Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention appartient au domaine des équipements d'ouvrants, par exemple d'ouvrants de menuiseries. Notamment, l'invention concerne un kit d'élément de préhension d'un ouvrant et un élément de préhension formé par ledit kit.The present invention belongs to the field of opening equipment, for example joinery openings. In particular, the invention relates to a kit of element for gripping an opening and a gripping element formed by said kit.

Le terme « menuiserie » désigne ici une porte, une fenêtre, une porte-fenêtre, etc, destinée à l'équipement d'un bâtiment.The term “joinery” designates here a door, a window, a French window, etc., intended for the equipment of a building.

On note dès à présent que l'élément de préhension peut désigner une poignée, un bâton de maréchal ou tout autre organe permettant la manoeuvre d'un ouvrant.It is noted now that the gripping element can designate a handle, a farrier's stick or any other member allowing the operation of an opening.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les éléments de préhension d'un ouvrant d'une menuiserie, d'un mobilier ou de quelconque autre objet sont généralement réalisés d'un seul tenant, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont fabriqués de sorte à former une pièce monobloc.The gripping elements of an opening of joinery, furniture or any other object are generally made in one piece, that is to say they are manufactured so as to form a single piece. .

Cet aspect pose des difficultés dans la mesure où l'évolution de la conception d'un élément de préhension implique forcément un changement dans le processus de fabrication dudit élément pouvant être relativement important, tel qu'un changement des étapes de fabrication, du mode de production et/ou des outils de production.This aspect poses difficulties insofar as the evolution of the design of a gripping element necessarily implies a change in the manufacturing process of said element which can be relatively significant, such as a change in the manufacturing steps, the method of production and/or production tools.

L'évolution de la conception d'un élément de préhension est notamment nécessaire lors du renouvellement d'une gamme de produits, par exemple pour accorder l'aspect esthétique de l'élément de préhension avec celui de l'ouvrant.The evolution of the design of a gripping element is particularly necessary during the renewal of a range of products, for example to match the aesthetic appearance of the gripping element with that of the opening.

Par exemple, dans le cadre d'un élément de préhension d'un ouvrant de menuiserie, une gamme de produit peut être développée spécifiquement pour être associée à une gamme de châssis d'ouvrant de la menuiserie.For example, in the context of a gripping element for a carpentry sash, a product range can be developed specifically to be associated with a range of carpentry sash frames.

Il existe une solution identifiée dans l'état de la technique consistant à appliquer sur l'élément de préhension un élément d'habillage venant épouser sa forme, par exemple afin d'en changer visuellement la couleur, la texture, la forme extérieure...There is a solution identified in the state of the art consisting in applying a covering element to the gripping element that matches its shape, for example in order to visually change its color, texture, external shape. .

La fixation de cet élément d'habillage sur l'élément de préhension est par exemple réalisée par collage ou par emboitage élastique.The fixing of this covering element on the gripping element is for example carried out by gluing or by elastic interlocking.

Toutefois cette solution n'est pas convenable car elle pose des problèmes de fiabilité. En effet, les éléments de préhension étant souvent très fréquemment sollicités, la fixation de l'élément d'habillage peut se détériorer et conduire à une désolidarisation de l'élément d'habillage et de l'élément de préhension.However, this solution is not suitable because it poses reliability problems. Indeed, since the gripping elements are often very frequently stressed, the fixing of the covering element can deteriorate and lead to a separation of the covering element and of the gripping element.

Par ailleurs, il existe une difficulté dans l'intégration de l'élément d'habillage sur l'élément de préhension si la forme de ce dernier est complexe, dans la mesure où l'élément d'habillage doit épouser la forme de l'élément de préhension. Pour mettre en oeuvre cette solution de l'état de l'art, l'élément de préhension doit donc nécessairement présenter une forme géométrique simple.Furthermore, there is a difficulty in integrating the covering element on the gripping element if the shape of the latter is complex, insofar as the covering element must match the shape of the gripping element. To implement this state-of-the-art solution, the gripping element must therefore necessarily have a simple geometric shape.

Aucun des systèmes actuels ne permet de répondre au besoin de proposer un élément de préhension modulable, c'est-à-dire dont l'aspect esthétique peut être modifié, présentant une durée de vie importante.None of the current systems can meet the need to provide a modular gripping element, that is to say whose aesthetic appearance can be modified, with a long life.

Dans le document DE 646 970 un kit d'élément de préhension selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit. Aussi le document FR 3 042 809 présente un kit d'élément de préhension qui fait partie de l'art antérieur,In the document FROM 646 970 a gripping element kit according to the preamble of claim 1 is described. Also the document FR 3 042 809 presents a gripping element kit which is part of the prior art,

De telles dispositions permettent avantageusement de pouvoir modifier l'organe de jonction et/ou l'organe de préhension, pour faire évoluer l'aspect esthétique de l'élément de préhension.Such arrangements advantageously make it possible to modify the junction member and/or the gripping member, in order to change the aesthetic appearance of the gripping element.

Notamment, la présente invention permet avantageusement de conserver l'aspect esthétique de l'organe de jonction tout en faisant évoluer celui de l'organe de préhension et inversement, par exemple en modifiant le matériau constituant lesdits organes.In particular, the present invention advantageously makes it possible to retain the aesthetic appearance of the junction member while changing that of the gripping member and vice versa, for example by modifying the material constituting said members.

