Abstract

Relatively thick ring broken by at least one radial split determining two radial regions 2 and 3' facing each other and between which the object to be trapped in the ring can be passed. Ring characterised in that its closure means consist of an appendage 4 comprising a body 5, a neck 6 and a head 7 (formed from a cylindrical portion 8 surmounted by a frustoconical portion 9) and of a hollowing 11' comprising a first housing 14 emerging in the region 3 and a second housing 13 having the same axis 16 emerging at 12 on the external periphery of the ring, the two housings 13 and 14 communicating via their bottom and determining a chamfered rib 15 of a diameter which is adapted to allow the head 7 to pass by force from one housing to the other. Application especially to fishing articles.

Description

L invention eonce1ne les anneaux dits brisés, comportant au moins une fente pour leur mise en place autour d'un objet, ou leur retrait. Cet objet peut etre un fil de pêche. The invention eonce1ne the so-called broken rings, comprising at least one slot for their placement around an object, or their removal. This object can be a fishing line.

Dans les anneaw de ce type, les bords de la fente sont écart tables pour laisser le passage au fil, permettant son emprisonnement à l'intérieur de l'anneau, ou au contraire sa libération. Actuellement, on utilise beaucoup d'anneaux brisés dans le domaine de la pêche, mais on peut aussi les utiliser dans d'autres domaines, notamment dans les porteclefs. Ces anneaux n'ont pas de contr6le de leur fermeture, la fente peut incidemment s'entr' ouvrir et le fil risque de s'échapper. Pour éviter ces risques, les anneaux ont un puissant effet ressort et, plus ils sont gros, plus ils sont difficiles à manipuler et longs à mettre en place. De plus, les anneaux métalliques créent des bruits gênants pendant la pêche. In anneaws of this type, the edges of the slot are spread tables to allow passage to the wire, allowing its imprisonment inside the ring, or on the contrary its release. Currently, many broken rings are used in the fishing industry, but they can also be used in other fields, notably in the key rings. These rings have no control over their closing, the slot can incidentally open up and the thread may escape. To avoid these risks, the rings have a powerful spring effect and the larger they are, the more they are difficult to handle and take a long time to set up. In addition, the metal rings create annoying noises during fishing.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et a pour objet un anneau relativement épais comprenant au moins une fente radiale, déterminant deux plages d'extrémité se faisant face et entre lesquelles on peut faire passer l'objet à libérer ou à emprisonner dans l'an- neau, anneau caractérisé en ce que les plages d'extrémités comportent des moyens mécaniques les retenant face à face et en ce que ces moyens comprennent au moins un appendice traversant la fente. Ainsi l'anneau comporte une double sécurité, drune part un verrouillage solidarise les deux extrémités écartables de la fente, et d'autre part l'appendice barre la fente transversalement, empochant ainsi tout risque de passage non désiré de l'objet dans la fente. The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and relates to a relatively thick ring comprising at least one radial slot, determining two end areas facing each other and between which the object to be released or imprisoned can be passed in the ring, ring characterized in that the end pads comprise mechanical means holding them face to face and in that these means comprise at least one appendage passing through the slot. Thus the ring has a double security, firstly a locking secures the two separable ends of the slot, and secondly the appendage bars the slot transversely, thus pocketing any risk of unwanted passage of the object into the slot .

Les moyens mécaniques de retenues sont avantageusement de type mble et femelle. L'appendice part d'une plage, tandis qu'une creusure est prévue dans la plage lui faisant face, de telle manière que l'appendice puisse oestre enfoncé à force et retenu dans la creusure. The mechanical retaining means are advantageously of the female and female type. The appendix starts from a beach, while a recess is provided in the beach facing it, in such a way that the appendage can be forced down and retained in the recess.

Des anneaux conformes à l'invention sont fabriqués en matière plastique légèrement élastique. Rings according to the invention are made of slightly elastic plastic.

Dans un premier exemple, anneau est constitué de deux demi anneaux complètement séparables l'un de l'autre. In a first example, the ring consists of two half rings that are completely separable from each other.

