Description

La présente invention concerne une poignée de portière ou similaires et en particulier une poignée à levier qui peut être utilisée pour déverrouiller et en même temps ouvrir la portière d'un véhicule automobile. La présente invention concerne également un procédé pour monter une telle poignée.The present invention relates to a door handle or the like and in particular a lever handle that can be used to unlock and at the same time open the door of a motor vehicle. The present invention also relates to a method for mounting such a handle.

Les demandes de brevet EP 01 128 004 et WO 2004/042 177 au nom de la demanderesse décrivent des poignées qui présentent un levier apte à tourner dans un châssis à fixer sur une portière et qui sont reliées mécaniquement à un balancier qui tourne dans le châssis quand on tire sur le levier pour déverrouiller la porte. Ce balancier est relié mécaniquement en permanence au levier pour ramener celui-ci en position après qu'on l'a tiré et pour relier le levier à un mécanisme de sécurité et/ou à un mécanisme de déverrouillage de la portière.Requests for EP 01 128 004 and WO 2004/042 177 in the name of the applicant describe handles that have a lever rotatable in a frame to be fixed on a door and which are mechanically connected to a rocker that rotates in the frame when pulling the lever to unlock the door. This balance is permanently mechanically connected to the lever to bring it back into position after it has been pulled and to connect the lever to a safety mechanism and / or to a mechanism for unlocking the door.

Quand on applique une serrure à une telle poignée, par exemple au moyen des mécanismes décrits dans le brevet EP 01 099 817 et dans la demande de brevet EP 01 416 108 , on place généralement le bloc de clé de cette serrure dans la zone même du balancier ou de la partie opposée au point d'appui du levier, ce qui nuit au fonctionnement du mécanisme d'ouverture et entraîne des problèmes d'encombrement et/ou de montage de la poignée.When applying a lock to such a handle, for example by means of the mechanisms described in the EP 01 099 817 and in the request for EP 01 416 108 the key block of this lock is generally placed in the area of the beam or the part opposite to the point of support of the lever, which affects the operation of the opening mechanism and causes congestion problems and / or mounting the handle.

Le document EP 1 052 348 A1 décrit une poignée et un procédé pour monter une poignée sur la portière d'un véhicule selon le préambule des revendications 1 et 10.The document EP 1 052 348 A1 discloses a handle and method for mounting a handle on the door of a vehicle according to the preamble of claims 1 and 10.

Le problème à la base de la présente invention est donc de proposer une poignée qui ne présente pas ces inconvénients, c'est-à-dire une poignée compacte et facile à monter, surtout si elle est munie d'une serrure. Ce problème est résolu avec une poignée et un procédé pour la monter dont les caractéristiques principales sont données respectivement dans les revendications 1 et 10, d'autres caractéristiques étant données dans les autres revendications.The problem underlying the present invention is therefore to provide a handle that does not have these disadvantages, that is to say a compact handle and easy to assemble, especially if it is provided with a lock. This problem is solved with a handle and a method to mount it with the features The main features are respectively given in claims 1 and 10, other features being given in the other claims.

Le mouvement axial du balancier dans le châssis permet de monter le levier de l'extérieur et de l'accoupler simplement et rapidement au balancier, même si ce dernier présente un dispositif de blocage qui peut coopérer avec le pendule d'un dispositif de sécurité à inertie. On réalise cet accouplement de préférence au moyen d'un mécanisme particulier à vis qui simplifie et accélère encore le montage de la poignée.The axial movement of the balance in the frame makes it possible to mount the lever from the outside and to couple it simply and quickly to the balance, even if the latter has a locking device which can cooperate with the pendulum of a safety device. inertia. This coupling is preferably carried out by means of a special screw mechanism which simplifies and speeds up the assembly of the handle.

La structure et la disposition particulières de ses composants rendent ce mécanisme d'accouplement très fiable et peu encombrant, de telle sorte qu'il permet également de monter sans problème une serrure près du balancier.The particular structure and arrangement of its components make this coupling mechanism very reliable and compact, so that it can also be fitted without difficulty to a lock near the balance.

