Description

L'invention est relative à un boîtier médian de serrure antipanique multipoint, du genre de ceux qui comportent un levier de manoeuvre articulé sur un axe transversal, et un mécanisme, commandé par le levier, propre à entraîner, en sens inverse, deux tringles situées de part et d'autre du boîtier et destinées à se trouver verticales lorsque la serrure est en place sur une porte, chaque tringle étant munie à son extrémité éloignée du boîtier d'un pêne pour établir un verrouillage respectivement en un point haut et en un point bas, le levier de manoeuvre comportant un organe de butée unilatéral propre à coopérer avec l'une des deux butées complémentaires pour l'entraînement du mécanisme.The invention relates to a multi-point anti-panic lock central housing, of the type which includes an operating lever articulated on a transverse axis, and a mechanism, controlled by the lever, suitable for driving, in opposite direction, two rods located on either side of the housing and intended to be vertical when the lock is in place on a door, each rod being provided at its end remote from the housing with a bolt to establish a locking respectively at a high point and at a low point, the operating lever comprising a unilateral abutment member capable of cooperating with one of the two complementary abutments for driving the mechanism.

Un tel boîtier médian de serrure antipanique multipoint est, par exemple, décrit dans US-A-1 345 041. Ce boîtier selon US-A-1 345 041 est agencé en sorte que, quel que soit le sens selon lequel le levier est manoeuvré, vers le haut ou vers le bas, les deux tringles sont manoeuvrées en sens inverse ; ceci est obtenu par le fait que les deux butées complémentaires, avec lesquelles coopère le levier pour l'entraînement du mécanisme, sont l'une solidaire d'une tringle et l'autre solidaire de l'autre tringle ; en outre, le mécanisme décrit dans ce document n'est pas symétrique.Such a multi-point panic lock central housing is, for example, described in US-A-1 345 041. This housing according to US-A-1 345 041 is arranged so that, regardless of the direction in which the lever is operated , up or down, the two rods are operated in opposite directions; this is obtained by the fact that the two complementary stops, with which the lever cooperates for driving the mechanism, are one secured to a rod and the other secured to the other rod; furthermore, the mechanism described in this document is not symmetrical.

On sait qu'une porte peut être du type "à droite" ou du type "à gauche" selon que les gonds sont situés d'un côté ou de l'autre de la porte.We know that a door can be of the "right" or "left" type depending on whether the hinges are located on one side or the other of the door.

Les boîtiers médians de serrures antipanique multipoint sont, généralement, de deux types correspondant à chaque type de porte. Il en est ainsi du boîtier selon US-A-1 345 041. Il en résulte qu'il convient de stocker deux types de boîtiers, ce qui complique le travail. L'installateur d'une serrure peut se présenter avec un boîtier qui ne convient pas à la porte sur laquelle il doit être monté, ce qui engendre une perte de temps. En outre, cette existence de deux types de boîtiers, correspondant aux deux types de portes, est source d'erreurs, notamment à la commande et à la livraison des pièces.The central boxes of multi-point panic locks are generally of two types corresponding to each type of door. This is the case according to US-A-1 345 041. It follows that it is necessary to store two types of cases, which complicates the work. The installer of a lock can be presented with a housing which is not suitable for the door on which it is to be mounted, which generates a waste of time. In addition, this existence of two types of boxes, corresponding to the two types of doors, is a source of errors, in particular when ordering and delivering parts.

L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un boîtier médian de serrure antipanique multipoint du genre défini précédemment qui ne présente plus, ou à un degré moindre, les inconvénients évoqués ci-dessus . Il est souhaitable en outre qu'un tel boîtier médian soit d'une réalisation relativement économique et puisse être adapté, par une manoeuvre simple et rapide, aussi bien à une porte "à droite" qu'à une porte " à gauche ".The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a median box for a multipoint anti-panic lock of the kind defined above which has more, or to a lesser degree, the disadvantages mentioned above. It is further desirable that such a central housing is of a relatively economical construction and can be adapted, by a simple and rapid operation, as well to a door "on the right" as a door "on the left".

Selon l'invention, un boîtier médian de serrure antipanique multipoint, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisé par le fait que les deux butées complémentaires sont prévues sur un organe entraîneur du mécanisme et espacées angulairement, le levier pouvant être basculé d'une position à une autre pour coopérer avec la butée complémentaire appropriée afin de permettre indifféremment le montage sur une porte type " à droite " ou " à gauche ", tandis que le mécanisme propre à entraîner les tringles est agencé de manière symétrique de sorte que le boîtier soit totalement réversible.According to the invention, a multi-point anti-panic lock central housing, of the type defined above, is characterized in that the two complementary stops are provided on a drive member of the mechanism and angularly spaced, the lever being able to be tilted from a position to another to cooperate with the appropriate complementary stop in order to allow indifferent mounting on a door type "right" or "left", while the mechanism suitable for driving the rods is arranged symmetrically so that the housing is completely reversible.

