Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device with orientable jaws, adaptable on any support, for stably ensuring a clamping, an assembly, a spacing, a holding in position or a mounting on said support of parts of arbitrary shapes and dimensions.
- tools with jaws or jaws used for clamping or assembling parts generally consist of two jaws mounted on a support piece serving as a guide, part along which can slide at least one of these jaws so as to be able to adjust their spacing as a function of the size of the part to be clamped or of the parts to be assembled and / or held in position.
- Numerous devices such as notches, ratchets, screws, springs or the like are provided to maintain the relative position of the jaws and / or to exert pressure on the part or parts to be clamped or assembled.
- the device according to the invention falls into the category of tools with jaws or jaws which are used for clamping or assembling parts, tools whose jaws or jaws move parallel to themselves, both for laying and for clamping. .
- the second movable part can be screwed onto the support rod beforehand. But this faculty offers a fairly limited range of variation in the spacing and because of the need to tighten, the adjustment is slow. But if we use the fact that the first jaw element is movable on the support rod, we obtain a much larger range and an almost immediate adjustment. It is the improvement which this patent brings compared to the patent of the United States of America N ° 3 044 512 which protected an identical device except that the first jaw element was fixed on the support rod.
- the support rod must be removed. collared, threaded; the second moving part must be drilled with two holes of different diameters, one of these holes having to be threaded; the first moving part must be armed with a hard insert; the second jaw element must be crimped onto the spring housing once the spring is engaged on the support rod and the housing slid around the second movable part.
- the present invention aims at a much simpler constitution device and which offers the same advantages as the device described above, with in addition the services mentioned above that the latter could not render.
- the device according to the invention is of the type comprising at least two movable parts mounted on a part called "support", each of these movable parts being provided with means allowing its mounting, its translation and its blocking along said support, at least one of these moving parts being connected to a jaw element by means of a continuous and adjustable compression means, elastic means of the coil spring type or equivalent and at least one of these moving parts constituting it -even another jaw element, said movable part being able to tilt and lock by tilting against the support part, the jaw elements moving, both for fitting and for clamping, assembly and holding in position, in parallel to themselves, said jaw elements may each comprise one or more jaws or jaws of any shape and size, this device being characterized in that the part called "support »Is of cylindrical external shape, of uniform section, this section is of any shape and size and said support part is easily interchangeable with a cylindrical part of the same section and of different length, that the moving parts as well as the jaw elements can rotate around said support, the passage of the support in these moving parts is cylindrical, that
- the device can be mounted head to tail with a device of the same type along a common support so that these devices can be actuated one after the other. the other, or simultaneously, without mutual annoyance by the same set of controls.
- the jaws or jaws that comprise the jaw elements are orientable.
- each of the parts which constitute the device according to the invention can be composed of a homogeneous material.
- the abutment piece (4) plays an essential role in the case where the jaws are differently oriented around the support (2); however, the torque effect no longer exists if the jaws face each other and the part (4), which is removable, is no longer essential.
- the action on the spring (7) in the direction of the arrow (F) can be done manually by acting directly on the jaw element (1 a) and keeping it in the desired position with or without the help of d '' a mechanical locking means as long as necessary.
- Such an auxiliary device must be designed to, on the one hand, be able to slide said jaw element (1a) along the rod section (2a) by compressing the spring (7), and on the other hand, to be able to maintain said compression spring (therefore the jaw elements (1) and (1 a) separated) without other intervention as long as the part or parts in question have not been inserted between these jaws.
- FIG. 1-2 The embodiment illustrated in Figures 1-2 is a non-limiting example of such an auxiliary device.
- This includes a control bracket (8) provided with a control handle (9) and mounted articulated at (6a) on the movable part (6) in the form of a ring.
- This stirrup cooperates with two parts such as (12) acting as levers and which are hingedly connected at one of their ends, at (13), to the jaw element (1a) and to the other end to said stirrup by means of a lug (10).
- the fastener (13) is located in the middle position relative to the housing of the jaw element (1a) on the rod section (2a).
- the lug (10) is carried by each of the legs of the stirrup (8) and cooperates with a window or slide (11) produced on each part (12).
- the axis of the guide rod (2a) of the spring (7) is then coincident with the axis of the support part (2).
- FIG. 3 shows two pairs of jaws mounted in the same manner as that which has just been described and which can be actuated by a single control handle. Examination of this figure shows that the spacing of the jaw elements (1-1 a) and the compression of the spring (7) do not prevent the junction of the jaw elements (1 b-1 c) and the relaxation of the spring (7a). In other words, it is possible to grip different pieces independently by means of a single device and with one of the easiest operations.
- the removable stop or support piece (4) can be used for the two assemblies according to the direction of the torques to be canceled or else a piece (4) will be provided for each pair of jaw elements.
- each jaw element of the type (1) and (1 a) can comprise several jaws, in particular two, as illustrated in dashed lines in FIG. 1; the device then comprises, as can be seen in this figure, the jaw elements (1-1 a) and their symmetrics, respectively (1 s) and (1 as).
