Description
L'invention a trait à un pied de parasol.The invention relates to a parasol base.
Un pied de parasol est communément utilisé pour maintenir sensiblement vertical le mât d'un parasol sur une surface dans laquelle on ne souhaite pas percer un trou pour recevoir l'extrémité du mât, telle que, notamment, une terrasse, un trottoir ou une pelouse. Il est connu, par exemple de DE-U-83 29 665 ou de US-A-4,596,262, d'utiliser un pied de parasol comprenant une enveloppe en matériau plastique apte à être remplie d'une matière de lestage telle que, par exemple, de l'eau ou du sable. Dans ce genre de dispositif, un tube creux est disposé au centre de l'enveloppe et peut recevoir la partie inférieure du mât du parasol. Le tube creux peut être fixé par rapport à l'enveloppe grâce à un assemblage par quart de tour ou à d'autres moyens.A parasol base is commonly used to hold substantially vertical the mast of a parasol on a surface in which one does not wish to drill a hole to receive the end of the mast, such as, in particular, a terrace, a sidewalk or lawn. It is known, for example from DE-U-83 29,665 or US-A-4,596,262, to use a parasol base comprising an envelope of plastic material capable of being filled with ballast material such as, for example, water or sand. In this kind of device, a hollow tube is placed in the center of the envelope and can receive the part lower of the parasol mast. The hollow tube can be fixed by ratio to the envelope thanks to a quarter turn assembly or other means.
Cependant, les parasols de grandes tailles offrent une prise au vent importante. Le couple qu'ils sont susceptibles d'exercer par rapport au centre de l'enveloppe du pied du parasol est tel que l'assemblage entre le tube creux et l'enveloppe n'y résiste pas et que le tube creux peut être arraché de l'enveloppe, ce qui conduit à la chute du parasol et peut s'avérer dangereux. D'autre part, dans les systèmes connus de l'art antérieur, les efforts transmis par le mât du parasol au tube creux sont reportés directement sur une zone concentrée de l'enveloppe qui subit des contraintes importantes pouvant conduire à sa déformation partielle. Cette déformation est inesthétique et, surtout, elle fragilise l'assemblage du tube creux sur l'enveloppe, ce qui augmente les risques de chute du parasol. Enfin, dans les pieds de parasol connus de l'art antérieur, lorsque plusieurs pieds de parasol doivent être transportés de leur lieu de fabrication jusqu'à leur lieu de vente ou stockés, le tube creux doit être démonté par rapport à l'enveloppe et ces pieds ne peuvent pas facilement être gerbés. En outre, le démontage du tube creux par rapport à l'enveloppe crée un risque de perte de celui-ci en cours de transport ou de stockage.However, large parasols offer a significant wind catch. The couple they are likely to exercise in relation to the center of the envelope of the foot of the parasol is such that the assembly between the hollow tube and the envelope does not resist and that the hollow tube can be torn from the envelope, which leads to the fall of the parasol and can be dangerous. On the other hand, in known systems from the prior art, the forces transmitted by the mast of the parasol to the hollow tube are transferred directly to a concentrated area of the envelope which undergoes significant stresses which can lead to its partial deformation. This deformation is unsightly and, above all, it weakens the assembly of the tube hollow on the envelope, which increases the risk of falling Beach umbrella. Finally, in the parasol feet known in the art anterior, when several parasol feet must be transported from their place of manufacture to their place of sale or stored, the hollow tube must be disassembled relative to the casing and these feet cannot easily be stacked. In addition, the disassembly of the hollow tube relative to the envelope creates a risk of losing it during transport or storage.
L'invention vise à résoudre ces problèmes et à proposer un pied de parasol comprenant une enveloppe apte à être remplie d'une matière de lestage, capable de résister à un couple important transmis par le mât du parasol sans se déformer ou laisser choir le parasol.The invention aims to solve these problems and to propose a parasol base comprising an envelope suitable for filling ballast material capable of withstanding a couple important transmitted by the mast of the parasol without deforming or drop the parasol.
Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un pied de parasol comprenant une enveloppe apte à être remplie d'une matière de lestage et un tube creux apte à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure d'un mât, caractérisé en ce que ledit tube creux est solidaire de et entouré par une entretoise de renfort, ladite entretoise traversant ladite enveloppe de part en part, venant en appui sur la surface de ladite enveloppe et étant apte à répartir sur ladite surface un effort transmis au tube creux.In this spirit, the invention relates to a parasol base comprising an envelope capable of being filled with a material of ballast and a hollow tube adapted to receive the lower end a mast, characterized in that said hollow tube is integral of and surrounded by a reinforcing spacer, said spacer crossing said envelope right through, coming to bear on the surface of said envelope and being able to distribute over said surface a force transmitted to the hollow tube.
