Description

Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des poignées de manoeuvre des ouvrants et en particulier des ouvrants de véhicules.The technical field of the invention is that of the operating handles of the opening and in particular the opening of vehicles.

Les poignées de manoeuvre des ouvrants comportent généralement un organe de préhension (telle une tige) qui est solidaire d'un moyen d'entraînement destiné à s'engager sur un axe de commande d'une serrure de l'ouvrant.The operating handles of the opening generally comprise a gripping member (such as a rod) which is integral with a drive means for engaging on a control axis of a lock of the opening.

Le moyen d'entraînement est la plupart du temps un moyen à concordance de forme, par exemple un ou deux méplats coopérants avec un profil carré de l'axe de commande.The drive means is most of the time a form-fitting means, for example one or two flats cooperating with a square profile of the control shaft.

L'organe de préhension est le plus souvent proche de la paroi de l'ouvrant. L'espace séparant cet organe de la paroi étant suffisant pour permettre l'engagement d'une main d'un opérateur.The gripping member is most often close to the wall of the opening. The space separating this body from the wall is sufficient to allow the engagement of a hand of an operator.

Ces poignées de manoeuvre sont bien connues de l'Homme du Métier.These handles of maneuver are well known to the skilled person.

Ainsi, le brevet GB-745477 décrit un organe de préhension en métal obtenu par moulage matricé, pliable, d'une porte de véhicule, présentant des bords libres aptes à être comprimés pour se rapprocher et constituer un levier tubulaire.Thus, the patent GB-745 477 discloses a metal gripping member obtained by folded die-casting, of a vehicle door, having free edges adapted to be compressed to come together and constitute a tubular lever.

Les ouvrants, et en particulier les ouvrants de véhicules militaires, peuvent se trouver fortement déformés par l'explosion d'un engin explosif improvisé à proximité, engins désignés aujourd'hui sous l'acronyme anglo saxon IED (comme "Improvised Explosive Devices" c'est à dire Engins explosifs improvisés). Les IED peuvent mettre en oeuvre des masses d'explosifs ou de matériaux énergétiques (essence, gaz) importantes et constituent donc une des menaces les plus sérieuses du champ de bataille actuel.The opening, and in particular the opening of military vehicles, can be greatly deformed by the explosion of an improvised explosive device nearby, now called by the Anglo-Saxon IED (as "Improvised Explosive Devices" c Explosive Explosive Devices). IEDs can implement masses of explosives or energetic materials (gasoline, gas) important and therefore constitute one of the most serious threats of the current battlefield.

Sous l'effet de la détonation d'un tel engin, la tôle de l'ouvrant va fléchir vers l'intérieur de la cabine et elle va interférer avec l'organe de préhension de la poignée qui est disposé à l'extérieur.Under the effect of the detonation of such a machine, the sheet of the opening will flex towards the inside of the cabin and it will interfere with the gripping member of the handle which is disposed outside.

Il en résulte un blocage de cette poignée et de l'axe de commande de la serrure pouvant provoquer sa rupture. L'ouvrant ne peut plus être alors manoeuvré, ni de l'intérieur, ni de l'extérieur.This results in a blockage of this handle and the control shaft of the lock can cause its rupture. The opening can no longer be manipulated, either from inside or outside.

On connaît par le brevet US2517075 une poignée de porte de véhicule qui peut être aisément démontée pour empêcher une ouverture de la porte par des enfants ou bien l'accès au véhicule par une personne non autorisée. Cette poignée comporte une zone rétrécie permettant son introduction et son retrait du mécanisme solidaire de l'ouvrant. Cependant une telle partie rétrécie constitue une amorce de rupture qui provoque la casse de la poignée en cas de choc, interdisant toute manoeuvre ultérieure.We know by the patent US2517075 a vehicle door handle that can be easily disassembled to prevent children from opening the door or unauthorized access to the vehicle. This handle has a narrowed area for its introduction and removal of the integral mechanism of the opening. However, such a narrowed portion is a primer breaking which causes the breakage of the handle in case of impact, prohibiting any subsequent maneuver.

L'invention a pour objet de proposer une poignée de manoeuvre d'un ouvrant permettant de pallier un tel inconvénient.The object of the invention is to provide an operating handle for an opening that makes it possible to overcome such a disadvantage.

