Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a handle bracket, in particular, for an automotive vehicle door handle.
  • the invention further relates to an automotive vehicle door handle and corresponding assembling and disassembling methods.
  • Handle brackets and handle grips are components of the access mechanism system of the vehicle doors.
  • Handle brackets generally comprise kinematics such as a lever.
  • the lever is rotatably mounted in the bracket and configured to be actuated by a handle grip and in turn actuate an unlatching mechanism of a vehicle door, such as a Bowden cable.
  • a handle grip and in turn actuate an unlatching mechanism of a vehicle door, such as a Bowden cable.
  • the lever is configured to be mechanically connected to a handle column of the handle grip on a vehicle door when mounting the handle.
  • the kinematics may also comprise devices of the bracket configured to prevent unintentional openings of the door due to accelerations of the handle grip for example in case of side impacts.
  • the assembling method for handle comprises disposing the bracket on an inner side of a vehicle door panel and the handle grip on an outer side of a vehicle door panel and mechanically connecting the handle grip to the lever of the bracket.
  • the lever may not be in the correct position for connecting it with the handle grip. Indeed, the operators that install the parts have to move the kinematics in order to allow the handle column to reach the lever. This disadvantage significantly slows down the assembling of the handle.
  • a handle bracket for an automotive vehicle door handle comprising:
  • the invention also relates to an automotive vehicle door handle comprising
  • the invention further relates to a method for assembling an automotive vehicle door handle comprising the following steps
  • the invention further relates to a method for disassembling an automotive vehicle door handle comprising
  • the invention relates to a bracket 1 that comprises a supporting part of the handle.
  • the bracket 1 is configured to be disposed inside the door and comprises devices useful for the functioning of the handle.
  • the bracket 1 comprises a lever 2 rotatably mounted in around a rotation axis in the bracket 1.
  • the bracket 1 preferably comprises a stop limiting the rotation of the lever 2.
  • the lever 2 is configured to be mechanically connected to a handle grip 5 via a handle column of the handle grip 5.
  • the lever 2 is further configured to be mechanically connected to an unlatching mechanism, such as a Bowden cable (not represented).
  • an unlatching mechanism such as a Bowden cable (not represented).
  • the lever 2 is configured to move between a lever delivery and a lever operating position.
  • the lever delivery position the lever is secured in the bracket 1 and enables the handle column to reach an operating position where the handle column may be mechanically connected to the lever 2 without being disturbed by movements of the lever 2.
  • the lever operating position the lever 2 is unsecured and may be rotated about its rotation axis.
  • the lever 2 comprises a flexible leg 3 extending in a direction non parallel to the rotation axis of the lever 2, in particular in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the lever 2.
  • the flexible leg 3 also has an operating position 30 and a delivery position 32 corresponding to the respective positions of the lever 2. In the leg operating position 30, the flexible leg 3 is free in the bracket 1. In the leg delivery position 32, the flexible leg 3 is engaged in a seat 10 disposed in the bracket 1.
  • the seat 10 comprises at least a first wall 11 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of flexible leg 3, and disposed between the leg's operating position 30 and the leg's delivery position 32.
  • the seat 10 further comprises a second wall 12 perpendicular to the first wall 11.
  • the first and second walls 11,12 form a concavity for receiving the leg 3 in the leg delivery position 32.
  • the flexible leg 3 is configured to be stretched out of the leg operating position 30 unto the leg delivery position 32, held at least by the wall 11.
  • the flexible leg 3 is configured to return from the leg delivery position 32 unto the leg operating position 30, when the leg 3 is moved beyond the wall 11.
  • the flexible leg 3 is first moved along the wall 11 so as to reach a leg intermediate position 31 before being moved unto the leg delivery position 32 or the leg operating position 30.
  • the leg occupies a normal functioning position 33 corresponding to the position enabling the opening of the door.
  • the said normal position 33 is disposed on the same side of the wall 11 of the seat.
  • the normal functioning position 33 is sensibly aligned with the operating position 30.
  • the bracket 1 comprises an arm 4 configured to move between an arm delivery position shown in figures 1 and 2 , and an arm operating position shown in figures 3 and 4 .
  • the arm 4 projects adjacent to the wall 11, such that the arm 4 extends in the continuation of an end of the wall 11.
  • the arm 4 is oblique with respect to the wall 11.
  • the arm 4 is retracted from the wall 11.
  • the arm 4 is configured to project on the path of the flexible leg 3, between the leg operating position 30 and the leg intermediate position 31.
