Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention concerne de façon générale les barres de seuil et autres éléments de bordure de revêtements de sol ou de mur.The present invention generally relates to threshold bars and other border elements of floor or wall coverings.

Exposé de l'art antérieurPresentation of the prior art

Les barres de seuil sont des éléments fixés au sol de locaux d'habitation, de bureaux ou industriels, au niveau de jonctions de deux revêtements de sol différents ou de niveaux différents. Une barre de seuil présente un intérêt à la fois fonctionnel et esthétique. Elle assure une protection des bords de revêtements de sol adjacents et masque leurs irrégularités tout en constituant une ligne de séparation nette et droite.Threshold bars are floor-standing elements of residential, office or industrial premises at junctions of two different floor coverings or levels. A threshold bar is both functional and aesthetic. It protects the edges of adjacent floor coverings and masks their irregularities while constituting a clean and straight line of separation.

D'autres éléments de bordure constituant des arrêts de bordure sont utilisés entre la limite d'un revêtement de sol et un mur également pour des raisons fonctionnelles et/ou esthétiques. Par exemple, quand le revêtement de sol est un parquet, il est souhaitable de laisser un jour entre la limite du parquet et le mur pour éviter des problèmes de dilatation. L'arrêt de bordure cache le jour et protège le bord de revêtement.Other border elements constituting edge stops are used between the boundary of a floor covering and a wall also for functional and / or aesthetic reasons. For example, when the flooring is a parquet, it is desirable to leave a day between the limit of the floor and the wall to avoid problems of expansion. The edge stop hides the day and protects the liner edge.

Des éléments de bordure sont également utilisés contre des parois, par exemple en plinthe ou en baguette de séparation de revêtements muraux.Border elements are also used against walls, for example skirting board or wall cover separating rod.

La figure 1 est une vue en coupe partielle en perspective d'une barre de seuil 2 connue, dite barre de seuil à glissière, en situation sur un sol 11 sur lequel sont déposés des revêtements de hauteur inégale, respectivement 12 et 13, par exemple une moquette et un carreau. La barre de seuil 2 a une partie supérieure apparente légèrement bombée et éventuellement elle-même peinte ou recouverte totalement ou partiellement d'un matériau pour lui donner tout aspect esthétique souhaité. La partie inférieure de la barre 2 comprend des nervures 21 et 22 en saillie définissant entre-elles et avec la partie inférieure 23 de la barre 2 une glissière longitudinale 24. Dans cette glissière peut être insérée la tête 31 d'un clou 32. Ce clou est destiné à être enfoncé dans un trou formé dans le sol 11 dans lequel a été préalablement introduit ou non une cheville 33.The figure 1 is a partial sectional view in perspective of a known threshold bar 2, called the sliding threshold bar, in a situation on a floor 11 on which are deposited unequal height coatings, respectively 12 and 13, for example a carpet and a tile. The threshold bar 2 has an apparent upper part slightly curved and possibly itself painted or covered totally or partially with a material to give it any desired aesthetic appearance. The lower part of the bar 2 comprises ribs 21 and 22 projecting defining between them and with the lower part 23 of the bar 2 a longitudinal slide 24. In this slide can be inserted the head 31 of a nail 32. This nail is intended to be driven into a hole formed in the ground 11 in which has previously been introduced or not an ankle 33.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un clou 3 illustrant une forme de tête de clou particulièrement bien adaptée à la glissière 24 de la barre 2. Cette tête 31 a la forme d'un demi-cylindre perpendiculaire à une tige 32 du clou et aplatie au côté opposé de cette tige. Ce demi-cylindre 31 forme un coulisseau apte à être glissé dans la glissière 24. Cette forme légèrement allongée des coulisseaux 31 permet d'éviter une rotation des têtes de clou et donc des tiges 32 de clou 3 dans un plan passant par l'axe longitudinal de la glissière. Ainsi, les tiges ne peuvent se coucher dans la glissière pendant la phase d'enfoncement. Dans l'exemple de la figure 3, le clou 3 est un "clou-cheville" en matière plastique muni d'ailettes 33 anti-arrachement, destiné à être enfoncé directement dans un trou ménagé dans le sol.The figure 2 is a perspective view of a nail 3 illustrating a form of nail head particularly well adapted to the slide 24 of the bar 2. This head 31 has the shape of a half-cylinder perpendicular to a rod 32 of the nail and flattened on the opposite side of this rod. This half-cylinder 31 forms a slider able to be slid into the slide 24. This slightly elongated shape of the sliders 31 makes it possible to avoid a rotation of the nail heads and thus of the nail rods 3 in a plane passing through the axis longitudinal of the slide. Thus, the rods can not lie in the slide during the driving phase. In the example of the figure 3 , the nail 3 is a "pin-peg" of plastic provided with fins 33 anti-tearing, intended to be driven directly into a hole in the ground.

