Description

L'invention concerne une rondelle de positionnement en hauteur de l'axe agitateur d'un couvercle agitateur destiné aux machines d'agitation de peinture. US 5482370 décrit un couvercle agitateur destiné aux machines d'agitation de peinture comprenant des moyens de positionnement en hauteur de l'axe agitateur.The invention relates to a positioning washer in height of the agitator axis of an agitator cover intended paint stirring machines. US 5482370 describes an agitator cover for paint stirring machines comprising positioning means in height of the agitator axis.

Le positionnement en hauteur de l'axe agitateur des couvercles agitateurs sur les machines d'agitation est effectué actuellement au moyen d'une rondelle annulaire simple mise en place dans une gorge correspondante de la tige d'axe agitateur. Ceci nécessite un usinage relativement délicat de la tige d'axe avec une manoeuvre correspondante de mise en place de la rondelle. De plus, son démontage est difficile.The height positioning of the agitator axis of the agitator covers on the stirring machines is currently performed using an annular washer simple placement in a corresponding groove of the agitator shaft rod. This requires relatively machining delicate axis rod with corresponding maneuver to install the washer. In addition, its disassembly is difficult.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une rondelle de positionnement en hauteur de la tige d'axe agitateur d'un couvercle agitateur destiné aux machines d'agitation de peinture telle que décrite dans la revendication 1.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by offering a height positioning washer for the stirrer shaft rod of an agitator cover intended for paint stirring machines as described in claim 1.

Le pion médian peut avoir une longueur légèrement supérieure au diamètre de la tige d'axe agitateur, de manière à faciliter l'introduction du pion dans ledit trou de la tige.The middle piece may be slightly longer greater than the diameter of the agitator shaft rod, so as to facilitate the introduction of the pin into said hole of the stem.

Il résulte de cette disposition que la mise à hauteur de la rondelle est assurée par l'engagement de son pion médian sur la tige d'axe agitateur, la rondelle venant en butée par son corps annulaire sur le fût du couvercle agitateur pour permettre le positionnement en hauteur de l'axe agitateur relativement au couvercle. It follows from this provision that the height of the puck is secured by the engagement of its middle pin on the agitator shaft rod, the washer abuts by its annular body on the barrel of the agitator cover to allow height positioning of the agitator axis relative to the cover.

Le montage de la rondelle s'effectue de façon aisée et rapide par engagement radial encliqueté de cette dernière sur la tige d'axe agitateur et de même pour le démontage par la manoeuvre inverse.The mounting of the washer is carried out easily and fast by radial engagement of the latter on the agitator shaft rod and likewise for disassembly by the reverse maneuver.

L'invention concerne également un couvercle agitateur ainsi équipé tel que décrit dans la revendication 4.The invention also relates to an agitator cover. thus equipped as described in claim 4.

L'invention est illustrée ci-après à l'aide d'un exemple de réalisation et en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une rondelle selon l'invention détachée de la tige d'axe agitateur sur lequel elle doit être montée,
  • la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 montrant la rondelle montée sur la tige d'axe,
  • la figure 3 montre un couvercle agitateur équipé d'une rondelle de positionnement de l'axe agitateur selon l'invention, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue d'une variante de réalisation.
The invention is illustrated below using an embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a washer according to the invention detached from the stirrer shaft rod on which it is to be mounted,
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing the washer mounted on the axle rod,
  • FIG. 3 shows an agitator cover fitted with a washer for positioning the agitator axis according to the invention, and
  • Figure 4 is a view of an alternative embodiment.

Comme représenté sur les dessins, la rondelle d'axe 1 selon l'invention est destinée à être montée sur la tige d'axe agitateur 3 d'un couvercle agitateur 5, sur la fourchette d'entraínement 7 7 de l'axe. Elle sert de butée d'appui inférieur à la tige d'axe 3 sur le fût 9 du couvercle agitateur pour son positionnement en hauteur en adaptation des diverses hauteurs de boíte de peinture et des systèmes d'entraínement à palette des machines d'agitation.As shown in the drawings, the axis 1 washer according to the invention is intended to be mounted on the rod of agitator axis 3 of an agitator cover 5, on the drive fork 7 7 of the axis. It serves as a stop lower support to the shaft rod 3 on the barrel 9 of the agitator cover for its height positioning in adaptation of the various heights of paint can and paddle drive systems for stirring machines.

Elle comporte un corps annulaire tronqué 11 ménageant une ouverture 13 de largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre de la tige d'axe agitateur 3. Elle comprend en outre un pion médian 15, disposé dans le plan du corps annulaire 11 et à l'opposé de l'ouverture 13. Un trou de perçage 17 est formé diamétralement dans la tige d'axe agitateur 3. Ce trou 17, de dimension complémentaire au jeu près du pion médian 15, est destiné à recevoir le pion médian 15 de la rondelle. Il est formé à hauteur adéquate sur la tige d'axe 3 pour permettre, comme précité, le positionnement en hauteur recherché de l'axe agitateur. It comprises a truncated annular body 11 which protects an opening 13 of width slightly less than the diameter of the agitator shaft rod 3. It includes in addition to a median pawn 15, arranged in the plane of the body annular 11 and opposite the opening 13. A hole of hole 17 is formed diametrically in the shaft rod agitator 3. This hole 17, of dimension complementary to the clearance near the middle pawn 15, is intended to receive the pawn median 15 of the puck. It is formed at an adequate height on the axis rod 3 to allow, as mentioned above, the desired height positioning of the agitator axis.

La rondelle est issue de moulage en matière synthétique à caractéristique de légère déformation élastique autorisant la déformation de l'ouverture 13 au diamètre de la tige d'axe pour son passage sur cette tige, tandis que le pion médian 15 pénètre dans le trou 17, lors du montage de la rondelle sur cette tige d'axe agitateur. Le corps 11 se positionne perpendiculairement à la tige sous l'effet de pince de la rondelle sur la surface de la tige.The washer is made from plastic molding with characteristic of slight elastic deformation allowing the deformation of the opening 13 to the diameter of the rod axis for its passage on this rod, while the pawn median 15 enters hole 17, when mounting the washer on this agitator shaft rod. The body 11 is positioned perpendicular to the rod under the effect of washer clip on the rod surface.

Son montage s'obtient ainsi de façon aisée et rapide par encliquetage de même que son retrait par la manoeuvre inverse.Its assembly is thus obtained easily and quickly by latching as well as its removal by the maneuver reverse.

Naturellement, la tige d'axe agitateur peut comporter plusieurs trous de perçage, autorisant le montage de la rondelle à diverses hauteurs sur la tige selon le positionnement en hauteur de l'axe agitateur recherché.Naturally, the agitator shaft rod may include several drilling holes, allowing the mounting of the washer at various heights on the rod depending on the height positioning of the desired agitator axis.

Une variante de réalisation de l'invention, telle que représentée à la figure 4, utilise des patins 19, diamétralement opposés de part et d'autre du pion médian 15. Ces patins peuvent être des patins d'usure.An alternative embodiment of the invention, such as represented in FIG. 4, uses pads 19, diametrically opposite on either side of the median pawn 15. These pads can be wear pads.
