- This method allows faster assembly and less difficulty of such a device.
- the figure 1 shows the assembly of a handle 1 connected to a lock 2 via a rod 3.
- the rod 3 is integral with the handle 1 via one of its ends and integral with the lock 2 via its other end.
- the one -ci grips the handle 1 by the gripping element 5, which causes a movement of the rod 3, which itself causes the opening lever 4 of the lock 2 in motion and thus freeing the door to open motor vehicle.
- a clip allowing the rod 3 to be held on the opening lever 4 of the lock 2 is detailed in the following figures. Thus, this will make it possible to understand the various advantages provided by it.
- the figure 2 shows a rod 3 being inserted into an opening lever 4 of lock 2.
- the opening lever 4 has a recess 6 receiving the rod 3. It can be seen that the rod 3 can have several bends 7.

This is why the opening lever 4 has a bent angle 8 allowing the reception of the rod 3 and its trapping in the opening lever 4. This results in the fact that the forces undergone by the rod 3, for example during the opening or locking of a motor vehicle opening, are taken directly by the lever. opening 4.

- fix under elastic stress in the assembled position the clip on the opening lever. More preferably, the noise-reduction means comprise a recess, said recess being partially delimited by an elastic wall having a rounded surface configured to be in contact and elastically under stress with the rod in the assembled position.
Ces moyens antibruit permettent d'éviter le bruit de la tringle sur l'agrafe lors du roulage.These anti-noise means make it possible to avoid the noise of the rod on the clip during rolling.
Encore plus préférentiellement, les moyens antibruit comprennent un ergot situé dans au moins une des rainures, de préférence chacune des rainures, de l'agrafe.Even more preferably, the anti-noise means comprise a lug located in at least one of the grooves, preferably each of the grooves, of the clip.

Plus précisément, la première branche 24 de la tringle 3 coopère avec le berceau 11 de l'agrafe 9 et la deuxième branche 25 de la tringle 3 coopère avec l'orifice 21 de l'agrafe 9.A
Cette enveloppe sensiblement cylindrique est destinée à maintenir en prise, de préférence élastiquement, la première branche 24 de la tringle 3. De plus, cette enveloppe cylindrique est ouverte d'un côté et fermé de l'autre, formant ainsi un U. La
Un clip 12 est situé en amont de l'agrafe 9, se trouvant donc en direction du sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4. Ce clip 12 a la forme d'un crochet disposé dans une direction perpendiculaire à la direction d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4. Lorsque l'agrafe 9 est insérée dans le levier d'ouverture 4, le clip 12, par l'intermédiaire de son crochet, se clippe à la surface extérieure du levier d'ouverture 4 en regard du sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4. Ce clip 12 est configuré pour clipper l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4 par un mouvement unique translatif. Ce mode de clippage permet un montage plus simple et plus rapide du mécanisme.A
L'agrafe 9 comprend également trois moyens antibruit, le premier moyen antibruit 13 est un ergot situé en aval de l'agrafe 9 sur sa surface extérieure, perpendiculairement au sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4 et configuré pour entrer en contact avec la surface extérieure de l'élément coudé 8 du levier d'ouverture 4 perpendiculaire au sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4. Le premier moyen antibruit 13 présente un angle d'inclinaison en direction du sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4 permettant le maintien efficace de l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4.The
Le deuxième moyen antibruit 14 est disposé en regard du premier moyen antibruit 13. C'est la surface du deuxième moyen antibruit 14 en regard du premier moyen antibruit 13 qui est configurée pour être en contact avec la tringle 3. En effet, cette surface est de forme arrondie, permettant le plaquage de la tringle 3 sur l'agrafe 9. Le deuxième moyen antibruit 14 présente un évidement 15 lui permettant d'exercer un effet ressort. Le troisième moyen antibruit 16 est également un ergot situé sur chaque rainure 22 et configuré pour être en contact avec la languette 23 correspondante du levier d'ouverture 4.The second anti-noise means 14 is arranged opposite the first anti-noise means 13. It is the surface of the second anti-noise means 14 opposite the first anti-noise means 13 which is configured to be in contact with the
La
Le moyen antibruit 13 est en contact avec le levier d'ouverture 4 évitant ainsi le bruit de l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4 lors du roulage. Le moyen antibruit 14 est en contact avec la tringle 3 et présente un évidement 15 permettant d'éviter tout bruit de la tringle 3 sur l'agrafe 9 lors du roulage. Enfin, le troisième moyen antibruit 16 est en contact avec la languette 23 correspondante du levier d'ouverture 4 permettant d'éviter tout bruit de la tringle 3 sur l'agrafe 9 lors du roulage.The noise-reduction means 13 is in contact with the
Une tringle 3 est insérée dans l'agrafe 9 et donc également dans le levier d'ouverture 4 de par leur solidarisation. L'insertion de la tringle 3 dans l'agrafe 9 est facilitée par les parois 19 de l'agrafe 9. La tringle 3 est donc emprisonnée dans le levier d'ouverture 4 par l'intermédiaire de l'agrafe 9 de par le clippage de l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4 mais également par les moyens antibruit. Par cet emprisonnement, les efforts subis par la tringle 3 sont repris directement par le levier d'ouverture 4.A
Sur cette figure, on voit que c'est une première branche 24 qui est reçue dans le berceau 11 de forme sensiblement cylindrique de l'agrafe 9. En effet, une première branche 24 est reçue dans le berceau 11 de forme sensiblement cylindrique et une deuxième branche 25 traverse l'agrafe 9 par un orifice 21. Une partie coudée 7 fait la transition entre la première branche 24 reçue dans le berceau 11 de forme sensiblement cylindrique et la deuxième branche 25 traversant l'orifice 21.In this figure, we see that it is a

Le berceau 11 présente un axe longitudinal X autour duquel pivote la tringle 3 lorsqu'elle est en en position assemblée, l'axe longitudinal X du berceau 11 étant situé parallèlement à l'axe de rotation A du levier d'ouverture 4. Le berceau 11 forme une liaison pivot avec la première branche 24 de la tringle 3.The

Il est à noter que l'agrafe 9 est préférentiellement dans une des matières plastiques suivantes : polyoxyméthylène, polyacétal (chargé en ou non chargé), voire en polyamide (chargé ou non, et ses variantes, PA6, PA66, PA612, etc..). Les matières plastiques citées contribuent à résister aux efforts d'une part, limiter la friction de contact et aussi pour limiter la bruyance.It should be noted that the
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés.Of course, the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and shown.
