Description

Brida de sujeción ajustable. Adjustable clamping flange.
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
La presente invención se refiere a una brida de sujeción que permite ajustar su longitud para adaptarse a distintos perímetros de objetos, tales como tubos o haces de cables. Antecedentes de Ia invenciónThe present invention relates to a clamping flange that allows its length to be adjusted to suit different perimeters of objects, such as pipes or cable bundles. Background of the invention
Son conocidas las bridas o abrazaderas de sujeción ajustables para agrupar un haz de cables o tubos y facilitar así su fijación a una superficie, que consisten en una pieza, generalmente de material plástico, que comprende una tira dentada, una cabeza con una hendidura y una pestaña antirretorno en uno de sus extremos, y una lengüeta de sección decreciente en otro extremo. Su aplicación consiste en rodear los objetos a recoger con Ia brida e introducir Ia lengüeta por Ia cabeza y deslizar Ia tira hasta que Ia brida queda ajustada con Ia longitud deseada, Ia cual queda fijada mediante Ia pestaña antirretorno. Una variante de estas bridas es una tira hecha de esferas unidas por segmentos y una cabeza con un retén para dichas esferas. Habitualmente, estas bridas se adquieren en bolsas que contienen cientos o miles de unidades de bridas con unas dimensiones determinadas.Adjustable clamps or clamps are known for grouping a bundle of cables or tubes and thus facilitating their fixation to a surface, which consist of a piece, usually of plastic material, comprising a serrated strip, a head with a groove and a non-return tab at one of its ends, and a tongue of decreasing section at another end. Its application consists in surrounding the objects to be collected with the flange and inserting the tongue through the head and sliding the strip until the flange is adjusted to the desired length, which is fixed by means of the non-return flange. A variant of these flanges is a strip made of spheres joined by segments and a head with a retainer for said spheres. Typically, these flanges are purchased in bags containing hundreds or thousands of flange units with specific dimensions.
Al aplicarse una brida para recoger un conjunto de cables, pueden darse dos situaciones:When a flange is applied to collect a set of cables, two situations can occur:
En una primera situación, Ia brida tiene una longitud mayor que el perímetro del conjunto de los cables a recoger y, en consecuencia, el instalador corta el extremo sobrante para que el conjunto quede ordenado.In a first situation, the flange has a length greater than the perimeter of the set of cables to be collected and, consequently, the installer cuts the excess end so that the assembly is tidy.
En una segunda situación, Ia brida tiene una longitud menor que el perímetro del conjunto de los cables a recoger y, o bien el instalador recurre a otro lote de bridas de longitud superior, o bien empalma varias bridas en serie.In a second situation, the flange has a length less than the perimeter of the set of cables to be collected and, either, the installer uses another batch of flanges of greater length, or splices several flanges in series.
Sin embargo, en ambos casos se producen situaciones no deseadas. En el primer caso, el material sobrante es desperdiciado, tal como se puede apreciar en cualquier obra o reforma, en Ia cual es habitual ver el en el suelo decenas y hasta cientos de extremos de brida, con los costes de fabricación y los problemas de limpieza y reciclado que ello conlleva. De media, el material sobrante representa aproximadamente un 50% de Ia longitud de Ia brida.However, in both cases unwanted situations occur. In the first case, the excess material is wasted, as can be seen in any work or renovation, in which it is usual to see the tens and even hundreds of flange ends on the ground, with manufacturing costs and problems of cleaning and recycling that entails. On average, the excess material represents approximately 50% of the length of the flange.
En el segundo caso, el instalador se ve abocado a realizar una operación adicional de empalme que hace más lento su trabajo o bien debe disponer de varias bolsas con bridas de dimensiones variadas que se adapten a las diferentes situaciones que se irá encontrando.In the second case, the installer is forced to carry out an additional splicing operation that slows his work or he must have several bags with flanges of varying dimensions that adapt to the different situations that he will encounter.
