Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of electrical switches.
  • the present invention relates to the control levers equipping the electrical switches intended to be installed at the top of the steering column on motor vehicles.
  • Such switches are generally used to control sound or light indicators, lighting means, or wiping means and window cleaning.
  • control levers equipping such electrical switches comprise at least one ring mounted to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the handle and usually two concentric control rings rotatably mounted about this longitudinal axis.
  • controllers can be found in the documents FR-A-2,659,488 , FR-A-2,636,148 , FR-A-2,688,622 , FR-A-2,681,468 and FR-A-2,745,944 .
  • Such rings are associated with indexing means designed to define precisely a plurality of stable positions for each of the two control levers 10, 20, where appropriate separated by controlled unstable positions.
  • these indexing means are carried by a plate 30. They comprise two indexing rings 15, 25 biased in the direction respectively of the control rings 10, 20 by elastic members 18, 28 interposed between the aforementioned indexing rings 15 25 and the plate 30.
  • the indexing rings 15, 25 generally comprise on their profile directed towards the control rings 10, 20 indexing ramps of profiles that are evolutive relative to relative to the plane of displacement between the plate 30 and the control rings 10, 20, in this case with respect to a plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation OO.
  • control rings 10, 20 carry for their part at least one indexing finger bearing against the aforementioned profile of the indexing rings 15, 25.
  • the reverse arrangement can be retained, that is to say that the indexing ramps with progressive profiles can be provided on the control rings 10, 20 whereas the complementary fingers are carried by the indexing rings 15, 25.
  • the known devices of the type illustrated on the figure 1 are bulky and lead to a complex assembly.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a new control lever structure for an electric switch for motor vehicles making it possible to improve the situation.
  • a handle comprising two concentric control rings rotatable with respect to a common support, characterized in that it comprises a single spring biasing respective indexing means by direction of each of the two control rings.
  • the two indexing means associated respectively with the two control rings are formed of identical rings arranged in opposite position.
  • the two indexing rings are provided with clipping means allowing their self-maintenance on a common support despite the bias exerted by the indexing spring.
  • the control handle according to the present invention illustrated on the Figures 2 to 4 appended includes essentially two control rings 100, 200, a common support plate 300, two indexing rings 150, 250 and a biasing spring 400.
  • the control lever according to the present invention furthermore comprises connecting means between the control rings 100, 200 and contacting means integrated into the body of an electrical switch. These means being well known to those skilled in the art will not be described in detail later.
  • control rings 100, 200 may be the subject of many embodiments.
  • these control rings 100, 200, concentric and mounted to rotate about an axis OO each comprise a generally cylindrical skirt 102, 202 centered on the axis OO and having on their internal surfaces at least one indexing peg or index 104, 204 which extends in a generally longitudinal direction, that is to say parallel to the axis OO.
  • the index 104 carried by the ring 100 is directed towards the control ring 200 and conversely the control index 204 carried by the ring 200 is directed towards the control ring 100.
  • the opposite ends of the two indexes 104, 204 are globally rounded.
  • the common support plate 300 may be the subject of many embodiments.
  • the plate 300 comprises a cylinder 302 centered on the axis OO which carries an outer ring 304 connected to the cylinder 302 by a plurality of radial spacers 306.
  • the ring 304 is positioned between the two control rings 100, 200.
  • the cylinder 302 further comprises at least two housings 310, 320 intended to receive clipping means secured respectively to each indexing ring 150, 250, according to arrangements which will be described in more detail later, to ensure the self holding the indexing rings 150, 250 on the plate 300 despite the bias of the spring 400.
  • These housings 310, 320 may themselves be subject to many embodiments. According to the non-limiting embodiment shown in the accompanying figures, it is two rectangular-shaped housing passing through the thickness of the cylinder 302 and arranged along the same longitudinal generator of the latter.
  • the spring 400 can likewise be the subject of several embodiments. According to the preferred embodiment given in the accompanying figures, it is a metal spiral spring whose diameter is adapted to be disposed on the outer surface of the cylinder 302.
  • the two indexing rings 150, 250 are of identical structure and arranged head to tail, on assembly, that is to say symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis OO respectively on either side of the spring 400, opposite the control rings 100, 200.
  • each indexing ring 150, 250 comprises a cylindrical shaft 152, 252 whose internal diameter is greater than and complementary to the cylinder 302, so that the rings of indexing 150, 250 can be mounted to slide longitudinally and rotationally on the plate 300, more precisely the cylinder 302.
  • the cylindrical drums 152, 252 of the indexing rings 150, 250 have an outside diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the rings. 100, 200 so that the indexing rings 150, 250 can be positioned within them.
  • each indexing ring 150, 250 has an evolutive profile defining indexing ramps. More precisely still, preferably, the aforementioned profile defined on one of the slices of each indexing ring 150, 250 is divided into several sectors dedicated for some to the definition of the indexing of the control ring 100 and the others the indexing of the control ring 200. It is clear that the definition of the unstable and stable positions defined above may vary from one control ring 100 to the other. For example, the number of stable positions and the angular difference defined between them can be different between the two control rings 100, 200. The profile of the indexing ramps defined on the edge of the rings 150, 250 must be adapted Consequently.
  • the wafer of each of the two indexing rings 150, 250 is divided into four sectors each covering an angular aperture of the order of 90 °.
  • Two of these opposite sectors 154, 254 are for example dedicated to the indexing of the control ring 100, while the two other sectors 156, 256 diametrically opposed to each other and interposed between the two sectors 154, 254 mentioned above are dedicated to the
  • the two indexing rings 150, 250 being identical, they each have the indexing profiles to cooperate with each of the two control rings 100, 200.
  • the positioning angular of the indexing rings 150, 250 is such that for the indexing ring 150 associated with the control ring 100, the indexing sectors 154 are positioned opposite the indexes 104, while for the indexing ring 250 associated with the control ring 200, are the indexing sectors 256 which are positioned opposite the index 204.
  • each indexing ring 150, 250 has a plurality of longitudinal blades or beams 160, 260. These are first designed to be interposed between the support cylinder 302 and the ring 304, between the radial spacers 306 to allow both freedom of translation and rotation in the sector defined between two radial spacers 306. Furthermore, the beams 260 are adapted to rest at their longitudinal end against the outermost axially outer turn of the spring 400 of so that the two indexing rings 150, 250, when they are positioned on the plate 300 are biased spaced respectively in the direction of the control rings 100, 200.
  • the spacing between the two indexing rings 150, 250 is limited by clipping means defined by teeth 162, 262 secured respectively to the longitudinal end of a blade 260.
  • the clipping teeth mentioned above 162, 262 are adapted to be positioned, during assembly, in one of the housing 310, 320 above.
  • the spring 400 is made of metal, while the control rings 100, 200, the indexing rings 150, 250 and the support plate 300 are made of thermoplastic material.
  • An important characteristic of the present invention thus consists in the use of an identical piece to produce the two indexing rings 150, 250. If necessary, if necessary, the indexing ramps 154, 156, 254, 256, or the blades of 160 or 260 or the clipping means 162, 262 can easily be adapted for one of the two indexing rings 150, 250 by changing at least partially one of the mold cavities dedicated to one of these two rings .
  • the present invention offers many advantages over the state of the art. It allows a perfect rationalization of indexing gamepad. It allows a good standardization of the function, a significant decrease of the volume and it allows an automatic assembly.
  • the present invention is particularly applicable to the production of electric switch lever for motor vehicles intended to be installed at the top of the steering column for the control of light or sound signaling means, lighting, or wiping and washing.
