Description

L'invention concerne un système modulaire de support et de paroi pour d'étroites plaques en verre, qui présente les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The invention relates to a modular support and wall system for narrow glass plates, which has the features of the preamble of claim 1.

On connaît fondamentalement la réalisation de parois et de cloisons de séparation par recours à des plaques ou vitres en verre plat de grande surface. On connaît par exemple des paliers d'escaliers et des balcons qui sont remplis de plaques de verre. On prépare également des parois de protection contre le bruit en y utilisant en partie des vitres, ce qui diminue fortement l'obstacle à la vue par rapport à d'autres matériaux de paroi tout en assurant une forte isolation acoustique (voir http://www.innsbruck.at/io30/download/Dokumente/Content /Medienservice/Pressearchiv/Jahr%202003/NOVEMBER2003/L% C3%84RMSCHUTZSIEGLANGER.PDF?disposition=inline, état de mai 2 0 0 6) .Fundamentally, the production of partition walls and partitions is known by the use of large flat glass plates or panes. For example, there are known staircases and balconies that are filled with glass plates. Noise protection walls are also prepared by partially using windows, which greatly reduces the obstacle to vision compared to other wall materials while ensuring a high acoustic insulation (see http: // www.innsbruck.at/io30/download/Dokumente/Content / Medienservice / Pressearchiv / Jahr% 202003 / NOVEMBER2003 / L% C3% 84RMSCHUTZSIEGLANGER.PDF? arrangement = inline, state of May 2 0 0 6).

Dans ces applications, on tient compte de la fragilité relative des plaques de verre en utilisant des plaques composites (deux ou plusieurs plaques de verre séparées par une couche ou un film adhésif intermédiaire) ou des vitres précontraintes (thermiquement ou chimiquement) qui ont une capacité de réception des charges mécaniques plus élevée qu'un verre normal de même épaisseur.In these applications, the relative fragility of the glass plates is taken into account by using composite plates (two or more glass plates separated by a layer or an intermediate adhesive film) or prestressed windows (thermally or chemically) which have a capacity reception of mechanical loads higher than normal glass of the same thickness.

On connaît en outre l'assemblage de parois en bois à partir de planches étroites, plusieurs planches étant souvent assemblées les unes à côté des autres à l'aide de supports longitudinaux (éventuellement profilés) ou de profilés de support qui s'étendent le long de leurs bords, pour obtenir des panneaux. Le document DE 201 20 109 U1 en donne un exemple. Une partie d'un élément de plaque formée entre des supports d'encadrement est garnie de madriers qui peuvent être reliés aux parties horizontales du cadre ou également les uns avec les autres par des raccords à ressort et languette.Also known is the assembly of wooden walls from narrow boards, several boards are often assembled next to each other using longitudinal supports (possibly profiled) or support profiles that extend along from their edges, to obtain panels. The document DE 201 20 109 U1 give an example. Part of a plate member formed between frame supports is provided with planks which can be connected to the horizontal parts of the frame or also to each other by spring and tongue fittings.

En revanche, pour le verre, on utilise de plus en plus des éléments intégrés de grande surface.On the other hand, for glass, more and more integrated elements of large surface area are used.

Lors du traitement des grandes plaques qui proviennent des installations de verre flotté (avec en général les dimensions de 6,0 m par 3,21 m) en produits de verre tels que des fenêtres de véhicules automobiles ou de bâtiments, on produit de très grandes quantités de verre de découpe de format relativement petit et en particulier de format allongé et étroit. On peut fondamentalement en renvoyer une grande partie dans la fusion du verre pour réduire les coûts en énergie. Dans la pratique, les entreprises de traitement qui ne possèdent pas leur propre installation de fusion du verre ou de verre flotté rencontrent le problème du transport de retour, de l'entreposage intermédiaire et finalement de la mise en décharge.When processing large plates from float glass installations (typically 6.0 m by 3.21 m) made of glass products such as motor vehicle windows or buildings, very large quantities of cutting glass of relatively small size and in particular of elongated and narrow format. It can fundamentally be returned a large part in the melting of glass to reduce energy costs. In practice, processors who do not have their own glass or float glass melting facility encounter the problem of return transportation, intermediate storage and eventually landfill.

Une utilisation possible de plaques en verre longues et étroites sont les éléments de rigidification, appelés diagonales en verre, la plupart du temps en verre feuilleté, qui permettent de rigidifier des structures de recouvrement de façade de grande surface exclusivement en verre. Le document DE 10 2004 003 960 B4 décrit une liaison spéciale pour deux parties d'étroites diagonales en verre, constituées de plaques en verre feuilleté, et qui doivent être placées l'une contre l'autre.A possible use of long, narrow glass plates are the stiffening elements, called glass diagonals, mostly made of laminated glass, which make it possible to stiffen large-area façade cladding structures exclusively of glass. The document DE 10 2004 003 960 B4 discloses a special connection for two narrow glass diagonal portions of laminated glass plates to be placed against each other.

Sous le nom commercial "Profilit", on connaît en outre des structures de paroi constituées de plaques ou d'éléments en verre étroits et autoportants d'épaisseur relativement grande et à section transversale en forme de U, qui sont placés les uns à côté des autres ou qui peuvent être combinés en parois de grande surface en étant emboîtés en doubles coquilles. La surface de ces éléments de plaques peut être structurée en relief ou être laiteuse, et éventuellement décorée par des motifs imprimés.Under the trade name "Profilit", wall structures consisting of narrow and self-supporting glass elements of relatively large thickness and U-shaped cross section, which are placed next to one another or which can be combined into large-area walls by being nested in double shells. The surface of these plate elements can be structured in relief or be milky, and possibly decorated with printed patterns.

