Description

La présente invention se rapporte d'une manière générale à une serrure permettant le verrouillage d'un battant de porte, tel que par exemple le battant formant hayon d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates generally to a lock for locking a door leaf, such as for example the leaf forming a tailgate of a motor vehicle.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement la gâche de cette serrure.It relates more particularly to the strike of this lock.

On a déjà proposé des gâches de serrure pour battant de véhicule automobile par exemple, comprenant essentiellement une semelle dont est solidaire une pièce présentant la forme générale d'un U sur lequel peut s'accrocher un pêne, crochet ou analogue à la fermeture du battant.Lock strikes have already been proposed for a leaf of a motor vehicle for example, essentially comprising a sole which is integral with a part having the general shape of a U on which a bolt, hook or the like can be hung when the leaf closes. .

La semelle était généralement munie de boutonnières permettant le réglage de la pièce en U par rapport à la semelle, de façon à assurer un verrouillage correct à la fermeture du battant. Toutefois, le réglage de la pièce en U par rapport à la semelle se faisait par approximation et était relativement long et peu précis en raison du fait que le réglage dans une direction modifiait souvent le réglage dans l'autre direction. Il s'ensuit que plusieurs réglages devaient être effectués, ce qui nécessitait plusieurs ouvertures et fermetures du battant de porte.The sole was generally provided with buttonholes allowing the adjustment of the U-shaped part with respect to the sole, so as to ensure correct locking when the leaf is closed. However, the adjustment of the U-piece relative to the base was done by approximation and was relatively long and not very precise due to the fact that the adjustment in one direction often modified the adjustment in the other direction. It follows that several adjustments had to be made, which required several opening and closing of the door leaf.

Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une gâche de serrure auto-réglable, c'est-à-dire à réglage automatique et positif par une action de fermeture unique du battant de porte, ce qui représente un gain de temps important et permet en outre le montage de battants de porte préalablement et entièrement garnis.Also, the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a self-adjusting lock keeper, that is to say with automatic and positive adjustment by a single closing action of the door leaf, which represents a significant time savings and also allows the installation of door leaves previously and fully garnished.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une gâche de serrure pour battant de véhicule automobile par exemple et du type comprenant une semelle dont est solidaire une pièce présentant la forme générale d'un U sur lequel peut s'accrocher un pêne, crochet ou analogue, caractérisée en ce que les deux branches du U de la pièce d'accrochage sont recourbées dans deux plans perpendiculaires à l'axe de pivotement du battant, et la semelle est constituée de deux platines entre lesquelles peuvent être préalablement montées coulissantes les deux branches recourbées du U pour permettre un auto-­positionnement de ce U sous l'effet de la fermeture du battant, tandis que des moyens sont prévus pour serrer élastiquement les platines en vue de réaliser l'auto-­positionnement du U et pour effectuer, après cet auto-­positionnement, le blocage du U entre les deux platines et la fixation de ces platines.To this end, the subject of the invention is a lock keeper for a door leaf of a motor vehicle for example and of the type comprising a sole to which is attached a part having the general shape of a U on which can be hooked a bolt, hook or the like, characterized in that the two branches of the U of the attachment piece are bent in two planes perpendicular to the pivot axis of the leaf, and the sole consists of two plates between which the two can be slidably mounted beforehand curved branches of the U to allow self-positioning of this U under the effect of closing the leaf, while means are provided for elastically tightening the plates in order to achieve self-positioning of the U and to perform, after this self-positioning, the blocking of the U between the two plates and the fixing of these plates.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de cette gâche, les deux platines sont assemblées à l'aide d'au moins une tige, de préférence cylindrique, coopérant avec des languettes solidaires de l'un des bords des deux platines.According to another characteristic of this keeper, the two plates are assembled using at least one rod, preferably cylindrical, cooperating with tongues integral with one of the edges of the two plates.

Suivant encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tige est de préférence réalisée en un matériau élastiquement déformable, caoutchouc ou matière analogue.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the rod is preferably made of an elastically deformable material, rubber or similar material.

