The locking device itself is shown in Fig. 3 to 10 . It comprises different elements that are integrated into the different parts of an embrasure equipment ( Fig. 1 ) can be either a glazed window, a showcase, a doorway, etc. The embrasure equipment of the Fig. 1 comprises an embrasure frame 1, a glazing panel 2 pivoting on a vertical axis 3 and fixed glazed elements 4 placed in the frame of embrasure 1 on either side of the pivoting panel 2. The frame of embrasure 1 and two vertical uprights 5 separating the elements 4 and the panel 2, and the frame 6 of the glazing panel 2 are formed of standard profiles, aluminum or other metal, cut to the desired length and assembled by riveting or other means. The dimensions and profile shapes of the different standard profiles used will be adapted in each case to the desired function by ensuring their rigidity of the panel and making the frame of the frame indeformable. A handle 7 glued to the inner plate of the glazing allows to maneuver the panel 2. The pivoting mounting of the panel 2 is not part of the locking device and will therefore not be described.

To the Fig. 2 , we see the conformation of the fixed lower element 8 of the frame 1. It is an assembly of three segments of identical profiles 9 which are fixed side by side by intermediate elements. One of the profiles 9, located on the right side of the assembly 8, is an inner profile of the recess. The next is the medial profile and the third is the external profile. Each profile comprises two parallel walls or wings 10 defining an upwardly open groove and the assembly 8 is such that there remains a groove of determined width between the adjacent walls 10 of each pair of profiles 9.

In the assembly 8, the intermediate groove between the walls 10 of the outer and median profiles 9 is closed by an insulating lining which does not participate in the device described, while the other intermediate groove of the assembly 8, between the profiles 9 median and interior, serves as housing and guiding a movable locking blade 11 visible to the Fig. 3 in two different positions, respectively active or high and inactive or low. The blade 11 ensures, in the active position, the sealing of the seal between the panel 2 and the frame 1, while in the inactive position, it allows to open the panel. We see on the Fig. 3 at the upper part, the blade 11 in the active position and, at the bottom, the same blade in the inactive position. Note that in the high position of the blade 11, its upper edge is engaged in a groove 12 of a profile segment 13 which forms the lower edge of the frame 6 of the panel 2. The profile of the element 13 is different from that of the elements 9 as seen in the Fig. 3 . In the closed state, the panel 2 is just above the central section segment 9 of the assembly 8, the inner edge of the profile 13 projecting above the groove between the adjacent wings of the median and internal elements 9 . A wafer 14 engaged and fixed in a groove with recessed lower flanges 15 of the profile segment 13 is then placed opposite a stud 16 containing a spring ball retaining system of current construction. This stud will be fixed at the appropriate location between the flanges 10 of the profile member 9 median in the assembly 8. The ball biased by springs 17 penetrating into a housing formed in the wafer 14 ensures the closed position of the panel 2. For sealing of the closure, the groove 12 will be provided with a lining of flexible material (not shown) against which a longitudinal bevel 18 of the blade 11 will come to bear at the time of implementation of the locking device that will be described now .

The principle of the device consists in that it comprises means which transform a horizontal displacement of a control rod, by angle returns, into a series of vertical displacements of guided members acting on the movable blade 11.

To perform the locking operation, the device described comprises a series of assemblies and connection means that can be prefabricated and partially assembled at the factory, but must be adjusted exactly. A rocker control block 19 and a series of vertical displacement blocks 20 are mounted on the inner section 9, the rocker block 19 being in the vicinity of one end of the section and the blocks 20 distributed along its length.

The rocker block 19 comprises two push buttons each equipped with an easy access circular pad 21 and 22. It controls, as will be seen below, a composite rack rod 23 which extends all along the section 9 The starting position being that represented in the lower part of the Fig. 3 when the panel is in the closed position, a downward pressure on the wafer 22 moves the rack pin 23 to the left at the Fig. 3 . The movable blade 11 is then brought into the upper position and enters the groove 12, while the rocking system raises the pellet 21. To return to the starting position, it suffices to press on the pellet 21, which causes the blade 11.

The Fig. 4 to 10 show the details of prefabricated assemblies that provide these functions with the necessary precision and safety.

