Description

L'invention concerne un nouveau dispositif mécanique permettant le montage d'un applicateur de colle ou autres matières, à tout type de perceuse ou visseuse électrique ou/et pneumatique.The invention relates to a new mechanical device allowing the mounting of an applicator of glue or other materials, to any type of electric or / and pneumatic drill or screwdriver.

Il existe déjà dans le commerce de nombreux matériels permettant l'application de colles et autres matières visqueuses. Ces matériels ont le principal désavantage de ne pas disposer d'un système quelconque de gestion de la quantité de matière à idéalement appliquer.There are already many materials on the market for the application of glues and other viscous materials. These materials have the main disadvantage of not having any system for managing the quantity of material to be ideally applied.

La conception d'un nouveau dispositif d'application de colle ou autre se posait donc qui pallierait les désavantages énoncés ci-avant et allierait les avantages d'une structure et d'un usage simples.The design of a new glue or other application device therefore arose which would overcome the disadvantages stated above and would combine the advantages of a simple structure and use.

Le but de l'invention est atteint avec ce nouveau dispositif d'application d'une matière contenue dans une cartouche ou enveloppe déformable amovible.The object of the invention is achieved with this new device for applying a material contained in a removable deformable cartridge or envelope.

Le dispositif mécanique comprend un corps principal recevant la cartouche ou enveloppe et un poussoir permettant d'exercer une force axiale sur un fond mobile de la cartouche ou de l'enveloppe déformable pendant l'application de la matière à l'aide d'une perceuse ou d'une visseuse motorisée.The mechanical device comprises a main body receiving the cartridge or casing and a pusher for exerting an axial force on a movable bottom of the cartridge or of the deformable casing during the application of the material using a drill. or a motorized screwdriver.

Pour se faire, le dispositif selon l'invention bénéficie d'une structure adaptée lui permettant d'être facilement et rapidement adaptable sur une simple perceuse ou visseuse électrique ou/et pneumatique du commerce, et de permettre par là même une application sans effort.To do so, the device according to the invention benefits from a suitable structure allowing it to be easily and quickly adapted to a simple commercial electric or / and pneumatic drill or screwdriver, and thereby to allow effortless application.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend :

  1. i) un corps principal (1) apte à recevoir une enveloppe déformable (ED) ou une cartouche comprenant un fond mobile (C), comprenant une matière visqueuse telle que de la colle ou du mastic, et
  2. ii) un poussoir (P) permettant d'exercer une force axiale sur le fond mobile de la cartouche ou sur la partie arrière de l'enveloppe déformable pour l'application d'une matière visqueuse,
  3. iii) un moyen de transmission (3) de force relié au poussoir (P) et conformé afin de faire translater ledit poussoir (P) par la transformation du mouvement rotatif, généré par une perceuse ou une visseuse motorisée (O), en mouvement linéaire, lorsque celle-ci est couplée audit moyen de transmission (3) par un axe d'entrée de force (6) du dispositif, et
  4. iv) au moins un bras de liaison (4) comportant deux demi-fourches (5, 5') permettant l'asservissement dans le sens horaire et antihoraire du corps principal (1) à une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée (O),
  5. v) un moyen mécanique de blocage (MS) en position du bras de liaison et des deux demi-fourches (5, 5'),
  6. vi) au moins un axe d'articulation supportant le moyen mécanique de blocage (MS) en position ;
lequel bras de liaison (4) s'articule autour dudit au moins un axe d'articulation et le moyen mécanique de blocage en position,
caractérisé en ce que ledit au moins un axe d'articulation est horizontal et perpendiculaire à l'axe (6).The device according to the invention comprises:
  1. i) a main body (1) adapted to receive a deformable envelope (ED) or a cartridge comprising a movable bottom (C), comprising a viscous material such as glue or mastic, and
  2. ii) a pusher (P) making it possible to exert an axial force on the movable bottom of the cartridge or on the rear part of the deformable casing for the application of a viscous material,
  3. iii) a force transmission means (3) connected to the pusher (P) and shaped in order to cause said pusher (P) to move by transforming the rotary movement, generated by a drill or a motorized screwdriver (O), into linear movement , when the latter is coupled to said transmission means (3) by a force input axis (6) of the device, and
  4. iv) at least one link arm (4) comprising two half-forks (5, 5 ') allowing clockwise and anti-clockwise slaving of the main body (1) to a motorized drill or screwdriver (O),
  5. v) a mechanical locking means (MS) in position of the link arm and the two half-forks (5, 5 '),
  6. vi) at least one hinge pin supporting the mechanical locking means (MS) in position;
which link arm (4) is articulated around said at least one articulation axis and the mechanical means for locking in position,
characterized in that said at least one articulation axis is horizontal and perpendicular to the axis (6).

