Abstract

The bar is basically rectangular in cross-section with top and bottom edges (7, 8) which act as supporting surfaces for at least one panel, eg. a pane of glass (3, 4), and two sides (5, 6) with lengthwise grooves (16-19) designed to remove water. The distance from the bottom of the grooves to the adjacent thrust surface on one side of the bar is greater than the corresponding distance on the other, giving an asymmetry about a lengthwise plane parallel to the two supporting surfaces and a symmetry about a plane perpendicular to those surfaces. Each of the supporting surfaces is divided into two sections by a central lengthwise channel (9, 10) which is able to receive and cooperate with the panel fixings (11-13). The bar can be made from metal tubing subjected to folding and plastic deformation, or from two folded strips joined together by welding. <IMAGE>

Plus particulièrement, les profilés de l'invention sont réalisés à partir de métal extrudé, ou de métal en feuille pliée et/ou soudée, pour réaliser des profilés longiformes du type notamment comprenant au moins une surface d'appui apte à recevoir directement ou indirectement un ou plusieurs panneaux en verre ou autre.More particularly, the profiles of the invention are made from metal extruded, or from sheet metal folded and / or welded, to produce profiles longiforms of the type in particular comprising at least one bearing surface suitable for directly or indirectly receiving one or more panels in glass or whatever.

On connaít déjà, notamment par CA-A-1 208 872, des profilés de ce type, de forme générale quadrangulaire, comportant deux flancs, respectivement supérieur et inférieur, aptes à former chacun une surface d'appui pour au moins un panneau, deux flancs latéraux parallèles et au moins une rainure longitudinale prévue sur chaque flanc latéral, à proximité respective de chaque surface d'appui. Chaque surface d'appui est séparée en deux parties par un évidemment apte à recevoir des moyens de solidarisation des panneaux sur le profilé.We already know, including CA-A-1 208 872, profiles of this type, general quadrangular shape, with two sides, respectively upper and lower, each capable of forming a bearing surface for the at least one panel, two parallel lateral sides and at least one groove longitudinal provided on each lateral flank, in the respective vicinity of each support surface. Each support surface is separated into two parts by an obviously suitable for receiving means for securing the panels on the profile.

On connaít également, par US 4745 723, un dispositif permettant de soutenir et solidariser des panneaux de vitrage par l'intermédiaire de pièces symétriques.We also know, from US 4,745,723, a device for supporting and securing glazing panels by means of symmetrical parts.

Parmi les nombreuses contraintes et conditions que doivent satisfaire ces profilés, on retient plus particulièrement la commodité et facilité de mise en place, le coût faible de fabrication, la rigidité et fiabilité, et l'aptitude à recueillir et évacuer les eaux résultant des fuites éventuelles à la jonction entre les panneaux et les profilés. Among the many constraints and conditions that these profiles, we particularly note the convenience and ease of installation space, low manufacturing cost, rigidity and reliability, and the ability to collect and evacuate the water resulting from any leaks at the junction between the panels and profiles.

Les profilés connus sont en général aptes à répondre à la majorité, voire la quasi-totalité des contraintes.Known profiles are generally able to meet the majority, if not almost all of the constraints.

Cependant, ceci n'est obtenu qu'au prix d'un certain compromis, puisque ces contraintes et conditions sont contradictoires.However, this is only achieved at the cost of a certain compromise, since these constraints and conditions are contradictory.

Ainsi, par exemple, la possibilité de recueillir et évacuer les eaux de ruissellement suppose une forme de réalisation relativement complexe, notamment au niveau de la jonction de deux profilés perpendiculaires. Les formes respectives des profilés, notamment des rainures formant gouttière prévues sur les profilés, doivent être adaptées pour permettre l'écoulement des eaux d'un profilé dans le profilé perpendiculaire.So, for example, the ability to collect and discharging runoff involves a form of relatively complex achievement, especially in terms of the junction of two perpendicular profiles. Shapes respective profiles, in particular grooves forming gutter provided on the profiles, must be adapted to allow the flow of water from a profile in the perpendicular profile.

Les profilés connus ne donnent pas entièrement satisfaction à cet égard et sont susceptibles de perfectionnement.Known profiles do not give entirely satisfaction in this regard and are likely to improvement.

