Abstract

The partitioning system, comprising a series of panels with vertical edges, has each edge made with two or more cut-outs for fasteners (5). Each fastener has a base (9) connected to the lower edge of one cut-out, and a pivoting plate (10) that engages with a cut-out in the facing edge of a neighbouring panel. The base and plate engage with the panel edge cut-outs by means of slots with a spacer between them forming a gap for inserting a disengagement tool.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de cloisonnement vertical du type à panneaux montés entre deux glissières horizontales, et permettant le démontage individuel des panneaux sans action sur les panneaux adjacents. Ce type de montage de panneaux est dit "non progressif".The present invention relates to a vertical partitioning system of the type with panels mounted between two horizontal slides, and allowing individual disassembly of the panels without action on the adjacent panels. This type of panel mounting is said "no progressive".

Un système de cloisonnement de ce type est par exemple décrit dans le brevet EP 0 821 113 au nom du demandeur. Il est constitué de panneaux formés de deux parements identiques montés symétriquement par rapport au plan médian de la cloison. Ces parements sont reliés entre eux au niveau de leurs chants verticaux par un profilé qui comporte des surfaces d'appui destinées à venir au contact de surfaces homologues du profilé du panneau adjacent. La fixation des panneaux se fait au niveau de ces surfaces grâce à des agrafes dites "cames".A partitioning system of this type is for example described in patent EP 0 821 113 in the name of the applicant. It is made up of panels formed by two identical facings mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the partition. These facing are connected to each other at the level of their vertical edges by a profile which has bearing surfaces intended to come to the contact of homologous surfaces of the profile of the adjacent panel. The fixing of the panels is done at these surfaces thanks to staples called "cams".

Ce mode de fixation laisse cependant subsister entre eux un écartement de 3mm nécessaire au passage de l'outil destiné à communiquer un couple de rotation aux agrafes-cames pour les mettre en position de blocage ou de déblocage des panneaux. Une fois ces derniers installés, cet écartement est comblé par un fond de joint recevant un joint d'étanchéité de type silicone ou autre, rétablissant une unité esthétique et masquant les agrafes.This method of attachment, however, leaves a 3mm spacing necessary for the passage of the tool intended for communicate a torque to the cam clips to put them in the locking or unlocking position of the panels. Once these last installed, this gap is filled by a joint bottom receiving a silicone or other type seal, restoring a aesthetic unity and masking staples.

Il existe bien d'autres systèmes de fixation à cames également manipulables via un outil par exemple introduit dans un orifice pratiqué dans le panneau, lequel est ensuite masqué à l'aide d'un cache pour répondre aux exigences esthétiques habituelles une fois la mise en place des panneaux achevée. There are many other cam fastening systems as well manipulated by a tool, for example introduced into a hole made in the panel, which is then hidden using a cover to meet the usual aesthetic requirements once the place of panels completed.

Le domaine d'emploi privilégié du système de cloisonnement vertical de l'invention est celui des salles dites "blanches" utilisées dans les industries pharmaceutiques, biotechnologiques, et autres industries de recherche. Dans ces secteurs d'activité, les joints tolérés et donc les écartements sont de 3mm pour permettre d'assurer dans de bonnes conditions une étanchéité suffisante des lieux cloisonnés.The preferred field of use of the vertical partitioning system the invention is that of so-called "clean rooms" used in industries pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other research industries. In these sectors of activity, the tolerated joints and therefore the spacings are 3mm for allow to ensure in good conditions a sufficient tightness of the places compartmentalised.

Actuellement, seules les cloisons dites "progressives", c'est-à-dire avec des panneaux emboítés successivement et non individuellement amovibles permettent d'obtenir un tel écartement et sont susceptibles d'être utilisés dans ces secteurs. On peut par exemple citer le système de cloisonnement à poteaux flottants développé par le demandeur dans le brevet référencé EP 657 595. Le caractère de "progressivité" constitue cependant un inconvénient manifeste pour des cloisons dans ce type d'industrie.Currently, only the so-called "progressive" partitions, that is to say with panels fitted successively and not individually removable allow to obtain such a spacing and are likely to be used in these sectors. We can for example cite the stud wall system floats developed by the applicant in patent referenced EP 657,595. "progressiveness" is, however, a clear drawback for partitions in this type of industry.

