Description

1. Domaine de l'invention1. Field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des dispositifs destinés à la présentation et à la protection de badges ou de cartes.The field of the invention is that of devices intended for the presentation and protection of badges or cards.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un porte badge sécuritaire qui est conçu pour protéger et présenter un badge destiné à permettre l'authentification et/ou l'identification d'un utilisateur et contrôler son accès à une infrastructure, par exemple.More particularly, the invention relates to a secure badge holder which is designed to protect and present a badge for enabling the authentication and / or identification of a user and control its access to an infrastructure, for example.

2. Solutions de l'art antérieur2. Solutions of the prior art

Certains accès d'une infrastructure, telle une usine, un hôpital ou un aéroport, peuvent être sécurisés et, par conséquent, soumis à un contrôle d'authentification ou d'identification des personnes souhaitant y accéder.Some accesses of an infrastructure, such as a factory, a hospital or an airport, may be secured and, therefore, subject to an authentication check or identification of those wishing to access it.

Classiquement, le personnel de ces infrastructures porte à un endroit apparent une carte ou un badge de sécurité comprenant des informations d'identification, telles une photo, et/ou un dispositif d'authentification, tel une puce électronique de type RFID par exemple.Conventionally, the personnel of these infrastructures carries in a visible place a card or a security badge comprising identifying information, such as a photo, and / or an authentication device, such as an RFID chip, for example.

Un tel badge est délivré par l'employeur et est généralement rangé dans un porte badge que l'utilisateur porte, par exemple, autour du cou par le biais d'un cordon.Such a badge is issued by the employer and is generally stored in a badge holder that the user wears, for example, around the neck by means of a cord.

Le porte badge se présente sous la forme d'un boîtier rigide comprenant une extrémité ouverte en forme de fente par laquelle peut être introduite le badge de sécurité.The badge holder is in the form of a rigid housing comprising an open end in the form of a slot through which the security badge can be inserted.

On comprend aisément qu'un tel porte badge limite les risques de dégradation et de perte du badge de sécurité qui y est logé.It is easy to understand that such a badge holder limits the risk of degradation and loss of security badge housed therein.

Ce type de porte badge est réutilisable, en ce sens que le badge de sécurité peut être aisément retiré du porte badge et remplacé.This type of badge holder is reusable, in that the security badge can be easily removed from the badge holder and replaced.

Toutefois, ce type de porte badge n'est pas adapté pour contrôler l'accès des personnes à des zones sécurisées ou des endroits sensibles de l'infrastructure concernée.However, this type of badge holder is not adapted to control the access of people to secure areas or sensitive areas of the infrastructure concerned.

Il est en effet crucial d'empêcher l'accès de personnes non autorisées à ces zones (les pistes de décollage d'un aéroport, par exemple), et de limiter les risques qu'une personne mal intentionnée subtilise le badge pour le falsifier.It is indeed crucial to prevent unauthorized access to such areas (for example, take-off runways at an airport), and to limit the chances that a malicious person will steal the badge to falsify it.

A cette fin, il a été proposé des portes badge à fermeture inviolable qui empêchent le retrait ou la substitution du badge de sécurité logé dans le dispositif.To this end, it has been proposed tamper-proof badge doors that prevent the removal or substitution of the security badge housed in the device.

Le risque de vol et d'utilisation frauduleuse des badges de sécurité est ainsi réduit.The risk of theft and fraudulent use of security badges is thus reduced.

A ce jour, il n'existe aucun porte badge présentant deux niveaux de sécurité, à savoir un premier niveau pour lequel le badge de sécurité peut être retiré sans détériorer le porte badge, et un deuxième niveau pour lequel l'accès au badge par une personne mal intentionnée est empêché, sinon à casser le porte badge.To date, there is no badge holder having two levels of security, namely a first level for which the security badge can be removed without damaging the badge holder, and a second level for which access to the badge by a ill-intentioned person is prevented, if not to break the badge holder.

Le document FR2844628 décrit un dispositif porte-badge permettant d'ôter, de manipuler et réinsérer un badge d'identification dans son support en un tournemain.The document FR2844628 discloses a badge holder device for removing, handling and reinserting an identification badge in its holder in a jiffy.

3. Exposé de l'invention3. Presentation of the invention

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite, sont atteints à l'aide d'un porte badge sécuritaire selon la revendication 1 comprenant un boîtier de réception d'au moins un badge d'authentification et/ou d'identification, le boîtier présentant, sur un premier de ses bords, une fente permettant l'insertion et le retrait par coulissement dudit au moins un badge dans le boîtier.These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later, are achieved by means of a security badge holder according to claim 1 comprising a box for receiving at least one authentication badge and / or identification, the housing having, on a first of its edges, a slot for insertion and withdrawal by sliding of said at least one badge in the housing.

