Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manual sheet metal drilling tool, particularly suitable for drilling sheets for roofing roofs.
- sheet metal is used on structural elements of the building.
- These sheets are of various shapes: flat or corrugated for example.
- these sheets In order to make them weather-resistant and / or compatible with aesthetic color requirements, these sheets most often include a coating such as a galvanized coating or a color lacquer.
- the installation of the screws requires the prior completion of holes in the sheet.
- the holes must be of sufficient diameter to allow the threaded body of the screw to pass, and the diameter must be small enough for the head of the screw to bear against the sheet.
- drilling tools such as a drill requires the prior completion of a pointing with a needle to prevent that during drilling the drill skids and deteriorates the sheet.
- the problem of making the holes in the sheets with a chisel or drill is more particularly sensitive in the case of corrugated sheets, for which the holes must be made at the top of the waves to prevent water stagnates in the vicinity of the holes and screw heads.
- a first problem proposed by the invention is to design a manual sheet drilling tool that is itself feasible at low cost, which can be handled simply and effortlessly, and that allows to drill one or more sheets simultaneously without risk of skidding or deterioration of the coating of the sheet or sheets.
- the invention seeks to eliminate any risk of accidental scratching of the sheet metal or drilling in an undesired place.
- the invention aims to enable the reliable and safe realization of a hole at the top of the wave of a corrugated sheet, and whatever the waveform of the corrugated sheet.
- the invention also seeks to reduce the hardness of the work of the roofer responsible for making holes in a cover sheet, and improve its safety at work.
- the invention aims to design a manual sheet metal drilling tool for drilling a hole at the top of a wave of corrugated sheet metal in areas that are difficult to access or have limited accessibility, such as roof window edges, chimney edges, or roof edges along a wall.
- the invention provides a manual sheet metal drilling tool according to claim 1.
- the distal end of the guide tube is applied against the sheet around the area to be pierced, the longitudinal rod is lifted and lowered abruptly so that the piercing tip enters the sheet. .
- the guide tube ensures the positioning of the bore, and the longitudinal rod is both the perforating element and the striking means that gives the perforating element energy required for drilling.
- Such a tool therefore requires no power supply for its use, has a small footprint, and is simple to handle to achieve accurately and reliably drilling one or more sheets simultaneously without damaging their coating around the hole.
- the support and centering means shaped to bear against the sheet metal to be drilled and able to oppose any lateral displacement of the distal end of the guide tube relative to the sheet to be drilled, eliminate any risk that the distal end of the guide tube comes to skid on the sheet during the stroke of the longitudinal rod. It avoids scratching the coating of the sheet, and especially it avoids drilling the sheet in a bad place.
- V-shaped support and centering means are efficient, very simple to produce, inexpensive and compact. These make it possible to perform precise and safe drilling at the top of a wave of corrugated iron, whatever the shape of the wave, ensuring perfect versatility of the tool. Indeed, during use, place the dihedral entering with its central edge aligned on the top of the wave, the dihedron overlapping the wave.
- the V-shaped section may extend in the transverse direction in at least one direction away from the guide tube and in at least a length of about 15 centimeters.
- the V-shaped profile may comprise, in its reentrant dihedron, a thickness of an elastically compressible material intended to come into contact with the sheet to be drilled. This makes it possible to hold on waves of various shapes, and it further reduces the risk of slippage of the distal end of the guide tube on the sheet.
- Such a tool makes it possible to make holes of determined diameter just sufficient to ensure the passage of the threaded body of the screw and to allow the head of the screw to abut against the sheet at the periphery of the hole.
- stop adjustment means may be provided for adjusting the axial position of the lower position of the longitudinal rod in the guide tube.
- the guide tube may extend in a length of about 70 to 110 centimeters, preferably about 90 centimeters.
- the tool thus has an axial length sufficient to allow the roofer to work standing without having to bend down and get up with each hole drilling.
- the piercing tip 3 In the upper position of the longitudinal rod 2 ( figure 1 ), the piercing tip 3 is contained in the guide tube 1 between the distal end 1b and proximal ends 1a of the guide tube 1. In the lower position of the longitudinal rod 2 ( figure 2 ), the piercing tip 3 protrudes beyond the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1.
- the user When using such a tool, as illustrated on the figure 4 , the user holds the guide tube 1 near its proximal end 1a while the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1 bears against the sheet 11 to be pierced.
- the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1 is precisely positioned at the location where a hole is to be made.
