Description

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des serrures de coffret. L'invention concerne plus précisément les dispositifs de fermeture de coffret du type comportant un barillet dans lequel on peut introduire une clé afin de manoeuvrer une serrure pour la fermeture ou l'ouverture du coffret, et un élément de condamnation comprenant des moyens de pose d'un dispositif de cadenassage apte à empêcher l'introduction de la clé dans le barillet.The field of the invention is that of cabinet locks. The invention relates more specifically to box closure devices of the type comprising a cylinder in which a key can be introduced in order to operate a lock for closing or opening the box, and a locking element comprising means for installing a box. a lockout device adapted to prevent the introduction of the key into the barrel.

Un exemple de coffret pour lequel le dispositif selon l'invention est approprié concerne un coffret renfermant des équipements de connexion électrique, notamment des équipements du type de ceux utilisés dans la réalisation des réseaux et des branchements à basse tension.An example of a box for which the device according to the invention is suitable concerns a box containing electrical connection equipment, including equipment of the type used in the realization of networks and low voltage connections.

Ce genre de dispositif de fermeture de coffret est connu en soit, par example de US-A-6106035 .This type of cabinet closure device is known in itself, for example US Patent 6106035 .

La figure 1 est une vue éclatée d'un exemple d'un dispositif de fermeture de coffret proposé par l'état de la technique. Ce dispositif comprend une partie de serrure classique 1 présentant un barillet cylindrique 2 dans lequel on peut introduire une clé afin de manoeuvrer la serrure. La serrure est classiquement fixée à l'arrière de la porte du coffret.The figure 1 is an exploded view of an example of a cabinet closure device proposed by the state of the art. This device comprises a conventional lock portion 1 having a cylindrical barrel 2 in which a key can be introduced to operate the lock. The lock is conventionally attached to the back of the cabinet door.

On souhaite parfois pouvoir empêcher l'accès à la serrure. Cela est par exemple le cas lorsque la serrure est cassée, ou encore lorsque l'on veut verrouiller le coffret pour éviter qu'une personne non autorisée puisse venir l'ouvrir.Sometimes we wish to be able to prevent access to the lock. This is for example the case when the lock is broken, or when one wants to lock the box to prevent an unauthorized person can come to open it.

Afin d'empêcher l'accès à la serrure, une pièce métallique 3 est interposée entre la serrure 1 et la porte du coffret. La pièce 3 comprend une base plane 4 destinée à venir en butée contre la serrure 1 ainsi qu'une partie cylindrique creuse à l'intérieur de laquelle le barillet 2 peut venir s'engager, cette partie cylindrique 5 traversant la porte du coffre lorsque la pièce 3 est installée.In order to prevent access to the lock, a metal part 3 is interposed between the lock 1 and the cabinet door. The part 3 comprises a flat base 4 intended to abut against the lock 1 and a hollow cylindrical portion inside which the barrel 2 can engage, this cylindrical portion 5 passing through the trunk door when the piece 3 is installed.

Un passage 6 est pratiqué dans la partie cylindrique 5 de manière à permettre le passage d'une anse de cadenas. Le cadenas ainsi installé empêche l'introduction d'une clé dans la partie cylindrique ; la clé ne peut donc pas être introduite dans le barillet 2 et il est alors impossible de manipuler la serrure.A passage 6 is formed in the cylindrical portion 5 so as to allow the passage of a padlock loop. The padlock thus installed prevents the introduction of a key into the cylindrical portion; the key can not be inserted into the barrel 2 and it is impossible to handle the lock.

Le dispositif selon la figure 1 présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients.The device according to figure 1 presents a number of disadvantages.

En premier lieu, la fonction de cadenassage n'est pas toujours disponible ; il faut effectivement venir installer la pièce métallique 3 pour permettre la pose d'un dispositif de cadenassage apte à empêcher l'introduction de la clé dans le barillet.In the first place, the lockout function is not always available; it is necessary to come to install the metal part 3 to allow the installation of a lockout device able to prevent the introduction of the key into the barrel.

Par ailleurs, l'installation de la pièce métallique 3 nécessite de démonter la partie de serrure 1 de la porte, puis d'interposer la pièce 3 entre la partie de serrure 1 et la porte, et enfin de remonter le tout sur la porte. Il en découle des coûts d'installation, notamment du fait de l'immobilisation de la main d'oeuvre pendant la durée de l'installation.Furthermore, the installation of the metal part 3 requires disassembly of the lock portion 1 of the door, then to interpose the piece 3 between the lock portion 1 and the door, and finally to reassemble the whole on the door. This results in installation costs, particularly because of the immobilization of the workforce during the installation period.

