Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un article, notamment de maroquinerie, aussi appelé plus communément fermoir.The invention relates to a device for opening and closing an article, in particular leather goods, also more commonly called a clasp.

L'invention concerne également un article, notamment de maroquinerie, pourvu d'un tel dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture.The invention also relates to an article, in particular of leather goods, provided with such an opening and closing device.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

On connaît des dispositifs d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un article, notamment de maroquinerie, pourvus d'une clé et d'un barillet permettant le verrouillage et le déverrouillage du dispositif et par conséquent l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'article, par l'insertion de la clé dans le barillet et son entrainement en rotation. Il s'agit de dispositifs souvent appelés serrure.There are known devices for opening and closing an article, in particular leather goods, provided with a key and a barrel allowing the locking and unlocking of the device and therefore the opening and closing of the article. , by inserting the key into the barrel and driving it in rotation. These are devices often referred to as a lock.

On connaît également des dispositifs d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un article, notamment de maroquinerie, pourvus plutôt d'un boîtier comportant un palastre mobile en rotation entre une première position stable et une seconde position. Un bouton d'assemblage, aussi appelé tibi, est prévu pour être introduit dans le boîtier et retiré de ce boîtier lorsque le palastre est amené dans sa seconde position. Il s'agit de dispositifs souvent appelés fermoirs. Lorsque le palastre est dans sa première position stable et le tibi introduit dans le boîtier, alors le fermoir est fermé ; tandis que lorsque le palastre est dans sa première position stable et le tibi retiré du boîtier, alors le fermoir est ouvert et l'insertion du tibi dans le boîtier n'est pas possible.Devices are also known for opening and closing an article, in particular leather goods, provided rather with a housing comprising a palastre movable in rotation between a first stable position and a second position. An assembly button, also called tibi, is provided to be introduced into the housing and withdrawn from this housing when the palastro is brought into its second position. These are devices often called clasps. When the palastre is in its first stable position and the tibi introduced into the case, then the clasp is closed; while when the palastre is in its first stable position and the tibi withdrawn from the case, then the clasp is open and the insertion of the tibi into the case is not possible.

Exposé de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

L'invention vise à fournir un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un article, notamment de maroquinerie, du type fermoir, sans clé ni barillet, qui soit particulièrement simple et commode tant à la fabrication qu'à l'utilisation.The invention aims to provide a device for opening and closing an article, in particular leather goods, of the clasp type, without a key or cylinder, which is particularly simple and convenient both in manufacture and in use.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet, sous un premier aspect, un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un article, notamment de maroquinerie, comportant un boîtier de fermoir et un bouton d'assemblage configuré pour coopérer avec ledit boîtier de fermoir, lequel boîtier de fermoir est pourvu d'un mécanisme admettant une configuration verrouillée dans laquelle ledit article peut être fermé et une configuration déverrouillée dans laquelle ledit article peut être ouvert, caractérisé en ce que ledit mécanisme comporte un palastre monté mobile en rotation par rapport audit boîtier de fermoir, entre une première position stable et une deuxième position, au moins un organe de verrouillage monté mobile dans ledit boîtier de fermoir et configuré pour être entraîné par ledit palastre, et un loquet monté mobile en translation dans ledit boîtier de fermoir et configuré pour coopérer avec ledit palastre ; ledit mécanisme étant configuré de sorte que :

  • lorsque ledit palastre est dans sa première position stable et que ledit bouton d'assemblage est introduit dans ledit boîtier de fermoir, ledit au moins un organe de verrouillage immobilise ledit bouton d'assemblage au moins en translation ;
  • lorsque ledit palastre est mis en rotation et passe de sa première position stable à sa deuxième position, ledit au moins un organe de verrouillage est déplacé jusqu'à libérer ledit bouton d'assemblage et ledit loquet est entraîné en translation dans ledit boîtier de fermoir jusqu'à pousser ledit bouton d'assemblage hors dudit boîtier de fermoir ;
  • lorsque ledit palastre est dans sa deuxième position, ledit loquet immobilise ledit palastre et ledit au moins un organe de verrouillage ; et lorsque ledit bouton d'assemblage est réintroduit dans ledit boîtier de fermoir, ledit bouton d'assemblage pousse ledit loquet qui libère ledit palastre et ledit au moins un organe de verrouillage, ledit palastre est mis en rotation et passe de sa deuxième position à sa première position stable et ledit au moins un organe de verrouillage est déplacé jusqu'à immobiliser ledit bouton d'assemblage au moins en translation.
The subject of the invention is thus, in a first aspect, a device for opening and closing an article, in particular leather goods, comprising a clasp case and an assembly button configured to cooperate with said clasp case, which clasp case is provided with a mechanism admitting a locked configuration in which said article can be closed and an unlocked configuration in which said article can be opened, characterized in that said mechanism comprises a mounted palastre movable in rotation with respect to said clasp housing, between a first stable position and a second position, at least one locking member movably mounted in said clasp case and configured to be driven by said palastre, and a latch mounted movable in translation in said clasp housing and configured to cooperate with said palastre; said mechanism being configured such that:
  • when said palastre is in its first stable position and when said assembly button is introduced into said clasp housing, said at least one locking member immobilizes said assembly button at least in translation;
  • when said palastre is rotated and passes from its first stable position to its second position, said at least one locking member is moved until said assembly button is released and said latch is driven in translation in said clasp housing until pushing said assembly button out of said clasp housing;
  • when said palastre is in its second position, said latch immobilizes said palastre and said at least one locking member; and when said assembly button is reintroduced into said clasp housing, said assembly button pushes said latch which releases said palastre and said at least one locking member, said palastre is rotated and passes from its second position to its first stable position and said at least one locking member is moved to immobilize said assembly button at least in translation.

