Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'attache pour objets de grande longueur, destiné notamment à la présentation des barres porte-tout dans les rayonnages de magasins.The invention relates to a fastening device for objects of great length, intended in particular for presentation of the all-purpose bars in the shelves of stores.

Les objets de grande longueur ou barres, en particulier les barres porte-tout, destinées à être montées sur des véhicules automobiles pour servir de porte-bagages ou de porte-skis, sont souvent destinées à être vendues par jeux, un jeu de barres constituant un ensemble de barres pouvant comporter deux barres ou plus.Long objects or bars, in particular all-purpose bars, intended to be mounted on motor vehicles to serve as luggage carriers or ski racks, are often intended to be sold by sets, a busbar constituting a set of bars may have two or more bars.

Les moyens destinés à associer ces barres de façon à constituer des jeux et les moyens de présenter ces jeux sont bien connus sur le marché.The means intended to associate these bars so as to constitute games and the means to present these games are well known in the market.

Un premier moyen consiste à assembler les barres par des élastiques, par leurs étiquettes de références en forme de bandes, ou par des clips, et à disposer ces barres à l'horizontal sur les étagères, éventuellement inclinées, ou équivalents des rayonnages de magasins.A first way is to assemble the bars by elastics, by their reference labels in in the form of bands, or by clips, and to arrange these horizontal bars on shelves, possibly inclined, or equivalent of store shelves.

Un deuxième moyen consiste à emballer les barres dans des boítes en carton et à disposer les cartons à l'horizontale ou à la verticale.A second way is to wrap the bars in cardboard boxes and arrange the boxes to horizontally or vertically.

Le rayonnage à l'horizontale traditionnel comporte de nombreux inconvénients: les 50 cm du bas du rayonnage sont peu utilisables, la disposition en étagères nécessite de concevoir un espace suffisant entre celles-ci pour choisir et extraire les jeux de barres. La lisibilité des étiquettes varie en fonction des étages. The traditional horizontal shelving includes many disadvantages: the 50 cm at the bottom of the shelving are not very usable, the arrangement in shelves requires design enough space between them to choose and extract the busbars. The readability of labels vary by floor.

Les emballages en carton permettent une disposition à la verticale, mais ces emballages sont chers, posent des problèmes de recyclage et s'abíment au fur et à mesure des manipulations.Cardboard packaging allows a disposition to vertically, but these packages are expensive, pose recycling problems and get damaged over time manipulations.

D'autre part on observe que le consommateur aime voir et toucher le produit qu'il a l'intention d'acquérir et ces emballages sont mal adaptés à ce comportement.On the other hand, we observe that the consumer likes to see and touch the product he intends to acquire and these packages are ill-suited to this behavior.

L'invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant notamment un dispositif d'attache des barres entre elles, économique et qui permette la disposition verticale sur des rayonnages adaptés.The object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks above by proposing in particular a fastening device bars between them, economical and which allows the vertical arrangement on suitable shelving.

L'invention se réfère donc à un dispositif d'attache, spécifiquement adapté à la présentation à la verticale des barres porte-tout pour véhicules automobiles, se présentant pour paires au par jeux, du type comprenant un élément de fixation desdites barres entre elles, cet élément. comportant des bras assemblés par paires aux extrémités d'une region centrale.The invention therefore refers to a fastening device, specifically adapted to the vertical presentation of all-purpose bars for motor vehicles, appearing for pairs in by games, of the type comprising an element for fixing said bars together, this item. comprising arms assembled in pairs at the ends of a central region.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'élément d'attache des barres entre elles comporte quatre bras identiques, assemblés par paires aux extrémités d'une région centrale, de telle manière que:

  • l'axe principal de la région centrale est orthogonal à l'axe principal de la languette, en position dite " d'utilisation " de ladite languette.
  • une première paire de bras, à une première extrémité de la région centrale, a un axe principal commun aux deux bras, orthogonal à l'axe principal de ladite région centrale, les régions d'extrémité desdits bras ayant des directions opposées sur cet axe principal commun,
  • une deuxième paire de bras, à une deuxième extrémité de la région centrale, a un axe principal commun aux deux bras, orthogonal à l'axe principal de ladite région centrale, les régions d'extrémité desdits bras ayant des directions opposées sur cet axe principal commun, ce dernier axe étant parallèle à l'axe principal commun de la première paire de bras, la distance entre ces deux axes parallèles étant déterminée par la distance, sur l'axe principal de la région centrale, entre les deux extrémités de ladite région centrale de l'élément d'attache.
According to a preferred embodiment, the element for attaching the bars to each other comprises four identical arms, assembled in pairs at the ends of a central region, in such a way that:
  • the main axis of the central region is orthogonal to the main axis of the tongue, in the so-called "use" position of said tongue.
  • a first pair of arms, at a first end of the central region, has a main axis common to the two arms, orthogonal to the main axis of said central region, the end regions of said arms having opposite directions on this main axis common,
  • a second pair of arms, at a second end of the central region, has a main axis common to the two arms, orthogonal to the main axis of said central region, the end regions of said arms having opposite directions on this main axis common, this last axis being parallel to the common main axis of the first pair of arms, the distance between these two parallel axes being determined by the distance, on the main axis of the central region, between the two ends of said region center of the fastener.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation préférentiel, la languette est montée mobile en rotation sur l'élément d'attache.According to another preferred embodiment, the tongue is rotatably mounted on the element of attachment.

