Description

L'invention concerne un ensemble d'un appareil de scellement de tampon et d'une coiffe selon le préambule de la revendication 1 et une coiffe selon le préambule de la revendication 7. Un tel ensemble et une telle coiffe sont connus du document US 4375867 .The invention relates to an assembly of a tampon sealing apparatus and a cap according to the preamble of claim 1 and a cap according to the preamble of claim 7. Such a set and such a cap are known from the document US 4375867 .

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un appareil de scellement qui comporte, dans le prolongement d'un canon, un guide-tampon dont le rôle est de guider l'élément de fixation, ou tampon, dans le matériau destiné à le recevoir. Le guide-tampon coopère avec un pied d'appui pour positionner l'appareil par rapport à la surface du matériau.More specifically, the invention relates to a sealing apparatus which comprises, in the extension of a barrel, a buffer guide whose role is to guide the fastener element, or buffer, in the material intended to receive it. The buffer guide cooperates with a support foot to position the apparatus relative to the surface of the material.

L'introduction du tampon se fait dans une direction perpendiculaire à la surface du matériau. Ainsi, lors de la fixation de tampons dans un plafond, l'appareil se trouve au moment de la fixation au-dessous du plafond et est donc susceptible de recevoir des poussières et autres éclats provenant de l'introduction du tampon. Cela a pour effet d'accélérer l'usure de la mécanique de l'appareil, ainsi que d'en gêner le fonctionnement.The introduction of the tampon is in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the material. Thus, when fixing buffers in a ceiling, the device is at the time of fixing below the ceiling and is therefore likely to receive dust and other chips from the introduction of the buffer. This has the effect of accelerating the wear of the mechanism of the device, as well as to hinder its operation.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.

A cet effet la présente demande concerne un ensemble d'un appareil de scellement de tampon et d'une coiffe, l'appareil de scellement comprenant un guide-tampon et un pied d'appui qui coopère avec le guide-tampon pour positionner l'appareil par rapport à la surface du matériau destiné à recevoir un tampon, la coiffe étant agencée pour coiffer l'appareil et comportant des moyens agencés pour coopérer avec le guide-tampon, des moyens agencés pour coopérer avec le pied d'appui et ainsi retenir la coiffe sur l'appareil.For this purpose the present application relates to an assembly of a tampon sealing apparatus and a cap, the sealing apparatus comprising a buffer guide and a support foot which cooperates with the buffer guide to position the apparatus relative to the surface of the material for receiving a buffer, the cap being arranged to cap the apparatus and having means arranged to cooperate with the buffer guide, means arranged to cooperate with the support foot and thus retain the cap on the device.

Ainsi, c'est par le pied d'appui et le guide-tampon que l'appareil retient la coiffe.Thus, it is by the support foot and the buffer guide that the device retains the cap.

De préférence, il est prévu dans la coiffe une lumière de passage du guide-tampon ainsi qu'une lumière de passage du pied d'appui.Preferably, there is provided in the cap a passage of the buffer guide passage and a passage passage of the foot support.

De préférence encore, la coiffe est retenue sur l'appareil, plus particulièrement au moment du tir, par arc-boutement de la coiffe entre la lumière de passage du guide-tampon et la lumière de passage du pied d'appui.More preferably, the cap is retained on the apparatus, more particularly at the time of firing, by buttressing the cap between the passage of the guidewire passage light and passage of the foot support.

De préférence toujours, la coiffe est munie de nervures de rigidification.Preferably still, the cap is provided with stiffening ribs.

Avantageusement, l'appareil comporte un bouton-poussoir, pour un magasin d'alimentation en tampons, et la coiffe comprend un évidement pour l'accès audit bouton-poussoir.Advantageously, the apparatus comprises a push button, for a buffer supply store, and the cap comprises a recess for access to said push button.

Avantageusement encore, la coiffe est munie d'un soufflet qui enserre le guide-tampon.Advantageously, the cap is provided with a bellows which encloses the buffer guide.

