Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for attaching an external door opening control of a motor vehicle.
- outdoor opening controls of a motor vehicle door are formed by an assembly comprising in particular a housing fixed on the door and on which is mounted a control member of the opening of said door.
- This control member is formed by a handle for example in the form of a palette.
- the case supporting the control member mounted on the panel external door is fixed by screwing on one or two tabs provided in a cut-out in the panel of door.
- an insert or screw pre-mounted on the housing of the door opening control is centered in a hole provided on the corresponding fixing lug and a nut locks the assembly in position on the panel of door.
- the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages by proposing a device for fixing an order external opening of a motor vehicle door which reduces the assembly time of the order opening on the door panel and also reduce costs through the reduction of the number of parts and in particular the removal of screws and nuts.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a device for attaching an external door opening control of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising an applied housing on the outer face of the edge of a cut-out in the door and supporting an opening control member of said door, said housing being held by pinching at least a portion of the edge of the blank between said housing and a piece applied on the inner side of the edge of this cut, characterized in that the piece is formed by a stirrup having at least one finger extending in parallel to the longitudinal direction of the door and intended to enter a bridge provided on the back side of the housing.
- FIG. 1 schematically shown a door 1 of a motor vehicle which comprises, in front, that is to say on the outer face of the panel 2, a cutout 3 intended to receive an order to open the door 1 held on said blank 3 by means of a device fixing device according to the invention.
- the opening command of the door 1 comprises in particular a housing 10 to be applied on the outer face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3 formed in the panel 2 of the door 1.
- the housing 10 supports a control member of the opening of the door 1 which, in the example shown in FIG. 2, consists of a pallet 11.
- the housing 10 has on its face internal 10a two legs 12 parallel and extending towards the high.
- Each leg 12 is provided at its upper part of a transverse orifice 12a for the passage of an axis, as we will see later.
- the pallet 11 has on its rear face two arms 13 parallel and also extending upwards.
- Each arm 13 is provided at its upper part of an orifice 13a for the passage of an axis and passes through the housing 10 through an opening 14 formed in said housing 10.
- the pallet 11 is mounted on the housing 10 in introducing each arm 13 into an opening 14 so to position the upper end of each arm 13 in look at the upper end of a leg 12.
- an axis is introduced in the orifice 12a of a tab 12 and in the orifice 13a of a arm 13 adjacent such that the pallet 11 pivots around these axes and control, during this pivoting, the opening of the door via a suitable mechanism and connected to said pallet 11.
- the housing 10 also has on its rear face 10a two bridges, respectively 15a and 15b, parallel and each provided with an axial passage, respectively 16a and 16b, extending parallel to the longitudinal direction from the door 1.
- the outer contour housing 10 supporting the pallet 11 is placed on the outer face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3 and is maintained by pinching this edge 3a between the housing 10 and a part 20 applied on the inner face of the edge 3a of this cutout 3.
- the part 20 is formed by a stirrup 21 of length less than the length of the housing 10 and whose outer contour covers only part of the face internal edge 3a of the cutout 3.
- the stirrup 21 has two fingers 22a respectively and 22b, extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of Door 1 and intended to penetrate each into the passage 16a or 16b of a bridge 15a or 15b formed on the face rear 10a of the housing 10.
- the finger 22a is arranged opposite a notch 23 provided on the stirrup 21 and the finger 22b is arranged on the end 21a of the stirrup 21.
- the width of the fingers 22a and 22b is smaller to the width of the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b so as to allow transverse movement of the stirrup 21 when mounting this bracket 21 on the housing 10.
- stirrup 21 and housing 10 are determined so that the fingers 22a and 22b and the bridges 15a and 15b exert, on the one hand, a force pressing the housing 10 on the outer face of the edge 3a of the cutting 3 and, on the other hand, by reaction, an opposite force placing the stirrup 21 on the inner face of the edge 3a of said cutting 3.
- the mounting of the stirrup 21 on the housing 10 is realized in the following way.
- the housing 10 supporting the pallet 11 is placed on the outer face of the edge 3a of the blank 3 and the stirrup 21 is moved in a longitudinal direction of the door 1 so that the fingers 22a and 22b penetrate in the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b.
- stirrup 21 is crushed slightly against the inner face of the panel 2 of the door 1 of such way that the fingers 22a and 22b are positioned in the axis of the passages 16a and 16b of the bridges 15a and 15b.
- the fingers 22a and 22b move backwards compared to the outer face of the door 1, so that the rim of the stirrup 21 rests on the inner face of the edge 3a of the cutout 3, and pull the housing 10 also backward by plating it on the edge 3a of said cutout 3.
- edge 3a of the cutout 3 is pinched between the housing 10 and the stirrup 21, which ensures the fixation housing 10 and the control member of the opening of the door 1 of the motor vehicle.
- the fixing device comprises locking means preventing inadvertent disassembly of the stirrup 21.
- these locking means are formed by a resilient tongue 25 cooperating with a stop 26 provided on the housing 10 ( Figure 3).
- the fastening device according to the invention allows to reduce the assembly time of an opening command outside door on the panel of this door and not requires no screwing device, which also makes it possible to reduce costs due to the removal of screws and nuts.
- the fastening device according to the invention allows also the mounting of the external opening control in hard-to-reach areas for tools screwing.
