Description

COMPARATEUR DE DISTANCES POLIR JEUX DE BOtiLES
L'appareil faisant l'objet de la présente invention est destiné à comparer les distances de deux ou plusieurs boules par rapport au cochonnet.COMPARATOR OF DISTANCES POLISH BOYS GAMES
The apparatus which is the subject of the present invention is intended to compare the distances of two or more balls with respect to the jack.

Des appareils de ce type-ont été développés antérieurement utilisant des mètres pliants (brevet français 1235521), des compas (brevets français 1289644 et 1460823) ou des systèmes optiques (brevet français 2265062). Devices of this type have been developed previously using folding meters (French patent 1235521), compasses (French patents 1289644 and 1460823) or optical systems (French patent 2265062).

Dans le brevet français 1485096, il a été proposé un comparateur de distances, se centrant sur la verticale du cochonnet et muni d'un bras expansible pivotant supportant un palpeur. Ce comparateur présente deux inconvénients
1) le palpeur articulé sur le bras expansible entraîne une flexion pouvant
fausser la mesure des distances.In French patent 1485096, a distance comparator has been proposed, centered on the vertical of the jack and provided with an expanding swivel arm supporting a feeler. This comparator has two drawbacks
1) the probe articulated on the expanding arm causes a bending which can
distort the measurement of distances.

2) en cas de boules n'ayant pas exactement le morne diamètre, il est néces
saire d'agir sur le palpeur et de le faire pivoter pour le placer au
niveau du grand diamètre horizontal de la boule de diamètre différent.2) in the event of balls not having exactly the dreary diameter, it is necessary
act on the probe and rotate it to place it
level of the large horizontal diameter of the ball of different diameter.

Ce pivotement entraine le palpeur à décrire un nouveau cercle concen
trique à celui correspondant à la première boule mais dont le rayon
est différent, ce qui supprime toute possibilité de comparaison.This pivoting causes the probe to describe a new concentric circle
stick to the one corresponding to the first ball but whose radius
is different, which removes any possibility of comparison.

L'appareil selon l'invention supprime les inconvénients pré-cités tout en proposant un appareil démontable facile à utiliser et permettant une comparaison des distances précise et exacte quelque soit le diamètre de la boule utilisée. The device according to the invention eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks while providing a removable device that is easy to use and allows a comparison of precise and exact distances whatever the diameter of the ball used.

Le fonctionnement et les avantages de l'appareil selon l'invention appa paîtront plus clairement à la description de ce dernier. The operation and the advantages of the apparatus according to the invention will appear more clearly from the description of the latter.

La figure fournie représente une vue en perspective de l'appareil. L'appareil se compose d'une semelle d'assise (A) en forme d'équerre. La partie verticale de la semelle (A) est munie d'une glissière centrée sur la partie supérieure et d'une fente centrée sur la partie inférieure. La fente est prolongée par une deuxième glissière centrée sur la partie horizontale de la semelle d'assise (A). Ia partie horizontale doit être plus longue que la partie verticale pour assurer l'équilibre de l'ensemble, en outre la semelle (A) peut-être stabilisée avec le pied, ou le genou, ou une boule posee sur un logement prévu à cet effet sur la partie horizontale. La fourchette (B) de centrage du cochonnet est interchangeable et peut pénétrer dans la fente aménagée dans la semelle (A) pour coulisser dans la glissière horizontale prévue à cet effet.La fourchette (B) de centrage est bloquée au moyen d'une vis molletée. Les cochonnets pouvant être de diamètres différents, on peut prévoir des fourchettes (B) de centrage d'écartements différents. Une potence de liaison (C) réunit la semelle (A) et la tête pivotante (D). La potence peut se déplacer dans la glissière verticale aménagée sur la semelle (A). Comme la fourchette (B), la potence (C) peut-être bloquée au moyen d'une vis molletée. le déplacement vertical de la potence (C) permet de s'adapter comme la fourchette (B) des cochonnets de diamètres différents et de comparer les distances avec deux ou plusieurs houles de diamètres différents. Une tête pivotante (D) s'articule sur la potence de liaison (C).Elle peut pivoter horizontalement de 3606 autour d'un axe (G) et verticalement de 900 autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe (G). The figure provided represents a perspective view of the device. The device consists of a square sole (A). The vertical part of the sole (A) is provided with a slide centered on the upper part and a slot centered on the lower part. The slot is extended by a second slide centered on the horizontal part of the seat sole (A). Ia horizontal part must be longer than the vertical part to ensure the balance of the whole, in addition the sole (A) can be stabilized with the foot, or the knee, or a ball placed on a housing provided for this effect on the horizontal part. The centering fork (B) of the jack is interchangeable and can enter the slot in the sole (A) to slide in the horizontal slide provided for this purpose. The centering fork (B) is locked by means of a screw softness. As the pigs can be of different diameters, it is possible to provide forks (B) for centering different spacings. A connecting bracket (C) joins the sole (A) and the pivoting head (D). The stem can move in the vertical slide fitted on the sole (A). Like the fork (B), the stem (C) can be blocked by means of a knurled screw. the vertical displacement of the stem (C) makes it possible to adapt like the fork (B) piglets of different diameters and to compare the distances with two or more swells of different diameters. A pivoting head (D) is articulated on the connecting bracket (C). It can pivot horizontally by 3606 around an axis (G) and vertically by 900 around an axis perpendicular to the axis (G).