L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un profilé métallique du type mentionné ci-dessus, et permettant un écoulement de l'eau de ruissellement d'un profilé dans un autre profilé perpendiculaire, dans des conditions aisées de mise en place et à un coût de fabrication réduit.The object of the present invention is to provide a metal profile of the type mentioned above, and allowing a flow of runoff water from a profile in another perpendicular profile, in easy installation conditions and at a cost of reduced manufacturing.

A cette fin, selon l'invention, le profilé métallique allongé, de forme générale quadrangulaire, du type comportant deux flancs respectivement supérieur et inférieur, aptes à former chacun une surface d'appui pour au moins un panneau (tel qu'une vitre), deux flancs latéraux parallèles, et au moins deux rainures longitudinales prévues sur les flancs latéraux à proximité respective de chaque surface d'appui, chaque rainure étant conformée de manière à réaliser une gouttière d'écoulement d'eau, est caractérisé en ce que la distance entre le fond d'une des rainures et la surface d'appui la plus proche, est plus grande que la distance correspondante et séparant le fond de l'autre rainure de l'autre surface d'appui, conformément à la revendication 1.To this end, according to the invention, the metal profile elongated, generally quadrangular in shape, of the type comprising two sides respectively upper and lower, each capable of forming a bearing surface for at least one panel (such as glass), two sides parallel sides, and at least two grooves longitudinal provided on the lateral flanks respective proximity of each bearing surface, each groove being shaped so as to achieve a water drain gutter, is characterized in that the distance between the bottom of one of the grooves and the nearest bearing surface, is larger than the corresponding distance and separating the bottom from the other groove of the other bearing surface, in accordance with the claim 1.

Il en résulte que le profilé de l'invention présente une dissymétrie par rapport à un plan longitudinal parallèle aux surfaces d'appui.It follows that the profile of the invention has a asymmetry with respect to a parallel longitudinal plane to the bearing surfaces.

Un premier profilé étant installé, un second profilé perpendiculaire à celui-ci sera disposé de manière que la rainure formant gouttière correspondante ait un fond situé au-dessus du fond de la rainure du premier profilé, afin que l'eau puisse d'écouler du second profilé dans le premier.A first profile being installed, a second profile perpendicular to it will be arranged so that the groove forming corresponding gutter has a bottom located above the bottom of the groove of the first profile, so that water can flow from the second profile into the first.

Ainsi, un seul et même profilé, par simple retournement, peut être utilisé pour réaliser un agencement de deux profilés perpendiculaires.Thus, one and the same profile, by simple turning, can be used to make an arrangement of two perpendicular profiles.

Il en résulte un coût réduit de fabrication et une simplification de mise en place et de conception appréciable.This results in a reduced manufacturing cost and a simplification of installation and design appreciable.

Selon une variante, la surface d'appui est séparée en deux parties par un évidement apte à recevoir des moyens de solidarisation des panneaux sur le profilé.Alternatively, the bearing surface is separated into two parts by a recess capable of receiving means for joining the panels to the profile.

Avantageusement, le profilé présente un axe de symétrie selon un plan longitudinal transversal aux surfaces d'appui, et plus précisément le profilé comporte deux rainures disposées à proximité d'une première surface d'appui et deux rainures disposées à proximité de l'autre surface d'appui, chaque jeu de deux rainures étant disposés sur les plans latéraux respectifs. Advantageously, the profile has an axis of symmetry along a longitudinal plane transverse to the surfaces more specifically, the profile has two grooves arranged near a first surface support and two grooves arranged close to each other bearing surface, each set of two grooves being arranged on the respective lateral planes.

Le profilé peut être réalisé en une seule pièce par déformation et pliage d'un tube métallique, ou par pliage et déformation plastique de deux bandes métalliques et assemblées bord à bord, par soudage par exemple, pour former le profilé.The profile can be made in one piece by deformation and bending of a metal tube, or by bending and plastic deformation of two metal strips and joined edge to edge, for example by welding, form the profile.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lumière de la description qui suit, se rapportant à un exemple illustratif mais non limitatif de l'invention, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe transversale d'un profilé associé à deux panneaux et profilé perpendiculaire ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale du profilé de l'invention ; et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective partielle d'un agencement de deux profilés perpendiculaires conformes à l'invention.
The invention will be clearly understood in the light of the description which follows, relating to an illustrative but nonlimiting example of the invention, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a profile associated with two panels and perpendicular profile;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the profile of the invention; and
  • Figure 3 is a partial perspective view of an arrangement of two perpendicular sections according to the invention.

