Description

The invention relates generally to the opening of motor vehicles, and safety devices preventing the opening of these openings in case of shocks.

More precisely, the invention relates to a first aspect a device for opening an opening of motor vehicle, this device comprising a handle manually operable mounted on an outer side of the opening, a return member moved from a position normal to an open position when the handle is actuated, and locking means adopting selectively lock configurations of opening it on the structure of the vehicle or unlocking, these means cooperating normally with the referring body and adopting their configuration of unlocking when this organ goes from its position of rest in its open position, this device further comprising a security organ adopting inertia in case of impact on the opening a position prohibition against the removal of the organ of return to its open position.

Devices of this type are known in the art prior art, and typically have organs of security consists of a weight that goes into inertia movement in case of shock before the handle, and just block the removal member before it triggers unlocking of the opening.

These devices, in some cases, fail not to block the unlocking of the opening because of the offset rebound phenomenon, illustrated in FIG.

Indeed, the various elements constituting the opening device have shapes and different rigidities, and suffer from types of different deformations during a shock on the opening. They do not react homogeneously in case of shock, and phenomena may occur accelerations and staggered decelerations temporally between these different elements. In particular, when the safety device and the handle undergo staggered accelerations temporally, this shift can lead to unlocking and opening the opening.

This phenomenon was observed during tests of shocks, as shown in Figure 3. This one is a graphical representation of the evolution according to the time of movement of the handle (curve P in outline continuous), the displacement of the safety device (curve S in mixed lines) and the contact between the bolt and the striker locking means of the opening on the vehicle (all or nothing curve C in phantom).

In zone I, we see that the security organ moves before the handle and thus prevents the unlocking the opening.

In Zone II, the security organ is subjected to second displacement of greater magnitude than the first, which precedes that of the handle, and therefore blocks this handle at first. Then he returns to his rest position (falling part of the peak), which has for effect to release the handle.

In zone III, we can see that movements of the safety organ and the handle are concomitant, and that moving the handle is not blocked by the security organ. this is confirmed by the contact between the bolt and the strike, which is no longer performed from 0.021 seconds, that is to say from the top of the third peak of displacement of the security organ. Moving the handle reaches 10 millimeters, which corresponds to the unlocking the opening.

Moreover, in lateral impact tests on a side opening with a suitcase type handle, it has has been observed that the shock barrier, by withdrawing after the impact, could operate the handle and unlock opening.

The invention also aims to solve this problem.

In this context, the present invention aims to to overcome the problem mentioned above, and to propose an opening device that does not lead to unlocking the sash, even in case of rebounds offset from the various elements constituting it.

For this purpose, the device of the invention, for otherwise consistent with the generic definition given in the preamble above is essentially characterized in that it comprises means for blocking the organ in its prohibited position.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the device may comprise a stirrup of support rigidly fixed inside the opening, the safety member being rotatably mounted on the caliper around a first axis and passing from a position of rest at its position of prohibition by rotation around this first axis.

Preferably, the means for blocking the organ of safety may include a soft tongue attached to the stirrup or the return member, and least a relief formed on the cooperating security organ with the flexible tongue in the position of prohibition of the security organ to block the rotation of it towards his rest position.

In a first embodiment of the invention, the safety organ comprises a flyweight, this weight having a radially outer edge describing a trajectory in an arc around the axis of rotation when the safety organ passes from its rest position to its prohibited position, the tongue extending from the stirrup to a free end in a direction tangent to a zone of said arcuate trajectory occupied by the outer edge in the prohibition position, or slightly inclined with respect to said tangent.

In this case, the free end of the tongue can occupy said area of the trajectory in an arc, the relief being a hollow concavity in the edge outside the weight.

In addition, the tongue can extend from the stirrup towards the free end in one direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the weight.

In a second embodiment of the invention, when the safety organ is in position prohibition, the referral body comes into an arm of the security organ in his movement of his normal position towards its open position, the flexible tongue being carried by the return member, the tongue and the arm being shaped so as to nest irreversibly with each other when the return member is in abutment so as to block the rotation of the safety organ relative to the organ of referral.

In this case, when the return member is in abutment on the locking arm, the tongue can be attached to the along this arm, the arm and tongue with hollow and complementary projecting parts which interpenetrate and block the rotating arm by report to the referring body.

