The mobile section can be pivoted relative to the ground support and locked with a ratchet (5a, 5b) and handwheel (6a, 6b) mechanism with the hose reel in upper or lower positions. The ratchets engage automatically when the reel is raised into its upper position, and it is disengaged and lowered for transportation.

Description

Chariot dévidoir de tuyau admettant une position haute et une positionPipe feeder carriage with a high position and a position

basse. L'invention est relative à un système permettant l'usage et le stockage d'un tuyau d'arrosage, système à géométrie variable admettant deux positions d'usage et des états de transition. Chacune des positions d'usage apportant des avantages de sécurité, de stabilité, d'équilibre, de confort et d'ergonomie propres au produit selon l'invention.  low. The invention relates to a system for the use and storage of a garden hose, variable geometry system admitting two use positions and transition states. Each of the positions of use providing security, stability, balance, comfort and ergonomics benefits of the product according to the invention.

Les dispositifs traditionnels permettant le stockage et facilitant la manipulation d'un tuyau d'arrosage sont généralement de simples enrouleurs, montés sur support, et permettant parfois le branchement direct à l'alimentation en eau. Ce support peut être mobile et proche du sol, donc malcommode, ou destiné à être fixé au mur, à hauteur de manipulation, mais présentant alors l'inconvénient de devenir statique. Dans tous les cas, ces dispositifs classiques ne prévoient pas d'amortir les à coups liés à la manipulation du tuyau, ni de concilier mobilité, stabilité et travail à hauteur ergonomique.  The traditional devices for storing and facilitating the handling of a garden hose are generally simple reels, mounted on a support, and sometimes allowing direct connection to the water supply. This support can be mobile and close to the ground, so inconvenient, or intended to be fixed to the wall at the manipulation height, but then having the disadvantage of becoming static. In all cases, these conventional devices do not provide cushioning blows related to the handling of the pipe, nor to reconcile mobility, stability and work at ergonomic height.

Le système selon l'invention permet d'envisager un usage nomade, ergonomique pour l'enroulage et absorbant les à coups du dévidement. Le système selon l'invention prévoit pour cela deux positions distinctes de dévidement et d'enroulage. La première, basse, garanti la stabilité de l'ensemble selon l'invention lors du déploiement du tuyau en vue de son usage. La seconde, haute, prévoit que l'enroulement du tuyau après usage puisse se faire à hauteur d'homme, moyennant une manipulation simple et sûre. Le système selon l'invention est donc constitué par l'assemblage de deux parties principales mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre. La première de ces parties, située en position basse, supporte les éléments nécessaires à la mobilité de l'ensemble, tels que roues, roulettes, ou tout autre appendice permettant le déplacement aisé de l'ensemble. La deuxième de ces parties comporte les éléments nécessaires au stockage et à l'utilisation du tuyau d'arrosage rapporté à l'ensemble selon l'invention. Ces deux parties sont rendues solidaires l'une de l'autre par un ou plusieurs éléments connecteurs, dont le rôle sera de permettre la mobilité relative des parties l'une par rapport à l'autre, et de sécuriser les différentes étapes de cette mobilité relative. La partie basse de l'ensemble porte donc une partie haute mobile, verrouillable en position haute ou basse, selon que l'ensemble sera destiné à dévider ou enrouler le tuyau qu'il porte.  The system according to the invention makes it possible to envisage nomadic, ergonomic use for winding up and absorbing them with the strokes of the unwinding. The system according to the invention provides for this two distinct positions of unwinding and winding. The first, low, guaranteed the stability of the assembly according to the invention during the deployment of the pipe for use. The second, high, provides that the winding of the pipe after use can be done at the height of man, with a simple and safe handling. The system according to the invention is constituted by the assembly of two main parts movable relative to each other. The first of these parts, located in the low position, supports the elements necessary for the mobility of the assembly, such as wheels, wheels, or any other appendage allowing the easy movement of the assembly. The second of these parts comprises the elements necessary for the storage and use of the garden hose reported to the assembly according to the invention. These two parts are secured to one another by one or more connector elements, whose role will be to allow the relative mobility of the parts relative to each other, and secure the various stages of this mobility relative. The lower part of the assembly thus carries a movable upper part, lockable in the high or low position, depending on whether the assembly will be intended to unwind or wind the pipe it carries.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront avec la description d'un mode particulier de réalisation, celle ci étant effectuée en se référant aux dessins ci annexés, sur lesquels :  Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent with the description of a particular embodiment, this being done with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

- La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble selon l'invention, présentant la position basse de dévidement. La figure 2 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble selon l'invention, présentant la position haute d'enroulage.  - Figure 1 is a perspective view of the assembly according to the invention, having the low position unwinding. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the assembly according to the invention, having the upper winding position.

