Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for locking a opening of a motor vehicle comprising means for blocking the linkage.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a device for lock for a motor vehicle opening, of the type in which an operating member is capable of being moved by a first rest position to a second position unlocking in which it causes the unlocking of a opening lock, through a linkage, so to allow the opening of the opening, of the type in which a locking bolt makes it possible to make the operating member inoperative to prevent opening of the door.
  • a first possibility is to plan the immobilization of the actuator either directly or by immobilization of one of the elements of the linkage which connects the operating member to the lock.
  • Such an arrangement has the disadvantage that in the event attempt to break in the locking device, it is possible to force on the operating member from outside the vehicle and thereby damage either the drive or one of the elements of the linkage.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a device for locking which allows, in the locked position, to ensure a reliable locking of the lock without it being possible to damage the device by manipulating the maneuver.
  • the invention provides a device for lock for a motor vehicle opening, of the type comprising an operating member to cause unlocking a lock of the sash via a linkage, in order to allow the opening of the opening, and of the type in which a locking bolt makes it possible to make the operating member inoperative, the linkage comprising a transmission finger mobile, which is controlled by the locking bolt between a active position, in which it cooperates with the organ of operation to cause the unlocking of the lock, and a disengaged position in which it is no longer likely to cooperate with the operating member, and in which the finger transmission cooperates with a stop surface of the locking to block any movement of the linkage in the direction of unlocking the lock, characterized in that the linkage includes a thresher on which the transmission is slidably mounted in one direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the threshing machine when the linkage is controlled by the operation to unlock the lock.
  • a device 10 for locking of a motor vehicle opening (not shown) such as a side door or a tailgate.
  • the device 10 essentially comprises a frame 12, one of which substantially flat rear face 14 is intended to be plated against the internal face (not shown) of a panel bodywork, with interposition around its entire periphery substantially rectangular of a flexible material seal 16 substantially in plate form, to dampen the transmission of vibrations between the device 10 and the body panel.
  • An operating handle 18 is articulated around an axis A1 horizontal, parallel to the plane of the body panel, on the frame 12.
  • the operating handle 18 comprises a gripping block 20 which is intended to extend outside the panel bodywork to be easily accessible to the user.
  • the handle 18 also has two legs 22 which extend towards the front towards the inside of the body panel. The legs 22 are generally received through a hole provided for this purpose in the body panel, and extend also through a central opening 24 of the flexible seal 16 and through two orifices 26 of the main plate 15 of the frame 12.
  • the legs 22 are curved upwards so that their free upper end allows their articulation on sidewalls 28 of the frame 12 which extend perpendicular to the main plate 15 from its internal face 30.
  • a rod 32 is introduced horizontally into holes 34 of the legs 22 and in corresponding holes 36 of the sides 28 to allow the rotatable mounting of the handle 18 on the housing 12, around of axis A1.
  • the handle 18 is thus articulated substantially parallel to the upper edge 38 of the main plate 15, of the side of the internal face of the plate 15 thus articulated.
  • the handle 18 can be operated from the outside, by the user between a rest position shown in particular in Figure 4 and an unlocked position shown in Figure 6 in which the gripping block 20 has tilted outwards and upwards around the axis A1.
  • the operating handle 18 is intended to cause the pivoting of a tilting movement return plate called thresher 40 which is rotatably mounted on the housing 12 by a substantially central portion, around a perpendicular axis A2 to the axis A1 of articulation of the handle 18.
  • thresher 40 which is rotatably mounted on the housing 12 by a substantially central portion, around a perpendicular axis A2 to the axis A1 of articulation of the handle 18.
  • the thresher 40 is made from a metal plate and it is articulated at the end of a stud 41 which extends substantially horizontally from the internal face 30 of the main plate 15 of the frame 12, at the level of the central part from its upper edge 38.
  • the free end of the stud 41 is received in a central bore 43 of the thresher 40 which is held axially bearing against a radial collar of the stud 41 by a pin type system.
  • the thresher 40 acts as a movement reference arranged between the handle 18 and the linkage which controls the lock.
  • one of the legs 22 of the handle 18 has a lever 42 which extends substantially horizontally towards inside, when the handle is in the rest position.
  • the lever 42 When the handle is maneuvered to its position of unlocking, the lever 42, which is arranged opposite the block of grip with respect to the axis A1, lowers downwards in a plane perpendicular to the axis A1, and is intended to cooperate with a first end 44 of the thresher 40 while the second end 46 of the thresher 40, opposite with respect to the axis A2, is intended to be connected to a rod or cable (not shown) to operate the lock.
