The lever is made of plastic material with low friction coefficient. The lever has an activation handle (5) for activating a coupling finger engaged with the clearance in a rectangular shaped cavity. The finger has an external shape induced in the cavity close to walls of the cavity so as to press the finger on the walls for all angular positions of the cavity and the handle in one direction. The rectangular shaped cavity presents a parallelepiped shape in the section with respect to the rotational axis.

Description

La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de condamnation enfants pour une serrure de porte coulissante d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a child-locking mechanism for a sliding door lock of a motor vehicle.

Certains véhicules automobiles comportent des portes latérales coulissantes qui, pour être fermées, doivent coulisser vers l'avant du véhicule en exécutant à la fois un mouvement longitudinal et un mouvement latéral.Some motor vehicles have sliding side doors which, to be closed, must slide towards the front of the vehicle by performing both longitudinal and lateral movement.

En position fermée, le chant arrière de la porte coulissante vient ainsi se placer devant un bord incliné de la caisse du véhicule en comprimant un joint prévu sur cette caisse. Dans la zone arrière de la porte coulissante est généralement implantée la serrure de porte qui coopère avec une gâche prévue sur le bord incliné de la caisse du véhicule. Mais, cette zone est difficilement accessible pour un utilisateur du véhicule, même quand la porte coulissante est ouverte.In the closed position, the rear edge of the sliding door is thus placed in front of an inclined edge of the vehicle body by compressing a seal provided on this body. In the rear area of the sliding door is generally located the door lock which cooperates with a strike provided on the inclined edge of the vehicle body. But, this area is difficult to access for a user of the vehicle, even when the sliding door is open.

Par ailleurs, les serrures de porte, en particulier lorsqu'elles sont montées sur les portes arrière d'un véhicule présentent souvent un mécanisme dit "condamnation enfants" permettant d'interdire la manoeuvre de la serrure de l'intérieur du véhicule après actionnement d'une commande prévue à cet effet.Furthermore, the door locks, in particular when they are mounted on the rear doors of a vehicle, often have a so-called "child-locking mechanism" making it possible to prohibit the operation of the lock from inside the vehicle after actuation of the vehicle. 'a command provided for this purpose.

Certaines serrures connues sont ainsi équipées d'un organe de transmission rotatif que l'on peut tourner d'un certain angle, par exemple, à l'aide de la clé de contact du véhicule utilisée alors à la façon d'un tournevis.Some known locks are thus equipped with a rotational transmission member that can be rotated by an angle, for example, using the ignition key of the vehicle then used in the manner of a screwdriver.

Dans la plupart des constructions de serrures connues et utilisées dans le domaine automobile, la course angulaire de l'organe de transmission entre la position "condamnation" et la position "décondamnation" est d'une faible valeur ne dépassant pas 45°.In most lock constructions known and used in the automotive field, the angular travel of the transmission member between the "locking" position and the "unlocking" position is of a low value not exceeding 45 °.

Or, avec ce type de porte coulissante, une telle façon de commander le mécanisme de condamnation enfants ne peut être appliquée du fait que la serrure, de part sa position près du chant de la porte présente l'organe de transmission de telle manière qu'il est quasi impossible de l'accoupler avec la clé de contact.However, with this type of sliding door, such a way of controlling the child locking mechanism can not be applied because the lock, because of its position near the edge of the door has the transmission member in such a way that it is almost impossible to couple it with the ignition key.

Pour éviter ce problème, on connaît des réalisations dans lesquelles l'organe de transmission condamnation enfants est pourvu d'un actionneur électrique qui peut être commandé à partir du tableau de bord du véhicule. Cependant, cette solution est coûteuse.To avoid this problem, there are known embodiments in which the child transmission member is provided with an electric actuator that can be controlled from the dashboard of the vehicle. However, this solution is expensive.

