Abstract

La serrure comporte une gâche (2), une fourchette (3) pourvue de deux branches (7, 8) de retenue de la gâche (2), un cliquet (9) pouvant être placé dans une position de verrouillage de la fourchette (3) sur la gâche (2), et un levier (12) de commande du cliquet (9) pour permettre le déverrouillage de la fourchette (3). Le levier (12) est relié à une commande (13, 14) d'ouverture extérieure ou intérieure et est associé à un circuit électrique de condamnation comportant des interrupteurs (25, 26) et un électromécanisme réalisés de telle sorte qu'une tentative d'ouverture non autorisée après condamnation de la porte provoque la fermeture d'un des interrupteurs (25, 26) et la mise sous tension de l'électromécanisme, qui débraye automatiquement le levier (12) du cliquet (9), ce qui empêche le déverrouillage de la serrure par le cliquet. En cas de panne de la batterie d'alimentation, le levier (12) reste accouplé au cliquet (9), ce qui permet l'ouverture de la porte.The lock comprises a keeper (2), a fork (3) provided with two arms (7, 8) for retaining the keeper (2), a pawl (9) which can be placed in a locking position of the fork (3 ) on the keeper (2), and a lever (12) for controlling the pawl (9) to allow the fork to be unlocked (3). The lever (12) is connected to a control (13, 14) for external or internal opening and is associated with an electrical locking circuit comprising switches (25, 26) and an electromechanical mechanism designed so that an attempt to unauthorized opening after locking the door causes one of the switches (25, 26) to close and the electromechanism to energize, which automatically disengages the lever (12) from the pawl (9), which prevents unlocking of the lock by the ratchet. In the event of a failure of the supply battery, the lever (12) remains coupled to the pawl (9), which allows the door to be opened.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un en­semble de serrure de porte et d'un dispositif de condamnation de cette serrure, notamment pour porte de véhicule automobile, ainsi que la serrure faisant par­tie de cet ensemble.The subject of the present invention is a set of door locks and a device for locking this lock, in particular for the door of a motor vehicle, as well as the lock forming part of this set.

Plus généralement, l'invention est applica­ble à toute serrure ou fermeture d'ouvrant du type ci-dessous, le terme "porte" étant employé ci-après comme synonyme d'ouvrant pour la commodité de la description.More generally, the invention is applicable to any lock or closure of a sash of the type below, the term "door" being used below as a synonym for sash for the convenience of the description.

La serrure visée par l'invention est du type comportant une gâche fixée sur un encadrement de la porte, une fourchette articulée dans un boîtier de serrure dans lequel est ménagée une ouverture de réception de la gâche, cette fourchette étant pourvue de deux branches de retenue de la gâche entre elles, un cliquet articulé sur le boîtier de serrure et pouvant être placé dans une position de verrouillage de la fourchette sur la gâche pour maintenir la porte fermée, des moyens de manoeuvre du cliquet pour permettre le verrouillage et le déverrouillage de la fourchette, et qui peuvent être rendus inopérants par le dispositif de condamnation.The lock targeted by the invention is of the type comprising a keeper fixed to a door frame, a fork articulated in a lock housing in which is formed an opening for receiving the keeper, this fork being provided with two retaining branches of the keeper between them, a pawl articulated on the lock box and able to be placed in a position for locking the fork on the keeper to keep the door closed, means for operating the pawl to allow the locking and unlocking of the fork, and which can be rendered inoperative by the locking device.

Dans les serrures connues, on trouve de plus en plus souvent une commande électromécanique centra­lisée à partir d'un verrou à clé, équipée de contacts électriques permettant de condamner ou de décondamner l'ensemble des portes depuis l'extérieur, en particu­lier l'extérieur d'un véhicule.In known locks, there is more and more often a centralized electromechanical control from a key lock, equipped with electrical contacts making it possible to lock or unlock all the doors from the outside, in particular the outside. of a vehicle.

On peut adjoindre à ce verrou à clé (ou même le remplacer) une commande à distance codée, à infra­rouge ou à ondes hertziennes remplissant la même fonc­ tion. Dans les deux cas, l'accès au véhicule est vali­dé par coïncidence d'un code (clé ou télécommande).You can add to this key lock (or even replace it) a coded remote control, infrared or radio waves fulfilling the same function tion. In both cases, access to the vehicle is validated by coincidence of a code (key or remote control).

Ces serrures connues sont également équipées d'un interrupteur situé à l'intérieur du véhicule, et qui permet de commander la condamnation des commandes extérieures du véhicule pour empêcher l'agression des occupants. En général, les portes arrière des véhicu­les automobiles comportent de plus un dispositif dit "de sécurité enfants", permettant de rendre inopéran­tes également les commandes intérieures de ces portes.These known locks are also equipped with a switch located inside the vehicle, which makes it possible to control the locking of the exterior controls of the vehicle to prevent assault on the occupants. In general, the rear doors of motor vehicles also have a so-called "child safety" device, which also makes the interior controls for these doors inoperative.

Il convient de noter que dans les serrures connues, la décondamnation d'au moins une porte du vé­hicule depuis l'extérieur doit pouvoir être obtenue aisément afin de permettre de porter secours aux occu­pants en cas d'accident, et ce après bris d'une vitre et actionnement de la décondamnation. Or, cet impéra­tif rend également plus aisé le viol du système de condamnation.It should be noted that in known locks, the unlocking of at least one door of the vehicle from the outside must be able to be easily obtained in order to enable the occupants to be helped in the event of an accident, and this after breaking a window and unlocking actuation. This imperative also makes it easier to rape the conviction system.

On a donc imaginé des dispositifs perfec­tionnés dans lesquels la condamnation anti-agression est réalisée telle que ci-dessus par condamnation des commandes extérieures seulement, mais où la condam­nation anti-vol du véhicule rend inopérante, soit la commande de décondamnation intérieure, soit les com­mandes d'ouverture extérieures, soit les deux.We have therefore imagined improved devices in which the anti-aggression locking is carried out as above by locking the external controls only, but where the anti-theft locking of the vehicle renders inoperative either the interior unlocking control or the controls opening times, both.

On conçoit que dans ces dispositifs perfec­tionnés il existe un risque de panne majeure en cas de défaillance de la batterie d'alimentation, ou du dis­positif de contrôle électronique du système de com­mande électromécanique. Ce risque doit être d'autant plus être pris en considération que dans ces disposi­tifs, un soin tout particulier est apporté aux ser­rures elles-mêmes, pour empêcher leur crochetage.It is understood that in these improved devices there is a risk of major failure in the event of a failure of the supply battery, or of the electronic control device of the electromechanical control system. This risk must be taken into account all the more since in these devices, special care is given to the locks themselves, to prevent their picking.