Advantageously, the return member can be a axis parallel to the first axis, rotatably mounted on the stirrup, coming into abutment on the locking arm by via an actuating finger which carries the tongue.

Finally, the device may comprise a screen removable between the flexible tongue and the relief.

The device shown in FIG. 1 is adapted at the opening of an opening 1 of a motor vehicle delimited on an outer side by a skin 101, in particular to a side opening.

This device 2 comprises an actuatable handle 10 manually mounted on an outer side of the skin 101 of the opening, a return member 20 moved from a position normal to an open position when the handle 10 is actuated, and locking means adopting selectively lock configurations of opening 1 on the structure of the vehicle or unlocking this opening relative to the structure of the vehicle, the opening 1 being likely to open in the unlock configuration.

The locking means cooperate normally with the return member 20 and adopt their configuration unlocking when this organ passes from its position rest in its open position.

The locking means are known and will not be so not described here.

The opening device 2 further comprises a safety member 30 adopting by inertia, in case of shock on the opening 1 in a direction substantially perpendicular to this opening, a position prohibition against the removal of the organ of return 20 to its open position.

The deflection member 20, the locking means and the safety member 30 are disposed within opening 1.

According to the invention, the opening device 2 comprises means 40 for blocking the security organ 30 in its prohibited position.

Thus, when a shock occurs on the opening 1, the safety member 30 is moved from the beginning of the shock towards its prohibition position, before the footnote 20 adopts its opening position under the effect of movement of the handle 10 due to impact. The organ of security 30 is then maintained in this position throughout the duration of the shock, so that, what whatever the movements of the other elements of the opening device, the removal device can never adopt its opening position and the opening can not to be unlocked.

More specifically, the opening device 2 comprises a support bracket 50 having a shape longitudinally elongated, rigidly fixed on the inside opening 1.

The handle 10 comprises a gripping member 11 mounted movable relative to the opening 10 on one side outside the skin 101, and an actuating member 12 of the return member 20 secured to the organ of gripping 11 and extending inside the opening 1. The gripping member 11 has, for example, a shape lengthwise along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and is articulated around a vertical axis by one end Longitudinal back on a longitudinal end corresponding back of the caliper 50.

The actuating member 12 extends substantially transversely from a front end of the gripping member 11 opposite the vertical axis, to inside the opening. This organ crosses the skin 101 by an opening provided for this purpose.

The return member 20 is an axis substantially vertical, rotatably mounted on the caliper 50. It comprises a sail 21 extending substantially longitudinally, towards the front of the vehicle. The actuating member 12 is disposed in front of the return member 20, and comprises a rearward projecting portion carried by one end free of said member opposite to the gripping member 11.

The handle 10 is actuated by rotation of the gripping member 11 outwards around the vertical axis, which results in the organ actuator 12 moves outwards, the part protruding coming against the veil 21 and training the return member 20 in rotation of its normal position at its open position. The transfer member 20 occupies its normal position especially when the opening 1 is locked on the vehicle structure and that the handle 10 is not pressed.

The return member 20 further comprises a substantially radial actuating finger 22, extending obliquely backwards and outwards in position normal, this finger allowing to pass means locking their lock configuration to their unlocking configuration, by pivoting when the return member 20 moves from its normal position at its open position.

The safety member 30 is rotatably mounted on the yoke 50 about a first vertical axis 31, and passes from a rest position to its prohibited position by rotation around this first axis 31. The axis 31 is offset rearwards with respect to the return member 20.

It comprises a weight 32, for example of shape parallelepipedic, a connecting veil 33 extending substantially radially from the first axis 31 and solidarisant this axis to a radially inner edge of the weight 32, and an arm 34 integral with the first axis 31 and extending substantially radially from this axis, outward, in one direction perpendicular to the connecting web 33.

The opening device further comprises a elastic member 35 urging the safety member 30 towards its rest position, and a stop 36 blocking the safety member 30 in rotation of its position prohibition towards his rest position and defining thus the rest position.

The elastic member 35 is a spiral spring engaged around a lug 51 formed on a pan 52 of the stirrup 50 and pointing transversely inwards of the vehicle, towards the safety organ 31. It works in compression, and leans on one side on the pan 52 and an opposite side on the connecting web 33. This connecting web 33 is pierced with a hole 331 in which engages the free end of the lug 51 when the safety member pivots to its position prohibition against the recall force of the elastic member 35.