Une difficulté supplémentaire pour réaliser un mécanisme de condamnation enfants, non électrique, dans le cade d'une porte coulissante réside dans le fait que la serrure est implantée dans une zone où l'axe de rotation de l'organe de transmission présente un certain angle par rapport au plan de la tôle à l'intérieur de la porte coulissante. Cette inclinaison est dictée notamment par des contraintes de forme de la porte, par la forme même de la serrure et par la position de celle-ci par rapport à la gâche.An additional difficulty in making a child non-electric locking mechanism in the door of a sliding door lies in the fact that the lock is located in an area where the axis of rotation of the transmission member has a certain angle. relative to the plane of the sheet inside the sliding door. This inclination is dictated in particular by constraints of shape of the door, by the shape of the lock and by the position of the latter with respect to the striker.

L'invention a pour but de fournir un mécanisme de condamnation enfants entièrement mécanique pouvant être implanté dans une zone de la porte coulissante difficilement accessible et présentant des moyens de commande manuelle parfaitement accessibles pour un utilisateur, malgré leur implantation sur la porte coulissante elle-même.The object of the invention is to provide a fully mechanical child-locking mechanism that can be implanted in an area of the sliding door that is difficult to access and that has manual control means that are perfectly accessible to a user, despite their implantation on the sliding door itself. .

L'invention a donc pour objet un mécanisme de condamnation enfants pour serrure de porte coulissante de véhicule automobile, ladite serrure comprenant :

  • un organe de transmission monté rotatif autour d'un premier axe avec une faible course angulaire et comportant une cavité centrée sur ce premier axe, et

caractérisé en ce que la cavité présente en section par rapport au premier axe une forme parallélépipédique et les moyens de commande comprennent un levier de manoeuvre monté rotatif dans une partie de tôle de ladite porte coulissante autour d'un second axe faisant un angle avec le premier axe et comportant une manette d'actionnement d'un doigt d'accouplement engagé avec jeu dans la cavité, ledit doigt d 'accouplement présentant une forme extérieure réduite dans la cavité au plus près de ses parois de manière à s'appuyer sur deux parois de cette cavité pour toutes les positions angulaires de ladite cavité et de ladite manette d'actionnement dans un sens ou dans l'autre.The invention therefore relates to a child-locking mechanism for a sliding door lock of a motor vehicle, said lock comprising:
  • a transmission member rotatably mounted about a first axis with a small angular stroke and having a cavity centered on this first axis, and
  • manual control means intended to cooperate with said cavity to move the transmission member between two positions corresponding to the two ends of the stroke and bring the lock respectively in a child-locked configuration and in a child unlocking configuration,
characterized in that the cavity has a parallelepipedal shape in section relative to the first axis and the control means comprise an operating lever rotatably mounted in a sheet portion of said sliding door about a second axis forming an angle with the first axis and comprising a lever for actuating a coupling finger engaged with clearance in the cavity, said coupling finger having a reduced external shape in the cavity closest to its walls so as to rest on two walls of this cavity for all the angular positions of said cavity and said actuating lever in one direction or the other.

The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • the Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of the contours of a lateral bodywork part of a motor vehicle, as well as of a sliding door associated with this bodywork and shown in the open position,

  • the Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a sliding door lock used with the child-locking mechanism according to the invention,

  • the Fig. 10 is a perspective view and on a larger scale of the coupling finger, and
  • the Figs. 11 to 22 show by views in planes perpendicular to each other how the child-locking mechanism according to the invention works.

