Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage pour porte, fenê­tre ou analogue, comprenant un élément fixe dans lequel coulisse un élément mobile, ce dernier étant pourvu de moyens de blocage du carré de manoeuvre d'une poignée de commande de ladite porte, fenêtre ou analogue.The invention relates to a locking device for a door, window or the like, comprising a fixed element in which a movable element slides, the latter being provided with means for blocking the operating square of a control handle of said door, window or similar.

Habituellement, le verrouillage d'une porte se fait par l'intermédiaire d'une crémone-serrure soit incorporée dans le chant de l'ouvrant, soit mise sur applique. Cette crémone-serrure comporte un mécanisme trans­mettant la commande de la poignée à des éléments de verrouillage tels que le pêne demi-tour ou des éléments de verrouillage situés à une certaine distance et reliés au mécanisme par des tringles de manoeuvre. Ces crémones-serrures comportent, en règle générale, une serrure à ba­rillet actionnée par une clef, cette serrure à barillet agit sur un pêne dormant. Les différents moyens de verrouillage constitués par les éléments de verrouillage, le pêne demi-tour et le pêne dormant néces­sitent um mécanisme fort complexe qui rehausse nécessairement le coût de la crémone-serrure.Usually, the locking of a door is done by means of a lock-bolt either incorporated in the edge of the door, or put on a wall. This bolt lock comprises a mechanism transmitting the command from the handle to locking elements such as the latch bolt or locking elements located at a certain distance and connected to the mechanism by operating rods. These cremone bolts include, as a general rule, a cylinder lock actuated by a key, this cylinder lock acts on a deadbolt. The different locking means constituted by the locking elements, the latch bolt and the dead bolt require a very complex mechanism which necessarily increases the cost of the bolt lock.

Par ailleurs, on connaît des crémones pourvues d'un pêne demi-tour et/ou d'éléments de verrouillage situés à une certaine distance du boîtier de la crémone et actionnés par des tringles de manoeuvre. L'effacement de tous ces éléments de verrouillage se fait uniquement à la base d'une poignée et non pas, comme c'était le cas d'une cré­mone-serrure, à la base également d'une clef d'une serrure à barillet.Furthermore, there are known cremone bolts provided with a latch bolt and / or locking elements situated at a certain distance from the casing of the cremone bolt and actuated by operating rods. The erasure of all these locking elements is done only at the base of a handle and not, as was the case with a lever-lock, also at the base of a key of a cylinder lock .

Fréquemment, les crémones indiqueés ci-dessus sont utilisées pour la fermeture et le verrouillage des portes et peuvent également servir pour la fermeture de fenêtres.Frequently, the cremone bolts indicated above are used for closing and locking doors and can also be used for closing windows.

Cependant, ces deux types de fermetures décrits ci-dessus présentent plusieurs inconvénients.However, these two types of closures described above have several drawbacks.

En ce qui concerne les crémones-serrures, comme déjà indiqué, il s'agit de moyens de fermeture fort onéreux et très complexes. Cette comple­xité des pièces risque également de diminuer la longévité des moyens de fermeture.As for the lock bolts, as already indicated, it is very expensive and very complex closing means. This complexity of the parts also risks reducing the longevity of the closure means.

Par contre, en ce qui concerne la crémone, il est possible de provo­quer l'ouverture en agissant depuis l'extérieur sur les éléments de verrouillage. S'il s'agit d'éléments de verrouillage montés sur des tringles, il suffit d'accrocher les éléments de verrouillage et de leur impliquer un mouvement vertical pour les dégager des gâches situées sur le dormant. Si la crémone comporte uniquement un pêne demi-tour, on peut, par un outil quelconque, provoquer l'effacement et le recul du pêne demi-tour, si ce dernier est en rotation autour d'un axe, on peut également provoquer son effacement en impliquant à ce pêne demi-tour une rotation en sens contraire.On the other hand, with regard to the cremone bolt, it is possible to cause the opening by acting from the outside on the locking elements. In the case of locking elements mounted on rods, it suffices to hang the locking elements and to involve them in a vertical movement to release them from the keepers located on the frame. If the cremone bolt only has a latch bolt, you can, by any tool, cause the erasure and the backward movement of the latch bolt, if the latter is rotating around an axis, you can also cause its erasure by involving in this latch bolt a rotation in opposite direction.

