Description

La présente invention concerne une ferrure pour ouvrant coulissant pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, comportant un boítier allongé adapté à être inséré dans une lumière allongée ménagée dans la paroi intérieure de l'ouvrant, une plaque extérieure faisant partie intégrante du boítier et adaptée à recouvrir la lumière allongée, et un porte-pêne adapté à coulisser dans la direction longitudinale et à l'intérieur du boítier, le porte-pêne comportant au moins un trou taraudé d'axe perpendiculaire à la plaque extérieure et adapté à recevoir une vis pour le blocage d'un pêne sur le porte-pêne.The present invention relates to a fitting for sliding leaf for door, window or the like, comprising an elongated housing adapted to be inserted into an elongated light formed in the inner wall of the opening, an outer plate forming part integral with the housing and suitable for covering the light elongated, and a bolt holder adapted to slide in the longitudinal direction and inside the case, the latch holder having at least one threaded pin hole perpendicular to the outer plate and suitable for receive a screw for blocking a bolt on the bolt holder.

On connaít des ferrures dans lesquelles plusieurs trous prévus pour le réglage et le blocage du pêne sur le porte-pêne débouchent sur la face extérieure du coulisseau, de sorte que les têtes des vis de réglage et/ou de blocage sont visibles depuis l'extérieur. La présence de tels trous est indésirable sur le plan esthétique et diminue la résistance du porte-pêne. L'obturation de ces trous de la plaque extérieure constitue un problème auquel il est difficile de trouver une solution satisfaisante sur le plan de la fiabilité comme sur le plan de l'aspect esthétique.We know fittings in which several holes provided for adjusting and blocking the bolt on the bolt holder open on the outside of the slide so that the heads of the adjusting screws and / or blocking are visible from the outside. The presence of such holes is undesirable on the plan aesthetic and reduces the resistance of the bolt holder. Sealing these holes in the outer plate is a problem that is difficult to find a satisfactory solution in terms of reliability as in terms of aesthetics.

On connaít également des ferrures comportant, dans la plaqué extérieure, un orifice d'accès au porte-pêne dans la position verrouillée de celui-ci. Cet orifice permet de régler le pêne par rapport à la gâche dans la position fermée de l'ouvrant, et de bloquer le pêne dans cette position fermée, ce qui garantit un réglage optimal du pêne. Toutefois, l'orifice de la plaque extérieure doit être obturé par un cache peu esthétique, qui peut tomber ou être perdu.We also know fittings comprising, in the outer plate, an access hole to the bolt holder in the locked position of it. This orifice allows the bolt to be adjusted in relation to the strike in the closed position of the sash, and block the bolt in this closed position, which guarantees optimal adjustment of the bolt. However, the orifice of the outer plate must be closed by a little cover aesthetic, which can fall or be lost.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des ferrures connues, et de proposer une ferrure du type précité comportant un orifice et des moyens d'obturation de cet orifice présentant un aspect esthétique satisfaisant et adaptés à permettre un accès facile et fiable à cet orifice.The object of the present invention is to remedy to the disadvantages of known fittings, and to propose a fitting of the aforementioned type comprising an orifice and sealing means of this orifice having an appearance satisfactory aesthetics and adapted to allow access easy and reliable at this port.

Suivant la présente invention, la ferrure du type précité est caractérisée en ce que la plaque extérieure comporte un orifice d'accès à la vis et au trou taraudé, situé dans l'axe du trou taraudé lorsque le porte-pêne est dans sa position verrouillée, et en ce que la ferrure comporte un bouchon adapté à obturer ledit orifice, des moyens permettant de faire disparaítre le bouchon à l'intérieur du boítier pour permettre un accès à la vis, et des moyens pour ramener le bouchon dans sa position normale dans laquelle il obture l'orifice.According to the present invention, the fitting of the aforementioned type is characterized in that the plate exterior has an access hole to the screw and tapped hole, located in the axis of the tapped hole when the bolt holder is in its locked position, and that the fitting has a plug adapted to close off said orifice, means making it possible to make remove the cap inside the case to allow access to the screw, and means for bringing back the plug in its normal position in which it closes the opening.

