Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble d'éléments préfabriqués pour la réalisation d'infrastructures sportives et notamment la délimitation de terrains pour la pratique de jeux ou de sports d'équipe ou individuels, ces éléments formant des barrières latérales et des barrières d'extrémité, lesdites barrières comportant une armature métallique sur laquelle sont montés des éléments de garniture.The present invention relates to a set of prefabricated elements for the realization of sports infrastructures and in particular the delimitation of grounds for the practice of games or team or individual sports, these elements forming lateral barriers and end barriers, said barriers comprising a metal frame on which are mounted trim elements.

On connaît déjà des éléments de ce type, constitués par des barrières en bois traité fixées côte à côte pour délimiter une terrain de sport ou une aire de jeu. Ces éléments sont généralement lourds et nécessitent un ancrage direct au sol, notamment pour assurer la stabilité des barrières d'extrémité qui comportent les buts.Elements of this type are already known, consisting of treated wooden barriers fixed side by side to delimit a sports field or a playground. These elements are generally heavy and require direct anchoring to the ground, in particular to ensure stability. end barriers that include the goals.

Les caractéristiques prévues dans le préambule de la revendication 1 se retrouvent dans le document EP-A-0 125 179 qui décrit un court autoportant pour le squash ou un sport similaire. Les parois latérales et d'extrémité du court sont composées de panneaux modulaires en forme de caisson, possédant un fond plat placé vers l'intérieur du court et des rebords d'assemblage pour la fixation des panneaux entre eux. Ces panneaux sont juxtaposés et superposés comme des briques pour former les parois. Pour renforcer et stabiliser ces parois, il est prévu une ossature métallique ayant des traverses disposées sous le plancher du court. Une telle construction est lourde et ne convient pas à des terrains de jeu en plein air.The characteristics provided for in the preamble of claim 1 are found in document EP-A-0 125 179 which describes a self-supporting court for squash or a similar sport. The side and end walls of the court are composed of modular panels in the form of a box, having a flat bottom placed towards the inside of the court and assembly flanges for fixing the panels together. These panels are juxtaposed and superimposed like bricks to form the walls. To reinforce and stabilize these walls, a metal frame is provided with crosspieces arranged under the court floor. Such a construction is cumbersome and not suitable for outdoor playgrounds.

La présente invention se propose de pallier ces inconvénients en réalisant un ensemble composé d'éléments autoportants et stables, sans ancrage ou avec un ancrage léger au sol.The present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by producing an assembly composed of self-supporting and stable elements, without anchoring or with a light anchoring to the ground.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, les barrières latérales comportent un banc. De préférence, le banc est monté sur un support solidaire de ladite armature métallique de la barrière latérale et est constitué par une barre d'appui horizontale, parallèle à la barrière correspondante. D'une façon avantageuse, la barre d'appui est située à une hauteur suffisante par rapport au sol pour constituer un appui pour un spectateur debout.According to a preferred embodiment, the side barriers include a bench. Preferably, the bench is mounted on a support integral with said metal frame of the lateral barrier and is constituted by a horizontal support bar, parallel to the corresponding barrier. Advantageously, the support bar is located at a sufficient height from the ground to constitute a support for a standing spectator.

Les éléments de garniture plans peuvent comporter des panneaux évidés ou des planches disposées horizontalement.The flat trim elements may include hollow panels or boards arranged horizontally.

D'une façon avantageuse, la plate-forme du portique est délimitée par des rampes de protection et ces rampes de protection comportent au moins un support pour la fixation d'accessoires de jeux ou de sports. Ces accessoires peuvent comporter au moins un des éléments suivants: toboggan, cordes à grimper, échelle de corde, anneaux, perches, balançoires. De préférence, le portique comporte au moins une échelle d'accès à la plate-forme et ladite échelle est verticale et sert de support latéral à la plate-forme. Le portique peut comporter deux échelles qui constituent les supports d'extrémité de la plate-forme et définissent les éléments latéraux du portique.Advantageously, the platform of the gantry is delimited by protective ramps and these protective ramps comprise at least one support for the fixing of games or sports accessories.

