Description

La présente invention se réfère au domaine des boîtiers antivol constitués par deux coques articulées verrouillable par un mécanisme désactivable seulement à l'aide d'un déverrouilleur spécifique. Ces boîtiers incorporent de façon connue un moyen interagissant électromagnétiquement (par radio-fréquence ou couplage magnétoacoustique, ou encore par une étiquette RFID) avec un portique disposé à la sortie d'un espace en libre-service. En cas de sortie frauduleuse d'un article protégé par un tel boîtier, le boîtier déclenche une alarme lors du passage non pas devant la caisse de paiement, mais devant un passage équipé d'un portique de détection.The present invention refers to the field of anti-theft housings consisting of two hinged hulls lockable by a deactivatable mechanism only with the aid of a specific unlocker. These housings incorporate in known manner an electromagnetically interacting means (by radio frequency or magnetoacoustic coupling, or by an RFID tag) with a gantry disposed at the exit of a self-service space. In case of fraudulent release of an article protected by such a housing, the case triggers an alarm when passing not in front of the payment box, but in front of a passage equipped with a gantry detection.

Pour contourner ce type de protection, une solution consiste à forcer le boîtier pour extraire l'article.To work around this type of protection, one solution is to force the enclosure to retrieve the article.

État de la techniqueState of the art

Il est connu dans l'état de la technique un boîtier amélioré comprenant un émetteur sonore déclenché par l'ouverture frauduleuse du boîtier. Cette solution consiste de façon assez prosaïque à associer un boîtier antivol et une alarme sonore, le boîtier antivol remplissant sa fonction habituelle de déclenchement de l'alarme lors du passage dans un portique, et l'alarme remplissant sa fonction bien connue d'alarme sonore en cas d'ouverture frauduleuse du boîtier.It is known in the state of the art an improved housing comprising a sound transmitter triggered by the fraudulent opening of the housing. This solution is rather prosaic enough to combine an antitheft box and an audible alarm, the antitheft box performing its usual function of triggering the alarm when passing through a gantry, and the alarm fulfilling its well-known sound alarm function in case of fraudulent opening of the case.

La demande de brevet internationale W007081670 décrit un boîtier de stockage sécurisé permettant la conservation d'un article de marchandise. Le contenant de stockage est sous forme de boîte présentant un socle et un couvercle, avec l'article de marchandise reçu dans le socle. Le couvercle est verrouillé au socle par un mécanisme de verrouillage.

La demande de brevet européen EP1841935A1 décrit un coffre antivol pour la protection de biens comportant un corps principal définissant un espace intérieur pour les biens à protéger, un couvercle assurant la fermeture dudit corps principal, un émetteur d'alarme déclenchant une alerte centrale lors du passage du coffre antivol d'un portail d'alerte, et un verrou libérable assurant le verrouillage du couvercle au corps principal. Le coffre antivol selon l'invention comporte également un circuit d'alarme interne qui est commandé à être amorcé lorsque le verrou libérable se trouve dans une position de verrouillage et désamorcé lorsque le verrou libérable se trouve dans une position non verrouillée. Le circuit d'alarme interne comporte un premier interrupteur, qui dans l'état amorcé est agencé à déclencher le circuit d'alarme pour l'émission d'un signal sonore dans le cas où le premier interrupteur indique la séparation du couvercle et du corps principal.The European patent application EP1841935A1 discloses an anti-theft safe for the protection of goods comprising a main body defining an interior space for the goods to be protected, a cover ensuring the closure of said main body, an alarm transmitter triggering a central alert when passing the antitheft lock of a warning gate, and a releasable latch securing the lid to the main body. The anti-theft safe according to the invention also includes an internal alarm circuit which is controlled to be initiated when the releasable lock is in a lock position and de-energized when the releasable lock is in an unlocked position. The internal alarm circuit comprises a first switch, which in the primed state is arranged to trigger the alarm circuit for the transmission of a sound signal in the case where the first switch indicates the separation of the cover and the main body.

Inconvénients des dispositifs de l'état de la techniqueDisadvantages of state-of-the-art devices

Ces solutions présentent toutefois deux problèmes techniques.These solutions, however, have two technical problems.

Le premier problème est que l'activation du dispositif sonore se fait d'une manière simultanée et indissociable avec le verrouillage du boîtier.The first problem is that the activation of the sound device is done simultaneously and inseparable with the locking of the housing.