Il a donc été proposé divers palliatifs, tels que par exemple un verrou mécanique de secours sur l'une des portes, une batterie de secours, etc... Mais outre le fait que ces palliatifs représentent un surcoût d'équipement, aucun d'entre eux n'a vraiment donné satisfaction.Various palliatives have therefore been proposed, such as for example a mechanical emergency lock on one of the doors, a backup battery, etc ... But besides the fact that these palliatives represent an additional cost of equipment, none of them has really given satisfaction .

L'invention a donc pour but de réaliser un ensemble de serrure et de dispositif de condamnation apportant une solution à ce problème, en cas de dé­faillance de la batterie d'alimentation.The object of the invention is therefore to produce a set of locks and locking devices providing a solution to this problem, in the event of a failure of the supply battery.

Conformément à l'invention, l'ensemble de serrure et du dispositif de condamnation de celle-ci est caractérisé en ce que :
    - les moyens de manoeuvre du cliquet com­prennent un levier relié à au moins un système de commande manuelle dudit levier pour permettre l'ac­tionnement du cliquet et le verrouillage de la ser­rure, et un électromécanisme capable de maintenir le levier de commande accouplé en rotation avec le cli­quet tant que cet électromécanisme n'est pas parcouru par un courant electrique, et de débrayer le levier par rapport au cliquet lorsqu'il est alimenté en cou­rant;
    - le dispositif de condamnation comprend un circuit électrique à commande centralisée, associé au système de commande manuelle du levier, et dans lequel sont placés au moins un interrupteur pouvant être fer­mé par une course d'approche dudit système de comman­de, ainsi que l'électromécanisme, lequel est pourvu de moyens de débrayage automatique du levier par rapport au cliquet, commandés après activation du circuit électrique de condamnation par une fermeture de l'in­terrupteur mettant l'électromécanisme sous tension, et des moyens pour provoquer automatiquement cette ferme­ture de l'interrupteur par une tentative manuelle de manoeuvre du système de commande du levier.
In accordance with the invention, the lock assembly and the locking device thereof is characterized in that:
the means for operating the pawl comprise a lever connected to at least one manual control system of said lever to allow actuation of the pawl and locking of the lock, and an electromechanism capable of keeping the control lever coupled in rotation with the pawl as long as this electromechanism is not traversed by an electric current, and disengage the lever relative to the pawl when it is supplied with current;
- the locking device comprises an electric circuit with centralized control, associated with the manual lever control system, and in which are placed at least one switch which can be closed by an approach stroke of said control system, as well as the electromechanical mechanism , which is provided with means for automatically disengaging the lever relative to the pawl, controlled after activation of the electric locking circuit by closing the switch putting the electromechanism under tension, and means for automatically causing this closing of the switch by a manual attempt to operation of the lever control system.

On comprend qu'en l'absence de courant dans l'électromécanisme, la serrure est prédisposée à l'ou­verture, soit de l'extérieur, soit de l'intérieur dans le cas d'une porte de véhicule équipée de deux systè­mes de commande manuelle d'ouverture.It is understood that in the absence of current in the electromechanism, the lock is predisposed for opening, either from the outside, or from the inside in the case of a vehicle door equipped with two control systems. manual opening.

Si, par l'intermédiaire du dispositif cen­tral de contrôle, l'interrupteur associé au système de commande d'ouverture extérieure est activé (interrup­teur anti-agression) par mise sous tension, et si la commande d'ouverture extérieure est sollicitée, cette sollicitation entraîne la fermeture automatique de l'interrupteur et par conséquent l'alimentation de l'électromécanisme, lequel débraye automatiquement le levier par rapport au cliquet, rendant ainsi inopé­rante la tentative de manoeuvre dudit cliquet. La ten­tative d'agression de l'occupant du véhicule par ou­verture des portes est donc déjouée, la serrure res­tant verrouillée.If, via the central control device, the switch associated with the exterior opening control system is activated (anti-aggression switch) by switching on, and if the exterior opening command is requested, this request causes the automatic closing of the switch and consequently the supply of the electromechanism, which automatically disengages the lever relative to the pawl, thus rendering the attempt to operate said pawl inoperative. The attempt to assault the occupant of the vehicle by opening the doors is therefore foiled, the lock remaining locked.

Dans un second mode d'utilisation possible de l'ensemble visé par l'invention, le second inter­rupteur, associé à la commande d'ouverture intérieure, fonctionne de la même manière quand il se trouve ac­tivé par mise sous tension manuelle d'un interrupteur anti-vol du dispositif central de contrôle.In a second possible mode of use of the assembly covered by the invention, the second switch, associated with the interior opening control, operates in the same way when it is activated by manual powering of a switch anti-theft of the central control device.

Suivant une forme de réalisation, l'ensemble visé par l'invention comprend deux systèmes de comman­de manuelle du levier, extérieur et intérieur par rap­port à la porte, munis chacun d'un coulisseau dans le­quel est ménagée une lumière allongée traversée par une extrémité du levier de commande du cliquet, et chaque extrémité des coulisseaux coopère avec un in­terrupteur respectif de commande extérieure et de commande intérieure, agencés de telle sorte qu'en position de repos des coulisseaux les interrupteurs soient ouverts et qu'aucun courant ne parcourt de ce fait l'électromécanisme qui maintient alors le levier de commande accouplé en rotation avec le cliquet, et que l'actionnement de l'un des coulisseaux provoque la fermeture de l'interrupteur correspondant et par con­séquent, si cet interrupteur est activé, le débrayage automatique par l'électromécanisme du levier de com­mande par rapport au cliquet, la serrure ne pouvant plus alors être ouverte.According to one embodiment, the assembly referred to by the invention comprises two systems for manual control of the lever, exterior and interior with respect to the door, each provided with a slide in which an elongated light is formed through which one end of the ratchet control lever, and each end of the slides cooperates with a respective switch for external control and internal control, arranged so that in slider rest position the switches are open and no current flows therefore the electromechanism which then keeps the control lever coupled in rotation with the ratchet, and that the actuation of one of the sliders causes closing of the corresponding switch and therefore, if this switch is activated, the automatic disengagement by the electromechanism of the control lever relative to the pawl, the lock can no longer be opened.

