Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne un élément modulaire formant pochoir pour la décoration de surface, un ensemble de décoration comportant une pluralité d'éléments modulaires et un procédé de décoration utilisant un tel ensemble.The invention relates to a modular stencil element for surface decoration, a decoration assembly comprising a plurality of modular elements and a decoration method using such a set.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le domaine de la décoration des sols et des murs pour simuler l'apparence de murs ou sols traditionnels.The invention relates more particularly to the field of decorating floors and walls to simulate the appearance of traditional walls or floors.

ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

Dans l'art antérieur, il est connu des méthodes et des dispositifs permettant de décorer des parois ou des sols en réalisant des revêtements reproduisant l'apparence des murs ou sols traditionnels, formés de pavés ou de pierres par exemple.In the prior art, there are known methods and devices for decorating walls or floors by producing coatings reproducing the appearance of traditional walls or floors, formed of pavers or stones for example.

Pour ce faire, les dispositifs sont constitués de pochoirs formés de trames destinées à être disposées contre la surface à décorer. Ces trames comportent des motifs évidés présentant des formes de pierres ou de pavés au travers desquels un enduit ou une peinture est appliqué lorsque les trames sont apposées sur la surface à décorer. Ainsi, lorsque les trames sont retirées, l'enduit appliqué forme un revêtement qui reproduit l'apparence des surfaces pavées ou formées de pierres.To do this, the devices consist of stencils formed of frames intended to be arranged against the surface to be decorated. These frames comprise recessed patterns having stone shapes or pavers through which a coating or paint is applied when the frames are affixed to the surface to be decorated. Thus, when the frames are removed, the applied coating forms a coating that reproduces the appearance of paved or stone surfaces.

De tels dispositifs de décoration sont notamment décrits dans la demande de brevet GB 2 265 404 et dans la demande de brevet français FR 2 838 273 .Such decorative devices are described in particular in the patent application. GB 2,265,404 and in the French patent application FR 2,838,273 .

La demande de brevet GB 2 265 404 décrit un pochoir sous forme de rouleau comportant une trame présentant des motifs en forme de pavé, une feuille de protection pelable et un adhésif permettant de fixer la trame sur la surface à décorer.The patent application GB 2,265,404 discloses a stencil in the form of a roll having a weft having pavé-shaped patterns, a peelable protective sheet and an adhesive for fixing the weft on the surface to be decorated.

Toutefois, les pochoirs en rouleau présentent des limites quant aux formes des ouvrages qu'ils sont capables de reproduire. En effet, les pochoirs en rouleau ne sont aptes à simuler que des ouvrages dont les motifs sont relativement simples et réguliers.However, roll stencils have limitations on the shapes of the works they are able to reproduce. Indeed, the stencils roll are only able to simulate works whose patterns are relatively simple and regular.

En outre, lorsque l'on souhaite réaliser un revêtement sur une surface importante en utilisant une ensemble de plusieurs pochoirs, le raccord entre les différentes trames est obtenu en disposant les trames bord à bord. Ainsi, si la juxtaposition n'est pas parfaitement réalisée, des traînées d'enduit indésirables risquent d'apparaître au niveau du raccord entre les différentes trames.In addition, when it is desired to effect a coating on a large surface using a set of several stencils, the connection between the different frames is obtained by arranging the frames edge to edge. Thus, if the juxtaposition is not perfectly achieved, unwanted smear streaks may appear at the connection between the different frames.

Par ailleurs, la demande de brevet français FR 2 838 273 décrit un dispositif comportant une pluralité de trames présentant des motifs découpés présentant des formes de pavés. Les trames présentent en périphérie une bordure amincie qui évite une surépaisseur de l'assemblage de plusieurs trames. En outre, la bordure périphérique est pourvue de tétons et de parties creuses permettant l'assemblage de plusieurs trames au niveau de leur bordure périphérique.In addition, the French patent application FR 2,838,273 discloses a device having a plurality of frames having cut patterns having paver shapes. The frames have on the periphery a thinned edge which avoids an extra thickness of the assembly of several frames. In addition, the peripheral edge is provided with nipples and hollow portions allowing the assembly of several frames at their peripheral edge.

Toutefois, les trames décrites dans ce document ne sont pas équipées de moyens de fixation sur la surface à décorer. Ainsi, lorsque la surface à décorer est une surface verticale, des opérateurs doivent maintenir les trames contre la surface à décorer lors de l'application de l'enduit. Ce dispositif est donc très peu commode pour la décoration de surfaces verticales. En outre, lors de la décoration de surfaces horizontales, l'enduit doit être appliqué par projection car un autre type d'application, le coulage de l'enduit par exemple, induit des risques de coulure de l'enduit entre la surface à décorer et la trame, en raison de la mobilité des trames par rapport à la surface à décorer.However, the frames described in this document are not equipped with fixing means on the surface to be decorated. Thus, when the surface to be decorated is a vertical surface, operators must maintain the frames against the surface to be decorated during the application of the coating. This device is very inconvenient for the decoration of vertical surfaces. In addition, when decorating horizontal surfaces, the coating must be applied by spraying because another type of application, the casting of the coating, for example, induces the risk of run-off of the coating between the surface to be decorated. and the frame, because of the mobility of the frames relative to the surface to be decorated.