En outre, lorsque la pièce 3 est installée, celle-ci offre une prise en rotation susceptible de permettre de forcer ou tout du moins d'endommager la serrure.In addition, when the piece 3 is installed, it offers a rotational grip that can allow to force or at least damage the lock.

L'invention a pour objectif de proposer un dispositif amélioré qui ne présente pas ces inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The invention aims to provide an improved device that does not have these disadvantages of the state of the art.

Selon un premier aspect, l'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture de coffret tel que défini à la revendication 1.According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a box closure device as defined in claim 1.

Certains aspects préférés, mais non limitatifs, de ce dispositif sont définis par les revendications dépendantes 2-8.Certain preferred, but not limiting, aspects of this device are defined by dependent claims 2-8.

L'invention concerne également un coffret tel que défini à la revendication 9.The invention also relates to a box as defined in claim 9.

D'autres aspects, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description détaillée suivante de formes de réalisation préférées de celle-ci, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels, outre la figure 1 déjà commentée :

Other aspects, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear better on reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, given by way of non-limiting example, and with reference to the appended drawings in which: , besides figure 1 already commented:
  • the figure 2 represents a cabinet on which a device according to a possible embodiment of the invention is mounted, the locking element being in the retracted position;
  • the figure 3 is a sectional perspective view of a device according to a possible embodiment of the invention, the locking element being in the retracted position;
  • the figure 4 is a view similar to the figure 2 when the locking element is in the extended position;
  • the figure 5 is a view similar to the figure 3 when the locking element is in the extended position;
  • the figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of a device according to a possible embodiment of the invention;
  • the figure 7 represents the exit position and the conviction with the aid of a padlock;
  • the figure 8 represents the retracted position and the judgment with the aid of a sealing system.

En référence aux figures 2 et 4, on a représenté un coffret C disposant d'une porte d'accès P. Un dispositif 10 selon un mode de réalisation possible de l'invention est monté sur la porte P et une clé peut être introduite dans ledit dispositif 10, via un passage pratiqué à cet effet dans la porte, afin de venir manoeuvrer une serrure pour la fermeture ou l'ouverture de la porte du coffret.With reference to figures 2 and 4 a box C having an access door P is shown. A device 10 according to one possible embodiment of the invention is mounted on the door P and a key can be introduced into said device 10 via a passage. made for this purpose in the door, in order to come to maneuver a lock for closing or opening the cabinet door.

Comme cela est apparent des figures 3, 5 et 6, le dispositif 10 est formé d'un barillet 11 dans lequel on peut introduire une clé afin de manoeuvrer une serrure pour la fermeture ou l'ouverture du coffret, ainsi que d'un élément de condamnation 12 comprenant des moyens de pose 13 d'un dispositif de cadenassage apte à empêcher l'introduction de la clé dans le barillet 11.As is apparent from figures 3 , 5 and 6 , the device 10 is formed of a barrel 11 into which a key can be introduced in order to operate a lock for closing or opening the cabinet, as well as a locking element 12 comprising means for laying 13 of a padlocking device adapted to prevent the introduction of the key into the barrel 11.

L'élément de condamnation 12 est plus précisément conformé de manière à pouvoir être agencé de manière coulissante par rapport au barillet 11.The locking element 12 is more precisely shaped so as to be slidably arranged relative to the barrel 11.

L'élément de condamnation 12 peut ainsi coulisser entre une position rentrée et une position sortie, empêchant et autorisant ainsi respectivement l'accès auxdits moyens de pose 12 d'un dispositif de cadenassage.The locking element 12 can thus slide between a retracted position and an extended position, thus preventing and authorizing access to said laying means 12 of a lockout device.

On comprend donc que le dispositif selon l'invention rend la fonction de cadenassage toujours disponible. En effet, l'élément de condamnation est généralement en position rentrée, et peut à tout moment être entraîné pour venir coulisser de manière à atteindre la position sortie et dans laquelle le cadenassage est possible.It is therefore understood that the device according to the invention makes the lockout function always available. Indeed, the locking element is generally in the retracted position, and can at any time be driven to slide to reach the extended position and in which lockout is possible.

