Description

La présente invention concerne une agrafe de tringle de levier d'ouverture de serrure. Ces agrafes sont utilisées pour relier une tringle à un levier d'ouverture de serrure et donc d'être une véritable interface entre la tringle et le levier d'ouverture de serrure. Cette invention concerne également un mécanisme permettant l'ouverture et/ou la condamnation d'un ouvrant, et encore plus particulièrement d'une porte de véhicule automobile ainsi que le montage d'un tel mécanisme.The present invention relates to a lock opening lever rod clip. These clips are used to connect a rod to a lock opening lever and therefore to be a real interface between the rod and the lock opening lever. This invention also relates to a mechanism allowing the opening and / or locking of an opening, and even more particularly of a motor vehicle door as well as the mounting of such a mechanism.

De nombreux types d'agrafes sont connus de l'art antérieur, notamment des agrafes type ¼ de tour, par bridage ou par verrouillage. Différentes solutions techniques d'accrochage de la tringle sur le levier ont déjà été proposées comme une tringle solidaire du levier de serrure, notamment par liaison directe sans interface ou avec interface ou une tringle non solidaire du levier. Un tel dispositif est connu dans la demande de brevet FR2613754 qui concerne un dispositif avec un cordon de tirage pour commander le verrouillage ou le déverrouillage d'une porte. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un élément destiné à maintenir l'extrémité supérieure de la liaison dans une position par rapport à la cavité formant un rail de guidage, le tirant comprenant une partie faisant saillie dans la structure de la porte à travers le bas de la cavité formant un rail de guidage et comprenant au moins un alésage dans lequel est engagée l'extrémité supérieure de la tringlerie. Ce dispositif trouve une application notamment dans le domaine de l'automobile.Many types of staples are known from the prior art, in particular ¼ turn type staples, by clamping or by locking. Various technical solutions for hooking the rod onto the lever have already been proposed, such as a rod secured to the lock lever, in particular by direct connection without an interface or with an interface or a rod not secured to the lever. Such a device is known in the patent application FR2613754 which relates to a device with a pull cord for controlling the locking or unlocking of a door. The device is characterized in that it comprises an element intended to maintain the upper end of the link in a position relative to the cavity forming a guide rail, the tie comprising a part projecting in the structure of the door to through the bottom of the cavity forming a guide rail and comprising at least one bore in which the upper end of the linkage is engaged. This device finds application in particular in the automotive field.

Ces types d'agrafes présentent des inconvénients tels que la complexité du montage d'un tel dispositif, l'induction d'un couple sur la tringle et ainsi l'augmentation de la course utile à la poignée.These types of staples have drawbacks such as the complexity of mounting such a device, the induction of a torque on the rod and thus the increase in the useful stroke of the handle.

Par exemple, le document JPH0336508 U concerne un support comprenant une partie cylindrique ayant un orifice recevant une partie de tringle et une pièce de préhension pour maintenir l'autre partie de tringle.For example, the document JPH0336508 U relates to a support comprising a cylindrical part having an orifice receiving a rod part and a gripping part for holding the other rod part.

Thus, this will make it possible to understand the various advantages provided by it.

La figure 2 montre une tringle 3 s'insérant dans un levier d'ouverture 4 de serrure 2. Le levier d'ouverture 4 présente un évidement 6 recevant la tringle 3. On voit que la tringle 3 peut présenter plusieurs coudes 7. L'insertion de la tringle 3 dans le levier d'ouverture 4 de la serrure 2 se fait au niveau d'un coude de la tringle 3. C'est pourquoi le levier d'ouverture 4 présente un angle coudé 8 permettant la réception de la tringle 3 et son emprisonnement dans le levier d'ouverture 4. Ceci se traduit par le fait que les effort subis par la tringle 3, par exemple lors de l'ouverture ou la condamnation d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, sont repris directement par le levier d'ouverture 4.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. The insertion of the rod 3 in the opening lever 4 of the lock 2 is made at an elbow of the rod 3. 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.

On voit sur cette figure que l'évidement 6 du levier d'ouverture 4 n'est pas comblé par la réception de la tringle 3. Une agrafe 9, décrite dans la figure suivante, est configurée pour s'insérer dans l'évidement 6.It can be seen in this figure that the recess 6 of the opening lever 4 is not filled by the reception of the rod 3. A clip 9, described in the following figure, is configured to fit into the recess 6 .

La figure 3 montre une agrafe 9. Sur cette figure, on voit un premier moyen antibruit 13 et un troisième moyen antibruit 16, ce dernier est disposé sur chaque rainure 22. Cette agrafe comprend deux rainures 22, disposées dans le prolongement de la forme cylindrique de l'agrafe 9, au niveau de la base de l'agrafe 9. Ces rainures 22 sont configurées pour recevoir une languette 23 correspondante disposée sur le levier d'ouverture 4.The figure 3 shows a clip 9. In this figure, we see a first anti-noise means 13 and a third anti-noise means 16, the latter is arranged on each groove 22. This clip comprises two grooves 22, arranged in the extension of the cylindrical shape of the clip 9, at the base of clip 9. These grooves 22 are configured to receive a corresponding tab 23 disposed on the opening lever 4.

