Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de blocage et de mise à disposition de supports d'informations portatifs formé, par exemple, par des clés ou similaires.The present invention relates to a device for blocking and providing portable information carriers formed, for example, by keys or the like.

Dans de nombreux endroits publics ou privés et en particulier dans des clubs ou associations notamment sportifs, une multiplicité de personnes peuvent avoir accès à une multiplicité d'endroits. Dans la pratique actuelle, on affecte à chacune des personnes l'ensemble des moyens, en général constitués par des clés, qui permettent l'actionnement des moyens de fermeture et d'ouverture d'accès aux locaux, aux armoires ou à tous autres éléments devant être protégés par des moyens de fermeture verrouillables. Cette solution présente des inconvénients. Il est en effet nécessaire de reproduire chaque moyen d'actionnement autant de fois qu'il y a de personnes, chaque personne doit transporter avec elle l'ensemble de ces moyens et les risques de perte sont importants et nécessitent des reproductions.In many public or private places and in particular in clubs or associations in particular sports, a multiplicity of people can have access to a multiplicity of places. In current practice, each of the persons is assigned all of the means, generally constituted by keys, which allow the actuation of the closing and opening means of access to the premises, to the cupboards or to all other elements. to be protected by lockable closure means. This solution has drawbacks. It is indeed necessary to reproduce each actuating means as many times as there are people, each person must carry with them all of these means and the risks of loss are significant and require reproductions.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et propose un dispositif qui, dans l'application ci-dessus, permet de n'attribuer à chacune des personnes qu'un seul moyen d'actionnement.The present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks and proposes a device which, in the above application, makes it possible to assign to each of the persons only one actuation means.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention est un dispositif de blocage et de mise à disposition d'un premier support d'informations portatif à l'aide d'un second support d'informations portatif, et réciproquement.The device according to the present invention is a device for blocking and providing a first portable information medium using a second portable information medium, and vice versa.

Conformément à la présente invention, ce dispositif est tel qu'il comprend des premiers moyens de réception et de reconnaissance dudit premier support d'informations, des seconds moyens de réception et de reconnaissance dudit second support d'informations et des moyens pour bloquer l'un des supports d'information dans ses moyens de réception lorsque l'autre est séparé de ses moyens de réception et pour mettre à disposition au moins l'un desdits supports d'informations bloqué préalablement dans ses moyens de réception lorsque l'autre est disposé dans ses moyens de réception.According to the present invention, this device is such that it comprises first means for receiving and recognizing said first information carrier, second means for receiving and recognizing said second information carrier and means for blocking the one of the information carriers in its reception means when the other is separated from its reception means and to make available at least one of said information carriers blocked beforehand in its reception means when the other is disposed in its means of reception.

Dans une variante de réalisation, le dispositif selon la présente invention comprend comme support d'informations des clés et comme moyens de réception de ces clés des blocs de sécurité formés chacun par un barillet monté dans un élément cylindrique fixe récepteur de ce barillet, chacune des clés ne pouvant être introduite ou retirée du bloc de sécurité qui lui est associé que lorsque son barillet est dans une position déterminée par rapport à son élément cylindrique, des moyens étant prévus pour relier en rotation ledits barillets de telle sorte qu'ils ne puissent se trouver en même temps dans lesdites positions déterminées d'introduction et d'extraction desdites clés.In an alternative embodiment, the device according to the present invention comprises, as an information carrier, keys and as means for receiving these keys, security blocks formed each by a barrel mounted in a fixed cylindrical element receiving this barrel, each of the keys being able to be inserted or removed from the safety block associated with it only when its barrel is in a determined position relative to its cylindrical element, means being provided to connect said barrels in rotation so that they cannot be at the same time in said determined positions of introduction and extraction of said keys.

Dans cette variante, lesdits moyens de liaison sont de préférence formés par des bras de levier respectivement liés en rotation auxdits barillets, chacun de ces bras de levier formant butée pour l'autre lorsqu'il se trouve dans ladite orientation déterminée. Ces bras de levier peuvent être reliés par l'intermédiaire d'une tige ou d'un poussoir.In this variant, said connecting means are preferably formed by lever arms respectively linked in rotation to said barrels, each of these lever arms forming a stop for the other when it is in said determined orientation. These lever arms can be connected by means of a rod or a pusher.

