Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a handle for controlling an electric vehicle door lock.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a handle, particularly but not exclusively for a vehicle luggage compartment door, of the type comprising a supporting body for connection to the vehicle door, and a device, carried by the supporting body, for controlling an electric lock on the door.
- The control device normally comprises a pushbutton switch fitted directly and releasably to the supporting body, and a movable member for activating or switching the pushbutton switch. The movable member is normally defined by an elongated member comprising two or more connecting appendixes which click onto respective appendixes on the supporting body, and which is movable, with respect to the supporting body, to and from a rest position maintained by elastic members interposed between the supporting body and the elongated member and connected directly to the supporting body.
- Though widely used, a major drawback of known handles of the type described above lies in the time and cost involved in replacing or simply repairing the control device. In fact, whenever the need arises, the supporting body must first be removed from the vehicle door, and the various component parts of the control device must be removed separately from the supporting body and eventually fitted back onto the supporting body in reverse order before fitting the supporting body itself back onto the door. Disassembling and reassembling the various parts as described above involves a good deal of time and cost, as well as not a few practical difficulties, so much so that, at times, it is preferable to replace the whole handle rather than disassemble and/or replace the control device.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for controlling an electric vehicle door lock, designed to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a handle for controlling an electric lock of a door of a vehicle, the handle comprising first supporting means for connection to a connecting member on the vehicle; control means for manually activating said electric lock; and second supporting means for supporting said control means; characterized in that said second supporting means are distinct from said first supporting means; releasable connecting means being interposed between said first and second supporting means to releasably connect said first and second supporting means.
- A non-limiting embodiment of the invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a partly exploded view in perspective of a preferred embodiment of the handle for controlling an electric vehicle door lock according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a larger-scale exploded view in perspective of a detail in Figure 1.
-
-
Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates a handle for fitment, in known manner not described in detail, to a vehicle door (neither shown) having an electric lock (not shown).Handle 1 comprises a hollow, flared supportingbody 2 made of plastic material, fitted integrally in known manner to the door, and in turn comprising a supportingfront wall 3 which rests against an outer front surface of the door, and alateral wall 4 which extends partly inside the door through an opening in the door, and has anelongated opening 5. - As shown in Figure 1,
handle 1 also comprises acontrol assembly 6 for manually activating the electric lock, and which is carried bylateral wall 4 and in turn comprises an electric control device 7, and an outer casing 8 fully housing device 7 and fitted releasably to supportingbody 2 by a connectingdevice 9. - As shown in Figure 1, connecting
device 9 comprises an outerannular collar 10, which is integral with and extends perpendicularly tolateral wall 4, and surroundsopening 5 to define a number of connectingportions 12 forming part oflateral wall 4.Collar 10 carries, integrally, two pairs ofappendixes 13, and theappendixes 13 in each pair alternate with connectingportions 12, extend coplanar with each other and parallel to and facingappendixes 13 in the other pair, and have respective throughholes 15 coaxial withholes 15 in the corresponding facingappendixes 13. - Connecting
portions 12,collar 10 and the two pairs ofappendixes 13 define a substantially elongatedrectangular seat 16 partly engaged by casing 8, the orientation of which insideseat 16 is imposed by a projection (not shown) carried by casing 8 and engaging areference seat 17 insidecollar 10. - As shown in Figures 1 and 2, casing 8 is separate from supporting