Selon l'invention, le porte badge comprend en outre une barrette de verrouillage configurée pour être introduite et solidarisée au boîtier selon deux positions distinctes de sorte à obturer la fente du boîtier, une première position dans laquelle la barrette de verrouillage est solidarisée au boîtier de façon réversible, et une deuxième position dans laquelle la barrette de verrouillage est solidarisée au boîtier de façon irréversible.According to the invention, the badge holder further comprises a locking bar configured to be inserted and secured to the housing in two different positions so as to close the slot of the housing, a first position in which the locking bar is secured to the housing of reversibly, and a second position in which the locking bar is secured to the housing irreversibly.

Ainsi, le porte badge de l'invention présente deux niveaux de sécurité, à savoir un premier niveau, dit standard, pour lequel le badge peut être retiré sans détériorer le porte badge, et un deuxième niveau, dit sécurisé, pour lequel l'accès au badge par une personne mal intentionnée est empêché, sinon à casser le porte badge.Thus, the badge holder of the invention has two levels of security, namely a first level, called standard, for which the badge can be removed without damaging the badge holder, and a second level, said secure, for which the access to the badge by an ill-intentioned person is prevented, if not to break the badge holder.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le boîtier présente un logement de réception de la barrette de verrouillage.According to one aspect of the invention, the housing has a housing for receiving the locking bar.

Ainsi, le logement de réception est configuré pour recevoir le corps de la barrette de verrouillage de façon à obturer la fente qui s'étend sur un bord du logement.Thus, the receiving housing is configured to receive the body of the locking bar so as to close the slot which extends over an edge of the housing.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, la barrette de verrouillage est apte à être introduite dans le logement selon deux sens d'insertion correspondant chacun à une desdites première et deuxième positions de ladite barrette de verrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the locking bar is adapted to be inserted into the housing in two directions of insertion each corresponding to one of said first and second positions of said locking bar.

Ainsi, selon le sens d'insertion de la barrette de verrouillage dans le boîtier, le porte badge sécuritaire peut au choix :

  • ĂŞtre fermĂ© provisoirement et ouvert de nouveau, en utilisant un outil spĂ©cifique par exemple, pour retirer la barrette de verrouillage et ainsi accĂ©der au badge ;
  • ĂŞtre fermĂ© dĂ©finitivement de sorte que le badge n'est pas accessible.
Thus, depending on the insertion direction of the locking bar in the housing, the security badge holder can choose:
  • be temporarily closed and opened again, using a specific tool for example, to remove the locking bar and thus access the badge;
  • be permanently closed so that the badge is not accessible.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, une extrémité du logement débouche sur un deuxième bord du boîtier formant une ouverture d'introduction de la barrette de verrouillage.According to one aspect of the invention, one end of the housing opens on a second edge of the housing forming an opening for insertion of the locking bar.

Ainsi, la barrette de verrouillage peut être insérée par coulissement dans le boîtier.Thus, the locking bar can be slid into the housing.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la barrette de verrouillage comprend un patin dimensionné pour coulisser dans un canal s'étendant dans le logement et débouchant au niveau de l'ouverture.According to one aspect of the invention, the locking bar comprises a pad dimensioned to slide in a channel extending into the housing and opening at the opening.

Un tel patin, lorsque la barrette de verrouillage est insérée dans le boîtier, permet d'empêcher le retrait de cette dernière selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du logement du boîtier.Such a shoe, when the locking bar is inserted into the housing, prevents the removal of the latter in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing housing.

En effet, lorsque le patin est inséré dans le canal du boîtier, le patin est en prise/contact avec les parois du canal.Indeed, when the pad is inserted into the channel of the housing, the pad is in engagement / contact with the walls of the channel.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, l'extrémité du canal opposée à l'ouverture présente un évidement de réception d'une extrémité du patin de la barrette de verrouillage.According to another aspect of the invention, the end of the channel opposite to the opening has a recess for receiving an end of the pad of the locking bar.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le patin comprend, au voisinage d'une première extrémité, une dent de verrouillage qui vient en prise de façon irréversible avec les parois de l'évidement dudit canal lorsque ladite barrette de verrouillage est dans sa deuxième position.According to another aspect of the invention, the pad comprises, in the vicinity of a first end, a locking tooth which irreversibly engages with the walls of the recess of said channel when said locking bar is in its second position. position.

Une telle dent de verrouillage permet, lorsque la barrette de verrouillage se trouve dans la deuxième position, d'empêcher tout retrait de la barrette de verrouillage par rapport au boîtier.Such locking tooth allows, when the locking bar is in the second position, to prevent any withdrawal of the locking bar relative to the housing.

