Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des dispositifs de protection, comprenant un mât et un panneau de protection pivotant par rapport au mât.The field of the invention is that of protective devices, comprising a mast and a protective panel pivoting relative to the mast.

L'invention concerne notamment un dispositif pare-soleil ou permettant la protection contre d'autres conditions climatiques, et peut être utilisée sur une terrasse, dans un jardin, sur la plage, au bord d'une piscine et dans des environnements semblables.The invention particularly relates to a sunshade device or for protection against other climatic conditions, and can be used on a terrace, in a garden, on the beach, at the edge of a swimming pool and in similar environments.

Le mécanisme permettant la rotation du panneau par rapport au mât n'est toutefois pas très robuste, ce qui empêche de prévoir pour ce dispositif de protection un panneau de grandes dimensions.The mechanism for rotating the panel relative to the mast is however not very robust, which prevents to provide for this protective device a large panel.

On connaît également du document FR 2 504 368 un dispositif de protection comprenant une toile tendue sur une armature, le montant de l'armature étant déporté pour pouvoir associer entre eux plusieurs dispositifs pour augmenter la surface de protection sans la gêner par la présence d'un mât.Document is also known FR 2,504,368 a protection device comprising a fabric stretched over an armature, the amount of the armature being offset to be able to associate several devices to increase the protection surface without hindering it by the presence of a mast.

Ce dispositif présente une structure plus lourde et plus rigide pour augmenter la surface de protection offerte par le dispositif individuel.This device has a heavier and more rigid structure to increase the protection surface offered by the individual device.

La structure du dispositif proposé est donc plus compliquée à manipuler, et donc peu modulaire, en dépit des applications recherchées.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'AU MOINS UN MODE DE REALISATIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AT LEAST ONE EMBODIMENT

En référence à la figure 1a, on a représenté un dispositif de protection 1, dont l'utilisation permet notamment de se protéger du soleil.With reference to the figure 1a , there is shown a protection device 1, the use of which allows in particular to protect the sun.

Le dispositif de protection 1 comporte un mât 10, qui s'étend selon une direction principale, généralement verticale lorsque le dispositif de protection 1 est dans une position d'utilisation.The protection device 1 comprises a mast 10, which extends in a main direction, generally vertical when the protective device 1 is in a position of use.

Le dispositif de protection 1 comporte en outre un panneau 20 de protection, qui est monté rotatif par rapport au mât 10, autour d'un axe X-X orthogonal à la direction du mât.The protective device 1 further comprises a protective panel 20, which is rotatably mounted relative to the mast 10, about an axis X-X orthogonal to the direction of the mast.

Le mât peut comprendre selon un mode de réalisation préféré une tige formée de deux portions de tube 11, 12, adaptées pour coulisser l'une à l'intérieur de l'autre, et un système 13 d'arrêt en translation d'une portion 12 par rapport à l'autre. Ainsi la tige est télescopique, elle peut être déployée en utilisation, et la portion 12 peut être insérée dans la portion 11 pour diminuer l'encombrement du mât lors de son rangement.The mast may comprise, according to a preferred embodiment, a rod formed of two tube portions 11, 12, adapted to slide one inside the other, and a locking system 13 in translation of a portion. 12 compared to each other. Thus the rod is telescopic, it can be deployed in use, and the portion 12 can be inserted into the portion 11 to reduce the size of the mast during storage.

Le panneau présente au moins deux côtés rectilignes adjacents formant un sommet par lequel il est fixé au mât 10. Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le panneau présente une forme polygonale, avantageusement carrée ou rectangulaire. Alternativement, le panneau comporte au moins deux côtés rectilignes adjacents, et un côté curviligne reliant entre eux les côtés rectilignes. Le panneau est alors fixé au mât au niveau du sommet formé par les deux côtés rectilignes adjacents.The panel has at least two adjacent rectilinear sides forming a vertex through which it is fixed to the mast 10. According to a first embodiment, the panel has a polygonal shape, preferably square or rectangular. Alternatively, the panel has at least two adjacent rectilinear sides, and a curvilinear side interconnecting the rectilinear sides. The panel is then attached to the mast at the top formed by the two adjacent straight sides.

De cette façon le mât 10 est déporté par rapport au panneau et maximise la surface protégée sous le panneau lorsque celui-ci est déployé, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'il s'étend orthogonalement au mât ou encore horizontalement en position d'utilisation du dispositif de protection 1.In this way the mast 10 is offset relative to the panel and maximizes the protected area under the panel when it is deployed, that is to say when it extends orthogonally to the mast or horizontally in the position of use of the protection device 1.

Très avantageusement, le panneau 20 est symétrique par rapport à un plan bissecteur passant par le sommet par lequel il est lié au mât ; c'est le cas par exemple d'un carré, d'un losange, ou d'un quart de cercle. On a représenté sur la figure 1b un tel plan B pour un panneau carré.Very advantageously, the panel 20 is symmetrical with respect to a bisecting plane passing through the apex through which it is connected to the mast; this is the case for example of a square, a diamond, or a quarter circle. We have shown on the figure 1b such a plan B for a square panel.

Sur la figure 1b et la figure 2, le mât 10 comprend en outre une mâchoire 14, montée à l'extrémité de la tige, par exemple à l'extrémité de la portion 12, et de préférence fixée à celle-ci par boulonnage ou vissage. La mâchoire 14 est ainsi de préférence solidaire du mât.On the figure 1b and the figure 2 , the mast 10 further comprises a jaw 14, mounted at the end of the rod, for example at the end of the portion 12, and preferably fixed thereto by bolting or screwing. The jaw 14 is thus preferably secured to the mast.