Le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture selon l'invention est particulièrement commode en ce qu'il permet d'ouvrir l'article par simple rotation du palastre, le bouton d'assemblage étant automatiquement libéré du boîtier de fermoir par l'action du loquet et le mécanisme étant ainsi en configuration déverrouillée.The opening and closing device according to the invention is particularly convenient in that it allows the article to be opened by simple rotation of the palastre, the assembly button being automatically released from the clasp housing by the action of the latch and the mechanism thus being in the unlocked configuration.

Au surplus, le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture selon l'invention est particulièrement commode en ce qu'il permet de fermer l'article par simple introduction du bouton d'assemblage dans le boîtier de fermoir, sans avoir à actionner le palastre.In addition, the opening and closing device according to the invention is particularly convenient in that it allows the article to be closed by simply inserting the assembly button into the clasp case, without having to actuate the palastre.

En effet, la translation du loquet lorsque le palastre est entraîné en rotation depuis sa première position stable vers sa deuxième position permet de maintenir le palastre dans sa deuxième position, dans laquelle le bouton d'assemblage peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit. Au surplus, puisque le palastre entraine l'organe de verrouillage dans une position où il libère le bouton d'assemblage, ce dernier reste dans cette position et le bouton d'assemblage peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit.Indeed, the translation of the latch when the palastro is driven in rotation from its first stable position towards its second position makes it possible to maintain the palastro in its second position, in which the assembly button can easily be withdrawn and / or introduced. Moreover, since the palastre drives the locking member into a position where it releases the assembly button, the latter remains in this position and the assembly button can easily be withdrawn and / or introduced.

En particulier, le mécanisme du boîtier de fermoir 2 est ici configuré pour que les plots 25 du palastre 4 viennent en butée contre des bords des évidements 47 respectifs du loquet 45.In particular, the mechanism of the clasp case 2 is here configured so that the studs 25 of the palastre 4 come into abutment against the edges of the respective recesses 47 of the latch 45.

Cela permet de bloquer progressivement le palastre 4 dans sa première position stable.This makes it possible to gradually block the palastre 4 in its first stable position.

Le mécanisme du boîtier de fermoir 2 est aussi pourvu d'un ou plusieurs organes de verrouillage 60 montés mobiles dans le boîtier de fermoir 2 et configurés pour être entraînés par le palastre 4.The mechanism of the clasp case 2 is also provided with one or more locking members 60 movably mounted in the clasp case 2 and configured to be driven by the palastre 4.

Ces organes de verrouillage sont formés par des lames 60 qui ont sensiblement une forme de crochets, et qui sont pourvues chacune d'un troisième orifice 61 pour le montage pivotant de chacune des lames 60 sur les deuxièmes cheminées 34 de la plaque de palastre 7.These locking members are formed by blades 60 which have substantially the shape of hooks, and which are each provided with a third orifice 61 for the pivoting mounting of each of the blades 60 on the second chimneys 34 of the palastre plate 7.

Les lames 60 sont pourvues chacune d'une encoche 62, ayant une forme allongée et dans laquelle est configuré pour être à reçu à déplacement un pion d'entraînement 27 respectif du palastre 4.The blades 60 are each provided with a notch 62, having an elongated shape and in which is configured to be to receive in displacement a respective drive pin 27 of the palastre 4.

Les lames 60 présentent en outre chacune un contour ayant une section 63 qui est incurvée et prévue pour être logée au moins partiellement dans la rainure 14 du doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 lorsque le palastre 4 est dans sa première position stable.The blades 60 also each have an outline having a section 63 which is curved and intended to be housed at least partially in the groove 14 of the finger 11 of the assembly button 3 when the palastre 4 is in its first stable position.

