Method for repairing a dent present on a wall, and repair device for the implementation thereof

Abstract

A method for repairing a dent situated on a wall includes hammering the dent using at least one ferromagnetic striker, positioned in line with the dent to be repaired, and at least one electromagnetic emitter that generates at least one electromagnetic field configured to animate the ferromagnetic striker according to alternating movements such that it hammers the wall. A repair device makes it possible to implement the method.

1 . A method for repairing a dent situated on a wall, the method comprising moving and putting at least one spherical ferromagnetic striker and at least one electromagnetic emitter in place on either side of the wall, until they are in line with the dent, and a hammering step during which the electromagnetic emitter generates at least one electromagnetic field configured to animate the ferromagnetic striker according to alternating movements such that it hammers the wall. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic emitter has at least one variable characteristic in order to animate the ferromagnetic striker with alternating movements. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the striker comprises a compressible coating made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , comprising activating the electromagnetic emitter at a first energy level making it possible to attract the ferromagnetic striker, and then moving the ferromagnetic striker as far as the dent by moving the electromagnetic emitter. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall separates outer and inner zones and comprises at least one through-orifice configured to make the outer and inner zones communicate, and wherein the method comprises introducing the ferromagnetic striker into the inner zone by passing it through the through-orifice. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the striker comprises a compressible coating and a core constituted of a set of metal microbeads, and wherein the striker is compressed so as to allow it to pass through the through-orifice. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the ferromagnetic striker is connected to a connector that extends between a first end connected to the ferromagnetic striker and a second end, the connector having a length such that, when the ferromagnetic striker is positioned in line with the dent in the inner zone, the second end is situated in the outer zone, and wherein the method comprises extracting the ferromagnetic striker by pulling on the connector from the outer zone. 
     
     
         8 . A repair device for implementing a method for repairing a dent situated on a wall that includes moving and putting at least one spherical ferromagnetic striker and at least one electromagnetic emitter in place on either side of the wall, until they are in line with the dent, and a hammering step during which the electromagnetic emitter generates at least one electromagnetic field configured to animate the ferromagnetic striker according to alternating movements such that it hammers the wall,
 wherein the repair device comprises the electromagnetic emitter that is configured to generate at least one electromagnetic field and at least one spherical ferromagnetic striker configured to be positioned in the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic emitter, the electromagnetic field being configured to animate the ferromagnetic striker according to alternating movements such that it hammers the wall.   
     
     
         9 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic emitter has at least one variable characteristic in order to animate the ferromagnetic striker with alternating movements. 
     
     
         10 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the striker comprises a compressible coating made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         11 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the electromagnetic emitter is configured to generate a substantially constant electromagnetic field that has a first energy level allowing the electromagnetic emitter to move the ferromagnetic striker. 
     
     
         12 . The repair device according to  claim 11 , wherein the pulsed electromagnetic field has an average energy level higher than the first energy level. 
     
     
         13 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the repair device comprises a connector that extends between a first end connected to the ferromagnetic striker and a second end, the connector having a length such that, when the ferromagnetic striker is positioned in line with the dent in an inner zone, the second end is situated in an outer zone that is separated from the inner zone by the wall. 
     
     
         14 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the ferromagnetic striker comprises a metal core and a compressible coating at least partially covering the core. 
     
     
         15 . The repair device according to  claim 8 , wherein the core comprises a set of metal microbeads.
