Le secteur technique de l'invention est celui du matériel urbain équipant les aires publiques ou privées, livrées ou non à la circulation automobile.The technical sector of the invention is that of urban equipment equipping public or private areas, whether or not delivered to automobile traffic.

On connaît des bornes ou poteaux qui sont placés par exemple sur les aires de stationnement des véhicules en vue de réserver leur emplacement.Bollards or posts are known which are placed, for example, on vehicle parking areas in order to reserve their location.

Une borne à hauteur variable fonctionnant de façon autonome a déjà été décrite dans le brevet FR. A. 2.621.625. Selon ce brevet, la borne est escamotable et peut être immobilisée en position sortie à différentes hauteurs.A variable height terminal operating independently has already been described in the FR patent. A. 2,621,625. According to this patent, the terminal is retractable and can be immobilized in the extended position at different heights.

Pour autoriser le positionnement de la partie escamotable à la hauteur choisie, la borne comporte un dispositif de verrouillage comprenant un arbre parallèle à l'axe de la borne et comportant des cames à deux positions, qui coopèrent dans une première position verrouillée, avec une chape fixée à la partie escamotable de la borne ou qui, dans une deuxième position, s'efface sur le côté pour permettre le déplacement de ladite partie.To authorize the positioning of the retractable part at the chosen height, the bollard comprises a locking device comprising a shaft parallel to the axis of the bollard and comprising cams with two positions, which cooperate in a first locked position, with a yoke fixed to the retractable part of the terminal or which, in a second position, is erased on the side to allow the movement of said part.

Ce dispositif est manoeuvré au moyen d'une clé et pour verrouiller ou déverrouiller la partie escamotable, on doit positivement agir sur la clé dans un sens ou dans l'autre.This device is operated by means of a key and to lock or unlock the retractable part, one must positively act on the key in one direction or the other.

D'autres bornes ou poteaux destinés à la même application ou à une application semblable, sont également connus comme constituant l'Etat de la Technique pour avoir été décrits dans des brevets antérieurs.Other terminals or posts intended for the same or a similar application are also known as constituting the state of the art for having been described in previous patents.

- Le brevet FR. A. 1.401.359 décrit un obstacle amovible pour fermer un emplacement de véhicule.- The FR patent. A. 1.401.359 describes a removable obstacle to close a vehicle location.

Un tel dispositif comporte un levier pivotant pour immobiliser l'obstacle en position de réservation ou pour le retirer de son support, lequel levier est monté pivotant et coopère avec des moyens de verrouillage/déverrouillage commandés par une clé.Such a device comprises a pivoting lever for immobilizing the obstacle in the reservation position or for removing it from its support, which lever is pivotally mounted and cooperates with locking / unlocking means controlled by a key.

Un ressort agit sur le levier et tend à le mettre dans sa position verrouillée lorsqu'on a manoeuvré la clé.A spring acts on the lever and tends to put it in its locked position when the key has been operated.

- Le brevet FR. A. 2.371.548 décrit une barrière à hauteur fixe amovible comportant un levier pivotant soumis à l'action d'un ressort pour le déverrouillage en coopération avec une serrure.- The FR patent. A. 2,371,548 describes a removable fixed height barrier comprising a pivoting lever subjected to the action of a spring for unlocking in cooperation with a lock.

Le verrouillage et le déverrouillage sont obtenus au moyen d'une clé.Locking and unlocking are obtained by means of a key.

- Le brevet U.S. A. 4.003.161 décrit une barrière mécanique escamotable comportant un levier pivotant pour verrouiller la partie escamotable en position sortie, suivant plusieurs positions ou le déverrouiller en vue de son effacement, le verrouillage/déverrouillage étant obtenu au moyen d'une clé.- U.S. Patent A. 4,003,161 describes a retractable mechanical barrier comprising a pivoting lever for locking the retractable part in the extended position, in several positions or unlocking it for its erasure, the locking / unlocking being obtained by means of a key.

Comme pour le premier brevet français cité en tête, les dispositifs selon ces trois documents nécessitent que l'on agisse positivement sur la clé dans un sens ou dans l'autre, pour les verrouiller en position haute de sortie ou les déverrouiller en position basse effacée ou en vue de leur retrait.As for the first French patent cited at the top, the devices according to these three documents require that one act positively on the key in one direction or the other, to lock them in the high exit position or unlock them in the low erased position or with a view to their withdrawal.

- Le Modèle d'utilité DE. U. 7.828.325 décrit une barrière pivotante pour être mise parallèlement au sol, dans une position effacée et dans une position verticale de barrage, comportant un levier pivotant pour déverrouiller la barrière en position verticale sous l'action d'un ressort. Le déverrouillage est commandé par une clé.- The DE Utility Model. U. 7.828.325 describes a pivoting barrier to be placed parallel to the ground, in a retracted position and in a vertical barrier position, comprising a pivoting lever for unlocking the barrier in a vertical position under the action of a spring. Unlocking is controlled by a key.

