The rod is connected by a cable (20) to the door handle, so that when the handle is turned the rod is retracted into the door, allowing the door to be closed.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour une porte, et plus particulièrement un dispositif de sécurité empêchant une fermeture accidentelle de la porte.The present invention relates to a security device for a door, and more particularly to a security device preventing accidental closing of the door.

Les portes communément utilisées comportent généralement un panneau articulé dans un cadre autour d'une articulation. Ce type de porte présente un risque d'accident important lorsque, pour une raison quelconque, le panneau articulé se ferme violemment dans le cadre. En effet, une personne, particulièrement un enfant, qui aurait la main posée sur le montant du cadre qui est opposé à l'articulation, risquerait de voir ses doigts violemment coincés entre ledit cadre et ledit panneau articulé.Commonly used doors generally have a panel hinged in a frame around a hinge. This type of door presents a significant risk of accident when, for whatever reason, the hinged panel closes violently in the frame. Indeed, a person, particularly a child, who has his hand placed on the upright of the frame which is opposed to the articulation, would risk having his fingers violently wedged between said frame and said articulated panel.

Il est bien connu dans l'état de la technique des dispositifs destinés à freiner la fermeture du panneau articulé de sorte que le risque de se coincer les doigts est fortement diminué. Toutefois ces dispositifs sont assez compliqués et chers à fabriquer puisqu'ils comportent souvent des moyens tels que des vérins pour réaliser le freinage. De même, ces dispositifs n'empêchent pas complètement la fermeture de la porte de sorte qu'une personne peut toujours se coincer la main entre le cadre et la porte.It is well known in the state of the art devices intended to brake the closing of the hinged panel so that the risk of trapping the fingers is greatly reduced. However, these devices are quite complicated and expensive to manufacture since they often include means such as jacks for performing braking. Likewise, these devices do not completely prevent the door from closing so that a person can still get their hand caught between the frame and the door.

Le document DE-C-341 286 divulgue un dispositif pour verrouiller une fenêtre en position ouverte. Toutefois, après déverrouillage de la fenêtre de sa position ouverte, rien ne l'empêche de se fermer complètement d'un coup en blessant quelqu'un.Document DE-C-341 286 discloses a device for locking a window in the open position. However, after unlocking the window from its open position, nothing prevents it from closing completely suddenly injuring someone.

Le document DE-A-26 14 822 divulgue un dispositif pour empêcher la fermeture complète accidentelle d'une porte, qui comporte un organe mobile déplaçable directement par l'utilisateur entre ses deux positions. Le dispositif n'est donc pas automatique et si la sécurité n'est pas enclenchée préalablement, le risque d'accident n'est pas supprimé.Document DE-A-26 14 822 discloses a device for preventing the accidental complete closing of a door, which comprises a movable member movable directly by the user between its two positions. The device is therefore not automatic and if safety is not activated beforehand, the risk of accident is not eliminated.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif de sécurité pour une porte qui soit simple et peu coûteux à réaliser. La présente invention a aussi pour but de fournir un tel dispositif de sécurité pour une porte qui empêche automatiquement une fermeture complète accidentelle de la porte. La présente invention a encore pour but de fournir un tel dispositif de sécurité pour une porte qui empêche automatiquement et à tous les coups que des doigts placés sur le cadre de la porte soient coincés accidentellement lors de la fermeture de celle-ci.The object of the present invention is to provide a security device for a door which is simple and inexpensive to produce. The present invention also aims to provide such a security device for a door which automatically prevents accidental complete closure of the door. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a safety device for a door which automatically and every time prevents fingers placed on the door frame from being accidentally trapped when the door is closed.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de sécurité pour empêcher automatiquement une fermeture complète accidentelle d'une porte comportant au moins un panneau muni d'un organe d'actionnement et articulé dans un cadre, caractérisé en ce que ledit dispositif comprend un organe mobile déplaçable entre une position de sécurité, dans laquelle il empêche la fermeture complète de la porte et une position de fermeture dans laquelle la porte peut être fermée, ledit organe mobile étant relié audit organe d'actionnement de telle sorte que l'actionnement de l'organe d'actionnement déplace ledit organe mobile (10) vers sa position de fermeture.The present invention therefore relates to a safety device for automatically preventing an accidental complete closure of a door comprising at least one panel provided with an actuating member and articulated in a frame, characterized in that said device comprises a member movable movable between a safety position, in which it prevents the complete closure of the door and a closed position in which the door can be closed, said movable member being connected to said actuator so that the actuation of the actuator moves said movable member (10) to its closed position.

