Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pince à linge.The present invention relates to a clothespin.
Les pinces à linge sont constituées, traditionnellement, de deux branches en bois ou en matière synthétique, identiques et montées en sens opposés, qui peuvent pivoter l'une par rapport à l'autre. Chaque branche comporte une partie postérieure formant bras de levier, et une partie antérieure formant mâchoire, située en regard de la mâchoire correspondante de l'autre branche, et coopérant avec cette autre mâchoire. Un ressort relie les deux branches et les sollicite dans le sens du serrage des mâchoires l'une contre l'autre, leur permettant ainsi de serrer une pièce de linge à suspendre pour son séchage.Clothespins are made, traditionally, two branches made of wood or synthetic, identical and mounted in opposite directions, which can rotate relative to each other. Each branch has a posterior portion forming an arm of lever, and an anterior portion forming a jaw, located next to the corresponding jaw of the other branch, and cooperating with this other jaw. A spring connects the two branches and solicits them in the sense of the jaws clamping against each other, their thus allowing to tighten a piece of linen to suspend for its drying.
On connaít aussi des pinces à linge en matière synthétique moulées d'une seule pièce, de manière à former les deux branches ainsi qu'une zone de liaison de faible épaisseur, formant charnière - voir par exemple les demandes de brevets EP 0 302 135, EP 0 641 882 et WO 93/23602.We also know clothespins in material molded in one piece, so as to form the two branches as well as a weak link area thickness, forming a hinge - see for example the patent applications EP 0 302 135, EP 0 641 882 and WO 93/23602.
Dans tous les cas, les branches de ces pinces à linge sont des pièces ou parties rigides, ce qui présente des inconvénients, notamment au niveau des mâchoires. Lorsque ces mâchoires possèdent une surface relativement lisse, le maintien du linge est insuffisant, et celui-ci risque de glisser et d'échapper à la pince, sous l'effet de son propre poids ou d'autres sollicitations, telles que le vent. Pour éviter cet inconvénient, les pinces à linge sont souvent pourvues de mâchoires à profil dentelé, qui réalisent un meilleur accrochage du linge ; cette configuration a toutefois pour inconvénient de "marquer" plus ou moins fortement le linge, aux endroits pincés.In all cases, the branches of these tongs Linen are rigid parts or parts, which presents disadvantages, especially in the jaws. When these jaws have a relatively smooth, the maintenance of the linen is insufficient, and this one risk of slipping and escaping the pliers, under the effect of its own weight or other solicitations, such as wind. To avoid this inconvenience, the clothespins are often provided with serrated jaws, which achieve a better hanging of the linen; this However, the configuration has the disadvantage of "marking" more or less strongly the linen, in the pinched places.
On connaít aussi, par les documents FR 2 555 620 A
et DE 528 259 C, des pinces à linge à deux branches
réalisées en un matériau relativement dur, dont les
parties formant mâchoires sont garnies intérieurement de
tampons ou d'un revêtement en un matériau relativement
souple prévu pour former la surface de contact avec la
tige. Dans le cas du documet FR 2 556 620 A, les deux
branches de la pince à linge possèdent chacune une
structure symétrique, et des tampons souples sont prévus
aux deux extrémités opposées de chaque branche. Ainsi,
l'action des deux tampons d'une extrémité de la pince se
trouve contrariée par l'action des deux tampons de l'autre
extrémité, si bien que l'efficacité de serrage d'une telle
pince à linge reste très douteuse. Quant au document
DE 528 259 C, celui-ci montre une pince à linge commandée
par un levier à came, donc avec mécanisme relativement
complexe, puisqu'il nécessite un axe de pivotement
supplémentaire pour ce levier. L'utilisation d'une telle
pince à linge est peu pratique, car elle nécessite d'agir
simultanément sur les deux branches et sur le levier, tout
en maintenant le linge à suspendre. Enfin, la pince à
linge du document DE 528 259 C est dépourvue de ressort de
rappel en position de fermeture.It is also known from
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, en fournissant une pince à linge perfectionnée, qui améliore sensiblement le maintien du linge tout en évitant son "marquage", la pince à linge proposée restant de structure simple et de fabrication économique.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages, by providing a clothespin improved, which significantly improves the maintenance of the linen while avoiding its "marking", the clothespin proposed remaining simple structure and workmanship economic.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une pince à linge constituée essentiellement de deux branches comportant chacune une partie antérieure formant mâchoire, située en regard de la mâchoire correspondante de l'autre branche, et une partie postérieure formant bras de levier, les deux branches étant reliées l'une à l'autre, en un point intermédiaire de leur longueur, par un voile mince de matière jouant le rôle de charnière, et un ressort hélicoïdal de rappel en position de fermeture étant monté entre les deux branches, en étant positionné par ses extrémités entre deux bossages formés respectivement sur le côté intérieur des parties postérieures des deux branches, tandis que les parties formant mâchoires des deux branches, réalisées en un matériau relativement dur, sont garnies intérieurement d'un revêtement en un matériau relativement souple, prévu pour former la surface de contact avec le linge, cette surface résultant de faces intérieures dudit revêtement possèdant un profil ondulé, ou de faces intérieures relativement lisses dudit revêtement.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a gripper for linen consisting essentially of two branches each having an anterior portion forming a jaw, located opposite the corresponding jaw of the other branch, and a posterior part forming a lever arm, the two branches being connected to one another, in one intermediate point of their length, by a thin veil of material playing the role of hinge, and a spring helical return in the closed position being mounted between the two branches, being positioned by its ends between two bosses formed respectively on the inner side of the posterior parts of the two branches, while the jaw parts of the two branches, made of a relatively hard material, are internally lined with a coating of a material relatively flexible, intended to form the surface of contact with the laundry, this surface resulting from faces interior of said coating having a corrugated profile, or relatively smooth inner faces of said coating.
