Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour faciliter la manipulation d'une charge de supports d'édition dans un système d'édition. Elle concerne également un système d'édition comportant un tel dispositif.The present invention relates to a device for facilitating the handling of a load of editing media in an editing system. It also relates to an editing system comprising such a device.

Le domaine de l'invention est le domaine des systèmes d'édition tels que des systèmes d'impression thermique de support papier, des systèmes d'impression magnétique de supports comportant une étiquette RFID, etc. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement les systèmes d'édition dans lesquels les supports d'impression se présentent sous forme de rouleau ou sous forme de « paravent », c'est-à-dire sous la forme d'une bande continue composée d'une multitude de supports d'édition et conditionnée sous la forme d'un rouleau ou sous forme de paravent.The field of the invention is the field of editing systems such as paper-based thermal printing systems, magnetic media printing systems having an RFID tag, and the like. The invention relates more particularly to editing systems in which the print media are in the form of a roll or in the form of a "screen", that is to say in the form of a continuous strip composed of a multitude of editing media and packaged in the form of a roll or in the form of a screen.

Actuellement, il existe de nombreux systèmes d'éditions. Ces systèmes d'édition réalisent une écriture de données sur des supports d'édition en utilisant une technologie d'écriture thermique, magnétique, optique ou autre. Ces systèmes comportent un châssis dans lequel est disposé un module d'impression composé, d'une part, des moyens d'édition et, d'autre part, des moyens réalisant un positionnement et un maintien d'une charge de supports d'édition, que l'on appellera dans la suite des moyens de maintien.Currently, there are many publishing systems. These editing systems perform writing data on editing media using thermal, magnetic, optical or other writing technology. These systems comprise a chassis in which is disposed a printing module composed, on the one hand, of the editing means and, on the other hand, means realizing a positioning and maintenance of a load of editing media , which will be called in the following means of maintenance.

Lorsqu'une charge de supports d'édition d'un système d'édition est terminée, il faut la remplacer par une nouvelle charge. Le remplacement consiste, d'une part, à positionner la nouvelle charge sur les moyens de maintien et, d'autre part, à présenter ou à engager l'extrémité libre de la bande continue constituée des supports d'impression dans les moyens d'édition, par exemple dans une tête d'impression lorsqu'il s'agit de moyens d'impression thermique.When an edit media load of an editing system is finished, it must be replaced by a new load. The replacement consists, on the one hand, in positioning the new load on the holding means and, on the other hand, in presenting or engaging the free end of the continuous band constituted by the printing media in the means of editing, for example in a print head when it comes to thermal printing means.

La plupart des systèmes d'édition actuels, et notamment les systèmes d'édition présents dans des lieux tels que des gares, des aéroports, ou des sites où l'utilisation des systèmes d'édition est très fréquente, comprennent un tiroir horizontal permettant d'extraire l'ensemble des moyens d'impression et moyens de maintien du châssis du système d'impression, amenant l'ensemble dans une position, dite de maintenance, sans modifier la position et l'orientation des différents moyens les uns par rapport aux autres. Le remplacement d'une charge de support d'édition est réalisé dans cette position de maintenance.Most current publishing systems, including publishing systems in places such as railway stations, airports, or sites where the use of editing systems is very common, include a horizontal drawer for extracting all the printing means and holding means of the frame of the printing system, bringing the assembly into a position, called maintenance, without changing the position and orientation of the various means one to another. The replacement of an editing support load is performed in this maintenance position.

Cependant, un tel tiroir horizontal présente des inconvénients, qui rendent difficile le remplacement d'une charge de supports d'impression ou la maintenance du système d'édition.However, such a horizontal drawer has drawbacks, which make it difficult to replace a load of print media or the maintenance of the editing system.

Un premier inconvénient concerne le positionnement d'une charge de supports d'édition sur les moyens de maintien. En effet, dans les systèmes actuels l'accessibilité aux moyens de maintien d'une charge de supports d'édition est limitée. Même si ceux-ci se situent en dehors du châssis une fois le tiroir extrait du châssis, ils peuvent par exemple se trouver à une hauteur inadaptée au chargement (au dessus des épaules ou en dessous du bassin d'un opérateur), ou à une distance trop importante de l'opérateur, ce qui rend difficile le positionnement de la charge de supports d'édition sur les moyens de maintien. Cet inconvénient devient un obstacle lorsque les charges de supports d'édition sont volumineux et/ou lourds, ce qui est le cas dans la plupart des systèmes d'édition se trouvant dans des lieux tels que des gares, des aéroports, ou des sites où l'utilisation des systèmes d'édition est très fréquente.A first disadvantage relates to the positioning of a load of editing media on the holding means. Indeed, in current systems accessibility to the means for maintaining a load of editing media is limited. Even if they are outside the chassis once the drawer extracted from the frame, they can for example be at a height unsuitable for loading (above the shoulders or below the basin of an operator), or at a too large distance from the operator, which makes it difficult to position the load of editing media on the holding means. This disadvantage becomes an obstacle when the loads of editing media are bulky and / or heavy, which is the case in most publishing systems located in places such as railway stations, airports, or sites where the use of editing systems is very common.

