Abstract

Device for holding linen or any other object generally placed on a line which is stretched out for this purpose. The invention relates to a device for hanging linen or photographic films or for more or less provisionally holding objects to each other or in hanging positions. It consists of two identical opposing pieces held in place transversely by the ribs 1 and 2 and held apart by the arch end 9. Having no spring, the spring being replaced by an arch 6 whose play is limited by abutment against the rib 1, this peg may advantageously be made by plastic injection. The device of the invention is particularly intended for provisional or brief hanging or holding purposes.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour maintenir le linge ou tout autre objet à sécher, généralement placé sur un fil tendu à cet effet. The present invention relates to a device for holding the linen or any other object to be dried, generally placed on a thread stretched for this purpose.

Le maintien en place, notamment du linge et des films photographiques, est traditionnellement assuré par des pinces à ressort metallique qui ont les inconvénients majeurs, de laisser parfois des traces de rouille lorsque la galvanisation tend à disparaître, de pincer le linge jusqu'à sa détérioration quand l'utilisateur n'a pas pris soin de limiter le positionnement de la pince à la partie creuse prévue pour le maintien du linge. The holding in place, in particular of the linen and photographic films, is traditionally ensured by metal spring clips which have the major drawbacks, sometimes leaving traces of rust when the galvanization tends to disappear, pinching the linen until its deterioration when the user has not taken care to limit the positioning of the clamp to the hollow part provided for holding the laundry.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet deux pièces identiques qui assemblées ont l'aspect général rappelant celui des pinces traditionnelles. Sans ressort métallique, le dispositif est caractérisé par le fait, qu'étant avantageusement réalisé par injection plastique, chacune des branches de la pince comporte une voute qui en association forment le ressort. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It indeed comprises two identical parts which assembled have the general appearance recalling that of the traditional pliers. Without a metal spring, the device is characterized in that, being advantageously produced by plastic injection, each of the branches of the clamp has a vault which, in association, forms the spring.

Le maintien en place des pièces est assuré intrinsèquement par leurs particularités techniques, tant en ce qui concerne le désacouplement arrière que latéral. Ce maintien est réalisé latéralement par des nervures et l'agencement de leur position, leur donnant ainsi la double fonction de renfort et de butée. L'antiglissement arrière étant assuré par le sommet de la voute d'une part, la surface de la pièce opposée faisant appui sur elle et servant en partie de levier d'autre part, ainsi que l'élément du bout de la voute enclenché dans la pièce opposée et qui sera avantageusement un assemblage en queue d'aronde ou demi-cylindrique. La limitation de l'ouverture, afin de ne pas solliciter le matériau au delà de ses résistances d'élasticité peut être assuré par les nervures qui viennent en butée contre la partie opposée.Il est à noter que la partie basse de la pince, destinée à maintenir serré l'objet à sécher, est limité par la voute, évitant en cela toute déterioration de l'objet, film ou linge.Keeping the parts in place is intrinsically ensured by their technical particularities, as regards both rear and lateral uncoupling. This support is achieved laterally by ribs and the arrangement of their position, thus giving them the double function of reinforcement and stop. The rear anti-slip being ensured by the top of the arch on the one hand, the surface of the opposite piece pressing on it and serving in part as a lever, as well as the element of the end of the arch engaged in the opposite part and which will advantageously be a dovetail or semi-cylindrical assembly. The limitation of the opening, in order not to stress the material beyond its elastic resistance, can be ensured by the ribs which abut against the opposite part. It should be noted that the lower part of the clamp, intended to keep the object to dry tight, is limited by the vault, thereby avoiding any deterioration of the object, film or linen.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférentielle, les nervures sont au nombre de deux et l'espace entre les nervures est légèrement supérieur à leur épaisseur. La voute pourra comporter des raccordements au reste de la pièce avec des angles arrondis évitant ainsi les amorces de cassure. According to a preferred embodiment, there are two ribs and the space between the ribs is slightly greater than their thickness. The vault may have connections to the rest of the room with rounded angles, thus avoiding the beginnings of breakage.

La figure 1 représente, en perspective, l'une des deux pièces identiques. Figure 1 shows, in perspective, one of two identical parts.

La figure 2 représente, en perspective, le montage des deux pièces après accouplement au montage. Figure 2 shows, in perspective, the assembly of the two parts after coupling to the assembly.

La pièce représentée sur la figure 1 comporte deux nervures (1) et (2) perpendiculaires au plan de saisie ergonomique (3) et réparties à l'arrière de ce plan de manière à laisser les passages (4) et (5) des nervures de la pièce identique qui viendra en opposition. A l'embase des nervures, la voute (6) sensiblement voisine de la moitié de la largeur de la pièce a une courbe (7) telle que, lors de l'accouplement avec la pièce en opposition et le contact de la partie de serrage (8) des objets à maintenir, son élasticité soit suffisamment sollicitée pour assurer un bon pincement. En bout de voute, l'élément d'antiglissement arrière (9), avantageusement en queue d'aronde ou demi-cylindrique, pourra être d'une largeur inférieure à celle de la voute elle-même.Des stries (10) peuvent accentuer l'effet du pincement de la partie (8) de la pince prévue à cet effet et qu'une nervure (11) peut venir avantageusement rigidifier. The part shown in Figure 1 has two ribs (1) and (2) perpendicular to the ergonomic gripping plane (3) and distributed at the rear of this plane so as to leave the passages (4) and (5) of the ribs of the identical piece which will come in opposition. At the base of the ribs, the arch (6) substantially close to half the width of the part has a curve (7) such that, during coupling with the opposing part and the contact of the clamping part (8) of the objects to be maintained, its elasticity is sufficiently stressed to ensure good pinching. At the end of the arch, the rear anti-slip element (9), advantageously in a dovetail or semi-cylindrical shape, may be of a width that is less than that of the arch itself. the effect of pinching the part (8) of the clamp provided for this purpose and that a rib (11) can advantageously stiffen.

Dans l'assemblage représenté en figure 2, l'emboîtement des pièces identiques est mis en évidence. La prise ergonomique (3) peut comporter avantageusment un moyen quelconque (12) évitant tout glissement des doigts, et son prolongement (13) être une nervure de consolidation raccordée au point de forçage (14) de l'emboîture (15) de l'embout de voute (9), et de l'autre côté de ce dernier de la voute (6). L es dégagements (16) peuvent permettre, outre la consolidation des nervures (1), (2) et (13), la réalisation avantageuse de butées de limitation d'ouverture des parties de pincement (8). La partie basse (17) de la nervure (1) fait avantageusment appui sur la voute (6) en permettant une meilleure répartition des forces en réaction et en ménageant ltemboiture (15) et l'embout de voute (9). In the assembly shown in Figure 2, the nesting of identical parts is highlighted. The ergonomic grip (3) can advantageously include any means (12) preventing any sliding of the fingers, and its extension (13) being a consolidation rib connected to the forcing point (14) of the socket (15) of the arch cap (9), and on the other side of the latter of the arch (6). The clearances (16) can allow, in addition to the consolidation of the ribs (1), (2) and (13), the advantageous production of stops limiting the opening of the nipping parts (8). The lower part (17) of the rib (1) is advantageously supported on the arch (6) by allowing a better distribution of the forces in reaction and by sparing the socket (15) and the arch end (9).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à maintenir le linge accroché au fil de séchage ou tout autre objet, tels les films photographiques, ou encore à assembler et maintenir plus ou moins provisoirement des objets entre eux. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to keep the laundry hanging on the drying thread or any other object, such as photographic films, or even to assemble and more or less temporarily hold objects together.