Le système des figures 1 et 2 présente un avantage de simplicité de pose. En effet, il suffit de préparer dans le sol des trous en alignement sans qu'il soit nécessaire qu'ils aient entre eux des espacements rigoureux. Un nombre de clous 3 correspondant au nombre de trous est placé dans la glissière, après quoi les clous sont mis en place par glissement en face des trous correspondants puis la barre est enfoncée, en entraînant les clous. Cet enfoncement peut se faire simplement en marchant sur la barre.The system of Figures 1 and 2 has the advantage of simplicity of installation. Indeed, it is sufficient to prepare holes in alignment in the ground without it being necessary for them to have rigorous spacings between them. A number of nails 3 corresponding to the number of holes is placed in the slide, after which the nails are set up by sliding in front of the corresponding holes and then the bar is pressed, driving the nails. This depression can be done simply by walking on the bar.

Dans l'exemple des figures 1 et 2, la partie inférieure 23 de la glissière a de préférence la forme d'un V définissant une arrête d'appui 25 (figure 1) venant appuyer sensiblement au centre de la face plane supérieure de la tête 31 du clou 3. En outre, l'espace entre les lèvres en regard des nervures 21 et 22 est supérieur au diamètre de la tige 32 du clou 3. Ainsi, une fois que le clou est mis en place, et jusqu'à son enfoncement complet, la barre de seuil peut tourner légèrement autour des têtes de clou, l'axe de rotation correspondant à l'arrête d'appui 25. Ceci permet un positionnement et une fixation pour différentes hauteurs de décalage entre les revêtements 12 et 13. Comme cela est représenté en figure 1, les parois internes, vers leurs extrémités, des nervures 21 et 22 ont une forme complémentaire de l'arrondi du coulisseau 31. L'angle du V définissant l'arrête d'appui 25 est de préférence choisi pour que, quand la barre de seuil est dans une position d'inclinaison extrême, on ait simultanément un appui de la tige du clou contre l'une des lèvres des nervures 21, 22 et de la moitié supérieure de la tête de clou contre l'un des flans du V.In the example of Figures 1 and 2 , the lower part 23 of the slideway is preferably in the form of a V defining a support stop 25 ( figure 1 ) coming substantially to bear in the center of the upper flat face of the head 31 of the nail 3. In addition, the space between the lips opposite the ribs 21 and 22 is greater than the diameter of the rod 32 of the nail 3. Thus, a once the nail is put in place, and until its complete depression, the threshold bar can turn slightly around the nail heads, the axis of rotation corresponding to the support stop 25. This allows a positioning and a fixation for different shift heights between the coatings 12 and 13. As shown in FIG. figure 1 , the inner walls, towards their ends, ribs 21 and 22 have a shape complementary to the rounding of the slider 31. The angle of the V defining the bearing stop 25 is preferably chosen so that when the bar of threshold is in a position of extreme inclination, it is simultaneously a support of the nail rod against one of the lips of the ribs 21, 22 and the upper half of the nail head against one of the blanks V.

Une barre de seuil telle qu'illustrée par la figure 1 est décrite dans le brevet Européen 0 588 734 de la demanderesse.A threshold bar as illustrated by the figure 1 is described in the European patent 0 588 734 of the plaintiff.

D'autres barres de seuil à glissière sont connues qui définissent, dans leur face inférieure, une glissière adaptée à une tête de clou-vis ou de clou-cheville. Par exemple, les têtes de clou pourront avoir toute forme cylindrique souhaitée, par exemple être des cylindres à section circulaire. De même, dans un mode de réalisation simple, les tiges des clous peuvent être des tiges filetées.Other sliding threshold bars are known which define, in their lower face, a slide adapted to a nail-screw or nail-pin head. For example, the nail heads may have any desired cylindrical shape, for example circular cylinders. Similarly, in a simple embodiment, the rods of the nails may be threaded rods.

