- the element 6 b When mounting the housing, the element 6 b is introduced through the opening 7 b of the flanges 3 a and 3 b until the flange 13 is in contact with the flange 3 b .
- the element 6 a is then introduced into the element 6 b until the flange 16 comes into contact with the flange 3 a .
- the element 6 a and the element 6 b can be fixed together by gluing, heat sealing or clipping.
- the flanges 13 and 16 can be respectively glued or heat-sealed on the flanges 3 b and 3 a , so as to ensure a good seal of the housing 1.
- the housing 1 therefore only consists of 5 parts: the flanges 3 a , 3 b , the strip 4 provided with openings 5 and the two elements 6 a , 6 b of the sleeve 6.
- These parts of simple shape can easily be obtained by molding a plastic, such as poly (vinyl chloride), which is inexpensive.
- the flanges can be thin, for example have a thickness of 2.5 mm, because the assembly obtained is stiffened by the sleeve 6 and by the strip 4.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à tracer une ligne sur un sol, notamment une ligne blanche sur un terrain de sport pour définir les contours de celui-ci, ou bien l'application de peinture sur sols ou chaussées et le boÃtier utilisé dans ce dispositif. Voir les documents CH-A-124 546 et FR-A-2 580 957.The present invention relates to a device intended for draw a line on a ground, in particular a white line on a ground to define the contours of it, or the application of paint on floors or pavements and the housing used in this device. See documents CH-A-124 546 and FR-A-2 580 957.
Ces lignes peuvent être tracées sur de nombreux types de sols, tels que le gazon naturel ou artificiel, le bitume, la terre battue ou autre. Elles sont généralement soumises aux intempéries et également à l'usure, et il est nécessaire de les retracer fréquemment.These lines can be drawn on many types of soils, such as natural or artificial turf, bitumen, clay or other. They are generally subjected to bad weather and also to wear, and it is necessary to trace them frequently.
Il est connu de tracer sur le sol une ligne blanche au moyen de chaux particulaire. On utilise alors un dispositif comportant une roue creuse munie d'ouvertures ou de fentes sur sa tranche en contact avec le sol. Ces roues sont remplies de chaux pour chaque usage par une trappe à partir de sacs qui doivent être stockés. Il est donc nécessaire d'avoir une roue en matériau solide, donc coûteux, de stocker des sacs de chaux et de remplir la roue creuse à partir du sac. Or, la chaux est peu résistante et les lignes blanches doivent être fréquemment retracées. En moyenne, ces lignes ne durent pas plus d'environ 10 jours.It is known to draw a white line on the ground by means of particulate lime. We then use a device comprising a wheel hollow provided with openings or slits on its edge in contact with floor. These wheels are filled with lime for each use by a hatch from bags to be stored. So it is necessary to have a wheel made of solid material, therefore expensive, to store bags of lime and fill the hollow wheel from the bag. Now, lime is not very resistant and the white lines must be frequently traced. On average, these lines do not last more than about 10 days.
Il est également connu d'utiliser pour tracer les lignes des peintures plus résistantes, qui sont généralement des peintures à base de latex de résine acrylique en phase aqueuse contenant une charge pulvérulente blanche, par exemple de la craie. Par suite de leur viscosité, ces peintures sont le plus souvent déposées par pulvérisation sous pression. Dans ce cas, la peinture peut être stockée sous forme de bombe aérosol mais le conditionnement est alors coûteux. Il est également possible d'utiliser un matériel comportant un compresseur mais alors l'investissement en matériel est élevé. De plus, ce matériel ne peut pas être manipulé par une main-d'oeuvre inexpérimentée. La plupart des municipalités, des établissements ou des associations gérant les terrains de sport n'ont financièrement ni la possibilité de faire de tels investissements ni la possibilité d'utiliser un spécialiste.It is also known to use to draw the lines of more resistant paints, which are usually paints based of acrylic resin latex in aqueous phase containing a filler white powder, for example chalk. As a result of their viscosity, these paints are most often deposited by spraying under pressure. In this case, the paint can be stored as aerosol can but packaging is expensive. It is also possible to use equipment with a compressor but then the investment in equipment is high. In addition, this material cannot be handled by inexperienced labor. The most municipalities, establishments or associations managing sports fields have neither the financial means nor the possibility of such investments or the possibility of using a specialist.
