Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de garniture de la structure inférieure d'un meuble tel qu'un lit ou un canapé ainsi qu'un bandeau de tissu pour former une telle garniture.The present invention relates to a method of filling the lower structure of a piece of furniture such as a bed or a sofa and a fabric strip to form such a lining.
Depuis longtemps, on a cherché à cacher des structures inférieures de meubles considérées comme inesthétiques, telles que les sommiers de lits ou des structures de canapés. C'est ainsi que
Il serait souhaitable de disposer d'une garniture de structure inférieure d'un meuble tel qu'un lit ou d'un canapé, facile à fabriquer, bon marché, polyvalente quant aux dimensions à recouvrir et esthétique.It would be desirable to have a structural lining inferior furniture such as a bed or sofa, easy to manufacture, inexpensive, versatile in terms of dimensions to cover and aesthetic.
Après de longues recherches, la demanderesse a découvert un procédé de garniture de la structure inférieure d'un meuble et une garniture utilisée à une telle fin, essentiellement fondés sur la création d'un pli creux réglable quant à la largeur des lés plissés grâce à des ensembles de fixation complémentaires juxtaposés.After extensive research, the Applicant has discovered a method of filling the lower structure of a piece of furniture and a lining used for such a purpose, essentially based on the creation of an adjustable hollow fold as to the width of the folded strips thanks to complementary fastening assemblies juxtaposed.
C'est pourquoi la présente invention a pour objet un procédé de garniture de la structure inférieure d'un meuble tel qu'un lit ou un canapé dans lequel on recouvre les flancs de ladite structure avec un bandeau allongé généralement rectangulaire, caractérisé en ce que, pour régler la hauteur dudit bandeau sur le flanc, et adapter la longueur dudit bandeau à la taille de la structure à recouvrir,
- on munit le bord de la partie supérieure du bandeau d'au moins un système de dispositifs d'accrochage comprenant une série de dispositifs d'accrochage mâles ou femelles sur une longueur d'au moins 5 cm, encadrée de chaque côté dans la direction de la longueur du bandeau par une série de dispositifs d'accrochage respectivement femelles ou mâles complémentaires sur une longueur d'au moins 5 cm chacun,
- on bloque sur la structure les extrémités du bandeau et
- on replie le bandeau au niveau du système de dispositifs d'accrochage en les faisant coopérer pour former un pli creux, pour ajuster la longueur du bandeau à la longueur de la structure à habiller, pour constituer, sur la longueur de la structure, un rebord venant prendre appui sur le haut de celle-ci, et pour ajuster la hauteur du bandeau à la hauteur de la structure.
- the edge of the upper part of the headband is provided with at least one fastening device comprising a series of male or female fastening devices over a length of at least 5 cm, framed on each side in the direction of the length of the headband by a series of complementary female or male coupling devices over a length of at least 5 cm each,
- we block on the structure the ends of the headband and
- the strip is folded at the level of the fastening device system by making them cooperate to form a hollow fold, to adjust the length of the strip to the length of the structure to be dressed, to constitute, along the length of the structure, a flange coming to bear on the top of it, and to adjust the height of the band at the height of the structure.
Le meuble peut être un meuble d'assise tel qu'un canapé ou un fauteuil, un meuble de couchage tel qu'un lit, ou encore notamment une table ou tablette. L'invention s'applique tout autant aux cantonnières et baldaquins.The piece of furniture can be a piece of furniture such as a sofa or an armchair, a sleeping furniture such as a bed, or even a table or tablet. The invention applies equally to valances and canopies.
