Abstract
Description
La présente invention a tnait au domaine des systèmes et dispositifs destinés au transversement de liquides. Elle concerne tout particulièrement un nouveau type d'entonnoir qui, grâce a sa conception et sa structure, procure un tres faible encombrement. The present invention relates to the field of systems and devices intended for the transverse transfer of liquids. It particularly relates to a new type of funnel which, thanks to its design and structure, provides a very small footprint.
Les entonnoirs connus jusqu'a présent et réalisés en diverses matieres, notamment matière plastique ou métal dont alliages, ont tous une structure rigide et présentent I'inconvénient d'un encombrement important, vu leur forme, lors du stockage et du transport. A chaque opération de transversement de liquide, il faut donc disposer de l'ustensile adequat, le rechercher, procéder a un lavage et/ou rinçage puis le ranger a nouveau apres l'opération.Compte-tenu de ces opérations fastidieuses, bien souvent l'usager se passe de l'ustensile en cause et effectue le transversement par les moyens du bord, en provoquant généralement des salissures ; c'est le cas, par exemple, de l'automobiliste qui, frèquemment, ne dispose pas d'entonnoir pour des raisons de volume de rangement et de difficulté de nettoyage. The funnels known hitherto and made of various materials, in particular plastic or metal including alloys, all have a rigid structure and have the disadvantage of a large bulk, given their shape, during storage and transport. With each liquid transfer operation, you must therefore have the appropriate utensil, find it, wash and / or rinse it and put it away again after the operation. In view of these tedious operations, very often l 'user does without the utensil in question and performs the transverse by means of the edge, generally causing dirt; this is the case, for example, of the motorist who frequently does not have a funnel for reasons of storage volume and difficulty of cleaning.
L'invention a pour but d'obvier à tous ces inconvénients et de proposer, a cet effet, un entonnoir pliant occupant en position de fermeture un tres faible volume et devenant ainsi apte a être associé, si on le désire, a chaque type de récipient de liquide a transvaser. The object of the invention is to obviate all these drawbacks and to propose, for this purpose, a folding funnel occupying in the closed position a very small volume and thus becoming suitable for being associated, if desired, with each type of container of liquid to be transferred.
Le nouvel entonnoir selon l'invention, formé egalement d'une seule pièce réalisée en un même matériau comme pour les ustensiles conventionnels, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, en alternance, une série de couronnes cylindriques semi-rigides ou rigides de diamètre décroissant ainsi que, en extrémité, un ajutage formant col, et une série de soufflets souples reliant chaquelcouronne et l'ajutage, de façon telle que l'ustensile, une fois replié, se présente sous la forme d'une galette d'épaisseur. correspondant à la couronne de plus grand diamètre. The new funnel according to the invention, also formed in one piece made of the same material as for conventional utensils, is essentially characterized in that it comprises, alternately, a series of semi-rigid or rigid cylindrical crowns of decreasing diameter as well as, at the end, a nozzle forming a neck, and a series of flexible bellows connecting each crown and the nozzle, in such a way that the utensil, once folded, is in the form of a thick wafer . corresponding to the larger diameter crown.
Un mode non limitatif d'exécution sera décrit ci-après par référence aux dessins annexés qui illustrent respectivement :
- Figure 1 : une vue en perspective d'un entonnoir repliable selon
l'invention ;
- Figures 2 et 3 : des vues latérales et de dessus de ce même enton
noir ; et
- Figure 4 : la représentation de l'entonnoir en position de repli
total (fermeture). A non-limiting embodiment will be described below with reference to the appended drawings which illustrate respectively:
- Figure 1: a perspective view of a folding funnel according to
the invention;
- Figures 2 and 3: side and top views of this same enton
black; and
- Figure 4: the representation of the funnel in the folded position
total (closing).
Comme on peut le voir sur ces figures, l'ustensile est compose d'une succession d'anneaux relativement rigides 1, 2, 3 de diamètre décroissant et qui sont relies entre eux par les éléments souples 4, 5, 5 aptes a se replier comme des soufflets, le dernier de ces éléments assurant la liaison avec le col 7 de l'entonnoir. As can be seen in these figures, the utensil is composed of a succession of relatively rigid rings 1, 2, 3 of decreasing diameter and which are connected together by the flexible elements 4, 5, 5 able to fold back like bellows, the last of these elements ensuring the connection with the neck 7 of the funnel.
