Description

Clé de serrageTightening wrench
On connaît une clé de serrage permettant de visser un écrou, qui est formée d'un manche se terminant en fourche. La fourche s'étend sensiblement dans un plan. Pour serrer un écrou, on met les dents de la fourche dans des encoches prévues sur l'écrou et, à l'aide du manche, on fait tourner l'écrou, l'axe de l'écrou étant perpendiculaire au plan de la clé.There is a known wrench for screwing a nut, which is formed of a handle ending in a fork. The fork extends substantially in one plane. To tighten a nut, put the teeth of the fork in the notches provided on the nut and, using the handle, rotate the nut, the axis of the nut being perpendicular to the plane of the key .
On serre l'écrou jusqu'à ce que la résistance soit telle que l'on estime que le vissage est suffisant. Il arrive que l'on visse trop fort en bloquant l'écrou au-delà de ce qui est souhaitable au point qu'il est difficile de le desserrer ensuite, il peut arriver aussi que l'on serre l'écrou insuffisamment, puisque l'on doit s'en remettre à la sensation de l'opérateur.The nut is tightened until the resistance is such that it is considered that the screwing is sufficient. It sometimes happens that you screw too tightly by blocking the nut beyond what is desirable to the point that it is difficult to loosen it then, it can also happen that you tighten the nut insufficiently, since the 'We have to rely on the operator's feeling.
L'invention pallie cet inconvénient par une clé de serrage dans laquelle on peut définir à l'avance le degré de serrage de l'écrou.The invention overcomes this drawback with a tightening key in which the degree of tightening of the nut can be defined in advance.
Suivant l'invention, il est prévu une ouverture traversant la clé perpendiculairement au plan, une réglette pénétrant dans l'ouverture et des moyens permettant de maintenir la réglette dans l'ouverture en une position que l'on peut choisir librement à l'avance.According to the invention, there is provided an opening passing through the key perpendicular to the plane, a strip entering the opening and means making it possible to maintain the strip in the opening in a position which can be freely chosen in advance. .
Pour serrer un écrou, on détermine à l'avance la hauteur, correspondant à une hauteur de réglette, dont il doit être serré, cette détermination pouvant s'effectuer soit par expérience, soit par des mesures préalables sur l'appareil comportant l'écrou, par exemple sur un manchon d'épissure dans lequel on visse plus ou moins un écrou dans une ouverture de passage de câble en fonction de la dimension réglable de cette ouverture.To tighten a nut, the height is determined in advance, corresponding to a height of the strip, of which it must be tightened, this determination being able to be carried out either by experience, or by preliminary measurements on the device comprising the nut. , for example on a splice sleeve in which a nut is more or less screwed into a cable passage opening depending on the adjustable dimension of this opening.
On tourne la clé de serrage jusqu'à ce qu'une extrémité libre de la réglette, et notamment l'extrémité inférieure, vienne en contact avec un flasque d'appui entourant l'écrou. On sait qu'il faut s'arrêter de serrer lorsque ce contact est atteint.The tightening key is turned until a free end of the strip, and in particular the lower end, comes into contact with a support flange surrounding the nut. We know that we must stop tightening when this contact is reached.
Suivant un mode de réalisation, les moyens permettant de maintenir la réglette dans l'ouverture en une position que l'on peut choisir librement à l'avance sont constitués par un bec élastique pénétrant dans l'une parmi plusieurs rainures ménagées dans la réglette. Il s'agit de l'une des façons les plus simples d'obtenir tout à la fois le maintien de la réglette dans l'ouverture en la position que l'on a choisie, et la possibilité par l'élasticité du bec de sortir de cette position et de prendre une autre position. De préférence, les rainures sont équidistantes et un nombre est apposé sur la réglette en regard de chaque rainure, les nombres étant croissants d'une rainure à l'autre. On peut donc associer au nombre de la rainure une ouverture déterminée du manchon d'épissure, dans laquelle l'écrou doit être vissé.According to one embodiment, the means making it possible to maintain the strip in the opening in a position which can be freely chosen in advance are constituted by an elastic spout penetrating one of several grooves made in the strip. This is one of the simplest ways to obtain both the maintenance of the strip in the opening in the position that has been chosen, and the possibility by the elasticity of the spout to come out from that position and take another position. Preferably, the grooves are equidistant and a number is affixed on the strip opposite each groove, the numbers being croissants from one groove to another. We can therefore associate with the number of the groove a determined opening of the splice sleeve, into which the nut must be screwed.
Pour que la graduation constituée par la série de nombres soit toujours dans un même sens, la réglette comporte de préférence un détrompeur n'autorisant l'entrée de la réglette dans l'ouverture que lorsque la réglette est dans une orientation donnée.So that the graduation formed by the series of numbers is always in the same direction, the strip preferably includes a polarizing device which does not allow entry of the strip into the opening until the strip is in a given orientation.
