Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage d'un tiroir à poignée de manoeuvre fixe solidaire de la face avant du tiroir.The invention relates to a device for locking a drawer with a fixed operating handle integral with the front face of the drawer.

On connaît déjà des dispositifs de verrouillage de tiroir comprenant au moins un pêne demi-tour monté sur le tiroir, mobile en translation longitudinale perpendiculairement à la direction de mouvement du tiroir et s'étendant en saillie à l'extérieur du gabarit du tiroir pour coopérer avec un épaulement ou une gâche du dormant du meuble ou du châssis sur lequel le tiroir est monté. Egalement, un tel dispositif comporte en général des moyens de rappel du pêne en position extrême de verrouillage et des moyens de commande du déverrouillage accessibles depuis la face avant du tiroir.Drawer locking devices are already known comprising at least one latch bolt mounted on the drawer, movable in longitudinal translation perpendicular to the direction of movement of the drawer and extending projecting outside the template of the drawer to cooperate with a shoulder or a strike from the frame of the furniture or the frame on which the drawer is mounted. Also, such a device generally comprises means for returning the bolt to the extreme locking position and unlocking control means accessible from the front face of the drawer.

Ces dispositifs permettent de verrouiller automatiquement le tiroir lorsqu'il vient en position de fermeture. De tels dispositifs de verrouillage sont par exemple utilisés pour maintenir verrouillés les tiroirs des meubles mobiles à tiroirs de grande longueur susceptibles de contenir de fortes charges tels qu'on les rencontre par exemple dans le domaine des tiroirs de rangement d'outils ou d'accessoires utilisés dans les ateliers d'usinage ou autres. En effet, on évite ainsi un effet d'entraînement en cas de début de basculement intempestif du meuble qui apparaît lorsqu'un ou plusieurs tiroirs est déployé en position d'ouverture et que la charge qu'il supporte engendre un moment de basculement du meuble vers l'avant.These devices allow the drawer to be automatically locked when it comes to the closed position. Such locking devices are for example used to keep locked the drawers of movable furniture with drawers of great length capable of containing heavy loads such as are encountered for example in the field of tool or accessory storage drawers used in machine shops or other. This is because a knock-on effect is avoided in the event of the untimely start of tilting of the piece of furniture which appears when one or more drawers is deployed in the open position and the load which it supports generates a moment of tilting of the piece of furniture. forward.

Ainsi, la demande de brevet européen 0 154 605 décrit un dispositif de verrouillage dont le pêne mobile en translation longitudinale perpendiculaire à la direction de mouvement du tiroir est commandé par un bouton qui dépasse de la face avant du tiroir. Dans un tel dispositif, le déverrouillage est obtenu en poussant sur le bouton vers l'arrière du tiroir. Une telle action est donc effectuée en sens contraire au mouvement de traction qui permet ensuite l'ouverture du tiroir. On comprend donc que le déverrouillage et l'ouverture du tiroir nécessitent des manoeuvres en sens opposés et nécessitent en pratique l'usage des deux mains. De plus, un logement spécifique doit être prévu dans le coin avant latéral du tiroir pour guider et supporter le bouton et le pêne coulissant.Thus, European patent application 0 154 605 describes a locking device whose bolt movable in longitudinal translation perpendicular to the direction of movement of the drawer is controlled by a button which protrudes from the front of the drawer. In such a device, unlocking is obtained by pushing the button towards the rear of the drawer. Such an action is therefore carried out in the opposite direction to the pulling movement which then allows the drawer to open. It is therefore understood that unlocking and opening the drawer require operations in opposite directions and in practice require the use of two hands. In addition, a specific housing must be provided in the front side corner of the drawer to guide and support the knob and the sliding bolt.

