Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

La présente invention vise un dispositif d'actionnement et de verrouillage d'une porte. La mise en oeuvre de l'invention est notamment utile à l'ouverture, la fermeture et au verrouillage d'une porte battante sans contact de la main de l'utilisateur avec la porte ou avec le dispositif d'actionnement et de verrouillage.The present invention relates to a device for actuating and locking a door. The implementation of the invention is particularly useful for opening, closing and locking a swing door without contact of the user's hand with the door or with the actuation and locking device.

État de la techniqueState of the art

Afin de limiter la transmission de germes par le contact des mains avec les poignées ou surfaces de portes il est souhaitable de limiter au maximum ces contacts.In order to limit the transmission of germs through hand contact with door handles or surfaces, it is desirable to limit this contact as much as possible.

L'art antérieur connait les portes automatiques dont l'ouverture est actionnée par un capteur de mouvement ou par un capteur de poids lors de la détection de la présence d'un utilisateur. L'installation de ce type de porte automatique est toutefois coûteuse et nécessite un entretien lourd.The prior art knows automatic doors whose opening is actuated by a movement sensor or by a weight sensor when detecting the presence of a user. However, installing this type of automatic door is expensive and requires heavy maintenance.

L'art antérieur connait les portes mobiles autour d'un battant sur un arc de 180 degrés environ et que l'utilisateur peut pousser au moyen de son pied ou de son épaule. Ce type de porte présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter une place importante pour son installation, car la porte ne peut être que poussée.The prior art knows movable doors around a leaf over an arc of approximately 180 degrees and which the user can push using his foot or his shoulder. This type of door has the disadvantage of requiring a significant amount of space for its installation, because the door can only be pushed.

De plus, il n'existe pas de système pratique d'utilisation et de mise en place permettant le verrouillage d'une porte sans contact entre les mains de l'utilisateur et la poignée ou les autres surfaces de la porte.In addition, there is no practical system of use and installation allowing locking of a door without contact between the hands of the user and the handle or other surfaces of the door.

On connait le brevet de Corée du Sud KR 101 184 217 qui divulgue un verrou pour porte comportant un verrou comportant une barre configurée pour s'engager dans un logement solidaire de l'huisserie abritant la porte et dans lequel la barre du verrou coulisse dans un boîtier fixable à la porte et comporte un élément de connexion ayant un prolongement positionné à proximité du pied de la porte et configuré pour être tiré par le pied de l'utilisateur.We know the South Korean patent KR 101 184 217 which discloses a lock for a door comprising a lock comprising a bar configured to engage in a housing secured to the frame housing the door and in which the bar of the lock slides in a housing fixable to the door and comprises a connection element having an extension positioned near the foot of the door and configured to be pulled by the user's foot.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

La présente invention vise à remédier à tout ou partie de ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy all or part of these drawbacks.

À cet effet, selon un premier aspect, l'invention vise un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte, qui comporte :

  • un verrou comportant une barre configurée pour s'engager dans un logement solidaire de l'huisserie abritant la porte et
  • un moyen poussoir solidaire de la barre ;
  • le verrou étant positionné sur la porte à une hauteur par rapport au pied de la porte comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres, de sorte que la barre du verrou
  • peut être engagée ou désengagée dans le logement solidaire de l'huisserie par une pression du genou d'un utilisateur contre le moyen poussoir ;
  • dans lequel la barre du verrou coulisse dans une platine solidaire d'une plaque de tirage fixée à la porte et
  • dans lequel la plaque de tirage comporte un prolongement positionné à proximité du pied de la porte et configuré pour être tiré par le pied ou la partie inférieure de la jambe de l'utilisateur.
To this end, according to a first aspect, the invention relates to a device for locking a door, which comprises:
  • a lock comprising a bar configured to engage in a housing secured to the frame housing the door and
  • a pusher means secured to the bar;
  • the lock being positioned on the door at a height relative to the foot of the door of between thirty and eighty centimeters, so that the lock bar
  • can be engaged or disengaged in the housing secured to the frame by pressing a user's knee against the pusher means;
  • in which the lock bar slides in a plate secured to a pull plate fixed to the door and
  • wherein the pull plate has an extension positioned near the foot of the door and configured to be pulled by the user's foot or lower leg.

Grâce à ces dispositions, la porte peut être verrouillée ou déverrouillée par un utilisateur sans nécessiter de saisir un verrou ou une poignée ou de toucher la surface d'une porte avec la main. L'évitement du contact direct entre la main de l'utilisateur et la porte ou la poignée permet d'éviter l'infection par contact par une bactérie, un virus ou tout autre germe. Les mains étant connues comme principal vecteur d'infection en raison de leur contact très fréquent avec le visage et avec toute sorte d'objets, le dispositif de verrouillage améliore l'hygiène et réduit le risque d'infection entre utilisateurs d'une même porte.With these provisions, the door can be locked or unlocked by a user without requiring grasping a latch or handle or touching the surface of a door with a hand. Avoiding direct contact between the user's hand and the door or handle helps prevent infection by contact with bacteria, viruses or any other germs. Hands being known as the main vector of infection due to their very frequent contact with the face and with all kinds of objects, the locking device improves hygiene and reduces the risk of infection between users of the same door .

Le dispositif de verrouillage objet de l'invention est adapté à être mis en oeuvre sur tout type de porte. Il est toutefois particulièrement adapté à une mise en oeuvre sur les portes dont l'usage est fréquent, par exemple dans des locaux d'entreprise ou dans des lieux publics et sur les portes présentes dans des lieux source de contaminations connues, tels que les portes de sanitaires.The locking device which is the subject of the invention is suitable for use on any type of door. However, it is particularly suitable for use on doors which are used frequently, for example in business premises or in public places and on doors present in places known to be sources of contamination, such as doors sanitary facilities.