On pourra également envisager une structure inverse de celle de la figure 1 dans laquelle le fond 23 de la glissière est sensiblement plan et où c'est la tête 31 du clou qui est en forme de V convexe, l'arrête de ce V définissant un axe de rotation.We can also consider a structure opposite to that of the figure 1 wherein the bottom 23 of the slide is substantially planar and where it is the head 31 of the nail which is V-shaped convex, the stop of this V defining an axis of rotation.

Un perçage du sol ou du mur sur lequel doit être fixé l'élément de bordure n'est pas toujours possible ou souhaité. On utilise alors des éléments de bordure à coller sur la surface du revêtement.Drilling of the floor or wall on which the edge element is to be fixed is not always possible or desired. Border elements to be bonded to the surface of the coating are then used.

La figure 3 est une vue en perspective partielle d'une autre barre de seuil, dite barre de seuil collée. La barre de seuil 4 est, comme pour la barre de seuil 2 de la figure 1, destinée à masquer la ligne de séparation entre deux revêtements 13 et 12 (par exemple de hauteur inégale). L'aspect externe de la barre de seuil 4 est similaire à celui de la barre de seuil 2 et comporte donc une partie supérieure apparente légèrement bombée et éventuellement elle-même peinte ou recouverte d'un matériau pour lui donner tout aspect esthétique souhaité. La fixation de la barre de seuil 4 s'effectue par collage. Pour cela, deux cordons 41 et 42 de colle sont prédisposés en face inférieure de la barre 4 à proximité de ses bords longitudinaux. Avant pose, ces cordons sont généralement protégés par une bande papier pelable que l'utilisateur ôte pour appliquer la barre de seuil.The figure 3 is a partial perspective view of another threshold bar, called glued threshold bar. The threshold bar 4 is, as for the threshold bar 2 of the figure 1 , intended to mask the line of separation between two coatings 13 and 12 (for example of unequal height). The external appearance of the threshold bar 4 is similar to that of the threshold bar 2 and therefore comprises an upper part slightly curved and possibly itself painted or covered with a material to give it any desired aesthetic appearance. The fixing of the threshold bar 4 is done by gluing. For this, two beads 41 and 42 of adhesive are predisposed on the lower face of the bar 4 near its longitudinal edges. Before laying, these cords are generally protected by a peelable paper tape that the user removes to apply the threshold bar.

Un inconvénient des cordons de colle est qu'ils engendrent une surépaisseur qui nuit à l'esthétique. De plus, avec le temps, et le passage, les cordons de colle ont tendance à fluer, ce qui engendre un décalage de la barre de seuil ou une rupture cohésive de l'adhésif.A disadvantage of the glue beads is that they generate an extra thickness that affects the aesthetics. In addition, over time, and passage, glue beads tend to flow, resulting in a shift of the threshold bar or a cohesive failure of the adhesive.

On connaît également des solutions consistant à appliquer un adhésif double face sous une barre de seuil pour sa fixation. Une telle solution n'est toutefois applicable qu'aux barres de seuil planes. En effet, une telle bande adhésive n'adhère pas si elle placée sous une barre de seuil de hauteur variable, par exemple bombée. Par conséquent, elle n'est pas utilisable pour des barres susceptibles de s'adapter à des revêtements de hauteur variable ou inégale.Solutions are also known consisting in applying a double-sided adhesive under a threshold bar for fixing it. Such a solution is, however, applicable only to plane threshold bars. Indeed, such an adhesive strip does not adhere if it is placed under a threshold bar of variable height, for example curved. Therefore, she is not usable for bars that can adapt to uneven or variable height coatings.

Par ailleurs, dans un arrêt de bordure, comme dans une barre de seuil, l'une des difficultés est de prévoir une surface supérieure ayant un aspect optimisé, adapté aux couleurs des revêtements ou de la pièce.Moreover, in a border stop, as in a threshold bar, one of the difficulties is to provide an upper surface having an optimized appearance, adapted to the colors of the coverings or the part.

Ainsi, un fabricant de barres de seuil et d'arrêts de bordure doit développer plusieurs types de structure, dont chacun comprend un grand nombre de présentations en diverses couleurs, aspects et matériaux, ce qui entraîne des coûts de fabrication élevés. De plus ceci entraîne pour les distributeurs et vendeurs des difficultés de stockage.Thus, a manufacturer of threshold bars and edge stops must develop several types of structure, each of which includes a large number of presentations in various colors, aspects and materials, resulting in high manufacturing costs. In addition, this leads to storage difficulties for distributors and sellers.

