Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du mobilier du bureau et a plus particulièrement pour objet une table comprenant au moins deux de ces piètements de table ainsi qu'un procédé de déplacement d'une telle table.The present invention relates to the field of office furniture and more particularly to a table comprising at least two of these table legs and a method of moving such a table.

Il est connu de disposer de piètements de table comprenant un premier pied et un deuxième pied.It is known to have table legs including a first foot and a second foot.

Chacun de ces pieds présente une zone d'appui au sol assurant l'équilibre et la stabilité d'une table comprenant deux de ces piètements.Each of these feet has a ground support zone ensuring the balance and stability of a table comprising two of these legs.

Le déplacement d'une telle table nécessite soit de soulever la table, auquel cas deux personnes sont souvent nécessaires à cause de l'encombrement de la table et/ou de son poids, soit de pousser ou de trainer la table au sol.The movement of such a table requires either to lift the table, in which case two people are often necessary because of the size of the table and / or its weight, or to push or drag the table to the ground.

Un piètement de table permettant de déplacer une table aisément est connu du document CN 201564 005 U .A table base for moving a table easily is known from the document CN 201564 005 U .

Pour des utilisations nécessitant un déplacement fréquent des tables, par exemple pour la mise en place de salles de réunion, il apparait plus aisé de pouvoir déplacer seul une table en la poussant ou en la trainant au sol.For uses requiring frequent movement of tables, for example for the establishment of meeting rooms, it appears easier to move alone a table by pushing or dragging on the ground.

Cependant, le fait de pousser ou de trainer une table au sol engendre des frottements au niveau des zones d'appui initialement prévues pour adhérer au sol.However, pushing or dragging a table on the ground causes friction at the support zones initially intended to adhere to the ground.

Ces frottements peuvent entrainer une usure prématurée des zones d'appui des pieds et générer d'inconfortables crissements sonores.This friction can cause premature wear of the foot support areas and generate uncomfortable sounding sounds.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to solve all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une table comprenant au moins deux piètements de table selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a table comprising at least two table legs according to claim 1.

Cette disposition permet de réduire les frottements du piètement sur le sol lors du déplacement d'une table, et donc de faciliter le déplacement de celle-ci tout en préservant les zones d'appui du premier pied et du deuxième pied de l'usure.This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the friction of the base on the floor when moving a table, and thus to facilitate the movement thereof while preserving the bearing areas of the first foot and the second foot of the wear.

L'utilisation d'un élément de coopération permet également un déplacement de la table dans toutes les directions sans avoir à réaliser des manoeuvres comme cela pourrait être le cas avec des roues unidirectionnelles.The use of a cooperation element also allows a movement of the table in all directions without having to perform maneuvers as could be the case with unidirectional wheels.

Selon l'invention, l'élément de coopération est ménagé dans le piètement. L'élément de coopération comprend une bille apte à coopérer par contact avec le sol. En particulier, l'élément de coopération présente un logement ménagé dans le piétement, le logement étant apte à recevoir ladite bille.According to the invention, the cooperation element is formed in the base. The cooperation element comprises a ball capable of cooperating by contact with the ground. In particular, the cooperation element has a housing formed in the base, the housing being adapted to receive said ball.

Selon l'invention, la bille est disposée dans le logement de sorte à tourner sur elle-même, de préférence dans toutes les directions.According to the invention, the ball is disposed in the housing so as to rotate on itself, preferably in all directions.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la première zone d'appui et la deuxième zone d'appui comprennent un matériau plus adhérent que l'élément de coopération ou respectivement la troisième zone d'appui.According to one aspect of the invention, the first support zone and the second support zone comprise a more adherent material than the cooperation element or respectively the third support zone.

Cette disposition permet d'avoir une bonne stabilité de la table lorsqu'elle est placé dans sa première position d'équilibre.This arrangement makes it possible to have good stability of the table when it is placed in its first equilibrium position.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'élément de coopération comprend au moins une portion en téflon® ou respectivement la troisième zone d'appui est en téflon®.According to one aspect of the invention, the cooperation element comprises at least one Teflon® portion or the third bearing zone is Teflon®, respectively.

Ce matériau permet d'optimiser la coopération ou respectivement le glissement de la table sur le sol.This material optimizes the cooperation or the sliding of the table on the ground.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le deuxième pied comprend un logement agencé pour accueuillir une portion l'élément de coopération, ledit logement présentant un contour de forme complémentaire au contour de l'élément de coopération.According to one aspect of the invention, the second foot comprises a housing arranged to accueuillir a portion of the cooperation element, said housing having a shape contour complementary to the contour of the cooperation element.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le deuxième pied comprend un passage pour une vis de fixation, ledit passage étant agencé pour déboucher dans le logement.According to one aspect of the invention, the second foot comprises a passage for a fixing screw, said passage being arranged to open into the housing.