Grâce à la barre du verrou, qui coulisse dans une platine solidaire d'une plaque de tirage fixée à la porte, et au prolongement positionné à proximité du pied de la porte et configuré pour être tiré par le pied ou la partie inférieure de la jambe de l'utilisateur, la porte peut être tirée par l'utilisateur sans contact entre ses mains et la porte. De plus, la plaque de tirage allonge la durée de vie du dispositif en répartissant sur la surface de la plaque de tirage les forces appliquées par l'utilisateur sur le dispositif en poussée et en traction.Thanks to the lock bar, which slides in a plate secured to a pull plate fixed to the door, and to the extension positioned near the foot of the door and configured to be pulled by the foot or the lower part of the leg of the user, the door can be pulled by the user without contact between their hands and the door. In addition, the pulling plate extends the life of the device by distributing over the surface of the pulling plate the forces applied by the user to the device in pushing and pulling.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la porte est enserrée entre la plaque de tirage et une contre-plaque reliée à la plaque de tirage par des moyens d'attache.In embodiments, the door is sandwiched between the pull plate and a counterplate connected to the pull plate by attachment means.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'ensemble formé par la plaque de tirage, la contre-plaque et la porte est rendue plus solide et durable.Thanks to these arrangements, the assembly formed by the pull plate, the counterplate and the door is made more solid and durable.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le dispositif comporte un trou traversant aligné avec un relief de préhension positionné sur la barre, de sorte que le verrou peut être engagé ou désengagé par une pression exercée au moyen d'un outil contre le relief de préhension, depuis le côté de la porte opposé à celui où est positionné le moyen poussoir du verrou.In embodiments, the device has a through hole aligned with a gripping relief positioned on the bar, such that the lock can be engaged or disengaged by pressure exerted by means of a tool against the relief gripping, from the side of the door opposite to that where the push means of the lock is positioned.

Grâce à ces dispositions, la porte peut être verrouillée ou déverrouillée depuis le côté de la porte opposé à celui où est positionné le moyen poussoir du verrou. Ces dispositions sont notamment utiles pour déverrouiller une porte dans le cas d'une urgence ou pour verrouiller une porte lorsqu'il est souhaitable d'en interdire l'accès. Dans des modes de réalisation, l'extrémité libre du moyen poussoir est espacée d'au moins quatre centimètres de la porte par une tigelle. Préférentiellement, l'extrémité libre du moyen poussoir est espacée d'au moins six centimètres, par exemple huit centimètres. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'application d'une pression par le genou de l'utilisateur contre le moyen poussoir est facilitée.Thanks to these arrangements, the door can be locked or unlocked from the side of the door opposite to that where the push means of the lock is positioned. These arrangements are particularly useful for unlocking a door in the event of an emergency or for locking a door when it is desirable to prevent access. In embodiments, the free end of the pusher means is spaced at least four centimeters from the door by a rod. Preferably, the free end of the pusher means is spaced at least six centimeters apart, for example eight centimeters. Thanks to these arrangements, the application of pressure by the user's knee against the pusher means is facilitated.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le dispositif comporte une pédale solidaire d'une tige actionnant un pêne, de sorte que le pêne peut être désengagé d'une gâche par une pression du pied d'un utilisateur contre la pédale.In embodiments, the device includes a pedal integral with a rod operating a bolt, so that the bolt can be disengaged from a striker by pressing a user's foot against the pedal.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'utilisation d'une poignée pour ouvrir la porte n'est plus nécessaire et le désengagement du pêne et l'ouverture de la porte sont réalisables par la seule utilisation du pied de l'utilisateur contre la pédale.Thanks to these arrangements, the use of a handle to open the door is no longer necessary and the disengagement of the bolt and the opening of the door are possible by the sole use of the user's foot against the pedal.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la pédale comporte un moyen de rappel élastique de la pédale permettant le rappel du pêne vers une position de repos.In embodiments, the pedal comprises an elastic pedal return means allowing the bolt to be returned to a rest position.

Grâce à ces dispositions, de façon analogue au fonctionnement habituel d'une poignée de porte, le pêne se réengage dans la gâche de la porte lorsque la gâche et le pêne sont alignés entre elles et que l'utilisateur relâche la pédale.Thanks to these arrangements, similar to the usual operation of a door handle, the bolt re-engages in the door striker when the striker and the bolt are aligned with each other and the user releases the pedal.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la pédale est reliée au pêne par un câble.In embodiments, the pedal is connected to the bolt by a cable.

Grâce à ces dispositions, le dispositif est particulièrement léger et les liaisons entre une pédale et le pêne peuvent être intégrées dans le corps de la porte.Thanks to these arrangements, the device is particularly light and the connections between a pedal and the bolt can be integrated into the body of the door.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la liaison entre la pédale et le pêne est configurée pour qu'un mouvement du pêne ne provoque pas de mouvement de la pédale. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'ouverture de la porte par une action manuelle sur la poignée ne risque pas de provoquer un coincement de la porte si un objet se trouve sous la pédale.In embodiments, the connection between the pedal and the bolt is configured so that movement of the bolt does not cause movement of the pedal. Thanks to these arrangements, opening the door by manual action on the handle does not risk causing the door to jam if an object is under the pedal.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la pédale comporte un boudin amortisseur.In embodiments, the pedal includes a shock absorber flange.