La solution de l'art antérieur ne permet pas de verrouiller le boîtier dans un premier temps, puis d'enclencher l'alarme sonore lorsque le boîtier est effectivement mis en place en rayon. Il en résulte des problèmes d'autonomie, car l'alarme sonore consomme même au repos de l'énergie, ce qui réduit l'autonomie lorsque le boîtier est conservé en stock, en attente de rangement sur le rayon libre-service.The solution of the prior art does not allow to lock the housing at first, and then trigger the audible alarm when the housing is actually put in place on the shelf. This results in problems of autonomy, because the sound alarm consumes even at rest energy, which reduces the autonomy when the case is kept in stock, waiting for storage on the self-service.

Un deuxième problème est que le mécanisme de déclenchement de l'alarme sonore n'agit que dans certains types d'ouverture forcée, et n'empêche pas totalement une ouverture par la rupture de l'articulation prévue à l'opposé du mécanisme de verrouillage, avec un maintien de la partie verrouillée en position.A second problem is that the mechanism for triggering the audible alarm acts only in certain types of forced opening, and does not completely prevent an opening by the rupture of the articulation provided opposite the locking mechanism , with a holding of the locked part in position.

Solution apportée par l'inventionSolution provided by the invention

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un boîtier antivol comprenant un ensemble de sécurité permettant d'activer indépendamment la fonction d'alarme locale d'une part et la fonction d'antivol lors du passage dans le portique de détection d'autre part, avec une sensibilité et fiabilité améliorées lors de l'ouverture forcée du boîtier.The object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by proposing an antitheft box comprising a security assembly for independently activating the local alarm function on the one hand and the anti-theft function when passing through the detection gantry on the other hand, with improved sensitivity and reliability during the forced opening of the housing.

À cet effet, l'invention concerne selon son acception la plus générale un boîtier antivol composé de deux coques articulées à l'une des extrémités par une charnière et présentant à l'autre extrémité un moyen de verrouillage comprenant une alarme sonore et une première tirette mobile en translation et activable par une action sur la paroi frontale du mécanisme de verrouillage, et agissant sur le moyen de verrouillage des deux coques lorsqu'elles sont assemblées, caractérisé en ce que le boîtier comporte une deuxième tirette mobile en translation indépendamment de la première tirette, activable par une action distincte sur la paroi frontale du mécanisme de verrouillage, assurant l'activation de l'alarme sonore.To this end, the invention relates in its most general sense to an antitheft housing consisting of two shells hinged at one end by a hinge and having at the other end a locking means comprising an audible alarm and a first zipper movable in translation and activatable by an action on the front wall of the locking mechanism, and acting on the locking means of the two shells when assembled, characterized in that the housing comprises a second movable zipper in translation independently of the first zipper, activatable by a separate action on the front wall of the locking mechanism, ensuring the activation of the audible alarm.

Cette structure permet de commander séparément le verrouillage et l'activation de l'alarme.This structure makes it possible to separately control the locking and the activation of the alarm.

Avantageusement, le mécanisme de verrouillage forme un dispositif de sécurité présentant une partie supérieure dont l'une des faces frontales présente deux ouvertures pour le passage de l'extrémité des deux tirettes mobiles et une partie inférieure de plus grande section présentant une ouverture pour l'interaction entre le mécanisme de verrouillage et une partie complémentaire prévue sur l'une desdites coques, ledit dispositif étant configuré pour être engagé dans l'une des coques.Advantageously, the locking mechanism forms a safety device having an upper part of which one of the end faces has two openings for the passage of the end of the two movable drawbars and a lower part of larger section having an opening for the interaction between the locking mechanism and a complementary part provided on one of said shells, said device being configured to be engaged in one of the shells.

Cette solution permet d'utiliser le même dispositif de verrouillage avec des boîtiers de taille et de contenance différentes.This solution makes it possible to use the same locking device with housings of different size and capacity.

Avantageusement, le boîtier comporte un détecteur venant en contact avec le bord de l'une des coques lorsque le boîtier est en position fermée.Advantageously, the housing comprises a detector coming into contact with the edge of one of the shells when the housing is in the closed position.

De préférence, ledit détecteur est un contacteur intégré dans ledit dispositif de sécurité en ce que les coques viennent en appui, en position fermé, sur les faces opposées dudit dispositif de sécurité, en décalage par rapport audit contacteur.Preferably, said detector is a contactor integrated in said safety device in that the shells are supported, in closed position, on the opposite faces of said safety device, offset from said contactor.

