Definitions

• the present invention relates to a temporary door stop for a hinge of a motor vehicle door and also to a device for fixing such a temporary door stop.
• doors are mounted and positioned on the body of each vehicle and each vehicle continues its progress towards different assembly stations, to then move on to the painting station, after which we proceed to the dressing of said doors as well as the fitting of various accessories.
• the vehicle body is provided with fixed knuckles, generally two in number per door.
• the doors arrive at the assembly site, each provided with two knuckles, known as mobile knuckles, intended to cooperate with the fixed knuckles of the body.
• Each door, unpainted and not yet fitted with its covering, is therefore mounted on the vehicle body, the knuckles being coupled and made integral by means of a temporary axis.
• the assembly thus assembled continues on its course on the assembly line and passes into the painting station and the door is then dressed.
• FR-A-1 091 949 discloses a temporary door stop mounted on the hinge of a motor vehicle door, said hinge comprising a fixed knuckle secured to the vehicle body, a movable knuckle secured to the door of said vehicle and an axis of articulation of the two knuckles, said stop being formed by a piece of elastic metal comprising means for securing with the hinge pin and one of the two knuckles and provided with at least one part in relief intended to come into contact with the other of the two knuckles when operating the door.
• the object of the invention is to propose a provisional door stop intended to be mounted on a hinge before the painting station and then removed after dressing the door for mounting the final door stop and which has the advantage of being particularly simple to implement and of a very low cost price.
• the invention therefore relates to a temporary door stop mounted on the hinge of a motor vehicle door, said hinge comprising a fixed knuckle secured to the vehicle body, a movable knuckle secured to the door of said vehicle and an axis d articulation of the two knuckles, said stop being formed by an elastic metal part comprising means for securing with the hinge pin and one of the two knuckles and provided with at least one raised part intended to come into contact with the other of the two knuckles during the operation of the door, characterized in that the means for securing the elastic metal part comprise, on the one hand, a substantially rectangular sole for securing with the hinge axis and the movable knuckle and, on the other hand, an elastic T-shaped arm extending said sole and the end branch of which is provided with said raised part.
• the invention also relates to a device for fixing a temporary door stop said device comprising a cylindrical axis having a length greater than the height of the hinge and comprising means for holding the door stop and the movable knuckle on the fixed knuckle, characterized in that the retaining means are formed by a shoulder disposed at one of its ends of the cylindrical axis and by vertical and parallel grooves between them, formed below said shoulder.
• FIGs 1 and 2 there is shown a motor vehicle door hinge respectively in the closed position and in the open position, on which is mounted a provisional door stop according to the invention.
• This hinge is composed of a movable knuckle 1 secured to the vehicle door, not shown and a fixed knuckle 2 secured to the body of this vehicle, not shown and a hinge pin 3, joining the two knuckles 1 and 2.
• This temporary door stop 4 is formed by a piece of elastic metal comprising a substantially rectangular sole 5 for securing with the hinge pin 3 and the movable knuckle 1.
• the elastic metal part also comprises an elastic arm 9 in the form of a T extending the sole 5 and the end branch of which is provided with at least one raised part intended to come into contact with the fixed knuckle during the operation of the door, as we will see later.
• the elastic metal part composed of the sole 5 and the arm 9 is produced by stamping or cutting or stamping.
• the sole 5 of the elastic metal part is embedded in a housing 6 formed in the upper part of the movable knuckle 1, as shown in FIG. 3.
• the sole 5 of the elastic metal part can cover the upper part of this movable knuckle 1.
• the sole 5 of the elastic metal part has an orifice 5a for the passage of the axis 3 and the raised part formed on the end branch of the arm 9 is formed by two bosses, respectively 10 and 11.
• bosses 10 and 11 are intended to come into contact with the fixed knuckle 2.
• the elastic arm 9 is folded at 9a towards this fixed knuckle 2.
• the elastic metal part also includes a substantially rectangular sole 5 for securing with the hinge pin 3 and the movable knuckle 1.
• the sole 5 is also provided with an orifice 5a for the passage of the hinge pin 3.
• the end branch of the T-shaped elastic arm 9 has the shape of a sector 15 in an arc.
• this sector 15 is stamped in order to produce a protuberance forming the raised part.
