Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

La présente invention concerne un outil de coupe manuel, c'est-à-dire un outil de coupe destiné à être utilisé et manipulé directement par un utilisateur. Il peut par exemple s'agir d'une pince d'électricien.The present invention relates to a manual cutting tool, that is to say a cutting tool intended to be used and handled directly by a user. It may for example be an electrician's pliers.

ETAT DE L'ARTSTATE OF THE ART

Un outil de coupe 10 du type pince d'électricien, telle que celle représentée aux figures 1 et 2, comprend deux branches 12 articulées autour d'un axe X. Chaque branche 12 comporte une première portion 14 de préhension de l'outil par un utilisateur et une seconde portion de coupe 16, les portions 14, 16 étant séparées l'une de l'autre par l'axe X.A cutting tool 10 of the electrician's pliers type, such as that shown in figures 1 and 2 , comprises two branches 12 articulated around an axis X. Each branch 12 comprises a first portion 14 for gripping the tool by a user and a second cutting portion 16, the portions 14, 16 being separated from one another. 'other by the X axis.

Les portions de coupe 16 comportent des bords de coupe 18 qui définissent une section A (figure 2) de passage d'un élément 20 à couper, qui est par exemple l'extrémité libre d'un collier de serrage de câbles électriques, comme représenté en figure 3. La section A est plane et s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe X (figure 2).The cutting portions 16 have cutting edges 18 which define a section A ( figure 2 ) passage of an element 20 to be cut, which is for example the free end of an electric cable clamp, as shown in figure 3 . Section A is planar and extends substantially perpendicular to the X axis ( figure 2 ).

Cet outil est configuré de sorte qu'une articulation des branches 12 autour de l'axe X provoque un rapprochement des bords de coupe 18 et une coupe de l'élément 20, comme représenté en figure 4. Lors de cette coupe, la partie découpée et retirée de l'élément 20 est soumise à un effort de coupe relativement important (force F) qui entraîne une projection de cette partie, en particulier lorsque cette partie est de petites dimensions. Cette projection peut entraîner des risques pour l'utilisateur (projection dans les yeux) mais peut également entraîner une pollution de l'environnement ou d'un produit fini.This tool is configured so that an articulation of the branches 12 around the X axis causes the cutting edges 18 to come together and the element 20 to cut, as shown in figure 4 . During this cut, the cut and removed part of the element 20 is subjected to a relatively large cutting force (force F) which causes this part to be projected, in particular when this part is small. This projection can entail risks for the user (projection in the eyes) but can also cause pollution of the environment or of a finished product.

L'état de l'art comprend notamment le document US-A1-2004/0158993 qui décrit une paire de ciseaux équipée d'un organe de guidage d'une feuille de papier lors de sa découpe. Cet organe est rigide et comprend une fente d'insertion et de guidage de la feuille de papier, si bien qu'il ne recouvre pas intégralement la section de coupe des ciseaux. D'autres exemples sont aussi connus des documents US -A1- 3,680,210 ; US- A1_6,151,783 et US-A1-4,247,983 .The state of the art includes in particular the document US-A1-2004 / 0158993 which describes a pair of scissors equipped with a member for guiding a sheet of paper during its cutting. This member is rigid and includes a slot for inserting and guiding the sheet of paper, so that it does not completely cover the cutting section of the scissors. Other examples are also known from documents US -A1- 3,680,210 ; US- A1_6,151,783 and US-A1-4,247,983 .

EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention propose un perfectionnement à la technologie précitée, qui est simple, efficace et économique, et permet de protéger notamment l'utilisateur de l'outil.The present invention proposes an improvement to the aforementioned technology, which is simple, efficient and economical, and makes it possible in particular to protect the user of the tool.

