Dans la présente description, les termes "haut" et "bas" se réfèrent à l'orientation du dispositif lorsqu'il est installé, la tige étant suspendue sensiblement verticalement au second agencement de fixation, et les termes "avant" et "arrière" appliqués à un agencement de fixation s'entendent en ce sens qu'après assemblage sa seconde pièce d'assemblage est située en avant de sa première pièce d'assemblage.In the present description, the terms "high" and "low" refer to the orientation of the device when installed, the rod being suspended substantially vertically to the second fastening arrangement, and the terms "front" and "back" applied to a fastening arrangement are understood in that sense after assembly its second assembly part is located in front of its first assembly part.

La tige 1 représentée sur la figure 1 est réalisée par extrusion en une matière plastique transparente telle que le polycarbonate, ou en une matière plastique opaque telle qu'un copolymère acrylonitrile-butadiène-styrène. Elle possède un corps cylindrique 2, par exemple d'un diamètre de 6 mm, obtenu directement par extrusion. À son extrémité supérieure, le corps 2 se raccorde à une tête 3 de plus grand diamètre que lui, formée par écrasement à chaud.The rod 1 shown on the figure 1 is made by extrusion into a transparent plastic material such as polycarbonate, or an opaque plastic material such as an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. It has a cylindrical body 2, for example with a diameter of 6 mm, obtained directly by extrusion. At its upper end, the body 2 is connected to a head 3 of larger diameter than him, formed by hot crushing.

La figure 1 montre aussi une première pièce d'assemblage 4 qui, comme les autres pièces d'assemblage et les supports secondaires décrits ci-après, est réalisée par injection de matière plastique, par exemple de polyoxyméthylène. La pièce 4 présente une surface plane verticale 5 possédant, dans l'exemple illustré, un contour 6 sensiblement elliptique de grand axe horizontal. La section de la pièce 4 par un plan parallèle à la surface 5 présente un contour sensiblement elliptique dont le grand axe et le petit axe vont en diminuant progressivement lorsque le plan de section se déplace vers l'arrière, pour s'annuler à l'extrémité arrière 7 de la pièce, confèrent à celle-ci une forme sensiblement ovoïde. Une encoche 8 est ménagée dans la pièce 4, sur toute la hauteur de celle-ci, à partir de la surface 5, symétriquement de part et d'autre d'un plan vertical de symétrie du profil elliptique précité, noté P sur la figure 4. L'encoche 8 a une forme cylindrique de génératrice verticale. Une première région 9 de l'encoche 8, adjacente à la surface 5, présente une largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre du corps 2 de la tige. La région 9 se raccorde à une région 10, plus éloignée de la surface 5, dont le contour présente sensiblement une forme circulaire de diamètre sensiblement égal à celui du corps 2. Au-delà de la région 9, l'encoche 8 se prolonge par une fente étroite 11 s'étendant selon le plan de symétrie P. Deux nervures 12 allongées verticalement sont formées en saillie par rapport à la surface 5, de manière à définir entre elles un prolongement de la région 9 de l'encoche 8. Chaque nervure 12 s'étend sur une fraction majoritaire de la hauteur de la pièce 4 et présente un profil en L formé d'une première aile 13 adjacente à la surface 5, orientée parallèlement au plan P, et d'une seconde aile 14 faisant suite à l'aile 13, orientée perpendiculairement au plan P et s'éloignant de celui-ci. Les faces 15, 16 des ailes 13, 14 tournées à l'opposé du plan P sont légèrement inclinées de telle sorte qu'elles s'éloignent légèrement de celui-ci en allant du haut vers le bas.The figure 1 also shows a first assembly part 4 which, like the other assembly parts and the secondary supports described below, is made by injection of plastic material, for example polyoxymethylene. The piece 4 has a vertical planar surface 5 having, in the illustrated example, a substantially elliptical outline 6 of large horizontal axis. The section of the part 4 by a plane parallel to the surface 5 has a substantially elliptical contour, the major axis and the minor axis gradually decreasing as the section plane moves rearward, to cancel at the rear end 7 of the piece, give it a substantially ovoid shape. A notch 8 is formed in the piece 4, over the entire height of the latter, from the surface 5, symmetrically on either side of a vertical plane of symmetry of the aforementioned elliptical profile, noted P on the figure 4 . The notch 8 has a cylindrical shape of vertical generator. A first region 9 of the notch 8, adjacent to the surface 5, has a width slightly less than the diameter of the body 2 of the rod. The region 9 is connected to a region 10, farther away from the surface 5, the outline of which has substantially a circular shape of diameter substantially equal to that of the body 2. Beyond the region 9, the notch 8 is extended by a narrow slot 11 extending along the plane of symmetry P. Two vertically elongated ribs 12 are formed protruding from the surface 5, so as to define between them an extension of the region 9 of the notch 8. Each rib 12 extends over a majority fraction of the height of the part 4 and has an L-shaped profile formed by a first flange 13 adjacent to the surface 5, oriented parallel to the plane P, and a second flange 14 following the flange 13, oriented perpendicular to the plane P and away from it. The faces 15, 16 of the wings 13, 14 facing away from the plane P are slightly inclined so that they move slightly away from it from top to bottom.