Suivant une autre particularité de l'inven­tion, le circuit électrique du dispositif de condamna­tion comprend, reliés à une source de courant continu: un premier interrupteur-inverseur anti-vol susceptible d'être fermé par un moyen de commande tel qu'une clé manuelle codée ou une télé-commande, un relais de condamnation anti-vol, un second interrupteur anti-­agression et un relais anti-agression, l'interrupteur de commande extérieure, l'électromécanisme, tous ces éléments étant reliés en série et l'électromécanisme étant connecté d'une part à l'interrupteur de commande extérieure et d'autre part avec le relais anti-agres­sion, lequel peut être alimenté en courant par l'in­termédiaire du relais anti-vol quand une bobine de ce dernier n'est pas alimentée et qu'on actionne l'in­terrupteur anti-agression.According to another particular feature of the invention, the electrical circuit of the locking device comprises, connected to a direct current source: a first anti-theft reversing switch capable of being closed by a control means such as a manual key coded or a remote control, an anti-theft locking relay, a second anti-aggression switch and an anti-aggression relay, the external control switch, the electromechanism, all these elements being connected in series and the electromechanism being connected on the one hand to the external control switch and on the other hand with the anti-aggression relay, which can be supplied with current via the anti-theft relay when a coil of the latter is not powered and the anti-aggression switch is activated.

Lorsque l'utilisateur du véhicule choisit la condamnation anti-agression, l'actionnement de l'in­terrupteur anti-agression provoque la condamnation des systèmes de commande d'ouverture extérieure des portes avant et arrière. Si l'utilisateur choisit la condam­nation anti-vol, la mise sous tension de l'interrup­teur de condamnation anti-vol provoque la condamnation des systèmes de commande d'ouverture intérieure et ex­ térieure, aussi bien des portes avant qu'arrière du véhicule.When the vehicle user chooses the anti-aggression lock, actuation of the anti-aggression switch causes the external opening control systems of the front and rear doors to be locked. If the user chooses the anti-theft lock, switching on the anti-theft lock switch causes the interior opening control systems and ex rear, both front and rear doors of the vehicle.

Le dispositif de condamnation et la serrure correspondante prévus par l'invention permettent l'ouverture des portes du vehicule en cas de panne totale de la batterie d'alimentation. En effet dans ce cas l'électromécanisme n'étant pas alimenté, ne peut dé-brayer le levier de commande du cliquet, et la serrure reste ainsi prédisposée à l'ouverture. Cependant, la probabilité d'une tentative de vol du véhicule dans un tel cas est extrêmement faible, car rien n'indique que ledit système est en état de panne totale.The locking device and the corresponding lock provided by the invention allow the doors of the vehicle to be opened in the event of a total failure of the supply battery. Indeed in this case the electromechanism is not powered, can not disengage the pawl control lever, and the lock thus remains predisposed to the opening. However, the probability of an attempt to steal the vehicle in such a case is extremely low, as there is no indication that the said system is in a state of total failure.

On voit aux Figures 1 et 2 une serrure 1 qui peut être utilisée sur une porte quelconque, en par­ticulier une porte de véhicule automobile, et plus spécialement une porte avant non representée. Elle se­ra décrite ci-après, pour la commodité de l'exposé, dans son utilisation sur une porte avant du véhicule.We see in Figures 1 and 2 a lock 1 which can be used on any door, in particular a motor vehicle door, and more particularly a front door not shown. It will be described below, for the convenience of the disclosure, in its use on a front door of the vehicle.

Cette serrure 1 comporte une gâche 2 fixée sur un encadrement de la porte, une fourchette 3 ar­ticulée autour d'un axe 4 sur un boîtier 5 de la ser­rure, dans lequel est ménagée une ouverture 6 de ré­ception de la gâche 2. La fourchette 3 est pourvue de deux branches 7, 8 de retenue de la gâche 2 entre el­les, comme représenté sur la Figure 1 où la serrure est verrouillée.This lock 1 comprises a keeper 2 fixed on a frame of the door, a fork 3 articulated around an axis 4 on a housing 5 of the lock, in which is formed an opening 6 for receiving the keeper 2. The fork 3 is provided with two arms 7, 8 for retaining the keeper 2 between them, as shown in Figure 1 where the lock is locked.

Chaque branche 7, 8 est munie d'un bec ter­minale 7a, 8a et, lorsque la serrure est verrouillée, le bec 7a coopère avec le bec correspondant 9a d'un cliquet 9 de verrouillage articulé autour d'un axe 11 sur le boîtier 5. La fourchette 3 est maintenue ver­rouillée sur la gâche 2 par le cliquet 9 tant que ce­lui-ci est dans cette position.Each branch 7, 8 is provided with an end spout 7a, 8a and, when the lock is locked, the spout 7a cooperates with the corresponding spout 9a with a locking pawl 9 articulated around an axis 11 on the housing 5 The fork 3 is kept locked on the keeper 2 by the pawl 9 as long as the latter is in this position.

Ce dispositif de serrure comprend également des moyens de manoeuvre du cliquet 9, qui comportent un levier 12 relié à deux systèmes de commande manuelle 13, 14 dudit levier 12, respectivement pour la commande extérieure et pour la commande intérieure de la porte. Chaque commande d'ouverture 13, 14 est pourvue d'une tringle 16, 17 associée, par l'intermé­diaire d'organes non représentés, aux poignées exté­rieure et intérieure d'ouverture de la porte, et un coulisseau 18, 19 dont une extrémité est fixée à une extrémité correspondante de la tringle 16, 17.This lock device also comprises means for operating the pawl 9, which comprise a lever 12 connected to two manual control systems 13, 14 of said lever 12, respectively for the external control and for the internal control Door. Each opening control 13, 14 is provided with a rod 16, 17 associated, by means of members not shown, with the exterior and interior handles for opening the door, and a slide 18, 19, one end of which is fixed to a corresponding end of the rod 16, 17.

Une lumière allongée 21, 22 est formée dans l'extrémité du coulisseau 18, 19 opposée à la tringle 16, 17. Dans ces deux lumières 21, 22 est engagée une extrémité 12a du levier 12, et, dans sa position de repos (Figure 1), chaque extrémité du coulisseau 18, 19 contiguë à la partie terminale 12a du levier 12 est en contact avec une patte élastique 23, 24 d'un interrupteur respectif 25, 26 comportant un plot fixe 27, 28 de contact avec un plot correspondant 29, 31 des pattes élastiques 23, 24.An elongated opening 21, 22 is formed in the end of the slide 18, 19 opposite the rod 16, 17. In these two openings 21, 22 is engaged one end 12a of the lever 12, and, in its rest position (Figure 1), each end of the slide 18, 19 contiguous to the end portion 12a of the lever 12 is in contact with an elastic tab 23, 24 of a respective switch 25, 26 comprising a fixed stud 27, 28 of contact with a corresponding stud 29, 31 of the elastic tabs 23, 24.

