The plate carries a transfer lever (9) which pivots around an axis (8) from a neutral position to an operating position for activating the two locks. The plate has a first fastening point (14) for a first long movement transmission part (15) which is connected to the internal control. A support part (19) engages a push rod (21) which is connected to the external control. There are two other fastening points (22,23) for second and third long movement transmission parts (24,25) which are connected to the locks.

Description

La présente invention concerne une platine de servitude pour la commande des serrures d'un panneau ouvrant équipé d'au moins deux serrures, d'une commande extérieure d'ouverture de panneau et d'une commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau. L'invention concerne également un panneau ouvrant équipé de la platine de servitude selon l'invention.The present invention relates to a service plate for controlling the locks of an opening panel fitted with at least two locks, from an external opening control panel and an interior panel opening control. The invention also relates to an opening panel equipped with the service plate according to the invention.

L'invention est utilisable notamment dans le domaine des véhicules automobiles et, dans ce cas, on entend par panneau ouvrant une porte latérale, un hayon, un capot, ou tout autre panneau ouvrant, pourvu qu'il soit équipé d'au moins deux serrures pour sa fermeture. L'invention s'applique en particulier à une porte de grande largeur d'un véhicule automobile. Dans ce cas, en effet, au moins deux serrures sont nécessaires pour que la porte de grande largeur puisse être correctement maintenue à l'état fermé. Il est alors souhaitable que les deux serrures puissent être actionnées simultanément ou quasi simultanément par la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte ou par la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte lorsqu'on désire ouvrir ladite porte. Pour cela, chacune des deux commandes intérieure et extérieure d'ouverture de porte est habituellement reliée à chacune des deux serrures par deux organes allongés de transmission de mouvement, par exemple deux câbles ou deux tringles. Un tel système de commande est relativement complexe, délicat à installer et à régler. En outre, dans le cas où le véhicule est équipé d'un système centralisé de condamnation/ décondamnation des portes du véhicule, un actionneur commandé électriquement est alors habituellement associé à chaque serrure de chaque porte, soit deux actionneurs par porte si chaque porte comporte deux serrures. Un tel système de condamnation/décondamnation est donc coûteux en matériel et consomme une quantité relativement importante d'énergie chaque fois que le système de condamnation/ décondamnation est activé.The invention can be used in particular in the field of motor vehicles and, in this case, opening panel means a side door, a tailgate, a hood, or any other opening panel, provided that it is equipped with at least two locks for its closure. The invention applies in particular to a door of large width of a motor vehicle. In this case, in fact, at least two locks are necessary for the wide door to be properly maintained in the closed state. It is therefore desirable that the two locks can be operated simultaneously or almost simultaneously by the external door opening control or by the interior door opening control when you want to open said door. For this, each of the two interior controls and door opening exterior is usually connected to each of two locks by two elongated transmission members movement, for example two cables or two rods. Such a system order is relatively complex, difficult to install and adjust. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a centralized system locking / unlocking the vehicle doors, a electrically controlled actuator is then usually associated with each lock on each door, i.e. two actuators per door if each door has two locks. Such a system of conviction / unlocking is therefore costly in material and consumes a relatively large amount of energy each time that the locking / unlocking system is activated.

La présente invention a donc pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant une platine de servitude pour la commande des serrures d'un panneau ouvrant équipé d'au moins deux serrures, d'une commande extérieure d'ouverture de panneau et d'une commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau, caractérisée en ce qu'elle porte un levier de transfert qui peut pivoter autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan de la platine, d'une position de repos à une position de travail, pour l'actionnement des deux serrures et qui présente, à distance dudit axe, un premier point d'attache pour un premier organe allongé de transmission de mouvement, qui est relié à ladite commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau, une partie d'appui destinée à coopérer avec une tringle de poussée qui est reliée à ladite commande extérieure d'ouverture de panneau, et au moins deux autres points d'attache respectivement pour des second et troisième organes allongés de transmission de mouvement, qui sont reliés respectivement aux deux serrures.The present invention therefore aims to remedy these disadvantages in providing an easel plate for control locks of an opening panel fitted with at least two locks, an external panel opening control and a interior panel opening control, characterized in that it carries a transfer lever which can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the stage, from a rest position to a working position, for actuating the two locks and which presents, at a distance from said axis, a first attachment point for a first elongated motion transmission member, which is connected to said interior panel opening control, a support part intended to cooperate with a push rod which is connected to said exterior panel opening control, and at least two others attachment points for second and third organs respectively elongated motion transmissions, which are connected respectively to the two locks.

