Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à un dispositif pour le mouillage des vitres, et d'une manière plus générale de toute autre surface, du genre comportant un support, généralement cylindrique, une enveloppe hydrophile, recouvrant partiellement ou totalement ledit support, et une poignée de préhension, généralement cylindrique et perpendiculaire audit support en son milieu.The invention relates to a device for wetting windows, and more generally any other surface, of the type comprising a support, generally cylindrical, a hydrophilic envelope, partially or totally covering said support, and a handle of grip, generally cylindrical and perpendicular to said support in the middle.
Les dispositifs connus du genre en question font tous intervenir un sceau, contenant le liquide de mouillage, dans lequel ils sont trempés puis essorés en général à la main.
Un tel ensemble "dispositif de mouillage - sceau" présente les inconvénients suivants :
- il faut constamment déplacer le sceau et le poser chaque fois que l'on veut déplacer l'échelle;
- il faut redescendre de l'échelle pour rincer et remouiller le dispositif;
- l'eau se salit au fur et à mesure que l'on retrempe le dispositif et il faut la renouveler souvent;
- il faut se baisser à chaque mouillage ou rinçage;
- le sceau est malheureusement très souvent renversée.
Such a "wetting device - seal" assembly has the following drawbacks:
- you must constantly move the seal and place it every time you want to move the ladder;
- you have to go down the ladder to rinse and rewet the device;
- the water gets dirty as the device is soaked and must be renewed often;
- you have to bend down at each wetting or rinsing;
- the seal is unfortunately very often overturned.
L'invention vise donc à réaliser un dispositif qui supprime l'intégralité desdits inconvénients.
Elle concerne à cet effet un dispositif qui se caractérise essentiellement par la suppression pure et simple du sceau et son remplacement par un réservoir, contenant le liquide de mouillage, portable, fixé au corps de l'utilisateur par un moyen approprié, apte à alimenter, au moyen d'une pompe à main intégrée dans la poignée de préhension du dispositif de mouillage, par l'intermèdiaire d'une canalisation comportant une pluralité de trous, l'enveloppe hydrophile avec une eau toujours propre et avec seulement la quantité de liquide nécessaire au mouillage évitant ainsi tout essorage.The invention therefore aims to provide a device which eliminates all of said drawbacks.
To this end, it relates to a device which is essentially characterized by the outright removal of the seal and its replacement by a reservoir, containing the wetting liquid, portable, fixed to the body of the user by an appropriate means, capable of supplying, by means of a hand pump integrated in the grip handle of the dampening device, through a pipe comprising a plurality of holes, the hydrophilic envelope with always clean water and with only the quantity of liquid necessary at anchor thus avoiding any wringing.
Les caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention vont apparaître plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'au moins un mode préféré de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple non-limitatif et représenté aux dessins annexés.
Sur ces dessins :
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale de l'ensemble "dispositif de mouillage - réservoir";
- la figure 2 est une vue partielle d'une variante du conduit d'alimentation, en liquide de mouillage, de l'enveloppe hydrophile.
In these drawings:
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the assembly "wetting device - tank";
- FIG. 2 is a partial view of a variant of the supply duct, in wetting liquid, the hydrophilic envelope.
Selon les figures, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte essentiellement un support (1), généralement cylindrique, une enveloppe hydrophile (2), recouvrant partiellement ou totalement ledit support, et une poignée de préhension (3), généralement cylindrique et perpendiculaire audit support en son milieu.
Le support (1) comporte un conduit (4,5) pourvu d'une pluralité de trous (6,7) aptes à distribuer le liquide, généralement un mélange d'eau et de détergent, le long de l'enveloppe hydrophile (2).
La poignée (3) comporte un moyen de pompage (8) relié, à une extrémité, de manière permanente, au conduit (4,5), et, à l'autre extrémité, uniquement pendant la phase de pompage, à un réservoir portable (9), contenant le liquide de mouillage, fixé au corps de l'utilisateur.
Selon une première réalisation de l'invention (figure 1) :
- le conduit, pour la distribution de l'eau de mouillage le long de l'enveloppe hydrophile, est réalisé à partir du support (1), tubulaire, qui comporte, à l'intérieur, un matériau de garnissage (10) définissant le conduit (4) proprement dit et un canal d'entrée (11) situé en son milieu;
- les trous (6) sont pratiqués directement dans la paroi dudit support tubulaire (1).
