Description

La présente invention concerne une construction mobile déployable entre une première configuration de rangement et de transport et une seconde configuration d'utilisation.The present invention relates to a mobile construction deployable between a first storage and transport configuration and a second configuration of use.

L'aménagement de stands, de halls ou espaces d'exposition, de chapiteaux pour réceptions, ..., à titre temporaire est le plus souvent réalisé par l'assemblage sur site de différents constituants d'une structure (montants, poteaux, traverses, bâches...), et la mise en place à l'intérieur de l'espace ainsi constitué d'un plancher. Cette construction implique un grand nombre d'opérations d'assemblage, voire une préparation préalable du terrain, donc, une main d'oeuvre importante disposant d'un outillage approprié. Les moyens d'assemblage comportent certaines pièces amovibles et demandent une vérification fréquente pour remplacer les éléments qui inévitablement se perdent au cours des différents montages et démontages de ces structures.The arrangement of stands, halls or exhibition spaces, marquees for receptions, etc., on a temporary basis is most often achieved by the assembly on site of various constituents of a structure (uprights, posts, sleepers , tarpaulins ...), and the installation inside the space thus made up of a floor. This construction involves a large number of assembly operations, or even prior preparation of the land, therefore, a large workforce with appropriate tools. The assembly means include certain removable parts and require frequent verification to replace the elements which inevitably get lost during the various assemblies and disassembly of these structures.

On a déjà proposé, pour faciliter la création de ces constructions temporaires, des structures déployables, notamment en forme de chapiteau s'ouvrant comme un éventail. Ces structures ont donné pleinement satisfaction pour certains cas d'utilisation, mais du fait de leur conception, elles n'intègrent pas toutes les commodités et tous les accessoires dont on a besoin pour par exemple créer un hall d'exposition éclairé, le cas échéant pouvant être chauffé et d'aspect élégant.We have already proposed, to facilitate the creation of these temporary constructions, deployable structures, in particular in the form of a tent opening like a fan. These structures have given full satisfaction for certain use cases, but due to their design, they do not integrate all the amenities and all the accessories that one needs to for example create a lighted exhibition hall, if necessary can be heated and has an elegant appearance.

Par la présente invention, on entend satisfaire le besoin qui existe de disposer de bâtiments temporaires élégants et offrant toutes les commodités de confort et d'utilisation, notamment en matière d'énergie disponible, en proposant une construction mobile déployable et repliable rapidement et de manière entièrement automatique.By the present invention, it is intended to satisfy the need which exists to have elegant temporary buildings and offering all the conveniences of comfort and use, in particular as regards available energy, by proposing a mobile construction which can be deployed and folded quickly and in a manner fully automatic.

Selon l'invention, cette construction mobile est déployable entre une première configuration de rangement et de transport, en forme de caisson parallélépipédique et une seconde configuration d'utilisation délimitée par au moins une plancher, deux parois latérales, et une couverture. Elle est bien entendu repliable de la seconde vers la première configuration. Pour obtenir ce résultat, cette construction comporte un panneau de base rectangulaire formant le fond du caisson et la partie centrale du plancher, deux panneaux latéraux de même longueur que le panneau de base, chacun étant articulé à l'un des longs bords du panneau de base et formant les côtés latéraux du caisson et deux volets intermédiaires du plancher, deux structures comportant chacune deux panneaux perpendiculaires l'un à l'autre, l'un de ces panneaux étant de largeur sensiblement égale à la demi-largeur du panneau de base articulé au bord libre du panneau latéral correspondant, formant une demi-paroi supérieure du caisson et un volet d'extrémité du plancher, l'autre panneau étant de largeur sensiblement égale à celle des panneaux latéraux, logé à l'intérieur du caisson et formant une paroi latérale de la construction.According to the invention, this mobile construction can be deployed between a first storage and transport configuration, in the form of a rectangular box and a second configuration of use delimited by at least one floor, two side walls, and a cover. It is of course foldable from the second to the first configuration. To obtain this result, this construction comprises a rectangular base panel forming the bottom of the box and the central part of the floor, two side panels of the same length as the base panel, each being hinged to one of the long edges of the panel. base and forming the lateral sides of the box and two intermediate flaps of the floor, two structures each comprising two panels perpendicular to each other, one of these panels being of width substantially equal to the half-width of the base panel hinged to the free edge of the corresponding side panel, forming an upper half-wall of the box and an end flap of the floor, the other panel being of width substantially equal to that of the side panels, housed inside the box and forming a side wall of the building.

