Description

La présente invention a pour objet un lève-vitre de véhicule du type comportant soit un seul rail de guidage de la vitre entre deux coulisses de la porte (lève-vitre dit "simple lift"), soit deux rails de guidage disposés entre les coulisses (lève-vitre Bowden, dit à "double lift").The present invention relates to a vehicle window regulator of the type comprising either a single guide rail for the window between two slides of the door (window regulator called "simple lift"), or two guide rails arranged between the slides (Bowden window regulator, called "double lift").

Dans un lève-vitre Bowden à double lift, les deux rails doivent être théoriquement parallèles mais en fait ne le sont jamais parfaitement entre eux et par rapport aux coulisses. Ces défauts de parallélisme entraînent des frottements indésirables et affectent donc défavorablement le fonctionnement du lève-vitre.In a double lift Bowden window regulator, the two rails must be theoretically parallel, but in fact are never perfectly parallel to each other and to the rails. These parallelism defects cause undesirable friction and therefore adversely affect the operation of the window regulator.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un lève-vitre agencé de manière à éliminer cet inconvénient, en prévoyant une compensation au défaut de parallélisme des rails entre eux et par rapport aux coulisses.The object of the invention is to propose a window regulator arranged so as to eliminate this drawback, by providing compensation for the lack of parallelism of the rails between them and with respect to the slides.

Le lève-vitre visé par l'invention est du type défini par le préambule de la revendication 1.The window regulator covered by the invention is of the type defined by the preamble of claim 1.

Le DE-44 40 170 décrit un dispositif à curseur et pièce interposée entre celui-ci et la vitre ; ladite pièce porte des rampes inclinées de guidage d'une patte du curseur jusqu'à un trou d'insertion d'un pion terminal de la patte dans ladite pièce et dans la vitre. Ce dispositif ne comporte pas de fourchette adaptée pour coopérer avec la patte et est donc d'un type différent de celui visé par l'invention.DE-44 40 170 describes a slider device and part interposed between it and the window; said part carries inclined ramps for guiding a tab of the cursor to a hole for inserting a terminal pin of the tab in said part and in the window. This device does not include a fork adapted to cooperate with the lug and is therefore of a different type from that intended by the invention.

Le EP-0 708 220 divulgue un système de lève-vitre dans lequel le curseur 1 porte un nez ou pion 10 qui s'introduit, sans jeu, dans une ouverture 200 d'une pièce intercalaire, ce trou étant orienté dans une direction sensiblement horizontale. Ce système, de structure complexe, est éloigné de celui visé par l'invention.EP-0 708 220 discloses a window regulator system in which the cursor 1 carries a nose or pin 10 which is inserted, without play, into an opening 200 of an intermediate piece, this hole being oriented in a direction substantially horizontal. This system, of complex structure, is far from that aimed by the invention.

Le DE-38 17 260 a trait à un dispositif de lève-vitre comportant un curseur 11 pourvu d'un pion 10 qui s'engage dans un bas de vitre et non dans la vitre elle-même. Ce système, dépourvu de pièce intercalaire entre la vitre et le curseur, est de structure très éloignée de celle visée par l'invention.DE-38 17 260 relates to a window regulator comprising a slider 11 provided with a pin 10 which engages in the bottom of the window and not in the window itself. This system, devoid of any intermediate piece between the glass and the slider, has a structure very far from that intended by the invention.

Conformément à l'invention, le lève-vitre comporte les caractéristiques mentionnées à la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.According to the invention, the window regulator has the characteristics mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ainsi une pièce intercalaire autorise un jeu dans la direction horizontale de la vitre par rapport au curseur-pion, de part et d'autre de celui-ci aux endroits où les rails ne sont pas parfaitement parallèles entre eux ou aux coulisses. Pour ce faire le trou circulaire de passage du pion est agrandi par rapport au trou percé jusqu'à présent dans les vitres, tout en restant inférieur à la longueur du trou oblong. Ceci permet au pion de se débattre effectivement sur toute la longueur du trou oblong, convenablement ajustée.Thus an intermediate piece allows play in the horizontal direction of the glass with respect to the slider-pin, on either side of it at the places where the rails are not perfectly parallel to each other or to the slides. To do this, the circular hole for the passage of the pin is enlarged relative to the hole drilled so far in the panes, while remaining less than the length of the oblong hole. This allows the pawn to effectively struggle over the entire length of the oblong hole, suitably adjusted.