De préférence, le moyen d'accrochage est un oeilleton.Preferably, the attachment means is an eyecup.

Selon l'invention, les barres sont attachées entre elles ou accrochées par au moins un tel dispositif d'attache.According to the invention, the bars are attached between them or hooked by at least one such device of attachment.

Toujours selon l'invention, un rayonnage pour des barres attachées par de tels dispositifs d'attache comporte un fond dans un plan vertical et au moins une rangée horizontale de broches, parallèles entre elles, d'une section adaptée à l'oeilleton du dispositif d'attache, lesquelles broches sont montées sur le fond vertical, dans une direction quasi-orthogonale à ce fond, leur longueur dans cette direction permettant d'accrocher plusieurs barres sur une même broche, et lesquelles broches sont espacées entre elles, selon l'horizontale, de telle manière que la distance entre deux jeux de barres, accrochés sur deux broches contigües d'une même rangée soit inférieure à 5 cm.Still according to the invention, shelving for bars attached by such fastening devices has a bottom in a vertical plane and at least one horizontal row of pins, parallel to each other, a section adapted to the eyecup of the device which pins are mounted on the bottom vertical, in a direction almost orthogonal to this background, their length in this direction allowing to hang several bars on the same spindle, and which pins are spaced from each other, horizontally, by such that the distance between two busbars, hung on two contiguous pins in the same row is less than 5 cm.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description ci-après des dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face illustrant le principe du dispositif d'attache selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de gauche de la figure 1.
  • la figure 3 est une vue de face d'un rayonnage selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description below of the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating the principle of the fastening device according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a left view of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of a rack according to the invention.

Le dispositif d'attache conforme à l'invention et tel qu'illustré, à titre d'exemple, sur les figures 1 à 3 est spécifiquement destiné à l'assemblage de barres, et en particulier de barres porte-tout utilisées sur les véhicules automobiles, notamment pour leur transport et leur présentation sur les rayonnages de magasins.The attachment device according to the invention and such that illustrated, by way of example, in FIGS. 1 to 3 is specifically intended for the assembly of bars, and particular of all-purpose bars used on motor vehicles, in particular for their transport and their presentation on store shelves.

Les barres porte-tout connues sur le marché sont des barres de section ovale de dimensions 38x20 mm ou des barres de section rectangulaire de dimensions 30x20 mm.The carrier bars known on the market are bars of oval section with dimensions 38x20 mm or bars of rectangular section of dimensions 30x20 mm.

Pour répondre à de telles caractéristiques, le dispositif d'attache selon l'invention est formé d'une languette 1 destinée à l'accrochage et d'un élément d'attache 2 destiné à l'assemblage des barres. To meet such characteristics, the fastening device according to the invention is formed of a tongue 1 intended for attachment and an element attachment 2 intended for the assembly of the bars.

La languette comporte une patte principale 1.2. Un oeilleton 1.3 prolonge une première région d'extrémité de cette patte principale 1.2. Une patte de marquage 1.4, pouvant porter des références, est disposée dans l'axe de la patte principale 1.2, à l'opposée de cette dernière sur l'oeilleton 1.3. La deuxième région d'extrémité de cette patte principale est prolongée par l'élément d'attache 2.The tongue has a main tab 1.2. A eyepiece 1.3 extends a first end region of this main leg 1.2. A 1.4 marking tab, can carry references, is arranged in the axis of the main tab 1.2, opposite the latter on the eyecup 1.3. The second end region of this main tab is extended by the fastening element 2.

