The frame has an overhead frame to tension external canvas of a shelter, and four gutters (22) integrating plane units (18) arranged to form a floor. A round cavity (42) integrates the external canvas of the shelter. The gutters act towards the base by compression and are disposed on an upper part of a foundation frame. The round cavity acts by lateral tension and is arranged on the sides of the foundation frame. An independent claim is also included for a tent type shelter.

Description

La présente invention concerne une ossature qui puisse être facilement montée et démontée. Une telle ossature est plus particulièrement destinée à un abri. L'invention se rapporte également à une tente ou à un abri analogue, munie d'une ossature démontable.The present invention relates to a frame that can be easily mounted and disassembled. Such a frame is more particularly intended for a shelter. The invention also relates to a tent or a similar shelter, provided with a removable frame.

Le camping est l'une des activités de loisir les plus populaires et des tentes sont généralement utilisées pour constituer un abri provisoire. Ces abris possèdent le plus souvent une forme triangulaire de type « Canadienne » ou une forme de dôme. Ce type d'abri présente ainsi de manière bien connue une protection supérieure sous la forme d'une toile souple, une armature aérienne sur laquelle est tendue la toile et, le cas échéant, un tapis de base au sol.Camping is one of the most popular recreational activities and tents are usually used to provide temporary shelter. These shelters most often have a triangular "Canadian" shape or a domed shape. This type of shelter thus well known a superior protection in the form of a flexible fabric, an aerial reinforcement on which the canvas is stretched and, where appropriate, a base mat on the ground.

Ces abris répondent aux critères de légèreté pour permettre leur transport aisé par l'utilisateur. Ils doivent de ce fait être facilement et rapidement montés à l'endroit souhaité, puis être démontés. En plus du domaine des loisirs, et en raison de l'amélioration de la qualité des tissus, ces abris ont pris d'autres dimensions et de nombreuses autres applications ont été développées.These shelters meet the criteria of lightness to allow their easy transport by the user. They must therefore be easily and quickly mounted to the desired location and then dismantled. In addition to the field of recreation, and because of improved tissue quality, these shelters have taken on other dimensions and many other applications have been developed.

Les abris avec leur armature présentent souvent une faible résistance aux contraintes mécaniques, par exemple provoquées par les intempéries, s'exerçant sur l'armature et la toile. Cette résistance peu élevée peut conduire à des déformations, voire à des ruptures de l'armature. En outre, l'abri peut s'affaisser, en raison du manque de liaisons mécaniques entre la toile, l'armature, le tapis de sol et le sol lui-même.The shelters with their frame often have a low resistance to mechanical stresses, for example caused by the weather, acting on the frame and the fabric. This low resistance can lead to deformations, or even breaks in the frame. In addition, the shelter can collapse, due to the lack of mechanical links between the canvas, the frame, the floor mat and the floor itself.

Les abris sont installés sur le sol, qui est le plus souvent peu aménagé pour recevoir ces structures et les utilisateurs qui s'y tiennent. Selon la configuration et la nature du terrain, et surtout en cas de mauvais temps, le sol devient rapidement inutilisable par la boue qui s'y forme. De plus, le sol offre souvent une surface qui est inégale, avec des bosses, de la végétation et des cailloux. Un tel endroit protégé par l'abri est non seulement esthétiquement déplaisant, mais en plus devient dangereux.The shelters are installed on the ground, which is usually poorly equipped to receive these structures and the users who stick to them. Depending on the configuration and the nature of the terrain, and especially in bad weather, the soil quickly becomes unusable by the mud that forms there. In addition, the soil often has an uneven surface with bumps, vegetation and pebbles. Such a sheltered spot is not only aesthetically unpleasant, but also dangerous.

Art antérieurPrior art

Pour pallier ces difficultés, des tapis en matériaux synthétiques sont souvent posés sur le sol, protégeant uniquement les zones de passage. En raison de leur souplesse, les tapis épousent les formes du sol et ne résolvent pas les problèmes des irrégularités. En plus, les tapis présentent entre-eux des zones de jonction qui sont à l'origine de chutes pour les utilisateurs qui se trouvent ou qui marchent dans l'abri. Comme autre solution, des planchers en bois sont également rajoutés à l'intérieur des abris. Du bois est utilisé et peut être considéré comme satisfaisant.To overcome these difficulties, carpets made of synthetic materials are often placed on the ground, protecting only the areas of passage. Because of their flexibility, carpets marry the shapes of the soil and do not solve the problems of irregularities. In addition, the mats have between them junction areas that are the cause of falls for users who are or walking in the shelter. As another solution, wooden floors are also added inside the shelters. Wood is used and can be considered satisfactory.

