Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of manual applicators, and more particularly to manual desktop applicators for applying a film to a substrate such as a sheet of paper.
  • This film can be, for example, an opaque corrective film, a colored translucent film, an adhesive film, etc.
  • manual applicators of this type include a housing and an application tip protruding beyond a front opening of the housing.
  • Japanese patent application specifications JP H09 300 886 A and JP H11 170775 each disclosed an applicator comprising a housing, an application tip projecting beyond a front opening of the housing, and a C-shaped handle capable of pivoting between two different positions to allow two different grips.
  • the versatility of this applicator remains limited, especially when it comes to adapting to the different grips of right-handed and left-handed people.
  • the present disclosure aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • it aims to provide a manual applicator that can be easily adapted to different ways of taking it for its use, and this while keeping a limited size and complexity.
  • this object is achieved thanks to the fact that the box has, in a first section plane and at least one second section plane different from the first section plane and not parallel to the first section plane, a same external contour capable of being housed by pressure in an internal contour of the handle, thus allowing the fixing of the handle on said housing in a first orientation and alternatively in at least a second orientation different from the first orientation, the handle being oriented in the first cutting plane in the first orientation and in the second cutting plane in the second orientation, and said first and second cutting planes being substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the housing.
  • each user right-handed or left-handed, can easily fix this handle in the orientation best suited to his way of handling the manual applicator, so as to adapt the grip angle around this longitudinal axis.
  • said outer contour of the case may be substantially symmetrical, thus making it possible to fit the case into the handle in at least two opposite orientations.
  • the second section plane can be substantially perpendicular to the first section plane, although other angles can also be considered.
  • the application tip has a substantially straight front edge.
  • substantially straight is meant in this context an edge not diverging from a straight line over its entire width more than, for example, 10% of this width.
  • At least one of said cutting planes is substantially parallel to said front edge of the application tip.
  • the C-shaped handle comprises two longitudinal legs and a transverse connecting segment connecting proximal ends of said longitudinal legs.
  • the applicator can include at least one protuberance on one of the handle and the case and a concavity on the other of the handle and the case to snap the handle onto the case.
  • the latter may include a honeycomb part interposed between said internal contour and an external contour of the handle intended to offer a grip to a user.
  • the handle may be able to be used. releasably fixed on said housing.
  • the handle can comprise a first more rigid material and a second more flexible material, said first and second materials of the handle being able in particular to be coinjected.
  • the greater rigidity of the first material allows the elastic deformation of the inner contour to exert sufficient pressure on the outer contour of the case to ensure its good fixation, while the greater flexibility of the outer contour offers a pleasant touch to the user.
  • This first more rigid material can in particular form a core of the handle and / or be a metallic material.
  • the material to be transferred to the substrate can in particular be in the form of a film.
  • the applicator can comprise, inside the case, a spool for feeding a tape carrying the film to be transferred onto said substrate and a spool for collecting the carrier tape.
  • the film can in particular be a corrective film.
  • other types of film can be used, such as, for example, adhesive films or colored translucent films.
  • the figure 1 illustrates the interior of the housing 3 of a manual applicator configured to allow the transfer of a film from a carrier tape 11 to a substrate.
  • this applicator comprises, inside the housing 3, a supply reel 4 and a recovery reel 5 of the carrier tape.
  • the applicator also comprises an application tip 6 projecting from a front opening 7 of the housing 3.
  • the supply reel 4 is able to rotate about a first axis of rotation X 1 to unwind the carrier tape.
  • the carrier tape 11 is recovered by the recovery reel 5, capable of rotating about a second axis of rotation X 2 , substantially parallel but offset with respect to the first axis of rotation X 1 .
  • the carrier tape is guided in front of a front edge 6a of the application nozzle 6.
  • a substrate such as that for example a sheet of paper
  • the friction of the external face of the carrier tape against the substrate exerts a traction on the carrier tape between the end piece 6 and the supply reel 4 causing the progressive unwinding of the carrier tape wound around the supply reel 4.
  • the applicator also comprises a belt 2 for transmitting the rotation of the supply spool 4 to the recovery reel 5 and in this way preserve a tension of the carrier tape between the end piece 6 and the recovery reel.
