Abstract

1. A control device, in particular for a latch (1), comprising a locking lever (7) biased to the locking position by a spring (8, 9, 10) and an actuating cable (15) so adapted that a pull exerted thereon in opposition to the action of a second spring (23; 28) tends to shift the lever (7) away its locking position, characterised in that the cable (15) extends through an orifice (21) provided in an end portion of the lever (7) and is provided with an end member (22; 22a; 29) applied against said end portion, the second spring (23; 28) being interposed between a fixed element (24; 26) and an end member (22; 27; 30) of the cable located relative to said lever (7) on the opposite side to a support tab (19) for a sheath (16) in which the cable (15) slides.

Description

L'invention est relative aux dispositifs de commande de serrure,notamment pour couvercle de coffre de véhicule automobile,du type comportant un câble dont un embout coopère avec une extrémité d'un levier de la serrure de ma- nière qu'une traction sur le câble écarte ce levier d'une position dans laquelle il verrouille un pène,à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel.The invention relates to the lock control devices, particularly for safe motor vehicle cover of the type comprising a cable with a tip cooperates with one end of a lever of the lock ma- n st a pull on the cable moves this lever away from a position in which it locks a bolt, against a return spring.

Dans le cas d'une commande à distance où le câble parcourt dans une gaine un trajet relativement long et sinueux,son glissement dans la gaine s'effectue avec un frottement notable,de sorte que le levier risque de ne pas être ramené à sa position de verrouillage,sauf à prévoir un ressort présentant une force de rappel importante,suffisante pour ramener le levier dans ladite position malgré le frottement du câble.In the case of a remote control where the cable travels in a sheath a relatively long and winding path, its sliding in the sheath is effected with a significant friction, so that the lever may not be returned to its position locking, except to provide a spring having a large return force, sufficient to return the lever to said position despite the friction of the cable.

Lorsque le levier coopère avec une seconde commande,en particulier à bouton poussoir ou à barillet actionné par une clef,la manoeuvre de cette seconde commande risque d'être d'une dureté excessive et la force du ressort de rappel est importante.When the lever cooperates with a second control, in particular with a push button or barrel actuated by a key, the operation of this second control risks being of excessive hardness and the force of the return spring is important.

Le brevet FR-A-2 219 293 décrit-un agencement dans lequel le câble agit sur un levier supplémentaire à l'encontre d'un troisième ressort accroché sur ce levier, ce levier supplémentaire agissant lui-même sur le levier de verrouillage.Un tel agencement est compliqué,puisqu'il comprend un nombre élevé de pièces. Il est aussi encombrant. De plus la commande à câble est durcie car le ressort accroché sur le levier supplémentaire doit assurer le rappel du câble dont le trajet est en général long et sinueux. Ce durcissement est encore accentué si le ressort est accroché relativement près de l'axe d'articulation du levier supplémentaire, pour des raisons d'encombrement.Patent FR-A-2 219 293 describes an arrangement in which the cable acts on an additional lever against a third spring hooked on this lever, this additional lever itself acting on the locking lever. such an arrangement is complicated, since it comprises a high number of parts. It is also bulky. In addition, the cable control is hardened because the spring hung on the additional lever must ensure the return of the cable, the path of which is generally long and winding. This hardening is further accentuated if the spring is hung relatively close to the axis of articulation of the lever. additional, for reasons of space.

L'. invention a donc pour but de fournir un dispositif de commande à câble pour une serrure actionnable, le cas échéant, par une deuxième commande, ce dispositif devant être simple et ne pas provoquer de durcissement de la manoeuvre de cette deuxième commande.The. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cable control device for a lock that can be actuated, if necessary, by a second control, this device having to be simple and not to cause hardening of the operation of this second control.

Le dispositif de commande de serrure selon l'in- ventïon comprend un levier de verrouillage rappelé en position de verrouillage par un ressorte et un câble d'actionnement agencé de manière qu'une traction exercée sur lui à l'encontre de l'action d'un second ressort tende à écarter le levier de sa position de verrouillage. Il est caractérisé en ce que le câble s'étend à travers un orifice prévu dans une extrémité du levier et porte un embout appliqué contre ladite extrémité, le second ressort étant interposé entre une pièce fixe et un embout du câble situés, par rapport audit levier, du côté opposé à une patte d'appui d'une gaine dans laquelle coulisse le câble.The lock control device according to the invention comprises a locking lever returned to the locking position by a spring and an actuating cable arranged so that a traction exerted on it against the action of 'a second spring tends to move the lever from its locking position. It is characterized in that the cable extends through an orifice provided in one end of the lever and carries an end piece applied against said end, the second spring being interposed between a fixed part and an end piece of the cable located, with respect to said lever , on the side opposite to a support leg of a sheath in which the cable slides.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'invention :

