Abstract

The clasp, for a luggage trunk comprises at least one hasp (3) pivotally mounted on the lid (2) and a cooperating lug (5) mounted on the case (6). The hasp is biassed against the surface (23) of its support (1) by a leaf spring (21) contained within the upper end of the hasp which bears against the pivotal axis (19) of the hasp. As the hasp is lifted, the pivotal axis moves perpendicular to the support along an elongate aperture (20) in the support, against the action of the leaf spring.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture, e plus particulièrement un dispositif de fermeture pour bagage. The present invention relates to a closure device, e more particularly a closure device for luggage.

On connais des dispositifs de fermeture pour bagage comportant un élément pivotant monté sur un support solidaire du couvercle du bagage, qui assurent ne liaison dudit couvercle avec un élément fixe par rapport au corps du bagage. L'élément pivotant comporte un axe de rotation plat de section sensiblement rectangulaire. Une branche d'un ressort de flexion, généralement en U, prend appui sur ledit axe et exerce sur lui un couple de rotation tant que son plan n'est pas confondu avec le plan dudit axe. There are known closure devices for luggage comprising a pivoting element mounted on a support integral with the baggage cover, which ensure connection of said cover with a fixed element relative to the baggage body. The pivoting element comprises a flat rotation axis of substantially rectangular section. A branch of a bending spring, generally U-shaped, bears on said axis and exerts on it a rotation torque as long as its plane is not coincident with the plane of said axis.

L'élément pivotant possède ainsi deux positions d'équilibre stables: une première position dans laquelle il est lié à l'élément fixe du corps du bagage (position de verrouillage), et une seconde position décalée angulairement d'environ 1800 par rapport à la précédente, dans laquelle il est libre par rapport à l'élément fixe (position de déverrouillage). Pour des raisons de comino- dité d'utilisation, il serait souhaitable de pouvoir disposer de positions d'équilibre intermédiaires de façon à ce que lsutilisateur ne soit pas obligé de basculer complètement élément pivotant pour passer de la position de verrouillage à la position de déerrouillage et inversement. De plus, les dispositifs de fermeture de ce typ.  The pivoting element thus has two stable equilibrium positions: a first position in which it is connected to the fixed element of the baggage body (locking position), and a second position angularly offset by about 1800 relative to the previous, in which it is free with respect to the fixed element (unlocking position). For reasons of comunity of use, it would be desirable to have intermediate equilibrium positions so that the user does not have to switch completely pivoting element to move from the locking position to the unlocking position. and vice versa. In addition, the closure devices of this typ.

manquent généralement de stabilité latérale, car le maintien de élément pivotant n'est assuré que par la pression du ressort sur l'axe de rotation.generally lack of lateral stability, since the holding of pivoting element is ensured only by the pressure of the spring on the axis of rotation.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, et à cet effet, elle a pour objet un dispositif de fermeture destiné à assurer la liaison d'un couvercle et d'un bottier, du type comprenant un élément pivotant comportant au moins une branche montée pivotante par rapport à un support solidaire du couvercle, un élément fixe par rapport 11 boîtiers et des moyens élastiques assurant la liaison de l'e,iément pivotant et de I'élément fixe, caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité de ladite branche est appliquée contre une face dtappui du support par lesdits moyens élastiques, et en ce qu'une partie de l'elément pivotant est astreinte à se dép acet u cours de son mouvement de pivotemen6, iwans une lumière allongée du support, sensiblement pe pcnd c Qaire à ladite face d'appui. The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks, and to this end, it relates to a closure device intended to ensure the connection of a cover and a casing, of the type comprising a pivoting element comprising at least one branch pivotally mounted relative to a support integral with the lid, a fixed element relative to 11 housings and elastic means ensuring the connection of the pivoting element and the fixed element, characterized in that the end of said branch is applied against a support surface of the support by said elastic means, and in that a part of the pivoting element is constrained to déac acet u in its pivoting movement, iwans elongated light of the support, substantially pe pcnd c Qaire to said support face.

Ainsi, il est possibleen jouant sur le profil de ltextrémité de ladite branche, de créer une position stable pour une position donnee quelconque de l'élément pivotant. Thus, it is possible by playing on the end profile of said branch, to create a stable position for any given position of the pivoting element.

Dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément pivotant comporte deux branches, et l'effort exercé par le moyen élastique est appliqué entre ces deux branches. Cette disposition confère à l'élément pivotant une bonne stabilité latérale, même après usure mécanique, puisque le jeu pouvant résulter de cette usure est automatiquement rattrapé par le ressort. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the pivoting element comprises two branches, and the force exerted by the elastic means is applied between these two branches. This arrangement gives the pivoting element good lateral stability, even after mechanical wear, since the play that can result from this wear is automatically overtaken by the spring.

Une forme de réalisation de l'invention est décrite ci-après en regard des dessins annexés dans lesquels:
La figure 1 est une vue de face d'un dispositif de fermeture suivant l'invention, en position de verrouillage;
La figure 2 est une coupe du dispositif de fermeture de la figure 1 suivant la ligne Il-Il;
La figure 3 est une coupe du dispositif de fermeture de la figure 1, suivant la ligne III-III;
La figure 4 est une coupe analogue à la figure 3, en position de déverrouillage
La figure 5 est une coupe de la figure 4 et montrant l'élément pivotant dans la position de point mort; et
La figure 6 représente une forme de réalisation particulière des extrémités des branches de l'élément pivotant.
An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a front view of a closure device according to the invention, in the locking position;
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the closure device of Figure 1 along line II-II;
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the closure device of Figure 1 along the line III-III;
FIG. 4 is a section similar to FIG. 3, in the unlocking position
Figure 5 is a sectional view of Figure 4 and showing the pivoting member in the neutral position; and
Figure 6 shows a particular embodiment of the ends of the branches of the pivoting element.

