Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la commande automatique de mouvements, en particulier par des personnes handicapées, et a pour objet un appareil tourne-pages automatique.The present invention relates to the field of automatic movement control, in particular by disabled people, and relates to an automatic page-turning device.

Actuellement, les perdonnes handicapées totales ne peuvent s'adonner à la lecture des journaux ou de livres qu'avec l'aide de tierces personnes restant continuellement dans leur entourage, afin de leur tourner les pages.Currently, people with total disabilities can indulge in reading newspapers or books only with the help of third parties continuously around them, in order to turn the pages.

Ce procédé est cependant très aliénant pour le malade et très astreignant pour la personne s'occupant dudit malade, les deux devant continuellement être l'une en présence de l'autre. En outre, notamment dans le cas de livres, il est souvent nécessaire de maintenir les pages en position ouverte.This process is however very alienating for the patient and very demanding for the person caring for the said patient, the two must continuously be in the presence of the other. In addition, especially in the case of books, it is often necessary to keep the pages in the open position.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un appareil tourne-pages automatique, caractérisé en ce qu'il est essentiellement constitué par un châssis sous forme de pupitre légèrement incliné par rapport à l'horizontale, sur lequel est monté un support pivotant de soutien d'un cadre de réception d'un livre ou d'un journal, par un dispositif de manoeuvre des pages commandé en déplacement par des relais inverseurs, par des contacts de fin de course, par une cellule optique de commande, par une prise de courant électrique et par un interrupteur de mise en marche et d'arrêt.It has, in fact, for its object an automatic page-turning device, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by a frame in the form of a desk slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal, on which is mounted a pivoting support for supporting '' a frame for receiving a book or a newspaper, by a device for maneuvering the pages, controlled in displacement by reversing relays, by limit switch contacts, by an optical control cell, by an electrical outlet and by an on / off switch.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un appareil conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'un cadre de réception d'un journal, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en plan représentant une réglette de manoeuvre de pages pour livre et une autre pour journal.
The invention will be better understood from the description below, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus according to the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a frame for receiving a newspaper, and
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a strip for operating pages for books and another for newspapers.

Conformément à l'invention, et comme le montre plus particulièrement, à titre d'exemple, la figure 1 des dessins annexés, l'appareil tourne-pages automatique est essentiellement constitué par un châssis 1 en forme de pupitre légèrement incliné par rapport à l'horizontale, sur lequel est fixé un support pivotant 2 de soutien d'un cadre 3 de réception d'un livre ou d'un cadre 4 de réception d'un journal (figure 2), par un dispositif 5 de manoeuvre des pages, qui est commandé en déplacement par des relais inverseurs 6, par des contacts de fin de course 7, par une cellule optique de commande 8, par une prisé de courant électrique 38, et par un interrupteur de mise en marche et d'arrêt 33.In accordance with the invention, and as shown more particularly, by way of example, FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the automatic page-turning device essentially consists of a chassis 1 in the form of a desk slightly inclined relative to the horizontal, on which is fixed a pivoting support 2 for supporting a frame 3 for receiving a book or a frame 4 for receiving a newspaper (FIG. 2), by a device 5 for maneuvering the pages, which is controlled in displacement by reversing relays 6, by limit switches 7, by an optical control cell 8, by a prized electrical current 38, and by an on / off switch 33.

Le châssis 1 porte, à sa partie avant, le support pivotant 2 au moyen d'une équerre 9, et, à sa partie arrière le dispositif de manoeuvre 5 au moyen de deux montants d'extrémité 10, ainsi que les relais inverseurs 6 logés dans un carter de protection 11, et un boîtier électronique 12 de réglage de l'intensité du flux lumineux et de détection des changements de ce flux, de la cellule optique de commandeG8, qui est avantageusement fixée sur l'un des montants 10 du dispositif de manoeuvre 5.The chassis 1 carries, at its front part, the pivoting support 2 by means of a bracket 9, and, at its rear part the operating device 5 by means of two end uprights 10, as well as the reversing relays 6 housed in a protective casing 11, and an electronic unit 12 for adjusting the intensity of the light flux and for detecting changes in this flux, of the optical control cell G 8, which is advantageously fixed to one of the uprights 10 of the operating device 5.