- the device according to the invention consists, as in the previously described variant, of a support (2), on which are mounted, in the same manner as in this first variant, two movable and orientable parts (1-6).
- the part (1) constitutes one of the jaw elements and the part (6) carries, by means of a compression compression spring (7) mounted on the guide rod (2a), the other jaw element ( 1 a) advantageously mounted so as to be able to pivot and tilt in the direction of the arrows (f1-f2) around the head of said rod (2a).
- This rod crosses the part (6) in the vicinity of its end to come to hang in (13) (according to a possible embodiment) to a bent part (8-9-12) in the form of a handle taking pivoting support - in (10) - on the part (6).
- the latter is then, in this case, extended (along 9a) on the side opposite its end through which the rod (2a) passes to form a handle intended to cooperate with the handle (9).
- these two handles have the role, when pushing the handle (9) towards the handle (9a) by hand or by any other appropriate means, of pulling, by pivoting around the zone (10), on the rod (2a), therefore on the jaw element (1 a) which is integral with it and thus compress the spring (7) mounted between this jaw element (1 a) and the part (6), spring guided by said rod (2a).
- auxiliary means (8-9-12) can be eliminated without compromising the tightening.
- This means can therefore be provided removable.
- the auxiliary means (8-9-12) is unnecessary and its operation can be replaced by a simple direct manual action on the parts (1-6) sufficient to compress the spring (7).
- stop or support piece (4) illustrated in the appended figures does not play any role in the case of only use with jaws facing each other; as it is removable, it can then be deleted as in the variant of FIGS. 1,2 and 3.
- the operation of the device according to the invention as a spacer is the same as for clamping, except that the parts (1-6) are mounted on their support so that the jaws which were facing for clamping then "turn their backs".
- compression means illustrated in the drawings for understanding the invention, may be replaced, if necessary, by any equivalent means, such as hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetic, electromagnetic, the condition being that it can exert a continuous and adjustable compression force on the jaw element (s) involved.
- the device of the invention can be easily produced by means of removable and interchangeable parts which are independent of each other and which can be mounted on supports of cylindrical external shape, of uniform section and of any length. It will also be noted that such a device has the advantage of easy maneuvering: in particular, the tightening can be obtained by the action of one hand of the operator.
- the device according to the invention can find multiple applications such as the fixing of devices on a support when such a device is made integral with or constitutes one of the two parts (1-6).

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif à mâchoires orientables, adaptalbe sur tout support, pour assurer de manière stable un serrage, un assemblage, un écartement, un maintien en position ou un montage sur ledit support de pièces de formes et dimensions quelconques.The present invention relates to a device with orientable jaws, adaptable on any support, for stably ensuring a clamping, an assembly, a spacing, a holding in position or a mounting on said support of parts of arbitrary shapes and dimensions.
On sait que les outils à mâchoires ou mors servant au serrage ou à l'assemblage de pièces sont généralement constitués de deux mâchoires montées sur une pièce-support servant de guide, pièce le long de laquelle peut glisser au moins l'une de ces mâchoires de manière à pouvoir régler leur écartement en fonction de l'importance de la pièce à enserrer ou des pièces à assembler et/ou à maintenir en position. De nombreux dispositifs tels qu'à crantage, à cliquet, à vis, à ressorts ou analogues sont prévus pour assurer le maintien de la position relative des mâchoires et/ou pour exercer une pression sur la ou les pièces à enserrer ou à assembler. On se référera par exemple aux brevets français N° 1 214 695,1 233 786, 2 347 156 et 1 368 244, aux brevets des Etats Unis d'Améri- que N° 669 282, 1 424 034, 3 151 897, 3 044 512, 3 218 058 et 4 202 540 et au brevet d'utilité de la République Fédérale d'Allemagne n° G. 8111072.3.It is known that tools with jaws or jaws used for clamping or assembling parts generally consist of two jaws mounted on a support piece serving as a guide, part along which can slide at least one of these jaws so as to be able to adjust their spacing as a function of the size of the part to be clamped or of the parts to be assembled and / or held in position. Numerous devices such as notches, ratchets, screws, springs or the like are provided to maintain the relative position of the jaws and / or to exert pressure on the part or parts to be clamped or assembled. Reference may be made, for example, to French patents No. 1,214,695.1 233,786, 2,347,156 and 1,368,244, to patents of the United States of America No. 669,282, 1,424,034, 3,151,897, 3 044 512, 3 218 058 and 4 202 540 and to the utility patent of the Federal Republic of Germany n ° G. 8111072.3.
Le dispositif selon l'invention rentre dans la catégorie des outils à mâchoires ou mors qui servent au serrage ou à l'assemblage de pièces, outils dont les mâchoires ou mors se déplacent parallèlement à eux-mêmes, tant pour la pose que pour le serrage.The device according to the invention falls into the category of tools with jaws or jaws which are used for clamping or assembling parts, tools whose jaws or jaws move parallel to themselves, both for laying and for clamping. .