Cette réalisation provoque la libération du contacteur même lorsque l'ouverture forcée du boîtier se fait depuis l'extrémité opposée du dispositif de verrouillage. Le décalage des bords des coques produit un bras de levier qui amplifie le débattement qui se produit alors au niveau de la ligne de contact entre les bords des deux coques et la surface latérale du dispositif enfermant le mécanisme de verrouillage et d'alarme.This embodiment causes the release of the contactor even when the forced opening of the housing is from the opposite end of the locking device. Shifting the edges of the shells produces a lever arm that amplifies the movement that then occurs at the line of contact between the edges of the two shells and the side surface of the device enclosing the locking mechanism and alarm.

De préférence, le mécanisme de verrouillage est bloqué en position de verrouillage par au moins un organe mobile interagissant magnétiquement avec un déverrouilleur spécifique, et en ce que la tirette mobile d'activation de l'alarme est bloquée en position d'alarme par au moins un organe mobile interagissant magnétiquement avec ledit déverrouilleur spécifique.Preferably, the locking mechanism is locked in the locking position by at least one movable member interacting magnetically with a specific unlocker, and in that the mobile tab for activating the alarm is locked in the alarm position by at least a movable member magnetically interacting with said specific unlocker.

Selon un exemple de réalisation particulier, le circuit électronique comprend une bobine placée en position centrale avec une orientation longitudinale. Le but est d'éviter que l'application d'un champ magnétique extérieur ne vienne perturber le fonctionnement de l'alarme.According to a particular embodiment, the electronic circuit comprises a coil placed in a central position with a longitudinal orientation. The aim is to prevent the application of an external magnetic field from disturbing the operation of the alarm.

Alternativement, le circuit électronique de l'alarme comprend un blindage électromagnétique empêchant la perturbation par un champ magnétique extérieur.Alternatively, the electronic circuit of the alarm comprises an electromagnetic shielding preventing disturbance by an external magnetic field.

Selon une autre variante avantageuse, le mécanisme de verrouillage comprend au moins trois points de verrouillage indépendants. Ces points peuvent être des masselottes mobiles longitudinalement et/ou transversalement, ou encore pour certains des points, une lame flexible interagissant avec un épaulement pour bloquer la tirette de verrouillage.According to another advantageous variant, the locking mechanism comprises at least three independent locking points. These points may be movable flyweights longitudinally and / or transversely, or for some of the points, a flexible blade interacting with a shoulder to block the locking zipper.

Selon une autre variante, les moyens d'alarme comprennent en outre un émetteur radiofréquence. Cet émetteur est activé simultanément avec l'alarme sonore pour émettre un signal d'information permettant à un poste de télésurveillance de déclencher une interception du porteur tentant de forcer le boîtier.According to another variant, the alarm means further comprise a radiofrequency transmitter. This transmitter is activated simultaneously with the audible alarm to emit an information signal enabling a central station to trigger an interception of the carrier attempting to force the housing.

The emergent portion (9) constitutes the trigger containing the locking mechanism. The safety device (7) can be engaged in the window (6) of the shell (2) from the inside when the housing is open. When the housing is closed, the safety device (7) can no longer be removed.

Cette réalisation permet une grande modularité d'un système comprenant des boîtiers de différentes dimensions, mais exploitant tous le même dispositif de sécurité (7).This embodiment allows a great modularity of a system comprising housings of different dimensions, but all using the same safety device (7).

Ce dispositif de sécurité incorpore deux mécanismes indépendants, l'une assurant de façon connue le verrouillage du boîtier en position fermée, l'autre assurant l'activation et la désactivation d'une alarme intégrée dans le dispositif, et comprenant une pile d'alimentation (10) et un transducteur acoustique (11). Le dispositif comprend également un contacteur (15) disposé pour interagir avec le bord de la coque opposée lorsque le boîtier est fermé.This safety device incorporates two independent mechanisms, one ensuring in known manner the locking of the housing in the closed position, the other ensuring the activation and deactivation of an integrated alarm in the device, and comprising a supply battery (10) and an acoustic transducer (11). The device also includes a switch (15) arranged to interact with the edge of the opposite shell when the housing is closed.

Les figures 3 et 4 représentent une vue agrandie d'une variante de réalisation d'un tel dispositif de sécurité.The figures 3 and 4 represent an enlarged view of an alternative embodiment of such a safety device.

La partie émergée (9) présente une face frontale transversale (12) présentant deux fentes pour le passage des extrémités (13, 14) de deux tirettes mobiles actionnant l'une le mécanisme de verrouillage et l'autre l'alarme intégrée.The emergent portion (9) has a transverse front face (12) having two slots for the passage of the ends (13, 14) of two movable pulls actuating one the locking mechanism and the other integrated alarm.