La mâchoire 14 comporte un logement cylindrique 15, s'étendant selon une direction orthogonale X-X à la direction du mât 10.The jaw 14 comprises a cylindrical housing 15, extending in an orthogonal direction X-X to the direction of the mast 10.

Le logement 15 est adapté pour recevoir un arbre cylindrique 16 d'un élément de support de cadre 3 décrit ci-après. L'arbre cylindrique 16 est monté rotatif dans le logement 15 par rapport à l'axe du logement, qui correspond à l'axe de l'arbre lorsque celui-ci est inséré dans le logement.The housing 15 is adapted to receive a cylindrical shaft 16 of a frame support member 3 described hereinafter. The cylindrical shaft 16 is rotatably mounted in the housing 15 relative to the axis of the housing, which corresponds to the axis of the shaft when it is inserted into the housing.

De plus, afin de bloquer l'arbre cylindrique 16 en rotation dans le logement 15 selon au moins une, et de préférence une pluralité de positions différentes, l'arbre cylindrique 16 comprend une pluralité de cannelures 160, et la mâchoire 14 comprend une fente (non représentée) de forme correspondante. Le dispositif 1 comporte en outre une clavette 17 adaptée pour être reçue dans une cannelure au travers de la fente de la mâchoire, pour bloquer en rotation l'arbre 16 dans le logement 15.In addition, in order to lock the cylindrical shaft 16 in rotation in the housing 15 in at least one, and preferably a plurality of different positions, the cylindrical shaft 16 comprises a plurality of flutes 160, and the jaw 14 comprises a slot (not shown) of corresponding form. The device 1 further comprises a key 17 adapted to be received in a groove through the slot of the jaw, to lock in rotation the shaft 16 in the housing 15.

Ainsi, on peut modifier la position angulaire de l'arbre 16 par rapport au logement 15 en desserrant la clavette 17, et en pivotant l'arbre 16 dans le logement 15.Thus, it is possible to modify the angular position of the shaft 16 relative to the housing 15 by loosening the key 17, and by pivoting the shaft 16 in the housing 15.

Pour garantir la robustesse des pièces mécaniques sollicitées comme l'arbre 16 et la clavette 17, celles-ci sont avantageusement réalisées en acier inoxydable.To ensure the robustness of the mechanical parts stressed such as the shaft 16 and the key 17, they are advantageously made of stainless steel.

La partie fixe de la mâchoire par rapport au mât 10, dans laquelle est réalisé l'évidement cylindrique 15 formant logement, peut quant à elle être réalisée en aluminium.The fixed part of the jaw with respect to the mast 10, in which is formed the cylindrical recess 15 forming a housing, can in turn be made of aluminum.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté en figure 2, le logement 15 est décalé latéralement par rapport au mât. Alternativement, le logement 15 peut se trouver dans le prolongement de mât suivant la direction d'extension du mât.According to the embodiment shown in figure 2 , the housing 15 is offset laterally relative to the mast. Alternatively, the housing 15 may be in the extension of mast in the direction of extension of the mast.

En référence à la figure 3, le panneau de protection 20 comporte un élément de support de cadre 3. Cet élément de support de cadre comprend l'arbre 16 et deux pattes 30 s'étendant parallèlement, les pattes étant fixées à l'arbre 16 de part et d'autre de celui-ci, par exemple par vissage ou boulonnage. L'arbre 16 assure donc, par sa rotation dans le logement 15, la liaison rotative entre le mât 10 et le panneau 20.With reference to the figure 3 , the protection panel 20 comprises a frame support member 3. This frame support member comprises the shaft 16 and two tabs 30 extending in parallel, the tabs being fixed to the shaft 16 on both sides of it, for example by screwing or bolting. The shaft 16 thus ensures, by its rotation in the housing 15, the rotary connection between the mast 10 and the panel 20.

Un disque de support 31 est monté sur les pattes 30. Il comprend à cet égard deux fentes 311 dans lesquelles sont soudées les pattes.A support disc 31 is mounted on the tabs 30. It comprises in this respect two slots 311 in which the tabs are welded.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté en figure 3, le disque de support 31 est décalé latéralement par rapport à l'arbre 16, les pattes 30 s'étendant dans une direction orthogonale à l'axe de l'arbre 16 et orthogonale à l'axe du mât 10. Selon un mode de réalisation alternatif, le disque de support est situé au droit de l'arbre 16 lorsqu'il est fixé sur celui-ci, les pattes s'étendant alors selon une direction orthogonale à l'axe de l'arbre 16 et parallèle à l'axe du mât. Dans ce cas, si l'arbre 16 se trouve dans le prolongement du mât, le disque de support est également dans ce prolongement.According to a first embodiment represented in figure 3 , the support disk 31 is offset laterally with respect to the shaft 16, the tabs 30 extending in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 16 and orthogonal to the axis of the mast 10. According to an alternative embodiment, the support disk is located right of the shaft 16 when it is fixed on the the tabs then extending in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 16 and parallel to the axis of the mast. In this case, if the shaft 16 is in the extension of the mast, the support disk is also in this extension.

