Les plateaux support 2 sont réalisés en matière plastique, par exemple en polypropylène (PP). Ils consistent en une structure plane rigide ou semi-rigide, délimitée par une face de dessus 22 et par une face de dessous 23, et dont l'épaisseur peut être comprise entre 0,5 et 1 cm.The support plates 2 are made of plastic, for example polypropylene (PP). They consist of a rigid or semi-rigid planar structure, delimited by a top face 22 and by a bottom face 23, and the thickness of which can be between 0.5 and 1 cm.

La forme générale des plateaux 2 peut être quelconque : ovoïde, circulaire, triangulaire, carrée, rectangulaire et plus généralement polygonale.The general shape of the plates 2 can be any: ovoid, circular, triangular, square, rectangular and more generally polygonal.

En l'occurrence, dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, les plateaux support 2 ont une forme générale carrée ayant une dizaine de cm de côté.In this case, in the embodiment illustrated on the Figures 1 to 3 , the support plates 2 have a generally square shape having a side of about ten cm.

Les moyens d'ancrage 21 consistent ici en des orifices d'emboitement qui traversent toute l'épaisseur des plateaux support 2 pour déboucher dans les faces de dessus 22 et de dessous 23.The anchoring means 21 here consist of nesting orifices which pass through the entire thickness of the support plates 2 to open into the top 22 and bottom 23 faces.

Ces orifices d'emboitement 21 ont ici une section carrée ; mais en variante cette section pourrait avoir une autre forme.These interlocking orifices 21 have here a square section; but alternatively this section could have another form.

La section carrée présente l'intérêt de permettre une fixation des structures de liaison dans les quatre directions.The square section has the advantage of allowing attachment of the connecting structures in the four directions.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4 notamment, les orifices d'emboitement 21 comportent une structure d'épaulement interne 21a, ménagée entre les faces de dessus 22 et de dessous 23, orientée en direction de la face de dessus 22 du plateau support 2.As we can see on the figure 4 in particular, the socket orifices 21 comprise an internal shoulder structure 21a, formed between the top faces 22 and the bottom faces 23, oriented in the direction of the top face 22 of the support plate 2.

Ici cette structure d'épaulement interne 21a s'étend sur tout le pourtour des orifices d'emboitement 21 ; et elle est ménagée à proximité de la face de dessous 23 du plateau support 2. On obtient ainsi une première partie d'orifice 21, de section qui peut être qualifiée d'« étroite », qui s'étend depuis la face de dessous 23 du plateau 2 jusqu'à la structure d'épaulement 21a, et une seconde partie d'orifice 21, de section qui peut être qualifiée de « large », qui s'étend depuis la structure d'épaulement 21a jusqu'à la face de dessus 22 du plateau 2.Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, les orifices d'emboitement 21 sont au nombre de 25, répartis sur toute la surface du plateau support 2 selon une grille de 5 X 5, à pas constant ou sensiblement constant (ce pas peut être par exemple de l'ordre de 20 à 24 mm).Here this internal shoulder structure 21a extends over the entire periphery of the socket orifices 21; and it is arranged near the underside 23 of the support plate 2. This gives a first portion of orifice 21, of section which can be described as "narrow", which extends from the underside 23 from the plate 2 to the shoulder structure 21a, and a second part of the orifice 21, of section which can be described as "wide", which extends from the shoulder structure 21a to the face of above 22 of the plate 2. In the embodiment illustrated in the Figures 1 to 3 , the fitting holes 21 are 25 in number, distributed over the entire surface of the support plate 2 according to a grid of 5 × 5, with constant or substantially constant pitch (this pitch can for example be of the order of 20 to 24 mm).

Bien entendu le nombre d'orifices d'emboitement, leur répartition et le pas entre les orifices, peuvent varier.Of course, the number of fitting holes, their distribution and the pitch between the holes, can vary.

Les orifices d'emboitement 21 sont avantageusement répartis selon une grille d'au moins deux par au moins trois orifices, de préférence d'au moins trois par au moins quatre orifices. Encore de préférence, sur la grille de répartition, les orifices 21 sont distants d'un pas constant ou sensiblement constant.The interlocking orifices 21 are advantageously distributed according to a grid of at least two by at least three orifices, preferably at least three by at least four orifices. More preferably, on the distribution grid, the orifices 21 are spaced apart by a constant or substantially constant pitch.