Le brevet US-A-1 934 397 décrit un mécanisme de verrouillage pour tiroir monté sur la face avant du tiroir derrière une poignée conventionnelle, et comprenant une barre de verrouillage s'étendant derrière la face du tiroir, dont une extrémité forme un pêne tandis que l'autre extrémité est associée à une gâchette traversant une lumière de la face avant du tiroir. Ce mécanisme est complexe, coûteux, et n'est pas ergonomique puisque la manipulation de la gachette n'est pas naturelle lorsque la main tire sur la poignée. Il nécessite donc une manipulation spécifique d'un ou plusieurs doigts pour le déverrouillage. De plus, pour le montage, il est nécessaire d'usiner et de réaliser une face avant spécifique du tiroir, de sorte que ce mécanisme ne peut pas être adapté à un tiroir existant.US-A-1,934,397 describes a locking mechanism for a drawer mounted on the front face of the drawer behind a conventional handle, and comprising a locking bar extending behind the face of the drawer, one end of which forms a bolt while that the other end is associated with a trigger passing through a lumen from the front face of the drawer. This mechanism is complex, expensive, and is not ergonomic since the manipulation of the trigger is not natural when the hand pulls on the handle. It therefore requires specific manipulation of one or more fingers to unlock. In addition, for mounting, it is necessary to machine and produce a specific front face of the drawer, so that this mechanism cannot be adapted to an existing drawer.

On connaît par ailleurs des meubles à tiroirs - notamment des meubles de rangement d'outils ou d'accessoires d'ateliers d'usinage- dont les tiroirs comportent une poignée de manoeuvre fixe qui comprend une face de traction du tiroir globalement orientée vers l'arrière du tiroir et délimitée par au moins un bord s'étendant parallèlement à la face avant du tiroir, un espace creux s'étendant au moins derrière la face de traction pour le passage de la main. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la poignée est formée d'un profilé rapporté sur la face avant de chaque tiroir et qui s'étend donc en saillie par rapport à cette face avant et à la face avant du meuble. Ces poignées en saillie constituent ainsi un risque pour les utilisateurs qui peuvent se cogner ou s'accrocher ou plus simplement être gênés par ces poignées.There are also known drawers - in particular furniture for storing tools or machine shop accessories - the drawers of which have a fixed operating handle which comprises a pulling face of the drawer generally oriented towards the rear of the drawer and delimited by at least one edge extending parallel to the front face of the drawer, a hollow space extending at least behind the traction face for the passage of the hand. In a mode of particular embodiment, the handle is formed from a profile attached to the front face of each drawer and which therefore extends projecting with respect to this front face and to the front face of the cabinet. These protruding handles thus constitute a risk for users who may bump or hang on or more simply be bothered by these handles.

L'invention vise donc à remédier à ces inconvénients des dispositifs de verrouillage, des tiroirs et des meubles à tiroirs de l'art antérieur.The invention therefore aims to remedy these drawbacks of locking devices, drawers and drawers of the prior art.

Ainsi, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de verrouillage pour tiroir qui permette le déverrouillage du tiroir et son ouverture à l'aide d'une seule main grâce à des manoeuvres simples s'effectuant dans des sens non contradictoires. Plus particulièrement, l'invention a pour objet de proposer un dispositif de verrouillage qui puisse être actionné de façon simple et sûre lors du déverrouillage et qui soit mieux adapté à l'ouverture ultérieure du tiroir. Egalement, l'invention a pour objet de proposer un tel dispositif de verrouillage simple et peu coûteux, notamment qui ne nécessite pas de logement spécifique prévu à cet effet dans le tiroir et puisse être fabriqué avec un nombre de pièces minimum, chaque pièce étant simple à fabriquer. L'invention a également pour objet de proposer un tel dispositif de verrouillage qui puisse être installé aisément et sans modification sur un tiroir connu -notamment dans une poignée de tiroir connue-. Et l'invention a également pour objet de proposer un tel dispositif de verrouillage qui soit particulièrement esthétique, c'est-à-dire dont le mécanisme est invisible de l'extérieur.Thus, the subject of the invention is a locking device for a drawer which allows the drawer to be unlocked and opened with one hand using simple maneuvers carried out in non-contradictory directions. More particularly, the object of the invention is to provide a locking device which can be actuated in a simple and secure manner during unlocking and which is better suited to the subsequent opening of the drawer.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage pour un tiroir 1 dont la poignée de manoeuvre fixe 2 comprend une face de traction 3 du tiroir globalement orientée vers l'arrière du tiroir 1 et délimitée par au moins un bord 4 s'étendant parallèlement à la face avant 5 du tiroir 1, un espace creux 6 s'étendant au moins derrière la face de traction 3 pour le passage de la main. La poignée 2 est rapportée sur la face avant 5 du tiroir .The invention relates to a locking device for a drawer 1, the stationary operating handle 2 of which comprises a traction face 3 of the drawer generally oriented towards the rear of the drawer 1 and delimited by at least one edge 4 extending parallel to the front face 5 of drawer 1, a hollow space 6 extending at least behind the traction face 3 for the passage of the hand. The handle 2 is attached to the front face 5 of the drawer.

