Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a assistance device for installing paneling on cleats.
  • the invention relates to a device installation assistance, on a wide strip paneling to be placed transversely to this cleat, this device comprising fixing to fix on the cleat, a rod selectively driven in translation relative to fasteners, parallel to the cleat, a pusher attached to one end of the rod, and of the members drive, integral with the fixing members, for drive the rod along a longitudinal axis of the rod, in a direction of travel for which the pusher precedes it.
  • the essential problem raised by the installation of paneling lies in the difficulty of applying to paneling, in two points spaced apart in length, forces balanced to guarantee the parallelism of the paneling posed, this difficulty being practically insurmountable when the installation is carried out by a single person.
  • Some of the known devices do not, however, aim to solve this problem but only to allow the application, on the paneling during installation, of a relatively high force with physical effort relatively moderate.
  • these are tilted in an opposite direction the direction of advancement of the pusher, so that they print in principle in the cleat wood when the force applied to the paneling during installation exceeds the resistance of the wood to the penetration of these nails.
  • the invention aims in particular to propose a device to assist with the installation of paneling which frees itself from this compromise, while presenting a great ease of use.
  • the device of the invention is essentially characterized by what the fasteners include a stirrup forming a vice, equipped with a screwable shim to adapt a transverse dimension of the stirrup to the width of the cleat, and a grasshopper to selectively fix the stirrup on the cleat.
  • the drives include a clamp essentially formed of a first and a second levers substantially perpendicular to the rod and respectively fixed and pivoting with respect to the stirrup, a mounted ratchet rocking around a first transverse axis fixed to the second lever and transmitting to the rod, in the direction of travel, a translational movement linked to the pivoting movement of the second lever, and a retaining pawl, mounted tilting around a second fixed transverse axis by relative to the stirrup, to prevent the rod a movement in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
  • the first lever is preferably shaped like a yoke and the second lever is pivotally mounted around a third transverse axis, the first lever then supporting the second and third axes transverse.
  • the rod which can be notched, has for example a substantially cylindrical outer surface, is advantageously notched only on a beach angularly limited of its external surface, and presents possibly a hook to train it easily rotated around its longitudinal axis, this rod can thus be disengaged from the pawls training and restraint.
  • the stirrup can have a base connecting first and second lateral branches, the first lateral branch carrying the grasshopper.
  • the grasshopper has a thrust axis which crosses the first lateral branch of the stirrup, while the screwable shim is carried by the axis of grasshopper thrust, the second branch of the stirrup carrying one or more claws facing the first branch.
  • the caliper, the clamp, and the pusher consist of cut and folded metal blanks, and one end of the first lever widens to form a plate which is made integral with an external face of the base of stirrup.
  • the pusher is preferably designed to form, at the end of the rod, an overturned shovel suitable for ensuring, if necessary, maintaining a template.
  • the pusher can also be removably mounted on the end of the rod to be interchangeable, this push button can then also take the form of a guide tab which extends at least partially into a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • the pusher has, for example, cutouts delimiting transverse bands, at least some of which are arranged on either side of the rod and one of which abuts on the end of the rod.
  • the end of the rod may have a shoulder taking place in one of the cutouts and elastically deforming at least one of the bands transverse when the pusher is threaded on the rod.
  • Figure 1 is a view in general perspective of a device conforming to the invention, in use, the distance between the template and paneling to be installed, as well as the distance between the paneling to be installed and the paneling already installed, having been dilated to allow better understanding of the figure.
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the device shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device shown in Figure 2, after assembly.
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of the equipped rod of a pusher of another type.
  • the invention relates to a device intended to facilitate the installation of paneling 2 on battens 1, the paneling being arranged transversely to the cleats.
  • This device generally comprises organs fixing 3 allowing it to be fixed on a cleat 1, a rod 4, a pusher 5 fixed, preferably so removable, at one end 40 of the rod 4, and drive members 6 for driving the rod 4 along a longitudinal axis X ( Figure 3) and in one direction of advancement A.
  • the drive members 6 are integral with the bodies fixing 3, which are themselves integral, in operation, the cleat 1, the rod being driven in translation along this cleat 1.
  • the organs of fixing 3 include a stirrup 30 forming a vice ( Figures 2 and 3), fitted with a screwable shim 31 for adapt the transverse dimension of the stirrup to the width L of the cleat 1, and of a grasshopper 32 allowing to quickly fix the bracket 30 on the cleat 1 and remove it just as quickly.