Cependant, de tels planchers doivent être systématiquement adaptés par découpage, pour recouvrir la superficie adéquate correspondant à la surface du sol à recouvrir. Ainsi, ils ne présentent pas forcément les mêmes dimensions que celles de la surface au sol de l'abri. De tels planchers génèrent des zones restant dégarnies, situées principalement sur les bords entre la toile et le plancher. De telles zones formant des trous peuvent être sources de chutes d'utilisateurs. Ces zones constituent également des vides dans lesquels la toile va claquer de manière continue lorsqu'il y a du vent. Dans ces zones le vent s'engouffre lorsque la toile est mal ajustée au sol. Des pertes d'énergie calorifique sont aussi constatées au niveau de ces zones, ces pertes étant d'autant plus gênantes que l'abri est chauffé.However, such floors must be systematically adapted by cutting to cover the appropriate area corresponding to the surface of the soil to be covered. Thus, they do not necessarily have the same dimensions as those of the ground surface of the shelter. Such floors generate areas left bare, located mainly on the edges between the canvas and the floor. Such areas forming holes can be a source of user falls. These areas are also voids in which the canvas will snap continuously when there is wind. In these areas the wind rushes when the canvas is poorly adjusted to the ground. Losses of heat energy are also noted in these areas, these losses being all the more troublesome as the shelter is heated.

On connaît d'après les documents GB- 271.804 et GB- 256.242 une tente comprenant une toile, des pièces formant une armature aérienne et un châssis de base. Un plancher comprenant des plaques est placé sur le châssis de base. La toile de tente est maintenue par le châssis de base, par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce fixée par laçage à la toile et faisant le tour du châssis.de baste.We know from the documents GB-271,804 and GB-256.242 a tent comprising a canvas, parts forming an overhead frame and a base frame. A floor including plates is placed on the base frame. The tent fabric is held by the base frame, through a piece laced to the fabric and around the base frame.

Ainsi, il n'y a aucune liaison mécanique entre le plancher et la toile. En cas de fortes intempéries, la toile est soumise à de fortes contraintes mécaniques, qui se transmettent uniquement aux zones de fixation de cette toile sur l'armature. En raison de ces sollicitations importantes, la durée de vie de la toile et/ou de l'armature va diminuer, engendrant des déchirures de la toile ou même des ruptures de l'armature, pouvant conduire à un affaissement de la structure de type tente.Thus, there is no mechanical connection between the floor and the fabric. In case of severe weather, the fabric is subjected to high mechanical stresses, which are transmitted only to the fixing areas of this fabric on the frame. Due to these significant stresses, the life of the fabric and / or the reinforcement will decrease, causing tears in the fabric or even breaks in the frame, which may lead to a collapse of the tent-like structure. .

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

Un problème principal que se propose de résoudre l'invention consiste à mettre au point une ossature qui puisse être facilement montée et démontée. Un deuxième problème est de prévoir une ossature capable de reprendre l'ensemble des forces s'exerçant sur l'armature aérienne ou sur la protection. Un troisième problème est la réalisation d'une ossature, apte à reprendre la majeure partie des contraintes mécaniques s'exerçant sur l'armature et/ou sur le plancher et/ou sur la protection. Un quatrième problème à résoudre est l'adaptation d'un plancher à un abri, qui soit de manière analogue facilement monté et démonté. Un cinquième problème est de réaliser une ossature avec un plancher reportant les forces sur son piétement, tout en suivant la configuration du sol. Un sixième problème est de concevoir un abri démontable, par exemple une tente, incluant une ossature démontable.A main problem to be solved by the invention is to develop a frame that can be easily assembled and dismounted. A second problem is to provide a framework capable of taking up all the forces acting on the aerial reinforcement or on the protection. A third problem is the realization of a frame, able to take up most of the mechanical constraints acting on the frame and / or floor and / or protection. A fourth problem to be solved is the adaptation of a floor to a shelter, which is similarly easily mounted and disassembled. A fifth problem is to realize a frame with a floor postponing the forces on its base, while following the configuration of the ground. A sixth problem is to design a removable shelter, for example a tent, including a removable frame.

De façon connue, une ossature démontable, destinée à une structure démontable formant un abri, comprenant au moins une protection, une ou plusieurs pièces constituant une armature aérienne pour la mise en tension de la ou des protections, et un châssis de base, sensiblement plan, apte à solidariser la ou les pièces constituant l'armature aérienne, de façon à ce que ledit châssis de base reprenne l'ensemble des forces s'exerçant sur ladite armature aérienne, le châssis de base présentant :

  • des premiers moyens de fixation solidarisant un ou plusieurs éléments plans agencés pour former un plancher, et
  • des deuxièmes moyens de fixation solidarisant la ou les protections de l'abri.
In known manner, a removable frame, intended for a removable structure forming a shelter, comprising at least one protection, one or more pieces constituting an overhead armature for the tensioning of the protection or protections, and a substantially plane base frame , able to secure the component (s) constituting the overhead reinforcement, so that said base frame takes up all the forces exerted on said aerial reinforcement, the base frame having:
  • first fixing means solidarisant one or more planar elements arranged to form a floor, and
  • second securing means solidarisant the protection or protections of the shelter.

