Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture de porte destiné à rendre l'ouverture prioritaire sur la fermeture de l'ouvrant.The invention relates to a door closing device intended to give priority to opening over closing of the leaf.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de fermeture de porte à ouverture prioritaire et à assistance de fermeture.The invention relates more particularly to a door closing device with priority opening and closing assistance.

Un dispositif de fermeture de porte à assistance de fermeture permet une fermeture partielle de l'ouvrant et une fermeture complète de l'ouvrant.A door closing device with closing assistance allows partial closing of the opening and complete closing of the opening.

Un tel dispositif, décrit et représenté dans le document WO 2008/145668 , comporte généralement un pêne qui est destiné à coopérer avec une gâche portée par un dormant, un levier d'entraînement du pêne et un cliquet de blocage du pêne.Such a device, described and represented in the document WO 2008/145668 , generally comprises a bolt which is intended to cooperate with a keeper carried by a frame, a bolt drive lever and a bolt locking pawl.

Le pêne présente un premier cran et un second cran qui sont conçus pour coopérer avec le cliquet.The bolt has a first notch and a second notch which are designed to cooperate with the pawl.

Plus particulièrement, le pêne est monté pivotant sur un bâti solidaire de l'ouvrant entre une position de fermeture au premier cran qui correspond à la fermeture partielle de l'ouvrant dans laquelle le pêne est bloqué par le cliquet par son premier cran, une position de fermeture au second cran qui correspond à la fermeture totale de l'ouvrant dans laquelle le pêne est bloqué par le cliquet par son second cran et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le pêne libère la gâche pour permettre l'ouverture de l'ouvrant.More particularly, the bolt is pivotally mounted on a frame integral with the opening between a closed position at the first notch which corresponds to the partial closing of the opening in which the bolt is blocked by the pawl by its first notch, a position closing at the second notch which corresponds to the total closing of the opening in which the bolt is blocked by the pawl by its second notch and an opening position in which the bolt releases the keeper to allow the opening of the opening .

Aussi, un actioneur permet d'assister le déplacement du pêne depuis sa position de fermeture au premier cran jusqu'à sa position de fermeture au second cran pour l'aider à vaincre la charge exercée par le joint de l'ouvrant.Also, an actuator makes it possible to assist the movement of the bolt from its closed position on the first notch to its closed position on the second notch to help it overcome the load exerted by the seal of the opening.

A cet effet, le dispositif de fermeture comporte un câble d'entraînement qui est relié sur le levier d'entraînement du pêne et qui est entraîné en déplacement par l'actionneur pour entraîner le pêne en déplacement.To this end, the closing device comprises a drive cable which is connected to the drive lever of the bolt and which is driven in displacement by the actuator to drive the bolt in displacement.

La fonction d'assistance à la fermeture peut entrainer un risque sécuritaire comme le coincement des doigts d'un passager dans l'entrebâillement de l'ouvrant par exemple.The closing assistance function can lead to a safety risk such as the fingers of a passenger being caught in the opening of the opening, for example.

Pour éviter ce risque, il est connu d'équiper le dispositif de fermeture d'un dispositif de débrayage qui permet une libération instantanée du dispotif de fermeture pour ouvrir l'ouvrant.To avoid this risk, it is known to equip the closing device with a release device which allows instant release of the closing device to open the opening.

Cette libération instantanée se traduit techniquement par l'action de donner la priorité à l'ouverture de l'ouvrant sur la fermeture de l'ouvrant.This instantaneous release technically results in the action of giving priority to the opening of the sash over the closing of the sash.

Dans ce but, il est connu de débrayer l'actionneur, par exemple en débrayant le motoréducteur associé à l'actionneur, comme le propose le document EP 1 452 361 . Toutefois, La solution par débrayage interne à l'actionneur est coûteuse.For this purpose, it is known to disengage the actuator, for example by disengaging the geared motor associated with the actuator, as proposed in document EP 1 452 361 . However, the solution by internal disengagement of the actuator is expensive.

Il est égalemnt connu de débrayer la chaine cinématique de transmission du mouvement entre l'actionneur et le levier d'entraînement du pêne, comme le proposent les documents US 2002/0093207 et JP 2007-138602 . Toutefois, la solution par débrayage de la cinématique de transmission est complexe et nécessite plusieurs composants dédiés à cette fonction de débrayage.It is also known to disengage the kinematic chain for transmitting the movement between the actuator and the bolt drive lever, as proposed in the documents. US 2002/0093207 and JP 2007-138602 . However, the solution by disengaging the transmission kinematics is complex and requires several components dedicated to this disengagement function.