Dans cette variante également, les blocs de sécurité sont de préférence disposés dans un boîtier présentant des ouvertures d'accès à ces blocs de sécurité pour lesdites clés. Ces blocs de sécurité peuvent avantageusement être maintenus et positionnés l'un par rapport à l'autre par les parois intérieures de ce boîtier contre lesquelles vient en appui leur élément fixe récepteur de leur barillet. En outre, lesdits blocs de sécurité peuvent avantageusement être mutuellement en contact en vue de leur positionnement et maintien l'un par rapport à l'autre et par rapport audit boîtier.Also in this variant, the security blocks are preferably arranged in a housing having access openings to these security blocks for said keys. These safety blocks can advantageously be maintained and positioned relative to each other by the interior walls of this box against which their fixed element receiving their barrel abuts. In addition, said security blocks can advantageously be in mutual contact with a view to their positioning and maintenance relative to one another and relative to said housing.

Conformément à la présente invention, l'un des supports d'informations portatifs est réalisé en autant d'exemplaires qu'il y a de personnes autorisées, chacun de ces exemplaires étant attribué à une personne et portant éventuellement des moyens de reconnaissance de la personne à qui il est attribué, tandis que l'autre support d'informations portatif porte des moyens qui permettent son utilisation en différents endroits ou portent d'autres supports d'informations portatifs.In accordance with the present invention, one of the portable information carriers is produced in as many copies as there are authorized persons, each of these copies being assigned to a person and possibly carrying means of recognizing the person. to whom it is allocated, while the other portable information carrier carries means which allow its use in different places or carry other portable information carriers.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à l'étude d'un dispositif de bloéage et de mise à disposition d'une première clé à l'aide d'une seconde clé et réciproquement, décrit à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustré sur le dessin sur lequel :

  • - la figure 1 représente une coupe longitudinale selon deux plans parallèles Ia et Ib de la figure 2, d'un dispositif selon la présente invention ;
  • - et la figure 2 représente une coupe transversale selon II-II du dispositif de la figure 1.
The present invention will be better understood from the study of a device for blocking and making available a first key using a second key and vice versa, described by way of nonlimiting example and illustrated on the drawing on which:
  • - Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section along two parallel planes I a and I b of Figure 2, of a device according to the present invention;
  • - And Figure 2 shows a cross section along II-II of the device of Figure 1.

Le dispositif représenté sur les figures et repéré d'une manière générale par la référence 1 comprend deux blocs de sécurité repérés d'une manière générale par les références 2 et 3 et représentés en vues extérieures qui comprennent respectivement des éléments cylindriques 4 et 5 dans lesquels sont disposés des barillets 6 et 7, ces blocs de sécurité étant d'un type classique de telle sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de les décrire plus en détail. Ces blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 sont adaptés pour recevoir respectivement les clés 8 et 9 et sont tels que les clés 8 et 9 ne peuvent être introduites dans les barillets 6 et 7 que si ces barillets ont une orientation déterminée par rapport aux éléments cylindriques 4 et 5 et que les barillets 6 et 7 sont bloqués dans cette orientation si les clés 8 et 9 sont extraites.The device shown in the figures and generally identified by the reference 1 comprises two safety blocks generally identified by the references 2 and 3 and shown in external views which respectively comprise cylindrical elements 4 and 5 in which barrels 6 and 7 are arranged, these safety blocks being of a conventional type so that it is not necessary to describe them in more detail. These safety blocks 2 and 3 are adapted to receive the keys 8 and 9 respectively and are such that the keys 8 and 9 can only be introduced into the barrels 6 and 7 if these barrels have a determined orientation relative to the cylindrical elements 4 and 5 and that the barrels 6 and 7 are locked in this orientation if the keys 8 and 9 are extracted.

Les blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 sont disposés parallèlement à l'intérieur d'un boîtier 10 de forme parallélèpipédique dont les parois d'extrémité 11 et 12 présentent respectivement des ouvertures 13 et 14, l'ouverture 13 permettant l'introduction de la clé 8 dans le bloc de sécurité 2 tandis que l'ouverture 14 permet l'introduction de la clé 9 dans le bloc de sécurité 3.The safety blocks 2 and 3 are arranged parallel to the inside of a box 10 of parallelepiped shape, the end walls 11 and 12 of which have openings 13 and 14 respectively, the opening 13 allowing the key to be inserted. 8 in the security block 2 while the opening 14 allows the introduction of the key 9 in the security block 3.

Comme on peut lé voir sur la figure 2, les blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 sont en contact avec les parois intérieures du boîtier 10 et leurs éléments cylindriques fixes sont par ailleurs reliés par un élément 15 et sont en appui l'un contre 1'.autre en vue de leur maintien et de leur positionnement par rapport au boîtier 10 et l'un par rapport à l'autre.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the safety blocks 2 and 3 are in contact with the interior walls of the housing 10 and their fixed cylindrical elements are moreover connected by an element 15 and are in abutment one against 1 ' .other for their maintenance and positioning relative to the housing 10 and one relative to the other.