Un autre inconvénient des systèmes actuels concernent l'engagement de l'extrémité libre d'une charge de supports dans les moyens d'édition. En effet, la partie des moyens d'édition dans laquelle se trouve l'entrée des supports d'impressions n'est pas visible dans la position de maintenance, ce qui nécessite un engagement « en aveugle ».Another disadvantage of the present systems concerns the commitment of the free end of a load of media in the editing means. Indeed, the part of the editing means in which the input of the print media is not visible in the maintenance position, which requires a commitment "blind".

Un but de la présente invention est donc de remédier aux inconvénients précités.An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif facilitant le positionnement d'une charge de supports d'édition dans un système d'édition.Another object of the invention is to propose a device facilitating the positioning of a load of editing media in an editing system.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif facilitant l'engagement de l'extrémité libre d'une charge de supports d'édition dans un système d'édition.Another object of the invention is to propose a device facilitating the engagement of the free end of a load of editing media in an editing system.

Enfin, un but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif facilitant le remplacement d'une charge de supports d'édition dans un système d'édition et la maintenance d'un système d'édition.Finally, an object of the invention is to provide a device facilitating the replacement of a load of editing media in an editing system and the maintenance of an editing system.

L'invention propose d'atteindre les buts précités par dispositif pour faciliter la manipulation d'une charge de supports d'édition dans un système d'édition comprenant un châssis, un module d'édition comprenant des moyens d'édition et des moyens de maintien d'au moins une charge de supports d'impression, ledit dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens de translation et des moyens de rotation dudit module d'édition agencés pour déplacer ledit module d'édition entre une position, dite d'édition, et une position, dite de maintenance.The invention proposes to achieve the aforementioned objects per device for facilitating the handling of a load of editing media in an editing system comprising a chassis, an editing module comprising editing means and means for editing. maintaining at least one load of print media, said device being characterized in that it comprises translation means and rotation means of said editing module arranged to move said editing module between a position, called editing, and a position, called maintenance.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de positionner le module d'édition, c'est-à-dire les moyens d'édition et les moyens de maintien de la charge de papier, dans une position de maintenance plus pratique et plus ergonomique pour le remplacement de la charge de papier et pour une éventuelle intervention sur le module d'édition. En effet, grâce à une combinaison d'une rotation et d'une translation du module d'impression ce dernier peut être disposé à une hauteur désirée, par exemple à hauteur d'homme, pour positionner une charge de support d'édition sur les moyens de maintien et dans une orientation désirée plus adaptée pour engager le support d'édition dans les moyens d'édition.The device according to the invention makes it possible to position the editing module, that is to say the editing means and the means for maintaining the paper load, in a more practical and ergonomic maintenance position for the replacing the paper load and for possible intervention on the editing module. Indeed, thanks to a combination of a rotation and a translation of the printing module, the latter can be placed at a desired height, for example at man's height, to position an edition support load on the holding means and in a desired orientation more suitable for engaging the editing medium in the editing means.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc de faciliter et de rendre plus ergonomique la manipulation d'un système d'édition lors des opérations de remplacement d'une charge de supports d'édition et des opérations de maintenance.The device according to the invention therefore makes it easier and more ergonomic to manipulate an editing system during the operations of replacing a load of editing media and maintenance operations.

Avantageusement, les moyens de rotation peuvent être disposés entre les moyens de translation et le module d'édition. Ainsi, les mouvements de translation et de rotation du module d'édition peuvent être réalisés l'un après l'autre ou en même temps.Advantageously, the rotation means can be arranged between the translation means and the editing module. Thus, translation and rotation movements of the editing module can be performed one after the other or at the same time.

Les moyens de translation peuvent être disposés sur le châssis du système d'édition, plus particulièrement de part et d'autre du module d'édition sur le châssis du système d'édition. Les moyens de translation peuvent être disposés de manière démontable facilitant ainsi leur réparation ou leur remplacement si nécessaire.The translation means may be arranged on the frame of the editing system, more particularly on both sides of the editing module on the frame of the editing system. The translation means can be arranged in a removable manner thus facilitating their repair or replacement if necessary.