Ainsi la coiffe de l'invention comporte une tête percée, un fût et un pied percé.Thus the cap of the invention comprises a pierced head, a barrel and a pierced foot.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description suivante de la forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue partielle en perspective de l'ensemble de l'invention, lorsque la coiffe n'est pas emboîtée sur l'appareil de scellement ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue partielle en perspective de l'ensemble de la figure 1, lorsque la coiffe est emboîtée sur l'appareil de scellement ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue partielle de profil partiellement en coupe de l'ensemble de la figure 3 ;
  • la figure 4 représente une vue arrière en perspective de la coiffe de l'ensemble de l'invention et
  • la figure 5 représente une vue partielle de profil partiellement en coupe d'une autre forme de réalisation de l'ensemble de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • the figure 1 is a partial perspective view of the assembly of the invention, when the cap is not nested on the sealing apparatus;
  • the figure 2 represents a partial perspective view of the entire figure 1 when the cap is nested on the sealing apparatus;
  • the figure 3 is a partial sectional view partially in section of the whole of the figure 3 ;
  • the figure 4 represents a rear view in perspective of the cap of the assembly of the invention and
  • the figure 5 is a partial sectional view partially in section of another embodiment of the assembly of the invention.

La description sera faite en référence à un appareil de scellement fonctionnant grâce à du gaz comprimé, mais il va de soi que la demanderesse n'entend pas par là se limiter à ce type d'appareil de scellement. Tout autre appareil de scellement pourra être envisagé, par exemple les appareils de scellement utilisant des charges explosives.The description will be made with reference to a sealing apparatus operating with compressed gas, but it goes without saying that the applicant does not intend to be limited to this type of sealing apparatus. Any other sealing apparatus may be considered, for example sealing apparatus using explosive charges.

En outre la description qui suit sera faite dans le cas d'une position de l'appareil 3 verticale, c'est-à-dire telle que l'axe 4 du canon soit horizontal, la coiffe étant positionnée par rapport à l'appareil 3 en conséquence, afin de pouvoir y être emboîtée. Ainsi lorsque l'on parlera par exemple d'une face verticale de l'appareil, il s'agira en fait d'une face verticale dans cette position.Furthermore the following description will be made in the case of a position of the vertical apparatus 3, that is to say such that the axis 4 of the barrel is horizontal, the cap being positioned relative to the apparatus 3 so that it can be nested. So when we speak for example of a vertical face of the device, it will actually be a vertical face in this position.

En référence à la figure 1, l'ensemble 1 de la présente invention comporte un appareil de scellement 3 et une coiffe 2, destinés à être emboîtés l'un avec l'autre. L'appareil de scellement 3 comporte une poignée 36, un logement de cartouche de gaz comprimé 35, un magasin d'alimentation en tampons 33 et son bouton-poussoir 34, un guide-tampon 31 s'étendant suivant un axe 4, un pied d'appui 32 et un boîtier 37. La coiffe 2 est agencée en matière plastique rigide et est moulée d'une seule pièce. On peut toutefois distinguer trois parties au niveau de sa forme : une tête 25, un pied 26 et un fût 27. Ces trois parties sont conformées pour coiffer les parties de l'appareil de scellement 3 correspondantes. En outre la tête 25 comprend une lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31, le pied 26 comprend une lumière 22 de passage du pied d'appui 32, et le fût 27 comprend des nervures de rigidification 23.With reference to the figure 1 , the assembly 1 of the present invention comprises a sealing apparatus 3 and a cap 2, intended to be nested with each other. The sealing apparatus 3 comprises a handle 36, a compressed gas cartridge housing 35, a buffer supply magazine 33 and its push-button 34, a buffer guide 31 extending along an axis 4, a foot 32 and a housing 37. The cap 2 is made of rigid plastic material and is molded in one piece. However, one can distinguish three parts in terms of its shape: a head 25, a foot 26 and a shaft 27. These three parts are shaped to cover the parts of the sealing apparatus 3 corresponding. In addition the head 25 comprises a passage 21 through the buffer guide 31, the foot 26 includes a passage 22 of the support foot 32, and the shaft 27 comprises stiffening ribs 23.