Sur les figures 1 à 4, le dispositif de fermeture comprend essentiellement un élément support 1 solidaire du couvercle 2 du bagage, un élément pivotant 3 monté tournant par rapport audit support 1 et un élément fixe 5 solidaire du corps 6 du bagage.  In Figures 1 to 4, the closure device essentially comprises a support member 1 integral with the lid 2 of the bag, a pivoting member 3 rotatably mounted relative to said support 1 and a fixed element 5 integral with the body 6 of the baggage.

L'élément pivotant 3 comporte deux branches latérales 15, 16 et un ridement central 18 dans lequel s'embatte l'élément fixe 5 lorsque l'élément pivotant est en position de verrouillage. Les extrémités des branches 15 et 16 sont reliées par une broche 19 qui traverse l'élément support 1. La broche 19 est guidée au cours du mouvement de pivotement de l'élément pivotant 3, dans une lumière allongée 20 sensiblement perpendiculaire au support 1. The pivoting element 3 comprises two lateral branches 15, 16 and a central facing 18 in which the fixed element 5 is engaged when the pivoting element is in the locking position. The ends of the branches 15 and 16 are connected by a pin 19 which passes through the support member 1. The pin 19 is guided during the pivoting movement of the pivoting element 3, in an elongated slot 20 substantially perpendicular to the support 1.

Un ressort de flexion 21S fixé sur l'élément support 1 par une vis 22, prend appui sur la broche 19 et applique chacune des extrémités des branches 15, 16 contre la surface d'appui 23 de élément support 1. A bending spring 21S fixed on the support member 1 by a screw 22, bears on the pin 19 and applies each of the ends of the branches 15, 16 against the support surface 23 of the support element 1.

Dans ces conditions, le fonctionnement de la serrure s'établit comme suit:
Le ressort de flexion 21 exerce sur la broche 19 une force F, (de ligne d'action x-x) qui crée un couple de rotation, autour du point de contact A de l'élément pivotant 3 avec la surface d'appui 23. En désignant par B le point de contact de la ligne x-x avec la surface 23, la valeur du couple de rotation exercée par le ressort 21 sur l'élément pivotant 3 est égale au produit de la force F par la distance AB (figure 4).
Under these conditions, the operation of the lock is established as follows:
The bending spring 21 exerts on the pin 19 a force F (of the action line xx) which creates a rotation torque around the point of contact A of the pivoting element 3 with the bearing surface 23. denoting by B the point of contact of the line xx with the surface 23, the value of the torque exerted by the spring 21 on the pivoting element 3 is equal to the product of the force F by the distance AB (FIG. 4).

Lorsque, à partir de la position de verrouillage (figures 1 et 2), on soulève l'élément pivotant (figure 4) la distance A B diminue jusqu'à ce que le point de contact A se trouve confondu avec le point B sur la ligne d'action de la force F exercée par le ressort (figure 5). When, from the locking position (FIGS. 1 and 2), the pivoting element is lifted (FIG. 4) the distance AB decreases until point of contact A coincides with point B on the line action of the force F exerted by the spring (Figure 5).

Le couple de rotation est alors nul. L'élément pivotant 3 conserve donc cette position d'équilibre sans qu'il soit necessaire, comme dans les serrures connues, de le fai-e pivoter completement. The torque is then zero. The pivoting element 3 thus retains this equilibrium position without it being necessary, as in the known locks, to rotate it completely.

Si l'on souléve davantage l'élément pivotant 3, le poin; > contact A passe de l'autre côté de la ligne d'action de la force F, Le couple de rotation exercé par le ressort 21 est ainsi opposé au précédent et l'élément pivotant 3 pivote vers le haut. If the pivoting element 3 is raised further, the spike; contact A passes on the other side of the action line of the force F, the torque exerted by the spring 21 is thus opposite to the previous and the pivoting member 3 pivots upwards.

La présente invention permet, en jouant sur le profil des extrémités des branches 15, 16 d'intervenir sur le mouvement de l'élément pivotant 3 et notamment sur ses positions de stabilité. The present invention allows, by playing on the profile of the ends of the branches 15, 16 to intervene on the movement of the pivoting element 3 and in particular on its stability positions.

On pourrait ainsi donner auxdites extrémités une forme arrondie, ou encore y former un ou plusieurs chanfreins de façon à obtenir une ou plusieurs positions d'équilibre de 11 élément pivotant. It would thus be possible to give said ends a rounded shape, or else to form one or more chamfers therein so as to obtain one or more equilibrium positions of the pivoting element.

Avantageusement comme montré figure 6, un tel chanfrein 24 est réalisé tel que la perpendiculaire abaissée de son milieu; et figurée par la ligne y-y, passe par le centre de la broche 19. il se trouve alors en contact avec la surface d'appui 23 lorsque le couple de rotation exercé par le ressort 21 est nul. Ainsi, les efforts de stabilisation dus au chanfrein et à la nullité du couple se superposent pour accroître la stabilité, dans cette position, de l'élément pivotant 3.  Advantageously, as shown in FIG. 6, such a chamfer 24 is made such that the perpendicular lowered from its center; and figured by the line y-y, passes through the center of the spindle 19. it is then in contact with the bearing surface 23 when the torque exerted by the spring 21 is zero. Thus, the stabilization efforts due to the chamfer and the nullity of the couple are superimposed to increase the stability, in this position, of the pivoting element 3.