En outre, si l'assemblage entre les trames permet de résoudre les problèmes de coulure entre les trames, la réalisation de ces trames est relativement complexe et coûteuse.In addition, if the assembly between the frames makes it possible to solve the problems of running between the frames, the production of these frames is relatively complex and expensive.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention vise à remédier à ces problèmes en proposant un élément modulaire formant pochoir, un ensemble de décoration et un procédé de décoration qui soient simples, peu coûteux et permettent de réaliser soigneusement et précisément des revêtements présentant des formes complexes aussi bien pour des parois horizontales que pour des parois verticales.The invention aims to remedy these problems by proposing a modular stencil element, a decorating assembly and a decorating process which are simple and inexpensive and make it possible to carefully and accurately produce coatings with complex shapes for walls as well. horizontal only for vertical walls.

A cet effet, et selon un premier aspect, l'invention propose un élément modulaire formant pochoir pour la décoration d'une surface comprenant une trame composée de bandes délimitant une pluralité de motifs évidés, et présentant une face interne recouverte d'un adhésif pour la fixation de l'élément modulaire. La trame présente au moins une première et une seconde bandes périphériques non rectilignes présentant des profils superposables sur sensiblement toute leur largeur de sorte à assurer une liaison avec un second élément modulaire identique par superposition de la première bande périphérique dudit élément modulaire en cause avec la seconde bande périphérique du second élément modulaire.For this purpose, and according to a first aspect, the invention proposes a stencil forming modular element for decorating a surface comprising a frame composed of strips delimiting a plurality of recessed patterns, and having an inner face covered with an adhesive for fixing the modular element. The weft has at least first and second non-rectilinear peripheral strips having superimposable profiles over substantially their entire width so as to provide a connection with a second identical modular element by superposition of the first peripheral band of said modular element in question with the second peripheral band of the second modular element.

Ainsi, le raccordement entre les éléments modulaires est obtenu par une superposition de bandes périphériques de sorte que l'enduit ne peut coulé entre les éléments modulaires. En outre, lorsque l'opérateur positionne les profils superposables des deux bandes périphériques, il assure un positionnement relatif des éléments modulaires.Thus, the connection between the modular elements is obtained by a superposition of peripheral strips so that the coating can not flow between the modular elements. In addition, when the operator positions the superimposable profiles of the two peripheral strips, he ensures a relative positioning of the modular elements.

En outre, si la présence de bandes périphériques non rectiligne permet de réaliser des revêtements plus réalistes et/ou plus complexes, la superposition de ceux-ci permet également à l'opérateur de s'assurer que les éléments modulaires ont été correctement orientés. En effet, si les deux bandes ne se superposent pas, l'opérateur peut facilement en déduire que l'orientation d'un des éléments modulaires est incorrecte.In addition, if the presence of non-rectilinear peripheral strips makes it possible to produce more realistic and / or more complex coatings, the superposition of these also enables the operator to ensure that the modular elements have been correctly oriented. Indeed, if the two bands do not overlap, the operator can easily deduce that the orientation of one of the modular elements is incorrect.

Enfin, les éléments modulaires selon l'invention comportent un adhésif qui permet à la fois de fixer l'élément contre la surface à décorer et de lier les éléments modulaires adjacents. Ainsi, l'élément modulaire est simple puisqu'il ne nécessite pas la réalisation de bords amincis et peut être facilement déposé sur la surface à décorer, puis retirer, de sorte à faciliter les manipulations.Finally, the modular elements according to the invention comprise an adhesive which makes it possible both to fix the element against the surface to be decorated and to bond the adjacent modular elements. Thus, the modular element is simple since it does not require the realization of thinned edges and can be easily deposited on the surface to decorate, then remove, so as to facilitate handling.

Avantageusement, la trame présente un pourtour constitué d'une pluralité de bandes périphériques présentant chacune un profil superposable avec un profil d'une autre desdites bandes périphériques de sorte à assurer une liaison de l'intégralité du pourtour dudit élément modulaire avec une pluralité d'éléments modulaires. Ainsi, l'intégralité du pourtour d'un élément modulaire peut être liée à une pluralité d'éléments modulaires par superposition.Advantageously, the frame has a periphery consisting of a plurality of peripheral strips each having a superimposable profile with a profile of another of said peripheral strips so as to ensure a connection of the entire periphery of said modular element with a plurality of modular elements. Thus, the entire periphery of a modular element can be linked to a plurality of modular elements by superposition.

Dans un mode de réalisation, la première bande périphérique forme au moins un creux et la seconde bande périphérique forme au moins une saillie constituée d'au moins une portion de motif et de forme complémentaire audit creux. Ainsi, lorsque la seconde bande périphérique est superposée à la première bande périphérique d'un autre élément modulaire, la saillie s'imbrique dans le creux de la première bande périphérique d'un autre élément modulaire. Ainsi, l'opérateur peut facilement s'assurer que l'orientation de l'élément modulaire qu'il souhaite disposé est correcte. La saillie et le creux agissent donc comme un « détrompeur ».In one embodiment, the first peripheral band forms at least one hollow and the second peripheral band forms at least one projection consisting of at least one portion of pattern and shape complementary to said hollow. Thus, when the second peripheral band is superimposed on the first peripheral band of another modular element, the projection is embedded in the hollow of the first peripheral band of another modular element. Thus, the operator can easily make sure that the orientation of the modular element that he wishes is correct. The projection and the hollow therefore act as a "key".

