Description

L'invention concerne les postes d'habillage de canapés ou équivalents.The invention relates to dressing stations for sofas or equivalent.

L'habillage des châssis de canapé est réalisé actuellement en disposant le châssis sur une table, et le personnel manipule ce châssis au fur et à mesure de l'avancement de son habillage, sans l'aide de moyens de levage.The covering of the sofa frames is currently carried out in placing the chassis on a table, and staff manipulate the chassis as the dressing progresses, without the help of resources lifting.

L'habillage d'un canapé est donc une opération pénible, du fait notamment des manipulations demandées et du poids des objets à habiller.Dressing a sofa is therefore a painful operation, because in particular the manipulations requested and the weight of the objects to be dress.

Il existe ainsi un besoin de pourvoir les postes d'habillage de canapés ou équivalents d'un dispositif de support et de manutention du châssis au cours de son habillage.There is thus a need to fill the dressing stations of sofas or equivalent of a support and handling device for the chassis during its dressing.

L'invention concerne donc un dispositif de support et de manutention d'un objet tel qu'un châssis de canapé, au cours de son habillage, cet objet comportant au moins deux tasseaux parallèles.The invention therefore relates to a support and handling of an object such as a sofa frame, during its covering, this object comprising at least two parallel battens.

Selon l'invention ce dispositif est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte :

  • un montant vertical reposant sur le sol,
  • une paire de bras parallèles montés pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal à l'extrémité supérieure du montant,
  • un berceau monté pivotant, autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe de pivotement des bras, à l'extrémité libre desdits bras,
  • des moyens de préhension des deux tasseaux de l'objet à habiller, prévus sur ledit berceau, et
  • des moyens de commande de la rotation des bras et de la rotation du berceau autour de leurs axes de pivotement.
    • According to the invention, this device is characterized in that it comprises:
  • a vertical upright resting on the ground,
  • a pair of parallel arms mounted pivoting about a horizontal axis at the upper end of the upright,
  • a cradle mounted to pivot, about an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the arms, at the free end of said arms,
  • means for gripping the two battens of the object to be dressed, provided on said cradle, and
  • means for controlling the rotation of the arms and the rotation of the cradle about their pivot axes.

    • Grâce à cette structure, lorsque les moyens de préhension agrippent les tasseaux de l'objet à habiller, il est possible de positionner l'objet à habiller, dans la position angulaire souhaitée et à la hauteur voulue au moins d'un côté et au-dessus du montant par actionnement des moyens de commande.Thanks to this structure, when the gripping means grip the cleats of the object to be dressed, it is possible to position the object to be dressed, in the desired angular position and at the height desired at least on one side and above the upright by actuation control means.

    Les moyens de préhension agrippent les tasseaux par le dessous de l'objet à habiller.The gripping means grip the cleats from below of the object to be dressed.

    Afin de pouvoir s'adapter à plusieurs types d'objets à habiller, les moyens de préhension sont avantageusement réglables pour s'adapter aux divers écartements de tasseaux. In order to be able to adapt to several types of objects to be dressed, the gripping means are advantageously adjustable to adapt to the various spacings of cleats.

    Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de préhension comportent :

  • un premier jeu de pinces fixes montées sur le berceau et alignées dans une direction parallèle aux axes de pivotement, lesdites pinces fixes étant susceptibles de coopérer avec l'un desdits tasseaux, et
  • un deuxième jeu de pinces mobiles, portées par les extrémités de tiges de vérins synchronisés dont les cylindres sont montés sur le berceau, lesdites pinces mobiles étant susceptibles de coopérer avec l'autre tasseau,
  • lesdites pinces fixes et lesdites pinces mobiles comportant chacune deux mâchoires sensiblement parallèles entre elles et s'étendant perpendiculairement à une paroi formant une butée de tasseau, les mâchoires de pinces fixes et les mâchoires des pinces mobiles s'étendant respectivement dans des directions sensiblement opposées.
    • According to an advantageous embodiment, the gripping means comprise:
  • a first set of fixed clamps mounted on the cradle and aligned in a direction parallel to the pivot axes, said fixed clamps being capable of cooperating with one of said cleats, and
  • a second set of movable pliers, carried by the ends of rods of synchronized jacks, the cylinders of which are mounted on the cradle, said movable pliers being capable of cooperating with the other cleat,
  • said fixed clamps and said movable clamps each comprising two jaws substantially parallel to each other and extending perpendicularly to a wall forming a cleat stop, the jaws of fixed clamps and the jaws of movable clamps extending respectively in substantially opposite directions.