La présente invention a également pour objet un procédé de déplacement d'une table telle que décrite précédemment.The present invention also relates to a method of moving a table as described above.

  • The figure 6 is a general view of the table of the figure 4 in a second displacement position.
  • The figure 7 is a sectional view of the table base.

Comme illustré à la figure 1, un piètement de table 1 selon l'invention destiné à être monté sur une table 100 comprend un élément de structure 2 profilé présentant une forme générale en U renversé.As illustrated in figure 1 , a table base 1 according to the invention intended to be mounted on a table 100 comprises a profiled structural member 2 having a generally U-shaped overturned.

L'élément de structure 2 d'un piètement 1 comprend une première partie ou embase 2a, une deuxième partie ou montant 2b et une troisième partie ou support 2c.The structural element 2 of a base 1 comprises a first part or base 2a, a second part or amount 2b and a third part or support 2c.

L'embase 2a est reliée au montant 2b par une première portion coudée 3a et le montant 2b est relié au support 2c par une deuxième portion coudée 3b.The base 2a is connected to the upright 2b by a first bent portion 3a and the upright 2b is connected to the support 2c by a second bent portion 3b.

Le piètement de table comprend également un premier pied 10 et un deuxième pied 20 respectivement disposés à proximité de l'extrémité libre de l'embase 2a et sur la première portion coudée 3a de l'élément de structure 2.The table base also comprises a first leg 10 and a second leg 20 respectively disposed near the free end of the base 2a and on the first bent portion 3a of the structural element 2.

Le premier pied 10 présente une forme générale cylindrique.The first leg 10 has a generally cylindrical shape.

En outre, le premier pied 10 comprend une première zone d'appui 11 au sol S destinée à venir au contact du sol S lorsque la table 100 est dans une première position d'équilibre.In addition, the first foot 10 comprises a first bearing zone 11 on the ground S intended to come into contact with the ground S when the table 100 is in a first equilibrium position.

Le deuxième pied 20 présente quant à lui une forme générale de fonction gaussienne avec une base et un sommet centrés par rapport à la première portion coudée 3a.The second foot 20 has a general form of Gaussian function with a base and a vertex centered relative to the first bent portion 3a.

En outre, le deuxième pied 20 comprend une deuxième zone d'appui 21 au sol S destinée à venir au contact du sol S lorsque la table 100 est dans sa première position d'équilibre.In addition, the second leg 20 comprises a second bearing zone 21 on the ground S intended to come into contact with the ground S when the table 100 is in its first equilibrium position.

Comme illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le deuxième pied 20 comprend également un logement 22 ménagé au sommet du deuxième pied 20 et un passage 23 traversant axialement le deuxième pied 20 depuis sa base jusqu'à son sommet et débouchant dans le logement 21.As illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 , the second leg 20 also comprises a housing 22 formed at the top of the second leg 20 and a passage 23 axially passing through the second leg 20 from its base to its summit and opening into the housing 21.

Ce passage 23 est utilisé pour le passage d'une vis de fixation 24 servant à fixer le deuxième pied 20 sur la première portion coudée 3a.This passage 23 is used for the passage of a fixing screw 24 for fixing the second leg 20 on the first bent portion 3a.

Selon un aspect ne faisant pas partie de l'invention, le deuxième pied 20 comprend un patin glissant 30 présentant un contour de forme complémentaire à celui du logement 22.According to an aspect not forming part of the invention, the second leg 20 comprises a sliding pad 30 having a shape contour complementary to that of the housing 22.

Ce patin glissant 30 est inséré partiellement à l'intérieur du logement 22.This sliding pad 30 is inserted partially inside the housing 22.

Ce patin glissant 30 comprend par exemple une couche adhésive permettant de coller le patin glissant 30 à l'intérieur du logement 22.This sliding pad 30 comprises for example an adhesive layer for adhering the sliding pad 30 inside the housing 22.

La partie du patin glissant 30 en saillie du logement 22 comprend une troisième zone d'appui 31 au sol S destinée à venir au contact du sol S lorsque la table 100 est dans une deuxième position de déplacement.The portion of the sliding pad 30 projecting from the housing 22 comprises a third bearing area 31 on the ground S intended to come into contact with the ground S when the table 100 is in a second displacement position.

De manière alternative et selon l'invention, le deuxième pied 20 comprend un élément de coopération 300 avec le sol S agencé pour coopérer avec le sol S tout en étant mobile par rapport au sol S dans la deuxième position de déplacement.Alternatively and according to the invention, the second leg 20 comprises a cooperation element 300 with the ground S arranged to cooperate with the soil S while being movable relative to the ground S in the second position of displacement.

