Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un touret repliable.The invention relates to a folding drum.
Les fils ou câbles électriques de téléphone ou autres sont livrés aux utilisateurs enroulés sur des tourets qui peuvent être métalliques, en bois ou encore en matière plastique.Telephone or other electrical wires or cables are delivered to users wound on reels which may be metallic, wooden or even plastic.
Ces tourets peuvent avoir des diamètres très différents et, par exemple, de 50 centimètres ou de 2 mètres.These drums can have very different diameters and, for example, 50 centimeters or 2 meters.
Classiquement, un touret est constitué de deux joues généralement de section circulaire reliées entre elles par un corps central autour duquel s'enroule l'élément longiligne à stocker.Conventionally, a reel consists of two cheeks generally of circular section connected together by a central body around which the elongated element to be stored is wound.
Lorsque l'utilisateur a terminé de prélever le câble, il se retrouve avec un touret dont il ne sait quoi faire.When the user has finished taking the cable, he is left with a reel which he does not know what to do.
Ne disposant pas des moyens nécessaires pour procéder à leur élimination ou à leur recyclage , il retourne les tourets aux fournisseurs des câbles ou adresse ceux ci à une entreprise chargée du recyclage.Not having the means necessary to eliminate or recycle them, he returns the drums to the cable suppliers or sends them to a recycling company.
En raison du rapport poids/encombrement défavorable, le coût du retour apparait disproportionné par rapport à l'intérêt de ce retour.Due to the unfavorable weight / size ratio, the cost of the return appears disproportionate to the interest of this return.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, est connu un touret (GB-A-366.509) dit pliable dont les joues sont associées entre elles par des moyens permettant de modifier momentanément la distance les séparant.To overcome this drawback, there is known a reel (GB-A-366.509) said foldable whose cheeks are associated with each other by means for temporarily changing the distance between them.
Pour cela le corps central comprend :
- des entretoises réparties selon une enveloppe prédéterminée,
- chaque entretoise est formée de deux tronçons articulés entre eux à la manière des branches d'un compas et
- les pieds du compas sont eux mêmes articulés sur la face interne des joues de sorte que, lorsque les compas sont repliés, les joues sont rapprochées.
- spacers distributed according to a predetermined envelope,
- each spacer is formed of two sections hinged together like the arms of a compass and
- the feet of the compass are themselves articulated on the internal face of the cheeks so that, when the compasses are folded, the cheeks are brought together.
Pour utiliser ces tourets, on écarte les branches des compas et on enroule le câble autour du corps central.To use these drums, we spread the arms of the compasses and wrap the cable around the central body.
Les spires du câble réalisent le verrouillage des compas.The turns of the cable lock the compasses.
Pour aider au déploiement du touret, il est connu de prévoir un moyen élastique (DE-A-3536555) intercalé entre une joue et un point de l'une des branches des compas, écarté de l'axe d'articulation de la branche sur la joue.To assist in the deployment of the reel, it is known to provide an elastic means (DE-A-3536555) interposed between a cheek and a point of one of the arms of the compasses, spaced from the axis of articulation of the arm on the cheek.
Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de multiplier pour une raison ou une autre le nombre de compas de manière à recréer un corps central dont la paroi externe est sensiblement continue, on fait appel à des compas dont les branches on une section analogue à la section d'une douve.When it is necessary to multiply for one reason or another the number of compasses so as to recreate a central body whose external wall is substantially continuous, recourse is had to compasses whose branches have a section similar to the section of a moat.
Il devient alors de plus en plus délicat de déplier ou replier le touret en raison tant des nombreuses articulations que des phénomènes liés à la torsion et à la forme en demi-douve des tronçons utilisés.It then becomes more and more difficult to unfold or fold the reel because of the numerous joints as well as the phenomena linked to the torsion and to the half-moat shape of the sections used.
Pour réaliser les articulations, il est connu (FR-A-2708582) d'utiliser des organes élastiques.To make the joints, it is known (FR-A-2708582) to use elastic members.
