Description

L'invention concerne l'encadrement et se rapporte plus précisément à un magasin approprié pour pousser des agrafes et les positionner une à une sur une agrafeuse manuelle.The invention relates to framing and relates to specifically to a store suitable for pushing staples and position them one by one on a stapler manual.

Il existe des agrafeuses de maniement simple qui permettent à un utilisateur de mettre en place manuellement des agrafes profilées dans des baguettes d'encadrement. Dans un appareil connu, le marteau permettant de faire pénétrer l'agrafe dans le bois dispose à sa surface d'un organe de guidage en forme de plot, habituellement cylindrique, qui est aimanté et peut ainsi retenir une agrafe positionnée contre lui jusqu'à ce que l'outil soit présenté en bonne place sur la baguette avant le cloutage de l'agrafe. Celle-ci avantageusement profilée en V doit donc être mise en place sur l'agrafeuse, dans le bon sens c'est-à-dire l'affûtage orienté vers l'extérieur, et il est bien évident qu'aucun des chargeurs d'agrafes tel que décrits par exemple dans le FR-A-2747604, le EP-A-0521724 ou le US-A-4378065, et qui sont prévus pour une distribution vers une machine d'agrafage automatique, ne peut convenir pour alimenter cet outil manuel.There are easy-to-use staplers that allow a user to set up manually staples profiled in rods framing. In a known device, the hammer allowing the staple to penetrate into the wood has on its surface of a stud-shaped guide member, usually cylindrical, which is magnetic and can thus hold a staple positioned against it until the tool is presented in a good place on the front strip nailing the staple. Advantageously profiled in V must therefore be placed on the stapler, in the common sense, i.e. outward-facing sharpening, and obviously none of the staple loaders as described for example in FR-A-2747604, the EP-A-0521724 or US-A-4378065, and which are intended for a distribution to an automatic stapling machine, do not may be suitable to power this hand tool.

L'invention résout ce problème en proposant un magasin pousse agrafes pour agrafeuse manuelle de cadre disposant d'un marteau portant un organe de guidage en forme de plot aimanté pour retenir une agrafe positionnée contre lui, ledit magasin étant en forme de tiroir allongé et fermé dont une face est percée d'une ouverture longitudinale et dont une extrémité est ouverte par une fenêtre en bout du tiroir, ledit tiroir renfermant un poussoir coulissant manoeuvré par un bouton pour le déplacement des agrafes accolées et la présentation d'une agrafe sur le marteau par la fenêtre en bout du tiroir. Un dispositif de retenue élastique du poussoir coulissant dans le tiroir est constitué d'au moins une languette rapportée à la hauteur d'au moins un rail cranté s'étendant parallèlement à la face du magasin pour l'avance pas à pas des agrafes. The invention solves this problem by proposing a magazine pushes staples for manual frame stapler having a hammer carrying a guide member in magnetic stud shape to hold a positioned staple against him, said store being in the form of an elongated drawer and closed with one side pierced with an opening longitudinal and one end of which is opened by a window at the end of the drawer, said drawer containing a sliding push button operated by a button for moving the staples side by side and presenting a staple on the hammer through the window at the end of the drawer. A elastic retaining device of the sliding pusher in the drawer consists of at least one tab attached to the height of at least one notched rail extending parallel to the face from the store for the step-by-step advance of the staples.