Il y avait donc un besoin de disposer, pour tracer les lignes blanches sur les terrains de sport, d'un matériel simple, facile à manipuler par une main-d'oeuvre non qualifiée et ne nécessitant pas d'investissement coûteux.So there was a need to have, to draw the lines white on sports fields, simple equipment, easy to handle by unskilled labor and do not require expensive investment.
Selon la présente invention, le problème ci-dessus a été résolu en stockant une peinture dans des boÃtiers cylindriques que l'on utilise ensuite, en les fixant en rotation sur un manche, comme roues pour tracer les lignes ; les boÃtiers cylindriques servent donc au stockage de la peinture et servent de roue pour le tracé de la ligne ; ils sont jetés ensuite lorsqu'ils sont vides.According to the present invention, the above problem has been solved by storing a paint in cylindrical boxes that we then uses, by fixing them in rotation on a handle, as wheels to draw the lines; the cylindrical housings are therefore used for paint storage and serve as a wheel for drawing the line; they are then discarded when empty.
Dans ces conditions, le boÃtier, qui ne sert que pour l'application d'une dose de peinture, peut être fabriqué en matière plastique relativement mince, voire en métal léger comme le fer blanc, et il est, par conséquent, peu coûteux. D'autre part, le seul investissement à long terme est le manche qui peut être constitué en majeure partie par un simple tube métallique ou en plastique creux et qui est, par conséquent, également peu coûteux. De plus, la fixation du manche sur le boÃtier est simple et peut être effectuée par une main-d'oeuvre non qualifiée.In these conditions, the housing, which is only used for the application of a dose of paint, can be made of material relatively thin plastic, or even light metal like tinplate, and it is, therefore, inexpensive. On the other hand, the only long-term investment is the handle that can be made up of mostly by a simple metal or hollow plastic tube and which is therefore also inexpensive. In addition, fixing the handle on the housing is simple and can be performed by labor unqualified.
La présente invention a, par conséquent, pour objet un dispositif destiné à tracer une ligne sur un sol, ce dispositif comportant un manche qui permet d'assurer la manoeuvre d'un boÃtier cylindrique en forme de roue, susceptible de rotation autour de son axe, ledit boÃtier comportant deux flasques en forme de disques coaxiaux, parallèles entre eux, de dimensions identiques, les deux flasques étant reliés entre eux à leur périphérie par une bande de largeur constante, munie d'ouvertures régulièrement distribuées, caractérisé par le fait que le boÃtier est fixé de façon amovible au manche grâce à un élément de fixation du manche, ledit élément de fixation pénétrant axialement dans un manchon qui relie des ouvertures circulaires centrales des deux flasques, ledit boÃtier contenant de la peinture et comportant un moyen escamotable pour obturer les ouvertures de la bande avant usage pour le stockage de la peinture, ledit boÃtier servant de roue pour le tracé de la ligne en usage et constituant un élément jetable après usage. Ces disques peuvent avoir une forme circulaire ou ovale.The present invention therefore relates to a device for drawing a line on a ground, this device comprising a handle which ensures the operation of a cylindrical housing in the form of a wheel, capable of rotation about its axis, said housing comprising two flanges in the form of coaxial discs, parallel to each other, of identical dimensions, the two flanges being linked together at their periphery by a strip of constant width, provided with regularly distributed openings, characterized by the fact that the housing is removably attached to the handle with an element for fixing the handle, said fixing element penetrating axially in a sleeve that connects central circular openings of the two flasks, said housing containing paint and comprising a means retractable to close the band openings before use for storing the paint, said housing serving as a wheel for drawing the line in use and constituting a disposable element after use. These discs can have a circular or oval shape.
