Abstract

The invention concerns a device comprising a rail (1) guiding a window (3) support slider (2) and means for fixing said slider (2) on said window (3); said means comprise a pin (4) pre-mounted in an opening (5) of a branch (2b) of the slider (2), opposite a corresponding passage hole (6) in the window, and a screw (7) pre-assembled to the second branch (2a) of the slider (2) on the side opposite the pin (4) and opposite the window hole (6); when the screw (7) is screwed into the slider (2) and through the window hole (6), then in an axial channel (12) of the pin (4), it exerts thereon a traction which causes it to slide inside the slider hole (5) and the window hole (6) until is urged to stop against the slider branch (2a). This assembly is extremely simple and ensures more dependable mounting than known devices. The user operating it senses when the assembling is completed by the increase in the screw (7) torque; moreover, if the pin (4) is forgotten, the screw slips thereby warning the operator about the absence of the pin (4).

Description

       

   <Desc/Clms Page number 1> 
 



   Dispositif de lève-vitre de porte de véhicule automobile. 



   La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de lève-vitre de porte de véhicule automobile. 



   Plus particulièrement le dispositif de lève-vitre visé par l'invention est du type comprenant un rail de guidage d'un curseur de support d'une vitre ainsi que des moyens de fixation du curseur sur la vitre. 



   Selon   l'état   de la technique connu, la liaison entre la vitre et le curseur peut être réalisée de différentes façons : - Un pion du curseur rentre dans un trou de la vitre et est verrouillé par une pièce rapportée (fourchette) et mise en place manuellement. Cette opération est peu aisée à exécuter car elle se fait sans possibilité de voir l'opération et sa qualité est souvent médiocre. 



   - Un pion emmanché préalablement dans un trou de la vitre vient se   clipper   sur une pièce élastique faisant partie du curseur qui le bloque et le maintient dans sa position. 



   - Une pince vient serrer et maintenir la vitre par vissage d'une des deux parties de la pince. 



   L'invention a pour but de réaliser la liaison entre la vitre et le curseur de manière plus simple et plus fiable que par ces moyens antérieurs connus. 



   Conformément à l'invention, les moyens de fixation du curseur sur la vitre comprennent un pion prémonté dans une ouverture du curseur, en regard d'un trou de passage correspondant de la vitre, et un élément préassemblé au curseur du côté opposé au pion et en regard du trou de vitre, cet élément pouvant être enfoncé à travers le curseur et le trou jusque dans le pion en provoquant une insertion de ce dernier dans ledit trou afin de fixer le curseur à la vitre. Le pion peut aussi être une partie du curseur, la partie pion du curseur étant reliée au reste du curseur par une zone fragile qui se rompt lors du vissage. 



   Suivant un mode de réalisation de l'invention, dans lequel le curseur présente un profil en U recevant le bas de la vitre, ledit élément est une vis partiellement enfoncée dans une branche du curseur du côté du trou de vitre opposé au pion, et ce dernier est pourvu de moyens anti-rotation afin de pouvoir se déplacer uniquement en translation dans le curseur et dans le trou de vitre. 



   La vis est mise en place avant l'assemblage du lève-vitre, et lors de ce dernier, la vis est enfoncée à travers le trou de la vitre et vient se visser dans le pion. Lorsque la tête de la vis vient en contact avec le curseur et est 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 arrêtée par celui-ci, l'effort de traction exercé par la vis tire le pion vers elle. 



  Le pion coulisse dans l'ouverture de passage du curseur puis pénètre dans le trou de vitre jusqu'à ce qu'il soit arrêté en butée par le curseur. 



   Cet agencement est d'une mise en oeuvre très simple et assure de manière fiable une mise en place correcte du pion ou goupille de fixation, donc la qualité du montage et ce par simple vissage d'une vis. En effet, dans le cas où l'opérateur aurait oublié de mettre en place le pion, la vis ne peut se bloquer et tourne à vide. L'opérateur est donc de ce fait averti que le pion manque ou que la vitre n'est pas en bonne position par rapport au curseur. 



   D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent trois formes de réalisation à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. 



   La figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale partielle à échelle agrandie d'un dispositif de lève-vitre de porte de véhicule automobile montrant une forme de réalisation du système de fixation du curseur à la vitre conformément à l'invention, avant assemblage. 



   La figure 2 est une vue en perspective à échelle agrandie du curseur de la figure 1. 



   La figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 montrant le dispositif après assemblage. 



   La figure 4 est une vue en coupe transversale du pion du curseur illustrant un second mode de réalisation possible du pion. 



