  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée des principaux composants d'une poignée de commande d'un mécanisme de verrouillage selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée plus détaillée d'un système coin-came de montage rapide selon l'invention ;
  • les figures 3A, 3B, 3C et 3D sont des vues similaires à celles de la figure 2 qui illustrent les étapes successives de montage d'une poignée selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perpective d'une tôle de panneau de porte destinée à recevoir une poignée selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the main components of a control handle of a locking mechanism according to the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a more detailed exploded perspective view of a quick assembly wedge-cam system according to the invention;
  • Figures 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D are views similar to those of Figure 2 which illustrate the successive steps of mounting a handle according to the invention;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a door panel sheet for receiving a handle according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente une poignée 10 de commande d'un mécanisme de verrouillage de porte de véhicule automobile (non représenté).Figure 1 shows a control handle 10 a vehicle door locking mechanism automobile (not shown).

La poignée 10 comporte notamment une embase 12, une palette 16 de commande et deux éléments de serrage 22 pour la fixation de la poignée sur un panneau de porte.The handle 10 includes in particular a base 12, a control pallet 16 and two clamping elements 22 for fixing the handle on a door panel.

L'embase 12 a une forme générale elliptique vue de face et présente en son centre une cuvette dont le dos 42 est nervuré.The base 12 has a generally elliptical shape seen from front and has in its center a bowl whose back 42 is ribbed.

Des flancs 44,46 s'étendent perpendiculairement au plan du panneau de porte depuis le dos 42 de la cuvette et portent à leurs extrémités supérieures des douilles 48, 50 destinées à recevoir une tige 52 d'articulation de la palette 16 sur l'embase 12.Flanks 44,46 extend perpendicular to the plan of the door panel from the back 42 of the bowl and have sockets 48, 50 at their upper ends intended to receive a rod 52 of articulation of the pallet 16 on the base 12.

L'embase 12 est sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan médian séparant les deux flancs 44, 46. Aussi on se limitera pour la suite du texte à la description de la moitié de l'embase 12 située du côté du flanc 44, c'est-à-dire située à gauche en considérant la figure 1.The base 12 is substantially symmetrical by relative to a median plane separating the two sides 44, 46. We will therefore limit ourselves for the rest of the text to the description of half of the base 12 located on the side of the flank 44, i.e. located on the left considering the figure 1.

Sur la partie centrale formant cuvette de l'embase 12 est aménagée une surface d'appui 14 sensiblement parallèle au plan du panneau de porte et qui s'étend perpendiculairement au flanc 44 vers l'extérieur de l'embase 12. On the central part forming the bowl of the base 12 is provided a bearing surface 14 substantially parallel to the plane of the door panel and extending perpendicular to side 44 towards the outside of the base 12.

Sur cette surface d'appui 14 est agencée une glissière 24 venue de matière ainsi qu'un élément de réaction 28 en forme de T.On this bearing surface 14 is arranged a slide 24 made of material as well as an element of T-shaped reaction 28

Une échancrure 54 est aménagée dans la surface d'appui 14 qui présente une partie large 56 au pied du flanc 44 et une partie rétrécie 58 qui s'étend entre les rainures opposées de la glissière 24.A notch 54 is arranged in the surface support 14 which has a wide portion 56 at the foot of the flank 44 and a narrowed portion 58 which extends between the opposite grooves of the slide 24.

La palette 16 comporte une plaque de préhension 60 sensiblement parallèle au panneau de porte qui est destinée à couvrir partiellement, depuis l'extérieur, la cuvette formée dans l'embase 12.Pallet 16 includes a gripping plate 60 substantially parallel to the door panel which is intended to partially cover, from the outside, the bowl formed in the base 12.

Perpendiculairement à cette plaque de préhension, s'étendent deux bras coudés 62,64 qui sont destinés à être reçus chacun dans la partie large 56 de l'échancrure 54 aménagée dans la surface d'appui 14 de l'embase 12.Perpendicular to this grip plate, extend two bent arms 62,64 which are intended to be each received in the wide part 56 of the notch 54 fitted in the bearing surface 14 of the base 12.

Ces bras 62, 64 portent des douilles 66, 68 destinés à recevoir la tige 52 de manière à articuler la palette 16 sur l'embase 12 autour de l'axe A1 horizontal et parallèle au plan du panneau de porte.These arms 62, 64 carry sockets 66, 68 intended to receive the rod 52 so as to articulate the pallet 16 on the base 12 around the horizontal axis A1 and parallel to the plane of the door panel.

De même que l'embase 12, la palette 16 est sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan parallèle au plan des bras 62, 64 et situé entre les deux bras. Aussi on se limitera à la description de la moitié de la palette 16 située du côté du bras 62.Like the base 12, the pallet 16 is substantially symmetrical about a plane parallel to the plane arms 62, 64 and located between the two arms. So we will limit to the description of half of palette 16 located on the side of arm 62.

Le bras 62 possède une surface latérale externe 72 sur laquelle est aménagée une came 26.The arm 62 has an external lateral surface 72 on which a cam 26 is arranged.

Cette came 26 est réalisée venue de matière et comporte une surface active 70.This cam 26 is produced integrally and has an active surface 70.