La longueur du bandeau pourra aller par exemple selon l'utilisation de 50 cm à 15 m environ, notamment de 60 cm à 12 m environ, de préférence de 70 cm à 10 m environ et tout particulièrement de 2 m à 8 m environ. Dans le cas d'un lit une place, cette longueur pourra aller par exemple de 4,5 m à 8 m environ, notamment de 5 m à 7m environ. Dans le cas d'un lit deux places, cette longueur pourra aller par exemple de 5,5 m à 10 m environ, notamment de 6,3 cm à 8 m environ et tout particulièrement de 6,3 m à 7 m environ. Dans le cas d'un canapé, cette longueur pourra être analogue à celle pour un lit une place. Les longueurs indiquées ci-dessus comprennent la longueur de tissu nécessaire à la réalisation de quelques plis creux décoratifs. Elles seront généralement inférieures si l'on ne veut réaliser qu'un pli fonctionnel, c'est à dire le seul pli nécessaire pour ajuster le bandeau à diverses dimensions de structure.The length of the band may be for example according to the use of 50 cm to 15 m, in particular from 60 cm to 12 m, preferably from 70 cm to 10 m and especially from 2 m to 8 m approximately. In the case of a single bed, this length may range for example from 4.5 m to 8 m, including 5 m to 7m approximately. In the case of a double bed, this length can range, for example, from about 5.5 m to about 10 m, especially from about 6.3 cm to about 8 m, and particularly from about 6.3 m to about 7 m. In the case of a sofa, this length can be similar to that for a single bed. The lengths indicated above include the length of fabric needed to make some decorative hollow pleats. They will generally be lower if one wants to achieve a functional fold, that is to say the only fold required to adjust the band to various structural dimensions.
La hauteur du bandeau pourra aller par exemple de 15 cm à 1,5 m environ. Dans le cas d'un lit, cette hauteur pourra aller par exemple de 15 cm à 1 m environ, notamment de 30 cm à 80 cm environ et tout particulièrement de 40 cm à 60 cm environ. Dans le cas d'un canapé, cette hauteur pourra aller par exemple de 15 cm à 60 cm environ, notamment de 20 cm à 50 cm environ. Dans le cas d'un guéridon, cette hauteur pourra aller par exemple de 60 cm à 1,5 m environ, notamment de 70 cm à 1 m environ.The height of the band can go for example from 15 cm to 1.5 m approximately. In the case of a bed, this height may range for example from 15 cm to 1 m, in particular from 30 cm to 80 cm and especially from 40 cm to 60 cm. In the case of a sofa, this height can go for example from 15 cm to 60 cm, including 20 cm to 50 cm. In the case of a pedestal table, this height may range for example from 60 cm to 1.5 m, including about 70 cm to 1 m.
Par "flanc de la structure", l'on entend les côtés verticaux inférieurs de la structure, par exemple le sommier d'un lit, ces flancs comprenant éventuellement un espace vide constitué par exemple par les pieds du meuble. Le meuble pourra avoir toutes formes, par exemple circulaire, et en particulier rectangulaire comme c'est le cas d'un lit ou d'un canapé de forme classique. On appelle "partie supérieure du bandeau" la partie du bandeau la plus éloignée du sol ou du support sur lequel est posé le meuble.By "sidewall of the structure" is meant the lower vertical sides of the structure, for example the bed base of a bed, these flanks optionally comprising a void space constituted for example by the legs of the furniture. The furniture can have any shape, for example circular, and in particular rectangular as is the case of a classic bed or sofa. The "upper part of the headband" is the part of the headband furthest from the floor or the support on which the furniture is placed.
Sur ce bord supérieur, on a installé une première série de dispositifs mâles ou femelles. Cette première série de dispositifs mâles pourra par exemple être installée sur une longueur de 5 à 40 cm, notamment 10 à 20 cm. Cette première série de dispositifs est encadrée par des séries de dispositifs respectivement femelles ou mâles complémentaires. Ces secondes séries de dispositifs complémentaires s'étaleront sur une longueur de préférence comprise entre 10 et 30 cm, notamment 15 et 20 cm. L'ensemble forme un système de dispositifs d'accrochage.On this upper edge, a first set of male or female devices has been installed. This first series of male devices may for example be installed over a length of 5 to 40 cm, in particular 10 to 20 cm. This first series of devices is framed by series of devices respectively female or male complementary. These second series of complementary devices will spread over a length preferably between 10 and 30 cm, especially 15 and 20 cm. The set forms a system of hooking devices.
