Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des couteaux spécialement utilisés par un opérateur pour la découpe et la pose d'un revêtement de sol souple, tels que par exemple les revêtements de sol souple à base de polychlorure de vinyle, les linoléums, les moquettes, les tapis, les gazons synthétiques, etc. De tels couteaux sont également connus sous le nom de porte-lame.The present invention relates to the technical field of knives specially used by an operator for the cutting and laying of a flexible floor covering, such as, for example, flexible polyvinyl chloride floor coverings, linoleums, carpets, carpets, synthetic turfs, etc. Such knives are also known as blade holders.
Ces couteaux permettent la réalisation de découpes et de finitions, par exemple, pour préparer des remontées en plinthe du revêtement de sol.These knives allow the realization of cuts and finishes, for example, to prepare lifts skirting of the flooring.
Il est connu de l'état de la technique les documents
D'une manière générale, le couteau comprend un manche constitué de deux demi-coques reliées entre elles de manière pivotante, et maintenues l'une contre l'autre par une vis moletée. Le manche comprend une première partie de préhension par un utilisateur, s'étendant longitudinalement selon un premier axe, et une deuxième partie support d'une lame, s'étendant longitudinalement selon un deuxième axe définissant un angle, par exemple compris entre 5° et 10° par rapport au premier axe. La lame, par exemple droite ou croche, est maintenue en position fixe et en débordement à une extrémité du manche, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un pion de positionnement. Une zone de stockage de lames de rechange est généralement prévue entre les deux demi-coques.In general, the knife comprises a handle consisting of two half-shells interconnected pivotally and held against each other by a knurled screw. The handle comprises a first grip portion by a user, extending longitudinally along a first axis, and a second support portion of a blade, extending longitudinally along a second axis defining an angle, for example between 5 ° and 10 ° with respect to the first axis. The blade, for example straight or eighth, is held in fixed position and overflow at one end of the handle, for example by means of at least one positioning pin. A spare blade storage area is generally provided between the two half-shells.
Cependant, la prise en main de ce type de couteau peut être améliorée. En effet, dans le couteau de l'état de la technique, la vis moletée de serrage déborde latéralement ou sur le dessus du couteau ce qui gêne la prise en main. Par « dessus du couteau » on entend la face qui est opposée au tranchant de la lame.However, the grip of this type of knife can be improved. Indeed, in the knife of the state of the art, the knurled clamping screw protrudes laterally or on top of the knife which hinders the grip. By "top of the knife" is meant the face that is opposite to the cutting edge of the blade.

Le couteau du document
L'un des buts de l'invention est donc de proposer un couteau dont l'ergonomie est optimale et permettant une bonne prise en main par un utilisateur lors d'opérations de découpes et de poses du revêtement de sol.One of the aims of the invention is therefore to provide a knife whose ergonomics are optimal and allowing a good grip by a user during cutting operations and poses of the flooring.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un couteau qui permet d'assurer un serrage efficace des moyens de support de lame.Another object of the invention is to provide a knife which ensures effective clamping of the blade support means.
A cet effet, il a été mis au point un couteau pour la découpe et la pose d'un revêtement de sol souple, conforme à celui de l'état de la technique en ce qu'il comprend un manche constitué de première et deuxième demi-coques reliées entre elles de manière pivotante, et maintenues l'une contre l'autre par des moyens de verrouillage pour enserrer et maintenir une lame fixe en débordement à l'une des extrémités du manche.For this purpose, it has been developed a knife for cutting and laying a flexible floor covering, according to that of the state of the art in that it comprises a handle consisting of first and second half -coques interconnected pivotally, and held against each other by locking means for gripping and maintain a fixed blade overflow at one end of the handle.
Pour résoudre les problèmes précités, et conformément à l'invention, les moyens de verrouillage sont agencés entre les deux demi-coques et sont accessibles et actionnables par une face de dessous du manche située du côté du tranchant de la lame.To solve the aforementioned problems, and in accordance with the invention, the locking means are arranged between the two half-shells and are accessible and actuatable by a bottom face of the handle located on the cutting edge side of the blade.
