Description
- The present invention refers to a device for operating the lock of a vehicle and in particular to a device for operating a rear lock of a sliding door of a van simply and economically by means of handles placed at the front part of the door.
- It is known that on some types of vehicles, vans in particular, the handles and other devices by which the door lock of the vehicle is operated (in particular in the case of sliding doors) can be installed away from the position at which the door lock is mounted. In this case it is necessary to operate the lock by means of remote linkages, which must be equal in number to the operating functions in the lock. Since the operating devices in use today perform at least four different functions: opening the door by an external handle, opening by an internal handle, locking the lock by means of an external key, locking by an internal safety button, it is clear that at least four rods would be required to operate these functions directly at the lock (a fifth function, known as a child safety lock, which consists of locking the handle internally, can always be obtained locally in correspondence with said handle). This, however, would result in excessive complexity of the operating device in both construction and assembly.
- At present this problem is solved by using two different locks, a first placed in front in correspondence with the controls and performing the above functions and a second placed at the rear of the door and required only to lock/unlock the door. The first lock acts on a single rod which directly controls the engagement of the second lock. This solution, however, is rather costly in economic terms. Another known solution, in which the lock is operated by a single rod controlled by several levers each performing one of the above functions, is also too costly in economic terms and in any event is very complex to construct and operate.
- An aim of the invention is to produce a device for operating the door lock of a vehicle, capable also of operating the lock from a significant distance by performing all four of the above functions, and which is at the same time very simple to construct and operate and can be manufactured at low cost.
- The said aim is achieved by the invention, which relates to a device for operating the lock of a vehicle, comprising a first handle assembly mountable externally on a vehicle door, a second handle assembly mountable internally on the door, a key unit operable from outside the door, and a safety button operable from inside the door, characterized by the fact that it further comprises : an operating plate on which said handle assemblies, key unit and safety button act and which is attached by a first rod to said lock; means for rotatively supporting said plate comprising a first pin, integral with one of said handle assemblies and slidably engaged in a substantially rectilinear first aperture of the plate, and a linkage connected at one end to a point integral with one of the handle assemblies and at the opposite end to the said plate; and a second pin, integral with the first pin, which is engaged in a substantially L-shaped second aperture of the plate comprising a first substantially rectilinear branch positioned parallel to the first aperture and of length substantially identical to that of the latter, and a second branch positioned substiantially orthogonal to the first branch in correspondence with a first end thereof disposed towards said first aperture; said plate being capable, when in a first position in which the first pin is at the limit of travel against a first end of the first aperture and the second pin is in correspondence with said second branch of the second aperture, at the limit of travel against the first end of said first branch, of being rotated around the first pin by operation of one of the handle assemblies to operate the lock through the first rod; the plate being also linked with said key unit and safety button respectively by a second and a third rod in such a manner as to be capable of being moved, by operation thereof, to a second position in which the first and second pins are at the limit of travel against respective ends of the first aperture and of the first branch of the second aperture, opposite said first ends thereof, in such a mannner as to prevent rotation of the plate.
- For a better understanding of the invention, a non-limitative description is now given of one embodiment thereof, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- figure 1 illustrates in elevation the operating device according to the invention applied to a vehicle door;
- figure 2 illustrates in section the device of figure 1 viewed in plan from above; and
- figures 3,4,5, illustrate three different positions of operation of the device of figure 1.
- With reference to figures 1 to 5, there is indicated as a whole with 1 a device for operating a known lock, not illustrated for simplicity, of a vehicle door 2 (also not illustrated for simplicity), in particular a sliding door of a van, of which only an upper front portion housing the
device 1 is illustrated in figures 1 and 2. It comprises essentially a knownfirst handle assembly 3, mountable externally on thedoor 2, asecond handle assembly 4, also known, mountable internally on thedoor 2, a knownkey unit 5, operable from outside the door and mounted integrally on the outside ofdoor 2 in a known manner, not illustrated for simplicity, and a safety button 6 operable from inside the door, for example placed in correspondence with a window 7 thereof. According to the invention, thedevice 1 further comprises anoperating plate 10 bent appropriately, on which act simultaneously either handleassemblies key unit 5 and button 6 and which in turn acts in a known manner, not illustrated for simplicity, on the said lock not illustrated, for example by controlling the engagement of the lock directly by means ofrod 11 so as to produce, whenrod 11 is put under traction, the release of the said lock to be operated, thus causing the said lock to open. -
Plate 10 is supported rotatively ondoor 2 by means of acylindrical pin 12 engaged slidably in a substantiallyrectilinear aperature 13 throughplate 10 and, in the example, obtained integrally as part ofhandle assembly 3, and by aspring 14, of the so-called "bistable" type, which is attached rotatively hinged, in parallel with the plane ofplate 10, at one end to a point integral with thedoor 2, in the example to handleassembly 3 to whichpin 12 is also integral and at the opposite end toplate 10, in the example engaged in ahole 15 of the same excentric device with respect toaperture 13. In this way thespring 14 is capable of operating as a linkage which can selectivelytrip plate 10 into two different positions, the first illustrated in figures 1,3,4 and the second in figure 5, in whichpin 12 is positioned at the limit of travel inaperture 13 in correspondence respectively with a lower end 17 (in the first position) and an upper end 19 (in the second position) of the saidaperture 13. Bothends pin 12. - According to the invention,