  • - les extrémités du second ressort sont alignées avec le trou ou la fente et l'extrémité de 1a gaine en appui sur la patte ;
  • - le second ressort est un ressort de traction accroché, d'une part à la partie fixe, d'autre part à l'embout appliqué contre ladite extrémité du levier;
  • - le câble est prolongé, au-delà de l'embout, par un brin qui traverse une patte fixe et qui comporte à son extrémité un second embout, le second ressort étant interposé et comprimé entre cette patte fixe et ce second embout ;
  • - les deux embouts sont formés aux extrémités d'une pièce tubulaire entourant le brin de câble et entouré par le second ressort ;
  • - le câble est prolongé au-delà du second embout jusqu'à une seconde serrure;
  • - le levier est relié à une seconde commande, à bouton-poussoir ou à barillet.
According to other advantageous features of the invention:
  • - The ends of the second spring are aligned with the hole or the slot and the end of the sheath bearing on the tab;
  • - The second spring is a tension spring attached, on the one hand to the fixed part, on the other hand to the end piece applied against said end of the lever;
  • - The cable is extended, beyond the end piece, by a strand which passes through a fixed tab and which comprises at its end a second end piece, the second spring being interposed and compressed between this fixed end piece and this second end piece;
  • - The two end pieces are formed at the ends of a tubular piece surrounding the cable strand and surrounded by the second spring;
  • - the cable is extended beyond the second end piece to a second lock;
  • - the lever is connected to a second control, with push button or barrel.

Quelques exemples de réalisation d'une commande de serrure selon l'invention sont décrits ci-après, avec référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels :

  • - la Fig.1 est une vue d'ensemble simplifiée d'un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention; et
  • - les Fig.2 et 3 sont des vues détaillées,en coupe partielle suivant un plan correspondant à la ligne 2-2 de la Fig.1,de deux variantes.
Some exemplary embodiments of a lock control according to the invention are described below, with reference to the appended drawings among which:
  • - Fig.1 is a simplified overview of a first embodiment of the invention; and
  • - Fi g .2 and 3 are detailed views, in partial section along a plane corresponding to line 2-2 of Fig.1, of two variants.

On voit sur la Fig.1 une serrure 1 dont le support en forme de platine 1a est fixé par des vis 2 sur un panneau fixe 3 d'un véhicule.Cette serrure comporte de manière usuelle un pène pivotant 4 propre à coopérer d'une part avec un crochet 5 solidaire d'un couvercle de coffre 6 du véhicule,d'autre part avec un levier de verrouillage 7. Un ressort en épingle 8 enroulé autour de l'axe de pivotement du pène comporte une branche 9 en appui sur le levier 7 de manière à le pousser vers sa position de verrouillage du pène,comme représenté,et une branche 10 en appui sur un rebord du pène de manière à faire tourner ce dernier dans le sens de l'ouverture de la serrure dès que le levier est écarté de sa position de verrouillage.We see in Fig.1 a lock 1 whose support in the form of a plate 1a is fixed by screws 2 on a fixed panel 3 of a vehicle. This lock usually comprises a pivoting bolt 4 suitable for cooperating with on the one hand with a hook 5 secured to a boot lid 6 of the vehicle, on the other hand with a locking lever 7. A pin spring 8 wound around the pivot axis of the bolt comprises a branch 9 bearing on the lever 7 so as to push it towards its bolt locking position, as shown, and a branch 10 bearing on a rim of the bolt so as to rotate the latter in the direction of opening of the lock as soon as the lever is moved out of its locked position.

A l'extrémité inférieure 11 du levier sont accrochés, d'une part,une tige 12 d'une commande 13 à bouton poussoir ou d'une commande 14 à barillet actionnable au moyen d'une.clef, d'autre part,un câble 15 de commande à distance.At the lower end 11 of the lever are hung, on the one hand, a rod 12 of a control 13 with a push button or of a control 14 with a barrel actuable by means of a key, on the other hand, a remote control cable 15.

