Abstract

The end piece 1 is formed by a driving head 2 profiled in order to interact with a usual tool and by a portion 3 arranged to cap the head 5' of a traditional screw 5; it has a calibrated rupture initiator 4 which ensures that the end piece is sectioned off when the tightening torque exceeds a predetermined value.

Description

On sait que pour un certain nombre d'applications et tout partie
lièrement dans l'industrie des connecteurs électriques, on a propose des vis comportant deux têtes d'actionnement superposées, reliées axialement l'une à l'autre par une partie amincie susceptible de se rompre lorsque le couple de serrage appliqué à la tête extérieure dépasse un seuil déterminé. On conçoit que si l'on est ainsi assuré d'impartir à la vis un couple de serrage bien précis, il n'en reste pas moins que les vis de ce type requièrent évidemment une fabrication spéciale plus coûteuse ; de plus et surtout, le métal découvert par le sectionnement ntest pas protégé et est de la sorte soumis à l'oxydation, ce qui peut se révéler très gênant, notamment dans l'industrie électrique.
We know that for a certain number of applications and all part
In the electrical connector industry, screws have been proposed comprising two superimposed actuating heads, connected axially to each other by a thinned part capable of breaking when the tightening torque applied to the outer head exceeds a determined threshold. It is understandable that if it is thus ensured that the screw is given a very precise tightening torque, the fact remains that screws of this type obviously require more expensive special manufacture; moreover and above all, the metal discovered by the sectioning is not protected and is thus subjected to oxidation, which can prove to be very troublesome, especially in the electrical industry.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend principalement remédier la présente invention, laquelle a pour objet, à titre de produit industriel nouveau, un embout indépendant de vissage comprenant deux parties coaxiales dont l'une est propre à être entraînée en rotation à l'aide d'un outil usuel, tandis que l'autre est conformée de façon à venir coopérer avec la tête d'entratnement d'une vis ou d'un écrou classsique, ledit embout présentant une amorce de rupture agence de manière à s'opposer par sectionnement à l'entratnement de l'ensemble dès que le couple qui lui est imparti dépasse un certain seuil. It is to these drawbacks that the present invention mainly intends to remedy, which has as its object, as a new industrial product, an independent screwing bit comprising two coaxial parts, one of which is capable of being rotated with using a conventional tool, while the other is shaped so as to cooperate with the drive head of a conventional screw or nut, said end piece having a primer for breaking arranged so as to oppose by sectioning the drive of the assembly as soon as the torque allocated to it exceeds a certain threshold.

On obtient donc sur le plan du serrage un résultat identique a celui obtenu à l'aide des vis connues à couple de serrage limite, mains la réalisation de l'embout sous la forme d'une pièce indépendante susceptible d'être adaptée aux vis et écrous classiques présente des avantages incontestables, aussi bien sur le plan du coût de fabrication que sur celui de la protection à l'encontre de l'oxydation. A tightening result is therefore obtained identical to that obtained using known screws with a limited tightening torque, but the production of the endpiece in the form of an independent piece capable of being adapted to the screws and Conventional nuts have indisputable advantages, both in terms of manufacturing cost and protection against oxidation.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle pressente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer. The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it senses and the advantages which it is capable of providing.

Fig. 1 est une vue en élévation avec arrachement montrant, en superposition préalablement au montage de l'un sur l'autre, un embout de vissage suivant l'invention et la vis à manoeuvrer. Fig. 1 is a cutaway elevation view showing, superimposed prior to mounting one on the other, a screwdriver bit according to the invention and the screw to be operated.

Fig. 2 reproduit fig. 1 après vissage de la vis et sectionnement de l'embout. Fig. 2 reproduced fig. 1 after screwing in the screw and cutting off the end piece.

Fig. 3 à 7 sont des vues schématiques en perspective illustrant cinq variantes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Q
L'embout de vissage 1 tel que représente en fig. 1 et 2 est formé par une pièce monobloc comprenant une partie supérieure ou tête 2 solidaire d'une partie inférieure ou coiffe 3. La tête 2 presente extérieurement le profil hexagonal usuel du type de vis auxquelles l'embout 1 est destiné à être associé, tandis que la coiffe 3 comporte une cavité ouverte vers le bas et établie au même profil. Dans la zone qui raccorde les parties 2 et 3 est prévue une gorge ou rainure 4 qui définit de la sorte une amorce de rupture.
Fig. 3 to 7 are schematic perspective views illustrating five alternative embodiments of the invention. Q
The screwing bit 1 as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 is formed by a single piece comprising an upper part or head 2 secured to a lower part or cap 3. The head 2 presents externally the usual hexagonal profile of the type of screw with which the end piece 1 is intended to be associated, while the cap 3 has a cavity open downward and established in the same profile. In the zone which connects parts 2 and 3, a groove or groove 4 is provided which thus defines a starting point for rupture.

