Definitions
- This present invention generally relates to motor vehicle door attachment systems, and more particularly to an attachment system that allows the door to be easily removed from the motor vehicle after an accident.
- the motor vehicle door attachment and detachment system disclosed herein which comprises an intermediate member located inside a cavity formed on a vertical frame member located adjacent the doorway on motor vehicle. Attached to the external surface of the intermediate members are upper and lower hinge elements designed to attach to compliment hinge elements attached to the door.
- the intermediary member is disposed inside a cavity formed on the vertical frame member. The intermediary member is selectively held inside the cavity by an electro-mechanic unlocking system that is coupled to a sensor located in the motor vehicle.
- the system includes an optional intermediate expulsion means used to force the intermediate member out of the cavity immediately after the electro-mechanic locking and unlocking system releases the intermediate member from the vertical frame member.
- the intermediate member is a rectangular structure with two tongue slot openings formed on its top and bottom surfaces.
- the electro-mechanic locking and unlocking means comprises of two locks located inside the cavity opposite the top and bottom surfaces when the intermediate member is disposed inside the cavity. Each lock includes a moveable tongue that moves longitudinally to engage and disengage the tongue slot formed on the adjacent surface of the intermediate member. These two locks are designed to keep the intermediate members onto which door stationary hinge sides are fixed, in their respective cavities, as if these are permanent parts of the main body of the vehicle, when the vehicle is not involved in an accident.
- the sensory system activates the locks to swiftly move the tongues out of the tongue slots thereby disconnecting the intermediate member from the cavity.
- the doors become detachable from the motor vehicle along with stationary hinge connections side, and door hinge sides, whether the door hinges are damaged as a result of the accident and therefore cause additional difficulty in opening the doors, or not.
- the expulsion comprises a set of springs located between the inside surface of the vertical frame member and the intermediate member. When the intermediate member is disconnected from the vertical frame member, the spring forces the intermediate member outward from the cavity thereby completely and automatically disengaging the door from the motor vehicle.
- the guides are plastic fasteners that can be broken when the intermediate member is manually forced outward from the cavity.
- Figure 1 shows in perspective view, the two locks used in the electro- mechanic locks and unlock system, that are within the front lower pillar and that are at locked, non - accident position, of which the locking function is to unlock the intermediate member, which in turn has the front door stationary part, upper and lower hinges fixed on it.
- Figure 2 shows in perspective view, the electro mechanic locks being unlocked, as the motor vehicle gets into an accident and the locks that used to be within the intermediate members are swiftly moved to the unlocked position.
- Figure 3 shows in perspective view, how the intermediate member onto which the front doors stationary part, upper and lower hinges are fixed, are removable after these are unlocked. This is first embodiment.
- Figure 4 shows in perspective view how the intermediate member component gets expelled immediately by the second embodiment with the spring expulsion feature that is used instead of the plastic fasteners.
- Figure 5 shows in perspective side view, how the doors has been removed as per first embodiment or has been automatically expelled as per the second embodiment and the medical rescue personnel are able to make a swift rescue operation that saves them valuable time.
- Figure 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the intermediate member that can be removed and the hinges that are fixed on this intermediate member and therefore how the door can be removed out of from the pillars of the motor vehicle. Locking arms in the unlocked position also depicted.
- Figure 7 is enlarged perspective view of the intermediate member and the hinges that are fixed on this intermediate member.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of the second embodiment depicting how the intermediate member is expelled.
- Figure 9 is a perspective view and depicts the electro mechanic device and the intermediate member that hold the upper and lower hinges for the back doors with the side pillars.
- Figure 10 is a perspective view of the intermediate member on which the hinges are fixed, how it gets detached from its cavity that is within the side pillars.
- Figure 11 is a perspective view of the intermediate member of the side middle pillars, on which the hinges are located.
- Figure 12 is a front elevation view of the cavity and the intermediate member depicting the additional space-depth needed for the spring members in the second embodiment.
- the electro mechanic locks-solenoids 10 and 10a are within front lower left and right front pillars 9, and are at locked non - accident position, of which the lock tongues 11a and l ib keep the intermediate member 12 locked, onto which the front doors upper stationary hinge part 12a and lower stationary hinge 12b are fixed on the external surface.
- the electro-mechanic locks- solenoids 10 and 10a are capable of unlocking the intermediate member 12 immediately onto which upper stationary hinge 12a and lower stationary part 12b of the front door 12g are fixed.
