Abstract

The lock mechanism consists of a flat bar (19) that slides in a vertical edge channel of a sliding door or window and has two or more hook-shaped bolts (31, 32) to engage with a fixed frame. The bar is linked to a sliding actuator (2) by a forked connector (5) shaped to engage with a hole (20) in the bar and pass through a slot (18) in the window of door edge to connect with the actuator.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage dit multi-pênes ou multipoints pour ouvrant coulissant -notamment de fenêtre, porte ou analogue- comprenant une tringle munie d'au moins deux pênes répartis selon une direction longitudinale de ladite tringle. La tringle est montée sur l'ouvrant de façon à pouvoir être déplacée le long du chant de l'ouvrant, en translation selon sa direction longitudinale, sous l'action d'un coulisseau de commande monté coulissant selon ladite direction longitudinale de translation dans une ferrure de l'ouvrant.The invention relates to a so-called locking / unlocking device. multi-bolts or multipoints for sliding opening - in particular window, door or analogous- comprising a rod provided with at least two bolts distributed according to a longitudinal direction of said rod. The rod is mounted on the sash so that ability to be moved along the edge of the sash, in translation in its direction longitudinal, under the action of a control slide mounted to slide according to said longitudinal direction of translation in a fitting of the opening.

La plupart des dispositifs multipoints connus utilisent une ferrure spécifique dont le coulisseau de commande est exclusivement adapté, dès sa conception, pour recevoir des moyens de liaison en translation longitudinale de la tringle et dudit coulisseau. Ainsi, dans le dispositif décrit par FR-2 702 511, le coulisseau, dit doigt de manoeuvre, de la ferrure et la tringle sont liés par un axe dont une extrémité filetée est vissée dans un alésage correspondant du doigt de manoeuvre et dont l'autre extrémité est encastrée dans un trou de même section ménagé dans la tringle. FR-2 702 511 décrit également un autre dispositif, dont la ferrure est munie d'une fourchette d'actionnement, déplacée en translation longitudinale par une poignée à crémone, et entre les branches de laquelle s'étend un doigt de manoeuvre rigidement fixé sur la tringle. FR-2 712 337 décrit par ailleurs un dispositif dont la ferrure comprend un axe de commande transversal, déplacé en translation longitudinale par pivotement d'un levier d'actionnement, et qui s'étend entre les branches d'une fourche en U fixée sur la tringle.Most known multipoint devices use a fitting specific whose control slider is exclusively adapted, from its conception, to receive connecting means in longitudinal translation of the rod and said slide. Thus, in the device described by FR-2 702 511, the slide, called the finger maneuver, hardware and rod are linked by a pin, one threaded end of which is screwed into a corresponding bore of the operating finger and the other end of which is embedded in a hole of the same section made in the rod. FR-2 702 511 described also another device, the fitting of which is provided with an actuating fork, moved in longitudinal translation by a lever handle, and between the branches of which extends a maneuvering finger rigidly fixed on the rod. FR-2,712,337 described in addition, a device whose fitting comprises a transverse control axis, moved in longitudinal translation by pivoting an actuating lever, and which extends between the branches of a U-shaped fork fixed on the rod.

On connaít par ailleurs des dispositifs multipoints réalisés à partir d'une ferrure pouvant également être utilisée dans un dispositif à point unique (dispositif pourvu d'un unique pêne de verrouillage). Le coulisseau de commande d'une telle ferrure présente un logement s'ouvrant latéralement vers le chant de l'ouvrant, adapté pour recevoir ledit pêne. EP-801 194 décrit un dispositif conçu à partir d'une telle ferrure. Les moyens de liaison de son coulisseau de commande et de la tringle comprennent un verrou (ou pêne), encastré, d'une part, dans le logement du coulisseau de commande, et, d'autre part, dans une "fenêtre" correspondante de la platine centrale de la tringle. We also know multipoint devices made from a fitting that can also be used in a single point device (device with a single locking bolt). The control slide of such a fitting has a housing opening laterally towards the edge of the opening, suitable for receive said bolt. EP-801 194 describes a device designed from such a fitting. The connecting means of its control slide and the rod comprise a lock (or bolt), recessed, on the one hand, in the housing of the control slide, and, on the other part, in a corresponding "window" of the central plate of the rod.

Un tel dispositif présente l'avantage d'utiliser une ferrure classique de dispositif à point unique, ce qui conduit à une réduction sensible des coûts de développement et de fabrication puisqu'une seule ferrure peut être fabriquée en grande quantité pour plusieurs types de dispositifs.Such a device has the advantage of using a conventional fitting single-point device, which leads to a significant reduction in the costs of development and manufacturing since only one fitting can be manufactured in large quantity for several types of devices.

Ce dispositif présente cependant un défaut majeur : les moyens de liaison de la tringle et du coulisseau de commande imposent la position relative de ladite tringle et dudit coulisseau selon une direction, dite profondeur, ,orthogonale à un plan frontal de l'ouvrant. Ils n'autorisent aucune variation ni aucun réglage de cette position relative. Or, la position relative de la tringle et du coulisseau de commande en profondeur est également dictée par la géométrie de l'ouvrant, et notamment par sa profondeur (dimension de l'ouvrant selon la profondeur). En conséquence, pour chaque profondeur d'ouvrant est prévu un modèle de dispositif de verrouillage, c'est-à-dire un modèle de ferrure, un modèle de tringle et un verrou de liaison adapté. La multiplication des modèles grève considérablement les coûts de production.However, this device has a major defect: the means of linkage of the rod and the control slide impose the relative position of said rod and said slide in a direction, called depth, orthogonal to a plane opening of the opening. They do not allow any variation or adjustment of this position relative. However, the relative position of the rod and the depth control slide is also dictated by the geometry of the opening, and in particular by its depth (dimension of the opening according to the depth). Consequently, for each depth opening is provided a model of locking device, that is to say a model of fitting, a rod model and a suitable connecting lock. The proliferation of models considerably strike down production costs.

