Description

La présente invention a pour objet un plateau de table comprenant un panneau central et au moins une allonge reliée au panneau central le long d'une arête de celui-ci.The present invention relates to a table top comprising a central panel and at least one extension connected to the central panel along an edge thereof.

Les plateaux actuels de ce type comporte généralement, soit un panneau central relié à plusieurs allonges par des charnières, soit un panneau central par rapport auquel coulissent des allonges, soit un panneau central se séparant en deux parties, l'allonge venant s'insérer entre les deux parties du panneau central.Current trays of this type generally comprise either a central panel connected to several extensions by hinges, or a central panel relative to which elongate slides, or a central panel separating into two parts, the elongation being inserted between the two parts of the central panel.

Des plateaux de ce type voient souvent leur esthétique abîmée par des formes trop complexes ou par la séparation des différentes parties du plateau.Trays of this type often see their aesthetics damaged by overly complex shapes or by the separation of the different parts of the tray.

De telles séparations laissent apparaître des interstices qui sont accessibles, notamment aux enfants, de sorte qu'ils forment des zones dangereuses en cas de basculement des allonges ou de coulissement des différentes parties du plateau.Such separations reveal interstices that are accessible, especially to children, so that they form dangerous areas in case of tilting of the extensions or sliding of the different parts of the plateau.

Ces interstices forment également des zones d'accumulation des saletés difficilement nettoyables.These interstices also form dirt accumulation zones that are difficult to clean.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de disposer d'un plateau qui soit esthétique, dont le déploiement ou la mise en place des allonges est sécurisé et dont l'entretien est facilité.The purpose of the present invention is therefore to have a plate that is aesthetic, the deployment or the implementation of the extensions is secure and maintenance is facilitated.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un plateau de table comprenant un panneau central et au moins une allonge reliée au panneau central le long d'une arête de celui-ci. L'allonge est montée basculante le long de cette arête entre une première position dans laquelle elle est dans le plan du panneau central et une seconde position dans laquelle elle est escamotée. Le plateau constitué par le panneau central et les allonges est revêtu, au moins sur sa face supérieure, d'une plaque souple liée à la face supérieure du panneau central et à la face correspondante de chaque allonge, pour former une charnière permettant le basculement de l'allonge considérée.To this end, the invention relates to a table top comprising a central panel and at least one elongate connected to the central panel along an edge thereof. The elongate is pivotally mounted along this edge between a first position in which it is in the plane of the central panel and a second position in which it is retracted. The tray constituted by the central panel and the extensions is coated, at least on its upper face, with a flexible plate connected to the upper face of the central panel and to the corresponding face of each extension, to form a hinge allowing the tilting of the extension considered.

L'invention résout le problème technique précité en ce que la plaque souple recouvre les interstices entre le panneau central et les allonges, de sorte qu'il n'existe aucune séparation visible, tant en position escamotée qu'en position déployée des allonges, ce qui améliore l'esthétique de la table, la sécurité d'utilisation de celle-ci et facilite son entretien, dans la mesure où les saletés ne peuvent se loger dans les zones de séparation.The invention solves the aforementioned technical problem in that the flexible plate covers the interstices between the central panel and the extensions, so that there is no visible separation, both in the retracted position and in the deployed position of the extensions, this which improves the aesthetics of the table, the safety of use thereof and facilitates its maintenance, insofar as the dirt can not be housed in the separation zones.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, des moyens de renforcement sont disposés dans la zone entre le panneau central et chaque allonge.According to one characteristic of the invention, reinforcing means are arranged in the zone between the central panel and each extension.

Ainsi, la charnière est renforcée de manière à réduire l'effet de la contrainte et de la déformation sur la plaque souple, imposées par le basculement de l'allonge. Ce renfort permet également à la plaque souple de ne pas de déformer sous l'effet d'une charge. La déformation à long terme de la plaque souple due à une utilisation régulière en est donc considérablement diminuée, de manière à augmenter la durée de vie de cet élément.Thus, the hinge is reinforced so as to reduce the effect of the stress and the deformation on the flexible plate, imposed by the tilting of the extension. This reinforcement also allows the flexible plate not to deform under the effect of a load. The long-term deformation of the flexible plate due to regular use is therefore considerably reduced, so as to increase the life of this element.

