The clip is made from rod bent into the shape of a pin with a curved end projection (7e) that engages with a matching notch (2e) in the closed grille or lid. The clip is held under tension in the frame cavity by its two opposite parallel sides (7a, 7b) with only its end projection protruding. The frame can be made with hinge pivots (5) and a clip cavity on two opposite sides to allow the grille or cover to be hinged on either side.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'un cadre, comprenant un élément de couronnement, tel qu'une grille ou un tampon, monté articulé au cadre entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture de ce cadre.The present invention relates to a device for closing a frame, comprising a cap element, such as a grid or a buffer, mounted hinged to the frame between an open position and a closed position of the frame.

Dans ce genre de dispositif de fermeture connu, l'élément de couronnement est soit verrouillable au cadre par des moyens de verrouillage appropriés généralement constitués par un pêne de l'élément de couronnement manoeuvrable à l'aide d'une clé appropriée et une gâche du cadre, soit tout simplement posé sur le cadre sans possibilité de verrouillage à ce dernier.In this type of known closure device, the crowning element is either lockable to the frame by appropriate locking means generally consisting of a bolt of the crowning element operable by means of a suitable key and a strike of the frame, or simply placed on the frame without the possibility of locking to the latter.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif de fermeture d'un cadre par un élément de couronnement donnant la possibilité de disposer l'élément de couronnement en position de fermeture du cadre sans verrouillage de cet élément au cadre ou de verrouiller l'élément de couronnement au cadre à sa position de fermeture.The present invention aims to provide a device for closing a frame by a cap member giving the possibility of arranging the cap member in the closed position of the frame without locking this element to the frame or to lock the element from crown to frame to its closed position.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif de fermeture d'un cadre, comprenant un élément de couronnement, tel qu'une grille ou un tampon, monté articulé au cadre entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture du cadre, est caractérisé en ce que le cadre comprend ménagé dans celui-ci, à l'opposé de l'articulation de l'élément de couronnement au cadre, un logement apte à recevoir amoviblement un organe permettant de verrouiller élastiquement l'élément de couronnement au cadre à sa position de fermeture.For this purpose, according to the invention, the closure device of a frame, comprising a cap member, such as a grid or a buffer, mounted hinged to the frame between an open position and a closed position of the frame , characterized in that the frame comprises formed therein, opposite the articulation of the crown member to the frame, a housing adapted to removably receive a member for resiliently locking the crown member to frame to its closed position.

De préférence, l'organe de verrouillage comprend une tige recourbée approximativement en forme d'épingle dont l'une de ses branches a son extrémité recourbée à convexité opposée à son autre branche et pouvant être introduite par sa partie recourbée de liaison de ses branches dans son logement du cadre au travers d'une fenêtre de ce cadre pour être retenue captive dans son logement par la force élastique de rappel écartant l'une de l'autre les deux branches de la tige en épingle en appui respectivement sur deux faces opposées internes délimitant le logement du cadre, l'extrémité recourbée de la branche de la tige en épingle faisant saillie de la fenêtre du cadre et pouvant s'engager élastiquement dans une cavité conjuguée de l'élément de couronnement en position de fermeture de ce dernier.Preferably, the locking member comprises an approximately pin-shaped curved rod whose one of its branches has its curved end convexity opposite its other branch and can be introduced by its curved connecting portion of its branches in its housing of the frame through a window of this frame to be held captive in its housing by the elastic force of return away from each other the two branches of the hairpin rod bearing respectively on two sides internal opposing delimiting the housing of the frame, the curved end of the branch of the pin stem projecting from the window of the frame and being able to engage elastically in a conjugate cavity of the crown element in the closed position of the latter .

La tige en épingle est retenue captive dans le logement du cadre de manière que ses branches parallèles soient situées dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au plan de l'ouverture du cadre devant être fermée par l'élément de couronnement.The hairpin shaft is retained captive in the housing of the frame so that its parallel branches are located in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the opening of the frame to be closed by the cap member.

La branche de la tige en épingle ayant l'extrémité recourbée de verrouillage a une longueur supérieure à celle de son autre branche et est recourbée sur une portion de la liaison entre sa branche rectiligne et son extrémité recourbée de verrouillage pour permettre à cette dernière de faire saillie de la fenêtre du cadre.The branch of the pin-shaped shaft having the curved locking end has a length greater than that of its other branch and is bent over a portion of the connection between its rectilinear branch and its curved locking end to allow the latter to make protruding from the frame window.