Chaque interrupteur 25, 26 fait partie d'un circuit électrique central de contrôle de condamnation anti-vol et anti-agression, représenté aux Figures 7 et 8 et qui sera décrit ci-après.Each switch 25, 26 is part of a central electrical circuit for controlling theft and burglary detection, shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 and which will be described below.

Les coulisseaux 18, 19 traversent le boîtier 5 ainsi que des ressorts hélicoïdaux respectifs 10, 20 qui prennent appui sur le boîtier 5 pour les rappeler dans une position de repos visible à la Figure 1, dans laquelle ils maintiennent ouverts les interrupteurs 25, 26.The sliders 18, 19 pass through the housing 5 as well as respective coil springs 10, 20 which bear on the housing 5 to return them to a rest position visible in FIG. 1, in which they keep the switches 25, 26 open.

Le levier 12 est articulé sur le boîtier 5 autour du même axe 11 que le cliquet 9. L'électromé­canisme 15 comporte une bobine 32, reliée au circuit électrique central par des connexions 32a, 32b, et dans laquelle peut coulisser axialement une goupille 33. Le levier 12 et le cliquet 9 sont percés, en regard de l'axe de la bobine 15 et de la goupille 13, et au droit l'un de l'autre, de deux ouvertures 34, 35 dans lesquelles la goupille 33 est maintenue engagée par un ressort 36 de rappel intérieur à la bobine 32 et prenant appui sur un chapeau 37 coiffant un support 38 de la bobine 32.The lever 12 is articulated on the housing 5 around the same axis 11 as the pawl 9. The electromechanism 15 comprises a coil 32, connected to the central electrical circuit by connections 32a, 32b, and in which a pin 33 can slide axially. The lever 12 and the pawl 9 are pierced, opposite the axis of the coil 15 and of the pin 13, and in line with one another, two openings 34, 35 in which the pin 33 is kept engaged by a return spring 36 inside the coil 32 and bearing on a cap 37 covering a support 38 of the coil 32.

Lorsque la bobine 32 n'est pas alimentée, le ressort 36 maintient la goupille 33 dans les ouvertu­res 34, 35 et par conséquent le levier 12 accouplé en rotation avec le cliquet 9 autour de l'axe 11. Par contre, si la bobine 32 est mise sous tension consé­cutivement à la fermeture de l'un des interrupteurs 25, 26 (comme cela sera expliqué en détail en réfé­rence à la Figure 7), cette mise sous tension provoque le retrait de la goupille 33 à l'intérieur de la bo­bine 32 et donc le débrayage du levier 12 par rapport au cliquet 9.When the coil 32 is not supplied, the spring 36 maintains the pin 33 in the openings 34, 35 and consequently the lever 12 coupled in rotation with the pawl 9 around the axis 11. On the other hand, if the coil 32 is energized following the closing of one of the switches 25, 26 (as will be explained in detail with reference to Figure 7), this energization causes the withdrawal of the pin 33 inside the coil 32 and therefore the disengagement of the lever 12 relative to the pawl 9.

Afin de clarifier le fonctionnement de l'en­semble serrure et dispositif de condamnation visé par l'invention, on décrira tout d'abord le fonctionnement du dispositif représenté aux Figures 1 et 2, puis ul­térieurement le fonctionnement du circuit électrique correspondant de condamnation des Figures 7 et 8.In order to clarify the operation of the lock and locking device assembly targeted by the invention, we will first describe the operation of the device shown in Figures 1 and 2, then later the operation of the corresponding electrical locking circuit of Figures 7 and 8.

Fonctionnement de la serrure et des éléments de condamnation des Figures 1 et 2Operation of the lock and the locking elements of Figures 1 and 2

La serrure 1 étant verrouillée par le cli­quet 9, les coulisseaux 18, 19 et les interrupteurs 25, 26 sont dans la position de repos représentée, dans laquelle aucune des commandes extérieure et in­térieure de la porte n'est actionnée.The lock 1 being locked by the pawl 9, the slides 18, 19 and the switches 25, 26 are in the rest position shown, in which none of the exterior and interior controls of the door is actuated.

Si l'utilisateur appuie sur un bouton de fermeture de l'interrupteur anti-agression du dispo­sitif central de condamnation, l'interrupteur 25 est activé par mise sous tension. Si ensuite une personne tente d'ouvrir la porte en actionnant la commande ex­térieure associée à la tringle 16 et au coulisseau 18, ce dernier est entraîné dans la direction de la flèche F par la tringle 16, contre la force de rappel du ressort 10. Ce déplacement du coulisseau 18 provoque donc la fermeture du contact 25 dont le plot 29 vient s'appliquer sur le plot 27, et corrélativement l'alimentation de la bobine 32, par la source de courant continu à laquelle est relié le circuit électrique de condamnation. La goupille 33 est alors automatiquement escamotée des ouvertures 34, 35 et le levier 12 est débrayé du cliquet 9. Le coulisseau 18 poursuivant sa course, entraîne ensuite en rotation autour de l'axe 11 le levier 12, lequel ne peut plus entraîner le cliquet 9, de sorte que la serrure 1 reste verrouillée et que la tentative d'agression est déjouée.If the user presses a button for closing the anti-aggression switch of the central locking device, the switch 25 is activated by switching on. If a person then tries to open the door by actuating the external control associated with the rod 16 and the slide 18, the latter is driven in the direction of the arrow F by the rod 16, against the return force of the spring 10. This movement of the slider 18 therefore causes the contact 25 to close, the stud 29 of which is applied to the stud 27, and correspondingly the supply of the coil 32, by the direct current source to which the electric locking circuit is connected. The pin 33 is then automatically retracted from the openings 34, 35 and the lever 12 is disengaged from the pawl 9. The slide 18 continuing its travel, then rotates about the axis 11 the lever 12, which can no longer drive the pawl 9, so that the lock 1 remains locked and that the assault attempt is thwarted.

Lorsque l'actionnement de la commande exté­rieure de la porte cesse, le ressort 10 ramène automa­tiquement le coulisseau 18 à sa position initiale, et provoque de ce fait l'ouverture de l'interrupteur 25. La bobine 32 n'étant plus alimentée, le ressort 36 rappelle la goupille 33 dans les ouvertures 34, 35 et réaccouple en rotation le cliquet 9 avec le levier 12.When the actuation of the external control of the door ceases, the spring 10 automatically returns the slider 18 to its initial position, and therefore causes the opening of the switch 25. Since the coil 32 is no longer supplied, the spring 36 recalls the pin 33 in the openings 34, 35 and re-couples the pawl 9 in rotation with the lever 12.