Pour réduire ultérieurement la durée et la difficulté de montage de la poignée, on munit le mécanisme d'accouplement de moyens supplémentaires qui bloquent automatiquement la serrure dans sa position lors de l'accouplement du balancier et du levier de la poignée.To further reduce the duration and difficulty of mounting the handle, the coupling mechanism is provided with additional means that automatically lock the lock in its position when coupling the balance and lever handle.

Le mécanisme d'accouplement fonctionne de préférence de manière réversible, de sorte que la poignée selon la présente invention est simple non seulement à monter mais également à démonter.The coupling mechanism preferably operates reversibly, so that the handle according to the present invention is simple not only to mount but also to disassemble.

En se référant aux figures 1 à 3, on constate que la poignée selon le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention présente de manière connue un châssis 1 qui peut être fixé par exemple derrière la surface externe de la portière d'un véhicule automobile. Le châssis 1 est muni d'un point d'appui autour duquel peut tourner un levier 2 que l'on peut tirer vers l'extérieur dans la direction de la flèche 3 pour ouvrir la portière. Le levier 2 tourne donc autour d'un axe 4 essentiellement parallèle à l'axe de rotation de la portière. L'extrémité non soutenue du levier 2 est munie d'un appendice 5 qui pénètre dans le châssis 1 et comprend une cavité dans laquelle une dent 6 s'engage de manière à pouvoir tourner. Cette dent déborde d'un balancier 7 qui peut tourner dans le châssis 1 autour d'un axe 8 essentiellement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation 4 du levier 2. De cette manière, le levier 2 est relié mécaniquement au balancier 7 de telle sorte que ce dernier tourne autour de l'axe 8 quand on tire sur le levier 2. Un ressort hélicoïdal 9 est disposé coaxialement dans le balancier 7 pour ramener celui-ci dans sa position initiale en même temps que le levier 2 quand on ne tire plus sur ce dernier. Le balancier 7 est quant à lui relié au mécanisme de déverrouillage (non représenté dans les figures) de la portière de telle sorte que l'on puisse ultérieurement ouvrir la portière en tirant sur le levier 2. On réalise cette liaison par exemple au moyen d'un câble (non représenté dans les figures) que le balancier 7 tire lors de sa rotation. Le balancier 7 peut être muni d'un dispositif de blocage 10 qui, pour empêcher la rotation du balancier 7 en cas de choc, peut coopérer avec un pendule 11 d'un dispositif de sécurité à inertie disposé au centre du châssis 1.Referring to Figures 1 to 3 it is found that the handle according to the first embodiment of the invention has in a known manner a frame 1 which can be fixed for example behind the outer surface of the door of a motor vehicle. The frame 1 is provided with a fulcrum around which can rotate a lever 2 that can be pulled outwards in the direction of the arrow 3 to open the door. The lever 2 thus rotates about an axis 4 substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the door. The unsupported end of the lever 2 is provided with an appendix 5 which enters the frame 1 and comprises a cavity in which a tooth 6 engages in a rotatable manner. This tooth protrudes from a rocker 7 which can rotate in the frame 1 about an axis 8 substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 4 of the lever 2. In this way, the lever 2 is mechanically connected to the rocker 7 so that that the latter rotates about the axis 8 when pulling on the lever 2. A coil spring 9 is disposed coaxially in the balance 7 to bring it back to its initial position at the same time as the lever 2 when no longer firing. on the latter. The rocker 7 is in turn connected to the unlocking mechanism (not shown in the figures) of the door so that one can subsequently open the door by pulling on the lever 2. This connection is made for example by means of a cable (not shown in the figures) that the rocker 7 pulls during its rotation. The rocker 7 may be provided with a locking device 10 which, to prevent rotation of the balance 7 in case of shock, can cooperate with a pendulum 11 of an inertia safety device disposed in the center of the frame 1.

