An elastomer material ring (1.3) is placed in a front part. The slot is made of deformable and flexible material.

Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des outils à main et en particulier des poignées de préhension destinées aux outils de frappe à main.The invention relates to the technical sector of hand tools and in particular grips for hand-held tools.

La mise en oeuvre de telles poignées de préhension est ainsi connue et appliquée pour des burins, marteaux, chasse-goupilles, pointeaux.The implementation of such gripping handles is known and applied for chisels, hammers, punch pins, needles.

Le demandeur a développé de nombreux perfectionnements sur ces types de poignées pour faciliter la préhension, pour améliorer l'amortissement de la frappe. Cela a fait l'objet notamment des brevets français 2.720.314 , 2.743.321 et 2.919.514 .The applicant has developed many improvements on these types of handles to facilitate gripping, to improve the damping of the keystroke. This was the subject of French patents 2720314 , 2743321 and 2919514 .

Le problème posé particulièrement pour les chasse-goupilles, pointeaux réside dans le fait que la section des outils de frappe est relativement faible et que donc le positionnement de la main et particulièrement des doigts sur la poignée reste empirique avec des possibilités de glissement.The problem posed particularly for pin punchers is that the section of the striking tools is relatively small and therefore the positioning of the hand and particularly the fingers on the handle remains empirical with sliding possibilities.

Un autre problème réside en ce que la poignée couvre la quasi-totalité de la surface de l'outil de frappe à l'exception de ses extrémités l'une de frappe, et l'autre active en contact avec la pièce à frapper. Dans ces conditions, il est quasiment impossible d'assurer un marquage sur l'outil et qui plus est de pouvoir l'identifier et le lire.Another problem is that the handle covers almost the entire surface of the striking tool except for its one striking end, and the other activates in contact with the workpiece. Under these conditions, it is almost impossible to ensure a marking on the tool and moreover to be able to identify and read it.

Un autre problème réside également dans le fait que lors de la frappe la poignée n'absorbe pas de façon optimale les efforts et chocs générés.Another problem also lies in the fact that when striking the handle does not optimally absorb the forces and shocks generated.

La démarche du demandeur a donc été de repenser à la conception de la poignée pour outils de frappe, plus particulièrement adaptée aux chasse-goupilles et pointeaux pour répondre à la triple problématique précitée.The applicant's approach was therefore to rethink the design of the grip for striking tools, more particularly suited to punch-pins and needles to address the aforementioned triple problem.

La solution apportée par le demandeur met en oeuvre une solution simple et pratique , peu couteuse et qui permet à l'utilisateur d'avoir une meilleure tenue en main de la poignée associée à l'outil de frappe et le cas échéant de pouvoir contrôler l'identification du marquage de l'outil en particulier les informations relatives à sa composition, et à la marque du fabriquant et/ou distributeur. Cette solution permet également d'absorber les efforts et chocs générés lors de la frappe et ainsi conférer à la pognée un confort d'utilisation amélioré.The solution provided by the applicant implements a simple and practical solution, inexpensive and which allows the user to have a better grip of the handle associated with the striking tool and if necessary to control the identification of the marking of the tool, in particular information relating to its composition, and to the brand of the manufacturer and / or distributor. This solution also makes it possible to absorb the forces and shocks generated during the striking and thus give the handle an improved comfort of use.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, la poignée pour outils de frappe à main notamment pour chasse-goupilles et pointeaux est réalisée sous forme d'un manchon en matière plastique disposé sur le corps de l'outil de frappe tout en autorisant le débordement des extrémités dudit outil, ladite poignée étant remarquable en ce qu'elle comprend une partie de liaison réalisée en un matériau déformable traversant un canal agencé à l'intérieur de ladite poignée, ladite partie de liaison comprenant une bague agencée à une première extrémité, une partie formant protubérance agencée à l'autre extrémité et au moins un élément ouvert, de forme complémentaire à au moins une lumière oblongue que comprend la poignée, de manière à s'emboîter dans ladite lumière et permettre une prise des doigts de l'utilisateur et la lecture d'un marquage établi sur la partie correspondante du corps d'outils, la bague et la partie formant protubérance sont reliées entre elles par une première tige de liaison, et ladite partie formant protubérance comprend un trou traversant de même forme que celui de la bague et dans le prolongement de celui-ci de manière à recevoir l'outil de frappe, cette partie de liaison permet de transmettre de l'avant vers l'arrière les efforts et chocs générés lors de la frappe.According to a first characteristic of the invention, the handle for hand-tapping tools in particular for pin punch and needle punching is made in the form of a plastic sleeve disposed on the body of the striking tool while allowing the overflow ends of said tool, said handle being remarkable in that it comprises a connecting part made of a deformable material passing through a channel arranged inside said handle, said connecting portion comprising a ring arranged at a first end, a protrusion portion arranged at the other end and at least one open element, of complementary shape to at least one oblong slot that includes the handle, so as to fit into said light and allow a grip of the fingers of the user and reading a marking established on the corresponding part of the tool body, the ring and the protrusion portion are connected between them by a first connecting rod, and said protrusion portion comprises a through hole of the same shape as that of the ring and in the extension thereof so as to receive the tool of strike, this connecting part allows to transmit from front to back the forces and shocks generated during the strike.

