Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of telescopic rods.
  • Such a device will find a particular application in the field of rods for supporting a curtain, clothing, a decorative object or a lamp.
  • the telescopic rod can be used horizontally or vertically.
  • the telescopic rod is used as curtain rod, it is necessary to be able to adjust exactly the length of the rod in accordance with the length of the window that is decorated by a curtain.
  • the document EP 2 272 404 discloses a spring device comprising an inner tube slidable in an outer tube.
  • the connection between the two tubes is made by means of a spring present inside the two tubes.
  • One end of the spring is attached to the outer tube, while the other end is free.
  • the inner tube is provided at its end free of an elongated room whose seat is spiral. This elongated piece allows the introduction of the free end of the spring to drive it inside the inner tube.
  • the outer diameter of the spring is smaller than the diameter of the inner tube, so that by screwing it is possible to introduce the spring in the elongate piece. During maximum screwing, the free end of the spring abuts against the end of the inner tube opposite the free end comprising the elongate piece.
  • the elongate piece adjusts the length between the two tubes.
  • this configuration is complex and requires a spring which is of specific diameter to enter both the elongate piece and the inner tube.
  • the handling of the elongate piece is specific to the diameter of the inner tube and the spring.
  • This length adjustment system separating the telescopic tubes is specific to a single dimension of elongate piece and corresponding spring, the setting is not universal and is not suitable for any type of diameter of the tube or spring.
  • the document FR 463745 discloses a telescopic rod of adjustable length having a tubular section a external in which slides a tubular section 1 internal. Said rod also comprises a spring b, inside the outer tubular section a, which cooperates in support by one of its ends with said tubular section internally. The rod also comprises a pin c secured to the tubular section al intern, said pin c to perform the spring support with said tubular section a1 internal. Nevertheless, the invention of this document is complex and does not allow precise adjustment of the length of the bead wire. It is necessary to find an alternative solution to that proposed in the prior art which is simple in design and allows adjustment of the length of the telescopic rod easy and accurate.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to create a rod telescopic length adjustable to the millimeter and simplified design.
  • the invention allows by its particular design to achieve a precise adjustment and universal adaptation of the length of the rod.
  • the present invention relates to a telescopic rod 1 of adjustable length.
  • Said telescopic rod 1 can be used horizontally or vertically.
  • It can be used horizontally to support a curtain, decorative objects or clothing. It can be used vertically to support a lamp or clothes.
  • said rod 1 comprises an outer tube 2 and an inner tube 3, one of which can slide in the other.
  • said inner tube 3 slides in said outer tube 2.
  • said inner tube 3 has two ends, one free end 32 of which can engage in said outer tube 2.
  • said outer tube 2 has two ends, one free end 22 for accommodating the free end 32 during the engagement of the inner tube 3 in the outer tube 2, and an end 23 for fixing and immobilizing one of the ends of a spring 4.
  • said rod 1 also comprises a spring 4 with helical turns, positioned at least inside the outer tube 2.
  • said spring 4 can be housed and positioned in both the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3.
  • one of the ends 43 of the spring 4 is immobilized in the outer tube 2.
  • At least one of the turns of the end 43 of the spring 4 is immobilized in the outer tube 2 by means of locking means 5.
  • the blocking means 5 consists of an expansion blocking system.
  • Said expansion blocking system may be an expansion blocking element 51 or a conical expansion ring 52.
  • the spring 4 is immobilized by means of an expansion locking element 51 having a protrusion 511 coupled to a pin 512.
  • Said pin 512 serves to immobilize one of the turns of the end 43 of the spring 4 within said external tube 2.
  • Said spring 4 is of smaller diameter than the outer tube 2, and of greater diameter than the inner tube 3, so that the spring 4 can not penetrate inside the inner tube 3.
  • the spring 4 is connected by its immobilized end 43 to the inside of the outer tube 2 and by its other end 42 to the outside of the inner tube 3.
  • the spring 4 is immobilized by means of an expansion conical clamping ring 52 belonging to the outer tube 2.
  • the clamping ring 52 has an internal thread and complementary to the turns of the spring 4. The presence of this tapping will allow to immobilize the turns of the end 43 of the spring 4.