Ce boudin permet d'éviter de marquer le mur lorsque la pédale le touche.This cushion avoids marking the wall when the pedal touches it.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le prolongement comporte un boudin amortisseur. Ce boudin permet d'éviter de marquer le mur lorsque le prolongement le touche.In embodiments, the extension includes a shock-absorbing flange. This sausage avoids marking the wall when the extension touches it.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la face de la porte destinée à être poussée est équipée d'une contre plaque permettant ainsi d'ouvrir la porte en poussant avec le pied.In some embodiments, the face of the door intended to be pushed is equipped with a counter plate thus allowing the door to be opened by pushing with the foot.

Selon un deuxième aspect, la présente invention vise une porte comportant un dispositif objet de l'invention.According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a door comprising a device which is the subject of the invention.

Dans des modes de réalisation, au moins une plaque de tirage est intégrée dans le corps de la porte et n'est pas visible de l'extérieur de la porte, hormis son prolongement, lorsque la porte est fermée.In embodiments, at least one pull plate is integrated into the body of the door and is not visible from the outside of the door, apart from its extension, when the door is closed.

Selon un troisième aspect, la présente invention vise un procédé de pose d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte objet de l'invention, qui comporte les étapes de :

  • dégondage de la porte de son huisserie,
  • découpage d'une rainure au moyen d'un gabarit muni d'une fenêtre de dimensions correspondantes aux dimensions de la platine d'un verrou, à une hauteur par rapport au pied de la porte comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres,
  • positionnement de la platine du verrou dans la rainure et fixation d'une plaque de tirage avec une contre-plaque de part et d'autre de la porte,
  • positionnement d'un prolongement de la plaque de tirage à proximité du pied de la porte, prolongement configuré pour être tiré par le pied ou la partie inférieure de la jambe de l'utilisateur,
  • pose de la porte dans l'huisserie,
  • perçage d'un logement dans l'huisserie, mise en place d'une gâche ou montage d'un crampon, à la hauteur du verrou et
  • insertion de la barre du verrou et montage d'un moyen poussoir sur la barre du verrou, la barre du verrou coulissant dans la platine solidaire de la plaque de tirage.
According to a third aspect, the present invention aims at a method of installing a device for locking a door which is the subject of the invention, which comprises the steps of:
  • unhinging the door from its frame,
  • cutting a groove using a template fitted with a window of dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the plate of a lock, at a height relative to the foot of the door of between thirty and eighty centimeters,
  • positioning the lock plate in the groove and fixing a pull plate with a counterplate on either side of the door,
  • positioning of an extension of the pull plate near the foot of the door, extension configured to be pulled by the foot or the lower part of the leg of the user,
  • installation of the door in the frame,
  • drilling a housing in the frame, fitting a striker or fitting a clamp, at the height of the lock and
  • insertion of the lock bar and mounting of a push means on the lock bar, the lock bar sliding in the plate secured to the pulling plate.

Grâce à ces dispositions, le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention peut être installé sur tout type de porte déjà en place sans difficulté. Ces dispositions présentent aussi l'avantage de permettre l'adaptation d'un ensemble existant de portes plutôt que leur remplacement en vue de répondre à une exigence sanitaire.Thanks to these provisions, the locking device according to the invention can be installed on any type of door already in place without difficulty. These arrangements also have the advantage of allowing the adaptation of an existing set of doors rather than their replacement in order to meet a health requirement.

Les avantages, buts et caractéristiques particulières de la porte objet de l'invention et du procédé objet de l'invention étant similaires à ceux du dispositif objet de l'invention, ils ne sont pas rappelés ici.The advantages, aims and particular characteristics of the door which is the subject of the invention and the method which is the subject of the invention being similar to those of the device which is the subject of the invention, they are not recalled here.

Description des modes de réalisationDescription of embodiments

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

On note, dès à présent, que les figures sont à l'échelle mais que les échelles des différentes figures peuvent être différentes.We note, from now on, that the figures are to scale but that the scales of the different figures may be different.

On observe, sur les figures 1 et 2, une vue schématique d'un premier mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif 100 de verrouillage objet de l'invention.We observe, on the figures 1 and 2 , a schematic view of a first particular embodiment of the locking device 100 which is the subject of the invention.

Le dispositif 100 de verrouillage permet le verrouillage d'une porte 30 abritée dans une huisserie 80, plus communément appelée cadre. Le dispositif 100 comporte un verrou 40 positionné à une hauteur comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres du sol, c'est-à-dire du bord le plus bas de la porte 30 et, préférentiellement, entre quarante et quatre-vingts centimètres du sol, et plus préférentiellement, entre quarante et soixante-dix centimètres du sol. Préférentiellement le verrou 40 est positionné à une hauteur comprise entre quarante-cinq et cinquante-cinq centimètres, par exemple à cinquante-cinq centimètres du sol.The locking device 100 allows the locking of a door 30 housed in a frame 80, more commonly called a frame. The device 100 comprises a lock 40 positioned at a height of between thirty and eighty centimeters from the ground, that is to say from the lowest edge of the door 30 and, preferably, between forty and eighty centimeters from the ground, and more preferably, between forty and seventy centimeters from the ground. Preferably the lock 40 is positioned at a height of between forty-five and fifty-five centimeters, for example fifty-five centimeters from the ground.

Le verrou 40 est décrit en regard des figures 3 et 4 et 7 à 9.The lock 40 is described with reference to the figures 3 and 4 And 7 to 9 .

