Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

Le présent exposé concerne le domaine des portes, fenêtres, portes-fenêtres ou autres types de vantaux destinés à fermer une ouverture.The present disclosure relates to the field of doors, windows, French windows or other types of leaves intended to close an opening.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de retenue pour un vantail semi-fixe coopérant avec un vantail mobile pour fermer une ouverture.It relates more particularly to a retainer for a semi-fixed leaf cooperating with a movable leaf to close an opening.

Dans le présent exposé, on entend désigner par l'expression « vantail mobile » celui des deux vantaux qui est normalement ouvert en premier lorsque les deux vantaux sont tous deux initialement en position de fermeture. Ce vantail mobile est aussi usuellement dénommé « vantail de service », expression que l'on pourra reprendre ultérieurement dans le présent exposé le cas échéant.In the present description, the term "movable leaf" means that of the two leaves which is normally opened first when the two leaves are both initially in the closed position. This mobile leaf is also usually referred to as "service leaf", an expression that can be repeated later in this presentation if necessary.

Par ailleurs, dans le présent exposé, on entend désigner par l'expression « vantail semi-fixe » celui des deux vantaux que l'on n'ouvre normalement qu'une fois le vantail mobile ouvert.Moreover, in the present description, the term "semi-fixed leaf" means that of the two leaves that are normally opened once the mobile leaf opened.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART

On connaît déjà un premier dispositif de retenue pour un vantail semi-fixe qui coopère avec un vantail mobile pour fermer une ouverture. Ce dispositif conventionnel comprend un élément de verrouillage qui peut être verrouillé/déverrouillé une fois le vantail mobile en position d'ouverture. Ce déverrouillage doit être opéré manuellement, par exemple à l'aide d'une tirette ou d'un petit levier rendu accessible à l'utilisateur une fois le vantail mobile en position d'ouverture.A first retainer is already known for a semi-fixed leaf that cooperates with a movable leaf to close an opening. This conventional device comprises a locking element that can be locked / unlocked once the mobile leaf in the open position. This unlocking must be operated manually, for example by means of a zipper or a small lever made accessible to the user once the mobile leaf in the open position.

Ce dispositif conventionnel présente donc l'inconvénient de mettre activement l'utilisateur à contribution pour procéder au verrouillage/déverrouillage du vantail semi-fixe, ce s'avère contraignant pour l'utilisateur.This conventional device therefore has the disadvantage of actively involving the user in the locking / unlocking of the semi-fixed leaf, it is binding for the user.

Pour pallier ce problème, il a été développé un deuxième dispositif conventionnel, qui met en oeuvre un verrouillage/déverrouillage automatique du vantail semi-fixe par un simple mouvement de fermeture/ouverture du vantail mobile. Ce deuxième dispositif conventionnel est décrit en particulier dans le document DE342584 .To overcome this problem, it has been developed a second conventional device, which implements an automatic locking / unlocking of the semi-fixed leaf by a simple closing / opening movement of the mobile leaf. This second conventional device is described in particular in the document DE342584 .

Plus précisément, ce dispositif conventionnel comprend :

  • un premier organe de retenue apte à être solidaire du vantail semi-fixe ;
  • un deuxième organe de retenue apte à être monté mobile sur le pourtour de l'ouverture, au voisinage d'un lieu de rencontre des deux vantaux, de manière à pouvoir occuper une position de référence dans laquelle les premier et deuxième organes de retenue sont aptes à coopérer ensemble pour retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture, et de manière à pouvoir s'écarter de cette position de référence selon un premier sens de déplacement pour permettre une libération de ladite coopération pour autoriser un mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe ;
  • un premier organe de commande destiné à être solidaire du vantail mobile ;
  • un deuxième organe de commande apte à être monté mobile sur le pourtour de l'ouverture pour, lors de la fermeture du vantail mobile, coopérer par effet de came avec le premier organe de commande pour solliciter un déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de référence ;
  • un ressort pour solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de commande par rapport à sa position de référence.
More specifically, this conventional device comprises:
  • a first retaining member adapted to be secured to the semi-fixed leaf;
  • a second retaining member adapted to be mounted movably on the periphery of the opening, in the vicinity of a meeting point of the two leaves, so as to be able to occupy a reference position in which the first and second retaining members are capable of to cooperate together to retain the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position, and so as to be able to deviate from this reference position in a first direction of movement to allow a release of said cooperation to allow an opening movement or closing of the semi-fixed leaf;
  • a first control member intended to be secured to the mobile leaf;
  • a second control member adapted to be mounted movably on the periphery of the opening for, during closure of the movable leaf, cammingly cooperating with the first control member to urge a displacement of the second retaining member towards its position reference ;
  • a spring for biasing the second control member from its reference position.

Dans ce dispositif conventionnel, le vantail semi-fixe est fermement retenu en position de fermeture lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence. Il en résulte que, lorsque le vantail mobile est en position de fermeture, le vantail semi-fixe ne peut pas être ouvert, même lorsque l'utilisateur sollicite cette ouverture.In this conventional device, the semi-fixed leaf is firmly retained in the closed position when the second retaining member occupies its reference position. As a result, when the mobile leaf is in the closed position, the semi-fixed leaf can not be opened, even when the user requests this opening.

Par ailleurs, dans ce dispositif conventionnel, les premier et deuxième organes de commande sont configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue adopte sa position de libération de la coopération (et donc lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue est en-dehors de sa position de référence), coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter le rapprochement du deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de référence.Moreover, in this conventional device, the first and second control members are configured for, when the second retaining member adopts its release position of the cooperation (and therefore when the second retaining member is outside its position of reference), cooperate by camming to urge the approximation of the second retaining member towards its reference position.

En outre, dans ce dispositif conventionnel, le ressort est configuré pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence, rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de libération de la coopération (c'est-à-dire solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue par rapport à sa position de référence).In addition, in this conventional device, the spring is configured to, when the second retaining member is in its reference position, recall the second retaining member to its position of releasing the cooperation (i.e. spacing of the second retaining member from its reference position).

Ainsi, avec ce dispositif conventionnel, le deuxième organe de retenue s'écarte de sa position de référence pour adopter sa position de libération lorsque le vantail mobile est en-dehors de sa position de fermeture. Il en résulte que plus aucun élément de ce dispositif conventionnel ne retient le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture lorsque le vantail mobile est ouvert.Thus, with this conventional device, the second retainer deviates from its reference position to adopt its release position when the leaf mobile is outside its closed position. As a result, no more element of this conventional device holds the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position when the mobile leaf is open.

Par conséquent, ce dispositif conventionnel présente l'inconvénient d'autoriser, lorsque le vantail mobile est en position d'ouverture, une ouverture intempestive du vantail semi-fixe, en particulier sous l'effet du vent ou de son propre poids lorsqu'il n'est pas d'aplomb.Therefore, this conventional device has the disadvantage of allowing, when the mobile leaf is in the open position, inadvertent opening of the leaf semi-fixed, particularly under the effect of the wind or its own weight when is not plumb.

Or, il est normalement d'usage que le vantail semi-fixe demeure en position de fermeture suite à l'ouverture du vantail mobile, une ouverture du vantail semi-fixe n'étant généralement souhaitable qu'en de rares circonstances bien particulières. Dès lors, une ouverture intempestive du vantail semi-fixe dégrade sa fonctionnalité de vantail dit « semi-fixe ».However, it is usual for the semi-fixed leaf to remain in the closed position following the opening of the mobile leaf, an opening of the semi-fixed leaf being generally desirable only in very rare circumstances. Therefore, unintentional opening of the semi-fixed leaf degrades its functionality of so-called "semi-fixed" leaf.

Par conséquent, compte-tenu de ce qui précède, il existe un besoin pressant pour la mise au point d'un dispositif de retenue qui améliore la fonctionnalité du vantail semi-fixe tout en étant peu contraignant d'utilisation.Therefore, in view of the foregoing, there is a pressing need for the development of a retainer which improves the functionality of the semi-fixed leaf while being less restrictive of use.

PRESENTATION DE L'INVENTIONPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Un aspect du présent exposé concerne un dispositif de retenue pour un vantail semi-fixe coopérant avec un vantail mobile pour fermer une ouverture.One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a retainer for a semi-fixed leaf cooperating with a movable leaf to close an opening.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, ce dispositif peut être tel qu'il comprend : un premier organe de retenue apte à être solidaire d'un premier objet parmi le vantail semi-fixe et le pourtour de l'ouverture au voisinage d'un lieu de rencontre des deux vantaux ; un deuxième organe de retenue apte à être monté mobile sur l'autre desdits objets de manière à pouvoir occuper une position de référence dans laquelle les premier et deuxième organes de retenue sont aptes à coopérer ensemble pour retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture, et de manière à pouvoir s'écarter de cette position de référence selon un premier sens de déplacement pour permettre une libération de ladite coopération pour autoriser un mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe ; un premier organe de commande destiné à être solidaire du vantail mobile ; et un deuxième organe de commande apte à être monté mobile sur l'autre desdits objets pour, lors de la fermeture du vantail mobile, coopérer par effet de came avec le premier organe de commande pour solliciter un déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue.In some embodiments, this device may be such that it comprises: a first retaining member adapted to be secured to a first object among the semi-fixed leaf and the periphery of the opening in the vicinity of a place of encounter of the two leaves; a second retaining member adapted to be mounted movably on the other of said objects so as to occupy a reference position in which the first and second retaining members are able to cooperate together to retain the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position , and so as to be able to deviate from this reference position in a first direction of movement to allow a release of said cooperation to allow an opening or closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf; a first control member intended to be secured to the mobile leaf; and a second control member adapted to be movably mounted on the other of said objects for, when closing the movable leaf, cam cooperating with the first control member to request a displacement of the second retaining member.

Ce dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue est apte à s'écarter de sa position de référence selon un deuxième sens de déplacement opposé au premier pour permettre un renforcement de la coopération des premier et deuxième organe de retenue pour plus fermement retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture ; le dispositif comprend des moyens de rappel configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue s'écarte de sa position de référence selon un sens de déplacement quelconque parmi les premier et deuxième sens, rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de référence ; la coopération par effet de came des premier et deuxième organes de commande sollicite un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue par rapport à sa position de référence selon le deuxième sens ; et les premier et deuxième organes de retenue sont configurés pour, lorsque le mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe est sollicité, coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue par rapport à sa position de référence selon le premier sens.This device may be such that the second retaining member is able to deviate from its reference position in a second direction of displacement opposite the first to allow a reinforcement of the cooperation of the first and second retaining member to more firmly retain the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position; the device comprises return means configured for, when the second retaining member deviates from its reference position in any of the first and second direction of movement, recalling the second retaining member towards its reference position; the camming cooperation of the first and second control members urges a spacing of the second retaining member from its reference position in the second direction; and the first and second retaining members are configured for, when the opening or closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf is biased, cooperate by a camming effect to request a spacing of the second retaining member from its reference position. according to the first meaning.

Dans ces modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être arrangé de telle sorte que le deuxième organe de retenue soit apte à s'écarter de sa position de référence, non seulement selon un premier sens de déplacement selon lequel la coopération des premier et deuxième organes de retenue peut être libérée, mais également selon un deuxième sens de déplacement opposé au premier selon lequel cette coopération peut être renforcée pour plus fermement retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture.In these embodiments, the device can be arranged so that the second retaining member is able to deviate from its reference position, not only in a first direction of movement in which the cooperation of the first and second members of the device. retaining can be released, but also in a second direction of movement opposite the first according to which this cooperation can be strengthened to more firmly hold the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position.

