Description

LUNETTES A BRANCHES ARTICULEES ELASTIQUEMENT  ELASTICALLY ARTICULATED BRACELET GLASSES
La présente invention concerne des lunettes du type constituées par une façade optique ou solaire et deux branches, chacune d'elles étant reliée à une monture ou directement à la façade, dans le cas de lunettes dites percées, par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon et d'une articulation élastique associée. Ce type d'articulation est, de manière connue, généralement composée d'un axe transversal disposé à l'extrémité du tenon, en vis-à-vis de la branche, et sur lequel s'articule un piston assujetti à cette branche et coulissant librement dans celle-ci par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de rappel élastique, selon une course prédéterminée, vers une position d'ouverture ou de fermeture. The present invention relates to glasses of the type constituted by an optical or solar facade and two branches, each of which is connected to a frame or directly to the front, in the case of so-called pierced glasses, by means of a tenon and an associated elastic joint. This type of joint is, in a known manner, generally composed of a transverse axis disposed at the end of the post, opposite the branch, and on which a piston is attached to this branch and sliding freely in the latter by means of an elastic return member, according to a predetermined stroke, to an open or closed position.
Ce type d'articulation procure un effet bistable de la branche, ayant pour conséquence de la maintenir en position d'ouverture ou de fermeture, sans osciller librement de l'une à l'autre comme c'est le cas avec une articulation classique. Ce système permet également de compenser une ouverture trop importante des branches, et ainsi éviter la rupture de celle-ci ou une déformation plastique. Néanmoins, un inconvénient rencontré dans ce type d'articulation réside dans le fait qu'un effort relativement important doit être exercé sur les branches pour passer de la position d'ouverture à la position de fermeture, et inversement, car le point de bascule entre l'une et l'autre des positions est situé entre deux zones d'appui, de surfaces relativement importantes, constituant le plan de joint entre l'extrémité du tenon et la partie correspondante de la branche, dans l'une ou l'autre des positions. This type of articulation provides a bistable effect of the branch, having the effect of maintaining it in the open or closed position, without oscillating freely from one to the other as is the case with a conventional articulation. This system also makes it possible to compensate for excessive opening of the branches, and thus to prevent them from breaking or plastic deformation. Nevertheless, a disadvantage encountered in this type of joint lies in the fact that a relatively large force must be exerted on the branches to move from the open position to the closed position, and vice versa, because the tipping point between one and the other of the positions is located between two support zones, of relatively large surfaces, constituting the plane of joint between the end of the tenon and the corresponding part of the branch, in one or the other positions.
Afin de réduire l'effort à exercer sur les branches, évoqué ci-dessus, il a donc été recherché, selon une première phase de la démarche inventive, à réduire les zones d'appui, et donc le point de bascule constituant le bistable, tout en réduisant la force du ressort . In order to reduce the effort to be exerted on the branches, mentioned above, it was therefore sought, according to a first phase of the inventive step, to reduce the support zones, and therefore the tipping point constituting the bistable, while reducing the spring force.
Mais il s'est avéré nécessaire de compenser cette perte de force afin d'éviter les oscillations de la branche lors de son arrivée en position ouverte, et la sécuriser dans cette position. But it has been necessary to compensate for this loss of strength in order to avoid oscillations of the branch when it arrives in the open position, and to secure it in this position.
De manière à atteindre ces objectifs, l'invention concerne des lunettes du type constituées par une façade optique ou solaire et deux branches, chacune d'elles étant reliée à une monture ou directement à la façade par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon et d'une articulation élastique associée, du type comprenant un axe transversal disposé à l'extrémité du tenon, en vis- à-vis de la branche, et sur lequel s'articule un piston assujetti à la branche et coulissant librement dans celle-ci, par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de rappel élastique, selon une course prédéterminée vers des positions stables d'ouverture ou de fermeture définies par le tenon présentant deux zones d'appui sensiblement perpendiculaires entre elles, constituant avec l'extrémité de la branche un plan de joint à la fermeture et à l'ouverture de celle-ci, afin de définir deux positions stables correspondantes, caractérisées en ce que ledit plan de joint à l'ouverture comporte des moyens d'assistance supplémentaires, agissant au- delà d'un point d'équilibre ou de bascule de la branche situé entre les deux zones d'appui définissant les positions stables et contribuant à renforcer la position stable en ouverture, lesdits moyens étant constitués par au moins un élément magnétique intégré dans l'une ou l'autre des zones d'appui du tenon ou de la branche formant le plan de joint en ouverture, à proximité de l'axe d'articulation. L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles. In order to achieve these objectives, the invention relates to glasses of the type constituted by an optical or solar facade and two branches, each of which is connected to a frame or directly to the facade by means of a tenon and an associated elastic articulation, of the type comprising a transverse axis disposed at the end of the tenon, opposite the branch, and on which is articulated a piston which is fastened to the branch and slides freely in it, via an elastic return member, in a predetermined stroke to stable positions of opening or closing defined by the pin having two bearing zones substantially perpendicular to each other, constituting with the end the branch a closure plane at the closing and opening thereof, to define two corresponding stable positions, characterized in that said joint plane at the opening comprises additional assistance means, acting at the beyond a point of equilibrium or tilting of the branch situated between the two bearing zones defining the stable positions and contributing to reinforcing the stable position in opening, said means being constituted by at least one magnetic element integrated in the one or other of the support zones of the tenon or the branch forming the joint plane in opening, close to the axis of articulation. The invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels : This description given by way of nonlimiting example, will better understand how the invention can be made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
La figure 1 représente, en vue de dessus, une extrémité de lunettes équipées d'une articulation élastique selon l'invention, en position stable de fermeture de la branche. FIG. 1 represents, in top view, an end of spectacles equipped with a hinge elastic according to the invention, in a stable position of closure of the branch.

