Description

BROSSE ADHESIVE MONOBLOC A MANCHON TOURNANT ET PROCEDE DE FABRICATION D ' UNE TEL¬ LE BROSSESTICK PIECE BRUSH ROTATING SLEEVE AND METHOD OF A ¬ AS THE BRUSH
L ' invention se situe dans le domaine technique des brosses adhésives pour le traitement des vêtements et concerne plus 5 précisément une monture recevant un manchon tournant, et ses dispositifs annexes .The invention relates to the technical field of adhesive brushes for the treatment of clothing and more specifically relates to a frame receiving a rotating sleeve, and its associated devices.
Il existe sur le marché une multitude de brosses adhésives à manchon tournant pour le traitement des vêtements, et pour des raisons de prix de revient, la plupart des fabricants ont choisi de réaliserThere are a multitude of adhesive brushes with rotating sleeves for treating clothes on the market, and for cost reasons, most manufacturers have chosen to make
10 la partie manche et la partie monture, recevant le manchon tournant, en une seule pièce moulée . Cela évite en fabrication 1 ' assemblage de deux pièces .10 the handle part and the frame part, receiving the rotating sleeve, in a single molded part. This avoids manufacturing one assembly of two parts.
Il faut cependant être en mesure de pouvoir engager le manchon sur la monture et de pouvoir 1 ' en dégager pourHowever, it must be able to engage the sleeve on the frame and to be able to disengage it for
15 remplacement . Ce manchon , comme on sait , est un tube cylindrique avantageusement réalisé en carton , sur lequel sont enroulées des feuilles adhésives successives , que l ' utilisateur peut ôter les unes après les autres après emploi . Quand le manchon est garni de feuilles adhésives il15 replacement. This sleeve, as we know, is a cylindrical tube advantageously made of cardboard, on which successive adhesive sheets are wound, which the user can remove one after the other after use. When the sleeve is lined with adhesive sheets it
20 est relativement rigide mais apte cependant à subir une déf ormation minimum autorisant son introduction sur la monture . Pour cela il y a deux possibilités . Soit on engage le manchon par le manche et dans ce cas le manchon est légèrement déformé en ovale autour du manche grâce à une20 is relatively rigid but nevertheless able to undergo a minimum def ormation allowing its introduction on the frame. There are two possibilities for this. Either one engages the sleeve by the handle and in this case the sleeve is slightly deformed in oval around the handle thanks to a
25 forme appropriée de celui-ci , comportant par exemple une rampe et un f lasque ovale , de grand axe supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la recharge et de petit axe inférieur au diamètre intérieur de la recharge . Le manchon reprend progressivement peu ou prou une forme cylindrique autour de25 suitable form thereof, comprising for example a ramp and an oval f lasque, major axis greater than the inner diameter of the refill and minor axis less than the inner diameter of the refill. The sleeve gradually resumes more or less a cylindrical shape around
30 la monture et vient en f in d ' assemblage , buter sur un flasque circulaire . Ce premier concept permet un assemblage automatique ai sé du manchon , mais l ' inconvénient pour l ' uti lisateur est la nécessité d ' assurer le retrait du manchon vide par le manche ce qui n' est pas un geste naturel.30 the frame and at the end of assembly, abut on a circular flange. This first concept allows automatic dry assembly of the sleeve, but the drawback for the user is the need to ensure the withdrawal of the empty sleeve by the handle which is not a natural gesture.
35 Soit on engage le manchon par l ' extrémité opposée , donc du côté de la monture . Dans ce cas celle-ci dispose alors de deux pattes souples qui s ' escamotent lors du montage du manchon, puis reviennent en place pour assurer la fonction butée. Du côté du manche, l'extrémité de la oncurs est un flasque circulaire formant également butée.35 Either the sleeve is engaged by the opposite end, therefore on the side of the frame. In this case it then has two flexible tabs which retract during the sleeve assembly, then come back in place to ensure the stop function. On the side of the handle, the end of the oncurs is a circular flange also forming a stop.
L'avantage de ce second concept est de pouvoir mettre ou retirer une recharge en gardant le manche dans une main. Par contre les manipulations, à cause des pattes souples, ne sont pas aisées et la mécanisation du montage du manchon n'est pas évidente. De plus, le matériau utilisé pour le moulage possédant peu de mémoire élastique, il arrive que les pattes ne reviennent pas complètement: à l'état: initial, ce qui peut rendre aléatoire le maintien du manchon à 1 ' sage.The advantage of this second concept is to be able to put or remove a refill while keeping the handle in one hand. On the other hand, the manipulations, because of the flexible tabs, are not easy and the mechanization of the mounting of the sleeve is not obvious. In addition, the material used for molding having little elastic memory, it sometimes happens that the tabs do not return completely: in the state: initial, which can make it difficult to keep the sleeve 1 wise.