Avantageusement, la première bande périphérique forme une première portion en créneau et la seconde bande périphérique forme une seconde portion en créneau de forme complémentaire à ladite première portion en créneau. Ainsi, lorsque la seconde bande périphérique est superposée à la première bande périphérique d'un autre élément modulaire, les portions en créneau s'imbriquent l'une dans l'autre. Cette réalisation permet de simuler un ouvrage réel dans laquelle les rangées d'éléments de construction sont décalées et permet en sus de jouer le rôle d'un détrompeur.Advantageously, the first peripheral band forms a first crenellated portion and the second peripheral band forms a second slot shaped portion complementary to said first slot portion. Thus, when the second peripheral band is superimposed on the first peripheral band of another modular element, the crenellated portions fit one into the other. This embodiment makes it possible to simulate an actual structure in which the rows of building elements are offset and in addition allows them to act as a polarizer.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la première et la seconde bande périphérique forment des bords opposés dudit élément.In one embodiment of the invention, the first and the second peripheral band form opposite edges of said element.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la trame présente une troisième bande périphérique formant au moins un creux et une quatrième bande périphérique formant au moins une saillie constituée d'au moins une portion de motif et de forme complémentaire audit creux formé par la troisième bande.In another embodiment of the invention, the weft has a third peripheral band forming at least one hollow and a fourth peripheral strip forming at least one projection consisting of at least a portion of pattern and shape complementary to said hollow formed by the third band.

Dans un mode de réalisation, la première et la seconde bande périphérique d'une part et la troisième et la quatrième bande périphériques d'autre part forment des bords adjacents dudit élément modulaire. Les éléments modulaires adjacents sont donc pivotés d'un quart de tour les uns par rapport aux autres de sorte à créer une diversité d'orientation de motifs importante. Cette diversité d'orientation permet de simuler l'apparence d'ouvrages rustiques sans pour autant utiliser des éléments modulaires de superficie importante.In one embodiment, the first and the second peripheral band on the one hand and the third and fourth peripheral band on the other hand form adjacent edges of said modular element. Adjacent modular elements are thus rotated a quarter of a turn relative to each other so as to create an important pattern orientation diversity. This diversity of orientation makes it possible to simulate the appearance of rustic works without using modular elements of large area.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, les bandes périphériques sont arquées. Ce mode de réalisation particulier permet notamment la réalisation de pavage en queue de paon.In another embodiment of the invention, the peripheral strips are arcuate. This particular embodiment allows in particular the realization of paving peacock tail.

Avantageusement, la trame comporte une feuille cartonnée dont les faces, interne et externe, sont plastifiées. Ainsi, la trame est imperméabilisée.Advantageously, the frame comprises a cardboard sheet whose inner and outer faces are laminated. Thus, the weft is waterproofed.

Avantageusement, l'élément modulaire comporte une pellicule siliconée plaquée contre la face interne de la trame et permettant de conserver l'humidité de l'adhésif jusqu'à l'application de l'élément.Advantageously, the modular element comprises a silicone film pressed against the inner face of the frame and to retain the moisture of the adhesive until the application of the element.

Avantageusement, ladite pellicule siliconée présente un profil identique à la trame. Ainsi, l'élément modulaire est simple à réaliser car la trame et la feuille siliconée peuvent être découpées simultanément.Advantageously, said silicone film has a profile identical to the frame. Thus, the modular element is simple to achieve because the frame and the silicone sheet can be cut simultaneously.

Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention concerne un ensemble de décoration comprenant une pluralité d'éléments modulaires identiques selon le premier aspect de l'invention.According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a decoration assembly comprising a plurality of identical modular elements according to the first aspect of the invention.

Enfin, selon un troisième aspect, l'invention concerne un procédé de décoration d'une surface à l'aide d'un ensemble de décoration selon le deuxième aspect de l'invention comprenant les étapes suivantes consistant à :

  • disposer un premier élément modulaire contre la surface à décorer ;
  • disposer un second élément modulaire contre la surface à décorer en superposant sur une première bande périphérique non rectiligne du premier élément modulaire une seconde bande périphérique non rectiligne du second élément modulaire présentant un profil superposable sur toute sa largeur à ladite première bande périphérique.
Finally, according to a third aspect, the invention relates to a method of decorating a surface using a decoration assembly according to the second aspect of the invention comprising the following steps:
  • arranging a first modular element against the surface to be decorated;
  • disposing a second modular element against the surface to be decorated by superimposing on a first non-rectilinear peripheral strip of the first modular element a second non-rectilinear peripheral strip of the second modular element having a profile that is superposable over its entire width to said first peripheral strip.

Avantageusement, l'on dispose une pluralité d'éléments modulaires identiques contre la surface à décorer, chacun desdits éléments modulaire étant lié à chacun des éléments modulaires adjacents par superposition d'un bande périphérique dudit élément modulaire en cause avec une bande périphérique du élément modulaire adjacent.Advantageously, a plurality of identical modular elements are disposed against the surface to be decorated, each of said modular elements being connected to each of the adjacent modular elements by superposing a peripheral band of said modular element in question with a peripheral band of the modular element. adjacent.