Le brevet US 5,058,781 décrit un dispositif dans lequel le bras de liaison est réglable en longueur par un mouvement de translation. Maintenant, le dispositif décrit est tout à la fois coûteux du fait de sa complexité au regard du dispositif selon l'invention et peu efficace du fait de la structure de son bras de liaison.The patent US 5,058,781 describes a device in which the link arm is adjustable in length by a translational movement. Now, the device described is both expensive due to its complexity with regard to the device according to the invention and inefficient due to the structure of its link arm.

La demande internationale WO 2010/122558 décrit un dispositif dans lequel le bras de liaison est fixe avec un dispositif tout à la fois coûteux du fait de sa complexité en lien avec la translation du poussoir et, là encore, la faible efficacité du bras de liaison à empêcher la rotation de la perceuse.International demand WO 2010/122558 describes a device in which the link arm is fixed with a device which is at the same time expensive because of its complexity in connection with the translation of the pusher and, here again, the low efficiency of the link arm in preventing the rotation of the drill.

Le brevet DE 29510534 décrit un dispositif dans lequel le bras de liaison est fixe et peu efficace du fait de sa position à proximité de l'axe de rotation de la perceuse.The patent FROM 29510534 describes a device in which the link arm is fixed and inefficient due to its position near the axis of rotation of the drill.

Plus spécifiquement, le nouveau dispositif mécanique selon l'invention comprend un moyen de transmission de force relié au poussoir et conformé afin de faire translater ledit poussoir. Ce mouvement de translation est obtenu de manière classique et connue, faisant partie de l'état de l'art, par la transformation d'un mouvement rotatif, généré par un outil à main motorisé, fixé axialement au corps du dispositif d'application.More specifically, the new mechanical device according to the invention comprises a force transmission means connected to the pusher and shaped so as to cause said pusher to move. This translational movement is obtained in a conventional and known manner, forming part of the state of the art, by the transformation of a rotary movement, generated by a motorized hand tool, fixed axially to the body of the application device.

Pour rendre plus facilement compréhensible la description ci-après de l'invention, l'objet de la présente invention sera appelé par la suite tout simplement le "dispositif".To make the following description of the invention more easily understandable, the object of the present invention will hereinafter be referred to simply as the “device”.

Le dispositif est donc un accessoire capable d'être monté ou adapté sur un outil du commerce d'usage courant et communément appelé perceuse ou visseuse qui pallie de ce fait les désavantages décrits plus avant. En effet, le dispositif étant destiné à être adapté au corps d'une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée, le dispositif se trouve alors monté dans l'axe de fonctionnement de la perceuse ou visseuse électrique ou/et pneumatique. Le dispositif utilise comme moyen d'entraînement une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée dont le professionnel comme tout bricoleur dispose nécessairement. Ce détail a un impact direct et notable sur le coût de fabrication du dispositif qui sera très raisonnable du fait que celui-ci ne comporte pas de partie motrice.The device is therefore an accessory capable of being mounted or adapted on a commercial tool in common use and commonly called a drill or screwdriver which thereby overcomes the disadvantages described above. Indeed, the device being intended to be adapted to the body of a motorized drill or screwdriver, the device is then mounted in the operating axis of the electric or / and pneumatic drill or screwdriver. The device uses as drive means a motorized drill or screwdriver which the professional as any handyman necessarily has. This detail has a direct and significant impact on the cost of manufacturing the device, which will be very reasonable because it does not include a driving part.