Ainsi, l'invention a pour objet une poignée de manoeuvre d'un ouvrant en particulier d'un ouvrant de véhicule, poignée comportant un organe de préhension solidaire d'un moyen d'entraînement destiné à s'engager sur un axe de commande d'une serrure de l'ouvrant, poignée comportant des moyens autorisant un pivotement d'au moins une partie de l'organe de préhension sans rupture de ce dernier et par rapport à un axe de pivotement perpendiculaire à l'axe de commande en réponse à un effort calibré exercé sur l'organe de préhension avec une composante parallèle à l'axe de commande, l'organe de préhension restant manoeuvrable après ce pivotement, caractérisée en ce que le moyen d'entraînement comprend deux parties : une douille qui se fixe sur l'axe de commande et qui comporte un profil interne coopérant avec l'axe de commande pour rendre celui ci solidaire en rotation de la douille, et un manchon solidaire de l'organe de préhension et articulé par rapport à la douille au niveau de l'axe de pivotement, les moyens autorisant le pivotement étant constitués par cette articulation associée à des moyens n'autorisant un pivotement au niveau de l'articulation que pour l'effort calibré exercé sur l'organe de préhension.Thus, the subject of the invention is an operating handle of an opening leaf, in particular of a vehicle opening, a handle comprising a gripping member integral with a drive means intended to engage on a control pin of a lock of the opening, handle comprising means allowing a pivoting of at least a portion of the gripping member without breaking the latter and with respect to a pivot axis perpendicular to the control axis in response to a calibrated force exerted on the gripping member with a component parallel to the control axis, the gripping member remaining operable after this pivoting, characterized in that the drive means comprises two parts: a sleeve which is fixed on the control shaft and which has an internal profile cooperating with the control shaft to make it integral in rotation with the sleeve, and a sleeve integral with the gripping member and articulated with respect to the sleeve e at the pivot axis, the means authorizing pivoting being constituted by this articulation associated with means allowing a pivoting at the joint only for the calibrated force exerted on the gripping member.

Le manchon sera avantageusement rendu solidaire de la douille à l'aide d'un moyen de liaison cisaillable.The sleeve will advantageously be secured to the sleeve by means of a shearable connection means.

Le moyen de liaison cisaillable pourra être constitué par une vis ou une goupille cylindrique parallèle à l'axe de pivotement.The shearable connection means may be constituted by a screw or a cylindrical pin parallel to the pivot axis.

Selon des variantes, le moyen de liaison cisaillable pourra être constitué par au moins un point de soudure ou au moins un point de colle.According to variants, the shearable connection means may be constituted by at least one welding point or at least one point of glue.

Selon une autre variante, le manchon pourra être rendu solidaire de la douille par un montage serré de l'axe de pivotement.According to another variant, the sleeve may be secured to the sleeve by a tight fitting of the pivot axis.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode particulier de réalisation, description faite en référence aux dessins annexés et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face d'un mode de réalisation de la poignée montée sur un axe de commande d'une serrure,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe de cette poignée, coupe réalisée suivant le plan dont la trace AA est visible à la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective éclatée de cette poignée et de l'axe de commande,
  • la figure 4 est un schéma montrant le fonctionnement de la poignée,
  • les figures 5a et 5b montrent un autre mode de réalisation d'une poignée selon l'invention, la figure 5a montrant la poignée avant fonctionnement et la figure 5b la poignée après impact de la porte.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a particular embodiment, a description given with reference to the appended drawings and in which:
  • the figure 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the handle mounted on a control shaft of a lock,
  • the figure 2 is a sectional view of this handle, cut according to the plane whose AA trace is visible at the figure 1 ,
  • the figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of this handle and the control shaft,
  • the figure 4 is a diagram showing the operation of the handle,
  • the Figures 5a and 5b show another embodiment of a handle according to the invention, the figure 5a showing the handle before operation and the figure 5b the handle after impact of the door.

En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, une poignée 1 selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention est destinée à entraîner en rotation un axe de commande 2 d'une serrure d'un ouvrant (non représenté), par exemple une porte d'un véhicule blindé.Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , a handle 1 according to one embodiment of the invention is intended to drive in rotation a control shaft 2 of a lock of an opening (not shown), for example a door of a shielded vehicle.

