Pavement consisting of rectangular concrete paving-stones of different dimensions having an irregular surface and irregular top edges adapted to imitate the appearance of a hewed-stone pavement, characterized in that one of the dimensions (5, 6) in width or length is the same for all the stones, whereas the other dimension (3, 4) differs from one stone to another according to a random choice, one at least of the sides of said paving-stones comprising means (17) for identifying the constant dimension.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un pavement constitué de pavés en béton rectangulaires de dimensions différentes et présentant une surface irrégulière et des arêtes supérieures irrégulières destinées à reproduire l'aspect d'un pavement en pierres taillées.The present invention relates to a pavement consisting of rectangular concrete pavers of different dimensions and having an irregular surface and irregular upper edges intended to reproduce the appearance of a pavement made of cut stones.

Divers types de pavés ont été proposés pour obtenir, au moyen d'éléments en béton, c'est-à-dire d'éléments relativement bon marché, l'aspect d'un pavage traditionnel réalisé au moyen de pavés en pierre taillée. Il s'est avéré toutefois qu'il ne suffit pas de donner à un pavé en béton une surface irrégulière et des arêtes supérieures irrégulières pour obtenir un pavement semblable aux pavements réalisé au moyen de pavés en pierre taillée. En effet, la régularité et la linéarité des rainures séparant les pavés est étrangère à un pavement réalisé au moyen de pavés en pierre taillée, de telle sorte qu'un tel pavage en béton ne rappelle que très peu un pavage traditionnel. Pour obtenir une certaine irrégularité dans le pavement, on a 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. Dans le but de supprimer les alignements non naturels, la déposante a réalisé un élément de pavage de forme polygonale, de forme allant du T au L divisé par des rainures en trois pavés de même forme générale mais dont deux au moins ont des dimensions différentes (EP-A-0 126 507). Ces éléments de pavage ne permettent toutefois pas d'éliminer tous les alignements dans le sens transversal au sens de juxtaposition des éléments, sens dans lequel un alignement est inévitable. On connaît également des pavements constitués de quatre types de pavés de même largeur mais présentant quatre longueurs différentes, ces longueurs étant modulaires, ce qui permet certes d'arriver régulièrement au bout de la ligne, mais qui laisse apparaitre des alignements transversaux non naturels.Various types of pavers have been proposed in order to obtain, by means of concrete elements, that is to say relatively inexpensive elements, the appearance of a traditional paving carried out by means of cut stone pavers. However, it has been found that it is not enough to give a concrete paver an irregular surface and irregular upper edges to obtain a pavement similar to pavements produced using dressed stone pavers. Indeed, the regularity and the linearity of the grooves separating the paving stones is foreign to a paving realized by means of cut stone paving stones, so that such a concrete paving hardly recalls a traditional paving. To obtain a certain irregularity in the pavement, it has been proposed to use rectangular elements divided into two unequal parts which are sometimes arranged in one direction and sometimes in another direction perpendicular to the first. Such paving also has a regularity which is foreign to traditional paving. With the aim of eliminating unnatural alignments, the applicant produced a paving element of polygonal shape, of shape going from T to L divided by grooves in three pavers of the same general shape but at least two of which have different dimensions ( EP-A-0 126 507). These paving elements do not however make it possible to eliminate all the alignments in the transverse direction to the direction of juxtaposition of elements, direction in which an alignment is inevitable. There are also known pavements made up of four types of pavers of the same width but having four different lengths, these lengths being modular, which certainly makes it possible to arrive regularly at the end of the line, but which reveals unnatural transverse alignments.

La présente invention a principalement pour but de réaliser un pavement dans lequel n'apparait aucun alignement dans la direction transversale à la direction de pose des pavés.The main object of the present invention is to produce a pavement in which no alignment appears in the direction transverse to the laying direction of the pavers.