Conformément à un premier aspect de l'invention, l'ossature démontable est caractérisée en ce que les premiers et deuxièmes moyens de fixation sont sous la forme de creux et d'excroissances, constituant respectivement des parties femelles et des parties mâles, dans lesquels viennent se loger des excroissances ou des creux correspondants, constituant respectivement des parties mâles et des parties femelles, prévus au niveau du ou des éléments plans et au niveau de la ou des protections.According to a first aspect of the invention, the removable frame is characterized in that the first and second fixing means are in the form of recesses and protuberances, respectively constituting female parts and male parts, in which to accommodate corresponding excrescences or recesses constituting respectively male parts and female parts, provided at the level of the flat elements and at the level or the protections.

Autrement dit, avec l'ossature démontable incluant un châssis, toutes les contraintes mécaniques supportées par le plancher et toutes les contraintes mécaniques supportées par l'armature aérienne sont reportées de manière globale sur ce châssis de base. L'ensemble des forces, qui sont internes à l'abri, s'exerçant sur le ou les éléments plans du plancher, sont reprises par le châssis. De manière analogue, l'ensemble des forces, qui sont externes à l'abri, s'exerçant sur la ou les protections de l'abri, sont reprises par le châssis. Par voie de conséquence, l'armature aérienne va être soumise à des forces beaucoup plus réduites, ce qui va la soulager. Ce système simple associé au châssis permet un accrochage et un décrochage rapide du ou des éléments plans et de la ou des protections.In other words, with the removable frame including a frame, all the mechanical stresses supported by the floor and all the mechanical stresses supported by the aerial reinforcement are reported globally on this base frame. All forces, which are internal to the shelter, acting on the flat elements or planes of the floor, are taken up by the frame. Similarly, all the forces, which are external to the shelter, being exerted on the protection or protections of the shelter, are taken up by the frame. As a result, the aerial reinforcement will be subjected to much smaller forces, which will relieve it. This simple system associated with the frame allows quick attachment and unhooking of the flat elements and the or protections.

Les premiers moyens de fixation, prévus pour la solidarisation du ou des éléments plans, peuvent agir en compression vers le bas et peuvent être disposés sur la partie supérieure du châssis de base. Cet agencement entre châssis et éléments plans permet d'absorber de manière efficace les poussées exercées par le poids des utilisateurs sur le plancher.The first fixing means, provided for joining the flat element or elements, can act in compression downwards and can be arranged on the upper part of the base frame. This arrangement between frame and planar elements can effectively absorb the thrusts exerted by the weight of users on the floor.

Les deuxièmes moyens de fixation prévus pour la solidarisation de la ou des protections peuvent agir en traction latérale et peuvent être disposés sur les côtés de ce châssis de base. Cette position reprend les forces transmises par la ou les protections sur le châssis et ainsi sur l'ossature, de façon à empêcher tout arrachage de cette ou de ces protections.The second fastening means provided for the fastening of the or protections can act in lateral traction and can be arranged on the sides of this base frame. This position takes up the forces transmitted by the protection or protections on the frame and thus on the frame, so as to prevent any tearing of this or these protections.

Très préférentiellement, le châssis de base peut être périphérique, incluant, potentiellement, une ou plusieurs traverses longitudinales. Un tel périmètre, constituant un pourtour mécaniquement actif pour l'ossature, est auto stable et autoporteur. Le châssis avec sa traverse peut être formé par un profilé creux. Pour une parfaite adaptation à la longueur et à la largeur souhaitée pour le plancher et pour l'aspect montage-démontage, le profilé périphérique de ce châssis peut être formé à partir de segments allongés individuels. Ces segments peuvent être reliés entre eux par des manchons, internes ou externes, qui peuvent être insérés et fixés à l'intérieur du profilé creux, de façon à accroître d'avantage la rigidité de ce châssis autoporteur.Most preferably, the base frame may be peripheral, potentially including one or more longitudinal sleepers. Such a perimeter, constituting a mechanically active periphery for the frame, is self-stable and self-supporting. The frame with its cross member may be formed by a hollow profile. For a perfect fit to the desired length and width for the floor and for the assembly-disassembly aspect, the peripheral profile of this frame can be formed from individual elongated segments. These segments can be interconnected by sleeves, internal or external, which can be inserted and fixed inside the hollow profile, so as to further increase the rigidity of the self-supporting frame.

