Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif permettant aux personnes à mobilité réduite d'accéder aux établissements recevant du public dont l'entrée comporte au moins une marche. La présente invention trouve en particulier une application pour répondre aux évolutions législatives imposant aux établissements recevant du public d'être accessibles, entre autres, aux personnes à mobilité réduite, de manière autonome.The present invention relates to a device for persons with reduced mobility to access the establishments receiving the public whose entry includes at least one step. The present invention finds in particular an application to respond to legislative changes requiring institutions receiving the public to be accessible, inter alia, to persons with reduced mobility, independently.

On connaît différents dispositifs permettant à une personne à mobilité réduite d'accéder à un établissement dont l'entrée comporte plusieurs marches. Il existe par exemple un élévateur pour une personne à mobilité réduite destiné à permettre l'accès, depuis un trottoir, à un local pourvu d'une entrée, l'entrée ayant une ouverture définie entre un bord inférieur situé au niveau du trottoir et un bord supérieur situé au-dessus du trottoir, l'élévateur permettant de compenser la différence de hauteur entre le trottoir et le sol du local. L'élévateur comprend une plate-forme pour supporter la personne à mobilité réduite et un mécanisme de déplacement pour déplacer la plate-forme entre au moins une position basse située sur le trottoir et une position intermédiaire située à la verticale de la position basse et à la même hauteur que le sol du local.Various devices are known that allow a person with reduced mobility to access an establishment whose entry has several steps. For example, there is an elevator for a person with reduced mobility to allow access, from a sidewalk, to a room with an entrance, the entrance having an opening defined between a lower edge located at the sidewalk and a upper edge located above the sidewalk, the elevator to compensate for the difference in height between the sidewalk and the floor of the room. The elevator includes a platform for supporting the mobility impaired person and a movement mechanism for moving the platform between at least one lower position on the sidewalk and an intermediate position vertically from the lower position and the same height as the floor of the room.

Un tel élévateur est en particulier proposé par le document EP 0 915 778 .Such an elevator is in particular proposed by the document EP 0 915 778 .

Ce type de dispositif encombre sensiblement à la fois l'intérieur du local, lorsque l'élévateur n'est pas en fonctionnement, et le domaine public environnant l'entrée du local, lorsque l'élévateur est en fonctionnement. En outre, le déplacement de la plate-forme d'un tel élévateur est rendu possible par un mécanisme en parallélogramme, qui nécessite une grande précision de réglage, rendant ainsi l'élévateur difficilement adaptable à différentes configurations d'établissement.This type of device substantially encumbers both the interior of the room, when the elevator is not in operation, and the public domain surrounding the entrance of the room, when the elevator is in operation. In addition, the displacement of the platform of such an elevator is made possible by a parallelogram mechanism, which requires a high accuracy of adjustment, thus making the elevator difficult to adapt to different setup configurations.

Objet et résumé de l'inventionObject and summary of the invention

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les problèmes précités, parmi d'autres, en permettant à tout type d'établissement recevant du public, dont l'entrée comporte au moins une marche, d'être accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite, sans que les personnes à mobilité réduite ne requièrent une assistance, et sans que l'entrée de l'établissement ne soit entravée lorsque le dispositif facilitant l'accès n'est pas en fonctionnement.The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems, among others, by allowing any type of establishment receiving the public, whose entry includes at least one step, to be accessible to people with reduced mobility, without persons with reduced mobility do not require assistance, and without the the establishment is hampered when the device facilitating access is not in operation.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que l'élévateur selon l'invention comprend des moyens d'entraînement pour déplacer verticalement la plate-forme entre la position intermédiaire et une position haute disposée à la verticale de la position intermédiaire et à la même hauteur que le bord supérieur de l'entrée.This object is achieved by the fact that the elevator according to the invention comprises drive means for moving the platform vertically between the intermediate position and an upper position disposed vertically from the intermediate position and at the same height as the upper edge of the entrance.

Ainsi, ce dispositif est configuré pour équiper les locaux destinés à recevoir du public, dont l'entrée comporte au moins une marche, en permettant aux personnes à mobilité réduite d'accéder, de manière autonome, à l'intérieur du local depuis le trottoir et, inversement, de sortir du local pour rejoindre le trottoir, le déplacement de la plate-forme entre les positions basse et intermédiaire permettant de compenser la différence de hauteur entre le trottoir et le sol du local.Thus, this device is configured to equip premises intended to receive the public, whose entry includes at least one step, allowing persons with reduced mobility to access, autonomously, inside the premises from the sidewalk and, conversely, to leave the room to join the sidewalk, moving the platform between the low and intermediate positions to compensate for the difference in height between the sidewalk and the floor of the room.

Par ailleurs, une fois que l'élévateur a été utilisé par la personne à mobilité réduite, la plate-forme peut être déplacée vers une position haute disposée verticalement au-dessus de la position intermédiaire, au niveau ou au-dessus du bord supérieur de l'ouverture de l'entrée du local, dans laquelle elle n'entrave pas l'entrée du local, ni ne gêne l'accès au local pour les personnes valides, ni ne réduit les dimensions de l'ouverture de l'entrée du local.In addition, once the lift has been used by the mobility impaired person, the platform can be moved to an upright position vertically above the intermediate position, at or above the upper edge of the elevator. the opening of the entrance of the room, in which it does not hinder the entrance of the room, nor does it obstruct access to the room for the valid persons, nor does it reduce the dimensions of the opening of the entrance of the room. local.

En particulier, l'utilisateur peut accéder à l'intérieur du local par l'ouverture de l'entrée, en passant sous la plate-forme disposée en position haute.In particular, the user can access the interior of the room through the opening of the entrance, passing under the platform disposed in the upper position.

En outre, l'élévateur n'entrave pas de manière permanente le domaine public environnant l'entrée du local. Il peut être installé rapidement, et sans requérir de travaux conséquents, dans de nombreuses configurations différentes de local.In addition, the elevator does not permanently interfere with the public domain surrounding the entrance to the premises. It can be installed quickly, and without requiring extensive work, in many different configurations of local.

L'invention est déclinée ci-après dans une série de variantes de réalisation, qui peuvent être considérées seules ou en combinaison avec une ou plusieurs des précédentes.The invention is described below in a series of alternative embodiments, which may be considered alone or in combination with one or more of the previous ones.

Avantageusement, la plate-forme comporte au moins un bord latéral et une rampe d'accès montée pivotante sur le bord latéral, la plate-forme comportant également des premiers moyens de pivotement permettant de pivoter la rampe d'accès entre une position inclinée où elle permet de constituer une pente entre le trottoir et la plate-forme, et une position déployée dans laquelle elle forme un dispositif de sécurité permettant de sécuriser la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme.Advantageously, the platform comprises at least one lateral edge and an access ramp pivotally mounted on the lateral edge, the platform also comprising first pivoting means for pivoting the access ramp between an inclined position where it allows for a slope between the sidewalk and the platform, and a deployed position in which it forms a safety device for securing the person with reduced mobility on the platform.

De manière avantageuse, les premiers moyens de pivotement sont arrangés pour amener la rampe d'accès en position inclinée lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position basse et en position déployée lorsque la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions basse et intermédiaire.Advantageously, the first pivoting means are arranged to bring the access ramp into an inclined position when the platform is in the low position and in the extended position when the platform moves between the low and intermediate positions.

Par cette disposition, lorsque la rampe est pivotée en position inclinée, elle permet à une personne à mobilité réduite, disposée sur le trottoir, d'accéder à la plate-forme par l'intermédiaire de la rampe. Ainsi, et en dépit de la hauteur de la plate-forme qui peut constituer un obstacle, par exemple, pour un fauteuil roulant, la personne à mobilité réduite peut atteindre la plate-forme de manière autonome.By this arrangement, when the ramp is rotated in an inclined position, it allows a person with reduced mobility, arranged on the sidewalk, to access the platform via the ramp. Thus, and despite the height of the platform which can be an obstacle, for example, for a wheelchair, the person with reduced mobility can reach the platform independently.

