Abstract

The adjuster consists of a housing (1), which is fixed onto the piece of furniture that encloses the locking mechanism of the foot. This is in the form of a lever (3) held by a compression spring (4), both of which are traversed by the adjustable foot (5). The top of the foot contains a stop and the base is in the form of a concave surface (8) so that it is able to stand on an incline. The foot (5) is guided vertically in a sleeve (6).

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de régler trèsThe present invention relates to a device for adjusting very

rapidement en un seul mouvement de réglage le ou les pieds d'un objet à supporter afin de lui donner une  quickly in a single adjustment movement the foot (s) of an object to be supported in order to give it a

position voulue quel que soit l'état de surface en contact.  desired position whatever the surface condition in contact.

Le réglage de ces pieds mobiles sont le plus traditionnellement bloqués par vis de réglage ce qui nécessite d'avoir à sa proximité un outillage approprié, cela demande aussi  The adjustment of these movable feet are most traditionally blocked by adjustment screws, which requires having suitable tools in the vicinity, this also requires

une durée de pose pour l'ajustement.  an exposure time for adjustment.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient, lorsque l'utilisateur voudra régler un objet de niveau ou alors lui donner un plan incliné (exemple tabouret, table), l'utilisateur fera pression sur le levier de blocage afin de rendre libre de mouvement le pied mobile venant en contact avec le sol. L'utilisateur pourra régler chaque pied indépendamment ou au contraire simultanément à l'aide d'une commande interposée, celle-ci agissant en même temps sur les leviers de blocage, ceux-ci opposant une faible résistance à l'effort de pression. Le rappel du levier de blocage est assuré par un ressort de pression. Le dispositif comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un boitier qui sera fixé sur l'objet, celui-ci renfermant le système de blocage qui sera lui-même traversé par un pied mobile, ainsi lorsque l'utilisateur actionnera le levier de blocage, celui-ci deviendra libre  The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback, when the user wants to adjust a level object or give it an inclined plane (example stool, table), the user will press the locking lever to make free movement with the movable foot coming into contact with the ground The user can adjust each foot independently or, on the contrary, simultaneously by means of an interposed control, this acting at the same time on the locking levers, these opposing a low resistance to the pressure force. The locking lever is returned by a pressure spring. According to a first characteristic, the device indeed comprises a box which will be fixed on the object, the latter enclosing the blocking system which will itself be crossed by a movable foot, thus when the user actuates the blocking lever, that -this will become free

pour être réglé.to be set.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation Le pied autobloquant se constitue de deux parties égales: - une partie creuse (boîtier) o est incorporé le dispositif de blocage - une partie mobile en ce qui est le pied d'appui Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention  According to particular embodiments The self-locking foot consists of two equal parts: - a hollow part (housing) where the locking device is incorporated - a movable part in what is the support foot The attached drawing illustrates the invention

La figure 1 représente une coupe partielle du dispositif en position bloquée.  Figure 1 shows a partial section of the device in the locked position.

En référence à ce dessin, le dispositif comporte un boîtier (1) muni de trous de fixation (2), un dispositif de blocage représenté par un levier (3) articulé sur le boîtier (1) et maintenu en pression par un ressort (4), ceux-ci traversés par un pied mobile (5) et orienté  With reference to this drawing, the device comprises a housing (1) provided with fixing holes (2), a blocking device represented by a lever (3) articulated on the housing (1) and maintained in pressure by a spring (4 ), these crossed by a movable foot (5) and oriented

par un guide (6), une butée (7) retiendra le pied mobile.  by a guide (6), a stop (7) will hold the movable foot.

La longueur du boîtier (1) est égale à la longueur du pied mobile (5) afin que celui-ci  The length of the housing (1) is equal to the length of the movable foot (5) so that it

puisse s'insérer dedans.can fit into it.

Le guide (6) doit avoir une hauteur suffisante pour maintenir droit le pied mobile (5)  The guide (6) must have a sufficient height to keep the movable foot (5) straight

afin que celui-ci puisse coulisser sans aucun frottement.  so that it can slide without any friction.

Le trou du levier de blocage (3) devra avoir un ange d'attaque suffisant pour permettre  The hole of the locking lever (3) must have a sufficient attack angel to allow

une bonne retenue du pied mobile (5) et donner une inclinaison au levier de blocage (3).  good retention of the movable foot (5) and give an inclination to the locking lever (3).

Une partie concave (8) assurera une meilleure retenue du pied mobile (5) lorsque celui-ci  A concave part (8) will ensure better retention of the movable foot (5) when it

reposera sur un plan incliné.will rest on an inclined plane.

Ce dispositif pourra être réalisé de différentes tailles et d'une résistance proportionnelle pour la charge à supporter. Des adaptations pour le rendre repliable sur l'objet pourront être ajoutées ainsi que des modes de fixations sur la partie fixe. On pourra aussi apporté des  This device can be produced in different sizes and with a proportional resistance for the load to be supported. Adaptations to make it foldable on the object can be added as well as fixing methods on the fixed part. We can also bring

embouts différents à la base du pied mobile venant en contact avec le sol.  different tips at the base of the movable foot coming into contact with the ground.
