Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de retenue selon le préambule de la revendication 1 qui permet de maintenir fermement le support tubulaire d'un enrouleur de câble électrique ou de tuyau souple et qui facilite ainsi l'enroulement du câble ou du tuyau sur le tambour.The present invention relates to a retainer according to the preamble of claim 1 which makes it possible to firmly hold the tubular support of an electric cable or hose reel and which thus facilitates the winding of the cable or pipe on the drum.

La manipulation des enrouleurs comportant jusqu'à 50m de câble, voire plus, n'est pas toujours aisée à cause des difficultés de préhension et du manque de stabilité du support sur le sol.The handling of reels with up to 50m of cable or more, is not always easy because of the difficulties of grip and the lack of stability of the support on the ground.

Pour enrouler le câble, il faut en effet tenir le support d'une main et avec l'autre, assurer la rotation du tambour. L'opération d'enroulement se solde très souvent par un chevauchement aléatoire des spires, voire un enchevêtrement de celles-ci.To wind the cable, it is necessary to hold the support with one hand and with the other, ensure the rotation of the drum. The winding operation very often results in a random overlap of the turns, or even an entanglement of them.

Le système décrit dans le document référencé JP 2002 302345 A (MATSUO EXTERIOR KK) du 18 octobre 2002 présente un dispositif de retenue et de fixation pour le support d'un enrouleur de tuyau d'arrosage. Ce dispositif est constitué d'un support de retenue à fixer sur deux branches parallèles formant piètement du support tubulaire de l'enrouleur et qui peut être fixé par une extrémité de fixation à un élément de fixation lui-même fixé sur un support tel qu'un mur. Le support de retenue comprend deux griffes mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre servant de moyens de retenue. Chaque griffe est fixée sur une plaque de forme allongée, les deux plaques étant mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre. Des moyens de blocage, sous la forme d'un système vis-écrou papillon, permettent de fixer la position relative des deux plaques, et, par là même, celle des deux griffes. Lors du montage, les deux griffes sont écartées, le piètement du support tubulaire introduit entre les deux griffes qui sont alors rapprochées l'une de l'autre jusqu'à ce que chacune enserre l'une des branches du piètement. L'écrou papillon est alors fermé. Pour maintenir le support de retenue en place, il est ensuite fixé par son extrémité de fixation au support fixe par l'intermédiaire de l'élément de fixation. Ce dispositif de retenue et de fixation présente plusieurs inconvénients. Tout d'abord, il nécessite pour sa mise en place sur le support de l'enrouleur de visser et dévisser l'écrou papillon à chaque fixation et enlèvement de ce dernier. De plus, il nécessite un support fixe tel qu'un mur ou un poteau pour être stabilisé lors de l'enroulement ou du déroulement. Il ne peut donc pas être stabilisé en tout lieu.The system described in the referenced document JP 2002 302345 A (MATSUO EXTERIOR KK) dated 18 October 2002 has a retaining and fixing device for the support of a hose reel. This device consists of a retaining bracket to be fixed on two parallel branches forming a base of the tubular support of the reel and which can be fixed by a fixing end to a fastening element itself fixed on a support such as a wall. The retaining support comprises two claws movable relative to each other serving as retaining means. Each claw is fixed on an elongated plate, the two plates being movable relative to each other. Locking means, in the form of a screw-nut butterfly system, allow to fix the relative position of the two plates, and, by the same, that of the two claws. During assembly, the two claws are spaced, the base of the tubular support introduced between the two claws which are then close to each other until each encloses one of the branches of the base. The wing nut is closed. To hold the retainer in place, it is then secured by its securing end to the fixed bracket through the fastener. This retaining and fixing device has several disadvantages. First, it requires for its implementation on the support of the retractor to screw and unscrew the wing nut at each fixing and removal of the latter. In addition, it requires a fixed support such as a wall or a post to be stabilized during winding or unwinding. It can not be stabilized anywhere.

L'objectif de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif pouvant être fixé à un enrouleur par des moyens de retenue dont non seulement l'écartement peut être adapté à celui de deux branches parallèles formant le piètement de l'enrouleur, mais qui de surcroit ne nécessite pas de rerégler la distance entre les moyens de retenue à chaque fois qu'un même enrouleur est enlevé et remis sur le dispositif de retenue. Un deuxième objectif de l'invention est que l'enrouleur puisse être immobilisé lors de l'enroulement ou du déroulement sans qu'il soit nécessaire de l'attacher à un support fixe tel qu'un mur ou un poteau.The object of the invention is to provide a device that can be attached to a reel by retaining means, not only of which the spacing can be adapted to that of two parallel branches forming the base of the reel, but which in addition does not require to re-adjust the distance between the retaining means each time the same reel is removed and returned to the retainer. A second object of the invention is that the winder can be immobilized during winding or unwinding without it being necessary to attach it to a fixed support such as a wall or a post.

Ces objectifs sont atteints par le dispositif de l'invention. Conformément à l'invention,

  • le premier moyen de retenue est constitué d'une première butée en forme de cornière servant à loger une première branche de piètement en limitant le mouvement d'introduction de ladite première branche de piètement dans un sens de la première direction ;
  • le deuxième moyen de retenue est constitué d'une deuxième butée servant à loger la deuxième branche de piètement et placée à l'extrémité d'une béquille pouvant se déplacer entre une position de repos, dans laquelle la deuxième branche de piètement ne peut pas être retenue par la deuxième butée même lorsque la première branche de piètement est logée dans le premier moyen de retenue, et une position de retenue dans laquelle la deuxième branche de piètement peut être retenue lorsque la première branche de piètement est logée dans le premier moyen de retenue, un moyen de verrouillage étant prévu pour bloquer la béquille en position de retenue lorsqu'il est en position de verrouillage.
These objectives are achieved by the device of the invention. According to the invention,
  • the first retaining means comprises a first angle-shaped abutment for accommodating a first leg of the leg by limiting the insertion movement of said first leg leg in a direction of the first direction;
  • the second retaining means is constituted by a second stop serving to accommodate the second leg of the leg and placed at the end of a stand that can move between a rest position, in which the second leg of leg can not be retained by the second stop even when the first leg leg is housed in the first retaining means, and a retaining position in which the second leg leg can be retained when the first leg leg is housed in the first retaining means , a locking means being provided for locking the stand in the retaining position when in the locking position.

Avec un tel dispositif, il est possible, lorsque la distance entre les deux moyens de retenue est préalablement ajustée, de placer le dispositif de l'invention sur le piètement et de le retirer sans devoir modifier à chaque fois la position relative des deux moyens de retenue.With such a device, it is possible, when the distance between the two retaining means is previously adjusted, to place the device of the invention on the base and remove it without having to change each time the relative position of the two means of detention.

Dans une première version, la première butée est conçue pour limiter le mouvement, en direction opposée à la béquille, d'une branche de piètement introduite dedans, et la béquille est conçue pour, lors du passage de la position de repos à la position de retenue, repousser en direction de la première butée une branche de piètement en contact avec la deuxième butée. Dans ce cas, les deux butées agissent sur les branches de piètement depuis l'extérieur en direction de l'autre butée.In a first version, the first stop is designed to limit the movement, in the opposite direction to the stand, of a leg branch introduced therein, and the stand is designed for, during the transition from the rest position to the position of retained, push towards the first stop a leg branch in contact with the second stop. In this case, the two stops act on the leg branches from the outside in the direction of the other stop.

Dans une deuxième version, la première butée est conçue pour limiter le mouvement en direction de la béquille d'une branche de piètement introduite dedans, et la béquille est conçue pour, lors du passage de la position de repos à la position de retenue, repousser en direction opposée à la première butée une branche de piètement en contact avec la deuxième butée. Dans ce cas, les deux butées agissent depuis le centre du dispositif en direction opposée à l'autre butée.In a second version, the first stop is designed to limit the movement towards the stand of a leg branch introduced therein, and the stand is designed for, when passing from the rest position to the retaining position, push back in opposite direction to the first stop a leg branch in contact with the second stop. In this case, the two stops act from the center of the device in the opposite direction to the other stop.