Le mécanisme du boîtier de fermoir 2 est en outre pourvu d'un premier organe de rappel 64, formé par exemple ici par un ressort de traction, et d'un deuxième organe de rappel 65, formé par exemple ici par un ressort de compression.The mechanism of the clasp housing 2 is furthermore provided with a first return member 64, formed for example here by a tension spring, and with a second return member 65, formed for example here by a compression spring.

Le premier organe de rappel 64 a une forme sensiblement semi-circulaire et est pourvu de points d'attaches 66 aux première et deuxième extrémités opposées de ce premier organe de rappel 64.The first return member 64 has a substantially semi-circular shape and is provided with attachment points 66 at the first and second opposite ends of this first return member 64.

Le premier organe de rappel 64 est logé dans le palastre 4, entre la paroi externe cylindrique 16 et la paroi interne semi-circulaire 21, et est assujetti mécaniquement à la fois à la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 par l'un des points d'attaches du premier organe de rappel 64 et à la deuxième tige d'attache 36 de la plaque de palastre 7 par l'autre des points d'attaches du premier organe de rappel 64.The first return member 64 is housed in the palastre 4, between the cylindrical outer wall 16 and the semi-circular internal wall 21, and is mechanically secured to both the first attachment rod 24 of the palastre 4 by one attachment points of the first return member 64 and to the second attachment rod 36 of the palastre plate 7 by the other of the attachment points of the first return member 64.

Le deuxième organe de rappel 65 est configuré pour mettre en appui le loquet 45 contre le palastre 4 en l'absence de sollicitation extérieure.The second return member 65 is configured to press the latch 45 against the palastre 4 in the absence of external stress.

En particulier, le deuxième organe de rappel 65 est logé partiellement dans le siège 32 ménagé dans le couvercle 5 et vient en appui contre une face externe 49 du loquet 45.In particular, the second return member 65 is partially housed in the seat 32 provided in the cover 5 and bears against an external face 49 of the latch 45.

Le mécanisme du boîtier de fermoir 2 comporte également des premières vis de fixation 67 qui permettent d'assujettir mécaniquement la plaque de palastre 7 au couvercle 5, en traversant les premiers orifices 40, les deuxièmes cheminées 34 de la plaque de palastre 7 et les oreilles 85 de la couronne 81, et en venant s'insérer dans les premières cheminées 31 du couvercle 5 qui se trouvent directement en regard des deuxièmes cheminées 34 de la plaque de palastre 7 et des oreilles 85 de la couronne 81.The mechanism of the clasp case 2 also comprises first fixing screws 67 which make it possible to mechanically secure the palastre plate 7 to the cover 5, passing through the first orifices 40, the second chimneys 34 of the palastre plate 7 and the ears. 85 of the crown 81, and by being inserted into the first chimneys 31 of the cover 5 which are located directly opposite the second chimneys 34 of the palastre plate 7 and the ears 85 of the crown 81.

Le palastre 4 est ainsi interposé entre la plaque de palastre 7 et le couvercle 5 tout en étant mobile en rotation entre ceux-ci.The palastre 4 is thus interposed between the palastre plate 7 and the cover 5 while being movable in rotation between the latter.

Le mécanisme du boîtier de fermoir 2 comporte des deuxièmes vis de fixation 68 qui permettent d'assujettir mécaniquement la contre-plaque 8 à la plaque de palastre 7, en traversant les deuxièmes orifices 44 de la contre-plaque 8 et en venant s'insérer dans les troisièmes cheminées 38 de la plaque de palastre 7.The mechanism of the clasp case 2 comprises second fixing screws 68 which make it possible to mechanically secure the back plate 8 to the palastre plate 7, by passing through the second holes 44 of the back plate 8 and coming in. in the third chimneys 38 of the palastre plate 7.

Une troisième vis de fixation 69 est aussi prévue pour assujettir mécaniquement le flasque 12 du bouton d'assemblage 3 à son doigt 11.A third fixing screw 69 is also provided to mechanically secure the flange 12 of the assembly button 3 to its finger 11.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 et la coopération des pièces qu'il comporte, en référence aux figures 10, 10A, 10B à 13, 13A, 13B.We will now describe the operation of the opening and closing device 1 and the cooperation of the parts that it comprises, with reference to figures 10, 10A , 10B to 13 , 13A, 13B .

Les figures 10, 10A et 10B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme est dans sa configuration verrouillée.The figures 10, 10A and 10B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism is in its locked configuration.

Dans cette configuration verrouillée du mécanisme, le palastre 4 est dans sa première position stable, le bouton d'assemblage 3 est introduit dans le boîtier de fermoir 2, et les lames 60 immobilisent le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 au moins en translation.In this locked configuration of the mechanism, the palastre 4 is in its first stable position, the assembly button 3 is introduced into the clasp housing 2, and the blades 60 immobilize the finger 11 of the assembly button 3 at least in translation. .

