Description

La présente invention est relative à une pince multiprise entrepassée du type décrit dans le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to an intercentric pliers of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.

Les pinces multiprises de ce type (voir par exemple DE-A-195 18 555 , US-A-6 019 020 ) permettent de réaliser un guidage entrepassé, et donc précis et fiable, avec deux branches réalisées par forgeage à froid et une plaquette rapportée sur la branche entrepassante.The multi-purpose pliers of this type (see for example DE-A-195 18 555 , US-A-6,019,020 ) make it possible to carry out a guided, and therefore precise and reliable, guidance with two branches made by cold forging and a plate attached to the branch branch.

Cependant, dans les solutions connues précitées, la forme plane de la plaquette conduit à une forte épaisseur de la branche entrepassante et à une forte épaisseur correspondante de l'autre branche.However, in the aforementioned known solutions, the flat shape of the wafer leads to a large thickness of the inter-branching branch and to a correspondingly large thickness of the other branch.

L'invention a pour but d'alléger les branches de la pince. A cet effet, elle a pour objet une pince multiprise entrepassée du type précité, caractérisée en ce que la plaquette a, en vue de côté, une forme générale de Ω.The invention aims to lighten the branches of the clamp. For this purpose, it relates to an interconnect pliers interchange of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the plate has, in side view, a general shape of Ω.

La pince multiprise suivant l'invention peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques des revendications 2 à 9.The multi-socket pliers according to the invention may comprise one or more of the features of claims 2 to 9.

Un exemple de réalisation de l'invention va maintenant être décrit en regard des dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Figure 1 est une vue partielle en élévation d'une pince multiprise suivant l'invention;
  • la Figure 2 est une vue partielle en élévation de la branche entrepassante de cette pince;
  • la Figure 3 est une vue partielle en élévation de la branche entrepassée de la pince;
  • la Figure 4 est une vue en élévation de la plaquette;
  • la Figure 5 est une vue prise en coupe suivant la ligne brisée V-V de la Figure 4; et
  • la Figure 6 est une vue de la pince prise en coupe suivant la ligne brisée VI-VI de la Figure 1.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • the Figure 1 is a partial elevational view of a pliers manifold according to the invention;
  • the Figure 2 is a partial view in elevation of the interpenetrating branch of this clamp;
  • the Figure 3 is a partial view in elevation of the branch of the forceps;
  • the Figure 4 is an elevational view of the wafer;
  • the Figure 5 is a sectional view along the broken line VV of the Figure 4 ; and
  • the Figure 6 is a view of the clip taken in section along the broken line VI-VI of the Figure 1 .

La pince multiprise 1 représentée assemblée sur les Figures 1 et 6, supposée posée à plat sur une surface horizontale, est constituée d'une branche entrepassante 2 monobloc obtenue par forgeage à froid, représentée sur la Figure 2, d'une branche entrepassée 3 également monobloc et obtenue par forgeage à froid, représentée sur la Figure 3, d'une plaquette 4 représentée sur les Figures 4 et 5, et d'un dispositif 5 de commande d'ouverture des mors visible sur la Figure 6.The pliers manifold 1 shown assembled on the Figures 1 and 6 , assumed to lie flat on a horizontal surface, consists of a double-piece branch 2 obtained by cold forging, shown in FIG. Figure 2 of a branch 3 also monobloc and obtained by cold forging, represented on the Figure 3 , a plate 4 shown on the Figures 4 and 5 , and a jaw opening control device 5 visible on the Figure 6 .

La branche 2 comporte à son extrémité distale ou avant un premier mors 6 ayant une striure de saisie appropriée 7. Elle comporte également, à partir de ce mors, une région intermédiaire 8 dans laquelle est formé un creux 9, puis une partie arrière ou proximale 10 formant poignée. De façon classique, la partie 10 peut être revêtue d'une gaine 11 en matière plastique ou élastomère.The branch 2 has at its distal end or before a first jaw 6 having an appropriate gripping thread 7. It also comprises, from this jaw, an intermediate region 8 in which is formed a hollow 9, then a rear or proximal portion 10 forming a handle. Conventionally, the portion 10 may be coated with a sheath 11 made of plastic or elastomer.

Le mors 6 et la partie 10 ont la même épaisseur E (Figure 6) et ont une forme générale rectiligne, tandis que la région 8 a une épaisseur réduite et présente en élévation (Figure 2) une forme générale coudée dont la concavité est tournée vers le bas sur les dessins.The jaw 6 and the part 10 have the same thickness E ( Figure 6 ) and have a generally rectilinear shape, while the region 8 has a reduced thickness and presents in elevation ( Figure 2 ) a generally bent shape whose concavity is turned downwards in the drawings.

