Abstract

The unit consists of a ball and socket multidirectional attachment for fitting domestic articles onto handles. It has a threaded primary end (9), a clamping body (1) with a clamping nut (2), and an opening between clamping jaws (4). A ball joint (5) is connected by a shaft (10) to a second threaded end (6). The angle between the body (3) and the shaft (10) of the object attains 90 degrees in all planes and can be clamped by the clamping nut on the jaws.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne une articulation à rotule multidirectionnelle, indépendante, pour articles d'entretien emmanchables.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to an independent multidirectional ball joint for pluggable maintenance articles.

Les systèmes existants ne s'articulent à 90" que dans un seul plan ou sont limités pour les modèles multidirectionnels à inclinaison inférieure, d'autres imposent l'emploi d'articles spéciaux.Existing systems are articulated at 90 "in only one plane or are limited for multidirectional models with lower inclination, others require the use of special articles.

Le dispositif selon l'invention remédie à ces inconvénients. I1 comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique une rotule, cette rotule peut être positionnée par l'utilisateur entre o e et 90- dans n'importe quel plan nécessité par l'utilisation recherchée, un écrou permet ensuite de bloquer la rotule dans la position choisie.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. I1 indeed has according to a first characteristic a ball joint, this ball joint can be positioned by the user between oe and 90- in any plane required by the desired use, a nut then makes it possible to block the ball joint in the chosen position .

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - le dispositif peut être prévu pour l'un quelconque des embouts filetés des manches actuellement vendus dans le commerce d'articles de ménage - le dispositif peut être prévu pour l'un quelconque des trous filetés des articles d'entretien ménager emmanchables tels que balais, laveponts, raclettes, brosses à peindre, etc.According to particular embodiments - the device can be provided for any of the threaded ends of the handles currently sold in the trade in household articles - the device can be provided for any of the threaded holes of the articles of pluggable housekeeping such as brooms, bridge washers, squeegees, paint brushes, etc.

- le dispositif est indépendant en ce qu'il n'oblige pas l'utilisation d'un manche ou d'une fixation d'articles nouveaux par rapport aux manches ou articles actuellement sur le marché.- The device is independent in that it does not oblige the use of a handle or a fixing of new articles compared to the handles or articles currently on the market.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1/2 représente le dispositif isolé en position droite.Figure 1/2 shows the device isolated in an upright position.

La figure 2/2 représente le dispositif en utilisation inclinée avec un balai 1/2 tête.Figure 2/2 shows the device in inclined use with a 1/2 head brush.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un corps fileté (1) avec une extrémité alésée où vient se loger le manche (7). A l'autre extrémité se situent des mâchoires de serrage (3) séparées par une ouverture (4). Un écrou (2) vient par vissage rapprocher les mâchoires sur la rotule proprement dite (5). Cette rotule est solidaire d'un embout fileté (6) capable de se visser dans un article de ménage, ici un balai 1/2 tête (8) à titre d'exemple non limitatif.With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a threaded body (1) with a reamed end where the handle (7) is housed. At the other end are clamping jaws (3) separated by an opening (4). A nut (2) comes by screwing bring the jaws closer to the ball itself (5). This ball joint is integral with a threaded end (6) capable of being screwed into a household item, here a 1/2 head brush (8) by way of nonlimiting example.

Les différentes pièces sont réalisables en matières d'injection par moulage.The different parts are available in injection molding materials.

Selon une variante non illustrée, le dispositif peut-être inversé, le filet (6) pourrait être interne et recevoir le manche (7) et le filet (9) pourrait être externe et s'intégrer dans l'article.According to a variant not illustrated, the device can be reversed, the net (6) could be internal and receive the handle (7) and the net (9) could be external and be integrated into the article.

Selon une autre réalisation de la variante précédente, le dispositif peut avoir des filets différents aux deux extrêmités (9) et (6).According to another embodiment of the previous variant, the device can have different threads at the two ends (9) and (6).

Selon une autre variante non illustrée, l'extrémité introduite dans l'article de ménage n'a pas de filet, mais est fixée en force ou collée.According to another variant not illustrated, the end introduced into the household article does not have a thread, but is fixed in force or glued.

Selon une autre variante non illustrée, la rotule peut être moulée avec le corps de l'article de ménage.According to another variant not illustrated, the ball joint can be molded with the body of the household article.

Outre la libre rotation autour de la rotule, la position extrême d'inclinaison à 90' est obtenue par le passage de l'axe de la boule (10) dans l'ouverture (4) avant serrage.In addition to the free rotation around the ball joint, the extreme position of inclination at 90 'is obtained by the passage of the axis of the ball (10) in the opening (4) before tightening.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à articuler des articles de ménages emmanchables, dans toutes positions par rapport à l'axe de leur manche et à élargir ainsi les champs d'applications ménagères ou semi-professionnelles de ces articles. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to articulate pluggable household articles, in all positions relative to the axis of their handle and thus to widen the fields of household or semi-professional applications of these articles.