Grâce à l'invention, les efforts transmis par le mât au tube creux sont repris par l'entretoise et répartis sur la surface de l'enveloppe de telle sorte qu'ils ne risquent pas de déformer celle-ci. Ainsi, en cas de fort vent, le tube creux n'est pas arraché par rapport à l'enveloppe.Thanks to the invention, the forces transmitted by the mast to hollow tube are taken up by the spacer and distributed over the envelope surface so they don't risk distort it. So, in strong winds, the hollow tube is not torn from the envelope.
Selon un premier aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'entretoise est formée d'un manchon supérieur et d'un manchon inférieur, ces manchons étant assemblés l'un avec l'autre. Cette construction de l'entretoise permet de la mettre en place en traversant l'enveloppe de part en part alors qu'elle comprend des surfaces d'appui non parallèles au mât à la fois en dessus et en dessous de l'enveloppe.According to a first advantageous aspect of the invention, the spacer is formed by an upper sleeve and a sleeve lower, these sleeves being assembled with each other. This construction of the spacer allows it to be put in place crossing the envelope right through while it includes support surfaces that are not parallel to the mast at the same time above and below the envelope.
Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, une surface d'appui du manchon supérieur sur l'enveloppe est constituée par une collerette globalement perpendiculaire au mât en place dans le tube creux. Grâce à cet aspect de l'invention, les efforts transmis par le manchon supérieur du tube creux vers l'enveloppe sont au moins partiellement transformés en un effort d'écrasement de l'enveloppe, alors que cette enveloppe peut être conformée pour résister efficacement à un tel effort d'écrasement, de sorte qu'elle ne risque pas de se déformer.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, a bearing surface of the upper sleeve on the casing is constituted by a collar generally perpendicular to the mast in place in the hollow tube. Thanks to this aspect of the invention, the forces transmitted by the upper sleeve of the tube hollow towards the envelope are at least partially transformed in an effort to crush the envelope, while this envelope can be shaped to effectively resist such crushing effort, so that there is no risk of it deform.
Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, le manchon inférieur à une forme évasée tournée vers le bas, de telle sorte qu'il est apte à recevoir l'extrémité supérieure du tube creux d'un pied de parasol identique stocké sous le pied de parasol. Grâce à cet aspect de l'invention, il est possible de gerber des pieds de parasol conformes à l'invention, démonter le tube creux de réception du mât. Les pieds du parasol sont ainsi immédiatement opérationnels lorsqu'ils ont été stockés ou transportés et l'on ne risque pas d'égarer un tube creux de réception de mât.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the sleeve lower than a flared shape turned downwards, of such that it is suitable for receiving the upper end of the hollow tube of an identical parasol base stored under the base parasol. Thanks to this aspect of the invention, it is possible to stack umbrella feet in accordance with the invention, disassemble the hollow mast receiving tube. The feet of parasol are thus immediately operational when they have been stored or transported and there is no risk of losing a hollow mast receiving tube.
Il est en outre possible de prévoir que les manchons sont pourvus de nervures de rigidification, ces nervures leur permettant de résister aux efforts transmis par le tube creux de réception du mât. Dans ce cas, l'enveloppe est avantageusement pourvue de dépressions de réception de ces nervures de rigidification, de sorte que les surfaces en regard de l'entretoise et de l'enveloppe peuvent être proches, ce qui garantit une bonne stabilité dimensionnelle du pied de parasol de l'invention.It is also possible to provide that the sleeves are provided with stiffening ribs, these ribs to resist the forces transmitted by the hollow tube mast reception. In this case, the envelope is advantageously provided with depressions receiving these ribs of stiffening, so that the facing surfaces of the spacer and the envelope can be close together, which guarantees good dimensional stability of the parasol base the invention.
Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'enveloppe est pourvue d'un orifice de vidange situé à proximité d'un premier bord inférieur, le bord inférieur opposé étant conformé en poignée de pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal proche du premier bord inférieur. Grâce à cet aspect de l'invention, il est possible de vidanger l'enveloppe en soulevant celle-ci par la poignée pour la faire pivoter de façon à rapprocher l'orifice de vidange du sol. En particulier, il n'est pas nécessaire de retourner l'enveloppe alors que celle-ci est pleine pour la vidanger à travers son orifice de remplissage. Ceci évite donc la manipulation pénible d'un objet lourd.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the envelope has a nearby drain hole a first lower edge, the opposite lower edge being shaped like a pivot handle about an axis substantially horizontal near the first lower edge. Thanks to this aspect of the invention, it is possible to empty the envelope in lifting it by the handle to rotate it so as to bring the drain hole closer to the ground. In particular, it is not necessary to return the envelope while this one is full to drain it through its opening of filling. This therefore avoids the painful handling of an object heavy.
Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'enveloppe porte, à proximité d'un second bord inférieur, un dispositif de roulement, le bord inférieur opposé étant conforme en poignée de pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal proche du second bord inférieur. Grâce à cet aspect de l'invention, lorsqu'il est nécessaire ou souhaitable de déplacer le pied de parasol, on soulève celui-ci par la poignée et seul le dispositif de roulement est en contact avec le sol, de sorte qu'il est possible de déplacer le pied de parasol jusqu'à sa destination. Ceci facilite les déplacements du pied de parasol par rapport aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the envelope door, near a second lower edge, a rolling device, the opposite bottom edge being conforms to a pivot handle about an axis substantially horizontal near the second lower edge. Thanks to this aspect of the invention, when it is necessary or desirable to move the parasol base, lift it by the handle and only the rolling device is in contact with the ground, so that it is possible to move the parasol base to its destination. This facilitates movement of the foot parasol compared to the devices of the prior art.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation d'un pied de parasol conformé à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Le pied de parasol dont les éléments apparaissent à la
figure 1 comprend une enveloppe 1 en matière plastique réalisée
par moulage, soufflage ou roto-moulage, dont la capacité est
d'environ 50 litres. Cette enveloppe peut être lestée en la
remplissant d'un liquide tel que de l'eau et/ou du sable ou
d'un autre matériau particulaire. Elle est munie d'un trou
central 2 apte à recevoir des éléments de fixation d'un pied de
parasol et d'un orifice 3 de remplissage dans lequel peut être
déversée la matière de lestage. Un bouchon 4 permet d'obturer
l'orifice 3. Un tube creux 5 est prévu pour recevoir l'extrémité
inférieure d'un mât 6. Une bague de coincement 7 peut être
disposée à la partie supérieure du tube 5 et serrée autour du
mât 6 grâce à un écrou 8.The parasol base, the elements of which appear at the
Figure 1 includes a
Conformément à l'invention, une entretoise 10 est formée
d'un manchon supérieur 11 et d'un manchon inférieur 12 assemblés
grâce à la coopération d'un filetage externe 11a du
manchon 11 et d'un taraudage 12a du manchon 12. Ainsi, l'entretoise
10 peut être formée en enserrant dans le trou central 2
de l'enveloppe 1 le manchon inférieur 12 par dessous et le
manchon supérieur 11 par dessus et en vissant ces deux manchons
l'un dans l'autre.According to the invention, a

à la figure 2, l'entretoise 10 est disposée dans le trou cenl'un

in Figure 2, the
Une fois en place, et comme cela apparaít plus clairement
à la figure 2, l'entretoise 10 est disposée dans le trou cen,tral
2, autour du tube 5. Elle traverse l'enveloppe 1 de part
en part, c'est-à-dire de haut en bas sur la figure 2, et vient
en appui contre la surface de l'enveloppe 1.Once in place, and as it appears more clearly
in Figure 2, the
Le manchon 11 comprend une collerette 11b s'étendant dans
une direction sensiblement horizontale et recouvrant partiellement
la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe 1. Le manchon 12,
quant à lui, a une forme extérieure globalement tronconique et
évasée et sa partie inférieure 12b vient au contact du sol
lorsque le pied de parasol est posé par terre. Ainsi, l'entretoise
10 formée des manchons 11 et 12 enserre partiellement
l'enveloppe 1 avec laquelle elle est rigidement assemblée.The
Le manchon 11 comprend aussi un taraudage 11c apte à
recevoir l'extrémité inférieure du tube creux 5, de telle sorte
que le tube creux est fermement maintenu en position par
rapport à l'entretoise 10. En outre, le tube creux 5 comprend
une collerette externe 5a s'étendant dans une direction
sensiblement perpendiculaire au mât 6 et venant en appui sur la
face supérieure du manchon 11 constituée par la collerette 11b.
