Description

L'invention concerne une poignée d'ouverture et de fermeture de porte telle que celle de caisson isotherme, du type comprenant un socle fixe, un bras monté pivotant sur le socle, entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture de la porte et un crochet monté pivotant sur le bras, entre une position de fermeture de la poignée dans laquelle il vient en prise derrière un élément de retenue fixe et une position d'ouverture de la poignée, le bras pivotant comportant une partie d'extrémité de réception de l'axe de pivotement du corps de poignée et une partie intermédiaire entre cette partie d'extrémité et l'extrémité opposée d'actionnement de la poignée.The invention relates to a door opening and closing handle such as that of isothermal box, of the type comprising a fixed base, an arm pivotally mounted on the base, between an open position and a closed position of the door and a hook pivotally mounted on the arm, between a closed position of the handle in which it engages behind a fixed retainer and an open position of the handle, the pivot arm having a receiving end portion the pivot axis of the handle body and an intermediate portion between this end portion and the opposite end of actuating the handle.

Une poignée de ce type est connue par le document EP 1 531 219 . Cette poignée est conçue pour accroître sa résistance en flexion et à cette fin la partie intermédiaire comporte une surface supérieure qui est légèrement bombée vers le haut. D'autre part, la poignée est étroite dans sa partie d'extrémité de réception de l'axe de pivotement et s'élargit en direction de la zone centrale.A handle of this type is known from the document EP 1 531 219 . This handle is designed to increase its bending strength and for this purpose the intermediate portion has an upper surface which is slightly domed upwards. On the other hand, the handle is narrow in its receiving end portion of the pivot axis and widens towards the central area.

La poignée selon l'invention, par rapport à la poignée connue, a pour but de faire en sorte que les sollicitations mécaniques s'exerçant sur la poignée soient distribuées sur toute la surface du corps de poignée pour réduire au minimum le matériel nécessaire pour la réalisation de la poignée et donc pour en réduire le prix de revient.The handle according to the invention, with respect to the known handle, is intended to ensure that the mechanical stresses exerted on the handle are distributed over the entire surface of the handle body to minimize the material necessary for the realization of the handle and therefore to reduce the cost.

Pour atteindre ce but, la partie intermédiaire du bras pivotant de la poignée présente une section transversale en forme d'un U et dont la surface supérieure et les faces latérales présentent une forme concave d'augmentation de la résistance mécanique de cette partie intermédiaire, de façon que les sollicitations mécaniques s'exerçant de la poignée soient distribuées sur toute la surface du corps de poignée.To achieve this purpose, the intermediate portion of the pivoting arm of the handle has a U-shaped cross section and whose upper surface and the lateral faces have a concave shape for increasing the mechanical strength of this intermediate portion, so that the mechanical stresses exerted from the handle are distributed over the entire surface of the handle body.

Une poignée selon l'invention, telle que représentée aux figures 1 à 4 comporte essentiellement un socle fixe 1 sur lequel est monté rotative autour d'un axe disposé à l'emplacement 2 un bras 3 se composant d'un corps de poignée 4 et d'une manette 5 articulée, à l'aide d'un axe 6, à l'extrémité libre du corps de poignée 4. Le corps de poignée loge une serrure 8 susceptible d'être recouverte par un capot 9 monté pivotant autour de l'axe 2.A handle according to the invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 essentially comprises a fixed base 1 on which is rotatably mounted about an axis disposed at the location 2 an arm 3 consisting of a handle body 4 and an articulated lever 5, using an axis 6, at the free end of the handle body 4. The handle body houses a lock 8 may be covered by a cover 9 pivotally mounted about the axis 2.

La particularité de l'invention réside essentiellement dans la configuration et la structure du corps de poignée 4. Cependant, avant de décrire ces deux aspects majeurs de l'invention, dans l'objectif de faciliter la compréhension de l'invention, on décrira tout d'abord brièvement la structure générale et le fonctionnement d'une poignée de crémone du type de l'invention.The particularity of the invention lies essentially in the configuration and the structure of the handle body 4. However, before describing these two major aspects of the invention, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, all first briefly the general structure and operation of a cremone handle of the type of the invention.

