Abstract

Device permitting commercial false-ceiling elements, made from mineral or vegetable-based fibres or composite materials, to be transformed into tilting false-ceiling elements. The invention relates to a device permitting the immediate access, without tools or dismounting, to any location of the plenum. It consists of a Z-shaped hinge (7) fitting into and sliding in a commercial section (10) having the shape of an inverted T with a double web, by virtue of the welded and coped part (9) which ensures the stability of the hinge (7) in the section (10). The axis (8B) of the part (8) is fitted into the L-shaped notches (3) made in the flanges of the angle brackets (2). The angle brackets (2) are fitted into the grooves (1B) of the panels (1). They are connected via crosspieces (4) immobilising the panels by punctured holes (6). The panels are unfitted and pivot about axes (8B) freeing the space between the T-shaped sections (10), thus permitting access to the technical (specialised) sheathing.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant l'accès immédiat à tout endroit d'un plenum (cacité comprise entre une dalle formant plafond et d'un plafond suspendu). Cet accès immédiat est permis sans outillage ni démontage.The present invention relates to a device allowing immediate access to any location of a plenum (capacity between a slab forming a ceiling and a suspended ceiling). This immediate access is allowed without tools or disassembly.

Dans l'architecture contemporaine, que cela soit en construction neuve ou en rénovation, les procédés de plafonds suspendus sont utilisés pour la correction acoustique, la décoration et la réalisation d'un plenum, recevant et dissimulant toutes les canalisations et conduits techniques.In contemporary architecture, whether in new construction or in renovation, suspended ceiling procedures are used for acoustic correction, decoration and the creation of a plenum, receiving and concealing all the technical pipes and conduits.

Actuellement, pour les corrections acoustiques imposées, les dalles en fibres minérales, végétales ou matériaux composites sont utilisées dans la majorité des cas de figures.Currently, for imposed acoustic corrections, slabs made of mineral fibers, plants or composite materials are used in most cases.

L'accès à tout endroit du plenum permettant d'assurer la maintenance des différents corps de métier, est actuellement obtenu par le démontage des dalles constituant le plafond suspendu entraînant souvent la détérioration de celles-ci.Access to any place in the plenum allowing maintenance of the various trades is currently obtained by dismantling the tiles constituting the suspended ceiling, often causing them to deteriorate.

Le dispositif de cette invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il transforme des éléments de plafonds suspendus en fibres minérales, végétales ou matériaux composites, en plafonds suspendus basculants. Ce procédé ayant l'avantage d'un accès rapide et immédiat à tout endroit du plenum et cela sans outillage, ni démontage, grâce à un ensemble de pièces métalliques pliées et soudées ou tous autres matériaux, tels que P.V.C. et dérivés, composites ou de synthèses, rendu solidaire des dalles pré-citées, assurant à celles-ci leur mobilité.The device of this invention overcomes this drawback. It transforms suspended ceiling elements into mineral fibers, plants or composite materials, into tilting suspended ceilings. This process has the advantage of rapid and immediate access to any place on the plenum, without tools or disassembly, thanks to a set of folded and welded metal parts or any other material, such as PVC and derivatives, composites or syntheses, made integral with the aforementioned slabs, ensuring their mobility.

Ainsi l'utilisateur peut intervenir à n'importe quel endroit du plenum, en soulevant légèrement les dalles et en les glissant vers le profil en T inversé à âme double (10). Les dalles dégagées du profil en T inversé à âme double (11) peuvent être basculées vers le bas, rendant libre l'espace entre les deux supports en T inversé à âme double (10 et 11).Thus the user can intervene at any place of the plenum, by slightly lifting the tiles and sliding them towards the inverted T profile with double core (10). The slabs released from the inverted T profile with double core (11) can be tilted down, making free space between the two supports in inverted T with double core (10 and 11).

En référence à ces dessins , l'ensemble de ce dispositif est constitué de:
Dalles (1) de plafonds suspendus du commerce en fibres minérales, végétales ou matériaux composites qui présentent sur leurs champs longitudinaux deux mortaises (1B).With reference to these drawings, the whole of this device consists of:
Slabs (1) of suspended ceilings from trade in mineral fibers, plants or composite materials which have two mortises (1B) on their longitudinal fields.

Les mortaises (1B) des dalles reçoivent des cornières métalliques (2) assemblées entre elles par des entretoises en forme de U (4) fixées par exemple avec des rivets aveugles (5) en usine ou sur chantier.The mortises (1B) of the slabs receive metal angles (2) assembled together by U-shaped spacers (4) fixed for example with blind rivets (5) in the factory or on site.

Les cornières métalliques (2) sont pourvues d'encoches en forme de L (3) pour le déboîtement et le pivotement autour des axes (8B).The metal angles (2) are provided with L-shaped notches (3) for disengagement and pivoting around the axes (8B).