L'organe de butée unilatéral du levier peut être constitué par un pion tandis que ledit organe entraîneur est constitué par une plaque sensiblement orthogonale à l'axe du levier, les organes de butée complémentaires étant constitués par les extrémités d'une lumière en arc de cercle, centrée sur l'axe de rotation du levier, et prévue dans ladite plaque. Cette plaque peut être de forme sensiblement rectangulaire et être articulée librement sur l'axe du levier vers un de ses sommets, ladite plaque coopérant, à l'opposé, avec un dispositif de commande des tringles, tandis que ladite lumière en arc de cercle a ses extrémités situées au voisinage des sommets de l'autre diagonale.The unilateral abutment member of the lever can be constituted by a pin while said driving member is constituted by a plate substantially orthogonal to the axis of the lever, the complementary abutment members being constituted by the ends of an arc light circle, centered on the axis of rotation of the lever, and provided in said plate. This plate may be of substantially rectangular shape and be freely articulated on the axis of the lever towards one of its vertices, said plate cooperating, in contrast, with a rod control device, while said light in a circular arc has its ends located near the vertices of the other diagonal.

Avantageusement, l'organe entraîneur est situé dans le plan longitudinal moyen du boîtier et est muni, du côté opposé à l'axe d'articulation du levier, de moyens de poussée faisant saillie de part et d'autre de l'organe entraîneur pour coopérer, suivant le sens de rotation de l'entraîneur, avec l'une de deux pièces identiques montées en sens inverse pour la commande des tringles.Advantageously, the driving member is located in the mean longitudinal plane of the housing and is provided, on the side opposite to the articulation axis of the lever, pushing means projecting on either side of the driving member to cooperate, in the direction of rotation of the driver, with one of two identical parts mounted in opposite directions for controlling the rods.

De préférence, les susdites pièces identiques sont montées coulissantes dans le boîtier et comprennent une partie ayant sensiblement la même largeur que le boîtier, partie à laquelle est reliée une extrémité d'une tringle, cette partie comportant un prolongement, vers l'autre pièce, de largeur légèrement inférieure à la moitié de la largeur du boîtier, ce prolongement étant adjacent à une face du boîtier, l'organe entraîneur étant situé entre les deux prolongements.Preferably, the above identical parts are slidably mounted in the housing and comprise a part having substantially the same width as the housing, part to which is connected one end of a rod, this part comprising an extension, towards the other part, of width slightly less than half the width of the housing, this extension being adjacent to one face of the housing, the driving member being located between the two extensions.

Une pièce tournante est montée à l'intérieur du boîtier, de manière à pivoter autour d'un axe orthogonal au fond du boîtier contre lequel coulissent les susdites pièces de commande des tringles, cette pièce tournante étant propre à transmettre, en l'inversant, le mouvement d'une tringle à l'autre.A rotating part is mounted inside the housing, so as to pivot about an axis orthogonal to the bottom of the housing against which the above-mentioned rod control parts slide, this rotating part being suitable for transmitting, by reversing it, movement from one rod to another.

Selon une première possibilité, la pièce tournante, de forme sensiblement rectangulaire comporte, sur deux côtés opposés, une échancrure ouverte vers l'extérieur propre à coopérer avec un ergot prévu sous chaque pièce coulissante dont il est solidaire.According to a first possibility, the rotating part, of substantially rectangular shape comprises, on two opposite sides, a notch open towards the outside suitable for cooperating with a lug provided under each sliding part of which it is integral.

De préférence, chaque prolongement comporte à son extrémité éloignée de la tringle associée, un épaulement propre à être entraîné par les moyens de poussée du levier formés par une goupille.Preferably, each extension comprises at its end remote from the associated rod, a shoulder capable of being driven by the lever pushing means formed by a pin.

Avantageusement, ledit épaulement comporte une aile transversale sur laquelle vient s'accrocher une extrémité d'un ressort de rappel dont l'autre extrémité est accrochée à un ergot solidaire dudit boîtier.Advantageously, said shoulder comprises a transverse wing on which is hooked one end of a return spring whose other end is attached to a lug secured to said housing.

Chaque prolongement comporte, de préférence, une ouverture allongée traversée par l'ergot.Each extension preferably comprises an elongated opening crossed by the lug.

