Abstract

The foot consists of two hollow molded blocks (3, 4) with recesses (24) which form a hole for the post or mast (2) when they are fitted together. The two blocks of the foot have one or more interlocking sloping surfaces (4a) so they are held together by the weight of the upper one on the lower one when assembled, and each one has a handle (4b) for manipulating it. Preferred Features: A variant of the design has two similarly-shaped blocks with sloping surfaces engaging with a separate base block. The blocks can be ballasted with water, sand or cement.

Description

L'invention a trait à un dispositif formant pied pour piquet ou mât, notamment pour pied de tonnelle ou de panneau.The invention relates to a device forming a foot for stake or mast, in particular for arbor or panel base.

Les pieds de tonnelle ou de panneau sont généralement constitués par des tubes métalliques ou des mâts en bois d'un diamètre compris entre 18 et 50 mm. Ces pieds peuvent être enfoncés dans le sol pour immobiliser la structure qu'ils supportent. Cependant, il n'est pas toujours possible d'enfoncer ces pieds dans le sol, par exemple, lorsque le sol en question est une terrasse, une route goudronnée ou un gazon qu'il convient de ne pas détériorer.The arbor or panel legs are generally formed by metal tubes or wooden masts of a diameter between 18 and 50 mm. These feet can be sunk into the ground to immobilize the structure they support. However, it is not always possible to press these feet in the ground, for example, when the ground in question is a terrace, a paved road or a lawn that it should not be damaged.

Pour des panneaux, on a parfois recours à des socles en béton qui sont destinés à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure des pieds du panneau. Cependant, de tels socles sont lourds, donc peu pratiques à déplacer, et ne permettent pas de recevoir des pieds ou mâts qui ne sont pas exactement verticaux. Or, il arrive, dans le cas de tonnelles, mais également pour des panneaux comprenant plusieurs pieds formant une structure en forme de pyramide, que des piquets à immobiliser soient inclinés par rapport à la verticale, de sorte qu'il n'existe pas de dispositif adapté pour en constituer le pied.For panels, we sometimes use plinths concrete which are intended to receive the lower end of panel feet. However, such bases are heavy, so impractical to move, and do not allow to receive feet or masts that are not exactly vertical. But he happens, in the case of arbors, but also for panels comprising several feet forming a structure in pyramid shape, that stakes to be immobilized are inclined to the vertical, so that there is no no device adapted to constitute the foot.

En outre, les piquets des dispositifs tels que les tonnelles ou les panneaux d'affichage ont des diamètres variables, voire des sections de formes variables, circulaires, ovales ou polygonales, ce qui peut empêcher l'utilisation de certains socles connus qui ne sont compatibles qu'avec des piquets à section circulaire d'un diamètre déterminé.In addition, the stakes of devices such as arbors or billboards have diameters variables, even sections of variable, circular shapes, oval or polygonal, which may prevent the use of certain known bases which are only compatible with stakes with circular section of a determined diameter.

Ainsi, EP-A-0 380 272 divulgue un dispositif formant pied pour un piquet qui comprend deux parties destinées à être assemblées par des tenons et mortaises disposés autour d'un orifice central prévu pour recevoir essentiellement un poteau vertical de petit diamètre. L'assemblage par tenons et mortaises nécessite la manipulation de pièces lourdes pour engager par en dessus un tenon dans la mortaise correspondante, de part et d'autre de l'orifice ainsi formé.Thus, EP-A-0 380 272 discloses a device forming a foot for a stake which comprises two parts intended to be assembled by tenons and mortises arranged around a central hole designed to receive essentially a pole vertical small diameter. Assembly by tenons and mortises requires the handling of heavy parts to engage from above a tenon in the corresponding mortise, by hand and other of the orifice thus formed.

C'est à ces problèmes qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un dispositif susceptible de s'adapter à des pieds de sections variées, éventuellement inclinés, et ne nécessitant pas de manoeuvre pénible des éléments qui le constituent.It is to these problems that we hear more particularly remedy the invention by proposing a device capable of adapt to feet of various sections, possibly inclined, and not requiring painful operation of the constituent elements.

Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un dispositif formant pied pour piquet ou mât, notamment pour pied de tonnelle ou de panneau, comprenant deux cales de formes complémentaires, aptes à être verrouillées, dans une configuration de formation d'un puits de réception du piquet ou mât, par coopération de formes sous l'effet de leur poids propre. Ces cales comprennent chacune au moins une surface de portée globalement plane, chaque cale étant apte à venir en appui glissant, par cette surface de portée, contre une surface de réception globalement plane de l'autre cale ou d'une base.In this spirit, the invention relates to a device forming foot for stake or mast, in particular for foot of arbor or panel, comprising two wedges of complementary shapes, capable of being locked, in a configuration of formation of a stake or mast receiving well, by cooperation of forms under the effect of their own weight. These shims each include at least one bearing surface generally flat, each wedge being capable of coming to bear sliding, by this bearing surface, against a surface of generally flat reception of the other hold or of a base.

L'invention tire parti du fait que les cales sont généralement lourdes, de sorte que leur poids est suffisant pour que le verrouillage obtenu sous l'effet de ce poids soit efficace. Le caractère plan de ces surfaces autorise un glissement d'une cale par rapport à l'autre enveloppe ou par rapport à la base parallèlement au plan de ces surfaces, ce qui permet, notamment, d'ajuster le diamètre du puits de réception au diamètre effectif du piquet.The invention takes advantage of the fact that the wedges are generally heavy, so that their weight is sufficient for the locking obtained under the effect of this weight is effective. The flat character of these surfaces allows a sliding of a wedge in relation to the other envelope or in relation to the base parallel to the plane of these surfaces, which allows, in particular, adjust the diameter of the receiving well to the diameter staff of the stake.

Selon un premier aspect avantageux de l'invention, les cales sont des enveloppes creuses obtenues par soufflage, moulage par injection, roto-moulage ou thermoformage de matière plastique. De telles enveloppes sont aisées à manipuler quand elles sont vides et ont un poids suffisant pour remplir leur fonction quand elles sont lestées.According to a first advantageous aspect of the invention, the shims are hollow envelopes obtained by blowing, injection molding, rotational molding or thermoforming of material plastic. Such envelopes are easy to handle when they are empty and have sufficient weight to fill their function when ballasted.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, une première cale ou une base forme un support en appui sur une surface de réception du dispositif sur lequel est ou sont posée(s) l'autre cale ou les cales, la surface de réception précitée étant prévue en partie supérieure de la première cale ou de la base.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, a first wedge or a base forms a support bearing on a receiving surface of the device on which is or are other shim (s), the receiving surface mentioned above being provided in the upper part of the first wedge or from the base.

On peut prévoir que la surface de portée est inclinée par rapport à une normale à une surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif. Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif est posé sur un sol globalement horizontal, la surface de portée de chaque enveloppe est inclinée par rapport à l'horizontale et à la verticale, de sorte que le glissement d'une cale parallèlement à cette surface peut être envisagé sous l'effet de son seul poids, ce qui autorise un ajustement automatique du diamètre du puits de réception du piquet.Provision may be made for the bearing surface to be inclined by compared to a normal to a surface on which the device. So when the device is placed on a floor generally horizontal, the bearing surface of each envelope is inclined with respect to the horizontal and the vertical, so that the slip of a wedge parallel to this surface can be considered under the effect of its weight alone, this which allows automatic adjustment of the diameter of the well reception of the stake.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, chaque cale comprend deux surfaces de portée, dans des plans parallèles et distincts, ces surfaces de portée étant reliées par une surface de transition globalement orthogonale à une surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif. En d'autres termes, chaque cale présente une zone de coopération avec l'autre cale avec un profil sensiblement "en Z". Dans ce cas, on peut prévoir que l'une au moins des surfaces de portée est divisée en deux parties séparées par un volume de réception et de blocage du piquet ou mât. Ainsi, la surface de portée est répartie de part et d'autre du piquet ou mât.According to a first embodiment of the invention, each hold includes two bearing surfaces, in planes parallel and distinct, these bearing surfaces being connected by a transition surface generally orthogonal to a surface on which the device is placed. In others terms, each hold has a cooperation area with the other wedge with a profile substantially "in Z". In that case, one can foresee that at least one of the bearing surfaces is divided into two parts separated by a receiving volume and for blocking the stake or mast. So the reach surface is distributed on both sides of the stake or mast.

