Description

Agrafe à lanière ajustable Adjustable strap clip
La présente invention se rapporte à une agrafe à lanière, notamment une agrafe destinée à entourer un ou des éléments cylindriques, notamment circulaires, qu'il convient de fixer par l'agrafe à un objet, par exemple à une cloison. En particulier, une agrafe à lanière de ce genre est utilisée dans le domaine automobile pour fixer un tube, un câble, un toron, ou un faisceau de tubes, câbles, torons ou analogues à une paroi ou une cloison d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a strap staple, in particular a staple intended to surround one or more cylindrical elements, in particular circular elements, which should be fixed by the staple to an object, for example to a partition. In particular, such a strap staple is used in the automotive field to secure a tube, cable, strand, or bundle of tubes, cables, strands or the like to a wall or partition of a motor vehicle.
En général, une agrafe à lanière comporte deux parties solidarisées l'une à l'autre. La première partie est composée d'une lanière ou bande destinée à s'enrouler autour de l'élément cylindrique à fixer, la lanière comportant, notamment à ses deux extrémités, des moyens pour joindre une extrémité à l'autre extrémité, afin de serrer en son sein l'élément cylindrique que l'on souhaite entourer. La deuxième partie est la partie active de l'agrafe et comporte, en général, un élément en forme de harpon, crochet, sapin ou analogue destiné à pénétrer pour s'y accrocher dans un trou correspondant de l'objet, notamment une paroi ou une cloison d'un véhicule automobile à laquelle on souhaite fixer l'élément cylindrique par l'agrafe à lanière. Ces agrafes à lanière de l'art antérieur présentent l'inconvénient majeur qu'une fois que le tube ou le faisceau de tubes a été serré en étant entouré par la lanière, la position angulaire par rapport à l'élément cylindrique de la partie active de l'agrafe, destinée à venir s'accrocher dans un trou correspondant d'un objet auquel on souhaite fixer l'élément cylindrique par l'agrafe, ne peut plus être modifiée. Par conséquent, lorsque l'on installe l'agrafe à lanière autour d'un toron par exemple, il convient de disposer la partie active, ou corps d'agrafe, par rapport à la lanière dans une position bien précise, calculée à l'avance, avant d'enserrer le toron avec la lanière. Si la moindre erreur est faite dans le positionnement relatif de la lanière et du corps d'agrafe avant le serrage, il n'est plus possible de le modifier après le serrage, en particulier dans le cas très fréquent où les deux extrémités de la lanière sont réunies l'une à l'autre d'une manière irréversible. Ainsi, une fois le serrage réalisé, si l'on défait ce serrage, l'agrafe à lanière n'est plus utilisable et doit être envoyée au rebut. Des erreurs de positionnement relatif du corps d'agrafe et de la lanière sont par conséquent coûteux et prennent du temps .In general, a strap staple has two parts secured to one another. The first part is composed of a strap or strip intended to be wound around the cylindrical element to be fixed, the strap comprising, in particular at its two ends, means for joining one end to the other end, in order to tighten within it the cylindrical element that one wishes to surround. The second part is the active part of the clip and comprises, in general, a harpoon-shaped element, hook, fir or the like intended to penetrate to catch in a corresponding hole of the object, in particular a wall or a partition of a motor vehicle to which it is desired to fix the cylindrical element by the strap staple. These strap staples of the prior art have the major disadvantage that once the tube or bundle of tubes has been tightened while being surrounded by the strap, the angular position relative to the cylindrical element of the active part the staple, intended to hook into a corresponding hole of an object to which it is desired to fix the cylindrical element by the staple, can no longer be modified. Therefore, when installing the strap staple around a strand for example, it is necessary to have the part active, or staple body, relative to the strap in a precise position, calculated in advance, before gripping the strand with the strap. If the slightest error is made in the relative positioning of the strap and the clip body before tightening, it is no longer possible to change after tightening, especially in the very common case where both ends of the strap are united to one another irreversibly. Thus, once tightening done, if we undo this tightening, the strap staple is no longer usable and must be sent scrapped. Relative positioning errors of the staple body and the strap are therefore expensive and time consuming.