L'utilisation, simplifiée, de l'appareil de scellement 3 est la suivante. Un opérateur tient l'appareil 3 par la poignée 36. Il met l'appareil 3 en appui sur la surface du matériau dans lequel il veut introduire un tampon, de façon à ce que l'axe 4 du guide-tampon 31 soit perpendiculaire à ladite surface. Le guide-tampon 31, qui est télescopique, va donc s'enfoncer légèrement. L'opérateur règle la perpendicularité de l'axe 4 avec la surface du matériau grâce à la coopération du guide-tampon 31 et du pied d'appui 32. L'appui du guide-tampon 31 est en outre utile au point de vue de la sécurité, puisque le tir du tampon ne peut être fait sans cet appui. Ainsi une fois le guide-tampon 31 en appui, il est possible de tirer. Grâce au gaz comprimé de la cartouche du logement 35, le tampon, provenant du magasin d'alimentation en tampons 33, qui peut être ouvert ou fermé grâce au bouton-poussoir 34, est introduit dans le support.The simplified use of the sealing apparatus 3 is as follows. An operator holds the device 3 by the handle 36. He puts the device 3 on the surface of the material in which he wants to introduce a buffer, so that the axis 4 of the buffer guide 31 is perpendicular to said surface. The buffer guide 31, which is telescopic, will thus sink slightly. The operator adjusts the perpendicularity of the axis 4 with the surface of the material through the cooperation of the buffer guide 31 and the support foot 32. The support of the buffer guide 31 is also useful from the point of view of security, since the firing of the buffer can not be done without this support. Thus once the buffer guide 31 in support, it is possible to shoot. Thanks to the compressed gas of the cartridge of the housing 35, the buffer, from the buffer supply magazine 33, which can be opened or closed by the push button 34, is introduced into the support.

Le rôle de la coiffe 2 est de coiffer l'appareil 3 et ainsi de le protéger contre l'éventuelle intrusion de poussières. Ainsi la tête 25, située autour de la lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31, coiffe la partie supérieure de l'appareil de scellement 3 ; elle coiffe et entoure en fait la partie supérieure de l'appareil de scellement, comme on le voit notamment grâce à sa partie 28, sauf ici du côté gauche où il est prévu un évidement 29 qui laisse l'accès libre au bouton-poussoir 34, une fois que la coiffe 2 est mise en place.The role of the cap 2 is to cap the device 3 and thus protect it against the possible intrusion of dust. Thus the head 25, located around the passage 21 of the buffer guide 31, caps the upper part of the sealing apparatus 3; it covers and in fact surrounds the upper part of the sealing apparatus, as can be seen especially thanks to its part 28, except here on the left side where there is provided a recess 29 which allows free access to the push-button 34 , once the cap 2 is put in place.

Le fût 27 consiste en une surface qui est, lorsque la coiffe 2 est sur l'appareil 3, quasiment verticale, éventuellement bombée, avec des retours 30 en direction de l'appareil 3. Elle protège la face avant verticale de l'appareil 3. Elle est pourvue de nervures de rigidification 23 s'étendant horizontalement, formées par exemple par déplacement de matière.The drum 27 consists of a surface which is, when the cap 2 is on the apparatus 3, almost vertical, possibly curved, with returns 30 towards the apparatus 3. It protects the vertical front face of the apparatus 3 It is provided with stiffening ribs 23 extending horizontally, formed for example by displacement of material.

Le pied 26 est conformé pour protéger la partie inférieure de l'appareil 3. Il y est en outre pratiqué une lumière 22 de passage du pied d'appui 32. De même la tête 25 comporte une lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31. Ainsi en emboîtant ces deux lumières 21, 22 sur le guide-tampon 31 et le pied d'appui 32, respectivement, la coiffe 2 se retrouve emboîtée sur l'appareil 3, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, et coiffe de cette manière toute la face avant de l'appareil 3. Cette face avant de l'appareil 3 est donc protégée contre l'éventuelle intrusion de poussières et autres éclats lors de l'introduction d'un tampon dans un support horizontal situé au-dessus de l'appareil 3, notamment.The foot 26 is shaped to protect the lower part of the apparatus 3. There is furthermore made a passageway 22 for passing the support foot 32. Similarly, the head 25 comprises a passageway 21 for passing through the buffer guide 31 Thus by fitting these two lights 21, 22 on the buffer guide 31 and the support foot 32, respectively, the cap 2 is found nested on the device 3, as seen on the figure 2 , and cap in this way the entire front face of the device 3. This front face of the device 3 is protected against the possible intrusion of dust and other chips when introducing a buffer into a horizontal support located above the apparatus 3, in particular.