Les structures de liaison 3 visibles sur les figures 1, 5 et 6 comprennent une bande de matière allongée 33 dont les deux extrémités 31 sont munies desdits moyens de fixation 32 qui se présentent sous la forme de moyens d'emboitement élastiques aptes à coopérer chacun avec l'un des orifices d'emboitement 21 des plateaux support 2.The connection structures 3 visible on the Figures 1, 5 and 6 comprise a strip of elongated material 33, the two ends 31 of which are provided with said fixing means 32 which are in the form of elastic interlocking means capable of cooperating each with one of the orifices socket 21 of the support plates 2.

Ces moyens d'emboitement élastiques 32 consistent ici en un pion 321 qui s'étend en saillie à partir d'une face de la bande de matière 33 et dont l'extrémité se prolonge par deux languettes élastiques 322, divergentes et orientées vers la base du pion 321 (et donc vers la bande de matière 33).These elastic interlocking means 32 here consist of a pin 321 which protrudes from one face of the strip of material 33 and the end of which is extended by two elastic tabs 322, divergent and oriented towards the base. from pin 321 (and therefore towards the strip of material 33).

Ils sont agencés pour pouvoir être insérés dans un orifice d'emboitement 21, par la face de dessous 23 du plateau support 2, de sorte que les languettes élastiques 322 se resserrent au passage de la première partie « étroite » d'orifice 21, et que ces languettes 322 se déploient lorsque leur extrémité libre passe le niveau de la structure d'épaulement 21a, pour obtenir leur verrouillage et la fixation recherchée.They are arranged so that they can be inserted into a socket hole 21, through the underside 23 of the support plate 2, so that the elastic tabs 322 tighten when the first "narrow" part of hole 21 passes, and that these tabs 322 deploy when their free end passes the level of the shoulder structure 21a, to obtain their locking and the desired fixing.

La figure 7 montre de manière détaillée un tel assemblage, avec les moyens de fixation 32 des structures de liaison 3 emboités élastiquement, ou « encliquetés », dans un orifice d'emboitement 21 d'un plateau support 2.The figure 7 shows in detail such an assembly, with the fixing means 32 of the connection structures 3 elastically fitted, or "snapped", in a fitting orifice 21 of a support plate 2.

Les plateaux support 2 et les structures de liaison 3 sont conçus de sorte qu'après l'assemblage les moyens de fixation 32 soient complètement intégrés dans les orifices d'emboitement 21 (et ne s'étendent pas en saillie de la face de dessus 22 des plateaux support 2).The support plates 2 and the connecting structures 3 are designed so that after assembly, the fixing means 32 are completely integrated into the socket holes 21 (and do not extend projecting from the top face 22 support plates 2).

Pour obtenir l'emboitement élastique recherché, l'extrémité libre des languettes élastiques 322 s'étend à une distance de la bande de matière 33 qui est légèrement supérieure à la distance qui sépare la face de dessous 23 des plateaux support 2 et la structure d'épaulement 21a.To obtain the desired elastic interlocking, the free end of the elastic tongues 322 extends at a distance from the strip of material 33 which is slightly greater than the distance which separates the underside 23 from the support plates 2 and the structure d shoulder 21a.

La bande de matière 33 et les moyens d'emboitement élastiques 32 sont avantageusement réalisés monoblocs par moulage d'une matière plastique, par exemple du polyacétal (POM) ou du polyamide (PA).The strip of material 33 and the elastic interlocking means 32 are advantageously made in one piece by molding a plastic material, for example polyacetal (POM) or polyamide (PA).

La bande de matière 33 est plane et peu épaisse pour lui conférer une structure souple ou semi-rigide. Ses dimensions peuvent être de l'ordre de 1 à 2 cm de largeur, 10 cm de longueur et 2 mm d'épaisseur.The strip of material 33 is flat and not very thick to give it a flexible or semi-rigid structure. Its dimensions can be of the order of 1 to 2 cm in width, 10 cm in length and 2 mm in thickness.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 5 et 6, la bande de matière 33 est cintrée, en forme générale d'arc de cercle, de Vé ou de U, avec une concavité orientée du côté des moyens d'emboitement élastiques 32, de sorte à permettre une variation de la distance entre les plateaux lorsqu'ils sont sollicités.As we can see on the Figures 5 and 6 , the strip of material 33 is curved, in the general shape of an arc of a circle, of V or of U, with a concavity oriented towards the side of the elastic interlocking means 32, so as to allow a variation of the distance between the plates when requested.

