MEILLEURE MANIERE DE REALISER L'INVENTION :BEST WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE INVENTION:
Le dispositif représenté à la figure 1 comprend essentielle¬ ment deux pièces monobloc 1 et 2 pouvant tourner l'une par rapport à l'autre autour d'un axe 30, et une barrette en for me de crémaillère 40 coopérant avec les pièces 1 et 2 pour maintenir de façon stable différentes positions relatives de celles-ci.The device represented in FIG. 1 essentially comprises two monobloc parts 1 and 2 which can rotate one relative to the other about an axis 30, and a bar in the form of a rack 40 cooperating with the parts 1 and 2 to stably maintain different relative positions thereof.
Les pièces 1 et 2 sont de forme identique, les éléments de la pièce 2 étant désignés dans les dessins par des numéros de référence obtenus en ajoutant le nombre 10 aux numéros de référence des éléments correspondants de la pièce 1. The parts 1 and 2 are of identical shape, the elements of part 2 being designated in the drawings by reference numbers obtained by adding the number 10 to the reference numbers of the corresponding elements of part 1.
La pièce 1, limitée par deux faces planes perpendiculaires à l'axe 30, est formée d'une poignée ou branche 13, d'une portion en arc 15 s'étendant d'une extrémité 14 de la poignée 13 jusqu'à l'axe 30 qui traverse la portion 15, et d'une portion en forme de corne 16 s'étendant de l'extrémité 14 vers l'extrémité 24 de la poignée 23 de la pièce 2. La portion en arc 15 et la corne 16 consti¬ tuent ensemble une mâchoire rigide ou demi-collier 10 pré¬ sentant une surface interne 11 située sensiblement en re¬ gard de la surface correspondante 21 de la mâchoire 20. Les surfaces 11 et 21 forment ensemble le contour intérieur d'un anneau ou collier déformable 3 pouvant être serré auteur du sein à traiter,par un mouvement relatif des pièces 1 et 2. Les sur¬ faces 11 et 21 se rejoignent mutuellement en une première zone 31 proche de l'axe 30 et en une seconde zone 32 plus éloignée de cet axe. Les zones 31 et 32, dont la position le long des surfaces 11 et 21 varie en fonction de la position relative des pièces 1 et 2, délimitent entre elles des por¬ tions des surfaces 11 et 21 qui constituent le contour inté- rieur de l'anneau, de forme sensiblement ovale, destiné à venir en contact direct avec le sein; les surfaces 11 et 21 se prolongent au-delà de la zone 32, dans la configuration montrée à la figure 1, vers l'extérieur de ce contour. L a piece 1, limited by two plane faces perpendicular to the axis 30, is formed of a handle or branch 13, of an arc portion 15 extending from one end 14 of the handle 13 to the axis 30 which crosses the portion 15, and a horn-shaped portion 16 extending from the end 14 towards the end 24 of the handle 23 of the part 2. The arc portion 15 and the horn 16 together constitute a rigid jaw or half-collar 10 presenting an internal surface 11 located substantially opposite the corresponding surface 21 of the jaw 20. The surfaces 11 and 21 together form the inner contour of a deformable ring or collar 3 which can be tightened to create the breast to be treated, by a relative movement of the parts 1 and 2. The surfaces 11 and 21 join together in a first zone 31 close to axis 30 and in a second zone 32 further from this axis. The zones 31 and 32, the position of which along the surfaces 11 and 21 varies as a function of the relative position of the parts 1 and 2, delimit between them portions of the surfaces 11 and 21 which constitute the interior contour of the ring, of substantially oval shape, intended to come into direct contact with the breast; surfaces 11 and 21 extend beyond zone 32, in the configuration shown in FIG. 1, towards the outside of this contour.
Un organe de liaison allongé ou crémaillère 40, dont une extrémité 41 est attachée à un élément d'articulation soli¬ daire de la mâchoire 20, constitué par un axe 42 porté par la poignée 23 au voisinage de son extrémité libre, présente une pluralité de fentes transversales 43 réparties sur sa longueur et pouvant chacune, au choix, être traversées avec jeu par une broche 46 solidaire de la mâchoire 10 et portée par l'extrémité libre de la poignée 13.An elongated connecting member or rack 40, one end 41 of which is attached to a hinge element which is solid with the jaw 20, constituted by a pin 42 carried by the handle 23 in the vicinity of its free end, has a plurality of transverse slots 43 distributed over its length and which can each, as desired, be crossed with clearance by a pin 46 secured to the jaw 10 and carried by the free end of the handle 13.