La présente invention vise à apporter des perfectionnements aux bornes connues, notamment à celles escamotables susceptibles d'être mises dans une position haute de barrage et dans une position basse escamotée dans le sol.The present invention aims to provide improvements to known terminals, in particular to those which can be retracted which can be placed in a high barrier position and in a low position which is retracted into the ground.

Un objectif de la présente invention est de pourvoir une borne escamotable d'un dispositif ne nécessitant qu'une seule intervention, au moyen d'une clé, pour déverrouiller l'ensemble, soit en position haute de barrage, soit en position effacée, le verrouillage dans la position opposée à l'une ou l'autre position haute ou basse se faisant automatiquement par encliquetage, le terme encliquetage ayant été choisi du fait qu'il évoque le mieux le fonctionnement du système, par analogie à celui de la roue à cliquet.An objective of the present invention is to provide a retractable terminal with a device requiring only a single intervention, by means of a key, to unlock the assembly, either in the high barrier position, or in the retracted position, the locking in the position opposite to one or the other high or low position is done automatically by snap-fastening, the term snap-up having been chosen because it best evokes the functioning of the system, by analogy to that of the wheel at pawl.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un système fiable, évitant l'oubli ou la perte de la clé, celle-ci restant prisonnière du verrou tant que l'opérateur n'a pas replacé l'équipage mobile dans la position souhaitée, généralement la position haute d'interdiction.Another objective of the invention is to provide a reliable system, avoiding forgetting or losing the key, the latter remaining trapped in the lock until the operator has replaced the moving element in the desired position. , usually the high position prohibition.

Enfin un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un système simple, d'un prix de revient compatible avec le secteur d'utilisation.Finally, another objective of the invention is to provide a simple system, of a cost price compatible with the sector of use.

Ces objectifs sont atteints par la borne autonome à hauteur variable selon l'invention, comprenant un équipage mobile verticalement auquel est fixé une borne et coopérant avec un bâti fixé à un caisson, dont la remontée est assurée par un mécanisme tel qu'un vérin en appui sur le fond du caisson et relié audit équipage mobile et comprenant en outre, des dispositifs de verrouillage et de blocage en position haute ou basse dudit équipage mobile et de sa borne, manoeuvrés par une clé coopérant avec un verrou, caractérisée en ce que ledit dispositif de blocage se compose d'un ensemble comprenant un basculeur central et deux leviers de blocage, montés pivotants de part et d'autre dudit basculeur central, cet ensemble étant situé sur le côté dudit équipage mobile et s'étendant dans le sens de la hauteur du bâti, en ce que les extrémités dudit basculeur sont au contact d'une des extrémités de chaque levier pivotant et en ce que les autres extrémités desdits leviers sont soumises à l'action de ressorts en appui sur le bâti et tendent à repousser lesdits leviers pour que, dans une position inclinée du basculeur communiquée en manoeuvrant ladite clé, l'un ou l'autre des leviers soit mis en position de blocage haute ou basse, lesdits leviers venant alternativement s'encliqueter sur ledit équipage mobile en vue de son immobilisation momentanée et corrélativement celle de la borne, dans une position haute ou basse.These objectives are achieved by the autonomous height-adjustable bollard according to the invention, comprising a vertically mobile assembly to which a bollard is fixed and cooperating with a frame fixed to a box, the raising of which is ensured by a mechanism such as a jack in bearing on the bottom of the box and connected to said mobile assembly and further comprising locking and blocking devices in the high or low position of said mobile assembly and of its terminal, operated by a key cooperating with a lock, characterized in that said blocking device consists of an assembly comprising a central rocker and two blocking levers, pivotally mounted on either side of said central rocker, this assembly being located on the side of said movable assembly and extending in the direction of height of the frame, in that the ends of said rocker are in contact with one of the ends of each pivoting lever and in that the other ends of said le sinks are subjected to the action of springs bearing on the frame and tend to push back said levers so that, in an inclined position of the rocker communicated by operating said key, one or other of the levers is put in the blocking position high or low, said levers alternately snapping onto said mobile assembly for its momentary immobilization and correlatively that of the terminal, in a high or low position.

L'équipage mobile se compose d'une plaque circulaire à laquelle est fixée la borne et à laquelle sont en outre fixés deux supports s'étendant vers le bas et comportant des coulisseaux, qui coopèrent avec des glissières parallèles auxdits supports et fixées audit caisson. Dans un mode de réalisation, ledit ensemble basculeur/leviers est monté dans un profilé en U situé à 90° desdites glissières.The moving element consists of a circular plate to which the terminal is fixed and to which are further fixed two supports extending downwards and comprising slides, which cooperate with slides parallel to said supports and fixed to said box. In one embodiment, said rocker / lever assembly is mounted in a U-shaped section located at 90 ° to said slides.