La présente invention se propose par conséquent d'y remédier en proposant d'une part des cloisons non progressives dont les parois sont d'autre part préservées de tout orifice d'introduction d'outil et écartées d'au maximum 3 mm, qui répondent par conséquent aux contraintes spécifiques aux salles dites "blanches", notamment en terme d'étanchéité.The present invention therefore proposes to remedy it by proposing on the one hand non-progressive partitions whose walls are on the other hand preserved from any tool insertion hole and spaced at most 3 mm, which therefore meet the specific constraints of so-called "clean rooms", especially in terms of sealing.

Selon l'invention, le système de cloisonnement vertical est composé classiquement de panneaux comportant deux parements identiques montés symétriquement par rapport au plan médian de la cloison, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce que chaque parement comporte, dans ses chants verticaux latéraux, au moins une découpe destinée à venir en regard d'une découpe homologue du chant latéral vertical du parement du panneau adjacent, des moyens de fixation et de maintien à distance venant coopérer avec les bordures périphériques des découpes en vis-à-vis pour permettre de solidariser des panneaux adjacents en délimitant entre eux un interstice d'écartement permettant la manipulation de ces moyens pour les mettre respectivement en position de déverrouillage / verrouillage des panneaux.According to the invention, the vertical partition system is composed conventionally of panels comprising two identical facings mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the partition, and it is characterized essentially in that each facing has, in its vertical edges lateral, at least one cutout intended to come next to a cutout counterpart of the vertical lateral edge of the facing of the adjacent panel, means fixing and maintaining distance from cooperating with the edges peripherals of the cut-outs opposite to allow the joining of adjacent panels delimiting between them a spacing gap allowing the manipulation of these means to put them respectively in position of unlocking / locking the panels.

Il n'est plus nécessaire, comme c'est le cas dans l'art antérieur, d'avoir un ou plusieurs trous dans la paroi des panneaux ou de laisser entre ceux-ci un écartement important pour permettre à un outil de coopérer avec les moyens de fixation des panneaux entre eux.It is no longer necessary, as is the case in the prior art, to have one or several holes in the wall of the panels or leave between them a large spacing to allow a tool to cooperate with the means of fixing the panels together.

De préférence, selon l'invention, les moyens de fixation et maintien à distance consistent en des agrafes comportant d'une part une embase assurant leur fixation sur la bordure inférieure de la découpe d'un panneau, et d'autre part une lame montée pivotante dans l'embase et assurant la fixation et le maintien à distance du panneau adjacent en venant se verrouiller sur la bordure périphérique inférieure de la découpe en vis-à-vis.Preferably, according to the invention, the means of fixing and maintaining distance consist of staples comprising on the one hand a base ensuring their fixing on the lower edge of the cutout of a panel, and on the other hand a blade swivel mounted in the base and ensuring the fixing and the distance maintenance of the adjacent panel coming to lock on the lower peripheral border of the facing cut.

De préférence encore, l'embase est d'allure parallélépipédique et présente une fourche formée de deux parois latérales et d'une paroi d'extrémité transversale de liaison, délimitant ensemble un espace dans lequel vient se loger la lame pivotante, les deux parois latérales étant chacune munies d'une rainure servant à loger la bordure périphérique inférieure de l'une des deux découpes pour assurer la fixation de l'embase au panneau.More preferably, the base is of parallelepipedal appearance and has a fork formed by two side walls and a transverse end wall of connection, together delimiting a space in which the blade is housed pivoting, the two side walls each being provided with a groove serving to accommodate the lower peripheral border of one of the two cutouts to ensure fixing the base to the panel.

Le pivotement de la lame se fait par exemple à l'aide d'une goupille positionnée dans des trous traversants dont sont munies respectivement les parois latérales et la lame.The blade is pivoted for example using a pin positioned in through holes which are respectively provided with side walls and the blade.

De manière connue en soi, et selon une possibilité, cette goupille présente un diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui des trous, assurant ainsi une liaison mécanique simple mais efficace entre l'embase et la lame.In a manner known per se, and according to one possibility, this pin has a diameter slightly greater than that of the holes, thus ensuring a connection simple but effective mechanics between the base and the blade.