L'invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage multipoints dont la ferrure incorpore un coulisseau de commande pourvu d'un logement à ouverture latérale pour la réception d'un pêne, et qui peut être monté dans divers modèles d'ouvrant, et notamment dans des ouvrants de profondeurs différentes. L'invention vise ainsi à proposer une ferrure destinée non seulement aux dispositifs multipoints mais aussi aux dispositifs de verrouillage à point unique.The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a multi-point locking / unlocking device, the fitting of which incorporates a control slide provided with a side opening housing for receiving a bolt, and which can be mounted in various opening models, and in particular in openings of different depths. The invention thus aims to propose a fitting intended not only to multipoint devices but also to locking devices with single point.

L'invention vise en particulier à proposer un dispositif pouvant être immédiatement adapté à un modèle d'ouvrant ou à un autre, de façon simple et automatique, c'est-à-dire sans avoir à effectuer d'opération ni de manipulation particulière du dispositif en vue de son adaptation à l'ouvrant concerné.The invention aims in particular to propose a device which can be immediately adapted to one opening model or another, in a simple and automatic, that is to say without having to perform any operation or particular manipulation of the device with a view to adapting it to the opening concerned.

En outre, elle vise à proposer un dispositif facile et rapide à mettre en oeuvre non seulement en usine, lors de la fabrication de l'ouvrant, mais aussi sur chantier, dans le cadre, par exemple, d'une réparation ou d'un remplacement du système de verrouillage/déverrouillage d'un ouvrant de fenêtre ou de porte monté dans un dormant. In addition, it aims to offer an easy and quick device to put on. used not only in the factory, during the manufacture of the opening, but also on site, for example, in the event of repair or replacement of the system for locking / unlocking a window or door opening mounted in a sleeping.

L'invention vise également à proposer un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage simple et peu coûteux.The invention also aims to propose a device for simple and inexpensive locking / unlocking.

To do this, the invention relates to a locking / unlocking device for opening - notably a door, window or the like - sliding in a direction, called the sliding direction, comprising:
  • a rod carrying at least two locking bolts spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the rod, said bolts forming hooks projecting from the rod in a direction at least substantially parallel to the sliding direction when the device is mounted in the sash,
  • means for mounting the rod on the opening adapted to be able to guide said rod along a edge of the opening in translation in the longitudinal direction of the rod and edge, corresponding to a locking / unlocking direction of the bolts ,
  • a fitting intended to be inserted into a light, called mounting light, of a front wall of the opening, said fitting comprising means for fixing the fitting to the opening and a control slide mounted to slide in a housing the fitting in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of translation of the rod, said control slide having a housing opening laterally on an opening formed in a side of the housing intended to be opposite the edge of the opening,
  • means for translating the rod and the control slide in said longitudinal direction, adapted to prohibit relative movements of the rod and the control slide in the longitudinal direction of translation, so that the rod can be driven in translation from the movements of the control slide, said connection means comprising, on the one hand, at least one connection piece distinct from the control slide and the rod, intended to cooperate with the housing of the control slide, and, d 'other hand, means for assembling said connecting piece to the control slide, adapted to prohibit relative movements of the control slide and the connecting piece in the longitudinal direction of translation and in depth.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les moyens de liaison comprennent des moyens d'assemblage d'au moins une pièce de liaison à la tringle, adaptés pour interdire des déplacements relatifs de la tringle et de la pièce de liaison selon la direction longitudinale de translation et autoriser, au moins au montage, un positionnement relatif de la tringle et de la pièce de liaison en profondeur.The device according to the invention is characterized in that the means connecting means comprise means for assembling at least one connecting piece to the rod, adapted to prohibit relative movements of the rod and the workpiece connection in the longitudinal direction of translation and authorize, at least during assembly, relative positioning of the rod and the connecting piece in depth.

On entend par "profondeur", une direction orthogonale à un plan frontal de l'ouvrant (lorsque le dispositif est monté dans l'ouvrant), c'est-à-dire orthogonale à la direction de coulissement et à la direction longitudinale de translation. Cette direction correspond également à la profondeur de la ferrure (considérée isolément), orthogonale à un plan frontal de cette dernière, défini par exemple par les ailes d'appui dont elle dispose pour pouvoir être plaquée contre une paroi de l'ouvrant. Le terme "profondeur" est également utilisé pour désigner la dimension d'un élément selon cette direction. A noter également qu'une pièce de liaison est dite "distincte du coulisseau de commande et de la tringle" dès lors qu'elle est, avant montage du dispositif, indépendante dudit coulisseau et de ladite tringle, et qu'elle peut être associée au coulisseau de commande et à la tringle et dissociée de ces derniers par simple positionnement relatif et au moyen de liaisons par contact et/ou par frottement, à l'exclusion de liaisons rigides "irréversibles" du type soudure."Depth" means a direction orthogonal to a plane front of the sash (when the device is mounted in the sash), i.e. orthogonal to the sliding direction and the longitudinal direction of translation. This direction also corresponds to the depth of the fitting (considered in isolation), orthogonal to a frontal plane of the latter, defined for example by the support wings which it has to be able to be pressed against a wall of the opening. The term "depth" is also used to denote the dimension of an element according to this direction. Also note that a connecting piece is said to be "separate from the slide of control and rod "as soon as it is, before mounting the device, independent said slide and said rod, and that it can be associated with the slide control and rod and dissociated from them by simple relative positioning and by means of contact and / or friction connections, excluding rigid connections "irreversible" of the welding type.

Avantageusement et selon l'invention, les moyens d'assemblage d'au moins une pièce de liaison à la tringle comprennent des moyens d'accouplement de la tringle et de la pièce de liaison adaptés pour autoriser des déplacements relatifs de ladite tringle et de ladite pièce de liaison en profondeur, et des moyens de blocage adaptés pour interdire ces déplacements relatifs après agencement desdits moyens de blocage, c'est-à-dire notamment une fois le montage du dispositif dans l'ouvrant réalisé.Advantageously and according to the invention, the means of assembling at least at least one connecting piece to the rod comprise means for coupling the rod and connecting piece adapted to allow relative movements of said rod and said connecting piece in depth, and locking means adapted for prohibit these relative movements after arrangement of said blocking means, that is to say in particular once the device has been mounted in the opening.