Or, l'effacement des éléments de verrouillage provoque automatique­ment la rotation de la poignée de manoeuvre. Il s'avère donc judi­cieux de condamner la rotation de la poignée pour annihiler toute action possible sur les éléments de verrouillage.However, the erasure of the locking elements automatically causes the rotation of the operating handle. It is therefore judicious to condemn the rotation of the handle to annihilate any possible action on the locking elements.

A cet effet, on a conçu une poignée dans laquelle est incorporé un dispositif de blocage. Cette poignée présente généralement une sec­tion importante car il y a lieu d'y incorporer l'ensemble des éléments constituant le dispositif de blocage. Pour des raisons de commodité, ladite poignée a une forme d'un bouton de section ronde. Cette solu­tion pour la condamnation d'une porte ou fenêtre ne peut s'appliquer qu'à une poignée bien déterminée et, de ce fait, limite nécessairement le choix de la poignée dans sa forme ainsi que dans son type. Par ailleurs, la section importante de la poignée peut également présenter un inconvénient, notamment si la porte ou la fenêtre comportent un ouvrant dont les montants verticaux sont de faible largeur.To this end, a handle has been designed in which a locking device is incorporated. This handle generally has a large section because it is necessary to incorporate therein all of the elements constituting the locking device. For convenience, said handle has the shape of a round section button. This solution for locking a door or window can only be applied to a well-defined handle and, therefore, necessarily limits the choice of the handle in its shape as well as in its type. Furthermore, the large section of the handle can also have a drawback, in particular if the door or the window has an opening whose vertical uprights are of small width.

De plus, on connaît, par le document DE-A-3.231.069, un dispositif de verrouillage destiné à bloquer le carré de manoeuvre d'une poignée de commande. Ce dispositif de verrouillage comporte un élément fixe cons­titué d'une plaquette d'une certaine épaisseur dans laquelle est usiné un évidement débouchant sur le bord supérieur de cette dernière. Un élément mobile est conçu de manière à coulisser dans cet évidement et bloquer le carré de manoeuvre d'une poignée de commande. A cet effet, ledit élément fixe et l'élément mobile présentent, tous deux, un orifice central servant de passage au carré de manoeuvre précité et autorisant la mise en place du dispositif de verrouillage entre la face interne d'un ouvrant et le fût de ladite poignée. Ce disposi­tif de verrouillage remplace, ainsi, la rosette accompagnant, en général, ces poignées de commande.In addition, document DE-A-3,231,069 discloses a locking device intended to block the operating square of a control handle. This locking device comprises a fixed element consisting of a plate of a certain thickness in which is machined a recess opening onto the upper edge of the latter. A movable element is designed to slide in this recess and block the operating square of a control handle. To this end, said fixed element and the movable element both have a central orifice serving as a passage to the aforementioned operating square and authorizing the installation of the locking device between the internal face of an opening leaf and the barrel of said handle. This locking device thus replaces the rosette accompanying, in general, these control handles.

Par ailleurs, l'élément mobile est à rappel élastique en position de blocage. Ce rappel élastique est obtenu par le biais de deux ressorts hélicoïdaux logés dans l'évidement de l'élément fixe et coopérant, respectivement, avec un épaulement usiné sur chacun des bords longi­tudinaux de la plaquette formant l'élément mobile.Furthermore, the movable element is spring return in the locked position. This elastic return is obtained by means of two helical springs housed in the recess of the fixed element and cooperating, respectively, with a shoulder machined on each of the longitudinal edges of the plate forming the mobile element.

De plus, ce dernier présente une lumière oblongue et une découpe si­tuées, respectivement, de part et d'autre de l'orifice central et coopérant avec des ouvertures réalisées dans l'élément fixe. La pré­sence de ces ouvertures assure le passage d'organes de fixation qui maintiennent le dispositif de verrouillage en applique sur la face interne de l'ouvrant.In addition, the latter has an oblong lumen and a cutout located, respectively, on either side of the central orifice and cooperating with openings made in the fixed element. The presence of these openings ensures the passage of fixing members which hold the locking device applied to the internal face of the opening.