On sait que dans cette catégorie, les outils dont la force de serrage résulte de l'action d'un ressort disposent sur ceux dont la force de serrage est obtenue par un système à vis, à excentrique, du type came ou genouillère, d'avantages dont les plus marquants sont les suivants:
- - il y a serrage sans risque d'écrasement: la force de serrage limite est la force maximum du ressort;
- - le rattrapage de réduction d'épaisseur de l'ensemble des pièces enserrées est possible; une telle réduction d'épaisseur peut se produire par exemple si les pièces en question ont été assemblées pour être collées et que la colle présente du retrait, soit par un étalement progressif, soit par le séchage.
- - l'assemblage des pièces enserrées résiste bien aux chocs et vibrations.
- - tightening without risk of crushing: the limit clamping force is the maximum spring force;
- - the reduction in thickness reduction of all the enclosed parts is possible; such a reduction in thickness can occur for example if the parts in question have been assembled to be glued and the glue exhibits shrinkage, either by progressive spreading or by drying.
- - the assembly of the enclosed parts withstands shock and vibration well.
Le plus perfectionné de ces outils dont la force de serrage résulte de l'action d'un ressort semblait être jusqu'ici le dispositif objet du brevet des Etats-Unis d'Amérique n° 3 218 058. Ce dispositif comprend:
- - une tige support dont les extrémités sont usinées; l'une des deux, sur une assez grande longueur, a un diamètre plus réduit que la partie centrale de la tige support et est filetée; l'autre extrémité est usinée en bout en forme d'arrêtoir et peut comporter en deçà un crantage sur une partie assez longue;
- - deux pièces mobiles sur le support; la première constitue un élément de mâchoire composé de manière hétérogène d'une partie principale en matériau doux et d'une insertion en matériau dur pour pouvoir à la fois glisser sur la partie du support qui peut être crantée et se bloquer contre elle par basculement; la seconde pièce mobile en forme de cylindre terminé par une collerette est en liaison, côté collerette, avec un second élément de mâchoire par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort à boudin; celui-ci est guidé par la tige support; ce second élément de mâchoire fait face au premier et glisse également sur la tige support; cette seconde pièce mobile est percée suivant son axe de deux trous cylindriques successifs, celui qui est situé du côté de la collerette a un diamètre plus réduit que l'autre et est fileté pour se visser sur la partie filetée de la tige support; la collerette sert de butée au ressort; elle sert également à retenir captif le second élément de mâchoire sur la seconde pièce mobile par l'intermédiaire d'un logement; ce logement est fixé rigidement sur cet élément de mâchoire et glisse sur l'extérieur de la seconde pièce mobile; ce logement abrite le ressort et, par un épaulement sur sa partie qui glisse autour de la seconde pièce mobile, sert de prise à une pince indépendante; celle-ci est rapportée sur le dispositif pour comprimer le ressort; la pince s'appuie alors également sur l'extrémité de la seconde pièce mobile qui est opposée à la collerette. Quand le ressort est comprimé, les éléments de mâchoire se séparent pour encadrer les pièces à enserrer. Le relâchement du ressort provoque l'enserrement des pièces.
- - a support rod whose ends are machined; one of them, over a fairly long length, has a smaller diameter than the central part of the support rod and is threaded; the other end is machined at the end in the form of a retainer and may have a notch on a fairly long part below;
- - two moving parts on the support; the first constitutes a jaw element heterogeneously composed of a main part of soft material and an insertion of hard material so as to be able to both slide over the part of the support which can be notched and lock against it by tilting; the second movable part in the form of a cylinder terminated by a collar is connected, on the collar side, with a second jaw element by means of a coil spring; the latter is guided by the support rod; this second jaw element faces the first and also slides on the support rod; this second movable part is pierced along its axis with two successive cylindrical holes, the one which is located on the side of the collar has a smaller diameter than the other and is threaded to be screwed onto the threaded part of the support rod; the collar serves as a stop for the spring; it also serves to retain the second jaw element captive on the second movable part by means of a housing; this housing is rigidly fixed on this jaw element and slides on the outside of the second movable part; this housing houses the spring and, by a shoulder on its part which slides around the second movable part, serves as a socket for an independent clamp; this is attached to the device to compress the spring; the clamp then also rests on the end of the second movable part which is opposite the flange. When the spring is compressed, the jaw elements separate to frame the parts to be clamped. The loosening of the spring causes the parts to be clamped.
Pour obtenir un écartement des éléments de mâchoires différent pour une même compression du ressort, on peut préalablement visser la seconde pièce mobile sur la tige support. Mais cette faculté offre une plage de variation de l'écartement assez limitée et à cause de la nécessité de visser, l'ajustement est lent. Mais si l'on utilise le fait que le premier élément de mâchoire est mobile sur la tige support, on obtient une plage bien plus importante et un ajustement quasi-immédiat. C'est le perfectionnement que ce brevet apporte par rapport au brevet des Etats Unis d'Amérique N° 3 044 512 qui protégeait un dispositif identique sauf que le premier élément de mâchoire était fixé sur la tige support.To obtain a different spacing of the jaw elements for the same compression of the spring, the second movable part can be screwed onto the support rod beforehand. But this faculty offers a fairly limited range of variation in the spacing and because of the need to tighten, the adjustment is slow. But if we use the fact that the first jaw element is movable on the support rod, we obtain a much larger range and an almost immediate adjustment. It is the improvement which this patent brings compared to the patent of the United States of America N ° 3 044 512 which protected an identical device except that the first jaw element was fixed on the support rod.