En effet, dans cette position, les surfaces de l'évidement viennent en prise/contact avec la dent de verrouillage de façon à ce que la barrette de verrouillage ne puisse plus être retirée du boîtier et donc que le retrait du badge logé dans le porte badge soit rendu impossible.Indeed, in this position, the surfaces of the recess come into engagement / contact with the locking tooth so that the locking bar can not be removed from the housing and therefore the removal of the badge housed in the door badge is made impossible.

Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, la dent de verrouillage présente sur deux faces opposées une arête destinée à coopérer avec un rebord de l'évidement dans la deuxième position de la barrette de verrouillage.According to a particular aspect of the invention, the locking tooth has on two opposite faces an edge intended to cooperate with a rim of the recess in the second position of the locking bar.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le patin comprend, au voisinage d'une deuxième extrémité, un plot qui vient se loger dans l'évidement, de façon réversible, lorsque ladite barrette de verrouillage est dans sa première position.According to another aspect of the invention, the pad comprises, in the vicinity of a second end, a pad which is housed in the recess, reversibly, when said locking bar is in its first position.

Le plot est dimensionné de sorte à permettre, lorsque la barrette de verrouillage se trouve dans la première position, le retrait de la barrette de verrouillage par rapport au boîtier et donc une réouverture du boîtier pour accéder à son contenu.The stud is dimensioned so as to allow, when the locking bar is in the first position, the removal of the locking bar relative to the housing and thus reopening of the housing to access its contents.

En effet, dans cette position, aucun élément de la barrette de verrouillage, ni du canal, n'empêche le coulissement, dans le sens inverse, de la barrette de verrouillage par rapport au boîtier, et il est donc possible de rouvrir le boîtier pour retirer le badge qui y est logé et le remplacer par un autre.Indeed, in this position, no element of the locking bar or the channel prevents the sliding, in the opposite direction, of the locking bar relative to the housing, and it is therefore possible to reopen the housing to remove the badge and replace it with another one.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la barrette de verrouillage et/ou le boîtier comprennent au moins un indicateur visuel destiné à informer l'utilisateur de la position de la barrette de verrouillage par rapport au boîtier.According to one aspect of the invention, the locking bar and / or the housing comprise at least one visual indicator for informing the user of the position of the locking bar relative to the housing.

5. Description détaillée de l'invention5. Detailed description of the invention 5.1 Eléments constitutifs du porte badge5.1 Components of the badge holder

La figure 1A illustre un porte badge 100 sécuritaire selon l'invention qui est destiné à recevoir, dans cet exemple, un badge d'identification et d'authentification (non représentée sur les figures).The Figure 1A illustrates a security badge holder 100 according to the invention which is intended to receive, in this example, an identification and authentication badge (not shown in the figures).

Une photographie du porteur de la carte peut être apposée sur le badge.A photograph of the cardholder may be affixed to the badge.

Le porte badge 100 est destiné à être porté autour du cou de l'utilisateur par un cordon, ou à la ceinture, ou à un vêtement par un autre moyen.The badge holder 100 is intended to be worn around the wearer's neck by a cord, or at the waistband, or to a garment by some other means.

Le porte badge 100 est ici de forme sensiblement rectangulaire et comprend un boîtier 1 rigide présentant deux bords longitudinaux parallèles reliés par deux bords latéraux parallèles.The badge holder 100 is here of substantially rectangular shape and comprises a rigid housing 1 having two parallel longitudinal edges connected by two parallel lateral edges.

Le boîtier 1, fabriqué dans une matière plastique par exemple, comprend deux coques 11, 12 de forme sensiblement rectangulaire (figure 3A et 3C).The housing 1, made of a plastic material for example, comprises two shells 11, 12 of substantially rectangular shape ( Figure 3A and 3C ).

Ces coques 11, 12 sont solidarisées entres elles par soudage, par exemple.These shells 11, 12 are joined together by welding, for example.

Les deux coques 11, 12 sont configurées, lorsqu'elles sont assemblées en vis-à-vis, pour former un logement L de réception d'une barrette de verrouillage 2 sur un bord latéral du boîtier 1 (le bord supérieur sur la figure 1A).The two shells 11, 12 are configured, when assembled in facing relation, to form a housing L for receiving a locking bar 2 on a lateral edge of the housing 1 (the upper edge on the Figure 1A ).

Plus précisément, le logement L du boîtier 1 est ménagé entre le bord latéral 117 de la première coque 11 (figures 3A et 3D) et le bord latéral correspondant de la deuxième coque 12.More specifically, the housing L of the housing 1 is formed between the lateral edge 117 of the first shell 11 ( Figures 3A and 3D ) and the corresponding lateral edge of the second shell 12.

