PINZA PERFECCIONADA PERFECTED CLAMP
D E S C R I P C I Ó ND E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a una pinza, del tipo de las utilizadas por ejemplo para colgar la ropa, pinza que ha sido sensiblemente perfeccionada en orden a conseguir, con una máxima simplificación estruc¬ tural, unas óptimas prestaciones desde el punto de vista operativo.The present invention relates to a clamp, of the type used for hanging clothes, for example, which has been significantly improved in order to achieve, with maximum structural simplification, optimum performance from the operational point of view.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, las pinzas convencionales del tipo anteriormente citado están constituidas mediante dos brazos, que antiguamente eran de madera y más recien¬ temente son de naturaleza plástica, relacionados entre sí mediante un resorte situado a nivel medio, de manera que dicho resorte tiende a separar los extremos de dichos brazos correspondientes al accionamiento manual de la misma en sentido de apertura, y a cerrar el otro extremo de dichos brazos, donde realmente se produce el pinzado.As is known, the conventional clamps of the aforementioned type are constituted by two arms, which were formerly made of wood and more recently are of a plastic nature, related to each other by means of a spring located at a medium level, so that said spring tends to separate the ends of said arms corresponding to the manual actuation thereof in the direction of opening, and close the other end of said arms, where the pinching actually occurs.
Más recientemente son conocidas también pinzas en las que los dos brazos forman un conjunto monopieza, de naturaleza plástica, actuando el nexo de unión entre ellos y merced a la naturaleza elástica del material plástico utilizado en la fabricación de la pinza, como resorte que tiende al cierre de la misma.More recently, clamps are also known in which the two arms form a single-piece assembly, of a plastic nature, acting as a link between them and thanks to the elastic nature of the plastic material used in the manufacture of the clamp, as a spring that tends to closing of it.
En cualquier caso las pinzas convencionales presentan como denominador común la existencia en cada uno de sus brazos de una o dos acanaladuras que constitu- yen respectivas zonas de pinzado, utilizables selectiva¬ mente, de manera que el elemento a suspender, por ejemplo una prenda de ropa, debe adaptarse o plegarse sobre la cuerda o elemento de sustentación, recibiendo conjunta- mente con esta última el efecto de pinzado, solución que en muchos casos no es la más idónea, ya que la citada cuerda o elemento de sustentación origina deformaciones en el objeto a suspender, que en muchas ocasiones resultan difíciles o imposibles de corregir, como por ejemplo cuando se cuelga a secar el papel fotográfico, tras su impresión.In any case, the conventional clamps have as a common denominator the existence in each of their arms of one or two grooves that constitute and in respective clamping areas, selectively usable, so that the element to be suspended, for example a piece of clothing, must be adapted or folded onto the rope or support element, together with the latter receiving the clamping effect, solution that in many cases is not the most suitable, since the aforementioned rope or support element causes deformations in the object to be suspended, which in many cases are difficult or impossible to correct, such as when hanging photographic paper to dry , after printing.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La pinza que la invención propone, perteneciendo al tipo últimamente citado, es decir al tipo de las que están estructuradas mediante un cuerpo monopieza único, ha sido concebida en orden a resolver de forma plenamente satisfactoria&a problemática anteriormente expuesta.The clamp that the invention proposes, belonging to the type mentioned above, that is to say the type of those that are structured by means of a single-piece body, has been conceived in order to solve in a fully satisfactory way & to the problem previously exposed.
Para ello y de forma más concreta, dicha pinza está constituida, como es convencional, a partir de dos brazos relacionados entre sí con carácter monopieza a través de un nexo de unión, elásticamente deformable, que permite realizar las maniobras de apertura de la pinza, en contra de la deformación elástica de dicho nexo, pero con la especial particularidad de que tal nexo configura un tabique semicilíndrico, de considerable diámetro, que se prolonga en los propios brazos hasta conformar un anillo cilindrico, abierto, que además de cumplir su clásica función de nexo de unión elástica entre los dos brazos de la pinza, constituye un alo amien- to suficientemente amplio como para que la pinza pueda ser establecida, a través del imaginario eje de articu- lación entre sus brazos, sobre una cuerda o cualquier otro elemento filiforme de sustentación, en posición de cierre para los brazos de la pinza, pudiendo desplazar¬ se libremente a lo largo de dicha cuerda y realizándose la fijación del elemento a suspender directamente a través del sector operativo de sus brazos, sin que sea necesario que tal elemento a suspender entre en contacto con el elemento sustentador, es decir con la cuerda.To do this and more specifically, said clamp is constituted, as is conventional, from two interconnected arms with a single-piece character through an elastically deformable union nexus, which allows to perform the opening maneuvers of the clamp, against the elastic deformation of said nexus, but with the special feature that such a nexus forms a semi-cylindrical partition, of considerable diameter, which extends into the arms themselves to form an open, cylindrical ring, which in addition to fulfilling its classic function an elastic link between the two arms of the clamp, it constitutes a sufficiently wide housing so that the clamp can be established, through the imaginary axis of articulation between its arms, on a rope or any another filiform support element, in the closed position for the arms of the clamp, being able to move freely along said rope and fixing the element to be suspended directly through the operating sector of its arms, without it being necessary that such an element to be suspended comes into contact with the sustaining element, that is, with the rope.