Ces moyens antibruit 13 et 16 sont également des moyens de fixation, cette fixation étant de préférence élastique de sorte à limiter l'émission de bruits parasites dues aux vibrations d'un véhicule par exemple.These anti-noise means 13 and 16 are also fixing means, this fixing preferably being elastic so as to limit the emission of parasitic noise due to the vibrations of a vehicle for example.

Une forme en entonnoir, réalisée par des parois 19 formant un U, permet de faciliter l'assemblage d'une tringle 3 dans l'agrafe 9. En effet, ces parois 19 permettent le guidage de la tringle 3 lors de son insertion dans cette agrafe 9, l'agrafe 9 étant déjà clippée au levier d'ouverture 4. La forme en entonnoir est réalisée par des parois 19 formant un U et s'étendant au-delà de l'ouverture en forme de berceau. Les parois s'éloignent l'une de l'autre. En effet, ces parois 19 s'évasent à partir d'une ouverture formant le berceau 11. Il est entendu par des parois 19 s'évasant à partir de l'ouverture, des parois 19 qui s'éloignent l'une de l'autre vers l'extérieur, c'est-à-dire dans le sens opposé à l'ouverture.A funnel shape, produced by walls 19 forming a U, makes it possible to facilitate the assembly of a rod 3 in the clip 9. In fact, these walls 19 allow the guide of the rod 3 during its insertion into this. clip 9, the clip 9 being already clipped to the opening lever 4. The funnel-shaped is formed by walls 19 forming a U and extending beyond the cradle-shaped opening. The walls move away from each other. Indeed, these walls 19 widen out from an opening forming the cradle 11. It is understood by walls 19 widening out from the opening, walls 19 which move away from one of the other towards the outside, that is to say in the direction opposite to the opening.

Un chanfrein 10 est réalisé à la suite des parois 19 sur le pourtour intérieur de l'agrafe 9 puis vient un berceau 11 présentant une enveloppe sensiblement cylindrique permettant la réception d'une première branche 24 de la tringle 3. Un orifice 21 est réalisé dans le berceau 11 permettant ainsi le passage d'une deuxième branche 25 de la tringle 3. 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 chamfer 10 is made after the walls 19 on the inner periphery of the clip 9 then comes a cradle 11 having a substantially cylindrical envelope allowing the reception of a first branch 24 of the rod 3. An orifice 21 is made in the cradle 11 thus allowing the passage of a second branch 25 of the rod 3. More precisely, the first branch 24 of the rod 3 cooperates with the cradle 11 of the clip 9 and the second branch 25 of the rod 3 cooperates with hole 21 of clip 9.

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 figure 4 montre une agrafe 9 et un levier d'ouverture 4 de serrure 2. L'agrafe 9 présente une forme de berceau 11, sensiblement cylindrique, configurée pour s'insérer dans l'évidement 6 configuré pour recevoir l'agrafe 9. L'agrafe 9 présente un alésage spécifique. En effet, des chanfreins 10 de part et d'autre de la surface intérieure de l'agrafe 9 sont présents puis suit un berceau 11 sensiblement de forme cylindrique. L'agrafe 9 présente, au niveau de ses surfaces extérieures latérales, une rainure 22 configurée pour s'insérer dans une languette 23 correspondante, située sur le levier d'ouverture 4 de part et d'autre de la surface intérieure parallèle à la direction d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 sur le levier d'ouverture 4, celle-ci étant matérialisée par une flèche. Chaque rainure 22 est parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X du berceau 11.This substantially cylindrical envelope is intended to keep in engagement, preferably elastically, the first branch 24 of the rod 3. In addition, this cylindrical envelope is open on one side and closed on the other, thus forming a U. figure 4 shows a clip 9 and a lock opening lever 4 2. The clip 9 has a cradle shape 11, substantially cylindrical, configured to fit into the recess 6 configured to receive the clip 9. The clip 9 has a specific bore. In fact, chamfers 10 on either side of the inner surface of the clip 9 are present and then follow a cradle 11 which is substantially cylindrical in shape. The clip 9 has, at its lateral outer surfaces, a groove 22 configured to fit into a corresponding tongue 23, located on the opening lever 4 on either side of the inner surface parallel to the direction. introduction of the clip 9 on the opening lever 4, the latter being indicated by an arrow. Each groove 22 is parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the cradle 11.