Dans toute la suite, on suppose que le tiroir 1 coulisse horizontalement, bien que l'invention soit applicable à toute autre configuration. Dans toute la présente demande, les termes "avant", et "arrière" se réfèrent à la direction de coulissement du tiroir 1.In the following, it is assumed that the drawer 1 slides horizontally, although the invention is applicable to any other configuration. Throughout the present application, the terms "front" and "rear" refer to the sliding direction of the drawer 1.

La face de traction 3 est une face de la poignée 2 qui s'étend au moins sensiblement parallèlement à la face avant du tiroir, qui est tournée vers l'arrière et sur laquelle les doigts prennent appui en vue de la manoeuvre d'ouverture du tiroir par traction vers l'avant. En supposant que le tiroir de la poignée 2 s'étend horizontalement, le bord 4 de la face de traction 3 est le bord inférieur horizontal de la poignée 2 et de la face de traction 3 accessible par dessous lorsque l'ouverture 7 de la poignée formée par la face de traction 3 est orientée vers le bas comme représenté sur les figures.The traction face 3 is a face of the handle 2 which extends at least substantially parallel to the front face of the drawer, which is turned towards the rear and on which the fingers bear in view of the maneuver drawer opening by pulling forward. Assuming that the drawer of the handle 2 extends horizontally, the edge 4 of the traction face 3 is the horizontal lower edge of the handle 2 and of the traction face 3 accessible from below when the opening 7 of the handle formed by the traction face 3 is oriented downwards as shown in the figures.

Le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention comprend un pêne 8 mobile en translation parallèlement audit bord 4 de la face de traction pour coopérer avec un épaulement ou une gâche 9 formé sur le dormant 10 supportant le tiroir 1. Le dispositif de verrouillage comprend également des moyens 11 de commande du déverrouillage disposés de façon à pouvoir être manoeuvrés depuis à l'extérieur de la face avant 5 du tiroir 1.The locking device according to the invention comprises a bolt 8 movable in translation parallel to said edge 4 of the traction face to cooperate with a shoulder or a keeper 9 formed on the frame 10 supporting the drawer 1. The locking device also comprises unlocking control means 11 arranged so that they can be operated from outside the front face 5 of the drawer 1.

Selon l'invention, les moyens 11 de commande du déverrouillage sont associés rigidement au pêne 8, mobiles en translation avec et comme le pêne 8 et disposés immédiatement derrière la face de traction 3 de la poignée 2. Les moyens 11 de commande du déverrouillage sont donc essentiellement intégrés dans et masqués par la poignée 2, et sont actionnés par un léger mouvement latéral (c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement du tiroir) de la main insérée dans l'espace creux 6 derrière la poignée 2.According to the invention, the means 11 for controlling the unlocking are rigidly associated with the bolt 8, movable in translation with and like the bolt 8 and arranged immediately behind the traction face 3 of the handle 2. The means 11 for controlling the unlocking are therefore essentially integrated into and masked by the handle 2, and are actuated by a slight lateral movement (that is to say perpendicular to the direction of sliding of the drawer) of the hand inserted in the hollow space 6 behind the handle 2 .

Selon l'invention, le pêne 8 est porté et guidé par et saille d'une paroi latérale 12 de la poignée 2 qui est elle-même montée sur la face avant 5 du tiroir 1. Cette paroi latérale 12 est donc située à une extrémité libre latérale 13 de la poignée 2 dans un plan vertical latéral voisin ou confondu avec le plan de la paroi latérale 14 correspondante du tiroir 1. Le pêne 8 traverse un orifice 15 ménagé dans la paroi latérale 12 de la poignée 2, le contour de cet orifice correspondant à la forme extérieure de ce pêne 8.According to the invention, the bolt 8 is carried and guided by and protrudes from a side wall 12 of the handle 2 which is itself mounted on the front face 5 of the drawer 1. This side wall 12 is therefore located at one end lateral free 13 of the handle 2 in a neighboring vertical vertical plane or coincident with the plane of the corresponding lateral wall 14 of the drawer 1. The bolt 8 passes through an orifice 15 formed in the lateral wall 12 of the handle 2, the contour of this orifice corresponding to the external shape of this bolt 8.