Le logement du cadre débouche à l'intérieur de celui-ci par une seconde fenêtre opposée à la première fenêtre suivant la direction longitudinale de la tige en épingle, la seconde fenêtre permettant l'introduction d'un outil pour expulser la tige en épingle hors de son logement au travers de la première fenêtre.The housing of the frame opens inside it by a second window opposite to the first window in the longitudinal direction of the hairpin, the second window allowing the introduction of a tool to expel the hairpin rod out of his dwelling through the first window.

L'extrémité de la branche rectiligne de la tige en épingle opposée à celle comportant l'extrémité recourbée de verrouillage est également recourbée dans le plan de sa branche en direction de l'autre branche et est élastiquement maintenue en appui sur une portion conjuguée de la face interne correspondante du logement de la tige en épingle de manière à provoquer le rapprochement élastique l'une de l'autre des deux branches lors de l'expulsion de la tige en épingle de son logement.The end of the rectilinear branch of the pin-shaped shaft opposite to that having the curved locking end is also curved in the plane of its branch towards the other branch and is elastically held in abutment on a conjugate portion of the corresponding inner face of the housing of the hairpin rod so as to cause the elastic approximation of the two branches during the expulsion of the hairpin rod from its housing.

L'extrémité recourbée de verrouillage de la branche de la tige en épingle est recourbée dans le plan de cette branche.The curved locking end of the branch of the hairpin shaft is curved in the plane of this branch.

Selon une variante de réalisation, l'extrémité de verrouillage de la branche de la tige en épingle est recourbée en hélice circulaire à la manière de l'extrémité d'un tire-bouchon.According to an alternative embodiment, the locking end of the branch of the pin-shaped shaft is bent in a circular helix in the manner of the end of a corkscrew.

Avantageusement, un organe de blocage, tel qu'une vis, peut être amoviblement fixé dans le cadre au travers du logement de la tige en épingle pour bloquer la branche à extrémité recourbée de cette tige à sa position de verrouillage de l'élément de couronnement.Advantageously, a locking member, such as a screw, can be removably fixed in the frame through the housing of the pin-shaped pin to lock the curved end leg of this rod to its locking position of the crowning element .

Le cadre comprend ménagé dans celui-ci un second logement opposé au premier logement et apte à recevoir amoviblement l'organe permettant de verrouiller élastiquement l'élément de couronnement au cadre à sa position de fermeture, l'élément de couronnement pouvant être au choix monté articulé au côté du cadre où se trouve le premier ou le second logement de façon que le logement opposé à l'articulation de l'élément de couronnement au cadre puisse recevoir l'organe de verrouillage.The frame comprises formed therein a second housing opposite to the first housing and adapted to removably receive the member for resiliently lock the crown member to the frame in its closed position, the crown member can be optionally mounted articulated to the side of the frame where the first or the second housing is located so that the housing opposite the articulation of the crown member to the frame can receive the locking member.

L'invention va être décrite en référence à un équipement de voirie du type comprenant un cadre sur lequel est montée articulée une grille d'une bouche d'égout, mais il est bien entendu qu'elle peut s'appliquer à un autre type d'équipement de voirie tel que celui comprenant un cadre sur lequel est monté articulé un tampon ou couvercle faisant partie d'un regard de chaussée.The invention will be described with reference to road equipment of the type comprising a frame on which is mounted articulated a grate of a manhole, but it is understood that it can be applied to another type of road. road equipment such as that comprising a frame on which is mounted hinged a buffer or cover forming part of a manhole.

En se reportant aux figures 1 à 9, la référence 1 désigne un cadre dans le cas présent rectangulaire et pouvant être fermé par une grille 2 montée articulée au cadre 1 entre une position d'ouverture du cadre et une position de fermeture de celui-ci représentée en figure 1 à laquelle la grille 2 est logée dans le cadre 1.Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9, the reference numeral 1 designates a frame in the present rectangular case and that can be closed by a grid 2 mounted articulated to the frame 1 between an open position of the frame and a closed position thereof shown in Figure 1 to which the grid 2 is housed in the frame 1.

La grille 2 est de forme concave à concavité dirigée à l'extérieur et le cadre 1 a ses deux côtés transversaux 3 en considérant la figure 1 de forme concave de manière qu'en position de fermeture de la grille 2 dans le cadre 1, cette grille épouse la forme concave des côtés transversaux 3.The gate 2 is of concave concavity-shaped shape directed to the outside and the frame 1 has its two transverse sides 3 considering FIG. 1 of concave shape so that in the closed position of the gate 2 in the frame 1, this grid marries the concave shape of the transverse sides 3.

