Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des clôtures occultantes et porte plus particulièrement sur un dispositif de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide, sur un kit de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide et sur une clôture occultante équipée d'un tel kit de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide.The invention relates to the field of blackout fences and relates more particularly to a device for fixing slats to a rigid mesh panel, to a kit for fixing slats to a rigid mesh panel and to a blackout fence equipped with such a fixing kit of rigid mesh panel slats.

La fixation de lamelles permet d'habiller des panneaux grillagés rigides et permet ainsi de constituer une clôture occultante, ou encore brise-vue, en particulier pour préserver l'intimité des jardins mais encore servant de panneau de protection vis-à-vis du vent.The fixing of slats makes it possible to dress rigid mesh panels and thus makes it possible to constitute a blackout fence, or even a privacy screen, in particular to preserve the privacy of gardens but also serving as a protective panel against the wind .

On connaît depuis longtemps la fixation de lamelles verticales sur des panneaux grillagés rigides.The fixing of vertical slats on rigid mesh panels has long been known.

On connaît de la demande de brevet français FR3018843 A1 un élément de fixation de lamelles qui est positionné en partie basse du panneau grillagé rigide. Un tel élément comporte une partie de section transversale en C, destinée à venir se clipser sur le fil horizontal inférieur du panneau grillagé rigide. L'élément de fixation présente également une partie droite servant de pied de soutien de lamelle et destinée à être reçue dans la lamelle verticale creuse de façon à clipser la lamelle avec un élément de tension prévu pour serrer la paroi de la lamelle contre la partie de section transversale en C. Un élément de fixation doit être prévu pour chaque lamelle, ce qui rend longue et répétitive la pose des nombreuses lamelles nécessaires pour obtenir une clôture occultante.We know from the French patent application FR3018843 A1 a slat fixing element which is positioned in the lower part of the rigid mesh panel. Such an element comprises a portion of cross section in C, intended to be clipped onto the lower horizontal wire of the rigid mesh panel. The fixing element also has a straight part serving as a lamella support foot and intended to be received in the hollow vertical lamella so as to clip the lamella with a tension element provided to clamp the wall of the lamella against the part of cross section in C. A fastening element must be provided for each slat, which makes it long and repetitive to lay the many slats required to obtain a blackout fence.

En outre, lorsque le panneau grillagé rigide est placé sensiblement à fleur du sol, du fait d'irrégularités locales du niveau du sol par exemple, il n'est pas possible de faire pivoter l'élément de fixation pour faire pénétrer la partie droite à l'intérieur de la lamelle. Il est ainsi courant que le poseur monte un certain nombre de lamelles sans fixation en partie basse. De plus, du fait du grand nombre d'éléments de fixation à poser pour des clôtures de grande longueur, il peut arriver que par lassitude et pour gagner du temps, le poseur n'installe pas systématiquement un élément de fixation par lamelle. Il s'ensuit une détérioration facilitée de la clôture, en cas de vent par exemple qui peut emporter les lamelles non fixées.In addition, when the rigid mesh panel is placed substantially flush with the ground, due to local irregularities in the ground level for example, it is not possible to rotate the fixing element to cause the straight part to penetrate. inside the coverslip. It is thus common for the installer to mount a certain number of slats without fixing at the bottom. In addition, due to the large number of fasteners to be installed for very long fences, it may happen that out of weariness and to save time, the installer does not systematically install one fastening element per slat. This results in a facilitated deterioration of the fence, in the event of wind for example which can carry the unfixed slats.

En outre, un tel élément de fixation est inadapté pour la pose de lamelles non creuses ou d'épaisseur non négligeable.In addition, such a fastening element is unsuitable for fitting non-hollow slats or of non-negligible thickness.

Il existe donc un besoin pour une solution pour la fixation rapide, commode, fiable et polyvalente de lamelles pour panneau grillagé rigide et qui produise une fois monté un aspect fini esthétique.There is therefore a need for a solution for the rapid, convenient, reliable and versatile attachment of rigid mesh panel slats and which, once mounted, produces an aesthetic finished appearance.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide, pour fixer des lamelles à un panneau grillagé rigide comprenant des fils verticaux et des fils horizontaux, le dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend :

  • un profilé formant une partie de réception de lamelles qui s'étend dans la direction longitudinale du profilé et comporte un fond et une paroi verticale reliée au fond, le fond étant apte à soutenir, en utilisation, les extrémités inférieures de lamelles reçues dans l'espace défini entre le plan contenant les fils horizontaux du panneau grillagé rigide et la paroi verticale du profilé et disposées chacune entre deux fils verticaux successifs du panneau grillagé rigide, et
  • plusieurs parties de fixation, qui sont portées par le fond du profilé, à distance de la paroi verticale de la partie de réception de lamelles de façon à également autoriser la réception de l'extrémité inférieure d'au moins une lamelle entre la partie de fixation et ladite paroi verticale, chaque partie de fixation comportant des moyens de fixation pour fixer le profilé à un fil horizontal du panneau grillagé rigide, les moyens de fixation ayant une longueur telle qu'ils sont aptes, en utilisation, à venir se placer entre deux fils verticaux successifs du panneau grillagé rigide.
The present invention therefore relates to a device for fixing slats to a rigid mesh panel, for fixing the slats to a rigid mesh panel comprising vertical wires and horizontal wires, the device being characterized in that it comprises:
  • a section forming a slat receiving part which extends in the longitudinal direction of the section and has a bottom and a vertical wall connected to the bottom, the bottom being able to support, in use, the lower ends of the slats received in the space defined between the plane containing the horizontal wires of the rigid mesh panel and the vertical wall of the profile and each arranged between two successive vertical wires of the rigid mesh panel, and
  • several fixing parts, which are carried by the bottom of the profile, at a distance from the vertical wall of the slat receiving part so as to also allow the reception of the lower end of at least one lamella between the fastening part and said vertical wall, each fixing part comprising fixing means for fixing the profile to a horizontal wire of the rigid mesh panel, the fixing means having a length such that they are suitable, in use, to come between two successive vertical wires of the rigid mesh panel.

Contrairement aux dispositifs de fixation de l'état antérieur de la technique où l'opérateur doit fixer un élément de fixation par lamelle, il lui suffit de fixer en une fois le profilé au panneau grillagé puis d'introduire les lamelles dans le profilé une à une comme selon les dispositifs existants.Unlike the fixing devices of the prior state of the art where the operator has to fix a fixing element per strip, all he has to do is fix the profile to the mesh panel at one time and then insert the strips into the profile one by one. one as according to the existing devices.

De préférence, les parties de fixation sont réparties de façon régulière le long du profilé, de préférence avec un intervalle d'au moins 12 mm entre deux parties de fixation consécutives.Preferably, the fixing parts are distributed evenly along the profile, preferably with a gap of at least 12 mm between two consecutive fixing parts.

De préférence, le dispositif, à savoir le profilé et les parties de fixation, est réalisé en PVC.Preferably, the device, namely the profile and the fixing parts, is made of PVC.

Le profilé peut être d'une longueur de 608 mm.The profile can be 608 mm long.

La partie de fixation peut être d'une longueur de 44 mm.The fixing part can be 44 mm long.

La distance, mesurée dans la direction transversale à la direction longitudinale du profilé, entre la paroi verticale de la partie de réception de lamelles et chaque partie de fixation peut être de 6,5 mm.The distance, measured in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the profile, between the vertical wall of the lamella receiving part and each fixing part may be 6.5 mm.

La présente invention a également pour objet un kit de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide, pour fixer des lamelles à un panneau grillagé rigide comprenant des fils verticaux et des fils horizontaux, le kit comprenant au moins un profilé de calage apte à être inséré longitudinalement au panneau grillagé rigide dans des plis du panneau grillagé rigide et renforcer le maintien des lamelles contre les fils horizontaux du panneau grillagé rigide, et un profilé de fermeture apte à coiffer la partie supérieure des lamelles, le kit étant caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend également un dispositif de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide tel que défini ci-dessus.The present invention also relates to a kit for fixing slats to a rigid mesh panel, for attaching slats to a rigid mesh panel comprising vertical wires and horizontal wires, the kit comprising at least one wedging profile suitable for being inserted longitudinally. the rigid mesh panel in folds of the rigid mesh panel and strengthen the retention of the slats against the horizontal wires of the rigid mesh panel, and a closing profile suitable for covering the upper part of the slats, the kit being characterized by the fact that it also comprises a device for fixing strips to a rigid mesh panel as defined above.

