Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique du matériel et équipement de manutention d'outils et instruments à main destinés à des travaux dans le bâtiment et la construction suivant la préambule de la revendication 1. Un exemple d'un telle structure de manutention est décrit dans le document US-A-1 674 669 .The invention relates to the technical sector of equipment and handling equipment for tools and hand instruments for work in the building and construction according to the preamble of claim 1. An example of such a handling structure is described in the document US-A-1,674,669 .

Le travail sous plafond pour des travaux de ponçage est souvent malaisé pour l'opérateur qui doit porter à bout de bras la machine à poncer et souvent monter sur des escabeaux ou échelles lui permettant de travailler ponctuellement sur des surfaces limitées. Pour remédier à cette contrainte, le Demandeur a développé des ponceuses à bras connues sous la marque GIRAFE comprenant un bras de grande longueur avec en bout d'extrémité l'outil de ponçage, tandis qu'à l'opposé, le bras reçoit un flexible monté en communication avec un bloc aspirant des poussières et détritus.Ceiling work for sanding work is often difficult for the operator who has to carry the grinding machine at arm's length and often climb ladders or ladders allowing him to work punctually on limited surfaces. To remedy this constraint, the Applicant has developed arm sanders known under the brand GIRAFE comprising a long arm with the end of the sanding tool, while the opposite, the arm receives a flexible mounted in communication with a suction block of dust and debris.

La manipulation des ponceuses à bras sur de longues périodes de temps reste fastidieuse et pénible, et les efforts pour la maintenir à bout de bras sont source de fatigue rapide de par le poids de la ponceuse à bras. En outre, un problème réside dans le fait que l'opérateur n'a pas toujours le recul nécessaire pour visualiser la zone de travail.The handling of arm sanders over long periods of time remains tedious and painful, and efforts to maintain it at arm's length are a source of rapid fatigue due to the weight of the arm sander. In addition, a problem lies in the fact that the operator does not always have the necessary perspective to visualize the work area.

Pour des appareils à poncer simples, il a été proposé dans le modèle d'utilité DE 299 19442 une structure support roulante (1) réglable en hauteur par des éléments d'assemblage (1a) (1b) télescopique, et qui est agencée avec des moyens sous forme de parallélogrammes (2) déformables recevant en extrémité un moyen support (3) de la machine électroportative à poncer (6). La structure décrite dans ce document reste particulièrement complexe à réaliser avec plusieurs mécanismes, un support du parallélogramme déformable, le parallélogramme lui-même incluant des moyens à ressort de contrôle d'extension et des moyens supports de la machine électroportative. La commande elle-même dans l'orientation de la machine à poncer reste complexe et en toute hypothèse, il n'est guère possible pour l'opérateur de manipuler la structure, l'orientation et le positionnement de l'outil de ponçage.For simple sanding machines, it has been proposed in the utility model DE 299 19442 a rolling support structure (1) adjustable in height by telescopic connecting elements (1a) (1b), and which is arranged with means in the form of deformable parallelograms (2) receiving at the end a support means (3) of the portable electric sanding machine (6). The structure described in this document remains particularly complex at using a plurality of mechanisms, a deformable parallelogram support, the parallelogram itself including extension control spring means and support means of the power tool. The control itself in the orientation of the sanding machine remains complex and in any event, it is hardly possible for the operator to manipulate the structure, orientation and positioning of the sanding tool.

Par ailleurs, dans le cadre de la plateforme roulante de la structure décrite dans ce document, celle-ci est conçue et établie pour donner une base horizontale d'appui et de stabilité, avec pour conséquence, une absence d'adaptabilité de la position de la structure selon les conditions d'exercice des travaux à effectuer.Furthermore, as part of the rolling platform of the structure described in this document, it is designed and established to provide a horizontal base of support and stability, with the result that the position of the structure according to the conditions of exercise of the work to be done.

