Description

La présente invention concerne un vitrage déplaçable en hauteur pour véhicule comprenant une vitre au bord inférieur de laquelle est fixé un élément de retenue pourvu d'un patin, qui coopère avec une glissière de guidage rigide montée dans le caisson de portière, et qui est mobile à coulissement le long de la glissière de guidage.The present invention relates to glazing movable in height for vehicle comprising a window lower edge of which a retaining element is fixed provided with a shoe, which cooperates with a guide slide rigid mounted in the door casing, which is movable sliding along the guide rail.

Des vitrages déplaçables en hauteur de ce type pour véhicule sont en outre pourvus d'un organe d'entraínement, auquel est accroché en règle générale un câble de traction déplacé manuellement ou par un moteur électrique. Cet organe d'entraínement peut être monté sur l'élément de retenue ou sur le patin. Le patin et la glissière de guidage ont pour mission d'assurer un guidage fiable de la vitre de telle sorte que, dans certaines circonstances, on puisse se passer de glissières de guidage prévues sur les côtés dans le caisson de portière.Glazing windows of this type for vehicle are further provided with a drive member, to which a traction cable is generally attached moved manually or by an electric motor. This organ drive can be mounted on the retainer or on skate. The purpose of the skate and the guide rail is to ensure reliable guiding of the window so that, under certain circumstances we can do without guide rails provided on the sides in the housing door.

Dans le cas d'un vitrage pour véhicule connu d'après le document DE 3001617, l'élément de retenue et le patin sont fabriqués en une seule pièce en matière plastique, le patin étant relié à l'élément de retenue sur toute sa longueur coulissant dans un tube de guidage fendu. Dans le cas de cet agencement, le patin peut facilement se coincer dans le tube de guidage lors du déplacement en hauteur du vitrage si les différents éléments du vitrage ne sont pas fixés et installés avec une grande précision. In the case of glazing for a known vehicle according to document DE 3001617, the retaining element and the pads are made in one piece of plastic, the pad being connected to the retaining element over its entire length sliding in a split guide tube. In the case of this arrangement, the shoe can easily get caught in the guide tube when moving the glass in height if the various elements of the glazing are not fixed and installed with great precision.

On connaít d'après le document DE 4102941 un vitrage déplaçable en hauteur pour véhicule du type susmentionné dans le cas duquel l'élément de retenue est constitué de deux plaques de serrage qui sont fixées au moyen d'une vis sur le bord du vitrage.We know from document DE 4102941 a height-adjustable glazing for vehicle of the type above in the case of which the retaining element is consisting of two clamping plates which are fixed by means a screw on the edge of the glazing.

Dans ce cas, le patin se trouve vissé avec les plaques de serrage. Dans ce cas également, les pièces constitutives doivent être montées avec une grande précision si l'on veut écarter le risque que la course devienne dure du fait du coincement du patin et de la glissière de guidage lors du déplacement en hauteur de la vitre.In this case, the shoe is screwed with the clamping plates. In this case also, the parts components must be fitted with great precision if we want to avoid the risk that the race will become hard from jammed pad and guide rail when displacement in height of the glass.

L'invention a pour but de procurer un vitrage déplaçable en hauteur pour véhicule du type mentionné ci-dessus, avec lequel le risque de coincement lors du déplacement en hauteur du vitrage est largement écarté, et pour lequel il n'est pas nécessaire de respecter une grande précision lors du montage et de l'ajustage de pièces constitutives, permettant ainsi une réduction de la main-d'oeuvre.The object of the invention is to provide glazing movable in height for vehicle of the type mentioned above, with which the risk of jamming during displacement in height of the glazing is widely spread, and for which it is not necessary to respect a large precision when assembling and adjusting parts constitutive, thus allowing a reduction of the workforce.

Ce but est atteint, conformément à l'invention, par le fait que l'élément de retenue et le patin sont faits d'un polymère pouvant être sollicité mécaniquement et constituent une seule pièce, et par le fait qu'entre l'élément de retenue et le patin est prévu un raccord de section transversale réduite, de telle sorte que les tolérances imposées par la fabrication et le montage des pièces constitutives soient compensées par la déformation élastique de ce raccord.This object is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by the fact that the retainer and the shoe are made of mechanically stressed polymer and constitute one piece, and by the fact that between the retaining element and the shoe is provided with a cross section fitting reduced, so that the tolerances imposed by the manufacture and assembly of the constituent parts be compensated by the elastic deformation of this fitting.