Cette poignée 1 comporte un organe de préhension 3 qui est solidaire d'un moyen d'entraînement 4, engagé sur l'axe de commande 2.This handle 1 comprises a gripping member 3 which is integral with a drive means 4, engaged on the control shaft 2.

Le moyen d'entraînement 4 comprend deux parties : une douille 4a qui est fixée sur l'axe de commande 2 à l'aide d'un écrou 5, et un manchon 4b solidaire de l'organe de préhension 3 et qui entoure la douille 4a.The driving means 4 comprises two parts: a sleeve 4a which is fixed on the control shaft 2 using a nut 5, and a sleeve 4b integral with the gripping member 3 and surrounding the sleeve 4a.

L'organe de préhension 3 (qui est ici un tube métallique) est soudé au manchon 4b.The gripping member 3 (which is here a metal tube) is welded to the sleeve 4b.

La douille 4a comporte un profil interne 6 qui coopère avec l'axe de commande 2 pour rendre celui-ci solidaire en rotation de la douille 4a.The sleeve 4a has an internal profile 6 which cooperates with the control pin 2 to make it integral in rotation with the sleeve 4a.

Ce profil interne 6 est plus particulièrement visible sur la figure 3. Il est constitué par un trou oblong formé de deux demi-cylindres reliés par deux zones planes. Ce trou oblong 6 coopère avec deux méplats 7 portés par l'axe de commande 2.This internal profile 6 is more particularly visible on the figure 3 . It consists of an oblong hole formed by two half-cylinders connected by two plane zones. This oblong hole 6 cooperates with two flats 7 carried by the control spindle 2.

Le manchon 4b est articulé par rapport à la douille 4a au niveau d'un axe 8, dit axe de pivotement (ou articulation).The sleeve 4b is hinged relative to the sleeve 4a at an axis 8, said pivot axis (or articulation).

Concrètement cet axe 8 est constitué par un boulon qui traverse le manchon 4b et la douille 4a. Pour recevoir le boulon 8, la douille 4a comporte donc un alésage réalisé dans une aile latérale 9 partiellement cylindrique de la douille 4a. Le manchon 4b comporte une aile complémentaire 10 portant deux perçages 11 et 12 (voir figure 3).Concretely this axis 8 is constituted by a bolt which passes through the sleeve 4b and the sleeve 4a. To receive the bolt 8, the sleeve 4a therefore comprises a bore formed in a partially cylindrical side wing 9 of the sleeve 4a. The sleeve 4b has a complementary wing 10 carrying two holes 11 and 12 (see FIG. figure 3 ).

L'axe de pivotement 8 est perpendiculaire à l'axe de commande 2 (et disposé à distance de ce dernier).The pivot axis 8 is perpendicular to the control axis 2 (and disposed at a distance from the latter).

Dans la position de fonctionnement normal de la poignée 1 le manchon 4b est engagé autour de la douille 4a. On remarque sur les figures que le manchon 4b comporte une ouverture 13 qui permet la mise en place de l'écrou 5, donc la fixation de la poignée 1 sur l'axe de commande 2.In the normal operating position of the handle 1 the sleeve 4b is engaged around the sleeve 4a. Note in the figures that the sleeve 4b has an opening 13 which allows the establishment of the nut 5, thus the attachment of the handle 1 on the control shaft 2.

Dans cette position, le manchon 4b est par ailleurs rendu solidaire de la douille 4a à l'aide d'un moyen de liaison cisaillable 14 qui est ici constitué par une goupille cylindrique 14 (simple tige cylindrique), parallèle à l'axe de pivotement 8. Cette goupille 14 se loge dans des trous portés par deux pattes 15a,15b (figure 3) solidaires de la douille 4a.In this position, the sleeve 4b is also made integral with the sleeve 4a by means of a shearable connection means 14 which is constituted by a cylindrical pin 14 (single cylindrical rod), parallel to the pivot axis 8. This pin 14 is housed in holes carried by two lugs 15a, 15b ( figure 3 ) integral with the sleeve 4a.

