Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'une porte de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a device for fixing of an external door opening control of motor vehicle.

Généralement, les commandes d'ouverture extérieure d'une porte de véhicule automobile sont formées par un ensemble comprenant notamment un boítier fixé sur la porte et sur lequel est monté un organe de commande de l'ouverture de ladite porte.Generally, exterior opening controls of a motor vehicle door are formed by an assembly comprising in particular a housing fixed on the door and on which is mounted an opening control member from said door.

Cet organe de commande est formé par une poignée se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'une palette.This control member is formed by a handle for example in the form of a pallet.

Actuellement, dans la plupart des cas, le boítier supportant l'organe de commande monté sur le panneau externe de la porte est fixé par vissage sur une ou deux pattes prévues dans une découpe ménagée dans le panneau de porte.Currently, in most cases, the housing supporting the control member mounted on the panel external of the door is fixed by screwing on one or two tabs provided in a cutout in the panel door.

A cet effet, un insert ou une vis prémontée sur le boítier de la commande d'ouverture de porte est centré dans un orifice prévu sur la patte de fixation correspondante et un écrou bloque l'ensemble en position sur le panneau de porte.For this purpose, an insert or a screw pre-mounted on the door opening control unit is centered in a hole provided on the corresponding mounting bracket and a nut locks the assembly in position on the door panel.

Ce genre de montage nécessite donc des pièces supplémentaires telles que des vis et des écrous et le temps de montage est relativement long du fait de la mise en place de ces vis et de ces écrous et également à cause de l'opération de vissage elle-même.This kind of assembly therefore requires parts additional such as screws and nuts and time assembly is relatively long due to the installation of these screws and nuts and also because of the operation screwing itself.

De plus, dans certains cas, la disposition des différents éléments à l'intérieur de la porte fait qu'il est très difficile, voire impossible de placer une visseuse.In addition, in some cases, the arrangement of different elements inside the door makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to place a screwdriver.

L'invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de fixation d'une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'une porte de véhicule automobile qui permet de diminuer le temps de montage de la commande d'ouverture sur le panneau de porte et également de réduire les coûts grâce à la réduction du nombre de pièces et notamment à la suppression des vis et des écrous.The object of the invention is to avoid these drawbacks by proposing a device for fixing an order motor vehicle door exterior opening which reduces the assembly time of the control opening on the door panel and also to reduce costs thanks to the reduction in the number of parts and in particular removing screws and nuts.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'une porte de véhicule automobile, du type comprenant un boítier appliqué sur la face externe du bord d'une découpe ménagée dans la porte et supportant un organe de commande d'ouverture de ladite porte, caractérisé en ce que le boítier est maintenu par pincement d'au moins une portion du bord de la découpe entre ledit boítier et une pièce appliquée sur la face interne du bord de cette découpe et formée par un étrier comportant au moins un doigt s'étendant parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la porte et destiné à pénétrer dans un pontet prévu sur la face arrière du boítier,The invention therefore relates to a device for fixing of an external door opening control motor vehicle, of the type comprising an applied housing on the outer face of the edge of a cutout in the door and supporting an opening control member said door, characterized in that the housing is maintained by pinching at least a portion of the edge of the cutout between said housing and a part applied to the internal face from the edge of this cutout and formed by a stirrup comprising at least one finger extending parallel to the direction longitudinal of the door and intended to penetrate into a trigger guard provided on the rear face of the housing,

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • la forme et les dimensions de l'étrier et du boítier sont déterminées pour que ledit doigt et ledit pontet exercent, d'une part, une force plaquant le boítier sur la face externe du bord de la découpe et, d'autre part, par réaction, une force opposée plaquant l'étrier sur la face interne du bord de ladite découpe,
  • le montage de l'étrier sur le boítier s'effectue par déplacement de l'étrier selon une direction longitudinale de la porte,
  • le dispositif comporte des moyens de blocage empêchant un démontage intempestif de l'étrier,
  • les moyens de blocage sont formés par une languette élastique coopérant avec une butée prévue sur la porte.
According to other characteristics of the invention:
  • the shape and the dimensions of the stirrup and of the case are determined so that said finger and said trigger guard exert, on the one hand, a force pressing the case on the external face of the edge of the cutout and, on the other hand, by reaction, an opposite force plating the stirrup on the internal face of the edge of said cutout,
  • the mounting of the stirrup on the housing is carried out by displacement of the stirrup in a longitudinal direction of the door,
  • the device comprises blocking means preventing inadvertent disassembly of the stirrup,
  • the locking means are formed by an elastic tongue cooperating with a stop provided on the door.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique en élévation d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile destinée à recevoir une commande d'ouverture fixée par un dispositif conforme à l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue schématique en coupe transversale de la commande d'ouverture fixée par le dispositif conforme à l'invention,
  • la Fig. 3 est une vue schématique en perspective du boítier de la commande d'ouverture,
  • la Fig. 4 est une vue schématique en perspective de l'étrier du dispositif de fixation de la commande d'ouverture.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic elevation view of a door of a motor vehicle intended to receive an opening command fixed by a device according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view in cross section of the opening control fixed by the device according to the invention,
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the housing of the opening control,
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the stirrup of the device for fixing the opening control.

