Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security system for a opening of a motor vehicle, see for example FR 2 772 818 A.
  • the object of the invention is more particularly to . propose a design of the cover which facilitates the mounting of the sash system which lowers the cost of carrying out this operation, while guaranteeing reliability of the assembly and the system, in particular by means of a good sealing, to prevent dust or humidity can disturb the functioning of the system.
  • the invention proposes a security system of the type described above, characterized in that the cover is retained axially in the window of the panel bodywork by means of a deformable inner ring resiliently carried by the tubular skirt, and which allows axial mounting of the cover from outside to inside by elastic fitting.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a security system 10 motor vehicle of known general design and comprising a handle of a motor vehicle sash which is intended to be mounted on an exterior panel 12 of opening bodywork.
  • the handle essentially comprises a support for handle 14, which is fixed on the side of an inner face 16 of the panel 12, and a gripping lever 18 which is arranged on the side of the outer face 20 of the panel 12, and which is articulated on the support 14, around an axis A1 substantially parallel to a general plan of panel 12.
  • the direction of axis A1 will be arbitrarily qualified as vertical while the direction perpendicular to the A1 axis and perpendicular to the general plane of panel 12, will be described as axial direction along the axis A2 mounting elements of the handle on the panel 12.
  • the front end 22 of the lever 18, which is substantially present in the form of a transverse orientation bar, has a drawbar 24 intended to be engaged through a front orifice 26 of the body panel 12, in order to be mounted for rotation on the support 14.
  • the rear end 28 of the gripping lever 16 has a rear leg 30 which extends axially towards the interior through a rear orifice 32 arranged in the panel 12 so as to cooperate with a linkage (not shown).
  • a user is thus likely to manipulate the gripping lever 18 by gripping a portion substantially central lever 18 and pulling it axially outward from a rest position to an open position. This maneuver causes a rotational movement around of axis A1 of lever 18.
  • the security system includes a detection 40 which makes it possible to detect the presence of the hand of the user in space 36 before the user has actually gripped the lever 18 by its gripping surface 34, and which is carried by the handle support 14 arranged in the side of the inside of the panel 12.
  • the detection device 40 comprises in particular a sensor 42 which is carried by the face transverse outwardly directed from a housing 44 itself fixed on the handle support 14.
  • the sensor 42 is connected to a electronic control module (not shown) which is arranged inside the housing 44.
  • the senor 42 transmits and receives an electromagnetic type signal.
  • the signal is issued to perform a trajectory that extends across of space 36 in such a way that when the hand of the user enters inside this space 36, she must intercept the signal path and prevent the sensor 42 to receive the signal. A deduction will then be made information relating to the presence of the hand in this space 36.
  • the signal emitted by the sensor 42 is for example a light signal in the infrared range.
  • Sensor 42 is arranged opposite a window 46 which is cut out from the recess 38 in the body panel 12.
  • the signal emitted by the sensor 42 is directed outward through the window 46 of panel 12. In the absence of a hand, the signal is reflected on a portion of the gripping surface 34 of the lever 16 which returns the signal towards the sensor 42, again through window 46.
  • the window 46 of the body panel 12 is intended to be closed by a cover 48 including a wall annular outer device 50 extends substantially parallel to the body panel 12, on the outside of it.
  • the cover 48 is made in one material that is transparent to the electromagnetic signal.
  • the cover 48 comprises a tubular skirt 52 which extends axially inward from the peripheral wall outer annular 50, through the window 46 of the panel 12.
  • cover 48 is in section of shape substantially oval. It has two rounded radial ends and substantially straight sides.
  • the cover is of another shape, for example rectangular or circular.
  • the cover 48 is shown with its tubular skirt 52 located above its annular outer peripheral wall 50.
  • the radial ends are located substantially on the left and right of the figures.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the cache 48.
  • the tubular skirt 52 has on its transverse face 54 inwardly oriented, surfaces 56, 58 forming a ramp to each of its radial ends, here respectively at left and right in the figure.
