Description
La présente invention concerne une crémone, destinée à la manoeuvre d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un ouvrant, et trouve une application notamment pour les portes de camion, conteneur ou autres.The present invention relates to a cremone, intended for the opening and closing maneuver of an opening, and finds an application especially for truck doors, container or other.
Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour de telles applications, la présente invention pourra également être utilisée, de manière générale, dans tous les secteurs de l'activité économique dans lesquels on souhaite pouvoir fermer/ouvrir des portes, ou autres.However, although more particularly intended for such applications, the present invention may also be used, in general, in all sectors of the economic activity in which it is desired to be able to close / open doors, or others.
Dans le domaine des portes de camion ou de conteneur, il est connu d'utiliser des crémones comprenant un verrou supérieur et un verrou inférieur, reliés entre eux par une tige d'actionnement solidaire de la porte.In the field of truck or container doors, it is known to use espagnolettes comprising an upper lock and a lower lock, interconnected by an actuating rod integral with the door.
Chacun desdits verrous est constitué par un pêne mobile assujetti à la tige, à proximité de ses extrémités, et coopérant respectivement avec une gâche correspondante fixe, solidaire d'une traverse supérieure ou inférieure du cadre fixe, par rapport auquel cadre s'articule la porte. L'ouverture ou la fermeture de la porte est autorisée par l'intermédiaire de moyens de verrouillage du pêne et de la gâche du verrou inférieur notamment.Each of said locks is constituted by a movable bolt secured to the rod, near its ends, and cooperating respectively with a corresponding fixed striker secured to an upper or lower cross member of the fixed frame, with respect to which frame articulates the door . The opening or closing of the door is authorized via locking means of the bolt and latch of the lower latch in particular.
Des systèmes de commande et de verrouillage permettent la manipulation de la tige d'actionnement en rotation et ainsi la fermeture ou l'ouverture des verrous.Control and locking systems allow the manipulation of the rotating actuating rod and thus the closing or opening of the locks.
On connaît notamment du document
Plus particulièrement, le système de ce document comprend une semelle fixée sur l'ouvrant à partir duquel est articulé en rotation un levier de commande de la tige d'actionnement. Un deuxième levier désigné levier d'actionnement, présente une poignée et est articulé à l'extrémité proximale du levier de commande. Le verrouillage du verrou est effectué lors de la rotation de la poignée vers la semelle, le becquet d'accrochage d'un basculeur permettant d'assujettir le levier de commande à la semelle.More particularly, the system of this document comprises a sole attached to the leaf from which is articulated in rotation a control lever of the actuating rod. A second lever designated operating lever, has a handle and is articulated to the proximal end of the control lever. Locking of the latch is performed during the rotation of the handle towards the sole, the tilting spoiler of a rocker for securing the control lever to the sole.
Le déverrouillage du système est obtenu par la mise en rotation du levier d'actionnement dans l'autre sens, le levier d'actionnement coopérant avec le basculeur pour provoquer sa rotation et ainsi faire échapper le becquet d'accrochage de sa prise.Unlocking the system is achieved by setting rotation of the actuating lever in the other direction, the actuating lever cooperating with the rocker to cause its rotation and thus escape the latching spoiler from its socket.
Une serrure du levier de commande permet la condamnation du système de commande et de verrouillage pour empêcher le déverrouillage par la manipulation du levier d'actionnement, le loquet de la serrure venant bloquer le basculeur en rotation dans sa position de prise.A lock of the control lever allows the locking of the control and locking system to prevent unlocking by manipulation of the operating lever, the latch of the lock coming to block the rocker in rotation in its setting position.
En outre, le verrouillage peut être complété par un cadenas venant assujettir le levier d'actionnement à la semelle.In addition, the lock can be completed by a lock that secures the actuating lever to the sole.
Ce type de crémone présente toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir être déverrouillée de l'intérieur d'une remorque d'un camion ou d'un conteneur, une fois le système de commande et de verrouillage condamné. En outre, il n'est pas possible d'intégrer de manière aisée un système de déverrouillage électrique, à distance, notamment du type ouverture centralisée.This type of espagnolette, however, has the disadvantage of not being able to be unlocked from the inside of a trailer of a truck or container, once the control system and locking locked. In addition, it is not possible to easily integrate a remote unlocking system, including the centralized opening type.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une amélioration de ce type de crémone, comprenant notamment un système de commande et de verrouillage, à basculeur, qui pallie les inconvénients précités.The object of the present invention is to provide an improvement of this type of espagnolette, including including a control system and locking, rocker, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un système de commande permettant l'intégration d'un dispositif d'ouverture à distance, notamment d'un dispositif d'ouverture centralisée.Another object of the invention is to provide a control system for integrating a remote opening device, in particular a centralized opening device.