Si l'utilisateur choisit le mode d'utilisa­tion "anti-vol" du dispositif central de condamnation, une tentative d'ouverture de la porte par l'une ou l'autre des commandes extérieure et intérieure, donc une traction sur l'une ou l'autre des tringles 16 et 17, provoque la même séquence que celle décrite ci-­dessus, le coulisseau 19 étant ramené à sa position initiale par son ressort de rappel 20.If the user chooses the "anti-theft" mode of use of the central locking device, an attempt to open the door by one or other of the exterior and interior controls, therefore pulling on one or the other of the rods 16 and 17, causes the same sequence as that described above, the slider 19 being returned to its initial position by its return spring 20.

Second mode de réalisation de la serrure (Figures 3 à 5).Second embodiment of the lock (Figures 3 to 5).

Dans cette réalisation, le levier 39 de commande du cliquet 9 présente deux branches 41, 42 sensiblement en L, et est articulé à la jonction de ces branches sur un axe 43 du boîtier 5. Une extrémité 41a de la branche 41 est engagée dans les lumières 21, 22 des coulisseaux 18, 19, tandis que la seconde bran­che 42 est articulée rotativement à son extrémité, au­tour d'un axe 44, sur la première 45 de deux biellet­tes 45, 46. La seconde biellette 46 est articulée sur le cliquet 9 autour d'un axe 47, à son extrémité op­posée à l'axe 44. Les deux biellettes 45, 46 sont en outre articulées l'une sur l'autre autour d'un axe 48. La partie des extrémités des biellettes 45, 46 voisine de l'axe 48 et tournée vers l'électromécanisme 51 pré­sente un arrondi 30 destiné à permettre l'articulation des biellettes 45, 46. On remarque que chaque biel­lette 45, 46 est munie, à son extrémité voisine de l'axe 48, opposée à l'électromécanisme 51, d'une ex­croissance terminale 55, 56, ces deux excroissances étant en butée mutuelle lorsque les biellettes 45, 46 sont dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre. Les biel­lettes sont maintenues dans cette position par l'ai­mant 54, qui est en effet attiré par le noyau magné­tique 53. Les biellettes 45 et 46 constituent ainsi une genouillère susceptible de s'ouvrir à l'articu­lation des deux biellettes 45, 46 autour de l'axe 48.In this embodiment, the lever 39 for controlling the pawl 9 has two branches 41, 42 substantially in L, and is articulated at the junction of these branches on an axis 43 of the housing 5. One end 41a of the branch 41 is engaged in the slots 21, 22 of the slides 18, 19, while the second branch 42 is articulated rotatably at its end, around an axis 44, on the first 45 of two links 45, 46. The second link 46 is articulated on the pawl 9 around an axis 47, at its end opposite the axis 44. The two links 45, 46 are also articulated one on the other around an axis 48. The part of the ends of the links 45, 46 adjacent to the axis 48 and facing the electromechanical mechanism 51 has a rounded 30 intended to allow the articulation of the links 45, 46. It is noted that each link 45, 46 is provided, at its end close to the axis 48, opposite to the electromechanism 51, with a terminal protrusion 55, 56, these two protrusions being in mutual abutment when the links 45, 46 are in the extension of one another. The links are held in this position by the magnet 54, which is in fact attracted by the magnetic core 53. The links 45 and 46 thus constitute a toggle capable of opening at the articulation of the two links 45, 46 around axis 48.

L'électromécanisme 51 (Figure 4) comprend une bobine 52 contenant un noyau magnétique 53, et un aimant 54 fixé sur l'une des biellettes 45, 46, à sa­voir la biellette 45 dans cet exemple, au droit du no­yau 53 et à faible distance de celui-ci.The electromechanical mechanism 51 (FIG. 4) comprises a coil 52 containing a magnetic core 53, and a magnet 54 fixed to one of the links 45, 46, namely the link 45 in this example, in line with the core 53 and at low distance from it.

Le fonctionnement de ce mécanisme à genouil­lère 45, 46 est le suivant :The operation of this toggle mechanism 45, 46 is as follows:

Au repos, aucune des commandes d'ouverture de la porte n'étant actionnée, le dispositif est dans la condition représentée aux Figures 3 et 4 : les deux biellettes 45, 46 sont dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre de part et d'autre de leur axe 48 d'articula­tion, du fait que la bobine 52 n'est pas alimentée et que l'aimant 54 est attiré par le noyau 53.At rest, none of the door opening commands being actuated, the device is in the condition shown in Figures 3 and 4: both rods 45, 46 are in the extension of one another on either side of their axis 48 of articulation, owing to the fact that the coil 52 is not supplied and that the magnet 54 is attracted by the core 53.

Si maintenant, après activation du disposi­tif de condamnation anti-agression ou anti-vol, une tentative d'ouverture de l'une des commandes de la porte se produit, l'interrupteur 25 ou 26 associé à cette commande se ferme, la bobine 52 est mise sous tension, et l'aimant 54, repoussé par le noyau 53, exerce sur la biellette 45 une poussée P. Cette pous­sée fait basculer la biellette 45 autour de son ar­ticulation 44 et entraîne l'axe 48, autour duquel les deux biellettes 45, 46 basculent, la biellette 46 tournant de plus autour de son articulation 47 sur le cliquet 9. Au terme de ce basculement, les biellettes 45, 46 viennent occuper une position en V symbolisée par les droites 45a, 46a, de sorte que la liaison de commande (Figure 3) entre le bras 42 et le cliquet 9 est rompue (Figure 4). De ce fait, le basculement du levier 39, entraîné par le déplacement du coulisseau 18 ou 19, reste sans effet sur le cliquet 9, qui de­meure en position de verrouillage de la fourchette 3, et la serrure ne peut être ouverte.If now, after activation of the anti-aggression or anti-theft locking device, an attempt to open one of the door controls occurs, the switch 25 or 26 associated with this control closes, the coil 52 is energized, and the magnet 54, pushed back by the core 53, exerts on the link 45 a thrust P. This thrust causes the link 45 to tilt around its articulation 44 and drives the axis 48, around which the two links 45, 46 tilt, the link 46 rotating more around its articulation 47 on the pawl 9. At the end of this tilting, the links 45, 46 come to occupy a V-shaped position symbolized by the lines 45a, 46a, so that the control link (Figure 3) between the arm 42 and the pawl 9 is broken (Figure 4). Therefore, the tilting of the lever 39, driven by the movement of the slide 18 or 19, has no effect on the pawl 9, which remains in the locking position of the fork 3, and the lock can not be opened.

