- the present invention relates to an ax usable by a member of the emergency services such as the fire service.
- a portable ax with dimensions comparable to that of a hammer is part of the standard equipment for firefighters.
- the ax is used to break or remove medium-sized obstacles.
- a heavier ax or hammer is often used to break the door. This way of proceeding induces significant damage which would be avoidable if less destructive techniques were applied, such as for example the use of specific means such as locksmith tools.
- Another disadvantage of this method is the risk of injury to the workers.
- the present invention aims to propose a solution which combines the advantages of existing solutions while avoiding the disadvantages.
- the present invention aims at a solution which allows the use of conventional locksmithing tools without weighing down the firefighters' equipment.
- the present invention relates to an ax according to any one of the attached claims.
- the ax allows each member of an intervention team to force and / or open a locked door in a very short time without causing significant damage.
- the ax shown in figure 1 comprises a handle 1 and an ax head 2 fixed to a first end 11 of the handle 1.
- the ax head 2 conventionally comprises a blade 3 which extends on the lateral side of the ax head, and a striking point 4 which extends on the opposite side.
- the distal face 20 (upper, shown in the figure 1 ) of the head 2 comprises a flat part 5 in which a cavity 6 has been machined.
- the cavity 6 is therefore open towards the outside of the distal face 20 of the ax head 2. It comprises a side wall and a bottom wall.
- the flat part 5 forms the upper level of the ax. This means that the flat part forms the highest level of the ax when it is held vertically with the ax head 2 above, the representation resumed at the figure 1 . In other words, there are no elements of the ax head 2 which exceed the level of the planar part 5. This characteristic allows the planar part 5 to be positioned in contact on its entire surface with a surface. exterior such as the surface of a door.
- the cavity 6 has a depth which is preferably constant over the entire section of the cavity so that the bottom wall is essentially parallel to the flat part 5.
- the side wall of the cavity corresponding to the periphery of the latter, is essentially perpendicular to the flat part 5.
- the periphery of the cavity 6 has the shape of the section of a lock cylinder.
- the cavity 6 may have a different shape, but its dimensions are such that a standardized lock cylinder can be inserted into the cavity 6, with minimal clearance between the cylinder and the side wall of the cavity 6.
- the cylinder of a lock used to lock a door is generally mounted such that at least on one of the two sides of the door, a portion of said cylinder extends (protrudes) out of the surface of the door.
- said cylinder part is protected by a plate called a rosette, which is fixed to the surface of the door.
- the cylinder can easily be released using the ax according to the invention. The user places the flat part 5 of the ax head 2 against the surface of the locked door, so that the cavity 6 covers the portion of cylinder which protrudes from the surface of the door.
- the depth of the cavity 6 is sufficient so that in the case of a lock installed in a standardized manner, the cylinder portion can enter enough into the cavity to allow the operator to disengage the cylinder without significant damage, by exerting pressure on the ax in the direction of the door and at the same time manipulating the ax from right to left with respect to the door, preferably in a plane essentially horizontal and perpendicular to the door. This will leave the door in good condition. Only the cylinder will have to be replaced, which will have less impact and in particular psychological impact on the people rescued.
- this key is directly cast with the handle.
- This tool is used to unlock a door provided with a cylinder lock in which the cylinder has been removed / removed. The presence of this tool incorporated in the ax allows the user to open in a very short time the door from which he has just released the cylinder using the cavity 6.
- the striking tip 4 of the ax of the invention is provided with a thinned portion 8, which extends for example over half or a third of the width of the tip 4.
- the thinned portion 8 can be slid under the escutcheon for easy removal, basically working the same as a crowbar.
- the presence of the thinned portion 8 is an additional preferred but not limiting characteristic of the invention.
- the main feature of the invention relates to the integration in an ax of the tools necessary to break a lock cylinder of a locked door, and then open the door.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une hache utilisable par un membre des services de secours tels que les services de pompiers.The present invention relates to an ax usable by a member of the emergency services such as the fire service.