En variante, les moyens d'assemblage d'au moins une pièce de liaison à la tringle sont adaptés pour interdire des déplacements relatifs de la tringle et de la pièce de liaison selon la direction longitudinale de translation et en profondeur, et les moyens d'assemblage d'au moins une pièce de liaison au coulisseau de commande sont adaptés pour interdire des déplacements relatifs de la pièce de liaison et du coulisseau de commande selon la direction longitudinale de translation et autoriser, au moins au montage, un positionnement relatif de la pièce de liaison et du coulisseau de commande en profondeur.As a variant, the means of assembling at least one piece of link to the rod are adapted to prohibit relative movements of the rod and the connecting piece in the longitudinal direction of translation and in depth, and the means of assembling at least one connecting piece to the control slide are adapted to prohibit relative movements of the connecting piece and the slide control in the longitudinal direction of translation and authorize, at least at least mounting, relative positioning of the connecting piece and the control slide in depth.

Dans une version préférée de l'invention, les moyens de liaison comprennent une unique pièce de liaison, distincte de la tringle et du coulisseau de commande.In a preferred version of the invention, the connecting means include a single connecting piece, separate from the rod and the slide ordered.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la pièce de liaison (unique) comprend une plaque présentant, d'une part, une première extrémité destinée à être encastrée (de préférence au moment du montage du dispositif dans l'ouvrant) dans le logement du coulisseau de commande, selon la direction de coulissement et depuis l'ouverture du flanc du boítier de ferrure, ladite première extrémité présentant un encombrement correspondant, au jeu près (nécessaire au montage), au volume dudit logement, de façon à interdire des déplacements relatifs du coulisseau de commande et de la plaque selon la direction longitudinale de translation et en profondeur. La plaque présente, d'autre part, une deuxième extrémité destinée à traverser, selon la direction de coulissement, une lumière ménagée dans la tringle ayant une dimension longitudinale au moins sensiblement égale à une dimension longitudinale de la deuxième extrémité (de façon à interdire des déplacements relatifs de la plaque et de la tringle selon cette direction) et une profondeur supérieure à une profondeur de ladite deuxième extrémité (de façon à autoriser des déplacements relatifs de la plaque et de la tringle selon cette direction, en vue de permettre la liaison du coulisseau de commande et de la tringle, ce, quelle que soit leur position relative selon la profondeur, qui est imposée par le modèle de l'ouvrant). Typiquement, la plaque est rectangulaire, de faible épaisseur ("l'épaisseur" de la plaque désigne sa dimension selon la profondeur), et s'étend principalement selon la direction de coulissement entre la tringle et le coulisseau de commande sur une longueur adaptée pour permettre de relier le coulisseau de commande et la tringle, ce, quelle que soit la distance les séparant selon la direction de coulissement (qui est imposée par le modèle de l'ouvrant).According to a first embodiment, the connecting piece (single) comprises a plate having, on the one hand, a first end intended to be recessed (preferably when mounting the device in the sash) in the control slide housing, in the sliding direction and from the opening of the side of the fitting box, said first end having a space required, to the nearest clearance (necessary for mounting), to the volume of said housing, so as to prevent relative movements of the control slide and of the plate in the longitudinal direction of translation and in depth. The plaque has, on the other hand, a second end intended to cross, in the direction of sliding, a light formed in the rod having a longitudinal dimension at less substantially equal to a longitudinal dimension of the second end (of so as to prohibit relative movements of the plate and the rod according to this direction) and a depth greater than a depth of said second end (so as to allow relative movements of the plate and the rod according to this direction, in order to allow the connection of the control slide and the rod, this, whatever their relative position according to the depth, which is imposed by the model of opening). Typically, the plate is rectangular, thin (the "thickness" of the plate designates its dimension according to the depth), and extends mainly according to the sliding direction between the rod and the control slide over a length suitable for connecting the control slide and the rod, whatever either the distance between them in the sliding direction (which is imposed by the opening model).

En variante, la pièce de liaison (unique) comprend une fourche à deux branches rigides destinées à être en regard l'une de l'autre selon la direction longitudinale de translation, lesdites branches présentant, d'une part, des extrémités liées destinées à être encastrées dans le logement du coulisseau de commande, selon la direction de coulissement et depuis l'ouverture du flanc du boítier de ferrure, et d'autre part, des extrémités libres destinées à traverser, selon la direction de coulissement, une lumière ménagée dans la tringle et à être en appui contre deux bords opposés de ladite lumière en regard selon la direction longitudinale, ladite lumière ayant une profondeur supérieure à une profondeur desdites extrémités libres (de façon à autoriser des déplacements relatifs de la fourche et de la tringle en profondeur). Les moyens de liaison comprennent par ailleurs des moyens de blocage, comportant une vis pointeau (vis conique) destinée à être montée depuis une façade frontale de la ferrure de façon à traverser le coulisseau entre les deux branches de la fourche en vue de permettre d'écarter -élastiquement ou plastiquement- lesdites branches, ladite vis pointeau ayant un diamètre (par exemple, s'agissant d'une vis conique, son plus grand diamètre) égal ou supérieur à un écartement desdites branches, dit écartement de blocage, pour lequel les extrémités libres des branches sont en appui contre les bords de la lumière de la tringle.Alternatively, the connecting piece (single) comprises a fork two rigid branches intended to be facing each other in the direction longitudinal translation, said branches having, on the one hand, linked ends intended to be embedded in the housing of the control slide, according to the sliding direction and from the opening of the side of the fitting box, and other part, free ends intended to cross, in the sliding direction, a light provided in the rod and to be pressed against two opposite edges of said light opposite in the longitudinal direction, said light having a depth greater than a depth of said free ends (so as to allow relative displacements of the fork and the rod in depth). The means of connection moreover comprise blocking means, comprising a needle screw (screw conical) intended to be mounted from a front face of the fitting so as to cross the slide between the two branches of the fork in order to spread -elastically or plastically- said branches, said needle screw having a diameter (for example, in the case of a conical screw, its largest diameter) equal to or greater than a spacing of said branches, said blocking spacing, for which the ends free branches are supported against the edges of the light of the rod.

