Definitions
- the present invention relates to carriages which are more particularly mounted on doors or windows for sliding on rails or the like, for example French windows in some homes, which are commonly referred to as sliding doors, and relates more particularly to sliding carriages of the type comprising a body, means of connection to said sliding, means of bearings.
- the carts of the prior art comprise at least two rollers, rollers, or the like, and more generally two, rotatably mounted on a yoke which is itself linked to the body of carriage with at least one degree of freedom, the body being fully connected sliding in an appropriate housing thereof by means of screw-type connection blocking.
- a sliding carriage which has a body formed of first part, for example substantially cylindrical hollow, open on two sides opposite, and a yoke generally shaped into a second substantially shaped piece of "U", this second part being mounted in rotation relative to the body while being located in the hollow part of it.
- the fork generally supports two casters which are rotatably mounted on the second part by means of an axis so that they can emerge from the body and the yoke to be able to cooperate with a rail or the like.
- it is the body which is fixed to the slide, and immobile with respect to the latter, the fork retaining a degree of freedom in rotation to allow the two casters to be always in perfect contact with the rail.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to produce an improved carriage for which, moreover, overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above. More precisely, the invention relates to a sliding carriage, comprising a one-piece body, means for connecting the body to the slide, bearing means comprising at least first and second free rollers rotating around first and second axes of rotation respectively, articulation means making it possible to confer on the body a connection with at least one degree of freedom with the sliding, said articulation means comprising a support positioned on an upper part of the body, said support being consisting of at least two points intended to be in contact with the sliding, said at minus two points defining a straight range parallel to said at least prime and second axes of rotation, release means making it possible to give the body a travel determined in the slide around said straight span, said carriage being characterized in that said one-piece body comprises a cross section carrying the hinge means, complementary to a cross section of the slide in which said body is intended to be placed, said cross section being able to cooperate with said connecting means to allow a translational
- the body of the trolley according to the present invention is intended to be linked to the slide in operating position with at least one degree of freedom, thereby eliminating the yoke of the carts of the prior art as described above.
- the cost of production of a trolley according to the invention is thus greatly reduced by the elimination of a part expensive whose function has been advantageously transferred to the carriage body itself.
- the rollers or casters will remain permanently in contact with the rail on which the sliding is intended to move, by the mobility of the carriage body linked to the sliding according to at least one degree of freedom.
- the trolley according to the invention advantageously allows a fast connection and of a reduced cost in the sliding, thanks to a connection in translation obtained in the sliding by the cooperation of a complementary cross section of that of the sliding with the connecting means.
- said means of connection to said sliding include at least one needle screw acting on the slide at the contact of said straight range.
- the needle screw allows, by reaction during its screwing which puts it under pressure against the sliding, a contact from the lower part of the body support cross section against the sliding.
- Such immobilization of the carriage is provided for example for the transport of the slide so that the carriages do not move unintentionally in the profile in which they are inserted.
- a carriage thus immobilized may have a certain resistance to its deflection in rotation around the support by friction of the part lower of the support section on the slide; however, when setting up the sliding on its sliding rail, the weight of the sliding will cause more penetration deep of the needle screw in the sliding thus releasing slightly and sufficiently the lower part of the body support section, reducing or canceling friction to improve the rotation of the body when sliding around the straight span.
- the cross sections of said body taken on either side of the support section towards the ends of said body, respectively, are of a decreasing height symmetrically to a median plane horizontal.
- said release means are defined by two first and two second inclined planes starting from said section support.
- said first and second inclined planes respectively form with said horizontal plane, an angle belonging to the interval] 0 °, 5 °].
- said at least first and second axes of rotation are fixed relative to said body.
- said rectilinear bearing is positioned at equal distance between said first and second axes of rotation.
- said at least first and second axes of rotation are defined respectively by a first and a second fixed shafts respectively to said body by crimping means at least partially reversible allowing disassembly of said first and second rollers.
- FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a sliding carriage according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents a side view of the carriage of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 represents a sectional view along line I-I of the carriage of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 represents a sectional view along line II-II of the carriage of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 represents a top view of an element of the carriage of FIG. 1.
- Figure 6 shows a sectional view along line III-III, of the carriage element of Figure 5, in which the crimping means have been shown.
- FIG. 7 represents a sectional view along line II-II of the carriage of FIG. 1, mounted in a slide itself placed on a rail.
- the slide carriage 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 7 comprises a body 2, connecting means 10 to the slide 1, rolling means 3, 30, means hinge 4 allowing body 2 to be connected to at least one degree of freedom with the sliding.