La figure 6 montre une telle poignée dans sa position fermée. Le bras rotatif 3 comportant le corps de poignée 4 et la manette 5 est bloqué dans sa position fermée par un dispositif de verrou 11 associé au corps de poignée 4 et qui comporte un organe de crochet 12 qui vient en prise derrière l'extrémité 13 quelque peu relevée du socle 1 destiné à être fixé sur un support à l'aide par exemple de vis. Le dispositif de verrou 11 est pourvu d'une partie de patte extérieure d'actionnement 15. Sous l'effet d'une force de pression sur la patte 15, le verrou 11 est susceptible de pivoter dans la direction de la flèche F1 à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel 14, de sa position verrouillée, par son crochet 12, sur la partie 13 libre du socle 1, dans une position libre, montrée à la figure 8. Le dispositif de verrou 11 est pivotant autour de l'axe de pivotement 6 de la manette 5. En comparant les figures 6 et 7, on constate que la manette 5 est bloquée dans sa position fermée de la poignée tant que le dispositif de verrou 11 est dans sa position verrouillée montrée à la figure 6. En effet, dans cette position du verrou 11, une goupille 16 de la manette est en appui contre une face arrière de butée 17 du verrou. Par contre lorsque le verrou 11 a été amené à pivoter dans la position dans laquelle le crochet 12 est dégagé du socle, représenté à la figure 7, la manette 5 est susceptible de pivoter en direction de la flèche F2, d'abord seule jusqu'à dans sa position de la figure 8 et ensuite en entraînant en rotation le verrou 11, lorsque la saillie 16 revient en contact avec la face de butée 17. Le corps de poignée 4 est maintenant solidaire en rotation du verrou 11 du fait qu'une face de butée 19 du verrou vient en appui contre une butée 20 du corps 4. La figure 8 montre la poignée au moment de la solidarisation en rotation de la manette 5 du verrou 11 et du corps de poignée 4. La figure 4 illustre le bras rotatif 3 dans sa position ouverte de la poignée. Le mouvement de pivotement s'est fait à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel 18 interposé entre le socle 1 et le corps 4.The figure 6 shows such a handle in its closed position. The rotary arm 3 having the handle body 4 and the handle 5 is locked in its closed position by a latch device 11 associated with the handle body 4 and which has a hook member 12 which engages behind the end 13 little raised base 1 to be fixed on a support using for example screws. The latch device 11 is provided with an outer actuating lug portion 15. Under the effect of a pressing force on the lug 15, the latch 11 is pivotable in the direction of the arrow F1 to the lug 15. against a return spring 14, its locked position, by its hook 12, on the free portion 13 of the base 1, in a free position, shown in FIG. figure 8 . The lock device 11 is pivotable about the pivot axis 6 of the handle 5. Comparing the Figures 6 and 7 it is found that the handle 5 is locked in its closed position of the handle as long as the latch device 11 is in its locked position shown in FIG. figure 6 . Indeed, in this position of the lock 11, a pin 16 of the handle is in abutment against a rear abutment 17 of the lock. On the other hand, when the latch 11 has been caused to pivot in the position in which the hook 12 is disengaged from the base, represented in FIG. figure 7 , the lever 5 is pivotable in the direction of the arrow F2, first only until in its position of the figure 8 and then by rotating the latch 11, when the projection 16 comes into contact with the abutment face 17. The handle body 4 is now integral in rotation with the latch 11 because a stop face 19 of the latch comes into operation. support against a stop 20 4. The body figure 8 shows the handle when the latch lever 11 and the handle body 4 rotate in rotation. figure 4 illustrates the rotary arm 3 in its open position of the handle. The pivoting movement was made against a return spring 18 interposed between the base 1 and the body 4.

Il est encore à noter que la serrure 8 permet de bloquer la poignée dans sa position fermée. A cette fin le barillet 21 de la serrure 8 comprend un pêne 21 qui s'engage dans une fente 22 de la butée 20 et empêche le mouvement de déverrouillage du dispositif de verrou 11.It should also be noted that the lock 8 makes it possible to lock the handle in its closed position. For this purpose the barrel 21 of the lock 8 comprises a bolt 21 which engages in a slot 22 of the abutment 20 and prevents the unlocking movement of the latch device 11.

Une des particularités essentielle de l'invention concerne la configuration et la structure du corps de poignée 4. Ce corps présente la particularité que sa forme est conçue pour répartir les sollicitations mécaniques, avantageusement sensiblement uniformément, sur toute la surface, tout en réduisant la quantité de la matière constituant la poignée, c'est-à-dire la quantité de la tôle du flan à partir duquel cette poignée est réalisée par pliage.One of the essential features of the invention relates to the configuration and the structure of the handle body 4. This body has the particularity that its shape is designed to distribute the mechanical stresses, advantageously substantially uniformly, over the entire surface, while reducing the amount of the material constituting the handle, that is to say the amount of blank sheet from which this handle is made by folding.