- the user holding the longitudinal rod 2 by the handle 4 in the up position ( figures 1 and 4 ), forcefully moves the longitudinal rod 2 towards its lower position ( figure 2 ).
- the piercing tip 3 then protrudes beyond the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1 to pierce the sheet 11. Until the moment when the piercing tip 3 comes into contact with the sheet 11 , the longitudinal rod 2 is accurately and reliably guided by the longitudinal guide tube 1: there is no risk for the user to drill the sheet 11 by mistake in an undesired place.
- the drilling of the sheet 11 is done "cold" without rotary drilling tool such as a drill in contact with the sheet, and therefore without creating a ZAT (Zone Affected Thermally) likely to promote corrosion of the sheet 11.
- the tool is simple to handle and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the guide tube 1 comprises, in the vicinity of its distal end 1b, support and centering means 5 shaped to bear against the plate 11 to drill and able to oppose any lateral displacement of the end distal 1b of the guide tube 1 relative to the sheet 11 to be drilled. In this way, it eliminates any risk of scratching the coating of the sheet 11 to be pierced and any risk of accidental drilling in an undesired place.
- the support and centering means 5 consist of a V-shaped section 6 fixed in transverse orientation along a transverse axis II-II ( figures 1 and 3 ) at the distal end 1b of the tube guidance 1.
- the V-shaped profile 6 defines a dihedral recess opposite to the guide tube 1 and whose bisecting plane P contains the longitudinal axis II of the guide tube 1.
- Such support and centering means 5 make it possible to drill the sheet 11 simply and reliably at the top of a wave 12 when the sheet 11 is corrugated, irrespective of the shape of the wave 12 Such use will be described later by means of figures 4 and 5 .
- the V-shaped section 6 extends in the transverse direction (transverse axis II-II) in a direction away from the guide tube 1 by a length I of about 15 centimeters.
- the V-shaped profile 6 comprises, in its reentrant dihedron, a thickness e of a material 7 elastically compressible.
- the piercing tip 3 has a conical shape. Stop means 8 are provided ( figure 2 ) to prohibit the sliding of the longitudinal rod 2 in the guide tube 1 beyond its low position.
- the abutment means 8 comprise the handle 4 of the longitudinal rod 2 and the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1. Said handle 4 bears directly or indirectly against the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1 when the longitudinal rod 2 is in the low position ( figure 2 ).
- the abutment means 8 are thus made in a simple manner, and make it possible to reliably immobilize the longitudinal rod 2 in the low position in order to repetitively produce bores of the same chosen diameter.
- the diameter produced is the diameter of the cross section of the conical piercing tip 3 which is engaged in the plate 11 in the low position.
- the handle 4 comprises a thrust flange 9 directly or indirectly abutting against the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1, said thrust flange 9 having transverse dimensions greater than those of the handle 4.
- the guide tube 1 comprises meanwhile a proximal end 1a of diameter D substantially equal to the cross section of the handle 4.
- the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1 thus has a sufficient area to distribute the thrust forces of the handle 4.
- the thrust flange 9 of the handle 4 also contributes to this distribution of thrust forces and protects the hand the user located on the handle 4 against any risk of pinching.
- Another protective flange may be provided at the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1 to protect the other hand of the user.
- the diameter D of the proximal end 1a is chosen to allow the user to easily and comfortably grip the guide tube 1, which guide tube 1 has over most of its length L a diameter d smaller than the diameter D so as not to excessively burden the tool.
- stop adjustment means 10 ( figure 1 ) adapted to adjust the axial position of the lower position of the longitudinal rod 2 in the guide tube 1.
- the stop adjustment means 10 comprise one or more spacers 10a and 10b, which can be of different heights h1 and h2.
- the struts 10a and 10b are able to be inserted selectively, alone or in stack, in overlap around the longitudinal rod 2 between the handle 4 and the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1.
- the struts 10a and 10b are, for example, example, in the form of washers respectively drilled at their center with a hole 100a and 100b whose diameter D1 is slightly greater than the diameter d1 of the longitudinal rod 2 and is smaller than the diameter D.
- the sheet 11 is corrugated with waves 12 having a generally trapezoidal shape.
- the piercing tool is arranged in the position illustrated on the figure 4 , with the V-shaped section 6 overlapping the wave 12 to be pierced.
- the V-shaped section 6 carries indirectly against the sheet 11: the elastically compressible material 7 comes into contact with the plate 11 to be drilled to avoid any risk of damage to its coating by metal-to-metal contact.
