Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of brushes may be adapted to a motor vehicle to ensure the cleaning or treatment of important surfaces.
  • the invention relates more particularly to brooms that could be called "static" insofar as their hairs are not animated by any clean movement, other than that resulting from their contact with the surface to be scanned during the movement of the vehicle.
  • These brushes have a low cost of acquisition and operation and have the advantage of raising little dust.
  • a patent US 5,621,940 has proposed a self-propelled broom comprising an elongate body which is equipped with means for adaptation to the vehicle and which comprises, at a lower face, a series of longitudinal rows of brush bristles extending in a substantially direction. normal to the underside.
  • the rows of bristles are rectilinear and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the elongated base structure and are intended to be placed substantially transversely to the direction of the direction of movement of the vehicle or slightly crosswise with respect to the latter by an inclination of the basic structure.
  • the broom described by this document comprises a series of ten parallel rectilinear rows of bristles, each row being formed by a band whose head is formed of an extruded material trapping the fixed end of the bristles. This head is then intended to engage in a groove C or T carried by the body of the brush.
  • This embodiment of the rows of bristles allows easy replacement of the rows of bristles independently of each other.
  • Such a broom is generally satisfactory and can actually scan relatively large surfaces by eliminating a maximum of dirt covering them.
  • the sweeping performed is not satisfactory, in particular because of the rather rapid appearance of remains of smaller sweeps as well as lines of accumulation of dust or waste on the edges of the sweeping area such as windrows.
  • the invention relates to a blade for a self-propelled vehicle comprising an elongate body which is equipped with means of adaptation to the vehicle and which comprises, at a lower face, a first series of longitudinal rows. brush bristles extending in a direction substantially normal to the underside, the rows of the first series being rectilinear and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the elongate body.
  • the blade comprises a second series of longitudinal rows of brush bristles extending in a direction substantially normal to the lower face, the rows of the second series being parallel to each other and each having a view from the bottom face. body, a curved or V shape.
  • the concavity of the longitudinal rows of the second series is oriented opposite to the first series of rows.
  • the blade allows to reduce the appearance of deposition lines or accumulations of detritus or dust along the path of travel get out.
  • the accumulation lines on each side of the lateral ends of the broom, resulting from the implementation of the broom according to the invention are of much less importance or appear after a displacement distance much higher than in the case of use of a brush comprising only straight rows of bristles.
  • each row of the second series is symmetrical with respect to a median transverse plane, said sagittal plane.
  • the blade comprises at least one and, preferably, several auxiliary rows of brush bristles extending in a direction substantially normal to the lower face, each auxiliary row being rectilinear and located in the concavity of the first row of the second series.
  • auxiliary row of bristles makes it possible to further increase the quality of the sweeping and in particular, in the context of the implementation of V-shaped rows or rafters for the second series, to delay the appearance of a line of accumulation of material at the level of the trajectory of the tip of the rafters of each row, or to avoid an excessive accumulation of waste.
  • each auxiliary row is symmetrical with respect to the sagittal plane.
  • the bristles constituting the row of the first series have a diameter greater than that of the brush bristles constituting the row, said distal, of the first series namely the row farthest from the second series.
  • the constituent bristles of each row of the first series may have decreasing diameters from the proximal row to the distal row.
  • the hairs of the rows of the second series are wholly or partly thicker than those of the first series.
  • the hairs of the second series can repel detritus or objects of significant size and / or heavy while the hairs of the first series, rectilinear, allow to push the sweeps finer.
  • the bristles of the first series may for example have a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bristles of the second series.
  • the brush bristles constituting at least one row have a free end a little frayed.
  • the implementation of bristles at the frayed end, a few millimeters, provides a good smoothness of scanning, while maintaining the qualities of rigidity of the non-frayed part of the hair.
  • the first series and the second series each comprise at least three rows for a good scan.
  • each row of bristles is removable and mounted in a C-groove of the elongate body.
  • the adaptation means on the vehicle are designed so that the second series of bristles is oriented towards the front.
  • the adaptation means on the vehicle can also be designed to be reversible so that the second set of bristles can be oriented forward or backward.
  • a broom according to the invention as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 and designated as a whole by the reference B, is intended to be adapted to a motor vehicle such as a forklift V.
  • the brush B comprises an elongated body 1 which is equipped with means 2 for adaptation to the vehicle V.
  • the means 2 can be made in any appropriate manner depending on the nature of the vehicle V.
  • the means 2 are designed to allow the assembly of the brush B on the forks 3 of the carriage V and comprise two sleeves 4 and 5 disposed at the upper face of the body 1.
  • Each sleeve 4, 5 has a pin 6 to be placed at the heel of the corresponding fork to block the movement of the blade B relative to the forks 3.
