Description

Dispositif de lavage et/ou recurage a usage manuelWashing and / or scouring device for manual use
Ce dispositif comporte deux éléments dont le premier est un support et le second un tampon glissantThis device has two elements, the first of which is a support and the second of which is a sliding pad.
Le support fi 1 et 2 pi 1/2 se compose de deux parties longitudinales svmetπques et de préférence théoriquement identiques (A) et (B) pouvant être disposées en prolongement l'une de l'autre dans le sens de leurs longueurs par le moven d'une charnière médiane de largeur (n), axe de symétrie du dispositif, située le long d'une ligne de pli (p) Chaque partie longitudinale se compose d'un premier élément parallelepipedique plat (C) pour (A), (et son équivalent (D) pour (B)), angule en angle fixe obtus (eu, avec un second élément également parallelepipedique plat (C) pour (A), (et son équivalent (D pour (B)), et de longueur différente ou égale a celle du premier élément, de telle façon que dans le sens de leurs longueurs respectives longueur de (CVlongueur de (C) = longueur de (D) - longueur de (D'), et enfin d'un troisième élément, un profil longitudinal dans le prolongement du précèdent, (Ml) (en prolongement de (C)), (et son équivalent (M2) (en prolongement de (D')), preférentiellement de section globalement semi-circulaire ou assimilée, de façon que par rotation de 180° sur la charnière médiane définie par la ligne de pli (p), (Ml ) et (M2) fig 3 et 3bιs pi 1,2 puissent s'assembler et se verrouiller longitudmalement par le moyen d'un rail longitudinal médian i r) dépassant de (M2) pour pénétrer en pression manuelle dans une cavité longitudinale médiane ( c) située en regard de (r) dans le volume de (Ml), de longueur supérieure par léger excès a la longueur de (r) et dont la profondeur a une valeur légèrement supérieure a la hauteur de (r). les sections de (r) et de (c) étant trapézoïdales isocèles de mêmes pentes, la section mâle de (r) étant légèrement plus forte que la section femelle de (c) pour un bon verrouillage par légère pression (M l ) et (M2) une fois solidarises constituent le manche du dispositif Pour les désolidariser quand cela deviendra nécessaire, il conviendra de les écarter par l'application de deux légères forces radiales de sens oppose, sur des prises correspondantes (k l ) et (k2) preférentiellement disposées en concavités symétriques aux deux bouts respectifs de (Ml ) et (M2) fig 3 pi 1/2 La description qui précède ne concerne que le dispositif dans sa version présentant (A) et (B) comme théoriquement identiques, étant bien évident que d'autres configurations utiles de (A) et (B) existent avec des valeurs respectives différentes pour (C), (C), (D), (Dr) pour autant que (α) et (β) restent dans des valeurs operatives Pour (Ml ) et (M2), quelles que soient les configurations respectives de (C), (C), (D), (D'), (α) et (β). ils conservent les spécificités énoncées dans la description Le second élément du dispositif est un tampon glissant (t) fig.1 , 2 et 3 pi.1/2 et fig 4 pl.2/2 compose preférentiellement de deux flans de longueurs et largeurs identiques, d'épaisseurs identiques aussi en général (mais non obligatoirement si les deux flans ne sont pas réalises dans des matériaux identiques ou encore si pour des besoins particuliers, les matériaux identiques sont d'épaisseurs différentes)The support fi 1 and 2 1/2 feet consists of two longitudinal and preferably theoretically identical longitudinal parts (A) and (B) which can be arranged in extension of one another in the direction of their lengths by the moven a middle hinge of width (n), axis of symmetry of the device, located along a fold line (p) Each longitudinal part consists of a first flat parallelepipedal element (C) for (A), ( and its equivalent (D) for (B)), obtuse fixed angle angle (eu, with a second element also flat parallelepiped (C) for (A), (and its equivalent (D for (B)), and of length different or equal to that of the first element, so that in the direction of their respective lengths length of (CVlength of (C) = length of (D) - length of (D '), and finally of a third element, a longitudinal profile in line with the above, (Ml) (in line with (C)), (and its equivalent (M2) (in line with (D ')), preferably of generally semicircular or similar section, so that by rotation of 180 ° on the median hinge defined by the fold line (p), (Ml) and (M2) fig 3 and 3bιs pi 1.2 can be assembled and locked longitudinally by means of a median longitudinal rail ir) protruding from (M2) to penetrate by manual pressure into a median longitudinal cavity (c) located opposite (r) in the volume of (Ml), of length greater by slight excess than the length of (r) and whose depth