Le creux 9 (Figures 2 et 6) est constitué d'un évidement central 12 à fond plat dont la profondeur est E/2 et dont le fond présente un orifice circulaire 13 de diamètre D1. Cet évidement 12 est bordé à chaque extrémité longitudinale d'un gradin plat 14 de hauteur voisine de E/4. Comme on le voit sur la Figure 2, les gradins sont limités à leurs extrémités extérieures par des épaulements respectifs 15 qui convergent fortement l'un vers l'autre vers le dos de la pince, c'est-à-dire vers le haut de la Figure 1. Dans l'exemple représenté, les droites D1 et D2 correspondant à ces épaulements forment un angle d'environ 50°.The hollow 9 ( Figures 2 and 6 ) consists of a central recess 12 with a flat bottom whose depth is E / 2 and whose bottom has a circular orifice 13 of diameter D1. This recess 12 is lined at each longitudinal end of a flat step 14 of height close to E / 4. As we see on the Figure 2 , the steps are limited at their outer ends by respective shoulders 15 which converge strongly towards each other towards the back of the clamp, that is to say towards the top of the Figure 1 . In the example shown, the lines D1 and D2 corresponding to these shoulders form an angle of approximately 50 °.

Sur chaque gradin 14 fait saillie un téton 16 sensiblement tronconique venu de forgeage à froid. De façon correspondante, un creux 17 est formé sous chaque téton. De plus, une saillie 18 est prévue sur le bord intérieur du gradin 14 proximal. Cette saillie présente une face proximale 19 inclinée à environ 45° et une face distale 20 sensiblement verticale, qui délimite également la partie 12 de l'évidement.On each step 14 protrudes a substantially frustoconical stud 16 from cold forging. Correspondingly, a recess 17 is formed under each stud. In addition, a projection 18 is provided on the inner edge of the proximal step 14. This projection has a proximal face 19 inclined at about 45 ° and a distal face 20 substantially vertical, which also defines the portion 12 of the recess.

La surface extérieure de la branche 2, à savoir sa surface inférieure dans la position illustrée, est plane à l'exception des deux creux 17.The outer surface of the branch 2, namely its lower surface in the illustrated position, is flat except for the two recesses 17.

La branche 3 a également une surface extérieure (sa surface supérieure dans la position illustrée) qui est plane. Elle présente l'épaisseur E dans sa région avant ou distale qui définit son mors 21, ainsi que dans sa région arrière 22 formant poignée. Dans sa région intermédiaire d'articulation 23, l'épaisseur de la branche 3 est E/2. Cette région 23 est sensiblement rectiligne en élévation (Figure 3) et comporte une lumière allongée 24 à plusieurs crans circulaires 25 de diamètre D2 inférieur à D1 qui s'interpénètrent, comme cela est classique dans les pinces multiprises. La largeur minimale de la lumière 24, entre les crans 25, est D3<D2. La poignée 22 est revêtue d'une gaine 26 analogue à la gaine 11.The branch 3 also has an outer surface (its upper surface in the illustrated position) which is flat. It has the thickness E in its front or distal region which defines its jaw 21, as well as in its rear region 22 forming a handle. In its intermediate hinge region 23, the thickness of the branch 3 is E / 2. This region 23 is substantially rectilinear in elevation ( Figure 3 ) and has an elongated slot 24 with a plurality of circular notches 25 of diameter D2 smaller than D1 which interpenetrate, as is conventional in the multiple-grip pliers. The minimum width of the light 24 between the notches 25 is D3 <D2. The handle 22 is coated with a sheath 26 similar to the sheath 11.

La plaquette 4 a, en vue en élévation suivant les Figures 1 et 4, le contour du creux 9 de la branche 2, d'un épaulement 15 à l'autre. En coupe longitudinale (Figure 5), elle a une forme en Ω, c'est-à-dire que ses deux parties d'extrémité 27, qui sont planes et s'appliquent à plat sur les gradins 14 respectifs, se trouvent dans un plan décalé vers le bas par rapport à sa partie centrale 28, qui est également plane. Chaque partie 27 est percée d'un orifice circulaire 29 s'évasant vers le haut, tandis que la partie 28 est percée d'un orifice circulaire 30 de diamètre D3, bordé supérieurement d'une cuvette circulaire peu profonde 31. L'inclinaison des zones 32 de liaison entre les parties 27 et 28 est la même que celle du bord 19 de la saillie 18.The plate 4 has, in elevation view following the Figures 1 and 4 , the contour of the hollow 9 of the branch 2, from one shoulder 15 to the other. In longitudinal section ( Figure 5 ), it has a shape in Ω, that is to say that its two end portions 27, which are flat and lie flat on the respective steps 14, are in a plane shifted downwards by relative to its central portion 28, which is also flat. Each portion 27 is pierced with a circular orifice 29 flaring upwards, while the portion 28 is pierced with a circular orifice 30 of diameter D3, bordered above a shallow circular bowl 31. The inclination of zones 32 of connection between the parts 27 and 28 is the same as that of the edge 19 of the projection 18.

