Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of eyelets capable of serving as borders and/or reinforcements for perforations made in any material (curtains, textiles or similar materials, etc. . . . ) and notably to the adaptations enabling optimization of their mounting, their manufacture and their functions.
  • eyelets formed from two half-shells assembled by clipsage to serve notably as border at holes made in textiles or similar materials such as for example at the curtain top end.
  • the two half-shells enter into mutual engagement by clipsage.
  • one of the two half-shells includes protruding fins, the points of which enter into a groove or annular circular channel of the other half-shell.
  • the two half-shells include in the area of their small diameter a preformed cylindrical projection for cooperating in a manner to enable the clipsage.
  • the eyelet of the invention is of the type constituted by two half-shells assembled by clipsage used as border and/or reinforcement of a perforation in curtains, textiles or similar materials, the two half-shells coming mutually into grasp by clipsage of the two sides, one of the two half-shells having a plurality of fins projecting from its interior face turned towards the interior of the other half-shell and the points of which are introduced into the circular annular groove laid out for this purpose in the interior surface of the other half-shell.
  • this eyelet is characterized in that the aforementioned fins have a body having a continuous polygonal cross-section terminated by a point and that a part of the body having continuous cross-section is introduced into the annular groove when the two half shells are in the assembled state.
  • This cross-section contributes to a better penetration of the body of the fins through the textile or through the material on which the eyelet is installed. While the fins of the prior art were making do with a conical body and thus making the hold of the eyelet dependent on the length of the fin traversing the textile, a continuous polygonal cross-section guarantees the same hold. This new cross-section thus resolves one of the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the aforementioned fins have a first end coupled to the interior surface of a half-shell and another end that is terminated by a point having the shape of a pyramid.
  • the fins thus have two parts, a part having continuous polygonal cross-section and a pointed part.
  • the cross-section of the fins is quadrangular and the aforementioned fins are oriented such that the flat surfaces of the fins are in contact with the cylindrical surfaces of the annular groove of the other half-shell.
  • the applicant conceived that at least one of the two half-shells has at its outer rim, that is on the part the most distant from the center of the attachment, a plurality of teeth projecting from its interior face towards the interior face of the other half-shell in the space defined between the two half-shells in order to maintain the eyelet in position, up to its outer rim.
  • These supplemental teeth furthermore allow the border of the eyelet to come into contact with the textile even if the latter is of a thickness less than the distance separating the two assembled half-shells.
  • the interior faces of the two half-shells are equipped with the aforementioned teeth.
  • an object of the invention is constituted by an eyelet combining several of the features cited above, this combination guaranteeing good holding of the two half shells between themselves and of the eyelet on the textile.
  • this eyelet is characterized in that the aforementioned fins include a body having continuous polygonal cross-section terminated by a point and that a part of the body having continuous cross-section is introduced into the annular groove when the two half shells are in the assembled state,
  • each half-shell includes a cylindrical projection around the hole of which they secure the border, the cylindrical projections being preformed from complementary shapes for clipping into each other, a half-shell being preformed from projecting stops ( 160 ) guiding the end of the clipsage movement.
  • the eyelet is fabricated in ABS, that is in plastic material based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene.
  • This material offers the mechanical features necessary to assure the function of the eyelet and offers the characteristic of enabling its mixture with the flakes capable of bringing a metallized aesthetic to the eyelet.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of a side, cross-section view of an implementation mode of an eyelet in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 a is a schematic drawing of an exterior side view of a first half-shell forming the eyelet of FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 2 b is a schematic drawing of an exterior perspective view of the interior surface of the half-shell of FIG. 2 a
  • FIG. 2 c is a schematic drawing of an exterior perspective view of the exterior surface of the half-shell of FIG. 2 a
  • FIG. 3 a is a schematic drawing of an exterior side view of the second half-shell forming the eyelet of FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 3 b is a schematic drawing of an exterior perspective view of the interior surface of the half-shell of FIG. 3 a
  • FIG. 3 c is a schematic drawing of an exterior perspective view of the exterior surface of the half-shell of FIG. 3 a
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of a detailed side view of the assembly of the two half-shells of the eyelet illustrated in FIG. 1 .
  • the eyelet of the invention referenced O in its entirety is used as border of a hole made in textiles or similar materials not illustrated and is constituted by two half-shells or half-molds 100 and 200 that are assembled by clipsage.