En particulier, le premier organe de rappel 64 n'est pas sollicité et a ses points d'attache 66 assujettis mécaniquement respectivement à la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 et à la deuxième tige d'attache 36 de la plaque de palastre 7, cette deuxième tige d'attache 36 étant introduite dans la fenêtre complémentaire 20 du palastre 4.In particular, the first return member 64 is not stressed and has its attachment points 66 mechanically secured respectively to the first attachment rod 24 of palastre 4 and to the second attachment rod 36 of palastre plate 7, this second attachment rod 36 being introduced into the complementary window 20 of palastre 4.

Dans la première position stable du palastre 4, la deuxième tige d'attache 36 se trouve ici à une première extrémité de la fenêtre complémentaire 20.In the first stable position of the palastre 4, the second attachment rod 36 is located here at a first end of the complementary window 20.

Le deuxième organe de rappel 65 est comprimé entre le couvercle 5 et la face externe 49 du loquet 45 et ce dernier repose, par une face interne 50 opposée à sa face externe 49, sur les plots 25 du palastre 4.The second return member 65 is compressed between the cover 5 and the external face 49 of the latch 45 and the latter rests, by an internal face 50 opposite its external face 49, on the studs 25 of the palastre 4.

Le loquet 45 est en outre immobilisé en rotation par les premières cheminées 31 du couvercle 5 qui se trouvent dans les échancrures 46 du loquet 45.The latch 45 is also immobilized in rotation by the first chimneys 31 of the cover 5 which are located in the notches 46 of the latch 45.

Les lames 60 sont montées pivotantes sur la plaque de palastre 7 grâce aux deuxièmes cheminées 34 de la plaque de palastre 7 qui sont introduites dans les troisièmes orifices 61 des lames 60.The blades 60 are pivotally mounted on the palastre plate 7 by virtue of the second chimneys 34 of the palastre plate 7 which are introduced into the third orifices 61 of the blades 60.

Les pions d'entraînement 27 du palastre 4 sont reçus dans les encoches 62 des lames 60, et sont situés à une première extrémité des encoches 62, de sorte que les lames 60 sont dans une configuration où elles sont le plus resserrées les unes des autres.The drive pins 27 of the palastre 4 are received in the notches 62 of the blades 60, and are located at a first end of the notches 62, so that the blades 60 are in a configuration where they are most tightened to each other .

Ainsi, les lames 60 sont au moins partiellement logées dans la rainure 14 du doigt 11, avec les sections 63 des contours des lames 60 qui verrouillent ainsi le bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le palastre 4.Thus, the blades 60 are at least partially housed in the groove 14 of the finger 11, with the sections 63 of the contours of the blades 60 which thus lock the assembly button 3 in the palastre 4.

Les figures 11, 11A et 11B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme passe de sa configuration verrouillée à sa configuration déverrouillée.The figures 11, 11A and 11B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism changes from its locked configuration to its unlocked configuration.

Le palastre 4 est entraîné en rotation depuis sa première position stable vers sa deuxième position.The palastre 4 is driven in rotation from its first stable position to its second position.

Le premier organe de rappel 64 est mis en tension par le déplacement de la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 vis-à-vis de la deuxième tige d'attache 36 qui reste fixe.The first return member 64 is tensioned by the movement of the first attachment rod 24 of the palastre 4 vis-à-vis the second attachment rod 36 which remains fixed.

La fenêtre complémentaire 20 du palastre 4 est aussi déplacée de sorte que la deuxième tige d'attache 36 se retrouve sensiblement au centre de cette fenêtre complémentaire 20.The complementary window 20 of the palastre 4 is also moved so that the second attachment rod 36 is found substantially in the center of this complementary window 20.

Les plots 25 du palastre 4 sont eux aussi déplacés par rapport au loquet 45.The studs 25 of the palastre 4 are also moved relative to the latch 45.

Ces plots 25 glissent contre la face interne 50 du loquet 45 jusqu'à se retrouver en regard des évidements 47 formés dans le loquet 45.These studs 25 slide against the internal face 50 of the latch 45 until they are found facing the recesses 47 formed in the latch 45.

Le loquet 45 est alors entraîné en translation dans le boîtier de fermoir 2 par l'action du deuxième organe de rappel 65 qui se détend.The latch 45 is then driven in translation in the clasp housing 2 by the action of the second return member 65 which relaxes.

Au surplus, le mouvement du palastre 4 entraîne le mouvement de ses pions d'entraînement 27, qui eux-mêmes se déplacent dans les encoches 62 des lames 60, écartant ainsi par pivotement les lames 60 les unes des autres.In addition, the movement of the palastre 4 causes the movement of its drive pins 27, which themselves move in the notches 62 of the blades 60, thus moving the blades 60 away from each other by pivoting.