Le brevet des Etats Unis d'Amérique N° 3 218 058 analysé ci-dessus introduit en plus la capacité de jumeler deux dispositifs à ressort par les éléments de mâchoires.U.S. Patent No. 3,218,058 discussed above additionally introduces the ability to pair two spring devices by the jaw members.
Potentiellement, donc, le dispositif protégé par ce brevet est très intéressant même s'il ne rend pas des services comme:
- - permettre le serrage en porte-à-faux pour éviter les obstacles;
- - permettre l'écartement par retournement des éléments de mâchoires sur la tige support;
- - permettre l'échange du ressort par un ressort de force différente;
- - permettre la détente complète du ressort;la détente est limitée à la taille du logement.
- - allow clamping in overhang to avoid obstacles;
- - allow the spacing by turning the jaw elements on the support rod;
- - allow the exchange of the spring with a spring of different force;
- - allow complete relaxation of the spring; the relaxation is limited to the size of the housing.
Son défaut réside essentiellement dans sa difficulté de fabrication: la tige support doit être décolletée, filetée; la seconde pièce mobile doit être percée de deux trous de diamètres différents, un de ces trous devant être fileté; il faut armer la première pièce mobile d'une insertion dure; il faut sertir le second élément de mâchoire sur le logement du ressort une fois le ressort engagé sur la tige support et le logement glissé autour de la seconde pièce mobile.Its main fault lies in its manufacturing difficulty: the support rod must be removed. collared, threaded; the second moving part must be drilled with two holes of different diameters, one of these holes having to be threaded; the first moving part must be armed with a hard insert; the second jaw element must be crimped onto the spring housing once the spring is engaged on the support rod and the housing slid around the second movable part.
On comprend alors que ce dispositif qui présente des avantages certains pour l'utilisateur ne puisse être mis à sa disposition à des conditions économiques favorables.It will therefore be understood that this device, which has certain advantages for the user, cannot be made available to it under favorable economic conditions.
La présente invention vise un dispositif de constitution beaucoup plus simple et qui offre les mêmes avantages que le dispositif décrit ci-dessus, avec en plus les services cités plus haut que celui-ci ne pouvait rendre.The present invention aims at a much simpler constitution device and which offers the same advantages as the device described above, with in addition the services mentioned above that the latter could not render.
Cette constitution beaucoup plus simple signifie:

- - que les pièces mobiles sont seulement percées d'un trou cylindrique sans double perçage ni filetage pour le passage de la pièce support;
- - que le logement du ressort est supprimé;
- - que les pièces constituant le dispositif peuvent parfaitement être chacune composée d'un matériau homogène;
- - que ces pièces, dont le ressort, peuvent facilement être échangées.
- - That the support rod in the device according to the invention is a cylindrical part without turning or threading;
- - that the moving parts are only pierced with a cylindrical hole without double drilling or threading for the passage of the support part;
- - that the spring housing is removed;
- - that the parts constituting the device can perfectly be each made of a homogeneous material;
- - that these parts, including the spring, can easily be exchanged.

En se référant à ces dessins, un dispositif selon l'invention comprend:
- - Deux pièces mobiles, l'une (1) constituant elle-même un élément de mâchoire, l'autre (6) portant un second élément de mâchoire (1 a) par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort de compression à boudin (7) et de sa tige guide (2a), chacune de ces pièces mobiles (1-6) étant munie d'un moyen permettant son montage, sa translation et son blocage le long d'un support, avec possibilité d'orientation autour de ce support et de basculement contre ce dernier. Un tel moyen peut être obtenu par exemple par l'utilisation d'un écrou-papillon (tel que 3) sur un collier de serrage. Ce support est tel qu'une tige ou un tube (2) de forme extérieure cylindrique, de section uniforme, cette section ayant une forme et des dimensions quelconques. Un tel support (2) peut éventuellement être inséré dans un socle (E);
- - Une pièce amovible (4) dite «pièce de butée» ou d'appui affectant, par exemple, la forme d'une tige. Cette pièce est également munie d'un moyen permettant son montage, sa translation et son blocage avec possibilité d'orientation sur le même support (2). Ce moyen (5) peut être du même type que celui qui est utilisé sur les pièces (1-6) ou d'un type différent.
- - Two moving parts, one (1) itself constituting a jaw element, the other (6) carrying a second jaw element (1 a) by means of a compression compression spring (7 ) and its guide rod (2a), each of these moving parts (1-6) being provided with a means allowing its mounting, its translation and its blocking along a support, with the possibility of orientation around it. support and tilting against the latter. Such a means can be obtained for example by the use of a wing nut (such as 3) on a clamp. This support is such that a rod or a tube (2) of cylindrical external shape, of uniform section, this section having any shape and dimensions. Such a support (2) can optionally be inserted in a base (E);
- - A removable part (4) known as a "stopper" or support piece affecting, for example, the shape of a rod. This part is also provided with a means allowing its mounting, its translation and its blocking with possibility of orientation on the same support (2). This means (5) can be of the same type as that used on the parts (1-6) or of a different type.
