Description
La présente invention est relative aux dispositifs permettant de fixer un élément sur l'un des panneaux d'un caisson, notamment un élément de serrure tel qu'une poignée, un bouton-poussoir et/ou un verrou sur une porte de véhicule automobile, cet élément traversant le panneau et prenant appui sur sa face externe.The present invention relates to devices making it possible to fix an element on one of the panels of a box, in particular a lock element such as a handle, a push button and / or a lock on a door of a motor vehicle, this element passing through the panel and bearing on its external face.
Il est connu de réaliser cette fixation au moyen d'une platine échancrée, telle qu'une plaque ajourée ou une fourche plate, disposée contre la face interne du panneau portant l'élément de serrure et munie d'une échancrure centrale dont le bord coopère avec au moins une gorge de l'élément de manière à l'immobiliser, l'engagement de ce bord dans cette gorge s'effectuant par glissement de la platine le long de ladite face interne. La platine est maintenue en position d'immobilisation de l'élément de serrure par des moyens filetés ou par déformation élastique de la platine ou d'une autre pièce du dispositif.It is known to make this attachment by means of a notched plate, such as a perforated plate or a flat fork, disposed against the internal face of the panel carrying the lock element and provided with a central notch whose edge cooperates. with at least one groove of the element so as to immobilize it, the engagement of this edge in this groove being effected by sliding of the plate along said internal face. The plate is held in the immobilization position of the lock element by threaded means or by elastic deformation of the plate or of another part of the device.
Lors du démontage de l'élément de serrure, notamment pour le changer s'il est endommagé, il faut accéder à la platine pour la faire glisser, ainsi qu'aux moyens filetés s'il en est prévu. Mais la platine étant disposée contre la face interne du panneau portant l'élément, donc dans le caisson, son accès implique habituellement le démontage long et fastidieux d'une garniture équipant le panneau intérieur de la porte.When disassembling the lock element, in particular to change it if it is damaged, you must access the plate to slide it, as well as the threaded means if provided. But the plate being arranged against the internal face of the panel carrying the element, therefore in the box, its access usually involves the long and tedious disassembly of a trim fitted to the interior panel of the door.
Ainsi le document US-A 2 610 500 décrit un dispositif de fixation du type énoncé dans le préambule de la revendication 1. Dans ce dispositif connu, une platine échancrée pivote autour d'un axe fixé au panneau, tout en glissant le long de ce dernier. Le basculement de cette platine vers l'une ou l'autre de ses deux positions s'effectue par poussée sur l'une ou l'autre de deux oreilles disposées de part et d'autre de l'axe précité.Thus document US-
Une telle disposition est relativement coûteuse et peu fiable, notamment parce que la poussée s'effectue en porte-à-faux par rapport à l'axe de pivotement de la platine, ce qui provoque des frottements et des contraintes mécaniques, en particulier au voisinage de l'axe.Such an arrangement is relatively expensive and unreliable, in particular because the thrust takes place in cantilever with respect to the pivot axis of the plate, which causes friction and mechanical stresses, in particular in the vicinity of the axis.
L'invention a pour but d'améliorer le dispositif connu de fixation d'un élément de serrure sur un panneau de porte de véhicule, de façon à permettre un démontage et un remontage rapides et aisés dudit élément, en particulier sans nécessiter le dégarnissage de la porte.The invention aims to improve the known device for fixing a lock element on a vehicle door panel, so as to allow rapid and easy disassembly and reassembly of said element, in particular without requiring the stripping of the door.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'un élément sur un panneau d'un caisson formé de deux panneaux reliés par une paroi latérale et notammment d'un élément de serrure sur un panneau de porte de véhicule, cet élément traversant le panneau et coopérant avec une platine échancrée adaptée pour glisser le long de la face interne du panneau entre une position d'immobilisation de l'élément et une position de dégagement de ce dernier, un orifice autorisant le passage d'un organe d'actionnement de la platine étant ménagé dans la paroi latérale, caractérisé en ce que la platine est montée coulissante le long de la face interne du panneau et des moyens de liaison sont prévus sur la platine, eu regard dudit orifice, pour coopérer avec ledit organe d'actionnement.The invention thus relates to a device for fixing an element on a panel of a box formed by two panels connected by a side wall and in particular a lock element on a vehicle door panel, this element passing through the panel and cooperating with a scalloped plate adapted to slide along the internal face of the panel between an immobilization position of the element and a release position of the latter, an orifice allowing the passage of an actuating member of the plate being formed in the side wall, characterized in that the plate is slidably mounted along the internal face of the panel and connecting means are provided on the plate, having regard to said orifice, to cooperate with said member actuation.
Suivant d'autres caractéristiques:According to other characteristics:
Lesdits moyens de liaison sont formés sur une partie en saillie prévue sur la platine et s'étendant en regard de la paroi latérale du caisson.Said connecting means are formed on a projecting part provided on the plate and extending opposite the side wall of the box.
Il est prévu des moyens de blocage de la platine, en position d'immobilisation dudit élément, accessibles de l'extérieur du caisson et comprenant lesdits moyens de liaison.Means are provided for blocking the plate, in the immobilization position of said element, accessible from outside the box and comprising said connecting means.
Lesdits moyens de liaison comprennent un trou taraudé et ledit organe comprend une tige adaptée pour traverser ledit orifice, une extrémité de cette tige étant filetée de façon à coopérer avec le trou taraudé de la platine pour commander le coulissement de cettre dernière de l'extérieur du caisson.Said connecting means comprise a tapped hole and said member comprises a rod adapted to pass through said orifice, one end of this rod being threaded so as to cooperate with the tapped hole of the plate to control the sliding of this latter from outside the box.
