Abstract

The foot consists of two hollow moulded plastic blocks (3, 4), each having a recess (13, 14) with an access slot (23, 24) for the post or mast, and interlocking faces (3a, 4a) which allow them to be fitted one on top of the other in different positions. After inserting the post or mast through the aligned slots in the two blocks the upper block is rotated relative to the lower one so that the slots are offset at an angle to one another and the post or mast is held in an inner cavity that can be varied in size by rotating the upper block.

Description

L'invention a trait à un dispositif formant pied pour piquet ou mât, notamment pour pied de tonnelle ou de panneau et à un procédé de fermeture d'un tel dispositif.The invention relates to a device forming a foot for stake or mast, in particular for arbor or panel base and to a method for closing such a device.

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 forme complémentaire formant chacune un logement de réception dudit piquet ou mât, caractérisé en ce que ces cales sont aptes à être superposées dans différentes configurations par rapport à une normale à une surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif, les logements des cales étant plus ou moins en recouvrement en fonction de la configuration des cales superposées.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 shape each forming a housing for receiving said stake or mast, characterized in that these wedges are suitable for being superimposed in different configurations compared to a normal to a surface on which the device is placed, the wedge housings being more or less overlapped in depending on the configuration of the overlapping shims.

Grâce à l'invention, les différentes configurations obtenues par superposition des cales permettent d'ajuster le diamètre apparent d'un puits de réception, formé par les logements des deux cales en superposition, en fonction de la section et/ou du diamètre du piquet ou mât.Thanks to the invention, the different configurations obtained by superimposing the shims allow to adjust the apparent diameter of a receiving well, formed by the housings of the two wedges in superposition, depending on the section and / or diameter of the stake or mast.

Selon un premier aspect avantageux de l'invention, les cales sont formées par des enveloppes creuses obtenues par soufflage, moulage par injection, roto-moulage ou thermoformage de matière plastique. Ces enveloppes creuses sont aisément transportables et manipulables tant qu'elles ne sont pas lestées, alors que leur poids est suffisant pour remplir la fonction recherchée lorsqu'elles sont lestées.According to a first advantageous aspect of the invention, the wedges are formed by hollow envelopes obtained by blow molding, injection molding, rotational molding or thermoforming of plastic. These hollow envelopes are easily transportable and easy to handle as long as they are not ballasted, while their weight is sufficient to fill the function sought when ballasted.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, le logement de chaque cale est globalement cylindrique et accessible par une ouverture longitudinale s'étendant sur toute la hauteur de la cale. Le piquet ou mât peut donc être introduit dans le fond du logement par un côté de chaque cale. On peut prévoir que le logement de chaque cale inclut un axe central de la cale, normal à la surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif. En particulier, les cales sont avantageusement aptes à être superposées dans des configurations telles que leurs axes centraux respectifs sont confondus. Dans ce cas, les parties des logements situées au niveau de ces axes centraux demeurent alignées de façon à former un puits de réception du piquet ou mât, dans toutes les configurations obtenues par superposition des cales. On peut en outre prévoir que les cales sont aptes à être superposées avec des orientations différentes par rapport à leurs axes centraux confondus, les ouvertures de leurs logements respectifs étant orientées différemment. Ceci permet d'obtenir un verrouillage efficace du piquet ou mât à l'intérieur du puits formé conjointement par les logements des deux cales superposées.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the housing of each wedge is generally cylindrical and accessible by a longitudinal opening extending over the entire wedge height. The stake or mast can therefore be introduced in the bottom of the housing by one side of each shim. We can provide that the housing of each hold includes a central axis of the wedge, normal to the surface on which the device is placed. In particular, the wedges are advantageously suitable for be superimposed in configurations such as their axes respective central offices are combined. In this case, the parties dwellings located at these central axes remain aligned to form a stake receiving well, or mast, in all configurations obtained by superposition wedges. It can also be provided that the wedges are suitable for be superimposed with different orientations relative to to their central axes combined, the openings of their respective housings being oriented differently. this allows obtain an effective locking of the stake or mast inside of the well formed jointly by the housings of the two overlapping shims.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, les cales sont pourvues de moyens coopérants d'immobilisation relative par coopération de formes. Ces moyens d'immobilisation sont avantageusement formés par des reliefs ménagés par les surfaces en contact des cales.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the wedges are provided with cooperative means of relative immobilization by cooperation of forms. These immobilization means are advantageously formed by reliefs formed by the surfaces in contact with the shims.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, les cales sont identiques et aptes à être montés tête-bêche en superposition. Ceci permet d'utiliser un unique moule pour la fabrication des cales, et de prévoir des moyens d'immobilisation par coopération de formes sur une seule face des cales. On conserve ainsi un aspect esthétique satisfaisant sur les autres faces, à savoir les faces visibles des cales une fois le dispositif monté.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the wedges are identical and able to be mounted head to tail in superposition. This allows the use of a single mold for manufacturing holds, and to provide means of immobilization by cooperation of shapes on one side of the wedges. We keep thus a satisfactory aesthetic appearance on the other faces, namely the visible faces of the shims once the device mounted.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de fermeture d'un dispositif tel que précédemment décrit et, plus spécifiquement, un procédé qui consiste à :