Cette disposition permet avantageusement de conserver tout ou partie des moyens de production et ainsi de maitriser les coûts de production des éléments de préhension.This arrangement advantageously makes it possible to retain all or part of the means of production and thus to control the production costs of the gripping elements.

Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement à l'organe de fixation, en s'introduisant à travers les cavités, d'aligner les organes de jonction et de préhension l'un avec l'autre de façon à ce qu'ils soient systématiquement positionnés de façon adéquat pour leur assemblage.This characteristic advantageously allows the fixing member, by introducing itself through the cavities, to align the joining and gripping members with each other so that they are systematically positioned in an adequate manner. for their assembly.

Ainsi, l'élément de préhension peut être formé de façon fiable.Thus, the gripping member can be formed reliably.

Selon les caractéristiques de l'invention, l'organe de fixation est formé par un boulon comprenant une vis et un écrou doté d'une embase, et dans lequel l'organe de préhension et l'organe de jonction comprennent une cavité traversante à travers desquelles ladite vis est adaptée à être engagée pour être fixée à l'écrou, l'embase étant adaptée à venir en appui contre l'organe de préhension. L'écrou comporte un corps à l'intérieur duquel un trou taraudé borgne est réalisé. Le trou taraudé est réalisé depuis une première extrémité du corps, dite extrémité libre. Le trou taraudé borgne est destiné à recevoir la vis. Le corps de l'écrou est lié à l'embase au niveau d'une deuxième extrémité.According to the characteristics of the invention, the fixing member is formed by a bolt comprising a screw and a nut provided with a base, and in which the gripping member and the joining member comprise a through cavity through which said screw is adapted to be engaged in order to be fixed to the nut, the base being adapted to bear against the gripping member. The nut has a body inside which a blind tapped hole is made. The tapped hole is made from a first end of the body, called the free end. The blind tapped hole is intended to receive the screw. The nut body is bonded to the base at a second end.

Plus particulièrement, l'embase de l'écrou est destinée à obturer la cavité de l'organe de préhension.More particularly, the base of the nut is intended to seal the cavity of the gripping member.

Avantageusement, grâce à cette caractéristique, la résistance aux contraintes mécaniques de l'élément de préhension est améliorée, de même que la résistance à la fatigue mécanique.Advantageously, thanks to this characteristic, the resistance to mechanical stresses of the gripping element is improved, as well as the resistance to mechanical fatigue.

En outre, cette caractéristique participe à assurer la mise en position adéquate des organes de liaison et de préhension pour former l'élément de liaison.In addition, this feature participates in ensuring the proper positioning of the connecting and gripping members to form the connecting element.

Avantageusement encore, grâce à cette caractéristique, la vis est logée à l'intérieur de la cavité de l'organe de jonction et est dissimulée par l'embase de l'écrou, de sorte que cette dernière est invisible et inaccessible.Advantageously again, thanks to this feature, the screw is housed inside the cavity of the junction member and is concealed by the base of the nut, so that the latter is invisible and inaccessible.

Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'écrou est adapté à être engagé dans la cavité de l'organe de préhension ou de l'organe de jonction et à coopérer par complémentarité de forme de sorte à l'immobiliser en rotation.In particular embodiments, the nut is adapted to be engaged in the cavity of the gripping member or of the junction member and to cooperate by form complementarity so as to immobilize it in rotation.

Selon l'invention, l'organe de jonction comporte un chambrage dans lequel l'écrou est destiné à se loger.According to the invention, the junction member comprises a recess in which the nut is intended to be housed.

Cette caractéristique permet le guidage de l'écrou et de faciliter sa mise en position pour former l'élément de préhension.This feature allows the nut to be guided and facilitates its positioning to form the gripping element.

Le chambrage est destiné à recevoir une extrémité libre du corps de l'écrou, le chambrage et l'extrémité libre du corps de l'écrou étant de forme complémentaire de sorte à permettre une immobilisation en rotation de l'écrou relativement à l'organe de jonction, notamment lors du serrage du boulon, c'est-à-dire lors du serrage de la vis dans le corps de l'écrou.The recess is intended to receive a free end of the body of the nut, the recess and the free end of the body of the nut being of complementary shape so as to allow immobilization in rotation of the nut relative to the member junction, especially when tightening the bolt, that is to say when tightening the screw in the body of the nut.

L'organe de préhension et l'organe de jonction comprennent une cavité traversante, et dans lequel l'organe de fixation est formé par un boulon comprenant une vis et un écrou. Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'écrou est constitué par l'organe de jonction lequel comportant sur la paroi interne de sa cavité un filetage adapté à recevoir en coopération le filet de la vis, ladite vis étant adaptée à être engagée à travers la cavité de l'organe de préhension pour être fixée à l'écrou.The gripping member and the joining member comprise a through-cavity, and in which the fixing member is formed by a bolt comprising a screw and a nut. In particular embodiments, the nut is constituted by the junction member which comprises on the internal wall of its cavity a thread adapted to receive in cooperation the thread of the screw, said screw being adapted to be engaged through the cavity of the gripper to be fixed to the nut.

Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, les cavités des organes de jonction et de préhension débouchent à travers les profils de coopération mâle-femelle.In particular embodiments, the cavities of the joining and gripping members emerge through the male-female cooperation profiles.

Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'un des profils de coopération mâle-femelle, dit « profil mâle », comporte une semelle depuis une face de laquelle s'étend une nervure, et dans lequel l'autre profil, dit « profil femelle », comporte un renfoncement s'étendant depuis une face d'extrémité de l'organe de jonction, ladite nervure et ledit renfoncement comportant chacun deux flancs parallèles reliés entre eux par une surface d'extrémité, les flancs et la surface d'extrémité de la nervure étant respectivement destinés à être agencés en regard des flancs et de la surface d'extrémité du renfoncement.In particular embodiments, one of the male-female cooperation profiles, called "male profile", comprises a sole from one face of which extends a rib, and in which the other profile, called "female profile ", comprises a recess extending from an end face of the junction member, said rib and said recess each comprising two parallel flanks interconnected by an end surface, the flanks and the end surface of the rib being respectively intended to be arranged facing the sides and the end surface of the recess.

La présente invention concerne en outre, selon un autre objet, un élément de préhension d'un ouvrant, comprenant un kit tel que précédemment décrit, dans lequel l'organe de préhension coopère avec l'organe de jonction, l'organe de fixation liant mécaniquement lesdits organes de préhension et de jonction l'un avec l'autre.The present invention further relates, according to another object, to a gripping element for an opening, comprising a kit as described above, in which the gripping member cooperates with the joining member, the fixing member mechanically linking said gripping and joining members with each other.

Description de l'inventionDescription of the invention

La présente description est donnée à titre non limitatif, chaque caractéristique d'un exemple de réalisation pouvant être combinée à toute autre caractéristique de tout autre exemple de réalisation de manière avantageuse.This description is given on a non-limiting basis, each characteristic of an exemplary embodiment being able to be combined with any other characteristic of any other exemplary embodiment in an advantageous manner.

Tel qu'indiqué précédemment, la présente invention concerne un kit d'élément de préhension 10 d'un ouvrant, par exemple d'un ouvrant d'une menuiserie, d'un ouvrant d'un mobilier ou de quelconque autre objet, et un élément de préhension 10 formé par ledit kit.As indicated above, the present invention relates to a kit of element 10 for gripping an opening, for example an opening of a carpentry, an opening of furniture or any other object, and a gripping element 10 formed by said kit.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 à 4, le kit comporte un organe de jonction 20 et un organe de préhension 30 destinés à coopérer l'un avec l'autre, ainsi qu'un organe de fixation 60 adapté à lier mécaniquement ensemble l'organe de jonction 20 et l'organe de préhension 30, c'est-à-dire sans degré de mobilité relatif.As shown by the figures 1 to 4 , the kit comprises a junction member 20 and a gripping member 30 intended to cooperate with each other, as well as a fixing member 60 adapted to mechanically link together the junction member 20 and the prehension 30, that is to say without relative degree of mobility.

Tel que visible sur les figures 1 à 3, l'organe de jonction 20 présente un corps de forme allongée défini par une surface externe s'étendant entre deux extrémités longitudinales par l'une desquelles, appelée « première extrémité » 21 dans le présent texte, il est destiné à être fixé à l'ouvrant comme décrit plus en détail ci-après, l'organe de jonction 20 étant destiné à être fixé à l'organe de préhension 30 par son autre extrémité longitudinale, appelée « seconde extrémité » 22 dans le présent texte.As seen on the figures 1 to 3 , the junction member 20 has an elongated body defined by an outer surface extending between two longitudinal ends by one of which, called "first end" 21 in the present text, it is intended to be fixed to the opening as described in more detail below, the junction member 20 being intended to be fixed to the gripping member 30 by its other longitudinal end, called “second end” 22 in the present text.

Dans un exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, le corps de l'organe de jonction 20 présente une section transversale de forme rectangulaire, et peut, dans d'autres variantes (non représentées sur les figures) présenter une section transversale de forme circulaire, ou de toute autre forme appropriée, telle qu'une forme polygonale.In a preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figures 1 to 3 , the body of the junction member 20 has a rectangular cross-section, and may, in other variants (not shown in the figures) have a circular cross-section, or any other suitable shape, such as a polygonal shape.

Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention représentée sur les figures 1 à 4, l'organe de préhension 30 comporte un corps destiné à être manipulé par un utilisateur lors de l'utilisation de l'élément de préhension 10, présentant une forme également allongée s'étendant entre une extrémité dite « extrémité de jonction » 31 et une extrémité dite « extrémité distale » 32.Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figures 1 to 4 , the gripping member 30 comprises a body intended to be manipulated by a user when using the gripping element 10, also having an elongated shape extending between an end called the "junction end" 31 and a extremity called "distal extremity" 32.

Sur les figures 1 à 4, le corps de l'organe de préhension 30 présente une forme allongée, mais il peut, dans d'autres exemples de réalisation de l'invention, présenter toute autre forme appropriée à la manipulation d'un utilisateur, telle qu'une forme de révolution.On the figures 1 to 4 , the body of the gripping member 30 has an elongated shape, but it may, in other embodiments of the invention, have any other shape suitable for manipulation by a user, such as a shape of revolution.

