- the partition 8 comprises two indentations 16a , 16b spaced apart from each other, located near the upper end 18 of the partition. 8 , that is to say near the upper wall 3 of the body 2 and the opening 9.
- the upper end 18 of the partition 8 further comprises at least one notch 19 , here three notches 19 offset from each other along the upper end 18 of the partition 8.
- the lock 1 further comprises a locking member 20 , illustrated in particular on FIG. 7 , comprising a bearing portion 21 and a locking portion 22.
- the bearing portion 21 is formed by a flank extending in a plane perpendicular to the X axis and is housed in the distal portion 7b of the internal volume 7 , between the bottom wall 6 and the partition 8.
- the shape of the sidewall 21 is adapted to the section of the internal volume 7 so as to allow sliding along the Y axis of the bearing part 21 in the distal part 7b of the internal volume 7.
- the locking part 22 is formed of at least one tooth 23 , here three teeth 23 , extending along the X axis from the upper end of the bearing part 21.

- Each actuation pad 34a , 34b has a section defined by that of the footprint 16a, 16b, so as to be able to pass through the footprint 16a , 16b by insertion along the X axis of the actuation part 31 in the volume internal 7 of the body 2.
- Each stud 34a , 34b has one end 35 connected to the rim, near the free edge of the rim 33.
- the free edge of the rim 33 further comprises at least one notch 36 , here three notches 36 , of which the sections and positions correspond to those of the teeth 23 of the locking member 20.
- the lock 1 is mounted in a housing of the socket such that the tongue 11 , in particular the first branch 12 and / or the second branch 13 of the tongue 11 snap onto a stop of complementary shape of the catch.
- the tongue 11 is elastic and its elasticity tends to return it to its locking position.
- the lock 1 is thus locked in the socket, as long as the tongue 11 is not deformed towards its unlocked position, by pressing a user on the second branch 13.
- the body 2 may have recessed or projecting zones 37 , 38 , able to cooperate with zones of complementary shapes of the socket.
- a user If a user has the correct key 29 , he can insert it along the X axis into the proximal part 7a of the internal volume 7 of the body 2 , as illustrated in FIG.9 and FIG.10 , so that the actuating studs 34 a, 34 b pass through the partition 8 , more particularly the indentations 16 a, 16 b of the partition 8 and come to bear on the bearing portion 21 of the locking member 20 . Furthermore, upon insertion of the key 29, the teeth 23 of the locking member 20 pass through the notches 36 in the rim 33 of the key 29.
- the locking member 20 can then be pushed back towards the bottom wall 6 by the actuation pads 34 a, 34 b of the key 29 , against the return force exerted by the elastic members 25. Thus , during the insertion of the key 29 , the locking member 20 is moved to its unlocked position.
- the flat part 32 of the support 30 can rest on the lower wall 4 of the body 2 and the rim 33 of the support 30 can rest on the partition 8 , so as to release a sufficient volume in the proximal part. 7a of internal volume 7.
- the user can then press on the second branch 13 of the tongue 11 , while maintaining the key 29 in the depressed position, so that the third branch 14 and the protection member 26 can penetrate into the part of the internal volume 7 left free by the support 30 of the key 29.
- the tab 11 can be deformed freely towards its unlocking position, so as to release the lock 1 which can then be removed from the socket.
- the protective member 26 prevents an unauthorized user from moving the locking member 20 by pressing on the locking part 22 using an object inserted into the body 2 , from the opening of access 9 for the introduction of the key 29 , with a view to actuating the locking member 20. Such an actuation is all the more difficult as the free ends 24 of the teeth 23 are tapered.
- the protection member 26 also serves as an interface between the tongue 11 and the locking member 20 so as to limit friction when using the lock 1.
- the position of the imprints 16a , 16b near the upper end 18 of the partition 8 makes it possible to increase the security of the lock 1. Indeed, if an unauthorized user tries to cross one of the imprints 16a , 16b of the partition 8 using a needle for example, to press on the bearing part 21 of the locking member 20 , then the needle thus inserted blocks the introduction of the protective member 26 and of the third branch 14 of the tongue 11 in the proximal part 7a of the internal volume 7 of the body 2. The tongue 11 is thus held in the locked position.
- indentations 16a , 16b of different shapes between different locks 1 as well as combinations between indentations 16a , 16b and actuating pads 34a , 34b of the keys 29 used, so as to limit access to the different outlets depending on the user.
