Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cremone bolt, in particular a cremone bolt for a door, French window or the like comprising at least one operating rod provided with at least one locking element penetrating into a keeper fixed to the frame; a locking element of the operating rod in the unlocked position, said locking element being resiliently returned to the unlocked holding position of the operating rod and cooperating with unlocking means integral with the frame; elastic return means making it possible to move the operating rod from the unlocked position to the locked position: and a control mechanism comprising, on the one hand, a follower allowing the rod to operate and, on the other hand, a horizontal bolt movable by means of a barrel.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, solves these problems by creating a locking lever having a handle automatically returned to the rest position without action on the operating rod and, on the other hand, total security of '' an automatic locking when the door is closed and / or locked.
  • the advantages obtained by virtue of the invention essentially consist in that, despite possible fatigue of the return means of the operating rod in the locked position, the locking lever is brought into the locked position when the door is locked, French window or the like.
  • the invention allows standardization of door fittings. Since the handle, once lowered, automatically returns to its rest position, standard door fittings can be used.
  • the lock-bolt 1 comprises a box 2 consisting of two parallel plates 3, 4 (see FIG. 4) containing the various parts constituting the mechanism 5 and causing the displacement of at least one operating rod 6.
  • the mechanism 5 comprises a follower 7 having an operating square 8 in which is engaged the axis of an operating handle (not shown).
  • the follower 7 is provided with a finger 9 provided with a stud 10 on which the end 11 bears on an elastic element 12 such as a leaf spring whose other end 13 is wound in the form of a spiral around an axis 14.
  • an elastic element 12 such as a leaf spring whose other end 13 is wound in the form of a spiral around an axis 14.
  • the follower 7 also includes a second control finger 15. This acts, in the unlocking phase, on an axis 16 secured to a heel 17 of the operating rod 6.
  • the heel 17 has at its upper 21 and lower 22 ends a stud 23, 24 engaging in holes 25 , 26 made in the operating rod 6, which ensures the connection between the operating rod 6 and the heel 17.
  • the latter has a toothing 27 cooperating with a device 28 for automatic return to the locking position of the rod 6.
  • This device 28 comprises a flange 29 whose edge 30 is provided with a toothing 31 cooperating with the toothing 27 of the heel 17.
  • This flange 29 pivots about a fixed axis 32 traversed transversely by one of the ends 33 of a spiral spring 34, the other end 35 of which hangs on a bu tee 36 integral with the flange 29.
  • the operating rod 6 sliding behind a cover and guide faceplate 37, causes, by the cooperation of the teeth 27 and 31, the rotation of the flange 29 and, therefore, the compression of the spiral spring 34.
  • the operating rod 6 During the opening of the opening, the operating rod 6 must be kept in the unlocked position.
  • a device for holding in the unlocked position is the subject of European divisional application 82 108 310.2 filed on September 9, 1982. It has been designated by 38 as a whole. It has two perpendicular branches 40, 41 having a cross section. One of the arms 40 is parallel to the front face 42 of the headrest 37. The rear end 43 of the other arm 41 is housed in a hole 44 made in the heel 17 and it is held in this hole 44 by the end 45, 46 of two elastic elements 47, 48, the other end 49, 50 of which is fixed by fastening elements 51, 52 on the internal faces 53, 54 of the parallel plates 3 and 4 (see FIG. 4).
  • the branch 40 moves transversely relative to the front face 42 of the headrest 37 in a slide 55 and it is held by two claws 56, 57 covering the upper 58 and lower 59 ends of the branch 40.
  • the front end 60 of the branch 41 projecting with respect to the front face 42 of the headrest 37, moves laterally between the lower edge 61 of the upper claw 56 and the upper edge 62 of the lower claw 57 (see FIG. 3).
  • release means 65 are provided which are integral with the edge of the frame. These unlocking means 65 comprise a stop 66 whose face 67 cooperates with the lateral face 68 of the front end 60 of the branch 41 of the locking element 39. This stop 66 is disposed between two recesses 69, 70 in which comes to house the claws 56, 57. The penetration of these claws 56, 57 is limited by the bottoms 71, 72 of these recesses 69, 70.
  • the face 67 of the stop 66 of the release means 65 laterally pushes the front end 60 of the branch 41 and, consequently, the locking element 39 slides in the slide 55 biasing the spring 48.
  • the spiral spring 34 relaxes, and causes the flange 29 to pivot.
  • the toothing 31 of the flange 29 drives the toothing 27 of the heel 17 and there is automatic displacement of the rod 6 from its unlocking position to its locking position (see FIGS. 5 to 7).
  • a second assembly is provided bringing and now in the locking position the operating rod 6 and ensuring, consequently, the locking of the bolt-lock 1.
  • This second assembly essentially consists of a horizontal bolt 73 guided horizontally by two axes 74, 75 sliding in horizontal slots 76, 77 formed in the parallel plates 3, 4 of the housing 2.
  • This transverse bolt 73 has an inclined plane 78 cooperating with an axis 79 integral with the heel 17 of the operating rod 6.
  • the inclined plane 78 extends from the upper end 80 of a finger 81 to the upper edge 82 of the body 83 of said horizontal bolt 73.
  • This upper edge 82 includes recesses 84, 85, 86 in which is housed a stud 87 secured to a vertical bolt 88.
  • This vertical bolt 88 is held in place by an elastic element 89 partially wound around an axis 90.
  • One of the branches 91 of this elastic element 89 bears against the upper edge 92 of the vertical bolt 88 and the other branch 93 bears against the periphery 94 of the follower 7.
  • the vertical bolt 88 is guided, on the one hand, by the stud 87 and, d on the other hand, by a stud 95 sliding in vertical slots 96, 97 produced in the parallel plates 3, 4 of the housing 2.
  • the lower edge 98 of the vertical bolt 88 and the lower edge 99 of the horizontal bolt 73 provided with 'A toothing 100 cooperates with a bit or a control finger 101 of a key or a barrel 102.
  • the bolt lock 1 is in the unlocked position as shown in Figure 1 and that it must be locked in the locked position as shown in Figure 5. It is also considered that the spiral spring 34 has not could correctly perform the automatic return of the operating rod 6 despite the unlocking of the assembly 38 for holding in the unlocked position. Therefore, the operating rod 6 and, consequently, the lock-bolt 1 no longer being in the unlocked position and not yet in the locked position, are in an intermediate position.
  • the finger 101 pushes up the vertical bolt 88, which makes it possible to disengage the stud 87 from the recess 84 of the horizontal bolt 73. Then, the finger 101 cooperates with the teeth 100 of the horizontal bolt 73 by involving an advance directed towards the headrest 37.
  • the upper end 80 of the finger 81 makes contact with the axis 79 of the heel 17 of the operating rod 6.
  • this finger 81 forces the axis 79 to slide along the inclined plane 78 of this finger 81 and the axis 79 descends as the horizontal bolt 73 advances by exerting traction on the operating rod 6
  • the axis 79 and the operating rod 6 occupy the locking position.
