Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pince étau.The present invention relates to a vice clamp.
La pince étau est un outil bien connu qui fait partie de la famille des pinces réglables.The vice clamp is a well known tool that is part of the family adjustable pliers.
Une pince étau dont un exemplaire est représenté sur la figure 1
comprend un carter 2 et deux mâchoires 6-8.A vise clamp, a copy of which is shown in FIG.
includes a
La mâchoire supérieure est fixe par rapport au carter tandis que la mâchoire inférieure est réglable, ce qui permet d'ajuster l'ouverture des mâchoires pour tenir des objets de formes diverses. Un mécanisme comprenant une vis sans fin et une molette de réglage permet de verrouiller et de déverrouiller les mâchoires sur l'objet à tenir ou à serrer.The upper jaw is fixed relative to the housing while the lower jaw is adjustable, which allows to adjust the opening of the jaws to hold objects of various shapes. A mechanism including a worm and a control wheel to lock and unlock the jaws on the object to hold or tighten.
Pour régler l'écartement des mâchoires, le carter 2 comprend
deux ailes 3 présentant chacune une rainure crantée 4.To adjust the gap of the jaws, the
La mâchoire inférieure est dotée d'un axe 5 qui est entré à la
presse dans un perçage pratiqué dans celle-ci. L'axe dépasse des surfaces
latérales de la mâchoire et s'engage dans chacune des rainures du carter.The lower jaw has an
Ainsi, cet axe qui équipe la mâchoire inférieure de la pince présente deux fonctions ; d'une part, il permet la rotation de la mâchoire inférieure ; et d'autre part, il permet à un utilisateur de faire coulisser la mâchoire inférieure pour régler l'ouverture des mâchoires.Thus, this axis that equips the lower jaw of the clamp has two functions on the one hand, it allows the rotation of the jaw lower; and on the other hand, it allows a user to slide the lower jaw to adjust the opening of the jaws.
A l'usage, il apparaít que le mode d'articulation de la mâchoire inférieure sur le carter n'est pas totalement satisfaisant sur plusieurs points.In use, it appears that the mode of articulation of the jaw lower on the crankcase is not totally satisfactory on several points.
Tout d'abord, il doit être noté que si la majeure partie des efforts subis par la pince s'exerce dans la direction longitudinale, il n'en demeure pas moins que des efforts non négligeables s'exercent également selon une composante transversale. Ces efforts transversaux peuvent entraíner une déformation du carter par un écartement de ses ailes.First of all, it should be noted that while most of the the force exerted by the gripper is exerted in the longitudinal direction, it does not remains no less than significant efforts are also being made according to a transverse component. These transversal efforts can to cause a deformation of the casing by a spacing of its wings.
Or, dans le cas où les ailes s'écartent l'une de l'autre d'une distance supérieure à la longueur de l'axe, il se produit inévitablement une rupture de la pince étau par séparation irrémédiable de la mâchoire inférieure par rapport au carter. La pince devient alors inutilisable.However, in the case where the wings deviate from one another distance greater than the length of the axis, there inevitably rupture of the vice clamp by irremediable separation of the jaw lower than the housing. The clip becomes unusable.
En deuxième lieu, le mode d'assemblage de l'axe sur la mâchoire inférieure est complexe à mettre en oeuvre puisque la ligne d'assemblage exige une gestion fine des tolérances d'usinage de l'axe et du perçage ainsi qu'une machine coûteuse à savoir une presse. Secondly, how the axis is assembled on the lower jaw is complex to implement since the line assembly requires careful management of the axis machining tolerances and drilling and an expensive machine namely a press.
Enfin, la manipulation d'une pince étau peut s'avérer inconfortable pour l'utilisateur. En effet, pour régler l'écartement des mâchoires, celui-ci saisit les deux extrémités de l'axe pour faire glisser celui-ci dans les rainures. Or les extrémités de l'axe présentent une forme saillante qui, à l'usage, est blessante pour l'utilisateur.Finally, the manipulation of a vise grip may prove uncomfortable for the user. Indeed, to adjust the spacing of jaws, this one grasps both ends of the axis to slide this one in the grooves. But the ends of the axis have a shape salient which, in use, is offensive to the user.
L'invention vise à fournir une pince étau capable d'encaisser des efforts transversaux tout en étant d'une fabrication peu coûteuse et d'utilisation plus confortable.The aim of the invention is to provide a vise grip capable of accommodating transversal efforts while being inexpensive and more comfortable use.
De manière connue en soi, la pince étau comprend deux ailes ayant chacune une rainure crantée recevant une mâchoire supérieure et une mâchoire inférieure, la mâchoire supérieure étant fixe par rapport au carter et la mâchoire inférieure présentant un axe d'articulation dont chaque extrémité est engagée dans une rainure crantée, et un mécanisme de verrouillage des mâchoires.In a manner known per se, the clamp comprises two wings each having a toothed groove receiving an upper jaw and a lower jaw, the upper jaw being stationary relative to the casing and the lower jaw having a hinge axis each of which end is engaged in a notched groove, and a mechanism of locking the jaws.
Selon l'invention, chaque extrémité de l'axe d'articulation présente un élément d'appui contre la face extérieure de chaque aile du carter.According to the invention, each end of the hinge axis has a support element against the outer face of each wing of the casing.
