Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de manoeuvre de l'ouverture et de la fermeture d'un parasol.The present invention relates to a device for operating the opening and closing of a parasol.
Certains parasols sont difficiles à ouvrir manuellement, compte tenu de leur dimension, et donc du poids de leur toile et de leurs baleines.Some parasols are difficult to open manually, given their size, and therefore the weight of their canvas and their whales.
De plus, le déploiement des baleines et de la toile gêne l'utilisateur en début d'ouverture, et ce dernier doit passer sous la toile tout en maintenant le manchon qui coulisse le long du mât, pour pouvoir ouvrir complètement le parasol, ce qui n'est guère pratique.In addition, the deployment of the whales and the canvas hinders the user at the start of opening, and the latter must pass under the canvas while maintaining the sleeve which slides along the pole, in order to be able to fully open the parasol, which is hardly practical.
En outre, le système de verrouillage du manchon coulissant en position haute n'est guère pratique ni facile à utiliser.In addition, the locking system of the sliding sleeve in the high position is not very practical or easy to use.
On connaît, par le modèle d'utilité allemand n° 87 15 945, d'équiper un parasol d'un palan dont l'une des poulies est rapportée sur le manchon coulissant le long du mât et l'autre à la partie supérieure du mât, cette poulie supérieure comprenant un dispositif de coincement pouvant libérer la corde au-delà d'une certaine position et la retenir en deçà de cette position.It is known, by the German utility model No. 87 15 945, to equip a parasol with a hoist, one of the pulleys of which is attached to the sleeve sliding along the mast and the other to the upper part of the mast, this upper pulley comprising a clamping device capable of releasing the rope beyond a certain position and retaining it below this position.
Ce système présente l'inconvénient de ne pas permettre d'ouvrir et de fermer le parasol sans être gêné par le mouvement des baleines. En particulier, l'utilisateur est obligé de passer sous les baleines pour libérer le cordon du dispositif de coincement.This system has the drawback of not allowing the parasol to be opened and closed without being hampered by the movement of the whales. In particular, the user is forced to pass under the ribs to release the cord from the jamming device.
Le FR-A-2 520 211 décrit un parasol déployable pouvant être commandé par un palan. Dans ce parasol, l'utilisateur est également gêné par le déploiement ou le repliage des baleines lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture du parasol.FR-A-2 520 211 describes a deployable parasol which can be controlled by a hoist. In this parasol, the user is also hampered by the deployment or folding of the whales when the parasol is opened or closed.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif destiné principalement aux parasols utilisés par les particuliers, notamment de jardin, qui permette de manoeuvrer facilement et rapidement le parasol, en procurant un maintien tout-à-fait sûr du parasol en position ouverte et en étant simple, léger, peu onéreux, facile à mettre en place même sur des parasols non prévus à l'origine pour le recevoir et très facile à utiliser.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device intended mainly for parasols used by individuals, in particular for garden, which allows the parasol to be easily and quickly maneuvered, by providing a completely secure holding of the parasol in position. open and being simple, light, inexpensive, easy to set up even on parasols not originally intended to receive it and very easy to use.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est du type précité comprenant deux pièces rapportées, l'une sur le manchon qui coulisse le long du mât et l'autre sur le mât, à la partie supérieure de celui-ci, munies de poulies autour desquelles un cordon est destiné à être engagé pour former un palan, et d'un dispositif de coincement du cordon.The device according to the invention is of the aforementioned type comprising two added parts, one on the sleeve which slides along the mast and the other on the mast, at the top of the latter, provided with pulleys around which a cord is intended to be engaged to form a hoist, and a cord clamping device.
Selon l'invention, au moins la pièce inférieure comprend une rainure de coincement du cordon, d'axe vertical et située dans le prolongement de l'une des poulies de cette pièce, cette rainure étant aménagée de manière telle qu'elle permet le libre coulissement du cordon lorsque celui-ci est maintenu dans une direction sensiblement radiale par rapport au mât du parasol, et qu'elle coince le cordon lorsque l'extrémité libre de celui-ci est amenée dans une position sensiblement verticale, c'est-à-dire dans le prolongement des brins du palan que forme le cordon.According to the invention, at least the lower part comprises a groove for wedging the cord, of vertical axis and situated in the extension of one of the pulleys of this part, this groove being arranged in such a way that it allows free sliding of the cord when the latter is held in a substantially radial direction relative to the parasol mast, and that it jams the cord when the free end thereof is brought into a substantially vertical position, that is to say -to say in the extension of the hoist strands that form the cord.
Le cordon est engagé autour des poulies que comprennent les pièces pour former ledit palan et est, ensuite, engagé autour de la poulie de la pièce inférieure en face de laquelle est aménagée la rainure de coincement.The cord is engaged around the pulleys that the parts comprise to form said hoist and is then engaged around the pulley of the lower part opposite which the wedging groove is arranged.
