Description

Supports de repère codé et dispositif de réalisation de repères codés Coded marker supports and coded marker device
L'invention a pour objet des supports de repère codé et un dispositif de réalisation de repères codés.  The subject of the invention is coded marker supports and a device for producing coded markers.
Pour repérer des câbles électriques isolés ou rassemblés en faisceau, il est connu d'utiliser des repères formés d'une combinaison de caractères alphanumériques assemblés dans un support de repère. Ces caractères sont généralement constitués par des tronçons tubulaires souples portant une lettre ou un chiffre. Ils sont introduits en enfilade dans un logement du support de repère, lequel, dans une réalisation courante, est constitué par un tronçon de gaine ayant deux compartiments longitudinaux, l'un de ces compartiments étant destiné au logement d'un repère, l'autre compartiment servant à enfiler le support de repère sur un câble ou permettant l'assujettissement du support de repère à un câble par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'attache auxiliaire.  To locate isolated or bundled electrical cables, it is known to use markers formed of a combination of alphanumeric characters assembled in a marker support. These characters are generally constituted by flexible tubular sections carrying a letter or a number. They are introduced in a row in a housing of the marker support, which, in a current embodiment, consists of a sheath section having two longitudinal compartments, one of these compartments being intended to house a marker, the other compartment used to thread the marker carrier onto a cable or allowing the marker carrier to be secured to a cable by means of an auxiliary fastening member.
L'utilisation des caractères tubulaires mentionnés ci-dessus pour la réalisation de repères présente l'inconvénient de n'être pas adaptée à la réalisation rapide de séries de repères.  The use of the tubular characters mentioned above for the production of marks has the disadvantage of not being suitable for the rapid production of series of marks.
L'invention a pour objet des supports ce repère et un dispositif de réalisation de repères codés sur de tels supports de repère qui ne présentent pas cet inconvénient.  The invention relates to supports this mark and a device for producing coded marks on such mark supports which do not have this drawback.
Conformément à l'invention, un support de repère pour supporter un repère formé par au moins deux éléments d'identification alignés comporte une plaquette oblongue comprenant au moins deux organes d'encliquetage alignés pour assujettir respectivement à la plaquette deux éléments d'identification ayant chacun un organe d'encliquetage complémentaire d'un organe d'encliquetage de la plaquette.  According to the invention, a marker support for supporting a marker formed by at least two aligned identification elements comprises an oblong plate comprising at least two latching members aligned to secure respectively to the plate two identification elements each having a latching member complementary to a latching member of the wafer.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la plaquette comorenα sur l'une de ses faces des moyens de logement pour recevoir chaque élément d'identification dans une position déterminée. According to a characteristic of the invention, the comorenα plate on one of its faces means housing to receive each identification element in a determined position.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaquette comprend sur son autre face au moins un organe de pinçage élastique pour pincer un câble. Avantageusement, la plaquette forme une tablette reliée aux organes de pinçage par l'une de ses extrémités.  According to another characteristic of the invention, the plate comprises on its other face at least one elastic clamping member for pinching a cable. Advantageously, the plate forms a tablet connected to the clamping members by one of its ends.
Conformément à l'invention, on prévoit en outre un dispositif pour la réalisation de repères codés formés par au moins deux éléments d'identification alignés comprenant :  In accordance with the invention, a device is also provided for producing coded marks formed by at least two aligned identification elements comprising:
un peigne ayant un dos d'où s'étend au moins une rangée de dents parallèles espacées d'un pas P, chaque dent ayant une face munie d'au moins deux organes d'encliquetage alignés. les organes d'encliquetage d'une rangée de dents étant disposés selon des lignes perpendiculaires aux dents et  a comb having a back from which extends at least one row of parallel teeth spaced apart by a pitch P, each tooth having a face provided with at least two latching members aligned. the latching members of a row of teeth being arranged in lines perpendicular to the teeth and
- une pluralité de bandes constituée chacune d'une pluralité d'éléments d'identification reliés les uns aux autres et ayant chacun un organe d'encliquetage complémentaire d'un organe d'encliquetage d'une dent. les organes d'encliquetage d'une bande étant espacés du pas P.  - A plurality of bands each consisting of a plurality of identification elements connected to each other and each having a latching member complementary to a latching member of a tooth. the latching members of a strip being spaced apart by the pitch P.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit de modes de réalisation de l'invention donnés à titre d'exemple et sans intentions limitatives. On se reportera aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description of embodiments of the invention given by way of example and without limiting intentions. Reference is made to the appended drawings in which:

- la figure 6 est une vue de dessus d'une portion d'un dispositif pour la réalisation de repères codés formés par cinq éléments d'identification alignés.  - Figure 6 is a top view of a portion of a device for producing coded marks formed by five aligned identification elements.