35 La figure 3 est une vue de coté présentant particulièrement un des éléments connectant les parties inférieure et supérieure de l'ensemble décrit sur les figures 1 et 2.30 Dans l'exemple de réalisation du système selon l'invention tel que décrit par les figures 1 à 3, on distingue un élément d'assise (1) portant deux roues (2) et accueillant une partie mobile (3) constitué d'un brancard comportant le tambour (4) d'enroulement du tuyau non figuré. L'élément d'assise de l'ensemble (1) est rendu solidaire de l'élément mobile (3) par deux ensembles connecteurs symétriques composés chacun d'une came à rochets (5a ;5b) et d'un volant de serrage (6a ;6b). La partie mobile (3) présente par ailleurs un dispositif (7) d'encliquetage à ressort complémentaire aux cames à rochets (5a ;5b) tel qu'il interdit le rabattement de la partie mobile (3) si il n'est pas maintenu par l'utilisateur. La figure 1 présente l'invention selon une réalisation particulière, dans la situation où la partie (3) est en position basse, rapprochant ainsi au maximum le tambour (4) du sol. Cette position garanti la plus grande stabilité à l'ensemble, et permet ainsi un dévidement sûr du tuyau, excluant les risques de basculement. Cette position, naturelle pour l'ensemble, ne nécessite pas le verrouillage des cames à rochets (5a ;5b) par le serrage des volants (6a ;6b). Ainsi laissé libre, le débattement du brancard (3) absorbe les à-coups du dévidement et évite la trop grande sollicitation des appuis de l'ensemble. La figure 3 présente, dans cette même réalisation particulière, le fonctionnement du dispositif de maintient des parties, constitué par l'ensemble des cames à rochets (5a ;5b), des volants de serrage (6a ;6b) et de la barre cliquet (7). Ce dispositif permet un encliquetage automatique lors de la montée qui s'effectue volants (6a ;6b) desserrés, encliquetage interdisant le rabattement intempestif du brancard (3). Le rabattement est cependant rendu possible par le maintien volontaire par l'utilisateur de la barre à ressort (7). Tout relâchement de ce maintient donnera prise à la barre (7) sur les rochets des cames (5a ;5b). La figure 2 présente l'ensemble selon l'invention dans la même réalisation particulière, le brancard (3) levé, maintenu dans cette position par les dispositif décrit précédemment, et présentant le tambour dans une position telle qu'il se prête à la manipulation aisée. L'élément d'assise (1) est conçu de telle manière qu'il conserve sa stabilité à l'ensemble dans cette position. Cet élément (1) présente par ailleurs une barre (8) permettant à l'utilisateur de maintenir du pied le système dans son entier, tandis qu'il manipule le tambour (4). Les volants de serrage (6a ;6b) permettent par ailleurs d'améliorer le maintien de l'ensemble, déjà garanti par l'ensemble cames(5a ;5b) et barre à ressort (7).20  FIG. 3 is a side view particularly showing one of the elements connecting the lower and upper parts of the assembly described in FIGS. 1 and 2.30 In the exemplary embodiment of the system according to the invention as described by FIGS. at 3, there is a seat member (1) carrying two wheels (2) and accommodating a movable portion (3) consisting of a stretcher comprising the drum (4) for winding the pipe not shown. The seat element of the assembly (1) is secured to the movable element (3) by two symmetrical connector assemblies each composed of a ratchet cam (5a; 5b) and a clamping wheel ( 6a, 6b). The movable part (3) also has a device (7) snap spring complementary ratchet cams (5a, 5b) such that it prohibits the folding of the movable part (3) if it is not maintained by the user. Figure 1 shows the invention according to a particular embodiment, in the situation where the part (3) is in the low position, thus bringing the drum (4) to the ground. This position guarantees the greatest stability to the assembly, and thus allows a safe unwinding of the pipe, excluding the risk of tipping. This position, natural for all, does not require the locking of the ratchet cams (5a, 5b) by tightening the flywheels (6a, 6b). Thus left free, the deflection of the stretcher (3) absorbs the jerks of the unwinding and avoids too much stress on the supports of the whole. FIG. 3 shows, in this same particular embodiment, the operation of the device for holding the parts, constituted by the set of ratchet cams (5a, 5b), clamping wheels (6a, 6b) and the ratchet bar ( 7). This device allows automatic snapping during the climb which is carried flying (6a; 6b) loosened, snapping preventing inadvertent folding of the stretcher (3). The folding is however made possible by the voluntary maintenance by the user of the spring bar (7). Any loosening of this retainer will give grip to the bar (7) on the ratchets of the cams (5a, 5b). FIG. 2 shows the assembly according to the invention in the same particular embodiment, the stretcher (3) raised, held in this position by the devices described above, and presenting the drum in a position such that it is suitable for handling easy. The seating element (1) is designed in such a way that it maintains its stability to the assembly in this position. This element (1) also has a bar (8) allowing the user to hold the entire system foot, while manipulating the drum (4). The clamping wheels (6a; 6b) also make it possible to improve the maintenance of the assembly, already guaranteed by the cams assembly (5a; 5b) and the spring bar (7).