  • the two half-shells 100 and 200 come mutually into grasp, once made coaxial by clipsage of their respective interior faces 110 and 210 preformed for this purpose each having a cylindrical projection the shapes of which complement each other.
  • one of the two half-shells namely the half-shell 100 , includes a plurality of fins 120 projecting from its interior face 110 turned towards the interior face 210 of the other half-shell 200 .
  • the points 121 and a part of the body of the fins 120 are introduced into the circular annular groove 220 laid out for this purpose in the interior surface 210 of the other half-shell 200 .
  • the fins 120 and the annular groove 220 are arranged according to a common diameter in order that, once the half-shells 100 and 200 are placed opposing each other and made coaxial, the aforementioned fins 120 can penetrate into the aforementioned annular groove 220 .
  • the aforementioned fins 120 have a body adopting a polygonal cross-section. According to the adopted technical choice appearing on FIGS. 2 a , 2 b , and 2 c , the fins 120 have a square profile.
  • the cross-section of the fins is rectangular and the aforementioned fins are oriented so that the flat faces of fins are in contact with the cylindrical surfaces of the annular groove 220 of the other half shell 200 .
  • two flat faces 122 and 123 of the body of the fin 120 penetrate the annular groove 220 and come into contact with the cylindrical surfaces that constitute the body respectively 221 and 222 , which optimizes the coupling between the fins 120 and the annular groove 220 relative to a circular profile.
  • the aforementioned fins 120 have a first end coupled to the interior surface of a half-shell and the other end of which is terminated by a point 121 adopting the shape of a pyramid.
  • the pyramid has four faces.
  • At least one of the two half-shells has at its outer rim a plurality of teeth projecting from its interior face.
  • the two half-shells 100 and 200 have, on their interior surface, teeth 130 and 230 projecting towards the interior surface of the other half-shell.
  • the aforementioned teeth 130 and 230 have a height less than half of the distance separating the peripheral parts of the half-shells supporting them.
  • These peripheral parts are flat parts situated on the largest diameter of the eyelet O and serve as an edge for it. The presence of these teeth avoids sliding of the fabric and allows adjustment for the larger separation of the two half-shells in case of thinner fabric.
  • the eyelet of the invention offers greater possibilities by offering a larger separation of the two half-shells to allow the installation in optimum conditions of the eyelets on thick fabrics.
  • each half-shell 100 and 200 thus shows externally, starting from its center:
  • the principal central attachment of the two half-shells was also the object of a study by the applicant. These studies dealt with the fatigue of this attachment due notably to the operations of the successive mounting/dismounting of the two half-shells as well as a possible miss mounting.
  • the principal attachment of the two half-shells between themselves is, as illustrated, constituted by a cylindrical clipsage. To do this, the two half-shells 100 and 200 are preformed, in the area of their smallest diameter, having projections, the shapes of which complement each other, once placed in position, to form an edgeless inner cylinder to border the hole made in the fabric or similar material.
  • each half-shell 100 and 200 includes a cylindrical projection 150 and 250 around the hole of which they secure the edge, the cylindrical projections being preformed of complementary shapes 151 and 251 for clipping into each other.
  • one of the half-shells is preformed having projecting stops 160 that, distributed angularly around the center of the half-shell 100 , guide the end of the clipsage movement and maintain the aforementioned projections 150 and 250 in position between themselves.
  • the non-coupled end of the half-shell 100 having the aforementioned stops 160 is preformed having an inclined plane 161 oriented so that, during the movement in translation of the clipsage operation, the deformation of the complementary part 251 of the half-shell 200 , tending to separate it from the center, is guided to return the aforementioned complementary shape towards the center.
  • the eyelet of the present invention has a symmetric structure, the plane of which separates the two half-shells perpendicularly at the axis of the cylindrical edge that they form.
  • the two half-shells differ in the area of their internal part as a result of the presence of projecting stops 160 and of fins 120 for the first half-shell 100 and by the presence of an annular groove 120 for the second half-shell, the two projections 150 and 250 coming to complete themselves.
  • the half-shells of the invention are realized by a plastic injection process. Furthermore, the exterior surface can be subjected to a metallization, when it is not realized in the body, according to another preferred implementation mode of the invention.