Par hauteur de la plate-forme, on comprend la hauteur à laquelle est située la face de la plate-forme destinée à recevoir la personne à mobilité réduite, lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position basse. Ainsi, si la plate-forme repose directement sur le trottoir lorsqu'elle se trouve en position basse, la hauteur correspond à l'épaisseur de la plate-forme.By height of the platform, it is understood the height at which is located the face of the platform for receiving the person with reduced mobility, when the platform is in the low position. Thus, if the platform rests directly on the sidewalk when it is in the low position, the height corresponds to the thickness of the platform.

Par ailleurs, dans la position déployée, la rampe d'accès s'étend transversalement de manière ascendante, par exemple verticalement, depuis la plate-forme, de manière à constituer un dispositif de sécurité qui permet de maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme, lorsque celle-ci se déplace entre les positions basse et intermédiaire, afin d'éviter tout risque de chute. La possibilité pour la rampe d'accès de prendre une position déployée permet également de limiter l'encombrement du domaine public environnant le local, lors du fonctionnement de l'élévateur.Moreover, in the deployed position, the access ramp extends transversely upwardly, for example vertically, from the platform, so as to constitute a safety device that keeps the person with reduced mobility on the platform. platform, when it moves between the low and middle positions, to avoid any risk of falling. The possibility for the access ramp to take an extended position also limits the congestion of the public domain surrounding the room, during operation of the elevator.

De préférence, les premiers moyens de pivotement sont arrangés pour amener la rampe d'accès dans une position rangée dans laquelle la rampe d'accès et la plate-forme sont superposées.Preferably, the first pivoting means are arranged to bring the access ramp into a stowed position in which the access ramp and the platform are superimposed.

Par cette disposition, l'encombrement de l'ensemble constitué par la plate-forme et la rampe d'accès peut être limité, par exemple lorsque l'élévateur n'est pas utilisé pour permettre l'accès au local pour une personne à mobilité réduite. Ainsi, l'élévateur modifie de manière limitée l'apparence extérieure du local équipé et ne constitue pas un risque de blesser les personnes situées à proximité de l'entrée du local.By this arrangement, the bulk of the assembly constituted by the platform and the access ramp can be limited, for example when the elevator is not used to allow access to the premises for a person with mobility scaled down. Thus, the elevator modifies in a limited way the external appearance of the equipped room and does not pose a risk of hurting people located near the entrance of the room.

Avantageusement, la plate-forme comporte une bordure d'extrémité et une barrière montée pivotante sur la bordure d'extrémité, la plate-forme comprenant également un premier dispositif de pivotement permettant de pivoter la barrière entre une position escamotée dans laquelle la barrière et la plate-forme sont superposées, et une position érigée dans laquelle elle permet de sécuriser la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme.Advantageously, the platform comprises an end edge and a barrier pivotally mounted on the end edge, the platform also comprising a first pivoting device for pivoting the barrier between a retracted position in which the barrier and the platform are superimposed, and an erected position in which it allows to secure the person with reduced mobility on the platform.

De manière avantageuse, le premier dispositif de pivotement est arrangé pour amener la barrière en position érigée lorsque la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions basse et intermédiaire, et en position escamotée lorsque la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions intermédiaire et haute.Advantageously, the first pivoting device is arranged to bring the barrier into the erected position when the platform moves between the low and intermediate positions, and in the retracted position when the platform moves between the intermediate and high positions.

Par cette disposition, la barrière constitue un dispositif de sécurité supplémentaire qui permet de maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme lorsque celle-ci se déplace entre les positions basse et intermédiaire. On comprend donc que la personne à mobilité réduite, située sur le trottoir environnant l'entrée du local, accède à la plate-forme par l'intermédiaire de la rampe d'accès montée sur le bord latéral de la plate-forme et disposée en position inclinée, la barrière, en position érigée, permettant simultanément de maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme et de signifier que l'entrée du local est momentanément restreinte à la personne à mobilité réduite.By this arrangement, the barrier is an additional safety device that keeps the person with reduced mobility on the platform when it moves between the low and intermediate positions. It is therefore understood that the person with reduced mobility, located on the sidewalk surrounding the entrance to the room, accesses the platform via the access ramp mounted on the side edge of the platform and arranged in inclined position, the barrier, in erected position, simultaneously to maintain the person with reduced mobility on the platform and to signify that the entry of the premises is temporarily restricted to the person with reduced mobility.

La possibilité pour la barrière d'être pivotée dans la position escamotée permet de limiter l'encombrement de l'élévateur, lorsque celui-ci n'est pas utilisé par une personne à mobilité réduite, que la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions intermédiaire et haute ou que la plate-forme soit maintenue en position haute, lorsque l'élévateur n'est pas en fonctionnement, afin de ne pas modifier l'apparence extérieure du local ni de constituer un risque de blesser les personnes situées à proximité de l'entrée du local.The possibility for the barrier to be pivoted in the retracted position limits the size of the elevator, when it is not used by a person with reduced mobility, the platform moves between positions mid or high position or that the platform is kept in the up position, when the lift is not in operation, so as not to modify the external appearance of the room or to constitute a risk of injuring people in the vicinity of the entrance to the premises.

De préférence, la plate-forme comporte une bordure d'extrémité et un tablier monté pivotant sur la bordure d'extrémité, la plate-forme comprenant également un second dispositif de pivotement permettant de pivoter le tablier entre une position inclinée dans laquelle le tablier s'étend de manière ascendante depuis la bordure d'extrémité de la plate-forme, et une position d'accès dans laquelle le tablier s'étend de manière sensiblement horizontale entre l'extrémité de la plate-forme et le sol du local.Preferably, the platform comprises an end edge and an apron pivotally mounted on the end edge, the platform also comprising a second pivoting device for pivoting the deck between an inclined position in which the deck s extends upwardly from the end edge of the platform, and an access position in which the deck extends in a manner substantially horizontal between the end of the platform and the floor of the room.

Avantageusement, le second dispositif de pivotement est arrangé pour amener le tablier en position inclinée lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position basse, et en position d'accès lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position intermédiaire.Advantageously, the second pivoting device is arranged to bring the deck in an inclined position when the platform is in the low position, and in the access position when the platform is in the intermediate position.

De manière avantageuse, le second dispositif de pivotement est arrangé pour amener le tablier dans une position rentrée dans laquelle le tablier et la plate-forme sont superposés.Advantageously, the second pivoting device is arranged to bring the deck into a retracted position in which the deck and the platform are superimposed.

Par cette disposition, dans la position inclinée, le tablier recouvre les marches lorsque la plate-forme effectue la translation verticale entre les positions basse et intermédiaire ; le tablier constitue ainsi une sécurité supplémentaire pour la personne à mobilité réduite en réduisant l'espace entre le sol du local et la plate-forme.By this arrangement, in the inclined position, the deck covers the steps when the platform performs the vertical translation between the low and intermediate positions; the apron thus provides additional security for the person with reduced mobility by reducing the space between the floor of the room and the platform.

Par ailleurs, lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position intermédiaire, le tablier recouvre l'espace formé entre le sol du local et la plate-forme, et permet ainsi à la personne à mobilité réduite de se déplacer entre la plate-forme et le sol du local, pour entrer ou sortir du local.Furthermore, when the platform is in the intermediate position, the deck covers the space formed between the floor of the room and the platform, and thus allows the person with reduced mobility to move between the platform and the platform. the floor of the premises, to enter or leave the premises.

La position rentrée du tablier permet de limiter l'encombrement de l'élévateur, lorsque la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions intermédiaire et haute, ou lorsque la plate-forme est maintenue en position haute, pour ne pas modifier l'apparence extérieure du local ni constituer un risque de blesser les personnes situées à proximité de l'entrée du local.The retracted position of the deck makes it possible to limit the size of the elevator, when the platform moves between the intermediate and high positions, or when the platform is held in the up position, so as not to modify the external appearance the premises or pose a risk of injury to people near the entrance to the premises.

De préférence, lorsque le tablier se trouve en position rentrée, il est disposé sur la plate-forme.Preferably, when the deck is in the retracted position, it is arranged on the platform.

Avantageusement, l'élévateur comporte des moyens de coulissement configurés pour coulisser le tablier sous la plate-forme, ou dans un logement formé dans la plate-forme.Advantageously, the elevator comprises sliding means configured to slide the deck under the platform, or in a housing formed in the platform.

