Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une serrure pour fermeture à glissière, par exemple dans des bagages souples.The invention relates to a lock for a zipper, for example in flexible luggage.
L'utilisation de fermetures à glissière a reçu un très grand développement, en particulier dans les bagages souples, et le verrouillage de telles fermetures, afin d'éviter un accès non autorisé à l'intérieur du volume fermé par la fermeture à glissière, est devenu un problème important.The use of zippers has received a great development, in particular in soft luggage, and the locking of such closures, in order to avoid unauthorized access to the interior of the volume closed by the zipper, is become a big problem.
Dans certaines fermetures à glissière connues, la poignée du curseur porte une pièce additionnelle qui constitue un élément d'une serrure, le reste de la serrure étant fixé à l'ensemble qui doit être fermé. Ces serrures présentent divers inconvénients, principalement celui de nécessiter une pièce spéciale additionnelle fixée à la poignée et celui de ne pas permettre l'utilisation de fermetures à glissière à deux curseurs permettant l'ouverture de la fermeture à glissière dans deux directions opposées.In certain known zippers, the cursor handle carries an additional part which constitutes an element of a lock, the rest of the lock being fixed to the assembly which must be closed. These locks have various drawbacks, mainly that of requiring an additional special part fixed to the handle and that of not allowing the use of zippers with two sliders allowing the opening of the zipper in two opposite directions.
Avec ce type de fermeture à glissière ayant. deux curseurs, la pratique commune a été d'utiliser un cadenas coopérant avec le trou normalement prévu dans chaque poignée des curseurs, afin de verrouiller la fermeture à glissière. Cette solution présente également divers inconvénients. Elle ne peut pas être utilisée avec une fermeture à glissière munie d'un seul curseur à moins de prévoir une pièce d'extrémité spéciale pour coopérer avec le cadenas. De plus, le cadenas pend à l'extérieur de la fermeture à glissière et est facilement arraché, par exemple en voyage pour des bagages. Egalement, pour une fermeture à deux curseurs, le verrouillage peut être effectué en toute position de ces curseurs, ce qui ne donne pas un bon aspect. L'aspect du cadenas lui-même est généralement mauvais et le cadenas peut facilement être perdu lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.With this type of zipper having. two sliders, the common practice has been to use a padlock cooperating with the hole normally provided in each handle of the sliders, in order to lock the zipper. This solution also has various drawbacks. It cannot be used with a zipper fitted with a single slider unless a special end piece is provided to cooperate with the padlock. In addition, the padlock hangs outside of the zipper and is easily torn off, for example when traveling for luggage. Also, for a closure with two sliders, the locking can be carried out in any position of these sliders, which does not give a good appearance. The appearance of the padlock itself is generally poor and the padlock can easily be lost when not in use.
On connaît par US-A-1680652 une serrure pour fermeture à glissière comprenant un boîtier muni d'une ouverture pour le passage de l'extrémité recourbée d'une poignée rapportée sur un curseur de fermeture à glissière, la poignée comportant un trou que peut traverser un pêne coulissant de la serrure solidaire d'un bouton de commande qui peut être immobilisé par une clé. Cette serrure connue nécessite une poignée spéciale rapportée, ne permet pas le verrouillage de plusieurs curseurs et présente l'inconvénient, du point de vue de la sécurité, de pouvoir être fermée sans être verrouillée.US-A-1680652 discloses a slide fastener lock comprising a housing provided with an opening for the passage of the curved end of a handle attached to a slide fastener slider, the handle having a hole which can cross a sliding bolt of the lock secured to a control button which can be immobilized by a key. This known lock requires a special attached handle, does not allow the locking of several sliders and has the disadvantage, from the point of view of security, of being able to be closed without being locked.
On connaît d'autre part, par US-A-4031723, une serrure dans laquelle un axe à méplat pivotant, traversant un orifice allongé d'une ou plusieurs poignées de fermeture à glissière, peut être verrouillé par un système à molettes ou à clé dans une position dans laquelle le méplat est orthogonal à l'ouverture de poignée, qui ne peut être libérée. Cette serrure est de construction compliquée, présente un encombrement important dû à l'axe à méplat, et est d'une utilisation malaisée.We know on the other hand, from US-A-4031723, a lock in which a pivoting flat axis, passing through an elongated opening of one or more zipper handles, can be locked by a wheel or key system in a position in which the flat is orthogonal to the handle opening, which cannot be released. This lock is of complicated construction, has a large size due to the flat axis, and is difficult to use.