L'inconvénient que présente ce dispositif de verrouillage réside dans sa fonction de blocage automatique et systématique du carré de manoeuvre de la poignée de commande. En effet, un tel dispositif de verrouillage n'autorise, en aucun cas, l'ouverture bilatérale d'une porte, fenêtre ou analogue étant donné qu'il est impératif de manipu­ler l'élément mobile à rappel élastique pour déverrouiller cette der­nière. Ceci peut être particulièrement gênant, notamment lorsque la­dite porte ou fenêtre vient à se refermer de manière inopinée et em­pêche l'usager de pénétrer ou de sortie d'un local.The disadvantage of this locking device lies in its automatic and systematic blocking function of the operating square of the control handle. In fact, such a locking device in no case authorizes the bilateral opening of a door, window or the like since it is imperative to manipulate the movable element with elastic return to unlock the latter. This can be particularly annoying, in particular when said door or window unexpectedly closes and prevents the user from entering or leaving a room.

En conséquence, ce dispositif de verrouillage connu ne peut trouver son utilité que dans des conditions particulières et non dans le ca­dre d'habitations traditionnelles.Consequently, this known locking device can only find its usefulness in special conditions and not in the context of traditional dwellings.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.

L'invention telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications résout le problème consistant à créer un dispositif de verrouillage pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, comprenant un élément fixe dans le­quel coulisse un élément mobile, ce dernier étant pourvu de moyens de blocage du carré de manoeuvre d'une poignée de commande de ladite porte, fenêtre ou analogue, ce dispositif de verrouillage comportant, en outre, des moyens pour immobiliser, en position verrouillée ou dé­verrouillée, l'élément mobile par rapport à l'élément fixe.The invention as characterized in the claims solves the problem of creating a locking device for door, window or the like, comprising a fixed element in which a movable element slides, the latter being provided with means for blocking the square for operating a control handle of said door, window or the like, this locking device further comprising means for immobilizing, in the locked or unlocked position, the element movable relative to the fixed element.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent, essentielle­ment, en ce que la commande du verrouillage ou du déverrouillage d'une porte ou fenêtre munie d'un tel dispositif, impose l'interven­tion de l'usager. De ce fait, ce dispositif de verrouillage peut ai­sément venir se substituer aux crémones-serrures habituellement utili­sées dans une habitation.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in that the control of the locking or unlocking of a door or window provided with such a device requires the intervention of the user. Therefore, this locking device can easily replace the cremone bolts usually used in a home.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de dessins représentant seulement un mode d'exécution.

  • FIG. 2 represents the locking device shown in FIG. 1 laterally.
  • FIG. 3 shows in plan and in section along III-III the locking device of FIG. 1.

On se réfère aux différentes figures.We refer to the different figures.

Le dispositif de verrouillage 1 pour porte ou fenêtre comporte, selon l'invention, des moyens de blocage 2 du carré de manoeuvre 3 d'une poi­gnée de commande de porte ou fenêtre, cette poignée n'étant pas repré­sentée dans les figures.The locking device 1 for door or window comprises, according to the invention, locking means 2 of the operating square 3 of a door or window control handle, this handle not being shown in the figures.

Ce dispositif de verrouillage 1, intercalé entre la face intérieure de l'ouvrant de la porte ou fenêtre et le fût de la poignée de comman­ de, est enfilé sur le carré de manoeuvre 3 de ladite poignée.This locking device 1, interposed between the inner face of the door or window opening and the barrel of the control handle of, is threaded onto the operating square 3 of said handle.