Les supports de repère représentés sur les figures sont prévus pour permettre l'assemblage, de cinq éléments d'identification 1 alignés formant un repère (ce nombre étant arbitraire). Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, un élément d'identification 1 conforme à l'invention comprend un corps 2 ayant une première face au centre de laquelle fait saillie un organe d'encliquetage 3 mâle et une deuxième face, opposée à la précédente sur laquelle est inscrite un signe distinctif. Dans l'exemple représenté, le corps de l'élément d'identification 1 a la forme d'un tronc de pyramide sur la base duquel est inscrit un chiffre ou une lettre, et l'organe d'encliquetage 3 est sphéroidal.  The marker supports shown in the figures are provided to allow the assembly of five identification elements 1 aligned forming a marker (this number being arbitrary). As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, an identification element 1 according to the invention comprises a body 2 having a first face in the center of which protrudes a male latching member 3 and a second face, opposite to the previous one on which a distinctive sign is inscribed. In the example shown, the body of the identification element 1 has the shape of a pyramid trunk on the base of which is inscribed a number or a letter, and the latching member 3 is spheroidal.
Sur les figures 1 et 2, on a représenté un premier mode de réalisation d'un support de repère conforme à l'invention. Ce support 40 est constitué par une plaquette rectangulaire 5 comprenant cinq alvéoles 6 alignés contigus ayant chacun une forme complémentaire de celle du corps 2 d'un élément d'identification 1 permettant de le caler dans une position déterminée. Au niveau de chaque alvéole 6, la plaquette 5 comprend en outre un organe d'encliquetage femelle complémentaire de celui d'un élément d'identification 1. Dans l'exemple représenté, cet élément d'encliquetage est délimité par un trou conique 7 débouchant au centre du fond d'un alvéole 6 et s'évasant à partir de l'alvéole. Le diamètre du trou 7 au niveau du fond de l'alvéole 6 est légèrement inférieur à celui de la saillie sphéroîdale 3 d'un élément d'identification 1. Le matériau du support de repère 4 est choisi suffisamment élastique pour permettre l'encliquetage d'un élément d'identification 1 dans un alvéole 7 par une simple pression. Ainsi, l'élément d'identification 1 est assujetti au support de repère 4. In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a first embodiment of a reference support according to the invention. This support 40 is constituted by a rectangular plate 5 comprising five contiguous aligned cells 6 each having a shape complementary to that of the body 2 of an identification element 1 making it possible to wedge it in a determined position. At each cell 6, the plate 5 further comprises a female latching member complementary to that of an identification element 1. In the example shown, this latching element is delimited by a conical hole 7 opening out in the center of the bottom of a cell 6 and flaring from the cell. The diameter of the hole 7 at the bottom of the cell 6 is slightly less than that of the spheroidal projection 3 of an identification element 1. The material of the reference support 4 is chosen to be sufficiently elastic to allow the latching of an identification element 1 into a cell 7 by a simple pressure. Thus, the identification element 1 is subject to the reference support 4.
Le support de repère représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 est destiné à être fixé sur l'objet à identifier. Si cet objet est un câble de faible diamètre, il peut être introduit dans un support de repère tubulaire classique.  The marker support shown in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to be fixed on the object to be identified. If this object is a small diameter cable, it can be introduced into a conventional tubular marker support.
Sur la figure 3 on a représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un support de repère conforme à l'invention. Ce support 41 se différencie de celui qui vient d'être décrit en ce que la plaquette 5 est prolongée à chacune de ses extrémités et comprend, faisant saillie sur chacune des extensions 8 ainsi formées, un pontet 9 permettant le passage d'un lien.  In Figure 3 there is shown a second embodiment of a reference support according to the invention. This support 41 differs from that which has just been described in that the plate 5 is extended at each of its ends and comprises, projecting from each of the extensions 8 thus formed, a bridge 9 allowing the passage of a link.