L'organe de jonction 20 et l'organe de préhension 30 comprennent respectivement des profils de coopération mâle-femelle 40, 50 de formes complémentaires configurés pour interdire, lorsqu'ils coopèrent l'un avec l'autre, au moins toute mobilité relative en rotation.The junction member 20 and the gripping member 30 respectively comprise male-female cooperation profiles 40, 50 of complementary shapes configured to prohibit, when they cooperate with each other, at least any relative mobility in spin.

Il y a lieu de noter que l'un ou l'autre des organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30 peut comprendre un profil de coopération mâle, dit « profil mâle » 50 dans la suite du texte, ou un profil de coopération femelle, dit « profil femelle » 40 dans la suite du texte.It should be noted that one or the other of the junction 20 and gripping 30 members can comprise a male cooperation profile, called “male profile” 50 in the following text, or a female cooperation profile, says “female profile” 40 in the rest of the text.

Toutefois, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, l'organe de jonction 20 présente un profil femelle 40 à sa seconde extrémité 22, et l'organe de préhension 30 présente un profil mâle 50, par exemple au niveau de son extrémité de jonction 31.However, in the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figures 1 to 4 , the junction member 20 has a female profile 40 at its second end 22, and the gripping member 30 has a male profile 50, for example at its junction end 31.

La coopération du profil mâle 50 et du profil femelle 40 permet d'éliminer toute mobilité en rotation de l'organe de jonction 20 relativement à l'organe de préhension 30, lorsque l'élément de préhension 10 est formé à partir du kit, dans la mesure où leurs formes respectives permettent la liaison en rotation desdits organes l'un à l'autre.The cooperation of the male profile 50 and the female profile 40 makes it possible to eliminate any mobility in rotation of the joining member 20 relative to the gripping member 30, when the gripping element 10 is formed from the kit, in insofar as their respective shapes allow the connection in rotation of said members to one another.

Plus particulièrement, le profil mâle 50 comporte une semelle 51 reliée au corps de l'organe de préhension 30. Depuis une face de la semelle 51, dite « face intrados » 510 s'étend en épaisseur une nervure 52, jusqu'à une face sommitale, comportant une portion rectiligne 520 par laquelle elle est reliée, par l'une de ses extrémités, à l'extrémité de jonction 31 du corps de l'organe de préhension 30, ladite portion rectiligne 520 étant prolongée, à son extrémité opposée, par une portion terminale 521.More particularly, the male profile 50 comprises a sole 51 connected to the body of the gripping member 30. top, comprising a rectilinear portion 520 by which it is connected, by one of its ends, to the junction end 31 of the body of the gripping member 30, said rectilinear portion 520 being extended, at its opposite end, by a terminal portion 521.

Avantageusement, dans un exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le profil mâle 50 présente une section longitudinale comportant une forme d'un arc de cercle, comme le montrent les figures 2 et 4.Advantageously, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the male profile 50 has a longitudinal section comprising the shape of an arc of a circle, as shown by the figure 2 And 4 .

Également dans un exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, et comme illustré en particulier sur la figure 4, la portion rectiligne 520 est délimitée par deux flancs latéraux sensiblement parallèles et la portion terminale 521 de la nervure 52 est délimitée par une paroi d'extrémité présentant une section transversale de la forme d'un arc de cercle, ladite paroi d'extrémité reliant les flancs latéraux l'un à l'autre.Also in a preferred embodiment of the invention, and as illustrated in particular in the figure 4 , the rectilinear portion 520 is delimited by two substantially parallel lateral flanks and the end portion 521 of the rib 52 is delimited by an end wall having a cross section in the shape of an arc of a circle, said end wall connecting the side flanks to each other.

Autrement dit et comme visible sur la figure 4, la section longitudinale de la nervure 52 présente une forme demi-oblongue.In other words, and as visible on the figure 4 , the longitudinal section of the rib 52 has a semi-oblong shape.

Dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, le profil femelle 40 comporte un renfoncement 41 s'étendant depuis une paroi de la seconde extrémité 22 de l'organe de jonction 20 jusqu'à une paroi de fond 411.In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figure 2 And 3 , the female profile 40 has a recess 41 extending from a wall of the second end 22 of the junction member 20 to a bottom wall 411.

Le renfoncement 41 présente une forme sensiblement complémentaire à celle de la nervure 52, aux jeux mécaniques près. Il comporte par conséquent une portion rectiligne 410 délimitée par deux flancs latéraux en vis-à-vis. La portion rectiligne 410 du renfoncement 41 forme une ouverture à l'une de ses extrémités, comme le montre la figure 2, dans le sens où elle est destinée à déboucher en regard de la surface externe du corps de l'organe de préhension 30 lorsque l'élément de préhension 10 est formé.The recess 41 has a shape substantially complementary to that of the rib 52, except for mechanical play. It therefore comprises a rectilinear portion 410 delimited by two side flanks facing each other. The rectilinear portion 410 of the recess 41 forms an opening at one of its ends, as shown in the figure 2 , in the sense that it is intended to emerge opposite the outer surface of the body of the gripping member 30 when the gripping element 10 is formed.

