Description

Nouvel outil de jardinage du type râteau ou balai La présente invention concerne un outil de jardinage du type râteau ou balai de gazon, par exemple métallique ou en matériau composite. The present invention relates to a gardening tool of the rake or lawn broom type, for example metallic or made of composite material.
C'est un outil qui permet de rassembler par exemple les feuilles mortes, papiers, ou boites de boissons.It is a tool that allows you to collect, for example, dead leaves, papers, or boxes of drinks.
EP-A-0 281 472 décrit une fourche à griffes courbes comportant deux nappes de griffes, fixe et mobile.EP-A-0 281 472 describes a fork with curved claws comprising two plies of claws, fixed and movable.
US-A-1 474 650 décrit une fourche munie de griffes courbes fixes et de griffes droites courtes et mobiles se mettant perpendiculaires aux griffes courbes fixes pour constituer un râteau.US-A-1 474 650 describes a fork provided with fixed curved claws and short straight movable claws which are placed perpendicular to the fixed curved claws to constitute a rake.
Il serait souhaitable de disposer d'un outil de jardinage du type râteau ou balai de gazon simple et efficace permettant de se dispenser si désiré de ressort(s) et/ou de système de blocage des dents mobiles.It would be desirable to have a gardening tool of the rake or lawn mop type, simple and effective, making it possible to dispense, if desired, with spring (s) and / or with a system for blocking movable teeth.
C'est pourquoi la présente invention a pour objet un outil de jardinage du type râteau ou balai de gazon comprenant des dents fixes et des dents mobiles, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une poignée qui coulisse sur un manche qui pousse une tige-bielle fixée sur une traverse qui actionne les dents mobiles entre une position fermée et une position ouverte et en ce que en position fermée, les dents fixes et les dents mobiles sont situées sensiblement dans le même plan. En quelque sorte, elles ne forment plus qu'un seul outil.This is why the present invention relates to a gardening tool of the rake or lawn broom type comprising fixed teeth and movable teeth, characterized in that it comprises a handle which slides on a handle which pushes a rod-rod. fixed on a crosspiece which actuates the movable teeth between a closed position and an open position and in that in the closed position, the fixed teeth and the movable teeth are located substantially in the same plane. In a way, they only form one tool.
Les dents fixes et les dents mobiles ont de préférence environ (plus ou moins 20 %, de préférence plus ou moins 10 %) la même longueur. Elles sont avantageusement en position alternée. Dans d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en œuvre de l'invention, une traverse maintient les dents mobiles qui pivotent autour d'un axe de sorte que quand on tire la poignée vers le haut du manche, la tige-bielle ouvre les dents mobiles autour de leur axe, et inversement en repoussant la poignée les dents mobiles rejoignent le plan des dents fixes pour ne reformer qu'un seul et même outil.The fixed teeth and the movable teeth preferably have approximately (plus or minus 20%, preferably plus or minus 10%) the same length. They are advantageously in an alternating position. In other preferential conditions for implementing the invention, a cross member maintains the movable teeth which pivot about an axis so that when the handle is pulled up the handle, the rod-rod opens the movable teeth around their axis, and conversely by pushing back the handle, the movable teeth join the plane of the fixed teeth so as to reform only one and the same tool.
Dans encore d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en œuvre de l'invention, les extrémités des dents opposées au manche sont sensiblement alignées. Les dents ont de préférence une forme droite. Leur section est de préférence aplatie dans le plan des dents.In still other preferential conditions for implementing the invention, the ends of the teeth opposite the handle are substantially aligned. The teeth preferably have a straight shape. Their section is preferably flattened in the plane of the teeth.
Dans toujours d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en œuvre de l'invention, les dents ont une longueur allant de 30 à 60 cm, de préférence de 30 à 50 cm. Une partie de la longueur des dents peut bien sûr être renforcée en ménageant un pont entre les dents du même type (fixes ou mobiles).In still other preferential conditions for implementing the invention, the teeth have a length ranging from 30 to 60 cm, preferably from 30 to 50 cm. A part of the length of the teeth can of course be reinforced by providing a bridge between the teeth of the same type (fixed or mobile).
