Definitions
- One aspect of the invention relates to a kit for mounting a sliding system.
- This assembly kit can be used, for example, in the production of a partition with a sliding door that can be housed in an interior space of the partition.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a sliding system.
- a partition with a sliding door can include an interior space in which the sliding door is housed when the door is open.
- the partition then has a passage which can be closed by taking the door out of the interior space and by sliding the door until the passage is completely closed.
- a handling solution is to ensure that part of the door remains outside the interior space when the door is fully open. Thus, a user can easily grasp this part of the door which remains outside and slide the door to close the passage. A handle present on the part that remains outside can further facilitate the handling of the door.
- this handling solution has a disadvantage: the part of the door which remains outside reduces the width of the passage.
- Another handling solution consists in providing a recessed handle, commonly called a "finger pull", on one edge of the door which remains accessible when the door is fully retracted into the interior space. Thus, a user can grasp the door laterally by means of this finger puller and exert traction to slide the door out of the interior space.
- This handling solution allows a larger passage width than the solution described before.
- providing the edge in question of the door with a finger pull presents an additional cost which can be significant. The presence of a finger pull can also be perceived as unsightly.
- a preferred handling solution consists of providing a "push-and-go" type ejection device in the interior space of the partition where the door can come to stay.
- a user can actuate this ejection device by exerting manual pressure on the edge of the door which remains accessible when the door is fully retracted into the interior space.
- the ejection device then ejects, at least partially, the door from the interior space, which allows the user to grasp the door and slide it to close the passage.
- patent publication WO2018185311 describes a moving device, in particular for a drawer, a sliding door, a hinged door, a flap or a similar movable piece of furniture, with an ejection device.
- the ejector device has a guide element on which an energy store acts and which is guided in or on a mounting part, in particular a housing.
- the guide element can be moved from a parking position to an ejection position by means of the energy storage device.
- a switching piece is connected to the guide element and adjustable relative to the guide element.
- the switching part has a guide element which is guided in a guide track of the mounting part.
- Another aspect of the invention as defined in claim 13 provides, in a sliding system made from an assembly kit as defined in the foregoing, comprising a door capable of sliding in the sliding rail, the module of locking and ejection being disposed in the sliding rail.
- the locking and ejection module can be relatively compact, more compact compared to other modules which have been proposed for systems based on sliding rails.
- This compactness is obtained in particular thanks to the fact that the circuit of grooves is located in its sliding part while the pivoting arm is rotatably fixed to the support.
- a slot circuit is in a fixed support and a pivot arm is rotatably attached to a sliding portion relative to the fixed support.
- the locking and ejection module Since the locking and ejection module is compact, it can be easily inserted into the sliding rail and then easily positioned so as to obtain an aesthetic result. In the case of a partition with a door sliding, the aesthetic result is obtained when in the open position the sliding door does not protrude from the partition, but is flush.
- the locking and ejection module can be compatible with existing sliding systems comprising a damping device in a carriage which slides in the sliding track. There is therefore no need to redesign these existing systems to add a “push and drop” function. The invention therefore makes it possible to install sliding systems integrating a “push-release” function in a simple, economical and aesthetic manner.
- FIG 1 presents a schematic front view of the partition 100.
- the figure 2 presents a schematic sectional view of the partition 100 along a section line AA indicated in figure 1 .
- the partition 100 extends horizontally between two walls 103, 104, one of which 104 is on the side of the passage 102.
- the partition 100 can extend vertically between a floor and a ceiling.
- the partition 100 comprises two walls 105, 106 spaced apart, thus leaving an interior space 107 in which the sliding door 101 can be housed. Any one of the two walls 105, 106 can be formed by one or more panels fixed to a frame of the partition 100.
- the two walls 105, 106 each comprise a vertical edge 108, 109 delimiting the passage 102. In the retracted position, a front edge 110 of the sliding door 101 is flush with the vertical edges 108, 109 of the two walls 105, 106 delimiting the passage 102. This arrangement gives an aesthetic appearance to the partition 100.
- the partition 100 comprises a locking and ejection module 111 very schematically indicated in picture 2 .
- This module will be referred to as push-release module 111 in the following for convenience.
- the push-to-release module 111 is in an armed state when the sliding door 101 is in the retracted position as illustrated in figures 1 and 2 . In this state, the push-release module 111 maintains the sliding door 101 in the retracted position, thus leaving the passage 102 free.
- a user can bring the push-release module 111 out of the armed state by exerting a push on the front edge 110 of the sliding door 101.
- the push-to-release module 111 ejects partially the sliding door 101 of the interior space 107 in the partition 100.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 schematically illustrate the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in the ejected position.
- picture 3 presents a schematic front view of the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in this position.
- figure 4 presents a schematic sectional view of the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in this position along a section line AA indicated in picture 3 .
- the ejected position of the sliding door 101 results from a thrust exerted on its front edge 110 as described above. The user in question can then grasp the sliding door 101 and slide it to completely close the passage 102.
- FIG. 5 schematically illustrate the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in the extracted position closing the passage 102.
- the figure 5 presents a schematic front view of the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in this closed position.
- FIG 6 presents a schematic sectional view of the partition 100 with the sliding door 101 in the closed position along a section line AA indicated in the figure.
- the closed position illustrated in figures 5 and 6 can therefore be obtained by sliding the sliding door 101 in the direction of the wall 104 on the side of the passage 102 from the ejected position illustrated in figures 3 and 4 .
- FIG 7 schematically illustrates a sliding rail 700 in the partition 100.
- the figure 7 presents a schematic perspective view of one end of the sliding rail 700.
- the sliding rail 700 can be located in an upper part of the partition 100.
- the sliding rail 700 can be fixed to the ceiling. This fixing can be done by means of a profile in which the sliding rail 700 is housed.
- the sliding rail 700 can thus be fixed to this profile which, in turn, is fixed to the ceiling.
- the slide rail 700 comprises a top wall 701 and a pair of side walls 702, 703 which each have a recess as shown in figure 7 .
- the sliding rail 700 thus comprises an upper part 704 and a lower part 705, the lower part 705 being wider than the upper part 704.
- the lower part 705 comprises two shoulders 706, 707 delimiting a longitudinal slot 708 in the slide rail 700. These two shoulders 706, 707 are called lower shoulders 706, 707 in what follows for the sake of convenience.
- One and the other of the lower shoulders 706, 707 are respectively integral with one and the other of the side walls 702, 703.
- the sliding rail 700 further comprises two shoulders in the upper part 704 close to the upper wall 701. One and the other of these two shoulders protrude inwardly respectively from one and the other of the side walls. 702, 703. The two shoulders thus define a pair of interior grooves 709, 710 in the slide rail 700.
- the figures 8 and 9 schematically illustrate a carriage 800 capable of sliding in the sliding rail 700.
- the figure 8 shows a schematic perspective view of the carriage 800.
- the figure 9 shows a schematic enlarged perspective view of part of the carriage 800.
- the part illustrated in figure 9 is indicated by a circle in the figure 8 .
- the sliding door 101 illustrated in figures 1-6 can be suspended from the sliding rail 700 by means of two carriages corresponding to the carriage 800 illustrated in figures 8 and 9 .
- One of these two carriages is closest to the wall 104 on the side of the passage 102. This carriage will be referred to as the front carriage for convenience.
- the other carriage which is farther from the wall 104 on the side of the passage 102 will be referred to as the rear carriage.
- the 800 trolley shown in figures 8 and 9 includes a frame with a set of rollers 801, 6 rollers in this embodiment.
- the frame with its rollers 801 is housed in the lower part 705 of the sliding rail 700 illustrated in figure 7 .
- the rollers 801 bear against the lower shoulders 706, 707 of the sliding rail 700.
- a bolt 802 makes it possible to fix the sliding door 101 illustrated to the figures 1-6 to the trolley frame 800.
- the sliding door 101 is then suspended from the trolley 800.
- the bolt 802 passes through the longitudinal slot 708 in the slide rail 700 illustrated in figure 7 .
