Description

L'invention concerne un appareil permettant d'appliquer des rubans adhésifs sur des supports quelle que soit leur matière : papier,plastique, papier kraft,etc.The invention relates to an apparatus for applying adhesive tapes to supports whatever their material: paper, plastic, kraft paper, etc.

Actuellement, les rubans adhésifs sont utilisés sous forme de bobines. Pour permettre un décollage aisé de l'extrémité du ruban au début de chaque opération on emploie un dévidoir constitué par un boîtier contenant la bobine et présentant une branche extérieure audit boîtier. Le ruban adhésif sort du boîtier par une fente ménagée sur la périphérie de celui-ci.L'extrémité de la branche précitée est pourvue d'une lame et présente un petit renflement permettant, d'une part, le sectionnement du ruban et, d'autre part,,la fixation de l'extrémité de celui-ci après collage. Il y a lieu de noter que le côté adhésif se trouve évidemment toujours du côté de la branche afin de pouvoir y être fixé par collage sur quelques millimètres seulement.Currently, adhesive tapes are used in the form of spools. To allow easy takeoff from the end of the ribbon at the start of each operation, a reel is used which consists of a box containing the coil and having a branch external to said box. The adhesive tape leaves the housing through a slot made on the periphery thereof.The end of the aforementioned branch is provided with a blade and has a small bulge allowing, on the one hand, the cutting of the ribbon and, d 'other hand, fixing the end of it after bonding. It should be noted that the adhesive side is obviously always on the side of the branch in order to be able to be fixed there by gluing on only a few millimeters.

Un tel dispositif évite certes l'inconvénient d'un décollage difficile de l'extrémité du ruban au début de chaque opération mais il est d'un emploi malaisé car il ne permet pas d'appliquer le ruban sur un support avec précision et rapidité. En effet, le guidage du ruban est fait avec un main et, de ce fait, le collage se fait mal, sans aucune précision et lentement. Le résultat est toujours mauvais si l'extrémité du ruban n'est pas appliquée dans la bonne direction ce qui arrive fréquemment car le ruban dévie, alors, de la direction souhaitée et l'opération est à recommencer.Such a device certainly avoids the drawback of a difficult peeling off of the end of the ribbon at the start of each operation, but it is difficult to use because it does not allow the ribbon to be applied to a support with precision and speed. Indeed, the guide of the tape is done with one hand and, therefore, the bonding is poorly done, without any precision and slowly. The result is always bad if the end of the ribbon is not applied in the right direction, which happens frequently because the ribbon deviates, then, from the desired direction and the operation has to be started again.

En fait, les appareils utilisés actuellement sont de simples dévidoirs car ils ne sont pas dotés de dispositifs assurant l'application de l'extrémité du ruban sur son support.In fact, the devices currently used are simple reels because they do not have devices ensuring the application of the end of the tape on its support.

L'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est relative à un instrument, du genre décrit ci-dessus, remarquable en ce qu'il comporte deux branches s'étendant de part et d'autre de la fente du boîtier, la première branche présentant une courbure convexe à son extrémité pour appliquer le ruban sur son support et une lame, éventuellement dentée, située au-delà de ladite courbure, la seconde branche servant à fixer par collage l'extrémité du ruban après chaque utilisation et les distances séparant ladite fente des extrémités de chacune desdites branches étant égales; les deux branches présentent, en outre, sur leurs faces disposées en regard l'une de l'autre une partie concave permettant pour l'une d'éviter les frottements durant le dévidage et facilitant pour l'autre le décollage de l'extrémité du ruban dont la face adhésive est dirigée vers cette dernière.The invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, relates to an instrument of the type described above, remarkable in that it comprises two branches extending on either side of the slot in the housing, the first branch having a convex curvature at its end for applying the tape to its support and a blade, possibly toothed, situated beyond said curvature, the second branch serving to fix the end by gluing miter of the ribbon after each use and the distances separating said slot from the ends of each of said branches being equal; the two branches have, moreover, on their faces arranged opposite one another a concave part allowing for one to avoid friction during the unwinding and facilitating for the other the take off of the end of the tape with the adhesive side facing the latter.

Selon une variante, la lame se trouve à l'extrémité de la seconde branche.According to a variant, the blade is located at the end of the second branch.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, l'extrémité de la première branche présente une arête vive et deux ailettes, à contour curviligne convexe et entre lesquelles peut passer le ruban,qui s'étendent au-delà de l'extrémité de la lame.De préférence, la naissance de la lame est située à une distance comprise entre six à douze millimètres de l'arête précitée.According to a second embodiment, the end of the first branch has a sharp edge and two fins, with a convex curvilinear outline and between which the ribbon can pass, which extend beyond the end of the blade. preferably, the birth of the blade is located at a distance between six to twelve millimeters from the aforementioned edge.