- the carriage is mounted on the lower cross member of the sliding 1 shown in thin lines, to allow movement of the sliding by bearing on a rail 22.
- the slide 1 is provided in any known manner with a housing 25 formed in the lower profile 21 of the slide 1, the housing 25 being in general section constant over the entire length of the slide to allow a positioning of the carriages, generally two carriages, distributed appropriately over the sliding length.
- the means of link 10 make it possible to avoid any sliding of the carriages in the housing 25.
- the means 10 for connecting the carriage to the slide 1 must allow the articulation means 4 to give the body 2 a connection to a degree of freedom at least with the sliding 1.
- the bearing means comprise a first 3 and a second 30 rollers, free rotating around a first 5 and a second 6 axes of rotation respectively, these the latter being fixed relative to the body 2 and defined respectively by a first 23 and a second 24 shafts fixed respectively to the body 2 by crimping means 12, 13 partially reversible allowing disassembly of the first 3 and second rollers 30, as will be explained later.
- the body 2 of the carriage is made up of a monobloc element advantageously made up of a single material preferably obtained from a metal profile, such as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
- the body 2 advantageously adopts a general shape cylindrical hollow and comprises a central part 26 from which extend from one side and the other two wings 27 and 28, each carrying a roller, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the vertical forces exerted by the slide 1, in particular by its weight, are therefore taken up by the rollers 3, 30, the wings 27 and 28, and the central part 26 carrying the means hinge 4 as will be explained later.
- Each wing 27 and 28 consists of two arms 27a, 27b, and 28a, 28b, respectively, advantageously allowing mounting in the yoke of the roller, as shown in Figure 1 for example.
- each wing 27, 28, located substantially at the ends 19 and 20 of the body 2 are connected by ribs 29, 31 respectively in order to give the body 2 good rigidity and a correct maintenance of the rollers 3, 30.
- the ribs 29 and 31 may be hollowed out in their central part and above the rail on which is intended to roll the carriage, if necessary.
- the central part 26, as well as the ribs 29 and 31 of the end of the body 2 extend laterally and symmetrically advantageously at beyond the arms 27a, 27b, and 28a, 28b, to a length complementary to the width of the housing 25 of the slide 1 so as to advantageously ensure lateral retention of the carriage in the sliding housing.
- An appropriate minimum clearance is however respected so that the carriage can slide into the housing 25 of the slide 1 when positioning of the carriage before its connection to the slide, and can allow the means hinge 4 to operate.
- the central part 26 and the ribs 29 and 31 of the end of the body 2 also advantageously extend laterally beyond the arms in order to allow easy adaptation of the trolley according to the invention according to the different widths of sliding used, by an adjustment as described above of the lengths of the part central 26 and ribs 29 and 31 to the width of the sliding housing to which it is intended.
- the articulation means advantageously comprise a support 4 positioned on a upper part 11 of the body 2, and the carriage comprises release means 7, 8 from on either side of the support 4 making it possible to give the body 2 a determined clearance in sliding 1 around this support.
- the support 4 is constituted by a rectilinear bearing 9 parallel or substantially parallel to the first 5 and second 6 axes of rotation of the two rollers 3, 30, and positioned at equal distance between the first and second axes of rotation.
- the support constituting the articulation means 4 may consist of at least two points (not shown) formed on the upper surface of the carriage body and appearing a straight span on the right generated by these two points.
- the body 2 is thus articulated in the sliding advantageously according to a degree of freedom, a rotation of substantially horizontal axis around the straight range 9. So that this rotation is possible, the body 2 advantageously has clearances 7 and 8 of preferably symmetrical on either side of the bearing 9, allowing freedom in rotation greater than 0 ° and preferably less than or equal to 5 °, preferably equal to approximately 1 °, of on either side of a vertical plane passing through the bearing 9.
- the release means 7 and 8 can advantageously be constituted by a first 15 and a second 16 inclined planes starting from support 4 and forming respectively with a horizontal plane 14, an angle ⁇ belonging to the interval] 0 °, 5 °].
- the release means can be obtained in any other way known, for example by an upper surface of the body 2 adopting any suitable form a clearance for the rotation of the body around the support 4, for example a surface horizontal plane (not shown) located at a level lower than that of support 4 on the central part 26 which could for example be formed in relief on said flat surface horizontal.
- the body 2 advantageously comprises a cross section 17 carrying the hinge means, complementary to a cross section 18 of the housing 25 of the sliding 1 in which the body 2 is intended to be placed, the cross sections of the body 2, taken on either side of the support section 17 towards the ends 19, 20 of the body, respectively, being of a decreasing height symmetrically to a plane horizontal median 14.
