Lock expels bolt (28) into recess (26) in frame (12S). Bolt is chamfered to ease entry and final sealing. Relative positions of two locks can be reversed.

Description

La présente invention concerne une porte de véhicule automobile sans montant séparant les portes latérales avant et arrière et un véhicule automobile muni de cette porte.The present invention relates to a door of a motor vehicle without amount separating the front and rear side doors and a motor vehicle fitted with this door.

On connaít déjà dans l'état de la technique un véhicule automobile du type comprenant deux portes latérales disposées l'une derrière l'autre sur un même coté du véhicule, de manière que le bord arrière de l'ouvrant de la porte avant soit jointif avec le bord avant de l'ouvrant de la porte arrière lorsque ces deux ouvrants sont en position fermée. L'ouvrant de la porte avant est généralement articulé sur le dormant par son bord avant, de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical entre ses positons fermée et ouverte. L'ouvrant de la porte arrière est généralement coulissant de façon à pouvoir être déplacé sensiblement longitudinalement entre ses positions fermée et ouverte.We already know in the prior art a motor vehicle of the type comprising two side doors arranged one behind the other on the same side of the vehicle, so that the rear edge of the front door leaf is joined to the front edge of the rear door leaf when these two leaves are in position closed. The opening of the front door is generally hinged on the frame by its edge front, so that it can pivot around a substantially vertical axis between its positrons closed and open. The opening of the rear door is generally sliding so that be able to be moved substantially longitudinally between its closed positions and opened.

Les véhicules automobiles du type précité ne comportent donc pas de montant séparant les portes latérales avant et arrière, si bien que lorsque les ouvrants de ces deux portes sont ouverts ils dégagent une vaste ouverture d'accès à l'habitacle.Motor vehicles of the aforementioned type therefore have no amount separating the front and rear side doors, so that when the opening of these two doors are open they open up a large access to the passenger compartment.

Les portes latérales équipant ce type de véhicule automobile sont munies de moyens de verrouillages adaptés à l'absence de montant séparant les portes latérales avant et arrière. Ainsi, on a proposé dans l'état de la technique, notamment dans FR-A- 2 513 298, une porte adaptée à ce type de véhicule automobile, comprenant un dormant et un ouvrant déplaçable entre des positions ouverte et fermée, des premiers moyens complémentaires de verrouillage de l'ouvrant en position fermée, comportant une première gâche et un premier pêne portés par des parties complémentaires inférieures (respectivement supérieures) du dormant et de l'ouvrant, et des seconds moyens complémentaires de verrouillage en position fermée comportant une seconde gâche et un second pêne portés par des parties complémentaires supérieures (respectivement inférieures) du dormant et de l'ouvrant.The side doors fitted to this type of motor vehicle are provided with means locks adapted to the absence of an upright separating the front side doors and back. Thus, it has been proposed in the state of the art, in particular in FR-A-2,513,298, a door adapted to this type of motor vehicle, comprising a frame and an opening movable between open and closed positions, first complementary means for locking the sash in the closed position, comprising a first keeper and a first bolt carried by lower complementary parts (respectively upper) of the frame and the opening, and second complementary means of locking in the closed position comprising a second strike and a second bolt carried by complementary upper (respectively lower) parts of the frame and opening.

Les premiers et seconds moyens de verrouillage décrits dans FR-A- 2 513 298 sont actionnés par des moyens mécaniques. Or, les moyens de verrouillage commandés par des moyens mécaniques sont relativement encombrants et donc difficiles à agencer dans les parties complémentaires supérieures du dormant et de l'ouvrant qui sont généralement exiguës.The first and second locking means described in FR-A- 2,513,298 are actuated by mechanical means. However, the locking means controlled by mechanical means are relatively bulky and therefore difficult to arrange in upper complementary parts of the frame and the opening which are generally cramped.

L'invention a pour but de proposer une porte du type décrit dans le document précité, munie de moyens complémentaires de verrouillage disposés dans les parties complémentaires supérieures du dormant et de l'ouvrant peu encombrants, ceci en garantissant un verrouillage de la porte sûr et efficace.The object of the invention is to propose a door of the type described in the document. aforementioned, provided with additional locking means arranged in the parts space-saving upper frame and sash ensuring a safe and effective door lock.

