Description

La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un couteau fermant perfectionné.The present invention essentially relates to an improved closing knife.

On connait depuis fort longtemps des couteaux fermants comprenant un manche en bois sur lequel est montée pivotante une lame.Closing knives have been known for a very long time including a wooden handle on which a blade is pivotally mounted.

Toutefois, le bois du manche peut se gonfler sous l'effet de l'humidité, de sorte que le frottement du talon de la lame lors de son pivotement par rapport au manche rend bien souvent difficile l'ouverture ou la fermeture de ladite lame.However, the wood of the handle can swell under the effect of humidity, so that the friction of the heel of the blade when it is pivoted relative to the handle very often makes it difficult to open or close said blade.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il a été proposé dans le document FR-A-2 516 844 de rapporter, sur l'extrémité du manche en bois une partie en résine synthétique qui est fixée sur un embout formé à l'extrémité du manche en bois, mais ceci complique la fabrication.To remedy this drawback, it has been proposed in document FR-A-2 516 844 to add, on the end of the wooden handle, a part of synthetic resin which is fixed to a tip formed at the end of the handle in wood, but this complicates manufacturing.

La présente invention a pour but de minimiser et faciliter les opérations de fabrication en grande série de couteaux qui seront donc peu coûteux et dont la lame ne présentera pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to minimize and facilitate large-scale manufacturing operations for knives which will therefore be inexpensive and whose blade will not have the drawbacks mentioned above.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un couteau fermant perfectionné du type comprenant un manche en bois et une pièce intermédiaire en matériau plastique ou composite fixée sur une extrémité du manche et sur laquelle est montée pivotante une lame par son talon, caractérisé en ce ladite pièce intermédiaire en matériau plastique ou composite est insérée et fixée par collage dans un logement formé par un perçage à ladite extrémité du manche en bois et en ce qu'une lame-ressort est fixée par clippage, emmanchement ou surmoulage dans la pièce intermédiaire et coopère avec le talon de la lame.To this end, the subject of the invention is an improved closing knife of the type comprising a wooden handle and an intermediate piece of plastic or composite material fixed on one end of the handle and on which a blade is pivotally mounted by its heel, characterized in that said intermediate piece of plastic or composite material is inserted and fixed by gluing in a housing formed by a bore at said end of the wooden handle and in that a leaf spring is fixed by clipping, fitting or overmolding in the intermediate piece and cooperates with the heel of the blade.

On comprend donc qu'il n'y a plus de problème de positionnement de la lame-ressort sur le manche, puisque celle-ci est initialement solidaire de la pièce intermédiaire qui forme en quelque sorte un bloc qu'il est facile d'enficher et de coller au bout du manche, d'où une simplification importante de la fabrication du couteau.It is therefore understood that there is no longer any problem of positioning the leaf spring on the handle, since the latter is initially secured to the intermediate piece which in a way forms a block which is easy to insert and to stick to the end of the handle, hence a significant simplification of the manufacture of the knife.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique du couteau selon cette invention, la forme de la pièce intermédiaire est telle qu'elle peut constituer un moyen détrompeur à l'insertion de ladite pièce dans le logement du manche pour que la fente prévue dans cette pièce pour recevoir de façon pivotante le talon de la lame soit en coïncidence avec la fente sur le manche devant recevoir la lame en position repliée.According to yet another characteristic of the knife according to this invention, the shape of the intermediate piece is such that it can constitute a polarizing means at the insertion of said piece into the housing of the handle so that the slot provided in this piece for receiving pivoting the heel of the blade is in coincidence with the slot on the handle to receive the blade in the folded position.

On précisera encore ici que l'extrémité de la pièce intermédiaire faisant saillie du manche peut comporter un tampon ou analogue protégeant ladite extrémité contre les chocs du talon de la lame lors de son ouverture.It will also be specified here that the end of the intermediate piece projecting from the handle may include a buffer or the like protecting said end against the impact of the heel of the blade when it is opened.

Le couteau fermant selon cette invention peut encore comporter une virole métallique montée sur l'extrémité de la pièce intermédiaire faisant saillie du manche après montage par collage dans ce manche.The closing knife according to this invention may also include a metal ferrule mounted on the end of the intermediate piece projecting from the handle after mounting by gluing in this handle.

Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels:However, other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which:

La figure 1 est une vue de côté et en coupe verticale d'un couteau fermant conforme à cette invention.Figure 1 is a side view in vertical section of a closing knife according to this invention.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1.

On voit sur ces figures un couteau fermant comprenant un manche 1 de préférence en bois sur lequel est montée une lame pivotante 2 comportant un talon 3.These figures show a closing knife comprising a handle 1, preferably of wood, on which is mounted a pivoting blade 2 comprising a heel 3.

Conformément à l'invention, le talon 3 de la lame 2 est monté pivotant grâce à un axe ou analogue 4 sur une pièce intermédiaire 5 en un matériau plastique ou composite, cette pièce intermédiaire étant insérée et fixée par collage dans un logement 6 formé par un perçage à l'une des extrémités du manche 1.According to the invention, the heel 3 of the blade 2 is pivotally mounted by a pin or the like 4 on an intermediate piece 5 of a plastic or composite material, this intermediate piece being inserted and fixed by gluing in a housing 6 formed by a hole at one end of the handle 1.