La présente invention a pour objet une nouvelle serrure pour fermeture à glissière munie d'au moins un curseur portant une poignée munie d'un trou et pivotante par rapport au curseur, qui utilise les fermetures à glissière sans pièce additionnelle, à un ou deux curseurs, et qui ne permette le verrouillage qu'en une seule position fixe sans aucune partie séparable, à l'exception de la clé.The subject of the present invention is a new lock for a zipper provided with at least one slider carrying a handle provided with a hole and pivotable relative to the slider, which uses the zippers without additional part, with one or two sliders , and which allows locking in only one fixed position without any separable part, except for the key.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une serrure pour fermeture à glissière munie d'au moins un curseur portant une poignée munie d'un trou et pivotante par rapport au curseur, comprenant un boîtier fixé au volume à fermer par la fermeture à glissière, ledit boîtier étant muni d'une ouverture pour recevoir au moins une poignée d'un curseur de la fermeture, et un organe de verrouillage mobile traversant ladite ouverture et le trou de la poignée, caractérisée par le fait que ledit organe de verrouillage est constitué par une came solidaire d'un rotor commandé par une clé codée, ladite came étant montée à l'extrémité dudit rotor opposée à l'introduction de clé, l'axe de pivotement du rotor étant sensiblement orthogonal à la fermeture à glissière dans la région dudit boîtier.To this end, the subject of the invention is a lock for a zipper provided with at least one slider carrying a handle provided with a hole and pivotable relative to the slider, comprising a housing fixed to the volume to be closed by the closure with slide, said housing being provided with an opening for receiving at least one handle of a closure slider, and a movable locking member passing through said opening and the hole in the handle, characterized in that said locking member is consisting of a cam secured to a rotor controlled by a coded key, said cam being mounted at the end of said rotor opposite to the introduction of a key, the pivot axis of the rotor being substantially orthogonal to the zipper in the region of said housing.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :
- la figure 1 représente la serrure en position de verrouillage sur une valise souple, en élévation frontale, et la figure 2 représente la serrure seule, en élévation arrière, avec un couvercle séparé, la serrure étant en position de déverrouillage.
- Figure 1 shows the lock in the locked position on a flexible case, in front elevation, and Figure 2 shows the lock alone, in rear elevation, with a separate cover, the lock being in the unlocked position.
Dans l'exemple représenté, un bagage souple 1 est fermé par une fermeture à glissière 2 munie de deux curseurs 3, 4 qui portent chacun une poignée 5, 6 munie d'un trou traversant 7, 8 respectivement. Comme à l'accoutumée, les poignées 5, 6 sont pivotantes dans certaines limites par rapport à leur curseur 3, 4.In the example shown, a flexible bag 1 is closed by a
Une serrure 9 selon l'invention est fixée à la valise 1, au voisinage du milieu de la fermeture à glissière 2. La serrure 9 comprend un boîtier 10 fixé à l'extérieur de la valise 1 et un couvercle postérieur 11 (figure 2) fixé sur le boîtier 10 à l'intérieur de la valise 1. Le boîtier 10 porte un barillet de verrouillage 12 commandé par une clé codée (non représentée) et qui est pivotant dans le boîtier 10 autour d'un axe sensiblement orthogonal au plan de la valise et de la fermeture à glissière 2. Le rotor 12 porte une came ou pêne de verrouillage 13 qui, en position de verrouillage de la serrure 9 (figure 1 et ligne en pointillés a la figure 2), traverse une ouverture ou évidement 14 dans le boîtier 10 à travers les trous 7 et 8 des poignées 5 et 6 des curseurs, qui ne peuvent donc plus être déplacés. Dans la position de déverrouillage (ligne en trait plein de la figure 2), la came 13 découvre l'ouverture 14 et les curseurs 3, 4 peuvent être déplacés par action sur leur poignée respective 5, 6.A