The rack-and-pinion control rod 23 is the essential organ of the control mechanism. It consists of several bar segments 23a cut with toothed rack in their upper face and having a profile adapted to the central zone of the profile 9, and cylindrical rod segments 23b engaged coaxially and end to end in the bar segments 23a. As we see in Fig. 4, 5 and 6 , the rack pin 23 is housed in the central groove of the inner profile 9 of the assembly 8.

Another important element of the mechanism is the mounting rod 24 visible to the Fig. 3 , 5 , 6 and 9 , placed parallel to the rack rod 23 in the same profile 9, on the flat flange adjacent to the outer side of this profile 9. It is fixed by screws 24a and has grooves 25 ( Fig. 10 ) of shallow depth whose function will be explained later.

The rocker block 19 is shown in elevation at Fig. 7A to 7C . A pad 27 of rectangular shape is screwed by screws 26 in the main groove of the profile 9, in the vicinity of one of its ends. It supports two axes 28 machined so as to form bearing ends at their ends and between them two toothed gears. One of these pinions meshes with a toothed rack gear machined in a vertical trunnion segment 29 guided in a bore of the stud 27. The latter thus carries two parallel pinion shafts 28 each meshing on the one hand with the rack bar 23a and on the other hand in one of the vertical axis pins 29. One of them carries the pellet 21 and the other the pellet 22. The pins 29 are guided in the stud 27, one on one side and the other on the other side with respect to the parallel axes 28. It is understood that the assembly described is mounted so that one of the pellets 21, 22 is in the high position when the other is in the lower position, so that pressing the upper pad, the rack bar is moved in one direction or the other to bring the other pellet up.

As mentioned above, displacement blocks 20 are distributed over the length of the fixed frame member 8 to actuate the movable blade 11. For example, the number of these blocks will be three or four. The Fig. 4 to 6 , 8 , 9 and 10 show the conformation of these blocks. Each of them has a stud 30 ( Fig. 6 ) of rectangular shape, engaged in a predetermined position in the central groove of the inner profile 9 of the frame member 8. A rectangular groove 31 is milled in the lower face of the stud 30 so that the latter cap a bar segment 23a of the rack rod 23. Each stud 30 is equipped with a pinion shaft 32 supported transversely by bearings 33a and 33b, in a bore 30a which passes through the stud 30 from side to side, except bottom wall.

Considering in detail the Fig. 6 it is seen that the pinion shaft 32 carries a first bearing 33a at its end on the inside of the assembly 8 of the three sections 9, then a pinion 32a fixed on the shaft by a pin and meshing in the bar segment Rack 23a, then a bare element equipped with a guide nut 37 passing through the stud above the mounting rod 24, the groove 25 indicated above embraces the stud. Then the pinion shaft extends beyond the location of the outer flange 10 of the profile 9, which will be notched at this point for a length at least equal to the length of the stud 30. On the outer end of the pinion shaft 32, which protrudes into the groove between the flanges 10 of the two adjacent sections 9, is mounted a second pinion 32b wedged on the shaft 32 by a pin. A second bearing 33b, housed in the stud 30 holds the pinion 32b cantilever so as to actuate the blade 11. It has already been mentioned that the movable blade 11 is engaged longitudinally in the space between the adjacent wings 10, integral with the two median and inner profiles 9 of the assembly 8. Here, this space is open on the inner side, since the wing 10 is indented at this point ( Fig. 3 ). The stud 30 extends in width through this groove. Moreover, as will be seen better at Fig. 10 , the blade 11 itself has a cutout which engages the stud 30. Thus, the pinion 32b pinned at the end of the shaft 32 is located in a U-shaped cutout in plan, in the stud 30 and in a contoured cutout 34 of the 11. The latter is in straight flanks ( Fig. 8 ), open down. Its profile is such that it still has a protruding nipple 35 provided on its longitudinal side with a rack tooth 35a vertical. At the time of its formation, this nipple is also thinned for example by a stroke of the stamp. It is understood that once mounting done, the toothing of the stud 35 meshes with the pinion 32b. When the rack rod 23 is moved longitudinally in the central groove of the inner section 9, by actuation of one or the other of the pads 21, 22, the pinion shafts 32 of all the movement blocks 20 are rotated. in the same direction, so that all rack nipples 35 move the blade 11 since they are part of it, this up or down in the direction of movement of the rack-and-pinion control rod 23. To increase the the rigidity of the transmission of force, a stop 38 is still screwed against the end flank of each stud 30, so as to engage between the pin 35 and the end of the cutout 34, to avoid any deformation of the pins 35 with toothed rack 35a.