has a value slightly greater than the height of (r). the sections of (r) and (c) being isosceles trapezoidal with the same slopes, the male section of (r) being slightly stronger than the female section of (c) for good locking by light pressure (M l) and ( M2) once joined together constitute the handle of the device To separate them when it becomes necessary, they should be removed by the application of two slight radial forces of opposite direction, on corresponding sockets (kl) and (k2) preferably arranged in symmetrical concavities at the respective two ends of (Ml) and (M2) fig 3 pi 1/2 The above description only concerns the device in its version presenting (A) and (B) as theoretically identical, being quite obvious that from other useful configurations of (A) and (B) exist with different respective values for (C), (C), (D), (D r ) as long as (α) and (β) remain in operative values For (Ml) and (M2), whatever the respective configurations of (C), (C), (D), (D '), (α) and (β). they retain the specificities set out in the description The second element of the device is a sliding pad (t) fig. 1, 2 and 3 ft. 1/2 and fig 4 pl. 2/2 preferably consists of two blanks of identical length and width , of identical thicknesses also in general (but not necessarily if the two blanks are not produced in identical materials or even if for particular needs, identical materials are of different thicknesses)
La description s'attachera particulièrement au tampon recurant dans la mesure ou le recurage énergique est l'application principale prévue du dispositif Les deux flancs précités seront considères de dimensions identiques, et taillés dans un mateπau recurant épais et souple du commerce, constitue de fibres abrasives Les deux flancs fig 4 pi.2/4 seront superposes et cousus en bordure longitudinalement selon leurs longueurs (L), et leur largeur (vj entre les coutures est très légèrement supεπeure à la largeur (n) de (C), (C), (D) et (D'), de manière à ce que le tampon obtenu. après réalisation des deux coutures latérales, puisse glisser à plat successivement le long des éléments parallélépipédiques plats (C). (C), (D) et (D') dont les bords sont alignés sur deux parallèles distantes de (n), après avoir été introduit par le bout du profil longitudinal (Ml ) du manche (c'est à dire preférentiellement. celui qui ne comporte pas le rail dépassant, pour plus de facilité), les deux profils longitudinaux (Ml ) et (M2) se trouvant alors dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre de part et d'autre du dispositif, celui-ci étant totalement ouvert fig.2 pi.1/2The description will be particularly attached to the recurant pad insofar as energetic scouring is the main intended application of the device. The two aforementioned flanks will be considered to be of identical dimensions, and cut from a thick and flexible recurrent commercial material, consisting of abrasive fibers. The two sides fig 4 ft. 2/4 will be superimposed and sewn along the edge longitudinally according to their lengths (L), and their width (vj between the seams is very slightly greater than the width (n) of (C), (C) , (D) and (D '), so that the pad obtained, after completion of the two lateral seams, can slide flat successively along the flat parallelepiped elements (C). (C), (D) and ( D ') whose edges are aligned on two parallels distant from (n), after having been introduced by the end of the longitudinal profile (MI) of the handle (that is to say preferably one which does not include the protruding rail, for more e facility), the two longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) then being in the extension of one another on either side of the device, the latter being completely open fig. 2 pi.1 / 2
La longueur (L) du tampon glissant (t) est égale ou légèrement supérieure aux valeurs cumulées des longueurs de (C)+( ) ou (D)+(D'), afin de ne pas entraver la fermeture du dispositif lors du verrouillage des profils longitudinaux (Ml) et (M2) fig.3 p 1/2. lors de l'utilisationThe length (L) of the sliding pad (t) is equal to or slightly greater than the cumulative values of the lengths of (C) + () or (D) + (D '), so as not to hinder the closing of the device during locking longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) fig. 3 p 1/2. when using
Les deux flancs du tampon peuvent aussi être taillés dans un matériau spongieux souple (éponge végétale ou mousse chimique compacte), dans un matériau doux (coton épais, par exemple), etc.. selon des besoins particuliersThe two sides of the tampon can also be cut from a flexible spongy material (vegetable sponge or compact chemical foam), from a soft material (thick cotton, for example), etc. according to specific needs.