Ainsi, il est nécessaire qu'il y ait une intervention d'une personne sur l'organe d'actionnement pour pouvoir fermer complètement la porte. Ceci est une garantie contre toutes possibilités d'accident puisque la personne qui agit sur l'organe d'actionnement aura préalablement retiré sa main du cadre.Thus, it is necessary that there is an intervention of a person on the actuating member in order to be able to completely close the door. This is a guarantee against any possibility of accident since the person who acts on the actuator will have previously withdrawn his hand from the frame.

De préférence, dans la position de sécurité de l'organe mobile, le bord du panneau articulé qui est opposé à l'articulation de la porte et le montant correspondant du cadre définissent un écartement d'au moins quelques centimètres, de sorte que les doigts d'une main ne peuvent pas être pincés entre ledit bord et ledit montant .Preferably, in the safety position of the movable member, the edge of the articulated panel which is opposite the articulation of the door and the corresponding amount of the frame define a spacing of at least a few centimeters, so that the fingers with one hand cannot be pinched between said edge and said upright.

Ainsi, si la porte se referme violemment, sous l'effet par exemple d'un courant d'air, une personne qui aurait sa main placée sur le cadre du côté opposé à l'articulation de la porte, ne risquerait pas de se faire coincer les doigts puisque la porte serait arrêtée par ledit organe mobile, l'écartement minimal qui est défini par l'invention correspondant environ à l'épaisseur d'une main d'une personne.Thus, if the door closes violently, under the effect for example of a draft, a person who would have his hand placed on the frame on the side opposite to the hinge of the door, would not risk being done pinch the fingers since the door would be stopped by said movable member, the minimum spacing which is defined by the invention corresponding approximately to the thickness of a person's hand.

Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile est disposé au niveau du bord supérieur du panneau articulé de la porte.Advantageously, said movable member is disposed at the upper edge of the hinged panel of the door.

Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile, dans sa position de sécurité, s'étend au delà du bord supérieur du panneau articulé de telle sorte qu'il coopère avec le cadre ou un élément solidaire dudit cadre pour empêcher la fermeture complète de la porte, et, dans sa position de fermeture, est disposé en dessous du bord supérieur du panneau articulé de telle sorte que la porte peut être fermée.Advantageously, said movable member, in its safety position, extends beyond the upper edge of the hinged panel so that it cooperates with the frame or an element integral with said frame to prevent complete closure of the door, and, in its closed position, is arranged below the upper edge of the hinged panel so that the door can be closed.

De préférence, ledit organe mobile est sollicité vers sa position de sécurité par un ressort.Preferably, said movable member is biased towards its safety position by a spring.

Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile et ledit ressort sont disposés dans un cylindre creux fixé dans ledit panneau articulé de la porte.Advantageously, said movable member and said spring are arranged in a hollow cylinder fixed in said hinged panel of the door.

Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile est relié audit organe d'actionnement par un câble.Advantageously, said movable member is connected to said actuating member by a cable.

De préférence, ledit organe mobile, dans sa position de fermeture, coopère avec un élément de butée fixé sur le linteau du cadre.Preferably, said movable member, in its closed position, cooperates with a stop element fixed to the lintel of the frame.

Avantageusement, le cadre de la porte est standard et comporte une feuillure classique.Advantageously, the door frame is standard and has a conventional rebate.

De préférence, ledit organe d'actionnement est formé par la poignée de la porte.Preferably, said actuating member is formed by the handle of the door.

La présente invention a également pour objet une porte qui comporte un dispositif de sécurité tel que défini ci-dessus.The present invention also relates to a door which comprises a safety device as defined above.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description détaillée suivante, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des dessins joints, sur lesquels :

Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description. following detailed, given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a door incorporating a safety device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the device according to an embodiment of the invention,

  • Figure 5 is a schematic top view of a door handle incorporating a safety device according to the invention.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2 la porte selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention comporte un panneau articulé 2 qui s'adapte dans un cadre. Le panneau 2 est articulé autour d'une articulation 8. Le cadre comprend un linteau 6 qui relie deux montants 4 et 5. Le montant situé prés de l'articulation 8 du panneau 2 sera désigné par la suite par montant porteur 4 et le montant opposé à l'articulation 8 du panneau 2 sera désignée par la suite par montant non-porteur 5. Comme visible en particulier sur les figures 1 et 2, le cadre peut être standard et peut comporter une feuillure du type classique. Le panneau articulé 2 comporte un organe d'actionnement 3 qui est avantageusement formé par une poignée destinée à actionner la porte.Referring to Figures 1 and 2 the door according to one embodiment of the invention comprises an articulated panel 2 which fits into a frame. The panel 2 is articulated around an articulation 8. The frame comprises a lintel 6 which connects two uprights 4 and 5. The upright located near the articulation 8 of the panel 2 will be designated subsequently by the supporting upright 4 and the upright opposite to the articulation 8 of the panel 2 will be designated hereinafter by non-supporting upright 5. As visible in particular in FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame may be standard and may include a rebate of the conventional type. The articulated panel 2 comprises an actuating member 3 which is advantageously formed by a handle intended to actuate the door.

