Definitions
- the invention relates to a positioning and assembly system. a mobile element on a drive system, and more particularly a vehicle window on a window regulator.
- US Patent 5,729,930 describes an adjustable mounting system for the window in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and applies to a pierced window a hole for housing a protuberance defined by said patent.
- adapters are glued to the glass, then the glass is inserted into the door so that the adapters fit into place on the sliders of a window regulator. Then the glass is pushed into abutment against the vertical upright of the vehicle door, and then mounted in the high position. During this upward movement, the window will be positioned in the longitudinal direction by relative to the vertical amount of the door, the adapters having at this stage the possibility of translating longitudinally with respect to the sliders. Yes, in the upper position of the glass, the sliders are hidden, for example, by a door reinforcement bar, the final fixing of the glass cannot be do in this position. The window must therefore be lowered by a certain value, while maintaining its position relative to the sliders, in order to be able to be definitively fixed.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.
- a system for positioning and assembling an element mobile such as a window on and with a drive device such as a window winder of a motor vehicle of the type comprising a so-called element adapter attached to the movable or glass element, a slider element guided in at least one rail secured to a vehicle door, and driven by a drive device housed in said door, an element imprisonment and a means of fixation capable of securing the adapter, the slider and the imprisonment element, the adapter being held between said cursor and said imprisonment element.
- the invention allows the adjustment of the window, in the direction longitudinal of the vehicle thanks to the action of the third extension of the cursor on the second extension of the adapter.
- This contact creates strength likely to keep the movable element in its final position before its final fixation, carried out by the grip of said first extension of the adapter between the two contact surfaces and the action of the means of fixation.
- the use of a single system according to the invention is possible, but the holding the movable element or glass is better ensured with two systems.
- the invention relates more particularly the assembly of a movable window of a vehicle on a window regulator.
- Attaching the adapters to the movable or glass element can be produced by clamping or clipping, for example through holes provided in the glass, if the properties of the material or the shape of the glass allow.
- the fixing of the adapters on the glass is made by gluing, to meet the requirements of the type of panes used, such as so-called laminated panes.
- the second extension is made up of two parts which form a clamp to maintain better the third extension of the cursor. These two parts of the clamp can also be fitted with hooks to allow the training of the window when lowering before final fixing.
- the third extension has a stretched or elongated shape in the longitudinal direction of the glass, to allow a significant translation of the adapter along this third extension.
- the third extension is constituted of a substantially cylindrical part, which facilitates the introduction of the third extension between the two parts forming a clamp and constituting the second extension.
- the contact surfaces of the second extension of the adapter and those of the third extension of the cursor are advantageously provided substantially vertical teeth.
- This characteristic makes it possible to increase the holding force of the cursor in the second clip-like extension by action of the teeth of the two extensions overlapping each other.
- the teeth made on the third extension of the cursor can be formed by a thread, which allows to use an element reported to said cursor.
- At least one of the faces of the first extension is provided with substantially horizontal teeth, and at least one surface of the first contact surface and / or the second contact surface, facing the face of the first extension is provided with teeth, substantially parallel to the teeth of the first extension.
- This characteristic makes it possible to increase the holding force of said adapter between the contact surfaces, by pressure between the teeth, thanks to the fixing means, and limits the possibility of tearing off the support system adapter.
- the particular shape of the teeth allows the attachment of the first extension between the cursor and the imprisonment element and prevents the accidental stall of the first extension.
- the cursor is provided with a tab and the locking element is pierced with a hole to allow the passage of said tongue. This characteristic facilitates pre-maintenance of the element of imprisonment by the cursor before the final fixing by said fixing means.
- the cursor is pierced with at least a first hole to allow the passage of the fastening means towards the imprisonment element.
- the set consisting of a cursor and an element imprisonment, can be done in one piece.
- the mobility of the imprisonment element in pivoting relative to the cursor is achieved by the elasticity and the shape of the connection of said element imprisonment with said cursor. This has the advantage of reducing the number of components and facilitate the installation of the element imprisonment relative to the cursor.
- the adapter has a recess, located opposite the first hole of the cursor, to allow the passage of the fixing means.
- the element of imprisonment is drilled with at least one second hole preferably located opposite the first hole of the cursor to allow the passage of the fixing means.
- the imprisonment element can also be pierced on its outer face a third hole, located in the extension of the recess of the adapter, to accommodate and maintain part of the fixing means therein.
- the third hole may have the shape of a nut, in the case where the fastening systems would be screw-nut systems, the screw being accessible from the dry side of the vehicle door.
- the fixing means consists of a self-tapping screw
- this screw will pass in the first hole and will be screwed in the second hole. This type of screw makes it possible to reduce the number of components.
- the cursor is provided with stops which support the lower edge of the first extension of the adapter when fitting the adapter and therefore the glass on the slider.
- Another advantage of the invention consists in the fact that the means can be positioned on one side or the other with respect to the window.
- FIG. 1 which represents the invention in its environment, we can identify a vehicle door (1) conventionally provided with two rails (2a, 2b), on which slide the sliders (3a, 3b), and adapters (4a, 4b) on which a window (10) is mounted.
- the glass is previously fixed on adapters (4a, 4b), by example by clamping and / or by clipping and / or by gluing, then these adapters are engaged in the sliders (3a, 3b).
- the manipulator abuts the window (10) against the upright (6) vertical of the door (1), by pushing the window (10) in the direction of the arrow (7a), that is to say, to the right in FIG. 1.
- the manipulator then moves the glass (10) upwards, thanks to a drive device conventional, not shown, and made up in particular of cables and a engine.
- the adapters (4a, 4b) can sliding relative to said sliders (3a, 3b) horizontally and parallel to the door (1) in the direction of the arrow (7b), opposite to that of the arrow (7a).
- the rails (2a, 2b) are slightly inclined relative to the upright vertical (6) of the door (1), the angle included between a rail (2a or 2b) and the upright (6) having a top located above the door (1). So, the window (10) is urged against the vertical upright (6) when it is mounted. The window (10) is then pushed by said vertical upright (6) to the left in the direction of the arrow (7b). Indeed, the reaction force exerted by the vertical upright (6) on the window according to the invention is greater than the force of restraint exerted by a special structure of the system according to the invention, this which allows the horizontal sliding of the glass. When the glass comes in stop against the horizontal upright (5) of the door, we can say that it is in its final position.
- a reinforcement bar (8) of the door (1) sometimes prevents access to the fixing means, not shown on this view.
- the window must therefore be lowered a few centimeters so that the said fixing means become accessible to the manipulator, through holes (6a, 6b) made in the rails (2a, 2b); said means of fixation are then permanently fixed.
- the window does not undergoes no effort in the direction of the arrow (7b), because there is no more action of said vertical upright (6) on the window (10), and the special structure according to the invention allows the glass to be held in its optimal, defined position by its high position.
- FIG. 2 shows an adapter (4a or 4b) glued to the window (10) which rests on a horizontal shoulder (11a) provided between a upper wall (11b) and a lower wall (11c) of the adapter (4a, 4b).
- the lower wall (11c) of the adapter (4a, 4b) is extended downwards by a first substantially vertical extension (12) comprising two parallel faces (12a, 12b) provided with horizontal teeth (17), for improve the holding of the adapter (4a, 4b) on the corresponding slider (3a or 3b), after the final fixing of the window (10).
- the lower extension or first extension (12) includes a recess (15) to allow the passage of a fixing means described later and is located substantially in the extension of the window (10), this extension (12) is ending with a lower edge (16).
- the adapter (4a or 4b) includes a second extension (13) extending horizontally, for example, to the left of Figure 2, in the extension of the upper wall (11b) of the adapter (4a or 4b) and consists of two parts (13a, 13b), forming a clamp. On the inner faces of this clamp (13a, 13b) are provided with teeth vertical (14) which increase the holding force of the adapter (4a or 4b) on the cursor (3a or 3b). Located at the bottom of the two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13), are provided hooks (18a, 18b) which serve keep the adapter attached to the slider when lowering the system before final fixing.
- a cursor (3a or 3b) is represented according to the invention.
