Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'un bagage qui est constitué d'un fond et d'un couvercle assemblés par une charnière, le dispositif étant composé de deux parties, un coffre, contenant un mécanisme de fermeture commandé par un bouton poussoir, ledit coffre comportant une pluralité d'ouvertures situées sur une même face latérale, et une gâche, comportant des moraillons dont les dimensions et la disposition longitudinale correspondent à celles des ouvertures du coffre, le coffre et la gâche, étant fixés face à face, chacun sur le côté du fond ou du couvercle opposé à la charnière.The invention relates to a device for closing a bag which consists of a bottom and a cover assembled by a hinge, the device being composed of two parts, a trunk, containing a closing mechanism controlled by a push button. , said trunk comprising a plurality of openings situated on the same lateral face, and a keeper, comprising hasps whose dimensions and longitudinal arrangement correspond to those of the openings of the trunk, the trunk and the keeper, being fixed face to face, each on the side of the bottom or cover opposite the hinge.

La plupart des bagages connus sont munis soit de fermetures rapides à glissières lorsqu'ils sont souples soit de plusieurs serrures, en général deux, réparties sur le cadre et comportant un verrouillage par clef unique.Most known baggage is fitted with either quick slide fasteners when they are flexible or with several locks, generally two, distributed over the frame and comprising a locking system with a single key.

Sauf sur les bagages d'un prix élevé, les serrures résistent mal à un usage prolongé à cause des efforts, souvent excessifs, auxquels la fermeture d'un côté puis de l'autre les soumet. Une seule serrure centrale est, souvent, associée à deux crochets latéraux rabattables, disposés de part et d'autre de la serrure centrale et à égale distance de celle-ci. Mais ces accessoires ne sont pas verrouillables, et, s'ils sautent parce que la valise est trop remplie ou pour toute autre cause, le cadre du couvercle risque d'être faussé et la valise de bâiller.Except on high priced luggage, locks poor resistance to prolonged use because of the efforts, often excessive, to which the closure on one side then on the other subjects them. A single central lock is often associated with two foldable side hooks, arranged on either side of the central lock and at equal distance therefrom. But these accessories are not lockable, and if they jump out because the case is overfilled or for any other reason, the frame of the cover may be distorted and the case may yawn.

Parmi les dispositifs connus on peut citer ceux qui sont décrits par les trois brevets ci-après résumés.Among the known devices, mention may be made of those described by the three patents summarized below.

Le brevet DE 1.902.360 SCHMALE décrit un dispositif de fermeture comportant un élément de fermeture (38) muni d'ouvertures latérales (37) et une cornière (35) avec des crochets de fermeture (36) possédant un épaulement et une face biseautée mais ce dispositif ne comporte pas de commande unique et centrale d'ouverture et de verrouillage contrôlant l'ensemble des moraillons.Patent DE 1,902,360 SCHMALE describes a closing device comprising a closing element (38) provided with lateral openings (37) and an angle iron (35) with closing hooks (36) having a shoulder and a bevelled face but this device does not have a single central opening and locking control controlling all of the hasps.

Le brevet US 2 455 069 LAUNDER décrit une serrure formée à partir de deux tubes (1,3) coulissant l'un dans l'autre sous l'action d'un ressort (9). Chacun desdits tubes comporte des ouvertures (2,12) destinées à recevoir des crochets de fermeture (8,13). Dans une telle serrure, le risque de grippage de deux tubes concentriques coulissant l'un dans l'autre est assez grand et il est nécessaire de prévoir un ressort assez puissant conduisant à une pression d'ouverture importante.US Patent 2,455,069 LAUNDER describes a lock formed from two tubes (1,3) sliding one inside the other under the action of a spring (9). Each of said tubes has openings (2.12) for receiving closure hooks (8.13). In such a lock, the risk of jamming of two concentric tubes sliding one inside the other is quite great and it is necessary to provide a fairly powerful spring leading to a significant opening pressure.