- the bolt 802 moves in the longitudinal slot 708, crosses a part of this slot 708, when the sliding door 101 slides between the retracted position illustrated in figures 1 and 2 and the closed position illustrated in figures 5 and 6 .
- a damping device 803 is integrated into the frame of the carriage 800.
- the damping device 803 comprises a gripping head 804 adapted to engage with an abutment member present in the sliding rail 700.
- the gripping head 804 is located in a slot 805 present in the damping device 803.
- the gripping head 804 can comprise two teeth 806, 807, one of which 806 always protrudes from the slot 805. This tooth 806, which is wider than the slot 805 and clearly visible to figures 8 and 9 , can come into abutment against the abutment member in the sliding rail 700.
- the tooth 806 in question will therefore be referred to as abutment tooth 806 in what follows.
- the gripping head 804 tilts which causes the other tooth 807 to come out.
- the gripping head 804 of the damping device 803 then comes into engagement with the abutment member present in the sliding rail 700.
- the abutment member, or a part thereof, is engaged between the abutment tooth 806 and the other tooth 807 which will be referred to as gripping tooth 807 in the following.
- the gripping head 804 can slide in the slot 805 present in the damping device 803.
- the damping device 803 can comprise a mechanism ensuring controlled sliding of the gripping head 804 in a reception direction 808 indicated in figure 8 .
- This mechanism can also provide a braked sliding of the gripping head 804 in a direction of release 809 also indicated in figure 8 .
- the mechanism providing these sliding movements may include a cylinder and a spring.
- FIG 10 schematically illustrates a mounting kit 1000 comprising the sliding rail 700 already illustrated in figure 7 , the push-release module 111 very schematically indicated in figures 1-6 , and a rod 1001.
- the figure 10 shows a schematic perspective view of the assembly kit 1000.
- the push-release module 111 includes a coupling section 1002 which makes it possible to connect the push-release module 111 to the rod 1001.
- the push-release module 111 and the rod 1001 slip into the pair of grooves interior 709, 710 of the sliding rail 700 which is located in the upper part 704 of the latter as illustrated in the figure 7 .
- the push-release module 111 and the rod 1001 are then retained in sliding fashion in the upper part 704 of the sliding rail 700.
- the push-release module 111 can be suitably positioned in the sliding rail 700 by means of the rod 1001.
- the push-release module 111 can be positioned so that the aesthetic retracted position illustrated in figures 1 and 2 is obtained.
- the front edge 110 of the sliding door 101 is then flush with the vertical edges of the two walls 105, 106 delimiting the passage 102.
- the push-release module 111 can be locked in position in the sliding rail 700 by means, for example, a screw against pressure 1003.
- This screw 1003 applies to the rod 1001 preferably at the level of the passage 102.
- the screw against pressure 1003 is easily accessible which facilitates assembly and disassembly operations.
- FIG 11 schematically illustrates the assembly kit 1000 with the trolley 800 coupled to the push-release module 111.
- the figure 11 presents a schematic view in perspective of the assembly kit 1000 with the carriage 800 coupled to the push-release module 111.
- the push-release module 111 comprises a member which acts as the abutment member mentioned in the foregoing in relation to the 800 trolley shown in figures 8 and 9 . Gripping head 804 of carriage 800 engages this member as shown in figure 11 .
- the figure 12 , 13, and 14 schematically illustrate the push-release module 111.
- the figure 12 presents a schematic exploded perspective view of the push-release module 111.
- the figure 13 shows a schematic perspective view from below of the push-release module 111.
- the figure 14 shows a schematic perspective view from above of the push-release module 111.
- the push-to-release module 111 comprises a support 1201 having a sliding guide 1202.
- the sliding guide 1202 comprises a front section 1203 and a rear section 1204.
- An intermediate section 1205 of the support 1201 is located between the front section 1203 and the rear section 1204 of the sliding guide 1202.
- the support 1201 also includes the coupling section 1002 mentioned above in reference to the figure 10 . This section makes it possible to connect the push-release module 111 to the rod 1001 as indicated in figure 10 .
- the push-release module 111 further comprises a sliding part 1206 capable of sliding in the sliding guide 1202 of the support 1201.
