Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-theft case comprising a mobile trigger (3) which in its locked position prevents the removal of the protected article. The trigger (3) is held in a locked position by a means able to interact with a magnetic unlocking tool. The invention is characterized in that said means is formed by a metallic counter-weight (13) which constitutes a shoulder (16) which in the locked position presses against a shoulder (11) provided for on the fixed part. The two shoulders (11, 16) are substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the mobile trigger (3) is displaced to move into the unlocked position.

Description

BOITIER ANTIVOL ANTI-THEFT BOX
La présente invention concerne un boîtier antivol destiné notamment à protéger des articles contre le vol à l'étalage.The present invention relates to an anti-theft casing intended in particular to protect articles against shoplifting.
De tels boîtiers sont bien connus dans leurs principes généraux. Ils comportent habituellement une gâchette mobile empêchant le retrait de l'article protégé en position verrouillée, la gâchette étant maintenue en position verrouillée par un organe propre à interagir avec un outil de déverrouillage magnétique.Such housings are well known in their general principles. They usually include a movable trigger preventing the withdrawal of the protected article in the locked position, the trigger being held in the locked position by a member capable of interacting with a magnetic unlocking tool.
La gâchette vient se positionner au repos pour obturer partiellement la fente d'introduction de l'article, ou pour empêcher 1 ' ouverture d ' une trappe d' accès ou du couvercle du boîtier, ou encore pour bloquer un boîtier comportant deux pièces rotatives .The trigger is positioned at rest to partially close the insertion slot of the article, or to prevent one opening of an access hatch or the housing cover, or to block a housing comprising two rotating parts.
Généralement, l'organe de verrouillage est formé par une lame métallique. Cette solution présente toutefois quelques inconvénients . Cette lame peut se bloquer assez facilement, ce qui se traduit par la nécessité de multiples manipulations avant le déverrouillage de la gâchette. Par ailleurs, cette lame doit nécessairement être positionner très près de la surface du boîtier, pour permettre une interaction satisfaisante avec l'aimant de l'outil de déblocage .Generally, the locking member is formed by a metal blade. However, this solution has some drawbacks. This blade can be blocked quite easily, which results in the need for multiple manipulations before unlocking the trigger. Furthermore, this blade must necessarily be positioned very close to the surface of the housing, to allow satisfactory interaction with the magnet of the release tool.
On connaît également dans 1 ' état de la technique un boîtier antivol décrit dans le brevet européen EP666954, Ce brevet divulgue un coffret muni d'un élément déplaçable axialement et transversalement . Cet élément mobile est verrouillable par une tige pouvant s'engager dans un trou prévu dans le boîtier. Cet élément mobile est soumis à l'action d'un moyen de sollicitation - un ressort - qui tend à déplacer l'élément de verrouillage transversalement et à l'engager dans le trou lorsque l'élément de verrouillage est amené en alignement avec le trou. Un tel dispositif ne s'avère pas totalement satisfaisant. Dans la position de verrouillage, la tige, la cavité prévue dans la gâchette pour guider la tige, et le trou prévu dans le boîtier sont nécessairement alignés. II suffit d'un choc transversal pour qu'une force mécanique transversale vienne s ' opposer à 1 ' action du ressort pour que la gâchette puisse être libérée, sans l'utilisation de l'outil de déverrouillage. Pour cela, il suffit de taper le boîtier contre un support, selon un mouvement présentant une composante principale transversale et une composante de moindre force orientée vers l'avant du boîtier, pour que l'extrémité de la tige sorte du trou prévu dans le boîtier, et libère la gâchette qui se déplace alors vers l'avant. Une fois que la gâchette s'est déplacée vers l'avant du boîtier, la tige ne se trouve plus dans l'alignement du trou, et la gâchette reste alors en position déverrouillée .Also known in the prior art is an anti-theft box described in European patent EP666954. This patent discloses a box provided with an element which can be moved axially and transversely. This mobile element is lockable by a rod which can engage in a hole provided in the housing. This movable element is subjected to the action of a biasing means - a spring - which tends to move the locking element transversely and to engage it in the hole when the locking element is brought into alignment with the hole . Such a device is not entirely satisfactory. In the locked position, the rod, the cavity provided in the trigger for guiding the rod, and the hole provided in the housing are necessarily aligned. It suffices with a transverse shock for a transverse mechanical force to oppose the action of the spring so that the trigger can be released, without the use of the unlocking tool. For that, it is enough to tap the box against a support, according to a movement having a transverse main component and a component of weaker force directed towards the front of the box, so that the end of the rod comes out of the hole provided in the box , and releases the trigger which then moves forward. Once the trigger has moved towards the front of the housing, the rod is no longer in alignment with the hole, and the trigger then remains in the unlocked position.