Avantageusement, la surface de transition comprend des moyens de blocage avec une autre cale par coopération de formes. Par exemple, les moyens de blocage sont formés par une rainure et une saillie séparées par un volume de réception et de blocage du piquet ou mât, cette rainure et cette saillie étant prévues pour coopérer respectivement avec une saillie et une rainure identiques d'une autre enveloppe. Un tel système est particulièrement efficace et procède également d'un verrouillage par coopération de formes.Advantageously, the transition surface includes locking means with another wedge by cooperation of shapes. For example, the blocking means are formed by a groove and projection separated by a receiving volume and for blocking the stake or mast, this groove and this projection being provided to cooperate respectively with a projection and an identical groove of another envelope. Such a system is particularly effective and also proceeds from a locking by cooperation of shapes.

Selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif comprend une base de réception des cales, en appui sous l'effet de leur poids propre, cette base étant prévue pour être disposée entre les cales et la surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif. Cette base comprend au moins deux surfaces de réception des surfaces de portée des cales, les surfaces de portée des cales étant en appui simultané sur les surfaces de réception de la base. Ceci garantit une bonne répartition des efforts et une stabilité satisfaisante. On peut prévoir que la base comprend en outre au moins une surface de transition reliant ses surfaces de réception, cette surface de transition étant prête à recevoir, en appui, des surfaces de portée secondaire des deux cales. Cette surface de transition remplit ainsi une fonction de surface de réception supplémentaire, ce qui améliore encore la stabilité du dispositif.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the device includes a wedge receiving base, bearing under the effect of their own weight, this base being provided for be arranged between the holds and the surface on which is installed the device. This base includes at least two surfaces for receiving the bearing surfaces of the holds, the surfaces of bearing space being supported simultaneously on the surfaces of reception of the base. This guarantees a good distribution of efforts and satisfactory stability. We can predict that the base further comprises at least one transition surface connecting its receiving surfaces, this transition surface being ready to receive, in support, bearing surfaces secondary of the two holds. This transition surface fills thus an additional reception area function, which further improves the stability of the device.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre de deux modes de réalisation d'un dispositif formant pied pour piquet ou mât conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Le dispositif 1 représenté aux figures 1 à 6 est destiné à être monté à l'extrémité inférieure 2a d'un piquet 2 en forme de tube métallique, tel qu'un piquet du genre mât de tente, constituant le pied d'une tonnelle. Le dispositif 1 comprend deux cales formées par des enveloppes creuses 3 et 4 obtenues par soufflage d'une matière plastique telle que du polyéthylène ou du polypropylène.The device 1 shown in Figures 1 to 6 is intended to be mounted at the lower end 2 has a peg 2 in the form of metal tube, such as a pole mast kind of tent, forming the foot of an arbor . The device 1 comprises two shims formed by hollow envelopes 3 and 4 obtained by blowing a plastic material such as polyethylene or polypropylene.

Les enveloppes 3 et 4 peuvent également être réalisées par moulage par injection, roto-moulage, thermoformage toute autre méthode de mise en forme d'une matière thermoplastique et comporter, éventuellement, une ligne de soudure par ultra-sons. Envelopes 3 and 4 can also be produced by injection molding, rotational molding, thermoforming any other method of shaping a thermoplastic material and possibly include a line of ultrasonic welding.

Ces enveloppes 3 et 4 sont chacune pourvues d'un orifice non représenté de remplissage, destiné à obturé par un bouchon également non représenté. Les enveloppes 3 et 4 peuvent ainsi être partiellement ou complètement remplies d'un matériau de lestage L tel que du sable, de l'eau ou du ciment.These envelopes 3 and 4 are each provided with an orifice not shown filling, intended to be closed by a plug also not shown. Envelopes 3 and 4 can thus be partially or completely filled with a material of ballast L such as sand, water or cement.

Les enveloppes 3 et 4 sont identiques, c'est-à-dire ont la même géométrie, de sorte qu'un unique moule peut être utilisé pour leur fabrication et que les enveloppes de deux dispositifs 1 identiques sont interchangeables.Envelopes 3 and 4 are identical, i.e. have the same geometry, so that a single mold can be used for their manufacture and that the envelopes of two devices 1 identical are interchangeable.

