Description

L'invention concerne une ferrure de verrouillage pour fenêtre, porte ou analogue pourvue d'au moins un panneton à saillie réglable solidaire d'une tringle de manoeuvre par l'intermédiaire d'un élément fileté et traversant une lumière de guidage pratiquée dans une têtière solidaire de l'ouvrant ou du dormant pour s'engager dans une gâche solidaire du dormant ou de l'ouvrant de la fenêtre, porte ou analogue.The invention relates to a locking fitting for a window, door or the like, provided with at least one bit with an adjustable projection secured to an operating rod by means of a threaded element and passing through a guide light provided in a headrest. secured to the sash or the frame to engage in a keeper secured to the frame or the sash of the window, door or the like.

On connaît déjà, par le document DE-A N° 2553645, des ferrures pour le verrouillage d'une fenêtre, porte ou analogue comportant un dispositif de réglage de la saillie du panneton s'engageant dans une gâche disposée sur le dormant pour le verrouillage de l'ouvrant. Ce dispositif de réglage est constitué d'un filetage de la queue du panneton et d'un trou taraudé réalisé dans la tringle de manœuvre recevant le panneton. Pour éviter un déréglage inopiné du panneton, il est prévu que la queue filetée du panneton se visse avec force dans le trou taraudé de la tringle de manoeuvre. Toutefois, en raison des tolérances de fabrication, il est très difficile d'obtenir un vissage à force qui soit, à la fois, suffisamment serré pour résister aux frottements tangentiels de la gâche sur la surface périphérique du panneton obligatoirement rond et suffisamment souple pour permettre le réglage de la saillie du panneton.Already known, from document DE-A No. 2553645, fittings for locking a window, door or the like comprising a device for adjusting the projection of the bit engaging in a keeper disposed on the frame for locking of the opening. This adjustment device consists of a thread of the tail of the bit and a tapped hole made in the operating rod receiving the bit. To avoid an unexpected adjustment of the bit, it is provided that the threaded tail of the bit is screwed forcefully into the threaded hole of the operating rod. However, because of the manufacturing tolerances, it is very difficult to obtain a force screwing which is, at the same time, sufficiently tight to resist the tangential friction of the strike on the peripheral surface of the bit necessarily round and flexible enough to allow adjustment of the bit protrusion.

De plus, le vissage à force risque de relâcher après pfusieurs opérations de réglage.In addition, tightening by force may loosen after several adjustment operations.

Par ailleurs, du fait que le panneton est obligatoirement rond, la résistance du panneton au cisaillement engendré par l'application de l'ouvrant contre le dormant est limitée, car le diamètre de la queue filetée est tributaire de la largeur de la têtière donc de l'épaisseur de la fenêtre, porte ou analogue.Furthermore, the fact that the bit is necessarily round, the resistance of the bit to shear generated by the application of the leaf against the frame is limited, because the diameter of the threaded tail is dependent on the width of the headrest therefore the thickness of the window, door or the like.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. L'invention, telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications, résout le problème consistant à créer une ferrure de verrouillage présentant des moyens de réglage de la saillie. du panneton insensibles aux tolérances de fabrication et peu sujets à l'usure. Par ailleurs, l'invention cherche également à augmenter la résistance du panneton au cisaillement. Selon l'invention, ce panneton comporte des moyens de blocage en rotation coopérant avec la lumière de guidage de la têtière et la tringle de manoeuvre est écartée d'une distance déterminée de la face interne de la têtière.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a locking fitting having means for adjusting the projection. bit insensitive to manufacturing tolerances and little subject to wear. Furthermore, the invention also seeks to increase the resistance of the bit to shear. According to the invention, this bit comprises rotation blocking means cooperating with the guide light of the headrest and the operating rod is spaced by a determined distance from the internal face of the headrest.

Selon une conception préférentielle de l'invention, les moyens de blocage en rotation que comporte le panneton sont une embase parallélépipédique guidée dans la lumière de guidage pratiquée dans la têtière.According to a preferred design of the invention, the means for locking in rotation that the bit comprises are a parallelepiped base guided in the guide lumen made in the headrest.