Finally, the mounting rod 24, visible to Fig. 3 to 6 and 8 to 10 , allows exact positioning of the different sets of the locking device at the time of installation. It is a section of rectangular section whose dimensions allow it to be placed on the flat bottom of the central groove of the profile 9, at the foot of the outer wing 10 which will be indented at the right of the studs 30. It is fixed by 24a and has grooves 25 of a predetermined length and depth, in which the studs 30 are engaged themselves having corresponding profiles. We still see Fig. 3 , 6 , 9 and 10 that the pads 30 have, in their upper face and the longitudinal zone which covers the mounting rod 24, two opposite notches 30c for fixing them by means of screws 24a a little longer than those which themselves fix the rod 24 to This allows all the blocks 20 to be mounted at the same time by adjusting the position of the gears with respect to the vertical rack segments 35a. Finally, this operation is completed by means of an auxiliary blade (not shown) serving as a mounting template and which will be fixed beforehand, by means of screw holes 36, the two blocks. 20 on both sides of the tilting mechanism (the slat 24 stops against the block 19 of the rocker mechanism as a mounting stop, so that the block 20 is not affected by the latch of mounting 24 beyond the mechanism 19 rocker).

The Fig. 10 is a summary of the explanations given previously. It shows how the elements described are associated with respect to the movement blocks 20, the rack control rod 23 and the mounting rod 24. It is therefore not necessary to list their components again. Only the rocker control system 19 is omitted here.

The angled locking system using a control rod with rack segments which actuate a set of geared-on displacement blocks in engagement with side rack segments integral with a movable locking blade, can also be placed on a vertical frame member of an embrasure, for example to control and lock a pivoting panel on a horizontal axis.

The possible applications of this locking system using prefabricated elements mounted on profiles adapted to the intended application are very numerous, not only in the building but also in the field of mobile constructions.

With reference to the additional figures 11 to 15, an embodiment in which the pivoting panel is still mounted on a vertical axis is described, but the control of the locking means is mounted on a vertical side of the door frame. and two movable locking blades are provided, one on each of the upper and lower horizontal sides of the door frame. Different embodiments apply the principle of the invention.

To the Fig. 11A , the control mechanism comprises instead of the block 19 a lever handle system 40 mounted on the inner profile 9 of one of the frame members forming the sides of the door frame. A support arm 41 is fixed to the inner flange of the profile 9. On this arm pivots, by means of a bearing 42, a lever arm 43 acting as a control handle. A rod 44 guided with play in a housing of the handle 43 passes through the parallel flanges 10 of the profile 9. On this rod is engaged a rack segment 45. A mounting stud in two parts 46a and 46b screwed one to the other. other is fixed by two screws in the bottom of the groove limited by the flanges 10 of the profile 9. This block maintains and guides, in perpendicular grooves and in a bore provided with two bearings, on the one hand the rack segment 45, on the other hand a rack segment 23a of the control rod 23 and finally a pinion 47 supported by said bearings of the block 46. This pinion 47 meshes simultaneously in the two rack segments 45 and 23a. We see that the block 46 protrudes beyond the outer wing of the profile 9 as well as in the bottom of the groove to go to the wall of the profile which is behind and in which it is screwed. This block also encroaches on the connecting elements which connect the inner and inner profiles 9 of the assembly 8 of the frame profiles. In a simple variant, the control mechanism could be limited to what has just been described. It would then be possible to lock and unlock the panel from inside the recess by actuating the handle 43 in one direction or the other in order to move the control rod 23 in one direction or the other.