On connaît aussi par le brevet US 1674669 un appareil de manutention d'outils qui comprend une structure télescopique montée sur des roulettes. L'extrémité supérieure de la tige télescopique de la structure reçoit un étrier récepteur d'un bras télescopique dont une extrémité reçoit un autre étrier support d'un outil, et l'autre extrémité un contrepoids d'équilibrage. La manipulation de la structure s'effectue par la partie arrière du bras télescopique afin de maintenir en position active l'outil. Comme précédemment, ce document décrit un appareil qui n'a aucune capacité d'adaptabilité de position par rapport aux conditions d'urgence des travaux à effectuer.We also know by US Patent 1674669 a tool handling apparatus which comprises a telescopic structure mounted on rollers. The upper end of the telescopic rod of the structure receives a receiving stirrup of a telescopic arm of which one end receives another support bracket of a tool, and the other end a balancing counterweight. The manipulation of the structure is effected by the rear part of the telescopic arm in order to keep the tool in active position. As before, this document describes an apparatus that has no ability to adapt position relative to the emergency conditions of the work to be performed.

On connaît aussi par le brevet australien AU 23086/84 une structure de manutention support de ponceuses à colonnes télescopiques monté sur roulettes avec une poignée séparée pour le portage et la préhension de la structure.Also known by the Australian patent AU 23086/84 a support structure for telescopic column sanders mounted on wheels with a separate handle for carrying and gripping the structure.

Par rapport à l'ensemble de l'art antérieur précité, la démarche du Demandeur a donc été de réfléchir à une nouvelle conception d'une structure portante adaptée au support d'une ponceuse à bras, mais donnant toute liberté de manoeuvre à l'opérateur avec une visualisation en recul du champ et zone de travail, avec une capacité d'adaptabilité en position de la structure selon les conditions et contraintes de la zone de travail et des travaux à effectuer.With respect to all of the aforementioned prior art, the Applicant's approach was therefore to think of a new design of a bearing structure adapted to support a sander arm, but giving complete freedom of maneuver to the operator with visualization in the field and work area, with a capacity of adaptability in position of the structure according to the conditions and constraints of the work area and the work to be done.

Un autre objectif du Demandeur a été de concevoir une structure support de coût de fabrication réduit, permettant une facilité de manoeuvre par l'opérateur.Another objective of the Applicant has been to design a support structure of reduced manufacturing cost, allowing ease of maneuver by the operator.

Un autre objectif était de concevoir une structure portante qui donne à l'opération une large autonomie de manipulation et de transport en intégrant le support de différents moyens complémentaires participant à cette autonomie d'utilisation.Another objective was to design a load-bearing structure which gives the operation a large autonomy of handling and transport by integrating the support of different complementary means participating in this autonomy of use.

La solution apportée par le Demandeur est simple et répond à l'ensemble de ces objectifs.The solution provided by the Applicant is simple and meets all of these objectives.

Selon une première caractéristique, la structure de manutention support de ponceuses à bras, est telle que décrite dans la revendication 1.According to a first feature, the support structure of the hand-held sanders is as described in claim 1.

Des charactéristiques additionnelles de l'invention font l'objet des sous-revendications 2 à 5.Additional features of the invention are the subject of the subclaims 2 to 5.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other characteristics will be apparent from the rest of the description.

For fixing the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner to the figures of the drawings where:
  • the figure 1 is a view of a bearing and rolling structure of a sanding apparatus according to the prior art.
  • the figure 2 is a view of the rolling support structure of a sander with arm according to the invention.
  • the figure 3 is a top view of the support structure according to the figure 2 .
  • the figure 4 is a partial view of the support portion of the arm sander.
  • the figure 5 is an alternative view of the support structure.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