Cette came 26 est prévue pour passer dans la partie rétrécie 58 de l'échancrure 54 aménagée dans l'embase 12.This cam 26 is intended to pass into the narrowed part 58 of the notch 54 arranged in the base 12.

Sur les figures 2 et 4, on a représenté une tôle 18 du panneau de porte destinée à recevoir la poignée 10.In Figures 2 and 4, there is shown a sheet 18 of the door panel intended to receive the handle 10.

Cette tôle est emboutie et présente une fente 20. This sheet is stamped and has a slot 20.

On a également représenté sur la figure 2 l'élément de serrage 22 qui est un coin.Also shown in Figure 2 the clamping element 22 which is a corner.

Le coin 22 comporte une face inférieure de serrage 34 destinée à venir en contact avec une face de la tôle 18, et il comporte un plan incliné 36 aménagé sur sa face supérieure 73.The corner 22 has a lower clamping face 34 intended to come into contact with one face of the sheet 18, and it has an inclined plane 36 arranged on its face superior 73.

Le coin 22 comporte également des faces latérales 74, 76 qui portent des nervures 78, 80 destinés à être reçus dans les rainures opposées de la glissière 24 aménagée sur l'embase 12.Corner 22 also has side faces 74, 76 which carry ribs 78, 80 intended to be received in the opposite grooves of the slide 24 fitted on the base 12.

Le coin 22 peut ainsi coulisser sur l'embase 12 entre une position escamotée de montage et une position de fixation, selon une direction A2 parallèle à l'axe A1.The corner 22 can thus slide on the base 12 between a retracted mounting position and a fixing, in a direction A2 parallel to the axis A1.

Agencé dans l'axe de la glissière 24, l'élément de réaction 28 est un élément en forme de T dont la branche verticale 32 s'étend perpendiculairement à la surface d'appui 14 de l'embase 12 et dont la branche horizontale 30 est parallèle à la surface d'appui 14 et perpendiculaire à la direction de coulissement du coin 22 pour coopérer avec le plan incliné 36 de ce dernier.Arranged in the axis of the slide 24, the element of reaction 28 is a T-shaped element whose branch vertical 32 extends perpendicular to the surface support 14 of base 12 and whose horizontal branch 30 is parallel to the bearing surface 14 and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the corner 22 to cooperate with the inclined plane 36 of the latter.

Le coin 22 est muni d'une fente longitudinale médiane 40 qui s'étend perpendiculairement au plan incliné 36 et selon la direction de coulissement du coin 22 afin de permettre le passage de la branche verticale 32 de l'élément de réaction 28.Corner 22 has a longitudinal slot median 40 which extends perpendicular to the inclined plane 36 and in the sliding direction of the corner 22 so to allow the passage of the vertical branch 32 of the reaction element 28.

Par ailleurs le coin 22 comporte sur le plan incliné 36 une encoche 38 agencée perpendiculairement à la direction de coulissement A2 et destinée à recevoir la branche horizontale 30 de l'élément de réaction 28 lorsque le coin 22 est en position de fixation.Furthermore the corner 22 has on the plan inclined 36 a notch 38 arranged perpendicular to the sliding direction A2 and intended to receive the horizontal branch 30 of the reaction element 28 when the corner 22 is in the fixing position.

La commande du coulissement du coin 22 entre sa position escamotée de montage et sa position de fixation est assurée par la came 26 agencée sur la face latérale externe du bras 62 de la palette 16. The command to slide the corner 22 between its retracted mounting position and its fixing position is ensured by the cam 26 arranged on the lateral face external of the arm 62 of the pallet 16.

La surface active 70 de la came 26 coopère à cet effet avec un bord supérieur arrière 82 du coin 22.The active surface 70 of the cam 26 cooperates with this effect with a rear upper edge 82 of the corner 22.

Les figures 3A à 3D illustrent les différentes étapes de montage d'une poignée selon l'invention.Figures 3A to 3D illustrate the different steps for mounting a handle according to the invention.

Avant le montage de la poignée, il faut que celle-ci soit assemblée.Before mounting the handle, it must be be assembled.

Le coin 22 est tout d'abord monté dans sa glissière 24 sur l'embase 12 et positionné dans sa position de fixation, c'est-à-dire poussé selon sa direction de coulissement vers l'extérieur de l'embase, afin de dégager l'échancrure 54 aménagée dans la surface d'appui 14 de l'embase 12.Corner 22 is first mounted in its slide 24 on the base 12 and positioned in its fixing position, i.e. pushed according to its sliding direction towards the outside of the base, in order to clear the notch 54 arranged in the surface support 14 of base 12.

La palette 16 est alors mise en place sur l'embase 12.Pallet 16 is then placed on the base 12.

L'articulation de la palette 16 sur l'embase 12 est réalisée par la mise en place de la tige 52 à travers les douilles 50, 48 et 66, 68 respectivement de l'embase 12 et de la palette 16 selon l'axe A1.The articulation of the pallet 16 on the base 12 is achieved by placing the rod 52 through the sockets 50, 48 and 66, 68 respectively of the base 12 and the pallet 16 along the axis A1.