Le Demandeur s'est attaché à trouver et mettre au point: une solution qui évite les inconvénients précités en proposant un ensemble monobloc permettant à l'utilisateur de mettre en place sur la monture et de retirer le manchon hors de la monture, rapidement et aisément en agissant du côté de l'extrémité de la monture.The Applicant endeavored to find and develop: a solution which avoids the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a one-piece assembly allowing the user to set up on the frame and to remove the sleeve from the frame, quickly and easily acting on the side of the end of the frame.
L'invention a donc pour objet une brosse adhésive à manchon tournant comportant un manche et une monture formant un ensemble monobloc moulé en une seule pièce, la monture comportant des organes de support et des pièces formant butée pour recevoir et maintenir le manchon tournant, brosseThe subject of the invention is therefore an adhesive brush with a rotating sleeve comprising a handle and a frame forming a one-piece assembly molded in one piece, the frame comprising support members and parts forming a stop for receiving and holding the rotating sleeve, brush
"selon laquelle la monture est constituée d'une succession d'organes de support servant de points d'appui réguliers pour le manchon tournant et dont 1 ' enveloppe extérieure décrit un cylindre, un espace vide étant ménagé entre ladite enveloppe et au moins une butée à l'extrémité de la monture, cet espace vide constituant un espace de déformation possible du manchon."according to which the frame consists of a succession of support members serving as regular support points for the rotating sleeve and of which the outer envelope describes a cylinder, an empty space being created between said envelope and at least one stop at the end of the frame, this empty space constituting a possible deformation space of the sleeve.
Plus précisément, la butée à l'extrémité de la monture est constituée d'un flasque ovale dont la valeur du grand axe assure une butée longitudinale au manchon, et dont la valeur du petit axe est compatible avec l'espace vide. Des nervures s'adossent au flasque pour limiter la déformation du manchon et rigidifier le flasque. Le flasque constituant une butée, à la jonction entre le manche et la monture, forme une came du côté du manche. Avantageusement , les organes support sont constitués de disques elliptiques inclinés sur l ' axe de la monture et reliés entre eux par des nervures longitudinales .More specifically, the stop at the end of the frame consists of an oval flange whose value of the major axis provides a longitudinal stop for the sleeve, and whose value of the minor axis is compatible with the empty space. Ribs are attached to the flange to limit the deformation of the sleeve and to stiffen the flange. The flange constituting a stop, at the junction between the handle and the frame, forms a cam on the side of the handle. Advantageously, the support members consist of elliptical discs inclined on the axis of the frame and connected together by longitudinal ribs.
Selon une autre caractéri s tique particul ière de l ' invention , le procédé de fabrication de ladite brosse consiste à inj ecter du gaz par un trou prévu à l ' extrémité de la monture , pour conformer le manche et la monture de la brosse en une pièce .According to another particular characteristic of the invention, the method of manufacturing said brush consists in injecting gas through a hole provided at the end of the frame, to conform the handle and the frame of the brush into a room .
D ' autres caractéristiques particulières et avantages de 1 ' invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d ' exemples non limitati fs de réalisation dans lesquels il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent .Other particular characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows of nonlimiting exemplary embodiments in which reference is made to the appended drawings which represent.

L ' ensemble monobloc montré sur les figures comporte une partie manche et une partie monture désignés respectivement par les références 1 et 2. Ces deux parties forment un ensemble monobloc moulé en une seule pièce. A la jonction entre le manche et la monture, un flasque ovale 3 formant came du côté du manche favorise l ' introduction d'un manchon 4 garni de feuilles adhésives 5 , représenté à la figure 1 en position de fonctionnement sur la monture 2. Il est alors en butée contre un flasque ovale 6 , à l ' extrémité de la monture, le flasque 3 faisant également butée du côté du manche, du fait de la di f férence entre le grand axe de l'ovale et le diamètre intérieur du manchon. En variante de réalisation non représentée, les flasques (3,6) pourraient présenter un contour polygonal.The monobloc assembly shown in the figures comprises a handle part and a mounting part respectively designated by the references 1 and 2. These two parts form a monobloc assembly molded in one piece. At the junction between the handle and the frame, an oval flange 3 forming a cam on the side of the handle favors the introduction of a sleeve 4 furnished with adhesive sheets 5, represented in FIG. 1 in the operating position on the frame 2. It is then in abutment against an oval flange 6, at the end of the frame, the flange 3 also making a stop on the side of the handle, due to the difference between the major axis of the oval and the inside diameter of the sleeve. In an alternative embodiment not shown, the flanges (3,6) could have a polygonal contour.