Le dispositif comprend de façon connue des masselottes (16, 17, 18) disposées de façon codée pour interagir magnétiquement avec des aimants prévus sur le déverrouilleur. Une ou plusieurs des masselottes assurent le blocage de la tirette de verrouillage (14) en position verrouillée, et une ou plusieurs autres masselottes assurent le blocage de la tirette (13) d'activation de l'alarme lorsque celle-ci est en position d'alarme. Il n'est ainsi possible de désactiver l'alarme que lorsqu'on dispose du déverrouilleur ad hoc. Ces masselottes (16, 17) présentent un épaulement (26, 27) empêchant le désengagement par un simple choc, et imposant que le déblocage ne puisse être réalisé que par l'action conjointe du déverrouilleur et d'une pression perpendiculaire au déplacement des masselottes exercée sur l'extrémité des tirettes (13, 14).The device comprises, in known manner, flyweights (16, 17, 18) arranged in coded manner to interact magnetically with magnets provided on the unlocker. One or more of the weights lock the locking puller (14) in the locked position, and one or more other weights ensure the locking of the pull tab (13) for activation of the alarm when it is in position d 'alarm. It is thus possible to deactivate the alarm only when the ad hoc unlocker is available. These weights (16, 17) have a shoulder (26, 27) preventing the disengagement by a simple shock, and imposing that the unlocking can be achieved only by the joint action of the unlocker and a pressure perpendicular to the movement of the weights exerted on the end of the drawbars (13, 14).

Le dispositif présente des lumières latérales (19, 20) pour le passage de griffes (51) prévues sur la coque opposée, ces griffes (51) interagissant avec le mécanisme de verrouillage pour empêcher l'ouverture du boîtier lorsque celui-ci est verrouillé (voir figure 7).The device has lateral slots (19, 20) for the passage of claws (51) provided on the opposite shell, these claws (51) interacting with the locking mechanism to prevent opening of the casing when the latter is locked ( see figure 7 ).

Les tirettes (13, 14) sont associées à des ressorts (22) qui les repoussent en position de déverrouillage et de désactivation de l'alarme, lorsque le déverrouilleur libère les masselottes interagissant avec la tirette de verrouillage et/ou avec la tirette interagissant avec l'alarme intégrée.The drawbars (13, 14) are associated with springs (22) which push them back to the unlocking and deactivating position of the alarm, when the unlocker releases the weights interacting with the locking zipper and / or with the interacting zipper. the integrated alarm.

La tirette de verrouillage (13) présente une échancrure (29) longitudinale pour permettre le déplacement de la masselotte (50) mobile transversalement et assurant le blocage de la tirette d'alarme (14), aussi bien lorsque la tirette de verrouillage (14) est en position de verrouillage que lorsqu'elle est en position de libération des coques.The locking puller (13) has a longitudinal indentation (29) for moving the counterweight (50) transversely movable and securing the alarm puller (14), both when the locking pull (14) is in the locking position when it is in the position of release hulls.

Bien entendu, l'utilisation de masselotte pour assurer le blocage des tirettes est une solution connue, qui pourrait être remplacée par d'autres moyens de blocage tels qu'une lame flexible interagissant magnétiquement avec un aimant d'un déverrouilleur.Of course, the use of flyweight for locking the drawbars is a known solution, which could be replaced by other locking means such as a flexible blade magnetically interacting with a magnet of an unlocker.

La figure 6 montre une vue de face du dispositif de sécurité. La face frontale (12) présente deux fentes pour le passage d'une tirette (13) pour l'activation de l'alarme et d'une tirette (14) pour le verrouillage. L'utilisateur peut actionner indépendamment l'une ou l'autre tirette selon la fonction qu'il souhaite activer.The figure 6 shows a front view of the security device. The front face (12) has two slots for the passage of a pull tab (13) for activating the alarm and a pull tab (14) for locking. The user can independently operate one or the other zipper according to the function he wishes to activate.

Le dispositif présente par ailleurs une fente longitudinale (30) destinée à l'engagement du bord de la coque opposée. Au fond de cette fente est logé le contacteur dont le palpeur (25) affleure à la surface du fond de la gorge (30).The device also has a longitudinal slot (30) for engaging the edge of the opposite shell. At the bottom of this slot is housed the contactor whose probe (25) is flush with the surface of the bottom of the groove (30).

La figure 7 présente une vue en coupe transversale d'un boîtier équipé d'un tel dispositif de sécurité.The figure 7 has a cross-sectional view of a housing equipped with such a safety device.

