Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, notamment d'une porte de coffre, du type comportant un verrou dont le corps est fixé dans un boîtier du mécanisme comportant un fourreau qui reçoit le corps du verrou et un socle sur lequel est fixé un capuchon d'habillage.The present invention relates to a device for locking an opening leaf of a motor vehicle, in particular a trunk door, of the type comprising a lock whose body is fixed in a housing of the mechanism comprising a sheath which receives the body of the lock and a base on which a covering cap is fixed.

Le boîtier peut être fixé sur une partie du coffre ou être monté mobile par rapport à cette partie du coffre pour actionner une tringlerie d'actionnement d'une serrure de la porte du coffre.The housing can be fixed on a part of the trunk or be movable relative to this part of the trunk to actuate a linkage for actuating a lock of the trunk door.

Selon une conception connue, le montage du capuchon d'habillage sur le coffre est réalisé par sertissage ou par emboîtement à force.According to a known design, the mounting of the covering cap on the trunk is carried out by crimping or by force fitting.

Cette solution est peu satisfaisante dans la mesure où les opérations de montage du capuchon aboutissent, du fait de la déformation imposée aux différents moyens de sertissage et d'accrochage, a une détérioration de la peinture qui recouvre notamment la face externe d'habillage du corps du capuchon.This solution is unsatisfactory insofar as the operations for mounting the cap result, due to the deformation imposed on the various crimping and hooking means, in a deterioration of the paint which covers in particular the external covering surface of the body. of the cap.

De plus, ces opérations de montage du capuchon nécessitent d'exercer des efforts importants qui imposent de maintenir de manière ferme le boîtier lors de l'opération de montage du capuchon.In addition, these operations for mounting the cap necessitate exerting significant forces which make it necessary to hold the housing firmly during the operation for mounting the cap.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer une nouvelle conception d'un dispositif de verrouillage du type mentionné précédemment qui permet d'effectuer le montage du capuchon d'habillage sur le socle du boîtier avec des efforts réduits tout en assurant, après montage, une liaison mécanique suffisante entre le capuchon et le boîtier permettant notamment d'encaisser des efforts de manoeuvre du dispositif de verrouillage et/ou de manoeuvre de l'ouvrant en utilisant le capuchon comme poignée de préhension.The object of the present invention is to propose a new design of a locking device of the type mentioned above which makes it possible to mount the covering cap on the base of the housing with reduced forces while ensuring, after mounting, a sufficient mechanical connection between the cap and the casing, in particular making it possible to withstand the operating forces of the locking device and / or of operating the opening by using the cap as a gripping handle.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un dispositif de verrouillage du type mentionné précédemment, caractérisé en ce que le socle comporte une plaque de base qui s'étend parallèlement à l'axe du fourreau et une plaque transversale perpendiculaire à l'axe du fourreau et traversée par le fourreau, et en ce que le capuchon comporte deux pattes d'articulation sur la plaque de base et deux pattes d'accrochage en position montée sur la plaque transversale, pour permettre le montage du capuchon sur le socle par pivotement autour des pattes d'articulation et accrochage par emboîtement élastique des pattes d'accrochage.To this end, the invention provides a locking device of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the base comprises a base plate which extends parallel to the axis of the sleeve and a transverse plate perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve and crossed by the sheath, and in that the cap has two articulation tabs on the base plate and two hooking tabs in the position mounted on the transverse plate, to allow mounting of the cap on the base by pivoting around the articulation tabs and hooking by elastic interlocking of the hooking tabs.

On a représenté sur les figures un boîtier 10 destiné à recevoir le corps d'un verrou (non représenté) et un capuchon d'habillage 12.There is shown in the figures a housing 10 intended to receive the body of a lock (not shown) and a covering cap 12.

Le boîtier 10 est constitué pour l'essentiel par un fourreau cylindrique 14 dont l'alésage interne 16 est prévu pour recevoir le corps du verrou.The housing 10 is essentially constituted by a cylindrical sheath 14 whose internal bore 16 is provided for receiving the body of the lock.

Le fourreau 14 est monté dans un socle 18 qui est constitué par une plaque de base 20 et par une plaque transversale avant 22.The sheath 14 is mounted in a base 18 which is constituted by a base plate 20 and by a front transverse plate 22.

La plaque transversale 22 est traversée par le fourreau 14 dont une extrémité axiale avant 24 fait saillie axialement au-delà de la face avant 26 de la plaque transversale 22 du socle 18.The transverse plate 22 is crossed by the sheath 14, a front axial end 24 of which projects axially beyond the front face 26 of the transverse plate 22 of the base 18.

La plaque transversale 22 comporte à cet effet une découpe centrale 28.For this purpose, the transverse plate 22 has a central cutout 28.