Avantageusement, lorsque la première bande périphérique comporte au moins un creux et la seconde bande périphérique comporte une saillie formant le contour d'au moins un motif, le procédé comprend une étape de positionnement de l'élément modulaire de sorte que la saillie vienne s'imbriquer dans le creux de la première bande périphérique lorsque la seconde bande périphérique est superposée à la première bande périphérique.Advantageously, when the first peripheral band comprises at least one hollow and the second peripheral band comprises a projection forming the contour of at least one pattern, the method comprises a step of positioning the modular element so that the projection comes s' nested in the hollow of the first peripheral band when the second peripheral band is superimposed on the first peripheral band.

EXEMPLES DE RÉALISATIONEXAMPLES OF REALIZATION

Les figures 1, 3 et 5 représentent différents modes de réalisation d'éléments modulaires 1 selon l'invention.The figures 1 , 3 and 5 represent different embodiments of modular elements 1 according to the invention.

Chaque élément modulaire 1 formant pochoir comporte une trame dans laquelle est découpée une pluralité de motifs 2 délimités par des bandes 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d. Les motifs évidés 2 présentent ici des formes de pavés (figures 1 à 4) ou de pierres (figures 5 et 6) et les bandes 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d présentent la forme de joints qui sont généralement formés entre les pavés, pierres ou dalles d'un ouvrage réel. Ainsi, lorsque l'on applique un enduit au travers des motifs évidés 2 d'une trame positionnée contre la surface à décorer, on constitue un revêtement qui simule l'apparence d'un sol ou d'un mur réalisé avec des pavés, des pierres, des dalles, des briques...Each modular element 1 forming a stencil comprises a frame in which is cut a plurality of patterns 2 delimited by bands 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d. The recessed motifs 2 present here paver shapes ( Figures 1 to 4 ) or stones ( Figures 5 and 6 ) and the bands 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d have the form of joints which are generally formed between the paving stones, stones or slabs of a real work. Thus, when a coating is applied through the recessed patterns 2 of a screen positioned against the surface to be decorated, a coating is created which simulates the appearance of a floor or a wall made with paving stones, stones, slabs, bricks ...

En outre, de sorte à simuler des joints, les bandes 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d présentent des largeurs sensiblement constantes variant entre quelques millimètres et quelques centimètres en fonction du type d'ouvrage à simuler. On notera également que, dans certains modes de réalisation, notamment lorsque l'on souhaite simuler un ouvrage en pierre, les bandes 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d ne sont pas rectilignes et présentent des irrégularités de sorte à simuler des joints grossiers et rendre le revêtement réalisé plus réaliste.In addition, so as to simulate joints, the bands 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d have substantially constant widths varying between a few millimeters and a few centimeters depending on the type of structure to be simulated. It will also be noted that, in certain embodiments, especially when it is desired to simulate a stone structure, the strips 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are not rectilinear and have irregularities so as to simulate rough and make the coating realized more realistic.

La trame est constituée d'une feuille de carton rigide 5 dans laquelle sont découpés les motifs 2 dont la forme est choisie en fonction du revêtement à réaliser.The weft consists of a rigid cardboard sheet 5 in which are cut the patterns 2 whose shape is chosen according to the coating to be made.

En référence avec la figure 7, la feuille de carton rigide 5 présente une épaisseur qui est, de préférence, comprise entre 0,5 et 10 millimètres en fonction du relief que l'on souhaite donner au revêtement. La feuille de carton rigide 5 est sensiblement plane et comporte une épaisseur constante.In reference with the figure 7 , the rigid cardboard sheet 5 has a thickness which is preferably between 0.5 and 10 millimeters depending on the relief that is desired to give the coating. The rigid cardboard sheet 5 is substantially flat and has a constant thickness.

Les faces, interne 6a et externe 6b, de la feuille de carton 5 sont de préférence recouvertes d'un film plastique 7a, 7b, en polyéthylène par exemple. La plastification de la feuille de carton 5 vise à imperméabiliser la trame.The inner faces 6a and 6b of the outer sheet of cardboard 5 are preferably covered with a plastic film 7a, 7b, polyethylene for example. The plasticization of the cardboard sheet 5 is intended to waterproof the weft.

La face interne de la trame est recouverte d'un adhésif 8 de sorte à permettre de fixer l'élément modulaire sur ladite surface à décorer, d'une part, et de permettre la liaison entre deux éléments modulaires 1, d'autre part. L'adhésif 8 pourra être constitué de tous type de colle à fort pouvoir plaquant. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'adhésif 8 utilisé sera une colle aqueuse à base acrylique et vinylique.The inner face of the frame is covered with an adhesive 8 so as to allow the modular element to be fixed on said surface to be decorated, on the one hand, and to allow the connection between two modular elements 1, on the other hand. The adhesive 8 may be made of any type of glue with high plating power. In one embodiment, the adhesive 8 used will be an aqueous adhesive based on acrylic and vinyl.

Par ailleurs, les éléments modulaires 1 comportent également une pellicule siliconée 9 plaquée contre la face interne de la trame. La pellicule siliconée 9 présente un profil identique à la trame et permet de conserver l'humidité de l'adhésif 8 de sorte à préserver son pouvoir adhésif jusqu'à l'application de l'élément modulaire 1 sur la surface à décorer.Furthermore, the modular elements 1 also comprise a silicone film 9 pressed against the inner face of the frame. The silicone film 9 has a profile identical to the weft and keeps the moisture of the adhesive 8 so as to preserve its adhesive power until the application of the modular element 1 on the surface to be decorated.

