Description

SUPPORT DE TABLETTE TACTILE  TOUCH TABLET SUPPORT
L'invention concerne un dispositif de support d'une tablette tactile comportant un réceptacle et un couvercle monté à rotation autour d'un axe transversal porté par le réceptacle entre une position relevée d'utilisation et une position horizontale de fermeture du réceptacle. The invention relates to a device for supporting a touch pad having a receptacle and a lid rotatably mounted about a transverse axis carried by the receptacle between a raised position of use and a horizontal position of closure of the receptacle.
L'usage d'appareils électroniques de type tablettes ou écrans tactiles est de plus en plus répandue. Ces appareils étant habituellement utilisés pour consulter des sites internet, lire des livres ou bien regarder des films, les utilisateurs sont donc de plus en plus fréquemment amenés à s'en servir tout au long de la journée. Cependant, l'utilisation prolongée de ces appareils peut devenir rapidement malcommode en raison de leur poids important, mais aussi car leur tenue ne laisse pas les mains libres. The use of electronic devices such as tablets or touch screens is becoming more widespread. Since these devices are usually used to consult websites, read books or watch movies, users are therefore more and more likely to use them throughout the day. However, the prolonged use of these devices can quickly become inconvenient because of their weight, but also because their behavior does not leave the hands free.
Poser la tablette tactile à plat sur une table ne permet pas non plus une consultation pratique et aisée. II faut que la tablette tactile soit non seulement correctement positionnée de façon à offrir une lecture confortable à l'utilisateur, mais aussi que le support soit facile à installer, soit solide et stable tout en étant de conception simple et peu onéreuse. Laying the tablet flat on a table does not allow a convenient and easy consultation. It is necessary that the tablet is not only properly positioned so as to offer a comfortable reading to the user, but also that the support is easy to install, or solid and stable while being simple and inexpensive design.
On connaît par la publication US-A1 -201 1/0180682 un dispositif de support d'un appareil électronique de type « smartphone » comportant une première plaque de base présentant un volet avant articulé sur son bord avant et destiné à recevoir l'appareil électronique. Un volet arrière est articulé sur un bord arrière de la première plaque de base. Un bord supérieur du volet arrière est destiné à coopérer avec une pluralité de crans localisés sur une face arrière du volet avant, opposée à la face destinée à recevoir l'appareil électronique. Le choix du cran permet d'adapter l'inclinaison du volet avant et donc de l'appareil. En outre, une deuxième plaque est montée à rotation autour du bord arrière de la première plaque. Une languette mobile est aussi montée à rotation autour d'un axe porté par une face inférieure de la première plaque. Cette languette mobile est destinée à coopérer avec des crans ménagés dans une face supérieure de la deuxième plaque de façon à modifier et adapter la hauteur du volet avant, et donc celle de l'appareil électronique. S'il permet de maintenir un appareil électronique de type écran tactile, ce dispositif de support présente toutefois des inconvénients : il est de conception compliquée car il comporte de nombreuses pièces et de nombreux axes. En outre, s'il est adapté à de petits appareils tels que des Smartphones, ce type de dispositif peut vite montrer ses limites dans le cas où l'ou souhaite utiliser des appareils plus grands et plus lourds de type tablettes tactiles. Ce type de dispositif risque alors de présenter des fragilités et de manquer de stabilité sous l'effet du poids et de la taille d'une tablette tactile. Publication US-A1 -201 1/0180682 discloses a device for supporting a "smartphone" type electronic device comprising a first base plate having a front flap hinged on its front edge and intended to receive the electronic device. . A rear flap is hinged to a rear edge of the first base plate. An upper edge of the rear flap is intended to cooperate with a plurality of notches located on a rear face of the front flap, opposite to the face intended to receive the electronic device. The choice of the notch allows to adapt the inclination of the front flap and therefore the device. In addition, a second plate is rotatably mounted around the trailing edge of the first plate. A movable tongue is also rotatably mounted about an axis carried by a lower face of the first plate. This movable tongue is intended to cooperate with notches formed in an upper face of the second plate so as to modify and adjust the height of the front flap, and therefore that of the electronic device. While it makes it possible to maintain an electronic device of the touch screen type, this support device has disadvantages, however: it is complicated in design because it has many parts and many axes. In addition, if it is suitable for small devices such as smartphones, this type of device can quickly show its limits in the case where or wants to use larger and heavier devices type touch pads. This type of device may then have weaknesses and lack stability due to the weight and size of a touch pad.