Il est préférable de placer dans la première butée un élément ressort, de préférence un ressort lame, lequel élément ressort est dimensionné pour être comprimé par une branche de piètement lorsqu'une deuxième branche de piètement se trouve dans le deuxième moyen de retenue en position de retenue.It is preferable to place a spring element in the first abutment, preferably a leaf spring, which spring element is sized to be compressed by a leg leg when a second leg leg is in the second leg retainer. detention.

  • une gorge solidaire de l'autre moyen de retenue et munie de deux surfaces de contact complémentaires aux surfaces de contact du coulisseau,
  • des moyens de serrage étant prévus pour serrer en position voulue les surfaces de contact du coulisseau contre les surfaces de contact de la gorge de sorte à bloquer le mouvement du coulisseau par rapport à la gorge.
The blocking means can be constituted by

De plus, il est prévu que
  • les surfaces de contact de la gorge aient la forme qu'auraient les parois d'une gorge réalisée par une fraise conique déplacée simultanément selon un mouvement de translation dans le sens longitudinal de la gorge et selon un mouvement de translation d'enfoncement dans la matière perpendiculaire au mouvement de translation longitudinal. L'orientation des surfaces de contact de la gorge est choisie de telle sorte qu'après serrage des moyens de serrage, le coulisseau ne peut pas être déplacé dans le sens de pénétration de la branche de piètement dans le moyen de retenue mobile.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that:
  • the slider is constituted by a hexahedron having two parallel base faces, a front face, a rear face and two lateral faces, the hexahedron having mirror symmetry along a plane perpendicular to the base faces intersecting the front face and the rear face in their middle, the lateral faces forming the contact surfaces and being inclined towards each other so that (i) the edge at the junction between the first base face and the front face is shorter than the at the junction between the second base face and the end face, (ii) the edge at the junction between the first base face and the posterior face is shorter than the edge at the junction between the second face of the second face and the base and the posterior face and (iii) the edge at the junction between the first base face and the front face is shorter than the edge at the junction between the first base face and the rear face. In addition, it is expected that
  • the contact surfaces of the groove have the shape that would have the walls of a groove made by a conical bur moved simultaneously in a translational movement in the longitudinal direction of the groove and in a translational movement of depression in the material perpendicular to the longitudinal translation movement. The orientation of the contact surfaces of the groove is chosen so that after tightening clamping means, the slider can not be moved in the direction of penetration of the leg branch in the movable retaining means.

Il est préférable de fixer le premier moyen de retenue et le deuxième moyen de retenue sur une plaque formant châssis, l'un des moyens de retenue pouvant être déplacé par rapport au châssis et être bloqué dans une position souhaitée par le moyen de blocage.It is preferable to secure the first retaining means and the second retaining means to a frame plate, one of the retaining means being movable relative to the frame and locked in a desired position by the locking means.

Afin d'immobiliser l'enrouleur lors du déroulement ou de l'enroulement, il est prévu dans une variante de réalisation d'articuler au moins une semelle sur le châssis de telle sorte qu'elle peut être déplacée entre une position rangée et une position déployée écartée du châssis, la semelle étant de préférence articulée par un système vis-écrou, notamment par un système vis-écrou papillon, et peut être munie d'un moyen de serrage de sorte que le serrage dudit moyen de serrage, notamment du système vis-écrou, immobilise la semelle par rapport au châssis dans une position angulaire souhaitée.In order to immobilize the winder during unrolling or winding, it is provided in an alternative embodiment to articulate at least one soleplate on the frame so that it can be moved between a stowed position and a position deployed away from the chassis, the soleplate preferably being hinged by a screw-nut system, in particular by a screw-nut butterfly system, and may be provided with a clamping means so that the clamping of said clamping means, including the system screw-nut, immobilizes the soleplate relative to the frame in a desired angular position.

La butée cornière peut être placée mobile sur le châssis et peut être bloquée dans une position particulière par le moyen de blocage, en particulier par un système vis-écrou.The angle stop can be placed movable on the frame and can be locked in a particular position by the locking means, in particular by a screw-nut system.

Il est préférable que la béquille puisse être maintenue en position de repos par un élément ressort, notamment par un ressort à une spire.It is preferable that the stand can be maintained in the rest position by a spring element, in particular by a coil spring.

Le moyen de verrouillage pour bloquer la béquille en position de retenue peut agir sur la branche de piètement maintenue par la butée de la béquille ou agir directement sur la béquille. Le dispositif de verrouillage est de préférence constitué d'une languette montée sur une vis solidaire d'un cube amovible. Un moyen d'ajustement peut être prévu pour placer le cube dans une position angulaire parmi au moins deux positions angulaires différentes afin d'ajuster la hauteur de la languette. Chaque pivotement d'un quart de tour du cube correspond à la montée ou à la descente de la languette d'une hauteur correspondant à un quart de pas de vis de la vis sur laquelle elle est fixée.The locking means for locking the stand in the retaining position can act on the leg branch held by the abutment of the stand or act directly on the stand. The locking device is preferably constituted by a tongue mounted on a screw integral with a removable cube. Adjustment means may be provided for placing the cube in an angular position among at least two different angular positions to adjust the height of the tongue. Each pivot of a quarter turn of the cube corresponds to the rise or the descent of the tongue of a height corresponding to a quarter of screw thread of the screw on which it is fixed.

La première buée peut être une butée de type butée à auvent. Comme pour la languette, il est préférable de prévoir un moyen d'ajustement de la hauteur de l'auvent. La butée à auvent est de préférence constituée d'une première cornière dont la première aile remplit la fonction d'auvent et la deuxième aile celle de butée, laquelle première cornière peut coulisser avec sa deuxième aile contre une première aile d'une deuxième cornière. La première cornière présente sur sa deuxième aile au moins une vis, de préférence deux, qui chacune traverse une lumière correspondante réalisée dans la première aile de la deuxième cornière et dans laquelle elle peut être déplacée, la ou les vis étant munies d'un écrou pour fixer la première cornière par rapport à la deuxième dans la position souhaitée.The first mist may be an abutment stop type stop. As for the tongue, it is preferable to provide a means of adjusting the height of the awning. The awning stop is preferably constituted by a first angle of which the first wing fulfills the function of awning and the second wing that of stop, which first angle can slide with its second wing against a first wing of a second angle. The first angle has on its second wing at least one screw, preferably two, which each passes through a corresponding light made in the first wing of the second angle and in which it can be moved, the screw or screws being provided with a nut for fixing the first angle relative to the second in the desired position.

L'élément ressort peut être muni de moyens pour régler sa hauteur dans la première butée.The spring element may be provided with means for adjusting its height in the first stop.

La béquille peut être constituée par une paire de bras rigides articulés autour d'un axe et réunis par leurs extrémités opposées à l'articulation par une lame remplissant la fonction de deuxième butée.The stand can be constituted by a pair of rigid arms articulated about an axis and joined by their ends opposite the articulation by a blade fulfilling the function of second stop.