A titre de dispositifs mâles ou femelles, on peut utiliser tous les dispositifs classiquement utilisés en couture et décoration, notamment les boutons-pression, les boucles et crochets métalliques. Dans un tel cas, on pourra par exemple installer une série de 2 à 10 boutons-pression femelles espacés chacun d'environ 1 cm dans la direction de la longueur du bandeau, encadrée par deux séries de par exemple 10 à 15 boutons pressions mâles correspondants alignés avec la série femelle et donc dans la direction de la longueur du bandeau, de préférence de même espacement que les boutons-pression femelles.As male or female devices, one can use all the devices conventionally used in sewing and decoration, including snaps, loops and metal hooks. In such a case, may for example install a series of 2 to 10 female snaps spaced each about 1 cm in the direction of the length of the strip, flanked by two series of for example 10 to 15 corresponding male snaps aligned with the female series and therefore in the direction of the length of the band, preferably of the same spacing as the female snaps.
Toutefois, dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre, on utilise à titre de dispositif d'accrochage des bandes auto-agrippantes telles que celles connues sous la marque velcro® comprenant une multitude de dispositifs d'accrochage.However, in preferred conditions of implementation, as is used in the attachment device of the self-gripping strips such as those known under the Velcro ® trademark comprising a plurality of attachment devices.
Dans des conditions d'utilisation préférentielles, on encadre une bande à boucles à l'aide de deux bandes à crochets pour former un système de dispositifs d'accrochage.Under preferential conditions of use, a loop band is framed with two hook strips to form a fastener system.
Ainsi, lors de la réalisation d'un pli creux, on pourra faire en sorte qu'une partie des crochets reste apparente tandis que l'autre partie des crochets coopérera avec la bande à boucles. Ces crochets ou équivalents (boutons-pression, crochets ou autres) pourront coopérer avec notamment un lé de tissu comportant aux emplacements adéquats des dispositifs de fixation complémentaires. Dans le cas de l'utilisation de bandes auto-agrippantes, on pourra ainsi utiliser un tissu à boucles recouvrant par exemple toute la surface du sommier. En outre, l'utilisation de bandes auto-agrippantes permet un réglage en continu, qui n'est pas lié à l'espacement des dispositifs.Thus, during the production of a hollow fold, it will be possible to ensure that one part of the hooks remains visible while the other part of the hooks will cooperate with the loop band. These hooks or equivalents (snaps, hooks or other) may cooperate with in particular a web of tissue having in the appropriate locations complementary fastening devices. In the case of the use of self-gripping strips, it will thus be possible to use a loop fabric covering for example the entire surface of the bed base. In addition, the use of Velcro strips allows a continuous adjustment, which is not related to the spacing of the devices.
Dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, on prévoit sur le bandeau deux plis supplémentaires tel que des plis creux. Ceux-ci pourront être fixes. On pourra alors les installer notamment de part et d'autre du système de dispositifs mâles et femelles ci-dessus décrit. Ainsi, on pourra grâce à la formation d'un pli creux réglable plus ou moins large ajuster les plis creux fixes au niveau des angles de la structure à recouvrir. Mais l'homme de l'art comprend que ces plis creux peuvent également être prévus réglables, et dans ce cas là, ils adopteront avantageusement la même structure que ci-dessus. L'utilisation de plis creux réglables permet d'augmenter l'amplitude de réglage de la garniture.Under preferential conditions of implementation of the invention, there is provided on the strip two additional plies such as hollow folds. These can be fixed. We can then install them in particular on both sides of the system of male and female devices described above. Thus, it will be possible through the formation of an adjustable hollow fold more or less wide adjust fixed hollow folds at the corners of the structure to be covered. But those skilled in the art understand that these hollow folds can also be provided adjustable, and in this case, they will advantageously adopt the same structure as above. The use of adjustable hollow folds makes it possible to increase the adjustment amplitude of the packing.
