Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs permettant d'assembler ou de retenir de façon temporaire des documents en feuilles tels que des feuilles de papier, des feuilles de mémo, permettant l'insertion et l'enlèvement d'une ou plusieurs feuilles.The present invention relates to devices allowing temporarily assemble or retain documents in sheets such as sheets of paper, memo sheets, allowing the insertion and removal of one or more sheets.

On connaít déjà divers types d'attaches permettant d'associer plusieurs feuilles les unes aux autres, et notamment des trombones, des épingles, des pinces. Ces moyens ne sont toutefois pas adaptés à une fixation sur un mur, une table, ou tout autre élément auquel les feuilles doivent être fixées temporairement.We already know various types of fasteners allowing to associate several sheets with each other, and in particular paper clips, pins, pliers. However, these means are not not suitable for fixing to a wall, table, or any other element to which the sheets are to be temporarily attached.

On connaít également, du document EP 0 438 895 A, une pince pour documents comprenant une première plaque et une seconde plaque s'étendant parallèlement à la première plaque dont elle est écartée d'un espace déterminé d'insertion de documents et à laquelle elle est reliée selon une extrémité de liaison pour former une structure généralement en forme de U. Un premier groupe de poils élastiques de retenue font saillie sur une surface intérieure de la première plaque en direction de la seconde plaque avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison. Un second groupe de poils élastiques de retenue font saillie sur une surface intérieure de la seconde plaque vers la première plaque avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison. Les documents en feuilles peuvent être insérés dans l'espace d'insertion, par un déplacement de translation longitudinale qui produit la flexion des poils de retenue en les repoussant vers l'extrémité de liaison. Lors du retrait des feuilles par une traction axiale, les poils fléchissent dans l'autre direction, à l'écart de l'extrémité de liaison, et libèrent les feuilles lorsqu'ils ont dépassé l'orientation perpendiculaire aux plaques. Il est également possible de retirer les feuilles par une translation latérale. Après retrait des feuilles, les poils reprennent sensiblement leur position d'origine inclinée vers l'extrémité de liaison. Un tel dispositif donne une relative satisfaction, mais présente l'inconvénient d'une retenue souvent insuffisante des documents en feuilles à l'encontre d'une traction longitudinale d'extraction à l'écart de l'extrémité de liaison. Il n'apparaít pas possible de trouver un bon compromis entre une bonne retenue des feuilles à l'encontre d'un effort d'extraction longitudinal, une bonne facilité d'introduction des feuilles à l'encontre de l'effort de rappel des poils élastiques, et un retour suffisant des poils élastiques vers leur position de repos après un retournement des poils par traction longitudinale exercée sur les documents en feuilles.We also know from EP 0 438 895 A, a document clamp comprising a first plate and a second plate extending parallel to the first plate of which it is removed from a specific document insertion space and which it is connected at a connecting end to form a generally U-shaped structure. A first group of elastic retaining bristles protrude from an inner surface from the first plate towards the second plate with a angle of inclination towards the connection end. A second group elastic retaining bristles protrude from a surface interior of the second plate towards the first plate with a angle of inclination towards the connection end. Documents in sheets can be inserted into the insertion space, by a longitudinal translational displacement which produces the bending of retaining bristles by pushing them towards the connecting end. When removing leaves by axial pull, the hairs flex in the other direction away from the end of bond, and release the sheets when they have passed the orientation perpendicular to the plates. he is also sheets can be removed by lateral translation. After removal of the leaves, the hairs substantially resume their original position inclined towards the connection end. Such device gives relative satisfaction, but present the disadvantage of often insufficient retention of documents in sheets against a longitudinal pull extraction at away from the connecting end. It does not appear possible to find a good compromise between good retention of leaves against a longitudinal extraction effort, good ease of inserting the leaves against the effort of recall of elastic bristles, and sufficient return of bristles elastic to their rest position after turning the hairs by longitudinal traction exerted on documents in leaves.

Le problème proposé par la présente invention est ainsi de concevoir une structure de pince pour document du type de celle décrite dans le document EP 0 438 895 A, présentant à la fois une meilleure force de retenue des feuilles à l'encontre d'un effort d'extraction longitudinale des feuilles, assurant un bon retour des éléments élastiques vers leur position de repos après extraction des feuilles dans le sens longitudinal, et assurant une grande facilité et douceur d'introduction des documents en feuilles par translation d'introduction longitudinale.The problem proposed by the present invention is thus to design a document clamp structure of the type described in document EP 0 438 895 A, presenting both better leaf retaining force against effort longitudinal leaf extraction, ensuring good return of elastic elements to their rest position after extraction sheets in the longitudinal direction, and ensuring a large ease and smoothness of introducing sheet documents by longitudinal introduction translation.

