Abstract

The support consists of a hollow mast (1) with two or more holes (4, 5, 6) through it in separate planes (P, P') lying perpendicular to the mast's vertical axis (Y), so that a supporting arm inserted through opposite holes in the two planes is held in place by gravity alone. The holes can be fitted with grommets to improve the mechanical anchoring of the arm and form a seal. In variants of the design the mast can have holes all the way up to allow several supporting arms to be fitted in different positions, and the arms can be replaced by loops of cable passed through the holes and fastened to blocks inside the mast.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif propre à assurer le support dans un plan vertical d'un pavillon, drapeau ou panneau souple analogue, à but publicitaire ou décoratif.The present invention relates to a device specific to provide support in a vertical plane of a pavilion, flag or similar flexible sign, for advertising or decorative.

On connaít déjà de nombreuses réalisations de dispositifs de support pour drapeaux, pavillons ou panneaux souples de ce genre, qui consistent à faire porter par un mât vertical ou analogue, une potence horizontale sur laquelle s'attache le bord supérieur du drapeau, ladite potence traversant le mât et étant immobilisée dans celui-ci à l'aide d'un ou plusieurs colliers. Le principal inconvénient de ce dispositif réside dans sa difficile mise en oeuvre. De plus, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de changer l'orientation du panneau souple supporté par un tel dispositif, il faut tourner le mât autour de son axe afin de réorienter le panneau en fonction du vent par exemple.We already know many achievements of devices of support for flags, pavilions or flexible panels of this kind, which consist of carrying by a vertical mast or the like, a horizontal bracket to which attaches the upper edge of the flag, the said gallows crossing the mast and being immobilized therein using one or more several necklaces. The main drawback of this device lies in its difficult implementation. Of more, when it is necessary to change the orientation of the flexible panel supported by such a device, it is necessary turn the mast around its axis in order to redirect the wind panel for example.

En outre, le mât supportant ainsi la potence est généralement fabriqué à partir d'aluminium extrudé ou d'acier et éventuellement revêtu d'une couche de protection et de finition. Il est également très souvent élaboré en plusieurs sections comportant chacune des manchons de raccordement. Un tel procédé de réalisation présente de nombreux inconvénients notamment celui du prix de revient relativement élevé. On utilisera donc, dans la présente invention, un mât avantageusement confectionné à partir d'une bande de carton recyclable utilisé pour l'emballage alimentaire (ladite bande étant enroulée en spirales autour d'un axe vertical afin de former le mât sensiblement cylindrique), ou bien un mât en acier ou en fibre pultrudée.In addition, the mast thus supporting the gallows is usually made from extruded aluminum or steel and possibly coated with a protective layer and finishing. It is also very often developed in several sections each comprising sleeves of connection. Such a production method presents many disadvantages including that of cost price relatively high. We will therefore use, in the present invention, a mast advantageously made from a strip of recyclable cardboard used for packaging food (said strip being wound in spirals around a vertical axis to form the mast substantially cylindrical), or a steel or fiber mast pultruded.

La présente invention vise donc à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant notamment un dispositif grâce auquel le système d'ancrage mécanique de la potence sur le mât est de réalisation très simple et économique et permet en outre, de manière simple et rapide, de changer l'orientation de la potence en fonction de la direction du vent par exemple ou éventuellement de positionner plusieurs potences sur le même mât.The present invention therefore aims to overcome these drawbacks in particular by proposing a device by which the mechanical anchoring system of the stem on the mast is very simple and economical to build and also allows quickly and easily to change the orientation of the gallows depending on the wind direction for example or possibly to position several gallows on the same mast.

A cet effet, le dispositif de support, objet de l'invention, pour drapeaux, pavillons ou panneaux souples analogues, comportant un mât ou élément similaire d'axe vertical, au moins une potence sur laquelle est attaché un bord supérieur d'un drapeau ou panneau analogue, et au moins deux orifices pratiqués sur une surface extérieure dudit mât, ladite potence étant réalisée en une matière flexible et coopérant avec deux orifices, se caractérise en ce que ces deux orifices sont situés dans deux plans passant chacun par un centre de l'un desdits deux orifices, perpendiculaires à l'axe vertical dudit mât et strictement parallèles entre eux, pour permettre son ancrage mécanique dans le mât sous la seule action de la gravité et en ce que la potence comporte des moyens prévus au niveau des orifices de manière à améliorer son ancrage mécanique dans le mât et l'étanchéité du dispositif.To this end, the support device, object of the invention, for flags, pavilions or flexible panels similar, having a mast or the like having a shaft vertical, at least one bracket to which is attached a upper edge of a flag or similar panel, and at at least two holes made on an exterior surface of said mast, said stem being made of a material flexible and cooperating with two orifices, is characterized by what these two orifices are located in two planes each passing through a center of one of said two orifices, perpendicular to the vertical axis of said mast and strictly parallel to each other, to allow its mechanical anchoring in the mast under the sole action of gravity and in that the gallows comprises means provided at the level of orifices so as to improve its mechanical anchoring in the mast and the tightness of the device.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description faite ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent un exemple de réalisation dépourvu de tout caractère limitatif. Sur les figures :