Sur la Fig. 1, on a représenté schématiquement une porte 1 d'un véhicule automobile qui comporte, en façade, c'est à dire sur la face externe du panneau 2, une découpe 3 destinée à recevoir une commande d'ouverture de la porte 1 maintenue sur ladite découpe 3 au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation conforme à l'invention.In Fig. 1, there is shown schematically a door 1 of a motor vehicle which comprises, on the front, that is to say on the outer face of the panel 2, a cutout 3 intended to receive a command to open the door 1 held on said cutout 3 by means of a device fixing according to the invention.

Ainsi que représenté sur les Figs. 2 et 3, la commande d'ouverture de la porte 1 comprend notamment un boítier 10 destiné à être appliqué sur la face externe du bord 3a de la découpe 3 ménagée dans le panneau 2 de la porte 1.As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the door 1 opening control includes in particular a housing 10 intended to be applied to the external face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3 formed in panel 2 of the door 1.

Le boítier 10 supporte un organe de commande de l'ouverture de la porte 1 qui, dans l'exemple représenté à la Fig. 2, est constitué par une palette 11.The housing 10 supports a control member for the opening of door 1 which, in the example shown in Fig. 2, is constituted by a pallet 11.

A cet effet, le boítier 10 comporte sur sa face interne 10a deux pattes 12 parallèles et s'étendant vers le haut.For this purpose, the housing 10 has on its face internal 10 has two legs 12 parallel and extending towards the high.

Chaque patte 12 est munie à sa partie supérieure d'un orifice transversal 12a pour le passage d'un axe, comme on le verra ultérieurement.Each tab 12 is provided at its upper part a transverse orifice 12a for the passage of an axis, as we will see it later.

La palette 11 comporte sur sa face arrière deux bras 13 parallèles et s'étendant également vers le haut.Pallet 11 has two rear sides arms 13 parallel and also extending upwards.

Chaque bras 13 est muni à sa partie supérieure d'un orifice 13a pour le passage d'un axe et traverse le boítier 10 par une ouverture 14 ménagée dans ledit boítier 10.Each arm 13 is provided at its upper part an orifice 13a for the passage of an axis and crosses the housing 10 through an opening 14 formed in said housing 10.

La palette 11 est montée sur le boítier 10 en introduisant chaque bras 13 dans une ouverture 14 de manière à positionner l'extrémité supérieure de chaque bras 13 en regard de l'extrémité supérieure d'une patte 12.The pallet 11 is mounted on the housing 10 in inserting each arm 13 into an opening 14 so to position the upper end of each arm 13 in look at the upper end of a tab 12.

Ensuite, un axe, non représenté, est introduit dans l'orifice 12a d'une patte 12 et dans l'orifice 13a d'un bras 13 adjacent de telle manière que la palette 11 pivote autour de ces axes et commande, lors de ce pivotement, l'ouverture de la porte par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme approprié et relié à ladite palette 11.Then, an axis, not shown, is introduced in hole 12a of a tab 12 and in hole 13a of a arm 13 adjacent so that the pallet 11 pivots around these axes and controls, during this pivoting, the opening of the door through an appropriate mechanism and connected to said pallet 11.

Le boítier 10 comporte également sur sa face arrière 10a deux pontets, respectivement 15a et 15b, parallèles et munis chacun d'un passage axial, respectivement 16a et 16b, s'étendant parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la porte 1.The housing 10 also has on its rear face 10a two bridges, respectively 15a and 15b, parallel and each provided with an axial passage, respectively 16a and 16b, extending parallel to the longitudinal direction from door 1.

Ainsi que représenté à la Fig. 2, le contour extérieur du boítier 10 supportant la palette 11 est placé sur la face externe du bord 3a de la découpe 3 et est maintenu par pincement de ce bord 3a entre le boítier 10 et une pièce 20 appliquée sur la face interne du bord 3a de cette découpe 3.As shown in FIG. 2, the outer contour of the housing 10 supporting the pallet 11 is placed on the outer face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3 and is maintained by pinching this edge 3a between the housing 10 and a part 20 applied to the internal face of the edge 3a of this cutout 3.

Pour cela, la pièce 20 est formée par un étrier 21 de longueur inférieure à la longueur du boítier 10 et dont le contour externe ne recouvre qu'une partie de la face interne du bord 3a de la découpe 3.For this, the part 20 is formed by a stirrup 21 of length less than the length of the housing 10 and whose external contour covers only part of the face internal edge 3a of cutout 3.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté à la Fig. 4, l'étrier 21 comporte deux doigts, respectivement 22a et 22b, s'étendant parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la porte 1 et destinés à pénétrer chacun dans le passage 16a ou 16b d'un pontet 15a ou 15b ménagé sur la face arrière 10a du boítier 10.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the stirrup 21 has two fingers, respectively 22a and 22b, extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of door 1 and intended to each enter the passage 16a or 16b of a trigger guard 15a or 15b formed on the face rear 10a of the housing 10.

