Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a flat wrench with alternative rotation control, without having to separate the fork from the flat wrench from the nut to be screwed or unscrewed.
- the state of the art includes such documents.
- Document FR- ⁇ -2. 675. 728 relates to a ratchet-controlled wrench comprising a longitudinal gripping body terminated at one end by a sleeve for receiving a socket, capable of ensuring the screwing or unscrewing of a nut, bolt or screw head with which it is capable of cooperating, characterized in that it comprises a ratchet mechanism formed in the longitudinal body and one end of which opens into said sleeve to cooperate with radial grooves formed peripherally on a portion of said sleeve.
- Document WO- ⁇ -8.905.213 relates to a ratchet which comprises a jaw chuck provided with clamping teeth on a part of its circumference and rotatably mounted in a jaw head of a lever, the clamping teeth snapping into place with intermediate pieces arranged in the head.
- the transmission of forces when the mandrel is rotated in the head is ensured despite the presence of intermediate parts arranged in the jaws.
- the intermediate parts are in the form of ratchet levers biased by springs and distributed in a predetermined manner, at regular intervals, around the clamping teeth distributed over the remaining outer circumference of the mandrel.
- the jaws of the mandrel have in the area adjacent to the part of their circumference which carries the clamping teeth, on the anterior side of the mandrel, seen in the direction of free travel, a face radial with respect to said part of their circumference. Additional mechanical drive elements act on the mandrel itself.
- Document EP-A-0.314.106 proposes a ratchet key provided with a nut having a jaw and pivoting in one direction, by means of a snap, in a key head in the form of a jaw; the key comprises a pair of movable elements which engage in two zones spaced from a swivel crown of the nut, carrying the vacuum of the jaw and which produces, against the blocking action of 1 'snap, a rotation of the nut while moving.
- the engagement elements and the relative crown are preferably presented as pawls and snap teeth or as gears. This facilitates the rotation of the nut, necessary for the removal of the key from the bolts, the end of the threads of which is not free, until the jaws of the nut and of the key head coincide and the tool can be removed radially.
- the first document is representative of the most current state of the art. These are socket wrenches that are high and cannot work in tight spaces, i.e., for example, the distance between the head of the screw, the nut, etc. where the sleeve must be fitted, on the one hand, and the neighboring parts located in the extension of the longitudinal axis of said screw, on the other hand, is too weak for the socket wrench to be able to be positioned.
- Document US-A-3,906,822 relates to a key in which one of the embodiments has a large number of balls or rollers with around each roller and between two adjacent rollers of the workpiece carriers.
- the set of rollers may or may not dodge in gradients by means of a single cantilever spring. It is a question here, no more no less, of transposing the principle of the freewheel to a key.
- the mobile elements are present over the entire "active" surface of the key, which is essentially circular in shape. This system is therefore very complex and quite fragile.
- Document US-A-2. 730,000 offers an open-end wrench containing balls where each branch of the fork has a single ball.
- the housings containing the balls do not have an oblique position, there is no bracing but immobilization by obstacle. It follows that, during the screwing or unscrewing, the resumption of the nut takes place after a rotation of 60 ' , which is a very large clearance not always available.
- document GB-A-786.227 discloses that one of the branches of the fork constituting the flat key has two movable rollers housed in two longitudinal housings. There are bracing rollers to allow screwing or unscrewing. Finally, there is an action of a spring on each roller in order to allow its longitudinal displacement in the housing with return to position.
- this key is very fragile.
- the other branch has a movable cam plate relative to an axis and returned to position by a spring. It is therefore easy to understand that all the effort exerted on this other branch will be collected by this single axis.

- the present invention relates to a flat key with control of alternative rotation operating with angular travel.
- This flat key comprises a longitudinal handle not shown in the figures which is provided at at least one of its ends with a fork referenced 1 whatever the embodiment shown in the figures.
- This fork will allow to screw and / or unscrew a threaded object such as a nut 7, as we will see in Figures 5 and 6, but also a bolt, a screw, a tube or other means of fixing the public domain .
- Each fork 1 is conventionally formed of two branches 2 and 3 as can be seen in FIG. 1, the fork 1 constituting a jaw.
- one of the branches 4 comprises two movable rollers 6 which are housed in two housings 8 and 9 formed in the body of the fork 1.
- Each housing 8 or 9 is provided with an opening 10 or 11 which opens at the jaw, that is to say at the edge of the branch 4.
- the torque will be obtained by one action of the mobile roll 6 will be blocked by jamming 'between, firstly, the folds of the nut 7 which will be set up in order to be screwed or unscrewed, then, the faces of the housing 8 or 9 where the movable roller 6 is located and finally, the branch of the fork 1 situated opposite the branch 4.
- the roller 6 is movable between two positions inside its housing 8 or 9.
- a first so-called retracted position is made against a spring 12, according to a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, present inside the body of the fork 1.