Par ailleurs, lorsque l'on souhaite empêcher l'accès à la serrure, aucun outil n'est nécessaire. Au contraire des techniques antérieures, il n'est pas nécessaire de réaliser une opération de démontage/remontage pour venir installer l'élément de condamnation. Celui-ci est effectivement déjà présent, en position rentrée. En outre, il est possible de faire coulisser l'élément de condamnation à la main pour l'amener en position sortie. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet ainsi un gain de temps pour une opération de cadenassage.In addition, when one wishes to prevent access to the lock, no tool is necessary. Unlike previous techniques, it is not necessary to perform a disassembly / reassembly operation to come install the locking element. This one is indeed already present, in retracted position. In addition, it is possible to slide the locking element by hand to bring it into the extended position. The device according to the invention thus saves time for a lockout operation.

La position rentrée est plus précisément illustrée par les figures 2 et 3, tandis que la position sortie est quant à elle illustrée sur les figures 4 et 5.The retracted position is more precisely illustrated by the Figures 2 and 3 while the exit position is illustrated on the Figures 4 and 5 .

En position rentrée, l'élément de condamnation 12 ne dépasse pas à travers la porte P, de sorte que les moyens de pose 13 ne sont pas accessibles.In the retracted position, the locking element 12 does not protrude through the door P, so that the laying means 13 are not accessible.

En revanche, en position sortie, l'élément de condamnation 12 dépasse à travers la porte P, de sorte que les moyens de pose 13 sont alors accessibles. Un dispositif de cadenassage peut alors être installé sur les moyens de pose 13 de manière à empêcher l'introduction d'une clé dans l'élément de condamnation et par conséquent dans le barillet.On the other hand, in the extended position, the locking element 12 protrudes through the door P, so that the laying means 13 are then accessible. A lockout device can then be installed on the laying means 13 so as to prevent the introduction of a key in the locking element and therefore in the barrel.

Comme cela est représenté sur les figures 3, 5 et 6, le barillet est un tube cylindrique creux ouvert à une extrémité (celle destinée à être positionnée du côté de la porte) et fermé à l'autre extrémité par une base 14. S'étendant depuis la base 14 vers l'intérieur du barillet, on trouve des moyens 15 aptes à coopérer avec une clé (ici une clé triangulaire). S'étendant depuis la base 14 vers l'extérieur du barillet, et solidaire de celui-ci, on trouve un pêne 17 apte par son déplacement à réaliser l'ouverture ou la fermeture du coffret.As shown on the figures 3 , 5 and 6 , the barrel is a hollow cylindrical tube open at one end (that intended to be positioned on the side of the door) and closed at the other end by a base 14. Extending from the base 14 towards the inside of the barrel, there are means 15 able to cooperate with a key (here a triangular key). Extending from the base 14 to the outside of the barrel, and secured thereto, there is a bolt 17 adapted by its movement to make the opening or closing of the box.

Le barillet est positionné à l'intérieur d'un socle 16 fixé à la porte P (par exemple par vissage), du côté intérieur de celle-ci. Le socle 16 constitue le stator de la serrure.The barrel is positioned inside a base 16 fixed to the door P (for example by screwing), on the inner side thereof. The base 16 constitutes the stator of the lock.

Le barillet 11 peut être entraîné en rotation à l'intérieur du socle 16, et constitue ainsi le rotor de la serrure. Lorsqu'une clé est introduite dans le barillet, elle vient effectivement en prise avec les moyens 15. La rotation de la clé entraîne la rotation du barillet 11 et par conséquent la rotation du pêne 15, de manière à réaliser l'ouverture ou la fermeture du coffret. Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un tel barillet rotatif, mais s'étend à tout type de barillet disposant de moyens aptes à coopérer avec une clé pour l'ouverture ou la fermeture de la serrure.The barrel 11 can be rotated inside the base 16, and thus constitutes the rotor of the lock. When a key is entered in the barrel, it actually comes into engagement with the means 15. The rotation of the key causes the rotation of the barrel 11 and therefore the rotation of the bolt 15, so as to achieve the opening or closing of the box. Of course, the invention is not limited to such a rotary barrel, but extends to any type of barrel having means adapted to cooperate with a key for opening or closing the lock.

L'élément de condamnation 12 est également un tube cylindrique, agencée de manière coulissante par rapport au barillet 11.The locking element 12 is also a cylindrical tube slidably arranged with respect to the barrel 11.

