Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des matériaux de construction, du type décoratif ou ornemental, se présentant, plus particulièrement, sous la forme de panneaux de tailles et de formes diverses et destinés à assurer l'élaboration ou la construction de produits ou objets, à caractère exclusivement ou non utilitaire et/ou esthétique, tels que, par exemple, des meubles.The present invention relates to the technical field of construction materials, of the decorative or ornamental type, which is more particularly in the form of panels of various sizes and shapes and intended to ensure the development or construction of products or objects, exclusively or not utilitarian and / or aesthetic, such as, for example, furniture.

L'objet de la présente invention vise, plus particulièrement, les panneaux de construction constitués ou revêtus d'une roche, telle que, par exemple, de la pierre, du marbre ou du granit.The object of the present invention is more particularly aimed at construction panels made up or coated with a rock, such as, for example, stone, marble or granite.

Il est connu de l'homme de métier que de tels panneaux de construction, qui possèdent un aspect décoratif manifeste, sont de mise en oeuvre très délicate, en raison, notamment, des problèmes de résistance mécanique et de déformation qu'ils posent.It is known to those skilled in the art that such construction panels, which have a manifest decorative appearance, are very delicate to use, due, in particular, to the problems of mechanical strength and of deformation which they pose.

Pour tenter de remédier à ces inconvénients, la demande de brevet EP 0 151 406 propose des éléments de support destinés à la fabrication de meubles, constitués par deux plaques de marbre collées ensemble par une couche de résine polyester interposée entre les plaques.In an attempt to remedy these drawbacks, patent application EP 0 151 406 proposes support elements intended for the manufacture of furniture, constituted by two marble plates glued together by a layer of polyester resin interposed between the plates.

Si une telle proposition permet d'améliorer sensiblement la résistance mécanique des meubles, il apparaît que la réalisation de tels éléments, formés par deux plaques de marbre, augmente considérablement le poids et le coût des meubles fabriqués par ces éléments.If such a proposal makes it possible to significantly improve the mechanical resistance of the furniture, it appears that the production of such elements, formed by two marble slabs, considerably increases the weight and the cost of the furniture produced by these elements.

Par ailleurs, ces éléments de support ne sont pas adaptés, en raison de leur structure, pour constituer des meubles ou des parties de meubles, destinés à être soumis, directement ou non, à des vibrations et/ou à des chocs répétitifs ou accidentels. C'est le cas, en particulier, des menuiseries mobiles, telles que les portes et les tiroirs de meubles.Furthermore, these support elements are not suitable, because of their structure, for constituting furniture or parts of furniture, intended to be subjected, directly or indirectly, to repetitive or accidental vibrations and / or shocks. This is the case, in particular, of mobile joinery, such as doors and drawers for furniture.

L'art antérieur propose, également, par la demande de brevet CH-A 487 623, un élément de construction pour des meubles, comportant un cadre de section droite tranversale en "U", muni de saillies venant s'ancrer dans une plaque servant de support à un panneau décoratif. Un tel élément de construction n'est nullement conçu et adapté pour recevoir un panneau décoratif réalisé en une roche, en raison de la structure de ces éléments qui ne permet pas de résoudre les problèmes de support, de déformation et de brisure de la roche.The prior art also proposes, by patent application CH-A 487 623 , a construction element for furniture, comprising a cross-sectional cross-section frame in "U" shape, provided with projections anchored in a plate serving as support for a decorative panel. Such a building element is in no way designed and adapted to receive a decorative panel made of a rock, because of the structure of these elements which does not make it possible to solve the problems of support, deformation and breaking of the rock.

L'invention vise, justement, à remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un panneau pour la construction de meubles comportant une plaque décorative réalisée en une roche et spécialement conçu pour résister aux chocs et aux vibrations auxquels il est soumis.The invention aims, precisely, to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a panel for the construction of furniture comprising a decorative plate made of a rock and specially designed to withstand the shocks and vibrations to which it is subjected.

L'invention vise, également, à proposer un panneau adapté plus particulièrement pour la construction de menuiseries mobiles.The invention also aims to provide a panel adapted more particularly for the construction of mobile joinery.