Esta operación de empalme se hace con bridas del mismo tamaño, ya que, en general, las bridas de diferente tamaño no son compatibles. En consecuencia, al recortar Ia brida, de media se perderá un 50% del material. Estas circunstancias son tanto más engorrosas cuanto más desfavorables sean las condiciones de trabajo, como por ejemplo cuando se trabaja en lugares de difícil acceso o se trabaja con cables o tubos de difícil manejo.This splicing operation is done with flanges of the same size, since, in general, flanges of different sizes are not compatible. Consequently, by cutting the flange, 50% of the material will be lost on average. These circumstances are all the more cumbersome the more unfavorable the working conditions are, for example when working in places of difficult access or working with cables or pipes of difficult handling.
Además, es habitual que en el proceso de aplicación de una brida, un instalador se olvide de agrupar un cable y se vea forzado a desechar toda una brida.In addition, it is common that in the process of applying a flange, an installer forgets to bundle a cable and is forced to discard an entire flange.
Por Io tanto, es evidente Ia necesidad de disponer de una brida de sujeción que evite los inconvenientes mencionados, es decir, que facilite el trabajo del instalador, reduciendo Ia generación de residuos en Ia obra o instalación.Therefore, it is evident the need to have a clamping flange that avoids the aforementioned inconveniences, that is, that facilitates the work of the installer, reducing the generation of waste in the work or installation.
Descripción de Ia invenciónDescription of the invention
Con Ia brida de sujeción ajustable y el dispensador objeto de Ia invención se resuelven los inconvenientes citados, presentando otras ventajas que se describirán a continuación. La brida de sujeción ajustable objeto de Ia invención, que comprende una tira para ajustar Ia longitud de dicha brida y medios para Ia fijación de Ia posición de ajuste de dicha tira a distintos perímetros, se caracteriza por el hecho de que dichos medios para Ia fijación de Ia posición de ajuste comprenden una pluralidad de dispositivos de fijación de Ia posición de ajuste de dicha tira intercalados y repartidos a Io largo de dicha tira, permitiendo Ia adaptación a distintos perímetros al cortar Ia tira a Ia longitud deseada.The aforementioned drawbacks are resolved with the adjustable clamping flange and the dispenser object of the invention, presenting other advantages that will be described below. The adjustable clamping flange object of the invention, which comprises a strip for adjusting the length of said flange and means for fixing the adjustment position of said strip to different perimeters, is characterized by the fact that said means for fixing the adjustment position comprise a plurality of fixing devices of the adjustment position of said strip interspersed and distributed along said strip, allowing adaptation to different perimeters when cutting the strip to Ia desired length
Con esta estructura se dispone de una brida que permite adaptarse a perímetros de longitudes muy variadas y por Io tanto evita Ia necesidad de disponer de paquetes de bridas de diferentes perímetros, ya que el instalador, al cortar Ia brida en los puntos adecuados, dispone de bridas de diferente tamaño según sus necesidades.With this structure there is a flange that allows to adapt to perimeters of very varied lengths and therefore avoids the need to have flange packages of different perimeters, since the installer, when cutting the flange at the appropriate points, has different size flanges according to your needs.
Además, Ia brida objeto de Ia invención aprovecha al máximo el material que Ia compone puesto que, para cada corte o aplicación, el material desechado de Ia brida es como mucho Ia longitud entre dos dispositivos de fijación sucesivos, que puede ser ajustada para los perímetros más pequeños. Así, en media y en cada corte o aplicación, se limita el desperdicio de material a Ia mitad de Ia distancia entre dos dispositivos de fijación sucesivos, Ia cual puede diseñarse para que sea Io más pequeña posible.In addition, the flange object of the invention takes full advantage of the material that it composes since, for each cut or application, the discarded material of the flange is at most the length between two successive fixing devices, which can be adjusted for the perimeters More smalls. Thus, on average and in each cut or application, the waste of material is limited to half the distance between two successive fixing devices, which can be designed to be as small as possible.
De esta manera, su aplicación es especialmente interesante para su aplicación en cualquier instalación u obra en Ia que se requiera una gran cantidad de bridas de sujeción de dimensiones muy variadas.In this way, its application is especially interesting for its application in any installation or work in which a large number of clamping flanges of very varied dimensions are required.
Preferentemente, los dispositivos de fijación sucesivos están distanciados entre si para adaptarse a los perímetros más pequeños, como por ejemplo del orden de los 10 cm.Preferably, the successive fixing devices are spaced apart from each other to fit the smaller perimeters, such as the order of 10 cm.
