Abstract
Description
- FROTTOIR A USAGES MULTIPLES - La présente invention consiste en un frottoir à usages multiples dont le but est de diminuer les efforts physiques d'une personne devant, dans une liste non exhaustive, polir, poncer, nettoyer, peindre une surface, en servant de support pour feuilles ou papiers abrasifs, tampons non tissé abrasifs ou de nettoyage-polissage, tissus microfibre. Elle abaisse le centre de gravité entre la main et la surface à travailler et supprime l'effort de préhension d'une cale ou d'un support en agissant parallèlement à la surface. - MULTI-PURPOSE FLAP - The present invention consists of a multi-purpose scrub, the aim of which is to reduce the physical efforts of a person who must, in a non-exhaustive list, polish, sand, clean, paint a surface, serving as support for abrasive sheets or papers, abrasive non-woven or cleaning-polishing pads, microfiber fabrics. It lowers the center of gravity between the hand and the work surface and eliminates the effort of gripping a wedge or a support by acting parallel to the surface.
Ces travaux, pour obtenir un polissage ou un nettoyage sans appareils mécaniques, dans l'état actuel de la technique sont faits à mains nues, ce qui peut provoquer des échauffements, dans certains cas, voire des brûlures sur des surfaces chaudes ou au moyen de supports tels que poignées, blocs de ponçage ou éponges munies de tampons non tissé abrasif ou de feuilles abrasives qui obligent l'utilisateur à user d'une partie de sa force pour le maintien desdites feuilles sur le support et pour tenir celui-ci, et une autre partie de sa force, par appui, pour exécuter le travail. Les forces en présence, une pour maintenir le support et l'autre pour frotter, créent un effort inutile qui ne permet pas de ressentir l'état du résultat désiré, en travaillant perpendiculairement à la surface. D'autre part, ces cales engendrent pour certains travaux un gaspillage des matériaux abrasifs.These works, to obtain polishing or cleaning without mechanical devices, in the current state of the art are done with bare hands, which can cause heating, in some cases, or even burns on hot surfaces or by means of supports such as handles, sanding blocks or sponges provided with abrasive nonwoven pads or abrasive sheets which force the user to use part of his force to hold said sheets on the support and to hold it, and another part of his strength, by support, to execute the work. The forces involved, one to maintain the support and the other to rub, create an unnecessary effort that does not allow to feel the state of the desired result, working perpendicular to the surface. On the other hand, these shims generate for certain works a waste of abrasive materials.
L'objet de cette invention, selon le mode de réalisation préféré, ce frottoir à usage multiple (1) caractérisé par une surface plane d'environ 1 à 3 mm d'épaisseur, supprime l'effort de préhension du support en s'adaptant parfaitement à la main, par une butée centrale(2) sur la largeur, émergeant de la surface plane et qui se positionne entre les doigts de la main tout en recouvrant ceux-ci et apte à coopérer en appui avec ces doigts pour permettre ainsi une meilleure transmission axiale de l'effort selon un plan parallèle à la main et par deux saillies(3) émergeant du frottoir(l) munies d'une fente(4) servant d'accroché à une sangle(5) d'attache au poignet, telle qu'une sangle fixe ou bien amovible et repositionnable telle qu'une fixation de type auto-agrippant, ce qui permet un réglage entre le support et le poignet. 11 est ainsi possible de garder l'objet à son poignet pour contrôler l'état d'avancement du travail par le touché à la main. Le nettoyage, ponçage, polissage ou tout travail réalisé est plus régulier, puisque appliqué par toute la surface de la main, selon un seul sens de l'effort. Il est aussi mieux ressenti par l'utilisateur. Selon les modes de réalisation, l'ensemble peut être réalisé en matière thermoplastique notamment de type ABS ou polyéthylène d'environ 1 à 3 mm d'épaisseur en :The object of this invention, according to the preferred embodiment, this multi-purpose scrubber (1) characterized by a flat surface of approximately 1 to 3 mm thick, eliminates the gripping force of the support by adapting perfectly by hand, by a central stop (2) across the width, emerging from the flat surface and which is positioned between the fingers of the hand while covering them and able to cooperate in support with these fingers to thereby allow a better axial transmission of the force along a plane parallel to the hand and by two projections (3) emerging from the wiper (l) provided with a slot (4) serving to hang on a strap (5) for attachment to the wrist , such as a fixed or removable and repositionable strap such as a hook-and-loop fastening, which allows adjustment between the support and the wrist. It is thus possible to keep the object on his wrist to control the progress of the work by touching it by hand. Cleaning, sanding, polishing or any work carried out is more regular, since it is applied over the entire surface of the hand, using only one direction of effort. It is also better felt by the user. According to the embodiments, the assembly can be made of thermoplastic material, in particular of ABS or polyethylene type, of approximately 1 to 3 mm thick by:
