Description

La présente invention concerne un outil à main habituellement appelé chevillette de maçon, telle que décrite dans le préambule de la revendication 1. Une telle chevillette est connue du document BE 1010202. Les chevillettes sont couramment utilisées dans le domaine du bâtiment, en particulier pour faire des coffrages.The present invention relates to a hand tool usually called a bricklayer's peg, as described in the preamble of the claim 1. Such a peg is known from BE 1010202. The pegs are commonly used in the field of building, especially for formwork.

La figure 1 illustre une chevillette classique 1 qui comporte une broche 2 et un bras formant valet 3. L'ensemble assemblé est montré à la figure 1A, alors que la figure 1B montre le valet tout seul, avant assemblage.FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional peg 1 which comprises a pin 2 and a valet arm 3. The assembled assembly is shown at Figure 1A, while Figure 1B shows the jack alone before assembly.

Le valet 3 présente une première extrémité 4 pourvue d'un trou traversant 5 adapté au contour de la broche 2 afin de permettre au valet 3 de coulisser suivant la longueur de la broche, entre la pointe 6 et la tête de frappe 7 de celle-ci. A sa deuxième extrémité 8 opposée à la première, le valet 3 est pourvu d'une surface d'appui 9 qui, comme illustré à la figure 1B, est avantageusement pourvue d'aspérités sous forme de picots.The valet 3 has a first end 4 provided with a hole through 5 adapted to the outline of the pin 2 to allow the valet 3 to slide along the length of the pin, between the tip 6 and the head of hit 7 of it. At its second end 8 opposite to the first, the valet 3 is provided with a bearing surface 9 which, as illustrated in FIG. 1B, is advantageously provided with asperities in the form of pins.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1B, le trou traversant 5 du valet 3 est carré et adapté à la section de la broche 2 qui est également carré et ces deux éléments sont assemblés tout simplement en enfilant le valet sur la broche.In the example illustrated in FIG. 1B, the through hole 5 of the valet 3 is square and fits the section of pin 2 which is also square and these two elements are assembled simply by threading the valet on the spit.

D'autres sections de la broche existent également, en particulier une section circulaire et une section octogonale qui présentent l'avantage de ne pas exiger un positionnement angulaire exact lors de l'utilisation.Other sections of the brooch also exist, especially a circular section and an octagonal section that have the advantage not to require exact angular positioning during use.

Le valet 3 peut facilement être rendu imperdable, par une légère déformation près de la pointe 6, ce qui empêchera le valet de ressortir, alors que la tête 7 l'empêchera de sortir à l'extrémité opposée.The valet 3 can easily be made captive, by a slight deformation near point 6, which will prevent the valet from coming out, while the head 7 will prevent it from going out at the opposite end.

Les chevillettes sont couramment utilisées pour effectuer des coffrages, mais trouvent beaucoup d'autres utilisations comme par exemple pour l'installation d'une fenêtre ou pour la construction d'une paroi dans une pièce.The pegs are commonly used to perform formwork but find a lot of other uses like example for the installation of a window or for the construction of a wall in a room.

Pour faire un coffrage, les chevillettes servent d'outils de maintien en place temporaire d'une règle ou planchette 10 (figures 8, 9) qui est destinée à délimiter le volume à couler de béton, par exemple dans un mur de béton ou de parpaings.To make a formwork, the pegs serve as holding tools in place of a rule or clipboard 10 (Figures 8, 9) which is intended to delimit the volume to pour concrete, for example in a wall concrete or breeze blocks.

Pour appliquer la chevillette sur un mur de béton, il faut commencer par percer un trou à proximité de l'endroit ou l'on souhaite fixer la règle et ensuite introduire la broche 2 de la chevillette dans ce trou qui est bien entendu adapté au diamètre de la broche. La règle doit entre-temps être maintenue manuellement contre le mur à l'endroit souhaité, éventuellement positionnée à l'aide d'un niveau, suite à quoi il faut rapprocher le valet de la règle en le déplaçant le long de la broche jusqu'à ce que sa surface d'appui 9 vienne reposer contre la règle. Ensuite, on frappe à l'aide d'un marteau sur le valet pour serrer la règle contre le mur.To apply the peg to a concrete wall, it is necessary to start by drilling a hole near where you want fix the ruler and then insert pin 2 of the peg into this hole which is of course adapted to the diameter of the spindle. The rule must meanwhile be manually held against the wall at the desired location, possibly positioned using a level, following which it is necessary bring the valet closer to the ruler by moving it along the spindle until that its bearing surface 9 comes to rest against the rule. Then we hammer the valet with a hammer to tighten the ruler against the wall.

