Description

La présente invention concerne un nouveau dispositif de verrouillage du type à crémone utilisable pour la ferme­ture de portes battantes de véhicules, conteneurs, ou objets analogues.The present invention relates to a new locking device of the cremone bolt type usable for closing swing doors of vehicles, containers, or similar objects.

L'invention crée un nouveau dispositif dont les moyens de manoeuvre sont disposés en dessous de la ou des portes devant être manoeuvrées, ce qui, d'une part, en facilite l'accès et, d'autre part, rend possible de les protéger.The invention creates a new device, the operating means of which are arranged below the door or doors to be operated, which, on the one hand, facilitates access and, on the other hand, makes it possible to protect them. .

La réalisation selon l'invention est, en outre, grande­ment simplifiée par rapport à celle nécessitant des poignées saillant de la ou des portes devant être manoeu­vrées.The embodiment according to the invention is, in addition, greatly simplified compared to that requiring protruding handles of the door or doors to be operated.

Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif de verrouillage à crémone pour véhicules, conteneurs et objets analogues dans lequel une barre de torsion portée par une porte est munie à ses extrémités de pênes coopérant avec des gâches fixes est caractérisé en ce que la barre de torsion est disposée dans l'épaisseur de la porte et en ce que les pênes inférieur et supérieur correspondant aux gâches sont disposés en dessous respectivement au-dessus de la porte du véhicule et en ce que le pêne inférieur est relié à un levier de manoeuvre disposé sous la porte.According to the invention, the cremone bolt locking device for vehicles, containers and the like in which a torsion bar carried by a door is provided at its ends with bolts cooperating with fixed keepers is characterized in that the torsion bar is arranged in the thickness of the door and in that the lower and upper bolts corresponding to the strikes are arranged respectively below above the vehicle door and in that the lower bolt is connected to an operating lever disposed under the door.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressor­tent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit.Various other characteristics of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

  • Fig. 7 is a section taken along the line VII-VII of FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 8 is a section similar to FIG. 4 of a variant.

La fig. 1 illustre un véhicule 1 comportant, à sa partie arrière, deux portes 2 et 3 articulées sur des charnières 4, 5. Chaque porte est munie d'une crémone de verrouil­lage 6, respectivement 7.Fig. 1 illustrates a vehicle 1 comprising, at its rear part, two doors 2 and 3 articulated on hinges 4, 5. Each door is provided with a locking bolt 6, respectively 7.

Chaque crémone comporte une barre de torsion 8, 8a aux extrémités de laquelle sont fixés des pênes 9 et 10, respectivement 9a et 10a.Each cremone bolt comprises a torsion bar 8, 8a at the ends of which are fixed bolts 9 and 10, respectively 9a and 10a.

Les pênes 9, 9a sont destinés à coopérer avec une gâche double 11 ou deux gâches symétriques. De même, les pênes 10, 10a coopèrent avec une gâche double 12 identique à la gâche 11 ou deux gâches symétriques. Dans la pratique, il est préféré d'utiliser deux gâches symétriques pour permettre leur réglage en tenant compte des tolérances de fabrication du véhicule et des portes.The bolts 9, 9a are intended to cooperate with a double strike 11 or two symmetrical strikes. Similarly, the bolts 10, 10a cooperate with a double strike 12 identical to the strike 11 or two symmetrical strikes. In practice, it is preferred to use two symmetrical keepers to allow their adjustment taking into account the manufacturing tolerances of the vehicle and the doors.

Pour simplifier la description qui suit, seule la crémone 6 et une gâche double 11 sont décrites, ces organes étant identiques à la crémone 7 et à la gâche double 12.To simplify the description which follows, only the cremone bolt 6 and a double keeper 11 are described, these members being identical to the cremone bolt 7 and the double keeper 12.

Ainsi que l'illustrent les fig. 2 et 3, la gâche 11 délimite deux logements ou berceaux symétriques 13, 14 destinés à recevoir les pênes 9, 9a.As illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the keeper 11 delimits two symmetrical housings or cradles 13, 14 intended to receive the bolts 9, 9a.

