Definitions

  • This invention relates to handles for motor vehicles and is more specifically concerned with lockable handles for trunks or boots of motor vehicles.
  • the electric actuator may be an electric motor or solenoid and is arranged to operate a linkage system to effect locking and unlocking operations in a manner corresponding to the operations effected by means of a key-operated locking device.
  • the motors and solenoids that are employed for this purpose are comparatively heavy and expensive and it is accordingly an object of the invention to provide an electrically operable lockable handle construction which offers weight and cost-saving advantages as compared to existing systems referred to above.
  • a lockable handle which includes a housing having means whereby it can be mounted on the trunk or boot of a motor vehicle, a handle member pivptally mounted in the housing and arranged to effect movement of an operating lever connectable to a latch mounted on the trunk or boot, a blocking lever movable into a position in which it blocks pivotal movement of the handle member and an electric motor mounted in the housing and arranged on operation to drive the blocking lever between blocking and non-blocking positions.
  • the electric motor preferably has an output shaft carrying a pinion disposed in mesh with a toothed segment forming part of the blocking lever so that a direct drive relationship is obtained between the motor output shaft and the blocking lever.
  • the blocking lever is preferably displaceable by means of a key-operated locking device and the housing will accordingly include a recess for reception of a key-operated locking device, the arrangement being such that, when the blocking lever has been moved into its blocking position by operation of the electric motor, i.e. the handle has been locked electrically, displacement of the blocking lever out of its blocking position can be effected either electrically (by operation of the motor) or manually (by use of the key).
  • the handle comprises a two-part housing 10, the two parts 11 and 12 of which are formed as injection mouldings from a polyacetal resin and, after the other components of the handle have been assembled together, the two housing parts 11 and 12 are joined together using lugs 13'on part 12 which enter appropriately positioned apertures in the part 11.
  • a handle member 14 is pivotally mounted within the housing 10 and includes a rectangular operating portion 15 arranged, when the handle is fitted to the vehicle trunk lid, to rotate about a horizontal axis provided at one end by a trunnion 16 on the handle member 14 which engages within a bearing aperture in housing part 11 and at the other end by a shaft 17 forming part of the handle member 14 which is located within cylindrical extension 18 of the housing part 12.
  • a lever 19 is attached by means of a pin 20 to the free end of the shaft 17 and is formed with a row of apertures 21 for connection of the lever 19 to the trunk latch of the vehicle by means of a suitable link.
  • the relative dispositions of the parts of the handle are such that, when fitted to the tailgate lid, the user of the vehicle can put the end portions of his fingers into the downwardly facing mouth of the housing to engage the operating portion 15 of the handle member 14 and move it upwardly to operate the..lever 19 and release the trunk latch.
  • the handle member 14 is acted on by a spring 22 which serves to bias the handle member 14 into engagement with a stop 23 afforded by part of the housing part 11.
  • a blocking lever 24 (see Figure 2) moulede as a die casting, .and including a portion 25 having a series of teeth which mesh with a pinion 26 mounted on the output shaft 27 of an electric motor 28 contained within a chamber in the housing part 12.
  • the motor 28 can be actuated, on operation of a suitable switch forming part of the vehicle central locking system or on unlocking of any of the doors of the vehicle, to move the blocking lever 24 from the unlocking position shown in the drawing into the locking position in which it blocks movement of the handle member 14.
  • the blocking lever 24 includes an integral trunnion 29 mounted in a bearing aperture in housing part 12, the lever 24 being held in position between opposed planar surfaces of the housing parts 11 and 12.
  • the blocking lever 24 is formed with an aperture 30 within which is located an eccentric pin 31 which projects from the inner end of the body 32 of a key-operated locking device 33.
  • the device 33 has a chromium-plated housing 34 which is retained within a cylindrical chamber of the housing part 11 by means of a spring-loaded retention pin 35 located to the rear of the handle so as to be inaccessible when the handle is attached to the vehicle trunk lid.
  • the pin 31 is shown in the position which it occupies when the blocking lever 24 has been moved into its unlocking position by operation of the electric motor 28.
  • the pin 31 will remain in the position shown and will function as a stop limiting the extent of rotational movement of the lever 24.
  • the pin 31 will engage the side of the aperture 30 to move the blocking lever 24 into its locking position.
  • the device 33 is so constructed that, after turning the body 32 through 90°, the key can be withdrawn and the body 32 will then be locked in this position with the pin 31 turned through 90° clockwise from the position shown in Figure 1.
  • the blocking lever 24 will be maintained in the locking position by the pin 31 even if the motgr 28 is actuated in a direction corresponding to unlocking of the handle.
  • An important advantage of the handle construction shown in the drawings is that, by arranging the pinion 26 on the motor output shaft 27 and the pin 31 of the device 33 to engage the blocking lever 24 on a common plane disposed between the motor 28 and the device 33, a compact, easily assembled unit is produced providing the locking and unlocking functions currently provided by larger, heavier, more expnsive units.