device 1 further comprises asecond pin 16 obtained integral to 12 in a lateral offset position with respect to it, for example always obtained as part of thehandle assembly 3,pin 16 being engaged in asecond aperture 21 throughplate 10, obtained to one side and in an advanced position, through alug portion 18 of thesaid plate 10.Aperture 21 is substantially L-shaped, and comprises a substantially rectilinearfirst branch 23 positioned parallel toaperture 13 and having a length substantially identical to the latter, and asecond branch 22 positioned substantially orthogonal tobranch 23 and obtained in correspondence with anend 24 of the latter, disposed towardsaperture 13.Branch 22 ofaperture 21 is curved and, in the example, has a curvilinear profile having the centre of curviture in correspondence withend 17 ofaperture 13. In this way, whenplate 10 is in the said first position of figures 3,4,pins lower ends apertures pin 16 is aligned withcurved branch 22. In this position it is evident thatplate 10 is free to rotate aroundpin 12 in the direction of the arrow (figure 3) by moving from the angular configuration of figure 3 to that of figure 4, since duringrotation pin 18 is free to slide incurved branch 22 of L-shaped aperture 21 following a trajectory which has its centre exactly atend 17 occupied bypin 12. -
Device 1 finally comprises acompression spring 26 capable of preventing the abovementioned rotation ofplate 10. Thespring 26, of the helical type, is fitted directly onpin 12 and is connected integrally to it engaged at one end for example through a radial hole therein and, at the opposite end, is engaged slidably in a furtherrectilinear aperature 27 throughplate 10 obtained parallel withaperture 13, on the part opposite to 21 and in a position less advanced than that of 13, and having the same length asaperture 13.Plate 10 is further provided withrespective contact lugs thrust levers 31 controlled in a known manner, against the action ofrespective compression springs 50, by respective knownpivoted handles 32 ofhandle assemblies pins apertures branch 23 ofaperture 21 are designed in such a manner that in the first position that can be adopted by plate 10 (figures 1,3,4) thelugs handles 32 from the position illustrated by the continuous line to that illustrated by a dashed line (figure 2), thelugs respective levers 31 receiving from them a thrust in the direction of the arrows capable of rotatingplate 10 aroundpin 12 in the direction of the arrow (figure 4). - When
plate 10 is, vice versa, in the said second position of figure 5 thelugs levers 31, but beneath them. Therefore, whenhandles 32 are operated with consequent rotation oflevers 31, these are moved from the position illustrated by a continuous line to that illustrated by the dashed line (figure 5), but cannot interceptlugs plate 10. Theplate 10 is selectively moved between the said two different positions by action onrespective attachment lugs 40 by means ofrespective rods key unit 5. Thelugs 40 are obtained on opposite parts with respect toaperture 13, in a position substantially equidistant therefrom.Rod 11 which controls the engagement of the lock to be operated is vice versa fixed to an L-shaped lever 43 obtained as part ofplate 10 in a position diagonally opposite to aperture 13 with respect tobistable spring 14.Lever 43 is further positioned parallel and excentric toapertures - In use,
device 1 normally operates withplate 10 in the position and angular configuration of figure 3.Spring 14 holdsplate 10 withpins apertures ends rod 11 is not stressed and the lock is therefore controlled in the closed position. To open thedoor 2 it is sufficient to act on any of thehandles 32. These rotate one of thelevers 31 which intercepts one of thelugs pin 12. Thusplate 10 rotates aroundpin 12, against the action ofspring 26 which goes into tension, to reach the angular position at the limit of travel shown in figure 4, which is stabilised by the abutment ofpin 16 against the end ofcurved branch 22 ofaperture 21 opposite toend 24 ofbranch 23 thereof. During this rotation,rod 11 is put under tension in the direction of the arrow and controls the release of the lock, with consequent opening thereof. When thehandle 32 which was operated is released, thespring 26 resetsplate 10 in the position of figure 4, whereby the lock can be locked again following closure of the door. - The functions of locking and safety, with
door 2 shut, are always performed byplate 10 when it is placed in the position of figure 5. This is obtained by acting either on key unit 5 (locking) or on button 6 (safety), so as to move in the direction of the arrow either rod 41 (which in this case acts as a remote control) orrod 42. This action applies to plate 10 a downward thrust in the direction of the arrow (figure 5) consequently stressingspring 14 which rotates in the direction of the arrow and triggers the movement of theplate 10 from the position of figure 3 to that of figure 5, bringingpins ends apertures rod 11 is impossible: in fact, on one hand operation ofhandle 32 cannot produce any moment onplate 10, as thelugs levers 31; on the other hand, rotation ofplate 10 aroundpin 12 is impossible as it is prevented bypin 16, which, being engaged inend 18 and incapable of lateral movement relative toplate 10, operates as an angular locking device. - The functions of child safety if required can be performed in a traditional manner by acting directly on
handle assembly 4, by means of a known mechanism, not illustrated for simplicity, which prevents the rotation of therespective lever 31. - From what has been described the advantages connected with the invention are evident. All four principal functions of the lock can be performed in correspondence with handles simply by means of a low cost plate that can be easily produced, mounted and replaced if it breaks. The lock is then operated by the plate by means of a single rod or remote control, providing an operating device of maximum simplicity, limited weight and dimensions and low cost; the lock to be operated can finally be put in the rear part of the door, at a significant distance from the controls, which can be positioned vice versa in the front part.