L'élément de coopération 300, selon la figure 7, présente un logement 301 ménagé dans le piètement 1 et une bille 302. Le logement 301 est apte à recevoir la bille 302 et à permettre la rotation de la bille 302 sur elle-même lorsque la bille 302 est disposée dans le logement 301. Ainsi la bille 302 est apte à coopérer avec le sol S et à tourner sur elle-même dans toutes les directions dans la deuxième position de déplacement.The cooperation element 300, according to the figure 7 , has a housing 301 formed in the base 1 and a ball 302. The housing 301 is adapted to receive the ball 302 and to allow the rotation of the ball 302 on itself when the ball 302 is disposed in the housing 301. Thus the ball 302 is able to cooperate with the ground S and to turn on itself in all directions in the second displacement position.

Comme illustré à la figure 4, une table 100 selon l'invention peut comprendre deux piètements 1.As illustrated in figure 4 a table 100 according to the invention may comprise two legs 1.

En outre, une table 100 comprend un plateau 5 disposé sur les supports 2c des éléments structurels 2 des deux piètements 1.In addition, a table 100 comprises a plate 5 disposed on the supports 2c of the structural elements 2 of the two legs 1.

La table 100 comprend également un renfort 6 supplémentaire joignant les deux montants 2b des deux piètements 1 à proximité des deuxièmes portions coudées 3b des éléments structurels 2 des deux piètements 1.The table 100 also comprises an additional reinforcement 6 joining the two uprights 2b of the two legs 1 near the second bent portions 3b of the structural elements 2 of the two legs 1.

Ainsi, chaque piètement de table 1 de la table 100 est mobile entre :

  • une première position d'équilibre P1 de la table 100 dans laquelle la première zone d'appui 11 et la deuxième zone d'appui 21 sont au contact avec le sol S et la troisième zone d'appui 31 est en retrait du sol S, et
  • une deuxième position de déplacement P2 de la table 100 dans laquelle la première zone d'appui 11 et la deuxième zone d'appui 21 sont en retrait du sol S et la troisième zone d'appui 31 est en contact avec le sol S.
Thus, each table leg 1 of the table 100 is movable between:
  • a first equilibrium position P1 of the table 100 in which the first bearing zone 11 and the second bearing zone 21 are in contact with the ground S and the third bearing zone 31 is set back from the ground S, and
  • a second displacement position P2 of the table 100 in which the first bearing zone 11 and the second bearing zone 21 are set back from the ground S and the third bearing zone 31 is in contact with the ground S.

La troisième zone d'appui 31 du patin glissant 30 est réalisé en téflon®, ce qui la rend beaucoup moins adhérente que la première zone d'appui 11 du premier pied 10 et que la deuxième zone d'appui 21 du deuxième pied 20 réalisées en un matériau plus adhérent.The third bearing zone 31 of the sliding pad 30 is made of teflon®, which makes it much less adherent than the first bearing zone 11 of the first leg 10 and the second bearing zone 21 of the second leg 20 made in a more adherent material.

Par ailleurs, la complémentarité de forme entre le contour du patin glissant 30 et le contour du logement 22 permet au patin glissant 30 de résister davantage aux chocs latéraux pouvant être provoqués par une irrégularité du sol S.Furthermore, the complementary shape between the contour of the sliding shoe 30 and the contour of the housing 22 allows the sliding shoe 30 to resist more lateral shocks can be caused by an irregularity of the ground S.

L'agencement du patin glissant 30 dans le logement 22 permet également de remplacer facilement le patin glissant 30, par exemple en cas de décollement de celui-ci suite à un choc ou bien pour avoir accès à la vis de serrage 24 pour démonter le deuxième pied 20.The arrangement of the sliding shoe 30 in the housing 22 also makes it possible to easily replace the sliding pad 30, for example in case of detachment thereof after an impact or to have access to the clamping screw 24 to disassemble the second foot 20.

La première portion d'appui 11 et la deuxième portion d'appui 21 s'étendent dans un plan général PL1.The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 21 extend in a general plane PL1.

La troisième zone d'appui 31 est quant à elle plane et s'étend dans un deuxième plan PL2.The third bearing zone 31 is flat and extends in a second plane PL2.