La présente invention vise notamment à résoudre ces inconvénients et se rapporte pour ce faire à un dispositif de fermeture de porte à ouverture prioritaire pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile, comportant :

  • un pêne qui est monté pivotant sur un bâti autour d'un axe entre au moins une position de fermeture dans laquelle le pêne est destiné à coopérer avec une gâche et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le pêne est destiné à libérer la gâche,
  • un levier d'entraînement du pêne qui est monté pivotant sur le bâti et qui est adapté pour entraîner le pêne en pivotement au moins vers sa position de fermeture,
  • un câble d'entraînement qui s'étend depuis une extrémité de sortie qui est reliée sur le levier d'entraînement du pêne, jusqu'à une extrémité d'entrée qui est adaptée pour être reliée sur un actionneur, le câble étant prévu pour être tiré par l'actionneur pour entraîner le pêne dans sa position de fermeture, et
  • une gaine sinueuse qui loge le câble et qui s'étend depuis un arrêt de gaine de sortie jusqu'à un arrêt de gaine d'entré,
caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :
  • un organe de débrayage qui porte l'arrêt de gaine de sortie et qui est conçu pour occuper un état de transmission d'effort dans lequel l'organe de débrayage est immobilisé sur le bâti, de sorte que le câble d'entraînement est apte à entraîner le pêne en déplacement, et un état de débrayage dans lequel l'organe de débrayage et l'arrêt de gaine de sortie sont libres en mouvement par rapport au bâti, de sorte que le câble d'entraînement n'est plus apte à entraîner le pêne en déplacement, et
  • un élément de commande qui est monté mobile sur le bâti entre une position de blocage dans laquelle l'élément de commande bloque l'organe de débrayage dans son état de transmission, et une position de déblocage dans laquelle l'élément de commande libère l'organe de débrayage.

  • a drive cable which extends from an output end which is connected to the drive lever of the bolt, to an input end which is adapted to be connected to an actuator, the cable being intended to be pulled by the actuator to drive the bolt into its closed position, and
  • a sinuous sheath which accommodates the cable and which extends from an output sheath stop to an entry sheath stop,
characterized in that it comprises:
  • a clutch member which carries the output sheath stop and which is designed to occupy a force transmission state in which the clutch member is immobilized on the frame, so that the drive cable is able to drive the bolt in motion, and a disengaged state in which the disengaging member and the outlet sheath stop are free to move relative to the frame, so that the drive cable is no longer able to drive the bolt in motion, and
  • a control element which is movably mounted on the frame between a locking position in which the control element locks the disengagement member in its transmission state, and an unlocking position in which the control element releases the disengagement member.

A cet effet, le cliquet 22 est monté pivotant sur le bâti autour d'un axe B transversal, entre une position de blocage dans laquelle le cliquet 22 s'oppose au pivotement du pêne 16 depuis une de ses positions de fermeture vers sa position d'ouverture, et une position de déblocage dans laquelle le cliquet 22 libère le pêne 16.To this end, the pawl 22 is pivotally mounted on the frame about a transverse axis B, between a locking position in which the pawl 22 opposes the pivoting of the bolt 16 from one of its closed positions to its position d 'opening, and an unlocking position in which the pawl 22 releases the bolt 16.

Le cliquet 22 est rappelé élastiquement vers sa position de blocage par un ressort de rappel (non représenté).The pawl 22 is resiliently returned to its locking position by a return spring (not shown).

Aussi, le cliquet 22 est solidaire en pivotement d'un entraîneur 28 lui-même entraîné par un actionneur (non représenté) d'ouverture de la serrure, pour permettre d'entraîner le cliquet dans sa position de déblocage du pêne 16 en cas de commande d'ouverture de porte.Also, the pawl 22 is pivotally secured to a driver 28 itself driven by an actuator (not shown) for opening the lock, to enable the pawl to be driven into its unlocking position of the bolt 16 in the event of door opening command.

Le levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16 présente un premier tronçon 30 qui forme une fourche 32 d'entraînement du pêne 16, un deuxième tronçon 34 qui est relié sur un câble 36 d'entraînement et un tronçon central 38 qui est monté pivotant sur le bâti de l'ouvrant 10.The drive lever 20 of the bolt 16 has a first section 30 which forms a fork 32 for driving the bolt 16, a second section 34 which is connected to a drive cable 36 and a central section 38 which is pivotally mounted on the frame of the sash 10.