De préférence encore, la lame comporte une double encoche venant coopérer avec les bordures inférieures des découpes en vis-à-vis, l'encoche distale de l'axe de rotation venant s'y ajuster à cheval et en butée, la patte séparant lesdites encoches définissant la largeur de l'interstice entre les panneaux.More preferably, the blade has a double notch coming to cooperate with the lower edges of the cut-outs facing each other, the distal notch of the axis of rotation coming to adjust to it on horseback and in abutment, the tab separating said notches defining the width of the gap between the panels.

Il est ainsi facile de jouer sur l'écartement recherché entre les panneaux, et d'obtenir les 3mm réglementaires pour l'utilisation recherchée.It is thus easy to play on the desired spacing between the panels, and to obtain the regulatory 3mm for the intended use.

De préférence encore, cette patte comporte une extrémité d'allure arrondie permettant à la lame de glisser contre la surface externe des chants pour faciliter ainsi sa mise en place en position verrouillée.More preferably, this tab has a rounded end. allowing the blade to slide against the outer surface of the edges to facilitate thus its positioning in the locked position.

Les découpes dans les chants sont dotées, dans leurs bordures coopérant avec l'agrafe de fixation, d'une entaille centrale d'allure rectangulaire, de largeur sensiblement égale à celle des lames. Le fond desdites entailles est de préférence perpendiculaire à leurs côtés, de sorte que le contact en butée avec le fond des encoches de la lame puisse être réalisé sur une surface maximale.The cutouts in the edges have, in their cooperating borders with the fixing clip, of a central notch of rectangular appearance, of width substantially equal to that of the blades. The bottom of said cuts is preferably perpendicular to their sides, so that the abutting contact with the bottom of the blade notches can be made on a maximum surface.

Ce mode de fixation garantit le blocage des panneaux dans la direction du cloisonnement, du fait de l'insertion à faible tolérance, par des reliefs complémentaires, de l'encoche distale de l'axe de rotation sur la paroi du chant du panneau adjacent, au niveau de l'entaille. Il garantit également le blocage dans une direction perpendiculaire au plan moyen des panneaux, du fait de la correspondance des dimensions transversales de la lame et de l'entaille. This method of fixing guarantees the blocking of the panels in the direction of partitioning, due to the low tolerance insertion, by reliefs complementary, from the distal notch of the axis of rotation on the wall of the edge of the adjacent panel, at the level of the notch. It also guarantees blocking in a direction perpendicular to the mean plane of the panels, due to the correspondence of the transverse dimensions of the blade and the notch.

La lame et l'embase coopèrent au surplus de telle sorte que des butée permettent de contrôler le déplacement angulaire de la première dans la seconde. Cette caractéristique rend notamment la lame toujours accessible à travers l'interstice entre deux panneaux en lui évitant un basculement trop important vers l'arrière de l'embase.The blade and the base cooperate moreover so that stops allow to control the angular displacement of the first in the second. This characteristic notably makes the blade always accessible through the gap between two panels, preventing it from tilting too far towards the back of the base.

De préférence, ces butées consistent en deux chants de la lame destinés à venir en contact avec la surface intérieure de la paroi transversale de l'embase, afin de limiter la course rotative de la lame respectivement en position déverrouillée et verrouillée.Preferably, these stops consist of two edges of the blade intended for come into contact with the inner surface of the transverse wall of the base, so limit the rotary stroke of the blade respectively in the unlocked position and locked.

La lame comporte par ailleurs un chant d'allure parallèle à celui desdits chants formant butée en position déverrouillée, localisé de telle sorte qu'en cette dernière position, ce chant parallèle soit disposé dans le volume de l'interstice, sensiblement parallèlement à lui.The blade also has a song with a shape parallel to that of said songs forming a stopper in the unlocked position, located so that in the latter position, this parallel edge is placed in the volume of the gap, substantially parallel to it.

Cette caractéristique est notamment importante lors du positionnement d'un panneau dans un cloisonnement, entre deux panneaux déjà fixés.This characteristic is particularly important when positioning a panel in a partition, between two panels already fixed.

La lame de l'agrafe est mise en rotation très simplement à l'aide d'un outil plat dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à la largeur de l'interstice.The staple blade is very easily rotated using a flat tool whose thickness is less than the width of the gap.

