Definitions

  • vehicle handles normally comprise a fastening structure connected integrally to the inside of a door; and an outside grip hinged to the fastening structure and user-operated to release a lock on the door.
  • Handles which comprise a sensor, in particular an antenna, for detecting the presence of a user about to open the door, and for emitting a relative warning and/or user-recognition signal.
  • the bare sensor is inserted inside a cavity in the grip, and is connected to output wiring for transmitting the signal to a central control unit on the vehicle, which enables release of the lock.
  • an outside vehicle handle comprising a grip defining a grip portion gripped by a user; and user presence detecting means carried by said grip and comprising sensor means at least partly housed in said grip portion and for detecting the presence of said user and emitting a relative output signal, and transmission means for transmitting said output signal; characterized in that said detecting means comprise a protective casing housing said sensor means; and said transmission means being at least partly carried by said protective casing.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates an outside handle (shown partly) for a vehicle side door (not shown).
  • Handle 1 comprises a fastening structure 3 (shown partly and schematically) which is fitted inside and connected integrally to the door in known manner not described in detail.
  • Handle 1 also comprises a grip 4 made of plastic material and, in turn, comprising an intermediate grip portion 5, which is gripped by a user, is elongated along an axis A substantially parallel, in use, to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and defines an axial inner cavity 7.
  • portion 5 defines an opening 9, which is formed along axis A, defines an inlet of cavity 7, and is closed by a wall 11 inserted axially inside opening 9 and fixed in fluidtight manner to portion 5.
  • grip 4 also comprises two end portions 13 and 14, which are formed in one piece with portion 5 and extend through structure 3 from opposite axial ends of portion 5.
  • Portion 14 is connected to a lock (not shown) on the door in known manner not shown, and portion 13 is connected to structure 3 to enable the user to move grip 4 to release the lock.
  • Portion 13 defines a cavity 17 closed by a plug 18 defining, together with portion 13, a channel 20 communicating with cavity 7 and housing wiring 21.
  • Wiring 21 forms part of a detecting device 22 carried by grip 4 and comprising a sensor defined, in particular, by an antenna 24 (shown by the dash line) for detecting the presence of a user about to grip portion 5, and for accordingly emitting a relative output signal.
  • Device 22 also comprises a substantially parallelepiped-shaped casing 26, which houses antenna 24, is in turn housed inside cavity 7, and is formed in a single rigid body 27, preferably of plastic material, or, according to a variation not shown, in two bodies connected in fluidtight manner.
  • the axial end of casing 26 opposite opening 9 defines a surface 30, which is perpendicular to axis A and supports an electric connector 29 (shown schematically) connected in fluidtight manner to body 27 and preferably co-molded with body 27.
  • the connector is connected electrically, on one side, to antenna 24, and, on the other, to a further electric connector 31 (shown schematically) to transmit said output signal.
  • Connector 31 partly defines cavity 7, is connected electrically to wiring 21, and is fixed, e.g. glued, to portion 5 in known manner not described in detail.
  • connectors 29 and 31 are aligned with each other and with opening 9, and are pressed together along axis A.
  • the Figure 2 variation relates to a handle 1 comprising a grip 34, the component parts of which are indicated, where possible, using the same reference numbers as in Figure 1.
  • Grip 34 has no plug 18, i.e. channel 20 is formed entirely through portion 13; and cavity 7 has an elongated inlet opening 39 formed in a lateral face 40 extending along axis A and, in use, facing the body of the door to which handle 1 is fitted.
  • Opening 39 is closed by a wall 41, which is pressed into opening 39, is fixed, e.g. glued, in fluidtight manner to the rest of portion 5 in known manner not described in detail, and, once fixed, forms an extension of face 40.
  • Antenna 24 is housed in a casing 46, which differs from casing 26 substantially by supporting connector 29 on a lateral surface 47 parallel to axis A; and connector 31 is aligned with connector 29 and with opening 39 in a direction B perpendicular to axis A.
  • wall 41 is formed in one piece with a portion of casing 46, so that opening 39 is closed simultaneously with insertion of casing 46 inside cavity 7.
  • wiring 21 and connector 31 are co-molded integrally with grip 4, 34.
  • the Figure 3 variation relates to a handle 1 comprising a grip 54, the component parts of which are indicated, where possible, using the same reference numbers as for grips 4 and 34.
  • Antenna 24 is housed in a casing 56, which differs from casings 26 and 46 by being made of material resistant to relatively high temperature, and by directly supporting wiring 21, which is connected electrically to antenna 24 without connectors 29, 31.
  • Grip 54 is co-molded in one piece, i.e. by placing casing 56 and wiring 21 inside the mold of grip 54, and then injecting the plastic material about casing 56 and wiring 21, without forming any openings or, therefore, respective closing walls or plugs.
  • Casing 26, 46, 56 of handle 1 therefore protects antenna 24 from external agents, such as dust or damp, and from stress produced by the user gripping portion 5, particularly when portion 5 is flexible.
  • casing 26, 46 being airtight; while, in the case of grip 54, this itself defines a further one-piece, airtight casing for also preventing entry of external agents.
  • grips 4, 34 are assembled quickly and easily, by aligned connectors 29, 31 being simply pressed together, and by walls 11, 41 being simply pressed in to close respective openings 9, 39.
  • a sensor other than antenna 24 may be provided to detect the presence of the user and/or to recognize a user-carried identification card; and/or the casing may be other than parallelepiped-shaped, as indicated by way of example.
  • Casing 56 need not necessarily be airtight, and/or electric connecting members differing from those described and illustrated may be provided.
  • a connector may be provided at the outlet of wiring 21, in particular, co-molded with portion 13.