  • the lever 42 does not cooperate directly with the first end 44 of the thresher 40 but via a transmission finger 48 of axis A5 which is mounted to slide, in a direction parallel to the axis A1 of articulation of the handle 18, in a light 49 arranged in the first end 44 of the thresher 40.
  • Transmission finger 48 extends from a rear face 47 of the thresher 40 and it is received in a light 49 thanks to a nipple 51 so as to be able to slide between an active position which is shown more particularly in FIGS. 3, 5 and 10 and a disengaged position which is shown in FIG. 7 and 11.
  • the transmission finger 48 is arranged at plumb with lever 42 of handle 18 so that when the user lifts the gripping block 20 from the handle 18, the lever 42 is lowered by pivoting around the axis A1 to lean on the transmission finger 48 which, being stressed perpendicular to its sliding direction, causes the rotation of the thresher 40 about its axis A2 in order to allow unlocking the lock.
  • the transmission finger 48 has an upper face 45 cooperating with the lever 42 which is curved to facilitate the relative movement of the two parts which are articulated around orthogonal axes.
  • springs of recall 50, 52 respectively bring back the handle 18 and the threshing machine 40 in their respective initial positions.
  • the transmission finger 48 is then supported by a substantially planar lower face 54 on a surface of stop 56 which is substantially horizontal and which extends from the rear face 30 of the main plate 15.
  • the transmission finger 48 then being immobilized according to the vertical direction, down, and it's impossible to rotate the thresher 40 counterclockwise considering the figures, and it is therefore impossible to cause the lock to be unlocked, even if you succeed in insert a tool on the inside of the lock and if you try to operate the thresher 40.
  • the rest position of the thresher 40 is determined by a bearing surface 55 formed on the housing 12 and on which the thresher 40 is supported by its end section 46 opposite to that with finger 48.
  • the thresher 40 is therefore not liable to pivot in the clockwise considering the figures, beyond its position of rest, so that when the transmission finger 48 is in disengaged position, the movement of the thresher 40 is blocked in both directions around its axis of rotation A2.
  • the finger transmission 48 has a substantially vertical side face 58 which, when the finger 48 and the handle 18 are respectively in the disengaged and unlocked position, is arranged opposite a side face 59 of the lever 42 so as to prohibit the return of finger 48 to its active position.
  • the locking device 10 is provided a rotary lock 60 of axis A3 whose main body 62 is mounted in a corresponding orifice formed in the housing, substantially in the center of the main plate 15, below the hinge stud 41 of the thresher 40, substantially in the center orifices 26 for passage of the legs 22.
  • the tubular main body 62 is thus mounted so that its rear end protrudes through the panel body to allow engagement of a key which, if it corresponds to this lock, allows the rotational drive of a rotor (not shown) of the lock 60, and of an output shaft 66 of axis A3 which protrudes at the front axial end 68 of the latch 60.
  • a return disc 70 is mounted integral in rotation on the output shaft 66 of the latch 60 and comprises, on a front face 72, a cylindrical pin 74 of axis A4 parallel to the axis A3 of the lock 60 but eccentric to it.
  • the latch 60 is of the type in which the stroke maximum of the rotor is of the order of a quarter to a third of a turn and the pin 74 is arranged on the disc 70 so that, for both extreme positions of the rotor of latch 60, it occupies two positions symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the axis A1 of articulation of the handle 18 passing through the axis A3 of the lock.
  • pawn 74 is likely to occupy two positions extremes shifted to the left and to the right around the axis A3 of rotation of the lock, considering the figures, but located substantially on the same horizontal level as the abutment surface horizontal 56 on which the transmission finger 48 rests in the disengaged position.
  • the transmission finger 48 comprises a rod 76 which extends substantially in the direction of the axis A1, which is made integrally with finger 48, and whose the free end is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical pin 74.
  • the electric actuator 78 which is shown in the figures is of the linear type and it is fixed on a plate 79 which is made integrally with the main plate 15 of the housing 12.
  • the actuator 78 essentially comprises a housing 79 and a control rod 80 movable in translation in a direction parallel to the axis A1 of articulation of the handle 18 between two positions whose spacing is substantially equal to the spacing of the two active and disengaged positions of the transmission finger.
  • the control rod 80 controls the rotation of the disc 70 connected to the lock rotor via a bar 82 which extends substantially parallel to the link 76 of the finger 48, below it, and which connects the free end of the rod 80 to a stud 84 which is formed on the front face 72 of the return disc 70, diametrically opposite the pin 74 which controls the movements of the transmission finger 48.