A cet effet, le pavement selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que l'une des dimensions du pavé, largeur ou longueur, est la même pour tous les pavés, tandis que l'autre dimension diffère d'un pavé à l'autre selon un choix aléatoire, au moins l'un des côtés des pavés étant muni d'un moyen d'identification de la dimension constante.To this end, the pavement according to the invention is characterized in that one of the dimensions of the paver, width or length, is the same for all the pavers, while the other dimension differs from paver to another according to a random choice, at least one of the sides of the pavers being provided with a means of identifying the constant dimension.

Chaque lot de pavés comprend des pavés de différentes dimensions, de sorte que l'ouvrier qui pose ces pavés peut prendre au hasard, tantôt un pavé plus grand tantôt un pavé plus petit. De cette manière, la pavement réalisé ne peut pratiquement pas présenter d'alignement transversal des interstices séparant deux pavés.Each batch of pavers includes pavers of different dimensions, so that the worker who installs these pavers can take at random, sometimes a larger paver sometimes a smaller paver. In this way, the paving produced can practically have no transverse alignment of the interstices separating two paving stones.

En munissant en outre les pavés d'arêtes irrégulières supérieures présentant un retrait différent de chaque côté du pavé relativement au soubassement du pavé, il est en outre possible d'obtenir des joints de largeurs différentes entre les pavés, ces joints de largeurs différentes étant répartis de façon aléatoire.By additionally providing the pavers with irregular upper edges having a different setback on each side of the paver relative to the base of the paver, it is also possible to obtain joints of different widths between the pavers, these joints of different widths being distributed randomly.

Selon une forme d'exécution le moyen d'identification de la dimension constante est avantageusement constitué par un bossage situé approximativement au milieu de l'un au moins des cotés de dimension invariable. Ces bossages agissent comme écarteur de manière à former automatiquement un interstice entre les pavés lors de la pose de ceux-ci pavé contre pavé. Ces bossages peuvent également être utilisé comme point de pivotement d'un pavé sur l'autre lors de l'exécution d'un pavage en courbe. Pour les courbes de faible rayon on utilise avantageusement des pavés de forme trapézoïdale, qui seront généralement utilsés en combinaison avec des pavés de forme non trapézoïdale.According to one embodiment, the means for identifying the constant dimension is advantageously constituted by a boss situated approximately in the middle of at least one of the sides of invariable dimension. These bosses act as a spacer so as to automatically form a gap between the paving stones when laying them paving against paving. These bosses can also be used as a pivot point from one block to the other when performing curved paving. For curves of small radius, pavers of trapezoidal shape are advantageously used, which will generally be used in combination with pavers of non-trapezoidal shape.

Le pavé en béton représenté aux figures 1 à 4 est constitué, dans sa partie inférieure, d'un soubassement 1 s'étendant sur les deux tiers de la hauteur du pavé et d'une partie supérieure 2 s'étendant sur le tiers de la hauteur et constituant la partie visible du pavé posé.The concrete paver shown in Figures 1 to 4 consists, in its lower part, of a base 1 extending over two thirds of the height of the paver and an upper part 2 extending over one third of the height and constituting the visible part of the paving stone laid.

Le soubassement 1 à la forme d'un prisme droit. Sa base, approximativement rectangulaire, présente deux côtés rectilignes parallèles 3 et 4, les deux autres côtés opposés 5 et 6 étant constitués par des lignes irrégulières rappelant les arêtes d'un pavé en pierre taillée. Les angles, 7. 8. 9 et 10 de la base du pavé sont arrondis pour une raison qui sera exposée plus loin. Les côtés 3 et 4 sont tangents aux arrondis, mais ce n'est pas le cas des côtés 5 et 6. Alors que les faces latérales du soubassement correspondant aux côtés 3 et 4 s'étendent sur les deux tiers de la hauteur du pavé, les faces correspondant aux côtés 5 et 6 de la base s'étendent sur toute la hauteur du pavé.The base 1 has the shape of a right prism. Its approximately rectangular base has two parallel rectilinear sides 3 and 4, the other two opposite sides 5 and 6 being formed by irregular lines reminiscent of the edges of a block of cut stone. The angles, 7. 8. 9 and 10 of the base of the block are rounded for a reason which will be explained later. Sides 3 and 4 are tangent to the rounded edges, but this is not the case for sides 5 and 6. While the lateral faces of the base correspond to the sides 3 and 4 extend over two thirds of the height of the paver, the faces corresponding to the sides 5 and 6 of the base extend over the entire height of the paver.