De préférence, l'embase de l'agrafe est en matière plastique ou en alliage d'aluminium, alors que la lame est en matériau conducteur. Cette spécificité assure une continuité électrique entre chaque élément de cloison par rapport aux phénomènes électrostatiques pouvant exister au niveau des parois.Preferably, the staple base is made of plastic or an alloy aluminum, while the blade is made of conductive material. This specificity ensures electrical continuity between each partition element with respect to electrostatic phenomena which may exist at the level of the walls.

De préférence encore, les découpes des chants verticaux latéraux des parements sont de forme rectangulaire, de largeur sensiblement égale à celle de l'embase. Cette caractéristique permet d'améliorer encore le blocage transversal des panneaux, en principe déjà assuré par la lame.More preferably, the cutouts of the lateral vertical edges of the facings are rectangular, of width substantially equal to that of the base. This characteristic makes it possible to further improve the transverse blocking panels, in principle already secured by the blade.

Selon une possibilité, la bordure périphérique des découpes peut présenter deux entailles disposées symétriquement par rapport à l'horizontale pour faciliter le montage des panneaux indépendamment de leur sens d'utilisation.According to one possibility, the peripheral border of the cutouts may have two notches arranged symmetrically to the horizontal to facilitate mounting of the panels regardless of their direction of use.

Un système de cloisonnement tel que celui de l'invention peut bien entendu se développer suivant plusieurs directions.A partitioning system such as that of the invention can of course be develop in several directions.

Dans ce cas, les caractéristiques principales de l'invention doivent se retrouver quel que soit le développement et l'orientation que l'on donne à la paroi. Ainsi, les parements des panneaux peuvent être fixés à des profilés d'extrémités de cloisons, à des profilés de coins et/ou de changement de direction, les chants verticaux latéraux de ces profilés d'extrémités devant alors être analogues à ceux des panneaux classiques. In this case, the main characteristics of the invention must be found whatever development and orientation you give to the wall. So the panel facings can be attached to end profiles of partitions, corner profiles and / or change of direction, edges lateral verticals of these end profiles then having to be similar to those classic panels.

Le système de cloisonnement de l'invention offre en résumé une solution simple et peu onéreuse à la fabrication au problème des cloisons étanches et non progressives notamment utilisables pour les salles blanches. Cette solution est doublement avantageuse sur le plan économique, car elle est de plus aisée à mettre en oeuvre, notamment au montage, qui peut s'effectuer rapidement à l'aide d'une main d'oeuvre vite formée.The partitioning system of the invention offers in summary a solution simple and inexpensive to manufacture with the problem of watertight bulkheads and not progressive especially usable for clean rooms. This solution is doubly advantageous from an economic point of view, because it is easier to implement, especially during assembly, which can be carried out quickly using of a quickly formed workforce.

La figure 1 illustre le montage d'un système de cloisonnement "non progressif" selon l'invention à l'aide de deux panneaux (A1) et (A2).FIG. 1 illustrates the mounting of a "non-progressive" partitioning system according to the invention using two panels (A 1 ) and (A 2 ).

De manière connue en soi, chaque panneau, par exemple (A1) est composé de deux parements (1) en tôle profilée dont les rebord latéraux repliés constituent les chants verticaux (2). Les parements (1) sont reliés au niveau de ces chants verticaux par des profilés de liaison (P). Les panneaux et le profilé (P) sont représentés de façon discontinue en hauteur, pour des raisons de lisibilité du dessin.In a manner known per se, each panel, for example (A 1 ) is composed of two facings (1) in profiled sheet whose folded side edges constitute the vertical edges (2). The facings (1) are connected at the level of these vertical edges by connecting profiles (P). The panels and the profile (P) are shown discontinuously in height, for reasons of legibility of the drawing.

Les panneaux (A1, A2) viennent reposer sur une glissière ou lisse inférieure. Le système de cloisonnement comporte également une glissière supérieure, qui n'est pas représentée pour mettre en exergue la forme des profilés. The panels (A 1 , A 2 ) come to rest on a slide or lower smooth. The partitioning system also includes an upper slide, which is not shown to highlight the shape of the profiles.

La figure permet également de visualiser les découpes (3) dans les chants verticaux latéraux (2) de chaque parement (1). Elles sont destinées à recevoir les agrafes (non représentées) assurant les fonctions de fixation et de maintien à distance de deux panneaux (A1, A2, ..., An) consécutifs dans le cloisonnement.The figure also shows the cutouts (3) in the lateral vertical edges (2) of each facing (1). They are intended to receive the clips (not shown) ensuring the functions of fixing and maintaining distance of two panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ) consecutive in the partitioning.