La fourche 32 du levier d'entraînement 20 comprend une première branche 40 et une seconde branche 42.The fork 32 of the drive lever 20 comprises a first branch 40 and a second branch 42.

Le levier d'entraînement 20 est monté pivotant sur le bâti autour d'un axe transversal C.The drive lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the frame about a transverse axis C.

En complément, le pêne 16 comporte un doigt 44 qui s'étend globalement radialement par rapport à l'axe A de pivotement du pêne 16 et qui entraîne en pivotement le levier d'entraînement 20 dans un sens antihoraire lorsque le pêne 16 passe de sa position d'ouverture à sa position de fermeture au premier cran,, en poussant sur la première branche 40 de la fourche 32.In addition, the bolt 16 comprises a finger 44 which extends generally radially with respect to the pivot axis A of the bolt 16 and which pivotally drives the drive lever 20 in a counterclockwise direction when the bolt 16 passes from its position. open position to its closed position at the first notch ,, by pushing on the first branch 40 of the fork 32.

Ainsi, le doigt 44 du pêne 16 est engagé dans la fourche 32 lorsque le pêne 16 occupe sa position de fermeture au premier cran illustrée à la figure 3.Thus, the finger 44 of the bolt 16 is engaged in the fork 32 when the bolt 16 occupies its closed position at the first notch illustrated in figure 3 .

De plus, la seconde branche 42 de la fourche 32 du levier d'entraînement 20 est agencée pour entraîner le pêne 16 depuis sa position de fermeture au premier cran jusqu'à sa position de fermeture au deuxième cran, par l'intermédiaire du doigt 44.In addition, the second branch 42 of the fork 32 of the drive lever 20 is arranged to drive the bolt 16 from its closed position on the first notch to its closed position on the second notch, via the finger 44 .

Le levier d'entraînement 20 est associé à un ressort (non représenté) qui rappelle élastiquement le levier d'entraînement 20 dans un sens horaire.The drive lever 20 is associated with a spring (not shown) which resiliently recalls the drive lever 20 in a clockwise direction.

A l'inverse, pour permettre le pivotement du levier d'entraînement 20 dans un sens antihoraire, le câble 36 s'étend depuis une extrémité de sortie 46 qui est reliée sur le levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16, jusqu'à une extrémité d'entrée 48 qui est reliée sur un actionneur 50.Conversely, to allow the pivoting of the drive lever 20 in a counterclockwise direction, the cable 36 extends from an output end 46 which is connected to the drive lever 20 of the bolt 16, up to a input end 48 which is connected to an actuator 50.

Ainsi, une traction du câble 36 permet d'entraîner le pêne 16 depuis sa position de fermeture au premier cran jusqu'à sa position de fermeture au deuxième cran.Thus, pulling the cable 36 allows the bolt 16 to be driven from its closed position on the first notch to its closed position on the second notch.

L'ensemble formé par l'actionneur 50, le câble 36 et le levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16 constitue un dispositif d'assistance à la fermeture de l'ouvrant.The assembly formed by the actuator 50, the cable 36 and the drive lever 20 of the bolt 16 constitutes a device for assisting the closing of the opening.

L'actionneur 50 est par exemple un ensemble comprenant un moteur électrique et un réducteur, qui permet d'exercer une traction sur l'extrémité d'entrée 48 du câble 36.The actuator 50 is for example an assembly comprising an electric motor and a reduction gear, which makes it possible to exert traction on the input end 48 of the cable 36.

Aussi, le dispositif de fermeture de porte 14 selon l'invention comporte un organe de débrayage 52, formant levier, et un élément de commande 54 de l'organe de débrayage 52.Also, the door closing device 14 according to the invention comprises a disengagement member 52, forming a lever, and a control element 54 of the disengaging member 52.

L'organe de débrayage 52 s'étend depuis une première portion 56 qui est montée pivotante sur le bâti autour d'un axe D transversal, jusqu'à une seconde portion 58 libre qui porte un premier arrêt de gaine d'entrée 60, ou butée de gaine d'entrée.The disengaging member 52 extends from a first portion 56 which is mounted to pivot on the frame about a transverse axis D, to a second free portion 58 which carries a first inlet sheath stop 60, or inlet duct stop.

Un second arrêt de gaine de sortie 62 est monté sur l'actionneur 50 de façon fixe par rapport au bâti.A second outlet duct stop 62 is mounted on the actuator 50 in a fixed manner relative to the frame.

