Description

Dispositif d'alimentation de titres en bande continue pour dispositif de traitement de titres, notamment de titres de transport comportant des informations magnétiques.Continuous-band ticket feeding device for a ticket processing device, in particular a transport ticket comprising magnetic information.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'alimentation de titres en bande continue pour dispositif de traitement de titres, notamment de titre de transport comportant des informations magnétiques.The present invention relates to a device for feeding tickets into a continuous strip for a device for processing tickets, in particular a ticket containing magnetic information.
Elle trouve une application générale dans l'alimentation de titres en bande continue, et plus particulièrement de titres de transport aérien ou ferroviaire, comportant notamment des informations magnétiques. Elle s'applique aussi aux bandes souples (papier ou analogue) dépourvues de piste magnétique.It finds a general application in the supply of continuous band tickets, and more particularly of air or rail tickets, comprising in particular magnetic information. It also applies to flexible strips (paper or the like) without a magnetic strip.
Dans les Brevets FR 88 00733 et FR 88 00734, la Demanderesse a déjà décrit un dispositif de traitement de titres compre- nant un poste d'introduction, un poste de délivrance, un poste d'inscription/lecture magnétique, et un poste d'impression thermique.In Patents FR 88 00733 and FR 88 00734, the Applicant has already described a device for processing titles comprising an introduction station, a delivery station, a magnetic reading / writing station, and a recording station. thermal printing.
Pour l'alimentation des titres en bande continue, des bacs au nombre de deux ou trois sont prévus pour alimenter en bande le poste d'introduction. Chaque bac contient un stock continu de' titres en bande. Les titres sont délimités chacun par des lignes d'affaiblissement. A chaque bac est associée une sortie destinée à alimenter le dispositif de traitement de titres.For the feeding of the titles in continuous band, two or three bins are provided to supply the introduction station with band. Each tray contains a continuous stock of 'Band titles. The titles are each delimited by weakening lines. Each bin is associated with an output intended to supply the ticket processing device.
En pratique, des moyens déflecteurs permettent de guider chaque bande de son bac vers sa sortie associée et réciproquement .In practice, deflector means make it possible to guide each strip of its tray towards its associated outlet and vice versa.
En pratique, les bacs sont disposés dans le plan horizontal, les uns à côtés des autres, et les sorties sont alignées et superposées dans un plan vertical. Les moyens déflecteurs définissent un chemin ayant au moins une partie courbe par rapport aux plans horizontal et vertical pour acheminer une bande de son bac vers sa sortie associée et réciproquement.In practice, the tanks are arranged in the horizontal plane, one beside the other, and the outlets are aligned and superimposed in a vertical plane. The deflector means define a path having at least one curved part by with respect to the horizontal and vertical planes to convey a strip from its bin to its associated outlet and vice versa.
L'inconvénient de ce genre de déflexion réside dans le fait que la bande est susceptible d'être pliée au niveau de la partie courbe de la déflexion, ce qui peut déformer de façon irréversible la bande souple, notamment lorsque la bande est maintenue longtemps au repos ou en attente dans cette position courbée.The disadvantage of this kind of deflection lies in the fact that the strip is capable of being folded at the level of the curved part of the deflection, which can irreversibly deform the flexible strip, in particular when the strip is held for a long time at resting or waiting in this bent position.
La présente invention remédie à cet inconvénient.The present invention overcomes this drawback.

For all intents and purposes, this International Application forms an integral part of this description.
En référence à la figure 2, on a défini un plan horizontal H et deux plans verticaux VI et V2, orthogonaux entre eux. Dans la suite de la description, en l'absence de dispositions contraires, "vertical" correspond au plan vertical VI.With reference to FIG. 2, we have defined a horizontal plane H and two vertical planes VI and V2, orthogonal to each other. In the following description, in the absence of contrary provisions, "vertical" corresponds to the vertical plane VI.
En référence à la figure 1, on a représenté (en traits tiretés) un dispositif de traitement de titres à piste magnétique DIS, faisant usage d'une alimentation triple en bande, conditionnée en paravent.Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown (in dashed lines) a device for processing titles with a magnetic strip DIS, making use of a triple strip feed, conditioned in a screen.