- the present invention activation that is the unlocking mechanism can be compared to the fastest air bag system.
- intermediate member 12 is ready to be expelled out by the springs 19a and 19b that are used in place instead of the plastic fasteners 13a and 13b.
- the time for unlocking and expulsion of the intermediate members 12 is as fast as the first embodiment, since the expulsion of the intermediate members take place concurrently with respect to timing.
- the intermediate member 12 can be detached easily from the cavity 13 that is out of the front pillar 9 by the rescue personnel, whether the front door 12g is jammed at its frame or not. In the second embodiment, intermediate member 12 gets expelled out automatically.
- the electro mechanic locking tongues 11a and 1 lb are removed out of the intermediate member 12 and the intermediate member 12 is set free from locking tongues 11a and l ib, this makes intermediate member 12 to be removed easily out from its cavity 13 in the front lower pillars 9 of the vehicle, for the purpose to take the font door 12g out.
- the slots, out of which tongues 11a and 1 lb become unlocked are 13c and 13d respectively. Since the intermediate member 12 has the door upper hinge 12a and lower hinge 12b fixed on it, front door 12g can be removed out easily with minor effort that can break the plastic fasteners 13a and 13 b, these plastic fasteners are made by Emhart which is a known company in automotive fastener market. An exact type of fastener for the purpose of the invention can be produced by this company or by another fastener producer. Thus, even if door 12g is jammed at the frame or there is damage to the door as well, the door 12g can still be detached. The function of the plastic fasteners 13a, 13b are to temporarily hold the intermediate member 12 after unlocking occurs.
- the intermediate member 12 and 14 are held stable by plastic fasteners 13 a, 13b for intermediate member 12 and by plastic fasteners 15a and 15b for intermediate member 14, temporarily.
- the plastic fasteners 13a and 13b are within the intermediate member cavity 13, where the inner surface of the cavity 13 faces the front lower pillars 9 of the car.
- the plastic fasteners 15a and 15b are within the intermediate member cavity 14, where the inner surface of the cavity 14 faces the middle pillars 9a of the vehicle.
- expulsion springs 19a and 19b instead of plastic fasteners 13 a, 13 b, there are expulsion springs 19a and 19b, which push out the intermediate member 12 immediately right after unlocking occurs.
- the front door 12g can also be set free and becomes removable and can easily be detached out of the vehicle, as it is connected through the stationary hinge parts 12a and 12b and through door upper hinge part 12e and door lower hinge part 12f.
- the intermediate member 12 can be seen as it is removed out of its cavity 13.
- the cavity 13 is depicted just behind the intermediate member 12, out of which intermediate member 12 has been removed.
- the cavity 13 has top and bottom openings 13c and 13d above and below it, that enable tongues 11a and 1 lb to pass through the wall of the cavity 13 and get into the lock slots 12h and 12i of intermediate member 12. This figure shows the first embodiment.
- the intermediary member 12 gets expelled by the expulsion springs 19a and 19b used with the second embodiment.
- Each expulsion spring 19a, 19b includes one circle plate 20a and 20b, respectively, that presses against the intermediate member 12.
- the back doors 14g are also made easily removable after an accident by applying the same system of electro mechanic unlocking.
- Upper side electro mechanic lock 10b and lower side lock 10c and their tongues 17 and 18, are placed within the middle pillars 9a of the automobile, tongues 17 and 18 keep the intermediate member 14 in its cavity 15, in the locked position, when the vehicle is not involved in an accident.
- On the external surface of intermediate member 14 are the upper back door hinge 14a and lower door hinge 14b fixed.
- the tongues 17 and 18 are moved out in less than a second and the intermediate member 14 is only held by the plastic fasteners 15a and 15b, which can easily be broken by the rescue personnel by pulling the door out at the hinge sides.
- Same system is applied on both right and left back door 14g sides.
- Within the side pillars 9a are the cavities 15 -left and right-, within which the intermediate member 14 is located.
- Intermediate member 14 gets unlocked by electro mechanic tongues 17 and 18 when an accident occurs. Since the back door upper stationary hinges 14a and lower hinge 14b are fixed on the intermediate member 14 through door hinges 14e and 14f, the door 14g becomes easily removable from the middle pillar-body 9a of the vehicle. This is the first embodiment.