Dans un exemple de réalisation particulier, les moyens de translation peuvent comprendre au moins une glissière, prévue pour être fixée sur le châssis du système d'édition, relié au module d'édition, ladite au moins une glissière autorisant la translation dudit module d'édition selon un axe de translation. L'axe de translation peut être sensiblement horizontal. Dans tous les cas, la longueur de la glissière est suffisante pour sortir le module d'édition du châssis du système d'édition et le positionner à une hauteur d'homme et permettre une rotation du module d'édition lorsque le mouvement de rotation du module d'édition est réalisé après le mouvement de translation de ce module.In a particular embodiment, the translation means may comprise at least one slide, intended to be fixed on the frame of the editing system, connected to the editing module, said at least one slide allowing the translation of said module editing along a translation axis. The translation axis can be substantially horizontal. In any case, the length of the slideway is sufficient to release the editing module of the editing system frame and position it at a man's height and allow the editing module to rotate when the rotation movement of the editor editing module is realized after the translational movement of this module.

Par hauteur d'homme on désigne une hauteur comprise entre 0,9m et 1,5m.By height of man means a height between 0.9m and 1.5m.

Dans un exemple de réalisation particulier, les moyens de rotation peuvent comprendre au moins un moyen de liaison en pivot, éventuellement mobile en translation, reliant le module d'édition et les moyens de translation, et autorisant la rotation du module d'édition autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire à l'axe de translation. Les moyens de liaison en pivot sont adaptés pour autoriser une rotation du module d'édition suffisante pour présenter face à un opérateur l'ouverture d'entrée du support d'édition dans les moyens d'édition.In a particular embodiment, the rotation means may comprise at least one pivot connection means, possibly mobile in translation, connecting the editing module and the translation means, and allowing the editing module to rotate around the an axis of rotation perpendicular to the axis of translation. The pivot connection means are adapted to allow a rotation of the editing module sufficient to present to an operator the entrance opening of the editing medium in the editing means.

L'axe de rotation du module d'édition peut être chacun des deux axes de perpendiculaires à l'axe de translation et composant avec l'axe de translation un repère tridimensionnel.The axis of rotation of the editing module may be each of two axes perpendicular to the translation axis and composing with the translation axis a three-dimensional reference.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif selon l'invention et lorsque les moyens d'édition et les moyens de maintien sont reliés entre eux fixement, les moyens de translation peuvent comprendre :

  • un premier jeu de glissières liées aux moyens d'édition et autorisant une translation dudit module d'édition selon un premier axe, et
  • un deuxième jeu de glissières liées aux moyens de maintien et autorisant une translation du module d'édition selon un deuxième axe non parallèle et coplanaire audit premier axe ;
Toujours dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, les moyens de rotation peuvent comprendre :
  • un premier jeu de liaisons pivot reliant lesdits moyens d'édition et chacune des glissières de ladite première paire de glissières et autorisant la rotation du module d'édition autour d'un troisième axe, perpendiculaire audits premier et deuxième axes, et mobile en translation le long dudit premier axe, et
  • un deuxième jeu de liaisons pivot reliant lesdits moyens de maintien et chacune des glissières de ladite deuxième paire de glissières et autorisant la rotation du module d'édition autour d'un quatrième axe, perpendiculaire audits premier et deuxième axes et mobile en translation le long dudit deuxième axe ;
la distance entre le troisième et le quatrième axes restant constante lors de la translation dudit module d'édition.In a particular embodiment of the device according to the invention and when the editing means and the holding means are connected to each other fixedly, the translation means may comprise:
  • a first set of slides related to the editing means and allowing a translation of said editing module along a first axis, and
  • a second set of slides connected to the holding means and allowing translation of the editing module along a second non-parallel axis and coplanar with said first axis;
Still in this particular embodiment, the rotation means may comprise:
  • a first set of pivot links connecting said editing means and each of the slides of said first pair of slides and allowing the editing module to rotate about a third axis, perpendicular to said first and second axes, and movable in translation on along said first axis, and
  • a second set of pivot links connecting said holding means and each of the slides of said second pair of slides and allowing the editing module to rotate about a fourth axis perpendicular to said first and second axes and movable in translation along said second axis;
the distance between the third and fourth axes remaining constant during the translation of said editing module.

Ainsi, le module d'édition est déplacé en translation selon deux axes de translation non parallèles et coplanaires. Les moyens d'édition et les moyens de maintien étant reliés entre eux fixement, la translation selon les deux axes de translation provoque en réalité un mouvement de translation du module d'édition combiné à un mouvement de rotation de ce module.Thus, the editing module is moved in translation along two non-parallel and coplanar translation axes. The editing means and the holding means being interconnected, the translation along the two axes of translation actually causes a translational movement of the editing module combined with a rotational movement of the module.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, les mouvements de translation et de rotation ont lieux simultanément. Plus particulièrement, le mouvement de translation du module d'édition provoque un mouvement de rotation de l'ensemble du module. Ainsi, en exerçant une simple traction ou une simple poussée pour réaliser le mouvement de translation l'opérateur provoque et réalise en même temps le mouvement de translation et le mouvement de rotation du module d'édition.In this embodiment, the translation and rotation movements take place simultaneously. More particularly, the translational movement of the editing module causes a rotational movement of the entire module. Thus, by exerting a simple traction or a simple push to achieve the translational movement the operator causes and at the same time performs the translational movement and the rotational movement of the editing module.