La structure support selon l'invention est référencée par (10) et comprend un trépied défini par deux bras avant (10a-10b) orientée vers le bas en extrémité inférieure et en prolongement de la colonne (10c) réceptrice d'un tube télescopique (11) et un bras derrière profilé (10d), disposé en dessous de la partie supérieure de ladite colonne, les trois bras définissant une triangulation à partir du raccordement du bras arrière (10d) au-dessous de l'extrémité supérieure de la colonne. Les bras sont associés à des moyens de de roulement (10e) avec moyen d'arrêt en position bien connu en soi. Les deux bras avant (10a) (10b) sont disposés en V l'un par rapport à l'autre et inclinés angulairement par rapport à la colonne (10c). Cette disposition particulière permet de rigidifier la structure et d'augmenter sa stabilité, en particulier si elle est basculée pour être en appui sur deux roues dans certaines phases opératoires. Le raccordement du bras arrière (10d) s'effectue sur la colonne sensiblement en dessous de son extrémité supérieure.The support structure according to the invention is referenced by (10) and comprises a tripod defined by two front arms (10a-10b) facing downwards at the lower end and in extension of the column (10c) receiving a telescopic tube ( 11) and a rear profile arm (10d) disposed below the top of said column, the three arms defining a triangulation from the connection of the rear arm (10d) below the upper end of the column. The arms are associated with rolling means (10e) with stopping means in position well known per se. The two front arms (10a) (10b) are arranged in relation to one another and inclined angularly with respect to the column (10c). This particular arrangement makes it possible to stiffen the structure and to increase its stability, in particular if it is tilted to bear on two wheels in certain operating phases. The connection of the rear arm (10d) is effected on the column substantially below its upper end.

La forme du bras (10d) peut être coudée ou être curviligne. Le bras arrière permet aussi la préhension de la structure par l'opérateur.The shape of the arm (10d) can be bent or curvilinear. The rear arm also allows the gripping of the structure by the operator.

En outre, la tige télescopique (11) est agencée de manière classique avec des ouvertures permettant le positionnement d'une clavette (12) de verrouillage. Cette clavette prend avantageusement appui sur la partie d'extrémité de la colonne laissant libre en rotation sur elle-même la tige télescopique. L'extrémité supérieure de celle-ci reçoit un étrier (13) profilé en U dont la base (13a) est solidaire de ladite extrémité par soudage ou autre. Les deux ailes (13b-13c) de l'étrier sont de grande hauteur et reçoivent entre elles un berceau (14) articulé sur des axes (15) disposés sur lesdites ailes (13b-13c). Le berceau (14) est établi par exemple sous forme d'une pièce profilée en U dont les ailes (14a-14b) sont parallèles aux ailes de l'étrier et se montent sur les axes (15) en étant libres en rotation. Des moyens de blocage en position sont rapportés pour assurer la tenue de l'ensemble. La base (14c) du berceau entre les ailes est elle-même agencée avec une forme (14d) profilée susceptible de recevoir en appui le bras ou corps (16a) de la ponceuse à bras (16). La longueur de cette forme (14a) est définie pour assurer une parfaite tenue du corps de la ponceuse à bras. Pour assurer le maintien de celle-ci, un bridage (17) supplémentaire vient s'ajuster sur le corps de la ponceuse à bras et des moyens de liaison (18) assurent la fixation de l'ensemble et la tenue ferme de la ponceuse à bras. La pose de la ponceuse à bras sur l'étrier support s'effectue de manière réglable par l'opérateur selon ses besoins.In addition, the telescopic rod (11) is conventionally arranged with openings for positioning a locking key (12). This key advantageously bears on the end portion of the column leaving free rotation on itself the telescopic rod. The upper end thereof receives a U-shaped stirrup (13) whose base (13a) is secured to said end by welding or otherwise. The two wings (13b-13c) of the stirrup are of great height and receive between them a cradle (14) articulated on axes (15) arranged on said wings (13b-13c). The cradle (14) is established for example in the form of a U-shaped piece whose wings (14a-14b) are parallel to the wings of the yoke and are mounted on the shafts (15) being free to rotate. Locking means in position are reported to ensure the holding of the whole. The base (14c) of the cradle between the wings is itself arranged with a shaped form (14d) capable of receiving in support the arm or body (16a) of the sander (16). The length of this form (14a) is defined to ensure perfect holding of the body of the sander. To ensure the maintenance of the latter, an additional clamping (17) is fitted to the body of the arm sander and connecting means (18) ensure the attachment of the assembly and the firm holding of the sander to arms. The installation of the arm sander on the support bracket is adjustable by the operator according to his needs.