Pour ouvrir le parasol, il suffit à l'utilisateur de saisir l'extrémité libre du cordon qui dépasse de la partie inférieure de la toile et d'opérer une traction sur elle selon une direction sensiblement radiale par rapport au mât.To open the parasol, the user need only grasp the free end of the cord which protrudes from the lower part of the canvas and pull it in a substantially radial direction relative to the mast.
Cette traction permet à l'utilisateur de s'éloigner du parasol au cours du mouvement d'ouverture de celui-ci, et donc, de ne pas être gêner par le déploiement des baleines et de la toile.This traction allows the user to move away from the parasol during the opening movement thereof, and therefore, not to be hampered by the deployment of the whales and the canvas.
Le palan que forme le dispositif permet une ouverture très facile du parasol, par toute personne, même lorsque celui-ci est d'assez grande dimension.The hoist that forms the device allows very easy opening of the parasol, by anyone, even when it is large enough.
Lorsque, en fin d'ouverture, la traction exercée sur lui est relâchée, le cordon vient naturellement s'engager dans la rainure que comprend la pièce inférieure, cet engagement étant favorisé par la position en hauteur du manchon. Il suffit alors à l'utilisateur, pour réaliser un verrouillage tout-à-fait fiable du parasol en position ouverte, d'enfoncer complètement le cordon dans la rainure, en amenant ce dernier en position verticale, dans le prolongement des brins du palan. Par sécurité, l'extrémité du cordon est ensuite amarrée à un taquet que comprend la pièce inférieure.When, at the end of the opening, the traction exerted on it is released, the cord naturally engages in the groove that the lower part comprises, this engagement being favored by the height position of the sleeve. It then suffices for the user, to achieve a completely reliable locking of the parasol in the open position, to push the cord completely into the groove, bringing the latter in a vertical position, in line with the strands of the hoist. For safety, the end of the cord is then moored to a cleat that includes the lower part.
Pour la fermeture du parasol, après retrait du cordon d'autour du taquet, il suffit d'opérer, d'un seul geste, une traction sur l'extrémité libre du cordon pour la dégager de la rainure, et de la laisser filer plus ou moins rapidement pour contrôler la vitesse de fermeture.To close the parasol, after removing the cord around the cleat, it suffices to pull the free end of the cord in a single gesture to release it from the groove and let it spin more or slower to control the closing speed.
Au cours de la fermeture, l'utilisateur peut, grâce à l'invention, se tenir à distance du parasol et n'est pas gêné par le mouvement des baleines.During the closing, the user can, thanks to the invention, keep away from the parasol and is not hampered by the movement of the whales.
Avantageusement, les pièces supérieure et inférieure du dispositif sont identiques et rapportées sur le parasol en étant disposées tête-bêche l'une par rapport à l'autre. La rainure que comprend la pièce supérieure permet de coincer le cordon. Si les poulies comprennent des taquets d'amarrage, le taquet de la pièce supérieure sert à la fixation du cordon. Grâce à ce coincement, ce taquet ne subit pas lui-même les efforts générés par le poids des baleines et de la toile et ne sert qu'à maintenir l'extrémité du cordon dans la rainure de coincement.Advantageously, the upper and lower parts of the device are identical and attached to the parasol while being arranged head to tail relative to each other. The groove in the upper part allows the cord to be trapped. If the pulleys include mooring cleats, the cleat on the upper part is used to secure the cord. Thanks to this wedging, this cleat does not itself undergo the forces generated by the weight of the whales and the canvas and only serves to hold the end of the cord in the wedging groove.
De telles pièces ont un prix de revient modéré puisque, étant identiques, elles peuvent être obtenues à partir d'un même moule.Such parts have a moderate cost price since, being identical, they can be obtained from the same mold.
De préférence, les parois de la pièce délimitant la rainure comprennent des nervures disposées angulairement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du cordon, pour augmenter l'effet de coincement de celui-ci.Preferably, the walls of the part delimiting the groove comprise ribs arranged angularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cord, to increase the jamming effect of the latter.
Avantageusement, chaque taquet est conformé pour pouvoir coincer le cordon entre lui et la paroi de la pièce à laquelle il est rattaché.Advantageously, each cleat is shaped to be able to wedge the cord between it and the wall of the room to which it is attached.
Ainsi, pour amarrer le cordon au taquet, il suffit de coincer le cordon entre le taquet et ladite paroi de la pièce.Thus, to tie the cord to the cleat, it suffices to wedge the cord between the cleat and said wall of the room.
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'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif de manoeuvre de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture d'un parasol qu'elle concerne.