Puisque l'on peut faire disparaítre le bouchon à l'intérieur du boítier, on peut régler le pêne par rapport à la gâche dans la position verrouillée du porte-pêne, puis on ramène le bouchon dans sa position normale. On peut ainsi régler et bloquer de façon optimale le pêne par rapport à la gâche. Le bouchon est beaucoup plus discret qu'un cache extérieur, ne risque pas d'être endommagé ou d'être perdu.Since we can remove the cap to inside the case, you can adjust the bolt by compared to the strike plate in the locked position of the bolt holder, then return the plug to its position normal. We can thus adjust and block in a way optimal the bolt compared to the strike. The cap is much more discreet than an exterior cover, does not risk not to be damaged or to be lost.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, la ferrure 1 pour ouvrant coulissant (non représenté) pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, comporte une coquille formant un boítier allongé 2 adapté à être inséré dans une lumière allongée (non représentée) ménagée dans la paroi intérieure (non représentée) de l'ouvrant, une plaque extérieure de propreté 3 faisant partie intégrante du boítier 2 et adaptée à recouvrir la lumière allongée, et un porte-pêne 4 adapté à coulisser dans la direction longitudinale 5 et à l'intérieur du boítier 2. Le porte-pêne 4 comporte au moins un trou taraudé 6 d'axe 7 perpendiculaire à la plaque extérieure 3 et adapté à recevoir une vis 8 (voir figure 4) pour le blocage d'un pêne 31 sur le porte-pêne 4.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the fitting 1 for sliding leaf (not shown) for door, window or the like, has a shell forming an elongated housing 2 suitable to be inserted in an elongated light (not shown) formed in the inner wall (not shown) of the opening, an outer plate of cleanliness 3 forming an integral part of the housing 2 and suitable for covering the elongated light, and a bolt holder 4 suitable for sliding in the direction longitudinal 5 and inside the housing 2. The bolt holder 4 has at least one tapped hole 6 with axis 7 perpendicular to the outer plate 3 and adapted to receive a screw 8 (see Figure 4) for blocking a bolt 31 on the bolt holder 4.

Suivant la présente invention, la plaque extérieure 3 comporte un orifice 9 d'accès à la vis 8 et au trou taraudé 6. L'orifice 9 est situé dans l'axe 7 du trou taraudé 6 lorsque le porte-pêne 4 est dans sa position verrouillée représentée à la figure 1.According to the present invention, the plate outer 3 has an orifice 9 for access to the screw 8 and to the tapped hole 6. The orifice 9 is located in the axis 7 of the tapped hole 6 when the bolt holder 4 is in its locked position shown in Figure 1.

La ferrure 1 comporte un bouchon 10 adapté à obturer l'orifice 9, des moyens permettant de faire disparaítre le bouchon 10 à l'intérieur du boítier 2 pour permettre un accès à la vis 8, et des moyens pour ramener le bouchon 10 dans sa position normale dans laquelle il obture l'orifice 9.The fitting 1 comprises a plug 10 adapted to close the orifice 9, means making it possible to disappear the plug 10 inside the housing 2 to allow access to the screw 8, and means for return the plug 10 to its normal position in which it closes the opening 9.

Comme représenté aux figures, le porte-pêne 4 comporte sur sa face 11 adjacente à la plaque extérieure 3, un évidement 12 s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale 5 du boítier 2, en face de l'orifice 9, et adapté à recevoir le bouchon 10 dans la position déverrouillée comme dans la position verrouillée du porte-pêne 4.As shown in the figures, the bolt holder 4 has on its face 11 adjacent to the outer plate 3, a recess 12 extending in the direction longitudinal 5 of the housing 2, opposite the orifice 9, and adapted to receive the plug 10 in the position unlocked as in the locked position of the bolt holder 4.

Le bouchon 10 comporte sur sa face 13 tournée vers le fond 14 de l'évidement 12 des moyens formant ressort adaptés à prendre appui sur ledit fond 14 pour solliciter en permanence le bouchon 10 dans le sens 15 vers sa position normale des figures 1 et 2 dans laquelle il obture l'orifice 9.The plug 10 has on its face 13 turned towards the bottom 14 of the recess 12 of the means forming spring adapted to bear on said bottom 14 for permanently apply the plug 10 in direction 15 towards its normal position in Figures 1 and 2 in which it closes the opening 9.

Les moyens formant ressort sont schématisés aux figures 1 et 2 par un rectangle 16.The spring means are shown schematically in the Figures 1 and 2 with a rectangle 16.

