Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des accessoires de volets notamment, plus généralement, de tous vantaux devant équiper une ouverture, une baie...The invention relates to the technical sector of shutter accessories in particular, more generally, of all the leaves which are to equip a opening, a bay ...

Dans le cas de volets devant équiper notamment des fenêtres ou portes- fenêtres, il est connu d'utiliser des systèmes de crochets permettant d'entrebâiller le vantail considéré selon différentes positions. Ces crochets peuvent également être utilisés en position de fermeture du vantail pour assurer le crochetage de ce dernier de manière isolée ou en combinaison avec une fermeture du type à espagnolette.In the case of shutters to be fitted, in particular windows or French windows, it is known to use hook systems allowing to open the door leaf considered from different positions. These hooks can also be used in the leaf closed position to securing it in isolation or in combination with a Spanish type closure.

Ces crochets se présentent sous forme d'une tige rectiligne dont l'une des extrémités est recourbée en forme d'anneau pour être articulée dans un support généralement sous forme d'un piton destiné à être fixé dans une partie de l'ouverture équipée du vantail. Par exemple, ce crochet ou piton peut être vissé dans l'huisserie du dormant fixe ou sur le chant du tableau. L'autre extrémité de la tige est recourbée pour constituer le crochet en tant que tel, destiné à être engagé dans une crémaillère fixée sur une partie du vantail. La crémaillère présente généralement plusieurs trous, permettant ainsi d'entrebâiller le vantail selon différentes positions angulaires.These hooks are in the form of a straight rod, one of which of the ends is curved in the shape of a ring to be articulated in a support generally in the form of a peg intended to be fixed in a part of the opening fitted with the leaf. For example, this hook or peg can be screwed into the frame frame or on the edge of the table. The other end of the rod is bent to form the hook as as such, intended to be engaged in a rack fixed on a part of the leaf. The rack usually has several holes, allowing thus ajar the leaf at different angular positions.

Ce système de crochetage a l'avantage d'être particulièrement simple mais présente toutefois certains inconvénients. En effet, l'articulation de la tige par rapport au piton support, est totalement libre dans tous les plans de sorte qu'en position de non crochetage avec la crémaillère, la tige n'est pas tenue et peut être soumise à des mouvements non contrôlés susceptibles d'endommager l'huisserie ou le tableau de l'ouverture. C'est notamment le cas lorsqu'il y a un vent important ou lorsque l'utilisateur décrochette son vantail et qu'il laisse retomber la tige, laquelle va venir taper contre l'huisserie ou le tableau de l'ouverture. Il apparaít donc que ce débattement non contrôlé de la tige en position de non crochetage, est susceptible d'occasionner des dégâts non négligeables. Il convient également de signaler le bruit lorsque cette tige tape contre une partie de l'ouverture.This hooking system has the advantage of being particularly simple but nevertheless has certain drawbacks. Indeed, the articulation of the rod relative to the support peg, is completely free in all planes so that in the non-hooking position with the rack, the rod is not held and may be subject to uncontrolled movements that may damage the window frame or the opening table. It is notably the case when there is a strong wind or when the user hangs up his leaf and let the rod drop, which will tap against the door frame or the opening table. It therefore appears that this travel uncontrolled rod in non-picking position, is likely cause significant damage. It should also signal the noise when this rod taps against part of the opening.

Ces inconvénients se retrouvent également dans le brevet DE 656.576 qui divulgue une tige sous forme d'un fer plat dont l'une des extrémités comprend une tête sphérique coopérant avec une empreinte, tandis que son autre extrémité comprend un crochet susceptible d'être engagé dans des ouvertures formées dans un fer torsadé.These drawbacks are also found in patent DE 656,576 which discloses a rod in the form of a flat iron, one of the ends of which includes a spherical head cooperating with an impression, while its other end includes a hook capable of being engaged in openings formed in a twisted iron.

L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, de manière sûre, simple, efficace et rationnelle.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, safe, simple, efficient and rational.

Les problèmes que se propose de résoudre l'invention sont, d'une part, de pouvoir contrôler le positionnement et le débattement angulaire de la tige par rapport à son support de fixation, en évitant à cette dernière de venir taper inopinément contre l'huisserie, le tableau ou toute autre partie de l'ouverture et, d'autre part, interdire un démontage non autorisé dudit support de fixation.The problems which the invention proposes to solve are, on the one hand, to be able to control the positioning and the travel angular of the rod relative to its fixing support, avoiding this last to come and knock unexpectedly against the door frame, the painting or any other part of the opening and, on the other hand, prohibit disassembly not authorized of said fixing support.