- This cursor (3a or 3b) comprises a vertical wall (37) and two superimposed vertical guide blocks (38a, 38b) integral with said wall (37).
- the vertical wall (37) also comprises, on the other side with respect to to the blocks (38a, 38b), a contact surface (35) on which have been made of horizontal teeth (39) intended to cooperate with the teeth (17) of the vertical face (12b) of the first extension (12) during the final fixation.
- the wall (37) has lateral stops (36) which project from said wall (37) and against which bears the lower end (16) of the first extension (12) of the adapter (4a or 4b) during assembly, as indicated in Figure 6.
- a central tongue (34) preferably elastic and integral with the lower end of the wall (37) is located at a level lower than that of the stops (36) and is used to pre-maintain an element imprisonment (40) on the cursor (3a or 3b), as we can see on Figure 5.
- a hole (33) formed in the central part of the wall (37) allows the passage of a fixing means (50, 51). When the means of fixing is constituted by a screw, this hole (33) must be of diameter sufficient to allow the angular movement of the screw (51) during tightening, as shown in figure 6.
- each of the superimposed blocks (38a, 38b) has a guide housing (32) into which is introduced a corresponding rail (2a or 2b) so that the cursor (3a or 3b) can slide freely along said rail while being driven by a motor cable not shown, which is fixed in a conventional manner on one of the blocks superimposed (38a or 38b).
- the upper block (38a), that is to say the cursor (3a or 3b), comprises a horizontal extension (31), called the third extension, which extends over the Figure 3, to the left in the longitudinal direction of the window (10).
- This third extension (31) has a substantially cylindrical shape and is located at least approximately in the horizontal extension of the plane of the wall (37).
- This cylindrical extension (31) also called “Third extension” carries on the same side as the teeth (39) of the wall (37) of vertical teeth (43) which cooperate with the internal teeth (14) of two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13) of the adapter (4a or 4b) before final assembly.
- extension (31) can be arranged symmetrically on the other side of the cursor (3a or 3b).
- This other extension allows, in case of tolerance problem, that at least one of the two extensions (31) can be clipped into one of the two clamps, made up each by the two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13) which, in this particular case, is provided in duplicate respectively on each lateral end of the upper wall (11b) of the adapter (4a or 4b).
- the teeth (43), formed on the cylindrical extension (31), are noticeably vertical, but they can take shapes particular as for example the shape of a thread.
- FIG. 4 represents a prison element (40) which, in vertical section, shows the shape of an L with a large vertical wing and a short horizontal wing approximately equal to the thickness of the vertical wing, this horizontal wing being placed below stops (36) of the cursor (3a or 3b), when the latter is close to the imprisonment element (40).
- the horizontal wing of the latter is interrupted and the vertical wing has a hole (42) of rectangular section intended to receive the horizontal tab (34) of the cursor (3a or 3b).
- Wall vertical of the imprisonment element (40) comprises, in its zone approximately central, a cylindrical hole (44), coinciding overall with the hole (33) of the cursor (3a or 3b) so as to allow the passage of a fixing means (50) comprising in particular a screw (51).
- the fixing means (50) also includes a nut (46) inserted into a recess (45) of the element (40), not visible because of the nut, said recess (45) having the shape of the nut (46), which is held in place when the element (40) is tightened in direction of the wall (37) of the cursor (3a or 3b).
- the fixing means (50) includes a self-tapping screw.
- the nut (46) and its housing formed by the recess (45) does not exist and the diameter of the hole (44) is chosen to allow engagement and attachment of the screw (51) in said hole (44).
- the inner contact surface (41) of the confinement element (40) shown in Figure 6, is smooth to increase the pressure exerted by the latter on the adapter (4a or 4b), but this contact surface interior (41) can also be provided with teeth identical to the teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b), or it can also be the only one to be provided with teeth while the contact face (35) of the vertical wall (37) of the cursor (3a or 3b) remains smooth.
- Figure 5 shows the pre-assembly of the cursor (3a or 3b) and of the imprisonment element (40).
- the fixing means (50) which here sees the nut (46) and the end of the screw (51), and the introduction of the tab (34) of the cursor (3a or 3b) in the hole of rectangular section (42) of the imprisonment element (40) allow pre-maintenance or pre-assembly of the two elements, cursor (3a or 3b) and element imprisonment (40).
- the screw (51) is not yet completely screwed in the nut (46) to allow the introduction of the adapter (4a or 4b) between the two contact surfaces (35, 41) of the cursor and of respectively the element of imprisonment.
- the screw (51) in this case passes through the hole or notch (15) of the adapter, said hole having for this purpose a opening downward and being delimited by U-shaped faces reversed.
- the two elements, the cursor (3a or 3b) and the imprisonment element (40), constitute a set adjustable and flexible at the point of connection between the cursor and the element imprisonment.
- FIG. 6 represents the system in the pre-assembled position, the adapter (4a or 4b) being introduced into the space between the surfaces of contact (35, 41) of the cursor (3a or 3b) and of the imprisonment element (40).
- the cylindrical extension (31) of the cursor (3a or 3b) is clipped between the vertical walls or parts (13a, 13b) forming a clamp and constituting the second extension (13) of the adapter (4a or 4b).
- the hooks (18a, 18b) of the extension (13) cooperate with the cylindrical extension (31) to hold the adapter (4a or 4b) in position relative to the cursor (3a or 3b) during the descent of the window (10) before its final fixing.
- Figure 7 shows the system in its position of final operation.
- the fixing means (50) is actuated until it final clamping position and the contact surfaces of the various elements then come into contact with each other, which allows fixing the adapter (4a or 4b) between the cursor (3a or 3b) and the element imprisonment (40).
- Figure 8 shows a variant of the usable tooth shapes in the system according to the invention, in particular as regards the form teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b), and those of teeth (17) of the adapter (4a or 4b).
- Triangular teeth need the same effort to put the adapter in place or remove it, which can cause problems when lowering the window (10), before fixing final. Indeed, the glass (10) can be trapped in the seal located along of the door frame. This is why it may be necessary to be able to increase the extraction force of the adapter (4a or 4b) thanks to a shape particular teeth.
- the tooth profiles (80a) can replace those of the teeth (17) of the adapter (4a or 4b) and the profiles (80b) can replace those of the teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b) and / or of the imprisonment element (40).
- the slopes (81 and 82) of the teeth (80a and 80b) cooperate to facilitate setting in place of the adapter (4a or 4b), while the horizontal faces (83 and 84) teeth (80a and 80b) cooperate to prevent accidental removal of the adapter (4a or 4b) before final fixing, this removal may occur for example if the window (10) gets stuck in the door seals.
- the window (10) is previously fixed on adapters (4a, 4b), for example by clamping and / or by clipping and / or by gluing, then these adapters are engaged in the sliders (3a, 3b).
- the manipulator puts the glass (10) in stop against the vertical upright (6) of the door (1), by pushing the window (10) in the direction of the arrow (7a), that is to say, to the right in FIG. 1.
- the manipulator then moves the window (10) upwards, thanks to a system of classical training, not shown, and in particular consisting of cables and a motor.
- the adapters (4a, 4b) can slide relative to said sliders (3a, 3b) horizontally and parallel to the door (1) in the direction of the arrow (7b), opposite that of the arrow (7a).
- the rails (2a, 2b) are slightly inclined relative to the upright vertical (6) of the door (1), the angle included between a rail (2a or 2b) and the upright (6) having a top located above the door (1). So, the window (10) is urged against the vertical upright (6) when it is mounted. The window (10) is then pushed by said vertical upright (6) in the direction of the arrow (7b). Indeed, the reaction force exerted by the vertical upright (6) on the glass (10) is greater than the retaining force exerted by the second extension (13) on the cylindrical extension (31), which allows the sliding of the adapter (4a or 4b) and therefore of the window (10). When the window comes into abutment against the horizontal upright (5) of the door (1), you can say it has been adjusted to its final position.
- a reinforcement bar (8) of the door (1) sometimes prevents access to the fixing means (50), not shown on this view.