Le polymère dont est constituée la pièce moulée comprenant l'élément de retenue, le raccord et le patin, doit également présenter la résistance mécanique et la dureté requises afin de garantir un guidage stable et fiable de la vitre lors du mouvement ascendant et descendant. Des polymères mi-durs ayant une dureté de Shore A 80 à Shore D 80, en particulier de dureté Shore A comprise entre 80 et 90 ou de dureté Shore D comprise environ entre 30 et 80 (essai de dureté de Shore A et D suivant la norme DIN 53505) se sont avérés efficaces. D'une part, en raison de la réduction de la section transversale du raccord entre l'élément de retenue et le patin, la stabilité de la pièce moulée qui est nécessaire pour assurer le guidage fiable ne peut pas être réduite de manière exagérée. D'autre part, cette réduction de la section transversale doit être dimensionnée de manière à atteindre une souplesse suffisante entre l'élément de retenue et le patin. La proportion de la réduction de la section transversale du raccord doit donc être choisie en tenant compte de ces points de vue. Elle dépend du polymère utilisé dans chaque cas et peut être déterminée facilement pour chaque cas individuel par des essais.The polymer of which the molded part is made including the retaining element, the fitting and the shoe, must also have mechanical strength and hardness required to ensure stable and reliable guidance of the window during upward and downward movement. Polymers medium hard with a hardness of Shore A 80 to Shore D 80, in particular Shore A hardness between 80 and 90 or Shore D hardness between approximately 30 and 80 (test of hardness of Shore A and D according to DIN 53505) are proven effective. On the one hand, due to the reduction in the cross section of the connection between the retaining element and the pad, the stability of the molded part which is necessary to ensure reliable guidance cannot be reduced by exaggerated way. On the other hand, this reduction in section transverse must be dimensioned so as to reach a sufficient flexibility between the retainer and the pad. The proportion of the reduction in the cross section of the fitting must therefore be chosen taking these points into account of view. It depends on the polymer used in each case and can be easily determined for each individual case by tests.

Concernant la pièce moulée en polymère, il peut s'agir d'une pièce préfabriquée qui est fixée sur la vitre par un procédé connu, par exemple par un assemblage à encliquetage, par vissage ou par collage.Regarding the polymer molded part, it can be a prefabricated part which is fixed to the glass by a known process, for example by assembling click-in, screwed or glued.

Suivant une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la pièce moulée est cependant constituée d'un corps en polymère issu d'un polymère thermoplastique ou d'un système réactionnel et moulé directement sur le vitrage. Le façonnage et la fixation du corps moulé sont réalisés dans ce cas en une seule opération, par exemple à l'aide du procédé de moulage par injection ou du procédé de moulage par injection et réaction (procédé RIM). On veille, le cas échéant, par un traitement préalable approprié de la surface du verre, à assurer une liaison durable à la vitre.According to a particularly embodiment advantageous of the invention, the molded part is however made of a polymer body from a polymer thermoplastic or reaction system and molded directly on the glazing. The shaping and fixing of the molded bodies are produced in this case in a single operation, for example using the injection molding process or injection molding and reaction process (RIM process). We watch, if necessary, by an appropriate preliminary treatment of the glass surface, to ensure a lasting bond to the window.

D'autres aspects de réalisation et avantages de l'invention ressortiront des revendications dépendantes et de la description suivante de différents exemples de réalisation avec référence au dessin annexé.Other aspects of realization and advantages of the invention will emerge from the dependent claims and from the following description of various exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Dans le dessin :

