Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de fixation renforcée d'un verrou, bouton-poussoir ou analogue du type selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a reinforced fixing device for a lock, push-button or the like of the type according to the preamble of claim 1.

Elle vise plus particulièrement un dispositif de fixation renforcée d'un verrou sur une porte de véhicule.It relates more particularly to a reinforced fixing device for a lock on a vehicle door.

On connaît déjà des verrous de porte équipés d'une bielle de commande d'un mécanisme de serrure et montés par l'extérieur au travers d'un poinçonnage effectué dans le panneau de porte, lesquels verrous sont fixés ou verrouillés sur le panneau de porte, par une fourche plate disposée contre la face interne de ce panneau.Door locks are already known which are fitted with a rod for controlling a lock mechanism and which are mounted from the outside through a punching operation carried out in the door panel, which locks are fixed or locked on the door panel. , by a flat fork arranged against the internal face of this panel.

Ce type de montage impose que la bielle ait une forme permettant son introduction au travers du trou poinconné sur le panneau, mais, dans tous les cas, la manoeuvre d'introduction du verrou avec sa bielle associée demeure une opération délicate surtout lorsque la bielle doit comporter une tringle la reliant au mécanisme de serrure.This type of mounting requires that the connecting rod has a shape allowing its introduction through the punched hole on the panel, but, in all cases, the operation of introducing the lock with its associated connecting rod remains a delicate operation especially when the connecting rod must have a rod connecting it to the lock mechanism.

Par ailleurs, on connait d'après le document FR-A-2582755 un dispositif de fixation d'un bouton-poussoir sur une porte à l'aide d'une platine échancrée susceptible de coulisser le long de la face interne du panneau et dont l'actionnement permet l'immobilisation du bouton-poussoir qui est monté traversant dans le panneau et la platine, et qui commande une bielle susceptible d'agir sur un mécanisme de serrure.Furthermore, we know from document FR-A-2582755 a device for fixing a push button on a door using a notched plate capable of sliding along the internal face of the panel and whose actuation allows the immobilization of the push button which is mounted through the panel and the plate, and which controls a connecting rod capable of acting on a lock mechanism.

Toutefois, avec ce type de montage, la platine n'est pas guidée positivement par rapport au panneau et subit par conséquent des déplacements ou des mouvements de débattement aléatoires lorsqu'on la manoeuvre, de sorte que le verrouillage ou la fixation du bouton-poussoir sur le panneau doit s'effectuer par tâtonnements et est très difficile sinon impossible à réaliser.However, with this type of mounting, the plate is not guided positively with respect to the panel and consequently undergoes random movements or movements of movement when it is maneuvered, so that the locking or fixing of the push button on the panel must be done by trial and error and is very difficult if not impossible to achieve.

Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de remédier notamment aux inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un dispositif perfectionné qui non seulement facilite considérablement la fixation d'un verrou ou analogue sur le panneau de porte mais renforce ledit panneau et augmente la sécurité aux effractions.Also, the present invention aims to remedy in particular the above drawbacks by proposing an improved device which not only considerably facilitates the fixing of a lock or the like on the door panel but strengthens said panel and increases security against break-ins.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation renforcée d'un verrou, bouton-poussoir ou analogue sur une porte à l'aide d'une platine échancrée susceptible de coulisser le long de la face interne du panneau et dont l'actionnement permet l'immobilisation du verrou qui est monté traversant dans le panneau et la platine et qui commande au moins une bielle agissant sur un mécanisme de serrure, caractérisé en ce que ladite platine est montée coulissante dans une plaque de renfort elle aussi échancrée fixée sur ledit panneau et sur laquelle est monté, du côté de la face interne du panneau, un fourreau formant logement pour le verrou et supportant un nez d'entraînement de ladite bielle par le verrou.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for reinforced fixing of a lock, push-button or the like on a door using a notched plate capable of sliding along the internal face of the panel and of which actuation allows immobilization of the bolt which is mounted passing through in the panel and the plate and which controls at least one connecting rod acting on a lock mechanism, characterized in that said plate is slidably mounted in a reinforcing plate which is also indented fixed to said panel and on which is mounted, on the side of the internal face of the panel, a sheath forming a housing for the bolt and supporting a drive nose of said connecting rod by the bolt.