Dans ces conditions, il n'y a plus besoin de deux câbles entre la commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau et chaque serrure, un seul câble suffit. De même, il n'y a plus besoin de deux tringles ou deux câbles allant de la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte à chaque serrure. En outre, comme tous les mouvements sont centralisés au niveau du levier de transfert, il y a, par conséquent, moins de réglages à effectuer.In these conditions, there is no longer any need for two cables between the interior panel opening control and each lock, one cable is enough. Likewise, you no longer need two rods or two cables running from the exterior opening control of door at each lock. Furthermore, as all movements are centralized at the transfer lever, there are, therefore, fewer adjustments to make.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la platine peut porter en outre une butée pour définir la position de repos du levier de transfert, et un ressort de rappel peut être monté entre la platine et le levier de transfert pour solliciter ce dernier vers ladite butée.In one embodiment of the invention, the plate can additionally carry a stopper to define the rest position of the transfer, and a return spring can be mounted between the plate and the transfer lever for urging the latter towards said stop.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le premier point d'attache susmentionné, c'est-à-dire la liaison entre ledit levier de transfert et le premier organe allongé de transmission de mouvement, qui est relié à la commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau, peut être constitué par une liaison du type à mouvement perdu, de telle sorte qu'une action sur la commande extérieure d'ouverture de panneau n'ait aucune influence sur la commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau.According to another characteristic of the invention, the first aforementioned attachment point, that is to say the connection between said lever transfer and the first elongated movement transmission member, which is connected to the interior panel opening control, can be constituted by a link of the lost movement type, so that an action on the exterior panel opening control has no influence on the interior panel opening control.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, à l'un au moins des deux autres points d'attache, il peut être prévu un dispositif de réglage permettant un ajustement de la longueur utile de l'organe allongé correspondant de transmission de mouvement.According to another characteristic of the invention, to one at less than the other two attachment points, a device may be provided adjustment allowing adjustment of the useful length of the member elongated corresponding motion transmission.

Dans le cas où la platine de servitude selon l'invention est destinée à être installée sur un panneau ouvrant équipé en outre d'au moins un actionneur commandé électriquement pour la condamnation/ décondamnation dudit panneau ouvrant, ladite platine de servitude peut alors porter un actionneur unique pour la condamnation/décondamnation dudit panneau ouvrant. Ledit actionneur peut alors comporter un organe mobile qui a une première position correspondant à un état décondamné du panneau ouvrant, dans lequel ladite tringle de poussée peut agir sur ladite partie d'appui du levier de transfert, et une seconde position correspondant à un état condamné du panneau ouvrant, dans lequel ladite tringle de poussée est empêchée d'agir sur ladite partie d'appui du levier de transfert.In the case where the service plate according to the invention is intended to be installed on an opening panel further equipped with minus an electrically controlled actuator for locking / unlocking said opening panel, said service plate can then wear a single actuator for locking / unlocking of said opening panel. Said actuator can then include a movable member which has a first position corresponding to a state unlocked from the opening panel, in which said push rod can act on said support part of the transfer lever, and a second position corresponding to a condemned state of the opening panel, in which said push rod is prevented from acting on said part of the transfer lever.

Ledit organe mobile de l'actionneur peut être accouplé à un premier bras d'un levier basculant bistable, qui a une première et une seconde position correspondant respectivement aux première et seconde positions de l'organe mobile de l'actionneur, et dont un second bras porte un moyen de saisie qui vient en prise avec ladite tige de poussée pour l'écarter latéralement de ladite partie d'appui dudit levier de transfert lorsque ledit levier basculant est déplacé vers sa seconde position par ledit organe mobile de l'actionneur passant de sa première à sa seconde position.Said movable actuator member can be coupled to a first arm of a bistable rocker lever, which has a first and a second position corresponding respectively to the first and second positions of the movable member of the actuator, including a second arm carries a gripping means which engages said rod thrust to move it laterally away from said support portion of said lever transfer when said rocking lever is moved to its second position by said movable member of the actuator passing from its first at its second position.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit levier de transfert peut présenter un appendice disposé de telle façon que, lorsque ledit levier basculant est dans sa seconde position correspondant à un état condamné du panneau ouvrant et que ledit levier de transfert est déplacé de sa position de repos à sa position de travail par une action sur la commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau, ledit appendice entre en contact avec ledit levier basculant et agit sur celui-ci pour le faire passer de sa seconde à sa première position. Ainsi, si le panneau ouvrant se trouvait dans un état condamné, une action sur la commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau provoque à la fois une décondamnation dudit panneau et l'ouverture des deux serrures.According to another characteristic of the invention, said lever transfer can have an appendix arranged in such a way that, when said rocking lever is in its second corresponding position to a condemned state of the opening panel and that said transfer lever is moved from its rest position to its working position by a action on the interior panel opening control, said panel appendage comes into contact with and acts on said rocker lever to move it from its second to its first position. So if the opening panel was in a condemned state, an action on the interior panel opening control causes both unlocking said panel and opening the two locks.