Si maintenant en raison d'une panne de bat­terie, le circuit électrique de condamnation n'est plus alimenté après que la serrure ait été verrouillée et condamnée, soit en anti-vol soit en anti-agression, aucun courant ne passe dans la bobine 52 lorsqu'on actionne la commande extérieure ou la commande inté­rieure d'ouverture de porte. De ce fait, la genouil­lère 45, 46 reste dans sa position de la Figure 3, dans laquelle les biellettes 45, 46, situées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, peuvent transmettre au cliquet 9 la rotation du levier de commande 39. Cela permet le déverrouillage de la fourchette 3, donc l'ouverture de la serrure et de la porte.If now due to a battery failure, the electric locking circuit is no longer supplied after the lock has been locked and locked, either in anti-theft or anti-attack mode, no current flows through the coil 52 when the exterior control or interior door opening control is operated. Therefore, the toggle 45, 46 remains in its position of Figure 3, in which the rods 45, 46, located in the extension of one another, can transmit to the pawl 9 the rotation of the control lever 39. This allows the fork 3 to be unlocked, therefore the opening of the lock and of the door.

Ainsi, dans les deux modes de réalisation de la serrure et de ses moyens de manoeuvre décrits en référence aux Figures 1 à 5, une panne complète de la batterie du véhicule, survenant après condamnation anti-vol ou anti-agression des portes, permet néan­moins à l'utilisateur d'ouvrir les portes du véhicule. Ce résultat constitue donc un avantage essentiel de l'invention par rapport aux réalistions connues, en garantissant à l'utilisateur du véhicule la possibili­té d'entrer dans celui-ci après condamnation des portes et en cas de panne complète de la batterie.Thus, in the two embodiments of the lock and of its maneuvering means described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, a complete breakdown of the vehicle battery, occurring after anti-theft or anti-aggression of the doors, nevertheless allows the user to open the vehicle doors. This result therefore constitutes an essential advantage of the invention over known embodiments, by guaranteeing to the user of the vehicle the possibility of entering it after locking the doors and in the event of complete failure of the battery.

Description du circuit électrique de condamnation (Figures 6 et 7)Description of the electrical locking circuit (Figures 6 and 7)

Le circuit de la Figure 6 assure la condam­nation anti-vol ou anti-agression d'une porte de vé­hicule, de préférence une porte avant, tandis que le circuit complémentaire de la Figure 8 assure, outre la condamnation anti-vol ou anti-agression, une condamna­tion "sécurité enfants" et est donc particulièrement adapté à une porte arrière de véhicule.The circuit of Figure 6 ensures the anti-theft or anti-aggression locking of a vehicle door, preferably a front door, while the complementary circuit of Figure 8 ensures, in addition to the anti-theft or anti-aggression locking , a "child safety" conviction and is therefore particularly suitable for a vehicle rear door.

Le circuit de la Figure 6 comprend, reliés à une source de courant continu S, par exemple une bat­terie de véhicule de 12 Volts, un premier interrupteur inverseur anti-vol I1, un relais R1 de condamnation anti-vol, un second interrupteur-inverseur I2 anti-­agression associé à un bouton de commande intérieur à l'habitacle du véhicule, et un relais anti-agression R2, l'interrupteur associé à la commande d'ouverture extérieure 25, l'interrupteur associé à la commande d'ouverture intérieure 26 et la bobine 32 (ou 52) de l'électromécanisme. L'interrupteur-inverseur I1 peut être manoeuvré par un moyen de commande tel qu'une clé manuelle codée 57 ou une télé-commande 58 à infra­rouge ou ondes hertziennes.The circuit of FIG. 6 comprises, connected to a direct current source S, for example a 12 Volt vehicle battery, a first anti-theft reversing switch I1, a relay R1 for anti-theft locking, a second reversing switch I2 anti-aggression associated with a control button inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and an anti-aggression relay R2, the switch associated with the exterior opening control 25, the switch associated with the interior opening control 26 and the coil 32 (or 52) of the electromechanical mechanism. The change-over switch I1 can be operated by a control means such as a coded manual key 57 or a remote control 58 with infrared or radio waves.

L'interrupteur 26 est relié, en parallèle avec l'interrupteur 25, d'une part à la bobine 32 (52), d'autre part au relais anti-vol R1, les autres éléments précités étant reliés en série. Dans sa posi­tion 1 de repos, le contact mobile C1 de l'interrup­teur-inverseur I1 est relié à la masse, et dans sa position active 2, il met en liaison la bobine B1 du relais R1 avec la source de courant S. Le relais R1 comporte, outre la bobine B1, un contact mobile C2 pouvant occuper soit une position de repos 1, soit une position active 2 lorsque la bobine B1 est alimentée. Le plot 1 de la position de repos de C2 est relié par une connexion 59 au plot 2 de l'interrupteur I2 correspondant à la position active du contact C3 de celui-ci, sa position de repos 1 étant relié à la mas­se.The switch 26 is connected, in parallel with the switch 25, on the one hand to the coil 32 (52), on the other hand to the anti-theft relay R1, the other aforementioned elements being connected in series. In its rest position 1, the movable contact C1 of the change-over switch I1 is connected to ground, and in its active position 2, it connects the coil B1 of the relay R1 with the current source S. The relay R1 comprises, in addition to the coil B1, a movable contact C2 which can occupy either a rest position 1 or an active position 2 when the coil B1 is supplied. The pad 1 of the rest position of C2 is connected by a connection 59 to the pad 2 of the switch I2 corresponding to the active position of the contact C3 of the latter, its rest position 1 being connected to ground.

Le plot 2 correspondant à la position active du contact C2 est relié par une connexion 61 à l'in­terrupteur 26, et des résistances d'auto-alimentation du relais R1 assurent la liaison entre, d'une part la bobine B1 et la connexion 61, et d'autre part la bobi­ne B1 et le contact mobile C1.The pad 2 corresponding to the active position of the contact C2 is connected by a connection 61 to the switch 26, and self-supply resistors of the relay R1 provide the connection between, on the one hand the coil B1 and the connection 61 , and on the other hand the coil B1 and the movable contact C1.

