Abstract

1. A concrete paving element of polygonal basic configuration adapted to be decomposed into several similar and equal polygons, provided with grooves (1, 2) dividing the element on one portion of its thickness into several portions (3, 4, 5) having each the appearance of a separate paving-stone, a gap being left between the periphery and at least one portion of the paving-stones, characterised in that it has a base configuration adapted to be decomposed into three similar and equal polygons of which two are aligned to constitute a figure ranging from a T-shape to an L-shape, and that it is divided by said grooves (1, 2; 15, 16, 17) into three paving stones having the same general shape but different dimensions for at least two of them, in that the distance between the edge of the element and at least one portion of at least one of the paving stones is inferior to half the average width of the grooves, and that the middle of the groove formed between two adjacent paving stones is not coincident with the common side (a, b) of the two polygons constituting the paving element and lies in the area of said groove.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un élément de pavage en béton, dont la forme de base est polygonale, décomposable en plusieurs polygones semblables et égaux, présentant des rainures divisant l'élément, sur une partie de son épaisseur, en plusieurs parties présentant chacune l'aspect d'un pavé individuel, un espace subsistant entre le pourtour de l'élément et au moins une partie des pavés.The present invention relates to a concrete paving element, the basic shape of which is polygonal, decomposable into several similar and equal polygons, having grooves dividing the element, over part of its thickness, into several parts each having l aspect of an individual paving stone, a space remaining between the circumference of the element and at least a part of the paving stones.

De tels éléments de pavage sont utilisés pour obtenir, au moyen d'éléments en béton, l'aspect d'un pavage traditionnel obtenu au moyen de pavés en pierre. On connait de tels éléments de forme carrée divisés par quatre rainures en neuf pavés carrés. Un pavage réalisé au moyen de ces éléments présente un aspect géométrique très régulier, tous les pavés étant identiques et parfaitement alignés, de telle sorte qu'un tel pavage ne rappelle que très peu un pavage traditionnel.Such paving elements are used to obtain, by means of concrete elements, the appearance of a traditional paving obtained by means of stone pavers. We know such square elements divided by four grooves into nine square blocks. A paving made by means of these elements has a very regular geometric appearance, all the paving stones being identical and perfectly aligned, so that such paving hardly recalls a traditional paving.

On connaît également des éléments de pavage constitués de plusieurs hexagones réguliers sur chacun desquels est formé un pavé rond (DE-A-25 00 970). Le pavage obtenu est très régulier et ne rappelle pas du tout un pavage naturel.Paving elements are also known which consist of several regular hexagons on each of which a round block is formed (DE-A-25 00 970). The paving obtained is very regular and does not at all recall natural paving.

Selon une autre exécution (DE-A- 28 52 474), un élément rectangulaire est divisé par des rainures en plusieurs pavés ou rectangulaires. Ce document suggère d'exécuter des pavés individuels de formes et/ou de grandeurs différentes, mais ne donne aucun exemple d'exécution.According to another embodiment (DE-A-28 52 474), a rectangular element is divided by grooves into several blocks or rectangular. This document suggests executing individual pavers of different shapes and / or sizes, but does not give any example of execution.

On a également proposé d'utiliser des éléments rectangulaires divisés en deux parties inégales que l'on dispose tantôt dans une direction tantôt dans une autre direction perpendiculaire à la première. Un tel pavage présente également une régularité qui est étrangère à un pavage traditionnel.It has also been proposed to use rectangular elements divided into two unequal parts which are sometimes available in one direction and sometimes in another direction perpendicular to the first. Such paving also has a regularity which is foreign to traditional paving.

On a également proposé de réaliser des pavages en arc de cercle au moyen de dalles divisées en environ vingt cinq pavés individuels disposés en arc de cercle. De telles dalles sont relativement grandes et peu commodes à poser. Le raccordement entre les dalles se fait au moyen de pavés en forme de losange peu naturelle. En outre, les espaces entre les pavés sont très réguliers, car le moulage ne permet pas de réaliser des rainures d'une largeur inférieure à 8 mm et une largeur supérieure rend le pavage peu confortable.It has also been proposed to produce pavements in an arc of a circle by means of tiles divided into approximately twenty-five individual pavers arranged in an arc of a circle. Such tiles are relatively large and inconvenient to lay. The connection between the tiles is made using unnatural diamond-shaped pavers. In addition, the spaces between the pavers are very regular, since the molding does not allow grooves with a width of less than 8 mm and a greater width to make the paving uncomfortable.

On connaît également des pavages en arc de cercle réalisés au moyen de trois types d'éléments différents en arc de cercle divisés en trois, respectivement en deux parties inégales, mais malgré ces inégalités, le pavage obtenu présente une régularité et des alignements totalement étrangers à un pavage traditionnel.There are also known tiling in an arc formed by means of three different types of elements in an arc divided in three, respectively in two unequal parts, but in spite of these inequalities, the paving obtained presents a regularity and alignments completely foreign to a traditional paving.