La présente invention vise à surmonter ces inconvénients des agrafes à lanière de l'art antérieur en proposant une agrafe à lanière dont la position du corps d'agrafe peut être modifiée après serrage de la lanière autour de l'élément cylindrique que l'on souhaite fixer à l'aide de l'agrafe à lanière et ce, sans avoir ni à changer d'agrafe, ni à desserrer l'agrafe de l'élément.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages of lashing staples of the prior art by providing a strap staple whose position of the staple body can be changed after tightening the strap around the cylindrical member that is desired secure with the strap clip without having to change the clip or loosen the clip of the clip.
Suivant l'invention, une agrafe à lanière, destinée à permettre la fixation d'au moins un élément cylindrique tel qu'un tube, un toron ou analogue, notamment dans le domaine des véhicules automobiles, à un objet, notamment une cloison, et comportant une lanière sous la forme d'une bande souple destinée à venir entourer l'élément cylindrique destiné à être fixé à l'objet, et un corps d'agrafe ayant à l'extrémité distale de l'agrafe une tête formant un moyen d'ancrage ou analogue destinée à pénétrer dans un trou de l'objet et à s'y accrocher, est caractérisée en ce qu'il est prévu des moyens pour permettre le coulissement le long de l'élément cylindrique dans la direction périphérique, le long de la bande formant lanière, sur au moins un arc de cercle, de préférence sur sensiblement 360°, du corps d'agrafe lorsque la lanière a été serrée autour de l'élément cylindrique.According to the invention, a strap staple, intended to allow the attachment of at least one cylindrical element such as a tube, a strand or the like, in particular in the field of motor vehicles, to an object, in particular a partition, and comprising a strap in the form of a flexible strip intended to surround the cylindrical element intended to be fixed to the object, and a clip body having at the distal end of the clip a head forming a means for Anchoring or the like intended to penetrate and hook into a hole of the object, is characterized in that means are provided for allowing sliding along the cylindrical element in the peripheral direction, along of the band forming strap, on at least one arc of circle, preferably substantially 360 °, of the staple body when the strap has been tightened around the cylindrical member.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'agencement des moyens de coulissement est tel que le corps d'agrafe, outre le déplacement dans la direction périphérique le long de la lanière, peut également subir une rotation axiale par rapport à un axe normal à la surface latérale de l'élément cylindrique enserré par la lanière.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the arrangement of the sliding means is such that the staple body, in addition to the movement in the circumferential direction along the strap, can also be axially rotated relative to a normal axis to the lateral surface of the cylindrical member gripped by the strap.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les moyens de coulissement sont constitués par le fait que la lanière comporte une fenêtre s 'étendant dans la direction longitudinale de la lanière sur au moins une distance correspondant à un arc de cercle du tube ou du toron destiné à être enfermé ou serré par l'agrafe, et le corps d'agrafe comporte une embase destinée à être disposée entre l'élément cylindrique et la bande de la lanière, en venant buter contre le bord inférieur, ou du côté de l'élément cylindrique, de la fenêtre pour ainsi pouvoir réaliser un mouvement de translation le long de la bande lorsque la lanière est serrée autour du toron.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding means are constituted by the fact that the strap comprises a window extending in the longitudinal direction of the strap over at least a distance corresponding to a circular arc of the tube or the strand to be enclosed or clamped by the staple, and the staple body has a base to be disposed between the cylindrical member and the band of the strap, abutting against the lower edge, or on the side of the cylindrical element of the window so as to be able to perform a translation movement along the strip when the strap is tightened around the strand.
De préférence, l'agencement est tel que, lors du coulissement, le corps d'agrafe reste à une distance sensiblement constante de l'élément cylindrique serré par la lanière.Preferably, the arrangement is such that, during sliding, the staple body remains at a substantially constant distance from the cylindrical member clamped by the strap.
De préférence, le corps d'agrafe est constitué d'une embase, d'une tige issue de l'embase et s ' étendant jusqu'à la partie formant tête d'ancrage, et l'ouverture de la fenêtre du côté extérieur, ou à l'opposé de l'élément cylindrique, a une dimension en largeur correspondant sensiblement à la plus grande dimension en section transversale de la tige, notamment une dimension sensiblement égale au diamètre de la section transversale de la tige, tandis que l'ouverture de la fenêtre du côté intérieur, ou du côté de l'élément cylindrique, a une dimension en largeur correspondant sensiblement au diamètre ou à la dimension la plus grande de l'embase.Preferably, the staple body consists of a base, a stem coming from the base and extending up to the anchor head part, and the opening of the window on the outer side, or opposite the cylindrical element, has a width dimension substantially corresponding to the largest dimension in cross section of the rod, in particular a dimension substantially equal to the diameter of the cross-section of the rod, while the opening of the window on the inner side, or the side of the cylindrical element, has a width dimension corresponding substantially to the largest diameter or dimension of the base.