Le brevet BE 556.115 DRESCHER et KIEFER concerne une serrure pour sac de dame et le doigt (14), muni d'une surface oblique (15), agit exclusivement sur la pièce de blocage, mais son action doit être conjugée avec une traction exercée sur le bord inférieur (6) du cadre (1) de la serrure, d'où la nécessité d'employer ses deux mains pour ouvrir la serrure.Patent BE 556.115 DRESCHER and KIEFER concerns a lock for lady's bag and finger (14), provided with an oblique surface (15), acts exclusively on the blocking piece, but its action must be combined with a traction exerted on the lower edge (6) of the frame ( 1) of the lock, hence the need to use both hands to open the lock.

Le but de l'invention consiste à fournir un dispositif de fermeture facilement adaptable sur la majorité des bagages, et qui renforce la rigidité du couvercle par plusieurs points de verrouillage rendus effectifs par la manoeuvre d'un seul mécanisme.The object of the invention to provide a closing device easily adaptable to most luggage, and which strengthens the rigidity of the cover by several locking points made effective by the operation of a single mechanism.

A cette fin, le dispositif de fermeture selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que le coffre est formé essentiellement de deux plaques planes et parallèles dont l'écartement est maintenu par des pontets, l'une de ces plaques comportant des ouvertures pour les moraillons de la gâche.To this end, the closure device according to the invention is characterized in that the trunk is formed essentially by two flat and parallel plates, the spacing of which is maintained by bridges, one of these plates comprising openings for the wasp hasps.

Le principal avantage d'un tel dispositif réside dans le fait que la répartition des moraillons sur une des coupes formant couvercle contribue à la fois à un bon équilibrage des efforts et à là rigidité de ladite coque.The main advantage of such a device lies in the fact that the distribution of the hasps on one of the cups forming the cover contributes both to a good balancing of the forces and to the rigidity of said shell.

D'autres avantages ressortiront de la description d'une forme de réalisation, préférentielle mais non limitative, et du dessin dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du dispositif ;
  • la figure 2 est un schéma d'une forme d'exécution du mécanisme ;

On se reporte à la figure 1 sur laquelle le dispositif est constitué par un coffre 1 contenant un mécanisme de fermeture dont le bouton de commande 2 est seul visible, des ouvertures 3 réparties également sur une même face latérale du coffre, de part et d'autre du bouton. Il comporte également une gâche 4, munie de moraillons 5 au droit de chaque ouverture 3. Le coffre 1 et la gâche 4 sont respectivement fixés chacun sur une des coques du bagage (non représentées). Ces deux parties constitutives du dispositif sont d'une longueur appropriée à celle du bagage qu'elles équipent et contribuent, par leur rigidité propre, à l'amélioration de la rigidité desdites coques ou du cadre à l'intérieur duquel elles sont fixées par des moyens connus, rivets, vis, soudure etc.Referring to Figure 1 on which the device consists of a trunk 1 containing a closing mechanism of which the control button 2 is only visible, openings 3 distributed equally on the same side face of the trunk, on both sides other of the button. It also includes a keeper 4, provided with hasps 5 at the right of each opening 3. The trunk 1 and the keeper 4 are respectively fixed each on one of the shells of the luggage (not shown). These two constituent parts of the device are of a length appropriate to that of the baggage which they equip and contribute, by their own rigidity, to improving the rigidity of said shells or of the frame inside which they are fixed by known means, rivets, screws, welding etc.

Le coffre 1 comporte un décrochement 6 permettant de placer une poignée rabattable pour porter le bagage, poignée dont les points d'ancrage 7, et de pivotement sont précisément situés sur les pans de ce décrochement. La solidité de ces points 7 tient au fait que le dessus 8 du coffre 1 offre une grande résistance à l'arrachement, le poids du bagage étant réparti sur une surface importante de sa périphérie.The trunk 1 includes a recess 6 making it possible to place a folding handle to carry the luggage, handle whose anchor points 7, and pivot points are precisely located on the sides of this recess. The solidity of these points 7 is due to the fact that the top 8 of the boot 1 offers great resistance to tearing off, the weight of the luggage being distributed over a large area of its periphery.