- a first cavity 16a may be intended to cooperate with the actuation pad of a so-called unique key, allowing a single lock 1 to be unlocked, a second cavity 16b allowing the unlocking of the lock 1 using a so-called universal or multiple key, enabling several locks 1 to be unlocked using the same universal key.

Description
La présente invention concerne un verrou destiné au verrouillage d'une prise d'un réseau électrique et/ou de télécommunication.The present invention relates to a lock intended for locking a socket of an electrical and / or telecommunications network.
Afin de sécuriser l'accès à un réseau électrique et/ou de télécommunication, il peut être nécessaire d'empêcher le raccordement non autorisé d'un câble sur l'une des prises du réseau.In order to secure access to an electrical and / or telecommunications network, it may be necessary to prevent the unauthorized connection of a cable to one of the network sockets.
Une solution connue du document
Un tel verrou présente les inconvénients suivants.Such a lock has the following drawbacks.
Tout d'abord, la solution proposée utilise généralement l'emploi d'une même clé universelle pour tous les verrous de ce type. Ainsi, un utilisateur qui dispose de la clé universelle peut avoir accès à l'ensemble des prises protégées par ces verrous.First of all, the proposed solution generally uses the use of the same universal key for all the locks of this type. Thus, a user who has the universal key can have access to all the outlets protected by these locks.
On notera que la clé utilisée doit pouvoir à la fois traverser l'empreinte mais également tourner au sein du verrou, ce qui limite fortement l'utilisation de formes spécifiques pour la clé, et donc également pour l'empreinte.It will be noted that the key used must be able both to pass through the imprint but also to rotate within the lock, which greatly limits the use of specific shapes for the key, and therefore also for the imprint.
En effet, il serait préférable de pouvoir autoriser l'accès à un nombre restreint de verrous, voire à un seul verrou, à l'aide d'une même clé, plusieurs clés étant alors nécessaires pour accéder à l'ensemble des verrous.Indeed, it would be preferable to be able to authorize access to a small number of locks, or even to a single lock, using the same key, several keys then being necessary to access all of the locks.
Par ailleurs, la déformation de la languette par pivotement de la clé génère des frottements et des contraintes mécaniques importantes. Un tel verrou est généralement réalisé en matériau synthétique et a tendance à se dégrader rapidement en cas d'utilisation intensive de ces verrous.Furthermore, the deformation of the tongue by pivoting of the key generates significant friction and mechanical stresses. Such a lock is generally made of synthetic material and has a tendency to degrade quickly in the event of intensive use of these locks.
L'invention a notamment pour but d'apporter une solution simple, efficace et économique à ces problèmes.The object of the invention is in particular to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to these problems.
A cet effet, elle propose un verrou destiné au verrouillage d'une prise d'un réseau électrique et/ou de télécommunication comportant
- Un corps destiné à être inséré dans un logement de la prise, le corps comportant au moins une empreinte destinée à correspondre à la forme d'une clé,
- Une languette mobile par rapport au corps entre une position de verrouillage, dans laquelle elle est apte à bloquer le corps dans le logement de la prise, et une position de déverrouillage, dans laquelle elle autorise le retrait du corps hors dudit logement,
- A body intended to be inserted into a housing of the socket, the body comprising at least one indentation intended to correspond to the shape of a key,
- A tongue movable relative to the body between a locking position, in which it is able to block the body in the receptacle housing, and an unlocking position, in which it allows the body to be withdrawn from said housing,
De cette manière, le verrou peut être déverrouillé par simple introduction en translation de la clé spécifique dans l'empreinte correspondante. On réduit ainsi les contraintes mécaniques et les frottements lors de l'utilisation du verrou, de façon à améliorer sensiblement sa durée de vie.In this way, the lock can be unlocked by simple translation of the specific key into the corresponding cavity. This reduces the mechanical stresses and friction during use of the lock, so as to significantly improve its service life.
Par ailleurs, il est aisément possible de définir des empreintes de formes différentes entre différents verrous, ainsi que des combinaisons spécifiques entre les empreintes et les clés utilisées, de façon à limiter l'accès aux différentes prises en fonction des utilisateurs. Ceci est notamment rendu possible par le fait que la clé est seulement déplacée en translation pour déplacer l'organe de verrouillage et déverrouiller la languette, en non en translation et en rotation comme dans le cas de l'art antérieur.Furthermore, it is easily possible to define imprints of different shapes between different locks, as well as specific combinations between the imprints and the keys used, so as to limit access to the different sockets according to the users. This is made possible in particular by the fact that the key is only moved in translation to move the locking member and unlock the tongue, not in translation and in rotation as in the case of the prior art.
