On a illustré sur la figure 1 une poignée 10 destinée à être montée sur un panneau extérieur de carrosserie 12 d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile. La poignée 10 comporte pour l'essentiel un support de poignée 14, qui est destiné à être fixé du côté interne du panneau 12, et un levier de préhension 16 qui est destiné à être agencé du côté externe du panneau 12, tout en étant fixé sur le support 14.Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a handle 10 intended for be mounted on an exterior body panel 12 of a opening of motor vehicle. The handle 10 comprises for essentially a handle support 14, which is intended to be fixed on the internal side of the panel 12, and a gripping lever 16 which is intended to be arranged on the external side of the panel 12, while being fixed on the support 14.

Le levier de préhension 16 se présente sous la forme d'une barre qui s'étend selon une direction longitudinale, horizontale par rapport à une orientation conventionnelle du véhicule automobile, et il est articulé sur le support 14 par son extrémité avant 18, autour d'un axe A1 vertical, c'est-à-dire sensiblement paralléle au plan du panneau de carrosserie 12 et perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale du levier 16.The gripping lever 16 is in the form a bar which extends in a longitudinal direction, horizontal with respect to a conventional orientation of the motor vehicle, and it is articulated on the support 14 by its front end 18, around a vertical axis A1, that is to say substantially parallel to the plane of the body panel 12 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lever 16.

Bien entendu, les notions d'horizontale et de verticale sont utilisées ici dans le but de simplifier la compréhension de la description et ne doivent pas être conçues comme des limitations de la portée de l'invention, notamment quant à l'orientation de la poignée.Of course, the concepts of horizontal and vertical are used here to simplify the understanding of description and should not be construed as limitations of the scope of the invention, in particular as to the orientation of the handle.

Pour son articulation sur le support 14, l'extrémité avant 18 du levier 16 comporte un timon 20 qui s'étend transversalement vers l'intérieur, au travers d'une ouverture avant 22 aménagée dans le panneau 12, et qui coopère avec un élément de charnière du support 14. A son extrémité arrière 24, le levier de préhension 16 comporte un pied arrière de commande 26 qui est destiné à s'étendre transversalement vers l'intérieur au travers d'une ouverture arrière 28 aménagée dans le panneau 12, de manière à pouvoir commander une tringlerie associée à une serrure afin de provoquer l'ouverture de l'ouvrant lorsque l'utilisateur manipule le levier de préhension 16 en écartant celui-ci par rapport au plan du panneau 12.For its articulation on the support 14, the front end 18 of the lever 16 has a drawbar 20 which extends transversely inward, through an opening front 22 arranged in the panel 12, and which cooperates with a hinge element of the support 14. At its rear end 24, the gripping lever 16 has a rear foot of control 26 which is intended to extend transversely inward through a rear opening 28 arranged in panel 12, so that you can order a linkage associated with a lock to cause opening of the sash when the user manipulates the gripping 16 by deviating it from the plane of the panel 12.

Plus particulièrement, on peut voir notamment sur la figure 1 que la tringlerie de commande de la serrure comporte un renvoi 100 qui est articulé sur le support 14 autour d'un axe longitudinal A2. Le renvoi 100 se présente sous la forme d'un élément de plaque qui s'étend dans un plan transversal perpendiculaire à l'axe A2 et qui comporte notamment un segment tubulaire 102 d'axe A2 pour son articulation sur le support 14 et des moyens d'accrochage 104 qui permettent par exemple l'accrochage d'un câble par lequel le renvoi 100 est apte à commander la serrure. Le renvoi 100 est ramené élastiquement d'une position d'ouverture vers une position de repos par un ressort de rappel hélicoïdal à action angulaire 106 qui est monté sur le segment tubulaire 102.More particularly, we can see in particular on the Figure 1 that the lock control linkage includes a reference 100 which is articulated on the support 14 around an axis longitudinal A2. Reference 100 is in the form of a plate element which extends in a transverse plane perpendicular to the A2 axis and which includes in particular a tubular segment 102 of axis A2 for its articulation on the support 14 and hooking means 104 which allow by example the attachment of a cable by which the reference 100 is suitable for controlling the lock. Reference 100 is brought back elastically from an open position to a position of rest by helical return spring with angular action 106 which is mounted on the tubular segment 102.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention qui est illustré, le support de poignée 14 est destiné à être monté sur le panneau de carrosserie selon un montage en baïonnette et la poignée comporte un corps de verrouillage qui est destiné à être engagé transversalement de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur au travers du panneau extérieur de carrosserie de telle sorte qu'un talon de fixation du corps de verrouillage soit fixé sur le support de verrouillage.In the embodiment of the invention which is illustrated, the handle support 14 is intended to be mounted on the body panel in bayonet mounting and the handle has a locking body which is intended to be engaged transversely from outside to inside at across the exterior body panel so a heel for fixing the locking body is fixed to the locking support.

