Description

Fixed and/or combined devices

本发明涉及一种固定和/或组合装置，该装置由两个部件组成，其中的一个部件的表面上具有齿形件，另一个部件上具有在所述两个部件组装时用以容纳该齿形件的孔。The invention relates to a fastening and/or combination device consisting of two parts, one of which has a tooth on its surface and the other a tooth for receiving the tooth when said two parts are assembled. hole in the shape.

人们早就了解了由两个可以相互组装在一起的部件组装而成的固定装置，尤其是在专利文件FR2090786和WO96/41551中。专利文献FR2090768描述了一个由两个板状的部件组成的固定装置，其中的一个部件的表面上包含带钩的纤维，而另一部件包含环状的纤维，用于与第一部件上的钩结合。这种装置一般被称为“维可牢尼龙搭扣(VELCRO)”。在这篇法国的文献中，也讨论了早于1970年4月29日的装置，该日期是在瑞士注册优先权的日期。Fixing devices assembled from two parts that can be assembled to each other have long been known, notably in patent documents FR2090786 and WO96/41551. Patent document FR2090768 describes a fastening device consisting of two plate-shaped parts, one of which contains hooked fibers on its surface, while the other part contains looped fibers for engaging the hooks on the first part. combined. Such a device is generally referred to as "VELCRO". In this French document, installations earlier than 29 April 1970, the date of priority registration in Switzerland, are also discussed.

文献WO96/41551描述了一种用于在鞋子上换鞋带的连接装置。该装置包括一个形状好像小舌头的第一部件，该小舌头的表面上有孔，和一个形状好像板子的第二部件，该第二部件上具有钩状的脊。该舌头用于接触和连接到该钩。该装置与专利文献US4727659中公开的装置很接近。实际上，在该美国文献中，同样公开了由两个部件组成的连接装置，其中一个部件具有状似蘑菇的凸块，用于与所述第二部件的圆环孔结合。Document WO 96/41551 describes an attachment device for changing laces on shoes. The device comprises a first part shaped like a uvule with holes in its surface, and a second part shaped like a plate with hooked ridges thereon. The tongue is used to contact and connect to the hook. This device is very close to that disclosed in the patent document US4727659. In fact, in this US document, too, a connecting device is disclosed consisting of two parts, one of which has a mushroom-shaped projection intended to engage with the annular hole of said second part.

尽管在以上引述的文献中公开的装置已经相当不错了，但它们仍有缺陷。特别是，在文献FR2090786中描述的装置有定位不精确的缺陷。另一方面，尽管在文献WO96/41551中公开的第二种装置具有精确的定位，但还是有磨损较快的缺陷，因此不能保证一个很好的连接。Although the devices disclosed in the documents cited above are already quite good, they still have drawbacks. In particular, the device described in document FR2090786 suffers from imprecise positioning. On the other hand, the second device disclosed in document WO 96/41551, despite its precise positioning, suffers from relatively rapid wear and thus does not guarantee a good connection.

本发明的目的是提供一种不具备已知装置缺陷的装置，也就是说，一个能够精确定位并不易磨损的装置，长时间后仍能保证很好的连接。The object of the present invention is to provide a device which does not have the disadvantages of the known devices, that is to say a device which can be positioned precisely and is not prone to wear and which guarantees a good connection over a long period of time.

根据权利要求1定义的发明制造出的装置，能够实现上述目的。The above object can be achieved by a device manufactured according to the invention defined in claim 1 .

实际上，根据本发明制造的装置包含有多次使用不会损坏的弹性齿。两个部件的结合同样需要用户施加一定的力，由于需要大致相同的力来分离该两个部件，所以保证了连接良好。In fact, the devices made according to the invention contain elastic teeth that will not break down over multiple uses. The joining of the two parts also requires some force from the user, and since approximately the same force is required to separate the two parts, a good connection is ensured.

本发明的特征和优点在阅读了以下作为具体实施例给出的制造方法后，将会更清楚和更好地被理解。以下是附图说明：The features and advantages of the present invention will be clearer and better understood after reading the manufacturing methods given below as specific examples. The following is a description of the drawings:

图1是根据本发明制造装置的第一种方法的示意图；Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a first method of manufacturing a device according to the present invention;

图2是根据本发明制造装置的第二种方法的示意图；Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a second method of manufacturing a device according to the present invention;

图3是图1中的装置的第一种用法的示意图；Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a first usage of the device in Figure 1;

图4是根据本发明装置的一系列第一部件的示意图；Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a series of first parts of a device according to the invention;

图5和图6示出了根据本发明制造的装置的两种用法。Figures 5 and 6 illustrate two uses of a device made according to the invention.