D'une manière très préférée, la clé comporte, au-dessus du plan, une nervure en arc de cercle faisant saillie au-dessus de l'intervalle entre les deux dents de la fourche. Cette nervure est destinée à pénétrer dans une gorge de forme complémentaire de l'écrou, en sorte que la clé est maintenue à un niveau donné par rapport à l'axe de l'écrou et que la jauge de hauteur de serrage que constitue la réglette ne donne pas une indication faussée par une position initiale fausse de la clé. Les figures 1 et 2 du dessin annexé sont des vues en perspective illustrant l'invention.In a very preferred manner, the key comprises, above the plane, a rib in an arc of a circle projecting above the interval between the two teeth of the fork. This rib is intended to penetrate a groove of complementary shape of the nut, so that the key is maintained at a given level relative to the axis of the nut and that the clamping height gauge which constitutes the strip does not give an indication distorted by a false initial position of the key. Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing are perspective views illustrating the invention.
La clé de serrage représentée aux figures comprend essentiellement un manche 1 se terminant des deux côtés en fourche. De préférence, les deux fourches ont des dimensions inégales, de manière à ce que la clé puisse servir pour un plus grand nombre d'écrous de diamètre différent. On se contentera dans le présent mémoire de décrire l'une des extrémités en fourche de la clé. Cette extrémité, ainsi que l'autre, se trouvent, sensiblement, dans un même plan P. La fourche a, à cette extrémité, deux dents 2 et 3. Une ouverture 4 traverse la clé perpendiculairement au plan P.The tightening wrench shown in the figures essentially comprises a handle 1 ending on both sides in a fork. Preferably, the two forks have unequal dimensions, so that the wrench can be used for a larger number of nuts of different diameter. In this specification, we will be content to describe one of the fork ends of the key. This end, as well as the other, are located substantially in the same plane P. The fork has, at this end, two teeth 2 and 3. An opening 4 passes through the key perpendicular to the plane P.
Une réglette 5 a des dimensions telles qu'elle peut pénétrer dans l'ouverture 4 avec possibilité d'y être réglée en une position donnée que l'on choisit à volonté et d'y être maintenue en cette position. Les moyens permettant de maintenir la réglette dans l'ouverture en une position que l'on peut choisir librement à l'avance sont constitués par un bec 6 élastique pénétrant dans l'une parmi plusieurs rainures 7 équidistantes ménagées dans la réglette et en regard de chacune desquelles est porté un nombre qui caractérise la hauteur de la réglette dépassant en dessous du plan P.A strip 5 has dimensions such that it can penetrate into the opening 4 with the possibility of being adjusted to it in a given position which one chooses at will and of being held there in this position. The means making it possible to maintain the strip in the opening in a position which can be freely chosen in advance are constituted by an elastic spout 6 penetrating into one of several equidistant grooves 7 formed in the strip and opposite each of which is carried a number which characterizes the height of the strip exceeding below the plane P.
La réglette comporte un détrompeur 8 sous la forme d'un aile 8 destinée à coopérer avec une cavité 9 sur l'un des côtés de l'ouverture 4.The strip includes a polarizing device 8 in the form of a wing 8 intended to cooperate with a cavity 9 on one of the sides of the opening 4.
La clé comporte, au-dessus du plan P, une nervure 10 portée par un pilier 11 issu du plan. La nervure 10 a une forme d'arc de cercle. Elle fait saillie au-dessus de l'intervalle entre les deux dents 2, 3 de la fourche. Elle est destinée à venir dans une rainure périphérique de l'écrou.The key comprises, above the plane P, a rib 10 carried by a pillar 11 from the plan. The rib 10 has the shape of an arc of a circle. It projects above the gap between the two teeth 2, 3 of the fork. It is intended to come into a peripheral groove of the nut.
Pour serrer l'écrou de la valeur souhaitée, on détermine tout d'abord la rainure 7 de la réglette 5 à laquelle correspond le serrage qui est souhaité pour l'écrou. On met ensuite la réglette 7 dans l'ouverture 4 en sorte que la rainure 7 qui a été déterminée se trouve en regard du bec 6, celui-ci repoussé élastiquement lors de l'introduction de la réglette revenant de soi- même dans la rainure 7 choisie et maintenant ainsi la réglette en une position donnée par rapport au plan P. Il ne reste plus qu'à tourner l'écrou à l'aide de la clé jusqu'à ce que le bord 12 inférieur de la réglette vienne en appui sur une surface perpendiculaire à l'axe de l'écrou. To tighten the nut to the desired value, first determine the groove 7 of the strip 5 to which corresponds the tightening that is desired for the nut. Then put the strip 7 in the opening 4 so that the groove 7 which has been determined is located opposite the spout 6, the latter repelled elastically during the introduction of the strip returning of itself in the groove 7 chosen and thus maintaining the strip in a given position relative to the plane P. It only remains to turn the nut using the wrench until the lower edge 12 of the strip comes to bear on a surface perpendicular to the axis of the nut.
