Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'accrochage d'un panneau ouvrant de véhicule et, plus particulièrement, d'un volet arrière de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a device for hooking a vehicle opening panel and, more particularly, a rear flap of a motor vehicle.

Généralement, l'accrochage d'un panneau ouvrant sur une traverse du véhicule est réalisé au moyen d'une serrure comportant, d'une part, une gâche fixée à la traverse sous une ouverture pratiquée dans une cloison supérieure de ladite traverse et, d'autre part, un pêne, solidaire d'une partie de serrure fixée au panneau ouvrant.Generally, the attachment of a panel opening onto a cross member of the vehicle is carried out by means of a lock comprising, on the one hand, a keeper fixed to the cross member under an opening made in an upper partition of said cross member and, d 'other hand, a bolt, integral with a lock portion fixed to the opening panel.

En position "fermé", le panneau est appliqué sur la traverse en comprimant un joint d'étanchéité habituellement placé sur ladite traverse, le pêne pénètre dans l'ouverture et coopère avec la gâche. En position "ouvert", l'ouverture nécessaire pour le passage du pêne reste ouverte, sans aucune finition.In the "closed" position, the panel is applied to the cross member by compressing a seal usually placed on said cross member, the bolt enters the opening and cooperates with the keeper. In the "open" position, the opening necessary for the passage of the bolt remains open, without any finishing.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on connaît un dispositif dans lequel l'ouverture est obturée, quand le panneau est ouvert, par une plaque s'articulant sur la traverse et s'éclipsant en basculant sous la poussée de la partie de serrure solidaire du panneau lors de la fermeture de ce dernier. Un ressort assure le rappel de la plaque au droit de l'ouverture au moment de l'ouverture du panneau.To remedy this drawback, a device is known in which the opening is closed, when the panel is open, by a plate hinging on the cross-member and slipping away by tilting under the thrust of the lock part secured to the panel. when it closes. A spring ensures the return of the plate to the right of the opening when the panel is opened.

Mais, au moment de la fermeture du panneau, la partie de serrure solidaire dudit panneau glisse sur la plaque d'obturation, avec un frottement nuisible à l'état de surface et à l'endurance de cette plaque.However, when the panel is closed, the lock part secured to said panel slides on the closure plate, with friction which is harmful to the surface condition and to the endurance of this plate.

De plus, lors du déverrouillage de la serrure, avant d'ouvrir le panneau, celui-ci ne se soulève que légèrement, par décompression du joint d'étanchéité placé sur la traverse. Le ressort de rappel de la plaque d'obturation ne contribue pas à ce soulèvement, car il est faiblement taré pour ne pas accroître le frottement indiqué ci-dessus, et l'inclinaison de la plaque basculée n'est pas compatible avec une bonne poussée vers le haut du panneau.In addition, when unlocking the lock, before opening the panel, it only lifts slightly, by decompression of the seal placed on the crosspiece. The spring of recall of the cover plate does not contribute to this lifting, because it is lightly calibrated so as not to increase the friction indicated above, and the inclination of the tilted plate is not compatible with a good upward thrust of the panel.