Le premier plan PL1 et le deuxième plan PL2 forment un angle compris entre 10° et 15°The first plane PL1 and the second plane PL2 form an angle of between 10 ° and 15 °

Ainsi, un utilisateur voulant déplacer une table 100 selon l'invention comprenant deux piètements de table 1 également selon l'invention et dans laquelle le premier pied 10 et le deuxième pied 20 des deux piètements 1 se trouvent initialement posé au sol S correspondant à la première position d'équilibre P1 de la table 100, commencera au cours d'une première étape par faire pivoter la table 100 autour d'un axe coupant les deux deuxième pieds 20 des deux piètements 1 jusqu'à ce que les patins glissants 30 de chaque piètement 1 soient au contact du sol S.Thus, a user wishing to move a table 100 according to the invention comprising two table legs 1 also according to the invention and wherein the first leg 10 and the second leg 20 of the two legs 1 are initially placed on the ground S corresponding to the first equilibrium position P1 of the table 100, will begin in a first step by rotating the table 100 about an axis intersecting the two second legs 20 of the two legs 1 until the sliding pads 30 of each leg 1 are in contact with the ground S.

Au cours d'une deuxième étape, l'utilisateur fait pivoter la table 100 autour d'un axe coupant les patins glissants 30.In a second step, the user rotates the table 100 about an axis intersecting the sliding pads 30.

Le pivotement total de table réalisé au cours de la première étape et de la deuxième étpe est réalisé avec un angle compris entre 10° et 15° correspondant à l'angle formé entre le premier plan PL1 et le deuxième plan PL2.The total table pivoting achieved during the first step and the second step is performed with an angle between 10 ° and 15 ° corresponding to the angle formed between the first plane PL1 and the second plane PL2.

La valeur de cet angle permet à l'utilisateur de déplacer la table autour d'une position d'équilibre limitant les efforts de soutien de la table 100.The value of this angle allows the user to move the table around an equilibrium position limiting the support forces of the table 100.

Les efforts de poussée ou de traction sont ainsi favorisés au détriment des efforts de soutien.Pushing or pulling forces are thus favored at the expense of support efforts.

Suite à cette deuxième étape, la table 100 se trouve dans sa deuxième position de déplacement.Following this second step, the table 100 is in its second moving position.

Au cours d'une troisème étape, l'utilisateur déplace la table 100 par glissement sur le sol S des deux patins glissants 30.During a third step, the user moves the table 100 by sliding on the ground S of the two sliding shoes 30.

La faible adhérence des patins glissants 30 permet de réaliser cette étape avec des efforts limités de la part de l'utilisateur.The low adhesion of the sliding pads 30 allows this step to be carried out with limited effort on the part of the user.

De plus, les patins glissants 30 permettent à l'utilisateur de déplacer la table selon une quelconque direction suivant le sol S. Le même effet est obtenu en remplaçant chaque patin glissant 30 par un élément de coopération 300. L'utilisateur peut déplacer la table sur le sol S dans toutes les directions.In addition, the sliding pads 30 allow the user to move the table in any direction along the ground S. The same effect is obtained by replacing each sliding pad 30 with a cooperating member 300. The user can move the table on the floor S in all directions.

Pour ramener la table 100 vers sa première position d'équilibre P1, l'utilisateur réalise ces mêmes étapes en sens inverse.To bring the table 100 back to its first equilibrium position P1, the user performs these same steps in the opposite direction.

C'est ainsi qu'au cours d'une quatrième étape, l'utilisateur fait pivoter la table 100 autour d'un axe coupant les deux patins glissants 30 puis au cours d'une cinquième étape fait pivoter la table 100 autour d'un axe coupant les deux deuxième pieds 20 des deux piètements 1 jusqu'à ce que le premier pied 10 et le deuxième pied 20 des deux piètements soient au contact du sol S correspondant à la première position d'équilibre P1 de la table 100.Thus, during a fourth step, the user rotates the table 100 about an axis intersecting the two sliding shoes 30 and in a fifth step rotates the table 100 around a axis intersecting the two second legs 20 of the two legs 1 until the first foot 10 and the second foot 20 of the two legs are in contact with the ground S corresponding to the first equilibrium position P1 of the table 100.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un exemple particulier de réalisation, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is obvious that it is not limited thereto and that it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations.

C'est ainsi, qu'une table 100 peut comprendre trois piètements 1 ou plus selon l'invention.Thus, a table 100 may include three legs 1 or more according to the invention.

Ces trois piètements peuvent être disposés sensiblement parallèlement les uns aux autre et selon un même alignement.These three legs can be arranged substantially parallel to each other and in the same alignment.

Dans ce cas, les patins glissants 30 de chaque piètement 1 sont au contact du sol S lorsque la table 100 est amenée dans sa deuxième position de déplacement P2.In this case, the sliding pads 30 of each leg 1 are in contact with the ground S when the table 100 is brought into its second displacement position P2.
