CA 2168586

A framing system (10) is disclosed including three-dimensional structural members (12, 14) formed from planar panels (16) having their edges removably secured together by provisions (48) including slide connectors (66, 174) which receive lugs (52) slideably received in and abutting with latches (56). The panels (16) include interconnect ports (22) having integral, concentric tubes (24). The exterior faces (18) of the structural members (12, 14) are abutted together, with the structural members (12, 14) being clamped by a clamp (28) having a central wall (30) abutting with the tubes (24) and first and second side walls (32, 34) abutting with the free faces (25) of the tubes (24). Relative rotation is prevented between the clamp (28) and the structural members (12, 14) by detents (44) formed in the clamp (28) which are received in notches (26) formed in the free face (25) of the tubes (24). A hanging accessory (114) includes an end plate (116) having a U-shaped channel (120) formed therein and a cable (122) secured thereto. By sliding the U-shaped channel (120) over the thickness of the tube (24), the hanging accessory (114) is able to pass through the port (22) and be oriented to abut with the tube (24). Provisions (84) are also provided for attaching accessories including a sleeve (86) having a removable cover (88). The sleeve (86) includes a cylindrical portion (96) slideably received in the ports (22) and having detents (102) slideable through the notches (26) of the tubes (24) and abuttable with the tubes (24) intermediate the notches (26).

L'invention concerne un système d'encadrage (10) comprenant des éléments structurels tridimensionnels (12, 14) formés à partir de panneaux plans (16) dont les bords sont assemblés de manière démontable à l'aide des dispositifs (48) suivants: des raccords à glissière (66, 174) dans lesquels des languettes (52) viennent s'encastrer par glissement et buter contre des loquets (56). Les panneaux (16) ont des ouvertures d'interconnexion (22) dotées de tubes concentriques solidaires (24). Les faces extérieures (18) des éléments structurels (12, 14) butent les unes contre les autes, les éléments structurels (12, 14) étant fixés à l'aide d'un crampon (28) dont la paroi centrale (30) bute contre les tubes (24) et dont la première et la seconde paroi latérale (32, 34) butent contre les faces libres (25) des tubes (24). La rotation relative entre le crampon (28) et les éléments structurels (12, 14) est empêchée grâce à des goujons d'arrêt (44) formés dans le crampon (28) qui s'encastrent dans des encoches (26) prévues dans la face libre (25) des tubes (24). Un accessoire de suspension (114) comprend une plaque de bout (116) dans laquelle est prévu un profilé en U (120) auquel est fixé un câble (122). En faisant glisser le profilé en U (120) sur l'épaisseur du tube (24), l'accessoire de suspension (114) peut passer à travers l'ouverture (22) et être orienté de manière à venir buter contre le tube (24). Des dispositifs (84) sont également prévus comme accessoires de fixation, notamment un manchon (86) doté d'une couverture amovible (88). Ce manchon (86) a une partie cylindrique (96) qui vient se loger par glissement dans les ouvertures (22) et dont les goujons d'arrêt glissent le long des encoches (26) prévues dans les tubes (24) et viennent ainsi buter contre les tubes (24) entre les encoches.