Le dispositif de commande 5 est constitué d'un pion étagé 33 ayant une partie inférieure 34 de diamètre D1, une partie intermédiaire 35 de diamètre D2, une partie supérieure 36 de diamètre D3 et une partie d'extrémité de plus petit diamètre. Le pion 33 traverse de bas en haut l'orifice 13, la lumière 24 et l'orifice 30. Une coupelle 37 est positionnée dans la cuvette 31, une rondelle 38 est rivetée sur l'extrémité supérieure du pion 33, et un ressort hélicoïdal tronconique 39 est comprimé entre cette rondelle et le fond de la coupelle 37.The control device 5 consists of a stepped pin 33 having a lower portion 34 of diameter D1, an intermediate portion 35 of diameter D2, an upper portion 36 of diameter D3 and an end portion of smaller diameter. The pin 33 traverses from bottom to top the orifice 13, the light 24 and the orifice 30. A cup 37 is positioned in the bowl 31, a washer 38 is riveted on the upper end of the pin 33, and a spring frustoconical helicoid 39 is compressed between this washer and the bottom of the cup 37.

Pour assembler la pince, on pose la branche 2 sur un support horizontal, avec l'évidement 9 tourné vers le haut, puis on insère la partie 34 du pion 33 dans l'orifice 13. On pose ensuite la branche 3 avec sa face plane tournée vers le haut et sa région intermédiaire 23 posée sur le fond de la partie 12 de l'évidement 9, un cran 25 s'enfilant sur la partie 35 du pion.To assemble the clamp, the branch 2 is placed on a horizontal support, with the recess 9 turned upwards, then the part 34 of the pin 33 is inserted into the orifice 13. The branch 3 is then placed with its flat face turned upwards and its intermediate region 23 placed on the bottom of the portion 12 of the recess 9, a notch 25 slipping on the portion 35 of the pin.

On pose ensuite la plaquette 4 sur l'ensemble, de sorte que la partie 36 du pion 33 traverse l'orifice 30 et que chaque téton 16 traverse un orifice 29. La coupelle 37 et le ressort 39 sont mis en place, puis la rondelle 38 est fixée par rivetage sur l'extrémité supérieure du pion 33. Enfin, les deux tétons 16 sont bouterollés dans les orifices 29.The plate 4 is then placed on the assembly, so that the portion 36 of the pin 33 passes through the orifice 30 and each pin 16 passes through an orifice 29. The cup 37 and the spring 39 are put in place, then the washer 38 is fixed by riveting on the upper end of the pin 33. Finally, the two pins 16 are riveted in the orifices 29.

Pour régler l'ouverture des mors 6 et 21, on presse la rondelle 38 jusqu'à l'escamoter dans la coupelle 37 à l'encontre du ressort 39. C'est alors la partie 36 du pion 33 qui se trouve dans la lumière 34, ce qui permet de déplacer le pion le long de cette lumière. Lorsqu'on relâche la rondelle 38, le ressort 39 ramène la partie 35 dans un cran 25 de la lumière 24, ce qui définit un pivot d'articulation fixe de la pince (Figure 6).To adjust the opening of the jaws 6 and 21, press the washer 38 to retract in the cup 37 against the spring 39. It is then the portion 36 of the pin 33 which is in the light 34, which moves the pawn along this light. When the washer 38 is released, the spring 39 brings the portion 35 back into a notch 25 of the lumen 24, which defines a fixed articulation pivot of the clamp ( Figure 6 ).

Comme on le voit bien sur la Figure 6, grâce à la section en Ω de la plaquette 4, l'épaisseur des branches 2 et 3 peut être limitée à E, c'est-à-dire au double de l'épaisseur des zones intermédiaires d'articulation 8 et 23 des deux branches.As can be seen from the Figure 6 , thanks to the Ω section of the wafer 4, the thickness of the branches 2 and 3 can be limited to E, that is to say twice the thickness of the intermediate hinge zones 8 and 23 of the two branches.

Par ailleurs, quel que soit le réglage choisi, les poignées des deux branches ont un rapprochement limité de façon à empêcher le pincement des doigts de l'utilisateur. La butée est fournie, pour le cran 25 avant, par le contact des deux mors et, pour les autres crans, par le contact du dos de la région 23 avec le bord avant 20 de la saillie 18. Cette saillie peut d'ailleurs, en variante, également limiter la fermeture de la pince pour le cran 25 avant.Moreover, whatever the chosen setting, the handles of the two branches have a limited approximation so as to prevent the pinching of the fingers of the user. The stop is provided, for the notch 25 before, by the contact of the two jaws and, for other notches, by the contact of the back of the region 23 with the front edge 20 of the projection 18. This projection can also, alternatively, also limit the closure of the forceps for the front notch.

Il est à noter que l'orientation sensiblement verticale du bord 20 a pour résultat que même si l'utilisateur force l'outil vers la fermeture, il n'en résulte aucune sollicitation de la plaquette 4 à l'expulsion vers le haut.It should be noted that the substantially vertical orientation of the edge 20 has the result that even if the user forces the tool towards the closure, it does not result in any solicitation of the wafer 4 at the expulsion upwards.

Si, après un certain temps d'utilisation, les tétons 16 prennent du jeu ou se déforment par cisaillement, la plaquette vient buter, lors du serrage, sur les épaulements convergents 15, ce qui limite la déformation des éléments de la pince et assure le maintien en place de la plaquette.If, after a certain period of use, the studs 16 become loose or deform by shearing, the plate abuts, during tightening, on the convergent shoulders 15, which limits the deformation of the elements of the clamp and ensures the keeping the plate in place.
