Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an operating handle for sliding leaf, and the sliding leaf on which it is mounted.
  • the first type is constituted by a rotating lever handle, crutch or the like, engaged with a square which is engaged in the follower of a cremone housing fixed inside a jamb of the sliding leaf.
  • This cremone box transforms the rotational movement of the handle, into a translational movement that moves the espagnolette rods to a locking position or unlocking the opening.
  • a locking device of this type is described for example in the patent French No 2 591 646 In this device, the lever handle has a dual function: that of allowing the pulling of the sliding sash to the closed or open position and that of controlling, the locking and unlocking of the sash.
  • the second type of operating handle classified in the family of locks or the like, is constituted by the control boxes for sliding doors.
  • These control boxes contain a vertical linear displacement slider, which acts on a bolt or rods to lock or unlock the opening.
  • the slide has an elongate bowl accessible from the outside to control its movement to the locking or unlocking position.
  • Such a device has been described for example in the patent French N ° 2486 577 .
  • the elongate bowl of the slider also has a dual function: that of pulling to move the opening and the control of the locking / unlocking.
  • the third type of operating handle is characterized in that the functions of gripping, locking control and possibly locking are performed by separate members aligned on a common plate and fixed on the amount of the opening.
  • Such a device has been described for example in the patent French n ° 2840 939
  • This device comprises a control member (3) of a drive mechanism of a square (11) pivoting about an actuating axis and a receiving member (10) of the square (11), coaxial and integral with the square (11).
  • the conventional maneuvering handle provides excellent grip, for locking / unlocking, but the opening maneuver, and closing the sash is not made easy by the horizontal position of the handle and its appearance is not always of an aesthetic adapted to the environment.
  • the amplitude of the opening of the leaf is limited by the horizontal position of the handle.
  • the slider control handle is much more discreet, but does not allow optimal grip.
  • the opportunities for improvement, although real, are not always adapted to the environment.
  • the platinum handle with alignment of the control and gripping elements presents real aesthetic possibilities, but in use, the ergonomics are not very good.
  • the shape of grip is not optimal, the fingers tend to slide on the smooth shape of the handle.
  • the machining of the amount of the opening is generally large, weakening the rigidity and reducing the thermal properties of this opening.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of known embodiments by providing an improved operating handle offering all the technical and functional characteristics of known prior types of organs, while offering great aesthetic freedom as to the realization of the aspect of the whole.
  • the invention relates to an operating handle for sliding leaf according to claim 1.
  • the functions of gripping, locking control and possibly locking are performed by separate members fixed directly on the amount of the opening, so easily accessible by the user and requiring little machining preparations of the amount of opening, for their implementation on the opening.
  • the gripping member partially masks the control member so as to show at the first glance of the user, only a sober and aesthetic shape of the gripping member.
  • the control member In its rest position (when the slide is locked), the control member is located in an unobstructed portion below the gripping member.
  • the control member is secured to an angular motion amplifier mechanism housed in the gripping member that activates for locking or unlocking the door.
  • the locking member may be constituted by a cylinder actuated by a key or be electrically operated, magnetic or electromagnetic.
  • control member comprises means for controlling a mechanism cooperating with locking rods mounted in translation in the amount of the opening.
  • This mechanism may be a conventional espagnolette housing whose follower is connected by a square to the angular amplification mechanism, actuated by the rotary control member.
  • the above mechanism may also be a casing containing a slide cooperating in translation with locking rods.
  • the control member is connected to the slider by means for transforming the rotational movement of the control member into a translational movement.
  • the rotary control member may be positioned by detent or snap indexing its rotation on the square cooperating with the cremone housing.
  • the reduced amplitude control member may be integral with a mechanism making the system irreversible, thus enhancing the security of the opening.
  • the control member may also be a rotary member lockable in rotation by a button housed in the gripping member.
  • This control member may also be a rotatable element that can be canceled after locking by a key device.
  • the reduced amplitude controller may have a curved or straight path.
  • the judgment part can receive all types of known devices.
  • the operating handle for sliding leaf comprises, on the one hand, an elongate gripping member (1) in the form of a loop and projecting, intended to be fixed on a post (2) ( Figures 1 and 2 ) of the opening to pull it from a closed position to an open position and vice versa, and secondly, a rotatably mounted knob-shaped control member (3) for controlling the locking and the unlocking of the opening, this control member (3) being in the inactive position, located in alignment with the gripping member (1), and below it.
  • the gripping member (1) and the control member (3) which is located at the hollow portion of the handle (1) form a continuous assembly of aesthetic and ergonomic shape.
  • the gripping member (1) is fixed directly without interposing a plate on the amount of the opening (2) by means of screws (4) ( fig.2 ).
  • the reduced-amplitude control device (3) actuates a motion-amplifying mechanism (7) housed in the gripping member (1) which transmits the rotational movement via a rod (9) with a section polygonal, here square (9) to a mechanism (11) itself fixed on the opening (2); subsequently the term square is used.
  • the driving square (9) is guided in rotation on itself in a bore of the hood (8) ( fig.3 ) of the motion amplifier mechanism (7).
  • the square (9) is extended in the mechanism (7) by a cylindrical receiving member (18) to which it is integral.
  • the control member (3) pivots around a rod forming an axis (6), implanted in the gripping member (1) and in the cover (8) of the motion amplifier mechanism (7).
  • the member (18) of the motion amplifier mechanism (7) comprises a toothing and is actuated by a toothed sector (14) integral with the control member (3), and which drives in rotation the square (9) by meshing.
  • the rotary control knob (3) is secured to a locking hook (16) making the mechanism irreversible ( fig.5 -Phase 1).
  • the hook pivots about the axis (6) with the member (3).
  • the hook (16) in phase 1 is housed at one end in a housing (17) arranged in the receiving member (18). The hook prevents in this position any rotation of the member (18) and the mechanism is said to be irreversible.
