Description

The invention relates to the technical sector of shelters and more particularly relates to a shade.

The invention finds a particularly advantageous application for equipping car parks or other spaces, such as those intended for sale, exhibition ...

It is recalled that an umbrella serves to protect particular people and / or automotive or other equipment, especially against any external atmospheric agent, such as the sun, rain, snow ...

Various technical solutions have been proposed to make shades. They may, for example, be made from a wood frame or a metal frame covered with any protection in the form of panels or others. The cover elements can also be made, in whole or in part, by photovoltaic panels. Generally, the load-bearing structure of the shades is designed to occupy the minimum space on the ground, in order to free up a maximum of space. This results in shading structures significantly dimensionally requiring foundations and important infrastructure difficult to envisage when, for example, to equip a parking or other space already developed.

The object of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages in a simple, safe, effective and rational manner.

The problem to be solved by the invention is to propose an optimum modeling of the different components of the shade, both in terms of transport and assembly on the site with time savings between supply and delivery with always aim to obtain maximum protection for a minimum of space on the ground, in order to free up the circulation and storage space.

To solve such a problem, it has been designed an upright composed of poles subject to a structure equipped with protection elements against external atmospheric agents. The shade comprises two posts spaced substantially along the width of the structure, each post being fixed at its base with articulation capacity to a support made integral with a solid mass or barrel concrete, the upper end of each post being coupled with articulation capacity to a part of the structure, at least one strut being connected angularly, in an articulated manner, between the base of each post and a part of the structure.

Given these characteristics, including the joint at the foot of the post, it is possible to maximize the foundations that remain superficial, even in the presence of poor soil. It is therefore possible to implement foundation techniques of current and proven technicality. The realization of concrete drums at the foot of the post, which is supported by the foundation, makes it possible to compensate for any differences in levels that may be present in the space where the shades can be installed.

To solve the problem of reducing the stresses, each pole comprises at least two struts offset by 90 degrees and angularly connected between their base and a part of the structure.

For the articulated mounting of the posts, the support receiving the post constitutes a clevis for its assembly with articulation capacity by means of an axis.

As regards the articulated mounting of the struts, the ends of the struts are constituted by a yoke cooperating with arrangements of the base of the post and the structure, for mounting a hinge pin.

In one embodiment, the structure is composed of two crosspieces one end of which is coupled to the upper end of the corresponding post and a spar coupled at each end to the upper end of the posts, between said crosspieces.

It follows from these provisions that the structure appears cantilever with respect to the posts.

In another preferred form of the invention, the structure is composed of two crosspieces, one end of which is coupled to the upper end of one of the sides of the corresponding post, and two other cross members, one of whose ends and coupled to the upper end of the other side of said post, said crosspieces being arranged in alignment, a spar being coupled at each end to the top of the posts, between said crosspieces.

Given the basic design of the shade, it is possible to couple several shade structures composed of, as indicated. For this purpose, the free ends of the cross members of a structure, are coupled, in an articulated manner, the free ends of the cross members of another structure that has another shackle.

Advantageously, the crosspieces are oriented angularly upwards from their zone of coupling to the posts.

According to other characteristics, the protection elements of the structure are photovoltaic panels mounted between faults connecting the sleepers.

The invention is explained below in more detail with the help of the figures of the accompanying drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of the structure according to an embodiment of the shade; FIG. 2 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 after placement of the protection elements; - Figure 3 is a side view corresponding to Figure 1; - Figure 4 is a side view corresponding to Figure 3; - Figure 5 shows a simplified embodiment of the shade; - Figures 6, 7 and 8 are partial views showing different altimeter setting possibilities through the concrete well; - Figure 9 is a partial perspective view showing the mounting of the posts; - Figure 10 shows the coupling of several shadehouses.

The shelter is composed of two posts (1) and (2) subject to a structure, designated overall by (S) and covered with protection elements against any external atmospheric agent, as will be indicated in the continuation of the description. The space between said posts (1) and (2) substantially corresponds to the width of the structure (S). Each post (1) and (2) is fixed at its base, with articulation capacity, to a support (3) made integral with a concrete block (4) in the form of a well. The support (3) constitutes a clevis for mounting the posts (1) and (2) with articulation capacity by means of an axis (5). The fixing of each of the supports (3) on the corresponding concrete well (4), is carried out by any known and appropriate means, for example by means of a sole that has the support (3) and cooperating with bodies of anchoring (not shown).

