Abstract

The device comprises dice 11 with threaded bores 12 in the middle of its faces. Studs 13 are fixed thereon which are screwed and wedged with a lock nut 20. Tubes are then inserted over the studs in order to assemble them. Thus all types of junction can be made with nonspecific elements, which simplifies the stocking and organisation of the site.

Description

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs d'as- semblage de tubes, et notamment d'éléments pour constituer des installations de mobilier ou de rangement, en particulier des agencements de boutiques ou-magasins. The present invention relates to assembly devices for tubes, and in particular elements for constituting furniture or storage facilities, in particular arrangements of shops or stores.

On connait des dispositifs comportant des tubes et des jonctions, chaque jonction comportant une pluralité d'ergots réunis à un sommet, les tubes étant emmanchables su les ergots. Chaque jonction comporte autant d'ergots que de tubes à assembler : deux ergots dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre pour assembler deux tubes alignés, trois ergots coplanaires ou en trièdre pour trois tubes, etc, jusqu'à six ergots orientés vers les six faces d'un cube à partir du centre. Cela fait un jeu de huit jonctions pour chaque type de section différente de tube. Ce dispositif pose un problème d'approvisionnement sur le chantier. L'invention a pour objet un dispositif d'assemblage simple et efficace, d'approvisionnement commode. Devices are known comprising tubes and junctions, each junction comprising a plurality of lugs joined to a vertex, the tubes being emmanchables su pins. Each junction comprises as many lugs as tubes to assemble: two lugs in the extension of one another to assemble two aligned tubes, three lugs coplanar or trihedron for three tubes, etc., up to six lugs oriented towards the six faces of a cube from the center. This makes a set of eight junctions for each type of different tube section. This device poses a problem of supply on the site. The invention relates to a simple and effective assembly device, convenient supply.

Conformément à la présente invention, le dispositif d'assemblage d'éléments pour constituer des installations de mobilier, comprenant des tubes et des jonctions a ergots em- manchables dans les extrémités des tubes, est remarquable notamment en ce que chaque jonction comporte un dé dans lequel sont formés au moins trois alésages filetés et des ergots munis chacun d'un boulon fileté saillant d > une extrémité, pour coopérer avec un desdits alésages filetés, chaque boulon portant en outre un écrou de blocage. According to the present invention, the device for assembling elements for constituting furniture installations, comprising tubes and junctions with hook-and-socket locks in the ends of the tubes, is particularly remarkable in that each junction comprises a die in which are formed at least three threaded bores and lugs each provided with a threaded bolt projecting from one end, to cooperate with one of said threaded bores, each bolt further carrying a locking nut.

D'autres caractéristiques de 1'invention apparaI- tront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée a titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des dessins ci-joints, et qui fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Other features of the invention will become apparent from the following description given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, and which will make it clear how the invention can be realized.

Sur les dessins,
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique des différentes possibilités de jonctions envisagées par la présente invention
la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une jonction selon l'invention, comportant un dé et un ergot
la figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'un tube utilisable dans un dispositif selon l'invention ; et,
la figure 4- est une vue en perspective d'un profilé de complément d'un dispositif selon la figure 3.
On the drawings,
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the different junction possibilities envisaged by the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a junction according to the invention, comprising a dice and a lug
Figure 3 is a sectional view of a tube used in a device according to the invention; and,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a complementary section of a device according to FIG.

La figure 1 représente les différentes formes possibles de jonctions pour assembler de deux à six tubes à angle droit. Les jonctions sont composées de deux à six ergots sur lesquels on emmanche autant de tubes de section appropriée. Cela nécessite souvent un grand nombre de jonctions différentes pour faire-face aux besoins d'une installation. Figure 1 shows the different possible forms of junctions to assemble from two to six tubes at right angles. The junctions are composed of two to six lugs on which we put as many tubes of appropriate section. This often requires a large number of different junctions to meet the needs of an installation.

Le travail de préparation et d'exécution en est compliqué.The work of preparation and execution is complicated.

Conformément à la présente invention, on utilise une jonction à applications multiples, telle que représentée sur la figure 2. Un dé il ou une noix de forme quelconque convenable comporte des alésages filetés 12 sur ses six faces. In accordance with the present invention, a multi-application junction is used, as shown in FIG. 2. A suitable shape die or nut has threaded bores 12 on its six faces.

On peut y fixer autant d'ergots 13 que désiré, jusqu' six.It can fix as many lugs 13 as desired, up to six.

