1 DESCRIPTION La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour copier des données entre deux clés USB sans nécessité d'utilisation d'un ordinateur. La copie de données entre clés USB doit traditionnellement être effectuée à l'aide d'un ordinateur. L'invention permet ainsi de s'affranchir de cette contrainte pour pouvoir transférer des données en tout lieu dépourvu d'ordinateur. Le dispositif comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un boîtier présentant un orifice à chaque extrémité. Ces orifices sont des ports USB femelle et peuvent ainsi recevoir tout type de port USB mâle de clés USB. Le boîtier est également équipé sur la partie supérieure d'un écran et de boutons qui permettent, une fois les deux clés USB connectées sur le dispositif, de choisir la clé "source" et la clé "destinataire", puis de sélectionner et enfin de copier les données d'une clé à l'autre. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : le nombre de boutons (au moins 2), leur disposition et leurs formes peuvent être différents suivant l'ergonomie souhaitée. l'écran peut disposer d'un nombre de lignes en lien avec l'évolution technologique, le plus grand nombre étant souvent recherché pour le confort de visualisation. les ports USB femelle peuvent être fermés par des systèmes de type clapet, bouchon, capuchon ou autre de manière à les protéger lorsque le dispositif de transfert de fichier n'est pas utilisé. l'alimentation du dispositif est possible avec une batterie, pile ou autre, rechargeable ou non. la forme, le matériau, les couleurs et le design du dispositif peuvent être modifiés en fonction de l'aspect esthétique final voulu. l'électronique interne du dispositif est conçue de manière à assurer les fonctions requises pour l'alimentation électrique du dispositif et des clés USB, la sélection des données de la clé "source", et la copie de la clé "source" à la clé "destinataire". Les dessins annexés sont des exemples non limitatifs d'illustration de l'invention. La figure 1 représente en relief le dispositif de l'invention. La figure 2 représente en relief une variante de ce dispositif. En référence au dessin de la figure 1, le dispositif comporte un boîtier (1) dont chacune des faces latérales est munie d'un orifice de type USB femelle (2). On peut apercevoir une modélisation de l'extrémité d'une clé USB (3) avec son port mâle (4) en présentation devant un des deux ports femelle (2) du dispositif. Sans être modélisé ici, on aura la même présentation sur l'autre face latérale du boîtier avec une deuxième clé USB. Une fois les deux clés USB rentrées dans le dispositif, un bouton (5) sert à identifier la clé USB "source" et la clé USB "destinataire", ce qui détermine le sens de transfert des données. L'écran (6) affiche alors la liste des données disponibles de la clé "source". Un bouton (7) permet d'explorer les données et de sélectionner celles que l'on désire transférer. Une fois le choix terminé, un bouton (8) copie l'ensemble des données sélectionnées vers la clé "destinataire". L'alimentation (9) est placée sous le dispositif. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le boîtier aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 2,5 cm pour la largeur, 6 cm pour la longueur et 2 cm pour la hauteur.5 Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2, le boîtier est remplacé par une clé USB (1). Cette clé USB est équipée alors d'un seul port USB femelle (2) situé à l'extrémité opposée du port USB mâle (10). L'alimentation (9) est conçue de manière à pouvoir alimenter les deux clés USB (1) et (3). Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la copie de données entre clés USB. 10 15 20 25  The present invention relates to a device for copying data between two USB flash drives without the need for a computer. Data copying between USB sticks must traditionally be done using a computer. The invention thus makes it possible to overcome this constraint in order to be able to transfer data in any place devoid of a computer. The device comprises in fact according to a first feature, a housing having an orifice at each end. These ports are USB female ports and can thus receive any type of USB port USB sticks. The box is also equipped on the upper part of a screen and buttons that allow, once the two USB keys connected to the device, to choose the "source" key and the "recipient" key, then select and finally copy the data from one key to another. According to particular embodiments: the number of buttons (at least 2), their arrangement and their shapes may be different according to the desired ergonomics. the screen can have a number of lines in connection with the technological evolution, the largest number being often sought for the comfort of visualization. the female USB ports may be closed by flap, cap, cap or other type of systems so as to protect them when the file transfer device is not used. the power supply of the device is possible with a battery, battery or other, rechargeable or not. the shape, material, colors and design of the device can be modified according to the desired final aesthetic appearance. the internal electronics of the device is designed to provide the functions required for the power supply of the device and the USB keys, the selection of the data of the "source" key, and the copy of the "source" key to the key "recipient". The accompanying drawings are non-limiting examples of illustration of the invention. Figure 1 shows in relief the device of the invention. Figure 2 shows in relief a variant of this device. Referring to the drawing of Figure 1, the device comprises a housing (1), each of the side faces is provided with a USB type female orifice (2). One can see a modeling of the end of a USB key (3) with its male port (4) in presentation in front of one of the two female ports (2) of the device. Without being modeled here, we will have the same presentation on the other side of the case with a second USB key. Once both USB keys are inserted in the device, a button (5) is used to identify the "source" USB key and the "recipient" USB key, which determines the direction of data transfer. The screen (6) then displays the list of available data of the "source" key. A button (7) makes it possible to explore the data and to select those which one wishes to transfer. Once the choice is complete, a button (8) copies all the selected data to the "recipient" key. The power supply (9) is placed under the device. By way of non-limiting example, the housing will have dimensions of the order of 2.5 cm for the width, 6 cm for the length and 2 cm for the height. In the embodiment according to FIG. case is replaced by a USB key (1). This USB key is then equipped with a single female USB port (2) located at the opposite end of the male USB port (10). The power supply (9) is designed so as to power both USB keys (1) and (3). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for copying data between USB sticks. 10 15 20 25