Une hache portable et de dimensions comparables à celles d'un marteau fait partie de l'équipement standard des pompiers. La hache sert à casser ou enlever des obstacles de taille moyenne. Pour accéder à une pièce fermée à clé en cas d'incendie ou autre situation d'urgence, on utilise souvent une hache ou marteau plus lourd pour casser la porte. Cette manière de procéder induit des dommages importants qui seraient évitables si on appliquait des techniques moins destructives, comme par exemple l'utilisation de moyens spécifiques tels que les outils de serrurerie. En outre, on a constaté que le fait de détruire une porte et en particulier, une porte d'entrée aggrave le choc psychologique des personnes secourues. Un autre désavantage de cette méthode est le risque de blessures pour les intervenants.A portable ax with dimensions comparable to that of a hammer is part of the standard equipment for firefighters. The ax is used to break or remove medium-sized obstacles. To gain access to a locked room in the event of a fire or other emergency, a heavier ax or hammer is often used to break the door. This way of proceeding induces significant damage which would be avoidable if less destructive techniques were applied, such as for example the use of specific means such as locksmith tools. In addition, it has been found that destroying a door and in particular a front door worsens the psychological shock of those rescued. Another disadvantage of this method is the risk of injury to the workers.
Bien que les outils destinés à ouvrir ou forcer les serrures, puissent faire partie de l'équipement d'une équipe d'intervention, leur utilisation prend souvent plus de temps que les méthodes destructives et est de ce fait, souvent pas recommandée en cas d'une urgence grave, où la rapidité des actions des différents intervenants est primordiale. En outre, le fait d'équiper les pompiers d'un matériel supplémentaire les handicape à nouveau lors de leurs interventions.Although tools intended to open or force locks, may be part of the equipment of an intervention team, their use often takes longer than destructive methods and is therefore often not recommended in the event of 'a serious emergency, where the speed of action of the various parties involved is essential. In addition, equipping firefighters with additional equipment again handicaps them during their interventions.
La présente invention vise à proposer une solution qui allie les avantages des solutions existantes en évitant les inconvénients. En particulier, la présente invention vise une solution qui permet l'utilisation d'outils de serrurerie classique sans alourdir l'équipement des pompiers.The present invention aims to propose a solution which combines the advantages of existing solutions while avoiding the disadvantages. In particular, the present invention aims at a solution which allows the use of conventional locksmithing tools without weighing down the firefighters' equipment.
La présente invention concerne une hache selon l'une quelconque des revendications annexées. La hache permet à chaque membre d'une équipe d'intervention de forcer et/ou d'ouvrir en très peu de temps une porte verrouillée sans induire des dommages importants.The present invention relates to an ax according to any one of the attached claims. The ax allows each member of an intervention team to force and / or open a locked door in a very short time without causing significant damage.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront dans la description suivante de modes de réalisation préférés, présentés à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés.Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear in the following description of preferred embodiments, presented by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention sont décrits maintenant de manière plus détaillée en référence aux figures jointes, l'invention n'y étant pas limitée, mais étant limitée uniquement par les revendications. L'homme du métier peut reconnaitre que différentes variantes et modifications de la présente invention peuvent être englobées par sa portée. Par conséquent, la description des modes de réalisation préférés ne doit pas être considérée comme limitant la portée de la présente invention.The embodiments of the present invention are now described in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures, the invention not being limited thereto, but being limited only by the claims. Those skilled in the art can recognize that different variations and modifications of the present invention may be encompassed by its scope. Therefore, the description of preferred embodiments should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention.
