Description

Dispositif d'assemblage rapide applicable notamment aux chaussures à talons amovibles Quick assembly device applicable in particular to shoes with removable heels
La présente invention porte sur un dispositif d'assemblage et de désasse blage rapide et facile de deux pièces entre elles sans nécessiter d'outil particulier, ainsi que sur des applications de ce dispositif. Parmi ces application on peut citer notamment la conception de chaussures dont les talons seraient amovibles et re plaçables, la conception de meubles aisément démontables sans nécessiter d'outils, ou encore la conception de produits composés d'éléments s' assemblant en chaîne tels que des rallonges de tables. L'invention présente l'avantage, par rapport à l'état de la technique, de permettre un assemblage et désassemblage aisé, instantané, solide, sans nécessiter d'effort ni d'outil. Elle permet une manipulation par tous, y compris par des utilisateurs peu habiles voire mal voyants, ou par des utilisateurs placés dans des situations peu confortables comme cela peut être le cas par exemple lorsque que l'on souhaite substituer rapidement des talons de chaussures adaptés à la marche par des talons de chaussures adaptés à la conduite en voiture. La description de l'invention se fait par référence aux figures 1 à 8.The present invention relates to a device for assembling and removing fast and easy locking of two parts together without requiring any particular tool, as well as to applications of this device. Among these applications, mention may be made in particular of the design of shoes whose heels would be removable and replaceable, the design of furniture that can be easily dismantled without the need for tools, or the design of products composed of elements joining together in chains such as table extensions. The invention has the advantage, compared to the state of the art, of allowing easy, instantaneous, solid assembly and disassembly, without requiring any effort or tool. It allows manipulation by all, including by users who are not very skillful or even visually impaired, or by users placed in uncomfortable situations as may be the case for example when it is desired to quickly replace the heels of shoes adapted to walking with heels of shoes suitable for driving in the car. The description of the invention is made with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.
La figure 1 présente deux pièces (1) et (2) que l'on souhaite assembler. La pièce (1) comprend un doigt (5) et un ou plusieurs doigts (6), tous doigts parallèles entre eux. La pièce (2) comporte un évidement (9) et un ou plusieurs évidements (6) tels que, lorsque les pièces (1) et (2) sont assemblées, le doigt (5) coopère avec l' évidement (9) et les doigts (6) coopèrent avec les évidements (11). Le diamètre du doigt (5) est sensiblement égal au diamètre de l' évidement (9) . Le diamètre des doigts (6) est sensiblement égal au diamètre des évidements (11) . Le diamètre du doigt (5) est supérieur au diamètre des doigts (6), de manière à ce que le doigt (5) ne puisse entrer que dans l' évidement (9) et pas dans les évidements (11) . De plus le doigt (5) est de longueur supérieure à tous les doigts (β) de manière à ce que le positionnement des pièces (1) et, (2) à assembler consiste dans un premier temps à insérer le doigt (5) dans l' évidement (9) r ce qui assure un alignement axial entre les pièces, et dans un second temps à insérer les doigts (6) dans les évidements (11), ce qui assure un positionnement angulaire entre les pièces. Il est ainsi aisé de positionner correctement entre elles les pièces (1) et (2) puisque le doigt (5) ne peut entrer que dans l' évidement (9) et que, lors de cette opération les doigts (6) n'on nullement besoin dans un premier temps d'être aligné avec ,les évidements (11) . Le fait que le doigt (5) soit plus long et plus large que le doigt (6) permet donc un positionnement en deux temps des pièces (1) et (2)' à assembler, c'est-à-dire un premier positionnement rapide sans avoir à regarder pour loger le doigt (5) dans l'évidement (9), puis un second positionnement guidé par le fait que le premier est déjà fait, qui permet de loger les doigts (6) dans les évidements (11). Un évasement (10) au niveau de l'orifice de l'évidement (9) peut être prévu pour faciliter le guidage et l'entrée du doigt (5) dans l'évidement (9).Figure 1 shows two parts (1) and (2) that we want to assemble. The part (1) comprises a finger (5) and one or more fingers (6), all fingers parallel to each other. The part (2) has a recess (9) and one or more recesses (6) such that, when the parts (1) and (2) are assembled, the finger (5) cooperates with the recess (9) and the fingers (6) cooperate with the recesses (11). The diameter of the finger (5) is substantially equal to the diameter of the recess (9). The diameter of the fingers (6) is substantially equal to the diameter of the recesses (11). The diameter of the finger (5) is greater than the diameter of the fingers (6), so that the finger (5) can only enter the recess (9) and not the recesses (11). In addition, the finger (5) is longer than all the fingers (β) so that the positioning of the parts (1) and, (2) to be assembled consists first of all in inserting the finger (5) into the recess (9) r which ensures axial alignment between the parts, and secondly inserting the fingers (6) into the recesses (11), which ensures angular positioning between the parts. It is thus easy to correctly position the parts (1) and (2) between them since the finger (5) can only enter the recess (9) and that, during this operation, the fingers (6) are not at first need not be aligned with, the recesses (11). The fact that the finger (5) is longer and wider than the finger (6) therefore allows positioning in two stages of the parts (1) and (2) ' to be assembled, that is to say a first positioning fast without having to look to accommodate the finger (5) in the recess (9), then a second positioning guided by the fact that the first is already made, which allows the fingers (6) to be housed in the recesses (11) . A flare (10) at the orifice of the recess (9) can be provided to facilitate guiding and entry of the finger (5) into the recess (9).