La coupe de la figure 2 est faite par un plan passant par l'axe 42 et l'axe de la broche 46, et traversant les fentes 43.Comme on le voit à la figure 1, les fentes 43 sont fermée à une de leurs extrémités et communiquent à leur extrémité opposée avec une fente longitudinale 45 dans laquelle la broche 46 peut se déplacer avec jeu. Elles sont inclinées par rapport à la direction longitudinale de la crémaillère de façon que leur extrémité fermée soit plus éloignée de l'axe 42 que leur extrémité opposée. La broche 46 est termi¬ née par une tête 44 dont la dimension selon la largeur des fentes est supérieure à celle-ci.The section of Figure 2 is made by a plane passing through the axis 42 and the axis of the spindle 46, and crossing the slots 43. As seen in Figure 1, the slots 43 are closed at one of their ends and communicate at their opposite end with a longitudinal slot 45 in which the spindle 46 can move with play. They are inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the rack so that their closed end is further from the axis 42 than their opposite end. The pin 46 is terminated by a head 44 whose dimension along the width of the slots is greater than the latter.
Les pièces 1 et 2 sont situées de part et d'autre d'un plan P (figure 2) perpendiculaire à l'axe 30, dans lequel s'étend sensiblement l ' une des faces planes de chacune des ces pièce Celles-ci ne peuvent donc se gêner dans leur mouvement.Parts 1 and 2 are located on either side of a plane P (Figure 2) perpendicular to the axis 30, in which extends substantially one of the flat faces of each of these parts These cannot therefore be hindered in their movement.
Le dispositif s 'utilise de la manière suivante. On ouvre d ' abord l ' anneau 3 en écartant l' un de l 'autre les prolongement 13 et 23, qui forment levier, la broche 46 parcourant la fente 45 en di tion de l 'extrémité l ibre de la crémaillère , jusqu ' à ce que le périmètre interne de l ' anneau soit sensiblement supérieur au périmètre du sein à garroter .The device is used in the following manner. The ring 3 is first opened by moving the extensions 13 and 23 apart from one another, which form a lever, the spindle 46 passing through the slot 45 in di tion from the end of the rack to the end, up to that the internal perimeter of the ring is appreciably greater than the perimeter of the breast to be tied.
On passe alors les mâchoires autour du sein et on les rappro che l 'une de l ' autre, en agissant sur leurs prolonganents 13 et 2 pour serrer l ' anneau 3 autour du sein. La broche 44 se dépla ce alors le long de la fente 45 en direction de l ' extrémité 41 de la crémaillère. Lorsque la tension voulue de la peau est atteinte, on engage la broche 46 dans la fente 43 la plu proche en faisant pivoter légèrement la crémaillère autour de l'axe 42. La réaction du sein sur les mâchoires, qui tend à écarter celles-ci, amène la broche 46 à l'extrémité fermée de la fente inclinée 43, contre laquelle elle vient en butée Les mâchoires sont alors immobilisées l'une par rapport à l'autre, assurant le maintien de la tension de la peau.Then pass the jaws around the breast and bring them closer to each other, acting on their extensions 13 and 2 to tighten the ring 3 around the breast. The pin 44 then moves along the slot 45 in the direction of the end 41 of the rack. When the desired tension of the skin is reached, the pin 46 is engaged in the nearest slot 43 by slightly pivoting the rack around the axis 42. The reaction of the breast on the jaws, which tends to spread them , brings the spindle 46 to the closed end of the inclined slot 43, against which it abuts The jaws are then immobilized relative to each other, ensuring maintenance of the tension of the skin.
Pour déverrouiller le dispositif, il suffit de rapprocher légèrement les poignées l'une de l'autre tout en faisant piv ter la crémaillère dans l'autre sens pour ramener la broche 46 dans la fente 45, ce qui permet d'écarter de nouveau les pièces 1 et 2 et de libérer le sein.To unlock the device, it suffices to slightly bring the handles closer to each other while pivoting the rack in the other direction to bring the pin 46 into the slot 45, which allows to move the parts 1 and 2 and release the breast.
On a représenté à la figure 3 le profil d'une des mâchoires, désigné par la référence 10, tel qu'il se présente en projec tion orthogonale sur un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 30, étant rappelé que la forme de la mâchoire 20 est semblable à celle de la mâchoire 10.FIG. 3 shows the profile of one of the jaws, designated by the reference 10, as it appears in orthogonal projection on a plane perpendicular to the axis 30, it being recalled that the shape of the jaw 20 is similar to that of the jaw 10.
La surface interne 11 de la mâchoire est représentée par une courbe 110 qui constitue approximativement sa projection. cette surface ayant sensiblement une forme cylindrique de génératrice parallèle à l'axe 30.The internal surface 11 of the jaw is represented by a curve 110 which constitutes approximately its projection. this surface having a substantially cylindrical shape of generator parallel to the axis 30.