Un chariot CT supporte sur sa partie supérieure le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS. A l'intérieur du chariot, des bacs BA, individualisés en BAI à BA3, sont prévus pour alimenter en bande le poste d'introduction (non représenté) du dispositif de traitement de titres DIS. Chaque bac BA contient un stock continu de titres en bande BN, individualisée en BAI, BA2 , et BA3. Les titres TI sont délimités chacun par des lignes d'affaiblissement AF. A chaque bac BA est associée une sortie S, individualisée respectivement en SI à S3. Chaque sortie est destinée à alimenter en bande le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS.A CT carriage supports on its upper part the DIS ticket processing device. Inside the carriage, BA trays, individualized in BAI to BA3, are provided to supply the introduction station (not shown) with the DIS ticket processing device with tape. Each BA bin contains a continuous stock of BN band titles, individualized into BAI, BA2, and BA3. TI titles are each delimited by AF weakening lines. Each bin BA is associated with an output S, individualized respectively in SI to S3. Each output is intended to supply the DIS ticket processing device with tape.
Chaque sortie S est définie par des galets et contre galets permettant d'introduire une bande vers le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS.Each output S is defined by rollers and against rollers making it possible to introduce a strip towards the ticket processing device DIS.
En pratique, la sortie SI est définie par deux galets 2 et 4 qui sont montés fou afin d'éviter tout frottement entre des éventuelles parties fixes et la bande en mouvement. Les galets 2 et 4 sont espacés l'un de l'autre d'une distance sensiblement supérieure à l'épaisseur de la bande, c'est-à- dire quelques mm.In practice, the output SI is defined by two rollers 2 and 4 which are mounted idly in order to avoid any friction between any fixed parts and the moving band. The rollers 2 and 4 are spaced from each other by a distance substantially greater than the thickness of the strip, that is to say a few mm.
La sortie S2 est définie par les galets 4 et 6, et la sortie S3 est définie par les galets 6 et 8.The output S2 is defined by the rollers 4 and 6, and the output S3 is defined by the rollers 6 and 8.
Les sorties SI à S3 sont alignées et superposées les unes sur les autres dans le plan vertical VI.The outputs SI to S3 are aligned and superimposed on each other in the vertical plane VI.
En référence à la figure 2, le dispositif de distribution de titres comprend un chariot CT susceptible de glisser dans des glissières horizontales GL1 et GL2.Referring to Figure 2, the ticket distribution device comprises a carriage CT capable of sliding in horizontal slides GL1 and GL2.
Le chariot CT forme une boîte parallélépipédique, avec deux joues verticales 10 et 12, parallèles au plan vertical VI, deux plaques horizontales 14 et 16, parallèles au plan horizontal H, et un fond vertical 18, parallèle au plan vertical V2.The CT carriage forms a parallelepiped box, with two vertical cheeks 10 and 12, parallel to the vertical plane VI, two horizontal plates 14 and 16, parallel to the horizontal plane H, and a vertical bottom 18, parallel to the vertical plane V2.
Le chariot formant boîte, est susceptible d'être fermé par un couvercle vertical 20, parallèle au plan vertical V2.The box-forming carriage is capable of being closed by a vertical cover 20, parallel to the vertical plane V2.
Le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS est destiné à être placé sur la partie supérieure horizontale 16 de la boîte. Chaque bande BN peut contenir 1000 titres TI, délimités par des lignes d'affaiblissement AF. Un titre TI a une longueur de l'ordre de 203 mm et une largeur de 82,5 mm. Une piste magnétique d'une largeur de 16 mm peut s'étendre longitudina- lement de part et d'autre du titre.The DIS ticket processing device is intended to be placed on the horizontal upper part 16 of the box. Each BN band can contain 1000 TI titles, delimited by AF weakening lines. A TI ticket has a length of around 203 mm and a width of 82.5 mm. A magnetic strip with a width of 16 mm can extend longitudinally on either side of the ticket.
Les bacs BAI, BA2 et BA3 peuvent être disposés sur la plaque horizontale 14, les uns à côté des autres par rapport audit plan horizontal H, et à l'intérieur du chariot CT.The BAI, BA2 and BA3 tanks can be arranged on the horizontal plate 14, one beside the other with respect to said horizontal plane H, and inside the carriage CT.
Une cloison verticale 19 est prévue pour délimiter une case de rebut RB entre la cloison 19 et la joue verticale 12.A vertical partition 19 is provided to delimit a waste bin RB between the partition 19 and the vertical cheek 12.