La forme particulière des logements ou berceaux 13, 14 ne faisant pas partie directement de l'invention, elle ne sera pas décrite plus en détail et ce d'autant qu'il est connu dans la technique de former un tel logement ou berceau de différentes manières faisant que les pênes y sont introduits par une rotation de sensiblement 90° pour être verrouillés tant latéralement qu'axialement en provoquant le serrage de la porte contre les joints existant entre elle et la caisse du véhicule.The particular shape of the housings or cradles 13, 14 not forming a direct part of the invention, it will not be described in more detail and this as far as it is known in the art to form such a housing or cradle of different ways that the bolts are introduced therein by a rotation of substantially 90 ° to be locked both laterally and axially by causing the door to be tightened against the joints existing between it and the body of the vehicle.

La gâche 11 est fixée au véhicule 1 au moyen de vis 15 passées dans des trous fraisés 16 prévus dans la gâche 11 de préférence dans la partie de celle-ci qui délimite les logements ou berceaux 13, 14. Les trous fraisés 16 sont avantageusement ovoïdes ou rectangulaires pour permettre le réglage des gâches.The keeper 11 is fixed to the vehicle 1 by means of screws 15 passed through countersunk holes 16 provided in the keeper 11 preferably in the part of the latter which delimits the housings or cradles 13, 14. The countersunk holes 16 are advantageously ovoid or rectangular to allow the strikes to be adjusted.

En effet, comme l'illustre la fig. 3, lorsque les pênes 9, 9a sont en place dans lesdits berceaux 13, 14, ils recouvrent la tête de vis 15 en rendant impossible tout démontage de la gâche.Indeed, as illustrated in fig. 3, when the bolts 9, 9a are in place in said cradles 13, 14, they cover the screw head 15 making it impossible to dismantle the keeper.

Il est possible, si on le désire, de prévoir au moins un trou intermédiaire 17, pouvant être ovoïde ou rectangu­laire entre les deux berceaux 13, 14 pour la mise en place d'une vis supplémentaire, ce qui permet de mettre facilement en oeuvre des gâches simples.It is possible, if desired, to provide at least one intermediate hole 17, which can be ovoid or rectangular between the two cradles 13, 14 for the installation of an additional screw, which makes it possible to easily implement simple strikes.

Comme le montre le dessin, le pêne 9 est relié, par exemple soudé, à une chape 18 ou autre raccord permettant de le relier à un levier de manoeuvre 19 destiné à se trouver sous la porte.As shown in the drawing, the bolt 9 is connected, for example welded, to a yoke 18 or other fitting allowing it to be connected to an operating lever 19 intended to be located under the door.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le levier de manoeuvre 19 est relié à la chape 18 par un rivet 20 mais tous autres moyens de liaison connus dans la technique peuvent être utilisés.In the example shown, the operating lever 19 is connected to the yoke 18 by a rivet 20 but any other connecting means known in the art can be used.

Le pêne 9 forme, en outre, un fourreau 21 pour le relier à la barre de torsion 8 et, par conséquent, au pêne 10.The bolt 9 also forms a sheath 21 for connecting it to the torsion bar 8 and, consequently, to the bolt 10.

Un ensemble de verrouillage 22 est porté par le véhicule pour correspondre au levier de manoeuvre 19.A locking assembly 22 is carried by the vehicle to correspond to the operating lever 19.

Dans l'exemple représenté, l'ensemble de verrouillage comporte une ferrure 23 dont la semelle 24 est fixée au véhicule par des vis 25. La ferrure 23 forme une boucle 26 dans laquelle est insérée l'extrémité d'une seconde ferrure 27 articulée par un axe 28 à la semelle 24.In the example shown, the locking assembly comprises a fitting 23 whose sole 24 is fixed to the vehicle by screws 25. The fitting 23 forms a loop 26 in which is inserted the end of a second fitting 27 articulated by an axis 28 to the sole 24.

