Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des outils à main, notamment des pinces, et plus particulièrement des pinces coupantes utilisées en podologie.The invention relates to the technical sector of hand tools, in particular pliers, and more particularly cutting pliers used in podiatry.
D'une manière parfaitement connue pour un homme du métier, une pince, quelles que soient ses applications, présente essentiellement deux branches articulées comportant chacune à une extrémité, une mâchoire dont le profil et la configuration dépendent de fonctions spécifiques recherchées. Pour certains types de pinces, les mâchoires sont rappelées en position d'ouverture par un organe élastique monté entre les deux branches généralement au niveau de leur articulation. Cet organe élastique est conformé pour maintenir les branches en position normalement ouverte, de sorte qu'il est nécessaire d'exercer un effort de pression au niveau de l'organe élastique pour permettre le rapprochement des mâchoires résultant d'un effort de serrage exercé au niveau des branches.In a manner perfectly known to a person skilled in the art, pliers, whatever their applications, have essentially two articulated branches each having at one end a jaw, the profile and configuration depend on the specific functions sought. For certain types of pliers, the jaws are recalled in position opening by an elastic member mounted between the two branches usually at their joint. This elastic organ is shaped to keep the branches in the normally open position, so it is necessary to exert a pressure force at the level of the elastic member to allow the approximation of the resulting jaws of a clamping force exerted on the branches.
Dans la plupart des cas, l'organe élastique est constitué par un ressort à boudins généralement en acier dont les extrémités sont fixées à chacune des branches. Cette solution technique nécessite de réaliser, au niveau de chacune des branches, des agencements spécifiques permettant la fixation du ressort. De tels agencements ne sont pas faits pour permettre un montage et démontage aisés du ressort. Autrement dit, lorsque le ressort est fixé, il est très difficile de le démonter afin de le remplacer par exemple par un ressort d'une dureté supérieure ou inférieure. On observe également que le montage et la fixation du ressort entre les deux branches peuvent parfois s'avérer délicates, étant donné que généralement le ressort doit être comprimé manuellement au moment de sa fixation.In most cases, the elastic organ consists of a generally steel coil spring, the ends of which are fixed to each of the branches. This technical solution requires carrying out, at level of each of the branches, specific arrangements allowing the spring fixing. Such arrangements are not made to allow easy assembly and disassembly of the spring. In other words, when the spring is fixed, it is very difficult to dismantle it in order to replace it for example by a spring of higher or lower hardness. We also observe that the mounting and fixing of the spring between the two branches can sometimes prove to be delicate, since generally the spring must be compressed manually when fixed.
On a proposé également d'équiper seulement l'une des deux branches de la pince d'un ressort à lame. L'une des extrémités du ressort est fixée à demeure sur la branche, et son autre extrémité prend appui sur la branche opposée (voir par exemple GB-A-1 443 913). Comme indiqué précédemment, ce ressort à lame, généralement en acier, n'est pas démontable. En outre, ce type de ressort étant basé sur la déformation d'une lame, cette dernière doit être de longueur suffisante afin d'obtenir l'élasticité recherchée. Il en résulte donc un certain encombrement. De même, lorsque les deux branches de la pince sont serrées en exerçant un effort de compression sur le ressort à lame, cette dernière glisse sur la branche la recevant en appui, ce qui peut dans certains cas, provoquer sa détérioration.We also proposed to equip only one of the two branches of the clamp of a leaf spring. One end of the spring is permanently fixed to the branch, and its other end rests on the opposite branch (see for example GB-A-1 443 913). As indicated above, this leaf spring, generally made of steel, is not removable. In addition, this type of spring being based on the deformation of a blade, the latter must be sufficient length to obtain the desired elasticity. It therefore results a certain bulk. Similarly, when the two branches of the clamp are tightened by exerting a compressive force on the leaf spring, this last slide on the branch receiving it in support, which can in some case, cause its deterioration.