Les glissières sont des profilés d'une section droite en U, dont la partie ouverte est située du côté de l'équipage mobile.The slides are profiles of a U-shaped cross section, the open part of which is located on the side of the moving assembly.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ledit ensemble basculeur/leviers est monté dans un desdits profilés constituant les glissières. Lesdits ressorts sont des ressorts de compression, chacun étant en partie engagé, d'une part, dans une alvéole dudit profilé et, d'autre part, dans un logement réservé à l'une des extrémités des leviers. Les autres extrémités desdits leviers comportant des faces inclinées, convergeant sur un point imaginaire situé du côté de l'équipage mobile, lesquelles faces inclinées des leviers coopérant avec les extrémités à faces inclinées du basculeur, lesquelles convergent ainsi du côté de l'équipage mobile sur un point situé sur une ligne passant par le centre de l'axe, auquel est fixé le basculeur et perpendiculaire à celui-ci, de telle sorte que simultanément au pivotement du basculeur, dans un sens ou dans l'autre et sous l'effet des ressorts, un des leviers se place en position de blocage, alors que l'autre se place en position effacée à l'intérieur du profilé.In another embodiment, said rocker / lever assembly is mounted in one of said sections constituting the slides. Said springs are compression springs, each being partly engaged, on the one hand, in a cell of said profile and, on the other hand, in a housing reserved for one of the ends of the levers. The other ends of said levers having inclined faces, converging on an imaginary point situated on the side of the moving element, which inclined faces of the levers cooperating with the ends with inclined faces of the rocker, which thus converge on the side of moving element on a point located on a line passing through the center of the axis, to which the rocker is fixed and perpendicular to it, so that simultaneously with the pivoting of the rocker, in one direction or the other and under the effect springs, one of the levers is placed in the locked position, while the other is placed in the erased position inside the profile.

Le pivotement du basculeur dans un sens ou dans l'autre, est commandé par une clé, laquelle clé coopère avec un verrou, situé à la partie supérieure dudit profilé, dans laquelle est monté l'ensemble basculeur/leviers, lequel verrou est fixé à l'extrémité d'un axe monté tournant sur des paliers, fixés audit profilé. Ledit axe comporte, à son autre extrémité, un cylindre comportant un ergot excentré, engagé dans une cavité réservée à l'extrémité libre d'un bras, fixé à l'axe du basculeur.The pivoting of the rocker in one direction or the other, is controlled by a key, which key cooperates with a latch, located at the upper part of said profile, in which is mounted the rocker / lever assembly, which latch is fixed to the end of an axis mounted rotating on bearings, fixed to said profile. Said axis comprises, at its other end, a cylinder comprising an eccentric pin, engaged in a cavity reserved for the free end of an arm, fixed to the axis of the rocker.

Ladite cavité est d'une section droite rectangulaire, et ledit ergot comporte, à son extrémité un galet sphérique qui coopère avec ladite cavité.Said cavity has a rectangular cross section, and said lug comprises, at its end a spherical roller which cooperates with said cavity.

Ledit profilé, dans lequel est monté l'ensemble basculeur/leviers, comporte à sa partie supérieure, une plaquette d'immobilisation de la clé, laquelle s'étend du côté du verrou à l'extérieur du profilé. La clé comporte une rainure périphérique et au-dessous de celle-ci, un méplat autorisant la mise en place de la clé sur le verrou, laquelle échappe lors de cette manoeuvre, à l'emprise de ladite plaquette. Ladite plaquette se place ensuite dans la rainure, après que la clé ait été manoeuvrée en rotation pour agir sur l'ensemble basculeur/leviers, en vue de bloquer l'équipage mobile et la borne en position escamotée.Said profile, in which the rocker / lever assembly is mounted, has at its upper part, a key immobilization plate, which extends from the side of the lock to the outside of the profile. The key has a peripheral groove and below this, a flat allowing the establishment of the key on the lock, which escapes during this operation, the grip of said plate. Said plate is then placed in the groove, after the key has been rotated to act on the rocker / lever assembly, in order to block the moving assembly and the terminal in the retracted position.

