Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of safety barriers, intended to restrict children's access to certain rooms or certain dangerous areas, such as stairs. More specifically, the invention relates to such a child safety barrier with magnetic locking.
  • Such safety barriers generally comprise a frame that can be held in an opening (door, staircase, ...) by means of fixing pads, and a door mounted to move relative to the frame. This door can rotate relative to the frame with a system of hinges, or slide relative to the latter.
  • the frame is most often a U-shape, the two lateral uprights are equipped with fixing pads, mounted on a threaded rod, allowing a fine adjustment of the width of the barrier to the width of the opening to be closed.
  • Some of these barriers may also be equipped with extensions, of different sizes, for wider width adjustments.
  • barriers are equipped with automatic locking systems, ensuring that the door is locked systematically in the closed position, after any passage of an adult, without the risk that the door remains unintentionally ajar. Such barriers are then called “auto-close” barriers.
  • Known automatic locking systems generally comprise a horizontal latch, mounted on a spring, provided in a handle provided on the movable door, and cooperating with a recess arranged in a receiving part arranged in concordance on the frame of the barrier.
  • the latch comes into contact with a guide zone provided on the receiving part, which causes its withdrawal inside the handle; it is then pushed back into the recess by the return force of the spring.
  • a guide zone is for example in the form of an inclined surface pan, guiding the latch to the recess in the frame.
  • the latch then rests on the guide zone, but the door does not lock, so that a child can easily open it by simply pulling on the door. In addition, in this case, the adult does not necessarily notice that the door is badly locked.
  • Such a security barrier is described in particular in the patent document EP 1 668 216 , which has a child safety barrier equipped with a locking device, which can also be activated or deactivated without any manual manipulation or at the foot of the barrier, by means of an electrical signal.
  • the frame of the barrier accommodates a sliding column, on which is mounted a locking housing, cooperating with a locking latch disposed on the pivoting part (ie the door) of the barrier.
  • the locking housing further accommodates, in its lower part, a magnet for holding the locking latch in the locked position.
  • the locking housing has an inclined face. When an electrical voltage is applied, the sliding column moves upwards, the locking latch is then released from the action of the magnet and slides on the inclined section of the locking housing, thus allowing the opening of the door.
  • the latch latch slides on the inclined face to enter the locking housing, in which it is attracted by the magnet, allowing the locking of the barrier in the closed position.
  • Patent document is also known US 2011/225890 a child safety barrier, the opening of which is operated by a pedal and whose locking is magnetic type.
  • the opening of this type of barrier is therefore at the foot, according to a mechanism that is difficult to adapt to manually operated safety barriers.
  • the invention responds to this need by providing a child safety barrier comprising a frame and a door movable relative to said frame.
  • the door comprises a locking device adapted to move the door from a closed position to an open position, and vice versa, relative to the frame.
  • the locking device comprises a locking pawl movable between a retracted position and an extended position, in which it is adapted to cooperate with a locking recess in the frame in which it is inserted when the door is locked in the closed position.
  • such a locking device comprises a first magnet adapted to hold the locking pawl in the retracted position when the door is in the open position.
  • the frame comprises, near said locking housing, a second magnet more powerful than said first magnet, adapted to pass the locking pawl from the retracted position to the extended position when the locking pawl is substantially screwed. to the lock slot.
  • the locking device comprises a safety button and an unlocking lever, the successive actuation of which moves the locking pawl from the extended position to the retracted position.
  • the invention is based on a completely new and inventive approach to child safety barriers. Indeed, the invention provides a clever magnetic locking mechanism, which provides a reliable locking and Systematic door in all circumstances, without the risk that the door remains unintentionally ajar without the adult noticing.
  • such a safety barrier comprises two magnets, including a first magnet, located in the locking device, which keeps the locking pawl in the retracted position, as soon as an adult has actuated the device in order to open the door, and until complete lock of the latter.
  • a first magnet located in the locking device, which keeps the locking pawl in the retracted position, as soon as an adult has actuated the device in order to open the door, and until complete lock of the latter.
  • the locking pawl does not protrude from the door, so that there is no risk that it comes to rest on the door frame during the slow closing of the door, without come and plug in the lock slot.
  • the adult does not need to maintain any pressure on the locking device, to maintain the locking pawl in this retracted position. Manual manipulations are reduced.
  • a second, more powerful magnet is provided in the door frame.
  • this pawl is attracted by this second, more powerful magnet, and thus automatically moves to the deployed position, in which the door is thus locked in the closed position.
  • the safety button is movable between a rest position and an actuating position, the safety button in the rest position being able to prevent any movement of the unlocking lever.
  • such a safety barrier advantageously has a double-actuated unlocking system, which allows the unlocking of the door only if a safety button, located for example on the upper part of the device or the handle, is actuated, for example lowered, before the unlocking lever, for example on the lower part of the handle, is in turn actuated.