Ainsi, le tube 6 ne peut pas pivoter autour d'un axe sensiblement
horizontal situé dans sa partie inférieure car la collerette
5a le maintient en position.The
Lorsqu'un couple C est exercé sur le mât 6, ce couple est
absorbé par le tube creux 5 et l'entretoise 10 et réparti par
les parties de l'entretoise 10 qui sont en appui sur l'enveloppe
1, à savoir la collerette 11a et la partie sensiblement
tronconique du manchon 12, de sorte que cet effort qui ne
s'exerce pas dans une zone locale, ne risque pas de déformer
l'enveloppe 1.When a torque C is exerted on the
En outre, pour faciliter la répartition des efforts, les
manchons 11 et 12 sont pourvus de nervures de rigidication qui
sont disposées comme suit : des nervures 15 sont prévues à
l'intérieur de l'orifice du manchon 11 qui reçoit le tube 5, de
telle sorte que le tube 5 vient en appui contre ces nervures,
ce qui contribue encore à son maintien en position. Des
nervures 16 sont prévues sous la collerette 11b et s'étendent
prévues à l'intérieur du manchon 12 et confèrent une bonne
rigidité à celui-ci.In addition, to facilitate the distribution of forces, the
Comme il apparaít à la figure 1, l'enveloppe 1 est pourvue
de dépressions 18 de réception des nervures 16, de sorte que la
collerette 11b peut être disposée au plus près de la surface
supérieure de l'enveloppe 1.As it appears in Figure 1, the
La collerette 11b est aussi pourvue d'un perçage 19
destiné à être superposé à l'orifice de remplissage 3 et dans
lequel vient se loger le bouchon 4, car la collerette 11b
recouvre l'enveloppe 1 y compris dans la zone dans laquelle est
ménagé l'orifice 3. Un système de détrompage peut être prévu
par la coopération des nervures 15 et des dépressions 18, ce
système évitant que le manchon 11 soit mis en place alors que
le perçage 19 n'est pas superposé avec l'orifice 3.The
Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, l'enveloppe 1
comprend un orifice de vidange 20 muni d'un bouchon 21, cet
orifice de vidange étant situé à proximité d'un bord inférieur
1a de l'enveloppe 1. Par ailleurs, le bord inférieur opposé 1b
de l'enveloppe 1 est conformé en poignée 22 par un enfoncement
dans lequel l'utilisateur peut insérer l'extrémité de ses
doigts. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de vider le pied de parasol de
l'invention, un effort de soulèvement F est exercé pour amener
le pied de parasol dans la position de figure 3, par pivotement
autour du bord 1a de l'enveloppe 1, après avoir oté le bouchon
21. Le liquide ou le solide particulaire contenu dans l'enveloppe
1 peut alors s'écouler par gravité.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the
Lorsqu'on souhaite déplacer le pied de parasol de l'invention,
il faut tenir compte que celui-ci peut avoir une masse
importante s'il est complètement lesté. On prévoit donc
avantageusement qu'un axe 24 est encliqueté dans des logements
dont un seul référencé 1c apparaít à la figure 1 de façon à
pouvoir servir d'axe à un rouleau 25 qui constitue, avec l'axe
24, un dispositif de roulement du pied de parasol. En effet,
l'axe 24 et le rouleau 25 sont disposés à proximité d'un bord
inférieur 1d de l'enveloppe 1 alors que le bord inférieur
opposé 1e est conformé en poignée 26, de telle sorte qu'en
exerçant un effort F', représenté à la figure 4, il est
possible de faire pivoter le pied de parasol autour d'un axe
horizontal sensiblement parallèle au bord 1d et de déplacer le
pied de parasol en faisant rouler le rouleau 25 sur le sol.
Ainsi, le pied de parasol de l'invention peut être facilement
déplacé même lorsqu'il a un poids important.When it is desired to move the parasol base of the invention, it must be taken into account that it may have a large mass if it is completely ballasted. It is therefore advantageously provided that an
Un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention a été représenté
à la figure 5. Sur cette figure, deux pieds de parasol identiques
sont gerbés. La forme évasée du manchon inférieur 12 du
pied de parasol supérieur permet de loger, sous la zone de
raccordement des manchons 11 et 12 et de fixation du tube creux
5 du pied supérieur, l'extrémité supérieure d'un tube creux 5'
et un écrou de serrage correspondant 8' appartenant au pied de
parasol inférieur. Ainsi, les pieds de parasol conformes à
l'invention peuvent être stockés et éventuellement transportés
depuis leur lieu de production jusqu'à leur lieu de vente en
étant gerbés sans devoir être démontés, ce qui diminue les
risques de perte des tubes de réception des mâts et permet de
rendre ces pieds de parasol immédiatement opérationnels. Ceci
est particulièrement intéressant, par exemple, en cas d'utilisation
intensive à la terrasse d'un restaurant où les parasols
et leurs pieds doivent être stockés à l'abri et en sûreté tous
les soirs.Another advantageous aspect of the invention has been shown
in Figure 5. In this figure, two identical parasol legs