- the user holds the guide tube 1 in position at its distal end 1b. It can advantageously press with its foot on the upper edge of the V-shaped section 6. There is thus no risk that the V-shaped section 6 and the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1 move in a direction or a other when drilling the sheet 11.
- the user holds the proximal end 1a of the guide tube 1 with one hand while his second hand holds the longitudinal rod 2 by the handle 4 in the up position.
- the user positions and maintains accurately on the wave 12 the distal end 1b of the guide tube 1.
- the user coincides the longitudinal axis II with the middle of a beam 13 into which will enter the fastening screw of the plate 11.
- the piercing tip 3 of the longitudinal rod 2 pierces the plate 11 ( figure 5 ).
- the piercing tip 3 slightly penetrates into the beam 13, as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 , to facilitate centering and penetration of the fixing screw of the sheet 11 at the beginning of its screwing.
- the user removes the drilling tool to set up a fixing screw of the plate 11.
- the support and centering means 5 of the Figures 1 to 5 suitable for most of the usual waveforms, but may take a form not limited to that shown in Figures 1 to 5 and which can be adapted case by case to the shape of the wave 12 of the sheet 11 to be pierced.
- the movable assembly comprising the handle 4 and the longitudinal rod 2 may have a mass of about three kilograms. With such a mass, the user has to apply a weak force to move the longitudinal rod 2 from its upper position to its lower position to communicate to the mobile assembly sufficient energy to pierce the sheet 11.
- the longitudinal rod 2 may advantageously be made of metal, for example steel.
- the piercing tip 3 can receive a hardening treatment.
- the piercing tip 3 may be an element of hard material attached to the end of the longitudinal rod.
- the guide tube 1 can also be made of metal, for example from a steel tube.
- the transverse axis II-II along which the V-shaped section 6 extends is arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis II in which the longitudinal rod 2 slides, which allows the user to drill the sheet 11 perpendicularly to its surface. : Here again there is the risk that the piercing tip 3 skids laterally on the plate 11.
- the guide tube 1 extends along a length L of about 70 to 110 centimeters, preferably about 90 centimeters. Such length L allows the user to work standing on the roof slope without having to perform successive bending and extensions between each hole to perform. The drudgery of the work of the user is thus greatly reduced, which also contributes to the safety of the user who travels when working on roof slopes that may have a steep slope.
- the handle 4 and the piercing tip 3 are attached by screwing to each respective end of the longitudinal rod 2 and have cross sections of dimensions greater than the through hole 14a of a gripping sleeve 14 immovably fixed. on the proximal end of the guide tube 1.
- the sliding of the longitudinal rod 2 - drill point 3 - handle 4 is limited between the two extreme positions, namely the drilling position ( figure 6 ) in which the handle 4 abuts against the grip sleeve 14, and an extension position in which the piercing tip 3 abuts against the grip sleeve 14.
- the piercing tip 3 is thus held captive in the guide tube 1.
- the longitudinal rod 2 and the guide tube 1 can not be separated by a simple relative sliding movement. . There is thus no risk that the piercing tip 3 is left bare and injures a user.
- the longitudinal rod 2 is pulled out of the guide tube 1 until a transverse hole 3a of the piercing tip 3 is in correspondence with a transverse hole 1c provided in the guide tube 1
- a locking pin (such as a screwdriver) is then engaged simultaneously in the holes 3a and 1c to block any rotational movement between the piercing tip 3 and the guide tube 1.
- a maneuvering rod (such as a other screwdriver) is then engaged in a hole 2c provided in the longitudinal rod 2 (the hole 2c is then located outside the guide tube 1) to rotate in longitudinal axis II the longitudinal rod 2 relative to the piercing tip 3.
- the friction is reduced because limited firstly to the contact between one or two annular zones 3b and 3c of the piercing tip 3 and the guide tube 1, and secondly to the contact between the hole 14a and the longitudinal rod 2.
- the sheet metal drilling tool is devoid of elastic return means (such as a spring) reminding the longitudinal rod 2 in the high position. This avoids the user having to apply an additional force to overcome the resilient biasing means. This saves the user unnecessary efforts and may unbalance the roof slope where he works.
- elastic return means such as a spring
Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un outil manuel de perçage de tôles, particulièrement adapté pour le perçage de tôles destinées à la couverture de toits.The present invention relates to a manual sheet metal drilling tool, particularly suitable for drilling sheets for roofing roofs.
