Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control handle, in particular for electric control.
  • the invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • a first aim of the invention is therefore to propose a control handle, in particular for electric control, which can be used only with one hand, that is to say not requiring to be held with one hand. while the fingers of the other hand operate the control pushbuttons.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a control handle with high security, in particular such that as soon as the manipulator ceases to hold the handle, no control can be carried out.
  • a third object of the invention is to propose a handle particularly easy to handle, while being very safe.
  • control handle comprises means of temporary association of the handle with the hand of the manipulator having the function of realizing the physical association of the handle with the hand of the manipulator, while releasing the fingers of the manipulator's hand holding the handle; and particular control means such as push buttons, actuated by the fingers of the hand of the manipulator, associated with the handle.
  • This control handle may include general control means having as function the general operation of particular control means, active as soon as and as long as the hand of the manipulator is kept associated or pressed against the handle and, on the contrary, inactive when the hand is released, that is to say separated or loosened from the handle, the particular control means can only be made active when they are actuated and simultaneously when the general control means are active.
  • This embodiment of a control handle of this type is particularly advantageous because it avoids accidents. By simply opening the hand and sliding the hand over the handle, the handle is released from the user's hand.
  • the handle has an ergonomic shape adapted to the user's hand.
  • the general control means are protected due to the general shape given to the handle.
  • Figure 1 is a side perspective view of a possible embodiment of the handle according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view, on the opposite side, of the handle of FIG. 1.
  • the invention relates to a control handle '1, in particular an electric control handle which comprises means 2 for associating the handle 1 with the hand 20 of a manipulator.
  • Hand 20 is shown schematically in dashed lines. His thumb, index, middle, ring and little fingers are referenced respectively 19, 21, 22, 23 and 24. The palm and the back of the hand are referenced respectively 25, 26. According to the invention, the hand 20 at the same time holds the handle 1 and can manipulate the control means such as push-buttons which it behaves.
  • the association means 2 have the function of carrying out the temporary physical association of the handle 1 with the hand 20 while freeing the fingers 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 which can be used for the control.
  • control handle 1 also includes general control means (on or off) allowing the general operation of the particular control means%, 8.
  • the general control means 3 are active as soon as and as long as the hand 20 is maintained associated with or pressed on the control handle 1; and inactive when the hand 20 is released, that is to say dissociated or loose from the control handle 1.
  • the particular control means 4, 8 can be made active if they are actuated.
  • the particular control means 4, 8 are and remain inactive even if they are: actuated.
  • the general control means 3 are made active by a part of the hand 20 other than the fingers.
  • the general control means 3 are made active by the palm 25.
  • control handle 1 includes specific control means 4, 8 in the form of push buttons, actuated by the fingers 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 of the hand 20, in particular the ends of the fingers.
  • control means 3, 4, 8 operate by all or nothing. These control means are associated with electrical switches. Return devices urge these electrical switches and the control means 3, 4, 8 to their inactive state for safety reasons.
  • the control means 3, 4, 8 may have two contacts, one contact being offset from the other.
  • the association means 2 comprise lower unidirectional locking means 5 and opposite upper unidirectional locking means 6.
  • the lower 5 and upper 6 locking means comprise curved tongues 5a, 6a, joined to each other by their base to horizontal and transverse unidirectional locking means 7.
  • the tongues 5a, 6a are curved with the concavity turned l towards one another, and towards the locking means 7.
  • the tongues 5a and 6a are spaced from each other by at least a distance equal to the spacing between the two cutting edges of the hand 20 at the palm 25, so that the hand 20 can be placed in the housing defined by the tongues 5a, 6a and the locking means 7.
  • the spacing between the two free ends of the two tongues 5a, 6a is lower, so as to constitute a transverse horizontal blocking acting in the opposite direction to the means 7.
  • the hand 20 is locked horizontally and transversely towards the outside of the handle, in the direction arrow F1, by the tabs 5a, 6a curved.
  • the hand 20 comes into locking vertically and downwards in the direction of the arrow F2 thanks to the tongue 5a which comes into locking on the outer edge of the hand.
  • the hand is blocked vertically and upwards in the direction of the arrow F3 by the tongue 6a which comes to block on the inner cutting edge of the hand adjoining the thumb.
  • the hand is locked horizontally, transversely and towards the handle itself by the locking means 7.
  • the tongues 5a, 6a are joined to one another and form a sort of arch for the passage of the hand.
  • the locking means of the hand 20 do not prevent the easy and rapid separation of the hand 20 and the handle 1.
  • the hand 20 cannot be introduced into the housing formed by the locking means 5, 6, 7, that is to say cooperate with the handle 1 in order to be associated with the latter, only by axial sliding of the hand.
  • the locking means 7 on which is intended to come to rest the palm 25 of the hand 20 are constituted by a face forming protuberance 7b of a middle portion 7a of general shape at least substantially pseudo-cylindrical.
  • the protuberance 7b, placed between the tongues 5a, 5b is convexly turned towards the concavity of the tongues 5a, 6a.
  • the assembly formed by the tongues-) your 5a, 6a and the protrusion 7b has in elevation a shape general of tiny omega possibly closed.
  • the protuberance 7b marries, with a view to accommodating itself there, the hollow or trapezoid of the hand 20, the middle part has a longitudinal axis XX.
  • the general control means 3 are located at the place or in the vicinity of the protuberance 7b so that the hollow or the triangle of the hand comes to apply to it when the user grasps the handle.
  • the middle part 7a carries, on the side opposite the means 3 relative to the axis XX, at least one or a first series of control means 4, for example four control means in the form of push buttons 11,12,13, 14 on which the fingers 21, 22, 23, 24 can be placed, with the hand 20 of the user when he holds the handle 1.
  • the push buttons 11, 12, 13, 14 are placed at the normal location of the end of the fingers 21, 22, 23, 24 of the hand 20 tightening the handle 1.
  • the push buttons 11,12,13,14 are placed on a generator Dl of the middle part 7a, being more or less regularly spaced from each other.
  • the push-buttons may only concern certain fingers.
  • several push-buttons for example two can be provided, spaced apart along the generator Dl or preferably along a curve perpendicular to the generator Dl.
  • all or part of the control means 4 can be non-buttons- pushers but sliding buttons for example along curves perpendicular to the generator DI.
  • Each push button can activate two contacts offset from each other.
  • the middle part 7a is connected to the base of the tongue 6a by an intermediate junction part 27.
  • the junction part 27 carries, in the vicinity of the edge of the base of the tongue 6a, which cooperates with the junction of the thumb 19 and the upper edge of the hand 20, control means 8 or a series of control means 8, for example two push buttons 9, 10 arranged on a line D2 forming an acute angle with the line Dl of the order of 30 ° approx.
  • the control means 8 are intended to be actuated by the thumb, in particular by pivoting of the latter.
  • the control means 8 can also be of the sliding type.
  • the handle 1 can be equipped with a rotary button 31 with a key to allow a safety lock.
  • the intermediate junction part 27 is extended from its normally upper free end by a flange 28 serving as an electrical connector.
  • This connector 28 can receive an appropriate electrical plug 29 at the end of a cable 30 for mechanical suspension and electrical connection.
  • the handle can be changed in a few seconds.
  • the control handle 1 comprises means 15, 16, 17, 18 having the function of receiving respectively the index, middle, ring and little fingers 21, 22, 23, 24 of the hand 20, so that these fingers are placed in the proper position to be able act on the control means 4.
  • These means 15, 16, 17, 18 consist of household grooves in the middle part 7a, substantially parallel to each other, and at least substantially perpendicular to the axis XX.