Le doigt 22a est disposé en regard d'une échancrure 23 prévue sur l'étrier 21 et le doigt 22b est disposé sur l'extrémité 21a de l'étrier 21.The finger 22a is arranged opposite a notch 23 provided on the bracket 21 and the finger 22b is disposed on the end 21a of the stirrup 21.

La largeur des doigts 22a et 22b est inférieure à la largeur des passages 16a et 16b des pontets 15a et 15b de façon à permettre un déplacement transversal de l'étrier 21 lors du montage de cet étrier 21 sur le boítier 10.The width of the fingers 22a and 22b is less the width of the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b so as to allow transverse movement of the stirrup 21 during the mounting of this bracket 21 on the housing 10.

La forme et les dimensions de l'étrier 21 et du boítier 10 sont déterminées pour que les doigts 22a et 22b et les pontets 15a et 15b exercent, d'une part, une force plaquant le boítier 10 sur la face externe du bord 3a de la découpe 3 et, d'autre part, par réaction, une force opposée plaquant l'étrier 21 sur la face interne du bord 3a de ladite découpe 3. The shape and dimensions of the stirrup 21 and the housing 10 are determined so that the fingers 22a and 22b and the bridges 15a and 15b exert, on the one hand, a force pressing the housing 10 on the outer face of the edge 3a of the cut 3 and, on the other hand, by reaction, an opposite force plating the stirrup 21 on the internal face of the edge 3a of said cutout 3.

Le montage de l'étrier 21 sur le boítier 10 est réalisé de la façon suivante.The mounting of the bracket 21 on the housing 10 is as follows.

Tout d'abord, le boítier 10 supportant la palette 11 est placé sur la face interne du bord 3a de la découpe 3 et l'étrier 21 est déplacé selon une direction longitudinale de la porte 1 pour que les doigts 22a et 22b pénètrent dans les passages 16a et 16b des pontets 15a et 15b.First, the housing 10 supporting the pallet 11 is placed on the internal face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3 and the stirrup 21 is moved in a longitudinal direction of door 1 so that fingers 22a and 22b penetrate in the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b.

Pour cela, l'étrier 21 est écrasé légèrement contre la face interne du panneau 2 de la porte 1 de telle manière que les doigts 22a et 22b soient positionnés dans l'axe des passages 16a et 16b des pontets 15a et 15b.For this, the stirrup 21 is slightly crushed against the inner face of panel 2 of door 1 of such so that the fingers 22a and 22b are positioned in the axis of the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b.

Dès que les doigts 22a et 22b sont en position dans les passages 16a et 16b des pontets 15a et 15b, l'étrier 21 est relâché et revient à sa position initiale, ainsi que représentée à la Fig. 2.As soon as the fingers 22a and 22b are in position in passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b, the stirrup 21 is released and returns to its initial position, as shown in FIG. 2.

Les doigts 22a et 22b se déplacent vers l'arrière par rapport à la face externe de la porte 1, si bien que le rebord de l'étrier 21 s'appuie sur la face interne du bord 3a de la découpe 3, et tirent le boítier 10 également vers l'arrière en le plaquant sur le bord 3a de ladite découpe 3.Fingers 22a and 22b move backwards relative to the outside of door 1, so that the edge of the stirrup 21 rests on the internal face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3, and pull the housing 10 also backwards by pressing it on the edge 3a of said cutout 3.

Ainsi, le bord 3a de la découpe 3 est pincé entre le boítier 10 et l'étrier 21, ce qui assure la fixation du boítier 10 et de l'organe de commande de l'ouverture de la porte 1 du véhicule automobile.Thus, the edge 3a of the cutout 3 is pinched between the housing 10 and the bracket 21, which ensures the fixing of the housing 10 and of the control member for the opening of door 1 of the motor vehicle.

Enfin, le dispositif de fixation comporte des moyens de blocage empêchant un démontage intempestif de l'étrier 21.Finally, the fixing device includes blocking means preventing inadvertent disassembly of caliper 21.

Comme représenté à la Fig. 4, ces moyens de blocage sont formés par une languette élastique 25 coopérant avec une butée 26 prévue sur le boítier 10 (fig. 3).As shown in Fig. 4, these blocking means are formed by an elastic tongue 25 cooperating with a stop 26 provided on the housing 10 (fig. 3).

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention permet de diminuer le temps de montage d'une commande d'ouverture extérieure de porte sur le panneau de cette porte et ne nécessite aucun organe de vissage ce qui permet également de diminuer les coûts du fait de la suppression des vis et des écrous. The fixing device according to the invention allows reduce the assembly time of an opening command door outside on the door panel and do not requires no screwing device which also allows reduce costs by removing screws and nuts.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention permet aussi le montage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure de porte dans des zones difficiles d'accès pour des outils de vissage.The fixing device according to the invention allows also the mounting of the exterior opening control door in hard to reach areas for tools of screwing.