De esta manera, una única brida puede adaptarse a situaciones en las que se presenten agrupaciones de cables o de tubos de perímetros de ordenes de longitud muy diferentes.In this way, a single flange can be adapted to situations in which cable or tube groupings of perimeters of very different lengths are presented.
Preferentemente, el espesor de Ia brida al nivel de dichos dispositivos es igual al espesor de dicha tira, con Io cual se consigue una tira que puede enrollarse fácilmente sobre si misma, permitiéndose su arrollamiento en una bobina, y facilitar así su transporte y uso y evitando que se pierda material útil. Ventajosamente, Ia anchura de Ia tira al nivel de dichos dispositivos es mayor que en el resto de Ia brida, con Io cual se garantiza que Ia sección de material sometido a esfuerzo en un plano perpendicular a Ia dirección longitudinal al nivel del dispositivo de fijación puede resistir una fuerza similar al resto de Ia tira.Preferably, the thickness of the flange at the level of said devices is equal to the thickness of said strip, whereby a strip that can be easily wound on itself is achieved, allowing its winding in a coil, and thus facilitating its transport and use and preventing the loss of useful material. Advantageously, the width of the strip at the level of said devices is greater than in the rest of the flange, whereby it is guaranteed that the section of material subjected to stress in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at the level of the fixing device can resist a force similar to the rest of the strip.
Preferentemente, Ia tira está dentada, los dispositivos de fijación comprenden una hendidura con una pestaña antirretorno y Ia tira presenta porciones de sección menor para facilitar Ia introducción de Ia tira en el dispositivo de fijación. Ventajosamente, las aristas de transición entre dicha tira y dichos dispositivos de sujeción están redondeadas, con Io cual se evitan concentraciones de tensiones en ángulos, aumentándose por Io tanto su resistencia a Ia tracción, permitiendo disminuir Ia sección de Ia tira y, consecuentemente, optimizándose Ia utilización de material para su fabricación.Preferably, the strip is serrated, the fixing devices comprise a groove with a non-return flange and the strip has portions of smaller section to facilitate the introduction of the strip into the fixing device. Advantageously, the transition edges between said strip and said clamping devices are rounded, whereby stress concentrations at angles are avoided, thereby increasing their tensile strength, allowing the section of the strip to be decreased and, consequently, optimizing The use of material for its manufacture.
Finalmente, las bridas de sujeción descritas en los párrafos anteriores pueden disponerse en forma de bobina en un dispensador que comprende medios para cortarlas a las longitudes deseadas. De esta manera, se aprovecha el carácter continuo de Ia brida, suministrándose medios para cortarla in situ a las longitudes según las necesidades de Ia instalación o Ia obra. Breve descripción de los dibujosFinally, the clamping flanges described in the preceding paragraphs can be arranged in the form of a coil in a dispenser comprising means for cutting them to the desired lengths. In this way, the continuous character of the flange is used, providing means for cutting it in situ to the lengths according to the needs of the installation or the work. Brief description of the drawings

Description of a preferred embodiment
Tal como se puede apreciar en las figuras 1 y 2, según una realización preferida, Ia brida de Ia invención comprende una tira (1) para ajusfar su longitud y medios para Ia fijación de su posición de ajuste a distintos perímetros compuestos por una pluralidad de dispositivos de fijación de Ia posición de ajuste (2) intercalados y repartidos a Io largo de Ia tira.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, according to a preferred embodiment, the flange of the invention comprises a strip (1) to adjust its length and means for fixing its adjustment position to different perimeters composed of a plurality of fixing devices of the adjustment position (2) interspersed and distributed along the strip.
La aplicación se realiza tal como se describe a continuación: El instalador rodea un conjunto de cables o tubos a agrupar (3) y selecciona Ia longitud de brida necesaria y corta Ia tira por un punto de sección menor (4) contigua al dispositivo de sujeción (2) siguiente al punto que determina Ia longitud necesaria. Procediendo de tal manera, se consigue una brida con Ia longitud deseada, tal como se ¡lustra en Ia figura 3, siendo uno de sus extremos el dispositivo de fijación (5) y el otro Ia porción de tira de sección menor (4), es decir, Ia lengüeta de inserción, quedando el resto de Ia tira lista para otra aplicación.The application is carried out as described below: The installer surrounds a set of cables or tubes to be grouped (3) and selects the necessary flange length and cuts the strip by a smaller section point (4) adjacent to the clamping device (2) following the point that determines the necessary length. Proceeding in such a way, a flange with the desired length is achieved, as illustrated in Figure 3, one of its ends being the fixing device (5) and the other one the strip portion of smaller section (4), that is, the insertion tab, the rest of the strip being ready for another application.
