Abstract

The key handler has a casing where the keys (6) are placed in individual holders (7) that can identify the key when it is returned. The casing is a box (2) having an aperture (5) which can be obstructed by a cylindrical shutter (1) mounted in the box via a shaft (3). An electromechanical locking system is mounted on the box to block the shutter in any given position. The holders are fixed on a frame mounted in the box. When the user is recognised, the blocking system is deactivated and the shutter is rotated by a motor to allow access to the holders. Each holders is specific to one object and recognises it thanks to identifications carried by the object.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour la distribution sélective et le retour contrôlé d'un objet. The invention relates to a device for the selective distribution and controlled return of an object.

Il existe de nombreuses situations dans lesquelles on souhaite mettre un objet momentanément à la disposition d'un utilisateur habilité et récupérer l'objet de manière contrôlée. Ainsi, l'on peut souhaiter donner accès à des locaux à plusieurs personnes parfaitement identifiées, sans toutefois être obligé de remettre un exemplaire de la clé (ou d'une multiplicité de clés) d'accès à chacune des personnes. There are many situations in which one wishes to make an object temporarily available to an authorized user and recover the object in a controlled manner. Thus, one may wish to give access to premises to several perfectly identified persons, without however being obliged to give a copy of the access key (or of a multiplicity of keys) to each of the persons.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif qui permet de délivrer une clé à un utilisateur habilité et de récupérer la clé, la clé rendue étant identifiée. The object of the present invention is to provide a device which makes it possible to deliver a key to an authorized user and to recover the key, the returned key being identified.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif qui permet la délivrance sélective et la récupération contrôlée d'un ou plusieurs objets, chaque objet étant placé sur un support qui lui est propre, ledit dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que chaque objet est muni de moyens d'identification, chaque support comprend des moyens de reconnaissance d'un objet, et les supports sont placés dans une enceinte de protection. To this end, the subject of the present invention is a device which allows the selective delivery and the controlled recovery of one or more objects, each object being placed on a support which is specific to it, said device being characterized in that each object is provided with identification means, each support comprises means for recognizing an object, and the supports are placed in a protective enclosure.

L'enceinte de protection peut être constituée par un boîtier comportant une fenêtre sur sa façade, un obturateur escamotable permettant de fermer le dispositif. L'obturateur est muni d'un dispositif de blocage pour empêcher son ouverture par une personne non habilitée. Les supports des objets sont fixés sur un bâti solidaire du boîtier. The protective enclosure can be constituted by a box comprising a window on its front, a retractable shutter making it possible to close the device. The shutter is fitted with a blocking device to prevent it from being opened by an unauthorized person. The supports of the objects are fixed on a frame integral with the housing.

L'obturateur peut être un volet cylindrique constitué par une portion longitudinale d'un cylindre creux fermé au moins partiellement à ses extrémités et monté sur le boîtier par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre dont l'axe est horizontal et parallèle à la façade du boîtier, le cylindre creux comprenant une découpe le long d'une génératrice. Suivant la position axiale de cet obturateur cylindrique, le dispositif est ouvert ou fermé. The shutter may be a cylindrical flap constituted by a longitudinal portion of a hollow cylinder closed at least partially at its ends and mounted on the housing by means of a shaft whose axis is horizontal and parallel to the front of the housing, the hollow cylinder comprising a cut along a generator. Depending on the axial position of this cylindrical shutter, the device is open or closed.

L'obturateur peut également être un panneau coulissant placé entre les supports des objets et la fenêtre de la façade du boîtier.  The shutter can also be a sliding panel placed between the supports of the objects and the window of the front of the case.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la fenêtre de la façade du boîtier est muni d'une porte. In a preferred embodiment, the window of the front of the housing is provided with a door.

L'invention sera expliquée plus en détail par un mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, qui a pour but d'illustrer l'invention, l'invention n'étant cependant pas limitée à ce mode de réalisation particulier. The invention will be explained in more detail by an embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, which aims to illustrate the invention, the invention is however not limited to this particular embodiment.

La figure 1 est une vue de face d'un dispositif selon l'invention, à l'état ouvert. Figure 1 is a front view of a device according to the invention, in the open state.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant l'axe I-I' de la figure 1. Figure 2 is a sectional view along the axis I-I 'of Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une autre vue en coupe suivant l'axe I-I' de la figure 1, à l'état fermé. Figure 3 is another sectional view along the axis I-I 'of Figure 1, in the closed state.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe suivant l'axe II-II' de la figure 2. FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the axis II-II 'of FIG. 2.

Tel que représenté sur les figures, le dispositif de l'invention comprend un volet cylindrique 1 monté dans un boîtier 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre 3 dont l'axe est confondu avec celui du volet cylindrique. La façade 4 du boîtier 2 comprend une fenêtre 5 de laquelle émerge le volet cylindrique 1. (fig. 3). Les objets 6, 6', 6", ..., par exemple des clés, sont installés sur les supports 7, 7', 7", ..., les supports étant montés sur un châssis 8 solidaire du boîtier 2. Un dispositif 9 solidaire d'une paroi du boîtier 2, permet de bloquer le volet cylindrique dans une position donnée. Le dispositif de blocage 9 peut être un dispositif électromécanique. Le volet cylindrique 1 est muni d'une poignée 10 située à proximité de l'un de ses bords. As shown in the figures, the device of the invention comprises a cylindrical flap 1 mounted in a housing 2 by means of a shaft 3 whose axis is coincident with that of the cylindrical flap. The front 4 of the housing 2 includes a window 5 from which the cylindrical flap 1. emerges (fig. 3). Objects 6, 6 ', 6 ", ..., for example keys, are installed on the supports 7, 7', 7", ..., the supports being mounted on a frame 8 secured to the housing 2. A device 9 secured to a wall of the housing 2, makes it possible to block the cylindrical shutter in a given position. The locking device 9 can be an electromechanical device. The cylindrical flap 1 is provided with a handle 10 located near one of its edges.