  • superposer les deux cales de telle sorte que les logements et leurs ouvertures respectives soient superposées
  • introduire le piquet ou mât dans les logements et
  • faire tourner la cale supérieure autour d'un axe normal à la surface sur laquelle est posé le dispositif, de telle sorte que les ouvertures soient décalées angulairement par rapport à cet axe.
The invention also relates to a method for closing a device as described above and, more specifically, to a method which consists in:
  • superimpose the two shims so that the housings and their respective openings are superimposed
  • insert the stake or mast into the housings and
  • rotate the upper shim around an axis normal to the surface on which the device is placed, so that the openings are angularly offset from this axis.

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 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 :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du dispositif de la figure 1 en position montée autour d'un piquet de tonnelle ;
  • la figure 3 est une coupe selon la ligne III-III à la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 4 est une coupe selon la ligne IV-IV à la figure 3 ;
  • la figure 5 est une coupe analogue à la figure 4 lors d'une première étape de mise en place du dispositif de la figure 1 et
  • la figure 6 est une vue analogue à la figure 4 lorsque un mât de diamètre plus important doit être immobilisé.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of an embodiment of a device forming a stand for a stake or mast in accordance with its principle, given only by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a device according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1 in the mounted position around an arbor stake;
  • Figure 3 is a section along line III-III in Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Figure 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a section similar to FIG. 4 during a first step of fitting the device of FIG. 1 and
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 4 when a mast of larger diameter must be immobilized.

Le dispositif 1 est destiné à être monté autour de l'extrémité inférieure 2a d'un piquet 2 formé par un 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 is intended to be mounted around the lower end 2 a of a stake 2 formed by a metal tube, such as a stake of the tent mast type, constituting 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 réalisées par moulage par injection, roto-moulage, thermoformage ou 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 made by injection molding, rotational molding, thermoforming or any other method of shaping a thermoplastic and possibly include a line of ultrasonic welding.

Les enveloppes 3 et 4 sont chacune pourvues d'un orifice non représenté de remplissage, destiné à être obturé par un bouchon, également non représenté. Les enveloppes 3 et 4 peuvent ainsi être partiellement ou totalement remplies d'un matériau de lestage L, tel que du sable, de l'eau ou du ciment.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 ballast material L, such as sand, water or cement.

Chaque enveloppe 3 ou 4 définit un logement 13, respectivement 14, de forme globalement cylindrique et centré sur un axe X13-X'13, respectivement X14-X'14. Le logement 13 est accessible à travers une ouverture longitudinale 23 ménagée sur toute la hauteur H de la cale 3 avec une largeur l suffisante pour permettre le passage de piquets ou mâts de diamètre compris entre 18 et 50 mm. A l'exception du logement 13 et de l'ouverture 23, la cale 3 est globalement à symétrie de révolution et l'on note X3-X'3 son axe de symétrie. L'axe X13-X'13 est situé entre l'axe X3-X'3 et l'ouverture 23 et l'on note d la distance séparant ces deux axes qui sont globalement parallèles. L'axe X3-X'3 est compris dans le logement 13, car la distance d est inférieure au rayon r du logement 13.Each envelope 3 or 4 defines a housing 13, respectively 14, of generally cylindrical shape and centered on an axis X 13 -X '13 , respectively X 14 -X' 14 . The housing 13 is accessible through a longitudinal opening 23 formed over the entire height H of the wedge 3 with a width l sufficient to allow the passage of stakes or masts of diameter between 18 and 50 mm. With the exception of the housing 13 and the opening 23, the wedge 3 is generally with symmetry of revolution and X 3 -X ′ 3 denotes its axis of symmetry. The axis X 13 -X '13 is located between the axis X 3 -X' 3 and the opening 23 and we denote by d the distance separating these two axes which are generally parallel. The axis X 3 -X ' 3 is included in the housing 13, because the distance d is less than the radius r of the housing 13.

La surface supérieure 3a de l'enveloppe 3 porte des dents ou reliefs 33 régulièrement répartis autour de l'axe X3, X'3.The upper surface 3 a of the envelope 3 carries teeth or reliefs 33 regularly distributed around the axis X 3 , X ′ 3 .