La monture 2 a une structure particulière. Elle est constituée d'une succession de disques elliptiques 7 inclinés sur l'axe 10 de la monture et reliés entre eux par des nervures longitudinales 8. L'enveloppe 11 de ces disques elliptiques décrit un cylindre de diamètre D, légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur du manchon 4. Les disques constituent ainsi une succession d'organes de support servant de points d'appui et multipliant ainsi les points de portée pour le manchon tournant assurant la continuité de guidage en rotation du manchon. Ainsi le manchon peut-ii tourner aisément, avec une faible jeu autour de ce cylindre, en prenant appui en plusieurs points, et selon toute sa périphérie, sur les disques elliptiques, ce qui diminue la pression de contact linéique lorsque le manchon tourne sur la monture en usage. Le manchon 4 est donc maintenu sur la monture 2 entre le flasque 6 et 1 ' autre flasque 3 du côté du manche.Frame 2 has a particular structure. It consists of a succession of elliptical discs 7 inclined on the axis 10 of the frame and connected together by longitudinal ribs 8. The casing 11 of these elliptical discs describes a cylinder of diameter D, slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve 4. The discs thus constitute a succession of support members serving as support points and thus multiplying the bearing points for the rotating sleeve ensuring the guiding continuity in rotation of the sleeve. Thus the sleeve can ii easily rotate, with a small clearance around this cylinder, bearing on several points, and along its entire periphery, on the elliptical discs, which decreases the linear contact pressure when the sleeve rotates on the frame in use. The sleeve 4 is therefore held on the frame 2 between the flange 6 and the other flange 3 on the side of the handle.
Sur la figure 1 plus précisément, on voit que la monture dispose d'une série de trois disques elliptiques 7 dans un sens et d'une autre série de trois disques inclinés symétriquement dans l'autre sens, les disques se coupant sur l'axe 10 de la monture. On notera que les bords des disques extérieurs, le long de l'enveloppe 11, sont écartés du flasque 3 et du flasque 6 d'une distance E. De plus les points extérieurs de croisement des disques sont écartés des flasques d'une distance F. Un espace vide 12 est délimité ainsi dans l'enveloppe selon Ξ et F, entre les disques et le flasque voisin, cet espace vide constituant à chaque extrémité de la monture un espace de déformation possible du manchon. En effet, quand l'utilisateur veut extraire un manchon dégarni, donc plus souple, hors de la brosse, il peut aisément écraser ledit manchon au niveau de cet espace vide 12 et ainsi le déformer pour lui imprimer une section ovale adaptée et pouvoir l'extraire en passant au-dessus du flasque ovale correspondant, soit du côté du manche par le flasque ovale 3, soit du côté opposé par le flasque ovale 6. Avantageusement il extraira le manchon par 1 ' extrémité de la monture, au-dessus du flasque 6, en tenant le manche d ' une main .In FIG. 1 more precisely, it can be seen that the frame has a series of three elliptical discs 7 in one direction and another series of three discs inclined symmetrically in the other direction, the discs intersecting on the axis 10 of the mount. Note that the edges of the outer discs, along the envelope 11, are spaced from the flange 3 and the flange 6 by a distance E. In addition, the outer points of intersection of the discs are spaced from the flanges by a distance F An empty space 12 is thus delimited in the envelope along Ξ and F, between the disks and the neighboring flange, this empty space constituting at each end of the frame a space for possible deformation of the sleeve. Indeed, when the user wants to extract a stripped sleeve, therefore more flexible, out of the brush, he can easily crush said sleeve at the level of this empty space 12 and thus deform it to print an adapted oval section and be able to extract by passing above the corresponding oval flange, either on the side of the handle by the oval flange 3, or on the opposite side by the oval flange 6. Advantageously, it will extract the sleeve by the end of the frame, above the flange 6, while holding the handle in one hand.
On voit plus précisément à la figure 3 un flasque ovale 6 ayant un petit axe a et un grand axe b. La valeur du grand axe b est déterminée de façon à assurer une butée longitudinale (axiale) suffisante, au maximum égaie à l'épaisseur du carton de base formant le manchon, comme montré à la figure 4. La valeur du petit axe a doit être compatible avec l'espace vide 12 laissé entre ce fiasque butée 6 et les premiers disques elliptiques 7 pour permettre la déformation du manchon et son extraction aisée lorsque toutes les feuilles adhésives ont été utilisées . Plusieurs nervures 21 s'adossent à ce flasque 6, côté intérieur, pour limiter la déformation du carton de base du manchon et faciliter le guidage lors de son extraction.We see more precisely in Figure 3 an oval flange 6 having a small axis a and a large axis b. The value of the major axis b is determined so as to ensure a sufficient longitudinal (axial) stop, at most equal to the thickness of the base cardboard forming the sleeve, as shown in FIG. 4. The value of the minor axis a must be compatible with the empty space 12 left between this stop flask 6 and the first elliptical discs 7 to allow the deformation of the sleeve and its easy extraction when all the adhesive sheets have been used. Several ribs 21 lean against this flange 6, on the inner side, to limit the deformation of the base carton of the sleeve and to facilitate guiding during its extraction.
