Abstract

The invention concerns an adjustable device to allow the fixing of shelves of all types, of all imaginable shapes and of all usual thicknesses. It is constituted by a fixed U-shaped element (1) intended to be fixed to the wall (3) and a mobile element (2) having the same shape as (1) which can be moved closer to or away from the upper section of (1) at will by means of a rod (5) in order to clamp the shelf (4) and hold it in the horizontal position. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour fixer des étagères en porte-à-faux sur une paroi verticale quelques soient,la nature,l'épaisseur et la forme de l'étagère.The present invention relates to a device for fixing cantilevered shelves on a vertical wall whatever, the nature, thickness and shape of the shelf.

Traditionnellement,les supports éxistants sont du type " consoles " éxigeant toujours l'emploi de deux supports sur lesquels repose librement l'étagère,la stabilité de cette dernière est assurée par vissage sur les supports,opération particulièrement difficile lorsque la nature de l'étagère est en matériaux très dur et cassant comme le marbre,la céramique,­le verre ou le cristal.Traditionally, the existing supports are of the "console" type, always requiring the use of two supports on which the shelf freely rests, the stability of the latter is ensured by screwing on the supports, a particularly difficult operation when the nature of the shelf is made of very hard and brittle materials such as marble, ceramic, glass or crystal.

Si l'on veut installer une étagère ronde ou ovale,en marbre ou en verre,de trente centimètres de diamètre environ,­pour exposer un objet d'art,il faut deux supports fixés l'un près de l'autre,détruisant par leur encombrement la mise en valeur de l'objet exposé.If you want to install a round or oval shelf, marble or glass, about thirty centimeters in diameter, to display an art object, you need two supports fixed close to each other, destroying by their space the development of the exhibit.

Il existe des supports dits " type allongé " qui permet­tent la pose d'une étagère en porte-à-faux mais ce genre est réservé aux étagères d'une épaisseur et d'une longueur fixes.There are supports called "elongated type" which allow the installation of a shelf overhang but this kind is reserved for shelves of a fixed thickness and length.

Dans tous les cas,si l'étagère est d'une forme ou d'une matière inhabituelle,il faut faut fabriquer des supports spéciaux.In all cases, if the shelf is of an unusual shape or material, special supports must be made.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est de remédier à tous ces inconvénients et de pouvoir fabriquer en série des sup­ports simples,discrèts,élégants,solides et bon marché .The device according to the invention is to remedy all these drawbacks and to be able to mass produce simple, discreet, elegant, solid and inexpensive supports.

Le dispositif permet la pose d'étagères de toutes les formes imaginables,de toutes les épaisseurs usuelles et de toutes natures ( bois,agglomérés,verre,marbre,céramique,­matériaux composites,métaux ferreux et non ferreux.)The device allows the installation of shelves of all imaginable shapes, of all the usual thicknesses and of all kinds (wood, agglomerates, glass, marble, ceramic, composite materials, ferrous and non-ferrous metals.)

Le support comporte une partie immobile (I) qui se fixe sur la paroi verticale (3) et une partie mobile (2) qui peut se rapprocher ou s'éloigner de la surface supérieure de la partie immobile (I) afin de prendre en étau une partie de l'étagère (4) et la maintenir ainsi en position horizontale.The support comprises a stationary part (I) which is fixed on the vertical wall (3) and a mobile part (2) which can approach or move away from the upper surface of the stationary part (I) in order to take in vice part of the shelf (4) and thus keep it in a horizontal position.

Pour une étagère de forme carrée,ronde ou ovale ou encore inscriptible dans un carré,un seul support suffit.For a square, round or oval shelf or even writable in a square, a single support is enough.

Pour une forme rectangulaire ou inscriptible dans un rectangle,il faut deux ou plusieurs supports;leur nombre est fonction de la longueur et de la flexibilité de l'étagère.For a rectangular shape or writable in a rectangle, two or more supports are needed; their number depends on the length and flexibility of the shelf.

La partie mobile (2) se déplace verticalement par l'action d'une force éxercée sur la tige (5);cette tige (5) transmet la force à la surface supérieure de la partie mobile (2) uniformément répartie sur toute sa surface évitant le poinçonnement sur l'étagère.The mobile part (2) moves vertically by the action of a force exerted on the rod (5); this rod (5) transmits the force to the upper surface of the mobile part (2) uniformly distributed over its entire surface avoiding punching on the shelf.

Selon une forme préférentielle,les éléments (I) et (2) peuvent être en forme de U conformément aux figures I,2 et 3,­mais cette forme peut présenter une infinité de variantes artistiques en conservant le même principe de fonctionnement qui est celui de la machoire.According to a preferred form, the elements (I) and (2) can be U-shaped in accordance with Figures I, 2 and 3, but this form can have an infinite number of artistic variants while retaining the same operating principle which is that of jaw.

La liste des matériaux avec lesquels peuvent être fabriqués les éléments (I),(2) et (3) n'est pas restrictive.The list of materials with which elements (I), (2) and (3) can be made is not restrictive.

Selon une variante Fig. 3,les parties des éléments (I) et (2) qui sont en contact avec l'étagère sont revêtues d'une matière compressible (6) dans le cas où l'étagère est consti­tuée d'une matière fragile ou cassante.

  • La figure I représente le dispositif en coupe,on voit la partie immobile (I) se fixant sur la paroi verticale (3),­la partie mobile (2) qui enserre l'étagère (4) par une force transmise par la pièce (5).
  • La figure 2 représente le même dispositif vu de face.
  • La figure (3) représente en coupe la variante du dispo­sitif avec l'adjonction de matière compressible (6) sur les parties en contact avec l'étagère.
According to a variant FIG. 3, the parts of the elements (I) and (2) which are in contact with the shelf are coated with a compressible material (6) in the case where the shelf is made of a fragile or brittle material.
  • Figure I shows the device in section, we see the stationary part (I) fixing on the vertical wall (3), the mobile part (2) which encloses the shelf (4) by a force transmitted by the part (5 ).
  • Figure 2 shows the same device seen from the front.
  • Figure (3) shows in section the variant of the device with the addition of compressible material (6) on the parts in contact with the shelf.

La réalisation des pièces (I),(2),(5) concerne l'indus­trie mécanique (cisaillage,pliage,perçage,taraudage et décol­tage.The production of parts (I), (2), (5) concerns the mechanical industry (shearing, bending, drilling, tapping and peeling.

La finition des pièces (I),(2),(5),concerne l'industrie galvanoplastique.The finishing of parts (I), (2), (5) concerns the electroplating industry.

La présentation à la commercialisation,concerne l'indus­trie de l'emballage,cartons imprimés aux normes européennes recevant les supports sous coqueThe presentation for marketing, concerns the packaging industry, cartons printed to European standards receiving the supports under shell

La diffusion intéresse les quincailleries,les grandes surfaces de bricolage,les rayons de quincailleries et brico­lage des supermarchés et hypermarchés et les magasins de décoration et d'agencement.The distribution interests hardware stores, large DIY surfaces, hardware and DIY shelves in supermarkets and hypermarkets and decoration and layout stores.

La mise en oeuvre est facile aussi bien pour tous les artisans du bâtiment que pour les particuliers .The implementation is easy as well for all the craftsmen of the building as for the private individuals.