- the window (10) must therefore be lowered by a few centimeters so that said fixing means become accessible to manipulator, through holes (6a, 6b) made in the rails (2a, 2b), said fixing means (50) then being permanently fixed.
- the window (10) undergoes no effort in the direction of the arrow (7b), because there is no longer any action of the vertical upright (6) on the window (10), and the action of the extension (13) on the cylindrical extension (31) allows a holding the window (10) in its optimal position, defined by its position high and the hooks (18a, 18b), shown in Figure 2, allow, by their action on the extension (31), the drive of said window (10) and its adapters (4a, 4b) by the sliders (3a, 3b).

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un système de positionnement et d'assemblage d'un élément mobile sur un système d'entraínement, et plus particulièrement d'une vitre de véhicule sur un lève-vitre.The invention relates to a positioning and assembly system. a mobile element on a drive system, and more particularly a vehicle window on a window regulator.
Depuis longtemps, le montage d'une vitre sur un lève-vitre est délicat et de nombreuses solutions ont été proposées pour améliorer le montage et le positionnement de la vitre dans son système de support.For a long time, mounting a window on a window regulator has been delicate and many solutions have been proposed to improve the mounting and positioning of the glass in its support system.
L'obtention de tolérances faibles de positionnement de la vitre par rapport au lève-vitre est primordiale, car des tolérances faibles permettent un bon ajustement de la vitre dans les joints de la porte en position haute et réduisent, par exemple, les problèmes d'étanchéité, de bruits d'air ou de vibrations de la vitre à grande vitesse.Obtaining low tolerances for positioning the glass by compared to the window regulator is essential, because low tolerances allow a good adjustment of the glass in the door seals in the high position and reduce, for example, problems with tightness, air noise or vibrations of the glass at high speed.
Pour réduire ces tolérances et assurer un bon montage de la vitre par rapport aux différents éléments fixes avoisinants, il faut pouvoir régler, en particulier dans le sens longitudinal du véhicule, la position de la vitre sur le lève-vitre avant de fixer la vitre définitivement sur ledit lève-vitre.To reduce these tolerances and ensure proper mounting of the glass in relation to the various neighboring fixed elements, it is necessary to be able to adjust, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the position of the window on the window regulator before fixing the window permanently on said window regulator.
Le brevet US 5 729 930 décrit un système de montage réglable de la vitre dans le sens longitudinal du véhicule et s'applique à une vitre percée d'un trou permettant d'y loger une protubérance définie par ledit brevet.US Patent 5,729,930 describes an adjustable mounting system for the window in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and applies to a pierced window a hole for housing a protuberance defined by said patent.
L'objet de ce brevet US présente plusieurs désavantages consistant, en particulier, dans le fait que la vitre doit être munie d'un trou et doit pouvoir supporter la pression exercée par les deux parties de serrage, ce qui n'est pas toujours compatible avec les vitres utilisées, que ce soit à cause du type de vitre utilisée, tel que la vitre sans trou, ou que ce soit à cause du matériau utilisé pour la fabrication de la vitre, par exemple les vitres dites feuilletées qui ne supportent ni les trous, ni la pression.The subject of this US patent has several disadvantages, in particular, in the fact that the glass must have a hole and must be able to withstand the pressure exerted by the two clamping parts, this which is not always compatible with the panes used, whether at because of the type of glass used, such as glass without a hole, or whether because of the material used to make the glass, for example so-called laminated panes which support neither the holes nor the pressure.
Un autre désavantage lié à ce système connu de montage est que le moyen de fixation est accessible uniquement par le côté dit humide de la porte du véhicule, ce qui pose des problèmes d'accessibilité à la personne responsable du montage dans le cas où le lève-vitre est fixé sur la porte, avant la mise en place définitive de la vitre, et à l'opérateur chargé de changer la vitre dans le cas où celle-ci est défectueuse. Another disadvantage linked to this known mounting system is that the fixing means is accessible only by the so-called wet side of the vehicle door, which poses accessibility problems for the person responsible for assembly in the case where the window regulator is fixed on the door, before the final installation of the glass, and to the operator responsible for change the glass in case it is defective.
Par exemple, pour assurer un bon positionnement de la vitre avant sa fixation définitive, on peut procéder de la façon suivante : les adaptateurs sont collés à la vitre, puis la vitre est insérée dans la porte de façon que les adaptateurs se mettent en place sur les curseurs d'un lève-vitre. Ensuite, la vitre est poussée en butée contre le montant vertical de la porte du véhicule, et après, est montée en position haute. Au cours de ce mouvement ascendant, la vitre se positionnera dans le sens longitudinal par rapport au montant vertical de la porte, les adaptateurs ayant à ce stade la possibilité de se translater longitudinalement par rapport aux curseurs. Si, en position haute de la vitre, les curseurs sont cachés, par exemple, par une barre de renfort de la porte, la fixation définitive de la vitre ne peut se faire dans cette position. La vitre doit donc être descendue d'une certaine valeur, tout en conservant sa position par rapport aux curseurs, afin de pouvoir être fixée définitivement.For example, to ensure proper positioning of the front window its final fixation, we can proceed as follows: adapters are glued to the glass, then the glass is inserted into the door so that the adapters fit into place on the sliders of a window regulator. Then the glass is pushed into abutment against the vertical upright of the vehicle door, and then mounted in the high position. During this upward movement, the window will be positioned in the longitudinal direction by relative to the vertical amount of the door, the adapters having at this stage the possibility of translating longitudinally with respect to the sliders. Yes, in the upper position of the glass, the sliders are hidden, for example, by a door reinforcement bar, the final fixing of the glass cannot be do in this position. The window must therefore be lowered by a certain value, while maintaining its position relative to the sliders, in order to be able to be definitively fixed.
Dans le cas du système de montage connu par le brevet US 5 729 930, l'accessibilité des moyens de fixation pose des problèmes au manipulateur, car l'élément de serrage n'est accessible que du côté humide de la porte.In the case of the mounting system known by the patent US 5,729,930, the accessibility of the fixing means poses problems for the manipulator, because the clamping element is only accessible from the wet side Door.
L'invention s'est donnée pour but de supprimer ces inconvénients.The object of the invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.
Dans un système de positionnement et d'assemblage d'un élément mobile tel qu'une vitre sur et avec un dispositif d'entraínement tel qu'un lève-vitre d'un véhicule automobile, du type comprenant un élément dit adaptateur fixé à l'élément mobile ou vitre, un élément curseur guidé dans au moins un rail solidaire d'une porte de véhicule, et entraíné par un dispositif d'entraínement logé dans ladite porte, un élément d'emprisonnement et un moyen de fixation susceptible de solidariser l'adaptateur, le curseur et l'élément d'emprisonnement, l'adaptateur étant tenu entre ledit curseur et ledit élément d'emprisonnement.In a system for positioning and assembling an element mobile such as a window on and with a drive device such as a window winder of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a so-called element adapter attached to the movable or glass element, a slider element guided in at least one rail secured to a vehicle door, and driven by a drive device housed in said door, an element imprisonment and a means of fixation capable of securing the adapter, the slider and the imprisonment element, the adapter being held between said cursor and said imprisonment element.
Le but de l'invention est atteint du fait que
- l'adaptateur présente une première extension sensiblement verticale dans le prolongement de l'élément mobile ou vitre ainsi qu'une seconde extension dans le sens longitudinal de l'élément mobile ou vitre,
- le curseur est muni d'une troisième extension dans le sens longitudinal de la vitre, d'au moins un bloc de guidage solidaire d'un élément du dispositif d'entraínement et guidé le long d'un rail, ainsi que d'une paroi verticale comportant une surface de contact susceptible de coopérer avec l'une des faces de la première extension de l'adaptateur dont la deuxième extension coopère avec la troisième extension du curseur de façon à permettre un faible mouvement relatif entre l'adaptateur et le curseur, sous l'action d'une force longitudinale appliquée à la vitre avant sa fixation,
- l'élément d'emprisonnement comprend une seconde surface de contact, et
- le moyen de fixation coopère avec l'élément d'emprisonnement de façon à bloquer la première extension de l'adaptateur entre lesdites première et seconde surfaces de contact.
