Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'articulation destiné à assurer la liaison entre au moins une extrémité d'un élément de préhension tel que poignée ou anse et un sac à main ou bagage similaire, par l'intermédiaire d'un anneau reliant ladite paroi du sac, oeillet dans lequel il s'articule librement en rotation.The present invention relates to a hinge device intended to ensure the connection between at least one end of a gripping element such as handle or handle and a handbag or similar baggage, by means of a ring connecting said wall of the bag, eyelet in which it articulates freely in rotation.

L'inconvénient majeur de ce type de dispositif réside dans le fait que l'anneau est de façon connue fermé sur lui-même et s'articule librement et en tous sens dans l'oeillet à la manière de deux maillons d'une chaîne. Il s'en suit une détérioration rapide des surfaces de contact de l'anneau et de l'oeillet conduisant non seulement à la dégradation esthétique de l'ensemble mais pouvant aller parfois, en cas d'utilisation intense, jusqu'à la rupture de l'anneau par usure.The major drawback of this type of device lies in the fact that the ring is in a known manner closed on itself and is articulated freely and in all directions in the eyelet in the manner of two links of a chain. It follows a rapid deterioration of the contact surfaces of the ring and the eyelet leading not only to the aesthetic degradation of the assembly but which can sometimes go, in the event of intense use, to the rupture of the ring by wear.

Un tel inconvénient est bien entendu mal toléré par les fabricants de ce type d'articles et à plus forte raison lorsqu'il s'agit d'articles de luxes tels que les sacs à main haut de gamme par exemple, qui se doivent d'avoir une certaine tenue dans le temps pour la satisfaction du client et en même temps pour l'image de marque du créateur et fabricant.Such a drawback is of course ill tolerated by the manufacturers of this type of item and all the more so when it comes to luxury items such as high-end handbags for example, which must be have a certain outfit over time for customer satisfaction and at the same time for the brand image of the creator and manufacturer.

La présente invention a pour but d'atteindre cet objectif en apportant une solution au problème précité.The present invention aims to achieve this objective by providing a solution to the above problem.

A cet effet elle concerne un dispositif d'articulation destiné à assurer la liaison entre au moins une extrémité d'un élément de préhension tel que poignée ou anse et un sac à main ou bagage similaire, par l'intermédiaire d'un anneau reliant ladite paroi du sac, oeillet dans lequel il s'articule librement en rotation, caractérisé en ce que l'anneau de liaison est initialement ouvert et dispose d'un organe de fermeture ultérieure qui est constitué par un axe d'articulation amovible apte à être préalablement inserré librement dans un fourreau correspondant, rapporté fixement à l'intérieur de l'oeillet, en vu d'une coopération de ses extrémités libres avec celles correspondantes de l'anneau ouvert, après que celui-ci ait été placé en cavalier sur le rebord de la paroi du sac en regard de l'oeillet.To this end, it relates to an articulation device intended to ensure the connection between at least one end of a gripping element such as handle or handle and a handbag or similar baggage, by means of a ring connecting said wall of the bag, eyelet in which it articulates freely in rotation, characterized in that the connecting ring is initially open and has a subsequent closing member which is constituted by a removable hinge pin capable of being previously freely inserted into a corresponding sleeve, fixedly attached to the inside of the eyelet, in view of the cooperation of its free ends with those corresponding to the open ring, after the latter has been placed in a jumper on the edge of the wall of the bag opposite the eyelet.

De cette manière on comprend aisément que l'axe d'articulation, s'articule librement dans un sens uniquement transversal et non plus dans tous les sens comme précédemment connu, ce qui limite les détériorations précitées. Celles-ci n'ayant lieu en tout état de cause qu'à l'intérieur du fourreau, donc non visible et inéfficace sur l'aspect externe de l'oeillet et de l'anneau. Ceci est de nature à conserver au sac un aspect irréprochable dans le temps.In this way it is easily understood that the articulation axis is articulated freely in a direction only transverse and no longer in all directions as previously known, which limits the aforementioned deteriorations. These taking place in any event only inside the sheath, therefore not visible and ineffective on the external appearance of the eyelet and the ring. This is likely to keep the bag impeccable in time.

De plus l'axe d'articulation amovible constitue une pièce d'usure en soi et pourra être aisément remplacé si besoin sans aucune intervention sur les autres élements.In addition, the removable hinge pin constitutes a wear part in itself and can be easily replaced if necessary without any intervention on the other elements.

L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront-être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the following description, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut-etre réalisée, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un dispositif d'articulation en place sur un bagage à main selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue en éclatée en coupe transversale du dispositif d'articulation selon la figure 1, constituant un synoptique de montage sur le sac.
  • La figure 3 représente une vue de face d'une partie du sac selon la figure 2 avant montage du dispositif d'articulation.
  • La figure 4 représente une vue en coupe transversale d'un dispositif d'articulation selon la figure 2, après montage sur le sac.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be produced, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a hinge device in place on a hand luggage according to the invention.
  • 2 shows an exploded view in cross section of the hinge device according to Figure 1, constituting a block diagram of mounting on the bag.
  • Figure 3 shows a front view of part of the bag according to Figure 2 before mounting the articulation device.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a hinge device according to Figure 2, after mounting on the bag.

Le sac à main partiellement représenté sur les figures comprend au moins une paroi 1 sur laquelle est destinée être fixé un élément de préhension en l'occurrence une anse 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'articulation 3 globalement désigné apte à coopérer avec un oeillet 4 rapporté sur la paroi 1 du sac.The handbag partially shown in the figures comprises at least one wall 1 on which is intended to be fixed a gripping element in this case a handle 2 by means of an articulation device 3 generally designated able to cooperate with an eyelet 4 attached to the wall 1 of the bag.