L'invention a également pour objet un véhicule automobile muni d'une porte telle que définie ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle provided with a door such as defined above.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels les figures 1 à 3 sont des vues schématiques en coupe verticale d'une porte selon l'invention illustrant, respectivement, des positions d'ouverture, de fermeture intermédiaire et de fermeture complète de l'ouvrant.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows given by way of example only and made with reference to the drawings in which Figures 1 in 3 are schematic views in vertical section of a door according to the invention illustrating, open, intermediate close and close positions, respectively complete opening.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 une porte latérale de véhicule automobile, désignée par la référence générale 10. Cette porte 10 comprend un dormant 12 et un ouvrant 14 déplaçable entre une position ouverte, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, et une position fermée, telle que représentée sur la figure 3. De façon classique, l'ouvrant 14 est articulé sur le dormant 12 autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical et pivote autour de cette axe entre ses positions ouverte et fermée.FIGS. 1 to 3 show a side door of a motor vehicle, designated by the general reference 10. This door 10 comprises a frame 12 and a opening 14 movable between an open position, as shown in FIG. 1, and a closed position, as shown in FIG. 3. Conventionally, the opening 14 is articulated on the frame 12 around a substantially vertical axis and pivots around this axis between its open and closed positions.

Le dormant 12 et l'ouvrant 14 comportent des parties complémentaires inférieures 12I, 14I et des parties complémentaires supérieures 12S, 14S destinées à s'emboíter les unes dans les autres lorsque l'ouvrant 14 est en position fermée, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3.The frame 12 and the opening 14 have lower complementary parts 12I, 14I and upper complementary parts 12S, 14S intended to fit together in each other when the door 14 is in the closed position, as shown in figure 3.

La partie supérieure du dormant 12 est délimitée, par exemple, par un caisson formant une bordure sensiblement longitudinale de pavillon du véhicule. La partie inférieure du dormant 12 est délimitée, par exemple, par un caisson sensiblement longitudinal de bas de caisse du véhicule.The upper part of the frame 12 is delimited, for example, by a box forming a substantially longitudinal edge of the vehicle roof. The part bottom of the frame 12 is delimited, for example, by a box substantially longitudinal sill of the vehicle.

La porte 10 comprend des premiers et seconds moyens complémentaires 16, 18 de verrouillage de l'ouvrant 14 en position fermée.The door 10 comprises first and second complementary means 16, 18 of locking of the leaf 14 in the closed position.

Les premiers moyens de verrouillage 16, de type classique, sont portés par les parties complémentaires inférieures 12I, 14I du dormant 12 et de l'ouvrant 14. Ces premiers moyens de verrouillage 16 sont de préférence du type à deux crans de verrouillage tel que décrit par exemple dans FR-A- 2 439 284, et comprennent une première gâche 20 en forme de broche et un premier pêne 22 en forme de crochet. La première gâche 20 est solidaire de la partie inférieure 121 du dormant. Le premier pêne 22 est monté articulé de façon connue en soi dans un boítier 24 porté par la partie inférieure 14I de l'ouvrant 14, de façon à être déplaçable entre des positions d'accrochage sur la première gâche 20, telles que représentées sur les figures 2 et 3, et une position de dégagement par rapport à cette première gâche 20, telle que représentée sur la figure 1.The first locking means 16, of conventional type, are carried by the lower complementary parts 12I, 14I of the frame 12 and the opening 14. These first locking means 16 are preferably of the type with two notches lock as described for example in FR-A- 2 439 284, and include a first keeper 20 in the form of a pin and a first bolt 22 in the form of a hook. The first keeper 20 is secured to the lower part 121 of the frame. The first bolt 22 is mounted articulated in a manner known per se in a housing 24 carried by the lower part 14I of the opening 14, so as to be movable between hooking positions on the first keeper 20, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, and a position of clearance relative to this first keeper 20, as shown in FIG. 1.

Les premiers moyens de verrouillages 16 sont actionnés par des moyens mécaniques classiques, tels que décrits par exemple dans FR-A- 2 439 284. En particulier, le premier pêne 22 est déplacé de sa position de dégagement, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, vers l'une ou l'autre de ses positions d'accrochage telles que représentées sur les figures 2 et 3, par coopération avec la première gâche 20.The first locking means 16 are actuated by means conventional mechanical, as described for example in FR-A- 2 439 284. In particular, the first bolt 22 is moved from its release position, as shown in the Figure 1, towards one or other of its hooking positions as shown on the Figures 2 and 3, by cooperation with the first keeper 20.

