Abstract

The invention relates to a locking mechanism (10) suitable for a device for closing/opening a leaf (60) with respect to a frame (70), by causing the leaf to pivot about a pivot axis upon closing, followed by a translational movement of the leaf (60) that is orthogonal to the pivot axis, from an opening plane to a closing plane. The locking mechanism (10) comprises a locking assembly (12) comprising a blocking element (14) designed to cooperate with a portion of the leaf (60), and an actuator (20) designed to actuate the locking assembly (12) in a locking position wherein the leaf (60) is locked against the frame (70) by the blocking element (14) in the closing plane. The actuator (20) comprises an energy accumulator (22), an actuating rocker (36) rigidly connected to the locking assembly (14), and a connector (26). The connector (26) is designed to connect the energy accumulator (21) to a movable frame (2) of the closing/opening device. The movable frame (2) can be translatably actuated upon the movement of the leaf (60) from the opening plane to the closing plane. The actuator (20) is configured, on the one hand, to store energy in the energy accumulator (22) upon the translational movement of the movable frame (2) when the leaf (60) is moved from the opening plane to the closing plane along a first portion and, on the other hand, to at least partially use the energy stored in the energy accumulator (22) when the leaf (60) is moved from the opening plane to the closing plane along a second portion, for rotatably actuating the actuating rocker (36) in order to bring the locking assembly (12) into the locking position.

Abstract

The invention relates to a retractable mechanism (10) having a frame (20), a retractable housing (12) configured to take up a retracted position, in which the retractable housing (12) is locked in the frame, and an extended position with respect to the frame, and an actuator (25). The actuator comprises a camway (30) arranged on the retractable housing (12), a cam follower (39) secured to a rocker (34) arranged in the frame, and a pusher (40) for moving the retractable housing (12) from its retracted position into its extended position when the retractable housing is unlocked. The camway (30) has a locking portion (30a), in which the cam follower (39) is arranged when the retractable housing (12) is locked in its retracted position. The actuator (25) also has a retention member (46) designed to prevent the cam follower (39) from leaving the locking portion (30a) of the camway (30) as long as the force exerted on a support wall (13) of the retractable housing (12) does not exceed a predetermined threshold value so as to prevent inadvertent unlocking of the retractable mechanism.

Abstract

Mechanism (10) for opening/closing an opening leaf (12) with respect to a frame (14). The mechanism (10) is configured to cause, upon opening, a lifting of the opening leaf (12) from a closure plane to an opening plane parallel to the closure plane, followed by a pivoting of the opening leaf (12) about a pivot axis (V) orthogonal to the translational movement of the opening leaf, and vice versa upon closing. The mechanism (10) comprises for this purpose: a fixed frame (50); a movable frame (55) mounted translationally on the fixed frame; a hinge part (61) mounted in a pivoting manner on the movable frame and coupled to a mechanism for attachment to the opening leaf; an actuator comprising an output member (25) which can be actuated in a direction orthogonal to the pivot axis (V) of the opening leaf (12); and a transmission (30, 70, 73, 74, 73', 74'). The transmission comprises a transmission link (30) comprising a first articulation (31a) coupled in a pivoting manner to the output member (25), and a second articulation (31b) coupled in a pivoting manner to the hinge part. The fixed frame (50) comprises a guiding arrangement (52, 80, 80') configured to cooperate with the transmission such that the movement of the output member (25), during the opening of the mechanism, causes the lifting of the movable frame (55) with respect to the fixed frame (50), then the rotation of the hinge part (61) by a desired angle in order to switch from a closed configuration to an open configuration of the opening/closing mechanism.
