Definitions

  • This invention relates to door checks particularly, but not exclusively, door checks intended for use on the doors of motor vehicles.
  • one current test procedure consists of subjecting an unlubricated mechanism to 100,000 operations with the mechanism periodically dusted with desert soil.
  • GB-A-1171576 A door check which is rather similar to that of GB-A-1247755 is shown in GB-A-1171576, the principal difference being that the main, torsional limb of the torsion bar of the earlier design is substantially longer than that of the later design, and instead of having a straight lateral arm to anchor the anchored end of the torsion bar, the earlier design has a U-shaped portion, one limb of the U providing in effect an extension to the main torsional limb.
  • GB-A-795867 shows a yet older design of door check which employs a bar arranged to act as a bow spring.
  • the bar has a U-shaped portion lying in a plane normal to the axes of rollers which are journalled on respective legs of the bar which depend from the opposite free ends of the U-shaped portion.
  • the rollers are guided in a channel-shaped mounting bracket, and the free ends of the U-shaped portion are effectively unrestrained against movement apart to enable the U-shaped portion to provide the bow-spring action.
  • EP-A-109136 represents prior art under Article 54(3) and (4) only. This shows various constructions of door check in which one roller is mounted at an intermediate position on one leg of a spring bar, the free end of the leg being restrained to a bracket. The opposite end of the leg is continuous with a U-shaped portion of the bar in some constructions, and in one such construction the U-shaped portion lies in a horizontal plane in use.
  • a door check of the type disclosed in GB-A-1171576 comprises a contoured check arm adapted to be pivotally secured to a door or door pillar, and a bracket adapted to be secured to a door pillar or door respectively, first and second rollers mounted on or in the bracket with the check arm extending between the rollers, a torsion bar carried by the bracket and comprising substantially parallel first and second legs interconnected by way of a substantially U-shaped portion of the bar, the first roller being journalled on the first leg and being urged towards the second roller by torsion in the bar, and the bracket being provided with first abutment means acting on the barto provide a fulcrum for pivotal movement of the first leg, characterised in that the second roller is journalled on the second leg of the bar, the U-shaped portion of the bar extends substantially in a plane which is normal to the axes of the legs, the opposite ends of the U-shaped portion are connected directly by respective angle portions of the bar to the adjacent ends of the respective legs, the first and second roller
  • the abutment means ensure that the torsion bar is constrained so that its operating characteristics are closely controlled. In the absence of such abutment means the U-shaped portion of the bar would be subjected to bending stresses in addition to torsional stresses, and this could lead to premature failure of the bar in certain circumstances.
  • the abutment means preferably each comprise a hook-shaped portion of the mounting bracket.
  • the hook-shaped portions are preferably arranged also to retain the torsion bar against movement relative to the bracket in the axial direction of the legs.
  • the bracket is conveniently formed from sheet material that is bent into an angular S-shape, the rollers are held captive between two of the horizontal limbs of the S, and the hook-shaped portions are parts of the third horizontal limb of the S.
  • the second leg of the bar may be restrained to the bracket against lateral movement so that the second roller is held against lateral movement, but if desired the second leg may be permitted to pivot in the manner of the first leg, the second abutment means providing a fulcrum for pivotting of the second leg.
  • the check comprises a bracket 1 formed from a rectangular strip of sheet metal by bending about five transverse lines so as to be substantially of angular S-shape, as shown in Figure 2, comprising three parallel, horizontally extending walls 2, 3 and 4, and vertical walls 5 and 6 for connection by studs 8 engaging holes 7 to a door or door pillar.
  • the walls 2 and 3 of the bracket 1 are connected by a further vertical wall 9 which is apertured at 10 to receive a contoured horizontal check arm 11 provided with a pivot hole 12 for attachment to a door pillar or door respectively.
  • First and second plain cylindrical rollers 13 and 14 respectively are journalled on parallel first and second legs 15 and 16 respectively of a torsion bar 17 and are located vertically between bracket walls 2 and 3.
  • the torsion bar further comprises a U-shaped portion 18 extending in a plane which is normal to the axes of the legs 15 and 16 and contains the bracket wall 4, the opposite ends 19, 20 of the U portion 18 being connected to the upper ends of the respective legs 15, 16 by respective right-angle bend portions 21, 22.
  • the portions 21, 22 are restrained to the bracket by respective abutment means on the bracket in the form of respective hooks 23, 24.
  • the hooks 23, 24 are formed as laterally spaced projections depending from the free end of wall 4 and, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the hooks are inclined at an angle of approximately 45° to the axes of the legs 15, 16 with the hook ends directed substantially towards each other. The angling of the hooks helps to retain the torsion bar 17 against movement relative to the bracket in the direction of the axes of the legs 15, 16.
  • the first leg 15 extends through slotted holes 25, 26 provided in the walls 3, 2 respectively to enable the first roller 13 to be deflected in the direction away from the second roller 14, the second leg 16 extending through corresponding round holes 27, 28 in the walls 3, 2 respectively, to hold roller 14 against lateral movement.
  • the first leg 15 of the torsion bar is shown in full outline in the position it occupies when the rollers engage with the narrow portion of the check arm 11 as shown in Figure 1, and in dotted outline in the deflected position when the rollers engage with a wide portion 29 of the check arm 11. It will be seen that the first leg 15 is pivotally deflected about a fulcrum point provided by the hook 23, by the action of the check arm on the first roller 13. Pivotal deflection of the arm 15 increases the torsional stress in limb 30 of the U portion 18 of the bar.
  • the torsion bar is arranged to have a torsional pre-loading on assembly to the bracket 1.
  • the lower ends of the legs 15, 16 are arranged almost touching so as to provide on assembly the necessary pre-loading of the roller 13 towards roller 14.
  • the hook 23 controls the pivotal movement of the first leg 15 and this control assists in providing a consistent performance in use. This is in contrast to arrangements where the deflecting leg of a spring bar is provided on a relatively unrestrained loop or bend of the bar.
  • roller 13 The axial spacing of roller 13 from the hook 23 assists in minimising tilting of the roller 13 in use.
  • the deflectable roller 13 is preferably arranged to engage with the smoother side of the arm 11, as shown, but the reverse would be possible.
  • the wide portion 29 of the check arm 11 is provided with a recess 31 which is engaged by the roller 14 when the door reaches the fully open condition.
  • the recess 31 is spaced from stop faces 32 on the arm such that when the roller 14 is seated in recess 31 the stop faces 32 are spaced slightly from the bracket wall 9. This enables the door to be pushed slightly beyond the normal open condition against resilient biassing of the rollers, to provide a cushioned action when the door opening movement is arrested by the check.
  • Figure 4 shows a modification of the check of Figures 1 to 3, in which parts corresponding to those of Figures 1 to 3 have been given corresponding reference numerals.
  • the bracket 1 For convenience of mounting the bracket 1 in a vehicle door of a particular shape the axes of the rollers 13 and 14 are spaced slightly differently from the plane of vertical walls 5, 6. The pivotal axis of the door is indicated at 35.
  • the check arm 11 is provided with two spaced apart recesses 31a and 31b.
  • a mounting bracket 33 is secured to the vehicle body and is pivotally connected at 12 with the check arm 11 which carries a small stop pin engageable with the free end of the bracket 33 to restrict the pivotal movement of the check arm relative to the bracket 33.
  • the second roller 14 and leg 16 are permitted to deflect in an identical manner to the first roller 13 and leg 15.