Description détailléedetailed description

De mêmes éléments ont été désignés par de mêmes références aux différentes figures qui ont été tracées sans respect d'échelle. Par souci de clarté, seuls les éléments utiles à la compréhension de l'invention ont été représentés et seront décrits. En particulier, la fabrication des profilés des éléments de bordure auxquels s'applique plus particulièrement la présente invention n'a pas été détaillée, l'invention étant compatible avec les profilés usuels. De plus, l'invention sera décrite par la suite en relation avec un exemple de montage d'une barre de seuil à glissière en arrêt de bordure mais les modes de réalisation qui vont être décrits s'appliquent plus généralement que la barre de seuil soit ou non à glissière. En outre, l'invention sera décrite en relation avec un exemple de barre de seuil bombée, mais elle s'applique plus généralement à tout élément de bordure.The same elements have been designated by the same references to the different figures that have been drawn without respect of scale. For the sake of clarity, only the elements useful for understanding the invention have been shown and will be described. In particular, the manufacture of the profiles of the edge elements to which the present invention is more particularly applied is not detailed, the invention being compatible with the usual profiles. In addition, the invention will be described later in connection with an example of mounting a threshold bar slider edge stop but the embodiments that will be described apply more generally that the threshold bar is or not to slide. In addition, the invention will be described in connection with an example of curved threshold bar, but it applies more generally to any border element.

On utilisera par la suite les termes d'orientation et de position "dessus", "dessous", "inférieur", supérieur" etc., en se référant arbitrairement à un élément de bordure en position horizontale d'utilisation sur un sol.The terms "top", "bottom", "bottom", "top", etc. will then be used with arbitrary reference to an edge member in a horizontal position for use on a floor.

La figure 4 est une vue en perspective partielle d'un mode de réalisation d'une barre de seuil 5 à coller.The figure 4 is a partial perspective view of an embodiment of a threshold bar 5 to be bonded.

Comme précédemment, la barre de seuil 5 comporte, dans cet exemple, une face supérieure 51 apparente légèrement bombée et éventuellement peinte, teinte, ou totalement ou partiellement recouverte d'un matériau pour lui donner tout aspect esthétique souhaité. Le plus souvent la barre de seuil 5 est en aluminium.As previously, the threshold bar 5 comprises, in this example, an upper surface 51 slightly convex and possibly painted, dyed, or totally or partially covered with a material to give it any desired aesthetic appearance. Most often the threshold bar 5 is aluminum.

En face intérieure, deux bandes de collage sont rapportées à proximité des bords de la barre de seuil. Chaque bande est formée d'une bande 6 ou feuille adhésive simple face pliée longitudinalement (pli 61) de sorte que les faces adhésives soient exclusivement à l'extérieur de la forme en V obtenue. Une première demi-bande 63, arbitrairement supérieure, de chaque bande 6g, 6d est pré-collée de chaque côté de la face inférieure de la barre de seuil 5, le pli du V dirigé vers l'extérieur. Un film de protection (non représenté), par exemple un papier pelable, est conservé avant pose de façon à protéger l'adhésif de la demi-bande inférieure 62 destinée à être fixée au sol.On the inside, two bonding strips are attached near the edges of the threshold bar. Each strip is formed of a strip 6 or single-sided adhesive sheet folded longitudinally (fold 61) so that the adhesive faces are exclusively outside the resulting V-shape. An arbitrarily higher first half-band 63 of each band 6g, 6d is pre-glued on each side of the lower face of the threshold bar 5, the fold of the V directed outwards. A protective film (not shown), for example a peelable paper, is preserved before laying so as to protect the adhesive from the lower half-band 62 to be fixed to the ground.

En pratique, la bande 6 est formée d'une feuille support revêtue d'une fine pellicule de colle puis d'un film de protection. Pour sa mise en oeuvre en face inférieure d'une barre de seuil, cette feuille adhésive est pliée en deux et le film protecteur est, de préférence, prédécoupé longitudinalement pour autoriser un pré-collage d'une bande de la feuille contre la face inférieure de la barre de seuil (de préférence en usine). De préférence, la bande 6 est légèrement rentrée par rapport au bord de la barre pour éviter toute surépaisseur.In practice, the strip 6 is formed of a support sheet coated with a thin film of adhesive and a protective film. For its implementation on the lower face of a threshold bar, this adhesive sheet is folded in two and the protective film is preferably precut longitudinally to allow pre-bonding of a strip of the sheet against the underside threshold bar (preferably in the factory). Preferably, the strip 6 is slightly retracted relative to the edge of the bar to avoid any extra thickness.

