Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable and wire protection and guiding trough, for example conveying electrical signals, along a flat wall.
  • This chute is primarily constituted by a cover connected to said wall to form a cable passage tunnel.
  • a cable guide channel is arranged both near the bottom surface of the desktop and, for ease of access, in the vicinity of the periphery of the office. Orifices are sometimes arranged in said tray, so as to benefit from the arrival of the wires and cables directly on the worktop.
  • the guide channels must allow the installation of the cables to be guided.
  • a hinge is provided to rotate at least one wall of the tunnel relative to a longitudinal axis.
  • the channel is configured to be kept open permanently, the maintenance of the cables then being provided by the configuration of the channel, or the orientation that is given to it.
  • the invention overcomes these disadvantages, by providing a cable guide chute extremely simple to build, mount and handle.
  • the trough of the invention used for protecting and guiding cables along a wall, consists of a cover connected to said wall to form a tunnel for the passage of cables, and characterized by main in that the hood is fixed to the wall by removable elastic means reminding it in contact with the latter in the closed position of the chute, at least one sole attached to the wall ensuring the positioning and orientation of the hood on said wall.
  • the cover is thus distinct from the wall, easy to remove by the release of the elastic means, and its handling for opening only consists in overcoming the return forces.
  • the soles have a positioning function that do not provide the elastic means. This is particularly the case when the wall is not horizontal, but for example rather vertical.
  • the outer surface of said sole is profiled in order to guide a transverse movement of the bonnet in contact with said surface, towards at least one raised portion with a pan allowing the bonnet to be supported. position tilted around one of its longitudinal edges, for the opening of the chute.
  • the displacement of transverse course in question is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the protection chute. It consists in sliding one of the longitudinal flanges on the surface until it comes into contact with said relief, whose pan is oriented so that, for the outer wall of the hood to come into contact with it, the user is led to tilt the latter, which is then in the open position, ready to receive cables.
  • each relief consists of a notch at least one surface is configured and oriented so that a portion of the outer surface of the hood is supported when the latter is tilted around a longitudinal flange housed in said notch, of so that the other longitudinal flange is found at a distance from the plane wall.
  • the outer surface of the sole comprises a single notch consisting of two symmetrical surfaces arranged in a V, allowing a support in the tilted position of the cover in two opposite directions of tilting .
  • the notch is disposed in the center of the sole.
  • each sole has two end sections inclined towards the wall and connected by a plane median section comprising the relief or reliefs, said median section being parallel to said wall.
  • the soleplate further comprises two end extensions supporting the longitudinal edges of the cover when in the closed position, that is to say pressed towards the wall.
  • the inclined sections and the extensions may be covered with an elastic plastic coating.
  • This coating is preferably damping and can absorb shocks possibly resulting from too abrupt reminders of the hood in contact with the soles. Secondarily, it can be provided to facilitate their mutual sliding at the opening.
  • the chute of the invention comprises two flanges arranged near the ends of the hood.
  • the chute is by definition elongate, extending for example along almost the entire length of an office.
  • the positioning of the cover relative to the wall of said office can be done easily using only two soles, provided that they are preferably disposed near the ends of the cover.
  • the elastic means consist of two tension springs each fixed respectively in the end zone of the hood and the table, the axis of said springs being disposed substantially in the longitudinal median plane of the hood.
  • These springs are for example simply hung non-definitively, using two uncifted ends for example respectively housed in a hole of the cover and hooked to a hook protruding from the wall.
  • these traction springs are each fixed respectively in the end zone of the hood and a sole in place of a fixing directly to the wall.
  • This hood can take many forms. According to one possibility, its section is U-shaped flat bottom, the parallel longitudinal sides being oriented substantially perpendicularly to the bottom.
  • the flat wall to which the cover is attached is the underside of a table top.
  • the combined choice of the stiffness of the elastic means and the configuration of the cover is such that the cover remains tilted in the open position under the effect of its weight when it is brought into contact a section of the contoured relief in the soles.
  • the hood When it is tilted in the open position, the hood is indeed oriented so that, with respect to the tilting axis, the resultant of the weight is shifted to the opening side, causing a moment which maintains, according to the hood structure and the choice of spring stiffness, the hood open.
  • the wall with which the cover cooperates is monobloc, but it may be interesting to mount a cover on several adjacent walls.
  • said wall may for example consist of two adjacent panels, at least one sole being disposed astride said panels.
  • the wall that has been discussed so far consists of a table top, and in particular a desk.
  • the trough itself that is to say the channel for guiding and protecting the cables consists of a cover (1) attached to a flat wall (2) which actually acts as a fourth wall for the chute .
  • the cover (1) is positioned on the plane wall (2) by means of flanges (3) fixed to the wall (2) and arranged near its longitudinal ends.
  • the only means for fixing the cover (1) to the plane wall (2) consist of springs (5), one of which appears at one of the longitudinal ends of the cover (1).
  • the figure 2 illustrates a possible configuration for the soles (3).
  • the upper surface (6) of the flanges (3) serves to guide a transverse movement of the cover (1), in particular to open it.
  • This upper surface (6) is symmetrical with respect to an axial median plane of the chute passing through the edge located at the bottom of the notch (7).
  • This notch (7) is the relief for positioning in support of the cover (1) in the open position, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the symmetry of the notch (7) allows to open the cover (1) also on each side.
  • the upper surface (6) also has two inclined planes (8, 8 ') facilitating the transverse guiding of the cover in order to bring one of its longitudinal flanges to the central plane portion of the surface (6) to direct it. then to the notch (7).
  • Flat end portions (9, 9 ') support the longitudinal edges of the cover (1), in the closed position of the latter on the flat surface (2).
  • the longitudinal edges are therefore not directly in contact with the plane wall (2).
  • the inclined planes (8, 8 ') and the portions (9, 9') are covered with a coating (4) damping elastic plastic, possibly facilitating the transverse movement of the cover (1).
  • the spring (5) is in this case a tension spring whose uncifted ends are simply fixed respectively in a hole (10) of the cover (1) and an outgrowth occurring in a recess (11) of the lower sole (3). ).
  • the stiffness of this spring (5) is calculated so that, if the plane wall (2) consists of the bottom wall of the table top, and the cover (1) consists of a cut and folded sheet metal, the weight of the latter is such that the chute remains open due to its own weight until the user returns the hood (1) in the position appearing in figure 4 .
  • the springs (5) arranged at both ends are centered with respect to the structure, and their stiffness is sufficient to press the cover (1) in contact with the surfaces (9, 9 ') and their coating (4). .
  • the system of the invention is therefore extremely simple, both in manufacture and assembly, the soles (3) being more numerous if the hood (1) is very long. These soles (3) are simply attached to the work plane (2) with screws embedded in orifices (12, 12 '). The assembly of the cover to the flat wall (2) then only requires fixing the ends of the springs (5), which is easy and fast.
  • the cover (1) is disposed at the junction between two plates (2, 2 ') of adjacent tables, each having a cutout (13, 13') for access to the chute from the top of the tables.
  • two flanges (3) disposed in the vicinity of the axial ends of the cover (1) are fixed simultaneously to said plates (2, 2 ').
  • the latter has a cutout (14) lateral present on each side and facilitating the handling of the cover (1), easily tilted by insertion of the hand into one of the cutouts (14).