Pour effectuer la couverture d'un toit de bâtiment, on a de plus en plus recours à des tôles de grande surface fixées sur des éléments de charpente du bâtiment. Ces tôles sont de formes diverses : planes ou ondulées par exemple.To cover a roof of a building, more and more sheet metal is used on structural elements of the building. These sheets are of various shapes: flat or corrugated for example.
Afin de les rendre résistantes aux intempéries et/ou compatibles avec des exigences esthétiques de couleurs, ces tôles comportent le plus souvent un revêtement tel qu'un revêtement galvanisé ou encore une laque de couleur.In order to make them weather-resistant and / or compatible with aesthetic color requirements, these sheets most often include a coating such as a galvanized coating or a color lacquer.
La fixation de ces tôles s'effectue à l'aide de grandes vis traversant la tôle pour venir en prise dans un élément de charpente en bois situé en dessous de la tôle. Pour assurer l'étanchéité de la couverture du toit, une rondelle en matière plastique est disposée entre la tête de vis et la tôle.These sheets are fixed by means of large screws passing through the sheet to engage in a wooden frame element located below the sheet. To seal the roof covering, a plastic washer is placed between the screw head and the sheet.
La mise en place des vis nécessite la réalisation préalable de trous dans la tôle. Les trous doivent avoir un diamètre suffisant pour laisser passer le corps fileté de la vis, et le diamètre doit être suffisamment petit pour que la tête de la vis vienne porter contre la tôle.The installation of the screws requires the prior completion of holes in the sheet. The holes must be of sufficient diameter to allow the threaded body of the screw to pass, and the diameter must be small enough for the head of the screw to bear against the sheet.
Pour ce faire, on a recours à des perceuses électriques munies d'un foret de diamètre donné. L'inconvénient des perceuses, et plus généralement des outils à foret rotatif, est la création d'une ZAT (Zone Affectée Thermiquement) au voisinage du trou. La création d'une ZAT détériore le revêtement de la tôle et nuit ainsi à l'étanchéité de la couverture du toit en favorisant sa corrosion.To do this, we use electric drills equipped with a drill diameter. The disadvantage of drills, and more generally rotary drill tools, is the creation of a ZAT (heat-affected zone) in the vicinity of the hole. The creation of a ZAT deteriorates the coating of the sheet and thus impairs the sealing of the roof covering by promoting its corrosion.
En outre, lors de l'utilisation d'outils de perçage avec des forets tels qu'une perceuse, il se crée un copeau de métal à haute température. Lors de son évacuation, ce copeau vient au contact du revêtement de la tôle et le brûle localement, créant là encore des ZAT qui seront autant de zones prédisposées à la corrosion.In addition, when using drilling tools with drills such as a drill, it creates a metal chip at high temperature. During its evacuation, this chip comes into contact with the coating of the sheet and burns locally, creating again ZAT which will be as many areas predisposed to corrosion.
De plus, l'amenée de l'énergie (électrique, pneumatique, ...) nécessaire au fonctionnement d'une perceuse est généralement compliquée sur un toit et rend dangereuse l'intervention du couvreur par la présence de fils ou câbles électriques au contact d'éléments métalliques coupants tels que les tôles.In addition, the supply of energy (electric, pneumatic, ...) necessary for the operation of a drill is generally complicated on a roof and makes dangerous the intervention of the roofer by the presence of son or electrical cables in contact sharp metal elements such as sheets.
Enfin, l'usage d'outils de perçage tels qu'une perceuse nécessite la réalisation préalable d'un pointage à l'aide d'un pointeau pour éviter que lors du perçage le foret dérape et détériore la tôle.Finally, the use of drilling tools such as a drill requires the prior completion of a pointing with a needle to prevent that during drilling the drill skids and deteriorates the sheet.
On augmente ainsi le nombre d'opérations nécessaires, et donc le temps nécessaire à la pose des tôles pour la couverture d'un toit.This increases the number of operations required, and therefore the time required to install the sheets for roofing a roof.
Pour éviter d'avoir recours à un outil de perçage tel qu'une perceuse, on peut utiliser un burin affûté en pointe sur lequel le couvreur assène des coups à l'aide d'une masse.To avoid using a drilling tool such as a drill, you can use a pointed sharpened chisel on which the roofer hits with a mass.
L'usage du burin et de la masse requiert cependant une certaine dextérité de la part du couvreur, qui travaille sur un pan incliné.The use of the chisel and the mass however requires a certain dexterity on the part of the roofer, who works on an inclined part.