La disposition axiale du corps du dispositif avec une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée, sur laquelle le dispositif est monté en « bout ». Une pièce mobile, en forme de fourche, adaptable à toutes les perceuses ou visseuses du commerce, asservit en position le dispositif en lui interdisant un mouvement de rotation, dans le sens horaire et antihoraire, autour de l'axe du mandrin de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée.The axial arrangement of the body of the device with a motorized drill or screwdriver, on which the device is mounted “end”. A fork-shaped movable part, adaptable to all commercial drills or screwdrivers, slaves the device in position by preventing it from rotating, clockwise and counterclockwise, around the axis of the drill chuck or motorized screwdriver.

Le moyen de transmission du dispositif est conformé pour être relié en rotation au mandrin de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée et transmettre le mouvement en rotation généré par la perceuse ou la visseuse électrique ou/et pneumatique, au dispositif comprenant le poussoir. Le poussoir est destiné à s'engager dans la partie arrière d'une cartouche ou appuyer sur une enveloppe déformable et prendre appui notamment sur un fond mobile de la cartouche afin de pouvoir exercer, lors de l'utilisation du dispositif, la pression nécessaire pour faire sortir le contenu de la cartouche ou de l'enveloppe par une buse disposée à l'extrémité opposée de la cartouche ou de l'enveloppe par rapport au fond mobile.The transmission means of the device is configured to be connected in rotation to the mandrel of the motorized drill or screwdriver and to transmit the rotational movement generated by the electric or / and pneumatic drill or screwdriver, to the device comprising the pusher. The pusher is intended to engage in the rear part of a cartridge or to press on a deformable casing and to rest in particular on a movable bottom of the cartridge in order to be able to exert, when using the device, the pressure necessary to exiting the contents of the cartridge or casing through a nozzle disposed at the opposite end of the cartridge or casing from the movable bottom.

Le dispositif caractérisant l'invention peut être réalisé de différentes façons et avec plusieurs matières, ceci ne modifiant en rien l'objet de l'invention. Différents matériaux sont utilisables tels que des feuilles de métal estampées ou embouties des alliages d'aluminium ou des matières synthétiques moulées. Ce dernier moyen de réalisation qui est apte à servir d'élément amortisseur de choc et de couple pendant le fonctionnement du dispositif sera préféré à d'autres pour d'évidents intérêts de coût, de fabrication, d'entretien et de poids. Il reste évident, à l'homme de l'art, que toutes les pièces constitutives du dispositif peuvent être réalisées en matières synthétiques et notamment l'arbre et son pas de vis.The device characterizing the invention can be produced in different ways and with several materials, this in no way modifying the subject of the invention. Various materials can be used such as stamped or stamped metal sheets, aluminum alloys or molded plastics. This latter embodiment, which is able to serve as a shock and torque damping element during operation of the device, will be preferred to others for obvious reasons of cost, manufacture, maintenance and weight. It remains obvious to those skilled in the art that all the constituent parts of the device can be made of synthetic materials and in particular the shaft and its screw thread.

Afin d'obtenir une force idéalement exploitable à l'aide du moyen de transmission du dispositif, un ensemble de type vis/écrou est avantageusement utilisé pour convertir le mouvement rotatif de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée en un mouvement de translation d'un arbre.In order to obtain an ideally exploitable force with the aid of the transmission means of the device, a screw / nut type assembly is advantageously used to convert the rotary movement of the motorized drill or screwdriver into a translational movement of a shaft.

A cet effet, le moyen de transmission comporte essentiellement une boîte d'engrenage, dite de démultiplication, mise en rotation par la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée et transmettant la force nécessaire à l'arbre du poussoir en transformant ce mouvement de rotation en un mouvement de translation.To this end, the transmission means essentially comprises a gearbox, called a reduction gearbox, rotated by the motorized drill or screwdriver and transmitting the necessary force to the pusher shaft by transforming this rotational movement into a movement of translation.

La boîte de démultiplication peut être conçue de différentes façons, toutes connues et faisant partie de l'état de l'art. L'objet même de l'invention ne concernant pas le moyen de transmission, celui-ci sera simplement évoqué et mentionné. Nous citons ici de manière non limitative et à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention.The gearbox can be designed in different ways, all of which are known and forming part of the state of the art. The very object of the invention does not relate to the means of transmission, it will simply be mentioned and mentioned. We cite here in a nonlimiting manner and by way of example an embodiment of the device according to the invention.