L'invention propose à cet effet un outil de coupe manuel, comportant deux branches articulées autour d'un axe, chaque branche comportant une première portion de préhension de l'outil par un utilisateur et une seconde portion de coupe, lesdites première et seconde portions étant séparées l'une de l'autre par ledit axe, les secondes portions des branches comportant des bords de coupe qui définissent une section de passage d'un élément à couper, l'outil étant configuré de sorte qu'une articulation des branches autour dudit axe provoque un rapprochement des bords de coupe des branches et une coupe dudit élément, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre un organe de protection de l'utilisateur, qui est réalisé dans un matériau transparent, ledit organe s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à ladite section de passage et la recouvrant intégralement, et étant flexible dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à ladite section de passage.The invention provides for this purpose a manual cutting tool, comprising two branches articulated around an axis, each branch comprising a first portion for gripping the tool by a user and a second cutting portion, said first and second portions. being separated from each other by said axis, the second portions of the branches comprising cutting edges which define a passage section of an element to be cut, the tool being configured so that an articulation of the branches around of said axis brings together the cutting edges of the branches and a cut of said element, characterized in that it further comprises a member for protecting the user, which is made of a transparent material, said member extending substantially parallel to said passage section and covering it entirely, and being flexible in a plane substantially perpendicular to said passage section.

Dans la présente demande, on entend par un matériau transparent, un matériau à travers lequel un utilisateur peut apercevoir l'élément à couper. Bien qu'il recouvre la section précitée, l'organe de protection ne gêne donc pas la visibilité de l'utilisateur lors de la coupe de l'élément.In the present application, a transparent material is understood to mean a material through which a user can see the element to be cut. Although it covers the aforementioned section, the protective member therefore does not interfere with the visibility of the user when cutting the element.

On entend en outre par flexible, l'aptitude de l'organe à se déformer élastiquement sur une amplitude donnée. Cette flexibilité dans le plan perpendiculaire à la section de passage permet à l'organe de ne pas gêner la coupe de l'élément lorsque la partie à retirer de cet élément est longue ou encombrante. En effet, cette partie à découper et retirer est destinée à prendre appui sur l'organe et à provoquer sa flexion de sorte que l'utilisateur puisse positionner correctement l'outil en vue de la coupe.The term “flexible” is also understood to mean the ability of the member to deform elastically over a given amplitude. This flexibility in the plane perpendicular to the passage section allows the member not to interfere with the cutting of the element when the part to be removed from this element is long or cumbersome. Indeed, this part to be cut and removed is intended to bear on the member and to cause its bending so that the user can correctly position the tool for the purpose of cutting.

L'outil 110 est configuré de sorte qu'une articulation des branches 112 autour de l'axe X provoque un rapprochement des bords de coupe 118 et une coupe de l'élément 120, comme représenté en figure 6.The tool 110 is configured so that an articulation of the branches 112 around the X axis causes the cutting edges 118 to come together and the element 120 to cut, as shown in figure 6 .

Selon l'invention, l'outil 110 est équipé de l'organe de protection 130 pour protéger l'utilisateur et en particulier éviter que la partie découpée de l'élément 120 soit projetée vers l'utilisateur, en particulier dans ses yeux.According to the invention, the tool 110 is equipped with the protective member 130 to protect the user and in particular to prevent the cut part of the element 120 from being projected towards the user, in particular in his eyes.

Les surfaces 118b des portions 116, situées du côté opposé à la section A, sont inclinées l'une par rapport à l'autre et sont destinées à être recouvertes par l'organe 130, en particulier lorsque les bords de coupe 118 sont au voisinage l'un de l'autre.The surfaces 118b of the portions 116, located on the side opposite to the section A, are inclined with respect to one another and are intended to be covered by the member 130, in particular when the cutting edges 118 are in the vicinity. one of the other.

L'organe de protection 130 est réalisé dans un matériau transparent. Il peut s'agir d'un matériau plastique tel qu'un polycarbonate, par exemple du Lexan®. L'organe 130 s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à la section de passage A et la recouvre au moins en partie. Enfin, l'organe 130 est flexible dans un plan P sensiblement perpendiculaire à la section de passage A (flèche G). Sa flexibilité est par exemple telle qu'une extrémité de l'organe 130 peut être fléchie de quelques millimètres par déformation élastique.The protection member 130 is made of a transparent material. It can be a plastic material such as a polycarbonate, for example Lexan®. The member 130 extends substantially parallel to the passage section A and covers it at least in part. Finally, the member 130 is flexible in a plane P substantially perpendicular to the section of passage A (arrow G). Its flexibility is for example such that one end of the member 130 can be bent by a few millimeters by elastic deformation.

