Sur la figure 1 on a représenté une porte P de véhicule automobile avec ses charnières C1 et C2. La charnière inférieure C2 peut être une charnière de type connu, la charnière supérieure C1 étant une charnière selon la présente invention qui va être plus particulièrement décrite en se reportant aux figures 2 à 6.
La charnière à arrêt de porte C1 selon l'invention est constituée d'un charnon fixe 1 monté sur la caisse V du véhicule au moyen d'une bride 1a et d'un charnon mobile 2 fixé sur la porte P du véhicule également au moyen d'une bride 2a de façon connue en soi.
Le charnon fixe 1 comporte un alésage cylindrique 3 pourvu d'encoches 4 et d'évidements 5. Il reçoit un axe d'articulation 6 tournant entre deux paliers 7 et 8 munis de bagues autolubrifiantes 9 et 10. Ces paliers 7 et 8 sont vissés à chaque extrémité de l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 pour permettre le montage de l'axe d'articulation 6. Cet axe d'articulation 6 comporte une partie centrale de plus grand diamètre, 6a munie de bossages 11 répartis à sa périphérie par groupe de deux.
Entre l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 et l'axe d'articulation 6a sont insérées trois lames élastiques ou ressorts 12 (figures 4 et 5) destinées à coopérer avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation 6a.
Chaque lame élastique ou ressort 12 (figure 6) comporte en son milieu une protubérance 13 prenant appui sur les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation 6a et des pattes 14 destinées à venir se loger dans les encoches 4 de l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 pour maintenir la lame élastique 12 en place dans ledit alésage lors de la rotation de l'axe 6.
Le charnon mobile 2 fixé sur la porte P est monté à l'extrémité supérieure de l'axe d'articulation 6 (fig.1 et 2) et est rendu solitaire dudit axe de façon que l'ouverture et la fermeture de la porte entraîne le pivotement dudit axe 6.
Cette solidarisation peut être obtenue par trois moyens représentés sur les figures 7 à 9 :FIG. 17 is a perspective view of an elastic blade of the hinge of FIG. 15.
In Figure 1 there is shown a door P of a motor vehicle with its hinges C1 and C2. The lower hinge C2 can be a hinge of known type, the upper hinge C1 being a hinge according to the present invention which will be more particularly described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.
The door stop hinge C1 according to the invention consists of a fixed knuckle 1 mounted on the body V of the vehicle by means of a flange 1a and a movable knuckle 2 fixed on the door P of the vehicle also by means a flange 2a in a manner known per se.
The fixed knuckle 1 has a cylindrical bore 3 provided with notches 4 and recesses 5. It receives a hinge pin 6 rotating between two bearings 7 and 8 provided with self-lubricating rings 9 and 10. These bearings 7 and 8 are screwed at each end of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 to allow the mounting of the hinge pin 6. This hinge pin 6 comprises a central part of larger diameter, 6a provided with bosses 11 distributed at its periphery in groups of two.
Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a are inserted three elastic blades or springs 12 (Figures 4 and 5) intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin 6a.
Each elastic blade or spring 12 (FIG. 6) has in its middle a protuberance 13 bearing on the bosses 11 of the hinge pin 6a and lugs 14 intended to be housed in the notches 4 of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 to hold the elastic blade 12 in place in said bore when the axis 6 rotates.
The movable knuckle 2 fixed on the door P is mounted at the upper end of the articulation axis 6 (fig. 1 and 2) and is made solitary of said axis so that the opening and closing of the door causes the pivoting of said axis 6.
This connection can be obtained by three means shown in Figures 7 to 9:

- Soit par une vis 15 serrée dans un logement 16 de l'axe 6 (fig.7).- Either by a screw 15 tightened in a housing 16 of the axis 6 (fig.7).

- Soit au moyen de cannelures 17 réalisées dans le charnon mobile 2 et dans l'axe 6, une vis de pression 18 étant logée dans une gorge 19 de l'axe d'articulation 6 pour assurer un maintien en translation (fig. 8A-8B).- Either by means of grooves 17 made in the movable knuckle 2 and in the axis 6, a pressure screw 18 being housed in a groove 19 of the articulation axis 6 to ensure a maintenance in translation (FIG. 8A- 8B).