La gâche 4 porte, également répartis sur sa longueur et implantés de façon à se trouver en face des ouvertures 3 du coffre 1, des moraillons 5, dont l'extrémité 5a est chanfreinée pour faciliter leur introduction dans lesdites ouvertures.The keeper 4 carries, also distributed over its length and located so as to be opposite the openings 3 of the trunk 1, hasps 5, the end 5a of which is chamfered to facilitate their introduction into said openings.

Les moraillons comportent un décrochement 5b nécessaire au maintien de la gâche 4 par le mécanisme contenu dans le coffre 1.The hasps have a recess 5b necessary for maintaining the keeper 4 by the mechanism contained in the trunk 1.

La figure 2 représente le schéma d'une forme de réalisation du mécanisme de fermeture constitué par deux tiges 9, coudées, coulissant sur des paliers 10, qui facilitent leur déplacement linéaire, commandé par le bouton poussoir 2 dûment muni d'un barillet de verrouillage bloqué par une clef.FIG. 2 represents the diagram of an embodiment of the closing mechanism constituted by two rods 9, bent, sliding on bearings 10, which facilitate their linear displacement, controlled by the push button 2 duly provided with a locking barrel blocked by a key.

Le bouton 2 est conique à son extrémité en contact avec les tiges 9, elles-mêmes chanfreinées auxdits points de contact de façon qu'une pression exercée sur le bouton 2 produise un déplacement latéral de chaque tige 9 dans les paliers 10. Des moyens sont prévus pour ramener les tiges 9 à leur position initiale, ici des ressorts 11, accrochés d'un côté sur le coffre 1, de l'autre sur chaque tige 9, de façon que l'effort de traction s'exerce parallèlement à l'axe desdites tiges.The button 2 is conical at its end in contact with the rods 9, themselves chamfered at said contact points so that a pressure exerted on the button 2 produces a lateral displacement of each rod 9 in the bearings 10. Means are provided for bringing the rods 9 back to their initial position, here springs 11, hung on one side on the trunk 1, on the other on each rod 9, so that the tensile force is exerted parallel to the axis of said rods.

Sensiblement en face de chaque ouverture 3 du coffre 1, les tiges 9 présentent des lumières 9b dans lesquelles pénètrent les moraillons 5 de la gâche 4.Significantly opposite each opening 3 of the trunk 1, the rods 9 have slots 9b into which the hasps 5 of the keeper 4 penetrate.

Les figures 3 et 4 représentent une autre forme de réalisation du mécanisme de fermeture situé dans le coffre 1, dans laquelle la tige 9' est d'une seule pièce, percée, en face du bouton 2', d'une ouverture oblongue 9'a.Figures 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the closing mechanism located in the trunk 1, in which the rod 9 'is in one piece, pierced, opposite the button 2', with an oblong opening 9 ' at.

L'extrémité 2'a du bouton 2' forme un triangle rectangle isocèle dont l'hypothénuse frotte contre une paroi de l'ouverture 9'a, de façon que la pression P exercée sur le bouton 2' déplace la tige 9' et avec elle les taquets porteurs des ouvertures 9'b.The end 2'a of the button 2 'forms an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse rubs against a wall of the opening 9'a, so that the pressure P exerted on the button 2' displaces the rod 9 'and with it cleats carrying openings 9'b.

Afin de faciliter l'éjection des moraillons 5' hors des ouvertures 3' une lame ressort 100 (fig.5) est fixée sur la paroi du coffre, au droit de chaque ouverture 3'. Cette lame-ressort 100, comprimée lors de la fermeture de la valise, exerce sa pression sur l'extrémité des moraillons dès que le déplacement de la tige 9' met les ouvertures 9'b de la tige en face des ouvertures 3' du coffre et dégage le décrochement 5'b des moraillons.In order to facilitate the ejection of the hasps 5 'from the openings 3' a leaf spring 100 (fig.5) is fixed to the wall of the trunk, to the right of each opening 3 '. This leaf spring 100, compressed during the closing of the suitcase, exerts its pressure on the end of the hasps as soon as the displacement of the rod 9 'puts the openings 9'b of the rod opposite the openings 3' of the trunk and clears the 5'b offset of the hasps.