Les deux flancs du tampon peuvent être d'épaisseurs différentes Ils peuvent être de matériaux différents cousus longitudmalement (exemple, une face recurante / une face douce ou spongieuse) Ils peuvent aussi être collés longitudmalement en bordure au niveau de leurs longueurs opposées dans les cas ou la fabrication de ces tampons permettrait d'atteindre de meilleurs coûts sans que la colle utilisée n'amené d'incompatibilité chimique avec la matière du support a recurerThe two sides of the pad can be of different thicknesses They can be of different materials sewn longitudinally (example, a scouring side / a soft or spongy side) They can also be glued longitudinally at the edge at their opposite lengths in cases where the production of these pads would allow better costs to be achieved without the glue used bringing any chemical incompatibility with the material of the support to be scoured
En outre, au lieu d'utiliser un tampon a deux flancs tailles dans le même matériau et ayant la même épaisseur, on peut aussi utiliser un tampon en forme de tube épais fig 5 pi.2/2. taille par exemple dans un matériau recurant souple du commerce constitue de fibres abrasives Dans ce cas, c'est le tampon écrase longitudmalement, de longueur (L). qui doit être enfilé a plat le long de (C), (C). (D) et (D') juste un peu plus loin que la charnière pour la première utilisation Si (n) est la largeur du support, la valeur utile de la largeur du tampon écrase correspond a (v)In addition, instead of using a tampon with two flanks cut in the same material and having the same thickness, one can also use a tampon in the shape of a thick tube fig 5 pi.2 / 2. pruning, for example, in a flexible, recurring commercial material, consists of abrasive fibers. In this case, the pad is crushed longitudinally, of length (L). which must be threaded flat along (C), (C). (D) and (D ') just a little further than the hinge for the first use If (n) is the width of the support, the useful value of the width of the crushed buffer corresponds to (v)
Cette valeur utile n'est autre que la valeur de la demi-circonference du cercle de section interne du tube Si la longueur de la circonférence s'établit par la formule 2 π x rayon du cercle, la demi-circonference interne équivaut a π x rayon du cercle interne On peut donc écrire (\ ) = π x rayon du cercle interne ce qui donne pour valeur utile du rayon du cercle de section interne du recurant tubulaire (v) / πThis useful value is none other than the value of the half-circumference of the circle of internal section of the tube If the length of the circumference is established by the formula 2 π x radius of the circle, the internal half-circumference is equivalent to π x radius of the inner circle We can therefore write (\) = π x radius of the inner circle which gives the useful value of the radius of the circle of inner section of the tubular recurrent (v) / π
Evidemment, l'épaisseur du tube souple de matériau recurant aura une limite operative par rapport a la valeur de l'angle aigu (β) entre les éléments parallélepipediques plats (C) etObviously, the thickness of the flexible tube of recurring material will have an operative limit with respect to the value of the acute angle (β) between the flat parallelepiped elements (C) and
(D) en charnière, pour permettre la fermeture du support par la sohdansation fig 3 pi 1/2 de ses deux profils longitudinaux (Ml ) et (M2) qui en forment le manche(D) hinged, to allow the support to be closed by the sohdansation fig 3 pi 1/2 of its two longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) which form the handle
Enfin, le tampon de l'invention peut être réalise a partir d'un flanc monolithique parallelepipedique perce a mi-epaisseur selon une largeur (v) et une hauteur de perçage en rapport avec l'épaisseur des éléments (C), (C), (D) et (D') fig 6 pi.2/2Finally, the pad of the invention can be produced from a parallelepipedal monolithic flank drilled at mid-thickness along a width (v) and a drilling height in relation to the thickness of the elements (C), (C) , (D) and (D ') fig 6 pi. 2/2
La planche 2/2 représente les trois types de tampons les plus adéquats pour le support selon l'inventionPlate 2/2 represents the three types of pads most suitable for the support according to the invention