Selon un autre possibilité, la pièce tournante est liée, à chacune de ses extrémités, par une articulation, notamment formée par un pion, avec le prolongement d'une des pièces coulissantes, lesdites pièces étant montées dans le boîtier avec une possibilité d'oscillation.According to another possibility, the rotating part is linked, at each of its ends, by a joint, in particular formed by a pin, with the extension of one of the sliding parts, said parts being mounted in the housing with a possibility of oscillation.

Avantageusement, le boîtier comprend un ressort unique de torsion, centré sur l'axe de rotation de la pièce tournante, propre à rappeler cette pièce en position de repos, notamment par action sur un pion d'articulation entre la pièce tournante et le prolongement d'une pièce coulissante.Advantageously, the housing comprises a single torsion spring, centered on the axis of rotation of the rotating part, capable of returning this part to the rest position, in particular by action on an articulation pin between the rotating part and the extension d 'a sliding piece.

Les moyens de poussée peuvent comprendre deux pattes espacées angulairement et situées de part et d'autre du plan moyen de l'organe entraîneur.The pushing means may comprise two legs spaced angularly and located on either side of the mean plane of the driving member.

En se reportant à la figure 1, on peut voir une porte 1 à deux battants 2, 3 équipés, sur leurs bords extérieurs verticaux, de gonds respectivement 4, 5.Referring to FIG. 1, one can see a door 1 with two leaves 2, 3 fitted, on their vertical outer edges, with hinges 4, 5 respectively.

Le battant 3, situé du côté droit de la figure 1, est équipé d'une serrure antipanique multipoint 6 comprenant un boîtier médian 7. La serrure 6 peut être commandée, de l'intérieur du bâtiment, par action sur une barre horizontale B portée, à son extrémité située du côté du boîtier 7, par un levier 8 articulé dans ce boîtier et, à son autre extrémité, par un levier articulé dans un autre boîtier 9 fixé sur la porte.The leaf 3, located on the right-hand side of FIG. 1, is equipped with a multipoint panic lock 6 comprising a median box 7. The lock 6 can be controlled, from inside the building, by action on a horizontal bar B carried , at its end situated on the side of the housing 7, by a lever 8 articulated in this housing and, at its other end, by a lever articulated in another housing 9 fixed on the door.

Le boîtier médian 7 est monté adjacent à une gâche médiane 10̸ fixée sur le bord du battant 3 adjacent au battant 2. Cette gâche 10̸ est destinée à recevoir un pêne transversal 11 d'une autre serrure antipanique 12 montée sur le battant 2.The central housing 7 is mounted adjacent to a central strike 10̸ fixed on the edge of the leaf 3 adjacent to the leaf 2. This strike 10̸ is intended to receive a transverse bolt 11 from another panic lock 12 mounted on the leaf 2.

Comme visible sur la figure 2, le levier 8 de la serrure antipanique multipoint 6 est articulé sur un axe transversal 13. Le boîtier 7 est constitué par un profilé en U dont la concavité est tournée du côté opposé au battant 3 et dont les ailes sont disposées verticalement. Les sommets de ces ailes ont été coupés suivant une direction inclinée donnant une forme trapézoïdale à la partie des ailes 14 la plus éloignée du battant 3. Le fond 15 du boîtier, reliant les ailes 14, est appliqué et fixé contre le battant 3.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the lever 8 of the multi-point panic lock 6 is articulated on a transverse axis 13. The housing 7 is constituted by a U-shaped profile whose concavity is turned on the side opposite to the leaf 3 and whose wings are arranged vertically. The tops of these wings were cut in an inclined direction giving a trapezoidal shape at the part of the wings 14 furthest from the leaf 3. The bottom 15 of the housing, connecting the wings 14, is applied and fixed against the leaf 3.

L'axe transversal 13 est porté par les deux ailes 14, vers leur bord éloigné du fond 15.The transverse axis 13 is carried by the two wings 14, towards their edge remote from the bottom 15.

Le boîtier 7 comporte un mécanisme 16, commandé par le levier 8, propre à entraîner, en sens inverse, deux tringles 17, 18 situées de part et d'autre du boîtier 7, dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre. Ces tringles 17, 18 sont destinées à se trouver verticales (voir figure 1) lorsque la serrure est en place sur le battant 3 de la porte 1. Chaque tringle 17, 18 est munie, à son extrémité éloignée du boîtier 7, d'un pêne p pour établir un verrouillage en un point respectivement haut et bas.The housing 7 comprises a mechanism 16, controlled by the lever 8, capable of driving, in the opposite direction, two rods 17, 18 located on either side of the housing 7, in the extension of one another. These rods 17, 18 are intended to be vertical (see Figure 1) when the lock is in place on the leaf 3 of the door 1. Each rod 17, 18 is provided, at its end remote from the housing 7, with a latch p to establish a lock at a high and low point respectively.