La fixation de la plaque transversale 22 est assurée par trois branches 30 qui s'étendent axialement depuis la face arrière 32 de la plaque transversale 22 et dont la forme épouse celle du fourreau 14 auquel elles peuvent par exemple être fixées par soudage ou collage.The fixing of the transverse plate 22 is ensured by three branches 30 which extend axially from the rear face 32 of the transverse plate 22 and whose shape matches that of the sheath 14 to which they can for example be fixed by welding or gluing.

La plaque transversale 22 est délimitée notamment par un bord transversal supérieur 34 et par deux bords latéraux opposés 36 dont chacun comporte un bec d'accrochage 38 qui fait salle transversalement depuis le bord latéral 36.The transverse plate 22 is delimited in particular by an upper transverse edge 34 and by two opposite lateral edges 36, each of which comprises a hooking spout 38 which forms room transversely from the lateral edge 36.

La plaque de base 20 du socle 18 est constituée, comme on peut le voir notamment sur la figure 5, par deux ailes latérales opposées 40 dont chacune est soudée sur le fourreau 14.The base plate 20 of the base 18 is constituted, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 5, by two opposite lateral wings 40 each of which is welded to the sheath 14.

Les deux ailes 40 s'étendent dans un plan parallèle à l'axe du fourreau 14 et perpendiculaire au plan de la plaque transversale 22.The two wings 40 extend in a plane parallel to the axis of the sleeve 14 and perpendicular to the plane of the transverse plate 22.

Les deux ailes 40 sont délimitées chacune par un bord transversal avant 42 qui, comme on peut le voir notamment sur les figures 3 et 6, est situé axialement en avant par rapport à la face avant de la plaque transversale 22.The two wings 40 are each delimited by a front transverse edge 42 which, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 3 and 6, is located axially in front with respect to the front face of the transverse plate 22.

Au voisinage de son bord transversal avant 42, chaque aile 40 comporte une fente 44 qui s'étend transversalement et qui traverse l'épaisseur de l'aile 40.In the vicinity of its front transverse edge 42, each wing 40 has a slot 44 which extends transversely and which crosses the thickness of the wing 40.

On décrira maintenant en détail le capuchon 12 d'habillage du fourreau et du socle 18 qui, en position montée, est prévu pour masquer la partie avant du boîtier 10.We will now describe in detail the cap 12 for covering the sheath and the base 18 which, in the mounted position, is intended to mask the front part of the housing 10.

Le fourreau 12 est constitué par une pièce unique 46 obtenue par moulage et qui présente sensiblement une forme de plaque.The sheath 12 is constituted by a single piece 46 obtained by molding and which has substantially a plate shape.

Le corps 46 est délimité par une face interne ou face arrière 48 et par une face avant d'habillage 50 sensiblement paralléle à la face interne 48.The body 46 is delimited by an internal face or rear face 48 and by a front covering face 50 substantially parallel to the internal face 48.

Le corps 46 présente un contour sensiblement rectangulaire dont les dimensions sont supérieures à celles de la plaque transversale rectangulaire 22.The body 46 has a substantially rectangular outline whose dimensions are greater than those of the rectangular transverse plate 22.

La partie centrale du corps 46 du capuchon 12 comporte un trou circulaire 52 qui est prévu pour permettre notamment le passage de l'extrémité axiale avant 24 du fourreau 14 en vue de l'introduction d'une clef dans le verrou monté dans l'alésage 16 du fourreau 14.The central part of the body 46 of the cap 12 has a circular hole 52 which is designed to allow in particular the passage of the front axial end 24 of the sleeve 14 with a view to the introduction of a key into the lock mounted in the bore 16 of the sleeve 14.

Au voisinage de son bord inférieur 54, le corps 46 du capuchon 12 comporte deux pattes d'accrochage 56 dont chacune est coudée en forme de S et s'étend axialement depuis la face interne 46 selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de cette face interne 48.In the vicinity of its lower edge 54, the body 46 of the cap 12 comprises two hooking lugs 56 each of which is bent in an S shape and extends axially from the internal face 46 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of this internal face. 48.

Les dimensions et la conformation en S de chacune des pattes d'articulation 56 sont destinées à permettre son introduction dans une fente d'articulation 44 de l'aile 40 correspondante de la plaque de base 20 du socle 18 du boîtier 10 comme cela sera expliqué par la suite.The dimensions and the S-shape of each of the articulation tabs 56 are intended to allow its introduction into an articulation slot 44 of the corresponding wing 40 of the base plate 20 of the base 18 of the housing 10 as will be explained thereafter.

Le corps 46 du capuchon 12 comporte également deux pattes opposées d'accrochage 58 dont chacune s étend axialement depuis la face interne 48 dans un plan vertical perpendiculaire, en position montée, au plan de la plaque de base 20.The body 46 of the cap 12 also includes two opposite latching lugs 58, each of which extends axially from the internal face 48 in a vertical plane perpendicular, in the mounted position, to the plane of the base plate 20.