Le dispositif 100 comporte une plaque de tirage 45 comportant une surface plane apposée contre une face de la porte 30 et une contre-plaque 48 comportant une surface plane apposée contre l'autre face de la porte 30. La plaque de tirage 45 et la contre-plaque 48 sont préférentiellement fixées entre elles par des moyens d'attache, par exemple par des vis de serrage (non représentées) traversant la porte 30 de manière à enserrer la porte 30.The device 100 comprises a pull plate 45 comprising a flat surface placed against one face of the door 30 and a counter-plate 48 comprising a flat surface placed against the other face of the door 30. The draw plate 45 and the counter -plate 48 are preferably fixed together by fastening means, for example by clamping screws (not shown) passing through the door 30 so as to grip the door 30.

Les caractéristiques de la plaque 45 et de la contre-plaque 48 sont décrites en regard des figures 5 et 6.The characteristics of the plate 45 and the counter-plate 48 are described with reference to the figures 5 and 6 .

On observe, en figures 3 et 4, le verrou 40 monté sur une plaque de tirage 45. Le verrou 40 comporte une barre 41 montée libre en translation dans une platine 44. Préférentiellement, la platine 44 est monolithique avec la plaque de tirage 45 et comporte deux anses qui supportent et contraignent le déplacement de la barre 41. On précise que les deux anses illustrées en figures 3 et 4 sont représentées partiellement transparentes.We observe, in figures 3 and 4 , the lock 40 mounted on a draw plate 45. The lock 40 comprises a bar 41 mounted freely in translation in a plate 44. Preferably, the plate 44 is monolithic with the draw plate 45 and has two handles which support and constrain the movement of the bar 41. It is specified that the two handles illustrated in figures 3 and 4 are shown partially transparent.

Le mouvement en translation de la barre 41 dans la platine 44 est contraint par deux butées. Le verrou 40 peut adopter deux positions correspondantes aux deux positions extrêmes de la barre 41.The translational movement of the bar 41 in the plate 44 is constrained by two stops. The lock 40 can adopt two positions corresponding to the two extreme positions of the bar 41.

En figure 3, le verrou 40 est en position ouverte, c'est-à-dire tout à fait dégagé du logement 63 aménagé dans l'huisserie 80. Préférentiellement, le logement 63 comporte une gâche. Dans cette position ouverte du verrou 40, la porte 30 peut être ouverte. En figure 4, le verrou 40 est en position fermée, c'est-à-dire engagé dans le logement 63. Dans cette position fermée du verrou 40, la porte 30 est verrouillée en place.In Figure 3 , the lock 40 is in the open position, that is to say completely clear of the housing 63 fitted in the frame 80. Preferably, the housing 63 includes a striker. In this open position of the lock 40, the door 30 can be opened. In Figure 4 , the lock 40 is in the closed position, that is to say engaged in the housing 63. In this closed position of the lock 40, the door 30 is locked in place.

La translation de la barre 41 dans la platine 44 est actionnée par l'application d'une force latérale sur un moyen poussoir 43 solidaire de la barre 41. Préférentiellement, une tigelle 42 relie la barre 41 au moyen poussoir 43 pour que le moyen poussoir soit éloigné de la surface de la porte pour faciliter son actionnement au genou. Préférentiellement, la tigelle 42 traverse un trou oblong 61 percé dans la contre-plaque 48. Les deux extrémités du trou oblong 61 sont, dans ce cas, les butées limitant le mouvement en translation de la barre 41.The translation of the bar 41 in the plate 44 is actuated by the application of a lateral force on a pusher means 43 secured to the bar 41. Preferably, a rod 42 connects the bar 41 to the pusher means 43 so that the pusher means is away from the surface of the door to facilitate its knee operation. Preferably, the rod 42 passes through an oblong hole 61 drilled in the counterplate 48. The two ends of the oblong hole 61 are, in this case, the stops limiting the translational movement of the bar 41.

Le verrou 40 est positionné sur la porte 30 à une hauteur par rapport au pied de la porte comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres et, préférentiellement, entre quarante et quatre-vingts centimètres, et plus préférentiellement, entre quarante et soixante-dix centimètres. La barre du verrou peut être engagée ou désengagée dans le logement solidaire de l'huisserie 80 par une pression du genou d'un utilisateur contre le moyen poussoir 43.The lock 40 is positioned on the door 30 at a height relative to the foot of the door of between thirty and eighty centimeters and, preferably, between forty and eighty centimeters, and more preferably, between forty and seventy centimeters . The lock bar can be engaged or disengaged in the housing secured to the frame 80 by pressing a user's knee against the pusher means 43.

De plus, l'extrémité libre du moyen poussoir 43 est espacée d'au moins quatre centimètres de la porte 30 par la tigelle 42. Préférentiellement, l'extrémité libre du moyen poussoir 43 est espacée d'au moins six centimètres de la porte 30 par la tigelle 42, par exemple six centimètres.In addition, the free end of the pusher means 43 is spaced at least four centimeters from the door 30 by the rod 42. Preferably, the free end of the pusher means 43 is spaced at least six centimeters from the door 30 by the rod 42, for example six centimeters.

On observe, en figure 5, une même contre-plaque 48 selon deux angles de vue différents. On observe, en figure 6, une même plaque de tirage 45 selon deux angles de vue différents.We observe, in Figure 5 , the same counterplate 48 from two different viewing angles. We observe, in Figure 6 , the same drawing plate 45 from two different viewing angles.

