Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de liaison entre deux profilés métalliques placés de champ, en contact l'un avec l'autre, en s'étendant respectivement selon deux directions perpendiculaires.The present invention relates to a connecting device between two metal sections placed in field, in contact with each other, extending respectively in two perpendicular directions.
Elle s'applique plus particulièrement à un sytème de connexion entre deux profilés, l'un transversal et l'autre longitudinal, de préférence horizontal et vertical, du genre de ceux utilisés pour constituer des ensembles ou structures en menuiseries métalliques, tels que des façades, vérandas, panneaux de support de vitres ou glaces, fixes ou mobiles etc...It applies more particularly to a connection system between two profiles, one transverse and the other longitudinal, preferably horizontal and vertical, of the kind used to constitute assemblies or structures in metal joinery, such as facades. , verandas, window or glass support panels, fixed or mobile etc ...
Dans de telles réalisations, on conçoit qu'il est indispensable de solidariser les profilés formant l'ossature de support de la partie vitrée, de façon sûre et efficace, notamment au moyen de pièces de connexion qui soient faciles à mettre en place et qui, outre leur fonction première de liaison mécanique des deux profilés, assurent à la jonction de ceux-ci, au droit de la pièce de connexion, une étanchéité satisfaisante, afin d'éviter que des poussières ou des liquides, notamment de l'eau de pluie ruisselant sur la structure, ne pénètre entre les profilés et la pièce.In such embodiments, it is understood that it is essential to secure the profiles forming the support frame of the glazed part, in a safe and effective manner, in particular by means of connection parts which are easy to put in place and which, in addition to their primary function of mechanical connection of the two profiles, ensure at the junction of these, in line with the connection piece, a satisfactory seal, in order to prevent dust or liquids, in particular rainwater dripping onto the structure, does not penetrate between the profiles and the part.
Dans le EP-A-88401836.7 au nom de la Société Demanderesse, on a déjà décrit une pièce de connexion de ce genre qui incorpore directement un bourrelet en matériau élastomère, formant ceinture autour de la partie de la pièce qui, fixée par ailleurs sur un des deux profilés, pénètre dans l'autre, en assurant par contact entre les surfaces portantes, l'étanchéité souhaitée. Toutefois, cette solution n'est pas toujours parfaite car si elle procure une étanchéité satisfaisante lors de l'engagement de la pièce dans un des profilés, elle n'assure pas le même effet vis-à-vis de l'autre, où des remontées d'eau peuvent alors se produire de façon préjudiciable.In EP-A-88401836.7 in the name of the Applicant Company, a connection piece of this type has already been described which directly incorporates a bead of elastomeric material, forming a belt around the part of the piece which, moreover fixed on a of the two profiles, penetrates into the other, ensuring by contact between the bearing surfaces, the desired seal. However, this solution is not always perfect because if it provides a satisfactory seal when the part is engaged in one of the profiles, it does not provide the same effect vis-à-vis the other, where upwelling can then occur detrimentally.
La présente invention vise un dispositif de liaison entre deux profilés qui évite cet inconvénient, en procurant un ensemble simple à fabriquer, facile à mettre en place et présentant un prix de revient réduit.The present invention relates to a connecting device between two profiles which avoids this drawback, by providing a unit which is simple to manufacture, easy to install and having a reduced cost price.