Cette coopération renforcée peut alors être telle que le vantail semi-fixe peut être suffisamment fermement retenu pour être empêché de quitter sa position de fermeture, même lorsque l'utilisateur sollicite son ouverture. Le vantail semi-fixe est alors verrouillé en position de fermeture par cette coopération du premier organe de retenue avec le deuxième organe de retenue ayant atteint une position dite de renforcement de la coopération qui est écartée de sa position de référence selon le deuxième sens.This enhanced cooperation can then be such that the semi-fixed leaf can be sufficiently firmly retained to be prevented from leaving its closed position, even when the user requests opening. The semi-fixed leaf is then locked in the closed position by this cooperation of the first retaining member with the second retaining member having reached a so-called reinforcement position of the cooperation which is spaced from its reference position in the second direction.

Par ailleurs, puisque le vantail semi-fixe peut être fermement retenu en position de fermeture lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue se trouve en dehors de sa position de référence et à distance de cette dernière, cette position de référence peut désormais être mise à profit pour permettre une retenue moins ferme du vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture, en particulier par une coopération des premier et deuxième organes de retenue qui demeure effective mais est désormais moins prononcée.Moreover, since the semi-fixed leaf can be firmly held in the closed position when the second retaining member is outside its reference position and at a distance from the latter, this reference position can now be used for allow a less firm retention of the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position, in particular by a cooperation of the first and second restraint that remains effective but is now less pronounced.

Dès lors, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence, la coopération des premier et deuxième organes de retenue peut désormais définir un point dur de maintien du vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture, qui empêche une ouverture intempestive de ce dernier lorsque le vantail mobile se trouve en dehors de sa position de fermeture, mais qui, lorsqu'une ouverture est intentionnellement souhaitée, peut néanmoins être aisément vaincu par une simple sollicitation en déplacement du vantail semi-fixe vers sa position d'ouverture (par exemple par une simple pression exercée par l'utilisateur directement sur le vantail semi-fixe) pour permettre cette ouverture.Therefore, when the second retaining member occupies its reference position, the cooperation of the first and second retaining members can now define a hard point for holding the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position, which prevents unintentional opening of the latter when the movable leaf is outside its closed position, but which, when an opening is intentionally desired, can nevertheless be easily overcome by a simple urging movement of the semi-fixed leaf to its open position (for example by a simple pressure exerted by the user directly on the semi-fixed leaf) to allow this opening.

Par ailleurs, afin de rendre plus aisée la libération ou la réalisation de ce point dur de maintien, le dispositif peut être tel que les premier et deuxième organes de retenue sont configurés pour, lorsque le mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe est sollicité tandis que le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence, coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter l'écartement du deuxième organe de retenue selon le premier sens.Furthermore, in order to make it easier to release or carry out this hard holding point, the device may be such that the first and second retaining members are configured for, when the opening or closing movement of the semi-leaf is fixed is biased while the second retaining member occupies its reference position, cooperating by cam effect to solicit the spacing of the second retaining member in the first direction.

Plus précisément, lorsque le vantail mobile est en dehors de sa position de fermeture, le deuxième organe de retenue peut occuper sa position de référence.More precisely, when the mobile leaf is out of its closed position, the second retaining member can occupy its reference position.

Ainsi, lorsqu'un mouvement d'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe est sollicité à partir de sa position de fermeture, la position relative entre les premier et deuxième organes de retenue peut les autoriser à coopérer ensemble par effet de came.Thus, when an opening movement of the semi-fixed leaf is biased from its closed position, the relative position between the first and second retaining members may allow them to cooperate together by camming.

Le deuxième organe de retenue peut alors être progressivement écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens, au fur et à mesure que le vantail semi-fixe s'éloigne de sa position de fermeture, jusqu'à ce que le deuxième organe de retenue adopte une position dite de « libération » dans laquelle la position relative entre les premier et deuxième organes de retenue les empêche de coopérer ensemble (ils sont ainsi libérés de leur coopération mutuelle, par exemple en étant désengagés l'un de l'autre).The second retaining member can then be progressively removed from its reference position in the first direction, as the semi-fixed leaf moves away from its closed position, until the second retaining member adopts a so-called "release" position in which the relative position between the first and second retainers prevents them from cooperating together (they are thus released from their mutual cooperation, for example by being disengaged from each other).

Le mouvement d'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe peut alors se poursuivre jusqu'à ce que ce dernier adopte la position d'ouverture désirée. Le deuxième organe de retenue peut retrouver sa position de référence lorsque le vantail semi-fixe dépasse un certain degré d'ouverture.The opening movement of the semi-fixed leaf can then continue until the latter adopts the desired opening position. The second retaining member can return to its reference position when the semi-fixed leaf exceeds a certain degree of opening.

De même, lorsqu'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe est sollicité à partir de sa position d'ouverture tandis que le vantail mobile est en dehors de sa position de fermeture, la position relative entre les premier et deuxième organes de retenue peut les autoriser à coopérer ensemble par effet de came (à partir d'un certain degré de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe).Similarly, when a closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf is biased from its open position while the movable leaf is outside its closed position, the relative position between the first and second retaining members can allow them to cooperate together by camming (from a certain degree of closure of the semi-fixed leaf).

Le deuxième organe de retenue peut alors être progressivement écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens, au fur et à mesure que le vantail semi-fixe se rapproche de sa position de fermeture, jusqu'à ce que le deuxième organe de retenue adopte sa position de libération.The second retaining member can then be progressively removed from its reference position in the first direction, as the semi-fixed leaf approaches its closed position, until the second retaining member adopts his liberation position.

Le mouvement de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe peut alors se poursuivre jusqu'à ce qu'il adopte sa position de fermeture, dans laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue peut retrouver sa position de référence et ainsi coopérer avec le premier organe de retenue pour retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture.The closure movement of the semi-fixed leaf can then continue until it adopts its closed position, in which the second retaining member can return to its reference position and thus cooperate with the first retaining member to retain the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position.

Par ailleurs, le dispositif peut être tel qu'il comporte un premier organe de commande destiné à être solidaire du vantail mobile ; et un deuxième organe de commande apte à être monté mobile sur l'autre desdits objets (parmi le vantail semi-fixe et le pourtour de l'ouverture) pour, lors d'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail mobile, coopérer par effet de came avec le premier organe de commande pour solliciter l'écartement du deuxième organe de retenue selon le deuxième sens (c'est-à-dire pour, à partir de la position de référence du deuxième organe de retenue, solliciter son déplacement vers sa position de renforcement de la coopération).Furthermore, the device may be such that it comprises a first control member intended to be secured to the mobile leaf; and a second control member adapted to be movably mounted on the other of said objects (among the semi-fixed leaf and the periphery of the opening) for, during a closing movement of the movable leaf, to cooperate by a cam effect with the first control member for biasing the second retaining member in the second direction (that is, from the reference position of the second retaining member to urge its movement towards its position of strengthening of cooperation).

Lorsque le vantail semi-fixe adopte sa position de fermeture, le deuxième organe de retenue peut occuper sa position de référence, de sorte que le deuxième organe de commande peut également adopter une position de référence.When the semi-fixed leaf adopts its closed position, the second retaining member can occupy its reference position, so that the second control member can also adopt a reference position.

Ainsi, lorsque le vantail mobile est déplacé vers sa position de fermeture à partir de sa position d'ouverture tandis que le vantail semi-fixe occupe sa position de fermeture (tandis que le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence), la position relative entre les premier et deuxième organes de commande peut les autoriser à coopérer ensemble par effet de came (à partir d'un certain degré de fermeture du vantail mobile).Thus, when the movable leaf is moved to its closed position from its open position while the semi-fixed leaf is in its closed position (while the second retainer is in its reference position), the position relative between the first and second control members may allow them to cooperate together by camming (from a certain degree of closure of the mobile leaf).

Dès lors, au fur et à mesure que le vantail mobile se rapproche de sa position de fermeture, le deuxième organe de commande peut être progressivement écarté de sa position de référence de manière à provoquer un déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de renforcement de sa coopération avec le premier organe de retenue (de manière à solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue, à partir de la position de référence de ce dernier, selon le deuxième sens de déplacement).Therefore, as the movable leaf approaches its closed position, the second control member can be gradually moved away from its reference position so as to cause a displacement of the second retaining member to its position of reinforcing its cooperation with the first retaining member (so as to request a spacing of the second retaining member, from the reference position of the latter, in the second direction of movement).

Par ailleurs, le dispositif peut être tel qu'il comporte des moyens de rappel configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue est écarté de sa position de référence selon un sens de déplacement quelconque parmi les premier et deuxième sens, rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de référence.Furthermore, the device may be such that it comprises return means configured to, when the second retaining member is spaced from its reference position in any direction of movement among the first and second directions, recall the second member of retained towards its reference position.

Dans le présent exposé, on entend préciser par l'expression « selon un sens de déplacement quelconque parmi les premier et deuxième sens », que les moyens de rappel sont tels qu'ils permettent un rappel du deuxième organe de retenue vers sa position de référence, non seulement lorsque ce deuxième organe est écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens de déplacement, mais également lorsque ce deuxième organe est écarté de sa position de référence selon le deuxième sens de déplacement. En d'autres termes, le deuxième organe de retenue est rappelé vers sa position de référence par la sollicitation des moyens de rappel, non seulement lorsque cet organe est en dehors de sa position de référence en étant déplacé vers sa position de renforcement de la coopération, mais également lorsque cet organe est en dehors de sa position de référence en étant déplacé vers sa position de libération de la coopération.In the present description, it is meant to specify by the expression "in any direction of movement among the first and second directions" that the return means are such as to allow a return of the second retaining member towards its reference position. , not only when the second member is spaced from its reference position in the first direction of movement, but also when the second member is spaced from its reference position in the second direction of movement. In other words, the second retaining member is biased towards its reference position by the biasing of the return means, not only when this member is outside its reference position by being moved towards its position of reinforcing the cooperation. but also when this organ is out of its reference position by being moved to its position of releasing the cooperation.

La position de référence du deuxième organe de retenue peut alors être une position d'équilibre pour les moyens de rappel, dans laquelle les moyens de rappel exercent une force résultante nulle sur le deuxième organe de retenue (par exemple, en ayant les moyens de rappel qui sont au repos lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe cette position d'équilibre), et en dehors de laquelle les moyens de rappel exercent sur le deuxième organe de retenue une force résultante non nulle, selon la direction de déplacement de cet organe et dans le sens de son rapprochement de sa position d'équilibre.The reference position of the second retaining member may then be an equilibrium position for the return means, in which the return means exert a zero resultant force on the second retaining member (for example, by having the return means which are at rest when the second retaining member occupies this position of equilibrium), and outside of which the return means exert on the second retaining member a resultant non-zero force, according to the direction of movement of this organ and in the sense of his coming closer to his equilibrium position.

En outre, lorsque les vantaux mobile et semi-fixe sont tous deux en position de fermeture et qu'un mouvement d'ouverture du vantail mobile est amorcé, le deuxième organe de commande peut être progressivement déplacé en direction de sa position de référence (par l'intermédiaire du deuxième organe de retenue qui, de par la sollicitation qu'exercent sur lui les moyens de rappel, est contraint de se rapprocher progressivement de sa position de référence au fur et à mesure que le vantail mobile s'éloigne de sa position de fermeture), jusqu'à ce que le vantail mobile atteigne un degré d'ouverture suffisant pour que la position relative des premier et deuxième organes de commande soit telle que le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande retrouvent leurs positions de référence respectives.In addition, when the movable and semi-fixed leaves are both in the closed position and an opening movement of the mobile leaf is initiated, the second control member can be progressively moved towards its reference position (by through the second retaining member which, by the solicitation exerted on it by the return means, is constrained to gradually move closer to its reference position as the movable leaf moves away from its closing position), until the mobile leaf reaches a degree of opening sufficient for the relative position of the first and second control members is such that the second retaining member and the second control member regain their respective reference positions.