Le plot 2 du relais anti-agression R2 cor­respondant à la position active de son contact mobile C4 est relié par une connexion 63 à l'interrupteur 25. Deux résistances d'auto-alimentation du relais R2 éta­blissent une liaison, d'une part entre la bobine B2 du relais R2 et la connexion 63, et d'autre part entre la bobine B2 et le contact C3 de l'interrupteur I2.The block 2 of the anti-aggression relay R2 corresponding to the active position of its movable contact C4 is connected by a connection 63 to the switch 25. Two self-supply resistors of the relay R2 establish a connection, on the one hand between the coil B2 of the relay R2 and the connection 63, and on the other hand between the coil B2 and the contact C3 of the switch I2.

Une diode D1 placée sur la connexion 63 laisse passer le courant de R2 vers l'interrupteur 25, et une seconde diode D2 assure une liaison entre la connexion 61 et un point 64 situé entre la diode D1 et l'interrupteur 25 en s'opposant au passage du courant du point 64 vers la connexion 61. La bobine 32 (52), est reliée en série avec la bobine B2 par une conne­xion 65 sur laquelle sont placés un interrupteur 66 de sécurité "porte ouverte" et une diode D3.A diode D1 placed on the connection 63 lets the current from R2 pass to the switch 25, and a second diode D2 provides a connection between the connection 61 and a point 64 located between the diode D1 and the switch 25 by opposing the passage of current from point 64 to the connection 61. The coil 32 (52), is connected in series with the coil B2 by a connection 65 on which are placed a "door open" safety switch 66 and a diode D3.

L'interrupteur 66, associé à la fourchette 3 de façon connue en soi, est ouvert quand la porte est fermée, c'est-à-dire dans la position des Figures 1 et 3, et fermé quand la porte est ouverte. La diode D3 permet de court-circuiter la bobine B2 via l'interrup­teur 66 lorsqu'il est fermé.The switch 66, associated with the fork 3 in a manner known per se, is open when the door is closed, that is to say in the position of Figures 1 and 3, and closed when the door is open. The diode D3 makes it possible to short-circuit the coil B2 via the switch 66 when it is closed.

Une connexion 67 relie le relais R1 et la connexion 61 à l'interrupteur 26.1 associé à la com­mande d'ouverture intérieure de la porte arrière (Figure 7), cet interrupteur et un interrupteur 25.1 associé à la commande extérieure de la porte arrière étant reliés en parallèle avec une bobine 32.1 (ou 52.1) mise à la masse. Une diode D4 est placée sur la connexion 62 entre l'interrupteur 25.1 et le relais R2, de manière à n'autoriser le passage du courant que de R2 vers l'interrupteur 25.1. Une diode D6 est placée sur la connexion 67 entre l'interrupteur 26.1 et le relais R1 de manière à autoriser le passage du courant de ce dernier vers l'interrupteur 26.1, et une diode D5 relie un point 69 de la connexion 67, situé en amont de la diode D6, à un point 71 de la connexion 62 situé entre la diode D4 et l'interrupteur 25.1. Les interrupteurs 25.1 et 26.1 sont reliés en parallèle à une bobine 32.1 ou 52.1 comme sur la Figure 6.A connection 67 connects the relay R1 and the connection 61 to the switch 26.1 associated with the interior opening control of the rear door (Figure 7), this switch and a switch 25.1 associated with the exterior control of the rear door being connected in parallel with a grounded 32.1 (or 52.1) coil. A diode D4 is placed on the connection 62 between the switch 25.1 and the relay R2, so as to allow the passage of current only from R2 to the switch 25.1. A diode D6 is placed on the connection 67 between the switch 26.1 and the relay R1 so as to allow the passage of current from the latter to the switch 26.1, and a diode D5 connects a point 69 of the connection 67, located at upstream of the diode D6, at a point 71 of the connection 62 located between the diode D4 and the switch 25.1. The switches 25.1 and 26.1 are connected in parallel to a coil 32.1 or 52.1 as in Figure 6.

Le fonctionnement du circuit électrique de condamnation de la Figure 6 est le suivant.The operation of the electrical locking circuit of Figure 6 is as follows.

a) Condamnation "Anti-agression"a) Conviction "Anti-aggression"

Le but est de condamner uniquement la com­mande d'ouverture extérieure de la porte (coulisseau 18, Figures 1 et 3). L'utilisateur appuie sur le bou­ton interne d'anti-agression, qui place le contact C3 dans sa position active 2. Le relais anti-vol R1 ayant son contact C2 en position 1, est donc parcouru par le courant continu de la source S, qui alimente la bobine B2. Le contact C4 bascule de ce fait en position 2 ac­tive.The goal is to condemn only the external door opening control (slide 18, Figures 1 and 3). The user presses the internal anti-aggression button, which places the contact C3 in its active position 2. The anti-theft relay R1 having its contact C2 in position 1, is therefore traversed by the direct current from the source S , which supplies the coil B2. Contact C4 therefore switches to position 2 active.

L'interrupteur de sécurité 66 est ouvert lorsque la porte est fermée.The safety switch 66 is open when the door is closed.

Si dans ces conditions un agresseur tente d'ouvrir la porte de l'extérieur, cette tentative pro­voque, comme expliqué en référence aux Figures 1 à 5, la fermeture du contact 25, donc l'alimentation de la bobine 32(52) et le débrayage automatique du levier de commande 12 ou 41 par rapport au cliquet 9, empêchant l'ouverture de la porte.If under these conditions an attacker tries to open the door from the outside, this attempt causes, as explained with reference to Figures 1 to 5, the closing of the contact 25, therefore the supply of the coil 32 (52) and the automatic disengagement of the control lever 12 or 41 relative to the pawl 9, preventing the door from opening.

b) Condamnation anti-volb) Anti-theft conviction

Le circuit étant dans sa position initiale de la Figure 6, l'utilisateur commande le basculement de l'interrupteur C1 de sa position inactive 1 dans sa position active 2, et ce au moyen de la clé codée 57 ou de la télécommande 58. La bobine B1 étant alimen­tée, fait basculer le contact mobile C2 dans sa posi­tion active 2. L'interrupteur 26 peut donc être ali­menté, de même que l'interrupteur 25 par la diode D2, la diode D1 interdisant le passage du courant vers le relais R2.The circuit being in its initial position in FIG. 6, the user controls the switching of the switch C1 from its inactive position 1 to its active position 2, by means of the coded key 57 or the remote control 58. The coil B1 being supplied, switches movable contact C2 to its active position 2. Switch 26 can therefore be supplied, as well as switch 25 by diode D2, diode D1 preventing the passage of current to relay R2 .