A cet effet, le dispositif de liaison et d'étanchéité selon l'invention, destiné à relier deux profilés métalliques perpendiculaires l'un à l'autre et présentant chacun une nervure centrale creuse, en saillie vers l'extérieur du profilé, disposée entre deux rainures latérales ouvertes, comportant chacune au moins un retour d'appui, le susdit dispositif comportant d'une part une pièce métallique, munie de deux pattes de fixation opposées et dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre pour l'immobilisation de la pièce dans la rainure du premier profilé voisine du second, la pièce métallique comportant au moins un doigt plat, s'étendant latéralement par rapport aux pattes de fixation et propre à pénétrer dans un logement homologue de la nervure centrale du second profilé afin de relier mécaniquement les deux profilés entre eux, lequel dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte d'autre part une pièce souple d'étanchéité, coiffant la nervure du deuxième profilé et immobilisée sur celui-ci par des bossages engagés dans les rainures latérales de ce second profilé et appliquées contre leurs retours d'appui, cette pièce souple comportant un bord plat, relevé et apte à venir s'appliquer contre la surface du premier profilé, au droit de la pièce métallique.To this end, the connection and sealing device according to the invention, intended to connect two metal profiles perpendicular to each other and each having a hollow central rib, projecting towards the outside of the profile, disposed between two open lateral grooves, each comprising at least one support return, the aforesaid device comprising on the one hand a metal part, provided with two opposite fixing lugs and in the extension of one another for the immobilization of the part in the groove of the first profile adjacent to the second, the metal part comprising at least one flat finger, extending laterally with respect to the fixing lugs and suitable for penetrating a housing homologous to the central rib of the second profile in order to connect mechanically the two profiles together, which device is characterized in that it also comprises a flexible sealing part, covering the rib of the second pro spun and immobilized thereon by bosses engaged in the lateral grooves of this second profile and applied against their support returns, this flexible piece comprising a flat edge, raised and capable of coming to be applied against the surface of the first profile , to the right of the metal part.
De préférence, la pièce métallique est réalisée en un alliage d'aluminium ou analogue, la pièce souple d'étanchéité étant constituée avec un élastomère en caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique.Preferably, the metal part is made of an aluminum alloy or the like, the flexible sealing part being constituted with an elastomer of natural or synthetic rubber.

La structure de support, partiellement représentée sur la Figure 1, se compose principalement de deux profilés métalliques, respectivement designés sous les références 1 et 2, ces profilés montés de champ l'un par rapport à l'autre, s'étendant selon deux directions perpendiculaires. Chacun d'eux comporte une nervure centrale 3, en saillie vers l'extérieur, cette nervure étant entourée de deux rainures latérales 4 et 5.The support structure, partially shown in Figure 1, consists mainly of two metal profiles, respectively designated under the
Selon l'invention, la liaison entre les deux profilés 1 et 2, en appui l'un sur l'autre, est réalisée au moyen d'un dispositif 6, schématiquement représenté sur la figure et dont le détail de réalisation sera largement explicité ci-après. Les profilés 1 et 2 font notamment partie d'une structure en menuiserie métallique pour permettre le support, dans une façade, une véranda ou un autre ensemble analogue, de vitres ou glaces 7, et/ou éléments de remplissage venant s'appliquer contre les nervures 3, l'ensemble une fois mis en place étant achevé par le montage, en application sur ces nervures, de serreurs ou plaques de protection extérieures analogues, respectivement 8 et 9, s'étendant parallèlement aux deux profilés en avant de ceux-ci.According to the invention, the connection between the two