On comprend donc déjà que la plaque précitée non seulement permettra un guidage positif de la platine facilitant le montage et la fixation du verrou sur le panneau, mais également renforce ledit panneau et améliore par conséquent la résistance aux effractions provoquées au niveau du verrou.It is therefore already understood that the aforementioned plate will not only allow positive guidance of the plate facilitating the mounting and fixing of the lock on the panel, but also reinforces said panel and consequently improves the resistance to break-ins caused at the level of the lock.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de ce dispositif, la bielle précitée est coudée de façon à s'étendre le long du fourreau précité et se terminer à proximité de la face interne du panneau.According to another characteristic of this device, the aforementioned connecting rod is bent so as to extend along the aforementioned sheath and end near the internal face of the panel.

On précisera encore ici que la partie coudée de la bielle possède un ergot ou analogue pénétrant dans une lumière, rainure ou analogue ménagée sur le fourreau.It will also be specified here that the bent part of the connecting rod has a lug or the like penetrating into a lumen, groove or the like formed on the sheath.

Ainsi, non seulement la rigidité de la bielle, lors de son déplacement commandé par le verrou, sera améliorée, mais, du fait de sa forme particulière, cette bielle participera avantageusement à la sécurité contre les effractions.Thus, not only will the rigidity of the connecting rod, during its movement controlled by the bolt, be improved, but, because of its particular shape, this connecting rod will advantageously contribute to security against break-ins.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque précitée est fixée sur le chant de la porte et comporte deux bords opposés repliés formant glissière de guidage pour la platine.According to another characteristic of the invention, the aforementioned plate is fixed to the edge of the door and has two opposite folded edges forming a guide slide for the plate.

Cette platine coulissante comporte encore un talon pourvu d'un moyen de fixation temporaire d'un outil et pouvant coulisser dans une lumière ménagée dans la plaque précitée.This sliding plate also has a heel provided with a means for temporarily fixing a tool and which can slide in a slot in the aforementioned plate.

La lumière ménagée sur le fourreau et recevant l'ergot solidaire de la bielle comporte à l'une de ses extrémités une encoche permettant, au montage, l'insertion de l'ergot dans ladite lumière.The light formed on the sheath and receiving the lug integral with the connecting rod comprises at one of its ends a notch allowing, during assembly, the insertion of the lug in said light.

On précisera encore que le verrou est monté par le côté extérieur du panneau après montage sur le côté intérieur de ce panneau de la plaque équipée de la platine coulissante, du fourreau et de la bielle de sorte que finalement le montage et la fixation du verrou sur le panneau de porte pourront être effectués facilement et rapidement.It will also be specified that the lock is mounted on the outside of the panel after mounting on the inside of this panel of the plate fitted with the sliding plate, the sheath and the connecting rod so that finally the mounting and fixing of the lock on the door panel can be done easily and quickly.

Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue partielle et en coupe d'un panneau extérieur de porte sur lequel est fixé un verrou à l'aide d'une combinaison de moyens conformes à l'invention, la coupe étant située dans un plan vertical passant par l'axe du verrou ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1 ;
  • La figure 3 est une vue suivant la flèche III de la figure 2 et montrant les divers moyens de fixation mis en place et prêts à recevoir le verrou, celui-ci n'étant donc pas encore fixé sur le panneau de porte ;
  • La figure 4 est une vue partielle et en plan du panneau de porte au niveau du poinçonnage permettant l'introduction du verrou et se superposant au poinçonnage réalisé dans la plaque fixée au panneau ; et
  • La figure 5 est une vue en coupe suivant sensiblement la ligne V-V de la figure 1, cette coupe illustrant les moyens de fixation du verrou en position d'immobilisation du verrou sur le panneau, et cela grâce à un outil susceptible d'effectuer une traction sur la platine montée coulissante dans la plaque fixée au panneau.
However, other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial sectional view of an outer door panel on which is fixed a latch using a combination of means according to the invention, the section being located in a vertical plane passing through the 'axis of the lock;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a view along arrow III of Figure 2 and showing the various fixing means in place and ready to receive the lock, the latter is therefore not yet attached to the door panel;
  • Figure 4 is a partial plan view of the door panel at the punching for the introduction of the latch and superimposed on the punching made in the plate fixed to the panel; and
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along substantially the line VV of Figure 1, this section illustrating the means for fixing the lock in the immobilization position of the lock on the panel, and this by means of a tool capable of pulling on the plate mounted sliding in the plate fixed to the panel.