Le levier de manoeuvre 8 comporte, à son extrémité comprise entre les ailes 14, un organe 19 de butée unitalérale constitué par un pion 20̸ orthogonal au plan moyen du levier 8, et au plan des ailes 14.The operating lever 8 comprises, at its end lying between the wings 14, a unitary abutment member 19 constituted by a pin 20̸ orthogonal to the mean plane of the lever 8, and to the plane of the wings 14.

Le pion 20̸ est propre à coopérer avec l'une de deux butées 21, 22 complémentaires, espacées angulairement et prévues sur un organe entraîneur 23.The pin 20̸ is suitable for cooperating with one of two complementary stops 21, 22, angularly spaced and provided on a driving member 23.

Les organes de butée 21, 22 sont constitués par les extrémités d'une lumière 24 en arc de cercle centrée sur l'axe 13 du levier.The stop members 21, 22 are formed by the ends of a slot 24 in an arc centered on the axis 13 of the lever.

L'organe entraîneur 23 est constitué par une plaque de forme sensiblement rectangulaire dont un sommet est articulé librement sur l'axe 13 du levier et dont le sommet opposé est traversé par un poussoir 25, formé par une goupille, orthogonal au plan moyen de l'organe 23 et faisant saillie de part et d'autre de cet organe. Ce poussoir 25 est propre à coopérer avec un dispositif 26 de commande des tringles 17, 18. La lumière 24 a ses extrémités 21, 22 situées au voisinage des sommets de l'autre diagonale de l'organe 23.The driving member 23 is constituted by a plate of substantially rectangular shape whose apex is freely articulated on the axis 13 of the lever and the opposite apex of which is crossed by a pusher 25, formed by a pin, orthogonal to the mean plane of the 'organ 23 and projecting from either side of this organ. This pusher 25 is suitable for cooperating with a device 26 for controlling the rods 17, 18. The light 24 has its ends 21, 22 located in the vicinity of the vertices of the other diagonal of organ 23.

L'entraîneur 23 est situé dans le plan longitudinal moyen du boîtier 7 et son poussoir 25 est prévu pour coopérer, suivant le sens de rotation de l'entraîneur 23, avec l'une des deux pièces identiques 27a, 27b montées en sens inverse pour la commande des tringles 17, 18.The driver 23 is located in the mean longitudinal plane of the housing 7 and its pusher 25 is provided to cooperate, in the direction of rotation of the driver 23, with one of the two identical parts 27 a , 27 b mounted in the opposite direction reverse for the control of the rods 17, 18.

Chaque pièce 27a, 27b est montée coulissante dans le boîtier 7 contre le fond 15 de ce dernier. La pièce 27b est décrite en détail ci-après, notamment avec référence à la figure 7. La même description s'applique à la pièce 27a dont les parties semblables sont désignées par les mêmes références numériques affectées de la lettre a au lieu de la lettre b.Each part 27 a , 27 b is slidably mounted in the housing 7 against the bottom 15 of the latter. The part 27 b is described in detail below, in particular with reference to FIG. 7. The same description applies to the part 27 a , the similar parts of which are designated by the same reference numerals assigned with the letter a instead of the letter b .

La pièce 27b comprend, à une extrémité, une partie 28b, en forme de plaque rectangulaire, ayant la même largeur que la largeur interne du boîtier 7 de manière à être guidée par les faces internes des ailes 14. Cette plaque 28b comporte, sur son bord tourné vers la tige 18, dans sa région médiane, un prolongement muni d'une fourche 29b située dans un plan transversal orthogonal au plan de la plaque 28b. Cette fourche 29b comporte une encoche centrale ouverte vers le haut propre à recevoir, entre ses ailes, le fond d'une gorge 30̸b ménagée à l'extrémité de la tringle 18. Les branches de la fourche 29b sont ainsi emprisonnées, suivant la direction de coulissement de la tringle 18, entre les parois délimitant la gorge 30̸b, ce qui établit une liaison en translation entre la pièce 27b et la tringle 18.The part 27 b comprises, at one end, a part 28 b , in the form of a rectangular plate, having the same width as the internal width of the housing 7 so as to be guided by the internal faces of the wings 14. This plate 28 b comprises , on its edge facing the rod 18, in its median region, an extension provided with a fork 29 b situated in a transverse plane orthogonal to the plane of the plate 28 b . This fork 29 b has a central notch open upwards suitable for receiving, between its wings, the bottom of a groove 30̸ b formed at the end of the rod 18. The branches of the fork 29 b are thus trapped, according to the sliding direction of the rod 18, between the walls delimiting the groove 30̸ b , which establishes a connection in translation between the part 27 b and the rod 18.