Lorsque le dispositif est en position d'attente, le boîtier 2 est fermé par le volet cylindrique 1 qui est dans la position représentée sur la fig. 3. Le dispositif de blocage 9 maintient le cylindre dans cette position. Lorsqu'un utilisateur veut obtenir l'un des objets 6, il se fait reconnaître. Le dispositif de blocage 9 est alors désactivé de sorte qu'une action sur la poignée 10 permet de faire tourner le volet cylindrique autour de son axe pour rendre apparents les supports 7 et les objets 6. L'utilisateur peut se faire reconnaître par tout moyen conventionnel, par exemple par une clef auxiliaire qui agit sur le système de blocage 9 par une liaison mécanique, ou par des moyens électroniques ou téléphoniques qui le mettent en relation avec un centre de commande qui agit sur le dispositif de blocage 9. Après une seconde étape d'identification, l'objet 6 demandé est déverrouillé de son support et mis à la disposition de l'utilisateur. Ensuite le volet cylindrique est remis dans sa position initiale, soit manuellement par l'utilisateur, soit automatiquement sous l'effet d'un ressort de rappel non représenté, qui le fait tourner autour de son axe dès que l'utilisateur lâche la poignée 10. Le dispositif de verrouillage est alors réactivé. When the device is in the standby position, the housing 2 is closed by the cylindrical flap 1 which is in the position shown in FIG. 3. The locking device 9 maintains the cylinder in this position. When a user wants to obtain one of the objects 6, he is recognized. The locking device 9 is then deactivated so that an action on the handle 10 makes it possible to rotate the cylindrical flap around its axis to make the supports 7 and the objects 6 visible. The user can be recognized by any means conventional, for example by an auxiliary key which acts on the blocking system 9 by a mechanical link, or by electronic or telephone means which put it in contact with a command center which acts on the blocking device 9. After a second identification step, the requested object 6 is unlocked from its support and made available to the user. Then the cylindrical flap is returned to its initial position, either manually by the user, or automatically under the effect of a not shown return spring, which rotates it around its axis as soon as the user releases the handle 10 The locking device is then reactivated.

Lorsque l'utilisateur veut restituer l'objet 6, il se fait reconnaître comme précédemment pour obtenir la désactivation du dispositif de verrouillage 9 et la rotation du volet cylindrique 1 jusqu'à la position d'ouverture. When the user wants to restore the object 6, he is recognized as above to obtain the deactivation of the locking device 9 and the rotation of the cylindrical flap 1 to the open position.

Ensuite il introduit l'objet 6 à restituer dans le support 7 correspondant, sachant que l'introduction n'est possible que si les moyens de détection du support 7 reconnaissent les moyens d'identification portés par l'objet 6. Le dispositif de l'invention permet donc de mettre un objet à la disposition d'un utilisateur seulement si celui-ci est habilité à le recevoir, et de récupérer l'objet directement sur son support afin qu'il soit immédiatement disponible pour une utilisation ultérieure.Then he introduces the object 6 to be returned into the corresponding support 7, knowing that the introduction is only possible if the detection means of the support 7 recognize the identification means carried by the object 6. The device of the The invention therefore makes it possible to make an object available to a user only if the latter is authorized to receive it, and to recover the object directly on its support so that it is immediately available for later use.

Dans une variante, l'ensemble du dispositif de l'invention peut être situé dans un espace fermé par une porte de protection. L'utilisateur doit alors se faire reconnaître pour obtenir l'ouverture de la porte de protection 11, cette opération pouvant provoquer simultanément la désactivation du dispositif de blocage 9. Alternatively, the entire device of the invention may be located in a space closed by a protective door. The user must then be recognized in order to obtain the opening of the protective door 11, this operation being able simultaneously to deactivate the blocking device 9.

Dans un dispositif de l'invention, seuls les organes qui sont nécessaires pour que l'utilisateur puisse prendre ou rendre un objet sont visibles et accessibles sur la façade du boîtier 2. Les autres parties du dispositif, telles que des pièces mécaniques, des pièces électriques, des câblages, des éléments électroniques, et autres (non représentés) sont accessibles, notamment pour la maintenance, uniquement soit par la paroi arrière du boîtier, soit par les parois latérales, qui comportent les moyens d'accès appropriés (non représentés). In a device of the invention, only the organs which are necessary for the user to be able to pick up or return an object are visible and accessible on the front of the housing 2. The other parts of the device, such as mechanical parts, parts electrical, wiring, electronic elements, and others (not shown) are accessible, in particular for maintenance, only either by the rear wall of the housing, or by the side walls, which include the appropriate access means (not shown) .

Le dispositif de la présente invention peut être utilisé pour la mise à disposition sélective et la récupération contrôlée de tout objet portant des moyens d'identification. A titre d'exemple, on peut citer les clés traditionnelles et les cartes magnétiques dont l'un des usages peut être le déblocage d'une porte.  The device of the present invention can be used for the selective provision and the controlled recovery of any object carrying means of identification. As an example, we can cite traditional keys and magnetic cards, one of the uses of which can be unlocking a door.
