Description

"Ustensile pour tuer des insectes""Utensil for killing insects"
L'invention a trait à un ustensile pour tuer des insectes avec une grande efficacité en les frappant avec ledit ustensile, communément appelé chasse-mouche et repris tel quel dans le texte. L'ustensile est composé d'une poignée, formée par trois lanières flexibles ou plus, se recouvrant totalement dans la zone de la poignée afin de former celle-ci et étant disposées avec un certain recouvrement dans le prolongement de ladite poignée.The invention relates to a utensil for killing insects with great efficiency by striking them with said utensil, commonly known as a fly-catcher and included as such in the text. The utensil is composed of a handle, formed by three or more flexible strips, overlapping completely in the area of the handle in order to form the latter and being arranged with a certain overlap in the extension of said handle.
Les ustensiles chasse-mouches classiques, permettant de tuer des insectes en les frappant avec ledit ustensile, sont constitués d'un manche, plus ou moins flexibles, portant à son extrémité une plaquette perforée. Lorsque l'utilisateur frappe, la plaquette est déplacée à grande vitesse dans un sens perpendiculaire à la surface de la plaquette.Conventional fly-catching utensils, making it possible to kill insects by striking them with said utensil, consist of a handle, more or less flexible, carrying at its end a perforated plate. When the user hits, the wafer is moved at high speed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the wafer.
Un certain volume d'air est alors déplacé dont une partie limitée peut passer par les perforations. Une autre partie du volume d'air s'échappe sur les côtes de la plaquette et peut entraîner l'insecte hors du champ d'impact de celle-ci diminuant l'efficacité de l'ustensile.A certain volume of air is then displaced, a limited part of which can pass through the perforations. Another part of the air volume escapes on the ribs of the plate and can lead the insect out of the impact field of the latter decreasing the effectiveness of the utensil.
Le volume d'air s'échappant sur le coté de la plaquette est le plus élevé lorsque l'insecte est au repos sur une surface rigide, ne permettant pas le passage d'air. L'ustensile chasse-mouche selon l'invention permet, lors de la frappe, au volume d'air presque complet, de s'échapper par des interstices, ouverts lors du mouvement d'avancement. Le volume d'air passant à côté de l'ustensile est ainsi réduit, augmentant l'efficacité de celui-ci. L'ustensile est composé à cet effet d'un manche et de trois lanières ou plus, fixées sur ce manche et s'étendant dans le prolongement de celui-ci. Les lanières, mises à plat, se recouvrent partiellement dans une zone située entre le manche et l'extrémité des lanières. Ces lanières sont montées en zigzag et se touchent par leurs extrémités.The volume of air escaping on the side of the plate is the highest when the insect is at rest on a rigid surface, not allowing the passage of air. The fly-blower utensil according to the invention allows, when striking, with the almost complete air volume, to escape through interstices, open during the forward movement. The volume of air passing by the utensil is thus reduced, increasing its efficiency. The utensil is composed for this purpose of a handle and three or more strips, fixed on this handle and extending in the extension thereof. The strips, laid flat, partially overlap in an area between the handle and the end of the strips. These strips are mounted in a zigzag and touch each other at their ends.
Lors de la frappe, des interstices se forment entre les lanières permettant à l'air déplacé de passer par ces interstices. Les lanières sont reliées entre elles par des liens flexibles, fixés aux extrémités des lanières. Ces liens permettent de limiter les dimensions des interstices empêchant le passage des insectes.During striking, interstices form between the strips allowing the displaced air to pass through these interstices. The straps are connected together by flexible links, fixed to the ends of the straps. These links make it possible to limit the dimensions of the interstices preventing the passage of insects.
Quand l'ustensile chasse-mouche est mis à plat, les lanières se recouvrent sur une certaine surface dans la zone entre le manche et l'extrémité, tandis que aux extrémités, les lanières ne font que se toucher, us forment ainsi une surface sans passage et sans possibilités pour les insectes de s'échapper. L'ustensile selon l'invention est illustré aux figures suivantes. La figure 1 montre l'ustensile chasse-mouche en perspective. La figure 2 donne une vue de l'ustensile en position à plat en fin de course selon la direction A-A.When the fly-catcher is laid flat, the strips overlap on a certain surface in the area between the handle and the end, while at the ends, the strips only touch each other, thus forming a surface without passage and no possibility for insects to escape. The utensil according to the invention is illustrated in the following figures. Figure 1 shows the fly-catcher in perspective. Figure 2 gives a view of the utensil in the flat position at the end of travel in the direction A-A.
