Description

La présente invention est relative à un ensemble d'habillage de façades, comprenant des panneaux rectangulaires, plans dans leur ensemble, et des organes de fixation desdits panneaux sur une structure support.The present invention relates to a set of facade cladding, comprising rectangular panels, planes as a whole, and members for fixing said panels to a support structure.

Afin d'habiller les façades d'un bâtiment, tant dans le secteur de la construction neuve que dans celui de la rénovation, on utilise habituellement des panneaux rectangulaires, plans dans leur ensemble, mais pouvant présenter des ondulations, en métal ou en matière plastique. Ces panneaux, qui peuvent être de dimensions quelconques, sont reliés à une structure-support, telle qu'un mur ou une charpente, par des organes de fixation, solidement fixés à la structure-support, et qui peuvent être constitués par des poutrelles verticales et horizontales. Les panneaux sont habituellement fixés sur ces organes de fixation par vissage ou agrafage. On s'efforce habituellement de rendre les fixations peu visibles, et peu accessibles aux agents atmosphériques.In order to dress the facades of a building, both in the new construction sector and in the renovation sector, rectangular panels are generally used, flat as a whole, but which may have undulations, made of metal or plastic . These panels, which can be of any size, are connected to a support structure, such as a wall or a frame, by fastening members, firmly fixed to the support structure, and which can be constituted by vertical beams and horizontal. The panels are usually fixed to these fixing members by screwing or stapling. Efforts are usually made to make the fasteners not very visible, and not very accessible to atmospheric agents.

Les panneaux peuvent être pourvus intérieurement d'une couche d'isolant thermique et/ou phonique, et on prévoit, en général, une lame d'air ventilé entre les panneaux et le mur.The panels can be provided internally with a layer of thermal and / or sound insulation, and provision is generally made for a layer of ventilated air between the panels and the wall.

On a proposé, dans FR-A-1.180.782, des panneaux formés d'une tôle dont les bords sont pliés, un des bords portant des prolongements plans, parallèles à la zone centrale du panneau et s'écartant de celle-ci, ces prolongements présentant des trous pour le passage de clous de fixation, alors que le bord opposé du panneau présente des prolongements analogues, mais dépourvus de trous, et disposés pour pénétrer dans des passages, situés entre les prolongements pourvus de trous d'un panneau adjacent, ces prolongements sans trous constituant des sortes d'ergots destinés à maintenir en place le panneau par rapport au panneau adjacent. Ce système exige un certain soin pour la mise en place, et procure une étanchéité imparfaite.FR-A-1,180,782 has proposed panels formed from a sheet whose edges are folded, one of the edges carrying planar extensions, parallel to the central zone of the panel and moving away from it, these extensions having holes for the passage of fixing nails, while the opposite edge of the panel has similar extensions, but devoid of holes, and arranged to penetrate passages, located between the extensions provided with holes of an adjacent panel , these extensions without holes constituting sorts of lugs intended to hold the panel in place relative to the adjacent panel. This system requires some care for installation, and provides an imperfect seal.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir un ensemble d'habillage de façade du type qu'on vient d'indiquer, qui présente une meilleure étanchéité et soit d'une mise en place plus facile, tout en restant d'un faible prix de revient tant pour l'obtention de chacun des panneaux et des organes de fixation, que pour leur transport et surtout leur mise en place. Cet ensemble d'habillage doit en outre permettre des effets esthétiques, par combinaison d'éléments modulaires standards de plusieurs dimensions, permettant des poses à joints alignés ou décalés. Bien entendu, il est désirable que l'ensemble ait une bonne résistance aux intempéries et au feu.The present invention aims to provide a set of facade cladding of the type just indicated, which has a better seal and is easier to set up, while remaining at a low price. returns both for obtaining each of the panels and fasteners, as for their transport and especially their installation. This covering set must also allow aesthetic effects, by combining standard modular elements of several dimensions, allowing poses with aligned or offset joints. Of course, it is desirable that the assembly has good resistance to weathering and fire.