Comme illustré sur la figure 3D, une fente F ménagée le long de ce bord latéral du boîtier relie l'extérieur du boîtier 1 au logement L.As illustrated on the 3D figure , a slot F formed along this lateral edge of the housing connects the outside of the housing 1 to the housing L.

Le logement L débouche également sur un bord longitudinal du boîtier 1 par le biais d'une ouverture O.The housing L also opens on a longitudinal edge of the housing 1 through an opening O.

Le badge peut donc être inséré ou retiré du boîtier 1 par glissement à travers la fente F, comme illustré par la flèche de la figure 1A, avant qu'une barrette de verrouillage 2 soit insérée dans l'ouverture O pour être positionnée dans le logement L du boîtier 1 (figure 3C).The badge can therefore be inserted or removed from the casing 1 by sliding through the slot F, as illustrated by the arrow of the Figure 1A before a locking bar 2 is inserted into the opening O to be positioned in the housing L of the housing 1 ( figure 3C ).

Une fois la barrette de verrouillage 2 positionnée dans le logement L, la fente F est obturée ce qui empêche le retrait du badge.Once the locking bar 2 positioned in the housing L, the slot F is closed which prevents the removal of the badge.

Comme illustré sur les figures 1A et 3C, une portion de la barrette de verrouillage 2 recouvre le bord latéral du boîtier 1, l'autre portion de la barrette de verrouillage 2 étant disposée dans le logement L situé entre les coques 11, 12.As illustrated on Figures 1A and 3C , a portion of the locking bar 2 covers the lateral edge of the housing 1, the other portion of the locking bar 2 being disposed in the housing L located between the shells 11, 12.

Comme illustré sur la figure 3A, la première coque 11 présente une rainure 111 qui s'étend parallèlement au bord latéral 117 de la coque 11.As illustrated on the figure 3A , the first shell 11 has a groove 111 which extends parallel to the lateral edge 117 of the shell 11.

La rainure 111 débouche, à une extrémité, au niveau d'un bord longitudinal 118 de la coque 11.The groove 111 opens at one end at a longitudinal edge 118 of the shell 11.

L'autre extrémité de la rainure 111 ne débouche pas au niveau de l'autre bord longitudinal 119 de la coque 11, mais présente à proximité de ce dernier une rampe, ou surface inclinée, 112 puis un creux 113.The other end of the groove 111 does not open at the other longitudinal edge 119 of the shell 11, but has near the latter a ramp, or inclined surface, 112 and a hollow 113.

La première coque 11 présente en outre une butée 116 qui s'étend dans le prolongement du bord longitudinal 119 et fait saillie par rapport au bord latéral 117 supérieur du boîtier 1.The first shell 11 further has a stop 116 which extends in the extension of the longitudinal edge 119 and projects relative to the upper side edge 117 of the housing 1.

La deuxième coque 12 est identique à la première coque 11.The second shell 12 is identical to the first shell 11.

Ainsi, et comme illustré sur la figure 1B, lorsque les première 11 et deuxième 12 coques sont assemblées l'une à l'autre, un canal 14 est formé dans le logement L par la rainure 111 de la première coque 11 et la rainure correspondante de la deuxième coque 12.So, and as illustrated on the Figure 1B when the first 11 and second 12 shells are joined to each other, a channel 14 is formed in the housing L by the groove 111 of the first shell 11 and the corresponding groove of the second shell 12.

Le canal 14 présente une portion 141 rectiligne qui débouche sur un bord longitudinal du boîtier au niveau de l'ouverture O, la portion 141 rectiligne étant prolongée par une portion rétrécie 142 (formée par les rampes 112 des coques 11, 12), cette dernière débouchant dans un évidement 15 (formé par les creux 113 des coques 11, 12).The channel 14 has a rectilinear portion 141 which opens on a longitudinal edge of the housing at the opening O, the rectilinear portion 141 being extended by a narrowed portion 142 (formed by the ramps 112 of the shells 11, 12), the latter opening into a recess 15 (formed by the recesses 113 of the shells 11, 12).

En outre, lorsque les première 11 et deuxième 12 coques sont assemblées l'une à l'autre, un butoir 16 est formé sur le bord latéral supérieur du boîtier 1 (figure 3D).In addition, when the first 11 and second 12 shells are assembled to one another, a stopper 16 is formed on the upper lateral edge of the casing 1 ( 3D figure ).

Un exemple de barrette de verrouillage 2 est illustré sur les figures 2A à 2D, sa section étant visible sur la figure 2D.An example of a locking bar 2 is illustrated on the Figures 2A to 2D , its section being visible on the 2D figure .