- the supporting section 17 complementary to that 18 of the housing 25 in the slide 1 allows, thanks to the connecting means 10, to prevent sliding of the carriage in the housing 25, by partial immobilization of the central part 26 of the body 2 in slide 1, as will be explained later.
- the sliding linkage means 1 advantageously comprise a needle screw 10 acting on the slide at the articulation means 4.
- the needle screw 10 is placed vertically in the central part 26 of the body 2, in order to act on the slide by screwing.
- Needle screw head can be accessed with any known gripping means, of the hexagon wrench type or the like, from below the body 2, to allow by creating by screwing an imprint in the upper part of the sliding, immobilizing, in particular substantially vertically the central part 26 of the body by reaction and adhesion in the sliding 1. It should be noted that this immobilization may be only partial depending on the tightening force of the needle screw, in allowing the rotation with friction of the central lower part of the body in the streamlined.
- Several trolleys according to the invention can thus be blocked or partially immobilized in a slide during transport for example.
- the decreasing sections of the body 2 towards its ends 19 and 20 respectively, allow in combination with the central part 26 of the body 2 comprising a section complementary to that 18 of the housing 25 of the slide 1, to provide the clearances 7 and 8 necessary for the rotation of the carriage in the slide.
- the body 2 thus adopts a generally symmetrical external contour relative to the horizontal median plane 14 passing through the axes 5 and 6 of rollers, when these the latter have the same outer diameter.
- the shafts 23 and 24 of the rollers 3, 30 are respectively completely connected to the body 2 by crimping, as appears more particularly in Figure 6, and will explained in detail below.
- the body 2 has on the inner face of each arm 27a, 27b, 28a, 28b a vertical groove in which is inserted the corresponding end of the corresponding tree.
- the fixing by crimping of the second shaft 24 will be described, it being understood that the first shaft 23 is fixed also by crimping in a similar manner.
- the tree 24 has been shown in dotted lines for a better understanding of the binding.
- the shaft 24 is immobilized upwards in the grooves 35a, 35b respectively produced in the arms 28a, 28b, by means of two upper stops 36a and 36b acting respectively on each of the ends of the shaft 24.
- the stops 36a and 36b are for example produced by deformation of the wall of the corresponding arm constituting the bottom of groove, by punching or the like, in order to form towards the inside of each arm a projection forming a stopper on which the tree can rest, for example as shown in Figure 6.
- the upper stops 36a and 36b will be large enough and solid to support the weight part of the slide which acts on the shaft 24.
- the shaft 24 is then placed in abutment on the upper stops 36a and 36b, then at each end of the shaft 24 and under the latter, two lower stops 37a, 37b are made on the arms 28a, 28b respectively, in order to immobilize and crimp the shaft in translation, and also preferably in rotation, in the grooves 35a and 35b.
- the lower stops 37a, 37b are produced for example in the same way as the upper stops 36a and 36b, with the difference that the lower stops are advantageously smaller and less solid because they do not have to support load sensitive and must be able to be removed by crushing or dulling, during a traction down on the roller or on the axis of the latter, in order to ensure the replacement of this or these, if applicable.
- Each lower stop 37a, 37b could for example be consisting of two light punches placed close to each other.
- the upper and lower stops at the ends of the first 23 and the second 24 shafts as described above constitute the crimping means 12, 13 of the first and second trees respectively.
- Each roller or roller will preferably be mounted on its shaft by means of a bearing in order to significantly reduce friction, for example a bearing with needles 38 as shown in Figure 7.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les chariots qui sont plus particulièrement montés sur les portes ou fenêtres pour qu'elles coulissent sur des rails ou analogues, par exemple les portes-fenêtres de certaines habitations, qui sont dénommées sous le terme générique de coulissants, et se rapporte plus particulièrement aux chariots pour coulissants du type comprenant un corps, des moyens de liaison au dit coulissant, des moyens de roulements.The present invention relates to carriages which are more particularly mounted on doors or windows for sliding on rails or the like, for example French windows in some homes, which are commonly referred to as sliding doors, and relates more particularly to sliding carriages of the type comprising a body, means of connection to said sliding, means of bearings.
Les chariots de l'art antérieur comportent au moins deux roulettes, galets, ou analogue, et plus généralement deux, montés rotatifs sur une chape qui est elle-même lié au corps de chariot avec un degré de liberté au moins, le corps étant quant à lui lié de manière complète au coulissant dans un logement approprié de celui-ci par des moyens de liaison du genre vis de blocage.The carts of the prior art comprise at least two rollers, rollers, or the like, and more generally two, rotatably mounted on a yoke which is itself linked to the body of carriage with at least one degree of freedom, the body being fully connected sliding in an appropriate housing thereof by means of screw-type connection blocking.
