Description

* 1 The present invention relates to a device for controlling

  the opening and closing of leafs or doors of the type of those found in houses or premises, commercial or residential. These leaves can notably constitute a door, a window, a gate,

  shutters, or any other similar element.

  Devices are known for remote control of a gate or the like. However, these known devices offer limited possibilities because: - on the one hand each of them generally concerns only one leaf, or one opening;

  - on the other hand it can only be used for the sole function.

"opening-closing" of the leaf.

  In particular, if it is known to use such a system to open and close a portal, nothing is planned for the shutters

of a house.

  Thus, if it is a villa with several doors and windows, the operation of opening or closing all the shutters of the house is a long and tedious maneuver, forcing to go through all the rooms of the house .

  Finally, if the owner wants to equip his house or so.

  local authorities against theft, it must also provide for sys--

  imes of alarm to implant in various places.

  The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks by producing a control system which is not only suitable for opening and closing leaves, but also allows the centralized control of a plurality of leaves, as well as a control system. advantageous combination

with alarm systems.

  A device according to the invention for controlling the opening and closing of at least one leaf, hinged on an axis of hinges, hinges, hinges or the like carried by a fixed frame, comprises a motor box integral with the frame and connected to the leaf face which faces inwards when the leaf is closed, and is characterized in that the casing comprises a motor shaft rotating in both directions and oriented parallel to the axis of the hinges or the like of leaf, while the link

  with it is provided by at least one solid rigid arm

  re of the motor shaft and connected by articulation to the leaf whose pivoting on the axis of the hinges is controlled in one direction and the other following an amplitude of 180 degrees. According to another characteristic of the invention, the rigid engine arm terminates in an axis taken in a slideway of the inner face of the leaf, a slide in which it

  slide one way and the other.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, end

  of the slide which corresponds to the position of the sliding axis

  when the leaf is closed, has a notched hole% -

  locking mechanism rendering irreversible the movement of

  sliding of the axis in the slide, that is to say the inte-

  saying in the direction oR the leaf would be motor at the opening

  re and solicit the sliding axis.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the rigid engine arm terminates in its articulation on a rod whose opposite end is articulated on an axis.

  carried by the inner face of the leaf.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the control box is fixed to the face of the frame which is parallel to the door leaf and masked when it is in the open position at 180 degrees. the invention, the control box is fixed to the face of the frame which is perpendicular to the plane defined by the leaf when it is

  in position both opening and closing.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the shoemaker

  The control unit contains an electric motor whose operation

is remote.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the triggering

  remote control is operated from a central cabinet to which several command shells are connected, if

  although only one cabinet allows you to open and close

  a variety of shutters, doors, gates or the like.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the shoemaker

  The control unit also contains a detector capable of dis-

  - if it is the rotation of the motor shaft that causes the leaf to pivot; - Or if it is an attempt to break the door leaf that tends to cause the rotation of the tree.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the detection

  the control box is connected to an alarm system

  it triggers in case of attempted break-in.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the control unit of the leaf comprises a button whose depression causes the disengagement of the mechanism, to allow the opening

manual leaf.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the return to the rest position of the disengaging knob causes the clutch of the mechanism to be nouped, so that the leaf is then

  stuck at the position where it is at this moment.

  The appended drawing, given by way of non-limiting example, will make it possible to better understand the invention and the advantages

that it is suceptible to procure.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the central control cabinet comprises a programmed system capable of triggering an opening sequence or a sequence of

  closure, during which the leaves are

  dice in cascade, one after the other or two by two.

  According to another characteristic of the invention the central cabinet comprises a programmed system capable of setting the opening hours and or closing shutters, gates or the like. It is understood that such a device has many advantages. In particular: the control can be both manual and mechanized; the control can be centralized for several doors or windows of the same house;

  - you can program the opening and / or closing automatically

  at times fixed in advance;

  the sequenced control in cascade makes it possible to reduce the con-

  electrical summation of the whole; - the possibility of incorporating a centralized alarm system

  significantly reduces installation costs.

  Ultimately the invention brings significant benefits 263820o1

  for both comfort and safety.

  Figure 15 is a block diagram showing a villa whose shutters are controlled and protected remotely

  by a centralized device according to the invention.

  Two leaves 1 which constitute the shutters of a French window 2 are shown in the drawings. Each leaf 1 is articulated on a fixed axis 3 defined by

  hinges or hinges of the fixed frame 5.