Dans une première variante, la bande est recouverte sur sa face extérieure d'une bande adhésive pelable qui constitue le moyen escamotable d'obturation pour permettre le stockage et la manipulation du boÃtier avant utilisation.In a first variant, the strip is covered on its outer face of a peelable adhesive strip which constitutes the means retractable shutter to allow storage and handling of the case before use.
Dans une autre variante, le boÃtier est constitué de deux demi-boÃtiers emboÃtés l'un dans l'autre, chaque demi-boÃtier étant constitué d'un flasque et d'une bande de largeur constante reliée à la périphérie interne du flasque et munie d'ouvertures régulièrement distribuées, l'une des bandes ayant des dimensions inférieures alors que l'autre bande a des dimensions supérieures pour venir s'emboÃter sur la bande de dimensions inférieures, les deux demi-boÃtiers étant aptes à pivoter l'un par rapport à l'autre pour servir de moyen escamotable d'obturation, entre une position de service dans laquelle les ouvertures de chaque bande sont superposées pour laisser passer la peinture en vu du traçage d'une ligne, et une position de stockage dans laquelle les ouvertures des deux bandes sont décalées pour obturer le passage de la peinture vers l'extérieur du boÃtier.In another variant, the housing consists of two half-housings nested one inside the other, each half-housing being consisting of a flange and a strip of constant width connected to the internal periphery of the flange and provided with openings regularly distributed, one of the bands having smaller dimensions while the other strip has larger dimensions to come to fit on the strip of smaller dimensions, the two half-housings being able to pivot relative to each other to serve as a retractable means shutter, between a service position in which the openings of each strip are superimposed to let the paint pass in view tracing a line, and a storage position in which the openings of the two strips are offset to close the passage of the paint to the outside of the case.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le manche est constitué par un élément rectiligne portant, au voisinage d'une de ses extrémités, l'élément de fixation, ledit élément de fixation faisant un angle, de préférence un angle droit, avec l'élément rectiligne. De préférence, l'élément de fixation comporte, à son extrémité opposée au manche, un doigt rabattable susceptible de se rabattre contre un flasque du boÃtier pour fixer le boÃtier sur le manche.According to a preferred embodiment, the handle is constituted by a rectilinear element bearing, in the vicinity of one of its ends, the fastener, said fastener making a angle, preferably a right angle, with the rectilinear element. Of preferably, the fixing element comprises, at its end opposite to the handle, a folding finger capable of being folded against a flange of the case to fix the case on the handle.

Avantageusement, le manche comporte un bras de support fixé à l'élément rectiligne et muni d'un racloir amovible qui est apte à venir racler la bande du boÃtier en service.Advantageously, the handle comprises a support arm fixed to the rectilinear element and provided with a removable scraper which is capable of come scrape the strip from the box in service.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le manche comporte un pied fixé à l'élément rectiligne et muni à son extrémité inférieure d'au moins une roulette, pour servir de point d'appui lorsque le boÃtier est soulevé pour tracer une ligne à traits interrompus.According to another characteristic, the handle comprises a base fixed to the rectilinear element and provided at its lower end with minus a caster, to serve as a fulcrum when the case is lifted to draw a dashed line.
La présente invention a également pour objet le boÃtier jetable utilisé dans le dispositif ci-dessus défini, tel qu'il est commercialisé, en tant que charge monodose ou multidose destinée audit dispositif.The present invention also relates to the housing disposable used in the device defined above, as it is marketed, as a single or multi-dose filler intended said device.
