Description

L'invention concerne un embout pour extrémité de lattes équipant un cadre de sommier à lattes, une banquette ou similaire et comportant notamment des profilés présentant des orifices de fixation pour ces lattes, l'embout présentant un corps creux rectangulaire avec une cavité destiné à s'adapter sur ladite extrémité d'une latte. Dans le texte qui suit le terme "profilés" s'applique à des profilés métalliques ou autres.The invention relates to a tip for the end of slats fitted to a slatted frame frame, a bench seat or the like and comprising in particular profiles having orifices of fixing for these slats, the end piece having a hollow body rectangular with a cavity intended to fit on said end a latte. In the text which follows the term "profiles" applies to metallic or other profiles.

On connaít divers types d'embouts pour extrémités de lattes appartenant notamment à un sommier à lattes ou une banquette. De tels embouts sont également utilisés pour équiper les lattes d'une banquette ou similaire. Ces embouts sont généralement associés à des pièces intermédiaires de fixation. Un exemple d'association entre ces éléments de fixation indispensables est décrit dans la demande européenne 95870027.0 (EP-A-0 734 667) au nom de la demanderesse.We know various types of end caps slats belonging in particular to a slatted base or a bench. Such tips are also used to equip the slats of a bench seat or the like. These tips are generally associated with intermediate fixing parts. An example of association between these essential fastening elements is described in European application 95870027.0 (EP-A-0 734 667) in the name of the applicant.

FR-A-2 024 971 décrit une pièce d'encadrement de lit comportant deux pièces latérales sur lesquelles sont disposés des supports en un matériau élastique présentant des évidements destinés à recevoir les extrémités de traverses élastiques, le support dépassant au-delà du bord intérieur d'une pièce latérale d'encadrement métallique, étroit et s'applique par une patte orientée vers le bas contre la face intérieure de la pièce latérale d'encadrement, des équerres de renforcement étant prévues entre la région faisant saillie du support et la patte orientée vers le bas.FR-A-2 024 971 describes a bed frame piece comprising two side pieces on which are arranged supports made of an elastic material having recesses intended for receive the ends of elastic sleepers, the support protruding beyond the inner edge of a side piece of metal frame, narrow and applied by a tab pointing downwards against the face inside of the side frame piece, angle brackets reinforcement being provided between the projecting region of the support and the leg facing down.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un embout pour extrémités de lattes qui permet un montage plus rapide des lattes et une fixation améliorée de celles-ci sur des profilés creux tant de section carrée ou rectangulaire que circulaire.The object of the present invention is to provide a end piece for slat ends which allows faster mounting of slats and improved fixing thereof on hollow profiles so many square or rectangular section than circular.

En particulier, l'invention a pour but de permettre le montage des lattes en question dans un plan inférieur sans qu'il soit nécessaire de faire usage d'un embout interne qui se monte horizontalement dans le profilé. La disposition des lattes dans un plan inférieur par rapport au plan dans lequel s'étendent les profilés du cadre ou chassís est très recherchée pour des raisons de compactage plus important de l'ensemble.In particular, the invention aims to allow the mounting the slats in question in a lower plane without being necessary to make use of an internal nozzle which is assembled horizontally in the profile. The arrangement of the slats in a plane lower than the plane in which the frame profiles extend or chassís is much sought after for reasons of compaction more important of the whole.

Pour réaliser cet objectif conformément à l'invention, la cavité de l'embout s'étend à un niveau inférieur du cadre, ledit corps creux présentant à sa partie supérieure, celle-ci étant considérée en position d'utilisation, un prolongement pour recevoir un ou plusieurs tétons destinés à être enfoncés dans des orifices correspondants prévus dans les profilés précités.To achieve this goal in accordance with the invention, the cavity of the endpiece extends to a lower level of the frame, said hollow body having at its upper part, the latter being considered in position of use, an extension to receive one or several nipples intended to be inserted into orifices correspondents provided for in the aforementioned profiles.

Une particularité de l'invention réside dans le fait que le corps creux rectangulaire précité présente un fond, s'étendant du côté des tétons précités, qui est prolongé par un rebord en saillie pour former une surface de contact maximale avec lesdits profilés.A feature of the invention lies in the fact that the abovementioned rectangular hollow body has a bottom extending from side of the aforesaid nipples, which is extended by a projecting rim to form a surface of maximum contact with said profiles.

