The present invention relates to the handle of a screwdriver, which handle is protected by a layer of synthetic material 12. The handle comprises a first section 3 which is shaped along the longitudinal axis of the screwdriver like an ellipsoid, essentially rotationally symmetrical and which, being slightly curved, becomes, in the zone of the first side of the handle, a section 4 in the shape of a cap, the first section in the zone of the second side of the handle evenly becoming a second section 5 which is essentially shaped as a rotationally symmetrical hyperboloid to which is connected an extension 6 shaped as a regular hexagonal prism in the longitudinal direction of the screwdriver. The layer 12 is placed non-removably over the screwdriver. Application to the manufacture of protected screwdrivers which are improved from the point of view of stability of the layer and more practical to operate.

Description

L'invention concerne une poignée d'un tournevis qui comprend un noyau de matière plastique dur servant de partie de base de la poignée et une couche d'une matière molle disposée par-dessus. A handle for a screwdriver includes a hard plastic core serving as the base portion of the handle and a layer of soft material disposed thereon.

Une poignée dtun tournevis comprenant à la fois un noyau dur qui absorbe les efforts de vissage et une couche plus molle disposée par-dessus est déjà connue. A handle of a screwdriver comprising both a hard core which absorbs the screwing forces and a softer layer placed on top is already known.

La forme de réalisation connue est caracté-risée par une couche de caoutchouc du type manchon collée de façon serrée sur le noyau de support dur. Comme cette couche est collée librement sur la poignée, elle se détache à la longue et tend à se détacher et peut même tourner autour du noyau en raison du couple assez important qu'on y applique, et ceci peut arriver particulièrement lorsqu'on serre des vis. The known embodiment is characterized by a layer of rubber of the sleeve type tightly bonded to the hard support core. As this layer is glued freely on the handle, it detaches in the long run and tends to come off and can even rotate around the core due to the fairly high torque that is applied to it, and this can happen especially when tightening screw.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir une poignée d'un tournevis dans laquelle la couche supérieure plus molle ne peut pas tourner autour du noyau plus dur et qui permet d'atteindre un couple optimal, c'est-å-dire un couple nominal de vissage. The object of the present invention is to provide a handle of a screwdriver in which the softer upper layer cannot rotate around the harder core and which allows an optimal torque, that is to say a torque nominal screwing.

Selon la présente invention, ce but ést atteint en prévoyant un noyau d'une poignée d'un tournevis qui comprend une première section qui est formée le long de son axe longitudinal comme un ellipsoïde essentiellement symétrique en rotation, de telle sorte que ce dernier, courbé régulierement, se développe dans la zone du premier côté de la poignée pour former une section en forme de chapeau, et que dans la zone du second côté de la poignée, cette première section se transforme tout doucement en une seconde section qui est conformée essentiellement comme un hyperboloïde symétrique en rotation auquel se raccorde une extension conformée comme un prisme hexagonal régulier dans la direction longitudinale du tournevis, une couche d'une matière plastique molle, de préférence un caoutchouc thermoplastique en ethylène-propylene, étant placée de façon inamovible sur la poignée. According to the present invention, this object is achieved by providing a core of a handle of a screwdriver which comprises a first section which is formed along its longitudinal axis like an ellipsoid which is essentially symmetrical in rotation, so that the latter, bent evenly, develops in the area on the first side of the handle to form a hat-shaped section, and that in the area on the second side of the handle, this first section slowly turns into a second section which is essentially shaped like a symmetrically rotating hyperboloid to which an extension shaped like a regular hexagonal prism in the longitudinal direction of the screwdriver is connected, a layer of soft plastic, preferably a thermoplastic ethylene-propylene rubber, being fixedly installed on the handle.

Selon la présente invention, le but recherché est atteint lorsque l'épaisseur de la couche de matière plastique adaptée au noyau est de 2 à 3 mm et que la dureté
Shore est de 65 à 80.
According to the present invention, the desired objective is achieved when the thickness of the plastic layer adapted to the core is 2 to 3 mm and the hardness
Shore is 65 to 80.

La présente invention va maintenant être décrite selon ' une forme de réalisation préférée en se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels
la figure 1 est une vue latérale d'un tournevis avec une poignée selon la présente invention
la figure 2 est une vue en section transversale d'une poignée selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1 ; et
la figure 3 est une section longitudinale d'un tournevis selon la ligne III-III de la figure 2.
The present invention will now be described in accordance with a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a side view of a screwdriver with a handle according to the present invention
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a handle along line II-II of Figure 1; and
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of a screwdriver along the line III-III of FIG. 2.