La figure 1 montre encore une seconde pièce d'assemblage 19, également représentée sur la figure 4. La pièce 19 possède une surface plane 20 de même contour elliptique que la surface 5 de la pièce 4, et sa section par un plan parallèle à la surface 20 présente un contour sensiblement elliptique dont le grand axe et le petit axe vont en diminuant progressivement lorsque le plan de section se déplace vers l'avant. À partir de la surface 20 sont ménagés un logement médian 21, et deux encoches 22 s'étendant verticalement de haut en bas de la pièce, symétriquement de part et d'autre du plan P. Le logement 21 et les rainures 22 délimitent une structure de liaison 23 en forme de U inversé, comportant une traverse 24 qui s'étend horizontalement le long de la surface supérieure de la pièce 19, et deux branches 25 qui s'étendent sensiblement verticalement, chacune entre le logement 21 et l'une des rainures 22. Les branches 25 présentent un profil intérieur conjugué du profil extérieur des nervures 12 de la pièce 4, avec des surfaces inclinées 26, 27 propres à coopérer avec les faces inclinées 15, 16 des nervures 12. Un trou traversant 28 et ménagé horizontalement dans la pièce 19, au centre du profil elliptique de celle-ci, et s'élargit en un lamage elliptique 29 au voisinage de la face avant bombée de la pièce. Une pastille 30 de même forme que le lamage 29 peut être insérée dans celui-ci pour masquer le trou 28 lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé pour la fixation d'un accessoire.The figure 1 still shows a second assembly part 19, also shown on the figure 4 . The part 19 has a flat surface 20 of the same elliptical contour as the surface 5 of the part 4, and its section by a plane parallel to the surface 20 has a substantially elliptical contour whose major axis and the minor axis gradually diminish when the section plane moves forward. From the surface 20 are provided a median housing 21, and two notches 22 extending vertically from top to bottom of the room, symmetrically on either side of the plane P. The housing 21 and the grooves 22 define a structure U-shaped link 23 having a cross-member 24 extending horizontally along the upper surface of the workpiece 19, and two branches 25 which extend substantially vertically, each between the housing 21 and one of the grooves 22. The branches 25 have a conjugate internal profile of the outer profile of the ribs 12 of the part 4, with inclined surfaces 26, 27 adapted to cooperate with the inclined faces 15, 16 of the ribs 12. A through hole 28 and formed horizontally in the piece 19, in the center of the elliptical profile thereof, and widens into an elliptical countersink 29 in the vicinity of the convex front face of the piece. A pellet 30 of the same shape as the counterbore 29 can be inserted into it to hide the hole 28 when it is not used for attachment of an accessory.