Le support de repère 42 représenté sur la figure 4 comprend une plaquette 5, identique à celle qui a été décrite en relation avec la figure 1, et un organe de pinçage élastique 10 faisant saillie à une extrémité de la plaquette 5, à l'opposé des alvéoles 6. L'organe de pinçage 10 comprend deux mors 11 dentelés séparés par une fente 12 d'axe longitudinal parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la plaquette 5. Cette disposition permet la fixation du support sur un câble de telle façon que la plaquette 5 s'étend sensiblement parallèlement au câble. L'élasticité de l'organe de pinçage 10, par laquelle les mors 12 sont rappelés vers la position qu'ils occupent au repos, est obtenue par le choix d'un matériau approprié pour réaliser le support 42. On notera que la liaison entre l'organe de pinçage 10 et la plaquette 5 est réalisée au niveau d'un prolongement de cette plaquette. Grâce à cette disposition il est possible d'emmancher sur la plaquette 5 une gaine de protection transparente couvrant tout le repère.  The marker support 42 shown in Figure 4 comprises a plate 5, identical to that which has been described in relation to Figure 1, and an elastic clamping member 10 projecting at one end of the plate 5, opposite cells 6. The clamping member 10 comprises two jaws 11 serrated separated by a slot 12 of longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wafer 5. This arrangement allows the fixing of the support on a cable so that the plate 5 extends substantially parallel to the cable. The elasticity of the clamping member 10, by which the jaws 12 are returned to the position they occupy at rest, is obtained by the choice of an appropriate material for producing the support 42. It will be noted that the connection between the pinching member 10 and the plate 5 is produced at the level of an extension of this plate. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to fit a transparent protective sheath covering the entire marker on the wafer 5.
Sur la figure 5, on a représenté une variante 43 du support de la figure 4, comprenant trois organes de pinçage élastique 10 alignés. Ces trois organes sont solidaires et ne sont reliés à la plaquette 5 proprement dite que par une de ses extrémités. De la sorte, la plaquette 5 reste totalement dégagée par rapport au reste du support de repère et elle peut être revêtue d'une gaine 13 transparente protégeant les éléments d'identification 1 qu'elle porte. In FIG. 5, a variant has been represented. 43 of the support of Figure 4, comprising three elastic clamping members 10 aligned. These three members are integral and are connected to the plate 5 proper only by one of its ends. In this way, the plate 5 remains completely clear from the rest of the reference support and it can be coated with a transparent sheath 13 protecting the identification elements 1 which it carries.
Dans une variante, non représentée, du support de repère 43 représenté sur la figure 5, les organes de pincage 10 font corps avec la plaquette 5 et le support comprend deux rainures s'étendant latéralement le long des deux côtés longitudinaux du repère. Ces rainures permettent l'encliquetage d'un capot transparent couvrant le repère. Avantageusement, on prévoit de fabriquer des ensembles protecteurs regroupant plusieurs capots de ce type, reliés les uns aux autres par leurs bords longitudinaux au moyen d'éléments de liaison, de préférence sécables. Les éléments protecteurs permettent d'assembler plusieurs supports de repère.  In a variant, not shown, of the marker support 43 shown in Figure 5, the clamping members 10 are integral with the plate 5 and the support comprises two grooves extending laterally along the two longitudinal sides of the marker. These grooves allow the locking of a transparent cover covering the mark. Advantageously, provision is made to manufacture protective assemblies grouping together several hoods of this type, connected to each other by their longitudinal edges by means of connecting elements, preferably breakable. The protective elements make it possible to assemble several reference supports.
Dans les installations électriques importantes, il est souvent nécessaire d'utiliser un grand nombre de repères pour marquer des câbles ou des faisceaux de câbles. Pour permettre la réalisation rapide d'une grande quantité de repères, on prévoit, conformément à l'invention, le dispositif représenté sur la figure 6. Ce dispositif comprend un peigne ayant un dos 20 rectiligne, à partir duquel s'étendent, dans des directions opposées, deux rangées 21 de dents 22 espacées d'un pas P et perpendiculaires au dos 20. Ces dents peuvent être quasi jointives ou être, comme dans l'exemple représenté, séparées par un interstice 23. Elles sont constituées indivi- duellement par l'un des supports de repère qui ont été décrits plus haut. Sur l'exemple représenté, les dents 22 sont conformes au support 40 décrit en relation avec la figure 1. Par suite de cette disposition, les alvéoles 6 et les organes d'encliquetage 7 se trouvent disposés sur des lignes parallèles au dos 20. Le dispositif pour la réalisation de repères codés selon l'invention comprend en outre des bandes 24 constituées chacune d'une pluralité d'éléments d'identification 1 reliés les uns aux autres par ceux de leurs côtés prévus pour être en vis-à-vis des côtés latéraux d'un support de repère, à l'état monté. Lorsque les dents 22 sont séparées par un interstice 23, les éléments d'identification 1 de chaque bande 24 sont reliés par l'intermédiaire d'éléments ou pattes de jonction 25 dont la largeur est égale à celle des interstices 23. De la sorte, les éléments d'identification 1 de chaque bande sont espacés du pas P. Les signes portés par les éléments d'identification 1 d'une même bande peuvent être identiques ou différents et, dans ce dernier cas, être agencés selon tout type de progression intéressant pour le codage. A titre d'exemple une bande peut comporter une succession de séries de chiffres croissants (0, 1,... 