Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of closing devices and safety locks for doors and hatches; in greater detail, the present invention relates to the technical field of locks for doors, tailgates, and hatches, in particular for motor vehicles, such as vans, caravans, motorhomes and the like, provided with one or more spaced apart closing points.
  • devices In the field of closing devices and safety locks for doors and hatches, devices are available in the market which generally comprise a lock body, or mechanism adapted drive two remote locks, integrally applied to the inner side of the door or hatch concerned, and an actuation handle mounted at the lock body or mechanism on the outer side of the door or hatch. The movement of the external handle is transmitted to the internal components which release the lock.
  • Said handle is further generally provided with a cylinder, or similar key locking means, which makes locking with a key possible.
  • the invention achieves the object with a closing device comprising a handle block adapted to be integrally fastened on the outer side of a door, said handle block comprising a handle and a mechanism adapted to transform the motion of said handle into one or more translational motions for actuating one or more closing blocks.
  • the mechanism comprises a first element for transferring the motion from said external handle to a control member of said closing blocks, which first motion transfer element is provided with three operating positions, in which:
  • the handle block comprises an anchoring lever which may be actuated on the side opposite to the external handle when the lock is mounted on the door, for example by means of a rod or a tie rod associated with an internal handle and/or a key cylinder accessible from the outer side, and a second element for transferring the motion from the anchoring lever to the first motion transfer element, the anchoring lever being configured to take on three operating positions, in which:
  • opening the door may be controlled also from the inside, by using a remote handle with respect to the handle block and engaging a safety lock that may or may not be deactivated from the outside by means of the key cylinder, thus further increasing the flexibility and security of use.
  • the engagement and/or disengagement of the safety lock may be electrically controlled through a motor integrated in the handle block.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises:
  • Said reversible engagement means 14 firmly remain anchored to the frame in the closing condition and pass into the opening condition by actuating the rods or the cables 12, while the inverse passage, i.e., from the opening position to the closing position of said reversible engagement means 14, is obtained by closing the door without needing to act on the handle.
  • the reversible engagement means 14 of the closing blocks 13 comprise an abutment or a plate to promote the engagement of said door 15 with the frame.
  • the mechanism of the handle block 10 is therefore adapted to transform the motion of handle 11 into two translational motions having opposite directions, transmitted by said rods or cables 12.
  • the handle block 10 is arranged centrally with respect to the height of door 15, close to the long side of door 15 itself.
  • the two closing blocks 13 are placed on opposite sides with respect to the handle block 10.
  • the rods or cables 12 are arranged parallel to the long side of door 15.
  • the external handle 11 preferably is of the retractable type and acts like a hinged lever so as to rotate on an axis parallel to the plane of door 15 so as to translate the thrust member on a plane parallel to the plane of door 15.
  • the thrust member (shown in Figures 2 to 4 ) is depicted by an arm 18 provided with a transverse protrusion 19 adapted to interfere with a corresponding extension 20 of the release lever, indicated by 21 in the drawings.
  • the external handle 11 may consist of a single block with the motion transformation mechanism of the handle itself. This allows the handle to be mounted in conjunction with the handle block, with apparent greater assembly simplicity.
  • the handle block 10 may optionally comprise a key cylinder (not shown in the drawings) adapted to place the lock in secure status, as shown below.
  • the internal handle 36 comprises a gripping end 136 adapted to actuate a rod or a tie rod 17 according to methods known to those skilled in the art.
  • An example of commercial product is represented by article 1130 - handle for "ghost" internal lock - in the Applicant's catalog.
  • the opening movement of the external handle 11 or the internal handle 36 actuates the control member 16 inside the handle block 10, which is fastened at a first end of the two rods or cables 12, which pushes the two rods or cables 12 to translate in opposite directions so as to act, by means of the second end thereof, on the closing blocks 13 and release the engagement members 14 from the frame of door 15.
  • the internal handle 36 moves the anchoring lever 22 which is coupled by means of a gear transmission 23 to an arm 24 which acts like a crank.
  • the release lever 21 has a slotted end 25 in which a pin 26 slides, associated with crank 24 so as to provide a connecting rod/crank coupling with travel of the connecting rod 21 released from the travel of crank 24 when the anchoring lever 22 is in the standby position shown in Figure 2 .
  • the standby position is a position in which the driving rods or cables 12 of the closing blocks 13 are positioned so that the engagement members 14 of the closing blocks 13 are engaged in door 15 in closing position.
  • slot 25 in lever 21 ensures that the release lever 21 may translate both due to a rotation of crank 24 caused by the movement of the anchoring lever 22 from the standby position to the opening position, and due to a translation caused on extension 20 of the release lever 21 by the abutment of the external handle 11 with the thrust member 19 when the external handle 11 is actuated to open.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the lock in opening position following a movement of the internal handle ( Figure 3 ) and of the external handle ( Figure 4 ), respectively.
  • the release lever 21 is in the same position in both cases. This position is kept so long as the door remains open and the engagement members 14 are released from the frame of door 15; indeed, with the door open, the engagement members 14 keep the cables or rods 12 in traction position and prevent the control member 16 from returning to the standby position.
  • the passage from the standby position to the opening position is determined by the rotation of the anchoring lever 22 by the internal handle 36, which ensures the pin 26 of crank 24 drags the release lever 21 in movement up to reaching the situation indicated in Figure 3 .
  • the anchoring lever 22 may be moved into the secure position both by acting on the internal handle 36 and on the key cylinder, when present.
  • the release lever 21 advantageously has such a shape to interfere with a blocking element when caused to move from the opening position to the secure position so that the direct passage from the opening position to the secure position is prevented unless the standby position is taken on first.
  • a blocking element comprises a tooth 27 (shown in Figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the release lever 21 has such a shape to interfere with said tooth 27 when the release lever 21 is caused to rotate from a stroke-end position for opening the lock into secure position.
  • control member 16 serves the function of transforming the motion of the release lever 21, from the standby position to the opening position and vice versa, into a translational motion of the driving rods or cables 12 of the closing blocks 13.
  • Each rod or cable 12 is associated, at a first end, with the control member 16 so as to move from a position of maximum extension to a position of minimum extension, and vice versa.
  • control member comprises a centrally pivoted lever 16 with each of the two ends associated with a rod or tie rod 12 arranged at opposite sides of the handle block 10 so that both rods or cables 12 translate in the same direction, but with opposite orientation so as to control a pair of closing blocks 13 of the door when the handle block 10 is mounted in median position with respect to said closing blocks 13.
  • the release lever 21 is hinged to the pivoted lever 16 of the control member. Thereby, the motion of the release lever 21 is transferred to the control member and therefore, to the closing blocks by means of the rods or cables 12.
  • the internal handle 36 moves the anchoring lever 22 which, through the transmission gears 23, actuates the release lever 21, which in turn rotates the control lever 16, also called cable lever in the present description.
  • the pulling of the cables 12 moves the closing blocks which open the door ( Figure 3 ).
  • the release lever 21 is designed to pass said tooth 27 only if it is in the standby position ( Figure 2 ), which will occur again once door 15 is closed. This contrivance advantageously prevents the engagement of the safety lock when the door is open.