Pour une pose en barre de seuil, l'utilisateur ôte les bandes de protection des deux côtés de la barre et applique celle-ci au sol. De façon surprenante, le pliage de la feuille 6 lui confère un effet ressort, qui bien que léger est suffisant pour, à l'aide de l'adhésif, plaquer la bande libre 62 au sol. Cet effet est amélioré si, lors de la pose, l'utilisateur retire progressivement les bandes de protection longitudinalement au fur et à mesure de la pose. Le cas échéant, l'utilisateur pourra coller d'abord l'un des deux côtés et le maroufler, puis coller le second comme décrit ci-dessus.For a threshold bar installation, the user removes the protective strips on both sides of the bar and applies it to the floor. Surprisingly, the folding of the sheet 6 gives it a spring effect, which although light is sufficient to, with the aid of the adhesive, press the free band 62 to the ground. This effect is improved if, during installation, the user gradually withdraws the protection strips longitudinally as and when laying. If necessary, the user can first glue one of the two sides and rub it, then glue the second as described above.

Une fois la barre de seuil collée, une pression appliquée sur celle-ci écrase le pli et supprime toute surépaisseur.Once the threshold bar is glued, a pressure applied on it crushes the fold and removes any extra thickness.

Le matériau support de la pellicule adhésive peut être une feuille de papier ou de matière plastique. L'usage d'une matière plastique présente l'avantage de lui conférer une résistance supplémentaire et un meilleur effet ressort lors de la pose. En variante, on pourra utiliser d'autres matériaux, par exemple une feuille métallique ou composite.The backing material of the adhesive film may be a sheet of paper or plastic. The use of a plastic material has the advantage of giving it additional strength and a better spring effect during installation. Alternatively, other materials may be used, for example a metal or composite sheet.

Le cas échéant, les demi-bandes fixées au profilé sont un prolongement d'un revêtement de sa face supérieure. Ces prolongements habituellement rabattus et collés contre la barre sont ici à l'inverse adhérents sur leur face externe. Selon une autre variante non représentée, la demi-bande 63 d'une bande pliée du type de celle représentée en figure 4 est intercalée entre le revêtement et le profilé de la barre 5.Where appropriate, the half-strips attached to the profile are an extension of a coating of its upper face. These extensions usually folded and glued against the bar are here conversely adherent on their outer face. According to another variant not shown, the half-band 63 of a folded strip of the type represented in FIG. figure 4 is interposed between the coating and the profile of the bar 5.

Un avantage du pli 61 (qu'il soit sur la bande 6 ou au niveau des rabats du revêtement) est qu'il autorise une épaisseur relativement importante d'adhésif à partir du moment où la bande ou demi-bande adhésive est, en section, légèrement décalée du bord de la barre. Aucune surépaisseur ne subsiste alors après collage.An advantage of the fold 61 (whether it is on the strip 6 or at the level of the flaps of the coating) is that it allows a relatively large thickness of adhesive from the moment when the adhesive strip or half-strip is, in section slightly off the edge of the bar. No extra thickness then remains after bonding.

La figure 5 est une vue en coupe et en situation d'une barre de seuil à coller du type de celle de la figure 4, montée en arrêt de bordure.The figure 5 is a sectional view in situ of a threshold bar to be glued of the type of that of the figure 4 , climb to edge stop.

En figure 5, la barre de seuil 5 est équipée en face interne, de nervures 21 et 22 définissant une glissière 24 autorisant un montage à l'aide de clou-vis ou de clou-cheville (3, figure 2). Cette variante illustre la possibilité de réaliser une barre de seuil mixte, à coller et à glissière. On simplifie ainsi les gammes de distribution des barres de seuil ou éléments de bordure analogues. L'utilisateur peut au choix, fixer la barre par l'intermédiaire de sa glissière, la coller, ou les deux, ou encore utiliser cette barre 5 en arrêt de bordure collé.In figure 5 , the threshold bar 5 is equipped on the internal face, ribs 21 and 22 defining a slide 24 allowing mounting with nail-screw or nail-pin (3, figure 2 ). This variant illustrates the possibility of producing a mixed threshold bar, glue and slide. This simplifies the distribution ranges of the threshold bars or similar edge elements. The user can choose, fix the bar through its slide, glue, or both, or use the bar 5 in stuck border border.

La barre de seuil 5 est alors collée en bordure d'un revêtement 12 de sol 11 le long d'un mur 15.The threshold bar 5 is then glued to the edge of a floor covering 12 along a wall 15.