Dans une réalisation privilégiée de l'invention, le dispositif est formé d'une semelle solidaire, au moyen d'un système vis-écrou, d'un châssis présentant une lumière réalisée par une fraise conique et comportant une butée à auvent munie d'un ressort servant à loger un côté de la tubulure de l'enrouleur, ainsi qu'un bloc poussoir dont la paire de bras, en réceptionnant l'autre côté de la tubulure de l'enrouleur grâce à une lame, et suite au mouvement vers le bas lors de la mise en place de l'enrouleur, va faire office de béquille en s'articulant autour de l'axe de la paire de bras, ce qui a pour effet de créer une poussée engendrant un mouvement comprimant un ressort lame fixé par rivetage à la butée à auvent. Une languette du système de verrouillage assure l'immobilisation de l'enrouleur. L'écrou du système vis-écrou est de préférence un écrou papillon et son serrage rend la semelle solidaire du châssis dans la position d'angle souhaitée par l'utilisateur, le dispositif pouvant être immobilisé par appui du pied sur la semelle. Le système de verrouillage peut être constitué d'une vis solidaire d'un cube en PVC, amovible si un ajustement s'avère nécessaire, d'où la possibilité d'un rattrapage sur le pas de vis par rotation d'un quart ou d'un demi-tour de ce bloc PVC si la languette n'assure pas un serrage ferme de la tubulure de l'enrouleur. La butée à auvent est fixée au châssis de préférence par un système vis-écrou. L'usinage de la lumière dans le châssis peut être réalisé à l'aide d'une fraise conique effectuant un mouvement de translation rectiligne oblique, ce type d'usinage, en raison de la structure en forme de trapèze isocèle du polyèdre DTT, empêchant par coincement le déplacement de la butée à auvent dans le sens imposé par la force de rappel du ressort (19). Le positionnement de la butée à auvent sur le châssis peut être réglable entre les deux positions extrêmes du polyèdre DTT d'où la possibilité d'utiliser, avec le même dispositif, des enrouleurs de gabarits x différents dans la limite imposée par la course du coulisseau. Les moyens techniques mis en oeuvre pour réaliser le blocage de la butée à auvent constituent un procédé qui peut être généralisé et applicable à tout type de curseur sous condition d'épaisseur suffisante de la pièce qui fait office de châssis.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the device is formed of a solid sole, by means of a screw-nut system, a frame having a light made by a conical bur and having a canopy stop provided with a spring for accommodating one side of the tubing of the retractor, and a pusher block whose pair of arms, receiving the other side of the tubing of the retractor through a blade, and following the movement to the bottom during the introduction of the retractor, will act as a stand by articulating around the axis of the pair of arms, which has the effect of creating a thrust generating a movement compressing a fixed leaf spring by riveting at the awning stop. A tongue of the locking system ensures the immobilization of the winder. The nut of the screw-nut system is preferably a wing nut and its tightening makes the sole integral with the frame in the desired angle position by the user, the device can be immobilized by pressing the foot on the sole. The locking system may consist of a screw integral with a PVC cube, removable if an adjustment is necessary, hence the possibility of catching on the thread by rotation of a quarter or two. a half turn of this PVC block if the tongue does not ensure a tight tightening of the tubing of the reel. The awning stop is fixed to the frame preferably by a screw-nut system. The machining of the light in the frame can be achieved by means of a conical cutter performing an oblique rectilinear translation movement, this type of machining, because of the isosceles trapezoidal structure of the DTT polyhedron, preventing by wedging the movement of the stop to awning in the direction imposed by the restoring force of the spring (19). The positioning of the awning abutment on the frame can be adjustable between the two extreme positions of the DTT polyhedron, hence the possibility of using, with the same device, winders of different sizes x within the limit imposed by the stroke of the slide. . The technical means implemented to achieve the blocking of the awning stop are a method that can be generalized and applicable to any type of slider under condition of sufficient thickness of the part which serves as a chassis.

Le dispositif selon l'invention apporte une solution aux problèmes évoqués dans le préambule. Il peut s'adapter à une gamme d'enrouleurs usuels portatifs à poignée. En effet, il a pour fonction de maintenir fermement la base du support tubulaire d'un enrouleur par une pression du pied et laisse ainsi les mains libres à l'utilisateur, lui permettant de tourner le tambour et de guider le câble pour éviter un enroulement pêle-mêle.The device according to the invention provides a solution to the problems mentioned in the preamble. It can adapt to a range of portable hand-held reels. Indeed, it has the function of firmly holding the base of the tubular support of a reel by a pressure of the foot and thus leaves the hands free to the user, allowing him to turn the drum and guide the cable to prevent winding jumble.

La figure 3 montre une vue schématique d'un enrouleur sur lequel peut être fixé le dispositif de retenue de l'invention. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'un enrouleur pour câble électrique ou d'un enrouleur pour tuyau d'arrosage. De tels enrouleurs sont constitués d'un tambour (101) fixé à un support en étant mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation (102). Ce support est généralement constitué d'une structure présentant un piètement constitué d'au moins deux branches parallèles (111, 112). Dans l'exemple représenté ici schématiquement, ce support est réalisé à partir d'un tube creux cintré plusieurs fois de sorte à former à partir d'un seul tube les éléments suivants: une poignée (110), une première branche porteuse (113), une première branche de piètement (111) et une deuxième branche de piètement (112) reliée à la première (111) par une branche intermédiaire (114), et une seconde branche porteuse (115) dans le prolongement de la deuxième branche de piètement (112). Chaque branche est perpendiculaire à la ou à chacune des deux branches adjacentes. Ainsi, les deux branches porteuses (113, 115) se trouvent dans un plan vertical, les deux branches de piètement (111, 112) et la branche intermédiaire (114) sont dans un même plan horizontal, parallèle à la poignée (110) et à l'axe de rotation. L'axe de rotation (102) horizontal du tambour (101) est généralement fixé à l'une des deux branches porteuses, ici la deuxième (115). Dans la pratique, l'invention peut s'appliquer à tout type d'enrouleur présentant deux branches de piètement (111, 112) parallèles placées en regard l'une de l'autre, peu important le mode de réalisation du reste du support.The figure 3 shows a schematic view of a winder on which can be fixed the retaining device of the invention. This may be for example a reel for electric cable or a hose reel. Such reels consist of a drum (101) fixed to a support being rotatable about an axis of rotation (102). This support generally consists of a structure having a base consisting of at least two parallel branches (111, 112). In the example represented here schematically, this support is made from a hollow tube bent several times so as to form from a single tube the following elements: a handle (110), a first carrying branch (113) , a first leg leg (111) and a second leg leg (112) connected to the first leg (111) by an intermediate leg (114), and a second carrying leg (115) in the extension of the second leg leg (112). Each branch is perpendicular to the or each of the two adjacent branches. Thus, the two carrying branches (113, 115) are in a vertical plane, the two leg branches (111, 112) and the intermediate leg (114) are in the same horizontal plane, parallel to the handle (110) and to the axis of rotation. The horizontal axis of rotation (102) of the drum (101) is generally fixed to one of the two carrying branches, here the second (115). In practice, the invention can be applied to any type of winder having two parallel legs (111, 112) placed opposite each other, the embodiment of the rest of the support is of little importance.

Comme le montre notamment la figure 2, le dispositif est composé de deux plaques, par exemple en PVC, oblongues et superposées : la semelle (1) et le châssis (2). Liées par une articulation, par exemple un système vis-écrou (3), elles ont un degré de liberté l'une par rapport à l'autre, en l'occurrence une rotation autour du corps de vis qui constitue l'axe de rotation. Par actionnement d'un moyen de serrage, par exemple par serrage de l'écrou papillon de la vis (3), on peut rendre l'ensemble solidaire dans la position d'angle souhaitée par l'utilisateur (position déployée), peu importe que celui-ci soit droitier ou gaucher. La vis est positionnée perpendiculairement à la semelle, sa tête y étant par exemple scellée à la semelle par thermo soudure. L'assemblage de ces deux plaques se fait par l'engagement du corps de vis dans un alésage réalisé dans le châssis. Par serrage de l'écrou papillon, on immobilise l'ensemble. La semelle peut être moins longue que le châssis, auquel cas ce dernier est de préférence muni, du côté opposé à l'articulation, d'un petit socle (4) compensant l'épaisseur de la semelle, dans le but d'assurer une bonne stabilité au sol.As shown in particular figure 2 , the device is composed of two plates, for example PVC, oblong and superimposed: the sole (1) and the frame (2). Linked by a joint, for example a screw-nut system (3), they have a degree of freedom with respect to each other, in this case a rotation around the screw body which constitutes the axis of rotation . By actuation of a clamping means, for example by tightening the wing nut of the screw (3), the assembly can be made integral in the desired angle position by the user (extended position), it does not matter whether it is right-handed or left-handed. The screw is positioned perpendicularly to the sole, its head being for example sealed to the sole by thermo welding. The assembly of these two plates is done by the engagement of the body of screws in a bore made in the frame. By tightening the wing nut, it immobilizes all. The sole may be shorter than the frame, in which case the latter is preferably provided, on the side opposite the articulation, a small base (4) compensating for the thickness of the sole, in order to ensure a good ground stability.