In the rest position, illustrated in FIG. 4, the flyweight 32 and binding web 33 extend longitudinally backwards from the first axis 31, the arm 34 extending transversely towards outside.

In case of side impact on the opening, the weight 32 pivots outward, of substantially 30 °, the arm 34 then pointing obliquely outward and towards forward, following a direction substantially perpendicular to that of the actuating finger 22 when the return member 20 occupies its normal position. The edge 321 of the weight 32, radially outside by relative to the axis 31, describes an arcuate trajectory of circle around the axis 31. The weight 32 comes into stop against the pan 52 of the stirrup 50, which defines the prohibition position.

When the security organ 30 occupies its position prohibition, the arm 34 prevents the return member 20 to rotate from its normal position to its opening position, the actuating finger 22 coming in abutment against the arm 34, as illustrated in the figure 6.

In a first embodiment of the invention, represented in FIGS. 4 to 8, the blocking means 40 of the safety member 30 comprise a tongue flexible 41 secured to the stirrup 50, and at least one relief 42 formed on the security organ 30 cooperating with the flexible tongue 41 in the prohibition position of the safety member 30 to block the rotation of this one towards its position of rest.

The tongue 41 extends from a rib transverse 53 of the stirrup 50, arranged at the rear of the security organ 30. It extends from said rib to a free end 411, following a oblique direction outwards and forwards, said direction being tangent to the arcuate trajectory a circle of the outer edge 321 of the weight 32, or slightly inclined with respect to said tangent.

The tongue 41 therefore extends from the rib 53 to the free end 411 in a corresponding direction in the direction of rotation of the weight 32.

More specifically, as seen in Figure 6, the free end 411 of the tongue 41 extends into the area of the arcuate trajectory occupied by the outer edge 321 in the position of prohibition of the organ security 30.

Moreover, the relief 42 is a concavity dug into the outer edge 321 of the counterweight, so that when moving the organ of security 30 from its rest position to its position prohibition, the weight 32 will come to wear by his outer edge 321 against the free end 411 of the tongue 41 and raise it to the outside, the free end 411 falling in the relief 42 when the safety member 30 reaches its position ban.

The relief 42 has, for example, the shape of a vertical groove, V-section, free end 411 coming to lodge in the bottom of V.

The movement of the security organ 30 from its forbidden position towards its rest position under the effect of the return force of the elastic member 30 is blocked by one of the faces of the V coming against the free end 411 and exerting an effort on it substantially parallel to the direction in which extends the tongue 41.

In this first embodiment, the stirrup 50 and the tongue 41 are made of plastic, the tongue 41 being molded with the stirrup 50. dimensions of the tongue 41, in particular its thickness, are chosen so that this tongue is flexible enough to be moved by the flyweight 32 in its movement towards its prohibition position, and Rigid enough to resist without bowing to the force exerted by the elastic member 35.

A second embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 9, particularly suitable for where the stirrup 50 is made of metal or alloy metal, the flexible tongue 41 being particularly difficult to achieve in this type of material.

In this second embodiment, the means of locking 40 of the safety member 30 comprise a flexible tongue 41 secured to the return member 20, and a relief 42 formed on the safety member 30 cooperating with the flexible tongue 41 in position prohibition of the security organ 30 to block the rotation of the latter towards its rest position.

The flexible tongue 41 is formed on the finger 22 of the deflection member 20, and extends substantially perpendicular thereto, following a inclined towards the rear and inside, up to the free end 411. The tongue 41 is carried by a face 221 of the finger 22 turned towards the arm 34, at a point this radially intermediate face between the end free of this finger 22 and the axis of rotation of the organ of reference 20.

The tongue 41 and the arm 34 of the body of security 30 are shaped so as to interlock irreversibly with each other when the organ of 20 is abutted by his finger 22 against the arm 34, so as to block the rotation of the organ of safety 30 with respect to the return member 20 to its rest position.

We see in Figure 8 that when the organ of 20 is in abutment on the locking arm 34, the tongue 41 is contiguous along this arm, the arm 34 and the tongue 41 having recesses and portions therein complementary projection that interpenetrate and block the arm 34 rotates relative to the return member 20.