Selon l'invention, il est prévu un organe mobile 10 qui se déplace entre une position de sécurité dans laquelle il empêche la fermeture complète de la porte 1 et une position de fermeture dans laquelle il autorise la fermeture complète de la porte 1. Cet organe mobile 10 est de préférence disposé au niveau du bord supérieur du panneau articulé 2 de la porte 1, comme représenté sur les figures 2 et 3. Avantageusement, cet organe mobile, dans sa position de sécurité représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, se projette au-dessus du bord supérieur du panneau articulé 2 de sorte qu'il empêche la fermeture complète de la porte en coopérant avec soit le linteau 6 du cadre lui-même, soit avec un élément 7 solidaire dudit linteau 6. En référence aux figures 1, 2 et 3, on prévoit avantageusement un élément de butée 7 qui est fixé sur le linteau 6 du cadre avec lequel ledit organe mobile 10 coopère pour arrêter la porte 1 en cas de fermeture accidentelle. Comme visible plus particulièrement sur la figure 1, lorsque l'organe mobile 10 coopère avec ledit élément de butée 7, un écartement E minimal est défini entre le bord 2a du panneau articulé 2 qui est opposé à l'articulation 8 et le montant non porteur 5 du cadre, de sorte qu'une personne qui aurait les doigts posés à cet endroit ne risquerait pas de se les faire coincer, même lors d'une fermeture accidentelle voire violente du panneau 2.According to the invention, there is provided a movable member 10 which moves between a safety position in which it prevents the complete closing of the door 1 and a closed position in which it allows the complete closing of the door 1. This member mobile 10 is preferably disposed at the upper edge of the hinged panel 2 of the door 1, as shown in the Figures 2 and 3. Advantageously, this movable member, in its safety position shown in Figures 2 and 3, projects above the upper edge of the hinged panel 2 so that it prevents the complete closing of the door by cooperating with either the lintel 6 of the frame itself, or with an element 7 integral with said lintel 6. With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, there is advantageously provided a stop element 7 which is fixed to the lintel 6 of the frame with which said movable member 10 cooperates to stop the door 1 in the event of accidental closing. As can be seen more particularly in FIG. 1, when the movable member 10 cooperates with said abutment element 7, a minimum spacing E is defined between the edge 2a of the articulated panel 2 which is opposite the articulation 8 and the non-supporting upright 5 of the frame, so that a person who has his fingers placed there would not risk being pinched, even during an accidental or even violent closure of the panel 2.

Selon l'invention, ledit organe mobile 10 est relié à la poignée 3 de la porte de telle sorte que l'actionnement de la poignée 3 déplace ledit organe 10 de sa position de sécurité vers sa position de fermeture. Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile 10 est relié à la poignée 3 par un câble 20. Ce câble peut être de tout type et peut en particulier être similaire à un câble de vélo. Avantageusement, ledit organe mobile 10 est sollicité vers sa position de sécurité par un ressort 11, ou tout autre moyen élastique équivalent, de sorte que sans intervention sur la poignée 3 de la porte, l'organe mobile 10 est dans sa position de sécurité et vient buter contre l'élément de butée 7 pour empêcher la fermeture complète de la porte. La fermeture complète ne devient possible qu'après actionnement de la poignée qui, par l'intermédiaire du câble 20 déplace l'organe mobile 10 contre la force du ressort 11 vers sa position de fermeture. Avantageusement, l'organe mobile 10 et éventuellement le ressort 11 sont placés dans un cylindre creux 15, fixé dans ledit panneau articulé 2 de la porte. Cette mise en oeuvre permet un renforcement au niveau dudit organe mobile 10 de sorte qu'en cas de fermeture violente du panneau articulé 2, ledit cylindre creux absorbe une partie des forces d'inertie pour éviter un endommagement de la porte, en particulier du bord supérieur du panneau 2.According to the invention, said movable member 10 is connected to the handle 3 of the door so that the actuation of the handle 3 moves said member 10 from its safety position to its closed position. Advantageously, said movable member 10 is connected to the handle 3 by a cable 20. This cable can be of any type and can in particular be similar to a bicycle cable. Advantageously, said movable member 10 is biased towards its safety position by a spring 11, or any other equivalent elastic means, so that without intervention on the handle 3 of the door, the movable member 10 is in its safety position and abuts against the stop element 7 to prevent complete closing of the door. Complete closing becomes possible only after actuation of the handle which, by means of the cable 20 moves the movable member 10 against the force of the spring 11 towards its closed position. Advantageously, the movable member 10 and possibly the spring 11 are placed in a hollow cylinder 15, fixed in said articulated panel 2 of the door. This implementation allows reinforcement at said movable member 10 so that in the event of violent closure of the articulated panel 2, said hollow cylinder absorbs part of the inertial forces to avoid damage to the door, in particular the edge top of panel 2.

