Description

La présente invention concerne un support de timbre préencré à course réglable, comportant une poignée, une base fixe destinée à être appliquée sur un substrat à imprimer, et un porte-timbre mobile avec ladite poignée le long d'une direction axiale de déplacement, ledit porte-timbre étant, d'une part, maintenu en position de retrait dans une cavité de ladite base sous l'action d'un moyen de rappel élastique, et, d'autre part, mis en contact avec ledit substrat à imprimer par déplacement axial de la poignée sur une course donnée, à l'encontre de l'action dudit moyen de rappel élastique.The present invention relates to a pre-inked stamp holder with adjustable stroke, comprising a handle, a fixed base intended to be applied to a substrate to be printed, and a stamp holder movable with said handle along an axial direction of movement, said stamp holder being, on the one hand, held in the retracted position in a cavity of said base under the action of an elastic return means, and, on the other hand, brought into contact with said substrate to be printed by displacement axial of the handle over a given stroke, against the action of said elastic return means.

Quand on utilise un timbre préencré, il est très important que le bloc d'impression poreux imprégné d'encre supportant le texte à imprimer ne soit ni trop ni pas assez comprimé. Si la compression est trop forte, une trop grande quantité d'encre est exprimée du bloc d'impression, si bien que l'encre est rapidement consommée et que, de plus, l'impression obtenue est inutilement épaisse et donc moins belle. A l'inverse, si la compression n'est pas suffisante, une quantité d'encre trop faible se trouve exprimée si bien que l'impression obtenue devient plus fine et moins lisible. En outre, au fur et à mesure que l'encre contenue dans le timbre se consomme, l'épaisseur de celui-ci diminue ce qui, à son tour, entraîne que la pression diminue également de plus en plus, alors que le bloc d'impression contient encore assez d'encre pour pouvoir effectuer une impression ayant une apparence d'une qualité acceptable.When using a pre-inked stamp, it is very important that the porous ink-impregnated print block supporting the text to be printed is neither too much nor not sufficiently compressed. If the compression is too strong, too much ink is expressed from the printing unit, so that the ink is consumed quickly and, moreover, the impression obtained is unnecessarily thick and therefore less beautiful. Conversely, if the compression is not sufficient, too little ink is expressed so that the impression obtained becomes finer and less legible. In addition, as the ink contained in the stamp is consumed, the thickness of the latter decreases which, in turn, causes that the pressure also decreases more and more, while the block d The print still contains enough ink to be able to print with an appearance of acceptable quality.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, il a déjà été proposé des supports de timbre préencré à course réglable, conformes au préambule, qui ont tous pour effet d'ajuster la course de la poignée, et donc du porte-timbre, à la quantité d'encre encore présente dans le bloc d'impression poreux du timbre, de manière à obtenir le rendu d'impression désiré pour le texte à imprimer.To overcome these drawbacks, pre-inked stamp supports with adjustable stroke have already been proposed, conforming to the preamble, which all have the effect of adjusting the stroke of the handle, and therefore of the stamp holder, to the quantity of ink still present in the porous stamp printing block, so as to obtain the desired printing rendering for the text to be printed.

Certains supports de timbre préencré à course réglable connus utilisent une butée limitant la course de la poignée, dont la position est ajustable le long d'une tige filetée. D'autres encore mettent en oeuvre un excentrique pour régler à volonté la course de la poignée.Some known pre-inked adjustable stroke stamp supports use a stop limiting the stroke of the handle, the position of which is adjustable along a threaded rod. Still others use an eccentric to adjust the stroke of the handle as desired.

Toutefois, ces supports de timbre préencré à course réglable connus de l'état de la technique présentent l'inconvénient d'être de conception complexe du fait du grand nombre de pièces différentes qu'ils comportent, avec comme conséquence un coût plus élevé et un assemblage relativement long à réaliser.However, these pre-inked stamp supports with adjustable stroke known from the state of the art have the drawback of being of complex design due to the large number of different parts which they comprise, with as a consequence a higher cost and a relatively long assembly to achieve.

Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un support de timbre préencré à course réglable, du type conforme au préambule, qui impliquerait un nombre de pièces plus limité et qui, de ce fait, serait meilleur marché et de montage plus aisé que les supports connus.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a pre-inked stamp support with adjustable stroke, of the type conforming to the preamble, which would involve a more limited number of parts and which, therefore, would be better. market and assembly easier than known supports.

La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que ledit support comporte également une bague de réglage de la course de la poignée présentant, d'une part, un corps ayant la forme d'un cylindre de révolution d'axe D parallèle à ladite direction axiale de déplacement, et, d'autre part, un moyen de butée fixe pour limiter le déplacement axial de ladite poignée, lequel moyen de butée fixe coopère avec un moyen de butée mobile prévu sur la poignée, l'un au moins desdits moyens de butée étant constitué par une hélice de révolution d'axe D, et la position de ladite bague de réglage étant ajustable en rotation autour de son axe D.The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that said support also comprises a ring for adjusting the stroke of the handle having, on the one hand, a body having the shape of a cylinder of revolution of axis D parallel to said axial direction of movement, and, on the other hand, a fixed stop means for limiting the axial movement of said handle, which fixed stop means cooperates with a movable stop means provided on the handle, at least one of said stop means being constituted by a helix of revolution of axis D, and the position of said adjustment ring being adjustable in rotation about its axis D .

Ainsi, le support de timbre préencré de l'invention est constitué d'un nombre réduit de pièces, cinq au total. Comme on le verra en détail plus loin, ces pièces sont d'un assemblage très facile et rapide. D'autre part, à l'exception bien entendu du moyen de rappel élastique, tel qu'un ressort spirale, toutes les autres pièces du support de l'invention peuvent être réalisées par simple moulage d'un matériau plastique, ce qui en diminue sensiblement le prix de revient.Thus, the pre-inked stamp holder of the invention consists of a reduced number of pieces, five in total. As will be seen in detail below, these parts are very easy and quick to assemble. On the other hand, with the exception of course of the elastic return means, such as a spiral spring, all the other parts of the support of the invention can be produced by simple molding of a plastic material, which reduces it substantially the cost price.

La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut-être réalisée.The description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be implemented.

La figure 1 est une vue éclatée de côté d'un support de timbre préencré à course réglable, conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 is an exploded side view of a pre-inked stamp holder with adjustable stroke, according to the invention.

La figure 2 est un diagramme montrant comment s'effectue la coopération entre les deux moyens de butée respectivement prévus sur la poignée et sur la bague de réglage.FIG. 2 is a diagram showing how cooperation takes place between the two stop means respectively provided on the handle and on the adjustment ring.

La figure 3 est une vue de dessus de la base du support montrée à la figure 1.FIG. 3 is a top view of the base of the support shown in FIG. 1.

La figure 1 montre en vue de côté éclatée un support de timbre préencré à course réglable, comportant une poignée 10, une base 20 fixe destinée être appliquée sur un substrat (non représenté) à imprimer, et une porte-timbre 30 prévu pour recevoir un timbre, ou bloc d'impression poreux inhibé d'encre portant le texte à imprimer. Ce porte-timbre 30 est mobile avec la poignée 10 à laquelle il est rigidement relié par une tige centrale 11. Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, ladite tige centrale 11 forme une pièce unique avec la poignée 10. La solidarisation de la tige centrale avec le porte-timbre 30 est réalisée, par exemple, par emmanchement à force de la tige centrale 11, creuse, sur un fût 31 aménagé sur le porte-timbre 30.FIG. 1 shows in exploded side view a pre-inked stamp holder with adjustable stroke, comprising a handle 10, a fixed base 20 intended to be applied to a substrate (not shown) to be printed, and a stamp holder 30 intended to receive a stamp, or porous printing block inhibited of ink carrying the text to be printed. This stamp holder 30 is movable with the handle 10 to which it is rigidly connected by a central rod 11. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, said central rod 11 forms a single piece with the handle 10. The central rod is joined to the stamp holder 30 , for example, by force fitting the hollow central rod 11 on a barrel 31 fitted on the stamp holder 30.

