Abstract

The item consists of a small rod (2) whose end (5) is fixed or moulded to a nail or a tack (1). When the nail is hammered into a fixture (3), the fingers are kept clear and the rod (2) breaks off from the nail (1) at the weak fixing point (5) as the rod is progressively bent.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de mise en place et de maintien. The present invention relates to a device for positioning and holding.

Traditionnellement pour planter un clou (pointe ou semence), il faut se munir d'un marteau d'un clou et utiliser ses doigts pour maintenir le clou en place. Traditionally to plant a nail (point or seed), you have to bring a hammer with a nail and use your fingers to hold the nail in place.

Cette manipulation entraîne des risques de blessure. This manipulation involves the risk of injury.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.

Le clou (1) est fixé ou moulé au bout de la tige de maintien (2). Cette tige permet de placer et de tenir le clou en position verticale sur le support (3). The nail (1) is fixed or molded at the end of the retaining rod (2). This rod makes it possible to place and hold the nail in a vertical position on the support (3).

En frappant avec le marteau sur le clou (1) on enfonce celui-ci dans son support.By striking with the hammer on the nail (1) we drive it into its support.

Lorsque l'utilisateur maintien de ses doigt la tige (2) et guide de l'extrémité son clou fixé ou moulé. When the user holds the rod (2) with his finger and guides his fixed or molded nail at the end.

La liaison (5) entre le clou et la tige est de faible épaisseur. The connection (5) between the nail and the rod is thin.

Lorsque le clou (1) est suffisamment enfoncé par le marteau dans son support (3) la tige (2) vient en contact avec le support (3), s'incline et se détache du clou (1), (figure 2a) ; on peut aussi si on le désire la détacher du clou (1) par mouvement de "va et vient" (figure 2 a et b).When the nail (1) is sufficiently driven by the hammer in its support (3) the rod (2) comes into contact with the support (3), tilts and detaches from the nail (1), (Figure 2a); it is also possible, if desired, to detach it from the nail (1) by "back and forth" movement (FIG. 2 a and b).

Dans la variante représentée sur la figure (3) le dispositif de maintien (4) en comporte plusieurs tiges au bout de chacune desquelles est fixé ou moulé un clou (1). In the variant shown in Figure (3) the holding device (4) comprises several rods at the end of each of which is fixed or molded a nail (1).

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

Claims

CLAIMS 1) Device for holding a nail in place, characterized in that it consists of a rod (2), at the end of which is fixed or molded a nail (1).

2) Device according to claim "1" characterized by a thin connection (5) between the nail and the rod.

3) Device according to one of the preceding claims characterized in that when the nail (1) is driven by a hammer into its support (3), the rod (2) comes into contact with the support (3), tilts and the connection (5) between the nail (1) and the rod (2) is broken.

4) Device according to any one of claims 1 to 2 characterized in that during the driving of the nail (1) by a hammer in its support (3), detach the nail (1) by a movement of and comes the retaining rod (2).