Dans le cas d'un panneau ouvrant équipé en outre d'un verrou de sûreté actionnable depuis l'extérieur dudit panneau au moyen d'une clé pour la condamnation/décondamnation du panneau, ledit levier basculant peut faire office de batteuse pour le verrou de sûreté. Dans ce cas, ledit levier basculant peut comporter entre ses deux bras, un moyeu ayant un trou dont la section transversale présente la forme de deux secteurs d'un même cercle, qui sont mutuellement opposés par rapport au centre du cercle et qui ont des angles au centre égaux, ledit trou étant dimensionné pour pouvoir recevoir longitudinalement, à coulissement, une lame qui est solidaire du barillet tournant dudit verrou de sûreté et prolonge ledit barillet du côté intérieur dudit panneau ouvrant. De préférence, ladite lame traverse complètement le trou dudit moyeu et a une extrémité qui dépasse au-delà du moyeu dudit levier basculant. Dans ces conditions, un organe de commande, manoeuvrable à la main et pourvu d'un trou dont la section transversale correspond à celle de ladite lame, peut être emboíté sur l'extrémité dépassante de ladite lame pour permettre un actionnement manuel dudit levier basculant depuis le côté intérieur du panneau ouvrant. Ainsi, si le panneau ouvrant avait été condamné et s'il se produit une panne électrique, le panneau ouvrant peut être décondamné, soit de l'extérieur à l'aide de la clé du verrou de sûreté, soit de l'intérieur à l'aide de l'organe de commande manoeuvrable à la main.In the case of an opening panel additionally equipped with a safety lock operable from outside said panel by means of a key for locking / unlocking the panel, said tilt lever can be used as a thresher for the safety lock. In this case, said rocking lever may comprise between its two arms, a hub having a hole whose cross section has the shape of two sectors of the same circle, which are mutually opposed by relative to the center of the circle and which have equal angles to the center, said hole being dimensioned to be able to receive longitudinally, at sliding, a blade which is integral with the rotating barrel of said safety lock and extends said barrel from the inner side of said opening panel. Preferably, said blade completely crosses the hole in said hub and has one end which projects beyond the hub of said tilting lever. Under these conditions, a control member, hand-operated and provided with a hole whose cross section corresponds to that of said blade, can be fitted on the end protruding from said blade to allow manual actuation of said blade lever tilting from the inside of the opening panel. So if the opening panel had been condemned and if a breakdown occurs electric, the opening panel can be unlocked, either from the outside using the safety lock key, either from the inside using the hand-operated control member.

Le panneau ouvrant selon l'invention, qui comporte au moins deux serrures, une commande extérieure d'ouverture de panneau située sur le côté extérieur du panneau ouvrant et une commande intérieure d'ouverture de panneau située sur le côté intérieur dudit panneau ouvrant, ainsi que des moyens de liaison reliant chacune des deux commandes extérieure et intérieure d'ouverture de panneau à chacune des deux serrures, est caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de liaison comprennent une platine de servitude présentant une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques précitées, ladite platine de servitude étant montée du côté intérieur dudit panneau ouvrant. Ce dernier peut constituer une porte d'un véhicule automobile, en particulier une porte de grande largeur.The opening panel according to the invention, which comprises at at least two locks, an external panel opening control located on the outside of the opening panel and a control inner panel opening located on the inner side of said opening panel, as well as connecting means connecting each of the two exterior and interior panel opening controls each of the two locks, is characterized in that said means of linkage include a service plate having one or more several of the aforementioned characteristics, said service plate being mounted on the inside of said opening panel. The latter can constitute a door of a motor vehicle, in particular a door very wide.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent, à titre d'exemple, un véhicule automobile 1 ayant des portes latérales 2 de grande largeur (une seule des portes 2 est visible dans les figures 1 et 2). Chaque porte 2 est équipée de deux serrures S1 et S2, qui peuvent être actionnées, c'est-à-dire ouvertes, au moyen d'une commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3, située sur le côté extérieur de la porte 2 (figure 1), et d'une commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4, située sur le côté intérieur de la porte 2 (figure 3). Les commandes 3 et 4 comprennent des éléments manoeuvrables à la main, qui peuvent être réalisés de toute manière appropriée connue, telle que poignée, levier pivotant, bouton-poussoir, etc.Figures 1 and 2 show, by way of example, a vehicle automobile 1 having very wide side doors 2 (only one doors 2 is visible in Figures 1 and 2). Each door 2 is equipped with two locks S1 and S2, which can be actuated, i.e. open, by means of an external opening control door 3, located on the outside of door 2 (Figure 1), and a interior door opening control 4, located on the interior side of door 2 (figure 3). Commands 3 and 4 include hand-operated elements, which can be made from any suitably known manner, such as handle, pivoting lever, push button, etc.

