Abstract

The invention concerns a device for avoiding children's fingers being nipped in the aperture between the door frame and the door at the hinges. The device is made up of several panels of flexible or semirigid material (1) which are fixed by side plates (2) for instance by bonding, to the door by one of its ends, and to the door frame by the other end. Once it is fixed, the device is deformed according to the opening and closing movements of the door. Thus, it shifts from a U-shaped configuration when the door is closed to a relatively flat configuration when the door is open.

Description

S Y S T E M E D E P RO T E C T I O N A N T I P I N C E - DO I G T S P O U R PO R T E L'invention dont il est question est un dispositif anti pince-doigts qui se fixe sur le bord latéral d'une porte d'une part et l'huisserie d'autre part, côté gonds Le but du dispositif est de combler le jour qui se crée à cet endroit lors de l'ouverture de la porte et empêcher ainsi les enfants d'y glisser leurs doigts Les accidents sont fréquents, ils vont du simple pincement a l'écrasement, voire la section dans certains cas malheureusementSYSTEMEDEP RO TECTIONANTIPINCE - DO IGTSPOUR PO RTE The invention in question is an anti-finger clip device which is fixed on the side edge of a door on the one hand and the frame on the other hand, hinge side The purpose of the device is to fill the day that is created in this place when the door is opened and thus prevent children from slipping their fingers in it Accidents are frequent, they range from simple pinching to crushing, even section in some cases unfortunately
Les dispositifs conçus a ce jour pour résoudre ce problème n'ont pas apporté de solution satisfaisante car ils présentaient l'inconvénient de ne pas être assez simples à fabriquer, ni à poser , de présenter une taille trop importante pour le rayonnage en magasin, d'être peu commode pour le conditionnement et la promotion publicitaire De tels dispositifs sont décrits dans les brevets FR 2 726 317, FR 2 565 622 et FR-A-2 282 032, ce dernier est en fait un soufflet, ce qui exige une forme plissee à la fabrication. Le dispositif PCT/FR90/00301 qui lui est constitué d'une pièce allongée rigide ou semi-rigide présentant des lignes de subdivision longitudinales définissant deux lamelles marginales et une zone centrale de -géométrie variableThe devices designed to date to solve this problem did not provide a satisfactory solution because they had the disadvantage of not being simple enough to manufacture, nor to install, of being too large for shelving in store, d '' inconvenient for packaging and advertising promotion Such devices are described in patents FR 2 726 317, FR 2 565 622 and FR-A-2 282 032, the latter is in fact a bellows, which requires a form pleated at the manufacturing. The PCT / FR90 / 00301 device which consists of an elongated rigid or semi-rigid part having longitudinal subdivision lines defining two marginal strips and a central zone of variable geometry
L'objectif du présent dispositif est de remédier aux défauts des inventions citées précédemment et de ne pas nécessiter d'articulation pour palier aux mouvements de la porte comme une ligne de subdivision de la pièce allongée définissant une zone de géométrie variable décrits dans PCT/FR90/00301 ou de soufflets latéraux décrits dans FR-A-2 282 032, 20 ni d'éléments mécaniques décrits dans FR 272 63 17, dans la mesure ou la présente invention repose sur le principe d'une déformation du dispositif lui-même fait dans une matière souple ou semi-rigide pour permettre les mouvements d'ouverture et fermeture de la porte Le dispositif est composé d'une ou de plusieurs pièces allongées dont la hauteur totale est par exemple de 130 centimètres, hauteur qui reste à déterminer plus précisément en fonction des règles et normes applicables en la matièreThe objective of this device is to remedy the shortcomings of the aforementioned inventions and not to require articulation to compensate for the movements of the door like a subdivision line of the elongated part defining a zone of variable geometry described in PCT / FR90 / 00301 or lateral bellows described in FR-A-2 282 032, 20 or mechanical elements described in FR 272 63 17, insofar as the present invention is based on the principle of a deformation of the device itself in a flexible or semi-rigid material to allow the opening and closing movements of the door The device is composed of one or more elongated parts whose total height is for example 130 centimeters, height which remains to be determined more precisely according to the applicable rules and standards
La pièce allongée est faite dans une matière souple ou semi-rigide capable de subir une déformation allant d'une configuration plate en position ouverte de la porte, dans ce cas la pièce se trouve tendue, à une configuration en forme de U lorsque la porte est fermée Cette pièce est terminée a chaque extrémité verticale par des lamelles préférentiellement de plus faible épaisseur permettant la fixation par simple adhésion par exemple à l'huisserie par l'une des extrémité, et à la porte par l'autre extrémité L'ensemble de la pièce allongée et des lamelles peut, selon un exemple de réalisation être réalisé en un seul élément de matièreThe elongated part is made of a flexible or semi-rigid material capable of undergoing deformation ranging from a flat configuration in the open position of the door, in this case the part is stretched, to a U-shaped configuration when the door is closed This part is finished at each vertical end with preferably thin strips allowing fixing by simple adhesion for example to the frame by one of the ends, and to the door by the other end. the elongated part and lamellae can, according to an exemplary embodiment, be made from a single piece of material
