La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de suspension interchangeable. The present invention relates to an interchangeable suspension device.

On entend par dispositif de suspension un crochet ou un bras pouvant retenir des objets, par exemple un cendrier ou des vêtements, le dispositif étant fixé rigidement sur un plan vertical. By suspension device is meant a hook or an arm capable of retaining objects, for example an ashtray or clothes, the device being rigidly fixed on a vertical plane.

Dans les établissements publics, on a constaté très souvent que les dispositifs de suspension, en particulier les crochets, sont cassés par des charges excessives ou tout simplement sont détériorés par des personnes cherchant un défoulement destructeur anonyme. In public establishments, it has very often been found that the suspension devices, in particular the hooks, are broken by excessive loads or are simply deteriorated by people seeking an anonymous destructive release.

Pour remédier à ces états de fait, il a été nécessaire de prévoir des dispositifs de suspension fortement renforcés dont la fixation ne peut pas être atteinte par les personnes utilisatrices, ces moyens engendrant dès lors un prix excessif et un outillage sophistiqué de montage. To remedy these facts, it was necessary to provide highly reinforced suspension devices whose attachment cannot be achieved by the users, these means therefore generating an excessive price and sophisticated assembly tools.

Le dispositif de suspension objet de la présente invention remédie totalement aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus par l'apport d'une partie mobile interchangeable ne nécessitant aucun outil de montage et dont la particularité réside, d'une part, dans sa construction pourvue d'au moins une amorce de rupture et, d'autre part, dans le mécanisme de verrouillage qui permet un montage instantané et une éjection rapide du guidage après cassure du crochet dans la phase de montage d'une nouvelle partie mobile. The suspension device which is the subject of the present invention completely overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above by the provision of an interchangeable movable part which does not require any mounting tool and whose particularity resides, on the one hand, in its construction provided with at least one initiation of rupture and, on the other hand, in the locking mechanism which allows instant mounting and rapid ejection of the guide after breakage of the hook in the assembly phase of a new mobile part.

Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins une partie mobile pourvue d'une rainure de verrouillage transversale coopérant avec un élément-ressort monté fixe sur un support dont la partie centrale avant présente un évidement longitudinal qui permet le coulissement de la partie mobile dans la phase de montage et d'éjection. The device is characterized in that it comprises at least one movable part provided with a transverse locking groove cooperating with a spring element fixedly mounted on a support, the front central part of which has a longitudinal recess which allows the part to slide. mobile in the assembly and ejection phase.

La fig. 5 montre une vue en profil d'une variante d'exécution se rapportant à la partie mobile. Fig. 5 shows a profile view of an alternative embodiment relating to the mobile part.

On va maintenant décrire en regard des fig. 1 et 2 le dispositif de suspension objet de l'invention, qui comprend un support 1 monté fixe contre une paroi non représentée, au moyen de vis noyées dans les chambrages 2. La partie avant 3 du support 1 est usinée de manière à présenter des rails 4-5 formant une ouverture 6. Une languette 7 est rabattue sur l'avant en faisant fonction de ressort, tandis que la partie supérieure 8 de la languette 7 est encore pourvue d'un chanfrein 9 permettant les déblocages (fig. 3-4) d'une partie mobile 12 qui comprend un guidage 13 dont la partie supérieure 14 présente une rainure transversale 15 permettant le verrouillage du doigt 16 venu d'une pièce avec la languette 7. We will now describe with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 the suspension device which is the subject of the invention, which comprises a support 1 fixedly mounted against a wall not shown, by means of screws embedded in the recesses 2. The front part 3 of the support 1 is machined so as to present rails 4-5 forming an opening 6. A tongue 7 is folded down on the front, acting as a spring, while the upper part 8 of the tongue 7 is still provided with a chamfer 9 allowing the releases (fig. 3- 4) of a movable part 12 which comprises a guide 13, the upper part 14 of which has a transverse groove 15 allowing the locking of the finger 16 coming in one piece with the tongue 7.

Le guidage 13 est encore pourvu d'un chanfrein 18 qui coopère avec le chanfrein 9 se trouvant sur le doigt 16 de la languette 7. La partie mobile 12 présente. comme le montre explicitement la fig. 3, un bras 20 courbé vers le haut sous la forme d'un crochet et muni de deux parois latérales 21-22 qui sont munies d'amorces de rupture 2324 se trouvant sur le même plan qu'une autre amorce de rupture 25 usinée sur le haut du bras 20. Les amorces de rupture 23-24-25 sont calculées de manière à permettre un effort de suspension variant entre 20 et 50 kg: dès l'instant où l'utilisateur provoque une surcharge destructrice, le bras 20 casse en laissant uniquement la partie de guidage 13 dans le support 1. The guide 13 is also provided with a chamfer 18 which cooperates with the chamfer 9 located on the finger 16 of the tongue 7. The movable part 12 has. as shown in fig. 3, an arm 20 bent upwards in the form of a hook and provided with two side walls 21-22 which are provided with rupture initiators 2324 lying on the same plane as another rupture initiator 25 machined on the upper arm 20. The breaking points 23-24-25 are calculated so as to allow a suspension force varying between 20 and 50 kg: from the moment the user causes a destructive overload, the arm 20 breaks in leaving only the guide part 13 in the support 1.

Il suffira donc au propriétaire des lieux d'introduire par le haut, selon le sens de la flèche A, une nouvelle partie mobile 12 dont le chanfrein 18 ouvre le doigt 16 et éjecte instantanément l'ancienne pièce de guidage 13 dans la direction de la flèche B, la nouvelle partie mobile 12 étant à nouveau verrouillée au moyen du doigt 16 pour une utilisation limitée. It will therefore suffice for the owner of the premises to introduce from the top, in the direction of the arrow A, a new movable part 12 whose chamfer 18 opens the finger 16 and instantly ejects the old guide piece 13 in the direction of the arrow B, the new mobile part 12 being again locked by means of finger 16 for limited use.

Dans une variante d'exécution (fig. 5). la partie mobile 30 comprend un guidage 31, une rainure latérale 32 et un bras en porte à faux 33 qui présente, au niveau de sa base 34, une amorce de rupture 35 pouvant être calculée pour répondre à une charge lente ou violente. In an alternative embodiment (fig. 5). the movable part 30 comprises a guide 31, a lateral groove 32 and a cantilever arm 33 which has, at its base 34, a breaking point 35 which can be calculated to respond to a slow or violent load.

Il va sans dire que la partie mobile 30 peut très bien s'apparenter à une plaque de posage pour un cendrier, à un support d'outil, au domaine médical, ou à celui des sports en général. It goes without saying that the mobile part 30 can very well resemble a plate for placing an ashtray, a tool holder, the medical field, or that of sports in general.

On rappellera que la languette 7, respectivement le doigt 16 seront, dans une autre variante d'exécution, séparés longitudinalement par une rainure centrale de manière à éviter, lorsqu'on introduit un objet dans l'ouverture 6, un déverrouillage prématuré de la partie mobile 12. It will be recalled that the tongue 7, respectively the finger 16 will, in another alternative embodiment, separated longitudinally by a central groove so as to avoid, when an object is introduced into the opening 6, premature unlocking of the part mobile 12.