Comme montré dans la figure 3, les commandes 3 et 4 sont reliées mécaniquement aux serrures S1 et S2 par divers organes allongés (câbles et/ou tringles) de transmission de mouvement, par l'intermédiaire d'une platine de servitude 5, représentée en détail dans la figure 4.As shown in Figure 3, commands 3 and 4 are mechanically connected to the locks S1 and S2 by various members elongated (cables and / or rods) of motion transmission, by via a service plate 5, shown in detail in Figure 4.

La platine de servitude 5 peut être, par exemple, constituée par une plaque métallique ou plastique 6, de forme rectangulaire, percée de quatre trous 7 dans ses angles pour des vis (non montrées) permettant la fixation de la platine sur le côté intérieur de la porte 2, par exemple sur des membrures de renfort de celle-ci ou sur des supports appropriés fixés à la porte. Sur la plaque 6, perpendiculairement à celle-ci, est fixé un axe 8, sur lequel un levier de transfert 9 est monté pivotant.The service plate 5 can be, for example, constituted by a metallic or plastic plate 6, of rectangular shape, drilled with four holes 7 in its corners for screws (not shown) allowing the fixing of the plate on the inside of door 2, for example on reinforcing members thereof or on suitable supports fixed to the door. On plate 6, perpendicular thereto, an axis 8 is fixed, on which a lever transfer 9 is pivotally mounted.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté ici, le levier de transfert 9 a deux bras 9a et 9b qui, dans la configuration représentée, s'étendent respectivement verticalement et horizontalement, l'axe 8 étant situé à peu près au milieu du bras vertical 9a. Le levier 9 est sollicité par un ressort 11 contre une butée 12 qui est solidaire de la plaque 6. La butée 12 définit une position de repos du levier de transfert 9. Le ressort 11 peut être par exemple constitué par un ressort spiral de torsion, qui est enroulé autour de l'axe 8 et dont une branche d'extrémité 11a, recourbée, pousse le bras 9a du levier 9 contre la butée 12, tandis que son autre branche 11b, également recourbée, est attachée en 13 à la plaque 6, par exemple en étant engagée dans un trou de celle-ci.In the embodiment shown here, the transfer lever 9 has two arms 9 a and 9 b which, in the configuration shown, extend respectively vertically and horizontally, the axis 8 being located approximately in the middle of the arm vertical 9 a . The lever 9 is biased by a spring 11 against a stop 12 which is integral with the plate 6. The stop 12 defines a rest position of the transfer lever 9. The spring 11 may for example be constituted by a spiral torsion spring, which is wound around the axis 8 and of which an end branch 11 a , bent, pushes the arm 9 a of the lever 9 against the stop 12, while its other branch 11 b , also bent, is attached at 13 to the plate 6, for example by being engaged in a hole thereof.

A l'extrémité inférieure de son bras 9a, le levier de transfert 9 comporte un premier point d'attache 14 pour un organe allongé 15 de transmission de mouvement ou de force, par exemple un câble sous gaine, qui est relié à la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4. De préférence, le point d'attache 14 est réalisé sous la forme d'une liaison à mouvement perdu. Par exemple, l'élément central 15a du câble sous gaine 15 peut passer à travers une fente ou un trou 16 du levier de transfert 9 et être pourvu d'une butée 17, par exemple sous la forme d'une tête cylindrique ou sphérique, qui est libre de se déplacer dans une certaine mesure, dans une lumière oblongue 18 formée dans le levier de transfert 9, dans des conditions qui seront expliquées plus loin.At the lower end of its arm 9 a , the transfer lever 9 has a first attachment point 14 for an elongated member 15 for transmitting movement or force, for example a sheathed cable, which is connected to the control interior door opening 4. Preferably, the attachment point 14 is made in the form of a lost movement connection. For example, the central element 15 a of the sheathed cable 15 can pass through a slot or a hole 16 in the transfer lever 9 and be provided with a stop 17, for example in the form of a cylindrical or spherical head , which is free to move to some extent, in an oblong slot 18 formed in the transfer lever 9, under conditions which will be explained later.

A l'extrémité de son bras 9b qui est éloignée de l'axe 8, le levier de transfert 9 porte une partie d'appui 19. La partie d'appui 19 peut être par exemple constituée par une patte repliée à angle droit par rapport au levier de transfert 9 et qui, en service, s'étend à peu près horizontalement dans la position de repos dudit levier. Cette partie d'appui 19 est destinée à coopérer avec une tringle de poussée 21, qui est reliée à la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3 de façon à pouvoir être déplacée longitudinalement et verticalement par cette dernière. At the end of its arm 9 b which is distant from the axis 8, the transfer lever 9 carries a support part 19. The support part 19 may for example be constituted by a tab folded at right angles by relative to the transfer lever 9 and which, in service, extends approximately horizontally in the rest position of said lever. This support part 19 is intended to cooperate with a push rod 21, which is connected to the external door opening control 3 so that it can be moved longitudinally and vertically by the latter.