La figure 1 montre le dispositif dans sa présentation fermée (position rangée), pour le transport. Sur la figure 2, la semelle est déployée et immobilisée dans une position donnée.The figure 1 shows the device in its closed presentation (row position), for transport. On the figure 2 , the sole is deployed and immobilized in a given position.

La semelle (1) permet, par appui du pied, d'immobiliser le dispositif comme le montre la figure 2. La stabilité au sol est optimisée par une assise plus grande au niveau de l'articulation (3), la base de sustentation étant plus large à cet endroit. Pour effectuer aisément l'opération d'enroulement du câble sur le tambour, il est conseillé de fléchir le genou. Si cela est possible, on peut aussi fixer la semelle (1) du dispositif sur un plateau rigide.The sole (1) makes it possible, by pressing the foot, to immobilize the device as shown in FIG. figure 2 . The ground stability is optimized by a larger seat at the joint (3), the base of levitation being wider at this location. To easily perform the operation of winding the cable on the drum, it is advisable to bend the knee. If possible, one can also fix the sole (1) of the device on a rigid plate.

Le châssis (2), plus épais que la semelle en raison de l'usinage d'une lumière dont la fonction sera expliquée plus bas, comporte trois groupes de pièces représentés en vue de dessus sur les figures 1 et 2 ainsi que sur les figures 4 d'une manière plus explicite quant à leurs fonctions respectives. Il s'agit d'une part d'un premier moyen de retenue (13) et d'un second moyen de retenue (5, 7), ces moyens de retenue pouvant être écartés ou rapprochés l'un de l'autre en vue d'adapter le dispositif de retenue à l'écartement (x) des branches de piètement (111, 112) de l'enrouleur, et d'autre part d'un moyen de verrouillage (11, 12) pour verrouiller le dispositif de retenue en position d'utilisation.The frame (2), thicker than the soleplate due to the machining of a light whose function will be explained below, comprises three groups of parts represented in plan view on the Figures 1 and 2 as well as on figures 4 in a more explicit way as to their respective functions. It is on the one hand a first retaining means (13) and a second retaining means (5, 7), these retaining means being able to be spaced apart or brought closer to one another in order to adapting the retaining device to the spacing (x) of the leg legs (111, 112) of the retractor, and secondly of a locking means (11, 12) for locking the retaining device in position of use.

Le second moyen de retenue peut être par exemple un bloc poussoir muni d'un système de verrouillage et le premier moyen de retenue peut être constitué par exemple d'une butée à auvent réglable.The second retaining means may be for example a pusher block provided with a locking system and the first retaining means may consist for example of an adjustable awning stop.

Les figures illustrent les différentes pièces composant ces trois groupes :