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT (RÈGLE 26) Cette pièce peut être réalisée pour la matière souple en polyethylene notamment sous forme de mousse nue par exemple serait enveloppée dans une matière fine qui pourrait être du PVC ou un tissu de fibre naturelles ou synthétiques par exemple Cette enveloppe serait prolongée elle seule a chaque extrémité verticale pour définir deux lamelles de quelques centimètres de largeur pour la fixation, et a une des extrémités horizontales d'une troisième lamelle permettant dans le cas d'une déclinaison sous forme de plusieurs pièces de lier les pièces les unes aux autres a l'aide d'un adhésif par exempleSUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) This piece can be made for the flexible polyethylene material in particular in the form of bare foam for example would be wrapped in a fine material which could be PVC or a fabric of natural or synthetic fibers for example This envelope would be extended alone at each vertical end to define two strips of a few centimeters in width for fixing, and at one of the horizontal ends of a third strip allowing in the case of a variation in the form of several pieces to link the pieces to each other using '' an adhesive for example
Une fois posée, la pièce allongée va se déformer en fonction des mouvements de la porte Ainsi elle passera d'une configuration en forme de U lorsque la porte est fermée, a une configuration relativement plate lorsque la porte est ouverteOnce installed, the elongated part will deform according to the movements of the door. Thus, it will change from a U-shaped configuration when the door is closed, to a relatively flat configuration when the door is open.
La largeur de la pièce allongée sera déterminée en fonction de l'angle d'ouverture maximum a supporter L'angle d'ouverture minimum a supporter par le dispositif étant 90 degrés Pour l'aspect esthétique, l'enveloppe utilisée pour recouvrir la matière souple pourra être dans des couleurs de base comme le blanc ou des couleurs plus conviviales comme le pastel, ou des motifs décoratifs Ces aspects ainsi que la fabrication en une seule ou plusieurs pièces seront à déterminer en fonction des règles ou normes en la matière ou des besoins résultants des études de marcheThe width of the elongated part will be determined as a function of the maximum opening angle to be supported. The minimum opening angle to be supported by the device being 90 degrees. For the aesthetic appearance, the envelope used to cover the flexible material. could be in basic colors like white or more friendly colors like pastel, or decorative patterns These aspects as well as the manufacturing in one or several pieces will be to be determined according to the rules or standards in the matter or needs results of market studies
A titre d'illustration, des dessin sont joints qui représentent au niveau de la figure 1 une vue d'ensemble de face du dispositif pose sur une porte dans un cas de déclinaison sous forme de deux éléments liés entre eux Pour la figure 2 une coupe transversale de la même porte en position fermée, dans ce cas la pièce allongée (1 ) se trouve dans une configuration en forme de U La figure 3 représente elle la porte en position ouverte, dans ce cas la pièce allongée (1 ) est tendue et donc en configuration relativement plate Chacune des figures permet de distinguer les lamelles verticales (2) permettant la fixation du dispositif sur la porte et l'huisserie Sur la figure 1 on peut également distinguer le point de liaison de deux éléments du dispositif (3) à l'aide d'une lamelle horizontale qui se trouve en arrière plan, et donc non visible du coté extérieur du dispositif La figure 4 est une coupe transaversale de la pièce allongée dans une réalisation en mousse enveloppée de PVC ou l'on peut distinguer la couche de mousse(4) recouverte par l'enveloppe fine de PVC (5), cette même enveloppe constituant les lamelles verticales (2) By way of illustration, drawings are attached which represent in FIG. 1 an overall front view of the device placed on a door in the case of declination in the form of two elements linked together. For FIG. 2, a section transverse of the same door in the closed position, in this case the elongated part (1) is in a U-shaped configuration Figure 3 shows it the door in the open position, in this case the elongated part (1) is stretched and therefore in a relatively flat configuration Each of the figures makes it possible to distinguish the vertical strips (2) allowing the device to be fixed on the door and the frame. In FIG. 1, the point of connection of two elements of the device (3) can also be distinguished. using a horizontal strip which is located in the background, and therefore not visible from the outside of the device. FIG. 4 is a transaversal section of the elongated part in an embodiment of enveloped foam ée of PVC where we can distinguish the layer of foam (4) covered by the thin PVC envelope (5), this same envelope constituting the vertical strips (2)