L'objet de la présente invention est de remédier à l'inconvénient des dispositifs de l'art antérieur, en proposant une nouvelle forme de boîtier basée sur un fonctionnement différent de celui du dispositif décrit dans le brevet EP666954, et évitant le risque d'ouverture intempestive par la simple sortie de la tige du trou sous l'effet d'un choc. A cet effet, l'invention concerne un boîtier antivol comportant une gâchette mobile empêchant le retrait de l'article protégé en position verrouillée, la gâchette étant maintenue en position verrouillée par un organe propre à interagir avec un outil de déverrouillage magnétique, caractérisé en ce que ledit organe est formé par une masselotte métallique présentant un épaulement venant s'appuyer en position verrouillée contre un épaulement prévu sur la partie fixe, les deux épaulements étant sensiblement perpendiculaires à la direction dans laquelle se déplace la gâchette mobile pour passer en position déverrouillée. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le boîtier antivol comporte un moyen pour repousser au repos la gâchette dans une position dans laquelle les deux épaulements interagissent pour immobiliser la masselotte. Selon une variante préférée, la gâchette est mobile selon un premier mouvement longitudinal de déblocage, parallèlement au plan de contact des épaulements, avec une course correspondant sensiblement à la longueur de la zone de contact desdits épaulements, et un deuxième mouvement transversal possible lorsque la masselotte est en position déverrouillée .The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawback of the devices of the prior art, by proposing a new form of housing based on an operation different from that of the device described in patent EP666954, and avoiding the risk of inadvertent opening by the simple exit of the rod from the hole under the effect of a shock. To this end, the invention relates to an anti-theft box comprising a movable trigger preventing the withdrawal of the protected article in the locked position, the trigger being held in the locked position by a member capable of interacting with a magnetic unlocking tool, characterized in that that said member is formed by a metal counterweight having a shoulder which comes to rest in the locked position against a shoulder provided on the fixed part, the two shoulders being substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the movable trigger moves to pass into the unlocked position. According to a preferred embodiment, the anti-theft unit comprises a means for pushing the trigger when at rest in a position in which the two shoulders interact to immobilize the counterweight. According to a preferred variant, the trigger is movable according to a first longitudinal unlocking movement, parallel to the contact plane of the shoulders, with a stroke corresponding substantially to the length of the contact zone of said shoulders, and a second transverse movement possible when the counterweight is in the unlocked position.
Selon une autre variante avantageuse, le boîtier selon 1 ' invention comporte un moyen élastique repoussant la gâchette au repos selon une direction longitudinale de blocage.According to another advantageous variant, the housing according to the invention comprises an elastic means pushing the trigger at rest in a longitudinal locking direction.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, il présente au moins une protubérance longitudinale apte à venir pénétrer dans une cavité longitudinale complémentaire de la gâchette d'une profondeur sensiblement égale à la longueur de contact des épaulements .According to a particular embodiment, it has at least one longitudinal protuberance capable of coming into a longitudinal cavity complementary to the trigger of a depth substantially equal to the contact length of the shoulders.
Selon une variante avantageuse, la masselotte est constituée par une pièce métallique cylindrique.According to an advantageous variant, the counterweight is constituted by a cylindrical metal part.
De préférence, la gâchette est réalisée en une pièce unique en matière plastique présentant un logement pour la masselotte.Preferably, the trigger is produced in a single piece of plastic material having a housing for the counterweight.
Un but additionnel de 1 ' invention est de permettre le déverrouillage avec différents types d'outils connus antérieurement pour des applications spécifiques .An additional object of the invention is to allow unlocking with different types of tools previously known for specific applications.
Les boîtiers antivols de cassettes de l'art antérieur ne sont pas adaptés à un déverrouillage à l'aide d'un outil destiné spécifiquement au déverrouillage d'antivols pour textiles, qui présentent généralement un trou au fond duquel se trouve l'aimant.Cassette anti-theft boxes of the prior art are not suitable for unlocking using a tool specifically intended for unlocking textile anti-theft devices, which generally have a hole at the bottom of which is the magnet.
