Description

DomaineField TechniqueTechnical

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des dispositifs de verrouillage de porte depuis l'intérieur d'une pièce à verrouiller. Cette invention vise plus particulièrement les dispositifs de verrouillage de porte de compartiment de toilettes pouvant équiper, d'une part, des véhicules de type ferroviaires mais également de type aériens, routiers ou navals, et d'autre part, des lieux publics tels que des gares, musées, restaurants, hôtels ou de la voirie.The invention relates to the field of door locking devices from within a room to be locked. More particularly, this invention relates to the toilet compartment door locking devices that can equip, on the one hand, railway-type vehicles but also on the air, road or naval type, and on the other hand, public places such as railway stations, museums, restaurants, hotels or roads.

ArtArt antérieurprior

De façon générale, les dispositifs de verrouillage d'une porte peuvent permettre de fournir aux personnes situées à l'extérieur du compartiment une information visuelle fonction de l'état libre ou occupé du compartiment. Généralement, on utilise des signaux lumineux ou des codes couleurs tels que le vert pour indiquer que le compartiment est libre et le rouge pour indiquer que le compartiment est occupé.In general, the locking devices of a door can make it possible to provide persons located outside the compartment with visual information depending on the free or occupied state of the compartment. Generally, light signals or color codes such as green are used to indicate that the compartment is free and red to indicate that the compartment is occupied.

Ce faisant, de tels dispositifs de verrouillage ne permettent pas d'informer les personnes malvoyantes sur l'état occupé ou libre du compartiment. Celles-ci sont donc obligées de demander l'aide d'un tiers.In doing so, such locking devices do not make it possible to inform visually impaired people about the occupied or free state of the compartment. They are therefore obliged to seek the help of a third party.

D'autre part, le document JP 2006-177109A décrit un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte de compartiment toilette selon le préambule de la revendication 1, donc comportant un organe d'information permettant de fournir au moins deux informations tactiles et visuelles fonction de l'état sélectionné par l'élément de verrouillage.On the other hand, the document JP 2006-177109A describes a device for locking a toilet compartment door according to the preamble of claim 1, thus comprising an information member for providing at least two tactile and visual information according to the state selected by the locking element.

Ainsi, le but de l'invention est de fournir une solution alternative pour faciliter le voyage ou le quotidien des personnes malvoyantes dans un véhicule ou dans des lieux publics et améliorer leur confort durant leur voyage ou leur déplacement. Le but est également de simplifier l'utilisation et la compréhension de l'état du compartiment libre ou occupé pour tous les usagers.Thus, the object of the invention is to provide an alternative solution to facilitate the travel or daily lives of visually impaired people in a vehicle or in public places and improve their comfort during their journey or their displacement. The aim is also to simplify the use and understanding of the state of the free or occupied compartment for all users.

Exposé dePresentation of l'inventionthe invention

L'invention concerne donc un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte de compartiment toilettes comportant un élément de verrouillage de la porte commandé manuellement depuis l'intérieur du compartiment. Un tel élément de verrouillage permet de sélectionner les états libre et occupé du compartiment et de verrouiller la porte lorsque l'état occupé est sélectionné.The invention therefore relates to a locking device of a toilet compartment door having a door locking element manually controlled from inside the compartment. Such a locking element makes it possible to select the free and occupied states of the compartment and to lock the door when the busy state is selected.

De plus, un tel dispositif comporte un organe d'information agencé sur la porte au moins à l'extérieur du compartiment et permettant de fournir au moins deux informations tactiles et visuelles fonction de l'état sélectionné par l'élément de verrouillage.In addition, such a device comprises an information element arranged on the door at least outside the compartment and for providing at least two tactile and visual information depending on the state selected by the locking element.

Selon l'invention, ce dispositif se caractérise en ce qu' l'organe d'information comporte des pictogrammes en relief pour fournir une information tactile.According to the invention, this device is characterized in that the information element comprises raised pictograms for providing tactile information.