Avantageusement et selon l'invention, l'extrémité libre d'au moins une branche de la fourche est dotée d'une gorge externe s'étendant selon la profondeur, destinée à venir coiffer un bord de la lumière et à former une double butée interdisant des déplacements relatifs de la tringle et de la fourche selon la direction de coulissement. Dans une version préférée, les deux extrémités libres sont équipées d'une telle gorge de butée.Advantageously and according to the invention, the free end of at least a branch of the fork has an external groove extending along the depth, intended to come to cap an edge of the light and to form a double stop prohibiting relative displacements of the rod and the fork according to the sliding direction. In a preferred version, the two free ends are equipped with such a groove stop.

Plusieurs modes de réalisation sont alors possibles pour permettre l'assemblage de la fourche et de la tringle. En particulier, dans un premier mode de réalisation, les deux branches rigides de la fourche peuvent être liées par une âme autorisant de faibles variations élastiques ou plastiques de l'écartement desdites branches entre un écartement de blocage, pour lequel la distance séparant le fond des deux gorges correspond au moins sensiblement à la dimension longitudinale de la lumière de la tringle, et un écartement de montage, inférieur, pour lequel l'encombrement longitudinal des extrémités libres des branches (c'est-à-dire notamment la distance entre les rebords extrêmes, dits becs, des deux gorges) est inférieur à la dimension longitudinale de la lumière.Several embodiments are then possible to allow the assembly of the fork and the rod. In particular, in a first mode of embodiment, the two rigid branches of the fork can be linked by a core allowing small elastic or plastic variations in the spacing of said branches between a blocking gap, for which the distance separating the bottom of the two grooves corresponds at least substantially to the longitudinal dimension of the lumen of the rod, and a mounting distance, lower, for which the longitudinal dimensions free ends of branches (i.e. in particular the distance between the edges extremities, called beaks, of the two gorges) is less than the longitudinal dimension of the light.

En variante, dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, la fourche présente deux branches rigidement liées : l'écartemen est fixe ; il peut éventuellement être légèrement augmenté par serrage de la vis pointeau, de façon à assurer un maintien rigide de la fourche dans la tringle. La dimension des becs formant chacune des deux gorges et la profondeur de la lumière sont alors choisies pour qu'une dimension de la lumière (par exemple la diagonale, si la lumière est rectangulaire) selon une direction, dite direction de montage, différente de la direction longitudinale, soit supérieure à l'encombrement des extrémités libres des branches. Pour assembler la tringle et la fourche, on positionne la fourche face à la lumière de telle sorte que ses extrémités libres soient en regard selon ladite direction de montage, on insère lesdites extrémités libres dans la lumière et on fait pivoter la fourche autour d'un axe orthogonal à ladite lumière (axe parallèle à la direction de coulissement lorsque la tringle est montée dans l'ouvrant) pour l'agencer dans sa position définitive relativement à la tringle.Alternatively, in a second embodiment, the fork has two rigidly linked branches: the spread is fixed; he can possibly be slightly increased by tightening the needle screw, so as to maintain rigid fork in the rod. The size of the spouts forming each of the two grooves and the depth of the light are then chosen so that a dimension of the light (for example the diagonal, if the light is rectangular) in a direction, said mounting direction, different from the longitudinal direction, or greater than the size of the free ends of the branches. To assemble the rod and the fork, we position the fork facing the light so that its free ends are facing each other according to said mounting direction, said free ends are inserted in the light and we rotate the fork around an axis orthogonal to said light (axis parallel to the sliding direction when the rod is mounted in the sash) to arrange it in its final position relative to the rod.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation précédents, avantageusement et selon l'invention, la lumière présente au moins une dimension, dite dimension de montage, supérieure à un encombrement minimal des extrémités libres de la fourche. Dans le premier mode décrit, ladite dimension de montage de la lumière est, par exemple, sa dimension longitudinale, et l'encombrement minimal correspond à l'encombrement des extrémités libres lorsque les branches de la fourche sont distantes de l'écartement de montage. Dans le deuxième mode décrit, la dimension de montage de la lumière est, par exemple, sa diagonale, et l'encombrement minimal correspond à l'encombrement des extrémités libres de la fourche (qui est invariable).In the two previous embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, the light has at least one dimension, called dimension of mounting, greater than the minimum dimensions of the free ends of the fork. In the first mode described, said dimension of mounting of the light is, for example, its longitudinal dimension, and the minimum size corresponds to the size of the free ends when the fork legs are distant from the mounting. In the second mode described, the mounting dimension of the light is, by example, its diagonal, and the minimum size corresponds to the size of the free ends of the fork (which is invariable).

  • if necessary, the locking means of the connecting piece are arranged.

Dans le cas particulier d'une unique pièce de liaison en forme de fourche maintenue dans sa position de travail (position relative définitive par rapport à la tringle et au coulisseau de commande lorsque le dispositif est monté dans l'ouvrant) par l'intermédiaire d'une vis pointeau et d'une ou plusieurs butées, telles que les bords de la lumière de la tringle contre lesquels s'appuient les extrémités libres de la fourche ou les gorges desdites extrémités, et/ou le fond du logement du coulisseau contre lequel la vis plaque l'âme et une partie des branches de la fourche, etc. : on introduit la vis pointeau dans le coulisseau de commande depuis une façade frontale de la ferrure, et on serre ladite vis pointeau jusqu'au blocage de la fourche dans la tringle et dans le coulisseau de commande. In the particular case of a single connecting piece in the form of fork maintained in its working position (final relative position in relation to the rod and to the control slide when the device is mounted in the sash) by through a needle screw and one or more stops, such as the edges of the rod light against which the free ends of the fork rest or grooves of said ends, and / or the bottom of the slide housing against which the screw plates the core and part of the fork legs, etc. : we introduce the needle screw in the control slide from a front face of the fitting, and it is tightened said needle screw until the fork locks in the rod and in the slide ordered.

