Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à un profilé de fixation d'au moins un appareil électrique ayant une section transversale conformée pour délimiter une cavité communiquant avec l'extérieur par au moins une ouverture longitudinale ménagée dans une face principale du profilé.The invention relates to a fastening section of at least one electrical device having a cross section shaped to delimit a cavity communicating with the outside by at least one longitudinal opening formed in a main face of the profile.

État de la techniqueState of the art

Il existe dans le domaine des vitrines de présentation des profilés destinés à suspendre des panneaux d'affichage rétro-éclairés comme l'illustre la figure 1. Le profilé 1 comporte sur une face principale 2 une ouverture longitudinale 3. L'ouverture longitudinale 3 débouche dans une cavité longitudinale 4 dont la forme est sensiblement rectangulaire, et dont la largeur est supérieure à la largeur de l'ouverture 3. Cette cavité 4 est destinée à recevoir des éléments de support 5. Un élément de support 5 comporte classiquement une platine 6 munie d'un trou débouchant 7 au niveau d'une zone centrale de la platine 6, ledit trou débouchant étant fileté. La platine 6 est, de préférence, dimensionnée de sorte qu'elle puisse s'insérer dans la cavité 4 tout en gardant le trou 7 en regard de l'ouverture 3. L'élément de support 5 comporte en outre un corps principal 8 allongé muni à une extrémité une tige filetée 9 destinée à être vissée dans le trou 7 de la platine 6. Le corps principal 8 comporte à une extrémité opposée à la tige fileté un câble 10.There are in the field of showcasing profiles for suspending backlit billboards as illustrated by the figure 1 . The profile 1 comprises on a main face 2 a longitudinal opening 3. The longitudinal opening 3 opens into a longitudinal cavity 4 whose shape is substantially rectangular, and whose width is greater than the width of the opening 3. This cavity 4 is intended to receive support elements 5. A support member 5 conventionally comprises a plate 6 provided with a through hole 7 at a central zone of the plate 6, said through hole being threaded. The plate 6 is preferably dimensioned so that it can fit into the cavity 4 while keeping the hole 7 facing the opening 3. The support member 5 further comprises an elongate main body 8 provided at one end with a threaded rod 9 to be screwed into the hole 7 of the plate 6. The main body 8 has at one end opposite to the threaded rod a cable 10.

Ainsi, comme l'illustre la figure 2, au moins un ensemble formé par un premier élément de support 5a et un deuxième élément de support 5b, fixés au profilé 1, coopèrent pour porter au moins un panneau d'affichage rétro-éclairé 11. Des câbles 10a et 10b reliés respectivement aux premier et deuxième éléments de support 5a, 5b sont électriquement conducteurs et chacun reliés à deux bornes d'une source de courant 12, par exemple par des fils électriques 12a et 12b. Chaque panneau 11 est alors alimenté en courant par les câbles 10a, 10b permettant leur rétro-éclairage, par exemple par l'utilisation d'un néon. Classiquement, le profilé 1 est fixé à un plafond et la source de courant 12 est disposée dans un faux-plafond.Thus, as illustrated by figure 2 at least one assembly formed by a first support element 5a and a second support element 5b, fixed to the profile 1, cooperate to carry at least one backlit display panel 11. Cables 10a and 10b respectively connected to the first and second support members 5a, 5b are electrically conductive and each connected to two terminals of a current source 12, for example by wires 12a and 12b. Each panel 11 is then supplied with current by the cables 10a, 10b allowing their backlight, for example by the use of a neon. Conventionally, the section 1 is fixed to a ceiling and the current source 12 is arranged in a false ceiling.

Une installation qui utilise de tels profilés doit être réalisée par des professionnels pour éviter les courts-circuits et nécessite des travaux conséquents pour cacher convenablement la source de courant 12 et les fils 12a, 12b nécessaires pour alimenter les câbles 10a et 10b. De plus, si plusieurs ensembles sont installés, cela multiplie le nombre de fils visibles et nécessite à chaque fois l'intervention d'un électricien.An installation that uses such profiles must be performed by professionals to avoid short circuits and requires substantial work to properly hide the power source 12 and the son 12a, 12b needed to power the cables 10a and 10b. In addition, if several sets are installed, it multiplies the number of visible son and requires each time the intervention of an electrician.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les premier et deuxième éléments de support comportent chacun un corps principal allongé relié à l'une de ses extrémités à une barre perpendiculaire audit corps principal, ladite barre comportant de part et d'autre du corps principal deux rebords parallèles au corps principal et comportant chacune une face perpendiculaire au corps principal définissant les zones d'appui correspondantes, l'un des rebords constituant l'élément électriquement isolant étant réalisée en matériau isolant.According to a particular embodiment, the first and second support elements each comprise an elongated main body connected to one of its ends at a bar perpendicular to said main body, said bar having on both sides of the main body two flanges parallel to the main body and each having a face perpendicular to the main body defining the corresponding bearing areas, one of the flanges constituting the electrically insulating element being made of insulating material.

