Abstract

The drawing compasses have two pivoted branches, one with a point about which the compasses pivot, and the other with a holder for a pencil or lead which traces the arc or circle. The pivot point has a rotatable rounded tip (7) on the end of a spindle (8) set in a fixed body (9). The tip is covered partly or completely with a non-slip surface which is placed at the centre of the arc or circle to be drawn.Each branch has a mechanism which ensures that both its points lie perpendicular to the surface on which the drawing is made.

Description

Description
Pointe de compas de sécurité
Domaine technique : instruments de dessin de précision - compas
La présente invention porte sur la pointe de compas, constituant l'axe de rotation de l'instrument.Description
Safety compass tip
Technical area: precision drawing instruments - compass
The present invention relates to the compass tip, constituting the axis of rotation of the instrument.

Le problème technique posé est celui de la pointe acérée dont étaient dotés tous les compas ; ce qui présentait le double inconvénient d'un danger manifeste en particulier pour les jeunes utilisateurs et de la perforation du papier pouvant constituer une gêne pour le dessinateur.The technical problem posed is that of the sharp point with which all the compasses were fitted; which had the double disadvantage of a manifest danger in particular for young users and of the perforation of the paper which could constitute a nuisance for the designer.

La solution proposée : le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier au danger et à l'inconvénient exposés ci-dessus en dotant le compas d'une pointe de sécurité, de forme totalement ou partiellement sphérique qui constitue le centre du cercle ou de l'arc de cercle à tracer, la stabilité de l'instrument et la précision de son tracé étant assurées par la surface antidérapante de la sphère du fait du matériau dont elle est constituée, du traitement ou du revêtement de sa surface.The solution proposed: the device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy the danger and the disadvantage exposed above by providing the compass with a safety tip, of totally or partially spherical shape which constitutes the center of the circle or of the 'arc of a circle to be traced, the stability of the instrument and the precision of its tracing being ensured by the non-slip surface of the sphere due to the material of which it is made, the treatment or coating of its surface.

Divers modes de fixation de la sphère ou portion de sphère constitutive de la pointe de sécurité du compas sont proposés ils en assurent la mobilité dans le plan perpendiculaire à la branche supportant cette sphère. La sphère ou portion de sphère est mobile autour d'un axe ou à l'intérieur d'une orbite de laquelle elle affleure ; I'axe ou l'orbite la maintenant à l'extrémité de la branche de l'instrument.Various methods of fixing the sphere or portion of sphere constituting the safety tip of the compass are proposed, they ensure its mobility in the plane perpendicular to the branch supporting this sphere. The sphere or portion of sphere is mobile around an axis or inside an orbit of which it is flush; The axis or orbit holding it at the end of the branch of the instrument.

Le maniement de l'instrument reste celui du compas traditionnel, à pointe perforante.The handling of the instrument remains that of the traditional compass, with a piercing tip.

Applications: le nouvel instrument apportera une plus grande sécurité à ses jeunes utilisateurs, en particulier les écoliers. II pourrait également se révéler fort utile au dessinateur lorsqu'il souhaite éviter de perforer le support sur lequel il travaille. Applications: the new instrument will provide greater security for its young users, especially schoolchildren. It could also prove to be very useful to the designer when he wishes to avoid perforating the support on which he is working.