- the means for returning the rollers 6 to the deployed position can be constituted either by a leaf spring 19, or by an elastomer 23 wedged in the longitudinal housing 8 or 9 against said roller 6.
- a leaf spring 19 it is 8 possible to have one spring per roller 6, one spring for two rollers 6 of the same branch 4 or one spring for four rollers
- This contact point is generally formed by the guide means 13.
- the roller 6 can perform another movement, which is a rotational movement on itself since the latter has an axis acting as guide means 13.
- the guide means 13 can be present on one side of the rollers 6, or on the two faces which constitute said rollers 6. Each of these guide means 13 corresponds to a slide
- bracing allows the nut to be tightened or loosened
- each movable roller is possible because the force exerted by the flange (s) of the nut 7 on the interior faces of the housing 8 or 9, where the braced roller 6 is located, is substantially perpendicular to these interior faces of said housing 8 or 9. In the case of the retraction of the roller 6, this force is substantially parallel to said interior faces of the housing 8 or 9. As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 4, each movable roller
- These guide means 13 are located inside slides 22 present on at least one of the two back 16 or front 17 plates forming the fork 1, the intermediate plate 18 receiving the main body of the roller 6.
- the general shape of the housings 8 or 9 is therefore substantially oblong, this shape is due to the intermediate plate 18 while the front 17 and dorsal 16 plates laterally delimit each housing 8 or 9.
- Two intermediate and lateral plates could also form a single intermediate and lateral plate, not shown in the figures.
- the guide means 13 can therefore be present on only one of the sides of the roller 6, whether at the level of the front plate 17 or of the back plate 16, but they can just as easily be present on the two plates 16 and 17 When, as shown in FIG.
- a branch 4 comprises two movable rollers 6, housed in two housings 8 and 9, the longitudinal axes of the two housings 8 and 9, which are therefore located on a single branch 4 of the fork 1, have an obliquity which is different from the edges of the jaw where they are located.
- the acute angle ⁇ is between the longitudinal axis of the housing 8, having an opening 10, and the edge of the jaw where the housing 8 is located.
- This angle ⁇ is between 12 and 20 * depending on the nature of the materials which constitute the flat key.
- the acute angle ⁇ is, for its part, between the longitudinal angle of the housing 9 and the edge of the jaw where the housing 9 is located and is between 42 and 50 " , always depending on the nature of the materials which constitute the Flat key.
- the branch 4 comprises two movable rollers 6, located opposite a branch 5, where the movable rollers are not present but are physically replaced by two bosses 14, representing the deployed form of the rollers 6 when these are present.
- bosses 14 will therefore allow good retention of the nut 7 in position even if the movable rollers 6 are absent on this branch 5. It will suffice simply to ensure that the travel of the movable rollers 6 present on the branch 4 is sufficient to allow the nut 7 to rotate freely, when the flat key is automatically returned around said nut 7.
- the branch 5 is replaced by a branch 3 because the bosses are simply replaced by rollers 15, which have the possibility of moving inside their housing 20, but this mobility is limited to a simple rotation.
- This mobility is made possible due to the presence of a rotation axis 21, which will require the presence of a bore or blind hole at the level of the back plates 16 and / or front 17, but this is not shown. in the figures.
- rollers 15, just like the bosses 14, will allow the nut 7 to be well maintained, which one will want to screw or unscrew, but will also make it possible to facilitate the return to the position of the flat key during its angular movement.
- FIGS. 3 to 8 The preferred embodiment is shown in FIGS. 3 to 8.
- This embodiment has a fork 1 having two identical branches 4 which are distinguished only by the position of the housings 8 and 9 of each branch 4.
- the acute angle ⁇ between the longitudinal axis of one 8 of the housings 8 and 9 and the edge of the jaw where the ' housing 8 is located, is between 12 and 20 "for the roller 6 d 'one of the branches 4 furthest from the bottom of said jaw, as well as for the roller 6 of the other jaw 4 closest to the bottom of the jaw'.
- the acute angle ⁇ in the same way is between the longitudinal axis of one of the housings 8 and 9 and the edge of the jaw where the housing 9 is located.
- This acute angle ⁇ is between 42 and 50 " for the roller 6 of one of the branches 4 closest to the bottom of said jaw, as well as for the roller 6 of the other branch 4 furthest from the bottom of the jaw.
- each housing 8 or 9 furthest from the bottom of the jaw of one of the legs 4 of the fork 1 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 8 or 9 closest to the bottom of the jaw located on the other branch 4 of said fork 1.
- the minimum angular clearance of the flat key allowing a return, during the screwing or unscrewing of the nut 7, of hexagonal shape will be 30 * since the bracing can be done on each of the hexagon of said nut 7, see FIG. 5, as well as at the level of each of the edges forming the interface between two adjacent panels of the same nut 7.
- the angular clearance will of course be much lower.