- Soit au moyen de cannelures coniques 20 réalisées dans le charnon mobile 2 et l'axe 6, une vis de blocage 21 assurant le maitien en translation.
Le fonctionnement de la charnière selon l'invention est le suivant :
. Lorsque l'on ouvre la porte, le charnon mobile 2 entraîne l'axe d'articulation 6 en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une des trois liaisons décrites et représentées sur les figures 7 à 9.
La rotation de l'axe 6 amène ses bossages 11 contre le bossage 13 de chacune des lames élastiques 12 provoquant la flexion de chaque lame 12 entraînant l'effacement du bossage 13 à l'intérieur de l'évidement 5 du charnon fixe 1. C'est l'effort d'effacement des lames élastiques (ressorts) 12 qui génère un couple de manoeuvre au niveau de la porte P du véhicule.
Les pattes 14 des lames élastiques 12 logées dans les encoches 4 les empêchent de tourner sous l'effort de rotation de l'axe 6.
Les lames élastiques 12 comportent des renforts 12a de manière à assurer la rigidité du bossage 13 (figure 6).
Sur les figures 10 à 12, on a représenté en coupe l'axe d'articulation 6a avec les lames élastiques 12 montées dans l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 dans trois positions différentes. Comme on peut le voir sur ces figures, les bossages 11 de l'axe 6a sont disposés par groupe de deux afin d'obtenir deux points 11a et 11b de maintien sur la course de rotation de la porte, la variation du nombre de bossages 11 par groupe permettant de faire varier le nombre de points de maintien de la porte. Sur les figures, on a représenté l'axe 6a dans la position porte ouverte (fig.10) porte ouverte en position parking (fig.11) et porte fermée (fig.12).
Bien entendu, le nombre de bossages et de lames élastiques peut être moindre ou plus élevé pour obtenir des efforts de manoeuvre différents.
Par exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 14 une variante de réalisation de la charnière selon l'invention dans laquelle chaque moyen élastique est constitué de deux lames superposées, 12 et 12′. Ces lames peuvent avoir une configuration identique ou bien être différentes selon l'effort de manoeuvre que l'on désire obtenir.
De même, les angles sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs.
La butée pleine ouverture est assurée par une patte 22 du charnon mobile 2 qui vient au contact avec une portée 23 du charnon fixe 1 comme représenté sur la figure 13 qui montre, en plan, la charnière selon l'invention, la porte du véhicule ouverte au maximum.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif d'arrêt de porte précédemment décrit peut être inversé. Dans cette réalisation, l'axe d'articulation 6 avec sa partie centrale 6a, comportant des bossages 11 et les lames élastiques 12 destinées à coopérer avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation 6a sont disposés dans le charnon mobile 2.
Une variante de réalisation de la charnière à arrêt de porte intégré va maintenant être décrite. Cette réalisation a pour objet de renforcer la résistance des lames élastiques et d'augmenter ainsi leur longévité. Dans cette variante de réalisation on insère des butées en matériau élastique entre les lames 12 et l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1.
Ces butées disposées dans des logements prévus à cet effet dans le corps du charnon fixe, jouent un rôle d'amortisseur ou de ressort. Lors de la rotation de l'axe 6 du charnon mobile 2 lesdites butées élastiques sont comprimées et permettent d'obtenir des couples de manoeuvre importants.
Par ailleurs, la configuration des lames élastiques 12 est modifiée.
Dans la réalisation précedemment décrite ces lames comportaient chacune, trois pattes de fixation 14 ainsi que trois renforts 12a, destinés à assurer la rigidité du bossage 13. La lame élastique selon la variante ne comporte plus qu'un bord ou rebord continu plié assurant plus de rigidité à ladite lame.- Either by means of conical grooves 20 made in the movable knuckle 2 and the axis 6, a locking screw 21 ensuring the maitien in translation.
The operation of the hinge according to the invention is the following :
. When the door is opened, the movable knuckle 2 drives the articulation axis 6 in rotation via one of the three connections described and shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
The rotation of the axis 6 brings its bosses 11 against the boss 13 of each of the elastic blades 12 causing the bending of each blade 12 causing the boss 13 to be erased inside the recess 5 of the fixed knuckle 1. C 'is the erasing force of the elastic blades (springs) 12 which generates an operating torque at the door P of the vehicle.
The tabs 14 of the elastic blades 12 housed in the notches 4 prevent them from rotating under the rotational force of the axis 6.
The elastic blades 12 have reinforcements 12a so as to ensure the rigidity of the boss 13 (FIG. 6).
In Figures 10 to 12, there is shown in section the hinge axis 6a with the elastic blades 12 mounted in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 in three different positions. As can be seen in these figures, the bosses 11 of the axis 6a are arranged in groups of two in order to obtain two points 11a and 11b for holding on the door rotation stroke, the variation in the number of bosses 11 per group allowing the number of door holding points to be varied. In the figures, the axis 6a is shown in the open door position (fig.10) with the door open in the parking position (fig.11) and the door closed (fig.12).
Of course, the number of bosses and elastic blades can be lower or higher to obtain different operating forces.
For example, there is shown in Figure 14 a variant embodiment of the hinge according to the invention in which each elastic means consists of two superimposed blades, 12 and 12 ′. These blades can have an identical configuration or be different depending on the maneuvering effort that one wishes to obtain.
Likewise, the angles are given by way of examples and are not limiting.
The full opening stop is provided by a tab 22 of the movable knuckle 2 which comes into contact with a bearing surface 23 of the fixed knuckle 1 as shown in FIG. 13 which shows, in plan, the hinge according to the invention, the door of the vehicle open to the maximum.
Furthermore, the door stop device described above can be reversed. In this embodiment, the articulation axis 6 with its central part 6a, comprising bosses 11 and the elastic blades 12 intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the articulation axis 6a are arranged in the movable knuckle 2.
An alternative embodiment of the hinge with integrated door stop will now be described. The object of this embodiment is to strengthen the resistance of the elastic blades and thus increase their longevity. In this variant embodiment, stops of elastic material are inserted between the blades 12 and the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.
These stops arranged in housings provided for this purpose in the body of the fixed knuckle, act as a damper or spring. During the rotation of the axis 6 of the movable knuckle 2 said elastic stops are compressed and make it possible to obtain significant operating torques.
Furthermore, the configuration of the elastic blades 12 is modified.
In the embodiment described above these blades each included, three fixing lugs 14 as well as three reinforcements 12a, intended to ensure the rigidity of the boss 13. The elastic blade according to the variant now only has a folded continuous edge or rim ensuring more rigidity in said blade.