Selon des caractéristiques constructives de l'invention, la fenêtre est rectangulaire et encadrée de rebords verticaux formant un guide pour les ailes latérales d'une agrafe, tandis que le poussoir porte une tête profilée ayant deux arêtes de section triangulaire avec un profil correspondant à celui d'une agrafe et de ses ailes latérales. Le bouton est monté sur des entretoises coulissant dans une ouverture longitudinale du magasin, entretoises qui s'accrochent à des nervures rapportées de part et d'autre du corps central du poussoir.According to constructive features of the invention, the window is rectangular and framed by vertical edges forming a guide for the side wings of a staple, while the pusher carries a profiled head having two section edges triangular with a profile corresponding to that of a staple and of its side wings. The button is mounted on spacers sliding in a longitudinal opening of the magazine, spacers which cling to ribs on either side of the central body of the pusher.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, les languettes du dispositif de retenue élastique du poussoir coulissant sont rapportées de chaque côté de la tête du poussoir, et de rails crantés qui s'étendent sur les flancs latéraux du magasin, les languettes étant équipées de pointes qui coopèrent avec des creux situés entre des dents prévues sur les rails crantés.According to another particular characteristic of the invention, the tabs of the elastic pusher retainer sliding are attached to each side of the pusher head, and notched rails which extend on the lateral sides of the magazine, the tongues being fitted with spikes which cooperate with hollow located between teeth provided on the notched rails.

Avantageusement les dents sont délimitées par une face avant, en direction de la fenêtre du magasin, perpendiculaire aux flancs du magasin, et de l'autre côté par une face arrière inclinés d'un angle d'environ 45°.Advantageously, the teeth are delimited by a front face, towards the store window, perpendicular to the sides of the store, and on the other side by a rear face inclined at an angle about 45 °.

A l'inverse, les pointes sont délimitées vers l'avant par une face inclinée et vers l'arrière par une face perpendiculaire au corps central du poussoir.Conversely, the points are delimited towards the front by a inclined side and backwards by a side perpendicular to the central body of the pusher.

D'autres caractéristiques particulières et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation dans lequel il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent :

  • Figure 1, une vue écorchée en perspective du magasin pousse agrafe.
  • Figure 2, une vue en perpective du tiroir formant le magasin.
  • Figure 3, une vue partielle en coupe à plus grande échelle d'un rail cranté.
  • Figures 4 et 5, des vues respectivement en perspective et de dessus du poussoir.

  • Figure 7, une vue en perspective d'une agrafeuse manuelle.
  • Figures 8 et 9, des vues en perspective du magasin et de l'agrafeuse manuelle, respectivement en position de présentation de l'agrafe et de retrait du magasin.
    • Other particular characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows of an exemplary embodiment in which reference is made to the appended drawings which represent:
  • Figure 1, a cutaway perspective view of the store pushes staple.
  • Figure 2, a perspective view of the drawer forming the store.
  • Figure 3, a partial sectional view on a larger scale of a notched rail.
  • Figures 4 and 5, respectively perspective and top views of the pusher.
  • Figure 6, a sectional view on a larger scale of a tab of the pusher.
  • Figure 7 is a perspective view of a manual stapler.
  • Figures 8 and 9, perspective views of the magazine and the manual stapler, respectively in the position of presentation of the clip and withdrawal of the magazine.

    • On a représenté à la figure 1 un magasin pousse agrafe désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1, dans lequel se déplace un poussoir coulissant désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 2.We have shown in Figure 1 a store grows clip designated as a whole by the reference 1, in which moves a sliding pusher designated in its together by reference 2.

    En se reportant également à la figure 2, on voit que le magasin 1 se présente comme un tiroir allongé et fermé dont une face 12 est percée d'une ouverture longitudinale 10 et dont une extrémité (en avant sur la figure 2) est ouverte par une fenêtre rectangulaire 11, en bout du tiroir. Entre l'ouverture 10 et la fenêtre 11, la face 12 porte une découpe 13 en forme de V dont le profil correspond au profil d'une agrafe 3. Cette découpe est située du côté de la sortie de l'agrafe hors du magasin, au-dessus de la fenêtre 11. La fenêtre est encadrée de deux rebords verticaux 14 qui forment un guide pour les ailes latérales 4 de l'agrafe 3 comme cela apparaít plus clairement à la figure 1. L'épaisseur de ce guide, c'est-à-dire la distance séparant le rebord vertical 14 de la partie de la découpe 13 qui se trouve en face de lui, correspond sensiblement à l'épaisseur d'une agrafe. Ainsi il n'est pas possible que deux agrafes accolées puissent sortir simultanément du magasin.Referring also to FIG. 2, it can be seen that tray 1 looks like an elongated, closed drawer one face 12 of which has a longitudinal opening 10 and one end of which (in front of FIG. 2) is open by a rectangular window 11, at the end of the drawer. Between the opening 10 and the window 11, the face 12 carries a V-shaped cutout 13 whose profile corresponds to the profile of a clip 3. This cut is located on the staple outlet side outside the store, above window 11. The window is framed by two vertical edges 14 which form a guide for the side wings 4 of the clip 3 as it appears more clearly in Figure 1. The thickness of this guide, ie the distance between the vertical edge 14 of the part of the blank 13 which is in front of it, roughly corresponds to the thickness of a staple. So it is not possible that two staples joined together can exit the store simultaneously.