Par ailleurs, WO 01/55522 A décrit un ensemble formant cloison, dans lequel des rails verticaux délimitent entre eux des parties de surface et ces parties de surface sont garnies de plusieurs plaques de verre de forme allongée. Dans ce dispositif, les courts bords frontaux des plaques de verre sont solidarisés avec les rails verticaux par l'intermédiaire d'organes d'ancrage fixés par encliquetage sur les rails verticaux.Otherwise, WO 01/55522 A discloses a partition assembly, wherein vertical rails delimit between them surface portions and these surface portions are lined with a plurality of elongated glass plates. In this device, the short front edges of the glass plates are secured to the vertical rails by means of anchoring members fixed by snapping on the vertical rails.

Le problème à la base de l'invention est de proposer une utilisation d'étroits morceaux de verre et en particulier de chutes de découpe de verre, qui peuvent ainsi être reliés les uns aux autres avec une mise en oeuvre réduite de fabrication et être utilisés économiquement et de nombreuses manières.The problem underlying the invention is to propose the use of narrow pieces of glass and in particular glass cutting scrapes, which can thus be connected to one another with a reduced manufacturing process and be used economically and in many ways.

L'invention résout ce problème avec les caractéristiques de la revendication 1. Les caractéristiques des revendications secondaires donnent des développements avantageux de cette invention.The invention solves this problem with the features of claim 1. The features of the secondary claims provide advantageous developments of this invention.

Comme les minces plaques de verre en verre flotté lisse et plan sont utilisées dans un système modulaire de support et de paroi comme éléments de remplissage pour des parties de la surface, on quitte d'abord l'idée habituelle des vitres constituant des éléments d'un seul tenant de grande surface. En même temps, on obtient une utilisation commerciale excellente pour les étroites chutes de verre qui sont produites dans toutes les entreprises de traitement du verre et qui sont normalement éliminées ou renvoyées à la fusion.Since thin, smooth, flat float glass plates are used in a modular support and wall system as fillers for parts of the surface, the usual idea of the glass elements of a single large area. At the same time, excellent commercial use is achieved for the narrow glass falls that are produced in all glass processing companies that are normally eliminated or returned to the merger.

On comprend que ces plaques en verre peuvent également être dotées de décorations quelconques; en particulier, on peut valoriser aussi de la manière proposée par l'invention des chutes de verre structuré en surface produit par coulée ou laminage. Si l'on veut obtenir sur la surface des décorations ou des motifs imprimés, il est recommandé de les appliquer dans une opération continue par sérigraphie, impression par jet d'encre ou des procédés rapides comparables. La sélection des couleurs et des formes n'est limitée que par leur disponibilité et la production industrielle.It is understood that these glass plates can also be provided with any decorations; in particular, it is also possible to valorize, in the manner proposed by the invention, structurally structured glass scrap produced by casting or rolling. If you want to get on the surface of the decorations or printed patterns, it is recommended to apply them in a continuous operation by screen printing, inkjet printing or comparable fast processes. The selection of colors and shapes is limited only by their availability and industrial production.

Comme les plaques en verre sont fabriquées de préférence en verre de sécurité non feuilleté, le décor appliqué peut être cuit lors du chauffage de la plaque en verre avant la précontrainte thermique et ce sans étape de traitement supplémentaire. L'utilisation préférée de verre de sécurité non feuilleté et monolithique n'exclut cependant pas le traitement de chutes de découpe de verre feuilleté dans le cadre de la présente invention.As the glass plates are preferably made of non-laminated safety glass, the applied decoration can be fired during the heating of the glass plate before thermal preloading without any additional processing step. The preferred use of non-laminated and monolithic safety glass does not, however, exclude the processing of laminated glass cuttings in the context of the present invention.

Il est également évident que les chants des plaques en verre, qui sont réalisés en général par moletage et fracture, doivent être au moins fracturés avant leur utilisation dans le cadre de l'invention. En ce qui concerne les utilisations à l'extérieur (clôtures entre terrains, protections contre le bruit, parois de séparation, abris), un traitement particulièrement poussé des chants n'est pas nécessaire.It is also obvious that the edges of the glass plates, which are generally made by knurling and fracture, must be at least fractured before use in the context of the invention. With regard to outdoor uses (fencing between land, noise protection, partition walls, shelters), particularly thorough treatment of the songs is not necessary.

Pour faciliter la modularité du système, les plaques en verre ont de préférence toutes les mêmes dimensions ou pour dimensions des multiples entiers d'une dimension minimale (en longueur et en largeur). Cela simplifie la fabrication et l'entreposage ainsi que les commandes ultérieures. Des fabrications et des applications individuelles de ces plaques en verre feuilleté ou non ne sont ainsi évidemment pas exclues du cadre de l'invention. On peut de même former un élément stylistique attractif en utilisant dans le cadre de l'invention des plaques en verre cintrées dans le sens de leur longueur et/ou dans le sens transversal et qui sont soit des "chutes" de découpe de vitrage déjà cintré ou qui sont sont cintrées spécialement. Il faut également penser que l'on pourrait monter à l'état cintré sous précontrainte élastique (dans le sens longitudinal) des plaques en verre relativement minces dans le système.To facilitate the modularity of the system, the glass plates preferably all have the same dimensions or dimensions of integer multiples of a minimum dimension (in length and width). This simplifies manufacturing and warehousing as well as subsequent orders. Manufacturing and individual applications of these plates laminated glass or not are, of course, not excluded from the scope of the invention. It is likewise possible to form an attractive stylistic element using, in the context of the invention, bent glass plates in the direction of their length and / or in the transverse direction and which are either "falls" of glazing cutting already. bent or who are bent specially. It should also be thought that the relatively thin glass plates in the system could be bent under elastic prestressing (longitudinally).

