Definitions
- This invention relates to an opening switch for the doors or rear hatches of vehicles, of the type which the user operates manually to cause the door latch to open after the latch has been released through the corresponding locking mechanism.
- Switches which are used in the rear hatches and side doors of vehicles comprising a body enclosed beneath by a flexible membrane, especially of elastomer material, are known. When the user presses on the flexible membrane with his fingers it causes the latch of the lock to open (cf. DE-A-100 20 172 ).
- a switch of this type comprises a lever operating a microswitch; the said lever can be moved between two positions, a first open position in which it is separated from the said microswitch and a second closed position in which it is in contact with the said microswitch when the user presses on the flexible membrane, and when the pressure ceases it returns to its initial resting position as a result of elastic return means.
- the object of he switch for opening the doors or rear hatches of a vehicle according to claim 1 of this invention is to overcome the disadvantages presented by the switches known in the art, providing a switch which is easier to assemble and is of lower cost.
- the opening switch for the doors or rear hatches of a vehicle comprises elastic return means which comprise at least two flexible spring members of plastics material incorporated with the operating lever as a single part.
- the elastic return means comprise spring members in the form of curved wings incorporated into a zone close to the centre of the said operating lever which extend to the extremities thereof.
- the elastic return means comprise two spring members in the shape of curved springs incorporated into a zone close to the extremities of the said operating lever and which extend to the centre thereof.
- the elastic return means comprise two spring members in the form of bellows incorporated in zones close to the extremities of the said operating lever.
- the microswitch and the operating lever with the incorporated springs are housed within a body which is closed by a flexible membrane on which a user presses to cause the operating lever to move from the said first position to the said second position.
- the switch comprises a cover connected to the body.
- the cover comprises tangs on its outer surface for connection with matching openings made in the body.
- the body comprises clips on its upper surface which connect with matching openings made in the cover. Likewise this comprises a perimetral seal fitted between the cover and the body.
- This structural configuration is appropriate when it is necessary to seal the switch against water or moisture originating from the interior of the vehicle or the switch embellisher.
- the cover is moulded onto the assembly comprising the cable ends connected to the two metal blades soldered to the microswitch.
- the body comprises tangs on its outer surface for mounting on the frame of the door or rear hatch of the vehicle.
- the elastic return means comprise springs in the form of curved U-shaped wings, these wings being incorporated at one extremity into a zone close to the centre of the said operating lever and joined together at the other extremity by means of a bar provided with supporting clips for connection to matching openings made in a printed circuit board.
- microswitch is located on the printed circuit board, this printed circuit board being connected within a cover.
- the operating lever is directly connected to the printed circuit board with the help of the supporting clips without transmitting forces to it.
- the operating lever comprises securing members to support ribs located within the cover.
- the operating lever with the incorporated springs and the securing members are housed within a body which is closed by a flexible membrane on which a user presses to cause movement of the operating lever from the said first position to the said second position.
- the body comprises attachment members for attaching it to the cover.
- the part comprising the operating lever and the spring members is of polyoxymethylene (POM) or any elastic plastics such as butyl polyterephthalate (BPT), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), etc.
- POM polyoxymethylene
- BPT butyl polyterephthalate
- PA polyamide
- PP polypropylene
- the operating lever includes a push-button incorporated in the same part designed to come into contact with the microswitch.
- Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of switch 1 for opening the doors or rear hatches of a vehicle.
- Opening switch 1 comprises a body 2 which is closed beneath by a flexible membrane 3 and is closed at the top by a cover 4.
- lever 5 to operate a microswitch 6.
- Said lever 5 can be moved between two positions, a first open position in which it is separated from said microswitch 6 (see Figure 2 ) and a second closed position in which it is in contact with said microswitch 6 (see Figure 3 ).
- Said elastic return means include two flexible spring members 7 of plastics material incorporated with lever 5 as a single part.
- the two spring members 7 have a configuration in the form of curved wings incorporated into a zone close to the centre of said lever 5 and which extend to the extremities thereof.
- the part incorporating lever 5 and spring members 7 is a polyoxymethylene, or any elastic plastics material such as PBT, PP or PA.
- lever 5 includes a press button 8 incorporated into the same part which is intended to come into contact with microswitch 6.
- switch 1 The operation of switch 1 according to the invention is described below:
- cover 4 comprises tangs 9 on its outer surface for connection to matching openings 10 made in body 2.
- body 2 comprises tangs 11 on its outer surface for assembly to the frame of the door or rear hatch of the vehicle.
- Figure 4 illustrates a second embodiment of opening switch 1 according to the invention.
- the elastic return means comprise two spring members 7a in the form of curved wings incorporated into a zone close to the extremities of said lever 5 which extend to the centre thereof.
- Figure 5 illustrates a third embodiment of opening switch 1 according to the invention.
- the elastic return means comprise spring members in the form of bellows 7b which are incorporated in the zones close to the extremities of said lever 5.
- Figures 6 to 8 show a fourth embodiment of the opening switch 1 according to the invention.
- body 2 comprises clips 9a on its outer surface for connection to matching openings 10a made in cover 4. It also includes a perimetral seal 12 fitted between cover 4 and body 2.
- This structural configuration is appropriate when it is necessary to seal the switch against water or moisture proceeding from the interior of the vehicle or the switch embellisher.
- cover 4 is moulded onto the assembly formed by cable ends 13 attached to two metal blades 14 soldered to microswitch 6.
- Figures 9 to 11 show a fifth embodiment of the opening switch 1 according to the invention.
- the elastic return means comprise springs in the form of U-shaped curved wings 7c, these wings 7c being incorporated at one extremity into a zone close to the centre of said operating lever 5 and joined together at the other extremity by means of a bar 15 provided with supporting clips 16 for connection to matching openings made in a printed circuit plate 17.
- Microswitch 6 is located on printed circuit plate 17, this printed circuit plate 17 being connected to the interior of a cover (which is not shown for greater clarity).
- Operating lever 5 also comprises securing members 18 to support ribs located within the interior of the said cover.
- Operating lever 5 with incorporated springs 7c and securing members 18 are housed within a body 2 which is closed by a flexible membrane 3 onto which a user presses to cause operating lever 5 to move from the said first position to the said second position.
- body 2 comprises attachment members 19 for attaching it to the cover.
- the switch is fitted in the following way:
- First printed circuit board 17 is placed within the cover on one side in a longitudinal direction, nesting within the ribs of the said cover.
- operating lever 5 is placed in the lower part of the cover, being securely fixed to printed circuit board 17 through supporting clips 16.
- connection members 19 ensuring that the switch is leaktight.
- the invention provides for other configurations of spring members incorporated in the lever, such as springs of the helical type.