   La figure 5 est une vue en perspective d'un troisième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention. 



   Le dispositif de lève-vitre pour porte de véhicule automobile (non représentée) illustré au dessin comprend un rail 1 de guidage d'un curseur 2 de support d'une vitre 3 ainsi que des moyens de fixation du curseur 3 à la vitre 3. 



   Ces moyens comprennent un pion 4 prémonté dans une ouverture 5 du curseur 2. Ce dernier étant constitué d'un profilé en U à deux branches 2a, 2b reliées par un raccord 2c, la vitre 3 est reçue entre les branches 2a, 2b de manière que le bas de la vitre prenne appui sur le raccord   2c, l'écartement   entre les branches 2a et 2b étant sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur de la vitre 3. En regard du trou 5 formé dans la branche 2b située du côté de la vitre 3 extérieur au véhicule, est ménagé dans la vitre 3 un trou 6 dont le diamètre correspond à peu près à celui du pion 4. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 3> 

 



   En vis-à-vis du trou 6 une vis 7 est enfoncée à travers la branche 2a du curseur 2 de manière qu'à   l'état   prémonté (figure 1), sa tête 8 se situe à l'intérieur d'une lumière 9 de passage ménagée dans le rail de guidage 1 ou légèrement à l'extérieur de celle-ci. 



   La vis 8 est donc partiellement enfoncée dans le curseur 2, en regard d'un alésage axial 11 ménagé dans le pion 4 qui présente de préférence un nez conique 4a et est initialement partiellement introduit dans la branche 2b du curseur (figure 1). Le pion 4 est également muni de moyens anti-rotation, comprenant dans l'exemple de la figure 2, deux nervures périphériques longitudinales 12 diamétralement opposées engagées dans des cannelures conjuguées 13 formées sur le pourtour du pion dans le bord du trou 5. 



   L'assemblage du curseur 2 à la vitre 3 s'effectue de la manière suivante. 



   A   l'état   initial, le pion 4 est partiellement engagé dans le trou 5 et la vis 7 est partiellement vissée dans la branche 2a du curseur 2, sa tête 8 restant dans la lumière 9 du rail 1 (figure 1) à l'extérieur d'un logement 10 dans la branche 2a. 



     L'opérateur procède au vissage de la. vis 7 qui s'enfonce à   travers la branche 2a jusqu'à ce que sa tête 8 vienne dans le logement 10 en butée. A ce moment, l'extrémité de la tige filetée 15 est engagée dans le canal axial 11, dont le diamètre est légèrement inférieur à celui de la tige filetée 15. La rotation de cette dernière attire le pion 4 dans les trous 5 et 6 à l'intérieur desquels il pénètre par translation, sans tourner autour de son axe grâce au système anti-rotation 12,13. La translation du pion 4 s'arrête lorsque son nez 4a vient, en butée contre la face interne de la branche 2a du curseur 2 (Figure 3). L'effort de traction exercé sur le pion 4 par la rotation de la vis 7 fait passer le pion par le trou 6 et assure la fixation de la vitre 3 au curseur 2. 



     Dans le troisième mode de réalisation du dispositif (Fig. 5) le   curseur 16 est dimensionné en largeur de manière à s'étendre latéralement au-delà des côtés du rail 1. II est pourvu de deux branches 17 délimitant des profils en U respectifs recevant la vitre 3, et disposées latéralement au-delà des côtés du rail 1. II en est par conséquent de même de deux pions 4 associés à deux vis respectives 7, et deux trous correspondants 6 dans la vitre 3, chaque pion 4 étant monté sur une branche 17. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 4> 

 



   Le curseur 16 a des dimensions supérieures au curseur 2, et grâce à cet agencement il assure la stabilité de la vitre 3 en l'empêchant de tourner autour d'un axe   YY'.   



   Outre les avantages précédemment indiqués, l'invention présente les suivants. 



   - Le pion 4 peut être intégré dans le moulage du curseur 2. 



   - La solution selon l'invention est moins onéreuse qu'un agencement avec des pinces. 



   - Le montage est plus fiable que les montages antérieurs connus, car il rend plus aisé la détection d'un défaut lors de l'assemblage même si l'opérateur ne peut observer visuellement l'assemblage proprement dit. En effet si le trou 6 de la vitre 3 n'est pas correctement en place en regard de la vis 7, celle-ci tournera dans le vide et le défaut pourra être immédiatement détecté. Par ailleurs l'opérateur détecte la fin du vissage grâce à l'augmentation très brusque du couple à exercer sur la vis 7 lorsque la face intérieure de la branche 2a du curseur 2 est en contact avec le nez 4a du pion 4. Il est ainsi averti que l'opération d'assemblage est terminée. 