On fait de nouveau référence à la figure 1.Reference is again made to Figure 1.
Selon l'invention, un organe de renvoi et de guidage ORl définit un chemin sensiblement vertical CVl, allant du bac BAI, jusqu'à l'organe ORl et un premier chemin sensiblement horizontal CHl allant du premier organe ORl jusqu'à la première sortie SI.According to the invention, a return and guide member OR1 defines a substantially vertical path CVl, going from the tank BAI, to the member ORl and a first substantially horizontal path CHl going from the first member ORl to the first outlet. IF.
Le chemin vertical CVl et le chemin horizontal CHl forment entre eux un angle sensiblement droit à un emplacement El. La première bande BNl est pliée au voisinage du premier emplace- ment El, selon les lignes d'affaiblissement AF1 de deux titres adjacents TI11 et TI12, lorsque la bande BNl est au repos, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'elle n'est pas entraînée par des moyens d'entraînement du dispositif de traitement de titres.The vertical path CVl and the horizontal path CHl form between them a substantially right angle at a location El. The first strip BNl is folded in the vicinity of the first location El, along the lines of weakening AF1 of two adjacent titles TI11 and TI12 , when the strip BN1 is at rest, that is to say when it is not driven by drive means of the ticket processing device.
De même, un second organe de renvoi et de guidage OR2 est prévu pour définir un second chemin sensiblement vertical CV2, allant du second bac BA2 jusqu'au second organe OR2 et un second chemin sensiblement horizontal CH2, allant du second organe OR2 jusqu'à la seconde sortie S2.Likewise, a second return and guide member OR2 is provided to define a second substantially vertical path CV2, going from the second tank BA2 to the second organ OR2 and a second substantially horizontal path CH2, going from the second organ OR2 to the second S2 output.
Le second chemin vertical CV2 et le second chemin horizontal CH2 forment entre eux un angle sensiblement droit à un second emplacement E2. La seconde bande BN2 est pliée au voisinage du second emplacement E2, selon les lignes d'affaiblissement AF2 de deux titres adjacents TI21 et TI22, lorsque la seconde bande BN2 est au repos.The second vertical path CV2 and the second horizontal path CH2 form between them a substantially right angle at a second location E2. The second band BN2 is folded in the vicinity of the second location E2, along the lines of weakening AF2 of two adjacent titles TI21 and TI22, when the second band BN2 is at rest.
Un troisième organe de renvoi et de guidage OR3 peut être prévu également pour le troisième bac BA3. Ce troisième organe de renvoi peut être agencé de façon similaire à ceux décrits en référence à la figure 1 pour les organes ORl et OR2.A third return and guide member OR3 can also be provided for the third tray BA3. This third return member can be arranged similarly to those described with reference to FIG. 1 for the organs OR1 and OR2.
Dans une variante plus compacte représentée en référence à la figure 1, il est prévu d'associer à la troisième bande BN3, un mécanisme à deux organes de renvoi et de guidage OR3 et OR4 qui définissent un chemin vertical CV4 allant du bac BA3 jusqu'à l'organe OR4 , un chemin sensiblement horizontal comprenant des premier et second tronçons CH4 et CH3, allant de l'organe 0R4 jusqu'à l'organe OR3, et un autre chemin vertical CV3, allant de l'organe OR3 jusqu'à la sortie S3.In a more compact variant represented with reference to FIG. 1, provision is made to associate with the third strip BN3, a mechanism with two return and guide members OR3 and OR4 which define a vertical path CV4 going from the tray BA3 to to the organ OR4, a substantially horizontal path comprising first and second sections CH4 and CH3, going from the organ 0R4 to the organ OR3, and another vertical path CV3, going from the organ OR3 to the output S3.
Un tel agencement permet d'utiliser de façon optimale le volume situé sous le dispositif de traitement de titres, en opérant une translation longitudinale de la troisième bande.Such an arrangement makes it possible to optimally use the volume located under the ticket processing device, by operating a longitudinal translation of the third strip.
Le chemin vertical CV4 et le tronçon horizontal CH4 forment entre eux un angle sensiblement droit à un emplacement E4.The vertical path CV4 and the horizontal section CH4 form between them a substantially right angle at a location E4.
Le chemin vertical CV3 et le tronçon horizontal CH3 forment entre eux un angle sensiblement droit à un emplacement E3.The vertical path CV3 and the horizontal section CH3 form between them a substantially right angle at a location E3.