Le but de l'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes en proposant un dispositif qui assure la finition de la traverse et qui réalise l'éjection du panneau sur une hauteur suffisante pour indiquer à l'utilisateur que le panneau n'est pas verrouillé.The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems by proposing a device which finishes the cross member and which ejects the panel at a height sufficient to indicate to the user that the panel is not locked.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un dispositif d'accrochage d'un panneau ouvrant de véhicule sur une traverse au moyen d'une serrure comportant, d'une part, une gâche fixée à la traverse sous une ouverture pratiquée dans une cloison supérieure de ladite traverse, et d'autre part un pêne solidaire d'une partie de serrure fixée au panneau et traversant, en position d'accrochage, la cloison supérieure de la traverse par l'ouverture, une plaque d'obturation de l'ouverture étant portée par la traverse et appliquée sous la cloison supérieure de ladite traverse par un moyen élastique de rappel, caractérisé en ce que la plaque d'obturation comporte des moyens de guidage et est mobile en translation dans la direction de pénétration de la partie de serrure fixée au panneau dans l'ouverture de la traverse.To this end, the invention provides a device for attaching a vehicle opening panel to a cross member by means of a lock comprising, on the one hand, a keeper fixed to the cross member under an opening made in an upper partition. of said cross member, and on the other hand a bolt secured to a lock part fixed to the panel and passing through, in the hooking position, the upper partition of the cross member through the opening, a closure plate for the opening being carried by the cross member and applied under the upper partition of said cross member by an elastic return means, characterized in that the closure plate comprises guide means and is movable in translation in the direction of penetration of the lock part fixed to the panel in the opening of the crosspiece.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques:
― la gâche s'étendant dans la direction de ladite pénétration, les moyens de guidage sont constitués par un orifice central de la plaque d'obturation, dans lequel coulisse ladite gâche;
― les moyens de guidage sont constitués par au moins deux colonnettes solidaires de la plaque d'obturation et coulissant dans des orifices prévus dans un support de la gâche fixé à la traverse.
According to other characteristics:
- the keeper extending in the direction of said penetration, the guide means are constituted by a central orifice of the closure plate, in which said keeper slides;
- The guide means are constituted by at least two columns integral with the plate shutter and sliding in holes provided in a support of the keeper fixed to the crosspiece.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels:

  • ― La figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective de la partie arrière d'un véhicule;

On a représenté à la figure 1, une partie arrière d'un véhicule V munie d'un panneau de coffre ouvrant 1 et d'une traverse 2 sur laquelle s'applique, en position "fermé", ledit panneau de coffre.There is shown in Figure 1, a rear part of a vehicle V provided with a trunk panel opening 1 and a cross 2 on which applies, in the "closed" position, said trunk panel.

Le panneau 1 comporte une partie de serrure 3 comprenant un pêne 4 et pénétrant dans une ouverture 5 ménagée dans la cloison supérieure de la traverse 2 quand le panneau 1 est fermé et qui coopère avec une gâche 6 placée au-dessous de ladite ouverture 5.The panel 1 comprises a lock part 3 comprising a bolt 4 and penetrating into an opening 5 formed in the upper partition of the cross-member 2 when the panel 1 is closed and which cooperates with a keeper 6 placed below said opening 5.

La traverse 2 comporte une nervure longitudinale 7 (figure 2) s'étendant vers le haut sur laquelle est monté un joint d'étanchéité J. D'autre part, la traverse 2 comporte intérieurement, au niveau de l'ouverture 5, une plaque 8 à la partie inférieure de laquelle est fixé, au moyen d'organes de liaison 9, un support 10 ayant la forme d'une équerre.The cross member 2 has a longitudinal rib 7 (Figure 2) extending upward on which is mounted a seal J. On the other hand, the cross member 2 has internally, at the opening 5, a plate 8 to the lower part of which is fixed, by means of connecting members 9, a support 10 having the shape of a square.

La gâche 6 est fixée sur la branche supérieure 10a du support 10 et au centre de celle-ci.The keeper 6 is fixed on the upper branch 10a of the support 10 and in the center thereof.

Pour assurer la finition de l'ouverture 5, la gâche 6 assemblée sur son support 10 est équipée d'une plaque d'obturation 11 coulissant parallèlement au déplacement du pêne 4 au moment de la fermeture du panneau 1.To finish the opening 5, the keeper 6 assembled on its support 10 is equipped with a closing plate 11 sliding parallel to the movement of the bolt 4 when the panel 1 is closed.

A cet effet, la plaque d'obturation 11 est pourvue d'un orifice central 12 (figure 4) pour le passage de la gâche 6 et comporte sur sa face inférieure deux colonnettes 13 qui pénètrent dans des trous de guidage 10b ménagés sur la branche supérieure 10a du support 10 et de part et d'autre de la gâche 6.To this end, the closure plate 11 is provided with a central orifice 12 (FIG. 4) for the passage of the keeper 6 and comprises on its underside two balusters 13 which penetrate into guide holes 10b formed on the branch upper 10a of the support 10 and on either side of the keeper 6.

Un ressort 14 monté sur chaque colonnette 13 est intercalé entre la plaque d'obturation 11 et la branche supérieure 10a du support 10.A spring 14 mounted on each baluster 13 is interposed between the closure plate 11 and the upper branch 10a of the support 10.