Dans encore d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les plis supplémentaires sont fixes et comportent une série de dispositifs mâles et une série de dispositifs femelles situés de part et d'autre du pli, et on les fait coopérer par pliage et accrochage pour former un coin pour recevoir un coin de la structure. Ainsi, on peut former sur le bandeau un coin dont les angles font 90° et peuvent donc parfaitement s'adapter pour recevoir un coin d'un sommier de lit par exemple.In still other preferential conditions of implementation of the invention, the additional folds are fixed and comprise a series of male devices and a series of female devices located on either side of the fold, and are made to cooperate by folding and hooking to form a corner for receiving a corner of the structure. Thus, one can form on the band a corner whose angles are 90 ° and can therefore perfectly adapt to receive a corner of a bed frame for example.
Dans toujours d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'on prévoit sur le bandeau d'autres systèmes supplémentaires de dispositifs d'accrochage. Ainsi, on augmente encore plus l'amplitude de réglage de la garniture. Ainsi, basiquement, la garniture selon l'invention comprendra un pli creux réglable mais elle pourra comprendre en outre deux plis creux fixes ou réglables, et en plus par exemple deux, quatre ou six plis supplémentaires, réglables ou non.In still other preferred conditions of implementation of the invention is provided on the band other additional systems of attachment devices. Thus, the adjustment amplitude of the lining is further increased. Thus, basically, the lining according to the invention will comprise an adjustable hollow fold but it may further comprise two fixed or adjustable hollow folds, and in addition for example two, four or six additional folds, adjustable or not.
Des conditions préférées particulièrement adaptées à un lit sont :
- un pli creux réglable,
- un pli creux réglable plus deux plis fixes,
- un pli creux réglable plus deux plis réglables,
- un pli creux réglable plus deux plis fixes ou réglables plus quatre autres plis fixes ou réglables.
- an adjustable hollow fold,
- an adjustable hollow fold plus two fixed folds,
- an adjustable hollow fold plus two adjustable folds,
- an adjustable hollow fold plus two fixed or adjustable folds plus four other fixed or adjustable folds.
Cette dernière combinaison correspond à un pli « central » dans la largeur d'un lit, deux plis de coins, deux fois deux plis fixes dans la longueur de chaque côté. Pour un canapé on pourra notamment utiliser trois plis creux réglables ou un réglable plus deux plis fixes.This last combination corresponds to a "central" fold in the width of a bed, two folds of corners, two times two folds fixed in the length of each side. For a sofa can be used in particular three adjustable hollow folds or an adjustable plus two fixed folds.
Dans le cas d'une structure allongée, il est souhaitable de maintenir fermement la partie supérieure du bandeau pour éviter que celui n'ait une hauteur irrégulière.In the case of an elongated structure, it is desirable to firmly hold the upper portion of the headband to prevent it from having an irregular height.
C'est pourquoi, dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, on installe des éléments de fixation pour relier des lés du bandeau installés sur deux côtés opposés de la structure.This is why, under preferential conditions of implementation of the invention, fastening elements are installed to connect strips of the strip installed on two opposite sides of the structure.
On pourra utiliser des systèmes bien connus de l'état de la technique comme des systèmes à pinces dont la longueur est réglable. Toutefois, dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre, on met à profit des éléments de fixation existant sur le bandeau mais non utilisés. Notamment, dans le cas où des dispositifs mâles et/ou femelles restent apparents sur le rebord du bandeau après garniture de la structure, on installe des éléments de fixation de manière à coopérer avec les dispositif inutilisés. Bien évidemment, dans le cas où aucun dispositif mâle ou femelle ne resterait apparent, on pourrait munir le rebord du bandeau de tels dispositifs et procéder de même.Well-known systems of the state of the art can be used such as clamp systems whose length is adjustable. However, under preferential conditions of implementation, we take advantage of fasteners existing on the band but not used. In particular, in in the case where male and / or female devices remain visible on the rim of the strip after lining the structure, fixing elements are installed so as to cooperate with the unused devices. Of course, in the case where no male or female device would remain apparent, it could provide the edge of the headband such devices and proceed in the same way.