Chaque enveloppe 3 ou 4 est en forme de "pied" ou "tas de cordonnier", les enveloppes 3 et 4 étant assemblées tête-bêche pour former le dispositif 1. L'enveloppe 3 comprend deux branches 13 et 13' définissant entre elles une encoche 23 de réception d'une partie du piquet 2. De la même manière, l'enveloppe 4 comprend deux branches 14 et 14' définissant entre elles une encoche 24 de réception d'une partie du piquet 2. Les surfaces inférieures 14a et 14'a des branches 14 et 14' sont situées dans un même plan P1. La surface inférieure 4a de l'enveloppe 4 est globalement plane et comprise dans un plan P2 globalement parallèle au plan P1. La surface supérieure 3a de l'enveloppe 3 correspond à la surface inférieure 4a de l'enveloppe 4, on note P'2 le plan contenant la surface 3a. On note P'1 le plan contenant les surfaces supérieures 13a et 13'a des branches 13 et 13' . Les plans P1, P2, P'1, P'2 sont parallèles dans la position des figures 2 à 4. On note α leur angle d'inclinaison par rapport à une normale Z-Z' à la surface S du sol sur laquelle est posé le dispositif. L'angle α est l'angle d'inclinaison des surfaces 3α, 4α, 13α, 13'α, 14α et 14'α par rapport à la normale Z-Z'.Each envelope 3 or 4 is in the form of a "foot" or "pile of shoemaker", the envelopes 3 and 4 being assembled head to tail to form the device 1. The envelope 3 comprises two branches 13 and 13 'defining between them a notch 23 for receiving part of the stake 2. Likewise, the casing 4 comprises two branches 14 and 14 ′ defining between them a notch 24 for receiving part of the stake 2. The lower surfaces 14 a and 14 ′ has branches 14 and 14 ′ are located in the same plane P 1 . The bottom surface 4a of the casing 4 is generally flat and lies within a plane generally parallel to the plane P 2 P 1. The upper surface 3 a of the envelope 3 corresponds to the lower surface 4 a of the envelope 4, we denote P ' 2 the plane containing the surface 3 a . We denote P ' 1 the plane containing the upper surfaces 13 a and 13' has branches 13 and 13 '. The planes P 1 , P 2 , P ' 1 , P' 2 are parallel in the position of Figures 2 to 4. We note α their angle of inclination relative to a normal ZZ 'to the surface S of the ground on which is installed the device. The angle α is the angle of inclination of the surfaces 3α, 4α, 13α, 13'α, 14α and 14'α relative to the normal Z-Z '.

Comme il ressort plus clairement de la figure 3, les plans P1 et P'2, d'une part, P2 et P'1, d'autre part, sont confondus lorsque les enveloppes 3 et 4 sont en appui l'une sur l'autre sous l'effet du poids de l'enveloppe 4. Il est donc possible de faire glisser l'enveloppe 4 en direction de la surface S du sol sur laquelle est disposé le dispositif 1 parallèlement aux plans P1, P2, P'1 et P'2, comme représenté par la flèche F à la figure 3. Dans ces conditions, le piquet 2 est emprisonné dans et entre les encoches 23 et 24 qui définissent entre elles un puits 25 de réception de ce piquet.As is clearer from FIG. 3, the planes P 1 and P ' 2 , on the one hand, P 2 and P' 1 , on the other hand, are combined when the envelopes 3 and 4 are in support one on the other under the effect of the weight of the envelope 4. It is therefore possible to slide the envelope 4 in the direction of the surface S of the ground on which the device 1 is disposed parallel to the planes P 1 , P 2 , P ' 1 and P' 2 , as represented by the arrow F in FIG. 3. Under these conditions, the stake 2 is trapped in and between the notches 23 and 24 which define between them a well 25 for receiving this stake.

On note 33 la surface de transition de l'enveloppe 3 entre les surfaces 3a, d'une part, et 13a et 13'a, d'autre part. De la même manière, on note 34 la surface de transition entre les surfaces 4a, d'une part, et 14a et 14'a, d'autre part, de l'enveloppe 4. En fait, le puits 25 est défini entre les surfaces 33 et 34, comme cela ressort notamment des figures 3 et 4.It is noted 33 the transition surface of the casing 3 between the surfaces 3a, on the one hand, and 13 a and 13 'a, on the other hand. Similarly, there is the transition surface 34 between the surfaces 4 has, on the one hand, and 14a and 14'a on the other hand, of the casing 4. In fact, the well 25 is defined between surfaces 33 and 34, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4.