Fig. 1 représente ces demi-anneaux. Fig. 1 shows these half-rings.

Fig. 2 montre llexcentrage des axes des noyons d'accouplement. Fig. 2 shows the centering of the axes of the coupling cores.

Le demi-anneau 1 comporte des plages terminales 2 et 3 situées dans un même plan passant par le centre de lármeau terminé. De la plage 2 ddpasse l'appendice 4 constitué par un corps 5, un cou 6 une tête 7 formée d'une partie cylindrique 8 surmontée d'une partie tronconique 9. The half-ring 1 has terminal areas 2 and 3 located in the same plane passing through the center of the finished die. From range 2 ddpends appendix 4 constituted by a body 5, a neck 6 a head 7 formed by a cylindrical part 8 surmounted by a frustoconical part 9.

Dans l'exemple de ia Fig. 1, l'axe 10 de lsappendice 4 est perpendiculaire à la surface 2 et légèrement excentré. Dans la plage 3 est perce un trou 11 perpendiculairement à cette surface et débouchant en 12 à la périphérie extérieure du demi-anneau 1. Ce trou 11 a été creusé de façon à former deux logements 13 et 14 séparés par une nervure 15 chanfreinée du c8té de la surface 3. L'axe 16 du trou 11 est perpendiculaire à la surface 2 et légèrement excentré vers l'intérieur ainsi que le montre la Fig.In the example of ia Fig. 1, the axis 10 of the appendix 4 is perpendicular to the surface 2 and slightly eccentric. In the area 3 is drilled a hole 11 perpendicular to this surface and emerging at 12 at the outer periphery of the half-ring 1. This hole 11 has been dug so as to form two housings 13 and 14 separated by a chamfered rib 15 of the c8té of the surface 3. The axis 16 of the hole 11 is perpendicular to the surface 2 and slightly eccentric inward as shown in FIG.

2.2.

On comprend aisément que deux demi-anneaux 1 et 1' tels que décrits peuvent être fixés l'un dans l'autre pour former un anneau complet. Pour cela, il suffit de présenter un appendice 4' face à une creusure 11 d'un cOté, et l'inverse de l'autre c3té, puis d'appuyer pour que la tête 7 et la tête 7' de chaque appendice dépasse la nervure correspondante 15 et 15' et se trouve prisonnière. It is easily understood that two half-rings 1 and 1 ′ as described can be fixed one inside the other to form a complete ring. For this, it suffices to present an appendage 4 ′ facing a recess 11 on one side, and the reverse of the other side, then to press so that the head 7 and the head 7 ′ of each appendage exceeds the corresponding rib 15 and 15 'and is trapped.

Une fois verrouillé, l'anneau ne peut plus être ouvert, que ce soit de façon accidentelle ou involontaire, par exemple en tirant sur les deux demi-anneaux. Once locked, the ring can no longer be opened, either accidentally or unintentionally, for example by pulling on the two half-rings.

Dans cet anneau à deux demi-anneaux 1 et 1', un demi-anneau pourrait avoir des moyens dtaccouplement mâles et l'autre des moyens d'accouplement femelles. In this ring with two half-rings 1 and 1 ′, one half-ring could have male coupling means and the other female coupling means.

De nombreuses variantes de réalisation sont possibles sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, l'anneau peut être à deux éléments comportant une articulation les rendant inséparables et, de l'autre c8té, des moyens d'accouplement complémentaires tels que décrits. Many alternative embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the ring can be of two elements comprising an articulation making them inseparable and, on the other side, complementary coupling means as described.

Suivant une autre variante, l'anneau est réalisé en une matière plastique souple, comportant une seule fente, 11élasticité rempla çant une articulation mécanique. La fente existante permet d'écarter l'or- gane mâle de l'organe femelle et de passer entre eux le fil do pêche ou tout autre objet. According to another variant, the ring is made of a flexible plastic material, comprising a single slot, the elasticity replacing a mechanical articulation. The existing slot makes it possible to separate the male organ from the female organ and to pass between them the fishing line or any other object.