    • Avantageusement, l'écartement des deux mâchoires des pinces est également réglable pour s'adapter aux différentes dimensions de tasseaux.Advantageously, the spacing of the two jaws of the pliers is also adjustable to adapt to the different dimensions of cleats.

    De préférence, chaque pince comporte une barre dont une face constitue la butée de tasseau, une première languette fixée sur la barre et formant une mâchoire fixe, un coulisseau monté mobile sur ladite barre et présentant une deuxième languette formant la mâchoire mobile, et des moyens de blocage et déblocage du coulisseau sur la barre.Preferably, each clamp has a bar, one face of which constitutes the cleat stop, a first tab fixed on the bar and forming a fixed jaw, a slide mounted mobile on said bar and having a second tongue forming the movable jaw, and blocking and unblocking means of the slide on the bar.

    De manière avantageuse, le montant vertical est réglable en hauteur, et le réglage en hauteur du montant vertical est réalisé par les moyens de commande.Advantageously, the vertical upright is adjustable in height, and the vertical upright is adjusted by the control means.

    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 dispositif conforme à l'invention sur lequel est monté un châssis de canapé ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus du dispositif de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 montre à plus grande échelle et en détail une pince de préhension.
  • Les figures 4 à 8 montrent diverses positions d'un châssis supporté par le dispositif conforme à l'invention.
    • 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 device according to the invention on which is mounted a sofa frame;
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the device of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 shows on a larger scale and in detail a gripper.
  • Figures 4 to 8 show various positions of a chassis supported by the device according to the invention.

    • Le dessin montre un dispositif 1 pour la manutention d'un châssis de canapé 2 au cours de l'habillage de ce dernier. Ce châssis 2 comporte dans sa partie inférieure deux tasseaux longitudinaux et parallèles référencés respectivement 3 et 4.The drawing shows a device 1 for handling a chassis of sofa 2 during the dressing of the latter. This chassis 2 comprises in its lower part two longitudinal and parallel battens referenced respectively 3 and 4.

    Le dispositif 1 comporte notamment un montant 5 télescopique, de hauteur réglable, qui comporte une embase 6 pour sa fixation sur le sol 7. A l'extrémité supérieure du montant 5 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal 8 un arbre 9, aux extrémités libres duquel sont fixés deux bras parallèles 10 et 11. L'arbre 9 est entraíné en rotation par un moteur, hydraulique, pneumatique ou électrique commandé par des moyens de commande connus en soi et non représentés sur le dessin, ce moteur logeant par exemple à l'intérieur du montant 5. L'extension du montant 5 peut être effectuée sous la commande des mêmes moyens de commande.The device 1 includes in particular a telescopic upright 5, of adjustable height, which includes a base 6 for its fixing on the floor 7. At the upper end of the upright 5 is pivotally mounted around a horizontal axis 8 a shaft 9, at the free ends of which are fixed two parallel arms 10 and 11. The shaft 9 is rotated by a motor, hydraulic, pneumatic or electric controlled by control means known per se and not shown in the drawing, this motor accommodating for example inside the 5 upright. The extension of the amount 5 can be made under the order of the same means of ordered.

    Aux extrémités libres des bras parallèles 10 et 11, est monté pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal 12 parallèle à l'axe de pivotement 8 des bras 10 et 11 un berceau 13.At the free ends of the parallel arms 10 and 11, is mounted pivoting about a horizontal axis 12 parallel to the pivot axis 8 arms 10 and 11 a cradle 13.

    Ce berceau 13 comporte essentiellement deux longerons 14, 15, disposés au-dessus des bras 10, 11 et reliés par une première traverse 16 parallèle aux axes de pivotement 8 et 12. Les longerons 14, 15 présentent sur leur face inférieure des oreilles 17 pour leur montage pivotant sur les extrémités libres des bras 10, 11. Des vérins de commande synchronisés 18 sont montés à l'intérieur des bras 10, 11, et les tiges 19 de ces vérins 18 sont articulées sur les oreilles 17 afin de permettre le pivotement du berceau 13 autour de l'axe 12 sous l'action des moyens de commande.This cradle 13 essentially comprises two longitudinal members 14, 15, arranged above the arms 10, 11 and connected by a first crosspiece 16 parallel to the pivot axes 8 and 12. The side members 14, 15 have ears 17 on their underside for mounting pivoting on the free ends of the arms 10, 11. Cylinders synchronized control 18 are mounted inside the arms 10, 11, and the rods 19 of these jacks 18 are articulated on the ears 17 in order to allow the cradle 13 to pivot about the axis 12 under the action control means.