Les organes OR3 et OR4 sont disposés les uns par rapport aux autres, de telle sorte que la troisième bande BA3 est pliée au voisinage des emplacements E3 et E4 selon les lignes d'affaiblissement de deux titres adjacents lorsque ladite troisième bande est au repos.The organs OR3 and OR4 are arranged with respect to each other, so that the third strip BA3 is folded in the vicinity of the locations E3 and E4 along the weakening lines of two adjacent titles when said third strip is at rest.
Ainsi, l'organe OR3 permet de plier les titres TI31 et TI32 au niveau des lignes d'affaiblissement AF3. De même, l'organe OR4 permet de plier la bande BN3 au niveau des lignes d'affaiblissement AF4 des titres TI32 et TI33.Thus, the organ OR3 makes it possible to fold the titles TI31 and TI32 at the level of the lines of weakening AF3. Likewise, the organ OR4 allows the BN3 band to be folded at the level of the AF4 weakening lines of the titles TI32 and TI33.
En pratique, les organes de renvoi et de guidage ORl à OR4 sont des galets fous, cylindriques, de largeur sensiblement supérieures à celles des bandes, et d'axes de rotation respectifs XI à X4, sensiblement parallèles horizontalement.In practice, the return and guide members OR1 to OR4 are idle, cylindrical rollers, of width substantially greater than those of the bands, and of respective axes of rotation XI to X4, substantially parallel horizontally.
Les organes ORl à OR4 sont coplanaires par rapport à un plan V2 et d'axe de rotation X non coplanaires horizontalement.The organs OR1 to OR4 are coplanar with respect to a plane V2 and with an axis of rotation X which are not coplanar horizontally.
Par exemple, la largeur des galets OR est de l'ordre de 90 mm pour des titres d'une largeur de l'ordre 82,5 mm.For example, the width of the OR rollers is of the order of 90 mm for titles with a width of the order of 82.5 mm.
Selon l'invention, chaque galet fou permet une déflexion correcte de la bande lorsqu'elle doit avoir une bifurcation courbe entre un chemin vertical et un chemin horizontal, même si celle-ci n'est pas centrée sur le galet fou.According to the invention, each idler roller allows correct deflection of the strip when it must have a curved bifurcation between a vertical path and a horizontal path, even if the latter is not centered on the idler roller.
En pratique, les chemins de chaque bande BN sont au moins partiellement délimités par des moyens déflecteurs, de largeur sensiblement inférieure (60 mm par exemple ) à celle (82,5 mm par exemple) de la bande de titres et ayant deux parties sensiblement parallèles et espacées les unes des autres d'une distance choisie (15 mm par exemple).In practice, the paths of each strip BN are at least partially delimited by deflector means, of width substantially less (60 mm for example) than that (82.5 mm for example) of the title strip and having two substantially parallel parts and spaced from each other by a chosen distance (15 mm for example).
Les moyens déflecteurs ont une forme adaptée pour guider la bande dans le sens allant du bac vers la sortie et ainsi que dans le sens allant de la sortie vers le bac.The deflector means have a shape adapted to guide the strip in the direction from the tray to the outlet and as well as in the direction from the outlet to the tray.
Il est à remarquer que l'organe de renvoi et de guidage ORl joue aussi le rôle de déflecteur pour la bande BAI.It should be noted that the return and guide member OR1 also plays the role of deflector for the BAI strip.
Par exemple, les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin horizontal CHl comprennent deux barrières planes 30 et 32 disposées horizontalement et sensiblement au regard de la sortie SI. Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin vertical CVl comprennent une barrière courbe 34, sensiblement parallèle au galet ORl, à une distance choisie de celui-ci. Lorsque la bande BAI est entraînée de la sortie SI vers le bac BAI, elle est susceptible d'être guidée par les parties planes 30 et 32 ainsi que la partie courbe 34, afin d'être ramenée dans le bac BAI .For example, the deflector means associated with the horizontal path CHl comprise two flat barriers 30 and 32 arranged horizontally and substantially facing the output SI. The deflector means associated with the vertical path CVl comprise a curved barrier 34, substantially parallel to the roller ORl, at a chosen distance from the latter. When the BAI strip is driven from the output SI towards the BAI tank, it can be guided by the flat parts 30 and 32 as well as the curved part 34, in order to be brought back into the BAI tank.
Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin horizontal CH2 comprennent deux barrières planes 32 et 36, disposées horizontalement et sensiblement au regard de la sortie S2. Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin vertical CV2 comprennent une barrière courbe 36, sensiblement parallèle au galet OR2, à une distance choisie de celui-ci.The deflector means associated with the horizontal path CH2 comprise two plane barriers 32 and 36, arranged horizontally and substantially facing the outlet S2. The deflector means associated with the vertical path CV2 comprise a curved barrier 36, substantially parallel to the roller OR2, at a chosen distance from the latter.
Lorsque la bande BA2 est entraînée de la sortie S2 vers le bac BA2, elle est susceptible d'être guidée par les parties planes 32 et 36, ainsi que la partie courbe 38, afin d'être guidée et ramenée dans le bac BA2.When the strip BA2 is driven from the outlet S2 towards the tray BA2, it can be guided by the flat parts 32 and 36, as well as the curved part 38, in order to be guided and brought back into the tray BA2.
Par exemple, les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin vertical CV3 comprennent une barrière courbe 40 dont l'une des extrémités est disposée sensiblement au regard du galet 6 de la sortie S3. La barrière courbe 40 est sensiblement parallèle au galet OR3, à une distance choisie de celui-ci.For example, the deflector means associated with the vertical path CV3 comprise a curved barrier 40, one of the ends of which is disposed substantially facing the roller 6 of the outlet S3. The curved barrier 40 is substantially parallel to the roller OR3, at a chosen distance from the latter.
Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin horizontal CH3 comprennent une barrière oblique 42 suivie d'une barrière horizontale 44, sensiblement parallèle au galet OR3, à une distance choisie de celui-ci.The deflector means associated with the horizontal path CH3 comprise an oblique barrier 42 followed by a horizontal barrier 44, substantially parallel to the roller OR3, at a chosen distance from the latter.
Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin horizontal CH4 comprennent une barrière oblique 46, sensiblement parallèle au galet OR4 , à une distance choisie de celui-ci.The deflector means associated with the horizontal path CH4 comprise an oblique barrier 46, substantially parallel to the roller OR4, at a chosen distance from the latter.
Les moyens déflecteurs associés au chemin vertical CV4 comprennent une barrière plane horizontale 48, sensiblement parallèle au galet OR4 , à une distance choisie de celui-ci.The deflector means associated with the vertical path CV4 comprise a horizontal planar barrier 48, substantially parallel to the roller OR4, at a chosen distance from the latter.
Lorsque la bande BA3 est entraînée de la sortie S3 vers le bac BA3, elle est susceptible d'être guidée par les barrières 40, 42, 44, 46 et 48, afin d'être ramenée dans le bac BA3. En pratique, la distance séparant les bords des chemins horizontaux CHl, CH2, CH3 et CH4 ainsi que du chemin vertical CV3 est de l'ordre de 15mm. Le diamètre des galets ORl à OR4 est de l'ordre de 60mm. La distance séparant les axes XI et X2 est de l'ordre de 120mm dans le plan V2 , et de l'ordre de 20 mm verticalement. La distance séparant les axes X2 et X3 est de l'ordre de 100 mm dans le plan V2 , et de l'ordre de 35 mm verticalement. La distance séparant les axes X3 et X4 est de l'ordre de 120 mm dans le plan V2, et de l'ordre de 20 mm verticalement VI. La distance entre l'axe X4 et la partie plane 48 est de l'ordre de 60 mm verticalement. La distance entre l'axe X4 et le bac BA3, verticalement est de l'ordre de 400 mm.When the strip BA3 is driven from the outlet S3 towards the tray BA3, it can be guided by the barriers 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48, in order to be brought back into the tray BA3. In practice, the distance separating the edges of the horizontal paths CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4 as well as of the vertical path CV3 is of the order of 15mm. The diameter of the rollers OR1 to OR4 is of the order of 60mm. The distance separating the axes XI and X2 is of the order of 120mm in the plane V2, and of the order of 20mm vertically. The distance separating the axes X2 and X3 is of the order of 100 mm in the plane V2, and of the order of 35 mm vertically. The distance separating the axes X3 and X4 is of the order of 120 mm in the plane V2, and of the order of 20 mm vertically VI. The distance between the axis X4 and the flat part 48 is of the order of 60 mm vertically. The distance between the axis X4 and the tray BA3, vertically is of the order of 400 mm.