Pour permettre d'atteindre ce résultat, l'invention fournit un ensemble d'habillage de façades, comprenant des panneaux rectangulaires, plans dans leur ensemble, et des organes de fixation desdits panneaux sur une structure-support, chaque panneau étant formé d'une pièce de tôle unique, pliée pour constituer une zone centrale plane, rectangulaire, et quatre bords plans inclinés par rapport à cette zone centrale,

  • un premier de ces bords portant un premier prolongement plan, parallèle à la zone centrale et s'écartant de celle-ci, et pourvu de moyens de liaison avec les organes de fixation,
  • un second de ces bords, opposé au premier, portant un second prolongement plan, parallèle à la zone centrale et s'écartant de celle-ci,
  • des moyens pour accrocher deux panneaux adjacents l'un à l'autre, ces moyens comprenant des trous sur le premier bord et des ergots sur le second bord,

   caractérisé en ce que le second prolongement plan est conçu pour venir se superposer au premier prolongement plan et porte sa face écartée du plan de la zone centrale, des ergots qui, lors du montage, pénètrent dans les trous du premier prolongement plan d'un panneau adjacent pour coopérer avec la face opposée de ce prolongement plan.To enable this result to be achieved, the invention provides a set of cladding for facades, comprising rectangular panels, planes as a whole, and members for fixing said panels to a support structure, each panel being formed from a single sheet metal part, folded to form a planar, rectangular central zone, and four planar edges inclined with respect to this central zone,
  • a first of these edges carrying a first planar extension, parallel to the central zone and deviating therefrom, and provided with means of connection with the fixing members,
  • a second of these edges, opposite the first, carrying a second planar extension, parallel to the central zone and deviating from the latter,
  • means for hanging two panels adjacent to each other, these means comprising holes on the first edge and lugs on the second edge,

characterized in that the second planar extension is designed to be superimposed on the first planar extension and carries its face away from the plane of the central zone, lugs which, during assembly, penetrate into the holes of the first planar extension of an adjacent panel to cooperate with the opposite face of this planar extension.

Comme on le comprend, le premier prolongement de chaque panneau se trouve placé entre le second prolongement du panneau voisin et les organes de fixation, alors que, par son second prolongement, il recouvre à son tour un panneau voisin, un peu à la manière des tuiles d'un toit.As can be understood, the first extension of each panel is placed between the second extension of the neighboring panel and the fixing members, while, by its second extension, it in turn covers a neighboring panel, somewhat in the manner of roof tiles.

De préférence, les moyens de liaison avec les organes de fixation, ainsi que les trous et ergots d' accrochage, sont du type à mise en place avec déplacement latéral, l'amplitude et le sens de déplacement étant les mêmes pour les fixations et les accrochages, si bien que la mise en place d'un panneau sur des moyens de fixation et sur un panneau adjacent déjà mis en place se fait d'un seul mouvement, et les moyens de fixation portent des moyens de blocage pour empêcher un mouvement inverse du panneau.Preferably, the means of connection with the fixing members, as well as the hooking holes and lugs, are of the type with positioning with lateral displacement, the amplitude and the direction of displacement being the same for the fixings and the hooks, so that the installation of a panel on fastening means and on an adjacent panel already in place is done in one movement, and the fastening means carry locking means to prevent reverse movement of the panel.

On conçoit que les temps de montage de l'ensemble d'habillage sont extrêmement réduits, puisqu'un seul mouvement est nécessaire pour fixer un panneau à la fois sur les organes de fixation et sur le panneau adjacent.It is understood that the assembly times of the covering assembly are extremely reduced, since only one movement is necessary to fix a panel both on the fixing members and on the adjacent panel.

Suivant un premier mode de réalisation, les moyens de liaison avec les organes de fixation sont constitués par des trous pratiqués dans ledit premier prolongement, et conçus pour être traversés par des ergots portés par les organes de fixation.According to a first embodiment, the means of connection with the fixing members consist of holes made in said first extension, and designed to be crossed by lugs carried by the fixing members.

Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens de liaison avec les organes de fixation comprennent des ergots portés par ledit prolongement plan, et conçus pour pénétrer dans des trous prévus dans les organes de fixation. Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, si la mise en place se fait avec déplacement latéral, il est clair que les dimensions des trous, dans le sens latéral, doivent être calculées pour permettre le déplacement correspondant des ergots.According to another embodiment, the means of connection with the fixing members comprise lugs carried by said planar extension, and designed to penetrate holes provided in the fixing members. In either case, if the installation is done with lateral displacement, it is clear that the dimensions of the holes, in the lateral direction, must be calculated to allow the corresponding movement of the pins.