- the adapter has a first substantially vertical extension in the extension of the movable element or window as well as a second extension in the longitudinal direction of the movable element or window,
- the cursor is provided with a third extension in the longitudinal direction of the glass, at least one guide block secured to an element of the drive device and guided along a rail, as well as a wall vertical comprising a contact surface capable of cooperating with one of the faces of the first extension of the adapter, the second extension of which cooperates with the third extension of the cursor so as to allow a slight relative movement between the adapter and the cursor, under the action of a longitudinal force applied to the glass before it is fixed,
- the imprisonment element comprises a second contact surface, and
- the fixing means cooperates with the confinement element so as to block the first extension of the adapter between said first and second contact surfaces.
Ainsi, l'invention permet le réglage de la vitre, dans le sens longitudinal du véhicule grâce à l'action de la troisième extension du curseur sur la seconde extension de l'adaptateur. Ce contact crée une force susceptible de maintenir l'élément mobile dans sa position définitive avant sa fixation finale, réalisée par l'emprise de ladite première extension de l'adaptateur entre les deux surfaces de contact et l'action du moyen de fixation. L'utilisation d'un seul système selon l'invention est possible, mais le maintien de l'élément mobile ou vitre est mieux assuré avec deux systèmes.Thus, the invention allows the adjustment of the window, in the direction longitudinal of the vehicle thanks to the action of the third extension of the cursor on the second extension of the adapter. This contact creates strength likely to keep the movable element in its final position before its final fixation, carried out by the grip of said first extension of the adapter between the two contact surfaces and the action of the means of fixation. The use of a single system according to the invention is possible, but the holding the movable element or glass is better ensured with two systems.
Comme mentionné précédemment, l'invention concerne plus particulièrement l'assemblage d'une vitre mobile d'un véhicule sur un lève-vitre.As mentioned previously, the invention relates more particularly the assembly of a movable window of a vehicle on a window regulator.
La fixation des adaptateurs sur l'élément mobile ou vitre peut être réalisée par serrage ou clipsage, par exemple à travers des trous ménagés dans la vitre, si les propriétés du matériau ou la forme de la vitre le permettent.Attaching the adapters to the movable or glass element can be produced by clamping or clipping, for example through holes provided in the glass, if the properties of the material or the shape of the glass allow.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la fixation des adaptateurs sur la vitre est réalisée par collage, pour satisfaire aux exigences du type de vitres utilisées, tel que les vitres dites feuilletées. According to an advantageous characteristic, the fixing of the adapters on the glass is made by gluing, to meet the requirements of the type of panes used, such as so-called laminated panes.
Dans certains cas, il peut être avantageux que la seconde extension soit constituée de deux parties qui forment une pince pour maintenir au mieux la troisième extension du curseur. Ces deux parties de la pince peuvent être aussi munies de crochets pour permettre l'entraínement de la vitre lors de sa descente avant la fixation définitive.In some cases, it may be advantageous if the second extension is made up of two parts which form a clamp to maintain better the third extension of the cursor. These two parts of the clamp can also be fitted with hooks to allow the training of the window when lowering before final fixing.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, la troisième extension a une forme étirée ou allongée dans le sens longitudinal de la vitre, pour permettre une translation importante de l'adaptateur le long de cette troisième extension.According to a particular characteristic, the third extension has a stretched or elongated shape in the longitudinal direction of the glass, to allow a significant translation of the adapter along this third extension.
Selon une autre caractéristique, la troisième extension est constituée d'une partie sensiblement cylindrique, ce qui facilite l'introduction de la troisième extension entre les deux parties formant pince et constituant la seconde extension.According to another characteristic, the third extension is constituted of a substantially cylindrical part, which facilitates the introduction of the third extension between the two parts forming a clamp and constituting the second extension.
Les surfaces de contact de la seconde extension de l'adaptateur et celles de la troisième extension du curseur sont avantageusement munies de dents sensiblement verticales.The contact surfaces of the second extension of the adapter and those of the third extension of the cursor are advantageously provided substantially vertical teeth.
Cette caractéristique permet d'augmenter la force de maintien du curseur dans la seconde extension en forme de pince par action des dents des deux extensions s'imbriquant les unes dans les autres.This characteristic makes it possible to increase the holding force of the cursor in the second clip-like extension by action of the teeth of the two extensions overlapping each other.
Les dents réalisées sur la troisième extension du curseur peuvent être constituées par un filetage, ce qui permet de pouvoir utiliser un élément rapporté audit curseur.The teeth made on the third extension of the cursor can be formed by a thread, which allows to use an element reported to said cursor.
Au moins l'une des faces de la première extension est munie de dents sensiblement horizontales, et au moins une surface de la première surface de contact et/ou de la seconde surface de contact, en regard de la face de la première extension est munie de dents, sensiblement parallèles aux dents de la première extension.At least one of the faces of the first extension is provided with substantially horizontal teeth, and at least one surface of the first contact surface and / or the second contact surface, facing the face of the first extension is provided with teeth, substantially parallel to the teeth of the first extension.
Cette caractéristique permet d'augmenter la force de maintien dudit adaptateur entre les surfaces de contact, par pression entre les dents, grâce au moyen de fixation, et limite la possibilité d'arrachage de l'adaptateur du système de maintien. This characteristic makes it possible to increase the holding force of said adapter between the contact surfaces, by pressure between the teeth, thanks to the fixing means, and limits the possibility of tearing off the support system adapter.
La forme particulière des dents permet l'accrochage de la première extension entre le curseur et l'élément d'emprisonnement et empêche le décrochage accidentel de la première extension.The particular shape of the teeth allows the attachment of the first extension between the cursor and the imprisonment element and prevents the accidental stall of the first extension.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, le curseur est muni d'une languette et l'élément d'emprisonnement est percé d'un trou pour permettre le passage de ladite languette. Cette caractéristique facilite le pré-maintien de l'élément d'emprisonnement par le curseur avant la fixation définitive par ledit moyen de fixation.According to a particular characteristic, the cursor is provided with a tab and the locking element is pierced with a hole to allow the passage of said tongue. This characteristic facilitates pre-maintenance of the element of imprisonment by the cursor before the final fixing by said fixing means.
Le curseur est percé d'au moins un premier trou pour permettre le passage du moyen de fixation vers l'élément d'emprisonnement.The cursor is pierced with at least a first hole to allow the passage of the fastening means towards the imprisonment element.
L'ensemble, constitué par un curseur et un élément d'emprisonnement, peut être réalisé en une seule pièce. La mobilité de l'élément d'emprisonnement en pivotement par rapport au curseur est réalisée grâce à l'élasticité et à la forme de la liaison dudit élément d'emprisonnement avec ledit curseur. Ceci a l'avantage de réduire le nombre de composants et de faciliter la mise en place de l'élément d'emprisonnement par rapport au curseur.The set, consisting of a cursor and an element imprisonment, can be done in one piece. The mobility of the imprisonment element in pivoting relative to the cursor is achieved by the elasticity and the shape of the connection of said element imprisonment with said cursor. This has the advantage of reducing the number of components and facilitate the installation of the element imprisonment relative to the cursor.
L'adaptateur est percé d'un évidement, situé en face du premier trou du curseur, pour permettre le passage du moyen de fixation.The adapter has a recess, located opposite the first hole of the cursor, to allow the passage of the fixing means.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, l'élément d'emprisonnement est percé d'au moins un second trou préférablement situé en face du premier trou du curseur pour permettre le passage du moyen de fixation. L'élément d'emprisonnement peut aussi être percé sur sa face extérieure d'un troisième trou, situé dans le prolongement de l'évidement de l'adaptateur, pour y loger et maintenir une partie du moyen de fixation. En particulier, le troisième trou peut présenter la forme d'un écrou, dans le cas où les systèmes de fixation seraient des systèmes vis-écrou, la vis étant accessible du côté sec de la porte de véhicule.According to a particular characteristic, the element of imprisonment is drilled with at least one second hole preferably located opposite the first hole of the cursor to allow the passage of the fixing means. The imprisonment element can also be pierced on its outer face a third hole, located in the extension of the recess of the adapter, to accommodate and maintain part of the fixing means therein. In particular, the third hole may have the shape of a nut, in the case where the fastening systems would be screw-nut systems, the screw being accessible from the dry side of the vehicle door.