Dans un mode de réalisation, le verrou est fixé à l'extrémité supérieure de l'axe et comporte un corps cylindrique monté tournant dans une bague fixée audit profilé en U, lequel corps est prolongé par un bout d'arbre emmanché forcé dans une tête, comportant à sa partie supérieure, un ergot excentré. Ladite bague fixe et ladite tête comportent à leur périphérie, des alésages, situés sur un cercle de même diamètre, dans lesquels alésages sont disposées des broches : une première série de broches placées dans les alésages de la bague fixe et en appui sur des ressorts disposés dans le fond desdits alésages, et qui tendent à repousser les broches dans les alésages de la tête, à travers le plan de jonction de la bague et de la tête, et une deuxième série de broches disposées dans les alésages de la tête et mises au contact desdites broches de la bague fixe, lesquelles broches émergent à la périphérie de la tête.In one embodiment, the lock is fixed to the upper end of the axis and comprises a cylindrical body mounted to rotate in a ring fixed to said U-shaped profile, which body is extended by a shaft end forced into a head. , comprising at its upper part, an eccentric pin. Said fixed ring and said head comprise at their periphery, bores, located on a circle of the same diameter, in which bores are arranged pins: a first series of pins placed in the bores of the fixed ring and supported on springs arranged in the bottom of said bores, and which tend to push the pins into the bores of the head, through the junction plane of the ring and the head, and a second series of pins arranged in the bores of the head and placed contact of said pins of the fixed ring, which pins emerge at the periphery of the head.

Les alésages de la tête sont partiellement borgnes, de telle sorte que les broches sont en appui sur le fond des alésages sous l'action des autres broches de la bague fixe repoussées par lesdits ressorts.The bores of the head are partially blind, so that the pins are supported on the bottom of the bores under the action of the other pins of the fixed ring pushed back by said springs.

Ladite clé comporte un alésage de diamètre et de profondeur sensiblement égaux au diamètre et à la hauteur de la partie cylindrique de la tête, et dans le fond duquel alésage est réservé un logement cylindrique excentré, destiné à recevoir l'ergot excentré de ladite tête. La clé comporte en outre à sa périphérie, des encoches destinées à venir au contact des broches visibles, pour les repousser en exerçant une pression verticale et comprimer lesdits ressorts afin de mettre les faces en contact de toutes les broches desdites séries de broches dans le plan de jonction de la bague et de la tête et obtenir, en manoeuvrant la clé, la rotation de l'axe qui commande le pivotement du basculeur.Said key comprises a bore of diameter and depth substantially equal to the diameter and to the height of the cylindrical part of the head, and in the bottom of which bore is reserved an eccentric cylindrical housing, intended to receive the eccentric lug of said head. The key further comprises at its periphery, notches intended to come into contact with the visible pins, to push them back by exerting vertical pressure and compressing said springs so as to bring the faces into contact with all the pins of said series of pins in the plane junction of the ring and the head and obtain, by operating the key, the rotation of the axis which controls the pivoting of the rocker.

Lesdites encoches sont d'un contour rectangulaire, de hauteurs différentes, en fonction de la longueur desdites broches de la tête et encadrent étroitement les broches, lesquelles sont cylindriques.Said notches have a rectangular contour, of different heights, depending on the length of said head pins and tightly frame the pins, which are cylindrical.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un équipage mobile 40, monté coulissant sur un bâti 1 vertical, comprenant deux glissières 1₁/1₂ parallèles entre elles, et par exemple, d'une section droite en U, lesquelles sont boulonnées sur le caisson fixe 2 du dispositif par l'intermédiaire de deux plaques de fixation telles que 1b. Lesdites glissières 1₁/1₂ sont situées dans un même plan vertical parallèle à la direction du véhicule et s'étendent sur la quasi hauteur du caisson 2.The device according to the invention comprises a movable assembly 40, mounted to slide on a vertical frame 1, comprising two slides 1₁ / 1₂ parallel to each other, and for example, of a cross section in U, which are bolted to the fixed box 2 of the device by means of two fixing plates such as 1b. Said slides 1₁ / 1₂ are located in the same vertical plane parallel to the direction of the vehicle and extend over the almost height of the box 2.

Dans une desdites glissières 1₁, et dans un mode de réalisation, sont montés mobiles en rotation deux leviers de blocage 3 et 4, commandés par un basculeur central 5. Les axes de rotation respectifs 6/7/8 sont montés sur des paliers tels que celui référencé 9.In one of said slides 1₁, and in one embodiment, are mounted movable in rotation two locking levers 3 and 4, controlled by a central rocker 5. The respective axes of rotation 6/7/8 are mounted on bearings such that the one referenced 9.

Les axes 6 et 7 sont sur une même ligne parallèle à la glissières 1₁ et sont rapprochés de sa partie ouverte par rapport à l'axe 8 qui lui, est légèrement en retrait.The axes 6 and 7 are on the same line parallel to the slides 1₁ and are brought closer to its open part relative to the axis 8 which is slightly set back.

