Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of the building, and more particularly to accessories for shutters, wings or other leaves
  • the invention relates in particular to a leaf stop in the open position and folded front.
  • the invention relates to a technical improvement to the solution of the type of that pertaining to the teaching of the patent FR 2 827 625 A which the applicant hereby also holds.
  • the shutter stop comprises an anchor rod at the end of which is mounted, in an articulated manner, a retractable element intended to be folded in abutment against the outer facade of the leaf considered.
  • the rod also receives a stop, mounted with adjustment capacity in length and angular indexing, according to several pre-established positions. This abutment cooperates with the other face of the leaf considered.
  • the stop is subject to locking means in the determined spacing position of said stop relative to the retractable element. Blocking in translation of the abutment relative to the rod is effected by means of a nut screwed on a threaded and split surface that has said abutment and, optionally, in combination with a tapered sleeve also tensioned.
  • one of the problems that the invention proposes to solve is to improve the locking in position of the stop while avoiding any risk of sliding with the possibility of indexing it angularly on any position before the final tightening of the nut.
  • a leaf stop of the type of those comprising, on the one hand, an anchor rod at the end of which is mounted, with pivoting capacity, a blocking element and, secondly, an abutment having a bore formed in its thickness to be mounted with displacement capacity in translation on the rod, said abutment cooperating with means able to ensure its immobility in translation in spaced position determined with respect to said blocking element.
  • the means consist of a bushing mounted on the rod and engaged in the bore of the abutment, said bushing having a conical bearing surface and a threaded bearing projecting from said bore to cooperate with a nut capable of ensuring, under a clamping effect, the tightening of the conical bearing relative to the rod corresponding to the immobilization of the stop.
  • the sleeve is split over its entire length.
  • At least a portion of the bore of the conical bearing surface of the bushing has suitable anchoring asperities. to cooperate, in the clamping position, with additional anchoring asperities that the rod.
  • the asperities are formed on only part of the circumference of the bore of the bushing and the rod.
  • the asperities of the sleeve are formed opposite the slot.
  • the slot is formed over the entire length of the socket.
  • Another problem to be solved by the invention is to ensure the locking in any desired angular position of the abutment relative to the sleeve and, indirectly, relative to the rod.
  • the conical bearing surface of the sleeve has, according to its generatrices, external ribs cooperating with internal ribs that the bore of the abutment presents.
  • the whole of the leaf stop comprises an anchoring screw (1), a locking element (2) and an adjustable stop (3).
  • These various elements are advantageously, but not exclusively, composite material.
  • the anchor rod (1) is shaped to be fixed by sealing or otherwise, in a wall or other support.
  • One of the ends of the rod (1), opposite its fixing portion, is equipped with the locking element (2).
  • this blocking element (2) is in the form of a "sage leaf” being clipped, with articulation capacity, in an eccentric support member (4) fixed at the end of the rod (1). In the folded position against one of the faces of the leaf, the locking element (2) bears against a portion of the rod (1).
  • the inner face of the locking element (2) can be equipped with a buffer, not shown, of flexible material, adapted to cooperate in the abutment position with the corresponding face of the leaf considered.
  • the abutment (3) has a profiled body whose base (3a) has a through bore (3b) to be mounted, with displacement capacity in translation, on the rod (1).
  • the locking in translation of the abutment (3) relative to the rod (1) is achieved by the combination of a sleeve (5) and a nut (6).
  • the sleeve (5) is slotted at (5a) along its entire length and has a conical bearing surface (5b) and a threaded bearing surface (5c) for screwing the nut (6).
  • the sleeve (5) is mounted freely on the rod (1) and is engaged in the bore (3b) of the stop (3), from the end of the rod (1) opposite to that having the element retractable (2).
  • At least part of the bore of the conical bearing surface (5b) of the bushing has anchoring asperities (5d) capable of cooperating, in the clamping position, with additional anchoring asperities (1a). ) that presents the rod (1).
  • the asperities (1a) are formed on only a part of the circumference of the rod (1), on all or part of the length of said rod and according to the generatrices thereof. .
  • the asperities (5d) are formed on only part of the circumference of the bore of the sleeve (5). More particularly, the asperities (5d) are formed opposite the slot (5a).
  • the conical bearing surface (5b) of the bushing (5) has, parallel to its generatrices, external ribs (5b1) cooperating with the internal ribs (3b1) which the bore (3b) of the abutment ( 3).
  • the use of the entire stop according to the invention is particularly simple, safe and effective.
  • the abutment (3), the slotted conical bush (5) and the nut (6) are previously mounted on the rod (1).
  • the nut (6) is arranged between the locking element (2) and the stop (3), while the sleeve (5) is disposed on the other side of the abutment (3), the threaded bearing surface (5c) being arranged opposite the bore (3b).
  • the abutment (3) may have, in its upper part, a buffer (not shown) of flexible material suitable for to cooperate with the leaf.
  • the buffer can be secured to a ring mounted with sliding capacity guided to the upper portion of the stop.
  • the ring is slidably mounted against an elastic return member, in the form, for example, of a spring.
  • anchor rod (1) can form, directly or an attached hinge, the body of the locking element (2).