  • la figure 4 représente un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 5 est une vue en élévation frontale d'un mât biseauté selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description given below, with reference to the appended drawings which illustrate an embodiment thereof devoid of any limiting character. In the figures:
  • Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a mast according to the invention, carrying a flag;
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the upper section of a mast carrying a bracket;
  • Figure 3 is a plan sectional view along II-II of Figure 2;
  • FIG. 4 represents a second embodiment of the device according to the invention;
  • Figure 5 is a front elevational view of a beveled mast according to the invention.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, il comporte essentiellement un mât 1 d'axe vertical Y, au moins une potence 2 réalisée en matière flexible telle qu'elle puisse se déformer en cas de vent puis revenir dans sa position initiale, et un système d'ancrage mécanique de la ou des potences sur le mât. Sur ladite potence 2 s'attache le bord supérieur d'un pavillon, drapeau ou panneau souple analogue 3, par exemple en ménageant selon ce bord un ourlet cousu dans lequel est engagée la potence, ou bien en accrochant ce bord sur cette dernière par des oeillets ou attaches similaires. Le panneau souple 3 est ainsi suspendu sous la potence 2 et, en l'absence de vent, s'étend dans un plan vertical.According to a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, it essentially comprises a mast 1 of axis vertical Y, at least one stem 2 made of material flexible so that it can deform in windy conditions then return to its original position, and a system mechanical anchoring of the bracket (s) on the mast. Sure said bracket 2 attaches to the upper edge of a roof, flag or similar flexible panel 3, for example in sparing along this edge a sewn hem in which is engaged the stem, or by hanging this edge on this last by eyelets or similar fasteners. The flexible panel 3 is thus suspended under the bracket 2 and, in the absence of wind, extends in a vertical plane.