Les leviers 3 et 4 sont d'une section droite rectangulaire, sont identiques et sont chanfreinés à 30° en 3a et 4a. Leurs faces biaises coopèrent avec les faces chanfreinées à 45° 5a et 5b du basculeur 5. Ainsi, une des extrémités desdits leviers comporte des faces inclinées 3a/4a convergeant sur un point imaginaire situé du côté de l'équipage mobile 40, lesquelles faces inclinées 3a/4a des leviers coopérant avec les extrémités à faces inclinées 5a/5b du basculeur 5, lesquelles convergent aussi du côté de l'équipage mobile 40 sur un point situé sur une ligne passant par le centre de l'axe 8 auquel est fixé le basculeur, et perpendiculaire à celui-ci. Les leviers 3 et 4 comportent, chacun, à l'opposé desdites faces chanfreinées, un logement cylindrique 3b/4b recevant un ressort hélicoïdal respectivement 10 et 11, s'appuyant dans une alvéole 12/13 réservée dans le fond de la glissière 1₁.The levers 3 and 4 are of a rectangular cross section, are identical and are chamfered at 30 ° in 3a and 4a. Their oblique faces cooperate with the chamfered faces at 45 ° 5a and 5b of the rocker 5. Thus, one of the ends of said levers has inclined faces 3a / 4a converging on an imaginary point located on the side of the crew. mobile 40, which inclined faces 3a / 4a of the levers cooperating with the ends with inclined faces 5a / 5b of the rocker 5, which also converge on the side of the mobile assembly 40 at a point situated on a line passing through the center of the axis 8 to which the rocker is fixed, and perpendicular to it. The levers 3 and 4 each comprise, opposite said chamfered faces, a cylindrical housing 3b / 4b receiving a helical spring respectively 10 and 11, resting in a cell 12/13 reserved in the bottom of the slide 1₁.

A sa partie supérieure, la glissière 1₁ est obturée par un embout la recevant une plaquette 25 d'immobilisation de la clé, laquelle plaquette est démontable. L'axe 8 dépasse latéralement de la glissière 1₁ en 8a. Il est emmanché et soudé à un bras 14, de forme parallélépipédique.At its upper part, the slide 1₁ is closed by an end piece receiving a plate 25 for immobilizing the key, which plate is removable. The axis 8 projects laterally from the slide 1₁ at 8a. It is fitted and welded to an arm 14, of parallelepiped shape.

Ledit bras 14 comporte une cavité 14a également de forme parallélépipédique et débouchant à l'extérieur à sa partie supérieure et sur la face voisine de la glissière 1₁.Said arm 14 comprises a cavity 14a also of parallelepipedal shape and opening to the outside at its upper part and on the adjacent face of the slide 1₁.

Un ensemble d'axes à excentrique 15, parallèle au bâti 1 constitué par lesdites glissières 1₁/1₂ comprend un axe 16 proprement dit, sur lequel est soudé un cylindre 17, muni d'un ergot excentré 18, portant un galet sphérique 19. Ledit galet 19 collabore avec les faces intérieures latérales de l'encoche 14a (figure 4).A set of eccentric axes 15, parallel to the frame 1 constituted by said slides 1₁ / 1₂ comprises an axis 16 proper, on which is welded a cylinder 17, provided with an eccentric pin 18, carrying a spherical roller 19. Said roller 19 collaborates with the lateral internal faces of the notch 14a (FIG. 4).

L'ensemble est fixé à la glissière 1₁ par l'intermédiaire, d'une part d'un palier inférieur 20, comportant des coussinets 21 et une rondelle 22, bloquée par une goupille mécanindus, et d'autre part, d'un palier supérieur 23 recevant le cylindre interchangeable 24 ou verrou, lequel est fixé au moyen d'une goupille sur l'axe 16.The assembly is fixed to the slide 1₁ via, on the one hand a lower bearing 20, comprising bearings 21 and a washer 22, locked by a mechanical pin, and on the other hand, a bearing upper 23 receiving the interchangeable cylinder 24 or bolt, which is fixed by means of a pin on the axis 16.

Dans une première forme de réalisation, le cylindre 24 comporte une tête 26 multipans comprenant, par exemple trois, quatre, cinq ou six pans destinés à recevoir la clé femelle 30, comportant un nombre de pans en creux correspondant à celui de la tête 26.In a first embodiment, the cylinder 24 comprises a multi-panel head 26 comprising, for example three, four, five or hexagon intended to receive the female key 30, comprising a number of recessed panels corresponding to that of the head 26.

La clé porte une rainure périphérique 31 qui coopère avec ladite plaquette 25 d'immobilisation de la clé 30, laquelle plaquette est fixée à la partie supérieure de la glissière 1₁ et s'étend à l'extérieur de celle-ci du côté du verrou 24.The key carries a peripheral groove 31 which cooperates with said plate 25 for immobilizing the key 30, which plate is fixed to the upper part of the slide 1₁ and extends outside of the latter on the side of the lock 24 .