La plaque de tirage 45 comporte la platine 44 du verrou 40. La plaque de tirage 45 est percée d'un trou 47 dont la fonction est décrite en regard des figures 7 à 9.The pull plate 45 includes the plate 44 of the lock 40. The pull plate 45 is pierced with a hole 47 whose function is described with reference to the figures 7 to 9 .

La contre-plaque 48 comporte un trou 61, traversant et oblong, dimensionné pour être traversé par la tigelle 42 du verrou 40.The counterplate 48 has a through and oblong hole 61, dimensioned to be crossed by the pin 42 of the lock 40.

La plaque de tirage 45 et la contre plaque 48 comportent, chacune, un prolongement, respectivement, 46 et 49, positionné à proximité du pied de la porte et configuré pour être tiré par le pied ou la partie inférieure de la jambe de l'utilisateur. Par exemple, le prolongement, 46 ou 49, présente une forme de "U" ou une forme de crochet pouvant être saisie par le pied ou par le talon de l'utilisateur.The pulling plate 45 and the counter plate 48 each comprise an extension, respectively, 46 and 49, positioned near the foot of the door and configured to be pulled by the foot or the lower part of the leg of the user . For example, the extension, 46 or 49, has a "U" shape or a hook shape that can be grasped by the user's foot or heel.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le prolongement, 46 ou 49, comporte un boudin amortisseur. Par exemple le boudin amortisseur est un anneau en caoutchouc artificiel positionné sur le pourtour du prolongement, 46 ou 49.In embodiments, the extension, 46 or 49, includes a shock-absorbing flange. For example, the shock absorber is an artificial rubber ring positioned around the perimeter of the extension, 46 or 49.

Les figures 7, 8 et 9 représentent, schématiquement et en vue perspective, le détail du verrou 40 mis en oeuvre dans le premier mode de réalisation du dispositif 100.THE figures 7, 8 and 9 represent, schematically and in perspective view, the detail of the lock 40 implemented in the first embodiment of the device 100.

Les figures 7 et 9 illustrent le verrou 40 dans une position fermée. La figure 8 illustre le verrou 40 dans une position ouverte.THE figures 7 and 9 illustrate the lock 40 in a closed position. There figure 8 illustrates the lock 40 in an open position.

La plaque de tirage 45 est percée d'un trou 61 traversant, aligné avec un relief de préhension 62 positionné sur la barre 41 ou solidaire avec elle. Le trou 61 traversant permet le passage d'un outil, par exemple un bâton rigide, une clé ou un tournevis, de sorte que l'outil peut être appuyé contre le relief de préhension 62 pour engager ou désengager le verrou 40.The drawing plate 45 is pierced with a through hole 61, aligned with a gripping relief 62 positioned on the bar 41 or integral with it. The through hole 61 allows the passage of a tool, for example a rigid stick, a wrench or a screwdriver, so that the tool can be pressed against the gripping relief 62 to engage or disengage the lock 40.

On observe, en figures 10 et 11, un gabarit 70 utile à la mise en oeuvre du procédé de pose d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte objet de l'invention, procédé détaillé en regard de la figure 20. Le gabarit 70 comporte au moins une bande 72 recourbée à angle droit et destinée à être appuyée en butée contre une tranche de la porte 30 dans sa plus grande dimension, c'est-à-dire sa hauteur. De préférence, le gabarit 70 comporte une deuxième bande recourbée à angle droit, destinée à venir en butée contre la tranche de la porte 30 dans sa dimension intermédiaire, c'est-à-dire sa largeur, comme illustré en figure 11. Ainsi, le gabarit 70 est de forme complémentaire avec le coin une porte 30 et sert de modèle au découpage d'une cavité de dimensions correspondantes aux dimensions de la platine 44 du verrou 40. Les figures 12 et 13 représentent, schématiquement, un deuxième mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif 200 de verrouillage objet de l'invention.We observe, in figures 10 and 11 , a template 70 useful for implementing the method of installing a door locking device which is the subject of the invention, detailed method with regard to the Figure 20 . The template 70 comprises at least one strip 72 curved at right angles and intended to be pressed abutting against an edge of the door 30 in its largest dimension, that is to say its height. Preferably, the template 70 comprises a second strip curved at right angles, intended to abut against the edge of the door 30 in its intermediate dimension, that is to say its width, as illustrated in Figure 11 . Thus, the template 70 has a complementary shape with the corner of a door 30 and serves as a model for cutting out a cavity of dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the plate 44 of the lock 40. The figures 12 and 13 represent, schematically, a second particular embodiment of the locking device 200 which is the subject of the invention.

Le dispositif 200 de verrouillage permet le verrouillage d'une porte 30 abritée dans une huisserie 80. Le dispositif 200 comporte un verrou 40 positionné à une hauteur par rapport au pied de la porte comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres et, préférentiellement, entre quarante et quatre-vingts centimètres, et plus préférentiellement, entre quarante et soixante-dix centimètres. Préférentiellement, le verrou 40 est similaire à celui déjà décrit plus haut.The locking device 200 allows the locking of a door 30 housed in a frame 80. The device 200 comprises a lock 40 positioned at a height relative to the foot of the door of between thirty and eighty centimeters and, preferably, between forty and eighty centimeters, and more preferably, between forty and seventy centimeters. Preferably, the lock 40 is similar to that already described above.