Selon une première forme d'exécution, les moyens de renforcement sont constitués par une lame métallique déformable, fixée respectivement au panneau central et à l'allonge correspondante, et disposée en dessous de la plaque souple.According to a first embodiment, the reinforcing means are constituted by a deformable metal blade, respectively fixed to the central panel and the corresponding extension, and disposed below the flexible plate.

Selon une seconde variante d'exécution, les moyens de renforcement sont constitués par plusieurs lattes fixées sous la plaque souple, parallèles entre elles et parallèles à l'arête le long de laquelle l'allonge correspondante est montée basculante.According to a second alternative embodiment, the reinforcing means are constituted by several slats fixed under the flexible plate, parallel to each other and parallel to the edge along which the corresponding extension is pivotally mounted.

Lors de l'utilisation de plusieurs lattes parallèles, des facettes apparaissent lors du basculement de l'allonge, dans la zone située entre le panneau central et l'allonge correspondante. Ces facettes sont dues aux empreintes des lattes parallèles sur la face inférieure de la plaque souple, cette déformation apparaissant également au niveau de la face supérieure.When using multiple parallel slats, facets appear when tilting the extension, in the area between the central panel and the corresponding extension. These facets are due to the imprints of the parallel slats on the underside of the flexible plate, this deformation also appearing at the upper face.

L'utilisation d'une lame métallique déformable permet d'obtenir une surface lisse lorsque les allonges sont escamotées.The use of a deformable metal blade provides a smooth surface when the extensions are retracted.

Avantageusement, la plaque souple recouvre également les bords du plateau ainsi qu'au moins une partie de la face inférieure de celui-ci, c'est-à-dire la face inférieure du panneau central et de chaque allonge.Advantageously, the flexible plate also covers the edges of the plate and at least a portion of the lower face thereof, that is to say the underside of the central panel and each extension.

La plaque souple recouvre alors totalement l'accès à la zone charnière, aussi bien par la face supérieure que par face inférieure, ce qui permet encore d'améliorer la sécurité du plateau. En outre, le recouvrement des bords et de la face inférieure permet de protéger les éléments disposés sous le panneau central ou les allonges, et d'obtenir une surface continue esthétique.The flexible plate then completely covers the access to the hinge zone, both by the upper face than by the lower face, which further improves the safety of the plate. In addition, the overlapping of the edges and the lower face makes it possible to protect the elements arranged under the central panel or the extensions, and to obtain a continuous aesthetic surface.

Selon une possibilité avantageuse, la plaque souple est en matériau élastomère, tel que du polyuréthanne ou du silicone.According to an advantageous possibility, the flexible plate is made of elastomeric material, such as polyurethane or silicone.

Ce type de matériau permet de réaliser une plaque souple possédant de bonnes caractéristiques d'élasticité et de tenue à la déformation.This type of material makes it possible to produce a flexible plate having good characteristics of elasticity and resistance to deformation.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'épaisseur de la plaque souple est comprise entre 3 mm et 5 mm.According to one characteristic of the invention, the thickness of the flexible plate is between 3 mm and 5 mm.

Cette plage d'épaisseur permet de garantir un bon compromis entre la résistance d'une part et la capacité de déformation de la plaque ou le coût de fabrication d'autre part.This range of thickness makes it possible to guarantee a good compromise between the resistance on the one hand and the capacity of deformation of the plate or the manufacturing cost on the other hand.

Avantageusement, le panneau central est de forme carrée ou rectangulaire, les allonges ayant une forme de portion de disque.Advantageously, the central panel is of square or rectangular shape, the extensions having a disk portion shape.

Ainsi, lorsque les allonges sont en position escamotée, le plateau est de forme carrée ou rectangulaire, ce qui limite son encombrement. En position dépliée, les allonges en forme de portion de disque permettent de donner au plateau une forme générale circulaire ou ovale, ce qui s'avère plus agréable pour des repas à plusieurs convives.Thus, when the extensions are in the retracted position, the plate is square or rectangular, which limits its size. In the unfolded position, the disc-shaped elongations make it possible to give the tray a generally circular or oval shape, which proves more pleasant for meals for several guests.

Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, le plateau comporte en outre au moins une console reliée à l'allonge correspondante et montée pivotante autour d'un axe sur un coulisseau, le coulisseau étant déplaçable en translation perpendiculairement à l'axe.According to one embodiment of the invention, the plate further comprises at least one bracket connected to the corresponding extension and pivotally mounted about an axis on a slide, the slide being movable in translation perpendicular to the axis.

La translation du coulisseau permet le déplacement de la console pendant le basculement des allonges, de manière à compenser la formation d'un intervalle entre le panneau central et l'allonge correspondante lors du basculement de cette dernière.The translation of the slide allows the movement of the console during the tilting of the extensions, so as to compensate for the formation of a gap between the central panel and the corresponding extension when the latter tilts.

De manière avantageuse, la console comprend en outre un bord d'appui, la forme de la plaque souple étant guidée par la forme du bord d'appui lors du basculement de l'allonge.Advantageously, the console further comprises a support edge, the shape of the flexible plate being guided by the shape of the bearing edge during tilting of the elongate.

Cette caractéristique additionnelle permet d'éviter la formation aléatoire de plis lors du basculement de l'allonge, la forme du pli réalisé lors de cette opération étant guidée par celle du bord d'appui de la console.This additional feature avoids the random formation of folds during the tilting of the extension, the shape of the fold made during this operation being guided by that of the support edge of the console.

L'invention concerne également une table équipée d'un tel plateau.The invention also relates to a table equipped with such a tray.

De toute façon l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, plusieurs formes d'exécution de ce plateau.In any case the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing, by way of nonlimiting examples, several embodiments of this plate.

Figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un plateau de table, les allonges étant dans une première position dans laquelle elles sont dans le plan du panneau central.Figure 1 is a top view of a table top, the extensions being in a first position in which they are in the plane of the central panel.

Figure 2 est une vue de dessus de ce plateau de table, les allonges étant dans une seconde position dans laquelle elles sont escamotées sous le panneau central.Figure 2 is a top view of this table top, the extensions being in a second position in which they are retracted under the central panel.

Figure 3 est une vue partielle, à échelle agrandie, en coupe III-III de la figure 1, du plateau selon un premier mode de réalisation, une allonge étant dans une première position dans laquelle elles est dans le plan du panneau central.Figure 3 is a partial view, on an enlarged scale, in section III-III of Figure 1, the tray according to a first embodiment, an extension being in a first position in which they are in the plane of the central panel.

Figure 4 est une vue similaire à celle de la figure 3, l'allonge étant en position escamotée.Figure 4 is a view similar to that of Figure 3, the elongate being in the retracted position.

Figure 5 est une vue correspondant à celle de la figure 3 d'un second mode de réalisation.Figure 5 is a view corresponding to that of Figure 3 of a second embodiment.

Figure 6 est une vue partielle de dessous, en perspective, du second mode de réalisation.Figure 6 is a partial bottom view, in perspective, of the second embodiment.

Figure 7 est une vue correspondant à celle de la figure 4 du second mode de réalisation.Figure 7 is a view corresponding to that of Figure 4 of the second embodiment.

La figure 1 représente un plateau de table selon l'invention comportant un panneau central 1 de forme carré et quatre allonges 2 en forme de portion de disque, situées, dans une première position, dans le plan du panneau central 1. Les quatre arêtes 3 du panneau central 1 sont parallèles aux quatre arêtes droites 4 des allonges 2 et servent au montage pivotant des allonges. Les bords 5 en forme d'arc de cercle des allonges 2 sont orientés vers l'extérieur.FIG. 1 shows a table top according to the invention comprising a central panel 1 of square shape and four extensions 2 in the form of a disk portion, situated, in a first position, in the plane of the central panel 1. The four edges 3 of the central panel 1 are parallel to the four straight edges 4 of the extensions 2 and serve for the pivotal mounting of the extensions. The edges 5 in the form of an arc of the extensions 2 are oriented outwards.

Des intervalles 6 sont ménagés entre le panneau central 1 et les allonges 2.Intervals 6 are provided between the central panel 1 and the extensions 2.