En référence à la figure 1, le terrain de sport 10 représenté est délimité sur ses côtés par des barrières latérales 11 et 12 et à ses extrémités par des barrières d'extrémité 13.With reference to FIG. 1, the sports field 10 shown is delimited on its sides by lateral barriers 11 and 12 and at its ends by end barriers 13.

Les figures 2 et 3 représentent les barrières d'extrémité 13 qui comprennent un portique 14 et des barrières adjacentes 15 et 16 qui sont sensiblement identiques aux barrières latérales 11 mais qui ont une hauteur supérieure à ces dernières.Figures 2 and 3 show the end barriers 13 which include a gantry 14 and adjacent barriers 15 and 16 which are substantially identical to the side barriers 11 but which have a height greater than the latter.

Le portique 14 est représenté plus en détail par les deux vues en perspective des figures 4 et 5. On notera tout d'abord qu'il comprend une plate-forme 17 ménagée au-dessus du but 18 et protégée par des rampes de protection latérales 19 et 20. Par ailleurs, ce portique comporte deux échelles 21 et 22 disposées de part et d'autre qui permettent l'accès à la plate-forme 17 et qui assurent simultanément la rigidité de l'ensemble et la stabilité du portique qui peut être posé à même le sol sans nécessiter aucun ancrage. Dans certaines réalisations, on peut ne prévoir qu'une seule échelle pour libérer la place à côté du portique en vue du montage d'accessoires. La rampe de protection 20 sert de support à un accessoire tel que par exemple un panier de basket 23 et son équipement annexe. Le portique comprend une armature métallique, par exemple en tube de section circulaire ou polygonale, qui comprend également les échelons 21′ et 22′ des échelles 21 et 22, et des panneaux de revêtement ou d'habillage pleins ou évidés qui peuvent être en bois naturel, par exemple en planches ajourées, en bois synthétique, en matière synthétique moulée, en tôle ou en tout autre matériau approprié. Ces panneaux sont vissés ou rivetés sur l'armature métallique. Cette armature métallique peut supporter divers autres accessoires tels que un toboggan, des cordes à grimper, des échelles de corde, des anneaux ou des balançoires. Sur la face où est ménagé le but 18, le portique comporte deux panneaux de revêtement latéraux 18a et 18b. Sur la face opposée ou face extérieure du portique sont prévues deux ouvertures latérales 18c et 18d, prévues de part et d'autre de l'ouverture centrale correspondant au but 18, qui est habituellement obturé par un filet de but (non représenté). Les deux ouvertures latérales constituent les portes d'accès au terrain et peuvent éventuellement être utilisées pour le contrôle des entrées, en cas de match organisé.The gantry 14 is shown in more detail by the two perspective views of FIGS. 4 and 5. It will first be noted that it comprises a platform 17 arranged above the goal 18 and protected by lateral protection ramps 19 and 20. Furthermore, this gantry comprises two scales 21 and 22 arranged on either side which allow access to the platform 17 and which simultaneously ensure the rigidity of the assembly and the stability of the gantry which can be placed on the ground without requiring any anchoring. In certain embodiments, it is possible to provide only one ladder to free the space next to the gantry for the mounting of accessories. The protective ramp 20 serves as a support for an accessory such as for example a basketball hoop 23 and its ancillary equipment. The gantry includes a metal frame, for example a tube of circular or polygonal cross section, which also includes the steps 21 ′ and 22 ′ of the scales 21 and 22, and solid or hollowed-out covering or covering panels which may be of wood natural, for example in openwork planks, synthetic wood, molded synthetic material, sheet metal or any other suitable material. These panels are screwed or riveted to the metal frame. This metal frame can support various other accessories such as a slide, climbing ropes, rope ladders, rings or swings. On the face where the goal 18 is formed, the gantry comprises two lateral covering panels 18a and 18b. On the opposite face or external face of the gantry are provided two lateral openings 18c and 18d, provided on either side of the central opening corresponding to the goal 18, which is usually closed by a goal net (not shown). The two side openings constitute the access doors to the field and can optionally be used for entry control, in the event of an organized match.