    Les deux flancs latéraux 15 du magasin sont pourvus intérieurement de rails crantés 16 s'étendant parallèlement à la face 12 sur toute la longueur du magasin. Selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, les rails crantés sont prévus un peu plus haut que ceux visibles aux figures 1 et 2, plus précisément sur les bordures longitudinales de l'ouverture 10, au niveau de la face 12.The two lateral sides 15 of the magazine are provided internally of notched rails 16 extending parallel to face 12 over the entire length of the shop. According to an alternative embodiment not shown, the notched rails are provided a little more higher than those visible in Figures 1 and 2, more precisely on the longitudinal edges of opening 10, at face 12.

    La figure 3 montre la forme du crantage des rails, constitué d'une succession de dents 17 délimitées d'un côté par une face avant 18, en direction de la fenêtre 11, qui est perpendiculaire au plan des flancs 15 du magasin, et de l'autre côté par une face arrière 19 inclinée d'un angle d'environ 45° vers l'arrière. FIG. 3 shows the shape of the notching of the rails, consisting of a succession of teeth 17 delimited by a side by a front face 18, towards window 11, which is perpendicular to the plane of the sides 15 of the store, and on the other side by a rear face 19 inclined by angle of about 45 ° backwards.

    Le poussoir 2 montré aussi aux figures 4 et 5 est constitué d'un corps central 20 portant à l'arrière, c'est-à-dire du côté opposé à la fenêtre 11, deux ailerons de guidage 21 prenant appui sur les flancs 15 du magasin. Du côté avant le corps central porte une tête profilée 22 avec deux arêtes verticales 23 de section triangulaire ayant un profil correspondant à celui d'une agrafe 3 et de ses ailes latérales 4. De chaque côté de la tête 22 est rapporté, au niveau du rail cranté 15 du magasin, une languette 24 équipée de deux pointes 25 plus clairement visibles à la figure 6. A l'inverse des dents 17 du rail cranté, les pointes 25 sont délimitées vers l'avant par une face inclinée 26 et vers l'arrière par une face 27 perpendiculaire au corps central 20 du poussoir. Les languettes 24 coopèrent avec les creux situés entre les dents 17 des rails crantés et constituent ainsi un dispositif de retenue élastique du poussoir coulissant dans le tiroir, pour l'avance pas à pas des agrafes. On a prévu que la distance entre les extrémités de deux dents successives est supérieure à l'épaisseur d'une agrafe.The pusher 2 also shown in Figures 4 and 5 is consisting of a central body 20 bearing at the rear, that is to say on the side opposite window 11, two fins guide 21 bearing on the sides 15 of the magazine. On the front side the central body carries a profiled head 22 with two vertical edges 23 of triangular section having a profile corresponding to that of a clip 3 and its lateral wings 4. On each side of the head 22 is reported, at the notched rail 15 of the store, a tongue 24 fitted with two tips 25 more clearly visible in Figure 6. Unlike the teeth 17 of the rail notched, the points 25 are delimited towards the front by an inclined face 26 and towards the rear by a face 27 perpendicular to the central body 20 of the pusher. The tabs 24 cooperate with the recesses located between the teeth 17 of the notched rails and thus constitute a elastic retainer of the sliding plunger in the drawer for the step-by-step advance of the staples. We have expected that the distance between the ends of two teeth successive is greater than the thickness of a staple.