Comme on le verra plus loin en liaison avec les figures 9 et 10, les moyens formant ressort 16 sont adaptés à être comprimés par une pression, schématisée par la flèche 17, exercée depuis l'extérieur sur le bouchon 10 dans le sens 18, opposé au sens 15, vers l'intérieur du boítier 2, sur une distance suffisante pour faire entrer le bouchon 10 complètement à l'intérieur de l'évidement 12, entre le fond 14 de l'évidement 12 et la face interne 19 de la plaque extérieure 3.As will be seen below in connection with the Figures 9 and 10, the spring means 16 are adapted to be compressed by pressure, shown diagrammatically by arrow 17, exerted from the outside on the plug 10 in direction 18, opposite to direction 15, towards inside the housing 2, over a sufficient distance to insert the plug 10 completely inside the recess 12, between the bottom 14 of the recess 12 and the internal face 19 of the plate exterior 3.

Le porte-pêne 4 comporte sur le fond 14 de l'évidement 12 deux éléments 20, 21 en saillie vers la plaque extérieure 3 et situés de manière telle que dans la position déverrouillée du porte-pêne 4 représentée à la figure 2, ces deux éléments 20, 21 en saillie sont placés dans la direction longitudinale 5 du porte-pêne 4 de part et d'autre du bouchon 10. The bolt holder 4 has on the bottom 14 of the recess 12 two elements 20, 21 projecting towards the outer plate 3 and located so that in the unlocked position of the bolt holder 4 shown in FIG. 2, these two projecting elements 20, 21 are placed in the longitudinal direction 5 of the bolt holder 4 on either side of the plug 10.

Comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2, les moyens formant ressort 16 sont agencés de manière telle que, dans la position normale du bouchon 10 en place dans l'orifice 9, les moyens formant ressort 16 ne gênent pas le passage de l'un au moins, 21, des éléments 20, 21 en saillie lors du coulissement du porte-pêne 4 dans la direction 5, tandis que dans la position comprimée des moyens formant ressort 16 (voir ci-dessous) les éléments en saillie 20, 21 sont adaptés à venir en prise avec le bouchon 10 pour déplacer ledit bouchon 10 dans un sens ou dans l'autre lors du coulissement du porte-pêne 4 dans la direction longitudinale 5.As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the means forming a spring 16 are arranged in such a way that, in the normal position of the plug 10 in place in the orifice 9, the spring means 16 do not interfere the passage of at least one, 21, of the elements 20, 21 in projection when the bolt holder 4 slides in the direction 5, while in the compressed position of spring means 16 (see below) the elements protruding 20, 21 are adapted to engage with the plug 10 to move said plug 10 in one direction or in the other when sliding the bolt holder 4 in the longitudinal direction 5.

Les éléments en saillie 20, 21 s'étendent dans le sens 15 vers la plaque extérieure 3 sur une hauteur au plus égale à la hauteur selon laquelle peuvent être écrasés lesdits éléments 16 formant ressort.The projecting elements 20, 21 extend in direction 15 towards the outer plate 3 over a height at most equal to the height according to which can be crushed said elements 16 forming a spring.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 3 et 4, les moyens formant ressort 16 sont des pattes 22 écartées l'une de l'autre dans la direction transversale 23 du boítier 2. Ainsi, les éléments en saillie 20, 21, qui sont ménagés sensiblement sur l'axe longitudinal 24 du porte-pêne 4 peuvent facilement,lors du coulissement du porte-pêne 4, passer entre les pattes 22 du bouchon 10.In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the spring means 16 are legs 22 apart from each other in the direction transverse 23 of the housing 2. Thus, the elements in projection 20, 21, which are formed substantially on the axis longitudinal 24 of the bolt holder 4 can easily, when sliding the bolt holder 4, pass between the legs 22 of the plug 10.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4, les quatre pattes 22 représentées sont en saillie dans le sens 18 vers le fond 14 de l'évidement 12 et sensiblement radialement vers l'extérieur du bouchon 10.In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the four legs 22 shown are projecting in the direction 18 towards the bottom 14 of the recess 12 and substantially radially outward from the plug 10.

Ainsi, deux pattes 22 sont en saillie dans la direction transversale 23 du boítier 2 respectivement vers chacune des deux parois latérales longitudinales 25, 26 du boítier 2.Thus, two legs 22 are projecting in the transverse direction 23 of the housing 2 respectively towards each of the two longitudinal side walls 25, 26 of the housing 2.