Les pions d'entraînement 27 du palastre 4 se retrouvent sensiblement au centre des encoches 62 des lames 60, les lames 60 se retirent de la rainure 14 du doigt 11 et les sections 63 des contours des lames 60 déverrouillent le bouton d'assemblage 3.The drive pins 27 of the palastre 4 are found substantially in the center of the notches 62 of the blades 60, the blades 60 withdraw from the groove 14 of the finger 11 and the sections 63 of the contours of the blades 60 unlock the assembly button 3.

L'action du deuxième organe de rappel 65 sur le loquet 45 fait que ce dernier pousse le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 hors du boîtier de fermoir 2.The action of the second return member 65 on the latch 45 causes the latter to push the finger 11 of the assembly button 3 out of the clasp housing 2.

Les figures 12, 12A et 12B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme est dans sa configuration déverrouillée et que le palastre 4 a été tourné au maximum.The figures 12, 12A and 12B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism is in its unlocked configuration and the palastre 4 has been turned to the maximum.

Dans cette configuration déverrouillée du mécanisme, on voit que le palastre 4 peut encore être tourné toujours en s'écartant de sa première position stable, même après le retrait du bouton d'assemblage 3.In this unlocked configuration of the mechanism, it can be seen that the palastre 4 can still be rotated, always moving away from its first stable position, even after removing the assembly button 3.

Le premier organe de rappel 64 est encore mis en tension par le déplacement de la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 vis-à-vis de la deuxième tige d'attache 36 qui reste fixe.The first return member 64 is further tensioned by the movement of the first attachment rod 24 of the palastre 4 vis-à-vis the second attachment rod 36 which remains fixed.

La fenêtre complémentaire du palastre 4 est encore déplacée de sorte que la deuxième tige d'attache 36 se retrouve sensiblement à une extrémité opposée de cette fenêtre complémentaire.The complementary window of the palastre 4 is further moved so that the second fastening rod 36 is found substantially at an opposite end of this complementary window.

Les plots 25 du palastre 4 sont eux aussi déplacés par rapport au loquet 45.The studs 25 of the palastre 4 are also moved relative to the latch 45.

Ces plots 25 se déplacent le long des évidements 47 du loquet 45 et se rapprochent des échancrures 46.These pads 25 move along the recesses 47 of the latch 45 and move closer to the notches 46.

Au surplus, le mouvement du palastre 4 entraîne encore le mouvement de ses pions d'entraînement 27, qui eux-mêmes se déplacent dans les encoches 62 des lames 60 jusqu'à arriver à une extrémité opposée de ses dernières, écartant ainsi encore par pivotement les lames 60 les unes des autres.In addition, the movement of the palastre 4 further drives the movement of its drive pins 27, which themselves move in the notches 62 of the blades 60 until they reach an opposite end of the latter, thus further spreading by pivoting the blades 60 from each other.

Les figures 13, 13A et 13B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme passe de sa configuration déverrouillée à sa configuration verrouillée.The figures 13, 13A and 13B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism changes from its unlocked configuration to its locked configuration.

Le palastre 4 a été rappelé partiellement par le premier organe de rappel 64 vers sa première position stable.The palastre 4 has been partially recalled by the first return member 64 to its first stable position.

La première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 a été déplacée vis-à-vis de la deuxième tige d'attache 36 qui reste fixe, la fenêtre complémentaire 20 du palastre 4 a aussi été déplacée de sorte que la deuxième tige d'attache 36 se retrouve sensiblement entre l'extrémité opposé et le centre de cette fenêtre complémentaire 20.The first attachment rod 24 of the palastre 4 has been moved vis-à-vis the second attachment rod 36 which remains fixed, the complementary window 20 of the palastre 4 has also been moved so that the second attachment rod 36 is found substantially between the opposite end and the center of this complementary window 20.

Les plots 25 du palastre 4 ont eux aussi été déplacés par rapport au loquet 45 jusqu'à venir en butée contre des bords des évidements 47 du loquet 45.The pads 25 of the palastre 4 have also been moved relative to the latch 45 until it comes into abutment against the edges of the recesses 47 of the latch 45.

Au surplus, le retour du palastre 4 entraîne le mouvement de ses pions d'entraînement 27, qui eux-mêmes se déplacent dans les encoches 62 des lames 60 jusqu'à se trouver entre l'extrémité opposée et le centre de ses dernières. Les lames 60 pivotent et se rapprochent légèrement les unes des autres.In addition, the return of the palastre 4 causes the movement of its drive pins 27, which themselves move in the notches 62 of the blades 60 until they are between the opposite end and the center of the latter. The blades 60 pivot and move slightly closer to each other.