En se reportant aux dessins, on voit en 1 un panneau de porte de véhicule sur lequel est monté un verrou 2 traversant ledit panneau grâce à un poinçonnage ou une ouverture 3 ménagée dans celui-ci, étant entendu que le verrou 2 peut être actionné par un clé 4.Referring to the drawings, we see at 1 a vehicle door panel on which is mounted a latch 2 passing through said panel by means of a punching or an opening 3 formed therein, it being understood that the latch 2 can be actuated by a key 4.

Bien entendu, le verrou 2 pourrait parfaitement, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, constituer un autre moyen pour ouvrir et fermer ou verrouiller une porte, tel que par exemple un bouton-poussoir.Of course, the lock 2 could perfectly, without departing from the scope of the invention, constitute another means for opening and closing or locking a door, such as for example a push button.

La fixation du verrou 2 sur le panneau 1 est assurée par une platine 5 munie d'une échancrure 6 permettant le passage du verrou 2 et susceptible de coulisser le long de la face interne 1a du panneau 1, et dont l'actionnement permet l'immobilisation du verrou 2, comme on l'expliquera plus loin.The fastening of the lock 2 on the panel 1 is ensured by a plate 5 provided with a notch 6 allowing the passage of the lock 2 and capable of sliding along the internal face 1a of the panel 1, and the actuation of which allows the immobilization of the lock 2, as will be explained below.

Le verrou 2 commande une bielle 7 reliée à et agissant sur un mécanisme de serrure (non représenté) par l'intermédiaire d'une tringle, biellette ou analogue 8.The lock 2 controls a connecting rod 7 connected to and acting on a lock mechanism (not shown) by means of a rod, rod or the like 8.

Conformément à l'invention, la platine 5 est montée coulissante dans une plaque 9 de renfort du panneau 1, qui est fixée par des vis 10 par exemple, et comme on le voit bien sur les figures 2, 3 et 5, sur le chant 11 du panneau de porte 1.According to the invention, the plate 5 is slidably mounted in a plate 9 for reinforcing the panel 1, which is fixed by screws 10 for example, and as can be seen in Figures 2, 3 and 5, on the edge 11 of door panel 1.

Plus précisément, et comme on le voit bien sur les figures 1, 3 et 5, la plaque de renfort 9, qui est percée d'un ajour identique à l'ouverture 3 pratiquée dans le panneau 1 pour permettre le passage du verrou 2, est munie de deux bords opposés et repliés 9a formant glissière de guidage pour la platine coulissante 5, étant entendu, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 1, que les bords 9a de la plaque 9 sont repliés du côté de la face interne 1a du panneau 1.More precisely, and as can be seen in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, the reinforcing plate 9, which is pierced with an aperture identical to the opening 3 made in the panel 1 to allow the passage of the lock 2, is provided with two opposite and folded edges 9a forming a guide slide for the sliding plate 5, it being understood, as can be seen in FIG. 1, that the edges 9a of the plate 9 are folded over on the side of the internal face 1a of the panel 1.

On a montré en 12 sur la figure 1 des rainures, gorges ou analogues dans lesquelles pénètre le bord de l'ajour 6 de la platine coulissante 5 pour assurer la fixation du verrou 2 sur le panneau de porte 1.There have been shown at 12 in FIG. 1 grooves, grooves or the like into which the edge of the aperture 6 of the sliding plate 5 penetrates to ensure the fixing of the latch 2 on the door panel 1.