L'une des platines comporte au moins une patte d'accrochage de cette platine dans une ouverture de l'autre platine.One of the plates has at least one lug for hooking this plate into an opening in the other plate.

On précisera encore ici que l'une des platines comporte sur ses deux bords opposés une languette arquée apte à recevoir les deux branches recourbées du U formant la pièce d'accrochage du pêne ou crochet précité.We will also specify here that one of the plates has on its two opposite edges an arcuate tongue capable of receiving the two curved branches of the U forming the attachment part of the aforementioned bolt or hook.

Selon une autre caractéristique de la gâche conforme à l'invention, la platine située en dessous de celle comportant les languettes arquées précitées est munie de bossages sur lesquels peuvent prendre appui les branches recourbées du U.According to another characteristic of the keeper according to the invention, the plate located below that comprising the aforementioned arcuate tongues is provided with bosses on which the curved branches of the U can bear.

On précisera encore que chaque branche recourbée du U porte à son extrémité libre un ergot ou analogue.It will also be specified that each curved branch of the U carries at its free end a lug or the like.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de cette invention, les deux platines sont munies chacune d'un orifice, de préférence oblong, apte à recevoir un élément fileté permettant le serrage élastique et la fixation de ces platines avec la pièce d'accrochage en U sur la caisse d'un véhicule par exemple.According to yet another characteristic of this invention, the two plates are each provided with an orifice, preferably oblong, capable of receiving a threaded element allowing the elastic clamping and fixing of these plates with the U-shaped attachment part on the body of a vehicle for example.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de cette gâche, on prévoit, de part et d'autre de l'orifice de la platine comportant les bossages précités, une ouverture allongée recevant les branches recourbées du U.According to another characteristic of this keeper, there is provision, on either side of the orifice of the plate comprising the above-mentioned bosses, an elongated opening receiving the curved branches of the U.

Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la gâche selon l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en élévation de la gâche ;

  • FIG. 9 is an elevation and side view of this upper plate, according to arrow IX in FIG. 8.

Suivant un exemple de réalisation, et en se reportant aux dessins, on voit qu'une gâche de serrure conforme à cette invention, comprend essentiellement trois pièces, à savoir une première platine ou platine inférieure 1, une deuxième platine, ou platine supérieure 2, et une pièce d'accrochage en forme générale de U 3 retenue entre les deux platines 1 et 2.According to an exemplary embodiment, and with reference to the drawings, it can be seen that a lock keeper in accordance with this invention essentially comprises three parts, namely a first plate or lower plate 1, a second plate, or upper plate 2, and a generally U-shaped attachment piece 3 retained between the two plates 1 and 2.

Ces trois pièces sont pré-assemblées à l'aide d'une tige 4, de préférence cylindrique, réalisée en caoutchouc ou matière analogue et qui forme en quelque sorte une clé élastiquement déformable.These three parts are pre-assembled using a rod 4, preferably cylindrical, made of rubber or similar material and which in a way forms an elastically deformable key.

L'ensemble des pièces ci-dessus formant la gâche peut être maintenu et fixé sur par exemple le plancher d'un véhicule par une vis 5 munie d'une rondelle imperdable 6, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 1.All of the above parts forming the keeper can be maintained and fixed on, for example, the floor of a vehicle by a screw 5 provided with a captive washer 6, as can be seen in FIG. 1.

La pièce d'accrochage en forme de U 3, comme on le voit sur les figures 4 et 7 notamment comporte deux branches 3a qui sont recourbées dans deux plans sensiblement parallèles et perpendiculaires à l'axe de pivotement du battant (non représenté), cet axe étant parallèle à l'axe de la tige cylindrique ou clé 4. Ces deux branches recourbées ou arquées 3a sont raccordées par une partie 3b formant en quelque sorte une barrette sur laquelle s'accrochera le pêne ou crochet de la serrure. On observera ici que la barrette 3b présente elle-même quelque peu la forme d'un U dont la base est constituée par la barrette 3b elle-même et dont les branches 3c se raccordent aux branches recourbées 3a.The U-shaped attachment part 3, as can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 7 in particular, comprises two branches 3a which are bent in two planes substantially parallel and perpendicular to the pivot axis of the leaf (not shown), this axis being parallel to the axis of the cylindrical rod or key 4. These two curved or arcuate branches 3a are connected by a part 3b forming in a way a bar on which the bolt or hook of the lock will hang. It will be observed here that the strip 3b itself has somewhat the shape of a U, the base of which is formed by the strip 3b itself and whose branches 3c are connected to the curved branches 3a.