L'enveloppe 4 est identique à l'enveloppe 3 et l'on note X4-X'4 son axe central, X14-X'14 l'axe central du logement 14 et 24 l'ouverture longitudinale d'accès au logement 14. Des dents 34 sont prévues sur la surface inférieure 4a de l'enveloppe 4, comme représenté à la figure 3.The envelope 4 is identical to the envelope 3 and we denote X 4 -X ' 4 its central axis, X 14 -X' 14 the central axis of the housing 14 and 24 the longitudinal opening of access to the housing 14. teeth 34 are provided on the bottom surface 4a of the casing 4, as shown in Figure 3.

Les axes X3-X'3, X4-X'4, X13-X'13 et X14-X'14 sont globalement normaux à la surface S sur laquelle est posé le dispositif 1 dans la configuration des figures 2 à 4.The axes X 3 -X ' 3 , X 4 -X' 4 , X 13 -X '13 and X 14 -X' 14 are generally normal to the surface S on which the device 1 is placed in the configuration of FIGS. 2 to 4.

Sur leur surface extérieure, et à l'opposé des ouvertures 23 et 24, les enveloppes 3 et 4 forment une poignée 43, respectivement 44, comme cela apparaít aux figures 2 et 3. Ces poignées reçoivent l'extrémité des doigts d'un utilisateur en vue de la manipulation des cales 3 et 4.On their outer surface, and opposite the openings 23 and 24, the envelopes 3 and 4 form a handle 43, respectively 44, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. These handles receive the tip of a user's fingers in view of handling wedges 3 and 4.

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

On superpose les enveloppes 3 et 4 en mettant en contact leur surface 3a et 4a et en alignant les ouvertures 23 et 24, de sorte que les logements 13 et 14 et leurs axes respectifs X13-X'13 et X14-X'14 sont alignés. Les axes X3-X'3 et X4-X'4 sont alors également alignés. On est alors dans la position de la figure 5.The casings 3 and 4 are superposed by contacting their surface 3a and 4a and by aligning the openings 23 and 24, so that the housings 13 and 14 and their respective axes X 13 -X '13 and X 14 -X '14 are aligned. The axes X 3 -X ' 3 and X 4 -X' 4 are then also aligned. We are then in the position of FIG. 5.

Dans cette configuration, il est possible d'introduire le piquet 2 dans le puits 15 formé par les logements 13 et 14 superposés, comme indiqué par la flèche F. Le piquet 2 peut être plaqué contre les surfaces de fond des logements 13 et 14.In this configuration, it is possible to introduce the stake 2 in the well 15 formed by the housings 13 and 14 superimposed, as indicated by the arrow F. The stake 2 can be pressed against the bottom surfaces of the housings 13 and 14.

Il est alors possible de faire tourner l'enveloppe 4 autour de l'axe X4-X'4 alors que l'enveloppe 3 demeure immobile sur la surface S du sol. Du fait de cette rotation et compte tenu de ce que la distance d entre les axes X3-X'3 et X13-X'13 d'une part, X4-X'4 et X14-X'14 d'autre part, est non nulle, les logements 13 et 14 ne sont plus que partiellement en recouvrement, c'est-à-dire superposés. Le diamètre apparent du puits 15 diminue au fur et à mesure de la rotation de l'enveloppe 4 par rapport à l'enveloppe 3 jusqu'à ce que les ouvertures 23 et 24 soient diamétralement opposées par rapport aux axes X3-X'3 et X4-X'4 qui demeurent confondus. On est alors dans la position des figures 2 à 4 où le piquet 2 est maintenu en position à l'intérieur du puits 15.It is then possible to rotate the envelope 4 around the axis X 4 -X ' 4 while the envelope 3 remains stationary on the surface S of the ground. Due to this rotation and taking into account that the distance d between the axes X 3 -X ' 3 and X 13 -X' 13 on the one hand, X 4 -X ' 4 and X 14 -X' 14 d ' on the other hand, is not zero, the housings 13 and 14 are only partially overlapped, that is to say superimposed. The apparent diameter of the well 15 decreases as the envelope 4 rotates relative to the envelope 3 until the openings 23 and 24 are diametrically opposite with respect to the axes X 3 -X ' 3 and X 4 -X ' 4 which remain combined. We are then in the position of FIGS. 2 to 4 where the stake 2 is held in position inside the well 15.