Chaque ergot comporte par exemple un corps 15, qui peut etre en matière plastique moulée, un mulon 16, enrobé dans le corps 15, les extrémités du boulon raisant saillie à 'aitérieur du corps. Une extrémité 17 du boulon est filetée, au m me pas que l'alésage 12. L'autre extrémité 18 est agencée pour permettre d' agir sur le boulon et peut comporter par exemple une fente pour recevoir un tornevis. Elle peut ou non faire saillie de l'estrémité. Un écrou 20 est engagé sur la partie filetée 17.Pour fixer un ergot 13 sur le dé 11, on visse d'abord le boulon 17 dans l'alésage 12 puis, après engagement d'une certaine longueur, on bloque l'ergot sur le dé à l'aide de l'écrou. On peut ainsi fixer autant d'ergots que l'on désire, pour réaliser la jonction que lton choisira, parmi celles qui sont schématisées sur la figure 1.Each lug comprises for example a body 15, which may be of molded plastic material, a muloon 16, embedded in the body 15, the ends of the bolt raisant protruding from the body. One end 17 of the bolt is threaded, at the same time as the bore 12. The other end 18 is arranged to allow acting on the bolt and may comprise for example a slot for receiving a screwdriver. It may or may not protrude from the end. A nut 20 is engaged on the threaded portion 17. In order to fix a pin 13 on the die 11, the bolt 17 is firstly screwed into the bore 12, then, after engagement of a certain length, the pin is blocked on the die with the nut. It is thus possible to fix as many lugs as are desired, to make the junction that one will choose, among those shown schematically in FIG.

La figure 3 représente en coupe un exemple de tube 21 utilisable selon l'invention. La section a une forme générale carrée, et chaque face comporte une rainure médiane longitudinale 22-25. On a représenté un exemple de section d'ergot 27 adaptée à ce tube, permettant un bon calage. Figure 3 shows in section an example of tube 21 used according to the invention. The section has a generally square shape, and each face has a longitudinal middle groove 22-25. An example of a spur section 27 adapted to this tube is shown, allowing a good wedging.

Avantageusement, deux rainures 22, 24 comportent un léger étranglement 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, à l'entrée de la rainure. Cela permet d'y caler un profilé 31 (figure 4) muni sur chaque face d'une rainure 32, 33. Le profilé est engagé élastiquement dans une rainure 22 par exemple, jusqu'au calage des étranglements 22a, 22b dans les rainures 32, 33. Advantageously, two grooves 22, 24 comprise a slight constriction 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, at the entrance of the groove. This makes it possible to wedge a profile 31 (FIG. 4) provided on each face with a groove 32, 33. The profile is engaged elastically in a groove 22, for example, until wedging of the constrictions 22a, 22b in the grooves 32 , 33.

En plaçant les rainures 22, 24 dans un plan horizontal la moitié du profilé 31 fera saillie horizontalement le long du tube 21 et permettra de supporter une étagère, ou un plan quelconque.By placing the grooves 22, 24 in a horizontal plane half of the profile 31 will protrude horizontally along the tube 21 and will support a shelf, or any plane.

Les autres rainures 23, 25 disposées verticalement pourront recevoir des éléments de plan verticaux, en verre par exemple. Pour la mise en place d'une plaque verticale, on l'engagera d'abord vers le haut dans la rainure verticale inférieure d'un tube horizontal supérieur, puis on la laissera descendre dans la rainure verticale supérieure d'un tube horizontal inférieur. Pour que le pan vertical reste maintenu en haut et en bas, il suffira de placer dans le fond de la rainure inférieure (23, figure 3) un bourrelet d'épaisseur suffisante. The other grooves 23, 25 arranged vertically may receive vertical plane elements, glass for example. For the placement of a vertical plate, it will first be engaged upward in the lower vertical groove of an upper horizontal tube, then let it go down into the upper vertical groove of a lower horizontal tube. So that the vertical pan remains maintained at the top and bottom, it will suffice to place in the bottom of the lower groove (23, Figure 3) a bead of sufficient thickness.

A titre d'exemple, les éléments pourront avoir les dimensions suivantes - côté du dé 11 ou du tube 21 : 28 à 30 - épaisseur de la paroi du tube : 1,2 mm - largeur d'une rainure 22-25 : 8 mm - longueur d'un ergot : 5 à 7 cm. By way of example, the elements may have the following dimensions - side of the die 11 or tube 21: 28 to 30 - thickness of the tube wall: 1.2 mm - width of a groove 22-25: 8 mm - length of a lug: 5 to 7 cm.

Le dé pourra être recousent d'une gaine plastique dont on percera les faces devant recevoir un ergot. Les rainures non utilisées des tubes pourront recevoir une baguette de garniture de couleur choisie. The dice can be sewn with a plastic sheath which one will pierce the faces to receive a lug. Unused grooves in the tubes will accommodate a selected color trim strip.

On a utilisé l'expression "dé" pour désigner l'organe de jonction de plusieurs ergots. Dans la mesure où il peut assurer sa fonction, il apparaîtra que l'on peut s'éearter de la forme cubique. L'organe de jonction pourra ainsi présenter des facettes ou des arrondis. The term "dice" has been used to designate the junction member of several lugs. Insofar as it can assure its function, it will appear that one can get away from the cubic form. The joining member may thus have facets or roundings.

il va de soi que le mode de réalisation décrit n'est qu'un exemple et qu'il sera possible de le modifier notamment par substitution d'équivalents techniques sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.  it goes without saying that the described embodiment is only an example and that it will be possible to modify it in particular by substitution of technical equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention.
