An Independent claim is included for a method of dispensing fuel using the trigger locking device.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de blocage de la détente d'un pistolet de distribution de carburant et un procédé de distribution de carburant.The present invention relates to a device for locking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun and a method of dispensing fuel.

Un pistolet classique de distribution de carburant comporte une détente qui commande la mise en marche et l'arrêt de la distribution de carburant. Cette détente peut basculer entre une position de distribution et une position de non-distribution, vers laquelle elle est rappelée par un organe élastique. Pour se servir en carburant, un utilisateur doit donc maintenir manuellement la détente dans la position de distribution, ce qui le force à ne rien faire d'autre qu'attendre dans une position souvent inconfortable durant la distribution de carburant et fatigue la main que cet utilisateur emploie pour agir continuellement sur la détente, à l'encontre de l'organe élastique.A conventional fuel dispensing gun has a trigger which controls the starting and stopping of the fuel dispensing. This trigger can switch between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position, towards which it is returned by an elastic member. To use fuel, a user must therefore manually maintain the trigger in the dispensing position, which forces him to do nothing but wait in an often uncomfortable position during fuel dispensing and tires the hand that this user uses to act continuously on the trigger, against the elastic member.

Un dispositif connu de blocage de la détente dans la position de distribution de carburant comprend une crémaillère portée par un pontet du pistolet, ainsi qu'un élément de verrouillage qui est monté à basculement à l'extrémité libre de la détente et peut être accroché manuellement à cette crémaillère, afin de retenir la détente dans la position de distribution. Le déblocage de la détente consiste à décrocher manuellement l'élément de verrouillage de la crémaillère, si bien que, dans les cas où la pompe à carburant reliée au pistolet s'arrête automatiquement dès que le réservoir à remplir est plein, l'utilisateur peut oublier d'effectuer ce déblocage avant de raccrocher le pistolet. Cela constitue un inconvénient, car, lorsqu'il sera décroché de nouveau, le pistolet risquera de se mettre à distribuer du carburant avant d'avoir été convenablement engagé dans l'entrée d'un nouveau réservoir à remplir. C'est pourquoi le dispositif de blocage qui vient d'être décrit a été retiré de la plupart des pistolets de distribution actuellement en service.A known device for locking the trigger in the fuel dispensing position comprises a rack carried by a trigger guard of the gun, as well as a locking element which is pivotally mounted at the free end of the trigger and can be hung manually to this rack, in order to retain the trigger in the dispensing position. The release of the trigger consists in manually unhooking the rack locking element, so that in cases where the fuel pump connected to the gun stops automatically as soon as the tank to be filled is full, the user can forget to perform this release before hanging the gun. This is a disadvantage because, when it is picked up again, the gun may start dispensing fuel before it has been properly engaged in the entry of a new tank to be filled. This is why the locking device which has just been described has been removed from the most dispensing guns currently in service.

L'invention, qui entend remédier à l'inconvénient précité, a donc au moins pour but de permettre de bloquer la détente d'un pistolet de distribution de carburant dans une position de distribution de carburant d'une manière telle qu'il soit sinon impossible, du moins très improbable que quelqu'un puisse oublier de débloquer cette détente après s'être servi en carburant.The invention, which intends to remedy the aforementioned drawback, therefore has at least the aim of making it possible to block the trigger of a fuel distribution gun in a fuel distribution position in such a way that it is otherwise impossible, at least very improbable that someone could forget to release this trigger after having used fuel.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de blocage de la détente d'un pistolet de distribution de carburant, ladite détente étant rappelée élastiquement vers une position de non-distribution de carburant, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un corps apte à être introduit entre un pontet du pistolet et ladite détente en position de distribution de carburant, puis à être coincé temporairement entre le pontet et la détente, de manière à maintenir la détente dans la position de distribution de carburant.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for blocking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun, said trigger being resiliently biased towards a position of non-dispensing of fuel, characterized in that it comprises a body suitable for being inserted between a trigger guard of the gun and said trigger in the fuel distribution position, then being temporarily wedged between the trigger guard and the trigger, so as to maintain the trigger in the fuel distribution position.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de ce dispositif de blocage sont définies par les revendications 2 à 8.Other advantageous characteristics of this blocking device are defined by claims 2 to 8.

L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de distribution de carburant, comprenant l'étape suivante :