En outre, avantageusement, le profil femelle 40, de manière analogue au profil mâle 50, présente dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, une portion dont la section longitudinale comporte une forme d'un arc de cercle.In addition, advantageously, the female profile 40, similarly to the male profile 50, has in the preferred embodiment of the invention, a portion whose longitudinal section has the shape of an arc of a circle.

Plus précisément, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, la portion rectiligne 410 du renfoncement 41 comporte à son extrémité opposée à l'ouverture qu'elle forme, une portion terminale 412 délimitée par une paroi d'extrémité dont la section transversale est de la forme d'un arc de cercle, ladite paroi d'extrémité reliant les flancs latéraux l'un à l'autre.More specifically, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the rectilinear portion 410 of the recess 41 comprises, at its end opposite the opening that it forms, an end portion 412 delimited by an end wall whose section transverse is in the shape of an arc of a circle, said end wall connecting the side flanks to each other.

Le renfoncement 41 est ainsi délimité par un arceau de matière, présentant une surface externe correspondant à celle du corps de l'organe de jonction 20 et une surface interne correspondant aux flancs latéraux et à la paroi d'extrémité du renfoncement 41.The recess 41 is thus delimited by an arch of material, having an outer surface corresponding to that of the body of the junction member 20 and an inner surface corresponding to the side flanks and to the end wall of the recess 41.

Lorsque le profil mâle 50 coopère avec le profil femelle 40 pour former l'élément de préhension 10, la surface sommitale de la nervure 52 est destinée à être agencée en appui contre la paroi de fond 411 du renfoncement 41, les flancs latéraux de la nervure 52 sont destinés à être agencés respectivement en regard des flancs latéraux du renfoncement 41, et les parois d'extrémité respectives de la nervure 52 et du renfoncement 41 sont également destinés à se faire face.When the male profile 50 cooperates with the female profile 40 to form the gripping element 10, the top surface of the rib 52 is intended to be arranged to bear against the bottom wall 411 of the recess 41, the side flanks of the rib 52 are intended to be arranged opposite the lateral sides of the recess 41 respectively, and the respective end walls of the rib 52 and of the recess 41 are also intended to face each other.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, lorsque l'élément de préhension 10 est assemblé, les organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30 sont liés l'un à l'autre par une liaison mécanique du type encastrement, c'est-à-dire sans degré de liberté relatif.Thanks to these characteristics, when the gripping element 10 is assembled, the junction 20 and gripping 30 members are linked to each other by a mechanical connection of the embedding type, that is to say without degree of relative freedom.

En outre, ces caractéristiques participent à assurer une absence de jeu mécanique une fois l'élément de préhension 10 est assemblé.In addition, these characteristics participate in ensuring an absence of mechanical play once the gripping element 10 is assembled.

Avantageusement encore, ces caractéristiques jouent un rôle de détrompage lors de la coopération de l'organe de jonction 20 avec l'organe de préhension 30.Advantageously again, these characteristics play a keying role during the cooperation of the junction member 20 with the gripping member 30.

Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, les profils de coopération mâle-femelle 40, 50 présentent avantageusement respectivement une section longitudinale comportant une forme d'un arc de cercle.Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the male-female cooperation profiles 40, 50 advantageously respectively have a longitudinal section comprising the shape of an arc of a circle.

Plus spécifiquement, sur les figures 2 et 4, la section transversale de la surface sommitale de la nervure 52 est de la forme d'un arc de cercle dont la courbure est destinée à être dirigée vers l'organe de jonction 20 et la section transversale de la paroi de fond 411 du renfoncement 41 est également de la forme d'un arc de cercle, à la différence près que sa courbure est destinée à être dirigée dans un sens opposé à l'organe de préhension 30.More specifically, on the figure 2 And 4 , the cross section of the top surface of the rib 52 is in the shape of an arc of a circle, the curvature of which is intended to be directed towards the junction member 20 and the cross section of the bottom wall 411 of the recess 41 is also in the shape of an arc of a circle, with the difference that its curvature is intended to be directed in a direction opposite to the gripping member 30.

Ainsi, le profil mâle 50 et le profil femelle 40 présentent des formes comportant respectivement, selon deux plans orthogonaux, des sections présentant la forme d'un arc de cercle, et plus particulièrement selon une section longitudinale et une section transversale.Thus, the male profile 50 and the female profile 40 have shapes comprising respectively, along two orthogonal planes, sections having the shape of an arc of a circle, and more particularly along a longitudinal section and a cross section.

Ces caractéristiques permettent d'une part d'augmenter la résistance de l'assemblage à la fatigue mécanique, et donc d'assurer encore la fiabilité de la liaison dans le temps, et d'autre part, de pouvoir augmenter la rapidité de mise en oeuvre de la coopération de l'organe de jonction 20 avec l'organe de préhension 30, c'est-à-dire, l'assemblage de l'élément de préhension 10.These characteristics make it possible, on the one hand, to increase the resistance of the assembly to mechanical fatigue, and therefore to further ensure the reliability of the connection over time, and on the other hand, to be able to increase the speed of work of the cooperation of the junction member 20 with the gripping member 30, that is to say, the assembly of the gripping element 10.