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention prévoit que l'élément fileté est fixé sur l'embase parallélépipédique et vissé dans un trou taraudé de la tringle de manœuvre, tandis qu'un autre mode de réalisation conçoit que l'élément fileté est fixé sur la tringle de manoeuvre et que le panneton est vissé sur l'élément fileté.One embodiment of the invention provides that the threaded element is fixed to the parallelepiped base and screwed into a threaded hole in the operating rod, while another embodiment conceives that the threaded element is fixed to the operating rod and that the bit is screwed onto the threaded element.

Selon une variante de la présente invention, le panneton, présentant une embase oblongue, comporte des moyens de déplacement selon un trajet rectiligne perpendiculaire à la face externe de la têtière.According to a variant of the present invention, the bit, having an oblong base, comprises displacement means according to a rectilinear path perpendicular to the external face of the headrest.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, l'élément fileté est un axe solidaire axialement mais libre en rotation du panneton, cet axe présentant, à l'extrémité vissée dans la tringle de manoeuvre, un épaulement fileté et, à l'autre extrémité apparente, un élément de retenue du panneton. L'extrémité apparente de cet axe comporte un moyen de prise pour un outil permettant la rotation dudit axe.According to a first embodiment, the threaded element is an axis integral axially but free in rotation of the bit, this axis having, at the end screwed into the operating rod, a threaded shoulder and, at the other apparent end, a bit retaining element. The visible end of this axis comprises a gripping means for a tool allowing the rotation of said axis.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'élément fileté est solidaire axialement mais libre en rotation de la tringle de manoeuvre et vissé dans le panneton. L'extrémité apparente de cet axe fileté comporte également un moyen de prise pour un outil.According to another embodiment, the threaded element is axially integral but free in rotation of the operating rod and screwed into the bit. The visible end of this threaded axis also includes a gripping means for a tool.

Une variante de ces deux modes de réalisation rendant la tenue du panneton plus solide s'obtient dès lors qu'au moins un axe de guidage solidaire de la tringle de manceuvre est disposé en parallèle à l'axe fileté.A variant of these two embodiments making the holding of the bit more solid is obtained as soon as at least one guide axis integral with the maneuvering rod is arranged in parallel with the threaded axis.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent essentiellement en ce que, pour procéder au réglage du panneton, il suffit d'exercer une traction sur ce dernier pour rapprocher la tringle de manoeuvre de la têtière et de dissoudre ainsi la coopération entre les moyens de blocage en rotation du panneton et la lumière de guidage réalisée dans la têtière. De ce fait, il est possible de tourner le panneton et de modifier la saillie du panneton par rotation de ce dernier.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in that, in order to adjust the bit, it suffices to exert traction on the latter to bring the operating rod closer to the headrest and thus to dissolve the cooperation between the locking means in rotation of the bit and the guide light produced in the headrest. Therefore, it is possible to turn the bit and modify the projection of the bit by rotation of the latter.

U n autre avantage consiste en ce que l'invention augmente la résistance du panneton au cisaillement en prévoyant que l'embase parallélépipédique guidée dans la lumière de guidage de la têtière est oblongue.Another advantage is that the invention increases the resistance of the bit to shearing by providing that the parallelepiped base guided in the guide light of the headrest is oblong.

On se réfère aux fig. 1 et 2.We refer to fig. 1 and 2.