Ainsi, on connaít déjà un chariot pour coulissant, qui comporte un corps formé d'une première pièce par exemple sensiblement cylindrique creuse ouverte sur deux côtés opposés, et une chape généralement conformée en une seconde pièce sensiblement en forme de "U", cette seconde pièce étant montée en rotation par rapport au corps en étant située dans la partie creuse de celui-ci. La chape supporte généralement deux roulettes qui sont montées rotatives sur la seconde pièce au moyen d'un axe de façon qu'elles puissent émerger du corps et de la chape pour pouvoir coopérer avec un rail ou analogue. Dans ces conditions, c'est le corps qui est fixé au coulissant, et immobile par rapport à ce dernier, la chape conservant un degré de liberté en rotation pour permettre aux deux roulettes d'être toujours en parfait contact avec le rail.Thus, we already know a sliding carriage, which has a body formed of first part, for example substantially cylindrical hollow, open on two sides opposite, and a yoke generally shaped into a second substantially shaped piece of "U", this second part being mounted in rotation relative to the body while being located in the hollow part of it. The fork generally supports two casters which are rotatably mounted on the second part by means of an axis so that they can emerge from the body and the yoke to be able to cooperate with a rail or the like. In these conditions, it is the body which is fixed to the slide, and immobile with respect to the latter, the fork retaining a degree of freedom in rotation to allow the two casters to be always in perfect contact with the rail.
Ce type de chariot fonctionne parfaitement. Toutefois, bien que perfectionné ou produit sous de multiples variantes, il est un organe présentant une certaine complexité due à sa double structure : un corps permettant une fixation sur le coulissant et une liaison à la chape, et une chape portant les roulettes, galets ou analogue qui est montée articulée sur le corps. D'où un coût de revient relativement élevé, et des possibilités de dysfonctionnement dû par exemple à un grippage de la chape sur le corps.This type of cart works perfectly. However, although perfected or produced in multiple variants, it is an organ presenting a certain complexity due to its double structure: a body allowing a fixing on the sliding and a connection to the yoke, and a yoke carrying the rollers, rollers or the like which is mounted articulated on the body. Hence a relatively high cost price, and the possibility of malfunction due to example to a screed seizure on the body.
La présente invention a ainsi pour but de réaliser un chariot perfectionné pour coulissants qui, en outre, pallie les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus. Plus précisément, l'invention se rapporte à un chariot pour coulissant, comprenant un corps monobloc, des moyens de liaison du corps au coulissant, des moyens de roulements comportant au moins un premier et un deuxième galets libres en rotation autour d'un premier et d'un deuxième axes de rotation respectivement, des moyens d'articulation permettant de conférer au corps une liaison à un degré de liberté au moins avec le coulissant, lesdits moyens d'articulation comprenant un appui positionné sur une partie supérieure du corps, ledit appui étant constitué par au moins deux points destinés à être en contact avec le coulissant, lesdits au moins deux points définissant une portée rectiligne parallèle aux dits au moins premier et deuxième axes de rotation, des moyens de dégagement permettant de conférer au corps un débattement déterminé dans le coulissant autour ladite portée rectiligne, ledit chariot étant caractérisé en ce que ledit corps monobloc comprend une section transversale portant les moyens d'articulation, complémentaire d'une section transversale du coulissant dans laquelle ledit corps est destiné à être placé, ladite section transversale étant apte à coopérer avec lesdits moyens de liaison pour permettre une liaison en translation dudit chariot dans ledit coulissant.The object of the present invention is therefore to produce an improved carriage for which, moreover, overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above. More precisely, the invention relates to a sliding carriage, comprising a one-piece body, means for connecting the body to the slide, bearing means comprising at least first and second free rollers rotating around first and second axes of rotation respectively, articulation means making it possible to confer on the body a connection with at least one degree of freedom with the sliding, said articulation means comprising a support positioned on an upper part of the body, said support being consisting of at least two points intended to be in contact with the sliding, said at minus two points defining a straight range parallel to said at least prime and second axes of rotation, release means making it possible to give the body a travel determined in the slide around said straight span, said carriage being characterized in that said one-piece body comprises a cross section carrying the hinge means, complementary to a cross section of the slide in which said body is intended to be placed, said cross section being able to cooperate with said connecting means to allow a translational connection of said carriage in said sliding.