On peut voir sur la figure 1 que le support 14 comporte une surface d'appui avant 30 et une surface d'appui arrière 32 qui sont chacune destinées à venir en appui transversalement vers l'extérieur contre la face interne du panneau de carrosserie. Au niveau de chacune de ces deux surfaces d'appui, le support 14 comporte des pattes d'accrochage 36 qui s'étendent transversalement vers l'extérieur.We can see in Figure 1 that the support 14 has a front bearing surface 30 and a rear bearing surface 32 which are each intended to come into transverse support outwards against the inside of the panel body. At each of these two surfaces support, the support 14 has lugs 36 which extend transversely outwards.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le support 14 comporte deux pattes d'accrochage 36 au niveau de sa surface d'appui avant 30 et deux autres pattes 36 au niveau de sa surface d'appui arrière 32.In the example illustrated, the support 14 comprises two hooking lugs 36 at its front bearing surface 30 and two other legs 36 at its bearing surface rear 32.

Pour assurer le montage du support 14, celui-ci est tout d'abord amené, par un premier mouvement d'approche, transversalement de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur en appui contre la face interne du panneau 12, de telle sorte que les pattes 36 sont engagées au travers des ouvertures 22 et 28 correspondantes.To ensure the mounting of the support 14, it is all first brought, by a first movement of approach, transversely from the inside to the outside pressing against the internal face of the panel 12, so that the legs 36 are engaged through openings 22 and 28 corresponding.

Ensuite, lorsque le support 14 a atteint une position intermédiaire de montage dans laquelle ces deux faces d'appui 30, 32 sont en appui contre la face interne du panneau 12, le support 14 est alors déplacé longitudinalement vers l'avant par simple coulissement le long du panneau de carrosserie 12. Au cours de ce mouvement d'accrochage, les extrémités de chacune des pattes 36 sont destinées à venir s'engager derrière une face externe 42 du panneau de carrosserie 12.Then, when the support 14 has reached a position mounting intermediate in which these two bearing faces 30, 32 are in abutment against the internal face of the panel 12, the support 14 is then moved longitudinally forward by simple sliding along the body panel 12. Au during this hanging movement, the ends of each of the legs 36 are intended to come to engage behind an external face 42 of the body panel 12.

En effet, les ouvertures avant 22 et arrière 28 comportent des bords d'appui 44 qui sont agencés sur la trajectoire des pattes 36 lorsque le support 14 est déplacé longitudinalement vers l'avant depuis une position intermédiaire de montage.Indeed, the front 22 and rear 28 openings have bearing edges 44 which are arranged on the trajectory of the legs 36 when the support 14 is moved longitudinally forward from a position assembly intermediary.

Ainsi, lorsque le support 14 a atteint sa position longitudinale la plus avancée, qui correspond à sa position finale, les pattes 36 empêchent qu'il ne puisse être retiré transversalement vers l'intérieur par rapport au panneau de carrosserie 12.Thus, when the support 14 has reached its position most advanced longitudinal, which corresponds to its position final, tabs 36 prevent it from being removed transversely inward relative to the panel body 12.

Par ailleurs, il est prévu des moyens qui permettent de bloquer automatiquement, au moins de manière provisoire, le support 14 lorsqu'il a atteint sa position finale, de manière à l'empêcher de reculer longitudinalement vers l'arrière au risque de dégager les pattes d'accrochage 36.Furthermore, means are provided which make it possible to automatically block, at least temporarily, the support 14 when it has reached its final position, so that prevent it from rolling backwards longitudinally at the risk to release the hooking lugs 36.