Bien entendu, la grille et les côtés 3 de cadre 1 peuvent être plats de manière en position de fermeture de la grille 2, celle-ci soit située dans le même plan que les quatre côtés de ce cadre.Of course, the grid and the frame sides 3 may be flat in a closed position of the grid 2, it is located in the same plane as the four sides of this frame.

La grille 2 est articulée au cadre 1 par deux axes cylindriques coaxiaux 4 solidaires respectivement des deux côtés opposés concaves 3 du cadre 1 et s'engageant dans des perçages correspondant 5 de l'extrémité 2a de la grille, de manière que l'axe d'articulation X-X' s'étende parallèlement à l'un des côtés 3 du cadre 1 perpendiculaire aux deux côtés concaves de ce cadre.The grid 2 is hinged to the frame 1 by two coaxial cylindrical axes 4 secured respectively to the two opposite concave sides 3 of the frame 1 and engaging in corresponding bores 5 of the end 2a of the grid, so that the axis d articulation XX 'extends parallel to one of the sides 3 of the frame 1 perpendicular to the two concave sides of this frame.

Le logement 6 est réalisé dans un boîtier 8 externe au côté correspondant 3 du cadre 1 et venant de fonderie avec ce dernier lorsque le cadre 1, ainsi que la grille 2, sont en fonte. Ce logement débouche dans le cadre par la face interne du côté correspondant 3 de ce cadre d'une part par une fenêtre 9 permettant l'introduction de l'organe de verrouillage 7 dans le logement 6 et d'autre part par une seconde fenêtre 10 destinée à l'introduction d'un outil pour permettre l'expulsion de l'organe de verrouillage 7 du logement 6 comme on le verra ultérieurement.The housing 6 is made in an outer casing 8 to the corresponding side 3 of the frame 1 and coming from casting with the latter when the frame 1, and the gate 2, are cast iron. This housing opens into the frame by the inner face of the corresponding side 3 of this frame on the one hand by a window 9 allowing the introduction of the locking member 7 in the housing 6 and other part by a second window 10 for the introduction of a tool to allow the expulsion of the locking member 7 of the housing 6 as will be seen later.

Les deux fenêtres 9, 10 sont espacées l'une de l'autre en étant situées dans un même plan perpendiculaire et longitudinal au côté 3 du cadre 1. Comme cela ressort de la figure 3, les deux fenêtres 9, 10 sont en forme de trous oblongs alignés, la fenêtre 9 ayant une longueur supérieure à celle de la fenêtre 10, mais il est bien entendu que ces fenêtres peuvent avoir des formes différentes.The two windows 9, 10 are spaced apart from one another in the same plane perpendicular and longitudinal to the side 3 of the frame 1. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the two windows 9, 10 are in the form of oblong holes aligned, the window 9 having a length greater than that of the window 10, but it is understood that these windows can have different shapes.

Le logement 6 comprend une partie sensiblement rectiligne 6a parallèle au côté correspondant 3 du cadre 1 et définie entre deux parois externe 8a et interne 8b du boîtier 8, une partie courbe 6b raccordant la partie 6a à la fenêtre 9 et une partie rectiligne 6c sensiblement perpendiculaire au côté 3 et raccordant la partie 6a à l'autre fenêtre 10.The housing 6 comprises a substantially straight portion 6a parallel to the corresponding side 3 of the frame 1 and defined between two outer walls 8a and 8b inner housing 8, a curved portion 6b connecting the portion 6a to the window 9 and a rectilinear portion 6c substantially perpendicular at the side 3 and connecting the part 6a to the other window 10.

L'organe de verrouillage 7 est constitué par une tige recourbée approximativement en forme d'épingle ayant deux branches rectilignes parallèles 7a, 7b pouvant se rapprocher ou s'écarter élastiquement l'une de l'autre et raccordées l'une à l'autre par la branche de liaison coudée d'extrémité 7c.The locking member 7 is constituted by an approximately pin-shaped curved rod having two parallel rectilinear branches 7a, 7b that can move toward or away elastically from one another and connected to each other by the end bent connecting arm 7c.