On décrira maintenant un mode de réalisation du système d'ancrage mécanique. Sur la figure 2, la référence 4 désigne une pluralité d'orifices disposés sur la surface externe du mât 1. Le diamètre desdits orifices 4 est légèrement supérieur à celui d'une potence 2 à supporter de façon à ce que ladite potence puisse traverser le mât 1 d'axe Y de part en part et ainsi dépasser du côté opposé à celui de son introduction. De plus, ladite potence est "enfilée" sur le mât 1 par l'intermédiaire des orifices 4 de telle manière que l'angle ainsi formé entre la potence et ledit mât vertical est légèrement supérieur à 90 degrés. Pour ce faire, on passe la potence 2 par éxemple au travers de deux orifices 5 et 6 choisis de manière qu'un plan P passant par un centre de l'orifice 5 et perpendiculaire à l'axe Y du mât 1 est strictement parallèle avec un plan P' passant par un centre de l'orifice 6 et également perpendiculaire à l'axe Y. Les plans P et P' ne sont donc pas confondus. Ainsi disposée, et grâce au seul poids d'un panneau souple 3 dont un bord supérieur est attaché à la potence 2, celle-ci est ancrée dans le mât 1 et ne pourra coulisser dans un sens comme dans l'autre que sous l'action d'un utilisateur. Comme on le voit en effet sur la figure 3, le poids du panneau souple 3 exerce, par l'intermédiaire de la potence 2, une force verticale dans le sens de la flèche F sur la paroi du mât 1 au niveau de l'alésage 6 équilibrant ainsi le poids du panneau 3 et permettant donc à la potence de s'immobiliser dans le mât. On remarquera également que le mât 1 comporte une pluralité d'orifices 4 sur sa paroi extérieure de façon à autoriser plusieurs dispositions possibles de la potence 2. Ceci permet, par exemple, de la repositionner suivant le sens du vent ou même de positionner plusieurs potences sur un même mât afin de supporter plusieurs panneaux souples.We will now describe an embodiment of the system mechanical anchor. In Figure 2, reference 4 denotes a plurality of orifices arranged on the surface external of the mast 1. The diameter of said orifices 4 is slightly higher than that of a gallows 2 to bear so that the said gallows can pass through the mast 1 from Y axis right through and thus protrude on the side opposite to that of its introduction. In addition, said gallows is "threaded" on the mast 1 through the holes 4 in such a way that the angle thus formed between the stem and said vertical mast is slightly greater than 90 degrees. To do this, we pass the gallows 2 for example through two orifices 5 and 6 chosen so that a plane P passing through a center of port 5 and perpendicular to the axis Y of the mast 1 is strictly parallel with a plane P ' passing through a center of port 6 and also perpendicular to the Y axis. The planes P and P 'are therefore not not confused. Thus arranged, and thanks to the mere weight of a flexible panel 3 with an upper edge attached to the stem 2, this is anchored in the mast 1 and cannot slide in one direction as in the other than under the action of a user. As we can see in the figure 3, the weight of the flexible panel 3 exerts, via of the stem 2, a vertical force in the direction of the arrow F on the mast wall 1 at the bore 6 thus balancing the weight of the panel 3 and therefore allowing the gallows to stop in the mast. We will notice also that the mast 1 has a plurality of orifices 4 on its outer wall so as to allow several possible arrangements of the jib 2. This allows, for example, reposition it according to the wind direction or even to position several jib cranes on the same mast so to support several flexible panels.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, des moyens 7 tels que passe-fils, presse-étoupe et éléments similaires sont disposés sur la potence 2 de manière à améliorer son ancrage mécanique dans le mât 1 et à assurer une bonne étanchéité du dispositif. De préférence, on dispose éventuellement ces moyens 7 directement dans les orifices 4 destinés à recevoir la potence, puis celle-ci est enfilée au travers dudit mât. Lesdits moyens 7 sont alors fixés sur la potence à l'aide d'écrous ou éléments similaires.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, means 7 such as grommet, cable gland and elements similar are arranged on the stem 2 so as to improve its mechanical anchoring in mast 1 and ensure good sealing of the device. Preferably, we possibly have these means 7 directly in the holes 4 intended to receive the bracket, then this one is threaded through said mast. Said means 7 are then fixed on the stem using nuts or elements similar.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, on attache le bord inférieur d'un panneau souple 3 de la même façon que son bord supérieur est fixé à une potence 2, sur une deuxième potence qui sera elle-même positionnée sur le mât 1 de manière analogue au positionnement de la potence 2 et ceci de manière à limiter les mouvements dudit panneau et à faciliter son maintien dans son plan vertical.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, we attach the lower edge of a flexible panel 3 of the same way that its upper edge is fixed to a stem 2, on a second stem which will itself be positioned on the mast 1 analogously to the positioning of the bracket 2 and this so as to limit the movements of said panel and to facilitate its maintenance in its vertical plane.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, les orifices 5 peuvent être disposés tout le long du mât 1, de haut en bas afin de pouvoir positionner plusieurs potences supportant chacune un panneau souple. De même, l'inclinaison de la ou les potences peut être aisément modifiée, tout en restant supérieure à 90 degrés, en choisissant convenablement les orifices traversés par la ou les potences.According to yet another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the orifices 5 can be arranged all the along mast 1, from top to bottom in order to be able to position several brackets each supporting a flexible panel. Of even, the inclination of the gallows may be easily modified, while remaining greater than 90 degrees, by appropriately choosing the orifices through which the or the gallows.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif de support illustré par la figure 4, la potence 2 peut être remplacée par un organe d'accrochage 8 formé par exemple à partir d'un bout 9 de corde ou similaire, dont l'une des extrémités est pourvue d'une partie rigide articulée 10 qui, après avoir traversé un desdits orifices 4, fait saillie à l'intérieur du mât 1 empêchant ainsi le retrait dudit bout 9. Ce dernier est alors fixé au pavillon, drapeau ou panneau souple analogue 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un oeillet ou d'une attache similaire. Avantageusement, on dispose ainsi deux organes d'accrochage permettant d'y attacher un coin supérieur et un coin inférieur dudit panneau souple 3. On peut également ancrer un deuxième organe d'accrochage plus bas dans le mât et installer une drisse pour descendre et monter le pavillon 3 ou bien combiner une potence 2 avec un tel organe d'accrochage.According to another embodiment of the support device illustrated by figure 4, the stem 2 can be replaced by a hooking member 8 formed for example from a piece of rope 9 or the like, one of which ends is provided with a rigid articulated part 10 which, after having passed through one of said orifices 4, makes protrusion inside the mast 1 thus preventing withdrawal said end 9. The latter is then fixed to the roof, flag or similar flexible panel 3 through a grommet or similar fastener. Advantageously, there are thus two hooking members making it possible to attach an upper corner and a lower corner of said flexible panel 3. You can also anchor a second hooking device lower in the mast and install a halyard to descend and climb the pavilion 3 or combine a stem 2 with such a hooking member.

En variante (figure 5), le mât 1 peut être biseauté dans sa partie supérieure d'un angle avantageusement voisin de 60° afin de réaliser un effet esthétique.Alternatively (Figure 5), the mast 1 can be bevelled in its upper part of an angle advantageously close to 60 ° in order to achieve an aesthetic effect.

On réalise ainsi un dispositif de conception très simple, efficace et peu coûteux, permettant à la fois de positionner plusieurs panneaux souples sur un même mât, et de changer leur orientation sans outil ni effort.This produces a very simple design device, efficient and inexpensive, allowing both position several flexible panels on the same mast, and to change their orientation without tools or effort.

Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus, mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown above, but that it encompasses all variants.