Pour simplifier la structure, les moyens d'ancrage 21 des plateaux support 2 sont tous identiques et les moyens de fixation 32 des structures de liaison 3 sont également tous identiques ; mais dans des variantes de réalisation cela peut ne pas être le cas.To simplify the structure, the anchoring means 21 of the support plates 2 are all identical and the fixing means 32 of the connecting structures 3 are also all identical; but in variant embodiments this may not be the case.

On obtient un plan de couchage ou d'assise 1 de structure très simple, facile et rapide à fabriquer ou à modifier.This gives a sleeping or sitting surface 1 with a very simple structure, easy and quick to manufacture or modify.

La pluralité d'orifices d'emboitement 21 répartis selon une grille sur la surface des plateaux support 2 offre de nombreuses possibilités d'ancrage des moyens de fixation 32, tant latéralement qu'en profondeur.The plurality of nesting orifices 21 distributed along a grid on the surface of the support plates 2 offers numerous possibilities for anchoring the fixing means 32, both laterally and in depth.

Un tel plan de couchage présente ainsi une grande modularité et la possibilité de faire varier facilement la distance entre les plateaux support 2. Cette grande modularité permet de créer des plans de couchage ou d'assise carrés ou rectangulaires, mais aussi de formes complexes, par exemple pour des applications dans un bateau ou un camping-car.Such a sleeping surface thus has great modularity and the possibility of easily varying the distance between the support plates 2. This great modularity makes it possible to create sleeping or square or rectangular seating plans, but also of complex shapes, by example for applications in a boat or motorhome.

Un tel plan de couchage peut être installé sur une embase comportant des moyens de suspension pour apporter un confort de couchage ou d'assise à l'utilisateur.Such a sleeping surface can be installed on a base comprising suspension means to provide sleeping or sitting comfort to the user.

Les structures de liaison 3, ou tout au moins certaines d'entre elles, peuvent intégrer de tels moyens de suspension, permettant ainsi de créer un plan de couchage suspendu pour soutenir un matelas ou un coussin.The connecting structures 3, or at least some of them, can integrate such suspension means, thus making it possible to create a suspended sleeping surface to support a mattress or a cushion.

Une forme de réalisation possible de telles structures de liaison 3a avec moyens de suspension est représentée sur les figures 8 et 9, permettant par exemple la réalisation d'un plan de couchage illustré sur les figures 10 à 14.A possible embodiment of such connecting structures 3a with suspension means is shown in the Figures 8 and 9 , allowing for example the realization of a sleeping plan illustrated on the figures 10 to 14 .

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 8 et 9, les structures de liaison 3a comprennent une embase d'appui 3a1 et des moyens de fixation 3a2, entre lesquels est interposée une structure de suspension 3a3.As we can see on the Figures 8 and 9 , the connecting structures 3a comprise a support base 3a1 and fixing means 3a2, between which is interposed a suspension structure 3a3.

Ces moyens de fixation 3a2, en forme de moyens d'emboitement élastiques, sont identiques aux moyens de fixation 32 des structures de liaison 3 décrites ci-dessus.These fixing means 3a2, in the form of elastic interlocking means, are identical to the fixing means 32 of the connecting structures 3 described above.

Les structures de liaison 3a sont réalisées d'un seul tenant en matériau plastique moulable, par exemple du polyacétal (POM) ou du polyamide (PA).The connecting structures 3a are made in one piece from moldable plastic material, for example polyacetal (POM) or polyamide (PA).

L'embase d'appui 3a1 est en forme de bande allongée de structure rigide, par exemple une bande de matière de faible épaisseur renforcée par une nervure de rigidification 3a11.The support base 3a1 is in the form of an elongated strip of rigid structure, for example a strip of thin material reinforced by a stiffening rib 3a11.