.De préférence, l'embase de l'agrafe a une forme non arrondie, et notamment comportant au moins un coin, de préférence quatre coins, et notamment est de forme carrée ou rectangulaire, de sorte que, lorsque l'embase de l'agrafe se trouve entre la lanière et l'élément cylindrique, elle est guidée en translation le long de la bande sans pouvoir subir de rotation axiale.Preferably, the base of the staple has a non-rounded shape, and in particular having at least one corner, preferably four corners, and in particular is of square or rectangular shape, so that when the base of the staple is located between the strap and the cylindrical member, it is guided in translation along the strip without being able to undergo axial rotation.
Suivant un mode de réalisation autre préféré de l'invention, au contraire, les dimensions relatives de l'embase, du corps et de l'ouverture de la fenêtre du côté intérieur sont telles que le corps d'agrafe peut subir une rotation axiale par rapport à un axe normal à la lanière ou à l'élément cylindrique.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, on the contrary, the relative dimensions of the base, the body and the opening of the window on the inside are such that the clip body can undergo axial rotation by relative to an axis normal to the strap or to the cylindrical member.
La présente invention se rapporte également à un assemblage comportant un élément cylindrique, tel qu'un tube, un toron, un câble ou analogue ou un faisceau de ceux ci et au moins une agrafe à lanière suivant l'invention dont la lanière entoure l'élément cylindrique, le corps d'agrafe pouvant coulisser le long de la périphérie de l'élément cylindrique.The present invention also relates to an assembly comprising a cylindrical element, such as a tube, a strand, a cable or the like or a bundle thereof and at least one strap staple according to the invention whose strap surrounds the cylindrical member, the clip body being slidable along the periphery of the cylindrical member.
La présente invention se rapporte également à un ensemble comportant un assemblage suivant l' invention et un objet comportant un trou dans lequel pénètre la tête du corps d'agrafe et s'y accroche. En particulier, la présente invention se rapporte à un véhicule automobile comportant un ensemble suivant l'invention.The present invention also relates to an assembly comprising an assembly according to the invention and an object having a hole in which penetrates the head of the clip body and attaches thereto. In particular, the present invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising an assembly according to the invention.
A titre d'exemple, on décrit maintenant des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention en se reportant aux dessins dans lesquels : la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un assemblage d'une agrafe à lanière suivant l'invention et d'un tube ou toron ; la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la lanière de la figure 1 ; la figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne A-A de la figure 2 ; la figure 4 est une vue de face d'une tête d'agrafe de la figure 1 ; la figure 5 est une vue de dessus de l'agrafe des figures 1 et 4 ; et la figure 6 est une vue correspondant à celle de la figure 5 d'un autre mode de réalisation possible de la tête du corps d'agrafe.By way of example, preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of Referring to the drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of an assembly of a strap staple according to the invention and a tube or strand; Figure 2 is a top view of the strap of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a sectional view along line AA of Figure 2; Figure 4 is a front view of a staple head of Figure 1; Figure 5 is a top view of the clip of Figures 1 and 4; and FIG. 6 is a view corresponding to that of FIG. 5 of another possible embodiment of the head of the staple body.
A la figure 1, on peut voir un tube ou toron 1 autour de la périphérie circulaire duquel a été serrée une bande formant une lanière 2 d'une agrafe 3 à lanière.In Figure 1, we can see a tube or strand 1 around the circular periphery of which was tightened a band forming a strap 2 of a staple 3 strap.
L'agrafe 3 à lanière, outre la lanière 2, comporte également un corps 4 d'agrafe.The staple 3 strap, in addition to the strap 2, also comprises a body 4 of staple.
