Abstract

The device has a disk-shaped base (2) provided with a central axle (5) that maintains a corolla (3) in position by a button (4) when a user pulls on a petal (1) of an artificial flower. The button is fixed on the central axle, and presses the corolla on the base. Attachments (8) of the petal are weak in a weak zone (6) for facilitating breaking of the petal, where breaking of the petal occurs in a weak point. A central hole (10) of the corolla is reinforced by a surface deposit (9) e.g. plastic film.

Description

-1- La présente invention permet de détacher sans effort les pétales d'une fleur artificielle. Chaque pétale peut être enlevé un à un, et cela sans endommager la fleur ni les autres pétales restants. The present invention allows to effortlessly detach the petals of an artificial flower. Each petal can be removed one by one, without damaging the flower or other remaining petals.

Présentement, les pétales sont maintenus par des procédés qui ne permettent pas de les enlever sans risquer d'endommager la fleur artificielle ni les autres pétales. Currently, the petals are maintained by processes that do not remove them without the risk of damaging the artificial flower or other petals.

Le dispositif se décompose en 3 parties : - la corolle - l'embase, c'est sur cette partie que la corolle est enfilée - le bouton, il s'enfile sur l'embase, par-dessus les pétales The device is broken down into 3 parts: - the corolla - the base, it is on this part that the corolla is threaded - the button, it is put on the base, over the petals

La corolle est formée d'un même matériau de faible épaisseur. La corolle est formée de manière à représenter la forme de pétales. Le centre de la corolle a la forme d'un disque. Chaque pétale est rattaché au disque par une attache. La longueur de l'attache varie (et peut même être inexistante) suivant la forme de fleur imitée. Pour faciliter le détachement du pétale et déterminer la localisation de la rupture, l'attache est fragilisée par une semi-brisure, poinçonnement, pincement, enlèvement de matière ou autre. La méthode la plus adaptée dépend du matériau choisi. La rupture du pétale a lieu au point de fragilisation, cela permet de garantir l'intégrité des pétales restants et de fait l'aspect visuel général de la fleur artificielle. The corolla is formed of the same thin material. The corolla is shaped to represent the shape of petals. The center of the corolla is shaped like a disc. Each petal is attached to the disc by a clip. The length of the tie varies (and may even be non-existent) depending on the shape of the flower imitated. To facilitate the detachment of the petal and determine the location of the rupture, the fastener is weakened by semi-breaking, punching, pinching, removal of material or other. The most suitable method depends on the chosen material. The breaking of the petal takes place at the point of embrittlement, this ensures the integrity of the remaining petals and makes the general visual appearance of the artificial flower.

Au centre de la corolle, un trou est percé. Ce trou sert à enfiler la corolle sur l'embase. Ce trou peut-être circulaire ou non. Un trou non circulaire ne permettant pas la rotation de la corolle autour de l'axe de l'embase. Autour du trou, suivant la fragilité du matériau choisi, il est possible de faire un dépôt en surface pour renforcer les abords du trou. Un film plastique ou vernis de faible épaisseur peut jouer ce rôle. In the center of the corolla, a hole is pierced. This hole is used to put the corolla on the base. This hole may be circular or not. A non-circular hole does not allow the rotation of the corolla around the axis of the base. Around the hole, depending on the fragility of the chosen material, it is possible to make a deposit on the surface to reinforce the surroundings of the hole. A thin plastic film or varnish can play this role.

L'embase se présente sous la forme d'un disque de faible épaisseur avec un axe au centre. L'axe a la même forme que le trou effectué dans la corolle permettant ainsi d'enfiler la corolle sur l'axe. En plus de jouer un rôle d'alignement pour la corolle. L'axe opposera une force antagoniste à celle exercée sur la corolle par l'utilisateur lorsqu'il retire un pétale. 35 Le bouton a la forme d'une calotte sphérique. Il est perforé au centre par un trou borgne. La forme du trou est celle de l'axe de l'embase, permettant ainsi la fixation du bouton sur l'embase. The base is in the form of a thin disc with an axis in the center. The axis has the same shape as the hole made in the corolla thus allowing to put the corolla on the axis. In addition to playing an alignment role for the corolla. The axis will oppose a force antagonistic to that exerted on the corolla by the user when removing a petal. The button has the shape of a spherical cap. It is perforated in the center by a blind hole. The shape of the hole is that of the axis of the base, thus allowing the attachment of the button on the base.