Plusieurs cales ponctuelles 9 (au moins deux) sont réparties dans la longueur de la barre de seuil, le long du mur 15 pour éviter son basculement dans l'intervalle 17 entre le bord du revêtement de sol 12 et le mur 15.Several point shims 9 (at least two) are distributed in the length of the threshold bar, along the wall 15 to prevent it from tilting in the gap 17 between the edge of the floor covering 12 and the wall 15.

La figure 6 est une vue en perspective d'une cale 9 du système de la figure 5.The figure 6 is a perspective view of a wedge 9 of the system of the figure 5 .

Une cale 9 comporte un pied 92 destiné à reposer au sol et une tête 94 définissant une pince ouverte vers le haut. L'ouverture verticale de la pince forme une fente 942 de réception de la partie libre 62 de la bande 6d adhésive de la barre 5.A shim 9 has a foot 92 for resting on the ground and a head 94 defining a clamp open upwards. The vertical opening of the clip forms a slot 942 for receiving the free portion 62 of the adhesive strip 6d of the bar 5.

Le pied 92 est de préférence recoupable à différentes hauteurs pour s'adapter à différentes hauteurs de revêtement de sol. Par exemple, il comporte des zones de moindre épaisseur (par exemple des rainures 922 de fragilisation horizontales), réparties dans la hauteur du pied et constituant des zones de rupture cassables à des hauteurs souhaitées. En variante, le pied 92 comportera des repères de hauteur simplifiant la découpe de cette portion en vue de son ajustement à l'épaisseur d'un revêtement.The foot 92 is preferably cut to different heights to accommodate different heights of flooring. For example, it comprises zones of lesser thickness (for example horizontal grooves 922 of embrittlement), distributed in the height of the foot and constituting breakable rupture zones at desired heights. Alternatively, the foot 92 will include height marks simplifying the cutting of this portion for its adjustment to the thickness of a coating.

La longueur (dans la direction du profilé) de la cale 9 est, par exemple, de quelques centimètres. Son épaisseur est, de préférence, inférieure à deux centimètres, par exemple d'une valeur comprise entre 0,8 et 1,4 centimètre, pour autoriser un montage sur de larges gammes d'intervalles entre bord de revêtement et mur.The length (in the direction of the profile) of the shim 9 is, for example, a few centimeters. Its thickness is preferably less than two centimeters, for example a value between 0.8 and 1.4 cm, to allow mounting over wide ranges of gaps between the liner edge and wall.

Les cales 9 sont, de préférence, obtenues par moulage ou injection de matière plastique.The shims 9 are preferably obtained by molding or injection of plastic material.

La figure 7 est une vue en perspective illustrant la mise en place d'un système d'arrêt de bordure utilisant la barre de seuil de la figure 4 et des cales 9 telles que représentées en figure 6. Pour clarifier la représentation, la barre de seuil 5 est représentée en transparence avec ses contours en pointillés.The figure 7 is a perspective view illustrating the establishment of a border stop system using the threshold bar of the figure 4 and shims 9 as represented in figure 6 . To clarify the representation, the threshold bar 5 is represented in transparency with its dashed outlines.

La mise en place de l'arrêt de bordure s'effectue de la façon suivante. L'opérateur ôte la feuille de protection de la portion 62 d'une des bandes (par exemple, 6d) de la barre de seuil. Puis, il positionne plusieurs cales 9, de façon disjointe, de préférence à intervalles réguliers. Pour cela, il engage la bande adhésive 62 dans la fente de la tête de la cale et exerce une pression sur les bras ou mâchoires de la tête. Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 6, la mâchoire externe 944 (destinée à être plaquée au mur) est plus fine que la mâchoire interne 946. Cela plaque la face adhésive de la portion 62 contre la face interne de la mâchoire externe 944. Une fois les cales 9 collées à l'élément de bordure 5, l'opérateur le met en place en faisant reposer les cales au sol 11 et en plaquant (en collant) la portion adhésive 62 située entre les cales 9 contre le mur 15. Cet appui de l'adhésif peut être effectué à la main ou à l'aide d'une spatule ou d'un outil à maroufler. Les cales 9 sont ainsi maintenues contre le mur par le collage du reste de la bande 6d. Une fois la bande 6d collée, la barre de seuil est rabattue contre le revêtement de sol (en ôtant la pellicule protectrice) où sa bande 6g assure le collage.The implementation of the border stop is carried out as follows. The operator removes the protective sheet from portion 62 of one of the strips (e.g., 6d) of the threshold bar. Then, it positions several shims 9, disjointly, preferably at regular intervals. For this, it engages the adhesive tape 62 in the slot of the head of the hold and exerts pressure on the arms or jaws of the head. In the embodiment of the figure 6 , the outer jaw 944 (intended to be plated on the wall) is thinner than the inner jaw 946. This clings the adhesive face of the portion 62 against the inner face of the outer jaw 944. Once the shims 9 are glued to the 5, the operator places it in place by resting the shims on the ground 11 and plating (by sticking) the adhesive portion 62 located between the wedges 9 against the wall 15. This support of the adhesive can be performed by hand or with a spatula or a marbling tool. The wedges 9 are thus held against the wall by gluing the rest of the band 6d. Once the band 6d glued, the threshold bar is folded against the floor covering (by removing the protective film) where its band 6g ensures the bonding.