La plaque 28b comporte, en direction de l'autre pièce 27a, un prolongement 31b adjacent à une face interne d'une aile 14 du boîtier et dont la largeur l est légèrement inférieure à la moitié de la largeur interne L (figure 3) du boîtier.The plate 28 b comprises, in the direction of the other part 27 a , an extension 31 b adjacent to an internal face of a wing 14 of the housing and whose width l is slightly less than half the internal width L (FIG. 3) of the housing.

Du fait que les deux pièces 27a, 27b sont tournées en sens inverse, chaque prolongement 31a, 31b (voir figure 3) est adjacent à une aile différente du boîtier de sorte qu'un espace libre existe entre les bords voisins des prolongements 31a et 31b. L'organe entraîneur 23 traverse cet espace.Because the two parts 27 a , 27 b are turned in opposite directions, each extension 31 a , 31 b (see FIG. 3) is adjacent to a different wing of the housing so that a free space exists between the neighboring edges of the extensions 31 a and 31 b . The drive member 23 passes through this space.

Le prolongement 31b comporte, à son extrémité éloignée de la fourche 29b et de la tringle 18 associée, un épaulement 32b dont le plan est orthogonal à la plaque 28b, tout en étant parallèle à la direction longitudinale du prolongement 31b, ainsi qu'aux ailes 14. Le poussoir 25 de l'entraîneur 23 est propre à coopérer avec la tranche verticale 33b de l'épaulement 32b.The extension 31 b comprises, at its end remote from the fork 29 b and from the associated rod 18, a shoulder 32 b whose plane is orthogonal to the plate 28 b , while being parallel to the longitudinal direction of the extension 31 b , as well as to the wings 14. The pusher 25 of the driver 23 is able to cooperate with the vertical edge 33 b of the shoulder 32 b .

Le prolongement 31b comporte en outre une aile transversale 34b orthogonale à l'épaulement 32b et au plan moyen du prolongement 31b. Cette aile 34b comporte un trou 35b pour l'accrochage de l'extrémité d'un ressort de rappel 36b dont l'autre extrémité est accrochée à un ergot 37b solidaire du fond 15 du boîtier. L'ergot 37b, perpendiculaire au fond 15, traverse une ouverture allongée 38b prévue dans le prolongement 31b de manière à guider le déplacement en translation de la pièce 27b.The extension 31 b also comprises a transverse wing 34 b orthogonal to the shoulder 32 b and to the mean plane of the extension 31 b . This wing 34 b has a hole 35 b for hooking the end of a return spring 36 b , the other end of which is hooked to a lug 37 b secured to the bottom 15 of the housing. The lug 37 b , perpendicular to the bottom 15, passes through an elongated opening 38 b provided in the extension 31 b so as to guide the movement in translation of the part 27 b .

Comme bien visible sur les figures 2 et 5, le prolongement 31b a son plan moyen déporté par rapport au plan moyen de la plaque 28b, de manière à se trouver écarté du fond 15 ; une partie coudée 39b assure la transition entre la plaque 28b et le prolongement 31b.As clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 5, the extension 31b has its mean plane offset relative to the mean plane of the plate 28b , so as to be spaced from the bottom 15; a bent portion 39 b ensures the transition between the plate 28 b and the extension 31 b .

Une pièce tournante 40̸ est disposée dans l'espace compris entre les prolongements 31a, 31b et le fond 15. Cette pièce 40̸ est montée rotative autour d'un axe 41 orthogonal au fond 15, à mi-distance des ailes 14, et à l'aplomb de l'axe 13.A rotating part 40 is disposed in the space between the extensions 31a, 31b and the base 15. This part 40 is rotatably mounted about an axis 41 orthogonal to the base 15, midway between wings 14 and plumb with axis 13.

La pièce 40̸ est constituée par une sorte de plaque à contour sensiblement rectangulaire, à sommets arrondis, dont les dimensions sont telles que ladite plaque puisse tourner entre les ailes 14. La pièce 40̸ comporte, au milieu de chacun de ses petits côtés, une échancrure 42a, 42b ouverte vers l'extérieur, propre à recevoir un ergot 43a, 43b faisant saillie sous le prolongement 31a, 31b associé.The part 40̸ is constituted by a sort of plate with a substantially rectangular outline, with vertices rounded, the dimensions of which are such that said plate can rotate between the wings 14. The component 40 comprises, in the middle of each of its short sides, a notch 42 a, 42 b open to the outside, adapted to receive a lug 43 a , 43 b projecting under the associated extension 31 a , 31 b .

