  • this riveting stud 17 has been shown in section circular as part of this embodiment corresponding to FIGS. 1 to 4, it will be noted that in the second embodiment illustrated in Figures 5 to 7, it may take another form, in particular a parallelepiped shape, which allows it to fulfill, in addition, the function of immobilization in rotation of this screw guide type device 1 compared to the headrest 2.
  • this function can still be ensured by at least one stud positioning 20, 20A preferably located in the alignment of the guide pad 12, 12A and the riveting pad 17, this positioning pad 20, 20A coming to be inserted in a cavity 21, 21A provided for this purpose in the headrest 2.
  • this positioning pad 20, 20A may adopt a symmetrical arrangement with respect to said transverse median plane 19.
  • the guide pads 12, 12A of the riveting pad 17 or where appropriate also of the positioning pad (s) 20, 20A extend from a longitudinal base 22, coming to be superimposed on the operating rod 3 extending to the back of the headrest 2.
  • the width 23 of this base 22 is provided at most equal to width 5 at the bottom of mounting groove 4 and greater than the width 24 of a oblong light 25 provided in the operating rod 3 for the passage of the various aforementioned studs.
  • This light oblong 25 is dimensioned, of course, to allow the operating rod 3 to move relative to this screw guide type device 1, to move from its position locking in its unlocking position and vice versa.
  • the guide stud (s) 12, 12A possibly the positioning pads 20, 20A are fitted in or on a boss 47 under which the base extends 22 and the top 48 of which defines a support plan for the headrest 2.
  • this screw guide type device 1 receives, still, attachment means 26 provided capable of cooperating with the side walls 7, 8 of the embedding groove 4 in view maintain the longitudinal and transverse position the bolt or lock bolt, in particular the headrest 2 of the latter in said embedding groove 4.
  • these means attachment 26 are in the form of tabs attachment 27 extending from the longitudinal edges 28, 29 of the base 22 in the direction of the headrest 2.
  • These tabs 27 between which the operating rod 3 is inscribed significantly move away from each other, at their free end 30, 31, so as to respect, at this level, between them a distance 32 slightly greater than the width 5 of the embedding groove 4. In this way, when position the device 1 therein said tabs 27 are repelled by their elastic nature, towards the longitudinal median plane 33 of this device 1 under the action of the side walls 7, 8 of this groove 4. This results in translation blockage in the latter of this device 1 and therefore of the lever or lock-bolt through the headrest 2.
  • the free ends 30, 31 of these fastening tabs 27 are provided capable, in cooperation with the side walls 7, 8 of the groove 4, to form a step to prevent the bolt or bolt lock from falling back outside this embedding groove 4.
  • attachment means 26 are still supplemented by retaining pins 36 projecting from the level of at least one of the longitudinal edges 28, 29 of the base 22. These retaining pins 36 actually come, become embedded in the side walls 7, 8 of the groove installation 4.
  • the tabs attachment 27 are preferably of the elastic type. A such elasticity can arise from the material composing the device 1.
  • this riveting stud has so far consisted of a stud which, when engaged in the perforation 18 corresponding in headrest 2, is expanded by crushing therefore by displacement of material, requiring a tool suitable for this, we imagined to design this stud riveting 17 in the form of an expandable mandrel 37.
  • This is defined by at least two jaws 38, 39 whose end free 40 is provided capable of being inserted into the perforation 18 of the headrest 2. Between these jaws 38, 39 being engaged a expansion rod 41.
  • this expansion rod 41 is defined by section 42 significantly greater than the persistent bore 43 between jaws 38, 39 of semi-circular shape such that shown in Figures 1 to 4 corresponding to the first embodiment or even at spacing 43A of two jaws 38, 39 parallel as can be seen in the Figures 5 to 7.
  • the expansion rod 41 is molded simultaneously in an arrangement ready to be engaged between the jaws 38, 39 of the mandrel 37 and made integral with one or other of the ends 44, 44A of the latter by a breakable connection 46. There still, this can be obtained by the molding operation. Thus, this breakable bond 46 may be the consequence of molding of the expansion rod 41 in a very slightly engaged in the mandrel 37.
  • such a screw guide type device 1 still has to temporarily block the rod operation 3 relative to the headrest 2 to facilitate, depending on the case, the assembly of the parts of the cremone bolt or cremone bolt or the mounting of the latter on the joinery. Also, such a screw guide type device 1 receives, usually temporary immobilization means 49 of this operating rod 3.
  • said immobilization means 49 are in the form of blocking pistons 50, 50A capable of being projecting from the side 51 of the base 22 opposite the operating rod 3 to come and stay in a notch provided for this purpose in at least one of the longitudinal edges 52 of the light oblong 25 corresponding to this operating rod 3.
  • the device of the screw guide type 1 comprises one, preferably two, arranged symmetrically with respect to the riveting stud 17 avoiding the operator having to be worry about the orientation of this device 1 at the time of its mounting on the headrest 2.
  • These immobilization means 49 are in the form a tongue 53 defined by molding in a lumen 54 at the level of the base 22 more particularly at the level of the boss 47 surmounting this.
  • This tab 53 susceptible to be pushed back, elastically, into an active position in which a retaining finger 55, with which it is equipped, is even come to engage in the aforementioned notch of the rod 3.
  • the tongue 53 is thus held in this active position by means of a holding tab 56, here again, resulting from the molding process of the screw guide device 1. In fact, to bring the tongue 53 into its position active, it should be forced to cross said retaining tab 56 which will maintain it in this position.
  • the pistons of blocking 50, 50A can be achieved through the process of molding of the device 1.
  • this or these locking pistons 50, 50A can be molded in a recessed position relative to the side 51 of the base 22 with regard to the operating rod 3.
  • These blocking pistons 50, 50A are temporarily held in this position, again through a breakable bond 60, obtained by molding, similar to that 46 now the expansion rod 41 at the entry of the mandrel 37.
  • the present invention makes it possible to respond in a manner advantageous to the problem posed insofar as the device for screw guide type, not only, guarantees good maintenance position of the cremone bolt or cremone bolt at the level of the rack during the installation of the fixing screws, but, moreover, it facilitates the assembly of this lever or lock-bolt.
  • the device for screw guide type not only, guarantees good maintenance position of the cremone bolt or cremone bolt at the level of the rack during the installation of the fixing screws, but, moreover, it facilitates the assembly of this lever or lock-bolt.
  • riveting operations requiring a riveter station and an associated work table on the assembly lines are avoided.
  • Being able to perform the device by molding in material makes it less expensive and contributes to a reduction in the operating noise of the cremone bolt or bolt lock.
