Description

La présente invention concerne un dévidoir mobile pour tuyau, notamment pour tuyau d'arrosage, du type comprenant un chariot supporté latéralement par une paire de roues, des moyens de préhension pour le déplacement dudit chariot, et un tambour destiné à recevoir le tuyau à enrouler, ledit tambour étant monté sur ledit chariot à l'aide d'un bras de support creux tenant lieu de conduite d'alimentation et de telle manière que ledit tambour puisse tourner autour d'un axe horizontal, afin de permettre l'enroulement ou le déroulement dudit tuyau.The present invention relates to a mobile hose reel, especially for garden hose, of the type comprising a carriage laterally supported by a pair of wheels, gripping means for moving said carriage, and a drum intended to receive the hose to be wound, said drum being mounted on said carriage using a hollow support arm in place of supply line and such so that said drum can rotate about a horizontal axis, to allow the winding or unwinding of said pipe.

Un tel dévidoir est utilisé notamment pour l'arrosage des jardins et est décrit dans les documents FR-A-0 798 418, FR-A-1 287 283, FR-A-2 415 596, FR-A-2 507 584, FR-A-2 555 861 et FR A-2 679 890.Such a reel is used in particular for watering gardens and is described in documents FR-A-0 798 418, FR-A-1 287 283, FR-A-2 415 596, FR-A-2 507 584, FR-A-2 555 861 and FR A-2 679 890.

Dans les dévidoirs actuels, l'axe horizontal de rotation du tambour est fixe par rapport au chariot. Or, pour permettre le déroulement du tuyau dans de bonnes conditions, l'utilisateur doit exercer sur le tuyau une force dirigée dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation du tambour. Lorsqu'il doit arroser une zone de terrain qui entoure l'emplacement du dévidoir, l'utilisateur est donc obligé, de temps à autre, d'orienter le tambour en faisant pivoter l'ensemble du dévidoir autour d'un axe vertical.In current reels, the horizontal axis of rotation of the drum is fixed relative to the carriage. Now, to allow the hose unwinding in good conditions, the user must exert on the pipe a force directed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drum. When he has to water an area of land that surrounds the location of the reel, the user is therefore obliged, from time to time, to orient the drum while making rotate the entire reel around a vertical axis.

Le document FR-A-1 583 260 a déjà proposé un dévidoir orientable pour tuyau d'incendie. Ce dévidoir comporte un seul bras de support, monté pivotant sur un manchon vertical fixé à une paroi murale, le manchon et le bras de support tenant lieu de conduite d'alimentation en eau. Le manchon est disposé latéralement au tambour sensiblement dans le plan médian perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation.Document FR-A-1 583 260 has already proposed a reel adjustable for fire hose. This reel has a single arm support, pivotally mounted on a vertical sleeve fixed to a wall wall, the sleeve and the support arm taking the place of the pipe water supply. The sleeve is arranged laterally to the drum substantially in the median plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Cette disposition permet au mieux de faire pivoter le tambour dans une plage angulaire de 180° environ.This arrangement makes it possible at best to rotate the drum within an angular range of about 180 °.

US-A-4 700 737 et US-A-5 109 882 montrent des dévidoirs de tuyau montés de manière amovible sur un chariot. US-A-5 109 882 prévoit, de plus, que le tambour peut tourner de 360° autour d'un axe vertical, mais le manche de préhension du chariot est fixé sur ce dernier et dirigé vers le haut. Il constitue un obstacle pour le pivotement libre du tambour lorsque la partie de tuyau déroulée vient buter contre le manche. US-A-4,700,737 and US-A-5,109,882 show reels of hose removably mounted on a cart. US-A-5,109,882 also provides that the drum can rotate 360 ° around an axis vertical, but the handle of the carriage is fixed on the latter and headed up. It constitutes an obstacle for free pivoting of the drum when the unwound part of the pipe abuts against the handle.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dévidoir du type mentionné ci-dessus, dans lequel le tambour peut s'orienter librement dans toutes les directions sans déplacement du chariot.The object of the present invention is to provide a reel of the type mentioned above, in which the drum can be oriented freely in all directions without moving the carriage.

Le dévidoir selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que le bras de support est monté pivotant sur un manchon d'axe vertical, disposé sous le tambour et solidaire du chariot, afin que le tambour puisse pivoter librement autour dudit axe vertical, lorsqu'on exerce une traction sur ledit tuyau, par le fait que les moyens de préhension sont portés par ledit bras de support, afin de pivoter autour dudit axe vertical en même temps que ledit tambour et par le fait qu'il est prévu des moyens pour bloquer ledit bras de support sur ledit manchon au moins dans une position prédéterminée dans laquelle les moyens de préhension sont positionnés pour permettre un déplacement aisé du dévidoir.The dispenser according to the invention is characterized in that the arm support is pivotally mounted on a sleeve of vertical axis, arranged under the drum and secured to the carriage, so that the drum can pivot freely around said vertical axis, when exercising a traction on said pipe, by the fact that the gripping means are carried by said support arm, in order to pivot about said vertical axis at the same time as the said drum and by the fact that there are provided means for locking said support arm on said sleeve at least in a predetermined position in which the means of gripping are positioned to allow easy movement of the reel.