Lorsque la tige 2 est fixée par son extrémité supérieure à un support primaire tel qu'un plafond ou un mur, comme il sera décrit plus loin, on peut monter l'agencement de fixation décrit comme suit. On déplace d'abord la pièce 4 horizontalement par rapport à la tige, selon la flèche F1 de la figure 1, de manière que le corps 2 s'engage entre les nervures 12, puis dans l'encoche 8, en écartant élastiquement les deux branches formées par les nervures 12 et par les parties de la pièce 4 située de part et d'autre de l'encoche et de la fente 11. Lorsque le corps 2 parvient dans la partie élargie 10, les deux branches se rapprochent de manière à enfermer étroitement le corps 2 et à immobiliser celui-ci par rapport à la pièce 4, seul un mouvement de translation le long du corps pouvant être effectué par une force exercée manuellement sur la pièce 4.When the rod 2 is fixed by its upper end to a primary support such as a ceiling or a wall, as will be described later, one can mount the fastening arrangement described as follows. First move the piece 4 horizontally with respect to the rod, according to the arrow F1 of the figure 1 , so that the body 2 engages between the ribs 12, then in the notch 8, elastically separating the two branches formed by the ribs 12 and the parts of the part 4 located on either side of the notch and slot 11. When the body 2 reaches the enlarged portion 10, the two branches come together to close the body tightly 2 and immobilize it relative to the part 4, only a translational movement along the body that can be performed by a force exerted manually on the part 4.

Pour monter la pièce 19 sur la pièce 4, on la dispose de manière que sa surface plane 20 se trouve sensiblement dans le même plan que la surface 5 de la pièce 4 et immédiatement au-dessus de celle-ci, puis on abaisse la pièce 19 de manière à faire glisser la surface 20 sur la surface 4. Les branches 25 de la structure 23 coopèrent alors avec les nervures 12 pour maintenir les surfaces 5 et 20 appliquées l'une sur l'autre, les surfaces inclinées 26, 27 des branches 25 se déplaçant le long des surfaces inclinées 15, 16 des nervures 12. Du fait de l'inclinaison de ces surfaces, un effort de serrage est progressivement exercé sur les nervures 12, et par conséquent sur les côtés de l'encoche 8, auxquels elles sont liées, le corps 2 de la tige étant fortement serrée entre les portions de surface cylindrique 10 de l'encoche pour immobiliser fermement la pièce 4 sur le corps 2. Le mouvement de la pièce 19 s'interrompt lorsque la traverse 24 de la structure 23 vient en appui sur les extrémités supérieures des nervures 12. Le contour elliptique de la surface 20 coïncide alors avec le contour elliptique de la surface 5, la surface extérieure de la pièce 19 venant en continuité de celle de la pièce 4.To mount the piece 19 on the piece 4, it is arranged so that its planar surface 20 is substantially in the same plane as the surface 5 of the piece 4 and immediately above it, and then the piece is lowered. 19 so as to slide the surface 20 on the surface 4. The branches 25 of the structure 23 then cooperate with the ribs 12 to maintain the surfaces 5 and 20 applied to one another, the inclined surfaces 26, 27 of the branches 25 moving along the inclined surfaces 15, 16 of the ribs 12. Due to the inclination of these surfaces, a tightening force is gradually exerted on the ribs 12, and consequently on the sides of the notch 8, to which they are connected, the body 2 of the rod being tightly clamped between the cylindrical surface portions 10 of the notch to firmly immobilize the workpiece 4 on the body 2. The movement of the workpiece 19 stops when the crosspiece 24 of structure 23 comes in ppui on the upper ends of the ribs 12. The elliptical contour of the surface 20 then coincides with the elliptical contour of the surface 5, the outer surface of the part 19 coming in continuity with that of the part 4.

Dans l'état assemblé des pièces 4 et 19, les encoches 22 de cette dernière sont fermées du côté de la pièce 4 par la surface 5 et forment ainsi des cheminées verticales traversantes de section transversale rectangulaire. Dans chacune de ces cheminées peut s'engager de haut en bas un ergot 34 formé sur un bord vertical 36 d'un panneau d'affichage 37. Le bord vertical non représenté, opposé au bord 36, du panneau 37 présente un ergot semblable à l'ergot 35, qui peut être engagé de la même manière dans une cheminée d'un agencement de fixation semblable à celui formé par les pièces 4 et 19, fixé de la même manière sur une autre tige verticale, pour assurer la fixation du panneau.In the assembled state of the parts 4 and 19, the notches 22 of the latter are closed on the side of the part 4 by the surface 5 and thus form through vertical chimneys of rectangular cross section. In each of these chimneys may engage up and down a lug 34 formed on a vertical edge 36 of a display panel 37. The vertical edge not shown, opposite the edge 36, of the panel 37 has a lug similar to the pin 35, which can be engaged in the same manner in a chimney of a fastening arrangement similar to that formed by the parts 4 and 19, fixed in the same way on another vertical rod, to ensure the fixing of the panel .