- the sliding part 1206 comprises a front sliding head 1207 and a rear sliding head 1208.

Abstract
Un kit de montage d'un système coulissant comprenant, d'une part, un rail de coulissement muni d'une paire de rainures intérieures et, d'autre part, un module de verrouillage et d'éjection (111) apte à être inséré dans le rail de coulissement pour être maintenu de façon coulissante par la paire de rainures intérieures. Le module de verrouillage et d'éjection (111) comprend un support (1201) présentant un guide de coulissement (1202) et une partie coulissante (1206) apte à coulisser dans le guide de coulissement (1202). Un coulissement de la partie coulissante (1206) dans un sens d'arrivée provoque une déformation élastique d'une connexion résiliente (1212) entre le support (1201) et la partie coulissante (1206). Une liaison de commutation (1209, 1213) entre le support (1201) et la partie coulissante (1206) définit un état armé où la partie coulissante (1206) est maintenue en position fixe tandis que la connexion résiliente (1212) exerce un effort sur la partie coulissante (1206) du fait de sa déformation élastique. La liaison de commutation (1209, 1213) sort de l'état armé lorsqu'une poussée est exercée sur la partie coulissante (1206) dans le sens d'arrivée. La connexion résiliente (1212) annule alors sa déformation élastiqué et provoque ainsi un coulissement de la partie coulissante (1206) dans un sens d'éjection opposée au sens d'arrivée. La liaison de commutation (1209, 1213) du module (111) présente les particularités suivantes. La partie coulissante (1206) comprend un circuit de rainures (1209). Un bras pivotant (1213) fixé de manière rotative au support (1201) présente une tête (1214) qui parcourt le circuit de rainures (1209).A sliding system assembly kit comprising, on the one hand, a sliding rail provided with a pair of internal grooves and, on the other hand, a locking and ejection module (111) able to be inserted in the slide rail to be slidably held by the pair of inner grooves. The locking and ejection module (111) comprises a support (1201) having a sliding guide (1202) and a sliding part (1206) capable of sliding in the sliding guide (1202). A sliding of the sliding part (1206) in a direction of arrival causes an elastic deformation of a resilient connection (1212) between the support (1201) and the sliding part (1206). A switching link (1209, 1213) between the support (1201) and the sliding part (1206) defines an armed state where the sliding part (1206) is held in a fixed position while the resilient connection (1212) exerts a force on the sliding part (1206) due to its elastic deformation. The switching link (1209, 1213) comes out of the armed state when a thrust is exerted on the sliding part (1206) in the direction of arrival. The resilient connection (1212) then cancels its elastic deformation and thus causes sliding of the sliding part (1206) in a direction of ejection opposite to the direction of arrival. The switching link (1209, 1213) of the module (111) has the following features. The sliding part (1206) comprises a circuit of grooves (1209). A swivel arm (1213) rotatably attached to the bracket (1201) has a head (1214) which runs through the groove circuit (1209).
Description
Un aspect de l'invention concerne un kit de montage d'un système coulissant. Ce kit de montage peut être utilisé, par exemple, dans la réalisation d'une cloison avec une porte coulissante pouvant se loger dans un espace intérieur de la cloison. Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne un système coulissant.One aspect of the invention relates to a kit for mounting a sliding system. This assembly kit can be used, for example, in the production of a partition with a sliding door that can be housed in an interior space of the partition. Another aspect of the invention relates to a sliding system.
Une cloison avec une porte coulissante peut comprendre un espace intérieur dans laquelle la porte coulissante vient se loger lorsque la porte est ouverte. La cloison présente alors un passage qui peut être fermé en sortant la porte de l'espace intérieur et en faisant coulisser la porte jusqu'à ce que le passage soit complément fermé. Il existe différentes solutions de manutention pour sortir la porte de l'espace intérieur.A partition with a sliding door can include an interior space in which the sliding door is housed when the door is open. The partition then has a passage which can be closed by taking the door out of the interior space and by sliding the door until the passage is completely closed. There are different handling solutions to take the door out of the interior space.