La ferrure 27 et la boucle 26 présentent des trous coïncidants 30 respectivement 31, 32 pour l'étrier d'un cadenas 33 ou d'un autre organe de verrouillage.The fitting 27 and the loop 26 have coincident holes 30 respectively 31, 32 for the stirrup of a padlock 33 or of another locking member.

Comme cela ressort de ce qui précède pour ouvrir la porte 2, on retire, tout d'abord, le cadenas puis on fait pivoter la seconde ferrure 27, ce qui permet de dégager le levier de manoeuvre 19 qui peut ainsi être tiré dans le sens de la flèche f₁ (fig. 3).As is apparent from the above to open door 2, we first remove the padlock and then rotate the second fitting 27, which releases the operating lever 19 which can thus be pulled in the direction arrow f₁ (fig. 3).

La traction exercée sur le levier a pour effet de faire pivoter le pêne 9 dans le sens pour lequel celui-ci tend à sortir du logement ou berceau 13.The traction exerted on the lever has the effect of rotating the bolt 9 in the direction for which it tends to come out of the housing or cradle 13.

Le mouvement du pêne 9 est transmis au pêne 10 par la barre de torsion 8 de sorte que les deux pênes de la crémone 6 en pivotant sortent progressivement de la gâche et amorcent l'ouverture de la porte 2 qui peut être poursuivie facilement lorsque les pênes 9, 10 ont été tournés d'environ 90° c'est-à-dire lorsque le levier de manoeuvre 19 forme approximativement angle droit avec la porte 2 qui est décollée des joints qu'elle pressait.The movement of the bolt 9 is transmitted to the bolt 10 by the torsion bar 8 so that the two bolts of the cremone bolt 6 by pivoting gradually come out of the keeper and initiate the opening of the door 2 which can be easily continued when the bolts 9, 10 have been rotated by approximately 90 °, that is to say when the operating lever 19 forms approximately a right angle with the door 2 which is detached from the seals it pressed.

La manoeuvre de la porte 3 s'effectue exactement de la même manière.Door 3 is operated in exactly the same way.

Pour refermer, on procède à l'opposé de ce qui vient d'être décrit.To close, we proceed opposite to what has just been described.

Comme le montre la fig. 7, les barres 8 des crémones 6, 7 sont montées dans l'épaisseur des portes et la ou les gâches 11 sont disposées au-dessus et en dessous des portes 2, 3.As shown in fig. 7, the bars 8 of the cremone bolts 6, 7 are mounted in the thickness of the doors and the keeper (s) 11 are arranged above and below the doors 2, 3.

Il est avantageux pour constituer les portes 2, 3 d'uti­liser des profilés verticaux en U 34, 35 reliés par des profilés horizontaux 36, 37, par exemple réalisés en aluminium extrudé. Les profilés verticaux 34, 35 délimi­tent ainsi chacun un fourreau 38 pour la barre de torsion 8, 8a de chaque crémone 6, 7.It is advantageous to constitute the doors 2, 3 to use vertical U-shaped profiles 34, 35 connected by horizontal profiles 36, 37, for example made of extruded aluminum. The vertical sections 34, 35 thus each delimit a sheath 38 for the torsion bar 8, 8a of each cremone bolt 6, 7.

Les profilés verticaux 35 présentent sur un de leurs côtés une partie en U 39 pour le logement d'une plaque 40 constituant la partie pleine de chaque porte. La plaque 40 est également engagée dans la partie en U du profilé vertical correspondant 34 ou 35 ainsi que dans les profilés 36, 37 qui présentent la même forme en U en section.The vertical profiles 35 have on one of their sides a U-shaped part 39 for housing a plate 40 constituting the solid part of each door. The plate 40 is also engaged in the U-shaped part of the corresponding vertical profile 34 or 35 as well as in the profiles 36, 37 which have the same U shape in section.