La ferrure de verrouillage 1 comporte une tringle de manoeuvre 2 coulissant dans une rainure 3 pratiquée dans le chant 4 de l'ouvrant ou du dormant 5 de la fenêtre, porte ou analogue. La rainure 3 est recouverte d'une têtière 6 encastrée dans une seconde rainure 7 de largeur supérieure à la rainure 3. Cette têtière 6 est fixée sur le chant 4 de l'ouvrant ou du dormant 5. On pratique dans cette têtière 6 au moins une lumière de guidage 8 traversée par un panneton 9. Celui-ci présente un élément fileté sous la forme d'une queue filetée 10 engagée dans un trou taraudé 11 réalisé dans la tringle de manoeuvre 2 présentant à l'emplacement du panneton 9 une partie élastique. Le panneton 9 fait saillie par rapport à la face externe 12 de la têtière 6. Cette saillie 13 coopère avec une gâche solidaire du dormant ou de l'ouvrant (la gâche sur le dormant ou l'ouvrant n'est pas représentée dans les figures). Entre cette saillie 13 et la queue filetée 10, le panneton 9 présente une embase parallélépipédique 14.The locking fitting 1 comprises an operating rod 2 sliding in a groove 3 formed in the edge 4 of the opening or of the window frame 5 of the window, door or the like. The groove 3 is covered with a headrest 6 embedded in a second groove 7 of width greater than the groove 3. This headrest 6 is fixed to the edge 4 of the opening or of the frame 5. We practice in this headrest 6 at least a guide light 8 traversed by a bit 9. This has a threaded element in the form of a threaded tail 10 engaged in a threaded hole 11 made in the operating rod 2 having at the location of the bit 9 a part elastic. The bit 9 protrudes relative to the external face 12 of the headrest 6. This projection 13 cooperates with a keeper secured to the frame or the opening (the keeper on the frame or the opening is not shown in the figures ). Between this projection 13 and the threaded tail 10, the bit 9 has a parallelepiped base 14.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté dans ces figures, la saillie 13 a une section circulaire et l'embase parallélépipédique 14 a une section carrée. Pour obtenir une bonne résistance du panneton 9 au cisaillement, l'embase 14 prend une forme oblongue comme indiqué en pointillé. Cette embase parallélépipédique 14 est engagée dans la lumière de guidage 8 de la têtière 6 de sorte que les deux côtés parallèles 15,16 de l'embase 14 coopèrent avec les deux parois parallèles 17, 18 de la lumière de guidage 8. Ainsi, on obtient des moyens de blocage annihilant toute rotation inopinée du panneton 9.According to the embodiment shown in these figures, the projection 13 has a circular section and the parallelepiped base 14 has a square section. To obtain a good resistance of the bit 9 to shearing, the base 14 takes an oblong shape as indicated in dotted lines. This parallelepiped base 14 is engaged in the guide light 8 of the headrest 6 so that the two parallel sides 15, 16 of the base 14 cooperate with the two parallel walls 17, 18 of the guide light 8. Thus, obtains blocking means annihilating any unexpected rotation of the bit 9.

Conformément à l'invention, la tringle de manoeuvre 2 est écartée d'une certaine distance de la face interne 19 de la têtière 6. L'écartement 20 entre la tringle de manoeuvre 2 et la face interne 19 de la têtière 6 a une valeur égale à la hauteur 21 de l'embase 14.According to the invention, the operating rod 2 is spaced a certain distance from the internal face 19 of the headrest 6. The distance 20 between the operating rod 2 and the internal face 19 of the headrest 6 has a value equal to the height 21 of the base 14.

Pour procéder au réglage du panneton 9, on exerce une traction sur ce dernier, cette traction faisant rapprocher la tringle de manoeuvre 2 de la face interne 19 de la têtière 6. De ce fait, on dégage entièrement l'embase parallélépipédique 14 de la lumière de guidage 8 et on peut impliquer une rotation au panneton 9 en vissant ou en dévissant plus ou moins la queue filetée 10 dans le trou taraudé 11 de la tringle de manoeuvre 2. En relâchant le panneton 9, en raison de l'élasticité de la tringle de manoeuvre 2, cette dernière occupe à nouveau sa position initale et l'embase parallélépipédique 14 s'engage dans la lumière de guidage 8, étant entendu que les côtés 15, 16 de cette embase 14 doivent être parallèles aux parois 17,18 de la lumière de guidage 8.To adjust the bit 9, a pull is exerted on the latter, this pull bringing the operating rod 2 closer to the internal face 19 of the face plate 6. As a result, the rectangular base 14 is entirely released from the light guide 8 and one can imply a rotation with the bit 9 by screwing or unscrewing more or less the threaded shank 10 in the threaded hole 11 of the operating rod 2. By releasing the bit 9, due to the elasticity of the operating rod 2, the latter again occupies its initial position and the parallelepiped base 14 engages in the guide lumen 8, it being understood that the sides 15, 16 of this base 14 must be parallel to the walls 17, 18 of the guide light 8.

