Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif apportant un perfectionnement dans la fermeture des portes pliantes à deux vantaux ou à deux fois deux vantaux utilisées notamment pour la fermeture de placards encastrés.The present invention relates to a device providing an improvement in the closing of folding doors with two leaves or twice two leaves used in particular for closing built-in cupboards.

Selon une de ses applications préférentielles, mais non limitatives, elle vise un système permettant d'appliquer parfaitement le pourtour des vantaux sur le chambranle de la porte, supprimant tout jeu et entrebaillement. Ledit système apporte en plus un effet esthétique portes fermées si l'on souhaite dissimuler le chambranle.According to one of its preferred, but non-limiting, applications, it aims at a system making it possible to perfectly apply the periphery of the leaves to the door jamb, eliminating any play and interlocking. Said system also provides an aesthetic effect with the doors closed if one wishes to conceal the jamb.

Tous les mécanismes connus pour ce type de portes font appel à au moins un rail de guidage fixé dans la partie supérieure du chambranle et dans lequel vient coulisser un doigt ou un petit galet fixé à l'extrémité supérieure de la partie libre du vantail glissant. La configuration du rail est généralement telle que la combinaison rail-doigt ou galet maintienne suspendu le vantail glissant, soulageant les charnières de liaison des deux vantaux ainsi que les paumelles entre le chambranle et le vantail pivotant.All the mechanisms known for this type of door use at least one guide rail fixed in the upper part of the frame and in which slides a finger or a small roller fixed to the upper end of the free part of the sliding leaf. The configuration of the rail is generally such that the rail-finger or roller combination keeps the sliding leaf suspended, relieving the hinges connecting the two leaves as well as the hinges between the jamb and the pivoting leaf.

Toutes les fermetures connues utilisant ce système (voir BE-A 422 612 correspondant au préambule de la revendication 1) présentent toutefois l'inconvénient que leur bon fonctionnement nécessite l'existence d'un certain jeu entre la partie supérieure des vantaux, le rail de guidage et le chambranle..All known closings using this system (see BE-A 422 612 corresponding to the preamble of claim 1) have the drawback, however, that their proper functioning requires the existence of a certain clearance between the upper part of the leaves, the rail of guide and frame.

La présente invention vise à. remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif pour la fermeture des portes à deux vantaux repliables qui permette de masquer intégralement les pièces nécessaires à leur fonctionnement en assurant une fermeture sans jeu.The present invention aims to. remedy this drawback by proposing a device for closing doors with two foldable leaves which allows the parts necessary for their operation to be completely masked by ensuring a clearance without play.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif pour la fermeture des portes à deux vantaux repliables, du type comprenant une glissière fixée dans la traverse haute du chambranle dans lequel peut coulisser un doigt de guidage solidaire du ventail glissant caractérisé en ce que le doigt de guidage termine un coulisseau dont il est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal, ce coulisseau étant monté coulissant dans un support horizontal solidarisé à la partie supérieure de la face interne dudit vantail, à proximité de sa bordure.The present invention thus relates to a device for closing doors with two foldable leaves, of the type comprising a slide fixed in the upper cross member of the jamb in which a guide finger integral with the sliding leaf can slide, characterized in that the finger guiding ends a slide of which it is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, this slide being slidably mounted in a horizontal support secured to the upper part of the internal face of said leaf, near its edge.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, étant bien entendu que cette description ne présente aucun caractère limitatif vis-à- vis de l'invention.The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, it being understood that this description has no limiting character with respect to the invention.

Dans le dessin annexé:

  • - la figure 1 représente une porte comportant un dispositif selon l'invention, complètement ouverte, les deux vantaux repliés l'un sur l'autre.
  • - la figure 2 représente la même porte complètement fermée.
  • - la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective du doigt de guidage à coulisse.
In the attached drawing:
  • - Figure 1 shows a door comprising a device according to the invention, completely open, the two leaves folded one over the other.
  • - Figure 2 shows the same door completely closed.
  • - Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the sliding guide finger.

Si on se réfère d'abord à la figure 1, on voit la partie fixe (1) de la porte ou chambranle, dans laquelle ont été vissées des fiches (2) ou charnières également vissées dans le vantail pivotant (3), permettant le pivotement de celui-ci par rapport au chambranle (1).If we refer first to Figure 1, we see the fixed part (1) of the door or jamb, in which were screwed plugs (2) or hinges also screwed into the pivoting leaf (3), allowing the pivoting thereof relative to the frame (1).