L'invention vise, aussi, à proposer un panneau de construction simple et présentant un aspect décoratif manifeste.The invention also aims to provide a simple construction panel and having a manifest decorative appearance.

Pour atteindre les buts ci-dessus, le panneau de construction selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :
- une bordure d'encadrement fixée sur le support, présentant un rebord d'appui de la plaque et délimitant, avec le chant de la plaque, un jeu périphérique assurant une liberté de mouvement de la plaque selon son plan,
- et des moyens d'interposition constitués par au moins deux tampons d'amortissement des chocs et des vibrations autorisant une liberté de mouvement de la plaque selon son plan et exerçant un effort de pression perpendiculaire au plan de la plaque pour maintenir la plaque en appui contre le rebord de la bordure d'encadrement.To achieve the above goals, the construction panel according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises:
- a framing border fixed on the support, having a support rim of the plate and delimiting, with the edge of the plate, a peripheral clearance ensuring freedom of movement of the plate according to its plane,
- And interposition means constituted by at least two shock and vibration damping pads allowing freedom of movement of the plate according to its plane and exerting a pressure force perpendicular to the plane of the plate to keep the plate in support against the edge of the frame border.

La fig. 1 illustre un exemple de réalisation d'un panneau conforme à l'invention, adapté pour la construction partielle ou complète de meubles, au sens général, et, notamment, de meubles de cuisine. Le panneau de construction selon l'invention est conçu pour constituer des parties fixes de meubles ou, de préférence, des menuiseries mobiles, telles que des portes ou des tiroirs, destinées à être soumises à des chocs ou à des vibrations. Dans l'exemple illustré à la fig. 1, le panneau constitue une porte. Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a panel according to the invention, suitable for the partial or complete construction of furniture, in the general sense, and, in particular, kitchen furniture. The building panel according to the invention is designed to constitute fixed parts of furniture or, preferably, mobile joinery, such as doors or drawers, intended to be subjected to shocks or vibrations. In the example illustrated in fig. 1 , the panel constitutes a door.

Conformément à l'invention, le panneau comporte une plaque décorative 1, réalisée en une roche, telle que, par exemple, de la pierre, du marbre et, de préférence, du granit. La plaque 1 présente, avantageusement, une épaisseur n'excédant pas 10 mm, afin d'obtenir un poids le plus faible possible, tout en conservant une résilience suffisante. L'une des faces de la plaque 1, par exemple la face 1₁, subit un traitement de surface, tel qu'un polissage, pour présenter un aspect décoratif extérieur amplifié.According to the invention, the panel comprises a decorative plate 1 , made of a rock, such as, for example, stone, marble and, preferably, granite. The plate 1 advantageously has a thickness not exceeding 10 mm, in order to obtain the lowest possible weight, while retaining sufficient resilience. One of the faces of the plate 1 , for example the face 1₁ , undergoes a surface treatment, such as polishing, to present an amplified external decorative appearance.

La plaque décorative 1 est adaptée sur un support 2, par l'intermédiaire de tampons 3 d'amortissement des chocs et des vibrations et dont la fonction sera mieux comprise dans la description qui suit. Dans l'exemple illustré, le support 2 est apte à recevoir, le long de son bord vertical 2₁, des moyens 4 d'articulation du panneau, de tous types connus, tels que des charnières fixées à un dormant 5 du meuble. Le support 2 comporte un joint périphérique 6 présentant, de préférence, une section droite transversale de forme annulaire, réalisé en un matériau poreux et destiné à venir en appui sur le dormant 5. Le support 2, réalisé de préférence en bois, est aménagé pour assurer la fixation d'une bordure d'encadrement 7 comportant un rebord 8 destiné à recouvrir la périphérie de la face 1₁ de la plaque pour la maintenir en relation avec le support 2. Par exemple, la bordure 7, réalisée en toute matière appropriée, est formée par des segments de profilés montés sur le support 2, par l'intermédiaire d'un assemblage du type rainure et languette et par l'interposition d'un joint de colle entre le support et la bordure.The decorative plate 1 is adapted on a support 2 , by means of buffers 3 for damping shocks and vibrations and whose function will be better understood in the description which follows. In the example illustrated, the support 2 is able to receive, along its vertical edge 2₁ , means 4 for articulation of the panel, of all known types, such as hinges fixed to a frame 5 of the cabinet. The support 2 comprises a peripheral seal 6 having, preferably, a cross-section of annular shape, made of a porous material and intended to come to bear on the frame 5 . The support 2 , preferably made of wood, is arranged to ensure the fixing of a framing border 7 comprising a flange 8 intended to cover the periphery of the face 1₁ of the plate to maintain it in relation to the support 2 . For example, the border 7 , made of any suitable material, is formed by segments of profiles mounted on the support 2 , by means of an assembly of the groove and tongue type and by the interposition of an adhesive joint. between the support and the border.

