Dans les lignes de peinture de carrosserie de véhicules automobiles la caisse destinée à être peinte est déjà munie de ses ouvrants (portes, capot, etc...), le plus souvent articulés, qui ne sont pas encore équipés de dispositifs de fermeture ou de serrure. Il est donc nécessaire de prévoir des dispositifs de fermeture amovibles appelés communément serrures postiches, lesquelles sont les plus souvent fixées par vis à la place de la fermeture définitive, et viennent pincer le bord de l'ouverture de la caisse. Or, ces serrures présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients lors de leur pose et de leur retrait qui tiennent principalement à la perte des vis tombant à l'intérieur des portes, occasionnant des bruits pendant le roulage du véhicule terminé, à l'apparition de déformations sur le panneau extérieur lors du démontage, et au risque d'avoir une peinture grainée dans la partie interne de l'encadrement d'entrée de porte de la caisse du véhicule.In motor vehicle body paint lines, the body intended to be painted is already fitted with its opening elements (doors, hood, etc.), most often articulated, which are not yet fitted with closing or locking devices. lock. It is therefore necessary to provide removable closing devices commonly called false locks, which are most often fixed by screws in place of the final closure, and pinch the edge of the opening of the box. However, these locks have a certain number of drawbacks during their installation and their removal which are mainly due to the loss of the screws falling inside the doors, causing noises during the running of the finished vehicle, the appearance of deformations on the exterior panel during disassembly, and the risk of having a grainy paint in the internal part of the door entry frame of the vehicle body.

En outre, on observe, lors de l'utilisation des dispositifs de fermeture provisoires classiques, des ouvertures intempestives de porte lors des manutentions.In addition, when using conventional temporary closing devices, untimely door openings are observed during handling.

La présente invention résout ces inconvénients et propose un dispositif de fermeture provisoire de porte, de conception simple et économique, ne nécessitant aucune vis de fixation, d'où il résulte une plus grande facilité et une plus grande rapidité de pose et de dépose du dispositif, l'opération de fermeture pouvant être réalisée manuellement ou automatiquement.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks and proposes a device for temporarily closing the door, of simple and economical design, requiring no fixing screws, which results in greater ease and greater speed of installation and removal of the device. , the closing operation can be performed manually or automatically.

Les parois respectivement, droite 17a pour le premier évidement précité 17, et gauche 13a pour le second évidement 13, se prolongent vers le haut de manière à former des parties en pointe 16, 14, entre lesquelles a été ménagé un troisième évidement 15 à paroi de fond incurvée, la plaque 10 formant à cette extrémité un anneau de manoeuvre 11. On remarquera également la présence d'une tige cylindrique 18 soudée à la jonction de la paroi latérale 17b et de la paroi de fond 17c du premier évidement précité 17, perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale de la plaque 10. Les rôles respectifs de ces pointes 16, 14, évidement 15 à fond incurvé, et tige 18 seront décrits lors de la description du fonctionnement du dispositif qui va suivre.In the upper part of the plate 10, and being slightly offset to the right with respect to the second notch 19, a recess 17 has been formed, of substantially parallelepipedal shape intended to receive the edge of a rebate 8 of the frame of the body opening 5 oriented towards the outside of the passenger compartment (at the junction of the roof panels and body side). In the vicinity of the end of the plate 10, opposite to that supporting the spring 20, a second recess 13 has been formed, intended to receive a flange of the rebate 7, of the door 6. The walls, respectively, straight 17a for the first abovementioned recess 17, and left 13a for the second recess 13, extend upwards so as to form pointed parts 16, 14, between which a third recess 15 has been formed with a curved bottom wall, the plate 10 forming at this end an operating ring 11. Note also the presence of a cylindrical rod 18 welded to the junction of the side wall 17b and the bottom wall 17c of the first aforementioned recess 17, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the plate 10 The respective roles of these points 16, 14, recess 15 with curved bottom, and rod 18 will be described during the description of the operation of the device which will follow.

