In order to secure and pre-position these elements 5 relative to the intermediate plate 4, the latter is more provided with appropriate means, here a support in the form of a tab 42 in one piece with the intermediate mounting plate 4, extending perpendicularly in the plane of the plate and having slots for passage connecting elements 5.

La plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 a une forme générale rectangulaire et est disposée de telle sorte que sa grande médiane soit sensiblement horizontale lorsque le véhicule repose sur un sol approximativement horizontal; elle présente une lumière 43 également de forme générale rectangulaire en regard de la lumière du panneau extérieur 1, destinée à l'insertion des mêmes parties de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3, et la région périphérique 44 de la plaque constitue un contour fermé pour cette lumière. Les moyens de solidarisation mutuelle 41 de la plaque intermédiaire 4 sont constitués par des languettes prolong eant la région périphérique de la plaque à l'intérieur du contour de forme générale rectangulaire de la lumière 43 et ainsi en saillie par rapport à la région périphérique 44, vers l'intérieur. Ces languettes 41 sont portées par les deux grands côtés de la région périphérique 44 de la plaque 4; elles présentent ici elles-mêmes une forme rectangulaire, se font vis-à-vis deux à deux, et leurs faces sont au moins approximativement planes et parallèles.The intermediate mounting plate 4 has a general shape rectangular and is arranged so that its large median is substantially horizontal when the vehicle rests on rough ground horizontal; it has a light 43 also in shape general rectangular opposite the light of the outer panel 1, for inserting the same parts of the opening control outer 3, and the peripheral region 44 of the plate constitutes an outline closed for this light. Means of mutual solidarity 41 of the intermediate plate 4 are formed by tongues extending the region device of the plate inside the outline of general shape rectangular of light 43 and so protruding from the region device 44, inward. These tongues 41 are carried by the two long sides of the peripheral region 44 of the plate 4; they present here themselves a rectangular shape, face each other in pairs, and their faces are at least approximately flat and parallel.

Outre le fait qu'elle est portée par la plaque support du module, la plaque intermédiaire 4 est solidarisée à la porte par une vis 6 dont le corps traverse le chant 2 de celle-ci et comporte un filetage coopérant avec un taraudage porté par la plaque intermédiaire 4 dont un côté vertical de la région périphérique 44 a son bord extérieur prolongé par une patte 45 s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan général de la plaque 4. C'est cette patte 45 qui porte le taraudage pour le filetage de la vis 6, ce taraudage pouvant être usiné directement dans un trou de la patte si l'épaisseur de celle-ci est suffisante, ou dans une pièce 46 rapportée et percée à cette fin en regard d'un tel trou si la patte 45 est trop mince.Besides the fact that it is carried by the module support plate, the intermediate plate 4 is secured to the door by a screw 6 whose body cross the edge 2 thereof and has a thread cooperating with a internal thread carried by the intermediate plate 4, one vertical side of the region peripheral 44 has its outer edge extended by a tab 45 extending perpendicular to the general plane of the plate 4. It is this tab 45 which carries the thread for the thread of the screw 6, this thread can be machined directly into a hole in the tab if the thickness of the tab is sufficient, or in a part 46 attached and drilled for this purpose opposite such a hole if the leg 45 is too thin.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur les figures, la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 est montée sur la plaque support du module à distance de celle-ci et de manière à être déplaçable en translation parallèlement à elle-même en restant dans un même plan, par exemple au moyen de glissières prévues sur la plaque support.In the embodiment shown in the figures, the plate mounting intermediate 4 is mounted on the module support plate distance from it and so as to be movable in translation parallel to itself by staying in the same plane, for example at by means of slides provided on the support plate.

La commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 comporte en tant que moyens de solidarisation mutuelle 32, outre d'éventuels moyens de clipsage déjà mentionnés, des moyens de serrage adaptés pour coopérer avec une ou plusieurs languettes 41 de la plaque intermédiaire. Ces moyens de serrage sont constitués par des doigts coudés en L portés par une face de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 tournée vers l'intérieur de la porte et disposés de manière à traverser les lumières du panneau 1 de porte et de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4. Ces doigts en L 32 ont une branche dont l'extrémité opposée au coude se raccorde à la face de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 tournée vers l'intérieur de la porte, et qui est perpendiculaire à cette face; l'autre branche du doigt en L 32 comporte une face adaptée pour venir au moins partiellement en vis-à-vis d'une face d'une languette 41 de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 qui est tournée vers l'intérieur de la porte, et cette face du doigt 32, sensiblement plane, est inclinée par rapport à la face en vis-à-vis de la languette 41 et à celle de la commande d'ouverture extérieure, en se rapprochant de cette face de la commande d'ouverture extérieure en allant en direction de la patte 45 taraudée de la plaque intermédiaire, la direction de plus grande inclinaison étant dans un plan perpendiculaire à ceux de la plaque intermédiaire 4 et de la patte taraudée 45; ainsi, lorsque les faces partiellement en vis-à-vis des doigts en L 32 de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 et des languettes 41 de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 sont en contact, tandis que cette dernière est maintenue dans un même plan par suite de sa solidarisation à la plaque support et que la commande d'ouverture extérieure est mise dans l'impossibilité de se déplacer autrement qu'en éloignement ou en rapprochement de la plaque intermédiaire par suite par exemple d'un contact à frottement avec le panneau extérieur de porte, un déplacement de la plaque intermédiaire 4 dans une direction X (figure 3) dans laquelle la face inclinée du doigt en L 32 converge vers la face de la commande d'ouverture extérieure qui le porte entraíne un mouvement de cette face de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 en direction du plan de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 (direction Y) et son serrage contre le panneau extérieur 1.The exterior opening control 3 comprises as mutual securing means 32, in addition to possible clipping means already mentioned, clamping means adapted to cooperate with one or more several tabs 41 of the intermediate plate. These clamping means consist of bent L-shaped fingers carried by one side of the exterior opening control 3 facing the interior of the door and arranged so as to pass through the lights of the door panel 1 and the intermediate mounting plate 4. These L-shaped fingers 32 have a branch of which the end opposite the elbow connects to the face of the control outside opening 3 facing the inside of the door, and which is perpendicular to this face; the other branch of the finger in L 32 has a face adapted to come at least partially in front of a face of a tongue 41 of the intermediate mounting plate 4 which faces the interior of the door, and this face of the finger 32, substantially planar, is inclined relative to the face opposite the tongue 41 and to that of the control opening, approaching this side of the control outside opening towards the tapped tab 45 of the intermediate plate, the direction of greatest inclination being in a plane perpendicular to those of the intermediate plate 4 and the threaded tab 45; thus, when the faces partially facing the L 32 fingers of the external opening control 3 and tabs 41 of the plate mounting intermediate 4 are in contact, while the latter is maintained in the same plane as a result of its attachment to the plate support and the exterior opening control is placed in the impossibility of moving otherwise than away or approximation of the intermediate plate as a result for example of a contact friction with the outer door panel, displacement of the plate intermediate 4 in a direction X (FIG. 3) in which the inclined face of the L-shaped finger 32 converges towards the face of the exterior opening control which the door causes movement of this face of the opening control outside 3 towards the plane of the intermediate mounting plate 4 (direction Y) and tightening it against the outer panel 1.

Afin de provoquer le déplacement de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 dans son propre plan, la vis 6 s'étend le long d'un axe central horizontal et parallèle au plan de cette plaque 4, et ainsi une simple rotation de la vis dont la tête est en appui contre le chant 2 de la porte et dont le filetage est en prise dans le taraudage de la patte 45, entraíne le mouvement de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 vers le chant 2 et le serrage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 contre le panneau extérieur 1 de porte.In order to cause the displacement of the intermediate plate of mounting 4 in its own plane, the screw 6 extends along a central axis horizontal and parallel to the plane of this plate 4, and thus a simple rotation of the screw whose head is in abutment against edge 2 of the door and whose thread is engaged in the thread of the lug 45, causes the movement of the intermediate mounting plate 4 to edge 2 and tightening of the exterior opening control 3 against the exterior door panel 1.

Comme on l'a vu par ailleurs, la plaque intermédiaire 4 est munie d'une patte 42 perpendiculaire comportant des fentes pour le passage des éléments de liaison 5. Le but étant de solidariser ces éléments de liaison 5 de telle sorte qu'ils soient pré-positionnés afin de pouvoir être fixés de manière pratique au moyen d'ouverture manuelle et au moyen d'ouverture par clé. les éléments de liaison 5 comportent un manchon extérieur 51 ayant un diamètre extérieur ou une largeur, selon la forme de la section transversale du manchon, supérieure à la largeur de la fente correspondante de la patte, présentant une gorge 52 insérée dans la fente de la patte 42. Ainsi, les éléments de liaison 5 sont en position fixe par rapport à la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 et suivent celle-ci dans son mouvement, pour provoquer l'accrochage de la région de leur extrémité libre 53 dans un cran du moyen d'ouverture manuelle et du moyen d'ouverture à clé non représentés, respectivement. Afin de permettre un réglage de la longueur des éléments de liaison 5 dépassant au-dessus de la patte 42, il est possible de prévoir une mobilité et un blocage des manchons 51 le long des câbles ou des tiges des éléments de liaison, ou par rapport à la patte 42 de la plaque intermédiaire.As has been seen elsewhere, the intermediate plate 4 is provided of a perpendicular tab 42 comprising slots for the passage of connecting elements 5. The aim being to secure these connecting elements 5 of so that they are pre-positioned so that they can be fixed so convenient by manual opening and by key opening. the connecting elements 5 comprise an outer sleeve 51 having a diameter outside or a width, depending on the shape of the cross section of the sleeve, greater than the width of the corresponding slot in the tab, having a groove 52 inserted in the slot of the tab 42. Thus, the connecting elements 5 are in a fixed position relative to the intermediate mounting plate 4 and follow it in its movement, to provoke the attachment of the region of their free end 53 in a notch of the manual opening means and of the key opening means not shown, respectively. In order to allow a adjustment of the length of the connecting elements 5 protruding above the leg 42, it is possible to provide mobility and blocking of the sleeves 51 along the cables or rods of the connecting elements, or in relation to the tab 42 of the intermediate plate.