Alternativement, les sections longitudinale et transversale des profils de coopération mâle-femelle 40, 50 peuvent respectivement présenter d'autres formes complémentaires, notamment une forme trapézoïdale, une forme en V, c'est-à-dire une forme triangulaire, ou toutes autres formes adaptées à coopérer l'une avec l'autre de sorte à interdire toute mobilité relative en rotation des organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30.Alternatively, the longitudinal and transverse sections of the male-female cooperation profiles 40, 50 may respectively have other complementary shapes, in particular a trapezoidal shape, a V shape, that is to say a triangular shape, or any other shapes adapted to cooperate with each other so as to prevent any relative rotational mobility of the joining 20 and gripping 30 members.

Par ailleurs et compte-tenu de ce qui précède, afin de former l'élément de préhension 10, l'organe de fixation 60 est configuré de sorte à interdire toute mobilité relative en translation des organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30, une fois que les profils de coopération mâle-femelle 40, 50 coopèrent l'un avec l'autre.Furthermore and taking into account the foregoing, in order to form the gripping element 10, the fixing member 60 is configured so as to prevent any mobility relative in translation of the junction 20 and gripping 30 members, once the male-female cooperation profiles 40, 50 cooperate with each other.

A cet effet, comme le montre notamment la figure 3, l'organe de jonction 20 comprend une cavité 23 traversante s'étendant entre sa première et sa seconde extrémité 21 et 22 et étant définie par une paroi interne. Avantageusement, l'organe de préhension 30 comprend également une cavité 33 traversante, destinée à être agencée dans le prolongement de celle de l'organe de jonction 20 lorsque l'élément de préhension 10 est assemblé.To this end, as shown in particular by the picture 3 , the junction member 20 comprises a through cavity 23 extending between its first and its second end 21 and 22 and being defined by an internal wall. Advantageously, the gripping member 30 also comprises a through cavity 33, intended to be arranged in the extension of that of the junction member 20 when the gripping element 10 is assembled.

Les cavités 23 et 33 débouchent respectivement à travers les profil mâle 50 et femelle 40 des organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30 et sont destinées à recevoir l'organe de fixation 60.The cavities 23 and 33 open respectively through the male 50 and female 40 profiles of the junction 20 and gripping 30 members and are intended to receive the fixing member 60.

Selon les caractéristiques de la présente invention, l'organe de fixation 60 est formé par un boulon comprenant une vis 61 et un écrou 62.According to the characteristics of the present invention, the fixing member 60 is formed by a bolt comprising a screw 61 and a nut 62.

L'écrou 62 comporte un corps et une embase 620, comme illustré sur la figure 2.The nut 62 comprises a body and a base 620, as illustrated in the figure 2 .

Préférentiellement, l'écrou 62 est doté d'un corps s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal et comprenant le long dudit axe longitudinal, un trou taraudé borgne, préférentiellement centré dans ledit corps. Le trou taraudé borgne est réalisé depuis une première extrémité du corps, dite extrémité libre. Le trou taraudé borgne est de forme complémentaire à la vis 61. La vis est destinée à être vissée dans le trou taraudé borgne.Preferably, the nut 62 has a body extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising along said longitudinal axis, a blind tapped hole, preferably centered in said body. The blind tapped hole is made from a first end of the body, called the free end. The blind tapped hole is of complementary shape to the screw 61. The screw is intended to be screwed into the blind tapped hole.

Le corps de l'écrou 62 s'étend avantageusement jusqu'à une embase 620 formant un épaulement avec ledit corps. En d'autres termes, le corps de l'écrou est lié, au niveau d'une deuxième extrémité, à l'embase. Le corps de l'écrou 62 est destiné à être engagé dans la cavité 33 de l'organe de préhension 30, de sorte que l'embase 620 soit en butée contre ledit organe de préhension 30.The body of the nut 62 advantageously extends as far as a base 620 forming a shoulder with said body. In other words, the body of the nut is linked, at a second end, to the base. The body of the nut 62 is intended to be engaged in the cavity 33 of the gripping member 30, so that the base 620 is in abutment against said gripping member 30.

On comprend ici que l'épaulement formé sert avantageusement de butée en translation de l'écrou 62 contre l'organe de préhension 30 et plus particulièrement contre une face extrados 511 de la semelle 51, opposée à la face intrados 510.It is understood here that the shoulder formed advantageously serves as a stop in translation of the nut 62 against the gripping member 30 and more particularly against an extrados face 511 of the sole 51, opposite to the intrados face 510.

L'embase 620 est également avantageuse dans la mesure où elle permet de dissimuler la vis 61 en obturant la cavité 33 de l'organe de préhension 30.The base 620 is also advantageous insofar as it makes it possible to conceal the screw 61 by closing the cavity 33 of the gripping member 30.

Avantageusement, la face extrados 511 de la semelle 51 forme un épaulement avec une paroi attenante de l'extrémité de jonction 31 du corps de l'organe de préhension 30, de sorte à générer un dégagement par rapport à ladite extrémité. Ce dégagement est destiné à recevoir en coopération l'embase 620 de l'écrou 62, ladite embase 620 et ledit dégagement présentant préférentiellement des formes complémentaires, comme illustré sur les figures 1 à 3.Advantageously, the extrados face 511 of the sole 51 forms a shoulder with an adjoining wall of the junction end 31 of the body of the gripping member 30, so as to generate a clearance with respect to said end. This clearance is intended to receive in cooperation the base 620 of the nut 62, said base 620 and said clearance preferably having shapes complementary, as illustrated in the figures 1 to 3 .