Le verrou peut comporter des moyens de rappel élastique aptes à rappeler l'organe de verrouillage vers sa position de blocage.The lock may include elastic return means capable of returning the locking member to its locking position.
De cette manière, le verrou est automatiquement verrouillé après mise en place dans la prise et/ou après retrait de la clé.In this way, the lock is automatically locked after insertion in the socket and / or after removal of the key.
Le corps peut être creux et peut délimiter un volume interne comportant une partie proximale ouverte, de façon à permettre l'introduction de la clé, et une partie distale, séparées l'une de l'autre par une cloison dans laquelle est formée l'empreinte, l'organe de verrouillage comportant une partie d'appui située en regard de l'empreinte, destinée à l'appui de la clé, l'organe de verrouillage comportant en outre une partie de blocage, la languette étant apte à venir en appui sur la partie de blocage lorsque l'organe de verrouillage est dans sa position de blocage.The body can be hollow and can delimit an internal volume comprising an open proximal part, so as to allow the introduction of the key, and a distal part, separated from each other by a partition in which is formed the indentation, the locking member comprising a bearing part situated opposite the indentation, intended to support the key, the locking member further comprising a locking part, the tongue being able to come into contact with the key. support on the locking part when the locking member is in its locking position.
Ainsi, lors de l'introduction de la clé, celle-ci traverse la cloison de façon à actionner l'organe de verrouillage, celui-ci étant alors déplacé vers sa position de libération.Thus, during the introduction of the key, the latter passes through the partition so as to actuate the locking member, the latter then being moved to its release position.
La partie d'appui de l'organe de verrouillage peut être située dans la partie distale du volume interne, la partie de blocage s'étendant, au moins en partie, dans la partie proximale dudit volume interne.The bearing part of the locking member may be located in the distal part of the internal volume, the locking part extending, at least in part, in the proximal part of said internal volume.
Ainsi, du fait de la présence de la cloison venant empêcher l'accès à la partie d'appui de l'organe de verrouillage, le déplacement de l'organe de verrouillage est rendu très difficile pour un utilisateur non autorisé ne disposant pas de la clé.Thus, due to the presence of the partition preventing access to the bearing part of the locking member, the movement of the locking member is made very difficult for an unauthorized user who does not have the key.
Le corps peut s'étendre suivant un axe correspondant à la direction d'introduction de la clé, l'organe de verrouillage étant apte à se déplacer en translation suivant le axe.The body can extend along an axis corresponding to the direction of introduction of the key, the locking member being able to move in translation along the axis.
La partie d'appui de l'organe de verrouillage peut s'étendre perpendiculairement à l'axe, la partie de blocage s'étendant axialement.The bearing portion of the locking member may extend perpendicular to the axis, the locking portion extending axially.
La languette peut comporter une première extrémité reliée au corps et une seconde extrémité libre, la seconde extrémité étant située hors du volume interne du corps en position de verrouillage, la seconde extrémité étant apte à traverser une ouverture du corps de façon à s'étendre, au moins en partie, dans le volume interne du corps, en position de déverrouillage.The tongue may have a first end connected to the body and a second free end, the second end being located outside the internal volume of the body in the locking position, the second end being able to pass through an opening of the body so as to extend, at least in part, in the internal volume of the body, in the unlocked position.
L'organe de verrouillage peut s'étendre en regard de l'ouverture du corps, en position de blocage, l'organe de verrouillage étant écarté de l'ouverture, au moins en partie, en position de libération.The locking member may extend opposite the opening of the body, in the locking position, the locking member being spaced from the opening, at least in part, in the released position.
Ainsi, l'organe de verrouillage empêche la seconde extrémité de la languette de pénétrer dans le volume interne du corps en position de blocage, maintenant la languette en position de verrouillage. A l'inverse, lorsque l'organe de verrouillage est écarté, au moins en partie, de l'ouverture du corps, la seconde extrémité de la languette peut pénétrer dans l'espace interne du corps de façon à se trouver en position de déverrouillage et autoriser le retrait du verrou hors de la prise.Thus, the locking member prevents the second end of the tongue from entering the internal volume of the body in the locking position, keeping the tongue in the locking position. Conversely, when the locking member is moved away, at least by part of the opening of the body, the second end of the tongue can penetrate into the internal space of the body so as to be in the unlocked position and allow the lock to be withdrawn from the socket.
Le verrou peut comporter un organe de protection situé entre la seconde extrémité de la languette et l'organe de verrouillage, l'organe de protection étant apte à être déplacé avec la seconde extrémité de la languette, l'organe de protection s'étendant à l'intérieur du volume interne du corps, au moins une partie de l'organe de protection étant situé axialement en regard de la partie de blocage de l'organe de verrouillage.The lock may include a protective member located between the second end of the tongue and the locking member, the protective member being able to be moved with the second end of the tongue, the protective member extending to inside the internal volume of the body, at least part of the protection member being located axially opposite the locking part of the locking member.
De cette manière, l'organe de protection empêche un utilisateur non autorisé de déplacer l'organe de verrouillage par appui sur la partie de blocage à l'aide d'un objet inséré dans le corps, depuis l'accès servant à l'introduction de la clé. L'organe de protection peut également servir d'interface entre la languette et l'organe de verrouillage de manière à limiter les frottements lors de l'utilisation du verrou.In this way, the protection member prevents an unauthorized user from moving the locking member by pressing on the locking part with the aid of an object inserted into the body, from the access used for the introduction. of the key. The protection member can also serve as an interface between the tongue and the locking member so as to limit friction during use of the lock.
L'organe de protection peut être en matériau souple, par exemple en matériau élastomère.The protective member may be made of flexible material, for example of elastomeric material.
De cette manière, l'organe de protection ne gêne pas l'actionnement de la languette, un effort limité permettant d'actionner la languette afin de la déplacer vers sa position de déverrouillage.In this way, the protection member does not interfere with the actuation of the tongue, a limited force making it possible to actuate the tongue in order to move it towards its unlocked position.
Le verrou selon l'invention peut également comporter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :
- la languette mobile est élastiquement déformable,
- les moyens de rappel élastique comportent au moins un ressort de compression, par exemple un ressort de compression hélicoïdal,
- la partie de blocage de l'organe de verrouillage comporte des dents ou des plots s'étendant axialement et traversant la cloison,
- la cloison comporte une extrémité dite supérieure, située du côté de l'ouverture du corps permettant le passage de la seconde extrémité de la languette, et une extrémité opposée dite inférieure, la partie de blocage traversant la cloison au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure,
- l'empreinte est formée à proximité de l'extrémité supérieure de la cloison. De cette manière, si un utilisateur non autorisé tente de traverser l'empreinte de la cloison à l'aide d'une aiguille par exemple, pour appuyer sur la partie d'appui de l'organe de verrouillage, alors l'aiguille ainsi insérée bloque l'introduction de la languette dans le volume interne du corps, de sorte que cette dernière est maintenue en position verrouillée.
- the movable tongue is elastically deformable,
- the elastic return means comprise at least one compression spring, for example a helical compression spring,
- the locking part of the locking member comprises teeth or studs extending axially and passing through the partition,
- the partition comprises a so-called upper end, located on the side of the opening of the body allowing the passage of the second end of the tongue, and an opposite so-called lower end, the locking part passing through the partition at the level of the upper end,
- the indentation is formed near the upper end of the septum. In this way, if an unauthorized user tries to cross the impression of the partition using a needle for example, to press on the bearing part of the locking member, then the needle thus inserted blocks the introduction of the tongue into the internal volume of the body, so that the latter is held in the locked position.
L'invention peut également concerner un ensemble comportant un verrou du type précité, et une clé comportant au moins un plot d'actionnement de section correspondante à l'empreinte du verrou, de manière à permettre une introduction de la clé en translation dans le volume interne du corps et un actionnement de l'organe de verrouillage par le plot d'actionnement, au travers de l'empreinte.The invention may also relate to an assembly comprising a lock of the aforementioned type, and a key comprising at least one actuation pad of section corresponding to the imprint of the lock, so as to allow the key to be introduced in translation into the volume. internal body and actuation of the locking member by the actuation pad, through the cavity.
La clé peut comporter un support comprenant une première partie plane et une seconde partie s'étendant perpendiculairement à la première partie, le plot d'actionnement étant fixé à la seconde partie et étant décalé par rapport à la première partie.The key may include a support comprising a first flat part and a second part extending perpendicularly to the first part, the actuation pad being fixed to the second part and being offset with respect to the first part.