Le système est ainsi rendu isostatique et supprime les frottements parasites constatés dans les lève-vitres antérieurs.The system is thus made isostatic and eliminates the parasitic friction observed in the anterior window regulators.

De plus, la disposition de moyens d'appui élastique de la pièce à trou oblong évite les bruits parasites qui pourraient être générés par un appui insuffisant de la fourchette sur la vitre lors de la course de cette dernière, tout en permettant de supprimer les cales en mousse utilisées jusqu'à présent.In addition, the provision of elastic support means for the part with an oblong hole prevents unwanted noise which could be generated by insufficient support of the fork on the window during the travel of the latter, while allowing the shims to be eliminated. foam used so far.

Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen anti-rotation de la pièce à trou oblong est une patte de celle-ci s'étendant jusqu'au bord inférieur de la vitre et pourvue d'un profilé en U agencé pour recevoir ledit bord inférieur.According to a characteristic of the invention, the anti-rotation means of the part with an oblong hole is a tab thereof extending to the lower edge of the glass and provided with a U-shaped section arranged to receive said edge. inferior.

A cet effet et comme dans les lève-vitres antérieurs, le trou de passage du pion du curseur est agencé à proximité du bord inférieur de la vitre.For this purpose and as in the previous window regulators, the passage hole of the slider pin is arranged near the lower edge of the window.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent une forme de réalisation à titre d'exemple non limitatif.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings which illustrate an embodiment thereof by way of nonlimiting example.

La figure 1 est une vue en élévation schématique partielle et à échelle réduite d'un lève-vitre du type à "double lift".Figure 1 is a partial schematic elevational view on a reduced scale of a window regulator of the "double lift" type.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective, à échelle agrandie, d'une pièce à trou oblong du lève-vitre selon l'invention.Figure 2 is a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of a part with an oblong hole in the window regulator according to the invention.

La figure 3 est une vue en élévation de la pièce de la figure 2.Figure 3 is an elevational view of the part of Figure 2.

La figure 4 est une vue en perspective du curseur, de la pièce à trou oblong et de la fourchette associée, faisant partie du lève-vitre selon l'invention.Figure 4 is a perspective view of the cursor, the part with an oblong hole and the associated fork, forming part of the window regulator according to the invention.

La figure 5 est une vue en coupe suivant 5/5 de la figure 6.FIG. 5 is a sectional view along 5/5 of FIG. 6.

La figure 6 est une vue en élévation frontale depuis l'extérieur de la vitre, d'un dispositif de curseur, pièce à trou oblong et fourchette selon l'invention, monté sur le bas d'une vitre.Figure 6 is a front elevational view from the outside of the glass, of a slider device, part with oblong hole and fork according to the invention, mounted on the bottom of a glass.

La vitre 1 (figure 1) d'une porte de véhicule non représentée est montée sur deux rails 2, 3 de guidage d'un lève-vitre Bowden "à double-lift", et peut exécuter des montées et des descentes sur ces rails 2, 3 entre deux coulisses 4, 5 du cadre de la porte.The window pane 1 (FIG. 1) of a vehicle door (not shown) is mounted on two rails 2, 3 for guiding a "double-lift" Bowden window regulator, and can perform ascents and descents on these rails 2, 3 between two slides 4, 5 of the door frame.

Les rails 2, 3 peuvent présenter des défauts de parallélisme à certains endroits se traduisant par un angle α de changement de direction, les coulisses 4, 5 pouvant également présenter des défauts de parallélisme se traduisant par un angle β.The rails 2, 3 may have defects in parallelism in certain places resulting in an angle α of change of direction, the slides 4, 5 may also have defects in parallelism resulting in an angle β.