La plaque d'obturation 11 est maintenue en position sur la gâche 6 d'une part par des agrafes déformables 15 lors du montage de l'ensemble constitué par la gâche 6 et le support 10, et d'autre part, après montage dans la traverse 2, par une butée 2a formée sur le bord de l'ouverture 5 de la traverse 2.The closure plate 11 is held in position on the keeper 6 on the one hand by deformable staples 15 during assembly of the assembly constituted by the keeper 6 and the support 10, and on the other hand, after assembly in the cross member 2, by a stop 2a formed on the edge of the opening 5 of the cross member 2.

Le guidage effectif de la plaque d'obturation 11 est réalisé d'une part par les colonnettes 13 et d'autre part par le "fil" de gâche 6 dans l'orifice central 12 de ladite plaque d'obturation 11.The effective guiding of the closure plate 11 is carried out on the one hand by the balusters 13 and on the other hand by the striker "wire" 6 in the central orifice 12 of said closure plate 11.

Quand le panneau 1 est ouvert, sous l'effet des ressorts 14, la plaque d'obturation 11 est en appui sur la butée 2a et par conséquent obture l'ouverture 5 de la traverse 2.When panel 1 is open, under the effect springs 14, the closure plate 11 is supported on the stop 2a and therefore closes the opening 5 of the cross member 2.

Lors de la fermeture du panneau 1 (figures 5 et 6), la partie 3 de la serrure pousse la plaque d'obturation 11 qui s'escamote en comprimant les ressorts 14, et le panneau 1 se verrouille par accrochage du pêne 4 sur la gâche 6.When the panel 1 is closed (FIGS. 5 and 6), the part 3 of the lock pushes the closing plate 11 which retracts by compressing the springs 14, and the panel 1 is locked by hooking the bolt 4 on the keeper 6.

Au moment de l'ouverture du panneau 1, le tarage des ressorts de rappel 14 est suffisamment élevé pour permettre une préouverture automatique servant d'éjecteur pour le panneau 1, à l'encontre du poids de celui-ci.When the panel 1 is opened, the setting of the return springs 14 is high enough to allow automatic pre-opening serving as an ejector for the panel 1, against the weight of the latter.

Selon le second mode de réalisation de la figure 7, les ressorts 20 intercalés entre la plaque d'obturation 11 et le support 10 sont des ressorts coniques et une plaque anti-bruit 21 par exemple en caoutchouc est prévue sur la face supérieure de la plaque d'obturation 11.According to the second embodiment of Figure 7, the springs 20 interposed between the closure plate 11 and the support 10 are conical springs and an anti-noise plate 21 for example made of rubber is provided on the upper face of the plate shutter 11.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 8 et 9, la plaque d'obturation 22 est montée directement sur la gâche 6 entourée d'un ressort 23. Dans ce cas, le guidage de la plaque d'obturation 22 est effectué seulement par l'ouverture centrale de ladite plaque d'obturation sur le fil de gâche 6. Enfin, la plaque d'obturation 22 est maintenue en position sur le fil de gâche 6, lors du montage, par les deux agrafes déformables 15 et, après montage, par les bords de l'ouverture 5 de la traverse 2.According to another embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9, the shutter plate 22 is mounted directly on the keeper 6 surrounded by a spring 23. In this case, the guide of the shutter plate 22 is performed only by the central opening of said closure plate on the strike wire 6. Finally, the closure plate 22 is held in position on the strike wire 6, during assembly, by the two deformable staples 15 and, after assembly , by the edges of the opening 5 of the crosspiece 2.

Ce système permet donc d'assurer la finition de la traverse du coffre du véhicule et en même temps de réaliser l'éjection éventuelle sur une vingtaine de millimètres du panneau ouvrant ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de voir si le panneau est ouvert ou fermé par simple regard. Par ailleurs, ce système élimine toutes vibrations possibles au niveau de la gâche et de la serrure.This system therefore makes it possible to ensure the finish of the cross member of the boot of the vehicle and at the same time to carry out the possible ejection over twenty millimeters of the opening panel which allows the user to see if the panel is open or closed by simple look. In addition, this system eliminates all possible vibrations in the strike and the lock.