La goupille 14 est par ailleurs engagée dans deux autres trous 16 réalisés dans le manchon 4b. Concrètement, lors du montage de la poignée, on fixera le manchon 4b sur la douille 4a à l'aide du boulon matérialisant l'axe 8, puis on percera au cours d'une même opération les pattes 15a,15b et le manchon 4b. On introduira ensuite la goupille 14 dans les trous ainsi réalisés, ce qui solidarisera complètement manchon 4b et douille 4a. La goupille 14 est introduite à force dans les trous et se trouve immobilisée par un ajustement serré.The pin 14 is also engaged in two other holes 16 made in the sleeve 4b. Specifically, when mounting the handle, we will fix the sleeve 4b on the sleeve 4a with the bolt materializing the axis 8, then we will drill during the same operation the tabs 15a, 15b and the sleeve 4b. The pin 14 will then be introduced into the holes thus made, which will completely secure sleeve 4b and sleeve 4a. The pin 14 is forced into the holes and is immobilized by a tight fit.

La goupille 14 constitue un moyen cisaillable qui est défini et calibré de façon à se rompre lorsque l'on applique à l'organe de préhension 3 un effort F (figure 2) d'une certaine valeur (calibrée et prédéfinie) et orienté de façon à faire pivoter l'organe de préhension 3 et le manchon 4b par rapport à l'axe de pivotement 8 (effort ayant une composante parallèle à l'axe de commande 2).The pin 14 is a shearable means which is defined and calibrated so as to break when applying to the gripping member 3 a force F ( figure 2 ) of a certain value (calibrated and predefined) and oriented so as to pivot the gripping member 3 and the sleeve 4b with respect to the pivot axis 8 (force having a component parallel to the control axis 2 ).

La valeur de l'effort calibré sera choisie par l'Homme du Métier en fonction des contraintes d'emploi de la poignée. La goupille 14 ne doit pas se rompre pour les efforts reçus lors d'un emploi normal. Elle doit par contre se rompre lors d'un effort supérieur à la valeur calibrée choisie et qui correspond au choc occasionné par l'impact de l'ouvrant.The value of the calibrated force will be chosen by the skilled person according to the constraints of use of the handle. The pin 14 must not break for the efforts received during normal use. However, it must break during an effort greater than the calibrated value chosen and which corresponds to the shock caused by the impact of the opening.

A titre de variante on pourrait bien entendu remplacer la goupille cylindrique 14 par une vis cisaillable.As a variant it could of course replace the cylindrical pin 14 by a shearable screw.

La figure 4 montre schématiquement la poignée 1 fixée à un ouvrant 17 d'un véhicule (non représenté). La poignée 1 est ici fixée à l'extérieur de l'ouvrant. L'ouvrant 17 est représenté déformé comme suite à l'explosion, par exemple d'un IED, à l'extérieur du véhicule.The figure 4 shows schematically the handle 1 attached to an opening 17 of a vehicle (not shown). The handle 1 is here attached to the outside of the opening. The opening 17 is shown deformed as a result of the explosion, for example of an IED, outside the vehicle.

L'ouvrant 17 se trouve incurvé vers l'intérieur du véhicule et il se produit un impact de cet ouvrant 17 sur l'organe de préhension 3 (zone repérée Z).The opening 17 is curved towards the inside of the vehicle and there is an impact of this opening 17 on the gripping member 3 (zone marked Z).

Avec une poignée selon l'art antérieur l'organe de préhension 3 se trouverait impacté par l'ouvrant 17 et éventuellement rompu par cet impact. La poignée serait alors inutilisable.With a handle according to the prior art the gripping member 3 would be impacted by the opening 17 and possibly broken by this impact. The handle would then be unusable.

Avec la poignée 1 selon l'invention, le choc de l'ouvrant 17 sur l'organe de préhension 3 provoque le cisaillement de la goupille 14 et le pivotement Ω de l'organe de préhension 3 et du manchon 4b autour de l'axe 8.With the handle 1 according to the invention, the impact of the opening 17 on the gripping member 3 causes the shearing of the pin 14 and the pivoting Ω of the gripping member 3 and the sleeve 4b around the axis 8.

La combinaison manchon 4b/douille 4a autorise la rotation de l'organe de préhension 3 par rapport à l'axe de pivotement 8 ce qui empêche tout blocage de l'organe de préhension 3 par l'ouvrant 17.The combination sleeve 4b / sleeve 4a allows the rotation of the gripping member 3 relative to the pivot axis 8 which prevents any blocking of the gripping member 3 by the opening 17.