La branche rectiligne 7a, de plus grande longueur que celle de la branche 7b, est prolongée par une partie arquée 7d s'éloignant de l'autre branche rectiligne 7b de l'organe 7 et se terminant par une extrémité recourbée 7e en une forme analogue à celle d'un crochet et à convexité opposée à la branche 7b. La branche 7b de l'organe de verrouillage 7 a son extrémité libre 7f qui est recourbée vers la partie courbe 7d de la branche 7a de cet organe.The rectilinear branch 7a, of greater length than that of the branch 7b, is extended by an arcuate portion 7d away from the other rectilinear branch 7b of the member 7 and ending with a curved end 7e in a similar form to that of a hook and convexity opposite the branch 7b. The branch 7b of the locking member 7 has its free end 7f which is curved towards the curved portion 7d of the branch 7a of this member.

Lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est logé dans le logement 6, les deux branches rectilignes 7a, 7b de celui-ci sont élastiquement en appui respectivement sur les deux faces internes opposées des parois 8a, 8b du boîtier 8 du fait que la distance séparant ces deux faces internes est telle qu'elles contraignent élastiquement l'une vers l'autre les deux branches 7a, 7b et l'extrémité libre recourbée 7e fait saillie dans le cadre 1 au travers de la fenêtre 9 comme cela ressort de la figure 2. L'extrémité courbée 7f de la branche 7b de l'organe de verrouillage 7 est en appui sur une partie conjuguée de la face interne de la paroi externe 8a du boîtier 8 et est prolongée par la face interne de la paroi 8a délimitant le passage courbe 6b du logement 6. La partie arquée 7b de l'organe de verrouillage 7 est en appui sur une partie conjuguée de la face interne de la paroi 8b et définissant également le passage courbe 6b du logement 6. Ainsi, l'organe élastique de verrouillage 7 est maintenu captif dans le logement 6 du cadre 1. A cette position, les branches 7a, 7b, la partie courbe 7d et les extrémités 7e, 7f de l'organe sont situées dans un même plan parallèle au plan de l'ouverture du cadre 1 et s'étendent suivant la même direction longitudinale que celle des fenêtres 9, 10.When the locking member 7 is housed in the housing 6, the two rectilinear branches 7a, 7b thereof are resiliently bearing respectively on the two opposite inner faces of the walls 8a, 8b of the housing 8 because the distance separating these two internal faces is such that they force elastically towards one another the two branches 7a, 7b and the curved free end 7e projects in the frame 1 through the window 9 as shown in Figure 2. The curved end 7f of the branch 7b of the locking member 7 is supported on a conjugate portion of the inner face of the outer wall 8a of the housing 8 and is extended by the face internal wall 8a defining the curved passage 6b of the housing 6. The arcuate portion 7b of the locking member 7 bears on a conjugate portion of the inner face of the wall 8b and also defining the curved passage 6b of the housing 6 Thus, the resilient locking member 7 is held captive in the housing 6 of the frame 1. At this position, the branches 7a, 7b, the curved portion 7d and the ends 7e, 7f of the member are located in the same plan parallel to the plan of the ouve frame 1 and extend in the same longitudinal direction as the windows 9, 10.

Lors du pivotement de la grille 2 à sa position de fermeture du cadre 1, le bord inférieur de l'extrémité 2b de cette grille vient en appui sur l'extrémité recourbée 7e de l'organe 7 pour la déplacer élastiquement dans le passage courbé 6b du logement 6 et la paroi frontale de l'extrémité 2a de la grille 2 comporte une cavité 2c en forme de calotte sphérique dans laquelle s'engage élastiquement l'extrémité recourbée 7e de l'organe 7 pour assurer le verrouillage de la grille 2 dans le cadre 1.When pivoting the gate 2 to its closed position of the frame 1, the lower edge of the end 2b of this gate rests on the curved end 7e of the member 7 to move it elastically in the curved passage 6b of the housing 6 and the front wall of the end 2a of the grid 2 comprises a cavity 2c in the form of a spherical cap in which the curved end 7e of the member 7 is resiliently engaged to ensure the locking of the grid 2 in the frame 1.

La figure 6 montre la manière selon laquelle l'organe de verrouillage 7 est logé dans le logement 6 du cadre 1. Ainsi, l'organe 7 est présenté de façon que son extrémité recourbée 7c soit en regard de la fenêtre 9 puis cette extrémité est introduite dans le logement 6 si nécessaire à l'aide d'un outil telle qu'une pince à la position intermédiaire représentée en traits mixtes en figure 6 jusqu'à ce que l'organe 7 s'engage à sa position définitive et captive dans le logement 6 après rapprochement élastique l'une de l'autre des branches 7a, 7b de l'organe 7 lors de cette introduction qui est facilitée par le passage d'entrée courbe 6a du logement 6.FIG. 6 shows the manner in which the locking member 7 is housed in the housing 6 of the frame 1. Thus, the member 7 is presented so that its curved end 7c is facing the window 9 and this end is introduced into the housing 6 if necessary using a tool such as a clamp to the intermediate position shown in phantom in Figure 6 until the member 7 engages in its position final and captive in the housing 6 after elastic approximation of the other branches 7a, 7b of the member 7 during this introduction which is facilitated by the curved inlet passage 6a of the housing 6.

