Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un tampon de matière fibreuse, ainsi qu'une machine de nettoyage de surface équipée dudit dispositif.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a pad of fibrous material, as well as a surface cleaning machine equipped with said device.

Plus particulièrement, quoique non exclusivement, l'invention s'applique à la fixation, dans une machine de nettoyage de surface, d'un support alternatif ou d'un disque rotatif de nettoyage en matière fibreuse. Jusqu'à présent, on utilise pour ce faire un grand nombre de picots de matière synthétique répartis sur un support de forme correspondant à celle du disque de nettoyage selon des inclinaisons variables par rapport audit support, tel que décrit dans US-A-3 703 739. Cette solution n'est pas entièrement satisfaisante. En effet, d'une part, il n'est pas facile de faire pénétrer les picots dans la matière fibreuse du fait de leur trop grande souplesse et, d'autre part, une fois que ceux-ci ont pénétré dans la matière fibreuse, ils n'assurent pas une fixation absolument efficace du disque de nettoyage, et ce dernier, en fonctionnement, c'est-à-dire tournant à grande vitesse, risque de s'échapper du support. Par ailleurs, le colmatage progressif du disque, après une utilisation plus ou moins prolongée, rend généralement encore plus difficile la pénétration des picots dans la matière fibreuse, lors du retournement dudit disque en vue d'en utiliser la face propre.More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention applies to the fixing, in a surface cleaning machine, of an alternative support or of a rotary cleaning disc made of fibrous material. Up to now, a large number of plastic pins have been used for this purpose, distributed over a support of shape corresponding to that of the cleaning disc at variable inclinations with respect to said support, as described in US Pat. 739. This solution is not entirely satisfactory. Indeed, on the one hand, it is not easy to make the pins penetrate into the fibrous material because of their too great flexibility and, on the other hand, once they have penetrated into the fibrous material, they do not provide an absolutely effective fixing of the cleaning disc, and the latter, in operation, that is to say rotating at high speed, may escape from the support. Furthermore, the progressive clogging of the disc, after a more or less prolonged use, generally makes it even more difficult for the spikes to penetrate the fibrous material, during the inversion of said disc in order to use the clean side thereof.

La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients, et concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un tampon de matière fibreuse, grâce auquel ce dernier, qu'il appartienne à un ustensile de nettoyage ou qu'il constitue un disque rotatif d'une machine de nettoyage de surface, peut être facilement et solidement fixé à un support même en cas de colmatage dudit tampon.The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks, and relates to a device for fixing a pad of fibrous material, by means of which the latter, whether it belongs to a cleaning utensil or whether it constitutes a rotating disc. a surface cleaning machine can be easily and securely attached to a support even in the event of clogging of said pad.

A cet effet, le dispositif de fixation d'un tampon de matière fibreuse est remarquable, selon l'invention, en ce qu'il comprend une pluralité d'ensembles de crochets métalliques, chaque ensemble comprenant une pluralité de paires desdits crochets, les dits crochets étant fixés à un support, les crochets de chaque paire étant opposés l'un à l'autre.To this end, the device for fixing a pad of fibrous material is remarkable, according to the invention, in that that it comprises a plurality of sets of metal hooks, each set comprising a plurality of pairs of said hooks, said hooks being fixed to a support, the hooks of each pair being opposite one another.

Cet agencement particulier des crochets, qui peuvent facilement pénétrer dans la matière fibreuse, garantit une meilleure fixation du tampon, même quand des efforts importants y sont appliqués, comme c'est le cas dans une machine de nettoyage de surface à disque rotatif.This particular arrangement of the hooks, which can easily penetrate into the fibrous material, guarantees a better fixing of the tampon, even when great forces are applied to it, as is the case in a surface cleaning machine with a rotating disc.

Avantageusement, lesdits ensembles sont rectilignes.Advantageously, said assemblies are rectilinear.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention, soit les crochets de chaque paire sont en regard l'un de l'autre, soit les crochets d'un ensemble sont décalés en quinconce.According to other features of the invention, either the hooks of each pair are opposite one another, or the hooks of a set are staggered.