Par ailleurs, la pastille 30 peut être remplacée par un crochet 38, représenté sur la figure 3, muni d'une embase 39 propre à remplir le lamage 29, un pion 40 faisant saillie à partir de l'embase 39 et venant s'encliqueter dans le trou 28 pour immobiliser le crochet 38, lequel peut être utilisé pour suspendre un objet tel qu'un tableau.Moreover, the pellet 30 can be replaced by a hook 38, represented on the figure 3 equipped with a base 39 suitable for filling the counterbore 29, a pin 40 protruding from the base 39 and snapping into the hole 28 to immobilize the hook 38, which can be used to suspend an object such as than a table.

Des pièces 4 et 19 identiques à celles décrites ci-dessus et formant un premier agencement de fixation pour fixer un objet sur le corps de la tige peuvent être utilisées pour former un second agencement de fixation pour fixer la tige à un support primaire. Ainsi, sur les figures 5 à 7, un second agencement de fixation 4, 19 sert à fixer la tige 1 à un plafond non représenté par l'intermédiaire d'un support secondaire 50 lui-même fixé à la pièce 4 par des vis 51. Le support 50 est une pièce unique définissant une plaque supérieure horizontale 52 et un pied s'étendant vers le bas à partir d'une partie de la périphérie de la plaque 52 pour reposer sur le dessus de la pièce 4. Les vis 51 s'engagent sensiblement verticalement de bas en haut dans des trous 54 de la pièce 4 et se vissent dans des trous filetés 55 du pied 53, symétriquement l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan P. Avantageusement, les trous 54 sont ébauchés lors du moulage de la pièce, sans déboucher sur le dessus de celle-ci, de manière à demeurer invisible lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés, et la pellicule de matière formant le fond de chaque trou est rompue sous la pression de la vis 51. Une cavité 56 ouverte vers l'avant et fermée vers le bas par la pièce 4, vers le haut par la plaque 52 et vers l'arrière et vers les côtés par le pied 53 loge la tête 3 de la tige et permet l'introduction d'une vis de fixation 57 (figure 7) destinée à s'engager dans un trou 58 traversant la plaque 52 pour se visser dans le plafond. Dans la variante de la figure 6, la fixation au plafond est assurée par une ventouse 59 qui s'accroche dans le trou 58.Parts 4 and 19 identical to those described above and forming a first fastening arrangement for attaching an object to the body of the rod can be used to form a second fastening arrangement for securing the rod to a primary support. Thus, on the Figures 5 to 7 a second fixing arrangement 4, 19 serves to fix the rod 1 to a ceiling not shown by means of a secondary support 50 itself fixed to the piece 4 by screws 51. The support 50 is a single piece defining a horizontal top plate 52 and a foot extending downward from a portion of the periphery of the plate 52 to rest on the top of the part 4. The screws 51 engage substantially vertically from bottom to top in holes 54 of the part 4 and are screwed into threaded holes 55 of the foot 53, symmetrically with respect to the plane P. Advantageously, the holes 54 are roughed during the molding of the part, without opening on the top thereof, so as to remain invisible when not in use, and the film of material forming the bottom of each hole is broken under the pressure of the screw 51. A cavity 56 open to the 'before and closed down by the piece 4, upwards by the plate 52 and backwards and to the sides by the foot 53 houses the head 3 of the rod and allows the introduction of a fixing screw 57 ( figure 7 ) intended to engage in a hole 58 through the plate 52 to screw into the ceiling. In the variant of the figure 6 , fixing to the ceiling is provided by a suction cup 59 which is hooked in the hole 58.