De préférence, la plate-forme comporte un premier bord latéral, un second bord latéral opposé au premier bord latéral, et une première et une seconde rampes d'accès montées pivotantes respectivement sur le premier et le second bords latéraux, la plate-forme comportant également des premiers et des seconds moyens de pivotement permettant respectivement de pivoter la première et la seconde rampes d'accès entre une position inclinée où la première et la seconde rampes d'accès permettent de constituer une première et une seconde pentes entre le trottoir et la plate-forme, et une position déployée dans laquelle la première et la seconde rampes d'accès forment un premier et un second dispositifs de sécurité permettant de sécuriser la personne à mobilité réduite sur la plate-forme.Preferably, the platform comprises a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge opposite to the first lateral edge, and first and second access ramps pivotally mounted respectively on the first and second lateral edges, the platform comprising also first and second pivoting means respectively for pivoting the first and the second ramps between an inclined position where the first and second access ramps make it possible to constitute first and second slopes between the sidewalk and the platform, and an extended position in which the first and second ramps form a first and second ramp; a second safety device for securing the person with reduced mobility on the platform.

Par cette disposition, l'élévateur présente une apparence symétrique qui permet de modifier harmonieusement l'apparence extérieure du local, lorsque l'élévateur est en fonctionnement.By this arrangement, the elevator has a symmetrical appearance that allows to harmoniously modify the external appearance of the room, when the elevator is in operation.

Par ailleurs, la présence de deux rampes d'accès, disposées en position déployée, permet de faire face à différentes situations d'encombrement du domaine public environnant l'entrée du local. Ainsi, on comprend que la personne à mobilité réduite pourra accéder à la plate-forme par l'intermédiaire de l'une ou l'autre des rampes d'accès.Moreover, the presence of two access ramps, arranged in the deployed position, makes it possible to cope with different congestion situations of the public domain surrounding the entrance to the premises. Thus, it is understood that the person with reduced mobility can access the platform via one or other of the ramps.

Enfin, on comprend que les deux bords latéraux de la plate-forme se trouvent sécurisés par la présence des deux rampes d'accès, évitant ainsi tout risque de chute de la personne à mobilité réduite, lorsque la plate-forme se déplace entre les positions basse et intermédiaire.Finally, it is understood that the two lateral edges of the platform are secured by the presence of the two access ramps, thus avoiding any risk of falling of the person with reduced mobility, when the platform moves between positions low and intermediate.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention, dans un premier arrangement, les premier et second moyens de pivotement sont arrangés pour amener respectivement les première et seconde rampes d'accès l'une vers l'autre au-dessus de la plate-forme, lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute.According to a first embodiment of the present invention, in a first arrangement, the first and second pivoting means are arranged to respectively bring the first and second access ramps towards each other above the platform. shape, when the platform is in the up position.

Par cette disposition, les rampes d'accès sont inclinées de manière ascendante, l'une vers l'autre, de manière à ce que leurs bordures opposées aux bordures par lesquelles les rampes d'accès sont liées à la plate-forme soient rapprochées l'une de l'autre, voire se rejoignent. Dans le premier arrangement de ce premier mode de réalisation, la plate-forme et les deux rampes d'accès ainsi ramenées l'une vers l'autre, lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute, sont disposées pour constituer un dispositif de protection protégeant l'entrée du local contre, par exemple, la pluie ou la neige.By this arrangement, the access ramps are inclined upwardly towards each other so that their edges opposite to the edges through which the access ramps are connected to the platform are brought closer together. one of the other, even meet. In the first arrangement of this first embodiment, the platform and the two access ramps thus brought back towards one another, when the platform is in the high position, are arranged to constitute a device for protection protecting the entrance of the premises against, for example, rain or snow.

On comprend donc que l'utilisateur qui accède à l'intérieur du local sans utiliser l'élévateur selon la présente invention, la plate-forme étant disposée en position haute, est abrité sous la plate-forme lorsqu'il est situé à proximité de l'entrée, à l'extérieur du local.It is therefore understood that the user who accesses the interior of the room without using the elevator according to the present invention, the platform being placed in a high position, is housed under the platform when it is located near the entrance, outside the room.

Toujours selon le premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention dans un deuxième arrangement, les premiers et seconds moyens de pivotement sont arrangés pour amener respectivement les première et seconde rampes d'accès en position inclinée, lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute.Still according to the first embodiment of the present invention in a second arrangement, the first and second pivoting means are arranged to respectively bring the first and second access ramps in an inclined position, when the platform is in the up position. .

Par cette disposition, les rampes d'accès s'étendent de part et d'autre de la plate-forme, à partir de chacun des bords latéraux de la plate-forme, lorsque celle-ci se trouve en position haute. Dans cette configuration, selon ce deuxième arrangement du premier mode de réalisation, la plate-forme et les deux rampes d'accès ainsi inclinées sont disposées pour constituer un dispositif de protection protégeant l'entrée du local, et s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'entrée du local.By this arrangement, the access ramps extend on either side of the platform, from each of the lateral edges of the platform, when the latter is in the upper position. In this configuration, according to this second arrangement of the first embodiment, the platform and the two access ramps thus inclined are arranged to form a protective device protecting the entrance of the room, and extending from the side and the other of the entrance to the premises.

La surface d'abri, formée par la plate-forme disposée dans la position haute et par les rampes d'accès s'étendant de part et d'autre de la plate-forme, s'étend ainsi le long du mur du local dans lequel est formée l'entrée.The shelter surface, formed by the platform disposed in the high position and by the access ramps extending on either side of the platform, thus extends along the wall of the room in which is formed the entrance.

Toujours selon le premier mode de réalisation, le mécanisme de déplacement comporte dans un troisième arrangement un système de pivotement permettant de pivoter la plate-forme entre une position horizontale et une position verticale.Still according to the first embodiment, the movement mechanism comprises in a third arrangement a pivoting system for pivoting the platform between a horizontal position and a vertical position.

De préférence, le système de pivotement est arrangé pour amener la plate-forme en position verticale lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute.Preferably, the pivoting system is arranged to bring the platform upright when the platform is in the up position.

Par cette configuration, l'encombrement du dispositif lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute est réduit, la plate-forme étant ainsi rabattue contre la paroi verticale dans laquelle est formée l'entrée du local. On pourrait également concevoir un logement formé dans la paroi verticale, de manière à ce que la plate-forme soit encastrée dans le logement lorsque la plate-forme est amenée en position verticale.By this configuration, the size of the device when the platform is in the high position is reduced, the platform thus being folded against the vertical wall in which is formed the entrance of the room. One could also design a housing formed in the vertical wall, so that the platform is embedded in the housing when the platform is brought to the vertical position.

Selon un second mode de réalisation de la présente invention, les moyens d'entraînement comprennent au moins un bras télescopique.According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the drive means comprise at least one telescopic arm.

Avantageusement, l'élévateur comprend en outre un caisson et un système de translation horizontale permettant de déplacer horizontalement la plate-forme entre la position haute et une position de rangement dans laquelle la plate-forme est contenue dans le caisson.Advantageously, the elevator further comprises a box and a horizontal translation system for horizontally moving the platform between the upper position and a storage position in which the platform is contained in the box.

De manière avantageuse, le caisson est destiné à être encastré dans l'imposte de la porte, au-dessus du bord supérieur de l'entrée.Advantageously, the box is intended to be embedded in the transom of the door, above the upper edge of the entrance.

Par cette configuration, la plate-forme peut être escamotée dans le caisson, lorsque le dispositif n'est pas en fonctionnement, et lorsque la plate-forme se trouve en position haute. Ainsi, selon ce second mode de réalisation, l'élévateur peut être dissimulé lorsqu'il n'est pas en fonctionnement, de manière à ne pas modifier l'apparence extérieure de l'entrée et, plus généralement, du local accessible par l'entrée. Ce mode de réalisation est en particulier adapté pour les bâtiments dont l'apparence extérieure ne peut être modifiée, pour des raisons, par exemple, de conservation du patrimoine.By this configuration, the platform can be retracted into the box, when the device is not in operation, and when the platform is in the up position. Thus, according to this second embodiment, the elevator can be concealed when it is not in operation, so as not to modify the external appearance of the entrance and, more generally, the room accessible by the Entrance. This embodiment is particularly suitable for buildings whose external appearance can not be modified, for reasons, for example, heritage conservation.

