Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drawing compass.
  • the present invention also relates to an article for the presentation for sale of said drawing compass.
  • the compass is an instrument with relatively complex use especially for children. Learning to use a compass is usually not the subject of a specific systematic teaching as it is for example the case for the learning of the writing where a particular attention is carried on the correct behavior of the pencil by the child. The use of a compass can therefore be difficult.
  • a recurring difficulty concerns the misalignment of the dry point during a circle path.
  • the user To draw an arc or a circle, the user must turn the compass, usually at a slight angle, while the dry point is pointed at the same place.
  • the movement to be performed by the fingers and wrist around the gripping portion is not always easy to achieve.
  • An unsteady or brutal gesture will tend to push the tip out of the paper and cause the plot to fail.
  • the safety aspect being more and more present on the objects intended for the youngest ones, the dry tips of compasses are less and less tapered, which can reinforce the difficulties of use.
  • a compass which has an eccentric gripping portion and in ball joint relation to the clevis of the compass.
  • the ball joint allows a user to draw a complete circle, or even to make several passages of the pencil on the circle to mark the line without the position of the fingers on the gripping portion does not move contrary to a conventional compass.
  • the movement to be performed by the user is therefore simpler and avoids the misalignment of the dry tip during a circle path.
  • this compass may not allow the user to draw arcs of circle precisely because the length of the arc is not mastered because of the play induced by the ball joint. Also, this type of compass may be more difficult to use to accurately report measurements or to perform geometric realizations.
  • the present invention aims to avoid at least partially these disadvantages by proposing a drawing compass easy to use especially by children, playful and evolutionary, to accurately draw circles and arcs of circles and to facilitate the tracing of complete circles avoiding unintended misalignment.
  • the mobility of the gripping cap allows two types of uses very different from the compass, being distinguished in terms of applications but also in terms of required dexterity. Indeed, the compass can be used for learning the realization of complete circles, including children, by positioning the gripping cap in ball joint.
  • the ball joint allows the gripping cap to rotate freely 360 ° around the axis of the compass as well as to pivot on either side of the axis of the compass. This ball joint allows a user to draw a complete circle without the position of the fingers on the gripping portion does not move. The movement to be performed by the user is therefore simpler and avoids the misalignment of the dry tip during a circle path.
  • the compass can also be used in a classic way, in particular for the precise transfer of measurements, to perform geometrical realizations, for the precise drawing of arcs of circle or when the gesture of the drawing of a complete circle is well mastered, by blocking the grip cap.
  • the compass can be evolutionary with the child.
  • connection head carries for example a thinned annular portion which cooperates with a radial protuberance element of the gripping cap in ball joint connection.
  • the threaded portion is for example surmounted by the thinned annular portion so that the user moves from the position in ball joint connection to the locked position by mounting the locking ring along the threaded portion.
  • the gripping cap and the connection head have complementary means of cooperation by elastic casing to immobilize the gripping cap with respect to the connection head in the locked position.
  • connection head has an annular notch cooperating with a radial protrusion member of the grip cap to lock the grip cap by resiliently fitting in the locked position.
  • the annular notch can be overcome by the thinned annular portion so that the user moves from the locked position to the ball joint position by pulling on the grip cap.
  • the connection head and the grip cap may further include complementary anti-rotation means configured to prevent rotation of the grip cap in the locked position.
  • connection head may have a frustoconical portion cooperating with the cavity of the gripping cap in ball joint connection to limit the pivoting of the gripping cap at an angle less than +/- 50 ° about the axis of the compass, such as the order of +/- 40 °.
  • connection head is for example carried by the end of one of the two branches, such as by the end of the branch carrying the writing instrument.
  • the user can naturally tilt the compass to exert a vertical force on the gripping cap substantially perpendicular to the tip dry, which can limit the risk of misalignment.
  • the branches are for example articulated together by means of a common hinge pin.
  • the grip cap can have an elongated and smooth shape to ensure a good grip by the fingers of the user.
  • the invention also relates to an article for the presentation for sale comprising a blister pack and a drawing compass as described above.
  • the blister pack comprises a cardboard and a transparent shell attached to the cardboard, the shell forming a housing with the cardboard to receive the drawing compass.
  • the shell includes a bubble forming the housing at the drawing compass gripping cap, with a hole in the cardboard at the back of the bubble to allow a user to test the passage of the gripping cap secure position. at the position in ball joint connection.
  • the gripping cap received in the bubble thus has a clear space around it to be moved between the locked position and the position in ball joint.
  • the orifice at the rear of the bubble allows the passage of the ends of the fingers of a user such as a potential buyer, for the manipulation of the drawing compass.