    Les longerons 14 et 15 peuvent être avantageusement constitués par des cylindres de vérins synchronisés dont les tiges 20, 21 portent à leur extrémité une deuxième traverse 22 que l'on peut rapprocher ou éloigner à la demande de la première traverse 16.The side members 14 and 15 can advantageously be made up by synchronized cylinder cylinders, the rods 20, 21 of which their end a second crosspiece 22 which can be brought together or move away at the request of the first cross 16.

    La première traverse 16 porte deux barres parallèles 23, 24, inclinées dans le sens opposé aux tiges de vérins 20, 21, et qui comportent à leurs extrémités libres des pinces fixes 25 destinées à agripper le tasseau 3 du châssis 2.The first crosspiece 16 carries two parallel bars 23, 24, inclined in the opposite direction to the cylinder rods 20, 21, and which have at their free ends fixed clamps 25 intended for grab the cleat 3 of the chassis 2.

    De la même manière, la deuxième traverse 22 comporte également deux barres parallèles 26, 27 perpendiculaires au plan général du berceau 13 et qui comportent des pinces mobiles 28 destinées à agripper le tasseau 4 du châssis 2.Similarly, the second crosspiece 22 includes also two parallel bars 26, 27 perpendicular to the plane general of the cradle 13 and which have movable clamps 28 intended to grip the cleat 4 of the chassis 2.

    Chacune des pinces fixes 25 ou mobiles 28 comporte deux mâchoires superposées 29, 30 qui s'étendent perpendiculairement à partir d'une face des barres 23, 24, 26, 27, cette face formant une paroi de butée pour l'un des tasseaux 3, 4.Each of the fixed clamps 25 or mobile 28 has two superimposed jaws 29, 30 which extend perpendicular to from one face of the bars 23, 24, 26, 27, this face forming a wall stop for one of the cleats 3, 4.

    La mâchoire 29 est constituée par une plaquette fixée ou soudée sur la barre correspondante, tandis que la deuxième mâchoire 30 est formée par une languette solidaire d'un coulisseau 31, montée mobile sur la barre correspondante et susceptible d'être immobilisée sur cette dernière par des moyens de blocage/déblocage 32 du type vis-écrou par exemple.The jaw 29 is constituted by a fixed or welded plate on the corresponding bar, while the second jaw 30 is formed by a tongue integral with a slide 31, movable mounted on the corresponding bar and likely to be immobilized on this last by locking / unlocking means 32 of the screw-nut type by example.

    Les pinces fixes 25 et les pinces mobiles 28 sont disposées au-dessus du plan général du berceau 13, et les mâchoires 29, 30 des pinces fixes 25 sont dirigées vers un côté du châssis 2, tandis que les mâchoires 29, 30 des pinces mobiles sont dirigées vers l'autre côté du châssis 2.The fixed clamps 25 and the movable clamps 28 are arranged above of the general plan of the cradle 13, and the jaws 29, 30 of the clamps fixed 25 are directed to one side of the chassis 2, while the movable jaws 29, 30 of the grippers are directed towards the other side of the chassis 2.

    Grâce à cette disposition, les moyens de préhension des tasseaux 3 et 4 du châssis 2 peuvent être adaptés à plusieurs types de canapés. On règle l'écartement des mâchoires 29 et 30 en fonction de la hauteur des tasseaux 3 et 4, tandis qu'on règle la sortie des tiges de vérins 20, 21 en fonction de l'écartement des tasseaux 3 et 4.Thanks to this arrangement, the means for gripping the battens 3 and 4 of frame 2 can be adapted to several types of sofas. The spacing of the jaws 29 and 30 is adjusted according to the height cleats 3 and 4, while adjusting the output of the cylinder rods 20, 21 depending on the spacing of the brackets 3 and 4.