Le levier de transfert 9 comporte deux autres points d'attache désignés respectivement par les références 22 et 23 respectivement pour des organes allongés 24 et 25 de transmission de mouvement ou force, qui sont reliés respectivement aux serrures S1 et S2. Le point d'attache 22 est formé dans le bras 9b du levier de transfert 9 et, dans le cas où l'organe allongé 24 de transmission de mouvement est constitué par une tringle, ce point d'attache 22 peut être simplement constitué par un trou propre à recevoir une extrémité repliée de la tringle 24. L'autre point d'attache 23 est situé à l'extrémité supérieure du bras 9a du levier de transfert 9. De préférence, au point d'attache 23 se trouve un dispositif de réglage permettant de régler la longueur utile de l'organe allongé 25 de transmission de mouvement. Par exemple, dans le cas où cet organe allongé 25 de transmission de mouvement est constitué par un câble sous gaine, l'élément central de traction 25a du câble sous gaine 25 peut être attaché à une tige filetée 26, qui est vissée dans un trou taraudé 27 prévu à l'extrémité supérieure du bras 9a du levier de transfert 9. A son extrémité opposée par rapport à l'élément central de traction 25a du câble 25, la vis peut comporter un trou à six pans et/ou une fente pour un tournevis approprié.The transfer lever 9 has two other attachment points respectively designated by the references 22 and 23 respectively for elongated members 24 and 25 for transmitting movement or force, which are connected respectively to the locks S1 and S2. The attachment point 22 is formed in the arm 9b of the transfer lever 9 and, in the case where the elongated member 24 for transmitting movement is constituted by a rod, this attachment point 22 can simply be constituted by a hole suitable for receiving a folded end of the rod 24. The other attachment point 23 is located at the upper end of the arm 9 a of the transfer lever 9. Preferably, at the attachment point 23 is a adjusting device for adjusting the useful length of the elongated member 25 for transmitting movement. For example, in the case where this elongated member 25 for transmitting movement consists of a sheathed cable, the central traction element 25 a of the sheathed cable 25 can be attached to a threaded rod 26, which is screwed into a threaded hole 27 provided at the upper end of the arm 9 a of the transfer lever 9. At its opposite end relative to the central traction element 25 a of the cable 25, the screw may include a hexagon hole and / or a slot for a suitable screwdriver.

La platine 5 peut en outre comporter un unique actionneur 28, commandé électriquement, qui permet de neutraliser simultanément les deux serrures S1 et S2. L'actionneur 28 peut être par exemple constitué par un électro-aimant pouvant être actionné, de façon connue en soi, au moyen d'une télécommande sans fil, par exemple une télécommande à infrarouge, et/ou au moyen d'un interrupteur qui peut être lui-même actionné au moyen du verrou de sûreté de la porte, côté conducteur, du véhicule automobile, et/ou au moyen d'un interrupteur qui peut lui-même être actionné au moyen d'un bouton situé à l'intérieur du véhicule automobile. Tous ces modes de commande de l'actionneur 28 sont bien connus et ne font pas partie de l'invention et, pour ces deux raisons, ne seront pas décrits plus en détail. Pour autant que l'invention soit concernée, ce qui importe, c'est que l'organe mobile 28a de l'actionneur 28 ait une première position correspondant à un état décondamné de la porte 2, dans lequel la tringle de poussée 21 peut agir sur la partie d'appui 19 du levier de transfert 9, et une seconde position correspondant à un état condamné de la porte 2, dans lequel la tringle de poussée 21 est empêchée d'agir sur ladite partie d'appui 19. A cet effet, l'organe mobile 28a de l'actionneur est accouplé à un premier bras 29a d'un levier basculant bistable 29, dont un second bras 29b porte un moyen de saisie 31, qui peut venir en prise avec la tige de poussée 21 pour l'écarter latéralement de la partie d'appui 19 du levier de transfert 9 comme on le verra plus loin. Le moyen de saisie 31 peut être par exemple un oeillet ou un crochet qui est formé sur un côté du second bras 29b du levier basculant 29 et à travers lequel passe la tringle de poussée 21.The plate 5 can also comprise a single actuator 28, electrically controlled, which makes it possible to neutralize the two locks S1 and S2 simultaneously. The actuator 28 may for example be constituted by an electromagnet which can be actuated, in a manner known per se, by means of a wireless remote control, for example an infrared remote control, and / or by means of a switch which can itself be actuated by means of the safety lock on the driver's side of the motor vehicle, and / or by means of a switch which can itself be actuated by means of a button located inside of the motor vehicle. All of these actuator 28 control modes are well known and do not form part of the invention and, for these two reasons, will not be described in more detail. As far as the invention is concerned, what matters is that the movable member 28 a of the actuator 28 has a first position corresponding to a unlocked state of the door 2, in which the push rod 21 can act on the support part 19 of the transfer lever 9, and a second position corresponding to a locked state of the door 2, in which the push rod 21 is prevented from acting on said support part 19. At this Indeed, the movable member 28 a of the actuator is coupled to a first arm 29 a of a bistable rocking lever 29, of which a second arm 29 b carries a gripping means 31, which can come into engagement with the rod of thrust 21 to move it laterally from the support part 19 of the transfer lever 9 as will be seen below. The gripping means 31 may for example be an eyelet or a hook which is formed on one side of the second arm 29 b of the rocking lever 29 and through which the push rod 21 passes.

