Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to tilting articulated assemblies and in particular electrical appliances comprising a pivoting control key.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an articulated tilt assembly of two parts of this kind to prevent that once the parts snapped, the continuation of the detent movement leads to a separation of the mutual mounting elements, all being particularly simple and convenient to manufacture and use.
  • the invention proposes an articulated tilt assembly comprising a first part having a bore whose periphery is provided with a first curved surface, and a second part comprising a finger adapted to cooperate in the manner of a pivot with said bore and having a second curved surface facing said first curved surface, said second part further comprising a positioning chamfer for snap engagement of said finger, characterized in that said second piece comprises a rib projecting from said second curved surface and comprising said chamfer while said first piece has a groove adapted to accommodate said rib, said groove being wider than said rib and being formed as an extension of said bore of said on the other side of said first curved surface, this surface comprising two first surface sections disposed apart from each other on either side of said groove.
  • the rib When approaching the second part of the first part, it is the rib that enters the first part in contact with the first part and the chamfer facilitates snapping.
  • the depressing movement continues until the finger is fully positioned in the bore.
  • the perimeter of the bore and in particular its curved surface thus forms a limit stop in the movement of depression of the finger preventing it from sinking deeper and disengaging.
  • the groove is used to house the rib which is no longer useful after facilitating snapping.
  • the groove is sized as desired as long as it remains narrower than the distance between one end of the first curved surface and the other of its ends.
  • the set 1 illustrated on the figure 1 comprises a first piece 2 and a second piece 3.
  • the first piece 2 is here a switch body while the second piece 3 is a pivoting key.
  • the body 2 is generally parallelepipedal and comprises a bottom wall and a side wall having four panels 5. Each angle located at the junction between two panels 5 is here cut down.
  • the body 2 has a generally rectangular opening 7.
  • the body 2 has a flange 8 protruding around the periphery of the opening 7.
  • the flange 8 is located in a plane transverse to each of the panels 5.
  • the two opposing panels 5 and larger extend on the other side of the flange 8 by a portion of disc 10. These two portions 10 are very flattened.
  • the side panel area 5 in which the bore 12 is located has a thickness greater than the overall thickness of the panel 5. This thickness corresponds to that of the flange 8.
  • the bore 12 has a quarter disc section.
  • the periphery of the bore 12 has a point 13 directed upwards, that is to say on the opposite side to the bottom wall.
  • the periphery of the bore 12 has two lateral surfaces 14 arranged transversely relative to each other with their intersection which forms the top of the quarter disc.
  • the periphery also has a first curved surface 15 in a cylindrical surface portion, formed by two sections 19 of curved surface apart from each other.
  • the surface 15 is curved so that the bore 12 is concave.
  • a rectangular groove 17 which extends from the bore 12 on the opposite side to the tip 13.
  • the width of the groove 17 here corresponds globally to half the radius of the bore 12 quarter disc. This radius corresponds to the length of the surfaces 14.
  • the width of the groove 17 is about two times smaller than the distance separating the surface ends 15 at the junction with a surface 14.
  • the groove 17 has a bottom surface 16, opposite the point 13.
  • Each portion 10 has above the bore 12, between the tip 13 and its free edge a slope 18 so that the thickness of the portion 10 is greater on the side of the tip 13 than the free edge.
  • the body 2 accommodates a switch mechanism (not shown).
  • the key 3 comprises a rectangular main panel 20 having on each of its longitudinal flanks a parallelepipedal projection 21. These projections 21 each have on their own side a finger 22 for snapping the key 3 on the body 2.
  • the two fingers 22 are the same. Only one finger 22 is described.
  • the finger 22 is a cylinder sector. It has a determined thickness corresponding generally to the thickness of the periphery of the bore 12.
  • the finger 22 has a flat surface 24 in a quarter disc, two flat lateral surfaces 25 disposed in a dihedral forming a tip extending along an edge 26. Faced with the edge 26, the finger 22 has a second curved surface 27 according to a portion of cylindrical surface.
  • the angle formed by the surfaces 25 is slightly smaller than the angle formed by the surfaces 14.
  • the key 3 also comprises a rib 28 which takes root on the curved surface 27 transversely to this surface 27, opposite the edge 26.
  • This rib 28 has a very limited width in comparison with the radius of the angular sector of the finger 22 which corresponds to the length of the surfaces 25.
  • the rib 28 has a thickness which is the same as the thickness of the finger 22.
  • the rib 28 comprises a chamfer creating a snap slope 29 so that the rib 28 tapers towards its free end which is disposed opposite the edge 25.
  • the finger 22 is located in the bore 12 and the rib 28 is located in the groove 17.
  • the edge 25 is located against the tip 13.
  • the key 3 is continued until the difference is sufficient and corresponds to the difference between the ribs 28 at the root with the fingers 22. At this stage, the deformation of the portion 10 is maximum.
  • the end of stroke occurs when the surface 27 of the periphery of the finger 22 comes into contact with at least a portion of the surface 15 of the bore 12.
  • the edge 26 remains in contact with the tip 13.
  • the rib 28 and in particular its free end remains slightly away from the surface 16 of the groove 17.
  • One of the surfaces 25 is in contact with the corresponding surface 14 of the periphery of the bore 12.
  • the key 3 is pressed on the side of this surface 25.
  • the key 3 then pivots around the edge 26 until that the second surface 25 comes into contact with the corresponding surface 14 of the periphery of the bore 12.
  • the rib 28 makes a stroke inside the groove 17 without coming into contact with the surface 16 of the groove 17.
  • the pivot limit stops are here by the contact of the surfaces 25 and corresponding surfaces 14.
  • the finger 122 of the second piece 103 has two generally triangular cutouts on its flanks corresponding to the surfaces 25 of the assembly of the first embodiment.
  • the finger 122 is thus reduced to a rod 150 at the free end of which is the edge 126 and at the other end of this rod 150 take root two curved arms 151 which have on their surface opposite the edge 126 the cylindrical surface 127.
  • the arms 151 are bent towards the edge 126.
  • On the other side of the rod 150 relative to the arms 151 extends the rib 128 provided with its slope chamfer 129.
  • the bore 112 of the first piece 102 has a periphery slightly modified relative to the periphery of the bore 12 in that it has two projections 155 on either side of the tip 113. These advances 155 are triangular so they delimit in the bore 112 three housings each adapted to receive one of the three elements: the two arms 151 and the rod 150.
  • the groove 117 flares towards its end opposite to the tip 113.
  • the snap and pivoting of the assembly 1 for this second embodiment is the same as the latching and pivoting of the assembly 1 of the first embodiment.
  • the end of the pivoting stroke is made by contact of the free ends of the arms 151 against the periphery of the bore 112.
  • the walls of the key carrying the fingers are also deformed.
  • the fingers are carried by the body and the bores are on the key.