Cette application de la chevillette sur un mur de béton est déjà relativement compliquée et le devient encore plus quand on souhaite appliquer la chevillette 1 sur un mur creux constitué de blocs de construction comme les parpaings ou d'autres blocs creux. A cause de l'absence de matière dans les cavités, on est alors obligé de placer la broche dans un joint entre deux blocs juxtaposés. Dans un mur déjà existant et revêtu d'un enduit, il peut être difficile de retrouver un joint, mais il est exclu de placer la broche dans un creux puisqu'elle serait dans ce cas arrachée au premier coup de marteau contre le valet.This application of the peg on a concrete wall is already relatively complicated and becomes even more so when one wishes apply the peg 1 on a hollow wall made of blocks of construction like breeze blocks or other hollow blocks. Because of the absence of material in the cavities, it is then necessary to place the pin in a joint between two juxtaposed blocks. In a wall already existing and coated with a coating, it can be difficult to find a joint, but it is impossible to place the pin in a hollow since it would be in this case torn at the first blow of the hammer against the valet.

Ainsi, après avoir repéré le joint et l'endroit optimal pour l'emplacement de la broche en fonction de l'emplacement souhaité de la règle, on commence par frapper très fort sur la tête 7 de la broche 2 pour l'enfoncer d'environ 10 cm dans le joint pour pouvoir mettre ensuite la règle en place en déplaçant le valet sur la broche pour que sa surface d'appui vienne reposer contre la règle. Ensuite, on procède comme déjà mentionné ci-dessus, mais il ne faut pas frapper trop fort sur le valet 3 pour éviter que la broche 2 ne soit arrachée du joint ou que la règle ne se décale d'une manière non souhaitée.So, after spotting the joint and the optimal location for the location of the pin according to the desired location of the rule, we start by hitting very hard on the head 7 of pin 2 for push it about 10 cm into the joint so that you can then put the rule in place by moving the jack on the spindle so that its surface of support come to rest against the rule. Then we proceed as already mentioned above, but do not hit too hard on valet 3 to prevent pin 2 from being torn off the seal or the rule shifts in an unwanted way.

Il est évident que cette opération de mise en place d'une règle contre un mur, en particulier lorsque celui-ci est constitué de blocs creux, est une opération particulièrement difficile qui nécessite pratiquement une intervention de deux personne à la fois, l'une pour maintenir la règle en place et l'autre pour positionner les chevillettes.It is obvious that this operation of setting up a rule against a wall, especially when it consists of hollow blocks, is a particularly difficult operation that practically requires a two people at a time, one to maintain the rule in place and the other to position the pegs.

Finalement, après utilisation, il est parfois difficile de retirer la broche du mur pour récupérer la chevillette sans la déformer inutilement puisqu'elle doit en général être utilisée un grand nombre de fois.Finally, after use, it is sometimes difficult to remove the pin of the wall to recover the peg without deforming it unnecessarily since it must in general be used a large number of times.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer une chevillette qui permet de remédier à tous les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus. Elle est particulièrement bien adaptée pour être utilisée sur des blocs creux comme les parpaings et les briques. En plus, la chevillette selon l'invention apporte de nombreux avantages, entre autres les suivants :

  • qu'elle soit utilisée dans des matériaux pleins ou creux, elle peut être montée dans le même trou plusieurs fois sans que la broche soit arrachée du trou ;
  • elle permet une application et un maintien en place extrêmement exacts d'une règle contre un mur ;
  • elle peut être mise en place sans aucun choc qui pourrait provoquer le dérèglement de pièces de niveau lors de l'installation ;
  • elle ne déforme pas, n'écrase pas et ne marque pas les pièces à serrer ;
  • elle présente une résistance excellente aux forces d'arrachement de la broche lors de la mise en place de la chevillette.
The object of the invention is to provide a peg which overcomes all the disadvantages mentioned above. It is particularly well suited for use on hollow blocks such as blocks and bricks. In addition, the peg according to the invention brings many advantages, among others the following:
  • whether used in solid or hollow materials, it can be mounted in the same hole several times without the pin being torn off the hole;
  • it allows extremely exact application and retention of a ruler against a wall;
  • it can be put in place without any shock that could cause the disruption of level parts during installation;
  • it does not distort, crush or mark the parts to be tightened;
  • it has excellent resistance to the pulling forces of the spindle during the introduction of the peg.

