DE3343443C2 - External actuation of a motor vehicle door - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to an external actuation of a motor vehicle door with a pivotable lever which actuates the door lock via intermediate parts and to which a handle part is attached. The handle part is releasably connected to the lever in order to make it different in shape and color.

Description

The handle part 9 made of plastic or metal has on its inside facing the motor vehicle an integrally formed extension 10 which forms a recess 11 open to the inside, the width of which is equal to that of the latching part 8 and in which, after attaching the handle part 9, the arm 4b rests in a form-fitting manner

The handle part 9 can be carried by two actuating levers 4 of the same type, in which case the handle part also two molded extensions with recesses Id has

This construction makes it possible to first fully assemble the door including the actuating lever and then to push the handle part 9 from the outside onto the arm or arms 4b which protrude through the opening 5 of the door panel 1 to the outside. After the opening in the side wall of the recess 10a has reached the level of the latching part 8, the latching part Sa snaps into the opening 9a and engages behind the edge of the opening 9a, which is closer to the interior of the vehicle, so that the handle part 9 is not pulled outward leads to a loosening of this locking connection. B. pressed a screwdriver the locking part 8 inwardly into the recess 10a so the handle part can be solved afterwards.

Claims (10)

ι 2 nen the handle parts only together with the actuation patent claims: lever to be replaced. From EP-A 00 72 537 a door lock is known 1. External actuation of a motor vehicle door with one of its actuating levers a separate handle part pivotable, the door lock is steered by means of 5 Here, too, the operating lever and handle shear parts actuating lever on which a separate mounted as a unit tes handle part is attached, thereby gekenn- The object of the invention is an external actuation draws that the connection between the handle part of a motor vehicle door to improve in such a way that at (9) and lever (4) a molded lock with a latching low manufacturing effort handle parts different part (8) has io more color and / or shape after the assembly of the 2. External actuation according to claim 1, characterized in that the lock can be attached,
This object is achieved according to the invention by a pivotable plastic part which, in a recess, that the connection between the handle part and the lever engages in a form or opening (9a) has a locking part 3. External actuation according to claim 2, characterized in that it is possible that the motor vehicle door indicates that the locking part (8) is completely assembled in an opening including the actuating lever. (7) of the free arm (4b) of the lever (4) is attached and only then the handle part is put on and engages in an opening (9a) of the handle part (9) U.N- 4. External actuation according to one of claims 1 can be selected differently and in particular to the to 3, characterized in that the handle part (9) can be matched to the vehicle color. As all parts of the door except for from the outside of the door on the lever (4) can be plugged the handle part can be the same, is the effort is low. 5. External actuator according to one of claims 1 In addition, this makes it possible to use the handle to 4, characterized in that it can be subsequently replaced in the simplest manner on the back, so of the handle part (9) an extension (10) formed 25 that even after the manufacture of a motor vehicle which can determine the shape and color of the handle through an opening (5) in the door panel. It special a trough (6) located there, in which a simple and secure connection between Inside of the door protrudes handle part and lever created. The connection can 6. External actuation according to claim 5, characterized in that it compensates for dimensional inaccuracies and is rattle-free, indicates that the extension (10) is one to 30 For this purpose, it is also proposed that the locking part forms a recess (10a) open to the rear, into which the elastically pivotable plastic part is which can be inserted into one of the end of the free lever arm (4b) , recess or opening. Furthermore, here- 7. External actuator according to claim 6, characterized in that the latching part is in an opening of the free arm of the indicates that a side wall of the Ausneh- lever is attached and in an opening of the handle (10a,} of the extension (10) partially engage the opening (9a) 35. has, in which the latching part (8) reaches the insert. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention 8. External actuation according to claim 6 or 7, there are listed in the other subclaims
characterized in that the width of the locking part An embodiment of the invention is in the (8) the width of the recess (lOa ^ corresponds to the drawing shown and will be discussed in more detail below 9. External actuation according to one of claims 1 40 wrote. Show it to 8, characterized in that the lever (4) F i g. 1 a vertical section through a force vehicle door through an opening (5) in the door panel (1): in the area of the outside handle and protrudes outward F i g. 2 shows a section according to H-II in FIG. 1. 10. Method for assembling an external actuator on the inside of a door panel 1 of a motor vehicle according to one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that a supporting element 2 is fastened in the upper part of the door marked that first the door including the area is horizontal, parallel to the direction of travel the actuating lever (4) is fully assembled and forms a lying axis 3 through which a door inside then the handle part (9) lying on the operating lever two-armed operating lever 4 against the is pushed on from the outside. Pressure of a torsion spring is pivotably articulated 50 With an arm 4a further inward, the actuates Lever 4 via transmission parts not shown Lock of the motor vehicle door. The opposite to the axis 4 arm 4b of the lever 4 protrudes through an open The invention relates to an external actuation with a 5 through the door panel 1 to the outside, this nem pivotable, the door lock via intermediate opening 5 in the area of an inwardly pressed parts actuating lever on which a separate handle recess 6 of the door panel is located part is attached The operating lever 4 is formed from a sheet metal, in order to operate the lock of a motor vehicle door, which in the installed state with its side surfaces is known to be a handle part on the outside of the door so that the arm 4b also from a vertical arrange that through an opening of the outer door panel ω right sheet metal area consists of the arm 4b extends through the middle and is attached to an internally articulated two-ar- an approximately rectangular opening 7 of greater length migen lever, which via transmission parts, as a height, in which a latching part 8 made of plastic through in particular a linkage connected to the lock is held by clipping. The locking part 8 has a beist. Actuating lever and handle are mounted as a unit on a movable section 8a. who animal against the rest. 65 locking part is angled and from the arm 4b because this known construction is expensive in that it protrudes as a locking part in an opening 9a of an assembly and can be locked in a reasonable manufacturing handle part 9. For this purpose, the area 8a is not suitable for different handle parts. Also formed resiliently on the remaining part 8.