Le but secondaire de 1 ' invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un boîtier deverrouillable avec le même outil que celui employé pour les articles textiles, et présentant une grande robustesse et sûreté de fonctionnement .The secondary aim of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an unlockable housing with the same tool as that used for the articles. textiles, and with great robustness and operational safety.
A cet effet, la gâchette présente une protubérance sensiblement cylindrique à 1 ' intérieur de laquelle se trouve le logement de la masselotte, la masselotte venant sous l'effet d'un aimant contre la paroi frontale de ce logement.To this end, the trigger has a substantially cylindrical protuberance inside which is the housing for the counterweight, the counterweight coming under the effect of a magnet against the front wall of this housing.
L ' invention sera décrite dans ce qui suit à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés où :The invention will be described in the following by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue partielle du boîtier et de la gâchette, en position fermée ;- Figure 1 shows a partial view of the housing and the trigger, in the closed position;
- la figure 2 représente une vue partielle du boîtier et de la gâchette, en position ouverte ; - la figure 3 représente une vue partielle d'une variante de réalisation du boîtier et de la gâchette, en position fermée ;- Figure 2 shows a partial view of the housing and the trigger, in the open position; - Figure 3 shows a partial view of an alternative embodiment of the housing and the trigger, in the closed position;
- les figures 4 à 7 représentent une vue en coupe d'une variante de réalisation, en position ouverte et fermée .- Figures 4 to 7 show a sectional view of an alternative embodiment, in the open and closed position.
Le boîtier (1) est formé par un cadre en matière plastique s ' ouvrant par une fente (1) pour l'introduction d'un article tel qu'un compact-disque ou une cassette. Une gâchette (3) vient partiellement obturer cette fente en position de verrouillage. Elle empêche ainsi le retrait de l'article. Elle peut être déplacée dans une position représentée en figure 2, où elle libère totalement la fente (2) . Cette gâchette est formée par une pièce moulée creuse, fermée à la partie arrière par une paroi (4) présentant une lumière (5) . Le boîtier présente en arrière de la gâchette une butée (6) s ' étendant transversalement, prolongée par un élément saillant longitudinal (7) constituant un moyen de guidage du déplacement de la partie arrière de la gâchette. La coopération entre cet élément saillant (7) et la lumière (5) permet d'une part un déplacement de le gâchette selon une direction longitudinale, et d'autre part un basculement de la gâchette par pivotement autour de la zone de contact entre le bord de la lumière (5) et l'élément longitudinal (7) .The housing (1) is formed by a plastic frame opening by a slot (1) for the introduction of an article such as a compact disc or a cassette. A trigger (3) partially seals this slot in the locked position. It thus prevents the withdrawal of the article. It can be moved to a position shown in Figure 2, where it completely releases the slot (2). This trigger is formed by a hollow molded part, closed at the rear by a wall (4) having a lumen (5). The housing has behind the trigger a stop (6) extending transversely, extended by a longitudinal projecting element (7) constituting a means for guiding the movement of the rear part of the trigger. The cooperation between this projecting element (7) and the light (5) allows on the one hand a displacement of the trigger in a longitudinal direction, and on the other hand a tilting of the trigger by pivoting around the contact zone between the edge of the lumen (5) and the longitudinal element (7).
La gâchette (3) présente à sa partie avant un logement (8) dans lequel vient pénétrer, en position verrouiller, une butée longitudinale (9) empêchant le déplacement transversal de la gâchette (3). Cette butée est placée dans le prolongement d'une protubérance (10) du boîtier s ' étendant vers l'intérieur de la gâchette. La partie arrière de cette protubérance (10) présente un épaulement (11). Cet épaulement (11) s'étend vers l'arrière du boîtier, sur une longueur 1 de quelques millimètres.The trigger (3) has at its front part a housing (8) into which comes, in the locked position, a longitudinal stop (9) preventing transverse movement of the trigger (3). This stop is placed in the extension of a protuberance (10) of the housing extending towards the inside of the trigger. The rear part of this protuberance (10) has a shoulder (11). This shoulder (11) extends towards the rear of the housing, over a length 1 of a few millimeters.