L'invention porte également sur un local comportant une entrée et un dispositif d'accès dans le local pour une personne à mobilité réduite, le dispositif d'accès étant constitué d'un élévateur selon la présente invention.The invention also relates to a room having an entrance and an access device in the room for a person with reduced mobility, the access device consisting of an elevator according to the present invention.

L'invention porte enfin sur un procédé de déplacement d'un élévateur pour une personne à mobilité réduite selon la présente invention, le procédé comprenant une étape au cours de laquelle la plate-forme est déplacée verticalement entre la position haute et la position basse, suivie d'une étape au cours de laquelle la rampe d'accès est amenée en position inclinée, suivie d'une étape au cours de laquelle la personne à mobilité réduite est positionnée sur la plate-forme, suivie d'une étape au cours de laquelle la rampe d'accès est amenée en position déployée, suivie d'une étape au cours de laquelle la plate-forme est déplacée entre la position basse et la position intermédiaire.Finally, the invention relates to a method of moving an elevator for a person with reduced mobility according to the present invention, the method comprising a step during which the platform is moved vertically between the high position and the low position, followed by a step in which the ramp is brought into an inclined position, followed by a step in which the person with reduced mobility is positioned on the platform, followed by a step in the course of which the access ramp is brought into the deployed position, followed by a step during which the platform is moved between the low position and the intermediate position.

De préférence, le procédé comprend également une étape au cours de laquelle la plate-forme de l'élévateur selon le premier mode de réalisation est pivotée dans la position verticale.Preferably, the method also comprises a step in which the platform of the elevator according to the first embodiment is rotated in the vertical position.

Avantageusement, le procédé comprend également une étape au cours de laquelle la plate-forme de l'élévateur selon le deuxième mode de réalisation est déplacée entre la position haute et la position de rangement dans laquelle la plate-forme est contenue dans le caisson.Advantageously, the method also comprises a step during which the platform of the elevator according to the second embodiment is moved between the high position and the storage position in which the platform is contained in the box.

Par souci de clarté, la porte permettant de fermer l'entrée E n'est pas représentée sur les différentes figures.As shown in particular on the figure 1 , the entry E is delimited by two portions of walls L, L 'and has several steps M1, M2, M3; the horizontal portion of the step M3 is the floor of the room M. For the sake of clarity, the door for closing the entrance E is not shown in the various figures.

L'entrée E du local M est accessible depuis le domaine public situé à l'extérieur du local, dans cet exemple depuis un trottoir T. Par ailleurs, l'entrée E a une ouverture définie entre un bord supérieur B1 situé au-dessus du trottoir T, et un bord inférieur B2 situé au niveau du trottoir T. Entrance E of local M is accessible from the public domain located outside the premises, in this example from a sidewalk T. Moreover, the entrance E has an opening defined between an upper edge B1 located above the sidewalk T, and a lower edge B2 located at the sidewalk T.

En d'autres termes, l'accès à l'intérieur du local M est réalisé en passant entre les bords inférieur B2 et supérieur B1 ; dans l'hypothèse où l'entrée E comporterait une porte, le bord supérieur B1 serait ainsi défini, par exemple et de manière non limitative, par l'encadrement supérieur de ladite porte.In other words, access to the interior of the room M is achieved by passing between the lower edges B2 and upper B1; in the event that the entry E comprises a door, the upper edge B1 would thus be defined, for example and without limitation, by the upper frame of said door.

L'élévateur 10 comporte en particulier une plate-forme 12 configurée pour supporter la personne à mobilité réduite F et un mécanisme de déplacement 14 configuré pour déplacer la plate-forme 12. The elevator 10 comprises in particular a platform 12 configured to support the person with reduced mobility F and a movement mechanism 14 configured to move the platform 12.

Comme on le verra plus clairement à la description des différentes figures, la plate-forme 12 de l'élévateur 10 peut prendre différentes positions :

  • tel que représenté en particulier par la figure 1 , la plate-forme 12 de l'élévateur 10 peut tout d'abord se trouver dans une position basse, dans laquelle la plate-forme 12 est située à l'extérieur du local, sur le trottoir T ;
  • tel que représenté en particulier par les figures 2A et 2B , la plate-forme 12 peut également se trouver dans une position intermédiaire située à la verticale de la position basse, à l'extérieur du local et à la même hauteur que le sol du local ;
  • tel que représenté par les figures 3 à 6 , la plate-forme peut enfin se trouver dans une position haute, également disposée à l'extérieur du local, à la verticale des positions intermédiaire et basse, et à la même hauteur que le bord supérieur B1 de l'entrée E, l'accès à l'intérieur du local M étant permis en passant sous la plate-forme 12 disposée dans la position haute.
As will be more clearly seen in the description of the various figures, the platform 12 of the elevator 10 can assume different positions:
  • as represented in particular by the figure 1 , the platform 12 of the elevator 10 may first be in a low position, in which the platform 12 is located outside the room, on the sidewalk T;
  • as represented in particular by the Figures 2A and 2B , the platform 12 can also be in an intermediate position located vertically from the low position, outside the room and at the same height as the floor of the room;
  • as represented by the Figures 3 to 6 , the platform can finally be in a high position, also disposed outside the room, vertically intermediate and low positions, and at the same height as the upper edge B1 of the entry E, the access to the interior of the room M being allowed by passing under the platform 12 arranged in the high position.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , le mécanisme de déplacement 14 comporte, par exemple et de manière non limitative, deux éléments verticaux 16, 16' montés respectivement sur les portions de mur L, L', de part et d'autre de l'entrée E. Les éléments verticaux 16, 16' comportent chacun une première 44, 44' et une seconde 46, 46' extrémités, les premières extrémités 44, 44' étant disposées à proximité du bord supérieur B1, alors que les secondes extrémités 46, 46' sont disposées à proximité du bord inférieur B2. Le mécanisme de déplacement 14 comporte en outre une traverse horizontale 18 montée au-dessus de l'entrée E, à proximité du bord supérieur B1, chaque extrémité longitudinale de la traverse horizontale 18 étant solidarisée à l'une des premières 44, 44' extrémités des éléments verticaux 46, 46'. Le mécanisme de déplacement 14 forme donc un cadre entourant l'entrée E, qui ne modifie pas les dimensions de l'entrée E, de telles modifications risquant éventuellement de compliquer l'accès au local M. As shown on the figure 1 , the displacement mechanism 14 includes, for example and without limitation, two vertical elements 16, 16 ' respectively mounted on the wall portions L, L', on either side of the entrance E. The vertical elements 16, 16 ' each comprise a first 44, 44' and a second 46, 46 ' ends, the first ends 44, 44' being disposed near the upper edge B1, while the second ends 46, 46 ' are arranged near the lower edge B2. The displacement mechanism 14 further comprises a horizontal cross member 18 mounted above the entrance E, near the upper edge B1, each longitudinal end of the horizontal cross member 18 being secured to one of the first 44, 44 ' ends of the vertical members 46, 46'. The displacement mechanism 14 thus forms a frame surrounding the entry E, which does not change the dimensions of the entry E, such modifications may possibly complicate access to the room M.

Le mécanisme de déplacement 14 comporte également des moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' libres en translation verticale respectivement dans les éléments verticaux 16, 16'. Par exemple et de manière non limitative, les éléments verticaux 16, 16' sont des glissières constituées de deux barres espacées, les moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' étant contenus dans l'espace formé entre les deux barres des éléments verticaux 16, 16'. Par exemple et de manière non limitative, la traverse horizontale 18 contient un moteur permettant de translater verticalement les moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' dans les éléments verticaux 16, 16' du mécanisme de déplacement 14. The displacement mechanism 14 also comprises drive means 20, 20 ' free in vertical translation respectively in the vertical elements 16, 16'. For example and in a nonlimiting manner, the vertical elements 16, 16 ' are slides consisting of two spaced bars, the drive means 20, 20' being contained in the space formed between the two bars of the vertical elements 16, 16 . For example and without limitation, the horizontal cross member 18 contains a motor for vertically translating the drive means 20, 20 ' in the vertical elements 16, 16' of the displacement mechanism 14.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , la plate-forme 12 présente, par exemple et de manière non limitative, une forme rectangulaire définissant un premier et un second bords latéraux 22, 22', parallèles l'un à l'autre et disposés horizontalement, dans une direction perpendiculaire par rapport au plan défini par l'entrée E du local ; la plate-forme 12 définit également une première et une seconde bordures d'extrémité 24, 26, également parallèles l'une à l'autre.As shown on the figure 1 , the platform 12 has, for example and without limitation, a rectangular shape defining a first and a second lateral edges 22, 22 ', parallel to each other and arranged horizontally, in a perpendicular direction relative to in the plane defined by the entrance E of the local; the platform 12 also defines a first and a second end edge 24, 26, also parallel to each other.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , la plate-forme 12 définit un plan P horizontal.As shown on the figure 1 , the platform 12 defines a horizontal plane P.