Avantageusement, le dégagement et l'embase 620 présentent une forme parallélépipédique.Advantageously, the recess and the base 620 have a parallelepipedal shape.

Dans d'autres exemples de réalisation non représentés sur les figures, l'embase 620 et le dégagement peuvent présenter d'autres formes, par exemple circulaire.In other exemplary embodiments not shown in the figures, the base 620 and the clearance can have other shapes, for example circular.

Préférentiellement, comme le montre particulièrement la vue en coupe de la figure 3, le corps de l'écrou 62 est, par son extrémité libre, destiné à être engagé dans une portion de la cavité 23 de l'organe de jonction 20.Preferably, as particularly shown in the sectional view of the picture 3 , the body of the nut 62 is, via its free end, intended to be engaged in a portion of the cavity 23 of the junction member 20.

De façon particulièrement avantageuse, le corps de l'écrou 62 est configuré pour coopérer par complémentarité de forme avec ladite portion de la cavité 23 de sorte à l'immobiliser en rotation relativement aux organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30.Particularly advantageously, the body of the nut 62 is configured to cooperate by form complementarity with said portion of the cavity 23 so as to immobilize it in rotation relative to the junction 20 and gripping 30 members.

Avantageusement, les formes complémentaires du corps de l'écrou 62 et de la cavité 23 de l'organe de jonction 20, plus précisément de la portion de cavité, et/ou les formes complémentaires du dégagement et de l'embase 620, peuvent être telles que l'écrou 62 est immobilisé en rotation lorsque qu'il coopère avec l'organe de jonction 20 et l'organe de préhension 30 de sorte à former l'élément de préhension 10.Advantageously, the complementary shapes of the body of the nut 62 and of the cavity 23 of the junction member 20, more precisely of the cavity portion, and/or the complementary shapes of the recess and of the base 620, can be such that the nut 62 is immobilized in rotation when it cooperates with the joining member 20 and the gripping member 30 so as to form the gripping element 10.

Selon les caractéristiques de l'invention, la cavité 23 de l'organe de jonction 20 comporte un chambrage 230 destiné à loger l'extrémité libre du corps de l'écrou 62, le chambrage 230 et ladite extrémité libre étant de forme complémentaire. Le chambrage forme la portion de cavité précitée. Le chambrage 230 est préférentiellement réalisé depuis la paroi de fond 411 de l'organe de jonction. Cette caractéristique permet d'assurer encore la liaison mécanique des efforts susceptibles d'être exercés sur l'organe de préhension 30 par un utilisateur à l'ouvrant. De plus, la forme complémentaire de l'extrémité libre du corps de l'écrou 62 et celle du chambrage 230, sont telles que l'écrou 62 est immobilisé en rotation, relativement à l'organe de jonction 20, lorsque qu'il coopère avec ledit organe de jonction, notamment au moment du serrage du boulon, c'est-à-dire, au moment du vissage de la vis 61 dans le corps de l'écrou 62.According to the characteristics of the invention, the cavity 23 of the junction member 20 comprises a recess 230 intended to house the free end of the body of the nut 62, the recess 230 and said free end being of complementary shape. The recess forms the aforementioned cavity portion. The recess 230 is preferably made from the bottom wall 411 of the junction member. This characteristic makes it possible to further ensure the mechanical connection of the forces likely to be exerted on the gripping member 30 by a user to the opening. In addition, the complementary shape of the free end of the body of the nut 62 and that of the recess 230 are such that the nut 62 is immobilized in rotation, relative to the junction member 20, when it cooperates with said junction member, in particular when the bolt is tightened, that is to say, when the screw 61 is screwed into the body of the nut 62.

Par exemple, le chambrage 230 et l'écrou 62 peuvent présenter des sections droites de formes polygonales, notamment carré, comme illustré sur la figure 2, identiques aux jeux mécaniques près.For example, the recess 230 and the nut 62 may have straight sections of polygonal shapes, in particular square, as illustrated in the picture 2 , identical to the mechanical games except.

On comprend ici que le chambrage 230 est orienté du côté de la seconde extrémité 22 de l'organe de jonction 20, et débouche sur la paroi de fond 411 du renfoncement 41 comme représenté sur la figure 3. Le chambrage 230 est préférentiellement un perçage à fond plat.It is understood here that the recess 230 is oriented on the side of the second end 22 of the junction member 20, and opens onto the bottom wall 411 of the recess 41 as shown on the picture 3 . The recess 230 is preferably a flat-bottomed bore.

Les figures 2 et 3 montrent que, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, la vis 61 est destinée à être engagée dans la cavité 23 par la première extrémité 21 de l'organe de jonction 20.THE figure 2 And 3 show that, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the screw 61 is intended to be engaged in the cavity 23 by the first end 21 of the junction member 20.