Pour l'agencement des plaques en verre entre les profilés verticaux, il existe fondamentalement deux orientations, à savoir "bords frontaux sur les profilés verticaux" et "bords frontaux sur les profilés de support qui s'étendent entre les profilés verticaux". Dans le premier cas, on utilisera de préférence de longues plaques de verre (L > 2 m) pour ne pas compromettre la transparence intrinsèque du système par un écartement relativement étroit entre les profilés verticaux. Lorsque l'on utilise des plaques en verre plus courtes, on les fera s'étendre de préférence parallèlement aux profilés verticaux et on y fixera leurs courts bords frontaux à l'aide de profilés de support appropriés. Au moins le bord supérieur de chaque plaque en verre sera saisi au moyen d'un profilé de support, tandis que le bord inférieur sera disposé directement dans le sol, éventuellement dans une semelle de fondation, ou repris dans un profilé de support proche du sol.For the arrangement of the glass plates between the vertical sections, there are basically two orientations, namely "front edges on the vertical profiles" and "front edges on the support profiles that extend between the vertical sections". In the first case, long glass plates (L> 2 m) are preferably used so as not to compromise the intrinsic transparency of the system by a relatively narrow spacing between the vertical sections. When shorter glass plates are used, they will preferably extend parallel to the vertical sections and their short front edges will be fixed with appropriate support profiles. At least the upper edge of each glass plate will be gripped by means of a support profile, while the lower edge will be placed directly in the ground, possibly in a footing, or taken up in a support profile close to the ground. .

Il est évident que des profilés de support peuvent cependant aussi reprendre les plaques en verre à distance des courts côtés frontaux, les plaques en verre traversant les profilés de support.It is obvious that support profiles can however also take the glass plates away from the short front sides, the glass plates passing through the support profiles.

Les courts bords frontaux des plaques en verre seront de préférence insérés dans des sabots de réception qui eux-mêmes peuvent être fixés sur les profilés verticaux et/ou les profilés de support. Une option simple de liaison des profilés verticaux et des profilés de support aux sabots de réception consiste à doter les profilés de rainures dans lesquelles les sabots de réception peuvent être insérés par coulissement. Ces rainures peuvent avoir une section transversale quelconque et peuvent être réalisées avec une contre-dépouille, de telle sorte que les sabots de réception puissent coulisser uniquement dans le sens de la longueur des rainures mais ne puissent en être retirés transversalement.The short front edges of the glass plates will preferably be inserted in receiving shoes which themselves can be fixed to the vertical profiles and / or the support profiles. A simple option for connecting the vertical profiles and support profiles to the receiving shoes is to provide the profiles with grooves in which the shoes of reception can be inserted by sliding. These grooves may have any cross section and may be made with an undercut, so that the receiving shoes can slide only in the direction of the length of the grooves but can not be removed transversely.

Il est évident que les plaques en verre peuvent également s'étendre obliquement par rapport aux profilés verticaux et/ou aux profilés de support dans le système de support et de parois selon l'invention. On prévoira dans ce but des pièces intermédiaires ou des sabots de réception qui conviennent.It is obvious that the glass plates can also extend obliquely with respect to the vertical profiles and / or support profiles in the support and wall system according to the invention. For this purpose, suitable intermediate pieces or receiving shoes will be provided.

Il est particulièrement avantageux que les dimensions des éléments de liaison entre les sabots de réception et des profilés verticaux et/ou de support soient toujours pareilles, parce que cela permet d'utiliser librement les sabots de support dans un système modulaire. Ceci est encore optimisé si les zones de liaison entre les profilés verticaux et les profilés de support correspondent à cette dimension unique.It is particularly advantageous that the dimensions of the connecting elements between the receiving shoes and vertical and / or support profiles are always the same, because this makes it possible to freely use the support shoes in a modular system. This is further optimized if the connection areas between the vertical profiles and the support profiles correspond to this single dimension.

En général, toutes les plaques en verre s'étendent parallèlement les unes aux autres dans un système, mais elles peuvent avoir le même angle de pose ou différents angles de pose. Elles peuvent également recouvrir concrètement une surface lisse de la paroi, à l'exception des joints; elles peuvent former une paroi à surface en zigzag ou ondulée d'une manière ou d'une autre et peuvent également être toutes posées obliquement, par exemple en écailles, avec ou sans superposition mutuelle.In general, all the glass plates extend parallel to each other in a system, but they can have the same angle of application or different angles of application. They can also concretely cover a smooth surface of the wall, with the exception of joints; they can form a wall with a zigzag or corrugated surface in one way or another and can all be laid obliquely, for example in flakes, with or without mutual superposition.

L'orientation de l'extension longitudinale des plaques en verre peut rester identique d'une surface à l'autre dans le système selon l'invention, ou encore varier.The orientation of the longitudinal extension of the glass plates may remain identical from one surface to another in the system according to the invention, or may vary.

Toutes les parties de surface ne doivent pas davantage avoir la même extension.Not all surface parts should have the same extension.

Il est évident que les profilés verticaux et les profilés de support peuvent être reliés les uns aux autres de manière sûre par des moyens de fixation appropriés (par exemple des vis ou des adhésifs) et que les sabots de réception des plaques en verre peuvent être fixés de manière appropriée dans les rainures de réception lorsqu'elles se suivent de manière tellement serrée qu'elles n'aient plus aucune possibilité de déplacement.It is obvious that the vertical profiles and the support profiles can be securely connected to each other by suitable fixing means (for example screws or adhesives) and that the receiving plates of the glass plates can be fixed. suitably in the receiving grooves when they follow each other so tightly that they no longer have any possibility of movement.

Les profilés verticaux et de support sont de préférence réalisés en métal (par exemple en aluminium), mais ils peuvent également être réalisés en bois (résistant aux intempéries). Les sabots de réception sont de préférence réalisés en matière synthétique mais peuvent également être réalisés en bois ou en métal. Au moins dans le dernier cas, on dotera leurs rainures de réception d'une garniture de matière synthétique pour éviter un contact direct entre le verre et le métal.The vertical and support profiles are preferably made of metal (for example aluminum), but they can also be made of wood (weatherproof). The receiving shoes are preferably made of synthetic material but can also be made of wood or metal. At least in the latter case, their receiving grooves will be provided with a synthetic material lining to prevent direct contact between the glass and the metal.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'objet de l'invention ressortent du dessin d'un exemple de réalisation et de sa description donnée ci-dessous.Other details and advantages of the subject of the invention appear from the drawing of an exemplary embodiment and its description given below.

  • The figure 1 is a part of a system 1 support and wall placed on a floor 2 and consisting essentially of vertical sections 3 which surround surface portions 4. There are shown two surface portions 4 filled differently.