Lorsque l'enveloppe 4 est posée sur l'enveloppe 3 sans qu'un piquet soit intercalé entre ces enveloppes, la surface 34 vient en appui contre la surface 33, car les surfaces 14a et 14'a glissent sur la surface 3a en même temps que la surface 4a glisse sur les surfaces 13a et 13'a.When the envelope 4 is placed on the envelope 3 without a stake being interposed between these envelopes, the surface 34 comes to bear against the surface 33, because the surfaces 14 a and 14 ′ a slide on the surface 3 a in at the same time as the surface 4 a slides on the surfaces 13 a and 13 ′ a .

Les surfaces 33 et 34 sont globalement perpendiculaires à la surface S, de sorte que le puits 25 qu'elles définissent entre elles est globalement normal à cette surface. La surface 33 forme une rainure 33a et une saillie 33b s'étendant selon une direction globalement perpendiculaire à la surface S entre la surface 3a et les branches 13 et 13'. De la même manière, la surface 34 définit une rainure 34a et une saillie 34b. La géométrie de la rainure 33a et de la saillie 34b est telle que la saillie 34b peut pénétrer dans la rainure 33a. De la même manière, la saillie 33b est prévue pour pénétrer dans la rainure 34a.The surfaces 33 and 34 are generally perpendicular to the surface S, so that the well 25 which they define between them is generally normal to this surface. The surface 33 forms a groove 33 a and a projection 33 b extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface S between the surface 3 a and the branches 13 and 13 '. Likewise, the surface 34 defines a groove 34 a and a projection 34 b . The geometry of the groove 33 a and the projection 34 b is such that the projection 34 b can penetrate the groove 33 a . Likewise, the projection 33 b is provided to penetrate into the groove 34 a .

Les éléments 33a, 33b, 34a et 34b constituent des moyens de blocage réciproque des enveloppes 3 et 4 par coopération de formes, ces moyens de blocage étant répartis de part et d'autre du piquet 2, comme cela ressort notamment de la figure 4.The elements 33 a , 33 b , 34 a and 34 b constitute means for reciprocal blocking of the envelopes 3 and 4 by cooperation of shapes, these blocking means being distributed on either side of the post 2, as is apparent in particular from Figure 4.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant :

  • on met en place l'une des enveloppes, par exemple l'enveloppe 3, sur la surface S du sol dans la position de la figure 1 ;
  • on place alors le piquet 2 en appui contre la surface 33 entre la rainure 33a et la saillie 33b, l'extrémité inférieure 2a étant reçue dans l'encoche 33 ;
  • on pose ensuite l'enveloppe 4 sur l'enveloppe 3 en disposant les branches 14 et 14' de part et d'autre du piquet 2, de sorte que celui-ci est reçu dans l'encoche 24, les branches 14 et 14' venant en appui sur la surface 3a alors que la partie inférieure de l'enveloppe 4 vient en appui contre les surface 13a et 13'a. Sous l'effet du poids de l'enveloppe 4, celle-ci glisse jusqu'à ce qu'elle se bloque contre le piquet 2 dans la position des figures 3 et 4. Dans cette position, les éléments 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b verrouillent ensemble les enveloppes 3 et 4, alors que le poids de l'enveloppe 4 exerce sur celle-ci un effort qui tend à la déplacer dans le sens de la flèche F du fait de l'orientation des plans P1 et P2.
The operation is as follows:
  • one of the envelopes is put in place, for example the envelope 3, on the surface S of the ground in the position of FIG. 1;
  • the stake 2 is then placed in abutment against the surface 33 between the groove 33 a and the projection 33 b , the lower end 2 a being received in the notch 33;
  • the envelope 4 is then placed on the envelope 3 by arranging the branches 14 and 14 ′ on either side of the stake 2, so that the latter is received in the notch 24, the branches 14 and 14 ′ coming to bear on the surface 3 a while the lower part of the casing 4 comes to bear against the surfaces 13 a and 13 ' a . Under the effect of the weight of the envelope 4, it slides until it locks against the stake 2 in the position of FIGS. 3 and 4. In this position, the elements 33 a , 33 b , 34 a , 34 b lock the envelopes 3 and 4 together, while the weight of the envelope 4 exerts on it a force which tends to move it in the direction of the arrow F due to the orientation of the planes P 1 and P 2 .