Le levier basculant 29 a deux positions stables qui correspondent respectivement aux première et seconde positions de l'organe mobile 28a de l'actionneur 28. Un ressort 32 monté entre la plaque 6 et le levier basculant 29 fait passer rapidement ce levier 29 de l'une à l'autre de ses deux positions, dans les deux sens, selon le sens de déplacement de l'organe mobile 28a de l'actionneur 28. Dans une première position du levier basculant 29, qui est représentée en trait plein dans la figure 4 et qui correspond à l'état décondamné de la porte 2, l'extrémité inférieure de la tringle de poussée 21 se trouve en face de la partie d'appui 19 du levier de transfert 9. Dans ces conditions, lorsque la tringle de poussée 21 est actionnée (abaissée) par la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3, elle peut agir sur le levier de transfert 9 pour le faire pivoter dans le sens de la flèche F et l'amener dans la position représentée en tirets dans la figure 6. Au cours de ce mouvement de pivotement du levier de transfert 9, le point d'attache 22 s'est déplacé vers le bas, poussant ainsi la tringle 24 qui agit sur la serrure S1 pour l'ouvrir. Simultanément, le point d'attache 23 s'est déplacé sur la droite (vu dans la figure 6), tirant ainsi sur le câble 25a qui agit sur la serrure S2 pour l'ouvrir. Ainsi, dans l'état décondamné de la porte 2, une action sur la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3 provoque l'ouverture simultanée des deux serrures S1 et S2. On notera que l'action sur la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3 n'a aucune influence sur le câble 15a relié à la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4, du fait de la liaison à mouvement perdu formée par la butée 17 et la lumière oblongue 18 au point d'attache 14 du câble 15a sur le levier de transfert 9. Cependant, lorsque le levier de transfert 9 est dans sa position de repos représentée dans la figure 4, cette liaison à mouvement perdu n'empêche pas le câble 15a d'agir immédiatement sur le levier de transfert 9 lorsque la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4 est actionnée, de sorte que les deux serrures S1 et S2 peuvent aussi être ouvertes simultanément par une action sur la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4.The rocking lever 29 has two stable positions corresponding respectively to the first and second positions of the movable member 28 a of the actuator 28. A spring 32 mounted between the plate 6 and the pivot lever 29 rapidly move the lever 29 of the one to the other of its two positions, in both directions, according to the direction of movement of the movable member 28a of the actuator 28. In a first position of the rocking lever 29, which is shown in solid lines in the Figure 4 and which corresponds to the unlocked state of the door 2, the lower end of the push rod 21 is located opposite the support portion 19 of the transfer lever 9. Under these conditions, when the rod thrust 21 is actuated (lowered) by the external door opening control 3, it can act on the transfer lever 9 to rotate it in the direction of arrow F and bring it into the position shown in dashes in the figure 6. During this mo uvement of pivoting of the transfer lever 9, the attachment point 22 has moved down, thus pushing the rod 24 which acts on the lock S1 to open it. Simultaneously, the attachment point 23 has moved to the right (seen in FIG. 6), thus pulling on the cable 25 a which acts on the lock S2 to open it. Thus, in the unlocked state of door 2, an action on the external door opening control 3 causes the simultaneous opening of the two locks S1 and S2. Note that the action control on the outer door opening 3 has no influence on the cable 15 is connected to the indoor control door opening 4, because of the connection with lost motion formed by the abutment 17 and the oblong slot 18 at the point of attachment 14 of the cable 15 a on the transfer lever 9. However, when the transfer lever 9 is in its rest position shown in FIG. 4, this lost movement connection does not not prevent the cable 15 a from acting immediately on the transfer lever 9 when the interior door opening control 4 is actuated, so that the two locks S1 and S2 can also be opened simultaneously by an action on the interior control door opening 4.