La figure 6 représente une vue en perspective d'une barrière latérale 12 qui comporte une armature métallique 12a et un panneau de revêtement 12b. L'armature métallique 12a est de préférence réalisée au moyen d'un tube coudé en forme de U renversé. Le panneau de revêtement 12b est de préférence identique à ceux décrits en référence aux figures 4 et 5 pour répondre aux exigences d'esthétique et de sécurité. Les deux montants verticaux 12c et 12d de l'armature métallique comportent des pattes 30 agencées pour permettre la liaison des différents éléments, et notamment des barrières latérales.FIG. 6 represents a perspective view of a lateral barrier 12 which includes a metal frame 12a and a covering panel 12b. The metal frame 12a is preferably made by means of a bent tube in the shape of an inverted U. The covering panel 12b is preferably identical to those described with reference to Figures 4 and 5 to meet the requirements of aesthetics and safety. The two vertical uprights 12c and 12d of the metal frame have tabs 30 arranged to allow the connection of the various elements, and in particular lateral barriers.

La figure 7 illustre une première forme de réalisation d'une barrière latérale 11 associée à une barre d'appui horizontale 31 parallèle à cette barrière. Cette barrière 11 comporte une armature métallique 11a qui comprend tous les éléments de l'armature métallique 12a de la barrière latérale 12 mais qui se prolonge à son extrémité inférieure par deux supports coudés 32 sur lesquels est fixée la barre d'appui horizontale 31. Cette barre d'appui horizontale est avantageusement disposée à une hauteur supérieure à celle d'un banc ou d'une chaise mais suffisante pour permettre à un spectateur de s'appuyer sur cette barre en se tenant éventuellement au tronçon horizontal supérieur de l'armature métallique 11a. Comme précédemment cette armature métallique reçoit un ou plusieurs panneaux de revêtement 11b sensiblement identiques aux panneaux 12b. Par ailleurs des pattes de liaison 30 sont également prévues sur les montants verticaux de l'armature métallique 11a et sont de préférence soudées à ces montants.FIG. 7 illustrates a first embodiment of a lateral barrier 11 associated with a horizontal support bar 31 parallel to this barrier. This barrier 11 comprises a metal frame 11a which includes all the elements of the metal frame 12a of the side barrier 12 but which is extended at its lower end by two bent supports 32 on which is fixed the horizontal support bar 31. This horizontal grab bar is advantageously arranged at a height greater than that of a bench or chair but sufficient to allow a spectator to lean on this bar while possibly holding on to the upper horizontal section of the metal frame 11a. As before, this metal frame receives one or more covering panels 11b substantially identical to the panels 12b. Furthermore, connecting lugs 30 are also provided on the vertical uprights of the metal frame 11a and are preferably welded to these uprights.

La figure 8 illustre une autre forme de réalisation d'une barrière latérale 11′ qui diffère de la précédente par le fait que la barre d'appui horizontale 31 est remplacée par un banc 31′ monté sur deux supports coudés solidaires des extrémités inférieures des tronçons verticaux de l'armature métallique 11′a de la barrière latérale 11′. Le panneau de revêtement 11′b est identique au panneau 11b et les pattes de liaison 30 sont également identiques à celles décrites précédemment.FIG. 8 illustrates another embodiment of a lateral barrier 11 ′ which differs from the previous one in that the horizontal support bar 31 is replaced by a bench 31 ′ mounted on two bent supports integral with the lower ends of the sections vertical of the metal frame 11′a of the side barrier 11 ′. The covering panel 11′b is identical to the panel 11b and the connecting tabs 30 are also identical to those described above.

La figure 9 illustre une vue en perspective partielle représentant le mode de liaison des différentes barrières entre elles et notamment celui des barrières latérales. Les pattes 30 d'une armature métallique 11a d'une barrière 11 sont juxtaposées à celles d'une armature métallique 11′a d'une barrière latérale 11′ et vissées ensemble au moyen d'une vis 40, de préférence associée à un écrou (non représenté) pour permettre un démontage de l'ensemble. Il est bien entendu que cette forme de couplage des barrières n'est pas unique et pourrait être remplacée par toute autre construction permettant d'atteindre le même objectif.FIG. 9 illustrates a partial perspective view showing the mode of connection of the various barriers to each other and in particular that of the lateral barriers. The legs 30 of a metal frame 11a of a barrier 11 are juxtaposed with those of a metal frame 11′a of a side barrier 11 ′ and screwed together by means of a screw 40, preferably associated with a nut (not shown) to allow disassembly of the assembly.