Sur la Fig. 1, on a représenté schématiquement en plan les contours d'un côté de caisse CC d'un véhicule automobile pourvu de portes coulissantes dont celle de droite PC est représentée en position ouverte. Cette porte pour être fermée doit coulisser vers l'avant AV du véhicule en exécutant à la fois un mouvement longitudinal (flèche F1) et un mouvement latéral (flèche F2). En position fermée le champ arrière CA de la porte PC vient ainsi se placer devant un bord incliné BI faisant face par rapport à l'avant AV du véhicule et comprimant un joint J prévu sur la caisse. Dans la zone arrière A de la porte PC est implantée la serrure de porte 2 qui coopère avec une gâche, non représentée, sur le bord incliné BI.On the Fig. 1 the contours of a body side CC of a motor vehicle provided with sliding doors are shown schematically in plan, of which the right-hand side PC is shown in the open position. This door to be closed must slide towards the front AV of the vehicle by performing both a longitudinal movement (arrow F1) and a lateral movement (arrow F2). In the closed position, the rear field AC of the PC door is thus placed in front of an inclined edge BI facing the front of the vehicle AV and compressing a seal J provided on the body. In the rear area A of the PC door is located the door lock 2 which cooperates with a striker, not shown, on the inclined edge BI.

Ainsi que montré sur la Fig. 1, la zone A est difficilement accessible pour un utilisateur du véhicule, même quand la porte coulissante PC est ouverte.As shown on the Fig. 1 zone A is hardly accessible for a user of the vehicle, even when the sliding door PC is open.

On va maintenant se référer à la Fig. 2 qui représente l'agencement général du mécanisme condamnation enfants selon l'invention. La vue est prise en plan dans la zone A de la porte coulissante PC dont on ne voit représenté que le contour de la tôle intérieure 1. Cette tôle 1 comporte une partie 1a placée obliquement par rapport au plan général de la porte et s'étendant vers l'extérieur où elle va rejoindre la tôle extérieure de la porte, les deux tôles étant serties ensemble par un joint de sertissage non représenté.We will now refer to the Fig. 2 which represents the general arrangement of the child-locking mechanism according to the invention. The view is taken in plan in the zone A of the sliding door PC of which only the contour of the inner plate 1 is shown. This plate 1 comprises a part 1a placed obliquely with respect to the general plane of the door and extending to the outside where it will join the outer sheet of the door, the two sheets being crimped together by a not shown crimping joint.

Du côté opposé, la partie de tôle 1a est adjacente à une partie 1 b courbée à peu près à angle droit en étant prolongée par une partie plane 1 c orientée selon la ligne en pointillées sur la Fig. 2. Cette partie plane rejoint elle-même, par l'intermédiaire d'une partie courbe 1 d, une dépression 1e qui vient s'appuyer sur le joint J (Fig. 1) lorsque la porte PC est fermée. La dépression 1e est suivie d'une partie plane étendue 1f (très partiellement représentée) qui s'étend vers l'avant AV et forme la plus grande surface de la paroi interne de la porte PC.On the opposite side, the sheet portion 1a is adjacent to a portion 1b bent at approximately right angle by being extended by a flat portion 1c oriented along the dotted line on the Fig. 2 . This flat part joins itself, through a curved part 1 d, a depression 1e which comes to rest on the joint J ( Fig. 1 ) when the PC door is closed. The depression 1e is followed by an extended flat portion 1f (very partially shown) which extends forwardly AV and forms the largest surface of the inner wall of the PC door.

Une serrure 2 est montée dans la porte coulissante PC d'une façon non détaillée sur le dessin. Pour la compréhension de l'invention, il suffit de noter qu'elle est pourvue d'un pêne rotatif généralement parallèlement par rapport à la partie 1a de la tôle 1 pour pouvoir s'accrocher sur une gâche placée sur le côté de carrosserie CC (voir la Fig. 1).A lock 2 is mounted in the sliding door PC in a manner not detailed in the drawing. For the understanding of the invention, it is sufficient to note that it is provided with a rotary latch generally parallel to the part 1a sheet 1 to be able to catch on a strike placed on the CC body side (see Fig. 1 ).

