Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device and / or assembly comprising two elements respectively having elongate teeth and openings for receiving said teeth when the two elements are assembled, the two elements being separable after being assembled (see for example US-A-5634245).
  • Fixing devices comprising two elements intended to be assembled with each other are known, in particular from the patents FR-A-2090786 and WO-A-96/41551.
  • FR-A-2090786 there is described a device comprising two elements in the form of plates, one of which has fibers with hooks and the other of which has loop-shaped fibers for hooking. on the hooks of the first elements.
  • This device is well known as "VELCRO".
  • the French document also contains a critique of the measures prior to April 29, 1970, which is the filing date of the Swiss priority.
  • WO-A-96/41551 discloses a shoe attachment device for replacing laces.
  • the device includes a first tongue-shaped portion having apertures and a second plate-shaped portion having hook-shaped ridges.
  • the tongue is intended to hang on the hooks.
  • This device is very close to that described in US-A-4727659. Indeed, in the latter document it describes an attachment device comprising two elements, one of which has mushroom-shaped protuberances intended to be placed in circular openings provided in the second element.
  • the devices described in the documents cited above are relatively satisfactory, they have some defects.
  • the first device described in document FR-A-2090786 has the defect of not being precise in its positioning
  • the second device described in document WO-A-96/41551 if it is precise in its positioning, it has the defect to wear relatively quickly and therefore not to ensure a good maintenance.
  • the invention aims to provide a device that does not have the defects of known devices, that is to say that allows a precise positioning and that does not wear easily, ensuring good maintenance even after a long use .
  • a device according to the invention comprises elastic teeth which can be used a large number of times without being damaged and which require to assemble its two elements a certain force on the part of the user, which ensures a good maintenance, because it will require a substantially identical force to separate the two elements.
  • FIG. 1 very schematically represents a first embodiment of the fixing and / or assembly device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1a shows a first element A comprising a part 1, which may be a plate or a strip or a polyhedron, but which is a plate, in the present representation, shown in section or in view.
  • part 1 are attached teeth 2, which came from molding in the embodiment shown.
  • Said teeth 2 comprise a tip 3 and have a circular or polygonal section. In this embodiment the teeth are straight.
  • FIG 1b there is shown a second element B to be assembled to the first element A of Figure 1a.
  • Said element B is shown in view, it is elongated parallelepipedal shape 4 and having at least one line of openings 5 shown in broken lines.
  • the sections of the openings (not shown) are identical to the sections of the teeth 2 of the element A of Figure 1a, against said openings have a curvature in the longitudinal direction.
  • the teeth of the element A penetrate into the openings of the element B; which has been shown in Figure 1c.
  • This operation requires a certain force for the teeth 2 to bend and a substantially identical force will be necessary to disassemble or separate the two elements A and B. In this way we obtain a precise and relatively solid assembly.
  • the length of the teeth 2 is, in the embodiment shown, greater than the depth of the openings 5 of the element B, but this length could be just equal to or shorter than said depth 5. Which in certain uses will bring an aesthetic effect, for example when the device of the invention is used as closure device for a belt or a shoe.
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically shows a second embodiment of said device according to the invention. To facilitate understanding the same reference signs have been kept as in Figure 1, to which a bonus (') has been added.
  • FIG. 2a there is shown a first element A 'having a portion 1', which may be a plate or a strip, but which is in the present representation shown in section or in view.
  • a portion 1' which may be a plate or a strip, but which is in the present representation shown in section or in view.
  • teeth 2' which have come from molding in the embodiment shown.
  • Said teeth 2 ' have a tip 3' and have a circular or polygonal section. In this embodiment the teeth are curved.
  • FIG 2b there is shown a second element B 'to be assembled to the first element A' of Figure 2a.
  • Said element B ' is, as for the embodiment of Figure 1, shown in view, it is elongate parallelepipedal shape 4' and having at least one line of openings 5 'shown in broken lines.
  • the sections of the openings (not shown) are identical to the sections of the teeth 2 'of the element A' of FIG. 2a, whereas the said openings are straight in the longitudinal direction, that is to say in the direction of the depth.
  • FIG. 4 represents a use of a device according to the invention, in particular a bar for the hair.
  • the bar has two parts A and B.
  • Part A ( Figure 4a) comprises an elongated parallelepiped portion 51 having straight teeth 52 having tips 53 on one of its sides .
  • the portion A has at one of its ends a mushroom-shaped rod 54.
  • the portion B (FIG 4b) comprises a body 55 having openings 56 having a curvature in the direction of their length for receiving the teeth 52 of the part A.
  • the part B has at one of its ends means 57 for receiving and holding the mushroom-shaped rod 54 of the part A.
  • Figure 4c there is shown the two parts A and B assemblies.
  • FIG. 5 shows another use of a device according to the invention, including a clip or clip for clothing.
  • the clip comprises two parts A and B bonded to each other by a thread or cord 68.
  • Part A (FIG 5) comprises an elongate parallelepipedal portion 61 having straight teeth 62 having tips 63 on them. one of its sides.
  • Part B (FIG 5) comprises a body 65 having openings 66 having a curvature in the direction of their length for receiving the teeth 62 of the part A.
  • the use of said clamp is as follows: Place the element B on one side of the tissue that is to be fixed and push the part A into the part B, making sure to cross the tissue with the teeth 62, then tighten the two parts A and B against each other. the other, so the fabric will be maintained.
  • teeth 52 and 62 curves and openings 56 and 66 straight in the direction of their depth.
  • a third use could comprise elements A with teeth on at least two opposite faces so as to be assembled with two elements B simultaneously.
  • the element could also have a polyhedral body having several faces with teeth.
  • the assembly could be made so that either the element A or the element B has an unassembled part, that is to say a free part to receive another element. In this way we would build, which is to say that the device according to the invention could be used as a game.
  • the two elements A and B of a device according to the invention will be made of any suitable elastically flexible material, that is to say which can be deformed (folded) and which takes its form when the effort has disappeared, for example synthetic material or metal, such as steel or aluminum.