Sur le disque 31 est réalisé un sillon traversant 310 en arc de cercle, qui sera décrit plus en détails ci-après.On the disk 31 is formed a through groove 310 arcuate, which will be described in more detail below.

Sur les figures 1a et 1b, le panneau de protection 20 comporte en outre un cadre 4, définissant un plan du panneau de protection 20. Sur le cadre est fixée une surface de protection 5, qui peut être une surface rigide telle qu'une plaque légère, par exemple en matériaux composites, ou une toile, la toile étant alors de préférence tendue sur le cadre.On the figures 1a and 1b , the protection panel 20 further comprises a frame 4, defining a plane of the protection panel 20. On the frame is fixed a protective surface 5, which may be a rigid surface such as a light plate, for example of materials composites, or a canvas, the fabric then being preferably stretched on the frame.

La toile 5 peut alors être réalisée en un matériau tissé, de type textile végétal ou synthétique, de préférence élastique afin d'être tendue sur le cadre. Dans tous les cas, la surface de protection 5 est avantageusement imperméable, pour conférer au dispositif de protection une fonction d'abri contre la pluie.The fabric 5 can then be made of a woven material, of vegetable or synthetic textile type, preferably elastic to be stretched on the frame. In all cases, the protective surface 5 is advantageously impermeable, to give the protection device a rain shelter function.

En référence à la figure 4a, on a représenté plus en détails un mode de réalisation de la structure du cadre 4. Celui-ci comporte trois tiges, dont une tige centrale 40, et deux tiges latérales 41. Les trois tiges sont réunies en une extrémité par une poignée 42, qui est une structure métallique comportant un orifice de préhension permettant de manipuler et transporter le cadre avec simplicité.With reference to the figure 4a , there is shown in more detail an embodiment of the structure of the frame 4. This comprises three rods, including a central rod 40, and two lateral rods 41. The three rods are joined at one end by a handle 42, which is a metal structure having a gripping port for handling and transporting the frame with simplicity.

La poignée 42 présente une forme généralement triangulaire, dont deux sommets comportent une liaison avec les tiges latérales 41, et la liaison avec la tige centrale 40 se trouvant approximativement à mi-longueur du côté s'étendant entre les sommets.The handle 42 has a generally triangular shape, two vertices of which have a connection with the lateral rods 41, and the connection with the central rod 40 being approximately mid-length of the side extending between the vertices.

La tige centrale 40 comprend un fourreau 43 fixé à la poignée 42 ou venu de matière avec elle, et une ou plusieurs baguettes 44 télescopiques dans le fourreau 43.The central rod 40 comprises a sleeve 43 attached to the handle 42 or integral with it, and one or more telescopic rods 44 in the sleeve 43.

Les tiges latérales sont montées pivotantes par rapport à la poignée 42, par rapport à un axe orthogonal au plan de cadre (qui correspond au plan dans lequel est inscrite la poignée 42). Ainsi, les tiges latérales 41 peuvent se rabattre contre la tige centrale 40 pour replier le cadre en une position commode de transport.The lateral rods are pivotally mounted relative to the handle 42, with respect to an axis orthogonal to the frame plane (which corresponds to the plane in which the handle 42 is inscribed). Thus, the lateral rods 41 can be folded against the central rod 40 to fold the frame in a convenient transport position.

Le cadre 4 est avantageusement une pièce symétrique par rapport un plan bissecteur passant par le sommet reliant le cadre au mât, les tiges latérales 41 étant donc de même longueur, et pouvant être déployées d'un même angle par rapport à la tige centrale 40. Alternativement, les tiges latérales 41 sont fixes par rapport à la tige centrale 40.The frame 4 is advantageously a symmetrical part with respect to a bisecting plane passing through the vertex connecting the frame to the mast, the lateral rods 41 therefore being of the same length, and being able to be deployed at the same angle with respect to the central rod 40. Alternatively, the lateral rods 41 are fixed relative to the central rod 40.

Selon un mode de réalisation alternatif, le cadre 4 peut être une armature fermée, de préférence polygonale, et avantageusement tubulaire, supportant la surface de protection 5, qui est avantageusement rigide mais peut alternativement être souple et tendue sur le cadre.According to an alternative embodiment, the frame 4 may be a closed frame, preferably polygonal, and preferably tubular, supporting the protective surface 5, which is preferably rigid but may alternatively be flexible and stretched on the frame.

Ainsi, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, le cadre 4 peut être carré et comprendre quatre tiges latérales 41 tubulaires et de longueurs identiques et quatre coins 44 comprenant chacun deux orifices adaptés pour recevoir les extrémités de deux tiges. Les coins peuvent former des angles droits nets ou arrondis comme sur la figure. Des moyens de solidarisation des tiges dans les coins peuvent être prévus (par exemple par vissage ou autres).Thus, by way of non-limiting example, the frame 4 may be square and comprise four tubular lateral rods 41 of identical lengths and four corners 44 each comprising two orifices adapted to receive the ends of two rods. Corners can form sharp or rounded right angles as in the figure. Means for securing the rods in the corners may be provided (for example by screwing or other).

Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'un des coins peut former une poignée 42. A cet égard le coin 44 correspondant à la poignée est avantageusement arrondi. Alternativement, une poignée 42 peut être formée par au moins une bande de matière rapportée entre deux tiges latérales adjacentes, comme sur la figure 4b.According to this embodiment, one of the corners may form a handle 42. In this respect the corner 44 corresponding to the handle is advantageously rounded. Alternatively, a handle 42 may be formed by at least one strip of material attached between two adjacent lateral rods, as on the figure 4b .

Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, représenté sur les figures 4c à 4e, le cadre peut comprendre une tige principale 45 raccordée en une extrémité au mat par l'intermédiaire d'une armature d'accouplement 6 décrite ci-après. L'extrémité opposée de la tige principale 45 est reliée à une pluralité de tiges secondaires 46.According to yet another embodiment, shown in Figures 4c to 4e , the frame may comprise a main rod 45 connected at one end to the mat via a coupling frame 6 described below. The opposite end of the main rod 45 is connected to a plurality of secondary rods 46.

Les tiges secondaires 46 sont montées pivotantes par rapport à la tige principale pour permettre leur repliement le long de celle-ci, ou leur déploiement pour fixer ou tendre la surface de protection du panneau de protection. La rotation est donc faite dans le plan de la tige principale, selon un ou plusieurs axes orthogonaux audit plan.The secondary rods 46 are pivotally mounted relative to the main rod to allow their folding along it, or their deployment to fix or stretch the protective surface of the protective panel. The rotation is thus made in the plane of the main stem, along one or more axes orthogonal to said plane.

La disposition des tiges secondaires 46 peut faire l'objet de plusieurs modes de réalisation. Sur les figures 4c et 4d, les tiges sont montées en éventail autour d'un axe commun 49.The arrangement of the secondary rods 46 may be the subject of several embodiments. On the Figures 4c and 4d , the rods are fan-mounted about a common axis 49.

Sur la figure 4e, les tiges secondaires 46 sont montées autour d'axes séparés 49' permettant de se déployer, dans le plan de la tige principale 45, dans toutes les directions autour de celle-ci.On the figure 4e the secondary rods 46 are mounted around separate axes 49 'for deployment in the plane of the main rod 45 in all directions around it.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, le cadre 4 comprend avantageusement deux platines 47 fixées à l'extrémité de la tige principale de manière à ce que celle-ci soit disposée entre les deux platines et qu'il subsiste un espace entre ces platines. Dans l'espace restant, une pluralité de fourreaux 48 sont montés rotatifs autour d'axes respectifs s'étendant entre les deux platines.According to this embodiment, the frame 4 advantageously comprises two plates 47 attached to the end of the main stem so that it is disposed between the two plates and there is a gap between these plates. In the remaining space, a plurality of sleeves 48 are rotatably mounted about respective axes extending between the two plates.

Chaque tige secondaire 46 est insérée dans un fourreau 48 correspondant pour obtenir le montage rotatif. De plus, les fourreaux 48 dont les axes sont adjacents aux grands côtés de la tige principale sont avantageusement adaptés pour permettre l'insertion d'une tige de sorte que l'axe de la tige et l'axe du fourreau soient confondus. Ainsi les tiges secondaires 46 correspondantes, dites premières tiges secondaires, peuvent se rabattre directement le long des grands cotés.Each secondary rod 46 is inserted into a corresponding sleeve 48 to obtain the rotary assembly. In addition, the sleeves 48 whose axes are adjacent to the long sides of the main stem are advantageously adapted to allow the insertion of a rod so that the axis of the rod and the axis of the sleeve are combined. Thus the corresponding secondary rods 46, said first secondary rods, can be folded directly along the long sides.

Les fourreaux dont les axes sont adjacents au plus petit côté de la tige principale sont adaptés pour recevoir les tiges secondaires 46' correspondantes, dites deuxièmes tiges secondaires, en formant un angle de 90°. De cette façon, les deuxièmes tiges secondaires peuvent être rabattues sur les premières.The sleeves whose axes are adjacent to the smaller side of the main rod are adapted to receive the corresponding secondary rods 46 ', said second secondary rods, forming an angle of 90 °. In this way, the second secondary rods can be folded on the first.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la fixation de la surface de protection 5 sur le cadre peut être réalisée par exemple par encliquetage, si la surface comprend une plaque rigide.According to a preferred embodiment, the attachment of the protective surface 5 to the frame can be made for example by snapping, if the surface comprises a rigid plate.

Alternativement, dans le cas où la surface de protection 5 est une toile 5 souple, sa fixation sur le cadre peut être réalisée en aménageant dans la toile 5 des fourreaux 50adaptés pour recevoir des tiges du cadre.Alternatively, in the case where the protective surface 5 is a flexible fabric 5, its attachment to the frame can be achieved by arranging in the fabric 5 sleeves 50 adapted to receive rods of the frame.

Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1a, les fourreaux se trouvent sur deux cotés adjacents pour recevoir les tiges latérales quand celles-ci sont déployées au maximum par rapport à la tige centrale 40. De préférence, dans le cas où le cadre est conforme à la figure 4a, le déploiement maximal des deux tiges latérales confère au cadre 4 une ouverture angulaire correspondant à l'angle entre les deux cotés adjacents formant le sommet par lequel le panneau est lié au mât.So, in the embodiment of the figure 1a , the sleeves are on two adjacent sides to receive the lateral rods when they are deployed at most with respect to the central rod 40. Preferably, in the case where the frame complies with the figure 4a , the maximum deployment of the two lateral rods gives the frame 4 an angular opening corresponding to the angle between the two adjacent sides forming the vertex through which the panel is connected to the mast.