Dans la partie de surface 4 située à gauche, de longues plaques en verre 5 s'étendent longitudinalement entre les deux profilés verticaux 3. Leurs courts bords frontaux sont repris dans les profilés verticaux 3, de telle sorte que les plaques en verre 5 soient placées à la verticale (direction dans laquelle ils présentent leur plus grande résistance en flexion dans la direction de la force de gravité).In the surface portion 4 on the left, long glass plates 5 extend longitudinally between the two vertical sections 3. Their short front edges are taken up in the vertical sections 3, so that the glass plates 5 are placed vertically (in which direction they exhibit their greatest flexural strength in the direction of the force of gravity).

Dans la partie de surface 4 située à droite, deux profilés de support 6 s'étendent entre les deux profilés verticaux 3, à savoir un profilé de support situé près du sol et l'autre du côté de l'extrémité supérieure des profilés verticaux 3. Entre les profilés de support 6, de courtes plaques en verre 5 sont disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres, de telle sorte que leurs courts bords frontaux sont repris dans les profilés de support 6. Il faut faire remarquer que dans le cadre de la présente invention, le profilé inférieur de support n'est pas absolument nécessaire si les plaques en verre 5 peuvent être fixées d'une autre manière au sol, par exemple dans une semelle de fondation ou dans des supports individuels fixés au sol.In the surface portion 4 located on the right, two support profiles 6 extend between the two vertical profiles 3, namely a support profile located near the ground and the other side of the upper end of the vertical sections 3. Between the support profiles 6, short glass plates 5 are arranged parallel to each other, so that their short front edges are It should be noted that in the context of the present invention, the lower support profile is not absolutely necessary if the glass plates 5 can be fixed in another way to the ground, for example. example in a foundation footing or in individual supports fixed to the ground.

On peut voir que toutes les plaques en verre 5 ont une largeur nettement moins large que leur longueur, leur largeur pouvant être comprise entre 5 et 20 cm et leur longueur dans la partie gauche de plus de 2 mètres et dans la partie droite d'environ 80 cm. Leur épaisseur peut être comprise entre 4 et 20 mm ou même davantage, selon l'épaisseur du matériau de départ (verre flotté ou verre coulé/laminé, ainsi que verre feuilleté). Dans une partie de surface, toutes les plaques en verre ont les mêmes dimensions. Il est évident que l'on peut également insérer à l'intérieur d'une partie de surface des plaques en verre 5 qui présentent différentes largeurs. L'épaisseur des plaques en verre 5 peut également varier dans une partie de surface.It can be seen that all the glass plates 5 have a width substantially less than their length, their width being between 5 and 20 cm and their length in the left part of more than 2 meters and in the right part about 80 cm. Their thickness can be between 4 and 20 mm or even more, depending on the thickness of the starting material (float glass or cast / rolled glass, as well as laminated glass). In a surface part, all the glass plates have the same dimensions. It is obvious that glass plates 5 having different widths can also be inserted inside a surface part. The thickness of the glass plates 5 may also vary in a surface portion.

On voit également que les plaques en verre 5 sont dotées de différentes décorations. Ainsi qu'on l'a déjà mentionné plus haut, les plaques en verre 5 peuvent être constituées de verre à surface lisse ou structurée en relief, en verre coloré, teinté, transparent ou laiteux. Leur surface peut en outre être dotée d'une décoration et même d'un revêtement réfléchissant. Elles sont de préférence réalisées en verre précontraint thermiquement, la décoration qui y est appliquée étant de préférence cuite par chauffage avant la précontrainte. La nature de la décoration et du matériau de verre est cependant assez secondaire dans le cadre de la présente invention.It can also be seen that the glass plates 5 are provided with different decorations. As already mentioned above, the glass plates 5 may consist of smooth surface or structured glass in relief, colored glass, tinted, transparent or milky. Their surface can also be decorated and even reflective. They are preferably made of thermally prestressed glass, the decoration which is applied thereto being preferably heated by heating before prestressing. The nature of the decoration and the glass material is, however, rather secondary in the context of the present invention.

La figure 2 représente un mode de réalisation d'une surface qui représente un mélange des parties de surface représentées dans la figure 1. A droite et à gauche du centre de la surface 4 représentée ici, deux courts profilés de support 6' (verticaux) sont placés parallèlement aux autres plaques en verre 5 entre les deux longs profilés de support 6 (horizontaux). Entre les deux courts profilés de support 6' qui forment entre eux une partie de surface 4' s'étendent deux courtes plaques en verre 5 agencées à l'horizontale. Elles ont de préférence la même longueur (modulaire) que les plaques en verre 5 situées à droite et à gauche des profilés de support 6'. On pourrait également réaliser cette partie centrale avec des plaques en verre d'une autre longueur, par exemple d'une longueur double de celle des plaques en verre 5 utilisées à l'extérieur de la partie 4' de surface.The figure 2 represents an embodiment of a surface that represents a mixture of the surface portions represented in the figure 1 . To the right and left of the center of the surface 4 shown here, two short support profiles 6 '(vertical) are placed parallel to the other glass plates 5 between the two long support profiles 6 (horizontal). Between the two short support profiles 6 'which form between them a surface portion 4' extend two short glass plates 5 arranged horizontally. They preferably have the same length (modular) as the glass plates 5 located on the right and left of the support profiles 6 '. This central part could also be made with glass plates of another length, for example of a length twice that of the glass plates used outside the surface portion 4 '.

Si les parties de surface et leur garniture ont une longueur et/ou un poids plus grand, il peut être avantageux de doter un profilé de support 6 proche du sol d'appui intermédiaire sur le sol 2, ainsi qu'on l'a indiqué dans la figure 2 au milieu du profilé inférieur de support 6.If the surface parts and their lining have a longer length and / or a greater weight, it may be advantageous to provide a support profile 6 close to the intermediate support floor on the floor 2, as indicated. in the figure 2 in the middle of the lower support profile 6.

