Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of security devices preventing inadvertent closing of a door, in particular for the safety of children.
- the invention in question is a device which is fixed on the side edge of a door, handle side, in order to prevent the abrupt closing of said door on the fingers of a child.
- Accidents are frequent, they are most often due to the handling of doors by young children, the slamming of a door following a draft or its closing on the fingers of a child inadvertently.
- Such a device does not completely prevent the door from closing. However, it obliges the user to push back the head of the safety device to allow the leaf to pass. When the device is positioned high enough, it allows an adult to close the door completely when they want, but prevents a child from getting their fingers caught.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a device of complete safety, which nevertheless allows temporary inhibition.
- the invention relates in its most general sense to a safety device to prevent the untimely closing of a door having a fixed part intended to be fixed on the frame of a door, and a part movable between a position rest in which it is interposed between the frame and the leaf of the door and a position in which it is retracted to authorize the closing of the door characterized in that it also has a temporary inhibition position.
- the temporary inhibition position allows by a simple gesture consisting in pushing the device back into this position to deactivate the device while passing the door. However, closing the door immediately causes the device to tip over to the active position, and as soon as the door is reopened, the safety device will be active again.
- the temporary inhibition position is ensured by magnetic or mechanical coupling between the mobile part and the fixed part.
- the temporary inhibition position is ensured by a bistable zone of the connection between the mobile part and the fixed part.
- the movable part is extended by a blade to move the device out of the temporary inhibition position when the door comes into contact with said blade.
- the device consists of a leaf spring having a general shape of " ⁇ ".
- it is constituted by a spring blade having a median lumen in the connection zone between the fixed part and the mobile part.
- it has a movable part forming a loop.
- it is formed by a folded spring blade to present a fixing lug on the door frame, a wedging zone capable of being interposed between the frame and the edge of the leaf, and a lug coming from position itself between the frame and the door leaf when the door is closed, and extending into the space traversed by the edge of the door in the temporary inhibition position.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a premeir device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the same device
- FIG. 6 and 7 show views in longitudinal section of a second device according to the invention.
- the device shown in Figures 1 and 2 is formed by a spring steel blade with a thickness of 0.3 mm folded to present a tab (1) for fixing to the frame of the door, a loop (2) clean to be inserted between the edge of the frame and the edge of the sash, and an activation tab (3).
- the connection zone (5) between the fixed tab (1) and the movable loop (2) has, in the example produced, a lumen (4) whose purpose is to adapt the stiffness of the spring.
- a permanent magnet (6) is fixed on the fixed tab (1).
- a substantially flat part (7) of the loop (2) sticks against the magnet (6) in the inhibition position.
- the assembly can be coated in a flexible plastic material.
- Figure 3 shows the device in the active position.
- the loop (2) is inserted between the edge (8) of the opening, and the edge (9) of the frame. It thus prevents the door from closing suddenly, and from trapping the fingers of a child for example.
- This temporary inhibition position allows the door to be closed, the loop then being positioned outside the trajectory of the frame, as shown in FIG. 4. However, as soon as the door closes, its edge (8) comes into contact with the tab (3) which extends in its passage, as shown in FIG. 5. This tab (3) then causes the buckle (2) to tilt in a position where the flat area (4) is no longer in contact with the magnet (6). The loop is then released, and returns, by the spring effect, to the active safety position.
- the device As soon as the door is opened again, the device is in the active safety rest position. This prevents the inhibition position from being maintained outside of voluntary situations.
- the device shown in Figures 6 and 7 consists of an L-shaped spring steel blade fixed to the door frame and a locking element 22.
- the locking element (22) has two separate parts (23 and 24) juxtaposed so that the top element (23) is fixed to the back (27) of the leaf spring (21) in a first configuration and the bottom element (24) can be placed on the base ( 25) of the leaf spring (21) in a second configuration.
- this device has at least two stable positions defined by the configuration of the leaf spring. This makes it possible to define a secure position (FIG. 7) and a dodged position (FIG. 6) and possibly a position of total inhibition.
- This blade is obtained by creating a "V” cut perpendicular to the folding axis of the blade and then folded.
- the two sides (81 and 82) of the "V” are brought together and welded to close the "V” and create tension allows two stable positions to be obtained.
- the device may further comprise temporary fixing means between the base (21) and the part in contact with the latter of the locking element (26) which may consist, for example, of clipping.
- temporary fixing means between the base (21) and the part in contact with the latter of the locking element (26) which may consist, for example, of clipping.