  • the number of turns spring 4 which can be immobilized in the conical clamping ring 52 depends on the clamping position of the spring 4 within the outer tube 2.
  • the immobilization of the end 43 of the spring 4 within the outer tube 2 is done by fixing at least the last turn of said end 43 of the spring 4 on the bottom wall 21 of the outer tube 2.
  • the fixing is carried out by any known means, for example by riveting the last turn of the spring 4 on the wall of the bottom 21.
  • the bottom wall 21 of the outer tube 2 is a movable wall 21 bis, by example in the form of flexible sheet, as illustrated on the figure 4 .
  • the end 42 of the spring 4 which is opposite the immobilized end 43 in the outer tube 2 is an end 42 cooperating in abutment with the inner tube 3.
  • the end 42 of the spring 4 cooperates in abutment with the free end 32 of the inner tube 3.
  • the support is carried out using at least one pin 6 secured to the inner tube 3.
  • said pin 6 makes it possible to define both the end 42 and the end 43 of the spring 4. Indeed, the end 43 of the spring 4 is delimited by the immobilized turn 413 closest to the wall 21 of the bottom. the outer tube 2 and the immobilized turn 412 cooperating with the outer tube 2 which is closest to said pin 6.
  • said pin 6 is connected transversely to said inner tube 3.
  • the free end 32 of the inner tube 3 which cooperates with said spring 4 has a protrusion 31, said protrusion 31 being traversed transversely by said pin 6.
  • the end 42 of the spring 4 in support with the inner tube 3 abuts against the free end 32 of said inner tube 3.
  • the free end 32 of the inner tube 3 which cooperates with said spring 4 is in the form of a hollow tube internalising transversely said pin 6.
  • said inner tube 3 internalizes both a part of the end 42 of the spring 4 cooperating with said inner tube 3 and also internalizes said pin 6.
  • said pin 6 is housed transversely at the level of the free end 32 of the inner tube 3.
  • said pin 6 has a length substantially equal to the diameter of the inner tube 3, so as to be internally fixed in said inner tube 3 occupying its entire diameter.
  • the end 42 of the spring 4 is integrally fixed to a member 7.
  • Said member 7 is positioned within the inner tube 3 and has a smaller diameter to said inner tube 3. In this configuration, said member 7 can not leave the tube internal 3 because it is blocked by said pin 6, in this way said spring 4 always allows to connect the inner tube 3 with the outer tube 2, the two tubes 3,4 can not be separated from each other.
  • said inner tube 3 bears on its free end 32 an element 8.
  • the latter is of diameter less than the inner tube 3 allowing its integration into said tube 3.
  • Said element 8 comprises two openings that face each other allowing the transverse positioning of the pin 6.
  • the pin 6 is positioned at the inside the inner tube 3 and cooperates transversely with said element 8 so as to maintain the turns of the spring 4 and allow their screwing or unscrewing.
  • said spring 4 comprises at least one active portion 41 of distance D. Said active portion 41 connecting the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 2.
  • the distance D of said active portion 41 of the spring 4 is defined by the turn 411 traversed by said pin 6, and by the immobilized turn 412 cooperating with the outer tube 2 which is closest to said pin 6.
  • the set of turns of the spring 4 between the turn 411 and the turn 412 represents the active portion 41 of the spring 4.
  • This active portion 41 having a distance D adjustable and adjustable.
  • the distance D depends on the number of turns contained in the active portion 41 and the elasticity of the spring 4.
  • the screwing or unscrewing of said spring 4 around said pin 6 will allow to vary the distance D, that is to say the number of turns forming the active portion 41 of the spring 4.
  • said pin 6 transversely crosses said protrusion 31 present at the free end 32 of the inner tube 3.
  • the screwing or unscrewing of said spring 4 around said pin 6 is possible because said protuberance 31 of the invention is of diameter substantially smaller than the diameter of the spring 4 so as to engage or disengage with said spring 4.
  • said pin 6 is housed transversely at the free end 32 of the inner tube 3 and has a length substantially equal to the diameter of said inner tube 3.
  • the system of the invention has the additional advantage of being easy to manufacture and to be adaptable to several dimensions.