Une solution de manutention consiste à assurer qu'une partie de la porte reste en dehors de l'espace intérieur lorsque la porte est totalement ouverte. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut aisément saisir cette partie de la porte qui reste en dehors et faire coulisser la porte pour fermer le passage. Une poignée présente sur la partie qui reste en dehors peut encore faciliter la manutention de la porte. Toutefois, cette solution de manutention présente un désavantage : la partie de la porte qui reste en dehors réduit en largeur le passage.A handling solution is to ensure that part of the door remains outside the interior space when the door is fully open. Thus, a user can easily grasp this part of the door which remains outside and slide the door to close the passage. A handle present on the part that remains outside can further facilitate the handling of the door. However, this handling solution has a disadvantage: the part of the door which remains outside reduces the width of the passage.
Une autre solution de manutention consiste à prévoir une poignée encastrée, couramment appelé « tire doigt », sur un bord de la porte qui reste accessible lorsque la porte est totalement rentrée dans l'espace intérieur. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut saisir la porte latéralement au moyen de ce tire doigt et exercer une traction pour sortir la porte de l'espace intérieur par coulissement. Cette solution de manutention permet une largeur de passage plus importante que la solution décrite avant. Toutefois, munir le bord en question de la porte d'un tire doigt présente un surcoût qui peut être important. La présence d'un tire doigt peut aussi être perçu comme inesthétique.Another handling solution consists in providing a recessed handle, commonly called a "finger pull", on one edge of the door which remains accessible when the door is fully retracted into the interior space. Thus, a user can grasp the door laterally by means of this finger puller and exert traction to slide the door out of the interior space. This handling solution allows a larger passage width than the solution described before. However, providing the edge in question of the door with a finger pull presents an additional cost which can be significant. The presence of a finger pull can also be perceived as unsightly.
Une solution de manutention préférée consiste à prévoir un dispositif d'éjection de type « pousse-lâche » dans l'espace intérieur de la cloison où la porte peut venir se loger. Un utilisateur peut actionner ce dispositif d'éjection en exerçant une pression manuelle sur le bord de la porte qui reste accessible lorsque la porte est totalement rentrée dans l'espace intérieur. Le dispositif d'éjection éjecte alors, au moins partiellement, la porte de l'espace intérieur ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de saisir la porte et la faire coulisser pour fermer le passage.A preferred handling solution consists of providing a "push-and-go" type ejection device in the interior space of the partition where the door can come to stay. A user can actuate this ejection device by exerting manual pressure on the edge of the door which remains accessible when the door is fully retracted into the interior space. The ejection device then ejects, at least partially, the door from the interior space, which allows the user to grasp the door and slide it to close the passage.
La publication brevet
Il existe un besoin pour installer un système coulissant muni d'un mécanisme « pousse-lâche », notamment un système comprenant une porte coulissante, de manière simple, économique et esthétique.There is a need to install a sliding system provided with a “push-release” mechanism, in particular a system comprising a sliding door, in a simple, economical and aesthetic manner.
Un aspect de l'invention tel que défini dans la revendication 1 prévoit en un kit de montage d'un système coulissant comprenant, d'une part, un rail de coulissement muni d'une paire de rainures intérieures et, d'autre part, un module de verrouillage et d'éjection apte à être inséré dans le rail de coulissement pour être maintenu de façon coulissante par la paire de rainures intérieures, le module de verrouillage et d'éjection comprenant :
- un support présentant un guide de coulissement,
- une partie coulissante apte à coulisser dans le guide de coulissement du support,
- une connexion résiliente entre le support et la partie coulissante de sorte qu'un coulissement de la partie coulissante dans un sens d'arrivée provoque une déformation élastique de la connexion résiliente, et
- une liaison de commutation entre le support et la partie coulissante, la liaison de commutation définissant un état armé où la partie coulissante est maintenue en position fixe tandis que la connexion résiliente exerce un effort sur la partie coulissante du fait de sa déformation élastique, la liaison de commutation étant configurée pour sortir de l'état armé lorsqu'une poussée est exercée sur la partie coulissante dans le sens d'arrivée, la connexion résiliente annulant sa déformation élastiqué en sortant de l'état armé ainsi provoquant un coulissement de la partie coulissante dans un sens d'éjection opposée au sens d'arrivée,
- un circuit de rainures compris dans la partie coulissante, et
- un bras pivotant fixé de manière rotative au support, le bras pivotant présentant une tête (apte à parcourir le circuit de rainures dans la partie coulissante.