L'utilisation et le fonctionnement de l'embout de vissage 1 découlent des explications qui précèdent et se comprennent aisément. On conçoit effectivement que la coiffe 3 de l'embout considéré est propre à recevoir dans sa cavité la tête 5' de la vis 5 de type usuel dont on désire limiter le serrage à un couple détermine. I1 suffit d'appliquer la clef ou autre outil 6 sur la tête 2 et de procéder au vissage jusqu' ce que l'embout 1 se sectionne au niveau de la rainure 4, comme illustré en fig. 2 La coiffe 3 est alors retirée de la tête 5' et l'on est ainsi assuré que le serrage de la vis 5 a bien été effectué au couple considéré. The use and operation of the screwing bit 1 follow from the foregoing explanations and are easily understood. It is effectively understood that the cap 3 of the end-piece in question is suitable for receiving in its cavity the head 5 ′ of the screw 5 of the usual type which it is desired to limit the tightening to a determined torque. It suffices to apply the key or other tool 6 to the head 2 and to proceed with screwing until the end piece 1 is cut at the level of the groove 4, as illustrated in FIG. 2 The cap 3 is then removed from the head 5 ′ and it is thus ensured that the tightening of the screw 5 has indeed been carried out with the torque considered.

Il va se soi que la tête 5' n'est en aucune manière déteriorée, de telle sorte qu'elle conserve intégralement sa protection antioxydation. L'utilisateur doit simplement disposer d'un certain nombre de types d'embouts 1 qui diffèrent les uns des autres en fonction des dimensions des têtes 5' des vis à serrer et du couple à appliquer à celles-ci (profondeur de la rainure 4). It goes without saying that the head 5 'is in no way deteriorated, so that it fully retains its antioxidant protection. The user must simply have a certain number of types of bits 1 which differ from each other according to the dimensions of the heads 5 ′ of the screws to be tightened and the torque to be applied to them (depth of the groove 4 ).

I1 convient d'observer que si on prend soin de réaliser l'embout 1 sous forme tubulaire, comme on l'a suppose en fig. 1 et 2 où l'alésage axial a été référence 7, le même embout 1 est susceptible d'être utilisé aussi bien pour le serrage des vis que pour celui des écrous correspondants, ces derniers entant propres è venir se loger dans la cavité de la coiffe 3. It should be observed that if care is taken to produce the end piece 1 in tubular form, as is assumed in FIG. 1 and 2 where the axial bore has been reference 7, the same end piece 1 can be used both for tightening the screws and for that of the corresponding nuts, the latter being suitable for being housed in the cavity of the cap 3.

On peut bien entendu apporter différentes variantes à la forme de réalisation qui vient d'être décrite. En fig. 3, l'amorce tarée de rupture est constitue par une saignée longitudinale 40 pratiquée dans la coiffe 30 solidaire de la tête 20. En fig. 4, les parties 21 et 31 de l'embout ne sont séparées par aucune rainure, de la même manière qu'en fig. 3, l'amorce de rupture étant toutefois constituée par une gorge 41 ici ménagée dans la coiffe 31. Dans l'embout représenté en fig. 5, l'amorce de rupture tarée se présente sous la forme d'une fente ouverte 42 qui intéresse toute la hauteur des parties 22 et 32. On conçoit que dans ces trois variantes, l'utilisation et le fonctionnement sont absolument identiques à ce qui a été expose ci-dessus en référence à fig. 1 et 2. It is of course possible to make different variants to the embodiment which has just been described. In fig. 3, the tared breaking point is formed by a longitudinal groove 40 formed in the cap 30 secured to the head 20. In FIG. 4, the parts 21 and 31 of the endpiece are not separated by any groove, in the same manner as in FIG. 3, the initiation of rupture however being constituted by a groove 41 here formed in the cap 31. In the endpiece shown in FIG. 5, the tared rupture initiator is in the form of an open slot 42 which involves the entire height of the parts 22 and 32. It will be understood that in these three variants, the use and the operation are absolutely identical to what has been set out above with reference to fig. 1 and 2.

Fig. 6 et 7 illustrent l'application de l'invention à la manoeuvre des vis du type à six pans creux. Chaque embout de vissage comprend en pareil cas une tête 23 creusée axialement en 23a afin de recevoir une clef de manoeuvre classique, et une partie inférieure 33 qui se présente non plus sous la forme d'une coiffe creuse comme en fig. 1 à 5, mais sous celle d'un corps plein à profil général tronconique, solidaire d'un prolongement axial 33a à profil hexagonal afin de pouvoir coopérer avec la cavité d'entraînement des vis six pans creux classiques. L'amorce de rupture est constituée par une rainure 43 qui peut affecter en section l'un ou l'autre des profils illustres en fig. 6 et 7. Fig. 6 and 7 illustrate the application of the invention to the operation of screws of the hexagon socket type. Each screwdriver bit comprises in such a case a head 23 axially hollowed out at 23a in order to receive a conventional operating key, and a lower part 33 which is no longer in the form of a hollow cap as in FIG. 1 to 5, but under that of a solid body with a generally frustoconical profile, integral with an axial extension 33a with a hexagonal profile in order to be able to cooperate with the drive cavity of conventional hexagon socket screws. The initiation of rupture consists of a groove 43 which can affect in section one or the other of the profiles illustrated in FIG. 6 and 7.

Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précede n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents.  It should also be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