La poignée 1 n'étant plus bloquée, il demeure possible de l'utiliser pour actionner l'axe de commande 2, même lorsque l'organe de préhension 3 forme avec l'axe de commande un angle différent de l'angle d'origine.The handle 1 is no longer locked, it remains possible to use it to actuate the control shaft 2, even when the gripping member 3 forms with the control pin an angle different from the original angle .

A titre de variante il est possible de définir des moyens de liaison cisaillables de structures différentes.As a variant it is possible to define shearable connecting means of different structures.

On pourra par exemple remplacer la goupille 14 par un point de soudure ou au moins un point de colle. Ce point de soudure ou de colle sera disposé entre le manchon 4b et la douille 4a. Il sera rompu lorsque l'effort transmis par l'organe de préhension 3 dépassera un certain niveau calibré défini lors de la conception.For example, the pin 14 may be replaced by a weld spot or at least one point of glue. This weld or glue point will be disposed between the sleeve 4b and the sleeve 4a. It will be broken when the force transmitted by the gripping member 3 will exceed a certain calibrated level defined during the design.

On pourra également à titre de variante rendre le manchon 4b solidaire de la douille 4a par un montage serré de l'axe de pivotement 8. Un effort dépassant le niveau calibré choisi provoquera un couple de pivotement autour de l'axe 8 qui sera supérieur au couple de frottement.It may also alternatively make the sleeve 4b integral with the sleeve 4a by a tight fitting of the pivot axis 8. A force exceeding the selected calibrated level will cause a pivoting torque about the axis 8 which will be greater than the friction torque.

Les figures 5a et 5b montrent un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel l'organe de préhension 3 est solidaire d'un moyen d'entraînement 4 monobloc qui comporte un profil interne (non représenté) qui coopère d'une façon classique avec l'axe de commande 2.The Figures 5a and 5b show another embodiment of the invention in which the gripping member 3 is integral with a monobloc drive means 4 which comprises an internal profile (not shown) which cooperates in a conventional manner with the axis of order 2.

L'organe de préhension 3 comporte une zone 18 qui a subi un traitement thermique localisé qui donne à cet organe 3 la capacité de se déformer sans rupture au niveau de la zone 18.The gripping member 3 comprises an area 18 which has undergone a localized heat treatment which gives this member 3 the ability to deform without breaking at the zone 18.

Par ailleurs la zone 18 sera choisie telle que la section (ou l'inertie) de l'organe 3 à ce niveau permette de faciliter une déformation plastique.In addition, the zone 18 will be chosen such that the section (or the inertia) of the member 3 at this level makes it possible to facilitate a plastic deformation.

L'organe de préhension 3 sera réalisé en acier et le traitement thermique sera par exemple un revenu réalisé au niveau de la zone 18 à l'aide d'un outillage approprié.The gripping member 3 will be made of steel and the heat treatment will for example be an income made at the zone 18 with the aid of appropriate tools.

La figure 5b montre l'ouvrant 17 représenté déformé comme suite à l'explosion d'un IED à l'extérieur du véhicule.The figure 5b shows the opening 17 shown deformed as a result of the explosion of an IED outside the vehicle.

L'ouvrant 17 a impacté sur l'organe de préhension 3 (zone repérée Z) et provoqué le pliage de cet organe 3 au niveau de la zone 18. Ce pliage est assimilable à un pivotement d'une partie 3a de l'organe de préhension 3 par rapport à un axe de pivotement virtuel 19 (voisin de la zone 18), perpendiculaire à l'axe de commande 2. La partie 3b de l'organe de préhension 3 reste non déformée.The opening 17 has impacted the gripping member 3 (zone marked Z) and caused the folding of this member 3 at the zone 18. This folding is comparable to a pivoting of a portion 3a of the body gripping 3 relative to a virtual pivot axis 19 (adjacent to the zone 18), perpendicular to the control axis 2. The portion 3b of the gripping member 3 remains undeformed.

Là encore l'organe de préhension 3 reste opérationnel après le pliage.Again the gripping member 3 remains operational after folding.