Lorsqu'un piquet 2' de diamètre plus important est utilisé, comme représenté aux figures 5 et 6, le déplacement de l'enveloppe 4 dans le sens de la flèche F a lieu jusqu'à ce que celle-ci vienne au contact du piquet 2' qu'elle plaque contre la surface 33 de l'enveloppe 3.When a 2 'diameter stake is larger used, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the displacement of envelope 4 in the direction of arrow F takes place until this comes into contact with the 2 'stake which it presses against the surface 33 of the envelope 3.

Ainsi, le diamètre du puits 25 est automatiquement ajusté en fonction du diamètre du piquet 2 ou 2' utilisé. Dans la configuration des figures 5 et 6, on note que l'enveloppe 4 dépasse à l'extérieur de l'enveloppe 3 sur la droite de la figure 5 alors qu'une partie de la surface 3a demeure accessible sur la gauche de cette figure.Thus, the diameter of the well 25 is automatically adjusted according to the diameter of the stake 2 or 2 'used. In the configuration of Figures 5 and 6, it is noted that the casing 4 extends outside of the envelope 3 on the right of Figure 5 while a part of the surface 3a is accessible on the left of this figure.

Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de déplacer le piquet 2 ou 2', l'enveloppe 4 est soulevée grâce à une poignée 4b formée à la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe 4. Une poignée identique 3b est formée dans la partie correspondante de l'enveloppe 3 qui repose sur la surface S. Les poignées 3b et 4b sont utilisées pour déplacer le dispositif 1.When it is necessary to move the stake 2 or 2 ', the casing 4 is raised by means of a handle 4 b formed in the upper part of the casing 4. An identical handle 3 b is formed in the corresponding part of the envelope 3 which rests on surface S. The handles 3 b and 4 b are used to move the device 1.

Dans le second mode de réalisation de l'invention, représenté aux figures 7 à 9, les éléments analogues à ceux du premier mode de réalisation portent des références identiques augmentées de 50. Le dispositif 51 de ce second mode de réalisation est destiné à être monté autour de l'extrémité inférieure 52a d'un piquet 52 et comprend deux enveloppes 53 et 54 du même type que les enveloppes 3 et 4. Les enveloppes 53 et 54 sont identiques et comprennent des surfaces 53a et 54a destinées à être placées en regard l'une de l'autre pour définir entre elles un puits 75 de réception du piquet 52.In the second embodiment of the invention, shown in Figures 7 to 9, elements similar to those of the first embodiment bear identical references increased by 50. The device 51 of this second embodiment is intended to be mounted around the lower end 52 a of a stake 52 and comprises two envelopes 53 and 54 of the same type as the envelopes 3 and 4. The envelopes 53 and 54 are identical and include surfaces 53 a and 54 a intended to be placed facing each other to define between them a well 75 for receiving the stake 52.

La surface 53a comprend une zone centrale 53b de réception du piquet, cette zone 53b se prolongeant vers le haut par une zone supérieure 53c et vers le bas, c'est-à-dire vers la surface S du sol, par une zone inférieure 53d. De la même manière, et comme représenté à la figure 9, la surface 54a comprend une zone de réception du piquet 2 formée de trois parties 54b, 54c et 54d. Les zones supérieure et inférieure 53c, 53d d'une part 54c, 54d d'autre part, sont évasées de façon à pouvoir recevoir le piquet 52 avec différentes orientations par rapport à une direction Z-Z' normale à la surface du sol S.The surface 53 a comprises a central zone 53 b for receiving the stake, this zone 53 b extending upwards by an upper zone 53 c and downwards, that is to say towards the surface S of the ground, by a lower area 53 d . In the same way, and as shown in FIG. 9, the surface 54 a comprises a reception area for the stake 2 formed of three parts 54 b , 54 c and 54 d . The upper and lower zones 53 c , 53 d on the one hand 54 c , 54 d on the other, are flared so as to be able to receive the stake 52 with different orientations with respect to a direction ZZ 'normal to the surface of the ground S.

Sur leurs surfaces extérieures respectives, les enveloppes 53 et 54 forment des poignées 53e et 54e permettant la manipulation des enveloppes 53 et 54.On their respective outer surfaces, the envelopes 53 and 54 form handles 53 e and 54 e allowing the handling of the envelopes 53 and 54.