En se reportant aux figures 15 et 16, on retrouve en coupe le charnon fixe 1 comportant un alésage cylindrique 3 pourvu d'encoches 4 et d'évidements 5 ; un axe d'articulation 6 tournant entre deux paliers 7 et 8 munis de bagues autolubrifiantes 9 et 10, lesdits paliers étant vissés à chaque extrémité de l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1. L'axe d'articulation comporte des bossages 11 dans sa partie centrale 6a. Entre l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 et l'axe d'articulation 6a, sont insérées trois lames flexibles 12 qui coopèrent avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation. Au dos de chaque lame élastique 12 sont insérées des butées 30 également élastiques disposées dans des logements 31 prévus dans l'alésage 3 du charnon 1 fixe. Ces butées élastiques se présentent sous la forme d'un profilé, en matériau élastomère ou analogue, ayant une section lui permettant d'épouser d'un côté, sur le dos de la lame 12, la forme du bossage 13, et de l'autre de se loger et de s'y maintenir, dans la rainure constituant son logement 31 prévu dans l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1.Referring to Figures 15 and 16, there is in section the fixed knuckle 1 having a cylindrical bore 3 provided with notches 4 and recesses 5; an articulation axis 6 rotating between two bearings 7 and 8 provided with self-lubricating rings 9 and 10, said bearings being screwed at each end of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1. The articulation axis includes bosses 11 in its central part 6a. Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a, three flexible blades 12 are inserted which cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin. On the back of each elastic blade 12 are inserted stops 30, also elastic, disposed in housings 31 provided in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1. These elastic stops are in the form of a profile, of elastomeric material or the like, having a section allowing it to match on one side, on the back of the blade 12, the shape of the boss 13, and the other to lodge and stay there, in the groove constituting its housing 31 provided in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.

Par ailleurs, comme représenté sur la figure 17, chaque lame élastique ou flexible 12 avec son bossage 13 ne comporte plus qu'un rebord 32, obtenu par pliage ou emboutissage, à la place des pattes 14 de la précédente réalisation. Ce rebord continu 32 présente en son milieu, un enfoncement 32a, destiné à éviter tout jeu lorsqu'il est engagé dans l'encoche 4 de l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1. Ce rebord 32 donne plus de rigidité dans le sens longitudinal à la lame 12.Furthermore, as shown in Figure 17, each elastic or flexible blade 12 with its boss 13 has only a flange 32, obtained by folding or stamping, in place of the legs 14 of the previous embodiment. This continuous rim 32 has in its middle, a depression 32a, intended to avoid any play when it is engaged in the notch 4 of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1. This rim 32 gives more rigidity in the longitudinal direction to blade 12.

Le fonctionnement de cette charnière est le suivant : lors de l'ouverture de la porte, l'axe d'articulation 6 pivote.
La rotation de l'axe 6 amène ses bossages 11 contre le bossage 13 de chaque lame flexible 12 provoquant la flexion de celle-ci et la compression de la butée 30 en élastomère qui se trouve derrière elle.
L'effort d'effacement du bossage 13 ainsi que la compression de la butée 30 génèrent un couple important tout en assurant une meilleure tenue à la fatigue des lames 12. Par ailleurs, le bord 32 embouti des lames 12, assure un meilleur maintien dans les encoches 4, sans jeu, lors de la rotation de l'axe 6.The operation of this hinge is as follows: when the door is opened, the hinge pin 6 pivots.
The rotation of the axis 6 brings its bosses 11 against the boss 13 of each flexible blade 12 causing the latter to flex and compress the stopper 30 in elastomer which is behind it.
The effort of erasing the boss 13 as well as the compression of the stop 30 generate a significant torque while ensuring better resistance to fatigue of the blades 12. Furthermore, the stamped edge 32 of the blades 12, ensures better retention in the notches 4, without play, during the rotation of the axis 6.

La charnière avec arrêt de porte intégré selon l'invention permet, sur les chaînes de fabrication de véhicules de monter rapidement les portes, de les positionner et ensuite de les retirer pour le passage de la caisse dans le bain de peinture et leur remontage rapide et définitif et, en outre, assure un arrêt de porte dès le premier montage ;
Bien entendu, la présente invention peut s'appliquer à tout autre ouvrant dont on désire obtenir plusieurs points d'ouverture.The hinge with integrated door stop according to the invention allows, on vehicle production lines to quickly mount the doors, position them and then remove them for the passage of the body in the paint bath and their rapid reassembly and final and, moreover, ensures a door stop from the first assembly;
Of course, the present invention can be applied to any other opening which it is desired to obtain several opening points.