Ladite clé 30 comporte au-dessous de ladite rainure 31, un méplat 30a qui autorise l'introduction de la clé à fond, malgré la présence de ladite plaquette 25 qui dépasse de la glissière 1₁.Said key 30 comprises below said groove 31, a flat 30a which allows the introduction of the key fully, despite the presence of said plate 25 which protrudes from the slide 1₁.

L'équipage mobile 40 comporte à sa partie supérieure une plaque circulaire 40₁ sur la face supérieure de laquelle est fixée la borne 41, ainsi que deux supports 40₂ tubulaires, d'une section droite en U, fixés à sa partie inférieure et s'étendant vers le bas. Lesdits supports sont parallèles entre eux et auxdites glissières 1₁/1₂. Les supports 40₂ sont reliés à leur extrémité inférieure par deux traverses 40₃, fixées de part et d'autre pour ménager un passage à la tige du vérin 42. L'équipage comporte, en outre, des coulisseaux montés deux à deux sur chacun des supports 40₂, lesquels coopèrent avec lesdites glissières 1₁/1₂ pour guider l'ensemble équipage mobile/borne 40/41.The moving element 40 comprises at its upper part a circular plate 40₁ on the upper face of which is fixed the terminal 41, as well as two tubular supports 40₂, of a U-shaped cross section, fixed at its lower part and extending down. Said supports are parallel to each other and to said 1₁ / 1₂ slides. The supports 40₂ are connected at their lower end by two crosspieces 40₃, fixed on either side to provide a passage for the rod of the jack 42. The crew further comprises slides assembled in pairs on each of the supports 40₂, which cooperate with said slides 1₁ / 1₂ to guide the mobile assembly / terminal 40/41 assembly.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif comporte, en outre, un profilé en U 1₃ (figure 2) disposé à 90° des glissières 1₁/1₂ parallèlement à celles-ci. Ce profilé 1₃ est ainsi situé dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan dans lequel sont situées les glissières 1₁/1₂ et est boulonné comme ces dernières sur ledit caisson fixe 2 par l'intermédiaire de deux plaques de fixation 1b.In another embodiment, the device further comprises a U-shaped profile 1₃ (Figure 2) disposed at 90 ° from the slides 1₁ / 1₂ parallel to these. This profile 1₃ is thus located in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which the slides 1 situées / 1₂ are located and is bolted like the latter on said fixed box 2 by means of two fixing plates 1b.

Dans ce profilé 1₃ est monté un ensemble basculeur 5/leviers 3/4 de la même façon, tel que cela est décrit en référence à la figure 1, relative à la glissière 1₁. Ledit profilé comporte, comme ladite glissière, une plaquette d'arrêt 25 à sa partie supérieure.In this section 1₃ is mounted a rocker assembly 5 / levers 3/4 in the same way, as described with reference to Figure 1, relating to the slide 1₁. Said profile comprises, like said slide, a stop plate 25 at its upper part.

Dans le but d'alléger la description, on ne décrira pas en détail les composants dudit ensemble basculeur/leviers, lesquels sont identiques dans les deux formes de réalisation et coopèrent de la même façon, en vue de réaliser le même résultat.In order to simplify the description, the components of said rocker / lever assembly will not be described in detail, which are identical in the two embodiments and cooperate in the same way, in order to achieve the same result.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif selon l'invention est le suivant:
   L'équipage mobile 40 étant en position haute (figure 2 et figure 6a), la rotation de la clé 30 (flèche R) entraîne celle du galet excentré 19 dans son encoche 14a. Ladite rotation fait tourner le bras 14 dans le sens de la flèche S (figure 4). Le basculeur 5 oscille également dans le sens S (figure 1).The operation of the device according to the invention is as follows:
The moving element 40 being in the high position (FIG. 2 and FIG. 6a), the rotation of the key 30 (arrow R) causes that of the eccentric roller 19 in its notch 14a. Said rotation rotates the arm 14 in the direction of the arrow S (FIG. 4). The rocker 5 also oscillates in the direction S (Figure 1).

Le contact 5k entre les faces coopérantes 5a et 3a du basculeur 5 et du levier de blocage 3, articulés respectivement autour des axes 8 et 6, fait pivoter le levier supérieur 3 dans le sens de la flèche T comprimant ainsi le ressort 10. L'équipage mobile 40 est libéré et peut descendre.The contact 5k between the cooperating faces 5a and 3a of the rocker 5 and of the locking lever 3, articulated respectively around the axes 8 and 6, causes the upper lever 3 to pivot in the direction of the arrow T thus compressing the spring 10. The mobile crew 40 is released and can go down.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté aux figures 6a et 6b, un dispositif escamotable tel qu'une borne d'interdiction cylindrique 41, mobile verticalement grâce à un mécanisme 42, par exemple constitué par un vérin à gaz.For example, there is shown in Figures 6a and 6b, a retractable device such as a cylindrical prohibition terminal 41, movable vertically by a mechanism 42, for example constituted by a gas cylinder.