Par ailleurs, la serrure 2 est pourvue d'un organe de transmission 3 destiné à la placer dans une configuration « condamnation enfants » ou de la sortir de cette configuration pour l'amener en position "décondamnation enfants", selon qu'il est actionné dans un sens ou dans l'autre.Moreover, the lock 2 is provided with a transmission member 3 intended to place it in a "child-locking" configuration or to take it out of this configuration to bring it into the "child unlocking" position, depending on whether it is actuated in one direction or the other.

L'organe de transmission 3 est monté rotatif sur la serrure 2 et en fait saillie dans la direction de la partie de tôle 1c. Son axe de rotation a-a est incliné par rapport au plan de cette partie de tôle 1c, la perpendiculaire b-b menée sur celle-ci dans le point d'intersection de l'axe a-a avec le plan de la partie de tôle 1c étant inclinée d'un angle α de faible valeur (ici inférieur à 30°) par rapport à cet axe a-a. Par ailleurs, dans la serrure représentée à titre d'exemple, la course angulaire β (Fig. 7) de l'organe de transmission 3 est d'environ 45°.The transmission member 3 is rotatably mounted on the lock 2 and protrudes in the direction of the sheet portion 1c. Its axis of rotation aa is inclined with respect to the plane of this part of sheet 1c, the perpendicular bb led thereon in the point of intersection of the axis aa with the plane of the sheet portion 1c being inclined by an angle α of low value (here less than 30 °) with respect to this axis aa. Moreover, in the lock represented by way of example, the angular travel β ( Fig. 7 ) of the transmission member 3 is about 45 °.

Selon l'invention, cet organe de transmission 3 est accouplé à un levier de manoeuvre 4 monté à rotation autour de la perpendiculaire b-b et pourvu d'une manette 5 qui s'étend à partir de cette perpendiculaire légèrement au-delà du plan de la partie de tôle 1a de manière à être facilement manoeuvré par un utilisateur.According to the invention, this transmission member 3 is coupled to an operating lever 4 rotatably mounted around the perpendicular bb and provided with a lever 5 which extends from this perpendicular slightly beyond the plane of the part of sheet metal 1a so as to be easily maneuvered by a user.

La Fig. 3 montre la serrure 2 en vue extérieure ainsi que l'organe de transmission 3 dans lequel est pratiqué une cavité 6. Cette cavité 6 présente en section par rapport à l'axe a-a- une forme parallélépipédique et, de préférence, une forme rectangulaire. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, les grands côtés de cette section sont orientés verticalement dans la configuration condamnation de la serrure. La Fig. 3 montre également que la partie de tôle 1c présente un orifice 7 en regard de l'organe de transmission 3.The Fig. 3 shows the lock 2 in external view and the transmission member 3 in which is formed a cavity 6. This cavity 6 has in section relative to the axis aa- a parallelepiped shape and, preferably, a rectangular shape. In the embodiment shown, the long sides of this section are oriented vertically in the locking configuration of the lock. The Fig. 3 also shows that the sheet portion 1c has an orifice 7 facing the transmission member 3.

Les Figs. 4 et 5 illustrent plus particulièrement un mode préféré de montage à rotation du levier de manoeuvre 4 dans la partie de tôle 1c, ainsi qu'un doigt d'accouplement 8 coopérant avec l'organe de transmission 3 de la serrure 2. Tout d'abord, sur la vue en plan de la Fig. 4, on voit que le levier de manoeuvre 4 présente un corps central cylindrique 9 centré sur l'axe b-b d'où s'étend radialement la manette 5. De son côté tourné vers la tôle 1c, ce corps cylindrique 9 présente une partie rétrécie 10 dont le périmètre est ajusté au contour de l'orifice 7 pratiqué dans la tôle 1 c.The Figs. 4 and 5 more particularly illustrate a preferred method of rotatably mounting the operating lever 4 in the sheet portion 1c, and a coupling finger 8 cooperating with the transmission member 3 of the lock 2. First, on the plan view of the Fig. 4 it can be seen that the operating lever 4 has a cylindrical central body 9 centered on the axis bb from which the lever 5 extends radially. On its side facing the sheet 1c, this cylindrical body 9 has a narrowed portion 10 whose perimeter is adjusted to the contour of the orifice 7 made in the sheet 1 c.