Le plateau constitué par le panneau central 1 et les quatre allonges 2 est revêtu par une plaque souple 7 en élastomère, préférentiellement en polyuréthanne ou en silicone. Cette plaque 7 est liée à la face supérieure du panneau central 1 ainsi qu'à la face correspondante de chaque allonge, recouvrant également les intervalles 6. La plaque souple 7 forme alors la charnière de chacune des allonges 2.The plate consisting of the central panel 1 and the four extensions 2 is coated with a flexible plate 7 of elastomer, preferably polyurethane or silicone. This plate 7 is connected to the upper face of the central panel 1 and to the corresponding face of each extension, also covering the gaps 6. The flexible plate 7 then forms the hinge of each of the extensions 2.

Chaque allonge 2 peut alors basculer entre une première position, représentée en figure 1, dans laquelle elle se situe dans le plan du panneau central 1 et une seconde position, représentée en figure 2, dans laquelle elle est escamotée. Les allonges peuvent être escamotées de manière à se entièrement rabattues sous le panneau central 1, dans un plan parallèle à celui-ci. Elles peuvent encore être escamotées partiellement, par exemple de manière à se situer dans un plan perpendiculaire à celui défini par le panneau central.Each elongate 2 can then switch between a first position, shown in Figure 1, wherein it is in the plane of the central panel 1 and a second position, shown in Figure 2, in which it is retracted. The extensions can be retracted so as to be fully folded under the central panel 1, in a plane parallel thereto. They can still be partially retracted, for example from to be in a plane perpendicular to that defined by the central panel.

On dispose ainsi d'un plateau de forme ronde dans la première position (figure 1), transformable en un plateau de forme carrée dans la seconde position (figure 2).There is thus a round-shaped tray in the first position (Figure 1), convertible into a square-shaped tray in the second position (Figure 2).

La figure 3 décrit une lame métallique 8 située dans l'intervalle 6 entre le panneau central 1 et l'allonge 2 correspondante, disposée sous la plaque souple 8. La lame métallique 8 est fixée respectivement sur le panneau central 1 au niveau de l'arête autour de laquelle l'allonge 2 est montée pivotante, et sur l'allonge 2 correspondante, au niveau de l'arête droite 4 de celle-ci.FIG. 3 describes a metal blade 8 located in the gap 6 between the central panel 1 and the corresponding extension 2, disposed under the flexible plate 8. The metal plate 8 is fixed respectively to the central panel 1 at the level of the edge around which the elongate 2 is pivotally mounted, and on the corresponding extension 2, at the right edge 4 thereof.

Cette lame métallique 8 permet de renforcer la charnière formée par la plaque souple 7. Elle sert en outre d'appui à la plaque souple 7 lors du basculement de l'allonge 2 correspondante.This metal blade 8 reinforces the hinge formed by the flexible plate 7. It also serves to support the flexible plate 7 during the tilting of the corresponding length 2.

La forme du pli réalisé par la plaque souple 7, dans la zone de l'intervalle 6 correspondant est donc imposée par la courbure de la plaque métallique 8.The shape of the fold made by the flexible plate 7 in the area of the corresponding gap 6 is therefore imposed by the curvature of the metal plate 8.

Les figures 5 à 7 décrivent le second mode de réalisation du plateau.Figures 5 to 7 describe the second embodiment of the tray.

La figure 5 présente des moyens de renforcement constitués par plusieurs lattes 9 parallèles entre elles et parallèles à l'arête 3 du panneau central, le long de laquelle l'allonge 2 correspondante est montée basculante.FIG. 5 shows reinforcement means consisting of several slats 9 parallel to one another and parallel to the edge 3 of the central panel, along which the corresponding extension 2 is pivotally mounted.

Les lattes 9 sont fixées par collage sur la face inférieure de la plaque souple 7.The slats 9 are fixed by gluing on the lower face of the flexible plate 7.

Le plateau comporte en outre deux consoles 10, comme cela apparaît en figure 6. Chaque console est montée pivotante autour d'un axe 11 sur un coulisseau 12 déplaçable en translation sur un guide 13, le long d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe 11 et situé dans un plan parallèle à celui du panneau central 1.The plate further comprises two consoles 10, as shown in FIG. 6. Each console is pivotally mounted about an axis 11 on a slide 12 displaceable in translation on a guide 13, along an axis perpendicular to the axis 11 and located in a plane parallel to that of the central panel 1.

Le basculement des allonges est réalisé par des moyens d'actionnement (non représentés) permettant d'assurer la rotation de la console 10.The tilting of the extensions is carried out by actuating means (not shown) making it possible to rotate the console 10.

