Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of surface treatment and more particularly that of the protection and masking of elements during the application of a surface treatment.
  • a surface treatment When applying a surface treatment to a workpiece such as sanding, painting or metallizing, there are generally parts of the workpiece that are desirable to preserve from processing . They may be threaded or threaded elements, machined surfaces such as piston rods, or parts of the part having received or to receive a surface treatment different from that which is applied. Conventionally such parts of the room are protected by covers made of cardboard plates held with high performance adhesive tape on the portion to be protected, or flexible lead plates for operations such as sanding or metallization.
  • An object of the invention is to reduce the risk of degradation of the workpiece during such operations.
  • a protective device of a part of the part to be protected comprising a separable body in at least two sub-elements, each sub-element comprising a cavity intended to accommodate at least partially the part part. to protect.
  • the device comprises means for holding the relative sub-elements in position relative to each other and at least one of the sub-elements comprises a portion of its cavity which is provided with a surface which opposes the relative sliding of the protection device and of the part of the room to be protected.
  • the device provides a protection whose installation and removal are facilitated by the separable character thereof. Maintaining the protection device on the workpiece with a surface opposing the relative sliding of the device and the part of the part to be protected eliminates the use of cutting tools and the risk of damage to the workpiece resulting in it.
  • the separable body of the device is of cylindrical shape and the means for holding the sub-elements relative to one another in relation to each other comprise at least one magnetic element.
  • At least one of the magnetic elements is a permanent magnet carried by one of the sub-elements. separable body, this permanent magnet is arranged to cooperate with another magnetic element which is carried by another sub-elements to maintain in position these two sub-elements relative to each other.
  • the surface opposing the relative sliding of the device and the part to be protected comprises a material having a dry adhesion factor on steel which is greater than 0.6, this material preferably being rubber.
  • the separable body is covered with silica at its outer periphery, which facilitates cleaning in order to prolong its reuse.
  • the separable body is a right circular cylindrical sleeve separable into a first and a second half sleeve in a plane passing through a longitudinal axis of the sleeve and which defines joining surfaces of the first and second half sleeves, these joining surfaces. are of complementary shape to each other so as to limit the passage of material between the inside and outside of the sleeve when these half sleeves are joined.
  • the junction surfaces of the first half-sleeve comprises at least one element exerting a magnetic attraction on a corresponding element of the second half-sleeve.
  • the step of performing the surface treatment operation on the part it implements a step of removing the protection device.
  • the surface treatment operation is an operation consisting in producing a coating on a surface of the part which is at least partially delimited at its periphery by the protection device.
  • the coating is a paint or a metal deposit.
  • the protection device and the part are shaped so that when the protective device is set up around the part of the part, then the part has a surface portion protected in a watertight manner by the protective device.
  • watertightness it is meant that the watertight protected surface must be able to be immersed with the protective device put in place under at least 1 meter of water at 20 ° C without the surface thus protected is not wet.
  • This seal is achieved via a seal placed around the surfaces opposing sliding and / or via a close contact of these surfaces opposing sliding against the protected surface.
  • This sealing is favored by the use of the means for holding in position relative sub-elements relatively to each other which are preferably arranged to force the support of said seals and / or said surfaces opposing sliding against the workpiece.
  • the protective device generally designated 1
  • This comprises a concentric longitudinal cylindrical cavity 3 of the right circular cylindrical shape and an outer covering in silica.
  • the silica makes it possible to limit the paint catch on the sleeve and thus makes it easier to clean the sleeve.
  • the sleeve 2 is separable into two sub-elements in the form of a first half-sleeve 4 and a second half-sleeve 5 along a plane P passing through the longitudinal axis X.
  • the plane P then defines rectangular surfaces.
  • junction 4.1 and 4.2 of the first half sleeve 4 cooperating with corresponding junction surfaces 5.1 and 5.2 of the second half sleeve 5.
  • the joining surfaces 4.1 and 4.2 extend parallel to the longitudinal axis X on either side of a first portion 6 of the cavity 3 corresponding to the cavity of the part 23 of the part 20 to be protected in each half sleeves 4, 5.
  • the half sleeve 5 comprises a second cavity portion 7 bordered by the junction surfaces 5.1 and 5.2.
  • the junction surfaces 4.1 and 4.2 respectively comprise two parallelepiped inserts, 4.11, 4.12, 4.21 and 4.22 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis X and made of magnetic material, here a neodymium alloy forming a permanent magnet.
  • the half sleeve 5 comprises metal inserts 5.11, 5.12, 5.21 and 5.22 intended to cooperate with the inserts 4.11, 4.12, 4.21 and 4.22 of the half sleeve 4.
  • some of the inserts forming magnets and some of the metal inserts attached to the half sleeves 4, 5 are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the sleeve 2 so as to prevent spacing of the half sleeves 4, 5 relative to each other at the longitudinal ends of the sleeve 2.
  • these inserts forming magnets and / or some of the metal inserts may be covered with a thin film to limit the risk of degradation of these inserts (eg risk of oxidation) and to limit the risk of damaging the protected part by contact with these inserts.
  • the implementation of the protection device 1 is now described with reference to Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d in application to the surface treatment of a workpiece, here a landing gear rod 20 for aircraft.
  • the landing gear rod 20 is made of metal and comprises a first portion 21 to receive a surface treatment - here a metallization - separated by a boundary 22 of a second part 23 to be protected because it must not receive metallization ( figure 4a ).
  • the operator sets up the half sleeve 4 and 5 on the second part 23 so as to cooperate the first and second portions 6 and 7 of the cavity 3 with the part 23 to be protected from the metallization ( figure 4c ).
  • the protective device 1 partially covers the landing gear rod 20, part of which extends outside the protective device 1.
  • the parallelepiped inserts 4.11, 4.12, 4.21 and 4.22 then face the metal inserts 5.11, 5.12 , 5.21 and 5.22 and the magnetic attraction keeps the half sleeves 4 and 5 in contact.
  • This magnetic attraction also presses the surfaces 30, 31 forming the cavities 6 and 7 against the second portion 23 of the landing gear rod 20, which has the effect of preventing relative sliding of the half sleeves 4 and 5 with respect to the landing gear rod 20 due to the particular coefficient of friction between the metal of the landing gear rod 20.
  • the cavity-forming surfaces are provided with a material having a dry adhesion factor on the upper steel at 0.6. This material is rubber forming the half-sleeves 4 and 5. In this configuration, one end of the sleeve 3 coincides with the border 22.
  • the sleeve is shaped so that when it is positioned on the part, it then prevents the fluid penetration against the protected surface of the part 20.
  • the metallization operation is performed by dipping the assembly sleeve and piece in a metallization bath and the first portion 21 of the rod 20 then receives the metallization treatment.
  • the portion 23 protected by the sleeve remains free of metallization.
  • the two half sleeves 4 and 5 are deposited.
  • the cavity portions 106 and 107 of the half sleeves 104 and 105 comprise longitudinal inserts 30 and 31 of an adherent elastomeric material such as rubber.
  • these inserts are opposed to the relative sliding of the sleeves and the portion of the part to be protected.