- réalisé à partir d'un tuyau (5), pourvu des trous (7), fixé à l'extérieur du support (1);
- alimenté par un canal,ou conduit, d'entrée (12) situé en son milieu. Selon une réalisation préférée de l'invention :
- le moyen de pompage (8) est du type à poire à paroi caoutchouteuse;
- la poignée (3) comporte, outre le moyen de pompage (8), un conduit tubulaire central (13), pourvu de trous (14) pour le passage du liquide de mouillage, relié, d'un côté, par l'intermèdiaire d'un manchon (15), au support (1),et, de l'autre côté, à un embout (16) destiné à assurer la liaison temporaire de ladite poignée (3) au réservoir portable (9).
Le réservoir (9) comporte un embout (19) apte à recevoir, par accouplement, l'embout (16) de la poignée (3) du support (1).
Les embouts (16) et (19) peuvent être du type mâle/femelle à emboitement. L'embout (19) est associé à un conduit (20) qui peut comporter un clapet anti-retour (21) et qui est relié à un tuyau souple (22).
Le réservoir (9) comporte des moyens (23), par exemple du type passants,pour sa fixation à la ceinture de l'utilisateur.
Le réservoir comporte un couvercle (24) emboité ou vissé.
Dans le cas de l'utilisation du clapet (21), une entrée d'air (25) est pratiquée sur le réservoir, par exemple sur le couvercle.
Le support (1) peut être obtenu par moulage ou par assemblage d'éléments tubulaires standards. Il peut comporter intérieurement le matériau de garnissage (10) ou peut être entiérement moulé avec un canal (4) central ou périphérique.
Le moyen de pompage (8) crée une dépression qui aspire le liquide du réservoir et une compression qui permet de le transmettre au conduit de distribution(4). L'élément tubulaire (13) sert également de support rigide à la poire (8).According to the figures, the device according to the invention essentially comprises a support (1), generally cylindrical, a hydrophilic envelope (2), partially or totally covering said support, and a grip handle (3), generally cylindrical and perpendicular to said support. in the middle.
The support (1) comprises a conduit (4,5) provided with a plurality of holes (6,7) able to distribute the liquid, generally a mixture of water and detergent, along the hydrophilic envelope (2 ).
The handle (3) comprises a pumping means (8) connected, at one end, permanently, to the conduit (4,5), and, at the other end, only during the pumping phase, to a portable tank (9), containing the wetting liquid, fixed to the body of the user.
According to a first embodiment of the invention (FIG. 1):
- the conduit, for the distribution of the wetting water along the hydrophilic envelope, is produced from the support (1), tubular, which comprises, inside, a packing material (10) defining the conduit (4) proper and an inlet channel (11) located in the middle;
- the holes (6) are made directly in the wall of said tubular support (1).
- made from a pipe (5), provided with holes (7), fixed to the outside of the support (1);
- supplied by an inlet channel (or conduit) (12) located in the middle. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention:
- the pumping means (8) is of the pear type with a rubber wall;
- the handle (3) comprises, in addition to the pumping means (8), a central tubular conduit (13), provided with holes (14) for the passage of the wetting liquid, connected, on one side, by the intermediary of 'a sleeve (15), to the support (1), and, on the other side, to a nozzle (16) intended to ensure the temporary connection of said handle (3) to the portable tank (9).
The reservoir (9) comprises an end piece (19) capable of receiving, by coupling, the end piece (16) of the handle (3) of the support (1).
The ends (16) and (19) can be of the male / female type with interlocking. The end piece (19) is associated with a conduit (20) which may include a non-return valve (21) and which is connected to a flexible pipe (22).
The reservoir (9) comprises means (23), for example of the passers-by type, for fixing it to the user's belt.
The reservoir has a cover (24) fitted or screwed.
In the case of the use of the valve (21), an air inlet (25) is made on the tank, for example on the cover.
The support (1) can be obtained by molding or by assembling standard tubular elements. It may contain the lining material (10) internally or may be entirely molded with a central or peripheral channel (4).
The pumping means (8) creates a depression which sucks the liquid from the reservoir and a compression which makes it possible to transmit it to the distribution conduit (4). The tubular element (13) also serves as a rigid support for the bulb (8).