Ainsi, la pince à linge objet de l'invention possède, comme particularité essentielle, le fait d'être réalisée en deux matières distinctes, une matière plus souple étant prévue sur le côté intérieur des mâchoires. Cette matière souple forme des "tampons" qui, lors de l'utilisation de la pince, sont écrasés élastiquement et assurent ainsi un excellent maintien du linge, d'autant plus que la qualité de surface du matériau souple utilisé, tel que silicone ou mousse, s'oppose au glissement.Thus, the clothespin object of the invention possesses, as an essential peculiarity, the fact of being made of two distinct materials, one more flexible being provided on the inner side of the jaws. This flexible material forms "buffers" which, when the use of the pliers, are elastically crushed and thus ensure excellent maintenance of the laundry, all the more more than the surface quality of the flexible material used, such as silicone or foam, opposes sliding.
Ce matériau souple peut notamment prendre la forme de deux petits tampons distincts, fixés respectivement sur le côté intérieur des parties formant mâchoires des deux branches de la pince à linge.This flexible material can in particular take the form two small separate buffers, respectively fixed on the inner side of the jaw parts of both branches of the clothespin.
Dans une variante, le matériau souple prend la forme d'une pièce unique, possédant un profil en "U", dont les deux ailes opposées sont fixées respectivement sur le côté intérieur des parties formant mâchoires des deux branches de la pince à linge. La souplesse du matériau constitutif d'une telle pièce en "U" lui permet naturellement de se déformer, pour "suivre" le mouvement relatif des deux branches, lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de la pince à linge.In a variant, the flexible material takes the a single piece, with a "U" shaped profile, of which the two opposite wings are respectively fixed on the inner side of the jaw parts of both branches of the clothespin. The flexibility of the material constituent part of such a "U" part enables him to naturally to deform, to "follow" the movement relative of the two branches, when opening or closure of the clothespin.
Diverses techniques de fabrication sont possibles, pour la fixation des parties en matière souple sur les deux branches réalisées en une matière plus dure.Various manufacturing techniques are possible, for fastening the flexible material parts to the two branches made of a harder material.
En particulier, dans le cas d'une pince à linge dont les deux branches sont réalisées en matière synthétique moulée, les parties en matériau souple peuvent être obtenues par une technique industrielle de bi-injection ou de surmoulage, assurant simultanément leur formation et leur fixation sur les branches correspondantes.In particular, in the case of a clothespin whose two branches are made of molded synthetic material, the parts made of flexible be obtained by an industrial technique of bi-injection overmoulding, simultaneously ensuring their training and their fixation on the branches corresponding.
Les parties en matériau souple peuvent aussi être fixées par collage, ou par emboítement, sur les deux branches réalisées en un matériau plus dur.The flexible material parts can also be fixed by gluing, or by interlocking, on both branches made of a harder material.
L'efficacité des parties en matériau souple peut être augmentée en élargissant ces parties, ainsi que les parties formant mâchoires des deux branches, par rapport au restant des branches de la pince à linge, ce qui permet à la fois :
- d'augmenter la surface de contact avec le linge, pour une meilleure tenue, et
- de répartir la pression de serrage sur une surface plus grande, pour limiter encore le risque de "marquage" du linge.
- to increase the contact surface with the linen, for a better hold, and
- distributing the clamping pressure over a larger surface, to further limit the risk of "marking" the laundry.