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 clip 12 is located upstream of the clip 9, therefore located in the direction of the insertion direction of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4. This clip 12 has the shape of a hook disposed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4. When the clip 9 is inserted into the opening lever 4, the clip 12, through its hook, clips to the outer surface of the opening lever 4 facing the direction of insertion of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4. This clip 12 is configured to clip the clip 9 on the lever. opening 4 by a single translational movement. This clipping mode allows easier and faster assembly of the mechanism.

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 clip 9 also comprises three anti-noise means, the first anti-noise means 13 is a lug located downstream of the clip 9 on its outer surface, perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4 and configured to come into contact with the outer surface of the elbow element 8 of the opening lever 4 perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the clip 9 on the opening lever 4. The first noise-canceling means 13 has an angle of inclination in the direction of the insertion direction of the clip 9 in the opening lever 4 allowing the effective holding of the clip 9 on the opening lever 4.

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 rod 3. In fact, this surface is of rounded shape, allowing the bead wire 3 to be pressed against the clip 9. The second anti-noise means 14 has a recess 15 allowing it to exert a spring effect. The third anti-noise means 16 is also a lug located on each groove 22 and configured to be in contact with the corresponding tongue 23 of the opening lever 4.

La figure 5 montre le levier d'ouverture 4 dans lequel est inséré l'agrafe 9 par clippage. On voit que le clip 12, via son crochet, permet une solidarisation de l'agrafe 9 avec le levier d'ouverture 4, en combinaison avec le moyen antibruit 13. Le clip 12 est donc également un moyen de fixation étant de préférence élastique. Il en est de même des languettes 23 du levier d'ouverture 4 insérées dans les rainures 22 correspondantes de l'agrafe 9.The figure 5 shows the opening lever 4 in which the clip 9 is inserted by clipping. It can be seen that the clip 12, via its hook, allows the clip 9 to be secured to the opening lever 4, in combination with the noise-reduction means 13. The clip 12 is therefore also a fastening means which is preferably elastic. The same applies to the tongues 23 of the opening lever 4 inserted into the corresponding grooves 22 of the clip 9.

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 opening lever 4 thus avoiding the noise of the clip 9 on the opening lever 4 during rolling. The noise-reduction means 14 is in contact with the rod 3 and has a recess 15 making it possible to prevent any noise from the rod 3 on the clip 9 during rolling. Finally, the third anti-noise means 16 is in contact with the corresponding tongue 23 of the opening lever 4 making it possible to prevent any noise from the rod 3 on the clip 9 during rolling.

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 rod 3 is inserted into the clip 9 and therefore also into the opening lever 4 by virtue of their attachment. The insertion of the rod 3 into the clip 9 is facilitated by the walls 19 of the clip 9. The rod 3 is therefore trapped in the opening lever 4 by means of the clip 9 by the clipping. of the clip 9 on the opening lever 4 but also by the noise reduction means. By this imprisonment, the forces undergone by the rod 3 are taken up directly by the opening lever 4.

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 first branch 24 which is received in the cradle 11 of substantially cylindrical shape of the clip 9. Indeed, a first branch 24 is received in the cradle 11 of substantially cylindrical shape and a second branch 25 passes through the clip 9 through an orifice 21. A bent portion 7 makes the transition between the first branch 24 received in the cradle 11 of substantially cylindrical shape and the second branch 25 passing through the orifice 21.

Les figures 6a et 6b montrent un levier d'ouverture 4 d'une serrure 2. Une agrafe 9 est insérée par clippage dans le levier d'ouverture 4. Une tringle 3 est insérée dans l'agrafe 9, elle-même insérée dans le levier d'ouverture 4. On voit que le levier d'ouverture 4 est monté en rotation selon un axe A sur la serrure 2 avec une compatibilité d'une amplitude angulaire proche de 180°. Le berceau 11 de l'agrafe 9 est parallèle à l'axe de rotation A du levier d'ouverture 4. Le coude 7 de la tringle 3 s'insérant dans l'agrafe 9 est en appuie sur le rayon de l'agrafe 9. Puis c'est l'agrafe 9 qui appuie sur le rayon du levier d'ouverture 4. Un auto-verrouillage est prévu en cas de sur-course afin de réduire la désolidarisation tringle 3 /agrafe 9 lorsque la tringle 3 remonte plus rapidement que le levier d'ouverture 4.The figures 6a and 6b show an opening lever 4 of a lock 2. A clip 9 is inserted by clipping into the opening lever 4. A rod 3 is inserted into the clip 9, itself inserted into the opening lever 4 It can be seen that the opening lever 4 is mounted in rotation about an axis A on the lock 2 with a compatibility of an angular amplitude close to 180 °. The cradle 11 of the clip 9 is parallel to the axis of rotation A of the opening lever 4. The elbow 7 of the rod 3 inserting into the clip 9 is supported on the radius of the clip 9 . Then it is the clip 9 which presses on the radius of the opening lever 4. A self-locking is provided in the event of over-stroke in order to reduce the separation of rod 3 / clip 9 when rod 3 goes up more quickly. than the opening lever 4.