La figure 4 représente le tampon cousu, la figure 5 le tampon tubulaire utilisable a plat, et enfin la figure 6 le tampon monolithique parallelepipedique perce a mi-epaisseur Pour un usage industriel manuel, il conviendra de prévoir un support robuste produit dans un matériau de résistance mécanique élevée et des tampons abrasifs suffisamment souples et de duretés et compositions différentes selon les cas d'espècesFigure 4 shows the sewn pad, Figure 5 the tubular pad usable flat, and finally Figure 6 the parallelepiped monolithic pad drilled to mid-thickness For manual industrial use, it will be necessary to provide a robust support produced in a material of high mechanical resistance and sufficiently flexible abrasive pads and hardnesses and different compositions depending on the case
- Par exemple pour recurer une tôle en acier inoxydable présentant des points d'oxydation il faudra utiliser un tampon spécifique ne contenant pas de particules ferritiques afin de ne pas recontaminer le métal que l'on cherche a desoxyder- For example to scour a stainless steel sheet with oxidation points, it will be necessary to use a specific buffer not containing ferritic particles in order not to recontaminate the metal that one seeks to deoxidize
- Autre exemple pour décaper un élément en métal argenté, il faudra utiliser un tampon a faces externes très douces et recouvertes de PTFe ("TEFLON <κ "), afin d'éviter de rayer l'espace a décaper, voire a lustrer Pour des besoins ménagers de recurage de poêles, casseroles, plats, marmites, etc , le support sera de préférence moule en injection de poiypropylene dans un moule a démoulage direct, en raison justement du concept du manche Apres démoulage direct, les deux profils longitudinaux (M l ) et (M2) s'assemblent et se verrouillent en légère pression et resteront au surplus verrouilles par le fait même que la main maintient les deux profils encastres l'un dans l'autre pendant l'utilisation du dispositif- Another example to strip a silver metal element, it will be necessary to use a pad with very soft external faces and covered with PTFe ("TEFLON <κ"), in order to avoid scratching the space to be stripped, or even to polish For household needs of scouring pots, pans, dishes, pots, etc., the support will preferably be molded by injection of poiypropylene in a mold with direct demoulding, precisely because of the concept of the handle After direct demoulding, the two longitudinal profiles ( M l) and (M2) are assembled and locked under slight pressure and will also remain locked by the very fact that the hand maintains the two profiles embedded in one another during the use of the device
Les deux éléments parallélepipediques plats (C) et (D) en charnière ainsi que leurs prolongements respectifs plats angules les éléments parallélepipediques plats (C) et (D') auront uniformément tous une épaisseur comprise entre environ 2 et 3 millimètres pour une résistance mécanique suffisante dans le cas d un recurage ménager énergique Des surepaisseurs sur (C) et (D') au voisinage de la naissance de chacun des deux profils longitudinaux (Ml ) et (M2) constituant le manche permettront une meilleure robustesse de l'appareil en action par l'une ou l'autre de ses faces actives en pression/frottement énergique sur la surface a décaper que celle-ci soit plane, convexe ou concave La charnière médiane entre (C) et (D) pourra être une charnière "naturelle" prévue dans le moule d'injection par une simple diminution d'épaisseur de la matière en gorge fig 2 pi 1/2 le long de la ligne de pli ) vers l'intérieur de l'angle (β) fig 3 pi 1/2 entre (A) et (B) sur une profondeur comprise entre environ le l '3 et la 1/2 de l'épaisseur des éléments parallélepipediques plats (C) ou (D) et pour une largeur de gorge variable en fonction de l'angle (β) que l'on souhaite entre (C) et (D) cet angle devant être compris entre environ 35 et 45°, pour la meilleure attaque de la surface a recurer par l'une des deux faces actives du dispositifThe two flat parallelepipedic elements (C) and (D) at the hinge as well as their respective flat angular extensions the flat parallelepipedic elements (C) and (D ') will uniformly all have a thickness of between approximately 2 and 3 millimeters for sufficient mechanical strength. in the case of an energetic household scouring Thicknesses on (C) and (D ') in the vicinity of the birth of each of the two longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) constituting the handle will allow a better robustness of the device in action by one or other of its active faces in pressure / energetic friction on the surface to be stripped whether the latter is plane, convex or concave The middle hinge between (C) and (D) may be a "natural" hinge provided in the injection mold by a simple reduction in the thickness of the material in the groove fig 2 pi 1/2 along the fold line) towards the inside of the angle (β) fig 3 pi 1/2 between (A) and (B) on a deep ur between approximately l '3 and 1/2 of the thickness of the flat parallelepiped elements (C) or (D) and for a variable groove width depending on the angle (β) that is desired between (C) and (D) this angle to be between approximately 35 and 45 °, for the best attack of the surface to be scoured by one of the two active faces of the device