En référence à la figure 3, on voit qu'une fois emboîtée la coiffe est bien plaquée contre l'appareil 3, et protège toute la face avant de l'appareil 3, à l'exception du guide-tampon 31 et du pied d'appui 32.With reference to the figure 3 , it is seen that once fitted the cap is well pressed against the device 3, and protects the entire front face of the device 3, with the exception of the buffer guide 31 and the support foot 32.

En référence à la figure 4, la coiffe 2 est donc moulé d'un seul bloc. Les lumières 21, 22 de passage du guide-tampon 31 et du pied-d'appui 32, respectivement, sont agencées de façon à retenir la coiffe 2 sur l'appareil 3, par coopération avec le guide-tampon 31 et le pied d'appui 32. Ainsi la coiffe 2 n'a pas besoin de comporter des éléments de fixation ou de maintien supplémentaires. Le maintien se fait par arc-boutement, surtout ici au moment du tir. En effet lors du tir il y a un recul au niveau du guide-tampon 31, qui provoque l'arc-boutement de la coiffe 2, entre les deux lumières 21, 22 de passage du guide-tampon 31 et du pied d'appui 32, respectivement ; cet arc-boutement retient la coiffe 2 sur l'appareil 3.With reference to the figure 4 , the cap 2 is molded in one piece. The apertures 21, 22 for passage of the buffer guide 31 and the support foot 32, respectively, are arranged to hold the cap 2 on the apparatus 3, in cooperation with the buffer guide 31 and the support foot. Thus, the cap 2 does not need to have additional fastening or holding elements. The maintenance is done by buttressing, especially here at the time of the shot. Indeed during firing there is a recoil at the buffer guide 31, which causes the bracing of the cap 2, between the two slots 21, 22 for passage of the buffer guide 31 and the support foot 32, respectively; this bracing retains the cap 2 on the device 3.

Enfin en référence à la figure 5, il peut être prévu un soufflet 40 sur l'axe 4 de la lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31. En effet la partie rigide 2' de la coiffe 2 s'arrête, au niveau de la lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31, à la limite de la partie 3' de l'appareil 3 qui reste fixe par rapport au boîtier 37 lors du tir, le guide-tampon 31 étant télescopique. Ainsi ce guide-tampon 31 télescopique est amené à s'enfoncer lors de la mise en appui de l'appareil 3, et à se déplacer sur son axe 4 lors du tir. C'est pour cela que la partie rigide 2' de la coiffe 2 ne peut s'appuyer dessus, car elle en gênerait le fonctionnement. Toutefois la protection contre les poussières peut également être intéressante au niveau de la jonction entre la partie fixe 3' et le guide-tampon 31 télescopique. C'est pour cela qu'il est proposé dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 7 d'ajouter un soufflet 40, dont l'extrémité libre 40" enserre le guide-tampon 31, l'autre extrémité 40' étant solidaire de la partie rigide 2' de la coiffe 2, au niveau de la lumière 21 de passage du guide-tampon 31. Ainsi lors des mouvements du guide-tampon 31, l'extrémité 40" du soufflet 40 reste en contact avec cette partie télescopique 31 et en suit le mouvement. Ce contact interdit l'introduction de poussières et protège la jonction entre la partie télescopique 31 et la partie fixe 3'.Finally with reference to the figure 5 , it can be provided a bellows 40 on the axis 4 of the passage passage 21 of the buffer guide 31. Indeed the rigid portion 2 'of the cap 2 stops, at the guide passage 21 of the light -tampon 31, at the limit of the 3 'part of the apparatus 3 which remains fixed relative to the housing 37 during firing, the buffer guide 31 being telescopic. Thus this telescopic buffer guide 31 is made to sink during the placing in support of the apparatus 3, and to move on its axis 4 during firing. That is why the rigid portion 2 'of the cap 2 can not lean on it because it would interfere with the operation. However the protection against dust can also be interesting at the junction between the fixed part 3 'and the telescopic buffer guide 31. That is why it is proposed in the embodiment of FIG. 7 to add a bellows 40 whose free end 40 "encloses the buffer guide 31, the other end 40 'being integral with the rigid portion 2 'of the cap 2, at the passageway 21 of the buffer guide 31. Thus during the movements of the buffer guide 31, the end 40 "of the bellows 40 remains in contact with this telescopic portion 31 and Follow the movement. This contact prevents the introduction of dust and protects the junction between the telescopic portion 31 and the fixed portion 3 '.