Afin d'accueillir la tête de vis, la cavité 23 de l'organe de jonction 20 comporte un second chambrage 231, et plus particulièrement une fraisure, orienté du côté de la première extrémité 21 de l'organe de jonction 20.In order to accommodate the screw head, the cavity 23 of the junction member 20 comprises a second recess 231, and more particularly a countersink, oriented on the side of the first end 21 of the junction member 20.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la résistance mécanique de l'élément de préhension 10 est améliorée, et plus globalement la résistance à la fatigue, ce qui participe à augmenter la fiabilité dudit élément de préhension 10.Thanks to these characteristics, the mechanical resistance of the gripping element 10 is improved, and more generally the resistance to fatigue, which contributes to increasing the reliability of said gripping element 10.

La fixation des organes de jonction 20 et de préhension 30 par le boulon engagé au sein des cavités 23 et 33 permet d'assurer un alignement et un centrage adéquat des pièces constituant l'élément de préhension 10.The fixing of the junction 20 and gripping 30 members by the bolt engaged within the cavities 23 and 33 makes it possible to ensure proper alignment and centering of the parts constituting the gripping element 10.

Les deux chambrages 230 et 231 de l'organe de jonction 20 définissent une collerette interne s'étendant radialement depuis ladite paroi interne de la cavité 23.The two recesses 230 and 231 of the junction member 20 define an internal flange extending radially from said internal wall of the cavity 23.

On comprend ici que cette collerette interne est soumise à des efforts de serrage du boulon lorsque la poignée est assemblée.It is understood here that this internal flange is subjected to tightening forces of the bolt when the handle is assembled.

Compte-tenu de ce qui a précédemment été décrit et comme il peut être déduit de la lecture de la vue en coupe de la figure 2, les efforts de serrage mis en jeux lors de la formation de l'élément de préhension 10, par serrage du boulon, sont les suivants : l'embase 620 de l'écrou 62 est destiné à appliquer directement des efforts contre la face extrados 511 de la semelle 51 de l'organe de préhension 30, lesdits efforts tendant à plaquer l'organe de préhension 30 contre l'organe de jonction 20 ; la vis 61, par sa tête, étant destinée à soumettre la collerette interne à des contraintes de cisaillement.Considering what has previously been described and as can be deduced from reading the sectional view of the figure 2 , the clamping forces brought into play during the formation of the gripping element 10, by tightening the bolt, are as follows: the base 620 of the nut 62 is intended to apply forces directly against the extrados face 511 of the sole 51 of the gripping member 30, said forces tending to press the gripping member 30 against the junction member 20; the screw 61, by its head, being intended to subject the internal collar to shear stresses.

Il résulte de ces dispositions une absence de jeu mécanique, et ainsi un maintien en fixation garanti des organes de jonction 20, de préhension 30 et de fixation 60, les uns avec les autres. Ceci participe également à augmenter la résistance à la fatigue de l'élément de préhension 10 et ainsi, de préserver sa durée de vie.The result of these arrangements is an absence of mechanical play, and thus a guaranteed hold in attachment of the joining 20, gripping 30 and attachment 60 members with each other. This also participates in increasing the fatigue resistance of the gripping element 10 and thus, in preserving its service life.

Dans un deuxième exemple de réalisation de la présente invention, l'écrou peut être formé par l'organe de jonction, dans le sens où ce dernier peut être taraudé de sorte à comporter, sur la paroi interne de sa cavité, un filetage adapté à recevoir en coopération le filet de la vis.In a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the nut may be formed by the junction member, in the sense that the latter may be tapped so as to comprise, on the internal wall of its cavity, a thread adapted to cooperatively receive the thread of the screw.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, la vis est destinée à être engagée à travers la cavité de l'organe de préhension, de sorte que la tête de vis prenne appui contre la semelle de l'organe de préhension.In this exemplary embodiment, the screw is intended to be engaged through the cavity of the gripping member, so that the screw head bears against the sole of the gripping member.

Avantageusement, la tête de vis peut être prévue pour se loger dans un chambrage, ou une fraisure, réalisé sur la face extrados de ladite semelle.Advantageously, the screw head can be provided to be housed in a recess, or a countersink, made on the extrados face of said sole.

Dans le deuxième exemple de réalisation, on comprend donc que la vis est destinée à être introduite par la seconde extrémité de l'organe de liaison.In the second exemplary embodiment, it is therefore understood that the screw is intended to be introduced through the second end of the connecting member.

Lorsque la vis est vissée dans l'écrou constitué par l'organe de jonction, elle est destinée à lier mécaniquement l'organe de préhension avec l'organe de jonction, lesdits organes de jonction et de préhension comprenant, tel que décrit dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, des profils de coopération mâle-femelle de formes complémentaires.When the screw is screwed into the nut constituted by the joining member, it is intended to mechanically link the gripping member with the joining member, said joining and gripping members comprising, as described in preferred embodiment of the invention, male-female cooperation profiles of complementary shapes.

Avantageusement, le kit d'élément de préhension peut comporter, en outre, un cache d'habillage destiné à être fixé contre la face extrados de semelle, par exemple par collage ou par emboitage élastique, afin de masquer la tête de vis. Lorsque l'élément de préhension est formé par le kit selon le deuxième exemple de réalisation de l'invention, il peut donc être conforme à la représentation de la figure 1.Advantageously, the gripping element kit may also comprise a trim cover intended to be fixed against the extrados face of the sole, for example by gluing or by elastic interlocking, in order to hide the screw head. When the gripping element is formed by the kit according to the second exemplary embodiment of the invention, it can therefore conform to the representation of the figure 1 .