Pour résoudre de tels problèmes, il a été conçu et mis au point un dispositif de crochetage d'au moins un vantail comprenant un crochet et une crémaillère conforme aux caractéristiques de la revendication 1. To solve such problems, it was designed and developed a hooking device for at least one leaf comprising a hook and a rack conforming to the characteristics of the claim 1.

Avantageusement, le corps présente deux nervures internes aptes à être montées à coulissement dans des rainures complémentaires que présentent les côtés latéraux de l'embase. Le corps et l'embase présentent un système de crantage apte à assurer leur blocage en position. Advantageously, the body has two internal ribs capable of be slidably mounted in complementary grooves that have the lateral sides of the base. The body and the base have a notching system capable of ensuring their locking in position.

Un autre problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de pouvoir orienter la tige afin que la partie formant crochet s'oriente au moment du basculement, d'une manière sensiblement parallèle au mur. Dans ce but, la tige qui est de section ronde, présente, à proximité de la tête sphérique d'articulation, deux portées méplates parallèles aptes à coopérer avec les échancrures du corps pour orienter angulairement et centrer la tige et, d'une manière concomitante, le crochet. Another problem which the invention proposes to solve is to ability to orient rod so that hook portion is oriented moment of tilting, in a manner substantially parallel to the wall. For this purpose, the rod which is of round section, presents, close to the head spherical joint, two parallel flat surfaces capable of cooperating with the notches of the body to angularly orient and center the rod and, concomitantly, the hook.

Le dispositif de crochetage selon l'invention comprend pour l'essentiel, une partie crochet désignée dans son ensemble par (C), une partie support désignée dans son ensemble par (S) et une crémaillère (3). La partie crochet (C) se présente sous forme d'une tige (1) dont l'une des extrémités est conformée pour constituer le crochet en tant que tel coopérant avec la crémaillère, tandis que l'autre extrémité est conformée pour être accouplée, avec capacité d'articulation, sur une partie correspondante du support (S).The hooking device according to the invention essentially comprises a hook part designated as a whole by (C) , a support part generally designated by (S) and a rack (3). The hook part (C) is in the form of a rod (1) one end of which is shaped to constitute the hook as such cooperating with the rack, while the other end is shaped to be coupled, with articulation capacity, on a corresponding part of the support (S).

Selon l'invention, l'extrémité d'accouplement de la tige (1) avec le support (S) présente une tête sphérique (T) faisant office de rotule. Cette tête sphérique (T) coopère avec une empreinte complémentaire (2a) d'une platine de fixation (2) constituant le support (S).According to the invention, the coupling end of the rod (1) with the support (S) has a spherical head (T) acting as a ball joint. This spherical head (T) cooperates with a complementary imprint (2a) of a fixing plate (2) constituting the support (S).

L'empreinte (2a) est conformée en section pour faire office de cage et de siège, à la tête sphérique ou rotule (T).The imprint (2a) is shaped in section to act as a cage and seat, with ball or ball head (T).

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, l'empreinte ou cage (2a) présente périphériquement des agencements aptes à limiter et à contrôler le débattement angulaire de la tige (1), selon des directions prédéterminées et à la bloquer temporairement, en position de non utilisation. Dans ce but, la cage (2a) présente des échancrures décalées angulairement (2a1)-(2a2 et (2a3), ces échancrures étant communiquantes au niveau de leurs extrémités ouvertes. Plus particulièrement, la cage (2a) présente trois échancrures (2a1)-(2a2)-(2a3) décalées de 90°.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the imprint or cage (2a) has peripherally arrangements capable of limiting and control the angular movement of the rod (1), in directions and temporarily block it in the no position use. For this purpose, the cage (2a) has offset notches angularly (2a1) - (2a2 and (2a3), these notches being communicating at their open ends. More particularly, the cage (2a) has three notches (2a1) - (2a2) - (2a3) offset by 90 °.

Les deux échancrures (2a1) (2a2) sont diamétralement opposées afin de pouvoir orienter la tige (1) selon deux directions opposées (A) ou (B) en fonction du positionnement de la platine support (2) par rapport à la crémaillère (3) destinée à recevoir, selon différentes positions, le crochet de la tige (1). Il est ainsi possible d'utiliser la même platine support (2) du côté droit ou du côté gauche de l'embrasure à équiper du vantail (V). La crémaillère (3) est de tout type connu et approprié et présente une pluralité de trous (3a).The two notches (2a1) (2a2) are diametrically opposed so to be able to orient the rod (1) in two opposite directions (A) or (B) function of the positioning of the support plate (2) relative to the rack (3) intended to receive, in different positions, the hook the rod (1). It is thus possible to use the same support plate (2) on the side right or left side of the doorway to be fitted with the leaf (V). The rack (3) is of any known and appropriate type and has a plurality holes (3a).