Si on peut utiliser pour ce faire une série de sangles, dans des conditions préférentielles de réalisation, les éléments de fixation sont solidaires et se présentent en fait sous forme d'un lé de tissu comportant aux emplacements appropriés les dispositifs de fixation nécessaires. Par exemple pour un lit, ce lé aura environ la taille du sommier et pourra servir en plus de protège sommier.If it can be used for this purpose a series of straps, under preferential conditions of realization, the fastening elements are integral and are in fact in the form of a web of fabric having the appropriate fixing devices at appropriate locations. For example, for a bed, this bed will be about the size of the bed base and can be used in addition to bed base protector.
Dans le cas de l'utilisation de dispositifs comprenant une bande auto-agrippante à crochets, de type Velcro®, on peut utiliser un lé de tissu à boucles par exemple de type à maille grattée, par exemple en polyamide, qui pourra coopérer avec les bandes auto-agrippantes à crochets.In the case of the use of devices comprising Velcro ® type hook-and-loop fastening tape, it is possible to use a loop fabric web, for example of the scraped mesh type, for example made of polyamide, which can cooperate with the Velcro straps with hooks.
En général, les dispositifs de fixation seront en nombre suffisant pour qu'une partie soit disponible pour le blocage final à l'aide des éléments de fixation. Toutefois, dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, on installe sur le rebord du bandeau des dispositifs de fixation supplémentaires, notamment des bandes à crochets supplémentaires, dont la fonction ne sera pas de permettre le réglage de plis creux, mais uniquement de maintenir solidement l'ensemble.In general, there will be sufficient fasteners for one part to be available for final locking with the fasteners. However, under preferential conditions of implementation of the invention, additional fixing devices are installed on the flange of the strip, in particular additional hook strips, the function of which will not be to allow the adjustment of hollow pleats, but only to maintain the whole solidly.
Dans encore d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, chacune des extrémités de la partie supérieure du bandeau est munie d'un système de dispositifs d'accrochage. On installe par exemple un morceau de bande auto-agrippante à boucles entre deux morceaux de bande auto-agrippante à crochets. En repliant l'une ou l'autre partie du bandeau munie de bande à crochets sur la partie munie de la bande à boucles, on peut régler le bandeau au niveau des côtés du sommier à la longueur souhaitée, par exemple pour passer d'un lit de 1,90 m à 2 m. Ce dispositif est particulièrement intéressant pour les bandeaux ne comportant qu'un système réglable installé au milieu du bandeau et des plis creux fixes.In still other preferred conditions of implementation of the invention, each end of the upper part of the strip is provided with a system of attachment devices. For example, a piece of self-gripping loop tape is installed between two pieces of hook-and-loop fastener tape. By folding one or the other part of the band provided with hook tape on the part provided with the loop band, it is possible to adjust the band at the sides of the bed base to the desired length, for example to pass from a bed from 1.90 m to 2 m. This device is particularly interesting for the bands having only an adjustable system installed in the middle of the headband and fixed hollow folds.
La présente invention a également pour objet un bandeau de tissu spécialement conçu pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé ci-dessus.The present invention also relates to a fabric strip specially designed for the implementation of the method above.