Comme le montre les figures, notamment les figures 9 et 10, la poignée comporte à une extrémité une partie de tôle enroulée 24, de forme cylindrique pour le passage de l'axe de pivotement 2 du bras rotatif 3 de la poignée. L'axe de la partie enroulée 24 s'étend perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale du corps de poignée. Le restant de ce corps présente une section transversale en forme d'un U. C'est notamment la forme de cette partie restante, qui est conçue pour répartir les sollicitations mécaniques s'exerçant sur ce corps de poignée sur toute la surface, tout en réduisant la quantité de la matière, c'est-à-dire de la tôle.As the figures show, especially the Figures 9 and 10 , the handle comprises at one end a portion of rolled sheet 24, of cylindrical shape for the passage of the pivot axis 2 of the rotary arm 3 of the handle. The axis of the wound portion 24 extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle body. The remainder of this body has a cross section in the shape of a U. This is particularly the shape of this remaining part, which is designed to distribute the mechanical stresses exerted on the handle body over the entire surface, while reducing the quantity of the material, that is to say of the sheet.

A cette fin la partie 25 de la poignée, située entre l'extrémité enroulée 24, et la partie opposée 26, située du côté du dispositif verrou 11 et de la manette 5 et qui loge en 30 la serrure et comporte à son extrémité libre les orifices 31 de passage de l'axe 6 de pivotement du verrou 11 et de la manette 5, est configurée d'une façon spécifique. Aussi bien sa face supérieure 27 que ses faces latérales 28 présentent une forme concave assurant des hautes prestations de résistance mécanique. La face bombée concave supérieur 27 présente une fente 29 de passage d'une patte de tir qui sera présentée plus loin.To this end the portion 25 of the handle, located between the wound end 24, and the opposite portion 26, located on the side of the latch device 11 and the lever 5 and which houses the lock 30 and has at its free end the orifices 31 for passage of the pivot axis 6 of the latch 11 and the lever 5, is configured in a specific manner. Both its upper face 27 and its lateral faces 28 have a concave shape ensuring high performances of mechanical strength. The upper concave convex face 27 has a slot 29 for passing a firing lug which will be presented later.

La partie bombée 25 sera, le cas échéant, renforcé par l'insertion d'un renfort assemblé au corps par soudage. Les cordons de soudure seront alors prévus à des endroits de moindre sollicitation mécanique.The curved portion 25 will be, if necessary, reinforced by the insertion of a reinforcement assembled to the body by welding. The weld seams will then be provided at locations with less mechanical stress.

Ainsi notamment les figures 10 et 11 illustrent une pièce 33 de renfort de la partie intermédiaire bombée 25 du corps de poignée. Cette pièce présente une section transversale en forme d'un U dont la géométrie est adaptée à la face interne également en forme d'un U de la partie intermédiaire. La forme du renfort 33 est telle que sa face externe 34 épouse le mieux possible la face interne de la partie intermédiaire si bien que, une fois montés sur cette face interne, les deux éléments coopèrent de façon à simuler, dans cette partie du corps de poignée, une tôle dont l'épaisseur est la somme des épaisseurs de la pièce 33 et de la partie intermédiaire 25. La fixation du renfort 33 dans la partie intermédiaire 23 se fait par soudage. Le renfort 33 s'étend jusqu'à la proximité de la partie enroulée, ce qui permet d'effectuer un double soudage près de cette partie la plus sollicitée. On constate que le renfort comporte une fente 37 de passage de la patte de tir déjà mentionné.In particular, figures 10 and 11 illustrate a reinforcing piece 33 of the convex intermediate portion 25 of the handle body. This piece has a U-shaped cross section whose geometry is adapted to the inner face also in the form of a U of the intermediate portion. The shape of the reinforcement 33 is such that its outer face 34 matches as closely as possible the inner face of the intermediate portion so that, once mounted on this inner face, the two elements cooperate to simulate, in this part of the body of handle, a sheet whose thickness is the sum of the thicknesses of the part 33 and the intermediate portion 25. The attachment of the reinforcement 33 in the intermediate portion 23 is by welding. The reinforcement 33 extends to the vicinity of the wound portion, which makes it possible to double-weld near this most stressed part. It is found that the reinforcement comprises a slot 37 for passage of the firing pad already mentioned.