Selon l'invention, les moyens 11 de commande du déverrouillage sont constitués d'une gâchette 11 reliée au pêne 8 par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce de liaison 16 qui s'étend immédiatement derrière la face de traction 3 entre la gâchette 11 et le pêne 8 et qui a une forme correspondant à celle de la face de traction 3 et est creusée de façon à ne pas gêner le passage des doigts derrière la face de traction 3. Cette pièce de liaison 16 associe rigidement la gâchette 11 au pêne 8 tout en maintenant la gâchette 11 à distance du pêne 8.According to the invention, the unlocking control means 11 consist of a trigger 11 connected to the bolt 8 by means of a connecting piece 16 which extends immediately behind the traction face 3 between the trigger 11 and the bolt 8 and which has a shape corresponding to that of the traction face 3 and is hollowed out so as not to hinder the passage of the fingers behind the traction face 3. This connecting piece 16 rigidly associates the trigger 11 with the bolt 8 while keeping the trigger 11 at a distance from the bolt 8.

Selon l'invention, le pêne 8 étant guidé par et saillant à l'extérieur de la paroi latérale 12 de la poignée 2, la distance d séparant la gâchette 11 de l'extrémité libre 17 du bord 4 de la face de traction 3 qui est située du côté de ladite paroi latérale 12, est supérieure à la largeur moyenne d'une main. Cette distance d est supérieure selon l'invention à 8 cm, et est notamment de l'ordre de 8 à 10 cm.According to the invention, the bolt 8 being guided by and projecting outside the side wall 12 of the handle 2, the distance d separating the trigger 11 from the free end 17 of the edge 4 of the traction face 3 which is located on the side of said side wall 12, is greater than the average width of a hand. According to the invention, this distance d is greater than 8 cm, and is in particular of the order of 8 to 10 cm.

Selon l'invention, la pièce de liaison 16 est constituée d'un profilé ayant une forme générale de gorge, c'est-à-dire de section droite transversale concave, dont l'ouverture est orientée dans le même sens que l'ouverture 7 et la poignée 2. De la sorte, les doigts de l'utilisateur peuvent être insérés dans cette pièce de liaison 16. Et la poignée 2 selon l'invention est constituée également d'un profilé en forme générale de gorge dont la section droite transversale est concave, notamment en forme générale de U, de V, de C ou équivalent, et dont l'ouverture 7 est orientée vers le bas (comme représentée sur les figures), la face de traction 3 étant constituée d'une face interne d'une aile avant 18 de ce profilé. Le dispositif de verrouillage, c'est-à-dire notamment la gâchette 11 et la pièce de liaison 16, est entièrement intégré dans, porté par, guidé par et associé à ce profilé. Selon l'invention, la forme de la section droite transversale du profilé constituant la pièce de liaison 16 et la forme de la section droite transversale constituant le profilé formant la poignée 2 sont similaires. Plus précisément, la pièce de liaison 16 a une forme correspondant au profil interne du profilé 2 formant la poignée, et cette pièce de liaison 16 épouse ce profil interne aux jeux de fonctionnement près.According to the invention, the connecting piece 16 consists of a profile having a general shape of groove, that is to say of concave cross section, the opening of which is oriented in the same direction as the opening 7 and the handle 2. In this way, the user's fingers can be inserted into this connecting piece 16. And the handle 2 according to the invention also consists of a profile in the general shape of a groove whose cross section transverse is concave, in particular in the general shape of U, V, C or equivalent, and the opening 7 of which is oriented downwards (as shown in the figures), the traction face 3 being constituted by an internal face a front wing 18 of this profile. The locking device, that is to say in particular the trigger 11 and the connecting piece 16, is fully integrated in, carried by, guided by and associated with this profile. According to the invention, the shape of the cross section of the profile constituting the connecting piece 16 and the shape of the cross section forming the profile forming the handle 2 are similar. More specifically, the connecting piece 16 has a shape corresponding to the internal profile of the profile 2 forming the handle, and this connecting piece 16 follows this internal profile apart from the operating clearances.