La plate-forme 12 comporte par ailleurs une première 28 et une seconde 28' rampes d'accès montées pivotantes respectivement sur le premier et le second bords latéraux 22, 22' ; la plate-forme 12 comprend également des premier et second 30, 30' moyens de pivotement configurés pour faire pivoter les première et seconde 28, 28' rampes d'accès autour d'un axe défini respectivement par les premier et second 22, 22' bords latéraux de la plate-forme 12, entre une position inclinée, une position déployée et une position rangée, qui seront détaillées dans la suite de la description.The platform 12 further comprises a first 28 and a second 28 ' access ramps pivotally mounted respectively on the first and second side edges 22, 22'; the platform 12 also comprises first and second 30, 30 ' pivoting means configured to pivot the first and second 28, 28' access ramps around an axis defined respectively by the first and second 22, 22 ' side edges of the platform 12, between an inclined position, an extended position and a stowed position, which will be detailed in the following description.

Par ailleurs, la plate-forme 12 comporte une barrière 32 montée pivotante sur la première bordure d'extrémité 24, et un premier dispositif de pivotement 34 configuré pour faire pivoter la barrière 32 autour d'un axe défini par la première bordure d'extrémité 24, entre une position escamotée, dans laquelle la barrière 32 et la plate-forme 12 sont superposées, et une position érigée qui sera détaillée dans la suite de la description.Furthermore, the platform 12 comprises a barrier 32 pivotally mounted on the first end edge 24, and a first device pivoting device 34 configured to pivot the barrier 32 about an axis defined by the first end edge 24, between a retracted position, in which the barrier 32 and the platform 12 are superimposed, and an erected position which will be detailed in the following description.

En outre, la plate-forme 12 comporte un tablier 36 monté pivotant sur la seconde bordure d'extrémité 26, et un second dispositif de pivotement 38 configuré pour faire pivoter le tablier 36 autour de l'axe défini par la seconde bordure d'extrémité 26 de la plate-forme 12, entre une position inclinée, une position d'accès et une position rentrée, qui seront détaillées dans la suite de la description.In addition, the platform 12 includes an apron 36 pivotally mounted on the second end edge 26, and a second pivoting device 38 configured to pivot the deck 36 about the axis defined by the second end edge. 26 of the platform 12, between an inclined position, an access position and a retracted position, which will be detailed in the following description.

Sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, on peut concevoir un élévateur 10 dont au moins l'un des premier et second 30, 30' moyens de pivotement ou au moins l'un des premier 34 et second 38 dispositifs de pivotement présente un moyen d'assistance au pivotement, tel qu'un vérin, par exemple à gaz ou électrique, le moyen d'assistance au pivotement étant configuré pour faciliter le pivotement des rampes d'accès, du tablier ou de la barrière ; on peut également concevoir la présence d'un dispositif de contrôle permettant à la personne à mobilité réduite de commander l'actionnement des premier et second 30, 30' moyens de pivotement et des premier 34 et second 38 dispositifs de pivotement.Without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is possible to design an elevator 10 of which at least one of the first and second 30, 30 ' pivoting means or at least one of the first 34 and second 38 pivoting devices has a means pivoting assistance device, such as a cylinder, for example gas or electric, the pivot assistance means being configured to facilitate the pivoting of the access ramps, the deck or the barrier; it is also conceivable the presence of a control device allowing the person with reduced mobility to control the actuation of the first and second 30, 30 ' pivoting means and the first 34 and second 38 pivoting devices.

Sur la figure 1 , la plate-forme 12 de l'élévateur 10 selon le premier mode de réalisation se trouve dans la position basse. Dans cette position, les première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28' sont disposées dans la position inclinée, de telle sorte qu'elles permettent de constituer une pente entre le trottoir T et la plate-forme 12. Par exemple et de manière non limitative, tel que représenté sur la figure 1 , la plate-forme 12 comporte des éléments d'appui 13 qui s'étendent depuis la face inférieure de la plate-forme 12. Par face inférieure, on comprend la face opposée à la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12 destinée à recevoir la personne à mobilité réduite F. Dans cet exemple, la face inférieure de la plate-forme 12 n'est donc pas en contact direct avec le trottoir T, les rampes d'accès 28, 28', dans la position inclinée, permettant ainsi de compenser la différence de hauteur entre la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12 et le trottoir T, lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position basse. On pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, une plate-forme 12 ne comportant pas d'éléments d'appui 13, sa face inférieure venant en contact direct avec le trottoir T, les rampes d'accès 28, 28' prenant alors une position horizontale, voire une position inclinée lorsque l'épaisseur de la plate-forme 12 est telle que la personne à mobilité réduite F ne peut accéder directement à la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12. Les rampes d'accès 28, 28', en position inclinée, permettent ainsi à la personne à mobilité réduite F, initialement située sur le trottoir T, de se positionner de manière autonome sur la plate-forme 12. On the figure 1 , the platform 12 of the elevator 10 according to the first embodiment is in the low position. In this position, the first and second ramps 28, 28 ' are arranged in the inclined position, so that they make it possible to form a slope between the sidewalk T and the platform 12. For example and so non-limiting, as shown on the figure 1 , the platform 12 comprises support elements 13 which extend from the lower face of the platform 12. By lower face, it comprises the face opposite to the upper face of the platform 12 intended to receive person with reduced mobility F. in this example, the underside of the platform 12 is not in direct contact with the T sidewalk ramps 28, 28 'in the inclined position, thus allowing to compensate for the difference in height between the upper face of the platform 12 and the sidewalk T, when the platform 12 is in the low position. We could also conceive, and without departing from the scope of the present invention, a platform 12 having no support elements 13, its lower face coming into direct contact with the sidewalk T, the access ramps 28, 28 'then taking a horizontal position or an inclined position when the thickness of the platform 12 is such that the person with reduced mobility F can directly access the upper surface of the platform 12. the ramps 28, 28 ', in an inclined position, thus allow the person with reduced mobility F, initially located on the sidewalk T, to position himself autonomously on the platform 12.

Par ailleurs, lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position basse, la barrière 32 est disposée dans la position érigée dans laquelle elle s'étend verticalement vers le haut depuis la première bordure d'extrémité 24. La barrière 32 constitue ainsi un dispositif de sécurité permettant de maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite F sur la plate-forme 12, tout en signifiant que l'accès au local M est momentanément restreint à la personne à mobilité réduite F. On the other hand, when the platform 12 is in the low position, the barrier 32 is disposed in the erected position in which it extends vertically upwards from the first end edge 24. The barrier 32 thus constitutes a safety device for keeping the person with reduced mobility F on the platform 12, while meaning that access to the room M is momentarily restricted to the person with reduced mobility F.

En outre, lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position basse, le tablier 36 est disposé dans la position inclinée dans laquelle le tablier 36 s'étend depuis la seconde bordure d'extrémité 26 de la plate-forme 12 de manière ascendante vers l'entrée E, de manière à recouvrir au moins partiellement les marches M1, M2, M3 de l'entrée E, de telle sorte à limiter l'espace formé entre la plate-forme 12 et le sol du local M, un tel espace constituant un danger pour la personne à mobilité réduite F positionnée sur la plate-forme 12. In addition, when the platform 12 is in the low position, the apron 36 is disposed in the inclined position in which the apron 36 extends from the second end edge 26 of the platform 12 ascendingly towards the entrance E, so as to at least partially cover the steps M1, M2, M3 of the entrance E, so as to limit the space formed between the platform 12 and the floor of the room M, such space constituting a danger for the person with reduced mobility F positioned on the platform 12.