Par ailleurs, lorsque le vantail mobile est en dehors de sa position de fermeture et qu'un mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe est amorcé, le deuxième organe de retenue peut être écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens par la coopération par effet de came avec le premier organe de retenue, jusqu'à ce que le degré d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe soit suffisant pour que cette coopération par effet de came soit libérée. Dès lors, le deuxième organe de retenue peut retrouver sa position de référence de par la sollicitation que les moyens de rappel exercent sur lui.Furthermore, when the movable leaf is outside its closed position and an opening or closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf is initiated, the second retaining member can be moved away from its reference position according to the first sense by the camming with the first retaining member, until the degree of opening or closing of the semi-fixed leaf is sufficient for this camming cooperation is released. Therefore, the second retaining member can return to its reference position by the solicitation that the return means exert on him.

Par ailleurs, dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel qu'un organe parmi les premier et deuxième organes de retenue comporte une partie mâle apte à être engagée dans une partie femelle que comporte l'autre organe de retenue, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence, être tel que la partie mâle est davantage engagée dans la partie femelle lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue est écarté de sa position de référence selon le deuxième sens, et être tel que la partie mâle est désengagée de la partie femelle lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue est écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens.Furthermore, in some embodiments, the device may be such that one of the first and second retaining members comprises a male part adapted to be engaged in a female part that comprises the other retaining member, when the second retaining member occupies its reference position, be such that the male part is more engaged in the female part when the second retaining member is spaced from its reference position in the second direction, and be such that the male part is disengaged from the female part when the second retaining member is moved away from its reference position in the first direction.

Dans le présent exposé, la notion de parties « mâle » et « femelle » doit être comprise au sens large. Ainsi, les parties mâle et femelle peuvent présenter n'importe quelles structures et formes respectives, pourvu seulement qu'au moins une portion de la partie dite « femelle » et qu'au moins une portion de la partie dite « mâle » soient aptes à être disposées en regard l'une de l'autre de manière à pouvoir coopérer ensemble pour retenir le vantail semi-fixe en position de fermeture.In this presentation, the notion of "male" and "female" parts must be understood in a broad sense. Thus, the male and female parts may have any respective structures and shapes, provided only that at least a portion of the so-called "female" portion and at least a portion of the so-called "male" portion are suitable for be arranged facing one another so as to cooperate together to retain the semi-fixed leaf in the closed position.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, les parties femelle et mâle peuvent être respectivement prévues sur le premier organe de retenue et sur le deuxième organe de retenue.In some embodiments, the female and male portions may be respectively provided on the first retainer and the second retainer.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, les parties femelle et mâle peuvent être respectivement prévues sur le deuxième organe de retenue et sur le premier organe de retenue.In some embodiments, the female and male portions may be respectively provided on the second retainer and on the first retainer.

Par ailleurs, dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que, les vantaux mobile et semi-fixe s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan du pourtour de l'ouverture lorsqu'ils sont tous deux en position de fermeture, le deuxième organe de retenue est apte à se déplacer sensiblement parallèlement au plan du pourtour de l'ouverture, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe occupe sa position de fermeture.Furthermore, in some embodiments, the device may be such that, the mobile and semi-fixed leaves extending substantially in a plane of the periphery of the opening when they are both in the closed position, the second member retainer is able to move substantially parallel to the plane of the perimeter of the opening, when the semi-fixed leaf is in its closed position.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue est apte à être monté pivotant sur l'autre desdits objets (vantail semi-fixe ou pourtour de l'ouverture).In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member is adapted to be pivotally mounted on the other of said objects (semi-fixed leaf or around the opening).

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue est apte à être monté coulissant sur l'autre desdits objets.In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member is slidably mounted on the other of said objects.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que, le vantail semi-fixe étant apte à se déplacer en pivotant autour d'un axe de pivotement, le deuxième organe de retenue est apte à se translater, au choix, selon une direction de déplacement parallèle à cet axe de pivotement, ou selon une direction de déplacement perpendiculaire à cet axe de pivotement.In some embodiments, the device may be such that, the semi-fixed leaf being able to move by pivoting about a pivot axis, the second retaining member is able to translate, as desired, in one direction. displacement parallel to this pivot axis, or in a direction of displacement perpendicular to this pivot axis.

Par ailleurs, le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande peuvent être aptes à être couplés en déplacement. Cette notion de couplage doit s'interpréter au sens large dans le présent exposé.Furthermore, the second retaining member and the second control member may be able to be coupled in displacement. This notion of coupling must be interpreted broadly in this paper.

Ainsi, dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande sont couplés en déplacement avec jeu de manière à autoriser un déplacement relatif entre le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande. En particulier, ces deux organes peuvent être aptes à décrire des trajectoires distinctes ou analogues.Thus, in certain embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member and the second control member are coupled in displacement with clearance so as to allow relative movement between the second retaining member and the second control member. . In particular, these two members may be able to describe distinct or similar trajectories.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande sont solidaires en déplacement.In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member and the second control member are integral in displacement.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande sont deux organes dissociés, solidaires ou non en déplacement (au choix).In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member and the second control member are two disassociated members, integral or not moving (optionally).

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue et le deuxième organe de commande sont formés (d'un seul tenant) en une seule pièce dite pièce commune, ce qui permet de simplifier le dispositif et diminuer les coûts de fabrications.In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member and the second control member are formed (in one piece) in one piece called common part, which simplifies the device and reduce the manufacturing costs.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, la pièce commune comporte une tige qui est apte à être montée coulissante sur ledit autre desdits objets, et qui comprend une première extrémité définissant le deuxième organe de retenue.In some embodiments, the common part comprises a rod which is able to be slidably mounted on said other of said objects, and which comprises a first end defining the second retaining member.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, la tige comprend une deuxième extrémité opposée à la première et dans le prolongement de laquelle est formé le deuxième organe de commande.In some embodiments, the rod comprises a second end opposite to the first and in the extension of which is formed the second control member.

Par ailleurs, dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel qu'il comprend des première et deuxième surfaces d'appui solidaires en déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue, et tel que les moyens de rappel sont configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue est écarté par rapport à sa position de référence respectivement selon le premier sens et selon le deuxième sens, exercer leur rappel respectivement sur la première surface d'appui et sur la deuxième surface d'appui.Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the device may be such that it comprises first and second bearing surfaces integral in displacement of the second retaining member, and such that the return means are configured for, when the second member retainer is spaced from its reference position respectively in the first direction and the second direction, respectively recall the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface.

Les première et deuxième surfaces d'appui peuvent être, au choix, des éléments rapportés à fixer sur le deuxième organe de retenue, ou bien formés d'un seul tenant avec le deuxième organe de retenue.The first and second bearing surfaces may be, as desired, inserts for attachment to the second retainer, or formed integrally with the second retainer.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que le deuxième organe de retenue comporte au moins un renfoncement à l'intérieur duquel les moyens de rappel sont au moins en partie logés.In some embodiments, the device may be such that the second retaining member comprises at least one recess inside which the return means are at least partly housed.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel qu'au moins une des deux surfaces (voire les deux) parmi, au choix, la première surface d'appui et la deuxième surface d'appui est au moins en partie logée dans le renfoncement.In certain embodiments, the device may be such that at least one of the two surfaces (or both) of, optionally, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface is at least partly housed in the recess.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que la paroi intérieure du renfoncement présente une première portion qui définit une surface parmi, au choix, les première et deuxième surfaces d'appui (ladite une surface étant ainsi formée d'un seul tenant avec le deuxième organe de retenue).In some embodiments, the device may be such that the inner wall of the recess has a first portion that defines a surface of, optionally, the first and second bearing surfaces (said one surface thus being integrally formed with the second retainer).

Dans certains modes de réalisation, le dispositif peut être tel que cette paroi intérieure du renfoncement présente une deuxième portion qui définit l'autre surface parmi les première et deuxième surfaces d'appui (ladite autre surface étant ainsi formée d'un seul tenant avec le deuxième organe de retenue).In some embodiments, the device may be such that this inner wall of the recess has a second portion which defines the other surface of the first and second bearing surfaces (said other surface thus being integrally formed with the second retainer).

Selon cet exemple, les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 sont montés mobiles sur un dormant 3 qui est destiné à être fixé (par tout moyen conventionnel) au pourtour de l'ouverture.According to this example, the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 are movably mounted on a frame 3 which is intended to be fixed (by any conventional means) around the opening.

Selon cet exemple, les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 sont tous deux aptes à pivoter autour d'axes de pivotement respectifs entre des positions respectives d'ouverture et de fermeture.According to this example, the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 are both able to pivot about respective pivot axes between respective positions of opening and closing.

En particulier, ces axes de pivotement respectifs sont tous deux colinéaires. Encore plus particulièrement, ces axes de pivotement sont parallèles à la direction verticale.In particular, these respective pivot axes are both collinear. Even more particularly, these pivot axes are parallel to the vertical direction.

Selon cet exemple, le dormant 3 comprend deux traverses et deux montants.According to this example, the frame 3 comprises two sleepers and two uprights.

En particulier, les deux traverses sont horizontales (elles sont espacées selon la direction verticale), et les deux montants sont verticaux (ils sont espacés selon la direction horizontale).In particular, the two crosspieces are horizontal (they are spaced in the vertical direction), and the two uprights are vertical (they are spaced in the horizontal direction).

Selon cet exemple, le dispositif comprend notamment des premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35, des premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40, et des moyens de rappel 60.According to this example, the device comprises in particular first and second retaining members 10 and 35, first and second control members 70 and 40, and return means 60.

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de retenue 10 est apte à être solidaire du pourtour de l'ouverture au voisinage d'un lieu de rencontre des deux vantaux 1 et 2.According to this example, the first retaining member 10 is able to be secured to the periphery of the opening in the vicinity of a meeting point of the two leaves 1 and 2.

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de retenue 10 est apte à être monté fixe par rapport au pourtour de l'ouverture.According to this example, the first retaining member 10 is adapted to be fixedly mounted relative to the periphery of the opening.

Plus particulièrement, le premier organe de retenue 10 est apte à être fixé sur le dormant 3, par exemple sur une des deux traverses du dormant 3, comme illustré en particulier aux figures 1 et 3.More particularly, the first retaining member 10 is able to be fixed on the frame 3, for example on one of the two crosspieces of the frame 3, as illustrated in particular in FIGS. figures 1 and 3 .

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à être monté mobile sur le vantail semi-fixe 2 de manière à pouvoir occuper une position de référence Z0 (voir en particulier les figures 2 et 8C) dans laquelle les premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 sont aptes à coopérer ensemble pour retenir le vantail semi-fixe 2 en position de fermeture, et de manière à pouvoir s'écarter de cette position de référence Z0, d'une part selon un premier sens de déplacement N pour permettre une libération de ladite coopération pour autoriser un mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2 (voir en particulier la figure 8B), et d'autre part selon un deuxième sens de déplacement P opposé au premier N pour permettre un renforcement de la coopération des premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 pour plus fermement retenir le vantail semi-fixe 2 en position de fermeture (voir en particulier les figures 5 et 8D).According to this example, the second retaining member 35 is able to be mounted to move on the semi-fixed leaf 2 so as to be able to occupy a reference position Z0 (see in particular the figures 2 and 8C ) in which the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 are able to cooperate together to retain the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the closed position, and so as to be able to deviate from this reference position Z0, on the one hand in a first direction of movement N to allow a release of said cooperation to allow movement opening or closing of the semi-fixed leaf 2 (see in particular the Figure 8B ), and secondly in a second direction of displacement P opposite the first N to allow a reinforcement of the cooperation of the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 to more firmly hold the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the closed position ( see especially the figures 5 and 8D ).