Une gaine 64 sinueuse, qui loge le câble 36, s'étend entre l'arrêt de gaine d'entrée 60 et l'arrêt de gaine de sortie 62.A sinuous sheath 64, which accommodates the cable 36, extends between the inlet sheath stop 60 and the outlet sheath stop 62.

L'organe de débrayage 52 est conçu pour occuper un état de transmission d'effort, représenté aux figures 2 à 4, et un état de débrayage représenté à la figure 5.The clutch 52 is designed to occupy a force transmission state, shown in figures 2 to 4 , and a disengagement state shown in figure 5 .

Dans son état de transmission d'effort, l'organe de débrayage 52 est sensiblement bloqué en pivotement sur le bâti, de sorte que le câble 36 d'entraînement est apte à transmettre un effort de traction au levier d'entraînement 20 pour entraîner le pêne 16 en déplacement.In its force transmission state, the clutch member 52 is substantially locked in pivoting on the frame, so that the drive cable 36 is able to transmit a traction force to the drive lever 20 to drive the drive. bolt 16 moving.

Dans son état de débrayage, l'organe de débrayage 52 est libre en pivotement par rapport au bâti, et l'arrêt de gaine d'entrée 60 est libre également par conséquent, de sorte que le câble 36 d'entraînement n'est plus apte à transmettre un effort de traction suffisant au levier d'entraînement 20 pour entraîner le pêne 16 en déplacement.In its disengaged state, the disengaging member 52 is free to pivot relative to the frame, and the inlet sheath stop 60 is free. also consequently, so that the drive cable 36 is no longer able to transmit a sufficient traction force to the drive lever 20 to drive the bolt 16 in motion.

Ainsi, l'organe de débrayage 52 est monté pivotant sur le bâti entre une position de transmission d'effort qui correspond à une position adoptée par l'organe de débrayage 52 dans son état de transmission, et une position de débrayage qui correspond à une position adoptée par l'organe de débrayage 52 dans son état de débrayage, en fin de course.Thus, the disengaging member 52 is pivotally mounted on the frame between a force transmission position which corresponds to a position adopted by the disengaging member 52 in its transmission state, and a disengaging position which corresponds to a position adopted by the disengaging member 52 in its disengaged state, at the end of travel.

L'organe de débrayage 52 est rappelé élastiquement vers sa position de transmission par un élément de rappel élastique (non représenté).The disengaging member 52 is elastically returned to its transmission position by an elastic return element (not shown).

De plus, le dispositif de fermeture 14 comporte une butée 65 qui est solidaire du bâti et qui est agencée de façon à limiter la course de l'organe de débrayage dans sa position de transmission, à l'encontre de l'élément de rappel élastique de l'organe de débrayage.In addition, the closing device 14 comprises a stop 65 which is integral with the frame and which is arranged so as to limit the travel of the clutch member in its transmission position, against the elastic return element. of the clutch release device.

En effet, lorsqu'une gaine câblée présente un arrêt de gaine d'entrée et un arrêt de gaine de sortie qui sont fixes, la gaine subit une force qui est proportionnelle à la force transmise par le câble au niveau de l'arrêt de gaine d'entrée.Indeed, when a cabled sheath has an inlet sheath stop and an outlet sheath stop which are fixed, the sheath is subjected to a force which is proportional to the force transmitted by the cable at the level of the sheath stop. entry.

La force subie par la gaine est répartie sur chaque arrêt de gaine en fonction du parcours du câble. Ce phénomène n'est vrai que pour un parcours de gaine non rectiligne, ou sinueux.The force undergone by the sheath is distributed over each sheath stop according to the path of the cable. This phenomenon is only true for a non-rectilinear or sinuous duct path.

A l'inverse, lorsqu'une gaine câblée présente un arrêt de gaine d'entrée fixe et un arrêt de gaine de sortie libre, l'arrêt de gaine de sortie libre va se déplacer sous l'action de la force qu'il subi, la force en sortie du câble est transférée sur l'arrêt de gaine libre de sorte que le câble ne transmet plus d'effort au-delà de la gaine.Conversely, when a cabled sheath has a fixed inlet sheath stop and a free outlet sheath stop, the free outlet sheath stop will move under the action of the force that it has undergone. , the force at the output of the cable is transferred to the free sheath stop so that the cable no longer transmits force beyond the sheath.