De cette manière, la poignée selon l'invention permet une tenue en main optimale de l'outil de frappe tout en conférant à l'utilisateur un confort d'utilisation par la transmission des efforts et chocs générés, de l'avant de la poignée vers l'arrière, ce qui a pour résultat d'atténuer ceux-ci et en permettant à l'utilisateur de pouvoir contrôler l'identification du marquage de l'outil en particulier les informations relatives à sa composition, et à la marque du fabriquant et/ou distributeur.In this way, the handle according to the invention allows an optimal grip of the striking tool while giving the user comfort of use by transmitting the forces and shocks generated from the front of the handle towards the rear, which has the effect of attenuating them and allowing the user to be able to control the identification of the marking of the tool, in particular the information relating to its composition, and to the manufacturer's mark and / or distributor.

De préférence, dans la poignée selon l'invention, l'élément ouvert est relié à la partie formant protubérance au moyen d'une deuxième tige de liaison.Preferably, in the handle according to the invention, the open member is connected to the protrusion portion by means of a second connecting rod.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de la poignée selon l'invention, l'élément ouvert est agencé sur la première tige de liaison reliant la bague à la partie formant protubérance.According to another embodiment of the handle according to the invention, the open element is arranged on the first connecting rod connecting the ring to the protrusion portion.

Avantageusement, deux éléments ouverts sont agencés, l'un relié à la partie formant protubérance au moyen d'une deuxième tige de liaison et l'autre agencé sur la première tige de liaison reliant la bague à la partie formant protubérance.Advantageously, two open elements are arranged, one connected to the protuberance portion by means of a second connecting rod and the other arranged on the first connecting rod connecting the ring to the protrusion portion.

De cette manière, l'utilisateur dispose d'une tenue en main améliorée, du fait de la présence des deux éléments ouverts, lesquels forment une prise des doigts.In this way, the user has an improved grip, because of the presence of two open elements, which form a grip of the fingers.

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

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

En référence aux figures 1 à 3, la poignée pour outils de frappe à main est référencée dans son ensemble par 1 et est réalisée selon la configuration d'un manchon en un matériau élastomère mono-matière ou bi-matière avec un alésage intérieur 1.1 dans toute sa longueur pour autoriser l'insertion et emmanchement serré de l'outil de frappe 2 qui peut être un chasse-goupille, un pointeau et outil similaire. La configuration de la poignée est quelconque en particulier à son extrémité arrière qui peut être susceptible de constituer une garde de protection au moment de la frappe.With reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the grip for hand-tapping tools is referenced as a whole by 1 and is carried out according to the configuration of a sleeve made of a single-material or bi-material elastomeric material with an internal bore 1.1 throughout its length to allow insertion and tight fitting of the striking tool 2 which can be a pin punch, a needle and similar tool. The configuration of the handle is unspecific in particular at its rear end which may be capable of constituting a protective guard at the time of typing.