  • This particular form of the blister pack thus allows a user to test the passage from the locked position of the gripping cap to the position in ball joint, without removing the drawing compass from its blister pack.
  • the Figure 1 shows a drawing compass 1 according to a first embodiment.
  • the compass 1 comprises two branches 2, 3 hinged together, a branch 2 carrying a writing instrument 4, for example removable, and a branch 3 carrying a dry point 5.
  • the writing instrument 4 is for example a mine ( Figure 1 ), a pencil or something.
  • the branches 2, 3 are hinged together for example by means of a common hinge pin 6.
  • the hinge pin 6 is for example formed by a screw-nut assembly 6a, 6b ( Figure 3 ) passing through two orifices 7 formed in the branches 2, 3, an orifice 7 being formed in each branch 2, 3.
  • the compass 1 further comprises a connection head 8 and a gripping cap 9.
  • connection head 8 is formed in one end of the compass 1 opposite those carrying the writing instrument 4 and the dry point 5.
  • the branches 2, 3 may be made of plastic or metal polymer material.
  • the gripping cap 9 may be of rigid thermoplastic material.
  • the gripping cap 9 has for example an elongated and smooth shape that can be substantially thinned to ensure good grip by the fingers of the user. It has for example a height of a few centimeters, such as greater than 2cm.
  • a cavity 10, for example cylindrical, cooperating with the connection head 8 is formed in the gripping cap 9 ( Figure 4 ).
  • connection head 8 is for example carried by the end of one of the two branches 2, 3, such that the end of the branch 2 carrying the writing instrument 4.
  • the user can naturally tilt the compass 1 to exert a vertical force on the gripping cap 9 substantially at the base of the dry tip 5, which can limit the risk of misalignment.
  • connection head 8 and the branch 2, 3 carrying the connection head 8 are for example formed in one piece.
  • Compass 1 does not have a clevis then.
  • the compass comprises a yoke on the hinge, the connection head being formed or carried by the yoke.
  • the gripping cap 9 can also take a locked position ( Figures 2 and 5 ) and a position in ball joint connection ( Figures 1 and 4 ).
  • the gripping cap 9 In the position in ball joint connection, the gripping cap 9 is movable in ball-and-socket connection with respect to the connection head 8.
  • connection head 8 carries for example a thinned annular portion 11 which cooperates with the radial protuberance element 12 of the gripping cap 9 in ball joint connection.
  • the gripping cap 9 is force-fitted on the connection head 8 so that the radial protrusion element 12 cooperates with the thinned annular portion 11 in a ball joint connection.
  • the gripping cap 9 is then retained at the connection head 8 in a manner that is difficult to dismantle.
  • the ball joint allows the gripping cap 9 to rotate freely over 360 ° around the axis II of the compass 1, which is here as we shall see later the axis of the thread, as well as to pivot on both sides axis II of compass 1 ( Figure 4 ).
  • connection head 8 may have a frustoconical portion 13 overlying the thinned annular portion 11.
  • the frustoconical portion 13 forms an end stud received in the cavity 10 of the gripping cap 9 which abuts with the internal walls of the cavity 10 to limit the pivoting of the gripping cap 9 at an angle ⁇ less than +/- 50 ° around the axis II of the compass 1, such that of the order of +/- 40 °.
  • the connecting head 8 has a threaded portion 14 and the compass 1 comprises a locking ring 15 in helical connection with the threaded portion 14.
  • the locking ring 15 can assume a high position ( Figures 2 and 5 ) and a low position ( Figures 1 and 4 ) on the threaded portion 14.
  • the threaded portion 14 is for example surmounted by the thinned annular portion 11 so that the user moves from the position to the ball joint ( Figures 1 and 4 ) at the locked position ( Figures 2 and 5 ) by mounting the locking ring 15 along the threaded portion 14.
  • the locking ring 15 cooperates with a base 16 of the gripping cap 9 to immobilize the gripping cap 9 relative to the connection head 8.
  • the base 16 and the lateral face of the locking ring 15 are for example flat walls. Their cooperation makes it possible to guide the axis of the gripping cap 9 in axis II of the compass ( Figure 5 ).
  • the gripping cap 9 is then integral in motion of the branch 2 of the compass 1, that is to say deprived of its degrees of freedom due to the force exerted by the ring 15 on the base 16 of the gripping cap 9 .
  • connection head 8 In the low position on the threaded portion 14, the locking ring 15 is away from the gripping cap 9, releasing the mobility of the gripping cap 9. The thinned annular portion 11 of the connection head 8 then co-operates with the radial protrusion element 12 of the gripping cap 9 in ball joint connection ( Figure 4 ).
  • the compass 1 can be used in a conventional manner.