D'autres détails et particularités de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un embout pour extrémité de lattes équipant un sommier à lattes, une banquette ou similaire, selon l'invention. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple non limitatif en se référant aux figures ci-jointes.Other details and features of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a nozzle for end of slats fitted to a slatted base, a bench seat or similar, according to the invention. This description is given only for non-limiting example with reference to the attached figures.

La figure 1 représente selon une vue en perspective deux extrémités de lattes munies d'un embout et un profilé de section carrée appartenant à un sommier à lattes.Figure 1 shows in a view in perspective two ends of slats provided with a nozzle and a profile of square section belonging to a slatted base.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe d'une latte munie d'un embout selon l'invention et montée sur un profilé de section carrée.Figure 2 is a sectional view of a slat provided a nozzle according to the invention and mounted on a profile of square section.

La figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'une latte munie d'un embout selon l'invention et montée sur un profilé de section circulaire.Figure 3 is a sectional view of a slat provided a nozzle according to the invention and mounted on a section profile circular.

La figure 4 est, à une échelle différente, une vue en plan de l'embout selon l'invention. Figure 4 is, on a different scale, a view in plan of the nozzle according to the invention.

La figure 5 est une vue latérale de l'embout selon la figure 4.Figure 5 is a side view of the nozzle according to FIG. 4.

L'embout représenté aux diverses figures est constitué d'un corps creux rectangulaire 1 dont la largeur et la hauteur de la cavité interne correspond très exactement à la largeur et l'épaisseur d'une latte 2 qui doit être fixée sur un profilé 3 de section carrée ou 4 de section circulaire.The tip shown in the various figures consists of a rectangular hollow body 1 whose width and height of the internal cavity exactly matches the width and thickness a slat 2 which must be fixed on a profile 3 of square section or 4 of circular section.

La face 5 de l'embout qui, en position d'utilisation, doit être considérée comme la face supérieure, présente un prolongement 5' duquel deux tétons 6 font saillie. Ces tétons présentent un profil conventionnel du type déjà représenté dans la demande européenne citée dans le préambule et sont destinés à s'introduire dans les orifices 7 prévus dans les profilés appartenant au sommier. Ces profilés peuvent être de section carrée (figure 2) ou de section circulaire (figure 3).The face 5 of the endpiece which, in position of use, should be considered the face upper, has a 5 'extension of which two nipples 6 protrude. These nipples have a profile conventional of the type already represented in the application cited in the preamble and are intended to enter the holes 7 provided in the profiles belonging to the box spring. These profiles can be of square section (Figure 2) or of section circular (Figure 3).

Pour réaliser un montage aussi intime que possible de l'embout sur l'extrémité d'une latte, le fond 8 de l'embout, c'est-à-dire la face du corps creux qui est la plus proche des tétons 6 est prolongé par un rebord en saillie 9 qui, lorsque l'embout est fixé sur un profilé, vient en contact avec le profilé lui-même. Cette situation et les avantages qui en résultent sont bien visibles aux figures 2 et 3. A la figure 2 le rebord en saillie 9 est sur toute sa hauteur en contact avec une face du profilé 2, tandis qu'à la figure 3, le rebord en saillie 9 prend appui en un point sur la surface circulaire du profilé 3. Pour que le rebord en saillie 9 offre une surface de contact indéformable, des arêtes de raidissement 10 s'étendent sur toute la longueur de l'embout.To make such an intimate montage as possible from the tip on the end of a slat, the bottom 8 of the tip, that is to say the face of the body hollow which is closest to nipples 6 is extended by a projecting rim 9 which, when the end piece is fixed on a profile, comes into contact with the profile himself. This situation and the advantages result are clearly visible in Figures 2 and 3. At the Figure 2 the protruding rim 9 is on its entire height in contact with one face of the profile 2, while that in Figure 3, the projecting rim 9 is supported a point on the circular surface of profile 3. To that the protruding edge 9 provides a contact surface non-deformable, stiffening edges 10 extend over the entire length of the nozzle.

Les embouts selon la présente demande permettent un montage accéléré des lattes sur les profilés formant le cadre d'un sommier mais assurent une fixation correcte des lattes sur ces profilés.End caps according to this request allow accelerated mounting of the slats on the profiles forming the frame of a box spring but ensuring correct fixing of the slats on these profiles.