En d'autres termes, lorsqu'une personne malvoyante désire connaître l'état libre ou occupé du compartiment, celle-ci doit toucher l'organe d'information agencé sur la porte et identifier l'information tactile et visuelle correspondante au moyen des pictogrammes agencés sur l'organe d'information. Lorsqu'une personne entre dans le compartiment toilettes et souhaite en verrouiller sa porte, elle déplace l'élément de verrouillage pour sélectionner l'état occupé. L'actionnement de l'élément de verrouillage commande également l'organe d'information de manière à rendre accessible au toucher et visible la portion correspondant à l'état occupé du compartiment.In other words, when a visually impaired person wishes to know the free or occupied state of the compartment, it must touch the information organ arranged on the door and identify the corresponding tactile and visual information by means of the pictograms arranged on the information element. When a person enters the toilet compartment and wishes to lock their door, they move the locking element to select the busy state. The actuation of the locking element also controls the information member so as to make accessible to touch and visible the portion corresponding to the occupied state of the compartment.

Avantageusement, l'organe d'information permet de fournir une troisième information tactile et visuelle correspondant à un état hors service du compartiment.Advantageously, the information element makes it possible to provide a third tactile and visual information corresponding to an out-of-service state of the compartment.

Ainsi, selon un premier mode de réalisation, la troisième information tactile et visuelle peut être sélectionnée par une personne habilitée au moyen d'une clé depuis l'extérieur du compartiment.Thus, according to a first embodiment, the third tactile and visual information can be selected by a person authorized by means of a key from outside the compartment.

Autrement dit, la personne habilitée, qui peut être un contrôleur de billets dans un véhicule, peut verrouiller de l'extérieur le compartiment toilettes au moyen d'une clé spécifique. L'organe d'information est donc, dans ce cas, également déplacé de manière à fournir une troisième information tactile et visuelle distincte des deux précédentes. Cette troisième information tactile et visuelle ne peut être sélectionnée que par une personne habilitée, elle ne peut pas être sélectionnée depuis l'intérieur du compartiment au moyen de l'élément de verrouillage.In other words, the authorized person, who can be a ticket inspector in a vehicle, can lock the toilet compartment from outside using a specific key. The information element is, in this case, also moved so as to provide a third tactile and visual information distinct from the two previous ones. This third tactile and visual information can only be selected by an authorized person, it can not be selected from inside the compartment by means of the locking element.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, la troisième information tactile et visuelle peut être sélectionnée automatiquement.According to a second embodiment, the third tactile and visual information can be selected automatically.

Dans ce cas, la troisième information tactile et visuelle est sélectionnée de manière automatique par l'automate du compartiment de toilettes lorsque qu'un dysfonctionnement est détecté tel une cuvette pleine ou bouchée par exemple.In this case, the third tactile and visual information is automatically selected by the automat of the toilet compartment when a malfunction is detected such as a full cuvette or clogged for example.

Par ailleurs, la liaison entre l'élément de verrouillage et l'organe d'information peut être de natures diverses.Moreover, the connection between the locking element and the information element can be of various natures.

Ainsi, selon un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif de verrouillage peut comporter une liaison mécanique agencée entre l'élément de verrouillage et l'organe d'information. Une telle liaison mécanique peut comporter des éléments tels que des engrenages, des cames, des biellettes, etc.Thus, according to a first embodiment, the locking device may comprise a mechanical connection arranged between the locking element and the information element. Such a mechanical connection may include elements such as gears, cams, links, etc.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, le dispositif de verrouillage peut comporter une liaison électrique agencée entre l'élément de verrouillage et l'organe d'information. Un servomoteur peut ainsi commander le déplacement de l'organe d'information.According to a second embodiment, the locking device may comprise an electrical connection arranged between the locking element and the information element. A servomotor can thus control the displacement of the information member.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'organe d'information peut être un ensemble monobloc mobile en rotation et comporter trois zones de formes différentes, réparties chacune sur un secteur angulaire de 120 degrés.According to a particular embodiment, the information element may be a one-piece assembly rotatable and have three zones of different shapes, each distributed over an angular sector of 120 degrees.