La présente invention a également pour objet une clôture occultante, comprenant au moins un panneau grillagé rigide et une pluralité de lamelles, le panneau grillagé rigide étant fixé à au moins deux piquets et comprenant des fils verticaux et des fils horizontaux, et étant prévue une lamelle de moins que le nombre de fils verticaux du panneau grillagé rigide, caractérisée par le fait que les lamelles sont fixées, au niveau de leurs extrémités inférieures, au panneau grillagé rigide par un dispositif de fixation tel que défini ci-dessus ou par un kit de fixation tel que défini ci-dessus.The present invention also relates to a blackout fence, comprising at least one rigid mesh panel and a plurality of slats, the rigid mesh panel being fixed to at least two stakes and comprising vertical wires and horizontal wires, and a slat being provided. less than the number of vertical wires of the rigid mesh panel, characterized by the fact that the slats are fixed, at their lower ends, to the rigid mesh panel by a fixing device as defined above or by a kit of fixing as defined above.

De préférence, le dispositif de fixation comprend un nombre de parties de fixation égal au nombre de lamelles, chaque partie de fixation étant située entre deux fils verticaux successifs du panneau grillagé rigide.Preferably, the fixing device comprises a number of fixing parts equal to the number of strips, each fixing part being located between two successive vertical wires of the rigid mesh panel.

Bien entendu, en variante les parties de fixation peuvent être réparties de façon régulière le long du profilé, à un pas tel qu'entre deux parties de fixation successives se trouvent, dans la direction longitudinale du profilé, plusieurs lamelles, comme par exemple trois lamelles.Of course, as a variant, the fixing parts can be distributed in a regular manner along the profile, at a pitch such that between two successive fixing parts are located, in the longitudinal direction of the profile. profile, several slats, for example three slats.

De préférence, la distance, mesurée dans la direction transversale à la direction longitudinale du profilé, entre la paroi verticale des moyens de réception de lamelles et chaque partie de fixation est légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur d'une lamelle. Les lamelles sont supportées par le fond du profilé et maintenues latéralement de manière correcte d'un côté par la paroi verticale des moyens de réception de lamelles et de l'autre côté par le fil horizontal du panneau grillagé rigide ou par la partie de fixation, sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire de forcer la lamelle dans le profilé.Preferably, the distance, measured in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the section, between the vertical wall of the lamella receiving means and each fixing part is slightly greater than the thickness of a lamella. The slats are supported by the bottom of the profile and held laterally in a correct manner on one side by the vertical wall of the slat receiving means and on the other side by the horizontal wire of the rigid mesh panel or by the fixing part, without having to force the slat into the profile.

On peut prévoir, en variante, que la partie verticale des moyens de réception de lamelles et/ou la partie de fixation soient aptes à pincer les extrémités inférieures des lamelles, par exemple du fait que la distance est légèrement inférieure à l'épaisseur des lamelles, mais cela n'est pas obligatoire pour avoir un maintien correct des lamelles.As a variant, provision can be made for the vertical part of the lamellae receiving means and / or the fixing part to be able to clamp the lower ends of the lamellae, for example because the distance is slightly less than the thickness of the lamellae. , but this is not obligatory to have a correct maintenance of the slats.

De tels panneaux sont maintenus entre des piquets de façon à constituer une clôture délimitant un terrain.The term “rigid mesh panel” is understood to mean any fence element made of a rigid planar mesh of vertical and horizontal metal wires, square or rectangular, and well known to those skilled in the art. Such panels are maintained between stakes so as to constitute a fence delimiting a field.

Usuellement de tels panneaux présentent dans leurs parties basse, intermédiaire et haute une partie du maillage en pli, formant une saillie, courant sur toute la longueur du panneau, généralement en forme de V en coupe transversale.Usually such panels have in their lower, intermediate and upper parts a part of the folded mesh, forming a projection, running over the entire length. panel length, generally V-shaped in cross section.

On entend par lamelle tout profilé de forme parallélépipédique, plein ou creux, généralement en matière plastique, métallique ou en bois par exemple, et disposé sur un panneau grillagé rigide de façon à constituer une clôture occultante. Une telle lamelle est bien connue de l'homme du métier.The term “lamella” is understood to mean any section of parallelepiped shape, solid or hollow, generally made of plastic, metal or wood for example, and arranged on a rigid mesh panel so as to constitute a blackout fence. Such a strip is well known to those skilled in the art.