En partie supérieure, un capot 21 recouvre le bord latéral 117 du boîtier 1 lorsque la barrette de verrouillage 2 est solidarisée au boîtier 1. Le capot 21 présente donc des dimensions et une forme correspondantes au bord latéral du boîtier 1.In the upper part, a cover 21 covers the lateral edge 117 of the housing 1 when the locking bar 2 is secured to the housing 1. The cover 21 thus has dimensions and a shape corresponding to the lateral edge of the housing 1.

Sous le capot 21, un corps 22 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 s'étend perpendiculairement au plan du capot 21. Le corps 22 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 est destiné à venir se loger dans le logement L du boîtier 1.Under the cover 21, a body 22 of the locking bar 2 extends perpendicular to the plane of the cover 21. The body 22 of the locking bar 2 is intended to be housed in the housing L of the housing 1.

Le corps 22 s'étend selon l'axe longitudinal du capot 21 depuis une extrémité 210A du capot 21 jusqu'à l'autre extrémité 210B du capot 21.The body 22 extends along the longitudinal axis of the cover 21 from one end 210A of the cover 21 to the other end 210B of the cover 21.

Le corps 22 est prolongé par un patin 221 qui est destiné à coopérer avec le canal 14 du boîtier 1.The body 22 is extended by a shoe 221 which is intended to cooperate with the channel 14 of the casing 1.

Ce patin 221 fait saillie de part et d'autre des surfaces latérales du corps 22 et s'étend perpendiculairement au plan du corps 22. Le patin 221 est sensiblement centré par rapport au capot 21 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 et présente, à chacune de ses extrémités, une portion chanfreinée ou inclinée 222.This pad 221 protrudes on both sides of the lateral surfaces of the body 22 and extends perpendicular to the plane of the body 22. The pad 221 is substantially centered with respect to the cover 21 of the locking bar 2 and has, at each at its ends, a chamfered or inclined portion 222.

Les surfaces de cette portion inclinée 222 présentent ici une inclinaison prédéterminée par rapport au plan du patin 221.The surfaces of this inclined portion 222 here have a predetermined inclination with respect to the plane of the pad 221.

Cette valeur d'inclinaison correspond au degré d'inclinaison de la rampe 112 de la rainure 111 de la première coque 11 (il en est de même avec la rampe correspondante de la rainure de la deuxième coque 12).This inclination value corresponds to the degree of inclination of the ramp 112 of the groove 111 of the first shell 11 (it is the same with the corresponding ramp of the groove of the second shell 12).

L'extrémité de la portion inclinée 222 située au voisinage de l'extrémité 210B du capot 21 présente une dent 223 de verrouillage qui fait saillie de part et d'autre du corps 22.The end of the inclined portion 222 located near the end 210B of the cover 21 has a locking tooth 223 which protrudes from both sides of the body 22.

La dent de verrouillage 223 présente une forme parallélépipédique et en particulier deux arêtes A verticales (selon l'orientation de la figure 2B) d'un angle de 90° situées de part et d'autre du patin 221.The locking tooth 223 has a parallelepipedal shape and in particular two vertical edges A (depending on the orientation of the Figure 2B ) at an angle of 90 ° located on either side of the pad 221.

Comme illustré sur la figure 2C, l'épaisseur e1 du patin 221 et de la dent 223 de verrouillage est sensiblement identique. Cette épaisseur e1 est en outre supérieure à l'épaisseur e2 du corps 22 de la barrette de verrouillage 2.As illustrated on the Figure 2C , the thickness e1 of the shoe 221 and the locking tooth 223 is substantially identical. This thickness e1 is further greater than the thickness e2 of the body 22 of the locking bar 2.

L'autre extrémité du patin 221, située au voisinage de l'extrémité 210A du capot 21, présente un plot 225 qui fait aussi saillie de part et d'autre du corps 22, et qui se situe dans le prolongement d'une portion inclinée 222.The other end of the shoe 221, located in the vicinity of the end 210A of the cap 21, has a stud 225 which also protrudes on either side of the body 22, and which is in the extension of an inclined portion 222.

Le plot 225 présente de part et d'autre une surface rectiligne 226a, qui s'étend dans le même plan que le patin 221, et qui est prolongée par une portion inclinée 226b qui est reliée à la portion inclinée 222 par une portion rectiligne 227.The stud 225 has on both sides a rectilinear surface 226a, which extends in the same plane as the shoe 221, and which is extended by an inclined portion 226b which is connected to the inclined portion 222 by a straight portion 227 .

Le plot 225 présente une épaisseur identique à l'épaisseur e1 du patin 221 et de la dent de verrouillage 223.The stud 225 has a thickness identical to the thickness e1 of the shoe 221 and the locking tooth 223.