L'intérêt d'une telle structure réside dans le fait que la ponceuse à bras est supportée évitant son poids à soutenir pendant le travail, mais surtout qu'elle est orientable dans tous les sens au gré des besoins de l'opérateur. Celui-ci a un champ visuel plus important par rapport à la zone de travail, ce qui lui permet d'effectuer les opérations de ponçage dans les meilleures conditions.The advantage of such a structure lies in the fact that the sander is supported avoiding its weight to support during work, but especially that it is adjustable in all directions according to the needs of the operator. This has a larger field of view than the working area, allowing it to perform sanding operations in the best conditions.

Comme illustré figure 2, il faut accompagner le déplacement de la structure tout en effectuant les opérations de ponçage.As illustrated figure 2 it is necessary to accompany the displacement of the structure while carrying out the operations of sanding.

En situation de repos, il suffit à l'opérateur de bien positionner la ponceuse girafe à l'équilibre à l'horizontal en étant parfaitement tenue par le berceau support solidarisé de l'étrier précité.In a rest situation, it is sufficient for the operator to correctly position the sander giraffe balance horizontally being perfectly held by the support cradle secured to the aforementioned stirrup.

Un avantage important de la structure selon l'invention et de la forme particulière de son trépied est de pouvoir basculer et être sur deux roues dans le cas de certaines opérations de ponçage en fonction des contraintes de la zone de travail.An important advantage of the structure according to the invention and the particular shape of its tripod is to be able to tilt and be on two wheels in the case of certain sanding operations depending on the constraints of the work area.

La structure support est peu encombrante, et on peut concevoir qu'elle soit repliable si le bras arrière est monté articulé par rapport à la colonne support.The support structure is compact, and it is conceivable that it is collapsible if the rear arm is hingedly mounted relative to the support column.

On a représenté figure 2 la relation de la ponceuse support avec un bloc aspirateur des poussières et autres détritus. Selon la variante de la figure 5, le trépied peut être agencé pour recevoir à sa base un plateau (19) recevant un bloc aspirateur (18) avec groupe moteur générateur permettant l'alimentation électrique de la ponceuse à bras. Dans ce cas, la structure est entièrement autonome et l'opérateur peut effectuer tous les travaux de ponçage, de nettoyage, de récupération des poussières et particules.We have shown figure 2 the relationship of the support sander with a vacuum block of dust and other debris. According to the variant of the figure 5 , the tripod can be arranged to receive at its base a plate (19) receiving a vacuum block (18) with generator engine unit for the power supply of the sander arm. In this case, the structure is fully autonomous and the operator can perform all sanding, cleaning, dust and particle recovery.

On a aussi envisagé d'agencer le bras arrière du trépied pour recevoir un ou des moyens supports (21) de rangement d'accessoires ou autres.It has also been envisaged to arrange the rear arm of the tripod to receive one or more support means (21) for storing accessories or the like.

L'autonomie donnée par cette structure portante, son adaptabilité aux conditions de la zone de travail, sa simplicité de fabrication sa facilité de manipulation et son faible coût de fabrication lui confèrent des avantages très largement supérieurs à l'art antérieur ci-avant rappelé.The autonomy given by this supporting structure, its adaptability to the conditions of the work area, its simplicity of manufacture, its ease of handling and its low manufacturing cost confer on it benefits that are far superior to the prior art mentioned above.

Le rangement d'accessoires peut inclure des outils, mais aussi des gammes de berceaux récepteurs des ponceuses à bras pour tenir compte des différentes formes des corps de ponceuses à bras sur le marché.The storage of accessories may include tools, but also range of cradles receivers of hand sanders to take into account the different forms of body of hand sanders on the market.

Le travail de l'opérateur est aisé, non fatiguant et plus précis, car son champ visuel est augmenté par rapport à la zone de travail et il n'est pas gêné par les composants de la structure. L'enlèvement de la ponceuse à bras est aisée et à fortiori sa mise en place. The work of the operator is easy, non-tiring and more precise, because his field of view is increased relative to the work area and he is not bothered by the components of the structure. The removal of the sander is easy and especially for its implementation.