La tige centrale 11 définit une direction axiale de déplacement pour la poignée 10 et le porte-timbre 30, direction parallèle à l'axe D représenté en trait mixte sur la figure 1. Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, le porte-timbre 30 est maintenu en position de retrait dans une cavité 21 de la base 20 sous l'action d'un moyen 40 de rappel élastique, un ressort spirale de compression par exemple. Cette position de retrait correspond à la position de repos du porte-timbre et de la poignée 10, en l'absence d'effort exercé sur ladite poignée par l'utilisateur. D'autre part, le porte-timbre 30 peut être mis en contact avec le substrat à imprimer par déplacement axial de la poignée sur une course donnée, sous l'action d'un effort exercé par l'utilisateur à l'encontre de l'action du ressort 40 de compression.The central rod 11 defines an axial direction of movement for the handle 10 and the stamp holder 30, direction parallel to the axis D shown in phantom in Figure 1. As can be seen in this figure, the stamp holder 30 is held in the withdrawn position in a cavity 21 of the base 20 under the action of an elastic return means 40, a spiral compression spring for example. This withdrawal position corresponds to the rest position of the stamp holder and the handle 10, in the absence of force exerted on said handle by the user. On the other hand, the stamp holder 30 can be brought into contact with the substrate to be printed by axial displacement of the handle over a given stroke, under the action of a force exerted by the user against the action of the compression spring 40.

Afin de régler à volonté la course de la poignée 10, la figure 1 montre que le support de timbre préencré comporte également une bague 50 de réglage présentant, d'une part, un corps 51 ayant la forme d'un cylindre de révolution d'axe D parallèle à la direction axiale de déplacement de la poignée 10, et, d'autre part, un moyen 52 de butée pour limiter le déplacement axial de la poignée. Ledit moyen 52 de butée est fixe par rapport à la base 20 et coopère avec un moyen 12 de butée mobile prévu sur la poignée 10.In order to adjust the stroke of the handle 10 as desired, FIG. 1 shows that the pre-inked stamp support also comprises an adjustment ring 50 having, on the one hand, a body 51 having the shape of a cylinder of revolution of axis D parallel to the axial direction of movement of the handle 10, and, on the other hand, a stop means 52 for limiting the axial movement of the handle. Said abutment means 52 is fixed relative to the base 20 and cooperates with a movable abutment means 12 provided on the handle 10.

On peut observer sur la figure 1 que les moyens de butée fixe 52 et mobile 12 sont constitués par deux hélices de révolution d'axe D, identiques, en position tête-bêche l'une par rapport à l'autre et venant en appui l'une contre l'autre lors du déplacement axial de la poignée 10 vers la bague 50 de réglage. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, la poignée 10 est creuse et l'hélice 12 apparaît comme le bord inférieur d'un relief réalisé sur la paroi intérieure latérale de ladite poignée.It can be seen in Figure 1 that the means of fixed stop 52 and movable 12 consist of two identical helixes of axis D, in head-to-tail position relative to one another and bearing against one another during the axial displacement of the handle 10 towards the adjustment ring 50. In the example of FIG. 1, the handle 10 is hollow and the propeller 12 appears as the lower edge of a relief produced on the inner lateral wall of said handle.

Le réglage de la course de la poignée 10 est obtenu par le fait que la position de la bague 50 de réglage est ajustable en rotation autour de l'axe D, comme l'indique la double flèche F. Au cours de sa rotation, la bague de réglage est maintenue en position axiale à l'aide d'un fût 22 de centrage aménagé sur la base 20 du support de timbre.The adjustment of the stroke of the handle 10 is obtained by the fact that the position of the adjustment ring 50 is adjustable in rotation about the axis D, as indicated by the double arrow F. During its rotation, the adjustment ring is held in the axial position using a centering barrel 22 arranged on the base 20 of the stamp support.