La partie supérieure 2 du pavé présente une surface 11 irrégulière rappelant l'aspect de la pierre taillée, cette surface 11 étant limitée par quatre arêtes irrégulières. Les arêtes opposées 12 et 13 coincident dans leur projection verticale, avec les arêtes 5 et 6 du soubassement, tandis que les arêtes 14 et 15 sont plus ou moins en retrait du contour du soubassement. Le retrait de l'arête 15 est sensiblement supérieur à celui de l'arête 14 pour les raisons qui seront exposées plus loin. Les côtés 5 et 6 du soubassement présentent en outre en leur milieu un bossage 16. respectivement 17, le bossage 17 étant de hauteur sensiblement supérieure à la hauteur du bossage 16.The upper part 2 of the paver has an irregular surface 11 recalling the appearance of the cut stone, this surface 11 being limited by four irregular edges. The opposite edges 12 and 13 coincide in their vertical projection, with the edges 5 and 6 of the base, while the edges 14 and 15 are more or less set back from the contour of the base. The withdrawal of the edge 15 is significantly greater than that of the edge 14 for the reasons which will be explained below. The sides 5 and 6 of the base also have in their middle a boss 16. respectively 17, the boss 17 being of height substantially greater than the height of the boss 16.

La longueur rectiligne des côtés 5 et 6, c'est-à-dire la distance entre les côtés parallèles 3 et 4, est la même pour tous les pavés. Par contre, la longueur, des côtés 3 et 4 varie de façon, non modulaire d'un pavé à l'autre. Le choix de ces différentes longueurs est aléatoire. Les bossages 16 et 17 sont toujours situés sur les côtés de longueur invariable du pavé et peuvent être dès lors utilisés pour identifier ces cotés et positionner correctement le pavé lors de la pose.The straight length of sides 5 and 6, i.e. the distance between parallel sides 3 and 4, is the same for all pavers. On the other hand, the length of the sides 3 and 4 varies in a non-modular fashion from one block to another. The choice of these different lengths is random. The bosses 16 and 17 are always located on the invariable length sides of the paver and can therefore be used to identify these sides and correctly position the paver during installation.

De manière générale tous le pavé ne doivent pas forcément être réalisés comme le pavé représenté aux figures 1 à 4, mais certains pavés peuvent présenter un seul bossage (figure 5) ou aucun bossage (figure 6), les côtés de longueur invariable présentant dans ce dernier cas d'autres moyens d'identification tels qu'une marque ou autre. La différence des retraits des arêtes 14 et 15, ainsi que la hauteur différente des bossages 16 et 17, respectivement la présence ou l'absence de tels bossages, est destinée à obtenir de façon plus ou moins aléatoire, lors de la pose, des joints de largeurs différentes entre les pavés, comme c'est le cas d'un pavage en pierres taillées. Il est évident que pour obtenir cette irrégularité, il n'est pas nécessaire que tous les pavés présentent des retraits différents de chaque côté. La figure 6 représente un exemple de pavé dans lequel les retraits sont très faibles et pratiquement les mêmes des deux côtés. Toutes les combinaisons entre absence ou présence de 1 ou 2 bossages et retrait plus ou moins marqué des arêtes supérieurs, sont possibles. Les figures 2, 5 et 6 ne donnent qu'un petit aperçu des possiblités. Les figures 2, 5 et 6 montrent également trois dimensions variables typiques, le pavé de la figure 2 étant presque carré, tandis que les pavés selon les figures 5 et 6 sont franchement rectangulaires, de longueurs différentes.In general, all the paving stones need not necessarily be made like the paving stones shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, but certain paving stones may have a single boss (FIG. 5) or no bosses (FIG. 6), the sides of invariable length having in this last case of other means of identification such as a mark or other. The difference in withdrawals edges 14 and 15, as well as the different height of the bosses 16 and 17, respectively the presence or absence of such bosses, is intended to obtain in a more or less random manner, during installation, joints of different widths between the pavers, as is the case with cut stone paving. It is obvious that to obtain this irregularity, it is not necessary that all the pavers have different indentations on each side. FIG. 6 represents an example of a block in which the indentations are very small and practically the same on both sides. All combinations between the absence or presence of 1 or 2 bosses and more or less marked withdrawal of the upper edges are possible. Figures 2, 5 and 6 give only a small overview of the possibilities. Figures 2, 5 and 6 also show three typical variable dimensions, the block of Figure 2 being almost square, while the blocks of Figures 5 and 6 are frankly rectangular, of different lengths.