Bien évidemment, d'autres formes et agencements de déflecteurs et de galets fous peuvent être mis en place afin de guider une bande de son bac vers sa sortie et réciproquement.Obviously, other shapes and arrangements of deflectors and idle rollers can be put in place in order to guide a strip from its tray towards its exit and vice versa.
Par exemple, dans une variante plus compacte, les bacs BAI à BA3 sont placés en quinconce sous le dispositif de traitement de titres. Dans cette variante, l'organe ORl est agencé de telle sorte qu'il opère un changement d'orientation de la bande BNl, rendu nécessaire par le changement de disposition des bacs. Cet agencement consiste à incliner verticalement l'axe de rotation XI, et à placer le bac BAI horizontalement et parallèlement aux bacs BA2 et BA3, au lieu d'être aligné horizontalement dans le même plan V2, comme en référence à la figure 1.For example, in a more compact variant, the bins BAI to BA3 are placed in staggered rows under the ticket processing device. In this variant, the member OR1 is arranged so that it operates a change in orientation of the strip BN1, made necessary by the change in arrangement of the tanks. This arrangement consists in tilting the axis of rotation XI vertically, and in placing the BAI tank horizontally and parallel to the BA2 and BA3 tanks, instead of being aligned horizontally in the same plane V2, as with reference to FIG. 1.
En référence aux figures 1 à 4, le dispositif d'alimentation de titres en bande est mobile en translation.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the device for feeding strip titles is movable in translation.
En référence aux figures 2 et 3, la translation du chariot s'effectue dans des glissières GL1 et GL2 disposées dans la partie inférieure 20 formant couvercle du chariot.With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the translation of the carriage takes place in slides GL1 and GL2 arranged in the lower part 20 forming the cover of the carriage.
En variante, en référence à la figure 4, le chariot est mobile en translation sur des roulettes RO. Le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS est solidaire du dispositif d'alimentation CT. En pratique, le dispositif de traitement de titres DIS est disposé sur la partie supérieure du chariot CT selon l'invention.As a variant, with reference to FIG. 4, the carriage is movable in translation on RO rollers. The DIS ticket processing device is integral with the CT feeding device. In practice, the DIS ticket processing device is arranged on the upper part of the carriage CT according to the invention.
Selon l'invention, il est prévu un mécanisme de mise en tension et de rangement d'au moins un câble d'alimentation électrique et/ou de communication 101 ayant une extrémité 100, destinée à être reliée à un point fixe 102 et une autre extrémité 104 destinée à être reliée au dispositif de traitement de titres.According to the invention, there is provided a mechanism for tensioning and storing at least one electrical supply and / or communication cable 101 having one end 100, intended to be connected to a fixed point 102 and another end 104 intended to be connected to the ticket processing device.
Le câble 101 peut être le câble d'alimentation électrique et/ou un câble de communication destiné à véhiculer des informations de communication entre le dispositif du traitement de titres et une station de travail distante.Cable 101 can be the power supply cable and / or a communication cable intended to convey communication information between the ticket processing device and a remote workstation.
Le mécanisme de mise en tension et de rangement comprend des moyens 110 à rappel à élastique, du type ressort dont l'une des extrémités 112 est solidaire du dispositif d'alimentation et dont l'autre extrémité 114 est accrochée au câble 101.The tensioning and storage mechanism comprises elastic return means 110, of the spring type, one of the ends 112 of which is integral with the supply device and the other end of which is hooked to the cable 101.
Le rappel élastique 110 est propre à se détendre en réponse à une translation d'éloignement du dispositif d'alimentation par rapport au point fixe 102 et propre à se tendre en réponse à un mouvement de rapprochement du dispositif d'alimentation par rapport au point fixe 102.The elastic return 110 is able to relax in response to a translation away from the supply device with respect to the fixed point 102 and suitable for tightening in response to a movement of approach of the supply device with respect to the fixed point 102.
En pratique, deux poulies 120 et 122 permettent au ressort 110 d'avoir deux trajets horizontaux et un trajet vertical, pour permettre un défilement et un rangement du câble selon une grande longueur. In practice, two pulleys 120 and 122 allow the spring 110 to have two horizontal paths and a vertical path, to allow the cable to travel and be stored along a great length.