De préférence, les organes de fixation comprennent des profilés verticaux portant, selon le cas, des ergots ou des trous, en deux lignes verticales, l'espacement entre ergots et trous successifs correspondant à la dimension verticale d'un panneau, ou un multiple simple de celle-ci. Dans ce cas, les deux prolongements correspondront aux côtés supérieur et inférieur du panneau, le premier prolongement étant de préférence le prolongement supérieur, de façon à empêcher les infiltrations de pluie à l'intérieur, toujours à la façon des tuiles d'un toit.Preferably, the fastening members comprise vertical profiles carrying, as the case may be, lugs or holes, in two vertical lines, the spacing between lugs and successive holes corresponding to the vertical dimension of a panel, or a simple multiple of it. In this case, the two extensions will correspond to the upper and lower sides of the panel, the first extension preferably being the upper extension, so as to prevent rain infiltration inside, always in the manner of roof tiles.

Avantageusement, les profilés verticaux dont on vient de parler comportent une zone centrale déprimée entre les lignes d'ergots ou trous, et les bords des panneaux qui ne portent pas de prolongement sont un peu plus larges que les autres bords, et pénètrent dans ladite zone centrale déprimée, et des moyens de blocage viennent serrer la partie externe de ces bords entre eux-mêmes et le flan de ladite zone déprimée.Advantageously, the vertical profiles which we have just spoken of have a depressed central zone between the lug lines or holes, and the edges of the panels which do not carry an extension are a little wider than the other edges, and penetrate into said zone. central depressed, and blocking means clamp the outer part of these edges between themselves and the blank of said depressed area.

On obtient ainsi, de façon simple, un chenal d'écoulement des eaux de pluie, constitué par la zone centrale déprimée des profilés verticaux. D'autre part, les moyens de blocage peuvent être utilisés comme des éléments de masquage des joints.There is thus obtained, in a simple manner, a channel for the flow of rainwater, constituted by the depressed central zone of the vertical profiles. On the other hand, the locking means can be used as elements for masking the joints.

L'invention va maintenant être exposée de façon plus détaillée à l'aide d'exemples illustrés avec les dessins, parmi lesquels :The invention will now be explained in more detail with the aid of examples illustrated with the drawings, among which:

Figure 1 est une vue en plan du flan de tôle à partir duquel est fabriqué un panneau.Figure 1 is a plan view of the sheet blank from which a panel is made.

Figure 2 est une vue en élévation partielle, avec arrachage, d'un ensemble d'habillage terminé, comportant plusieurs panneaux.Figure 2 is a partial elevational view, with parts broken away, of a finished covering assembly, comprising several panels.

Figure 3 est une coupe verticale selon la ligne III-III de la figure 2.Figure 3 is a vertical section along line III-III of Figure 2.

Figure 4 est une vue en coupe horizontale, selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 2, montrant les bords d'un panneau et un organe de fixation.Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view along the line IV-IV of Figure 2, showing the edges of a panel and a fixing member.

Figure 5 est une coupe horizontale agrandie selon la ligne V-V de la figure 2.Figure 5 is an enlarged horizontal section along the line V-V in Figure 2.

Figure 6 est une vue partielle d'un panneau, montrant le premier bord, dans un second mode de réalisation.Figure 6 is a partial view of a panel, showing the first edge, in a second embodiment.

Figure 7 est une vue en coupe, analogue à la figure 4, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 6.Figure 7 is a sectional view, similar to Figure 4, in the embodiment of Figure 6.

Figure 8 est une vue en perspective partielle de l'organe de fixation de la figure 3.Figure 8 is a partial perspective view of the fixing member of Figure 3.

Figures 9 à 11 sont des exemples de disposition de panneaux pour les habillages de façades.Figures 9 to 11 are examples of arrangement of panels for cladding facades.