   - Le fait de faire passer la tête 8 de la vis 7 par la lumière 9 dans le fond du rail 1, ou dans une éventuelle patte-support (non représentée) accroît également la sécurité du montage. En effet si l'opérateur oublie de visser la vis 7, le curseur 2 et la vitre 3 restent bloqués par rapport au rail de guidage 1 et le lève-vitre ne peut être manoeuvré. L'opérateur est donc nécessairement alors informé de son oubli. 



   - Les efforts exercés passent par une pièce en acier (vis 7), ce qui est plus avantageux que la mise en oeuvre de pièces en matière plastique, car les caractéristiques mécaniques des pièces métalliques sont mieux connues. 



   L'invention est susceptible de diverses variantes de réalisation. 



  Ainsi la vis 7 pourrait être remplacée par tout autre élément équivalent dans la mesure où il peut être enfoncé à travers la branche 2a du curseur 2 et dans le pion 4 de manière à attirer celui-ci pour le faire coulisser dans les trous 5 et 6 jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne se bloquer contre le curseur 2. 



   Dans le second mode de réalisation du pion 4 illustré à la figure 4, les nervures 12a et les cannelures correspondantes 13a sont au nombre de sept, ce nombre pouvant être quelconque à partir de un.

   Motor vehicle door window regulator.



   The present invention relates to a window lifter device for a motor vehicle door.



   More particularly, the window regulator device targeted by the invention is of the type comprising a guide rail for a slider for supporting a pane as well as means for fixing the slider to the pane.



   According to the known state of the art, the connection between the glass and the slider can be achieved in different ways: - A slider pin enters a hole in the glass and is locked by an insert (fork) and put in place manually. This operation is not easy to perform because it is done without the possibility of seeing the operation and its quality is often poor.



   - A pawn fitted beforehand in a hole in the glass is clipped onto an elastic piece forming part of the slider which blocks it and keeps it in its position.



   - A clamp clamps and holds the glass by screwing one of the two parts of the clamp.



   The object of the invention is to make the connection between the glass and the slider in a simpler and more reliable manner than by these known prior means.



   In accordance with the invention, the means for fixing the cursor to the glass comprise a pin pre-assembled in an opening in the cursor, opposite a corresponding passage hole in the glass, and an element preassembled to the cursor on the side opposite the pin and opposite the window hole, this element being able to be pushed through the cursor and the hole into the pin, causing the latter to be inserted into said hole in order to fix the cursor to the glass. The pawn can also be a part of the cursor, the pawn part of the cursor being connected to the rest of the cursor by a fragile zone which breaks during screwing.



   According to one embodiment of the invention, in which the cursor has a U-shaped profile receiving the bottom of the glass, said element is a screw partially inserted in a branch of the cursor on the side of the glass hole opposite the pin, and this the latter is provided with anti-rotation means in order to be able to move only in translation in the slider and in the window hole.



   The screw is put in place before assembling the window lifter, and during this, the screw is driven through the hole in the window and is screwed into the pin. When the screw head comes into contact with the slider and is

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 stopped by the latter, the tensile force exerted by the screw pulls the pin towards it.



  The pin slides in the opening of passage of the cursor then enters the window hole until it is stopped in abutment by the cursor.



   This arrangement is of a very simple implementation and ensures reliably a correct positioning of the pin or fixing pin, therefore the quality of the assembly and this by simple screwing of a screw. Indeed, in the case where the operator has forgotten to put the pin in place, the screw cannot lock and turns idle. The operator is therefore therefore warned that the pin is missing or that the window is not in the correct position relative to the cursor.



   Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings which illustrate three embodiments thereof by way of nonlimiting examples.



   Figure 1 is a partial vertical sectional view on an enlarged scale of a motor vehicle door window regulator device showing an embodiment of the system for fixing the slider to the window glass according to the invention, before assembly.



   FIG. 2 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of the cursor of FIG. 1.



   Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the device after assembly.



   Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the cursor pin illustrating a second possible embodiment of the pin.



   Figure 5 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the device according to the invention.



   The window lifter device for a motor vehicle door (not shown) illustrated in the drawing comprises a rail 1 for guiding a slider 2 for supporting a window 3 as well as means for fixing the slider 3 to the window 3.