L'invention s'étend à un ouvrant coulissant, notamment de porte, de fenêtre ou analogue, équipé d'un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage tel que défini ci-avant.The invention extends to a sliding leaf, in particular of a door, of window or the like, fitted with a locking / unlocking device as defined above.

L'invention concerne également un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage, un procédé de montage d'un tel dispositif dans un ouvrant, et un ouvrant équipé d'un tel dispositif, caractérisés en combinaison par tout ou partie des caractéristiques mentionnées ci-dessus et ci-après.The invention also relates to a device for locking / unlocking, a method of mounting such a device in an opening, and an opening fitted with such a device, characterized in combination by all or some of the features mentioned above and below.

D'autres buts, caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description suivante qui se réfère aux figures annexées représentant des modes de réalisation préférentiels de l'invention donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, et dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de face schématique d'un dispositif selon l'invention dont une partie est vue en coupe selon un plan parallèle à un plan frontal de l'ouvrant.
Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description which refers to the appended figures representing preferential embodiments of the invention given solely by way of nonlimiting examples, and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a device according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a schematic front view of a device according to the invention, part of which is seen in section along a plane parallel to a front plane of the opening.

Dans toute la suite, le dispositif selon l'invention est décrit dans un référentiel relatif à un ouvrant 17 (dans lequel le dispositif est destiné à être monté), défini par les trois directions orthogonales suivantes : la direction de translation longitudinale de la tringle, correspondant à la direction longitudinale du chant de l'ouvrant, la direction de coulissement de l'ouvrant, et la profondeur.In the following, the device according to the invention is described in a frame of reference relating to an opening leaf 17 (in which the device is intended to be mounted), defined by the following three orthogonal directions: the direction of translation longitudinal of the rod, corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the edge of the opening, the sliding direction of the opening, and the depth.

Le dispositif selon l'invention illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 comprend une tringle 19 destinée à coulisser le long du chant 23 de l'ouvrant coulissant 17 d'une porte ou d'une fenêtre. La tringle 19 porte deux pênes 31, 32, un à proximité de chacune de ses extrémités longitudinales 33, 34. Chaque pêne forme un crochet de verrouillage destiné à venir s'emboíter dans une gâche (non représentée) portée par le dormant 36 de la fenêtre ou porte, ou par un autre ouvrant adjacent à l'ouvrant 17. La tringle peut être déplacée entre une position de verrouillage, dans laquelle les pênes 31, 32 sont crochetés dans les gâches associées de façon à interdire le coulissement et donc l'ouverture de l'ouvrant coulissant 17, et une position de déverrouillage, dans laquelle les pênes sont à distance desdites gâches selon la direction longitudinale de translation de façon à autoriser le coulissement et l'ouverture de l'ouvrant. Les pênes 31, 32 sont fixés sur la tringle 19 par tous moyens appropriés : soudure, et/ou sertissage, etc.The device according to the invention illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 includes a rod 19 intended to slide along the edge 23 of the sliding leaf 17 from a door or window. The rod 19 carries two bolts 31, 32, one near each of its longitudinal ends 33, 34. Each bolt forms a hook locking intended to come and fit into a keeper (not shown) carried by the window or door frame 36, or by another window adjacent to window 17. The rod can be moved between a locking position, in which the bolts 31, 32 are hooked in the associated strikes so as to prevent sliding and therefore the opening of the sliding leaf 17, and an unlocking position, in which the bolts are at a distance from said strikes in the longitudinal direction of translation of to allow the sliding and opening of the opening. The bolts 31, 32 are fixed on the rod 19 by any appropriate means: welding, and / or crimping, etc.

Chaque pêne 31, 32 présente une pente 41 rendant le dispositif adapté à différents modèles d'ouvrant. En effet, la distance entre le chant 23 de l'ouvrant et le dormant 36 (ou l'ouvrant adjacent), c'est-à-dire entre la tringle 19 ou les pênes 31, 32 et les gâches, est imposée par le modèle d'ouvrant. La pente 41 permet d'obtenir un crochetage des pênes 31, 32 dans les gâches pour différentes distances chant/gâches, et donc d'utiliser le dispositif représenté pour différents modèles d'ouvrant.Each bolt 31, 32 has a slope 41 making the device suitable for different opening models. Indeed, the distance between edge 23 of the opening and the frame 36 (or the adjacent opening), that is to say between the rod 19 or the bolts 31, 32 and the strikes, is imposed by the opening model. The slope 41 provides a hooking the bolts 31, 32 in the strikes for different edge / strike distances, and therefore to use the device shown for different opening models.

Le dispositif comprend par ailleurs une ferrure 1, comportant un boítier 3 intégrant un coulisseau de commande 2, monté coulissant à l'intérieur dudit boítier 3 selon la direction longitudinale de ladite ferrure, qui correspond à la direction longitudinale de translation de la tringle 19. La ferrure 1 est encastrée à l'intérieure de l'ouvrant 17 par une lumière de montage frontale oblongue 16, et est fixée sur l'ouvrant par des moyens de fixation 25, 26, 27, 29 adaptés, tels que ceux décrits dans la demande de brevet français n°00.09238 de l'inventeur.The device also comprises a fitting 1, comprising a case 3 integrating a control slide 2, mounted sliding inside said housing 3 in the longitudinal direction of said fitting, which corresponds to the direction longitudinal translation of the rod 19. The fitting 1 is embedded inside the opening 17 by an oblong front mounting light 16, and is fixed to the opening by suitable fixing means 25, 26, 27, 29, such as those described in the application French patent No. 00.09238 of the inventor.