Ce corps 4 d'agrafe est monté coulissant en translation dans la direction longitudinale de la bande 2 autour du tube 1 lorsque la lanière est serrée autour du tube 1. Cette translation est représentée par la flèche Fl de grande dimension. En outre, comme représenté par la petite flèche F2, le corps 4 d'agrafe peut subir une rotation axiale par rapport à la normale au tube, à l'endroit où se trouve la tête d'agrafe lors de son déplacement en translation par rapport à la lanière. La lanière est constituée d'une bande dans laquelle a été réalisée une fenêtre ouverte 5 traversant la lanière dans la direction de son épaisseur. Cette fenêtre 5 s'étend dans la direction longitudinale de la lanière sur une partie suffisante pour correspondre à au moins un secteur angulaire lorsque la lanière est repliée sur elle-même à ses deux extrémités pour former un anneau. De préférence, la fenêtre 5 s'étend sur une périphérie correspondant sensiblement à 360°, voir plus. L'extrémité 6 de la lanière est destinée à coopérer avec son extrémité 7 pour s'y fixer, de préférence de manière irréversible, notamment après avoir été serrée autour du tube 1. Le système de fixation et de serrage 6 et 7 est bien connu dans le domaine. Suivant la coupe A-A de la figure 2 et comme représenté à la figure 3, la fenêtre 5 comporte une première région 9 de petite largeur, du côté extérieur, et une deuxième région 10 de plus grande largeur du côté intérieur (côté du tube 1), les deux régions 9 et 10 étant séparées par un épaulement 8. Ainsi, la région 9 forme-t-elle un canal autour du tube lorsque la lanière est serrée autour de celui-ci et la région 10 forme un tunnel de plus grande largeur que la largeur du canal 9, entre le tube 1 et le canal 9.This body 4 of clip is slidably mounted in translation in the longitudinal direction of the band 2 around the tube 1 when the strap is clamped around the tube 1. This translation is represented by the arrow Fl large. In addition, as represented by the small arrow F2, the clip body 4 can undergo axial rotation relative to the normal to the tube, at the location where the staple head is when it is displaced in translation relative to on the thong. The strap consists of a strip in which an open window 5 has been made to pass through the strap in the direction of its thickness. This window 5 extends in the longitudinal direction of the strap on a portion sufficient to correspond to the at least one angular sector when the strap is folded on itself at both ends to form a ring. Preferably, the window 5 extends over a periphery substantially corresponding to 360 °, see more. The end 6 of the strap is intended to cooperate with its end 7 to attach, preferably irreversibly, especially after being clamped around the tube 1. The fastening and clamping system 6 and 7 is well known in the field. According to the section AA of FIG. 2 and as represented in FIG. 3, the window 5 comprises a first region 9 of small width, on the outer side, and a second region 10 of greater width on the inner side (side of the tube 1). , the two regions 9 and 10 being separated by a shoulder 8. Thus, the region 9 forms a channel around the tube when the strap is tightened around it and the region 10 forms a tunnel of greater width the width of the channel 9, between the tube 1 and the channel 9.
Le corps 4 d'agrafe est constitué d'une embase en forme de plaque 14, d'une tige 15 issue de l'embase 14 et d'une tête 16 de corps d'agrafe. La plaque 14 a la forme d'un disque circulaire de diamètre sensiblement égal à la largeur du tunnel 10. La tête 16 a toute forme appropriée pour pouvoir permettre la fixation de l'ensemble, c'est-à-dire du toron ou tube et de l'agrafe à lanière serrée autour du toron, à un autre objet, tel qu'une paroi ou une cloison, par exemple d'un véhicule automobile, notamment par pénétration de la tête 4 dans un trou de la cloison et accrochage de la tête à la paroi interne du trou. En particulier, la tête peut avoir une forme dite en pion sapin. D'autres formes possibles de cette tête 4 sont des formes en crochet, harpon ou analogue. Il peut également s'agir d'une forme en vis que l'on va visser dans un trou taraudé de la paroi. La section transversale circulaire de la tige 15 a un diamètre plus petite que la largeur de la région 9 de petite largeur en forme de canal de la fenêtre 5, de sorte que la tige 15 puisse passer à travers la fenêtre. En utilisation, la plaque 14 est reçue dans la ré.gign 10 de la fenêtre 5, tandis que la tige 15 tra.verβe la fenêtre par la région 9 et la tête 16 fait saillie à l'extérieur de la lanière 2. Ainsi, compte tenu des dimensions relatives des éléments constitutifs du corps d'agrafe et de la lanière, le corps 4 d'agrafe peut être déplacé en translation le long de la surface du tube 1, en étant guidé par la fenêtre 5 et notamment par le tunnel 10. Dans le même temps, ce corps 4 d'agrafe ne peut pas être désolidarisé du tube, puisque la plaque 14 vient buter contre 1 ' épaulement 8, de sorte que le corps d'agrafe reste toujours sensiblement à une même distance du tube ou toron lors de son déplacement en translation périphérique autour du tube ou toron. Dans