Dans cette forme de réalisation de l'invention, il est possible, en réglant l'écartement entre les éléments de mâchoires, d'enserrer une ou plusieurs pièces (telles que P) sans se préoccuper d'avoir, pour éviter l'effet de couple, à amener les mâchoires rigoureusement en face l'une de l'autre.In this embodiment of the invention, it is possible, by adjusting the spacing between the jaw elements, to grip one or more parts (such as P) without worrying about having, to avoid the effect of couple, to bring the jaws rigorously opposite one another.
En effet, il suffit, pour neutraliser ce couple, de faire porter la pièce de butée ou d'appui (4) contre une surface fixe (S) appartenant ou non à l'ensemble dont fait ou font partie la ou lesdites pièces (telles que P). Cette possibilité procurée grâce au dispositif selon l'invention est d'autant plus intéressante que cette ou ces pièces à enserrer sont d'accès difficile et dont la préhension ne peut être de ce fait envisagée qu'entre des mâchoires diversement orientées et portées par un support (2) ayant une forme et des dimensions ne gênant pas un tel accès ou une telle disposition des mâchoires.In fact, to neutralize this torque, it suffices to bring the abutment or support piece (4) against a fixed surface (S) which may or may not belong to the assembly of which the said part or parts form (or belong). than P). This possibility provided by the device according to the invention is all the more advantageous since this or these parts to be clamped are difficult to access and the gripping of which can therefore only be envisaged between jaws which are variously oriented and carried by a support (2) having a shape and dimensions which do not obstruct such access or such arrangement of the jaws.
On comprend que la pièce de butée (4) joue un rôle essentiel au cas où les mâchoires sont différemment orientées autour du support (2); cependant, l'effet de couple n'existe plus si les mâchoires se font face et la pièce (4), qui est amovible, n'est plus indispensable.It is understood that the abutment piece (4) plays an essential role in the case where the jaws are differently oriented around the support (2); however, the torque effect no longer exists if the jaws face each other and the part (4), which is removable, is no longer essential.
Suivant le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, pour obtenir l'écartement des éléments de mâchoire (1-1 a), il suffit de comprimer, par un moyen quelconque, ledit ressort (7) en contraignant l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) dans le sens de la flèche (F). Cet élément (1 a) s'éloigne alors de l'élément de mâchoire (1 ) dans la mesure où celui-ci a été au préalable amené et bloqué sur le support (2) par un moyen de type collier ou équivalent, ou si tout simplement cet élément de mâchoire (1) a été immobilisé à la main le long dudit support (2). Une fois les éléments de mâchoire écartés, on peut insérer entre eux une pièce à enserrer ou des pièces à assembler. Cette insertion étant réalisée, il suffit de relâcher la contrainte de compression du ressort pour que l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) vienne porter avec force contre la ou lesdites pièces insérées, celle ou celles-ci étant retenues par l'élément de mâchoire (1 ), soit que celui-ci a été au préalable bloqué sur le support (2), soit que cet élément de mâchoire (1 ) se bloque par le basculement que provoque l'appui de ladite ou desdites pièces insérées sur son extrémité éloignée du support (2). Ce basculement s'opère comme pour les perches sur le câble d'un téleski. La force qui s'exerce finalement sur ladite pièce ou lesdites pièces insérées, une fois que l'on a cessé de contraindre l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) dans le sens de la flèche F, est d'autant plus importante que le ressort reste comprimé sur une plus grande longueur de sa course. Cette longueur est évidemment égale à l'épaisseur de ladite pièce ou desdites pièces insérées, diminuée de l'écartement de départ entre les éléments de mâchoires (1) et (1 a) avant compression du ressort (7).According to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, to obtain the spacing of the jaw elements (1-1 a), it suffices to compress, by any means, said spring (7) by constraining the element jaw (1a) in the direction of the arrow (F). This element (1 a) then moves away from the jaw element (1) insofar as the latter has been previously brought and blocked on the support (2) by means of a collar or equivalent type, or if quite simply this jaw element (1) has been immobilized by hand along said support (2). Once the jaw elements are spread, a piece to be clamped or pieces to be assembled can be inserted between them. This insertion being carried out, it suffices to release the compression stress of the spring so that the jaw element (1a) comes to bear forcefully against the said inserted part or parts, this or these being retained by the jaw part (1), either that it has been previously blocked on the support (2), or that this jaw element (1) is blocked by the tilting caused by the support of said one or more pieces inserted on its far end of the support (2). This tilting takes place as for the poles on the cable of a ski lift. The force ultimately exerted on said part or said parts inserted, once one has ceased to constrain the jaw element (1 a) in the direction of arrow F, is all the more important as the spring remains compressed over a greater length of its race. This length is obviously equal to the thickness of said piece or of said inserted pieces, reduced by the starting distance between the jaw elements (1) and (1a) before compression of the spring (7).