L'objet de l'invention est une chevillette de maçon, comportant une broche associée à un bras formant valet faisant saillie d'un côté de la broche, le valet présentant une première extrémité pourvue d'un trou traversant adapté au contour de la broche afin de permettre au valet de coulisser suivant la longueur de la broche, entre une pointe et une tête de celle-ci, et une deuxième extrémité pourvue d'une surface d'appui permettant de retenir une pièce telle qu'une règle contre une surface dans laquelle la broche a préalablement été enfoncée sur une partie de sa longueur, caractérisée par le fait que ladite deuxième extrémité du valet comporte un trou traversant taraudé recevant en coopération une tige filetée s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à la broche et portant ladite surface d'appui à une première de ses extrémités, ladite broche étant une broche torsadée.The object of the invention is a bricklayer peg, comprising a pin associated with a valet arm protruding from one side of the pin, the valet having a first end provided with a hole through the spindle contour to allow the valet to slide along the length of the spindle, between a point and a head of this, and a second end provided with a bearing surface to hold a piece such as a ruler against a surface in which pin was previously pressed on part of its length, characterized by the fact that said second end of the jack has a threaded through hole cooperatively receiving a rod threaded portion extending substantially parallel to the spindle and carrying said bearing surface at a first end, said pin being a twisted pin.

Dans les figures, les éléments identiques ou équivalents par rapport à la chevillette déjà décrite en référence aux figures 1A et 1B ne seront pas de nouveau décrits en détail.In the figures, identical or equivalent elements relative to the peg already described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B will not be described again in detail.

La figure 2 montre l'ensemble des éléments constitutifs d'une chevillette selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention. Elle comporte une broche 12 associée à un bras formant valet 13. Le valet 13 est à une première (14) de ses extrémités pourvu d'un manchon 15 définissant un trou traversant 16 (voir figures 6 et 7) recevant la broche 12. Dans l'exemple illustré, ce trou 16 est un trou lisse adapté au contour de la broche 12 pour pouvoir coulisser suivant la longueur de celle-ci, entre la pointe 17 et la tête 18 de cette dernière.Figure 2 shows all the constituent elements of a peg according to one embodiment of the invention. It has a pin 12 associated with an arm forming a valet 13. The valet 13 is at a first (14) of its ends provided with a sleeve 15 defining a through hole 16 (see Figures 6 and 7) receiving pin 12. In the illustrated example, this hole 16 is a smooth hole adapted to the contour of the pin 12 to slide along the length thereof, between the tip 17 and the head 18 of the latter.

La broche 12 est une broche torsadée comme cela est illustré aux figures et le trou traversant 16 est par conséquent un trou circulaire. La broche a de préférence une section carrée et présente des arêtes sur toute sa périphérie à partir de la pointe 17 jusqu'à un tronçon relativement court disposé immédiatement en dessous de la tête 18.Pin 12 is a twisted pin like this is illustrated in the figures and the through hole 16 is therefore a circular hole. The spindle preferably has a square section and presents ridges on its entire periphery from tip 17 to a relatively short section immediately below the head 18.

La deuxième extrémité 19 du valet 13 est pourvue d'un deuxième manchon 20 définissant un trou traversant 21 qui est taraudé et dont le filet coopère avec le filet d'une tige filetée 22 traversant le trou 21 et s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à la broche 12.The second end 19 of the valet 13 is provided with a second sleeve 20 defining a through hole 21 which is tapped and whose thread cooperates with the thread of a threaded rod 22 passing through the hole 21 and extending substantially parallel to the pin 12.

Cette tige filetée 22 constitue en effet un organe de serrage et elle porte dans ce but à une première (23) de ses extrémités une surface d'appui 24 destinée à venir en appui contre une règle à fixer sur une surface. Dans l'exemple illustré, cette surface d'appui 24 est disposée sur un élément formant pied 25 beaucoup plus large que l'extrémité 23 de la tige 22 afin d'augmenter la surface de contact et de serrage.This threaded rod 22 constitutes indeed a clamping member and carries for this purpose to a first (23) of its ends a surface support 24 intended to bear against a rule to be fixed on a area. In the example shown, this support surface 24 is arranged on a foot member 25 much wider than the end 23 of the rod 22 to increase the contact area and clamping.

