Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil pour l'animation de pièces mobiles.The present invention relates to an apparatus for animating moving parts.

Il est connu de réaliser, à partir d'une feuille de carton rigide, des figurines que l'on utilise comme panneaux décoratifs, ou des panneaux publicitaires destinés à être placés sur des lieux de vente tels que des vitrines de magasin, stands de foires, etc....It is known to produce, from a sheet of rigid cardboard, figurines which are used as decorative panels, or advertising panels intended to be placed on points of sale such as shop windows, fair stands. , etc ....

Afin de rendre ces figurines ou panneaux plus attractifs, on sait les animer au moyen d'une ou plusieurs pièces mobiles actionnées par un moteur électrique agissant sur une transmission reliée à ces pièces. Actuellement, les modèles de ce type incluent des moteurs et des systèmes de transmission complexes, difficiles à réaliser et à assembler, qui sont d'un coût de revient élevé et quine sont pas modulables, ce qui les rend inutilisables pour des panneaux publicitaires qui doivent être changés fréquemment.In order to make these figurines or panels more attractive, it is known to animate them by means of one or more moving parts actuated by an electric motor acting on a transmission connected to these parts. Currently, models of this type include complex motors and transmission systems, which are difficult to make and assemble, which are high cost and which are not modular, which makes them unusable for billboards which have to be changed frequently.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un appareil pour l'animation de pièces mobiles, plus particulièrement de figurines ou de panneaux publicitaires, qui soit très simple de réalisation et de démontage, et surtout d'un faible prix de revient.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device for animating moving parts, more particularly figurines or billboards, which is very simple to make and dismantle, and above all a low cost price.

A cette fin, cet appareil comporte un disque entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique et comprenant une gorge en forme de came, et un arbre orthogonal au plan de ce disque portant à l'une de ses extrémités un bras radial, qui lui est lié en rotation et qui est muni d'un ergot destiné à être engagé dans la gorge précitée, l'autre extrémité de cet arbre étant reliée, directement ou non, à une ou plusieurs pièces mobiles à animer.To this end, this device comprises a disc driven in rotation by an electric motor and comprising a cam-shaped groove, and a shaft orthogonal to the plane of this disc carrying at one of its ends a radial arm, which is linked to it in rotation and which is provided with a lug intended to be engaged in the aforementioned groove, the other end of this shaft being connected, directly or not, to one or more moving parts to be animated.

La rotation du disque et de la gorge qu'il comprend déplace l'ergot et le bras radial, ce qui provoque le pivotement oscillant de l'arbre. Grâce à ces éléments, il est possible d'obtenir un mouvement alternatif qui permet l'animation de la pièce mobile, en employant un moteur à mouvement continu très simple, robuste et bon marché. Différents mouvements des pièces mobiles tels que des mouvements à vitesse variable durant un cycle, peuvent être obtenus en fonction des besoins, simplement en utilisant des disques comprenant des gorges de formes différentes.The rotation of the disc and of the groove which it comprises displaces the lug and the radial arm, which causes the oscillating pivoting of the shaft. Thanks to these elements, it is possible to obtain an alternative movement which allows the animation of the moving part, by using a very simple, robust and inexpensive continuous motion motor. Different movements of the moving parts, such as movements at variable speed during a cycle, can be obtained as required, simply by using discs comprising grooves of different shapes.

De préférence, le disque ainsi que l'ergot, le bras et l'arbre sont réalisés en matière synthétique moulée autolubrifiante telle que du nylon graphité ou de la matière connue sous la dénomination commerciale "Derlin".Preferably, the disc as well as the lug, the arm and the shaft are made of self-lubricating molded synthetic material such as graphite nylon or of material known under the trade name "Derlin".

Avantageusement, le moteur et le disque sont portés par une plaque-support ou platine, et l'arbre est engagé dans un palier en forme de cheminée solidaire de la platine.Advantageously, the motor and the disc are carried by a support plate or plate, and the shaft is engaged in a bearing in the form of a chimney secured to the plate.