Tel que représenté en particulier sur les figures 2A et 2B , lorsque la personne à mobilité réduite F est positionnée sur la plate-forme 12, les premier et deuxième moyens de pivotement 30, 30' amènent respectivement les première et deuxième rampes d'accès 28, 28' dans la position déployée, dans laquelle les première et deuxième rampes d'accès 28, 28' s'étendent verticalement vers le haut depuis respectivement les premier et second bords latéraux 22, 22'. Les rampes d'accès 28,28' constituent donc des dispositifs de sécurité supplémentaires permettant de maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite F sur la plate-forme 12. As shown in particular on Figures 2A and 2B When the person with reduced mobility F is positioned on the platform 12, the first and second pivoting means 30, 30 'respectively lead the first and second ramps 28, 28' in the extended position, wherein first and second ramps 28, 28 ' extend vertically upwardly from respectively the first and second side edges 22, 22'. The access ramps 28, 28 ' therefore constitute additional safety devices making it possible to keep the person with reduced mobility F on the platform 12.

Les moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' du mécanisme de déplacement 14 sont alors actionnés pour translater verticalement vers le haut la plate-forme 12 entre la position basse et la position intermédiaire.The drive means 20, 20 ' of the displacement mechanism 14 are then actuated to vertically translate the platform 12 upwards between the low position and the intermediate position.

Simultanément ou de manière décalée par rapport à la translation verticale vers le haut de la plate-forme 12, le second dispositif de pivotement 38 est actionné de manière à pivoter le tablier 36 de la position inclinée vers la position d'accès dans laquelle le tablier 36 définit un plan sensiblement horizontal confondu avec le plan horizontal P défini par la plate-forme 12, le tablier 36 venant ainsi combler l'espace formé entre la plate-forme 12 et le sol du local.Simultaneously or offset from the vertical upward translation of the platform 12, the second pivoting device 38 is actuated to pivot the deck 36 from the inclined position to the access position in which the deck 36 defines a substantially horizontal plane coincides with the horizontal plane P defined by the platform 12, the deck 36 thus filling the space formed between the platform 12 and the floor of the room.

Lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position intermédiaire, la personne à mobilité réduite F peut évoluer vers l'intérieur du local, en franchissant le tablier 36 alors disposé dans la position d'accès.When the platform 12 is in the intermediate position, the person with reduced mobility F can move into the room, crossing the deck 36 then disposed in the access position.

Tel que représenté par les figures 3 à 6 , la plate-forme 12 peut ensuite être déplacée dans la position haute de manière à permettre l'accès à l'entrée E du local aux personnes valides ; on comprend donc que la position haute est disposée verticalement au-dessus des positions basse et intermédiaire. En d'autres termes, considérée verticalement, la position intermédiaire est située entre les positions basse et haute.As represented by the Figures 3 to 6 , the platform 12 can then be moved to the upper position so as to allow access to the entry E of the premises to the valid persons; it is therefore understood that the high position is arranged vertically above the low and intermediate positions. In other words, viewed vertically, the intermediate position is between the low and high positions.

La figure 3 représente un premier arrangement de la plate-forme 12 lorsqu'elle se trouve dans la position haute. Suite à l'entrée de la personne à mobilité réduite F dans le local, les moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' sont actionnés de manière à translater verticalement la plate-forme 12 entre la position intermédiaire et la position haute.The figure 3 represents a first arrangement of the platform 12 when it is in the high position. Following the entry of the person with reduced mobility F into the room, the drive means 20, 20 ' are actuated so as to vertically translate the platform 12 between the intermediate position and the high position.

Simultanément ou de manière décalée, les premier et deuxième moyens de pivotement 30, 30' sont actionnés de manière à faire pivoter respectivement les première et deuxième rampes d'accès 28, 28' de la position déployée à la position inclinée décrite précédemment ; par ailleurs, le premier dispositif de pivotement 34 est actionné de manière à faire pivoter la barrière 32 vers la position escamotée, dans laquelle la barrière 32 est, par exemple et de manière non limitative, rabattue sur la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12 ; enfin, le second dispositif de pivotement 38 est actionné de manière à faire pivoter le tablier 36 vers la position rentrée dans laquelle le tablier 36 et la plate-forme 12 sont superposés. Par exemple et de manière non limitative, lorsque le tablier 36 se trouve dans la position rentrée, il est rabattu sur la plate-forme 12. On pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, la présence de moyens de translation horizontale disposés sur la plate-forme 12, et configurés pour déplacer horizontalement sous la face inférieure de la plate-forme 12, voire dans un logement formé dans la plate-forme 12, le tablier 36 dans la position rentrée.Simultaneously or in an offset manner, the first and second pivoting means 30, 30 ' are actuated so as to respectively pivot the first and second access ramps 28, 28' from the deployed position to the inclined position described above; Moreover, the first pivoting device 34 is operated to rotate the barrier 32 toward the retracted position, wherein the barrier 32 is, for example and without limitation, folded on the upper face of the platform 12 ; finally, the second pivoting device 38 is actuated so as to pivot the apron 36 to the retracted position in which the apron 36 and the platform 12 are superposed. For example and without limitation, when the apron 36 is in the retracted position, it is folded down on the platform 12. It would also be conceivable, and without departing from the scope of the present invention, the presence of horizontal translation means disposed on the platform 12, and configured to move horizontally under the lower face of the platform 12, or in a housing formed in the platform 12, the apron 36 in the retracted position.

Ainsi, et tel que représenté sur la figure 3 , lorsque la plate-forme 12 est disposée dans la position haute selon ce premier arrangement, l'ensemble constitué des première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28' et de la plate-forme 12 constitue une surface s'étendant depuis les portions de mur L, L', à proximité du bord supérieur B1 de l'entrée E, vers l'extérieur du local, de manière à constituer, par exemple et de manière non limitative, un abri de l'espace formé à l'extérieur de l'entrée E, tout en permettant l'accès au local M. So, and as represented on the figure 3 When the platform 12 is disposed in the upper position according to this first arrangement, the assembly consisting of the first and second ramps 28, 28 'and the platform 12 provides a surface extending from the portions wall L, L ', near the upper edge B1 of the entrance E, towards the outside of the room, so as to constitute, for example and without limitation, a shelter from the space formed outside from entrance E, while allowing access to local M.

La figure 4 représente la plate-forme 12 disposée dans la position haute, selon un deuxième arrangement.The figure 4 represents the platform 12 disposed in the high position, according to a second arrangement.

De manière similaire au premier arrangement, la plate-forme 12 est translatée verticalement vers le haut entre la position intermédiaire et la position haute. Simultanément ou de manière décalée, les premier et second moyens de pivotement 30, 30' sont actionnés de manière à faire pivoter respectivement les première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28' de la position déployée vers une position dans laquelle les bordures 29, 29' des première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28' opposées aux bordures par lesquelles les rampes d'accès 28, 28' sont solidarisées aux premier et second bords latéraux 22, 22' de la plate-forme 12, sont amenées l'une vers l'autre.Similar to the first arrangement, the platform 12 is translated vertically upwards between the intermediate position and the up position. Simultaneously or in an offset manner, the first and second pivoting means 30, 30 ' are actuated so as to respectively pivot the first and second access ramps 28, 28' from the extended position to a position in which the borders 29, 29 ' of the first and second access ramps 28, 28' opposite the edges through which the access ramps 28, 28 ' are secured to the first and second side edges 22, 22' of the platform 12, are brought one to the other.