Lorsque le couvreur assène un coup avec sa masse sur le burin, il y a un fort risque que la pointe du burin dérape et vienne endommager le revêtement de la tôle à un endroit autre que celui où est prévue une vis. Et le burin peut même parfois traverser la tôle de part en part à un endroit non souhaité, ce qui oblige au remplacement complet de la tôle accidentellement endommagée.When the roofer hits a blow with its mass on the chisel, there is a strong risk that the tip of the chisel skids and damages the coating of the sheet at a place other than where a screw is provided. And the chisel can even sometimes cross the sheet from side to side at an undesired location, forcing the complete replacement of the accidentally damaged sheet.
Enfin, le perçage à l'aide d'un burin peut être très difficile, voire impossible, à des endroits où des portions de tôles (jusqu'au nombre de quatre) se chevauchent pour assurer la couverture étanche du toit.Finally, drilling with a chisel can be very difficult, if not impossible, in places where portions of sheets (up to the number of four) overlap to provide the roof's waterproof coverage.
Le problème de réaliser les trous dans les tôles avec un burin ou une perceuse est plus particulièrement sensible dans le cas de tôles ondulées, pour lesquelles les trous doivent être réalisés au sommet des ondes pour éviter que de l'eau stagne au voisinage des trous et des têtes de vis.The problem of making the holes in the sheets with a chisel or drill is more particularly sensitive in the case of corrugated sheets, for which the holes must be made at the top of the waves to prevent water stagnates in the vicinity of the holes and screw heads.
Le document
Un premier problème proposé par l'invention est de concevoir un outil manuel de perçage de tôles qui soit lui-même réalisable à faible coût, qui puisse être manipulé de façon simple et sans efforts, et qui permette de percer une ou plusieurs tôles simultanément sans risque de dérapage ou de détérioration du revêtement de la ou des tôles.A first problem proposed by the invention is to design a manual sheet drilling tool that is itself feasible at low cost, which can be handled simply and effortlessly, and that allows to drill one or more sheets simultaneously without risk of skidding or deterioration of the coating of the sheet or sheets.
Simultanément, l'invention cherche à éliminer tout risque de rayure accidentelle de la tôle ou de perçage en un endroit non désiré.Simultaneously, the invention seeks to eliminate any risk of accidental scratching of the sheet metal or drilling in an undesired place.
Selon un autre aspect, l'invention vise à permettre la réalisation fiable et sûre d'un trou au sommet de l'onde d'une tôle ondulée, et ce quelle que soit la forme d'onde de la tôle ondulée.According to another aspect, the invention aims to enable the reliable and safe realization of a hole at the top of the wave of a corrugated sheet, and whatever the waveform of the corrugated sheet.
L'invention cherche en outre à réduire la pénibilité du travail du couvreur chargé d'effectuer des trous dans une tôle de couverture, et à améliorer sa sécurité au travail.The invention also seeks to reduce the hardness of the work of the roofer responsible for making holes in a cover sheet, and improve its safety at work.
Enfin, l'invention vise à concevoir un outil manuel de perçage de tôles permettant de percer un trou au sommet d'une onde de tôle ondulée dans des endroits difficiles d'accès ou d'accessibilité limitée tels que les bords de fenêtres de toit, les bords de cheminée ou encore les bords de toit longeant un mur.Finally, the invention aims to design a manual sheet metal drilling tool for drilling a hole at the top of a wave of corrugated sheet metal in areas that are difficult to access or have limited accessibility, such as roof window edges, chimney edges, or roof edges along a wall.
Pour atteindre ces objets, ainsi que d'autres, l'invention propose un outil manuel de perçage de tôles conforme à la revendication 1.To achieve these objects, as well as others, the invention provides a manual sheet metal drilling tool according to
Pour percer un trou avec un tel outil, on applique l'extrémité distale du tube de guidage contre la tôle autour de la zone à percer, on soulève la tige longitudinale et on l'abaisse brusquement pour que la pointe de perçage pénètre dans la tôle. Ainsi, le tube de guidage assure le positionnement du perçage, et la tige longitudinale constitue à la fois l'élément perforant et le moyen de frappe qui donne à l'élément perforant l'énergie nécessaire au perçage.To drill a hole with such a tool, the distal end of the guide tube is applied against the sheet around the area to be pierced, the longitudinal rod is lifted and lowered abruptly so that the piercing tip enters the sheet. . Thus, the guide tube ensures the positioning of the bore, and the longitudinal rod is both the perforating element and the striking means that gives the perforating element energy required for drilling.