La forme de la section droite transversale du profilé formant la poignée 2 et la forme de la section droite transversale du profilé formant la pièce de liaison 16 sont représentées sur les figures 5 et 6. Ainsi, la section droite transversale du profilé formant le poignée est constituée d'une aile plane arrière 19 associée rigidement contre la face avant 5 du tiroir 1 et d'une aile courbe avant 18 s'étendant à partir du bord supérieur 20 de l'aile plane arrière 19 vers l'avant et vers le bas, le bord inférieur 4 de cette aile courbe avant 18 constituant le bord 4 de la face de traction 3. La face de traction 3 est constituée de la face interne de cette aile courbe avant 18. Le bord inférieur 4 de l'aile courbe avant 18 est au moins sensiblement à la même hauteur que le bord inférieur 21 de l'aile plane arrière 19.The shape of the cross section of the profile forming the handle 2 and the shape of the cross section of the profile forming the connecting piece 16 are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Thus, the cross section of the profile forming the handle is consisting of a rear flat wing 19 rigidly associated against the front face 5 of the drawer 1 and a front curved wing 18 extending from the upper edge 20 of the rear flat wing 19 forwards and downwards , the lower edge 4 of this front curved wing 18 constituting the edge 4 of the traction face 3. The traction face 3 consists of the internal face of this front curved wing 18. The lower edge 4 of the front curved wing 18 is at least substantially at the same height as the lower edge 21 of the rear flat wing 19.

De même, la section droite transversale de la pièce de liaison 16 est constituée d'une aile plane arrière 22 venant contre l'aile plane arrière 19 de la poignée 2 et d'une aile courbe avant 23 s'étendant à partir du bord supérieur 24 de l'aile plane arrière 22 vers l'avant et vers le bas, le bord inférieur 25 de l'aile courbe avant 23 venant au moins sensiblement à la même hauteur que le bord inférieur 26 de l'aile plane arrière 22. L'aile courbe avant 23 de la pièce de liaison 16 vient contre la face interne courbe de l'aile courbe avant 18 de la poignée 2, et ces deux ailes courbes avant 18, 23 ont au moins sensiblement la même forme et la même courbure.Similarly, the cross section of the connecting piece 16 consists of a rear flat wing 22 coming against the rear flat wing 19 of the handle 2 and a front curved wing 23 extending from the upper edge 24 of the rear flat wing 22 forwards and downwards, the lower edge 25 of the front curved wing 23 coming at least approximately at the same height as the lower edge 26 of the rear flat wing 22. L the curved front wing 23 of the connecting piece 16 comes against the curved internal face of the front curved wing 18 of the handle 2, and these two curved front wings 18, 23 have at least substantially the same shape and the same curvature.

L'aile courbe avant 18 de la poignée 2 comporte par ailleurs un retour d'aile 27 supérieur et un retour d'aile 28 inférieur s'étendant vers l'extérieur pour former des rainures pouvant servir à maintenir une ou plusieurs étiquettes 45 sur la face extérieure 29 de la poignée 2.The front curved wing 18 of the handle 2 also comprises an upper wing return 27 and a lower wing return 28 extending outwardly to form grooves which can serve to hold one or more labels 45 on the outer face 29 of the handle 2.

L'extrémité latérale 30 de la pièce de liaison 16 du côté de la paroi latérale 12 de la poignée 2 est prolongée par et associée rigidement au pêne 8. L'autre extrémité 31 de la pièce de liaison 16 est prolongée par et associée rigidement à la gâchette 11. La gâchette 11 est donc associée rigidement au pêne 8 par l'intermédiaire de la pièce de liaison 16. La gâchette 11 est constituée globalement d'une plaque qui vient combler le profil interne concave du profilé formant la poignée 2. Cette gâchette 11 s'étend donc essentiellement sur toute la section droite transversale de la poignée 2. Le contour périphérique de la plaque formant la gâchette 11 a donc au moins sensiblement la même forme que le profil interne du profilé formant la poignée 2.The lateral end 30 of the connecting piece 16 on the side of the lateral wall 12 of the handle 2 is extended by and rigidly associated with the bolt 8. The other end 31 of the connecting piece 16 is extended by and rigidly associated with the trigger 11. The trigger 11 is therefore rigidly associated with the bolt 8 via the connecting piece 16. The trigger 11 generally consists of a plate which fills the concave internal profile of the profile forming the handle 2. This trigger 11 therefore extends essentially over the entire cross section of the handle 2. The peripheral contour of the plate forming the trigger 11 therefore has at least substantially the same shape as the internal profile of the profile forming the handle 2.