Les blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 présentent deux bras de levier 16 et 17 qui sont liés en rotation à leur barillets respectifs 6 et 7, ces bras de levier 16 et 17 s'étendant d'un même côté par rapport à leurs axes de rotation prallèles. Le bras de levier 17 porte une tige ou poussoir qui s'étend vers le bras de levier 16 et qui constitue un élément d'écartement liant en rotation les bras de levier 16 et 17 et en conséquence les barillets 6 et 7 de telle sorte que ces bras de levier 16 et 17, et en conséquence les barillets 6 et 7 des blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 sont nécessairement décalés angulairement.The safety blocks 2 and 3 have two lever arms 16 and 17 which are linked in rotation to their respective barrels 6 and 7, these lever arms 16 and 17 extending on the same side with respect to their axes of rotation. pralleles. The lever arm 17 carries a rod or pusher which extends towards the lever arm 16 and which constitutes a spacer element linking in rotation the lever arms 16 and 17 and consequently the barrels 6 and 7 so that these lever arms 16 and 17, and consequently the barrels 6 and 7 of the safety blocks 2 and 3 are necessarily angularly offset.

Le dispositif 1 représenté sur les figures fonctionne de la manière suivante.The device 1 shown in the figures operates as follows.

Lors du montage du dispositif 1, il est nécessaire qu'au moins l'un des blocs de sécurité 2 et 3 soit muni de sa clé. Par exemple, on a monté le dispositif 1 en ayant disposé la clé 9 dans le bloc de sécurité 3 de telle sorte que le barillet 7 et son levier 17 puissent tourner. La clé 8 n'étant pas disposée dans le bloc de sécurité 2, son barillet 6 et son bras de levier 16 sont maintenus dans la position déterminée d'introduction de la clé 8. Grâce à la tige 18, le bras de levier 17 et le barillet 7 sont décalés angulairement par rapport à la position d'introduction ou d'extraction de la clé 9 de telle sorte que cette clé 9 préalablement disposée ne peut pas être extraite du bloc de sécurité 3. Les barillets 6 et 7, les bras de levier 16 et 17 et la clé 9 sont dans la position représentée sur les figures et 2.When mounting the device 1, it is necessary that at least one of the safety blocks 2 and 3 is provided with its key. For example, the device 1 has been mounted having the key 9 placed in the safety block 3 so that the barrel 7 and its lever 17 can rotate. Since the key 8 is not placed in the safety block 2, its barrel 6 and its lever arm 16 are held in the determined position for introducing the key 8. Thanks to the rod 18, the lever arm 17 and the barrel 7 are angularly offset with respect to the position of insertion or extraction of the key 9 so that this previously arranged key 9 cannot be extracted from the safety block 3. The barrels 6 and 7, the arms lever 16 and 17 and the key 9 are in the position shown in the figures and 2.

Si l'on introduit la clé 8 dans le bloc de sécurité 2, on libère son barillet 6 qui peut alors tourner avec son bras de levier 16. Il s'ensuit qu'il est possible, grâce à la clé 9, de faire pivoter le barillet 7 et son bras de levier 17 du bloc de sécurité 3 jusqu'à sa position d'extration de la clé 14. Lorsque la clé 9 est ramenée dans sa position d'extraction, le barillet 6 et son bras de levier 16, grâce à la tige 18, viennent dans une position décalée angulairement par rapport à la position d'extraction de la clé 8 qui se trouve alors bloquée dans le bloc de sécurité 2. On peut alors , dans cette position, extraire la clé 9 du bloc de sécurité 3. En disposant de nouveau la clé 9 dans le bloc de sécurité 3, on libère en rotation le barillet 7 et son bras de levier 17 de telle sorte qu'il est possible de ramener, grâce à la clé 8, le barillet 6 et son bras de levier 16 dans la position d'extraction de la clé 8 qui peut alors être extraite, la clé 9 se trouvant de nouveau bloquée dans le bloc de sécurité 3 du fait que son barillet 7 et son bras de levier 17 sont décalés angulairement par rapport à la position d'extraction de la clé 9.If the key 8 is introduced into the safety block 2, its barrel 6 is released which can then rotate with its lever arm 16. It follows that it is possible, thanks to the key 9, to pivot the barrel 7 and its lever arm 17 of the safety block 3 to its key extraction position 14. When the key 9 is returned to its extraction position, the barrel 6 and its lever arm 16, thanks to the rod 18, come in a position angularly offset relative to the position of extraction of the key 8 which is then blocked in the safety block 2. It is then possible, in this position, to extract the key 9 from the block security 3. By again placing the key 9 in the security block 3, the barrel 7 and its lever arm 17 are released in rotation so that it is possible to bring the barrel back thanks to the key 8 6 and its lever arm 16 in the key extraction position 8 which can then be extracted, the key 9 being again blocked in the safety block 3 because its barrel 7 and its lever arm 17 are angularly offset with respect to the position for extracting the key 9.