A sa partie arrière, la gâchette présente un chanfrein (30) transversal permettant le basculement entre une position de verrouillage représentée en figure 1 et la position de déverrouillage représentée en figure 2.At its rear part, the trigger has a transverse chamfer (30) allowing tilting between a locking position shown in FIG. 1 and the unlocking position shown in FIG. 2.
La gâchette (3) présente par ailleurs un logement cylindrique (12) à l'intérieur duquel est placée la masselotte métallique (13). Cette masselotte est repoussée transversalement, en direction du boîtier, par un ressort (14) .The trigger (3) also has a cylindrical housing (12) inside which is placed the metal counterweight (13). This counterweight is pushed transversely, towards the housing, by a spring (14).
La masselotte (13) est prolongée du coté du boîtier par une tige (15) sur laquelle est fixée une têteThe counterweight (13) is extended on the side of the housing by a rod (15) on which is fixed a head
(17) présentant un épaulement (16) s ' étendant dans un plan longitudinal .(17) having a shoulder (16) extending in a longitudinal plane.
Cet épaulement (16) vient en contact, en position verrouillée, avec 1 ' épaulement (11) du boîtier. Il empêche ainsi le retrait de la masselotte (13), même lorsque celle-ci est soumise à l'action d'un aimant. La masselotte peut être réalisée sous forme d'une tige en un matériau ferromagnétique, ou en acier, présentant une nervure annulaire ou par l'association d'une pièce cylindrique magnétique ou ferromagnétique et d'un pied formant 1 ' épaulement de blocage. Le boîtier présente par ailleurs une lame élastique (17) venant s'appuyer contre le logement (12) de la masselotte (13), ou contre une autre paroi transversale de la gâchette (3), pour exercer une pression longitudinale tendant à maintenir les épaulements (11) et (16) en appui l'un contre l'autre. La masselotte ne peut donc se déplacer sous l'effet d'un aimant approché de la surface de la gâchette que lorsque, en même temps, on exerce une pression sur la face frontal avant de la gâchette pour désaccoupler les épaulement (11) et (16) .This shoulder (16) comes into contact, in the locked position, with one shoulder (11) of the housing. It thus prevents the retraction of the counterweight (13), even when the latter is subjected to the action of a magnet. The counterweight can be produced in the form of a rod made of a ferromagnetic material, or of steel, having an annular rib or by the association of a cylindrical magnetic or ferromagnetic part and of a foot forming one blocking shoulder. The housing also has an elastic blade (17) which bears against the housing (12) of the counterweight (13), or against another transverse wall of the trigger (3), to exert a longitudinal pressure tending to maintain the shoulders (11) and (16) in abutment against one another. The counterweight can therefore move under the effect of a magnet approached the surface of the trigger only when, at the same time, pressure is exerted on the front face of the trigger to uncouple the shoulders (11) and ( 16).
La gâchette et la masselotte sont toutes deux verrouillées en position de fermeture. Le basculement de la gâchette afin de déplacer transversalement la partie avant dans une position où elle libère la fente (2) n'est pas possible, car la butée (9) coopère avec la cavité (8) . Pour séparer la butée (9) et la cavité (8) , il faudrait faire avancer la gâchette, ce qui n'est pas possible car la tête (17) vient buter contre la protubérance (10) du boîtier.Both the trigger and the flyweight are locked in the closed position. It is not possible to tilt the trigger in order to transversely move the front part into a position where it releases the slot (2), because the stop (9) cooperates with the cavity (8). To separate the stop (9) and the cavity (8), the trigger should be advanced, which is not possible because the head (17) abuts against the protuberance (10) of the housing.
Il ne suffit pas non plus d'approcher un aimant, car les protubérances (11) et (16) empêchent le retrait de la masselotte (13) . Pour procéder au déverrouillage, il faut tout d'abord exercer une pression longitudinale sur la gâchette (3), vers l'arrière. Cette pression peut être exercée sur la face frontale (20) de la gâchette, où par coopération entre l'outil de déverrouillage et un puits d'ancrage (18) prévue sur la face latérale (19) de la gâchette (3) .Neither is it sufficient to approach a magnet, because the protrusions (11) and (16) prevent the withdrawal of the counterweight (13). To unlock, first apply longitudinal pressure to the rear trigger (3). This pressure can be exerted on the front face (20) of the trigger, where by cooperation between the unlocking tool and an anchoring well (18) provided on the lateral face (19) of the trigger (3).