Dans le cas où le moyen de fixation est constitué d'une vis auto-taraudeuse, cette vis passera dans le premier trou et se vissera dans le second trou. Ce type de vis permet de réduire le nombre de composants.In the case where the fixing means consists of a self-tapping screw, this screw will pass in the first hole and will be screwed in the second hole. This type of screw makes it possible to reduce the number of components.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le curseur est muni de butées qui servent d'appui au bord inférieur de la première extension de l'adaptateur lors de la mise en place de l'adaptateur et donc de la vitre sur le curseur. Un autre avantage lorsqu'il y a au moins deux systèmes selon l'invention par vitre, c'est que l'un des adaptateurs vient en butée sur le curseur correspondant, alors que l'autre adaptateur n'est pas forcément en butée sur le second curseur, ce qui permet le rattrapage du jeu angulaire dans le plan de la vitre.According to another characteristic, the cursor is provided with stops which support the lower edge of the first extension of the adapter when fitting the adapter and therefore the glass on the slider. Another advantage when there are at least two systems according to the invention per window is that one of the adapters comes to a stop on the slider corresponding, while the other adapter is not necessarily in abutment on the second slider, which allows the angular play in the plane of the window.
Un autre avantage de l'invention consiste dans le fait que le moyen de fixation peut être mis en position par un côté ou par l'autre par rapport à la vitre.Another advantage of the invention consists in the fact that the means can be positioned on one side or the other with respect to the window.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront à la
lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif,
description faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :
Sur la figure 1 qui représente l'invention dans son environnement, on peut identifier une porte de véhicule (1) munie de façon classique de deux rails (2a, 2b), sur lesquels viennent coulisser les curseurs (3a, 3b), et des adaptateurs (4a, 4b) sur lesquels est montée une vitre (10). In FIG. 1 which represents the invention in its environment, we can identify a vehicle door (1) conventionally provided with two rails (2a, 2b), on which slide the sliders (3a, 3b), and adapters (4a, 4b) on which a window (10) is mounted.
La vitre est préalablement fixée sur des adaptateurs (4a, 4b), par exemple par serrage et/ou par clipsage et/ou par collage, puis ces adaptateurs sont engagés dans les curseurs (3a, 3b). Pour mettre la vitre (10) en position, le manipulateur met la vitre (10) en butée contre le montant (6) vertical de la porte (1), en poussant la vitre (10) dans le sens de la flèche (7a), c'est-à-dire, vers la droite sur la figure 1. Le manipulateur déplace alors la vitre (10) vers le haut, grâce à un dispositif d'entraínement classique, non représenté, et constitué en particulier de câbles et d'un moteur. Lors de la montée de la vitre (10), les adaptateurs (4a, 4b) peuvent coulisser par rapport auxdits curseurs (3a, 3b) horizontalement et parallèlement à la porte (1) dans le sens de la flèche (7b), opposé à celui de la flèche (7a).The glass is previously fixed on adapters (4a, 4b), by example by clamping and / or by clipping and / or by gluing, then these adapters are engaged in the sliders (3a, 3b). To put the glass (10) in position, the manipulator abuts the window (10) against the upright (6) vertical of the door (1), by pushing the window (10) in the direction of the arrow (7a), that is to say, to the right in FIG. 1. The manipulator then moves the glass (10) upwards, thanks to a drive device conventional, not shown, and made up in particular of cables and a engine. When the window (10) is raised, the adapters (4a, 4b) can sliding relative to said sliders (3a, 3b) horizontally and parallel to the door (1) in the direction of the arrow (7b), opposite to that of the arrow (7a).
Les rails (2a, 2b) sont légèrement inclinés par rapport au montant vertical (6) de la porte (1), l'angle inclus entre un rail (2a ou 2b) et le montant (6) comportant un sommet situé au-dessus de la porte (1). Ainsi, la vitre (10) est sollicitée contre le montant vertical (6) lors de sa montée. La vitre (10) est alors poussée par ledit montant vertical (6) vers la gauche dans le sens de la flèche (7b). En effet, la force de réaction exercée par le montant vertical (6) sur la vitre selon l'invention est supérieure à la force de retenue exercée par une structure spéciale du système selon l'invention, ce qui permet le coulissement horizontal de la vitre. Lorsque la vitre vient en butée contre le montant horizontal (5) de la porte, on peut dire qu'elle est dans sa position définitive.The rails (2a, 2b) are slightly inclined relative to the upright vertical (6) of the door (1), the angle included between a rail (2a or 2b) and the upright (6) having a top located above the door (1). So, the window (10) is urged against the vertical upright (6) when it is mounted. The window (10) is then pushed by said vertical upright (6) to the left in the direction of the arrow (7b). Indeed, the reaction force exerted by the vertical upright (6) on the window according to the invention is greater than the force of restraint exerted by a special structure of the system according to the invention, this which allows the horizontal sliding of the glass. When the glass comes in stop against the horizontal upright (5) of the door, we can say that it is in its final position.
Dans cette position haute, une barre de renfort (8) de la porte (1) empêche parfois l'accès aux moyens de fixation, non représentés sur cette vue. La vitre doit donc être abaissée de quelques centimètres pour que les dits moyens de fixation deviennent accessibles au manipulateur, à travers des perçages (6a, 6b) réalisés dans les rails (2a, 2b) ; lesdits moyens de fixation sont alors fixés définitivement. Lors de cette descente, la vitre ne subit aucun effort dans le sens de la flèche (7b), car il n'y a plus d'action dudit montant vertical (6) sur la vitre (10), et la structure spéciale selon l'invention permet un maintien de la vitre dans sa position optimale, définie par sa position haute. In this high position, a reinforcement bar (8) of the door (1) sometimes prevents access to the fixing means, not shown on this view. The window must therefore be lowered a few centimeters so that the said fixing means become accessible to the manipulator, through holes (6a, 6b) made in the rails (2a, 2b); said means of fixation are then permanently fixed. During this descent, the window does not undergoes no effort in the direction of the arrow (7b), because there is no more action of said vertical upright (6) on the window (10), and the special structure according to the invention allows the glass to be held in its optimal, defined position by its high position.
Sur la figure 2, est représenté un adaptateur (4a ou 4b) collé à la vitre (10) qui repose sur un épaulement horizontal (11a) prévu entre une paroi supérieure (11b) et une paroi inférieure (11c) de l'adaptateur (4a, 4b). La paroi inférieure (11c) de l'adaptateur (4a, 4b) est prolongée vers le bas par une première extension (12) sensiblement verticale comprenant deux faces parallèles (12a, 12b) munies de dents horizontales (17), pour améliorer la tenue de l'adaptateur (4a, 4b) sur le curseur correspondant (3a ou 3b), après la fixation finale de la vitre (10). L'extension inférieure ou première extension (12) comprend un évidement (15) pour permettre le passage d'un moyen de fixation décrit ultérieurement et se situe sensiblement dans le prolongement de la vitre (10), cette extension (12) se terminant par un bord inférieur (16).FIG. 2 shows an adapter (4a or 4b) glued to the window (10) which rests on a horizontal shoulder (11a) provided between a upper wall (11b) and a lower wall (11c) of the adapter (4a, 4b). The lower wall (11c) of the adapter (4a, 4b) is extended downwards by a first substantially vertical extension (12) comprising two parallel faces (12a, 12b) provided with horizontal teeth (17), for improve the holding of the adapter (4a, 4b) on the corresponding slider (3a or 3b), after the final fixing of the window (10). The lower extension or first extension (12) includes a recess (15) to allow the passage of a fixing means described later and is located substantially in the extension of the window (10), this extension (12) is ending with a lower edge (16).