Le dispositif de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide 1 comprend un profilé de fixation 2 de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique qui comporte un fond plat 3 destiné en utilisation à être positionné côté sol. Le fond 3 est rectangulaire et présente un premier bord longitudinal 4 et second bord longitudinal 5 opposés l'un à l'autre. Au niveau du premier bord 4, le profilé de fixation 2 présente une première paroi verticale 6 qui s'étend sur toute la longueur du premier bord longitudinal 4 perpendiculairement au fond 3, de préférence formant un angle droit avec le fond 3. Ainsi, le fond 3 et la première paroi verticale 6 constituent une zone de réception dans laquelle une extrémité inférieure de lamelle est reçue et calée, reposant sur le fond 3 et au voisinage, éventuellement en contact, avec la première paroi verticale 6 comme cela sera décrit par la suite.The rigid mesh panel slat fixing device 1 comprises a fixing profile 2 of substantially parallelepiped shape which comprises a flat bottom 3 intended in use to be positioned on the ground side. The bottom 3 is rectangular and has a first longitudinal edge 4 and second longitudinal edge 5 opposed to each other. At the level of the first edge 4, the fixing profile 2 has a first vertical wall 6 which extends over the entire length of the first longitudinal edge 4 perpendicular to the bottom 3, preferably forming a right angle with the bottom 3. Thus, the bottom 3 and the first vertical wall 6 constitute a receiving zone in which a lower end of the strip is received and wedged, resting on the bottom 3 and in the vicinity, possibly in contact, with the first vertical wall 6 as will be described by the after.

Sur le second bord longitudinal 5, le profilé de fixation 2 comprend des parties de fixation 7 configurées pour fixer le dispositif de fixation 1 à un panneau grillagé rigide. Comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 2, les parties de fixation 7 comprennent une seconde paroi verticale 8 perpendiculaire au fond 3 et en regard avec et de même hauteur que la première paroi verticale 6.On the second longitudinal edge 5, the fixing profile 2 comprises fixing parts 7 configured to fix the fixing device 1 to a rigid mesh panel. As can be seen on the Figure 2 , the fixing parts 7 comprise a second vertical wall 8 perpendicular to the bottom 3 and facing with and of the same height as the first vertical wall 6.

Les parties de fixation 7 comprennent un bras 9 relié à la seconde paroi verticale 8 au niveau de la mi-hauteur de celle-ci sur le côté opposé à celui faisant face à la première paroi verticale 6. Le bras 9 comporte une portion arquée 10 de section transversale en forme de C dont l'ouverture est tournée vers le bas, constituant ainsi une goulotte 11. En utilisation, la partie ouverte du C est donc orientée vers le sol. La portion arquée 10 s'étend depuis la seconde paroi verticale 8 du profilé de fixation 2 et se termine au niveau de son extrémité libre par une portion terminale 12.The fixing parts 7 comprise an arm 9 connected to the second vertical wall 8 at the level of the mid-height thereof on the side opposite to that facing the first vertical wall 6. The arm 9 comprises an arcuate portion 10 of C-shaped cross section, the opening of which faces downwards, thus constituting a chute 11. In use, the open part of the C is therefore oriented towards the ground. The arcuate portion 10 extends from the second vertical wall 8 of the fixing profile 2 and ends at its free end with an end portion 12.

La portion terminale 12 est, de préférence, incurvée, avec un centre de courbure qui est côté extérieur au profilé de fixation 2. Il convient de noter que la portion terminale 12 peut être rectiligne.The end portion 12 is preferably curved, with a center of curvature which is on the exterior side of the fixing profile 2. It should be noted that the end portion 12 can be rectilinear.

Au niveau des parties de fixation 7, de préférence, la distance entre la première paroi 6 et la seconde paroi 8 du profilé 2 est, de préférence, au moins légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur d'une lamelle 20. Par exemple, ladite distance est de 6,5 mm.At the level of the fixing parts 7, preferably, the distance between the first wall 6 and the second wall 8 of the profile 2 is, preferably, at least slightly greater than the thickness of a strip 20. For example, said distance is 6.5 mm.

Comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 3, les parties de fixation 7 sont configurées pour fixer le dispositif de fixation 1 à un panneau grillagé rigide 13.As can be seen on the Figure 3 , the fixing parts 7 are configured to fix the fixing device 1 to a rigid mesh panel 13.

Sur la Figure 4, on peut voir que l'on y a représenté un panneau grillagé rigide 13. Un tel panneau grillagé rigide 13 est constitué par un maillage plan rigide de fils métalliques verticaux 14 et horizontaux 15 et comporte en particulier un fil horizontal supérieur 16 et un fil horizontal inférieur 17.On the Figure 4 , we can see that there is shown a rigid mesh panel 13. Such a rigid mesh panel 13 is constituted by a rigid planar mesh of vertical 14 and horizontal 15 metal wires and in particular comprises an upper horizontal wire 16 and a wire lower horizontal 17.