L'invention sera de toute façon mieux comprise à
l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin
schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples,
quelques formes d'exécution de cette pince à linge :
La figure 1 montre une pince à linge, qui comprend
deux branches allongées 1 et 2, reliées l'une à l'autre en
un point intermédiaire de leur longueur par un voile mince
de matière 3. L'ensemble des deux branches 1 et 2 et du
voile 3 est réalisé d'une seule pièce, par moulage, dans
une matière synthétique relativement dure, le voile 3
conservant cependant, en raison de sa faible épaisseur,
une certaine flexibilité lui permettant de jouer le rôle
d'une charnière. Chaque branche 1 ou 2 comporte une partie
postérieure, respectivement 4 ou 5, formant bras de
levier, et une partie antérieure, respectivement 6 ou 7,
formant mâchoire. Un ressort hélicoïdal 8 de rappel en
position de fermeture est monté entre les deux branches 1
et 2, le ressort 8 étant positionné, par ses extrémités,
sur deux bossages 9 et 10 formés respectivement sur le
côté intérieur des parties postérieures 4 et 5, situées en
regard l'une de l'autre, des deux branches 1 et 2.Figure 1 shows a clothespin, which includes
two
Les parties antérieures respectives 6 et 7 des
deux branches 1 et 2, formant mâchoires, sont aussi
situées en regard l'une de l'autre, et elles sont revêtues
intérieurement d'un matériau souple. Plus
particulièrement, dans la forme de réalisation illustrée
par la figure 1, il est prévu une pièce unique 11 de
profil en "U", en matériau souple tel que silicone ou
mousse, qui forme deux ailes opposées 12 et 13 reliées
entre elles par une zone intermédiaire 14. Les deux ailes
12 et 13 sont appliquées et fixées respectivement contre
les faces intérieures des parties antérieures respectives
6 et 7 des deux branches 1 et 2, tandis que la zone
intermédiaire 14 est appliquée contre le voile mince 3.
Les faces intérieures 15 et 16 respectives des deux ailes
12 et 13, tournées l'une vers l'autre, possèdent un profil
ondulé et constituent, lors de l'utilisation de la pince à
linge, les surfaces de contact avec le linge. Grâce à la
souplesse du matériau constitutif de la pièce 11, et à
l'écrasement de ce matériau au niveau des ailes 12 et 13,
le maintien du linge est amélioré, et le "marquage"
indésirable de ce linge est évité. De plus, la souplesse
de la pièce 11, notamment dans sa zone intermédiaire 14,
lui permet de "suivre" la déformation du voile mince 3 et
le mouvement relatif des deux branches 1 et 2, lors de
l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de la pince à linge. The respective
La figure 2 représente une pince à linge de même
conception générale que celle de la figure 1, en ce qui
concerne ses deux branches 1 et 2 et le voile de matière 3
reliant ces deux branches 1 et 2, cet ensemble étant
encore réalisé d'une seule pièce en matière synthétique
relativement rigide. Les parties antérieures respectives 6
et 7 des deux branches 1 et 2, formant mâchoires,
reçoivent ici respectivement, sur leurs faces intérieures,
deux petits tampons 17 et 18 en matériau souple, placés
ainsi en vis-à-vis. Les tampons 17 et 18 sont positionnés
en butée contre des épaulements des parties 6 et 7 formant
mâchoires. Les faces intérieures 19 et 20 respectives de
ces deux tampons 17 et 18, tournées l'une vers l'autre,
sont ici relativement lisses et constituent, lors de
l'utilisation de la pince à linge, les surfaces de contact
avec le linge. Comme précédemment, grâce à la souplesse du
matériau constitutif des deux tampons 17 et 18, et à
l'écrasement de ces derniers, l'on obtient une très bonne
tenue du linge, sans effet de "marquage".Figure 2 shows a similar clothespin
general design as that of Figure 1, with respect to
concerning its two
La figure 3 illustre l'application de l'invention
à un autre type de pince à linge, comprenant deux branches
1 et 2 sensiblement parallèles, solidarisées dans la
partie postérieure 21 de la pince à linge, ce type de
pince à linge étant notamment diffusé dans les pays du
nord de l'Europe. Les parties antérieures respectives 6 et
7 des deux branches 1 et 2, formant ici encore mâchoires,
sont comme dans les exemples précédents garnies d'un
revêtement en matériau souple, en comparaison avec le
restant de la pince qui est réalisé en matériau
relativement dur, possédant toutefois une certaine
élasticité dans la région des deux branches 1 et 2. La
partie souple prend, ici encore, la forme de deux tampons
17 et 18 fixés sur les faces intérieures des parties
antérieures respectives 6 et 7 des deux branches 1 et 2.Figure 3 illustrates the application of the invention
to another type of clothespin, including two
La fixation des deux tampons 17 et 18 en matière
souple sur les parties antérieures respectives 6 et 7 des
deux branches 1 et 2 est réalisable, au cours de la
fabrication des pinces à linge, selon divers procédés :
bi-injection, surmoulage, collage, emboítement,
encliquetage.Fixing the two