Dans une forme de réalisation intéressante, le ou les éléments plans peuvent favorablement comprendre une plaque supérieure, pouvant être maintenue par un ou plusieurs longerons longitudinaux inférieurs et deux ou plusieurs faces latérales pouvant être munies de crochets, jouant le rôle de parties mâles pouvant coopérer avec les premiers moyens de fixation du châssis de base. Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le ou les éléments plans peuvent comprendre une plaque en un ou plusieurs matériaux amortissants. La ou les protections peuvent comprendre une pièce rapportée avec un crochet et/ou un jonc périphérique, pouvant coopérer avec les deuxièmes moyens de fixation du châssis de base.In an advantageous embodiment, the flat element or elements can advantageously comprise an upper plate, which can be held by one or more longitudinal lower longitudinal members and two or more lateral faces that can be provided with hooks, acting as male parts that can cooperate with the first fixing means of the base frame. In another embodiment, the at least one planar member may comprise a plate of one or more damping materials. The or protections may comprise an insert with a hook and / or a peripheral ring, which can cooperate with the second fastening means of the base frame.

Le châssis présente également une vocation de support pour différents accessoires techniques servant au maintien et à l'esthétique de l'abri. Ainsi, l'ossature peut avantageusement comprendre en outre au moins un piètement, pouvant être fixé sous le châssis de base. L'ossature peut comprendre en outre un ou plusieurs raccords, externes ou internes, pouvant être fixés sur le châssis de base et solidarisant la ou les pièces de l'armature aérienne.The chassis also has a vocation of support for various technical accessories for the maintenance and aesthetics of the shelter. Thus, the framework may advantageously also comprise at least one base, which can be fixed under the basic chassis. The frame may further comprise one or more connections, external or internal, which can be fixed on the base frame and solidariser or parts of the aerial reinforcement.

Conformément à un deuxième aspect de l'invention, un abri, de type tente, est
caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une protection, une ou plusieurs pièces constituant une armature aérienne pour la mise en tension de la ou des protections et une ossature démontable, telle que décrite ci-dessus.According to a second aspect of the invention, a shelter, tent type, is
characterized in that it comprises a protection, one or more parts constituting an overhead armature for the tensioning of the protection or protections and a removable frame, as described above.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

Comme le représente la Figure 1, un abri (1), par exemple une tente démontable, comprend une protection sous la forme d'une toile supérieure extérieure (2) délimitant et recouvrant le volume intérieur de l'abri (1). La toile extérieure (2) présente une face supérieure (3), des faces latérales (4), une face arrière (6) et une face avant (7) avec une ouverture (8), par exemple fermée par une fermeture à glissière.As represented by Figure 1 , a shelter (1), for example a removable tent, comprises a protection in the form of an outer upper fabric (2) delimiting and covering the interior volume of the shelter (1). The outer fabric (2) has an upper face (3), side faces (4), a rear face (6) and a front face (7) with an opening (8), for example closed by a zipper.

Selon l'invention, l'abri (1) comprend une ossature avec un plancher (9) à surface supérieure (S) sensiblement plane. L'ensemble de l'ossature de l'abri (1) est montée sur piètement inférieur (11), assurant l'écartement, la stabilité et la mise à niveau par rapport au sol. Afin de maintenir et de tendre la toile extérieure (2), l'ossature comprend une armature aérienne (12). L'armature (12) est fixée au plancher (9). Cette armature (12) est composée d'une série de tubes (13) formant les montants latéraux et d'arceaux associés (14) formant les voûtes supérieures de l'abri (1).According to the invention, the shelter (1) comprises a frame with a floor (9) with an upper surface (S) substantially flat. The entire frame of the shelter (1) is mounted on lower base (11), ensuring the spacing, stability and leveling relative to the ground. In order to maintain and tension the outer fabric (2), the frame comprises an air reinforcement (12). The armature (12) is fixed to the floor (9). This armature (12) is composed of a series of tubes (13) forming the lateral uprights and associated arches (14) forming the upper vaults of the shelter (1).

Comme cela est plus particulièrement visible en Figures 2 et 3, et selon l'invention, l'ossature comprend un châssis périphérique (16) formant ainsi un cadre. Pour venir compléter l'ossature et renforcer sa périphérie, une traverse centrale (17) est solidarisée longitudinalement au châssis (16).As this is particularly visible in Figures 2 and 3 , and according to the invention, the frame comprises a peripheral frame (16) thus forming a frame. To complete the frame and reinforce its periphery, a central cross member (17) is secured longitudinally to the frame (16).

Le plancher (9) comprend plusieurs éléments plans (18), par exemple au nombre de quatorze pour l'exemple de réalisation de la Figure 3. Ces éléments plans (18) sont jointifs est constituent la surface supérieure (S) sensiblement plane du plancher (9). Vu du dessus, les éléments plans (18) ont une forme de rectangle.The floor (9) comprises a plurality of planar elements (18), for example fourteen in number for the exemplary embodiment of the Figure 3 . These planar elements (18) are contiguous and constitute the substantially flat upper surface (S) of the floor (9). Viewed from above, the planar elements (18) have a rectangle shape.