  On it is fixed a motor box 7.

  it is connected to the face 9 of the leaf 1, which faces inwards when the leaf 1 is closed (Fig. 3, 7 and 10). The boStier 7 carries a vertical motor shaft 11

  on the protruding part of which is anchored a horizontal arm

  Rigid tal 13. On the end thereof is fixed a vertical axis 15 whose protruding ends are taken in a slide 17 carried horizontally by the face 9 of the leaf 1. The vertical axis 15 can slide in one direction and in the other (arrows 19 and 21) along the slide 17 according to whether closing (Fig. 7) or opening (Fig. 4) the leaf 1, while the arm 13 rotates on its shaft 11. To facilitate the pivoting of the leaf 1 next

  an amplitude of 180 degrees around axis 3, we conferred

  on arm 13 a bent profile (Fig. 2, 4, 6, and 7). At its end 23 corresponding to the position of the axis 15 when the leaf 1 is closed (FIG 7), the slide 17 has a transverse locking notch 25, directed towards

the outside of the face 9.

  When at the end of the stroke, the axis 15 is pushed back into the notch 25, it locks the leaf 1 in

closed position.

  Indeed, if one seeks from the outside to open the leaf 1 by breaking (Fig.7, arrow 22), the resistance of the arm 13 and the casing 7 maintains the axis at the bottom of the notch 25 (arrow 24 ), so that the ben 26 defined at the angular junction of the notch 25 and the rectilinear portion 28 of the slideway 17 (FIG 6) opposes the effective opening of the leaf 1 in the direction of the arrow 22. The mechanism is thus rendered irreversible because if, on the contrary, it is the shaft 11 and the arm 13 which rotate in the direction of the arrow 30 (FIG 7), nothing prevents the axis 15 engages in the rectilinear portion 28 to slide in the direction of the

  arrow 21, and open leaf 1 according to arrow 22.

  In the variant of FIGS. 8raà 10, the rigid motor arm 13 ends with its articulation 27 on a rod 29 itself, e articulated by an axis 31 on

the face 9 of the leaf.

  In this case, it is the play of the compass 13-29 which allows the variation of the distance between the motor shaft 11 and the axis 31, to develop when the leaf turns

  180 degrees around its axis 3.

  Depending on the structure of the frame 5, the housing 7 may be fixed: - or against a wall (FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 to 10); - or built-in a wall (Figures 11,

12, 13).

  Similarly, the housing 7 can be fixed: - or on the face 31 of the frame 5, which is parallel to the leaf 1 and masked by him in the open position at 1800 (Figure 11); - or on the face 33 which is pependicular to

  the face 31, and located in the thickness of the wall.

  In the housing 7, there is an electric motor with geared motor which drives the shaft 11 in one direction and the other. This motor 35 is preferably a motor

  step-by-step, that is to say it allows to stop and

  balance Leaf 1 to any desired angular position

turn of its axis 3.

  On the shaft 11, is wedged a disc 32 having two notches 34 and 36, o can fall a lug 38. This lug is provided on the rocker 40 a push 42 spring 44 pushes against the cam 32 - 34 - 36 (arrow 46). An electromagnet 48 makes it possible, when it is excited, to move the pusher 42 in the opposite direction to the

  arrow 46 (arrow 50, figure 12).

  The position of the notches 34 and 36 on the disc

  32 corresponds to the two angular positions, respectively

  closed (Figure 13), and open (Figure 11) of the van-

tail 1.

  The electromagnet 48 is automatically excited

  each command of the motor 35 to enable it to

rotate the leaf 1.

  A torque limiter of known type, not shown, is interposed between the control and the shaft 11 to prevent damage to the apparatus in case of significant effort on the leaf 1, for example during

an attempted break-in.

  The assembly 32 to 48 constitutes a detector

  49, able to detect if the motor 35 drives the van-

tail 1, or if it's the opposite.

  A push button 53 is provided on the casing 7, to allow, when pressed (Figure 12, arrow 52), to lift the rocker 40 to the encon -

  44. This releases the lug 38 out of the

  checkmark 34 or 36 where it was, disengages the mechanism 55 and then allows the user to maneuver freely,

  by hand, leaf 1, if desired.

  When the whole is at rest (electro-

  magnet 48 not excited), just release the button

  53, so that the mechanism 55 is again engaged.

  The tripping of the motor 35 and the electromagnet 48 is controlled remotely; - from a central cabinet 37; - from an individual box 54 placed inside the room, near the door,

  window, or French window 2 corresponding to it.

  In case of centralized order for 1 '

  set of a villa 56 (Figure 15) the central cabinet

  the 37 is connected to several command boxes 7.47, 57, 67. Thus, the single cabinet 37 can open and close remotely several shutters, doors, gates

or the like 39, 41, 43, 45.

  In addition, the detector 49 of each

  control unit 7, 47, 57, 67 is connected to a system

  alarm 51, which it triggers in the event of an attempt

  burglary. It also allows locating the van-

  tail, door or window where the incident occurs.