Le corps du chariot selon la présente invention est destiné à être lié au coulissant en position de fonctionnement avec au moins un degré de liberté permettant ainsi de supprimer la chape des chariots de l'art antérieur tels que décrits précédemment. Le coût de production d'un chariot selon l'invention est ainsi fortement réduit par la suppression d'une pièce coûteuse dont la fonction a été avantageusement transférée au corps de chariot lui-même. Ainsi, les galets ou roulettes resteront en permanence en contact avec le rail sur lequel le coulissant est destiné à se déplacer, par la mobilité du corps de chariot lié au coulissant selon un degré de liberté au moins. Le chariot selon l'invention permet avantageusement une liaison rapide et d'un coût réduit dans le coulissant, grâce à une liaison en translation obtenue dans le coulissant par la coopération d'une section transversale complémentaire de celle du coulissant avec les moyens de liaison.The body of the trolley according to the present invention is intended to be linked to the slide in operating position with at least one degree of freedom, thereby eliminating the yoke of the carts of the prior art as described above. The cost of production of a trolley according to the invention is thus greatly reduced by the elimination of a part expensive whose function has been advantageously transferred to the carriage body itself. Thus, the rollers or casters will remain permanently in contact with the rail on which the sliding is intended to move, by the mobility of the carriage body linked to the sliding according to at least one degree of freedom. The trolley according to the invention advantageously allows a fast connection and of a reduced cost in the sliding, thanks to a connection in translation obtained in the sliding by the cooperation of a complementary cross section of that of the sliding with the connecting means.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits moyens de liaison au dit coulissant comprennent au moins une vis pointeau agissant sur le coulissant au niveau du contact de ladite portée rectiligne.According to an advantageous characteristic, said means of connection to said sliding include at least one needle screw acting on the slide at the contact of said straight range.
La vis pointeau permet, par réaction lors de son vissage qui la met en pression contre le coulissant, un contact de la partie inférieure de la section transversale d'appui du corps contre le coulissant. Une telle immobilisation du chariot est prévue par exemple pour le transport du coulissant afin que les chariots ne se déplacent pas intempestivement dans le profilé dans lequel ils sont insérés. Un chariot ainsi immobilisé peut présenter une certaine résistance à son débattement en rotation autour de l'appui par frottement de la partie inférieure de la section d'appui sur le coulissant ; cependant, lors de la mise en place du coulissant sur son rail de glissement, le poids du coulissant provoquera une pénétration plus profonde de la vis pointeau dans le coulissant libérant ainsi légèrement et suffisamment la partie inférieure de la section d'appui du corps, réduisant ou annulant ainsi les frottements pour améliorer la rotation du corps dans le coulissant autour de la portée rectiligne.The needle screw allows, by reaction during its screwing which puts it under pressure against the sliding, a contact from the lower part of the body support cross section against the sliding. Such immobilization of the carriage is provided for example for the transport of the slide so that the carriages do not move unintentionally in the profile in which they are inserted. A carriage thus immobilized may have a certain resistance to its deflection in rotation around the support by friction of the part lower of the support section on the slide; however, when setting up the sliding on its sliding rail, the weight of the sliding will cause more penetration deep of the needle screw in the sliding thus releasing slightly and sufficiently the lower part of the body support section, reducing or canceling friction to improve the rotation of the body when sliding around the straight span.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, les sections transversales dudit corps, prises de part et d'autre de la section d'appui en direction des extrémités dudit corps, respectivement, sont d'une hauteur décroissante symétriquement à un plan médian horizontal.According to another advantageous characteristic, the cross sections of said body, taken on either side of the support section towards the ends of said body, respectively, are of a decreasing height symmetrically to a median plane horizontal.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits moyens de dégagement sont définis par deux premiers et deux deuxièmes plans inclinés débutant à partir de ladite section d'appui.According to another advantageous characteristic, said release means are defined by two first and two second inclined planes starting from said section support.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de la précédente, lesdits premiers et deuxièmes plans inclinés forment respectivement avec ledit plan horizontal, un angle appartenant à l'intervalle ]0°, 5°].According to an advantageous characteristic of the previous one, said first and second inclined planes respectively form with said horizontal plane, an angle belonging to the interval] 0 °, 5 °].