body 2, is made in one piece from plastic material, and comprises a hollow, substantiallyparallelepipedal body 18 in turn comprising anend wall 19 parallel toappendixes 13 and located contacting one pair ofappendixes 13, and a substantially U-shapedlateral wall 20 having a platelikeintermediate portion 21 substantially parallel tolateral wall 4, and two platelikelateral portions 22 substantially perpendicular tolateral wall 4. The casing also comprises a further, movable,end wall 23 having an intermediate portion hinged tointermediate portion 21 by a pair of elasticallydeformable appendixes 25 integral withbody 18 andend wall 23, and defining a virtual hinge enabling rotation ofend wall 23 between a closed position (Figure 1) and an open position (Figure 2) permitting access to device 7. In the closed position,movable end wall 23 extends parallel to and facingend wall 19, contacts the other pair ofappendixes 13, and defines, together withbody 18, an opening 27 permitting access to casing 8 and located atopening 5.End wall 23 has a pair of locatingseats 28 engaged byrespective projections 29 carried bylateral portions 22, and is retained in the closed position by a pair ofelastic tabs 30 integral withend wall 23 and which click inside respective retainingseats 31 formed onlateral portions 22. - As shown in Figure 1 and particularly in Figure 2,
end walls holes holes 15, and are each engaged by a respectiveremovable pin 34 forming part of connectingdevice 9 to connect casing 8 removably to supportingbody 2. - As shown particularly in Figure 2, casing 8 houses a known
pushbutton switch 35 forming part of control device 7 and connected to the electric lock by acable 36 extending outwards through anopening 37 inintermediate portion 21. In the particular example described,switch 35 is connected toend wall 19 by a pair of projectingpins 38 integral withend wall 19 and parallel topins 34. - As shown in Figure 2, device 7 also comprises an elongated
platelike member 39 which, in use, is moved manually by a user to switch or activateswitch 35.Member 39 is made of plastic material, is located substantially closing opening 27, and is connected to casing 8 so as to move, with respect to casing 8 and in an activating direction substantially perpendicular tointermediate portion 21, between a withdrawn rest position, and a forward activating position to activateswitch 35. More specifically,member 39 comprisesopposite end portions 39a located contactingrespective shoulders 39b formed inside casing 8 and carried by respectivelateral portions 22; and twoteeth 41 located on either side ofswitch 35, adjacent torespective end portions 39a, and extending, parallel to each other and to the activating direction, towardsintermediate portion 21.Member 39 is maintained in the rest position, in whichend portions 39a rest onrespective shoulders 39b, by twoelastic metal blades 40, which form part of device 7, are also located on either side ofswitch 35, project inside casing 8 towardsswitch 35, and each rest on a free end portion ofrespective tooth 41. - More specifically, each
blade 40 comprises twoopposite end portions end portion 40a is L-shaped and connected releasably in known manner to respectivelateral portion 22; andend portion 40b extends facingrespective tooth 41, is substantially S-shaped, and defines arespective seat 42 engaged by the free end portion ofrespective tooth 41. As such,member 39 is also connected elastically tolateral portions 22 in a direction substantially perpendicular to said activating direction. - As shown in Figure 1,
opening 5 is closed in fluidtight manner by an elasticallydeformable seal 43, which comprises an elongatedintermediate portion 45 facingmember 39 and resting directly onmember 39 when activated by the user; and aperipheral portion 46 resting on an outer surface of supportingbody 2.Peripheral portion 46 carries, integrally, a number of elastic connectingappendixes 47 extending inside opening 5, and each terminating with a respective connectingtooth 48 which rests on respective connectingportion 12. - As compared with known solutions,
handle 1 described therefore provides for replacing the whole oflock control assembly 6 extremely quickly, with substantially no difficulty and, hence, relatively cheaply, in the event of repair or replacement of device 7. - In fact, in
handle 1 described,pushbutton switch 35,member 39 for activatingswitch 35, andelastic blades 40 are all housed inside the same casing 8, which is separate from supportingbody 2 fitted to the door, and may be disconnected easily from supportingbody 2 by simply removing a pair ofpins 34. In particular, appropriately designed,pins 34 may, in some cases, be removed without removing supportingbody 2 from the vehicle door, thus saving even more time. - Providing a
control assembly 6 separate from and connected releasably to supportingbody 2 enables the manufacture of modular handles, i.e. having different supporting bodies and the samelock control assembly 6 connected to the various supporting bodies by the same connectingdevice 9. - Finally, using a casing 8 fully housing device 7 provides for fully insulating and so protecting device 7 from external agents.
- Clearly, changes may be made to handle 1 as described herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, casing 8 may be connected to supporting
body 2 otherwise than as described by way of example. More specifically, casing 8 may be connected to supportingbody 2 by releasable click-on connecting devices or by means of sliding, e.g. guide and slide, connections. - Furthermore, casing 8 and/or supporting
body 2 ofhandle 1 described may be formed otherwise than as described, e.g. to adapt to supporting structures different from the door.