Ainsi, le patin 221 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 présente plusieurs portions juxtaposées dans la direction longitudinale de la barrette de verrouillage 2 (en partant de la gauche sur la figure 2C), à savoir :

  • une portion rectiligne 226a du plot 225 d'Ă©paisseur e1,
  • une portion inclinĂ©e 226b du plot 225,
  • une portion rectiligne 227 d'Ă©paisseur e2,
  • une portion inclinĂ©e 222,
  • une deuxième portion rectiligne centrale d'Ă©paisseur e1,
  • une portion inclinĂ©e 222, et
  • une dent 223 de verrouillage d'Ă©paisseur e1.
Thus, the shoe 221 of the locking bar 2 has several portions juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction of the locking bar 2 (starting from the left on the Figure 2C ), to know :
  • a rectilinear portion 226a of the pad 225 of thickness e1,
  • an inclined portion 226b of the stud 225,
  • a rectilinear portion 227 of thickness e2,
  • an inclined portion 222,
  • a second central rectilinear portion of thickness e1,
  • an inclined portion 222, and
  • a tooth 223 locking thickness e1.

5.2 Fermeture du porte badge5.2 Closing the badge holder

Conformément à l'invention, le porte badge 100 présente deux niveaux de sécurité, à savoir un premier niveau, dit standard, pour lequel le badge peut être retiré sans détériorer le porte badge 100, et un deuxième niveau, dit sécurisé, pour lequel l'accès au badge par une personne mal intentionnée est empêché, sinon à casser le porte badge 100.According to the invention, the badge holder 100 has two levels of security, namely a first level, said standard, for which the badge can be removed without damaging the badge holder 100, and a second level, said secure, for which access to the badge by an ill-intentioned person is prevented, if not to break the badge holder 100.

Plus précisément, selon le sens d'insertion de la barrette de verrouillage 2 dans le canal 14 du boîtier 1, le porte badge 100 peut au choix :

  • ĂŞtre fermĂ© provisoirement et ouvert de nouveau en utilisant un outil spĂ©cifique, par exemple, pour retirer la barrette de verrouillage 2 et ainsi accĂ©der au badge ;
  • ĂŞtre fermĂ© dĂ©finitivement de sorte que le badge n'est pas accessible, sauf Ă  casser le porte badge 100.
More precisely, according to the insertion direction of the locking bar 2 in the channel 14 of the casing 1, the badge holder 100 can, as desired:
  • be temporarily closed and opened again using a tool specific, for example, to remove the locking bar 2 and thus access the badge;
  • be permanently closed so that the badge is not accessible, except to break the badge holder 100.

Pour que le porte badge 100 soit fermé de façon réversible, il est nécessaire d'insérer par coulissement la barrette de verrouillage 2 dans le logement L du boîtier 1 en introduisant en premier dans l'ouverture O le côté de la barrette de verrouillage 2 présentant le plot 225, c'est-à-dire le côté opposé à la dent 223 de verrouillage.In order for the badge holder 100 to be reversibly closed, it is necessary to slidably insert the locking bar 2 into the housing L of the housing 1 by first introducing into the opening O the side of the locking bar 2 presenting the pad 225, that is to say the opposite side to the locking tooth 223.

Le patin 221 est déplacé en coulissement dans le logement L, et en particulier dans le canal 14, jusqu'à ce que le plot 225 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 vienne en butée dans l'évidement 15 du canal 14 (figure 1C).The shoe 221 is slidably displaced in the housing L, and in particular in the channel 14, until the stud 225 of the locking bar 2 comes into abutment with the recess 15 of the channel 14 ( figure 1C ).

Dans cette première position, la portion inclinée 226b du plot 225 est également logée dans l'évidement 15.In this first position, the inclined portion 226b of the stud 225 is also housed in the recess 15.

La barrette de verrouillage 2 est alors dans sa première position, permettant son retrait et une réouverture du boîtier 1 pour accéder à son contenu.The locking bar 2 is then in its first position, allowing its removal and reopening of the housing 1 to access its contents.

En effet, dans cette première position, bien que le plot 225 soit en contact avec les parois de l'évidement 15, aucun élément de la barrette de verrouillage 2, de l'évidement 15 ou du canal 14, n'empêche le coulissement, dans le sens inverse, de la barrette de verrouillage 2 par rapport au boîtier 1.Indeed, in this first position, although the stud 225 is in contact with the walls of the recess 15, no element of the locking bar 2, the recess 15 or the channel 14, prevents the sliding, in the opposite direction, of the locking bar 2 with respect to the housing 1.