La pièce 40̸ est propre à transmettre, en l'inversant, le mouvement d'une tringle 17 à l'autre tringle 18 ou inversement.The part 40̸ is suitable for transmitting, by reversing it, the movement of a rod 17 to the other rod 18 or vice versa.

Les pièces 27a, 27b sont symétriques par rapport au centre de rotation de la pièce 40̸.The parts 27 a , 27 b are symmetrical with respect to the center of rotation of the part 40̸.

Ceci étant, le fonctionnement du boîtier 7 et de la serrure anti-panique comprenant un tel boîtier sont les suivants.However, the operation of the housing 7 and the panic lock comprising such a housing are as follows.

Le levier 8 en position de repos est incliné, relativement au fond 15, de manière telle que le pion 20̸ soit en butée contre l'extrémité 21 ou l'extrémité 22 de la lumière 24.The lever 8 in the rest position is inclined, relative to the bottom 15, so that the pin 20 le is in abutment against the end 21 or the end 22 of the slot 24.

Dans la position de repos représentée sur la figure 2, le pion 20̸ est en appui contre l'extrémité 21 de la lumière 24, ce qui correspond à un type de porte, par exemple une porte type "à gauche".In the rest position shown in Figure 2, the pin 20̸ is in abutment against the end 21 of the light 24, which corresponds to a type of door, for example a door type "left".

Si ce boîtier 7 doit être monté sur une porte type "à droite", il suffit de faire pivoter le levier 8, autour de l'axe 13, dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre, selon la représentation des figures 2 et 5, de manière à amener le pion 20̸ en butée contre l'autre extrémité 22 de la lumière 24.If this box 7 is to be mounted on a door of the "right" type, it suffices to pivot the lever 8, around the axis 13, anticlockwise, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, so as to bring the pin 20̸ into abutment against the other end 22 of the light 24.

Il apparaît donc que l'adaptation du boîtier de la serrure à une porte du type "à droite" ou du type "à gauche" est immédiate, à l'aide d'une opération simple et ne nécessitant pas un outillage spécifique.It therefore appears that the adaptation of the lock housing to a door of the "right" type or of the "left" type is immediate, using a simple operation and not requiring specific tools.

Le fonctionnement de la serrure, quelle que soit la position de repos du levier 8, est le même et va être décrit pour la position du levier 8 représentée sur la figure 2.The operation of the lock, whatever the rest position of the lever 8, is the same and will be described for the position of the lever 8 shown in figure 2.

En agissant sur la barre de commande (voir figure 1), on provoque la rotation du levier dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre selon la représentation de la figure 2. Le pion 20̸ agit contre la butée 21 et provoque le déplacement de l'entraîneur 23 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre autour de l'axe 13.By acting on the control bar (see Figure 1), the lever is rotated clockwise as shown in Figure 2. The pin 20̸ acts against the stop 21 and causes the displacement of the 'coach 23 clockwise around axis 13.

Le poussoir 25 agit contre la tranche 33b et déplace la pièce 27b à l'encontre du ressort 36b. La tringle 18 est tirée dans le boîtier 7 et le pêne situé à l'extrémité inférieure de la tringle 18 (voir figure 1) est déverrouillé.The pusher 25 acts against the edge 33 b and moves the part 27 b against the spring 36 b . The rod 18 is pulled into the housing 7 and the bolt located at the lower end of the rod 18 (see Figure 1) is unlocked.

Simultanément, la pièce tournante 40̸ est entraînée en rotation par l'ergot 43b dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre (selon la représentation de la figure 3) autour de l'axe 41.Simultaneously, the rotating part 40 is rotated by the lug 43 b in the direction of counterclockwise (according to the representation of Figure 3) about the axis 41.

La configuration du boîtier, lorsque le levier 8 est enfoncé, est représentée respectivement sur les figures 5 et 6. La pièce tournante 40̸, commandée par le déplacement de la pièce 27b, provoque la translation en sens inverse de la pièce 27a et donc le déplacement de la tringle 17 dont le pêne supérieur est également déverrouillé.The configuration of the housing, when the lever 8 is depressed, is shown respectively in FIGS. 5 and 6. The rotating part 40̸, controlled by the movement of the part 27 b , causes the translation in the opposite direction of the part 27 a and therefore the displacement of the rod 17 whose upper bolt is also unlocked.

