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 device joint 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, via a connecting ring 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 chaíne. 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 is in the fact that the ring is in a known manner closed on itself and articulates freely and in all directions in the eyelet in the manner of two links of a chain. It follows a rapid deterioration of contact surfaces of the ring and the eyelet leading non only to the aesthetic degradation of the whole but which can sometimes going, in case of intense use, to the breaking 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 badly tolerated by manufacturers of this type of item and all the more so when it these are luxury items such as high-end handbags for example, who must have a certain outfit in the time for customer satisfaction and at the same time for image brand of the creator and manufacturer.

La présente invention a pour but d'atteindre cet objectif en apportant une solution au problème précité.The object of the present invention is 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 an element grip such as handle or handle and a handbag or similar baggage, via a ring connecting said wall of the bag, eyelet in which it freely rotates, characterized in that the connecting ring is initially opened and has a subsequent closing member which is constituted by a removable hinge pin capable of being previously inserted freely in a corresponding sheath, fixedly attached to inside the eyelet, seen from a cooperation of its ends free with the corresponding ones from the open ring, after that it has been placed in a jumper on the edge of the wall of the bag eyelet look.

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 axis articulation, articulates freely in one direction only transverse and no longer in all directions as before known, which limits the aforementioned deterioration. These having no in any case only inside the sheath, so no visible and ineffective on the external aspect of the eyelet and the ring. This is likely to keep the bag impeccable appearance 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 part wear in itself and can be easily replaced if necessary without no 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 features which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or in any combination possible techniques.

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 appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of an articulation 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 through 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 loop 2 to the eyelet 4 in which it articulates 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 device which is constituted by a removable hinge pin 6 able to be previously inserted freely in a corresponding sheath 7, fixedly fixed inside the eyelet 4, for a cooperation of its free ends 6a, 6b with those 5a, 5b of the open ring 5, after it has been placed in a jumper on the edge of the wall 1 of the bag opposite 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 axis 6 of articulation and closing of the ring 5 on itself is a contiguous pump axis by a tubular body 6c, of length L substantially corresponding to that L 'of the opening 0 of the ring 5 and to inside which body is housed a compression spring 8 acting in push F on two opposite studs 6a, 6b. These are arranged at each of its ends, and slide freely from on either side of the hollow body 6c, so that they can retract inside of it 6c to allow insertion of the hinge pin 6 in the opening 0 of the open ring 5 after passing through the sheath 7 secured to an internal part 4a eyelet 4, to anchor in two housing correspondents 9 and 10 formed at the ends 5a, 5b of said ring open 5, returning to their original 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 sheath 7 this is a section of tube cylindrical with an internal diameter greater than the diameter external of the hinge pin 6 which it 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 Figure 4 the sleeve 7 is attached to the inside of the eyelet 4 of eccentrically, in an upper area of it.

    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 sheath 7 is attached to the eyelet 4 by the intermedium of welding points 11. Of course all other means such as bonding, or simultaneous obtaining of the sheath 7 with eyelet 4 by molding, could be considered.

    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 exemplary embodiment the eyelet 4 is consisting of two parallel flanges 4b, 4c enclosing the wall 1 of the bag on either side of its faces 1a, 1b, and interconnected by a hollow cylindrical central hub 4d whose outer periphery 4e is intended to pass through a hole in the wall 1 of the bag and whose internal periphery 4f corresponds to that 4a of the eyelet 4 on which is fixed the sheath.

    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.