Le coulisseau de commande 2 présente un logement 28, accessible latéralement depuis une ouverture ménagée dans un flanc 22 du boítier 3 s'étendant en regard du chant 23 de l'ouvrant. Le logement 28 est adapté pour recevoir un pêne de verrouillage usuel, de sorte qu'une telle ferrure peut être utilisée pour réaliser un dispositif de verrouillage/déverrouillage à point unique. Le coulisseau de commande 2 comprend par ailleurs une poignée frontale 24 pour son déplacement par un utilisateur, permettant de commander les déplacements du pêne éventuellement encastré dans le logement 28. Dans le cas présent, la poignée frontale 24 permet de commander les déplacements de la tringle 19, en vue du verrouillage et du déverrouillage de l'ouvrant 17. Pour ce faire, le dispositif comprend une pièce de liaison 5 de la tringle 19 au coulisseau de commande 2, présentant la forme d'une fourche. Ladite fourche 5 présente deux branches rigides 8 et 9 en regard selon la direction longitudinale de translation, une extrémité 7 de liaison avec le coulisseau de commande 2 et une extrémité opposée 6 de liaison avec la tringle 19. L'extrémité 7 de la fourche est encastrée dans le logement 28 du coulisseau 2 par une ouverture 18 ménagée dans le chant 23 de l'ouvrant, l'ouverture 4 ménagée dans le flanc 22 du boítier de ferrure 3, et une ouverture 35 ménagée dans le coulisseau de commande 2, lesdites ouvertures étant en regard les unes des autres selon la direction de coulissement. Les dimensions (selon la profondeur et selon la direction longitudinale) de l'ouverture 35 du coulisseau de commande sont au moins égales à celles de l'extrémité 7 de la fourche, de façon à permettre l'introduction de ladite extrémité 7 dans le logement 28.The control slide 2 has a housing 28, accessible laterally from an opening in a side 22 of the housing 3 extending in look of song 23 of the opening. The housing 28 is adapted to receive a bolt of usual locking, so that such a fitting can be used to make a device single point locking / unlocking. The control slide 2 includes also a front handle 24 for its movement by a user, allowing to control the movements of the bolt possibly embedded in the housing 28. In the present case, the front handle 24 makes it possible to control the movements of the rod 19, for locking and unlocking the opening 17. To do this, the device comprises a connecting part 5 from the rod 19 to the control slide 2, in the form of a fork. Said fork 5 has two rigid branches 8 and 9 opposite in the longitudinal direction of translation, one end 7 of connection with the control slide 2 and an opposite end 6 for connection with the rod 19. The end 7 of the fork is embedded in the housing 28 of the slide 2 by a opening 18 formed in the edge 23 of the opening, the opening 4 formed in the sidewall 22 of the fitting housing 3, and an opening 35 formed in the control slide 2, said openings being opposite one another in the direction of sliding. The dimensions (depending on the depth and in the longitudinal direction) of the opening 35 of the control slide are at least equal to those of the end 7 of the fork, so as to allow the introduction of said end 7 into the housing 28.

Les profondeurs (dimensions selon la profondeur, correspondant aux largeurs des ouvertures) respectives de l'ouverture 4 du flanc du boítier de ferrure 3 et de l'ouverture 18 du chant 23 sont au moins égales à la profondeur de l'extrémité 7 de la fourche (à noter que la fourche 5 présente préférentiellement une profondeur -encore dite épaisseur- sensiblement constante en tout point). Dans une version de l'invention, la profondeur de l'ouverture 18 ménagée dans le chant 23 est supérieure à celle de l'extrémité 7 de la fourche, pour permettre d'offrir différentes possibilités de positionnement relatif de ladite fourche par rapport à l'ouverture 18, c'est-à-dire différentes possibilités de positionnement relatif de l'ouverture 35 du coulisseau et de l'ouverture 18 du chant. On peut ainsi choisir la ferrure 1 parmi différents modèles de ferrure présentant des profondeurs différentes. On peut surtout utiliser un même modèle de ferrure pour des ouvrants de profondeurs différentes dès lors que les ouvrants présentent des ouvertures 18 de profondeur suffisante.The depths (dimensions according to the depth, corresponding to the widths of the openings) respective to the opening 4 of the side of the fitting box 3 and of the opening 18 of the edge 23 are at least equal to the depth of the end 7 of the fork (note that fork 5 preferably has a depth - still called thickness - substantially constant at all points). In one version of the invention, the depth of the opening 18 formed in the edge 23 is greater than that of the end 7 of the fork, to allow different possibilities of relative positioning of said fork relative to the opening 18, that is to say different possibilities of relative positioning of the opening 35 of the slide and of opening 18 of the song. It is thus possible to choose fitting 1 from different models of fitting with different depths. We can especially use the same model fittings for openings of different depths when the openings have openings 18 of sufficient depth.

La longueur (dimension selon la direction longitudinale de translation) de l'ouverture 4 est au moins égale à la course de ladite fourche en translation longitudinale sous l'action du coulisseau de commande 2, augmentée de la dimension longitudinale de ladite fourche prise en une section de celle-ci située dans le prolongement du flanc 22 du boítier lorsque la fourche est fixée au coulisseau de commande. De la même façon, la longueur de l'ouverture 18 est au moins égale à la course de la fourche 5 augmentée de la dimension longitudinale de ladite fourche prise en une section de celle-ci située dans le prolongement du chant 23 lorsque la fourche est fixée au coulisseau de commande. Les ouvertures 4 et 18 présentent éventuellement des longueurs égales.The length (dimension in the longitudinal direction of translation) of the opening 4 is at least equal to the travel of said fork in translation longitudinal under the action of the control slide 2, increased by the dimension longitudinal of said fork taken in a section thereof located in the extension of the flank 22 of the housing when the fork is fixed to the slide of ordered. Similarly, the length of the opening 18 is at least equal to the stroke of the fork 5 increased by the longitudinal dimension of the said fork a section thereof located in the extension of edge 23 when the fork is attached to the control slide. The openings 4 and 18 possibly have equal lengths.