  • le dispositif comprend un bras mécanique, télescopique ou non, pour solidariser et asservir le dispositif à une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée, et lui interdire un mouvement de rotation horaire et antihoraire. De par la distance entre l'axe de rotation et point de liaison de la perceuse ou visseuse électrique et du corps du dispositif à l'extrémité des deux demi-fourches est possiblement le plus éloigné. Cette distance, facilement réglable grâce aux avantages de l'invention, fait que le mouvement de rotation horaire et antihoraire est notamment avantageusement interdit par la longueur du bras de liaison générant un important effet de levier représentant un moment mécanique idéal favorable à la diminution des contraintes sur le bras lui-même et la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée.
  • le bras mécanique de liaison du corps du dispositif à la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée s'articule sur un ou plusieurs axes, mais préférablement un et leurs moyens mécaniques de blocage en position.

The device according to the invention can, moreover, also comprise at least one of the characteristics below, considered in isolation or in any technically possible combination:
  • the device comprises a mechanical arm, telescopic or not, for securing and slaving the device to a motorized drill or screwdriver, and to prevent it from rotating clockwise and counterclockwise. From the distance between the axis of rotation and the connection point of the electric drill or screwdriver and the body of the device at the end of the two half-forks is possibly the furthest. This distance, easily adjustable thanks to the advantages of the invention, means that the clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation movement is in particular advantageously prohibited by the length of the link arm generating a significant leverage effect representing a moment. ideal mechanics favorable to the reduction of stresses on the arm itself and the motorized drill or screwdriver.
  • the mechanical arm connecting the body of the device to the motorized drill or screwdriver is articulated on one or more axes, but preferably one and their mechanical means for locking in position.

  • the figure 8b shows the link arm, in its telescopic version, in the folded position. The arrow “F3” explicitly shows the second linear sliding movement of the body of the device around the link arm. A locking means, MSB, allows the sliding body to be held in the folded position.

Comme cela est représenté sur la figure 1, un dispositif selon l'invention comprend un corps 1 pour recevoir une cartouche C ou une enveloppe déformable ED contenant un mastic, une colle ou toute matière comparable. Le dispositif comprend par ailleurs un moyen de transmission 3 pour recevoir un mouvement en rotation généré par un outil à main électrique tel qu'une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, attachée au corps 1 du dispositif par l'intermédiaire du bras de liaison 4 et pour transmettre ce mouvement en rotation par le biais du moyen de transmission 3 au poussoir P par l'intermédiaire de son arbre T.As shown in the figure 1 , a device according to the invention comprises a body 1 for receiving a cartridge C or a deformable envelope ED containing a mastic, an adhesive or any comparable material. The device further comprises a transmission means 3 for receiving a rotational movement generated by an electric hand tool such as a motorized drill or screwdriver O, attached to the body 1 of the device by means of the link arm 4 and for transmitting this rotational movement by means of the transmission means 3 to the pusher P via its shaft T.

La figure 2 représente le dispositif de l'invention en position de conditionnement ou de rangement. On peut observer sur la figure 2, plus particulièrement, le moyen de transmission 3 et son axe d'entrée de force 6 permettant d'être introduit et serré dans le mandrin ML d'une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, ainsi que le bras de liaison 4, supportant les deux demi-fourches 5 et 5' matérialisant une forme trapézoïdale TZ, retenu par une charnière MS en position repliée.The figure 2 represents the device of the invention in the packaging or storage. We can observe on the figure 2 , more particularly, the transmission means 3 and its force input shaft 6 making it possible to be introduced and clamped in the mandrel ML of a motorized drill or screwdriver O, as well as the link arm 4, supporting the two halves - 5 and 5 'forks materializing a trapezoidal TZ shape, retained by an MS hinge in the folded position.