Pour ce faire, on peut voir que le support 14 comporte, à l'arrière de sa surface d'appui avant 30, et plus exactement en arrière de chacune des pattes 36 portées par cette dernière, deux bras élastiques 48 qui s'étendent sensiblement longitudinalement, qui sont liés au support 14 par leur extrémité avant, et dont l'extrémité arrière s'étend transversalement vers l'extérieur par rapport au plan de la surface d'appui 30 lorsqu'ils sont à l'état libre tels qu'illustrés sur la figure 1.To do this, we can see that the support 14 includes, at the rear of its front bearing surface 30, and more exactly behind each of the legs 36 carried by this last, two elastic arms 48 which extend substantially longitudinally, which are linked to the support 14 by their front end, and the rear end of which extends transversely outward from the surface plane support 30 when they are in the free state as illustrated on the figure 1.

Les bras élastiques 48, qui sont réalisés venus de matière avec le support, sont susceptibles d'être sollicités transversalement vers l'intérieur de manière à ne plus dépasser transversalement vers l'extérieur par rapport au plan de cette surface. Cela est le cas lorsque l'on amène le support 14 en appui contre la face interne du panneau 12.The elastic arms 48, which are produced from material with the support, are likely to be requested transversely inward so that it no longer protrude transversely outward from the plane of this surface. This is the case when bringing the support 14 rests against the internal face of the panel 12.

Toutefois, lorsque le support 14 atteint sa position finale, les bras élastiques 48 se trouvent en regard de l'ouverture avant 22 de sorte qu'ils peuvent reprendre leur position libre. Leur extrémité arrière se retrouve alors longitudinalement juste en avant d'un bord arrière 52 de l'ouverture 22. De la sorte, s'étendant transversalement vers l'extérieur d'une distance sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur du panneau de carrosserie, les extrémités arrière de chacun des bras 48 se retrouvent alors en appui selon la direction longitudinale, dans le plan du panneau de carrosserie 12, contre le bord arrière 52 de l'ouverture avant 22 qui forme une encoche de verrouillage, empêchant ainsi le recul du support 14.However, when the support 14 reaches its position final, the elastic arms 48 are located opposite opening before 22 so they can resume their free position. Their rear end is then found longitudinally just in front of a rear edge 52 of the opening 22. In this way, extending transversely outwards a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the panel bodywork, the rear ends of each of the arms 48 then find themselves in support in the longitudinal direction, in the plane of the body panel 12, against the edge rear 52 of the front opening 22 which forms a notch locking, thus preventing the recoil of the support 14.

Comme cela sera décrit en référence aux figures 7 à 13, la poignée selon l'invention comporte des moyens de verrouillage complémentaires, dont l'action s'ajoute à celle des bras élastiques 48 qui, dans ce cas, servent essentiellement à assurer un préverrouillage du support de poignée 14.As will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 13, the handle according to the invention comprises means for complementary locking, whose action is added to that of elastic arms 48 which, in this case, serve essentially to pre-lock the handle support 14.

Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur les figures 3 et 5, le timon 20 du levier de préhension présente un premier tronçon qui s'étend transversalement vers l'intérieur depuis l'extrémité avant 18 du levier 16, et qui est prolongé longitudinalement vers l'avant par un second tronçon dans lequel est formé une gorge 108 qui débouche longitudinalement vers l'avant. La gorge 108 est destinée à recevoir, lorsque le levier 16 est en position finale, une tige verticale 110 d'axe A1 formée venue de matière avec le support 14.As can be seen more particularly on the Figures 3 and 5, the drawbar 20 of the gripping lever has a first section which extends transversely inwards from the front end 18 of the lever 16, and which is extended longitudinally forward by a second section in which is formed a groove 108 which opens longitudinally forward. The groove 108 is intended for receive, when the lever 16 is in the final position, a rod vertical 110 of axis A1 formed integrally with the support 14.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 5, la tige 110 présente en section une forme de losange à coins arrondis afin d'être plus aisément réalisable par moulage. Toutefois, les formes de la gorge 108 et de la tige 110 sont prévues pour que, une fois la tige 110 engagée dans la gorge 108, elles forment une articulation analogue à un pivot d'axe A1 entre le levier 16 et le support 14. Ainsi que cela est plus particulièrement visible sur les figures 2 et 4, la tige 110 s'étend verticalement entre deux éléments de plaque 112, 114 perpendiculaires à l'axe A1 à l'extrémité avant du support 14. De la sorte, le timon 20, lorsqu'il est engagé autour de la tige 110, est guidé verticalement entre les deux plaques 112, 114, avec un jeu très faible. On remarque par ailleurs que le timon 20 comporte une excroissance transversale 116 qui est elle aussi reçue entre les deux plaques 112, 114, ceci afin d'améliorer la qualité du guidage en rotation de l'extrémité avant 18 du levier 16 autour de l'axe A1.As can be seen in Figures 3 and 5, the rod 110 presents in section a diamond shape with rounded corners so to be more easily achievable by molding. However, shapes of the groove 108 and the rod 110 are provided for that, once the rod 110 engaged in the groove 108, they form a joint similar to a pivot with axis A1 between the lever 16 and support 14. As is more particularly visible in Figures 2 and 4, the rod 110 extends vertically between two plate elements 112, 114 perpendicular to the axis A1 at the front end of the support 14. In this way, the drawbar 20, when it is engaged around the rod 110, is guided vertically between the two plates 112, 114, with very little play. We also note that the drawbar 20 has a transverse projection 116 which is also received between the two plates 112, 114, this in order improve the quality of the end rotational guidance front 18 of lever 16 around axis A1.

