Definitions
- the present invention relates to a handle for controlling a vehicle door lock.
- the present invention relates to a handle of the type comprising a connecting structure fitted to the vehicle door; a lever hinged to the connecting structure and gripped by the user; a user recognition device for reading an identification code carried by the user; and a pushbutton switch operated manually by the user to set the lock to safety-off mode.
- the pushbutton switch is fitted to the handle, and is operated from the outside directly by the user acting on a deformable seal protecting the switch, or is operated by means of a mechanical transmission interposed between the switch and the lever, so that the user activates the switch and releases the lock over a first and second portion of the rotation of the lever respectively.
- said connecting means comprise guide and slide means permitting translation of said movable control lever in a direction substantially parallel to said switching direction in order to activate said control device.
- Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates a handle (shown partly) for controlling a lock (not shown) of a vehicle door 3 having an outer body 5.
- Handle 1 comprises a connecting structure 7 fitted, in known manner not described in detail, to an inner frame of door 3; and a movable control lever 8 connected to structure 7 and which, in use, is gripped by a user's hand to control the lock of door 3.
- structure 7 comprises two opposite end guide walls 9, both extending parallel to a direction A crosswise with respect to body 5, and defining a guide seat 11.
- structure 7 also comprises a prismatic locating and hinge pin 13 extending between and integrally with walls 9, along an axis B perpendicular to walls 9 and to direction A, and transversely separated from body 5; and a stop portion 15 extending between walls 9, parallel to axis B and in an intermediate position between pin 13 and body 5.
- Structure 7 has an opening 20, which is closed by an elastically deformable protective seal 21 forming part of handle 1 and interposed between structure 7 and movable control lever 8.
- Movable control lever 8 comprises a hollow outer portion 17 gripped by the user; and a substantially platelike fork 19 extending from portion 17 and through opening 20 into structure 7, and surrounded by seal 21.
- fork 19 carries two opposite lateral appendixes 23, each projecting parallel to axis B and adjacent to a respective wall 9, and comprises two arms 25 and 26 extending crosswise to and on opposite sides of pin 13, and separated from each other by a distance D1 greater than the dimension D2 of pin 13 measured parallel to direction A, so that arms 25 and 26 engage seat 11 in sliding manner parallel to direction A.
- pin 13 and walls 9 form part of an assembly 29 for connecting movable control lever 8 to structure 7, and which comprises a guide and slide coupling defined by walls 9 and fork 19 to permit translation of lever 8 in a direction substantially parallel to direction A, and a hinged coupling defined by fork 19 and pin 13 to permit rotation of lever 8 about hinge axis B and with respect to structure 7.
- Assembly 29 also comprises a U-shaped elastic plate member 31, which in turn comprises a first arm 32 interposed between stop portion 15 and arm 25 adjacent to portion 15, and a second arm 33 interposed between arm 25 and pin 13.
- handle 1 also comprises a known detecting device 35 for detecting the presence of the user about to open door 3. More specifically, device 35 comprises an aerial 36 (shown partly), which is housed inside hollow portion 17, is connected by a cable 36a to a known central control unit (not shown), and provides, in use, for reading an identification code carried by the user, and for transmitting an identification signal to the central control unit.
- a known detecting device 35 for detecting the presence of the user about to open door 3. More specifically, device 35 comprises an aerial 36 (shown partly), which is housed inside hollow portion 17, is connected by a cable 36a to a known central control unit (not shown), and provides, in use, for reading an identification code carried by the user, and for transmitting an identification signal to the central control unit.
- handle 1 also comprises a control device 37 housed inside structure 7 and which is operated manually from the outside to switch the lock electrically to safety-on or safety-off mode, once the identification code is recognized, so as to disable or enable release of the lock.
- Control device 37 comprises a pushbutton switch 38. connected, in known manner not described in detail, to structure 7 in a position adjacent to one of walls 9; and a switch lever 40 resting directly on one of appendixes 23 and movable in a switching direction C, substantially parallel to direction A and perpendicular to axis B, to activate the switch when lever 8 is operated.
- device 35 reads the user-carried identification code in known manner, and the central control unit enables control of the lock safety (not shown).
- the user pushes on lever 8; elastic member 31 exerts thrust in opposition to that activating switch lever 40; fork 19 slides inside guide seat 11 in a direction parallel to switching direction C, so as to directly switch device 37; and elastic member 31 provides for recalling lever 8.
- handle 1 is obviously extremely easy to use, by device 37 being switched by simply pressing lever 8 against structure 7, i.e. with no seals on which to act manually to activate control device 37.
- handle 1 has no contoured seals which might possibly impair the appearance of the handle.
- handle 1 is extremely straightforward, and hence cheap, to produce and assemble, by comprising a relatively small number of component parts and having no complex mechanical transmissions between lever 8 and control device 37. For the same reason, handle 1 is also extremely efficient and reliable.
- handle 1 The efficiency and reliability of handle 1 and, in particular, of device 37 are further enhanced by device 37 of handle 1 being fully protected against external agents by seal 21.
- provision may be made for a user detecting and/or recognition device other than device 35 described by way of example; or aerial 36 may be dispensed with or located in a position other than as shown.
- control device 37 of handle 1 may also control full opening of the lock, especially when the lock, like control of the lock safety, is also opened electrically.