On a montré en 7 sur les figures une lame-ressort susceptible de coopérer avec le talon 3 de la lame 2 et qui est fixée par clippage, emmanchement ou analogue, et de préférence par surmoulage, dans la pièce intermédiaire 5, cette dernière comportant une partie 5a qui fait saillie du manche 1, comme cela apparaît clairement sur la figure 1.7 has been shown in the figures a leaf spring capable of cooperating with the heel 3 of the blade 2 and which is fixed by clipping, fitting or the like, and preferably by overmolding, in the intermediate part 5, the latter comprising a part 5a which projects from the handle 1, as is clearly shown in FIG. 1.

Ainsi, la pièce intermédiaire 5 et la lame-ressort 7 constituent une pièce monobloc qui, d'une part, comporte une fente 8 dans laquelle peut être facilement monté le talon 3 de la lame 2 au moyen de l'axe 4, et qui, d'autre part peut être immédiatement fixée par collage dans le logement 6 du manche 1, ce qui, comme on le comprend, facilite considérablement la fabrication du couteau par rapport à un couteau classique devant comporter une lame-ressort telle que 7.Thus, the intermediate piece 5 and the leaf spring 7 constitute a single piece which, on the one hand, has a slot 8 in which the heel 3 of the blade 2 can be easily mounted by means of the axis 4, and which , on the other hand can be immediately fixed by gluing in the housing 6 of the handle 1, which, as it is understood, considerably facilitates the manufacture of the knife compared to a conventional knife having to include a leaf spring such as 7.

La pièce intermédiaire 5 peut tout simplement présenter une forme cylindrique susceptible de s'engager, par son extrémité 5b dans un perçage correspondant et lui aussi cylindrique formant le logement 6, dans le manche 1.The intermediate piece 5 can simply have a cylindrical shape capable of engaging, by its end 5b in a corresponding bore and also cylindrical forming the housing 6, in the handle 1.

Suivant la réalisation particulière visible sur les figures, la pièce intermédiaire 5 est formée de deux parties cylindriques désaxées constituant respectivement les parties 5a et 5b et assurant le centrage de la pièce 5 dans le logement 6 possédant une forme correspondante. On observera qu'avec une telle configuration, on réalise un détrompage à l'insertion de la pièce 5 dans le logement 6 pour que la fente 8 prévue dans la pièce 5 pour recevoir le talon 3 de la lame 2 soit en coïncidence avec la fente 9 prévue sur le manche 1 et pouvant recevoir, comme cela est connu en soi, la lame 2 en position repliée.According to the particular embodiment visible in the figures, the intermediate part 5 is formed of two offset axial parts respectively constituting the parts 5a and 5b and ensuring the centering of the part 5 in the housing 6 having a corresponding shape. It will be observed that with such a configuration, there is a keying in the insertion of the part 5 in the housing 6 so that the slot 8 provided in the part 5 to receive the heel 3 of the blade 2 is in coincidence with the slot 9 provided on the handle 1 and can receive, as is known per se, the blade 2 in the folded position.

Il est important de remarquer ici que la pièce intermédiaire 5 étant en matériau composite ou plastique demeurera insensible à l'humidité, de sorte que le frottement, au pivotement, du talon 3 de la lame 2 sera, même à la longue, toujours le même, ce qui n'était pas le cas avec une lame montée pivotante directement sur le manche en bois du couteau. Au surplus, la fixation de la lame 2 par l'axe 4 sur la pièce intermédiaire 5 ne posera aucun problème spécial et n'exigera aucune précaution particulière, eu égard au frottement entre lame 2 et pièce 5.It is important to note here that the intermediate piece 5 being made of composite or plastic material will remain insensitive to moisture, so that the friction, when pivoting, of the heel 3 of the blade 2 will, even in the long run, always be the same , which was not the case with a blade pivotally mounted directly on the wooden handle of the knife. Furthermore, the fixing of the blade 2 by the axis 4 on the intermediate piece 5 will not pose any special problem and will not require any particular precaution, having regard to the friction between blade 2 and piece 5.

On a montré en 10 sur la figure 1 un tampon protégeant l'extrémité 5a de la pièce intermédiaire 5 faisant saillie du manche 1, contre les chocs éventuels du talon 3 de la lame 2 lors de son ouverture qui est la position illustrée sur la figure 1.10 has been shown in Figure 1 a pad protecting the end 5a of the intermediate piece 5 projecting from the handle 1, against possible shocks from the heel 3 of the blade 2 when it is opened, which is the position illustrated in FIG. 1.

Egalement, l'extrémité 5a de la pièce intermédiaire 5 fixée par collage sur le manche 1, peut être entourée, bien que cela ne soit nullement obligatoire, par une virole métallique repérée en 11.Also, the end 5a of the intermediate piece 5 fixed by gluing to the handle 1, may be surrounded, although this is in no way obligatory, by a metallic ferrule marked at 11.

Ainsi, la périphérie de l'extrémité saillante 5a de la pièce 5 sera totalement protégée par la virole 11 qui, en outre, pourra conférer au couteau un aspect esthétique d'ensemble particulier.Thus, the periphery of the projecting end 5a of the part 5 will be completely protected by the ferrule 11 which, moreover, can give the knife a particular overall aesthetic appearance.

On a donc réalisé suivant l'invention un couteau fermant qui peut être facile et peu coûteux à fabriquer alors même qu'il comporte une lame-ressort agissant sur le talon de la lame, et qui ne présentera aucune irrégularité ou défaut de frottement au pivotement de ladite lame, quelles que soient les conditions dans lesquelles on utilise le couteau.A closing knife has therefore been produced according to the invention which can be easy and inexpensive to manufacture even though it has a leaf spring acting on the heel of the blade, and which will have no irregularity or lack of friction in pivoting. of said blade, whatever the conditions under which the knife is used.