Dans la suite de la description, les directions verticales et horizontales sont déterminées par rapport à une position du dispositif d'attache dans laquelle celui-ci est suspendu par son oeilleton 1.3, et dans laquelle l'élément d'attache 2 se trouve donc sous la languette 1. L'épaisseur, appelée aussi profondeur, est définie comme une direction orthogonale à la direction verticale et correspond à la direction dans laquelle la dimension de la patte principale 1.2 de la languette 1 est la plus faible.In the following description, the directions vertical and horizontal are determined with respect to a position of the fastening device in which the latter is suspended by its eyecup 1.3, and in which the attachment element 2 is therefore located under the tongue 1. Thickness, also called depth, is defined as a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and corresponds to the direction in which the dimension of the main tab 1.2 of tongue 1 is the weakest.

Dans la première région d'extrémité de la patte principale 1.2 de la languette 1, un oeilleton 1.3 de forme triangulaire est prévu pour y insérer une broche 4.2 montée fixe sur une paroi 4.1 d'un rayonnage 4.In the first end region of the leg main 1.2 of tab 1, an eyecup 1.3 of triangular shape is provided to insert a pin 4.2 fixed mounting on a wall 4.1 of shelving 4.

Une telle broche 4.2 est en général en forme de " U ", la section d'une branche du " U " étant circulaire d'environ 4 mm de diamètre, ou cylindrique de section circulaire d'environ 20 mm de diamètre.Such a pin 4.2 is generally in the shape of a "U", the section of a branch of the "U" being circular about 4 mm in diameter, or cylindrical in section circular about 20 mm in diameter.

L'oeilleton 1.3 a la forme d'un triangle dont les coins sont arrondis, deux des trois angles du triangle étant situés sur une horizontale, le troisième angle étant sous cette horizontale. Le rayon de courbure des angles est adapté à la section d'une branche de " U " de ladite broche 4.2, la distance entre les deux angles du côté horizontal du triangle étant adaptée à la distance entre les deux branches de " U ", de façon à pouvoir insérer une telle broche 4.2 dans l'oeilleton 1.3.The eyepiece 1.3 has the shape of a triangle whose corners are rounded, two of the three angles of the triangle being located on a horizontal, the third angle being under this horizontal. The radius of curvature of the angles is adapted to the section of a branch of "U" of said pin 4.2, the distance between the two angles on the side horizontal of the triangle being adapted to the distance between the two branches of "U", so that you can insert a such pin 4.2 in the eyepiece 1.3.

La forme en triangle permet aussi d'insérer une broche 4.2 cylindrique. Pour améliorer le dispositif, le côté horizontal du triangle comporte, sur une portion centrale de sa longueur, une courbure orientée vers l'intérieur du triangle et l'angle inférieur, arrondi lui aussi, comporte la même courbure adaptée au diamètre d'une section de broche cylindrique, de façon à pouvoir insérer une telle broche 4.2 dans l'oeilleton 1.3.The triangle shape also allows you to insert a pin 4.2 cylindrical. To improve the device, the side horizontal of the triangle has, on a central portion of its length, a curvature oriented towards the inside of the triangle and the lower corner, also rounded, has the same curvature adapted to the diameter of a section of cylindrical spindle, so that you can insert such a pin 4.2 in the eyecup 1.3.

Dans la deuxième région d'extrémité de la patte principale 1.2 de la languette 1, un élément d'attache 2 est disposé dans le prolongement de ladite patte principale 1.2.In the second leg end region main 1.2 of the tongue 1, a fastening element 2 is arranged in the extension of said leg main 1.2.

L'élément d'attache 2 comporte quatre bras 2.1 identiques et une région centrale 2.3. Le région d'extrémité de ladite patte principale 1.2 est assemblée à une première extrémité de la région centrale 2.3 d'où partent deux des quatre bras 2.1The fastening element 2 has four arms 2.1 identical and a central region 2.3. The region end of said main leg 1.2 is assembled to a first end of the central region 2.3 hence leave two of the four arms 2.1

Cette première paire de bras 2.1 est disposée à cette première extrémité de la région centrale 2.3 selon un axe principal commun aux deux bras 2.1, orthogonal à l'axe principal de ladite région centrale 2.3, les régions d'extrémités 2.2 libres desdits bras 2.1 ayant des directions opposées sur cet axe principal commun,This first pair of arms 2.1 is arranged at this first end of the central region 2.3 along an axis main common to both arms 2.1, orthogonal to the axis principal of said central region 2.3, the regions 2.2 free ends of said arms 2.1 having opposite directions on this common main axis,

Un bras 2.1 de la première paire et un bras 2.1 de la seconde paire situés d'un même côté d'un plan de symétrie contenant l'axe principal et une direction d'épaisseur de la languette 1, forment avec la portion de la région centrale 2.3 qui les relie un " U ".An arm 2.1 of the first pair and an arm 2.1 of the second pair located on the same side of a plane of symmetry containing the main axis and a thickness direction of tab 1, form with the portion of the region central 2.3 which connects them a "U".