L'échancrure (2a3) est donc disposée entre les deux échancrures (2a1) et (2a2) en correspondance avec l'axe longitudinal médian (XX') de la platine de fixation (2). L'échancrure (2a3) est destinée à recevoir la tige (1) en position de non utilisation, c'est à dire après décrochetage de la crémaillère (3) correspondant généralement à la position totalement ouverte du vantail considéré. La largeur (1) des échancrures diamétrales (2a1) et (2a2) est très légèrement supérieure au diamètre (d) de la tige (1) afin de lui permettre, au sein de l'échancrure considérée, un certain débattement angulaire afin de palier les éventuels écarts de positionnement de la crémaillère (3).The notch (2a3) is therefore placed between the two notches (2a1) and (2a2) in correspondence with the median longitudinal axis (XX ') of the fixing plate (2). The notch (2a3) is intended to receive the rod (1) in the non-use position, that is to say after unhooking the rack (3) generally corresponding to the fully open position of the leaf considered. The width (1) of the diametrical notches (2a1) and (2a2) is very slightly greater than the diameter (d) of the rod (1) so that it allow, within the recess considered, a certain clearance angular in order to make up for any differences in positioning of the rack (3).

La largeur (11) de l'empreinte médiane (2a3) correspond très sensiblement au diamètre (d) de la tige (1) afin de la bloquer temporairement en translation (figure 7) en lui évitant tout débattement angulaire intempestif par rapport à sa zone d'articulation, susceptible d'endommager les éléments disposés à proximité.The width (11) of the central imprint (2a3) corresponds very substantially to the diameter (d) of the rod (1) in order to block it temporarily in translation (Figure 7) avoiding any movement untimely angular with respect to its articulation zone, susceptible damage the elements placed nearby.

De même, toujours en ayant pour objectif d'éviter tout contact de l'ensemble de la tige (1) en position de non crochetage avec la crémaillère (3), le fond (2a4) de l'échancrure (2a3) est surélevé par rapport à l'épaisseur de la platine de fixation (2), afin de décaler angulairement de manière correspondante la tige (1) évitant ainsi au crochet de venir en appui sur une partie de l'huisserie ou autre. Likewise, always with the objective of avoiding any contact of the entire rod (1) in the non-hooking position with the rack (3), the bottom (2a4) of the notch (2a3) is raised relative to the thickness of the fixing plate (2), in order to offset angularly so corresponding rod (1) thus preventing the hook from coming to bear on a part of the frame or other.

Le siège (2a) de la rotule (T) est en communication avec une ouverture circulaire débouchante (2b) formée dans l'épaisseur de la platine (2). Ces dispositions permettent l'introduction de la tête sphérique ou rotule (T). Un bouchon (4), après mise en place de la rotule (T), peut obturer l'ouverture circulaire (2b).The seat (2a) of the ball joint (T) is in communication with a circular opening opening (2b) formed in the thickness of the plate (2). These provisions allow the introduction of the spherical head or ball joint (T). A plug (4), after fitting the ball joint (T), can close off the circular opening (2b).

La platine support (2) présente des agencements de fixation pour être fixée sur la partie correspondante de l'ouverture de l'huisserie ou autre, équipée du vantail (V). Par exemple, cette platine (2) présente deux bossages (2c) et (2d) percés l'un et l'autre d'un trou débouchant pour l'engagement de vis de fixation (5). La platine (2) a une forme générale quadrangulaire, les petits côtés (2e) et (2f) étant arrondis.The support plate (2) has fixing arrangements to be fixed on the corresponding part of the opening of the frame or other, equipped with the leaf (V). For example, this plate (2) has two bosses (2c) and (2d) both drilled with a through hole for the engagement of fixing screws (5). The plate (2) has a general shape quadrangular, the short sides (2e) and (2f) being rounded.

