Prior art
La fixation de pièces, feuilles, tissus ou objets sur un plan de travail est traditionnellement réalisée à l'aide de moyens de fixation intégrés au plan de travail. Le plan de travail doit être aménagé pour les recevoir (ouverture, saillie, rainures permettant de f^xer le moyen de fixation au plan de travail) .The attachment of parts, sheets, fabrics or objects on a worktop is traditionally performed using fasteners integrated in the work plan. The work plan must be arranged to receive them (opening, projection, grooves for fixing the fastening means to the worktop).
Les points de fixation sont donc intégrés dans le plan de travail. Leur position est prédéfinie et fixe sauf à mettre en place des dispositifs complexes de rail ou de systèmes coulissants permettant de fixer une pièce n' importe où sur le plan de travail. Ces dispositifs sont alors complexes à mettre en œuvre, en particulier sur des plans de travail de grande dimension. L'utilisation de dispositif de fixation à base d'aimants permanents est peu répandue. Il est limité à des aimants de faible intensité (par exemple sur des tableauxThe attachment points are therefore integrated in the work plan. Their position is predefined and fixed except to implement complex rail devices or sliding systems to fix a room anywhere on the worktop. These devices are then complex to implement, especially on large work plans. The use of permanent magnet fasteners is not widespread. It is limited to low intensity magnets (eg on boards
« magnétiques ») du fait de la difficulté à décoller ou à positionner correctement un aimant d'intensité plus importante sur un plan de travail- Les aimants permanents puissants entraînent de plus des contraintes lors de leur transport à cause de la permanence du champ magnétique et de la force d'attraction en découlant. Exposé de l'invention"Magnetic") because of the difficulty to take off or correctly position a magnet of greater intensity on a work surface- The strong permanent magnets also cause constraints during their transport because of the permanence of the magnetic field and of the attraction force resulting from it. Presentation of the invention
La présente invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Elle permet de positionner des points de fixation n'importe où sur un plan de travail ou un objet en matériau magnétique, sans imposer de position prédéfinie. Elle s'adapte à tout plan de travail, quelle que soit sa dimension et sa configuration. Elle permet un positionnement précis du point de fixation sur le plan de travail.The present invention overcomes these disadvantages. It allows positioning points anywhere on a worktop or object made of magnetic material, without imposing a predefined position. It adapts to any worktop, whatever its size and configuration. It allows precise positioning of the attachment point on the work surface.
Elle permet de s'affranchir des difficultés associées aux aimants permanents en cpnstituant un ensemble facilement décollable, manipulable et transportable tout en autorisant des forces d'attraction importantes.It makes it possible to overcome the difficulties associated with permanent magnets by constituting an easily removable, manipulable and transportable assembly while allowing significant attraction forces.
Elle constitue de plus un dispositif polyvalent pouvant se transformer en une pince serrante en mettant face à face deux éléments identiques ou non, les deux mors de la pince n'étant solidarisés par aucun dispositif mécanique, leur centrage et leur pivotement étant réalisés par une répartition ingénieuse des masses magnétiques.It also constitutes a versatile device that can be transformed into a gripping clamp by putting face to face two identical elements or not, the two jaws of the clamp not being secured by any mechanical device, their centering and pivoting being achieved by a distribution ingenious magnetic masses.

Meilleure manière de réaliser l'inventionBest way to realize the invention
Dans son mode de réalisation le plus simple, représenté figure 1 de profil et figure 3 en vue de dessous, le dispositif de l'invention, que nous appelons une demi-pince aimantée, est constitué d'une surface aimantée (1), d'un bras de levier (2)et d'une ligne de pivotement (3) située entre la surface aimantée et le bras de levier.In its simplest embodiment, shown in FIG. 1 in profile and FIG. 3 in a view from below, the device of the invention, which we call a magnetized half-clamp, consists of a magnetized surface (1), a a lever arm (2) and a pivot line (3) located between the magnetized surface and the lever arm.
La surface aimantée de la demi-pince aimantée est destinée à être mise en contact total ou partiel avec un plan de travail ou un objet partiellement ou totalement magnétique (4) . La force d'attraction magnétique s'exerce principalement entre la surface aimantée {1) et le plan de travail ou l'objet (4) .The magnetic surface of the magnetic half-gripper is intended to be brought into full or partial contact with a work plane or a partially or totally magnetic object (4). The magnetic attraction force is exerted mainly between the magnetized surface {1) and the work plane or the object (4).
Elle crée un couple de serrage autour de la ligne de pivotement (3) .It creates a tightening torque around the pivot line (3).
Le plan de travail est une surface qui n'est pas nécessairement plane.The worktop is a surface that is not necessarily flat.