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de commande 70 est destiné à être solidaire du vantail mobile 1.According to this example, the first control member 70 is intended to be secured to the mobile leaf 1.

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de commande 70 est destiné à être fixe par rapport au vantail mobile 1.According to this example, the first control member 70 is intended to be fixed relative to the mobile leaf 1.

Plus particulièrement, dans cet exemple (voir en particulier les figures 3 et 9), le dispositif comprend une première pièce rapportée 70 matérialisant le premier organe de commande ; et une deuxième pièce rapportée 75 sur laquelle est fixée la première pièce rapportée 70 (par l'intermédiaire de tout moyen de fixation conventionnel, par exemple une ou plusieurs vis) et qui apte à être fixée sur le vantail mobile 1 (également par l'intermédiaire de tout moyen de fixation conventionnel, par exemple une ou plusieurs vis).More particularly, in this example (see in particular the figures 3 and 9 ), the device comprises a first insert 70 embodying the first control member; and a second insert 75 on which is fixed the first insert 70 (by means of any conventional fastening means, for example one or more screws) and which can be fixed on the movable leaf 1 (also by the intermediate of any conventional fastening means, for example one or more screws).

Selon cet exemple, la deuxième pièce rapportée 75 est apte à prendre position au moins en partie en feuillure du vantail mobile 1.According to this example, the second insert 75 is able to take up position at least partly in rebate of the mobile leaf 1.

Plus particulièrement, la deuxième pièce rapportée 75 est apte à être logée au moins en partie dans une gorge 4 (visible sur la figure 3) ménagée dans l'épaisseur d'un bord du vantail mobile 1 destiné à venir en regard du vantail semi-fixe 2, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions de fermeture respectives.More particularly, the second insert 75 is able to be housed at least partly in a groove 4 (visible on the figure 3 ) formed in the thickness of an edge of the movable leaf 1 intended to come opposite the semi-fixed leaf 2, when the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 occupy their respective closed positions.

Dans cet exemple, cette gorge 4 est une rainure dite « européenne » qui est ménagée dans l'épaisseur de ce bord du vantail mobile 1 (en particulier, dans l'épaisseur du bord vertical du vantail mobile 1 destiné à venir en regard du vantail semi-fixe 2, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions de fermeture respectives).In this example, this groove 4 is a so-called "European" groove which is formed in the thickness of this edge of the mobile leaf 1 (in particular, in the thickness of the vertical edge of the mobile leaf 1 intended to come opposite the leaf semi-fixed 2, when the movable leaves 1 and semi-fixed 2 occupy their respective closed positions).

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième organe de commande 40 est apte à être monté mobile sur le vantail semi-fixe 2.According to this example, the second control member 40 is able to be mounted to move on the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 et le deuxième organe de commande 40 sont solidaires en déplacement.According to this example, the second retaining member 35 and the second control member 40 are integral in displacement.

Plus particulièrement, dans cet exemple, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 et le deuxième organe de commande 40 sont formés en une seule pièce dite pièce commune 30 (voir en particulier les figures 8A à 8D).More particularly, in this example, the second retaining member 35 and the second control member 40 are formed in one piece called common part 30 (see in particular the Figures 8A to 8D ).

Selon cet exemple, cette pièce commune 30 est une pièce globalement longiligne (en particulier une tige) qui est apte à être montée coulissante sur le vantail semi-fixe 2.According to this example, this common part 30 is a generally elongate piece (in particular a rod) which is able to be slidably mounted on the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Plus particulièrement, dans cet exemple, la pièce commune 30 est apte à se déplacer le long d'une direction de déplacement parallèle à l'axe de pivotement du vantail semi-fixe 2.More particularly, in this example, the common part 30 is able to move along a direction of displacement parallel to the pivot axis of the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Ainsi, dans cet exemple, en considérant que les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement au plan du pourtour de l'ouverture lorsqu'ils sont tous deux en position de fermeture, la pièce commune 30 est apte à se déplacer sensiblement parallèlement au plan du pourtour de l'ouverture, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture.Thus, in this example, considering that the movable leaves 1 and semi-fixed 2 extend substantially parallel to the plane of the perimeter of the opening when they are both in the closed position, the common part 30 is able to move substantially parallel to the plane of the perimeter of the opening, when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in its closed position.

Encore plus particulièrement dans cet exemple, la pièce commune 30 est apte à se translater verticalement.Even more particularly in this example, the common part 30 is able to translate vertically.

Ainsi, dans cet exemple, chacun des deux organes parmi le deuxième organe de retenue 35 et le deuxième organe de commande 40 sont aptes à se déplacer selon cette direction de déplacement, en particulier à se translater verticalement.Thus, in this example, each of the two members of the second retaining member 35 and the second control member 40 are able to move in this direction of movement, in particular to translate vertically.

En outre, dans cet exemple, chacun de ces deux organes 35 et 40 sont aptes à sa déplacer sensiblement parallèlement au plan du pourtour de l'ouverture, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture.In addition, in this example, each of these two members 35 and 40 are able to move substantially parallel to the plane of the perimeter of the opening, when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in its closed position.

Selon cet exemple, la pièce commune 30 comprend une première extrémité 35 définissant le deuxième organe de retenue ; et une deuxième extrémité 40 opposée à la première (selon la direction de déplacement de la pièce commune 30 dans cet exemple) et dans le prolongement de laquelle est formé le deuxième organe de commande.According to this example, the common part 30 comprises a first end 35 defining the second retaining member; and a second end 40 opposite to the first end (in the direction of movement of the common part 30 in this example) and in the extension of which is formed the second control member.

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de retenue 10 comporte une partie femelle, et le deuxième organe de retenue 35 définit une partie mâle apte à être engagée dans cette partie femelle lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue occupe sa position de référence Z0 tandis que le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture.According to this example, the first retaining member 10 comprises a female part, and the second retaining member 35 defines a male part adapted to be engaged in this female part when the second retaining member occupies its reference position Z0 while the leaf semi-fixed 2 is in the closed position.

Selon cet exemple, le premier organe de retenue 10 est une gâche apte à être solidaire du pourtour de l'ouverture.According to this example, the first retaining member 10 is a striker capable of being secured to the periphery of the opening.

Plus particulièrement, comme illustré à la figure 2, cette gâche comprend une paroi avant 12, qui se dresse devant le deuxième organe de retenue 35, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture, et qui est apte à coopérer avec le deuxième organe de retenue 35 pour s'opposer à l'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2.In particular, as illustrated in figure 2 , this striker comprises a front wall 12, which stands in front of the second retaining member 35, when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in the closed position, and which is adapted to cooperate with the second retaining member 35 to oppose at the opening of the semi-fixed leaf 2.

En outre, selon cet exemple, la gâche comprend une paroi arrière 16, qui se dresse derrière le deuxième organe de retenue 35, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture, et qui est apte à coopérer avec le deuxième organe de retenue 35 pour s'opposer à un mouvement supplémentaire du vantail semi-fixe 2 dans le sens de sa fermeture alors que ce vantail occupe déjà une position de fermeture prédéterminée.In addition, according to this example, the striker comprises a rear wall 16, which rises behind the second retaining member 35, when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in the closed position, and which is adapted to cooperate with the second body of the door. retained 35 to oppose further movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the direction of its closure while the leaf already occupies a predetermined closed position.

Ces parois avant 12 et arrière 16 définissent la partie femelle dans laquelle la partie mâle du deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à être engagée. Il est précisé que la présence de la paroi arrière 16 est facultative, de sorte que la partie femelle pourrait, sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé, tout aussi bien être définie par uniquement la paroi avant 12 de la gâche.These front walls 12 and rear 16 define the female part in which the male portion of the second retaining member 35 is adapted to be engaged. It is specified that the presence of the rear wall 16 is optional, so that the female part could, without departing from the scope of this presentation, just as well be defined by only the front wall 12 of the striker.

Selon cet exemple, lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture tandis que le vantail mobile 1 est en position d'ouverture avec un degré d'ouverture suffisant, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0.According to this example, when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in the closed position while the mobile leaf 1 is in the open position with a sufficient degree of opening, the second retaining member 35 occupies its reference position Z0.

Dans cette configuration, la coopération des premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 définit un point dur de maintien du vantail semi-fixe 2 en position de fermeture, qui empêche une ouverture intempestive de ce dernier, mais qui, lorsqu'une ouverture est intentionnellement souhaitée, peut être néanmoins être aisément vaincu par une simple sollicitation en déplacement du vantail semi-fixe 2 vers sa position d'ouverture pour permettre cette ouverture.In this configuration, the cooperation of the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 defines a hard point for holding the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the closed position, which prevents unintentional opening of the latter, but which, when an opening is intentionally desired, can nevertheless be easily overcome by a simple urging movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2 to its open position to allow this opening.

Selon cet exemple, afin de rendre plus aisée la libération de ce point dur de maintien, il est prévu que les premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 soient configurés pour, lorsque le mouvement d'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2 est sollicité à partir de sa position de fermeture, coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport à sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N (voir en particulier la figure 8B).According to this example, in order to make it easier to release this hard holding point, it is expected that the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 are configured for when the opening movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2 is requested. from its closed position, cooperate by a cam effect to request a spacing of the second retaining member 35 from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N (see in particular the Figure 8B ).

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier à la figure 2, la paroi avant 12 de la gâche présente deux surfaces opposées : une surface intérieure 13, qui est celle des deux surfaces qui est la plus proche du deuxième organe de retenue 35 lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture ; et une surface extérieure 14, qui est celle des deux surfaces qui est la plus proche du deuxième organe de retenue 35 lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en-dehors de sa position de fermeture (comme par exemple illustré à la figure 8A).According to this example, as illustrated in particular in figure 2 , the front wall 12 of the striker has two opposite surfaces: an inner surface 13, which is the one of the two surfaces which is closest to the second retaining member 35 when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in the closed position; and an outer surface 14, which is the one of the two surfaces which is closest to the second retaining member 35 when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is outside its closed position (as for example shown in FIG. figure 8A ).

Selon cet exemple, la surface intérieure 13 présente une première portion 13A qui, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2, est la plus éloignée du deuxième organe de retenue 35 ; et une deuxième portion 13B qui prolonge la première portion 13A, et qui est moins éloignée du deuxième organe de retenue 35.According to this example, the inner surface 13 has a first portion 13A which, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 relative to the semi-fixed leaf 2, is furthest from the second retaining member 35; and a second portion 13B which extends the first portion 13A, and which is less remote from the second retainer 35.

Dans cet exemple, les première et deuxième portions 13A et 13B sont sensiblement planes et non coplanaires.In this example, the first and second portions 13A and 13B are substantially planar and not coplanar.

Plus particulièrement, la première portion 13A est sensiblement parallèle à cette direction de déplacement (elle est en particulier sensiblement verticale dans cet exemple).More particularly, the first portion 13A is substantially parallel to this direction of movement (it is in particular substantially vertical in this example).

