Definitions

  • the invention relates to a magnetic device for multiple use which we hereinafter call a magnetic half-clamp for immobilizing an object on a magnetic surface or constituting a clamp for grasping an object or exerting a clamping force, according to the preamble of claim 1,
  • Magnetic surface means the surface of an object which is subjected to a magnetic force under the effect of a dipole magnetic source.
  • objects made of ferro-magnetic materials are part of these objects which we call the magnetic surface surface, ie surface on which a magnet can be glued by magnetic attraction.
  • magnetic device a device comprising magnetic materials distributed or traversed by an electric current so as to create a magnetic field characterized by the appearance of North and South poles on at least one of the surfaces of the device. We call, subsequently, such a surface of the magnetic surface device.
  • the attachment of parts, sheets, fabrics or objects on a worktop is traditionally performed using fasteners integrated in the work plan.
  • the work plan must be arranged to receive them (opening, projection, grooves for fixing the fastening means to the work plan).
  • the attachment points are therefore integrated in the work plan. Their position is predefined and fixed except to implement complex rail devices or sliding systems to fix a room anywhere on the worktop. These devices are then complex to to implement, especially on large work plans.
  • fasteners based on permanent magnets are not widespread. It is limited to the use of low-intensity magnets (for example on "magnetic" boards) because of the difficulty of taking off or correctly positioning a magnet of greater intensity on a work surface.
  • the strong permanent magnets also cause stresses during their transport because of the permanence of the magnetic field and the attraction force resulting therefrom.
  • the present invention overcomes these disadvantages.
  • the invention relates to a device according to claim 1.
  • the device of the invention which we call a magnetized half-clamp, consists of a magnetized surface (1), a lever arm (2) and a pivot line ( 3) located between the magnetized surface and the lever arm.
  • the magnetic surface of the magnetic half-gripper is intended to be brought into full or partial contact with a work plane or a partially or totally magnetic object (4).
  • the magnetic attraction force creates a tightening torque around the pivot line (3).
  • the worktop is a surface that is not necessarily flat.
  • the magnetic half-clamp allows the immobilization of the workpiece (5) on the worktop or object (4), the workpiece being wedged between the magnetized half-clamp and the worktop or object ( figure 4 ) under the effect of the magnetic force.
  • the lever arm (2) allows easy detachment of the clamp from the surface by pivoting about the pivot line (3) of the clamp ( figure 2 ).
  • the pivot line (3) is, at any time, the axis of rotation of the device passing through the contact point or points between the magnetized surface and the work plane.
  • the magnetized surface (1) has a line that we will call the pole separation line (6), this line being approximately the perpendicular to the magnetized surface of the barycentre of the South poles and the North poles magnetization of the surface. There is such a large South Pole "force" on one side of the pole separation line that we will find a "North Pole” force on the other side of the line, the two centers of the North Poles and South being of equal weight on the magnetized surface (1).
  • the shape of the lever arm (2) is chosen to allow the user to exert a force substantially orthogonal to the magnetized surface or a torque relative to the pivot line (3) of the magnetized half-gripper.
  • This arrangement prevents slipping of the magnetized half-clamp on the work surface when an operator exerts an action on the lever arm.
  • the shape can be adapted according to the coefficient of friction between the work plane and the magnetic half-clamp.
  • the angle formed by the lever arm and the magnetized surface whose vertex is the pivot line (9) may have a value greater than 145 °. This particular configuration is represented on the figure 2 .
  • the line of separation of the poles (6) ( Figure 3 ) is perpendicular or near perpendicular to the pivot line (3), which may itself be aligned or approximately aligned with the maximum lever arm (14), ie the segment of the orthogonal lever arm at the pivot axis passing through the point of the magnetized half-gripper at the greatest distance from the pivot axis.
  • This configuration makes it possible to have a continuous attraction force between the magnetized surface and the work surface as the opening angle (7) between the magnetized half-clamp and the working plane increases. It further avoids that the magnetic half-clamp slides on the worktop when it opens, the pivot line remaining in contact with the worktop.
  • the pole separation line (6) can constitute approximately an axis of symmetry of the geometry of the magnetized surface (1), the magnetic fields passing through two symmetrical surface elements with respect to each other. to the polar separation line being opposed with consequently a form of antisymmetric distribution of the North and South poles on either side of the line of separation of the poles.
  • This arrangement then also makes it possible to constitute a magnetized clamp by assembling two identical or different magnetized half-clips ( figure 9 ).
  • the symmetry of the device allows in this configuration an automatic centering of the two half-clips relative to each other, the separation lines of the poles of the two half-clips being approximately merged when the clamp is closed.
  • the pivot line is then the opening axis of the clamp.
  • This arrangement also facilitates the transport of magnetic half-clips, the half-clips being transported in pairs, glued against each other.
  • the magnetized half-clamp may comprise a claw elastic (8) for fixing thick parts while maintaining a high clamping force.
  • the elasticity of the elastic claw (8) is adapted to the attraction force developed by the magnetized surface (1), the lever arm (2) and the thickness range for which the device operates.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly intended for fixing objects on a work plane, in particular a large worktop, or on a magnetic board.