Dans le mode réalisation préféré dans lequel le panneau 20 est carré ou rectangulaire, le déploiement maximal des tiges correspond à un angle de 45° entre chaque tige latérale et la tige centrale, et donc un angle de 90° entre les deux tiges latérales, correspondant à l'angle droit entre deux cotés successifs de la surface de protection.In the preferred embodiment in which the panel 20 is square or rectangular, the maximum deployment of the rods corresponds to a 45 ° angle between each lateral rod and the central rod, and therefore a 90 ° angle between the two rods. lateral, corresponding to the right angle between two successive sides of the protective surface.

Ainsi les tiges latérales 41 s'étendent le long des deux côtés successifs de la surface de protection, et la tige centrale 40 s'étend le long d'une diagonale de la surface.Thus, the lateral rods 41 extend along the two successive sides of the protective surface, and the central rod 40 extends along a diagonal of the surface.

Alternativement, dans le cas où la surface de protection 5 est rigide, l'ouverture angulaire correspondant à au déploiement maximal des deux tiges latérales 41 peut être inférieure à l'angle entre les côtés du panneau formant le sommet. Dans ce cas, la surface 5 est tout de même avantageusement positionnée sur cadre 4 de manière à s'étendre symétriquement de part et d'autre de la tige centrale 40.Alternatively, in the case where the protective surface 5 is rigid, the angular aperture corresponding to the maximum deployment of the two lateral rods 41 may be less than the angle between the sides of the panel forming the top. In this case, the surface 5 is still advantageously positioned on frame 4 so as to extend symmetrically on either side of the central rod 40.

Dans le cas où le cadre est carré conformément à la figure 4b, les fourreaux 50 de la toile souple peuvent être des fourreaux pouvant s'ouvrir et se fermer, par exemple en étant pourvus de bandes de type velours-crochet. Ceci permet de positionner la toile sur le cadre 4, d'ouvrir les fourreaux pour y positionner les tiges latérales, et de les fermer autour des tiges pour enserrer les tiges et ainsi solidariser la toile aux fourreaux.In the case where the frame is square in accordance with the figure 4b the sleeves 50 of the flexible fabric may be sheaths that can open and close, for example by being provided with Velvet-hook type strips. This allows to position the canvas on the frame 4, to open the sleeves to position the lateral rods, and close around the rods to grip the rods and thus secure the canvas to the sleeves.

De plus, si la toile est souple, elle présente alors des dimensions identiques au cadre : elle est carrée et de même longueur de côté que le cadre. Si elle est rigide, elle peut être carrée ou rectangulaire, et présenter des côtés de longueur supérieure ou égale que les côtés du cadre.In addition, if the fabric is flexible, it then has dimensions identical to the frame: it is square and the same length of side as the frame. If it is rigid, it may be square or rectangular, and have sides of greater or equal length than the sides of the frame.

De préférence, le cadre est à la fois léger et résistant, pour pouvoir être transporté facilement mais toutefois résister à des contraintes telles que celles imposées par le vent. A cet égard, il est de préférence réalisé en aluminium.Preferably, the frame is both lightweight and strong, so that it can be transported easily but still withstand stresses such as those imposed by the wind. In this respect, it is preferably made of aluminum.

Dans le cas où le cadre est conforme au mode de réalisation des figures 4c à 4e, la surface de protection peut être tendue sur les tiges secondaires 46.In the case where the frame complies with the embodiment of Figures 4c to 4e , the protective surface can be stretched over the secondary rods 46.

De retour à la figure 3, le panneau de protection 20 comprend en outre une armature d'accouplement 6 entre le support de cadre 3 et le cadre 4.Back to the figure 3 , the protection panel 20 further comprises a coupling frame 6 between the frame support 3 and the frame 4.

L'armature d'accouplement 6 comprend une base 60 adaptée pour être fixée sur le disque 31 du support de cadre. Avantageusement, la base est de forme générale carrée, dont les côtés sont supérieurs au diamètre du disque 31 de l'élément de support.The coupling armature 6 comprises a base 60 adapted to be fixed to the disk 31 of the frame support. Advantageously, the base is of generally square shape, the sides of which are greater than the diameter of the disc 31 of the support element.

L'armature d'accouplement 6 comprend également des bras sur lesquels peuvent venir se fixer les tiges latérales 41 et la tige centrale 40 du cadre, lorsque les tiges latérales sont en position déployée, dans le cas de la figure 4a, ou deux tiges latérales 41 adjacentes du cadre carré de la figure 4b.The coupling armature 6 also comprises arms on which the lateral rods 41 and the central rod 40 of the frame can be fixed, when the lateral rods are in the extended position, in the case of the figure 4a , or two lateral rods 41 adjacent to the square frame of the figure 4b .

L'armature 6 comprend donc un bras central 62 et deux bras latéraux 61, réunis en une extrémité par la base 60. L'ensemble de l'armature est réalisé de préférence en aluminium.The armature 6 thus comprises a central arm 62 and two lateral arms 61, joined at one end by the base 60. The assembly of the armature is preferably made of aluminum.

L'armature 6 est avantageusement une pièce symétrique, dont les bras latéraux sont de même longueur et dont l'écartement par rapport au bras central 62 est identique.The armature 6 is advantageously a symmetrical part, whose lateral arms are of the same length and whose spacing relative to the central arm 62 is identical.