Sur la Fig. 5 qui montre l'organe de transmission 3 vu à partir de la serrure 2, on voit que ce dernier comporte des moyens d'encliquetage formés de quatre languettes 11 déformables élastiquement et s'étendant radialement à angle droit par rapport à l'axe b-b de l'organe de transmission 3. Ces quatre languettes retiennent l'organe de transmission 3 par rapport à la tôle 1c en s'encliquetant sur le bord de l'orifice 7, tout en en permettant la rotation autour de l'axe b-b. Elles ont toutes une extrémité biseautée en 12 afin de faciliter l'encliquetage sur la tôle.On the Fig. 5 which shows the transmission member 3 seen from the lock 2, we see that the latter comprises latching means formed of four tongues 11 resiliently deformable and extending radially at right angles to the axis bb of the transmission member 3. These four tabs retain the transmission member 3 relative to the sheet 1c by snapping on the edge of the orifice 7, while allowing rotation around the axis bb. They all have a bevelled end 12 to facilitate snapping on the sheet.

Pour permettre une description du profil stéréométrique selon l'invention du doigt d'accouplement 8, on définit pour l'ensemble du mécanisme un système de repères à trois plans orthogonaux X, Y et Z, étant entendu que le plan X est le plan horizontal contenant les axes a-a et b-b, que le plan Y est le plan vertical contenant l'axe a-a et que le plan Zn est un plan quelconque perpendiculaire aux plans X et Y, et dont l'axe a-a est donc un perpendiculaire.In order to allow a description of the stereometric profile according to the invention of the coupling finger 8, for the whole of the mechanism, a system of marks with three orthogonal planes X, Y and Z is defined, it being understood that the plane X is the horizontal plane. containing the axes aa and bb, that the plane Y is the vertical plane containing the axis aa and that the plane Zn is any plane perpendicular to the planes X and Y, and whose axis aa is therefore a perpendicular.

D'une manière générale, le doigt d'accouplement 8 présente une forme extérieure induite dans la cavité 6 de l'organe de transmission 3 au plus près de ses parois de manière à s'appuyer sur deux parois de cette cavité 6 pour toutes les positions angulaires de ladite cavité et de ladite manette d'actionnement dans un sens ou dans l'autre.In general, the coupling finger 8 has an external shape induced in the cavity 6 of the transmission member 3 closer to its walls so as to bear on two walls of this cavity 6 for all angular positions of said cavity and said actuating lever in one direction or the other.

Pour construire ce profil stéréométrique, on peut s'imaginer partir d'une forme parallélépipédique FP (Fig. 6) dont le grand axe coïncide avec l'intersection des plans X et Y (axe a-a) et qui fait saillie dans le sens axial, de la partie rétrécie 10 du corps cylindrique 9 du levier de manoeuvre 4. Cette forme parallélépipédique est donc inclinée de l'angle α par rapport à la face d'extrémité de cette partie rétrécie 10 et naturellement également par rapport à la partie de tôle 1c. On s'imagine par ailleurs que la forme parallélépipédique est ajustée avec un léger jeu dans la cavité 6 de l'organe de transmission 3. La situation virtuelle ainsi supposée est représentée sur la Fig. 6 qui est tracée dans un plan Zn quelconque coupé par l'axe a-a.To build this stereometric profile, one can imagine from a parallelepipedic form FP ( Fig. 6 ) whose major axis coincides with the intersection of the X and Y planes (axis aa) and which protrudes in the axial direction, from the narrowed portion 10 of the cylindrical body 9 of the operating lever 4. This parallelepiped shape is therefore inclined by the angle α with respect to the end face of this narrowed portion 10 and of course also with respect to the sheet portion 1c. It is also imagined that the parallelepiped shape is adjusted with a slight clearance in the cavity 6 of the transmission member 3. The virtual situation thus assumed is represented on the Fig. 6 which is drawn in any Zn plane cut by the axis aa.