Ce boÃtier comporte deux flasques en forme de disques coaxiaux, parallèles entre eux, de dimensions identiques et munis chacun d'une ouverture circulaire centrale, les deux flasques étant reliés entre eux, d'une part, à leur périphérie par une bande de largeur constante, munie d'ouvertures régulièrement distribuées et, d'autre part, par un manchon joignant le bord des ouvertures circulaires centrales des deux flasques, le boÃtier comportant un moyen escamotable pour obturer les ouvertures de la bande avant usage pour le stockage de la peinture, ledit boÃtier contenant une dose de peinture. De préférence, la bande munie d'ouvertures est, sur sa face intérieure et/ou extérieure selon la facilité et le type de technique employée pour la production, doublée d'une bande en matériau filtrant, cette bande étant, de préférence, une bande de non-tissé. Cette bande de matériau filtrant est choisie de façon à contrôler le débit de peinture. Pour certains types d'applications, cette bande en matériau filtrant peut être omise.This case has two flanges in the form of discs coaxial, mutually parallel, of identical dimensions and provided each with a central circular opening, the two flanges being interconnected, on the one hand, at their periphery by a strip of width constant, with regularly distributed openings and, on the other part, by a sleeve joining the edge of the circular openings central of the two flanges, the housing comprising a means retractable to close the band openings before use for paint storage, said housing containing a dose of paint. Preferably, the strip provided with openings is, on its inner face and / or exterior depending on the facility and the type of technique used for production, lined with a strip of filter material, this strip preferably being a strip of nonwoven. This strip of material filter is chosen to control the paint flow. For certain types of applications, this strip of filter material can be omitted.
De préférence, chaque flasque comporte à sa périphérie une rainure perpendiculaire au plan dudit flasque, tournée vers l'intérieur du boÃtier, et ayant une largeur égale à l'épaisseur de la bande munie d'ouvertures de façon à permettre d'emboÃter le bord de la bande munie d'ouvertures dans ladite rainure.Preferably, each flange has at its periphery a groove perpendicular to the plane of said flange, facing inside the case, and having a width equal to the thickness of the strip provided with openings so as to allow the edge of the strip provided with openings in said groove.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le manchon est constitué de deux éléments. Un premier élément du manchon est constitué par une partie tubulaire ayant une longueur égale à la distance entre les surfaces extérieures des flasques et par une collerette qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe de la partie tubulaire et qui est munie d'une ouverture centrale. Le deuxième élément comporte une partie tubulaire qui est plus courte que la partie tubulaire du premier élément et qui a un diamètre externe égal au diamètre interne de la partie tubulaire du premier élément ainsi qu'une collerette, qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe de la partie tubulaire et comporte une ouverture centrale.According to a preferred embodiment, the sleeve is made up of two elements. A first element of the sleeve is consisting of a tubular part having a length equal to the distance between the outer surfaces of the flanges and by a flange which is perpendicular to the axis of the tubular part and which is provided with a central opening. The second element has a tubular part which is shorter than the tubular part of the first element and which has an external diameter equal to the internal diameter of the tubular part of the first element as well as a flange, which is perpendicular to the axis of the tubular part and has a central opening.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le deuxième élément du manchon est constitué par une partie tubulaire qui a un diamètre interne supérieur au diamètre externe de la partie tubulaire du premier élément, et par une collerette qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe de la partie tubulaire et comporte une ouverture centrale.In another embodiment, the second element of the sleeve is constituted by a tubular part which has an internal diameter greater than the external diameter of the tubular part of the first element, and by a collar which is perpendicular to the axis of the part tubular and has a central opening.
Avantageusement, le boÃtier comporte un flasque de renfort ajouré disposé sensiblement dans le plan moyen du boÃtier et relié, d'une part, à la périphérie interne de la bande et, d'autre part, au manchon qui traverse axialement une ouverture circulaire centrale du flasque de renfort.Advantageously, the housing includes a reinforcing flange openwork disposed substantially in the middle plane of the housing and connected, on the one hand, at the internal periphery of the strip and, on the other hand, at the sleeve which passes axially through a central circular opening of the reinforcement flange.