- the spacing of the branches 3, 4 and / or 5 of the fork 1 can be adjusted by means of an adjustment device of the adjustable wrench type.
- each movable roller 6 is provided with ridges on all or part of its faces in contact with the nut 7 and / or with the faces of said housing 8 or
- the housings 8, 9 or 20 do not allow the bracing but simply the correct guiding of the sides of the nut 7 when handling the flat wrench with rotation control alternative.

Description
"Clé plate à commande de rotation alternative" "Open wrench with alternative rotation control"
La présente invention a pour objet une clé plate à commande de rotation alternative, sans avoir à désolidariser la fourche de la clé plate de l'écrou à visser ou à dévisser. L'état de la technique comprend de tels documents.The subject of the present invention is a flat wrench with alternative rotation control, without having to separate the fork from the flat wrench from the nut to be screwed or unscrewed. The state of the art includes such documents.
Le document FR-Α-2. 675. 728 concerne une clé à commande de rotation par cliquets comportant un corps longitudinal de préhension terminé à une extrémité par un fourreau de réception d ' une douille, apte à assurer le vissage ou le dévissage d ' un écrou, boulon ou tête de vis avec lequel elle est susceptible de coopérer, caractérisé en ce qu 'il comporte un mécanisme à cliquets ménagé dans le corps longitudinal et dont une extrémité débouche dans ledit fourreau pour coopérer avec des cannelures radiales ménagées périphériquement sur une portion de ladite douille. Le document WO-Α-8.905.213 a trait à une clé à cliquet qui comprend un mandrin à mors pourvu de dents de serrage sur une partie de sa circonférence et rotativement monté dans une tête à mâchoires d ' un levier, les dents de serrage s ' encliquetant avec des pièces intermédiaires agencées dans la tête. La transmission de forces lors de la mise en rotation du mandrin dans la tête est assurée malgré la présence de pièces intermédiaires agencées dans les mâchoires. Les pièces intermédiaires ont la forme de leviers à cliquets sollicités par des ressorts et distribués de manière prédéterminée, à des écarts réguliers, autour des dents de serrage distribuées sur la circonférence extérieure restante du mandrin. Les mors du mandrin présentent dans la zone adjacente à la partie de leur circonférence qui porte les dents de serrage, du côté antérieur du mandrin, vu dans le sens de la course libre, une face
radiale par rapport à ladite partie de leur circonférence. Des éléments mécaniques supplémentaires d ' entraînement agissent sur le mandrin proprement dit .Document FR-Α-2. 675. 728 relates to a ratchet-controlled wrench comprising a longitudinal gripping body terminated at one end by a sleeve for receiving a socket, capable of ensuring the screwing or unscrewing of a nut, bolt or screw head with which it is capable of cooperating, characterized in that it comprises a ratchet mechanism formed in the longitudinal body and one end of which opens into said sleeve to cooperate with radial grooves formed peripherally on a portion of said sleeve. Document WO-Α-8.905.213 relates to a ratchet which comprises a jaw chuck provided with clamping teeth on a part of its circumference and rotatably mounted in a jaw head of a lever, the clamping teeth snapping into place with intermediate pieces arranged in the head. The transmission of forces when the mandrel is rotated in the head is ensured despite the presence of intermediate parts arranged in the jaws. The intermediate parts are in the form of ratchet levers biased by springs and distributed in a predetermined manner, at regular intervals, around the clamping teeth distributed over the remaining outer circumference of the mandrel. The jaws of the mandrel have in the area adjacent to the part of their circumference which carries the clamping teeth, on the anterior side of the mandrel, seen in the direction of free travel, a face radial with respect to said part of their circumference. Additional mechanical drive elements act on the mandrel itself.
Le document EP-A-0.314.106 propose une clé à cliquets munie d ' une noix présentant une mâchoire et pivotant dans un seul sens , grâce à un encliquetage , dans une tête de clé en forme de mâchoire ; la clé comporte une paire d ' éléments mobile qui s ' engagent dans deux zones écartées d ' une couronne de pivotement de la noix, en portant le vide de la mâchoire et qui produit, à 1 ' encontre de l ' action de blocage de 1 ' encliquetage , une rotation de la noix en se déplaçant . Les éléments d ' engagement et la couronne relative se présentent , de préférence comme des cliquets et une denture d ' encliquetage ou comme des engrenages . Ceci facilite la rotation de la noix, nécessaire au retrait de la clé des boulons dont l ' extrémité de filets n 'est pas libre, jusqu ' à ce que les mâchoires de la noix et de la tête de clé coïncident et que 1 'outil puisse être retiré radialement.Document EP-A-0.314.106 proposes a ratchet key provided with a nut having a jaw and pivoting in one direction, by means of a snap, in a key head in the form of a jaw; the key comprises a pair of movable elements which engage in two zones spaced from a swivel crown of the nut, carrying the vacuum of the jaw and which produces, against the blocking action of 1 'snap, a rotation of the nut while moving. The engagement elements and the relative crown are preferably presented as pawls and snap teeth or as gears. This facilitates the rotation of the nut, necessary for the removal of the key from the bolts, the end of the threads of which is not free, until the jaws of the nut and of the key head coincide and the tool can be removed radially.