Le palier en forme de cheminée comprend, à son extrémité tournée vers la platine, deux ergots en saillie radiale diamétralement opposés et une collerette située à une distance des ergots précités sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la platine, cette dernière comportant une lumière correspondant au diamètre du palier, prolongée par deux découpes correspondant aux ergots.The chimney-shaped bearing comprises, at its end facing the plate, two diametrically opposite radial projecting lugs and a flange situated at a distance from the above-mentioned lugs substantially equal to the thickness of the plate, the latter comprising a light corresponding to the diameter of the bearing, extended by two cutouts corresponding to the pins.

La réalisation en deux pièces différentes de la platine et du palier en forme de cheminée permet de diminuer les coûts de l'appareil et notamment celui des moules, la platine et le palier étant, de préférence, en matière plastique. Le palier est facilement assemblé à la platine par son engagement ainsi que celui des ergots dans la lumière précitée jusqu'au contact de la collerette avec la platine et sa rotation d'un quart de tour qui réalise le verrouillage.The realization in two different parts of the plate and the bearing in the form of a chimney makes it possible to reduce the costs of the apparatus and in particular that of the molds, the plate and the bearing being preferably made of plastic. The bearing is easily assembled to the plate by its engagement as well as that of the lugs in the aforementioned slot until the contact of the flange with the plate and its rotation of a quarter turn which achieves the locking.

Selon une forme préférée de réalisation de l'appareil, l'arbre et son bras radial sont moulés en une seule pièce, et l'extrémité libre de l'arbre, qui a une section transversale carrée, est prolongée par deux doigts parallèles dont chacun est muni, sur sa paroi tournée vers l'extérieur, d'une dent permettant l'encliquetage d'un élément de transmission agissant sur la pièce mobile.According to a preferred embodiment of the device, the shaft and its radial arm are molded in one piece, and the free end of the shaft, which has a square cross section, is extended by two parallel fingers each of which is provided, on its wall facing outwards, with a tooth allowing the latching of a transmission element acting on the moving part.

Grâce à l'encliquetage, il est possible d'adapter rapidement et facilement sur l'appareil différents moyens de transmission en fonction des mouvements à créer.Thanks to the snap-fastening, it is possible to quickly and easily adapt various transmission means to the device according to the movements to be created.

Selon une possibilité, à l'extrémité libre de l'arbre est calée l'une des extrémités d'une bielle dont l'autre extrémité est articulée à une tringle solidaire de la pièce mobile à animer, la tringle étant engagée dans une glissière de guidage dans laquelle elle est retenue, de manière amovible, par encliquetage grâce à une nervure qu'elle porte, dont le bord libre muni d'un bourrelet est destiné à être engagé dans une lumière correspondante ménagée dans la glissière.According to one possibility, at the free end of the shaft is wedged one of the ends of a connecting rod, the other end of which is articulated to a rod integral with the movable part to be animated, the rod being engaged in a slide of guide in which it is retained, in a removable manner, by snap-fastening by means of a rib which it carries, the free edge of which is provided with a bead is intended to be engaged in a corresponding lumen formed in the slide.

Grâce au jeu de la bielle et de la tringle, la rotation alternative de l'arbre, engendrée par la rotation du disque comprenant la gorge en forme de came entraîne la pièce mobile selon un mouvement alternatif de translation. La pièce mobile portée par la tringle peut être facilement interchangée en fonction des besoins, par retrait de la tringle hors de la glissière, ce retrait étant rendu possible par un montage par encliquetage.Thanks to the play of the connecting rod and the rod, the alternating rotation of the shaft, generated by the rotation of the disc comprising the cam-shaped groove drives the moving part in an alternating translational movement. The moving part carried by the rod can be easily interchanged as required, by removing the rod from the slide, this withdrawal being made possible by snap-on mounting.