Selon l'invention, la poignée 1 présente dans sa longueur dans un plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la poignée et de l'outil de frappe au moins une lumière oblongue 1.2. Cette lumière est établie selon une longueur appropriée et est susceptible de déformation sur son pourtour périphérique lors du positionnement d'un ou de plusieurs doigts de l'utilisateur lors de la saisie de l'outil. Cette lumière est avantageusement réalisée sur au moins un côté de la poignée mais on peut concevoir qu'il puisse y avoir en opposition une autre lumière oblongue sur l'autre côté de la poignée. Cette lumière oblongue peut être continue ou être discontinue, c'est-à-dire en présentant plusieurs zones successives séparées mais dans le même alignement. Cette ou ces lumières oblongues ont aussi pour fonction de permettre un visuel de la partie apparente du corps de l'outil en regards et en particulier d'identifier le ou les marquages qui peuvent être disposés aux endroits considérés.According to the invention, the handle 1 has in its length in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle and the striking tool at least one oblong slot 1.2. This light is established in an appropriate length and is capable of deformation on its peripheral periphery when positioning one or more fingers of the user when grasping the tool. This light is advantageously made on at least one side of the handle, but it is conceivable that there may be in opposition another oblong light on the other side of the handle. This oblong light may be continuous or discontinuous, that is to say by having several successive separate zones but in the same alignment. This or these oblong lights also have the function of allowing a visual of the apparent part of the body of the tool in view and in particular to identify the mark or markings that can be arranged in the places considered.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la poignée présente dans sa partie avant une bague 1.3 en matériau élastomère déformable et assurant une fonction d'amortissement lors de la frappe. Cette bague 1.3 est rendue solidaire de l'extrémité de la poignée par collage ou tout autre moyen. Ainsi la poignée, peut présenter des zones de matière différente selon les applications qui sont données.According to another characteristic of the invention, the handle has in its front part a ring 1.3 of deformable elastomeric material and providing a damping function during the striking. This ring 1.3 is secured to the end of the handle by gluing or any other means. Thus the handle, may have areas of different material depending on the applications that are given.

On peut aussi concevoir que ladite poignée présente intérieurement un épaulement pour venir s'ancrer dans une rainure de positionnement établie sur le corps de l'outil comme cela a notamment été précisé dans les brevets antérieurs du Demandeur.It is also conceivable that said handle internally has a shoulder to be anchored in a positioning groove established on the body of the tool as has been specified in particular in the prior patents of the Applicant.

Dans une forme optimisée de la poignée selon l'invention, et en référence aux figures 4 à 8, la poignée pour outils de frappe à main est référencée dans son ensemble par 1 et est réalisée selon la configuration d'un manchon en un matériau élastomère avec un alésage intérieur 2 dans toute sa longueur pour autoriser l'insertion d'une partie de liaison 3 et l'insertion et emmanchement serré de l'outil de frappe qui peut être un chasse-goupille, un pointeau et outil similaire.In an optimized form of the handle according to the invention, and with reference to Figures 4 to 8 the grip for hand-tapping tools is referenced as a whole by 1 and is made according to the configuration of a sleeve made of an elastomeric material with an inner bore 2 in all its length to allow insertion of a connecting part 3 and the insertion and tight fitting of the striking tool which can be a pin punch, a punch and similar tool.