En position hors service (non représenté sur les figures) du dispositif 1, les deux branches 22, 25 sont rappelées angulairement l'une vers l'autre par l'action de la double spire 21 dont la branche libre 25 prend appui, par sa partie 25b, contre la partie interne (C) de la boucle 22c formée par l'extrémité de l'autre branche 22, alors que la partie de la tige 22b précédant la boucle 22c est en appui élastique (A) contre la partie supérieure de la plaque 10.In the out-of-service position (not shown in the figures) of the device 1, the two branches 22, 25 are brought back angularly towards one another by the action of the double turn 21 whose free branch 25 is supported by its part 25b, against the internal part (C) of the loop 22c formed by the end of the other branch 22, while the part of the rod 22b preceding the loop 22c is in elastic support (A) against the upper part of plate 10.

La mise en service du dispositif est réalisée par la manipulation de l'anneau de manoeuvre 11 intégré au corps 10a, par l'intermédiaire duquel l'extrémité recourbée 25a de la branche dite libre 25, ou première branche, est accrochée sur le rebord 40 de la tôle de renfort de l'encadrement de caisse 5, puis en utilisant l'élasticité de ladite branche 25 du ressort 21, le rebord 8 de la feuillure de l'encadrement extérieur de la caisse 5 est introduit dans le premier évidement 17 de la plaque 10, de façon à ce que le dispositif de fermeture soit maintenu élastiquement par l'encadrement de l'ouverture de la caisse.The device is put into service by manipulating the operating ring 11 integrated into the body 10a, by means of which the curved end 25a of the so-called free branch 25, or first branch, is hung on the flange 40 of the reinforcement sheet of the body frame 5, then using the elasticity of said branch 25 of the spring 21, the rim 8 of the rebate of the outer frame of the body 5 is introduced into the first recess 17 of the plate 10, so that the closure device is held resiliently by framing the opening of the box.

Le dispositif mis en place, l'opération de fermeture de la porte 6 peut être réalisée. Pour ce faire, la porte 6 est amenée à proximité de l'ouverture de la caisse 5 jusqu'à ce que le rebord de feuillure 7 de porte (profilé supérieur de porte) atteigne la rampe d'extrémité 11a de la plaque 10 (figure 1), puis le rapprochement de la porte 6 de la caisse du véhicule 5 est poursuivi, provoquant le mouvement de la plaque 10 vers le bas à l'encontre de la force du ressort 20, afin de permettre à la fin du coulissement du rebord de feuillure 7 de porte 6 le long de la rampe 11a, l'insertion par encliquetage de ce rebord 7 dans le second évidement 13 de la partie supérieure de la plaque 10 (figure 2).With the device in place, the door 6 closing operation can be carried out. To do this, the door 6 is brought close to the opening of the body 5 until the door rebate edge 7 (upper door profile) reaches the end ramp 11a of the plate 10 (FIG. 1), then the approximation of the door 6 of the vehicle body 5 is continued, causing the movement of the plate 10 downwards against the force of the spring 20, in order to allow the end of the sliding of the rim door rebate 7 along the ramp 11a, the snap-fit insertion of this rim 7 into the second recess 13 of the upper part of the plate 10 (FIG. 2).

Dans cette position de service du dispositif de fermeture 1, le rebord de feuillure 7 de la porte 6 est rendu prisonnier de l'encoche correspondante 13 grâce à la force de rappel du ressort 20, lequel prend appui successivement, sur la tôle de renfort 40, par sa branche libre 25, sur la partie coudée à 90° 27 de la plaque 10 (en B) (en tension maximale), par l'extrémité de son autre branche 22, sur le fond de l'encoche 26 ménagée dans la partie coudée précitée 27, par la partie supérieure de la double spire 21, et enfin sur les parois délimitant l'encoche 19 ménagée dans la partie inférieure de la plaque 10, ladit encoche faisant office de butée longitudinale pour le ressort 20.In this operating position of the closing device 1, the rebate edge 7 of the door 6 is made captive of the corresponding notch 13 by virtue of the return force of the spring 20, which bears successively on the reinforcing sheet 40 , by its free branch 25, on the 90 ° bent part 27 of the plate 10 (at B) (at maximum tension), by the end of its other branch 22, on the bottom of the notch 26 formed in the aforementioned bent part 27, by the upper part of the double turn 21, and finally on the walls delimiting the notch 19 formed in the lower part of the plate 10, said notch serving as a longitudinal stop for the spring 20.