Selon une autre possibilité, l'extrémité libre de l'arbre est reliée à un disque solidaire de la pièce mobile à animer. Le mouvement animant la pièce mobile est alors un mouvement alternatif de pivotement.Alternatively, the free end of the shaft is connected to a disc attached to the moving part to be animated. The movement animating the moving part is then an alternative pivoting movement.

De préférence, le palier en forme de cheminée est muni, à son extrémité située à proximité de l'extrémité libre de l'arbre, de deux ergots en saillie radiale, diamétralement opposés, destinés à coopérer avec une pièce de verrouillage comprenant une lumière correspondant au diamètre du palier prolongée par deux découpes correspondant aux ergots.Preferably, the chimney-shaped bearing is provided, at its end located near the free end of the shaft, with two radially protruding, radially protruding lugs, intended to cooperate with a locking piece comprising a corresponding lumen the diameter of the bearing extended by two cutouts corresponding to the pins.

Ainsi, l'extrémité du palier peut être engagée au travers d'une lumière ménagée dans l'une des pièces de la figurine ou du panneau, puis au travers de la lumière ménagée dans la pièce de verrouillage qui, après rotation d'un quart de tour, assure l'assemblage de l'appareil à la pièce de la figurine ou du panneau.Thus, the end of the bearing can be engaged through a light formed in one of the parts of the figurine or of the panel, then through the light formed in the locking part which, after rotation by a quarter turn, assembles the device to the part of the figurine or panel.

Avantageusement, la face du disque opposée à celle comprenant la gorge en forme de came est munie d'un maneton excentré sur lequel est articulé un élément de transmission relié à une autre pièce mobile.Advantageously, the face of the disc opposite to that comprising the cam-shaped groove is provided with an eccentric pin on which is articulated a transmission element connected to another moving part.

Il est ainsi possible de réaliser l'animation de plusieurs pièces mobiles avec un seul appareil.It is thus possible to carry out the animation of several moving parts with a single device.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes de réalisation préférées de l'appareil selon l'invention.In any case, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing, by way of nonlimiting examples, two preferred embodiments of the apparatus according to the invention.

Figure 6 est une vue d'une figurine équipée de l'appareil selon l'invention.Figure 6 is a view of a figurine equipped with the apparatus according to the invention.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent, sous différents angles, un panneau publicitaire 1 qui comprend une pièce mobile 2 en forme de perceuse électrique animée par l'appareil 3 selon l'invention. L'appareil 3 est situé sur la face postérieure du panneau 1, et est protégé par un boîtier 4. L'appareil 3 anime la pièce mobile 2 par l'intermédiaire de moyens de transmission constitués par une bielle 6, une tringle 7 solidaire de la pièce mobile 2, et une glissière de guidage 8.Figures 1 and 2 show, from different angles, an advertising panel 1 which comprises a movable part 2 in the form of an electric drill driven by the device 3 according to the invention. The device 3 is located on the rear face of the panel 1, and is protected by a housing 4. The device 3 drives the moving part 2 by means of transmission means constituted by a connecting rod 6, a rod 7 secured to the moving part 2, and a guide slide 8.

L'appareil 3 comprend un moteur électrique 10 porté par une platine-support 11 comportant des pattes 11a, qui est muni d'une vis sans fin 12 qui entraîne en rotation axiale un disque 13 par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de pignons réducteurs 14,15,16,17,18.The apparatus 3 comprises an electric motor 10 carried by a support plate 11 comprising lugs 11a, which is provided with an endless screw 12 which drives in axial rotation a disc 13 by means of a set of reduction gears 14,15,16,17,18.