La Figure 2 illustre avec plus de détails la réalisation pratique du dispositif 6 selon l'invention, assurant la liaison entre les profilés 1 et 2. Ce dispositif comporte ainsi principalement une pièce métallique 10 et une pièce souple d'étanchéité 11, associées respectivement à l'un et à l'autre des deux profilés et destinées à coopérer ensemble pour assurer à la fois le support et le blocage mécanique en position fixe de ces profilés et une étanchéité satisfaisante de leur assemblage.Figure 2 illustrates in more detail the practical embodiment of the
La pièce métallique 10 comporte principalement deux pattes de fixation 12 et 13, opposées l'une à l'autre et réunies chacune par un retour à angle droit 14 avec une partie centrale 15, s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan perpendiculaire à celui des pattes. Chacune de ces dernières comporte une lumière 16, de préférence de forme oblongue, pour permettre un léger ajustement longitudinal de la pièce par rapport à des perçages de réception (non représentés) prévus pour recevoir des vis de fixation 17 traversant ces lumières afin d'assurer l'immobilisation de la pièce 10 dans l'une des rainures latérales 5 de l'un des profilés, ici le profilé 1. La rainure 5 est celle située la plus près du second profilé 2, la pièce 10 pouvant coulisser selon la dimension longitudinale du profilé 1 jusqu'à la position souhaitée où elle est bloquée. La pièce 10 comporte par ailleurs, en prolongement de la partie centrale 15, un et de préférence deux doigts plats, respectivement 18 et 19, séparés l'un de l'autre par une fente 20, parallèle à la direction de ces doigts, l'ensemble permettant l'engagement sur la pièce 10 du profilé 2, par pénétration des doigts dans des logements 21 et 22 de même profil prévus à l'intérieur de la nervure en saillie 3 du profilé. De préférence, les doigts 18 et 19 présentent des largeurs différentes et également sont disposés dans des plans légèrement décalés de telle sorte que leur engagement à force dans les logements 21 et 22 de la nervure centrale 3 du second profilé 2 provoque sur les doigts un effort limité de fléchissement élastique, améliorant la tenue mécanique de l'assemblage réalisé. Avantageusement, les doigts 18 et 19 présentent des extrémités taillées en biseau, pour faciliter leur engagement dans la nervure. Les logements 21 et 22 sont enfin séparés par une arête longitudinale 23, qui pénètre simultanément dans la fente 20.The
Les dimensions relatives des doigts plats 18, 19 tant en largeur, longueur et épaisseur et celles des logements 21 et 22 sont choisies de manière à permettre un engagement du profilé 2 sur la pièce 10, une fois celle-ci bloquée sur le profilé 1 par ses pattes 12 et 13 et les vis 17, tel qu'il s'effectue sensiblement à force ou au plus avec un jeu minimal, juste nécessaire au coulissement relatif du profilé sur les doigts, tout en interdisant un débattement transversal du second profilé par rapport au premier, ce débattement étant en outre limité par l'appui mutuel de ces profilés.The relative dimensions of the
On conçoit cependant que la liaison ainsi réalisée, si elle apporte des garanties satisfaisantes quant à la rigidité mécanique nécessaire à l'assemblage, ne soit pas suffisante pour obtenir une parfaire étanchéité du montage, en particulier vis-à-vis des eaux de ruissellement sur la façade et notamment sur les vitres ou glaces 7 portées par la structure.It is understood, however, that the connection thus produced, if it provides satisfactory guarantees as to the mechanical rigidity necessary for assembly, is not sufficient to obtain perfect sealing of the assembly, in particular with respect to runoff on the facade and in particular on the windows or
A cet effet, le dispositif de liaison selon l'invention comporte, en combinaison avec la pièce métallique de connexion 10 décrite ci-dessus, une seconde pièce 11, en un matériau souple, en particulier en un élastomère ou en caoutchouc, naturel ou synthétique, moulé, destiné en complément à l'immobilisation mécanique des deux profilés, à réaliser une barrière étanche efficace au droit de la pièce métallique, à la jonction de ces profilés.To this end, the connection device according to the invention comprises, in combination with the