Un exemple de procédé de fabrication des éléments modulaires 1 est illustré sur la figure 6. Des bobines 10 de carton plastifié sont placées sur un dévidoir 11 de sorte à pouvoir être déroulées. Un adhésif 8 est pulvérisé sur la face interne de la feuille de carton 5 via le dispositif référencé 12. Par la suite, le film siliconé 9, initialement conditionné en rouleaux 14 placés sur des dévidoirs 15, est déroulé et plaqué contre la face interne 5a de la feuille de carton plastifiée par un dispositif de compression à rouleaux 16. Enfin, la feuille de carton 5 et le film siliconé 9 sont découpés simultanément de sorte à réaliser les formes et motifs désirés.An example of a method of manufacturing modular elements 1 is illustrated on the figure 6 . Reels 10 of plasticized cardboard are placed on a reel 11 so that they can be unrolled. An adhesive 8 is sprayed on the inner face of the cardboard sheet 5 via the device referenced 12. Thereafter, the silicone film 9, initially packaged in rolls 14 placed on reels 15, is unwound and pressed against the inner face 5a. of the plasticized cardboard sheet by a roller compression device 16. Finally, the cardboard sheet 5 and the silicone film 9 are cut simultaneously so as to achieve the desired shapes and patterns.

Selon l'invention, la trame présente au moins une première et une seconde bandes 4a, 4b périphériques non rectilignes présentant des profils superposables sur sensiblement toute leur largeur. On entend par « profils superposables » au sens de la présente description, des profils ayant des formes sensiblement identiques de sorte que lorsque ces profils sont superposés, leurs bords se superposent exactement. Ainsi, pour assurer la liaison entre deux éléments modulaires, l'on superpose l'une desdites deux bandes périphériques 4a, 4b non rectilignes d'un premier élément modulaire 1 sur l'autre desdites deux bandes périphériques 4b, 4a non rectilignes du second élément modulaire.According to the invention, the frame has at least first and second non-rectilinear peripheral strips 4a, 4b having superimposable profiles over substantially their entire width. The term "superimposable profiles" in the sense of the present description, profiles having substantially identical shapes so that when these profiles are superimposed, their edges are superimposed exactly. Thus, to ensure the connection between two modular elements, one of said two non-rectilinear peripheral strips 4a, 4b is superimposed on a first modular element 1 on the other of said two non-rectilinear peripheral strips 4b, 4a of the second element. modular.

De manière avantageuse, la totalité du pourtour de la trame est constituée d'une pluralité de bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d qui présentent chacune un profil superposable avec un profil d'une autre desdites bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.Advantageously, the entire perimeter of the frame consists of a plurality of peripheral strips 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d which each have a stackable profile with a profile of another of said peripheral strips 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la trame présente une pluralité de rangées horizontales de motifs 2 représentant des éléments de construction. Afin de simuler un ouvrage réel, les rangées sont décalées par rapport à leurs rangées contiguës de telle sorte que les bandes verticales séparant les motifs et simulant des joints ne soient jamais alignés sur deux rangées superposées, comme dans les ouvrages réels.In the embodiment shown on the Figures 1 and 2 the weft has a plurality of horizontal rows of patterns 2 representing construction elements. In order to simulate a real work, the rows are offset from their adjoining rows so that the vertical bands separating the patterns and simulating seams are never aligned in two superimposed rows, as in the actual works.

Les deux bords latéraux sont formés de bandes périphériques 4a, 4b présentant des profils superposables identiques de sorte qu'ils peuvent être disposés l'un sur l'autre tel qu'il est illustré sur la figure 2. En outre, les bandes périphériques 4a, 4b des bords latéraux suivent le contour des motifs 2 et forment des portions en créneau constituées d'une alternance de saillies renfermant des portions de motifs et de creux. La portion en créneau de la bande périphérique 4a est de forme complémentaire à la portion en créneau de la bande périphérique 4b. Ainsi, lorsque les bandes périphériques 4a, 4b de deux éléments modulaires sont superposées, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 2, les portions en créneau 4a, 4b viennent s'imbriquer l'une dans l'autre, les portions en saillie formés par l'une des bandes 4a, 4b venant s'imbriquer dans les creux formés par l'autre bande périphérique 4b, 4a.The two lateral edges are formed of peripheral strips 4a, 4b having identical superimposable profiles so that they can be arranged one on the other as illustrated on the drawing. figure 2 . In addition, the peripheral strips 4a, 4b of the lateral edges follow the outline of the patterns 2 and form grooved portions consisting of an alternation of projections enclosing portions of patterns and recesses. The slot portion of the peripheral strip 4a is of complementary shape to the slot portion of the peripheral strip 4b. Thus, when the peripheral strips 4a, 4b of two modular elements are superimposed, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , the crenellated portions 4a, 4b are interlocked one into the other, the projecting portions formed by one of the strips 4a, 4b coming to interlock in the recesses formed by the other peripheral band 4b, 4a.

Les portions en créneaux permettent notamment de faciliter la pose des éléments modulaires 1 en évitant l'erreur humaine dans le positionnement relatif des éléments modulaires 1. Ces portions en créneau jouent donc le rôle de détrompeur en garantissant que l'opérateur oriente correctement les éléments les uns par rapport aux autres.The crenellated portions make it possible, in particular, to facilitate the laying of the modular elements 1 while avoiding human error in the relative positioning of the modular elements 1. These crenelated portions therefore play the role of polarizing by guaranteeing that the operator correctly orients the elements one against another.