Grâce à cette disposition, toute la partie supérieure du dévidoir, c'est-à-dire le tambour, les moyens de préhension et le bras de support, pivote librement autour de l'axe vertical du manchon en fonction de la direction exercée par le tuyau sur le tambour. Les moyens de préhension, une canne de préhension, par exemple, tournent en même temps que le tambour et ne constituent aucune gêne pour le tuyau au cours du pivotement du tambour.Thanks to this arrangement, the entire upper part of the reel, that is to say the drum, the gripping means and the support arm, freely rotates around the vertical axis of the sleeve according to the direction exerted by the pipe on the drum. The means of gripping, a gripping rod, for example, rotate at the same the drum and do not cause any discomfort to the hose at the during the pivoting of the drum.

Avantageusement, les deux extrémités du bras de support sont filetées pour recevoir chacun un raccord tournant droit ou coudé en soi connu.Advantageously, the two ends of the support arm are threaded to each receive a straight or angled swivel fitting per se known.

Grâce à cette disposition, le manchon sert uniquement au support du tambour et au pivotement de ce dernier, et ne sert pas au transport de l'eau à l'arrivée, évitant ainsi les problèmes d'étanchéité à cet endroit.Thanks to this arrangement, the sleeve is used only for the support of the drum and its pivoting, and is not used to transport water on arrival, thus avoiding sealing problems at this location.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description suivante faite à titre d'exemple et en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue latérale du dévidoir selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de l'avant du dévidoir de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du dévidoir de la figure 1.
  • Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge on reading the following description given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side view of the reel according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the reel of Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of the reel of FIG. 1.
  • Le dévidoir 1 représenté sur le dessin est plus particulièrement destiné à recevoir un tuyau d'arrosage de jardin, mais il va de soi qu'il pourra être utilisé pour le rangement de tout autre tuyau. The reel 1 shown in the drawing is more particularly intended to receive a garden hose, but it stands to reason that it can be used for the storage of any other pipe.

    Il comporte un tambour 2 sur lequel peut être enroulé un tuyau d'arrosage non représenté sur le dessin par souci de clarté. Ce tambour 2 est monté rotatif sur une portion d'extrémité horizontale 3 d'un bras de support creux 4, en forme de point d'interrogation, dont l'autre portion d'extrémité 5, verticale est montée de manière à pouvoir pivoter dans un manchon 6, d'axe vertical 7, solidaire d'un chariot 8.It has a drum 2 on which a hose can be wound not shown in the drawing for the sake of clarity. This drum 2 is rotatably mounted on a horizontal end portion 3 of an arm of hollow support 4, in the form of a question mark, the other portion of which end 5, vertical is mounted so that it can pivot in a sleeve 6, of vertical axis 7, integral with a carriage 8.

    Le chariot 8, supporté par une paire latérale de roues 9, 10 montées aux extrémités d'un essieu 11, est constitué de deux tubes coudés 12, 13 semblables disposées symétriquement par rapport au plan médian vertical 14 de la paire de roues, dans des plan inclinés 15, 16. Les extrémités avant 12a, 13a des tubes coudés 12, 13 sont fixés à l'essieu 11, par soudure par exemple, tandis que les extrémités arrières 12b, 13b de ces tubes sont destinées à reposer sur le sol et constituent avec les roues 9, 10, le polygone de sustentation du dévidoir 1.The carriage 8, supported by a lateral pair of wheels 9, 10 mounted at the ends of an axle 11, consists of two tubes angled 12, 13 similar arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane vertical median 14 of the pair of wheels, in inclined planes 15, 16. The front ends 12a, 13a of the bent tubes 12, 13 are fixed to axle 11, for example by welding, while the rear ends 12b, 13b of these tubes are intended to rest on the ground and constitute with the wheels 9, 10, the support polygon of the reel 1.

    Le manchon 6 est fixé aux régions coudées 12c, 13c des deux tubes 12 et 13 par soudure, par exemple.The sleeve 6 is fixed to the bent regions 12c, 13c of the two tubes 12 and 13 by welding, for example.