Ce câble 15 coulisse dans une gaine 16 dont les extrémités prennent appui respectivement sur une partie fixe 17 voisine d'une tirette 18 d'actiônnement du câble, et sur une patte 19 de la platine 1a de la serrure.La portion terminale 20 du câble traverse l'extrémité 11 du le- ,vier par un trou ou une fente 21,et un embout 22 fixé de façon classique à l'extrémité de la portion 20 est appliqué contre le levier 7 de manière qu'une traction du câble tende à écarter le levier de la position de verrouillage représentée,à l'encontre de la poussée exercée par la branche 9 du ressort 8.This cable 15 slides in a sheath 16 whose ends are supported respectively on a fixed part 17 adjacent to a pull tab 18 for actuating the cable, and on a tab 19 of the plate 1a of the lock. The terminal portion 20 of the cable passes through the end 11 of the le, through a hole or a slot 21, and a nozzle 22 conventionally fixed to the end of the portion 20 is applied against the lever 7 so that a pull of the cable tends to move the lever away from the locking position shown, against the thrust exerted by the branch 9 of the spring 8.

Selon l'invention, un ressort de traction 23 est accroché, d'une part, à l'embout 22, d'autre part, à une patte 24 de la platine 1a, cette patte étant située du côté opposé à la patte 19 par rapport à l'extrémité 11 du levier,et les points d'accrochage du ressort 23 étant alignés avec le trou ou la fente 21 et l'extrémité de gaine en appui sur la patte 19.According to the invention, a tension spring 23 is hooked, on the one hand, to the end piece 22, on the other hand, to a lug 24 of the plate 1a, this lug being located on the side opposite to the lug 19 by relative to the end 11 of the lever, and the attachment points of the spring 23 being aligned with the hole or the slot 21 and the end of the sheath bearing on the lug 19.

Ce ressort tire donc le câble, assurant son rappel et celui de la tirette 18 en position de repos représentée dès que la tirette 18 est relâchée.This spring therefore pulls the cable, ensuring its return and that of the pull tab 18 in the rest position shown as soon as the pull tab 18 is released.

Dans la disposition de la Fig.2,un brin de câble 25 prolonge la portion 20 au-delà de l'embout 22a remplaçant l'embout 22 de la disposition précédente,traverse une patte 26 de la platine,et comporte à son extrémité un second embout 27. Un ressort hélicoïdal 28 entourant le brin 25 est interposé et comprimé entre la patte 26 et l'embout 27, assurant la tension du câble et tendant à le ramener en position de repos.In the arrangement of Fig. 2, a cable strand 25 extends the portion 20 beyond the end piece 22a replacing the end piece 22 of the previous arrangement, crosses a tab 26 of the plate, and has at its end a second end piece 27. A helical spring 28 surrounding the strand 25 is interposed and compressed between the tab 26 and the end piece 27, ensuring the tension of the cable and tending to return it to the rest position.

Selon la variante de la Fig.3,les deux embouts 22a et 27 de la disposition précédente sont respectivement remplacés par des extrémités évasées 29,30 d'une pièce tubulaire 31 qui entoure le brin 25 et dont seule l'extrémité 30 est fixée au câble, par exemple par sertissage,de sorte que la pièce 31,entourée par le ressort 28,travaille en compression quand le câble est tiré par action sur la.tirette 18,appliquant l'embout 29 contre le levier 7.According to the variant of Fig.3, the two end pieces 22a and 27 of the previous arrangement are respectively replaced by flared ends 29.30 of a tubular piece 31 which surrounds the strand 25 and of which only the end 30 is fixed to the cable, for example by crimping, so that the part 31, surrounded by the spring 28, works in compression when the cable is pulled by action on la.tirette 18, applying the end piece 29 against the lever 7.

Un prolongement 32 du câble au-delà du second embout 27,30 est éventuellement prévu de manière à actionner une deuxième serrure, non représentée,en même temps que la serrure 1, par exemple lorsque le couvercle 6 comporte deux crochets espacés 5 propres à coopérer respectivement avec l'une des deux serrures.An extension 32 of the cable beyond the second endpiece 27.30 is optionally provided so as to actuate a second lock, not shown, at the same time as the lock 1, for example when the cover 6 comprises two spaced hooks 5 suitable for cooperating respectively with one of the two locks.

Dans les trois dispositions décrites,le fonctionnement est le même : dans la position représentée à la Fig.1, la serrure est fermée,le pène 4 immobilisant le crochet 5 et étant verrouillé par le levier 7 maintenu dans cette position par poussée de la branche 9 du ressort 8 sur sa partie inférieure.Le câble est en position de repos,tendu par le ressort 23 ou 28.In the three arrangements described, the operation is the same: in the position shown in Fig.1, the lock is closed, the bolt 4 immobilizing the hook 5 and being locked by the lever 7 held in this position by pushing the branch 9 of spring 8 on its lower part.The cable is in the rest position, tensioned by spring 23 or 28.