En particulier, les crochets peuvent être en partie noyés dans une couche de résine prévue sur ledit support.In particular, the hooks can be partially embedded in a layer of resin provided on said support.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque ensemble de crochets est réalisé à partir d'un ressort hélicoïdal coupé longitudinalement.According to another characteristic of the invention, each set of hooks is produced from a helical spring cut longitudinally.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque ensemble de crochets est réalisé à partir d'un ressort de section transversale triangulaire découpé longitudinalement.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, each set of hooks is produced from a spring of triangular cross section cut longitudinally.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque paire de crochets présente une forme générale de V dont les extrémités des branches sont recourbées vers l'intérieur.According to another characteristic of the invention, each pair of hooks has a general shape of V, the ends of the branches of which are curved inwards.

Avantageusement, dans ce dernier cas, chaque ensemble de crochets est constitué par une pluralité de paires de crochets reliées par une baguette solidaire du fond des V.Advantageously, in the latter case, each set of hooks is constituted by a plurality of pairs of hooks connected by a rod secured to the bottom of the V.

En particulier, pour la fixation d'un disque de nettoyage de surface en matière fibreuse, le dispositif comprend un support de forme discoïde correspondant à celle dudit disque de nettoyage, sur lequel support sont prévus des ensembles de crochets pour l'accrochage dudit disque de nettoyage audit support. Avantageusement, lesdits ensembles de crochets sont radiaux.In particular, for fixing a surface cleaning disc made of fibrous material, the device comprises a support of discoid shape corresponding to that of said cleaning disc, on which support are provided sets of hooks for attaching said disc. cleaning said support. Advantageously, said sets of hooks are radial.

La figure 10 est une vue en coupe transversale du disque de la figure 9.Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the disc of Figure 9.

Les figures du dessin annexé illustrent différentes formes de réalisation du dispositif de fixation d'un tampon de matière fibreuse selon l'invention (figures 1 à 7), ainsi que l'utilisation d'un tel dispositif dans une machine de nettoyage de surface (figures 8 à 10).The figures of the appended drawing illustrate different embodiments of the device for fixing a pad of fibrous material according to the invention (Figures 1 to 7), as well as the use of such a device in a surface cleaning machine ( Figures 8 to 10).

De façon générale, le dispositif de fixation de l'invention comprend des ensembles 1, notamment rectilignes, de paires 2 de crochets métalliques 3 fixés sur un support 4, les crochets 3 de chaque paire 2 étant opposés l'un à l'autre. Les crochets 3 peuvent être fixés sur le support 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une couche de résine 5 prévue sur celui-ci.In general, the fixing device of the invention comprises sets 1, in particular rectilinear, of pairs 2 of metal hooks 3 fixed on a support 4, the hooks 3 of each pair 2 being opposite one another. The hooks 3 can be fixed to the support 4 by means of a resin layer 5 provided on the latter.

Les crochets 3 permettent la fixation d'un tampon 6 de matière fibreuse, comme un ustensile de nettoyage ménager, ou, comme on le verra par la suite, un disque rotatif d'une machine de nettoyage de surface. Dans le premier cas, la figure 7 illustre un agencement possible d'un certain nombre d'ensembles rectilignes 1 de paires de crochets 3.The hooks 3 allow the attachment of a pad 6 of fibrous material, such as a household cleaning utensil, or, as will be seen later, a rotary disc of a surface cleaning machine. In the first case, FIG. 7 illustrates a possible arrangement of a number of straight sets 1 of pairs of hooks 3.