  • other transmission means such as for example gears, can be considered for the same role.
  • the figure 2 illustrates a handle 8 intended to be releasably fixed on the housing 3. More specifically, the handle 8, in the form of a C with two longitudinal tabs 8e, 8f, the proximal ends of which are connected by a transverse connecting segment 8g, has a inner contour 9 in which the box 3 can be lodged under pressure.
  • the inner contour 9 is formed in an inner part 8a of the handle of relatively rigid material, surrounded by an outer part 8d of relatively flexible material and having a gripping surface 8c intended to facilitate gripping of the handle. handle 8 by the user.
  • “relatively rigid material” and “relatively flexible material” is meant that the first has a modulus of elasticity which is substantially higher than the second.
  • these two different materials can in particular be thermoplastics, thus allowing the production of the handle by injection-molding, and in particular by coinjection of the two materials.
  • other materials and production methods can also be considered.
  • the inner contour 9 of the handle 8 is substantially symmetrical.
  • substantially symmetrical is meant, in the present context, that this contour is as symmetrical as the manufacturing technologies used can allow at a reasonable cost.
  • the outer contour of the gripping surface 8c is asymmetrical so as to offer a particularly ergonomic grip.
  • the box 3 has, in a longitudinal plane perpendicular to the front edge 6a of the application nozzle 6, an outer contour 10, complementary to the inner contour 9 of the handle 8 and also substantially symmetrical.
  • the box 3 can come to be lodged by pressure inside the handle 8 oriented in this first plane.
  • the housing 3 has substantially the same outer contour 10 also in a longitudinal plane aligned with the front edge 6a of the end piece application 6.
  • the box 3 can therefore also come to be lodged by pressure inside the handle 8 in this second plane, perpendicular to the first.
  • the handle 8 can be fixed with two opposite alternate orientations, to adapt the application tip 6 to right-handed or left-handed users.
  • the handle 8 has protrusions 12,13 on, respectively, the distal ends of the longitudinal tabs 8e, 8f and the transverse connecting segment 8g.
  • These protuberances 12,13 are oriented towards the inside of the handle 8 and configured so as to cooperate with complementary concavities 14,15 on the outside of the case 3 to stabilize the handle 8 on the case 3 by snap-fastening.
  • at least one of the protuberances could be located on the housing and the handle have a complementary concavity.
  • the applicator 1 with the handle 8 oriented in a longitudinal plane perpendicular to the front edge 6a of the application nozzle 6.
  • the handle 8 is also oriented in a longitudinal plane perpendicular to the front edge 6a of the applicator nozzle, but with an orientation opposite to that of the figure 4A .
  • the handle 8 is oriented in a longitudinal plane aligned with the front edge 6a of the application nozzle 6.
  • the handle 8 is also oriented in a longitudinal plane aligned with the front edge 6a of the applicator tip, but with an orientation opposite to that of the figure 4C .
  • the figure 5 illustrates the case 3 of an applicator 1 according to a second embodiment. Although different in detail, this case 3 is substantially similar to that of the first embodiment and the equivalent elements receive the same reference numerals in the drawings.
  • the inner part 8a of the handle 8, illustrated on figure 6 has a core 8a 'made of relatively rigid material, on which is molded a relatively flexible material also forming a cellular part 8b and the outer part 8d having the gripping surface 8c.
  • this core 8a ' can be formed by at least one blade or metal cable, folded in the shape of a C with two tabs extending into the longitudinal tabs 8e, 8f of the handle 8.
  • others materials, such as polymers or composites can also be considered for this core 8a '.
  • the relatively flexible material overmolded on this core can in particular be a thermoplastic, thus allowing the production of the handle by injection molding.
  • at least one of the protuberances could be located on the case and the handle have a complementary concavity.
  • the figures 7A and 7B illustrate how the box 3 according to this second embodiment also has substantially the same outer contour in a first longitudinal section plane and in a second longitudinal section plane perpendicular to the first.
  • FIGS. 8A to 8D illustrate, similarly to figures 4A to 4D , how the handle 8 of this second embodiment can therefore also be releasably fixed in the same orientations as in the first embodiment.