L'ossature de base de la construction selon l'invention telle qu'elle est définie ci-dessus permet une repliement en forme de caisson parallélépipédique dont la largeur ne dépasse pas la largeur du gabarit routier et dont la longueur peut être adaptée à la longueur communément utilisée dans le transport par route (par exemple 12 mètres). La construction, dans son état replié, est du type container qui peut être transporté sur une plate-forme.The basic framework of the construction according to the invention as defined above allows folding in the form of a parallelepiped box whose width does not exceed the width of the road gauge and whose length can be adapted to the length commonly used in road transport (eg 12 meters). The construction, in its folded state, is of the container type which can be transported on a platform.

De manière préférée, la construction selon l'invention comporte à chaque extrémité du panneau de base, à l'extérieur du volume balayé par le pivotement des autres panneaux, un cadre perpendiculaire à ce panneau de base dont le contour correspond au contour extérieur du caisson. Dans un mode de réalisation, une poutre faîtière parallèle au panneau de base est montée à l'extrémité de deux bras pivotants articulés sur chacun des cadres autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à ces derniers.Preferably, the construction according to the invention comprises at each end of the base panel, outside the volume swept by the pivoting of the other panels, a frame perpendicular to this base panel whose contour corresponds to the exterior contour of the box . In one embodiment, an ridge beam parallel to the base panel is mounted at the end of two pivoting arms articulated on each of the frames around an axis perpendicular to the latter.

Dans ce cas, une bâche formant la couverture de la construction déployée est attelée au bord libre de la structure à panneaux perpendiculaires et cette poutre faîtière, et de préférence ces poutres faîtières car la construction en comportera deux parallèles montées chacune pivotante sur l'un des montants des cadres sus-dits, forment le soutien de la bâche de couverture dans la partie centrale de celle-ci qui est par ces poutres même surélevée et tendue. On forme ainsi une couverture à double pente ce qui est avantageux pour l'écoulement des eaux de pluie.In this case, a tarpaulin forming the cover of the deployed construction is coupled to the free edge of the structure with perpendicular panels and this ridge beam, and preferably these ridge beams because the construction will include two parallel ones each pivotally mounted on one of the amounts of the aforementioned frames, form the support of the covering sheet in the central part thereof which is by these beams even raised and stretched. A double slope cover is thus formed, which is advantageous for the flow of rainwater.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la construction comporte un panneau supérieur qui forme couvercle du caisson dans l'état replié de la construction et partie supérieure de couverture dans l'état déployé de celle-ci, ce panneau étant attelé de manière mobile verticalement à chacun des cadres d'extrémité que possède la construction, au moyen par exemple de vérins d'élévation logés dans les montants verticaux de ces cadres, une bâche s'étendant entre chacun des bords longitudinaux de ce panneau supérieur et le bord libre de chaque structure à panneaux perpendiculaires.In another embodiment, the construction comprises an upper panel which forms a cover of the box in the folded state of the construction and upper cover part in the deployed state of the latter, this panel being movably coupled vertically to each of the end frames which the construction has, for example by means of elevating cylinders housed in the vertical uprights of these frames, a tarpaulin extending between each of the longitudinal edges of this upper panel and the free edge of each structure with perpendicular panels.

La bâche qui forme la couverture de cette construction est lors du repliement logée à l'intérieur du caisson de même que les parois latérales de la construction qui'sont ainsi protégées lors du rangement et du transport. Ceci est avantageux car la bâche et les parois latérales sont les parties de la construction qui sont le plus fragiles, la bâche du fait même de son matériau et les parois latérales parce qu'elles peuvent inclure des baies vitrées voire être en totalité constituées de panneaux de glace.The cover that forms the cover of this construction is during the folding housed inside the box as well as the side walls of the construction which are thus protected during storage and transport. This is advantageous because the tarpaulin and the side walls are the most fragile parts of the construction, the tarpaulin by its very material and the side walls because they can include bay windows or even be made entirely of panels. of ice.