Les seconds moyens de verrouillages 18 comprennent une seconde gâche 26, ménagée dans la partie supérieure 12S du dormant, et un second pêne 28 porté par la partie supérieure 14S de l'ouvrant.The second locking means 18 comprise a second keeper 26, formed in the upper part 12S of the frame, and a second bolt 28 carried by the upper part 14S of the opening.

Les seconds moyens de verrouillages 18 sont actionnés par des moyens électriques classiques comprenant des moyens électriques 30 de déplacement en translation du second pêne 28 entre une position saillante de coopération avec la seconde gâche 26, telle que représentée sur la figure 3, et une position escamotée dans l'ouvrant 14 de dégagement par rapport à cette seconde gâche 26, telle que représentée sur la figure 1.The second locking means 18 are actuated by electrical means conventional comprising electrical means 30 for translational movement of the second bolt 28 between a projecting position of cooperation with the second keeper 26, such as shown in Figure 3, and a retracted position in the opening 14 of clearance relative to this second keeper 26, as shown in FIG. 1.

Les moyens de déplacement 30 sont reliés électriquement à un bouton de commande 32 porté par le dormant 12, de préférence par la partie inférieure 12I de ce dormant qui porte aussi la première gâche 20. Ce bouton 32 est actionné par l'ouvrant 14 lorsque ce dernier atteint sa position fermée, telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 3, de façon à commander le déplacement du second pêne 28 de sa position escamotée vers sa position saillante telle qu'illustrée sur cette figure 3.The displacement means 30 are electrically connected to a button control 32 carried by the frame 12, preferably by the lower part 12I of this frame which also carries the first keeper 20. This button 32 is actuated by the leaf 14 when the latter reaches its closed position, as illustrated in FIG. 3, so that control the movement of the second bolt 28 from its retracted position to its position protruding as illustrated in this figure 3.

On notera que la seconde gâche 26 et le second pêne 28 sont munis respectivement de rampes complémentaires 26R, 28R destinées à coopérer entre elles de façon à solliciter l'ouvrant 14 vers sa position fermée.It will be noted that the second strike 26 and the second bolt 28 are provided respectively complementary ramps 26R, 28R intended to cooperate with one another so as to stress opening it 14 to its closed position.

On décrira ci-dessous les particularités du fonctionnement de la porte 10 propres à l'invention.The particulars of the operation of the door 10 specific to will be described below. the invention.

Initialement, l'ouvrant 14 est dans la position ouverte telle que représentée sur la figure 1. La seconde gâche 28 est en position escamotée dans l'ouvrant 14.Initially, the opening 14 is in the open position as shown in the Figure 1. The second keeper 28 is in the retracted position in the opening 14.

Pour fermer l'ouvrant 14, on le fait pivoter vers le dormant 12 de façon à placer cet ouvrant 14 dans ses positions successives de fermeture intermédiaire, telle que représentée sur la figure 2, et de fermeture complète, telle que représentée sur la figure 3. To close the opening 14, it is pivoted towards the frame 12 so as to place this opening 14 in its successive intermediate closing positions, as shown in FIG. 2, and completely closed, as shown in FIG. 3.

Sur la figure 2, l'ouvrant 14 est représenté dans une position que l'on appelle classiquement position de "verrouillage premier cran" dans laquelle le premier pêne 22 est accroché sur la première gâche 20 de manière que l'ouvrant 14 ne soit pas complètement fermé sans pour autant pouvoir s'ouvrir intempestivement. L'ouvrant 14 ne coopère pas avec le bouton 32.In Figure 2, the opening 14 is shown in a position called conventionally "first notch locking" position in which the first bolt 22 is hooked on the first keeper 20 so that the opening 14 is not completely closed without being able to open unexpectedly. Opening 14 does not cooperate with button 32.