L'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) comprend une seconde extension (13) s'étendant horizontalement, par exemple, vers la gauche de la figure 2, dans le prolongement de la paroi supérieure (11b) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) et est constituée de deux parties (13a, 13b), formant une pince. Sur les faces intérieures de cette pince (13a, 13b) sont ménagées des dents verticales (14) qui augmentent la force de maintien de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) sur le curseur (3a ou 3b). Situés au bas des deux parties (13a, 13b) de la seconde extension (13), sont prévus des crochets (18a, 18b) qui servent à maintenir l'adaptateur accroché au curseur lors de la descente du système avant sa fixation définitive.The adapter (4a or 4b) includes a second extension (13) extending horizontally, for example, to the left of Figure 2, in the extension of the upper wall (11b) of the adapter (4a or 4b) and consists of two parts (13a, 13b), forming a clamp. On the inner faces of this clamp (13a, 13b) are provided with teeth vertical (14) which increase the holding force of the adapter (4a or 4b) on the cursor (3a or 3b). Located at the bottom of the two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13), are provided hooks (18a, 18b) which serve keep the adapter attached to the slider when lowering the system before final fixing.
Sur les figures 3 et 6, est représenté un curseur (3a ou 3b) selon l'invention. Ce curseur (3a ou 3b) comprend une paroi verticale (37) et deux blocs de guidage verticaux superposés (38a, 38b) solidaires de ladite paroi (37).In FIGS. 3 and 6, a cursor (3a or 3b) is represented according to the invention. This cursor (3a or 3b) comprises a vertical wall (37) and two superimposed vertical guide blocks (38a, 38b) integral with said wall (37).
La paroi verticale (37) comprend aussi, sur l'autre côté par rapport aux blocs (38a, 38b), une surface de contact (35) sur laquelle ont été réalisées des dents horizontales (39) destinées à coopérer avec les dents (17) de la face verticale (12b) de la première extension (12) lors de la fixation définitive. Dans la zone inférieure et en dessous des dents (39), la paroi (37) présente des butées latérales (36) qui sont en saillie par rapport à ladite paroi (37) et contre lesquelles porte l'extrémité inférieure (16) de la première extension (12) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) lors du montage, comme indiqué sur la figure 6. Une languette centrale (34) de préférence élastique et solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure de la paroi (37) est située à un niveau inférieur à celui des butées (36) et sert au pré-maintien d'un élément d'emprisonnement (40) sur le curseur (3a ou 3b), comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5. Un perçage (33) ménagé dans la partie centrale de la paroi (37) permet le passage d'un moyen de fixation (50, 51). Lorsque le moyen de fixation est constitué par une vis, ce perçage (33) doit être de diamètre suffisant pour permettre le débattement angulaire de la vis (51) lors du serrage, comme ceci est représenté sur la figure 6.The vertical wall (37) also comprises, on the other side with respect to to the blocks (38a, 38b), a contact surface (35) on which have been made of horizontal teeth (39) intended to cooperate with the teeth (17) of the vertical face (12b) of the first extension (12) during the final fixation. In the lower area and below the teeth (39), the wall (37) has lateral stops (36) which project from said wall (37) and against which bears the lower end (16) of the first extension (12) of the adapter (4a or 4b) during assembly, as indicated in Figure 6. A central tongue (34) preferably elastic and integral with the lower end of the wall (37) is located at a level lower than that of the stops (36) and is used to pre-maintain an element imprisonment (40) on the cursor (3a or 3b), as we can see on Figure 5. A hole (33) formed in the central part of the wall (37) allows the passage of a fixing means (50, 51). When the means of fixing is constituted by a screw, this hole (33) must be of diameter sufficient to allow the angular movement of the screw (51) during tightening, as shown in figure 6.
Les blocs de guidage (38a et 38b) ont pour rôle principal de lier le curseur (3a ou 3b) au rail correspondant (2a ou 2b) et de guider le curseur (3a ou 3b) le long de ce dernier. A cet effet, chacun des blocs superposés (38a, 38b) présente un logement de guidage (32) dans lequel est introduit un rail correspondant (2a ou 2b) de sorte que le curseur (3a ou 3b) peut coulisser librement le long dudit rail en étant entraíné par un câble moteur non représenté, qui vient se fixer de façon classique sur l'un des blocs superposés (38a ou 38b).The main role of the guide blocks (38a and 38b) is to link the cursor (3a or 3b) to the corresponding rail (2a or 2b) and guide the cursor (3a or 3b) along the latter. For this purpose, each of the superimposed blocks (38a, 38b) has a guide housing (32) into which is introduced a corresponding rail (2a or 2b) so that the cursor (3a or 3b) can slide freely along said rail while being driven by a motor cable not shown, which is fixed in a conventional manner on one of the blocks superimposed (38a or 38b).
Le bloc supérieur (38a), c'est-à-dire le curseur (3a ou 3b), comporte une extension horizontale (31), dite troisième extension, qui s'étend, sur la figure 3, vers la gauche dans le sens longitudinal de la vitre (10). Cette troisième extension (31) a une forme sensiblement cylindrique et se situe au moins approximativement dans la prolongation horizontale du plan de la paroi (37). Cette extension cylindrique (31) également dénommée « troisième extension » porte du même côté que les dents (39) de la paroi (37) de dents verticales (43) qui coopèrent avec les dents internes (14) des deux parties (13a, 13b) de la seconde extension (13) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) avant le montage définitif.The upper block (38a), that is to say the cursor (3a or 3b), comprises a horizontal extension (31), called the third extension, which extends over the Figure 3, to the left in the longitudinal direction of the window (10). This third extension (31) has a substantially cylindrical shape and is located at least approximately in the horizontal extension of the plane of the wall (37). This cylindrical extension (31) also called "Third extension" carries on the same side as the teeth (39) of the wall (37) of vertical teeth (43) which cooperate with the internal teeth (14) of two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13) of the adapter (4a or 4b) before final assembly.
Pour cette troisième extension (31), a été choisie une forme cylindrique mais d'autres formes peuvent être adoptées pourvu qu'elles permettent une translation horizontale de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) par rapport au curseur correspondant (3a ou 3b). For this third extension (31), a form has been chosen cylindrical but other shapes can be adopted provided they allow a horizontal translation of the adapter (4a or 4b) relative to the corresponding cursor (3a or 3b).
Une autre extension, identique à l'extension (31), peut être disposée symétriquement de l'autre côté du curseur (3a ou 3b). Cette autre extension permet, en cas de problème de tolérances, qu'au moins une des deux extensions (31) puisse se clipser dans l'une des deux pinces, constituées chacune par les deux parties (13a, 13b) de la seconde extension (13) qui, dans ce cas particulier, est prévue en double respectivement sur chaque extrémité latérale de la paroi supérieure (11b) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b).Another extension, identical to extension (31), can be arranged symmetrically on the other side of the cursor (3a or 3b). This other extension allows, in case of tolerance problem, that at least one of the two extensions (31) can be clipped into one of the two clamps, made up each by the two parts (13a, 13b) of the second extension (13) which, in this particular case, is provided in duplicate respectively on each lateral end of the upper wall (11b) of the adapter (4a or 4b).
Les dents (43), ménagées sur l'extension cylindrique (31), sont sensiblement verticales, mais elles peuvent prendre des formes particulières comme par exemple la forme d'un filetage.The teeth (43), formed on the cylindrical extension (31), are noticeably vertical, but they can take shapes particular as for example the shape of a thread.