Chacune des deux extrémités de l'embase d'appui 3a1 se prolonge par un organe de suspension en forme de Vé 3a31. Ces deux organes de suspension en forme de Vé 3a31 constituent ensemble la structure de suspension 3a3. Ils s'étendent dans un même plan, avec leur pointe orientée l'une vers l'autre ; et leur extrémité libre comporte un plateau 3a32 à partir de chacun desquels s'étend un moyen de fixation 3a2.Each of the two ends of the support base 3a1 is extended by a V-shaped suspension member 3a31. These two V-shaped suspension members 3a31 together constitute the suspension structure 3a3. They stretch in the same plane, with their point oriented towards each other; and their free end comprises a plate 3a32 from each of which extends a fixing means 3a2.

Les deux plateaux 3a32 de chaque structure de liaison 3a sont orientés l'un vers l'autre à partir de l'extrémité des organes de suspension en forme de Vé 3a31, et ils s'étendent dans un même plan.The two plates 3a32 of each connecting structure 3a are oriented towards each other from the end of the V-shaped suspension members 3a31, and they extend in the same plane.

Les moyens d'emboitement élastiques 3a2 comprennent un pion 3a21 qui s'étend en saillie à partir de la face de dessus du plateau 3a32, et dont l'extrémité se prolonge par deux languettes élastiques 3a22, divergentes et orientées vers la base du pion 3a21 (et donc vers le plateau 3a32).The elastic interlocking means 3a2 comprise a pin 3a21 which extends projecting from the top face of the plate 3a32, and the end of which is extended by two elastic tongues 3a22, divergent and oriented towards the base of the pin 3a21 (and therefore towards plateau 3a32).

Ces moyens d'emboitement élastiques 3a2 sont agencés pour pouvoir être insérés dans un orifice d'emboitement 21 d'un plateau support 2, par la face de dessous 23 de ce dernier, de sorte que les languettes élastiques 3a22 se resserrent au passage de la première partie « étroite » d'orifice 21, et que ces languettes 3a22 se déploient lorsque leur extrémité libre passe le niveau de la structure d'épaulement 21a, pour obtenir leur verrouillage et la fixation recherchée.These elastic interlocking means 3a2 are arranged so that they can be inserted into an interlocking orifice 21 of a support plate 2, by the underside 23 of the latter, so that the elastic tongues 3a22 tighten when the first "narrow" part of orifice 21, and that these tongues 3a22 deploy when their free end passes the level of the shoulder structure 21a, to obtain their locking and the desired fixing.

Les structures de liaison 3a avec moyen de suspension sont montées sous les plateaux supports 2 d'une manière identique à celle décrite ci-dessus pour les structures de liaison 3 sans moyen de suspension. Elles peuvent être utilisées pour relier deux plateaux supports 2 (les moyens de suspension se situent alors sous les deux plateaux support juxtaposés reliés) ; elles peuvent aussi être fixées sous un plateau support unique pour constituer un simple moyen support avec suspension.The connection structures 3a with suspension means are mounted under the support plates 2 in a manner identical to that described above for the connection structures 3 without suspension means. They can be used to connect two support trays 2 (the suspension means are then located under the two juxtaposed support trays connected); they can also be fixed under a single support plate to constitute a simple support means with suspension.

Des structures de liaison 3 sans moyen de suspension peuvent être combinées avec des structures de liaison 3a avec moyen de suspension pour relier les plateaux supports 2 d'un même plan de couchage 1.Connection structures 3 without suspension means can be combined with connection structures 3a with suspension means for connecting the support plates 2 of the same sleeping surface 1.

Le plan de couchage 1 illustré sur les figures 10 à 12 est de forme générale rectangulaire comprenant un assemblage de 65 plateaux support 2 (composé de 13 rangées de plateaux support 2, constituées chacune de 5 plateaux support 2).The sleeping surface 1 illustrated on the figures 10 to 12 is generally rectangular, comprising an assembly of 65 support trays 2 (composed of 13 rows of support trays 2, each consisting of 5 support trays 2).

Dans chaque rangée les plateaux support sont reliés entre eux par des structures de liaison 3a avec moyen de suspension (comme illustré sur la figure 14). Une structure de liaison 3a avec moyen de suspension est placée sous chaque plateau support 2 d'extrémité et sert juste de soutien en fin de rangée (comme illustré sur les figures 13 et 14) ; de plus les rangées successives de plateaux support sont reliées entre elles par des structures de liaison 3 sans moyen de suspension (comme illustré sur la figure 13).In each row, the support plates are connected together by connecting structures 3a with suspension means (as illustrated in the figure 14 ). A connecting structure 3a with suspension means is placed under each end support plate 2 and just serves as support at the end of the row (as illustrated in the figures 13 and 14 ); moreover, the successive rows of support plates are connected together by connecting structures 3 without suspension means (as illustrated in the figure 13 ).