De manière similaire au premier arrangement, la barrière 32 et le tablier 36 sont amenés respectivement en position escamotée et en position rentrée.Similarly to the first arrangement, the barrier 32 and the apron 36 are respectively brought into the retracted position and in the retracted position.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 4 , l'ensemble constitué de la plate-forme 12 et des rampes d'accès 28, 28' présente alors la forme d'un prisme droit à base triangulaire, la base étant définie par la première bordure d'extrémité 24 de la plate-forme 12 et par l'un des bords latéraux de chacune des première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28', l'ensemble s'étendant depuis le bord supérieur B1 de l'entrée E, vers l'extérieur du local, de manière à constituer, par exemple et de manière non limitative, un abri de l'espace formé à l'extérieur de l'entrée E, tout en permettant l'accès au local.As shown on the figure 4 The assembly constituted by the platform 12 and ramps 28, 28 'then has the form of a right prism with a triangular base, the base being defined by the first end edge 24 of the platform 12 and one of the lateral edges of each of the first and second access ramps 28, 28 ', the assembly extending from the upper edge B1 of the inlet E, towards the outside of the room, to constitute, for example and without limitation, a shelter of the space formed outside the entrance E, while allowing access to the room.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 5 et 6 , la plate-forme 12 de l'élévateur 10 peut être disposée selon un troisième arrangement.As shown on the figures 5 and 6 The platform 12 of the elevator 10 may be disposed according to a third arrangement.

Tel que représenté sur ces figures, et de manière similaire aux arrangements précédents, de manière simultanée ou décalée par rapport à la translation verticale vers le haut de la plate-forme 12 entre la position intermédiaire et la position haute, la barrière 32 et le tablier 36 sont disposés respectivement dans la position escamotée et rentrée. Par ailleurs, les première et seconde rampes d'accès 28, 28' sont disposées dans une position rangée dans laquelle elles sont, par exemple et de manière non limitative, rabattues sur la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12. De manière similaire à la position rangée que peut prendre le tablier 36, on pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, la présence de dispositifs de translation horizontale disposés sur la plate-forme 12, et configurés pour déplacer horizontalement sous la face inférieure de la plate-forme 12, voire dans un logement formé dans la plate-forme 12, les rampes d'accès 28, 28' dans la position rangée.As shown in these figures, and in a manner similar to the preceding arrangements, simultaneously or offset from the upward vertical translation of the platform 12 between the intermediate position and the high position, the barrier 32 and the apron 36 are respectively disposed in the retracted position and retracted. Furthermore, the first and second ramps 28, 28 ' are arranged in a stowed position in which they are, for example and without limitation, folded over the upper face of the platform 12. In a similar way to the row position that can take the deck 36, one could also conceive, and without departing from the scope of the present invention, the presence of horizontal translation devices disposed on the platform 12, and configured to move horizontally under the underside of the platform 12, or in a housing formed in the platform 12, the access ramps 28, 28 ' in the stowed position.

Le mécanisme de déplacement 14 comporte en outre un système de pivotement 40 monté par exemple dans les moyens d'entraînement 20, 20' contenus dans les éléments verticaux 16, 16', le système de pivotement 40 étant configuré de manière à permettre le pivotement de la plate-forme 12 entre la position horizontale, dans laquelle elle permet le déplacement de la personne à mobilité réduite F, et une position verticale dans laquelle la face supérieure de la plate-forme 12 est disposée, par exemple de manière non limitative, en regard du mur du local M dans lequel est formé l'entrée E. Tel que représenté en particulier sur la figure 6 , la plate-forme 12, lorsqu'elle se trouve dans la position haute, peut ainsi être rabattue dans la position verticale de manière à limiter l'encombrement de l'espace public environnant l'entrée E du local, tout en permettant l'accès au local aux personnes valides.The displacement mechanism 14 further comprises a pivoting system 40 mounted for example in the drive means 20, 20 ' contained in the vertical elements 16, 16', the pivoting system 40 being configured to allow the pivoting of the platform 12 between the horizontal position, in which it allows the movement of the person with reduced mobility F, and a vertical position in which the upper face of the platform 12 is arranged, for example without limitation, in look at the wall of the room M in which the entrance E is formed . As shown in particular on the figure 6 , the platform 12, when in the high position, can be folded in the vertical position so as to limit the size of the public space surrounding the entrance E of the room, while allowing the access to the premises for the valid persons.

On pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, un arrangement supplémentaire non représenté par les différentes figures, dans lequel l'ensemble constitué de la plate-forme 12, des rampes d'accès 28, 28' en position rangée, de la barrière 32 en position escamotée et du tablier 36 en position rentrée, serait maintenu horizontalement lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position haute , de manière à constituer un abri de la zone extérieure au local M environnant l'entrée E. One could also conceive, without departing from the scope of the present invention, an additional arrangement is not shown by the different figures, wherein the assembly constituted by the platform 12, ramps 28, 28 'in the stowed position , from barrier 32 into retracted position and apron 36 in the retracted position, would be maintained horizontally when the platform 12 is in the upper position, so as to provide a shelter from the outer area M local surrounding the entrance E.

Il apparaît en particulier de la description précédente que les pivotements des rampes d'accès 28, 28', de la barrière 32 et du tablier 36, lorsque la plate-forme 12 est translatée verticalement entre la position intermédiaire et l'un des différents arrangements de la position haute, peuvent s'enchaîner dans différents ordres, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.It appears in particular from the preceding description that the pivoting of the access ramps 28, 28 ', the barrier 32 and the deck 36, when the platform 12 is translated vertically between the intermediate position and one of the different arrangements. from the high position, can be linked in different orders, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Ainsi, lorsque la plate-forme 12 se trouve dans la position haute, l'accès à l'intérieur du local M est réalisé en passant sous la plate-forme 12 ; en d'autres termes, l'utilisateur accédant à l'intérieur du local M sans utiliser l'élévateur 10 passe dans l'ouverture formée entre la plate-forme 12 et le sol du local M. Thus, when the platform 12 is in the high position, access to the interior of the room M is achieved by passing under the platform 12; in other words, the user accessing the interior of the room M without using the elevator 10 passes into the opening formed between the platform 12 and the floor of the room M.

Dans le second mode de réalisation représenté par les figures 7 à 9 , l'élévateur 110 selon la présente invention comporte également une plate-forme 112, une première et une seconde rampes d'accès 128, 128', une barrière 132 et un tablier 136. La plate-forme 112 présente également, par exemple et de manière non limitative, une forme rectangulaire définissant un premier et un second bord latéraux 122, 122' et une première et une seconde bordures d'extrémité 124, 126. En outre, de manière similaire au premier mode de réalisation, la plate-forme 112 comporte des premier et second moyens de pivotement 130, 130', et un premier et second dispositifs de pivotement 134, 138, configurés de manière à faire pivoter respectivement les première et seconde rampes d'accès 128, 128', la barrière 132 et le tablier 136. In the second embodiment represented by the Figures 7 to 9 , the elevator 110 according to the present invention also comprises a platform 112, a first and a second ramps 128, 128 ', a barrier 132 and an apron 136. The platform 112 also has, for example and non-limitatively, a rectangular shape defining first and second side edges 122, 122 ' and first and second end edges 124, 126. In addition, similarly to the first embodiment, the platform 112 includes first and second pivoting means 130, 130 ', and first and second pivoting devices 134, 138, configured to pivot respectively the first and second access ramps 128, 128', the barrier 132, and the apron 136.

L'élévateur 110 comporte également un mécanisme de déplacement 114 constitué de moyens d'entraînement 120, 120' disposés de part et d'autre de l'entrée E du local et qui comprennent, tel que représenté sur la figure 7 , un premier et un second bras télescopiques 142, 142'. Chaque bras télescopique 142, 142' comporte une première 144, 144' et une seconde 146, 146' extrémités, les premières extrémités 144, 144' étant disposées au niveau du bord supérieur B1 de l'entrée E, alors que les secondes extrémités 146, 146' sont fixées à la plate-forme 112, par exemple et de manière non limitative, respectivement sur les premier et second bords latéraux 122, 122'. The elevator 110 also comprises a displacement mechanism 114 consisting of drive means 120, 120 ' disposed on either side of the entrance E of the room and which comprise, as shown in FIG. figure 7 , first and second telescopic arms 142, 142 '. Each telescopic arm 142, 142 ' has a first 144, 144' and a second 146, 146 ' ends, the first ends 144, 144' being disposed at the upper edge B1 of the inlet E, while the second ends 146 , 146 ' are fixed to the platform 112, for example and in a manner limiting, respectively on the first and second side edges 122, 122 '.

On pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, un élévateur 110 comportant tout autre mécanisme de déplacement 114, tel que par exemple un ensemble constitué de câbles et de poulies, permettant de translater verticalement la plate-forme 112 entre les positions basse, intermédiaire et haute.It would also be conceivable, and without departing from the scope of the present invention, an elevator 110 including any other movement mechanism 114, such as for example a set of cables and pulleys, for vertically translating the platform 112 between the low, middle and high positions.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 7 à 9 , les bras télescopiques 142, 142' sont configurés de manière à translater verticalement la plate-forme 112 entre la position basse et la position haute.As shown on the Figures 7 to 9 , the telescopic arms 142, 142 ' are configured to vertically translate the platform 112 between the low position and the up position.

La figure 7 présente en particulier l'élévateur 110 lorsque la plate-forme 112 se trouve dans la position basse.The figure 7 has the particular elevator 110 when the deck 112 is in the down position.

De manière similaire au premier mode de réalisation, les première et seconde rampes d'accès 128, 128' se trouvent alors dans la position inclinée dans laquelle elles forment une pente permettant à la personne à mobilité réduite F d'accéder depuis le trottoir T à la plate-forme 112, alors que la barrière 132 et le tablier 136 se trouvent respectivement en position érigée et inclinée.Similarly to the first embodiment, the first and second ramps 128, 128 ' are then in the inclined position in which they form a slope allowing the person with reduced mobility F to access from the sidewalk T to the platform 112, while the barrier 132 and the apron 136 are respectively erected and inclined position.

Les moyens d'entraînement 120, 120' sont ensuite actionnés de manière à translater verticalement la plate-forme 112 entre la position basse et la position intermédiaire.The drive means 120, 120 'are then actuated so as to vertically translate the platform 112 between the low position and the intermediate position.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 8 sur laquelle la plate-forme 112 se trouve dans la position intermédiaire, et de manière similaire au premier mode de réalisation, les première et seconde rampes d'accès 128, 128' sont disposées en position déployée de manière à constituer un dispositif de sécurité pour maintenir la personne à mobilité réduite F sur la plate-forme 112. As shown on the figure 8 on which the platform 112 is in the intermediate position, and similarly to the first embodiment, the first and second access ramps 128, 128 'are arranged in the deployed position so as to constitute a safety device for keep the person with reduced mobility F on the platform 112.

Par ailleurs, le second dispositif de pivotement 138 est actionné de manière à pivoter le tablier 136 dans la position d'accès, pour permettre à la personne à mobilité réduite F de passer de la plate-forme 112 au sol du local.Furthermore, the second pivoting device 138 is actuated so as to pivot the deck 136 in the access position, to allow the person with reduced mobility F to pass from the platform 112 to the floor of the room.

Une fois que la personne à mobilité réduite F a accédé au local, la plate-forme 112 de l'élévateur 110 est translatée verticalement vers le haut entre la position intermédiaire et la position haute, par actionnement des moyens d'entraînement 120, 120'. Once the person with reduced mobility F has accessed the room, the platform 112 of the elevator 110 is translated vertically upwards between the intermediate position and the high position, by actuating the drive means 120, 120 ' .

Tel que représenté en particulier sur la figure 9 , l'élévateur 110 comporte en outre un caisson 148 disposé à l'intérieur du local, au niveau du bord supérieur B1 de l'entrée E ; l'élévateur 110 comporte par ailleurs un système de translation horizontal 150 permettant de translater horizontalement la plate-forme 112 entre la position haute et une position dans laquelle la plate-forme 112 est contenue dans le caisson 148. As shown in particular on the figure 9 , the elevator 110 further comprises a box 148 disposed within the room, at the upper edge B1 of the entrance E; the elevator 110 further comprises a horizontal translation system 150 for horizontally translating the platform 112 between the high position and a position in which the platform 112 is contained in the box 148.

Par exemple et de manière non limitative, le caisson 148 est encastré dans l'imposte de l'entrée E, à l'intérieur du local, à proximité du bord supérieur B1. For example and without limitation, the box 148 is embedded in the transom of the entrance E, inside the room, near the upper edge B1.

On pourrait également concevoir un local M configuré de telle sorte que le caisson 148 puisse être simplement posé, par exemple sur le toit du local M. One could also design a local M configured so that the box 148 can be simply placed, for example on the roof of room M.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 9 , lorsque l'élévateur 110 n'est pas utilisé pour permettre l'accès à l'entrée E du local pour la personne à mobilité réduite F, l'élévateur 110 peut ainsi être rangé dans le caisson 148 de manière à ne pas modifier l'apparence extérieure de l'entrée E du local.As shown on the figure 9 When the elevator 110 is not used to allow access to the input E of the room for the person with reduced mobility F, the lift 110 can thus be stored in the casing 148 so as not to modify the external appearance of the entrance E of the room.

Il apparaît donc que, de manière simultanée ou décalée par rapport à la translation verticale vers le haut de la plate-forme 112 entre les positions intermédiaire et haute, les rampes d'accès 128, 128', la barrière 132 et le tablier 136 sont pivotés respectivement vers la position rangée, la position escamotée et la position rentrée, de manière à limiter l'encombrement de l'élévateur 110 sur l'espace public.It therefore appears that, simultaneously or offset from the upward vertical translation of the platform 112 between the intermediate and high positions, the access ramps 128, 128 ', the barrier 132 and the deck 136 are pivoted respectively to the stowed position, the retracted position and the retracted position, so as to limit the bulk of the elevator 110 on the public space.

La personne à mobilité réduite F pourra bien évidemment sortir du local M au moyen de l'élévateur 10, 110, suivant les étapes précédemment décrites à l'observation des différentes figures, l'élévateur 10, 110 devant, préalablement à la sortie du local de la personne à mobilité réduite F, être translaté verticalement vers le bas de la position haute à la position intermédiaire. On comprend également que, préalablement à cette translation verticale, la plate-forme 12, 112, devra être pivotée de la position verticale à la position horizontale, au moyen du système de pivotement 40, ou translatée horizontalement depuis la position rangée dans le caisson 148 vers la position haute , au moyen du système de translation horizontal 150, selon que l'élévateur 10, 110 est constitué du premier mode de réalisation dans le troisième arrangement ou du second mode de réalisation de la présente invention.The person with reduced mobility F will of course be able to leave the room M by means of the elevator 10, 110, according to the steps previously described with the observation of the different figures, the elevator 10, 110 in front, before leaving the room of the person with reduced mobility F, be translated vertically downwards from the high position to the intermediate position. It is also understood that, prior to this vertical translation, the platform 12, 112, must be pivoted from the vertical position to the horizontal position, by means of the pivoting system 40, or translated horizontally from the stored position in the box 148 to the high position, by means of the horizontal translation system 150, depending on whether the elevator 10, 110 is consisting of the first embodiment in the third arrangement or the second embodiment of the present invention.

Tel que cela apparait à l'observation des différentes figures, la plate-forme 12, 112 n'encombre l'espace public situé à l'extérieur de l'entrée E, et en particulier le trottoir T, que durant le temps nécessaire à la plate-forme 12, 112 pour être translatée verticalement entre les positions basse et haute.As it appears from the observation of the various figures, the platform 12, 112 encumbrates the public space located outside the entrance E , and in particular the sidewalk T, only during the time necessary to the platform 12, 112 to be translated vertically between the low and high positions.

L'élévateur 10, 110 selon la présente invention peut, par exemple, être actionné depuis l'intérieur du local ; on pourrait également concevoir, et sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, un dispositif d'actionnement disposé à l'extérieur du local M, à proximité de l'entrée E, par l'intermédiaire duquel la personne à mobilité réduite F pourrait requérir la mise en fonctionnement de l'élévateur 10, 110. The elevator 10, 110 according to the present invention may, for example, be operated from inside the room; it would also be conceivable, and without departing from the scope of the present invention, an actuating device disposed outside the room M, near the entrance E, through which the person with reduced mobility F could require operating the elevator 10, 110.

L'ensemble des descriptions ci-dessus est donné à titre d'exemple, et n'est donc pas limitatif de l'invention.All of the above descriptions are given by way of example and are not limitative of the invention.

En particulier, l'invention, bien que particulièrement adaptée aux personnes à mobilité réduite, peut tout aussi bien être utilisée pour des personnes promenant une poussette ou pour des commerçants ayant de lourdes charges à faire entrer dans le local.In particular, the invention, although particularly suitable for people with reduced mobility, can just as easily be used for people walking a stroller or for merchants with heavy loads to enter the premises.