On a montré en 7 des ergots prévus au voisinage de l'extrémité libre des branches recourbées 3a, et permettant, lors d'un coulissement de ces branches, leur retenue sur les deux platines 1, 2.In 7 have been shown lugs provided in the vicinity of the free end of the curved branches 3a, and allowing, when these branches slide, their retention on the two plates 1, 2.

La platine inférieure 1 comporte sur l'un de ses bords une pluralité de languettes déformées 8 qui coopèrent avec des languettes 9 faisant saillie d'un bord de la platine supérieure 2 pour recevoir la tige ou clé 4, comme on le voit bien sur les figures 1 à 4. Comme cela est bien visible sur ces figures, et en particulier sur la figure 2, les languettes 8 et 9 sont intercalées et imbriquées de telle façon que la tige ou clé 4 puisse retenir les platines 1 et 2 l'une contre l'autre.The lower plate 1 has on one of its edges a plurality of deformed tongues 8 which cooperate with tongues 9 projecting from one edge of the upper plate 2 to receive the rod or key 4, as can be seen on the Figures 1 to 4. As is clearly visible in these figures, and in particular in Figure 2, the tongues 8 and 9 are interposed and nested so that the rod or key 4 can retain the plates 1 and 2 one against each other.

La platine inférieure 1 comporte sur son bord opposé à celui portant les languettes 8, une patte 10 faisant saillie vers le haut, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 4, et s'accrochant dans une ouverture 11 ménagée dans la platine supérieure 2.The lower plate 1 has on its edge opposite to that carrying the tongues 8, a tab 10 projecting upwards, as can be seen in FIG. 4, and hooking in an opening 11 provided in the upper plate 2.

En son centre, et comme on le voit bien sur la figure 5, la platine inférieure 1 comporte un orifice oblong 12 de part et d'autre duquel se trouve une ouverture allongée 13 susceptible de guider au coulissement les branches recourbées 3a de la pièce d'accrochage 3 en forme générale de U.In its center, and as can be seen in FIG. 5, the lower plate 1 has an oblong orifice 12 on either side of which there is an elongated opening 13 capable of guiding the curved branches 3a of the part d to slide. 'hanging 3 in general U shape.

La platine inférieure 1 comporte encore quatre bossages 14 situés sensiblement aux quatre angles de ladite platine, l'ouverture allongée 13 de part et d'autre de l'orifice 12 étant située entre deux bossages, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 5. Les bossages 14, réalisés par exemple par emboutissage, font saillie du plan de la platine inférieure 1 de même que les languettes 8 précédemment mentionnées et qui sont au nombre de trois suivant l'exemple représenté.The lower plate 1 also comprises four bosses 14 located substantially at the four corners of said plate, the elongated opening 13 on either side of the orifice 12 being located between two bosses, as can be seen in FIG. 5. The bosses 14, produced for example by stamping, protrude from the plane of the lower plate 1 as well as the tongues 8 previously mentioned and which are three in number according to the example shown.

La platine supérieure 2, comme on le voit bien sur les figures 8 et 9, comporte, outre l'ouverture 11 ménagée dans une patte 15, et outre les languettes 9 qui sont au nombre de deux, deux languettes arquées et opposées 16 qui sont aptes à recevoir les deux branches recourbées 3a du U formant la pièce d'accrochage 3.The upper plate 2, as can be seen in Figures 8 and 9, comprises, in addition to the opening 11 formed in a lug 15, and in addition to the tongues 9 which are two in number, two arcuate and opposite tongues 16 which are able to receive the two curved branches 3a of the U forming the attachment part 3.