La semelle 2 du système de commande et de verrouillage 1 peut présenter une ouverture d'accès 25 au basculeur 71 ; 72. Un dispositif de sécurité 26, interne à l'ouvrant 57, peut permettre de déverrouiller la crémone de l'intérieur de la remorque, conteneur ou similaire, le dispositif de sécurité étant constitué par une tige coulissante 27 interne à l'ouvrant, apte à traverser l'ouverture d'accès 25 de la semelle 2 pour coopérer en déverrouillage avec le basculeur 71 ; 72.The sole 2 of the control and locking system 1 may have an access opening 25 to the

L'ouvrant peut présenter un alésage traversant accueillant la tige 27 du dispositif de sécurité 26, la tige pouvant être actionnée en translation manuellement de l'intérieur par un organe tel qu'un bouton poussoir 30, une poignée d'un levier ou encore une poignée de vissage.The opening may have a through bore accommodating the
Selon un autre exemple de réalisation non illustré, la tige 27 du dispositif de sécurité 26 peut être actionnée en translation par un dispositif d'assistance comprenant un électro aimant ou un vérin, notamment lors de l'appui sur un bouton coup-de-poing.According to another embodiment not illustrated, the
Alternativement ou additionnellement, un dispositif d'ouverture électrique, notamment de type ouverture centralisée peut être prévu. Le dispositif d'ouverture électrique pourra être commandé à distance, par exemple, par une télécommande porte-clé. Le mécanisme de ce dispositif peut comprendre un actionneur tel qu'un électro aimant ou un vérin coopérant notamment avec une tige 43, apte à coopérer avec le basculeur 71 ; 72. La tige 43 peut être entraînée d'une position d'effacement à une position d'engagement avec le basculeur permettant le déverrouillage du système 1.Alternatively or additionally, an electrical opening device, in particular of centralized opening type can be provided. The electrical opening device can be controlled remotely, for example, by a key fob. The mechanism of this device may comprise an actuator such as an electromagnet or a jack cooperating in particular with a
Selon l'exemple de réalisation des
Avantageusement, l'actionneur du dispositif d'ouverture électrique peut être logé dans l'épaisseur de l'ouvrant, et peut coopérer avec ladite projection 45 pour permettre le déverrouillage du basculeur 71.Advantageously, the actuator of the electrical opening device can be housed in the thickness of the opening, and can cooperate with said
Notamment, l'actionneur est un électro aimant permettant d'actionner en translation une tige 43, métallique, sous l'effet d'un champ magnétique. Ladite tige 43 est interne à l'ouvrant, parallèle au plan dudit ouvrant. L'extrémité libre de la tige engage avec ladite projection 45.

Ce dispositif d'ouverture électrique 41 permet de libérer le levier de commande 6, permettant ainsi la rotation de la tige d'actionnement 4 et ainsi le déverrouillage des verrous 52. Pendant cette ouverture, l'utilisateur n'a pas besoin de déverrouiller la serrure 11 et/ou le cadenas 16.This
De même lors de la fermeture, le verrouillage des verrous 52 est obtenu par la rotation du levier de commande 6 avec le levier d'actionnement 4. Les moyens de sécurisation, à savoir la serrure 11 et/ou le cadenas 16 n'ont pas besoin d'être déverrouillés, le basculeur assurant seul le verrouillage du système alors que les deux leviers 5, 6 sont en liaison rigide.Similarly during the closing, the locking of the
Il est à noter toutefois que la simple mise en rotation du basculeur 71 72 peut s'avérer insuffisante, à elle seule, pour obtenir le déverrouillage du verrou, cette simple action ne provoquant pas la rotation de la tige d'actionnement 4 pour pouvoir effacer le pêne de la gâche d'un verrou 52, au niveau du dormant.It should be noted, however, that the simple rotation of the
Aussi, avantageusement la crémone conforme à l'invention pourra prévoir des moyens de rappel élastiques exerçant un couple de rappel sur la tige d'actionnement ou sur le levier de commande, pour forcer le verrou à l'ouverture. Dès lors, lors d'une simple action sur le basculeur, l'ensemble constitué par le levier de commande et le levier d'actionnement s'écartera plus ou moins de la semelle avec la tige d'actionnement.Also, advantageously the cremone according to the invention may provide elastic return means exerting a return torque on the actuating rod or on the control lever, to force the lock to the opening. Therefore, in a simple action on the rocker, the assembly formed by the control lever and the actuating lever will deviate more or less from the sole with the actuating rod.