Sur ce vantail pivotant (3) et à l'opposé des fiches (2), une charnière (5) se trouve vissée permettant de le réunir au vantail glissant (4) en offrant la possibilité d'un débattement angulaire de 180°.On this pivoting leaf (3) and opposite the plugs (2), a hinge (5) is screwed allowing it to be joined to the sliding leaf (4) by offering the possibility of an angular movement of 180 ° .

Monté sur la charnière (5), le vantail glissant (4) est muni, à sa partie supérieure, d'un support (6) horizontal fixé sur sa face interne. La partie interne dudit support est constituée d'une glissière recevant un coulisseau (7) dont l'extrémité forme un doigt (8) perpendiculaire à son axe longitudinal XX'. Le doigt (8) s'engage dans une glissière (9) fixée dans la traverse haute du chambranle.Mounted on the hinge (5), the sliding leaf (4) is provided, at its upper part, with a horizontal support (6) fixed on its internal face. The internal part of said support consists of a slide receiving a slide (7) the end of which forms a finger (8) perpendicular to its longitudinal axis XX ' . The finger (8) engages in a slide (9) fixed in the upper crosspiece of the jamb.

Le fonctionnement de la porte en cours de fermeture ou d'ouverture s'effectue comme pour toutes les portes basées sur ce système. En fin de course de fermeture le dispositif selon l'invention permet au vantail glissant (4) de joindre le montant vertical (10) du chambranle (1), comme représenté sur la figure 2 où la glissière (9) du chambranle n'a pas été représentée.The door operates during closing or opening as for all doors based on this system. At the end of the closing stroke, the device according to the invention allows the sliding leaf (4) to join the vertical upright (10) of the jamb (1), as shown in FIG. 2 where the slide (9) of the jamb has not been represented.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, on voit que le doigt à coulisse est constitué d'un corps ou support (6) creux de forme parallélépipédique formant une glissière à quatre faces qui reçoit un coulisseau (7) de forme également parallélépipédique dans sa partie de guidage. Ce coulisseau (7) se termine, à l'extérieur de la glissière (6) par un doigt cylindrique (8) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal XX' du coulisseau (7). A l'opposé, le coulisseau se prolonge par une tige (11) entourée d'un ressort hélicoïdal de compression (12) qui tend à pousser le coulisseau (7) vers l'extérieur mais pour limiter son débattement, une goupille cylindrique (13) passée au travers de la tige (11) vient buter sur la face arrière du corps ou support (6).If we now refer to FIG. 3, we see that the sliding finger consists of a hollow body or support (6) of parallelepiped shape forming a four-sided slide which receives a slide (7) of also parallelepiped shape in its guiding part. This slide (7) ends, outside the slide (6) by a cylindrical finger (8) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis XX ' of the slide (7). In contrast, the slide is extended by a rod (11) surrounded by a helical compression spring (12) which tends to push the slide (7) outwards but to limit its travel, a cylindrical pin (13 ) passed through the rod (11) abuts on the rear face of the body or support (6).

Pour permettre la fixation du corps ou support (6) sur le vantail glissant (4) ses faces latérales comportent deux trous (14) pour passage de vis et deux lumières (15) pour engager l'embout d'un tourne-vuTo allow the body or support (6) to be fixed on the sliding leaf (4), its lateral faces have two holes (14) for screw passage and two slots (15) for engaging the end of a screwdriver

Par rapport aux systèmes connus, le dIspositif selon l'invention présente l'avantage appréciable d'être d'une pose très facile et rapide par simple vissage, sans entaille, et de permettre une ouverture complète par enlèvement, sans outil, de la goupille permettant la désolidarisation du vantail glissant du chambranle et l'accès complet à l'intérieur du placard pour un aménagement tel qu'une pose d'étagère.Compared to known systems, the device according to the invention has the appreciable advantage of being very easy and quick to install by simple screwing, without notching, and of allowing complete opening by removal, without tools, of the pin. allowing the sliding leaf to be detached from the doorframe and full access to the interior of the cupboard for an arrangement such as a shelf installation.

A cet avantage s'ajoute celui offert par la possibilité de fixer au vantail glissant deux dispositifs de guidage haut et bas pour une meilleure tenue des vantaux, cette fixation s'opérant facilement, par simple vissage.To this advantage is added that offered by the possibility of attaching to the sliding leaf two top and bottom guide devices for better holding of the leaves, this fixing being carried out easily, by simple screwing.

Le support du coulisseau terminé par le doigt de guidage, ainsi que le coulisseau et le doigt eux mêmes peuvent être réalisés en métal ou en une matière plastique dure, la préférence étant toutefois donnée au métal.The support of the slide terminated by the guide finger, as well as the slide and the finger themselves can be made of metal or of a hard plastic material, however preference is given to metal.