De même, deux pattes 22 sont en saillie dans un sens et dans l'autre dans la direction longitudinale 5 du boítier 2. Similarly, two legs 22 are projecting in a direction and in the other in the longitudinal direction 5 case 2.

Il est nécessaire de faire en sorte que le bouchon 10 ne puisse pas tourner sur lui-même à l'intérieur de l'évidement 12, afin d'éviter que les moyens formant ressort 16 puissent faire obstacle au déplacement des éléments en saillie 20, 21 lors du coulissement du porte-pêne 4, et donc au bon fonctionnement de la ferrure.It is necessary to ensure that the plug 10 cannot turn on itself at inside the recess 12, in order to prevent the spring means 16 can hinder the displacement of the projecting elements 20, 21 during sliding of the bolt holder 4, and therefore to the correct fitting operation.

Le bouchon 10 comporte des moyens pour prendre appui sur les parois longitudinales latérales 25, 26 du boítier 2 pour maintenir le bouchon 10 dans une position dans laquelle les moyens formant ressort 16, 22 ne gênent pas le passage des éléments en saillie 20, 21.The plug 10 includes means for taking support on the longitudinal side walls 25, 26 of the case 2 to hold the plug 10 in a position in which the spring means 16, 22 do not not obstruct the passage of the projecting elements 20, 21.

En ce sens les moyens 16 sont configurés à leurs extrémités de sorte que, une fois mis sous contrainte élastique, ils prennent appui sur les parois longitudinales latérales 25, 26 du boítier de sorte que les moyens formant ressort 16 ne gênent d'aucune manière et en aucune position le passage des éléments en saillie 20 et 21.In this sense, the means 16 are configured at their ends so that when put under stress elastic, they rest on the walls longitudinal side 25, 26 of the housing so that the spring means 16 do not interfere in any way and in no position the passage of the projecting elements 20 and 21.

Les pattes 22 sont adaptées à prendre sensiblement appui sur les parois longitudinales latérales 25, 26 du boítier 2 dans la position comprimée du bouchon 10, dans la mesure où, dans cet exemple, l'évidement 12 s'étend dans la direction transversale 23 du boítier 2 sur toute la dimension transversale dudit boítier 2.The legs 22 are adapted to take substantially supported on the longitudinal walls 25, 26 of the housing 2 in the compressed position of plug 10, insofar as, in this example, the recess 12 extends in the transverse direction 23 housing 2 over the entire transverse dimension of said case 2.

De cette manière, le bouchon 10 se trouve parfaitement centré dans l'évidement 12.In this way, the plug 10 is located perfectly centered in the recess 12.

D'une manière générale, les pattes 22 empêchent toute rotation du bouchon 10 dans l'orifice 9 susceptible d'amener les pattes 22 dans une position risquant de gêner le coulissement des éléments en saillie 20, 21 lorsque le bouchon 10 est dans sa position normale dans laquelle il obture l'orifice 9.Generally, the legs 22 prevent any rotation of the plug 10 in the orifice 9 likely to bring the legs 22 into a position risking the sliding of the elements in projection 20, 21 when the plug 10 is in its normal position in which it closes orifice 9.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 5 et 6, le bouchon 27 comporte deux pattes 28 en forme de tronçons de cylindre se terminant par des bords longitudinaux 29 adaptés à être en appui contre le fond 14 de l'évidement 12. Les pattes 28 sont également adaptées à prendre appui sur les parois longitudinales latérales 25, 26 du boítier 2 pour empêcher toute rotation intempestive du bouchon 27.In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the plug 27 has two tabs 28 in the form of cylinder sections ending in edges longitudinal 29 adapted to be pressed against the bottom 14 of the recess 12. The legs 28 are also adapted to rest on the longitudinal walls side 25, 26 of the housing 2 to prevent any untimely rotation of the cap 27.

Tout ce qui a été dit ci-dessus concernant le bouchon 10 et les pattes 22 est transposable lorsque c'est possible, au bouchon 27 et aux pattes 28.All that has been said above regarding the plug 10 and legs 22 can be transposed when it is possible, with the cap 27 and the legs 28.

On a représenté aux figures 7 à 10 les différentes phases de l'opération permettant d'effacer le bouchon 10, 27 à l'intérieur de l'évidement 12.Figures 7 to 10 show the different phases of the operation to erase the plug 10, 27 inside the recess 12.