Ces éléments plans (18) sont à la fois fixés sur le châssis (16) et sur la traverse (17), avec les petits côtés des rectangles jouxtant les bords longitudinaux du châssis (16) et de la traverse (17), les grands côtés des rectangles les plus extérieurs jouxtant les bords latéraux du châssis (16). Sept éléments plans (18) sont disposés d'un côté de la traverse centrale (17) et sept autres éléments plans (18) sont disposés de l'autre côté de la traverse centrale (17).These planar elements (18) are both fixed on the frame (16) and on the crosspiece (17), with the short sides of the rectangles adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the frame (16) and the cross member (17), the large ones sides of the outermost rectangles adjoining the side edges of the frame (16). Seven planar elements (18) are arranged on one side of the central web (17) and seven other flat elements (18) are arranged on the other side of the central web (17).

Le châssis périphérique (16), ainsi que la traverse (17) se présentent sous la forme d'une série de segments en profilé (19), par exemple d'aluminium, autres aciers, fibres de verre, composites ou matériaux polymères. Le segment en profilé (19) présente une section globale sensiblement carrée. Le segment en profilé (19) possède un trou central (21) avec une section globale sensiblement octogonale. Selon l'invention, le segment en profilé (19) présente des moyens de fixation assurant une solidarisation des éléments plans (18) et de la toile (2).The peripheral frame (16) and the cross member (17) are in the form of a series of profile segments (19), for example of aluminum, other steels, glass fibers, composites or polymeric materials. The segment segment (19) has a substantially square overall section. The profile segment (19) has a central hole (21) with a substantially octagonal overall section. According to the invention, the segment section (19) has fastening means ensuring a joining of the planar elements (18) and the fabric (2).

Les éléments plans (18) et la toile (2) sont fixés sur le segment en profilé (19) grâce à des moyens de fixation analogues à une gouttière (22). La gouttière (22) est ménagée le long du segment en profilé (19) et est ouverte vers le haut, vers la surface supérieure (S). Quatre gouttières (22) sont prévues aux quatre coins du segment en profilé (19).The planar elements (18) and the fabric (2) are fixed to the profile segment (19) by means of gutter-like fastening means (22). The channel (22) is formed along the profile segment (19) and is open upwards to the upper surface (S). Four gutters (22) are provided at the four corners of the profile segment (19).

L'élément plan (18) comprend (voir Figures 5 à 7) une plaque supérieure rectangulaire (23), définissant la surface supérieure (S) du plancher (9), par assemblage avec les autres plaques (23) des autres éléments plans (18). La plaque supérieure rectangulaire (23) est réalisée en bois, en plaques d'aluminium, en polypropylène alvéolaire, en fibres de verre, en composites ou d'autres matériaux polymères. Trois longerons longitudinaux (24) à section sensiblement carrée sont positionnés sous et portent la plaque supérieure (23). Les longerons (24) sont en aluminium soudé.The planar element (18) comprises (see Figures 5 to 7 ) a rectangular upper plate (23), defining the upper surface (S) of the floor (9), by assembly with the other plates (23) of the other planar elements (18). The rectangular top plate (23) is made of wood, aluminum plates, cellular polypropylene, fiberglass, composites or other polymeric materials. Three longitudinal longitudinal members (24) with a substantially square section are positioned under and carry the upper plate (23). The longitudinal members (24) are welded aluminum.

Deux faces latérales (26) maintiennent les longerons ou solives (24). Les extrémités supérieures des faces latérales (26) sont au même niveau que plaque supérieure (23). Les extrémités supérieures des faces latérales (26) sont munies, sur leur longueur, de crochets (27) tournés vers l'extérieur et rabattus vers le bas. Pour les coins du plancher (9) et du châssis de base (16), des éléments plans (18) à trois faces latérales (26) et ainsi trois crochets sont nécessaires.Two lateral faces (26) hold the beams or joists (24). The upper ends of the side faces (26) are at the same level as the upper plate (23). The upper ends of the side faces (26) are provided, along their length, hooks (27) facing outward and folded down. For the corners of the floor (9) and the base frame (16), planar elements (18) with three lateral faces (26) and thus three hooks are necessary.

Dans l'autre mode de réalisation de la Figure 6, le longeron (24) est soudé au crochet (27), au niveau de la face latérale (26). Le crochet (27) comprend en outre un ergot (27a), faisant sailli à partir de la face latérale (26) à l'opposé du profilé (19), et servant d'appui latéral pour la plaque supérieure (23). Dans l'autre mode de réalisation de la Figure 7, le crochet (27b) est seulement muni de l'ergot (27a).In the other embodiment of the Figure 6 , the spar (24) is welded to the hook (27) at the side face (26). The hook (27) further comprises a lug (27a), protruding from the side face (26) opposite the profile (19), and serving as lateral support for the upper plate (23). In the other embodiment of the Figure 7 the hook (27b) is only provided with the lug (27a).