Sur la base de ces entretoises (4) sont prévus des trous crevés (6) dont les aspérités du métal ainsi poinçonné, sont destinées à s'incruster dans les dalles (1), empêchant tout jeu latéral.On the base of these spacers (4) are provided punctured holes (6) whose asperities of the metal thus punched, are intended to become embedded in the slabs (1), preventing any lateral play.

Sont prévus par ailleurs des charnières coulissantes (7) constituées de pièces métalliques soudées. L'âme principale de ces charnières est découpée et pliée en forme de Z.Sliding hinges (7) are also provided made up of welded metal parts. The main core of these hinges is cut and folded into a Z shape.

Le dessous de la partie basse du Z (7) reçoit une pièce (9) en forme de U, soudée et découpée en pointe dans sa partie inférieure, pour permettre l'emboîtement dans le profil en forme de T (10) inversé à âme double.The underside of the lower part of the Z (7) receives a U-shaped part (9), welded and cut into a point in its lower part, to allow nesting in the inverted T-shaped profile (10) with a core double.

La partie haute de cette pièce (9) est grugée de part et d'autre afin d'assurer la stabilité de la charnière dans le profil en forme de T (10) inversé à âme double, ses ailes permettant l'appui des dalles de plafond.The upper part of this piece (9) is notched on both sides in order to ensure the stability of the hinge in the inverted T-shaped profile (10) with double core, its wings allowing the support of the slabs of ceiling.

Le dessous de la partie haute du Z (7) reçoit une pièce en forme d'équerre (8) soudée dans l'axe de la largeur. En partie basse de l'équerre, un axe rond métallique (8B) soudé, traverse l'âme de la pièce et dépasse d'égale distance de part et d'autre.The underside of the upper part of the Z (7) receives a square-shaped part (8) welded in the width axis. In the lower part of the square, a welded metallic round axis (8B), crosses the core of the part and exceeds the same distance on both sides.

Cet axe (8B) s'emboîte dans les encoches en forme de L (3) situées dans les ailes des cornières métalliques (2).This axis (8B) fits into the L-shaped notches (3) located in the wings of the metal angles (2).

La charnière (7) se place entre deux dalles (1) contiguës de plafonds suspendus et en assure leur déboîtement et pivotement, grâce à l'axe (8B) placé au centre de la partie basse de la pièce (8); axe emboîté dans les encoches en forme de L (3) pratiquées dans les ailes des cornières (2) métalliques des deux dalles contiguës (1).The hinge (7) is placed between two adjoining slabs (1) of suspended ceilings and ensures their dislocation and pivoting, thanks to the axis (8B) placed in the center of the lower part of the room (8); axis fitted into the L-shaped notches (3) formed in the wings of the metal angles (2) of the two adjoining slabs (1).

Selon le dessin d'ensemble de la figure 7, nous constatons que le fonctionnement est réalisé par la mise en place des charnières (7) dans les profils en forme de T (10) inversé à âme double par l'intermédiaire des pièces (9) en forme d'ancre. Cela permet d'emboîter les axes (8B) des charnières (7) dans les encoches en formes de L (3) des cornières (2) et de positionner pour le coulissement, les dalles à n'importe quel endroit du profil en T (10) inversé à âme double.According to the overall drawing of FIG. 7, we note that the operation is carried out by the installation of the hinges (7) in the T-shaped profiles (10) inverted with double core by means of the parts (9 ) in the form of an anchor. This allows the pins (8B) of the hinges (7) to be fitted into the L-shaped notches (3) of the angles (2) and to position the slabs at any point of the T-profile for sliding. 10) inverted double core.

Les dalles (1) peuvent ainsi pivoter sur les axes (8B) à l'intérieur des encoches (3) en forme de L.
Cette forme en L des encoches permet le déplacement longitudinal et le déboîtement des dalles autour des axes (8B).The slabs (1) can thus pivot on the axes (8B) inside the L-shaped notches (3).
This L-shape of the notches allows the longitudinal displacement and the dislocation of the slabs around the axes (8B).

Le déplacement longitudinal permet de venir reposer sur les ailes des profils en T (11) inversé à âme double les dalles de plafonds suspendus.The longitudinal movement allows the suspended ceiling tiles to come to rest on the wings of the inverted T-profiles (11) with a double core.

Le dispositif, selon l'ivention est particulièrement destiné à l'accès rapide et immédiat sans outillage, ni démontage, à tout endroit d'un plenum, pour des domaines d'application tels que:

  • Industries, Locaux Commerciaux, Bureaux, Laboratoires, Hôpitaux, Ecoles et en général, tous locaux devant être équipés de plafonds suspendus.
The device, according to the ivention is particularly intended for rapid and immediate access without tools or disassembly, at any place of a plenum, for fields of application such as:
  • Industries, Commercial Premises, Offices, Laboratories, Hospitals, Schools and in general, all premises to be fitted with suspended ceilings.