Selon une autre caractéristique, les ouvertures de la bande sont en forme de fentes allongées parallèles à l'axe du boÃtier. De préférence, chaque bande comporte deux séries de fentes formées de part et d'autre du plan moyen du boÃtier, les fentes d'une série étant disposées en quinconce par rapport aux fentes de l'autre série.According to another characteristic, the openings of the strip are in the form of elongated slots parallel to the axis of the housing. Of each strip preferably has two series of slots formed from on either side of the average plane of the case, the slots of a series being arranged in staggered rows with respect to the slots of the other series.

Comme visible sur la figure 1, le dispositif est constitué
d'un boÃtier jetable 1 et d'un manche 2, le boÃtier 1 étant monté en
rotation par rapport au manche 2. Le boÃtier 1 a une forme de roue. Il
est constitué de deux flasques de dimensions identiques 3a et 3b reliés
entre eux par une bande 4 munie d'ouvertures 5 régulièrement
distribuées et par un manchon 6. Les deux flasques 3a et 3b ont une
forme de disques et sont munis chacun d'une ouverture centrale 7a, 7b
de même dimension.As shown in Figure 1, the device consists of a
A la périphérie de chacun des flasques, se trouve une
collerette 8a, 8b disposée perpendiculairement au plan des flasques 3a,
3b. Dans cette collerette 8 est ménagée une rainure 9a, 9b
perpendiculaire au plan du flasque, tournée vers l'intérieur du boÃtier 1
et ayant une épaisseur telle que la bande 4 puisse y être insérée.At the periphery of each of the flanges, there is a
L'un des flasques 3a comporte une ouverture 10 fermée
par un bouchon 11, qui sert uniquement à la mise en place, en atelier,
de la peinture dans le boÃtier. Le bouchon 11 ne sera donc pas manipulé
par l'utilisateur du dispositif selon l'invention. Les deux flasques 3a, 3b
sont disposés parallèlement et coaxialement de façon que les ouvertures
des rainures 9a, 9b des collerettes 8a, 8b soient en vis-Ã -vis ; la bande
4 est insérée par ses bords longitudinaux dans les rainures 9a et 9b. La
bande 4 peut être fixée dans les rainures 9a, 9b par simple emboÃtage
mais, généralement, elle est fixée par collage ou thermocollage. Le tout
peut être réalisé aujourd'hui d'un seul ensemble au moyen du laser.One of the flanges 3 has an opening 10 closed by a
Le manchon 6 traverse les deux ouvertures 7a et 7b des
flasques 3a et 3b. Le manchon 6 est constitué de deux éléments 6a et
6b. Le premier élément 6b est constitué d'une partie tubulaire 12 ayant
un diamètre extérieur égal, au jeu nécessaire près,
au diamètre des ouvertures 7a, 7b des flasques 3a, 3b, et d'une
collerette 13 comportant une ouverture 14 de diamètre inférieur au
diamètre intérieur de la partie tubulaire 12. La partie tubulaire 12 a une
longueur égale à la distance entre les deux flasques 3a, 3b. Le
deuxième élément 6a comporte une partie tubulaire 15 de longueur
inférieure à celle de la partie tubulaire 12 de l'élément 6b et un
diamètre extérieur égal, au jeu nécessaire près, au diamètre intérieur de
la partie tubulaire 12 de l'élément 6b, de façon à pouvoir s'emboÃter
dans celui-ci ; une collerette 16 est fixée à l'une des extrémités de la
partie tubulaire 15. La collerette 16 est munie d'une ouverture 17 ayant
le même diamètre que l'ouverture 14 de la collerette 13.The
Lors du montage du boÃtier, l'élément 6b est introduit par
l'ouverture 7b des flasques 3a et 3b jusqu'Ã ce que la collerette 13 soit
en contact avec le flasque 3b. L'élément 6a est alors introduit dans
l'élément 6b jusqu'à ce que la collerette 16 vienne en contact avec le
flasque 3a. L'élément 6a et l'élément 6b peuvent être fixés entre eux
par collage, thermosoudage ou clipsage. Les collerettes 13 et 16