La présente demande a plus particulièrement pour objet un bandeau de tissu généralement rectangulaire pour former une garniture entourant la structure inférieure d'un meuble tel qu'un lit ou un canapé, capable de s'adapter à des tailles différentes, caractérisé en ce que sa longueur est supérieure à celle de la structure à garnir, en ce que sa partie supérieure comprend au moins un système de dispositifs d'accrochage comprenant une série de dispositifs mâles ou femelles sur une longueur d'au moins 5 cm chacun, encadrée par une série de dispositifs respectivement femelles ou mâles complémentaires et en ce que sa largeur est comprise entre 0,3 et 1,0 m.The present application relates more particularly to a strip of generally rectangular fabric to form a lining surrounding the lower structure of a piece of furniture such as a bed or a sofa, capable of adapting to different sizes, characterized in that its length is greater than that of the structure to be lined, in that its upper part comprises at least one system of attachment devices comprising a series of male or female devices over a length of at least 5 cm each, flanked by a series of respectively complementary female or male devices and in that its width is between 0.3 and 1.0 m.
Bien entendu, la partie inférieure du bandeau pourra ne pas être rectiligne mais par exemple festonnée ou crénelée.Of course, the lower portion of the strip may not be straight but for example scalloped or crenellated.
Les conditions préférentielles du procédé évoqué ci-dessus, s'appliquent également aux modes de réalisation préférés du bandeau selon l'invention.The preferred conditions of the process mentioned above also apply to the preferred embodiments of the strip according to the invention.
On peut noter en particulier que, dans des conditions particulièrement avantageuses, les dispositifs femelles et mâles comprennent des bandes auto-agrippantes de type Velcro®. De préférence, une bande à boucles est encadrée par deux bandes à crochets.It may be noted in particular that, under particularly advantageous conditions, the female and male devices comprise self-gripping Velcro® type strips. Preferably, a loop band is framed by two hooked bands.
Un bandeau de tissu préféré selon la présente invention comprend par exemple 7 ou 5 et de préférence 3 ou 1 systèmes de dispositifs d'accrochage, notamment de bandes encadrées. Par "système de bandes encadrées", on entend un ensemble d'une bande à boucles encadrée de deux bandes à crochets ou inversement.A preferred fabric strip according to the present invention comprises for example 7 or 5 and preferably 3 or 1 systems of attachment devices, including framed strips. By "framed band system" is meant a set of a loop band framed by two hook strips or vice versa.
Dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les bandes qui encadrent sont des bandes à crochets, tandis que la bande encadrée est une bande à boucles. Ainsi, habituellement, une partie des bandes à crochets restera disponible sur le dessus du bandeau.Under preferred conditions of implementation of the invention, the bands that surround are hooked strips, while the framed band is a loop band. Thus, usually, some of the hook strips will remain available on the top of the headband.
L'invention sera mieux décrite si l'on se réfère aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- La
figure 1 est une vue en perspective représentant le détail d'un système de dispositifs d'accrochage en position ouverte, installé sur un bandeau selon l'invention. - La
figure 2 est une vue analogue à celle de lafigure 1 , mais dans laquelle un pli creux a été formé par pliage pour adapter la longueur du bandeau à la taille désirée. - La
figure 3 est une vue d'un sommier de lit garni selon le procédé et à l'aide d'un bandeau selon la présente invention, vu du dessus. - La
figure 4 représente la totalité d'un bandeau selon l'invention, vu de dessus.
- The
figure 1 is a perspective view showing the detail of a system of hanging devices in the open position, installed on a strip according to the invention. - The
figure 2 is a view similar to that of thefigure 1 , but in which a hollow fold has been formed by folding to fit the length of the headband to the desired size. - The
figure 3 is a view of a bed base furnished according to the method and with the aid of a strip according to the present invention, seen from above. - The
figure 4 represents the entire strip according to the invention, seen from above.
Sur la
On observe que le bandeau forme un rebord 2 plié à angle droit venant prendre appui sur le haut du sommier qui n'a pas été représenté.It is observed that the band forms a

Sur la
Pour des raisons esthétiques, on a installé sur les parties du bandeau 1 correspondant à la longueur du sommier deux plis creux supplémentaires fixes. Mais on comprend bien évidemment que ces plis creux peuvent être formés selon le même principe que le pli creux formé à l'aide du système de dispositifs d'accrochage ci-dessus. Ainsi, en plus d'un réglage en largeur, on peut obtenir un réglage en longueur si désiré.For aesthetic reasons, it has installed on the parts of the
Lorsque l'on veut replier un pan muni d'un dispositif à crochets sur un pan lui aussi muni d'un dispositif à crochets, on peut utiliser une pièce intermédiaire, par exemple un tissu à boucles double face.When it is desired to fold a pan equipped with a hook device on a pan also provided with a hook device, it is possible to use an intermediate piece, for example a fabric with double-sided loops.