Le dispositif 200 comporte une plaque de tirage 65 comportant une surface plane apposée contre une face de la porte 30 et une contre-plaque 68 comportant une surface plane apposée contre l'autre face de la porte 30. La plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 sont préférentiellement fixées entre elles par des moyens d'attache, par exemple par des vis de serrage (non représentées) traversant la porte 30, de manière à enserrer la porte 30.The device 200 comprises a pull plate 65 comprising a flat surface placed against one face of the door 30 and a counter-plate 68 comprising a flat surface placed against the other face of the door 30. The draw plate 65 and the counter -plate 68 are preferably fixed together by attachment means, for example by clamping screws (not shown) passing through the door 30, so as to grip the door 30.

Les caractéristiques de la plaque de tirage 65 et de la contre-plaque 68 sont décrites en regard des figures 17 et 18.The characteristics of the pulling plate 65 and the counter-plate 68 are described with reference to the figures 17 and 18 .

La figure 14 représente, schématiquement et en vue perspective, le dispositif de verrouillage 200. On précise que la porte 30 et la contre-plaque 68 ne sont pas représentées ici afin de mieux illustrer les autres éléments du dispositif de verrouillage 200.There Figure 14 represents, schematically and in perspective view, the locking device 200. It should be noted that the door 30 and the counterplate 68 are not represented here in order to better illustrate the other elements of the locking device 200.

Le dispositif 200 se distingue du dispositif 100 précédemment décrit en ce qu'il comporte une pédale 50 solidaire d'une tige 51 actionnant un pêne 52, de sorte que le pêne 52 peut être désengagé d'une gâche 55 montée dans l'huisserie 80 par une pression du pied d'un utilisateur contre la pédale 50. Ce mécanisme est abrité dans un espace délimité par la plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 et n'est donc pas visible en condition d'utilisation normale du dispositif de verrouillage 200.The device 200 differs from the device 100 previously described in that it comprises a pedal 50 secured to a rod 51 actuating a bolt 52, so that the bolt 52 can be disengaged from a striker 55 mounted in the frame 80 by pressing a user's foot against the pedal 50. This mechanism is housed in a space delimited by the pull plate 65 and the counterplate 68 and is therefore not visible under normal use of the locking device 200.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 sont allongées pour couvrir toute la hauteur de la porte 30. Préférentiellement, la plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 sont formées dans un matériau identique à la poignée 59 lorsque celle-ci est conservée pour harmoniser l'ensemble. La plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 peuvent comporter tout type de matériau, notamment de l'acier inoxydable (« inox »), de l'aluminium, des alliages et/ou des polymères de plastiques et/ou encore des matériaux composites. Préférentiellement la plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 comportent de l'inox.In embodiments, the pull plate 65 and the counterplate 68 are elongated to cover the entire height of the door 30. Preferably, the pull plate 65 and the counterplate 68 are formed in a material identical to the handle 59 when this is retained to harmonize the whole. The pulling plate 65 and the counter-plate 68 may comprise any type of material, in particular stainless steel (“stainless steel”), aluminum, alloys and/or plastic polymers and/or even materials composites. Preferably the pulling plate 65 and the counterplate 68 comprise stainless steel.

Dans des modes de réalisation, un numéro de porte ou un pictogramme est inscrit sur la plaque de tirage 65 ou contre-plaque 68 ou un panonceau est prévu pour cette usage.In embodiments, a door number or a pictogram is written on the draw plate 65 or counterplate 68 or a sign is provided for this use.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le dispositif 200 comporte une pièce supplémentaire permettant de maintenir la porte ouverte quand celle-ci est équipée d'un ferme porte. Il s'agit par exemple d'une cale, d'un crochet ou d'un entrebâilleur.In embodiments, the device 200 includes an additional part making it possible to keep the door open when it is equipped with a door closer. This is for example a wedge, a hook or a spacer.

Dans des modes de réalisation, une rainure verticale qui s'étend de la pédale au verrou et possède des dimensions correspondantes aux dimensions de la tige 51, est creusée dans la plaque de tirage 65 et/ou dans la contre-plaque 68. Ainsi, la tige 51 peut être positionnée dans la rainure.In embodiments, a vertical groove which extends from the pedal to the lock and has dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the rod 51, is dug in the draw plate 65 and/or in the counterplate 68. Thus, the rod 51 can be positioned in the groove.

Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent le mécanisme d'actionnement du pêne 52, mis en oeuvre du dispositif 200. Ce mécanisme comporte le pêne 52 relié à la tige 51 par l'intermédiaire d'un pivot 56 configuré pour convertir une force de traction verticale exercée sur le bâton en une force de traction horizontale sur le pêne 52. Tout autre type de liaison mécanique similaire bien connue de l'homme du métier peut ici tenir lieu de pivot.THE figures 15 and 16 illustrate the actuation mechanism of the bolt 52, implemented from the device 200. This mechanism comprises the bolt 52 connected to the rod 51 via a pivot 56 configured to convert a vertical traction force exerted on the stick into a horizontal traction force on the bolt 52. Any other type of similar mechanical connection well known to those skilled in the art can here act as a pivot.

En figure 15, le mécanisme d'actionnement du pêne est représenté dans une position fermée, c'est à dire avec le pêne 52 engagé dans la gâche 55 montée dans l'huisserie 80. À l'inverse, en figure 16, le mécanisme d'actionnement du pêne est représenté dans une position ouverte.In Figure 15 , the bolt actuation mechanism is shown in a closed position, that is to say with the bolt 52 engaged in the striker 55 mounted in the frame 80. Conversely, in Figure 16 , the bolt actuation mechanism is shown in an open position.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le pivot 56 est, de plus, solidaire d'une poignée conventionnelle 59, permettant ainsi le désengagement du pêne 52 soit au moyen de la pédale, soit au moyen de la poignée 59, au choix de l'utilisateur.In embodiments, the pivot 56 is, moreover, secured to a conventional handle 59, thus allowing the bolt 52 to be disengaged either by means of the pedal or by means of the handle 59, at the user's choice. .