    Enfin on notera que l'on a rapporté de part et d'autre du corps central, une nervure 28 servant à l'accrochage du bouton de manoeuvre 29 visible à la figure 1. Ce bouton 29, à surface nervurée est monté sur deux entretoises 30 grâce auxquelles il vient s'accrocher aux nervures 28 du poussoir, les entretoises présentant une certaine élasticité et étant creusées d'une rainure pour leur encliquetage sur lesdites nervures. Le bouton permet de faire coulisser aisément le poussoir à l'intérieur du magasin, ses ailes 30 se déplaçant dans l'ouverture 10 du tiroir dont les bords lui servent de guide.Finally we note that we reported on both sides and on the other side of the central body, a rib 28 serving to the attachment of the operating button 29 visible at the Figure 1. This button 29, with ribbed surface is mounted on two spacers 30 thanks to which it comes to hang to the ribs 28 of the pusher, the spacers having some elasticity and being hollowed out with a groove for their snap-fastening on said ribs. The button allows the pusher to slide easily inside the store, its wings 30 moving in the opening 10 of the drawer whose edges serve it guide.

    Le magasin ainsi décrit est utilisable pour la mise en place d'agrafes sur une agrafeuse manuelle 5 montrée à la figure 7. Il faut en effet placer une agrafe 3 contre un plot aimanté 6 qui déborde d'une surface plane 7, de telle sorte que l'agrafe soit maintenue sur l'outil comme représentée, biseautage vers le haut.The store thus described can be used for placing in place of staples on a manual stapler 5 shown at Figure 7. It is indeed necessary to place a staple 3 against a magnetic stud 6 which projects from a flat surface 7, so that the clip is held on the tool as shown, bevel up.

    Les agrafes accolées, mais non liées les unes aux autres, sont disposées dans le magasin, leur partie affûtée se trouvant au fond, du côté opposé au bouton 29. On voit à la figure 8 qu'on présente le magasin 1 contre l'agrafeuse de façon que la première agrafe apparaissant à la fenêtre 11 soit appliquée contre le plot 6, perpendiculairement à la surface 7. L'utilisateur déplace alors le magasin vers le haut, dans le sens de la flèche, comme indiqué à la figure 9, et l'agrafe reste en position sur l'outil.Staples attached, but not tied to each other others, are arranged in the store, their part sharpened at the bottom, on the side opposite the button 29. We see in Figure 8 that we show the store 1 against stapler so that the first staple appearing at the window 11 is applied against the pad 6, perpendicular to the surface 7. The user moves then the store up, in the direction of the arrow, as shown in figure 9, and the clip remains in position on the tool.

    Grâce au bouton 29, on fait avancer le paquet d'agrafes en direction de l'ouverture du magasin, l'avance pas à pas des agrafes se faisant grâce aux languettes élastiques 24 qui échappent aux dents 17 du rail cranté correspondant 16 et se calent successivement contre la dent suivante.Un faible jeu étant prévu entre une agrafe et les deux dents 17 qui l'encadrent, puisque celles-ci sont écartées d'une distance supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'agrafe, cela favorise leur sortie hors du magasin à chaque avancée du poussoir. Eventuellement un lubrifiant peut être appliqué sur les rails et dans le magasin pour faciliter le déplacement des agrafes.With button 29, the package is advanced staples toward the store opening, advance staples step by step using the tabs elastics 24 which escape the teeth 17 of the notched rail corresponding 16 and wedge successively against the next tooth. There is little play between a staple and the two teeth 17 which surround it, since these are spaced apart by a distance greater than the thickness of the clip, this favors their exit from the store at each advance of the pusher. Possibly a lubricant can be applied on rails and in the store to facilitate the movement of staples.