Selon un mode d'exécution préférentiel de la présente invention, le dispositif de verrouillage 1 se compose de deux éléments, à savoir un élément fixe 4 et un élément mobile 5. L'élément mobile 5 est monté coulissant dans l'élément fixe 4 et comporte les moyens de blo­cage 2 du carré de manoeuvre 3 de la poignée de commande. Il est à noter que ce dispositif de verrouillage 1 est parfaitement symétrique par rapport au plan médian vertical 6.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking device 1 consists of two elements, namely a fixed element 4 and a mobile element 5. The mobile element 5 is slidably mounted in the fixed element 4 and comprises the locking means 2 of the operating square 3 of the control handle. It should be noted that this locking device 1 is perfectly symmetrical with respect to the vertical median plane 6.

L'élément fixe 4 est constitué d'une plaquette 7 métallique ou plas­tique de forme préférentiellement rectangulaire et d'épaisseur 8 ré­duite. Cette plaquette 7 présente, sur sa face frontale 9 et dans le sens longitudinal, un évidement 10 débouchant sur le bord supérieur 11 de la plaquette 7. La profondeur 12 de l'évidement 10 est approximati­vement égale à la moitié de l'épaisseur 8 de la plaquette 7.The fixed element 4 consists of a metallic or plastic plate 7 of preferably rectangular shape and of reduced thickness 8. This plate 7 has, on its front face 9 and in the longitudinal direction, a recess 10 leading to the upper edge 11 of the plate 7. The depth 12 of the recess 10 is approximately equal to half the thickness 8 of plate 7.

Dans cet évidement 10 vient se placer l'élément mobile 5. Ce dernier est constitué d'une plaquette de préférence métallique dont la forme est en concordance avec celle de l'évidement 10. A cet effet, l'élé­ment mobile 5 présente une largeur 13 légèrement inférieure à la lar­geur de l'évidement 10. D'autre part, l'épaisseur 14 de la plaquette constituant l'élément mobile 5 est légèrement inférieure à la profon­deur 12 de l'évidement 10. Ainsi, l'élément mobile 5 peut coulisser librement dans l'évidement 10 de la plaquette 7.In this recess 10 is placed the movable element 5. The latter consists of a preferably metallic plate whose shape is in agreement with that of the recess 10. For this purpose, the movable element 5 has a width 13 slightly less than the width of the recess 10. On the other hand, the thickness 14 of the plate constituting the movable element 5 is slightly less than the depth 12 of the recess 10. Thus, the movable element 5 can slide freely in the recess 10 of the plate 7.

Après montage de l'élément mobile 5 dans l'élément fixe 4, le disposi­tif de verrouillage 1 est engagé sur le carré de manoeuvre 3 de la poignée de commande de la porte ou fenêtre. A cet effet, la plaquette 7 et l'élément mobile 5 comportent un orifice central 28,29 dans le­quel est engagé le carré de manoeuvre 3.After mounting the mobile element 5 in the fixed element 4, the locking device 1 is engaged on the operating square 3 of the control handle of the door or window. To this end, the plate 7 and the movable element 5 comprise a central orifice 28, 29 in which the operating square 3 is engaged.

L'élément mobile présente, en outre, une découpe 30 débouchant dans l'orifice central 29, cette découpe 30 étant disposée dans le sens longitudinal du dispositif de verrouillage 1. Par ailleurs, cette découpe 30 présente une largeur 31 légèrement supérieure à la lon­gueur d'un côté 32 du carré de manoeuvre 3 et, par voie de conséquence, est inférieure à la diagonale du carré de manoeuvre 3.The movable element further has a cutout 30 opening into the central orifice 29, this cutout 30 being arranged in the longitudinal direction of the locking device 1. Furthermore, this cutout 30 has a width 31 slightly greater than the length on one side 32 of the operating square 3 and, consequently, is less than the diagonal of the operating square 3.

Ainsi, lorsque l'élément mobile 5 est en position haute (tel que re­présenté dans la figure 1), le carré de manoeuvre 3 est engagé dans l'orifice central 29 de l'élément mobile 5 autorisant, de ce fait, la libre rotation dudit carré de manoeuvre 3. Par contre, sous l'ac­tion d'une pression exercée sur l'extremité supérieure 33 de l'élément mobile 5, les ergots 17,18 coulissent dans les rainures 23,24,25,26 et la découpe 30 vient s'engager sur le carré de manoeuvre 3 immobili­sant ce dernier en rotation.Thus, when the movable element 5 is in the high position (as shown in FIG. 1), the operating square 3 is engaged in the central orifice 29 of the movable element 5 thereby allowing free rotation said operating square 3. By cons, under the action of a pressure exerted on the upper end 33 of the movable member 5, the pins 17,18 slide in the grooves 23,24,25,26 and the cut 30 comes to engage on the operating square 3 immobilizing the latter in rotation.