Dans tous les modes de réalisation, et à la différence de la représentation schématique, on peut réaliser des variantes stylistiques avec fondamentalement une petite mise en oeuvre supplémentaire, par exemple en laissant des interstices plus grands entre les plaques en verre individuelles et en plaçant les plaques en verre obliquement par rapport à l'horizontale et/ou à la verticale. Ces modes de réalisation permettent par ailleurs d'obtenir un système modulaire dont les parties individuelles sont aussi peu différentes que possible.In all embodiments, and unlike the schematic representation, stylistic variants can be made with basically a small additional implementation, for example leaving larger gaps between the individual glass plates and placing the plates. in glass obliquely to the horizontal and / or vertical. These embodiments also make it possible to obtain a modular system whose individual parts are as little different as possible.

La figure 3 représente une coupe à travers deux profilés verticaux 3 disposées l'un à côté de l'autre, avec une longue plaque en verre 5 disposée directement entre eux (voir la partie gauche 4 de la figure 1). Les profilés verticaux 3 ont une section transversale H, c'est-à-dire que leur surface tournée vers les plaques en verre présentent chacune une rainure de réception 3N qui s'étend en longueur. Les courts bords frontaux des plaques en verre 5 y sont repris au moyen de sabots de réception 7 qui eux-mêmes ont des fentes de réception 7N. Les courts bords frontaux des plaques en verre 5 peuvent y être insérés. Les sabots de réception 7 sont de préférence réalisés en matière synthétique de haute qualité et peuvent être fabriqués avec des dimensions extérieures et des dimensions de la fente de réception 7N selon une haute précision (par injection). La largeur de la fente de réception 7N doit présenter une petite diminution par rapport à l'épaisseur de la plaque en verre à reprendre, pour que le sabot de réception 7 soit fixé provisoirement (par frottement) après que le court bord frontal de la plaque en verre 5 aits été inséré. Les courts bords frontaux ou toute la partie frontale de chaque plaque en verre sont en outre repris en correspondance géométrique dans la fente de réception concernée.The figure 3 represents a section through two vertical sections 3 arranged one beside the other, with a long glass plate 5 arranged directly between them (see the left part 4 of the figure 1 ). The vertical sections 3 have a cross section H, that is to say that their surface facing the glass plates each have a receiving groove 3N which extends in length. The short front edges of the glass plates 5 are taken up by means of receiving shoes 7 which themselves have receiving slots 7N. The short front edges of the glass plates 5 can be inserted therein. The receiving shoes 7 are preferably made of high quality synthetic material and can be manufactured with external dimensions and dimensions of the receiving slot 7N in a high precision (injection). The width of the receiving slot 7N must have a small decrease with respect to the thickness of the glass plate to be resumed, so that the receiving shoe 7 is fixed temporarily (by friction) after the short front edge of the plate Glass 5 has been inserted. The short front edges or the entire front part of each glass plate are additionally geometrically matched in the respective receiving slot.

La figure 4 représente schématiquement une variante de la figure 3, puisqu'on y voit une coupe à travers les deux profilés de support 6 de la partie de surface 4 de la figure 1, avec une vue du chant de la plaque en verre 5 qui s'étend (obliquement) entre ces profilés de support. Le petit décalage latéral réellement présent dans la zone de la coupe réalisée au milieu de la plaque en verre y a été négligé dans un souci de simplicité. Ces profilés de support 6 présentent pour leur part des rainures longitudinales 6N dans lesquelles des sabots de réception 7 peuvent être adaptés. Cela confirme la structure modulaire du système selon l'invention. Les sabots de réception 7 peuvent en effet être fondamentalement identiques aux sabots de réception 7 de la figure 2 et les extrémités des profilés de support 6 peuvent être insérées dans les rainures de réception 3N des profilés verticaux 3. Cela implique évidemment que dans la zone des rainures de réception 6N, la section transversale desdites extrémités des profilés de support 6 soit légèrement rétrécie par rapport à leur section transversale globale (voir à ce propos la figure 5).The figure 4 schematically represents a variant of the figure 3 , since it shows a section through the two support profiles 6 of the surface portion 4 of the figure 1 , with a view of the edge of the glass plate 5 extending (obliquely) between these support profiles. The small lateral shift actually present in the area of the cut made in the middle of the glass plate has been neglected for the sake of simplicity. These support profiles 6 present for their part of the longitudinal grooves 6N in which reception shoes 7 can be adapted. This confirms the modular structure of the system according to the invention. The reception shoes 7 can indeed be basically identical to the reception shoes 7 of the figure 2 and the ends of the support profiles 6 can be inserted into the receiving grooves 3N of the vertical sections 3. This obviously implies that in the area of the receiving grooves 6N, the cross section of said ends of the support profiles 6 is slightly narrowed relative to to their overall cross section (see in this connection the figure 5 ).

Une différence essentielle par rapport à la figure 3 est que la plaque en verre 5 de la figure 4 est montée obliquement dans le sens de sa longueur. Il faut alors évidemment utiliser un autre mode de réalisation des sabots de réception 7. Par rapport aux sabots de réception de la figure 2, ceux-ci diffèrent essentiellement par le fait que leur rainure de réception n'est pas disposée au centre, si l'on part de l'hypothèse que les deux profilés de support 6 sont situés l'un au-dessus de l'autre exactement à la verticale lorsqu'ils sont montés. Les deux sabots de réception situés dans le haut et dans le bas de la figure 3 sont cependant identiques l'un à l'autre et sont placés symétriquement l'un par rapport à l'autre dans les profilés verticaux 3 respectifs.An essential difference from the figure 3 is that the glass plate 5 of the figure 4 is mounted obliquely in the direction of its length. It is then obviously necessary to use another embodiment of the reception shoes 7. Compared to the reception shoes of the figure 2 , these differ essentially in the fact that their receiving groove is not arranged in the center, if we assume that the two support profiles 6 are located one above the other exactly vertically when mounted. The two reception shoes located at the top and the bottom of the figure 3 are however identical to each other and are placed symmetrically relative to each other in the respective vertical sections 3.