L'extrémité 6 de liaison de la fourche 5 avec la tringle 19 s'insère dans une lumière 20 de la tringle. Chacune des branches 8, 9 de la fourche présente à son extrémité 6a, 6b, dite extrémité libre, une gorge 13, 14. Lesdites gorges 13, 14 s'étendent selon la profondeur et s'ouvrent vers des directions opposées. La gorge 13 de la branche 8 forme ainsi une pince 11 destinée à coiffer un bord 37 de la lumière 20 s'étendant selon la profondeur ; la gorge 14 de la branche 9 forme une pince opposée 12 destinée à coiffer un bord 38 de la lumière 20, opposé au bord 37 et s'étendant selon la profondeur.The end 6 connecting the fork 5 with the rod 19 is inserted in a light 20 of the rod. Each of the branches 8, 9 of the fork has at its end 6a, 6b, said free end, a groove 13, 14. Said grooves 13, 14 extend depending on the depth and open to opposite directions. Throat 13 of branch 8 thus forms a clamp 11 intended to cover an edge 37 of the lumen 20 extending along the depth; the groove 14 of the branch 9 forms an opposite clamp 12 intended to cap a edge 38 of light 20, opposite edge 37 and extending along the depth.

La lumière 20 présente une longueur (selon la direction longitudinale de translation) au moins sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les fonds des gorges 13 et 14, en vue de permettre l'entraínement en translation de la tringle par déplacement du coulisseau de commande. Elle présente par ailleurs une profondeur largement supérieure à la celle des extrémités 6a, 6b des branches 8, 9, afin de permettre à la fois d'assembler la fourche 5 et la tringle 19 et d'autoriser des déplacements, en profondeur, de la fourche par rapport à la tringle en vue de faire varier et d'ajuster leur position relative en fonction de la profondeur de l'ouvrant.Light 20 has a length (depending on the direction longitudinal translation) at least substantially equal to the distance between the bottoms grooves 13 and 14, in order to allow the drive in translation of the rod by movement of the control slide. It also has depth much greater than that of the ends 6a, 6b of the branches 8, 9, in order to allow both to assemble the fork 5 and the rod 19 and to authorize displacements, in depth, of the fork compared to the rod in order to vary and adjust their relative position depending on the depth of the sash.

L'assemblage de la tringle 19 et de la fourche 5 s'effectue en introduisant ladite fourche dans la lumière 20 dans un plan de montage incliné contenant la diagonale de ladite lumière 20, et en faisant pivoter ladite fourche au moins autour d'un axe parallèle à la direction de coulissement lorsque les gorges 13 et 14 sont au niveau de la lumière 20, dans le prolongement de la tringle 19. Il peut également être nécessaire, pour introduire les extrémités libres 6a, 6b des branches 8, 9 dans la lumière 20, de faire pivoter ladite fourche dans le plan de montage incliné susmentionné autour d'au moins un axe perpendiculaire audit plan, en vue de positionner une première gorge (13 par exemple) dans la lumière 20 (une portion de la pince 11 coiffant le bord 37), puis de positionner la seconde gorge (14) dans ladite lumière (la pince 12 venant coiffer le bord 38).The rod 19 and the fork 5 are assembled in inserting said fork into the lumen 20 in an inclined mounting plane containing the diagonal of said light 20, and by rotating said fork at least around a axis parallel to the sliding direction when the grooves 13 and 14 are at the light 20, in the extension of the rod 19. It may also be necessary, to introduce the free ends 6a, 6b of the branches 8, 9 into the lumen 20, to make pivot said fork in the aforementioned inclined mounting plane around at least one axis perpendicular to said plane, in order to position a first groove (13 by example) in the lumen 20 (a portion of the clamp 11 covering the edge 37), then of position the second groove (14) in said lumen (the clamp 12 covering the edge 38).

En variante, la fourche 5 présente une certaine élasticité au niveau de son âme 10, permettant de faire varier légèrement l'écartement des branches 8 et 9. L'assemblage d'une telle fourche avec la tringle s'effectue en exerçant des pressions opposées sur lesdites branches pour les rapprocher l'une de l'autre afin que l'encombrement de l'extrémité 6 de la fourche soit inférieur à la longueur de la lumière (ou éventuellement à sa diagonale, la fourche étant dans ce cas introduite inclinée dans la lumière, comme précédemment expliqué). A noter, dans ce cas, que la longueur de la lumière 20 est de préférence légèrement inférieure à la distance séparant les fonds des gorges 13 et 14 lorsque la fourche est au repos (c'est-à-dire soumise à aucune force). En variante, l'encombrement nominal (lorsque la fourche n'est soumise à aucune force) de l'extrémité 6 de la fourche est inférieur à la longueur de la lumière 20, et l'assemblage de la fourche et de la tringle est réalisé en écartant les branches 8, 9 au moyen de la vis pointeau 21.As a variant, the fork 5 has a certain elasticity at the level of its core 10, making it possible to vary the spacing of the branches 8 and 9 slightly. The assembly of such a fork with the rod is carried out by applying pressure opposite on said branches to bring them closer to each other so that the size of the end 6 of the fork is less than the length of the light (or possibly at its diagonal, the fork being in this case introduced inclined in the light, as previously explained). Note, in this case, that the length of the light 20 is preferably slightly less than the distance between the bottoms of the grooves 13 and 14 when the fork is at rest (that is to say subjected to no force). In variant, the nominal size (when the fork is not subjected to any force) of the end 6 of the fork is less than the length of the slot 20, and the assembly of the fork and rod is made by spreading the branches 8, 9 by means of the screw needle 21.