Le premier document est représentatif de l'état de la technique le plus courant. Il s'agit de clés à douille qui sont hautes et ne peuvent pas fonctionner dans des espaces réduits, c'est-à-dire, par exemple, que la distance entre la tête de la vis, l'écrou, etc. où la douille doit être emmanchée, d'une part, et les pièces avoisinantes situées dans le prolongement de l'axe longitudinal de ladite vis, d'autre part, est trop faible pour que la clé à douille puisse être positionnée.The first document is representative of the most current state of the art. These are socket wrenches that are high and cannot work in tight spaces, i.e., for example, the distance between the head of the screw, the nut, etc. where the sleeve must be fitted, on the one hand, and the neighboring parts located in the extension of the longitudinal axis of said screw, on the other hand, is too weak for the socket wrench to be able to be positioned.
Les deux documents suivants concernent des clés que l'on pourrait qualifier de plate, bien qu'elles soient volumineuses et complexes. Néanmoins, elles utilisent des cliquets pour le retour automatique, de ce fait la mâchoire contenue dans ces clés pour pouvoir être désaccouplée de la vis, après vissage ou dévissage, doit avoir effectué un ou plusieurs tours complets. Si le ou les tours ne sont pas complets, le désaccouplement ne pourra se faire que dans le prolongement axial de la vis, comme c'est le cas pour les clés à douille. Quels que soient les modes de réalisation, le retour automatique en position de toutes ces clés se fait à l'aide de systèmes à cliquets.The following two documents relate to keys that could be described as flat, although they are bulky and complex. However, they use pawls for automatic return, therefore the jaw contained in these keys to be able to be uncoupled from the screw, after screwing or unscrewing, must have made one or more complete turns. If the revolution (s) are not complete, uncoupling can only be done as an axial extension of the screw, as is the case with socket wrenches. Whatever the embodiments, the automatic return to position of all these keys is done using ratchet systems.
Le document US-A-3.906.822 concerne une clé dont l ' un des modes de réalisation présente un nombre important de billes ou de
rouleaux avec autour de chaque rouleau et entre deux rouleaux adjacents des porte-pièces. L ' ensemble des rouleaux peut s ' esquiver ou non dans des déclivités par l 'intermédiaire d ' un unique ressort cantilever. II s'agit ici, ni plus ni moins, de transposer le principe de la roue libre à une clé. Les éléments mobiles sont présents sur toute la surface "active" de la clé qui est de forme essentiellement circulaire. Ce système est donc très complexe et assez fragile. Le document US-A-2. 730.000 propose une clé à fourche contenant des billes où chaque branche de la fourche comporte une seule bille. Les logements contenant les billes n 'ont pas une position oblique, il n 'y a pas arc-boutement mais immobilisation par obstacle. II s'ensuit que, lors du vissage ou du dévissage, la reprise de l'écrou s'effectue après une rotation de 60', ce qui est un débattement très important pas toujours disponible.Document US-A-3,906,822 relates to a key in which one of the embodiments has a large number of balls or rollers with around each roller and between two adjacent rollers of the workpiece carriers. The set of rollers may or may not dodge in gradients by means of a single cantilever spring. It is a question here, no more no less, of transposing the principle of the freewheel to a key. The mobile elements are present over the entire "active" surface of the key, which is essentially circular in shape. This system is therefore very complex and quite fragile. Document US-A-2. 730,000 offers an open-end wrench containing balls where each branch of the fork has a single ball. The housings containing the balls do not have an oblique position, there is no bracing but immobilization by obstacle. It follows that, during the screwing or unscrewing, the resumption of the nut takes place after a rotation of 60 ' , which is a very large clearance not always available.
Enfin, le document GB-A-786.227 divulgue que l ' une des branches de la fourche constituant la clé plate, présente deux rouleaux mobiles logés dans deux logements longitudinaux. Il y a arc-boutement des rouleaux pour permettre le vissage ou le dévissage. Enfin, il y a une action d ' un ressort sur chaque rouleau afin de permettre son déplacement longitudinal dans le logement avec rappel en position. Néanmoins, cette clé est très fragile. L'autre branche comporte un plateau-came mobile par rapport à un axe et rappelée en position par un ressort. Il est donc aisé de comprendre que tout l'effort, exercé sur cette autre branche, sera encaissé par ce seul axe. De plus, l'utilisation d'une tête flottant augmente l'épaisseur du manche et le coût de la clé.Finally, document GB-A-786.227 discloses that one of the branches of the fork constituting the flat key has two movable rollers housed in two longitudinal housings. There are bracing rollers to allow screwing or unscrewing. Finally, there is an action of a spring on each roller in order to allow its longitudinal displacement in the housing with return to position. However, this key is very fragile. The other branch has a movable cam plate relative to an axis and returned to position by a spring. It is therefore easy to understand that all the effort exerted on this other branch will be collected by this single axis. In addition, the use of a floating head increases the thickness of the handle and the cost of the key.