Lorsque l'on souhaite retirer l'organe de verrouillage 7 du logement 6, il suffit d'introduire l'extrémité d'un outil, tel que par exemple un tournevis, dans la fenêtre 10 pour agir sur l'extrémité recourbée 7c de l'organe 7 et le forcer à sortir du logement au travers de l'ouverture 9 par rapprochement élastique l'une de l'autre des branches 7a, 7b de l'organe 7, rapprochement facilité notamment par la portion de paroi arquée de la face interne de la paroi 8a du boîtier 8 sur laquelle repose l'extrémité courbée 7f de la branche 7b de cet organe, la figure 6 représentant également en traits mixtes la position que peut occuper l'organe 7 lors de son extraction du logement 6.When it is desired to remove the locking member 7 of the housing 6, it is sufficient to introduce the end of a tool, such as for example a screwdriver, into the window 10 to act on the curved end 7c of the 7 and force member out of the housing through the opening 9 by elastically approximation of the other branches 7a, 7b of the member 7, brought closer especially by the arcuate wall portion of the face internal wall 8a of the housing 8 on which rests the curved end 7f of the branch 7b of this body, 6 also showing in phantom the position that can occupy the member 7 during its extraction of the housing 6.

Comme représenté en figure 8, l'extrémité 2b de la grille 2 comporte une rainure 2d s'étendant le long de cette extrémité et dans laquelle est fixé un support élastique SE à section transversale en T renversé venant en appui sur le rebord la du cache en position de fermeture de la grille 2.As represented in FIG. 8, the end 2b of the grid 2 comprises a groove 2d extending along this end and in which is fixed an elastic support SE with an inverted T cross-section resting on the edge of the cover in the closed position of the grid 2.

On comprend de ce qui précède que l'équipement de voirie à cadre 1 et élément de couronnement 2 constitué dans le cas présent par la grille 2, peut être livré avec l'organe de verrouillage 7 laissant à l'utilisateur la possibilité d'utiliser ou non cet organe pour par conséquent assurer ou non le verrouillage de l'élément de couronnement dans le cadre 1. Cet équipement de voirie peut être également tout simplement livré sans l'organe de verrouillage et, ultérieurement, l'utilisateur peut commander cet organe pour assurer le verrouillage de l'élément de couronnement dans le cadre 1 si nécessaire.It will be understood from the foregoing that the road equipment with a frame 1 and a coping element 2 constituted in this case by the grid 2 can be delivered with the locking member 7 leaving the user the possibility of using or not this member to therefore or not ensure the locking of the cap element in the frame 1. This road equipment can also be simply delivered without the locking member and later the user can control this organ to secure the cap element in frame 1 if necessary.

Selon la variante de réalisation représentée aux figures 7 et 8, il est possible d'utiliser un organe amoviblement fixé au cadre 1 pour bloquer l'extrémité recourbée 7e de l'organe de verrouillage 7 à sa position de verrouillage dans la cavité 2c de la grille 2. De préférence, cet organe de blocage est constitué par une vis 11 vissée dans le côté 3 du cadre 1 en traversant le logement 6 au niveau de son passage courbé 6a perpendiculairement au plan de l'organe 7. La vis 11 se trouve ainsi en regard de la face d'extrémité 7e1 de l'extrémité recourbée 7e de l'organe 7 de manière à empêcher le déplacement élastique de cette extrémité vers le passage courbe 6a et, par conséquent, retenir l'extrémité 7e dans la cavité 2c de la grille 2 pour verrouiller cette dernière dans le cadre 1.According to the embodiment variant shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is possible to use an element removably attached to the frame 1 to lock the curved end 7e of the locking member 7 to its locking position in the cavity 2c of the grid 2. Preferably, this locking member is constituted by a screw 11 screwed into the side 3 of the frame 1 through the housing 6 at its curved passage 6a perpendicular to the plane of the member 7. The screw 11 is thus facing the end face 7e1 of the curved end 7e of the organ 7 so as to prevent the elastic displacement of this end to the curved passage 6a and, consequently, retain the end 7e in the cavity 2c of the gate 2 to lock the latter in the frame 1.