Par ailleurs, on peut voir sur la figure 3 que le pied arrière 26 du levier 16 comporte, au niveau de son extrémité transversale interne, un doigt de liaison 118 qui s'étend longitudinalement vers l'avant. Le doigt de liaison 118 est sensiblement cylindrique, mais son extrémité libre est taillée en biseau, selon une direction inclinée par rapport aux directions transversale et longitudinale. L'extrémité libre biseautée 120 du doigt de liaison 118 présente par ailleurs un décrochement transversal 122 qui est agencé du côté transversal externe du doigt de liaison 118. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3, le levier de préhension 16 est destiné à être tout d'abord engagé selon une direction sensiblement transversale, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, jusqu'à une position intermédiaire de montage dans laquelle il est reculé en arrière de sa position finale. Au cours du mouvement d'approche, le timon 20 est engagé au travers de l'orifice avant 22 et le pied arrière 26 est engagé au travers de l'orifice arrière 28. Éventuellement, le mouvement d'approche peut être un mouvement louvoyant.Furthermore, it can be seen in FIG. 3 that the foot rear 26 of lever 16 comprises, at its end internal transverse, a connecting finger 118 which extends longitudinally forward. The connecting finger 118 is substantially cylindrical, but its free end is cut beveled, in a direction inclined to the transverse and longitudinal directions. The free end bevelled 120 of the connecting finger 118 also has a transverse recess 122 which is arranged on the side transverse external of the connecting finger 118. As can be see in Figures 2 and 3, the gripping lever 16 is intended to be first hired under a direction substantially transverse, from outside to inside, to an intermediate mounting position in which it is moved back from its final position. During the approach movement, the drawbar 20 is engaged through the front hole 22 and the rear leg 26 is engaged through the rear opening 28. Optionally, the approach movement can be a wiggling movement.

Toutefois, en position intermédiaire de montage, l'orientation angulaire du levier 16 autour de l'axe A1 est sensiblement la même que celle qu'il occupe en position de repos. Sur la figure, on peut voir que l'élément de plaque du renvoi 100 présente un bord interne 124 qui, le renvoi 100 étant en position de repos, s'étend juste en avant du pan biseauté 120 du doigt de liaison 118 du levier 16.However, in the intermediate mounting position, the angular orientation of the lever 16 around the axis A1 is substantially the same as that which it occupies in position of rest. In the figure, we can see that the plate element of the gear 100 has an internal edge 124 which, gear 100 being in the rest position, extends just in front of the pan beveled 120 of the connecting finger 118 of the lever 16.

Selon l'invention, l'opération de montage de la poignée prévoit alors d'amener le levier 16 longitudinalement vers l'avant jusqu'à une position finale illustrée aux figures 4 et 5.According to the invention, the operation of mounting the handle then plans to bring the lever 16 longitudinally towards the front to a final position illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.

Au cours de ce mouvement de translation, le timon avant 20 se déplace vers l'avant de telle sorte que la tige 110 du support 14 soit reçue au fond de la gorge 108.During this translational movement, the drawbar forward 20 moves forward so that the rod 110 of the support 14 is received at the bottom of the groove 108.