A l'état monté, le dispositif de fixation 1 est fixé au fil horizontal inférieur 17. Comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 3, le dispositif de fixation 1 est fixé par l'intermédiaire des parties de fixation 7 au panneau grillagé 13 par insertion du fil horizontal inférieur 17 dans la goulotte 11. Du fait de la forme arquée, le bras 9 forme avec la seconde paroi verticale 8 du profilé de fixation 2 un étranglement configuré pour maintenir le fil horizontal inférieur 17 dans la goulotte 11. Le fil horizontal inférieur 17 est inséré, respectivement retiré, par poussée vers l'extérieur de la portion terminale 12 de façon à élargir l'étranglement, le fil horizontal inférieur 17 étant maintenu ainsi par clipsage.In the assembled state, the fixing device 1 is fixed to the lower horizontal wire 17. As can be seen in the figure. Figure 3 , the fixing device 1 is fixed by means of the fixing parts 7 to the mesh panel 13 by inserting the lower horizontal wire 17 into the chute 11. Due to the arched shape, the arm 9 forms with the second vertical wall 8 of the fixing profile 2 a constriction configured to hold the lower horizontal wire 17 in the chute 11. The lower horizontal wire 17 is inserted, respectively withdrawn, by pushing outwardly the end portion 12 of so as to widen the constriction, the lower horizontal wire 17 thus being held by clipping.

Comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 1, le dispositif de fixation 1 comprend une pluralité de parties de fixation 7 individualisées, réparties de façon uniforme, ayant un intervalle entre deux parties de fixation 7 successives, et de pas constant.As can be seen on the Figure 1 , the fixing device 1 comprises a plurality of individualized fixing parts 7, distributed uniformly, having an interval between two successive fixing parts 7, and of constant pitch.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les Figures 1, 2, 3A et 8, l'intervalle est d'une longueur au moins légèrement supérieure au diamètre d'un fil vertical 14 et est ainsi dimensionné de façon à permettre le passage d'un fil métallique vertical 14 du maillage du panneau grillagé rigide 13, les parties de fixation 7 ayant ainsi une longueur telle qu'elles peuvent être positionnées entre deux fils verticaux 14. De façon avantageuse, l'intervalle entre deux parties de fixation est de 12 mm. Ainsi, dans une telle configuration, il existe une partie de fixation 7 pour chaque espace entre deux fils verticaux 14 successifs du maillage.According to the embodiment shown in the Figures 1, 2 , 3A and 8 , the gap is of a length at least slightly greater than the diameter of a vertical wire 14 and is thus dimensioned so as to allow the passage of a vertical metal wire 14 of the mesh of the rigid mesh panel 13, the fixing parts 7 thus having a length such that they can be positioned between two vertical wires 14. Advantageously, the interval between two fixing parts is 12 mm. Thus, in such a configuration, there is a fixing part 7 for each space between two successive vertical threads 14 of the mesh.

Le profilé de fixation 2 peut être fabriqué à l'aide d'un procédé usuellement rencontré tel que par extrusion, moulage, etc., ayant une unique partie de fixation 7 courant sur toute la longueur de celui-ci, une découpe étant ensuite réalisée à pas constant pour individualiser les parties de fixation 7 et ainsi obtenir le profilé aux dimensions souhaitées. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, le profilé de fixation 2 est réalisé en PVC.The fixing profile 2 can be manufactured using a process usually encountered such as by extrusion, molding, etc., having a single fixing part 7 running the entire length thereof, a cut being then made. at constant pitch to individualize the fixing parts 7 and thus obtain the profile with the desired dimensions. Particularly advantageously, the fixing profile 2 is made of PVC.

De façon préférée, le profilé 2 présente une longueur de 608 mm.Preferably, the profile 2 has a length of 608 mm.

Les parties de fixation peuvent avoir une longueur de 44 mm et les première 6 et seconde 8 parois verticales peuvent avoir une hauteur de 15 mm.The fixing parts can be 44mm long and the first 6 and second 8 vertical walls can be 15mm high.

La présente invention porte également sur un kit de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide.The present invention also relates to a kit for attaching slats to a rigid mesh panel.