For this purpose, the tongue 41 carries at its end free a tooth 412 protruding towards the arm 34, the lateral face of the arm 34 turned towards the tongue 41 being shaped to present the farthest side of the axis 31 a protruding portion 341 and the most close to the axis 31 a recessed portion 342. The tooth 412 is lodged in the recessed portion 342, against the protruding part 341, so that this part in protrusion 341 is nested between tooth 412 and the face 221. Because of this mutual imbrication of the arm and tongue, arm rotation 34 is made impossible.

Protruding and recessed parts 341 and 342 constitute the relief 42 of the locking means 40.

The tongue 41 came from molding with the organ of reference, the latter preferably consisting of plastic material.

According to another aspect of the invention, the device opening includes a removable screen 60 interposed temporarily between the flexible tongue 41 and the relief 42.

3/ transport du sous-ensemble constitué de l'étrier 50, de l'organe de renvoi 20 et de l'organe de sécurité 30 jusqu'à la chaíne de fabrication du véhicule automobile,

4/ mise en place du sous-ensemble sur l'ouvrant 1, montage de la poignée 10 sur l'étrier 50.

Indeed, the method of mounting an opening device of the type described above on an opening of a motor vehicle, typically comprises the following steps:

1 / assembly on the caliper 50, in the factory of the supplier of the opening device, at least of the return member 20 and the safety member 30, the stirrup or the return member carrying the tongue 41, and the safety member carrying the relief 42,

3 / transport of the subassembly consisting of the stirrup 50, the deflection member 20 and the safety member 30 to the production line of the motor vehicle,

4 / placing the subassembly on the opening 1, mounting the handle 10 on the bracket 50.

It may happen that during step 3 /, the safety member 30 is moved into position prohibition, for example if the transport container the subassembly is shocked during handling. The blocking means 40 then irreversibly block the safety member 30 in the safety position, making the subset unusable.

To eliminate this risk, interpose during the transport of the subassembly a removable screen 60 between the flexible tongue 41 and the relief 42.

The removable screen 60 consists of a strip of flexible material, for example a strip of form paper elongate.

In the first embodiment of the device opening, a first end 61 of the band 60 is plated longitudinally against an outer side of the stirrup 50, the band 60 being then folded to pass transversely between the rib 53 and the organ of 30, by pressing the tongue 41 against this rib 53.

The strip 60 is then further folded, and extends longitudinally against an inner face of the stirrup 50. It ends with a second free end 62, far beyond the caliper 50, and likely to be entered manually. The first end 61 is fixed on the stirrup 50, for example by gluing, so as to can be detached from the stirrup when exercising a pull on the second end. Band 60 presents intrinsic resistance to tearing greater than the effort required to detach the first end 61 of the stirrup 50.

This screen 60 is set up in the factory of provider, during a step 2 / following step 1 / and preceding step 3 /.

In step 4 /, the subassembly is mounted on opening it, so that the outer side of the stirrup is pressed against the outer skin 101 of opening 1, so that the first end 61 of the band 60 is pinched between the skin 101 and the stirrup 50, the second end 62 remaining manually enterable.

During a step 5 / following step 4 /, the band 60 is removed by pulling on its second end 62 can be grasped manually.

In the second embodiment of the device opening, the first end 61 of the band 60 is fixed on the outer side of the stirrup 50, the passing band then between the arm 34 and the actuating finger 22, then along the inner side of the stirrup 50.

So we understand that the opening device described above has multiple advantages.

The safety member is blocked by the tongue 41 in a prohibited position, so that the opening device is insensitive to the phenomenon of offset rebounds of the different elements that up. The risk of accidental opening of the opening in case of shock is removed.

In addition, since the security organ remains blocked in the interdiction position, the shock barrier used for impact testing can no longer provoke unlocking the opening by withdrawing after the impact.

This result is achieved by means mechanically very simple, inexpensive and clutter extremely reduced.

The elements constituting the opening device are practically unchanged from art previous, neither in their form nor in their arrangement. The device of the invention can therefore be implanted in virtually all openings.

The device has been described for opening side of a motor vehicle. He is perfectly suitable for front and rear side doors, or even an opening hatch type.

The removable screen can transport the system pre-assembled on the caliper, without risk of inadvertent blocking of it by means of blocking.

The screen may consist of another material than paper, for example a plastic material.

The device may comprise a stirrup plastic or metal stirrup, depending on characteristics of the opening to equip.
