Definitions
- This invention relates to a side door hinge mechanism in a motor vehicle according to the pre-characterizing portion of Claim 1.
- the side door in a motor vehicle e.g. passenger car has heretofore been installed in a manner to be rotatable about a hinge affixed to a vehicle body for opening or closing.
- a door opening angle corresponding to the total length of the side door is required.
- GB-A-1 123 970 discloses a side door hinge mechanism having a quadruple articlated hinge, like it is shown in principle in Figures 1 and 2 which comprises: a front rotary link 4 interconnecting a first and second rotary shaft 2A, 3A which are disposed at the forward sides of a vehicle body 2 of a motor vehicle 1 and a side door 3 and a rear rotary link 5 interconnecting a third and a fourth rotary shaft 2B, 3B which are spaced apart from the first and second rotary shaft 2A, 3A in the rear longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1 on the vehicle body 2 and on the side door 3.
- a front pillar designated at 6 is a front pillar, 7 a front wheel and 8 a divided movable fender rotatable with the front rotary link 4.
- This side door hinge mechanism makes it possible for the occupant to reduce the space beside the motor vehicle necessary to secure a space at his feet and to open the side door in consequence, even when the space beside the motor vehicle is small, the occupant can get on or off the motor vehicle by opening or closing the side door 3.
- a side door hinge mechanism in which the side door will swing outwardly and upwardly when moving from a closed to an open position by the utilization of a first and a second hinge arm, in each of which a rotary shaft on the vehicle body is inclined and a rotary shaft on the door has a ball joint, and a control arm is connected at opposite ends thereof to the vehicle body and the side door through ball joints.
- This side door hinge mechanism utilizing three arms is complicated, a space for receiving the arms becomes excessively large when the door is closed, and the vehicle weight is increased.
- It is the object of the present invention is to provide a side door hinge mechanism in a motor vehicle, in which, even when such a side door is adopted that the upper end portion of a door frame or a door glass thereof is curved or inclined inwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body, a upper body of an occupant does not interfere with the upper portion of the side door when the occupant gets on or off the vehicle, so that getting on or off the vehicle is easy.
- the construction of the side door hinge mechanism has to be simple, a space for receiving the rotary links when the door is closed and the weight have to be small.
- a quadruple articulated hinge comprises: a front rotary link 14 interconnecting a first and a second rotary centre, which are disposed at the forward sides of a vehicle body 12 and a side door 13, a rear rotary link 15 interconnecting a third and a fourth rotary centre which are disposed spaced apart from the first and second rotary centers in the rear longitudinal direction of the vehicle at the vehicle body 12 and at the side door 13; the rotary centers at the opposite ends of one 14 of the rotary links 14, 15 are formed into rotary shafts 14A and 14B both being elongate in the vertical direction of the vehicle body 12, the forward rotary shaft 14A is inclined forwardly of the vehicle body 12 and outwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 so that the upper end portions of the side door 13 can be inclined outwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 when the side door 13 is opened
- the rotary shaft 14A of the front rotary link 14 on the vehicle body 12, for supporting the forward end portion of the side door 13 is installed in a manner to be inclined outwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 and forwardly, whereby, when the side door 13 is opened, the upper portion of the side door 13 comes to be inclined outwardly so that the side door 13 has an increased opening degree as shown in Figure 5. Then, a divided movable fender 8 is rotated with the front rotary link 14, whereby the rear portion thereof is moved outwardly of the vehicle body 12.
- the opposite ends of the rear rotary link 15 are formed into the ball joints 15A and 15B, whereby, even if the height between the ball joints 15A and 15B is varied as the side door 13 is opened, the variation in height is followed, so that the opening degree of the side door 13 can be controlled.
- the upper portion of the side door 13 is inclined outwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 atthefully opened state of the side door 13, whereby, even if a door glass 16 or a door frame, not shown, is considerably inclined or curved inwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 at the fully closed state of the side door 13, the side door 13 is relieved outwardly at the fully opened state thereof, so that if does not interfere with the upper body of an occupant when he gets on or off the vehicle.
- the rotary shaft 14A of the front rotary link 14 on the vehicle body 12 is inclined outwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12 and forwardly, whereby the upper portion of the side door 13 is outwardly inclined when the side door 13 is opened.
- the present invention is applicable to any side door hinge mechanism in which the upper portion of the side door 13 can be inclined outwardly when the side door 13 is opened.
- both the rotary shafts 14A and 14B disposed at the opposite ends of the front rotary link 14 may be inclined forwardly of the vehicle body 12 for example.
- Figure 6 shows a moving path of the side door 13 when the side door 13 is opened or closed in the above case.
- the rotary shaft 14A of the front rotary link 14 on the vehicle body 12 may be disposed in the vertical direction and the upper portion of the rotary shaft 14B on the side door 13 may be inclined rearwardly of the vehicle body 12 and inwardly in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body 12.
- Figure 7 shows a moving path of the side door 13 when the door is opened or closed in the above case.
- the rotary shaft 14A, 14B in the front rotary link 14 is inclined and the opposite ends of the rear rotary link 15 are formed into the ball joints 15A, 15B, however, this arrangement may be reversed.
- the front rotary link 14 is elongated in the vertical direction and supports most of the load of the side door 13, while the rear rotary link 15 controls the moving path of the side door 13.
- this arrangement may also be reversed.
- the load of the side door 13 may be supported by members other than the rotary links 14 and 15.