L'élément 12 est plus précisément un tube ouvert à ces deux extrémités. Une clé peut ainsi être introduite à l'intérieur dudit élément 12 et venir en prise avec les moyens 15 du barillet, cela que l'élément 12 soit en position rentrée ou en position sortie (en l'absence de la pose d'un dispositif de cadenassage).The element 12 is more precisely a tube open at both ends. A key can thus be introduced inside said element 12 and engage with the means 15 of the barrel, that the element 12 is in the retracted position or in the extended position (in the absence of the installation of a device lockout).

L'élément de condamnation 12 est monté avec le barillet (par exemple inséré à l'intérieur du barillet), avant la fixation de l'ensemble à la porte.The locking element 12 is mounted with the barrel (for example inserted inside the barrel), before the assembly of the assembly to the door.

L'élément de condamnation 12 comprend des moyens de pose 13 d'un dispositif de cadenassage. Ces moyens de pose ont typiquement la forme d'un passage pratiqué, par exemple par perçage, dans l'élément de condamnation 12, et prévu pour autoriser le passage de l'anse 22 d'un cadenas 23 à travers ledit passage (cf. figure 7).The locking element 12 comprises means 13 for installing a lockout device. These laying means typically have the shape of a passage made, for example by drilling, in the locking element 12, and provided to allow the passage of the loop 22 of a padlock 23 through said passage (cf. figure 7 ).

Dans l'exemple ici représenté, l'élément de condamnation 12 est prévu pour coulisser à l'intérieur du barillet entre la position rentrée et la position sortie, empêchant et autorisant ainsi respectivement l'accès auxdits moyens de pose d'un dispositif de cadenassage. Le barillet forme alors le tube extérieur, et l'élément de condamnation le tube intérieur.In the example shown here, the locking element 12 is designed to slide inside the barrel between the retracted position and the extended position, thereby preventing and allowing access to said means for fitting a lockout device respectively. . The barrel then forms the outer tube, and the locking element the inner tube.

En position rentrée, une extrémité antérieure de l'élément 12 vient en butée avec la base 14 du barillet 11. Les dimensions de l'élément de condamnation sont telles qu'en position rentrée, celui-ci puisse être totalement rentré dans le barillet de manière à ne pas dépasser du barillet. Les moyens de pose 13 ne sont alors pas accessibles (cf. figures 2, 3 et 8).In the retracted position, an anterior end of the element 12 abuts with the base 14 of the cylinder 11. The dimensions of the locking element are such that in the retracted position, it can be fully retracted into the cylinder of way not to exceed the barrel. The laying means 13 are then not accessible (cf. Figures 2, 3 and 8 ).

En position sortie en revanche (cf. figures 4, 5 et 7), l'élément de condamnation 12 dépasse du barillet 11 à travers la porte P, et les moyens de pose 13 sont alors accessibles. Un cadenas 23 peut ainsi être installé de sorte que son anse 22 traverse le passage 13 formant lesdits moyens de pose, et empêche ainsi l'introduction d'une clé dans l'élément de condamnation 12 et par là dans le barillet 11.In the out position, however (cf. Figures 4, 5 and 7 ), the locking element 12 protrudes from the barrel 11 through the door P, and the laying means 13 are then accessible. A padlock 23 can thus be installed so that its handle 22 passes through the passage 13 forming said laying means, and thus prevents the introduction of a key into the locking element 12 and hence into the barrel 11.

Comme déjà mentionné précédemment, un passage est pratiqué dans la porte P de manière à permettre l'introduction de la clé, ainsi que le passage d'une partie de l'élément de condamnation à travers la porte pour atteindre sa position de sortie rendant les moyens de pose du dispositif de cadenassage accessibles.As already mentioned, a passage is made in the door P so as to allow the introduction of the key, as well as the passage of a portion of the locking element through the door to reach its output position making the installation means of the lockout device accessible.

Dans l'exemple ici représenté, ledit passage est circulaire et est conformé de manière à permettre le passage de l'élément de condamnation cylindrique.In the example shown here, said passage is circular and is shaped to allow the passage of the cylindrical locking element.

L'élément de condamnation 12 peut en outre présenter une collerette 18 au niveau de son extrémité antérieure. Ladite collerette 18 est conformée de manière à venir en butée contre la face intérieure de la porte en position sortie de l'élément de condamnation, prévenant ainsi le retrait dudit élément 12.The locking element 12 may further have a flange 18 at its anterior end. Said flange 18 is shaped so as to abut against the inner face of the door in the extended position of the locking element, thus preventing the withdrawal of said element 12.