Selon un perfectionnement de l'installation, la barre de chaque élément de support a, dans un plan perpendiculaire au corps principal, une largeur inférieure à la largeur de l'ouverture longitudinale.According to an improvement of the installation, the bar of each support element has, in a plane perpendicular to the main body, a width less than the width of the longitudinal opening.

Description de modes préférentiels de réalisationDescription of preferred embodiments

Le profilé de fixation 1 d'au moins un appareil électrique est illustré, selon plusieurs variantes, aux figures 3, 4 et 5. Ces figures illustrent une vue section transversale dudit profilé 1. La section transversale du profilé 1 est conformée pour délimiter une cavité 4 communiquant avec l'extérieur par au moins une ouverture 3 longitudinale ménagée dans une face principale 2 du profilé.The fastening section 1 of at least one electrical appliance is illustrated, in several variants, with Figures 3, 4 and 5 . These figures illustrate a cross sectional view of said profile 1. The cross section of the profile 1 is shaped to define a cavity 4 communicating with the outside by at least one longitudinal opening 3 formed in a main face 2 of the profile.

Des premier et deuxième rails d'alimentation 19a et 19b, longitudinaux et électriquement conducteurs, sont disposés dans la cavité 4 de part et d'autre de l'ouverture 3 longitudinale. Ces rails 19a, 19b sont destinés à former des pistes d'alimentation en courant de l'appareil électrique lorsque ce dernier est fixé au profilé 1 par des éléments de support (non représentés aux figures 3 à 5). Bien entendu, afin d'éviter tout court-circuit, les premier et deuxième rails 19a, 19b sont isolés électriquement l'un de l'autre. Les rails 19a, 19b peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'un film en cuivre ou dans un autre matériau fixé dans la cavité. Dès lors, pour éviter les courts-circuits, le profilé peut être réalisé en nylon ou tout autre matériau présentant des propriétés diélectriques. Une autre solution est de fabriquer un profilé 1 en aluminium et le recouvrir en totalité d'une couche en matériau diélectrique, ou localement au niveau des premier et deuxième rails 19a, 19b. De préférence, la section transversale est la même sur toute la longueur du profilé. Ainsi, l'ouverture 3, la cavité 4, et les rails 19a, 19b sont réalisés sur toute la longueur du profilé.Longitudinal and electrically conductive first and second rails 19a and 19b are arranged in the cavity 4 on either side of the longitudinal opening 3. These rails 19a, 19b are intended to form power supply tracks of the electrical apparatus when the latter is fixed to the section 1 by support elements (not shown in FIGS. Figures 3 to 5 ). Of course, in order to avoid any short circuit, the first and second rails 19a, 19b are electrically isolated from each other. The rails 19a, 19b may be in the form of a copper film or other material fixed in the cavity. Therefore, to avoid short circuits, the profile can be made of nylon or any other material having dielectric properties. Another solution is to manufacture an aluminum profile 1 and cover it completely with a layer of dielectric material, or locally at the first and second rails 19a, 19b. Preferably, the cross section is the same over the entire length of the profile. Thus, the opening 3, the cavity 4, and the rails 19a, 19b are made along the entire length of the profile.

La cavité du profilé 1 a une largeur I1 supérieure à la largeur I2 de l'ouverture 3 (figure 3, 4 et 5). À titre d'exemple illustré aux figures 3 à 5, cette cavité 4 peut être délimitée par une face interne au niveau de laquelle débouche l'ouverture 3 et une face opposée à la face interne formant le fond 13 de la cavité, deux pans 14 sensiblement parallèles reliant alors le fond 13 à la face interne.The cavity of the section 1 has a width I 1 greater than the width I 2 of the opening 3 ( figure 3, 4 and 5 ). As an example shown in Figures 3 to 5 this cavity 4 may be delimited by an internal face at which opens the opening 3 and a face opposite to the internal face forming the bottom 13 of the cavity, two substantially parallel panels 14 then connecting the bottom 13 to the inner face .

Les premier et deuxième rails peuvent chacun comporter une face d'appui 15a, 15b, parallèle à la face principale 2 (figures 3, 4, 5). Ces faces d'appui 15a, 15b peuvent être situées dans un même plan comme à la figure 3 ou dans des plans différents comme sur les figures 4 et 5. Dans le cas où les faces d'appui 15a, 15b, ne sont pas situées dans un même plan, soit les rails 19a, 19b ont des épaisseurs différentes (non représenté), soit la face interne du profilé au niveau de laquelle débouche l'ouverture 3 est réalisée sur deux niveaux, c'est-à-dire que la distance séparant la face interne, où est fixé le premier rail 19a, du fond 13 de la cavité 4 est supérieure à la distance séparant la face interne où est fixé le deuxième rail 19b, du fond 13 de la cavité 4 (figures 4 et 5).The first and second rails may each comprise a bearing face 15a, 15b, parallel to the main face 2 ( Figures 3, 4, 5 ). These bearing faces 15a, 15b can be located in the same plane as in the figure 3 or in different plans like on Figures 4 and 5 . In the case where the bearing faces 15a, 15b, are not located in the same plane, or the rails 19a, 19b have different thicknesses (not shown), or the inner face of the section at which opens the opening 3 is performed on two levels, that is to say that the distance separating the internal face, where is fixed the first rail 19a, the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 is greater than the distance separating the internal face where is fixed the second rail 19b, the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 ( Figures 4 and 5 ).