- a support having a sliding guide,
- a sliding part capable of sliding in the sliding guide of the support,
- a resilient connection between the support and the sliding part such that a sliding of the sliding part in a direction of arrival causes an elastic deformation of the resilient connection, and
- a switching link between the support and the sliding part, the switching link defining an armed state where the sliding part is maintained in a fixed position while the resilient connection exerts a force on the sliding part due to its elastic deformation, the link switch being configured to exit the armed state when a thrust is exerted on the sliding part in the direction of arrival, the resilient connection canceling its elastic deformation on leaving the armed state, thus causing sliding of the sliding part in a direction of ejection opposite to the direction of arrival,
- a circuit of grooves included in the sliding part, and
- a swivel arm rotatably fixed to the support, the swivel arm having a head (capable of traversing the circuit of grooves in the sliding part.
Un autre aspect de l'invention tel que défini dans la revendication 13 prévoit en un système coulissant réalisé à partir d'un kit de montage tel que défini dans ce qui précède comprenant une porte apte à coulisser dans le rail de coulissement, le module de verrouillage et d'éjection étant disposé dans le rail de coulissement.Another aspect of the invention as defined in claim 13 provides, in a sliding system made from an assembly kit as defined in the foregoing, comprising a door capable of sliding in the sliding rail, the module of locking and ejection being disposed in the sliding rail.
Le module de verrouillage et d'éjection peut être relativement compact, plus compact par rapport à d'autres modules qui ont été proposés pour des systèmes à base de rails de coulissement. Cette compacité est obtenue notamment grâce au fait que le circuit de rainures se trouve dans sa partie coulissante tandis que le bras pivotant est fixé de manière rotative au support. Par contraste, dans l'art antérieur identifié dans ce qui précède, un circuit de rainures se trouve dans un support fixe et un bras pivotant est fixé de manière rotative à une partie coulissante par rapport au support fixe. En faisant l'inverse, il est donc possible de rendre les modules plus compacts et donc plus adaptés à l'insertion dans un rail de coulissement. De plus, les modules peuvent être de construction plus simples et produits à moindre coût.The locking and ejection module can be relatively compact, more compact compared to other modules which have been proposed for systems based on sliding rails. This compactness is obtained in particular thanks to the fact that the circuit of grooves is located in its sliding part while the pivoting arm is rotatably fixed to the support. In contrast, in the prior art identified above, a slot circuit is in a fixed support and a pivot arm is rotatably attached to a sliding portion relative to the fixed support. By doing the reverse, it is therefore possible to make the modules more compact and therefore more suitable for insertion into a sliding rail. In addition, the modules can be simpler in construction and produced at lower cost.
Le module de verrouillage et d'éjection étant compact, il peut être aisément inséré dans le rail de coulissement puis facilement positionné de manière à obtenir un résultat esthétique. Dans le cas d'une cloison avec une porte coulissante, le résultat esthétique est obtenu lorsqu'en position ouverte la porte coulissante ne dépasse pas de la cloison, mais affleure. De plus, le module de verrouillage et d'éjection peut être compatible avec les systèmes coulissants existants comportant un dispositif d'amortissement dans un chariot qui coulisse dans le rail de coulissement. Il n'est pas donc nécessaire de reconcevoir ces systèmes existants pour ajouter une fonction « pousse-lâche ». L'invention permet donc d'installer des systèmes coulissants intégrant une fonction « pousse-lâche » de manière simple, économique et esthétique.Since the locking and ejection module is compact, it can be easily inserted into the sliding rail and then easily positioned so as to obtain an aesthetic result. In the case of a partition with a door sliding, the aesthetic result is obtained when in the open position the sliding door does not protrude from the partition, but is flush. In addition, the locking and ejection module can be compatible with existing sliding systems comprising a damping device in a carriage which slides in the sliding track. There is therefore no need to redesign these existing systems to add a “push and drop” function. The invention therefore makes it possible to install sliding systems integrating a “push-release” function in a simple, economical and aesthetic manner.