Dans le même temps, l'extrémité libre biseautée 120 du doigt de liaison 118 du pied arrière 26 vient en appui longitudinalement vers l'avant contre le bord interne 124 du renvoi 100. De par sa forme biseautée, le doigt de liaison 118 oblige ainsi le renvoi 100 à pivoter à l'encontre de ses moyens de rappel élastique 106, le renvoi 100 étant alors repoussé transversalement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à ce que le bord 124 ait franchi le décrochement transversal 122 du doigt 18, le ressort 106 continuant alors de solliciter le renvoi 100 en appui par son bord interne 124 contre le doigt cylindrique 118. Le décrochement transversal 122 de ce dernier ayant franchi le bord 124 du renvoi 100, le levier 16 ne peut plus être alors retiré longitudinalement vers l'arrière vers sa position intermédiaire.At the same time, the bevelled free end 120 of the connecting finger 118 of the rear leg 26 comes to bear longitudinally forward against the internal edge 124 of the return 100. Due to its bevelled shape, the connecting finger 118 requires thus the reference 100 to pivot against its means of elastic return 106, the reference 100 then being pushed back transversely outward until edge 124 has crossed the transverse step 122 of the finger 18, the spring 106 then continuing to request forwarding 100 by pressing its internal edge 124 against the cylindrical finger 118. The transverse offset 122 of the latter having crossed the edge 124 of the reference 100, the lever 16 can no longer be pulled back longitudinally back to its position intermediate.

Toutefois, pour rendre plus sûre la fixation de ses différents éléments, la poignée comporte un corps de verrouillage 56 présentant une partie externe 58 et un talon de fixation 60 qui s'étend transversalement vers l'intérieur pour être reçu au travers de l'ouverture arrière 28 du panneau extérieur 12 de carrosserie de l'ouvrant et pour être guidé en coulissement selon la direction transversale dans une cavité complémentaire 62 aménagée dans l'extrémité arrière du support de poignée 14 ainsi que cela est particulièrement visible sur la figure 12.However, to make it safer to fix your different elements, the handle has a body of lock 56 having an external part 58 and a heel of attachment 60 which extends transversely inward to be received through the rear opening 28 of the panel exterior 12 of bodywork of the opening and to be guided in sliding in the transverse direction in a cavity complementary 62 fitted in the rear end of the handle holder 14 as well as this is particularly visible in figure 12.

La partie externe 58 présente une face d'appui 63 tournée en regard de la face externe 42 du panneau 12.The external part 58 has a bearing face 63 turned opposite the external face 42 of the panel 12.

Lorsque le support 14 et le levier 16 sont en position finale de montage, le talon 60 du corps de verrouillage 56 est engagé transversalement vers l'intérieur dans la cavité 62 du support 14, depuis l'extérieur de l'ouvrant, de telle sorte que le corps de verrouillage 56 se trouve alors immobilisé par rapport au support 14 dans toutes directions sauf la direction transversale. Or, dans le même temps, on peut voir sur la figure 12 qu'une face latérale arrière 64 est alors en appui longitudinalement vers l'arrière contre un bord arrière 66 de l'ouverture arrière 28. Aussi, le corps de verrouillage 56 empêche toute retrait longitudinal vers l'arrière du support 14 par rapport au panneau extérieur 12, ce qui élimine tout risque de démontage du support 14 au cas où les bras élastiques 48 viendraient à se rompre.When the support 14 and the lever 16 are in position final assembly, the heel 60 of the locking body 56 is engaged transversely inward in the cavity 62 of the support 14, from the outside of the opening, so that the locking body 56 is then immobilized relative to to support 14 in all directions except direction cross. At the same time, we can see on the Figure 12 that a rear side face 64 is then supported longitudinally backwards against a rear edge 66 of the rear opening 28. Also, the locking body 56 prevents any longitudinal withdrawal towards the rear of the support 14 relative to the outer panel 12, which eliminates any risk for removing the support 14 in the event that the elastic arms 48 would break.

Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur la figure 6, la partie externe 58 du corps de verrouillage 56 présente une surface latérale 126 en arc de cylindre d'axe A1 qui est aménagée en creux dans une face avant 128 de la partie externe 58. La surface latérale en arc de cylindre 126 forme donc le fond d'une gorge taillée dans la face avant 126.As we can see more particularly on the Figure 6, the outer part 58 of the locking body 56 has a lateral surface 126 in arc of cylinder of axis A1 which is recessed in a front face 128 of the external part 58. The lateral surface in the shape of a cylinder arc 126 therefore forms the bottom of a groove cut in the front face 126.