La figure 19 illustre schématiquement et en vue perspective, la partie basse du dispositif 200 illustré en figure 14, selon un autre angle de vue. Un ensemble formé de la tige 51 et de la pédale 50 est monté sur la plaque de tirage 65. La force appliquée par le pied de l'utilisateur sur la pédale 50 actionne le mouvement vers le bas de la tige 51. La pédale 50 comporte un boudin amortisseur 76. Ainsi, le butoir de porte fixé dans le sol, de l'art antérieur, peut être absent, ce qui facilite l'entretien du sol.There Figure 19 illustrates schematically and in perspective view, the lower part of the device 200 illustrated in Figure 14 , from another angle of view. An assembly formed by the rod 51 and the pedal 50 is mounted on the pulling plate 65. The force applied by the user's foot on the pedal 50 activates the downward movement of the rod 51. The pedal 50 comprises a shock-absorbing flange 76. Thus, the door stopper fixed in the floor, of the prior art, may be absent, which facilitates maintenance of the floor.

Dans des modes de réalisation, la pédale 50 comporte un moyen de rappel élastique de la pédale permettant le rappel vers une position de repos du pêne 52 actionné par le mouvement de la pédale. Préférentiellement, le moyen de rappel est un ressort 53 comprimé contre une butée 79 par la tige 51 lorsqu'une force est exercée sur la pédale 50 solidaire de la tige 51.In embodiments, the pedal 50 comprises an elastic return means of the pedal allowing the return to a rest position of the bolt 52 actuated by the movement of the pedal. Preferably, the return means is a spring 53 compressed against a stop 79 by the rod 51 when a force is exerted on the pedal 50 secured to the rod 51.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le même système de pédale est monté sur la contre-plaque 68.In embodiments, the same pedal system is mounted on the counterplate 68.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le prolongement, 46 ou 49, comporte un boudin amortisseur 76. Par exemple, le boudin amortisseur est un anneau en caoutchouc artificiel positionné sur une partie recourbée à l'extrémité libre de la pédale 50.In embodiments, the extension, 46 or 49, includes a shock absorber flange 76. For example, the shock absorber flange is an artificial rubber ring positioned on a curved part at the free end of the pedal 50.

La figure 17 représente, schématiquement et en vue perspective, la plaque de tirage 65 et la figure 18 représente, schématiquement et en vue perspective, la contre-plaque 68 du dispositif 200 de verrouillage. Les éléments déjà décrits précédemment et notamment en figures 5 et 6 ne sont pas décrits à nouveau ici. La plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 se distinguent des plaques correspondantes du premier mode de réalisation 100 en ce qu'elles sont prolongées jusqu'à la hauteur de la poignée 59, à un mètre environ du sol. La plaque de tirage 65 et la contre-plaque 68 se distinguent aussi des plaques correspondantes du premier mode de réalisation 100 en ce qu'elles comportent une ouverture, 74 et 75, dimensionnée pour accommoder un ressort 53 et un lien mécanique entre la pédale 50 et la tige 51. De plus, la plaque de tirage 65 et la contre plaque 68, sont percées de trous, 57 et 58, permettant d'accommoder l'axe d'une poignée 59 de porte permettant d'actionner le pivot illustré en figures 15 et 16.There Figure 17 represents, schematically and in perspective view, the drawing plate 65 and the Figure 18 represents, schematically and in perspective view, the counterplate 68 of the locking device 200. The elements already described previously and in particular in figures 5 and 6 are not described again here. The pulling plate 65 and the counter-plate 68 differ from the corresponding plates of the first embodiment 100 in that they are extended up to the height of the handle 59, approximately one meter from the ground. The pulling plate 65 and the counter-plate 68 are also distinguished from the corresponding plates of the first embodiment 100 in that they include an opening, 74 and 75, dimensioned to accommodate a spring 53 and a mechanical link between the pedal 50 and the rod 51. In addition, the pulling plate 65 and the counter plate 68 are pierced with holes, 57 and 58, making it possible to accommodate the axis of a door handle 59 making it possible to actuate the pivot illustrated in figures 15 and 16 .

La liaison entre la pédale 50 et le pêne est préférentiellement configurée pour qu'un mouvement du pêne 52 ne provoque pas de mouvement de la pédale 50. En prévoyant une butée sur la liaison glissière de la pédale 50 sur la tige 51, la descente de pédale 50 entraîne celle de la tige 51 mais la descente de la tige 51 n'entraîne pas celle de la pédale 50. On évite ainsi un risque de coincement de la porte si la poignée 59 est actionnée à la main, notamment si un objet se trouve en dessous de la pédale 50. Bien entendu, une liaison par câble fonctionnant en tension mais pas en compression (par exemple un câble qui n'est pas guidé dans une gaine) permet le même résultat technique.The connection between the pedal 50 and the bolt is preferably configured so that a movement of the bolt 52 does not cause movement of the pedal 50. By providing a stop on the slide connection of the pedal 50 on the rod 51, the descent of pedal 50 causes that of the rod 51 but the descent of the rod 51 does not cause that of the pedal 50. This avoids a risk of jamming of the door if the handle 59 is operated by hand, particularly if an object is located below the pedal 50. Of course, a cable connection operating in tension but not in compression (for example a cable which is not guided in a sheath) allows the same technical result.