Avantageusement, le cadre 1 est pourvu d'un second logement 6 réalisé dans un autre boîtier 8 solidaire du côté 3 du cadre 1 opposé au premier boîtier 8 et la grille 2 peut être montée articulée au côté 3 du cadre 1 comportant le premier boîtier 8 de manière que la grille puisse être montée pivotante au choix à l'un des côtés 3 du cadre 1 et que l'organe de verrouillage 7 puisse être introduit dans le logement 6 du boîtier 8 opposé à l'axe d'articulation de la grille 2 au cadre 1 pour verrouiller élastiquement la grille à ce cadre. Bien entendu, les extrémités opposées 2a, 2b de la grille 2 sont symétriques au plan médian de la grille s'étendant parallèlement aux côtés 2a, 2b. Ainsi, à partir de la figure 7, il est possible de monter la grille 2 en l'articulant au côté 3 du cadre 1 opposé à l'axe X-X' par retournement de la grille 2 de 180° autour de son axe central de symétrie perpendiculaire au plan de cette grille de manière que la cavité 2c soit située en regard du côté 3 du cadre 1 comportant l'autre boîtier 8 dans lequel peut être introduit l'organe de verrouillage 7 de la grille 2 au cadre 1.Advantageously, the frame 1 is provided with a second housing 6 made in another housing 8 integral with the side 3 of the frame 1 opposite the first housing 8 and the grid 2 can be hinged to the side 3 of the frame 1 having the first housing 8 so that the grid can be pivotally mounted to one of the sides 3 of the frame 1 and the locking member 7 can be introduced into the housing 6 of the housing 8 opposite to the axis of articulation of the grid 2 to frame 1 to lock the grid elastically to this frame. Of course, the opposite ends 2a, 2b of the grid 2 are symmetrical to the median plane of the grid extending parallel to the sides 2a, 2b. Thus, from Figure 7, it is possible to mount the grid 2 by articulating the side 3 of the frame 1 opposite the axis XX 'by turning the gate 2 180 ° around its central axis of symmetry perpendicular to the plane of this grid so that the cavity 2c is located opposite the side 3 of the frame 1 comprising the other housing 8 in which the locking member 7 of the grid 2 can be inserted into the frame 1.

Le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 10 à 13 ne diffère du mode de réalisation précédemment décrit que par la forme de l'organe de verrouillage 7.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 differs from the previously described embodiment only in the shape of the locking member 7.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'organe 7 comprend, comme précédemment décrit, deux branches rectilignes parallèles 7a, 7b, la partie de liaison recourbée 7c de ces deux branches, l'extrémité courbe 7f de la branche 7b et la partie courbe 7d prolongeant la branche 7a, toutes situées dans un même plan, mais son extrémité 7e est recourbée en hélice circulaire à la manière de l'extrémité d'un tire-bouchon. En position captive dans son logement 6 de l'un ou l'autre des deux côtés opposés 3 du cadre 1, l'extrémité 7e fait saillie de l'ouverture 9 en s'étendant approximativement dans un plan transversalement perpendiculaire à ce côté. Bien entendu, l'ouverture 9 est de dimension appropriée pour permettre à l'extrémité 7e de l'organe de verrouillage 7 de faire saillie au travers de celle-ci dans le cadre 1.According to this embodiment, the member 7 comprises, as previously described, two parallel rectilinear branches 7a, 7b, the curved connection portion 7c of these two branches, the curved end 7f of the branch 7b and the curved portion 7d extending the branch 7a, all located in the same plane, but its end 7e is bent in a circular helix in the manner of the end of a corkscrew. In the captive position in its housing 6 of one or other of the two opposite sides 3 of the frame 1, the end 7e protrudes from the opening 9 extending approximately in a plane transversely perpendicular to this side. Of course, the opening 9 is of appropriate size to allow the end 7e of the locking member 7 to project through it in the frame 1.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de verrouiller élastiquement un élément de couronnement dans un cadre 1 à l'aide d'un organe de verrouillage d'une structure relativement simple et qui peut être très facilement retiré du cadre pour que l'élément de couronnement puisse obturer le cadre sans être verrouillé à celui-ci. Ce dispositif peut s'appliquer à un ensemble à cadre et tampon circulaires.The device of the invention makes it possible to resiliently lock a crown element in a frame 1 by means of a locking member of a relatively simple structure and which can be very easily removed from the frame so that the crowning element can close the frame without being locked to it. This device can be applied to a set with circular frame and buffer.