Entre chacune des rainures de réception et les composants qui y sont insérés (sabots de réception, profilés de support), on obtient une fixation en correspondance géométrique qui ne permet un déplacement que dans le sens de la longueur des rainures.Between each of the receiving grooves and the components which are inserted therein (receiving shoes, support profiles), a geometrically matching fastening is achieved which only permits longitudinal movement of the grooves.

La figure 5 représente un mode de réalisation particulièrement préféré des composants modulaires, et en particulier des zones de liaison, dont les dimensions sont hautement harmonisées. Le profilé vertical 3 représenté de nouveau en coupe transversale possède deux rainures de réception 3N de largeur B. On retrouve celles-ci dans la pièce de tête 6Z du profilé de support 6 qui est insérée dans la rainure droite de réception 3N du profilé de support 3, ainsi que dans la largeur de la rainure de réception 6N du même profilé de support qui est indiqué en traits interrompus sur la figure. On peut voir que la pièce de tête 6Z est rétrécie par rapport à la coupe transversale du profilé de support 6.The figure 5 represents a particularly preferred embodiment of the modular components, and in particular connecting areas, the dimensions of which are highly harmonized. The vertical profile 3 shown again in cross section has two receiving grooves 3N of width B. These are found in the head piece 6Z of the support profile 6 which is inserted in the right receiving groove 3N of the support profile 3, as well as in the width of the receiving groove 6N of the same support profile which is indicated by broken lines in the figure. It can be seen that the head piece 6Z is narrowed with respect to the cross section of the support profile 6.

Par conséquent, les courts profilés de support 6' de la figure 2 auront de préférence aussi un profil essentiellement identique, à l'exception des pièces de tête qui peuvent être insérées pratiquement sans jeu dans les rainures de réception 6N des longs profilés de support 6.Therefore, the short support profiles 6 'of the figure 2 will preferably also have a substantially identical profile, with the exception of the head pieces which can be inserted virtually without play in the receiving grooves 6N of the long support profiles 6.

Comme les rainures de réception des courts profilés de support 6' de la figure 2, de même que des longs profilés de support 6, ont de préférence les mêmes dimensions que les rainures de réception 3N des profilés verticaux, il est également possible de prévoir dans une partie de surface "mixte", par exemple celle représentée dans la figure 2, un seul court profilé de support 6' entre deux longs profilés de support 6, en insérant sur l'un de ses côtés des (longues) plaques en verre 5 horizontales et sur son autre côté des (courtes) plaques en verre verticales 5.As the receiving grooves of the short support profiles 6 'of the figure 2 , as well as long support profiles 6, preferably have the same dimensions as the receiving grooves 3N of the vertical profiles, it is also possible to provide in a "mixed" surface part, for example that represented in FIG. figure 2 a single short support profile 6 'between two long support profiles 6, by inserting (long) horizontal glass plates on one side and vertical (short) glass plates 5 on its other side.

En général, les longs et les courts profilés de support 6 ne doivent avoir qu'une seule rainure de réception 6N, tandis que les profilés de support 3 seront dotés en général de rainures de réception 3N sur chacun de leur côté. On peut évidemment utiliser des profilés verticaux d'extrémité qui ne présentent qu'une seule rainure de réception 3N.In general, the long and short support profiles 6 must have only one receiving groove 6N, while the support profiles 3 will generally have 3N receiving grooves on each of their side. It is obviously possible to use vertical end profiles which present only one 3N receiving groove.

Pour encore simplifier, les profilés verticaux 3 et les profilés de support 6 peuvent cependant aussi être réalisés en le même profilé de base à section transversale en H. Les pièces de tête 6Z des profilés de support ainsi que les garnitures nécessaires pour fixer les profilés verticaux 3 au sol peuvent être installés ultérieurement après découpe des morceaux à bonne longueur.For simplification, however, the vertical sections 3 and the support profiles 6 can also be made of the same basic profile with a cross-section in H. The head pieces 6Z of the support profiles as well as the necessary fittings for fixing the vertical profiles 3 on the ground can be installed later after cutting pieces to good length.

Dans la figure 5, on a également représenté schématiquement un recouvrement 3C qui permet de recouvrir les rainures de réception ouvertes dans le haut du profilé vertical 3 après y avoir placé tous les sabots de réception, profilés de support, pièces intermédiaires, etc.In the figure 5 3C is also shown diagrammatically, covering the open receiving grooves in the top of the vertical profile 3 after having placed all the receiving shoes, support profiles, intermediate pieces, etc., thereon.

Dans les figures 6a et 6b, la largeur des fentes de réception 7N (qui reprennent les extrémités des plaques en verre) des sabots de réception 7 a une valeur B mesurée transversalement au sens de la longueur des rainures de réception 7N, qui correspond à la largeur des rainures de réception 3N et 6N. Ainsi qu'on l'a indiqué et qu'on peut le voir dans les figures 1 et 2, les plaques en verre sont montées debout ou légèrement inclinées par rapport à la verticale autour de leur axe longitudinal. Alors que le sabot de réception 7 de la figure 6a est prévu pour permettre un montage vertical ou debout, l'agencement oblique de la fente de réception 7N du sabot de réception 7 de la figure 6b permet le montage oblique de la plaque en verre qui y est reprise. Avec ce mode de réalisation, on peut garnir des parties de surface de plaques en verre 5 qui présentent des angles de pose différents, ainsi qu'on l'a déjà indiqué plus haut. Pour des plaques en verre 5 montées à la verticale, l'angle de pose de la fente de réception 7N peut également être tourné de 90° par rapport à la "position normale", parce que dans cette position de montage, il n'y a plus de sollicitations de flexion dans la direction de la force de la gravité.In the Figures 6a and 6b , the width of the reception slots 7N (which take up the ends of the glass plates) of the reception shoes 7 has a value B measured transversely in the direction of the length of the reception grooves 7N, which corresponds to the width of the reception grooves 3N and 6N. As has been indicated and can be seen in the Figures 1 and 2 , the glass plates are mounted upright or slightly inclined relative to the vertical about their longitudinal axis. While the reception shoe 7 of the figure 6a is provided to allow vertical or standing mounting, the oblique arrangement of the receiving slot 7N of the receiving shoe 7 of the figure 6b allows the oblique mounting of the glass plate which is taken again. With this embodiment, surface portions of glass plates which have different laying angles can be provided, as already indicated above. For vertically mounted glass plates, the laying angle of the receiving slot 7N can also be rotated 90 ° by compared to the "normal position", because in this mounting position, there is no more bending stresses in the direction of the force of gravity.