Dans l'exemple représenté, chaque branche 112 comprend un corps 112a central rigide, ici métallique, et une gaine 112b qui recouvre et entoure le corps 112a et qui est réalisée dans un matériau élastique. La gaine 112b peut être montée sur le corps 112a après fabrication, par exemple par engagement en force. En variante, la gaine 112b peut être montée et fixée sur le corps 112a par collage. La gaine 112b peut également être fabriquée in situ, par exemple par surmoulage.In the example shown, each branch 112 comprises a rigid central body 112a, here metallic, and a sheath 112b which covers and surrounds the body 112a and which is made of an elastic material. The sheath 112b can be mounted on the body 112a after manufacture, for example by force engagement. As a variant, the sheath 112b can be mounted and fixed to the body 112a by gluing. The sheath 112b can also be manufactured in situ, for example by overmolding.

La gaine 112b s'étend sur toute la longueur de la portion 114 de chaque branche, et s'arrête à proximité de la portion 116 de cette branche. Chaque portion 116 n'est ainsi pas recouverte par la gaine 112b. Chaque portion 116 est ainsi formée par une partie du corps 112a.The sheath 112b extends over the entire length of the portion 114 of each branch, and stops near the portion 116 of this branch. Each portion 116 is thus not covered by the sheath 112b. Each portion 116 is thus formed by a part of the body 112a.

Le matériau de la gaine 112b autorise des déformations élastiques de cette dernière en particulier par écartement de la gaine du corps 112a. En particulier, l'extrémité de la gaine 112b, située à proximité de l'axe X de chaque branche, peut être écartée par déformation élastique de façon à créer un logement 132 de réception d'une partie de l'organe 130.The material of the sheath 112b allows elastic deformations of the latter, in particular by separating the sheath from the body 112a. In particular, the end of the sheath 112b, located near the X axis of each branch, can be moved apart by elastic deformation so as to create a housing 132 for receiving part of the member 130.

L'organe de protection 130, mieux visible aux figures 7 à 9, a ici une forme plane. Il est formé d'une seule pièce, de préférence par une plaque, qui est en matériau plastique transparent comme expliqué dans ce qui précède.The protection device 130, better visible to figures 7 to 9 , here has a planar shape. It is formed in one piece, preferably by a plate, which is made of transparent plastic material as explained in the foregoing.

La plaque a ici une épaisseur e inférieure ou égale à 3mm et par exemple de l'ordre de 1mm. Elle a une forme générale allongée et présente une longueur globale L1 comprise entre 30 et 50mm et une largeur maximale L2 comprise entre 10 et 20mm.The plate here has a thickness e less than or equal to 3mm and for example of the order of 1mm. It has a generally elongated shape and has an overall length L1 of between 30 and 50mm and a maximum width L2 of between 10 and 20mm.

La plaque comprend essentiellement deux parties 134, 136, une première partie 134 s'étendant parallèlement à la section de passage A, à distance de celle-ci, et recouvrant cette section, et une seconde partie 136 de fixation à l'une des branches 112.The plate essentially comprises two parts 134, 136, a first part 134 extending parallel to the passage section A, at a distance therefrom, and covering this section, and a second part 136 for attachment to one of the branches. 112.

La première partie 134 a un contour périphérique en forme d'ogive. Elle comprend une extrémité libre en pointe et une extrémité opposée qui est reliée à la seconde partie 136. Cette seconde partie 136 est configurée pour être fixée de manière amovible à la branche 112.The first part 134 has a peripheral outline in the form of an ogive. It comprises a free pointed end and an opposite end which is connected to the second part 136. This second part 136 is configured to be removably attached to the branch 112.

La seconde partie 136 comprend une patte d'engagement, qui a ici une forme allongée. Cette patte comprend deux zones rectilignes 136a, 136b inclinées l'une par rapport à l'autre, ici d'un angle α de l'ordre de 160° environ. Une première zone rectiligne 136a s'étend depuis l'extrémité précitée de la première partie 134 du côté opposé à l'extrémité en pointe de la première partie, dans une direction sensiblement parallèle à un axe d'allongement de la première partie 134. Cette première zone rectiligne 136a s'étend entre la première partie 134 et la seconde zone rectiligne 136b.The second part 136 comprises an engagement tab, which here has an elongated shape. This tab comprises two rectilinear zones 136a, 136b inclined with respect to one another, here by an angle α of the order of approximately 160 °. A first rectilinear zone 136a extends from the aforementioned end of the first part 134 on the side opposite the pointed end of the first part, in a direction substantially parallel to an axis of elongation of the first part 134. This first rectilinear zone 136a extends between the first part 134 and the second rectilinear zone 136b.