La figure 2 illustre comment le réglage de la course de la poignée 10 peut être réalisée avec deux hélices servant de moyens de butée fixe et mobile. Sur cette figure, les hélices 52 et 12 sont représentées de façon développée. Lorsque l'hélice de la bague 50 de réglage est dans la position définie par la référence 52, la course de la poignée 10 est déterminée par la double flèche a. Dans cette position, la course de la poignée est minimale est correspond à une compression faible du tampon préencré contre le substrat.Figure 2 illustrates how the adjustment of the stroke of the handle 10 can be achieved with two propellers serving as fixed and movable stop means. In this figure, the propellers 52 and 12 are shown in developed form. When the propeller of the adjusting ring 50 is in the position defined by the reference 52, the stroke of the handle 10 is determined by the double arrow a. In this position, the stroke of the handle is minimal and corresponds to a weak compression of the pad pre-inked against the substrate.

Lorsque l'utilisateur tourne la bague 50 de réglage dans le sens de la flèche F' pour amener l'hélice correspondante dans la position indiquée par la référence 52', la course de la poignée 10, déterminée par la double flèche c, est supérieure à la course correspondant à la position précédente.When the user turns the adjusting ring 50 in the direction of the arrow F 'to bring the corresponding propeller into the position indicated by the reference 52', the stroke of the handle 10, determined by the double arrow c, is greater to the stroke corresponding to the previous position.

La course maximale est obtenue en tournant la bague de réglage toujours dans le sens de la flèche F' jusqu'à la position définie par la double flèche b.The maximum stroke is obtained by turning the adjusting ring always in the direction of the arrow F 'until the position defined by the double arrow b.

De manière à réaliser une variation monotone de la course de la poignée entre deux positions extrêmales de la bague 50 de réglage, il est prévu des moyens de détrompage constitués, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, d'une part, d'une encoche 13 pratiquée à l'extrémité de la tige centrale 11, coopérant avec un béquet 32 en saillie disposée sur le fût 31 du porte-timbre 30, afin de placer l'hélice 12 de la poignée 10 dans une position déterminée connue pour autant que le porte-timbre 30 ait été également placé dans une position déterminée par rapport à la base 20 au moyen, par exemple, d'une encoche 33 pratiquée dans le porte-timbre 30 et d'un bec 24 en saillie correspondant, aménagé dans la cavité 21 de la base 20. D'autre part, le fût 22 de centrage de la base 20 comporte un téton 23 de butée, fixe par rapport à l'hélice 12, qui définit deux positions extrêmales a, b pour un téton 53 solidaire de la bague 50 de réglage. Lorsque le téton 53 est en position a, l'hélice 52 de la bague de réglage est, par exemple, dans la position a de la course maximum indiquée sur la figure 2. Par rotation dans le sens représenté par la flèche F", le téton 53 est amené dans la position b par rapport au téton 23 de butée, correspondant à la position b de course maximum de l'hélice 52 par rapport à l'hélice 12, conformément à la figure 2.In order to achieve a monotonous variation of the stroke of the handle between two extreme positions of the adjusting ring 50, there is provided polarization means constituted, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, on the one hand, of a notch 13 formed at the end of the central rod 11, cooperating with a projecting spout 32 disposed on the barrel 31 of the stamp holder 30, in order to place the propeller 12 of the handle 10 in a determined position known for all that that the stamp holder 30 has also been placed in a determined position relative to the base 20 by means, for example, of a notch 33 formed in the stamp holder 30 and of a corresponding projecting spout 24, arranged in the cavity 21 of the base 20. On the other hand, the barrel 22 for centering the base 20 comprises a stop stud 23, fixed relative to the propeller 12, which defines two extreme positions a, b for a stud 53 integral with the adjustment ring 50. When the stud 53 is in position a, the propeller 52 of the adjusting ring is, for example, in position a of the maximum stroke indicated in FIG. 2. By rotation in the direction represented by the arrow F ", the pin 53 is brought into position b relative to stop pin 23, corresponding to position b of maximum stroke of propeller 52 relative to propeller 12, in accordance with FIG. 2.