Les fig. 1 et 5 montrent que les profilés en U 35 délimi­tent des évidements 41 pour l'encastrement de plaques d'articulation 42 bien visibles à la fig. 5 qui sont reliées entre elles par des arbres 43 et 44 pour consti­tuer les charnières 4. Les arbres 43, 44 sont reliés rigidement aux plaques d'articulation 42 au moyen de goupilles 45 et sont articulés dans des paliers non représentés. Les paliers des arbres 43 sont disposés dans le profilé 35 de chaque porte, tandis que les arbres 44 sont disposés dans des paliers formés par des profilés 46 faisant partie du véhicule 1.Figs. 1 and 5 show that the U-shaped profiles 35 delimit recesses 41 for the embedding of articulation plates 42 clearly visible in FIG. 5 which are connected together by shafts 43 and 44 to form the hinges 4. The shafts 43, 44 are rigidly connected to the articulation plates 42 by means of pins 45 and are articulated in bearings not shown. The bearings of the shafts 43 are arranged in the profile 35 of each door, while the shafts 44 are arranged in bearings formed by profiles 46 forming part of the vehicle 1.

Cette disposition permet un mouvement de pivotement des portes 2, 3 suivant un angle égal au moins à 270° pour que lesdites portes puissent être amenées respectivement à l'extérieur d'un des côtés latéraux du véhicule.This arrangement allows a pivoting movement of the doors 2, 3 at an angle equal to at least 270 ° so that said doors can be brought respectively to the outside of one of the lateral sides of the vehicle.

Les fig. 5 et 6 montrent que les profilés 35 sont munis de garnitures 47, en forme de cornières réalisées par exemple en matière synthétique et comportant des lèvres souples 48, 48a et un joint 49 en forme de bourrelet. Les garnitures 47 et leurs lèvres souples 48, 48a sont avantageusement fabriquées en une seule pièce en résine synthétique dite bi-dureté qui sont maintenant normale­ment réalisées par extrusion simultanément à partir de deux qualités de résines synthétiques compatibles.Figs. 5 and 6 show that the sections 35 are provided with fittings 47, in the form of angles made for example of synthetic material and comprising flexible lips 48, 48a and a seal 49 in the form of a bead. The linings 47 and their flexible lips 48, 48a are advantageously made in a single piece of synthetic resin called bi-hardness which are now normally produced by extrusion simultaneously from two qualities of compatible synthetic resins.

Les lèvres souples 48, 48a assurent l'étanchéité entre chaque profilé 39 et la garniture 47 correspondante tandis que le joint en forme de bourrelet 49 assure l'étanchéité entre la garniture 47, c'est-à-dire le profilé 35 et le profilé 46 faisant partie du véhicule 1.The flexible lips 48, 48a seal between each profile 39 and the corresponding liner 47 while the bead-shaped seal 49 seals between the liner 47, that is to say the profile 35 and the profile 46 being part of the vehicle 1.

La fig. 6 montre la position des arbres 43, 44 et du joint 49 en forme de bourrelet dans les parties du véhicule et les parties de la porte séparant deux plaques d'articulation 42.Fig. 6 shows the position of the shafts 43, 44 and of the bead-shaped seal 49 in the parts of the vehicle and the parts of the door separating two articulation plates 42.

Des garnitures formant des joints complémentaires 50, 51 sont également disposées en extrémité des profilés 34, 35 contenant les barres de torsion 8 des crémones. Les joints 50, 51 comportent une partie dure 50a respective­ment 51a emboîtant l'extrémité des profilés 34, 35 et des parties souples 50b respectivement 51b, 51c prenant appui par déformation élastique contre le joint complémentaire. Des garnitures formant des joints analogues mais non représentés en détail sont disposés en 52 et 53 en haut et en bas de chaque porte ainsi que l'illustre la fig. 1.Packings forming complementary seals 50, 51 are also arranged at the end of the profiles 34, 35 containing the torsion bars 8 of the cremones. The seals 50, 51 comprise a hard part 50a respectively 51a fitting the end of the profiles 34, 35 and flexible parts 50b respectively 51b, 51c bearing by elastic deformation against the complementary seal. Packings forming similar seals but not shown in detail are arranged at 52 and 53 at the top and bottom of each door as illustrated in FIG. 1.