图1示出了根据本发明制造固定和/或组装装置的第一种方法。在图1a中，我们看到一第一部件A包含一部分1，该部分1可以是板状，条状或多面体状，但在本图中，从横断面和外侧看，示出的是板状。部分1上具有齿2，该齿2是从模具中制出图示形状的。这些齿2有端头3，它们的横断面可以是圆形或多边形。在本制造方法中，所述的齿是直的。Figure 1 shows a first method of manufacturing a fixing and/or assembling device according to the invention. In Figure 1a we see a first part A comprising a part 1 which can be plate-shaped, strip-shaped or polyhedral-shaped, but in this figure, viewed in cross-section and from the outside, is shown in the form of a plate . Part 1 has teeth 2 formed thereon from a mold in the shape shown. These teeth 2 have ends 3, which can be circular or polygonal in cross-section. In this manufacturing method, said teeth are straight.

在图1b中，我们看到第二部件B用于与图1a中的第一部件A结合。图中示出了该第二部件的侧视图，具有一个细长的平行六面体4的形状，并具有至少一行孔5，在图中以虚线表示。这些孔的横断面(图中未示出)与图1a中部件A的齿2的横断面相同。然而，这些孔在纵向上弯曲。这样，当部件A与部件B被压在一起时，部件A的齿穿进部件B的孔，如图1c所示。这个操作需要一定的力，以使齿2弯曲，并且分离二部件A和B时，需要大致同样大小的力。这样，得到一个精确并且相对结实的组合。In Fig. 1b we see a second part B intended to be combined with the first part A in Fig. 1a. The figure shows a side view of the second part, which has the shape of an elongated parallelepiped 4 and has at least one row of holes 5, indicated in the figure by dashed lines. The cross-section of these holes (not shown in the figure) is the same as that of the tooth 2 of part A in Fig. 1a. However, these holes are bent in the longitudinal direction. Thus, when parts A and B are pressed together, the teeth of part A penetrate the holes of part B, as shown in Figure 1c. This operation requires a certain amount of force to bend the tooth 2 and roughly the same amount of force is required to separate the two parts A and B. In this way, a precise and relatively solid combination is obtained.

从图1c中能看出，两个部件A和B以一定的间距h组装，该间距形成于部件A的板1与部件B的主体4之间。该间距能够用于夹紧材料或头发，如图3所示。As can be seen in FIG. 1 c , the two parts A and B are assembled with a certain distance h formed between the plate 1 of part A and the body 4 of part B . This spacing can be used to grip material or hair, as shown in FIG. 3 .

图中所示的制造方法中，齿2的长度比部件B的孔5的深度大，但是，该长度也可以相同或小于该孔5的深度。这种变化能够为某些特殊用途带来漂亮的外观，例如，当本发明的装置用于合上皮带或鞋子时。In the manufacturing method shown in the figure, the length of the tooth 2 is greater than the depth of the hole 5 of the part B, but the length may be equal to or smaller than the depth of the hole 5 . This variation can bring about an attractive appearance for certain special applications, for example, when the device of the invention is used to close belts or shoes.

图2中，示出了根据本发明的第二种制造该装置的方法。为了便于理解，我们采用了与图1中相同的标号，只是在上面加了一个撇号(’)。In Fig. 2, a second method of manufacturing the device according to the invention is shown. For ease of understanding, we use the same numbering as in Figure 1, but add an apostrophe (') above it.

在图2a中，我们看到第一部件A’包含有部分1’，该部分1’可以是板状或条状，但是图中示出的是侧视图或截面图。齿2’设置在部分1’上，齿2’由如图所示的形成方法模制出来。这些齿2’包含有端头3’，并具有圆形或多边形的横截面。在这种形成方法中，齿是弯曲的。In Fig. 2a we see that the first part A' comprises a part 1' which may be in the form of a plate or a strip, but is shown in a side view or in section. Teeth 2' are provided on part 1', and teeth 2' are molded by the forming method as shown. These teeth 2' contain tips 3' and have a circular or polygonal cross-section. In this method of formation, the teeth are curved.