Sur la plaque 9 est monté un fourreau 13 servant de logement pour le verrou 2 et supportant un nez 14 d'entraînement de la bielle 7 par le verrou 2 lorsqu'on actionne la clé 4.On the plate 9 is mounted a sheath 13 serving as a housing for the lock 2 and supporting a nose 14 for driving the connecting rod 7 by the lock 2 when the key 4 is actuated.

Comme on le voit bien sur la figure 2, la bielle 7 comporte une partie coudée formant levier 15 qui s'étend le long du fourreau 13 et se termine à proximité de la face interne 1a du panneau 1 par une extrémité 16 à laquelle est reliée la tringle 8 agissant sur le mécanisme de serrure et autorisant ou non l'ouverture de la porte par manoeuvre d'une poignée extérieure non représentée.As can be clearly seen in FIG. 2, the connecting rod 7 has a bent part forming a lever 15 which extends along the sheath 13 and ends near the internal face 1a of the panel 1 by an end 16 to which is connected the rod 8 acting on the lock mechanism and authorizing or not the opening of the door by operation of an external handle not shown.

La partie coudée 15 de la bielle 7 est munie d'un ergot 17 qui pénètre et coulisse dans une lumière, rainure ou analogue 18 ménagée dans le fourreau 13.The bent part 15 of the connecting rod 7 is provided with a lug 17 which penetrates and slides in a slot, groove or the like 18 formed in the sheath 13.

Cette lumière 18 comporte à l'une de ses extrémités une encoche 19 située en partie supérieure du fourreau dans une zone où la bielle ne fonctionne pas, et permettant, au montage, l'introduction de l'ergot 17 dans la lumière ou rainure 18. Un tel montage permet d'améliorer notablement la rigidité de la bielle 7 en mouvement.This light 18 has at one of its ends a notch 19 located in the upper part of the sheath in an area where the connecting rod does not work, and allowing, during assembly, the introduction of the lug 17 in the light or groove 18 Such an assembly makes it possible to significantly improve the rigidity of the connecting rod 7 in movement.

La platine coulissante et échancrée 5 comporte, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 1, des ailerons 5a montés coulissants dans les bords repliés ou glissères 9a de la plaque 9, et cette platine 5 comporte également, à l'une de ses extrémités un talon 20 (figures 2, 3 et 5) muni d'une empreinte 21 permettant la fixation temporaire, par vissage par exemple, d'un outil montré schématiquement en 22 sur la figure 5.The sliding and scalloped plate 5 comprises, as can be seen in FIG. 1, fins 5a slidably mounted in the folded or sliding edges 9a of the plate 9, and this plate 5 also comprises, at one of its ends a heel 20 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 5) provided with an imprint 21 allowing the temporary fixing, by screwing for example, of a tool shown diagrammatically at 22 in FIG. 5.

On a montré en 23 sur les figures 3 et 5 une lumière ménagée dans la plaque de renfort 9 et permettant le coulissement du talon 20 et donc de la platine 5 lorsqu'elle est actionnée par l'outil 22 comme on le décrira plus en détail maintenant dans les explications qui vont suivre et relatives au montage et démontage du dispositif de fixation renforcée qui vient d'être décrit.23 has been shown in Figures 3 and 5 a light formed in the reinforcing plate 9 and allowing the sliding of the heel 20 and therefore of the plate 5 when actuated by the tool 22 as will be described in more detail now in the explanations which follow and relating to the mounting and dismounting of the reinforced fixing device which has just been described.

Pour effectuer le montage, on fixe tout d'abord par les vis 10 la plaque de renfort 9 avec sa platine coulissante 5 sur le chant 11 du panneau de porte 1, ladite plaque étant équipée de la platine coulissante 5 du fourreau 13 et de la bielle 7. Puis le verrou 2 est introduit par le côté extérieur au travers des poinçonnages ou ouvertures pratiquées dans le panneau 1, la platine 5 et la plaque 9. Ainsi, le nez d'entraînement 14 du verrou 2 pénètre dans la bielle 7.To carry out the assembly, the reinforcing plate 9 with its sliding plate 5 is first fixed by the screws 10 on the edge 11 of the door panel 1, said plate being equipped with the sliding plate 5 of the sheath 13 and the connecting rod 7. Then the bolt 2 is introduced from the outer side through the punches or openings made in the panel 1, the plate 5 and the plate 9. Thus, the drive nose 14 of the bolt 2 enters the connecting rod 7.