Un tel mode de réalisation permet de faciliter la manipulation du module d'édition pour l'amener dans la position de maintenance souhaitée.Such an embodiment makes it easier to manipulate the editing module to bring it into the desired maintenance position.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut comprendre des moyens pour assister les mouvements de translation et de rotation du module d'édition.The device according to the invention may comprise means for assisting the translation and rotation movements of the editing module.

Les moyens pour assister les mouvements de translation et de rotation peuvent comprendre :

Les moyens de commande peuvent comprendre des capteurs permettant la détection d'un événement particulier, par exemple l'ouverture d'une porte d'accès à l'intérieur du système d'édition, pour déclencher les mouvements de translation et de rotation du module d'édition de manière automatisée.The control means may comprise sensors enabling the detection of a particular event, for example the opening of an access door inside the editing system, to trigger the translation and rotation movements of the module. editing in an automated way.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut en outre comprendre au moins une poignée disposée sur le module d'édition et/ou sur les moyens de translation et/ou sur les moyens de rotation, ladite au moins une poignée permettant à un opérateur de mettre ledit module en mouvement.The device according to the invention may further comprise at least one handle disposed on the editing module and / or on the translation means and / or on the rotation means, said at least one handle allowing an operator to put said module in motion.

Sur les figures et dans la suite de la description, les éléments communs à plusieurs figures conservent la même référence.In the figures and in the following description, the elements common to several figures retain the same reference.

Dans tous les exemples non limitatifs décrits et sur les figures, le système d'édition comprend un module d'édition 102 comprenant des moyens d'édition 104 et des moyens de maintien d'une charge de support d'édition 106. Les moyens d'édition 104 et les moyens de maintien 106 sont reliés fixement les uns aux autres.In all the nonlimiting examples described and in the figures, the editing system comprises an editing module 102 comprising editing means 104 and means for maintaining an editing support load 106. The editing means 104 and the holding means 106 are fixedly connected to each other.

La figure 1 est une représentation schématique d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un dispositif 100 selon l'invention.The figure 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a device 100 according to the invention.

Le dispositif 100 comprend une première paire de glissières 108 et 110 disposées de manière sensiblement parallèle entre elles et à la surface sur laquelle est posé le système d'édition (non représenté). Les glissières 108 et 110 autorisent la translation du module d'édition 102 dans le sens de l'opérateur selon un premier axe de translation matérialisé par la flèche 112.The device 100 comprises a first pair of slides 108 and 110 disposed substantially parallel to each other and to the surface on which the editing system (not shown) is placed. The slides 108 and 110 allow translation of the editing module 102 in the direction of the operator along a first axis of translation materialized by the arrow 112.

Les glissières 108 et 110 sont prévues pour être fixées sur le châssis du système d'édition, par exemple à l'aide de vis de fixation, de part et d'autre du module d'édition 102.The slides 108 and 110 are designed to be fixed on the frame of the editing system, for example by means of fixing screws, on either side of the editing module 102.

Le dispositif 100 comprend en outre une deuxième paire de glissières 114 et 116 disposées de manière parallèle entre elles et non parallèles aux glissières 108 et 110 de la première paire de glissières. Plus précisément les glissières 114 et 116 de la deuxième paire sont disposées de sorte qu'elles forment un angle aigu avec les glissières 108 et 110 de la première paire, dans le sens trigonométrique. Autrement dit, les glissières 114 et 116 de la deuxième paire sont disposées de sorte qu'elles se rapprochent des glissières 108 et 110 de la première paire de glissières dans le sens de la flèche 112.The device 100 further comprises a second pair of slides 114 and 116 arranged parallel to each other and not parallel to the slides 108 and 110 of the first pair of slides. More specifically, the slides 114 and 116 of the second pair are arranged so that they form an acute angle with the slides 108 and 110 of the first pair, in the trigonometrical direction. In other words, the slides 114 and 116 of the second pair are arranged so that they are close to the slides 108 and 110 of the first pair of slides in the direction of the arrow 112.

Les glissières 114 et 116 autorisent la translation du module d'édition 102 dans le sens de l'opérateur selon un deuxième axe de translation matérialisé par la flèche 118.The slides 114 and 116 allow translation of the editing module 102 in the direction of the operator along a second axis of translation materialized by the arrow 118.