Les cadres disposés à l'extrémité de la construction peuvent constituer des encadrements de portes, mais, de préférence, chacun d'eux est prolongé vers l'extérieur par un caisson fixe d'extrémité dont la section est au plus égale à celle de la section de la construction à l'état replié, l'un de ces caissons étant fermé et constituant un local technique abritant divers dispositifs et notamment la source d'énergie (par exemple un groupe électrogène) l'autre caisson étant quant à lui soit limité à des panneaux périphériques formant bouche d'accès à l'intérieur de la construction déployée, soit constitué de ces panneaux et de ventaux de portes.The frames disposed at the end of the construction may constitute door frames, but, preferably, each of them is extended outwards by a fixed end box whose cross section is at most equal to that of the section of the construction in the folded state, one of these boxes being closed and constituting a technical room sheltering various devices and in particular the energy source (for example a generator) the other box being either limited to peripheral panels forming an access mouth inside the deployed structure, or made up of these panels and door leaves.

Egalement de manière préférée, la construction de l'invention comporte dans l'épaisseur des panneaux, des moyens moteurs pour commander leur pivotement relatif lors du déploiement et du repliage. Ces moyens moteurs seront constitués par des vérins hydrauliques alimentés par une centrale de fluide sous pression disposée par exemple dans le local technique.Also preferably, the construction of the invention comprises, in the thickness of the panels, motor means for controlling their relative pivoting during deployment and folding. These drive means will be constituted by hydraulic cylinders supplied by a pressurized fluid power station arranged for example in the technical room.

Enfin, pour permettre le chargement et le déchargement de la construction dans son état replié sur ou à partir d'une plate-forme de transport, le panneau de base équipé de ces cadres, est pourvu de pieds télescopiques s'étendant parallèlement aux montants de chaque cadre. Ces pieds télescopiques seront attelés au panneau de base et aux montants des cadres par un bras pivotant permettant de les faire passer d'une position de service à l'extérieur de la largeur du panneau de base donc du caisson à une position de rangement à l'intérieur de cette largeur, par exemple le long de chacun des caissons fixes d'extrémité de la construction.Finally, to allow the loading and unloading of the construction in its folded state on or from a transport platform, the base panel equipped with these frames, is provided with telescopic legs extending parallel to the uprights of each frame. These telescopic legs will be coupled to the base panel and the uprights of the frames by a pivoting arm allowing them to pass from a service position outside the width of the base panel, therefore from the box to a storage position at the inside this width, for example along each of the fixed end boxes of the construction.

Comme représenté aux figures 1 à 4, la construction mobile de l'invention comporte un panneau de base 1 dont l'ossature est par exemple en construction mécano-soudée et qui peut être revêtue sur sa face supérieure de tout parement approprié (textile, bois...). Ce panneau 1 possède des longerons 2 qui font saillie sous sa face inférieure de manière à constituer des supports de la construction.As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the mobile construction of the invention comprises a base panel 1 whose framework is for example in mechanically welded construction and which can be coated on its upper face with any suitable facing (textile, wood ...). This panel 1 has side members 2 which project under its underside so as to constitute supports for the construction.

De chaque côté de ce panneau de base 1 et articulé à ses longs bords 3 autour d'un axe 4, la construction comporte deux panneaux latéraux 5 et 6, de même longueur que le panneau 1 et de largeur égale à la hauteur du caisson que forme la construction dans son état replié. Cette largeur sera de l'ordre de 2 mètres de manière que la hauteur hors tout du caisson soit de l'ordre de 2,50 mètres. De même la largeur du panneau de base 1 est également de l'ordre de 2 mètres pour que la largeur hors tout du caisson soit de l'ordre de 2,50 mètres ou un peu moins. Ces dimensions donnent au caisson un encombrement correspondant au gabarit routier admis.On each side of this base panel 1 and articulated at its long edges 3 around an axis 4, the construction comprises two side panels 5 and 6, the same length as the panel 1 and of width equal to the height of the box as forms the construction in its folded state. This width will be of the order of 2 meters so that the overall height of the box is of the order of 2.50 meters. Likewise, the width of the base panel 1 is also of the order of 2 meters so that the overall width of the box is of the order of 2.50 meters or a little less. These dimensions give the box a space corresponding to the accepted road gauge.