L'ouverture angulaire entre les bras latéraux 61 correspond à l'ouverture angulaire du cadre 4 et, de préférence, à l'angle entre deux cotés adjacents de la surface de protection 5. Ceci est particulièrement préférable lorsque la surface de protection 5 est une toile tendue sur le cadre 4. Alternativement, dans le cas où la surface de protection 5 est rigide, l'ouverture angulaire des bras 61 de l'armature 6 et du cadre 4 peut être inférieure à l'ouverture angulaire du sommet par lequel le panneau 20 est lié au mât 10.The angular aperture between the lateral arms 61 corresponds to the angular aperture of the frame 4 and, preferably, to the angle between two adjacent sides of the protective surface 5. This is particularly preferable when the protective surface 5 is a stretched canvas on the frame 4. Alternatively, in the case where the protective surface 5 is rigid, the angular opening of the arms 61 of the frame 6 and the frame 4 may be less than the angular aperture of the vertex by which the panel 20 is connected to the mast 10.

Ainsi l'armature 6 se trouve dans un coin ou sommet du panneau.Thus the frame 6 is in a corner or top of the panel.

Dans le mode de réalisation dans lequel la surface 5 est carrée ou rectangulaire, les bras latéraux 61, 62 forment avantageusement au niveau de leur jonction un angle droit.In the embodiment in which the surface 5 is square or rectangular, the lateral arms 61, 62 advantageously form at their junction a right angle.

Les autres extrémités des bras 61, 62 sont reliées entre elles par un arc 63 de manière à consolider l'armature.The other ends of the arms 61, 62 are interconnected by an arc 63 so as to consolidate the armature.

Avantageusement, les bras latéraux 61 comprennent chacun un dispositif d'encliquetage 610 des tiges latérales 41 du cadre 4, permettant la fixation amovible du cadre sur l'armature 6. Avantageusement, mais facultativement, le bras central 62 peut également comprendre un dispositif d'encliquetage de la tige centrale du cadre, dans le cas où celui-ci est conforme au premier mode de réalisation (Figure 4a).Advantageously, the lateral arms 61 each comprise a latching device 610 of the lateral rods 41 of the frame 4, allowing the removable attachment of the frame to the frame 6. Advantageously, but optionally, the central arm 62 may also comprise a device snap of the central stem of the frame, in the case where it conforms to the first embodiment ( Figure 4a ).

Le cadre peut de cette manière être retiré du reste du dispositif pour ranger la surface de protection 5 en cas de non utilisation du dispositif, dont l'encombrement est alors réduit. Avantageusement, le cadre 4 peut être verrouillé sur l'armature 6 après son encliquetage, par exemple grâce à une poignée de verrouillage insérée dans un orifice 620 de l'armature, l'orifice comprenant de façon connue une protubérance 622 de section réduite adaptée pour retenir la poignée une fois en position.The frame can in this way be removed from the rest of the device to store the protective surface 5 in case of non-use of the device, whose size is reduced. Advantageously, the frame 4 can be locked on the armature 6 after its snap-fastening, for example by means of a locking handle inserted in a hole 620 of the armature, the orifice comprising, in known manner, a protrusion 622 of reduced section adapted to hold the handle once in position.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 4c à 4e, la tige principale 45 du cadre 4 est montée sur l'armature d'accouplement 6, avantageusement par encliquetage. Dans ce cas, comme visible sur la figure 5, l'armature d'accouplement 6 peut présenter une ouverture angulaire plus réduite entre ses bras latéraux 61, voire être réduire à un support de la tige principale comprenant une base 60 montée sur le support de cadre 3, et un bras 62 (correspondant au bras central de la figure 3) soutenant la tige principale 45.In the embodiment of Figures 4c to 4e , the main rod 45 of the frame 4 is mounted on the coupling frame 6, advantageously by snapping. In this case, as visible on the figure 5 , the coupling armature 6 may have a smaller angular opening between its lateral arms 61, or even be reduced to a support of the main rod comprising a base 60 mounted on the frame support 3, and an arm 62 (corresponding to the central arm of the figure 3 ) supporting the main stem 45.

L'armature 6 est quant à elle montée rotative sur le support de cadre 3.The armature 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame support 3.

Par exemple, l'armature peut être montée au support par crabotage, l'armature comprenant des dents de crabot (non représentées) adaptées pour coopérer avec des fentes 312 complémentaires du support de cadre. Les dents de crabot et les fentes 312 sont d'abord alignées pour permettre d'insérer le disque de support 31 entre les dents de l'armature 6, puis les deux pièces sont pivotées l'une par rapport à l'autre, les dents de crabot comportant des rebords adaptés pour interdire une translation relative entre l'armature et le disque de support 31.For example, the armature can be mounted to the support by interconnection, the armature comprising dog teeth (not shown) adapted to cooperate with slots 312 complementary frame support. The dog teeth and the slots 312 are first aligned so as to insert the support disc 31 between the teeth of the frame 6, then the two pieces are pivoted relative to each other, the teeth dog assembly comprising flanges adapted to prohibit a relative translation between the frame and the support disc 31.

Cette liaison entre l'armature 6 et le support de cadre 3 permet donc de faire pivoter l'armature par rapport au support 3 autour d'un axe orthogonal Y-Y au plan du panneau de protection (le plan du panneau de protection correspondant au plan défini par l'armature 6).This connection between the armature 6 and the frame support 3 thus makes it possible to pivot the armature relative to the support 3 around an orthogonal axis YY to the plane of the protection panel (the plane of the protection panel corresponding to the defined plane by the frame 6).