Les bords supérieurs sont également formés des bandes périphériques 4c, 4c', 4d, 4d' qui présentent des profils superposables. La bande périphérique 4c présente un profil identique à la bande périphérique 4d. Par ailleurs, dans la réalisation représentée, la bande périphérique 4c' formant une portion gauche du bord supérieur est superposable avec la bande périphérique 4d' formant une portion droite du bord inférieur. Cet agencement particulier permet de maintenir des décalages entre les rangées superposées à la jointure entre deux éléments modulaires 1.The upper edges are also formed of peripheral strips 4c, 4c ', 4d, 4d' which have superimposable profiles. The peripheral band 4c has a profile identical to the peripheral band 4d. Moreover, in the embodiment shown, the peripheral strip 4c 'forming a left portion of the upper edge is stackable with the peripheral band 4d 'forming a straight portion of the lower edge. This particular arrangement makes it possible to maintain offsets between the rows superimposed on the join between two modular elements 1.

Les figures 3 et 4 représentent un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, dans lequel l'ensemble d'éléments modulaires 1 vise à reproduire un pavage en queue de paon. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la trame comporte une pluralité de rangées courbes de motifs 2 représentant des pavés. Dans ce cas, les bords de l'élément modulaire 1 sont arquées et présentent des rayons de courbure sensiblement identique. La trame présente des bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4c', 4c", 4d arquées définissant les bords de l'élément modulaire 1. On notera que le rayon de courbure des bords de l'élément modulaire 1 est sensiblement identique au rayon de courbure des rangés de motifs 2.The Figures 3 and 4 represent a second embodiment of the invention, in which the set of modular elements 1 is intended to reproduce a peacock tail tessellation. In this embodiment, the frame comprises a plurality of curved rows of patterns 2 representing blocks. In this case, the edges of the modular element 1 are arcuate and have substantially identical radii of curvature. The weft has peripheral bands 4a, 4b, 4c, 4c ', 4c ", 4d arcuate defining the edges of the modular element 1. Note that the radius of curvature of the edges of the modular element 1 is substantially identical to the radius curvature of rows of patterns 2.

L'assemblage entre différents éléments modulaires 1 est représenté sur la figure 4. La bande 4a définissant un bord latérale gauche d'un élément est destinée à venir se superposer sur une bande 4c" située sur la portion droite du bord supérieur d'un autre élément 1. La bande 4b définissant un bord latéral droite d'un élément 1 est destinée à venir se superposer sur la bande 4c' située sur la portion gauche du bord supérieur d'un autre élément 1. Enfin, le bord inférieur 4d est destiné à venir se superposer sur une portion centrale 4c du bord supérieur d'un autre élément 1.The assembly between different modular elements 1 is represented on the figure 4 . The band 4a defining a left lateral edge of an element is intended to be superimposed on a band 4c "situated on the right portion of the upper edge of another element 1. The band 4b defining a right lateral edge of an element 1 is intended to be superimposed on the band 4c 'located on the left portion of the upper edge of another element 1. Finally, the lower edge 4d is intended to be superimposed on a central portion 4c of the upper edge of a other element 1.

La figure 5 représente un élément modulaire 1 selon un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. L'élément modulaire 1 comporte une trame présentant quatre bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d définissant chacun un bord dudit élément modulaire 1.The figure 5 represents a modular element 1 according to a third embodiment of the invention. The modular element 1 comprises a frame having four peripheral strips 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d each defining an edge of said modular element 1.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, chacune des bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d formant le pourtour de l'élément présente un profil non rectiligne formant un creux ou une saillie constituée d'une portion de motif 2. Les bandes périphériques 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d présentent deux à deux des profils identiques, dont l'un forme une saillie et dont l'autre forme un creux. La saillie formée par la bande périphérique 4d est de forme complémentaire au creux formé par la bande périphérique 4a. De même, la saillie formée par la bande périphérique 4c est de forme complémentaire au creux formé par la bande périphérique 4b.In this embodiment, each of the peripheral strips 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d forming the periphery of the element has a non-rectilinear profile forming a recess or a projection consisting of a portion of pattern 2. The peripheral strips 4a, 4b , 4c, 4d show in pairs identical profiles, one of which forms a protruding and the other forms a hollow. The projection formed by the peripheral band 4d is of complementary shape to the hollow formed by the peripheral band 4a. Similarly, the projection formed by the peripheral strip 4c is of complementary shape to the hollow formed by the peripheral strip 4b.

Lorsque les deux bandes appariées 4a, 4d et 4b 4c, de deux éléments modulaires sont superposées, la saillie de l'une des bandes 4d ; 4c vient s'imbriquer dans le creux de l'autre bande 4a ; 4c.When the two paired strips 4a, 4d and 4b 4c, of two modular elements are superimposed, the projection of one of the bands 4d; 4c is nestled in the hollow of the other band 4a; 4c.