La cale 9 empêche la barre de seuil de basculer dans l'intervalle 17 entre le bord du revêtement et le mur.Wedge 9 prevents the threshold bar from tipping in the gap 17 between the edge of the liner and the wall.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, représenté aux figures et adapté à une barre de seuil bombée, les deux mâchoires 944 et 946 sont de hauteurs différentes et fonction de la courbure de la barre de seuil de sorte que l'extrémité libre de la mâchoire interne 946 est en contact avec la face interne de la barre. De préférence, l'extrémité libre de la mâchoire interne 946 se termine en biseau (pan coupé) dirigé vers le mur. Cela améliore la tenue de la cale 9 en conférant un effet anti-basculement.In the preferred embodiment, shown in the figures and adapted to a curved threshold bar, the two Jaws 944 and 946 are of different heights and function of the curvature of the threshold bar so that the free end of the inner jaw 946 is in contact with the inner face of the bar. Preferably, the free end of the inner jaw 946 ends in bevel (cutaway) directed towards the wall. This improves the hold of the shim 9 by imparting an anti-tilt effect.

Dans le cas d'une barre de seuil à glissière, la glissière repose (figure 5) ou non sur le revêtement de sol 12 selon l'importance de l'écart 17 entre le bord du revêtement et le mur 15 et selon l'importance du bombé de la barre.In the case of a sliding threshold bar, the slide rests ( figure 5 ) or not on the floor covering 12 according to the importance of the gap 17 between the edge of the coating and the wall 15 and the importance of the bulge of the bar.

La figure 8 est une vue en coupe et en situation d'un autre mode de réalisation de barre de seuil 5' à coller, montée en élément de bordure à l'aide de cales 9.The figure 8 is a sectional view in situ of another embodiment of threshold bar 5 'to be glued, mounted as an edge element by means of wedges 9.

La barre de seuil 5' est un profilé monobloc définissant, en section, une portion centrale 64 et deux ailes latérales 7 articulées à cette portion centrale. La portion centrale 64 a, dans cet exemple, une face supérieure apparente légèrement bombée et éventuellement peinte, teinte, ou totalement ou partiellement recouverte d'un matériau pour lui donner tout aspect esthétique souhaité.The threshold bar 5 'is a one-piece profile defining, in section, a central portion 64 and two lateral wings 7 hinged to this central portion. The central portion 64 has, in this example, an upper surface slightly convex and possibly painted, dyed, or totally or partially covered with a material to give it any desired aesthetic appearance.

Les ailes 7 sont destinées à être repliées sous la portion centrale 64 en reposant par leurs faces inférieures (en position repliée) sur les revêtements de sol ou de mur. Chaque aile 7 est adhésive par cette face inférieure. Par exemple, des cordons de colle non représentés sont rapportés sur ces faces de collage en étant temporairement protégés par un film. Selon un autre exemple, des bandes adhésives double-face 8 sont rapportées sur les faces inférieures des ailes 7. Une bande de protection, par exemple un papier ou film pelable non représenté, est conservée avant pose de façon à protéger l'adhésif 8 avant fixation de la barre de seuil.The wings 7 are intended to be folded under the central portion 64 by resting by their lower faces (in folded position) on the floor or wall coverings. Each wing 7 is adhesive by this lower face. For example, unrepresented adhesive strands are reported on these bonding faces by being temporarily protected by a film. In another example, double-sided adhesive strips 8 are attached to the lower faces of the wings 7. A protective strip, for example a paper or peelable film not shown, is preserved before laying so as to protect the adhesive 8 before fixing of the threshold bar.