Conformément a l'invention, une excellente étanchéité est assurée par le fait que les anneaux (ou couronnes) et les soufflets sont realisés d'une seule pièce dans le même matériau, préférentiellement en matière plastique, comme par exemple en polyolefine, chlorure de polyvinyle ou tout autre.polymère convenable selon le type d'usage envisagé.En pratique, l'entonnoir peut être réalisé par moulage, injection ou emboutissage en prévoyant pour les couronnes 1, 2, 3 des épaisseurs de l'ordre de 1 a 3 mm par exemple, alors que les;soufflets de liaison 4,-'5, 6 sont réalisés dans la même matière filmogene en des épaisseurs de 0,05 a quelques dixièmes de mm et, en tout cas, telles que la position de repli total, illustree sur la figure 4, s'effectue sans difficulté sous la pression de la main et sans provoquer de déchirures au moins pendant quelques alternances d'ouverture et de fermeture de l'entonnoir. According to the invention, an excellent seal is ensured by the fact that the rings (or crowns) and the bellows are made in one piece from the same material, preferably plastic, such as for example polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride or any other suitable polymer according to the type of use envisaged. In practice, the funnel can be produced by molding, injection or stamping, providing for the crowns 1, 2, 3 thicknesses of the order of 1 to 3 mm for example, while the connecting bellows 4, - '5, 6 are made of the same film-forming material in thicknesses of 0.05 to a few tenths of a mm and, in any case, such as the position of total withdrawal, illustrated in FIG. 4, is carried out without difficulty under the pressure of the hand and without causing tears at least during a few alternations of opening and closing of the funnel.
Bien entendu, le diamètre de l'ouverture totale de l'ustensile ainsi que le nombre de couronnes et soufflets alternée et les hauteurs de chaque serie de ces éléments peuvent varier selon les divers parametres d'utilisation ; lessentiel étant, évidemment, que les plis de fermeture 8 trouvent aisément leur place en forme incurvée entre deux couronnes de diamètre décroissant. En pratique, cependant, il s'avere commode et moins coûteux en moulage ou autre technique equivalente de realisation, de prévoir des hauteurs h sensiblement egales, par exemple comprises entre deux et quatre centimetres pour les éléments alternés precités. Of course, the diameter of the total opening of the utensil as well as the number of alternating crowns and bellows and the heights of each series of these elements can vary according to the various parameters of use; the essential being, obviously, that the closure pleats 8 easily find their place in curved form between two crowns of decreasing diameter. In practice, however, it proves to be convenient and less expensive in molding or other equivalent production technique, to provide heights h substantially equal, for example between two and four centimeters for the above-mentioned alternating elements.
On comprend tout l'intérêt d'un tel entonnoir selon l'invention qui, grace a son encombrement minime, peut être associe, par exemple sous forme de lot avec ustensiles de rechange, au conteneur de iliquide lors de la vente de ce dernier, par exemple en ce qui concerne les bidons d'huile ou jerricans d'essence pour les automobilistes. Toutefois, tous autres usages peuvent, bien entendu, être envisagés. We understand all the interest of such a funnel according to the invention which, thanks to its minimal bulk, can be associated, for example in the form of a batch with spare utensils, with the liquid container when the latter is sold, for example with regard to oil cans or jerry cans of petrol for motorists. However, any other use can, of course, be envisaged.
Dans de nombreux cas d'utilisation, l'entonnoir sera muni, sur tout ou partie de ses éléments encastrables, d'inscription, graphismes et/ou slogans publicitaires correspondant, par exemple, au type de liquide du conteneur auquel sera associé l'ustensile. In many cases of use, the funnel will be provided, on all or part of its built-in elements, with inscription, graphics and / or advertising slogans corresponding, for example, to the type of liquid of the container with which the utensil will be associated. .