    Pour positionner un châssis 2 sur le berceau 13, on rétracte les tiges de vérins 20 et 21, puis on positionne le châssis 2 en regard du berceau 13, de telle manière que le tasseau 3 soit disposé entre les mâchoires 29, 30 des pinces fixes 25, ces mâchoires ayant été préalablement positionnées en fonction de l'épaisseur du tasseau 3. Ensuite on met en action les vérins des longerons 14 et 15. Les tiges 20 et 22 sortent de ces vérins jusqu'à ce que les mâchoires 29 et 30 des pinces mobiles 28 agrippent le tasseau 4 du châssis 2. Durant ce positionnement, le montant télescopique 5 est dans la position basse, les bras 10 et 11 sont positionnés près du sol 7 et le berceau 13 est à l'horizontal.To position a chassis 2 on the cradle 13, the cylinder rods 20 and 21, then the chassis 2 is positioned opposite the cradle 13, so that the cleat 3 is disposed between the jaws 29, 30 of the fixed clamps 25, these jaws having been previously positioned according to the thickness of the cleat 3. Then the cylinders of the side members 14 and 15 are actuated. The rods 20 and 22 come out of these cylinders until the jaws 29 and 30 of the movable clamps 28 grip the cleat 4 of the chassis 2. During this positioning, the telescopic upright 5 is in the low position, the arms 10 and 11 are positioned close to the ground 7 and the cradle 13 is at the horizontal.

    Les bras 10 et 11 peuvent pivoter autour de l'axe 8, d'un angle au moins égal à 90° et le berceau 13 peut pivoter autour de l'axe 12 d'un angle au moins égal à 120°. The arms 10 and 11 can pivot around the axis 8, from an angle to less than 90 ° and the cradle 13 can pivot around the axis 12 of a angle at least equal to 120 °.

    Une fois que le châssis 2 est fixé sur le berceau, il est possible de positionner le châssis dans une pluralité de positions en agissant sur le moyens de commande.Once the chassis 2 is fixed on the cradle, it is possible to position the chassis in a plurality of positions by acting on the control means.

    Le figures 4 à 7 montrent différentes positions du châssis 2 sur le berceau 13. La figure 4 montre la position basse du montant 5 et des bras 10, 11 utilisée pour le montage du châssis 2 sur le berceau 13. La figure 5 montre le dispositif 1 dans la position haute du montant 5. Sur la figure 6 les bras 10 et 11 sont relevés de 90°. Dans la position représentée sur la figure 7, les bras 10 et 11 sont dans une position intermédiaire, le montant 5 est dans la position haute et le berceau 13 est basculé vers l'extérieur dans la position maximum.Figures 4 to 7 show different positions of the chassis 2 on the cradle 13. Figure 4 shows the lower position of the upright 5 and the arm 10, 11 used for mounting the chassis 2 on the cradle 13. The Figure 5 shows the device 1 in the high position of the upright 5. On Figure 6 the arms 10 and 11 are raised by 90 °. In the position shown in Figure 7, the arms 10 and 11 are in a position intermediate, the upright 5 is in the high position and the cradle 13 is tilted out to the maximum position.

    Sur les figures 4 à 7, les tiges de vérins 20, 21 sont dans une position d'extension , du fait que les tasseaux 3 et 4 sont fortement écartés l'un de l'autre. Sur la figure 8 on a représenté un châssis 2 dans lequel les tasseaux 3 et 4 sont plus rapprochés, les tiges de vérin 20, 21 sont dans ce cas rétractées.In Figures 4 to 7, the cylinder rods 20, 21 are in a extension position, because the battens 3 and 4 are strongly separated from each other. In Figure 8 there is shown a chassis 2 in which the battens 3 and 4 are closer together, the actuator rods 20, 21 are in this case retracted.

    Les différents vérins du dispositif 1 selon l'invention peuvent être hydrauliques, pneumatiques ou du type vis-écrou actionnés par des moteurs électriques. Les moyens de commande peuvent être constitués par des butons poussoirs prévus dans un boítier porté par le montant 5, ou séparé du montant 5, ou prévus sur une télécommande dont est équipé l'opérateur.The different cylinders of the device 1 according to the invention can be hydraulic, pneumatic or screw-nut type actuated by electric motors. The control means can be constituted by push buttons provided in a case carried by the upright 5, or separate from the amount 5, or provided on a remote control which is equipped the operator.