D'un autre côté, la deuxième portion 13B est inclinée par rapport à cette direction de déplacement.On the other hand, the second portion 13B is inclined with respect to this direction of movement.

Plus particulièrement, elle définit une portion de rampe apte à coopérer par effet de came avec le deuxième organe de retenue 35 pour solliciter un déplacement de ce dernier, à partir de sa position de référence Z0 et lorsque l'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2 est sollicitée, vers une position de libération ZN (voir la figure 8B) dans laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est moins saillant que dans sa position de référence Z0 de manière à permettre un franchissement de la paroi avant 12 de la gâche pour permettre l'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2.More particularly, it defines a ramp portion able to cooperate by a cam effect with the second retaining member 35 to request a displacement of the latter, from its reference position Z0 and when the opening of the semi-fixed leaf 2 is requested, to a ZN release position (see Figure 8B ) in which the second retaining member 35 is less protruding than in its reference position Z0 so as to allow a crossing of the front wall 12 of the striker to allow the opening of the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Par ailleurs, dans cet exemple, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 adopte sa position de libération ZN (c'est-à-dire lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue se trouve écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N), la partie mâle que définit ce deuxième organe est désengagée de la partie femelle que comprend le premier organe de retenue 10.Furthermore, in this example, when the second retaining member 35 adopts its release position ZN (that is to say when the second retaining member is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N), the male part that defines this second member is disengaged from the female part that comprises the first retaining member 10.

En particulier, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de libération ZN, la première extrémité 35 (qui définit le deuxième organe de retenue) de la pièce commune 30 ne se trouve plus en regard de la surface intérieure 13 de la paroi avant 12 de la gâche (la première extrémité 35 est écartée de cette surface pour pouvoir franchir la paroi avant 12 de manière à permettre l'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2).In particular, when the second retaining member 35 occupies its ZN release position, the first end 35 (which defines the second retaining) of the common part 30 is no longer facing the inner surface 13 of the front wall 12 of the keeper (the first end 35 is spaced from this surface to be able to cross the front wall 12 so as to allow the opening semi-fixed leaf 2).

Dans cet exemple, afin de faciliter encore davantage cette coopération par effet de came et limiter les phénomènes d'usure entre les premier et deuxième organes de retenue, la première extrémité 35 de la pièce commune 30 présente une forme convexe (en particulier une forme arrondie) apte à venir en contact avec la portion de rampe 13B de la gâche, lors d'un mouvement d'ouverture du vantail semi-fixe 2, pour provoquer le déplacement de la pièce commune 30 vers sa position de libération ZN.In this example, in order to further facilitate this camming cooperation and to limit the phenomena of wear between the first and second retaining members, the first end 35 of the common part 30 has a convex shape (in particular a rounded shape ) able to come into contact with the ramp portion 13B of the striker, during an opening movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2, to cause the displacement of the common part 30 towards its release position ZN.

Par ailleurs, dans cet exemple, afin de rendre plus aisée la réalisation du point dur de maintien, il est prévu que les premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 soient configurés pour, lorsque le mouvement de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2 est sollicité à partir de sa position d'ouverture, coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport à sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N (voir en particulier les figures 8A et 8B).On the other hand, in this example, in order to make it easier to produce the hard holding point, it is provided that the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 are configured for, when the closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2 is biased from its open position, cooperate by camming to bias the second retaining member 35 away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N (see in particular the Figures 8A and 8B ).

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier à la figure 2, la surface extérieure 14 de la paroi avant 12 de la gâche présente une portion inclinée par rapport à la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue.According to this example, as illustrated in particular in figure 2 , the outer surface 14 of the front wall 12 of the striker has a portion inclined relative to the direction of movement of the second retaining member.

Plus particulièrement, la surface extérieure 14 présente une portion de rampe apte à coopérer par effet de came avec le deuxième organe de retenue 35 pour solliciter un déplacement de ce dernier, à partir de sa position de référence Z0 et lorsque la fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2 est sollicitée, vers sa position de libération ZN de manière à permettre un franchissement de la paroi avant 12 de la gâche pour permettre la fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2.More particularly, the outer surface 14 has a ramp portion capable of cammingly cooperating with the second retaining member 35 to urge a movement of the latter, from its reference position Z0 and when the closing of the half leaf. fixed 2 is biased towards its release position ZN so as to allow a crossing of the front wall 12 of the striker to allow closing of the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Selon cet exemple, la première extrémité 35 de la pièce commune 30, qui est de forme convexe, est apte à venir en contact avec cette portion de rampe 14, lors d'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2, pour provoquer le déplacement de la pièce commune 30 vers sa position de libération ZN.According to this example, the first end 35 of the common part 30, which is of convex shape, is able to come into contact with this ramp portion 14, during a closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2, to cause the moving the common part 30 to its release position ZN.

Par ailleurs, selon l'exemple illustré (voir en particulier les figures 3 à 5), les premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40 sont configurés pour, lors de la fermeture du vantail mobile 1 (voir la flèche sur la figure 3) tandis que le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture, coopérer ensemble par effet de came pour solliciter un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport à sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P.Moreover, according to the illustrated example (see in particular the Figures 3 to 5 ), the first and second control members 70 and 40 are configured for, when closing the movable leaf 1 (see the arrow on the figure 3 ) while the leaf semi-fixed 2 occupies its closed position, cooperate together by cam effect to solicit a spacing of the second retaining member 35 from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P.

Plus particulièrement, les premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40 sont aptes à coopérer par effet de came pour solliciter un déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue, à partir de sa position de référence Z0 et lors d'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail mobile 1, vers une position de renforcement de la coopération ZP (voir la figure 8D) dans laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est davantage saillant que dans sa position de référence Z0 de manière à renforcer sa coopération avec le premier organe de retenue 10 pour plus fermement retenir le vantail semi-fixe 2 en position de fermeture.More particularly, the first and second control members 70 and 40 are able to cooperate by a cam effect to request a displacement of the second retaining member, from its reference position Z0 and during a closing movement of the movable leaf. 1, towards a position of strengthening cooperation ZP (see figure 8D ) in which the second retaining member 35 is more projecting than in its reference position Z0 so as to reinforce its cooperation with the first retaining member 10 to more firmly hold the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the closed position.

Dans cet exemple, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 adopte sa position de renforcement de la coopération ZP (c'est-à-dire lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue se trouve écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P), la partie mâle que définit ce deuxième organe est davantage engagée dans la partie femelle que comprend le premier organe de retenue 10.In this example, when the second retaining member 35 adopts its position of reinforcing the ZP cooperation (that is to say when the second retaining member is spaced apart from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P), the male part that defines this second member is more engaged in the female part that comprises the first retaining member 10.

Plus particulièrement, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue adopte sa position de renforcement de la coopération ZP, la première extrémité 35 de la pièce commune 30 vient en regard de la première portion 13A de la paroi avant 12 de la gâche (voir en particulier la figure 5).More particularly, when the second retaining member adopts its position of reinforcing the ZP cooperation, the first end 35 of the common part 30 comes opposite the first portion 13A of the front wall 12 of the striker (in particular see FIG. figure 5 ).

Dans cet exemple, afin de permettre la coopération entre les premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40, il est prévu que le premier organe de commande 70 soit apte à faire saillie depuis le vantail mobile 1 pour dépasser de ce dernier en direction du vantail semi-fixe 2, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions respectives de fermeture (voir en particulier la figure 6).In this example, in order to allow cooperation between the first and second control members 70 and 40, provision is made for the first control member 70 to be able to protrude from the mobile wing 1 to protrude from the latter towards the leaf. semi-fixed 2, when the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 occupy their respective closing positions (see in particular the figure 6 ).

D'un autre côté, le deuxième organe de commande 40 est apte à faire saillie depuis le vantail semi-fixe 2 pour dépasser de ce dernier en direction du vantail mobile 1, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 est semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions respectives de fermeture (voir en particulier la figure 7).On the other hand, the second control member 40 is able to protrude from the semi-fixed leaf 2 to protrude from the latter in the direction of the mobile leaf 1, when the movable leaves 1 is semi-fixed 2 occupy their respective positions. closure (see in particular the figure 7 ).

Plus particulièrement, le deuxième organe de commande 40 fait saillie depuis la deuxième extrémité de la pièce commune 30.More particularly, the second control member 40 protrudes from the second end of the common part 30.

Selon cet exemple, afin de faciliter la coopération par effet de came des premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40, au moins l'un de ces deux organes (en particulier les deux dans cet exemple) présente une forme convexe (en particulier une forme arrondie) apte à venir en contact avec l'autre de ces deux organes pour, lors de la fermeture du vantail mobile 1, provoquer par effet de came un déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position ZP de renforcement de sa coopération avec le premier organe de retenue 10.According to this example, in order to facilitate the camming cooperation of the first and second control members 70 and 40, at least one of these two members (in particular both in this example) has a convex shape (in particular a rounded shape) adapted to come into contact with the other of these two members for, when closing the movable leaf 1, to cause by camming a displacement of the second retaining member 35 towards its position ZP of reinforcing its cooperation with the first retaining member 10.

Par ailleurs, selon cet exemple, le dispositif comprend une pièce de guidage 50 apte à être fixée sur le vantail semi-fixe 2 et sur laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est monté mobile.Furthermore, according to this example, the device comprises a guide piece 50 adapted to be fixed on the semi-fixed leaf 2 and on which the second retaining member 35 is movably mounted.

Selon cet exemple, puisque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 et le deuxième organe de commande 40 sont formés en une seule pièce 30, la pièce de guidage 50 est dans cet exemple une pièce de guidage commune sur laquelle est également monté mobile le deuxième organe de commande 40.According to this example, since the second retaining member 35 and the second control member 40 are formed in one piece 30, the guide piece 50 is in this example a common guide piece on which is also movably mounted the second member of order 40.

Plus particulièrement, dans cet exemple, la pièce de guidage 50 comprend une paroi avant 52 destinée à être la plus proche du vantail mobile 1 ; et une paroi arrière 54 destinée à être la plus éloignée du vantail mobile 1, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions respectives de fermeture (voir en particulier les figures 4 et 9).More particularly, in this example, the guide piece 50 comprises a front wall 52 intended to be the closest to the mobile leaf 1; and a rear wall 54 intended to be furthest from the moving leaf 1, when the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 occupy their respective closing positions (see in particular the figures 4 and 9 ).

Dans cet exemple, les parois avant 52 et arrière 54 sont sensiblement planes et parallèles à la direction de déplacement de la pièce commune 30, de manière à permettre l'insertion de cette dernière et son coulissement entre ces deux parois 52 et 54.In this example, the front 52 and rear 54 walls are substantially flat and parallel to the direction of movement of the common part 30, so as to allow the insertion of the latter and its sliding between these two walls 52 and 54.

Selon cet exemple, la pièce de guidage 50 est apte à prendre position au moins en partie dans une gorge 6 (visible sur la figure 1) ménagée dans l'épaisseur d'un bord du vantail semi-fixe 2 destiné à venir en regard du vantail mobile 1, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions de fermeture respectives.According to this example, the guide piece 50 is adapted to take position at least partly in a groove 6 (visible on the figure 1 ) formed in the thickness of an edge of the semi-fixed leaf 2 intended to come opposite the mobile leaf 1, when the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 occupy their respective closed positions.