Les glissières 114 et 116 sont prévues pour être fixées sur le châssis du système d'édition, par exemple à l'aide de vis de fixation, de part et d'autre du module d'édition 102.The slides 114 and 116 are intended to be fixed on the frame of the editing system, for example by means of fixing screws, on either side of the editing module 102.

Le module d'édition est lié aux glissières 108 et 110 grâce à une liaison en pivot, respectivement 120 et 122, pour chacune des glissières 108 et 110 qui autorisent une rotation du module d'édition 102, c'est-à-dire des moyens d'édition 104 et des moyens de maintien 106, autour d'un premier axe de rotation matérialisé par la ligne 124, perpendiculaire au premier axe de translation et au deuxième axe de translation.The editing module is linked to the slides 108 and 110 by means of a pivot connection, respectively 120 and 122, for each of the slides 108 and 110 which allow a rotation of the editing module 102, that is to say edit means 104 and holding means 106, about a first axis of rotation materialized by the line 124, perpendicular to the first axis of translation and the second axis of translation.

Le module d'édition est lié aux glissières 114 et 116 grâce à une liaison en pivot, respectivement 126 et 128, pour chacune des glissières 114 et 116 qui autorisent une rotation du module d'édition 102, c'est-à-dire des moyens d'édition 104 et des moyens de maintien 106, autour d'un deuxième axe de rotation matérialisé par la ligne 130, perpendiculaire au premier et au deuxième axes de translation et parallèle au premier axe de rotation.The editing module is linked to the slides 114 and 116 by means of a pivot link, respectively 126 and 128, for each of the slides 114 and 116 which allow the editing module 102 to rotate, that is to say edit means 104 and holding means 106, about a second axis of rotation materialized by the line 130, perpendicular to the first and second axes of translation and parallel to the first axis of rotation.

Lors de la translation du module d'édition, le premier axe de rotation est en translation selon le premier axe de translation et le deuxième axe de rotation est en translation selon le deuxième axe de translation.During translation of the editing module, the first axis of rotation is in translation along the first axis of translation and the second axis of rotation is in translation along the second axis of translation.

Les moyens d'édition 104 et les moyens de maintien 106 étant liés entre eux fixement, les deux axes de rotation sont maintenus à une distance constante l'un de l'autre.The editing means 104 and the holding means 106 being fixedly connected to each other, the two axes of rotation are maintained at a constant distance from one another.

Le dispositif 100 comprend en outre des poignées 132 et 134 disposées de part et d'autre du module d'édition 102 pour permettre à un opérateur de mettre le module d'édition en mouvement.The device 100 further comprises handles 132 and 134 disposed on either side of the editing module 102 to allow an operator to put the editing module in motion.

La combinaison de deux paires de glissières autorisant/imposant au module d'édition une translation selon deux axes de translation non parallèles, permet d'imposer au module d'édition 102 à la fois et simultanément un mouvement de translation et un mouvement de rotation. Plus particulièrement, le(s) mouvement(s) de translation du module d'édition 102 provoque(nt) un mouvement de rotation de l'ensemble du module.The combination of two pairs of slides allowing / imposing on the editing module a translation along two non-parallel translation axes makes it possible to impose on the editing module 102 at the same time and simultaneously a translation movement and a rotational movement. More particularly, the translation movement (s) of the editing module 102 causes (s) a rotational movement of the entire module.

Sur la figure 1, le dispositif 100 est représenté dans sa position d'édition selon une vue isométrique.On the figure 1 , the device 100 is shown in its editing position in an isometric view.

Les figures 2a à 2c sont des représentations schématiques du passage de dispositif de la figure 1 de la position d'édition à la position de maintenance. Sur les figures 2a à 2c, la charge de support se présente sous la forme d'un rouleau 202.The Figures 2a to 2c are schematic representations of the device passage of the figure 1 from the editing position to the maintenance position. On the Figures 2a to 2c , the support load is in the form of a roll 202.

La figure 2a représente le dispositif 100 dans la position d'édition selon une vue de côté. La charge de papier en rouleau 202 est disposée sur les moyens de maintien 106.The figure 2a represents the device 100 in the editing position according to a side view. The roll paper charge 202 is disposed on the holding means 106.

Pour mettre le module d'édition en mouvement, l'opérateur exerce par exemple une traction selon la flèche 204 sur les poignées 132, 134. Le module d'édition 102 commence alors une translation selon le premier axe de translation 112 et une translation selon le deuxième axe de translation 118. Les axes de translation 112 et 118 n'étant pas parallèles entre eux, et les moyens d'édition 104 et les moyens de maintien 106 étant reliés entre eux fixement, le module d'édition subit une rotation autour d'un premier axe de rotation et une rotation autour d'un deuxième axe de rotation.To put the editing module in motion, the operator exerts for example a traction according to the arrow 204 on the handles 132, 134. The editing module 102 then begins a translation along the first translation axis 112 and a translation according to the second translation axis 118. The translation axes 112 and 118 are not parallel to each other, and the editing means 104 and the holding means 106 are interconnected, the editing module rotates around it a first axis of rotation and a rotation about a second axis of rotation.