Enfin, d'une manière générale, ces types de ressorts en acier, qu'ils soient à boudins ou à lame déformable, peuvent être utilisés sans trop de difficultés dans le domaine du bricolage, ce qui n'est pas le cas dans le domaine médical et paramédical où l'on évite, dans la mesure du possible, l'emploi de ce type de pièce.Finally, generally speaking, these types of steel springs, whether they are flanged or deformable blade, can be used without too much difficulties in the field of DIY, which is not the case in the medical and paramedical field where we avoid, as much as possible, the use of this type of part.
Le FR-A-2076824 décrit un ressort à lame en matière synthétique comportant deux parties ressort-lame fixées de façon permanente sur les branches.FR-A-2076824 describes a leaf spring made of material synthetic with two leaf spring parts fixed so permanent on the branches.
L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités, de manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle.The object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, in a simple, safe, efficient and rational way.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est d'équiper les branches d'une pince, d'un organe élastique de rappel en position d'ouverture des mâchoires, qui soit facilement interchangeable afin de pouvoir augmenter ou diminuer à volonté l'effort de compression nécessaire à la fermeture des branches, en fonction de l'effort de serrage appliqué sur ces dernièresThe problem which the invention proposes to solve is to equip the arms of a clamp, of an elastic return member in position jaw opening, which is easily interchangeable to be able to increase or decrease the compression effort required at will when branches are closed, depending on the tightening force applied to these last
Pour résoudre ce problème, l'organe élastique d'un outil à main selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est constitué
par un bloc en matière caoutchouteuse déformable présentant des
agencements de fixation coopérant avec des agencements complémentaires
de l'une des branches, lesdits agencements étant aptes à assurer un
accouplement démontable.To solve this problem, the elastic member of a hand tool according to the preamble of
Pour résoudre le problème posé d'assurer la fixation amovible de l'organe élastique par rapport à l'une des branches, tout en permettant d'exercer un effort de compression nécessaire au maintien en position d'ouverture des mâchoires, le bloc comprend une embase présentant les agencements de fixation, ladite embase étant prolongée par un doigt profilé apte à prendre appui sur la branche opposée à celle recevant l'embase. Le doigt profilé coopère, en position d'appui correspondant à le fermeture des mâchoires, avec une empreinte en creux formée dans l'épaisseur de la branche.To resolve the problem posed of ensuring the removable fixing of the elastic member with respect to one of the branches, while allowing to exert a compression force necessary to maintain in position opening jaws, the block includes a base having the fixing arrangements, said base being extended by a profiled finger able to bear on the branch opposite to that receiving the base. The profiled finger cooperates, in the support position corresponding to the closing of the jaws, with a hollow imprint formed in the thickness of the plugged.
Pour résoudre le problème posé de la fixation en tant que telle de l'élément élastique par rapport à l'une des branches de la pince, les agencements sont constitués par un système de rotule et d'empreinte sphérique complémentaire, la rotule étant formée en bout d'une tige rendue solidaire de l'une des branches, l'empreinte sphérique étant formée dans l'épaisseur du bloc en bout d'un alésage. To solve the problem posed of fixing as such the elastic element relative to one of the branches of the clamp, the fittings consist of a ball and socket system complementary spherical, the ball joint being formed at the end of a rod made integral with one of the branches, the spherical imprint being formed in the thickness of the block at the end of a bore.
Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de pouvoir parfaitement intégrer le bloc déformable au niveau de sa fixation sur la partie correspondante de la branche. Un tel problème est résolu en ce que l'embase coopère avec une empreinte de forme correspondante formée dans l'épaisseur de la branche, l'embase et l'empreinte ayant une forme oblique.Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is to ability to perfectly integrate the deformable block at its attachment on the corresponding part of the branch. Such a problem is solved by that the base cooperates with a correspondingly shaped imprint formed in the thickness of the branch, the base and the imprint having a shape oblique.
