ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the field of assembling elements of structures in the form of flat pieces and tubular elements, particularly for leisure equipment, especially equipment for playgrounds for children, and has for its object an assembly device for flat pieces and tubular elements.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The structures for leisure equipment, particularly for playground equipment for children, are generally constituted by an assembly of flat pieces in the form of panels and tubular elements simultaneously forming the infrastructure. To this end, the infrastructure of tubular elements is in the form of a mechanical-welded assembly or mechanically assembled assembly, on which are fixed the flat pieces. The assembly of these pieces on the infrastructure is at present carried out by the provision of mounting tongues, secured to the tubular elements and on which the flat pieces are fixed by screwing or bolting, these mounting tongues being also of metal, so as to satisfy the requirements of mechanical strength.
Such an embodiment however has the drawback of requiring a relatively complicated assembly work for the pieces by welding and precise positioning of these latter. Thus, the mounting tongues adapted for the securement of the flat pieces require extremely precise positioning on the infrastructure, so as to avoid any error of securement of the flat pieces and eventual misalignment of these latter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has for its object to overcome these drawbacks by providing an assembly device for flat pieces and tubular elements permitting simple and rapid mounting of the pieces of different shape, whilst ensuring perfect finish of the equipment thus provided.
Thus, according to the invention, the assembly device for flat pieces and tubular elements is characterized in that it is essentially constituted by securement means for the flat pieces on said tubular elements, said securement means being provided each with at least one prepositioning and gripping means on the infrastructure tubular elements.