En appliquant une force de retrait prédéterminée sur la barrette de verrouillage 2 à l'aide d'un outil spécifique, il est possible de la retirer du canal 14, les rebords R de l'évidement n'empêchant pas le coulissement de la portion inclinée 226b.By applying a predetermined withdrawal force on the locking bar 2 with the aid of a specific tool, it is possible to remove it from the channel 14, the rims R of the recess not preventing the sliding of the inclined portion. 226b.

Ainsi, il est possible d'ouvrir le boîtier 1 pour retirer le badge qui y est logé et le remplacer par un autre, par exemple.Thus, it is possible to open the housing 1 to remove the badge that is housed therein and replace it with another, for example.

Pour que le porte badge 100 soit fermé de façon irréversible, la barrette de verrouillage 2 doit être insérée dans le logement L, et en particulier dans le canal 14, du boîtier 1 dans le sens contraire, c'est-à-dire en introduisant d'abord dans l'ouverture O le côté de la barrette de verrouillage 2 portant la dent 223 de verrouillage.In order for the badge holder 100 to be irreversibly closed, the locking bar 2 must be inserted in the housing L, and in particular in the channel 14, of the housing 1 in the opposite direction, that is to say by introducing first in the opening O the side of the locking bar 2 carrying the locking tooth 223.

Le patin 221 est déplacé en coulissement dans le canal 14 jusqu'à ce que la dent 223 de verrouillage de la barrette de verrouillage 2 vienne coopérer avec l'évidement 15 du boîtier 1 (figure 1D).The pad 221 is slidably displaced in the channel 14 until the locking tooth 223 of the locking bar 2 comes into engagement with the recess 15 of the casing 1 ( figure 1D ).

La barrette de verrouillage 2 est alors dans sa deuxième position, le porte badge 100 étant alors définitivement fermé.The locking bar 2 is then in its second position, the badge holder 100 then being permanently closed.

En effet, dans cette deuxième position, les rebords R de l'évidement 15 viennent en prise ou contact avec la dent 223 de verrouillage, et plus précisément avec les arêtes A vives de la dent 223 de verrouillage, de manière à empêcher tout déplacement de la barrette de verrouillage 2.Indeed, in this second position, the rims R of the recess 15 engage or contact the locking tooth 223, and more precisely with the sharp edges of the locking tooth 223, so as to prevent any movement of the locking bar 2.

Dès lors, la barrette de verrouillage 2 ne peut plus être retirée du boîtier 1 et le retrait du badge logé dans le porte badge 100 est rendu impossible sinon à casser le porte badge 100.Therefore, the locking bar 2 can no longer be removed from the housing 1 and the removal of the badge housed in the badge holder 100 is made impossible if not to break the badge holder 100.

On note, par ailleurs, que dans les première et deuxième positions de la barrette de verrouillage 2, le retrait de cette dernière selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du logement L du boîtier 1 est empêché, sauf à casser le boîtier 1.It should be noted, moreover, that in the first and second positions of the locking bar 2, the withdrawal of the latter in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing L of the casing 1 is prevented, except to break the casing 1.

En effet, lorsque le patin 221 est inséré dans le canal 14 du boîtier 1, le patin 221 est en prise/contact avec les rainures 111 des coques 11 et 12.Indeed, when the pad 221 is inserted into the channel 14 of the housing 1, the pad 221 is engaged / in contact with the grooves 111 of the shells 11 and 12.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier illustré sur la figure 3B, qui est une vue de détail de la figure 3A, la coque 11 présente, au voisinage de la rainure 111, un ou plusieurs éléments de blocage 115 faisant saillie par rapport à la surface intérieure de la coque 11.In a particular embodiment illustrated on the figure 3B which is a detail view of the figure 3A , the shell 11 has, in the vicinity of the groove 111, one or more locking elements 115 projecting from the inner surface of the shell 11.

Ces éléments de blocage 115 présentent, dans cet exemple, une forme en demi-cercle et permettent, en complément du canal 14, d'empêcher le retrait vertical de la barrette de verrouillage 2 du boîtier 1.These blocking elements 115 have, in this example, a semicircular shape and, in addition to the channel 14, make it possible to prevent the vertical withdrawal of the locking bar 2 from the casing 1.

En effet, les éléments de blocage 115 viennent en prise avec le patin 221 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 lorsque celui-ci est logé dans le canal 14.Indeed, the locking elements 115 engage with the pad 221 of the locking bar 2 when it is housed in the channel 14.

5.3 Autres aspects et variantes5.3 Other aspects and variants

Chacune des coques 11, 12 du boîtier 1 présente une lumière oblongue 114, 124 (visible sur les figures 3A et 3C), les lumières 114, 124 étant situées en vis-à-vis lorsque les coques sont assemblées.Each of the shells 11, 12 of the housing 1 has an oblong slot 114, 124 (visible on the Figures 3A and 3C ), the lights 114, 124 being located vis-a-vis when the shells are assembled.