Le kit comprend pour un panneau grillagé rigide 13, au moins un dispositif de fixation 1, de façon préférentielle quatre dispositifs de fixation de 608 mm de longueur, qui présentent l'avantage d'être plus aisément manipulé par un unique opérateur, ou un dispositif de fixation par exemple de 2500 mm de longueur, des profilés de calage 18, de préférence trois, et au moins un profilé de fermeture 19 et une pluralité de lamelles 20, une lamelle 20 de moins que le nombre de fils verticaux 14 du panneau 13.The kit comprises, for a rigid mesh panel 13, at least one fixing device 1, preferably four fixing devices 608 mm long, which have the advantage of being more easily handled by a single operator, or a device. fixing for example 2500 mm in length, wedging profiles 18, preferably three, and at least one closing profile 19 and a plurality of slats 20, one slat 20 less than the number of vertical wires 14 of the panel 13 .

Sur la Figure 5, on peut voir que l'on y a représenté un profilé de calage 18. De façon usuelle, comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 4, le panneau grillagé rigide 13 présente dans ses parties basse, intermédiaire et haute une partie du maillage en pli 21, formant saillie, courant sur toute la longueur du panneau 13, en forme de V en coupe transversale. Le pli comporte un fil horizontal 22 à la pointe du V.On the Figure 5 , we can see that there is shown a wedge profile 18. Usually, as can be seen on the Figure 4 , the rigid mesh panel 13 has in its lower, intermediate and upper parts a part of the folded mesh 21, forming a projection, running over the entire length of the panel 13, V-shaped in cross section. The fold has a horizontal wire 22 at the point of V.

Les profilés de calage 18 sont ainsi configurés pour être logés de façon longitudinale au panneau 13, à savoir perpendiculairement aux lamelles 20, dans l'espace défini par les plis 21.The wedging profiles 18 are thus configured to be housed longitudinally to the panel 13, namely perpendicular to the slats 20, in the space defined by the folds 21.

Les profilés de calage 18 présentent ainsi de façon correspondante une section transversale en V, comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 5. La partie de liaison 23 des deux ailes 24 du V présente une portion arquée 25, ouverte du côté opposé à celui vers lequel est ouverte le V, et configurée pour recevoir le fil horizontal 22 du panneau rigide 13 du fond du V du pli 21. Les extrémités libres des bras du profilé de calage 18 sont destinées à venir en appui contre la face de la lamelle 20.The wedging profiles 18 thus have a corresponding V-shaped cross section, as can be seen in the figure. Figure 5 . The connecting part 23 of the two wings 24 of the V has an arcuate portion 25, open on the side opposite to that towards which the V is open, and configured to receive the horizontal wire 22 of the rigid panel 13 from the bottom of the V of the ply 21. The free ends of the arms of the wedging profile 18 are intended to bear against the face of the slat 20.

De tels profilés de calage 18 permettent de rigidifier la clôture occultante, en particulier vis-à-vis du vent.Such wedging profiles 18 make it possible to stiffen the blackout fence, in particular against the wind.

Dans le cas d'un panneau grillagé rigide qui présente un pli de géométrie différente, les profilés de calage présenteront une géométrie correspondante, par exemple à section transversale de forme trapézoïdale.In the case of a rigid mesh panel which has a fold of different geometry, the wedging profiles will have a corresponding geometry, for example with a cross section of trapezoidal shape.

Sur la Figure 6, on peut voir que l'on y a représenté un profilé de fermeture 19. Le profilé de fermeture 19, est par exemple d'une longueur de 1,24 mm ou 1,00 mm et présente une section transversale en U, ayant un fond 26, une première paroi 27 et une seconde paroi 28, les première 27 et seconde 28 parois étant parallèles l'un par rapport à l'autre et perpendiculaires au fond 26. La première paroi 27 est plus haute que la seconde paroi 28 et comprend un retour 29, courant sur toute la longueur du profilé de fermeture 19, orienté vers l'intérieur du U, formant un angle de 45° avec la première paroi 27. De façon avantageuse, la distance séparant la première paroi 27 et la seconde paroi 28 est de 12 mm.On the Figure 6 , it can be seen that there is shown a closing profile 19. The closing profile 19, is for example of a length of 1.24 mm or 1.00 mm and has a U-shaped cross section, having a bottom 26, a first wall 27 and a second wall 28, the first 27 and second 28 walls being parallel to each other and perpendicular to the bottom 26. The first wall 27 is higher than the second wall 28 and comprises a return 29, running over the entire length of the closing profile 19, oriented towards the inside of the U, forming an angle of 45 ° with the first wall 27. Advantageously, the distance separating the first wall 27 and the second wall 28 is 12 mm.