peuvent être respectivement collées ou thermocollées sur les flasques
3b et 3a, de façon à assurer une bonne étanchéité du boÃtier 1.When mounting the housing, the
Le boÃtier 1 n'est donc constitué que de 5 pièces : les
flasques 3a, 3b, la bande 4 munie d'ouvertures 5 et les deux éléments
6a, 6b du manchon 6. Ces pièces de forme simple peuvent facilement
être obtenues par moulage d'un plastique, tel que le poly(chlorure de
vinyle), qui est peu coûteux. D'autre part, les flasques peuvent être
minces, par exemple avoir une épaisseur de 2,5 mm, car l'ensemble
obtenu est rigidifié par le manchon 6 et par la bande 4.The
D'autres modes de réalisation peuvent cependant être envisagés. Par exemple, les deux flasques pourraient être moulés avec un élément du manchon, le manchon dans sa totalité pourrait être moulé avec l'un des flasques ou la bande perforée pourrait être moulée avec l'un des flasques. La technique actuelle permet même une réalisation totale au laser sans moule.Other embodiments can however be considered. For example, the two flanges could be molded with part of the sleeve, the entire sleeve could be molded with one of the flanges or the perforated strip could be molded with one of the flanges. The current technique even allows total laser realization without mold.
Pour permettre le stockage et la manipulation du boÃtier 1
avant utilisation, une bande adhésive pelable 18 est fixée sur la bande 4
munie d'ouvertures 5. Cette bande pelable 18 est enlevée avant
utilisation. Une bande de non-tissé 19 peut également être disposée sur
la face interne de la bande 4 munie d'ouvertures. Cette bande de non-tissé
19 est choisie de façon à contrôler la vitesse d'écoulement de la
peinture utilisée. Elle est, par exemple, fixée par des points de colle.To allow storage and handling of the
Lors de l'utilisation, un manche 2 est fixé sur le boÃtier 1.
Ce manche 2 est constitué d'une barre rectiligne 20 constituée par
exemple d'un tube creux en métal ou en matière plastique. Il est, selon
le mode de réalisation représenté, munie à une de ses extrémités d'une
poignée 21 et à l'autre extrémité d'un élément de fixation
perpendiculaire 22. Cet élément de fixation 22 est assemblé sur la barre
20 mais il pourrait être simplement un élément coudé solidaire de ladite
barre 20. L'élément perpendiculaire 21 comporte à son extrémité un
doigt articulé 23 rabattable permettant de retenir le boÃtier sur son axe
de rotation au niveau du flasque 3b. Un moyen de fixation autre qu'un
doigt rabattable pourrait être envisagé, tel qu'une fixation par clavetage
par exemple. In use, a handle 2 is fixed to the
Les boÃtiers 1 contenant la peinture sont stockés. Lorsque
l'utilisateur désire tracer une ligne, il fixe le manche 2 sur un boÃtier 1
en introduisant l'élément de fixation 22 dans le manchon 6 et en
rabattant le doigt 23. Il enlève alors la bande adhésive pelable 18
disposée sur la bande 4 munie d'ouvertures et il fait rouler le boÃtier 1
sur le sol. La peinture sort à travers la bande de non-tissé 19 par les
ouvertures 5 et, se dépose sur le sol pour tracer la ligne. Lorsque le
boÃtier 1 est vide, le manche 2 peut être démonté et le boÃtier 1 peut
être jeté. Le manche 2 est monté ultérieurement sur un nouveau boÃtier
1 muni de peinture pour poursuivre le tracé de la ligne sur le sol.The
Sur les figures 4 à 6, les éléments identiques ou analogues aux éléments du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3 porteront les mêmes chiffres de référence augmentés d'une centaine.In FIGS. 4 to 6, identical or analogous elements elements of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3 will bear the same reference figures increased by a hundred.