Lorsque le levier 8 est relâché, les ressorts 36a, 36b rappellent les pièces 27a, 27b vers la position de fermeture. La tranche 33b agit sur le poussoir 25 et rappelle l'entraîneur 23 ainsi que le levier 8 en position de repos représentée sur la figure 2.When the lever 8 is released, the springs 36 a , 36 b recall the parts 27 a , 27 b towards the closed position. The section 33 b acts on the pusher 25 and recalls the driver 23 as well as the lever 8 in the rest position shown in FIG. 2.

En se reportant aux figures 8 à 10̸, on peut voir une variante de réalisation du boîtier de serrure antipanique conforme à l'invention.Referring to Figures 8 to 10̸, we can see an alternative embodiment of the panic lock housing according to the invention.

Dans cette variante, les éléments identiques ou jouant des rôles analogues à des éléments déjà décrits à propos des figures précédentes portent les mêmes références augmentées du chiffre 10̸0̸ et leur description ne sera par reprise ou ne sera reprise que succinctement.In this variant, the elements identical or playing roles analogous to elements already described in connection with the preceding figures bear the same references increased by the number 10̸0̸ and their description will not be repeated or will be resumed only succinctly.

La pièce tournante 140̸, de forme rectangulaire allongée, est liée, à chacune de ses extrémités, par une articulation, notamment formée par un pion 143a, 143b, avec prolongement correspondant 131a, 131b des pièces coulissantes 127a, 127b. Cette liaison, qui simplifie la réalisation, provoque un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe 141 des extrémités des prolongements 131a, 131b.The rotating part 140̸, of elongated rectangular shape, is linked, at each of its ends, by a joint, in particular formed by a pin 143 a , 143 b , with corresponding extension 131 a , 131 b of the sliding parts 127 a , 127 b . This connection, which simplifies the production, causes a rotational movement around the axis 141 of the ends of the extensions 131 a , 131 b .

Dans ces conditions, les pièces coulissantes 127a, 127b sont montées avec une possibilité d'oscillation à l'intérieur du boîtier 10̸7. En particulier, les parties 128a, 128b présentent des bords arrondis 44a, 44b en contact avec les parois internes du boîtier 10̸7 pour assurer un guidage de l'oscillation.Under these conditions, the sliding parts 127 a , 127 b are mounted with the possibility of oscillation inside the housing 10̸7. In particular, the parts 128 a , 128 b have rounded edges 44 a , 44 b in contact with the internal walls of the housing 10̸7 to ensure guidance of the oscillation.

Ces parties 128a, 128b se prolongent par des zones de largeur plus faible, de sorte qu'un jeu j existe entre les bords de ces zones et la surface interne du boîtier.These parts 128 a , 128 b are extended by zones of smaller width, so that a clearance j exists between the edges of these zones and the internal surface of the housing.

Un ressort unique de torsion 136, comportant un enroulement dans lequel est enfilé l'axe 141, est prévu pour rappeler la pièce 140̸ et les tringles 117, 118 en position de repos. Une branche 45 de ce ressort, recourbée à angle droit, prend appui contre une paroi interne du boîtier 10̸7 ; une autre branche 46 du ressort assure le rappel de la pièce 140̸ en prenant appui contre le pion 143b.A single torsion spring 136, comprising a winding in which the axis 141 is threaded, is provided to return the part 140̸ and the rods 117, 118 in the rest position. A branch 45 of this spring, bent at a right angle, bears against an internal wall of the housing 10̸7; another branch 46 of the spring recalls the part 140̸ by pressing against the pin 143 b .

La pièce 140̸ est ainsi sollicitée dans le sens d'horloge, selon la représentation de la figure 9, par ce ressort 136.The part 140̸ is thus urged in the clockwise direction, according to the representation of FIG. 9, by this spring 136.

Les moyens de poussée 125 sont avantageusement formés par deux pattes 125a, 125b découpées dans la plaque 123, espacées angulairement l'une de l'autre et rabattues de part et d'autre du plan moyen de l'organe entraîneur 123. Ces pièces 125a, 125b encadrent les pions 143a, 143b et sont propres à agir contre ces pions pour assurer l'entraînement du mécanisme par l'intermédiaire du levier 10̸8 et de l'organe 123.The pushing means 125 are advantageously formed by two tabs 125 a , 125 b cut from the plate 123, angularly spaced from one another and folded down on either side of the mean plane of the driving member 123. These parts 125 a , 125 b frame the pins 143 a , 143 b and are capable of acting against these pins to ensure the drive of the mechanism by the 'through the lever 10̸8 and the member 123.