Dans leur partie inférieure, c'est-à-dire dans leur partie la plus proche de la surface S, les enveloppes 53 et 54 forment deux surfaces 63a et 64a inclinées par rapport à la normale Z-Z'. On note β l'angle entre l'une des surfaces 63a ou 64a et la normale Z-Z', cet angle étant de l'ordre de 15°. Les surfaces 63a et 64a sont respectivement bordées par des surfaces également planes 63b et 64b qui les relient respectivement aux surfaces 53a et 54a.In their lower part, that is to say in their part closest to the surface S, the envelopes 53 and 54 form two surfaces 63 a and 64 a inclined with respect to the normal Z-Z '. We denote by β the angle between one of the surfaces 63 a or 64 a and the normal Z-Z ', this angle being of the order of 15 °. The surfaces 63 a and 64 a are respectively bordered by equally flat surfaces 63 b and 64 b which connect them respectively to the surfaces 53 a and 54 a .

Par ailleurs, une base 80 est destinée à être posée sur la surface S du sol. Cette base 80 peut être massique, comme représenté sur les figures, ou formée par une enveloppe creuse remplie d'un lest, comme les enveloppes 53 et 54. La base 80 définit un volume V de réception des parties inférieures des enveloppes 53 et 54. La base 80 est pourvue d'une entaille latérale 81 permettant la mise en place de l'extrémité 52a du piquet 52 au ras de la surface S. De part et d'autre de l'entaille 81, la base 80 comprend deux surfaces sensiblement planes 82 et 83 destinées à recevoir, en appui glissant, la surface 64a. A l'opposé des surfaces 82 et 83, la base 80 forme une surface plane 84 destinée à recevoir, en appui glissant, la surface 63a. Les surfaces 82 à 84 sont inclinées par rapport à la normale Z-Z' du même angle β que les surfaces 63a et 64a.Furthermore, a base 80 is intended to be placed on the surface S of the ground. This base 80 can be mass, as shown in the figures, or formed by a hollow envelope filled with ballast, like the envelopes 53 and 54. The base 80 defines a volume V for receiving the lower parts of the envelopes 53 and 54. The base 80 is provided with a lateral notch 81 allowing the positioning of the end 52 a of the stake 52 flush with the surface S. On either side of the notch 81, the base 80 comprises two surfaces substantially flat 82 and 83 intended to receive, by sliding support, the surface 64 a . In contrast to surfaces 82 and 83, the base 80 forms a flat surface 84 intended to receive, by sliding support, the surface 63 a . The surfaces 82 to 84 are inclined relative to the normal ZZ 'of the same angle β as the surfaces 63 a and 64 a .

La base 80 forme, entre les surfaces 82 et 84, une surface de transition 85 globalement verticale et légèrement plus haute que les surfaces 82 et 84. De la même manière, la base 80 forme une surface de transition 86 entre les surfaces 83 et 84. Les surfaces latérales 63b et 64b des enveloppes 53 et 54 viennent en appui contre les surfaces de transition 85 et 86 lorsque les parties inférieures des enveloppes sont insérées dans le volume V de la base 80. Ainsi, ces enveloppes sont maintenues en position par la coopération des surfaces 63a et 64a avec les surfaces de réception 82 à 84 et également par la coopération des surfaces 63b et 64b avec les surfaces de transition 85 et 86. Les surfaces 63b et 64b constituent donc des surfaces de portée secondaire des enveloppes 53 et 54.The base 80 forms, between the surfaces 82 and 84, a generally vertical transition surface 85 and slightly higher than the surfaces 82 and 84. Similarly, the base 80 forms a transition surface 86 between the surfaces 83 and 84 The lateral surfaces 63 b and 64 b of the envelopes 53 and 54 come to bear against the transition surfaces 85 and 86 when the lower parts of the envelopes are inserted in the volume V of the base 80. Thus, these envelopes are held in position by the cooperation of surfaces 63 a and 64 a with the reception surfaces 82 to 84 and also by the cooperation of surfaces 63 b and 64 b with the transition surfaces 85 and 86. The surfaces 63b and 64b therefore constitute bearing surfaces secondary of envelopes 53 and 54.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant :The operation is as follows:

On pose sur le sol la base 80 dans la position de la figure 7 et l'on insère le piquet 52 dans le volume V, comme représenté par la flèche F'. On dispose alors l'enveloppe 53 en appui sur la surface 84 d'un côté du piquet 52, puis la seconde enveloppe 54 sur les surfaces de réception opposées 82 et 83, de sorte que l'on atteint ainsi la configuration des figures 8 et 9 où les enveloppes sont immobilisées dans le volume V et où le piquet est maintenu en position dans le puits 75. On note que le piquet est incliné, ce qui est possible du fait de la géométrie des zones 53b, 53c, 53d, 54b, 54c et 54d. En fait, le piquet 52 peut être reçu dans le puits 75 dans différentes positions comprises entre la position représentée en traits pleins et la position représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 8.The base 80 is placed on the ground in the position of FIG. 7 and the stake 52 is inserted into the volume V, as represented by the arrow F '. The envelope 53 is then placed in abutment on the surface 84 on one side of the stake 52, then the second envelope 54 on the opposite receiving surfaces 82 and 83, so that the configuration of FIGS. 8 is thus reached and 9 where the envelopes are immobilized in the volume V and where the stake is held in position in the well 75. It is noted that the stake is inclined, which is possible due to the geometry of the zones 53 b , 53 c , 53 d , 54 b , 54 c and 54 d . In fact, the stake 52 can be received in the well 75 in different positions between the position shown in solid lines and the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 8.

Comme précédemment, le dispositif 51 est utilisable avec des piquets de diamètres différents. En effet, si le diamètre du piquet 53 est plus important, les surfaces 53a et 54a ne viennent pas en appui l'une contre l'autre comme représenté à la figure 8, mais sont maintenues à distance par le piquet lui-même, l'engagement des parties inférieures des enveloppes 53 et 54 à l'intérieur de la base 80 étant alors moins important, dans la mesure où les surfaces 63a et 64a portent sur une partie seulement des surfaces 82 à 84.As before, the device 51 can be used with stakes of different diameters. In fact, if the diameter of the stake 53 is larger, the surfaces 53 a and 54 a do not come to bear against one another as shown in FIG. 8, but are kept at a distance by the stake itself , the engagement of the lower parts of the envelopes 53 and 54 inside the base 80 then being less important, insofar as the surfaces 63 a and 64 a relate to only part of the surfaces 82 to 84.

Comme précédemment, le poids propre des enveloppes 53 et 54 confère une excellente stabilité du dispositif puisqu'il tend à faire déplacer ces enveloppes parallèlement aux surfaces 63a et 64a dans le sens des flèches F '' à la figure 8.As before, the self-weight of the envelopes 53 and 54 gives excellent stability of the device since it tends to cause these envelopes to move parallel to the surfaces 63 a and 64 a in the direction of the arrows F '' in FIG. 8.

Les enveloppes 53 et 54 sont identiques, ce qui facilite la fabrication du dispositif.The envelopes 53 and 54 are identical, which facilitates the manufacture of the device.

Selon une variante avantageuse de l'invention qui n'est pas représentée, le puits 25 du premier mode de réalisation peut être divergent vers le haut et vers le bas, grâce à une géométrie adaptée des encoches 23 et 24 et des surfaces 33 et 34. Ce puits 25 peut ainsi recevoir le pied 2 en position inclinée par rapport à une perpendiculaire à la surface du sol S, comme le puits 75 du second mode de réalisation.According to an advantageous variant of the invention which is not not shown, well 25 of the first embodiment can be divergent up and down, thanks to a adapted geometry of the notches 23 and 24 and of the surfaces 33 and 34. This well 25 can thus receive the foot 2 in position inclined to a perpendicular to the ground surface S, like well 75 of the second embodiment.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation décrits, les cales servant au blocage du piquet en position sont des enveloppes creuses. Il est bien entendu que ces cales 3, 4, 53 ou 54 peuvent être des pièces pleines et plus généralement, toutes pièces de blocage présentant une géométrie conforme à l'invention. Cependant, l'utilisation d'enveloppes creuses permet d'obtenir des cales pouvant être lestées uniquement sur leur site d'utilisation, voire vidées après utilisation, ce qui présente un avantage considérable pour leur transport et leur manutention.In the two embodiments described, the shims used to lock the stake in position are envelopes hollow. It is understood that these wedges 3, 4, 53 or 54 can be solid pieces and more generally, all locking pieces having a geometry according to the invention. However, the use of hollow envelopes allows obtain wedges that can be ballasted only on their site of use, or even emptied after use, which has a considerable advantage for their transport and handling.
