Abstract

The doors are locked in the closed position by a system of opposite faces of two identical elements (I,S) one moved forward relative to the other (1 of S on 2 of I, 1(32) of S on 31(32) of I, 41(42) of S on 31(32) of I). They allow an opening by 90 degrees of each side of the closing plane. There is the possibility of varying the angles of the sliding faces (a1,a2) in order to obtain a greater speed of closing and of varying the angle of the locking face in order to obtain a greater locking force.The material employed for the parts has a low coefficient of friction.The hinge sections can be mounted in a reinforced casing. USE - Automatic closing and locking of doors.

Description

La présente invention concerne une charnière à fermeture automatique par gravité avec verrouillage en position fermée constituée de deux éléments identiques simples ou multiples et destinée au montage des portes ouvrant "à la Française'l.  The present invention relates to a hinge with automatic closing by gravity with locking in the closed position consisting of two identical single or multiple elements and intended for the mounting of doors opening "à la Française'l.

Les dispositifs de fermeture automatique éxistant actuellement comportent:
-pour certains, des ressorts de rappel qui sont eux-mêmes fabriqués
- soit en acier à ressort- résistant mais oxydable, ce qui les rend mal adaptés à ltemploi en milieu à atmosphère corrosive et en milieu alimentaire:
-soit en acier inoxydable mais non approprié à cet usage, et qui, de ce fait, "fatiguent" très vite et deviennent dans un temps très limité, impropres à remplir leur fonction.
The automatic closing devices that currently exist include:
- for some, return springs which are themselves manufactured
- either in spring steel - resistant but oxidizable, which makes them ill-suited to use in a corrosive atmosphere and in a food environment:
- either in stainless steel but not suitable for this use, and which, therefore, "tire" very quickly and become in a very limited time, unfit to fulfill their function.

Ces dispositifs comportent en outre deux inconvénients importants dans le cas drun emploi intensif:
-le manque de discrétion,
-lténergie relativement importante nécessaire pour leur manoeuvre.
These devices also have two major drawbacks in the case of intensive use:
-lack of discretion,
-the relatively large energy required for their operation.

-pour d'autres, des systèmes à gravité, mais sans verrouillage, ce qui rend la position de fermeture aléatoire, et de ce fait, inemployables dans les portes dites "va-et-vient".  -for others, gravity systems, but without locking, which makes the closed position random, and therefore, unusable in doors called "back and forth".

Le présent dispositif est caractérisé par:
1- La forme identique des éléments recevant (I) et recu (S),
2- La nature des matériaux employés,
3- La possibilité d'obtenir une vitesse de fermeture plus ou moins rapide en faisant varier les pentes des faces de glissement (31 & 32)
4- La possibilité d'obtenir un verrouillage plus ou moins important en faisant varier la hauteur et la pente de la face de verrouillage 4(41 & 42)
5- La possibilité de son adaptation sur des vantaux de poids très variable ou sujets à des contraintes très importantes en augmentant ou en diminuant le nombre et les dimensions de ces dispositifs et (ou) en les incluant dans un boitier de renfort.
The present device is characterized by:
1- The identical form of the elements receiving (I) and received (S),
2- The nature of the materials used,
3- The possibility of obtaining a more or less rapid closing speed by varying the slopes of the sliding faces (31 & 32)
4- The possibility of obtaining a more or less significant locking by varying the height and the slope of the locking face 4 (41 & 42)
5- The possibility of its adaptation on leaves of very variable weight or subject to very significant constraints by increasing or decreasing the number and dimensions of these devices and (or) by including them in a reinforcement box.