En se reportant aux figures 2 et 3, il apparaît que le disque 13 comprend une gorge 19 en forme de came dans laquelle est engagé un ergot 20 porté par un bras radial 21 situé à l'une 22a des extrémités d'un arbre 22, qui lui est lié en rotation. Le disque 13 comprend de plus, sur sa face opposée à celle comprenant la gorge 19, un maneton 27. A l'autre extrémité 22b de l'arbre 22 est calée l'une 6a des extrémités de la bielle 6, l'extrémité 22b, de section carrée, étant prolongée par deux doigts 23 parallèles, dont chacun est muni, sur sa paroi tournée vers l'extérieur, d'une dent 23a permettant l'encliquetage de l'extrémité 6a de la bielle 6, grâce à une lumière correspondante qu'elle comprend.Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, it appears that the disc 13 comprises a groove 19 in the form of a cam in which is engaged a lug 20 carried by a radial arm 21 located at one 22a of the ends of a shaft 22, linked to it in rotation. The disc 13 further comprises, on its face opposite to that comprising the groove 19, a crank pin 27. At the other end 22b of the shaft 22 is wedged one 6a of the ends of the connecting rod 6, the end 22b , of square section, being extended by two parallel fingers 23, each of which is provided, on its wall facing outwards, with a tooth 23a allowing the snap-fastening of the end 6a of the connecting rod 6, thanks to a light correspondent that she understands.

L'arbre 22 est engagé dans un palier 24 en forme de cheminée. Les figures 2,4 et 5 montrent que le palier 24 est fixé à la platine 11 par l'une 24a de ses extrémités qui comprend deux ergots 25 en saillie radiale, diamétralement opposés, et une collerette 26 située à une distance des ergots 25 sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la platine 11, cette dernière comportant une lumière 28 correspondant au diamètre du palier 24 prolongée par deux découpes 28a correspondant aux ergots 25.The shaft 22 is engaged in a bearing 24 in the form of a chimney. Figures 2,4 and 5 show that the bearing 24 is fixed to the plate 11 by one 24a of its ends which comprises two pins 25 projecting radially, diametrically opposite, and a flange 26 located at a distance from the pins 25 substantially equal to the thickness of the plate 11, the latter comprising a slot 28 corresponding to the diameter of the bearing 24 extended by two cutouts 28a corresponding to the pins 25.

En pratique, l'extrémité 24a du palier 24 et les ergots 25 sont engagés dans la lumière 28 et les découpes 28a jusqu'au contact de la collerette 26 avec la platine 11. La rotation d'un quart de tour du palier 24 réalise sa solidarisation avec la platine 11 (figure 5).In practice, the end 24a of the bearing 24 and the pins 25 are engaged in the slot 28 and the cutouts 28a until the flange 26 comes into contact with the plate 11. The rotation of the bearing 24 by a quarter turn secured to plate 11 (Figure 5).

En outre, l'extrémité 24b du palier 24 opposée à l'extrémité 24a est munie de deux ergots 30 en saillie radiale, diamétralement opposés, destinés à coopérer avec une pièce de verrouillage 31 comprenant une lumière 32 correspondant au diamètre du palier 24 prolongée par deux découpes 32a.In addition, the end 24b of the bearing 24 opposite the end 24a is provided with two studs 30 in radially projecting, diametrically opposite, intended to cooperate with a locking piece 31 comprising a slot 32 corresponding to the diameter of the bearing 24 extended by two cutouts 32a.

De la même manière que ci-dessus décrit, la rotation d'un quart de tour de la pièce 31 réalise l'assemblage de l'appareil 3 au panneau 1.In the same manner as described above, the rotation of a quarter turn of the part 31 assembles the device 3 to the panel 1.

En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, il est visible que la bielle 6 est munie, à son extrémité 6b opposée à l'extrémité 6a, d'un doigt 34, en saillie perpendiculaire, engagé dans une lumière 35 ménagée dans l'une des extrémités 7a de la tringle 7. Cette dernière comprend une nervure 7b dont le bord libre comporte un bourrelet 7c qui est engagé dans une lumière 38 ménagée dans la glissière 8.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, it is visible that the connecting rod 6 is provided, at its end 6b opposite the end 6a, with a finger 34, projecting perpendicularly, engaged in a light 35 formed in one ends 7a of the rod 7. The latter comprises a rib 7b, the free edge of which comprises a bead 7c which is engaged in a slot 38 formed in the slide 8.