On cherche à réaliser ainsi une pince pour documents présentant une meilleure fiabilité de retenue des feuilles tout en assurant une grande douceur d'utilisation.We are looking to make a document clip having better reliability of retaining sheets while ensuring a great softness of use.

Pour atteindre ces objets ainsi que d'autres, l'invention prévoit une pince pour documents, comprenant :

  • une première plaque,
  • une seconde plaque, s'étendant parallèlement à la première plaque, dont elle est écartée d'un espace d'insertion de documents, et à laquelle elle est reliée selon une extrémité de liaison pour former une structure générale en forme de U,
  • un premier groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue faisant saillie sur une surface intérieure de la première plaque en direction de la seconde plaque avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison,
  • un second groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue faisant saillie sur une surface intérieure de la seconde plaque en direction de la première plaque avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison ;
   selon l'invention les premier et second groupes d'éléments élastiques de retenue sont des lames transversales élastiquement flexibles. To achieve these and other objects, the invention provides a clamp for documents, comprising:
  • a first plate,
  • a second plate, extending parallel to the first plate, from which it is spaced from a document insertion space, and to which it is connected according to a connection end to form a general U-shaped structure,
  • a first group of elastic retaining elements projecting on an inner surface of the first plate in the direction of the second plate with an angle of inclination towards the connection end,
  • a second group of elastic retaining members projecting from an inner surface of the second plate towards the first plate with an angle of inclination towards the connecting end;
according to the invention the first and second groups of elastic retaining elements are elastically flexible transverse blades.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les lames transversales sont, au repos, inclinées d'un angle compris entre 50° et 60°, avantageusement de 55° environ.According to a preferred embodiment, the blades transverse are, at rest, inclined at an angle between 50 ° and 60 °, preferably around 55 °.

Dans une réalisation pratique, les lames transversales ont une épaisseur de 1 mm environ. Elles peuvent avoir une longueur de 5 mm environ.In a practical embodiment, the transverse blades have a thickness of about 1 mm. They can have a length of 5 mm approximately.

De préférence, les lames transversales ont leur extrémité libre coupée en biseau, définissant une facette d'extrémité sensiblement parallèle aux plaques.Preferably, the transverse blades have their ends free bevel cut, defining an end facet substantially parallel to the plates.

On peut concevoir des lames transversales dont l'extrémité libre est rectiligne.We can design transverse blades whose end free is straight.

Toutefois, de meilleurs résultats sont obtenus en prévoyant que l'extrémité libre des lames transversales comporte des entailles longitudinales réparties selon la largeur de la pince.However, better results are obtained in providing that the free end of the transverse blades has longitudinal notches distributed along the width of the clamp.

Les lames transversales peuvent avantageusement être solidaires d'une base fixée à la surface intérieure de la plaque correspondante, par exemple par collage.The transverse blades can advantageously be integral with a base fixed to the inner surface of the plate corresponding, for example by gluing.

Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of particular embodiments, given in relation to the attached figures, among which:
  • Figure 1 is a top view of a document clip according to a first embodiment of the invention;

  • Figure 12 is a side view showing the two plates before assembly; and
  • Figure 13 is a perspective view illustrating the use of the document clamp according to the invention.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8, la pince pour documents selon l'invention comprend une première plaque 1, par exemple de forme générale rectangulaire à coins arrondis comme on le voit sur la figure 1, et une seconde plaque 2 qui s'étend parallèlement à la première plaque 1 et qui en est écartée d'un espace d'insertion de documents 3. La seconde plaque 2 est reliée à la première plaque 1 selon une extrémité de liaison 4 pour former, en vue de côté, une structure générale en forme de U.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8, the clamp for documents according to the invention comprises a first plate 1, for example of generally rectangular shape with rounded corners as seen in Figure 1, and a second plate 2 which extends parallel to the first plate 1 and which is separated from it by one document insertion space 3. The second plate 2 is connected to the first plate 1 along a connection end 4 to form, in side view, a general U-shaped structure.