On remarque donc que lorsque les deux clés 8 et 9 sont dans leus blocs de sécurité respectifs 2 et 3, on peut extraire l'une ou l'autre de ces deux clés 8 et 9. Cependant, lorsque l'une des clés est extraite, il est impossible d'extraire l'autre clé qui se trouve bloquée dans le bloc de sécurité qui la porte.It is therefore noted that when the two keys 8 and 9 are in the respective security blocks 2 and 3, one can extract one or the other of these two keys 8 and 9. However, when one of the keys is extracted , it is impossible to extract the other key which is blocked in the security block which carries it.

Une des applications du dispositif 1 représenté sur les figures consiste à réaliser une multiplicité de clés 8 qui sont chacune attribuée à une personne, chacune des clés 8 portant par exemple un code de référence de la personne à laquelle elle est attribuée et la clé 9 porte un trousseau de clés, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un anneau, chacune des clés de ce trousseau de clés permettant l'actionnement d'une multiplicité de serrures d'accès à des locaux, armoires ou autres.One of the applications of the device 1 represented in the figures consists in producing a multiplicity of keys 8 which are each assigned to a person, each of the keys 8 carrying for example a reference code of the person to whom it is assigned and the key 9 carries a bunch of keys, for example by means of a ring, each of the keys of this bunch of keys allowing the actuation of a multiplicity of locks for access to premises, cupboards or other.

Si une des personnes a besoin d'utiliser le trousseau de clés porté par la clé 9 suspendue au dispositif 1, elle introduit sa clé 8 dans le bloc de sécurité 2 et elle peut extraire la clé 9 du dispositif 1, sa clé 8 restant bloquée dans le dispositif 1. Après qu'elle ait utilisée le trousseau de clés associé à la clé 9, elle introduit la clé 9 dans le dispositif 1 et elle peut extraire sa clé 8 du bloc de sécurité 2 et l'emporter, la clé 9 munie du trousseau se trouvant de nouveau bloquée dans le bloc de sécurité 3.If one of the people needs to use the keyring carried by the key 9 hanging from the device 1, he introduces his key 8 into the security block 2 and he can extract the key 9 from the device 1, his key 8 remaining blocked in the device 1. After having used the key ring associated with the key 9, she introduces the key 9 into the device 1 and she can extract her key 8 from the security block 2 and take it away, the key 9 fitted with the keychain which is again locked in the safety block 3.

Dans cette variante, on voit que l'ensemble des clés associé à la clé 9 peut rester à demeure sur le dispositif 1 tandis que chacune des personnes autorisée à utiliser le trousseau de clés associé à la clé 9 n'a besoin d'emporter avec soi qu'une seule clé 8.In this variant, it can be seen that all of the keys associated with the key 9 can remain permanently on the device 1 while each of the persons authorized to use the keyring associated with the key 9 does not need to carry with them. only one key 8.

Bien entendu, le dispositif 1 est fixé en un endroit déterminé par exemple uniquement accessible aux personnes munies d'une clé 8. Pour celà, le boîtier 10 peut présenter des pattes de fixation 19.Of course, the device 1 is fixed in a determined location, for example only accessible to persons provided with a key 8. For this, the housing 10 can have fixing lugs 19.

La présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple ci-dessus décrit. On aurait pu choisir des blocs de sécurité présentant des bras de levier décalés angulairement par rapport à la position des barillets permettant l'introduction ou l'extraction de la clé associée. De la sorte, la tige 18 peut être supprimée et chacun de ces bras de levier forme butée pour l'autre lorsqu'il se trouve dans ladite position. De plus, on aurait pu prévoir un boîtier dont la forme et la structure permettraient de maintenir et positionner les blocs de sécurité l'un par rapport à 1'autre sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les assembler par l'élément 15. Bien d'autres variantes de réalisation sont possibles sans sortir du cadre défini par les revendications annexées.The present invention is not limited to the example described above. We could have chosen security blocks having lever arms angularly offset from the position of the barrels allowing the introduction or extraction of the associated key. In this way, the rod 18 can be eliminated and each of these lever arms forms a stop for the other when it is in said position. In addition, one could have provided a box whose shape and structure would maintain and position the safety blocks relative to 1'autre without it being necessary to assemble them by the element 15. Bien d other embodiments are possible without departing from the scope defined by the appended claims.