Sur les figures 10 et 11, les mêmes pièces 4 et 19 sont associées à une autre pièce 60, représentée séparément sur la figure 8, servant de support secondaire pour la fixation du dispositif à une paroi verticale non représentée. Le support 60 comporte une base 61 destinée à supporter la pièce 4, et un rebord 62 s'étendant vers le haut à partir de la moitié arrière environ de la périphérie de la base pour entourer partiellement la pièce 4. La face supérieure de la base 61 présente des bossages 63, qui coopèrent avec des évidements 64 (figure 9) formés sur le dessous de la pièce 4 pour assurer un positionnement stable de cette dernière. Les ébauches de trous 54 mentionnées à propos de la figure 5 sont avantageusement formés à partir du fond des évidements 64. Une encoche 65 est ménagée dans la base 61 pour permettre le passage de la tige 1. Le rebord 62 est percé d'un trou 66 dont l'axe horizontal est situé dans le plan de symétrie P, permettant le passage d'une vis 67 destinée à fixer la pièce 60, et par son intermédiaire l'agencement 4-19, à un mur vertical. En variante, comme représenté sur la figure 11, le trou 66 peut recevoir une ventouse 67 semblable à la ventouse 59 pour la fixation du dispositif à une vitrine.On the Figures 10 and 11 , the same parts 4 and 19 are associated with another part 60, shown separately on the figure 8 , serving as a secondary support for fixing the device to a vertical wall, not shown. The support 60 includes a base 61 for supporting the workpiece 4, and a rim 62 extending upwardly from the rear half of the periphery of the base to partially surround the workpiece 4. The upper face of the base 61 has bosses 63, which cooperate with recesses 64 ( figure 9 ) formed on the underside of the part 4 to ensure a stable positioning of the latter. The blanks of holes 54 mentioned about the figure 5 are advantageously formed from the bottom of the recesses 64. A notch 65 is formed in the base 61 to allow the passage of the rod 1. The flange 62 is pierced with a hole 66 whose horizontal axis is located in the plane of P symmetry, allowing the passage of a screw 67 for securing the part 60, and through it the arrangement 4-19, to a vertical wall. Alternatively, as shown on the figure 11 , the hole 66 can receive a suction cup 67 similar to the suction cup 59 for fixing the device to a showcase.

Sur les figures 12 et 13 sont représentés une tige 1, un support secondaire 60 et une ventouse 67 semblables aux éléments correspondants de la figure 11, et des pièces 104 et 119 quelque peu modifiées par rapport aux pièces 4 et 19 décrites précédemment, les parties constitutives des pièces 104 et 119 étant désignées par les mêmes numéros de référence que les parties homologues des pièces 4 et 19, augmentées de 100. La pièce 104 diffère légèrement de la pièce 4 par la forme des ailes 114 des nervures 112, sans changement dans leur fonction.On the Figures 12 and 13 are represented a rod 1, a secondary support 60 and a suction cup 67 similar to the corresponding elements of the figure 11 , and parts 104 and 119 somewhat modified compared to parts 4 and 19 described above, the component parts of the parts 104 and 119 being designated by the same reference numerals as the homologous parts of the parts 4 and 19, increased by 100. The part 104 differs slightly from the part 4 by the shape of the wings 114 of the ribs 112, without change in their function.