Dans cet exemple, cette gorge 6 est une rainure dit « européenne » qui est ménagée dans l'épaisseur de ce bord du vantail semi-fixe (en particulier, dans l'épaisseur du bord vertical du vantail semi-fixe 2 destiné à venir en regard du vantail mobile 1, lorsque les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 occupent leurs positions de fermeture respectives).In this example, this groove 6 is a groove called "European" which is formed in the thickness of this edge of the semi-fixed leaf (in particular, in the thickness of the vertical edge of the semi-fixed leaf 2 intended to come into view of the movable leaf 1, when the movable leaves 1 and semi-fixed 2 occupy their respective closed positions).

Dans cet exemple, la pièce de guidage 50 est apte à être fixée au vantail semi-fixe par tout moyen conventionnel (en particulier par l'intermédiaire d'une ou plusieurs vis).In this example, the guide piece 50 is adapted to be fixed to the semi-fixed leaf by any conventional means (in particular by means of one or more screws).

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à faire saillie depuis le vantail semi-fixe 2 pour dépasser de ce dernier en direction du pourtour de l'ouverture (en particulier en direction d'une traverse du dormant 3 dans cet exemple), lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture.According to this example, the second retaining member 35 is able to protrude from the semi-fixed leaf 2 to protrude from the latter towards the periphery of the opening (in particular in the direction of a cross member of the frame 3 in this example ), when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in its closed position.

Par ailleurs, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à occuper au moins trois positions distinctes.Moreover, the second retaining member 35 is able to occupy at least three distinct positions.

La première de ces trois positions correspond à la position de référence Z0 précédemment évoquée. Dans cette position, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 forme un premier relief dont le dénivelé permet une coopération avec le premier organe de retenue 10 telle que le vantail semi-fixe 2 est retenu en position de fermeture.The first of these three positions corresponds to the reference position Z0 previously mentioned. In this position, the second retaining member 35 forms a first relief whose unevenness allows a cooperation with the first retaining member 10 such that the semi-fixed leaf 2 is retained in the closed position.

La deuxième de ces trois positions correspond à la position de libération ZN précédemment évoquée, qui est obtenue par un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, par rapport à sa position de référence Z0, selon le premier sens N. Cette position peut être obtenue par coopération par effet de came des premier et deuxième organes de retenue 10 et 35 lorsqu'un mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du vantail semi-fixe 2 est sollicité. En outre, dans cette position de libération ZN, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 forme un deuxième relief dont le dénivelé est moindre que celui du premier relief (le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est alors moins saillant dans cette position de libération ZN que dans sa position de référence Z0) pour permettre une libération de la coopération de retenue entre les premier et deuxième organe de retenue 10 et 35 pour autoriser ledit mouvement du vantail semi-fixe 2.The second of these three positions corresponds to the ZN release position previously mentioned, which is obtained by a separation of the second retaining member 35, with respect to its reference position Z0, in the first direction N. This position can be obtained by camming cooperation of the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 when an opening or closing movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2 is biased. In addition, in this release position ZN, the second retaining member 35 forms a second relief, the difference in level of which is less than that of the first relief (the second retaining member 35 is then less salient in this release position ZN than in its reference position Z0) to allow a release of the holding cooperation between the first and second retaining members 10 and 35 to allow said movement of the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Dans cet exemple, même lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 fait saillie depuis le vantail semi-fixe 2 pour dépasser en direction du pourtour de l'ouverture (lorsque le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture).In this example, even when the second retaining member 35 is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, the second retaining member 35 protrudes from the semi-fixed leaf 2 to protrude towards the periphery of the opening (when the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in its closed position).

La dernière de ces trois positions correspond à la position de renforcement de la coopération ZP précédemment évoquée, qui est obtenue par un écartement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, par rapport à sa position de référence Z0, selon le deuxième sens P. Cette position peut être obtenue par coopération par effet de came des premier et deuxième organes de commande 70 et 40 lors d'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail mobile 1 tandis que le vantail semi-fixe 2 occupe sa position de fermeture. En outre, dans cette position de renforcement ZP, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 forme un troisième relief dont le dénivelé est plus important que celui du premier relief (le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est alors davantage saillant dans cette position de renforcement de la coopération ZP que dans sa position de référence Z0) pour permettre une retenue plus ferme du vantail semi-fixe 2 en position de fermeture.The last of these three positions corresponds to the reinforcement position of the previously mentioned ZP cooperation, which is obtained by a separation of the second retaining member 35, with respect to its reference position Z0, in the second direction P. This position can be obtained by camming cooperation of the first and second control members 70 and 40 during a movement of closing the movable leaf 1 while the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in its closed position. In addition, in this reinforcement position ZP, the second retaining member 35 forms a third relief whose unevenness is greater than that of the first relief (the second retaining member 35 is then more salient in this position of reinforcing cooperation ZP only in its reference position Z0) to allow a firmer retention of the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the closed position.

Par conséquent, dans cet exemple, la position de référence Z0 constitue une position intermédiaire, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2, entre sa position de libération ZN et sa position de renforcement de la coopération ZP.Therefore, in this example, the reference position Z0 constitutes an intermediate position, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 with respect to the semi-fixed leaf 2, between its release position ZN and its position of reinforcement of the ZP cooperation.

Ainsi, en repérant la distance, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, entre l'extrémité de ce dernier et le point de la pièce de guidage 50 le plus proche de cette extrémité, on obtient, dans cet exemple : ZN < Z0 < ZP (voir en particulier les figures 8A à 8D).Thus, by identifying the distance, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, between the end of the latter and the point of the guide piece 50 closest to this end, we obtain, in this example: ZN <Z0 <ZP (see in particular the Figures 8A to 8D ).

Par ailleurs, selon cet exemple, le dispositif comprend des moyens de rappel 60 configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 s'écarte de sa position de référence Z0 selon un sens de déplacement quelconque parmi les premier et deuxième sens N et P, rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0.Furthermore, according to this example, the device comprises return means 60 configured for, when the second retaining member 35 deviates from its reference position Z0 in any direction of movement among the first and second direction N and P, recall the second retaining member 35 to its reference position Z0.

Selon cet exemple, les moyens de rappel sont constitués d'un premier élément de rappel 60 qui est configuré pour rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 d'une part lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, et d'autre part lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P.According to this example, the return means consist of a first return element 60 which is configured to return the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0 on the one hand when this member 35 is moved away from its reference position. Z0 in the first direction N, and secondly when this member 35 is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P.

Dans cet exemple, le premier élément de rappel 60 est un élément de rappel élastique apte à se déformer selon une direction de déformation.In this example, the first return element 60 is a resilient return element able to deform in a direction of deformation.

Le premier élément de rappel présente des première et deuxième extrémités 61 et 62 espacées selon cette direction de déformation.The first return element has first and second ends 61 and 62 spaced along this direction of deformation.

Selon cet exemple, cette direction de déformation est destinée à être parallèle à la direction de déplacement le long de laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à se déplacer par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2.According to this example, this direction of deformation is intended to be parallel to the direction of displacement along which the second retaining member 35 is able to move relative to the semi-fixed leaf 2.

En particulier, la direction de déformation du premier élément de rappel 60 est destinée à être parallèle à la direction verticale.In particular, the direction of deformation of the first return element 60 is intended to be parallel to the vertical direction.

Dans cet exemple, la pièce commune 30 présente un renfoncement 31 à l'intérieur duquel le premier élément de rappel 60 est au moins en partie apte à être logé.In this example, the common part 30 has a recess 31 inside which the first return element 60 is at least partially able to be housed.

Plus particulièrement, comme illustré à la figure 9, ce renfoncement 31 présente un fond ouvert. Dans cet exemple, le renfoncement 31 constitue une ouverture traversant la pièce commune 30 dans toute son épaisseur.In particular, as illustrated in figure 9 this recess 31 has an open bottom. In this example, the recess 31 constitutes an opening through the common part 30 throughout its thickness.

Selon cet exemple, le dispositif comprend des première et deuxième surfaces d'appui 36 et 37 solidaires en déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35. Les moyens de rappel 60 sont configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté par rapport à sa position de référence Z0 respectivement selon le premier sens N et selon le deuxième sens P, exercer leur rappel respectivement directement sur la première surface d'appui 36 et directement sur la deuxième surface d'appui 37.According to this example, the device comprises first and second bearing surfaces 36 and 37 integral in displacement of the second retaining member 35. The return means 60 are configured for, when the second retaining member 35 is spaced from its reference position Z0 respectively in the first direction N and in the second direction P, exert their return respectively directly on the first bearing surface 36 and directly on the second bearing surface 37.

Dans cet exemple, ces première et deuxième surfaces d'appui 36 et 37 sont formées d'un seul tenant avec la pièce commune 30.In this example, these first and second bearing surfaces 36 and 37 are formed in one piece with the common part 30.

Plus particulièrement, ces première et deuxième surfaces d'appui 36 et 37 sont matérialisées par des première et deuxième portions de la paroi intérieure du renfoncement 31 qui sont espacées selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2.More particularly, these first and second bearing surfaces 36 and 37 are materialized by first and second portions of the inner wall of the recess 31 which are spaced in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 relative to the semi-fixed leaf. 2.

Par ailleurs, selon cet exemple, le dispositif comprend des troisième et quatrième surfaces d'appui 55 et 56 solidaires de la pièce de guidage 50. Les moyens de rappel 60 sont configurés pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 50 est écarté par rapport à sa position de référence Z0 respectivement selon le premier sens N et selon le deuxième sens P, coopérer respectivement avec la troisième surface d'appui 55 et avec la quatrième surface d'appui 56 pour solliciter le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0.Furthermore, according to this example, the device comprises third and fourth bearing surfaces 55 and 56 integral with the guide piece 50. The return means 60 are configured for, when the second retaining member 50 is spaced relative to its reference position Z0 respectively in the first direction N and in the second direction P, respectively cooperate with the third bearing surface 55 and with the fourth bearing surface 56 to bias the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0.

Dans cet exemple, ces troisième et quatrième surfaces d'appui 55 et 56 sont formées d'un seul tenant avec la pièce de guidage 50.In this example, these third and fourth bearing surfaces 55 and 56 are formed integrally with the guide piece 50.

Plus particulièrement, la pièce de guidage 50 présente un renfoncement 57. Ces troisième et quatrième surfaces d'appui 55 et 56 sont matérialisées par des première et deuxième portions de la paroi intérieure du renfoncement 57 qui sont espacées selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2.More particularly, the guide piece 50 has a recess 57. These third and fourth bearing surfaces 55 and 56 are embodied by first and second portions of the inner wall of the recess 57 which are spaced in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 relative to the semi-fixed leaf 2.

Selon cet exemple, le renfoncement 57 est ménagé dans la paroi arrière 54 de la pièce de guidage 50.According to this example, the recess 57 is formed in the rear wall 54 of the guide piece 50.

Plus particulièrement, le renfoncement 57 présente un fond ouvert. Dans cet exemple, ce renfoncement 57 constitue une ouverture traversant la paroi arrière 54 dans toute son épaisseur.More particularly, the recess 57 has an open bottom. In this example, this recess 57 constitutes an opening through the rear wall 54 throughout its thickness.

Selon cet exemple, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0, les première et deuxième extrémités 61 et 62 du premier élément de rappel 60 viennent en appui respectivement au moins contre la deuxième surface d'appui 37 et contre la première surface d'appui 36 du deuxième organe de retenue 35 (de la pièce commune 30 dans cet exemple).According to this example, when the second retaining member 35 occupies its reference position Z0, the first and second ends 61 and 62 of the first return element 60 abut respectively at least against the second bearing surface 37 and against the first bearing surface 36 of the second retaining member 35 (of the common part 30 in this example).