L'actionnement des panneaux 5 et 6 autour de leur articulation 4 est assuré par des vérins hydrauliques 7, 8, logés dans l'épaisseur du panneau de base 1 et attelés par articulations entre d'une part un longeron de ce panneau de base et d'autre part, des ailes d'extrémité des panneaux 5 et 6. Le nombre de vérins attelés entre le panneau de base et chaque panneau latéral dépendra bien entendu de la longueur de la construction. Pour une longueur de 12 mètres environ, on aura prévu de disposer par exemple sept vérins 7 et sept vérins 8.The actuation of the panels 5 and 6 around their articulation 4 is ensured by hydraulic cylinders 7, 8, housed in the thickness of the base panel 1 and coupled by articulations between on the one hand a spar of this base panel and on the other hand, the end wings of the panels 5 and 6. The number of cylinders coupled between the base panel and each side panel will of course depend on the length of the construction. For a length of approximately 12 meters, provision will be made for example to have seven jacks 7 and seven jacks 8.

Le bord libre de chacun des panneaux 5 et 6 porte un axe d'articulation 9 pour une structure 10, 11 constituée de deux panneaux perpendiculaires 12, 13 pour la structure 10 et 14, 15 pour la structure 11. La largeur des panneaux 12 et 14 qui sont directement articulés autour de l'axe 9 aux panneaux 5 et 6, est égale sensiblement à la demi-largeur du panneau de base 1, aux jeux de fonctionnement près. La largeur des panneaux 13 et 15 est, aux jeux de fonctionnement près, égale à la largeur des panneaux 5 et 6 (de l'ordre de 2 mètres). Des vérins 16 et 17, semblables aux vérins 7 et 8 sont disposés dans l'épaisseur des panneaux 5 et 6 pour manoeuvrer les structures 10 et 11 en pivotement autour des axes 9. Il faut par ailleurs noter que les articulations des panneaux entre eux possèdent des moyens de butée non représentés qui limitent leurs débattements relatifs à environ 90° et par lesquels ils sont arrêtés les uns par rapport aux autres à l'encontre des forces de poussée ou de traction des vérins.The free edge of each of the panels 5 and 6 carries a hinge pin 9 for a structure 10, 11 consisting of two perpendicular panels 12, 13 for the structure 10 and 14, 15 for the structure 11. The width of the panels 12 and 14 which are directly articulated around the axis 9 to the panels 5 and 6, is substantially equal to the half-width of the base panel 1, apart from the operating clearances. The width of the panels 13 and 15 is, apart from the operating clearances, equal to the width of the panels 5 and 6 (of the order of 2 meters). Cylinders 16 and 17, similar to cylinders 7 and 8 are arranged in the thickness of the panels 5 and 6 to maneuver the structures 10 and 11 in pivoting around the axes 9. It should also be noted that the articulations of the panels have abutment means not shown which limit their relative deflections to approximately 90 ° and by which they are stopped with respect to each other against the thrust or traction forces of the jacks.

La construction selon l'invention comporte, en plus de cette ossature de base, deux cadres 18, 19, en forme de portiques, qui sont solidaires du panneau de base 1, et perpendiculaires à celui-ci. Le contour extérieur de ces cadres est tel que lorsque l'ossature de base est dans sa position repliée elle est intégralement logée à l'intérieur de ce contour. Les cadres 18, 19 sont donc parallèles et constituent des supports pour deux paires de bras articulés 20 et 21 d'une part et 22 et 23 d'autre part. Chaque bras peut ainsi pivoter dans un plan parallèle à celui des cadres 18 et 19. Les bras 20 et 21 sont donc articulés par l'une de leurs extrémités respectivement aux cadres 18 et 19 et sont reliés entre eux par une poutre 24 s'étendant entre leurs autres extrémités. La poutre 24 est donc parallèle au panneau 1 et, compte-tenu de la position relativement haute de l'axe d'articulation des bras 20 et 21 sur les cadres 18 et 19, cette poutre 24 peut être logée à l'intérieur des cadres 18 et 19 en position basse ou faire saillie au-dessus de ces cadres en position haute. De la même manière, une poutre 25 relie les bras 22 et 23. Sur la figure 1, la poutre 24 est représentée en position basse alors que la poutre 25 est représentée en position haute.The construction according to the invention comprises, in addition to this basic framework, two frames 18, 19, in the form of gantries, which are integral with the basic panel 1, and perpendicular thereto. The external contour of these frames is such that when the basic framework is in its folded position it is fully housed inside this contour. The frames 18, 19 are therefore parallel and constitute supports for two pairs of articulated arms 20 and 21 on the one hand and 22 and 23 on the other hand. Each arm can thus pivot in a plane parallel to that of the frames 18 and 19. The arms 20 and 21 are therefore articulated by one of their ends respectively to the frames 18 and 19 and are connected together by a beam 24 extending between their other ends. The beam 24 is therefore parallel to the panel 1 and, taking into account the relatively high position of the articulation axis of the arms 20 and 21 on the frames 18 and 19, this beam 24 can be housed inside the frames 18 and 19 in the low position or protrude above these frames in the high position. Likewise, a beam 25 connects the arms 22 and 23. In FIG. 1, the beam 24 is shown in the low position while the beam 25 is shown in the high position.