Le panneau 1, la pièce mobile 2, le boîtier 4 sont réalisés en carton. Le disque 13, ainsi que l'ensemble axe 22, bras 21, ergot 20, sont réalisés en nylon graphité, l'ensemble axe 22, bras 21, ergot 20 étant moulé en une seule pièce. Les autres pièces, hormis le moteur 10, sont en matière plastique.The panel 1, the moving part 2, the housing 4 are made of cardboard. The disc 13, as well as the axle 22, arm 21, lug 20 assembly, are made of graphite nylon, the axle 22, arm 21, lug 20 assembly being molded in one piece. The other parts, apart from the motor 10, are made of plastic.

L'invention fonctionne comme décrit ci-après:The invention operates as described below:

La rotation du disque 13 et de la gorge 19 déplace l'ergot 20 et le bras 21, ce qui provoque le pivotement oscillant de l'arbre 22. La bielle 6 actionne la tringle 7 qui se déplace dans la lumière 8 selon un mouvement de translation alternatif.The rotation of the disc 13 and of the groove 19 displaces the lug 20 and the arm 21, which causes the oscillating pivoting of the shaft 22. The connecting rod 6 actuates the rod 7 which moves in the lumen 8 according to a movement of alternative translation.

Grâce à la conformation des extrémités 24a et 24b du palier 24 et aux lumières 28,28a,32,32a correspondantes, l'assemblage de l'appareil se réalise rapidement. L'encliquetage amovible de l'extrémité 6a de la bielle 6 sur les doigts 23, et celui de la tringle 7 dans la lumière 38 permet d'interchanger les éléments de transmission 6 et 7 et de réaliser d'autres mouvements, ou d'interchanger la pièce mobile 2. Différents mouvements peuvent être obtenus en utilisant des disques comprenant des gorges de formes différentes. Le maneton 27 peut être relié à des éléments de transmission auxiliaires permettant d'obtenir une animation secondaire.Thanks to the conformation of the ends 24a and 24b of the bearing 24 and to the corresponding slots 28, 28a, 32, 32a, the assembly of the device is carried out quickly. The removable snap-fitting of the end 6a of the connecting rod 6 on the fingers 23, and that of the rod 7 in the slot 38 makes it possible to interchange the transmission elements 6 and 7 and to carry out other movements, or interchanging the moving part 2. Different movements can be obtained by using discs comprising grooves of different shapes. Crankpin 27 can be connected to auxiliary transmission elements allowing secondary animation to be obtained.

La figure 6 représente une deuxième forme de réalisation d'une figurine équipée de l'appareil 3. Les éléments identiques à ceux précédemment décrits portent les mêmes références. L'extrémité 22b de l'arbre 22 est reliée à un disque 40 qui est calé sur elle, le disque 40 étant solidaire d'une pièce mobile 41 de la figurine. Le maneton 27 est articulé à une extrémité d'une bielle 42 dont l'autre extrémité est articulée à l'une des extrémités d'une biellette 43 solidaire en rotation d'un axe auxiliaire 44, lui-même solidaire d'une pièce mobile 45 de la figurine.FIG. 6 represents a second embodiment of a figurine equipped with the apparatus 3. The elements identical to those previously described bear the same references. The end 22b of the shaft 22 is connected to a disc 40 which is wedged on it, the disc 40 being integral with a movable part 41 of the figurine. The crank pin 27 is articulated at one end of a connecting rod 42 the other end of which is articulated at one of the ends of a connecting rod 43 integral in rotation with an auxiliary axis 44, itself integral with a movable part 45 of the figurine.