Les profilés des figures 3 à 5 sont destinés à coopérer avec des éléments de support 5 électriquement conducteurs comme illustré à la figure 6. Chaque élément de support 5 étant muni d'une première zone d'appui 16a et d'une deuxième zone d'appui 16b. L'une des zones d'appui 16a, 16b d'un élément de support 5 étant formée par un élément électriquement isolant. Les première et deuxième zones d'appui 16a, 16b sont destinées à venir respectivement en contact avec les premier et le deuxième rails 19a, 19b au niveau de leur face d'appui 15a, 15b correspondante.The profiles of Figures 3 to 5 are intended to cooperate with electrically conductive support elements as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 . Each support element 5 is provided with a first support zone 16a and a second support zone 16b. One of the support zones 16a, 16b of a support element 5 is formed by an electrically insulating element. The first and second bearing zones 16a, 16b are intended to respectively come into contact with the first and second rails 19a, 19b at their corresponding bearing face 15a, 15b.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier d'un élément de support 5 illustré à la figure 6, ce dernier comporte un corps principal 8 allongé relié à l'une de ses extrémités à une barre 18 perpendiculaire audit corps principal 8. La barre 18 comporte de part et d'autre du corps principal deux rebords 17a et 17b parallèles au corps principal 8 et comportant chacun une face perpendiculaire au corps principal 8 définissant respectivement les zones d'appui 16a et 16b. L'un des rebords (17b sur la figure 6) constitue l'élément électriquement isolant et l'autre rebord (17a sur la figure 6) correspond, par exemple, à une saillie formée sur la barre 18 et réalisée dans le même matériau, électriquement conducteur, que la barre 18.According to a particular embodiment of a support element 5 illustrated in FIG. figure 6 , the latter comprises an elongated main body 8 connected at one of its ends to a bar 18 perpendicular to said main body 8. The bar 18 comprises on either side of the main body two flanges 17a and 17b parallel to the main body 8 and each having a face perpendicular to the main body 8 respectively defining the bearing areas 16a and 16b. One of the ledges (17b on the figure 6 ) constitutes the electrically insulating element and the other edge (17a on the figure 6 ) corresponds, for example, to a projection formed on the bar 18 and made of the same material, electrically conductive, as the bar 18.

Un tel élément de support 5 est destiné à être inséré dans le profilé 1 comme illustré à la figure 7. Les zones d'appui 16a et 16b étant alors respectivement en contact avec la face d'appui 15a du premier rail 19a et avec la face d'appui 15b du deuxième rail 19b. Disposé de cette manière, l'élément de support 5 peut translater selon un axe longitudinal du profilé. Selon une variante, l'élément de support 5 peut comporter des moyens de serrage 21 permettant de fixer ledit élément de sorte qu'il ne puisse plus translater le long du profilé 1. Dans le cas où le profilé n'est pas électriquement isolé au niveau de l'ouverture 3, l'élément de support 5 peut comporter une bague 22 d'isolation permettant d'éviter un court-circuit entre les deux rails 19a et 19b lorsque les moyens de serrage 21 viennent en contact avec le profilé 1 comme sur la figure 7.Such a support member 5 is intended to be inserted into the profile 1 as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 . The bearing areas 16a and 16b then being respectively in contact with the bearing face 15a of the first rail 19a and with the bearing face 15b of the second rail 19b. Arranged in this manner, the support member 5 can translate along a longitudinal axis of the profile. According to one variant, the support element 5 may comprise clamping means 21 making it possible to fix said element so that it can no longer translate the element. along the profile 1. In the case where the profile is not electrically insulated at the opening 3, the support member 5 may comprise an insulation ring 22 to avoid a short circuit between the two rails 19a and 19b when the clamping means 21 come into contact with the profile 1 as on the figure 7 .