Cette pression vient s'opposer à la pression exercée par le ressort (17) et provoque le désengagement des épaulement (11) et (16) . La masselotte (13) est toujours repoussée vers le boîtier par le ressort (14) . Toutefois, si un outil de déverrouillage magnétique est approché de la paroi (19) au niveau de la masselotte (13) métallique, celle-ci est attirée dans une position où la tête (17) vient se positionner au-dessus de la rampe (21) formant la face extérieure de la protubérance (10) . La gâchette (3) peut alors avancer, ce qui libère la cavité (8) de la butée (9) , et ce qui permet ensuite le basculement de la gâchette (3) autour de la lumière (5) et le guide longitudinal (7) . Ce guide présente un bourrelet saillant (22) pour éviter le désaccouplement inopiné de la gâchette. Ce bourrelet présente une épaisseur déterminée de façon à permettre le montage en force de la gâchette (3) sur le boîtier (1).This pressure is opposed to the pressure exerted by the spring (17) and causes the disengagement of the shoulders (11) and (16). The counterweight (13) is always pushed back towards the housing by the spring (14). However, if a magnetic unlocking tool is approached to the wall (19) at the level of the metal counterweight (13), the latter is attracted to a position where the head (17) is positioned above the ramp ( 21) forming the outer face of the protuberance (10). The trigger (3) can then advance, which frees the cavity (8) from the stop (9), and which allows then the tilting of the trigger (3) around the light (5) and the longitudinal guide (7). This guide has a protruding bead (22) to avoid unexpected uncoupling of the trigger. This bead has a thickness determined so as to allow the force fitting of the trigger (3) on the housing (1).
La figure 3 représente une vue d'une variante de réalisation. Cette variante diffère essentiellement par le fait que la face latérale (19) de la gâchette n'est pas plane, mais présente une protubérance (12) de forme cylindrique, comprenant une cavité (23) à l'intérieur de laquelle dépasse le logement (12) de la masselotte (13). Cette protubérance (12) est déterminée de façon à permettre la coopération avec un outil de déverrouillage de textiles, où l'aimant est placé au fond d'un renfoncement cylindrique de forme complémentaire de celle de la protubérance (12) . La protubérance (12) est destinée à permettre indifféremment et sans modification l'utilisation d'un premier type d'outil de déverrouillage présentant un puit cylindrique au fond duquel se trouve un aimant, et un deuxième type d'outil de déverrouillage présentant une surface plane munie d'un aimant .Figure 3 shows a view of an alternative embodiment. This variant differs essentially in that the lateral face (19) of the trigger is not planar, but has a protuberance (12) of cylindrical shape, comprising a cavity (23) inside which protrudes the housing ( 12) of the counterweight (13). This protuberance (12) is determined so as to allow cooperation with a textile unlocking tool, where the magnet is placed at the bottom of a cylindrical recess of a shape complementary to that of the protuberance (12). The protuberance (12) is intended to allow indifferently and without modification the use of a first type of unlocking tool having a cylindrical well at the bottom of which is a magnet, and a second type of unlocking tool having a surface plane fitted with a magnet.
Les figures 4 à 7 représentent des variantes de réalisation d'un boîtier permettant l'utilisation de deux types de déverrouilleur .Figures 4 to 7 show alternative embodiments of a housing allowing the use of two types of unlocker.
L'organe mobile (40) présente des dents (41) venant coopérer avec des ergots (42) prévus sur le boîtier pour empêcher l'ouverture du boîtier en position verrouillée. L'organe mobile (40) est repoussé par un ressort en position de déverrouillage. Il peut être bloqué en position de verrouillage par un moyen magnétique de verrouillage modulaire.The movable member (40) has teeth (41) which cooperate with lugs (42) provided on the housing to prevent the opening of the housing in the locked position. The movable member (40) is pushed back by a spring in the unlocked position. It can be locked in the locking position by magnetic modular locking means.