• This raised part is formed by a continuous boss 16.
• the arm 9 is also folded at 9a in its central part towards the fixed knuckle 2.
• the axis 3 has at its upper part a shoulder 7.
• the sole 5 When mounting the provisional door stop according to the invention, the sole 5 is held in place by the shoulder 7 of the axis 3, which is itself secured to the movable knuckle 1, by means of grooves 8 press fitted.
• the axis 3 has double grooves, respectively 8a and 8b, as shown in FIG. 8.
• long grooves 8a and short grooves 8b are arranged alternately at the periphery of the axis 3, long grooves 8a and short grooves 8b, for example twelve in number.
• the object of these splines 8a and 8b is to effectively maintain the temporary door stop when the axis 3 is completely introduced, that is to say when the long splines 8a and short 8b are all force-fitted into the corresponding bore of the movable knuckle 1.
• the axis 3 has at its end opposite to that provided with the shoulder 9, a groove 13 for positioning an elastic split ring 14.
• the boss 10 comes into contact with the upper edge of the fixed knuckle 2.
• the elastic arm 9 flexes and allows the boss 10 to pass over the upper edge of the fixed knuckle 2.
• the door stop according to the invention allows the door to be kept closed thanks to the boss 10 and the door to be kept open thanks to the boss 11.
• each end 16a and 16b of this continuous boss 16 alternately comes into contact with the upper edge of the fixed knuckle 2 so as to hold the door open or closed.
• This embodiment makes it possible to limit operating jolts which can occur during the passage between the two bosses 10 and 11 of the previous embodiment and therefore to limit the wear of the fixed knuckle 2 by friction.
• the provisional door stop according to the invention therefore allows the door to be held either in the closed position or in the open position.
• the door thus maintained in each position facilitates the transfer operations of the motor vehicle on the production line, the protection and painting operations inside the body and on the internal face of the doors.
• the door stop according to the invention can be reused.
• FIGS. 9 to 12 various devices for fixing the temporary door stop described above have been shown.
• the assembly constituted by the door stop temporary 4 and the movable knuckle 1 is made integral with the fixed knuckle 2 by means of a fixing device.
• This fixing device comprises an axis 20 which consists of a cylindrical rod whose length is greater than the height of the hinge and which comprises means for holding the temporary door stop 4 and the movable knuckle 1 on the knuckle fixed 2.
• the axis 20 is introduced into the corresponding bore of the movable 1 and fixed knuckles 2 with the interposition of a self-lubricating ring 21.
• the end 20a of the axis 20 ends in a cone and is provided with a groove 22.
• the means for holding the temporary door stop 4 and the movable knuckle 1 on the fixed knuckle 2 are formed by a ring 23 comprising a flange 23a and the height of this ring 23 is less than that of the end 20b which exceeds .
• the end 20b of the axis 20 is crimped onto the crimping flange 23a of the ring 23.
• the holding means also comprise an elastic split ring 24 which is disposed in the groove 22 formed at the end 20a of the axis 20.
• This assembly eliminates any longitudinal play of the axis 20.
• the ring 23 furthermore maintains the sole 5 of the temporary door stop 4 in the housing 6 formed at the upper part of the movable knuckle 1.
• the extraction of the axis 20 is easily carried out by means of a gripping tool placed under the flange 23a of the ring 23, after removal of the elastic split ring 24.
• this ring 24 In order to facilitate the extraction of this ring 24, the latter as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, comprises a raised tab 24a provided with a circular orifice 25 allowing the introduction of an extraction tool.
• FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of a cylindrical axis 30 having a length greater than the height of the hinge and which comprises means for holding the temporary door stop 4 and the movable knuckle 1 on the fixed knuckle 2.
• the holding means formed on the axis 30 are formed, on the one hand, by a polygonal head 31 provided at the end 30a of this cylindrical axis 30 and comprising a cylindrical flange 32 below which is disposed a chamfer 33 or a support cone on the sole 5 of the temporary door stop 4 and, on the other hand, by a thread 34 extending over a part of the length of said axis 30, au- below the chamfer 33, for screwing this axis 30 into the movable knuckle 1.
• This thread 34 allows the axis 30 to be screwed into the movable knuckle 1 to hold it in place without using an elastic split ring.