De cette manière, la rotation de l'organe d'information, pilotée par l'élément de verrouillage ou la clé depuis l'extérieur du compartiment, permet de rendre apparente l'une des trois zones de forme spécifique au niveau d'une ouverture ménagée dans la porte. Chacune des trois zones est donc alternativement accessible au toucher et visible lors d'une rotation de 120 degrés de l'organe d'information. Chaque forme distinctive correspond à un état déterminé du compartiment de toilettes.In this way, the rotation of the information member, controlled by the locking element or the key from outside the compartment, makes it possible to make apparent one of the three zones of specific shape at an opening arranged in the door. Each of the three zones is alternately accessible to the touch and visible during a 120 degree rotation of the information element. Each distinctive shape corresponds to a specific state of the toilet compartment.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'organe d'information peut être un ensemble formé par au moins deux éléments, l'un deux éléments étant apte à recouvrir l'autre élément Dans ce cas, l'élément d'information Hors Service peut donc être distinct de celui des états libre et occupé et formé par un disque ou cache apte à recouvrir les deux autres éléments lors de sa mise en action.According to another embodiment, the information element may be an assembly formed by at least two elements, one of them being able to cover the other element. In this case, the out-of-service information element can therefore be distinct from that of free and occupied states and formed by a disk or cache able to cover the other two elements when it is put into action.

Avantageusement, l'organe d'information peut comporter des pictogrammes en relief permettant de fournir une information tactile. En effet, les pictogrammes en relief peuvent être facilement identifiables par une personne malvoyante.Advantageously, the information element may include raised pictograms for providing tactile information. Indeed, pictograms in relief can be easily identifiable by a visually impaired person.

Avantageusement, l'organe d'information peut être agencé à proximité immédiate de la poignée d'ouverture de la porte du compartiment. Un tel agencement est notamment avantageux lorsque la liaison séparant l'organe d'information et l'élément de verrouillage est de type mécanique. Cette position facilite également le repérage de l'information par son caractère intuitif.Advantageously, the information member may be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the opening handle of the compartment door. Such an arrangement is particularly advantageous when the connection separating the information element and the locking element is of mechanical type. This position also facilitates the identification of information by its intuitive nature.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, l'élément de verrouillage peut être mobile en translation entre deux positions correspondant aux états libre et occupé du compartiment. Par conséquent, il suffit à l'utilisateur de pousser ou de tirer l'élément de verrouillage après avoir fermé la porte du compartiment.According to a first embodiment, the locking element can be movable in translation between two positions corresponding to the free and occupied states of the compartment. Therefore, it is sufficient for the user to push or pull the locking element after closing the compartment door.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, l'élément de verrouillage peut être mobile en rotation entre deux positions correspondant aux états libre et occupé du compartiment. Dans ce cas, il suffit à l'utilisateur de faire pivoter l'élément de verrouillage une fois la porte du compartiment refermée.According to a second embodiment, the locking element can be rotatable between two positions corresponding to the free and occupied states of the compartment. In this case, it is sufficient for the user to rotate the locking element once the compartment door closed.

En pratique, l'organe d'information peut être agencé sur la porte à l'intérieur du compartiment. De cette manière, une fois l'élément de verrouillage actionné, il est possible pour une personne malvoyante de vérifier si la porte est correctement verrouillée.In practice, the information element can be arranged on the door inside the compartment. In this way, once the locking element has been actuated, it is possible for a visually impaired person to check whether the door is properly locked.

Comme déjà évoqué, l'invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte de compartiment de toilettes.As already mentioned, the invention relates to a device for locking a toilet compartment door.

Tel que représenté à la figure 1, un tel dispositif de verrouillage comporte un élément de verrouillage (1) situé à l'intérieur du compartiment et permettant de verrouiller ou de permettre l'ouverture de la porte (2) au moyen d'une poignée (8). Par ailleurs, le dispositif de verrouillage comporte un organe d'information (3) qui peut être positionné à l'intérieur de la porte pour fournir une information à son occupantAs shown in figure 1 such a locking device comprises a locking element (1) located inside the compartment and for locking or allowing the opening of the door (2) by means of a handle (8). Furthermore, the locking device comprises an information member (3) which can be positioned inside the door to provide information to its occupant

Tel que représenté à la figure 2, lorsqu'une personne souhaite verrouiller la porte du compartiment, elle déplace l'élément de verrouillage (1) pour sélectionner l'état occupé du compartiment et verrouiller la porte. Simultanément, l'organe d'information (3) change de forme pour permettre à un usager malvoyant de vérifier l'état sélectionné du compartiment.As shown in figure 2 when a person wishes to lock the compartment door, it moves the locking element (1) to select the occupied state of the compartment and lock the door. Simultaneously, the information element (3) changes shape to allow a visually impaired user to check the selected state of the compartment.