  • (a) on place la détente d'un pistolet de distribution de carburant dans une position de distribution de carburant,
    caractérisé en ce qu'après l'étape (a), il comprend l'étape suivante :
  • (b) on coince temporairement un corps entre un pontet du pistolet et ladite détente placée dans la position de distribution de carburant et rappelée élastiquement vers une position de non-distribution de carburant.
The invention also relates to a fuel distribution method, comprising the following step:
  • (a) the trigger of a fuel distribution gun is placed in a fuel distribution position,
    characterized in that after step (a), it comprises the following step:
  • (b) a body is temporarily wedged between a trigger guard of the gun and said trigger placed in the fuel distribution position and resiliently biased towards a fuel non-distribution position.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de ce procédé de distribution sont définies par la revendication 10.Other advantageous characteristics of this distribution method are defined by claim 10.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif de blocage conforme à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale selon le plan II représenté à la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un pistolet classique de distribution de carburant et montre dans quelle position la détente de ce pistolet interrompt la distribution de carburant, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à la figure 3 et montre comment doit être placé le dispositif de blocage des figures 1 et 2 afin de bloquer la détente du pistolet de la figure 3 dans une position de distribution de carburant.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example, and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a locking device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a view in longitudinal section along the plane II shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a conventional fuel dispensing pistol and shows in which position the trigger of this pistol interrupts the dispensing of fuel, and
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 and shows how must be placed the locking device of Figures 1 and 2 in order to block the trigger of the gun of Figure 3 in a fuel delivery position.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, il est représenté un dispositif 1 de blocage de la détente d'un pistolet de distribution de carburant. Ce dispositif de blocage 1 comporte un corps 2 de préférence creux, et éventuellement un anneau de traction 3 prévu pour tirer sur ce corps 2.In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a device 1 for locking the trigger of a fuel dispensing gun. This locking device 1 comprises a preferably hollow body 2, and possibly a pulling ring 3 provided for pulling on this body 2.

Le corps 2 est réalisé en matière plastique, par exemple issue d'un recyclage, et peut servir de support publicitaire. Il a la forme d'un solide de révolution annulaire et il est allongé selon son axe de symétrie X-X'. Il a une longueur l1 de l'ordre de 7 cm et comporte deux tronçons d'extrémité 4 et 5 qui se prolongent l'un l'autre.The body 2 is made of plastic, for example from recycling, and can be used as an advertising medium. It has the shape of a solid of annular revolution and it is elongated along its axis of symmetry XX '. It has a length l 1 of the order of 7 cm and has two end sections 4 and 5 which extend each other.

Le tronçon 4 est cylindrique et se termine par une extrémité libre 6 du corps 2. Au niveau de ce tronçon 4, le corps 2 a une largeur l 2 comprise entre 45 et 55 mm, avantageusement entre 48 et 52 mm, et de préférence de l'ordre de 50 mm.The section 4 is cylindrical and ends with a free end 6 of the body 2. At the level of this section 4, the body 2 has a width l 2 of between 45 and 55 mm, advantageously between 48 and 52 mm, and preferably of around 50 mm.

Le tronçon 5 est tronconique et il est orienté de manière à s'évaser progressivement à mesure que l'on s'éloigne du tronçon 4. Le corps 2 a donc une surface externe concave.The section 5 is frustoconical and it is oriented so as to flare gradually as one moves away from the section 4. The body 2 therefore has a concave external surface.

Une bague interne 7 de renforcement du corps 2 est fixée sur la surface interne de ce corps 2, à la jonction des tronçons 4 et 5. Cette bague est optionnelle.An internal ring 7 for reinforcing the body 2 is fixed to the internal surface of this body 2, at the junction of the sections 4 and 5. This ring is optional.

L'anneau 3 est monté à l'autre extrémité libre 8 que le corps 2 possède à l'opposé de son extrémité libre 6. Plus précisément, il est passé dans un trou traversant 9, qui est percé dans le corps 2.The ring 3 is mounted at the other free end 8 which the body 2 has opposite its free end 6. More specifically, it passed through a through hole 9, which is drilled in the body 2.

Sur les figures 3 et 4, un pistolet classique 11 de distribution de carburant comporte une détente 12 de commande du débit de carburant distribué, ainsi qu'un pontet 14, qui protège cette détente 12 et dont chaque extrémité est fixée sensiblement au niveau de l'une des deux extrémités de la poignée 15 du pistolet 11. La détente 12 est montée à basculement, si bien qu'elle est mobile entre une première et une deuxième position. Elle est rappelée élastiquement vers la première position, qui est illustrée à la figure 3 et dans laquelle la distribution de carburant est coupée. Lorsque cette détente 12 est placée manuellement dans la deuxième position, qui est illustrée à la figure 4, le pistolet 11 distribue du carburant.In FIGS. 3 and 4, a conventional fuel dispensing gun 11 comprises a trigger 12 for controlling the flow of fuel dispensed, as well as a trigger guard 14, which protects this trigger 12 and each end of which is fixed substantially at the level of the 'one of the two ends of the handle 15 of the gun 11. The trigger 12 is pivotally mounted, so that it is movable between a first and a second position. It is resiliently returned to the first position, which is illustrated in Figure 3 and in which the fuel supply is cut. When this trigger 12 is placed manually in the second position, which is illustrated in FIG. 4, the gun 11 distributes fuel.