Ces découpes (3) sont disposées le long des chants (2) de manière à ce que chacune présente une forme symétrique par rapport à un plan médian horizontal. Cette spécificité, ainsi que leur positionnement dans les chants, assurent un montage du cloisonnement indépendant du sens d'utilisation des panneaux (A1, A2, ..., An) ou des parements (1).These cutouts (3) are arranged along the edges (2) so that each has a symmetrical shape with respect to a horizontal median plane. This specificity, as well as their positioning in the edges, ensures an installation of the partitioning independent of the direction of use of the panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ) or the facings (1).

La figure 1 montre également le montage du panneau (A2), représenté par un seul parement (1), lorsque le panneau (A1) est déjà en place dans le cloisonnement. La mise en place du panneau (A2) se fait par un mouvement de translation symbolisé par la flèche F, c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement au plan médian vertical de la cloison, de façon à amener les découpes (non visibles) pratiquées dans ses chants latéraux en regard des découpes homologues du panneau (A1). Cette mise en place peut évidemment également se faire dans le sens inverse de cette flèche selon le côté duquel on opère. Le monteur aura pris soin, préalablement à l'introduction du panneau (A2), de fixer les agrafes en position déverrouillée dans les découpes (3), comme on l'explicitera plus en détail dans la suite de la description.Figure 1 also shows the mounting of the panel (A 2 ), represented by a single facing (1), when the panel (A 1 ) is already in place in the partitioning. The establishment of the panel (A 2 ) is done by a translational movement symbolized by the arrow F, that is to say perpendicular to the vertical median plane of the partition, so as to bring the cutouts (not visible) made in its side edges opposite the homologous cutouts of the panel (A 1 ). This implementation can obviously also be done in the opposite direction of this arrow depending on which side we operate. The editor will have taken care, prior to the introduction of the panel (A 2 ), to fix the staples in the unlocked position in the cutouts (3), as will be explained in more detail in the following description.

La figure 2 est une représentation de l'agrafe (5) telle qu'elle se présente en position verrouillée. Elle est constituée d'une embase (9) dans laquelle pivote une lame (10).Figure 2 is a representation of the clip (5) as it appears in locked position. It consists of a base (9) in which a blade (10).

La figure 3 illustre plus en détail l'embase (9) dont la forme est celle d'une pièce d'allure parallélépipédique comportant une fourche composée de deux parois latérales (6, 7) reliées par une paroi transversale de liaison (8), ces parois délimitant entre elles un espace (13) dans lequel se loge la lame. Chaque paroi latérale (6,7) est munie d'une rainure (11) destinée à loger la bordure périphérique inférieure (12a) de la découpe (2) (voir figure 5) de part et d'autre des entailles (4) ou (4'). Ces rainures (11) créent en fait deux pattes frontales (14, 15) dans le prolongement respectif des parois (6, 7). Celles-ci sont en outre munies de trous traversants (33) coaxiaux.Figure 3 illustrates in more detail the base (9) whose shape is that of a part parallelepiped-like with a fork made up of two walls lateral (6, 7) connected by a transverse connecting wall (8), these walls delimiting between them a space (13) in which the blade is housed. Each side wall (6,7) is provided with a groove (11) intended to accommodate the lower peripheral edge (12a) of the cutout (2) (see FIG. 5) on either side of the notches (4) or (4 '). These grooves (11) actually create two front legs (14, 15) in the respective extension of the walls (6, 7). These are also provided with holes through (33) coaxial.

La figure 4 montre plus en détail la lame (10), pièce plane inscrite dans un losange. Cette pièce comporte en partie inférieure une double encoche (16, 17) entourant une patte (18) dont les dimensions permettent de définir l'écartement entre deux panneaux successifs, et dont l'extrémité (18a) est arrondie pour faciliter la mise en place de la lame en position verrouillée. Dans cette position, l'encoche (17) vient se placer dans l'entaille (4) (voir figure 5) pour réaliser le blocage des panneaux (A1, A2, ..., An). Le dessin de cette pièce comporte notamment des chants fonctionnels (19, 20), sensiblement parallèles, et un chant (21) jouxtant le chant (20). Les surfaces de ces derniers sont prévues pour coopérer avec la surface interne de la paroi transversale (8) de l'embase (9), pour limiter le déplacement angulaire de la lame.Figure 4 shows in more detail the blade (10), a flat part inscribed in a diamond. This part comprises in the lower part a double notch (16, 17) surrounding a tab (18) whose dimensions make it possible to define the spacing between two successive panels, and whose end (18a) is rounded to facilitate installation. blade in the locked position. In this position, the notch (17) is placed in the notch (4) (see Figure 5) to block the panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ). The design of this piece includes in particular functional edges (19, 20), substantially parallel, and a edge (21) adjoining the edge (20). The surfaces of the latter are provided to cooperate with the internal surface of the transverse wall (8) of the base (9), to limit the angular displacement of the blade.