Un tel outil ne nécessite donc aucune alimentation électrique pour son utilisation, présente un faible encombrement, et est simple à manipuler pour réaliser de façon précise et fiable le perçage d'une ou plusieurs tôles simultanément sans détériorer leur revêtement aux alentours du trou.Such a tool therefore requires no power supply for its use, has a small footprint, and is simple to handle to achieve accurately and reliably drilling one or more sheets simultaneously without damaging their coating around the hole.
Les moyens d'appui et de centrage, conformés pour porter en appui contre la tôle à percer et aptes à s'opposer à tout déplacement latéral de l'extrémité distale du tube de guidage par rapport à la tôle à percer, éliminent tout risque que l'extrémité distale du tube de guidage vienne déraper sur la tôle lors de la course de la tige longitudinale. On évite de rayer le revêtement de la tôle, et surtout on évite de percer la tôle à un mauvais endroit.The support and centering means, shaped to bear against the sheet metal to be drilled and able to oppose any lateral displacement of the distal end of the guide tube relative to the sheet to be drilled, eliminate any risk that the distal end of the guide tube comes to skid on the sheet during the stroke of the longitudinal rod. It avoids scratching the coating of the sheet, and especially it avoids drilling the sheet in a bad place.
Les moyens d'appui et de centrage à profilé en V sont efficaces, très simples à réaliser, peu onéreux et peu encombrants. Ceux-ci permettent d'effectuer un perçage précis et sûr au sommet d'une onde d'une tôle ondulée, et ce quelle que soit la forme de l'onde, assurant une parfaite polyvalence de l'outil. En effet, lors de l'utilisation, on place le dièdre rentrant avec son arête centrale alignée sur le sommet de l'onde, le dièdre chevauchant l'onde.The V-shaped support and centering means are efficient, very simple to produce, inexpensive and compact. These make it possible to perform precise and safe drilling at the top of a wave of corrugated iron, whatever the shape of the wave, ensuring perfect versatility of the tool. Indeed, during use, place the dihedral entering with its central edge aligned on the top of the wave, the dihedron overlapping the wave.
Et l'usage d'un simple profilé en V permet au couvreur d'accéder à des endroits délicats et difficiles d'accès tels que des bords de fenêtres de toit, des bords de cheminée, ou encore des angles entre un toit et un mur où il est important de bien fixer la tôle pour des raisons critiques d'étanchéité.And the use of a simple V-shaped profile allows the roofer access to delicate and difficult to access places such as roof windows, chimney edges, or angles between a roof and a wall where it is important to secure the sheet for critical sealing reasons.
Avantageusement, le profilé en V peut s'étendre selon la direction transversale dans au moins un sens à l'écart du tube de guidage et selon au moins une longueur de 15 centimètres environ.Advantageously, the V-shaped section may extend in the transverse direction in at least one direction away from the guide tube and in at least a length of about 15 centimeters.
De préférence, le profilé en V peut comporter, dans son dièdre rentrant, une épaisseur d'un matériau élastiquement compressible destiné à venir au contact de la tôle à percer. On favorise ainsi la tenue sur des ondes de formes diverses, et on réduit encore les risques de glissement de l'extrémité distale du tube de guidage sur la tôle.Preferably, the V-shaped profile may comprise, in its reentrant dihedron, a thickness of an elastically compressible material intended to come into contact with the sheet to be drilled. This makes it possible to hold on waves of various shapes, and it further reduces the risk of slippage of the distal end of the guide tube on the sheet.
Avantageusement, on peut prévoir que :
- la pointe de perçage a une forme conique,
- des moyens de butée interdisent le coulissement de la tige longitudinale dans le tube de guidage au-delà de sa position basse.
- the piercing tip has a conical shape,
- stop means prohibit the sliding of the longitudinal rod in the guide tube beyond its lower position.
Un tel outil permet de réaliser des trous de diamètre déterminé juste suffisant pour assurer le passage du corps fileté de la vis et pour permettre à la tête de la vis de venir en butée contre la tôle en périphérie du trou.Such a tool makes it possible to make holes of determined diameter just sufficient to ensure the passage of the threaded body of the screw and to allow the head of the screw to abut against the sheet at the periphery of the hole.