Le support pivotant 2 est fixé sur l'équerre 9 au moyen d'une charnière 9', et est constitué par une plaque 13 munie sur sa face supérieure de deux plots 14 de positionnement des cadres 3 et 4 et d'un trou 15 de passage d'une vis de fixation desdits cadres sur le support 2, cette plaque 13 étant pourvue sur sa face inférieure, près de l'extrémité opposée à la charnière 9' d'un appui 16 pour un élément de ressort 17, qui tend à faire basculer la plaque 13 autour de la charnière 9', cet élément 17 étant maintenu en position de non-utilisation au moyen d'un verrou coulissant 18.The pivoting support 2 is fixed to the bracket 9 by means of a hinge 9 ', and is constituted by a plate 13 provided on its upper face with two studs 14 for positioning the frames 3 and 4 and a hole 15 of passage of a screw for fixing said frames on the support 2, this plate 13 being provided on its underside, near the end opposite the hinge 9 'with a support 16 for a spring element 17, which tends to tilt the plate 13 around the hinge 9 ', this element 17 being held in the non-use position by means of a sliding latch 18.

Du côté opposé à la plaque 13, la charnière 9' est munie d'une butée réglable 19 permettant un réglage de pivotement de ladite plaque 13, et, en outre, la charnière 9' est montée de manière réglable en hauteur par coulissement et serrage sur l'équerre 9.On the side opposite to the plate 13, the hinge 9 'is provided with an adjustable stop 19 allowing a pivoting adjustment of said plate 13, and, moreover, the hinge 9' is mounted in an adjustable manner in height by sliding and tightening on square 9.

Le cadre 3 de réception d'un livre est constitué par une planchette pouvant être fixée sur le support 2, tandis que le cadre 4 de réception d'un journal est constitué par un support fixe 20 de montage sur le support 2, et par un élément coulissant 21 guidé sur le support 20 et tendant à presser la partie centrale du journal contre une traverse médiane sous l'action de ressorts 22, ou autres éléments élastiques.The frame 3 for receiving a book is constituted by a board which can be fixed on the support 2, while the frame 4 for receiving a newspaper is constituted by a fixed support 20 for mounting on the support 2, and by a sliding element 21 guided on the support 20 and tending to press the central part of the log against a central crosspiece under the action of springs 22, or other elastic elements.

Le dispositif 5 de manoeuvre des pages est constitué par des réglettes 23 à intercaler entre les pages à tourner et montées à leur extrémité sur un axe de guidage 24 prévu près de l'un des montants 10, ces réglettes étant déplaçables sur l'axe 24 sous l'action d'un ressort 25 appuyant sur un organe de support et de guidage 26, qui peut être immobilisé en position comprimée du ressort au moyen d'un verrou coulissant 27 guidé dans le montant 10, les réglettes 23 étant maintenues sur l'extrémité de l'axe 24 au moyen d'un verrou éclipsable 29, et par un dispositif 28 d'extraction et de déplacement des réglettes 23.The device 5 for maneuvering the pages consists of strips 23 to be inserted between the pages to be turned and mounted at their end on a guide pin 24 provided near one of the uprights 10, these strips being movable on the axis 24 under the action of a spring 25 pressing on a support and guide member 26, which can be immobilized in the compressed position of the spring by means of a sliding lock 27 guided in the upright 10, the strips 23 being maintained on the end of the axis 24 by means of an eclipsable lock 29, and by a device 28 for extracting and moving the strips 23.

Ce dispositif 28 d'extraction et de déplacement des réglettes 23 est constitué par un chariot 30 déplaçable parallèlement au support 2 sur des guides transversaux au moyen d'un ensemble vis 31 - écrou 32 entraîné par un moteur électrique non représenté commandé par des impulsions du boîtier électronique 12, et muni d'une butée 33 d'actionnement du verrou éclipsable 29, d'un doigt 34 d'entraînement d'une réglette 23 coopérant avec un ergot 35 prévu sous la butée 33 et pénétrant dans une rainure 36 de la réglette 23 (figure 3), et d'une butée 37 d'actionnement des contacts de fin de course 7 montés sur chaque montant 10 et commandant les relais inverseurs 6 déterminant le sens de rotation du moteur d'entraînement de l'ensemble vis 31 - écrou 32.This extraction and displacement device 28 strips 23 is constituted by a carriage 30 movable parallel to the support 2 on transverse guides by means of a screw 31 - nut 32 assembly driven by an electric motor not shown, controlled by pulses from the electronic unit 12, and provided with a stop 33 for actuating the eclipsable lock 29, a finger 34 for driving a strip 23 cooperating with a lug 35 provided under the stop 33 and penetrating into a groove 36 in the strip 23 (FIG. 3), and d a stop 37 for actuating the limit switch contacts 7 mounted on each upright 10 and controlling the reversing relays 6 determining the direction of rotation of the drive motor of the screw 31 - nut 32 assembly.