FONCtIONNDIENT
L'èlément I est fixé sur l'huisserie et l'élément S est fixé sur le vantail ouvrant
Mouvement d'ouverture (sujet à énergie)- de la position de fermeture verrouillée à la position d'ouverture à 90 :
Au point de verrouillage la face 1 de I est en contact avec la face 2 de S et la face 1 de S est en contact avec la face 2 de I ; les faces 4 des deux parties sont en contact ou très proches - Dans le cas d'une éxécution AVEC ellipse des faces 3, les points A et B des faces 31 d'une part ou des faces 32 d'autre part de I et de S sont théoriquement confondus
Au fur et à mesure de sa rotation la partie S s'élève en suivant les pentes ou courbes conjuguées ,d'abord et éventuellement de l'une de ses deux faces 4 (41 ou 42) et de la correspondante de I, et ensuite de l'une de ses deux faces 3 (31 ou 32) et de la correspondante de I.
FUNCTION
Element I is fixed on the frame and element S is fixed on the opening leaf
Opening movement (subject to energy) - from the locked closing position to the opening position at 90:
At the locking point the face 1 of I is in contact with the face 2 of S and the face 1 of S is in contact with the face 2 of I; the faces 4 of the two parts are in contact or very close - In the case of an execution WITH ellipse of the faces 3, the points A and B of the faces 31 on the one hand or of the faces 32 on the other hand of I and of S are theoretically confused
As it rotates, the part S rises following the conjugate slopes or curves, first and possibly one of its two faces 4 (41 or 42) and the corresponding of I, and then one of its two faces 3 (31 or 32) and the corresponding of I.

Mouvement de fermeture (Automatique): de la position d'ouverture à 90 à la position de fermeture verrouillée. Closing movement (Automatic): from the opening position to 90 to the locked closing position.

Au point d'ouverture à 90 , l'une des faces 3 (31 ou 32) de I est en contact avec sa correspondante de S Les pentes de ces face 3 correspondant aux angles de même valeur al et a2 entraînent S à revenir par glissement
vers le point le plus bas.
At the opening point at 90, one of the faces 3 (31 or 32) of I is in contact with its correspondent of S The slopes of these face 3 corresponding to the angles of the same value al and a2 cause S to return by sliding
towards the lowest point.

suivant sa rotation autour de l'axe M. Cette tendance sera proportionnelle à la valeur que l'on aura donné aux angles a (al et a2) . En fin de cette période de glissement, les faces 4 (41 & 42) des deux parties , avec leur pente très supérieure , assureront la fin de la descente (et de la rotation )et surtout le 35 maintien ferme (ou verrouillage) en position basse ( et donc fermé ) de I. Les faces 1 et 2 assurent le repos en cette position.following its rotation around the axis M. This trend will be proportional to the value that we have given to the angles a (al and a2). At the end of this sliding period, the faces 4 (41 & 42) of the two parts, with their very superior slope, will ensure the end of the descent (and of the rotation) and above all the 35 firm holding (or locking) in position. low (and therefore closed) of I. Faces 1 and 2 provide rest in this position.

La partie elliptique des faces 3 ont comme but principal d'amortir la mise en position "verrouillé" et de faciliter le déverrouillage . Elle n'est donc pas obligatoire dans le cas où la pente des faces 4 (41 & 42) n'est que relativement peu supérieure à celle des faces 3 (31 & 32).  The elliptical part of the faces 3 have the main purpose of damping the setting in the "locked" position and of facilitating unlocking. It is therefore not compulsory in the case where the slope of the faces 4 (41 & 42) is only relatively little greater than that of the faces 3 (31 & 32).

Quoique théoriquement nécessairement égale à celle de l'angle a2, la valeur de l'angle al pourrait être nulle dans le cas de très faibles efforts et de l'emploi d'un matériau exceptionnellement performant. Although theoretically necessarily equal to that of the angle a2, the value of the angle al could be zero in the case of very low forces and the use of an exceptionally efficient material.

-soit en éléments simples destinés ou non à être assemblés entre eux de façon à constituer des éléments multiples
-soit directement en éléments multiples
FABRICATION: Deux façons seront à envisager:
-Usinage mécanique ou autre dans une masse ( couteux mais valable pour des séries peu importantes )