Le principe de l'invention est plus simple, moins onéreux plus performant et moins encombrant. Plusieurs modes de réalisation sont possibles qui se basent tous sur le principe de l'arc-boutement d'un rouleau ou galet présent dans le corps de la fourche, ce qui permet le blocage en position de l'écrou à visser ou à dévisser par rapport à ladite fourche de la Clé plate.The principle of the invention is simpler, less expensive, more efficient and less bulky.

La présente invention concerne une clé plate à commande de
rotation alternative fonctionnant avec un débattement angulaire.The present invention relates to a flat key with control of alternative rotation operating with angular travel.
Le principe de fonctionnement de cette clé plate est bien représenté sur les figures.The operating principle of this flat key is well represented in the figures.
Cette clé plate comporte un manche longitudinal non représenté sur les figures qui est muni à au moins une des ses extrémités d'une fourche référencée 1 quel que soit le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures.This flat key comprises a longitudinal handle not shown in the figures which is provided at at least one of its ends with a fork referenced 1 whatever the embodiment shown in the figures.
Cette fourche va permettre de visser et/ou de dévisser un objet fileté tel qu'un écrou 7, comme on le verra sur les figures 5 et 6, mais également un boulon, une vis, un tube ou autre moyen de fixation du domaine public.This fork will allow to screw and / or unscrew a threaded object such as a nut 7, as we will see in Figures 5 and 6, but also a bolt, a screw, a tube or other means of fixing the public domain .
Chaque fourche 1 est classiquement formée de deux branches 2 et 3 comme on le voit bien à la figure 1, la fourche 1 constituant une mâchoire. Sur toutes les figures, l'une des branches 4 comporte deux rouleaux mobiles 6 qui sont logés dans deux logements 8 et 9 pratiqués dans le corps de la fourche 1.Each fork 1 is conventionally formed of two branches 2 and 3 as can be seen in FIG. 1, the fork 1 constituting a jaw. In all the figures, one of the branches 4 comprises two movable rollers 6 which are housed in two housings 8 and 9 formed in the body of the fork 1.
Chaque logement 8 ou 9 est pourvu d'une ouverture 10 ou 11 qui débouche au niveau de la mâchoire c'est-à-dire au niveau du bord de la branche 4.Each housing 8 or 9 is provided with an opening 10 or 11 which opens at the jaw, that is to say at the edge of the branch 4.
Le couple de serrage va donc être obtenu par 1 'action du rouleau mobile 6 qui va être bloqué par arc-boutement 'entre, tout d'abord, les pans de l'écrou 7 qui sera mis en place afin d'être vissé ou dévissé, ensuite, les faces du logement 8 ou 9 où se trouve implanté le rouleau mobile 6 et enfin, la branche de la fourche 1 située en vis-à-vis de la branche 4.The torque will be obtained by one action of the mobile roll 6 will be blocked by jamming 'between, firstly, the folds of the nut 7 which will be set up in order to be screwed or unscrewed, then, the faces of the housing 8 or 9 where the movable roller 6 is located and finally, the branch of the fork 1 situated opposite the branch 4.
Le rouleau 6 est mobile entre deux positions à l'intérieur de son logement 8 ou 9.The roller 6 is movable between two positions inside its housing 8 or 9.
Une première position dite escamotée se fait à l'encontre d'un ressort 12, selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 6, présent à l'intérieur du corps de la fourche 1.A first so-called retracted position is made against a spring 12, according to a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, present inside the body of the fork 1.
Une seconde position dite déployée dans laquelle le rouleau 6 dépasse de l'ouverture 10 ou 11 du logement 8 ou 9. Selon deux autres modes de réalisation, représentés aux figures 7 et 8, le moyen de rappel en position déployée des rouleaux 6 peut être constitué soit par un ressort à lame 19, soit par un élastomère 23 coincé dans le logement longitudinal 8 ou 9 contre ledit rouleau 6. Dans le cas d'un ressort à lame 19, il est
8 possible d'avoir un ressort par rouleau 6, un ressort pour deux rouleaux 6 d'une même branche 4 ou un ressort pour quatre rouleauxA second so-called deployed position in which the roller 6 projects from the opening 10 or 11 of the housing 8 or 9. According to two other embodiments, represented in FIGS. 7 and 8, the means for returning the rollers 6 to the deployed position can be constituted either by a leaf spring 19, or by an elastomer 23 wedged in the longitudinal housing 8 or 9 against said roller 6. In the case of a leaf spring 19, it is 8 possible to have one spring per roller 6, one spring for two rollers 6 of the same branch 4 or one spring for four rollers
6 d'une même fourche 1. Quoi qu'il en soit, la tangente ou point de contact entre le ressort à lame 19 et un rouleau 6 est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du logement 8 ou 9 concerné.6 of the same fork 1. Anyway, the tangent or point of contact between the leaf spring 19 and a roller 6 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing 8 or 9 concerned.