  • the user mounts the locking ring 15 along the threaded portion 14 in the high position.
  • the user can then use the compass 1 in particular for the transfer of measurements, to perform geometric realizations, for the precise drawing of arcs of circle or when the gesture of drawing a complete circle is well controlled.
  • the user lowers the locking ring 15 along the threaded portion 14.
  • the mobility of the gripping cap 9 is then released in connection patella.
  • the ball joint allows a user to draw a complete circle without the position of the fingers on the gripping portion 9 moves.
  • the movement to be performed by the user is therefore simpler and it avoids the misalignment of the dry tip 5 during a circle pattern.
  • the mobility of the gripping cap 9 therefore allows two types of very different uses of the compass 1 which are distinguished in terms of applications but also in terms of dexterity required. Indeed, the compass 1 can be used for learning the realization of complete circles by positioning the gripping cap 9 in ball joint, this application does not require significant dexterity.
  • the compass can also be used in a conventional manner, by blocking the gripping cap 9. The compass 1 can therefore be scalable with the child.
  • Turning the locking ring 15 on the threaded portion 14 is also a simple gesture, playful and intuitive. It can therefore be easily understood especially by children.
  • the complementary means of cooperation by screwing do not have a complex architecture, so they are inexpensive. They have moreover a good robustness to wear.
  • This example differs from the preceding in that the gripping cap 9 'and the connecting head 8' have complementary means of cooperation by elastic casing (also called means of cooperation by "clipping” or “clipping” or “deformation” elastic ”) to immobilize the grip cap 9 'with respect to the connection head 8' in the locked position.
  • elastic casing also called means of cooperation by "clipping” or “clipping” or “deformation” elastic
  • the connecting head 8 ' has an annular notch 17 cooperating with the radial protrusion element 12 of the gripping cap 9' to block the gripping cap 9 'by elastic casing ( Figure 9 ).
  • the respective dimensions of the annular notch 17 and the base 16 cause that in the locked position, the gripping cap 9 'can not incline relative to the axis II of the compass 1', formed here by the the axis of the thinned annular portion 11 and the annular notch 17.
  • the annular notch 17 can be overcome by the thinned annular portion 11 so that the user moves from the locked position ( Figure 9 ) at the position in ball joint connection ( Figure 8 ) by pulling on the gripping cap 9 '.
  • the annular notch 17 further has a stop 20 ( Figure 8 ) cooperating with the base 16 of the gripping cap 9 'in the locked position ( Figure 9 ).
  • the base 16 and the abutment 20 are for example flat walls. Their cooperation positions the axis of the gripping cap 9 'in the axis II of the compass.
  • connection head 8 'and the gripping cap 9' may further include complementary anti-rotation means configured to prevent rotation of the grip cap 9 'in the locked position.
  • complementary anti-rotation means are for example formed by at least one rib 18 of the connection head 8 'and as many grooves 19 formed in the gripping cap 9' ( Figure 6 ).
  • the ribs 18 project from a base of the connection head 8 'and engage in the locked position in the complementary grooves 19 formed in the gripping cap 9' ( Figures 7 and 9 ) to prevent the rotation of the gripping cap 9 '.
  • the compass 1 can be used in a conventional manner.
  • the user presses on the gripping cap 9 'so that the annular notch 17 cooperates with the radial protrusion element 12 to block the gripping cap 9' by elastic casing ( Figure 9 ).
  • the stop 20 of the connection head 8 'cooperates with the base 16 of the gripping cap 9' to position the axis of the gripping cap 9 'in the axis II of the compass.
  • the ribs 18 engage the grooves 19 of the grip cap 9 'to prevent rotation of the grip cap 9'.
  • the gripping cap 9 is secured to the movement of the branch 2 of the compass 1.
  • the user pulls on the gripping cap 9' so that the thinned annular portion 11 of the connection head 8 cooperates with the radial protrusion element 12 of the gripping cap 9 '.
  • the passage between the two positions is made in force, passing a hard point.
  • the mobility of the gripping cap 9 ' is then released in a ball joint.
  • the cooperation means may comprise springs to facilitate the passage from one position to another and / or the cooperation means may comprise guides allowing movement of the gripping cap on the head, for example by a movement of bayonet type (or translation movement followed by a rotation) or slide type.
  • the cooperation means may comprise a cam and a cam follower, for example resiliently biased and adapted to follow a profile formed in the cam, the cam being for example carried by the connection head.
  • the cooperation means may also comprise movable locking elements, such as levers.
  • drawing compass is easy to use, particularly by children, playful and progressive, and that it allows precise tracing of circles and arcs of circles as well as the learning of complete circle tracing .