En effet, dans la figure 6a, lorsqu'un utilisateur décide d'ouvrir un ouvrant de véhicule par exemple, le levier d'ouverture 4 est mis en mouvement selon l'axe A par la force exercée sur la tringle 3 lors de la préhension de l'élément de préhension 5 de la poignée 1 par un utilisateur. Pour réduire la possibilité d'une désolidarisation de la tringle 3 avec l'agrafe 9, lorsque la tringle 3 remonte plus rapidement que le levier d'ouverture 4, la configuration de l'agrafe 9, emprisonne la tringle 3. Ceci est matérialisé par une flèche montrant que la tringle 3 ne peut pas se déplacer dans le sens de la flèche en cas de sur-course de la tringle 3.Indeed, in the figure 6a , when a user decides to open a vehicle opening for example, the opening lever 4 is set in motion along the axis A by the force exerted on the rod 3 when gripping the gripping element 5 of handle 1 by a user. To reduce the possibility of the rod 3 becoming detached from the clip 9, when the rod 3 rises faster than the opening lever 4, the configuration of the clip 9 traps the rod 3. This is materialized by an arrow showing that the rod 3 cannot move in the direction of the arrow if the rod 3 over-travels.

Dans la figure 6b, la flèche montre la configuration de l'agrafe 9, sensiblement cylindrique et comportant des parois formant un U. C'est cette configuration qui permet un auto-verrouillage en sur-course de la tringle 3.In the figure 6b , the arrow shows the configuration of the clip 9, which is substantially cylindrical and comprising walls forming a U. It is this configuration which allows self-locking in over-travel of the rod 3.

La figure 7 montre un levier d'ouverture 4 dans laquelle une tringle 3 est insérée par l'intermédiaire d'une agrafe 9. On voit que l'évidement 6 n'est pas comblé totalement par la tringle 3 de par la conformation de l'agrafe 9 et notamment au niveau de ses angles. En effet, les angles de l'agrafe 9 recevant la tringle 3 n'interfère pas avec la tringle 3 de sorte qu'un mouvement total de la tringle 3 est possible et donc laisse la liberté de rotation de cette tringle 3.The figure 7 shows an opening lever 4 in which a rod 3 is inserted via a clip 9. It can be seen that the recess 6 is not completely filled by the rod 3 by the conformation of the clip 9 and especially at the level of its angles. Indeed, the angles of the clip 9 receiving the rod 3 do not interfere with the rod 3 so that a total movement of the rod 3 is possible and therefore leaves the freedom of rotation of this rod 3.

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 cradle 11 has a longitudinal axis X around which the rod 3 pivots when it is in the assembled position, the longitudinal axis X of the cradle 11 being located parallel to the axis of rotation A of the opening lever 4. The cradle 11 forms a pivot connection with the first branch 24 of the rod 3.

La figure 8 montre un levier d'ouverture 4 de serrure 2 dans lequel l'agrafe 9 est intégrée dans le levier d'ouverture 4. En effet, dans ce mode de réalisation, le levier d'ouverture 4 et l'agrafe 9 ne forment qu'une seule et même pièce. Les chanfreins 10 réalisés sur le pourtour de la face intérieure de l'agrafe 9 ont donc fusionnés avec la surface du levier d'ouverture 4 parallèle au sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4 comme montré dans la figure 4. La surface du berceau 11 de forme sensiblement cylindrique recevant le premier moyen antibruit 13 a fusionné avec la surface du levier d'ouverture perpendiculaire au sens d'introduction de l'agrafe 9 dans le levier d'ouverture 4 comme montré dans la figure 4. Ce mode de réalisation permet un montage encore plus rapide et plus simple.The figure 8 shows a lock opening lever 4 2 in which the clip 9 is integrated into the opening lever 4. In fact, in this embodiment, the opening lever 4 and the clip 9 only form a one and the same part. The chamfers 10 made around the perimeter of the inner face of the clip 9 have therefore merged with the surface of the opening lever 4 parallel to the direction of insertion of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4 as shown in Figure figure 4 . The surface of the cradle 11 of substantially cylindrical shape receiving the first noise-canceling means 13 has merged with the surface of the opening lever perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the clip 9 into the opening lever 4 as shown in Figure figure 4 . This embodiment allows an even faster and simpler assembly.

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 clip 9 is preferably in one of the following plastic materials: polyoxymethylene, polyacetal (loaded with or not loaded), even in polyamide (loaded or not, and its variants, PA6, PA66, PA612, etc.). ). The plastics mentioned contribute to resist the forces on the one hand, to limit the contact friction and also to limit the noise.

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.