    Le tambour 2 comporte un moyeu 20 constitué par deux flasques rectangulaires 21, 22 reliés par quatre arceaux en U 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d dont les extrémités libres, dirigées vers l'extérieur, sont fixées à deux cerceaux tubulaires 24, 25. Les flasques 21 et 22 sont montés tourillonnant sur la portion d'extrémités horizontale 3 du bras de support 4. Une poignée d'enroulement 26 est fixée sur l'aile de l'arceau 23b éloignée de la portion médiane 4a du bras de support 4. La référence 27 désigne un crochet destiné à maintenir le tuyau avant sa connexion sur le passage d'eau rigide 3 du tambour 2, pour maintenir le rayon de la boucle du tuyau et pour éviter l'écrasement ou la pliure du tuyau.The drum 2 has a hub 20 constituted by two flanges rectangular 21, 22 connected by four U-shaped arches 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d whose free ends, directed outwards, are fixed to two tubular hoops 24, 25. The flanges 21 and 22 are mounted swiveling on the horizontal end portion 3 of the arm of support 4. A winding handle 26 is fixed on the arch wing 23b remote from the middle portion 4a of the support arm 4. The reference 27 designates a hook intended to hold the pipe before its connection on the rigid water passage 3 of the drum 2, to maintain the radius of the pipe loop and to avoid crushing or kinking the pipe.

    Une canne de préhension 30, munie d'une poignée 31, est fixée au bras de support 4. Cette canne de préhension s'étend au-dessus de la portion médiane 4a du bras de support 4 dans le plan de symétrie axial du tambour 2.A gripping rod 30, provided with a handle 31, is fixed to the support arm 4. This gripping rod extends above the middle portion 4a of the support arm 4 in the plane of axial symmetry drum 2.

    La référence 33 représente un volant de blocage qui permet de bloquer le bras de support 4 par rapport au manchon 6, notamment dans la position de transport du dévidoir 1, position dans laquelle la canne de préhension 30 est disposée vers l'extérieur au-dessus des roues 9 et 10, ainsi que cela est représenté sur les figures 1 et 3. The reference 33 represents a locking flywheel which allows block the support arm 4 relative to the sleeve 6, in particular in the transport position of the reel 1, position in which the grip 30 is arranged outwards above the wheels 9 and 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 3.

    Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, les extrémités 40 et 41 du bras de support 4 sont filetées et sont équipées de raccords tournants 42, 43 droits ou coudées, connus en soi, qui permettent respectivement le raccord de l'arrivée d'eau et le raccord d'une extrémité de tuyau enroulée sur le tambour 2.As seen in Figure 1, the ends 40 and 41 of the arm support 4 are threaded and are fitted with swivel fittings 42, 43 straight or angled, known per se, which respectively allow the water inlet fitting and the fitting of one end of coiled pipe on the drum 2.

    De préférence, l'axe 7 de pivotement du bras de support 4 sur le manchon 6 coupe l'axe de rotation 44 du tambour 2 dans le plan médian du tambour 8.Preferably, the pivot axis 7 of the support arm 4 on the sleeve 6 intersects the axis of rotation 44 of the drum 2 in the median plane drum 8.

    Lorsque le volant de blocage 33 est desserré, l'ensemble supérieur du dévidoir 1, constitué par le bras de support 4, le tambour 2 et la canne de préhension 30 peut pivoter librement autour de l'axe vertical 7. Le tambour 2 s'oriente ainsi en fonction de la direction de la force exercée sur le tuyau par l'utilisateur. Le cas échéant, cet ensemble supérieur peut être immobilisé dans une position définie en serrant le volant de blocage 33. Une empreinte peut être prévue dans le bras de support 4, en regard du volant de blocage 33, dans une position prédéterminée, dans laquelle la canne de préhension 30 s'étend vers l'extérieur et perpendiculairement à l'essieu 11 des roues 9 et 10, cette position assurant l'équilibre de la charge et permettant le déplacement du chariot dévidoir sans effort.When the locking wheel 33 is released, the assembly upper of the reel 1, constituted by the support arm 4, the drum 2 and the gripping rod 30 can pivot freely around the axis vertical 7. The drum 2 is thus oriented as a function of the direction of the force exerted on the hose by the user. If applicable, this set upper can be immobilized in a defined position by tightening the locking flywheel 33. An imprint may be provided in the arm of support 4, opposite the locking flywheel 33, in a position predetermined, in which the gripping rod 30 extends towards outside and perpendicular to the axle 11 of the wheels 9 and 10, this position ensuring load balance and allowing movement of the wire feed cart effortlessly.

    Le dévidoir 1 décrit ci-dessus permet de dérouler une partie ou la totalité du tuyau sous pression, ouvert ou fermé, sans toucher au dévidoir, sans le faire basculer et sans risque de coincer le tuyau dans le tambour 2 pendant l'utilisation, lorsque le volant de blocage 33 est desserré.The reel 1 described above allows to unwind a part or the entire pressure pipe, open or closed, without touching the hose reel, without tilting it and without risk of jamming the hose in the drum 2 during use, when the locking flywheel 33 is loose.