Une poignée d'un tournevis comprend un noyau 1 qui, dans le cas donné, est une matière plastique dure moulée par injection, par exemple de la cellulose d'acétate, un polyamide ou toute autre matière synthétique résistant au choc et dans laquelle une lame 2 de tournevis est insérée par moulage. Le noyau 1 comprend une première section 3 qui, le long de l'axe longitudinal du tournevis, est conformée comme un ellipsoïde essentiellement symétrique en rotation et qui, sur le premier côté de la poignée du tournevis, se développe en étant courbé de façon régulière pour former une section 4 en forme de chapeau, tandis que sur le second côté de la poignée, la premiere section 3, courbée de façon régulière, devient une seconde section 5 qui est essentiellement conformée comme un hyperboloïde, symétrique en rotation.Un élément d'extension conformé comme un prisme régulier hexagonal s'y raccorde dans l'axe longitudinal de la poignée de manière former un épaulement 7 avec la seconde section 5 du noyau 1. A handle of a screwdriver comprises a core 1 which, in the given case, is a hard plastic injection molded, for example acetate cellulose, a polyamide or any other synthetic material resistant to impact and in which a blade 2 of screwdriver is inserted by molding. The core 1 comprises a first section 3 which, along the longitudinal axis of the screwdriver, is shaped like an ellipsoid which is essentially symmetrical in rotation and which, on the first side of the handle of the screwdriver, develops by being bent evenly to form a hat-shaped section 4, while on the second side of the handle, the first section 3, curved regularly, becomes a second section 5 which is essentially shaped like a hyperboloid, symmetrical in rotation. 'extension shaped like a regular hexagonal prism is connected to it in the longitudinal axis of the handle so as to form a shoulder 7 with the second section 5 of the core 1.

La premiere section 3 du noyau 1 est prévue dans la direction longitudinale et sur deux côtés opposés diamétralement (figure 2), de telle manière qu'elle comprenne deux extensions 8, 9 de forme ovale en une vue latérale (figure 1) prévues pour que la conformation présente chaque fois une rainure longitudinale 10 sur le côté des extensions s'écartant de la lame 2. Sur les côtés gauche et droit des extensions 8, 9, on forme sur la circonférence deux rainures respectives 11 s'étendant longitudinalement. The first section 3 of the core 1 is provided in the longitudinal direction and on two diametrically opposite sides (Figure 2), so that it includes two oval-shaped extensions 8, 9 in a side view (Figure 1) provided so that the conformation has each time a longitudinal groove 10 on the side of the extensions deviating from the blade 2. On the left and right sides of the extensions 8, 9, two respective grooves 11 extending longitudinally are formed on the circumference.

On applique une couche 12 de matière synthétique, dans le cas présent, par moulage par injection, sur le noyau 1 de la poignée du tournevis, de préférence du caoutchouc thermoplastique éthylène-propylène. La couche 12 est appliquée uniformément sur le noyau 1 et son épaisseur est égale dans le sens radial à la dimension h des extensions 8, 9, et de préférence- sa valeur est de 2 à 3 mm, tandis que la dureté Shore de la couche 12 est de préférence de 65 à 80. A layer 12 of synthetic material is applied, in the present case, by injection molding, onto the core 1 of the handle of the screwdriver, preferably ethylene-propylene thermoplastic rubber. The layer 12 is applied uniformly to the core 1 and its thickness is equal in the radial direction to the dimension h of the extensions 8, 9, and preferably its value is 2 to 3 mm, while the Shore hardness of the layer 12 is preferably 65 to 80.

Les avantages de la poignée du tournevis selon la présente invention sont que la couche de caoutchouc 12 ne peut se détacher du noyau 1 et ne peut tourner sur ce dernier. La poignée selon la présente invention permet de faire tourner régulièrement et rapidement le tournevis lorsqu'on visse, et un couple extrêmement élevé peut être exercé lors du vissage des vis, tandis que les rainures 10, 11 conformées de façon ergonomique ne permettent pas que la paume de la main de l'utilisateur soit blessée.  The advantages of the handle of the screwdriver according to the present invention are that the rubber layer 12 cannot be detached from the core 1 and cannot rotate on the latter. The handle according to the present invention allows the screwdriver to be turned regularly and quickly when screwing, and an extremely high torque can be exerted when the screws are screwed, while the grooves 10, 11 ergonomically shaped do not allow the palm of the user's hand is injured.