L'actionnement en pivotement des ensembles de bras et poutres est assuré par au moins un moteur hydraulique 26 par ensemble comme cela est représenté à la figure 4. Dans l'exemple décrit, deux ensembles de poutres pivotantes sont mises en oeuvre. L'invention couvre également le cas où une seule poutre serait mise en oeuvre, la longueur des bras pivotants qui la supportent étant calculée de manière qu'en position haute, cette poutre soit située sensiblement dans le plan médian de la construction.The pivoting actuation of the arm and beam assemblies is ensured by at least one hydraulic motor 26 per assembly as shown in FIG. 4. In the example described, two sets of pivoting beams are used. The invention also covers the case where a single beam is used, the length of the pivoting arms which support it being calculated so that in the high position, this beam is located substantially in the median plane of the construction.

La construction selon l'invention comporte également une bâche de couverture 27 qui est fixée au bord libre de chacun des derniers panneaux 13 et 15 de l'ossature de base. Dans un mode de réalisation simple de l'invention, ne mettant pas en oeuvre une ou deux poutres faîtières telles que 24 et 25, la longueur de la bâche 27 est égale à la somme des largeurs des panneaux 1, 5, 6, 12 et 14. Ainsi quand l'ossature de base est dépliée, la bâche 27 est tendue et forme couverture plate de la construction. Cette disposition demande que les panneaux latéraux 13 et 15 soient suffisamment hauts pour que l'espace sous bâche à l'intérieur de la construction soit suffisant. On risque cependant par une telle disposition d'avoir besoin d'un caisson de hauteur sortant des normes admises pour le transport. Les poutres faîtières basculantes 24 et 25 pallient cet inconvénient et, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la bâche 27 est de longueur supérieure à la somme susdite des largeurs si bien que lorsque la construction est déployée, le passage des poutres faîtières de la positon basse à la position haute permet de surélever le centre de la bâche donc de donner de la hauteur au volume intérieur de la construction tout en tendant cette bâche. En outre, on réalise ainsi une couverture à double pente, ce qui est favorable à l'écoulement des eaux de pluie. A titre d'exemple, pour une construction dont on a déjà donné les dimensions, la hauteur sous bâche au centre peut être de l'ordre de 3 mètres à 3,20 mètres.The construction according to the invention also comprises a covering tarpaulin 27 which is fixed to the free edge of each of the last panels 13 and 15 of the base framework. In a simple embodiment of the invention, not using one or two ridge beams such as 24 and 25, the length of the sheet 27 is equal to the sum of the widths of the panels 1, 5, 6, 12 and 14. Thus when the basic framework is unfolded, the cover 27 is stretched and forms a flat cover for the construction. This arrangement requires that the side panels 13 and 15 are high enough for the space under the tarpaulin inside the construction to be sufficient. However, there is a risk of such a provision needing a height box outside of accepted standards for transport. The tilting ridge beams 24 and 25 overcome this drawback and, in the embodiment shown, the sheet 27 is of length greater than the above sum of the widths so well that when the construction is deployed, the passage of the ridge beams from the low position to the high position makes it possible to raise the center of the tarpaulin thus giving height to the interior volume of the construction while stretching this tarpaulin. In addition, a double slope roof is thus produced, which is favorable for the flow of rainwater. For example, for a construction whose dimensions have already been given, the height under the tarpaulin in the center can be of the order of 3 meters to 3.20 meters.