Con esta brida se pueden conseguir, con un único tipo de brida, todas las dimensiones que un instalador pueda necesitar, incluso las más grandes, sin necesidad de empalmar varias bridas en serie.With this flange you can achieve, with a single type of flange, all the dimensions that an installer may need, even the largest ones, without the need to splice several flanges in series.
Según otra realización preferida, Ia distancia entre dos dispositivos de sujeción sucesivos es suficientemente pequeña como para adaptarse a perímetros pequeños, como por ejemplo unos 10 cm.According to another preferred embodiment, the distance between two successive clamping devices is small enough to adapt to small perimeters, such as about 10 cm.
Con esto se consigue, por un lado, Ia adaptación a diámetros reducidos y se reduce Ia generación de residuos de plástico hasta un 50% deThis achieves, on the one hand, the adaptation to reduced diameters and reduces the generation of plastic waste up to 50% of
Ia distancia entre dos dispositivos de fijación contiguos. Además, en caso de que el instalador se olvide de agrupar algún cable, como mucho se perderá un tramo correspondiente a Ia distancia (6) entre dos dispositivos de fijación contiguos. En una tercera realización de Ia invención, el espesor (7) de Ia brida al nivel de dichos dispositivos es igual al espesor de dicha tira, de tal manera que se puede enrollar fácilmente para su transporte y manejo. En una cuarta realización preferida de Ia invención Ia tira (8) está dentada y los dispositivos de fijación comprenden una hendidura (9) con una pestaña antirretomo (10), configuración que permite su aplicación óptima al concepto de Ia invención. En otra realización preferida de Ia invención, Ia anchura de Ia tira (11) al nivel de dichos dispositivos es mayor que en el resto de Ia brida, asegurándose que Ia sección (12) sometida a esfuerzo es suficiente para soportar el peso de los cables o tubos a agrupar. Además, para garantizar una resistencia al esfuerzo máxima, las aristas (13) están redondeadas, evitándose Ia concentración de tensiones Io cual permite fabricar bridas con menor sección y, consecuentemente, menos material y menos costes.The distance between two adjacent fixing devices. In addition, if the installer forgets to group a cable, at most a section corresponding to the distance (6) between two adjacent fixing devices will be lost. In a third embodiment of the invention, the thickness (7) of the flange at the level of said devices is equal to the thickness of said strip, so that it can be easily rolled up for transport and handling. In a fourth preferred embodiment of the invention, the strip (8) is toothed and the fixing devices comprise a slit (9) with an antirtom tab (10), a configuration that allows its optimal application to the concept of the invention. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the width of the strip (11) at the level of said devices is greater than in the rest of the flange, ensuring that the section (12) subjected to stress is sufficient to support the weight of the cables or tubes to group. In addition, to guarantee a maximum stress resistance, the edges (13) are rounded, avoiding the concentration of stresses which allows manufacturing flanges with a smaller section and, consequently, less material and less costs.
Según otra realización de Ia invención y tal como se ilustra en Ia figura 4, Ia brida se enrolla en una bobina (14), proceso facilitado por el hecho de que su espesor sea aproximadamente constante, destinada a ser dispuesta en un dispensador (15) que incorpora medios (16) para cortar Ia brida a las longitudes deseadas y que incorpora medios (17) para su fijación al cinturón de un instalador.According to another embodiment of the invention and as illustrated in Figure 4, the flange is wound in a coil (14), a process facilitated by the fact that its thickness is approximately constant, intended to be arranged in a dispenser (15) which incorporates means (16) to cut the flange to the desired lengths and which incorporates means (17) for fixing to the belt of an installer.
Con este dispensador, se facilita el trabajo a un instalador, que dispone cómodamente de bridas adaptables a todo tipo de longitudes. With this dispenser, the work is facilitated to an installer, who comfortably has flanges adaptable to all types of lengths.