Ce point de contact est généralement formé par les moyens de guidage 13.This contact point is generally formed by the guide means 13.
Outre ce mouvement de translation, le rouleau 6 peut effectuer un autre mouvement, qui est un mouvement de rotation sur lui-même puisque celui-ci comporte un axe faisant office de moyens de guidage 13.In addition to this translational movement, the roller 6 can perform another movement, which is a rotational movement on itself since the latter has an axis acting as guide means 13.
Les moyens de guidage 13 peuvent être présents sur une seule face des rouleaux 6, ou bien sur les deux faces qui constituent lesdits rouleaux 6. Chacun de ces moyens de guidage 13 correspond à une glissièreThe guide means 13 can be present on one side of the rollers 6, or on the two faces which constitute said rollers 6. Each of these guide means 13 corresponds to a slide
22 présente au niveau du corps de la fourche 1.22 present at the body of the fork 1.
Si l'arc-boutement permet de serrer ou de desserrer 1 'écrouIf the bracing allows the nut to be tightened or loosened
7, lorsque le couple de serrage est suffisant, la clé plate étant à commande de rotation alternative, le mouvement de retour de ladite clé plate va permettre l'escamotage de chaque rouleau 6 à l'intérieur de son logement 8 ou 9 et ainsi le déplacement de la fourche 1 par rapport à 1 'écrou 7.7, when the tightening torque is sufficient, the flat key being with alternating rotation control, the return movement of said flat key will allow the retraction of each roller 6 inside its housing 8 or 9 and thus the displacement of the fork 1 with respect to the nut 7.
L'arc-boutement du rouleau 6 est possible du fait que la force, exercée par le ou les pans de l'écrou 7 sur les faces intérieures du logement 8 ou 9, où le rouleau 6 arc-bouté est situé, est sensiblement perpendiculaire à ces faces intérieures dudit logement 8 ou 9. Dans le cas de l'escamotage du rouleau 6, cette force est sensiblement parallèle auxdites faces intérieures du logement 8 ou 9. Comme on le voit mieux à la figure 4, chaque rouleau mobileThe bracing of the roller 6 is possible because the force exerted by the flange (s) of the nut 7 on the interior faces of the housing 8 or 9, where the braced roller 6 is located, is substantially perpendicular to these interior faces of said housing 8 or 9. In the case of the retraction of the roller 6, this force is substantially parallel to said interior faces of the housing 8 or 9. As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 4, each movable roller
6 en rotation et en translation est pourvu de moyens de guidage6 in rotation and in translation is provided with guide means
13 qui coopèrent avec le corps de la fourche 1 pour guider son déplacement à 1 'intérieur du logement 8 ou 9.13 which cooperate with the body of the fork 1 to guide its movement inside the housing 8 or 9.
Ces moyens de guidage 13 sont situés à l'intérieur de glissières 22 présentes sur au moins l'une des deux plaques dorsale 16 ou frontale 17 formant la fourche 1, la plaque intermédiaire 18 recevant quant à elle le corps principal du rouleau 6.These guide means 13 are located inside slides 22 present on at least one of the two back 16 or front 17 plates forming the fork 1, the intermediate plate 18 receiving the main body of the roller 6.
La forme générale des logements 8 ou 9 est donc sensiblement
oblongue, cette forme est due à la plaque intermédiaire 18 alors que les plaques frontale 17 et dorsale 16 délimitent latéralement chaque logement 8 ou 9. Deux plaques intermédiaire et latérale pourraient également former une seule plaque intermédiaire et latérale, non représentée sur les figures. Les moyens de guidage 13 peuvent donc être présents sur un seul des côtés du rouleau 6 que ce soit au niveau de la plaque frontale 17 ou de la plaque dorsale 16, mais ils peuvent, tout aussi bien être présents sur les deux plaques 16 et 17. Lorsque comme cela est représenté à la figure 4, une branche 4 comporte deux rouleaux mobiles 6, logés dans deux logements 8 et 9, les axes longitudinaux des deux logements 8 et 9, qui sont donc situés sur une seule et même branche 4 de la fourche 1, ont une obliquité qui est différente par rapport aux bords de la mâchoire où ils sont implantés.The general shape of the housings 8 or 9 is therefore substantially oblong, this shape is due to the intermediate plate 18 while the front 17 and dorsal 16 plates laterally delimit each housing 8 or 9. Two intermediate and lateral plates could also form a single intermediate and lateral plate, not shown in the figures. The guide means 13 can therefore be present on only one of the sides of the roller 6, whether at the level of the front plate 17 or of the back plate 16, but they can just as easily be present on the two plates 16 and 17 When, as shown in FIG. 4, a branch 4 comprises two movable rollers 6, housed in two housings 8 and 9, the longitudinal axes of the two housings 8 and 9, which are therefore located on a single branch 4 of the fork 1, have an obliquity which is different from the edges of the jaw where they are located.
