Description

La présente invention a pour objet un système de blocage de tiroirs, qui empêche le retournement du meuble, notamment en ce qui concerne les tiroirs de meubles de bureau et similaires.The present invention relates to a locking system of drawers, which prevents the cabinet from turning over, particularly with regard to drawers of office furniture and the like.

A l'heure actuelle, les meubles à tiroirs ou similaires sont profusément utilisés pour archiver des documents de toutes sortes (fiches, chemises, etc.) et de très nombreux dispositifs ont été mis au point, qui, pour empêcher le retournement, ne permettent pas d'avoir plusieurs tiroirs ouverts simultanément, le nombre de brevets étant, à ce sujet, énorme.At present, furniture with drawers or the like is profusely used to archive documents of all kinds (cards, shirts, etc.) and a large number of devices have been developed which, for prevent flipping, do not allow to have several drawers open At the same time, the number of patents is enormous.

Il est déjà connue par EP 738 813 A un système de blocage pour tiroirs de meubles, comprenant pour chaque tiroir un boulon (B) uni au tiroir (C), qui actionne les éléments d'un dispositif de blocage, qui comporte les éléments d'un corp à came et d'une embasse étant tous les dispositives de blocage corrélés entre eux au moyen d'une platine-base montée dans le meuble, et montant sur la platine-base plusieurs éléments glissants avec déplacement longitudinal bidirectionnelle; et montant sur les éléments glissants, de façon fixe, le correspondant dispositif de blocage, étant l'objectif d'écarter verticalement le corp à came de l'embasse au moyen du boulon (B) solidaire du tiroir de meuble.It is already known from EP 738 813 A a locking system for furniture drawers, comprising for each drawer a bolt (B) connected to the drawer (C), which actuates the elements of a locking device, which includes the elements a cam body and a collar being all the locking devices correlated between them by means of a platinum-base mounted in the furniture, and mounting on the platinum-base several sliding elements with longitudinal displacement bidirectional; and mounting on the sliding elements, fixedly, the corresponding blocking device, being the objective of spreading vertically the camming body of the collar by means of the bolt (B) integral with the furniture drawer.

Dans la platine-base de EP 738 813 A, il y a deux classes d'éléments glissants, les séparateurs et les modules-supports, avec les conséquences d'avoir deux classes de production, d'emmagasinage, d'empaquetage etc.In the base plate of EP 738 813 A, there are two classes sliding elements, separators and support modules, together with the consequences of having two classes of production, storage, packaging etc.

La position de chaque module-support de EP 738 813 A est déterminante et reste la position du module-support, il est fixé la position du dispositif de blocage correspondant, de manière que s'il faut changer la position du dispositif de blocage, il est nécessaire de démonter tous les systèmes du guide-support.The position of each EP 738 813 A support module is decisive and remains the position of the module-support, it is fixed the position of the corresponding blocking device, so that if it is necessary to change the position of the locking device, it is necessary to dismantle all systems of the support guide.

Le verrouillage du dispositif de blocage sur le module-support est réalisé par l'intérieur du module-support.Locking of the locking device on the support module is realized by the interior of the module-support.

Le demandeur a tenu à se centrer sur quelques problèmes qui n'ont pas été résolus par les mécanismes mentionnés:

  • a) les éléments des dispositifs sont fabriqués en fonction de la taille du meuble ou des tiroirs, c'est pourquoi, pour chaque fabricant et pour chaque meuble, il faut fabriquer des éléments de différentes tailles, ce qui empêche une standardisation et un enchérissement du prix;
  • b) Une limitation excessive imposée par la fabricant du mécanisme au fabricant du meuble;
  • c) Dispositifs d'actionnement (ressorts) et de blocage disposés en sens contraire ou à des endroits inappropriés;
  • d) Manque de sécurité face à des manipulations;
  • e) Impossibilité d'ouverture en cas de fermeture accidentelle.
    • The applicant was keen to focus on a few issues that were not resolved by the mechanisms mentioned:
  • a) the elements of the devices are manufactured according to the size of the furniture or drawers, therefore, for each manufacturer and for each piece of furniture, it is necessary to manufacture elements of different sizes, which prevents a standardization and an increase of the price;
  • (b) Excessive limitation imposed by the manufacturer of the mechanism on the furniture manufacturer;
  • (c) Actuating (spring) and locking devices in opposite directions or in inappropriate locations;
  • d) Lack of security in the face of manipulation;
  • e) Impossibility of opening in case of accidental closure.

    • Le Modèle d'Utilité espagnol ES 1039 748 U, du même demandeur, résout ces problèmes mais, dans toute la technologie existante (y compris dans les dossiers qui comportent des composants modulaires changeables), on maintient le principe que les efforts de verrouillage et de poussée/travail se font dans la même direction, ce qui fait que le désaccouplement volontaire est difficile et, au contraire, que le désaccouplement involontaire ou accidentel est facile. Spanish Utility Model ES 1039 748 U, by the same applicant, solves these problems, but in all the existing technology (including folders that contain changeable modular components), the principle that the locking and pushing / working efforts are done in the same direction, so that voluntary decoupling is difficult and, at On the contrary, unintentional or accidental decoupling is easy.

    Ces problèmes ont été résolus par l'invention qui est présentée ici, qui varie totalement le principe fondamental de montage (du fait qu'à présent les efforts de verrouillage et les efforts de travail ont lieu dans différentes directions), de sorte que l'accouplement/désaccouplement accidentel est pratiquement impossible sans détérioration irréversible du composant changeable.These problems have been solved by the invention that is presented here, which totally varies the fundamental principle of editing (as locking efforts and work efforts take place in different directions), so that accidental coupling / uncoupling is virtually impossible without irreversible damage to the changeable component.

    Pour mieux comprendre l'objet de la présente invention, on a représenté sur les plans une forme préférentielle de réalisation pratique.To better understand the object of the present invention, we have represented in the planes a preferred embodiment of practical embodiment.

    La figure 1 est une vue en perspective et représente, de façon schématique, le système de blocage pour tiroirs dans des meubles faisant l'objet de l'invention avec leurs composants de base.FIG. 1 is a perspective view and represents, in a schematic, the locking system for drawers in furniture subject to the invention with their basic components.

    Claims (1)

    1. Locking system for furniture drawers, each drawer having a bolt (B) joined to the drawer (C), which activates a locking device (3) of the locking system. All these devices are correlated together by means of a base-flange (1) of the locking system mounted on the piece of furniture. Furthermore, this base-flange (1) mounts a plurality of support-modules (2), which are able to move longitudinally along it. The locking device (3) is mounted on the support-modules (2) in a permanent manner, with means for its mutual interlocking/unlocking between the support-module (2) and the locking device (3). Thus, the base-flange (1) has some longitudinal grooves (11) and the support-modules (2) have some rear flanges (21) combined with the longitudinal grooves (11) of the flange (1) and the means for the mutual interlocking/unlocking between the support-module (2) and the locking device (3) permit the mutual interlocking/unlocking, applying a linear force in an angled direction with respect to the displacement direction of the drawer. This is characterised because the means for the mutual interlocking between support-module (2) and locking device (3) are constituted in each support-module (2) by some longitudinal guide-grooves (2) delimited by front flanges (24), which define some transverse grooves (23) in the bottom and because each locking device (3), (3') has a blind groove (31) whose dimensions adapt to those of the front flanges (24) of the support-module (2) and some side flanges (32) combined with the guide-grooves (22), which define some ridges (33) on the edge, combined with the aforementioned transverse grooves (23) where they are housed by elastic deformation.