On se réfère aux fig. 3 et 4.We refer to fig. 3 and 4.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation représenté dans ces figures, le panneton 109 a une section oblongue. L'embase 114 située entre l'élément fileté et la saillie 113 est également oblongue. On réalise dans ce panneton 109 un trou taraudé 122 dans lequel est vissé un axe fileté 123 faisant office d'élément fileté et dont l'extrémité 124 est solidaire de la tringle de manoeuvre 102. L'embase 114 est engagée dans la lumière 108 de la têtière 106. L'écartement 120 correspond à la hauteur 121 de l'embase 114. L'avantage de conférer au panneton 109 ou toutau moins à l'embase 14ou 114 une section oblongue consiste en ce que l'on augmente la résistance au cisaillement du panneton 9 ou 109. Le réglage de ce dernier se fait comme décrit ci-dessus.According to another embodiment shown in these figures, the bit 109 has an oblong section. The base 114 located between the threaded element and the projection 113 is also oblong. There is provided in this bit 109 a tapped hole 122 into which is screwed a threaded pin 123 acting as a threaded element and the end 124 of which is integral with the operating rod 102. The base 114 is engaged in the light 108 of the headrest 106. The spacing 120 corresponds to the height 121 of the base 114. The advantage of giving the bit 109 or at least the base 14 or 114 an oblong section consists in increasing the resistance to shearing of the bit 9 or 109. The adjustment of the latter is done as described above.

Toutefois, il se révèle parfois nécessaire d'avoir un réglage plus précis du panneton que ceux des pannetons 9 et 109 ci-dessus. En effet, le réglage du panneton est saccadé et correspond à un quart de tour de rotation lorsque son embase a une section carrée, et à un demi-tour de rotation lorsque son embase a une section oblongue. Par ailleurs, il se peut que la tringle de manoeuvre ne comporte pas une élasticité suffisante pour son rapprochement de la têtière en vue du dégagement total de l'embase parallélépipédique hors de la lumière de guidage. Il est donc souhaitable que le réglage soit progressif et que le déplacement du panneton se fasse selon un trajet rectiligne perpendiculaire à la face avant de la têtière.However, it sometimes proves necessary to have a more precise adjustment of the bit than those of the bits 9 and 109 above. Indeed, the adjustment of the bit is jerky and corresponds to a quarter-turn of rotation when its base has a square section, and to a half-turn of rotation when its base has an oblong section. Furthermore, it is possible that the operating rod does not have sufficient elasticity for it to come closer to the headrest in order to completely disengage the parallelepiped base from the guide lumen. It is therefore desirable that the adjustment is progressive and that the movement of the bit takes place along a rectilinear path perpendicular to the front face of the headrest.

On se réfère aux fig. 5 et 6.We refer to fig. 5 and 6.

Le panneton 209 comporte un alésage 225 dont l'extrémité 226 dirigée vers la gâche est pourvue d'un évidement cylindrique ou d'un fraisage tronconique 227. Dans cet alésage 225 est. enfilé un axe 228 dont l'extrémité 229 située du côté de la tringle de manoeuvre 202 présente un épaulement 230. Le diamètre de l'alésage 225 est légèrement supérieur au diamètre de l'axe 228 et ce dernier peut tourner librement sans entraîner en rotation le panneton 209. L'épaulement 230 comporte un filetage et constitue une queue filetée 210 vissée dans le trou taraudé 211 pratiqué dans la tringle de manoeuvre 202. La tenue en place du panneton 209 sur l'axe 228 se fait à i'aide d'un élément de retenue 231 qui peut être une rondelle ou une tête rivetée sur l'extrémité apparente 242 de l'axe 228. De ce fait, le panneton 209 est emprisonné entre, d'une part, l'élément de retenue 231 et, d'autre part, l'épaulement 230 de l'axe 228. Ainsi, ce dernier est solidaire axialement mais libre en rotation du panneton 209. Pour actionner cet axe 228, l'extrémité apparente comporte un moyen de prise 232 pour un outil tel qu'une clé ou un tournevis. Ainsi, il est possible de procéder depuis l'extérieur au réglage du panneton 209. Il est nécessaire que la tringle de manoeuvre 202 soit également écartée d'une distance déterminée de la face interne 219 de la têtière 206. Cet écartement 220 doit être de préférence identique à l'écartement 237 entre le fond 236 de la rainure 203 et la face arrière de la tringle de manoeuvre 202. On obtient ainsi la course de réglage 233 maximale possible sans que, lorsque la saillie 213 est en position minimale, le chant arrière 234 du panneton 209 frotte sur la face externe 212 de la têtière 206 et le sommet 235 de l'épaulement 230 frotte sur le fond 236 de la rainure 203.The bit 209 has a bore 225 whose end 226 directed towards the keeper is provided with a cylindrical recess or a frustoconical milling 227. In this bore 225 is. threaded an axis 228 whose end 229 located on the side of the operating rod 202 has a shoulder 230. The diameter of the bore 225 is slightly greater than the diameter of the axis 228 and the latter can rotate freely without driving in rotation the bit 209. The shoulder 230 has a thread and constitutes a threaded tail 210 screwed into the tapped hole 211 made in the operating rod 202. The holding of the bit 209 on the axis 228 is done using a retaining element 231 which can be a washer or a head riveted on the visible end 242 of the axis 228. Therefore, the bit 209 is trapped between, on the one hand, the retaining element 231 and , on the other hand, the shoulder 230 of the axis 228. Thus, the latter is integral axially but free in rotation of the bit 209. To actuate this axis 228, the visible end comprises a gripping means 232 for a tool such as a wrench or screwdriver. Thus, it is possible to proceed from the outside to adjust the bit 209. It is necessary that the operating rod 202 is also spaced by a determined distance from the internal face 219 of the headrest 206. This spacing 220 must be preferably identical to the spacing 237 between the bottom 236 of the groove 203 and the rear face of the operating rod 202. This gives the maximum adjustment stroke 233 possible without, when the projection 213 is in the minimum position, the rear edge 234 of the bit 209 rubs on the external face 212 of the headrest 206 and the top 235 of the shoulder 230 rubs on the bottom 236 of the groove 203.