Plus particulièrement, les dimensions respectives du renfoncement 31 de la pièce commune 30 et du renfoncement 57 de la pièce de guidage 50, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, sont prévues de manière à ce que, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0, les première et deuxième surfaces d'appui 36 et 37 viennent à fleur respectivement des quatrième et troisième surfaces d'appui 56 et 55. Dès lors, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0, les première et deuxième extrémités 61 et 62 du premier élément de rappel 60 viennent en appui également respectivement contre la troisième surface d'appui 55 et contre la quatrième surface d'appui 56 de la pièce de guidage 50.More particularly, the respective dimensions of the recess 31 of the common part 30 and the recess 57 of the guide piece 50, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, are provided so that, when the second member of 35 occupies its reference position Z0, the first and second bearing surfaces 36 and 37 respectively flush with the fourth and third bearing surfaces 56 and 55. Therefore, when the second retaining member 35 occupies its position of Z0 reference, the first and second ends 61 and 62 of the first return element 60 also bear respectively against the third bearing surface 55 and against the fourth bearing surface 56 of the guide piece 50.

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier aux figures 9 et 10, pour rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P, la première extrémité 61 du premier élément de rappel 60 coopère avec la deuxième surface d'appui 37 de la pièce commune 30, tandis que sa deuxième extrémité 62 coopère avec la quatrième surface d'appui 56 de la pièce de guidage 50. Dès lors, dans cet exemple, cette première extrémité 61 se trouve espacée de la troisième surface d'appui 55, tandis que cette deuxième extrémité 62 se trouve espacée de la première surface d'appui 36.According to this example, as illustrated in particular in Figures 9 and 10 in order to return the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0 when this member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 along the second direction P, the first end 61 of the first return element 60 co-operates with the second surface of support 37 of the common part 30, while its second end 62 cooperates with the fourth bearing surface 56 of the guide piece 50. Therefore, in this example, this first end 61 is spaced from the third surface of 55, while this second end 62 is spaced from the first bearing surface 36.

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier aux figures 11 et 12, pour rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, la première extrémité 61 du premier élément de rappel 60 coopère avec la troisième surface d'appui 55 de la pièce de guidage 50, tandis que sa deuxième extrémité 62 coopère avec la première surface d'appui 36 de la pièce commune 30. Dès lors, dans cet exemple, cette première extrémité 61 se trouve alors espacée de la deuxième surface d'appui 37, tandis que cette deuxième extrémité 62 se trouve espacée de la quatrième surface d'appui 56.According to this example, as illustrated in particular in Figures 11 and 12 , to return the second retaining member 35 to its reference position Z0 when this member 35 is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, the first end 61 of the first return element 60 cooperates with the third bearing surface 55 of the guide piece 50, while its second end 62 cooperates with the first bearing surface 36 of the common part 30. Therefore, in this example, this first end 61 is then spaced from the second bearing surface 37, while the second end 62 is spaced from the fourth support surface 56.

Dans cet exemple, le premier élément de rappel 60 est apte à travailler en compression pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, solliciter le déplacement de cet organe 35 vers sa position de référence Z0.In this example, the first return element 60 is able to work in compression so, when the second retaining member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, to urge the movement of this member 35 towards its position of reference Z0.

Dans cet exemple, le premier élément de rappel 60 est apte à travailler en compression pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P, solliciter le déplacement de cet organe 35 vers sa position de référence Z0.In this example, the first return element 60 is able to work in compression so, when the second retaining member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P, to urge the movement of this member 35 towards its position of reference Z0.

Selon cet exemple, les dimensions respectives du renfoncement 31 de la pièce commune 30 et du renfoncement 57 de la pièce de guidage 50, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, sont prévues de manière à ce que le deuxième organe de retenue 35 soit rappelé, lorsqu'il est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, avec une force résultante de rappel (exercée par le premier élément de rappel 60) de norme sensiblement identique à la force résultante de rappel exercée sur le deuxième organe de retenue 35 lorsque ce dernier est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P.According to this example, the respective dimensions of the recess 31 of the common part 30 and the recess 57 of the guide piece 50, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, are provided so that the second retaining member When it is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, with a resultant restoring force (exerted by the first return element 60), it is recalled that it is substantially identical to the resultant restoring force exerted on the second retaining member 35 when the latter is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P.

On pourrait toutefois prévoir, sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé, de légèrement modifier cet arrangement pour obtenir une force résultante de rappel sensiblement supérieure dans un sens (parmi, au choix, le premier sens N et le deuxième sens P) par rapport à l'autre.However, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, it would be possible to slightly modify this arrangement to obtain a substantially greater return force in one direction (among the first sense N and the second direction P) with respect to 'other.

Dans cet exemple, le premier élément de rappel 60 consiste en un ressort, en particulier un ressort à spirale, apte à se déformer selon une direction de déformation, et présentant des extrémités opposées selon cette direction de déformation qui sont aptes à matérialiser les première et deuxième extrémités 61 et 62 précédemment évoquées.In this example, the first return element 60 consists of a spring, in particular a spiral spring, able to deform in a direction of deformation, and having opposite ends in this direction of deformation which are able to materialize the first and second ends 61 and 62 previously mentioned.

Dans cet exemple, le dispositif comporte un pêne 80 apte à être monté mobile sur le vantail mobile 1 ; et une gâche associée 90 qui est formée d'un seul tenant avec la pièce de guidage 50, et qui est apte à coopérer avec le pêne 80 pour maintenir le vantail mobile 1 en position de fermeture (voir en particulier les figures 3 et 9).In this example, the device comprises a bolt 80 adapted to be mounted movably on the mobile leaf 1; and an associated striker 90 which is formed integrally with the guide piece 50, and which is adapted to cooperate with the bolt 80 to maintain the mobile leaf 1 in the closed position (see in particular the figures 3 and 9 ).

Puisque selon cet exemple cette pièce de guidage 50 est destinée à être solidaire du vantail semi-fixe 2, la coopération du pêne 80 avec sa gâche 90 permet de verrouiller les vantaux mobile 1 et semi-fixe 2 entre eux dans leurs positions respectives de fermeture.Since, according to this example, this guide piece 50 is intended to be integral with the semi-fixed leaf 2, the cooperation of the bolt 80 with its striker 90 makes it possible to lock the mobile 1 and semi-fixed leaves 2 between them in their respective closing positions. .

Selon cet exemple, le pêne 80 est apte à être solidaire d'une tringle 82 qui apte à être montée coulissante sur le vantail mobile 1 (en particulier selon une direction de déplacement parallèle à la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 ou parallèle à l'axe de pivotement du vantail mobile 1).According to this example, the bolt 80 is able to be secured to a rod 82 which can be slidably mounted on the mobile leaf 1 (in particular in a direction of displacement parallel to the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 or parallel to the pivot axis of the movable leaf 1).

Selon cet exemple, la tringle 82 est destinée à être logée dans la gorge 4 du vantail mobile 1 précédemment évoquée.According to this example, the rod 82 is intended to be housed in the groove 4 of the mobile leaf 1 previously mentioned.

La tringle 82 (mobile) est logée derrière la deuxième pièce rapportée 75 (qui joue ici le rôle d'une tringle fixe), en particulier en applique contre cette dernière. La tringle 82 est maintenue coulissante sur le vantail mobile 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une gorge que présente le pêne 80 qui est apte à coopérer avec les bords d'une ouverture 76 ménagée dans la deuxième pièce rapportée 75 (voir en particulier les figures 3 et 9).The rod 82 (mobile) is housed behind the second insert 75 (which here plays the role of a fixed rod), in particular against the latter. The rod 82 is slidably held on the mobile leaf 1 by means of a groove that has the bolt 80 which is adapted to cooperate with the edges of an opening 76 formed in the second insert 75 (see in particular the figures 3 and 9 ).

Cette tringle 82 est destinée à être sollicitée en déplacement, au moins dans le sens du désengagement du pêne 80 par rapport à sa gâche 90, par tout moyen conventionnel, en particulier par un actionneur, tel qu'une poignée (non représentée).This rod 82 is intended to be urged in displacement, at least in the direction of disengagement of the bolt 80 relative to its striker 90, by any conventional means, in particular by an actuator, such as a handle (not shown).

Selon cet exemple, le dispositif comporte d'autres moyens de rappel 100 aptes à solliciter le pêne 80 dans le sens de son engagement avec la gâche 90 (c'est-à-dire dans le sens opposé au sens du désengagement du pêne 80 par rapport à sa gâche 90).According to this example, the device comprises other return means 100 able to urge the bolt 80 in the direction of its engagement with the striker 90 (that is to say in the opposite direction to the direction of disengagement of the bolt 80 by compared to its waste 90).

Dans cet exemple, ces autres moyens de rappel 100 consistent en un élément de rappel, en particulier un ressort (notamment un ressort à spirale) apte à coopérer d'une part avec une surface d'appui que présente la tringle 82 et d'autre part avec une autre surface d'appui que présente la deuxième pièce rapportée 75.In this example, these other return means 100 consist of a return element, in particular a spring (in particular a spiral spring) adapted to cooperate on the one hand with a bearing surface that presents the rod 82 and other part with another bearing surface of the second insert 75.

Selon cet exemple, le pêne 80 et la gâche 90 sont aptes à coopérer par effet de came pour, lors d'un mouvement de fermeture du vantail mobile 1 tandis que le vantail semi-fixe 2 est en position de fermeture, provoquer un déplacement du pêne 80 dans le sens opposé au sens de son engagement.According to this example, the bolt 80 and the striker 90 are able to cooperate by a cam effect for, during a closing movement of the mobile leaf 1 while the semi-fixed leaf 2 is in the closed position, cause a displacement of the bolt 80 in the opposite direction to the direction of his engagement.

Selon cet exemple, la gâche 90 est formée d'un seul tenant avec la paroi avant 52 de la pièce de guidage 50.According to this example, the striker 90 is formed integrally with the front wall 52 of the guide piece 50.

Selon cet exemple, la gâche 90 présente au moins une première portion de rampe 92 pour faciliter la mise en oeuvre de cette coopération par effet de came.According to this example, the keeper 90 has at least a first ramp portion 92 to facilitate the implementation of this camming cooperation.

Dans cet exemple, la gâche 90 présente une deuxième portion de rampe 94 symétrique à la première selon un plan perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du pêne 80 par rapport au vantail mobile (voir en particulier la figure 2), de manière à permettre la mise en oeuvre de la coopération par effet de came quelque soit le sens d'engagement du pêne 80 avec sa gâche 90.In this example, the striker 90 has a second portion of ramp 94 symmetrical to the first in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bolt 80 relative to the mobile leaf (see in particular the figure 2 ), so as to allow the implementation of the camming cooperation regardless of the direction of engagement of the bolt 80 with its striker 90.

Dans cet exemple, la gâche 90 présente encore deux autres portions de rampe 96 et 98 qui sont respectivement symétriques aux portions de rampe 92 et 94 selon un plan parallèle à la direction de déplacement du pêne 80, de manière à pouvoir disposer la pièce de guidage 50 aussi bien à proximité d'une première des deux extrémités du vantail semi-fixe selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35 par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2 (le bord horizontal inférieur du vantail semi-fixe 2 dans cet exemple), qu'à proximité de l'autre des deux bords (qui correspond alors au bord supérieur horizontal du vantail semi-fixe 2).In this example, the striker 90 still has two other ramp portions 96 and 98 which are respectively symmetrical to the ramp portions 92 and 94 in a plane parallel to the direction of movement of the bolt 80 so as to be able to arrange the guide piece. 50 also close to a first of the two ends of the semi-fixed leaf in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35 relative to the semi-fixed leaf 2 (the lower horizontal edge of the semi-fixed leaf 2 in this example ), that near the other of the two edges (which then corresponds to the upper horizontal edge of the semi-fixed leaf 2).