L'ouverture de la serrure par basculement du pêne 4 grâce à la poussée de la branche 10 du ressort 8 s'effectue dès que le levier 7 est écarté de sa position de verrouillage,à l'encontre de la poussée de la branche 9,en tirant vers la gauche l'extrémité inférieure 11 du levier.Ce déplacement est obtenu soit par traction sur le câble 15,en agissant sur la tirette 18,ce qui tend le ressort 23 ou comprime le ressort 28,soit par traction sur la tige 12 en agissant sur la commande à bouton poussoir 13 ou à barillet 14.Dans ce dernier cas,le ressort 23,28 n'intervient pas car la portion 20 du câble traversant librement le trou ou la fente 21, le câble 15,20 et son embout 22 ou ses embouts 22a,27 ; 29, 30 restent immobiles pendant le basculement du levier 7.The opening of the lock by tilting the bolt 4 thanks to the thrust of the branch 10 of the spring 8 takes place as soon as the lever 7 is moved away from its locking position, against the thrust of the branch 9, by pulling the lower end 11 of the lever to the left. This displacement is obtained either by pulling on the cable 15, by acting on the pull tab 18, which tightens the spring 23 or compresses the spring 28, or by pulling on the rod 12 by acting on the push-button 13 or barrel 14 control. In the latter case, the spring 23,28 does not intervene because the portion 20 of the cable freely passing through the hole or the slot 21, the cable 15,20 and its end piece 22 or its end pieces 22a, 27; 29, 30 remain stationary during the tilting of the lever 7.

Tant que la serrure est ouverte,le levier 7 est maintenu basculé en position de déverrouillage par appui de son extrémité supérieure contre le bord du pène.En revanche dès relâchement de la tirette 18,1e câble 15 reprend sa position de repos grâce au ressort 23,28,la portion 20 se déplaçant librement dans le trou ou la fente 21,et l'embout 22,22a, 29 -s'écartant de l'extrémité 11 du levier. Pour permettre un tel retour en position de repos du barillet ou du bouton-poussoir quand la serrure est ouverte,et le levier 7 basculé,la tige 12 peut comporter,notamment à l'une de ses extrémités,un moyen d'entraînement à course morte,par exemple a lumière 33.As long as the lock is open, the lever 7 is kept tilted in the unlocking position by pressing its upper end against the edge of the bolt. On the other hand as soon as the pull tab 18.1e cable 15 is returned to its rest position thanks to the spring 23 , 28, the portion 20 moving freely in the hole or the slot 21, and the end piece 22, 22a, 29 -departing from the end 11 of the lever. To allow such a return to the rest position of the barrel or of the push button when the lock is open, and the lever 7 tilted, the rod 12 may comprise, in particular at one of its ends, a drive means for running dead, for example in light 33.

La fermeture de la serrure est provoquée par coopération du crochet 5 avec le pène,celui-ci tournant suffisamment dans le sens inverse de celui des aiguilles d'une montre,à l'encontre de la poussée de la branche 10 du ressort 8,pour que le levier 7 reprenne sa position de verrouillage,comme représenté à la Fig.1,par poussée de la branche 9 du ressort 8.The closing of the lock is caused by cooperation of the hook 5 with the bolt, the latter rotating sufficiently in the opposite direction to that of the clockwise, against the thrust of the branch 10 of the spring 8, to that the lever 7 returns to its locking position, as shown in Fig.1, by pushing the branch 9 of the spring 8.

Ce ressort 8 est relativement faible car.il assure uniquement le basculement du pène et du levier,ainsi que le retour de la tige 12 en position de repos, tandis que c'est le ressort 23,28 qui assure,avec une force pouvant être relativement importante, le rappel du câble 15 coulissant dans la gaine 16.La commande à bouton-poussoir ou à barillet ne faisant intervenir,comme on l'a vu plus haut, que le ressort 8,la manoeuvre d'ouverture par cette commande est particulièrement douce.This spring 8 is relatively weak because it only ensures the tilting of the bolt and the lever, as well as the return of the rod 12 in the rest position, while it is the spring 23, 28 which ensures, with a force which can be relatively large, the return of the cable 15 sliding in the sheath 16.