Chaque patte 58 s'étend depuis un bord latéral 59 du corps 46 en direction du bord latéral en vis-à-vis 36 de la plaque transversale 22.Each tab 58 extends from a lateral edge 59 of the body 46 in the direction of the lateral edge opposite 36 of the transverse plate 22.

L'extrémité libre 60 de chaque patte d'accrochage 58 comporte un trou constituant un cran 62 destiné à recevoir un bec d'accrochage correspondant 38 de la plaque transversale 22.The free end 60 of each attachment tab 58 has a hole constituting a notch 62 intended to receive a corresponding attachment nozzle 38 of the transverse plate 22.

Conformément à l'invention, chacune des pattes d'accrochage 58 est susceptible de se déformer élastiquement, selon une direction transversale, pour permettre l'emboîtement élastique des becs 38 dans les crans 62.According to the invention, each of the hooking lugs 58 is capable of deforming elastically, in a transverse direction, to allow the elastic fitting of the spouts 38 in the notches 62.

On décrira maintenant le mode de montage du capuchon 12 sur le boîtier 10.The method of mounting the cap 12 on the housing 10 will now be described.

Comme cela est illustré sur la figure 2, l'opérateur commence par introduire les extrémités libres des pattes d'articulation 56 dans les fentes 44 des ailes 40.As illustrated in FIG. 2, the operator begins by introducing the free ends of the articulation tabs 56 into the slots 44 of the wings 40.

A cet effet, il est nécessaire d'orienter le capuchon 12 par rapport au boîtier 10 comme cela est illustré aux figures 2 et 3.For this purpose, it is necessary to orient the cap 12 relative to the housing 10 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.

L'opération de montage se poursuit en faisant basculer le capuchon 12, dans le sens horaire en considérant la figure 3, par rapport au boîtier 10, et donc par rapport aux ailes 40, et ceci grâce à la conformation en S des pattes d'articulation 56 qui sont reçues dans les fentes 44.The assembly operation continues by tilting the cap 12, clockwise, considering FIG. 3, with respect to the housing 10, and therefore with respect to the wings 40, and this thanks to the S-shaped configuration of the tabs. articulation 56 which are received in the slots 44.

Ce mouvement de basculement se poursuit jusqu'à la position montée illustrée aux figures 4 à 6.This tilting movement continues until the mounted position illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6.

Dans cette position montée, les becs 38 sont reçus dans les crans 62 des pattes d'accrochage du capuchon 12.In this assembled position, the spouts 38 are received in the notches 62 of the hooking tabs of the cap 12.

En position montée, le capuchon 12 s'étend dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan des ailes 40.In the mounted position, the cap 12 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the wings 40.

Le bord transversal avant 42 des ailes 40 est en appui axial contre la face interne 48 du corps 46 du capuchon 12.The front transverse edge 42 of the wings 40 is in axial abutment against the internal face 48 of the body 46 of the cap 12.

Le capuchon est ainsi verrouillé en position montée sur le boîtier 10 et la coopération des pattes 56 avec les ailes 40 permet une transmission d'efforts, selon une direction parallèle à l'axe du fourreau 14 entre les ailes 40 et le capuchon 12.The cap is thus locked in position mounted on the housing 10 and the cooperation of the legs 56 with the wings 40 allows a transmission of forces, in a direction parallel to the axis of the sheath 14 between the wings 40 and the cap 12.

On comprend aisément que l'opération de montage du capuchon 12 sur le socle 18 du boîtier 10 peut être effectué de manière particulièrement douce, le seul effort nécessaire étant celui pour la déformation des patte d'accrochage 58 dont l'épaisseur peut être réduire car elle n'encaisse ultérieurement pratiquement aucun effort lors de la manoeuvre du dispositif de verrouillage.It is easily understood that the operation of mounting the cap 12 on the base 18 of the housing 10 can be carried out in a particularly gentle manner, the only effort required being that for the deformation of the latching tab 58 whose thickness can be reduced because it subsequently takes virtually no effort during the operation of the locking device.

La bonne transmission des efforts entre la partie inférieure du capuchon 12 et les ailes 40 permet également d'encaisser les efforts lorsque le capuchon est utilisé comme poignée pour la manoeuvre de la porte du coffre.The good transmission of forces between the lower part of the cap 12 and the wings 40 also makes it possible to withstand the forces when the cap is used as a handle for the operation of the trunk door.

Dans l'exemple décrit et représenté, le fourreau 14, la plaque transversale 22 et la plaque de base 20 du socle 18 sont des pièces distinctes assemblées par collage ou soudage.In the example described and shown, the sheath 14, the transverse plate 22 and the base plate 20 of the base 18 are separate parts assembled by gluing or welding.

Bien entendu, cet ensemble fourreau 14 - plaques 20 et 22 peut être constitué d'une seule pièce obtenue par moulage sans pour cela sortir du cadre de la présente invention.Of course, this sleeve assembly 14 - plates 20 and 22 can be made of a single piece obtained by molding without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention.