在图2b中，我们看到第二部件B’用于与图2a中的第一部件A’结合。该第二部件B’与图1中的形成方法一样，仅以侧视图示出。它具有一个细长的平行六面体4’的形状，并且具有至少一行孔5’，在图中以虚线表示。这些孔的横断面(图中未示出)与图2a中部件A’的齿2’的横断面相同。另一方面，这些齿在纵向上，也就是说在孔的深度方向上是直的。这样，当部件A’与部件B’被压在一起时，部件A’的齿穿进部件B’的孔，如图2c所示。这个操作需要一定的力，以使齿2变直并伸出，并且分离二部件A’和B’时，需要大致同样大小的力。这样，我们也可以得到一个精确并且相对结实的组合。In Figure 2b we see a second part B' used in conjunction with the first part A' in Figure 2a. This second part B' is formed in the same way as in Fig. 1 and is only shown in side view. It has the shape of an elongated parallelepiped 4' and has at least one row of holes 5', indicated in dashed lines in the figure. The cross-section of these holes (not shown in the figure) is the same as that of the teeth 2' of part A' in Fig. 2a. On the other hand, the teeth are straight in the longitudinal direction, that is to say in the depth direction of the hole. Thus, when parts A' and B' are pressed together, the teeth of part A' penetrate the holes of part B', as shown in Figure 2c. This operation requires a certain amount of force to straighten and protrude the teeth 2, and about the same amount of force is required to separate the two parts A' and B'. In this way, we can also get a precise and relatively strong combination.

在图4中，我们看到一个与上述两种形成方法截然不同的第三种形成方法，但是基于权利要求1中限定的同样的原则。为了便于理解，我们对与图1相同的技术特征使用相同的标号，并加两个撇号(”)。由于部件B”与图2中描述的方法中的B’相同，我们仅仅示出了部件A，也就是说，孔在深度方向上是直的。In FIG. 4 we see a third formation method which is quite different from the above two formation methods, but based on the same principle as defined in claim 1 . For ease of understanding, we use the same reference numerals for the same technical features as in Figure 1, and add two apostrophes ("). Since part B" is the same as B' in the method described in Figure 2, we only show Part A, that is, the hole is straight in the depth direction.

在图4中，我们看到部件A”包含一第一部分1”，该第一部分可以是如先前方法所述的条形或板形。部分1”上具有齿2”，该齿也是例如从图示的方法中模制而成的。这些齿2”具有圆形或多边形的横断面。在本形成方法中，该齿2”具有纵向的长切口7，将齿分割成两部分8和9，当齿2”被压入部件B”的孔中时，该两部分具有足够的弹性合在一起。这种操作需要一定的力以便齿2”的两部分能够合在一起，并且分离二部件A”和B”时，需要大致同样大小的力。这样，我们也可以得到一个精确并且相对结实的组合。In Fig. 4 we see part A" comprising a first part 1", which can be in the shape of a bar or a plate as described in the previous method. Part 1" has teeth 2" on it, also molded eg from the method shown. These teeth 2" have a circular or polygonal cross-section. In the present forming method, this tooth 2" has a long longitudinal slit 7 which divides the tooth into two parts 8 and 9, when the tooth 2" is pressed into part B" The two parts are elastic enough to fit together when in the hole. This operation requires a certain amount of force so that the two parts of the tooth 2" can come together, and roughly the same amount of force is required to separate the two parts A" and B". In this way, we can also obtain a precise and relatively strong combination .

另外，由此形成方法，齿2”的端头10包含轻微的交叠并形成一个钩。由该钩能够形成一个不可分离的组合。例如，这种组合能够被用于组装及其的部件。In addition, with this forming method, the tip 10 of the tooth 2" contains a slight overlap and forms a hook. An inseparable combination can be formed from this hook. For example, this combination can be used for assembly and its parts.