Lorsque la clé est introduite dans le corps du verrou, la forme précitée du support permet de dégager un volume suffisant dans le corps pour permettre une introduction d'une partie de la languette dans le volume interne du corps, et permettre ainsi un déplacement de la languette vers sa position déverrouillée.

Les dessins illustrent un verrou 1 destiné au verrouillage d'une prise (non représentée) d'un réseau électrique et/ou de télécommunication, par exemple une prise de type RJ45, selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention.The drawings illustrate a
Le verrou 1 comporte un verrou 1 creux, par exemple de forme générale parallélépipédique, s'étendant selon un axe X. The
Le corps 2 comporte une paroi supérieure 3 et une paroi inférieure 4 reliées par deux parois latérales 5 et par une paroi de fond 6. Le corps 2 délimite ainsi un volume interne 7 comprenant une partie proximale 7a ouverte et une partie distale 7b opposée, fermée par la paroi de fond 6. La partie proximale 7a et la partie distale 7b sont séparées l'une de l'autre par une cloison 8. La cloison 8 est formée ici par une pièce distincte du corps 2, fixée audit corps 2. La partie proximale débouche axialement par une ouverture d'accès 9. The body 2 comprises an
La paroi supérieure 3 du corps 2 comporte une ouverture 10, par exemple une ouverture 9 de forme générale carrée ou rectangulaire, débouchant dans la partie proximale 7a du volume interne 7. The
La paroi supérieure 3 est munie d'une languette 11 élastiquement déformable venant de matière avec le reste du corps 2. En variante, la languette 11 peut être formée par une pièce distincte, fixée au corps 2. The
La languette 11 comporte une forme générale de Y, comportant une première branche 12 dont une extrémité est reliée à l'extrémité distale de la paroi supérieure 3, une seconde branche 13 s'étendant de façon oblique par rapport à l'axe X, à l'opposé de la paroi supérieure 3, et une troisième branche 14 s'étendant également de façon oblique, en direction de l'ouverture 9 de la paroi supérieure 3. En particulier, l'extrémité libre 15 de la troisième branche 14 est apte à pénétrer dans le volume interne 7 du corps 2, au travers de l'ouverture 9, en cas de déformation de la languette 11. The
Comme cela est mieux visible à la
L'extrémité supérieure 18 de la cloison 8 comporte en outre au moins une encoche 19, ici trois encoches 19 décalées les unes des autres le long de l'extrémité supérieure 18 de la cloison 8. The
Le verrou 1 comporte en outre un organe de verrouillage 20, illustré notamment à la
La partie de blocage 22 est formée d'au moins une dent 23, ici trois dents 23, s'étendant selon l'axe X depuis l'extrémité supérieure de la partie d'appui 21. Chaque dent 23 traverse l'une des encoches 19 de la cloison 8 de façon à permettre un coulissement des dents 23 au travers des encoches 19, en cas de déplacement de l'organe de verrouillage 20 selon l'axe X. Les extrémités libres 24 des dents 23 sont effilées.The locking part 22 is formed of at least one
Au moins un organe élastique 25 (
L'organe de verrouillage 20 est ainsi mobile entre une position de blocage, illustrée aux
Les organes élastiques 25 permettent de rappeler l'organe de verrouillage 20 vers sa position de blocage.The
Un organe de protection 26 se présentant sous la forme d'une lamelle souple en matériau élastomère par exemple, est monté dans l'ouverture 10, entre la troisième branche 14 de la languette 11 et les dents 23 de l'organe de verrouillage 20. A
L'extrémité proximale 27 de l'organe de protection 26 est inclinée vers le bas, c'est-à-dire est logée dans la partie proximale 7a du volume interne 7 du corps 2, en regard axialement des dents 23. En d'autres termes, l'organe de protection 26 empêche l'accès aux dents 23, dans la direction axiale, depuis l'ouverture d'accès 9 au volume interne 7 du corps 2 située au niveau de l'extrémité proximale dudit corps 2. The
L'organe de protection 26 est souple et est apte à être déformé facilement, en fonction de la position de la languette 11. The
Le verrou 1 est apte à fonctionner à l'aide d'une clé 29, illustrée notamment à la
Le support 30 comporte une partie plane 32 dont une extrémité comporte un rebord 33 s'étendant perpendiculairement à la partie plane 32. La partie plane 32 sert de moyen de préhension pour un utilisateur.The support 30 comprises a flat part 32 , one end of which has a