La figure 2b représente le dispositif 100 dans une position intermédiaire entre la position d'édition et la position de maintenance selon une vue de côté.The figure 2b represents the device 100 in an intermediate position between the editing position and the maintenance position according to a side view.

On remarque que le module d'édition 102 a subi une translation selon le premier axe de translation 112 et une translation selon le deuxième axe de translation 118. Ces deux translations ont imposé au module d'édition 102 une rotation autour du premier axe de rotation passant par la liaison en pivot 120 et une rotation autour du deuxième axe de rotation passant par la liaison en pivot 126. On remarque aussi que les axes de translation ont subi les translations appliquées au module d'édition 102 suivant les premier et deuxième axes de translation 112 et 118.Note that the editing module 102 has been translated along the first translation axis 112 and a translation along the second translation axis 118. These two translations have imposed on the editing module 102 a rotation about the first axis of rotation passing through the pivot connection 120 and a rotation about the second axis of rotation passing through the pivot connection 126. It is also noted that the translation axes have undergone the translations applied to the editing module 102 along the first and second axes of translation 112 and 118.

Par ailleurs, la rotation du module d'édition 102 a permis de déplacer l'ouverture d'engagement 206 des supports d'édition dans les moyens d'édition 104. Cette ouverture d'engagement 206 est maintenant visible alors que dans la position d'édition représentée sur la figure 2a, elle n'était pas visible.On the other hand, the rotation of the editing module 102 has made it possible to move the engagement opening 206 of the editing media in the editing means 104. This engagement opening 206 is now visible whereas in the position of edition shown on the figure 2a she was not visible.

La figure 2c représente le dispositif 100 dans la position de maintenance selon une vue de côté.The Figure 2c represents the device 100 in the maintenance position according to a side view.

On remarque que dans cette position, la combinaison des translations et des rotations ont positionnés :

  • les moyens de maintien 106 supportant la charge de support d'édition 202 sensiblement à la même hauteur que la première paire de glissières 108, 110, alors que dans la position d'édition représentée sur la figure 2a la charge de supports d'édition se trouvait à une faible hauteur, et
  • l'ouverture d'engagement 206 du support d'édition dans les moyens d'édition 104 face à l'opérateur alors que dans la position d'édition représentée sur la figure 2a elle ne l'était pas.
Note that in this position, the combination of translations and rotations have positioned:
  • the holding means 106 supporting the editing medium load 202 substantially at the same height as the first pair of slides 108, 110, whereas in the editing position shown on the figure 2a the load of editing media was at a low height, and
  • the engagement opening 206 of the editing medium in the editing means 104 facing the operator while in the editing position shown on the figure 2a she was not.

Ainsi, le dispositif 100 facilite la disposition d'une nouvelle charge de support d'édition sur les moyens de maintien 106, l'opérateur n'ayant plus besoin de se baisser pour atteindre les moyens de maintien 106. Par ailleurs, l'engagement du support d'édition dans l'ouverture d'engagement 206 est facilité car l'opérateur à un accès physique et visuel direct à l'ouverture d'engagement 206 qui se trouve face à l'opérateur dans la position de maintenance représentée sur la figure 2c.Thus, the device 100 facilitates the provision of a new publishing support load on the holding means 106, the operator no longer having to bend down to reach the holding means 106. Moreover, the engagement of the editing medium in the engagement aperture 206 is facilitated because the operator has direct physical and visual access to the engagement aperture 206 which faces the operator in the maintenance position shown in FIG. Figure 2c .

Les figures 3a à 3c sont des représentations schématiques du passage de dispositif de la figure 1 de la position d'édition à la position de maintenance. Sur les figures 3a à 3c, la charge de support se présente sous la forme d'un paravent 302.The Figures 3a to 3c are schematic representations of the device passage of the figure 1 from the editing position to the maintenance position. On the Figures 3a to 3c , the support load is in the form of a screen 302.

Sur la figure 3a, le dispositif 100 est représenté dans la position d'édition, sur la figure 3c le dispositif 100 est représenté dans la position de maintenance et sur la figure 3b le dispositif 100 est représenté dans une position intermédiaire.On the figure 3a , the device 100 is represented in the editing position, on the figure 3c the device 100 is represented in the maintenance position and on the figure 3b the device 100 is shown in an intermediate position.