Le flan représenté à la figure 1 comprend une partie centrale plane, qui se raccorde par des lignes de pliage 2, 3, 4, 5 à des parties 6, 7, 8, 9 destinées à constituer les bords inclinés. L'une de ces parties 6 est elle-même reliée par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne de pliage 10 à une partie 11 destinée à constituer le premier prolongement. La partie 8 destinée à former le bord opposé est également reliée, par une ligne de pliage 12, à une partie 13 destinée à former le second prolongement.The blank shown in FIG. 1 comprises a flat central part, which is connected by fold lines 2, 3, 4, 5 to parts 6, 7, 8, 9 intended to constitute the inclined edges. One of these parts 6 is itself connected via a fold line 10 to a part 11 intended to constitute the first extension. The part 8 intended to form the opposite edge is also connected, by a fold line 12, to a part 13 intended to form the second extension.

Il est clair que les lignes de pliage 2 à 5, 10 et 12 ne sont pas nécessairement visibles sur le flanc lui-même avant qu'on ait procédé au pliage.It is clear that the fold lines 2 to 5, 10 and 12 are not necessarily visible on the flank itself before folding has been carried out.

La partie destinée à constituer le premier prolongement 11 présente deux trous 14 et 15, rectangulaires et identiques, et deux trous en forme de poire 16 et 17, dont on verra plus loin la fonction.The part intended to constitute the first extension 11 has two holes 14 and 15, rectangular and identical, and two pear-shaped holes 16 and 17, the function of which will be seen below.

Si on se reporte maintenant à la figure 2, on voit que le flan a été plié selon les lignes de pliage 2 à 5, pour former des arêtes auxquelles on a donné les mêmes références, et qui séparent le panneau central 1 des bords inclinés 6 à 9. Les bords 6 et 8 ont été pliés en sens inverse selon les lignes de pliage 10 et 12, devenues les arêtes pourvues des mêmes repères, si bien que les prolongements 11 et 13 sont dans des plans parallèles à celui de la partie centrale 1, mais décalés par rapport à ce dernier plan.Referring now to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the blank has been folded along the fold lines 2 to 5, to form edges to which the same references have been given, and which separate the central panel 1 from the inclined edges 6 to 9. The edges 6 and 8 were folded in opposite directions along the fold lines 10 and 12, becoming the edges provided with the same marks, so that the extensions 11 and 13 are in planes parallel to that of the central part 1, but offset with respect to the latter plane.

Par ailleurs, on a soudé sur la face interne du prolongement 13, c'est-à-dire sur la face qui est du côté opposé à la partie centrale, deux ergots 18 et 19, dont l'un est représenté en coupe à la figure 5.Furthermore, two lugs 18 and 19, one of which is shown in cross section, have been welded to the internal face of the extension 13, that is to say on the face which is on the side opposite the central part. figure 5.

La figure 4 permet de comprendre la manière dont un panneau est fixé sur l'organe de fixation. L'organe de fixation 20, constitué d'un profilé d'aluminium par exemple, comporte un corps central 21, traversé par des trous de fixation 22, par lesquels il est monté, au moyen de vis non représentée et de fer 23 sur un mur 24. Le corps central 21, de forme générale plane, porte deux ailes perpendiculaires 25 et 26. Ces ailes sont approximativement planes et contenues dans le même plan. Elles présentent cependant un gradin 27, 28 à une certaine distance de leur extrémité, si bien que celle-ci est plus éloignée du mur 24 que la partie centrale, qui est déprimée. En outre, la partie centrale 21 présente, à l'opposé des trous de fixation 22, une rainure longitudinale 29, à bords parallèles, et dans laquelle vient se coincer une aile d'une pièce de blocage 30. Chacune des ailes 25, 26 porte, près de son extrémité, une série de tétons 31, 32, régulièrement espacés, et qui portent eux-mêmes chacun un disque 33, 34, parallèle au flan de l'aile 25, 26. Le diamètre des disques 33, 34 est très légèrement inférieur à celui de la partie large des trous 16, 17 en forme de poire, alors que le diamètre des tétons 31, 32 est un peu inférieur à la largeur de la partie rétrécie des mêmes trous 16, 17. On conçoit qu'il est possible de faire pénétrer les disques 33, 34 à l'intérieur des trous 16, 17, puis par un déplacement latéral, d'immobiliser le panneau, le téton 31, 32 étant dans la partie rétrécie du trou 16, 17.FIG. 4 makes it possible to understand the manner in which a panel is fixed to the fixing member. The fixing member 20, consisting of an aluminum profile for example, comprises a central body 21, crossed by fixing holes 22, by which it is mounted, by means of screws not shown and iron 23 on a wall 24. The central body 21, of generally planar shape, carries two perpendicular wings 25 and 26. These wings are approximately flat and contained in the same plane. However, they have a step 27, 28 at a certain distance from their end, so that the latter is further from the wall 24 than the central part, which is depressed. In addition, the central part 21 has, opposite the fixing holes 22, a longitudinal groove 29, with parallel edges, and in which a wing of a locking piece 30 is jammed. Each of the wings 25, 26 carries, near its end, a series of nipples 31, 32, regularly spaced, and which each carry a disc 33, 34, parallel to the flank of the wing 25, 26. The diameter of the discs 33, 34 is very slightly less than that of the wide part of the pear-shaped holes 16, 17, while the diameter of the studs 31, 32 is slightly less than the width of the narrowed part of the same holes 16, 17. It will be appreciated that it is possible to make the discs 33, 34 penetrate inside the holes 16, 17, then by lateral displacement, to immobilize the panel, the stud 31, 32 being in the narrowed part of the hole 16, 17.