Les deux bossages (2c) et (2d) recevant les vis de fixation (5), sont disposés de part et d'autre de la cage (2a) selon l'axe longitudinal médian de la platine (2). De même, dans l'exemple illustré et compte tenu de l'implantation des différentes échancrures, la platine support (2) est fixée selon le sens de la hauteur (figure 1). Bien évidemment, cette platine peut être fixée selon le sens de la largeur, les différentes échancrures de la cage sont décalées dans ce cas de 90°.The two bosses (2c) and (2d) receiving the fixing screws (5), are arranged on either side of the cage (2a) along the median longitudinal axis of the plate (2). Similarly, in the example illustrated and taking into account the implantation of the different notches, the support plate (2) is fixed according to the direction of the height (figure 1). Obviously, this deck can be fixed according to the width direction, the different notches of the cage in this case are offset by 90 °.

Selon l'invention, la platine de fixation (2) constituant le support (S) est en deux parties, à savoir une embase (11) et un corps (12). L'embase (11) présente les agencements pour être fixée sur la partie correspondante de l'ouverture de l'huisserie ou autre, équipée du vantail. Par exemple, l'embase (11) présente des trous débouchants (11a) pour l'engagement de vis de fixation. Le corps (12) présente l'empreinte (12a) recevant la tête d'articulation sphérique de la tige (1), laquelle empreinte présente les agencements précités afin de limiter et contrôler le débattement angulaire de ladite tige, selon des directions prédéterminées et de la bloquer en position de non crochetage. C'est. ainsi que le corps (12) présente trois échancrures disposées en T (12a1) (12a2) et (12a3).According to the invention, the fixing plate (2) constituting the support (S) is in two parts, namely a base (11) and a body (12). The base (11) has the arrangements for being fixed on the corresponding part of the opening of the frame or other, equipped with leaf. For example, the base (11) has through holes (11a) for the engagement of fixing screws. The body (12) has the imprint (12a) receiving the spherical articulation head of the rod (1), which imprint has the above arrangements to limit and control the angular movement of said rod, in predetermined directions and lock it in the non-picking position. It is. as well as the body (12) has three notches arranged in T (12a1) (12a2) and (12a3).

L'embase (11) et le corps (12) présentent des moyens d'accouplement complémentaires. Comme le montrent les figures des dessins, le corps (12) présente deux rainures internes parallèles (12b) (12c) aptes à être montées à coulissement dans des rainures complémentaires (11b) et (11c) que présentent les côtés latéraux de l'embase (11) (figures 10, 13 et 15). Après engagement du corps (12) sur l'embase (11), ce dernier coiffe en totalité ladite embase, rendant ainsi invisibles les agencements de fixation de ladite embase.The base (11) and the body (12) have means additional couplings. As shown in the figures of drawings, the body (12) has two parallel internal grooves (12b) (12c) able to be slidably mounted in complementary grooves (11b) and (11c) presented by the lateral sides of the base (11) (FIGS. 10, 13 and 15). After engagement of the body (12) on the base (11), the latter completely covers said base, thus making the arrangements of invisible fixing of said base.

On observe également, figures 12 et 14, que l'embase (11) et le corps (12) présentent un système de crantages complémentaires (11d) et (12d) aptes à assurer leur blocage en position. A noter également que la face d'appui de l'embase de fixation (11) est rainurée pour améliorer sa fixation par rapport à l'endroit considéré de l'ouverture à équiper.We also observe, Figures 12 and 14, that the base (11) and the body (12) have a system of complementary notches (11d) and (12d) able to lock them in position. Also note that the face support of the fixing base (11) is grooved to improve its fixing with respect to the considered location of the opening to be fitted.

Avantageusement et comme le montrent notamment les figures 2 et 5, la tête sphérique (T) est indépendante et réalisée en un matériau composite surmoulé sur un insert métallique (6) rendu solidaire de l'extrémité correspondante de la tige (1). La tige est par exemple engagée librement dans l'insert (6) en y étant maintenue en position bloquée en translation, au moyen d'une vis pointeau (7). Ces dispositions permettent donc le démontage aisé de la tête par rapport à la tige, permettant ainsi le montage et le démontage par rapport à l'ensemble de la platine support (2). Advantageously and as shown in particular in FIGS. 2 and 5, the spherical head (T) is independent and made of a material composite overmolded on a metal insert (6) made integral with the corresponding end of the rod (1). The rod is for example engaged freely in the insert (6) while being held in the locked position therein. translation, by means of a needle screw (7). These provisions allow so easy disassembly of the head relative to the rod, thus allowing the mounting and dismounting in relation to the entire support plate (2).