La figure 6c représente une variante d'un sabot de réception 7 dont la fente de réception 7N est disposée hors du centre, et la figure 6d montre que dans un sabot de réception 7, on peut ménager aussi plus d'une fente de réception 7N. On peut ainsi dans une partie de surface disposer des plaques en verre double ou feuilleté pour ainsi obtenir des effets visuels supplémentaires et une résistance aux charges mécaniques éventuellement encore meilleure.The Figure 6c represents a variant of a reception shoe 7 whose reception slot 7N is disposed out of the center, and the figure 6d shows that in a receiving shoe 7, it can also spare more than a reception slot 7N. It is thus possible in a part of the surface to have plates made of double or laminated glass so as to obtain additional visual effects and possibly even better mechanical resistance to mechanical loads.

En général, une modification de la surface et de l'angle de pose des plaques de verre permet d'obtenir également des effets visuels intéressants, non seulement lorsqu'on les observe directement mais aussi en lumière réfléchie (sous différents angles).In general, a modification of the surface and the angle of application of the glass plates also makes it possible to obtain interesting visual effects, not only when observed directly but also in reflected light (at different angles).

Les composants qui doivent être placés les uns dans les autres (sabots de réception 7 ou pièces de tête 6Z, d'une part, et rainures de réception 3N, 6N, d'autre part) peuvent être dimensionnés avec le plus petit jeu mutuel possible (adaptation par coulissement) pour permettre de les enchâsser sans forcer.The components that must be placed in each other (receiving shoes 7 or head pieces 6Z, on the one hand, and receiving grooves 3N, 6N, on the other hand) can be dimensioned with the smallest mutual play possible (adaptation by sliding) to allow to enshrine them without forcing.

A la différence de la représentation simplifiée donnée dans les dessins schématiques annexés, les rainures de réception 3N et 6N peuvent naturellement aussi avoir une section transversale non rectangulaire, par exemple en contre-dépouille, par exemple une section transversale en queue d'aronde. En y adaptant la section transversale des sabots de réception 7 ou des pièces de tête 6Z des profilés de support, on peut ainsi obtenir une fixation en correspondance géométrique, tout en pouvant les faire coulisser aisément le long des rainures de réception 3N ou 6N.Unlike the simplified representation given in the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, the receiving grooves 3N and 6N may naturally also have a non-rectangular cross section, for example undercut, for example a dovetail cross section. By adapting the cross-section of the receiving shoes 7 or the head pieces 6Z support profiles, one can obtain a geometrically matching attachment, while being able to slide easily along the receiving grooves 3N or 6N.

Cela permet également de fixer les sabots de réception pour les empêcher de tomber hors de la rainure associée.This also allows the receiving shoes to be fixed to prevent them from falling out of the associated groove.

Il serait cependant tout aussi possible de prévoir des rainures de réception à section transversale ouverte triangulaire ou en biseau, parce que cela permet également d'empêcher que les sabots de réception sortent ou tombent latéralement hors des rainures dès qu'une plaque en verre est montée entre deux de ces sabots.However, it would also be possible to provide triangular or beveled open cross-section receiving grooves, because this also prevents the receiving shoes from coming out or falling laterally out of the grooves as soon as a glass plate is mounted. between two of these hooves.

La figure 7a représente encore la garniture de la rainure de réception 3N d'un profilé vertical par des sabots de réception 7 à fente de réception 7N oblique. Les sabots de réception ont ici la forme d'un parallélogramme, les fentes de réception 7N s'étendant le long de la grande diagonale du parallélogramme. Les sabots de réception 7 sont placés les uns contre les autres sans jeu. Dans la projection perpendiculaire aux plaques en verre 5 insérées dans les fentes de réception 7N, les bords longitudinaux de ces plaques se superposent en lamelles ou en écailles.The figure 7a still represents the filling of the receiving groove 3N of a vertical profile by receiving shoes 7 with an oblique receiving slot 7N. The receiving shoes here have the shape of a parallelogram, the receiving slots 7N extending along the large diagonal of the parallelogram. The receiving shoes 7 are placed against each other without play. In the projection perpendicular to the glass plates 5 inserted in the receiving slots 7N, the longitudinal edges of these plates are superimposed lamellae or scales.

En revanche, la figure 7b représente la garniture de la rainure de réception 6N d'un profilé de support 6 par des sabots rectangulaires de réception 7 dont la fente de réception 7N est agencée grâce à la configuration modulaire du système, de telle sorte que la ligne qui les relie ait une forme ondulée sans que les plaques de verre qui y sont placées se superposent dans la projection perpendiculaire à la surface qu'elles forment.On the other hand, figure 7b represents the lining of the receiving groove 6N of a support profile 6 by rectangular receiving shoes 7 whose receiving slot 7N is arranged thanks to the modular configuration of the system, so that the line connecting them has a wavy form without the glass plates that are placed superimposed in the projection perpendicular to the surface they form.

Donnons maintenant quelques indications sur le montage du système modulaire de support et de paroi décrit plus haut, en partant de l'hypothèse que l'élément de paroi (cloison de séparation, clôture, protection contre le bruit, etc.) qu'il permet de construire soit posé essentiellement à la verticale sur le sol.Let us now give some indications on the mounting of the modular system of support and wall described above, on the assumption that the wall element (partition wall, fence, protection against noise, etc.) that it allows to build is laid mostly vertically on the ground.