La figure 4 est une représentation schématique du principe général du mouvement du module d'impression représenté sur les figures 2a-2c et 3a-3c.The figure 4 is a schematic representation of the general principle of the movement of the printing module shown on the Figures 2a-2c and 3a-3c .

Le mouvement complet du module d'édition 102 peut être obtenu à partir d'un mouvement basé sur le principe des centres instantanés de rotation, autrement appelé principe de la base et de la roulante, la base et la roulante étant les trajectoires décrites par les centres instantanés de rotation, respectivement dans les repères fixe (attaché à la structure du système d'édition) et mobile (attaché au module d'édition en mouvement), ce mouvement étant contraint par :

  • o les translations de 2 points A et B du module d'édition en mouvement, respectivement sur une droite Y et une droite X. Dans les exemples décrits dans les figures 2a-2c et 3a-3c, la droite Y est matérialisée par le premier jeu de glissières c'est-à-dire par la flèche 112, et la droite X est matérialisée par le deuxième jeu de glissières c'est-à-dire la flèche 118 ; et
  • o des liaisons pivot aux points A et B. Dans les exemples décrits dans les figures 2a-2c et 3a-3c, au point A sont associées deux liaisons en pivot disposées sur le premier jeu de glissières et donc sur la droite Y, à savoir les liaisons en pivot 120 et 122, et au point B sont associées deux liaisons en pivot disposées sur le deuxième jeu de glissières et donc sur la droite X, à savoir les liaisons en pivot 126 et 128.
Ainsi, tel que représenté sur la figure 4, le point A se trouve sur la droite Y à tout moment et le point B se trouve sur la droite X à tout moment.The complete movement of the editing module 102 can be obtained from a movement based on the principle of instantaneous centers of rotation, otherwise known as the principle of the base and the wheel, the base and the rolling being the trajectories described by the instantaneous centers of rotation, respectively in the fixed (attached to the structure of the editing system) and mobile (attached to the moving edition module) markers, this movement being constrained by:
  • o the translations of 2 points A and B of the moving editing module, respectively on a line Y and a line X. In the examples described in FIGS. Figures 2a-2c and 3a-3c , the line Y is materialized by the first set of slides, that is to say by the arrow 112, and the line X is materialized by the second set of slides, that is to say the arrow 118; and
  • o pivot links at points A and B. In the examples described in Figures 2a-2c and 3a-3c at point A are associated two pivot links arranged on the first set of slides and thus on the straight line Y, namely the pivot connections 120 and 122, and at point B are associated two pivot links arranged on the second set of slides and thus on the right X, namely pivot connections 126 and 128.
Thus, as represented on the figure 4 , point A is on the right Y at any time and point B is on the right X at any time.

Les figures 5a et 5b sont des représentations schématiques d'un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif 500 selon l'invention. Le dispositif 500 est représenté selon une vue de côté et de manière schématique.The figures 5a and 5b are schematic representations of a second embodiment of a device 500 according to the invention. The device 500 is shown in a side view and schematically.

Sur la figure 5a, le dispositif 500 est représenté dans la position d'édition et sur la figure 5b le dispositif 500 est représenté dans la position de maintenance.On the figure 5a , the device 500 is represented in the editing position and on the figure 5b the device 500 is shown in the maintenance position.

Le dispositif 500 comporte un jeu de glissières 502. Le module d'édition 102, comportant les moyens d'édition 104 et les moyens de maintien 104 de la charge de support d'édition 504 sous forme de rouleau ou de paravent, est relié au jeu de glissières 502 grâce à une ou plusieurs liaisons en pivot 506.The device 500 comprises a set of slides 502. The editing module 102, comprising the editing means 104 and the holding means 104 of the editing support load 504 in the form of a roll or screen, is connected to the slide set 502 through one or more pivot links 506.

Le jeu de glissière 502 autorise une translation du module d'édition 102 selon un axe de translation matérialisé par la flèche 508 et la liaison en pivot 506 autorise une rotation du module d'édition 102 autour d'un axe de rotation, matérialisé le point 510.The slide clearance 502 allows the translation module 102 to be translated along an axis of translation represented by the arrow 508 and the pivot link 506 allows a rotation of the editing module 102 around an axis of rotation, materialized by the point 510.

La figure 6 est une représentation d'un exemple d'un système d'édition 600 de l'état de la technique.The figure 6 is a representation of an example of an editing system 600 of the state of the art.

Ce système comporte une porte battante 602 et un tiroir horizontal 604 sur le sur lequel est disposé le module d'édition et la charge 202 de support d'impression. Sur la figure 6 la porte battante 602 est ouverte et le tiroir horizontal 604 est tiré de sorte que le système d'édition 600 se trouve dans la position de maintenance.This system comprises a hinged door 602 and a horizontal drawer 604 on which is disposed the editing module and the load 202 of print medium. On the figure 6 the swing door 602 is open and the horizontal drawer 604 is pulled so that the editing system 600 is in the maintenance position.