Dans le mode de réalisation représentée sur la figure 5, les bandes périphériques qui présentent des profils superposables forment des bords adjacents. Ainsi, la bande périphérique 4a formant l'un des bords latéraux présente un profil superposable identique à la bande périphérique 4d formant le bord supérieur et la bande périphérique 4b formant l'autre bord latéral présente un profil superposable identique à la bande périphérique 4c formant le bord supérieur. Ainsi, chacun des éléments modulaires 1 est pivoté de 90 ° par rapport aux éléments modulaires adjacents 1 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 6.In the embodiment shown on the figure 5 , the peripheral bands which have superimposable profiles form adjacent edges. Thus, the peripheral band 4a forming one of the lateral edges has a similar superimposable profile to the peripheral band 4d forming the upper edge and the peripheral band 4b forming the other lateral edge has a similar superimposable profile to the peripheral band 4c forming the upper edge. Thus, each of the modular elements 1 is rotated 90 ° relative to the adjacent modular elements 1 as shown in FIG. figure 6 .

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 9 et 10, la trame présente trois motifs 2 superposés, décalés les uns par rapport aux autres et représentant des éléments de construction. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'élément modulaire 1 supérieur est pivoté de 180 ° par rapport à l'élément modulaire inférieur. L'assemblage entre deux éléments modulaires 1 est représenté sur la figure 10. La bande périphérique 4c' formant une portion droite du bord supérieur est superposable avec la bande périphérique 4c formant une portion gauche du bord supérieur et la bande périphérique 4d' formant une portion droite du bord inférieur est superposable avec la bande périphérique 4de formant une portion gauche du bord inférieur. Cet agencement particulier permet de maintenir des décalages entre les rangées superposées à la jointure entre deux éléments modulaires 1.In the embodiment shown on the Figures 9 and 10 the weft has three patterns 2 superimposed, offset from each other and representing building elements. In this embodiment, the upper modular element 1 is rotated 180 ° relative to the lower modular element. The assembly between two modular elements 1 is represented on the figure 10 . The peripheral strip 4c 'forming a straight portion of the upper edge is superposable with the peripheral strip 4c forming a left portion of the upper edge and the peripheral strip 4d' forming a straight portion of the lower edge is superposable with the peripheral strip 4de forming a left portion from the bottom edge. This particular arrangement makes it possible to maintain offsets between the rows superimposed on the join between two modular elements 1.

Par ailleurs, les deux bords latéraux sont formés de bandes périphériques 4a, 4b présentant des profils superposables identiques. En outre, les bandes périphériques 4a, 4b des bords latéraux suivent le contour des motifs 2 et forment des portions en créneau de formes complémentaires.Moreover, the two lateral edges are formed of peripheral strips 4a, 4b having identical superimposable profiles. In addition, the bands peripherals 4a, 4b of the lateral edges follow the outline of the patterns 2 and form nested portions of complementary shapes.

Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement destiné à être disposé à cheval entre deux parois formant un angle.This embodiment is particularly intended to be placed astride between two walls forming an angle.

L'ensemble représenté sur la figure 11 est composé de quatre éléments modulaires selon un cinquième mode de réalisation formant une rosace. Chaque élément modulaire 1 comporte un bord périphérique extérieur 4a et un bord périphérique intérieur 4b sensiblement inscrit dans un cercle. Les éléments modulaires 1 comportent également des bords périphériques radiaux 4c et 4d présentant des portions dont le profil est superposable. Ainsi, pour assurer la liaison entre deux éléments modulaires 1 et former une rosace, l'on superpose l'une desdites deux bandes périphériques 4c, 4d d'un premier élément modulaire 1 sur l'autre desdites deux bandes périphériques 4b, 4a non rectilignes du second élément modulaire.The whole represented on the figure 11 is composed of four modular elements according to a fifth embodiment forming a rosette. Each modular element 1 comprises an outer peripheral edge 4a and an inner peripheral edge 4b substantially inscribed in a circle. The modular elements 1 also comprise radial peripheral edges 4c and 4d having portions whose profile is superimposable. Thus, to ensure the connection between two modular elements 1 and form a rosette, one of said two peripheral strips 4c, 4d is superposed on a first modular element 1 on the other of said two non-rectilinear peripheral strips 4b, 4a. the second modular element.

Le procédé de décoration d'une surface sera décrit par la suite.The process of decorating a surface will be described later.

La surface à décorer sera par exemple une surface en béton.The surface to be decorated will be for example a concrete surface.

Dans un premier temps, la surface à décorer est préparée. Lorsque la couleur initiale de la surface à décorer correspond à la couleur attendue du joint, la surface à décorer n'est pas enduite d'une sous-couche. Aussi, dans ce cas, il suffit de nettoyer la surface avant d'y positionner la trame. Au contraire, lorsque la couleur initiale de la surface à décorer ne correspond pas à la couleur de joint attendu, une sous-couche d'enduit dont la couleur correspond à la couleur de joint souhaité est appliquée sur la surface à décorer.At first, the surface to be decorated is prepared. When the initial color of the surface to be decorated corresponds to the expected color of the joint, the surface to be decorated is not coated with an underlayer. Also, in this case, it is sufficient to clean the surface before positioning the frame. On the contrary, when the initial color of the surface to be decorated does not correspond to the expected joint color, a plaster sub-layer whose color corresponds to the desired joint color is applied to the surface to be decorated.

Une pluralité d'éléments modulaires 1 est alors disposée contre la surface à décorer. Pour ce faire, il convient de préférence de commencer en posant le premier élément modulaire dans un coin de la surface à décorer en plaquant la face interne recouverte d'adhésif contre ladite surface.A plurality of modular elements 1 is then disposed against the surface to be decorated. To do this, it is preferable to start by placing the first modular element in a corner of the surface to be decorated by plating the inner surface covered with adhesive against said surface.