The upper end of each post (1) and (2) is coupled, also with articulation capacity, to a part of the structure. The posts (1) and (2) may be of any section, in particular polygonal, and advantageously square or rectangular. Struts (6) and (7) are also mounted in combination with the posts (1) and (2), and part of the structure. In particular, each post (1) and (2) comprises two struts (6) and (7) offset by 90 ° and connected, in an articulated manner, between the base of the corresponding post and a part of the structure. For example, the ends (6a) and (6b) and (7a) and (7b) struts (6) and (7) are constituted by a yoke cooperating with arrangements (8) that the base of each of the posts (1) and (2) and a part of the structure for mounting a hinge pin (11).

In a simplified embodiment, the structure is composed of two parallel crosspieces (12) and (13), one of whose free ends is coupled with articulation capacity to the upper part of the columns (1) and (2) by a screed system (14). A spar (15) is mounted between the two posts (1) and (2) and, therefore, between the two crosspieces (12) and (13).

The free ends of the spar (15) are, for example, mounted in a yoke (16) formed at the upper end of each of the posts (1) and (2). It therefore appears that the structure is arranged cantilever with respect to the posts (1) and (2). The struts (6) that the posts (1) and (2) have, are connected at (6b) to the crosspieces (12) and (13), while the struts (7) are connected in (7b) to the spar (15). Note that the crosspieces (12) and (13) are bridged by faults (17) for mounting the protective elements, as will be indicated in the following description. The purlins (17) can overflow crosspieces (12) and (13).

In an advantageous embodiment and as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the structure is made from four crosspieces of which two (12) and (13) are arranged on one side of the posts (1) and (2). , while the other two (18) and (19) are arranged on the other side of said posts (1) and (2), in alignment with the other crosspieces (12) and (13). In this case, each of the posts (1) and (2) is equipped with another strut (20) articulated as the strut (6) at the foot of the pole and the corresponding cross member (18) or (19). ). The struts (6) and (20) are arranged symmetrically with respect to the corresponding pole (1) or (2). In this embodiment, there is always a single spar (15).

As shown in the drawing figures, the crosspieces (12) and (13 and (18) and (19) are oriented angularly upwards from their coupling zone at the upper end of the columns (1) and (2) Advantageously, the protection elements (21) mounted on the structure, in particular in combination with the purlins (17), consist of photovoltaic panels of any known and appropriate type. Similarly, considering the inclination of the structure, the rainwater can be brought down the slope and recovered by any known and appropriate means, for example, through the hollow section. posts (1) and / or (2).

Given the ground anchoring characteristics of the posts (1) and (2) retaining, that is to say articulated relative to the support (3) fixed on the concrete well (4), it is possible to compensate for differences in levels likely to appear on large surfaces. Thus, as shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8, it is sufficient to vary the depth of the concrete well (4) relative to the ground (S). A protective element (22) of any suitable type and shape may enclose at the base of each post (1) by integrating the concrete well (4) (Figure 9).

Finally, in a major way, considering the basic design of the shade, especially in the case of a double slope shade, it is possible to couple, in an articulated manner, the free ends of the sleepers ( 12) and (13) and / or (18) and (19) at the free ends of the sleepers of other structures has another shackle of identical design (Figure 10).

The advantages are apparent from the description, in particular it is emphasized and recalled: - the structural principle of the hinged shackles with double door-to-25 false, reduces the transverse stress; - the mounting of sleepers with variable inertia accentuates the lightness of the whole of the shade; the spacing of the purlins placed in continuity makes it possible to adapt directly to any type of photovoltaic panel; - the lack of connection between the elements reinforces the lightness of the whole; the adaptation to the ground by the articulated mounting of the foot of the post at the level of the support makes it possible to optimize as much as possible by superficial foundations which make it possible to use standard and proven foundation techniques; - the realization of poles futs supported on the foundation makes it possible to compensate the differences of levels; - the aesthetics obtained. 10
