According to the invention, the arms (5a and 5b) of the pallet (1) are connected to one another by means of a beam (7) parallel to the pivot axis of this pallet, the slots (8a and 8b) of the bowl (2) opening out onto the edges of the latter, so as to allow mounting in spite of the presence of the beam. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne les commandes extérieures de porte, notamment pour véhicule automobile, qui comprennent une poignée en forme de palette qui est montée pivotante par rapport à un boîtier en forme de cuvette. A cet effet, la palette comporte généralement deux bras latéraux en col de cygne qui traversent des boutonnières de la cuvette.The present invention relates to external door controls, in particular for a motor vehicle, which comprise a handle in the form of a pallet which is pivotally mounted relative to a housing in the form of a bowl. For this purpose, the pallet generally comprises two lateral arms in swan neck which pass through buttonholes of the bowl.

La poignée en forme de palette et le boîtier sont souvent réalisés en matière plastique moulée à faible module d'élasticité.The pallet-shaped handle and the housing are often made of molded plastic with a low modulus of elasticity.

Ces commandes telles qu'elles sont jusqu'à présent réalisées présentent des inconvénients. La palette n'est pas suffisamment raide en torsion et on ne peut remédier à cet inconvénient en augmentant la masse de la palette; en effet il ne faut pas placer une masse importante sous l'axe de la palette, car les réglementations actuelles exigent qu'en cas d'accident, pour une accélération transversale inférieure à 300 m/s², le couple exercé sur la palette par cette accélération (le couple est fonction de la masse de la palette et de la position de son centre de gravité par rapport à son axe de rotation) ne puisse faire pivoter suffisamment cette dernière qui en actionnant la serrure ouvrirait la porte.These commands as they are hitherto carried have drawbacks. The pallet is not sufficiently stiff in torsion and this drawback cannot be remedied by increasing the mass of the palette; indeed, a large mass should not be placed under the axis of the pallet, because current regulations require that in the event of an accident, for a transverse acceleration of less than 300 m / s², the torque exerted on the pallet by this acceleration (the torque is a function of the mass of the pallet and the position of its center of gravity with respect to its axis of rotation) cannot sufficiently rotate the latter which, by actuating the lock would open the door.

La présente invention a pour objet une commande extérieure de porte du type ci-dessus qui, au contraire, remédie à cet inconvénient.The present invention relates to an external door control of the above type which, on the contrary, remedies this drawback.

Cette commande est caractérisée en ce que les bras de la palette sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une poutre faisant corps avec eux et parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de cette palette, et en ce que les boutonnières de la cuvette débouchent sur les bords de celle-ci de façon à permettre le montage de cet ensemble indissociableThis control is characterized in that the arms of the pallet are connected to each other by a beam integral with them and parallel to the pivot axis of this pallet, and in that the buttonholes of the bowl open out on the edges of it so as to allow the mounting of this inseparable assembly

De préférence, la poutre est positionnée de façon que le centre de gravité de la palette soit au voisinage de l'axe de pivotement la séparant de la palette.Preferably, the beam is positioned so that the center of gravity of the pallet is in the vicinity of the pivot axis separating it from the pallet.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation de la commande selon l'invention avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La Figure 1 est une vue en coupe de la commande, la palette étant en position fermée,
  • La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe semblable à la Figure 1, la palette étant en position ouverte;
  • La Figure 3 est une vue en perspective montrant la palette et le boîtier séparés.
An embodiment of the control according to the invention has been described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the control, the pallet being in the closed position,
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view similar to Figure 1, the palette being in the open position;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the separate pallet and housing.

Telle qu'elle est représentée aux dessins, la commande extérieure de porte comporte une poignée 1 en forme de palette qui est montéee pivotante par rapport à un boîtier en forme de cuvette 2; la palette et la cuvette sont en matière plastique injectée de faible densité.As shown in the drawings, the exterior door control comprises a handle 1 in the form of a pallet which is pivotally mounted relative to a cup-shaped housing 2; the pallet and the bowl are made of low density injected plastic.

La cuvette 2 est fixée sur l'élément vertical 4b d'un pliage 4a,4b de la tôle 4 du panneau extérieur de porte par une vis 3 et un écrou 3a encastré dans une barrette 10 qui, faisant saillie sur la face convexe de la cuvette, la rigidifie.The bowl 2 is fixed on the vertical element 4 b of a folding 4 a , 4 b of the sheet 4 of the exterior door panel by a screw 3 and a nut 3 has embedded in a bar 10 which, projecting from the convex face of the bowl, stiffens it.

La palette 1 porte deux bras latéraux 5a et 5b en col de cygne qui sont montés pivotants par rapport à la cuvette 2 autour d'un axe 6 extérieur à cette cuvette. Ces bras sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une poutre 7 venue de matière avec ces bras et qui est parallèle à l'axe 6 interposé entre elle et la poignée 1 et traversent des boutonnières 8a et 8b débouchant sur le bord de la cuvette; la poutre 7 comporte à une de ses extrémités un prolongement 9 relié au dispositif de commande de la serrure.The pallet 1 carries two lateral arms 5 a and 5 b in swan neck which are pivotally mounted relative to the bowl 2 around an axis 6 outside this bowl. These arms are connected to each other by a beam 7 formed integrally with these arms and which is parallel to the axis 6 interposed between it and the handle 1 and pass through buttonholes 8 a and 8 b opening onto the edge bowl; the beam 7 has at one of its ends an extension 9 connected to the device for controlling the lock.

La commande de porte selon l'invention présente les avantages suivants :The door control according to the invention has the following advantages:

La poutre 7 faisant corps avec les bras 5a,5b donne à la poignée 1 une bonne rigidité malgré sa légèreté.

  • La légéreté due à l'utilisation de la matière plastique et le choix de l'emplacement de la poutre 7 permettent la réalisation d'une poignée ayant son centre de gravité voisin de l'axe de pivotement 6, ce qui, en évitant une ouverture intempestive de la porte, rend la poignée conforme à la réglementation en vigueur.
  • L'adjonction de la barrette 10 à la cuvette 2 redonne à cette dernière la rigidité perdue en faisant déboucher les boutonnières 8a,8b sur le bord de la cuvette.
The beam 7 integral with the arms 5 a , 5 b gives the handle 1 good rigidity despite its lightness.
  • The lightness due to the use of plastic and the choice of the location of the beam 7 allow the realization of a handle having its center of gravity close to the pivot axis 6, which, avoiding an opening untimely door, makes the handle comply with current regulations.
  • The addition of the bar 10 to the bowl 2 gives the latter the rigidity lost by opening the buttonholes 8 a , 8 b on the edge of the bowl.

Un ressort 11 en fil d'acier, constitué d'une partie centrale formée de spires jointives centrées sur l'axe 6 et prolongée par deux branches 11a et 11b en appui respectivement sur la poutre 7 et sur la cuvette 2, maintient la palette 1 dans sa position fermée en la pressant contre deux butées élastiques 12 portées par le boîtier 2.A spring 11 of steel wire, consisting of a central part formed of contiguous turns centered on the axis 6 and extended by two branches 11 a and 11 b bearing respectively on the beam 7 and on the bowl 2, maintains the pallet 1 in its closed position by pressing it against two elastic stops 12 carried by the housing 2.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne doit pas être considérée comme limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais en couvre, au contraire, toutes les variantes.It goes without saying that the present invention should not be considered as limited to the embodiment described and shown, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof.