La structure générale du lève-vitre est connue en soi et de ce fait non représentée. Ce lève-vitre comprend (Fig.1 et 4) deux curseurs 6 de support de la vitre 1, disposés à proximité de son bord inférieur 1a avec un écartement entre eux correspondant à celui des rails de guidage 2, 3. Le curseur 6, réalisé de manière connue en soi, est disposé du côté intérieur de la vitre 1 et est muni d'un pion cylindrique 7 pouvant traverser un trou circulaire 8 ménagé dans le bas de la vitre 1. Ce pion 7 peut venir se clipser par son extrémité sur une fourchette 9 placée de l'autre côté de la vitre 1, donc du côté extérieur.The general structure of the window regulator is known per se and therefore not shown. This window regulator includes (Fig. 1 and 4) two sliders 6 of supporting the pane 1, disposed close to its bottom edge 1a with a spacing between them corresponding to the guide rails 2, 3. The slider 6, made in a known manner, is arranged on the inner side of the window 1 and is provided with a cylindrical pin 7 which can pass through a circular hole 8 formed in the bottom of the glass 1. This pin 7 can be clipped at its end onto a fork 9 placed on the other side of the glass 1, so on the outside.

A cet effet, la fourchette 9 comporte deux dents terminales élastiques 11 placées en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre et faisant saillie dans un dégagement 12 de la fourchette 9, ces dents 11 pouvant venir coiffer élastiquement l'extrémité du pion 7.For this purpose, the fork 9 comprises two elastic end teeth 11 placed opposite one another and projecting into a clearance 12 from the fork 9, these teeth 11 being able to come to resiliently cap the end of the pawn 7.

Le dispositif comporte, pour chacun des deux curseurs 6 supportant la vitre 1, une pièce 13 interposée entre le curseur 6 et la vitre 1. Cette pièce 13 comporte un corps 23 dans lequel est ménagé un trou oblong 14 de passage du pion 7, la plus grande dimension du trou 14 étant orientée dans une direction sensiblement horizontale OX (figure 1) lorsque le lève-vitre et !a vitre 1 sont assemblés.The device comprises, for each of the two cursors 6 supporting the window 1, a part 13 interposed between the cursor 6 and the window 1. This part 13 comprises a body 23 in which is formed an oblong hole 14 for passage of the pin 7, the larger dimension of the hole 14 being oriented in a substantially horizontal direction OX (Figure 1) when the window regulator and! a window 1 are assembled.

Le trou oblong 14 a une longueur I supérieure au diamètre du trou circulaire 8 percé dans la vitre 1. Les extrémités 14a du trou (Fig. 3) 14 forment des secteurs circulaires adaptés au rayon du pion 7, pour lequel ils forment des butées d'arrêt latérales.The oblong hole 14 has a length I greater than the diameter of the circular hole 8 drilled in the window 1. The ends 14a of the hole (Fig. 3) 14 form circular sectors adapted to the radius of the pin 7, for which they form stops d 'side stops.

Le trou 14 est délimité par deux rampes 15 pourvues de deux faces planes respectives 17, 18 en vis-à-vis, placées l'une au-dessus de l'autre et traversant le trou 8 lorsque la pièce 13 est appliquée contre la vitre 1.The hole 14 is delimited by two ramps 15 provided with two respective flat faces 17, 18 facing each other, placed one above the other and passing through the hole 8 when the part 13 is applied against the glass 1.

La pièce 13 comporte un moyen anti-rotation par rapport à la vitre 1 qui, dans l'exemple décrit, est constitué par une patte 22 prolongeant le corps 23. La patte 22 s'étend jusqu'au bord inférieur 1a de la vitre 1 et est munie à son extrémité d'un profilé 24 en U agencé pour recevoir le bord inférieur 1a.The part 13 comprises an anti-rotation means with respect to the window 1 which, in the example described, consists of a tab 22 extending the body 23. The tab 22 extends to the lower edge 1 a of the window 1 and is provided at its end with a U-shaped section 24 arranged to receive the lower edge 1 a .

