Description

La présente invention est relative à un outil de vissage-dévissage à accessoires multiples, du type décrit dans le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a screwing-unscrewing tool with multiple accessories, of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.

Dans des outils connus de ce type, chaque accessoire est constitué par une tête de travail venue de matière à l'extrémité d'une tige escamotable montée sur la poignée. Chaque accessoire nécessite donc une tige complète, qui ne travaille qu'à une extrémité. L'outil est par suite relativement lourd, encombrant et coûteux.In known tools of this type, each accessory consists of a working head integrally formed at the end of a retractable rod mounted on the handle. Each accessory therefore requires a complete rod, which only works at one end. The tool is therefore relatively heavy, bulky and expensive.

L'invention a pour but de fournir un outil ayant au moins les mêmes fonctionnalités que ces outils connus mais possédant une construction plus compacte, plus légère et plus économique, et permettant à l'utilisateur final de définir la série d'accessoires de son choix en fonction de ses besoins.The invention aims to provide a tool having at least the same functionality as these known tools but having a more compact, lighter and more economical construction, and allowing the end user to define the series of accessories of his choice. according to his needs.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un outil à accessoires multiples du type précité, caractérisé par sa partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the invention is a tool with multiple accessories of the aforementioned type, characterized by its characterizing part of claim 1.

Cet outil peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques décrites dans les revendications 2 à 14.This tool may include one or more of the characteristics described in claims 2 to 14.

  • Figure 8 is a side view of the same store, taken along arrow VIII of Figure 6.

L'outil 1 représenté aux Figures 1 et 2 est constitué essentiellement d'une monture 2 formant poignée, de forme allongée, munie à chaque extrémité d'un axe d'articulation, 3, 4 respectivement, ces deux axes reliant deux flasques latéraux 5, 6. Un porte-embout 7 unique est articulé autour de l'axe 3, et un magasin à embouts 8 est articulé autour de l'axe 4.The tool 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists essentially of a frame 2 forming a handle, of elongated shape, provided at each end with a hinge pin, 3, 4 respectively, these two axes connecting two lateral flanges 5 , 6. A single bit holder 7 is articulated around the axis 3, and a bit magazine 8 is articulated around the axis 4.

Le porte-embout 7 est constitué d'une tige 9 à section hexagonale, recourbée, enroulée et montée rotative à frottement, à son extrémité proximale 9A, autour de l'axe 3. Cette tige est positionnée au voisinage du flasque 5 par des moyens d'entretoisement appropriés, non visibles sur le dessin.The bit holder 7 consists of a rod 9 with a hexagonal section, curved, wound and rotatably mounted with friction, at its proximal end 9A, around the axis 3. This rod is positioned in the vicinity of the flange 5 by means suitable bracing, not visible in the drawing.

Sur l'extrémité distale de cette tige 9 est fixé à demeure un manchon 10 dont la section a extérieurement une forme circulaire et qui définit intérieurement une cavité 11 en six-pans standard.On the distal end of this rod 9 is permanently fixed a sleeve 10 whose section has an outside circular shape and which internally defines a cavity 11 in standard hexagon.

Le porte-embout 7 peut être déplacé entre une position escamotée, dans laquelle il est entièrement contenu dans la poignée 2, et une position active déployée. De préférence, des moyens d'encliquetage (non représentés) définissent au moins une position active stable préférentielle du porte-embout, par exemple perpendiculaire à la direction générale de la poignée.The bit holder 7 can be moved between a retracted position, in which it is entirely contained in the handle 2, and an active deployed position. Preferably, latching means (not shown) define at least one preferable stable active position of the bit holder, for example perpendicular to the general direction of the handle.

Le magasin 8 est une pièce en matière plastique moulée de forme allongée qui comporte à une extrémité un moyeu 12 monté sur l'axe 4 et formant entretoise entre les deux flasques 5 et 6. Le reste de la longueur du magasin forme un support de forme générale plane, parallèle aux plans généraux des deux flasques et adjacent au flasque 6. La face latérale 13 de ce support tournée vers le flasque 5 est pourvue d'une série de logements borgnes 14, au nombre de sept sur deux rangées dans cet exemple. Comme on le voit bien sur la Figure 2, les axes de ces logements sont parallèles entre eux et fortement inclinés par rapport à la perpendiculaire à la face 13. Les axes de chaque rangée sont contenus dans un même plan perpendiculaire à cette face.The magazine 8 is a molded plastic part of elongated shape which has at one end a hub 12 mounted on the axis 4 and forming a spacer between the two flanges 5 and 6. The rest of the length of the magazine forms a form support general plane, parallel to the general planes of the two flanges and adjacent to the flange 6. The lateral face 13 of this support facing the flange 5 is provided with a series of blind housings 14, seven in number in two rows in this example. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the axes of these housings are parallel to each other and strongly inclined relative to the perpendicular to the face 13. The axes of each row are contained in the same plane perpendicular to this face.