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, le pied 25 est relié à la première extrémité 23 de la tige filetée 22 par une articulation à rotule 26. Cette articulation comporte un organe de liaison sphérique 27 relié par un axe 28 à la première extrémité 23 de la tige filetée 22 et placé dans un évidement formant logement 28 sur la face supérieure du pied 25, ce qui permet à la tige filetée d'être inclinée par rapport au plan de la surface contre laquelle la surface d'appui 24 est appliquée.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the foot 25 is connected to the first end 23 of the threaded rod 22 by a hinge ball joint 26. This articulation comprises a spherical connecting member 27 connected by an axis 28 to the first end 23 of the threaded rod 22 and placed in a recess forming a housing 28 on the upper face of the foot 25, which allows the threaded rod to be inclined relative to the plane of the surface against which the bearing surface 24 is applied.

L'organe de liaison sphérique 27 est retenu à l'intérieur de l'évidement 28 par un simple sertissage vers l'intérieur du rebord autour de l'ouverture de l'évidement 29.The spherical connecting member 27 is retained within the recess 28 by a simple crimping inward of the rim around the opening of the recess 29.

La tige filetée 22 est à sa deuxième extrémité 30 pourvue d'une poignée de vissage 31 qui dans l'exemple illustré est constituée d'une barrette transversale reliée à l'extrémité 30 de la tige 22 de manière à former avec cette dernière un élément en T. Bien entendu, beaucoup d'autres variantes de la poignée peuvent être envisagées.The threaded rod 22 is at its second end 30 provided with a screwing handle 31 which in the illustrated example consists of a crossbar connected to the end 30 of the rod 22 so as to form with the latter a T-shaped element. Of course, many other variants of the handle can be envisaged.

La tige filetée 22 présente avantageusement au moins un méplat longitudinal 32 s'étendant sur sa périphérie et de préférence sur toute la partie filetée de la tige afin d'éviter que les filets de la tige 22 respectivement du trou traversant 21 du valet 13 soient encrassés par des particules tombant lors de l'utilisation de la chevillette.The threaded rod 22 advantageously has at least one flat part longitudinal axis 32 extending over its periphery and preferably over the entire threaded part of the rod to prevent the threads of the rod 22 respectively of the through hole 21 of the valet 13 are fouled by particles falling when using the peg.

De préférence, deux méplats longitudinaux 32 sont prévus sur la tige filetée 22 et disposés de manière à s'étendre dans des plans parallèles l'un à l'autre. Preferably, two longitudinal flats 32 are provided on the threaded rod 22 and arranged to extend in parallel planes to one another.

Avantageusement, la tête 18 de la broche 12 présente sur sa périphérie une forme non circulaire de manière à pouvoir coopérer avec une forme adaptée à l'intérieur du trou traversant 15 du valet 13, à l'ouverture de ce trou vers l'extérieur. De cette manière, la broche et le valet peuvent être solidarisés en rotation de sorte que le valet peut faire fonction de manivelle pour dégager la broche par un mouvement de vissage après utilisation de la chevillette. Ainsi, le retrait de la broche 12 est largement facilité par le fait que la broche est torsadée de sorte qu'une action de dévissage est en effet obtenue.Advantageously, the head 18 of the pin 12 has on its periphery a non-circular shape so as to cooperate with a shape adapted inside the through hole 15 of the valet 13, to the opening of this hole to the outside. In this way, the spindle and the valet can be secured in rotation so that the valet can do crank function to clear the spindle by a movement of screwing after use of the peg. So, removing the pin 12 is greatly facilitated by the fact that the pin is twisted so that a Unscrewing action is indeed obtained.

La forme non circulaire de la tête 18 de la broche 12 peut comme illustré sur les figures être une forme à section carrée s'évasant vers l'extérieur et qui coopère avec la paroi du trou 16 du manchon 15, ce trou présentant à son extrémité extérieure une forme qui est au moins partiellement complémentaire de la forme de la tête 18 de la broche 12. Les figures 6 et 7 montrent comment des incisions inclinées 33 ont été effectuées à l'extrémité extérieure du trou 16 pour coopérer avec les arêtes de la forme carrée de la tête 18 de la broche 12.The non-circular shape of the head 18 of the pin 12 can be illustrated in the figures be a square section form flaring towards outside and which cooperates with the wall of the hole 16 of the sleeve 15, this hole having at its outer end a shape that is at least partially complementary to the shape of the head 18 of the spindle 12. Figures 6 and 7 show how inclined incisions 33 were made at the outer end of the hole 16 to cooperate with the edges of the square shape of the head 18 of the spindle 12.