La hache représentée à la
La face distale 20 (supérieure, représentée dans la
La partie plane 5 forme le niveau supérieur de la hache. Cela veut dire que la partie plane forme le niveau le plus haut de la hache quand elle est tenue verticalement avec la tête de hache 2 au-dessus, la représentation reprise à la
La cavité 6 a une profondeur qui est de préférence constante sur la section entière de la cavité de telle sorte que la paroi de fond est essentiellement parallèle à la partie plane 5. La paroi latérale de la cavité, correspondant au pourtour de celle-ci, est essentiellement perpendiculaire à la partie plane 5. Dans la forme d'exécution préférée et représentée à la
La cavité 6 peut avoir une forme différente, mais ses dimensions sont telles qu'un cylindre de serrure standardisé puisse s'insérer dans la cavité 6, avec un jeu minimal entre le cylindre et la paroi latérale de la cavité 6.The
Le cylindre d'une serrure utilisé pour verrouiller une porte est généralement monté de telle sorte qu'au moins d'un des deux côtés de la porte, une portion dudit cylindre s'étend (faire saillie) hors de la surface de la porte. D'habitude, ladite partie de cylindre est protégée par une plaque appelée rosace, qui est fixée à la surface de la porte. Quand la rosace est enlevée, le cylindre peut facilement être dégagé en utilisant la hache selon l'invention. L'utilisateur met la partie plane 5 de la tête de hache 2 contre la surface de de la porte verrouillée, de manière que la cavité 6 recouvre la portion de cylindre qui dépasse de la surface de la porte. La profondeur de la cavité 6 est suffisante pour que dans le cas d'une serrure installée de manière standardisée, la portion de cylindre puisse entrer suffisamment dans la cavité pour permettre que l'intervenant puisse dégager le cylindre sans dommage significatif, en exerçant une pression sur la hache en direction de la porte et en manipulant en même temps la hache de droite à gauche par rapport à la porte, de préférence dans un plan essentiellement horizontal et perpendiculaire à la porte. Cette manière de procéder va laisser la porte dans un état correct. Seul le cylindre devra être remplacé, ce qui permettra d'avoir moins d'impact et en particulier d'impact psychologique sur les personnes secourues.The cylinder of a lock used to lock a door is generally mounted such that at least on one of the two sides of the door, a portion of said cylinder extends (protrudes) out of the surface of the door. Usually, said cylinder part is protected by a plate called a rosette, which is fixed to the surface of the door. When the rose is removed, the cylinder can easily be released using the ax according to the invention. The user places the
A l'autre extrémité 12 du manche 1 se trouve un outil connu en soi comme une clé d'architecte, ou clé universelle 7, qui est fixée à ladite extrémité ou fait partie. Selon une forme d'exécution, cette clé est directement coulée avec le manche. Cet outil permet de déverrouiller une porte pourvue d'une serrure à cylindre dans laquelle le cylindre a été retiré /enlevé. La présence de cet outil incorporé dans la hache permet à l'utilisateur d'ouvrir en un laps de temps très court la porte dont il vient de dégager le cylindre à l'aide de la cavité 6.At the
Comme déjà mentionné précédemment, dans la plupart des cas, une rosace doit être enlevée avant d'avoir accès au cylindre. Dans ce but, la pointe de frappe 4 de la hache de l'invention est pourvue d'une portion amincie 8, qui s'étend par exemple sur la moitié ou un tiers de la largeur de la pointe 4. La portion amincie 8 peut être glissée sous la rosace pour facilement l'enlever, fonctionnant essentiellement de la même manière qu'un pied de biche. La présence de la portion amincie 8 est une caractéristique supplémentaire préférée mais pas limitative de l'invention.As already mentioned previously, in most cases, a rosette must be removed before accessing the cylinder. For this purpose, the
La caractéristique principale de l'invention concerne l'intégration dans une hache des outils nécessaires pour casser un cylindre de serrure d'une porte verrouillée, et d'ensuite ouvrir la porte. La présence de la hache dans l'équipage d'un intervenant lors d'une situation d'urgence permettra à cette personne d'avoir accès très rapidement à une pièce fermée, sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'outils supplémentaires. De plus, ceci permet d'éviter de causer des dommages trop importants lors de l'ouverture de la porte.The main feature of the invention relates to the integration in an ax of the tools necessary to break a lock cylinder of a locked door, and then open the door. The presence of the ax in the crew of a responder during an emergency situation will allow this person to have very quick access to a closed room, without requiring the use of additional tools. In addition, this avoids causing excessive damage when the door is opened.
Selon une forme d'exécution préférée, la hache est pourvue d'une poignée qui comporte un couvercle servant d'élément de protection. Cet élément de protection est apte à recevoir la clé d'architecte 7 protégeant ainsi la clé lorsqu'elle n'est pas utilisée. La