Le but de la présente invention est de rompre l'alignement de tels pavages, c'est-à-dire d'obtenir un désalignement apparent, tel qu'on le trouve dans des pavages traditionnels.The object of the present invention is to break the alignment of such pavements, that is to say to obtain an apparent misalignment, as found in traditional pavements.

A cet effet, l'élément de pavage selon l'invention présente une forme décomposable en trois polygones semblables et égaux dont deux sont alignés de manière à constituer une figure allant d'une forme en T à une forme en L, et qu'il est divisé par lesdites rainures en trois pavés de même forme générale, mais dont deux au moins ont des dimensions différentes et par le fait que la distance entre le bord de l'élément et au moins l'un des pavés est inférieure à la moitié de la largeur moyenne des rainures, et par le fait que le milieu de la rainure séparant deux pavés ne coïncide pas avec le côté commun aux deux polygones composant l'élément de pavage et se trouvant dans la zone de cette rainure.To this end, the paving element according to the invention has a shape decomposable into three similar and equal polygons, two of which are aligned so as to constitute a figure going from a T shape to an L shape, and that it is divided by said grooves into three blocks of the same general shape, but at least two of which have different dimensions and by the fact that the distance between the edge of the element and at least one of the blocks is less than half of the average width of the grooves, and by the fact that the middle of the groove separating two paving stones does not coincide with the side common to the two polygons making up the paving element and lying in the region of this groove.

En faisant varier la position des rainures, on obtient des éléments différents les uns des autres non seulement par la dimension de leur pavé, mais également par la position des rainures et la distance entre certains bords de l'élément et le bord des pavés. En disposant ces éléments les uns à côté des autres, imbriqués les uns dans les autres, même si ceux-ci ont exactement la même forme, non seulement l'alignement des pavés individuels est rompu, mais également l'alignement des rainures et de plus les rainures n'ont pas toujours la même largeur, certaines rainures présentant une largeur sensiblement inférieure à 8 mm, étant donné qu' à la jonction de deux éléments on trouve des pavés dont la distance au bord de l'élément est inférieure à la demi largeur d'une rainure, c'est à-dire inférieure à 4 mm environ. L'aspect d'un tel pavement est très proche de celui d'un pavement traditionnel en raison de l'irrégularité et des désalignements obtenus.By varying the position of the grooves, elements that are different from one another are obtained not only by the size of their block, but also by the position of the grooves and the distance between certain edges of the element and the edge of the blocks. By placing these elements next to each other, nested within each other, even if they have exactly the same shape, not only the alignment of the individual blocks is broken, but also the alignment of the grooves and more the grooves have not always the same width, some grooves having a width substantially less than 8 mm, since at the junction of two elements there are paving stones whose distance from the edge of the element is less than half the width of a groove , that is to say less than about 4 mm. The appearance of such a pavement is very close to that of a traditional pavement because of the irregularity and the misalignments obtained.

Le pavement peut être réalisé soit au moyen d'éléments de forme absolument identique, soit au moyen d'éléments de formes différentes et complémentaires. Particulièrement, la forme en T peut être symétrique ou asymétrique.The paving can be carried out either by means of elements of absolutely identical shape, or by means of elements of different and complementary shapes. In particular, the T shape can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

La forme générale du pavé individuel peut être carrée, ronde ou en forme de tonneau, la forme des trois polygones de base étant choisie de manière à s'adapter à la forme du pavé, c'est-à-dire de manière à ne pas avoir de trop grands espaces entre les pavés, d'un élément à l'autre.The general shape of the individual paving stone can be square, round or barrel-shaped, the shape of the three basic polygons being chosen so as to adapt to the shape of the paving stone, that is to say so as not to have too large spaces between the pavers, from one element to another.

L'invention a également pour objet un pavement obtenu au moyen des éléments selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a pavement obtained by means of the elements according to the invention.