Les dents sont de préférence parallèles au manche.The teeth are preferably parallel to the handle.
La structure simple et efficace de l'outil de jardinage selon l'invention permet de se dispenser si désiré de ressort(s) et/ou de système de blocage des dents mobiles.The simple and efficient structure of the gardening tool according to the invention makes it possible to dispense, if desired, with spring (s) and / or with a system for blocking movable teeth.
L'invention consiste donc notamment à séparer de l'outil un certain nombre de dents qui composera un ensemble solidaire fixé sur un axe ; ce qui permet à l'aide d'une poignée qui coulisse sur le manche de l'outil d'actionner cette partie de dents devenue mobile et de s'ouvrir pour former comme une mâchoire, et de ramasser ainsi sans se baisser les tas de feuilles ou de détritus ainsi rassemblés.The invention therefore consists in particular in separating from the tool a certain number of teeth which will form an integral assembly fixed on an axis; which allows using a handle which slides on the handle of the tool to activate this part of teeth which has become mobile and to open to form like a jaw, and thus to collect without bending down the piles of leaves or litter so collected.
Il suffira d'actionner la poignée pour déclencher le mouvement d'ouverture de cette partie mobile afin de libérer ainsi le tas de détritus. Une fois cette partie mobile de retour à sa place, le balai aura repris sa forme initiale comme tout autre balai entièrement fixe.It will be enough to actuate the handle to trigger the opening movement of this movable part in order to thus release the pile of trash. Once this mobile part returns to its place, the broom will have returned to its initial shape like any other fully fixed broom.
L'invention permet donc de se servir de l'outil entier pour le ramassage des feuilles ou des détritus sans que la partie mobile soit bloquée en l'air, en position ouverte. Cette partie mobile servira autant à rassembler qu'à ramasser.The invention therefore makes it possible to use the entire tool for picking up leaves or litter without the movable part being blocked in the air, in the open position. This mobile part will serve as much to collect as to collect.
Les figures 1 , 2 et 3 illustrent l'invention.Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the invention.
- La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'un outil de jardinage selon l'invention,FIG. 1 represents a top view of a gardening tool according to the invention,
- La figure 2 représente une vue de profil de la figure 1 , - La figure 3 représente une vue du type de la figure 2 mais en position ouverte. Sur la figure 1, on distingue que l'outil comprend une poignée 1 qui coulisse sur un manche 2 qui pousse une tige-bielle 3 fixée sur une traverse 5.- Figure 2 shows a profile view of Figure 1, - Figure 3 shows a view of the type of Figure 2 but in the open position. In FIG. 1, it can be seen that the tool comprises a handle 1 which slides on a handle 2 which pushes a rod-rod 3 fixed on a cross-member 5.
Cette traverse 5 maintient une partie des dents 4 qui pivote autour d'un axe 6. Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, quand on tire vers le haut la poignée 1 du manche 2, la tige-bielle 3 ouvre la partie des dents 4 articulées pivotant autour de l'axe 6.This cross-member 5 holds part of the teeth 4 which pivots around an axis 6. As can be seen in FIG. 3, when the handle 1 of the handle 2 is pulled upwards, the rod-rod 3 opens the part of the teeth 4 articulated pivoting around axis 6.
Inversement, comme on le voit sur la figure 1 et sur la figure 2, en repoussant la poignée 1 vers les dents, la partie mobile des dents 4 rejoint les dents fixes 4' pour ne reformer qu'un seul et même outil où les dents fixes 4' et mobiles 4 sont toutes dans le même plan. Conversely, as can be seen in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2, by pushing the handle 1 towards the teeth, the movable part of the teeth 4 joins the fixed teeth 4 'so as to reform only one and the same tool where the teeth fixed 4 'and mobile 4 are all in the same plane.