A titre d'exemple, la semelle peut présenter un élément élastique interne 40, notamment un tampon en caoutchouc ou en élastomère, destiné à appuyer, en position de verrouillage sur la paroi interne du levier de commande 6.By way of example, the soleplate may have an internal
Alternativement ou additionnellement, selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, la crémone peut être assemblée de telle façon que la fermeture du système de commande et de verrouillage est réalisée à force, la tige d'actionnement 4 se comportant comme une barre de torsion lors du déplacement du levier d'actionnement 5 dans le sens F1 de verrouillage de telle façon que lorsque le verrou 52 est dans une position de verrouillage. Le couple de rappel de la tige d'actionnement permet alors le déverrouillage du verrou 52 lors d'une simple action sur le basculeur 71 ; 72 en provoquant la rotation du levier de commande 6 par rapport à la semelle 2. Une simple action d'ouverture sur l'ouvrant permettra alors la rotation de la tige d'actionnement 4 et ainsi l'effacement du pêne de la gâche du verrou.Alternatively or additionally, according to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the espagnolette can be assembled from such that the closure of the control and locking system is effected by force, the

- A control and locking system (1), designed for an espagnolette bolt according to claim 1, wherein the espagnolette bolt is intended for the opening and closing manoeuvre of an opening member (57), such as a lorry door, trailer, container or others, the espagnolette bolt including at least one bolt provided at the corresponding frame (51) and an actuating rod (4) of the bolt (52) interconnected with the opening member is provided rotatably on the opening member, the control and locking system (1) of the closing system comprising:- a sole (2) fixed to the opening member (57),- a control lever (6) of the actuating rod (4), the distal end of the actuating lever being provided jointingly on said sole (2) and the espagnolette bolt capable of being slaved to the actuating rod (4),- an actuating lever (5) of the control lever (6) capable of performing a locking action in one direction F1 or an unlocking action in one direction F2, the distal end of the actuating lever being provided jointingly at the proximal end of the control lever (6),- a toggler (71; 72) jointingly connected to said system (1), the toggler being capable of locking the bolt during the displacement of the actuating lever in the locking direction F1, the actuating lever (5) being capable of co-operating with the toggler for unlocking the bolt when moving in the unlocking direction F2, wherein said operating and locking system of the closing system (1) may be blocked via securing means to prevent the lock from being released by handling the actuating lever, said securing means consisting in particular of a mechanism integrated to the system and comprising a lock (11) and a catch (12), characterised in that said securing means consist of inhibition means (8) ensuring relative blockage of the actuating lever (5) with respect to the control lever (6), said control lever and/or said actuating lever forming substantially a cover barring access to said toggler (7) from the outside when the bolt (52) is locked, said toggler (7) being free to move so as to authorise an internal opening action regardless of the state of the securing means.
- An assembly method for an espagnolette bolt according to claim 5, wherein said espagnolette bolt is intended for the opening and closing manoeuvre of an opening member, such as a lorry door, trailer, container or others, including at least one bolt (52) provided at the corresponding frame (51), an actuating rod (4) of the bolt (52) interconnected with the opening member is provided rotatably on the opening member as well as an operating and locking system (1) of the closing system is provided at the opening member, comprising:- a sole (2) fixed on the opening member (57),- a control lever (6) of the actuating rod (4), the distal end of the actuating lever being provided jointingly on said sole (2) and slaved to the actuating rod,- an actuating lever (5) of the control lever capable of performing a locking action in one direction F1 or an unlocking action in one direction F2, the distal end of the actuating lever being provided jointingly at the proximal end of the control lever,- a toggler (71; 72) jointingly connected to said system, the toggler being capable of locking the bolt (52) during the displacement of the actuating lever (5) in the locking direction F1, the actuating lever (5) being capable of co-operating with the toggler (71; 72) for unlocking the bolt (52) when moving in the unlocking direction F2, method wherein the espagnolette bolt is assembled so that the operating and locking system is closed forcibly, the actuating rod (4) behaving like a torsion bar during the displacement of the actuating lever (5) in the locking direction F1 so that when the bolt is in a locking position, the recall torque of the actuating rod (4) enables to release the bolt as soon as the toggler clears away, thereby causing the control lever (6) to rotate relative to the sole.