Ceci permet, par une double rotation du dispositif de protection, comprenant une rotation du dispositif autour de son mât, et une rotation de l'armature par rapport au support de cadre, de faire adopter au dispositif de protection toutes les configurations possibles, permettant d'adapter notamment les positions relatives du panneau et du mât en fonction de la position du soleil.This allows, by a double rotation of the protection device, comprising a rotation of the device around its mast, and a rotation of the armature relative to the frame support, to make adopt the protection device all possible configurations, allowing to adapt in particular the relative positions of the panel and the mast according to the position of the sun.

En outre, la rotation relative entre le support de cadre 3 et l'armature 6 est limitée à un angle définissant deux positions extrêmes de l'armature par rapport au support 3, correspondant à deux configurations dites « gauche » et « droite » du dispositif de protection.In addition, the relative rotation between the frame support 3 and the armature 6 is limited to an angle defining two extreme positions of the armature relative to the support 3, corresponding to two configurations called "left" and "right" of the device protection.

Pour limiter la rotation relative entre l'armature et le support 3, la base 60 de l'armature comprend un orifice traversant 600 adapté pour recevoir un système de verrou à cheville 601. La cheville 601 est adaptée pour traverser l'orifice 600 et être reçue dans le sillon 310 du support 3. Le dispositif comprend en outre une poignée 602, qui peut coopérer avec la cheville 601 pour la maintenir serrée en position dans le sillon 310, ou, en desserrant la poignée, libérer la cheville pour permettre son déplacement dans le sillon 310 et permettre ainsi la rotation de l'armature 6 par rapport au support 3.To limit the relative rotation between the armature and the support 3, the base 60 of the armature comprises a through orifice 600 adapted to receive a pinlock 601 system. The pin 601 is adapted to pass through the orifice 600 and be received in the groove 310 of the support 3. The device further comprises a handle 602, which can cooperate with the pin 601 to hold it tight in position in the groove 310, or, by loosening the handle, release the pin to allow its displacement in the groove 310 and thus allow the rotation of the armature 6 relative to the support 3.

Comme indiqué précédemment, le sillon 310 est un arc de cercle. L'ouverture angulaire du sillon 310 définit l'angle de rotation relative limite entre le support de cadre 3 et l'armature 6, la cheville 601 venant en butée contre les extrémités du sillon 310.As indicated above, groove 310 is an arc of a circle. The angular aperture of the groove 310 defines the limit relative rotation angle between the frame support 3 and the armature 6, the pin 601 abutting against the ends of the groove 310.

Avantageusement, selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, l'angle d'ouverture du sillon 310 est le supplémentaire de l'ouverture angulaire de l'angle du sommet par lequel est relié le panneau au mât, entre deux cotés successifs de la surface de protection 5. Le terme « supplémentaire » est compris au sens mathématique du terme, c'est-à-dire que la somme de l'ouverture angulaire de l'armature et de celle du sillon est égale à 180°.Advantageously, according to the embodiment of the figure 3 , the opening angle of the groove 310 is the additional angle of opening of the apex angle through which the panel is connected to the mast, between two successive sides of the protective surface 5. The term "additional" is understood in the mathematical sense of the term, that is to say that the sum of the angular aperture of the armature and that of the groove is equal to 180 °.

De préférence, dans le mode de réalisation dans lequel la surface de protection est carrée ou rectangulaire, l'ouverture angulaire du sillon est de 90° et celle de l'armature est aussi de 90°.Preferably, in the embodiment in which the protective surface is square or rectangular, the angular opening of the groove is 90 ° and that of the armature is also 90 °.

Dans le mode de réalisation dans lequel la surface de protection 5 est une toile tendue sur le cadre 4, l'angle d'ouverture du sillon 310 est également le supplémentaire de l'ouverture angulaire du cadre 4 et de l'armature, puisque cette ouverture angulaire correspond à celle du panneau.In the embodiment in which the protective surface 5 is a fabric stretched over the frame 4, the opening angle of the groove 310 is also the additional of the angular opening of the frame 4 and the frame, since this angular opening corresponds to that of the panel.

Le sillon et le système de verrou à cheville permettent ainsi de limiter l'amplitude de la rotation entre l'armature 6 et le support 3 à l'ouverture angulaire du sillon.The groove and the anchor lock system thus make it possible to limit the amplitude of the rotation between the reinforcement 6 and the support 3 at the angular opening of the groove.

Les deux configurations gauche et droite ainsi définies permettent, dans le mode de réalisation très avantageux dans lequel le panneau de protection 20 est une pièce symétrique par rapport au plan bissecteur du sommet par lequel il est lié au mât, de faire adopter simplement au dispositif de protection deux dispositions symétriques l'une de l'autre. En l'occurrence, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, comme représenté schématiquement en figure 7, le dispositif de protection peut adopter des dispositions symétriques l'une de l'autre en pivotant l'armature 6 d'une configuration extrême à l'autre (de configuration gauche à droite ou l'inverse), et en pivotant le mât du dispositif de 180°.The two left and right configurations thus defined make it possible, in the very advantageous embodiment in which the protective panel 20 is a part symmetrical with respect to the bisecting plane of the apex through which it is connected to the mast, to simply have the device of protection two symmetrical arrangements of one another. In this case, in the embodiment of the figure 3 as shown schematically in figure 7 , the protective device may adopt symmetrical arrangements of one another by pivoting the armature 6 from one extreme configuration to the other (configuration left-right or vice versa), and pivoting the mast of the 180 ° device.