Le premier moyen est constitué par une lame (43) qui est plane au repos, comme représentée en figure 6. Dans cette position de repos, un téton (45) vient se loger dans la lumière (44) de la lame. Ce téton (45), de forme cylindrique dans l'exemple décrit, forme une saillie sur l'organe mobile (40) . La lame étant fixe par rapport au boîtier, l'organe mobile (40) et immobilisé lorsque le téton (45) pénètre dans la lumière (44) . Lorsqu'un aimant est approché de la surface du boîtier, au niveau de l'emplacement de la lame (43), celle-ci se déforme comme représentée en figure 5, pour prendre une forme convexe. Le téton (43) est alors libéré, et l'organe mobile (40) se déplace sous l'action du ressort (46) en position de déverrouillage .The first means consists of a blade (43) which is flat at rest, as shown in FIG. 6. In this rest position, a stud (45) is housed in the light (44) of the blade. This stud (45), of cylindrical shape in the example described, forms a projection on the movable member (40). The blade being fixed relative to the housing, the movable member (40) and immobilized when the stud (45) enters the lumen (44). When a magnet is approached to the surface of the housing, at the location of the blade (43), the latter deforms as shown in FIG. 5, to take a convex shape. The stud (43) is then released, and the movable member (40) moves under the action of the spring (46) in the unlocked position.
L ' armement du boîtier se fait en repoussant l'organe mobile (40) en position de verrouillage à l'aide du bouton (48) prolongeant l'organe mobile (40). Le boîtier peut être adapté très facilement pour l'utilisation avec un déverrouilleur à puit, habituellement utilisé pour des articles textiles.The arming of the housing is done by pushing the movable member (40) into the locked position using the button (48) extending the movable member (40). The housing can be easily adapted for use with a well release, usually used for textile articles.
Il présente à cet effet un logement (50) en forme de dôme ou de cylindre, à l'intérieur duquel est logée une masselotte (51) repoussée vers l'organe mobile (50) par un ressort (52) . Cet organe mobile (50) présente une gorge annulaire (54) délimitant un épaulement (55) .To this end, it has a housing (50) in the form of a dome or cylinder, inside which is a counterweight (51) pushed back towards the movable member (50) by a spring (52). This movable member (50) has an annular groove (54) delimiting a shoulder (55).
L'organe mobile (40) présente une butée (56) présentant un épaulement (57) venant coopérer, en position fermée, avec 1 ' épaulement (55) de la masselotte cylindrique (51) .The movable member (40) has a stop (56) having a shoulder (57) coming to cooperate, in the closed position, with one shoulder (55) of the cylindrical counterweight (51).
Pour verrouiller le boîtier, on repousse l'organe mobile (40) en position de verrouillage à l'aide du bouton d'armement (48). La rampe (58) formant la face arrière de la butée (56) repousse la masselotte (51) dans son logement. Lorsque la masselotte (51) se trouve en avant de la butée (56), elle est repoussée vers l'organe mobile par le ressort (53). Lorsque l'on relâche la pression sur le bouton d'armement (48), l'organe mobile avance sous l'action du ressort (46) jusqu'à ce qu'à ce que la butée (56) viennent en contact avec la masselotte (51) . Le boîtier est alors verrouillé.To lock the housing, the movable member (40) is pushed back into the locked position using the arming button (48). The ramp (58) forming the rear face of the stop (56) pushes the counterweight (51) back into its housing. When the counterweight (51) is located in front of the stop (56), it is pushed back towards the movable member by the spring (53). When the pressure on the arming button (48) is released, the movable member advances under the action of the spring (46) until the stop (56) come into contact with the counterweight (51). The housing is then locked.
Pour déverrouiller le boîtier, on repousse l'organe mobile en arrière à l'aide du bouton d'armement (48). Les épaulements (57, 51) sont alors désengagés, et un aimant approché de la surface du puit (50) attire la masselotte dans une position écartée de l'organe mobile, permettant le passage de la butée (56) . On relâche alors la pression sur le bouton d'armement, et l'organe mobile est repoussé par le ressort (46) en position déverrouillée.To unlock the housing, the movable member is pushed back using the cocking button (48). The shoulders (57, 51) are then disengaged, and a magnet approached the surface of the well (50) attracts the counterweight in a position away from the movable member, allowing the passage of the stop (56). The pressure on the cocking button is then released, and the movable member is pushed back by the spring (46) in the unlocked position.
L'adaptation du boîtier à l'un ou l'autre type de déverrouillage se fait par la mise en place soit de la lame (43) , soit de la masselotte (51) . The adaptation of the housing to one or the other type of unlocking is done by placing either the blade (43) or the counterweight (51).