Sur la face externe du flasque ovale 6 est monté par l'intermédiaire d ' entretoises 13, un petit disque 14. Celui-ci permet d ' encliqueter la monture 2 à l'intérieur d'un fourreau de protection 15 représenté par ailleurs aux figures 5 et 6. Ce fourreau légèrement tronconique sert à protéger la partie tournante de la brosse. Il est muni d'une ouverture d'extrémité 17 entourée d'une bordure annulaire 18. On peut ainsi 1 ' encliqueter sur le disque 14 par des pattes déformables 20 prévues sur la bordure 18 et pourvues de crochets de retenue 16 comme le montre plus précisément la figure 7. De même la bordure annulaire 18 est équipée de plusieurs nervures de guidage 19 dont la structure est mieux visible à la figure 8, les nervures alternant avec les pattes .On the external face of the oval flange 6 is mounted by means of spacers 13, a small disc 14. This makes it possible to snap on the frame 2 inside a protective sheath 15 shown elsewhere in the figures 5 and 6. This slightly frustoconical sheath is used to protect the rotating part of the brush. It is provided with an end opening 17 surrounded by an annular edge 18. It is thus possible to snap it onto the disc 14 by deformable tabs 20 provided on the edge 18 and provided with retaining hooks 16 as shown more specifically in Figure 7. Similarly the annular edge 18 is equipped with several guide ribs 19 whose structure is best visible in Figure 8, the ribs alternating with the legs.
Dans une variante de réalisation simplifiée représentée aux figures 9 et 10, on retrouve sur la bordure annulaire 18 les pattes déformables 20 et leurs crochets de retenue 16.In a simplified variant embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the deformable tabs 20 and their retaining hooks 16 are found on the annular edge 18.
Avec une telle brosse monobloc, l'introduction par le manche d'une recharge constituée d'un manchon neuf garni de feuilles adhésives, est une opération très simple, favorisée par la came d'introduction, qui génère une petite déformation de la recharge pour passer au-dessus du premier flasque ovale.With such a monobloc brush, the introduction by the handle of a refill constituted by a new sleeve furnished with adhesive sheets, is a very simple operation, favored by the introduction cam, which generates a small deformation of the refill to pass over the first oval flange.
Grâce aux espaces vides 12 et préférentiellement celui à l'extrémité de la monture, on extrait d'une main le manchon dégarni en tenant le manche par l'autre main.Thanks to the empty spaces 12 and preferably that at the end of the frame, the stripped sleeve is extracted with one hand while holding the handle with the other hand.
La brosse précédemment décrite peut aussi être avantageusement réalisée comme représentée aux figures 11 et 12, dans lesquelles les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références . On remarque que le volume de la zone du manche 1 est évidé et généré par une enveloppe continue lisse, donc agréable à la prise en main.The previously described brush can also advantageously be produced as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in which the same elements have the same references. Note that the volume of the handle area 1 is hollowed out and generated by a smooth continuous envelope, therefore pleasant to grip.
Du côté de la monture 2, les disques elliptiques 7 sont interrompus en leur centre par un cylindre évidé 22, ce qui permet un meilleur refroidissement de cette zone sans modifier l'enveloppe cylindrique des disques formant les points d'appui du manchon 4.On the side of the mount 2, the elliptical discs 7 are interrupted in their center by a hollow cylinder 22, which allows better cooling of this zone without modifying the cylindrical envelope of the discs forming the support points of the sleeve 4.
Cette variante de réalisation est obtenue par injection de gaz à l'extrémité de la monture, par un trou d'injection 23. Ce trou est encadré de pattes déformables de clipsage 24 servant à 1 ' encliquetage du fourreau de protection 15. L'injection de gaz par le trou 23 permet de conformer le manche et la monture de la brosse en une pièce . Ce concept autorise le développement de divers modèles de manches, un simple et rapide changement d'éléments moulants femelles étant suffisant. This variant is obtained by injecting gas at the end of the frame, by an injection hole 23. This hole is framed by deformable clips 24 which serve to snap the protective sleeve 15. The injection gas through the hole 23 allows to conform the handle and the brush mount in one piece. This concept allows the development of various models of sleeves, a simple and quick change of female form elements being sufficient.