Par ailleurs, selon l'invention, la gâchette 11 comporte un index 32 chevauchant le bord 4 inférieur de la face de traction 3 de façon à être visible de l'extérieur et à indiquer l'emplacement de la gâchette 11. Cet index 32 est constitué d'un prolongement vers l'avant vers le haut de la gâchette 11. L'index 32 a avantageusement une forme de flèche indiquant le sens dans lequel l'utilisateur doit agir pour déverrouiller le tiroir (figures 2a et 3).Furthermore, according to the invention, the trigger 11 has an index 32 overlapping the lower edge 4 of the traction face 3 so as to be visible from the outside and to indicate the location of the trigger 11. This index 32 is consisting of a forward extension towards the top of the trigger 11. The index 32 advantageously has an arrow shape indicating the direction in which the user must act to unlock the drawer (FIGS. 2a and 3).

Selon l'invention, le pêne 8 est un pêne demi-tour, et le dispositif comporte des moyens 17 de rappel du pêne 8 en position extrême de verrouillage. Ces moyens 17 de rappel sont associés à la poignée 2 dans l'espace creux 6 formé par le profilé formant la poignée 2. Les moyens 17 de rappel sont selon l'invention associés à la poignée 2 de façon à jouxter la gâchette 11 du côté opposé au pêne 8.According to the invention, the bolt 8 is a half-turn bolt, and the device comprises means 17 for returning the bolt 8 to the extreme locking position. These return means 17 are associated with the handle 2 in the hollow space 6 formed by the profile forming the handle 2. The means 17 of recall are according to the invention associated with the handle 2 so as to adjoin the trigger 11 on the side opposite to the bolt 8.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté et selon l'invention, les moyens 17 de rappel sont constitués d'un ressort spiral de compression logé dans un boîtier 33 monté solidaire de la poignée 2 et coopérant avec la gâchette 11 à l'opposé du pêne 8. Ainsi, le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention est monté sur et guidé par la poignée 2 d'un côté par l'orifice 15 de la paroi latérale 12 traversé par le pêne 8, et de l'autre côté par les moyens 17 de rappel dont le boîtier 33 est monté sur la poignée 2.In the embodiment shown and according to the invention, the return means 17 consist of a spiral compression spring housed in a housing 33 mounted integral with the handle 2 and cooperating with the trigger 11 opposite the bolt 8 Thus, the locking device according to the invention is mounted on and guided by the handle 2 on one side by the orifice 15 of the side wall 12 crossed by the bolt 8, and on the other side by the means 17 reminder, the housing 33 of which is mounted on the handle 2.

Conformément au mode de réalisation représenté et selon l'invention, le dispositif de verrouillage est constitué du boîtier 33 associé rigidement à la poignée 2, et renfermant les moyens 17 de rappel, de la gâchette 11 associée rigidement à un axe 34 porté et guidé par le boîtier 33 et coopérant avec les moyens 17 de rappel, du pêne 8 demi-tour porté et guidé par la paroi latérale 12 immédiatement derrière la face de traction 3 et de la pièce de liaison 16 reliant la gâchette 11 et le pêne 8. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, le boîtier 33 est associé rigidement à l'aile plane arrière 19 du profilé formant la poignée 2 par une vis sans tête 35 insérée dans un alésage 36 de cette aile plane 19 et coopérant avec un taraudage 37 ménagé dans la paroi correspondant du boîtier 33. En variante ou en combinaison, le boîtier 33 peut être encliqueté dans la poignée 2. Le ressort de compression 17 prend appui sur le fond 38 du boîtier 33. L'axe 34 associé rigidement à la gâchette 11 est inséré à l'intérieur du ressort de compression spirale 17 et comporte un épaulement 39 contre lequel vient appuyer le ressort 17.According to the embodiment shown and according to the invention, the locking device consists of the housing 33 rigidly associated with the handle 2, and containing the return means 17, the trigger 11 rigidly associated with an axis 34 carried and guided by the housing 33 and cooperating with the return means 17, the bolt 8 half-turn carried and guided by the side wall 12 immediately behind the traction face 3 and the connecting piece 16 connecting the trigger 11 and the bolt 8. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the housing 33 is rigidly associated with the rear flat wing 19 of the profile forming the handle 2 by a grub screw 35 inserted in a bore 36 of this flat wing 19 and cooperating with a tapping 37 formed in the corresponding wall of the housing 33. As a variant or in combination, the housing 33 can be snapped into the handle 2. The compression spring 17 bears on the bottom 38 of the housing housing 33. The axis 34 rigidly associated with the trigger 11 is inserted inside the spiral compression spring 17 and has a shoulder 39 against which the spring 17 comes to bear.