La palette 16 est alors amenée en position de repos et le coin est repoussé vers sa position escamotée de montage, son bord arrière supérieur 82 étant alors en appui sur la face latérale externe du bras 62.Pallet 16 is then brought into position rest and the corner is pushed back to its retracted position mounting, its upper rear edge 82 then being in support on the external lateral face of the arm 62.

On peut également effectuer le montage d'un ressort de rappel (non représenté) qui sollicite élastiquement la palette vers sa position de repos.You can also mount a return spring (not shown) which requests resiliently the pallet towards its rest position.

L'élément de réaction 28 se retrouve ainsi dégagé.The reaction element 28 is thus found released.

La poignée est ensuite présentée face à l'ouverture prévue dans le panneau de porte.The handle is then presented facing the opening provided in the door panel.

Elle y est engagée en prenant soin que l'élément de réaction 28 soit reçu dans la fente 20 de positionnement pratiquée dans la tôle 18 du panneau de porte.She is committed to it, taking care that the element 28 is received in slot 20 of positioning in sheet 18 of the panel door.

L'embase 12 est plaquée par sa surface d'appui 14 contre une face externe 19 de la tôle 18. The base 12 is pressed by its bearing surface 14 against an external face 19 of the sheet 18.

On se trouve alors dans la configuration de présentée à la figure 3A.We are then in the configuration of shown in Figure 3A.

Ainsi que représenté sur la figure 3B, la palette 16 est amenée de sa position de repos à sa position de déverrouillage par traction sur la plaque de préhension 60, tout en maintenant le contact de l'embase 12 sur la tôle 18.As shown in Figure 3B, the palette 16 is brought from its rest position to its position of unlocking by pulling on the gripping plate 60, while maintaining the contact of the base 12 on the sheet 18.

Le pivotement de la palette 16 autour de son axe d'articulation A1 provoque le déplacement vers le bas, en considérant la figure 3B, de la came 26 dont la surface active 70 coopère avec le bord arrière supérieur 82 du coin 22.The pivoting of the pallet 16 around its axis of articulation A1 causes the downward movement, in considering FIG. 3B, of the cam 26 whose surface active 70 cooperates with the upper rear edge 82 of the corner 22.

Sous l'effet de la came 26, le coin 22 est ainsi poussé dans la glissière 24 selon la direction A2, de la droite vers la gauche.Under the effect of the cam 26, the corner 22 is thus pushed into the slide 24 in the direction A2, of the right to left.

Dans son mouvement, le coin 22 vient en contact avec une face interne 17 de la tôle 18 par sa face de serrage 34.In its movement, the corner 22 comes into contact with an internal face 17 of the sheet 18 by its face of tightening 34.

Par ailleurs, le coin s'avance de part et d'autre de la branche verticale 32 de l'élément de réaction 28 dont la branche horizontale 30 coopère alors avec le plan incliné 36 du coin 22 pour provoquer le serrage de la tôle 18 par effet de coin.In addition, the corner advances on both sides of the vertical branch 32 of the reaction element 28 whose horizontal branch 30 then cooperates with the plane inclined 36 from corner 22 to cause the sheet to tighten 18 by corner effect.

Lorsque la palette 16 a atteint sa position de déverrouillage, le coin 22 a atteint sa position de fixation.When the pallet 16 has reached its position of unlocking, corner 22 has reached its position of fixation.

Dans cette position, la branche horizontale 30 de l'élément de réaction 28 est reçue dans l'encoche 38 pratiquée dans le plan incliné 36 du coin 22 de manière à bloquer ce dernier dans sa position de fixation.In this position, the horizontal branch 30 of the reaction element 28 is received in the notch 38 practiced in the inclined plane 36 of the corner 22 so as to lock the latter in its fixing position.

La surface active 70 de la came 26 est alors en contact avec le bord arrière supérieur 82 du coin, mais ne peut plus agir sur le coin 22. The active surface 70 of the cam 26 is then in contact with the upper rear edge 82 of the corner, but do not can no longer act on corner 22.

Comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3D lorsque la palette 16 est ramenée à sa position de repos, le coin 22 reste en position de fixation et la poignée est fixée.As shown in Figure 3D when the pallet 16 is returned to its rest position, the wedge 22 remains in the fixing position and the handle is fixed.

Les manipulations ultérieures de la palette 16 depuis sa position de repos jusqu'à sa position de déverrouillage n'auront plus d'effet sur le coin 22.The subsequent handling of the pallet 16 from its rest position to its position of unlocking will no longer have an effect on corner 22.

Cette nouvelle conception d'une poignée de porte permet un montage rapide et simplifié sur la chaíne d'assemblage.This new design of a door handle allows quick and simplified mounting on the chain assembly.

Des variantes de réalisation pourront prévoir par exemple l'adjonction d'un chanfrein sur le bord avant de la surface de contact 34 du coin 22 afin de faciliter le chevauchement de la tôle 18 par le coin 22.Variant embodiments may provide by example the addition of a chamfer on the front edge of the contact surface 34 of the corner 22 in order to facilitate the overlapping of the sheet 18 by the corner 22.
