Abstract

The invention relates to an intermediate system which pivots on itself and locks itself upon assembly. As a rough guide it is composed of two assembly grooves connected by a rotation head. It is composed of two identical parts fitted together and of a central core joining them (1). Each of the two parts is composed of two rigid cheeks forming a groove (2), which cheeks are joined together by an articulation (3). Opposite this groove, one of the cheeks ends in a finger (4) and the other in half a rotation head (5). When clips (6) are clamped into the grooves, the latter are separated and, by pivoting, the fingers come to press against the head, thus preventing it from rotating. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the production of "curved" structures or partitions with an aluminium framework.

Description

Système adapté à un principe de structure modulable permettant de faire varier l'angle d'assemblage de certains profils entre eux. System adapted to a principle of modular structure making it possible to vary the angle of assembly of certain profiles between them.

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE
La présente invention concerne un système trouvant son utilisation dans la structure aluminium des stands,des expositions et foires,des agencements etc...TECHNICAL AREA
The present invention relates to a system which finds its use in the aluminum structure of stands, exhibitions and fairs, fittings, etc.

La marque la plus représentative pour cette structure est SODEN avec notamment sa pince CBX" (brevet SODEM) permettant la solidarisation simple et rapide entre deux profilés. The most representative brand for this structure is SODEN with in particular its CBX clamp "(SODEM patent) allowing simple and rapid joining between two profiles.

Vu de dessus, l'assemblage entre une gorge de profilé, généralement utilisé comme montant, et une pince ( ex : CEX logée le plus souvent à l'extrémité des traverses, s'effectue toujours et uniquement avec le même angle,la pince rentrant puis s'écartant dans la gorge. Cela limite le nombre des possibilités d'angles au nombre de gorges sur les montants
DESCRIPTION
Le système selon l'invention remédie à une partie de ces contraintes : il permet d'assembler entre eux deux éléments terminés par une pince (type CBX), avec une variation d'amplitud de + ou - 45" environ par rapport à un axe de référence (en vue de dessus).Seen from above, the assembly between a profile groove, generally used as an upright, and a clamp (eg CEX housed most often at the end of the crosspieces, always and only with the same angle, the clamp returning then moving away in the groove. This limits the number of possible angles to the number of grooves on the uprights
DESCRIPTION
The system according to the invention overcomes some of these constraints: it makes it possible to assemble between them two elements terminated by a clamp (CBX type), with an amplitude variation of + or - 45 "approximately with respect to an axis reference (in top view).

Selon une première caractéristique il se compose de deux parties identiques emboitées l'une dans l'autre. According to a first characteristic, it consists of two identical parts nested one inside the other.

Chacune de ces deux parties comporte deux joues rigides formant une gorge de largeur variable,toujours compatible avec les pinces d'assemblage; d'une demi tette de rotation, d'une articulation et d'un "doigt".Each of these two parts has two rigid cheeks forming a groove of variable width, always compatible with the assembly clamps; a half rotation spindle, a joint and a "finger".

Un noyau rigide logé au milieu de la tête du système assure la cohésion et la bonne rotation entre les deux parties.A rigid core housed in the middle of the head of the system ensures cohesion and good rotation between the two parts.

A l'opposé de la gorge,la joue articulée est terminée par un doigt qui, par pivotement autour de l'articulation tend à se rapprocher de l'axe de la tête de rotation lorsque la pince écarte la rainure.Opposite the groove, the articulated cheek is terminated by a finger which, by pivoting around the articulation tends to approach the axis of the rotation head when the clamp draws aside the groove.

Sans contrainte, l'angle entre les axes des deux parties peut varier d'environ 900. Par contre, lors du serrage d'une pince dans l'une des rainures, celle ci s'écarte et met le doigt en pression sur la surface exterieur de rotation de la partie opposée, bloquant ainsi la rotation à l'angle déterminé.Without constraint, the angle between the axes of the two parts can vary by around 900. On the other hand, when tightening a clamp in one of the grooves, this deviates and puts the finger under pressure on the surface external rotation of the opposite part, thus blocking rotation at the determined angle.