  • the tubular skirt 52 also has a face transverse 60 oriented towards the outside which delimits Axial stop surfaces 62. These axial stop surfaces 62 are located here under the surfaces 56, 58 which form a ramp.
  • the tubular skirt 52 also includes stop lugs 64 which protrude on its peripheral lateral face 66. On distinguishes in Figure 2 the two pins 64 which are located side of the tubular skirt 52. Two stop lugs 64 are located symmetrically on the other side but do not appear in figure 2.
  • the stop lugs 64 also have on their face transverse inwardly oriented surface 68 forming ramp, and on their transverse face facing outwards a stop surface 69.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the ring 70 before assembly and
  • FIG. 4 shows a view in perspective of the ring 70 in position mounted on the skirt tubular 52.
  • the ring 70 has on its transverse face 72 oriented towards inside two retaining tabs 74 which extend axially inward.
  • the ring 70 is mounted on the tubular skirt 52 of inside to outside along the mounting axis A2. During this assembly, the internal edge of the transverse face 76 oriented towards the outside of the ring 70 cooperates with the surfaces 56, 58, 68 forming a ramp so that the ring 70 is deformed elastically by moving radially away from the ramps. As soon as the ring 70 extends axially beyond the ramps, it resumes its original shape which produces its nesting elastic on the tubular skirt 52.
  • each tab of retainer 74 is provided to fit into the space formed between the two stop lugs 64 located on one side of the skirt tubular 52.
  • the stop lugs 64 oppose the circumferential angular movements of the ring 70 in position mounted on the tubular skirt 52.
  • the ring 70 has on its transverse face 72 oriented towards inside, surfaces 78, 80 forming a ramp at each of its radial ends, here on the left and on the right in FIG. 3.
  • the transverse face 76 facing outwards delimits axial abutment surfaces 82, 84 respectively at the radial ends and on the sides of the ring 70.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B show the cover 48 in an intermediate position during assembly
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B show the cache'48 in mounted position.
  • the cover 48 is mounted in the window 46 from the outside inward along the mounting axis A2. During the mounting operation, by moving the cover 48 axially inwards, the surfaces 78, 80 forming a ramp cooperate with the edge 86 of the window 46 so that the ring 70 deforms radially by compressing at the height of ramps, as can be seen in Figures 5A and 5B. The radial ends of ring 70 are then in radial support against the edge 86 of the window 46, and the cover 48 is in the intermediate position during assembly.
  • the ring 70 When the cover 48 is in the mounted position, the ring 70 is in transverse support on the edge 86 of the window 46 by the radial end portions 88 of its lateral face peripheral 90, and it is in axial support on the inner face 16 of the panel 12 by its axial abutment surfaces 82.
  • the cover 48 is axially supported on the outer face 20 of the panel 12 by its annular peripheral wall 50.
  • the ring 70 axially retains the cover 48 inside the window 46 of the body panel 12.
  • the dimensions of the ring 70 and of the window 46 are provided so that the ring 70 fits in the window frame 46 when it is distorted by the mounting operation.
  • the ring 70 must be long enough axially so that the abutment surfaces 82 axial of its radial ends are vis-à-vis the face interior 16 of the body panel 12, in position climb.
  • the window 46 is substantially shaped rectangular. But according to variants (not shown) of the invention, the window 46 can be of any other form allowing the ring 70 to fit into its frame and to rest axially on the inner face 16 of the panel 12.
  • the ring 70 is mounted on the skirt tubular 52 with radial clearance to facilitate its deformation elastic and return to its original shape.
  • the ring 70 is made of material natural or synthetic elastomer.
  • a peripheral seal 92 is axially interposed between the cover 48 and the sensor 42. This seal is then in abutment axial oriented outwards on the transverse face 54 oriented towards the outside of the tubular skirt 52, and it presses the axial abutment surfaces 82 against the inner face 16 of the panel 12.
  • the ring 70 is carried by the tubular skirt by any other known means, for example by bonding or by crimping.