Le dispositif d'articulation 3 comporte un anneau 5 reliant l'extrémité libre de l'anse 2 à l'oeillet 4 dans lequel il s'articule librement.The articulation device 3 comprises a ring 5 connecting the free end of the handle 2 to the eyelet 4 in which it is articulated freely.

Selon l'invention l'anneau de liaison 5 est initialement ouvert 0 et dispose d'un organe de fermeture ultérieure qui est constitué par un axe d'articulation amovible 6 apte à être préalablement inseré librement dans un fourreau correspondant 7, rapporté fixement à l'intérieur de l'oeillet 4, en vue d'une coopération de ses extrémités libres 6a, 6b avec celles correspondantes 5a, 5b de l'anneau ouvert 5, après que celui-ci ait été placé en cavalier sur le rebord de la paroi 1 du sac en regard de l'oeillet 4.According to the invention the connecting ring 5 is initially open 0 and has a subsequent closing member which is constituted by a removable hinge pin 6 able to be previously inserted freely in a corresponding sleeve 7, fixedly attached to the inside the eyelet 4, with a view to cooperation of its free ends 6a, 6b with those corresponding 5a, 5b of the open ring 5, after the latter has been placed in a jumper on the edge of the wall 1 of the bag next to the eyelet 4.

Préférentiellement l'axe 6 d'articulation et de fermeture de l'anneau 5 sur lui-même est un axe à pompes contitué par un corps tubulaire 6c, de longueur L sensiblement correspondante à celle L' de l'ouverture 0 de l'anneau 5 et à l'intérieur duquel corps est logé un ressort à compression 8 agissant en poussée F sur deux goujons opposés 6a, 6b. Ceux-ci sont disposés à chacune de ses extémités, et coulissent librement de part et d'autre du corps creux 6c, de manière à ce qu'ils puissent s'escamoter à l'intérieur de celui-ci 6c pour permettre l'insertion de l'axe d'articulation 6 dans l'ouverture 0 de l'anneau ouvert 5 après avoir traversé le fourreau 7 solidaire d'une partie interne 4a de l'oeillet 4, pour venir s'ancrer dans deux logements correspondants 9 et 10 ménagés aux extrémités 5a, 5b dudit anneau ouvert 5, en reprenant leur position initiale.Preferably the axis 6 of articulation and closure of the ring 5 on itself is a pump axis formed by a tubular body 6c, of length L substantially corresponding to that L 'of the opening 0 of the ring 5 and inside which body is housed a compression spring 8 acting in thrust F on two opposite studs 6a, 6b. These are arranged at each of its ends, and slide freely on either side of the hollow body 6c, so that they can retract inside the latter 6c to allow insertion of the hinge pin 6 in the opening 0 of the open ring 5 after having passed through the sheath 7 secured to an internal part 4a of the eyelet 4, to come to anchor in two corresponding housings 9 and 10 formed at the ends 5a, 5b of said open ring 5, returning to their initial position.

De manière à faciliter la rotation de l'axe 6 sur lui-même à l'intérieur du fourreau 7 celui-ci est un tronçon de tube cylindrique dont le diamètre interne est supérieur au diamètre externe de l'axe d'articulation 6 qu'il reçoit.In order to facilitate the rotation of the axis 6 on itself inside the sleeve 7 this is a section of cylindrical tube whose internal diameter is greater than the external diameter of the articulation axis 6 that he receives.

Comme le montrent les figures et plus particulièrement la figure 4 le fourreau 7 est rapporté à l'intérieur de l'oeillet 4 de manière excentrée, dans une zone supérieure de celui-ci.As shown in the figures and more particularly in Figure 4 the sleeve 7 is attached to the inside of the eyelet 4 eccentrically, in an upper zone thereof.

Le fourreau 7 est rapporté dans l'oeillet 4 par l'intermédairie de points de soudure 11. Bien entendu tous autres moyens tels que collage, ou obtention simultanée du fourreau 7 avec l'oeillet 4 par moulage, pourraient être envisagés.The sleeve 7 is attached to the eyelet 4 by the intermediary of welding points 11. Of course, any other means such as bonding, or simultaneous obtaining of the sleeve 7 with the eyelet 4 by molding, could be envisaged.

Selon le présent exemple de réalisation l'oeillet 4 est constitué par deux flasques parallèles 4b, 4c enserrant la paroi 1 du sac de part et d'autre de ses faces 1a, 1b, et reliés entre eux par un moyeu central cylindrique creux 4d dont la périphérie externe 4e est destinée à traverser un trou pratiqué dans la paroi 1 du sac et dont la périphérie interne 4f correspond à celle 4a de l'oeillet 4 sur laquelle est fixé le fourreau.According to the present embodiment, the eyelet 4 is constituted by two parallel flanges 4b, 4c enclosing the wall 1 of the bag on either side of its faces 1a, 1b, and connected together by a hollow cylindrical central hub 4d of which the outer periphery 4e is intended to pass through a hole made in the wall 1 of the bag and whose internal periphery 4f corresponds to that 4a of the eyelet 4 on which the sheath is fixed.

Enfin l'épaisseur totale L'' de l'oeillet 4, la longueur L''' du fourreau 7 qui y est logé, la longueur L de l'axe d'articulation 6 et la longueur L' de l'ouverture 0 de l'anneau 5 sont sensiblement indentiques au jeu nécessaire près.Finally the total thickness L '' of the eyelet 4, the length L '' 'of the sleeve 7 which is housed there, the length L of the hinge pin 6 and the length L' of the opening 0 of the ring 5 are substantially identical to the required clearance.