Les crochets (27 et 27b) viennent coopérer avec les moyens de fixation du segment en profilé (19), par insertion dans la gouttière (22). De cette manière, par le poids exercé sur la surface supérieure (S) du plancher (9) et ainsi sur la plaque (23) de l'élément plan (18), une surface de base du crochet (27) vient s'appuyer au fond de la gouttière (22) et transmettre ce même poids à l'ensemble du segment en profilé (19) et du châssis (16) et de la traverse (17).The hooks (27 and 27b) cooperate with the fastening means of the profile segment (19), by insertion into the gutter (22). In this way, by the weight exerted on the upper surface (S) of the floor (9) and thus on the plate (23) of the planar element (18), a base surface of the hook (27) comes to rest at the bottom of the gutter (22) and transmit the same weight to the entire section segment (19) and the frame (16) and the cross member (17).

Dans le mode de réalisation de la Figure 8, le plancher (9) comprend un profilé (19) et une série d'éléments plans (181), se présentant sous la forme de matelas de type tatami, d'une épaisseur environ égale à 5 cm. Le matelas (181) comprend, par exemple, une première couche basale de mousse dure (182), une deuxième couche de mousse plus molle (183) et une troisième couche supérieure de mousse dure (184). Ces différentes mousses de densités différentes (181, 182 et 183) sont incluses dans une housse. Le plancher (9) est posé à même le sol sur une toile de sol épaisse et résistante (185). Un ancrage supplémentaire au moyen de sardines peut être prévu.In the embodiment of the Figure 8 , the floor (9) comprises a profile (19) and a series of flat elements (181), in the form of a mattress of the type tatami, of a thickness approximately equal to 5 cm. The mattress (181) includes, for example, a first basal layer of hard foam (182), a second softer foam layer (183), and a third top layer of hard foam (184). These different foams of different densities (181, 182 and 183) are included in a cover. The floor (9) is laid on the ground on a thick and resistant floor cloth (185). Additional anchoring by means of sardines can be provided.

Une sangle (221) assure le maintien des matelas (181) au profilé (19). Ce type de profilé (19) assure la reprise des forces horizontales s'exerçant sur les matelas (181).A strap (221) maintains the mattresses (181) to the profile (19). This type of profile (19) ensures the recovery of horizontal forces acting on the mattresses (181).

Les segments en profilé (19) sont reliés entre-eux grâce à des manchons internes (28). Lors du montage du châssis (16), le manchon interne (28) s'enfile dans le trou central (21) du segment en profilé (19). Pour un ajustement ferme, le manchon interne (28) possède une section globale sensiblement octogonale complémentaire de la section octogonale du trou central (21). Pour plus de résistance, le manchon interne (28) présente lui-même un vide central (29). Le manchon interne (28) est de plus fixé par vissage aux segments en profilé (19).The profile segments (19) are interconnected by internal sleeves (28). When mounting the frame (16), the inner sleeve (28) is inserted into the central hole (21) of the profile segment (19). For a firm fit, the inner sleeve (28) has a substantially octagonal overall section complementary to the octagonal section of the central hole (21). For greater strength, the inner sleeve (28) itself has a central void (29). The inner sleeve (28) is further secured by screwing to the profile segments (19).

Comme cela est visible en Figures 3, 6, 7 et 9 à 12, pour assurer une liaison en ligne droite entre deux segments en profilé (19), le manchon interne est un manchon linéaire (31). Pour assurer une liaison en embranchement de part et d'autre de la traverse (17), le manchon interne est un manchon en T (32). Pour assurer une liaison à angle droit aux quatre coins du châssis (16), le manchon interne est un manchon coudé ou d'angle (33). Les manchons peuvent également être externes.As is visible in Figures 3 , 6 , 7 and 9 to 12 to provide a straight line connection between two profile segments (19), the inner sleeve is a linear sleeve (31). To provide a branch connection on both sides of the cross member (17), the inner sleeve is a T-sleeve (32). To provide a right-angle connection to the four corners of the frame (16), the inner sleeve is an angled or angled sleeve (33). The sleeves may also be external.

Pour des soucis de confort, l'abri (1) comprend la toile extérieure (2) et une toile intérieure (34), par exemple en moustiquaire (voir Figure 10). Au niveau de l'ouverture (8), deux fermetures à glissière (36) sont prévus pour les deux toiles (2 et 34), pour une ouverture et une fermeture efficace de l'abri (1). Vers leur rebord inférieur, la toile extérieure (2) et la toile intérieure (34) sont reliées entre-elles sur une bande continue (37).For the sake of comfort, the shelter (1) comprises the outer fabric (2) and an inner fabric (34), for example a mosquito net (see Figure 10 ). At the opening (8), two zippers (36) are provided for the two webs (2 and 34), for an opening and effective closure of the shelter (1). Towards their lower edge, the outer fabric (2) and the inner fabric (34) are connected to each other on a continuous strip (37).

