Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif mécanique pour maintenir en position un pistolet distributeur de carburant pendant le remplissage d'un réservoir de véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a mechanical device for holding in position a fuel dispensing gun during the filling of a motor vehicle tank.

Si de nombreux perfectionnements ont été apportés aux pistolets distributeurs tels qu'utilisés dans les stations- service en particulier au niveau de l'arrêt automatique de la distribution lorsque le remplissage des réservoirs atteint un certain niveau, il n'en demeure pas moins pour autant que dans la plupart des cas l'opérateur ("pompiste") est contraint de maintenir manuellement et de façon constante le pistolet pendant toute l'opération de remplissage, sous peine de voir le pistolet sortir du réservoir soit par l'action du tuyau auquel il est relié, soit même sous le simple effet de variation de pression ou d'à-coup dans l'alimentation. If numerous improvements have been made to the dispensing pistols as used in service stations, in particular at the level of the automatic stopping of the dispensing when the filling of the tanks reaches a certain level, the fact nonetheless remains that in most cases the operator ("pump attendant") is forced to maintain the gun manually and constantly during the entire filling operation, under penalty of seeing the gun come out of the tank either by the action of the hose to which it is connected, either even under the simple effect of pressure variation or jerk in the supply.

Ceci est, outre la fatigue entrainée, une perte de temps importante pour ltopérateur qui ne peut rien faire d'autre pendant ce temps. This is, in addition to the fatigue caused, a significant loss of time for the operator who can do nothing else during this time.

L'invention a pour but de remédier å ces inconvénients. The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks.

Conformement a l'invention ce résultat est obtenu en proposant un dispositif mecanique pour maintenir en position un pistolet distributeur de carburant pendant le remplissage d'un réservoir de véhicule automobile, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte d'une part des moyens de support proprement dit du pistolet, et d'autre part des moyens de fixation sur la carosserie du véhicule concerné, les moyens de support et les moyens de fixation étant reliés entre eux par un bras de liaison. In accordance with the invention this result is obtained by proposing a mechanical device for holding in position a fuel dispensing gun during the filling of a tank of a motor vehicle, characterized in that it comprises, on the one hand, support means properly said gun, and secondly means for fixing to the body of the vehicle concerned, the support means and the fixing means being interconnected by a connecting arm.

Les moyens de support du pistolet pourront être de toute forme et de toute nature. The support means of the gun may be of any shape and of any kind.

Pour les pistolets existants, le support pourra etre un simple collier fendu enserrant la poignée du pistolet à un endroit quelconque de celle-ci. For existing pistols, the support may be a simple split collar enclosing the pistol grip at any point thereof.

Avantageusement le moyen de support pourra être intégré à la poignée du pistolet à la fabrication, par exemple au moulage, éventuellement sous la forme d'un ancrage sur le fourreau protège-carrosserie. Advantageously, the support means can be integrated into the handle of the pistol during manufacture, for example during molding, possibly in the form of an anchoring on the bodywork protection sheath.

Les moyens de fixation du dispositif sur la carrosserie consisteront principalement en des éléments magnétiques ou comportant des ventouses. On préférera bien évidemment un sys tème magnétique composé da particules magnetiques noyées dans des plaques souples caoutchoutees. On ne risque pas ainsi de détériorer la carrosserie du véhicule. The means of fixing the device to the bodywork will consist mainly of magnetic elements or comprising suction cups. We will obviously prefer a magnetic system composed of magnetic particles embedded in flexible rubberized plates. There is no risk of damaging the vehicle body.

Enfin, la liaison entre les moyens de support du pistolet et les moyens de fixation sur la carrosserie sera assurée par un bras de liaison de préférence articulé pour permettre une adaptabilité à tous les types de véhicules. Finally, the connection between the gun support means and the fixing means on the body will be provided by a preferably articulated link arm to allow adaptability to all types of vehicles.