L'action sur le ressort (7) dans le sens de la flèche (F) peut se faire manuellement en agissant directement sur l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) et en le maintenant dans la position voulue avec l'aide ou non d'un moyen mécanique de blocage aussi longtemps que nécessaire. On peut également agir par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif auxiliaire. Un tel dispositif auxiliaire doit être conçu pour, d'une part, pouvoir faire glisser ledit élément de mâchoire (1 a) le long du tronçon de tige (2a) en comprimant le ressort (7), et d'autre part, pouvoir maintenir ledit ressort en compression (donc les éléments de mâchoires (1 ) et (1 a) écartés) sans autres interventions aussi longtemps que la ou les pièces en cause n'ont pas été insérées entre ces mâchoires.The action on the spring (7) in the direction of the arrow (F) can be done manually by acting directly on the jaw element (1 a) and keeping it in the desired position with or without the help of d '' a mechanical locking means as long as necessary. One can also act through an auxiliary device. Such an auxiliary device must be designed to, on the one hand, be able to slide said jaw element (1a) along the rod section (2a) by compressing the spring (7), and on the other hand, to be able to maintain said compression spring (therefore the jaw elements (1) and (1 a) separated) without other intervention as long as the part or parts in question have not been inserted between these jaws.
Le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1-2 est un exemple non limitatif d'un tel dispositif auxiliaire. Celui-ci comprend un étrier de commande (8) muni d'une poignée de commande (9) et monté articulé en (6a) sur la pièce mobile (6) en forme de bague. Cet étrier coopère avec deux pièces telles que (12) jouant le rôle de leviers et qui sont reliées de façon articulée à l'une de leur extrémité, en (13), à l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) et à l'autre extrémité audit étrier par l'intermédiaire d'un ergot (10). La fixation (13) est située en position médiane par rapport au logement de l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) sur le tronçon de tige (2a). L'ergot (10) est porté par chacune des branches de l'étrier (8) et coopère avec une fenêtre ou glissière (11) réalisée sur chaque pièce (12). L'axe de la tige guide (2a) du ressort (7) est alors confondu avec l'axe de la pièce support (2).The embodiment illustrated in Figures 1-2 is a non-limiting example of such an auxiliary device. This includes a control bracket (8) provided with a control handle (9) and mounted articulated at (6a) on the movable part (6) in the form of a ring. This stirrup cooperates with two parts such as (12) acting as levers and which are hingedly connected at one of their ends, at (13), to the jaw element (1a) and to the other end to said stirrup by means of a lug (10). The fastener (13) is located in the middle position relative to the housing of the jaw element (1a) on the rod section (2a). The lug (10) is carried by each of the legs of the stirrup (8) and cooperates with a window or slide (11) produced on each part (12). The axis of the guide rod (2a) of the spring (7) is then coincident with the axis of the support part (2).
On voit facilement qu'en manoeuvrant la poignée dans le sens de F1, la pièce (6) étant immobilisée en position, l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) est sollicité vers le bas (flèche F) et le ressort (7) est comprimé. Suivant le montage relatif des articulations du système, il est aisé de comprendre que cette poignée peut occuper une position basse d'équilibre faisant que, sans autre intervention, ledit élément de mâchoire (1 a) reste abaissé et ledit ressort (7) comprimé aussi longtemps qu'on le désire.It is easy to see that by operating the handle in the direction of F1, the part (6) being immobilized in position, the jaw element (1 a) is biased downwards (arrow F) and the spring (7) is compressed. According to the relative mounting of the joints of the system, it is easy to understand that this handle can occupy a low equilibrium position so that, without other intervention, said jaw element (1a) remains lowered and said spring (7) also compressed as long as desired.
Vouloir ramener la poignée (9) à sa position de départ initiale implique la rupture de cet équilibre. L'élément de mâchoire (1 a) est alors chassé vers le haut (flèche F2) pour retrouver la position de départ telle qu'illustrée à la figure 1. Toutefois, si une ou plusieurs pièces sont insérées entre les éléments de mâchoires (1) et (1 a), ceux-ci sont à leur tour soumis à la contrainte exércée par le ressort (7) qui restera comprimé partiellement du fait de l'épaisseur même de la ou desdites pièces insérées. Même si cette épaisseur venait à se réduire sous l'effet du serrage, ou à varier sous l'effet de sollicitations extérieures quelconques, on conçoit aisément que le serrage sera maintenu car le ressort n'est en aucune façon gêné dans son expansion.Wanting to bring the handle (9) back to its initial starting position involves breaking this balance. The jaw element (1 a) is then driven upwards (arrow F2) to return to the starting position as illustrated in FIG. 1. However, if one or more parts are inserted between the jaw elements (1 ) and (1 a), these are in turn subjected to the stress exerted by the spring (7) which will remain partially compressed due to the very thickness of the inserted piece or pieces. Even if this thickness were to reduce under the effect of the tightening, or to vary under the effect of any external stresses, it is easily understood that the tightening will be maintained because the spring is in no way hindered in its expansion.