  • grasshopper is meant here any mechanism of cam or lever lock, operating on the universally known principle of dead center exceeded, also known as the “knee brace” principle.
  • the drive members 6 include essentially a clamp 60, a drive pawl 63, and a retaining pawl 64, the clamp being mainly formed by two levers 61, 62 arranged practically square to rod 4 and of which the first, 61, is mounted fixed relative to the stirrup 30.
  • the stirrup 30, the clamp 60, and the pusher 5 are of preferably made of cut metal blanks and folded.
  • the fixed lever 61 is shaped like a yoke and has one end which widens, thanks to a fold, for form a plate 610.
  • the plate 610 can itself be made integral with the outer face of the base 300 of the stirrup 30, by example by means of screws such as 611, and lugs such that 612 engaged in lights such as 301 of the base 300 of stirrup 30.
  • the second lever 62 can thus be pivotally mounted around a transverse axis 623 which is supported by the clevis formed by the fixed lever 61, a spring helical 600 being wound on this axis to separate resiliently lever 62 of fixed lever 61 and press the lever 62 against a transverse stop 69.
  • the rod 4 is notched preference, but only on a beach angularly limited from its external surface, this surface also being essentially cylindrical.
  • the drive pawl 63 is mounted tilting around a transverse axis 631 fixed to one end of the lever 62 to transmit to the rod 4, in the direction advancement A, a translational movement related to pivoting movement of the second lever 62 around axis 623.
  • the retaining pawl 64 is mounted to pivot around a transverse axis 642 supported by the yoke that constitutes the fixed lever 61, and has the function of prohibiting the rod 4 any movement in opposite direction of advancement A.
  • Each of the pawls 63 and 64 is elastically stressed towards the rod 4 by means of a suitable helical spring, for example wound on the axis of this ratchet.
  • the rod 4 is guided in translation against the face external of the base 300 of the stirrup 30, or to its near the end of the fixed lever 61 in form of platinum, and so that it can be rotated around its longitudinal axis X.
  • This rod 4 is also preferably shaped as hook at its end 41 distant from pusher 5, so as to facilitate its training in rotation around of the X axis, thanks to which the notch 42 of the rod escapes the pawls 63 and 64, and thanks to which the rod 4 can therefore be freely moved relative to the bracket 30.
  • the pusher 5 mounted at the end 40 of the rod 4 can adopt the shape of an overturned shovel, so that ability, if necessary, to maintain a template 7 whose front part 70 is adapted to the profile of the paneling, in the case where this paneling is oriented in such a way that pressure directly exerted on him by the pushing may damage it.
  • the stirrup 30 generally adopts a U-shaped profile, formed of two lateral branches 301, 302 connected one to the other by the base 300 of this stirrup 30.
  • the first branch 301 has for example an ear 303 on which the grasshopper 32 is articulated.
  • the grasshopper 32 also has a thrust axis 320 which crosses the first lateral branch 301 of the bracket, which can be threaded to carry a nut suitable for constituting the screwable block 31.
  • the other branch 302 of the stirrup advantageously carries two claws, such as 304, which are oriented along a transverse direction and which point towards the first branch 301.
  • pusher 5 can be riveted on the end 40 of the rod 4, it is preferably mounted removably on this rod, possibly at by means of a screw.
  • this pusher can adopt various forms, including that of a paw guide 50 which extends at least partially in a plane containing the longitudinal axis X of the rod, and which widens at a distance from the end 40 of this rod.
  • the pusher 5 may have cutouts, such as 51, 53 and 55, which delimit transverse bands, such as 52, 54, 56, 58, used for removable mounting of the pusher 5 on the rod 4.
  • cutouts 52, 54 and 56 are arranged on either side of the rod 4, and one of these cutouts, such as 58, comes abut on the end 40 of the rod 4.
  • the end 40 of the rod 4 has a relief, such as a shoulder 400, which takes place in one of the cutouts 55, and which elastically deforms at least one of the transverse bands, such as 56, when this pusher 5 is threaded on the rod 4.
  • a relief such as a shoulder 400
  • the means to fixing 3 of means for adjusting the length of the screwable shim 31 so as to adapt the latter to the width of the cleat 1.
  • these means in the form of a set of suitable screws each for mounting the screwable shim 31, these screws having specific lengths and being chosen each according to the width of the battens likely to receive the assistance device according to the invention.
  • the shape of the pusher 5 is adapted.