Simultanément, lors du montage, les ergots 18, 19 pénètrent dans les trous 14, 15 du panneau préalablement mis en place, c'est-à-dire plus bas si on considère la figure 2, et le déplacement latéral amène l'ergot 18, 19 à coopérer avec la face inférieure du prolongement 11 du panneau correspondant. La présence des disques 32 et 33, mis en place préalablement sur le panneau inférieur, ne gêne pas la mise en place du nouveau panneau, attendu qu'ils se trouvent dans l'espace créé par la forme du bord incliné 8, et en partie sous la partie centrale 1 du panneau, laquelle est écartée du plan contenant ces disques, ainsi qu'on peut le voir à la figure 4.Simultaneously, during assembly, the pins 18, 19 penetrate into the holes 14, 15 of the panel beforehand set up, that is to say lower if we consider Figure 2, and the lateral movement causes the lug 18, 19 to cooperate with the underside of the extension 11 of the corresponding panel. The presence of the discs 32 and 33, previously placed on the lower panel, does not hinder the establishment of the new panel, since they are in the space created by the shape of the inclined edge 8, and in part under the central part 1 of the panel, which is spaced from the plane containing these disks, as can be seen in FIG. 4.

Les bords latéraux 7 et 9 sont, grâce à la forme du flanc, un peu plus longs que les bords supérieur et inférieur 6 et 8. La différence correspond à l'importance du gradin 27, 28 de l'organe de fixation.The lateral edges 7 and 9 are, thanks to the shape of the sidewall, a little longer than the upper and lower edges 6 and 8. The difference corresponds to the importance of the step 27, 28 of the fixing member.

Après que les panneaux ont été mis en place par déplacement latéral, la pièce de blocage est montée à force sur la rainure 29 de l'organe de fixation. Elle présente un corps à section en forme de trapèze, dont les bords tiennent immobilisés les bords 7 et 9 de deux panneaux adjacents dans le sens horizontal, empêchant ainsi un déplacement latéral en sens inverse de celui qui a eu lieu lors du montage. Une nervure, en saillie sur le corps, est enfoncée dans la rainure 29.After the panels have been put in place by lateral displacement, the blocking piece is forcibly mounted on the groove 29 of the fixing member. It has a body in the shape of a trapezoid, the edges of which immobilize the edges 7 and 9 of two adjacent panels in the horizontal direction, thus preventing lateral movement in the opposite direction to that which took place during assembly. A rib projecting from the body is pressed into the groove 29.

Les figures 6 à 8 sont relatives à une variante de l'ensemble qu'on vient de décrire.Figures 6 to 8 relate to a variant of the assembly just described.