Une portion de liaison 65 formant charnière relie chaque aile 7 à la portion centrale 64. De préférence, cette portion de liaison 65 forme un V dirigé vers l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire vers la portion centrale quand les ailes sont repliées. En pratique, l'épaisseur de la portion de liaison 65 est inférieure à celles de la portion centrale et des ailes, l'épaisseur des ailes étant préférentiellement inférieure à celle de la portion centrale.A hinge connecting portion 65 connects each flange 7 to the central portion 64. Preferably, this connecting portion 65 forms a V directed inwards, that is to say towards the central portion when the wings are folded. In practice, the thickness of the connecting portion 65 is less than that of the central portion and the wings, the thickness of the wings being preferably less than that of the central portion.

La barre de seuil 5' est monobloc et en matière plastique ou autre matière déformable, par exemple en PVC et est, de préférence, obtenue par extrusion. La matière constitutive de la barre de seuil monobloc pourra également être composite, par exemple un plastique chargé par des éléments ponctuels (grains) d'une autre nature (par exemple, du sable, du métal, etc.). Selon une autre variante, la barre de seuil est métallique.The threshold bar 5 'is monobloc and plastic or other deformable material, for example PVC and is preferably obtained by extrusion. The material constituting the one-piece threshold bar may also be composite, for example a plastic loaded with point elements (grains) of another nature (for example, sand, metal, etc.). According to another variant, the threshold bar is metallic.

La pose de l'élément de bordure 5' s'effectue comme pour ceux des figures 4, 5 et 7. La forme donnée aux portions de liaison 65 leur confère un effet ressort, qui bien que léger est suffisant pour, à l'aide de l'adhésif 8, plaquer les ailes 7 au sol et contre la mâchoire 944. Cet effet est amélioré si, lors de la pose, l'utilisateur retire progressivement les bandes de protection longitudinalement au fur et à mesure de la pose. Dans l'exemple de la figure 8, on suppose que le pied 92 des cales a été réduit à sa hauteur minimum.The laying of the edge element 5 'is carried out as for those of Figures 4, 5 and 7 . The shape given to the connecting portions 65 gives them a spring effect, which, although light, is sufficient for, using the adhesive 8, to press the flanges 7 to the ground and against the jaw 944. This effect is improved if, during installation, the user gradually withdraws the protective strips longitudinally as and when laying. In the example of the figure 8 it is assumed that the foot 92 of the shims has been reduced to its minimum height.

Une fois la barre de seuil 5' collée, une pression appliquée sur celle-ci écrase la charnière et supprime toute surépaisseur, l'épaisseur des ailes 7 étant absorbée dans l'espace interne défini par la forme bombée de la portion centrale. La portion centrale 64 repose alors par ses bords sur le sol.Once the threshold bar 5 'is glued, a pressure applied on it crushes the hinge and eliminates any extra thickness, the thickness of the wings 7 being absorbed in the internal space defined by the convex shape of the central portion. The central portion 64 then rests by its edges on the ground.

Un avantage des ailes de collage est qu'elles autorisent une épaisseur relativement importante d'adhésif à partir du moment où elles sont en section légèrement décalées du bord de la barre. Aucune surépaisseur ne subsiste alors après collage.An advantage of gluing wings is that they allow a relatively large thickness of adhesive from the moment they are in section slightly offset from the edge of the bar. No extra thickness then remains after bonding.

Divers modes de réalisation ont été décrits, diverses variantes et modifications apparaitront à l'homme de l'art. En particulier, le choix des matériaux constitutifs des bandes adhésives ou des cordons de colle est à la portée de l'homme du métier à partir des indications fonctionnelles données ci-dessus et de l'application. De même, les dimensions (largeur des bandes) de collage pourront être adaptées en fonction des largeurs des éléments de bordure et de la profondeur de la fente 942.Various embodiments have been described, various variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art. In In particular, the choice of materials constituting the adhesive strips or glue beads is within the abilities of those skilled in the art from the functional indications given above and from the application. Likewise, the dimensions (width of the bands) of gluing can be adapted according to the widths of the edge elements and the depth of the slot 942.

Par ailleurs, les dimensions à donner aux cales d'appui sont à la portée de l'homme du métier à partir des indications fonctionnelles données ci-dessus.Moreover, the dimensions to be given to the support wedges are within the abilities of those skilled in the art from the functional indications given above.