Le tube étiré soudé précité 18 permet d'éviter la mise en travers du dispositif de fermeture provisoire et assure en procurant une plus longue portée, un appui correct sur le rebord de la feuillure 8 d'entrée de caisse 5, tout en stabilisant également le dispositif de fermeture de porte au moment de l'opération de fermeture par l'opérateur ou par un moyen automatique. On notera, que la hauteur de la paroi verticale 17a du premier évidement 17 est telle qu'elle permet le débattement du rebord de la feuillure 8 de la caisse 5 par glissement de cette partie le long de la paroi verticale droite 17a pendant les opérations d'ouvertures et de fermetures de porte 6. On notera également que cette sécurité est renforcée par l'existence de la partie en saillie en forme de pointe 16 prolongeant la paroi précitée 17a, l'évidement 17 et la pointe précitée 16 permettant en outre d'accepter les différents écarts de hauteur entre le rebord de feuillure 8 d'entrée de porte de la caisse 5, et le rebord de feuillure 7 de la porte, lors de la fermeture.The aforementioned welded stretched tube 18 makes it possible to avoid the crossing of the temporary closing device and ensures, by providing a longer reach, correct support on the edge of the rebate 8 of the body entry 5, while also stabilizing the door closing device at the time of the closing operation by the operator or by an automatic means. It will be noted that the height of the vertical wall 17a of the first recess 17 is such that it allows the deflection of the edge of the rebate 8 of the body 5 by sliding this part along the straight vertical wall 17a during the operations of 'door openings and closings 6. It will also be noted that this security is reinforced by the existence of the point-shaped projecting part 16 extending the aforementioned wall 17a, the recess 17 and the aforementioned point 16 further allowing d 'accept the different height differences between the rabbet edge 8 of the body door 5 and the rabbet edge 7 of the door, when closing.

Et enfin, on notera d'une part que la pointe 14 réalisée dans le prolongement de la paroi gauche 13a du second évidement 13 permet l'arrêt de la porte 6 lors de la fermeture et évite les contacts tôle contre tôle (porte-entrée de porte), engendrant des défauts sur les surfaces recouvertes de peinture, que l'évidement 13 et la pointe 12 assurent le maintien en position fermée de la porte 6 résistant à tout effort d'ouverture, et que d'autre part l'évidement à fond incurvé 15 situé entre les deux évidements 17, 13 précités, a pour but d'éviter le défaut de contact de la plaque 10 sur l'arrondi 60 de l'encadrement intérieur de porte 6.And finally, it will be noted on the one hand that the tip 14 produced in the extension of the left wall 13a of the second recess 13 allows the door 6 to stop when closing and avoids sheet metal against sheet metal contacts (entry door of door), causing defects on the surfaces covered with paint, that the recess 13 and the tip 12 maintain the closed position of the door 6 resistant to any opening force, and that on the other hand the recess curved bottom 15 located between the two aforementioned recesses 17, 13, is intended to avoid the contact defect of the plate 10 on the flare 60 of the interior door frame 6.

Ce dispositif permet de diviser par treize le temps des opérations de pose et de dépose.This device makes it possible to divide by thirteen the time of installation and removal operations.

On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention un dispositif de fermeture de porte de conception simple et économique, de fonctionnement fiable, et de manipulation manuelle ou automatique particulièrement aisée, ce dispositif étant particulièrement approprié pour une utilisation dans des lignes de peinture de véhicules automobiles.Thanks to the invention, a door closing device of simple and economical design, of reliable operation, and of particularly easy manual or automatic manipulation has therefore been produced, this device being particularly suitable for use in paint lines of motor vehicles. .

Bien entendu l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.

C'est ainsi par exemple, selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de fermeture pourrait être fixé à l'encadrement de porte et coopérer lors de la fermeture, avec la partie de l'encadrement de la caisse du véhicule.Thus, for example, according to another embodiment of the invention, the closing device could be fixed to the door frame and cooperate during closing, with the part of the frame of the vehicle body. .

Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son cadre comme précisé dans les revendications suivantes.On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out within its scope as specified in the following claims.