Ainsi, en vue de côté sur la figure 3, l'espace d'insertion de documents 3 est limité par les deux plaques 1 et 2, et par l'extrémité de liaison 4, en conservant une ouverture d'insertion longitudinale 5 (figure 3) et deux ouvertures d'insertion transversales 6 et 7 (figure 2).Thus, in side view in Figure 3, the space insertion of documents 3 is limited by the two plates 1 and 2, and by the connecting end 4, keeping an opening longitudinal insertion 5 (Figure 3) and two openings of transverse insertion 6 and 7 (figure 2).

Un premier groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue 8 fait saillie sur une surface intérieure 9 de la première plaque 1 en direction de la seconde plaque 2, avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison 4. De même, un second groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue 10 fait saillie sur une surface intérieure 11 de la seconde plaque 2 en direction de la première plaque 1 avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'extrémité de liaison 4.A first group of elastic retaining elements 8 makes protrusion on an inner surface 9 of the first plate 1 in direction of the second plate 2, with an angle of inclination towards the connecting end 4. Similarly, a second group of elements retaining elastic 10 protrudes from an interior surface 11 from the second plate 2 towards the first plate 1 with a angle of inclination towards the connecting end 4.

Au voisinage de l'ouverture d'insertion longitudinale 5, les plaques 1 et 2 comportent des facettes inclinées respectives 12 et 13 en regard l'une de l'autre, constituant une ouverture évasée facilitant l'introduction des documents en feuilles lors d'une insertion longitudinale. De même, comme on le voit sur les figures 1, 3 et 4, la première plaque 1 est légèrement plus longue que la seconde plaque 2, et présente ainsi une lèvre antérieure 14 plus longue.In the vicinity of the longitudinal insertion opening 5, plates 1 and 2 have respective inclined facets 12 and 13 facing each other, constituting a flared opening facilitating the introduction of sheet documents during a longitudinal insertion. Similarly, as seen in the figures 1, 3 and 4, the first plate 1 is slightly longer than the second plate 2, and thus has an anterior lip 14 plus long.

Les groupes d'éléments élastiques de retenue 8 et 10 sont constitués de lames transversales solidaires d'une base. Ainsi, comme on le voit plus clairement sur les figures 4 et 6 à 8, le premier groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue 8 est composé d'une base 15 rectangulaire à laquelle sont fixées six lames transversales 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e et 16f, généralement parallèles les unes aux autres, et inclinées par rapport à la base 15 selon un angle A compris entre 50° et 60° environ, avantageusement de 55° environ. Les lames transversales 16a-16f ont une épaisseur de 1 mm environ.The groups of elastic retaining elements 8 and 10 are made up of transverse blades integral with a base. So, as seen more clearly in Figures 4 and 6 to 8, the first group of elastic retaining elements 8 is composed of a rectangular base 15 to which six blades are attached transverse 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16th and 16f, generally parallel to each other, and inclined relative to the base 15 at an angle A of between approximately 50 ° and 60 °, advantageously around 55 °. The transverse blades 16a-16f have a thickness of about 1 mm.

De même, les lames transversales 16a-16f peuvent avantageusement avoir une longueur de 5 mm environ, dans les conditions habituelles de pinces pour documents destinées à retenir une quinzaine de feuilles.Similarly, the transverse blades 16a-16f can advantageously have a length of about 5 mm, within usual conditions of clamps for documents intended to retain fifteen sheets.

Chaque base telle que la base 15 est collée dans un évidement correspondant prévu sur la surface intérieure 9 de la première plaque 1 (ou de la seconde plaque 2).Each base such as base 15 is glued in a corresponding recess provided on the inner surface 9 of the first plate 1 (or second plate 2).

Dans la réalisation illustrée en coupe longitudinale sur la figure 4, lorsque le dispositif est au repos, les extrémités libres des lames transversales 16a-16f associées à la première plaque 1 viennent juste en appui élastique sur les extrémités libres des lames transversales correspondantes du second groupe d'éléments élastiques de retenue 10 de la seconde plaque 2.In the embodiment illustrated in longitudinal section on Figure 4, when the device is at rest, the ends free of the transverse blades 16a-16f associated with the first plate 1 just come into elastic support on the ends free of the corresponding transverse blades of the second group elastic retaining elements 10 of the second plate 2.