Selon l'invention, la bordure d'encadrement 7 délimite, avec le chant 1a de la plaque, un jeu périphérique J assurant une liberté de mouvement de la plaque 1, selon un plan P sensiblement parallèle aux faces 1₁, 1₂ de la plaque. A titre d'exemple, le jeu périphérique peut être de l'ordre de 0,5 à 1 mm.According to the invention, the frame member 7 defines with the edge 1a of the plate, a peripheral clearance J ensuring freedom of movement of the plate 1, according to a plane P substantially parallel to the faces 1₁, 1₂ of the plate . For example, the peripheral play can be of the order of 0.5 to 1 mm.

Chaque tampon 3 est interposé entre le support 2 et la plaque 1 et constitue un élément de surface limitée pouvant être considéré comme ponctuel par rapport à la surface de la plaque et ne formant, en aucun cas, un cordon continu. Les tampons autorisent une liberté de mouvement de la plaque 1 selon le plan P et exercent un effort de pression sur la plaque perpendiculaire au plan P , de manière à maintenir la plaque en appui contre le rebord 8 de la bordure d'encadrement. Il doit être considéré que le rebord 8 de la bordure assure toujours la fonction d'appui de la plaque 1, quelle que soit la position prise par cette dernière.Each pad 3 is interposed between the support 2 and the plate 1 and constitutes an element of limited surface which can be considered as punctual with respect to the surface of the plate and which does not, in any case, form a continuous bead. The pads allow freedom of movement of the plate 1 along the plane P and exert a pressure force on the plate perpendicular to the plane P , so as to keep the plate in abutment against the rim 8 of the framing border. It must be considered that the rim 8 of the border always ensures the support function of the plate 1 , whatever the position taken by the latter.

Pour assumer les fonctions ci-dessus, chaque tampon 3 peut être constitué, par exemple, par un noyau creux 11, réalisé en un matériau élastique, tel que du caoutchouc, et enrobé d'un matériau de protection 12, tel que du silicone (fig. 2). Par exemple, chaque tampon est fixé sur le support par un point de colle et se trouve positionné de manière que l'axe A du noyau soit parallèle au support et à la plaque pour assurer sa fonction de pression sur la plaque.To assume the above functions, each buffer 3 can be constituted, for example, by a hollow core 11 , made of an elastic material, such as rubber, and coated with a protective material 12 , such as silicone ( fig. 2 ). For example, each pad is fixed to the support by a point of glue and is positioned so that the axis A of the core is parallel to the support and to the plate to ensure its function. pressure on the plate.

Bien entendu, les tampons 3 peuvent être réalisés d'une manière différente pour assumer les fonctions décrites ci-dessus comme, par exemple, par un noyau plein réalisé en un matériau élastique et enrobé de silicone.Of course, the pads 3 can be made in a different way to assume the functions described above, such as, for example, by a solid core made of an elastic material and coated with silicone.

Avantageusement, les tampons 3 sont placés en relation de proximité par rapport aux bords b de la plaque 1, pour assumer leur fonction d'amortissement de chocs et de vibrations. La position des tampons, le long des bords b ainsi que leur nombre, sont déterminés en relation avec le type de panneau et l'application visée. Les expériences pratiques ont montré qu'au moins certains des tampons 3 doivent être placés en relation avec les endroits du support où les contacts, les chocs ou les vibrations sont susceptibles d'apparaître.Advantageously, the buffers 3 are placed in proximity relation with respect to the edges b of the plate 1 , to assume their function of damping of shocks and vibrations. The position of the buffers along the edges b as well as their number are determined in relation to the type of panel and the intended application. Practical experience has shown that at least some of the buffers 3 must be placed in relation to the places on the support where contacts, shocks or vibrations are liable to appear.