L'élément de pavage représenté aux figures 1 à 3 est en forme de T asymétrique. Il est décomposable en trois carrés identiques comme indiqué par les lignes en pointillés a et b. Ces carrés ont par exemple 10 cm de côté. L'élément est divisé en trois parties par deux rainures 1 et 2 de largeur irrégulière qui s'étendent sur la moitié de l'épaisseur de l'élément et ne coincident pas avec les lignes a et b. La rainure 1 est située à gauche de la ligne a dans l'exemple représenté, mais elle pourrait être également située à droite de cette ligne a. Quant à la rainure 2, plus précisément le milieu de cette rainure 2, elle peut être décalée, soit au-dessus soit au-dessous de la ligne b. Les deux rainures 1 et 2 divisent l'élément de pavage, sur la moitié de son épaisseur, en trois pavés 3,4 et 5 de forme générale rectangulaire, respectivement carrée pour le pavé 5, dont les côtés sont constitués par des lignes irrégulières imitant la forme d'un pavé cubique en pierre taillée. En outre, la distance entre le pourtour de l'élément de pavage, plus précisément de sa base 6, et le bord des pavés est variable et sur plusieurs côtés inférieure à la moitié de la largeur minimale des rainures 1 et 2. La largeur minimale des rainures 1 et 2 étant de 8 mm pour des raisons techniques de fabrication, il est ainsi possible d'avoir des rainures largeur inférieure entre deux pavés voisins appartenant à deux éléments différents, ce qui permet de se libérer de cette condition de largeur minimale de 8 mm et d'avoir une grande diversité dans la largeur des rainures, diversité que l'on trouve dans les pavements traditionnels en pierres.The paving element shown in Figures 1 to 3 is in the form of an asymmetrical T. It can be broken down into three identical squares as indicated by the lines in dotted a and b. These squares are for example 10 cm on a side. The element is divided into three parts by two grooves 1 and 2 of irregular width which extend over half the thickness of the element and do not coincide with lines a and b. The groove 1 is located to the left of the line a in the example shown, but it could also be located to the right of this line a. As for the groove 2, more precisely the middle of this groove 2, it can be offset, either above or below the line b. The two grooves 1 and 2 divide the paving element, over half of its thickness, into three blocks 3,4 and 5 of generally rectangular shape, respectively square for block 5, the sides of which are formed by irregular lines imitating the shape of a cubic paved stone. In addition, the distance between the periphery of the paving element, more precisely from its base 6, and the edge of the pavers is variable and on several sides less than half the minimum width of the grooves 1 and 2. The minimum width grooves 1 and 2 being 8 mm for technical manufacturing reasons, it is thus possible to have grooves of smaller width between two neighboring pavers belonging to two different elements, which makes it possible to be free from this condition of minimum width of 8 mm and to have a great diversity in the width of the grooves, diversity that is found in traditional stone pavements.

La surface des pavés peut être irrégulière pour donner l'aspect d'une roche brisée ou délitée (figure 3). Elle peut être aussi arrondie pour lui donner l'aspect d'un galet ou d'un pavé usé (figure 6).The surface of the pavers may be irregular to give the appearance of a broken or broken rock (Figure 3). It can also be rounded to give it the appearance of a pebble or a worn paving stone (Figure 6).

La figure 7 représente un exemple de pavage réalisé au moyen d'éléments selon les figures 1 à 3, mais présentant des pavés différents. On voit par exemple que l'un des éléments présente deux pavés 8 et 9 de formes rectangulaires accentuées et très différentes, ces pavés étant séparés par une rainure 10 pratiquement oblique par rapport au bord de l'élément. La seconde rainure 11 est pratiquement totalement en-dessous de la ligne b. La diversité des formes des pavés, l'inégalité des rainures et le désalignement de celles-ci donnent au pavage un aspect qui ne distingue pratiquement pas de celui d'un pavage traditionnel en pierres taillées.FIG. 7 represents an example of paving produced by means of elements according to FIGS. 1 to 3, but having different paving stones. We see for example that one of the elements has two blocks 8 and 9 of accentuated and very different rectangular shapes, these blocks being separated by a groove 10 which is practically oblique with respect to the edge of the element. The second groove 11 is almost completely below line b. The diversity of the shapes of the pavers, the unevenness of the grooves and the misalignment of these give the paving an aspect which practically does not distinguish from that of a traditional paving in cut stones.