Pour la fixation des toiles extérieures (2) et intérieures (34) au châssis (16) et ainsi au segment en profilé (19), un galon (38) à deux extrémités libres est attaché à la bande continue (37). A l'extrémité supérieure libre du galon (38) est prévu un jonc continu (39). A l'extrémité inférieure libre du galon (38) est prévue une boucle (41).For fastening the outer (2) and inner (34) webs to the frame (16) and thus to the profile segment (19), a web (38) with two free ends is attached to the web (37). At the upper free end of the strip (38) is provided a continuous ring (39). At the lower free end of the strip (38) is provided a loop (41).

Le segment en profilé (19) comprend un deuxième moyen de fixation sous la forme d'une cavité ronde (42) agencée dans chacun des côtés latéraux du profilé (19). La cavité ronde (42) est ménagée le long du segment en profilé (19) et s'ouvre latéralement par un passage dont la largeur est très légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur du tissu du galon (38). Pour avoir une souplesse de montage et de réglage des toiles (2 et 34), quatre cavités rondes (42) sont prévues deux à deux sur les deux côtés du segment en profilé (19). Le jonc continu (39) se loge dans la cavité ronde (42), pour un maintien ferme des toiles (2 et 34) au châssis (16).The profile segment (19) comprises a second fixing means in the form of a round cavity (42) arranged in each of the lateral sides of the profile (19). The round cavity (42) is formed along the section segment (19) and opens laterally by a passage whose width is slightly greater than the thickness of the fabric of the strip (38). To have flexible mounting and adjustment of the webs (2 and 34), four round cavities (42) are provided in pairs on both sides of the profile segment (19). The continuous ring (39) is housed in the round cavity (42), for a firm hold of the webs (2 and 34) to the frame (16).

Pour compléter la fixation des toiles (2 et 34) au châssis (16) et au profilé (19) et pour les tendre au niveau de ce châssis (16), une sangle de tension (43) est établie au niveau de la boucle (41) du galon (38). La sangle de tension (43) est munie à son extrémité libre d'un crochet (44). Le crochet (44) coopère avec et vient se loger dans la gouttière inférieure (22), située près de l'élément plan (18), de façon à tenir la sangle de tension (43) et à donner une tension supplémentaire aux deux toiles (2 et 34).To complete the attachment of the cloths (2 and 34) to the frame (16) and the profile (19) and to stretch them at this frame (16), a tension strap (43) is established at the level of the buckle ( 41) of the strip (38). The tension strap (43) is provided at its free end with a hook (44). The hook (44) cooperates with and is housed in the lower gutter (22), located near the plane element (18), so as to hold the tension strap (43) and to give additional tension to the two canvases (2 and 34).

Dans le mode de réalisation de la Figure 8, les toiles (2 et 34) sont fixées au châssis (16) et au profilé (19) par l'intermédiaire d'une sangle de tension (421) faisant le tour du profilé (19).In the embodiment of the Figure 8 , the webs (2 and 34) are fixed to the frame (16) and the profile (19) via a tension strap (421) around the profile (19).

Comme le montrent les Figures 14 et 15, pour que l'ossature avec son châssis autoportant (16) joue parfaitement son rôle de stabilisateur pour l'ensemble de la structure de l'abri (1), le piètement (11) consiste en neufs pieds (46) répartis régulièrement sous le châssis (16).As shown by Figures 14 and 15 , so that the frame with its self-supporting frame (16) perfectly plays its role of stabilizer for the entire structure of the shelter (1), the base (11) consists of nine feet (46) regularly distributed under the chassis (16).

Un pied (46) comprend une embase (47) reposant sur le sol. L'embase (47) est maintenue au sol par des sardines (non représentées). A partir de la plaque de base (47), une barre filetée (48) est orientée vers le haut en direction du châssis (16). Un tube taraudé supérieur (49) traverse de part en part le segment en profilé (19) et est maintenu sous le profilé (19) par une plaquette (51). Pour une libre rotation de la barre filetée (48), un écrou captif (52) est emprisonné par une coupelle (53). Par cet agencement du pied (46), un utilisateur va pouvoir faire tourner la barre filetée (48) à l'intérieur du tube taraudé (49), grâce à une prise pour clé (54). De cette manière, tous les pieds (46) sont réglables en hauteur les uns par rapport aux autres, ce qui permet une parfaite mise à niveau du plancher (9) avec son châssis (16), quelles que soient les irrégularités du sol.A foot (46) comprises a base (47) resting on the ground. The base (47) is held on the ground by sardines (not shown). From the base plate (47), a threaded bar (48) is oriented upwards towards the frame (16). An upper threaded tube (49) passes right through the profiled section (19) and is held under the profile (19) by a plate (51). For free rotation of the threaded bar (48), a captive nut (52) is trapped by a cup (53). By this arrangement of the foot (46), a user will be able to rotate the threaded bar (48) inside the threaded tube (49), through a key socket (54). In this way, all the feet (46) are adjustable in height relative to each other, which allows a perfect leveling of the floor (9) with its frame (16), whatever the irregularities of the ground.