La bâche 27, qui constitue la couverture de la construction, peut être prolongée par des bas-volets comme représenté en 28 sur la figure 1, les bords libres de ces bas-volets étant attelés aux extrémités des panneaux 15, 14, 6, 13, 12 et 5 ainsi qu'au bord des cadres 18 et 19. Ces bas-volets, la construction déployée, constituent les façades de pignons de la construction.The cover 27, which constitutes the cover of the construction, can be extended by low shutters as shown at 28 in FIG. 1, the free edges of these low shutters being coupled to the ends of the panels 15, 14, 6, 13 , 12 and 5 as well as at the edge of the frames 18 and 19. These low shutters, the deployed construction, constitute the gable facades of the construction.

De manière avantageuse, la construction de l'invention possède au-delà de chacun des cadres 18 et 19 des caissons fixes 29 et 30 dont le contour est inscrit à l'intérieur du contour des cadres 18 et 19, le caisson 29 constituant un sas d'entrée à l'intérieur de la construction tandis que le caisson 30 constitue un local technique dans lequel seront logés par exemple un groupe électrogène, un dispositif de chauffage par air pulsé, une centrale de fluide sous pression, et tous les organes de commande électriques ou électroniques nécessaires à la commande du dépliement et du repliement automatique de la construction. Le caisson 29 comporte des ventaux de porte 31, par exemple en glace, et on peut prévoir des panneaux de protection de ces ventaux qui, articulés en partie supérieure et en partie inférieure du caisson 29, pourraient d'une part être rabattus contre ces ventaux et d'autre part, être rabattus pour respectivement constituer un auvent et une rampe d'accès au sas d'entrée.Advantageously, the construction of the invention has, beyond each of the frames 18 and 19, fixed boxes 29 and 30, the outline of which is inscribed inside the outline of the frames 18 and 19, the box 29 constituting an airlock entry inside the building while the box 30 constitutes a technical room in which will be housed for example a generator, a forced air heating device, a pressurized fluid power plant, and all the control members electrical or electronic components necessary to control the unfolding and automatic folding of the construction. The box 29 has door leaves 31, for example in glass, and one can provide protection panels for these leaves which, articulated in the upper and lower part of the box 29, could on the one hand be folded against these leaves and on the other hand, be folded down to respectively constitute an awning and an access ramp to the entrance airlock.

La construction selon l'invention comporte également des pieds escamotables disposés sensiblement aux quatre coins du panneau de base 1. Ces pieds escamotables référencés 32 sur les figures, sont constitués par des vérins dont le corps est porté par des bras 33 articulés aux cadres 18 et 19 autour d'axes verticaux. Ces vérins peuvent ainsi prendre deux positions : une position de rangement dans laquelle ils sont accolés aux caissons 29 et 30 comme illustré par la figure 4 et la partie avant-gauche de la figure 1, et une position de service dans laquelle ils sont éloignés de ces caissons comme représenté à la partie avant-droite de la figure 1 ou en traits pointillés sur la figure 3 dans laquelle ils sont disposés à l'extérieur du volume de la construction dans sa positon repliée. Des vérins 34 assurent le passage des pieds de l'une à l'autre des positions.The construction according to the invention also comprises retractable feet arranged substantially at the four corners of the base panel 1. These retractable feet referenced 32 in the figures, are constituted by jacks whose body is carried by arms 33 articulated to the frames 18 and 19 around vertical axes. These jacks can thus take two positions: a storage position in which they are attached to the boxes 29 and 30 as illustrated in FIG. 4 and the front-left part of FIG. 1, and a service position in which they are distant from these boxes as shown in the front right part of Figure 1 or in dotted lines in Figure 3 in which they are arranged outside the volume of the construction in its folded position. Cylinders 34 ensure the passage of the feet from one to the other of the positions.

La mise en oeuvre la construction de la présente invention s'opère de la manière suivante.The implementation of the construction of the present invention takes place in the following manner.

