Definitions

  • the invention relates to retention members for a lock. motor vehicle, and more particularly a bolt and a ratchet for such a lock.
  • a first retention member is thus formed by the bolt which is of the fork type which usually equips door locks, backrest, tailgate and hood of a motor vehicle.
  • the bolt cooperates with a second retention member constituted by the pawl.
  • a conventional bolt will first be describes the example of a file lock bolt schematically illustrated in Figures 1 to 3.
  • Figures 1 and 2 further show the bolt cooperation with a classic ratchet and a strike. Others elements of the lock will not be described in detail since they are not within the scope of the present invention.
  • the bolt 1 is constituted by a steel plate cut from so as to present the general shape of a fork. It is mounted pivoting on a pivot axis carried by the housing of the lock, so as to be able to pivot between a closed position and a position open of it.
  • the fork is defined by a notch 2 which in the position closed illustrated in Figure 1 receives and retains a keeper connected to a vehicle body element.
  • the strike is generally consisting of a metal U-shaped plate, one of the branches of which is fixed on a bodywork element of the vehicle, and a pin 3 connecting to each other the free ends of the two branches of the U. Only the striker pin is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the bolt 1 cooperates with a pawl 4 which also consists of a steel plate cut to form a lever.
  • the bolt is locked in the closed position (see Figure 1) at using the pawl 4 which is pivotally mounted in the housing of the lock, around a joint at one end of the pawl.
  • the bolt is provided with a locking member consisting of a tail 5 connected to the end of one of the branches of the fork and extending in the plane of the latter towards the rear, substantially perpendicular to this branch.
  • the length of the tail is adapted so that the bolt always remains in contact with the ratchet edge, both in the open position and in the closed position.
  • a front edge 5 ′ of the tail 5 is in stop in a notch 6 constituting the pawl locking member 4 and is constantly biased towards the pawl by a return spring 7 mounted coaxially on the axis la of the bolt, one of the ends is supported on a leg 8 which projects perpendicularly from the plane of the bolt and the other on the case of the lock.
  • the whole bolt is at the same time urged by this return spring 7 towards the position opened by the lock, and in addition by the reaction of the door seal which closed state is compressed.
  • the pawl 4 is also biased towards the tail 5 of the bolt by a return spring 9 mounted coaxially on the axis 4a of the pawl, one end bears against a pin 10 of the pawl and the other on the housing.
  • the latch bolt is generally overmolded by a plastic material which forms a sheath 12 around the bolt, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Certain parts of the bolt are bare, in particular the bottom of the notch and the tail 5 which cooperates with the notch 6 of the pawl 4, thus that a part 13 at the front of the bolt to avoid the bursting of the plastic overmolding of the latch if the user closes violently the door or the tailgate or the backrest when the bolt is in the closed position. Such a burst would be likely to cause friction of the bolt on adjacent elements and should be avoided.
  • the thickness a must be at least 5 mm so that the bolt can resist breaking, while it must be 6 mm to avoid escaping relative to the pawl under the effect of forces transverse.
  • the width b (see Figure 3) of the wall around the bolt's articulation hole on its pivot axis must be at least 1.5 x a . This value of 1.5 times the material thickness is a usual value which depends on the geometry and the complexity of the part.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a retention organ presenting the advantages associated with this retention.
  • the invention further relates to a lock provided with at least such a retention organ.
  • An object of the invention is a retention member for a lock motor vehicle, comprising a locking means capable of cooperate with a locking means of a second member retention in order to retain a strike when the lock is in a closed position, the retention member having a thickness determined to resist, in the event of shock, on the one hand to its rupture and on the other hand to its deformation, characterized in that said thickness of the retention organ is obtained by at least two organ elements retention superimposed and connected to each other so as to form said retention organ.
  • Another object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a retention device as defined above, characterized in that each retention member is made in one cutting operation, and in that at least two elements of the retention are connected to each other by overmolding, welding or bonding.
  • Yet another object is a motor vehicle lock, characterized in that it comprises at least one retention member such as defined above, cooperating with a second retaining member in lock strike position.
  • Figure 4 shows a retention member according to the invention in the form of a bolt whose thickness a is obtained by two elements of retention member in the form of bolt elements 1A and 1B having an identical profile and a shape identical, these bolt elements being superimposed one on the other to form an assembly 1 'constituting the bolt itself.
  • the two bolt elements 1A, 1B are fixed to each other by suitably, for example by welding or gluing.
  • FIG. 5 shows an advantageous variant in which the two bolt elements 1A, 1B are connected to each other by a overmolding constituting a sheath 12.
  • the bolt presents in the latter case bare parts to the same places (2, 5, 13) as the classic bolt described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • the sheath is also provided with a support tab 8 for a return spring (not shown in the figure).
  • the sheath 12 also has four notches 12a at the through hole of the pivot axis of the bolt, for centering in the mold, by four complementary lugs.
  • the bolt elements 1A, 1B which together make it possible to obtain the optimum thickness a , are preferably two in number, but can of course comprise three, or even more elements which in this case constitute a laminated bolt.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the invention in which spacing means are arranged between two juxtaposed bolt elements 1A, 1B.
  • these spacing means consist of bosses 14 regularly arranged on one of the large faces of the bolt element 1A. During assembly, these bosses 14 are directed towards the other juxtaposed latch element 1B so that a gap 15 is created between these two elements.
  • the gap may have a thickness of approximately 1 mm.
  • two bolt elements provided with bosses as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 can be arranged on either side of an element of bolt without boss.
  • Figure 8 shows the bolt elements 1A, 1B of Figure 7 kept apart from each other by the bosses and connected to each other by overmolded material which forms a sheath 12 around the elements. Overmolded material also fills gap 15 between the two bolt elements so that a bolt assembly 1 ' without cell is obtained, which is advantageous for the rigidity of the room.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous, since it also makes it possible to reduce the weight of the whole bolt. Through therefore, it allows the use of a return spring reduced dimensions and therefore less expensive to manufacture.
  • FIG 9 shows a retention device under shape of a ratchet made in a similar way to that illustrated in the figure 7.
  • This ratchet is composed of two elements of the retention 4A, 4B in the form of ratchet elements having a profile substantially identical device.
  • One of the ratchet elements (4A) carries on one of its faces spacing means in the form of boss 14, while the other pawl element bears on its face outward facing a pin 10 and an axis 11.
  • these pawl elements 4A, 4B can be connected together by coating, welding or collage.
  • the thickness of the retaining members is made up by the thicknesses of each element retaining member 1A, 1B, respectively 4A, 4B and optionally a gap between two juxtaposed members, the invention permits the manufacture of each retention member in a single cutting operation.