En général, les profilés verticaux 3 sont les premiers composants et sont fixés dans ou sur le sol 2. Leurs rainures de réception 3N doivent être ouvertes dans le haut. Ils peuvent ultérieurement être recouverts après la garniture de la surface, à l'aide de recouvrements appropriés (par exemple ceux indiqués dans la figure 5), qui sont fixés de manière appropriée sur le côté supérieur des profilés verticaux 3.In general, the vertical sections 3 are the first components and are fixed in or on the ground 2. Their receiving grooves 3N must be open at the top. They may subsequently be covered after filling the surface with appropriate coverings (eg those indicated in figure 5 ), which are suitably attached to the upper side of the vertical profiles 3.

Pour toutes les configurations de surface des figures 1 et 2, les plaques de verre 5 peuvent être équipées des deux côtés et préalablement des sabots de réception 7 adaptés (à module unique) du système modulaire.For all surface configurations of Figures 1 and 2 , the glass plates 5 can be equipped on both sides and previously 7 adapted receiving shoes (single module) of the modular system.

Pour le mode de réalisation représenté dans la partie gauche 4 de la figure 1, la distance mesurée entre le fond des rainures de réception 3N des profilés verticaux 3 doit être accordée soigneusement à la longueur totale des plaques en verre 5 à placer avec les sabots de réception 7. Pour le mode de réalisation représenté dans la partie droite 4 de la figure 1, l'écart mesuré entre les rainures de réception 3N des profilés verticaux doit être accordé à la longueur totale des profilés de support 6, y compris leurs pièces de tête 6Z.For the embodiment shown in the left part 4 of the figure 1 the distance measured between the bottom of the receiving grooves 3N of the vertical sections 3 must be carefully tuned to the total length of the glass plates 5 to be placed with the receiving shoes 7. For the embodiment shown in the right part 4 of FIG. the figure 1 the distance measured between the receiving grooves 3N of the vertical sections must be given to the total length of the support profiles 6, including their head pieces 6Z.

On peut alors, pour la partie gauche représentée dans la figure 1, insérer les plaques de verre 5 équipées de leurs sabots de réception 7 par le haut dans les rainures de réception 3N des deux profilés verticaux 3. Des écarts variables ou des parties sans plaques peuvent être obtenus en insérant des pièces intermédiaires ou des écarteurs appropriés ou simplement des sabots de réception vides en nombre approprié. Si les deux rainures de réception tournées l'une vers l'autre sont complètement remplies, éventuellement en utilisant des pièces d'adaptation supérieures, on peut installer le recouvrement supérieur déjà mentionné sur le profilé vertical 3.We can then, for the left part represented in the figure 1 insert the glass plates 5 equipped with their receiving shoes 7 from the top into the receiving grooves 3N of the two vertical sections 3. Variable gaps or parts without plates can be obtained by inserting appropriate intermediate parts or spacers or simply empty reception shoes in appropriate numbers. If the two receiving grooves turned one towards the other are completely filled, possibly by using higher adaptation parts, one can install the upper covering already mentioned on the vertical profile 3.

Pour garnir une surface de la façon représentée dans la partie 4 de droite de la figure 1, on insère d'abord le profilé inférieur de support 6 avec sa rainure de réception 6N tournée vers le haut entre les deux profilés verticaux 3 (pièces de tête 6Z dans les rainures de réception 3N) et on le fixe à la hauteur souhaitée (par exemple par des pièces d'écartement, des sabots de réception vides, des appuis intermédiaires ou similaires).To garnish a surface as shown in part 4 of the right of the figure 1 the lower support profile 6 is first inserted with its receiving groove 6N facing upwards between the two vertical sections 3 (head pieces 6Z in the receiving grooves 3N) and fixed at the desired height (by for example by spacers, empty reception shoes, intermediate supports or the like).

Si l'on n'utilise pas de profilé inférieur de support, on place les plaques de verre 5 à l'aide de fixations provisoires appropriées sur le sol 2 entre les deux profilés verticaux 3. Dans ce cas, seules ses extrémités supérieures seront dotées de sabots de réception 7.If a lower support profile is not used, the glass plates 5 are placed by means of suitable provisional fasteners on the floor 2 between the two vertical sections 3. In this case, only its upper ends will be equipped with receiving shoes 7.

Lorsqu'une partie de surface a été complètement garnie par des plaques en verre, on place le profilé supérieur de support 6 avec sa rainure de réception 6N tournée vers le bas, de manière à insérer tous les sabots de réception 7 dans sa rainure de réception 6N. La partie 4' de surface de la figure 2 est également garnie de la même manière.When a surface portion has been completely filled with glass plates, the upper support profile 6 is placed with its receiving groove 6N facing downwards so as to insert all the reception shoes 7 into its receiving groove. 6N. The surface part 4 'of the figure 2 is also garnished in the same way.

Pour réaliser une partie de surface qui correspond à la figure 2, les deux courts profilés de support 6' seront placés entre les plaques verticales de verre 5 et parallèlement à ces dernières, et on place ensuite les plaques de verre horizontales de la même manière que l'on a monté la partie gauche de la figure 1. Ici également, on place ensuite le profilé supérieur de support, on le fixe et on dote les profilés verticaux des recouvrements supérieurs.To achieve a part of surface that corresponds to the figure 2 the two short support profiles 6 'will be placed between the vertical glass plates 5 and parallel to the latter, and then the horizontal glass plates are placed in the same manner as the left side of the glass plate has been mounted. figure 1 . Here too, the upper support profile is then placed, fixed and the vertical profiles are provided. higher recoveries.

Pour terminer, faisons remarquer que même si l'utilisation décrite ici de sabots de support forme le mode de réalisation préféré, parce que de haute qualité, modulaire et de forme sélective, du système de support et de paroi, on pourrait également relier les plaques de verre directement aux profilés verticaux et aux profilés de support pré-équipés de manière appropriée et concrètement dotés de fentes de réception.Finally, note that even if the use described here of support shoes forms the preferred embodiment, because of high quality, modular and selectively shaped support system and wall, one could also connect the plates directly to the vertical profiles and support profiles pre-equipped appropriately and concretely with receiving slots.