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue en coupe d'un vitrage déplaçable en hauteur dans la zone du dispositif de guidage, suivant une première forme de réalisation, et
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe d'un vitrage déplaçable en hauteur dans la zone du dispositif de guidage, suivant une autre forme de réalisation.
  • In the drawing:
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a glazing displaceable in height in the region of the guide device, according to a first embodiment, and
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a glazing movable in height in the region of the guide device, according to another embodiment.
  • Le vitrage 1 est une vitre de portière déplaçable en hauteur. Dans le cas représenté, il s'agit d'un vitrage de sécurité monolithique, mais il peut également s'agir d'un vitrage feuilleté de sécurité. La zone marginale inférieure de la vitre 1, représentée ici, avec sa surface périphérique inférieure 2 se trouve à l'intérieur de la portière (caisson), même lorsque la vitre est en position fermée. La glissière de guidage rigide 3, par exemple un profilé en aluminium, est montée à demeure dans le caisson de portière suivant une orientation sensiblement verticale. La glissière de guidage 3 doit présenter une section transversale telle qu'elle permette au patin qui coulisse le long de celle-ci de maintenir sa position sur la glissière de guidage. A cette fin, dans le cas présent, la glissière de guidage 3 de section transversale profilée en U est pourvue d'une aile coudée 4. The glazing 1 is a movable door window in height. In the case shown, it is a glazing of monolithic security, but it can also be a laminated safety glass. The lower marginal area of window 1, shown here, with its peripheral surface lower 2 is inside the door (box), even when the window is in the closed position. The slide of rigid guide 3, for example an aluminum profile, is permanently mounted in the door box following a substantially vertical orientation. Guide rail 3 must have a cross section as it allows to the skate that slides along it to maintain its position on the guide rail. To this end, in the case present, the cross section guide rail 3 U-shaped profile has a bent wing 4.

    Le patin 7 coopère avec la glissière de guidage 3 et sa section transversale dans la zone des surfaces de glissement correspond à la section transversale de la glissière de guidage 3. L'élément de retenue 10, comprenant deux parties latérales 11, 12 en forme de plaque et une partie inférieure 13, sert à relier le patin 7 au vitrage 1. L'élément de retenue 10 est collé solidement à la vitre 1.The shoe 7 cooperates with the guide slide 3 and its cross section in the area of the surfaces of slip corresponds to the cross section of the guide rail 3. The retaining element 10, comprising two side parts 11, 12 in the form of a plate and one part lower 13, is used to connect the shoe 7 to the glazing 1. The retaining element 10 is firmly glued to the window 1.

    Le patin 7 et l'élément de retenue 10 font partie d'un même corps moulé fait d'un polymère approprié. La liaison entre l'élément de retenue 10 et le patin 7 est assurée par le raccord 15. Ce raccord 15 a une section transversale réduite par rapport à la partie adjacente du patin 7. Il faut en l'occurrence choisir les dimensions de la section transversale et la longueur du raccord 15 en fonction des propriétés mécaniques de chaque polymère utilisé de telle sorte que le raccord 15 transmette sans problèmes les forces de traction et de pression entrant en action et veille à la stabilité nécessaire du guidage, tout en maintenant une élasticité et une souplesse suffisantes.The shoe 7 and the retaining element 10 are part of the same molded body made of a suitable polymer. The link between the retaining element 10 and the shoe 7 is provided by the connector 15. This connector 15 has a reduced cross section relative to the adjacent part of the shoe 7. It is necessary to the occurrence choose the dimensions of the cross section and the length of the connector 15 depending on the properties mechanics of each polymer used so that the connection 15 easily transmits the tensile forces and pressure comes into action and ensures stability necessary guidance, while maintaining elasticity and sufficient flexibility.

    L'ensemble du corps en polymère moulé, comprenant le patin 7, l'élément de retenue 10 et le raccord 15, est de préférence fabriqué in situ par injection ou moulage d'un polymère sur le bord du vitrage 1. A cette fin, on utilise un moule pour moulage par injection approprié, on introduit le bord du vitrage dans le moule et, par exemple suivant le procédé RIM, on introduit dans le moule un mélange réactionnel composé d'un composant isocyanate approprié et d'un composant de polyol approprié. Le mélange réactionnel établit directement une liaison avec la surface du verre qui, le cas échéant, a été préalablement traitée au moyen d'un agent adhésif approprié, et réagit dans le moule pour former le corps de moulage.The whole body in molded polymer, including the shoe 7, the retaining element 10 and the connector 15, is preferably made in situ by injection or molding of a polymer on the edge of the glazing 1. For this purpose, a mold for appropriate injection molding, the edge of the glazing in the mold and, for example according to the RIM process, a reaction mixture is introduced into the mold composed of an appropriate isocyanate component and a component of suitable polyol. The reaction mixture establishes directly a bond with the surface of the glass which, if if applicable, has been previously treated with an agent suitable adhesive, and reacts in the mold to form the molding body.