Si maintenant, on s'imagine que la forme FP est tournée, ici vers la droite (Fig. 7), de l'angle β égal à la course angulaire de l'organe de transmission 3, il faudra pour permettre cette rotation, ôter de la forme FP le volume V' identifié par les hachures sur la Fig. 7, ce qui donne un profil FP' pour le doigt d'accouplement 8.If now, we imagine that the FP shape is turned, here to the right ( Fig. 7 ), the angle β equal to the angular travel of the transmission member 3, it will be necessary to allow this rotation, remove from the FP form the volume V 'identified by the hatching on the Fig. 7 giving an FP 'profile for the coupling finger 8.

De même, en examinant la forme FP selon le plan Y comme représenté sur la Fig. 9 avant la rotation sur l'angle β, il convient de même d'en ôter le volume V" également identifié par des hachures, ce que lui donne en définitive une forme FP". On peut ainsi construire virtuellement le profil du doigt d'accouplement 8.Similarly, by examining the FP form on the Y plane as shown on the Fig. 9 before the rotation on the angle β, it is also necessary to remove the volume V "also identified by hatching, which gives it ultimately a form FP". It is thus possible to virtually build the profile of the coupling finger 8.

Ce profil représenté à plus grande échelle à la Fig. 10 présente une section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire qui se rétrécit vers l'extrémité libre du doigt d'accouplement 8 à partir de son attachement au corps 9 du levier de manoeuvre 4. Ainsi, l'aire de la section rectangulaire du doigt d'accouplement 8 diminue vers son extrémité libre et se termine par une pointe conique.This profile represented on a larger scale at the Fig. 10 has a substantially rectangular cross section which narrows towards the free end of the coupling pin 8 from its attachment to the body 9 of the operating lever 4. Thus, the area of the rectangular section of the coupling pin 8 decreases towards its free end and ends with a conical tip.

En pratique, et selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le levier de manoeuvre 4 sera réalisé en matière plastique ayant de préférence un faible coefficient de frottement, telle que le POM (polyoxyméthylène). Dans ce cas, le levier pourra facilement être réalisé par moulage dans un moule ayant en creux la combinaison des formes FP' et FP".In practice, and according to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the operating lever 4 will be made of plastic preferably having a low coefficient of friction, such as POM (polyoxymethylene). In this case, the lever can easily be made by molding in a mold having in hollow the combination of shapes FP 'and FP ".

Les Figs. 11 à 22 illustrent schématiquement le fonctionnement du mécanisme de condamnation enfants selon l'invention, étant supposé que la serrure 2 est dans ce cas d'un type pour lequel il convient de tourner l'organe de transmission 3 d'un huitième de tour vers la gauche pour passer de la condamnation (flèche F3 ; Figs. 17 à 19) à la décondamnation (flèche F4 ; Figs. 20 à 22) et d'un huitième de tour à droite pour obtenir le résultat inverse, lorsqu'on observe cet organe à partir de la gauche comme vu sur la Fig. 3. Par ailleurs, les Figs. 11, 14, 17 et 20 représentent la position de départ de la manoeuvre, les Figs. 12, 15, 18 et 21 représentent la position pour une rotation du levier de manoeuvre 4 d'un angle de 22,5° et les Figs. 13, 16, 19 et 22 la position pour une rotation de ce levier de 45° vers la position finale.The Figs. 11 to 22 schematically illustrate the operation of the child locking mechanism according to the invention, being assumed that the lock 2 is in this case of a type for which it is necessary to turn the transmission member 3 an eighth of a turn to the left to to pass the sentence (arrow F3; Figs. 17 to 19 ) to the unlocking (arrow F4; Figs. 20 to 22 ) and an eighth of a turn to the right to get the opposite result, when we observe this organ from the left as seen on the Fig. 3 . Moreover, Figs. 11, 14 , 17 and 20 represent the starting position of the maneuver, the Figs. 12, 15 , 18 and 21 represent the position for a rotation of the operating lever 4 by an angle of 22.5 ° and the Figs. 13, 16 , 19 and 22 the position for a rotation of this lever 45 ° to the end position.