Les réglettes 23 (figure 3) sont avantageusement d'au moins deux longueurs différentes, les plus courtes 23' étant destinées à être insérées entre les pages d'un livre, et les plus longues 23" étant insérées entre les pages d'un Journal, et elles sont, de préférence, réalisées en un matériau transparent de manière'à ne pas gêner la lecture.The strips 23 (FIG. 3) are advantageously at least two different lengths, the shortest 23 'being intended to be inserted between the pages of a book, and the longest 23 "being inserted between the pages of a Journal , and they are preferably made of a transparent material so as not to interfere with reading.

L'appareil conforme à l'invention fonctionne de la manière suivante :

  • Après mise en place d'un livre sur le cadre 3 ou d'un journal sur le cadre 4, les réglettes 23 sont insérées entre un certain nombre de pages du livre ou du journal et enfilées sur l'axe 24, l'organe de support 26 étant immobilisé par le verrou 27. L'élément de ressort 17 est alors libéré au moyen du verrou 18, le verrou 27 est retiré, et la plaque 13 du support 2 bascule vers le haut jusqu'à ce que la réglette supérieure vienne en butée contre le verrou éclipsable 29, et l'appareil est mis en marche au moyen de l'interrupteur 39. Arrivé en fin de lecture de la page de droite, l'utilisateur modifie le flux lumineux par déplacement d'un membre ou de la tête dans ledit flux de la cellule optique de commande 8, dont le boîtier électronique 12 envoie une impulsion de mise en marche au moteur de l'ensemble vis 31 - écrou 32 d'entraînement du chariot 30, qui est déplacé vers la droite au-dessus de la réglette supérieure 23. Le chariot 30 déplace alors le verrou éclipsable 29 libérant ainsi la réglette 23, et au moyen de sa butée 37, il actionne simultanément le contact de fin de course 7 correspondant, qui commande un basculement des relais inverseurs 6 ayant pour effet d'inverser le sens de rotation du moteur et donc le sens de déplacement du chariot 30 vers le contact de fin de course 7 opposé, le chariot emmenant dans sa course, au moyen du doigt 34 et de l'ergot 35, la réglette 23, qui est guidée sur sa face inférieure sur une glissière 40 solidaire des montants 10, cette glissière présentant, du côté opposé à l'axe 24 de guidage des réglettes 23, près du montant 10, un évidement 41 d'éjection des réglettes avant le trajet de retour du chariot 30. Après éjection de la réglette 23, le chariot 30 actionne avec sa butée 33 le contact de fin de course 7, qui inverse à nouveau, par l'intermédiaire des relais 6, le sens de déplacement du chariot 30. Le déplacement du chariot 30 peut être interrompu à tout moment par modification du flux lumineux de la cellule 8 par l'utilisateur. Ainsi, il est possible à ce dernier d'arrêter le moteur quand la réglette est sur la page de gauche du livre afin d'assurer un meilleur maintien des pages. Sous l'évidement 41 de la glissière 40 peut avantageusement être placée une boîte de réception et de rangement des réglettes 23.
The apparatus according to the invention operates as follows:
  • After placing a book on frame 3 or a newspaper on frame 4, the sliders 23 are inserted between a certain number of pages of the book or newspaper and threaded on the axis 24, the support 26 being immobilized by the latch 27. The spring element 17 is then released by means of the latch 18, the latch 27 is removed, and the plate 13 of the support 2 rocks upwards until the upper strip comes in abutment against the eclipsable latch 29, and the apparatus is started by means of the switch 39. When the reader reads the right page, the user modifies the luminous flux by moving a member or the head in said flow of the optical control cell 8, the electronic unit 12 of which sends a starting pulse to the the screw 31 - nut 32 assembly for driving the carriage 30, which is moved to the right above the upper strip 23. The carriage 30 then moves the retractable latch 29 thus releasing the strip 23, and by means of its abutment 37, it simultaneously actuates the corresponding limit switch 7, which controls the switching of the reversing relays 6 having the effect of reversing the direction of rotation of the motor and therefore the direction of movement of the carriage 30 towards the end contact race 7 opposite, the carriage carrying in its race, by means of the finger 34 and the lug 35, the strip 23, which is guided on its underside on a slide 40 integral with the uprights 10, this slide having, on the opposite side at the axis 24 for guiding the strips 23, near the upright 10, a recess 41 for ejecting the strips before the return path of the carriage 30. After ejection of the strip 23, the carriage 30 actuates with its stop 33 the contact limit switch 7, which reverses again, via the relays 6, the direction of movement of the carriage 30. The movement of the carriage 30 can be interrupted at any time by modification of the light flux of the cell 8 by the user. Thus, it is possible for the latter to stop the engine when the strip is on the left page of the book in order to ensure better maintenance of the pages. Under the recess 41 of the slide 40 can advantageously be placed a box for receiving and storing the strips 23.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments, ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