Lesdits moyens de blocage comprennent une vis adaptée pour traverser l'orifice et pour être vissée de l'extérieur du caisson dans ledit trou taraudé, en position d'immobilisation dudit élément.Said locking means comprise a screw adapted to pass through the orifice and to be screwed from the outside of the box into said tapped hole, in the immobilization position of said element.
Un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est décrit ci-après, avec référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels:
- La Fig. 1 est une vue en coupe suivant un plan à peu près vertical du dispositif de l'invention équipant une porte de véhicule;
- La Fig. 2 est une vue partielle en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la Fig. 1, le dispositif étant bloqué en position d'immobilisation de l'élément de serrure;
- La Fig. 3 est une vue en coupe partielle suivant la ligne III-III de la Fig. 1; et
- La Fig. 4 est une vue partielle en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la Fig. 1, le dispositif étant en position de dégagement de l'élément de serrure.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional view along a roughly vertical plane of the device of the invention fitted to a vehicle door;
- Fig. 2 is a partial sectional view along line II-II of FIG. 1, the device being locked in the immobilization position of the lock element;
- Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view along line III-III of FIG. 1; and
- Fig. 4 is a partial sectional view along line II-II of FIG. 1, the device being in the release position of the lock element.
On voit sur les Figures une porte 1 de véhicule automobile, constituée d'un panneau extérieur 2 et d'un panneau intérieur 3 reliés par une cloison d'extrémité 4.We see in the Figures a door 1 of a motor vehicle, consisting of an
Une poignée 5, comportant un bouton-poussoir 6 propre à actionner un levier 7 d'un mécanisme de serrure, traverse le panneau 2 par une ouverture circulaire 8 et prend appui par un épaulement annulaire 5a sur la face externe du panneau, autour de cette ouverture 8. Cette poignée est immobilisée (Fig. 3) au moyen d'une platine 9 appliquée contre la face interne du panneau 2. A cet effet, la platine comporte une échancrure centrale 10 dont le bord délimite deux parties 11 qui coopèrent avec deux gorges 12 délimitées d'une part par l'épaulement 5a, et d'autre part par deux saillies 13 diamétralement opposées de la poignée formées en regard de l'épaulement 5a. La platine est alors (Fig. 2) en position d'immobilisation de la poignée.A
L'ouverture 8 présente deux encoches 14 diamétralement opposées propres à laisser passer les saillies 13, et l'échancrure 10 présente aussi deux encoches 15 décalées de celles de l'ouverture 8 quand la platine est dans la susdite position d'immobilisation de la poignée (Fig. 2), et susceptibles d'être alignées avec les encoches 14 quand la platine est amenée, par coulissement perpendiculaire à la cloison 4, dans la position 9a (Fig. 4) dite de dégagement de la poignée, celle-ci pouvant en effet alors être évacuée à travers l'ouverture 8 grâce au passage des saillies 13 par les encoches 14 et 15. Pour permettre le susdit coulissement, en position immobilisée de la poignée, l'échancrure 10 s'étend, en direction de la cloison 4, sur une distance notablement plus grande que l'ouverture 8.The
La platine comporte, du côté de la cloison, un rebord 16 sensiblement parallèle à celle-ci. Dans ce rebord est agencé un trou taraudé 17 d'axe parallèle à la direction du coulissement, c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire à la cloison, et dans cette dernière est percé, au droit du trou 17, un orifice 18 légèrement plus large que ce trou.The plate comprises, on the side of the partition, a
Comme visible aux Fig. 2 et 3, une vis 19 traverse la cloison par l'orifice 18 et est vissée dans le trou taraudé 17 de manière à maintenir la platine dans sa position d'immobilisation de la serrure, le rebord 16 étant alors en appui contre la cloison 4, ce qui procure une rigidité satisfaisante de la porte au droit de la poignée.As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a
A la Fig. 4 est représenté, à la place de la vis 19, un outil 20 dont un embout fileté 21 traverse la cloison par l'orifice 18 et est vissé dans le trou taraudé 17. Un déplacement de l'outil, parallèlement à son embout, c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement à la cloison 4, permet de faire coulisser la platine de l'une à l'autre de ses deux susdites positions; en particulier, après avoir déplacé l'outil vers la gauche sur la Fig. 4, donc amené la platine dans sa position 9a (Fig. 4), la poignée peut être démontée et changée, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de retirer la garniture 22 équipant le panneau 3.In Fig. 4 is shown, in place of the
En variante, la platine ici représentée sous forme d'une plaque ajourée, peut être constituée d'une fourche à peu près plate, l'échancrure débouchant alors du côté opposé à la cloison. Le rebord 16 réalisé dans l'exemple décrit par pliage d'une tôle épaisse constituant la platine, peut être remplacé par une autre forme d'extension de la platine, obtenue notamment par moulage, ou par soudage d'une pièce rapportée. Enfin, au lieu de fixer une poignée à bouton-poussoir, le dispositif susmentionné peut s'appliquer à d'autres éléments par exemple à un verrou cylindrique à entraînement rotatif, pour ne citer qu'une autre application, dans le domaine des serrures.As a variant, the plate here represented in the form of an openwork plate, may consist of a roughly flat fork, the notch then opening out on the side opposite to the partition. The
Selon encore une autre variante, la platine est immobilisable dans chacune de ses deux positions grâce à des moyens classiques utilisant une déformation élastique de la platine ou d'une pièce du dispositif. Le trou taraudé est alors utilisé uniquement pour coopérer avec l'outil 20 et non plus pour y engager une vis de fixation.According to yet another variant, the plate can be immobilized in each of its two positions by conventional means using an elastic deformation of the plate or of a part of the device. The tapped hole is then used only to cooperate with the