Dans une seconde position du levier basculant 29, qui est représentée en tirets dans la figure 7 et qui correspond à l'état condamné de la porte 2, l'extrémité inférieure de la tringle de poussée 21 est écartée latéralement par l'oeillet 31 du levier basculant 29 et ne se trouve plus en face de la partie d'appui 19 du levier de transfert 9. Dans ces conditions, une action sur la commande extérieure d'ouverture de porte 3 n'aura aucun effet sur le levier de transfert 9 et aucune des deux serrures S1 et S2 ne peut donc être ouverte depuis l'extérieur de la porte 2. Par contre, malgré l'état condamné de la porte 2, il est toujours possible d'ouvrir simultanément les deux serrures S1 et S2 par une action sur la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4. En effet, celle-ci peut toujours agir sur le levier de transfert 9 par l'intermédiaire du câble 15, comme montré dans la figure 8.In a second position of the rocking lever 29, which is shown in dashes in Figure 7 and which corresponds to the state locked from door 2, the lower end of the push rod 21 is laterally spread by the eyelet 31 of the rocking lever 29 and does not is more in front of the support part 19 of the transfer lever 9. In these conditions, an action on the external control opening door 3 will have no effect on transfer lever 9 and neither of the two locks S1 and S2 can therefore be opened from the exterior of door 2. However, despite the condemned state of the door 2, it is always possible to simultaneously open the two locks S1 and S2 by an action on the interior door opening control 4. Indeed, it can always act on the transfer lever 9 by through cable 15, as shown in Figure 8.

De préférence, le levier de transfert 9, plus précisément son bras 9b, présente, sur son côté supérieur, un appendice 33. Cet appendice 33 est disposé de telle façon que, lorsque le levier basculant 29 est dans la position représentée en tirets dans les figures 7 et 8, correspondant à l'état condamné de la porte 2, et que le levier de transfert 9 est actionné par la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4 et le câble 15 comme montré dans la figure 8, l'appendice 33 vient en contact avec le levier basculant 29 et agit sur celui-ci pour le faire passer de la position représentée en tirets à la position représentée en trait plein dans la figure 8. Ainsi, l'appendice 33 confère au levier de transfert 9 une fonction de décondamnation de la porte 2 par la commande intérieure d'ouverture de porte 4. Cette fonction est bien connue en elle-même des hommes de l'art sous son appellation anglaise de "over ride".Preferably, the transfer lever 9, more precisely its arm 9b , has, on its upper side, an appendage 33. This appendage 33 is arranged in such a way that, when the rocking lever 29 is in the position shown in dashes in Figures 7 and 8, corresponding to the locked state of door 2, and that the transfer lever 9 is actuated by the interior door opening control 4 and the cable 15 as shown in Figure 8, the appendix 33 comes into contact with the tilting lever 29 and acts on it to move it from the position shown in dashes to the position shown in solid lines in Figure 8. Thus, the appendix 33 gives the transfer lever 9 a unlocking function of door 2 by the interior door opening control 4. This function is well known in itself to those skilled in the art under its English name of "over ride".

Le levier basculant 29 pourrait être supporté et monté pivotant sur un axe porté par la plaque 6 de la platine de servitude 5. Toutefois, selon un mode particulièrement avantageux de la présente invention, le levier basculant 29 peut aussi faire office de "batteuse" pour un verrou de sûreté 34, qui peut être actionné depuis l'extérieur de la porte 2 au moyen d'une clé 35 (figure 5) pour condamner ou décondamner la porte 2. Dans ce cas, le levier basculant 29 comporte, entre ses deux bras 29a et 29b, un moyeu 29c ayant un trou 36 dont la section transversale présente la forme de deux secteurs d'un même cercle, qui sont mutuellement opposés par rapport au centre du cercle et qui ont des angles au centre égaux. Le trou 36 est dimensionné pour pouvoir recevoir longitudinalement, à coulissement, une lame 37 qui est solidaire du barillet tournant 38 du verrou de sûreté 34 et prolonge ledit barillet du côté intérieur de la porte 2. La valeur de l'angle au centre des deux secteurs de cercle du trou 36 est choisie de telle façon que, lorsque l'organe mobile 28a de l'actionneur 28 est déplacé de sa première à sa seconde position, et vice versa, le levier basculant 29 peut pivoter autour de l'axe longitudinal 39 de la lame 37 sans entraíner celle-ci en rotation, donc sans agir sur le barillet 38 du verrou de sûreté 34. Par contre, quelle que soit la position du levier basculant 29, en introduisant la clé 35 dans le verrou de sûreté 34 et en la faisant tourner dans un sens approprié, il est possible de faire tourner le barillet 38 et la lame 37 autour de l'axe 39 pour faire passer le levier basculant dans son autre position, c'est-à-dire dans sa position de condamnation s'il était dans sa position de décondamnation et, inversement, dans sa position de décondamnation s'il était dans sa position de condamnation.The rocking lever 29 could be supported and pivotally mounted on an axis carried by the plate 6 of the service plate 5. However, according to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the rocking lever 29 can also act as a "threshing machine" for a safety lock 34, which can be actuated from outside the door 2 by means of a key 35 (FIG. 5) to lock or unlock the door 2. In this case, the tilting lever 29 comprises, between its two arms 29 a and 29 b , a hub 29 c having a hole 36 whose cross section has the shape of two sectors of the same circle, which are mutually opposite with respect to the center of the circle and which have equal center angles. The hole 36 is dimensioned to be able to receive longitudinally, slidingly, a blade 37 which is integral with the rotating barrel 38 of the safety lock 34 and extends said barrel on the inside of the door 2. The value of the angle at the center of the two circle sectors of the hole 36 is chosen such that, when the movable member 28 a of the actuator 28 is moved from its first to its second position, and vice versa, the rocking lever 29 can pivot around the axis longitudinal 39 of the blade 37 without causing it to rotate, therefore without acting on the barrel 38 of the safety lock 34. On the other hand, whatever the position of the rocking lever 29, by inserting the key 35 in the safety lock 34 and by rotating it in an appropriate direction, it is possible to rotate the barrel 38 and the blade 37 around the axis 39 to pass the rocking lever into its other position, that is to say in its condemnation position if he was t in its unlocking position and, conversely, in its unlocking position if it was in its locking position.