Le piquet 2 peut être maintenu en position avec plusieurs inclinaisons possibles par rapport à l'axe X3-X'3 ou X4-X'4, en fonction de la géométrie de l'ensemble auquel il appartient, car les logements 13 et 14 autorisent un débattement du piquet 2.The stake 2 can be held in position with several possible inclinations relative to the axis X 3 -X ' 3 or X 4 -X' 4 , depending on the geometry of the assembly to which it belongs, since the housings 13 and 14 allow the post 2 to travel.

Dans le cas où un mât 2' de diamètre plus important que le piquet 2 est introduit dans les logements 13 et 14, comme représenté en traits mixtes à la figure 5, la rotation R de l'enveloppe 4 est effectuée jusqu'à ce que les axes X13-X'13 et X14-X'14 soient décalés autour de l'axe X3-X'3 ou X4-X'4 d'un angle α correspondant à l'appui des surfaces intérieures des logements 13 et 14 en deux points opposés de la circonférence du mât 2', référencés respectivement A13 et A14 à la figure 6.In the case where a mast 2 ′ of larger diameter than the stake 2 is introduced into the housings 13 and 14, as shown in phantom in Figure 5, the rotation R of the casing 4 is carried out until the axes X 13 -X '13 and X 14 -X' 14 are offset around the axis X 3 -X ' 3 or X 4 -X' 4 by an angle α corresponding to the support of the interior surfaces of the housings 13 and 14 at two opposite points on the circumference of the mast 2 ', respectively referenced A 13 and A 14 in FIG. 6.

Ceci correspond au blocage du mât 2' à l'intérieur du puits 15 ainsi formé, ce puits ayant un diamètre défini par la distance entre les points A13 et A14 qui est égale au diamètre nominal du mât 2'.This corresponds to the blocking of the mast 2 'inside the well 15 thus formed, this well having a diameter defined by the distance between the points A 13 and A 14 which is equal to the nominal diameter of the mast 2'.

Compte tenu de ce que les axes X3-X'3 et X4-X'4 sont respectivement localisés dans les logements 13 et 14, il existe toujours une zone de recouvrement de ces logements 13 et 14, cette zone correspondant au puits 15 de réception du piquet 2 ou du mât 2'. La section de la zone de recouvrement est variable en fonction de l'orientation angulaire de l'ouverture 23 par rapport à l'ouverture 24, c'est-à-dire de l'angle α défini par les axes X13-X'13 et X14-X'14 autour des axes X3-X'3 ou X4-X'4.Given that the axes X 3 -X ' 3 and X 4 -X' 4 are respectively located in the housings 13 and 14, there is always an overlap zone for these housings 13 and 14, this zone corresponding to the well 15 receiving stake 2 or 2 'mast. The section of the overlap zone is variable as a function of the angular orientation of the opening 23 relative to the opening 24, that is to say of the angle α defined by the axes X 13 -X ' 13 and X 14 -X '14 around the axes X 3 -X' 3 or X 4 -X ' 4 .

Les axes X3-X'3 et X4-X'4 sont sensiblement normaux à la surface S sur laquelle est posé le dispositif 1, car les surfaces 3a et 4a d'une part et les surfaces opposées 3b et 4b d'autre part sont globalement orthogonales à ces axes. Plus le diamètre du piquet 2 est faible, puis l'angle α de contact des surfaces internes des logements 13 et 14 avec le piquet est proche de 180°, étant entendu que si le piquet a un diamètre inférieur au diamètre D du puits 15 dans la configuration de la figure 4, il suffit de conserver les ouvertures 23 et 24 diamétralement opposées, c'est-à-dire de choisir une valeur de l'angle α égale à 180°. Plus le diamètre du piquet ou mât est important, plus la valeur de l'angle α est faible.The axes X 3 -X ' 3 and X 4 -X' 4 are substantially normal to the surface S on which the device 1 is placed, since the surfaces 3 a and 4 a on the one hand and the opposite surfaces 3 b and 4 b on the other hand are generally orthogonal to these axes. The smaller the diameter of the stake 2, then the angle α of contact of the internal surfaces of the housings 13 and 14 with the stake is close to 180 °, it being understood that if the stake has a diameter less than the diameter D of the well 15 in the configuration of FIG. 4, it suffices to keep the diametrically opposite openings 23 and 24, that is to say to choose a value of the angle α equal to 180 °. The larger the diameter of the stake or mast, the smaller the value of the angle α.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les cales servant au blocage du piquet en position sont des enveloppes creuses. Il est bien entendu que ces cales 3 ou 4 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 embodiment described, the shims used for locking the stake in position are hollow envelopes. he it is understood that these wedges 3 or 4 can be parts full and more generally, all blocking parts having a geometry according to the invention. However, the use of hollow envelopes makes it possible to obtain shims which can be ballasted only on their site of use, or even emptied after use, which has a considerable advantage for their transport and handling.