La demi-pince aimantée permet l'immobilisation de la pièce (5) sur le plan de travail ou l'objet (4), la pièce étant coincée entre la demi-pince aimantée et le plan de travail ou l'objet (figure 4) sous l'effet de la force magnétique. Le bras de levier (2) permet le décollement aisé de la pince de la surface par pivotement autour de la ligne de pivotement (3) de la pince (figure 2) .The magnetic half-clamp allows the immobilization of the workpiece (5) on the worktop or the object (4), the workpiece being wedged between the magnetized half-clamp and the worktop or the object (Figure 4 ) under the effect of the magnetic force. The lever arm (2) allows easy detachment of the clamp from the surface by pivoting about the pivot line (3) of the clamp (Figure 2).
La ligne de pivotement (3) eët, à tout instant, l'axe de rotation du dispositif passant par le ou les points de contact entre la surface aimantée et le plan de travail.The pivot line (3) eët, at any time, the axis of rotation of the device passing through the contact point or points between the magnetized surface and the work plane.
La surface aimantée (1) comporte une ligne que nous appellerons ligne dé séparation des pôles (6), cette ligne étant approximativement la médiatrice par rapport à la surface aimantée du barycentre des pôles sud et des pôles nord de magnétisation de la surface. On. trouve une aussi grande « force » de pôle sud d'un côté de la ligne de séparation des pôles que l'on trouvera une « force » de pôleThe magnetized surface (1) comprises a line that we will call the pole separation line (6), this line being approximately the perpendicular to the magnetized surface of the barycentre of the south poles and the north poles of magnetization of the surface. We. find as great "force" of south pole on one side of the line of separation of the poles that one will find a "force" of pole
Nord de l'autre côté de la ligne, les deux baryœntres des pôles Nord et sud étant de même poids sur la surface aimantéeNorth on the other side of the line, the two baryœntres of the North and South poles being of the same weight on the magnetic surface
U).U).
La forme du bras de levier (2) est choisie de manière à permettre à l'utilisateur d'exercer une force sensiblement orthogonale à la surface aimantée ou un couple par rapport à la ligne de pivotement (3) de la demi-pince aimantée.The shape of the lever arm (2) is chosen to allow the user to exert a force substantially orthogonal to the magnetized surface or a torque relative to the pivot line (3) of the magnetized half-gripper.
Cette disposition évite le glissement de la demi-pince aimantée sur le plan de travail lorsqu'un opérateur exerce une action sur le bras dé levier. La forme peut être adaptée en fonction du coefficient de frottement entre le plan de travail et la demi-pince aimantée.This arrangement avoids the sliding of the magnetized half-clamp on the worktop when an operator exerts an action on the lever arm. The shape can be adapted according to the coefficient of friction between the work plane and the magnetic half-clamp.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, l'angle formé par le bras de levier et la surface aimantée dont le sommet est la ligne de pivotement (9) peut avoir une valeur supérieure à 145°. Cette configuration particulière est représentée sur la figure 2.According to a particular embodiment, the angle formed by the lever arm and the magnetized surface whose vertex is the pivot line (9) may have a value greater than 145 °. This particular configuration is shown in FIG.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation (figure 3) , la ligne de séparation des pôles (6) peut être perpendiculaire ou proche de la perpendicularité à la ligne de pivotement (3), qui peut elle-même être alignée ou approximativement alignée avec le bras de levier maximum (14), c'est à dire le segment du bras de levier orthogonal à l'axe de pivotement passant par le point de la demi-pince aimantée à la plus grande distance de l'axe de pivotement. Cette configuration permet de disposer d'une force d'attraction continue entre la surface aimantée et le plan de travail à mesure que l'angle d'ouverture (7) entre la demi- pince aimantée et le plan de travail augmente. Elle évite de plus que la demi-pince aimantée ne glisse sur le plan de travail lors de son ouverture, la ligne de pivotement restant au contact du plan dé travail.According to a particular embodiment (FIG. 3), the line of separation of the poles (6) may be perpendicular or close to perpendicularity to the pivot line (3), which may itself be aligned or approximately aligned with the maximum lever arm (14), ie the segment of the lever arm orthogonal to the pivot axis passing through the point of the magnetized half-clamp at the furthest distance from the pivot axis . This configuration makes it possible to have a continuous attraction force between the magnetized surface and the work surface as the opening angle (7) between the magnetized half-pliers and the working plane increases. It further avoids that the magnetic half-gripper slips on the work plane when it opens, the pivot line remaining in contact with the working plane.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, la ligne de pivotement (3) peut être une ligne droite. Cette configuration permet de positionner la demi-pince magnétique sur le plan de travail, puis de l'ouvrir ensuite pour glisser un objet entre la demi-pince magnétique et le plan de travail qui vient se caler contre la ligne de pivotement (3) . Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation adoptés :According to a particular embodiment, the pivot line (3) can be a straight line. This configuration makes it possible to position the magnetic half-gripper on the work plane, then to open it then to slide an object between the magnetic half-gripper and the work plane which is wedged against the pivot line (3). According to the particular modes of realization adopted:
- la ligne de pivotement (3) peut être matérialisée par une arrête de la demi-pince magnétique, en particulier si cette ligne de pivotement est utilisée pour positionner des objets coincés sous la demi-pince magnétique- The pivot line (3) can be materialized by a stop of the magnetic half-clamp, especially if this pivot line is used to position objects stuck under the magnetic half-clamp
- la ligne de pivotement peut présenter une section > courbe, cette section courbe pouvant comporter des dispositifs, roulettes, billes, ou autres sur son bord extérieur, facilitant le déplacement de la demi-pince une fois celle-ci ouverte sur le plan de travail- The pivot line may have a section > curve, this curved section may include devices, wheels, balls, or other on its outer edge, facilitating the movement of the half-gripper once it open on the work plan
- la ligne de pivotement peut présenter une gorge (12) permettant de caler la demi-pince aimantée sur le plan de travail ou l'objet ou de caler deux demi-pinces aimantées entre elles en introduisant un axe (13) dans la gorge (figures 20 à 25, vue de pirofil) Selon un mode particulier de réalisation (figures 14, 16, 18 et 19, vue de dessous de la surface aimantée du dispositif), la ligne de séparation des pôles (6) peut constituer approximativement un axe de symétrie de la géométrie de la surface aimantée (1) , les champs magnétiques traversant deux éléments de surface symétriques par rapport à la ligne de séparation des pôles étant opposés avec en conséquence une forme de répartition antisymétrique des pôles Nord et sud de part et d'autre de la ligne de séparation des pôles.- The pivot line may have a groove (12) for wedging the magnetic half-clamp on the work plane or the object or wedge two magnetized half-clamps together by introducing an axis (13) in the groove ( Figures 20 to 25, view of pirofil) According to a particular embodiment (FIGS. 14, 16, 18 and 19, seen from below of the magnetic surface of the device), the line of separation of the poles (6) can constitute approximately an axis of symmetry of the geometry of the magnetized surface. (1), the magnetic fields passing through two symmetrical surface elements with respect to the pole separation line being opposed with consequently an antisymmetric distribution shape of the north and south poles on both sides of the pole separation line. .
Cette disposition permet alors également de constituer une pince aimantée en rassemblant deux demi-pinces aimantées identiques ou non (figure 9) . La symétrie du dispositif permet dans cette configuration un. centrage automatique des deux demi~pinces l'une par rapport à l'autre, les ^Lignes de séparation des pôles des deux demi-pinces étant approximativement confondues lorsque la pince est fermée. La ligne de pivotement est alors l'axe d'ouverture de la pince.This arrangement then also makes it possible to constitute a magnetized clamp by assembling two identical or different magnetized half-clips (FIG. 9). The symmetry of the device allows in this configuration a. automatic centering of the two half ~ pi nces relative to each other, the ^ Pole separation lines of the two half-pliers being approximately merged when the clamp is closed. The pivot line is then the opening axis of the clamp.
Les correspondances entre pôles Sud et £ôles Nord lorsque deux demi-pinces sont assemblées selon ce mode particulier sont présentées pour deux configurations particulières sur les figures 15 et 17 en vue de dessous. Les figures IS et 19 présentent deux autres exemples de répartitions des pôles possibles également en vue de dessous. Cette disposition facilite également le transport des demi-pinces aimantées, les demi-pinces étant transportées par paire, collées l'une contre l'autre.The correspondences between South and North poles when two half-clips are assembled according to this particular mode are presented for two particular configurations in Figures 15 and 17 in view from below. Figures IS and 19 show two other examples of possible pole distributions also seen from below. This arrangement also facilitates the transport of magnetic half-clips, the half-clips being transported in pairs, glued against each other.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation {figures 5, 6, 7 et 8) , la demi-pince aimantée peut comporter une griffe élastique (8) permettant de fixer des pièces épaisses en conservant une forcé de serrage élevée. L'élasticité de la griffe élastique (8) est adaptée à la force d'attraction développée par la surface aimantée (1), au bras de levier entre la griffe élastique et la surface aimantée (2) et à la gamme d'épaisseurs pour laquelle le dispositif fonctionne.According to a particular embodiment (FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8), the magnetized half-clamp may comprise an elastic claw (8) making it possible to fix thick pieces while maintaining a high clamping force. The elasticity of the elastic claw (8) is adapted to the force of attraction developed by the magnetized surface (1) at the lever arm between the elastic claw and the magnetized surface (2) and the thickness range for which the device operates.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la fixation d'objets sur un plan de travail, en particulier plan de travail de grande dimension, ou sur un tableau magnétique. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for fixing objects on a work plane, in particular a large worktop, or on a magnetic board.