La fig. 8 illustre une variante de réalisation de l'en­semble de verrouillage 22a. Dans ce cas, la semelle 24 qui est fixée en dessous de chaque porte 2, 3 forme des pattes 54 pour le support d'un berceau 55 sensiblement en U dont l'un des côtés délimite un bord évasé 56. Le dessous du berceau 55 délimite avec la semelle 24 un couloir de guidage pour un berceau mobile 57 relié au berceau fixe 55 par un ressort 58 travaillant à la compression. Le berceau mobile 57 délimite un bord replié 59 faisant face au bord évasé 56 du berceau fixe 55. La distance séparant le bord replié 59 du bord évasé 56 est plus petit que la largeur du levier de commande 19 décrit dans ce qui précède.Fig. 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the locking assembly 22a. In this case, the sole 24 which is fixed below each door 2, 3 forms legs 54 for the support of a cradle 55 substantially in a U, one of the sides of which delimits a flared edge 56. The underside of the cradle 55 defines with the sole 24 a guide passage for a movable cradle 57 connected to the fixed cradle 55 by a spring 58 working under compression. The movable cradle 57 defines a folded edge 59 facing the flared edge 56 of the fixed cradle 55. The distance separating the folded edge 59 from the flared edge 56 is smaller than the width of the control lever 19 described in the foregoing.

La semelle 24 comporte, par ailleurs, une patte 60 percée d'au moins un trou 61 pour la mise en place d'un cadenas par exemple le cadenas 34 de la fig. 4 et le cas échéant une lumière 61a pour le passage d'un lien de plombage. Lorsque le cadenas n'est pas en place, les différentes parties de l'ensemble de verrouillage occupent la posi­tion représentée à la fig. 8. Lorsque l'utilisateur verrouille l'une des portes, le levier de manoeuvre 19 vient buter contre le bord replié 59, ce qui a pour effet de faire coulisser le berceau mobile dans le sens de la flèche f₂ pour permettre à ce levier 19 de venir occuper la position illustrée en traits mixtes. Le ressort 58 ramène ensuite le berceau mobile à sa position initiale, ce qui verrouille le levier 19. Le cadenas 33 décrit précédemment, ou une serrure, peut ensuite être mis en place éventuellement.The sole 24 also comprises a tab 60 pierced with at least one hole 61 for the installation of a padlock, for example the padlock 34 of FIG. 4 and if necessary a light 61a for the passage of a sealing link. When the padlock is not in place, the different parts of the locking assembly occupy the position shown in FIG. 8. When the user locks one of the doors, the operating lever 19 abuts against the folded edge 59, which has the effect of sliding the movable cradle in the direction of the arrow f₂ to allow this lever 19 to come occupy the position illustrated in dashed lines. The spring 58 then brings the movable cradle back to its initial position, which locks the lever 19. The padlock 33 described above, or a lock, can then possibly be put in place.

Pour ouvrir la porte après retrait du cadenas, il suffit d'exercer une poussée sur la partie libre du berceau mobile 57 qui est ainsi coulissé contre l'action du ressort 58 en permettant le dégagement du levier de manoeuvre 19.To open the door after removing the padlock, it suffices to push on the free part of the movable cradle 57 which is thus slid against the action of the spring 58 while allowing the release of the operating lever 19.

Les crémones 6, 7 sont de préférence montées dans l'épaisseur des portes pour que les gâches 11 et 12 soient disposées au dessus et en dessous des portes et puissent même être incluses dans un profilé 62 en U ou d'une autre forme schématisée à la fig. 3.The cremone bolts 6, 7 are preferably mounted in the thickness of the doors so that the strikes 11 and 12 are arranged above and below the doors and can even be included in a U-shaped profile 62 or of another shape shown diagrammatically. fig. 3.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation représentés et décrits en détail, car diverses modifica­tions peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. En particulier, les charnières des portes peuvent être réalisées d'autres façons par exemple au moyen de profi­lés en élastomère bien connus dans la technique.The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and described in detail, since various modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope. In particular, the door hinges can be produced in other ways, for example by means of elastomer profiles well known in the art.