Cette variante affecte uniquement le prolongement supérieur 11, si bien que le panneau n'est pas représenté en entier sur la figure 6. La différence consiste en ce que le prolongement 11, de plus petites dimensions, ne comporte plus les trous en forme de poire 16 et 17. Sur sa face interne, le prolongement 11 porte des ergots 40, 41, analogues aux ergots 18 et 19 portés par la face interne du prolongement inférieur 13. L'organe de fixation, au lieu de porter des tétons 31, 32, eux-mêmes porteurs de disques 33, 34, présente une série de trous 42, 43, pratiqués à intervalles réguliers sur ses ailes 25, 26.This variant only affects the upper extension 11, so that the panel is not shown in its entirety in FIG. 6. The difference is that the extension 11, of smaller dimensions, no longer has the pear-shaped holes. 16 and 17. On its internal face, the extension 11 carries lugs 40, 41, similar to lugs 18 and 19 carried by the internal face of the lower extension 13. The fixing member, instead of carrying pins 31, 32 , themselves carrying discs 33, 34, has a series of holes 42, 43, made at regular intervals on its wings 25, 26.

On comprend que les dimensions des trous 42, 43, ainsi que des ergots 40, 41, de même que leurs dimensions, sont calculés pour qu'on puisse encore monter un panneau par un seul mouvement de déplacement latéral. Pour une sûreté supplémentaire, une pièce de renforcement 44, 45 est prévue à la partie inférieure de l'aile 25, 26 de l'organe de fixation, les pièces de renforcement constituent des goussets dans lesquels pénètre l'extrémité libre de l'ergot 40, 41. La déformation de celle-ci, sous l'effet d'une force extérieure tendant, par exemple, à écarter le panneau du mur et de l'organe de fixation, est ainsi empêchée ou rendue plus difficile.It is understood that the dimensions of the holes 42, 43, as well as the lugs 40, 41, as well as their dimensions, are calculated so that one can still mount a panel by a single movement of lateral movement. For additional safety, a reinforcement piece 44, 45 is provided in the lower part of the wing 25, 26 of the fixing member, the reinforcement pieces constitute gussets into which the free end of the lug penetrates. 40, 41. The deformation thereof, under the effect of an external force tending, for example, to separate the panel from the wall and from the fixing member, is thus prevented or made more difficult.

Il est clair que l'on peut prévoir également de telles pièces de renforcement à proximité des trous 14, 15 pour empêcher une déformation des ergots 18 et 19.It is clear that such reinforcing parts can also be provided near the holes 14, 15 to prevent deformation of the lugs 18 and 19.

Les deux modes de réalisation qu'on vient d'exposer procurent à peu près les mêmes avantages. On notera toutefois que le panneau de la figure 6 est un peu plus léger que celui des figures 1 à 5. En revanche, la disposition de la figure 2 permet, à la pose de chaque panneau, de contrôler visuellement si le panneau précédent a été correctement mis en place sur l'organe de fixation.The two embodiments which have just been described provide approximately the same advantages. Note however that the panel of Figure 6 is a little lighter than that of Figures 1 to 5. On the other hand, the arrangement of Figure 2 allows, when installing each panel, to visually check if the previous panel has been correctly positioned on the fixing member.

Les figures 9 à 11 illustrent différents modes de pose de panneaux selon l'invention, la figure 9 montre des joints alignés et la figure 10 des joints décalés. La figure 11 montre l'emploi de panneaux de dimensions différentes, les grands panneaux ayant une largeur double de celle des petits panneaux.Figures 9 to 11 illustrate different methods of installing panels according to the invention, Figure 9 shows aligned joints and Figure 10 offset joints. Figure 11 shows the use of panels of different dimensions, the large panels having a width twice that of the small panels.

Il est clair que bien d'autres variantes de disposition sont possibles, tout en gardant les avantages de la structure de l'invention.It is clear that many other alternative arrangements are possible, while retaining the advantages of the structure of the invention.

Le vide résultant du décalage entre le plan de la partie centrale 1 et celui des prolongements 11 et 13 peut, bien évidemment, être mis à profit pour y disposer des couches de matière isolante thermique et/ou phonique, ou encore des matières destinées à améliorer la résistance au feu.The vacuum resulting from the offset between the plane of the central part 1 and that of the extensions 11 and 13 can, of course, be taken advantage of in order to have there layers of thermal and / or sound insulating material, or else materials intended to improve fire resistance.

On appréciera également le fait que les panneaux, avant montage, sont empilables les uns dans les autres, ce qui diminue les frais de transport.It will also be appreciated that the panels, before mounting, are stackable one inside the other, which reduces transport costs.