Le pavé représenté à la figure 7 est de forme nettement trapézoïdale, les côtés parallèles constituant naturellement les bases du trapèze. Un tel pavé peut être introduit de temps à autre, comme pavé irrégulié, dans un pavage rectiligne, mais il est avant tout destiné à réaliser des courbes de faible rayon, comme ceci sera; exposé plus loin.The block shown in Figure 7 is clearly trapezoidal, the parallel sides naturally constituting the bases of the trapezoid. Such a paving stone can be introduced from time to time, as an irregular paving stone, in a rectilinear paving, but it is above all intended to produce curves of small radius, as will be; discussed below.

La figure 8 représente un pavé nettement rectangulaire présentant une amorce de rupture s'étendant sur les deux faces latérales parallèles selon deux rainures 18 et 19 et sous le soubassement selon une rainure 20 s'étendant obliquement entre les côtés parallèles du soubassement, de telle sorte que lorsqu'on partage ce pavé, sur le chantier, celui-ci se partage en deux selon l'amorce de rupture et qu'on obtient deux petits pavés trapézoidaux. Non coupé, le pavé est utilisé comme un pavé rectangulaire normal.FIG. 8 represents a clearly rectangular block presenting a rupture initiation extending on the two parallel lateral faces according to two grooves 18 and 19 and under the base according to a groove 20 extending obliquely between the parallel sides of the base, so that when we share this paved, on the site, it is divided in two according to the initiation of failure and that two small trapezoidal pavers are obtained. Uncut, the paver is used like a normal rectangular paver.