Les lames transversales, comme par exemple la lame transversale 16a sur la figure 7, ont leur extrémité libre 16a1 coupée en biseau, définissant une facette d'extrémité sensiblement parallèle aux plaques 1 ou 2. On notera que cette disposition maximise la surface de contact des lames transversales sur un document en feuilles inséré dans la pince.Cross blades, such as the blade transverse 16a in FIG. 7, have their free end 16a1 cut at a bevel, defining an end facet substantially parallel to plates 1 or 2. Note that this arrangement maximizes the contact surface of the transverse blades on a sheet document inserted in the clip.

Les plaques 1 et 2 peuvent être en une matière plastique rigide telle que l'ABS, par exemple réalisées par moulage.Plates 1 and 2 can be made of plastic rigid such as ABS, for example produced by molding.

Par contre, les lames transversales 16a-16f sont en un élastomère élastique, autorisant leur flexion élastique lors de l'introduction d'une feuille dans l'espace d'insertion de documents 3. On the other hand, the transverse blades 16a-16f are in one elastic elastomer, allowing their elastic bending during inserting a sheet into the document insertion space 3.

De bons résultats sont obtenus en réalisant les lames transversales 16a-16f en un élastomère élastique tel que le TPE SANTOPRENE.Good results are obtained by making the blades transverse 16a-16f into an elastic elastomer such as TPE SANTOPRENE.

Les lames transversales 16a-16f sont avantageusement moulées d'une seule pièce avec la base 15 correspondante.The transverse blades 16a-16f are advantageously molded in one piece with the corresponding base 15.

Les deux plaques 1 et 2 peuvent être solidarisées l'une à l'autre par encliquetage. On prévoit par exemple dans l'extrémité de liaison 4, comme illustré sur la figure 5, un moyen d'encliquetage femelle 1a sur la première plaque 1 coopérant avec un moyen d'encliquetage mâle 2a sur la seconde plaque 2, avec des faces correspondantes d'appui 1b et 2b qui viennent en appui l'une sur l'autre lorsque les deux plaques 1 et 2 sont encliquetées l'une à l'autre selon leur extrémité de liaison 4.The two plates 1 and 2 can be secured one to the other by snap-fastening. We plan for example in the end connection 4, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a means female latching 1a on the first plate 1 cooperating with a male latching means 2a on the second plate 2, with corresponding bearing faces 1b and 2b which bear one on the other when the two plates 1 and 2 are snapped one to the other according to their connection end 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 6 et 7, les lames transversales 16a-16f ont une facette d'extrémité continue, formant une arête d'extrémité rectiligne.In the embodiment of Figures 6 and 7, the blades transverse 16a-16f have a continuous end facet, forming a straight end edge.

Dans le mode de réalisation avantageux illustré sur la figure 8, l'extrémité libre 16a1 de la lame transversale 16a comporte des entailles longitudinales telles que l'entaille 16a2, réparties selon la largeur de la pince. On améliore ainsi l'adhérence des lames transversales sur une feuille engagée dans la pince.In the advantageous embodiment illustrated in the Figure 8, the free end 16a1 of the transverse blade 16a has longitudinal notches such as the notch 16a2, distributed according to the width of the clamp. We thus improve the adhesion of the transverse blades on a sheet engaged in the clamp.

Le mode de réalisation des figures 9 à 12 reprend les mêmes éléments que le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8, en ajoutant un dispositif d'encliquetage de crayons ou stylos. Les éléments qui se retrouvent dans l'un et l'autre des modes de réalisation sont repérés par les mêmes références numériques, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de les décrire à nouveau.The embodiment of Figures 9 to 12 shows the same elements as the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 8, in adding a clip-on device for pencils or pens. The elements that are found in both modes of are identified by the same reference numbers, from so there is no need to describe them again.

La seule différence de ce second mode de réalisation est la présence d'un dispositif d'encliquetage de crayon ou stylo 17, prévu sur la face postérieure 18 de l'extrémité de liaison 4. Le dispositif d'encliquetage de crayon ou stylo 17 peut par exemple être un profilé en C, ouvert à l'arrière selon une ouverture 19, et présentant une élasticité appropriée pour s'écarter radialement lors de l'introduction d'un crayon ou stylo par l'ouverture 19 postérieure et pour retenir ainsi le crayon ou stylo après introduction. The only difference from this second embodiment is the presence of a pencil or pen latching device 17, provided on the rear face 18 of the connection end 4. The pencil or pen 17 can for example be a C-profile, open at the rear through an opening 19, and having suitable elasticity to deviate radially when introducing a pencil or pen through the opening 19 posterior and to hold the pencil or pen afterwards introduction.