Les modes de réalisation décrits dans ce qui précède en référence aux dessins sont présentés à titre d'illustration. L'invention peut être mise en oeuvre de nombreuses façons différentes. Afin d'illustrer cela, quelques alternatives sont indiquées sommairement.The embodiments described in the foregoing with reference to the drawings are presented by way of illustration. The invention can be implemented in many different ways. To illustrate this, some alternatives are briefly indicated.
L'invention peut être mise en oeuvre dans de nombreux types de produits et procédés dans lequel un élément coulissant est éjecté suite à une poussée sur cet élément. À titre d'illustration, une mise en oeuvre a été décrite qui concerne une cloison avec une porte coulissante. D'autres mises en oeuvre peuvent concerner d'autres types de produits. Par exemple, l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre dans un meuble comprenant des portes coulissantes ou des tiroirs coulissants.The invention can be implemented in numerous types of products and processes in which a sliding element is ejected following a thrust on this element. By way of illustration, an implementation has been described which relates to a partition with a sliding door. Other implementations may relate to other types of products. For example, the invention can be implemented in a piece of furniture comprising sliding doors or sliding drawers.
Il existe de nombreuses façons de mettre en oeuvre la connexion résiliente entre le support et la partie coulissante dans un module pousse-lâche conforme à l'invention. Dans les modes de réalisation présentés, la connexion résiliente comprend un ressort à étirement. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, la connexion résiliente peut comprendre, par exemple, un ressort à la compression ou un élément à matière élastique.There are many ways to implement the resilient connection between the support and the sliding part in a push-release module according to the invention. In the disclosed embodiments, the resilient connection includes a stretch spring. In other embodiments, the resilient connection may comprise, for example, a compression spring or an element of elastic material.
Les modes de réalisation présentés mettent en oeuvre une autre invention qui peut être appliquée de façon indépendante de l'invention revendiquée. Cette autre invention se caractérise par un module de verrouillage et d'éjection étant accouplé à une tringle qui sont conjointement reçus de façon coulissante dans une paire de rainures d'un rail de coulissement. La tringle peut être verrouillée en position dans le rail de coulissement par un élément de verrouillage ce qui verrouille alors aussi ledit module en position. L'élément de verrouillage peut alors se situer au niveau d'un passage, d'une ouverture, qui existe lorsqu'une porte pouvant coulisser dans le rail de coulissement est en position ouverte. Cette solution facilite l'installation et l'ajustement d'un module de verrouillage et d'éjection dans une cloison, un meuble, ou toute autre entité équipée d'une porte coulissante.The disclosed embodiments implement another invention which can be applied independently of the claimed invention. This other invention is characterized by a locking and ejection module being coupled to a rod which are together slidably received in a pair of grooves of a slide rail. The rod can be locked by position in the sliding rail by a locking element which then also locks said module in position. The locking element can then be located at a passage, an opening, which exists when a door slidable in the sliding rail is in the open position. This solution facilitates the installation and adjustment of a locking and ejection module in a partition, a piece of furniture, or any other entity equipped with a sliding door.
Les remarques qui précèdent montrent que les modes de réalisation décrits en référence aux dessins illustrent l'invention plutôt qu'ils ne la limitent. Les signes de références n'ont aucun caractère limitatif. Le verbe « comprendre » dans une revendication n'exclut pas la présence d'autres éléments ou d'autres étapes que ceux ou celles listés dans la revendication. Il en va de même pour des verbes similaires tel que « comporter » et « inclure ».The foregoing remarks show that the embodiments described with reference to the drawings illustrate the invention rather than limit it. The reference signs have no limiting character. The verb "comprise" in a claim does not exclude the presence of other elements or other steps than those listed in the claim. The same goes for similar verbs such as “comport” and “include”.