Les figures 9 à 12 illustrent une autre pièce 38 de renfort, qui est destinée à être disposée dans la partie d'extrémité du corps de poignée, qui comporte les orifices de passage 31 de l'axe de pivotement du dispositif verrou 11 et de la manette 5. Cette pièce 38 est destinée à fermer le corps de poignée et présente la forme générale d'un U placé de façon que sa base 40 soit orientée perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal du corps de poignée et les branches 41 s'étendent parallèlement aux faces latérales du corps à l'intérieur de celui-ci en étant en appui sur ces faces. Les faces d'extrémité 42 des branches 41 présentent le même profil que la face frontale 43 de l'extrémité du corps de poignée si bien que cette pièce 38 et la partie d'extrémité 40 du corps coopèrent comme s'il s'agissait d'un ensemble dont l'épaisseur des parois est la somme des épaisseurs de la pièce 38 et de cette partie d'extrémité. Chaque branche 41 de la pièce 38 présente un orifice 45 qui est en alignement axial avec l'orifice correspondant 31 du corps et forme donc avec celui-ci un palier de l'axe de pivotement 6. La pièce 38, à l'état monté dans le corps de poignée, est en appui par son bord supérieur 46 contre le fond du corps. Chaque branche comporte, près de son bord opposé 47, une patte de butée 49 obtenue par découpe dans la branche et repliage selon un angle de 90° hors de cette branche. Ces pattes constituent des butées assurant le positionnement en alignement avec le corps de poignée, de la manette 5 lorsque la poignée occupe sa position fermée. On constate encore que la paroi de base 40 est pourvue d'une fente transversale qui est la fente 22 de passage du pêne de la serrure, visible sur les figures 6 à 8, la paroi de base 40 constituant la butée 19 de limitation du pivotement du dispositif de verrou 11, selon ces figures.The Figures 9 to 12 illustrate another reinforcing piece 38, which is intended to be disposed in the end portion of the handle body, which comprises the passage holes 31 of the pivot axis of the latch device 11 and the lever 5. This piece 38 is intended to close the handle body and has the general shape of a U placed so that its base 40 is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the handle body and the branches 41 extend parallel to the lateral faces of the body inside of it by being supported on these faces. The end faces 42 of the branches 41 have the same profile as the end face 43 of the end of the body of handle so that this part 38 and the end portion 40 of the body cooperate as if it were an assembly whose wall thickness is the sum of the thicknesses of the part 38 and this end portion . Each leg 41 of the piece 38 has an orifice 45 which is in axial alignment with the corresponding orifice 31 of the body and thus forms therewith a bearing of the pivot axis 6. The piece 38, in the mounted state in the handle body, is supported by its upper edge 46 against the bottom of the body. Each branch has, near its opposite edge 47, a stop tab 49 obtained by cutting in the branch and folding at an angle of 90 ° out of this branch. These tabs constitute abutments ensuring positioning in alignment with the handle body of the handle 5 when the handle is in its closed position. It is also found that the base wall 40 is provided with a transverse slot which is the slot 22 for passing the bolt of the lock, visible on the Figures 6 to 8 , the base wall 40 constituting the abutment 19 for limiting the pivoting of the latch device 11, according to these figures.

Concernant le soudage des différents éléments constitutifs de la poignée, qui vient d'être décrits, on constate que le corps de poignée 4 est soudé près de sa partie enroulée 24, en 50.Regarding the welding of the various components of the handle, which has just been described, it is found that the handle body 4 is welded near its wound portion 24, 50.

Le renfort 33 est soudé en plusieurs points. Ceci permet de ne pas affaiblir le corps de poignée pendant le soudage de celui-ci. Ainsi l'invention prévoit un soudage à proximité de la partie enroulée 24 du corps en 33, pour renforcer la zone la plus sollicitée pendant le fonctionnement de la poignée. L'extrémité 52 du renfort 33, présente une forme arquée adaptée à celle de la partie enroulée. Des cordons de soudure 53 sont appliqués le long des côtes du corps de poignée pour fermer l'ensemble formé par le corps de poignée et le renfort en rendant la forme similaire à un profil tubulaire. L'extrémité 54 opposée à la partie enroulée, du renfort, est assemblée au corps de poignée par des cordons de soudure 55 pour réduire les flexions du corps pendant l'utilisation normal de la poignée par une opération.The reinforcement 33 is welded at several points. This makes it possible not to weaken the handle body during welding thereof. Thus the invention provides a weld near the wound portion 24 of the body 33, to strengthen the most stressed area during operation of the handle. The end 52 of the reinforcement 33 has an arcuate shape adapted to that of the wound portion. Welding beads 53 are applied along the ribs of the handle body to close the assembly formed by the handle body and the reinforcement making the shape similar to a tubular profile. The end 54 opposite the wound portion of the reinforcement is joined to the handle body by welding beads 55 to reduce bending of the body during normal use of the handle by an operation.