Dans des modes de réalisation (non représentés), le dispositif objet de l'invention est intégré dans le volume de la porte, seuls les moyens d'actionnement au genou et/ou au pied dépassant de la surface de la porte. Dans ces modes de réalisation, les plaques de tirage 45 et 65 sont intégrées dans le corps de la porte et ne sont donc, hormis leur prolongement 46 ou 49, pas visibles depuis l'extérieur de la porte lorsque la porte est fermée, et éventuellement aussi lorsque la porte est ouverte.In embodiments (not shown), the device which is the subject of the invention is integrated into the volume of the door, only the actuation means at the knee and/or the foot protruding from the surface of the door. In these embodiments, the pull plates 45 and 65 are integrated into the body of the door and are therefore, apart from their extension 46 or 49, not visible from outside the door when the door is closed, and possibly also when the door is open.

Dans des modes de réalisation (non représentés), la liaison entre le moyen poussoir 43 actionnable au genou et la barre 41 du verrou 40 est une liaison par câble et non plus une liaison par au moins une pièce rigide.In embodiments (not shown), the connection between the pusher means 43 actuable at the knee and the bar 41 of the lock 40 is a connection by cable and no longer a connection by at least one rigid part.

Dans des modes de réalisation (non représentés), la liaison entre la pédale 50 et le pêne 52 permettant au pêne 52 d'être désengagé de la gâche 55 par une pression du pied d'un utilisateur contre la pédale 50, est une liaison par câble et non une liaison par pièces rigides. Préférentiellement, le câble n'est pas intégralement dans une gaine pour fonctionner en traction et non en compression. On évite ainsi qu'un mouvement descendant de la poignée, par exemple sous l'action de la main d'un utilisateur, entraîne un mouvement descendant de la pédale, ce qui pourrait avoir pour conséquence un blocage de la porte, notamment si un objet se trouve sous la pédale.In embodiments (not shown), the connection between the pedal 50 and the bolt 52 allowing the bolt 52 to be disengaged from the striker 55 by pressing a user's foot against the pedal 50, is a connection by cable and not a connection by rigid parts. Preferably, the cable is not entirely in a sheath to operate in traction and not in compression. This prevents a downward movement of the handle, for example under the action of a user's hand, from causing a downward movement of the pedal, which could result in the door blocking, particularly if an object is located under the pedal.

Dans des modes de réalisation, l'actionnement du verrou 40 entraîne l'actionnement du pêne 52. Par exemple, un câble guidé par des poulies exerce une traction du pêne dormant 81 lorsque la barre 41 sort du logement 63. Bien entendu, une tringlerie munie de butée peut remplacer un câble guidé par des poulies pour obtenir le même effet mécanique.In embodiments, actuation of the lock 40 causes actuation of the bolt 52. For example, a cable guided by pulleys exerts traction on the deadbolt 81 when the bar 41 exits the housing 63. Of course, a linkage fitted with a stop can replace a cable guided by pulleys to obtain the same mechanical effect.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le pêne est remplacé par une olive et/ou la serrure est de type serrure à larder.In embodiments, the bolt is replaced by an olive and/or the lock is of the mortise lock type.

La figure 20 représente, schématiquement et sous forme d'un logigramme, une succession d'étapes d'un mode de réalisation particulier du procédé 300 de pose d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte, objet de l'invention.There Figure 20 represents, schematically and in the form of a flowchart, a succession of steps of a particular embodiment of the method 300 for installing a door locking device, object of the invention.

Le procédé 300 de pose d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte comporte les étapes de :

  • dégondage 305 de la porte de son huisserie,
  • découpage 310 d'une rainure au moyen d'un gabarit muni d'une fenêtre de dimensions correspondante aux dimensions de la platine d'un verrou, à une hauteur par rapport au pied de la porte comprise entre trente et quatre-vingts centimètres, et, préférentiellement, entre quarante et quatre-vingts centimètre, et plus préférentiellement, entre quarante et soixante-dix centimètres.
  • positionnement de la platine du verrou dans la rainure et fixation 315 d'une plaque de tirage avec une contre-plaque de part et d'autre de la porte,
  • pose 320 de la porte dans l'huisserie,
  • perçage d'un logement dans l'huisserie, mise en place 330 d'une gâche ou montage d'un crampon, à la hauteur du verrou et
  • insertion 335 de la barre du verrou et montage d'un moyen poussoir sur la barre du verrou.
The method 300 of installing a door locking device comprises the steps of:
  • unhinging 305 of the door from its frame,
  • cutting 310 of a groove using a template provided with a window of dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the plate of a lock, at a height relative to the foot of the door of between thirty and eighty centimeters, and , preferably, between forty and eighty centimeters, and more preferably, between forty and seventy centimeters.

Préférentiellement, la platine de verrou est formée intégralement dans la plaque de tirage. Ces dispositions réduisent le nombre de pièces du dispositif et en facilitent la pose. De plus, le positionnement de la platine du verrou dans la rainure permet, dans ce cas, d'aligner sans effort la plaque de tirage sur la position adéquate.Preferably, the lock plate is formed integrally in the draw plate. These arrangements reduce the number of parts of the device and facilitate installation. In addition, positioning the lock plate in the groove makes it possible, in this case, to effortlessly align the pull plate to the appropriate position.

Dans des modes de réalisation, le procédé 300 de pose d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une porte comporte, de plus, les étapes (non représentées) de :

  • perçage des trous configuré pour abriter des vis reliant une plaque de tirage munie de la platine du verrou et une contre-plaque,