Le nombre et le positionnement des structures de liaison 3a avec moyen de suspension sont adaptés en fonction du confort de suspension souhaité et pour assurer la stabilité de chaque plateau support.The number and positioning of the connection structures 3a with suspension means are adapted as a function of the desired suspension comfort and to ensure the stability of each support plate.

Pour cela, chaque plateau support 2 est supporté au minimum par trois organes de suspension en Vé 3a31, de préférence par quatre organes de suspension en Vé 3a31.For this, each support plate 2 is supported at least by three V3 3a31 suspension members, preferably by four V3 3a31 suspension members.

Le caractère identique des moyens d'emboitement élastiques 32 et 3a2, permet l'utilisation combinée des structures de liaison 3 et 3a dans un même plan de couchage 1.The identical nature of the elastic interlocking means 32 and 3a2 allows the combined use of the connecting structures 3 and 3a in the same sleeping plane 1.

Plusieurs structures de liaison 3 et/ou 3a avec ou sans moyen de suspension peuvent être utilisées pour relier deux plateaux support 2 juxtaposés.Several connecting structures 3 and / or 3a with or without suspension means can be used to connect two support plates 2 juxtaposed.

D'autre part, le plan de couchage ou d'assise selon l'invention peut comprendre plusieurs types de plateaux support, différents par leur forme et/ou leurs dimensions.On the other hand, the sleeping or seating plan according to the invention can comprise several types of support trays, different by their shape and / or their dimensions.

Par exemple, on peut utiliser des plateaux supports 2 de forme générale carrée, tels qu'illustrés sur les figures 2 à 4, combinés avec des plateaux support 2a de forme générale rectangulaire, dont un exemplaire est illustré sur la figure 15, pour obtenir le plan de couchage 1 visible sur la figure 16.For example, one can use support plates 2 of generally square shape, as illustrated on the figures 2 to 4 , combined with support plates 2a of generally rectangular shape, a copy of which is illustrated on the figure 15 , to obtain the sleeping surface 1 visible on the figure 16 .

Le plateau support 2a a ici une longueur qui correspond à la longueur du côté du plateau support 2, et une largeur correspondant à une partie seulement (ici de l'ordre du 3/5e) de la longueur de ce côté de plateau support 2.The support plate 2a here has a length which corresponds to the length of the side of the support plate 2, and a width corresponding to only part (here of the order of 3 / 5th) of the length of this side of support plate 2.

Le plateau support 2a comporte ainsi 15 orifices d'emboitement 21 (5 rangées de 3 orifices), identiques aux orifices d'emboitement des plateaux support 2.The support plate 2a thus has 15 socket holes 21 (5 rows of 3 holes), identical to the socket holes of the support plates 2.

D'une manière générale, sur chaque plateau support 2, 2a, les moyens d'ancrage 21 sont en un nombre qui est supérieur au nombre de moyens de fixation 32, 3a2 desdites structures de liaison 3, 3a susceptibles de lui être associés.In general, on each support plate 2, 2a, the anchoring means 21 are in a number which is greater than the number of fixing means 32, 3a2 of said connecting structures 3, 3a capable of being associated with it.

Dans le plan de couchage 1 de la figure 16, le principe de montage par rangées successives est identique à celui du plan de couchage rectangulaire des figures 10 à 12, excepté le fait que les rangées ne sont pas toutes identiques.In the sleeping surface 1 of the figure 16 , the principle of mounting in successive rows is identical to that of the rectangular sleeping surface of figures 10 to 12 , except that the rows are not all the same.

Le nombre de plateaux support, leurs dimensions et la distance entre eux, sont variables. Cette configuration permet une grande facilité pour se conformer aux courbes d'un lit ou d'un siège de forme complexe.The number of support plates, their dimensions and the distance between them, are variable. This configuration allows great ease to conform to the curves of a bed or seat of complex shape.