  • any other type of means of adaptation could be used.
  • the blade B comprises at the lower face of the body 1 rows 10 whose brush hairs extend in a direction substantially normal to the underside of the body 1.
  • the rows of bristles are divided into two series S 1 and S 2 of rows of different conformation.
  • a first series S 1 comprises rectilinear longitudinal rows 10 2 which extend substantially over the entire length of the body, being parallel to each other and to a longitudinal axis L of the body 1.
  • the first series S 1 comprises four rows 10 2 of bristles, it being understood that it could include less, two rows for example, or on the contrary more.
  • the second series S 2 comprises longitudinal rows 2 which also extend substantially over the entire length of the body 1 but have, when viewed from the underside of the body 1, a curved or V shape.
  • the rows 10 2 of the second series S 2 all have a V-shaped or chevron shape and are parallel to each other.
  • the three rows 2 constituting the second series S 2 are arranged so that their concavity is oriented in a direction opposite to the first series of rows S 1 or that their point is directed towards the first series S 1 .
  • the rows 2 2 of the second series are all arranged so as to be generally symmetrical with respect to a median transverse plane, said sagittal plane, S which passes through the tip of each row 10 2 of the second series.
  • the blade B further comprises at least one and, according to the example, two auxiliary rows of brush bristles extending in a direction substantially normal to the underside.
  • Each row 15 has a rectilinear shape, parallel to the longitudinal axis L, having a length substantially less than the length of the body 1.
  • the rows 15 are arranged in the concavity of the first row of the second series S 2 and is substantially centered with respect to the latter and the sagittal plane S and being parallel to each other.
  • the rows 15 prevent an accumulation of waste or sweeps in the tip of the V formed by the rows of the second series S 2 .
  • These rows 15 also absorb the thrust of the swept materials accumulating as and when in the concavity thus avoiding the hair of the second series S 2 too curved backwards and thus let part of the sweeps.
  • each row or row of hairs is constituted by a segment a band of bristles whose one end is held by a longitudinal head made of plastic or the like intended to be engaged in a groove C.
  • Such an embodiment of the rows or rows allows a replacement of rows or rows of bristles, independently each other.
  • Such an embodiment of the rows of bristles is described in particular in the context of the patent US 5,661,940 and therefore does not require further description.
  • the brush B according to the invention and thus constituted, is implemented in the following manner.
  • the blade is adapted to the forks 3 of the motor vehicle V so that the second series of bristles S 2 is oriented forwards in the normal direction of travel of the vehicle V.
  • the adaptation means 2 will be then designed for this purpose.
  • a driver of the vehicle V adjusts the height of the forks 3 so as to apply the bristles against the surface to be brushed or cleaned. It should be noted that insofar as all the hairs have substantially the same height, they all rest on the surface to be cleaned if the latter is flat. This height can be chosen to be of the order of 10 to 35 cm for example and preferably of the order of 30 cm for an autonomy (wear) of several hundred kilometers on a paved surface.
  • the driver of the vehicle V can also adjust the forks 3 so as to exert a slight pressure on the bristles to arch them very slightly so they can adapt well to the slight irregularities of the surface to be swept.
  • the broom makes it possible to obtain a sweeping quality that is very much greater than that obtained with a brush according to the prior art comprising only rectilinear rows of bristles.
  • the auxiliary rows of bristles 15 also prevent the appearance of a line of accumulation of dust or dirt in the alignment of the tip of the rafters constituting the second series S 2 .
  • the bristles of the last row or distal row d of the first series S 1 namely the row farthest from the second series S 2
  • have a smaller diameter. to that of the hairs of the first row or proximal row p of the first series S 1 , namely the row p closest to the second series S 2 .
  • the distal row d then allows a better scan of the fines, the hairs being more numerous.
  • bristles the free end is frayed.
  • the implementation of such bristles then makes it possible to maintain the rigidity qualities of each hair over a great length while their frayed free end makes it possible to perform a better scanning of the fines.
  • the first series of bristles S 1 has four rows 10 1
  • the second series S 2 has three rows 10 2
  • the sweep B further comprises two auxiliary rows 15.
  • the figure 4 illustrates another embodiment according to which the first series S 1 comprises eight rows, while the second series S 2 comprises three rows, the whole being completed by three auxiliary rows 15.
  • the three rows have an increasing length according to their distance from the second series S 2 .
  • the rows 2 2 of the second series S 2 do not necessarily have a herringbone shape.
  • the figure 5 illustrates another embodiment in which the rows of the second series S 2 have an arched shape, without breaking. It may, for example, be adopted as an elliptical curve portion. It will further be noted that according to this example, the broom B does not include auxiliary rank although it could have.