Comme visible sur la figure 4, le dispositif selon un
deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention est constitué d'un boÃtier
jetable 101 et d'un manche 102. Le boÃtier 101 a une forme de roue. Il
est constitué de deux flasques de dimensions identiques 103a et 103b
reliés entre eux par une bande 104 munie d'ouvertures en forme de
fentes allongées 105. La bande 104 comporte deux séries de fentes 105
de part et d'autre du plan moyen P du boÃtier 101, les fentes d'une série
étant disposées en quinconce par rapport aux fentes de l'autre série.As shown in Figure 4, the device according to a second embodiment of the invention consists of a
En se référant plus particulièrement à la figure 5, on voit que les
deux flasques 103a et 103b sont reliés entre eux par un manchon 106
qui traverse axialement des ouvertures centrales 107a et 107b formées
dans chaque flasque (voir également la variante sur la figure 6). De
préférence, le manchon 106 est constitué de deux éléments tubulaires
106a et 106b. Le premier élément 106a comporte une collerette 116,
qui est destinée à venir en appui contre la face externe du flasque 103a.
Le deuxième élément 106b comporte une partie tubulaire 112 dont le
diamètre externe est égal au jeu nécessaire près, au diamètre intérieur
de la partie tubulaire 115 de l'élément 106a, de façon à pouvoir
s'emboÃter dans celui-ci, et le deuxième élément 106b comporte
également une collerette 113 qui vient en appui contre la face externe
du flasque 103b. Le manchon 106 sert de moyeu pour le boÃtier 101
utilisé comme roue. Referring more particularly to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the two
Le boÃtier 101 comporte un flasque de renfort ajouré 130, qui est
disposé sensiblement dans le plan moyen P du boÃtier 101 entre les
deux flasques 103a et 103b. Le flasque de renfort 130 est relié par sa
périphérie à la bande 104 et comporte une ouverture circulaire en son
centre pour sa liaison sur le manchon 106.The
Dans la variante de la figure 6, le boÃtier 101 est constitué de
deux demi-boÃtiers 101a et 101b qui sont emboÃtés l'un dans l'autre. Le
demi-boÃtier 101a comporte le flasque 103a et une bande dite interne
104a qui est munie de fentes 105a analogue aux fentes 105 précitées.
L'élément de manchon 106a traverse l'ouverture 107a du flasque 103a.
Le flasque de renfort 130 s'étend entre l'élément de manchon 106a et la
surface interne de la bande interne 104a.In the variant of Figure 6, the
L'autre demi-boÃtier 101b comporte le flasque 103b et une bande
dite externe 104b de diamètre intérieur égal au jeu nécessaire près au
diamètre externe de la bande 104a du demi-boÃtier 101a, de façon que
la bande 104b puisse s'emboÃter sur la bande 104a, en raison de la
présence du flasque de renfort 130 à l'intérieur du volume défini par la
bande 104a. La bande 104b est également munie de fentes 105b
identiques aux fentes 105a. Toutefois, on pourrait prévoir en variante
un agencement différent des fentes 105b et 105a. L'élément de
manchon 106b est fixé au flasque 103b du demi-boÃtier 101b et vient
s'emboÃter à l'intérieur de l'élément de manchon 106a précité. On a
indiqué sur la figure 6 par la flèche F le sens d'emboÃtement des deux
demi-boÃtiers. L'extrémité libre de la bande 104a est destinée Ã
s'emboÃter dans une gorge 131 formée sur la face interne du flasque
103b. Les bandes interne 104a et externe 104b forment ensemble la
bande 104 précitée.The other half-
Les deux demi-boÃtiers 101a et 101b sont aptes à pivoter
axialement l'un par rapport à l'autre, de manière à aligner ou
désaligner les fentes 105a et 105b, pour placer le boÃtier respectivement
dans une position d'ouverture/fermeture pour la délivrance de la
peinture. Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur la figure 6, il
suffit de pivoter les boÃtiers l'un par rapport à l'autre, d'une distance
correspondant à la moitié de l'espacement entre deux fentes. Toutefois,