Selon le même principe,la même chose se passe à l'inverse lors du serrage de la deuxième pince dans l'autre rainure, ce qui augmente la solidité de l'assemblage.According to the same principle, the same thing happens in reverse when tightening the second clamp in the other groove, which increases the solidity of the assembly.

La hauteur du système n'est pas limitée elle peut aussi s'adapter à celle des pinces ou des profilés. The height of the system is not limited; it can also be adapted to that of the clamps or profiles.

La hauteur du noyau peut différer de la hauteur du système et il peut être multiplié. The height of the core can differ from the height of the system and it can be multiplied.

Selon une variante, non illustrée, le cylindre qui fait office di noyau peut être remplacé par une ou plusieurs pièces filetées.According to a variant, not illustrated, the cylinder which acts as a core can be replaced by one or more threaded parts.

Selon une deuxième variante, non illustrée, le noyau peut être sphérique.According to a second variant, not illustrated, the core can be spherical.

Selon une troisième variante, la partie articulée des rainures peut être une autre pièce.According to a third variant, the articulated part of the grooves can be another part.

La figure 4 représente une vue de dessus de l'invention.Figure 4 shows a top view of the invention.

En référence à ces dessins, ce système se compose de deux profils identiques emboités l'un dans l'autre et d'un noyau central (en 1). With reference to these drawings, this system consists of two identical profiles fitted one inside the other and a central core (in 1).

Chacune des deux parties est composée de deux joues, formant une rainure (en 2), et reliées par une articulation (en 3). Each of the two parts is composed of two cheeks, forming a groove (in 2), and connected by a joint (in 3).

A l'opposé de cette rainure l'une des joues est terminée par un doigt (en 4Z, l'autre par une demi-tête de rotation (en 5).Opposite this groove, one of the cheeks is terminated by a finger (in 4Z, the other by a rotation half-head (in 5).

Lors du serrage d'une pince dans une des rainures (en 6), celle-ci se déforme et s'écarte grace à son articulation (en 3).When clamping a clamp in one of the grooves (in 6), it deforms and moves apart thanks to its articulation (in 3).

Par pivottement autour de cette articulation le doigt se rapproche du noyau et vient en pression sur la surface extérieur de rotation de la demi-tête opposée (en 5).By pivoting around this articulation the finger approaches the core and comes into pressure on the external surface of rotation of the opposite half-head (at 5).

La même chose se passe, lors du serrage de l'autre pince renforçant ainsi le blocage à l'angle choisi entre les deux profils.The same thing happens, when tightening the other clamp thus reinforcing the blocking at the angle chosen between the two profiles.

Selon ce principe, plus l'écartement des rainures est grand, plue la pression exercée entre les doigts et les surfaces exterieurs de rotations sont fortes, donc meilleur sera le blocage.According to this principle, the greater the spacing of the grooves, the greater the pressure exerted between the fingers and the external surfaces of rotations, therefore the better the blocking.

Selon la variante, figure 2, l'articulation est obtenue par l'assemblage d'une autre pièce qui constitue la deuxième joue de: profils. According to the variant, FIG. 2, the joint is obtained by assembling another part which constitutes the second cheek of: profiles.

Ce système et sa variante sont obtenus par une extrusion d'aluminium, sa hauteur peut évoluer de quelques centimètres à plusieurs mètres. This system and its variant are obtained by an aluminum extrusion, its height can vary from a few centimeters to several meters.

La nature du noyau n'est pas définie : il sera plutôt rigide et doit permettre une articulation aisée entre les deux parties du système. De section cylindrique il peut être sphèrique, cônique, ou encore cylindrique fileté
Selon une variante non illustrée, l'une ou les deux joues peuvent permettre le départ d'un assemblage du même type (pince) ou encore different...The nature of the nucleus is not defined: it will be rather rigid and must allow an easy articulation between the two parts of the system. Of cylindrical section it can be spherical, conical, or even cylindrical threaded
According to a variant not illustrated, one or both cheeks can allow the departure of an assembly of the same type (clamp) or even different ...

Selon une autre variante non illustrée, les deux parties, emboitées l'une dans l'autre, ne doivent pas nécessairement avoir la même section.  According to another variant not illustrated, the two parts, nested one inside the other, do not necessarily have to have the same section.