Comme l'illustre la figure 8 qui est une vue schématique en trois dimensions de l'élément de support 5 de la figure 6, chaque élément de support 5 peut avoir, dans un plan P perpendiculaire au corps principal, une largeur I3 inférieure à la largeur I2 de l'ouverture longitudinale 3. Cette contrainte sur la dimension de l'élément de support 5 permet d'insérer un élément de support 5 dans le profilé de fixation 1 sans avoir besoin de l'enfiler par l'une des extrémités du profilé. En effet, en présentant la barre 18 de l'élément de support 5 selon son axe longitudinal A1 (figure 8) parallèlement à l'ouverture 3, il est possible de l'insérer dans la cavité 4 en la passant par l'ouverture 3. Ensuite, par rotation de 90° de l'élément de support 5, les zones d'appui 16a et 16b viennent se placer respectivement en contact avec les faces d'appui 15a, 15b. Bien entendu, si un élément de support 5 comme celui illustré à la figure 8 est utilisé, les hauteurs de la barre 18 au niveau des rebords 17a, 17b sont dimensionnées en fonction des distances séparant les faces d'appui 15a et 15b du fond 13 de la cavité 4 afin de permettre aux zones d'appui 16a, 16b de l'élément de support 5 de venir respectivement en contact avec les faces d'appui 15a, 15b des premier et deuxième rails 19a et 19b.As illustrated by figure 8 which is a schematic three-dimensional view of the support member 5 of the figure 6 each support element 5 may have, in a plane P perpendicular to the main body, a width I 3 smaller than the width I 2 of the longitudinal opening 3. This constraint on the dimension of the support element 5 makes it possible to insert a support member 5 in the fastening section 1 without the need to thread it by one end of the profile. Indeed, by presenting the bar 18 of the support element 5 along its longitudinal axis A1 ( figure 8 ) parallel to the opening 3, it is possible to insert it into the cavity 4 by passing through the opening 3. Then, by rotating 90 ° of the support member 5, the bearing zones 16a and 16b are respectively placed in contact with the bearing faces 15a, 15b. Of course, if a support element 5 like the one illustrated in FIG. figure 8 is used, the heights of the bar 18 at the edges 17a, 17b are dimensioned according to the distances between the bearing faces 15a and 15b of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 to allow the support zones 16a, 16b of the support element 5 to respectively come into contact with the bearing faces 15a, 15b of the first and second rails 19a and 19b.

Selon une variante de réalisation du profilé de fixation 1 illustrée à la figure 5, chaque bord de l'ouverture 3 longitudinale comporte un rebord 20a, 20b en direction du fond 13 de la cavité 4, ledit rebord 20a, 20b ayant une hauteur supérieure à l'épaisseur des premier et deuxième rails 19a et 19b. Ces rebords 20a, 20b de l'ouverture 3 permettent, lorsque l'élément de support 5 est inséré dans le profilé 1 comme sur la figure 7, de guider la translation de l'élément de support 5 selon l'axe longitudinal du profilé de fixation 1. En effet, les rebords 20a et 20b de l'ouverture permettent entre autre de délimiter des logements des rebords 17a et 17b des barres 18 des éléments de support. Bien entendu, il est clair que pour la mise en contact des zones d'appui 16a et 16b avec les faces d'appui 15a et 15b respectives, la hauteur relative des rebords 20a, 20b de l'ouverture 3 par rapport aux faces d'appui 15a, 15b est inférieure à la hauteur des rebords 17a, 17b correspondants de la barre 18.According to an alternative embodiment of the fastening section 1 illustrated in FIG. figure 5 each edge of the longitudinal opening 3 has a flange 20a, 20b towards the bottom 13 of the cavity 4, said flange 20a, 20b having a height greater than the thickness of the first and second rails 19a and 19b. These flanges 20a, 20b of the opening 3 allow, when the support element 5 is inserted in the section 1 as on the figure 7 , to guide the translation of the support element 5 along the longitudinal axis of the fastening section 1. In fact, the flanges 20a and 20b of the opening allow among other things to delimit housing flanges 17a and 17b of the bars 18 of the support elements. Of course, it is clear that for the contacting of the bearing zones 16a and 16b with the respective bearing faces 15a and 15b, the relative height of the flanges 20a, 20b of the opening 3 with respect to the faces of FIG. support 15a, 15b is less than the height of the corresponding flanges 17a, 17b of the bar 18.

Pour former une installation, les éléments de support 5 fonctionnent par ensembles, un ensemble comporte un premier élément de support 5a et un deuxième élément de support 5b, électriquement conducteurs, et au moins un appareillage électrique fixé au profilé de fixation par les premier et deuxième éléments de support 5a, 5b et alimenté par les premier et deuxième rails 19a, 19b. Ainsi, pour un ensemble donné, l'élément électriquement isolant du premier élément de support 5a est en contact avec le premier rail 19a, et l'élément électriquement isolant du deuxième élément de support 5b est en contact avec le deuxième rail 19b. Pour assurer l'alimentation électrique, une source de courant comporte deux bornes d'alimentation respectivement reliées aux premier et deuxième rails 19a 19b du profilé. L'élément électriquement isolant de chaque élément de support peut être réalisé en nylon ou correspondre à une couche locale de diélectrique au niveau de la zone d'appui correspondante. L'assemblage d'un ensemble avec au moins un profilé tel que décrit, et ses variantes, forme une installation.To form an installation, the support elements 5 operate in sets, an assembly comprises a first support element 5a and a second support element 5b, electrically conductive, and at least one electrical equipment fixed to the fixing profile by the first and second support members 5a, 5b and powered by the first and second rails 19a, 19b. Thus, for a given assembly, the electrically insulating element of the first support element 5a is in contact with the first rail 19a, and the electrically insulating element of the second support element 5b is in contact with the second rail 19b. To provide power, a power source has two power supply terminals respectively connected to the first and second rails 19a 19b of the profile. The electrically insulating member of each support member may be made of nylon or correspond to a local dielectric layer at the corresponding support zone. The assembly of an assembly with at least one profile as described, and its variants, forms an installation.