Une fois les pièces positionnées un dispositif permet de verrouiller l'assemblage. La figure 1 présente un dispositif de verrouillage constitué d'un couple d'aimants permanents (7) et (12) placés respectivement sur les pièces (1) et (2) . Il s'agit d'un exemple non limitatif de dispositif de verrouillage.Once the parts are positioned, a device allows the assembly to be locked. Figure 1 shows a locking device consisting of a couple of permanent magnets (7) and (12) placed respectively on the parts (1) and (2). This is a non-limiting example of a locking device.
Un seul ou une pluralité de doigts (6) peuvent être prévus, et le couple d'aimants permanents (7) et (12) peut être placé en divers emplacements. Ainsi la figure 2 présente deux pièces que l'on souhaite assembler mais, comparativement à la figure 1, d'une part les deux aimants permanents (7) et (12) ne sont pas situés au centre des surfaces en contact des pièces (1) et (2), d'autre part un seul doigt (6) et un seul évidement (11) sont prévus.A single or a plurality of fingers (6) can be provided, and the pair of permanent magnets (7) and (12) can be placed in various locations. Thus, FIG. 2 presents two parts that one wishes to assemble, but, compared with FIG. 1, on the one hand the two permanent magnets (7) and (12) are not located at the center of the surfaces in contact with the parts (1 ) and (2), on the other hand a single finger (6) and a single recess (11) are provided.
La figure 3 présente une conception de l'invention dans laquelle le verrouillage s'effectue au moyen d'une goupille (16) traversant simultanément la pièce (2) dans laquelle a été percé un trou (15), et le doigt (5) dans lequel a été percé un trou (13) . La goupille (16) est reliée à la pièceFigure 3 shows a design of the invention in which the locking is effected by means of a pin (16) simultaneously passing through the part (2) in which a hole (15) has been drilled, and the finger (5) in which a hole has been drilled (13). The pin (16) is connected to the part
(2) par l'intermédiaire d'une chaînette (17) afin d'éviter tout risque de l'égarer la goupille lorsque le dispositif n'est pas verrouillé. La figure 4 présente une conception de l'invention dans laquelle le doigt (5) comprend une gorge destinée, lorsque les pièces (1) et (2) sont assemblées, à coopérer avec des billes (18) situées dans l'évidement (9). Ces billes (18) poussées par des ressorts assurent la fonction de verrouillage lorsqu'elles se trouvent logées à l'intérieur de la gorge pratiquée dans le doigt (5) .(2) by means of a chain (17) in order to avoid any risk of losing the pin when the device is not locked. FIG. 4 shows a design of the invention in which the finger (5) comprises a groove intended, when the parts (1) and (2) are assembled, to cooperate with balls (18) located in the recess (9 ). These balls (18) pushed by springs ensure the locking function when they are housed inside the groove formed in the finger (5).
La Figure 5 présente une conception de dispositif d'assemblage selon l'invention mettant en œuvre un dispositif de verrouillage plus sophistiqué. Dans cette conception le verrouillage est assuré par une tige (3) traversant simultanément la pièce (2), dans laquelle est percé un trou (15), et le doigt .(5) dans lequel est percé un trou (13) . La tige est conçue en deux tronçons de diamètres différents, que l'on désignera par d et D comme indiqué sur la figure 5. Le diamètre d est sensiblement inférieur au diamètre D. Le diamètre D est sensiblement égal au diamètre du trou (13) . Une fente (20) parallèle au trou (13) est aménagée dans le doigt (5) de telle manière que ce doigt (5) puisse s'insérer dans l'évidement (9) y compris en présence de la tige (3). La largeur de cette fente (20) étant supérieure à d mais inférieure à D, le doigt (5) ne peut s'insérer dans l'évidement (9) que si le tronçon de tige traversant l'évidement (9) est de diamètre d. Pour mettre en œuvre le verrouillage il convient donc :Figure 5 shows a design of assembly device according to the invention implementing a more sophisticated locking device. In this design, the locking is ensured by a rod (3) simultaneously passing through the part (2), in which a hole (15) is drilled, and the finger. (5) in which a hole (13) is drilled. The rod is designed in two sections of different diameters, which will be designated by d and D as indicated in FIG. 5. The diameter d is substantially less than the diameter D. The diameter D is substantially equal to the diameter of the hole (13) . A slot (20) parallel to the hole (13) is arranged in the finger (5) so that this finger (5) can be inserted into the recess (9) even in the presence of the rod (3). The width of this slot (20) being greater than d but less than D, the finger (5) can only be inserted into the recess (9) if the section of rod passing through the recess (9) is of diameter d . To implement the locking, it is therefore necessary:
- de tirer sur la tige (3) de manière à ce que le tronçon situé dans l'évidement (9) soit de diamètre d,- pull the rod (3) so that the section located in the recess (9) is of diameter d,
- d'insérer le doigt (5) dans l'évidement (9), la tige (3) passant à l'intérieur de la fente (20), - de pousser sur la tige (3) de manière à faire entrer une partie de tige de diamètre D à l'intérieur du trou (13) . Le dispositif est alors verrouillé puisque le doigt (5) ne peut plus être retiré, la largeur de la fente (20) étant inférieure au diamètre D. Selon un mode de conception plus sophistiqué, la tige (3) est dotée d'une goupille (26) ou autre dispositif connu, ce qui interdit de retirer la tige (3) du trou (15) et ainsi évite tout risque de l'égarer. Un ressort (21) peut de surcroît être prévu pour maintenir la tige (3) spontanément en position de verrouillage, le déverrouillage nécessitant un léger effort de l'utilisateur pour contrarier la force de rappel du ressort.- insert the finger (5) into the recess (9), the rod (3) passing inside the slot (20), - push on the rod (3) so as to bring in a part of rod of diameter D inside the hole (13). The device is then locked since the finger (5) can no longer be removed, the width of the slot (20) being less than the diameter D. According to a more sophisticated design, the rod (3) is provided with a pin (26) or other known device, which prohibits removing the rod (3) from the hole (15) and thus avoids any risk of losing it. A spring (21) can also be provided to keep the rod (3) spontaneously in the locked position, the unlocking requiring a slight effort from the user to counteract the return force of the spring.
La figure 6 présente une pluralité de pièces (2), (la), (lb), .. que l'on souhaite assembler en chaîne. Chacune des pièces (la), (lb), etc. est dotée d'un doigt, désignés respectivement (5a), (5b), etc. et d'un ou plusieurs doigts désignés (6a), (βb), etc. de largeur et de longueur plus réduites que les doigts (5a), (5b), etc. Chaque pièce est également dotée d'un dispositif permettant d'assurer le verrouillage des assemblages entre deux pièces successives de la chaîne.Figure 6 shows a plurality of parts (2), (la), (lb), .. that one wishes to assemble in a chain.

The assembly of the elements (22) and (23) makes it possible to obtain a complete shoe (25). Thus, the invention makes it possible to design shoes whose heel can be replaced easily by the user. This application is of interest for example to replace a heel suitable for walking with a heel suitable for driving, to replace a slightly damaged or dirty heel with a new or clean heel, to match the heel of his shoe to dress for the day, or to be able to place heels of slightly different length between the left and right shoes to compensate for a slight difference in length between the legs of the user. In this application, the efficiency of the locking device is reinforced by the fact that the weight of the user contributes to keeping the elements (22) and (23) in contact. FIG. 8 presents an application of the invention to the field of furniture. The assembly device according to the invention makes it possible in this field to design elements which can be dismantled easily without requiring a tool. The different designs of locking devices described in this document are given by way of non-limiting examples. Other locking devices known from the state of the art can be implemented.
Bien que les surfaces mises en contact lors de l'assemblage des pièces (1) et (2) soient présentées de forme plane dans les différentes figures 1 à 8, d'autres formes de surfaces sont possibles, étant entendu que préférentiellement les deux surfaces mises en contact doivent avoir des formes complémentaires afin de pouvoir s'ajuster parfaitement, voire de permettre l'invisibilité du dispositif d'assemblage une fois les pièces (1) et (2) assemblées.Although the surfaces brought into contact during the assembly of the parts (1) and (2) are presented in planar shape in the different figures 1 to 8, other forms of surfaces are possible, it being understood that preferably the two surfaces brought into contact must have complementary shapes in order to be able to fit perfectly, even allow the invisibility of the assembly device once the parts (1) and (2) are assembled.
Les doigts (5) et (6) ont été représentés dans les figures 1 à 8 solidaires de la pièce (1) et les évidements (6) sont représentés pratiqués dans la pièce (2). Il s'agit d'un exemple non limitatif, les doigts (5) et (6) pouvant être placés sur la pièce (2) ou même répartis entre la pièce (1) et la pièce (2), étant entendus que les évidements (6) coopérants avec les doigts sont placés sur l'autre pièce. The fingers (5) and (6) have been shown in Figures 1 to 8 secured to the part (1) and the recesses (6) are shown made in the part (2). This is a nonlimiting example, the fingers (5) and (6) being able to be placed on the part (2) or even distributed between the part (1) and the part (2), it being understood that the recesses (6) cooperating with the fingers are placed on the other piece.