C'est donc la coopération des plots 25 du palastre avec les bords des évidements du loquet 45 qui permet d'immobiliser le palastre 4 et empêcher son retour dans sa première position stable, et qui permet aussi d'immobiliser les lames 60 et empêcher qu'elles ne se resserrent trop.It is therefore the cooperation of the studs 25 of the palastre with the edges of the recesses of the latch 45 which makes it possible to immobilize the palastre 4 and prevent its return to its first stable position, and which also makes it possible to immobilize the blades 60 and prevent qu 'they don't tighten too much.

Le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 est ensuite réintroduit dans le boîtier de fermoir 2.The finger 11 of the assembly button 3 is then reintroduced into the clasp housing 2.

L'extrémité libre 15 du doigt 11 vient en appui contre la face interne 50 du loquet 45 et pousse ce dernier à l'encontre du deuxième organe de rappel 65, qui se comprime.The free end 15 of the finger 11 bears against the internal face 50 of the latch 45 and pushes the latter against the second return member 65, which compresses.

Le loquet 45 est alors entraîné en rotation en direction du couvercle 5. Le loquet 45 s'écarte ainsi du palastre 4 jusqu'à interrompre la coopération entre les plots 25 du palastre 4 et les bords des évidements 47 du loquet 45.The latch 45 is then driven in rotation in the direction of the cover 5. The latch 45 thus moves away from the palastre 4 until the cooperation between the studs 25 of the palastre 4 and the edges of the recesses 47 of the latch 45 is interrupted.

Cette interruption peut se faire en deux temps grâce aux épaulements 48 ménagés au niveau des évidements 47.This interruption can be done in two stages thanks to the shoulders 48 formed at the level of the recesses 47.

Cela permet de s'assurer que le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 est suffisamment réintroduit dans le boîtier de fermoir 2This ensures that the finger 11 of the assembly button 3 is sufficiently reintroduced into the clasp housing 2

Le loquet 45 libère donc le palastre 4, qui est rappelé dans sa première position stable par l'action du premier organe de rappel 64, rapprochant ainsi les lames 60 les unes des autres jusqu'à rentrer dans la rainure 14 du doigt 11 et ainsi verrouiller le bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le boîtier de fermoir 2. On se retrouve alors dans la configuration des 10, 10A et 10B.The latch 45 therefore releases the palastre 4, which is returned to its first stable position by the action of the first return member 64, thus bringing the blades 60 together until they enter the groove 14 of the finger 11 and thus lock the assembly button 3 in the clasp housing 2. We then find ourselves in the configuration of 10, 10A and 10B.

Le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 est particulièrement commode en ce qu'il permet d'ouvrir l'article par simple rotation du palastre 4, le bouton d'assemblage 3 étant automatiquement libéré du boîtier de fermoir 2 par l'action du loquet 45 et le mécanisme étant ainsi en configuration déverrouillée.The opening and closing device 1 is particularly convenient in that it makes it possible to open the article by simply rotating the palastre 4, the assembly button 3 being automatically released from the clasp housing 2 by the action of the latch 45 and the mechanism thus being in the unlocked configuration.

Au surplus, le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 est particulièrement commode en ce qu'il permet de fermer l'article par simple introduction du bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le boîtier de fermoir 2, sans avoir à actionner le palastre 4.In addition, the opening and closing device 1 is particularly convenient in that it makes it possible to close the article by simply inserting the assembly button 3 into the clasp housing 2, without having to actuate the palastre 4.

En effet, la translation du loquet 45 lorsque le palastre 4 est entraîné en rotation depuis sa première position stable vers sa deuxième position permet de maintenir le palastre 4 dans sa deuxième position, dans laquelle le bouton d'assemblage 3 peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit. Au surplus, puisque le palastre 4 entraine les lames 60 dans une position où elles libèrent le bouton d'assemblage 3, ce dernier reste dans cette position et il peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit.Indeed, the translation of the latch 45 when the palastre 4 is rotated from its first stable position to its second position makes it possible to maintain the palastre 4 in its second position, in which the assembly button 3 can easily be withdrawn and / or introduced. In addition, since the palastre 4 drives the blades 60 in a position where they release the button assembly 3, the latter remains in this position and it can easily be removed and / or inserted.

Les figures 14 à 21B illustrent une variante de réalisation du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture décrit ci-dessus. Les mêmes références numériques ont été utilisées pour les éléments similaires.The figures 14 to 21B illustrate an alternative embodiment of the opening and closing device described above. The same reference numbers have been used for similar elements.