On remarque que dans cette position de maintenance, la charge 202 de supports se trouve loin de l'opérateur car le module d'édition 102 se trouve entre la charge 202 et l'opérateur. Ce dernier doit alors manipuler la charge 202 dans une position latérale par rapport au système d'édition 600 et se trouve alors en porte-à-faux. Dans le système 600 de l'état de la technique, l'accessibilité à la charge 202 de supports d'édition est donc limitée. Même si celle-ci se situe en dehors du châssis une fois le tiroir 604 extrait du châssis, elle se trouve à une hauteur inadaptée au chargement (au dessus des épaules de l'opérateur), à une distance trop importante de l'opérateur qui doit alors manipuler la charge 202 de supports dans une position latérale. Toutes ces limites rendent difficile la manipulation de la charge 202 de supports d'édition. Ces limites peuvent même constituer un obstacle lorsque les charges de supports d'édition sont volumineux et/ou lourds, ce qui est le cas dans la plupart des systèmes d'édition se trouvant dans des lieux tels que des gares, des aéroports, ou des sites où l'utilisation des systèmes d'édition est très fréquente.Note that in this maintenance position, the media load 202 is far from the operator because the editing module 102 is between the load 202 and the operator. The latter must then handle the load 202 in a lateral position relative to the editing system 600 and is then cantilevered. In the system 600 of the state of the art, accessibility to the load 202 of editing media is limited. Even if it is outside the frame once the drawer 604 extracted from the frame, it is at a height unsuitable for loading (above the shoulders of the operator), too far distance from the operator who then must handle the media load 202 in a lateral position. All of these limitations make it difficult to handle the print media load 202. These limits can even be an obstacle when the loads of editing media are large and / or heavy, which is the case in most publishing systems in places such as railway stations, airports, or airports. sites where the use of editing systems is very common.

Les figures 7a et 7b représentent un système d'édition 700 selon l'invention.The Figures 7a and 7b represent an editing system 700 according to the invention.

Sur la figure 7a le système d'édition 700 est représenté en position d'édition et sur la figure 7b le système d'édition se trouve en position de maintenance.On the figure 7a the editing system 700 is represented in the editing position and on the figure 7b the editing system is in the maintenance position.

On remarque que dans la position d'édition, en figure 7a, la charge 202 de support se trouve à une hauteur inadéquate, en dessous des épaules de l'opérateur et dans une position retirée. Cependant, dans la position de maintenance, en figure 7b, elle se trouve à une hauteur adéquate pour sa manipulation et dans une position facilement accessible pour l'opérateur sans que celui soit obligé de se pencher ou de se mettre en porte-à-faux.We notice that in the editing position, in figure 7a the support load 202 is at an inadequate height, below the operator's shoulders and in a withdrawn position. However, in the maintenance position, in figure 7b it is at an appropriate height for handling and in a position easily accessible to the operator without the need to bend or cantilever.

Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits.Naturally, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described.

Dans tous les exemples donnés, les moyens de rotation, à savoir les liaisons en pivot, sont disposées entre le module d'édition et les moyens de translation, à savoir les glissières, ces dernières étant fixées sur le châssis du système d'édition. Cependant, dans un autre mode de réalisation qui ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention, les moyens de translation peuvent être disposés entre les moyens de rotation, ces derniers pouvant être fixés sur le châssis du système d'édition.In all the examples given, the rotation means, namely the pivot connections, are arranged between the editing module and the translation means, namely the slides, the latter being fixed to the frame of the editing system. However, in another embodiment that is not outside the scope of the present invention, the translation means may be arranged between the rotation means, the latter being able to be fixed on the frame of the editing system.

Par ailleurs, dans les exemples donnés, les moyens de rotation, à savoir les liaisons en pivot, et les moyens de translation, à savoir les glissières, sont disposés de part et d'autre du module d'édition. Cependant, dans un autre mode de réalisation qui ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention, les moyens de translation et les moyens de rotation peuvent être disposés seulement sur un côté du système d'édition.Moreover, in the examples given, the rotation means, namely the pivot connections, and the translation means, namely the slides, are arranged on either side of the editing module. However, in another embodiment that is not outside the scope of the present invention, the translation means and the rotation means may be arranged only on one side of the editing system.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut en outre comprendre des moyens d'assistance pour déplacer le module d'édition, motorisés ou non, éventuellement commandés par des moyens de commandes pouvant être associés à des capteurs ou actionnés à distance.The device according to the invention may further comprise assistance means for moving the editing module, motorized or not, possibly controlled by control means that can be associated with sensors or actuated remotely.