La traverse 124 de la structure de liaison de la pièce 119 porte un tenon 70 destinée à s'engager dans la région 109 de l'encoche 108 de la pièce 104 et présentant à cet effet des faces latérales planes et verticales 71 propres à venir en appui sur les faces de la région 109. L'extrémité libre 72 du tenon 70 presse le corps 2 de la tige 1 contre le fond de l'encoche 108 et présente une courbure concave de manière à compléter la région 110 de cette encoche pour entourer étroitement le corps sur la majeure partie de sa circonférence, lorsque les pièces 104 et 119 sont assemblées autour de celui-ci. Le trou 28 et le lamage 29 sont supprimés sur la pièce 119, de sorte qu'il n'est pas possible d'y adapter le crochet 38 de la figure 3. Au lieu de cela, il est prévu une pièce 80 qui diffère de la pièce 119 par une saillie 81 en forme de crochet formée à son extrémité avant et qui peut donc être utilisée, en combinaison avec la pièce 104, en remplacement de l'ensemble des pièces 4, 19 et 38.The crosspiece 124 of the connecting structure of the part 119 carries a pin 70 intended to engage in the region 109 of the notch 108 of the part 104 and having for this purpose flat and vertical lateral faces 71 adapted to come into bearing on the faces of the region 109. The free end 72 of the tenon 70 presses the body 2 of the rod 1 against the bottom of the notch 108 and has a concave curvature so as to complete the region 110 of this notch to surround tightly the body over most of its circumference, when the pieces 104 and 119 are assembled around it. The hole 28 and the counterbore 29 are removed on the part 119, so that it is not possible to adapt the hook 38 of the figure 3 . Instead, there is provided a workpiece 80 which differs from the workpiece 119 by a hook-shaped projection 81 formed at its front end and which can therefore be used, in combination with the workpiece 104, to replace the workpiece. parts 4, 19 and 38.

De même, la figure 15 représente une pièce 85 qui diffère de la pièce 119 par la présence de deux trous verticaux traversants 86 au voisinage de son extrémité avant, permettant la fixation d'un appareil d'éclairage.Similarly, figure 15 represents a part 85 which differs from the part 119 by the presence of two vertical through holes 86 in the vicinity of its front end, allowing the attachment of a lighting apparatus.

En remplacement de la tige 1 de la figure 1, on peut utiliser la tige la partiellement représentée sur la figure 2, qui comprend un corps 2 semblable à celui de la tige 1, et une tête formée d'un tronçon d'extrémité vertical 3a-1 et d'un tronçon de raccordement incliné 3a-2 reliant le tronçon 3a-1 au corps 2, cette tête pouvant être obtenue, comme la tête 3, par déformation à chaud de la tige extrudée, et pouvant elle aussi s'appuyer sur le dessus de la pièce 4. La tige la présente l'avantage être utilisable non seulement avec un second agencement de fixation comme décrit ici, mais également avec un rail horizontal pour former une cimaise, de la manière décrite dans FR 2 790 047 A .In replacement of the rod 1 of the figure 1 , one can use the stem partially represented on the figure 2 , which comprises a body 2 similar to that of the rod 1, and a head formed of a vertical end section 3a-1 and of an inclined connection section 3a-2 connecting the section 3a-1 to the body 2, this head can be obtained, like the head 3, by hot deformation of the extruded rod, and can also rest on the top of the part 4. The rod has the advantage be used not only with a second attachment arrangement as described herein, but also with a horizontal rail for forming a chair rail, as described in FR 2 790 047 A .

La description ci-dessus n'a aucun caractère limitatif. En particulier, les pièces du dispositif peuvent être modifiées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention pour s'adapter à des supports primaires et/ou à des objets à fixer différents de ceux mentionnés. La liaison des pièces d'assemblage peut s'effectuer par des profils différents du profil en L des nervures 12 et du profil correspondant des branches 25, par exemple des profils en queue d'aronde. Des moyens d'encliquetage peuvent être prévus pour stabiliser la position d'assemblage de ces pièces, par exemple sous la forme de pions sur l'une des pièces coopérant avec des empreintes sur l'autre pièce. Un même support secondaire peut être muni de moyens permettant de le fixer indifféremment sur un support primaire horizontal ou sur un support primaire vertical. Une première pièce d'assemblage et un support secondaire peuvent être combinés en une seule pièce.The description above has no limiting character. In particular, the parts of the device can be modified without departing from the scope of the invention to adapt to primary media and / or objects to be fixed different from those mentioned. The connection of the connecting pieces can be effected by different profiles of the L-shaped profile of the ribs 12 and the corresponding profile of the branches 25, for example dovetail profiles. Ratchet means may be provided to stabilize the assembly position of these parts, for example in the form of pins on one of the parts cooperating with fingerprints on the other part. The same secondary support may be provided with means for fixing it indifferently on a horizontal primary support or on a vertical primary support. A first assembly part and a secondary support can be combined into one piece.