Tel que représenté à la figure 3, le dispositif de verrouillage comporte également un organe d'information (3) agencé à l'extérieur du compartiment. L'état sélectionné est l'état libre du compartiment. Par ailleurs, une serrure (9) peut permettre à une personne habilitée de verrouiller de l'extérieur la porte (2).As shown in figure 3 , the locking device also comprises an information member (3) arranged outside the compartment. The selected state is the free state of the compartment. Furthermore, a lock (9) may allow a person authorized to lock the door (2) from the outside.

Tel que représenté à la figure 4, l'organe d'information permet de signaler à l'extérieur un état occupé du compartiment.As shown in figure 4 , the information element makes it possible to signal to the outside a busy state of the compartment.

Tel que représenté à la figure 5, l'organe d'information (3) permet de signaler un état hors service du compartiment. Cet état peut être sélectionné par la personne habilitée au moyen d'une clé spécifique introduite dans la serrure (9) ou bien de manière automatique.As shown in figure 5 , the information element (3) makes it possible to signal an out-of-service state of the compartment. This state can be selected by the authorized person by means of a specific key introduced into the lock (9) or automatically.

Tel que représenté à la figure 6, l'organe d'information (3) comporte trois zones (4, 5, 6) de formes différentes, chaque zone étant répartie sur un secteur angulaire de 120 degrés. Par ailleurs, des pictogrammes (7, 17, 27) sont agencés sur l'organe d'information de manière à faciliter la compréhension de l'état sélectionné du compartiment.As shown in figure 6 the information element (3) comprises three zones (4, 5, 6) of different shapes, each zone being distributed over an angular sector of 120 degrees. Furthermore, pictograms (7, 17, 27) are arranged on the information element so as to facilitate understanding of the selected state of the compartment.

L'état "libre" peut être symbolisé par un pictogramme (17) formé par un cercle en relief par rapport à un plan de fond de l'organe d'information (3) tandis que l'état "occupé" peut être symbolisé par un pictogramme (17) formé par un cercle barré en relief.The "free" state can be symbolized by a pictogram (17) formed by a circle in relief with respect to a background plane of the information element (3) while the "busy" state can be symbolized by a pictogram (17) formed by a raised bar circle.

L'état "hors service" du compartiment de toilettes peut quant à lui être symbolisé par un pictogramme (7) formé, par exemple, par une croix en relief de hauteur supérieur à 1mm.The state "out of service" of the toilet compartment may be symbolized by a pictogram (7) formed, for example, by a raised cross height greater than 1mm.

Tel que représenté à la figure 7, l'organe d'information (3) peut également comporter des pictogrammes (7, 17, 27) se présentant sous d'autres formes. Ainsi, l'état "libre" du compartiment peut être symbolisé par un pictogramme (17) formé par une portion sphérique en creux et en relief par rapport au plan de fond de l'organe d'information (3).As shown in figure 7 the information element (3) may also include pictograms (7, 17, 27) in other forms. Thus, the "free" state of the compartment may be symbolized by a pictogram (17) formed by a hollow spherical portion and in relief relative to the background plane of the information member (3).

L'état "occupé" du compartiment peut être quant à lui symbolisé par un pictogramme (27) formé par une portion sphérique bombée et en relief.The "occupied" state of the compartment may be symbolized by a pictogram (27) formed by a convex spherical portion and raised.

De telles portions sphériques bombée ou creuse peuvent chacune comporter un diamètre d'environ 10mm et présenter une hauteur de relief supérieure à 1.5mm.Such convex or hollow spherical portions may each have a diameter of about 10 mm and have a relief height greater than 1.5 mm.

Il ressort de ce qui précède qu'un dispositif de verrouillage conforme à l'invention, comporte de multiples avantages, et notamment :

  • il permet d'informer des personnes malvoyantes de l'état d'occupation d'un compartiment de toilettes,
  • il présente une grande simplicité d'utilisation,
  • il est relativement simple à mettre en oeuvre et n'engendre pas des coûts très importants.
It follows from the foregoing that a locking device according to the invention has many advantages, and in particular:
  • it allows to inform visually impaired people of the state of occupation of a toilet compartment,
  • it presents a great simplicity of use,
  • it is relatively simple to implement and does not generate very significant costs.