Par ailleurs, le pied arrière 26 du levier 16 présente une face latérale arrière 130 qui est elle aussi en arc de cylindre d'axe A1. Selon un aspect de l'invention, lorsque la poignée 10 est entièrement montée, la face arrière 130 du pied arrière 26 est agencée juste en regard de la surface latérale avant 126 en arc de cylindre du corps de verrouillage 56, et le pied arrière 26 est au moins en partie reçu dans la gorge formée par cette surface avant 126 dans la face avant 128. De la sorte, étant agencées longitudinalement juste en regard et étant séparées par un jeu très faible, les deux surfaces latérales 126, 130 empêchent tout mouvement longitudinal relatif entre le levier 16 et le corps de verrouillage 56. Ainsi, le corps de verrouillage 56 assure une fixation complémentaire du levier 16, ce dernier ne pouvant plus en aucun cas se dégager vers l'arrière.Furthermore, the rear leg 26 of the lever 16 has a rear side face 130 which is also in the form of a cylinder arc of axis A1. According to one aspect of the invention, when the handle 10 is fully assembled, the rear face 130 of the rear leg 26 is arranged just opposite the front side surface 126 in arc of cylinder of the locking body 56, and the foot rear 26 is at least partly received in the groove formed by this front surface 126 in the front face 128. From the so, being arranged longitudinally just opposite and being separated by very little play, the two surfaces side 126, 130 prevent longitudinal movement relative between the lever 16 and the locking body 56. Thus, the locking body 56 provides additional fixing lever 16, the latter can no longer in any case clear backwards.

Par ailleurs, le pied arrière 26 étant reçu dans la gorge, il est également guidé dans la gorge selon la direction verticale parallèle à la direction de l'axe A1 d'articulation du levier 16, ce qui améliore encore la qualité du guidage en rotation de ce dernier.Furthermore, the rear foot 26 being received in the groove, it is also guided in the throat according to the direction vertical parallel to the direction of the axis of articulation A1 of the lever 16, which further improves the quality of the guide in rotation of the latter.

De plus, on peut voir sur les figures que le pied arrière 26 comporte, à son extrémité transversale interne, des butées 132 qui, lorsque le levier 16 est en position finale de montage, viennent en appui contre des surfaces d'appui complémentaires 134 formées sur le support 14 pour déterminer la position d'ouverture du levier 16, et donc sa course maximale autour de l'axe A1.In addition, we can see in the figures that the rear foot 26 has, at its internal transverse end, stops 132 which, when the lever 16 is in the final mounting position, come to rest against bearing surfaces 134 additional formed on the support 14 for determine the opening position of the lever 16, and therefore its maximum stroke around axis A1.

Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, pour assurer la fixation du corps de verrouillage 56 dans la cavité 62 du support 14, la poignée 10 comporte un étrier 68 qui est monté à coulissement longitudinal dans la partie arrière du support 14. L'étrier 68 comporte pour l'essentiel deux branches longitudinales 70 réunies à leur extrémité arrière par une base 72 de telle sorte que, dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction transversale, l'étrier 68 présente sensiblement la forme d'un U ouvert vers l'avant.In accordance with the teachings of the invention, for securing the locking body 56 in the cavity 62 of the support 14, the handle 10 comprises a stirrup 68 which is mounted with longitudinal slide in the rear part of the support 14. The stirrup 68 essentially comprises two branches longitudinal 70 joined at their rear end by a base 72 so that in a plane perpendicular to the transverse direction, the stirrup 68 has substantially the U-shaped open towards the front.

A leur extrémité avant, les branches 70 sont munies chacune d'un ergot 78, chaque ergot 78 s'étendant sensiblement en direction de la branche opposée. Comme cela sera vu par la suite, les ergots 78 sont destinés à être reçus dans des logements complémentaires 80 aménagés dans le talon 60.At their front end, the branches 70 are provided each of a lug 78, each lug 78 extending substantially in the direction of the opposite branch. Like this will be seen later, the lugs 78 are intended to be received in additional accommodation 80 fitted out in the heel 60.

L'étrier 68 est destiné à être engagé dans une glissière 74 du support 14 qui débouche longitudinalement à l'arrière. Le guidage précis de l'étrier 68 est assuré notamment par des rails 76 aménagés sur les faces externes des branches 70 du corps de verrouillage 56.The bracket 68 is intended to be engaged in a slide 74 of the support 14 which opens longitudinally at the rear. The precise guidance of the stirrup 68 is ensured in particular by rails 76 arranged on the external faces of the branches 70 of the locking body 56.

