Definitions

  • This invention relates to an internal opening system for the rear doors of vehicles, normally in industrial vehicles, provided with rear doors.
  • These vehicles generally have two doors, which might be equal to each other in size or different from each other, and in order to open them it is first necessary to open one of the doors from the exterior and then open the other door from the interior.
  • Document DE-U-9214220 describes an internal opening system for the rear doors of vehicles.
  • the opening systems are usually large in size due to the fact that the doors themselves are large and have a lot of space between the inner and outer metal panels of the doors.
  • This type of location has several disadvantages, such as uncomfortable access from the exterior of the vehicle in order to open the door; the movement that it is necessary to apply onto the operating handle for opening the door is not very natural as it does not follow the opening direction of the door because the movement of the handle is perpendicular to the turning direction of the door; there is the possibility that the load in the vehicle might shift and prevent access for internal opening, so that it would be necessary to move away the shifted load in order to proceed with opening.
  • One object of this invention is to provide an internal opening system for the rear doors of vehicles which is small in size and enables it to be fixed in the edge of small doors.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an internal opening system that noticeably reduces the final effort to be applied on the opening handle.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an internal opening system that helps to reduce the opening torque of the locks in the handle, as well as limiting the travel of the handle for this opening.
  • the invention concerns an opening system which is mounted on the interior of the edge of the door leaf or wing which is opened from the interior, i.e. the door leaf which is open in second place, with a communication that passes through the said edge, allowing the placing of a handle with limited turning in order to carry out the opening of the door leaf in question.
  • a rectangular-shaped flat casing is placed, which has a wide through hole towards one side of its centre, an approximately centred projection towards the interior of the door and two holes, one at each end of this casing.
  • An L-shaped piece of trim or ornamenter slightly longer than the length of the casing, is placed on the external part of the edge of the door and assemble to it by clipping, taking in the corner, the edge and part of the interior side of the door.
  • One of the wings or sides of this trim is placed over the edge of the door and the shorter one over the interior side of the door.
  • the clipping on of the trim is carried out by an internal ledge in its shorter wing, which is inserted by pressing it into an opening made in the interior side of the door.
  • the longer wing of the trim is provided with two end holes, which are separated from each other the same distance as the two end holes in the casing referred to previously, and a transversal recess open to the exterior and directed towards the exterior of the door, with the position of this recess corresponding with that of the larger hole in the casing described earlier.
  • the spindle or neck of a handle passes through the larger hole in the casing and through the opening in the trim, with a torsion spring around this spindle and housed in the interior of a groove.
  • the spindle protrudes inward and receives a toothed pinion, on which a bushing or sleeve is placed that surrounds a small axial closure part received in an axial blind hollow in the spindle.
  • a bolt is passed through, with its free end receiving a support.
  • This support is an uneven part with two flat portions parallel to each other and also parallel to the planes of the trim and of the casing, with both portions being connected by a vertical sector.
  • the lower portion is placed on the casing and is provided with a hole through which the previously mentioned bolt passes and is secured by a weldable nut.
  • the higher portion of this support has a hole in which the bushing of the handle is positioned and fixed by the head of the axial closure part.
  • This higher portion of the support is provided with a wide vertical projection with a free U-shaped end, in which the end of the sheath of the cable is held, that comes from the upper door closer in the frame of the vehicle.
  • the previously described spring is fixed to the base of the mechanism and to the pinion of the handle so that the latter returns to its rest position once the handle is released after being operated.
  • the support described is fixed and the handle makes the pinion turn when it is operated by the user from the exterior of the edge of the door.
  • a second adjustable support On the inward centred projection of the casing is situated firstly the base of a second adjustable support, which also has a wide vertical projection finishing in a U-shaped end, in which the part of the cable that comes from the lower lock of the door will be accommodated.
  • the base of this projection has a cut-out, into which the centred projection of the casing enters, with this base resting on the surface of the casing and on its other end there is another cut-out that remains at the height of the other hole in the casing and in the trim.
  • a second pinion that engages with that of the handle and over this is the holed base of a butterfly-shaped part ("butterfly") fixed by a bushing, which in turn is secured in position by the head of another small axial closure part that is housed in an axial blind hollow in the centred projection of the casing.
  • the butterfly is provided with two vertical projections, aligned with each other and on both sides of its central hole, with these two projections having U-shaped ends, which remain in the same theoretical horizontal continent plane in relation to the ends of the two projections of the fixed support and adjustable support.
  • the U-shaped ends of the projections of the butterfly receive the ends of the cables that come from the two locks, upper and lower, and from the projections of the two supports, in such a way that the turning of the handle is transmitted to its pinion, which transmits it to the pinion of the butterfly, causing it to turn.
  • the projections on the butterfly remain individually substantially superficially opposite the projections of the two supports when the hand is in its non-operated or rest position, with the ends of the sheaths of the cables secured to the U-shaped ends of the projections of the two supports, fixed and adjustable.
  • the turning of the handle is very small, for instance of the order of 28 degrees, with which it does not protrude from the plan view of the edge of the door.
  • the other support can have some play in its position in order to eliminate the problem known as "double opening", which occurs when one of the two locks on the door opens before the other one and this can be noticed when the mechanism is operated.
  • the opening mechanism instead of including the said fixed bolt, can have a lug for fastening this side of the operating or drive system and on the other side a bolt to fasten and allow the appropriate adjustment of the opening.
  • the size of the butterfly is small, and the size of the operating or drive system is too, helping to this effect in the reduction of the lock opening torques on the handle.
  • These pinions can be replaced by a system of cams in order to obtain the desired result as regards operating torques.
  • the invention concerns the application of the internal opening of the leaf (18) from its edge (17), once that the larger leaf (19) has been opened.
  • adjustable support (5) which includes the vertical projection (25) and the encased nut (13), and towards the right we can observe the internal projection or recess (26) by which the trim will be clipped into an open cavity in the leaf of the door.
  • a corresponding cavity will be prepared in the surface of the edge (16) of the door leaf, as it is obvious to point out, so that in this cavity the appropriate means are formed for the fixing of the casing (1), for instance.
  • These means might be lugs that protrude from the thickness of the edge towards the cavity and are holed, to which the casing in question is fixed, as suggested by Figure 8, in which a cavity (30) can be observed, cut into the edge (17), with the holed lugs (31) protruding into this cavity.
  • Figure 6 allows us to check the joint assembly of all the items, from the exterior trim (12) on which the casing (1) is fixed and, secured to a cavity in the edge (17) holds the rest of the mechanisms.
  • the adjustable support (6) Passing through the adjustable support (6) are the projection (32) from the casing, through a cut-out (33) in the support, and the system (13) at the end, permitting the appropriate adjustment, which has already been referred to previously.
  • the spindle of the handle includes a pinion (10) that engages with the pinion (9) of the internal projection (32), which is situated on the support (6). Above the pinion (9), the base of the butterfly (4) is supported, controlled by the bushing (8).
  • the end of the sheath of the cable from the upper lock is fixed in the projection (23) and the end of the corresponding cable is fixed in the projection (24) parallel and aligned with it.
  • the sheath that comes from the lower lock is fixed in the projection (25), while the end of the corresponding cable is fixed in the nearby projection (24).