La figure 4 représente schématiquement le premier mouvement d'engagement et de désengagement du dispositif sur une perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, plus précisément de son mandrin ML, sur l'embout de fixation 6 de la boîte de démultiplication 3. Pour l'engagement de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O sur l'embout 6, la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O est mue en translation le long de l'axe d'entrée de force 6 du dispositif en direction de la boîte de démultiplication 3.The figure 4 schematically represents the first movement of engagement and disengagement of the device on a motorized drill or screwdriver O, more precisely of its mandrel ML, on the attachment end 6 of the gearbox 3. For the engagement of the drill or motorized screwdriver O on the bit 6, the motorized drill or screwdriver O is moved in translation along the force input axis 6 of the device in the direction of the gearbox 3.

Au contraire, lors du désengagement de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O de l'embout de fixation 6, la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O est poussée en éloignement de la boîte de démultiplication 3.On the contrary, when the motorized drill or screwdriver O is disengaged from the attachment end 6, the motorized drill or screwdriver O is pushed away from the gearbox 3.

Le fonctionnement et la mise en œuvre du dispositif caractérisant l'invention s'effectue selon ce qui suit ;
Le corps principal du dispositif 1 figures : la, 4, 5, 6a, est présenté devant la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, l'embout de fixation 6 est inséré dans le mandrin ML de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, figure 4. Une fois le corps principal 1 solidarisé à la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O par l'intermédiaire de l'embout de fixation 6 et du mandrin ML, l'utilisateur déplie le bras de liaison 4 supportant les deux demi-fourches 5 et 5' et s'articulant sur un axe MS supportant un moyen mécanique de blocage en position, figure 7. Le bras de liaison 4 et ses deux demi-fourches 5 et 5' viennent alors enserrer, grâce à leur forme trapézoïdale TZ, les flancs FL et FL' de la batterie (corps) B positionnée sous la poignée PO de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O et/ou de la poignée de travail PT et s'y ajustent plus efficacement, figures 5 et 6a. Le bras de liaison 4, une fois en place sur la batterie (corps) B de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O, interdit toute possibilité de rotation dans le sens horaire et antihoraire, flèche SR, du corps 1 du dispositif autour de l'axe de rotation du mandrin ML de la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée O figures la, 5, 6b. Une fois cette opération effectuée, l'utilisateur positionne une cartouche C ou enveloppe déformable ED, figure la, de colle ou autre, dans l'évidement prévu à cet effet dans le corps principal 1. Cette procédure étant classique pour de nombreux autres matériels destinés à la même tâche.The operation and implementation of the device characterizing the invention is carried out according to the following;
The main body of the device 1 figures: 1a, 4, 5, 6a, is presented in front of the motorized drill or screwdriver O, the attachment end 6 is inserted into the ML chuck of the motorized drill or screwdriver O, figure 4 . Once the main body 1 is secured to the motorized drill or screwdriver O by means of the fixing tip 6 and the mandrel ML, the user unfolds the link arm 4 supporting the two half-forks 5 and 5 'and articulated on an MS axis supporting a mechanical means for locking in position, figure 7 . The link arm 4 and its two half-forks 5 and 5 'then clamp, thanks to their trapezoidal shape TZ, the flanks FL and FL' of the battery (body) B positioned under the handle PO of the motorized drill or screwdriver O and / or the PT work handle and adjust to it more effectively, figures 5 and 6a . The link arm 4, once in place on the battery (body) B of the motorized drill or screwdriver O, prohibits any possibility of clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, arrow SR, of the body 1 of the device around the axis of rotation of the ML chuck of the motorized drill or screwdriver O figures la, 5, 6b. Once this operation has been carried out, the user positions a cartridge C or deformable envelope ED, figure 1a, of glue or the like, in the recess provided for this purpose in the main body 1. This procedure is conventional for many other materials intended for this purpose. to the same task.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le bras de liaison 4, dans sa version télescopique, est constitué d'un corps 4' et d'un second corps 4" coulissant linéairement l'un dans l'autre, permettant le réglage précis de la longueur du bras de liaison 4 à la perceuse ou visseuse motorisée et sa batterie (corps) B ou/ et sa poignée de travail PT.In another embodiment, the link arm 4, in its telescopic version, consists of a body 4 'and a second body 4 "sliding linearly one inside the other, allowing the precise adjustment of the length of the link arm 4 to the motorized drill or screwdriver and its battery (body) B or / and its working handle PT.