La figure 3 donne une vue de l'ustensile en position déployée selon la direction A-A. La figure 4 donne une vue de l'ustensile en position déployée selon la direction B-B. La figure 5 donne une vue de l'ustensile en position à plat en fin de course selon la direction B-B. Les dessins illustrent une manière de réaliser l'ustensile selon l'invention. L'ustensile chasse-mouche est composé d'un manche 1 constitué de plusieurs lanières 2. L'exemple illustré à la figure 1 comporte cinq lanières. Ces lanières 2 se recouvrent dans la zone du manche 1 et se déploient à partir du manche 1. Dans la zone 3, proche du manche 1, les lanières 2, mises à plat, se recouvrent partiellement tel qu'illustré à la figure 2. Ces lanières 2 sont disposées de façon à ce qu'un coté 4 d'une lanière 2 se trouve au dessus de la lanière 2' voisine de ce coté et à ce que l'autre coté 5 de cette lanière 2 se trouve en dessous de la lanière 2" voisine de l'autre coté 5.Figure 3 gives a view of the utensil in the deployed position in the direction A-A. Figure 4 gives a view of the utensil in the deployed position in the direction B-B. Figure 5 gives a view of the utensil in the flat position at the end of travel in direction B-B. The drawings illustrate a way of making the utensil according to the invention. The fly-catching utensil is composed of a handle 1 made up of several strips 2. The example illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises five strips. These strips 2 overlap in the area of the handle 1 and are deployed from the handle 1. In the area 3, close to the handle 1, the strips 2, laid flat, partially overlap as illustrated in FIG. 2. These strips 2 are arranged so that one side 4 of a strap 2 is located above the strap 2 ′ adjacent to this side and so that the other side 5 of this strap 2 is located below the 2 "strap next to the other side 5.
Ce recouvrement alternatif permet d'obtenir, lors du mouvement de frappe, un déploiement en zigzag des lanières 2 tel qu'illustré à la figure 3. Des interstices 6 se forment entre les lanières qui laissent passer une partie du volume d'air déplacée par le mouvement de frappe, tout en ne laissant pas de passage aux insectes, entraînés par ce déplacement d'air. Dans la zone 8, se trouvant au delà de la zone 3 et à l'opposé du manche 1, le recouvrement mutuel des lanières 2, diminue et tend vers zéro à l'extrémité 7 des lanières 2.This alternative covering makes it possible to obtain, during the striking movement, a zigzag deployment of the strips 2 as illustrated in FIG. 3. Interstices 6 are formed between the strips which allow part of the volume of air displaced by the striking movement, while leaving no passage for insects, entrained by this movement of air. In zone 8, located beyond zone 3 and opposite the handle 1, the mutual overlap of the strips 2, decreases and tends towards zero at the end 7 of the strips 2.
Mise à plat les lanières 2 se touchent à ces extrémités 7, qui sont reliées, l'une à l'autre, au moyen de liens 9 flexibles.Flattening the straps 2 touch each other at these ends 7, which are connected to each other by means of flexible links 9.
Les liens 9 assurent la stabilité de l'ustensile dans les zones 3 et 8 et règlent la dimension des interstices 6 entre les lanières 2 lors du déplacement pendant l'action de frappe.The links 9 ensure the stability of the utensil in zones 3 and 8 and regulate the dimension of the interstices 6 between the strips 2 during movement during the striking action.
Les lanières 2 ont la forme de rubans rectilignes et sont en tissus, tissé ou non tissé, ou en matière flexible, tel que plastique ou caoutchouc. Les lanières 2 peuvent aussi être composées d'un ruban de tissu, renforcé par une tige en matière flexible ou par un matelassage.The strips 2 have the form of straight ribbons and are made of fabric, woven or non-woven, or flexible material, such as plastic or rubber. The straps 2 can also be composed of a fabric ribbon, reinforced by a rod of flexible material or by padding.
Suivant une variante, ces lanières sont pourvues de trous permettant l'évacuation de l'air déplacée lors de la frappe. Ces trous ne permettent cependant pas le passage des insectesAccording to a variant, these straps are provided with holes allowing the evacuation of the air displaced during striking. These holes do not allow the passage of insects
Dans la poignée 1 les lanières 2 sont enroulées l'une sur l'autre et cousues ou collées ensemble de telle façon que d'une part un manche 1 solide est formé et que d'autre part les lanières 2 dans la zone 3 se recouvrent en zigzag.In the handle 1 the strips 2 are wound one on the other and sewn or glued together so that on the one hand a solid handle 1 is formed and on the other hand the strips 2 in the area 3 overlap zigzag.
Selon une variante, le manche est constitué par un corps cylindrique en bois ou plastique, sur lequel, à une exterminé, sont fixées les lanières, qui se recouvrent de façon à assurer un déploiement en zigzag dans la zone proche du manche. Le nombre de lanières 2 peut varier mais ne peut être inférieur à trois. Alternatively, the handle is constituted by a cylindrical body of wood or plastic, on which, at an exterminated, are fixed the strips, which overlap so as to ensure a zigzag deployment in the area near the handle. The number of strips 2 can vary but cannot be less than three.