Une lumière 23 de forme correspondante aux lumières 114, 124 est ménagée dans la barrette de verrouillage 2.A light 23 of corresponding shape to the lights 114, 124 is formed in the locking bar 2.

Une fois la barrette de verrouillage 2 introduite, ces lumières 114, 124 et 23 permettent le passage de moyens d'accrochage (non illustrés) du porte badge, tels un cordon ou un anneau de porte-clés, par exemple.Once the locking bar 2 is inserted, these lights 114, 124 and 23 allow the passage of hooking means (not shown) of the badge holder, such as a cord or a ring key ring, for example.

Le corps 22 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 comprend en outre, de part et d'autre de la lumière 23, deux ouvertures 24.The body 22 of the locking bar 2 further comprises, on either side of the slot 23, two openings 24.

Dans une variante, les ouvertures 24 sont obturées par une faible cloison, ou toile, en matière plastique.Alternatively, the openings 24 are closed by a small partition, or canvas, plastic.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1A à 3D, le boîtier 1 comprend, sur un bord longitudinal 118, une patte 120 de préhension présentant une lumière permettant également le passage de moyens d'accrochage (non illustrés) du porte badge, tels un cordon ou un anneau de porte-clés, par exemple.In the embodiment illustrated on the Figures 1A to 3D , the housing 1 comprises, on a longitudinal edge 118, a gripping lug 120 having a light also permitting the passage of hooking means (not shown) of the badge holder, such as a cord or a key ring ring, for example .

La barrette de verrouillage 2 et/ou le boitier 1 présente(nt), en outre, un ou plusieurs indicateurs visuels permettant d'indiquer à la personne qui délivre le porte badge 100 à un utilisateur le sens d'insertion de la barrette de verrouillage 2 dans le boîtier 1.The locking bar 2 and / or the casing 1 has, in addition, one or more visual indicators for indicating to the person who delivers the badge holder 100 to a user the direction of insertion of the locking bar. 2 in the housing 1.

Ainsi, la personne délivrant le porte badge 100 peut aisément savoir s'il va fermer le porte badge 100 de façon réversible ou irréversible.Thus, the person delivering the badge holder 100 can easily know if it will close the badge holder 100 reversibly or irreversibly.

De préférence, cet indicateur visuel est également visible une fois le porte badge 100 fermé par la barrette de verrouillage 2, quel que soit le sens d'introduction de cette dernière.Preferably, this visual indicator is also visible once the badge holder 100 closed by the locking bar 2, whatever the direction of insertion of the latter.

Ce ou ces indicateurs visuels se présentent sous la forme d'un pictogramme (un cadenas ouvert et un cadenas fermé) ou d'un élément de couleur (une pastille rouge et une pastille verte), par exemple.This or these visual indicators are in the form of a pictogram (an open lock and a closed padlock) or a colored element (a red pellet and a green pellet), for example.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 3C, le capot 21 de la barrette de verrouillage 2 présente, au voisinage de l'extrémité portant la dent 223 de verrouillage, un pictogramme 17a en forme de cadenas fermé (indiquant un verrouillage irréversible). Un pictogramme 17b correspondant est également disposé sur le boîtier 1.In the example shown on the figure 3C , the cover 21 of the locking bar 2 has, in the vicinity of the end bearing the locking tooth 223, a pictogram 17a in the form of closed padlock (indicating irreversible locking). A corresponding pictogram 17b is also disposed on the housing 1.

Ainsi, la personne qui délivre le porte badge 100 peut aisément identifier dans quel sens la barrette de verrouillage 2 doit être insérée selon le niveau de sécurité souhaité.Thus, the person who delivers the badge holder 100 can easily identify in which direction the locking bar 2 must be inserted according to the desired level of security.

Le boîtier 1 et la barrette de verrouillage 2 peuvent être fabriqués dans d'autres matériaux que du plastique.The housing 1 and the locking bar 2 may be made of other materials than plastic.

L'assemblage des coques 11, 12 du boîtier 1 peut être réalisé par une technique autre que le soudage. Par exemple, la solidarisation des coques 11, 12 peut être réalisée par clipsage.The assembly of the shells 11, 12 of the casing 1 can be achieved by a technique other than welding. For example, the fastening of the shells 11, 12 can be made by clipping.

Le porte badge conforme à l'invention est adapté pour recevoir un ou plusieurs badges et/ou cartes, tels des cartes à puce, des cartes magnétiques ou autres.The badge holder according to the invention is adapted to receive one or more badges and / or cards, such as smart cards, magnetic cards or others.