Lorsque l'on souhaite replier le touret, le préposé chargé de l'opération doit contraindre élastiquement l'un des compas vers l'intérieur du corps, de manière à pouvoir saisir l'un des compas adjacents et le tirer vers l'extérieur pour amorcer le pliage des autres compas.When it is desired to fold up the reel, the operator in charge of the operation must elastically constrain one of the compasses towards the inside of the body, so as to be able to grasp one of the adjacent compasses and pull it outwards to start folding other compasses.
Pour aider au rapprochement des joues, peut être également prévu un élément élastique reliant les deux joues du touret (FR-A-2708583) et tendant à les rapprocher.To help bring the cheeks closer together, an elastic element can also be provided connecting the two cheeks of the drum (FR-A-2708583) and tending to bring them closer.
Ces solutions ne conviennent que pour des tourets de faibles diamètres, relativement légers qui ne sont pas destinés à supporter des efforts importants tels que ceux développés sur les tourets notamment de deux mètres et plus.These solutions are only suitable for drums of small, relatively light diameters which are not intended to withstand significant forces such as those developed on drums, in particular of two meters and more.
L'un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est un touret repliable qui remédie notamment aux inconvénients précités.One of the results that the invention aims to obtain is a folding reel which overcomes in particular the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un tel touret comprenant:
- deux joues généralement de section circulaire reliées entre elles par un corps central autour duquel s'enroule un élément longiligne à enrouler,
- des entretoises réparties selon une enveloppe prédéterminée,
- chaque entretoise est formée de deux tronçons articulés entre eux à la manière des branches d'un compas et,
- les pieds du compas sont eux même articulés sur la face interne des joues de sorte que lorsque les compas sont repliés les joues sont rapprochées
- two cheeks generally of circular section linked together by a central body around which a slender element to be wound is wound,
- spacers distributed according to a predetermined envelope,
- each spacer is formed by two sections hinged together like the arms of a compass and,
- the feet of the compass are themselves articulated on the inner face of the cheeks so that when the compasses are folded the cheeks are brought together
ce touret étant notamment CARACTERISE en ce que les joues du touret sont reliées entre elles par des moyens de guidage en translation d'une joue par rapport à l'autre selon une direction perpendiculaire aux plans des joues de manière à les maintenir constamment parallèles pendant les manoeuvres tendant à les écarter ou les éloigner.this reel being in particular CHARACTERIZED in that the cheeks of the reel are connected together by means of guiding in translation of one cheek relative to the other in a direction perpendicular to the planes of the cheeks so as to keep them constantly parallel during the maneuvers tending to move them apart or away from them.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin ci annexé qui représente schématiquement :
- figure 1 : touret vu en plan,
- figure 2 : coupe selon II II de la figure 1,

En se reportant au dessin, on voit qu'un touret 1 dit repliable comprend classiquement :
- deux
joues 2 généralement de section circulaire reliées entre elles par uncorps 3 central, autour duquel s'enroule l'élément longiligne à stocker (non représenté), - des
entretoises 4 réparties selon une enveloppe prédéterminée formant le corps central, - chaque
entretoise 4 est formée de deuxtronçons 4A,4B articulés entre eux à la manière des branches d'un compas et, - les
pieds 5 du compas sont eux mêmes articulés sur la face interne 6 desjoues 2 de sorte que, lorsque lescompas 4 sont repliés, lesjoues 2 sont rapprochées.
- two
cheeks 2 generally of circular section linked together by acentral body 3, around which the elongated element to be stored is wound (not shown), -
spacers 4 distributed according to a predetermined envelope forming the central body, - each
spacer 4 is formed of twosections 4A, 4B hinged together in the manner of the arms of a compass and, - the
feet 5 of the compass are themselves articulated on theinternal face 6 of thecheeks 2 so that, when thecompasses 4 are folded, thecheeks 2 are brought together.
