Abstract

Device has optical lens marked with reference cross- hairs (A) and lines marking equal distances (B) calculated using an optical transformation of the lens. The lens can be marked, printed or glued with colored and opaque areas. Alternately as an opto-electronic device it can have an electronic camera or laser device. Lens can have a handle for holding.

Description

-1 - La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour effectuer des-1 - The present invention relates to a device for performing

mesures relatives de distances entre des sphères, utilisées dans des jeux tels que les jeux de boules (pétanque, boule lyonnaise, jeu de billes...) Le dispositif breveté dans ce document consiste en toute association d'une lentille optique (ou un ensemble de lentilles optiques) et d'un dispositif de marquage constitué d'un repère de référence et de lignes marquant les iso-distances calculées par rapport à la transformation optique apportée par la lentille. Ce dispositif de marquage  relative measurements of distances between spheres, used in games such as ball games (pétanque, lyonnaise ball, ball game ...) The device patented in this document consists of any association of an optical lens (or a set of optical lenses) and of a marking device consisting of a reference mark and lines marking the iso-distances calculated with respect to the optical transformation provided by the lens. This marking device

peut être physiquement ou virtuellement rattaché à cette lentille.  can be physically or virtually attached to this lens.

Le principe de ce dispositif (et outils dérivés) est basé sur l'utilisation d'une lentille optique (concave, convexe, cylindrique, sphérique et toute combinaison d'entre  The principle of this device (and derived tools) is based on the use of an optical lens (concave, convex, cylindrical, spherical and any combination of

elle) permettant l'ouverture du champ visuel.  it) allowing the opening of the visual field.

A cette lentille, un dispositif de repérage graphique est associé. Ce dispositif peut être gravé, imprimé ou collé sur la lentille ou être rapporté par tout dispositif d'incrustation physique (marquage) ou optoélectronique (caméra avec incrustation électronique d'images, laser). Ce dernier permet d'indiquer les iso distances par rapport  With this lens, a graphic tracking device is associated. This device can be engraved, printed or glued to the lens or be reported by any physical inlay (marking) or optoelectronic device (camera with electronic inlay of images, laser). The latter is used to indicate the iso distances from

à un point de référence (réfentiel de la mesure).  at a reference point (measurement repository).

La lentille est constituée de tout matériaux solide transparent plein ou évidé pouvant contenir un gaz ou un liquide. Cette lentille pourra être incolore ou colorée  The lens is made of any solid solid transparent or hollow material which may contain a gas or a liquid. This lens may be colorless or colored

(Fig. 1).(Fig. 1).

A cette lentille est associé un marquage (Fig.2). Ce marquage est constitué: - d'un repère de visée servant de référence (A). Ce repère est situé par rapport au centre ou à tout autre endroit de la lentille en fonction de la forme de cette dernière ou de la nécessité d'excentrer cette référence;  This lens is associated with a marking (Fig. 2). This marking consists of: - an aiming marker serving as a reference (A). This reference is located relative to the center or any other place of the lens according to the shape of the latter or the need to offset this reference;

- de lignes de contours (B) indiquant les iso distances par rapport au référentiel.  - contour lines (B) indicating the iso distances from the reference frame.

Plusieurs repères et lignes de contours peuvent être présents de façon permanente ou alternative par changement de marquage ou de support de marquage. Dans le cas d'un dispositif optoélectronique de marquage, ce changement se fera par changement du motif d'incrustation. A titre d'exemple la figure 3. présente un autre type de marquage. Plus particulièrement le dispositif décrit par le schéma (fig3), permet la mesure relative des distances: - La mesure de distance s'effectue en positionnant le repère de référence (A) au dessus du point de référence servant à la mesure. La lentille est maintenue parallele au plan  Several markers and contour lines may be present permanently or alternatively by changing the marking or the marking medium. In the case of an optoelectronic marking device, this change will be made by changing the overlay pattern. For example, Figure 3. shows another type of marking. More particularly the device described by the diagram (fig3), allows the relative measurement of distances: - The distance measurement is carried out by positioning the reference mark (A) above the reference point used for the measurement. The lens is held parallel to the plane

support (horizontale si le plan est horizontal).  support (horizontal if the plane is horizontal).

La mesure des différentes sphères (boules, billes) (C) dans le champs visuel à -2- partir de ce repère dans le champ par positionnement relatif des objets par rapport au  The measurement of the different spheres (balls, balls) (C) in the visual field from -2- from this reference in the field by relative positioning of the objects relative to the

lignes d'iso-distance (B).iso-distance lines (B).

L'ajustement du champs visuel se fait par évolution perpendiculaire de la lentille par rapport au plan support, tout en gardant centré le point de référence (A) dans le repère de la lentille. A titre de variante, les plans support et de référence de la lentille peuvent ne pas  The visual field is adjusted by the perpendicular evolution of the lens with respect to the support plane, while keeping the reference point (A) centered in the lens reference frame. Alternatively, the support and reference planes of the lens may not

être parallèle et le déplacement peut ne pas être perpendiculaire. Les lignes d'iso-  be parallel and the displacement may not be perpendicular. The lines of iso-

distances seront définies de façon adéquate par rapport à cette géométrie.  distances will be adequately defined with respect to this geometry.

A ce dispositif de mesure optique peut-être associé tout dispositif visuel et/ou électronique de mesure de niveau (niveau à bulle, inclinomètre optique ou électronique)  This visual measurement device can be associated with any visual and / or electronic level measurement device (spirit level, optical or electronic inclinometer)

de façon à indiquer la planitude du dispositif lors de la mesure.  so as to indicate the planitude of the device during the measurement.

Pour les différentes applications, ce dispositif pourra être muni d'un ou plusieurs manches pour le rendre portable et ergonomique, de pieds et de supports adapté aux différentes utilisations, exemple (Fig.5). Ces pieds pourront notamment être  For different applications, this device could be provided with one or more handles to make it portable and ergonomic, feet and supports adapted to different uses, for example (Fig.5). These feet could in particular be