Il convient de noter que le kit de fixation pourrait comprendre plus d'un profilé de fermeture 19, la longueur totale des profilés de fermeture 19 mis bout-à-bout étant alors égale à la longueur du dispositif de fixation 1.It should be noted that the fixing kit could include more than one closing profile 19, the total length of the closing profiles 19 placed end to end then being equal to the length of the fixing device 1.

Sur la Figure 7, on peut voir que l'on y a représenté une lamelle 20 pour clôture occultante. Une telle lamelle 20 se présente sous la forme d'un profilé 20 parallélépipédique, présentant deux faces longitudinales 30 et deux faces transversales 31 parallèles deux à deux. On appellera extrémité inférieure 32, l'extrémité de la lamelle 20 orientée côté sol et extrémité supérieure 33 l'extrémité de la lamelle 20 orientée côté ciel à l'état monté de la lamelle 20. Sur la Figure 7, la lamelle 20 est creuse comme usuellement rencontré, en particulier, la lamelle présente une paroi de renfort 34 reliant les deux faces longitudinales perpendiculairement à celles-ci et courant sur toute la longueur de la lamelle 20. Toutefois, une telle lamelle 20 peut être pleine. Selon la présente invention, la lamelle 20 peut avantageusement être réalisée en PVC. De façon générale, les lamelles pourront être réalisées en matière plastique, métallique ou en bois, par exemple.On the Figure 7 , we can see that there is shown a slat 20 for blackout fence. Such a strip 20 is in the form of a section 20 parallelepiped, having two longitudinal faces 30 and two transverse faces 31 parallel two by two. The lower end 32 will be called the end of the strip 20 oriented towards the ground and the upper end 33 the end of the strip 20 oriented towards the sky in the mounted state of the strip 20. On the Figure 7 , the strip 20 is hollow as usually encountered, in particular, the strip has a reinforcing wall 34 connecting the two longitudinal faces perpendicularly thereto and running over the entire length of the strip 20. However, such a strip 20 can be full. According to the present invention, the strip 20 can advantageously be made of PVC. In general, the slats can be made of plastic, metal or wood, for example.

De façon avantageuse, la lamelle 20 présente une épaisseur de 6 mm.Advantageously, the strip 20 has a thickness of 6 mm.

On va maintenant décrire le montage d'une clôture occultante 35, telle que représentée sur la Figure 8, à l'aide du kit de fixation de lamelles à panneau grillagé rigide selon la présente invention.We will now describe the assembly of a blackout fence 35, as shown in Figure 8 , using the rigid mesh panel slat fixing kit according to the present invention.

Au préalable, le panneau grillagé rigide 13 est installé entre deux piquets (non représentés) comme de façon classique, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation de panneau grillagé rigide à piquet bien connus de l'homme du métier.Beforehand, the rigid grid panel 13 is installed between two stakes (not shown) as in a conventional manner, by means of rigid grid panel fixing means with stakes well known to those skilled in the art.

Le dispositif de fixation 1 est fixé au panneau grillagé rigide 13 en clipsant le fil horizontal inférieur 17 dans chaque goulotte 11 des parties de fixation 7, tel que représenté sur la Figure 3.The fixing device 1 is fixed to the rigid mesh panel 13 by clipping the lower horizontal wire 17 in each channel 11 of the fixing parts 7, as shown in figure Figure 3 .

Les lamelles 20 sont insérées verticalement dans l'intervalle séparant deux fils verticaux 14 successifs et dans l'espace séparant les fils horizontaux 22 des plis 21 des autres fils horizontaux 15, jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité inférieure 32 vienne en contact avec le fond 3 du dispositif de fixation 1, et une face longitudinale 30 au moins au voisinage, et éventuellement en contact avec, le côté de la première paroi verticale 6 du dispositif de fixation 1 tourné vers le panneau grillagé rigide 13. Par ailleurs, lorsqu'une clôture est vue depuis le côté première paroi verticale 6 du dispositif de fixation 1, cette dernière constitue la partie de finition du dispositif de fixation 1, comme on peut le voir sur la Figure 8. En effet, lorsque le panneau grillagé rigide 13 est totalement occulté par des lamelles 20, maintenues par le dispositif de fixation 1 sur toute la longueur de celui-ci, la partie basse de la clôture occultante 35 ainsi constituée présente un bord continu sur toute la longueur de celle-ci, d'une part rigidifiant l'ensemble et d'autre part, conférant un aspect fini esthétique à l'ensemble.The strips 20 are inserted vertically in the gap separating two successive vertical wires 14 and in the space separating the horizontal wires 22 from the plies 21 of the other horizontal wires 15, until the lower end 32 comes into contact with the bottom 3 of the fixing device 1, and a longitudinal face 30 at least in the vicinity, and possibly in contact with, the side of the first vertical wall 6 of the fixing device 1 facing towards the rigid mesh panel 13. Furthermore, when a fence is seen from the side of the first vertical wall 6 of the fixing device 1, the latter constitutes the finishing part of the fixing device 1 , as we can see on the Figure 8 . Indeed, when the rigid mesh panel 13 is completely obscured by strips 20, held by the fixing device 1 over the entire length thereof, the lower part of the blackout fence 35 thus formed has a continuous edge over the entire length of the latter. length thereof, on the one hand stiffening the assembly and on the other hand, giving an aesthetic finished appearance to the assembly.