La lame (10) est également munie d'un orifice traversant (22), prévu pour être positionné coaxialement aux orifices (23) des parois latérales de l'embase (9) en phase de fonctionnement (voir figure 3). Une fois alignés, ces orifices permettent l'insertion d'une goupille élastique qui constitue de fait l'arbre de rotation permettant le pivotement de la lame (10) dans l'embase (9).The blade (10) is also provided with a through hole (22), designed to be positioned coaxially to the orifices (23) of the side walls of the base (9) in operating phase (see Figure 3). Once aligned, these holes allow the insertion of an elastic pin which in fact constitutes the rotation shaft allowing the pivoting of the blade (10) in the base (9).

La figure 5 précise la forme d'une découpe (3) selon l'invention. Elle présente une forme d'allure rectangulaire, dont la largeur correspond sensiblement à celle de l'embase (9), et est munie en outre de deux entailles centrales (4, 4') de profondeur p pratiquées dans ses bordures périphériques inférieure (12a) et supérieure (12b). Ces entailles sont disposées selon une double symétrie par rapport aux axes médian vertical (32) et médian horizontal (33) de la découpe (3), visant comme mentionné auparavant à un positionnement réversible des parements dans les glissières ou lisses horizontales (non représentées) sans se soucier de leur sens d'utilisation, car leur positionnement le long du chant (2) permet cette réversibilité.Figure 5 specifies the shape of a cutout (3) according to the invention. She presents a rectangular shape, the width of which corresponds substantially to that of the base (9), and is further provided with two central notches (4, 4 ') of depth p formed in its lower peripheral borders (12a) and upper (12b). These notches are arranged in a double symmetry by relation to the vertical median (32) and horizontal median (33) axes of the cutout (3), aiming as mentioned before at a reversible positioning of siding in horizontal rails or rails (not shown) without worry about their direction of use, because their positioning along the edge (2) allows this reversibility.

La figure 6 montre le positionnement déverrouillé (en trait discontinu) / verrouillé (en trait plein) de l'agrafe entre deux panneaux adjacents dont seuls les chants latéraux (2, 2') ont été représentés pour des raisons de clarté.Figure 6 shows the unlocked (broken line) / locked positioning (solid line) of the clip between two adjacent panels of which only the edges lateral (2, 2 ') have been shown for reasons of clarity.

L'embase (9) chevauche la bordure périphérique inférieure (12a) de la découpe (3) (tel qu'illustré à la figure 5) du chant latéral (2), qui vient alors se loger dans les rainures (11) pour y fixer l'agrafe, de part et d'autre de l'entaille (4, 4').The base (9) overlaps the lower peripheral edge (12a) of the cutout (3) (as illustrated in FIG. 5) of the side edge (2), which then becomes housed in the grooves (11) for fixing the clip there, on either side of the notch (4, 4 ').

Dans la position déverrouillée, le chant (20) est en butée sur la surface interne (28) de la paroi (8), limitant ainsi la course de la lame (10) vers l'arrière de l'embase (9), et la rendant toujours accessible via l'interstice (34).In the unlocked position, the edge (20) is in abutment on the internal surface (28) of the wall (8), thus limiting the stroke of the blade (10) towards the rear of the base (9), and making it always accessible via the gap (34).

La lame (10) laisse alors le passage au chant (2') du panneau monté en second. Le basculement de la lame (10) à partir de cette position se fait dans l'interstice (34), par pression vers le bas sur l'extrémité libre (10a) avec un outil plat.The blade (10) then leaves the passage to the edge (2 ') of the panel mounted second. The blade (10) tilts from this position in the gap (34), by pressing down on the free end (10a) with a flat tool.