Le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture illustré sur les figures 14 à 21B diffère structurellement de celui illustré sur les figures 1 à 13B essentiellement en ce que le doigt du bouton d'assemblage a une forme différente, en ce que ce doigt est bloqué directement par le palastre, en ce que la deuxième tige d'attache vient d'une pièce rapportée dans le palastre, et en ce que le deuxième organe de rappel est monté sur un pion lui-même introduit dans un manchon, entre le loquet et le couvercle.The opening and closing device shown on figures 14 to 21B structurally differs from that shown on the figures 1 to 13B essentially in that the finger of the assembly button has a different shape, in that this finger is blocked directly by the palastre, in that the second attachment rod comes from a part inserted in the palastre, and in this that the second return member is mounted on a pin itself inserted into a sleeve, between the latch and the cover.

En particulier, les figures 14 et 15 sont similaires aux figures 1 et 2 et illustrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1, qui comporte le boîtier de fermoir 2 pourvu du mécanisme admettant une configuration verrouillée dans laquelle l'article peut être fermé et une configuration déverrouillée dans laquelle l'article peut être ouvert, et le bouton d'assemblage 3 configuré pour coopérer avec le boîtier de fermoir 2.In particular, the figures 14 and 15 are similar to figures 1 and 2 and illustrate the opening and closing device 1, which comprises the clasp housing 2 provided with the mechanism admitting a locked configuration in which the article can be closed and an unlocked configuration in which the article can be opened, and the button assembly 3 configured to cooperate with the clasp housing 2.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement de la variante du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 et la coopération des pièces qu'il comporte, en référence aux figures 18, 18A, 18B à 20, 20A, 20B.We will now describe the operation of the variant of the opening and closing device 1 and the cooperation of the parts that it comprises, with reference to figures 18, 18A , 18B to 20 , 20A, 20B .

Les figures 18, 18A et 18B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme est dans sa configuration verrouillée. Dans cette configuration verrouillée du mécanisme, le palastre 4 est dans sa première position stable, le bouton d'assemblage 3 est introduit dans le boîtier de fermoir 2, avec les dents 82 du palastre 4 qui sont au moins partiellement logées dans la rainure 14 du doigt 11 et les méplats 80 du doigt 11 qui sont disposés sensiblement perpendiculairement aux dents 82 du palastre 4, verrouillant ainsi le bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le palastre 4. Le premier organe de rappel 64 n'est pas sollicité et a ses points d'attache 66 assujettis mécaniquement respectivement à la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 et à la deuxième tige d'attache 84 de la couronne 81. Le deuxième organe de rappel 65 est comprimé entre la base du pion support 88 et le fond du manchon 89, lequel est partiellement introduit dans le trou 91 ménagé dans le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3, et le loquet 45 repose, par une face interne 50 opposée à sa face externe 49, sur les plots 25 du palastre 4. Le loquet 45 est en outre immobilisé en rotation par les premières cheminées 31 du couvercle 5 qui se trouvent dans les échancrures 46 du loquet 45.
Les figures 19, 19A et 19B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme passe de sa configuration verrouillée à sa configuration déverrouillée. Le palastre 4 est entraîné en rotation depuis sa première position stable vers sa deuxième position. Le premier organe de rappel 64 est mis en tension par le déplacement de la première tige d'attache 24 du palastre 4 vis-à-vis de la deuxième tige d'attache 84 qui reste fixe. Les plots 25 du palastre 4 sont eux aussi déplacés par rapport au loquet 45. Ces plots 25 glissent contre la face interne 50 du loquet 45 jusqu'à se retrouver en regard des évidements 47 formés dans le loquet 45. Le loquet 45 est alors entraîné en translation dans le boîtier de fermoir 2 par l'action du deuxième organe de rappel 65 qui se détend. En particulier, le loquet 45 est entraîné par la collerette 90 du manchon 89. Au surplus, le mouvement du palastre 4 entraîne le déplacement des dents 82 par rapport aux méplats 80 du doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3. Les méplats 80 sont alors sensiblement alignés avec les dents 82 et le bouton d'assemblage 3 peut être libéré. L'action du deuxième organe de rappel 65 sur le loquet 45 fait que ce dernier pousse le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 hors du boîtier de fermoir 2.
The figures 18, 18A and 18B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism is in its locked configuration. In this locked configuration of the mechanism, the palastre 4 is in its first stable position, the assembly button 3 is introduced into the clasp housing 2, with the teeth 82 of the palastre 4 which are at least partially housed in the groove 14 of the finger 11 and the flats 80 of the finger 11 which are arranged substantially perpendicular to the teeth 82 of the palastre 4, thus locking the assembly button 3 in the palastre 4. The first return member 64 is not stressed and has its points of. fastener 66 mechanically secured respectively to the first fastening rod 24 of the palastre 4 and to the second fastening rod 84 of the crown 81. The second return member 65 is compressed between the base of the support pin 88 and the bottom of the sleeve 89, which is partially introduced into the hole 91 made in the finger 11 of the assembly button 3, and the latch 45 rests, by an internal face 50 opposite its external face 49, on the studs 25 of the palastre 4. The latch 45 is out re immobilized in rotation by the first chimneys 31 of the cover 5 which are located in the notches 46 of the latch 45.
The figures 19, 19A and 19B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism changes from its locked configuration to its unlocked configuration. The palastre 4 is driven in rotation from its first stable position to its second position. The first return member 64 is tensioned by the movement of the first attachment rod 24 of the palastre 4 vis-à-vis the second attachment rod 84 which remains fixed. The pads 25 of the palastre 4 are themselves also moved relative to the latch 45. These pads 25 slide against the internal face 50 of the latch 45 until they are facing the recesses 47 formed in the latch 45. The latch 45 is then driven. in translation in the clasp housing 2 by the action of the second return member 65 which relaxes. In particular, the latch 45 is driven by the collar 90 of the sleeve 89. In addition, the movement of the palastre 4 causes the movement of the teeth 82 relative to the flats 80 of the finger 11 of the assembly button 3. The flats 80 are then substantially aligned with the teeth 82 and the assembly button 3 can be released. The action of the second return member 65 on the latch 45 causes the latter to push the finger 11 of the assembly button 3 out of the clasp housing 2.

