Abstract

The wedge is to aid the splitting of logs. It has a vertical pillar (1) carried on a base shoe (2). Along the pillar slides a sliding part (3) carrying a wedge part (5). The pillar is cylindrical as is the sliding part (3). The slide and wedge can, as a result, be positioned approximately. The wedge is carried on a sloping arm (4) and has two side fitted splitters. These each consist of a bent piece of flat steel. The wedge minimises the risk of operator injury.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif permettant de fendre des bûches de bois. The present invention relates to a device for splitting wood logs.

I1 est bien connu que pour fendre des bûches de bois il faut disposer un coin dans une bûche et l'enfoncer au moyen d'une masse. Cette méthode qui est fort ancienne, nécessite une habileté certaine, due en général à une longue pratique, au point qu'elle n'est pratiquement jamais à la portée du citadin qui, ayant une résidence secondaire, désire fendre quelques bûches. It is well known that to split wooden logs you have to place a wedge in a log and drive it in using a hammer. This method which is very old, requires a certain skill, generally due to a long practice, to the point that it is practically never within the reach of the city dweller who, having a second home, wishes to split some logs.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif simple et peu onéreux, permettant à toute personne, même inexpérimentée, de fendre des bûches. The present invention relates to a simple and inexpensive device, allowing any person, even inexperienced, to split logs.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention est constitué par un mat maintenu en position verticale par un pied, le long duquel est monté un coulisseau portant un coin. The device according to the present invention consists of a mast held in a vertical position by a foot, along which is mounted a slide carrying a corner.

A titre d'exemple et pour faciliter la compréhension de l'invention, on a représenté aux dessins annexés
Figure 1, une vue en élévation latérale d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention.
By way of example and to facilitate understanding of the invention, there is shown in the accompanying drawings
Figure 1, a side elevational view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.

Figure 2, une vue à grande échelle d'un détail de la figure 1. Figure 2, a large-scale view of a detail of Figure 1.

En se reportant à ces figures, on voit que le dispositif est constitué par un mat 1, porté par une semelle 2, sur lequel coulisse un coulisseau 3 solidaire d'un bras 4, auquel est fixé un coin 5. Referring to these figures, it can be seen that the device is constituted by a mast 1, carried by a sole 2, on which slides a slide 3 secured to an arm 4, to which a wedge 5 is fixed.

De préférence, le mat 1 est de section cylindrique, ainsi que le coulisseau, ce qui permet de faire pivoter l'ensemble coulisseau 3, bras 4 et coin 5.  Preferably, the mast 1 is of cylindrical section, as is the slide, which makes it possible to pivot the slide 3, arm 4 and wedge 5 assembly.

De préférence également, comme cela est représenté à la figure 2, sur les côtés du coin 5 sont soudés deux fers plats coudés 6, qui font office d'éclateur. Ces fers plats 6 sont soudés à quelques centimètres de l'extrémité du coin et augmentent l'épaisseur de ce dernier. Also preferably, as shown in Figure 2, on the sides of the corner 5 are welded two bent flat irons 6, which act as a spark gap. These flat irons 6 are welded a few centimeters from the end of the corner and increase the thickness of the latter.

Pour fendre une bûche de petites dimensions, de l'ordre de 400 mm, on la pose debout sur la semelle 2 et, grâce au coulisseau 3, on place le coin sur le haut de la bûche , avec précision, à l'endroit voulu, et on peut le lacher sans qu'il bouge, ce qui permet de tenir la masse à deux mains. On ne risque pas de se blesser en tenant le coin d'une main et la masse de l'autre; de plus, si les coups de masse sont mal ajustés, on ne risque pas d'être blessé par l'éjection du coin. To split a small log, of the order of 400 mm, it is placed upright on the sole 2 and, thanks to the slide 3, the corner is placed on the top of the log, precisely, at the desired location , and you can drop it without moving, which allows you to hold the mass with two hands. There is no risk of injury by holding the corner with one hand and the mass with the other; moreover, if the blows of mass are badly adjusted, there is no risk of being injured by the ejection of the corner.

Pour fendre une bûche de dimensions plus importantes, on place la bûche horizontalement et on pose le coin à l'endroit désiré grâce au coulisseau; on peut ensuite facilement, si besoin est, placer d'autres coins dans la fente ainsi commencée.  To split a larger log, place the log horizontally and place the wedge in the desired location using the slider; we can then easily, if necessary, place other corners in the slot thus started.