De préférence, on peut prévoir des moyens de réglage de butée pour régler la position axiale de la position basse de la tige longitudinale dans le tube de guidage.Preferably, stop adjustment means may be provided for adjusting the axial position of the lower position of the longitudinal rod in the guide tube.
Il est ainsi possible, avec un seul et même outil, de réaliser des trous de différents diamètres.It is thus possible, with one and the same tool, to make holes of different diameters.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le tube de guidage peut s'étendre selon une longueur d'environ 70 à 110 centimètres, avantageusement de 90 centimètres environ. L'outil présente ainsi une longueur axiale suffisante pour permettre au couvreur de travailler debout sans avoir à se baisser et se relever à chaque perçage de trou.According to one embodiment, the guide tube may extend in a length of about 70 to 110 centimeters, preferably about 90 centimeters. The tool thus has an axial length sufficient to allow the roofer to work standing without having to bend down and get up with each hole drilling.

Lors de l'utilisation d'un tel outil, comme illustré sur la
Le perçage de la tôle 11 s'effectue « à froid » sans outil rotatif de perçage tel qu'un foret en contact avec la tôle, et donc sans créer de ZAT (Zone Affectée Thermiquement) susceptible de favoriser la corrosion de la tôle 11. L'outil est simple à manipuler et peu onéreux à fabriquer.The drilling of the

De tels moyens d'appui et de centrage 5 permettent de réaliser le perçage de la tôle 11 de façon simple et fiable au sommet d'une onde 12 lorsque la tôle 11 est ondulée, et ce quelle que soit la forme de l'onde 12. Une telle utilisation sera décrite ultérieurement au moyen des

Il est plus particulièrement illustré sur la
Les moyens de butée 8 comprennent la poignée 4 de la tige longitudinale 2 et l'extrémité proximale 1a du tube de guidage 1. Ladite poignée 4 vient porter directement ou indirectement contre l'extrémité proximale 1 a du tube de guidage 1 lorsque la tige longitudinale 2 est en position basse (
Les moyens de butée 8 sont ainsi réalisés de façon simple, et permettent d'immobiliser de façon fiable la tige longitudinale 2 en position basse pour réaliser de façon répétitive des perçages d'un même diamètre choisi. Le diamètre réalisé est le diamètre de la section transversale de la pointe de perçage 3 conique qui se trouve engagée dans la tôle 11 en position basse.The abutment means 8 are thus made in a simple manner, and make it possible to reliably immobilize the
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les
L'extrémité proximale 1a du tube de guidage 1 comporte ainsi une surface suffisante pour répartir les efforts de butée de la poignée 4. Le flasque de butée 9 de la poignée 4 participe également à cette répartition des efforts de butée et permet de protéger la main de l'utilisateur située sur la poignée 4 contre tout risque de pincement. Un autre flasque de protection peut être prévu à l'extrémité proximale 1a du tube de guidage 1 pour protéger l'autre main de l'utilisateur.The
Enfin, le diamètre D de l'extrémité proximale 1a est choisi pour permettre à l'utilisateur une préhension aisée et confortable du tube de guidage 1, lequel tube de guidage 1 comporte sur la majeure partie de sa longueur L un diamètre d inférieur au diamètre D afin de ne pas alourdir excessivement l'outil.Finally, the diameter D of the
Pour permettre la fixation de tôles avec des vis de diamètres différents, il est avantageux de pouvoir réaliser des trous de diamètres différents. On peut prévoir pour cela des moyens de réglage de butée 10 (
On considère à nouveau les
Comme on le voit plus particulièrement sur la
Selon une première étape, l'outil de perçage est disposé dans la position illustrée sur la
L'utilisateur maintient le tube de guidage 1 en position au niveau de son extrémité distale 1b. Il peut avantageusement appuyer avec son pied sur l'arête supérieure du profilé en V 6. Il n'y a ainsi aucun risque que le profilé en V 6 et l'extrémité distale 1b du tube de guidage 1 se déplacent dans une direction ou une autre lors du perçage de la tôle 11.The user holds the
L'utilisateur tient l'extrémité proximale 1 a du tube de guidage 1 avec une première main tandis que sa seconde main tient la tige longitudinale 2 par la poignée 4 en position haute.The user holds the
L'utilisateur positionne et maintient de façon précise sur l'onde 12 l'extrémité distale 1b du tube de guidage 1. Dans le cas de la