  • - Le bloc poussoir, représenté sur les figures 5 et 6 et servant de deuxième moyen de retenue, est constitué d'une paire de bras rigides (5) de préférence cylindriques, par exemple en PVC, dont une extrémité peut s'articuler autour d'un axe (9) maintenu par une chape (6), de préférence en aluminium, solidaire du châssis par exemple par rivetage. À l'autre extrémité de chaque bras est fixée une lame (7), par exemple en PVC, profilée en arc de cercle et servant de réceptacle à l'une des deux branches de piètement (111) de l'enrouleur lors du mouvement indiqué par la flèche ①. Le bloc poussoir est maintenu en position haute (position de repos), par exemple à un angle de 40° environ, à l'aide d'un élément ressort, par exemple deux ressorts à spire unique (8) placés chacun sur l'axe de rotation (9) et dont l'une des extrémités est solidaire d'un des bras rigides (5) et l'autre extrémité est solidaire de la chape (6). La lame de par sa forme en arc de cercle sert, en position de retenue, de logement pour une branche de piètement et agit comme une butée qui bloque la branche de piètement aussi bien horizontalement (dans le sens opposé au premier moyen de retenue) que verticalement (dans la direction perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du premier moyen de retenue).
  • - Le moyen de verrouillage, illustré sur les figures 5 et 6 ainsi que d'une manière plus détaillée sur les figures 7a et 7b, est destiné à retenir le dispositif de l'invention en position d'utilisation, c'est-à-dire monté sur l'enrouleur, lorsque le bloc poussoir est en position de retenue. Il est lui-même composé de deux éléments :
    • Un cube (10), par exemple en PVC, muni d'un alésage par lequel passe le corps d'une vis (11), la tête de celle-ci étant fixée, par exemple par thermosoudure, dans le cube (10). La base de ce cube présente quatre trous borgnes comme le montre la vue de dessous, figure 7a. Seuls deux trous borgnes opposés du cube sont utilisés pour sa fixation avec des vis au châssis (2), ce dernier étant pourvu de deux alésages réalisés à l'identique, en diagonale, pour permettre cette opération. Le cube est ainsi amovible si un ajustement s'avère nécessaire ;
    • Une languette (12) de préférence métallique, présentant à l'une de ses extrémités un alésage sous lequel est soudé un écrou (121) en position coaxiale. Cet ensemble est vissé sur le corps de la vis (11) du système de verrouillage. Lorsque le piètement de l'enrouleur est placé dans le dispositif de retenue, la languette est tournée autour de l'axe constitué par la vis (11) jusqu'à passer par-dessus la branche de piètement (111) retenue par le deuxième moyen de retenue. Elle empêche ainsi que cette branche ne soit soulevée et que le support de l'enrouleur ne sorte du dispositif de retenue. Pour assurer un verrouillage correct de l'enrouleur comme le montre la figure 4b, le positionnement de l'ensemble languette-écrou sur le corps de vis nécessite un réglage préalable en hauteur en fonction du diamètre de la tubulure utilisée pour fabriquer le support. Dans le cas où la languette (12) n'assure pas un serrage ferme de la tubulure, un rattrapage sur le pas de vis est réalisable en permutant des trous borgnes, par rotation d'un quart ou d'un demi-tour du cube (10). Ainsi, à chaque quart de tour du cube, la vis (11) qui en est solidaire tourne d'autant, montant ou descendant la languette (12) d'un quart de pas de vis. Cela permet un ajustement fin de la hauteur de la languette au diamètre de la tubulure constituant le support de l'enrouleur. Les trous oblongs avec les deux vis correspondantes, associés à la vis (11) et à l'écrou (121) situé sur la languette, remplissent la fonction de moyen d'ajustement de la hauteur de la languette.
  • -- La butée à auvent, servant de premier moyen de retenue et dont le positionnement par rapport au bloc poussoir est réglable, est également appelée butée cornière. Elle est représentée de profil sur la figure 9. La coupe suivant B-B est réalisée à partir d'une vue du côté droit du dispositif représentée par la figure 8. Cette butée est composée de deux éléments :
    • Une pièce (13, 14) de préférence métallique devant à la fois servir de logement à la tubulure de la deuxième branche de piètement (112) de l'enrouleur et contribuer à la fixation d'un coulisseau au châssis, coulisseau dont la fonction sera expliquée plus bas. Elle est obtenue par exemple par soudure ou par rivetage de deux ailes de cornière positionnées tête-bêche de part et d'autre de leur surface de contact (cf. figures 18). Comme cela est illustré sur la figure 9, un ressort lame (19) à embouts, de préférence en matières plastiques, est fixé au fond de la butée cornière (13), par exemple riveté. Comme cela sera décrit plus bas, le ressort lame peut également être réglable en hauteur.
      Une variante en est la réalisation par deux pliages d'une lame rectangulaire, à angle droit, mais de sens contraire. C'est la solution retenue ici.
      Pour nécessité de jeu, les plis se situent en deux endroits distants d'une longueur légèrement supérieure à celle du diamètre de la tubulure constituant la deuxième branche de piètement (112). Une des deux lames (13), constituant l'auvent, comme le montre la figure 9, empêche tout déplacement vertical de la deuxième branche de piètement (112) de l'enrouleur lorsque l'on tourne le tambour. L'autre lame (14), parallèle à l'auvent (13), constitue la base de la butée. La partie médiale entre les deux lames constitue la butée à proprement parler. Associée à la première lame, elle constitue la butée cornière. La deuxième lame (14) repose sur le châssis (2) et, comme elle est munie d'un alésage, elle permet la fixation du coulisseau précédemment évoqué grâce à un système vis (15) - écrou (18).
      Pour pouvoir positionner correctement la butée cornière (13), celle-ci est munie de deux ergots (16) qui en assurent le guidage par coulissement grâce à la présence de deux rainures parallèles fraisées dans le châssis.
    • Le coulisseau, représenté sur la coupe B-B de la figure 9 est lui-même formé de deux éléments : un polyèdre (17), de préférence en PVC, et de la vis de fixation (15). Ce polyèdre (17) est désigné par l'acronyme DTT.
      La tête de la vis, qui peut être encastrée dans le polyèdre DTT et être solidaire de ce dernier, par exemple par thermosoudure, a été réduite en volume pour des raisons d'encombrement.
      Les figures géométriques 11a à 11d montrent les différentes étapes de la réalisation du polyèdre DTT. Comme cela est visible sur la figure 11a, la base du tétraèdre SABC est un triangle isocèle en A tout comme la face latérale (SBC) est isocèle en S. La base (ABC) et la face latérale (SBC) se trouvent dans deux plans perpendiculaires, comme le montre la figure 11a.
      Le tétraèdre SABC est coupé par le plan (P) parallèle au plan de la base (ABC) formant ainsi un tronc de tétraèdre et un tétraèdre.
      Comme le montre la figure 11b, le tronc de tétraèdre ainsi obtenu est maintenant coupé par le plan (P') parallèle au plan contenant la face latérale (SBC). On obtient ainsi deux nouveaux solides comme le montre la figure 11c : un tronc de tétraèdre plus petit ainsi que le polyèdre (17). Ce dernier est donc le résultat de deux troncatures successives opérées sur le tétraèdre SABC par deux plans respectivement parallèles à la base du tétraèdre et à la face latérale qui est perpendiculaire à cette base.
      Il s'agit donc d'une Double Troncature de Tétraèdre, d'où l'acronyme DTT.
      Il va de soi que dans la pratique, ce polyèdre DDT (17) pourra être obtenu par toute autre méthode, notamment par moulage. Le polyèdre (17) est donc un hexaèdre présentant deux faces de base parallèles (171, 172), une face frontale (173) et une face postérieure (174) parallèles entre elles et perpendiculaires aux faces de bases (171, 172), et deux faces latérales (175, 176). L'hexaèdre présente une symétrie de miroir selon un plan perpendiculaire aux faces de bases coupant la face frontale (173) et la face postérieure (174) en leur milieu. Les faces latérales (175, 176) forment des surfaces de contact et sont inclinées l'une vers l'autre de telle sorte que (i) l'arête à la jonction entre la première face de base (171) et la face frontale (173) est plus courte que l'arête à la jonction entre la deuxième face de base (172) et la face frontale (173), (ii) l'arête à la jonction entre la première face de base (171) et la face postérieure (174) est plus courte que l'arête à la jonction entre la deuxième face de base (172) et la face postérieure (174), (iii) l'arête à la jonction entre la première face de base (171) et la face frontale (173) est plus courte que l'arête à la jonction entre la première face de base (171) et la face postérieure (174) et (iv) l'arête à la jonction entre la deuxième face de base (172) et la face frontale (173) est plus courte que l'arête à la jonction entre la deuxième face de base (172) et la face postérieure (174).
      Les figures 11e et 11f sont relatives à la réalisation du coulisseau.
The figures illustrate the different parts composing these three groups:
  • - The push block, represented on the Figures 5 and 6 and serving as a second retaining means, consists of a pair of preferably cylindrical rigid arms (5), for example made of PVC, one end of which can be articulated about an axis (9) held by a clevis (6). ), preferably aluminum, secured to the frame for example by riveting. At the other end of each arm is fixed a blade (7), for example PVC, profiled in circular arc and serving as a receptacle for one of the two leg legs (111) of the retractor during the movement indicated by the arrow ①. The pusher block is held in the up position (rest position), for example at an angle of about 40 °, with the aid of a spring element, for example two single coil springs (8) each placed on the axis rotation (9) and whose one end is secured to one of the rigid arms (5) and the other end is integral with the yoke (6). The blade in its arcuate shape serves, in the retaining position, housing for a leg of the leg and acts as a stop that blocks the leg leg both horizontally (in the opposite direction to the first retaining means) that vertically (in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first retaining means).
  • - The locking means, illustrated on the Figures 5 and 6 as well as in a more detailed way on Figures 7a and 7b , is intended to retain the device of the invention in the use position, that is to say mounted on the reel, when the pusher block is in the retaining position. It is itself composed of two elements:
    • A cube (10), for example PVC, provided with a bore through which the body of a screw (11) passes, the head thereof being fixed, for example by heat-sealing, in the cube (10). The base of this cube has four blind holes as shown in the bottom view, figure 7a . Only two opposite blind holes of the cube are used for its attachment with screws to the frame (2), the latter being provided with two bores made identically, diagonally, to allow this operation. The cube is thus removable if an adjustment proves necessary;
    • A tongue (12) preferably of metal, having at one of its ends a bore under which is welded a nut (121) in coaxial position. This assembly is screwed onto the body of the screw (11) of the locking system. When the stand of the retractor is placed in the retaining device, the tongue is rotated about the axis constituted by the screw (11) to pass over the leg leg (111) retained by the second means restraint. It thus prevents this branch is raised and the support of the retractor does not come out of the retainer. To ensure correct locking of the winder as shown in figure 4b , the positioning of the tongue-nut assembly on the screw body requires a prior adjustment in height depending on the diameter of the tubing used to manufacture the support. In the case where the tongue (12) does not ensure a tight clamping of the tubing, a catch on the thread is feasible by permuting blind holes, by rotating a quarter or a half-turn of the cube (10). Thus, every quarter turn of the cube, the screw (11) which is integral thereto turns all the way, raising or lowering the tongue (12) by a quarter of a screw pitch. This allows a fine adjustment of the height of the tongue to the diameter of the tubing constituting the support of the winder. The oblong holes with the two corresponding screws, associated with the screw (11) and the nut (121) located on the tongue, fulfill the function of means for adjusting the height of the tongue.
  • - The awning stop, serving as first retaining means and whose positioning relative to the push block is adjustable, is also called angle stop. She is represented in profile on the figure 9 . The following section BB is made from a view on the right side of the device represented by the figure 8 . This stop is composed of two elements:
    • A piece (13, 14) preferably metal to both serve as a housing for the tubing of the second base leg (112) of the winder and contribute to the attachment of a slide to the frame, slide whose function will be explained below. It is obtained for example by welding or riveting two flanges of angle positioned back-to-back on both sides of their contact surface (cf. figures 18 ). As illustrated on the figure 9 , a blade spring (19) with tips, preferably plastics, is fixed to the bottom of the angle stop (13), for example riveted. As will be described below, the leaf spring can also be adjustable in height.
      A variant is the embodiment by two folds of a rectangular blade, at right angles, but in opposite directions. This is the solution chosen here.
      For need of clearance, the folds are located at two distant locations of a length slightly greater than that of the diameter of the tubing constituting the second leg (112). One of the two blades (13) constituting the awning, as shown in figure 9 prevents any vertical movement of the second leg (112) of the retractor when the drum is rotated. The other blade (14), parallel to the awning (13), is the base of the stop. The medial portion between the two blades is the stop strictly speaking. Associated with the first blade, it constitutes the angle stop. The second blade (14) rests on the frame (2) and, as it is provided with a bore, it allows the fixing of the aforementioned slide by means of a screw system (15) - nut (18).
      In order to correctly position the angle stop (13), it is provided with two lugs (16) which provide the sliding guide through the presence of two parallel grooves milled in the frame.
    • The slide, shown on the BB section of the figure 9 is itself formed of two elements: a polyhedron (17), preferably PVC, and the fixing screw (15). This polyhedron (17) is designated by the acronym DTT.
      The head of the screw, which can be embedded in the DTT polyhedron and be integral with the latter, for example by heat-sealing, has been reduced in volume for reasons of space.
      The geometrical figures 11a to 11d show the different steps of the realization of the DTT polyhedron. As is visible on the figure 11a , the base of the SABC tetrahedron is an isosceles triangle in A just as the lateral face (SBC) is isosceles in S. The base (ABC) and the lateral face (SBC) lie in two perpendicular planes, as shown by the figure 11a .
      The SABC tetrahedron is cut by the plane (P) parallel to the plane of the base (ABC) thus forming a tetrahedron trunk and a tetrahedron.
      As shown in figure 11b , the truncated tetrahedron thus obtained is now cut by the plane (P ') parallel to the plane containing the lateral face (SBC). This gives two new solids as shown in figure 11c a smaller tetrahedron trunk and the polyhedron (17). The latter is therefore the result of two successive truncations operated on the SABC tetrahedron by two planes respectively parallel to the base of the tetrahedron and to the lateral face which is perpendicular to this base.
      It is therefore a D ouble T roncature T étraèdre, hence the acronym DTT.
      It goes without saying that in practice, this polyhedron DDT (17) can be obtained by any other method, including molding. The polyhedron (17) is therefore a hexahedron having two parallel base faces (171, 172), a front face (173) and a rear face (174) parallel to each other and perpendicular to the base faces (171, 172), and two side faces (175, 176). The hexahedron has a symmetry of mirror in a plane perpendicular to the base faces intersecting the front face (173) and the rear face (174) in their middle. The side faces (175, 176) form contact surfaces and are inclined towards each other so that (i) the edge at the junction between the first base face (171) and the front face ( 173) is shorter than the edge at the junction between the second base face (172) and the end face (173), (ii) the edge at the junction between the first base face (171) and the face posterior (174) is shorter than the edge at the junction between the second base face (172) and the posterior face (174), (iii) the edge at the junction between the first base face (171) and the end face (173) is shorter than the edge at the junction between the first base face (171) and the rear face (174) and (iv) the edge at the junction between the second base face (172); ) and the front face (173) is shorter than the edge at the junction between the second base face (172) and the rear face (174).
      The figures 11e and 11f are related to the realization of the slide.