On se réfère aux fig. 7 et 8 représentant un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention. Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'axe fileté 323 est solidaire en déplacement de la tringle de manoeuvre 302 mais libre en rotation dans le trou lisse 339 pratiqué dans ladite tringle de manoeuvre 302. Ce trou lisse 339 comporte un fraisage tronconique 340 s'évasant vers le fond 336 de la rainure 303 dans lequel vient se loger la tête évasée 341 de l'axe fileté 323. L'extrémité apparente 342 de l'axe fileté 323 comporte également un moyen de prise 343 pour un outil tel qu'une clé à six pans permettant le réglage depuis l'extérieur du panneton 309. Il est nécessaire que la hauteur 321 de l'embase parallélépipédique 314 soit supérieure à l'écartement 320 pour que, lorsque la saillie 313 est en position minimale, le chant 344 de cette embase parallélépipédique 314 prenne appui contre la face avant 345 de la tringle de manœuvre 302 alors qu'il reste un jeu entre le chant arrière 334 du panneton 309 et la face externe 312 de la têtière 306. Pour le réglage du panneton 309, il suffit d'impliquer une rotation à l'axe fileté 323.We refer to fig. 7 and 8 showing another embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment, the threaded axis 323 is integral in displacement with the operating rod 302 but free to rotate in the smooth hole 339 made in said operating rod 302. This smooth hole 339 has a frustoconical milling 340 flaring out towards the bottom 336 of the groove 303 in which the flared head 341 of the threaded axis 323 is housed. The visible end 342 of the threaded axis 323 also comprises a gripping means 343 for a tool such as a wrench with hexagon allowing adjustment from the outside of the bit 309. It is necessary that the height 321 of the parallelepiped base 314 is greater than the distance 320 so that, when the projection 313 is in minimum position, the edge 344 of this parallelepiped base 314 bears against the front face 345 of the operating rod 302 while there is a clearance between the rear edge 334 of the bit 309 and the external face 312 of the headrest 306. For the adjustment of the bit 309, just imply er a rotation to the threaded axis 323.

On se réfère aux fig. 9 et 10 représentant une autre variante de la ferrure conforme à l'invention. Pour consolider la tenue du panneton 409, on prévoit au moins un axe de guidage 446,447 solidaire de la tringle de manoeuvre 402. Cet axe de guidage 446, 447 est disposé en parallèle de préférence dans le même plan vertical que l'axe fileté 423. Cet axe 446, 447 coulisse dans un trou borgne 448, 449 réalisé dans le panneton 409. La longueur de cet axe 446,447 est légèrement inférieure à la longueur de l'axe fileté 423.We refer to fig. 9 and 10 showing another variant of the fitting according to the invention. To consolidate the holding of the bit 409, at least one guide pin 446,447 is provided which is integral with the operating rod 402. This guide pin 446, 447 is preferably arranged in parallel in the same vertical plane as the threaded axis 423. This axis 446, 447 slides in a blind hole 448, 449 produced in the bit 409. The length of this axis 446.447 is slightly less than the length of the threaded axis 423.