Avant le montage du support 14 sur l'ouvrant, l'étrier 68 est engagée longitudinalement d'arrière en avant dans la glissière 74 jusqu'à une position avancée de déblocage dans laquelle les branches 72 s'étendent de part et d'autre de la cavité 62, les ergots 78 étant agencés en avant de la cavité de manière que l'étrier 68 ne puisse empêcher l'introduction du talon 60 du corps de verrouillage 56 dans la cavité 62.Before mounting the support 14 on the opening, the bracket 68 is engaged longitudinally from back to front in the slide 74 to an advanced unlocking position in which branches 72 extend on either side of the cavity 62, the pins 78 being arranged in front of the cavity of so that stirrup 68 cannot prevent the introduction of the heel 60 of the locking body 56 in the cavity 62.

On notera sur les figures 7 à 9 que le support 14 comporte une lame élastique 82 qui retient l'étrier 68 longitudinalement dans sa position avancée de déblocage pour éviter que celui-ci ne puisse s'échapper de la glissière 74 sous l'effet de son seul poids.It will be noted in FIGS. 7 to 9 that the support 14 comprises an elastic blade 82 which retains the stirrup 68 longitudinally in its advanced release position for prevent it from escaping from the slide 74 under the effect of its weight alone.

Lorsque le talon 60 du corps de verrouillage 56 est engagé dans la cavité 62, on peut voir sur les figures 9 et 10 qu'il est reçu entre les deux branches 70 de l'étrier 68. Une fois le corps de verrouillage 56 en place, les logements 80 aménagés dans son talon 60 se trouvent longitudinalement en regard des ergots 78 de l'étrier 68.When the heel 60 of the locking body 56 is engaged in the cavity 62, we can see in Figures 9 and 10 that it is received between the two branches 70 of the stirrup 68. A once the locking body 56 is in place, the housings 80 arranged in its heel 60 are longitudinally in look of the lugs 78 of the stirrup 68.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'étrier 68 est pourvu de moyens de commande qui permettent de le faire reculer longitudinalement jusqu'à une position reculée de blocage dans laquelle les ergots 78 sont reçus dans les logements 80, ce qui assure le blocage transversal du corps de verrouillage 56 par rapport au support 14, et donc son immobilisation complète.According to one aspect of the invention, the stirrup 68 is provided with control means which allow it to be rolled back longitudinally to a retracted blocking position in which the pins 78 are received in the housings 80, which ensures the transverse blocking of the locking body 56 relative to the support 14, and therefore its immobilization complete.

A cet effet, il est prévu une tige filetée 84 d'axe longitudinal qui est vissée au travers de la base 72 de l'étrier. Son extrémité arrière, qui s'étend en arrière de la base 72, comporte une empreinte hexagonale axiale en creux 86 qui permet de la manoeuvrer à l'aide d'un outil de type "clé six pans". A son extrémité avant, la tige filetée 84 comporte une coupelle d'appui 88 qui est destinée à prendre appui axialement vers l'avant sur la surface latérale arrière 64 du talon 60 du corps de verrouillage 56. Éventuellement, l'extrémité avant de la tige 84 peut elle aussi être pourvue d'une empreinte en creux pour faciliter le montage de la tige 84 sur l'étrier 68, ce qui est effectué avant l'introduction de l'étrier 68 dans la glissière 74, et donc avant le montage du support 14 sur l'ouvrant.For this purpose, a threaded rod 84 with an axis is provided. longitudinal which is screwed through the base 72 of the stirrup. Its rear end, which extends behind the base 72, has a hollow axial hexagonal imprint 86 which allows you to operate it using a tool like "wrench six sides ". At its front end, the threaded rod 84 has a support cup 88 which is intended to take support axially forward on the rear side surface 64 of the heel 60 of the locking body 56. Optionally, the front end of the rod 84 can also be provided a hollow imprint to facilitate mounting of the rod 84 on stirrup 68, which is done before the introduction of the bracket 68 in the slide 74, and therefore before mounting the support 14 on the opening.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 10 et 11, on peut ainsi, en manoeuvrant la tige filetée 84 dans le sens convenable, faire reculer longitudinalement l'étrier 68 par rapport au corps de verrouillage 56, qui est fixe selon cette direction, jusqu'à amener les ergots 78 dans les logements 80.As can be seen in Figures 10 and 11, we can thus, by maneuvering the threaded rod 84 in the direction suitable, roll back the stirrup 68 longitudinally by relative to the locking body 56, which is fixed according to this direction, until bringing the lugs 78 into the housings 80.