Le dispositif est conçu pour avoir une course utile pour laquelle la zone de jonction 31 des surfaces 11 et 21 se déplace le long de la surface 11 entre une position repré¬ sentée par un point A1 et une position représentée par un point A2 de la courbe 110, tandis que la zone 32 se déplace entre des positions représentées par des points B1 et B2 de la courbe 110. La courbe 110 et la courbe correspondante pour la mâchoire 2 non représentée, sont pour chaque position symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport à" la droite AB correspondante, les droites AB passant donc par la trace 300 de l'axe 30. Le trajet utile ainsi défini correspond au processus de serrage du sein, les points A et B représentant les zones 31 et 32 parcourant au maximum les arcs A1. A2 et B1 , B2 respective¬ ment entre le moment où les mâchoires viennent en prise avec le sein et le moment où le serrage désiré est atteint.The device is designed to have a useful stroke for which the junction zone 31 of the surfaces 11 and 21 moves along the surface 11 between a position represented by a point A1 and a position represented by a point A2 of the curve 110, while the zone 32 moves between positions represented by points B1 and B2 of the curve 110. The curve 110 and the corresponding curve for the jaw 2 not shown, are for each position symmetrical with one another relative to " the corresponding line AB, the lines AB therefore passing through the trace 300 of the axis 30. The useful path thus defined corresponds to the process of tightening the breast, the points A and B representing the zones 31 and 32 traversing at maximum the arcs A1, A2 and B1, B2 respectively between the moment when the jaws engage with the breast and the moment when the desired tightening is reached.
L'angle aigu β entre la courbe 110 et l'axe de symétrie, mon tré dans la figure pour la position A2 B2 de ce dernier, est peu inférieur à un droit et de préférence supérieur ou égal à 80° environ sur toute la course utile du dispositif. L'an¬ gle α entre la courbe 110 et la courbe analogue correspondan à la mâchoire 20 est alors supérieur ou égal à 160° environ, ce qui évite de pincer la peau lors du serrage. L'angle α pe être plat sur une partie de la course. L'angle formé par les courbes dans la zone 31 ne doit pas non plus être trop aigu, mais sa valeur est moins critique en raison du faible dépla- cernent linéaire dans cette zone et de la pression moindre exercée sur le sein à ce niveau.The acute angle β between the curve 110 and the axis of symmetry, my tré in the figure for the position A2 B2 of the latter, is little less than a straight line and preferably greater than or equal to approximately 80 ° over the entire race useful device. The angle between the curve 110 and the analogous curve corresponding to the jaw 20 is then greater than or equal to approximately 160 °, which avoids pinching the skin during tightening. The angle α can be flat over part of the stroke. The angle formed by the curves in the zone 31 should not be too acute either, but its value is less critical due to the small linear displacement in this zone and the less pressure exerted on the breast at this level.
La forme de l'arc de courbe A1 , A2, B2, B1 représentée à la figure 3, qui tourne sa concavité vers l'arc analogue de la mâchoire 20, a été déterminée expérimentalement de façon obtenir une tension régulière de la peau lorsqu'on utilise le dispositif avec le trajet utile représenté par les arcs A1 , A2 et B1 , B2. Cette forme constitue donc une caractéris- tique préférée de l'invention. Pour bénéficier des avantages de cette forme particulière avec des seins de toutes dimen¬ sions, en ne dépassant pas par conséquent le trajet utile défini ci-dessus, il faut utiliser des dispositifs de tailles différentes en fonction de celles des seins, les courbes 110 se correspondant par une similitude. Trois tailles semblent suffisantes pour traiter tous les cas qui se présentent.The shape of the arc of curve A1, A2, B2, B1 represented in FIG. 3, which turns its concavity towards the analogous arc of the jaw 20, has been determined experimentally so as to obtain a regular tension of the skin when the device is used with the useful path represented by the arcs A1, A2 and B1, B2. This form therefore constitutes a characteristic preferred tick of the invention. To benefit from the advantages of this particular shape with breasts of all sizes, therefore not exceeding the useful path defined above, it is necessary to use devices of different sizes according to those of the breasts, the curves 110 corresponding by a similarity. Three sizes seem sufficient to handle all the cases that arise.
Des modifications peuvent être apportées au mode de réalisa- tion décrit et_ représenté sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Modifications can be made to the embodiment described and represented without departing from the scope of the invention.
Par exemple, la fente longitudinale 45 de la crémaillère peut être supprimée, les encoches 43 s'ouvrent alors dans un bord longitudinal de la crémaillère. Cette disposition permet de replier l'instrument sous un encombrement réduit lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. For example, the longitudinal slot 45 of the rack can be omitted, the notches 43 then open in a longitudinal edge of the rack. This arrangement allows the instrument to be folded up in a reduced space when it is not used.