Le dispositif de sécurité est monté sur l'une des coques (1). L'arête longitudinale (32) de la coque complémentaire (2) vient s'insérer dans la fente (30), dont le fond présente un contacteur (25). Ce contacteur interagit avec une zone centrale de l'arête de la coque complémentaire. Le centrage permet d'obtenir l'effet le plus efficace pour un déclenchement en cas d'ouverture forcée, quel que soit le mode de contrainte exercée sur les deux coques.The safety device is mounted on one of the hulls (1). The longitudinal edge (32) of the complementary shell (2) is inserted into the slot (30), whose bottom has a contactor (25). This contactor interacts with a central zone of the edge of the complementary shell. Centering makes it possible to obtain the most effective effect for triggering in the event of forced opening, whatever the mode of stress exerted on the two shells.

Lorsque les deux coques sont assemblées, le contacteur est activé et. commande l'arrêt de l'alarme. Par contre, lorsque le bord (32) cesse d'appuyer sur le contacteur (25), le contacteur est libéré et déclenche l'alarme. Cette situation se produit lorsque l'on tente d'écarter les deux parties de la coque, notamment en cas de destruction du mécanisme de verrouillage ou en cas de forçage de ce dernier.When both shells are assembled, the switch is activated and. command to stop the alarm. On the other hand, when the edge (32) stops pressing the contactor (25), the contactor is released and triggers the alarm. This situation occurs when one tries to separate the two parts of the hull, especially in case of destruction of the locking mechanism or in case of forcing of the latter.

Il se produit aussi lorsque l'on essaie d'écarter les extrémités opposées des coques (1, 2), en détruisant ou forçant la charnière. Dans ce cas, la contrainte exercée sur les coques produit un basculement par rapport à une ligne de contact entre le bord (31) de la coque (1) portant le dispositif de sécurité, et la paroi du dispositif de sécurité, ce qui produit un bras de levier augmentant la distance entre le contacteur (25) et le bord (30) de la coque opposée. Le contacteur est alors libéré, ce qui déclenche l'alarme.It also occurs when one tries to spread the opposite ends of the hulls (1, 2), destroying or forcing the hinge. In this case, the stress exerted on the shells causes a tilting relative to a line of contact between the edge (31) of the shell (1) carrying the safety device, and the wall of the safety device, which produces a lever arm increasing the distance between the switch (25) and the edge (30) of the opposite shell. The contactor is then released, which triggers the alarm.

Les figures 8 à 11 représentent des vues d'une variante de réalisation d'un dispositif de sécurité selon l'invention.The Figures 8 to 11 represent views of an alternative embodiment of a security device according to the invention.

Les deux tirettes (13, 14) sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre, et sont mobiles parallèlement. Elles présentent chacune une extrémité dépassant de la paroi frontale (12) pour permettre leur déplacement selon une direction longitudinale, par une pression transversale. Le dispositif comprend une ferrite (40) associée à un circuit accordé pour la détection lors du passage dans un portique comportant une boucle d'induction. La figure 9 représente le dispositif dans la situation où les deux tirettes sont repoussées en position d'armement. La gâchette de verrouillage (14) est maintenue en position de verrouillage par une masselotte (17).The two drawbars (13, 14) are independent of one another, and are movable parallel. They each have an end protruding from the front wall (12) to allow their displacement in a longitudinal direction, by a transverse pressure. The device comprises a ferrite (40) associated with a circuit tuned for detection when passing through a gantry having an induction loop. The figure 9 represents the device in the situation where the two drawbars are pushed back to the cocking position. The locking trigger (14) is held in the locking position by a counterweight (17).

Les figures 10 et 11 représentent une autre configuration où seule la tirette (14) de verrouillage est engagée, la tirette (13) commandant l'activation du circuit d'alarme étant désengagée. Le dispositif verrouille alors le boîtier, mais ne déclenche pas d'alarme. Le circuit d'alarme n'est pas alimenté électriquement, et l'autonomie du dispositif est ainsi préservée. Le dispositif peut aussi être utilisé simplement sans alarme lorsque l'on veut éviter le désagrément de sonnerie stridente en cas de manipulation inopinée.The Figures 10 and 11 represent another configuration where only the latch (14) lock is engaged, the pull tab (13) controlling the activation of the alarm circuit being disengaged. The device then locks the housing, but does not trigger an alarm. The alarm circuit is not electrically powered, and the autonomy of the device is thus preserved. The device can also be used simply without alarm when one wants to avoid the annoyance of strident ringing in case of unexpected handling.