Ensuite, l'outil 22 est introduit par un orifice prévu dans le chant 11 du panneau de porte 1, dans l'empreinte 21 du talon 1. Cet outil est alors vissé sur l'empreinte 21, et, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, on effectue une traction sur l'outil, vers l'extérieur, suivant la flèche T, de sorte que les ailerons 5a de la platine coulissante 5 pénètrent dans les rainures ou gorges 3 du verrou 2. La fixation est terminée lorsque le bord 6a de l'ajour 6 dans la platine 5 vient en butée sur le corps du verrou 2.Then, the tool 22 is introduced through an orifice provided in the edge 11 of the door panel 1, in the cavity 21 of the heel 1. This tool is then screwed onto the cavity 21, and, as seen on the FIG. 5, a pull is made on the tool, towards the outside, along arrow T, so that the fins 5a of the sliding plate 5 penetrate into the grooves or grooves 3 of the lock 2. The fixing is completed when the edge 6a of the aperture 6 in the plate 5 abuts on the body of the latch 2.

Le montage étant terminé, il suffit alors de dévisser l'outil 22 pour le désolidariser du talon 20 de la platine coulissante 5.The assembly being finished, it suffices then to unscrew the tool 22 to separate it from the heel 20 of the sliding plate 5.

Il est important de remarquer ici que la fixation de verrou selon cette invention est nettement renforcée par rapport aux montages classiques, et cela grâce à la plaque 9 qui renforce le panneau de porte à l'endroit où il est traversé par le verrou, et qui, au demeurant, permet un guidage positif et fiable de la platine coulissante permettant la fixation du verrou sur le panneau. Autrement dit, la résistance à l'effraction sera considérablement améliorée, notamment lors d'une attaque en force à l'aide par exemple d'un tournevis ou autre objet similaire introduit dans le verrou par l'entrée de clé.It is important to note here that the lock fixing according to this invention is significantly reinforced compared to conventional assemblies, and this thanks to the plate 9 which reinforces the door panel at the place where it is crossed by the lock, and which , moreover, allows a positive and reliable guidance of the plate sliding allowing the fixing of the lock on the panel. In other words, the resistance to burglary will be considerably improved, in particular during a force attack using for example a screwdriver or other similar object introduced into the lock by the key entry.

En outre, le fait que l'extrémité libre de la bielle commandant le mécanisme de serrure par la tringle, soit renvoyée vers le panneau de porte contribue à l'augmentation de la résistance aux effractions, car si on utilise par exemple un tournevis comme expliqué précédemment pour réaliser une effraction, non seulement le débattement du verrou par rapport au panneau de porte sera limité grâce à la plaque renforçante, mais le débattement angulaire de ladite extrémité sera lui aussi limité et beaucoup plus limité que si la bielle n'était pas renvoyée vers le panneau, c'est-à-dire agissait sur le mécanisme de serrure via la tringle au niveau de l'extrémité du verrou portant ladite tringle comme cela était le cas dans les systèmes antérieurs.In addition, the fact that the free end of the connecting rod controlling the lock mechanism by the rod, is returned to the door panel contributes to the increase in resistance to break-ins, because if for example using a screwdriver as explained previously to make a break-in, not only will the movement of the latch relative to the door panel be limited thanks to the reinforcing plate, but the angular movement of said end will also be limited and much more limited than if the connecting rod was not returned towards the panel, that is to say acted on the lock mechanism via the rod at the end of the bolt carrying said rod as was the case in previous systems.

Le dispositif de fixation selon cette invention est par conséquent considérablement plus résistant aux effractions que les dispositifs antérieurs et peut être assemblé et monté sur un panneau de porte d'une façon beaucoup plus facile et beaucoup plus rapide.The fastening device according to this invention is therefore considerably more resistant to break-ins than the prior devices and can be assembled and mounted on a door panel in a much easier and much faster way.