40 Le couple embase-bouton est fixé par un système classique à clip, pas de vis ou autre nécessitant un effort non nul pour les assembler ou les désassembler. 40 The base-button couple is fixed by a conventional system with clip, no screw or other requiring a non-zero effort to assemble or disassemble.

L'assemblage de l'invention se fait dans l'ordre suivant : l'embase, puis la corolle, puis le bouton. Suivant le design de fleur artificielle souhaitée, il est possible d'enfiler 45 plusieurs corolles sur l'embase. The assembly of the invention is in the following order: the base, then the corolla, then the button. Depending on the desired artificial flower design, it is possible to put 45 different corollas on the base.

La corolle est alors serrée entre l'embase et le bouton. The corolla is then clamped between the base and the button.

Le maintien du pétale par l'axe de l'embase ajouté à l'effort de pincement du couple embase-bouton permet de maintenir la corolle pendant le détachement des pétales. Le frottement de la corolle sur le bouton et l'embase crée une force antagoniste à celle exercée sur la corolle par l'utilisateur lorsqu'il retire un pétale. Il est possible de concentrer ces efforts de frottement en créant une surépaisseur sur la bordure extérieure du bouton. Keeping the petal by the axis of the base added to the clamping force of the base-button couple keeps the corolla during the detachment of the petals. The friction of the corolla on the button and the base creates a force antagonistic to that exerted on the corolla by the user when removing a petal. It is possible to concentrate these friction forces by creating an extra thickness on the outer edge of the button.

La rupture du pétale a lieu sur la zone fragilisée de l'attache. The breakage of the petal takes place on the weakened area of the attachment.

FIG. 4 represents, in section, a variant of this device

En référence à ces dessins, la corolle est constituée de plusieurs pétales (1) reliés au disque central (7) par une attache (8). Une partie de l'attache est fragilisée (6) pour faciliter le détachement du pétale (1) sans effort et pour déterminer la zone où la rupture a lieu. Autour du trou central (10), un dépôt surfacique (9) peut être effectué suivant la fragilité du matériau utilisé pour la corolle. With reference to these drawings, the corolla consists of several petals (1) connected to the central disk (7) by a fastener (8). Part of the fastener is weakened (6) to facilitate the detachment of the petal (1) without effort and to determine the area where the rupture occurs. Around the central hole (10), a surface deposit (9) can be made according to the fragility of the material used for the corolla.

La corolle (3) est enfilée par son trou central (10), sur l'axe (5) de l'embase (2). Le bouton (4) vient couvrir l'ensemble, le trou borgne (11) servant d'orifice pour l'axe (5). The corolla (3) is threaded through its central hole (10) on the axis (5) of the base (2). The button (4) covers the assembly, the blind hole (11) serving as an orifice for the axis (5).

Lorsque l'effort créé par l'utilisateur sur le pétale (1) atteint le point de rupture de 30 l'attache fragilisée (6), le pétale (1) se fissure et se brise au niveau de la zone fragilisée (6). When the effort created by the user on the petal (1) reaches the breaking point of the weakened fastener (6), the petal (1) cracks and breaks at the weakened zone (6).

La surépaisseur en bordure du bouton (12) permet de concentrer les efforts dus au frottement de la corolle (3) sur le bouton (4) et l'embase (2). Suivant le design final souhaité, il est possible d'enfiler plusieurs corolles sur l'embase (13). The extra thickness at the edge of the button (12) makes it possible to concentrate the forces due to the friction of the corolla (3) on the button (4) and the base (2). Depending on the desired final design, it is possible to put several corollas on the base (13).

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la corolle aura une dimension de l'ordre de 11 cm 40 de diamètre, l'embase 2cm de diamètre et le bouton 2 cm de diamètre. As a non-limiting example, the corolla will have a dimension of about 11 cm in diameter, the base 2 cm in diameter and the button 2 cm in diameter.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au détachement de pétales artificiels sur lesquels une inscription a été réalisée. 35 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the detachment of artificial petals on which an inscription has been made. 35