Grâce à la butée réglable (13), le dispositif selon l'invention peut s'adapter à des enrouleurs de gabarits x différents (cf. figure 3), dans la limite imposée par la course du coulisseau (15, 17) dans la gorge formée par la lumière (20)Thanks to the adjustable stop (13), the device according to the invention can adapt to winders of different sizes x (cf. figure 3 ), within the limit imposed by the stroke of the slider (15, 17) in the groove formed by the light (20)

Cette spécificité résulte à la fois de la forme géométrique du polyèdre DDT (17) du coulisseau et de celle de la lumière (20) contenant la gorge qui lui sert de guide. Comme le montre la figure 10, un évidement complet est réalisé dans le châssis avec une fraise conique effectuant un mouvement de translation rectiligne oblique. La direction de cette translation est matérialisée par le vecteur V représenté sur la figure 14 ainsi que par l'arête [OS] de la pyramide couchée ORST selon la figure 12. Cette pyramide couchée figure l'enveloppe de l'évidement formant la gorge de la lumière (20). L'usinage est effectué par une fraiseuse numérique à pilotage trois axes, le mouvement longitudinal d'avance de la fraise suivant l'axe X étant synchronisé, en fonction de l'amplitude de course souhaitée, avec le mouvement vertical de pénétration dans le châssis suivant l'axe Z.This specificity results both from the geometric shape of the DDT polyhedron (17) of the slider and from that of the light (20) containing the groove which serves as a guide. As shown in figure 10 , a complete recess is made in the frame with a conical cutter performing an oblique rectilinear translation movement. The direction of this translation is materialized by the vector V represented on the figure 14 as well as by the edge [OS] of the ORST lying pyramid according to the figure 12 . This lying pyramid is the envelope of the recess forming the throat of the light (20). The machining is performed by a digital milling machine with three axes control, the longitudinal movement of advance of the cutter along the X axis being synchronized, according to the desired stroke amplitude, with the vertical movement of penetration into the frame along the Z axis.

Les figures 13 et 14 présentent chacune la région du châssis où cette lumière a été réalisée : sur une vue du côté droit du châssis pour la première et sur une coupe suivant C-C pour la seconde. Elles montrent les deux positions extrêmes du polyèdre DTT (17) lors de ce mouvement de translation. En effet, il affleure les surfaces opposées du châssis respectivement en position basse en début de course et en position haute en fin de course, avec un déplacement orienté dans le sens X. On peut établir que la course du coulisseau (17) est fonction (i) de l'épaisseur b du châssis, (ii) de l'épaisseur a du polyèdre DTT (17) ainsi que (iii) de l'angle α déterminé par la profondeur de pénétration de la fraise. La relation entre ces grandeurs est donnée par la formule t = b a tan α .

Figure imgb0001
Une réalisation montre qu'un coulisseau pourvu d'un polyèdre DTT de 5 mm d'épaisseur et glissant dans la lumière d'un châssis d'épaisseur 8 mm, peut effectuer une course d'environ 27 mm pour un angle α de l'ordre de 6°.The Figures 13 and 14 each have the region of the frame where this light has been made: on a view of the right side of the frame for the first and on a section along CC for the second. They show the two extreme positions of the DTT polyhedron (17) during this translation movement. Indeed, it is flush with the opposite surfaces of the chassis respectively in the low position at the start of the race and in the high position at the end of the race, with a X-directional displacement. The travel of the slider (17) can be determined by (i) the thickness b of the frame, (ii) the thickness a of the DTT polyhedron (17) and (a) iii) the angle α determined by the penetration depth of the cutter. The relationship between these quantities is given by the formula t = b - at tan α .
Figure imgb0001
One embodiment shows that a slide provided with a DTT polyhedron 5 mm thick and sliding in the light of a frame of thickness 8 mm, can perform a stroke of about 27 mm for an angle α of the order of 6 °.

Dans cette réalisation, le fraisage de la lumière a été effectué à un endroit précis du châssis en vue d'adapter le dispositif à une gamme d'enrouleurs allant d'un gabarit de x à x + 27 mm. L'homme du métier comprend que d'autres dimensions peuvent être choisies pour obtenir d'autres gammes.In this embodiment, the milling of the light has been performed at a precise location of the frame in order to adapt the device to a range of reels ranging from a template of x to x + 27 mm. Those skilled in the art understand that other dimensions can be chosen to obtain other ranges.

En raison du mode d'usinage de la lumière par fraise conique, on trouve à chaque extrémité de l'espace utile à la course du coulisseau un demi -tronc de cône dont le seul rôle est de limiter le déplacement du polyèdre DTT.Because of the machining mode of the conical burst light, there is at each end of the slidable running space of the slide a half-cone truncate whose sole role is to limit the displacement of the DTT polyhedron.

Ce type d'usinage présente une particularité : par serrage de l'écrou (18) du coulisseau (cf. figure 9), un contact parfait est assuré entre les faces de contact (176, 177) obliques du polyèdre DTT (17) et celles correspondantes de la paroi intérieure de la gorge formant la lumière (20). Cela est le cas pour une position quelconque de la butée. Tout mouvement du coulisseau vers le bas est impossible à cause du serrage, même léger, de l'écrou. En raison de la structure en forme de trapèze isocèle du polyèdre DTT, par coincement, aucun déplacement du coulisseau n'est possible dans le sens imposé par la force de rappel du ressort (19) (c'est-à-dire vers la droite sur la figure 9). Il s'en suit un blocage complet de la butée, au moins vers la droite sur la figure 9, c'est-à-dire dans la direction de la poussée exercée par le bloc poussoir (5, 7) en position de retenue, et donc de l'enrouleur lorsque celui-ci est en position d'utilisation placé dans le dispositif (cf. figure 4b).This type of machining has a special feature: by tightening the nut (18) of the slider (cf. figure 9 ), a perfect contact is ensured between the oblique contact faces (176, 177) of the DTT polyhedron (17) and those corresponding to the inner wall of the groove forming the light (20). This is the case for any position of the stop. Any movement of the slide down is impossible because of the tightening, even slight, of the nut. Because of the isosceles trapezoidal structure of the DTT polyhedron, by jamming, no movement of the slider is possible in the direction imposed by the restoring force of the spring (19) (that is to say to the right on the figure 9 ). It follows a complete blocking of the stop, at least to the right on the figure 9 , that is to say in the direction of the thrust exerted by the pusher block (5, 7) in the retaining position, and therefore of the reel when it is in the position of use placed in the device ( cf. figure 4b ).