8, 9), de chiffres croissants redoublés (0,0,1,1,...9,9), de lettres se succédant dans l'ordre alphabétique, etc. In large electrical installations, it is often necessary to use a large number of markers to mark cables or cable bundles. In order to allow the rapid production of a large quantity of marks, the device shown in FIG. 6 is provided, in accordance with the invention. This device comprises a comb having a rectilinear back, from which extend, in opposite directions, two rows 21 of teeth 22 spaced apart by a pitch P and perpendicular to the back 20. These teeth may be almost contiguous or be, as in the example shown, separated by a gap 23. They are formed individually by one of the marker supports which have been described above. In the example shown, the teeth 22 conform to the support 40 described in connection with FIG. 1. As a result of this arrangement, the cells 6 and the snap-fastening members 7 are arranged on lines parallel to the back 20. The device for producing coded markers according to the invention further comprises strips 24 each consisting of a plurality of identification elements 1 connected to each other by those on their sides intended to be opposite the lateral sides of a marker support, the mounted state. When the teeth 22 are separated by a gap 23, the identification elements 1 of each strip 24 are connected by means of junction elements or lugs 25 whose width is equal to that of the gaps 23. In this way, the identification elements 1 of each band are spaced apart by the pitch P. The signs carried by the identification elements 1 of the same band can be identical or different and, in the latter case, be arranged according to any type of interesting progression for coding. By way of example, a strip may comprise a succession of series of increasing numbers (0, 1, ... 8, 9), of increasing double numbers (0,0,1,1, ... 9,9), successive letters in alphabetical order, etc.
Pour réaliser des séries de repères à l'aide de ce dispositif, il suffit d'encliquêter sur une rangée 21 de dents 22 du peigne (comme cela est représenté pour la rangée de droite sur la figure 6) des bandes 24 convenablement choisies et agencées les unes par rapport aux autres pour former les repères désirés. Une fois les repères constitués, il reste à désolidariser du peigne la rangée 21 de dents 22 concernée ainsi qu'à séparer les dents 22 ellesmêmes. Pour faciliter cette opération, on prévoit une zone fragilisée 26 au niveau de l'attache de chaque dent 22 au dos 20 du peigne ainsi qu'une zone fragilisée 27 de chaque côté des pattes de jonction 25. Ces pattes peuvent d'ailleurs être remplacées par un simple lien (ou une paire de liens). Selon la nature du matériau utilisé pour fabriquer le peigne 20,22 et les bandes 24, on se servira d'un outil tranchant pour cisailler les zones fragilisées 26, 27 ou on procédera par pliage alternatif des éléments à séparer les uns par rapport aux autres.  To make series of marks using this device, it suffices to snap onto a row 21 of teeth 22 of the comb (as shown for the right row in FIG. 6) strips 24 suitably chosen and arranged relative to each other to form the desired landmarks. Once the marks have been formed, it remains to separate the row 21 of teeth 22 concerned from the comb as well as to separate the teeth 22 themselves. To facilitate this operation, a weakened zone 26 is provided at the level of the attachment of each tooth 22 to the back 20 of the comb as well as a weakened zone 27 on each side of the junction tabs 25. These tabs can moreover be replaced by a single link (or a pair of links). Depending on the nature of the material used to make the comb 20, 22 and the strips 24, a sharp tool will be used to shear the weakened zones 26, 27 or the elements to be separated must be folded alternately with respect to each other. .
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et elle est susceptible de variantes de réalisation. En particulier, lorsque les signes portés par les éléments d'identification 1 n'ont pas de sens de lecture (cas d'une couleur par exemple), il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir de calage (emboîtement de pièces angulaires, par exemple) pour empêcher le pivotement des éléments d'identification par rapport au support de repère. Quand c'est le cas, ce calage peut être réalisé sans moyens de calage particulier, par la simple juxtaposition d'éléments d'identification ayant un côté plan en contact (éléments d'identification carrés encliquetés sur un support de repère en relation d'aboutement par exemple) ou en prévoyant des organes d'encliquetage ne formant pas pivot. The invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described and it is capable of variant embodiments. In particular, when the signs carried by the identification elements 1 have not no reading direction (in the case of a color for example), it is not necessary to provide for wedging (interlocking of angular pieces, for example) to prevent the pivoting of the identification elements relative to the reference support. When this is the case, this calibration can be carried out without any particular calibration means, by the simple juxtaposition of identification elements having a flat side in contact (square identification elements snapped onto a reference support in relation to abutment for example) or by providing latching members not forming a pivot.