Cette différence d'obliquité est bien représentée sur la figure 5.This difference in skew is well represented in FIG. 5.
Sur cette figure, l'angle aigu α est compris entre l'axe longitudinal du logement 8, ayant une ouverture 10, et le bord de la mâchoire où le logement 8 est implanté.In this figure, the acute angle α is between the longitudinal axis of the housing 8, having an opening 10, and the edge of the jaw where the housing 8 is located.
Cet angle α est compris entre 12 et 20* selon la nature des matériaux qui constituent la clé plate.This angle α is between 12 and 20 * depending on the nature of the materials which constitute the flat key.
L'angle aigu β est, pour sa part, compris entre l'angle longitudinal du logement 9 et le bord de la mâchoire où le logement 9 est implanté et est compris entre 42 et 50", toujours selon la nature des matériaux qui constitue la clé plate.The acute angle β is, for its part, between the longitudinal angle of the housing 9 and the edge of the jaw where the housing 9 is located and is between 42 and 50 " , always depending on the nature of the materials which constitute the Flat key.
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 1, la branche 4 comporte deux rouleaux mobiles 6, situés en vis-à-vis d'une branche 5, où les rouleaux mobiles ne sont pas présents mais sont physiquement remplacés par deux bossages 14, représentant la forme déployée des rouleaux 6 lorsque ceux-ci sont présents.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the branch 4 comprises two movable rollers 6, located opposite a branch 5, where the movable rollers are not present but are physically replaced by two bosses 14, representing the deployed form of the rollers 6 when these are present.
Ces bossages 14 vont donc permettre un bon maintien en position de l'écrou 7 même si les rouleaux mobiles 6 sont absents sur cette branche 5. II suffira simplement de veiller à ce que le débattement des rouleaux mobiles 6 présents sur la branche 4 soit suffisant pour permettre la libre rotation de l'écrou 7, lorsque l'on fera un retour automatique de la clé plate autour dudit écrou 7.These bosses 14 will therefore allow good retention of the nut 7 in position even if the movable rollers 6 are absent on this branch 5. It will suffice simply to ensure that the travel of the movable rollers 6 present on the branch 4 is sufficient to allow the nut 7 to rotate freely, when the flat key is automatically returned around said nut 7.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation présenté à la figure 2,
la branche 5 est remplacée par une branche 3 car les bossages sont simplement remplacés par des galets 15, qui ont la possibilité de bouger à l'intérieur de leur logement 20, mais cette mobilité est limitée à une simple rotation. Cette mobilité est rendue possible du fait de la présence d'un axe de rotation 21, ce qui va nécessiter la présence d'alésage ou de trou borgne au niveau des plaques dorsale 16 et/ou frontale 17, mais ceci n'est pas représenté sur les figures.According to another embodiment presented in FIG. 2, the branch 5 is replaced by a branch 3 because the bosses are simply replaced by rollers 15, which have the possibility of moving inside their housing 20, but this mobility is limited to a simple rotation. This mobility is made possible due to the presence of a rotation axis 21, which will require the presence of a bore or blind hole at the level of the back plates 16 and / or front 17, but this is not shown. in the figures.
Les galets 15, tout comme les bossages 14, vont permettre de bien maintenir l'écrou 7 que l'on voudra visser ou dévisser, mais permettront également de faciliter le retour en position de la clé plate lors de son débattement angulaire.The rollers 15, just like the bosses 14, will allow the nut 7 to be well maintained, which one will want to screw or unscrew, but will also make it possible to facilitate the return to the position of the flat key during its angular movement.
Le mode préférentiel de réalisation est représenté aux figures 3 à 8. Ce mode de réalisation présente une fourche 1 ayant deux branches identiques 4 qui se distinguent uniquement par la position des logements 8 et 9 de chaque branche 4.The preferred embodiment is shown in FIGS. 3 to 8. This embodiment has a fork 1 having two identical branches 4 which are distinguished only by the position of the housings 8 and 9 of each branch 4.
Ainsi, l'angle aigu α, compris entre l'axe longitudinal de l'un 8 des logements 8 et 9 et le bord de la mâchoire où le ' logement 8 est implanté, est compris entre 12 et 20" pour le rouleau 6 d'une des branches 4 le plus éloigné du fond de ladite mâchoire, ainsi que pour le rouleau 6 de l'autre mâchoire 4 le plus proche du fond de la mâchoire'.Thus, the acute angle α, between the longitudinal axis of one 8 of the housings 8 and 9 and the edge of the jaw where the ' housing 8 is located, is between 12 and 20 "for the roller 6 d 'one of the branches 4 furthest from the bottom of said jaw, as well as for the roller 6 of the other jaw 4 closest to the bottom of the jaw'.