La rotation de la clé 30 a donc libéré le lever 3. La clé est alors prisonnière grâce à la plaquette 25 (figure 3), qui coopère avec la rainure 31. La borne peut descendre par simple pression sur sa face supérieure (flèche Z) ou par action d'un mécanisme non représenté.The rotation of the key 30 has therefore released the lever 3. The key is then trapped by the plate 25 (Figure 3), which cooperates with the groove 31. The terminal can descend by simple pressure on its upper face (arrow Z) or by the action of a mechanism not shown.

Le levier 4 est dans la position de blocage représentée aux figures 1 et 6b. L'équipage mobile 40, en fin de course descendante, frotte alors sur la face avant du levier 4 en position sortie, puis le fait pivoter dans le sens de la flèche W (figure 2), en comprimant le ressort 11.The lever 4 is in the locking position shown in Figures 1 and 6b. The moving element 40, at the end of the downward stroke, then rubs on the front face of the lever 4 in the extended position, then rotates it in the direction of the arrow W (FIG. 2), compressing the spring 11.

En position extrême inférieure, la plaque 40₁ de l'équipage mobile 40 échappe à l'extrémité du levier 4 (figure 1). Il y a alors encliquetage automatique, le ressort en se décomprimant repousse le levier 4 dans le sens de la flèche U. L'équipage mobile 40 est bloqué en position basse. La rotation en sens inverse de la clé fait tourner le basculeur dans le sens S′ (figure 2), le levier 4 tourne dans le sens W, libérant l'équipage 40 et comprimant le ressort 11. L'équipage peut remonter dans le sens de la flèche Y sous l'effet du mécanisme 42. Vers la fin de la course haute, l'équipage 40 arrive en 40a (figure 2). Il y a encliquetage automatique (position 40h), le levier 3, sous l'action du ressort 10 (flèche V), bloque l'équipage en position haute. La clé échappant à l'emprise de la plaquette 25 peut alors être récupérée par l'usager.In the extreme lower position, the plate 40₁ of the moving element 40 escapes from the end of the lever 4 (FIG. 1). There is then automatic latching, the spring decompressing pushes the lever 4 in the direction of arrow U. The moving element 40 is locked in the low position. The rotation in the opposite direction of the key turns the rocker in the direction S ′ (figure 2), the lever 4 turns in the direction W, releasing the crew 40 and compressing the spring 11. The crew can go back in the direction of the arrow Y under the effect of the mechanism 42. Towards the end of the upper stroke, the crew 40 arrives at 40a (FIG. 2). There is automatic latching (position 40h), the lever 3, under the action of the spring 10 (arrow V), blocks the crew in the high position. The key escaping from the grip of the plate 25 can then be recovered by the user.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le moyen de manoeuvre de l'axe 16 est constitué (figure 5a) par un verrou 50 manoeuvré par une clé à pipe 70 (figure 5b). Le verrou 50 est d'une forme générale cylindrique et comprend essentiellement une bague 51, immobilisée en rotation par un plat 80 fixé à la glissière 1₁ ou au profilé 1₃. La bague 51 comporte un alésage 52 recevant un axe mobile 61 goupillé sur l'axe 16 et comportant un corps cylindrique 62.In another embodiment, the maneuvering means of the axis 16 is constituted (FIG. 5a) by a latch 50 operated by a pipe wrench 70 (FIG. 5b). The lock 50 is of a generally cylindrical shape and essentially comprises a ring 51, immobilized in rotation by a flat 80 fixed to the slide 1₁ or to the profile 1₃. The ring 51 has a bore 52 receiving a movable axis 61 pinned on the axis 16 and comprising a cylindrical body 62.