Cette coopération de la découpe 30 avec le carré de manoeuvre 3, lors du coulissement de l'élément mobile 5 dans l'élément fixe 4, consti­tue les moyens de blocage 2 du dispositif de verrouillage 1.This cooperation of the cutout 30 with the operating square 3, during the sliding of the mobile element 5 in the fixed element 4, constitutes the locking means 2 of the locking device 1.

La plaquette 7 comporte également deux autres orifices 34 et 35 dis­posés de part et d'autre de l'orifice central 28 et servant au passa­ge d'organes de fixation tels que vis ou autres. De même, l'élément mobile 5 présente une lumière oblongue 36 et une découpe 37 dans les­quelles viennent s'engager lesdits organes de fixation. Ces derniers coopèrent avec le chant inférieur de la lumière oblongue 36 et le chant supérieur de la découpe 37 pour limiter la course de l'élément mobile 5 dans l'élément fixe 4. La longueur de cette course correspond à la longueur de la découpe 30 de sorte que l'élément mobile 5 coulisse entre une position de verrouillage et une position de déverrouillage.The plate 7 also comprises two other orifices 34 and 35 arranged on either side of the central orifice 28 and serving for the passage of fixing members such as screws or the like. Likewise, the movable element 5 has an oblong opening 36 and a cutout 37 in which the said fixing members engage. The latter cooperate with the lower edge of the oblong slot 36 and the upper edge of the cutout 37 to limit the stroke of the movable element 5 in the fixed element 4. The length of this stroke corresponds to the length of the cutout 30 so that the movable member 5 slides between a locked position and an unlocked position.

De plus, l'élément mobile 5 comporte à l'extremité supérieure 33 une languette de commande 38 facilitant la manoeuvre du dispositif de ver­rouillage 1.In addition, the mobile element 5 comprises at the upper end 33 a control tab 38 facilitating the operation of the locking device 1.

L'intérêt du dispositif de verrouillage 1, conforme à l'invention, consiste à donner à l'usager la possibilité de bloquer à volonté le carré de manoeuvre d'une poignée de commande de porte, fenêtre ou ana­logue. Dans ce but, ce dispositif de verrouillage est pourvu, avantageu­sement, de moyens 39 pour immobiliser, en position verrouillée ou dé­verrouillée, l'élément mobile 5 par rapport à l'élément fixe 4. Il est, en effet, indispensable d'éviter un blocage ou un déblocage inopiné dudit carré de manoeuvre sans l'intervention de l'usager. Ceci pour­rait empêcher à ce dernier de sortir ou d'entrer dans un local ainsi verrouillé, ou, au contraire, faciliter l'entrée dans une habitation à un aigrefin.The advantage of the locking device 1, according to the invention, consists in giving the user the possibility of blocking at will the operating square of a door, window or similar control handle. For this purpose, this locking device is advantageously provided with means 39 for immobilizing, in the locked or unlocked position, the movable element 5 relative to the fixed element 4. It is, in fact, essential to avoid a unexpected blocking or unblocking said operating square without the intervention of the user. This could prevent the latter from leaving or entering a room thus locked, or, on the contrary, facilitate entry into a home for a shark.