On a représenté sur la figure 3, deux couples de mâchoires montées de la même manière que celle qui vient d'être décrite et pouvant être actionnées par une seule poignée de commande. L'examen de cette figure montre que l'écartement des éléments de mâchoires (1-1 a) et la compression du ressort (7) n'empêchent pas la jonction des éléments de mâchoires (1 b-1 c) et la détente du ressort (7a). Autrement dit, il est possible d'enserrer indépendamment des pièces différentes au moyen d'un seul dispositif et avec une opération des plus faciles. Bien entendu, la pièce amovible de butée ou d'appui (4) pourra servir aux deux ensembles suivant le sens des couples à annuler ou bien il sera prévu une pièce (4) pour chaque paire d'éléments de mâchoires.FIG. 3 shows two pairs of jaws mounted in the same manner as that which has just been described and which can be actuated by a single control handle. Examination of this figure shows that the spacing of the jaw elements (1-1 a) and the compression of the spring (7) do not prevent the junction of the jaw elements (1 b-1 c) and the relaxation of the spring (7a). In other words, it is possible to grip different pieces independently by means of a single device and with one of the easiest operations. Of course, the removable stop or support piece (4) can be used for the two assemblies according to the direction of the torques to be canceled or else a piece (4) will be provided for each pair of jaw elements.
On comprendra aisément que chaque élément de mâchoire du type (1 ) et (1 a) peut comporter plusieurs mâchoires, en particulier deux, comme illustré en tiretés sur la figure 1; le dispositif comporte alors, comme on le voit sur cette figure, les éléments de mâchoires (1-1 a) et leurs symétriques, respectivement (1 s) et (1 as).It will be easily understood that each jaw element of the type (1) and (1 a) can comprise several jaws, in particular two, as illustrated in dashed lines in FIG. 1; the device then comprises, as can be seen in this figure, the jaw elements (1-1 a) and their symmetrics, respectively (1 s) and (1 as).
En se référant maintenant à la variante de réalisation illustrée à la figure 4, le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué comme dans la variante précédemment décrite, d'un support (2), sur lequel sont montées, de la même manière que dans cette première variante, deux pièces mobiles et orientables (1-6). La pièce (1) constitue un des éléments de mâchoires et la pièce (6) porte, par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort de compression à boudin (7) monté sur la tige guide (2a), l'autre élément de mâchoire (1 a) avantageusement monté de manière à pouvoir pivoter et basculer dans le sens des flèches (f1-f2) autour de la tête de ladite tige (2a). Cette tige traverse la pièce (6) au voisinage de son extrémité pour venir s'accrocher en (13) (suivant une forme d'exécution possible) à une pièce coudée (8-9-12) en forme de poignée prenant appui pivotant - en (10) - sur la pièce (6). Cette dernière est alors, dans ce cas, prolongée (suivant 9a) du côté opposé à son extrémité traversée par la tige (2a) pour former une poignée destinée à coopérer avec la poignée (9).Referring now to the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the device according to the invention consists, as in the previously described variant, of a support (2), on which are mounted, in the same manner as in this first variant, two movable and orientable parts (1-6). The part (1) constitutes one of the jaw elements and the part (6) carries, by means of a compression compression spring (7) mounted on the guide rod (2a), the other jaw element ( 1 a) advantageously mounted so as to be able to pivot and tilt in the direction of the arrows (f1-f2) around the head of said rod (2a). This rod crosses the part (6) in the vicinity of its end to come to hang in (13) (according to a possible embodiment) to a bent part (8-9-12) in the form of a handle taking pivoting support - in (10) - on the part (6). The latter is then, in this case, extended (along 9a) on the side opposite its end through which the rod (2a) passes to form a handle intended to cooperate with the handle (9).
On notera que ces deux poignées ont pour rôle, lorsqu'on pousse la poignée (9) vers la poignée (9a) à la main ou par tout autre moyen approprié, de tirer, par pivotement autour de la zone (10), sur la tige (2a), donc sur l'élément de mâchoire (1 a) qui lui est solidaire et de comprimer ainsi le ressort (7) monté entre cet élément de mâchoire (1 a) et la pièce (6), ressort guidé par ladite tige (2a).It will be noted that these two handles have the role, when pushing the handle (9) towards the handle (9a) by hand or by any other appropriate means, of pulling, by pivoting around the zone (10), on the rod (2a), therefore on the jaw element (1 a) which is integral with it and thus compress the spring (7) mounted between this jaw element (1 a) and the part (6), spring guided by said rod (2a).
Les commentaires faits à propos de la variante des figures 1-2 s'appliquent ici aussi. On insistera sur le fait que, quelle que soit la manière dont est monté le moyen de compression utilisé (tel que le ressort 7), que ce soit sur un tronçon du support (2) ou sur une tige (2a) parallèle à ce dernier, la force de compression s'applique directement sur l'élément de mâchoire correspondant (tel que (1 a) ), sans aucun autre élément intermédiaire.The comments made about the variant of Figures 1-2 also apply here. It will be emphasized that, whatever the manner in which the compression means used (such as the spring 7) is mounted, whether on a section of the support (2) or on a rod (2a) parallel to the latter, the compressive force is applied directly to the corresponding jaw element (such as (1 a)), without any other intermediate element.