图5示出了根据本发明形成的装置的一种使用方法，是作为一个发夹。如图5a和图5b所示，发夹有两个部件A和B。部件A(图5a)由细长的平行六面体51和其侧边上具有端头53的齿52组成。另外，在部件A的一端具有一个蘑菇状的茎54。部件B(图5b)由一主体55和其上在长度方向上弯曲的孔56组成，该孔用于容纳部件A中的齿52。在部件B的一端，具有一个容纳和夹紧部件A的蘑菇形的茎54的系统57。在图5c中，两个部件A和B结合在一起。Figure 5 illustrates one method of use of a device formed in accordance with the present invention, as a hair clip. As shown in Figures 5a and 5b, the hairpin has two parts A and B. Part A (FIG. 5a) consists of an elongated parallelepiped 51 and a tooth 52 with ends 53 on its sides. In addition, part A has a mushroom-shaped stem 54 at one end. Part B (FIG. 5b) consists of a body 55 with longitudinally curved holes 56 for receiving teeth 52 in part A. As shown in FIG. At one end of part B there is a system 57 for receiving and clamping the mushroom-shaped stem 54 of part A. In Figure 5c, two parts A and B are joined together.

图6示出了根据本发明形成的装置的另一种使用方法，是作为衣服上的扣件或夹紧件。如图6所示，扣件由两个部件A和B组成，该二部件由绳或线68连接在一起。部件A(图6)包括一个平行多边形六面体形状的部分61，该部分61包含一端具有端头63的直齿62。部件B(图6)由主体65和其上的纵向方向弯曲的孔66组成，该孔用于容纳部件A的齿62。该扣件以下述方式使用：将部件B放置在想要夹持的材料的一面并将部件A压入部件B，确保齿62穿过材料，然后将二部件A和B压在一起，这样就将材料夹持到位了。Figure 6 illustrates another method of use of a device formed in accordance with the present invention, as a fastener or clip on clothing. As shown in FIG. 6, the fastener consists of two parts, A and B, which are joined together by a cord or thread 68. As shown in FIG. Part A ( FIG. 6 ) comprises a part 61 in the shape of a parallelogram comprising a straight tooth 62 with a tip 63 at one end. Part B ( FIG. 6 ) consists of a body 65 with a longitudinally curved hole 66 thereon for receiving the teeth 62 of part A. As shown in FIG. The fastener is used in the following manner: Place part B on the side of the material you want to clamp and press part A into part B, making sure the teeth 62 pass through the material, then press the two parts A and B together so that The material is clamped in place.

很明显，以上作为例子描述的两种使用方法中，齿52和62也可以是弯曲的，而孔56和66在深度方向上是直的。并且齿52和62也可以被形成为图4中的形态。Obviously, in the two methods of use described above as examples, the teeth 52 and 62 can also be curved, while the holes 56 and 66 are straight in depth. And the teeth 52 and 62 may also be formed in the form shown in FIG. 4 .

第三种用法，在此没有示出，部件A在至少两个相对的面上具有齿，以便两个部件B能够同时与其组合。该部件能够做成在多个面包含齿的多面体。这种组合也能够做成部件A或部件B是非组合部件，即，该部件可以与同样的另一个部件组合。这时，能够创建构造，也就是说，根据本发明制造的装置能被作为游戏使用。In a third usage, not shown here, part A has teeth on at least two opposite faces so that two parts B can be combined with it simultaneously. This part can be made into a polyhedron containing teeth on multiple faces. This combination can also be made such that part A or part B is a non-combined part, ie the part can be combined with the same other part. At this time, constructions can be created, that is, devices manufactured according to the present invention can be used as games.

最后，根据本发明形成的装置的两部件A和B可以是由任何具有弹性和自由度的材料形成，即，任何可变形(折叠)，并在压力释放后还原为原状的材料均可。例如，合成材料或钢和铝的金属材料。Finally, the two parts A and B of the device formed according to the invention can be formed from any material that has elasticity and freedom, ie any material that can deform (fold) and return to its original shape after the pressure is released. For example, composite materials or metallic materials of steel and aluminum.

显然，这里描述的本发明和它的几种用途仅仅是作为例子，该使用并不限于这些描述。这样，本发明能够涵盖各种变型，尤其是制造材料的改变，不同部件尺寸的变换，例如齿的长度，孔的深度，用途变换均在本发明的范围内。Clearly, the invention and its several uses are described here as examples only, and the use is not limited to these descriptions. In this way, the invention is capable of covering various modifications, in particular changes in the material of manufacture, changes in the dimensions of the different components, such as the length of the teeth, the depth of the holes, changes in use are all within the scope of the invention.