Selon le mode de réalisation alternatif non représenté l'arbre 16 se trouve dans le prolongement du mât, et le disque de support se trouve également dans le prolongement du mât, le sillon présente une ouverture angulaire de 180°, et les dispositions symétriques du dispositif de protection sont obtenues en changeant de configuration l'armature, et en pivotant le mât du dispositif de 90°.According to the alternative embodiment not shown the shaft 16 is in the extension of the mast, and the support disk is also in the extension of the mast, the groove has an angular opening of 180 °, and the Symmetrical arrangements of the protective device are obtained by changing the configuration of the armature, and rotating the mast of the device by 90 °.

Le choix de l'ouverture angulaire du sillon permet donc, en référence à la figure 6a, de s'affranchir de l'asymétrie du dispositif de protection qui résulterait si le panneau était monté fixe sur le mât par rapport à la direction du mât.The choice of the angular opening of the furrow therefore makes it possible, with reference to the figure 6a , to overcome the asymmetry of the protection device that would result if the panel was fixedly mounted on the mast relative to the direction of the mast.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 4c à 4e, une autre configuration avantageuse est une configuration de rangement dans lequel l'armature d'accouplement 6 forme un angle nul avec l'élément de support du cadre, et est rabattue contre le mât, les tiges secondaires étant également rabattues contre la tige principale. Dans une application préférée du dispositif de protection 1 représentée en figure 6a, on utilise un ensemble comprenant deux dispositifs de protection identiques 1, 1', comprenant chacun un panneau 20, 20' carré, les mâts étant montés parallèles entre eux sur un support commun 7. Il est alors avantageux que les deux dispositifs de protection 1 soient respectivement dans les deux configurations symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport à un plan de symétrie P s'étendant entre les mâts, afin de maximiser la surface de protection et de diminuer la gêne engendrée par les mâts.In the embodiment of Figures 4c to 4e , another advantageous configuration is a storage configuration in which the coupling armature 6 forms a zero angle with the support element of the frame, and is folded against the mast, the secondary rods are also folded against the main rod. In a preferred application of the protection device 1 shown in FIG. figure 6a , an assembly comprising two identical protection devices 1, 1 ', each comprising a panel 20, 20' square, the masts being mounted parallel to each other on a common support 7. It is then advantageous that the two protective devices 1 respectively in the two symmetrical configurations of the other relative to a plane of symmetry P extending between the masts, to maximize the protective surface and to reduce the annoyance generated by the masts.

Sur la figure 6a, les mâts sont disposés entre les panneaux 20, 20' des dispositifs (pour plus de visibilité les panneaux ont été représentés sans les surfaces de protection). La symétrie est permise par le pivotement, pour l'un des dispositifs, de l'armature 6 par rapport au support de l'amplitude maximale autorisée par le sillon 310 du support, et le pivotement du mât de 180°.On the figure 6a the masts are arranged between the panels 20, 20 'of the devices (for more visibility the panels have been represented without the protective surfaces). The symmetry is allowed by the pivoting, for one of the devices, the armature 6 relative to the support of the maximum amplitude allowed by the groove 310 of the support, and the pivoting of the mast by 180 °.

Dans cette position, l'une des armatures 6, 6' se trouve donc dans une première position extrême, gauche ou droite, autorisée par le sillon 310, 310' par rapport au support 3, 3', et l'autre armature se trouve dans la seconde position extrême, droite ou gauche, autorisée par le sillon par rapport au support.In this position, one of the armatures 6, 6 'is therefore in a first extreme position, left or right, authorized by the groove 310, 310' relative to the support 3, 3 ', and the other armature is in the second extreme position, right or left, allowed by the groove relative to the support.

Le support commun 7 peut être une paroi verticale telle qu'un mur, comme sur la figure 6a, ou un mât commun comme sur la figure 6b, pourvu d'un système de fixation 70 des deux mats 10, 10' des dispositifs 1,1' représenté en figure 6c, le système de fixation 70 comprenant une base métallique 71 pourvue de renfoncements 72 adaptés pour recevoir chaque mât, et des arceaux métalliques 73 permettant de maintenir les mâts en appui contre la base 71.The common support 7 may be a vertical wall such as a wall, as on the figure 6a , or a common mast as on the figure 6b provided with a fastening system 70 of the two mats 10, 10 'of the devices 1,1' shown in FIG. Figure 6c , the fixing system 70 comprising a metal base 71 provided with recesses 72 adapted to receive each mast, and metal hoops 73 for holding the poles against the base 71.

Alternativement, le dispositif de protection 1 utilisé seul peut en outre comprendre un socle (non représenté) sur lequel le mât est fixé pour le maintenir en position verticale. Le mât peut encore présenter, à son extrémité opposée à la mâchoire 14, une terminaison pointue (non représentée) lui permettant d'être enfiché dans un sol meuble comme du sable pour une utilisation balnéaire.Alternatively, the protective device 1 used alone may further comprise a base (not shown) on which the mast is fixed to hold it in position. vertical position. The mast may still have, at its end opposite the jaw 14, a pointed end (not shown) allowing it to be plugged into soft ground like sand for seaside use.