Des alésages périphériques 53, parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du verrou 50, par exemple aux nombres de trois, quatre ou cinq, reçoivent une première série de broches cylindriques 54, de longueur différente, poussées par le haut par des ressorts 55. Une tête 56 comprend un alésage central 57 et est percée de plusieurs alésages périphériques 58 partiellement borgnes en 56b, également parallèles à l'axe longitudinal dudit verrou, lesquels sont situés sur un cercle de diamètre identique à celui des alésages 53, et reçoivent une deuxième série de broches cylindriques 59. Ces broches 59, de longueur différente, débouchent partiellement à l'extérieur de la tête 56, laquelle comporte en partie haute une partie cylindrique 56a de diamètre réduit, lesdites broches 59 sont en butée en 56b sur ladite tête et sont visibles à la périphérie de la tête 56. Le dépassement visible J peut être variable d'une broche à l'autre ou d'un verrou a l'autre. La partie supérieure de la bague 56a reçoit un ergot excentré 60, emmanché forcé. Ledit corps 62 comporte un alésage 63 destiné à recevoir l'axe 16 décrit précédemment. Le corps 62 comporte, en outre, un axe 64 tournant dans l'alésage 52 prolongé par un bout d'arbre 65 de plus petit diamètre que l'axe 64 et emmanché forcé dans la tête 56. La clé 70 comprend essentiellement un corps 71 comportant un alésage 72 de diamètre correspondant à la partie 56a de la tête 56, lequel est d'une profondeur sensiblement égale à la hauteur de ladite partie 56a et comporte, dans son fond, un logement cylindrique excentré 73 pour recevoir l'ergot 60 lorsqu'on place la clé sur le verrou 50.Peripheral bores 53, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the latch 50, for example three, four or five, receive a first series of cylindrical pins 54, of length different, pushed from above by springs 55. A head 56 comprises a central bore 57 and is pierced by several peripheral bores 58 partially blind at 56b, also parallel to the longitudinal axis of said lock, which are located on a circle of diameter identical to that of the bores 53, and receive a second series of cylindrical pins 59. These pins 59, of different length, partially open outside of the head 56, which comprises in the upper part a cylindrical part 56a of reduced diameter, said pins 59 are in abutment at 56b on said head and are visible at the periphery of head 56. The visible overhang J can be variable from one pin to another or from one lock to another. The upper part of the ring 56a receives an eccentric pin 60, forcibly fitted. Said body 62 includes a bore 63 intended to receive the axis 16 described above. The body 62 further comprises an axis 64 rotating in the bore 52 extended by a shaft end 65 of smaller diameter than the axis 64 and forced fitting into the head 56. The key 70 essentially comprises a body 71 comprising a bore 72 of diameter corresponding to the part 56a of the head 56, which is of a depth substantially equal to the height of said part 56a and comprises, at its bottom, an eccentric cylindrical housing 73 for receiving the lug 60 when 'the key is placed on the latch 50.

La clé 70 comporte, à sa périphérie, des encoches rectangulaires 74/74a...., de hauteur variable, laquelle peut être nulle pour l'une d'entre elles, et qui correspondent aux broches 59. Lesdites encoches 74/74a encadrent étroitement lesdites broches 59.The key 70 has, at its periphery, rectangular notches 74 / 74a ...., of variable height, which may be zero for one of them, and which correspond to pins 59. Said notches 74 / 74a frame closely said pins 59.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant :
   La mise en place de la clé 70 autour de la partie cylindrique 56a et l'introduction de l'ergot 60 permettent de positionner les encoches 74, 74a autour des broches visibles 59. Par simple pression dans le sens de la flèche Q, le contact des encoches 74 et des broches 59 provoque la descente de celles-ci. Les broches 59 poussent alors les broches antagonistes 54 en comprimant les ressorts 55. Les différentes pièces sont de dimensions telles qu'en fin de pression verticale, toutes les faces en contact des broches 59 et 54 soient dans le plan de jonction P, ce qui permet la rotation R de l'ensemble 56/61 par rapport à la bague fixe 51.The operation of the device is as follows:
The introduction of the key 70 around the cylindrical part 56a and the introduction of the lug 60 make it possible to position the notches 74, 74a around the visible pins 59. By simple pressure in the direction of the arrow Q, the contact notches 74 and pins 59 cause the latter to descend. The pins 59 then push the opposing pins 54 by compressing the springs 55. The different parts are of dimensions such that at the end of vertical pressure, all the faces in contact with the pins 59 and 54 are in the junction plane P, which allows rotation R of the assembly 56/61 relative to the fixed ring 51.

La clé 70 est alors prisonnière dans les mêmes conditions que celles énoncées lors de la description de la clé 30. Ladite 70 comporte ainsi une rainure périphérique 75 et un méplat 76 situé au-dessous de cette rainure. En jouant sur le nombre de broches, leur diamètre, leurs positions respectives et relatives, leur dépassement J, leur longueur, le diamètre et la position de l'ergot 60, on obtient un nombre suffisant de clés personnalisées. En modifiant la longueur des leviers de blocage 3 et 4 du côté des logements 3b et 4b dans lesquels sont disposés les ressorts 11/12, il est possible de modifier la course de l'équipage mobile.The key 70 is then trapped under the same conditions as those set out during the description of the key 30. Said 70 thus comprises a peripheral groove 75 and a flat 76 located below this groove. By playing on the number of pins, their diameter, their respective and relative positions, their protrusion J, their length, the diameter and the position of the lug 60, a sufficient number of personalized keys is obtained. By modifying the length of the locking levers 3 and 4 on the side of the housings 3b and 4b in which the springs 11/12 are arranged, it is possible to modify the stroke of the mobile assembly.