En référence à la figure 1, il est représenté en coupe un agencement d'un premier profilé 1 et d'un second profilé 2 perpendiculaires, et sur lesquels sont posés et fixés des panneaux, tels que des vitres ou analogues portant les références 3 et 4.Referring to Figure 1, there is shown in section a arrangement of a first profile 1 and a second profile 2 perpendicular, and on which are placed and fixed panels, such as panes or the like bearing references 3 and 4.

Le premier profilé 1 est représenté en coupe transversale et est constitué d'un élément tubulaire, de forme générale quadrangulaire, et de préférence à section rectangulaire. Les profilés 1 et 2 sont réalisés à partir de tubes métalliques pliés et déformés plastiquement, ou de feuilles ou bandes métalliques pliées ou déformées élastiquement et soudées bord à bord, ou par toute autre méthode connue en soi. The first profile 1 is shown in cross section and consists of a tubular element, shaped general quadrangular, and preferably section rectangular. Profiles 1 and 2 are made from bent and plastically deformed metal tubes, or folded or deformed metal sheets or bands elastically and welded edge to edge, or by any other method known per se.

Par raison de commodité, on a référencé la direction X comme étant l'horizontale et la direction Y comme la verticale.For convenience, we have referenced the direction X as the horizontal and the Y direction as the vertical.

En référence au profilé 1 représenté en coupe sur la figure 1, celui-ci comprend deux flancs latéraux 5 et 6, de direction verticale, et deux flancs respectivement supérieur 7 et inférieur 8, tous deux horizontaux et plans. Les flancs supérieurs 7 et 8 sont séparés en deux parties respectivement 7A et 7B par un évidement en forme de rainure longitudinale, de référence 9 pour la partie supérieure et 10 pour la partie inférieure. Sur les surfaces d'appui 7A et 7B sont représentés en appui les panneaux 3 et 4. L'évidement ou rainure centrale 9 est apte à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation des panneaux sur le profilé constitué dans la représentation de la figure 1, par une vis 11, une contre-plaque 12 portant sur la face des panneaux opposée au profilé, et un écrou 13 coopérant avec la vis 11, l'écrou étant logé dans l'évidement ou rainure centrale 9. Sur la partie inférieure du profilé 8, est prévue une plaque ou panneau de recouvrement et portant la référence 14, en tout matériau connu en soi.With reference to profile 1 shown in section on the FIG. 1, this comprises two lateral flanks 5 and 6, vertical direction, and two sides respectively upper 7 and lower 8, both horizontal and plans. The upper flanks 7 and 8 are separated in two parts 7A and 7B respectively by a shaped recess of longitudinal groove, reference 9 for the part upper and 10 for the lower part. On the bearing surfaces 7A and 7B are shown in bearing the panels 3 and 4. The recess or central groove 9 is able to cooperate with means of securing panels on the profile formed in the representation of Figure 1, by a screw 11, a counter plate 12 bearing on the face of the panels opposite the profile, and a nut 13 cooperating with the screw 11, the nut being housed in the central recess or groove 9. On the part bottom of profile 8, a plate or panel is provided covering and bearing the reference 14, in all material known per se.

Des joints en matériau approprié 15 et 16 sont prévus entre les surfaces d'appui 7A, 7B d'une part, et les panneaux 3 et 4, ainsi qu'entre la contre-plaque 12 et les panneaux 3 et 4 d'autre part.Joints of suitable material 15 and 16 are provided between the bearing surfaces 7A, 7B on the one hand, and the panels 3 and 4, as well as between the counter plate 12 and panels 3 and 4 on the other hand.

Le profilé comporte des rainures longitudinales formant gouttière, au nombre de quatre et portant les références 16 à 19. Ces rainures sont destinées à former des gouttières aptes à recevoir l'eau d'écoulement provenant des fuites éventuelles au niveau des joints 15, notamment entre les panneaux et le profilé. The profile has longitudinal grooves forming gutter, four in number and bearing the references 16 to 19. These grooves are intended to form gutters able to receive runoff water from possible leaks at the seals 15, in particular between the panels and the profile.