  • Such a dual actuation system is particularly advantageous in terms of safety, because it prevents a child can unlock the door. Indeed, the door unlocks in response to the subsequent actuation, and in this order, the safety button, and the unlocking lever.
  • the unlocking lever can be in turn actuated to move from a rest position to an actuating position.
  • the successive actuation of the safety button and the release lever makes it possible to move the locking pawl from its extended position to its retracted position.
  • the door is thus released from the frame, and can rotate to open. Handling the barrier is therefore particularly simple for the user, who has only to push the door, and can be operated with one hand.
  • the barrier of the present invention thus combines the advantages of simplicity of handling the barriers with two control buttons (as opposed to barriers whose handling combines a single safety button combined with a vertical lifting of the door) to the safety and security advantages. locking reliability in the closed position of the barriers called "auto close”.
  • the unlocking lever has an inclined surface pan cooperating with a corresponding bearing surface of the locking pawl. Moving the unlocking lever from its rest position to its actuated position causes the locking pawl to move from the extended position to the retracted position by relative sliding of the inclined surface and the bearing surface.
  • the relative shapes of the unlocking lever and the locking pawl allow the automatic retraction of the latter in the locking device. It is then automatically maintained in the retracted position under the effect of the attractive force exerted by the first magnet.
  • such a locking device comprises a return spring of the lever for unlocking its actuating position to its rest position.
  • such a locking device comprises a return spring of the safety button from its operating position to its rest position, so that the safety button automatically returns to the rest position, as soon as the user releases the pressure he exerts on him.
  • the door is pivotable relative to the frame.
  • a locking device could of course also be installed on a sliding door relative to the frame.
  • the first magnet is fixed on the locking pawl.
  • the first magnet moves with the pawl, between a retracted position in which it exerts a force of attraction on a metal part of the locking device, and an extended position, in which it undergoes the attraction force of the second magnet located in or near the interlocking housing in the frame.
  • the locking pawl is held in the retracted position under the effect of the attraction force exerted by the first magnet on said return spring and / or on a support for fixing said spring.
  • the properties of the return spring and / or its fixing support made of ferrous metal material, which is attracted by the first magnet located on the locking pawl, to hold the latter in the retracted position.
  • Such an embodiment therefore has a small number of parts.
  • the first magnet may be fixed in the locking device, and exert an attractive force on a ferrous metal portion of the locking pawl.
  • the locking device comprises a third magnet intended to reinforce the holding of said locking pawl in the retracted position by the first magnet.
  • the adult user of the barrier can directly check the correct locking of the barrier, by means of a simple visual indicator located on the locking device or the handle of the door.
  • the general principle of the invention is based on a clever magnetic locking system of a child safety barrier, based on two magnets, allowing, on the one hand, to maintain a locking pawl in the retracted position to the complete closure of the door, under the action of a first magnet, and secondly to automatically lock the door in the closed position, under the action of a second magnet more powerful.
  • a child safety barrier in a particular embodiment of the invention.
  • Such a barrier conventionally comprises a U-shaped frame referenced 1, comprising a threshold bar 10 and two lateral uprights 11 and 12, and a door referenced 2 pivoting relative to the frame 1 between a closed position and an open position.
  • the door and the frame are for example made of tubular metal materials.
  • the U-shaped frame referenced 1 is further provided with extensions referenced 3 and 4, on either side of the frame, allowing to adapt the width of the barrier to the width of the opening that is to be closed.
  • extensions are optional.
  • the door 2 On its upper part, the door 2 is equipped with a handle 20, comprising a locking device, which can be better observed on the Figures 2A and 2B .
  • Such a handle 20 cooperates with a corresponding part referenced 21 disposed on the upper part of the lateral upright 12 of the frame 1.
  • a handle is equipped with a double-action unlocking system, comprising a safety button 22 located on the upper part of the handle and an unlocking lever 23 located on its lower part.
  • a double-action unlocking system comprising a safety button 22 located on the upper part of the handle and an unlocking lever 23 located on its lower part.
  • the safety button 22 and the unlocking lever 23 are both in the rest position, and the door 2 is locked in the closed position relative to the frame 1.
  • a visual indicator 24, for example showing a closed lock on a green background confirms to the user that the door is properly locked in the closed position relative to the frame.
  • the safety button 22 and the unlocking lever 23 are both in the actuating position, and the door 2 is in the open position relative to the frame 1. Indeed, the safety button 22 has been lowered relative to the Figure 2A , and the unlocking lever 23 has been actuated upwards.
  • actuating position is meant here the position of the buttons and lever when the user presses it. Indeed, from the moment the user releases the button 22 and the lever 23, they automatically return to their rest position under the effect of springs, as described later in this document.
  • FIGs 3A and 3B more clearly show the locking device located in the handle 20.
  • the door 2 is locked in the closed position relative to the frame 1.
  • the locking device has been actuated by the user, to open the door, which is no longer locked relative to the frame, and can freely rotate. It will be noted that this figure 3B corresponds to the position of the button 22 and the lever 23 when the user maintains a pressure on these elements.