Par ailleurs, on notera que le fait de prévoir un élément de condamnation 12 et un barillet 11 sous la forme de tubes cylindriques, l'un des tubes étant engagés dans l'autre, permet à l'élément de condamnation 12 de pouvoir être entraîné en rotation librement, notamment en position sortie, sans que le barillet n'offre une prise à la rotation dudit élément 12. Ainsi, en particulier lorsque l'élément de condamnation 12 est en position sortie, l'entraînement en rotation dudit élément 12 n'est aucunement susceptible de permettre de forcer ou d'endommager la serrure.Furthermore, it will be noted that the fact of providing a locking element 12 and a cylinder 11 in the form of cylindrical tubes, one of the tubes being engaged in the other, allows the locking element 12 to be able to be driven. in free rotation, in particular in the extended position, without the barrel providing a catch for the rotation of said element 12. Thus, in particular when the locking element 12 is in the extended position, the rotary drive of said element 12 is not likely to allow forcing or damaging the lock.

Comme cela est apparent sur les figures 3 et 6, le barillet 11 peut en outre présenter, typiquement au niveau d'une extrémité antérieure du côté de la porte, des moyens 19 aptes à permettre la pose d'un système de scellé en position fermée de l'élément de condamnation 12.As is apparent on the figures 3 and 6 , the barrel 11 may furthermore have, typically at a front end of the door side, means 19 able to allow the installation of a sealing system in the closed position of the locking element 12.

Comme cela est apparent sur la figure 7, le système de scellé est typiquement constitué d'un fil 20 et d'une pastille 21, par exemple un système de plombage constitué d'un fil métallique et d'une pastille de plomb ou encore un système plastoscellé constitué d'un fil et d'une pastille synthétiques. Les moyens de pose 19 sont constitués par un passage réalisé, par exemple par perçage, transversalement dans le corps du barillet pour permettre le passage du fil.As is apparent on the figure 7 , the sealing system is typically made of a wire 20 and a pellet 21, for example a sealing system consisting of a wire and a pellet of lead or a plastoscellated system consisting of a wire and of a synthetic pellet. The laying means 19 are constituted by a passage made, for example by drilling, transversely in the body of the barrel to allow the passage of the wire.

L'élément de condamnation 12 s'étend longitudinalement sur une distance plus faible que celle du barillet 11. De la sorte, en position rentrée, l'élément 12 est totalement rentré dans le barillet 11, et laisse les moyens de pose 19 accessibles. De telle sorte, le système de scellé 20,21 peut être installé. L'élément 12 est alors immobilisé en position fermée et une clé ne peut pas être introduite.The locking element 12 extends longitudinally over a distance smaller than that of the barrel 11. In this way, in the retracted position, the element 12 is fully retracted into the barrel 11, and leaves the laying means 19 accessible. In this way, the seal system 20, 21 can be installed. The element 12 is then immobilized in the closed position and a key can not be introduced.

Comme cela est apparent des figures 2 à 8, le passage pratiqué dans la porte peut être configuré de manière à faciliter le passage du fil 20 dans les moyens de pose 19. Ledit passage peut ainsi présenter une partie centrale circulaire prolongée par deux fentes diamétralement opposées.As is apparent from Figures 2 to 8 , the passage made in the door may be configured to facilitate the passage of the wire 20 in the laying means 19. Said passage may thus have a circular central portion extended by two diametrically opposed slots.

Le barillet et l'élément de condamnation du dispositif selon le premier aspect de l'invention sont avantageusement réalisés en un matériau isolant, par exemple en une matière plastique isolante. De telle manière, on passe outre les problèmes de sécurité susceptibles d'être relevés avec les dispositifs de l'état de la technique présentant une pièce métallique 3 (cf. figure 1), notamment lorsque le dispositif est utilisé pour un coffret renfermant des équipements de connexion électrique.The barrel and the locking element of the device according to the first aspect of the invention are advantageously made of an insulating material, for example an insulating plastic material. In such a way, the safety problems that can be detected with the devices of the state of the art having a metal part 3 (cf. figure 1 ), especially when the device is used for a box containing electrical connection equipment.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un dispositif de fermeture, mais s'étend également à un coffret disposant d'un tel dispositif de fermeture.Of course, the invention is not limited to a closure device, but also extends to a cabinet having such a closure device.