La construction dans son état replié en forme de caisson est en général disposé sur une plate-forme de transport grâce à laquelle elle est amenée au site d'utilisation. Sur ce site, on met en route la source d'énergie constituée par le groupe électrogène et l'unité de fluide sous pression contenu dans le local technique 30 afin de disposer de l'énergie nécessaire d'une part au débarquement de la structure et d'autre part à son déploiement. En commandant l'actionnement des vérins 34, on fait pivoter les pieds escamotables 32 à l'extérieur de la plate-forme qui soutient la construction en position repliée. On commande ensuite la sortie des tiges de ces vérins. Les pieds sont ainsi déployés, touchent le sol et permettent de soulever l'ensemble pour le décoller de la plate-forme qui le supporte. La plate-forme peut alors être retirée. En purgeant les vérins 32, on descend lentement le caisson jusqu'au sol.The construction in its folded box-shaped state is generally placed on a transport platform by which it is brought to the site of use. On this site, the energy source constituted by the generator and the pressurized fluid unit contained in the technical room 30 is started up in order to have the necessary energy on the one hand for disembarking from the structure and on the other hand to its deployment. By controlling the actuation of the jacks 34, the retractable feet 32 are pivoted outside the platform which supports the construction in the folded position. The output of the rods of these jacks is then controlled. The feet are thus deployed, touch the ground and allow the assembly to be lifted to take it off from the platform that supports it. The platform can then be removed. By purging the jacks 32, the box is slowly lowered to the ground.

La construction est prête à être déployée. Pour ce faire, on commence d'abord par actionner les vérins 7 et 8 qui font basculer les panneaux 5 et 6 et les structures 10 et 11 associées. Lors de ce pivotement qui place les panneaux 5 et 6 à l'horizontale, des pieds 35 forment deux chandelles qui sortent par gravité de leur logement et viennent prendre appui sur le sol. En actionnant ensuite les vérins 16 et 17, on provoque le déploiement des structures 10 et 11, ce qui conduit à placer les petits panneaux 12 et 14 dans le prolongement des panneaux 5 et 6 et les panneaux 13 et 15 dans une position verticale, comme représenté sur la partie de droite de la figure 1. De la même manière des chandelles 35, solidaires des panneaux 12 et 14 prennent leur position de service par gravité pour reposer sur le sol. Le plancher de la construction est alors complètement constitué par le panneau 1, les panneaux 5 et 6 et les panneaux 12 et 14. On dispose alors d'une surface au sol large d'environ 8 mètres pour les dimensions de panneaux données ci-dessus (soit environ 100 mètres carrés).The construction is ready to be deployed. To do this, we first start by actuating the jacks 7 and 8 which tilt the panels 5 and 6 and the associated structures 10 and 11. During this pivoting which places the panels 5 and 6 horizontally, feet 35 form two candles which come out of their housing by gravity and come to bear on the ground. By then actuating the jacks 16 and 17, it causes the deployment of the structures 10 and 11, which leads to placing the small panels 12 and 14 in the extension of the panels 5 and 6 and the panels 13 and 15 in a vertical position, as represented on the right-hand part of FIG. 1. In the same way candles 35, integral with the panels 12 and 14 take their service position by gravity to rest on the ground. The construction floor is then completely constituted by the panel 1, the panels 5 and 6 and the panels 12 and 14. We then have a wide floor area of approximately 8 meters for the dimensions of the panels given above. (about 100 square meters).

On commande ensuite par les moteurs hydrauliques 26 la rotation des ensembles pivotants supportant les poutres faîtières 24 et 25 de manière à les placer dans leur position haute, ce qui permet de tendre la bâche 27 et les bas-volets 28 qui constituent les façades de pignon.The hydraulic motors 26 then control the rotation of the pivoting assemblies supporting the ridge beams 24 and 25 so as to place them in their high position, which makes it possible to tension the sheet 27 and the low shutters 28 which constitute the gable facades. .

Le repliement s'effectue par les manoeuvres inverses et dans l'ordre inverse, c'est-à-dire commençant par le rabattement des poutres faîtières puis le rabattement des structures 10 et 11 sur les panneaux 5 et 6 et enfin le relevage des panneaux 5 et 6 jour refermer le caisson à l'intérieur des cadres 18 et 19. Afin d'éviter des pincements de la bâche 28, avant de procéder au repliement, on aura disposé à l'intérieur de la construction, grâce à des boucles d'attache en attente sur la face interne de la bâche des bas-volets, deux éléments élastiques s'étendant d'une façade de pignon à l'autre de chaque côté des cadres 18 et 19, qui agiront sur la bâche 28 pour la tirer vers l'intérieur de la construction au cours du repliement lorsqu'elle aura perdu sa tension.The folding is done by reverse maneuvers and in reverse order, that is to say starting with the folding of the ridge beams then the folding of the structures 10 and 11 on the panels 5 and 6 and finally the lifting of the panels 5 and 6 day close the box inside the frames 18 and 19. In order to avoid pinching of the sheet 28, before proceeding to the folding, we will have arranged inside the construction, thanks to loops of attachment pending on the internal face of the cover of the low shutters, two elastic elements extending from one gable front to the other on each side of the frames 18 and 19, which will act on the cover 28 to pull it towards the interior of the construction during folding when it has lost its tension.

