Description

DESCRIPTION
L'invention concerne un dispositif pour faciliter le déplacement de tout type de meubles. DESCRIPTION
The invention relates to a device for facilitating the movement of any type of furniture.

Les dispositifs connus du genre en question mettent en oeuvre un bras de levier servant au soulèvement du meuble concerné et un moyen, indépendant, du type à rouleaux ou à plateau roulant, que l'on place sous ledit meuble et qui sert au déplacement de celui-ci. Known devices of the type in question use a lever arm for lifting the furniture in question and a means, independent, of the roller or rolling plate type, which is placed under said furniture and which is used to move that -this.

De tels dispositifs nécessitent deux produits et engendrent deux opérations impliquant souvent deux personnes et ce indépendamment des aspects liés aux difficultés de guidage lors des déplacements. Such devices require two products and generate two operations often involving two people, regardless of the aspects related to the difficulty of guiding when traveling.

L'invention vise donc à réaliser un dispositif unique, de conception simple et facile à utiliser, qui effectue, en une seule opération, les fonctions de soulèvement et de déplacement des meubles. The invention therefore aims to achieve a unique device, simple and easy to use design, which performs, in a single operation, the functions of lifting and moving furniture.

Il concerne à cet effet un dispositif qui se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte, en coopération, pour soulever puis déplacer un meuble, une platine horizontale apte à être placée sous une partie dudit meuble, un bras de levier apte, par basculement, à soulever ladite platine, donc le meuble en question, et au moins une roue, solidaire dudit bras de levier, apte à déplacer ledit meuble après son soulèvement en manoeuvrant ledit bras. To this end, it relates to a device which is essentially characterized in that it comprises, in cooperation, for lifting and then moving a piece of furniture, a horizontal plate capable of being placed under a part of said piece of furniture, a lever arm capable, by tilting, lifting said plate, therefore the piece of furniture in question, and at least one wheel, integral with said lever arm, capable of moving said piece of furniture after it has been lifted by maneuvering said arm.

Selon des particularités de réalisation de l'invention, le bras de levier comporte une partie montante allongée servant de moyen de manipulation, une partie basse courbe servant de support à ladite roue et de point de pivotement audit bras de levier et une partie courte, qui remonte, servant de support à ladite platine. According to particular embodiments of the invention, the lever arm comprises an elongated rising part serving as a means of manipulation, a low curved part serving as a support for said wheel and as a pivot point for said lever arm and a short part, which rises, serving as a support for said plate.

Les caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention vont apparaître plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'au moins un mode de réalisation préféré de celle-ci donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif et représenté aux dessins annexés. The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of at least one preferred embodiment of the latter given by way of non-limiting example and shown in the accompanying drawings.

Sur ces dessins : - la figure 1 est une vue de profil du dispositif selon l'invention ; - la figure 2 est une vue de dessus dudit dispositif ; - la figure 3 est une vue éclatée de détail partielle dudit dispositif. In these drawings: - Figure 1 is a side view of the device according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a top view of said device; - Figure 3 is an exploded partial detail view of said device.

Le dispositif représenté aux figures comporte, en coopération, pour soulever puis déplacer un meuble (1), une platine horizontale (2) apte à être placée sous une partie dudit meuble, un bras de levier (3) apte, par basculement, à soulever la platine (2), donc le meuble (1), et au moins une roue (4), solidaire dudit bras de levier (3), apte à déplacer ledit meuble après son soulèvement. The device shown in the figures comprises, in cooperation, for lifting and then moving a piece of furniture (1), a horizontal plate (2) able to be placed under a part of said piece of furniture, a lever arm (3) suitable, by tilting, for lifting the plate (2), therefore the piece of furniture (1), and at least one wheel (4), integral with said lever arm (3), able to move said piece of furniture after it has been lifted.

Le bras de levier (3) comporte une partie montante allongée (3A) servant de moyen de manipulation, une partie basse courbe (3B) servant de support à la roue (4) et de point de pivotement audit bras de levier (3) et une partie courte (3C), qui remonte, servant de support à la platine (2). C'est donc l'axe de la roue qui sert d'axe d'articulation au bras de levier. The lever arm (3) comprises an elongated rising part (3A) serving as a means of manipulation, a low curved part (3B) serving as a support for the wheel (4) and as a pivot point for said lever arm (3) and a short part (3C), which rises, serving to support the plate (2). It is therefore the axis of the wheel which serves as an axis of articulation for the lever arm.

Dans la réalisation préférée de l'invention : - les roues (4) sont au nombre de deux et fixées de chaque côté de la partie (3B) du bras de levier (3) au moyen de boulons (5) ; - la platine horizontale (2) est solidaire d'une plaque verticale (6) qui est pourvue d'au moins une perforation (7) servant à la fixation de celle-ci sur la partie (3C), du bras de levier (3), qui est également pourvue d'au moins une perforation (8), au moyen d'un boulon (9). In the preferred embodiment of the invention: - the wheels (4) are two in number and fixed on each side of the part (3B) of the lever arm (3) by means of bolts (5); - The horizontal plate (2) is integral with a vertical plate (6) which is provided with at least one perforation (7) used to fix it on the part (3C) of the lever arm (3 ), which is also provided with at least one perforation (8), by means of a bolt (9).

Dans le cas où la plaque (6) est pourvue de plusieurs perforations (7) et/ou la partie (3C) du bras de levier (3) est pourvue de plusieurs perforations (8), la platine (2) est réglable en hauteur par rapport au sol. In the case where the plate (6) is provided with several perforations (7) and / or the part (3C) of the lever arm (3) is provided with several perforations (8), the plate (2) is adjustable in height relative to the ground.

L'ensemble platine (2) et plaque (6) est monté, libre en rotation, sur la partie (3C) du bras de levier (3) au moyen du boulon (9) et de rondelles (10). The plate (2) and plate (6) assembly is mounted, free to rotate, on the part (3C) of the lever arm (3) by means of the bolt (9) and washers (10).

L'extrémité supérieure de l'élément (3A) du bras de levier (3) comporte deux poignées symétriques (11) pour avoir une meilleure prise et un meilleur équilibre. The upper end of the element (3A) of the lever arm (3) has two symmetrical handles (11) for better grip and better balance.

La platine (2) est recouverte d'un patin (12) de protection et antidérapant. The plate (2) is covered with a pad (12) for protection and non-slip.

Deux rondelles (13) sont placées de chaque côté des roues (4). Two washers (13) are placed on each side of the wheels (4).

Pour faciliter le déplacement d'un meuble, deux dispositifs de ce type peuvent être placés de chaque côté de celui-ci. To facilitate the movement of a piece of furniture, two devices of this type can be placed on each side of it.

Une fois la platine placée sous le meuble, éventuellement après le réglage de sa hauteur, un simple mouvement sur le bras de levier (3) selon la flèche (F1) suffit à le soulever et un simple mouvement selon l'une des flèches (F2) et (F3) suffit à le déplacer dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Once the plate placed under the cabinet, possibly after adjusting its height, a simple movement on the lever arm (3) according to the arrow (F1) is enough to lift it and a simple movement according to one of the arrows (F2 ) and (F3) is enough to move it in one direction or the other.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés pour lesquels on pourra prévoir d'autres variantes, en particulier dans : - la nature, les formes et les dimensions des sous-ensembles constitutifs du dispositif ; - les moyens de liaison des divers sous-ensembles entre eux ; sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown for which other variants can be provided, in particular in: - the nature, the shapes and the dimensions of the constituent sub-assemblies of the device; - the means of linking the various sub-assemblies together; without departing from the scope of the invention.