Ces ailettes facilitent le pivotement de l'instrument et évitent que la lame soit en contact avec le support durant le sectionnement du ruban. Le pivotement de l'instrument provoque le soulèvement du ruban, sa mise en tension sur la lame coupante et, par suite, son sectionnement.These fins facilitate the pivoting of the instrument and prevent the blade from being in contact with the support during the cutting of the ribbon. The pivoting of the instrument causes the ribbon to rise, to tension it on the cutting blade and, consequently, to cut it off.

Selon une variante, des languettes de guidage du ruban sont prévues sur la.première branche et s'étendent vers la seconde.According to a variant, strips for guiding the ribbon are provided on the first branch and extend towards the second.

Il ressort des deux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, qu'une action manuelle est nécessaire pour transférer l'extrémité du ruban d'une branche à l'autre.It appears from the two embodiments described above, that manual action is necessary to transfer the end of the ribbon from one branch to another.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, qui remédie notamment à cet inconvénient, le ruban est maintenu vers la première branche précitée par un organe de guidage constitué par exemple par deux languettes latérales rendues solidaires de ladite branche et disposées obliquement de façon à ce que la distance séparant leurs extrémités soit inférieure à la largeur du ruban, un moyen étant éventuellement prévu pour s'opposer au mouvement de retrait du ruban lors de son sectionnement.Un tel moyen peut être constitué par une lame très flexible dont l'extrémité libre est en contact avec la face adhésive du ruban.According to a third embodiment, which overcomes in particular this drawback, the ribbon is held towards the first aforementioned branch by a guide member constituted for example by two lateral tabs made integral with said branch and arranged obliquely so that the distance separating their ends is less than the width of the ribbon, a means being possibly provided to oppose the movement of withdrawal of the ribbon during its cutting. Such means can be constituted by a very flexible blade whose free end is in contact with the adhesive side of the tape.

The invention will be better understood from the description made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view showing a first embodiment of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing an alternative embodiment;

En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que l'instrument se compose essentiellement d'un boîtier 1 dans lequel est enfermée une bobine B de ruban adhésif R.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the instrument essentially consists of a housing 1 in which a coil B of adhesive tape R is enclosed.

Le ruban R sort du boîtier 1 par une fente 2 de ce dernier.The ribbon R leaves the housing 1 through a slot 2 in the latter.

Le boîtier 1 présente de part et d'autre de la fente 2 deux branches 3 et 4.' The housing 1 has on either side of the slot 2 two branches 3 and 4. '

La branche 3 présente à son extrémité une partie convexe 5 et comporte en avant de cette partie une lame coupante usuelle 6 dentée ou non et de préférence métallique.The branch 3 has at its end a convex part 5 and comprises in front of this part a usual cutting blade 6 toothed or not and preferably metallic.

La bobine B est disposée dans le boîtier 1 de façon à ce que la face adhésive du ruban R soit dirigée vers la branche 4 pour y être collée en attente d'utilisation.The coil B is arranged in the housing 1 so that the adhesive face of the tape R is directed towards the branch 4 so as to be stuck there while awaiting use.

Les distances Dl et D2 séparant respectivement la fente 2 et l'extrémité convexe 5 de la branche 3 ,d'une part, et ladite fente et l'extrémité de la branche 4, d'autre part, sont égales pour pouvoir faire adhérer l'extrémité du ruban coupé sur l'extrémité de la branche 4 en position d'attente.The distances D1 and D2 respectively separating the slot 2 and the convex end 5 of the branch 3, on the one hand, and said slot and the end of the branch 4, on the other hand, are equal in order to be able to adhere the end of the ribbon cut on the end of the branch 4 in the standby position.

La partie 7 de la branche 3 située entre celle convexe 5 et la fente 2 est concave pour limiter le frottement du ruban durant son application sur un support S. Il en est de même en ce qui concerne la partie 8 de la branche 4 pour que le ruban R n'adhère que sur l'extrémité de ladite branche ce qui limite sa surface de collage et facilite son décollage préalablement à son application sur le support S. Cette application est réalisée par la partie convexe 5 qui presse le ruban contre le support S et qui constitue l'organe applicateur; simultanément, on déplace le boîtier 1 selon la flèche F1 (figure 1).The part 7 of the branch 3 located between the convex one 5 and the slot 2 is concave to limit the friction of the ribbon during its application on a support S. It is the same with regard to the part 8 of the branch 4 so that the ribbon R does not adhere that on the end of said branch which limits its bonding surface and facilitates its release prior to its application on the support S. This application is carried out by the convex part 5 which presses the tape against the support S and which constitutes the applicator body; simultaneously, the housing 1 is moved according to arrow F1 (FIG. 1).

Pour sectionner le ruban, il suffit en maintenant la pression contre le support de faire pivoter le boîtier 1 selon la flèche F2.To cut the ribbon, it suffices while maintaining the pressure against the support to rotate the housing 1 according to arrow F2.