De plus l'utilisation de ce type de support n'est pas très aisée car elle nécessite de nombreuses manipulations. Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de support d'une tablette tactile qui soit pratique, sûre et de conception simple et peu onéreuse. In addition, the use of this type of support is not very easy because it requires many manipulations. To overcome these drawbacks, the invention relates to a support device for a touch pad that is practical, safe and simple and inexpensive design.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un dispositif de support d'une tablette tactile du type cité ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que un bord libre du couvercle opposé à l'axe de rotation comporte une barre transversale montée coulissante entre une position escamotée dans laquelle elle est disposée contre le bord libre et une position sortie dans laquelle elle s'étend à distance et sensiblement perpendiculairement au bord libre, la barre en position sortie formant, lorsque le couvercle est en position relevée, un dispositif de maintien d'un bord supérieur de la tablette tactile, une paroi avant du réceptacle opposée à l'axe de rotation étant destinée à recevoir un bord inférieur de l'écran tactile. Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention: For this purpose, the invention proposes a device for supporting a touch pad of the type mentioned above, characterized in that a free edge of the cover opposite to the axis of rotation comprises a transverse bar slidably mounted between a retracted position in which it is disposed against the free edge and an extended position in which it extends at a distance and substantially perpendicular to the free edge, the bar in the extended position forming, when the lid is in the raised position, a device for holding a upper edge of the touch pad, a front wall of the receptacle opposite the axis of rotation being adapted to receive a lower edge of the touch screen.

Dans la description qui suit, nous prendrons à titre non limitatif une orientation longitudinale, verticale et transversale indiquée par le trièdre L,V,T des figures 1 à 5.In the description which follows, we will take nonlimitingly a longitudinal, vertical and transverse orientation indicated by the trihedron L, V, T of Figures 1 to 5.
Une orientation avant et arrière est également prise en référence à un utilisateur se trouvant face au dispositif de support et face à la tablette tactile, l'avant étant considéré comme ce qui est le plus proche de l'utilisateur. Front and rear orientation is also referenced to a user facing the support device and facing the touch pad, the front being considered as closest to the user.
Tel que représenté à la figure 1 , un dispositif de support 10 d'une tablette tactile 12 (représentée à la figure 3) comporte un réceptacle 16 et un couvercle 14 articulé sur le réceptacle 16. Le couvercle 14 présente deux boîtiers latéraux 140 reliés par une paroi 142 (représentée à la figure 2). Le dispositif 10 est représenté ici en position fermée, le couvercle 14 étant rabattu sur le réceptacle 16, de façon que le réceptacle 16 soit logé entre les deux boîtiers latéraux 140 du couvercle 14, une paroi de fond F du réceptacle 16 étant seule visible. Tel que représenté à la figure 2, le dispositif de support 10 est passé de sa position fermée à une position ouverte par une rotation du couvercle 14 autour d'un axe transversal X porté par une paroi arrière 162 du réceptacle 16, qui comporte une paroi avant 160 et des parois latérales 164 et 166. As represented in FIG. 1, a support device 10 of a touch pad 12 (represented in FIG. 3) comprises a receptacle 16 and a cover 14 articulated on the receptacle 16. The cover 14 has two lateral casings 140 connected by a wall 142 (shown in Figure 2). The device 10 is shown here in the closed position, the lid 14 being folded over the receptacle 16, so that the receptacle 16 is housed between the two side housings 140 of the lid 14, a bottom wall F of the receptacle 16 being only visible. As shown in Figure 2, the support device 10 has moved from its closed position to an open position by a rotation of the cover 14 about a transverse axis X carried by a rear wall 162 of the receptacle 16, which has a wall before 160 and side walls 164 and 166.
.Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif 10 est en position ouverte, le couvercle 14 est relevé et s'étend dans un plan incliné par rapport à la verticale, en direction de l'utilisateur du dispositif, alors que le réceptacle 16 repose sur un support horizontal (non représenté).Thus, when the device 10 is in the open position, the lid 14 is raised and extends in a plane inclined relative to the vertical, in the direction of the user of the device, while the receptacle 16 rests on a horizontal support (not shown)
Un bord libre de la paroi arrière 162 comporte de plus un rebord interne 168, s'étendant sensiblement horizontalement vers l'intérieur du réceptacle 16. Ce rebord 168 permet ainsi d'empêcher la chute d'objets contenus dans le réceptacle 16 lorsque le dispositif est en position fermée. A free edge of the rear wall 162 furthermore has an internal rim 168 extending substantially horizontally inwardly of the receptacle 16. This rim 168 thus makes it possible to prevent the objects contained in the receptacle 16 from falling down when the device is in closed position.