L'angle α précité correspond sensiblement à l'angle entre les première et seconde portions 114, 116 de la branche 112, de façon à ce que, lorsque la seconde zone rectiligne 136b est alignée sur la première portion 114 de la branche, la première zone rectiligne 136a et la première partie 134 soient alignées sur la seconde portion 116 de cette branche.The aforementioned angle α substantially corresponds to the angle between the first and second portions 114, 116 of the branch 112, so that, when the second rectilinear zone 136b is aligned with the first portion 114 of the branch, the first rectilinear zone 136a and the first part 134 are aligned with the second portion 116 of this branch.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la patte de l'organe 130 et en particulier sa seconde zone rectiligne 136b est destinée à être engagée au moins en partie dans le logement 132 précité. En position de montage, la pointe de l'ogive de la première partie 134 de l'organe 130 est destinée à être alignée sur la pointe ou extrémité libre de la seconde portion 116 de la branche, comme cela est visible en figure 5.In the example shown, the tab of the member 130 and in particular its second rectilinear zone 136b is intended to be engaged at least in part in the aforementioned housing 132. In the assembly position, the tip of the ogive of the first part 134 of the member 130 is intended to be aligned with the tip or free end of the second portion 116 of the branch, as can be seen in figure 5 .

L'outil 110 peut être équipé de l'organe 130 de la façon suivante. La patte est insérée en force dans le logement 132. Cette étape est réalisée par l'utilisateur qui vient soulever avec la patte la gaine 112b située sur le corps 112a de la branche. La patte prend alors appui sur le corps 112a de la branche et est maintenue rigidement contre ce corps par retour élastique de la gaine 112b. L'organe 130 est alors dans la position représentée à la figure 5.Tool 110 can be fitted with member 130 as follows. The tab is inserted by force into the housing 132. This step is performed by the user who comes to lift with the tab the sheath 112b located on the body 112a of the branch. The tab then bears on the body 112a of the branch and is held rigidly against this body by elastic return of the sheath 112b. The member 130 is then in the position shown in figure 5 .

L'outil 130 peut alors être utilisé. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite couper l'extrémité d'un collier de serrage par exemple (figure 6), il positionne l'outil de sorte que l'extrémité à découper traverse la section A et que les bords de coupe 118 de l'outil soient correctement positionnés. L'utilisateur peut voir l'élément 120 à travers l'organe 130 qui est en matériau transparent. Par ailleurs, dans le cas où la partie à retirer aurait une certaine longueur, elle pourrait, lors de la coupe, prendre appui sur l'organe 130 et le forcer à fléchir dans le plan P sensiblement perpendiculaire à la section A (flèche G). Cette déformation élastique par flexion est également autorisée pour ne pas gêner l'opération de coupe et le positionnement de l'outil.Tool 130 can then be used. When the user wishes to cut the end of a hose clamp for example ( figure 6 ), it positions the tool so that the end to be cut passes through section A and the cutting edges 118 of the tool are correctly positioned. The user can see the element 120 through the element 130 which is made of transparent material. Moreover, in the event that the part to be removed would have a certain length, it could, during cutting, bear on the member 130 and force it to bend in the plane P substantially perpendicular to section A (arrow G) . This elastic deformation by bending is also authorized so as not to interfere with the cutting operation and the positioning of the tool.

L'organe 130 est ici amovible et peut être remplacé par un neuf en cas d'usure par exemple. Il peut aisément équiper d'autres types d'outil. Dans la mesure où l'outil ne comprendrait pas de gaine pour la fixation de l'organe, il est envisageable que l'organe comprenne des moyens de fixation tels qu'un collier de serrage. Il est également envisageable que l'organe soit monté à demeure sur l'outil. Il est aussi possible qu'il soit escamotable depuis une position d'utilisation à une position rangée.The member 130 is here removable and can be replaced by a new one in the event of wear, for example. It can easily be fitted with other types of tool. Insofar as the tool would not include a sheath for fixing the member, it is conceivable that the member comprises fixing means such as a clamp. It is also conceivable that the member is permanently mounted on the tool. It is also possible that it can be retracted from a position of use to a stowed position.