le dit axe (G) est fixé sur la potence de liaison (C) dans une direction verticale et opposée à la tête pivotante (n).  said axis (G) is fixed on the connecting bracket (C) in a vertical direction and opposite to the pivoting head (n).

Pour positionner l'appareil, il faut donc amener la fourchette (B) à 1 mm du cochonnet par rapport au grand diamètre horizontal de ce dernier, puis déplacer la potence (C) pour que l'axe (G) se trouve au-dessus du cochonnet. To position the device, you must therefore bring the fork (B) 1 mm from the jack relative to the large horizontal diameter of the latter, then move the stem (C) so that the axis (G) is above of the pig.

L'axe (G) est alors dans la direction du grand diamètre vertical du cochonnet.The axis (G) is then in the direction of the large vertical diameter of the jack.

Une tige télescopique (E) est fixée sur la tête pivotante (D) et suit ses pivotements. Pour effectuer la comparaison des distances, il suffit d'allonger la tige télescopique (E) en direction d'une première boule et de porter l'ex- trémité de la tige (E) au plus près du droit du grand diamètre horizontal de cette première boule. L'ensemble de la tige (E) étant monté coulissant dans la tête pivotante, le réglage de la position peut être affiné en agissant sur l'extrémité de la tige (E) opposée à celle pointant la boule. i.e réglage terminé, il suffit de tourner la tige (E) vers la deuxième boule. Selon la position de celle-ci par rapport à l'extrémité de la tige (E) on en déduit si elle se trouve à une distance inférieure, égale ou supérieure par rapport à la première boule.Au cas où cette seconde boule présente un diamètre différent de celui de la première boule de référence, il suffit de glisser la potence de liaison (C) sur la semelle d'assise (A) pour porter l'extrémité de la tige (E) au plus près du droit du grand diamètre horizontal de cette seconde boule. A telescopic rod (E) is fixed on the pivoting head (D) and follows its pivoting. To compare the distances, simply extend the telescopic rod (E) towards a first ball and bring the end of the rod (E) as close as possible to the right of the large horizontal diameter of this first ball. The whole of the rod (E) being slidably mounted in the pivoting head, the position adjustment can be refined by acting on the end of the rod (E) opposite to that pointing the ball. i.e adjustment finished, just turn the rod (E) towards the second ball. Depending on its position relative to the end of the rod (E), we can deduce if it is at a distance less, equal or greater than the first ball. In case this second ball has a diameter different from that of the first reference ball, just slide the link bracket (C) on the seat sole (A) to bring the end of the rod (E) as close to the right of the large horizontal diameter of this second ball.

On en déduit alors si elle se trouve à une distance inférieure, égale ou supérieure par rapport à la première boule. Le déplacement vertical de la potence de liaison (C) peut également servir à Éviter des boules situées à l'intérieur du cercle relatif à la boule de référence tout en maintenant le rayon du cercle de référence constant.We then deduce if it is at a distance less, equal or greater with respect to the first ball. The vertical displacement of the link bracket (C) can also be used to avoid balls located inside the circle relative to the reference ball while keeping the radius of the reference circle constant.

Un bottier (F) est également fixé sur la tête pivotante (n). Le bottier (F) contient un mètre-ruban et permet de connaitre la distance mesurée en déroulant le mètre-ruban parallèlement et au-dessu de la tige (E). Ttne ouverture prévue sur le boitier (F) permet la lecture directe de la distance mesurée.  A case (F) is also attached to the swivel head (n). The case (F) contains a measuring tape and allows you to know the distance measured by unrolling the measuring tape parallel and above the rod (E). An opening provided on the box (F) allows direct reading of the measured distance.