Les Figs. 11 à 13 montrent des vues en coupe selon le plan vertical. On voit que durant la manoeuvre, l'extrémité du doigt 8 effectue à l'aller un mouvement de gauche à droite (condamnation) et au retour un mouvement de droite à gauche (décondamnation).The Figs. 11 to 13 show sectional views along the vertical plane. It can be seen that during the maneuver, the end of the finger 8 makes a left-right movement (condemnation) and a right-to-left movement (unlocking).

Les Figs. 14 à 16 montrent des vues selon le plan horizontal Y. On voit que, durant la manoeuvre, l'extrémité du doigt 8 effectue à l'aller un mouvement de bas en haut (condamnation)à et au retour un mouvement de haut en bas (décondamnation).The Figs. 14 to 16 show views along the horizontal plane Y. It can be seen that, during the maneuver, the end of the finger 8 makes a downward movement upward (condemnation) to and from a downward movement (unlocking). .

Les Figs. 17 à 22 illustrent également la situation des arêtes du doigt 8 qui exercent la pression de manoeuvre sur l'organe de transmission 3 pour le faire basculer vers les positions finales respectives. Plus précisément, le doigt d'accouplement 8 est conformé de manière à venir s'appuyer sur deux parois latérales planes de la cavité 6 lorsqu'il est actionné dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Ainsi lorsqu'un utilisateur exerce sur le levier de manoeuvre 4 un couple de rotation dans le sens de la flèche F3 (Figs. 17 à 19) ou dans le sens de la flèche F4 (Figs. 20 à 22), il provoque la rotation respectivement dans un sens ou dans l'autre de l'organe de transmission et par voie de conséquence une condamnation ou une décondamnation de la serrure 2.The Figs. 17 to 22 also illustrate the situation of the edges of the finger 8 which exert the operating pressure on the transmission member 3 to tilt to the respective end positions. More specifically, the coupling finger 8 is shaped so as to rest on two flat side walls of the cavity 6 when actuated in one direction or the other. Thus when a user exerts on the operating lever 4 a torque in the direction of the arrow F3 ( Figs. 17 to 19 ) or in the direction of the arrow F4 ( Figs. 20 to 22 ), it causes the rotation respectively in one direction or the other of the transmission member and consequently a locking or unlocking of the lock 2.

On constate donc que malgré le fait que les axes de l'organe de transmission 3 d'une part et du levier de manoeuvre d'autre part ne sont pas alignés, la commutation entre condamnation et décondamnation et vice-versa est possible sans faire appel à un mécanisme complexe à cardan. Par ailleurs, le levier de manoeuvre peut facilement être réalisé à un faible coût puisqu'il peut être réalisé en matière plastique moulée.It is therefore found that despite the fact that the axes of the transmission member 3 on the one hand and the operating lever on the other hand are not aligned, switching between conviction and unlocking and vice versa is possible without appeal to a complex gimbal mechanism. Furthermore, the operating lever can easily be achieved at a low cost since it can be made of molded plastic material.

De plus, en raison de la présence de la manette d'actionnement, le levier de manoeuvre peut être facilement accessible pour un utilisateur en s'étendant par son extrémité libre légèrement au-delà de l'emprise du corps de la porte coulissante.In addition, because of the presence of the actuating lever, the operating lever can be easily accessible for a user by extending at its free end slightly beyond the grip of the body of the sliding door.