La figure 7 illustre vu en trois dimensions l'assemblage d'un élément de support 5 selon le mode de réalisation particulier de la figure 6 à un profilé de fixation 1 selon la variante de la figure 5. L'homme du métier pourra adapter les dimensions des éléments de supports pour les variantes de profilé des figures 3 et 4.The figure 7 illustrates in three dimensions the assembly of a support member 5 according to the particular embodiment of the figure 6 to a mounting profile 1 according to the variant of the figure 5 . Those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the dimensions of the support elements for the profile variants of the Figures 3 and 4 .

Selon une variante, l'installation comporte des moyens de détrompage pour que deux éléments de support 5a, 5b d'un ensemble soient obligatoirement connectés électriquement à des rails 19a, 19b différents. Ces moyens de détrompage sont visibles aux variantes des figures 4 et 5. Il peut s'agir de placer les faces d'appui 15a et 15b des premier et deuxième rails 19a, 19b parallèles dans des plans différents. Ainsi, selon la variante de réalisation de la figure 4, la distance d1 séparant la face d'appui 15a du premier rail 19a du fond 13 de la cavité 4 est supérieure à la distance d2 séparant le deuxième rail 19b du fond 13 de la cavité 4. Les éléments de support 5a, 5b formant l'ensemble respectent alors toutes les conditions suivantes :

  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17a formant l'élément électriquement isolant de la barre du premier élément de support 5a est inférieure à la distance d1 séparant le premier rail 19a du fond 13 de la cavité 4 et supérieure à la distance séparant le deuxième rail 19b du fond 13 de la cavité 4,
  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17b formant la saillie de la barre du premier élément de support 5a est inférieure à la distance d2 séparant le deuxième rail 19b du fond 13 de la cavité 4,
  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17b formant la saillie de la barre du deuxième élément de support 5b est inférieure à la distance d1 séparant le premier rail 19a du fond 13 de la cavité 4 et supérieure à la distance d2 séparant le deuxième rail 19b du fond 13 de la cavité 4,
  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17a formant l'élément électriquement isolant de la barre du deuxième élément de support 5b est inférieure à la distance d2 séparant le deuxième rail 19b du fond 13 de la cavité 4.
According to a variant, the installation comprises polarization means so that two support elements 5a, 5b of an assembly must be electrically connected to different rails 19a, 19b. These foolproofing means are visible to the variants of Figures 4 and 5 . It may be to place the bearing faces 15a and 15b of the first and second rails 19a, 19b parallel in different planes. Thus, according to the variant embodiment of the figure 4 , the distance d 1 between the bearing face 15a of the first rail 19a of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 is greater than the distance d 2 separating the second rail 19b from the bottom 13 of the cavity 4. The support elements 5a, 5b forming the whole then respect all the following conditions:
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the flange 17a forming the electrically insulating element of the bar of the first support member 5a is less than the distance d 1 separating the first rail 19a from the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 and greater than the distance separating the second rail 19b from the bottom 13 of the cavity 4,
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the flange 17b forming the projection of the bar of the first support member 5a is smaller than the distance d 2 between the second rail 19b of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4,
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the flange 17b forming the projection of the bar of the second support member 5b is less than the distance d 1 between the first rail 19a of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 and greater than the distance d 2 separating the second rail 19b from the bottom 13 of the cavity 4,
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the flange 17a forming the electrically insulating element of the bar of the second support member 5b is smaller than the distance d 2 between the second rail 19b of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4.

Les moyens de détrompage sont alors réalisés par la combinaison des dimensions des premier et deuxième éléments de support au niveau de la barre 18 et par le fait que les faces d'appui 15a et 15b ne soient pas dans le même plan. Ainsi, les moyens de détrompage comportent les rebords 17a, 17b des barres 18 des éléments de support 5a, 5b, les rebords 17a, 17b d'une même barre 18 ayant des hauteurs différentes et les faces d'appui 15a, 15b étant dans des plans différents.The polarizing means are then made by the combination of the dimensions of the first and second support elements at the bar 18 and in that the bearing faces 15a and 15b are not in the same plan. Thus, the keying means comprise the flanges 17a, 17b of the bars 18 of the support elements 5a, 5b, the flanges 17a, 17b of the same bar 18 having different heights and the bearing faces 15a, 15b being in different plans.

Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 5, la distance d3 séparant le rebord 20a de l'ouverture 3 du fond 13 de la cavité 4 est supérieure à la distance d4 séparant le rebord 20b de l'ouverture du fond 13 de la cavité 4. Les éléments de support 5 formant l'ensemble respectent alors les conditions suivantes :

  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17a formant l'élément électriquement isolant de la barre du premier élément de support 5a est à la fois inférieure à la distance d3 et supérieure à la distance d4,
  • la hauteur de la barre 18 plus la hauteur du rebord 17b formant la saillie de la barre du premier élément de support est inférieure à la distance d4,
  • la hauteur de la barre plus la hauteur du rebord 17b formant la saillie de a barre du deuxième élément de support 5 est inférieure à la distance d3 et supérieure à la distance d4,
  • la hauteur de la barre plus la hauteur du rebord 17a formant l'élément électriquement isolant de la barre du deuxième élément de support est inférieure à la distance d4.
According to the embodiment of the figure 5 , the distance d 3 between the flange 20a of the opening 3 of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4 is greater than the distance d 4 between the flange 20b of the opening of the bottom 13 of the cavity 4. The support elements 5 forming the whole then respect the following conditions:
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the rim 17a forming the electrically insulating element of the bar of the first support element 5a is both smaller than the distance d 3 and greater than the distance d 4 ,
  • the height of the bar 18 plus the height of the flange 17b forming the projection of the bar of the first support element is less than the distance d 4 ,
  • the height of the bar plus the height of the flange 17b forming the bar projection of the second support element 5 is smaller than the distance d 3 and greater than the distance d 4 ,
  • the height of the bar plus the height of the flange 17a forming the electrically insulating element of the bar of the second support member is less than the distance d 4 .

Les moyens de détrompage sont alors réalisés par la combinaison des dimensions des premier et deuxième éléments de support 5a, 5b et des dimensions des rebords 20a, 20b de l'ouverture 3. Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 5, les faces d'appui 15a et 15b des rails 19a et 19b sont dans un plan différent et les rebords 20a et 20b de l'ouverture 3 ont une hauteur identique. Selon une variante non représentée, les hauteurs des rebords peuvent avoir une hauteur différente. Ainsi, les moyens de détrompage comportent les rebords 20a, 20b de l'ouverture 3 longitudinale et les rebords 17a, 17b des barres 18 des éléments de support 5a, 5b, les rebords 17a, 17b d'une même barre 18 ayant des hauteurs différentes, les faces d'appui 15a, 15b étant dans des plans différents.The polarizing means are then made by the combination of the dimensions of the first and second support members 5a, 5b and the dimensions of the flanges 20a, 20b of the opening 3. In the embodiment of FIG. figure 5 the bearing faces 15a and 15b of the rails 19a and 19b are in a different plane and the flanges 20a and 20b of the opening 3 have an identical height. According to a variant not shown, the heights of the flanges may have a different height. Thus, the polarizing means comprise the flanges 20a, 20b of the longitudinal opening 3 and the flanges 17a, 17b of the bars 18 of the support elements 5a, 5b, the flanges 17a, 17b of the same bar 18 having different heights. , the bearing faces 15a, 15b being in different planes.

Une installation peut comporter une pluralité de profilés de fixation 1 reliés entre eux par deux éléments de liaison 23. Un tel élément de liaison 23 est illustré, à titre exemple, à la figure 8 et peut être constitué par un barreau 24 comportant sur au moins une face 25 une saillie 26, transversale au barreau 24, et, de préférence, située en son centre. Au sommet de la saillie 26 est fixée une lame 27 électriquement conductrice dont la largeur et la longueur n'excèdent pas respectivement la largeur et la longueur du barreau 24. Cette lame 27 est, de préférence, contrainte de sorte qu'elle vienne prendre appui, avec une certaine force, sur le barreau 24 de part et d'autre de la saillie 26 sur laquelle la lame 27 est fixée. Chaque appui de la lame 27 est réalisé au niveau d'une portion 29 de la lame 27 située entre le centre de la lame, fixé à la saillie 26, et son extrémité libre 28. Entre la portion 29 d'appui et l'extrémité libre 28 de la lame 27, la lame 27 est pliée afin de diverger de la face 25 du barreau 24 où elle prend appui.An installation may comprise a plurality of fastening profiles 1 interconnected by two connecting elements 23. Such a connecting element 23 is illustrated, for example, in FIG. figure 8 and may be constituted by a bar 24 having on at least one side 25 a projection 26, transverse to the bar 24, and preferably located at its center. At the top of the projection 26 is fixed an electrically conductive blade 27 whose width and length do not exceed respectively the width and the length of the bar 24. This blade 27 is preferably constrained so that it comes to bear with a certain force, on the bar 24 on either side of the projection 26 on which the blade 27 is fixed. Each support of the blade 27 is formed at a portion 29 of the blade 27 located between the center of the blade, fixed to the projection 26, and its free end 28. Between the bearing portion 29 and the end free 28 of the blade 27, the blade 27 is folded to diverge from the face 25 of the bar 24 where it is supported.