La partie d'actionnement 31 comporte au moins un plot d'actionnement 34, ici deux plots d'actionnement 34a, 34b. Chaque plot d'actionnement 34a, 34b a une section définie par celle de l'empreinte 16a, 16b, de façon à pouvoir traverser l'empreinte 16a, 16b par insertion selon l'axe X de la partie d'actionnement 31 dans le volume interne 7 du corps 2. Chaque plot 34a, 34b comporte une extrémité 35 reliée au rebord, à proximité du bord libre du rebord 33. Le bord libre du rebord 33 comporte en outre au moins une encoche 36, ici trois encoches 36, dont les sections et les positions correspondent à celles des dents 23 de l'organe de verrouillage 20. The
En fonctionnement, le verrou 1 est monté dans un logement de la prise de telle sorte que la languette 11, en particulier la première branche 12 et/ou la seconde branche 13 de la languette 11 viennent s'encliqueter sur une butée de forme complémentaire de la prise. La languette 11 est élastique et son élasticité tend à la rappeler vers sa position de verrouillage.In operation, the
Le verrou 1 est ainsi verrouillé dans la prise, tant que la languette 11 n'est pas déformée vers sa position de déverrouillage, par appui d'un utilisateur sur la seconde branche 13. The
Indépendamment de l'invention, le corps 2 peut présenter des zones en creux ou en saillie 37, 38, aptes à coopérer avec des zones de formes complémentaires de la prise.Independently of the invention, the body 2 may have recessed or projecting
Comme illustré aux
Si un utilisateur dispose de la bonne clé 29, celui-ci peut l'introduire selon l'axe X dans la partie proximale 7a du volume interne 7 du corps 2, comme illustré aux
L'organe de verrouillage 20 peut alors être repoussé vers la paroi de fond 6 par les plots d'actionnement 34a, 34b de la clé 29, à l'encontre de l'effort de rappel exercé par les organes élastiques 25. Ainsi, lors de l'insertion de la clé 29, l'organe de verrouillage 20 est déplacé vers sa position déverrouillée.The locking member 20 can then be pushed back towards the
Dans cette position, la partie plane 32 du support 30 peut être en appui sur la paroi inférieure 4 du corps 2 et le rebord 33 du support 30 peut être en appui sur la cloison 8, de façon à dégager un volume suffisant dans la partie proximale 7a du volume interne 7. In this position, the flat part 32 of the support 30 can rest on the
Comme représenté aux
On remarque que l'organe de protection 26 empêche un utilisateur non autorisé de déplacer l'organe de verrouillage 20 par appui sur la partie de blocage 22 à l'aide d'un objet inséré dans le corps 2, depuis l'ouverture d'accès 9 servant à l'introduction de la clé 29, en vue d'actionner l'organe de verrouillage 20. Un tel actionnement est d'autant plus difficile que les extrémités libres 24 des dents 23 sont effilées. L'organe de protection 26 sert également d'interface entre la languette 11 et l'organe de verrouillage 20 de manière à limiter les frottements lors de l'utilisation du verrou 1. Note that the
Par ailleurs, la position des empreintes 16a, 16b à proximité de l'extrémité supérieure 18 de la cloison 8 permet d'augmenter la sécurité du verrou 1. En effet, si un utilisateur non autorisé tente de traverser l'une des empreintes 16a, 16b de la cloison 8 à l'aide d'une aiguille par exemple, pour appuyer sur la partie d'appui 21 de l'organe de verrouillage 20, alors l'aiguille ainsi insérée bloque l'introduction de l'organe de protection 26 et de la troisième branche 14 de la languette 11 dans la partie proximale 7a du volume interne 7 du corps 2. La languette 11 est ainsi maintenue en position verrouillée.Furthermore, the position of the
Comme indiqué précédemment, il est aisément possible de définir des empreintes 16a, 16b de formes différentes entre différents verrous 1, ainsi que des combinaisons entre les empreintes 16a, 16b et les plots d'actionnement 34a, 34b des clés 29 utilisées, de façon à limiter l'accès aux différentes prises en fonction des utilisateurs.As indicated above, it is easily possible to define
Selon une variante de réalisation, une première empreinte 16a peut être destinée à coopérer avec le plot d'actionnement d'une clé dite unique, permettant de déverrouiller un seul verrou 1, une seconde empreinte 16b permettant le déverrouillage du verrou 1 à l'aide d'une clé dite universelle ou multiple, permettant de déverrouiller plusieurs verrous 1 à l'aide d'une même clé universelle.According to an alternative embodiment, a