Les rainures/gouttières 16 à 19 sont en forme générale de V d'axe oblique par rapport aux surfaces d'appui 7 et 8. Le profilé comporte ainsi deux rainures supérieures 18 et 19 prévues respectivement sur les flancs latéraux 5 et 6 et à proximité des surfaces d'appui respectivement 7B et 7A. Les rainures 16 et 17 sont prévues sur chacun des flancs respectifs 5 et 6, à proximité des surfaces d'appui respectives 8A et 8B.The grooves / gutters 16 to 19 are generally in the form of V with an oblique axis relative to the bearing surfaces 7 and 8. The profile thus has two upper grooves 18 and 19 provided respectively on the lateral flanks 5 and 6 and near the bearing surfaces 7B and 7B respectively 7A. The grooves 16 and 17 are provided on each of the respective flanks 5 and 6, close to the surfaces respective support 8A and 8B.

Plus précisément, les rainures/gouttières sont telles que le V qu'elles forment comporte une branche dont l'extrémité constitue l'extrémité ou le bord de la surface d'appui correspondante. L'autre branche du V a son extrémité aboutissant au niveau du flanc latéral correspondant. La jonction entre l'extrémité des branches du V et les branches d'appui d'une part et les flancs latéraux d'autre part sont arrondis.More specifically, the grooves / gutters are such that the V which they form comprises a branch of which the end constitutes the end or the edge of the corresponding bearing surface. The other branch of V has its end ending at the lateral flank corresponding. The junction between the ends of the branches of the V and the supporting branches on the one hand and the sides on the other hand are rounded.

Le second profilé 2, perpendiculaire au premier profilé 1, est fixé et solidarisé à celui-ci de manière connue en soi et non représentée. Le second profilé 2 perpendiculaire est disposé de manière que ses surfaces d'appui respectivement supérieure 20 et inférieure 21 soient au même niveau que les surfaces d'appui respectivement 7 et 8 du premier profilé 1. Pour des raisons de clarté, les joints entre la surface d'appui supérieure 20 et le panneau 3 n'ont pas été représentés.The second profile 2, perpendicular to the first profile 1, is fixed and secured thereto in a manner known in self and not shown. The second profile 2 perpendicular is arranged so that its surfaces upper 20 and lower 21 respectively are at the same level as the bearing surfaces 7 and 8 respectively of the first profile 1. For reasons of clarity, the joints between the bearing surface upper 20 and panel 3 have not been shown.

La disposition respective des profilés perpendiculaires 1 et 2 est telle que les rainures/gouttières du second profilé 2 (dont seule la gouttière 22 supérieure est représentée) déversent dans la gouttière 19 correspondante du premier profilé 1. The respective arrangement of the perpendicular profiles 1 and 2 is such that the grooves / gutters of the second profile 2 (of which only the upper gutter 22 is shown) pour into the gutter 19 first profile 1.

On a représenté sur la figure 2 un profilé de l'invention vu en coupe. On retrouve sur cette figure les mêmes références pour des éléments similaires ou identiques à ceux de la figure 1. Le profilé sous la forme de réalisation représentée est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles ou bandes métalliques 23-24 pliées et déformées plastiquement et soudées bord à bord par une ligne de soudure 25-26 au niveau du fond de l'évidement/rainure respectivement 9 et 10.FIG. 2 shows a profile of the invention seen in section. We find in this figure the same references for items similar or identical to those of Figure 1. The profile in the form of shown achievement is made from two metal sheets or strips 23-24 folded and deformed plastically and welded edge to edge by a line of weld 25-26 at the bottom of the recess / groove 9 and 10 respectively.

Le profilé de l'invention est notamment conformé de manière à présenter une dissymétrie par rapport à un axe transversal I-I, alors qu'il présente une symétrie par rapport à un axe longitudinal II-II.The profile of the invention is in particular shaped so as to present an asymmetry with respect to an axis transverse I-I, while it presents a symmetry by relative to a longitudinal axis II-II.

Plus précisément, les rainures/gouttières sont de configurations différentes pour les rainures 18 et 19 à proximité des surfaces d'appui supérieures 7A et 7B, par rapport aux rainures 16 et 17 inférieures proches des surfaces d'appui inférieures 8A et 8B. Ainsi, pour les rainures/gouttières 16 et 19 disposées sur le même flanc latéral 5, sont conformées de manière que la distance séparant le fond de la rainure/gouttière et le plan de la surface d'appui correspondante est différente pour chaque gouttière. La distance x entre le fond de la gouttière 16 et le plan 8A est inférieure à la distance X entre le fond de la gouttière 19 et la surface d'appui 7A.More specifically, the grooves / gutters are different configurations for grooves 18 and 19 to proximity of the upper bearing surfaces 7A and 7B, by compared to the lower grooves 16 and 17 close to the lower support surfaces 8A and 8B. So, for grooves / gutters 16 and 19 arranged on the same side lateral 5, are shaped so that the distance separating the bottom of the groove / gutter and the plane of the corresponding support surface is different for each gutter. The distance x between the bottom of the gutter 16 and the plane 8A is less than the distance X between the bottom of the gutter 19 and the bearing surface 7A.

