Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for spacing a member opening relative to a fixed element, and more particularly to a device for spacing a door relative to the frame of a body of a motor vehicle.
  • this spacing device is made of steel and comprises first fixing means on the opening element or the fixed element, and secondly, second fixing means on the fixed element or the opening element.
  • the second fastening means being extended by a guide comprising a contact zone decomposing into a first track and a second track extending on either side of displacement resistance means, the first fixing means being equipped at least one follower element adapted to move along the contact zone so that the opening element can be alternately arranged in the open position or in the closed position.
  • the displacement resistance means consist of a point projecting from the guide and obliging the person opening the opening member to exert additional forces in order to force the follower element to overcome this obstacle to come into contact with the guide. the second track. The opening element is then stabilized in the open position.
  • a major disadvantage presented by this type of spacer device lies in the fact that, during opening / closing manipulations subsequent to the cataphoresis and / or application of one or more layers of paint, grains or Scales are formed by the friction of the follower element against the contact zone which has been at least partially covered by one or more of these coatings during the previously identified steps. These scales are then brought, mainly under the effect of gravity and / or projection (s), to come to rest on a part of the frame located below, and will constitute visual defects once covered by a layer of paint for example.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the problem mentioned above, and for this purpose consists in a spacer (1) of an opening element (5) with respect to a fixed element (6), said spacer device comprising on the one hand, first fixing means (2) on the opening element or the fixed element, and secondly, second fixing means (4) on the fixed element or the opening element, the second fastening means being extended by a guide (3) comprising a contact zone decomposing into a first track (22) and a second track (23) extending on either side of displacement resistance means (21), the first fixing means being equipped with at least one follower element (90) designed to move along the contact zone so that the opening element can be alternately arranged in the closed position or in the position of opening according to whether the follower is in contact with e the first track or the second track, characterized in that the guide is designed so that the contact area is formed in a housing having at least one cover wall (17) protecting said contact area from any projection and / or any inadvertent soil deposit, said housing comprising two side walls (18) disposed on
  • the friction of the follower element against the contact zone is more generator of scales or polluting dusts likely to be deposited by gravity and / or projection (s) on the lower part of the frame.
  • each side wall has an inner face, and the contact surface is formed in said inner faces.
  • the guide has a substantially U-shaped inverted section once positioned in the opening element or in the corresponding fixed element.
  • the first fixing means comprise a stirrup.
  • the follower element comprises a substantially cylindrical sliding finger.
  • the displacement resistance means comprise at least one constriction provided in the contact zone.
  • the constriction is made using at least two elastically deformable elements located face-to-face.
  • each elastically deformable element is constituted by an internal shoulder forming a springboard in the direction of the second track.
  • the spacer device is made of plastic.
  • a spacer can be temporarily installed for the application steps of the various coatings on the opening element and / or the entire body, and then be replaced by a conventional metal spacing device, as described for example in the introductory part of the present application.
  • the spacer device is made of metal.
  • the fixing means and the guide can be made in the form of a one-piece body. Such a spacer device can then be installed permanently.
  • the present invention also relates to a guide for such a spacer device, characterized in that the guide comprises a contact zone decomposing into a first track and a second track extending on either side of means resistance to movement, in that the displacement resistance means comprise at least one constriction in the contact zone, and in that the guide is designed so that the contact zone is formed in a housing having at least one at least one covering wall protecting said contact zone from any projection and / or any inadvertent soil deposit, the housing comprising two side walls disposed on either side of the covering wall.
  • a spacer device 1 according to the invention is broken down into three distinct parts, preferably made of a plastic material, namely respectively a stirrup 2, a guide 3 passing through the stirrup 2, and a support element 4 to which is attached the guide 3. It must however be well understood that an alternative embodiment could consist in the fact of making the support member 4 and the guide 3 integrally.
  • the stirrup 2 and the support element 4 constitute respectively the first fixing means of the spacer device 1 on a fixed element, in this case a frame 6 of a motor vehicle, and the second fixing means of the spreading device 1 on an opening element, in this case a door 5.
  • the door 5 is articulated around the frame 6 by means of a plurality of hinges 30.
  • the stirrup 2 is made in one piece and comprises a substantially rectangular edge 7 delimiting a central opening 8. On either side of the latter, each long side is extended symmetrically by a fastening zone comprising a central bore 9 .
  • a follower element made in the form of a substantially cylindrical sliding finger 10 disposed in the plane of the stirrup 2, protrudes from one of the long sides and opens into the central opening 8.
  • This sliding finger 10 is arranged so as to extend parallel to a line joining the centers of the two bores 9.
  • the support element 4 comprises an elongate plate 11 having an orifice 12 at each of its two ends, from which a l-shaped partition 13 protrudes.
  • This partition 13 comprises a base 15 surmounted by a pin 16.
  • the guide 3 is in the form of a slightly curved elongated piece, and has a U-shaped cross-section.
  • this guide 3 comprises a covering wall 17, as well as two side walls 18 arranged on both sides. other of said cover wall 17, and perpendicular thereto.
  • the width of the covering wall 17 is chosen so that the smallest distance separating the inner faces of the two side walls 18 is substantially equal to the diameter of the sliding finger 10.
  • This guide 3 has a first end ending in a bore 19 designed to cooperate with the stud 16 by conjugation of shapes. The guide 3 can therefore rotate to a certain extent around the stud 16 so as to make the spacing device 1 adaptable and therefore usable on different types of vehicle.
  • This guide 3 also has a second end constituted by a semi-cylindrical partition 20 forming a stop.
  • each inner face of the side walls 18 has an internal shoulder forming a springboard 21.
  • These two springboards 21 face each other, and act as displacement resistance means in the form of a throttling. More specifically, the internal faces constitute a zone of contact with the sliding finger 10, and this contact zone is broken down into, on the one hand, a first track 22 extending from the first end of the guide 3 to said springboards 21, and on the other hand, a second track 23 going schematically from said springboards 21 to the vicinity of the partition 20.
  • the springboards 21 are designed to have an ascending slope towards the second track 23.
  • the mounting of the spacer device 1 on the vehicle is carried out as follows.
  • the second end of the guide 3 has been previously slid through the central opening 8 of the stirrup 2.
  • the sliding finger 10 is therefore in contact with the internal walls of the side walls 18, preferably at the first track 22.
  • the stirrup 2 is first fixed in an amount of the frame 6 by means of two fastening screws 26 inserted in the bores 9 of the stirrup 2 and in two corresponding bores formed in said amount.
  • the latter has two openings 24, 25 facing each other in order to allow the passage of the first end of the guide 3.
  • the stirrup 2 has been fixed so that the covering wall 17 of the guide 3 is arranged above the sliding finger 10.
  • the covering wall 17 and the side walls 18 then constitute a tunnel-shaped housing in which the sliding finger 10, as well as the inner faces of the side walls 18, are protected from any type of projections and / or unwanted soiling that may occur for example during the steps of applying a or layers of paint. Consequently, the friction of the sliding finger 10 against the contact zone of the guide 3 does not generate any flake or dust liable to deposit, under the effect of gravity and / or projection (s), on parts of the buildings located below.
  • the springboards 21 constitute a point of resistance which, to be overcome, requires an increase in the forces exerted on the door 5. In doing so, the sliding finger 10 can cross the throttle causing the elastic deformation of the springboards 21 so as to widen the passage.
  • the support element and the guide may alternatively be made in one piece.
  • the degree of latitude consisting in the possible rotation of the bore 19 around the pin 16 will thereby be suppressed.