  • the safety button 22 is in the high rest position. It can pivot about the axis 36, to lower in the actuated position, as illustrated on the figure 3B .
  • its lower end 37 bears on an upper surface 38 of the unlocking lever 23. This contact of the facing surfaces referenced 37 and 38 then prevents any movement of the unlocking lever 23. , which is locked in a low rest position, as shown in figure 3A .
  • the safety button 22 When a user actuates the safety button 22, the latter pivots around the axis 36 and releases the unlocking lever 23, by relative sliding of the inclined surfaces facing each other referenced 37 and 38. The user can then exerting pressure on the unlocking lever 23, to move it from its low rest position ( figure 3A ) at its high operating position ( figure 3B ).
  • a referenced return spring 30 is furthermore secured to a fixing support referenced 31, and makes it possible to automatically recall the unlocking lever referenced 23, from its actuating position ( figure 3B ) to its rest position ( figure 3A ). Similarly, a return spring (not shown) can recall the safety button from its operating position to its rest position.
  • the unlocking lever 23 also has a sloped inclined surface 39 referenced. During the passage of this lever 23 from its rest position to its actuated position, this inclined surface pan 39 slides along a surface of corresponding support referenced 40 of a locking pawl referenced 34.
  • Such locking pawl 34 can assume an extended position, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3A , on which this pawl 34 is inserted into a locking recess 35 formed in the upper part 21 of the frame 1. It can also take a retracted position, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3B , in which he is fully housed in the locking device, and therefore does not protrude from the handle 20.
  • a first magnet referenced 32 is fixed on the lower part of the locking pawl 34.
  • this first magnet 32 exerts a magnetic attraction force on the return spring 30 and / or on its metal fixing support 31, so that the locking pawl 34 is held in the retracted position, without the user having to make any pressure action on one or other of the elements of the handle.
  • the user only has to pull the door 2 to rotate it and open it.
  • the locking pawl 34 being held in the retracted position under the effect of the first magnet 32, there is no risk that the door 2 does not reach its full closed position.
  • the locking pawl 34 is thus found opposite the locking recess 35.
  • the first magnet 32 is subjected to the magnetic attraction force of a second more powerful magnet referenced 33.
  • a second magnet 33 is located in or near the locking housing 35.
  • the figure 4 presents a perspective view of the locking device of the figure 3A , in which the first magnet 32 is larger than on the figure 3A , so as to ensure a better function of locking the barrier in the closed position, and maintaining the locking pawl in the retracted position when the door is open.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B show another embodiment of the locking device of Figures 3A and 3B .
  • the same elements are designated by the same numerical references as on the Figures 3A and 3B .
  • This second embodiment differs from that of Figures 3A and 3B in that the first magnet, which holds the locking pawl 34 in the retracted position, is not fixed on the latter, but is arranged at the bottom of a receiving housing 53 formed in the locking device.
  • the locking pawl 34 has at its right end on the Figures 5A and 5B a ferrous metal portion 51, which undergoes the force of attraction of the first magnet referenced 52. The locking pawl is then held in the retracted position ( Figure 5B ).
  • the locking pawl 34 also has at its opposite end another ferrous metal portion 50 (in place of the magnet referenced 32 Figures 3A and 3B ), which undergoes the attraction of the second most powerful magnet 33 when the pawl is in the deployed position.
  • the Figure 6B is a sectional AA view of the Figure 6C .
  • the Figure 6A is a sectional view BB of the Figure 6B .
  • the figure 6E is a corresponding perspective view.
  • the Figure 6B illustrates the threshold bar 10 of the frame 1, as well as the lower transverse amount 14 of the door 2, and the fixing area by pivot connection about the axis referenced 61 of this door 2 on the threshold bar 10.
  • a prestressed compression spring referenced 60 is inserted into the lower transverse amount 14 of the door 2. It has, at its end farthest from the axis of rotation 61, a pusher 62, to which is fixed a fixed length cable referenced 67 at its end 63. At its other end, this cable referenced 67 passes through a coil 64 shaped curved C, and is fixed thereto in a fastening zone referenced 65.
  • the cover 671 secured to the amount 14 of the door, pivots around the coil 64, the latter being held in a fixed position by the fastening tabs 66 enclosing the threshold bar 10 of the frame 1.
  • the Figure 6D illustrates this mechanism when the door 2 has rotated 90 ° (arrow referenced 68) relative to the Figure 6A .
  • the cable 67, attached to the coil 64 at its end 65, is no longer rectilinear, since it passes through the coil 64 which has not rotated with the door. It therefore operates a pull on the pusher 62 of the spring 60, to which it is fixed at its end 63.
  • the spring 60 is compressed when opening the door 2 (arrow referenced 69).
  • the spring 60 therefore seeks to return to its rest position of the Figure 6A and, in so doing, it recalls the door 2 in the closed position.