Dans le cas de réalisation de portes, le panneau comporte, avantageusement, au moins deux tampons 3₁ placés en relation de proximité par rapport aux coins de la plaque délimités, en partie, par le bord b₁ situé à l'opposé du bord 2₁ du support portant les charnières 4 (fig. 3).In the case of making doors, the panel advantageously comprises at least two buffers 3₁ placed in proximity relation to the corners of the plate delimited, in part, by the edge b₁ situated opposite the edge 2 bord of the support bearing the hinges 4 ( fig. 3 ).

De plus, pour constituer un plan d'appui convenable pour la plaque, il est prévu de placer, soit un tampon 3₂ au milieu du bord b₂ placé du coté du bord 2₁ ou soit deux tampons 3₃ positionnés en relation de proximité par rapport aux coins de la plaque délimités en partie par le bord b₂. Bien entendu, il peut être envisagé de placer, entre les tampons 3₁, 3₃, en relation de proximité avec les bords de la plaque, d'autres tampons 3₄ en nombre déterminé en relation avec la taille des panneaux réalisés.In addition, to constitute a suitable support plane for the plate, it is planned to place either a pad 3₂ in the middle of the edge b₂ placed on the side of the edge 2₁ or two pads 3₃ positioned in proximity relation to the corners of the plate delimited in part by the edge b₂ . Of course, it can be envisaged to place, between the buffers 3₁, 3₃ , in proximity relationship with the edges of the plate, other buffers 3₄ in number determined in relation to the size of the panels produced.

Tel que cela apparaît plus particulièrement à la fig. 4, il doit être considéré que, dans le cas de réalisation d'un panneau comportant des moyens de coulissement 13 pour constituer un panneau de façade d'un tiroir, les essais ont montré que l'interposition de deux tampons 3, entre la plaque 1 et le support 2, pouvait être suffisante pour constituer un plan d'appui convenable dans le cas de panneaux de taille réduite. Pour des tiroirs de plus grande taille, les panneaux comportent des tampons supplémentaires dont le nombre et la position sont déterminés comme expliqué précédemment.As shown more particularly in FIG. 4 , it must be considered that, in the case of making a panel comprising sliding means 13 to constitute a front panel of a drawer, tests have shown that the interposition of two buffers 3 , between the plate 1 and the support 2 , could be sufficient to constitute a suitable support plane in the case of panels of reduced size. For larger drawers, the panels have additional buffers including the number and position are determined as explained above.

Le panneau de construction selon l'invention est ainsi particulièrement adapté pour former des menuiseries mobiles qui sont, par leur fonction, particulièrement soumises aux chocs et aux vibrations.The construction panel according to the invention is thus particularly suitable for forming mobile joinery which, by its function, is particularly subjected to shocks and vibrations.

Les fig. 5 et 6 illustrent un exemple de réalisation d'une bordure d'encadrement 7, spécialement conçue pour obtenir et conserver une jointure correcte des segments de profilés, malgré les efforts exercés sur le rebord 8, en raison du poids de la plaque décorative 1. Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a framing border 7 , specially designed to obtain and maintain a correct join of the profile segments, despite the forces exerted on the flange 8 , due to the weight of the decorative plate 1 .