Dans une forme préférée d'exécution, la paroi externe du corps central est sensiblement continue et les branches des compas ont chacun sensiblement une section analogue à la section d'une douve.In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the central body is substantially continuous and the arms of the compasses each have substantially a section similar to the section of a moat.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, les joues 2 du touret sont reliées entre elles par des moyens 16 de guidage en translation d'une joue par rapport à l'autre selon une direction perpendiculaire aux plans des joues 2 de manière à les maintenir constamment parallèles pendant les manoeuvres tendant à les écarter ou les éloigner.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the
En outre, le touret comprend :
- un
moyen 7 moteur permettant, selon l'opération souhaitée, à la fois d'écarter et de rapprocher progressivement les joues ainsi qu'un moyen 8 pour les verrouiller dans la position souhaitée.
- motor means 7 making it possible, depending on the desired operation, both to spread and gradually bring the cheeks together as well as means 8 for locking them in the desired position.
Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, le moyen 7 moteur comprend :
- au moins trois
éléments 7A moteurs longilignes de longueur variable dont les extrémités 9 sont chacune fixées sur la face interne 6 des joues, ceséléments 7A moteurs étant perpendiculaires et régulièrement répartis sur les faces internes précitées et, - un
moyen 10 synchronisant la variation de longueur de tous les éléments moteurs.
- at least three
elongated motor elements 7A of variable length, the ends 9 of which are each fixed to theinternal face 6 of the cheeks, thesemotor elements 7A being perpendicular and regularly distributed over the abovementioned internal faces and, - a
means 10 synchronizing the variation in length of all the driving elements.
Les moyens 16 de guidage en translation comprennent au moins deux tubes 17,18 coulissant l'un dans l'autre, la portée externe du tube intérieur 17 coopérant au jeu de fonctionnement près avec la portée interne du tube extérieur 18.The
Ces tubes 17,18 sont notamment de section carrée.These
De préférence, les moyens 16 de guidage sont régulièrement répartis sur une circonférence centrée sur l'axe du touret et sont de préférence au moins au nombre de troisPreferably, the guide means 16 are regularly distributed over a circumference centered on the axis of the drum and are preferably at least three in number.
Avantageusement, les moyens 16 de guidage logent au moins partiellement les éléments 7A moteurs.Advantageously, the guide means 16 at least partially house the
Dans une forme de réalisation non représentée les éléments moteurs 7A consistent en des vérins.In an embodiment not shown, the driving
Dans une autre forme de réalisation :
- le tube interne loge un manchon 19 taraudé immobilisé en translation et en rotation,
- le tube externe loge une vis 20 qui, libre en rotation mais immobilisée en translation, a son filetage qui coopère avec le taraudage du manchon 19 précité et,
- les vis des différents moyens moteurs sont reliées par une transmission 21 synchronisant leurs rotations et donc la variation de longueur des éléments moteurs.
- the internal tube houses a threaded sleeve 19 immobilized in translation and in rotation,
- the outer tube houses a
screw 20 which, free in rotation but immobilized in translation, has its thread which cooperates with the thread of the aforementioned sleeve 19 and, - the screws of the various motor means are connected by a transmission 21 synchronizing their rotations and therefore the variation in length of the motor elements.
A cet effet la tête des vis porte un pignon 22 avec lequel engrène une chaîne de transmission telle une chaîne à rouleaux.For this purpose the head of the screws carries a
Cette chaîne de transmission sera protégée par une gaine de protection.This transmission chain will be protected by a protective sheath.
Au moins l'une des têtes de vis présente des moyens 23 facilitant sa préhension et permettant, en entraînant la vis, d'entraîner également la transmission.At least one of the screw heads has means 23 facilitating its gripping and allowing, by driving the screw, also to drive the transmission.
Le système vis écrou réalise directement le moyen de verrouillage.The screw nut system directly implements the locking means.
Ces dispositions permettent de plier ou déplier progressivement tous les types de tourets, même ceux de grandes dimensions sans difficulté majeure et sans risque de se pincer les doigts sous l'effet d'un brutal rapprochement des joues.These provisions make it possible to gradually fold or unfold all types of reels, even those of large dimensions without major difficulty and without the risk of pinching your fingers under the effect of a brutal bringing together of the cheeks.