Cette manière d'immobiliser un tel coulisseau, par coincement du polyèdre DTT dans une lumière appropriée, est un procédé technique applicable à tout type de curseur qui nécessite un blocage ferme après réglage de son positionnement, dans la mesure où la pièce qui fait office de châssis présente une épaisseur suffisante pour y réaliser une lumière usinée à l'aide d'une fraise conique. Ce coulisseau DTT (17) et la gorge (20) obtenue par la fraise conique déplacée obliquement constituent donc un moyen de blocage qui peut être utilisé également dans n'importe quel autre domaine d'activité.This way of immobilizing such a slide, by jamming the polyhedron DTT in a suitable light, is a technical process applicable to any type of cursor which requires a firm lock after adjustment of its positioning, insofar as the part which serves as The chassis has a sufficient thickness to produce a machined light using a conical bur. This DTT slide (17) and the groove (20) obtained by the obliquely displaced conical bur are therefore a locking means that can be used also in any other field of activity.

La mise en place de l'enrouleur dans le dispositif se déroule en deux temps. Il faut tout d'abord positionner la butée cornière (13) réglable pour assurer une bonne compression du ressort lame (19) lorsque l'enrouleur est fixé sur le dispositif de l'invention. On choisira par exemple une distance x- 1cm à partir de la lame (7) du bloc poussoir lorsque celle-ci est en position basse (position de retenue) comme on le voit sur la figure 4b, ou à une distance de x - 2D + 1cm pour la variante présentée sur la figure 17, D représentant le diamètre de la tubulure formant les branches de piètement (111, 112). Il faut noter que le centimètre enlevé ou ajouté dans les deux formules précédentes correspond sensiblement à la distance de compression du ressort lame (19). Il est donc possible d'adapter cette valeur aux propriétés de ce ressort lame, ou d'y renoncer s'il n'y a pas d'élément ressort dans la butée cornière. Ensuite, on installe l'enrouleur en logeant la deuxième branche de piètement (112) sous l'auvent (13), contre le ressort (19) riveté à la butée, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le comprimer. Comme le montre la figure 4a, suite au mouvement ①, la première branche de piètement (111) est tout d'abord réceptionnée par la lame (7) maintenue en position haute (position de repos) par le ressort (8). Sous l'effet de la poussée, le bras (5) fait office de béquille et exerce une force qui engendre le mouvement ②, provoquant la compression du ressort lame (19) par la deuxième branche de piètement (112). Le dispositif de l'invention se trouve en position de retenue, avec le support de l'enrouleur placé dedans comme le montre la figure 4b. La languette (12) est alors tournée pour venir par-dessus la première branche de piètement (111). L'enrouleur se retrouve ainsi immobilisé par le verrouillage réalisé grâce à cette languette (12). On voit que la butée cornière (13) est ouverte vers l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire du côté faisant face au bloc poussoir, de sorte que sa butée limite le mouvement de pénétration de la deuxième branche de piètement (112) dans la direction opposée au bloc poussoir. De même, le bras (5) du bloc poussoir exerce sur la tubulure formant la première branche de piètement (111) une poussée en direction de la butée cornière (13), c'est-à-dire vers l'intérieur. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le coulisseau lorsqu'il est bloqué ne peut pas se déplacer en s'écartant de l'autre butée.The introduction of the reel in the device takes place in two stages. It is first necessary to position the angle stop (13) adjustable to ensure good compression of the leaf spring (19) when the winder is fixed on the device of the invention. For example, a distance x - 1cm will be chosen from the blade (7) of the pusher block when it is in the low position (retaining position) as can be seen in FIG. figure 4b , or at a distance of x - 2D + 1cm for the variant presented on the figure 17 , D representing the diameter of the tubing forming the leg branches (111, 112). It should be noted that the centimeter removed or added in the two preceding formulas substantially corresponds to the compression distance of the leaf spring (19). It is therefore possible to adapt this value to the properties of this leaf spring, or to give it up if there is no spring element in the angle stop. Then, the reel is installed by housing the second leg (112) under the awning (13) against the spring (19) riveted to the stop, without the need to compress. As shown in figure 4a following the movement ①, the first leg (111) is first received by the blade (7) held in the up position (rest position) by the spring (8). Under the effect of the thrust, the arm (5) acts as a crutch and exerts a force that causes the movement ②, causing the compression of the leaf spring (19) by the second leg leg (112). The device of the invention is in the retaining position, with the support of the reel placed in it as shown in FIG. figure 4b . The tongue (12) is then rotated to come over the first leg (111). The retractor is thus immobilized by the locking made with this tongue (12). It can be seen that the angle stop (13) is open towards the inside, that is to say on the side facing the push block, so that its stop limits the movement of penetration of the second leg (112). in the opposite direction to the push block. Similarly, the arm (5) of the pusher block exerts on the tubing forming the first leg leg (111) a thrust in the direction of the abutment angle (13), that is to say towards the inside. In this embodiment, the slider when locked can not move away from the other stop.

Une variante de ce dispositif permet le blocage d'un enrouleur de gabarit x plus grand, pour une même longueur du châssis. Comme le montrent les figures 15 et 16, le bloc poussoir (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) avec son moyen de verrouillage (10, 11, 12) et la butée à auvent (13) avec le moyen de blocage (14, 15, 17, 18, 19) ont été permutés dans leur position tout en gardant leur orientation. Dans ce cas de figure, l'usinage de la lumière dans le châssis est réalisé à un endroit plus proche de l'axe de rotation de la semelle (1) par rapport au châssis (2) matérialisé par le système vis-écrou (3). Comme le montre la figure 17, lors du mouvement ①, la butée cornière (13) est ouverte vers l'extérieur et bloque un mouvement de la première branche de piètement (111) en direction du bloc poussoir tandis que le bras (5) exerce sur la tubulure formant la deuxième branche de piètement (112) de l'enrouleur une traction en direction opposée à la butée cornière (13), c'est-à-dire vers l'extérieur, ce qui provoque la compression du ressort lame (19), résultat du mouvement ②. Dans ce cas, l'orientation des parois inclinées de la gorge (20) sera inversée de sorte que le coulisseau ne pourra pas se déplacer en direction de l'autre moyen de retenue sous l'effet de la traction exercée par la béquille.A variant of this device allows the blocking of a larger x template winder, for the same length of the frame. As shown by Figures 15 and 16 , the pusher block (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with its locking means (10, 11, 12) and the awning stop (13) with the locking means (14, 15, 17, 18, 19 ) were swapped in their position while keeping their orientation. In this case, the machining of the light in the frame is made at a location closer to the axis of rotation of the sole (1) relative to the frame (2) materialized by the screw-nut system (3). ). As shown in figure 17 during the movement ①, the angle stop (13) is open towards the outside and blocks a movement of the first leg (111) in the direction of the push block while the arm (5) exerts on the tubing forming the second leg of the leg ( 112) of the winder pulling in the direction opposite to the angle stop (13), that is to say outwardly, which causes the compression of the leaf spring (19), result of the movement ②. In this case, the orientation of the inclined walls of the groove (20) will be reversed so that the slide can not move towards the other retaining means under the effect of the traction exerted by the stand.