La figure 4 représente un élément d'emprisonnement (40) qui, en section verticale, montre le forme d'un L avec une aile verticale importante et une aile horizontale de faible longueur approximativement égale à l'épaisseur de l'aile verticale, cette aile horizontale se plaçant en dessous des butées (36) du curseur (3a ou 3b), lorsque ce dernier est rapproché de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40). Dans la partie centrale de l'extrémité inférieure de l'élément (40), l'aile horizontale de ce dernier est interrompue et l'aile verticale comporte un trou (42) de section rectangulaire destiné à recevoir la languette horizontale (34) du curseur (3a ou 3b). La paroi verticale de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40) comporte, dans sa zone approximativement centrale, un trou cylindrique (44), coïncidant globalement avec le perçage (33) du curseur (3a ou 3b) de façon à permettre le passage d'un moyen de fixation (50) comprenant notamment une vis (51). Selon l'exemple représenté, le moyen de fixation (50) comprend aussi un écrou (46) inséré dans un évidement (45) de l'élément (40), non visible à cause de l'écrou, ledit évidement (45) ayant la forme de l'écrou (46), qui est maintenu en place lors du serrage de l'élément (40) en direction de la paroi (37) du curseur (3a ou 3b).FIG. 4 represents a prison element (40) which, in vertical section, shows the shape of an L with a large vertical wing and a short horizontal wing approximately equal to the thickness of the vertical wing, this horizontal wing being placed below stops (36) of the cursor (3a or 3b), when the latter is close to the imprisonment element (40). In the central part of the end lower part of the element (40), the horizontal wing of the latter is interrupted and the vertical wing has a hole (42) of rectangular section intended to receive the horizontal tab (34) of the cursor (3a or 3b). Wall vertical of the imprisonment element (40) comprises, in its zone approximately central, a cylindrical hole (44), coinciding overall with the hole (33) of the cursor (3a or 3b) so as to allow the passage of a fixing means (50) comprising in particular a screw (51). According to the example shown, the fixing means (50) also includes a nut (46) inserted into a recess (45) of the element (40), not visible because of the nut, said recess (45) having the shape of the nut (46), which is held in place when the element (40) is tightened in direction of the wall (37) of the cursor (3a or 3b).
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le moyen de fixation (50) comprend une vis auto-taraudeuse. Dans ce cas, l'écrou (46) et son logement constitué par l'évidement (45) n'existent pas et le diamètre du trou (44) est choisi pour permettre l'engagement et l'accrochage de la vis (51) dans ledit trou (44). According to an advantageous embodiment, the fixing means (50) includes a self-tapping screw. In this case, the nut (46) and its housing formed by the recess (45) does not exist and the diameter of the hole (44) is chosen to allow engagement and attachment of the screw (51) in said hole (44).
La surface de contact intérieur (41) de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40) représenté sur la figure 6, est lisse pour augmenter la pression exercée par ce dernier sur l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b), mais cette surface de contact intérieur (41) peut être aussi munie de dents identiques aux dents (39) du curseur (3a ou 3b), ou bien elle peut être aussi la seule à être munie de dents alors que la face de contact (35) de la paroi verticale (37) du curseur (3a ou 3b) reste lisse.The inner contact surface (41) of the confinement element (40) shown in Figure 6, is smooth to increase the pressure exerted by the latter on the adapter (4a or 4b), but this contact surface interior (41) can also be provided with teeth identical to the teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b), or it can also be the only one to be provided with teeth while the contact face (35) of the vertical wall (37) of the cursor (3a or 3b) remains smooth.
La figure 5 représente le pré-assemblage du curseur (3a ou 3b) et de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40). Le moyen de fixation (50), dont on aperçoit ici l'écrou (46) et l'extrémité de la vis (51), et l'introduction de la languette (34) du curseur (3a ou 3b) dans le trou de section rectangulaire (42) de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40) permettent un pré-maintien ou pré-assemblage des deux éléments, curseur (3a ou 3b) et élément d'emprisonnement (40). La vis (51) n'est pas encore vissée complètement dans l'écrou (46) pour permettre l'introduction de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) entre les deux surfaces de contact (35, 41) respectivement du curseur et de l'élément d'emprisonnement. La vis (51) passe dans ce cas à travers le trou ou échancrure (15) de l'adaptateur, ledit trou présentant à cet effet une ouverture vers le bas et étant délimité par des faces en forme de U renversé.Figure 5 shows the pre-assembly of the cursor (3a or 3b) and of the imprisonment element (40). The fixing means (50), which here sees the nut (46) and the end of the screw (51), and the introduction of the tab (34) of the cursor (3a or 3b) in the hole of rectangular section (42) of the imprisonment element (40) allow pre-maintenance or pre-assembly of the two elements, cursor (3a or 3b) and element imprisonment (40). The screw (51) is not yet completely screwed in the nut (46) to allow the introduction of the adapter (4a or 4b) between the two contact surfaces (35, 41) of the cursor and of respectively the element of imprisonment. The screw (51) in this case passes through the hole or notch (15) of the adapter, said hole having for this purpose a opening downward and being delimited by U-shaped faces reversed.
A ce stade, on peut imaginer que les deux éléments, le curseur (3a ou 3b) et l'élément d'emprisonnement (40), constituent un ensemble ajustable et souple à l'endroit de la liaison entre le curseur et l'élément d'emprisonnement.At this point, we can imagine that the two elements, the cursor (3a or 3b) and the imprisonment element (40), constitute a set adjustable and flexible at the point of connection between the cursor and the element imprisonment.
La figure 6 représente le système en position pré-assemblée, l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) étant introduit dans l'espace entre les surfaces de contact (35, 41) du curseur (3a ou 3b) et de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40). L'extension cylindrique (31) du curseur (3a ou 3b) est clipsé entre les parois ou parties verticales (13a, 13b) formant pince et constituant la seconde extension (13) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b). Les crochets (18a, 18b) de l'extension (13) coopèrent avec l'extension cylindrique (31) pour maintenir l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) en position par rapport au curseur (3a ou 3b) lors de la descente de la vitre (10) avant sa fixation définitive. Le bord inférieur (16) de la première extension verticale (12) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) vient en contact avec les butées inférieures (36) du curseur (3a ou 3b). On remarque aussi la vis (51) qui est inclinée d'un angle donné par l'élément d'emprisonnement (40), d'où l'intérêt de prévoir, dans le curseur, un perçage (33) suffisamment grand, dans le sens vertical, pour permettre le débattement angulaire dudit élément (40).FIG. 6 represents the system in the pre-assembled position, the adapter (4a or 4b) being introduced into the space between the surfaces of contact (35, 41) of the cursor (3a or 3b) and of the imprisonment element (40). The cylindrical extension (31) of the cursor (3a or 3b) is clipped between the vertical walls or parts (13a, 13b) forming a clamp and constituting the second extension (13) of the adapter (4a or 4b). The hooks (18a, 18b) of the extension (13) cooperate with the cylindrical extension (31) to hold the adapter (4a or 4b) in position relative to the cursor (3a or 3b) during the descent of the window (10) before its final fixing. The edge lower (16) of the first vertical extension (12) of the adapter (4a or 4b) comes into contact with the lower stops (36) of the cursor (3a or 3b). We also notice the screw (51) which is inclined at an angle given by the imprisonment element (40), hence the advantage of providing, in the cursor, a hole (33) large enough, in the vertical direction, to allow the angular movement of said element (40).
Dans le cas où il n'y a qu'un seul système par vitre (10), le bord inférieur (16) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) vient en contact avec les butées (36) du curseur (3a ou 3b). Mais en général, il y a deux systèmes par vitre (10), un à l'avant et l'autre à l'arrière dans le sens longitudinal de la vitre (10). Dans ce cas, il est possible que l'un des adaptateurs vienne en contact avec les butées (36), alors que l'autre n'y soit pas. Ceci permet de rattraper un jeu angulaire dans le plan de la vitre (10).In the case where there is only one system per window (10), the edge lower (16) of the adapter (4a or 4b) comes into contact with the stops (36) of the cursor (3a or 3b). But in general, there are two systems per window (10), one at the front and one at the rear in the longitudinal direction of the window (10). In this case, one of the adapters may come in contact with the stops (36), while the other is not there. This allows make up for angular play in the plane of the window (10).
La figure 7 représente le système dans sa position de fonctionnement final. Le moyen de fixation (50) est actionné jusqu'à sa position de serrage final et les surfaces de contact des différents éléments viennent alors en contact l'une avec l'autre, ce qui permet la fixation définitive de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) entre le curseur (3a ou 3b) et l'élément d'emprisonnement (40).Figure 7 shows the system in its position of final operation. The fixing means (50) is actuated until it final clamping position and the contact surfaces of the various elements then come into contact with each other, which allows fixing the adapter (4a or 4b) between the cursor (3a or 3b) and the element imprisonment (40).