Par ailleurs, une butée 40 est prévue entre la paroi latérale 12 d'extrémité du profilé formant la poignée 2 et l'extrémité 30 latérale en regard de la pièce de liaison 16 afin de limiter les mouvements du pêne 8 vers l'extérieur sous l'effet des moyens 17 de rappel.Furthermore, a stop 40 is provided between the side wall 12 of the end of the profile forming the handle 2 and the lateral end 30 facing the connecting piece 16 in order to limit the movements of the bolt 8 outwards under the effect of the return means 17.

Le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention est applicable à une poignée de manoeuvre fixe selon l'invention d'un tiroir 1 destinée à être montée fixe sur la face avant 5 du tiroir et comprenant une face de traction 3 globalement orientée vers l'arrière du tiroir 1 et délimitée par au moins un bord 4 s'étendant parallèlement à la face avant 5 du tiroir 1, un espace creux 6 étant formé au moins derrière la face de traction 3 pour le passage de la main. La poignée selon l'invention comporte une paroi latérale 12 fermant le profilé d'un côté et cette paroi latérale 12 est munie d'un orifice de passage et de guidage 15 pour le pêne 8 comme décrit ci-dessus. La poignée 2 selon l'invention s'étend sur toute la largeur de la face avant 5 du tiroir 1 et au moins jusqu'à un bord latéral périphérique 41 de cette face avant 5, de sorte que le pêne 8 venant en saillie de la face latérale 12 vient coopérer avec le dormant 10 du meuble portant le tiroir 1.The locking device according to the invention is applicable to a fixed operating handle according to the invention of a drawer 1 intended to be fixedly mounted on the front face 5 of the drawer and comprising a traction face 3 generally oriented towards the rear of the drawer 1 and delimited by at least one edge 4 extending parallel to the front face 5 of the drawer 1, a hollow space 6 being formed at least behind the traction face 3 for the passage of the hand. The handle according to the invention comprises a side wall 12 closing the profile on one side and this side wall 12 is provided with a passage and guide orifice 15 for the bolt 8 as described above. The handle 2 according to the invention extends over the entire width of the front face 5 of the drawer 1 and at least up to a peripheral lateral edge 41 of this front face 5, so that the bolt 8 projecting from the lateral face 12 cooperates with the frame 10 of the piece of furniture carrying the drawer 1.

Le pêne 8 est un pêne demi-tour, c'est-à-dire qu'il comporte un biais 42 formant sa face arrière de façon que lorsque le tiroir 1 est poussé en position de fermeture, le biais 42 vienne coopérer avec le dormant 10 en provoquant le retrait du pêne 8 à l'intérieur de la poignée 2 à l'encontre des moyens 17 de rappel. Lorsque le pêne 8 a dépassé l'épaulement ou la gâche 9 du dormant 10, les moyens 17 de rappel repoussent le pêne 8 en position extrême de verrouillage représentée sur la figure 4. Sur cette figure, le dormant est représenté uniquement partiellement en traits pointillés.The bolt 8 is a U-bolt, that is to say that it has a bias 42 forming its rear face so that when the drawer 1 is pushed into the closed position, the bias 42 comes to cooperate with the frame 10 by causing the withdrawal of the bolt 8 inside the handle 2 against the return means 17. When the bolt 8 has exceeded the shoulder or the strike 9 of the frame 10, the return means 17 push the bolt 8 into the extreme locking position shown in FIG. 4. In this figure, the frame is shown only partially in dotted lines .