L'élément de commande 54 est monté pivotant sur le bâti autour d'un axe E transversal.The control element 54 is mounted to pivot on the frame about a transverse axis E.

De plus, l'élément de commande 54 comporte une face de blocage 66 qui s'étend globalement tangentiellement à l'axe E de pivotement de l'élément de commande 54 et qui est adaptée pour être en appui sur une face d'appui 68 formée sur l'organe de débrayage 52.In addition, the control element 54 comprises a locking face 66 which extends generally tangentially to the pivoting axis E of the control element 54 and which is adapted to be supported on a bearing face 68 formed on the clutch 52.

Pour changer l'état de l'organe de débrayage 52, l'élément de commande 54 est monté pivotant entre une position de blocage représentée aux figures 2 à 4, dans laquelle la face de blocage 66 de l'élément de commande 54 est en appui sur la face d'appui 68 de l'organe de débrayage 52 pour bloquer l'organe de débrayage 52 dans son état de transmission, et une position de déblocage illustrée à la figure 5, dans laquelle la face de blocage 66 de l'élément de commande 54 n'est plus en regard de la face d'appui 68 de l'organe de débrayage 52 pour libérer l'organe de débrayage 52.To change the state of the release member 52, the control element 54 is pivotally mounted between a locking position shown in FIGS. figures 2 to 4 , in which the locking face 66 of the control element 54 bears on the bearing face 68 of the disengaging member 52 to lock the disengaging member 52 in its transmission state, and an unlocking position illustrated on figure 5 , in which the locking face 66 of the control element 54 is no longer opposite the bearing face 68 of the disengagement member 52 to release the disengagement member 52.

Aussi, l'élément de commande 54 présente un bras 70 qui est relié sur un élément de transmission d'ouverture d'un ouvrant (non représenté), par exemple au moyen d'un câble, de sorte que l'élément de commande 54 est entraîné depuis sa position de blocage jusqu'à sa position de déblocage lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant.Also, the control element 54 has an arm 70 which is connected to an opening transmission element of an opening (not shown), for example by means of a cable, so that the control element 54 is driven from its locked position to its unlocked position when opening the leaf.

En effet, l'élément de commande 54 est relié sur le cliquet 22 par un câble (non représenté) pour permettre d'ouvrir la serrure en libérant le pêne 16, le levier de commande 54 étant sollicité au cours des différents type d'ouverture de la serrure, notamment une ouverture mécanique via la poignée ou une ouverture assistée via un moto-réducteur.Indeed, the control element 54 is connected to the pawl 22 by a cable (not shown) to allow the lock to be opened by releasing the bolt 16, the control lever 54 being biased during the different types of opening. of the lock, in particular mechanical opening via the handle or assisted opening via a gear motor.

Un exemple de fonctionnement du dispositif de fermeture 14 selon l'invention est décrit ci-dessous, dans un premier temps pour une commande de fermeture de porte assistée par l'actionneur 50, sans demande d'ouverture prioritaire et dans un second temps pour une commande de fermeture de porte assistée par l'actionneur 50, interrompue par une commande d'ouverture prioritaire.An example of the operation of the closing device 14 according to the invention is described below, firstly for a door closing command assisted by the actuator 50, without a priority opening request and secondly for a door closing command. door closing command assisted by the actuator 50, interrupted by a priority opening command.

Pour passer d'une position de fermeture au premier cran illustrée à la figure 3, correspondant à une position de fermeture partielle de l'ouvrant 10, à une position de fermeture au deuxième cran illustrée à la figure 4, correspondant à une position de fermeture totale de l'ouvrant 10, l'actionneur 50 exerce une force de traction dur le câble 36, cette force est transmise au levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16 par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de débrayage 52 qui est bloqué en pivotement dans son état de transmission par l'élément de commande 54 qui occupe sa position de blocage.To go from a closed position to the first notch shown in figure 3 , corresponding to a partially closed position of the leaf 10, to a closed position on the second notch illustrated in figure 4 , corresponding to a fully closed position of the leaf 10, the actuator 50 exerts a tensile force on the cable 36, this force is transmitted to the drive lever 20 of the bolt 16 via the clutch 52 which is locked in pivoting in its transmission state by the control element 54 which occupies its locked position.

On notera que dans cette configuration, lorsque une force est exercée par le câble 36, l'organe de débrayage 52 pivote sensiblement vers l'élément de commande 54 pour combler un jeu J illustré à la figure 2.It will be noted that in this configuration, when a force is exerted by the cable 36, the clutch member 52 pivots substantially towards the control element 54 to fill a clearance J illustrated in figure 2 .

