Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to a mechanical device capable of exerting a controlled elastic force.
- a prestressed elastic device comprising a prestressed elastic member having an elongated shape along an axis and forming an axial channel extending between first and second ends of this elastic member , and a prestressing cage of variable axial length up to a maximum length, engaged in the axial channel, and bearing on the first and second ends of the elastic member to keep them at a maximum distance from one of the other while allowing their reconciliation.
- the object of the invention is in particular to propose a prestressed elastic device, the manufacture or mounting of which is optimized thanks at least to a reduction in the cost of tooling, and / or to a reduction in the time of the assembly cycle. .
- the device of the invention is essentially characterized in that the cage comprises first and second spacers, each of which comprises two branches having ends respective free, and respective linked ends by which they join in a common base, the free ends of the branches of the first and second spacers being folded away from the axis to form first and second respective flanges, which respectively hold the first and second ends of the prestressed elastic member, and the spacers being linked to each other by their bases.
- the free ends of the branches of each spacer are resiliently biased at a distance from each other and from the axis, and applied against the prestressed elastic member.
- the spacers can thus be threaded one inside the other and mutually support one another by their bases.
- Each spacer is for example made of a spring steel, the pre-stressed elastic member being able to be a metal spring and / or a helical spring.
- This device may also include means for adjusting the maximum length of the cage. These adjustment means may for example comprise a median fold formed in the base of each spacer between the branches of this spacer, and projecting in the direction of the free ends of the branches of this spacer.
- These adjustment means may, as a variant, possibly comprise a boss formed in the base of one of the spacers, or a shim interposed between the bases of the spacers.
- the base of each spacer may advantageously be substantially circular to ensure good maintenance of the wedge.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of an elastic member before its integration into the device of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of two spacers, forming the elements of a cage according to a first variant, before the integration of this cage in the device of the invention;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of two spacers, forming the elements of a cage according to a second variant, before the integration of this cage in the device of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a cage according to the invention, comprising length adjusting means produced according to a preferred embodiment.
- the invention relates to a prestressed elastic device of the type which essentially comprises a prestressed elastic member 1, for example a steel coil spring, and a prestressing cage 2.
- this member has an elongated shape along a longitudinal axis X, and forms an axial channel 10 which extends between the ends 11 and 12 of this elastic member 1.
- the prestressed cage 2 which has an axial length variable up to a maximum length L0, is engaged in the axial channel 10 and bears on the ends 11 and 12 of the spring 1 to maintain them relative to each other at a maximum distance fixed by the maximum length L0 of this cage, while allowing the approximation of these ends 11 and 12.
- the cage 2 comprises two spacers 3 and 4.
- Each spacer itself comprises two branches, such as 31 and 32 for the spacer 3, and 41, 42 for the spacer 4.
- each spacer has respective free ends, such as 310, 320 and 410, 420, as well as respective linked ends, such as 311, 321 and 411, 421.
- Each of the spacers 3 and 4 has a base, such that 30 and 40, by which the linked ends, such as 311, 321 and 411, 421, join this spacer.
- the free ends 310, 320 and • 410, 420 of the branches of the spacers 3 and 4 are folded away from the axis X to form respective flanges, referenced 331 for the spacer 3, and 432 for the spacer 4.
- the flanges 331 and 432 defined by the spacers 3 and 4 have the function of maintaining the corresponding ends 11 and 12 of the spring 1, the spacers 3 and 4 being moreover linked to each other by their respective bases 30 and 40.
- Each spacer 3, 4 is for example made of spring steel and has an elasticity transverse to the axis X, more precisely in the direction of reconciliation and mutual distance of the branches 31, 32 and 41, 42. It is thus possible to ensure that the free ends 310, 320 and 410, 420 of the branches of each of the spacers 3 and 4 are resiliently biased at a distance from each other and from the axis X , and applied against the internal periphery of each of the corresponding ends 11 and 12 of the spring 1.
- the spacers 3 and 4 are preferably simply threaded one into the other, so that they mutually support each other by their respective bases 30 and 40.
- a boss such as 400 can be made in the base 40 of one of the spacers 3 and 4, so as to bring the flanges 331 and 432 closer to each other by a distance corresponding to the height of this boss.
- a shim of thickness 5 can be interposed between the bases 30 and 40 of the spacers 3 and 4.
- the bases 30 and 40 of the spacers 3 and 4 may be appropriate to give the bases 30 and 40 of the spacers 3 and 4 a substantially circular shape, so as to provide broad and stable support for the wedge 5.
- FIG. 5 the preferred embodiment of an adjustable maximum length cage 20 is illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the base 30, 40 of each spacer 3, 4 comprises a median fold such as 301, 401 disposed between the branches 31 and 32 or 41 and 42 of the spacer considered, and projecting in the direction of the free ends of these branches.
- the reciprocal support of the plies 301 and 401 one on the other constitutes a swiveling contact of the spacers 3 and 4 relative to each other, and the maximum length LO of the cage can be increased by plastic crushing of folds 301 and 401.
- the device of the invention can be used for many purposes, it finds a preferred application in hydraulic brake master cylinders, in which it allows the recall of a primary piston and / or the secondary piston, this corresponding application to mass production requiring very high reproducibility of performance.