En position verrouillée, c'est le chant (21) qui est en butée sur la surface (28) (voir figure 6). In the locked position, it is the edge (21) which is in abutment on the surface (28) (see figure 6).

Il existe alors un écart h séparant les surfaces d'appui ou fonds (11a) et (16a) respectivement de la rainure (11) et de l'encoche (16) lorsqu'ils sont en butée sur la bordure périphérique inférieure (12a) de la découpe (2) (voir figure 5). Cet écart h correspond en fait à la profondeur p des entailles (4, 4').There is then a gap h separating the bearing surfaces or bottoms (11a) and (16a) groove (11) and notch (16) respectively when they are in abutment on the lower peripheral edge (12a) of the cutout (2) (see FIG. 5). This gap h in fact corresponds to the depth p of the notches (4, 4 ').

La figure 7 permet de visualiser un cloisonnement conforme à l'invention avec un nombre réduit de panneaux (A3, A4, ..., An) non significatif du nombre réel de panneaux qui peut théoriquement le composer. La représentation partielle du panneau (A4) illustre notamment le fait qu'il peut présenter différentes longueurs. Il est classiquement constitué de deux parements (1) munis de chants latéraux (2) reliés entre eux par l'intermédiaire des profilés de liaison (P). Les flèches F' et F" de sens inverse expriment le double sens de montage possible du panneau (A4).FIG. 7 makes it possible to view a partitioning in accordance with the invention with a reduced number of panels (A 3 , A 4 , ..., A n ) which is not significant of the actual number of panels which can theoretically compose it. The partial representation of the panel (A 4 ) illustrates in particular the fact that it can have different lengths. It is conventionally made up of two facings (1) provided with lateral edges (2) interconnected by means of the connecting profiles (P). Arrows F 'and F "in the opposite direction express the possible double mounting direction of the panel (A 4 ).

Lorsque la lame de l'agrafe (5) est verrouillée, l'interstice (34) existant entre deux panneaux consécutifs (par exemple A3 et A4) est comblé de manière connue par des joints (35) rétablissant la planéité de la paroi.When the staple blade (5) is locked, the gap (34) existing between two consecutive panels (for example A 3 and A 4 ) is filled in a known manner by seals (35) restoring the flatness of the wall .

La liaison mécanique réalisée par les agrafes (5) permet d'obtenir au final des ensembles parfaitement rectilignes et stables.The mechanical connection made by the staples (5) makes it possible in the end to obtain perfectly straight and stable sets.

La figure 8 illustre un montant d'extrémité (24) comportant deux rebords (25, 26) venant en regard des chants verticaux latéraux (2) du panneau (A5) sur lequel il est fixé au moyen des agrafes (5). Ces deux rebords (25, 26) comportent bien entendu également des découpes pour permettre le positionnement desdites agrafes (5).FIG. 8 illustrates an end upright (24) comprising two flanges (25, 26) coming opposite the lateral vertical edges (2) of the panel (A 5 ) on which it is fixed by means of staples (5). These two flanges (25, 26) of course also include cutouts to allow the positioning of said staples (5).

En figure 9, on a représenté un profilé de coin (27) muni de deux chants latéraux verticaux (29, 30) présentant les mêmes découpes que celles décrites précédemment pour réaliser les mêmes fonctions et ainsi assurer la jonction externe des panneaux (A6) et (A7).In Figure 9, there is shown a corner profile (27) provided with two vertical side edges (29, 30) having the same cutouts as those described above to perform the same functions and thus ensure the external junction of the panels (A 6 ) and (A 7 ).

La jonction interne se fait alors à l'aide d'un simple profilé en L (31) qui vient se fixer au moyen de vis sur les chants (2) des parements (1) les plus proches.The internal junction is then made using a simple L-shaped profile (31) which comes fix with screws on the edges (2) of the nearest facings (1).

Il est à noter que le système de l'invention a été décrit au moyen d'un exemple préférentiel, qui ne peut cependant pas être considéré comme limitatif de l'invention. Celle-ci englobe au contraire toutes les variantes de forme et de configuration à la portée de l'homme de l'art.It should be noted that the system of the invention has been described by means of an example preferential, which cannot however be considered as limiting the invention. On the contrary, it includes all variants of shape and configuration within the reach of ordinary skill in the art.