However, it may be advantageous to provide a lock control indifferently from outside and from inside the doorway. In this case, the control mechanism will be completed by a simple extension of the rod 44 through the wings 10 of the second and third profiles 9 of the assembly 8 and the mounting of an outer handle 48 pivoting on a support arm 49 similar to the arm 41. This is shown by Fig. 11B . The Fig. 11C and 11D show details of execution of the block 46a-46b with the pinion 47 supported by two bearings and the control rack 45 sectional view. To the Fig. 11D , the position of the control rod 23 with the rack segment 23a, housed in the bottom groove of the inner profile 9 in the vertical upright of the door frame is clearly visible. It will be understood that this control rod will have to be connected to upper and lower angle references to actuate the movable blades 11.

But regardless of the structure of the control mechanism, it may be advantageous to provide a safe locking possibility for locking and unlocking the pivot panel. The Fig. 12A and 12B show the provision of a key lock on a side element 8 of the door frame. The Fig. 12A causes the cross section of the inner profile 9 to appear in watermark. We see that, in the lower part of the profile, under the main groove containing the composite control rod 23 is mounted a transverse elongated structure 50 which constitutes a safety lock cylinder with a rotating movable portion 51 on which is locked a pinion 52 The latter meshes with rack teeth 54 with teeth directed towards the bottom of the profile 9 integral with a pin 54a which acts against the edge of a lever 54b itself equipped with a pin 54c serving locking pin and engaging in the notch 54d of the slider 23c, which is integral with the vertical control rod 23. This system of components is housed in a housing 55. II ensures the maintenance and guidance of the moving elements linear aforementioned (rack 54, 54b lever lever and control slider 23c). Spacers 53 complete the lock member 50 so that it is long enough to pass through the vertical frame profile 8. The lock can be arranged so that the key 50a is accessible from outside the doorway or from inside. The provision to be provided in each case is obvious to the skilled person. For example, at the Fig. 15 , the key 50a is outside and a wheel 50b installed inside.

The Fig. 13A to 13F , 14 and 15 finally show how the movements of the movable blades 11 and 11 'arranged horizontally in the high and low sides of the door frame are controlled from the mechanisms described above.

The Fig. 13A shows in section the profile 9 forming part of the lower horizontal element of the door frame. We see the movable blade 11 placed in the groove between this profile and the neighboring section. She is also seen at Fig. 13B , in elevation, in a layout that corresponds exactly to that of the Fig. 3 where blocks 20 equipped with pinions 32 manipulate this blade according to the displacements of the composite control rod 23. Fig. 13C shows this layout in plan. To connect this mechanism to a control handle housed in the vertical upright of the frame, the Fig. 13D and 13E reveal the provision of a bevel gear between the rod 23 and a vertical rod 23 'similar to that of the Fig. 11 .

The end of the control rod 23 'carries a cylindrical toothed segment 56 which has a short toothed rack element split into two parallel parts ( Fig. 13E ), whose teeth are directed towards the inside of the frame and mesh with the ends of the toothing of a pinion 57 supported by two bearings 58 mounted in a stud 59 ( Fig. 13D and 13F ). The stud 59 is fixed by screws at the end of the base profile 9 as well as at the lower end of the corresponding profile 9 'forming part of the vertical upright of the door frame. The rod 23 directly acting on the blade 11 acts as a secondary control rod. A displacement of this control rod 23 to the right at the Fig. 13D is caused by the rack segment 23c by a rotation of the pinion 57 in the direction of the arrow 60, which results from an upward movement of a vertical control rod assembly 23 housed in the profile 9 'by the intermediate of the cylindrical toothed segment 56. The connection between the sections 9 and 9 'is made by riveting. However, a reinforcing bracket 61 fixed by screws ensures the rigidity of the assembly.

The different parts of the general figure 14, on a smaller scale, as well as the figure 15 show how an opening or closing command by means of the handle 43 is transmitted via the rod 23 to both the blade 11 'housed in the upper frame member and the blade 11 , lodged in the lower frame member, and provide a better understanding of the operation of the locking system. Regarding the control rod 23 ', it can be seen that the horizontal shift induced by the lever mechanism is assumed by the element 23g above and below said lever opening mechanism.