Le câble 20 peut être fixé d'une quelconque manière connue souhaitée à l'organe mobile 10 d'une part, et à la poignée 3 d'autre part. Eventuellement, des moyens de réglage pour régler de manière précise la fixation du câble 20 sur l'organe mobile 10 et la poignée 3 peuvent être prévus aux deux extrémités dudit câble 20.The cable 20 can be fixed in any desired known manner to the movable member 10 on the one hand, and to the handle 3 on the other hand. Optionally, adjustment means for precisely adjusting the fixing of the cable 20 on the movable member 10 and the handle 3 may be provided at the two ends of said cable 20.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif selon l'invention est donc très simple : lorsque le panneau 2 de la porte 1 se referme, l'organe mobile 10 fait sailli au dessus du panneau articulé 2, de sorte qu'il va coopérer avec l'élément de butée 7 fixé sur le linteau 6 du cadre pour empêcher la fermeture complète de la porte et garantir l'écartement E minimal entre le panneau articulé 2 et le montant non-porteur 5 du cadre. Pour fermer complètement la porte, il est nécessaire d'actionner la poignée 3, en particulier de l'abaisser, ce qui comme représenté sur la figure 4 exerce une traction sur le câble 20, cette traction étant transmise à l'organe mobile 10, contre la force du ressort 11 de sorte que l'organe mobile 10 se déplace vers sa position de fermeture où il est disposé complètement à l'intérieur du cylindre creux 15 fixé dans le panneau articulé 2 de la porte. Ainsi, la porte peut être complètement fermée et le risque de se coincer les doigts pendant ce processus est nul.The operation of the device according to the invention is therefore very simple: when the panel 2 of the door 1 closes, the movable member 10 projects above the articulated panel 2, so that it will cooperate with the element of stop 7 fixed on the lintel 6 of the frame to prevent the complete closing of the door and to guarantee the minimum spacing E between the articulated panel 2 and the non-carrying upright 5 of the frame. To completely close the door, it is necessary to actuate the handle 3, in particular to lower it, which as shown in FIG. 4 exerts traction on the cable 20, this traction being transmitted to the movable member 10, against the force of the spring 11 so that the movable member 10 moves to its closed position where it is disposed completely inside the hollow cylinder 15 fixed in the hinged panel 2 of the door. Thus, the door can be completely closed and the risk of getting your fingers caught during this process is zero.

Bien que la présente invention ait été décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, il est entendu que toutes autres variantes équivalentes pourraient être utilisées. Ainsi, l'organe mobile 10 peut coopérer directement avec le linteau 6 du cadre pour empêcher la fermeture de la porte. De même, l'invention pourrait également s'appliquer à des portes qui ne comporteraient pas des poignées. Dans ce cas, il faudrait prévoir un élément d'actionnement spécifique permettant à l'utilisateur de la porte d'actionner le dispositif de sécurité pour déplacer l'organe mobile 10 vers sa position de fermeture de la porte. De plus, l'organe mobile peut être disposé au niveau du bord supérieur du panneau 2, à l'extérieur de celui-ci.Although the present invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment of the invention, it is understood that any other equivalent variants could be used. So the organ mobile 10 can cooperate directly with the lintel 6 of the frame to prevent the door from closing. Likewise, the invention could also be applied to doors which do not include handles. In this case, a specific actuating element should be provided allowing the user of the door to actuate the safety device to move the movable member 10 towards its position for closing the door. In addition, the movable member can be arranged at the upper edge of the panel 2, outside of the latter.