Sin embargo y como es evidente, este alojamiento de considerable diámetro no es óbice para que la pinza pueda ser utilizada, si así se desea, como cualquier pinza convencional.However, and as is evident, this housing of considerable diameter is not an obstacle so that the clamp can be used, if desired, like any conventional clamp.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de esta figuras puede observars la pinza que se preconiza está estructurada, como es convencional, a partir de dos brazos (1-1'), que para una mayor ligereza y rigidez estructural adoptan una sección en doble T, o lo que es lo mismo, están constituí dos mediante un cuerpo laminar que se expande por sus bordes en una robusta aleta perimetral y transversal (2), estando dichos brazos provistos en una de sus dos mitades, la que ha de ser su mitad operativa, de una pareja de acanaladuras transversales (3-3')/ que definen zonasde trabajo claramente delimitadas, y estando dichos brazos (1-1') relacionados entre sí con carácter monopieza a través de un nexo intermedio de unión (4) , elásticamente deformable, merced a la naturaleza elástica del propio material plástico constitutivo de dicha pinza.In view of these figures you can see the clamp that is recommended is structured, as is conventional, from two arms (1-1 '), which for greater lightness and structural rigidity adopt a double T section, or what is the same, they are constituted by a laminar body that expands by its edges in a robust perimeter and transverse fin (2), said arms being provided in one of its two halves, which must be its operative half, of a pair of transverse grooves (3-3 ') / that define clearly defined work areas, and said arms (1-1') being interconnected with a single piece through an intermediate junction (4), elastically deformable, thanks to the elastic nature of the plastic material itself constituting said clamp.
Pues bien, de acuerdo con la esencialidad de la invención y como anteriormente se ha dicho, este nexo de unión (4) se materializa en un amplio tabique semi- cilíndrico, cuya amplitud se ve favorecida por la existen- -cia en los brazos (1-1') de respectivas escotaduras (5- 51), prolongándose este tabique semicilíndrico (4), en el seno de los brazos propiamente dichos (1-1') en bordes arqueados (6) que definen con el propio tabique semicilín¬ drico (4) un anillo (7), cilindrico, de considerable diámetro, dotado de una abertura radial (8) en correspon¬ dencia con el plano de trabajo para los sectores operati¬ vos de los brazos de la pinza.Well, in accordance with the essentiality of the invention and as previously stated, this connection nexus (4) is materialized in a wide semi-cylindrical partition, whose amplitude is favored by the existence in the arms ( 1-1 ') of respective recesses (5- 5 1 ), extending this semi-cylindrical partition (4), within the arms themselves (1-1') on arched edges (6) that define with the semi-cylinder partition itself ¬ drico (4) a ring (7), cylindrical, of considerable diameter, provided with a radial opening (8) corresponding to the work plane for the operative sectors of the caliper arms.
Como salta a la vista de la simple observación de la figura 1, el diámetro de este anillo central (7) es suficientemente amplio como para permitir que la pinza pueda adaptarse a una cuerda o filamento de sustentación considerablemente grueso manteniendo dicha pinza una situación de cierre total, en la que incluso es longitu- dinalmente desplazable a lo largo de la citada cuerda, y a partir de la cual puede realizar la fijación de cual- y quier cuerpo laminar, por reducido que sea su espesor, de forma totalmente independiente a dicha cuerda o ele- '* mentó de sustentación.As is evident from the simple observation of Figure 1, the diameter of this central ring (7) is wide enough to allow the clamp to adapt to a considerably thick rope or support filament keeping said clamp in a closed position. total, in which it is even longitudinally movable along said rope, and from which it can make the fixation of any- and any laminar body, no matter how small its thickness, totally independent of said rope or ele- ment * of support.