De cette manière, l'utilisateur peut librement appliquer une force nécessaire à la découpe avec la paume de sa main, sans être gêné par les moyens de verrouillage.In this way, the user can freely apply a force necessary for cutting with the palm of his hand, without being obstructed by the locking means.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le manche comprend une partie de préhension s'étendant longitudinalement selon un premier axe, et prolongée par une partie support de la lame s'étendant selon un deuxième axe incliné, de préférence d'un angle compris entre 10° et 35°, et notamment compris entre 15° et 30° par rapport au premier axe.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the handle comprises a gripping portion extending longitudinally along a first axis, and extended by a support portion of the blade extending along a second inclined axis, preferably an angle included between 10 ° and 35 °, and in particular between 15 ° and 30 ° relative to the first axis.
L'inclinaison entre l'axe de la partie de préhension et l'axe de la partie support de lame permet une meilleure prise en main par l'utilisateur, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit de découper avec des lames croches. L'utilisateur guide plus facilement la portion la plus coupante de la lame, qui se situe au point central de l'arc formé par la lame croche, le long et au contact de la tranche du revêtement de sol lors de la découpe. L'ergonomie est optimale. Il en résulte que l'utilisateur ressent moins de fatigue qu'avec le couteau de l'état de la technique après des découpes répétées.The inclination between the axis of the gripping portion and the axis of the blade support portion allows a better grip by the user, especially when it comes to cutting with eighths leafs. The user guides more easily the sharpest portion of the blade, which is at the central point of the arc formed by the crooked blade, along and in contact with the edge of the flooring during cutting. Ergonomics is optimal. As a result, the user feels less fatigue than with the knife of the state of the art after repeated cuts.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le couteau comprend une partie arrière prolongeant la partie de préhension à l'opposé de la partie support, et s'étendant longitudinalement selon un troisième axe incliné d'un angle compris entre 5 et 30° par rapport au premier axe.According to another characteristic of the invention, the knife comprises a rear portion extending the gripping portion opposite the support portion, and extending longitudinally along a third axis inclined at an angle between 5 and 30 ° by compared to the first axis.
L'inclinaison entre l'axe de la partie de préhension et l'axe de la partie arrière permet à l'utilisateur de pouvoir utiliser la partie arrière du couteau, qui est de préférence biseautée, pour plier ou rainer le revêtement de sol lors de la pose, au niveau d'une partie d'angle ou d'une interface sol/mur, tout en ayant une bonne prise en main du manche. L'ergonomie est optimale.The inclination between the axis of the gripping portion and the axis of the rear portion allows the user to be able to use the rear portion of the knife, which is preferably bevelled, to bend or groove the flooring when laying, at a corner portion or a floor / wall interface, while having a good grip of the handle. Ergonomics is optimal.

En référence aux
Le couteau (1) permet à un utilisateur de réaliser des découpes et des finitions, par exemple pour la préparation des remontées en plinthe du revêtement de sol.The knife (1) allows a user to make cuts and finishes, for example for the preparation of skirting lifts of the flooring.
Le couteau (1) comprend un manche (2) constitué d'une partie de préhension (2a) prolongée, d'une part, par une partie support (2b) d'une lame (3) fixe et, d'autre part, par une partie arrière (2c).The knife (1) comprises a handle (2) consisting of a gripping portion (2a) extended on the one hand by a support portion (2b) of a fixed blade (3) and, on the other hand, by a rear part (2c).
En référence à la
Pour permettre à l'utilisateur d'effectuer des opérations de pliage ou rainage du revêtement de sol lors de la pose, au niveau d'une partie d'angle ou d'une interface sol/mur, tout en ayant une bonne prise en main du manche (2), la partie arrière (2c), de préférence biseautée, s'étend longitudinalement selon un troisième axe (6) incliné d'un angle compris entre 5 et 30° par rapport au premier axe (4) longitudinal de la partie de préhension (2a). Les premier axe (4), deuxième axe (5) et troisième axe (6) sont préférentiellement situés dans le même plan.To allow the user to perform folding operations or creasing of the flooring during installation, at a corner portion or a floor / wall interface, while having a good grip of the handle (2), the rear portion (2c), preferably bevelled, extends longitudinally along a third axis (6) inclined at an angle of between 5 and 30 ° relative to the first axis (4) longitudinal of the gripping portion (2a). The first axis (4), second axis (5) and third axis (6) are preferably located in the same plane.