La figure 8 représente une variante des formes de dents utilisable dans le système selon l'invention, en particulier en ce qui concerne la forme des dents (39) du curseur (3a ou 3b), et celles des dents (17) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b). Des dents de forme triangulaire ont besoin du même effort pour mettre l'adaptateur en place ou pour le retirer, ce qui peut poser des problèmes lorsque l'on descend la vitre (10), avant la fixation définitive. En effet, la vitre (10) peut être coincée dans le joint situé le long de l'armature de la porte. C'est pourquoi il peut être nécessaire de pouvoir augmenter la force d'extraction de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) grâce à une forme particulière des dents.Figure 8 shows a variant of the usable tooth shapes in the system according to the invention, in particular as regards the form teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b), and those of teeth (17) of the adapter (4a or 4b). Triangular teeth need the same effort to put the adapter in place or remove it, which can cause problems when lowering the window (10), before fixing final. Indeed, the glass (10) can be trapped in the seal located along of the door frame. This is why it may be necessary to be able to increase the extraction force of the adapter (4a or 4b) thanks to a shape particular teeth.
Les profils de dents (80a) peuvent remplacer ceux des dents (17) de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) et les profils (80b) peuvent remplacer ceux des dents (39) du curseur (3a ou 3b) et/ou de l'élément d'emprisonnement (40). Les pentes (81 et 82) des dents (80a et 80b) coopèrent pour faciliter la mise en place de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b), alors que les faces horizontales (83 et 84) des dents (80a et 80b) coopèrent pour empêcher le retrait accidentel de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) avant la fixation finale, ce retrait pouvant intervenir par exemple si la vitre (10) se bloque dans les joints de la porte.The tooth profiles (80a) can replace those of the teeth (17) of the adapter (4a or 4b) and the profiles (80b) can replace those of the teeth (39) of the cursor (3a or 3b) and / or of the imprisonment element (40). The slopes (81 and 82) of the teeth (80a and 80b) cooperate to facilitate setting in place of the adapter (4a or 4b), while the horizontal faces (83 and 84) teeth (80a and 80b) cooperate to prevent accidental removal of the adapter (4a or 4b) before final fixing, this removal may occur for example if the window (10) gets stuck in the door seals.
On décrira, ci-après, brièvement le mode de fonctionnement du système de positionnement et d'assemblage d'une vitre (10) sur un lève-vitre, cette description étant faite plus particulièrement en référence à la figure 1.We will briefly describe below the operating mode of the positioning and assembly system for a window (10) on a window regulator, this description being made more particularly with reference to the figure 1.
Dans la porte de véhicule (1), sont prévus de façon classique deux rails (2a, 2b) sur lesquels coulissent deux curseurs (3a, 3b) auxquels sont attachés des câbles passant par un jeu de poulies et entraínés par un moteur non représenté.In the vehicle door (1), there are conventionally provided two rails (2a, 2b) on which two sliders (3a, 3b) slide which are attached cables passing through a set of pulleys and driven by a motor not shown.
Comme précédemment indiqué, la vitre (10) est préalablement fixée sur des adaptateurs (4a, 4b), par exemple par serrage et/ou par clipsage et/ou par collage, puis ces adaptateurs sont engagés dans les curseurs (3a, 3b). Pour mettre la vitre (10) en position, le manipulateur met la vitre (10) en butée contre le montant (6) vertical de la porte (1), en poussant la vitre (10) dans le sens de la flèche (7a), c'est-à-dire, vers la droite sur la figure 1. Le manipulateur déplace alors la vitre (10) vers le haut, grâce à un système d'entraínement classique, non représenté, et constitué en particulier de câbles et d'un moteur. Lors de la montée de la vitre (10), les adaptateurs (4a, 4b) peuvent coulisser par rapport auxdits curseurs (3a, 3b) horizontalement et parallèlement à la porte (1) dans le sens de la flèche (7b), opposé à celui de la flèche (7a).As previously indicated, the window (10) is previously fixed on adapters (4a, 4b), for example by clamping and / or by clipping and / or by gluing, then these adapters are engaged in the sliders (3a, 3b). To put the glass (10) in position, the manipulator puts the glass (10) in stop against the vertical upright (6) of the door (1), by pushing the window (10) in the direction of the arrow (7a), that is to say, to the right in FIG. 1. The manipulator then moves the window (10) upwards, thanks to a system of classical training, not shown, and in particular consisting of cables and a motor. When the window (10) is raised, the adapters (4a, 4b) can slide relative to said sliders (3a, 3b) horizontally and parallel to the door (1) in the direction of the arrow (7b), opposite that of the arrow (7a).
Les rails (2a, 2b) sont légèrement inclinés par rapport au montant vertical (6) de la porte (1), l'angle inclus entre un rail (2a ou 2b) et le montant (6) comportant un sommet situé au-dessus de la porte (1). Ainsi, la vitre (10) est sollicitée contre le montant vertical (6) lors de sa montée. La vitre (10) est alors poussée par ledit montant vertical (6) dans le sens de la flèche (7b). En effet, la force de réaction exercée par le montant vertical (6) sur la vitre (10) est supérieure à la force de retenue exercée par la seconde extension (13) sur l'extension cylindrique (31), ce qui permet le coulissement de l'adaptateur (4a ou 4b) et donc de la vitre (10). Lorsque la vitre vient en butée contre le montant horizontal (5) de la porte (1), on peut dire qu'elle a été ajustée dans sa position définitive.The rails (2a, 2b) are slightly inclined relative to the upright vertical (6) of the door (1), the angle included between a rail (2a or 2b) and the upright (6) having a top located above the door (1). So, the window (10) is urged against the vertical upright (6) when it is mounted. The window (10) is then pushed by said vertical upright (6) in the direction of the arrow (7b). Indeed, the reaction force exerted by the vertical upright (6) on the glass (10) is greater than the retaining force exerted by the second extension (13) on the cylindrical extension (31), which allows the sliding of the adapter (4a or 4b) and therefore of the window (10). When the window comes into abutment against the horizontal upright (5) of the door (1), you can say it has been adjusted to its final position.
Dans cette position haute, une barre de renfort (8) de la porte (1) empêche parfois l'accès aux moyens de fixation (50), non représentés sur cette vue. La vitre (10) doit donc être abaissée de quelques centimètres pour que lesdits moyens de fixation deviennent accessibles au manipulateur, à travers des perçages (6a, 6b) réalisés dans les rails (2a, 2b), lesdits moyens de fixation (50) étant alors fixés définitivement. Lors de cette descente, la vitre (10) ne subit aucun effort dans le sens de la flèche (7b), car il n'y a plus d'action du montant vertical (6) sur la vitre (10), et l'action de l'extension (13) sur l'extension cylindrique (31) permet un maintien de la vitre (10) dans sa position optimale, définie par sa position haute et les crochets (18a, 18b), représentés sur la figure 2, permettent, par leur action sur l'extension (31), l'entraínement de ladite vitre (10) et de ses adaptateurs (4a, 4b) par les curseurs (3a, 3b).In this high position, a reinforcement bar (8) of the door (1) sometimes prevents access to the fixing means (50), not shown on this view. The window (10) must therefore be lowered by a few centimeters so that said fixing means become accessible to manipulator, through holes (6a, 6b) made in the rails (2a, 2b), said fixing means (50) then being permanently fixed. During this descent, the window (10) undergoes no effort in the direction of the arrow (7b), because there is no longer any action of the vertical upright (6) on the window (10), and the action of the extension (13) on the cylindrical extension (31) allows a holding the window (10) in its optimal position, defined by its position high and the hooks (18a, 18b), shown in Figure 2, allow, by their action on the extension (31), the drive of said window (10) and its adapters (4a, 4b) by the sliders (3a, 3b).
Le mode de réalisation décrit peut subir un certain nombre de modifications à la portée de l'homme du métier sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de protection défini par les revendications annexées et eu égard à la description et aux dessins.The embodiment described can undergo a certain number of modifications within the reach of a person skilled in the art without leaving it for as much of the protective framework defined by the appended claims and had with regard to description and drawings.