La figure 9 représente une partie d'un exemple de pavage en ligne. La partie représentée comprend dix pavés A à J différents. Ces pavés sont tirés d'un lot de pavés plus ou, moins mélanges au départ d'usine. Selon le degré de mélange, l'ouvrier pourra soit prendre hasard, soit choisir successivement des pavés de dimensions et de caractéristiques différentes. Dans le cas représenté, les pavés A, E, H. et J ont des arêtes supérieures de longueur variable présentant un retrait sensiblement différent de chaque côté relativement au soubassement, tandis que les pavés C, D, F et I ont des arêtes supérieures de longueur variable ne présentant que peu de retraite relativement au soubassement. Les .pavés A, C, E, F, H et J présentent un bossage écarteur, tandis que les autres pavés ne présentent pas, de bossage. En outre, les pavés B et G sont de forme légèrement trapézoïdale. On constate que les joints séparant deux pavés sont de largeur irrégulière. Ainsi, le joint entre le pavé A et les pavés D et E est de largeur moyenne car il. est formé d'un côté par une arête fortement en retrait et de l'autre par des arêtes faiblement en retrait. Par contre le joint entre les pavés E et H est relativement très large, car il est formé par des arêttes toutes deux fortement en retrait. Dans le sens de l'alignement, la largeur des joints varie selon la présence d'un ou deux bossages ou l'absence de bossage. Dans le sens transversal à l'alignement il est pratiquement impossible qu'il apparaisse un alignement non naturel des joints, compte tenu du choix aléatoire des longueurs des pavés. La figure 10 représente un pavage en courbe. Le rayon de courbure est relativement élevé, supérieur ou égal à 120 cm. La courbure est essentiellement obtenue aux moyens des bossages 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 utilisés comme point de pivotement d'un pavé l'un sur l'autre. Grâce à ses angles arrondis, le soubassement ne s'oppose pas à ce pivotement. On constate qu'à l'exception du pavé K, qui est légèrement trapézoïdal, tous les autres pavés sont approximativement rectangulaires.Figure 9 shows part of an example of tiling in line. The represented part includes ten different blocks A to J. These pavers are taken from a batch of more or less mixed pavers from the factory. Depending on the degree of mixing, the worker can either take a chance or choose successively pavers of different dimensions and characteristics. In the case shown, the blocks A, E, H. and J have upper edges of variable length having a substantially different shrinkage on each side relative to the base, while the blocks C, D, F and I have upper edges of variable length with little retreat relative to the base. Pavers A, C, E, F, H and J have a spacer boss, while the other pavers do not have a boss. In addition, blocks B and G are slightly trapezoidal in shape. It can be seen that the joints separating two pavers are of irregular width. Thus, the joint between block A and blocks D and E is of average width because it. is formed on one side by a strongly indented edge and on the other by slightly indented edges. On the other hand, the joint between the blocks E and H is relatively very wide, because it is formed by edges both of which are strongly set back. In the direction of alignment, the width of the joints varies according to the presence of one or two bosses or the absence of boss. In the transverse direction to the alignment it is practically impossible that there appears an unnatural alignment of the joints, taking into account the random choice of the lengths of the blocks. Figure 10 shows a curved tiling. The radius of curvature is relatively large, greater than or equal to 120 cm. The curvature is essentially obtained by means of the bosses 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 used as the pivot point of a block one on the other. Thanks to its rounded angles, the base is not opposed to this pivoting. It can be seen that with the exception of block K, which is slightly trapezoidal, all the other blocks are approximately rectangular.

Pour réaliser un pavage en courbe de rayon inférieur à 120 cm, on utilise des pavés trapézoïdaux tels que représentés à la figure 7. Un tel pavage est représenté à la figure 11. L'arc extérieur comprend deux pavés rectangulaires L et M entre lesquels est disposé un pavé trapézoidal N, et un pavé 0 étroit et fortement trapézoïdal issu de la division d'un pavé rectangulaire avec amorce de rupture selon la figure 8. L'arc intermédiaire est constitué de pavés trapézoïdaux tels que P, 0 et R et d'un pavé S étroit et fortement trapézoïdal issu de la division d'un pavé avec amorce de rupture. Quant à l'arc intérieur de petit rayon il comprend davantage de pavés étroits, fortement trapézoïdaux, issus de la division d'un pavé rectangulaire, tels que les pavés T et U et de un ou deux pavés trapézoidaux tel que le pavé V. L'utilisation de pavés trapézoïdaux issus de la division d'un pavé rectangulaire tel que représenté à la figure 8, permet de réaliser des courbes de rayons allant, vers le bas, jusqu'à 25 cm environ.To produce paving in a curve with a radius of less than 120 cm, trapezoidal paving stones are used as shown in FIG. 7. Such paving is shown in FIG. 11. The outer arch comprises two rectangular pavers L and M between which is arranged a trapezoidal block N, and a narrow and strongly trapezoidal block 0 resulting from the division of a rectangular block with breaking point according to FIG. 8. The intermediate arc consists of trapezoidal blocks such as P, 0 and R and d '' a narrow and strongly trapezoidal paver S resulting from the division of a paver with a breaking point. As for the small radius interior arc, it includes more narrow, strongly trapezoidal paving stones, resulting from the division of a rectangular paving stone, such as paving stones T and U and from one or two trapezoidal paving stones such as paving stone V. L 'use of trapezoidal blocks from the division of a rectangular block as shown in Figure 8, allows for radius curves going, down, up to about 25 cm.