On comprend que un seul et même profilé peut être peut être utilisé pour réaliser un agencement de profilés perpendiculaires, tel que montré sur la figure 3, de manière que les gouttières de l'un puissent se déverser dans les gouttières correspondantes de l'autre. We understand that one and the same profile can be can be used to make an arrangement of profiles perpendicular, as shown in Figure 3, of so that one's gutters can spill in the corresponding gutters on the other.

On retrouve sur la figure 3 les mêmes références pour les éléments identiques ou similaires. On a défini une direction Z longitudinale perpendiculaire au plan formé par les directions orthogonales X transversale et Y verticale. Le premier profilé 1 est de direction Z, tandis que le second profilé perpendiculaire 2 est de direction X. Pour des raisons de clarté, les panneaux de verre ou similaire n'ont pas été représentés sur la figure 3, ainsi que les moyens de fixation de ces derniers sur le profilé, et les joints d'étanchéité.We find in Figure 3 the same references for identical or similar elements. We defined a longitudinal Z direction perpendicular to the plane formed by the transverse X and Y orthogonal directions vertical. The first section 1 is in direction Z, while the second perpendicular profile 2 is direction X. For reasons of clarity, the glass or the like were not shown on the Figure 3, as well as the means of fixing these last on the profile, and the seals.

Le second panneau 2 comporte des surfaces d'appui 27A et 27B, disposées dans le même plan X, Z que les surfaces d'appui 7A et 7B du profilé 1. Le second profilé 2 comporte des flancs latéraux 28 et 29 et une rainure/évidement supérieure 30. Pour des raisons de commodité, seule la partie supérieure des profilés 1 et 2 est représentée.The second panel 2 has bearing surfaces 27A and 27B, arranged in the same plane X, Z as the surfaces support 7A and 7B of profile 1. The second profile 2 has lateral flanks 28 and 29 and a upper groove / recess 30. For reasons of convenience, only the upper part of profiles 1 and 2 is represented.

Le premier profilé 1 est disposé de manière que les rainures/gouttières supérieures 18 et 19 soient les plus profondes, tandis que le profilé 2 est disposé de manière que ses gouttières supérieures 30 et 31 soient les moins profondes. Ainsi, l'eau d'écoulement provenant de fuites éventuelles au niveau des joints entre les panneaux de verre supportés par la structure formée par les profilés 1 et 2, s'écoulant dans les gouttières 30 et 31 du second panneau 2, se déverse (flèche f) dans les gouttières correspondantes 18 du premier profilé 1 disposé perpendiculairement. En effet, le fond des gouttières les moins profondes 30 et 31 du second profilé, sont disposées à un niveau supérieur (dans la direction verticale Y, par rapport aux bords inférieurs 18A, 19A, des gouttières les plus profondes du profilé correspondant. The first profile 1 is arranged so that the upper grooves / gutters 18 and 19 are the most deep, while the profile 2 is arranged so that its upper gutters 30 and 31 are the least deep. So runoff water from leaks possible at the joints between the panels glass supported by the structure formed by the profiles 1 and 2, flowing into the gutters 30 and 31 of the second panel 2, pours (arrow f) into the gutters 18 of the first section 1 arranged perpendicularly. Indeed, the bottom of the gutters shallower 30 and 31 of the second profile, are arranged at a higher level (in the direction vertical Y, relative to the lower edges 18A, 19A, deepest gutters of the profile corresponding.

A titre d'exemple indicatif, les dimensions du profilé peuvent être les suivantes, vue en coupe transversale :

  • hauteur (direction Y) : 130 millimètres;
  • largeur (direction X) : 60 millimètres;
  • diamètre de l'évidement/rainure (9,10) : 21 millimètres;
  • distance X de rainure peu provonde : 20 millimètres;
  • distance X de rainure profonde : 25 millimètres.
As an example, the dimensions of the profile can be as follows, seen in cross section:
  • height (direction Y): 130 millimeters;
  • width (direction X): 60 millimeters;
  • diameter of the recess / groove (9.10): 21 millimeters;
  • little proving groove distance X: 20 millimeters;
  • distance X from deep groove: 25 millimeters.