Si une tentative d'ouverture non autorisée de la porte se produit alors, soit de l'extérieur, soit de l'intérieur, l'interrupteur correspondant 25, 26 se ferme et la mise sous tension de la bobine 32 (52) provoque, comme déjà expliqué, le débrayage au­ tomatique du levier de commande 12, 41 par rapport au cliquet 9.If an unauthorized attempt to open the door then occurs, either from the outside or from the inside, the corresponding switch 25, 26 closes and energizing of the coil 32 (52) causes, as already explained, the clutch at control lever 12, 41 relative to pawl 9.

En variante, les deux interrupteurs 25, 26 peuvent être reliés à une lampe témoin (50) (diode électroluminescente) par l'intermédiaire de deux dio­des D7, D8, la lampe 50 étant allumée lorsque l'un des contacts 25, 26 est activé.As a variant, the two switches 25, 26 can be connected to a control lamp (50) (light-emitting diode) by means of two diodes D7, D8, the lamp 50 being lit when one of the contacts 25, 26 is activated .

c) Sécurité pour empêcher une condamnation anti-agression intempestivec) Security to prevent an untimely assault conviction

Si l'utilisateur quitte sa voiture en ou­bliant ses clés à l'intérieur de celle-ci ainsi que de fermer une porte, une condamnation anti-agression des portes l'empêcherait de pénétrer à l'intérieur de sa voiture après une fermeture intempestive de la porte restée ouverte.If the user leaves his car by forgetting his keys inside it as well as closing a door, an anti-aggression conviction of the doors would prevent him from entering the interior of his car after an untimely closing of the door remained open.

Afin de prévenir ce risque, une diode D3 est placée entre la bobine B2 du relais R2 et l'interrup­teur de sécurité 66, cette diode D3 autorisant le pas­sage du courant de B2 vers l'interrupteur 66.In order to prevent this risk, a diode D3 is placed between the coil B2 of the relay R2 and the safety switch 66, this diode D3 authorizing the passage of the current from B2 to the switch 66.

Ainsi, si la porte avant commandée par ce circuit reste ouverte, l'interrupteur 66 est de ce fait fermé, et met à la masse la bobine B2 du relais R2 via la diode D3. Si l'interrupteur-inverseur I2 est alors placé en position 2 active par actionnement du bouton correspondant, aucun courant ne passe dans la bobine B2, de sorte que l'interrupteur C4 ne peut venir en position 2 active et que l'interrupteur de commande extérieure 25 ne peut être alimenté.Thus, if the front door controlled by this circuit remains open, the switch 66 is therefore closed, and earths the coil B2 of the relay R2 via the diode D3. If the change-over switch I2 is then placed in active position 2 by actuation of the corresponding button, no current flows through the coil B2, so that the switch C4 cannot come into active position 2 and that the control switch 25 can not be powered.

Fonctionnement du circuit de condamnation de la Figure 7 (porte arrière)Operation of the locking circuit in Figure 7 (rear door)

Ce circuit est muni d'une connexion 70, ali­mentée par la source S, et équipée d'un interrupteur de sécurité "enfants" 60 et reliée à l'interrupteur 26.1 de commande intérieure en un point situé entre ce dernier et la diode D6. Lorsque l'interrupteur de sécurité 60 est fermé, l'interrupeur 26.1 de commande intérieure est alimenté, mais non l'interrupteur de commande extérieure 25.1, en raison de l'interposition de la diode D6, qui s'oppose au passage du courant vers la diode D5. Une tentative d'ouverture de la porte arrière par sa commande intérieure par un enfant entraîne donc la fermeture de l'interrupteur 26.1 et le débrayage automatique du levier de commande 12 ou 41 par rapport au cliquet 9, comme précédemment dé­crit.This circuit is provided with a connection 70, supplied by the source S, and equipped with a "children" safety switch 60 and connected to the switch 26.1 for internal control at a point situated between this last and diode D6. When the safety switch 60 is closed, the internal control switch 26.1 is supplied, but not the external control switch 25.1, due to the interposition of the diode D6, which prevents the flow of current to diode D5. An attempt to open the rear door by its interior control by a child therefore causes the closing of the switch 26.1 and the automatic disengagement of the control lever 12 or 41 relative to the pawl 9, as previously described.

Le tableau ci-dessous récapitule les trois modes de condamnation possibles décrits ci-dessus pour les portes avant et arrière d'un véhicule.

Figure imgb0001
The table below summarizes the three possible locking methods described above for the front and rear doors of a vehicle.
Figure imgb0001

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites et peut comporter des variantes d'exécution. Le circuit électrique de condamnation des Figures 6 et 7 peut notamment être modifié par rem­placement des moyens décrits par tout moyen équiva­lent, remplissant les mêmes fonctions de condamnation. Les relais R1 et R2 peuvent être gérés, soit par au­to-alimentation par les résistances représentées, soit par une mémoire électronique, de façon connue en soi.The invention is not limited to the embodiments described and may include alternative embodiments. The electrical locking circuit of Figures 6 and 7 can in particular be modified by replacing the means described by any equivalent means, fulfilling the same locking functions. Relays R1 and R2 can be managed either by self-supply by the resistors shown, or by an electronic memory, in a manner known per se.

On appréciera en outre que le boîtier 5 peut inclure les mécanismes de la fourchette 3, du cliquet 9, du levier 12, 39, des coulisseaux 18, 19 et des interrupteurs 25, 26, de façon à rendre l'ensemble incrochetable mécaniquement et électriquement.It will further be appreciated that the housing 5 can include the mechanisms of the fork 3, of the pawl 9, of the lever 12, 39, of the slides 18, 19 and of the switches 25, 26, so as to make the assembly hookable mechanically and electrically.

De plus, une alarme peut être associée au circuit électrique de commande.In addition, an alarm can be associated with the electrical control circuit.

L'invention est applicable non seulement aux portes de véhicules, mais aussi plus généralement à tout ouvrant associé à une serrure ou à une fermeture dont la structure est du type de celle décrite ci-des­sus. C'est le cas pour nombre de serrures de coffres, capots, boîtes à gants, toits ouvrants de véhicules dans lesquelles le droit à l'ouverture s'obtient par la manoeuvre d'un levier de déverrouillage que l'on peut interdire par les moyens prévus par l'invention.The invention is applicable not only to vehicle doors, but also more generally to any opening associated with a lock or with a closure whose structure is of the type described above. This is the case for a number of locks for safes, hoods, glove boxes, sunroofs of vehicles in which the right to open is obtained by the operation of an unlocking lever which can be prohibited by means provided by the invention.
