Definitions

  • a partition or similar structure without sound bridge including a plurality of interconnected uprights and crosspieces forming a resistant structure and delimiting a plurality of openings, a plurality of panels applied against said structure via sound insulating strips and covering said openings, a plurality of clipping elements fastened on said structure, said clipping elements having a hooking part on either side and being made of a sound insulating material, and a plurality of butt-covers having each two hooking ribs, said butt-covers being fixed on said clipping elements in such a manner that their hooking ribs cooperate with said hooking parts of said clipping elements and that they make contact with said panels via other sound insulating strips said panels being thus fastened on said structure, said hooking ribs having such a length that they do not make contact with said structure 'when the butt-covers are fixed on said clipping elements.
  • the present invention concerns the technology of all kinds of partitions and similar constructions belonging to the type consisting in principle of a resistance framework formed by uprights and cross-pieces onto which are fastened the fixed and mobile filling elements, such construc tions being hereafter referred to as partitions in general.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide such partitions or similar constructions, of the type consisting of the combination of a resistant structure made of uprights and cross-pieces, of panels applied against said resistant structure and of butt-covers for fastening said panels onto said structure, in which the uprights and the cross-pieces consist of box-like sections provided with continous front faces and rear faces onto which are fastened in line small elements made, at least in part, of a material which has good sound insulating properties, and helping for fixing and supporting th panels by the butt-covers.
  • the sections intended for forming the uprights and cross-pieces may consist of simple tubular elements either open or closed, of which the four faces are disposed along mutually orthogonal planes, without any protruding part.
  • these sections may have the shape of a tubular element of square cross-section of which two parallel faces are open along their middle part while the two other parallel faces are united by at least one rigid web, whereby two .such parallel webs generally are dividing lengthwise said tubular sections into three adjacent compartments in such a way that the median compartment is entirely closed and that the two side compartments are open.
  • the insulating elements of small size, generally are of two clearly distinct types: the function of the first is to "ice make possible the clipping of the butt-strips, While the second fulfills the function of small brackets for supporting panels and glass panes.
  • these two functionally very different elements can be made integral.
  • the uprights and cross-pieces are generally prepared in the workshop by fastening thereto, in the correct position and alignment, said clipping and supporting elements.
  • the uprights and cross-pieces are assembled so as to form the framework of the partition or similar structure; the panels are supported by individual underlying bracket andthe construction is finished by fastening the butt-strips in the usual way.
  • each constituent element of the partition or similar structure is specifically designed for its proper function, and hence is also made of an adequate material.

  • the continuous faces 9-12 are intended to form the front and back faces of the framework. These faces may have, in their median longitudinal planes, holes 19 which may be tapped, whose diameters will be determined by the characteristics of the fastening elements provided for uniting to said section the additional clipping and supporting elements forming the essential characteristic features of the present invention.
  • the clipping elements such as indicated in FIGURES 2, 3 and 13 are fastened in line and at a convenient distance on the uprights 20 (FIGURES 2 and 13) and on the cross-pieces 21 (FIG- URES 3 and 13).
  • an insulating clipping element 22 may simply consist of a small prismatic block 23 of insulating material of which the two lower longitudinal edges are provided with a shoulder 24-25 respectively.
  • this prismatic block has three hollows, 26-27-28, of which the bottom extends into two coaxial holes of different diameters 29-30, 31-32, 33-34 respectively.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to fasten the clipping elements 22 by means of one, two or three screws.
  • the bottom of the prismatic elements 23 has, in the present instance, two blind holes 35-36 provided for fastening, if need be, of a removable base.
  • a base 37 is, by way of example, illustrated in FIGURES 8 and 9.
  • This little plate 38 consists of a little plate 38, in the present instance of rectangular shape, of which the width L is larger than the width L1 of the prismatic element to which it must be connected.
  • This little plate is provided with three holes 39-40-41 corresponding to the holes -32-34 respectively of the base of the prismatic element 23, and with two projections, 42-43, corresponding to the blind holes -36 of the prismatic elements 23.
  • the height H of the projections 42-43 is slightly less than the depth P of said blind holes.
  • the clipping elements 22 can thus be used either With or without the base 37.
  • brackets 44 may consist of simple lengths of angle-pieces made of some insulating material and fastened onto the cross-pieces by any appropriate means, so as to for-m a Support for the overlying panel or glass pane.
  • brackets may however preferably be made as illustrated in FIGURES 10, 11 and 12.
  • the free edge of the horizontal branch, of length L2 is provided with a rib 45.
  • the other branch is provided with holes 46 of which the relative position and dimensions correspond respectively to the holes 30-32-34, and to the projections 47 corresponding, both with respect to their relative position and dimensions, to the blind holes 35-36 of the clipping element 22.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to connect favourably a bracket 44' with such a clipping element 22.
  • this butt-strip mainly consists of an actual joint-cover 49 and of two parallel ribs 50-51 shaped so as to for-m a fastening clip.
  • FIGURES 13, 14, 17 and 18 An application is represented in its essential elements in FIGURES 13, 14, 17 and 18.
  • the resistance structure has been brought about by assembling uprights 20 and cross-pieces 21.
  • the uprights 20 are Provided on their front and rear faces, with clipping elements 22, while the cross-pieces 21 are provided, both on their front and on their rear face, with clipping elements 22 and brackets 44.
  • the panels 52 are applied against said front and rear faces of the uprights and cross-pieces by resting on the underlying brackets 44, i.e., on the brackets which are fastened to the cross-piece against which the lowest edge of the panel is applied.
  • Butt-strips 48 are hooked by pressure to the clipping elements 22.
  • the width L of the base 37 of the clipping elements 22 must be larger than the distance L3 separating the outer faces of the hooking ribs 50-51 of the buttstrips 48. Moreover, this width L is smaller than the distance L4 separating the edges of the two adjacent panels 52. As these latter are in contact respectively with the sections 1 and the butt-strips 48 by means of strips 53 of insulating material, it should be noted that there is, in neither part of the construction, any continuity between the superposed metal elements, which means that the entire structure is devoid of any sound bridge.
  • the butt-strips 48 comprise, with respect to the elements 22, three levels of support represented respectively in 54-55-56.
  • the openings 15-18 of the sections 1 are obstructed by elastic strips 57. It is also possible, as illustrated in FIGURE 15, to replace these obstruction strips 57 by butt-strips 48 co-operating with clipping blocks 22 but without the base 37.
  • brackets 44 fastened onto the underlying cross-pieces at each panel or glass pane shall also be determined in function of the load imposed by said panels or glass panes. It will be possible to apply onto said underlying cross-pieces, either hooking elements of individual brackets, or combined elements as described above.
  • bracket 60 may consist of a small L-shaped part comprising two branches 61-62, whereby the latter has a hook-shaped extension 63.

  • this bracket 60 can also be made of a compound of metal and plastic material.
  • a hole 64 into which the hook-shaped extension 63 is introduced whereby said bracket rests on the front face of the upright 20* by the inner edge of branch 61. In this position, the second branch 62 sets itself automatically into the horizontal position.
