Definitions

  • the invention lies in the technical field of adhesive brushes for treating clothing and relates more specifically to a frame receiving a sleeve rotating, and its ancillary devices.
  • This sleeve is a tube cylindrical advantageously made of cardboard, on which are wound successive adhesive sheets, which the user can remove them one after the other after employment.
  • the sleeve is lined with adhesive sheets it is relatively rigid but nevertheless capable of undergoing minimal deformation allowing its introduction on the mount.
  • the sleeve is slightly deformed in an oval around the handle thanks to a appropriate form thereof, including for example a ramp and an oval flange, major axis greater than inner diameter of the refill and lower minor axis the inside diameter of the refill.
  • the sleeve resumes progressively more or less a cylindrical shape around the frame and comes at the end of assembly, stuck on a circular flange.
  • This first concept allows an assembly automatic easy to the sleeve, but the disadvantage for the user is the need to ensure removal of the empty sleeve by the handle which is not a gesture natural.
  • the Applicant endeavored to find and put point a solution which avoids the aforementioned drawbacks in offering a monobloc assembly allowing the user to set up on the mount and remove the sleeve off of the frame, quickly and easily by acting on the side of the end of the frame.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore an adhesive brush with 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 stop to receive and hold the rotating sleeve, brush that the frame is made up of a succession support members serving as regular support points for the rotating sleeve by multiplying its range points and ensuring the continuity of its rotation guidance, and whose outer envelope of said support members describes a cylinder, an empty space being created between said cylinder casing and at least one stop at the end of the frame to constitute a possible deformation space of the sleeve, facilitating its extraction.
  • the stop at the end of the frame consists of an oval flange whose value of the large axis provides a longitudinal stop to the sleeve, and the value of the minor axis is compatible with the empty space. of the ribs lean against the flange to limit deformation of the sleeve and stiffen the flange.
  • the constituent flange a stop at the junction between the handle and the frame, forms a cam on the side of the handle.
  • the support members are constituted elliptical discs inclined on the axis of the frame and interconnected by longitudinal ribs.
  • a method of manufacturing said brush consists of injecting gas through a hole provided at the end of the frame, to conform the handle and the frame of the brush in one piece. Said process differs from others known processes, in particular for producing brushes tooth, as described in EP 0668 140.
  • the one-piece assembly shown in the figures includes a designated handle part and frame part respectively by the references 1 and 2. These two parts form a one-piece assembly molded in one piece.
  • an oval flange 3 forming a cam on the side of the handle promotes the introduction of a sleeve 4 lined with adhesive sheets 5, shown in the Figure 1 in the operating position on mount 2. It is then in abutment against an oval flange 6, at the end of the frame, the flange 3 also making stops on the side of the neck, due to the difference between the major axis of the oval and the inside diameter of the sleeve.
  • the flanges (3,6) could have a polygonal outline.
  • Frame 2 has a particular structure. She is consisting 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 discs elliptical 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 points of support and thus multiplying the points of worn for the rotating sleeve ensuring continuity of sleeve rotation guide. So the sleeve can turn easily, with little play around this cylinder, taking support in several points, and according to all its periphery, on the elliptical discs, which decreases the linear contact pressure when the sleeve turns on the frame in use.
  • the sleeve 4 is therefore kept on the frame 2 between the flange 6 and the other flange 3 on the side of the handle.
  • the mount has a series of three elliptical discs 7 in one direction and another set of three inclined discs symmetrically in the other direction, the discs intersecting on axis 10 of the frame.
  • the edges of the discs outside, along the envelope 11 are spaced from the flange 3 and flange 6 from a distance E.
  • the external points of intersection of the discs are separated from flanges of a distance F.
  • An empty space 12 is delimited thus in the envelope according to E and F, between the discs and the neighboring flange, this empty space constituting at each end of the frame a possible deformation space of the muff.
  • a flange oval 6 having a minor axis a and a major axis b.
  • the value of the major axis b is determined so as to ensure a stop longitudinal (axial) sufficient, at most equal to the thickness of the base cardboard forming the sleeve, as shown in figure 4.
  • the value of the minor axis a should be compatible with the empty space 12 left between this flange stop 6 and the first elliptical discs 7 for allow the deformation of the sleeve and its extraction easy when all the adhesive sheets have been used.
  • a small disc 14 On the external face of the oval flange 6 is mounted by via spacers 13, a small disc 14. This allows to snap the mount 2 inside a protective sheath 15 also shown in Figures 5 and 6. This slightly frustoconical sheath is used to protect the rotating part of the brush. He is provided an end opening 17 surrounded by an edge annular 18. It can thus be snapped onto the disc 14 by deformable tabs 20 provided on the edge 18 and provided with retaining hooks 16 as shown more precisely Figure 7. Similarly the annular border 18 is equipped with several guide ribs 19, the structure is better visible in Figure 8, the ribs alternating with the legs.
  • the introduction by the handle of a refill consisting of a new lined sleeve of 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.
  • the elliptical discs 7 are interrupted in their center by a hollow cylinder 22, which allows better cooling of this area without modifying the cylindrical envelope of the discs forming the support points of the sleeve 4.
  • This alternative embodiment is obtained by gas injection at the end of the frame, through a hole injection 23.
  • This hole is framed by deformable pacts 24 for snap-fastening the sheath of protection 15.
  • the injection of gas through hole 23 allows conform the handle and the brush mount in one room.
  • This concept allows the development of various sleeve models, a simple and quick change of female form elements being sufficient.