La poignée 1 présente dans sa longueur dans un plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la poignée et de l'outil de frappe au moins une lumière oblongue 5. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la poignée 1 présente deux lumières oblongues 5. Ces lumières 5 sont établies selon une longueur appropriée et sont susceptibles de déformation sur leur pourtour périphérique lors du positionnement d'un ou de plusieurs doigts de l'utilisateur lors de la saisie de l'outil. Ces lumières 5 sont réalisées sur les deux côtés de la poignée 1 et sont agencées de manière diamétralement opposée. Ces lumières oblongues 5 sont continues mais elles peuvent également être discontinues, c'est-à-dire en présentant plusieurs zones successives séparées mais dans le même alignement. Ces lumières oblongues 5 ont aussi pour fonction de permettre un visuel de la partie apparente du corps de l'outil en regard et en particulier d'identifier le ou les marquages qui peuvent être disposés aux endroits considérés.The handle 1 has in its length in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle and the striking tool at least one oblong slot 5. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle 1 has two lights oblong 5. These lights 5 are established in an appropriate length and may be deformed around their peripheral periphery when positioning one or more fingers of the user when grasping the tool. These lights 5 are made on both sides of the handle 1 and are arranged diametrically opposite. These oblong slots 5 are continuous but they can also be discontinuous, that is to say by having several successive separate areas but in the same alignment. These oblong lights 5 also have the function of allowing a visual of the apparent part of the body of the tool opposite and in particular to identify the mark or markings that can be arranged in the places considered.

La configuration de la poignée 1 est quelconque en particulier à son extrémité arrière qui peut être susceptible de constituer une garde de protection au moment de la frappe.The configuration of the handle 1 is unspecified in particular at its rear end which may be able to constitute a protective guard at the time of striking.

La partie de liaison 3 agencée à l'intérieur de ladite poignée 1 est réalisée en un matériau déformable et comprend une bague 6 agencée à une première extrémité, une partie formant protubérance 7 agencée à l'autre extrémité et deux éléments ouverts 8 et 9, de formes complémentaires à la forme des lumières oblongues 5 que comprend la poignée 1. La bague 6 et la partie formant protubérance 7 de la partie de liaison 3 sont reliées entre elles par une première tige de liaison 10. La partie de liaison 3 est agencée à l'intérieur de la poignée 1 mais la bague 6 et la partie formant protubérance 7 sont agencées en débordement de ladite poignée 1. La partie formant protubérance 7 comprend un trou traversant 11 de même forme que celui de la bague 6 et dans le prolongement de celui-ci de manière à recevoir l'outil de frappe. La bague 6 et le trou traversant 11 sont également dans le prolongement de l'alésage intérieur 2 de la poignée 1 pour autoriser l'insertion et emmanchement serré de l'outil de frappe.The connecting part 3 arranged inside said handle 1 is made of a deformable material and comprises a ring 6 arranged at one end, a protruding portion 7 arranged at the other end and two open elements 8 and 9, of complementary shapes to the shape of the oblong slots 5 that includes the handle 1. The ring 6 and the protruding portion 7 of the connecting portion 3 are interconnected by a first connecting rod 10. The connecting portion 3 is arranged inside the handle 1 but the ring 6 and the protrusion portion 7 are arranged in overflow of said handle 1. The protrusion portion 7 comprises a through hole 11 of the same shape as that of the ring 6 and in the extension of it in order to receive the striking tool. The ring 6 and the through hole 11 are also in the extension of the inner bore 2 of the handle 1 to allow insertion and tight fitting of the striking tool.

L'alésage intérieur 2 de la poignée 1 comprend en outre sur sa périphérie une première cavité longitudinale 12 s'étendant sur toute la longueur de l'alésage 2 de la poignée 1 et destinée à recevoir la première tige de liaison 10 reliant la bague 6 à la partie formant protubérance 7, sans que celle-ci ne gêne à l'insertion de l'outil de frappe.The inner bore 2 of the handle 1 further comprises on its periphery a first longitudinal cavity 12 extending over the entire length of the bore 2 of the handle 1 and intended to receive the first connecting rod 10 connecting the ring 6 to the protruding portion 7, without this hindering the insertion of the striking tool.