L'invention concerne également un tiroir 1 comportant un dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention, et un tiroir 1 comportant une poignée selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a drawer 1 comprising a locking device according to the invention, and a drawer 1 comprising a handle according to the invention.

L'invention concerne également un meuble à tiroir dont le dormant 10 comporte un cadre formant un épaulement ou une gâche 9 caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un tiroir selon l'invention, et en ce que la face avant 5 de chaque tiroir est, en position fermée du tiroir, en retrait vers l'intérieur par rapport à l'épaulement ou à gâche 9 du dormant 10, de façon que le pêne 8 porté par la poignée 2 vienne coopérer avec cet épaulement ou cette gâche 9 pour verrouiller le tiroir en position fermée. Ainsi, la poignée 2 elle-même vient en retrait au moins partiellement à l'intérieur du cadre 43 formé par le dormant 10, ce qui protège l'utilisateur. La face avant 5 de chaque tiroir 1 est également en retrait vers l'intérieur par rapport au cadre 43 formé par le dormant 10.The invention also relates to a drawer unit, the frame 10 of which comprises a frame forming a shoulder or a keeper 9, characterized in that it comprises a drawer according to the invention, and in that the front face 5 of each drawer is, in the closed position of the drawer, recessed inward relative to the shoulder or keeper 9 of the frame 10, so that the bolt 8 carried by the handle 2 comes to cooperate with this shoulder or this keeper 9 to lock the drawer in closed position. Thus, the handle 2 itself recedes at least partially inside the frame 43 formed by the frame 10, which protects the user. The front face 5 of each drawer 1 is also set back inwards relative to the frame 43 formed by the frame 10.

L'invention fonctionne de la façon suivante. Pour ouvrir un tiroir 1 à partir de sa position fermée verrouillée représentée sur la figure 4, l'utilisateur insère sa main par l'ouverture 7 dans l'espace creux 6 de la poignée 2 contre la face de traction 3. Dans un premier temps, il déplace latéralement (c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement à la direction de coulissement du tiroir) sa main contre la gâchette 11 et agit à l'encontre des moyens 17 de rappel parallèlement à la poignée 2 pour déverrouiller le pêne 8. Lorsque le pêne 8 est déverrouillé, il lui suffit alors simultanément de tirer sur la poignée 2, ses doigts étant en contact avec la face de traction 3 pour procéder à l'ouverture du tiroir.The invention operates as follows. To open a drawer 1 from its locked closed position shown in FIG. 4, the user inserts his hand through the opening 7 in the hollow space 6 of the handle 2 against the pulling face 3. Firstly , it moves laterally (that is to say perpendicular to the sliding direction of the drawer) his hand against the trigger 11 and acts against the return means 17 parallel to the handle 2 to unlock the bolt 8. When the bolt 8 is unlocked, it then suffices simultaneously to pull on the handle 2, its fingers being in contact with the traction face 3 to proceed with the opening of the drawer.

Le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention peut également comporter des moyens de serrure (non représentés) qui permettent de bloquer à l'aide d'une clé le pêne 8 en position verrouillée. Ces moyens de serrure peuvent être réalisés de toute façon appropriée, par exemple par un maneton venant coopérer avec un épaulement de l'axe 34 entre le gâchette 11 et le boîtier 33 des moyens 17 de rappel, le déplacement de ce maneton étant engendré par une serrure débouchant sur la face extérieure 29 de l'aile courbe avant 18 de la poignée 2.The locking device according to the invention may also include locking means (not shown) which allow the bolt 8 to be locked with a key in the locked position. These lock means can be made in any suitable way, for example by a crank pin coming to cooperate with a shoulder of the axis 34 between the trigger 11 and the housing 33 of the return means 17, the movement of this crank pin being generated by a lock opening onto the outer face 29 of the front curved wing 18 of the handle 2.

L'invention est applicable plus particulièrement aux tiroirs et aux meubles à tiroirs de rangement et de stockage d'outils et d'accessoires pour ateliers ou centres d'usinage.The invention is more particularly applicable to drawers and furniture with drawers for storing and storing tools and accessories for workshops or machining centers.