Pour passer de la position de non-distribution, illustrée à la figure 3, à la position de distribution, illustrée à la figure 4, on commence par basculer la détente 12 en direction de la poignée 15 (flèche F), après quoi l'on introduit le corps 2 par son extrémité 6 entre la détente 12 et le pontet 14, jusqu'à ce que la zone de jonction des tronçons 4 et 5 se trouve au niveau de cette détente 12 et de ce pontet 14. Le tronçon tronconique 5 facilite alors le positionnement du corps 2, puisqu'il est trop large pour pouvoir passer entre la détente 12 et le pontet 14 et qu'il stoppe de ce fait l'insertion du corps 2. Enfin, on relâche la détente 12, qui, du fait du rappel exercé par l'organe élastique précité, vient s'appliquer sur le corps 2.To move from the non-dispensing position, illustrated in FIG. 3, to the dispensing position, illustrated in FIG. 4, one begins by tilting the trigger 12 in the direction of the handle 15 (arrow F), after which the the body 2 is introduced by its end 6 between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14, until the junction zone of the sections 4 and 5 is at the level of this trigger 12 and this trigger guard 14. The frustoconical section 5 then facilitates the positioning of the body 2, since it is too wide to be able to pass between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14 and thereby stops the insertion of the body 2. Finally, the trigger 12 is released, which, due to the return exerted by the above-mentioned elastic member, is applied to the body 2.

Sur la figure 4, le corps 2 est coincé en étant pincé entre la détente 12 et le pontet 14. La bague de renforcement 7 prend alors en charge une partie de l'effort d'écrasement auquel est soumis le corps 2. La détente 12 est bloquée en position de distribution de carburant par ce corps 2, qui s'oppose à l'action de l'organe élastique précité.In FIG. 4, the body 2 is jammed by being pinched between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14. The reinforcing ring 7 then takes over part of the crushing force to which the body 2 is subjected. The trigger 12 is blocked in the fuel distribution position by this body 2, which opposes the action of the above-mentioned elastic member.

L'utilisateur qui a bloqué la détente 12 à l'aide du dispositif de blocage 1 a ses deux mains libres pendant toute la distribution de carburant, si bien qu'il peut attendre la fin de cette distribution en étant dans une position confortable et/ou en faisant autre chose.The user who has blocked the trigger 12 with the locking device 1 has his two hands free during the entire distribution of fuel, so that he can wait for the end of this distribution while being in a comfortable position and / or doing something else.

Lorsqu'il a fini de se servir, l'utilisateur ne peut guère oublier de retirer le dispositif de blocage 1, conformément au but de l'invention, du fait de la taille du corps 2 et de la localisation de ce corps 2 en position de blocage. Si, par extraordinaire, le dispositif de blocage 1 était oublié, l'utilisateur suivant ne manquerait pas de s'en apercevoir.When he has finished using, the user can hardly forget to remove the locking device 1, in accordance with the object of the invention, because of the size of the body 2 and the location of this body 2 in position blocking. If, by extraordinary means, the locking device 1 was forgotten, the next user would not fail to notice it.

De plus, l'anneau 3 peut servir de porte-clés et être muni de la clé de contact du véhicule de l'utilisateur. Si tel est le cas, et si l'utilisateur a oublié de retirer le dispositif de blocage 1 après avoir rempli le réservoir de son véhicule à l'aide du pistolet 11, cet utilisateur s'en aperçoit dès qu'il veut démarrer son véhicule avec la clé de contact.In addition, the ring 3 can serve as a keychain and be provided with the ignition key of the user's vehicle. If this is the case, and if the user has forgotten to remove the blocking device 1 after filling the tank of his vehicle with the gun 11, this user realizes this as soon as he wants to start his vehicle with the ignition key.

Egalement, un lien peut relier l'anneau 3 à un point situé dans le coffre du véhicule, là où le dispositif de blocage 1 est destiné à être rangé après utilisation.Also, a link can connect the ring 3 to a point located in the trunk of the vehicle, where the locking device 1 is intended to be stored after use.

Pour retirer le dispositif de blocage 1, on saisit l'anneau 3, au moyen duquel on tire le corps 2 de manière à l'extraire de l'espace compris entre la détente 12 et le pontet 14.To remove the locking device 1, the ring 3 is grasped, by means of which the body 2 is pulled so as to extract it from the space between the trigger 12 and the trigger guard 14.

L'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit précédemment. En particulier, la forme du corps 2 peut être modifiée. Par exemple, ce corps 2 peut ne pas avoir une section transversale circulaire comme dans l'exemple représenté, mais une section polygonale. Egalement, il peut ne comporter que le tronçon cylindrique 4, c'est-à-dire être dépourvu du tronçon 5. De plus, il peut être cubique ou avoir globalement la forme d'un parallélépipède.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In particular, the shape of the body 2 can be modified. For example, this body 2 may not have a circular cross section as in the example shown, but a polygonal section. Also, it may comprise only the cylindrical section 4, that is to say be devoid of the section 5. In addition, it may be cubic or generally have the shape of a parallelepiped.

De plus, l'anneau 3, bien qu'avantageux, peut être remplacé par un lien souple ou par une languette pouvant être saisi pour tirer sur le corps 2.In addition, the ring 3, although advantageous, can be replaced by a flexible link or by a tongue which can be grasped to pull on the body 2.