Il pourra s'agir d'un flexible semi-rigide, ou encore d'un assemblage réglable articulé par vis ou rotules. It could be a semi-rigid hose, or even an adjustable assembly articulated by screws or ball joints.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description ci-apres en référence à la figure unique annexée qui est une vue d ensemble du dispositif conforme à l'invention. The invention will be better understood using the description below with reference to the single appended figure which is an overview of the device according to the invention.

On a représenté un pistolet (1) de type en soi connu comportant une gachette (2) de commande munie d'un dispositif de blocage (3) salement connu en lui-même. There is shown a pistol (1) of a type known per se comprising a trigger (2) control provided with a blocking device (3) badly known in itself.

Le pistolet (1) est dispose par son embout (4) dans ltorifice du réservoir (5) d'un véhicule automobile (6). The gun (1) is arranged by its tip (4) in the tank opening (5) of a motor vehicle (6).

Pour eviter eonformément à l'invention que le pistolet ne sorte du réservoir si le pompiste vient à le lacher, on munit ledit pistolet d'un dispositif mécanique (7) qui va être décrit en détails. To avoid in accordance with the invention that the pistol does not leave the reservoir if the pump attendant comes to drop it, said pistol is provided with a mechanical device (7) which will be described in detail.

Ce dispositif comporte tout d'abord des moyens de support du pistolet (1), par exemple un collier (8) enserrant la poignée du pistolet. Dans l'exemple representé les moyens de support sont rapportes, mais ils peuvent venir de moulage avec l'ensemble de la poignée du pistolet en particulier avec la garde (9). This device firstly comprises means for supporting the gun (1), for example a collar (8) enclosing the handle of the gun. In the example shown the support means are reported, but they can come from molding with the whole of the pistol grip in particular with the guard (9).

Aux moyens de support du pistolet est relié à l'une de ses extrémités un bras de liaison (10), par exemple par une vis ou un bouton molleté (11) permettant le serrage ou le desserrage à volonté pour adapter l'inclinaison du bras de liaison (10) à la structure de tout vehicule automobile. To the gun support means is connected at one of its ends a link arm (10), for example by a screw or a knurled button (11) allowing the tightening or loosening at will to adapt the inclination of the arm connecting (10) to the structure of any motor vehicle.

A son autre extrémité le bras (10) est articulé, par exemple par une rotule (12), à un moyen de fixation t13) permettant de solidariser le dispositif (7) et la carrosserie (6) du véhicule automobile. On a representé ce moyen de fixation (13) sous la forme d'un arceau (14) comportant sur chacun de ses chants un patin (15,16). Ces patins (15,16) peuvent être par exemple des ventouses, ou encore, tel que représenté , des plaques souples dans lesquelles sont noyées de manire connue des particules magnétiques.  At its other end, the arm (10) is articulated, for example by a ball joint (12), to a fixing means t13) making it possible to secure the device (7) and the bodywork (6) of the motor vehicle. We have shown this fixing means (13) in the form of a hoop (14) having on each of its edges a shoe (15,16). These pads (15, 16) can be, for example, suction cups, or, as shown, flexible plates in which magnetic particles are embedded in a known manner.

Le dispositif conforme à -l'invention pourra être réalisé en des matériaux très légers (matière plastique, alliages) de manière à ne pas alourdir le pistolet ce qui serait un inconvénient au niveau de la manipulation. The device according to the invention can be made of very light materials (plastic, alloys) so as not to weigh down the gun, which would be a disadvantage in terms of handling.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention peut servir seul à soutenir le pistolet. Pour certains réservoirs où le pistolet est en position plus inclinée, la partie basse de la poignée viendra en appui sur la carrosserie, ce qui limitera la tenson au niveau du moyen de fixation (13)1  The device according to the invention can be used alone to support the gun. For certain tanks where the gun is in a more tilted position, the lower part of the handle will come to bear on the body, which will limit the tension at the level of the fixing means (13) 1