Compte tenu du problème posé à résoudre qui est d'assurer un rappel automatique en position d'ouverture des mâchoires de la pince, en ayant pour objectif de ne plus utiliser de ressorts en acier, qu'ils soient à boudins ou à lame, le bloc est exécuté en matériau élastomère technique.Given the problem to be solved which is to ensure automatic return to the open position of the clamp jaws, with the objective of no longer using steel springs, whether at sausages or blades, the block is made of technical elastomer material.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des
figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels :
On rappelle, pour une meilleure compréhension de la suite de la description que la pince comprend, d'une manière parfaitement connue pour un homme du métier, deux branches articulées (1) et (2). Chaque branche comporte, à l'une de ses extrémités, des mâchoires (3) et (4). Les formes, dimensions et profils des mâchoires (3) et (4) correspondent, bien évidemment, aux fonctions spécifiques allouées à la pince. Comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2 notamment, les mâchoires sont du type de celles utilisées dans le cas d'une pince pour podologue, étant souligné que l'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse, mais non limitative pour ce type de pince.We recall, for a better understanding of the rest of the description that the clamp comprises, in a manner perfectly known for a person skilled in the art, two articulated branches (1) and (2). Each branch comprises, at one of its ends, jaws (3) and (4). Shapes, dimensions and profiles of the jaws (3) and (4) correspond well obviously, to the specific functions allocated to the clamp. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 in particular, the jaws are of the type used in the case of forceps for podiatrists, it being emphasized that the invention finds a particularly advantageous, but not limiting, application for this type of pliers.
Les mâchoires (3) et (4) sont rappelées en position d'ouverture au moyen d'un organe élastique désigné dans son ensemble par (O) et monté entre les deux branches (1) et (2) au niveau de leur axe d'articulation (5). Les branches (1) et (2) peuvent présenter une armature de base généralement en métal et recouverte par des poignées profilées en forme et dimension et généralement surmoulées sur lesdites armatures. L'ensemble de ces différentes dispositions ne sont pas décrites en détail, car parfaitement connues par un homme du métier et susceptibles de faire l'objet de différentes formes de réalisation en fonction des applications envisagées notamment.The jaws (3) and (4) are returned to the open position by means of an elastic member designated as a whole by (O) and mounted between the two branches (1) and (2) at their hinge axis (5). The branches (1) and (2) may have a basic frame usually made of metal and covered by shaped profiled handles and dimension and generally overmolded on said frames. All of these different arrangements are not described in detail, because perfectly known by a person skilled in the art and capable of making the subject of different embodiments depending on the applications considered in particular.
Selon une caractéristique, l'organe élastique de rappel est constitué par un bloc en matière caoutchouteuse déformable (6). D'une manière préférée, ce bloc est exécuté dans un matériau élastomère technique. Le bloc (6) présente des agencements pour être fixés sur l'une seulement des branches (1) ou (2) avec capacité de démontage pour être facilement et rapidement interchangeable, comme il sera indiqué dans la suite de la description. Dans ce but, et comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 3 et 4, le bloc (6) comprend une embase (6a) présentant des agencements de fixation coopérant avec des agencements complémentaires que présente la branche (1) par exemple. L'embase (6a) est prolongé par un doigt profilé (6b) prenant appui sur la branche opposée (2). Avantageusement, l'embase (6a) de forme générale oblongue présente dans son épaisseur une empreinte en creux (6c) de forme générale sphérique. Cette empreinte (6c) est prolongée par un alésage qui débouche au niveau de la face d'appui (6e) de l'embase. L'embase (6a), notamment sa face d'appui (6e), coopère avec une empreinte en creux de forme complémentaire établie au niveau de la face interne de la branche (1a). Ces dispositions permettent d'assurer une indexation angulaire de l'ensemble du bloc (6) par rapport à la branche (1).According to one characteristic, the organ elastic return consists of a block of rubbery material deformable (6). Preferably, this block is executed in a technical elastomeric material. The block (6) has arrangements for be fixed on only one of the branches (1) or (2) with capacity to disassembly to be easily and quickly interchangeable, as it will be indicated in the following description. For this purpose, and as the more particularly show Figures 3 and 4, the block (6) comprises a base (6a) having fixing arrangements cooperating with additional arrangements presented by the branch (1) for example. The base (6a) is extended by a profiled finger (6b) bearing on the opposite branch (2). Advantageously, the base (6a) of general shape oblong has in its thickness a hollow imprint (6c) of shape general spherical. This imprint (6c) is extended by a bore which opens at the support face (6th) of the base. The base (6a), in particular its bearing face (6th), cooperates with a hollow imprint of complementary shape established on the inner side of the branch (1a). These provisions ensure angular indexing of the entire block (6) relative to the branch (1).