Chaque console 10 ainsi reliée d'une part au coulisseau 12, est fixée d'autre part à l'allonge 2 correspondante, au niveau de sa face inférieure. La plaque souple 7 n'étant quasiment pas extensible, la rotation des consoles 10 entraîne un déplacement en translation des coulisseaux 12 correspondants. Chaque console 10 est alors animée d'un mouvement composé d'une rotation autour de l'axe 11 et d'une translation dans la direction du guide 13.Each console 10 thus connected on the one hand to the slider 12, is fixed on the other hand to the corresponding extension 2, at its lower face. The flexible plate 7 is almost not extensible, the rotation of the consoles 10 causes a displacement in translation of the corresponding sliders 12. Each console 10 is then animated by a movement consisting of a rotation about the axis 11 and a translation in the direction of the guide 13.

En outre, chaque console 10 comporte un bord d'appui 14 permettant de guider la forme de la plaque souple lors du basculement de l'allonge.In addition, each console 10 has a support edge 14 for guiding the shape of the flexible plate when tilting the extension.

Le bord d'appui 14 est en contact direct avec les moyens de renforcement 8,9.The bearing edge 14 is in direct contact with the reinforcing means 8, 9.

Des ressorts de traction 15 sont également prévus, chacun étant relié par une extrémité à la console 10 correspondante, et par l'autre extrémité au coulisseau 12.Traction springs 15 are also provided, each being connected at one end to the corresponding bracket 10, and at the other end to the slider 12.

Pour des raisons de lisibilité des figures, les ressorts 15 ne sont représentés qu'en figure 6.For reasons of legibility of the figures, the springs 15 are only shown in FIG.

L'extrémité reliée à la console 10 se situe en un point décalé de l'axe 11, entre le centre de l'axe 11 et la surface inférieure de l'allonge 2. De préférence, le point de fixation de l'extrémité du ressort 15 sur la console 10 est situé à proximité de la surface inférieure de l'allonge 2.The end connected to the console 10 is located at a point offset from the axis 11, between the center of the axis 11 and the lower surface of the extension 2. Preferably, the point of attachment of the end of the spring 15 on the console 10 is located near the bottom surface of the extension 2.

Il s'ensuit qu'une fois l'allonge en position déployée, chaque ressort 15 exerce sur la console 10 correspondante, un moment permettant de maintenir l'allonge 2 dans cette position ou de la ramener en position lorsque celle-ci s'en trouve légèrement éloignée.It follows that once the elongation in the deployed position, each spring 15 exerts on the corresponding console 10, a moment to maintain the extension 2 in this position or bring it back into position when it is found slightly distant.

Les ressorts 15 assurent les mêmes fonctions en position rabattue de l'allonge.The springs 15 provide the same functions in the folded position of the elongate.

Ainsi, lors du basculement de l'allonge 2, chaque ressort 15 passe d'un premier état où il assure le maintien en position déployée de l'allonge 2 à un second état où il assure le maintien en position rabattue de l'allonge 2. Ce changement d'état s'effectue pour une inclinaison déterminée de l'allonge 2 par rapport au plan du panneau central 1, cette inclinaison étant notamment dépendante de la position des extrémités des ressorts 15.Thus, during the tilting of the extension 2, each spring 15 moves from a first state where it ensures the holding in the extended position of the extension 2 to a second state where it ensures the maintenance in the folded position of the extension 2 This change of state is effected for a given inclination of the elongation 2 with respect to the plane of the central panel 1, this inclination being particularly dependent on the position of the ends of the springs 15.

Les moyens d'actionnement des allonges (non représentés) participent également à leur maintien en position, en particulier en ce qui concerne le maintien en position déployée.The actuating means of the extensions (not shown) also participate in their holding in position, in particular as regards the holding in the deployed position.

En effet, dans cette position, un effort exercé au niveau des bords de l'allonge engendre un dimensionnement important des ressorts lorsque ceux-ci doivent assurer seuls le maintien de l'allonge.Indeed, in this position, a force exerted at the edges of the elongate generates a significant dimensioning of the springs when they must ensure only the maintenance of the elongation.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules formes d'exécution de ce système, décrites ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, mais elle embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.As goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the embodiments of this system, described above by way of example, but it encompasses all variants.