L'utilisateur fait ensuite coulisser énergiquement, voire lance, la tige longitudinale 2 dans le tube de guidage 1 jusqu'à sa position basse tout en maintenant en position le tube de guidage 1 et le profilé en V 6 à l'aide de son pied et de sa première main.The user then slips vigorously or even throws the
En position basse, la pointe de perçage 3 de la tige longitudinale 2 perce la tôle 11 (
Une fois la tôle 11 percée, l'utilisateur retire l'outil de perçage pour mettre en place une vis de fixation de la tôle 11.Once the
Les moyens d'appui et de centrage 5 des
Pour faciliter le perçage de la tôle 11 et de plusieurs tôles superposées, l'ensemble mobile comprenant la poignée 4 et la tige longitudinale 2 peut avoir une masse de trois kilogrammes environ. Avec une telle masse, l'utilisateur n'a plus à appliquer qu'une faible force pour déplacer la tige longitudinale 2 de sa position haute vers sa position basse pour communiquer à l'ensemble mobile une énergie suffisante pour percer la tôle 11.To facilitate the drilling of the
La tige longitudinale 2 peut avantageusement être réalisée en métal, par exemple en acier. La pointe de perçage 3 peut recevoir un traitement de durcissement. En alternative, la pointe de perçage 3 peut être un élément en matériau dur rapporté en bout de tige longitudinale. Le tube de guidage 1 peut aussi être réalisé en métal, par exemple à partir d'un tube en acier.The
L'axe transversal II-II selon lequel s'étend le profilé en V 6 est disposé perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal I-I selon lequel coulisse la tige longitudinale 2, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de percer la tôle 11 perpendiculairement à sa surface : on limite là encore le risque que la pointe de perçage 3 dérape latéralement sur la tôle 11.The transverse axis II-II along which the V-shaped
Le tube de guidage 1 s'étend selon une longueur L d'environ 70 à 110 centimètres, avantageusement de 90 centimètres environ. Une telle longueur L permet à l'utilisateur de travailler debout sur la pente de toit sans avoir à effectuer de flexions et extensions successives entre chaque trou à effectuer. La pénibilité du travail de l'utilisateur est ainsi grandement réduite, ce qui contribue également à la sécurité de l'utilisateur qui se déplace lors de son travail sur des pentes de toit pouvant présenter une forte inclinaison.The
Sur les
A cet effet, la poignée 4 et la pointe de perçage 3 sont rapportées par vissage à chaque extrémité respective de la tige longitudinale 2 et présentent des sections transversales de dimensions supérieures au trou de passage 14a d'un manchon de préhension 14 fixé de façon inamovible sur l'extrémité proximale du tube de guidage 1. Le coulissement de l'ensemble tige longitudinale 2 - pointe de perçage 3 - poignée 4 est limité entre les deux positions extrêmes, à savoir la position de perçage (
La pointe de perçage 3 est ainsi maintenue captive dans le tube de guidage 1. En cas de chute inopinée de l'outil depuis un toit, la tige longitudinale 2 et le tube de guidage 1 ne peuvent pas se séparer par simple mouvement de coulissement relatif. Il n'y a ainsi pas de risques que la pointe de perçage 3 se retrouve à nu et blesse un usager.The piercing
Pour démonter l'outil, on sort la tige longitudinale 2 hors du tube de guidage 1 jusqu'à ce qu'un trou 3a transversal de la pointe de perçage 3 soit en correspondance avec un trou 1 c transversal prévu dans le tube de guidage 1. Une tige de blocage (telle qu'un tournevis) est alors engagée simultanément dans les trous 3a et 1 c pour bloquer tout mouvement rotatif entre la pointe de perçage 3 et le tube de guidage 1. Une tige de manoeuvre (telle qu'un autre tournevis) est alors engagée dans un trou 2c prévu dans la tige longitudinale 2 (le trou 2c étant alors situé hors du tube de guidage 1) pour entraîner en rotation d'axe longitudinal I-I la tige longitudinale 2 par rapport à la pointe de perçage 3.To disassemble the tool, the
On peut ainsi séparer la tige longitudinale 2 et la pointe de perçage 3 pour démonter l'outil ou changer la pointe de perçage 3.It is thus possible to separate the
Dans ce mode de réalisation, les frottements sont réduits car limités d'une part au contact entre une ou deux zones annulaires 3b et 3c de la pointe de perçage 3 et le tube de guidage 1, et d'autre part au contact entre le trou de passage 14a et la tige longitudinale 2.In this embodiment, the friction is reduced because limited firstly to the contact between one or two
Dans tous les modes de réalisation illustrés sur les