Les figures 18 montrent un exemple de réalisation d'une butée à auvent dont la hauteur peut être ajustée à la hauteur du piètement. Pour cela, la butée à auvent est réalisée avec deux cornières (21, 22) côte à côte et tête-bêche. La première cornière (21) sert de butée cornière, la deuxième (22) de base pour la raccorder à la base (2). La première aile (211) de la première cornière remplit la fonction d'auvent et la deuxième (212) celle de butée. La face extérieure de la deuxième aile (212) est munie de deux vis (213) placées de part et d'autre d'une troisième vis (216) remplaçant le rivet pour la fixation du ressort lame (19). La première aile (221) de la deuxième cornière est munie de trois lumières verticales parallèles (223, 224) et sa deuxième aile (222) d'un alésage (225). Les deux vis extérieures (213) de la première cornière traversent les deux lumières (223) correspondantes de la deuxième cornière (22). Ces deux vis (213) peuvent se déplacer dans ces deux lumières (223) permettant ainsi un ajustement de la hauteur de la première cornière par rapport à la deuxième. Lorsque le ressort lame (19) est fixé par un rivet plutôt que par un système vis-écrou, la tête de rivet peut se déplacer dans la troisième lumière (224) placée entre les deux premières (223). Quand la première cornière a atteint la hauteur souhaitée, deux écrous (215) sont vissés sur les deux vis (213) jusqu'à ce que la première cornière (21) soit fermement fixée sur la seconde (22). On voit également sur les figures 18a et 18c les deux ergots de guidage (16). La deuxième aile (222) de la deuxième cornière sert de base pour fixer l'ensemble au châssis (2). La vis (15) du coulisseau (17) peut être reçue dans l'alésage (225) pour assurer le bon positionnement de la butée auvent sur le châssis. Les vis (213), les lumières (223) et les écrous (225) remplissent la fonction de moyen d'ajustement de la hauteur de l'auvent. Il est possible de fixer le ressort lame (19) par un système vis-écrou (216, 217) plutôt que par un rivet. Dans ce cas, on peut prévoir comme sur les figures 18 que la vis (216) passe non seulement dans la lumière centrale (224) de la première aile de la seconde cornière, mais également dans une lumière (214) réalisée dans la deuxième aile (212) de la première cornière. Il est ainsi possible de régler également la hauteur du ressort lame (19) dans la butée cornière.The figures 18 show an embodiment of an awning stop whose height can be adjusted to the height of the base. For this, the awning stop is made with two angles (21, 22) side by side and head to tail. The first angle (21) serves as an angle stop, the second (22) base to connect it to the base (2). The first wing (211) of the first angle performs the function of awning and the second (212) that of stop. The outer face of the second wing (212) is provided with two screws (213) placed on either side of a third screw (216) replacing the rivet for fixing the leaf spring (19). The first wing (221) of the second angle is provided with three parallel vertical lights (223, 224) and its second wing (222) with a bore (225). The two outer screws (213) of the first angle pass through the two corresponding slots (223) of the second angle (22). These two screws (213) can move in these two slots (223) thus allowing adjustment of the height of the first angle relative to the second. When the leaf spring (19) is secured by a rivet rather than a screw-and-nut system, the rivet head can move into the third lumen (224) between the first two (223). When the first angle has reached the desired height, two nuts (215) are screwed on the two screws (213) until the first angle (21) is firmly fixed to the second (22). We also see on Figures 18a and 18c the two guide pins (16). The second wing (222) of the second angle serves as a base for fixing the assembly to the frame (2). The screw (15) of the slide (17) can be received in the bore (225) to ensure the correct positioning of the awning stop on the frame. The screws (213), the lights (223) and the nuts (225) fulfill the function of adjusting the height of the awning. It is possible to fix the leaf spring (19) by a screw-nut system (216, 217) rather than by a rivet. In this case, we can predict how figures 18 that the screw (216) passes not only into the central lumen (224) of the first wing of the second angle, but also into a lumen (214) made in the second wing (212) of the first angle. It is thus possible to adjust also the height of the leaf spring (19) in the angle stop.

L'homme du métier comprend que les exemples de réalisation présentés ici n'ont pas un caractère limitatif. Notamment les modifications suivantes peuvent être apportées :

  • Le système de coulisseau DDT coopérant avec une surface de lumière réalisée par une fraise conique peut être remplacé par tout autre moyen de blocage pour bloquer le mouvement relatif des deux moyens de retenue. Un simple système de vis-écrou peut dans certains cas suffire. Il pourrait être complété par des crans de type crémaillère réalisés sur le châssis et sur la base (14) de la butée ou tout autre élément assurant un effet de friction.
  • La butée cornière peut être remplacée par tout autre type de griffe susceptible d'une part de limiter le mouvement d'introduction de la branche de piètement et d'autre part d'empêcher son soulèvement lors de l'enroulement ou le déroulement.
  • La lame de verrouillage (12) pourrait agir directement sur l'un des bras rigides (5) plutôt que sur la branche de piètement (111, 112).
  • Le ressort lame (19) peut être remplacé par tout autre élément compressible adapté. Il est même possible d'y renoncer dans les modes de réalisation les plus simples.
  • Plutôt qu'une semelle pivotante destinée à être déployée sur le côté du dérouleur, on peut envisage de prévoir deux semelles plus courtes semblables destinées à être placées après pivotement dans l'alignement du châssis de sorte que l'utilisateur peut poser ses deux pieds de part et d'autre de l'enrouleur. Une solution semblable, mais plus encombrante, consiste à prolonger le châssis au moins d'un côté, de préférence des deux côtés, pour former des appuis pour les pieds d'un côté de l'enrouleur ou de part et d'autre de l'enrouleur.
  • Les différentes pièces du dispositif de retenue de l'invention peuvent être réalisées en tout matériau approprié. Par exemple, les plaques formant la semelle (1) et le châssis (2) peuvent être réalisées en une matière plastique telle que du PVC, en bois ou en métal. Les bras rigides de la béquille et la lame servant de deuxième butée peuvent être en PVC ou métalliques. La chape (6), en aluminium dans le présent exemple, pourrait être réalisée dans un autre métal ou en matière plastique. La lame de verrouillage et son écrou peuvent être métalliques ou en matière plastique. La fixation des différentes pièces entre elles peut se faire par exemple par rivetage, soudure ou collage, et notamment par thermosoudage.
  • Ce n'est pas nécessairement le premier moyen de blocage (butée cornière) qui doit être mobile par rapport au châssis et au deuxième moyen de blocage. Il serait également possible de monter les deux bras de la béquille et la seconde butée sur une platine fonctionnant de la même manière que la lame (14) constituant la base de la butée à cornière (13).
Those skilled in the art understand that the exemplary embodiments presented here are not limiting in nature. In particular, the following changes can be made:
  • The DDT slide system cooperating with a light surface made by a conical bur can be replaced by any other locking means to block the relative movement of the two retaining means. A simple screw-nut system can in some cases suffice. It could be completed by rack-type notches made on the frame and on the base (14) of the stop or any other element ensuring a friction effect.
  • The angle stop can be replaced by any other type of claw likely on the one hand to limit the introduction movement of the leg leg and on the other hand to prevent its lifting during winding or unwinding.
  • The locking blade (12) could act directly on one of the rigid arms (5) rather than on the leg (111, 112).
  • The leaf spring (19) can be replaced by any other suitable compressible element. It is even possible to give it up in the simplest embodiments.
  • Rather than a pivoting sole intended to be deployed on the side of the unwinder, it is envisaged to provide two similar shorter soles intended to be placed after pivoting in the alignment of the frame so that the user can rest his two feet of both sides of the winder. A similar but more cumbersome solution is to extend the frame at least on one side, preferably on both sides, to form footrests on one side of the reel or on both sides of the reel. reel.
  • The different parts of the retaining device of the invention can be made of any suitable material. For example, the plates forming the sole (1) and the frame (2) may be made of a plastic material such as PVC, wood or metal. The rigid arms of the stand and the blade acting as a second stop may be PVC or metal. The yoke (6), aluminum in the present example, could be made of another metal or plastic. The locking blade and its nut may be metal or plastic. Fixing the different parts together can be done for example by riveting, welding or gluing, and especially by heat sealing.
  • This is not necessarily the first locking means (angle stop) which must be movable relative to the frame and the second locking means. It would also be possible to mount both arms of the stand and the second stop on a turntable operating in the same manner as the blade (14) constituting the base of the angle stop (13).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné à immobiliser avec le pied un enrouleur, laissant ainsi les mains libres à l'utilisateur pour enrouler un câble électrique ou autre flexible sur le tambour d'un enrouleur.The device according to the invention is intended to immobilize with the foot a winder, leaving hands free for the user to wind an electric cable or other flexible drum on a winder.