Avantageusement, chaque bras comporte:

  • une butée d'arrêt 2.2 dans sa région d'extrémité libre, qui est aussi une extrémité de branche dudit " U ",
  • des nervures sur sa face orientée vers le bras de l'autre paire, qui est aussi l'autre branche dudit " U ".
Advantageously, each arm comprises:
  • a stopper 2.2 in its free end region, which is also a branch end of said "U",
  • ribs on its face oriented towards the arm of the other pair, which is also the other branch of said "U".

La forme de la paroi de la région centrale 2.3, qui est aussi la base du " U ", est adaptée à des barres de section rectangulaire de dimensions 20x30 mm comme à des barres de section ovale de dimension 20x38 mm.The shape of the wall of the central region 2.3, which is also the base of the "U", is adapted to bars of rectangular section with dimensions 20x30 mm as at 20x38 mm oval section bars.

Des perforations 2.6 sont prévues dans la région centrale 2.3 de l'élément d'attache 2, pour y insérer l'outillage de montage des barres, par exemple un tournevis, une clé Allen, etc. 2.6 holes are planned in the region center 2.3 of the fastening element 2, to insert there the tool for mounting the bars, for example a screwdriver, Allen key, etc.

Dans la deuxième région d'extrémité de la patte principale 1.2, une région amincie 1.1, constituée d'une rainure, procure une liberté de rotation selon un angle α, dans un premier secteur d'environ 90° et selon un angle β dans un deuxième secteur d'environ 90°, le deuxième secteur étant disposé symétriquement au premier secteur par rapport au plan de symétrie, orthogonal à l'épaisseur, de la languette du dispositif d'attache. Le premier secteur, dit aussi secteur de l'angle α, est adossé à la face de la patte principale 1.2 contenant ladite rainure, le deuxième secteur, dit aussi secteur de l'angle β, est adossé à l'autre face.In the second leg end region main 1.2, a thinned region 1.1, consisting of a groove, provides freedom of rotation at an angle α, in a first sector of approximately 90 ° and at an angle β in a second sector of approximately 90 °, the second sector being arranged symmetrically to the first sector with respect to the plane of symmetry, orthogonal to the thickness, of the tongue of the fastening device. The first sector, also known as sector of angle α, is attached to the face of the main tab 1.2 containing said groove, the second sector, also called sector of the angle β, is against the other side.

La rainure est disposée selon une bande orthogonale, d'une part à l'épaisseur et d'autre part à l'axe principal de la languette 1. Un autre mode de réalisation pourrait prévoir une ou plusieurs rainures 1.1 sur chaque face de la languette 1 sans que l'objet de l'invention s'en trouve modifié. Pour la suite, nous considérons que la région amincie 1.1 est constituée d'une seule rainure sur une seule face de la patte principale 1.2 de la languette 1.The groove is arranged in an orthogonal strip, on the one hand to the thickness and on the other hand to the main axis of the tongue 1. Another embodiment could provide one or more grooves 1.1 on each face of the tongue 1 without the object of the invention being found amended. For the rest, we consider that the region thinned 1.1 consists of a single groove on a single side of main tab 1.2 of tongue 1.

Un angle α ou β de 0° correspond à une position dite " naturelle ", dans laquelle la région amincie 1.1 n'est soumise à aucun effort de cisaillement. C'est la position représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, dans laquelle l'élément d'attache 2 est à la verticale, ce qui correspond à une position horizontale des barres 3 assemblées par le dispositif d'attache.An angle α or β of 0 ° corresponds to a so-called position "natural", in which the thinned region 1.1 is not subject to no shear stress. This is the position shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which the fastening element 2 is vertical, which corresponds to a horizontal position of the bars 3 assembled by the fastening device.

Un angle α de 90° correspond à une position dite " d'utilisation " dans laquelle la région amincie 1.1 est soumise à de faibles efforts de cisaillement: une disposition selon α referme la région amincie 1.1. C'est la position représentée sur la figure 3, dans laquelle l'élément d'attache 2 est à l'horizontale ce qui correspond à une position verticale des barres 3 assemblées par le dispositif d'attache.An angle α of 90 ° corresponds to a so-called position "use" in which the thinned region 1.1 is subject to low shear forces: a arrangement according to α closes the thinned region 1.1. It is the position shown in Figure 3, in which the fastening element 2 is horizontal which corresponds to a vertical position of the bars 3 assembled by the fastening device.