Tel que représenté à la figure 3, le dispositif de support 10 comporte une barre transversale 20, montée mobile par rapport à un bord avant 148 du couvercle 14, opposé à l'axe de rotation X entre une position escamotée dans laquelle la barre 20 s'étend le long du bord avant 148 et une position sortie dans laquelle, la barre 20 se trouve à distance du bord avant 148.  As represented in FIG. 3, the support device 10 comprises a transverse bar 20 mounted movably with respect to a front edge 148 of the cover 14, opposite to the axis of rotation X between a retracted position in which the bar 20 s extends along the front edge 148 and an exit position in which the bar 20 is at a distance from the front edge 148.
La barre transversale 20 est montée mobile au moyen de tiges 200 montées chacune coulissantes dans un orifice 146 ménagé dans une paroi d'extrémité 144 des boîtiers 140 du couvercle 14.  The transverse bar 20 is movably mounted by means of rods 200, each mounted sliding in an orifice 146 formed in an end wall 144 of the housings 140 of the cover 14.
Pour faire passer la barre 20 de sa position escamotée à sa position sortie, il suffit alors à l'utilisateur de faire coulisser les tiges 200 dans les orifices 146. To move the bar 20 from its retracted position to its extended position, it is then sufficient for the user to slide the rods 200 into the orifices 146.
Ainsi, tel que représenté à la figure 3, lorsque le couvercle 14 est relevé et que l'on fait coulisser la barre 20 vers le haut, la tablette tactile 12 peut alors être maintenue en position inclinée entre la paroi avant 160 du réceptacle 16 et la barre transversale 20 de la tablette 16. Un bord supérieur 120 de la tablette tactile 12 est alors maintenu au moyen de la barre transversale 20 tandis qu'un bord inférieur 122 de la tablette tactile 12 est maintenu contre la paroi avant 160 du réceptacle 16.  Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, when the cover 14 is raised and the bar 20 is slid upwards, the touch pad 12 can then be held in an inclined position between the front wall 160 of the receptacle 16 and the cross bar 20 of the tablet 16. An upper edge 120 of the touch pad 12 is then held by means of the cross bar 20 while a lower edge 122 of the touch pad 12 is held against the front wall 160 of the receptacle 16 .
Des moyens de blocage (non représentés) peuvent être prévus de façon à maintenir la barre transversale à une hauteur intermédiaire déterminée.  Locking means (not shown) may be provided to maintain the crossbar at a predetermined intermediate height.
Par ailleurs, tel que représenté aux figure 1 et 2, l'épaisseur E des boîtiers 140 est sensiblement égale à la hauteur h des parois 160, 162, 164 et 166 du réceptacle 16. La hauteur H des boîtiers 140 est quant à elle sensiblement égale à la longueur L des parois latérales 164 et 166 du réceptacle 16. Ainsi, lorsque le réceptacle 16 est logé entre les boîtiers 140 du couvercle 14, le fond F du réceptacle 16 et les faces transversales 148 des boîtiers 140 forment une continuité tandis que les parois d'extrémité 144 des boîtiers 140 sont dans le prolongement de la paroi avant 160 du réceptacle 16. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the thickness E of the housings 140 is substantially equal to the height h of the walls 160, 162, 164 and 166 of the receptacle 16. The height H of the housings 140 is in turn substantially equal to the length L of the side walls 164 and 166 of the receptacle 16. Thus, when the receptacle 16 is housed between the housings 140 of the cover 14, the bottom F of the receptacle 16 and the transverse faces 148 of the housings 140 form a continuity while the end walls 144 of the housings 140 are in the extension of the front wall 160 of the receptacle 16.
De la sorte, lorsque le dispositif 10 est en position fermée, le couvercle 14 est parfaitement intégré au réceptacle 16. In this way, when the device 10 is in the closed position, the lid 14 is perfectly integrated with the receptacle 16.
En outre, lorsque la barre transversale 20 est dans sa position la plus basse, elle est alors en contact avec les parois d'extrémité 144 des boîtiers 140, et la paroi arrière 162 du réceptacle 16 quand le dispositif est fermé.  In addition, when the crossbar 20 is in its lowest position, it is then in contact with the end walls 144 of the housings 140, and the rear wall 162 of the receptacle 16 when the device is closed.