Le montage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 au moyen de ce dispositif est simple, puisque la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4 étant solidarisée à un emplacement prédéterminé approprié de la plaque support du module d'équipement de manière à rester mobile en translation en direction du chant 2 de la porte, les manchons 51 des éléments de liaisons étant insérés dans les fentes, et la plaque support du module étant en place, on présente la commande d'ouverture extérieure à l'emplacement qui lui est dévolu du panneau extérieur 1, et on insère ses doigts coudés en L 32 dans la lumière du panneau extérieur 1 puis dans celle de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4, en les disposant latéralement aux languettes 41 de cette dernière, on applique la commande d'ouverture extérieure contre le panneau extérieur 1 en la clipsant s'il y a lieu et en la translatant de telle sorte que les faces inclinées des doigts en L 32 viennent partiellement en vis-à-vis des languettes 41, on introduit le corps de la vis dans le chant 2 de la porte et dans le trou taraudé de la plaque intermédiaire de montage 4, et on serre la vis, ce qui provoque le rapprochement de la plaque intermédiaire 4 du chant 2 de la porte, le serrage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure contre le panneau 1 de porte, et l'accrochage des extrémités 53 des éléments de liaison.The mounting of the exterior opening control 3 by means of of this device is simple, since the intermediate mounting plate 4 being secured to a suitable predetermined location on the support plate of the equipment module so as to remain movable in translation towards the edge 2 of the door, the sleeves 51 of the connecting elements being inserted in the slots, and the module support plate being in place, the external opening control at the location assigned to it by the panel outside 1, and insert your fingers bent in L 32 in the light of the outer panel 1 then in that of the intermediate mounting plate 4, by placing them laterally at the tabs 41 of the latter, we apply the exterior opening control against the exterior panel 1 at the clipping if necessary and translating it so that the inclined faces of the L-shaped fingers 32 partially face the tongues 41, we introduces the body of the screw into edge 2 of the door and into the threaded hole of the intermediate mounting plate 4, and the screw is tightened, which causes the approximation of the intermediate plate 4 of the edge 2 of the door, the tightening the exterior opening control against the door panel 1, and the attachment of the ends 53 of the connecting elements.

Il est de plus possible de prévoir une étanchéification au moyen par exemple d'un joint interposé entre la commande d'ouverture extérieure 3 et le panneau 1 de porte. It is also possible to provide a sealing by means for example a seal interposed between the exterior opening control 3 and door panel 1.

En variante (non représentée sur les dessins), la plaque intermédiaire de montage est montée fixe, par exemple collée, sur la plaque support du module d'équipement, et les moyens de pré-positionnement des éléments de liaison 5 des moyens d'ouverture à une serrure comprennent un support séparé muni d'une plaque de base comportant des trous traversants pour recevoir les éléments de liaison 5; des organes de fixation amovible sont prévus pour fixer le support à la commande d'ouverture extérieure, par exemple par clipsage; le support peut ainsi par exemple être réalisé sous la forme d'un boítier dont une paroi peut être pliée de manière à constituer une ou plusieurs pattes de clipsage ou d'accrochage. Le serrage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure est alors réalisé au moyen d'une vis également insérée dans le chant 2 de la porte.Alternatively (not shown in the drawings), the plate mounting intermediate is mounted fixed, for example glued, on the plate support for the equipment module, and the means for pre-positioning the connecting elements 5 of the means for opening a lock comprise a separate support with base plate with through holes to receive the connecting elements 5; removable fasteners are provided for fixing the support to the external opening control, for example by clipping; the support can thus for example be produced in the form of a case, one wall of which can be folded so as to constitute one or more clips or hooking tabs. Tightening of the opening control exterior is then produced by means of a screw also inserted in the door song 2.

Cependant, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation ci-dessus décrites, et on pourra en prévoir d'autres sans sortir de son cadre.However, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and others may be provided without departing from its scope.