En effet, bien que l'on ait représenté, dans cet exemple, un arrangement du dispositif de retenue à proximité d'une première des deux extrémités du vantail semi-fixe 2 selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, on pourrait tout aussi bien prévoir, sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé, de disposer le dispositif de retenue à proximité de l'autre de ces deux extrémités.Indeed, although it has been shown, in this example, an arrangement of the retaining device near a first of the two ends of the semi-fixed leaf 2 in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, one could just as well provide, without departing from the scope of this presentation, to have the retainer near the other of these two ends.

Par ailleurs, on a illustré, dans ce premier exemple de réalisation, des moyens de rappel du deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 qui mettent en oeuvre un unique élément de rappel, en particulier le premier élément de rappel 60 précédemment évoqué.Furthermore, in this first exemplary embodiment, there is illustrated return means of the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0 which implement a single return element, in particular the first return element 60 previously mentioned. .

On pourrait tout aussi bien prévoir, sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé, des moyens de rappel comprenant plusieurs éléments de rappel dissociés.One could just as easily predict, without departing from the scope of this presentation, recall means comprising several dissociated recall elements.

En particulier, on a illustré aux figures 13A à 13C, un dispositif de retenue selon un deuxième exemple de réalisation conforme au présent exposé.In particular, Figures 13A to 13C , a retaining device according to a second exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure.

Ce deuxième exemple est en tout point identique au premier (de sorte que la description des éléments communs aux deux exemples ne sera pas répétée dans un souci de concision du présent exposé, et porteront les mêmes références numériques dans les figures 13A à 13C), exception faite que le dispositif selon ce deuxième exemple comporte en outre un deuxième élément de rappel 65 dissocié du premier élément de rappel 60.This second example is identical in all respects to the first (so that the description of the elements common to the two examples will not be repeated for the sake of brevity of this presentation, and will have the same numerical references in the Figures 13A to 13C ), except that the device according to this second example further comprises a second return element 65 dissociated from the first return element 60.

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième élément de rappel 65 est configuré pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence 35 (voir en particulier la figure 13A).According to this example, the second return element 65 is configured so that, when the second retaining member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, the second retaining member 35 is returned to its reference position 35 (see FIG. especially the figure 13A ).

Dans cet exemple, les premier et deuxième éléments de rappel 60 et 65 sont analogues.In this example, the first and second biasing elements 60 and 65 are analogous.

Plus particulièrement, le deuxième élément de rappel 65 est apte à se déformer selon une direction de déformation.More particularly, the second return element 65 is able to deform in a direction of deformation.

Le deuxième élément de rappel 65 présente des première et deuxième extrémités 66 et 67 espacées selon cette direction de déformation.The second return element 65 has first and second ends 66 and 67 spaced along this direction of deformation.

Selon cet exemple, cette direction de déformation est destinée à être parallèle à la direction de déplacement le long de laquelle le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est apte à se déplacer par rapport au vantail semi-fixe 2.According to this example, this direction of deformation is intended to be parallel to the direction of displacement along which the second retaining member 35 is able to move relative to the semi-fixed leaf 2.

En particulier, la direction de déformation du deuxième élément de rappel 65 est destinée à être parallèle à la direction verticale.In particular, the direction of deformation of the second return element 65 is intended to be parallel to the vertical direction.

Dans cet exemple, la pièce commune 30 présente, outre le premier renfoncement 31 précédemment évoqué, un deuxième renfoncement 39 à l'intérieur duquel le deuxième élément de rappel 65 est au moins en partie apte à être logé.In this example, the common part 30 has, in addition to the first recess 31 previously mentioned, a second recess 39 inside which the second return element 65 is at least partially able to be housed.

Plus particulièrement, ce deuxième renfoncement 39 présente un fond ouvert. Dans cet exemple, le deuxième renfoncement 39 constitue une ouverture traversant la pièce commune 30 dans toute son épaisseur.More particularly, this second recess 39 has an open bottom. In this example, the second recess 39 constitutes an opening through the common part 30 throughout its thickness.

Selon cet exemple, la première surface d'appui 36 est matérialisée par une première portion de la paroi intérieure du premier renfoncement 31, qui est en particulier la plus éloignée, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, du deuxième renfoncement 39.According to this example, the first bearing surface 36 is embodied by a first portion of the inner wall of the first recess 31, which is in particular the furthest, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, the second recess 39 .

Selon cet exemple, la deuxième surface d'appui 37 est matérialisée par une première portion de la paroi intérieure du deuxième renfoncement 39, qui est en particulier la plus éloignée, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, du premier renfoncement 31.According to this example, the second bearing surface 37 is embodied by a first portion of the inner wall of the second recess 39, which is in particular the furthest, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, of the first recess 31 .

Selon cet exemple, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0 (voir en particulier la figure 13B), la deuxième extrémité 62 du premier élément de rappel 60 vient en appui contre la première surface d'appui 36 du deuxième organe de retenue 35 (de la pièce commune 30 dans cet exemple), tandis que la première extrémité 66 du deuxième élément de rappel 65 vient en appui contre la deuxième surface d'appui 37.According to this example, when the second retaining member 35 occupies its reference position Z0 (see in particular the Figure 13B ), the second end 62 of the first return element 60 abuts against the first bearing surface 36 of the second retaining member 35 (of the common part 30 in this example), while the first end 66 of the second element of recall 65 bears against the second support surface 37.

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier à la figure 13C, pour rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P, la deuxième extrémité 62 du premier élément de rappel 60 coopère avec la quatrième surface d'appui 56 de la pièce de guidage 50, tandis que la première extrémité 66 du deuxième élément de rappel 65 demeure en appui contre la deuxième surface d'appui 37.According to this example, as illustrated in particular in figure 13C in order to return the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0 when this member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 along the second direction P, the second end 62 of the first return element 60 co-operates with the fourth surface of support 56 of the guide piece 50, while the first end 66 of the second return element 65 remains in abutment against the second bearing surface 37.

Selon cet exemple, comme illustré en particulier à la figure 13A, pour rappeler le deuxième organe de retenue 35 vers sa position de référence Z0 lorsque cet organe 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, la première extrémité 66 du deuxième élément de rappel 65 coopère avec la troisième surface d'appui 55 de la pièce de guidage 50, tandis que la deuxième extrémité 62 du premier élément de rappel 60 demeure en appui contre la première surface d'appui 36.According to this example, as illustrated in particular in figure 13A in order to return the second retaining member 35 towards its reference position Z0 when this member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, the first end 66 of the second return element 65 co-operates with the third surface of support 55 of the guide piece 50, while the second end 62 of the first return element 60 remains in abutment against the first bearing surface 36.

Selon cet exemple, quelque soit la position du deuxième organe de retenue 35, la première extrémité 61 du premier élément de rappel 60 demeure toujours en appui contre une deuxième portion de la paroi intérieure du premier renfoncement 31 qui est opposée, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, à sa première portion.According to this example, whatever the position of the second retaining member 35, the first end 61 of the first return element 60 always remains in abutment against a second portion of the inner wall of the first recess 31 which is opposite, in the direction of displacement the second retaining member 35, in its first portion.

Selon cet exemple, quelque soit la position du deuxième organe de retenue 35, la deuxième extrémité 67 du deuxième élément de rappel 65 demeure toujours en appui contre une deuxième portion de la paroi intérieure du deuxième renfoncement 39 qui est opposée, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, à sa première portion.According to this example, whatever the position of the second retaining member 35, the second end 67 of the second return element 65 always remains in abutment against a second portion of the inner wall of the second recess 39 which is opposite, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, to its first portion.

Selon cet exemple, les dimensions respectives des premier et deuxième renfoncements 31 et 39 de la pièce commune 30 et du renfoncement 57 de la pièce de guidage 50, selon la direction de déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue 35, sont prévues de manière à ce que, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 occupe sa position de référence Z0, les première et deuxième surfaces d'appui 36 et 37 viennent à fleur respectivement des quatrième et troisième surfaces d'appui 56 et 55.According to this example, the respective dimensions of the first and second recesses 31 and 39 of the common part 30 and the recess 57 of the guide piece 50, in the direction of movement of the second retaining member 35, are provided in such a way that when the second retaining member 35 occupies its reference position Z0, the first and second bearing surfaces 36 and 37 respectively flush with the fourth and third bearing surfaces 56 and 55.

Dans cet exemple, le premier élément de rappel 60 est apte à travailler en compression pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P, solliciter le déplacement de cet organe 35 vers sa position de référence Z0. Ce premier élément de rappel 60 demeure en revanche sensiblement au repos lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence selon le premier sens N.In this example, the first return element 60 is able to work in compression so, when the second retaining member 35 is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P, to urge the movement of this member 35 towards its position of reference Z0. This first return element 60 remains however substantially at rest when the second retaining member 35 is spaced from its reference position in the first direction N.

Dans cet exemple, le deuxième élément de rappel 65 est apte à travailler en compression pour, lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, solliciter le déplacement de cet organe 35 vers sa position de référence Z0. Ce deuxième élément de rappel 65 demeure en revanche sensiblement au repos lorsque le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est écarté de sa position de référence selon le deuxième sens P.In this example, the second return element 65 is able to work in compression to, when the second retaining member 35 is spaced from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, to urge the displacement of this member 35 towards its position of reference Z0. This second return element 65 remains substantially at rest when the second retaining member 35 is spaced from its reference position in the second direction P.

Dans cet exemple, les premier et deuxième éléments de rappel 60 et 65 présentent des raideurs sensiblement distinctes.In this example, the first and second return elements 60 and 65 have substantially distinct stiffnesses.

Selon cet exemple, le deuxième organe de retenue 35 est rappelé, lorsqu'il est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le premier sens N, avec une force résultante de rappel (exercée par le deuxième élément de rappel 65) de norme sensiblement distincte (par exemple sensiblement supérieure) de la norme de la force résultante de rappel exercée sur le deuxième organe de retenue 35 (par le premier élément de rappel 60) lorsque ce dernier est écarté de sa position de référence Z0 selon le deuxième sens P.According to this example, the second retaining member 35 is biased, when it is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the first direction N, with a resultant return force (exerted by the second return element 65) of a substantially distinct standard. (For example substantially greater) of the standard of the resulting return force exerted on the second retaining member 35 (by the first return member 60) when the latter is moved away from its reference position Z0 in the second direction P.

Par ailleurs, bien que l'on ait illustré des premier et deuxième exemples de réalisation qui mettent en oeuvre des première et deuxième surfaces d'appui logées au moins en partie dans un ou plusieurs renfoncements du deuxième organe de retenue, on peut naturellement y déroger sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé.Furthermore, although there are illustrated first and second embodiments which implement first and second bearing surfaces housed at least in part in one or more recesses of the second retaining member, it is naturally possible to derogate therefrom without departing from the scope of this presentation.

Par exemple, on pourrait prévoir, sans sortir du cadre du présent exposé, qu'au moins une des deux surfaces, parmi ces première et deuxième surfaces d'appui, soit matérialisée par une portion du deuxième organe de commande, au moins lorsque ce dernier est destiné à être solidaire en déplacement du deuxième organe de retenue.For example, it could be provided without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, at least one of the two surfaces, among these first and second bearing surfaces, is embodied by a portion of the second control member, at least when the latter is intended to be secured in displacement of the second retaining member.