La pièce 13 est de plus munie de moyens d'appui élastique sur la vitre 1, permettant de plaquer la fourchette 9 contre la vitre.The part 13 is further provided with elastic support means on the window 1, making it possible to press the fork 9 against the window.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, ces moyens sont constitués par trois languettes élastiques 25, réparties angulairement de manière régulière, autour du trou 14. Ces languettes 25 sont inclinées sur le plan général du corps 23 et en direction de la vitre 1 et cambrées afin de pouvoir prendre appui élastiquement sur celle-ci, autour du trou 14, lorsque la pièce 13 est serrée entre la vitre 1 et le curseur 6.In the embodiment described, these means consist of three elastic tabs 25, angularly distributed in a regular manner, around the hole 14. These tabs 25 are inclined on the general plane of the body 23 and in the direction of the window 1 and arched in order to be able to bear elastically thereon, around the hole 14, when the part 13 is clamped between the window 1 and the slider 6.

L'assemblage du dispositif se fait de manière très simple, en positionnant tout d'abord la pièce 13 correctement par rapport au trou 8 et par engagement du bas de vitre 1a dans le profilé terminal 24; après quoi le curseur 6 et la pièce 13 étant placés du côté intérieur de la vitre 1 dans la porte, le monteur introduit le pion 7 du curseur 6 à travers les trous 8 et 14. Enfin le monteur vient encliqueter les dents 11 de la fourchette 9 sur l'extrémité du pion 7.The assembly of the device is very simple manner, by first positioning the part 13 correctly in relation to hole 8 and by engaging one of the bottom glass is in the terminal section 24; after which the cursor 6 and the part 13 being placed on the inside of the window 1 in the door, the fitter introduces the pin 7 of the slider 6 through the holes 8 and 14. Finally the fitter snaps the teeth 11 of the fork 9 on the end of pawn 7.

La pièce 13 autorise un jeu en X de la vitre 1 par rapport au curseur pion 6, 7, dans le trou oblong 14, ce qui permet d'absorber les défauts locaux de parallélisme des rails 2, 3 entre eux et par rapport aux coulisses 4, 5.The part 13 authorizes a clearance in X of the window 1 with respect to the slider pawn 6, 7, in the oblong hole 14, which makes it possible to absorb the local defects of parallelism of the rails 2, 3 between them and with respect to the slides 4, 5.

Lors de son débattement en X, le mouvement de la vitre 1 est amorti vers l'intérieur du véhicule par les languettes élastiques 25, qui en outre permettent de plaquer la fourchette 9 contre la face extérieure de la vitre 1, empêchant ainsi tout bruit parasite lors des courses de la vitre.When it moves in X, the movement of the window 1 is damped towards the interior of the vehicle by the elastic tongues 25, which furthermore press the fork 9 against the outside face of the window 1, thus preventing any noise during window races.

La pièce 13 transmet aussi les efforts en Z (direction perpendiculaire au plan OX-OY) du curseur-pion 6, 7 vers la vitre 1. De plus, l'orientation des languettes 25, qui sont inclinées par rapport au corps 23 et à la vitre 1, assure à la pièce 13 une élasticité qui permet de rattraper les jeux dans la direction transversale OY. Grâce à cette fonction supplémentaire, la pièce 13 permet de remplacer la mousse utilisée jusqu'à présent à cet effet.The part 13 also transmits the forces at Z (direction perpendicular to the plane OX-OY) from the slider-pin 6, 7 to the window 1. In addition, the orientation of the tongues 25, which are inclined relative to the body 23 and to the window 1, provides the piece 13 with an elasticity which makes it possible to make up for the clearances in the transverse direction OY. Thanks to this additional function, the part 13 makes it possible to replace the foam used hitherto for this purpose.

Le nombre des languettes 25 peut varier, en étant au minimum égal à un.The number of tabs 25 can vary, being at least equal to one.

L'invention est applicable aux lève-vitres à un seul rail de guidage car il subsiste dans ce type de lève-vitre des défauts de parallélisme entre les coulisses et entre le rail et les coulisses.The invention is applicable to window regulators with a single guide rail because in this type of window regulator there are defects in parallelism between the slides and between the rail and the slides.