Une seconde forme d'exécution d'élément de pavage selon l'invention est représentée aux figures 4 à 6. Cet élément, également en forme de T, symétrique, est décomposable en trois hexagones identiques comme ceci est indiqué par les lignes en pointillé c, d et e. Ces hexagones ont six côtés égaux. L'élément est découpé jusqu'à mi-hauteur en trois pavés 12, 13 et 14 de forme approximativement ovale s'inscrivant approximativement dans chacun des hexagones en laissant subsister des rainures 15, 16 et 17 entre les pavés et des zones libres telles que 18 entre les pavés et le, poutour de la base 19 de l'élément. Les trois pavés, 12, 13 et 14 ont des dimensions et des formes généralement différentes qui peuvent varier à l'infini. Dans l'exemple représenté le pavé 12 est plus grand que le pavé 13 et déborde sur l'hexagone supportant le pavé 13, de telle sorte que la rainure 15 est déportée par rapport à l'axe de symétrie de l'élément. Le pavé 12 déborde également sur l'hexagone portant le pavé 14, de telle sorte que la rainure 17 se trouve déportée par rapport au côté commun d des hexagones. Comme pour la première forme d'exécution, il est possible de fabriquer facilement un certain nombre d'éléments de pavage différents et de les assembler en les mélangeant comme pour le pavage représenté à la figure 7. On obtient alors un pavement semblant être constitué de pavés ou galets ovales en pierres naturelles de différentes dimensions et de formes variables sans alignement rigoureux des pavés et des espaces séparant ces pavés.A second embodiment of a paving element according to the invention is shown in Figures 4 to 6. This element, also T-shaped, symmetrical, can be broken down into three identical hexagons as indicated by the dotted lines c , d and e. These hexagons have six equal sides. The element is cut up to mid-height into three blocks 12, 13 and 14 of approximately oval shape which are approximately inscribed in each of the hexagons, leaving grooves 15, 16 and 17 between the blocks and free areas such as 18 between the pavers and the base 19 beam of the element. The three blocks, 12, 13 and 14 have generally different dimensions and shapes which can vary endlessly. In the example shown the block 12 is larger than the block 13 and projects beyond the hexagon supporting the block 13, so that the groove 15 is offset relative to the axis of symmetry of the element. The block 12 also extends beyond the hexagon carrying the block 14, so that the groove 17 is offset by relative to the common side of hexagons. As for the first embodiment, it is possible to easily manufacture a certain number of different paving elements and to assemble them by mixing them as for the paving shown in FIG. 7. A pavement which then appears to consist of oval pavers or pebbles of natural stones of different dimensions and variable shapes without rigorous alignment of the pavers and the spaces separating these pavers.

Une variante d'exécution de l'élément de pavage décrit ci-dessus est représentée aux figures 9, 10 et 11. La forme de base de l'élément de pavage est identique à celle de l'élément représenté à la figure 4, c'est-à-dire composée de trois hexagones non réguliers, mais à deux axes de symétrie orthogonaux, disposés en T. Les angles 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 et 25, c'est-à-dire les angles les plus petits du pourtour, sont toutefois coupés, de telle sorte que l'on n'a plus d'angle vif. L'élément est constitué de trois pavés 26, 27, 28 de forme ovale ou ovoide irrégulière et de grandeurs différentes. Les pavés présentent une partie centrale plane 29 rappelant un pavé galet usé et une partie périphérique arrondie 30. Dans les angles rentrants du pourtour sont en outre prévues des échancrures 31, 32 et 33. Le pourtour de l'élément suit ainsi de plus près le contour des pavés. Les éléments sont posés sur un lit de sable fin non gélif. Les trous subsistant entre les éléments du fait des angles coupés et des échancrures sont remplis avec un sable de colmatage argileux. Une certaine quantité de sable pénètre également dans les rainures 34 de telle sorte que l'aspect final du pavement est celui d'un pavement en galets sur lit de sable.An alternative embodiment of the paving element described above is shown in Figures 9, 10 and 11. The basic shape of the paving element is identical to that of the element shown in Figure 4, c '' is to say composed of three non regular hexagons, but with two orthogonal axes of symmetry, arranged in T. The angles 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25, i.e. the most small of the circumference, are however cut, so that one no longer has a sharp angle. The element consists of three blocks 26, 27, 28 of irregular oval or ovoid shape and of different sizes. The pavers have a flat central part 29 reminiscent of a worn pebble paver and a rounded peripheral part 30. In the re-entrant angles of the periphery are further provided notches 31, 32 and 33. The periphery of the element thus follows more closely outline of cobblestones. The elements are placed on a bed of fine, non-freezing sand. The holes remaining between the elements due to the cut angles and notches are filled with a clay plugging sand. A certain quantity of sand also penetrates into the grooves 34 so that the final appearance of the pavement is that of a pavement in pebbles on a sand bed.

De la même manière il serait possible de réaliser des pavés ronds disposés dans des hexagones réguliers ou des pavés en forme de tonneau. De manière générale, les rainures peuvent diviser le pavé sur une hauteur variant de la moité au tiers de son épaisseur.In the same way it would be possible to produce round pavers arranged in regular hexagons or pavers in the shape of a barrel. In general, the grooves can divide the paver over a height varying from half to a third of its thickness.

En partant des éléments de pavage décrits ci-dessus il est possible de réaliser un pavage en arc de cercle. En partant par exemple de l'élément représenté à la figure 1 et en donnant une certaine courbure aux côtés parallèles à la ligne b, il est possible de réaliser un pavage tel que représenté à la figure 8.Starting from the paving elements described above, it is possible to produce paving in an arc. By starting, for example, from the element shown in FIG. 1 and by giving a certain curvature to the sides parallel to the line b, it is possible to produce paving as shown in FIG. 8.