Ainsi l'idée de base de l'invention est de munir chacune des extrémités de l'axe d'articulation de la pince étau d'éléments qui vont venir en appui contre la face extérieure de chaque aile du carter, de telle sorte que les ailes ne pourront plus s'écarter l'une de l'autre de la pince étau dans le cas où la pince étau est soumise à des efforts selon une composante transversale.Thus, the basic idea of the invention is to provide each of the ends of the hinge axis of the vise clamp of elements that will come in support against the outer face of each wing of the housing, so that the wings can no longer move apart from each other in the case where the vice clamp is subjected to forces according to a transverse component.
Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, l'axe d'articulation présente à l'une de ses extrémités une tête et à sa seconde extrémité une rondelle.In a preferred embodiment, the hinge axis has at one of its ends a head and at its second end a washer.
Le montage de la pince étau est donc extrêmement aisé puisqu'il suffit d'engager l'axe d'une articulation dans la pince jusqu'à ce que la collerette vienne en appui sur le carter, puis une rondelle est fixée sur l'extrémité de l'axe d'articulation.The mounting of the vice clamp is therefore extremely easy since it suffices to engage the axis of a joint in the clamp until that the collar comes to rest on the housing, then a washer is fixed on the end of the hinge pin.
On note par ailleurs qu'un utilisateur souhaitant régler l'écartement des mâchoires appuiera sur la collerette et la rondelle, c'est-à-dire sur des surfaces planes et donc non blessantes.We also note that a user wishing to settle the spacing of the jaws will press on the collar and the washer, that is to say on flat and therefore non-offensive surfaces.
De plus, l'axe d'articulation présente un épaulement contre lequel la rondelle vient en appui. In addition, the hinge axis has a shoulder against which washer comes to bear.
Pour une liaison indémontable, la rondelle présente une fraisure contre laquelle s'appuie une lèvre pratiquée à l'extrémité libre de l'axe.For an unbreakable connection, the washer has a countersink against which rests a lip made at the free end of the axis.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est décrite en
référence au dessin ci-annexé représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatif
une forme de réalisation d'une pince étau selon celle-ci.
Comme cela est représenté sur la figure 2, la pince étau
comprend un carter 2 qui présente deux ailes 3. Une rainure crantée 4 est
ménagée dans chaque aile.As shown in Figure 2, the vise clamp
comprises a
Une mâchoire supérieure 6 est fixée sur le carter 2 par un rivet
7.An upper jaw 6 is fixed on the
Une mâchoire inférieure 8 est articulée sur le carter.A
La pince comprend, par ailleurs, une poignée 9 articulée sur la
mâchoire inférieure 8 et un mécanisme de verrouillage des deux mâchoires
l'une par rapport à l'autre. Ce mécanisme dont on peut voir une molette 10
de commande est classique et ne sera pas décrit plus en détail.The clip further comprises a handle 9 articulated on the
En se reportant à la figure 4, on peut voir que la mâchoire
inférieure présente un perçage 12 dans lequel est inséré un axe
d'articulation 13. A l'une de ses extrémités, l'axe d'articulation présente
une tête et, à sa seconde extrémité, l'axe présente un diamètre réduit
réalisant un épaulement 15.Referring to Figure 4, we can see that the jaw
lower has a
L'assemblage de la mâchoire inférieure sur le carter se fait de
manière extrêmement simple. La mâchoire inférieure 8 est engagée entre
les deux ailes 3 du carter 2 en prenant soin de faire coïncider le perçage 12
de la mâchoire 8 avec chaque rainure crantée 4.The assembly of the lower jaw on the crankcase
extremely simple way. The
L'axe est ensuite engagé dans le perçage 12 jusqu'à ce que la
tête 14 vienne en appui sur la face extérieure de l'aile.The axis is then engaged in the
Une rondelle 17 est alors engagée sur l'autre extrémité de l'axe
et vient en appui contre l'épaulement 15. Cette extrémité de l'axe est alors
déformée pour former une lèvre 18 qui vient s'appuyer sur une froissure 19
réalisée dans la rondelle 17. A
Comme cela apparaít clairement sur la figure 3, l'axe avec,
d'une part, sa tête et, d'autre part, la rondelle permet :
Par ailleurs, l'ergonomie d'utilisation de la pince étau selon l'invention est bien supérieure à celle des pinces étau de l'art antérieur puisque la manipulation de la mâchoire inférieure se fait en saisissant la tête et la rondelle qui présentent des surfaces planes non blessantes.Moreover, the ergonomics of use of the vice clamp according to the invention is much superior to that of the vise clamps of the prior art since the manipulation of the lower jaw is done by grasping the head and the puck that have flat, non-offensive surfaces.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus, mais elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les formes de réalisation. Ainsi, la rondelle peut être remplacée par un écrou qui viendrait se visser sur une extrémité filetée de l'axe d'articulation. Ainsi, les mâchoires pourraient prendre des formes différentes en fonction de l'utilisation souhaitée de la pince étau.Of course, the invention is not limited to the form of described above, but on the contrary embraces all the embodiments. Thus, the washer can be replaced by a nut which would screw on a threaded end of the hinge pin. So the jaws could take different shapes depending the desired use of the vice clamp.