Par la suite, un second élément modulaire 1 est également disposé contre la surface à décorer en plaquant la face interne de l'élément modulaire contre la surface à décorer. Lors de cette étape, le second élément modulaire doit être positionné de telle sorte qu'une bande périphérique dudit second élément modulaire soit superposée sur une bande périphérique superposable du premier élément modulaire. Cette opération pourra notamment être facilitée lorsque les bandes périphériques sont équipées de saillies et/ou de portion en créneaux jouant le rôle de détrompeur.Subsequently, a second modular element 1 is also disposed against the surface to be decorated by plating the inner face of the modular element against the surface to be decorated. In this step, the second modular element must be positioned so that a peripheral band of said second modular element is superimposed on a superimposable peripheral band of the first modular element. This operation may especially be facilitated when the peripheral strips are equipped with projections and / or slotted portion acting as polarizer.

La superposition des bandes périphériques identiques de deux éléments modulaires 1 adjacent permet d'assurer un positionnement relatif précis entre les éléments modulaires. Aussi, lors de la pose des éléments modulaires, il suffit de s'assurer que le premier élément est positionné correctement par rapport à la surface pour que l'ensemble de décoration soit positionné convenablement.The superposition of the identical peripheral strips of two adjacent modular elements 1 makes it possible to ensure precise relative positioning between the modular elements. Also, when laying the modular elements, it is sufficient to ensure that the first element is positioned correctly relative to the surface so that the decoration assembly is positioned properly.

D'autres éléments modulaires 1 sont positionnés successivement contre la surface à décorer en superposant un de leurs bords périphériques avec l'un des bords périphériques des éléments modulaires adjacent jusqu'à ce que toute la surface à décorer soit équipée d'éléments modulaires 1.Other modular elements 1 are positioned successively against the surface to be decorated by superimposing one of their peripheral edges with one of the peripheral edges of the adjacent modular elements until the entire surface to be decorated is equipped with modular elements 1.

Afin de s'assurer que les différents éléments modulaires 1 soit en contact sur la totalité des trames avec la paroi à décorer, on pourra notamment prévoir que les différents éléments modulaires subissent un lissage, au rouleau par exemple.In order to ensure that the various modular elements 1 are in contact on all the frames with the wall to be decorated, it will be possible in particular to provide that the various modular elements undergo a smoothing, roller for example.

Lorsque les éléments modulaires 1 ont été correctement disposés contre la surface à décorer, un enduit coloré peut alors être appliqué uniformément sur toute la surface à traiter. Cette application peut notamment se faire à l'aide d'une truelle, d'une taloche ou d'un rouleau par exemple. Il est en outre possible de pratiquer différentes technique selon l'effet attendu et ainsi de jouer sur l'aspect de surface. Par exemple, en utilisant un rouleau, on donnera à la surface un aspect plus poreux.When the modular elements 1 have been correctly placed against the surface to be decorated, a colored coating can then be applied uniformly over the entire surface to be treated. This application may in particular be done using a trowel, a trowel or a roller for example. It is also possible to practice different techniques depending on the expected effect and thus play on the surface appearance. For example, using a roller will give the surface a more porous appearance.

On notera que selon l'invention, les trames des éléments modulaires adhérant contre la surface à traiter, il est possible d'appliqué l'enduit par coulage sur une surface à décorer horizontale sans pour autant que ledit enduit coule entre la surface et la trame.It will be noted that according to the invention, the frames of the modular elements adhering against the surface to be treated, it is possible to apply the coating by casting on a surface to be decorated horizontally without said coating flows between the surface and the frame .

Avantageusement, les enduits utilisés seront des enduits chargés en résine acrylique qui permettent d'obtenir des couches de revêtement de faible épaisseur présentant une bonne résistance à l'abrasion.Advantageously, the coatings used will be acrylic resin filled coatings which make it possible to obtain thin coating layers having a good resistance to abrasion.

Enfin, les trames sont soigneusement enlevées de la surface décorée de sorte à faire apparaître un revêtement reproduisant l'apparence des murs ou sols traditionnels. De préférence, les trames sont retirées avant que l'enduit ne soit sec. En outre, selon l'invention, les éléments modulaires étant liées les uns aux autres par les bandes périphériques superposables, l'ensemble des éléments modulaires 1 peut être retiré lors d'une seule opération.Finally, the frames are carefully removed from the decorated surface so as to reveal a coating reproducing the appearance of traditional walls or floors. Preferably, the frames are removed before the coating is dry. In addition, according to the invention, the modular elements being linked to each other by superimposable peripheral strips, all the modular elements 1 can be removed in a single operation.

Avantageusement, l'on pourra également prévoir une étape de finition lors de laquelle l'on frotte légèrement la surface du revêtement ainsi réalisé à l'aide d'une brosse, par exemple, lorsque l'enduit est sec. Cette étape permet d'obtenir un résultat plus net.Advantageously, it is also possible to provide a finishing step in which the surface of the coating thus produced is slightly rubbed with a brush, for example when the coating is dry. This step provides a clearer result.

L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de réalisation de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.The invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that the skilled person is able to achieve different embodiments of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention.