Au centre de la platine supérieure 2 est ménagé un orifice oblong 17 susceptible de venir en correspondance avec l'orifice oblong 12 de la platine inférieure 1 de façon à permettre le passage de la vis 5 précédemment mentionnée.In the center of the upper plate 2 is formed an oblong orifice 17 capable of coming into correspondence with the oblong orifice 12 of the lower plate 1 so as to allow the passage of the screw 5 previously mentioned.

On observera ici que, comme cela est visible sur la figure 4, la patte 15 de la platine 2 comportant l'ouverture 11 s'intercale entre deux pattes relevées 18 de la platine 1, ces deux pattes relevées 18 étant situées de part et d'autre de la patte d'accrochage 10 précédemment mentionnée.It will be observed here that, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the tab 15 of the plate 2 comprising the opening 11 is inserted between two raised tabs 18 of the plate 1, these two raised tabs 18 being located on either side of the latching tab 10 previously mentioned.

Pour une meilleure compréhension de l'invention, on expliquera ci-après le montage et le réglage de la gâche de serrure qui vient d'être décrite.For a better understanding of the invention, the assembly and adjustment of the lock keeper which has just been described will be explained below.

La gâche constituée par les deux platines 1, 2 et par la pièce d'accrochage en forme de U 3 forme un tout assemblé par la tige ou clé 4 et par la patte d'accrochage 10. Cet ensemble est fixé sur le plancher du véhicule à l'aide de la vis 5, et cela de manière relativement lâche pour laisser à la pièce en U 3 la possibilité de coulisser par ses branches 3a entre les platines 1 et 2, c'est-à-dire, plus précisément, dans les languettes arquées 16 de la platine 2 et en appui sur les bossages 14 de la platine 1.The keeper constituted by the two plates 1, 2 and by the U-shaped attachment piece 3 forms a whole assembled by the rod or key 4 and by the attachment tab 10. This assembly is fixed to the vehicle floor using the screw 5, and this in a relatively loose manner to leave the U-shaped part 3 the possibility of sliding by its branches 3a between the plates 1 and 2, that is to say, more precisely, in the arcuate tongues 16 of the plate 2 and resting on the bosses 14 of the plate 1.

On effectue alors la fermeture du battant de coffre avec un effort suffisant de manière à permettre le coulissement de la pièce en U 3 et la compression du joint d'étanchéité du battant de coffre ou hayon. Ensuite, on ouvre le hayon, et on sera certain que la pièce en U 3 sera dans la position correcte d'accrochage du pêne ou crochet solidaire du battant, et permettant l'écrasement du joint d'étanchéité entourant la baie. Ensuite, le serrage de la vis 5 qui était en quelque sorte un serrage élastique des deux platines 1 et 2 est achevé, de façon à bloquer la gâche sur le plancher du véhicule.The boot flap is then closed with sufficient force so as to allow the U-piece 3 to slide and the seal of the boot flap or tailgate to be compressed. Then, the tailgate is opened, and it will be certain that the U-shaped part 3 will be in the correct position for hooking the bolt or hook secured to the leaf, and allowing the crushing of the seal surrounding the bay. Then, the tightening of the screw 5 which was in a way an elastic tightening of the two plates 1 and 2 is completed, so as to block the keeper on the floor of the vehicle.

C'est dire que la gâche selon cette invention évite les nombreux réglages et manipulations du battant de la pièce en U de la gâche, puisque, dès la première fermeture du battant, on réalisera l'auto-positionnement de la pièce d'accrochage en U de la gâche grâce à deux mouvements simultanés de cette pièce, à savoir un glissement ou coulissement dans une direction et un basculement dans l'autre.This means that the keeper according to this invention avoids the numerous adjustments and manipulations of the leaf of the U-shaped part of the keeper, since, from the first closing of the leaf, the self-positioning of the attachment part will be carried out. U of the strike thanks to two simultaneous movements of this part, namely a sliding or sliding in one direction and a tilting in the other.