Ainsi, pour relier deux profilés de fixation consécutifs, les profilés consécutifs comporte chacun deux moyens d'emboîtement femelle 30a, 30b respectivement disposés en dessous des premier et deuxième rails 19a, 19b (figures 3, 4, 5). Chaque moyen d'emboîtement femelle 30a, 30b est destiné à recevoir un barreau comme illustré à la figure 9. L'insertion d'un barreau 24 dans un moyen d'emboîtement femelle 30a, 30b est réalisée de sorte que la lame vienne en contact électrique avec l'un des rails 19a, 19b. La saillie 26 du barreau 24 sert alors de butée limitant l'enfoncement dudit barreau dans le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 30a, 30b correspondant (figure 10). Lorsque deux barreaux 24a, 24b sont respectivement insérés dans les deux moyens d'emboîtement femelle 30a, 30b d'un profilé comme sur la figure 10, un deuxième profilé peut être reporté sur les deux barreaux 24a, 24b. Une fois assemblés, les premiers rails 19a des deux profilés consécutifs forment une unique piste électriquement conductrice par l'intermédiaire de la lame 27 du barreau 24a correspondant. Il en va de même pour les deuxièmes rails 19b de deux profilés consécutifs. Le fait que la lame 27 soit pliée entre la portion 29 et l'extrémité libre 28 vers l'extérieur permet de faciliter la mise en contact de la lame et du rail associé. En effet, lorsque le barreau 24a est inséré dans le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 30a, la lame 27 va venir en contact avec la face interne portant le premier rail 19a et passer au-dessus de la face interne et du rail de sorte à venir en contact électrique avec la face d'appui associée.Thus, to connect two consecutive fixing profiles, the consecutive profiles each comprise two female engagement means 30a, 30b respectively arranged below the first and second rails 19a, 19b (FIG. Figures 3, 4, 5 ). Each female interlocking means 30a, 30b is intended to receive a bar as shown in FIG. figure 9 . The insertion of a bar 24 into a female engagement means 30a, 30b is performed so that the blade comes into electrical contact with one of the rails 19a, 19b. The projection 26 of the bar 24 then serves as an abutment limiting the depression of said bar in the corresponding female engagement means 30a, 30b ( figure 10 ). When two bars 24a, 24b are respectively inserted into the two female interlocking means 30a, 30b of a profile as on FIG. figure 10 , a second profile can be carried on the two bars 24a, 24b. Once assembled, the first rails 19a of the two consecutive sections form a single electrically conductive track through the blade 27 of the corresponding bar 24a. The same is true for the second rails 19b of two consecutive profiles. The fact that the blade 27 is bent between the portion 29 and the free end 28 to the outside makes it easier to bring the blade and the associated rail into contact. Indeed, when the bar 24a is inserted into the female interlocking means 30a, the blade 27 will come into contact with the inner face carrying the first rail 19a and pass over the inner face and the rail so as to come in electrical contact with the associated bearing face.

Il est possible de réaliser plusieurs types d'éléments de liaison. L'élément de liaison définit ci-dessus est rectiligne, mais l'homme du métier pourra adapter ce concept à tout type de forme pour réaliser par exemple des coudes. La combinaison d'éléments de liaison rectilignes et coudés permet de réaliser réaliser toute forme de structure.It is possible to make several types of connection elements. The connecting element defined above is rectilinear, but the skilled person can adapt this concept to any type of shape to achieve for example bends. The combination of rectilinear and bent connection elements makes it possible to produce any form of structure.

La figure 11 illustre à titre d'exemple une installation sous forme de totem. Une installation sous forme de totem comporte un socle 31 destiné à être disposé au niveau du sol. Au moins deux profilés 1 a et 1b de fixation sont reliés au socle 31 perpendiculairement à ce dernier. Ces deux profilés 1 a, 1 b sont disposés dos-à-dos, c'est-à-dire que leurs faces opposées à leurs faces principales 2 sont en contact, les deux profilés formant ainsi un poteau. Des éléments de support 5a, 5b comportant des moyens de serrage peuvent être disposés dans les ouvertures des profilés formant le poteau. La figure 11 illustre un poteau comportant 6 ensembles, chaque ensemble étant constitué par un panneau 11 et deux éléments de support 5a, 5b fixant ce panneau.The figure 11 illustrates as an example an installation in the form of a totem. An installation in the form of totem comprises a base 31 intended to be disposed at ground level. At least two fixing sections 1a and 1b are connected to the base 31 perpendicular to the latter. These two sections 1a, 1b are arranged back-to-back, that is to say that their faces opposite their main faces 2 are in contact, the two sections thus forming a pole. Support members 5a, 5b having clamping means may be disposed in the openings of the profiles forming the post. The figure 11 illustrates a pole having 6 sets, each set consisting of a panel 11 and two support members 5a, 5b fixing this panel.