Comme montré dans la figure 5, la lame 37 peut avantageusement avoir une longueur telle qu'elle dépasse au-delà du moyeu 29c du levier basculant 29. Dans ces conditions, un organe de commande 41 (figure 5) manoeuvrable à la main et pourvu d'un trou 42 dont la section transversale correspond à celle de la lame 37 peut être emboíté sur l'extrémité dépassante de ladite lame 37. Ainsi, le levier basculant 29 peut être actionné manuellement depuis le côté intérieur de la porte 2 et, par suite, cette dernière peut être condamnée et décondamnée manuellement depuis l'intérieur en agissant sur l'organe de commande 41, par exemple en cas de panne de batterie.As shown in Figure 5, the blade 37 can advantageously have a length such that it exceeds beyond the hub 29c of the tilting lever 29. Under these conditions, a control 41 (FIG. 5) operable by hand and provided with a hole 42 whose cross section corresponds to that of the blade 37 can be fitted on the protruding end of said blade 37. Thus, the lever tilting 29 can be operated manually from the inner side of door 2 and, consequently, the latter can be closed and manually unlocked from the inside by acting on the organ 41, for example in the event of a battery failure.

Il va de soi que le mode de réalisation de l'invention qui a été décrit ci-dessus a été donné à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et nullement limitatif, et que de nombreuses modifications peuvent être facilement apportées par l'homme de l'art sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. C'est ainsi que les deux câbles 15 et 25 pourraient être remplacés par des tringles. De même, la tringle 24 pourrait être remplacée par un câble si le mécanisme de la serrure S1 est tel qu'il doit être actionné par un mouvement ascendant de l'organe allongé 24 de transmission de mouvement. Dans ce dernier cas, le câble devra passer sur un galet de renvoi ou le point d'attache 22 devra se situer de l'autre côté de l'axe 8 par rapport à la partie d'appui 19, par exemple sur un autre bras (non montré) du levier de transfert 9, cet autre bras étant situé à gauche du bras 9a du levier de transfert 9 (vu dans la figure 4). En outre, si on le désire, l'ouverture simultanée des deux serrures S1 et S2 pourrait être commandée électriquement, par exemple à l'aide d'un actionneur supplémentaire qui peut être monté sur la plaque 6 de la platine de servitude 5 et accouplé au levier de transfert 9. Ce dernier pourrait aussi commander simultanément plus de deux serrures ; il suffit de prévoir sur le levier 9 un nombre suffisant de points d'attache pour les organes allongés (câbles ou tringles) commandant les serrures.It goes without saying that the embodiment of the invention which has been described above has been given by way of purely indicative and in no way limiting example, and that numerous modifications can be easily made by those skilled in the art. art without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus the two cables 15 and 25 could be replaced by rods. Likewise, the rod 24 could be replaced by a cable if the mechanism of the lock S1 is such that it must be actuated by an upward movement of the elongated member 24 for transmitting movement. In the latter case, the cable must pass over a guide roller or the attachment point 22 must be located on the other side of the axis 8 relative to the support part 19, for example on another arm. (not shown) of the transfer lever 9, this other arm being situated to the left of the arm 9 a of the transfer lever 9 (seen in FIG. 4). In addition, if desired, the simultaneous opening of the two locks S1 and S2 could be controlled electrically, for example using an additional actuator which can be mounted on the plate 6 of the service plate 5 and coupled to the transfer lever 9. The latter could also control more than two locks simultaneously; it suffices to provide the lever 9 with a sufficient number of attachment points for the elongated members (cables or rods) controlling the locks.