L'angle aigu β de la même façon est compris entre l'axe longitudinal de l'un des logements 8 et 9 et le bord de la mâchoire où le logement 9 est implanté. Cet angle aigu β est compris entre 42 et 50" pour le rouleau 6 d'une des branches 4 le plus proche du fond de ladite mâchoire, ainsi que pour le rouleau 6 de l'autre branche 4 le plus éloigné du fond de la mâchoire. La même réserve est à faire pour ces valeurs d'angle α et β en ce qui concerne la nature des matériaux qui constitue la clé plate.The acute angle β in the same way is between the longitudinal axis of one of the housings 8 and 9 and the edge of the jaw where the housing 9 is located. This acute angle β is between 42 and 50 " for the roller 6 of one of the branches 4 closest to the bottom of said jaw, as well as for the roller 6 of the other branch 4 furthest from the bottom of the jaw The same reservation must be made for these angle values α and β with regard to the nature of the materials which constitute the flat key.
Comme on le voit bien à la figure 5, l'axe longitudinal de chaque logement 8 ou 9 le plus éloigné du fond de la mâchoire d'une des branches 4 de la fourche 1 est parallèle par rapport à 1 'axe longitudinal du logement 8 ou 9 le plus proche du fond de la mâchoire située sur l'autre branche 4 de ladite fourche 1.As can be seen in Figure 5, the longitudinal axis of each housing 8 or 9 furthest from the bottom of the jaw of one of the legs 4 of the fork 1 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 8 or 9 closest to the bottom of the jaw located on the other branch 4 of said fork 1.
Il est aisé de comprendre qu'il est possible de visser ou de dévisser. Pour passer de la fonction visser à la fonction
dévisser, il suffira de faire pivoter de 180" la clé plate selon son axe longitudinal.It is easy to understand that it is possible to screw or unscrew. To switch from the screw to function unscrew, it will suffice to rotate the wrench 180 "along its longitudinal axis.
Dans les modes de réalisation des figures, le débattement angulaire minimum de la clé plate permettant un retour, lors du vissage ou du dévissage de l'écrou 7, de forme hexagonale, sera de 30* puisque l'arc-boutement pourra se faire sur chacun des six pans dudit écrou 7, voir figure 5, ainsi qu'au niveau de chacune des arêtes formant l'interface entre deux pans adjacents d'un même écrou 7. Il y a donc douze positions possibles. Dans le cas où l'on désire visser ou dévisser un tube, le débattement angulaire sera bien entendu beaucoup plus faible.In the embodiments of the figures, the minimum angular clearance of the flat key allowing a return, during the screwing or unscrewing of the nut 7, of hexagonal shape, will be 30 * since the bracing can be done on each of the hexagon of said nut 7, see FIG. 5, as well as at the level of each of the edges forming the interface between two adjacent panels of the same nut 7. There are therefore twelve possible positions. In the case where it is desired to screw or unscrew a tube, the angular clearance will of course be much lower.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation non représenté sur les figures, l'écartement des branches 3, 4 et/ou 5 de la fourche 1 peut être réglé au moyen d'un dispositif de réglage de type clé à molette.According to another embodiment not shown in the figures, the spacing of the branches 3, 4 and / or 5 of the fork 1 can be adjusted by means of an adjustment device of the adjustable wrench type.
Toujours selon un autre mode de réalisation, chaque rouleau mobile 6 est pourvu de stries sur tout ou partie de ses faces en contact avec l'écrou 7 et/ou avec les faces dudit logement 8 ouStill according to another embodiment, each movable roller 6 is provided with ridges on all or part of its faces in contact with the nut 7 and / or with the faces of said housing 8 or
9, ce qui va permettre encore d'augmenter la force de contact lors de l'arc-boutement.9, which will further increase the contact force during bracing.
Il est également possible d'avoir des logements 20 contenant des galets 15.It is also possible to have housings 20 containing rollers 15.
Que ce soit des rouleaux 6 ou des galets 15, les logements 8, 9 ou 20 ne permettent pas l'arc-boutement mais simplement le bon guidage des pans de l'écrou 7 lors de la manipulation de la clé plate à commande de rotation alternative.Whether it is rollers 6 or rollers 15, the housings 8, 9 or 20 do not allow the bracing but simply the correct guiding of the sides of the nut 7 when handling the flat wrench with rotation control alternative.
Bien entendu, ce principe d'arc-boutement pourrait être utilisé dans d'autres domaines mécaniques sans pour autant sortir du domaine de l'invention.