si les répartitions des fentes 105a et 105b ne sont pas identiques, on
pourrait prévoir une disposition permettant de régler progressivement
le nombre de fentes servant à la distribution de la peinture vers
l'extérieur, pour tracer une ligne.The two half-
On comprend ainsi que, dans la variante de la figure 6, il n'est
plus nécessaire d'utiliser une bande pelable adhésive pour obturer les
ouvertures du boÃtier. En revanche, dans la variante de la figure 5, une
bande pelable adhésive du type de la bande 18 de la figure 1 peut être
utilisée.It is thus understood that, in the variant of FIG. 6, it is not
no more need to use an adhesive peel tape to seal the
housing openings. On the other hand, in the variant of FIG. 5, a
adhesive peel-off tape of the type of
Le manche 102 est constitué d'une barre sensiblement rectiligne
120 qui est formé par exemple d'un tube creux en métal ou en matière
plastique. La barre rectiligne 120 se prolonge à une extrémité par une
portion recourbée sensiblement à angle droit 122 qui est destinée à être
insérée à travers les ouvertures 117 et 114 des éléments 106a et 106b
du manchon 106 précité. La partie coudée 122 du manche 102
comporte à son extrémité libre un trou 123 pour le passage d'une
goupille de fixation, et à son extrémité proche de la partie rectiligne
120, une rondelle de butée 132 soudée à la barre. Lorsque le manche
102 est fixé au boÃtier 101, la rondelle de butée 132 vient en appui
contre la collerette 116 du manchon 106, et la goupille vient en appui
contre la collerette 113 à l'autre extrémité du manchon 106.The
La barre rectiligne 120 se prolonge à son autre extrémité par une
partie 121 coudée en sens opposé à la partie coudée 122. La partie
coudée 121 sert de poignée pour un utilisateur droitier. Pour un
utilisateur gaucher, il suffit de monter le manche 102 de l'autre côté du
boÃtier 101.The
Le manche 102 comporte un bras en porte-à -faux 133 qui est fixé
à la barre rectiligne 120, de manière à s'étendre sensiblement
horizontalement. Sur le bras 133, est emmanché un racloir amovible
134 qui est destiné à venir en appui contre la bande 104 en service,
pour décoller les éventuels déchets végétaux qui s'y sont déposés et
pourraient nuire au tracé régulier d'une ligne. Une mollette de serrage
135 est prévue sur le bras 133, pour fixer la position angulaire relative
du racloir 134 par rapport à la bande 104.The
Dans une autre variante, le manche 102 peut comporter un pied
sensiblement vertical 140 qui est fixé à la barre rectiligne 120 et qui
comporte à son extrémité inférieure un piètement recourbé à angle
droit, pour la liaison avec deux roulettes 141. Le pied 140 avec les
roulettes 141 servent de point d'appui au manche 102, lorsque l'on
souhaite soulever le boÃtier 101 pour tracer une ligne à traits
interrompus sur le sol.In another variant, the
On peut également prévoir pour le boÃtier 101, une boÃte de
stockage de protection, qui peut servir de boÃte poubelle pour la roue
salie par le traçage, après usage. Cette boÃte poubelle est constituée de
préférence en matériau très léger et biodégradable.We can also provide for the
Lorsque l'on utilise comme peinture un gel de traçage plus
dense, il n'est plus nécessaire d'utiliser de matière spongieuse ou en
fibre non-tissée sur la circonférence de la bande 104, comme visible
sur les figures 4 Ã 6.When using a tracing gel more
dense, it is no longer necessary to use spongy material or
non-woven fiber on the circumference of the
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec des modes de réalisation particuliers, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.Although the invention has been described in connection with modes of particular realization, it is quite obvious that it is not there at all limited and that it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations if these fall within the scope of the invention.