Les crochets 3 d'un ensemble 1 peuvent être décalés en quinconce (figures 2 et 4). Chaque ensemble 1 de crochets 3 peut alors être obtenu à partir d'un ressort hélicoïdal coupé longitudinalement (figures 1 et 2), ou à partir d'un ressort de section transversale triangulaire découpé longitudinalement (figures 3 et 4). Dans le premier cas, comme montré sur la figure 1, la partie découpée L1 du ressort peut correspondre, par exemple, à 2/8 du "diamètre" de ce dernier, la partie L3 noyée dans la couche de résine 5 et la partie L2 en saillie de celle-ci correspondant, chacune, à 3/8 dudit diamètre. On remarquera que les sommets de deux crochets opposés peuvent former des saillies de hauteurs différentes ; par ailleurs, la partie découpée L1 du ressort peut l'être suivant un plan incliné par rapport à la surface libre de la couche 5. Dans le deuxième cas, comme montré sur la figure 3, une moitié de la "hauteur" du ressort peut être noyée dans la couche de résine 5, l'autre moitié faisant saillie de cette dernière.The hooks 3 of a set 1 can be staggered (FIGS. 2 and 4). Each set 1 of hooks 3 can then be obtained from a helical spring cut longitudinally (Figures 1 and 2), or from a spring of triangular cross section cut longitudinally (Figures 3 and 4). In the first case, as shown in FIG. 1, the cut part L1 of the spring can correspond, for example, to 2/8 of the "diameter" of the latter, the part L3 embedded in the resin layer 5 and the part L2 projecting therefrom, each corresponding to 3/8 of said diameter. It will be noted that the vertices of two opposite hooks can form projections of different heights; moreover, the cut part L1 of the spring can be cut along an inclined plane relative to the free surface of the layer 5. In the second case, as shown in FIG. 3, half of the "height" of the spring can be embedded in the resin layer 5, the other half protruding from this last.

Lorsque les crochets sont confectionnés à partir d'un ressort, on voit que les inclinaisons conjuguées d'une paire de crochets permettent de réagir correctement aux sollicitations omni-directionnelles.When the hooks are made from a spring, it can be seen that the combined inclinations of a pair of hooks make it possible to react correctly to omni-directional stresses.

Comme montré sur les figures 5 et 6, une autre possibilité consiste en ce que chaque paire 2 de crochets 3 en regard l'un de l'autre présente une forme générale de V dont les extrémités 7 des branches sont recourbées vers l'intérieur. Dans ce cas, comme montré sur la figure 6, chaque ensemble 1 de crochets 3 est constitué par une pluralité de paires 2 de crochets 3 reliées par une baguette 8 solidaire du fond 9 des V.As shown in Figures 5 and 6, another possibility is that each pair 2 of hooks 3 facing one another has a general shape of V whose ends 7 of the branches are curved inward. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, each set 1 of hooks 3 is constituted by a plurality of pairs 2 of hooks 3 connected by a rod 8 secured to the bottom 9 of the V.

La machine 10 pour le nettoyage de surface, montrée sur la figure 8, comporte un châssis 11 sur lequel est monté un moteur 12. Deux roues 13 sont disposées de part et d'autre du châssis 11 à une extrémité de celui-ci. Par ailleurs, un manche 14, équipé d'une poignée 15 et d'organes de manoeuvre 16, est relié au châssis 11, du côté de celui-ci où sont disposées les roues 13. Le moteur 12 est destiné à entraîner un outil rotatif 17, éventuellement enveloppé par un capot de protection (non représenté).The machine 10 for surface cleaning, shown in FIG. 8, comprises a chassis 11 on which is mounted a motor 12. Two wheels 13 are arranged on either side of the chassis 11 at one end of the latter. Furthermore, a handle 14, equipped with a handle 15 and operating members 16, is connected to the chassis 11, on the side thereof where the wheels 13 are arranged. The motor 12 is intended to drive a rotary tool 17, possibly wrapped by a protective cover (not shown).

L'outil 17 comporte un support de forme discoïde 18 auquel est fixé un disque 19 de nettoyage de surface en matière fibreuse, de forme correspondante.The tool 17 comprises a disc-shaped support 18 to which is fixed a disc 19 for cleaning the surface of fibrous material, of corresponding shape.

La fixation du disque de nettoyage 19 au support 18 est assurée par des ensembles 1 de crochets 3 avantageusement radiaux partiellement noyés dans le support 18 (figures 9 et 10). On notera que, sur les figures 9 et 10, les crochets 3 ont été représentés conformément au premier exemple de réalisation montré sur les figures 1 et 2. Toutefois, il est bien entendu que d'autres formes de crochets, comme celles représentées sur les figures 3,4 et 5,6, pourraient être utilisées dans cette application.The cleaning disc 19 is fixed to the support 18 by sets 1 of hooks 3, advantageously radial, partially embedded in the support 18 (FIGS. 9 and 10). Note that, in Figures 9 and 10, the hooks 3 have been shown in accordance with the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2. However, it is understood that other forms of hooks, such as those shown in the Figures 3,4 and 5,6, could be used in this application.