Une variante non représentée comporte deux socles, une armature à base de profilés et d'éléments de liaison, l'armature est fixée au sol par les deux socles pour former une arche.A variant not shown comprises two bases, a frame based on profiles and connecting elements, the frame is fixed to the ground by the two bases to form an arch.

L'installation illustrée à la figure 12 comporte deux profilés 1 a et 1b de fixation reliés par un élément de liaison 23. Ces profilés 1 a et 1 b sont fixés à un plafond 32. L'installation comporte 4 ensembles E1..E4. L'utilisation d'élément de support 5 dont la largeur est inférieure à la largeur de l'ouverture permet d'intercaler au niveau d'un emplacement E5 libre un nouvel ensemble sans avoir besoin de démonter l'ensemble E4 pour pouvoir l'insérer. L'installation de la figure 12 peut en outre comporter à ses deux extrémités des éléments de terminaison 33a, 33b. Chaque élément de terminaison 33a, 33b a à la fois un rôle esthétique, un rôle de maintien des éléments de support (ceux-ci ne peuvent coulisser en dehors des profilés si les éléments de terminaison sont en place). L'un des éléments de liaison 33b comporte deux connecteurs électriques venant chacun respectivement en contact avec un rail et une des bornes de connexion, par exemple à la manière des éléments de liaison par l'intermédiaire d'une lame contrainte. Les bornes de connexion peuvent ensuite être reliées à une source d'alimentation en courant 12, par exemple placée au-dessus du plafond dans un faux plafond.The installation illustrated at figure 12 comprises two fixing sections 1a and 1b connected by a connecting element 23. These profiles 1a and 1b are fixed to a ceiling 32. The installation comprises 4 sets E1..E4. The use of support member 5 whose width is less than the width of the opening allows to insert at a location E5 free a new assembly without the need to dismantle the assembly E4 to be able to insert it . The installation of the figure 12 may further comprise at its two ends termination elements 33a, 33b. Each termination element 33a, 33b has both an aesthetic role, a role of holding the support elements (they can not slide outside the profiles if the termination elements are in place). One of the connecting elements 33b comprises two electrical connectors each respectively in contact with a rail and one of the connection terminals, for example in the manner of the connecting elements through a constrained blade. The connection terminals can then be connected to a power supply source 12, for example placed above the ceiling in a false ceiling.

Une autre variante de l'installation est illustrée à la figure 13. Dans cette variante, au moins un profilé 1 de fixation est fixé à un mur 35. Dès lors, si l'on souhaite suspendre au moins un appareillage électrique, les éléments de support 5 nécessaires comportent chacun un bras 34 pivotant par rapport au corps 8 principal.Another variant of the installation is illustrated in figure 13 . In this variant, at least one fixing profile 1 is fixed to a wall 35. Therefore, if it is desired to suspend at least one electrical equipment, the necessary support elements 5 each comprise an arm 34 pivoting relative to the body 8 main.

De manière générale, lorsque des appareillages électriques sont suspendus par des câbles, ces câbles sont chacun relié d'une part électriquement à l'élément de support et d'autre part à une masse 7 (figure 12) assurant leur tension.In general, when electrical equipment is suspended by cables, these cables are each electrically connected to the support element and to a mass 7 ( figure 12 ) ensuring their tension.

Comme illustré à la figure 6, les câbles pour suspendre un appareillage électrique peuvent être insérés dans un premier trou 36 coaxial au corps 8. Un deuxième trou 37 perpendiculaire au premier trou 36, et débouchant dans ce dernier, comporte un filetage. Ainsi, l'insertion d'une vis dans le trou 35 permet de solidariser un câble inséré dans le premier trou 36 au delà du deuxième trou 37.As illustrated in figure 6 the cables for suspending electrical equipment may be inserted into a first hole 36 coaxial with the body 8. A second hole 37 perpendicular to the first hole 36, and opening into the latter, comprises a thread. Thus, the insertion of a screw into the hole 35 makes it possible to secure a cable inserted in the first hole 36 beyond the second hole 37.

L'utilisation de profilés selon l'invention pour réaliser de telles installations permet de limiter le nombre de fils électriques apparent et d'obtenir une installation modulable dans laquelle il est facile de rajouter des ensembles sans faire appel à des électriciens.The use of profiles according to the invention for carrying out such installations makes it possible to limit the number of apparent electrical wires and to obtain a modular installation in which it is easy to add assemblies without the use of electricians.