Ainsi, selon cette variante, le poussoir 25 des figures 2 à 7 est remplacé par les pattes 125a, 125b. Les plaques 127a, 127b ne comportent plus de lumières allongées telles que 38a, 38b (voir figure 3).Thus, according to this variant, the pusher 25 of Figures 2 to 7 is replaced by the legs 125 a , 125 b . The plates 127 a , 127 b no longer have elongated lights such as 38 a , 38 b (see FIG. 3).

Un seul ressort de torsion remplace deux ressorts de traction.A single torsion spring replaces two tension springs.

Les ergots 43a, 43b des figures 2 à 6, sont remplacés par les pions 143a, 143b, tandis que les ergots 37a, 37b, solidaires du fond du boîtier sur les figures 2 à 6, ont disparu de la variante des figures 8 à 10̸.The pins 43 a , 43 b of Figures 2 to 6, are replaced by the pins 143 a , 143 b , while the pins 37 a , 37 b , integral with the bottom of the housing in Figures 2 to 6, have disappeared from the variant of Figures 8 to 10̸.

Deux axes 47, 48, fixés entre les parois internes du boîtier 10̸7, sont prévus, parallèlement à l'axe 113, au voisinage du fond du boîtier de manière à retenir les plaques 127a, 127b.Two axes 47, 48, fixed between the internal walls of the housing 10̸7, are provided, parallel to the axis 113, in the vicinity of the bottom of the housing so as to retain the plates 127 a , 127 b .

Le fonctionnement de cette variante de réalisation est semblable à celui décrit à propos des figures 2 à 7 et il n'apparaît pas utile de le décrire à nouveau.The operation of this alternative embodiment is similar to that described in connection with FIGS. 2 to 7 and it does not appear useful to describe it again.

Claims (14)

  1. Intermediate casing for a multipoint panic bolt comprising an actuating lever (8, 108) pivoted to a transverse axis (13, 113), and a mechanism (16, 116) controlled by the lever, that displaces in opposite directions two bars (17, 18; 117, 118) located on either side of the casing and designed to be vertical when the panic bolt is fitted to a door, each bar being fitted at its end furthest from the casing with a bolt (p) designed to engage respectively at a high point and a low point, the actuating lever (8, 108) comprising a unilateral abutment (19, 119) that cooperates with one of two complementary abutments (21, 22; 121, 122) to actuate the mechanism, characterized in that the two complementary abutments are part of a plate (23; 123) that actuates the mechanism and are spaced at an angle, such that the lever can swing from one position to another to cooperate with the appropriate complementary abutment so that the panic bolt can be fitted equally well to a door hinged on the right or on the left, whereas the mechanism (16, 116) that displaces the bars is located symmetrically in such a way that the casing is fully reversible.
  2. Casing conforming to Claim 1, characterized in that the abutment (19; 119) consists of a pin (20; 120), while the said actuator plate (23; 123) consists of a plate essentially orthogonal to the axis (13; 113) of the lever, and the complementary abutments (21, 22; 121, 122) consist of the ends of a curved slot (24; 124) centred upon the rotation axis of the lever and provided in the said actuator plate (23; 123).
  3. Casing conforming to Claims 1 or 2, characterized in that the plate (23; 123) is of essentially rectangular shape and pivots freely about the axis (13; 113) of the lever near one of its corners, the said plate cooperating with a control device (26; 126) for the bars, while the said curved slot (24; 124) has its ends situated close to the corners joined by the other diagonal.
  4. Casing conforming to any of the above Claims, characterized in that the actuator plate (23; 123) is located in the central longitudinal plane of the casing (7; 107) and is fitted, on the side opposite the pivoting axis of the lever, with lugs (25; 125a, 125b) projecting on either side of the actuator plate (23; 123) which cooperate, depending on the rotation direction of the actuator plate, with one of two identical components (27a, 27b; 127a, 127b) assembled on opposite sides to control the bars.
  5. Casing conforming to Claim 4, characterized in that the identical components (27a, 27b; 127a, 127b) are so assembled as to slide inside the casing (7, 107) and comprise a part (28a, 28b; 128a, 128b) essentially the same width as the casing to which the end of one bar (17, 18; 117, 118) is attached, this part (28a, 28b; 128a, 128b) comprising an extension (31a, 31b; 131a, 131b), towards the other component, of width slightly less than half the width of the casing, this extension being adjacent to one face of the casing, and the actuator plate (23; 123) being located between the two extensions (31a, 31b; 131a, 131b).
  6.