L'épaisseur et la longueur de la barre transversale 20 est également prévue pour ne pas être en saillie par rapport au volume formé par les boîtiers 140 du couvercle 14 en position fermée et le réceptacle 16. The thickness and length of the transverse bar 20 is also designed to not protrude from the volume formed by the housings 140 of the cover 14 in the closed position and the receptacle 16.
Ainsi, lorsque le réceptacle 16 est fermé et que la barre 20 ajustable est escamotée, le dispositif de support 10 forme une boîte compacte.  Thus, when the receptacle 16 is closed and the adjustable bar 20 is retracted, the support device 10 forms a compact box.
Tel que représenté à la figure 4, une face interne du fond F du réceptacle 16 est munie, à proximité de la paroi avant 160, d'une nervure transversale 28 sensiblement parallèle à cette paroi avant 160. La nervure 28 et la paroi avant 160 délimitent ainsi une gorge dont la largeur est prévue pour recevoir le bord inférieur 122 de l'écran tactile 12. As shown in Figure 4, an inner face of the bottom F of the receptacle 16 is provided, near the front wall 160, a transverse rib 28 substantially parallel to the front wall 160. The rib 28 and the front wall 160 thus delimit a groove whose width is intended to receive the lower edge 122 of the touch screen 12.
En outre, le réceptacle 16 peut comporter des dispositifs de maintien d'objets, tel que, par exemple, une sangle élastique (non représentée) disposée sur son fond F. In addition, the receptacle 16 may comprise devices for holding objects, such as, for example, an elastic strap (not shown) disposed on its bottom F.
Tel que représenté à la figure 5, la barre transversale 20 comporte une rainure 202 dont la largeur est prévue pour recevoir le bord supérieur 120 de l'écran tactile 12. En outre la rainure 202 accueille un moyen 204 de maintien de l'écran tactile 12, de façon à éviter une éjection intempestive de l'écran en cas de choc.  As shown in Figure 5, the crossbar 20 has a groove 202 whose width is provided to receive the upper edge 120 of the touch screen 12. In addition the groove 202 accommodates a means 204 for maintaining the touch screen 12, so as to avoid an inadvertent ejection of the screen in case of shock.
Ainsi, lorsqu'un passager souhaite utiliser son écran tactile, il lui suffit de poser le dispositif 10 sur un support tel qu'une table par exemple, le fond F du réceptacle étant en contact avec la table, de faire pivoter le couvercle 14 vers le haut autour de son axe transversal X, d'insérer le bord inférieur de son écran dans la gorge prévue au fond du réceptacle 16 puis de faire coulisser la barre transversale 20 vers le haut jusqu'à ce qu'il puisse insérer le bord supérieur de l'écran dans la rainure 202, puis de faire redescendre légèrement la barre 20 pour que la hauteur de la barre soit bien ajustée à la hauteur de l'écran tactile 12. Dans le cas d'un écran tactile pouvant être utilisé aussi bien verticalement qu'horizontalement, il est alors possible de faire coulisser la barre vers le haut pour libérer le bord supérieur de l'écran tactile puis de faire tourner l'appareil d'un quart de tour afin d'insérer un de ses bords latéraux dans la gorge prévue dans le fond du réceptacle puis de faire coulisser la barre transversale vers le bas jusqu'à ce que l'autre bord latéral coopère avec la rainure 202 de la barre transversale. Thus, when a passenger wishes to use his touch screen, it is sufficient for him to put the device 10 on a support such as a table for example, the bottom F of the receptacle being in contact with the table, to rotate the lid 14 towards the top around its transverse axis X, to insert the lower edge of its screen in the groove provided at the bottom of the receptacle 16 and then to slide the transverse bar 20 upwards until it can insert the upper edge the screen in the groove 202, then slightly lower the bar 20 so that the height of the bar is adjusted to the height of the touch screen 12. In the case of a touch screen that can be used both vertically and horizontally, it is then possible to slide the bar upwards to release the upper edge of the touch screen and then to rotate the apparatus of a quarter turn to insert one of its side edges into the groove provided in the bottom of the receptacle and then slide the cross bar down until the other side edge cooperates with the groove 202 of the cross bar .
Les dimensions du réceptacle 16 sont prévues pour que le dispositif de support en position fermée puisse former un moyen de rangement de la tablette tactile 12.  The dimensions of the receptacle 16 are provided so that the support device in the closed position can form a storage means of the touch pad 12.
