Description

La présente invention a trait aux poignées de porte comportant un cadre propre à être fixé sur la porte d'un véhicule et une palette articulée autour dudit cadre pour la commande du mécanisme de la serrure.The present invention relates to door handles comprising a frame suitable for being fixed on the door of a vehicle and a pallet articulated around said frame for controlling the mechanism of the lock.

On connaît des poignées de porte de ce type qui comprennent généralement un ensemble constitué d'une seule pièce en matière plastique moulée. Cet ensemble comporte un encadrement propre à être fixé sur la porte d'un véhicule automobile et une palette de commande reliée par une articulation semi-rigide. Cette articulation est réalisée en matière plastique et fait partie intégrante de l'encadrement et de la palette de commande de manière à créer un rappel élastique de cette dernière en position de repos.Known door handles of this type which generally comprise an assembly consisting of a single piece of molded plastic. This assembly includes a frame suitable for being fixed on the door of a motor vehicle and a control pallet connected by a semi-rigid articulation. This joint is made of plastic and is an integral part of the frame and the control pallet so as to create an elastic return of the latter in the rest position.

Une telle poignée de porte comporte certains inconvénients en ce qui concerne le rappel de la palette qui est beaucoup trop rapide et fragile. En effet, l'articulation est soumise à une déformation élastique qui risque de se rompre sous des efforts répétés.Such a door handle has certain drawbacks with regard to the recall of the pallet which is much too fast and fragile. Indeed, the articulation is subjected to an elastic deformation which is likely to break under repeated efforts.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier la présente invention, laquelle consiste essentiellement à associer à la palette des moyens propres à amortir le mouvement de rappel de celle-ci de sa position d'ouverture à sa position de repos.It is these drawbacks that the present invention more particularly intends to remedy, which essentially consists in associating with the pallet means capable of damping the return movement of the latter from its open position to its rest position.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:

Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective avec arrachement illustrant une portière de véhicule pourvue d'une poignée de porte suivant la présente invention.Fig. 1 is a cutaway perspective view illustrating a vehicle door provided with a door handle according to the present invention.

Fig. 2 et 3 sont des coupes représentant le vérin lors de la manipulation de la palette de commande.Fig. 2 and 3 are sections representing the jack when handling the control paddle.

Fig. 4 et 5 sont des coupes semblables à celles de fig. 2 et 3, mais montrant le vérin lors de l'amortissement du rappel de la palette de commande en position de repos.Fig. 4 and 5 are sections similar to those of FIG. 2 and 3, but showing the cylinder during the damping of the return of the control paddle in the rest position.

On a représenté en fig. 1 une portière 1 de véhicule qui comprend une découpe pour la mise en place d'une poignée de porte 2 en matière plastique moulée. Cette poignée comporte un cadre 3 qui est fixé sur la portière 1 et qui est creusé d'un évidement 3a en forme de C. Ce dernier est délimité sur son pourtour extérieur par une face verticale 3b. La partie supérieure 3c de l'évidement 3a est solidaire de deux oreilles verticales 3d et 3e qui sont prévues parallèles.There is shown in fig. 1 a vehicle door 1 which includes a cut-out for fitting a door handle 2 in molded plastic. This handle comprises a frame 3 which is fastened on the door 1 and is hollowed a recess 3 has C-shaped This latter is bounded at its outer periphery by a vertical face 3b. The upper part 3 c of the recess 3 a is integral with two vertical ears 3 d and 3 e which are provided parallel.

Au cadre 3 est associée une palette de commande basculante 4 qui comprend deux joues verticales 4a et 4b parallèles et reliées l'une à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une traverse horizontale 4c. La palette de commande 4 est introduite à l'intérieur de l'évidement 3a de manière à ce que sa face extérieure soit dans le même plan que la face verticale 3b du cadre 3. Dans cette position, les joues verticales 4a et 4b sont respectivement disposées parallèlement et à proximité des oreilles 3d et 3e du cadre 3 afin qu'elles soient réunies à celles-ci par l'intermédiaire d'un axe de rotation 5.Frame 3 is associated with a tilting control pallet 4 which comprises two vertical cheeks 4 a and 4 b parallel and connected to each other by means of a horizontal crosspiece 4 c . The control paddle 4 is inserted inside the recess 3 a so that its outer face is in the same plane as the vertical face 3 b of the frame 3. In this position, the vertical cheeks 4 a and 4 b are respectively arranged parallel and close to the ears 3 d and 3 e of the frame 3 so that they are joined to these by means of an axis of rotation 5.

L'axe de rotation 5 est chargé élastiquement au moyen d'un ressort 6 dont l'une des extrémités vient prendre appui contre la traverse 4c, tandis que l'autre extrémité est en appui contre la partie supérieure 3c de l'évidement 3a. Ce rappel élastique permet de ramener en position de repos la palette de commande 4 après chaque utilisation, comme on le verra mieux plus loin.The axis of rotation 5 is loaded elastically by means of a spring 6, one of the ends of which bears against the cross-member 4 c , while the other end bears against the upper part 3 c of the recess 3 a . This elastic reminder makes it possible to return the control pallet 4 to the rest position after each use, as will be seen more clearly below.