Un angle β de 90° correspond à une position dite " de cisaillement " dans laquelle la région amincie 1.1 est soumise à de forts efforts de cisaillement: une disposition selon β distend la région amincie 1.1. La languette 1 peut ainsi être détachée de l'élément d'attache 2.An angle β of 90 ° corresponds to a position called "of shear "in which the thinned region 1.1 is subject to strong shear forces: a arrangement according to β distends the thinned region 1.1. The tongue 1 can thus be detached from the element attachment 2.

Le dispositif d'attache 2 est réalisé en plastique, moulé d'une seule pièce. Dans une forme de réalisation intéressante, les bras 2.1 et la région centrale 2.3 comportent, en autres parties du dispositif d'attache, des rainures 2.5, dont l'objet est de diminuer la masse de matière nécessaire à la fabrication dudit dispositif.The fastening device 2 is made of plastic, molded in one piece. In one embodiment interesting, the arms 2.1 and the central region 2.3 include, in other parts of the attachment device, grooves 2.5, the purpose of which is to decrease the mass of material necessary for the manufacture of said device.

Pour résoudre le problème technique de la présentation des barres dans les rayonnages de magasins, l'invention comporte aussi un rayonnage 4 spécifiquement adapté au dispositif d'attache.To solve the technical problem of presentation bars in store shelves, the invention also includes shelving 4 specifically adapted to fastening device.

Ce rayonnage linéaire 4 comporte un fond vertical 4.1 de 133 cm de large, sur lequel sont montées des broches 4.2 en une rangée horizontale, les broches 4.2 étant régulièrement espacées entre elles de façon à constituer une rangée d'au moins 11 broches. Cette rangée est à environ 190 cm du sol, pour que les étiquettes des barres qui y sont accrochées soient lisibles à hauteur des yeux. L'espace entre deux ensembles de barres accrochés sur des broches contigües est inférieur à 5 cm.This linear shelving 4 has a vertical bottom 4.1 133 cm wide, on which pins are mounted 4.2 in a horizontal row, the pins 4.2 being regularly spaced apart so as to constitute a row of at least 11 pins. This row is at about 190 cm from the ground, so that the bar labels hanging on it are legible at eye level. The space between two sets of bars hung on contiguous pins is less than 5 cm.

Eventuellement, dans sa partie basse, peu visible, ce rayonnage 4 comporte des tiroirs, des étagères, des équerres ou un équivalent 4.3 de façon à pouvoir y stocker des barres 3 à l'horizontale. Les barres faisant généralement environ 120 cm dans leur position " rangée ", on dispose d'environ 3 étages dans les 70 cm de la partie basse du rayonnage pour une disposition horizontale.Possibly, in its lower part, hardly visible, this shelving 4 includes drawers, shelves, brackets or an equivalent 4.3 so that it can be stored there bars 3 horizontally. Bars making generally about 120 cm in their "stowed" position, we have about 3 floors within 70 cm of the part low shelving for a horizontal arrangement.

Les barres 3 sont clippées à leur extrémité entre les bras 2.1 du dispositif d'attache qui possède une élasticité suffisante pour maintenir les barres par pincement. L'effet de cliquet apporté par la butée d'arrêt 2.2 des bras 2.1 complète avantageusement le pincement pour maintenir les barres. La languette 1 est tournée selon l'angle α de 90° par rapport à l'élément d'attache 2, de façon à mettre ladite languette en position parallèle aux barres 3. L'ensemble dispositif d'attache 1, 2 et barres 3 est accroché à une broche 4.2 du rayonnage par l'oeilleton 1.3 du dispositif d'attache.Bars 3 are clipped at their ends between the arm 2.1 of the fastening device which has a sufficient elasticity to hold the bars together pinching. The ratchet effect provided by the stopper 2.2 of the arms 2.1 advantageously completes the pinching to hold the bars. Tab 1 is turned at an angle α of 90 ° to the attachment element 2, so as to put said tongue in position parallel to the bars 3. The attachment device assembly 1, 2 and bars 3 is hung on a pin 4.2 of the shelving by the eyecup 1.3 of the attachment device.

Alors que l'on présentait dans les anciens rayonnages de 133 cm à présentation horizontale moins de 32 paires de barres selon moins de 8 références, les rayonnages à présentation verticale, selon l'invention, permettent d'offrir sur un linéaire de 133 cm de large, au moins 60 paires de barres, déclinées en au moins 14 références.While we were presenting in the old shelves of 133 cm with horizontal presentation less than 32 pairs of bars according to less than 8 references, the shelves vertical presentation, according to the invention, allow offer on a linear of 133 cm wide, at least 60 pairs of bars, available in at least 14 references.