Il n'est pas recommande que l'angle externe de charnière entre les faces externes de (C) et (D) soit trop aigu, car le frottement du tampon recurant opère sur l'angle aigu du support le long du diamètre de fond d'un récipient a bords verticaux ou assimiles, peut favoriser le déchirement prématuré du tampon recurant le long de la ligne de frottement dudit tampon recouvrant la ligne externe de charnière L'extrémité externe de la charnière du support doit être suffisamment arrondie pour éviter de crever prématurément le tampon Les angles opposes et théoriquement égaux (α) entre les faces internes de (C) et (C) et les faces internes de (D) et (D') devront avoir une valeur comprise entre environ 135 et 145e afin que la mise en place du tampon par glissement a plat, a partir preférentiellement du bout du profil longitudinal (Ml ) du manche (celui ne comportant pas le rail longitudinal médian (r)), puisse être réalisée facilement sans être gênée par un angle trop ferme qui entraverait le tampon dans son avancée vers la charnière, ou rendrait cette avancée impossibleIt is not recommended that the external hinge angle between the external faces of (C) and (D) be too acute, because the friction of the recurrent pad operates on the acute angle of the support along the bottom diameter d 'a container with vertical or similar edges, can favor the premature tearing of the pad recurring along the line of friction of said pad covering the external line of hinge The external end of the hinge of the support must be sufficiently rounded to avoid premature puncturing the buffer The opposite and theoretically equal angles (α) between the internal faces of (C) and (C) and the internal faces of (D) and (D ') must have a value between approximately 135 and 145 e so that the placement of the pad by sliding flat, preferably from the end of the longitudinal profile (Ml) of the handle (the one not having the median longitudinal rail (r)), can be carried out easily without being hampered by a too sharp angle rme who obstruct the pad in its advance towards the hinge, or make this advance impossible
Le fonctionnement du dispositif consiste a utiliser successivement l'une et l'autre face du tampon après retournement de celui-ci lequel nécessite de ressortir le tampon a plat par le manche pour le présenter sur sa face active opposée puis a faire avancer progressivement le tampon perpendiculairement a la charnière le long des éléments (C), (C), (D) et (D') ou en sens inverse, de telle façon que l'usure du tampon a 1 endroit de la charnière puisse être interrompue a temps, c'est a dire avant déchirure et que le dispositif puisse continuer a opérer avec un tampon toujours en bon état au niveau de la charnière, et cela jusqu'à l'usure homogène du tampon sur toute sa longueur, et sur l'une et l'autre de ses deux faces Le dispositif en s'ouvrant totalement en charnière a 180° fig 2 pi 1/2, (les deux profils longitudinaux (Ml ) et (M2) étant alors approximativement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre), permet l'avancée du tampon glissant Le dispositif en se refermant, (les deux profils longitudinaux (Ml ) et (M2) se retrouvant solidarises), permet de bloquer angulairement le tampon, sur une portion de sa largeur recouvrant la charnière et ne présentant encore pas d'usure The operation of the device consists in successively using one and the other face of the tampon after turning it which requires removing the tampon flat by the handle to present it on its opposite active face and then progressively advancing the tampon perpendicular to the hinge along the elements (C), (C), (D) and (D ') or in opposite directions, so that the wear of the pad at 1 place of the hinge can be stopped in time, that is to say before tearing and that the device can continue to operate with a buffer still in good condition at the hinge, and this until the uniform wear of the buffer over its entire length, and on one and the other of its two faces The device, opening fully hinged at 180 ° fig 2 ft 1/2, (the two longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) then being approximately in the extension of one of the other), allows the sliding pad to advance The device by closing, (the two longitudinal profiles (Ml) and (M2) being joined together), allows the pad to be angularly blocked, over a portion of its width covering the hinge and not yet showing any wear