   These means comprise a pin 4 preassembled in an opening 5 of the cursor 2. The latter being made up of a U-shaped profile with two branches 2a, 2b connected by a connector 2c, the window 3 is received between the branches 2a, 2b so that the bottom of the glass is supported on the connector 2c, the spacing between the branches 2a and 2b being substantially equal to the thickness of the glass 3. Opposite the hole 5 formed in the branch 2b located on the side of the glass 3 outside the vehicle, a hole 6 is made in the window 3 whose diameter roughly corresponds to that of the pin 4.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 



   Opposite the hole 6, a screw 7 is driven through the branch 2a of the slider 2 so that in the pre-assembled state (FIG. 1), its head 8 is located inside a lumen 9 passage formed in the guide rail 1 or slightly outside thereof.



   The screw 8 is therefore partially driven into the slider 2, opposite an axial bore 11 formed in the pin 4 which preferably has a conical nose 4a and is initially partially introduced in the branch 2b of the slider (Figure 1). The pin 4 is also provided with anti-rotation means, comprising, in the example of FIG. 2, two diametrically opposite longitudinal peripheral ribs 12 engaged in conjugate grooves 13 formed on the periphery of the pin in the edge of the hole 5.



   The assembly of the slider 2 to the window 3 is carried out as follows.



   In the initial state, the pin 4 is partially engaged in the hole 5 and the screw 7 is partially screwed into the branch 2a of the cursor 2, its head 8 remaining in the lumen 9 of the rail 1 (FIG. 1) outside of a housing 10 in branch 2a.



     The operator proceeds to screw the. screw 7 which is inserted through the branch 2a until its head 8 comes into the housing 10 in abutment. At this moment, the end of the threaded rod 15 is engaged in the axial channel 11, the diameter of which is slightly less than that of the threaded rod 15. The rotation of the latter attracts the pin 4 in the holes 5 and 6 to inside which it penetrates by translation, without turning around its axis thanks to the anti-rotation system 12,13. The translation of the pin 4 stops when its nose 4a comes into abutment against the internal face of the branch 2a of the cursor 2 (Figure 3). The tensile force exerted on the pin 4 by the rotation of the screw 7 passes the pin through the hole 6 and ensures the fixing of the window 3 to the slider 2.



     In the third embodiment of the device (Fig. 5) the cursor 16 is dimensioned in width so as to extend laterally beyond the sides of the rail 1. It is provided with two branches 17 delimiting respective U-profiles receiving the window 3, and arranged laterally beyond the sides of the rail 1. It is therefore the same for two pins 4 associated with two respective screws 7, and two corresponding holes 6 in the window 3, each pin 4 being mounted on a branch 17.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 4>

 



   The cursor 16 has dimensions greater than the cursor 2, and thanks to this arrangement it ensures the stability of the window 3 by preventing it from rotating around an axis YY '.



   In addition to the advantages indicated above, the invention has the following.



   - The pin 4 can be integrated in the molding of the cursor 2.



   - The solution according to the invention is less expensive than an arrangement with pliers.



   - The assembly is more reliable than the known prior assemblies, because it makes it easier to detect a fault during assembly even if the operator cannot visually observe the assembly itself. Indeed if the hole 6 of the window 3 is not correctly in place opposite the screw 7, the latter will rotate in a vacuum and the fault can be immediately detected. Furthermore, the operator detects the end of the screwing thanks to the very sudden increase in the torque to be exerted on the screw 7 when the inner face of the branch 2a of the slider 2 is in contact with the nose 4a of the pin 4. It is thus warned that the assembly operation is complete.



   - Passing the head 8 of the screw 7 through the slot 9 in the bottom of the rail 1, or in a possible support bracket (not shown) also increases the safety of the assembly. Indeed, if the operator forgets to screw the screw 7, the slider 2 and the window 3 remain blocked relative to the guide rail 1 and the window regulator cannot be operated. The operator is therefore necessarily informed of his oversight.



   - The forces exerted pass through a steel part (screw 7), which is more advantageous than the use of plastic parts, because the mechanical characteristics of metal parts are better known.



   The invention is susceptible of various variant embodiments.



  Thus the screw 7 could be replaced by any other equivalent element insofar as it can be pushed through the branch 2a of the cursor 2 and into the pin 4 so as to attract the latter to make it slide in the holes 5 and 6 until it comes to lock against cursor 2.



   In the second embodiment of the pin 4 illustrated in Figure 4, the ribs 12a and the corresponding grooves 13a are seven in number, this number can be any from one.