Les figures 20, 20A et 20B montrent le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 lorsque le mécanisme passe de sa configuration déverrouillée à sa configuration verrouillée. Le doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3 est réintroduit dans le boîtier de fermoir 2. L'extrémité libre 15 du doigt 11 vient en appui contre la face interne 50 du loquet 45 et pousse ce dernier à l'encontre du deuxième organe de rappel 65, qui se comprime dans le manchon 89. Le loquet 45 est alors entraîné en translation en direction du couvercle 5. Le loquet 45 s'écarte ainsi du palastre 4 jusqu'à faire sortir les plots 25 du palastre 4 des évidements 47 du loquet 45. Ce retrait libère donc le palastre 4, qui est rappelé dans sa première position stable par l'action du premier organe de rappel 64, remettant les dents 82 du palastre 4 dans une position sensiblement perpendiculairement aux méplats 80 du doigt 11 du bouton d'assemblage 3, de sorte à verrouiller le bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le boîtier de fermoir 2. On se retrouve alors dans la configuration des 19, 19A et 19B.The figures 20, 20A and 20B show the opening and closing device 1 when the mechanism changes from its unlocked configuration to its locked configuration. The finger 11 of the assembly button 3 is reintroduced into the clasp housing 2. The free end 15 of the finger 11 bears against the internal face 50 of the latch 45 and pushes the latter against the second return member. 65, which compresses in the sleeve 89. The latch 45 is then driven in translation in the direction of the cover 5. The latch 45 thus moves away from the palastre 4 until the studs 25 of the palastre 4 come out of the recesses 47 of the latch. 45. This withdrawal therefore frees the palastre 4, which is returned to its first stable position by the action of the first return member 64, placing the teeth 82 of the palastre 4 in a position substantially perpendicular to the flats 80 of the finger 11 of the button d 'assembly 3, so as to lock the assembly button 3 in the clasp housing 2. We then find ourselves in the configuration of 19, 19A and 19B.

La variante du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 est aussi particulièrement commode en ce qu'elle permet d'ouvrir l'article par simple rotation du palastre 4, le bouton d'assemblage 3 étant automatiquement libéré du boîtier de fermoir 2 par l'action du loquet 45 et le mécanisme étant ainsi en configuration déverrouillée. Au surplus, la variante du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture 1 est particulièrement commode en ce qu'elle permet de fermer l'article par simple introduction du bouton d'assemblage 3 dans le boîtier de fermoir 2, sans avoir à actionner le palastre 4. En effet, la translation du loquet 45 lorsque le palastre 4 est entraîné en rotation depuis sa première position stable vers sa deuxième position permet de maintenir le palastre 4 dans sa deuxième position, dans laquelle le bouton d'assemblage 3 peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit. Au surplus, puisque le palastre 4 entraine directement les dents 82 qu'il comporte dans une position où elles libèrent le bouton d'assemblage 3, ce dernier reste dans cette position et il peut aisément être retiré et/ou introduit.The variant of the opening and closing device 1 is also particularly convenient in that it allows the article to be opened by simply rotating the palastre 4, the assembly button 3 being automatically released from the clasp housing 2 by the action of the latch 45 and the mechanism thus being in the unlocked configuration. In addition, the variant of the opening and closing device 1 is particularly convenient in that it allows the article to be closed by simply inserting the assembly button 3 into the clasp housing 2, without having to actuate the palastre. 4. Indeed, the translation of the latch 45 when the palastre 4 is driven in rotation from its first stable position to its second position makes it possible to maintain the palastre 4 in its second position, in which the assembly button 3 can easily be withdrawn. and / or introduced.