Chaque logement 14 est adapté pour recevoir le pied hexagonal 15 d'un embout mâle 16, dont la partie active 17 n'a été illustrée que de façon schématique. Tous les embouts ont le même pied 15 conjugué de la cavité 11 du porte-accessoire, et ils forment ensemble un jeu d'embouts dont les parties actives 17 correspondent par exemple à celles d'un jeu de clés mâles classiques, d'un jeu d'embouts de tournevis standards, etc., ou d'un panachage de divers types d'embouts.Each housing 14 is adapted to receive the hexagonal foot 15 of a male endpiece 16, the active part 17 of which has been illustrated only schematically. All the end pieces have the same base 15 conjugated with the cavity 11 of the accessory holder, and they together form a set of end pieces whose active parts 17 correspond for example to those of a set of conventional male keys, a set standard screwdriver bits, etc., or a mix of various types of tips.

Les pieds 15 peuvent être reçus à frottement dans la cavité 11 et dans les logements 14. En variante, il peut être prévu des moyens d'encliquetage séparables pour garantir leur maintien en place.The feet 15 can be frictionally received in the cavity 11 and in the housings 14. As a variant, it is possible to have separable snap-on means to guarantee that they are held in place.

Au repos, chaque logement 14 reçoit un embout 16. Le magasin 8 est rabattu suivant la flèche F1 de la Figure 2 et entièrement logé dans la partie inférieure de la poignée (en considérant les Figures 1 et 2). Les embouts sont alors maintenus en place à la fois par frottement ou encliquetage dans leurs logements et par le flasque 5. La forme de l'extrémité distale du magasin est effilée pour lui permettre de se loger exactement dans le profil des deux flasques 5 et 6, sous l'axe 3. De plus, le porte-embout 7, dépourvu de toute embout, est rabattu suivant la flèche F2 de la Figure 2 et, lui aussi, entièrement escamoté dans la poignée. Les positions escamotées du porte-accessoire et du magasin sont illustrés en traits mixtes sur la Figure 2.At rest, each housing 14 receives an end piece 16. The magazine 8 is folded down in the direction of arrow F1 in FIG. 2 and entirely housed in the lower part of the handle (considering Figures 1 and 2). The end pieces are then held in place both by friction or snap-fastening in their housings and by the flange 5. The shape of the distal end of the magazine is tapered to allow it to fit exactly in the profile of the two flanges 5 and 6 , under the axis 3. In addition, the bit holder 7, devoid of any tip, is folded down according to arrow F2 in Figure 2 and, too, fully retracted in the handle. The retracted positions of the accessory holder and the magazine are shown in phantom in Figure 2.

Pour utiliser l'outil, on sort de la poignée le porte-embout 7, par rotation autour de l'axe 3, jusqu'à sa position active désirée, et on sort également le magasin 8 de la poignée, ceci à la manière de lames d'un "couteau suisse". On sort l'embout 16 sélectionné de son logement 14, on en emboîte le pied 15 dans la cavité 11, et on utilise la poignée comme organe de transmission de couple.To use the tool, the bit holder 7 is removed from the handle, by rotation about the axis 3, to its desired active position, and the magazine 8 is also removed from the handle, this in the manner of blades of a "Swiss knife". The selected end piece 16 is removed from its housing 14, the foot 15 is fitted into the cavity 11, and the handle is used as a torque transmission member.

Il est à noter que l'utilisateur peut garnir le magasin 8 d'un jeu d'embouts standards différent du jeu d'embouts 16. De plus, le même outil peut être livré avec des jeux d'embouts différents suivant les besoins des clients.It should be noted that the user can fill the magazine 8 with a set of standard tips different from the bit set 16. In addition, the same tool can be delivered with different bit sets according to customer needs.

L'outil 21 des Figures 3 et 4 diffère du précédent sous deux aspects.Tool 21 in Figures 3 and 4 differs from the previous one in two ways.

D'une part, deux porte-accessoire sont montés côte-à-côte à rotation, par une extrémité, sur l'axe 3: un porte-douille 27 et un support 38 de porte-embout. D'autre part, le magasin 28 est un magasin à embouts femelles ou douilles.On the one hand, two accessory holders are mounted side-by-side in rotation, at one end, on the axis 3: a socket holder 27 and a support 38 for the bit holder. On the other hand, the magazine 28 is a magazine with female tips or sockets.

Le porte-douille 27 est constitué d'une tige de section circulaire enroulée et montée rotative à frottement, par une extrémité, autour de l'axe 3. Son autre extrémité 31 est conformée en carré mâle standard.The socket holder 27 consists of a rod of circular section wound and rotatably mounted with friction, by one end, around the axis 3. Its other end 31 is shaped as a standard male square.

Le support 38 a la même structure que le porte-embout 7 des Figures 1 et 2 (tige hexagonale 29 enroulée et montée rotative à frottement autour de l'axe 3 et manchon 30), mais est de moindre longueur. La cavité d'extrémité 35 du manchon 30, en six-pans, est adaptée pour recevoir le pied hexagonal 39 d'un porte-embout amovible 40 standard de perceuse-visseuse, ce porte-embout ayant lui-même une cavité d'extrémité 41 à section hexagonale. Le porte-embout 40 peut être de tout type connu, par exemple à jonc, magnétique ou à verrouillage.The support 38 has the same structure as the bit holder 7 of Figures 1 and 2 (hexagonal rod 29 wound and rotatably mounted with friction around the axis 3 and sleeve 30), but is of shorter length. The end cavity 35 of the sleeve 30, in hexagon, is adapted to receive the hexagonal foot 39 of a removable bit holder 40 standard of drill driver, this bit holder itself having an end cavity 41 with hexagonal section. The bit holder 40 can be of any known type, for example with rod, magnetic or locking.