- La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de ce dispositif, le parasol étant en position d'ouverture complète ; et
- les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en coupe et en élévation d'un parasol équipé de ce dispositif, respectivement en position de fermeture et en position d'ouverture partielle.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of this device, the parasol being in the fully open position; and
- Figures 2 and 3 are sectional views in elevation of a parasol equipped with this device, respectively in the closed position and in the partially open position.
La figure 1 représente un dispositif 2 de manoeuvre de l'ouverture et de la fermeture d'un parasol 3.FIG. 1 represents a device 2 for operating the opening and closing of a
Ce dispositif 2 comprend deux pièces 4 identiques, rapportées, en étant disposées tête-bêche l'une par rapport à l'autre, l'une sur le manchon 5 qui coulisse le long du mât 6 du parasol 3 et l'autre sur le mât 6, à la partie supérieure de celui-ci.This device 2 comprises two

Le taquet 13 de la pièce supérieure 4 sert à la fixation par coincement de l'une des extrémités du cordon 11, cette dernière comportant un noeud d'arrêt 11a.The
Le cordon 11 est ensuite engagé dans la rainure 15 de la pièce supérieure 4 puis autour des poulies 10 pour former le palan 12. La rainure 15 permet de coincer le cordon 11 entre le taquet 13 et les poulies 10. Ainsi, le taquet 13 ne subit pas lui-même les efforts générés par le poids des baleines 20 et de la toile 21 du parasol 3 et ne sert qu'à maintenir l'extrémité du cordon 11 dans la rainure de coincement 15. Les nervures 16 permettent d'augmenter l'effet de coincement du cordon 11 dans la rainure 15.The
Le cordon 11 est, en dernier lieu, engagé autour de la poulie 10 de la pièce inférieure 4 situé en face de la rainure de coincement 15.The
Ainsi que cela apparaît plus particulièrement sur les figures 2 et 3, il suffit à l'utilisateur, pour ouvrir le parasol 3, de saisir l'extrémité libre 11b du cordon 11 qui dépasse de la partie inférieure de la toile 21 et d'opérer une traction sur elle selon une direction sensiblement radiale par rapport au mât 6.As appears more particularly in FIGS. 2 and 3, it suffices for the user, to open the
Cette traction permet à l'utilisateur de s'éloigner du parasol 3 au cours du mouvement d'ouverture de celui-ci et, donc, de ne pas être gêné par le déploiement des baleines 20 et de la toile 21.This traction allows the user to move away from the
Le palan 12 permet une ouverture très facile, par toute personne, même lorsque le parasol est d'assez grande dimension.The
Lorsque, en fin d'ouverture, l'action exercée sur lui est relâchée, le cordon 11 vient naturellement s'engager dans la rainure 15 de la pièce inférieure 4, cet engagement étant favorisé par la position en hauteur du manchon 5. Il suffit alors à l'utilisateur, pour réaliser un verrouillage tout-à-fait fiable du parasol en position ouverte, d'enfoncer complètement le cordon 11 dans la rainure 15, en amenant ce dernier en position verticale, c'est-à-dire plus ou moins dans le prolongement des brins du palan 12. Par sécurité, l'extrémité 11b du cordon 11 est ensuite amarrée au taquet 13 que comprend la pièce inférieure 4.When, at the end of opening, the action exerted on it is released, the
Pour la fermeture du parasol, après retrait du cordon 11 d'autour du taquet 13, il suffit d'opérer, d'un seul geste, une traction sur l'extrémité libre 11b du cordon 11 pour la dégager de la rainure 15, et de la laisser filer plus ou moins rapidement pour contrôler la vitesse de fermeture du parasol 3. L'utilisateur peut se tenir à distance du parasol et n'est pas gêné par le mouvement des baleines 20.To close the parasol, after removing the
L'invention permet ainsi de fournir un dispositif 2 destiné principalement aux parasols 3 utilisés par les particuliers, notamment aux parasols de jardin, qui permette de manoeuvrer facilement et rapidement le parasol, en procurant un maintien tout-à-fait sûr de celui-ci en position ouverte et en étant simple, léger, peu onéreux, facile à mettre en place même sur des parasols 3 non prévus à l'origine pour recevoir ce dispositif, et très facile à utiliser, par toute personne.The invention thus makes it possible to provide a device 2 intended mainly for

Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à sa forme de réalisation qui a été décrite ci-dessus en référence au dessin, purement à titre d'exemple.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to its embodiment which has been described above with reference to the drawing, purely by way of example.
Elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, la pièce 4 supérieure peut ne pas comprendre de gorge 15 et le cordon 11 être simplement amarré au taquet 13, disposé alors latéralement par rapport à elle, le cordon 11 allant directement du taquet 13 aux poulies 10.On the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments. Thus, the