Pour assurer la fixation démontable du bloc (6) par rapport à la branche (1), l'empreinte sphérique (6) coopère avec une tête sphérique ou rotule (7) formée en bout d'une tige (7a) rendue solidaire de la branche (1). L'ensemble du bloc élastomère(6) est donc emmanché à force sur la rotule (7) au moyen de l'alésage débouchant (6d). Ces dispositions permettent donc l'interchangeabilité de l'ensemble du bloc élastomère par rapport à la branche (1).To ensure the removable fixing of the block (6) relative to the branch (1), the spherical impression (6) cooperates with a spherical head or ball joint (7) formed at the end of a rod (7a) made integral with the branch (1). The entire elastomer block (6) is therefore press fitted onto the ball joint (7) by means of the through bore (6d). These provisions allow therefore the interchangeability of the entire elastomer block with respect to the branch (1).
Pour faciliter la déformation du doigt (6b) correspondant à l'effort de compression exercé lors du serrage des branches (1) et (2), ce dernier prend appui sur une empreinte en creux (2a) que présente la branche opposée (2). Cette empreinte (2a) évite au doigt de glisser sur la branche (2) lors de l'effort exercé.To facilitate the deformation of the finger (6b) corresponding to the compressive force exerted during the tightening of the branches (1) and (2), this the latter rests on a hollow imprint (2a) which the opposite branch (2). This imprint (2a) prevents the finger from sliding on the branch (2) during the effort exerted.
La figure 4 montre une forme de réalisation préférée de l'organe élastique (6). Le doigt (6b) est formé à partir de l'une des extrémités de l'embase (6a) et est constitué par un segment incliné et rectiligne (6b1), prolongé par un rayon (6b2) lui-même terminé par une surface d'appui (6b3) destinée à coopérer avec l'empreinte (2a) de la branche (2). L'autre extrémité du doigt (6b) est raccordée très sensiblement au niveau de la partie médiane de l'embase par une ouverture très sensiblement en forme de C (6b4). Après fixation de l'ensemble de l'organe (6) dans les conditions indiquées précédemment, l'ouverture (6b4) est située du côté de l'articulation (5).Figure 4 shows a preferred embodiment of the member elastic (6). The finger (6b) is formed from one of the ends of the base (6a) and is constituted by an inclined and straight segment (6b1), extended by a radius (6b2) itself terminated by a bearing surface (6b3) intended to cooperate with the imprint (2a) of the branch (2). The other end of the finger (6b) is connected very substantially at the level of the middle part of the base by an opening very substantially in the form of C (6b4). After fixing of the whole organ (6) under the conditions indicated above, the opening (6b4) is located on the side of the joint (5).
Compte tenu du caractère facilement démontable de l'organe élastomère (6) de rappel, ce dernier peut être exécuté selon des duretés différentes en fonction de la force de compression que l'utilisateur souhaite exercer. Il est ainsi possible d'avoir un bloc élastomère d'une dureté plus importante pour les hommes que pour les femmes.Given the easily removable nature of the organ recall elastomer (6), the latter can be executed according to hardnesses different depending on the compression force the user wants exercise. It is thus possible to have an elastomer block of greater hardness important for men than for women.
L'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse dans le cas de pince utilisée dans le domaine médical ou paramédical, par exemple en podologie.The invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the case of forceps used in the medical or paramedical field, by example in podiatry.
Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, en particulier on souligne et on rappelle :
- l'interchangeabilité de l'organe de rappel en matériau élastomère d'une manière simple et rapide,
- le coût de revient réduit permettant de fournir avec la pince plusieurs organes de rappel de duretés différentes,
- le caractère quasi inusable et l'effet esthétique produit.
- the interchangeability of the return member made of elastomeric material in a simple and rapid manner,
- the reduced cost price making it possible to supply with the pliers several return devices of different hardnesses,
- the almost wear-free character and the aesthetic effect produced.