    En outre, un mécanisme de levage et d'abaissement est monté dans le caisson de portière et est relié au corps moulé par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'entraínement. L'organe d'entraínement et le lève-vitre ne sont toutefois pas représentés dans ces figures.In addition, a lifting and lowering mechanism is mounted in the door casing and is connected to the body molded via a drive member. The organ and the window regulator are not shown in these figures.

    La Fig. 2 représente une autre forme de réalisation. Dans le cas de cette forme de réalisation, la vitre 21 se déplace le long de la glissière de guidage 22. La glissière de guidage 22 est constituée d'un profilé plat 23 et d'une nervure médiane 24 de section transversale triangulaire ou en forme de champignon. Le patin 25, qui coopère avec cette glissière de guidage 22, comporte un canal longitudinal 26 de section transversale correspondante. Une telle configuration du patin et de la glissière de guidage offre l'avantage de faciliter le montage de la vitre 21 pourvue du patin 25 dans le caisson de portière. Fig. 2 shows another embodiment. In the case of this embodiment, the window 21 moves along the guide rail 22. The guide rail 22 consists of a flat profile 23 and a middle rib 24 of triangular or shaped cross section mushroom. The shoe 25, which cooperates with this guide slide 22, has a longitudinal channel 26 of corresponding cross section. Such a configuration of the shoe and of the guide rail offers the advantage of facilitating the mounting of the window 21 provided with the shoe 25 in the door casing.

    En effet, le patin 25 peut alors être monté sur la nervure 24 par une simple pression vu que, grâce à son élasticité, le matériau polymère se déforme sous l'effet de la pression et reprend sa forme initiale dès qu'il a atteint la position finale. Afin d'augmenter l'élasticité lors de l'engagement par pression du patin, la zone de flexion 42 du patin peut être réduite par une fente 41.Indeed, the pad 25 can then be mounted on the rib 24 by a simple pressure since, thanks to its elasticity, the polymer material deforms under the effect of pressure and returns to its original shape as soon as it reaches the final position. In order to increase the elasticity during pressure engagement of the shoe, the flexion zone 42 of the shoe can be reduced by a slot 41.

    Le patin 25 présente des saillies latérales 29, 30 parmi lesquelles la saillie 29 est pourvue de dents 31. Entre ces saillies 29, 30 est serrée une courroie dentée 32 servant à la transmission de la force du lève-vitre au patin 25 et ainsi à la vitre 21. The shoe 25 has lateral projections 29, 30 among which the projection 29 is provided with teeth 31. Between these projections 29, 30 are tightened a toothed belt 32 serving the transmission of power from the window regulator to shoe 25 and thus to the window 21.

    La liaison entre le patin 25 et la vitre 21 est à nouveau assurée par un élément de retenue 35 collé à la vitre 21 auquel se raccorde, sur sa partie inférieure 36 située au niveau de la surface périphérique inférieure 27 (chant inférieur) de la vitre 21, le raccord 37 de section transversale réduite.The connection between the shoe 25 and the window 21 is at again ensured by a retaining element 35 glued to the glass 21 to which is connected, on its lower part 36 located at level of the lower peripheral surface 27 (edge lower) of the window 21, the section connector 37 reduced transverse.

    L'ensemble de la pièce moulée, comprenant le patin 25, l'élément de retenue 35 et le raccord 37, est à nouveau injecté sur la vitre 21, comme décrit avec référence à la Fig. 1, au moyen de la technique de moulage par injection ou du procédé RIM, le cas échéant après un traitement préalable approprié de la surface du verre. A cet égard, lorsque le polymère utilisé pour le corps venu de moulage présente une trop faible aptitude au glissement, une gaine de glissement 40, profilée de manière appropriée et faite d'une autre matière possédant de bonnes propriétés de glissement, peut le cas échéant être intégrée dans le patin 25 dans la zone du canal de glissement 26.The whole of the molded part, comprising the shoe 25, the retaining element 35 and the connector 37, is again injected onto the window 21, as described with reference to FIG. 1 , using the injection molding technique or the RIM process, where appropriate after an appropriate preliminary treatment of the glass surface. In this regard, when the polymer used for the molded body has too low a sliding capacity, a sliding sheath 40, suitably profiled and made of another material having good sliding properties, can if necessary be integrated into the shoe 25 in the area of the sliding channel 26.
