Abstract

Outside handle of a motor-vehicle door of the pull type, comprising a sole plate (1) designed to be fastened to the outer wall of the door, a stirrup (3), one of the ends of which is mounted pivotably relative to the sole plate (1), whilst its other end is connected to a control linkage (8), a lock (13) extending the stirrup (3), and a return spring (10) tending to cause the stirrup to pivot in the direction bringing it nearer to the sole plate and consisting of two branches (10a and 10b) extending on either side of a cylindrical central part (10c). The sole plate (1) has two integrally moulded ribs (9) forming between them a V, into which is engaged the cylindrical central part (10c) of the return spring (10).

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une poignée extérieure de porte pour véhicule automobile, du type à traction, comprenant une semelle propre à être fixée sur la paroi extérieure de la porte, un étrier dont l'une des extré­mités est montée pivotante par rapport à la semelle alors que son autre extrémité est reliée à une tringlerie de commande, un verrou prolongeant l'étrier, et un ressort de rappel tendant à faire pivoter l'étrier dans le sens correspondant à son rapprochement de la semelle et cons­titué de deux branches s'étendant de part et d'autre d'une partie centrale cylindrique.The subject of the present invention is an exterior door handle for a motor vehicle, of the traction type, comprising a sole suitable for being fixed to the exterior wall of the door, a stirrup, one of the ends of which is pivotally mounted relative to the sole while its other end is connected to a control linkage, a latch extending the stirrup, and a return spring tending to pivot the stirrup in the direction corresponding to its approach to the sole and consisting of two branches s' extending on either side of a cylindrical central part.

Dans les poignées de ce genre jusqu'à présent réalisées, le ressort est maintenu en position par un axe en acier traversant sa partie centrale. Mais cet axe est coûteux et difficile à mettre en place.In handles of this kind hitherto produced, the spring is held in position by a steel pin passing through its central part. But this axis is expensive and difficult to set up.

La présente invention a pour objet une poignée de ce genre perfectionnée de manière à remédier à ces diffi­ cultés.The present invention relates to a handle of this kind improved so as to remedy these diffi cultured.

La poignée selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que la semelle comporte deux nervures venues de mou­lage et formant entre elles un V dans lequel est engagée la partie centrale cylindrique du ressort de rappel, supprimant l'axe en acier et ses inconvénients cités ci-dessus.The handle according to the invention is characterized in that the sole has two ribs coming from molding and forming between them a V in which is engaged the cylindrical central part of the return spring, eliminating the steel axis and its drawbacks mentioned above. above.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation d'une poignée selon l'invention, avec référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • La Figure 1 est une vue en coupe horizontale de la poignée;
  • La Figure 2 est une vue en élévation de la semelle;
  • La Figure 3 est une vue suivant F de l'étrier.
An embodiment of a handle according to the invention has been described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional view of the handle;
  • Figure 2 is an elevational view of the sole;
  • Figure 3 is a view along F of the stirrup.

Telle qu'elle est représentée au dessin, la poignée de porte selon l'invention comprend une semelle 1 en matière plastique injectée propre à être fixée sur la paroi extérieure de la porte par des vis ou des rivets traversant des trous 2 de cette semelle. Un étrier 3 est articulé à l'une de ses extrémités sur la semelle 1; à cet effet, la face intérieure de cet étrier est pro­longée par un bec 4 muni d'une encoche cylindrique 5 dans lequel peut s'engager une entretoise 6 de la se­melle 1. A son autre extrémité, l'étrier 3 est prolongé par un deuxième bec 7 auquel est attelée la tringle­rie 8 d'ouverture de la serrure. La semelle 1 présente deux nervures 9 venues de moulage formant entre elles un V qui reçoit la partie cylindrique centrale 10c d'un ressort de rappel 10; les deux branches d'extré­mité 10a et 10b de ce ressort sont en appui respective­ment sur une traverse 11 de la semelle 1 et sur l'extré­mité du bec 7. Ce ressort tend ainsi à faire pivoter l'étrier vers la semelle, une deuxième traverse 12 de la semelle 1 limitant le débattement de la branche 10b du ressort 10.As shown in the drawing, the door handle according to the invention comprises a sole 1 of injected plastic suitable for being fixed to the exterior wall of the door by screws or rivets passing through holes 2 in this sole. A stirrup 3 is articulated at one of its ends on the sole 1; for this purpose, the inner face of this stirrup is extended by a spout 4 provided with a cylindrical notch 5 in which can engage a spacer 6 of the sole 1. At its other end, the stirrup 3 is extended by a second spout 7 which is coupled with the linkage 8 for opening the lock. The sole 1 has two ribs 9 formed from molding forming between them a V which receives the central cylindrical part 10 c of a return spring 10; the two end branches 10 a and 10 b of this spring are supported respectively on a cross member 11 of the sole 1 and on the end of the spout 7. This spring thus tends to pivot the stirrup towards the sole, a second cross member 12 of the sole 1 limiting the travel of the branch 10b of the spring 10.

Dans la semelle 1 est encastré un verrou 13 fixé à la semelle par une vis 14. Ce verrou comporte un tenon de guidage 15 engagé dans une rainure 16 de l'étrier 3; le tenon de guidage 15 maintient l'étrier 3 dans un plan contenant l'axe longitudinal de la poignée et lui in­terdit de pivoter autour de cet axe lorsque, pour ou­vrir la porte, on exerce un effort de traction qui fait pivoter l'étrier 3 autour de l'entretoise 6. En empê­chant l'étrier de pivoter autour de son axe longitudi­nal durant sa manoeuvre on supprime une désagréable sensation de fragilité. La face avant 15a du verrou 13 forme une rampe oblique inclinée de manière à être tangente à la courbe décrite par le fond de la rainu­re 16 lorsqu'on tire sur l'étrier 3 et qu'on fait ainsi pivoter cet étrier par rapport à la semelle 1, contre l'action du ressort 10. Ce verrou empêche un déplace­ment longitudinal de l'étrier 3 et, par suite, l'entre­toise 6 d'être dégagée de l'encoche 5.In the sole 1 is embedded a lock 13 fixed to the sole by a screw 14. This lock comprises a guide pin 15 engaged in a groove 16 of the stirrup 3; the guide pin 15 holds the stirrup 3 in a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the handle and prevents it from pivoting around this axis when, to open the door, a tensile force is exerted which makes the stirrup 3 pivot around the spacer 6. By preventing the stirrup from pivoting about its longitudinal axis during its maneuver, an unpleasant feeling of fragility is eliminated. The front face 15 a of the lock 13 forms an inclined inclined ramp so as to be tangent to the curve described by the bottom of the groove 16 when the caliper 3 is pulled and this caliper is thus pivoted relative to the sole 1, against the action of the spring 10. This lock prevents movement longitudinal of the stirrup 3 and, consequently, the spacer 6 to be released from the notch 5.