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits au moins premier et deuxième axes de rotation sont fixes par rapport au dit corps.According to another advantageous characteristic, said at least first and second axes of rotation are fixed relative to said body.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, ladite portée rectiligne est positionnée à égale distance entre lesdits premier et deuxième axes de rotation.According to another advantageous characteristic, said rectilinear bearing is positioned at equal distance between said first and second axes of rotation.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits au moins premier et deuxième axes de rotation sont définis respectivement par un premier et un deuxième arbres fixés respectivement au dit corps par des moyens de sertissage au moins partiellement réversibles permettant un démontage desdits premier et deuxième galets.According to another advantageous characteristic, said at least first and second axes of rotation are defined respectively by a first and a second fixed shafts respectively to said body by crimping means at least partially reversible allowing disassembly of said first and second rollers.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaítront à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un exemple de mode de réalisation d'un chariot pour coulissant, selon l'invention, accompagnée des dessins annexés, exemple donné à titre d'illustration et sans qu'aucune interprétation restrictive de l'invention ne puisse en être tirée.Other characteristics and advantages will appear on reading the description which follows an example of embodiment of a sliding carriage, according to the invention, accompanied by the accompanying drawings, example given by way of illustration and without any restrictive interpretation of the invention cannot be drawn from it.

Comme représenté sur la figure 7, le chariot est monté sur la traverse inférieure du
coulissant 1 représenté en trait fin, afin de permettre le déplacement du coulissant par
roulement sur un rail 22. A cet effet, le coulissant 1 est muni de toute manière connue, d'un
logement 25 formé dans le profilé inférieur 21 du coulissant 1, le logement 25 étant en
général de section constante sur toute la longueur du coulissant afin de permettre un
positionnement des chariots, en général deux chariots, réparti de manière appropriée sur la
longueur du coulissant. Une fois les chariots correctement positionnés, les moyens de
liaison 10 permettent d'éviter tout glissement des chariots dans le logement 25. Comme cela

permettre aux moyens d'articulation 4 de conférer au corps 2 une liaison à un degré de
liberté au moins avec le coulissant 1.As shown in Figure 7, the carriage is mounted on the lower cross member of the
sliding 1 shown in thin lines, to allow movement of the sliding by
bearing on a
Les moyens de roulements comprennent un premier 3 et un deuxième 30 galets, libres
en rotation autour d'un premier 5 et d'un deuxième 6 axes de rotation respectivement, ces
derniers étant fixes par rapport au corps 2 et définis respectivement par un premier 23 et un
deuxième 24 arbres fixés respectivement au corps 2 par des moyens de sertissage 12, 13
partiellement réversible permettant un démontage des premier 3 et deuxième galets 30,
comme cela sera expliqué plus loin.The bearing means comprise a first 3 and a second 30 rollers, free
rotating around a first 5 and a second 6 axes of rotation respectively, these
the latter being fixed relative to the
Le corps 2 du chariot est constitué d'un élément monobloc avantageusement constitué
d'une matière unique de préférence obtenu à partir d'un profilé métallique, comme
représenté sur les figures 5 et 6. Le corps 2 adopte avantageusement une forme générale
cylindrique creuse et comprend une partie centrale 26 à partir de laquelle s'étendent de part
et d'autre deux ailes 27 et 28, portant chacune un galet, comme représenté sur la figure 1.
Les efforts verticaux exercés par le coulissant 1, notamment par son poids, sont donc repris
par les galets 3, 30, les ailes 27 et 28, et la partie centrale 26 portant les moyens
d'articulation 4 comme cela sera expliqué plus loin. Chaque aile 27 et 28 est constituée de
deux bras 27a, 27b, et 28a, 28b, respectivement, permettant avantageusement un montage
en chape du galet, comme représenté sur la figure 1 par exemple. Les extrémités des bras de
chaque aile 27, 28, situées sensiblement aux extrémités 19 et 20 du corps 2, sont reliés par
des nervures 29, 31 respectivement afin de conférer au corps 2 une bonne rigidité et un
maintien correct des galets 3, 30. Les nervures 29 et 31 pourront être évidées dans leur
partie centrale et au dessus du rail sur lequel est destiné à rouler le chariot, si nécessaire.The
Comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 5, la partie centrale 26, ainsi que les nervures 29
et 31 d'extrémité du corps 2 s'étendent latéralement et symétriquement avantageusement au
delà des bras 27a, 27b, et 28a, 28b, jusqu'à une longueur complémentaire de la largeur du
logement 25 du coulissant 1 de manière à assurer avantageusement un maintien latéral du
chariot dans le logement de coulissant. Un jeu minimum approprié est toutefois respecté
pour que le chariot puisse glisser dans le logement 25 du coulissant 1 lors du
positionnement du chariot avant sa liaison au coulissant, et puisse permettre aux moyens
d'articulation 4 de fonctionner. La partie centrale 26 et les nervures 29 et 31 d'extrémité du
corps 2 s'étendent en outre avantageusement latéralement au delà des bras afin de permettre
une adaptation aisée du chariot selon l'invention en fonction des différentes largeurs de
coulissant utilisé, par un ajustement tel que décrit ci-dessus des longueurs de la partie
centrale 26 et des nervures 29 et 31 à la largeur du logement de coulissant auquel il est
destiné.As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the
Les moyens d'articulation comprennent avantageusement un appui 4 positionné sur une
partie supérieure 11 du corps 2, et le chariot comprend des moyens de dégagement 7, 8 de
part et d'autre de l'appui 4 permettant de conférer au corps 2 un débattement déterminé dans
le coulissant 1 autour de cet appui. L'appui 4 est constitué par une portée rectiligne 9
parallèle ou sensiblement parallèle aux premier 5 et deuxième 6 axes de rotation des deux
galets 3, 30, et positionné à égale distance entre les premier et deuxième axes de rotation.The articulation means advantageously comprise a
Il est à noter que de manière alternative, l'appui constituant les moyens d'articulation 4 peut être constitué d'au moins deux points (non représentés) formés à la surface supérieure du corps de chariot et figurant une portée rectiligne par la droite engendrée par ces deux points.It should be noted that, alternatively, the support constituting the articulation means 4 may consist of at least two points (not shown) formed on the upper surface of the carriage body and appearing a straight span on the right generated by these two points.