La joue verticale référencée 4a de la palette 4 est solidaire d'un axe horizontal 4d qui est prévu à l'opposé de la traverse 4c. L'oreille 3d se trouvant à proximité de la joue 4a comporte un axe horizontal 3f suivant une même direction.The vertical cheek referenced 4 a of the pallet 4 is integral with a horizontal axis 4 d which is provided opposite the cross member 4 c . The ear 3 d located near the cheek 4 a has a horizontal axis 3 f in the same direction.

Un vérin 7 est prévu libre en pivotement autour des axes de rotation 4d et 3f pour suivre les déplacements de la palette de commande 4 par rapport au cadre 3.A jack 7 is provided for free to pivot about the axes of rotation 4 d and 3 f to follow the movements of the control pallet 4 relative to the frame 3.

En fig. 2 à 5, on a représenté le vérin 7 qui comprend un corps cylindrique 7a totalement étanche aux pressions extérieures, lequel corps est libre en pivotement autour de l'axe horizontal 4d de la palette basculante 4.In fig. 2 to 5, there is shown the jack 7 which comprises a cylindrical body 7 a completely impermeable to external pressures, which body is free to pivot about the horizontal axis 4 d of the tilting pallet 4.

A l'intérieur du corps cylindrique 7a coulisse une tige 7b qui est solidaire à l'une de ses exrémités d'un piston 7c, tandis que l'autre extrémité est montée Libre en pivotement autour de l'axe 3f du cadre fixe 3. Le piston 7c qui présente un diamètre extérieur légèrement inférieur au diamètre interne du corps cylindrique 7a du vérin 7, est creusé sur son pourtour d'une gorge circulaire 7d qui est délimitée par deux disques 7e et 7f, le disque 7f étant percé de fentes ou rainures 7g qui, dans l'exemple représenté, sont au nombre de quatre.Inside the cylindrical body 7 a slides a rod 7 b which is integral at one of its ends of a piston 7 c , while the other end is mounted Free to pivot about the axis 3 f of the fixed frame 3. The piston 7 c which has an outside diameter slightly smaller than the diameter internal of the cylindrical body 7 a of the jack 7, is hollowed out around its periphery of a circular groove 7 d which is delimited by two discs 7 e and 7 f , the disc 7 f being pierced with slots or grooves 7 g which, in the 'example shown, are four in number.

A l'intérieur de la gorge circulaire 7d est placé un joint torique 8 qui vient prendre appui d'une part contre la paroi interne du corps cylindrique 7a et d'autre part contre le fond 7h de ladite gorge.Inside the circular groove 7 d is placed an O-ring 8 which comes to bear on the one hand against the internal wall of the cylindrical body 7 a and on the other hand against the bottom 7 h of said groove.

Les fentes 7g sont dimensionnées et profilées de façon à venir déboucher dans la gorge circulaire 7d à une distance du disque 7f qui est supérieure au diamètre du joint torique 8.The slots 7 g are dimensioned and shaped so as to come out into the circular groove 7 d at a distance from the disc 7 f which is greater than the diameter of the O-ring 8.

On remarque que lorsque la palette de commande 4 est basculée en direction de l'extérieur du cadre 3 en vue de l'ouverture de la portière 1, le corps 7a du vérin 7 se déplace suivant la flèche F1 de fig. 3. Ainsi, la hauteur de la gorge circulaire 7d permet au joint torique 8 de venir en appui contre le disque 7f en vue de libérer les fentes 7g. Cette libération autorise le libre déplacement de l'air à l'intérieur du vérin 7 et permet ainsi un actionnement rapide et sans difficulté de la palette de commande 4 par rapport au cadre fixe 3.Note that when the control paddle 4 is tilted towards the outside of the frame 3 for the opening of the door 1, the body 7 has the cylinder 7 moves in the arrow F1 of fig. 3. Thus, the height of the circular groove 7 d allows the O-ring 8 to bear against the disc 7 f in order to release the slots 7 g . This release authorizes the free movement of the air inside the jack 7 and thus allows quick and easy actuation of the control paddle 4 relative to the fixed frame 3.

Par contre, lorsque la palette de commande 4 est relâchée, celle-ci est rappelée en position de repos par l'intermédiaire du ressort 6 dont l'effort de rappel est amorti par la présence du vérin 7. En effet, le corps 7a se déplace par rapport à la tige 7b suivant la flèche F2 de fig. 5, étant donné que ce corps est monté sur la palette de commande 4.On the other hand, when the control paddle 4 is released, it is returned to the rest position by means of the spring 6, the restoring force of which is absorbed by the presence of the jack 7. In fact, the body 7 has moves relative to the rod 7 b according to the arrow F2 of FIG. 5, since this body is mounted on the control pallet 4.

On remarque que le joint torique 8 est repoussé contre le disque 7e du piston 7, permettant de ralentir la circulation de l'air à l'intérieur du vérin 7. Ainsi, le déplacement de retour de la palette de commande 4 est amorti, ce qui évite tout claquement bruyant.It is noted that the O-ring 8 is pushed back against the disc 7 e of the piston 7, making it possible to slow the circulation of air inside the jack 7. Thus, the return movement of the control paddle 4 is damped, which avoids any loud clicking.

On notera qu'il est possible de combiner le vérin 7 avec un autre vérin placé à l'opposé sur l'autre joue 4b de la palette de commande 4 et sur l'oreille correspondante du cadre 3 décrit précédemment.Note that it is possible to combine the jack 7 with another jack placed opposite on the other cheek 4b of the control paddle 4 and on the corresponding ear of the frame 3 described above.