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tige (1) présente à proximité de la rotule d'articulation (T) deux portées méplates parallèles (1a) (1b) aptes à coopérer avec les échancrures du corps (12) notamment pour l'orienter et la centrer au fur et à mesure de son rabattement. Il en résulte d'une manière concomitante, une orientation et le centrage de la partie faisant office de crochet.According to another characteristic of the invention, the rod (1) has at proximity to the ball joint (T) two parallel flat surfaces (1a) (1b) able to cooperate with the notches of the body (12) in particular to orient and center it as it folds down. It results concomitantly, an orientation and centering of the part serving as a hook.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la partie recourbée de la tige est constituée par un embout rapporté (8). Avantageusement, cet embout est réalisé en matériau composite surmoulé sur un insert métallique (9) rendu solidaire de l'extrémité correspondante de la tige (1). De la même façon qu'au niveau de la tête sphérique, l'extrémité de la tige (1) est engagée librement dans l'insert (9), en y étant maintenue en position et bloquée en translation au moyen d'une vis pointeau (10).According to another characteristic of the invention, the curved part of the rod is constituted by an attached end piece (8). Advantageously, this tip is made of composite material overmolded on a metal insert (9) secured to the corresponding end of the rod (1). Of the same so that at the level of the spherical head, the end of the rod (1) is freely engaged in the insert (9), being held there in position and blocked in translation by means of a needle screw (10).

Selon l'invention, l'embout (8) présente, au niveau de l'intersection de sa partie recourbée (8a) et de sa partie droite (8b), une encoche (8c) correspondant à l'épaisseur de la crémaillère (3). Ainsi, lorsque l'embout est engagé dans un des trous de la crémaillère, l'encoche (8c) évite tout désaccouplement intempestif.According to the invention, the end piece (8) has, at the intersection its curved part (8a) and its straight part (8b), a notch (8c) corresponding to the thickness of the rack (3). So when the tip is engaged in one of the holes of the rack, the notch (8c) avoids all untimely uncoupling.

Pour assurer le verrouillage de l'embout par rapport à la crémaillère, d'autres solutions peuvent être prévues, comme le montrent les figures 21 et 22.To ensure the locking of the nozzle relative to the rack, other solutions may be provided, as shown in Figures 21 and 22.

A la figure 21, la partie recourbée (8a) de l'embout, est fendue pour constituer une languette (8d) dirigée vers le haut et déformable élastiquement. Cette languette (8d) présente un bossage de retenu (8d1) coopérant avec l'un des trous correspondant de la crémaillère (3) afin d'assurer un blocage en position. Lorsque l'on appuie sur la languette (8d), le bossage (8d1) échappe le trou afin de pouvoir assurer facilement le décrochetage de l'embout (8).In FIG. 21, the curved part (8a) of the end piece is split for build up a deformable tongue (8d) elastically. This tab (8d) has a retainer boss (8d1) cooperating with one of the corresponding holes in the rack (3) so to lock in position. When the tab (8d) is pressed, the boss (8d1) escapes the hole in order to be able to easily ensure the unhooking of the end piece (8).

A la figure 22, l'extrémité de la partie recourbée (8a) de l'embout (8) présente une fente (8e) pour le montage à libre pivotement d'une plaquette (13a). Cette plaquette est articulée sur un axe (14) et présente une lumière (13a) afin d'être orientée angulairement et déplacée en translation pour assurer le blocage de l'embout après engagement dans le trou correspondant de la crémaillère.In FIG. 22, the end of the curved part (8a) of the end piece (8) has a slot (8e) for freely pivoting mounting of a plate (13a). This plate is articulated on an axis (14) and has a light (13a) in order to be angularly oriented and moved in translation for ensure the locking of the nozzle after engagement in the corresponding hole of the rack.

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description, en particulier on souligne et on rappelle le contrôle et la limitation de débattement angulaire de la tige par rapport à sa zone d'articulation, lui évitant de taper d'une manière intempestive sur une partie quelconque de l'ouverture équipée du ou des vantaux.
   On souligne également, dans le cas où la rotule d'articulation (T) et l'embout (8) faisant office de crochet, sont des éléments rapportés, la possibilité de couper la tige (1) à la longueur désirée pour l'adapter à toutes dimensions de volets.The advantages emerge clearly from the description, in particular it emphasizes and recalls the control and the limitation of angular movement of the rod relative to its articulation zone, preventing it from tapping in an untimely manner on any part of the opening equipped with leaf (s).
It is also emphasized, in the case where the articulation ball joint (T) and the end piece (8) acting as a hook, are added elements, the possibility of cutting the rod (1) to the desired length to adapt it all dimensions of shutters.