Le magasin 28 comporte, dans sa face latérale 33 tournée vers le flasque 5, des logements borgnes 34 plus grands que précédemment, adaptés pour recevoir à frottement un jeu de douilles interchangeables classiques (non représentées). Toutes les douilles ont d'un côté un même carré femelle d'entraînement, conjugué du carré mâle 31, et, de l'autre côté, elles ont des profils d'entraînement différents conjugués de ceux d'écrous standards.The magazine 28 comprises, in its lateral face 33 facing the flange 5, blind housings 34 which are larger than previously, adapted to frictionally receive a set of conventional interchangeable sockets (not shown). All sockets have on one side a same female drive square, conjugated to male square 31, and, on the other side, they have different drive profiles combined with those of standard nuts.

De plus, l'extrémité libre effilée du magasin 28 comporte une surépaisseur 42 munie de reliefs 43 d'encliquetage temporaire dans des évidements correspondants (non visibles sur le dessin) des flasques 5 et 6.In addition, the tapered free end of the magazine 28 includes an additional thickness 42 provided with reliefs 43 of temporary snap-fastening in corresponding recesses (not visible in the drawing) of the flanges 5 and 6.

L'utilisation la plus courante de l'outil 21 consiste à déployer uniquement le porte-douille 27 et le magasin 28, à extraire de ce dernier une douille sélectionnée, à en emboîter le carré femelle sur le carré mâle 31, et à exercer un couple au moyen de la poignée 2. Comme précédemment, des moyens d'encliquetage, notamment à bille chargée par un ressort, peuvent être prévus sur le carré mâle 31 afin de coopérer avec des évidements complémentaires ménagés dans le carré d'entraînement des douilles.The most common use of the tool 21 is to deploy only the socket holder 27 and the magazine 28, to extract from the latter a selected socket, to fit the female square on the male square 31, and to exert a torque by means of the handle 2. As before, latching means, in particular ball loaded by a spring, can be provided on the male square 31 in order to cooperate with complementary recesses formed in the square driving the sockets.

L'outil 21 peut cependant également servir d'outil de secours en cas de panne d'une perceuse-visseuse ou de problème d'accessibilité : l'embout de vissage ou le porte-embout peut alors être retiré de la perceuse-visseuse et emboîté dans la cavité 35, et le vissage/dévissage peut être poursuivi à la main au moyen de la poignée 2.The tool 21 can however also serve as a backup tool in the event of a drill-driver failure or accessibility problem: the screwdriver bit or the bit holder can then be removed from the drill-driver and fitted into the cavity 35, and the screwing / unscrewing can be continued by hand by means of the handle 2.

Bien entendu, on peut également emboîter dans la cavité 35 des embouts mâles interchangeables, ces derniers ne pouvant toutefois pas être rangés dans l'outil dans cet exemple.Of course, interchangeable male end pieces can also be fitted into the cavity 35, the latter however not being able to be stored in the tool in this example.

La Figure 5 représente en perspective un magasin à embouts mâles 48 qui diffère du magasin 8 des Figures 1 et 2 par la présence de la surépaisseur 42 à reliefs 43 d'encliquetage à son extrémité libre, et de reliefs 49 sur le moyeu 52, ces reliefs permettant l'encliquetage entre eux du porte-embout 7, et donc la solidarisation libérable de ce dernier et du magasin en position escamotée.Figure 5 shows in perspective a store with male end pieces 48 which differs from the store 8 of Figures 1 and 2 by the presence of the extra thickness 42 with reliefs 43 of latching at its free end, and of reliefs 49 on the hub 52, these reliefs allowing the bit holder 7 to snap together, and therefore the releasable connection between the latter and the store in the retracted position.

Les Figures 6 à 8 représentent une variante 58 du magasin 28 des Figures 3 et 4, dans laquelle le moyeu forme un crochet élastique 52 qui s'encliquette de façon amovible sur l'axe 4 de la poignée. Ainsi, on peut prévoir un jeu de magasins 58 interchangeables, correspondant, dans cet exemple, à plusieurs gammes de douilles toutes adaptables sur le carré mâle 31.Figures 6 to 8 show a variant 58 of the magazine 28 of Figures 3 and 4, in which the hub forms an elastic hook 52 which detachably snaps onto the axis 4 of the handle. Thus, a set of interchangeable magazines 58 can be provided, corresponding, in this example, to several ranges of sockets all adaptable to the male square 31.

Il est à noter que le crochet 52 permet d'accrocher le magasin 58 sur le cordon d'alimentation électrique d'une perceuse-visseuse.It should be noted that the hook 52 makes it possible to hang the magazine 58 on the electrical supply cord of a drill-driver.