Dans ce but, la pièce 11 comporte un corps central 24, épousant sensiblement, en section droite, la forme d'un U, de façon à pouvoir coiffer et recouvrir par l'extérieur la nervure centrale 3 du profilé 2, au droit de l'extrémité de celui-ci dans laquelle pénètre les doigts 18 et 19 de la pièce 10. Le corps 24 se prolonge par deux extensions 25 et 26, sur les faces opposées de la nervure, ces extensions servant au raccordement du corps 24 avec deux bossages 27 et 28, de forme parallélépipédique, venus de moulage avec la pièce 11 et dont le profil est déterminé de telle sorte qu'ils s'adaptent précisément dans les rainures latérales, respectivement 4 et 5, du second profilé 2, en étant ainsi maintenus en position par les retours d'appui 29 que comporte ledit profilé, en avant de ces rainures. Le corps central 24 comporte par ailleurs une languette de centrage et d'immobilisation 30, propre à venir se clipser dans une gorge 31 ménagée au centre de la nervure 3, l'ensemble se prolongeant vers l'extérieur, selon la longueur de la rainure au-delà de la pièce 11, par un bourrelet 32.For this purpose, the
Le corps central 24 comporte par ailleurs deux bords plats ou surépaisseurs 33 et 34, se raccordant mutuellement à angle droit et dont le profil et la position sont définis lors du moulage de la pièce de telle sorte que, une fois les deux profilés 1 et 2 assemblés l'un avec l'autre, ces surépaisseurs s'appuient respectivement contre le bord du premier profilé 1 au droit de la rainure 5 dans laquelle sont bloquées les pattes de fixation de la pièce métallique 10, et contre la face latérale de la nervure centrale 3 de ce même profilé. Ces bords plats 33 et 34 assurent ainsi l'étanchéité au contact des deux profilés, en même temps que, du fait de la cuvette qu'ils forment avec le corps 24, permettent à l'eau de ruissellement de se recueillir dans celle-ci, en s'écoulant ensuite vers l'extérieur de la structure et non dans la ligne de jonction des deux profilés.The
Une fois les pièces 10 et 11 mises en place afin de réaliser de la façon décrite ci-dessus la liaison entre les deux profilés, la structure se complète par le montage des serreurs 8 et 9 avec notamment celui d'une garniture complémentaire 35, dont la Figure 3 illustre plus particulièrement le profil.Once the
Cette garniture 35 comporte ainsi une partie centrale 36, en un matériau souple ou métallique présentant néanmoins une relative souplesse, réuni à deux joints à lèvres respectivement 37 et 38, destinées à venir s'appliquer en même temps que le serreur 9 contre les vitres et glaces 7 de l'ensemble dans un logement 35a, en s'étendant, de part et d'autre de la nervure 3 les supportant, en l'espèce et comme illustré sur la Figure 1, celle du profilé 2, ici horizontal. La partie centrale 36 comporte un rebord 39 d'appui du second serreur 8, ce rebord étant prolongé par un retour 40, dirigé vers l'intérieur et formant portée d'appui pour cette dernière.This
La vue en coupe de la Figure 6 permet enfin de mieux comprendre le détail du montage des serreurs 8 et 9 et de la garniture d'étanchéité 35, le serreur 8 comportant notamment une plaquette d'appui interne 41 supportant deux joints 42, montés de part et d'autre de la nervure centrale 3 du profilé 1. La plaquette 41 vient reposer sur un bourrelet d'appui 43, prévu dans le prolongement de la nervure 3 et immobilisé vis-à-vis de cette dernière par une languette 44, montée à force dans une rainure axiale 45, correspondant au logement 22 de l'autre profilé.The sectional view of FIG. 6 finally makes it possible to better understand the detail of the mounting of the
On réalise ainsi un dispositif de liaison, de conception très simple, présentant des avantages remarquables en ce qui concerne la sûreté de la liaison réalisée entre deux profilés quelconques perpendiculaires l'un à l'autre et l'étanchéité de cette liaison. L'ensemble est facile à mettre en place et n'exige aucun entretien particulier, son remplacement éventuel, en cas de détérioration accidentelle, pouvant être effectué dans des conditions particulièrement aisées.A connection device is thus produced, of very simple design, having remarkable advantages as regards the safety of the connection produced between any two sections perpendicular to one another and the tightness of this connection. The assembly is easy to set up and requires no particular maintenance, its possible replacement, in the event of accidental deterioration, which can be carried out under particularly easy conditions.
Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit et représenté ci-dessus; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described and shown above; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.