Les figures 6 et 7 représentent une autre variante de réalisation du mécanisme situé à l'intérieur du coffre 1.FIGS. 6 and 7 represent another alternative embodiment of the mechanism located inside the trunk 1.

Le coffre 1 est constitué essentiellement par deux plaques planes 12,13 l'une au moins étant munie d'ouvertures dont l'écartement est maintenu par des pontets 14 servant de support à des tringles 15 portant des ouvertures 15a destinées à recevoir chacune un moraillon 5. Une des extrémités 15b de chaque tringle 15 est coudée et rentre dans une plaque 16 portant un orifice 16a de réception correspondant.The trunk 1 essentially consists of two flat plates 12,13 at least one being provided with openings the spacing of which is maintained by bridges 14 serving to support rods 15 carrying openings 15a each intended to receive a hasp 5. One of the ends 15b of each rod 15 is bent and fits into a plate 16 carrying an orifice 16a for corresponding reception.

L'autre extrémité 15c supporte un ressort travaillant en compression, qui repousse l'ensemble du mécanisme après l'introduction des moraillons dans les ouvertures 15a. La plaque 16 est suspendue, en son milieu par une double équerre 17, formant bouton de commande, qui se déplace dans une glissière 19 fixée sur le chant du coffre 1 constituant un élément de la périphérie du bagage (fig.7a et 7b). Un barillet 18 muni d'une serrure de sécurité permet de bloquer les déplacements de la double équerre 17 par insertion d'un piton 20, fixé sur le chant opposé du coffre 1, dans l'extrémité du barillet située à l'intérieur dudit coffre.The other end 15c supports a spring working in compression, which pushes the entire mechanism after the introduction of the hasps into the openings 15a. The plate 16 is suspended, in the middle by a double bracket 17, forming a control button, which moves in a slide 19 fixed on the edge of the trunk 1 constituting an element of the periphery of the luggage (fig.7a and 7b). A barrel 18 provided with a security lock makes it possible to block the movements of the double bracket 17 by insertion of a peg 20, fixed on the opposite edge of the trunk 1, in the end of the barrel located inside said trunk .

Ce type de barillet, couramment employé pour la fermeture des portières d'automobiles par exemple, constitue une serrure de sécurité d'un faible prix de revient, utilisant des clefs à combinaisons multiples. Il est possible également d'utiliser une serrure à chiffres ou à lettres.This type of barrel, commonly used for closing automobile doors, for example, constitutes a low cost security lock, using multiple combination keys. It is also possible to use a number or letter lock.

Dans une autre variante du mécanisme de fermeture, celui-ci est constitué par deux tubes, de préférence carrés ou rectangulaires, coulissant l'un dans l'autre. Une des extrémités du tube extérieur est pourvue d'une butée munie d'un ressort intérieur s'appuyant sur ladite butée et sur l'extrémité correspondante du tube intérieur.In another variant of the closing mechanism, this consists of two tubes, preferably square or rectangular, sliding one inside the other. One end of the outer tube is provided with a stop provided with an inner spring resting on said stop and on the corresponding end of the inner tube.

L'extrémité opposée du tube extérieur est pourvue d'un bouton poussoir appuyant sur le tube intérieur de façon à faire coïncider les ouvertures pour les moraillons que ces deux tubes portent chacun sur des faces parallèles et juxtaposées.The opposite end of the outer tube is provided with a push button pressing on the inner tube so as to make the openings for the hasps coincide that these two tubes each carry on parallel and juxtaposed faces.

Le bouton poussoir est muni d'un dispositif à barillet qui bloque la serrure lorsque le bagage est fermé.The push button is fitted with a barrel device which locks the lock when the luggage is closed.

La poignée de la valise est fixée par deux brides entourant le tube extérieur.The handle of the suitcase is fixed by two flanges surrounding the outer tube.