La lame (3) est fixée au niveau de la partie support (2b) de lame (3) et en débordement du manche (2). La lame (3), qui peut être croche ou droite, est fixée de toute manière appropriée et bien connue de l'état de la technique, par exemple par des pions de positionnement.The blade (3) is fixed at the blade support portion (2b) (3) and overflow of the handle (2). The blade (3), which may be square or straight, is fixed in any appropriate manner and well known in the state of the art, for example by positioning pins.
En référence à la
Les première et deuxième demi-coques (7, 8) sont maintenues l'une contre l'autre par des moyens de verrouillage (10), par exemple du type à molette ou à levier. Les moyens de verrouillage (10) sont agencés entre les deux demi-coques (7, 8) et sont accessibles et actionnables par une face de dessous du manche (2), et de préférence actionnables en direction de la partie arrière (2c) du manche (2). En d'autres termes, les moyens de verrouillage (10) sont situés sur la face de dessous du couteau (1) et ne gênent pas la prise en main par l'utilisateur. Par « face de dessous », on entend la face du couteau (1) située du côté du tranchant de la lame (3). De plus, les moyens de verrouillage (10) sont actionnables en direction de la partie arrière (2c) du couteau (1), ce qui signifie qu'ils sont actionnables selon une direction identique à la direction d'utilisation du couteau (1). Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur tire le couteau (1) en arrière pour réaliser une opération de découpe, il force le maintien des moyens de verrouillage (10) en position verrouillée. Tout déverrouillage accidentel est évité. Par exemple, dans une forme de réalisation non représentée, les moyens de verrouillage comprennent une molette coopérant avec un pas de vis. Selon l'invention, le pas de vis correspondant est orienté pour qu'une rotation de la molette en direction de la partie arrière (2c) du couteau (1) permette le verrouillage des deux demi-coques (7, 8).The first and second half-shells (7, 8) are held against each other by locking means (10), for example of the wheel or lever type. The locking means (10) are arranged between the two half-shells (7, 8) and are accessible and operable by a bottom face of the handle (2), and preferably operable in the direction of the rear portion (2c) of the sleeve (2). In other words, the locking means (10) are located on the underside of the knife (1) and do not interfere with the grip by the user. By "underside" means the face of the knife (1) located on the cutting edge side of the blade (3). In addition, the locking means (10) are operable in the direction of the rear portion (2c) of the knife (1), which means that they can be actuated in a direction identical to the direction of use of the knife (1). . Thus, when the user pulls the knife (1) back to perform a cutting operation, it forces the locking means (10) in the locked position. Any accidental unlocking is avoided. For example, in one embodiment shown, the locking means comprise a wheel cooperating with a thread. According to the invention, the corresponding thread is oriented so that a rotation of the wheel in the direction of the rear portion (2c) of the knife (1) allows the locking of the two half-shells (7, 8).
En référence aux
De préférence, la languette de retenue (11) présente une portion inclinée (11a) en regard de la première demi-coque (7) de sorte à ramener progressivement les demi-coques (7, 8) l'une contre l'autre au fur et à mesure du basculement du levier (12) en position de verrouillage. Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur tire le couteau (1) en arrière pour réaliser une opération de découpe, il augmente la force de maintien appliquée par la languette de retenue (11) sur la portion inclinée (11a) en position verrouillée.Preferably, the retaining tongue (11) has an inclined portion (11a) facing the first half-shell (7) so as to gradually bring the half-shells (7, 8) against each other at as the lever (12) tilts to the locked position. Thus, when the user pulls the knife (1) back to perform a cutting operation, it increases the holding force applied by the retaining tongue (11) on the inclined portion (11a) in the locked position.
De préférence, le manche (2) est réalisé en aluminium et la partie support (2b) de lame (3) est une pièce rapportée réalisée en acier inoxydable. De cette manière les bords de la lame (3) sont en appui sur un matériau plus résistant ce qui permet une meilleure précision de découpe.Preferably, the handle (2) is made of aluminum and the blade support portion (2b) (3) is an insert made of stainless steel. In this way the edges of the blade (3) are supported on a stronger material which allows a better cutting accuracy.