La bordure d'encadrement est formée de profilés 15 présentant chacun une section droite transversale, de forme générale en "L". Chaque profilé 15 comporte une âme 16 dans laquelle est ménagé un canal 17 destiné à recevoir l'une des branches d'une équerre d'assemblage 18. De façon connue, l'assemblage des profilés entre eux est obtenu par des déformations de l'âme, localisées au niveau des équerres. L'âme des profilés comporte un sillon 19 dont l'un des flancs s'étend à l'équerre pour former le rebord 8 d'appui de la plaque 1. L'autre flanc du sillon 19 constitue une face de butée 21 dont la fonction sera mieux comprise dans la description qui suit. L'âme 16 comporte, sur sa face opposée au rebord 8, une rainure d'adaptation du joint 6.The framing border is formed of profiles 15 each having a cross section, generally in an "L" shape. Each profile 15 has a core 16 in which is formed a channel 17 intended to receive one of the branches of an assembly bracket 18 . In known manner, the assembly of the sections together is obtained by deformations of the core, located at the brackets. The core of the profiles has a groove 19 , one of the sides of which extends at right angles to form the flange 8 for supporting the plate 1 . The other flank of the groove 19 constitutes an abutment face 21 whose function will be better understood in the description which follows. The core 16 has, on its face opposite the rim 8 , a groove for adapting the seal 6 .

La bordure d'encadrement ainsi formée est conçue pour coopérer avec des clips 22 montés à distance les uns des autres dans des dégagements complémentaires 23 qui sont ménagés sur la tranche du support 2. Chaque clip 22 est fixé sur le support 2 par des vis 24 et comporte un ergot 25 découpé partiellement pour former un organe élastique. Chaque ergot 25 comporte un pan supérieur incliné 26 favorisant l'engagement des profilés jusqu'à ce que les ergots viennent en appui sur la face de butée 21 et prennent place à l'intérieur du sillon 19.The framing border thus formed is designed to cooperate with clips 22 mounted at a distance from each other in complementary clearances 23 which are formed on the edge of the support 2 . Each clip 22 is fixed to the support 2 by screws 24 and comprises a lug 25 cut partially to form an elastic member. Each lug 25 has an inclined upper panel 26 favoring the engagement of the profiles until the lugs come to bear on the abutment face 21 and take place inside the groove 19 .

Bien entendu, la bordure d'encadrement ainsi formée, et notamment les clips 22, délimitent, avec le chant de la plaque, un jeu périphérique J . Par ailleurs, le montage de la bordure sur les clips est permis par la compression des tampons 3 qui exercent, après montage, une pression nécessaire pour maintenir la plaque 1 en appui sur le rebord 8.Of course, the framing border thus formed, and in particular the clips 22 , define, with the edge of the plate, a peripheral clearance J. Furthermore, the mounting of the border on the clips is allowed by the compression of the buffers 3 which exert, after assembly, a pressure necessary to keep the plate 1 in abutment on the flange 8 .

Dans le cas où le panneau est équipé d'un élément de préhension 28 (fig. 1 et 6), il est prévu de ménager des trous 30, 31 en concordance, respectivement, dans la plaque 1 et le support 2, pour permettre le passage d'au moins une tige 299 destinée à venir se visser dans l'élément de préhension 28. Avantageusement, la tige 29 porte un tampon 3 destiné à être placé entre la plaque 1 et le support 2.In the case where the panel is equipped with a gripping element 28 ( fig. 1 and 6 ), provision is made to make holes 30 , 31 in concordance, respectively, in the plate 1 and the support 2 , to allow the passage of at least one rod 29 9 intended to be screwed into the gripping element 28 . Advantageously, the rod 29 carries a buffer 3 intended to be placed between the plate 1 and the support 2 .

Par ailleurs, tel qu'illustré à la fig. 6, le trou de passage 30 présente un diamètre en excès par rapport à celui de la tige 29, d'une valeur au moins égale à deux fois le jeu périphérique J, pour autoriser tout mouvement de la plaque dans le plan P . Il est à noter que la fig. 6 montre la plaque 1 reposant, par son chant inférieur, sur les clips 22, de sorte que son chant supérieur délimite, avec les clips correspondants, un jeu égal au double du jeu périphérique J déjà décrit.Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 6 , the through hole 30 has a diameter in excess relative to that of the rod 29 , of a value at least equal to twice the peripheral play J , to allow any movement of the plate in the plane P. Note that fig. 6 shows the plate 1 resting, by its lower edge, on the clips 22 , so that its upper edge defines, with the corresponding clips, a clearance equal to twice the peripheral clearance J already described.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown, since various modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope.