Dans l'un et l'autre des modes de réalisation, la première plaque 1 peut avantageusement comporter, sur sa surface externe 20, une surface adhésive 21 permettant sa fixation sur un élément fixe tel que murs, tables ou autres. De préférence, on prévoit une surface adhésive 21 de type repositionnable, réalisée par une couche appropriée d'adhésif repositionnable.In either embodiment, the first plate 1 can advantageously include, on its external surface 20, an adhesive surface 21 allowing its attachment to a fixed element such as walls, tables or others. Preferably, a adhesive surface 21 of repositionable type, produced by a appropriate layer of repositionable adhesive.

Le fonctionnement de la pince selon l'invention est illustré sur la figure 13. On peut engager un document en forme de feuille 22 par translation longitudinale 23 entre les plaques 1 et 2. Lors de cette translation, si l'on se réfère par exemple à la figure 4, le document en feuilles repousse élastiquement les lames élastiques des groupes d'éléments élastiques de retenue 8 et 10 vers l'extrémité de liaison 4, les lames élastiques restant en appui sur les deux faces du document en feuilles. Ensuite, si une traction est exercée sur le document en feuilles pour son extraction longitudinale dans le sens inverse de la flèche 23, les extrémités libres des lames transversales adhérent aux deux faces de la feuille, et plus on tire sur la feuille plus les facettes d'extrémité libre des lames transversales viennent en appui de forte intensité sur les faces opposées du document en forme de feuille. Grâce à la forme en lame transversale, les groupes d'éléments élastiques de retenue assurent une force de retenue de forte intensité. Il est néanmoins possible, par une traction suffisamment forte sur la feuille, de retirer la feuille dans le sens inverse de la flèche 23 par translation longitudinale, sans dégrader les groupes d'éléments élastiques de retenue 8 et 10. Ceux-ci fléchissent à l'opposé de l'extrémité de liaison 4, puis reprennent leur position de repos après extraction de la feuille.The operation of the clamp according to the invention is illustrated in figure 13. You can hire a document in the form of sheet 22 by longitudinal translation 23 between the plates 1 and 2. During this translation, if we refer for example to the Figure 4, the document in sheets resiliently repels the blades elastic groups of elastic retaining elements 8 and 10 towards the connecting end 4, the elastic blades remaining in press on both sides of the sheet document. Then, if a traction is exerted on the sheet document for its longitudinal extraction in the opposite direction to arrow 23, the free ends of the transverse blades adhering to both sides of the sheet, and the more we pull on the sheet the more the facets free end of the transverse blades bear against high intensity on the opposite sides of the document in the form of leaf. Thanks to the transverse blade shape, the groups elastic retaining elements provide a retaining force of high intensity. It is nevertheless possible, by pulling strong enough on the sheet, remove the sheet in the opposite direction of arrow 23 by longitudinal translation, without degrade the groups of elastic retaining elements 8 and 10. These flex away from the connecting end 4, then return to their rest position after extracting the sheet.

Il est également possible de retirer les feuilles 22 par une translation transversale 24 telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 13.It is also possible to remove the sheets 22 by a transverse translation 24 as illustrated in the figure 13.

Il est aussi possible de retirer les feuilles par une translation selon une direction intermédiaire entre la direction longitudinale 23 et la direction transversale 24.It is also possible to remove the sheets by a translation in a direction intermediate between the direction longitudinal 23 and transverse direction 24.

Une fois les documents insérés dans la pince selon l'invention, ils sont maintenus très fermement. Once the documents have been inserted into the clamp according to invention, they are held very firmly.

Malgré cette force de retenue intense, l'insertion et le retrait des documents peuvent être effectués par une simple action, d'une seule main.Despite this intense restraining force, the insertion and removal of documents can be done by a simple action, with one hand.

La pince selon l'invention n'abíme pas les documents, et ne laisse aucune trace, ni sur les documents, ni sur les surfaces choisies destinées à recevoir la pince.The clamp according to the invention does not damage documents, and leaves no trace, neither on documents nor on surfaces chosen to receive the clamp.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui ont été explicitement décrits, mais elle en inclut les dïverses variantes et généralisations contenues dans le domaine des revendications ci-après.The present invention is not limited to the modes of which have been explicitly described, but it includes the different variants and generalizations contained in the field of the claims below.