Dans la position verrouillée du porte-pêne 4, schématisée à la figure 7, le bouchon 10 est dans sa position normale dans l'orifice 9 de la plaque extérieure 3. Le bouchon 10 est situé en face du trou taraudé 6 du porte-pêne 4.In the locked position of the bolt holder 4, shown schematically in Figure 7, the plug 10 is in its normal position in hole 9 of the plate outer 3. The plug 10 is located opposite the hole threaded 6 of the bolt holder 4.

Le premier élément en saillie 20 est l'élément en saillie situé à droite de la figure, à l'extrémité du côté de la position fermée du porte-pêne 4.The first protruding element 20 is the element projecting located to the right of the figure, at the end of the side of the closed position of the bolt holder 4.

Le second élément en saillie 21, est situé sensiblement au milieu de l'évidement 12 dans la direction longitudinale 5.The second protruding element 21 is located substantially in the middle of the recess 12 in the longitudinal direction 5.

Les deux tronçons de l'évidement 12 situés de part et d'autre du second élément en saillie 21 ont une longueur dans la direction longitudinale 5 suffisante pour recevoir le bouchon 10, comme schématisé aux figures 1 et 2.The two sections of the recess 12 located from on either side of the second protruding element 21 have a length in longitudinal direction 5 sufficient to receive the plug 10, as shown schematically in Figures 1 and 2.

En partant de la position verrouillée du porte-pêne 4 représentée à la figure 7, on fait coulisser le porte-pêne 4 vers sa position déverrouillée de la figure 2 pour arriver à la situation schématisée à la figure 8 dans laquelle le bouchon 10 est situé entre les deux éléments en saillie 20, 21.Starting from the locked position of the bolt holder 4 shown in Figure 7, we slide the bolt holder 4 to its unlocked position in the figure 2 to arrive at the situation shown in Figure 8 in which the plug 10 is located between the two protruding elements 20, 21.

Dans la position de la figure 8, on exerce sur la face extérieure du bouchon 10 une pression schématisée par la flèche 17 dans le sens 18 vers l'intérieur du boítier. On écrase ainsi les moyens formant ressort schématisés par le rectangle 16 de manière à faire rentrer l'ensemble du bouchon 10 à l'intérieur de l'évidement 12.In the position of figure 8, one exerts on the outer face of the plug 10 a pressure shown schematically by the arrow 17 in the direction 18 towards inside the case. We thus crush the means forming a spring shown diagrammatically by rectangle 16 of so as to fit the entire plug 10 to inside the recess 12.

On ramène ensuite le porte-pêne 4 dans sa position verrouillée de la figure 1 : le bouchon 10 dans sa position écrasée est en prise avec le second élément en saillie 21 qui le fait coulisser avec le porte-pêne vers la droite de la figure entre la face interne 19 de la plaque extérieure 3 et le fond 14 de l'évidement 12. L'orifice 9 se trouve ainsi libéré, alors que le trou taraudé 6 se trouve placé devant ledit orifice 9 et permet un accès à la vis 8 (voir figure 10). On peut aisément accéder avec les outils idoines au mode de réglage et de serrage retenu.Then return the bolt holder 4 to its locked position of figure 1: the plug 10 in its crushed position is in engagement with the second element projection 21 which slides it with the bolt holder to the right of the figure between the internal face 19 of the outer plate 3 and the bottom 14 of the recess 12. The opening 9 is thus released, while the hole tapped 6 is placed in front of said opening 9 and allows access to screw 8 (see Figure 10). We can easily access with the appropriate tools in the adjustment and tightening retained.

On a ainsi décrit et représenté un bouchon imperdable adapté à obturer de manière très discrète et très fiable l'orifice 9 et à permettre, en cas de besoin, un accès direct à la vis 8 et au pêne 31 après enlèvement de la vis 8.We have thus described and shown a plug captive suitable for closing very discreetly and very reliable orifice 9 and to allow, in case of need, direct access to screw 8 and bolt 31 after removal of screw 8.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations que l'on vient de décrire.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments which we have just to describe.

On peut ainsi remplacer les pattes 22, 28 par des moyens semblables. On peut également prévoir plus d'un bouchon sur la plaque extérieure de la ferrure.We can thus replace the legs 22, 28 by similar means. We can also plan more a plug on the outer plate of the fitting.