La figure 5 est une vue de l'articulation, après ouverture totale de la branche, en position stable d'ouverture.  Figure 5 is a view of the joint, after total opening of the branch, in stable open position.
La figure 6 est une vue de l'articulation, en position de surcourse en ouverture.  FIG. 6 is a view of the articulation, in overtravel position during opening.
La figure 7 est une vue de l'articulation, après retour en position stable d'ouverture de la branche, selon la figure 5.  FIG. 7 is a view of the articulation, after return to the stable position of opening of the branch, according to FIG.
Les lunettes 1 globalement désignées sur les figures sont du type constituées par une façade optique ou solaire 2 et deux branches 3, chacune d'elles étant reliée à une monture ou directement à la façade 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon 5 et d'une articulation élastique associée 6. The glasses 1 generally designated in the figures are of the type constituted by an optical or solar façade 2 and two branches 3, each of which is connected to a frame or directly to the front 2 by means of a pin 5 and an associated elastic joint 6.
L'articulation élastique 6 est du type comprenant un axe transversal 7 disposé à l'extrémité du tenon 5, en vis-à-vis de la branche 3, et sur lequel s'articule un piston 8 assujetti à la branche 3 et coulissant librement dans celle-ci, par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de rappel élastique 9, selon une course prédéterminée vers des positions stables d'ouverture « PSO » ou de fermeture « PSF ». The elastic articulation 6 is of the type comprising a transverse axis 7 disposed at the end of the post 5, opposite the branch 3, and on which is articulated a piston 8 secured to the branch 3 and sliding freely in the latter, via an elastic return member 9, in a predetermined path to stable opening positions "PSO" or closing "PSF".
Ces positions stables sont définies par le tenon 5 présentant deux zones d'appui 10,11 sensiblement perpendiculaires entre elles, constituant avec l'extrémité 12 de la branche 3 un plan de joint à la fermeture Jl et à l'ouverture J2 de celle-ci, afin de définir deux positions stables correspondantes, respectivement « PSO », « PSF ». These stable positions are defined by the pin 5 having two bearing zones 10, 11 substantially perpendicular to each other, constituting with the end 12 of the branch 3 a joint plane at the closure J1 and the opening J2 of the latter. ci, in order to define two corresponding stable positions, respectively "PSO", "PSF".
Selon l'invention, le plan de joint J2 à l'ouverture comporte des moyens d'assistance supplémentaires, agissant au-delà d'un point d'équilibre ou de bascule 13 de la branche 3 situé entre les deux zones d'appui 10,11 définissant les positions stables « PSO », « PSF » et contribuant à renforcer la position stable en ouverture « PSO », lesdits moyens étant constitués par au moins un élément magnétique 14,15 intégré dans l'une ou l'autre des zones d'appui 11 du tenon 5 ou 12 de la branche 3 formant le plan de joint en ouverture J2, à proximité de l'axe d'articulation 7. According to the invention, the joint plane J2 at the opening comprises additional assistance means, acting beyond a point of equilibrium or latch 13 of the branch 3 located between the two bearing zones 10 , 11 defining stable positions "PSO", "PSF" and contributing to enhance the stable position in opening "PSO", said means being constituted by at least one magnetic element 14,15 integrated in one or other of the zones 11 of the stud 5 or 12 of the branch 3 forming the joint plane in opening J2, close to the hinge axis 7.
Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, les zones d'appui 11,12 constituant le plan de joint en ouverture J2 du tenon 5 avec la branche 3 présentent deux éléments magnétiques 14,15, intégrés de part et d'autre de ces zones d'appui. Bien entendu, un seul élément magnétique 14,15 pourrait être monté uniquement sur l'une des zones d'appuis 11,12, en regard d'une autre zone métallique magnétisable se trouvant en vis-à-vis, constituée par la branche 3 ou le tenon 5. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the bearing zones 11, 12 constituting the joint plane in opening J2 of the tenon 5 with the branch 3 have two magnetic elements 14, 15 integrated on either side of these zones. support. Of course, a single magnetic element 14,15 could be mounted only on one of the support zones 11,12, facing another magnetizable metal zone located opposite, constituted by the branch 3 or the post 5.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les axes « WW » et « XX' » de l'articulation transversale 7 du tenon 5 et du piston 8 de la branche 3 qui y est assujettie, par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de rappel élastique 9, sont disposées asymétriquement par rapport aux axes longitudinaux symétriques théoriques « ZZ' » et « YY' » respectivement du tenon 5 et de la branche 3, de manière à être décalés vers l'intérieur de la branche 3, et conséquemment du tenon 5, pour autoriser d'une part la mise en place matérielle de l'élément magnétique 14,15 dans le plan de joint J2 vers l'extérieur, et obtenir d'autre part une zone de stabilité formée par le plan de joint Jl, de surface réduite, en position de fermeture « PSF » de la branche 3. According to another characteristic of the invention, the "WW" and "XX '" axes of the transverse articulation 7 of the tenon 5 and the piston 8 of the branch 3 which is secured thereto, via the organ of elastic return 9, are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the theoretical symmetrical longitudinal axes "ZZ" and "YY" respectively of the post 5 and the branch 3, so as to be shifted towards the inside of the branch 3, and consequently the tenon 5, to allow on the one hand the physical placement of the magnetic element 14,15 in the joint plane J2 to the outside, and on the other hand to obtain a stability zone formed by the joint plane Jl , of reduced surface, in the closed position "PSF" of the branch 3.
Une telle conception a été élaborée afin que la force de rappel de l'organe élastique 9 soit suffisante pour appeler la branche 3 en ouverture, après que l'utilisateur ait exercé une pression manuelle « Fl » sur celle-ci, pour lui impliquer une surcourse en fermeture selon un angle al (voir figure 2), ayant pour effet de surcomprimer l'organe élastique 9, puis en relâchant ladite pression « Fl », ce qui aura pour effet de libérer ledit organe élastique 9 surcomprimé, provoquant ainsi non seulement l'ouverture de la branche 3 par la force « F2 » (voir figure 3) , mais également le franchissement aisé du point d'équilibre ou de bascule 13 (voir figure 4), du fait de la zone de stabilité « Jl », de surface réduite, en position de fermeture de la branche, et de la surcompression « F3 » libérée de l'organe élastique 9. Such a design has been developed so that the restoring force of the elastic member 9 is sufficient to call the branch 3 in opening, after the user has exerted a manual pressure "Fl" on it, to involve him a overtravel closure at an angle α1 (see Figure 2), having the effect of overcompressing the elastic member 9, then releasing said pressure "Fl", which will have the effect of releasing said supercharged elastic member 9, thereby causing not only the opening of the branch 3 by the force "F2" (see Figure 3), but also the easy crossing of the point of equilibrium or flip-flop 13 (see Figure 4), because of the stability zone "Jl", of reduced surface, in closing position of the branch, and the "F3" overcompression released from the elastic member 9.
L'ouverture s'effectue donc automatiquement et elle est également facilitée par la présence des éléments magnétiques 14,15 qui exercent réciproquement leur pouvoir d'attraction. The opening is therefore automatic and it is also facilitated by the presence of magnetic elements 14,15 which exert reciprocally their power of attraction.
La branche 3 est alors stabilisée en ouverture (voir figure 5) . The branch 3 is then stabilized in opening (see Figure 5).
Comme déjà évoqué, en cas de surcourse selon un angle 2 (voir figure 6) de la branche 3 en ouverture, provoquée par une force occasionnelle « F4 », les éléments magnétiques 14,15 ont pour rôle de ramener, selon la force « F5 », la branche 3 dans sa position d'ouverture fixe selon l'angle a (voir figure 7) . As already mentioned, in the case of overtravel at an angle 2 (see FIG. 6) of the opening branch 3, caused by an occasional force "F4", the magnetic elements 14, 15 have the role of reducing, according to the force "F5 », The branch 3 in its fixed opening position according to the angle a (see Figure 7).
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le point d'équilibre ou de bascule 13 de la branche 3, situé entre les deux zones d'appui 10,11 définissant les positions stables « PSO », « PSF », est arrondi de manière à faciliter son passage. According to another characteristic of the invention, the point of equilibrium or flip-flop 13 of the branch 3, situated between the two bearing zones 10, 11 defining the stable positions "PSO", "PSF", is rounded in such a way as to to facilitate its passage.
De cette manière, l'inertie délivrée par l'organe élastique 9 à l'ouverture et l'attraction des éléments magnétiques 14,15 peuvent se développer plus librement et donc plus efficacement. La présence des éléments magnétiques 14,15 permet donc d' obtenir une ouverture automatique des branches 3, mais cela sans risque de refermeture de celles-ci, du fait de l'effet bistable de l'articulation 6, qui vient d'être décrite. In this way, the inertia delivered by the elastic member 9 to the opening and attraction of the magnetic elements 14,15 can develop more freely and therefore more effectively. The presence of the magnetic elements 14,15 thus makes it possible to obtain an automatic opening of the branches 3, but this without any risk of reclosing thereof, because of the bistable effect of the articulation 6, which has just been described. .
A noter également que l'organe élastique pourra être constitué par un ressort en compression ou par tout autre organe en élastomère ou fil élastique en extension ou par un assemblage d'éléments magnétiques. Note also that the elastic member may be constituted by a compression spring or any other elastomeric member or elastic wire extension or by an assembly of magnetic elements.