Le corps 2 est ainsi articulé dans le coulissant avantageusement selon un degré de
liberté, une rotation d'axe sensiblement horizontal autour de la portée 9 rectiligne. Afin que
cette rotation soit possible, le corps 2 présente avantageusement des dégagements 7 et 8 de
préférence symétriques de part et d'autre de la portée 9, permettant une liberté en rotation
supérieure à 0° et de préférence inférieure ou égale à 5°, de préférence égale à 1° environ, de
part et d'autre d'un plan vertical passant par la portée 9.The
Les moyens de dégagement 7 et 8 peuvent avantageusement être constitués par un
premier 15 et un deuxième 16 plans inclinés débutant à partir de l'appui 4 et formant
respectivement avec un plan horizontal 14, un angle α appartenant à l'intervalle ]0°, 5°]. Il
est à noter que les moyens de dégagement peuvent être obtenus de toute autre manière
connue, par exemple par une surface supérieure du corps 2 adoptant toute forme appropriée
à un dégagement pour la rotation du corps autour de l'appui 4, par exemple une surface
plane horizontale (non représentée) située à un niveau inférieur à celui de l'appui 4 sur la
partie centrale 26 lequel pourrait par exemple être formé en relief sur ladite surface plane
horizontale.The release means 7 and 8 can advantageously be constituted by a
first 15 and a second 16 inclined planes starting from
Le corps 2 comprend de manière avantageuse une section transversale 17 portant les
moyens d'articulation, complémentaire d'une section transversale 18 du logement 25 du
coulissant 1 dans laquelle le corps 2 est destiné à être placé, les sections transversales du
corps 2, prises de part et d'autre de la section d'appui 17 en direction des extrémités 19, 20
du corps, respectivement, étant d'une hauteur décroissante symétriquement à un plan
médian horizontal 14. La section d'appui 17 complémentaire de celle 18 du logement 25
dans le coulissant 1 permet, grâce aux moyens de liaison 10, d'empêcher un glissement du
chariot dans le logement 25, par immobilisation partielle de la partie centrale 26 du corps 2
dans le coulissant 1, comme cela sera expliqué plus loin.The
Les moyens de liaison au coulissant 1 comprennent avantageusement une vis pointeau
10 agissant sur le coulissant au niveau des moyens d'articulation 4. Comme représenté sur
les figures 1, 2, et 3, la vis pointeau 10 est placée verticalement dans la partie centrale 26 du
corps 2, afin d'agir sur le coulissant par vissage. La tête de vis pointeau peut être accessible
avec tout moyen de préhension connu, de type clé six pans ou analogue, par le dessous du
corps 2, afin de permettre en créant par vissage une empreinte dans la partie supérieure du
coulissant, d'immobiliser, notamment de manière sensiblement verticale la partie centrale 26
du corps par réaction et adhérence dans le coulissant 1. Il est à noter que cette
immobilisation peut n'être que partielle selon la force de serrage de la vis pointeau, en
permettant la rotation avec frottements de la partie inférieure centrale du corps dans le
profilé. Plusieurs chariots selon l'invention peuvent être ainsi bloqués ou partiellement
immobilisés dans un coulissant lors des transports par exemple.The sliding linkage means 1 advantageously comprise a
Il est à noter que lorsque le chariot est en charge du poids du coulissant 1, c'est à dire
en appui sur la portée 9 du corps, la partie inférieure 39 de la partie centrale 26 du corps 2,
plus particulièrement de la section transversale 17, n'est plus en adhérence sur le coulissant
1 et ne frotte plus sur ce dernier ; le chariot n'est alors plus empêchée de glisser dans le
logement 25 du coulissant 1 que par la vis pointeau 10 créant, en coopération avec
l'empreinte formée par vissage dans le coulissant, un point d'immobilisation au niveau de la
portée rectiligne 9. Ainsi, la rotation du corps 2 est améliorée par diminution ou suppression
des frottements, selon des valeurs angulaires déterminées par les dégagements 7 et 8 comme