Le réglage de la course de la poignée 10, et donc du porte-timbre 30, est ainsi effectué en tournant la bague 50 de réglage autour de son axe entre les deux positions extrêmales a et b, à l'aide éventuellement d'un moletage 54 réalisé sur le corps 51 de la bague de réglage afin d'offrir une bonne préhension dudit corps. Enfin, on peut voir sur la figure 1 que le fût 22 de centrage comporte des moyens 25 de crantage destinés à maintenir temporairement la bague 50 de réglage dans une position donnée, par coopération du téton 53 de la bague de réglage avec lesdits moyens 25 de crantage.The adjustment of the stroke of the handle 10, and therefore of the stamp holder 30, is thus carried out by turning the adjusting ring 50 around its axis between the two extreme positions a and b, possibly using a knurling 54 produced on the body 51 of the adjustment ring in order to provide a good grip on said body. Finally, we can see in Figure 1 that the barrel 22 of centering comprises notching means 25 intended to temporarily hold the adjusting ring 50 in a given position, by cooperation of the stud 53 of the adjusting ring with said notching means 25.

La figure 1 indique, par ailleurs, une disposition avantageuse du support de timbre préencré de l'invention qui réside dans le fait que la bague 50 de réglage assure la fonction supplémentaire de siège pour une extrémité du ressort spirale 40 de compression, l'autre extrémité de ce ressort venant en appui contre le fond de la poignée 10.FIG. 1 indicates, moreover, an advantageous arrangement of the pre-inked stamp support of the invention which resides in the fact that the adjustment ring 50 provides the additional function of seat for one end of the spiral compression spring 40, the other end of this spring bearing against the bottom of the handle 10.

On peut observer que le montage du support de timbre préencré, objet de l'invention, est très facile à réaliser. Il suffit pour cela de préparer les différentes pièces dans l'alignement représenté sur la figure 1, puis de les assembler par simple emmanchement à force de la tige centrale 11 sur le fût 31 aménagé sur le porte-timbre 30.It can be observed that the mounting of the pre-inked stamp support, object of the invention, is very easy to carry out. For this, it suffices to prepare the different parts in the alignment shown in FIG. 1, then to assemble them by simple fitting by force of the central rod 11 on the barrel 31 arranged on the stamp holder 30.

Le support de timbre préencré, conforme à l'invention, vient d'être décrit en mettant en oeuvre pour moyens de butée, fixe et mobile, deux hélices conjuguées. Il est bien entendu cependant que l'invention pourrait tout aussi bien être réalisée avec une seule hélice constituant l'un des moyens de butée, fixe ou mobile, l'autre moyen de butée complémentaire pouvant avoir la forme, par exemple, d'un simple téton venant en appui contre ladite hélice. Il faut toutefois remarquer que le mode de réalisation du support de timbre préencré de l'invention à deux hélices offre l'avantage de présenter une surface de contact plus grande entre les deux moyens de butée, ce qui garantit une moindre usure et une plus grande longévité.The pre-inked stamp support, according to the invention, has just been described by using two fixed helices for stop means, fixed and mobile. It is understood, however, that the invention could equally well be carried out with a single propeller constituting one of the stop means, fixed or mobile, the other complementary stop means being able to have the form, for example, of a single stud bearing against said propeller. It should however be noted that the embodiment of the pre-inked stamp support of the invention with two propellers offers the advantage of having a larger contact surface between the two abutment means, which guarantees less wear and greater longevity.