Le jeu J à pour fonction d'éviter un frottement permanant entre l'organe de débrayage 52 et l'élément de commande 54 pour permette à l'élément de commande de pivoter librement lorsqu'il est entraîné en pivotement pour ouvrir la serrure.The play J has the function of avoiding a permanent friction between the release member 52 and the control element 54 to allow the control element to pivot freely when it is driven in pivoting to open the lock.

De plus, le jeu J permet un retour en position initiale de l'élément de commande 54 sans interférence avec l'organe de débrayage 52.In addition, the clearance J allows a return to the initial position of the control element 54 without interference with the disengagement member 52.

En cas de commande d'ouverture prioritaire, par exemple lorsqu'un utilisateur actionne la poignée de l'ouvrant 10 au cours du processus d'assistance à la fermeture décrit ci-dessus, pour libérer une main coincée dans l'entrebâillement de porte, l'élément de commande 54 est entraîné depuis sa position de blocage jusqu'à sa position de déblocage.In the event of a priority opening command, for example when a user actuates the handle of the leaf 10 during the closing assistance process described above, to release a hand stuck in the door opening, the control element 54 is driven from its locked position to its unlocked position.

Ainsi, l'élément de commande 54 libère l'organe de débrayage 52 qui devient « fou », de sorte qu'en cas d'effort de traction appliqué sur le câble 36 par l'actionneur 50, la gaine 64 subit une contraction, l'arrêt de gaine de sortie 60 transmet cet effort à l'organe de débrayage 52 qui est entraîné en pivotement vers sa position de débrayage illustrée à la figure 5, et le levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16 reste immobile.Thus, the control element 54 releases the clutch member 52 which goes “crazy”, so that in the event of a tensile force applied to the cable 36 by the actuator 50, the sheath 64 undergoes a contraction, the outlet sheath stop 60 transmits this force to the disengaging member 52 which is driven in pivoting towards its disengaged position illustrated in figure 5 , and the drive lever 20 of the bolt 16 remains stationary.

On notera que même si le processus d'assistance à la fermeture de l'ouvrant est entamé, le dispositif de fermeture 14 selon l'invention permet de libérer l'organe de débrayage 52 pour rendre le levier d'entraînement 20 du pêne 16 inopérant et ainsi interrompre le processus d'assistance à la fermeture de l'ouvrant.It will be noted that even if the process of assisting in closing the opening is started, the closing device 14 according to the invention enables the release member 52 to be released to render the drive lever 20 of the bolt 16 inoperative. and thus interrupt the process of assisting in closing the opening.

L'ouverture est prioritaire sur la fermeture.Opening takes priority over closing.

Avantageusement, le dispositif de fermeture 14 selon l'invention ne requiert pas un mécanisme spécifique de débrayage à implanter entre le câble et le pêne.Advantageously, the closing device 14 according to the invention does not require a specific release mechanism to be installed between the cable and the bolt.

Le débrayage ou l'embrayage de l'organe de débrayage 52 utilise le levier de commande 54 qui est présent sur nombreux types de serrures pour commander l'ouverture de la porte.The disengagement or engagement of the disengagement member 52 uses the control lever 54 which is present on many types of locks to control the opening of the door.

Ainsi, le dispositif de fermeture 14 selon l'invention offre l'avantage de ne nécessiter qu'un seul organe de débrayage 52 quelque soit l'origine de la demande d'ouverture de la serrure.Thus, the closing device 14 according to the invention offers the advantage of requiring only one release member 52 whatever the origin of the request to open the lock.

La présente description de l'invention est donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif.The present description of the invention is given by way of nonlimiting example.

On comprendra que le levier de débrayage peut aussi bien être monté pivotant que monté coulissant sur le bâti.It will be understood that the release lever can equally well be mounted to pivot or mounted to slide on the frame.

De même, des inversions mécaniques simples sont couvertes par l'invention, il est par exemple possible de rendre l'arrêt de gaine d'entrée fou à la place de l'arrêt de gaine de sortie.Likewise, simple mechanical reversals are covered by the invention, it is for example possible to make the inlet sheath stop crazy instead of the outlet sheath stop.

Enfin, le dispositif de fermeture de porte selon l'invention est adapté à tout type de serrure d'ouvrant à commande de fermeture par câble.Finally, the door closing device according to the invention is suitable for any type of door lock with cable closing control.