Pour ce qui concerne la réalisation de la figure 5, sur laquelle on retrouve certains des éléments déjà décrits, on remarquera que chaque cadre 18, 19 forme le support pour un panneau supérieur 40 qui est mobile verticalement entre une position basse dans laquelle il forme le couvercle du caisson (partie gauche de la figure 5) et une position haute dans laquelle il forme la partie faîtière de la couverture de la construction déployée (partie droite de la figure 5). Pour passer de l'une à l'autre de ces positions, la construction possède des vérins 4 qui sont logés dans les montants verticaux des cadres 18 et 19. La couverture de la structure est assurée par deux demi-bâches telles que celle 42 visible sur la figure 5 attelée par deux bords parallèles, respectivement au bord libre de la structure 11 à panneaux perpendiculaires 14 et 15 et au bord longitudinal 40a correspondant du panneau supérieur 4O.With regard to the embodiment of FIG. 5, on which we find some of the elements already described, it will be noted that each frame 18, 19 forms the support for an upper panel 40 which is movable vertically between a low position in which it forms the cover of the box (left part of FIG. 5) and a high position in which it forms the ridge part of the cover of the deployed construction (right part of FIG. 5). To pass from one to the other of these positions, the construction has jacks 4 which are housed in the vertical uprights of the frames 18 and 19. The structure is covered by two half-covers such as that visible 42 in FIG. 5 coupled by two parallel edges, respectively to the free edge of the structure 11 with perpendicular panels 14 and 15 and to the corresponding longitudinal edge 40a of the upper panel 4O.

Par ailleurs, les parois en pignon de cette construction ne sont plus ici constituées par une bâche telle que celle 28 de l'exemple précédent, mais par des panneaux 43 qui sont solidaires de chacune des structures telle que celle 11 à panneaux perpendiculaires, ces panneaux 43 étant articulés au voisinage des bords tels que celui transversal 15a du panneau 15 de manière à pouvoir être rabattu contre le panneau 15 pour le reploiement et dressé perpendiculairement à celui-ci lors du déploiement (comme représenté sur la figure 5).Furthermore, the gable walls of this construction are no longer here constituted by a sheet such as that 28 of the previous example, but by panels 43 which are integral with each of the structures such as that 11 with perpendicular panels, these panels 43 being hinged in the vicinity of the edges such that the transverse 15 a of the panel 15 so as to be folded against the panel 15 for the folding and upright perpendicularly thereto during deployment (as shown in Figure 5).

Dans cette position déployée, le panneau 43 prend appui sur le cadre 18, 19 correspondant et est verrouillé sur une potence 44 également rabattable, qui est solidaire du montant d'angle 15a de la structure (au bord latéral du panneau 15).In this deployed position, the panel 43 is supported on the corresponding frame 18, 19 and is locked on a bracket 44 also foldable, which is integral with the angle post 15a of the structure (at the side edge of the panel 15).

Pour couvrir le fronton en pignon de cette structure, on peut prévoir une bâche flottante découpée à la forme de ce fronton et dont le bord inférieur serait situé sous le bord supérieur du panneau 43. Cette partie de bâche supérieure pourrait être rassemblée, au moment du repliement, à l'extérieur du panneau 4O pour éviter son coincement entre lui et les cadres 18, 19. Pour ce faire, elle serait montée sur la bâche 42 au moyen d'élément coulissant. On peut également prévoir de les rapporter par exemple au moyen de fermetures à glissière.To cover the gable pediment of this structure, it is possible to provide a floating tarpaulin cut to the shape of this pediment and the lower edge of which would be located under the upper edge of the panel 43. This upper tarpaulin portion could be assembled, at the time of folding, to outside the panel 4O to avoid its jamming between it and the frames 18, 19. To do this, it would be mounted on the sheet 42 by means of a sliding element. One can also plan to bring them back for example by means of zippers.