D'autre part, lorsqu'une lamelle 20 est insérée dans un intervalle entre deux fils verticaux 14 en partie basse duquel est fixée une partie de fixation 7, l'extrémité inférieure 32 de la lamelle 20 est maintenue latéralement entre la première paroi verticale 6 et la seconde paroi verticale 8 du dispositif de fixation 1.On the other hand, when a strip 20 is inserted in a gap between two vertical wires 14 in the lower part of which a fixing part 7 is fixed, the lower end 32 of the strip 20 is held laterally between the first vertical wall 6. and the second vertical wall 8 of the fixing device 1.

Une fois toutes les lamelles 20 montées, les profilés de calage 18 sont insérés dans les plis 21 du panneau grillagé rigide 13 de façon à ce que le fil horizontal 22 du pli 21 coulisse dans la partie arquée 25. Les profilés de calage 18 sont ainsi en appui d'une part contre le panneau grillagé rigide 13 par l'intermédiaire de leur partie de liaison 23 et d'autre part en appui contre les lamelles 20 par l'intermédiaire de leurs ailes 24. Une telle configuration augmente la rigidité d'ensemble de la clôture occultante 35.Once all the slats 20 have been mounted, the wedging profiles 18 are inserted into the folds 21 of the rigid mesh panel 13 so that the horizontal wire 22 of the fold 21 slides in the arched part 25. The wedging profiles 18 are thus resting on the one hand against the rigid mesh panel 13 via their connecting part 23 and on the other hand resting against the strips 20 via their wings 24. Such a configuration increases the rigidity of entire blackout fence 35.

Le profilé de fermeture 19 est ensuite monté par insertion des extrémités supérieures 33 des lamelles 20 dans l'espace défini entre les première 27 et seconde 28 paroi jusqu'au fond 26. Le profilé de fermeture 19 est fixé au panneau grillagé rigide 13 par l'intermédiaire du retour 29 venant serrer le fil horizontal supérieur 16. De façon avantageuse, le bord libre du retour 29 est configuré pour venir en appui contre la face la lamelle 20. Les lamelles 20 sont ainsi maintenues par pinçage entre la première paroi 27 et la seconde paroi 28 du profilé de fermeture 19. En outre, le profilé de fermeture 19 vient obturer les lamelles dans le cas de lamelles creuses.The closing profile 19 is then mounted by inserting the upper ends 33 of the slats 20 in the space defined between the first 27 and second 28 wall to the bottom 26. The closing profile 19 is fixed to the rigid mesh panel 13 by the 'intermediary of the return 29 clamping the upper horizontal wire 16. Advantageously, the free edge of the return 29 is configured to bear against the face of the strip 20. The strips 20 are thus held by clamping between the first wall 27 and the second wall 28 of the closing profile 19. In addition, the closing profile 19 closes the slats in the case of hollow slats.

L'ensemble des lamelles 20 pour clôture occultante 35 est ainsi solidarisé par le dispositif de fixation 1 en partie basse, par le profilé de fermeture 19 en partie haute et rigidifié par les profilés de calage 18, tous transversaux par rapport aux lamelles 20.The set of slats 20 for blackout fence 35 is thus secured by the fixing device 1 in the lower part, by the closing profile 19 in the upper part and stiffened by the wedging profiles 18, all transverse to the slats 20.

Il est bien entendu que les modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits ont été donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif et que des modes de réalisation peuvent y être apportés sans que l'on s'écarte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention, délimité par les revendications ci-jointes.It is understood that the embodiments which have just been described have been given by way of indication and not by way of limitation and that embodiments can be made thereto without departing for all that from the scope of the present invention. , delimited by the appended claims.