La pièce 38 est soudée en 57 uniquement sur les côtés du corps de poignée pour fermer ce corps en rendant la forme similaire à un profil tubulaire. Aucun autre soudage sur cette pièce n'est nécessaire car pendant les phases successives de travail cette zone sera consolidée par l'axe de pivotement 6 de la manette, qui sera rabattue et stabilisera ultérieurement la structure.The piece 38 is welded at 57 only on the sides of the handle body to close the body making the shape similar to a tubular profile. No further welding on this part is necessary because during the successive phases of work this area will be consolidated by the pivot axis 6 of the handle, which will be folded down and subsequently stabilize the structure.

Comme il ressort de la figure 5, l'invention prévoit encore un support 60 de pivotement de la poignée entière qui présente la forme d'un U dont les branches 61 présentent des orifices renforcés 62 de passage de l'axe de pivotement 2 de la poignée et sur la base 63 de laquelle est fixée l'extrémité avant du socle. La base 63 et cette extrémité présentent à cette fin des trous de passage des moyens de fixation, qui sont désignés respectivement par les références 65 et 66. La figure 5 montre encore une pièce 68 appelée patte de tir qui est fixée sur le socle, s'étend à travers une fente 70 pratiquée dans la surface supérieure de la partie bombée du corps de poignée et présente dans son extrémité libre des évidements 72 de mise en place d'un cadenas de verrouillage de la poignée dans sa position fermée. Une équerre 74 s'étend également à travers cette fente, parallèlement à la patte de tir.As is apparent from the figure 5 , the invention further provides a support 60 for pivoting the entire handle which has the shape of a U whose branches 61 have reinforced holes 62 for passage of the pivot axis 2 of the handle and on the base 63 of which is fixed the front end of the base. For this purpose, the base 63 and this end have through-holes for the fastening means, which are designated respectively by the references 65 and 66. figure 5 still shows a part 68 called a firing pin which is fixed on the base, extends through a slot 70 formed in the upper surface of the convex portion of the handle body and has in its free end recesses 72 of establishment. a handle locking padlock in its closed position. A bracket 74 also extends through this slot, parallel to the shooting lug.

La figure 16 montre plus en détail le capot 9 de la poignée et ses composants constitutifs.The figure 16 shows in more detail the cover 9 of the handle and its constituent components.

Ainsi le couvercle comprend un élément supérieur 76 en forme d'un U et, à associer à chaque branche un élément longitudinal rapporté 77, chacun destiné à être fixé sur une branche 78 de l'élément 76 à l'aide par exemple de goupilles de fixation 79. Le pivotement du capot se fait à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel 81.Thus the cover comprises an upper element 76 in the form of a U and, to associate with each branch an attached longitudinal element 77, each intended to be fixed on a branch 78 of the element 76 using for example pins of 79. The pivoting of the hood is against a return spring 81.

Concernant le soudage des différentes parties constitutives de la poignée selon l'invention, décrit ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, il dépend du type d'application et du type d'utilisation de la part de l'opérateur. Toutefois, il peut être nécessaire dans certains cas particuliers, de renforcer ultérieurement la structure en ajoutant des cordons de soudure sur la patte de tir, de façon à éviter la flexion de l'élément. Par contre, il est également possible d'éviter certains soudages et/ou parties comme le renfort, si la structure n'est pas sollicitée et que l'intégrité structurelle de haute prestation n'est pas nécessaire. Par conséquent, le corps de poignée pourrait être réalisé sans renfort ou sans renfort, sans patte de tir et sans équerre de tir.Regarding the welding of the various constituent parts of the handle according to the invention, described above by way of example, it depends on the type of application and the type of use on the part of the operator. However, it may be necessary in some special cases to reinforce the structure later by adding cords welding on the shooting lug, so as to avoid bending of the element. On the other hand, it is also possible to avoid certain welds and / or parts such as the reinforcement, if the structure is not requested and the structural integrity of high performance is not necessary. Therefore, the handle body could be made without reinforcement or without reinforcement, without firing leg and without firing square.