Il y a lieu de noter que l'extrémité de la branche 3 est tangente au plan passant par la fente 2 et l'axe de rotation de la bobine B.It should be noted that the end of the branch 3 is tangent to the plane passing through the slot 2 and the axis of rotation of the coil B.

La largeur des branches 3 et 4 et de la lame 6 est au moins égale à la,largeur du ruban R.The width of the branches 3 and 4 and of the blade 6 is at least equal to the width of the ribbon R.

Les deux branches 3 et 4 constituent, avantageusement,un organe de guidage et peuvent être appliquées contre une règle durant le déroulement du ruban.The two branches 3 and 4 advantageously constitute a guide member and can be applied against a rule during the unwinding of the tape.

Selon une variante ( figure 2), la lame 6 est portée par la branche 4.According to a variant (FIG. 2), the blade 6 is carried by the branch 4.

Selon un second mode de réalisation ( figure 3), l'extrémité de la branche 3 présente une arête vive 9 et deux ailettes latérales 10 ayant un contour curviligne convexe 11 circulaire ou parabolique par exemple.According to a second embodiment (FIG. 3), the end of the branch 3 has a sharp edge 9 and two lateral fins 10 having a convex curvilinear outline 11, circular or parabolic for example.

L'extrémité de la lame 6 est située en retrait par rapport au contour curviligne précité. De préférence, la distance entre la périphérie des ailettes et l'extrémité de la lame 6 est de l'ordre de trois à six millimètres.The end of the blade 6 is set back relative to the aforementioned curvilinear contour. Preferably, the distance between the periphery of the fins and the end of the blade 6 is of the order of three to six millimeters.

De cette façon, durant le sectionnement du ruban (figure 5) la lame 6 ne peut pas entrer en contact avec le support S et l'endommager. De plus,ces dispositions permettent la mise en tension du ruban sur la lame 6.In this way, during the cutting of the tape (FIG. 5) the blade 6 cannot come into contact with the support S and damage it. In addition, these arrangements allow the ribbon to be tensioned on the blade 6.

La branche 3 présente, en outre, des languettes 12 latérales s'étendant vers la branche 4 et permettant d'assurer le guidage du ruban R durant l'application de ce dernier sur le support S.The branch 3 has, in addition, lateral tabs 12 extending towards the branch 4 and making it possible to guide the ribbon R during the application of the latter on the support S.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation permettant notamment de supprimer la branche 4 et, par suite, l'opération manuelle de transfert d'une branche à l'autre de l'extrémité du ruban R, la branche 3 présente sur sa face dirigée vers le ruban R un organe de maintien du ruban constitué, par exemple, par deux languettes 13, latérales, disposées obliquement de façon à ce que la distance séparant les extrémité libre desdites languettes soit inférieure à la largeur du ruban R.According to a third embodiment making it possible in particular to remove the branch 4 and, consequently, the manual operation of transferring from one branch to the other from the end of the ribbon R, the branch 3 has on its face directed towards the ribbon R a ribbon retaining member constituted, for example, by two lateral tabs 13, arranged obliquely so that the distance separating the free ends of said tongues is less than the width ribbon R.

De préférence, l'inclinaison des languettes 13 est de l'ordre de trente degrés environ.Preferably, the inclination of the tongues 13 is of the order of about thirty degrees.

De cette façon, lorsque le ruban est sectionné, il est maintenu au voisinage de la branche 3.In this way, when the ribbon is cut, it is kept in the vicinity of the branch 3.

Naturellement, tous autres moyens peuvent être utilisés pour assurer cette fonction, tel qu'un pontet non représenté, à la condition que les frottements entre ledit organe et la face adhésive du ruban soient réduits au minimum.Naturally, any other means can be used to perform this function, such as a bridge not shown, provided that the friction between said member and the adhesive side of the tape is reduced to a minimum.

Le boîtier 1 comporte une lame flexible 14 dont l'extrémité libre peut exercer une légère pression sur le ruban pour s'opposer à son mouvement de retrait lors du sectionnement,cette pression étant toutefois insuffisante pour s'opposer au dévidage dudit ruban.The housing 1 comprises a flexible blade 14, the free end of which can exert a slight pressure on the ribbon to oppose its withdrawal movement during cutting, this pressure being however insufficient to oppose the unwinding of said ribbon.

La figure 9 représente un détail de réalisation de la lame flexible 14 qui présente des ergots 15 s'étendant obliquement dans le sens de déroulement du ruban de sorte qu'ils n'accroissent pas l'effort de traction durant le dévidage mais qu'ils s'opposent, par contre, efficacement à son mouvement de retour lors de son sectionnement.FIG. 9 shows a detail of embodiment of the flexible blade 14 which has lugs 15 extending obliquely in the direction of unwinding of the tape so that they do not increase the tensile force during the unwinding but that they on the other hand, effectively oppose its return movement during its sectioning.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes,matières et dimensions.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of shapes, materials and dimensions.