On a aussi installé des morceaux de bandes à crochets supplémentaires 10 sur le rebord, de manière à pouvoir bien fixer le bandeau tant en longueur qu'en largeur, la plupart au niveau des plis creux supplémentaires 11 ce qui permet, en plus de coopérer avec des éléments de liaison 12, de renforcer les coutures à ce niveau. Pour ce faire, comme représenté sur la figure, on a installé des éléments de liaison 12 sous forme de sangles comportant à leurs extrémités des morceaux de bande auto-agrippante à boucles. Ces éléments de liaison 12 représentés en pointillés bien que situés au dessus de l'ensemble viennent se fixer sur des petits morceaux de bandes de tissu à crochets 10 installées périodiquement selon la longueur du bandeau. Dans une version tout particulièrement préférée, les sangles 12 ont été remplacées par un lé de tissu bouclé, dit à "maille grattée", de taille correspondant à celle du dessus du sommier.Additional pieces of hook strips 10 have also been installed on the rim, so that the band can be secured both in length and width, most at the
On peut observer qu'on a installé des morceaux de bande auto-agrippante à boucles 9 d'un côté des plis supplémentaires 7 et 8 d'une longueur suffisante pour que ces morceaux de bande dépassent après l'opération de pliage pour former le rebord et le coin. De ce fait cette longueur supplémentaire est disponible pour le maintien de l'ensemble par coopération avec des éléments de liaison 12 munis de bandes auto-agrippantes à crochets. De même les bandes auto-agrippantes à crochets 4 et 5 du système de dispositifs d'accrochage "central" ont été prévues ici de grande longueur, de l'ordre d'un mètre chacune, pour s'adapter à des sommiers tant pour une que pour deux personnes, et de telle sorte également qu'une longueur reste toujours disponible pour la fixation finale.We can see that we installed pieces of self-gripping tape with
Bien que cet ordre d'opération ne soit pas impératif, on avait au préalable fixé les extrémités du bandeau à l'arrière du sommier, correspondant à la tête de lit.Although this order of operation is not imperative, it had previously fixed the ends of the headband at the back of the bed, corresponding to the headboard.
Vers chaque extrémité du bandeau, on trouve encore un système de dispositifs d'accrochage 13, 14, 15 dont la fonction est expliquée ci-après, ainsi qu'une bande 16 de tissu à crochets d'une quinzaine de cm de long, s'étendant perpendiculairement à la longueur du bandeau.Towards each end of the strip, there is still a system of

Enfin, comme on peut encore l'observer sur la
Enfin, on a installé perpendiculairement à la longueur du bandeau, une bande 16 de tissu à crochets de 15 cm de long à chaque extrémité se poursuivant jusqu'au niveau des autres bandes de tissu, pour coopérer également avec les éléments de liaison 12 ou notamment un lé de tissu bouclé.Finally, a
Le tissu à boucles ou à crochets utilisé dans l'exemple ci-dessus est un tissu de 2,5 cm de largeur sauf pour les bandes de tissu à crochets 11 utilisées pour coopérer avec les éléments de liaison 10, qui sont des carrés de 3X3 cm.The loop or hook fabric used in the above example is a fabric 2.5 cm wide except for the hook fabric strips 11 used to cooperate with the connecting
On peut noter que tous les dispositifs d'accrochage sont installés du même côté du bandeau, ce qui rend sa fabrication facile.It can be noted that all the attachment devices are installed on the same side of the strip, which makes its easy manufacture.