Dans la forme de réalisation de la Figure 15, un deuxième tube taraudé (50) coulisse dans le premier tube taraudé supérieur (19). Le pied (46) peut ainsi être plus long. Une bielle ou diagonale (461) assure un maintien vertical du pied (46).In the embodiment of the Figure 15 a second threaded tube (50) slides in the first upper threaded tube (19). The foot (46) can thus be longer. A connecting rod or diagonal (461) provides vertical support of the foot (46).

Pour compléter la structure de l'abri (1), l'armature (12) est également solidarisée à l'ossature avec son plancher (9) au niveau du châssis (16). Pour ce faire et comme cela est visible en Figure 16, un raccord externe (56) est vissé sur la surface supérieure du segment en profilé (19) par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque sous-jacente (57). Dans la variante de la Figure 17, le raccord (561) est interne et est soudé la surface supérieure du segment en profilé (19) par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque (57).To complete the structure of the shelter (1), the armature (12) is also secured to the frame with its floor (9) at the frame (16). To do this and as is visible in Figure 16 an outer connector (56) is screwed onto the upper surface of the profile segment (19) via an underlying plate (57). In the variant of the Figure 17 the connector (561) is internal and is welded to the upper surface of the profile segment (19) via a plate (57).

Grâce à cette configuration, le tube (13) de l'armature (12) est enfilé dans le raccord (56 et 561). Il est à noter que les angles entre raccord (56 et 561) et plaque sous-jacente (57) peuvent varier pour donner des inclinaisons et des configurations différentes à l'ensemble de l'armature (12).With this configuration, the tube (13) of the armature (12) is threaded into the connector (56 and 561). It should be noted that the angles between connection (56 and 561) and underlying plate (57) can vary to give different inclinations and configurations to the entire armature (12).

Avec le châssis (16) et ses moyens de fixation, il est ainsi obtenu un abri (1) avec une ossature à plancher (9) capable de supporter une charge de l'ordre de 150 kg/m2 à 500 kg/m2. A 500 kg/m2, les volumes pourront accueillir plus de vingt personnes et être accessibles au public (norme ERP CTS). L'abri (1) a une ossature avec une armature aérienne maintenant une toile (2), capable de résister à des vents de 74 km/h (correspondant à Beaufort 8) à 100 km/h. A 100 km/h, les volumes pourront accueillir plus de vingt personnes et être accessibles au public, selon la norme ERP CTS.With the frame (16) and its fixing means, a shelter (1) is thus obtained with a floor frame (9) capable of supporting a load of the order of 150 kg / m 2 to 500 kg / m 2 . At 500 kg / m 2 , the volumes will accommodate more than twenty people and be accessible to the public (ERP CTS standard). The shelter (1) has a frame with an aerial reinforcement holding a canvas (2), capable of withstanding winds of 74 km / h (corresponding to Beaufort 8) at 100 km / h. At 100 km / h, the volumes will accommodate more than twenty people and be accessible to the public, according to the ERP CTS standard.

Outre l'abri donné uniquement à titre d'exemple, les abris sont également prévus comme annexe d'une habitation en créant une véranda, pour servir d'auvent devant la porte d'une caravane, pour constituer des halls d'expositions, des salles pour manifestations sportives et culturelles, des terrasses pour les cafés et restaurants avec vélum ou simples parois de protections créant de l'ombrage, des chapiteaux de cirques ambulants, des équipements provisoires d'hôtellerie de plein-air, par exemple dans des sites à caractères réglementés (parcs naturels, etc.) sans dégradation du cadre de ces sites, des scènes de spectacles, des bungalows et d'autres encore.In addition to the shelter given only as an example, the shelters are also planned as an annex of a dwelling by creating a veranda, to serve as an awning in front of the door of a caravan, to constitute exhibition halls, rooms for sports and cultural events, terraces for cafes and restaurants with a canopy or simple walls of protection creating shading, tent circus circus, temporary equipment for outdoor hotels, for example in sites with regulated characters (natural parks, etc.) without degradation of the setting of these sites, scenes of shows, bungalows and others.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés. De nombreuses modifications peuvent être réalisées, sans pour autant sortir du cadre défini par la portée du jeu de revendications. La forme du châssis (16) peut être variable, par exemple carrée, ovale, en losange ou toute autre forme.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated.