Avantageusement, les ergots 78 et les logements 80 sont pourvus de pans inclinés complémentaires 90, 92 qui, lorsque l'étrier est amené vers sa position reculée de blocage, coopèrent de telle sorte qu'ils provoquent un déplacement du corps de verrouillage 56 transversalement vers l'intérieur, ce qui permet d'assurer un serrage de la face d'appui 63 du corps 56 contre la face externe 42 du panneau extérieur 12. Avantageusement, un joint d'étanchéité 94 sera agencé entre la face d'appui 63 et le panneau 12.Advantageously, the pins 78 and the housings 80 are provided with complementary inclined faces 90, 92 which, when the stirrup is brought to its retracted blocking position, cooperate in such a way that they cause displacement of the locking body 56 transversely inward, this which ensures a clamping of the bearing face 63 of the body 56 against the external face 42 of the external panel 12. Advantageously, a seal 94 will be arranged between the bearing face 63 and the panel 12.

La conception du blocage du corps de verrouillage 56 est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle permet un montage et démontage aisé du corps de verrouillage sur le support 14, mais dans le cas où ce dernier n'est pas accessible.The design of the blocking of the locking body 56 is particularly advantageous in that it allows a easy assembly and disassembly of the locking body on the support 14, but if the latter is not accessible.

En effet, le support de poignée 14 est généralement fixé dans un espace interne de l'ouvrant qui est délimité par le panneau extérieur 12, par un panneau intérieur parallèle au panneau extérieur, et par au moins panneau de chant 96 qui s' étend transversalement pour relier les panneaux intérieur et extérieur 12. Le panneau intérieur est par exemple constitué par un garnissage de contre-porte. Plus particulièrement, comme cela est illustré sur les figures 7 à 9, le support 14 est généralement agencé à une extrémité arrière de l'ouvrant, à proximité d'un panneau de chant vertical 96.Indeed, the handle support 14 is generally fixed in an internal space of the opening which is delimited by the outer panel 12, by an inner panel parallel to the exterior panel, and by at least edge panel 96 which extends transversely to connect the interior panels and exterior 12. The interior panel is for example constituted by a door lining. More specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9, the support 14 is generally arranged at a rear end of the opening, with near a vertical edge panel 96.

Grâce à l'invention, il suffit donc de prévoir dans le panneau de chant 96, en regard de l'extrémité arrière de la tige filetée 84, un perçage 98 pour le passage d'un outil complémentaire de l'empreinte 86. Ainsi, le blocage ou le déblocage du corps de verrouillage 56 peut se faire sans avoir accès à l'espace interne du panneau, juste en engageant l'outil au travers du perçage 98 pour manoeuvrer la tige filetée 84.Thanks to the invention, it is therefore sufficient to provide in the edge panel 96, facing the rear end of the threaded rod 84, a hole 98 for the passage of a tool complementary to fingerprint 86. Thus, blocking or unlocking of the locking body 56 can be done without having access to the internal space of the panel, just by engaging the tool through the hole 98 to operate the threaded rod 84.

Notamment, pour des réparations qui ne nécessitent que la dépose des parties externes de la poignée, par exemple pour repeindre le panneau de carrosserie, il n'y aura pas besoin de déposer le panneau intérieur de l'ouvrant, ceci tout en évitant d'agencer les moyens de fixation à l'extérieur de l'ouvrant. Ce démontage peut se faire "en aveugle", sans qu'il n'y ait non plus de risque de perdre la tige filetée 84 qui, par conception ne peut être dévissée hors de l'étrier 68 du fait de la présence de l'excroissance radiale formée par la coupelle d'appui 88.In particular, for repairs that do not require that removing the external parts of the handle, for example to repaint the body panel, there will be no need to remove the inner panel of the sash, this all avoiding arranging the fixing means outside of opening. This disassembly can be done "blind", without it there is also no risk of losing the threaded rod 84 which, by design cannot be unscrewed from the bracket 68 due to the presence of the radial protrusion formed by the cup support 88.

De plus, le corps de verrouillage 56 peut aussi former un carter destiné à recevoir un verrou de condamnation de la serrure de l'ouvrant.In addition, the locking body 56 can also form a housing intended to receive a lock for locking the opening lock.