  • the flexible leg and the arm 4 are configured such that the flexible leg 3 can slide on arm 4 and thus be stretched toward the leg delivery position 32 as the lever 2 is rotated. More particularly, when the arm 4 is projected in the arm delivery position, the flexible leg 3 of the lever 2 is forced to be housed in the seat 10 of the bracket as shown in figure 2 .
  • the flexible leg 3 When the flexible leg 3 is in the intermediate position 31 and the arm 4 is retracted, the flexible leg 3 returns to its non-stretched state which is the leg operating position 30. More particularly, when the arm is retracted in the arm delivery position, the arm 4 is out of the way of the flexible leg 3. The flexible leg 3 once actuated is thus free to move out of the seat 10 of the bracket as shown in figure 3 , and functions normally between the leg operating position 30 and the leg normal functioning position 33.
  • the arm 4 enables to stretch the flexible leg 3 without having to insert a tool in the bracket to move the flexible leg 3 towards the seat 10, or out of the seat 10. This leads to a quick disposition of the lever 2 in the delivery position and thereby a quick disassembling and assembling method.
  • bracket 1 is of general form known as such in the prior art except from the features of the present invention.
  • the arm 4 is part of a fork 40 mounted in the bracket 1.
  • the fork 40 enables to control the movements of the arm 4 from outside the bracket.
  • the fork 40 may be configured such that a movement of the fork 40 towards the bracket 1 moves the arm 4 in the arm delivery position, and a movement of the fork 40 out of the bracket 1 moves the arm 4 in the arm operating position.
  • the fork 40 may comprise a threaded part mechanically connected to the arm 4.
  • Such a threaded part is configured such that when the threaded part is turned in a given sense, the arm 4 is retracted from the seat; and when the threaded part is turned in the opposite sense, the arm 4 is projected adjacent to the wall 11 of the seat 10.
  • the fork 40 is screwed.
  • the arm 4 is then retracted in the arm operating position and the arm 4 is out of the way of the flexible leg 3.
  • the handle is then free to be used normally by an user.
  • the fork 40 is unscrewed.
  • the arm 4 is then projected in the delivery position, and enables to put back the flexible leg 3 in the seat 10, when the lever 2 is actuated.
  • Another system for moving the fork 40 may be used such as at least one push button.
  • a handle grip 5 is configured to be mechanically connected to the lever 2 by means of a handle column, and the lever 2 may then be actuated by actuating the handle grip.
  • the lever 2 are configured such that the lever 2 may be actuated so as to move between the lever operating position and the lever delivery position, by actuating the handle grip 5 without having to insert a tool in the bracket to move the lever 2 accordingly.
  • the method for assembling an automotive vehicle door handle comprising the bracket 1 starts with the steps of (a) providing a handle bracket 1 of the invention, and disposing the bracket 1 on an inner side of a vehicle door panel.
  • the assembling method further comprises the step of (b) mounting the handle grip 5 in the handle from outside or the door panel, and connecting mechanically the handle grip 5 to the lever 2 by means of the handle column.
  • the handle grip 5 is configured to actuate the lever 2
  • the lever 2 is configured to in turn actuate an unlatching mechanism of a vehicle door.
  • the assembling method further comprises the step of (c) actuating the fork such that the arm 4 is retracted from its projecting position adjacent to the seat 10. More particularly, in step (c) the fork 4 is screwed such that the arm 4 is retracted in the arm operating position.
  • the assembling method further comprises the step of (d) actuating the handle grip 5 and thereby actuating the lever 2 so as to move a stretched flexible leg 3 out of the a leg delivery the position 32 in the seat 10 unto the leg operating position 30.
  • the method for disassembling an automotive vehicle door handle comprising the bracket 1 starts with the steps of (e) actuating the fork 40 for example by turning a threaded part of the fork 40.
  • the arm 4 of the fork is thus moved in the projecting position adjacent to the seat 10. More particularly, in step (e) the fork 4 is unscrewed such that the arm 4 is projected in the arm delivery position.
  • the disassembling method further comprises the step of (f) actuating, in particular pulling the handle grip 5 and thereby actuating the lever 2 so as to move the flexible leg 3 from the leg operating position 30 to the normal functioning position 33.
  • the flexible leg 3 then slides on the projecting arm 4 according to the arrow f 2 to the intermediate position 31; and actuating, in particular releasing the handle grip 5 and thereby actuating the lever 2 so as to move the flexible leg 3 from the leg intermediate position 31 unto the leg delivery position 32 by following the arrow f 3 .
  • the leg 3 is thus stretched and engaged in the seat 10.
  • the disassembling method further comprises the step of (g) disconnecting mechanically the handle grip 5 from the lever 2, and (h) disassembling a handle grip 5 from the handle bracket 1.