La chevillette selon l'invention fonctionne de la manière suivante.The peg according to the invention operates as follows.

Pour fixer et retenir par exemple une règle ou planchette à l'aide de la chevillette 11 selon l'invention sur un mur pour y effectuer un coffrage, il faut d'abord déterminer si le mur est un mur plein ou creux. Si le mur est plein comme un mur fabriqué en béton ou s'il est en pierre, un trou d'environ 8 cm de profondeur doit d'abord être percé dans le mur pour recevoir la broche 12 de la chevillette. Cependant, si le mur est creux, par exemple composé de parpaings ou de briques, il suffit d'enfoncer la broche à l'endroit souhaité à l'aide d'un marteau.For example, to fix and hold a rule or clipboard using of the peg 11 according to the invention on a wall to perform a formwork, one must first determine if the wall is a solid wall or hollow. Yes the wall is solid like a wall made of concrete or if it is stone, a hole approximately 8 cm deep must first be drilled into the wall to receive the pin 12 of the peg. However, if the wall is hollow, for example composed of blocks or bricks, it suffices push the spindle to the desired location with a hammer.

La figure 8 illustre le montage de la chevillette 11 sur un bloc creux 34. Il est dans ce cas indispensable que la broche Il soit enfoncée suffisamment loin pour traverser deux parois du bloc, c'est-à-dire la paroi extérieure 35 et au moins une paroi intérieure 36.FIG. 8 illustrates the mounting of the peg 11 on a block hollow 34. It is in this case essential that the pin It is pressed far enough to cross two walls of the block, that is to say the wall 35 and at least one inner wall 36.

Ensuite, la règle 10 est placée à l'endroit souhaité, éventuellement positionnée à l'aide d'un niveau, suite à quoi le valet peut ensuite être déplacé suivant la broche 12 jusqu'à ce que la surface d'appui 24 à l'extrémité de la tige filetée 22 vienne reposer contre la règle. La surface d'appui 24 est ensuite pressée contre la règle en vissant la tige filetée 22 à l'aide de la poignée 31 jusqu'à l'obtention d'un bon serrage de la règle contre le mur.Then rule 10 is placed at the desired place, eventually positioned with the help of a level, after which the valet can then be moved along the pin 12 until the support surface 24 to the end of the threaded rod 22 comes to rest against the rule. The surface 24 is then pressed against the ruler by screwing the threaded rod 22 to using the handle 31 until you obtain a good tightening of the ruler against the wall.

Il est également à noter que lorsqu'on visse la tige filetée 22 vers la règle 10, la partie de la broche 12 qui se trouve en dehors du bloc creux 34 sera fléchie vers le bas de la figure 8, ce qui a pour effet que la partie de la broche qui se trouve à l'intérieur du bloc 34 sera sollicitée contre les parois des trous autour de la broche. Cet effet de coincement est en plus amélioré du fait que la broche est torsadée et les arêtes sur la périphérie de la broche vont ainsi coopérer avec les parois des trous pour mieux retenir la broche dans le bloc.It should also be noted that when screwing the threaded rod 22 towards the rule 10, the part of the pin 12 which is outside the hollow block 34 will be flexed to the bottom of Figure 8, which results in the part of the pin which is inside the block 34 will be solicited against walls of holes around the spit. This jamming effect is in addition improved because the spindle is twisted and the edges on the periphery of the pin will cooperate with the walls of the holes to better retain the pin in the block.

Pour obtenir un bon fléchissement de la broche 12 il vaut mieux que le bras de levier soit important, c'est-à-dire que le manchon 15 du valet 13 doit se trouver relativement près de la tête 18 de la broche 12 quand on commence à visser la tige filetée 22. Pour encore déporter la première extrémité 14 du valet 13 vers l'extérieur, le valet est avantageusement cintré dans une zone médiane.To get a good sag of pin 12 it is better that the lever arm is important, that is to say that the sleeve 15 of the valet 13 should be relatively close to the head 18 of pin 12 when we start to screw the threaded rod 22. To further deport the first end 14 of the valet 13 to the outside, the valet is advantageously bent in a central zone.

Il doit également être observé qu'en aucun moment, on n'est obligé de frapper sur le valet pour serrer la règle et pour cette raison, il n'y a plus aucun risque d'arracher la broche lors de la mise en place de la chevillette.It must also be observed that at no time is one obliged to hit the jack to tighten the rule and for this reason, there is more no risk of tearing the spindle when placing the peg.