Ainsi, une fois la pose réalisée, on conçoit aisément que l'on peut supprimer le moyen auxiliaire (8-9-12) sans compromettre le serrage. Ce moyen peut donc être prévu amovible. D'ailleurs, dans le cas où la force du moyen de compression (tel que le ressort (7) n'est pas trop importante, le moyen auxiliaire (8-9-12) est inutile et à sa manoeuvre peut être substituée une simple action manuelle directe sur les pièces (1-6) suffisante pour comprimer le ressort (7). On peut aussi prévoir un moyen connu (non représenté) pour maintenir à volonté pendant la durée voulue les deux poignées (9-9a) rapprochées en exerçant ainsi la pression maximale recherchée. De même, par basculement, le blocage des pièces mobiles (1-6) contre le support (2) peut être facilement assuré, ne serait-ce que par l'appui direct - et indirect par l'intermédiaire du ressort - des pièces insérés sur l'extrémité côté ressort desdites pièces mobiles, comme il a été précisé plus haut dand le cas de la pièce mobile (1) pour la variante des figures 1-2. Dans ce cas, on peut se dispenser des systèmes de fixation amovibles (3) desdites pièces mobiles (1-6). Une simple action sur l'extrémité de ces pièces mobiles, à l'opposé du côté où se trouve le ressort, suffit pour les ramener (après basculement) à leur position initiale.Thus, once the installation has been carried out, it is easily understood that the auxiliary means (8-9-12) can be eliminated without compromising the tightening. This means can therefore be provided removable. Moreover, in the case where the force of the compression means (such as the spring (7) is not too great, the auxiliary means (8-9-12) is unnecessary and its operation can be replaced by a simple direct manual action on the parts (1-6) sufficient to compress the spring (7). One can also provide a known means (not shown) to maintain at will for the desired duration the two handles (9-9a) close together by exerting thus the maximum pressure sought. Similarly, by tilting, the locking of the moving parts (1-6) against the support (2) can be easily ensured, if only by direct support - and indirect through of the spring - parts inserted on the spring side end of said moving parts, as was specified above in the case of the moving part (1) for the variant of FIGS. 1-2. In this case, it is possible to dispense with removable fixing systems (3) of said moving parts (1-6). A simple action on the end of these parts es mobile, opposite the side where the spring is located, is enough to return them (after tilting) to their initial position.
En outre, comme il a été indiqué plus haut, la pièce de butée ou d'appui (4) illustrée sur les figures annexées ne joue aucun rôle dans le cas de seule utilisation avec mâchoires se faisant face; comme elle est amovible, elle peut alors être supprimée comme sur la variante des figures 1,2 et 3.In addition, as indicated above, the stop or support piece (4) illustrated in the appended figures does not play any role in the case of only use with jaws facing each other; as it is removable, it can then be deleted as in the variant of FIGS. 1,2 and 3.
Par ailleurs, la manoeuvre du dispositif selon l'invention en tant qu'écarteur est la même que pour le serrage, sauf que les pièces (1-6) sont montées sur leur support de sorte que les mâchoires qui se faisaient face pour le serrage se «tournent alors le dos».Furthermore, the operation of the device according to the invention as a spacer is the same as for clamping, except that the parts (1-6) are mounted on their support so that the jaws which were facing for clamping then "turn their backs".
Il va de soi que le moyen de compression, illustré sur les dessins pour la compréhension de l'invention, pourra être remplacé, au besoin, par tout moyen équivalent, tel que hydraulique, pneumatique, magnétique, électromagnétique, la condition étant de pouvoir exercer une force de compression continue et ajustable sur le ou les éléments de mâchoires impliqués.It goes without saying that the compression means, illustrated in the drawings for understanding the invention, may be replaced, if necessary, by any equivalent means, such as hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetic, electromagnetic, the condition being that it can exert a continuous and adjustable compression force on the jaw element (s) involved.
Le dispositif de l'invention peut être aisément réalisé au moyen de pièces amovibles et interchangeables indépendantes les unes des autres pouvant être montées sur des supports de forme extérieure cylindrique, de section uniforme et de longueur quelconque. On notera aussi qu'un tel dispositif présente l'avantage d'une manoeuvre aisée: en particulier, le serrage peut être obtenu par l'action d'une seule main de l'opérateur.The device of the invention can be easily produced by means of removable and interchangeable parts which are independent of each other and which can be mounted on supports of cylindrical external shape, of uniform section and of any length. It will also be noted that such a device has the advantage of easy maneuvering: in particular, the tightening can be obtained by the action of one hand of the operator.
Il est à noter le dispositif selon l'invention peut trouver des applications multiples telles que la fixation d'appareils sur un support lorsqu'un tel appareil est rendu solidaire de ou constitue l'une des deux pièces (1-6).It should be noted that the device according to the invention can find multiple applications such as the fixing of devices on a support when such a device is made integral with or constitutes one of the two parts (1-6).