Sur la figure 3, l'ouvrant 14 est représenté dans une position que l'on appelle classiquement "position de verrouillage second cran" dans laquelle le premier pêne 22 est toujours accroché sur la première gâche 20 de façon à retenir cet ouvrant 14 dans sa position de fermeture complète.In Figure 3, the opening 14 is shown in a position called conventionally "second notch locking position" in which the first bolt 22 is still hung on the first keeper 20 so as to retain this opening 14 in its fully closed position.

Pour plus de détails concernant le fonctionnement classique des premiers moyens de verrouillages 16 du type à deux crans de verrouillage, on pourra se référer au document FR - A - 2 439 284.For more details concerning the classic operation of the first means of locks 16 of the type with two locking notches, reference may be made to the document FR - A - 2 439 284.

Lorsque l'ouvrant 14 atteint sa position de fermeture complète telle que représentée sur la figure 3, le bouton 32 est actionné par coopération avec cet ouvrant 14 de façon à commander le déplacement du second pêne 28 vers sa position saillante dans laquelle il coopère avec la seconde gâche 26. Les rampes complémentaires 26R, 28R coopèrent entre elles de façon à solliciter l'ouvrant 14 vers sa position de fermée.When the door 14 reaches its fully closed position as shown in FIG. 3, the button 32 is actuated by cooperation with this opening 14 so as to control the movement of the second bolt 28 to its projecting position in which it cooperates with the second keeper 26. The complementary ramps 26R, 28R cooperate between them so as to urge the opening 14 towards its closed position.

Pour ouvrir à nouveau l'ouvrant 14, les premiers et seconds moyens de verrouillage 16, 18 sont libérés à l'aide de moyens classiques comprenant notamment des moyens électriques de commande des moyens de déplacement 30 commandant le retour du second pêne 28 de sa position saillante vers sa position escamotée.To open the door 14 again, the first and second locking means 16, 18 are released using conventional means including in particular means electrics for controlling the displacement means 30 controlling the return of the second bolt 28 from its projecting position to its retracted position.

L'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit précédemment. En particulier, les premiers moyens de verrouillage actionnés par des moyens mécaniques peuvent être portés par les parties complémentaires supérieures du dormant et de l'ouvrant, les seconds moyens de verrouillage actionnés par des moyens électriques étant dans ce cas portés par les parties complémentaires inférieures du dormant et de l'ouvrant.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In particular, the first locking means actuated by mechanical means can be carried by the upper complementary parts of the frame and the opening, the second locking means actuated by electrical means being in this case carried by the lower complementary parts of the frame and the opening.

Parmi les avantages de l'invention on notera les suivants.Among the advantages of the invention, the following will be noted.

Le fonctionnement des premiers et seconds moyens de verrouillage de la porte selon l'invention est sûr et efficace. En effet, les seconds moyens de verrouillage 18 ne sont actionnés que lorsque l'ouvrant 14 atteint sa position de fermeture complète.The operation of the first and second door locking means according to the invention is safe and effective. Indeed, the second locking means 18 are not actuated only when the leaf 14 reaches its fully closed position.

Par ailleurs, il convient de rappeler que les premiers moyens de verrouillage 16 du type à deux crans de verrouillage nécessitent des réglages précis pour assurer un fonctionnement correct des deux verrouillages successifs "premier cran" et "second cran". Par contre, de tels réglages ne sont pas nécessaires pour le fonctionnement des seconds moyens de verrouillage 18 actionnés par des moyens électriques. L'invention permet donc de verrouiller l'ouvrant 14 dans ses parties inférieure et supérieure, sans pour autant rendre plus complexe le réglage des moyens de verrouillage par rapport au cas où l'on utiliserait des moyens uniques de verrouillage à deux crans.Furthermore, it should be recalled that the first locking means 16 of the type with two locking notches require precise adjustments to ensure correct functioning of the two successive interlocks "first notch" and "second notch". On the other hand, such adjustments are not necessary for the operation of the second locking means 18 actuated by electrical means. The invention therefore allows to lock the sash 14 in its lower and upper parts, without making more complex the adjustment of the locking means compared to the case where one would use unique locking means with two notches.

Enfin, on notera que les seconds moyens de verrouillage, actionnés par des moyens électriques, sont beaucoup moins onéreux que les moyens de verrouillage classiques actionnés par des moyens mécaniques.Finally, it will be noted that the second locking means, actuated by means electric, are much less expensive than conventional locking means actuated by mechanical means.