expliqué plus haut et ci-dessous, tout en permettant une immobilisation en translation du
chariot dans le coulissant.It should be noted that when the carriage is in charge of the weight of the
Les sections décroissantes du corps 2 vers ses extrémités 19 et 20 respectivement,
permettent en combinaison avec la partie centrale 26 du corps 2 comprenant une section
complémentaire de celle 18 du logement 25 du coulissant 1, de pourvoir aux dégagements 7
et 8 nécessaires à la rotation du chariot dans le coulissant. Comme plus particulièrement
montré sur les figures 2 et 3, le corps 2 adopte ainsi un contour extérieur général symétrique
par rapport au plan médian horizontal 14 passant par les axes 5 et 6 de galets, lorsque ces
derniers sont d'un diamètre extérieur de roulement identique.The decreasing sections of the
Les arbres 23 et 24 des galets 3, 30 sont liés respectivement de manière complète au
corps 2 par sertissage, comme cela apparaít plus particulièrement sur la figure 6, et sera
expliqué en détail ci-dessous. Le corps 2 présente sur la face intérieure de chaque bras 27a,
27b, 28a, 28b une rainure verticale dans laquelle est insérée l'extrémité correspondante de
l'arbre correspondant. Dans ce qui suit, avec l'aide de la figure 6, la fixation par sertissage
du deuxième arbre 24 va être décrite, étant entendu que le premier arbre 23 est fixé
également par sertissage de manière similaire. Sur les figures 5 et 6 l'arbre 24 a été
représenté en trait pointillé pour une meilleure compréhension de la fixation.The
L'arbre 24 est immobilisé vers le haut dans les rainures 35a, 35b respectivement
réalisées dans les bras 28a, 28b, aux moyens de deux butées supérieures 36a et 36b
agissant respectivement sur chacune des extrémités de l'arbre 24. Les butées 36a et 36b
sont par exemple réalisées par déformation de la paroi du bras correspondant constituant le
fond de rainure, par poinçonnage ou analogue, afin de former vers l'intérieur de chaque
bras une saillie formant butée sur laquelle pourra s'appuyer l'arbre, par exemple comme
représenté sur la figure 6. Les butées supérieures 36a et 36b seront suffisamment grandes et
solides pour supporter la partie de poids du coulissant qui s'exerce sur l'arbre 24.The
L'arbre 24 est ensuite mis en place en appui sur les butées supérieures 36a et 36b, puis
à chaque extrémité de l'arbre 24 et sous ce dernier, deux butées inférieures 37a, 37b sont
réalisées sur les bras 28a, 28b respectivement, afin d'immobiliser et sertir l'arbre en
translation, et également en rotation de manière préférentielle, dans les rainures 35a et 35b.
Les butées inférieures 37a, 37b sont réalisées par exemple de la même manière que les
butées supérieures 36a et 36b, à la différence près que les butées inférieures sont
avantageusement plus petites et moins solides car elles n'ont pas à supporter de charge
sensible et doivent pouvoir être supprimées par écrasement ou matage, lors d'une traction
vers le bas sur le galet ou sur l'axe de ce dernier, afin d'assurer le remplacement de ce ou
ces derniers, le cas échéant. Chaque butée inférieure 37a, 37b pourra par exemple être
constituée de deux poinçonnages légers placés à proximité l'un de l'autre.The
Les butées supérieure et inférieures aux extrémités du premier 23 et du deuxième 24
arbres telles que décrites ci-dessus constituent les moyens de sertissage 12, 13 des premier
et deuxième arbres respectivement.The upper and lower stops at the ends of the first 23 and the second 24
shafts as described above constitute the crimping
Chaque galet ou roulette sera de préférence monté sur son arbre par l'intermédiaire d'un
roulement afin de diminuer sensiblement les frottements, par exemple un roulement à
aiguilles 38 comme représenté sur la figure 7.Each roller or roller will preferably be mounted on its shaft by means of a
bearing in order to significantly reduce friction, for example a bearing with