Les éléments ouverts 8 et 9 sont agencés de manière à s'emboîter dans lesdites lumières 5 et permettre une prise des doigts de l'utilisateur et la lecture d'un marquage établi sur la partie correspondante du corps d'outils.The open elements 8 and 9 are arranged to fit into said slots 5 and allow a grip of the user's fingers and the reading of a marking established on the corresponding portion of the tool body.

A cet effet, le premier élément ouvert 8 est relié, par un de ses bords longitudinal, à un côté de ladite première tige de liaison 10 et le deuxième élément ouvert 9 est relié à la partie formant protubérance 7 par une deuxième tige de liaison 13 similaire à celle reliant la bague 6 à ladite partie formant protubérance 7. Et, de la même manière, l'alésage intérieur 2 de la poignée 1 comprend une deuxième cavité longitudinale s'étendant d'une extrémité de la lumière oblongue 5, recevant l'élément ouvert 9, jusqu'à la partie formant protubérance 7. De cette manière, et de la même manière que précédemment, la deuxième cavité longitudinale est destinée à recevoir la deuxième tige de liaison 13 sans que celle-ci ne gêne à l'insertion de l'outil de frappe.For this purpose, the first open element 8 is connected, by one of its longitudinal edges, to one side of said first connecting rod 10 and the second open element 9 is connected to the protrusion portion 7 by a second connecting rod 13 similar to that connecting the ring 6 to said protrusion portion 7. And, in the same way, the inner bore 2 of the handle 1 comprises a second longitudinal cavity extending from one end of the oblong slot 5, receiving the open member 9, up to the protrusion portion 7. In this manner, and in the same manner as before, the second longitudinal cavity is intended to receive the second connecting rod 13 without this hindering the insertion of the typing tool.

La partie de liaison 3 étant réalisée en matériau élastomère déformable assure une fonction d'amortissement lors de la frappe. Cette partie de liaison 3 permet de transmettre les efforts et chocs générés lors de la frappe, au moyen de la première tige de liaison 10, de la bague 6 vers la partie formant protubérance 7. De cette manière les efforts et chocs sont transmis de l'avant de la poignée 1 vers l'arrière. Ces efforts et chocs sont ainsi quasiment totalement absorbés.The connecting portion 3 being made of deformable elastomeric material provides a damping function when striking. This connecting part 3 makes it possible to transmit the forces and shocks generated during the striking, by means of the first connecting rod 10, of the ring 6 towards the protrusion portion 7. In this way the forces and shocks are transmitted from the front of the handle 1 to the rear. These efforts and shocks are thus almost totally absorbed.

On peut aussi concevoir que ladite poignée présente intérieurement un épaulement pour venir s'ancrer dans une rainure de positionnement établie sur le corps de l'outil comme cela a notamment été précisé dans les brevets antérieurs du demandeur.It is also conceivable that said handle internally has a shoulder to be anchored in a positioning groove established on the body of the tool as has been specified in particular in the applicant's prior patents.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention.The advantages are apparent from the invention.

On souligne les nouvelles fonctionnalités apportées par la poignée permettant son maintien aisé par les doigts de l'utilisateur. En outre, la ou les lumières permettent une identification rapide des qualités de l'outil de frappe sans avoir à dégager le corps de l'outil par rapport à la poignée, et en dernier lieu, l'agencement d'une partie de liaison intérieur permet l'absorption des efforts et chocs générés lors de la frappe.It highlights the new features provided by the handle for easy maintenance by the fingers of the user. In addition, the light or lights allow rapid identification of the qualities of the striking tool without having to disengage the body of the tool relative to the handle, and finally, the arrangement of an inner connecting portion allows the absorption of the forces and shocks generated during the strike.