Le montage du dispositif s'effectue comme suit :

  • on encastre la ferrure 1 dans la lumière de montage 16 de la paroi frontale 15 de l'ouvrant, et l'on fixe le boítier 3 à ladite paroi ;
  • on assemble la fourche 5 et la tringle 19 comme expliqué ci-dessus. Il est à noter que la tringle et la fourche peuvent être emballées et livrées pré-assemblées,
  • on place la tringle le long du chant 23 en insérant l'extrémité 7 de fourche 5 dans les ouvertures 18, 4 et 35, en déplaçant si nécessaire la fourche 5 en profondeur de façon à la positionner en regard de l'ouverture 35 du coulisseau de commande. Ce positionnement de la fourche par rapport à l'ouverture 35 peut s'effectuer en faisant coulisser les gorges 13, 14 le long des bords 37, 38 manuellement ou au moyen d'une pince permettant de tenir la partie des extrémités 6a, 6b des branches 8, 9 en saillie de la tringle 19. A cette fin, lesdites extrémités 6a, 6b présentent préférentiellement des moyens de préhension (non représentés) adaptés pour coopérer avec les mors de la pince utilisée (complémentarité de forme entre lesdites extrémités et lesdits mors),
  • on agence les moyens de montage et de guidage (non représentés) de la tringle sur le chant. Ces moyens comprennent notamment au moins une glissière couvrant la tringle et dotée de lumières oblongues pour le passage et les mouvements des pênes 31, 32 et des vis de fixation de la glissière au chant 23 de l'ouvrant traversant des lumières de la tringle adaptées pour permettre les déplacements de la tringle en translation,
  • on introduit la vis pointeau 21 depuis la façade frontale 40 de la ferrure dans l'alésage 42 ménagé dans le coulisseau, et l'on serre ladite vis 21. Cette dernière traverse le logement 28 du coulisseau de commande entre les deux branches 8 et 9 de la fourche, à proximité de l'âme 10 de liaison desdites branches. Elle présente un plus grand diamètre au moins égal, de préférence supérieur, à l'écartement -mesuré dans un plan de section perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement et passant par ladite vis pointeau- que présentent les branches 8,9 lorsque les gorges 13, 14 sont en appui contre les bords 37, 38. Le serrage de la vis pointeau 21 permet tout d'abord de plaquer la fourche 5 contre le fond 39 du logement 28 du coulisseau de commande, et d'interdire des déplacements relatifs de la fourche et du coulisseau en profondeur et selon la direction longitudinale de translation. Il permet ensuite de bloquer la fourche 5 dans la tringle 19 et d'interdire leur déplacement relatif (en profondeur et selon la direction longitudinale de translation), lesdites branches 8, 9 exerçant des forces opposées contre les bords 37, 38 selon la direction longitudinale sous l'effet de la vis 21. Enfin, les pinces 11 et 12 de la fourche 5 emboítant les bords 37, 38 de la lumière 20 de la tringle, dont la position relativement au chant 23 selon la direction de coulissement est maintenue fixe par les moyens de montage de ladite tringle, la vis pointeau maintient la fourche 5 dans une position fixe selon la direction de coulissement par rapport au coulisseau de commande. Ainsi, la vis pointeau (en combinaison avec les pinces 11, 12 et le fond 39 du logement 28) permet de réaliser des liaisons rigides entre la fourche et le coulisseau de commande et entre la fourche et la tringle.
The device is assembled as follows:
  • fitting the fitting 1 in the mounting light 16 of the front wall 15 of the opening, and the housing 3 is fixed to said wall;
  • the fork 5 and the rod 19 are assembled as explained above. It should be noted that the rod and the fork can be packed and delivered pre-assembled,
  • the rod is placed along the edge 23 by inserting the fork end 7 5 into the openings 18, 4 and 35, moving the fork 5 deep if necessary so as to position it opposite the opening 35 of the slide control. This positioning of the fork relative to the opening 35 can be carried out by sliding the grooves 13, 14 along the edges 37, 38 manually or by means of a clamp making it possible to hold the part of the ends 6a, 6b of the branches 8, 9 projecting from the rod 19. To this end, said ends 6a, 6b preferably have gripping means (not shown) adapted to cooperate with the jaws of the clamp used (shape complementarity between said ends and said jaws )
  • the mounting and guiding means (not shown) of the rod are arranged on the edge. These means include in particular at least one slide covering the rod and provided with oblong slots for the passage and movements of the bolts 31, 32 and screws for fixing the slide to the edge 23 of the opening passing through the lights of the rod adapted for allow the displacement of the rod in translation,
  • the needle screw 21 is introduced from the front face 40 of the fitting into the bore 42 formed in the slide, and said screw 21 is tightened. The latter passes through the housing 28 of the control slide between the two branches 8 and 9 of the fork, close to the connecting core 10 of said branches. It has a larger diameter at least equal, preferably greater, to the spacing -measured in a plane of section perpendicular to the sliding direction and passing through said needle screw- that the branches 8, 9 present when the grooves 13, 14 are in abutment against the edges 37, 38. The tightening of the needle screw 21 makes it possible first of all to press the fork 5 against the bottom 39 of the housing 28 of the control slide, and to prohibit relative movements of the fork and of the slide in depth and in the longitudinal direction of translation. It then makes it possible to block the fork 5 in the rod 19 and to prohibit their relative movement (in depth and in the longitudinal direction of translation), said branches 8, 9 exerting opposite forces against the edges 37, 38 in the longitudinal direction under the effect of the screw 21. Finally, the clamps 11 and 12 of the fork 5 fitting the edges 37, 38 of the opening 20 of the rod, whose position relative to the edge 23 in the sliding direction is kept fixed by the mounting means of said rod, the needle screw maintains the fork 5 in a fixed position in the sliding direction relative to the control slide. Thus, the needle screw (in combination with the clamps 11, 12 and the bottom 39 of the housing 28) allows for rigid connections between the fork and the control slide and between the fork and the rod.

Le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention est simple et rapide à mettre en oeuvre. Il est automatiquement adaptable à différents types et/ou modèles d'ouvrant.