Selon un mode d'exécution préférentiel, ces moyens 39 sont constitués, d'une part, par deux ergots 17, 18 disposés sur chacun des bords lon­gitudinaux 15,16 de l'élément mobile 5 et venant s'engager dans des lumières 19,20,21,22 réalisés dans la plaquette 7. Ces ergots 17,18 de forme spécifique sont légèrement décalés par rapport au plan de l'élément mobile 5 de manière à pouvoir s'engager dans des rainures 23,24,25,26 réalisés dans la face dorsale 27 de la plaquette 7, ces rainures 23,24,25,26 étant situées dans le prolongement des lumières respectivement 19,20,21,22.According to a preferred embodiment, these means 39 consist, on the one hand, of two lugs 17, 18 arranged on each of the longitudinal edges 15, 16 of the movable element 5 and coming to engage in slots 19, 20,21,22 made in the plate 7. These lugs 17,18 of specific shape are slightly offset from the plane of the movable element 5 so as to be able to engage in grooves 23,24,25,26 made in the dorsal face 27 of the plate 7, these grooves 23,24,25,26 being located in the extension of the slots 19,20,21,22 respectively.

D'autre part, les moyens 39, servant à immobiliser l'élément mobile 5 par rapport à l'élément fixe 4 en position verrouillée ou déverrouil­lée, sont complétés par des éléments élastiques (non représentés sur les figures) insérés dans les rainures 23,24,25,26 de la plaquette 7 et coopérant avec les ergots 17,18. Plus précisément, ces éléments élastiques ont pour fonction d'augmenter sensiblement les forces de frottement exercées sur les ergots 17,18 à l'intérieur desdites rai­nures 23,24,25,26 lorsque l'élément mobile 5 vient à atteindre ses positions extrêmes de blocage ou de déblocage du carré de manoeuvre.Furthermore, the means 39, serving to immobilize the movable element 5 relative to the fixed element 4 in the locked or unlocked position, are supplemented by elastic elements (not shown in the figures) inserted in the grooves 23, 24,25,26 of the plate 7 and cooperating with the lugs 17,18. More specifically, these elastic elements have the function of substantially increasing the frictional forces exerted on the pins 17,18 inside said grooves 23,24,25,26 when the movable element 5 comes to reach its extreme positions of blocking or unblocking of the operating square.

Ainsi, selon un premier mode de réalisation, les éléments élastiques sont constitués par des organes en matière plastique, métallique ou autre, faisant saillie par rapport au fond 40 des rainures 23,24,25,­26. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, on insère dans le fond 40 de ces dernières et à des emplacements déterminés, des billes à rap­pel élastique destinées à venir s'imbriquer faiblement dans un évide­ment de forme hémisphérique usiné dans la face avant 41 des ergots 17,18, lorsque l'élément mobile 5 est en position de blocage ou de dé­blocage du carré de manoeuvre 3.Thus, according to a first embodiment, the elastic elements consist of members made of plastic, metallic or other material, projecting relative to the bottom 40 of the grooves 23,24,25,26. According to another embodiment, there are inserted into the bottom 40 of the latter and at determined locations, balls with elastic return intended to come to nest slightly in a recess of hemispherical shape machined in the front face 41 of the lugs 17, 18, when the mobile element 5 is in the blocking or unblocking position of the operating square 3.

En raison de ces particularités, le dispositif de verrouillage 1 peut être commandé selon les désirs de l'usager, sans qu'il y ait un risque de fonctionnement aléatoire. Par ailleurs, son montage est facilité grâce à l'assemblage possible entre l'élément fixe 4 et l'élément mobile 5.Due to these features, the locking device 1 can be controlled according to the wishes of the user, without there being a risk. random operation. Furthermore, its mounting is facilitated by the possible assembly between the fixed element 4 and the mobile element 5.

Un tel dispositif de verrouillage 1, conforme à la présente invention, est adaptable sur tout type de poignée de commande d'une porte ou fenêtre et pourra aisément s'escamoter derrière la rosette acompa­gnant, en général, ladite poignée de commande.Such a locking device 1, in accordance with the present invention, is adaptable to any type of control handle of a door or window and can easily be retracted behind the rosette accompanying, in general, said control handle.

A cet effet, selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le disposi­tif de verrouillage 1 et la rosette sont fixés sur l'ouvrant de la porte ou fenêtre par des organes de fixation communs.To this end, according to one embodiment of the invention, the locking device 1 and the rosette are fixed to the opening of the door or window by common fixing members.