le même temps, compte tenu de la dimension et des formes relatives de la plaque 14 et du tunnel 10, le corps d'agrafe 4 peut subir une rotation axiale par rapport à un axe correspondant à la normale au tube.The body 4 of clip consists of a plate-shaped base 14, a rod 15 from the base 14 and a head 16 of staple body. The plate 14 has the shape of a circular disc of diameter substantially equal to the width of the tunnel 10. The head 16 has any suitable shape to allow the attachment of the assembly, that is to say the strand or tube and the strap staple tightened around the strand, to another object, such as a wall or a partition, for example of a motor vehicle, in particular by penetration of the head 4 into a hole in the partition and hooking of the head to the inner wall of the hole. In particular, the head may have a form known as a fir-tree. Other possible forms of this head 4 are hook shapes, harpoon or the like. It can also be a screw shape that is screwed into a threaded hole in the wall. The circular cross section of the rod 15 has a diameter smaller than the width of the small channel-shaped region 9 of the window 5, so that the rod 15 can pass through the window. In use, the plate 14 is received in the ridge 10 of the window 5, while the rod 15 tra.verβe the window by the region 9 and the head 16 protrudes outside the strap 2. Thus, given the relative dimensions of the components of the staple body and the strap, the clip body 4 can be moved in translation along the surface of the tube 1, being guided by the window 5 and in particular by the tunnel 10. At the same time, this staple body 4 can not be detached from the tube, since the plate 14 abuts against the shoulder 8, so that the staple body always remains substantially at the same distance from the tube or strand during its displacement in peripheral translation around the tube or strand. At the same time, given the size and relative shapes of the plate 14 and the tunnel 10, the staple body 4 can be rotated axially with respect to an axis corresponding to the normal to the tube.
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation possible de l'invention, et comme représenté à la figure 6, à la place d'une embase en forme de plaque 14 circulaire, on peut prévoir une embase 24 en forme de plaque carrée ou rectangulaire dont une des dimensions correspond sensiblement à la dimension en largeur de la région 10 en forme de tunnel, de sorte que cette plaque 24 soit bloquée en rotation dans le tunnel 10 pour empêcher une rotation axiale du corps d'agrafe 4.According to another possible embodiment of the invention, and as shown in FIG. 6, instead of a circular plate-shaped base 14, it is possible to provide a base 24 in the form of a square or rectangular plate, one of which dimensions corresponds substantially to the width dimension of the tunnel-shaped region 10, so that this plate 24 is locked in rotation in the tunnel 10 to prevent axial rotation of the staple body 4.
Dans le cas d'un faisceau électrique de siège conducteur dans un véhicule automobile, qui est monté aussi bien en conduite à droite et en conduite à gauche, alors que les armatures métalliques sont elles symétriques, si la mise en version n'est pas réalisée sur le faisceau comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple, l'opérateur de montage du siège n'a plus besoin de vriller les branches du faisceau pour s'adapter aux différentes armatures de sièges pour pouvoir fixer les agrafes lanières. Cette opération, qui était envisageable sur des torons de petit diamètre, mais qui était quasi impossible dès que le toron était de plus grand diamètre est maintenant inutile. Le véhicule automobile comportant un câble ou un faisceau de câble et une cloison, le câble étant fixé à la cloison suivant l'invention. L'agrafe périmétrique suivant l'invention résout ces problèmes de montage en conservant la faible diversité du nombre de références de faisceau. En effet, la faculté d'orientation autour de la périphérie du toron ainsi que la faculté d'orientation par rapport au trou du support résolvent les problèmes mentionnés ci-dessus. In the case of a driver's seat electrical harness in a motor vehicle, which is mounted in both right-hand drive and left-hand drive, while the metal reinforcements are symmetrical, if the versioning is not carried out on the beam as is the case in the example, the operator of mounting of the seat does not need any more to twist the branches of the beam to adapt to different seat frames to be able to fix the staples strips. This operation, which was feasible on small-diameter strands, but which was almost impossible as soon as the strand was larger, is now useless. The motor vehicle comprising a cable or a cable harness and a partition, the cable being fixed to the partition according to the invention. The perimeter clip according to the invention solves these mounting problems while maintaining the low diversity of the number of beam references. Indeed, the faculty of orientation around the periphery of the strand and the faculty of orientation relative to the hole of the support solve the problems mentioned above.