Selon l'invention, le balancier 7 est monté sur au moins un arbre 12 de manière à pouvoir se déplacer le long de son axe de rotation 8 par rapport au châssis 1 pour accoupler ou désaccoupler l'appendice 5 du levier 2 avec la dent 6 du balancier 7 en fonction du sens du déplacement axial, qui dépend de préférence d'un mécanisme d'accouplement apte à pousser ou à tirer l'arbre 12 le long de l'axe 8.According to the invention, the rocker 7 is mounted on at least one shaft 12 so as to be able to move along its axis of rotation 8 relative to the frame 1 to couple or uncouple the appendix 5 of the lever 2 with the tooth 6 of the balance 7 according to the direction of the axial displacement, which preferably depends on a coupling mechanism able to push or pull the shaft 12 along the axis 8.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, ce mécanisme d'accouplement comprend une vis 13 qui peut tourner librement dans le châssis 1 autour d'un axe 14 essentiellement parallèle à l'axe de rotation 8 du balancier 7 et qui présente une partie filetée engrenée dans un arc dentelé 15 d'un collier 16 apte à tourner par rapport au châssis 1 quand on tourne la vis 13. L'axe de rotation 17 du collier 16 est essentiellement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation 4 du levier 2 et à l'axe de rotation 8 du balancier 7. Le collier 16 est muni d'une ou de deux saillies façonnées 18, 19 qui peuvent pousser ou tirer un curseur 20 de forme par exemple tronconique solidaire de l'arbre 12, de telle façon que la rotation dans les deux sens de la vis 13 autour de l'axe 14 entraîne le déplacement axial du balancier 7 dans les deux sens le long de l'axe 8. On peut accéder de l'extérieur à la tête de la vis 13 par l'intermédiaire d'un trou ménagé dans le châssis 1 pour l'accoupler à un outil et par exemple à une clé lors du montage de la poignée.In this embodiment, this coupling mechanism comprises a screw 13 which can rotate freely in the frame 1 about an axis 14 substantially parallel to the axis of rotation 8 of the balance 7 and which has a threaded portion meshing in a serrated arc 15 of a collar 16 adapted to rotate relative to the frame 1 when the screw 13 is rotated. The axis of rotation 17 of the collar 16 is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 4 of the lever 2 and to the axis 8 The collar 16 is provided with one or two shaped projections 18, 19 which can push or pull a shaped slider 20 for example frustoconical integral with the shaft 12, so that the rotation in the two directions of the screw 13 about the axis 14 causes the axial movement of the rocker 7 in both directions along the axis 8. It can be accessed from the outside to the head of the screw 13 via a hole in the frame 1 to couple it to a tool and for example to a key when mounting the handle.

Le collier 16 est de préférence muni d'un dispositif de fixation pour y monter une serrure. Un tel dispositif de fixation présente en particulier des composants à baïonnette pour monter de manière réversible au centre du collier 16 un boîtier 21 qui comprend des organes à baïonnette complémentaires de ceux du collier 16 de manière à former avec ceux-ci un accouplement à baïonnette. Le boîtier 21 présente un emplacement central 22 essentiellement cylindrique destiné à contenir une serrure.The collar 16 is preferably provided with a fastening device for mounting a lock. Such a fastener has in particular bayonet components for reversibly mounting in the center collar 16 a housing 21 which comprises bayonet members complementary to those of the collar 16 so as to form therewith a bayonet coupling. The housing 21 has a substantially cylindrical central location 22 for containing a lock.

En se référant à la figure 4, on constate qu'avant le montage, les composants à baïonnette du collier 16 sont alignés sur les organes à baïonnette correspondants du boîtier 21 de telle sorte que celui-ci peut être déplacé le long de l'axe 17 vers sa position de fonctionnement dans le collier 16. Le balancier 7 est dans une position de montage dans laquelle la dent 6 n'est pas accouplée à l'appendice 5 du levier 2 qui peut donc facilement être appliqué de l'extérieur sur le boîtier 1. Quand le levier 2 et le boîtier 21 muni de la serrure sont dans leur position de fonctionnement, un opérateur tourne la vis 13 de telle façon que le collier 16 tourne autour de l'axe 17. De cette manière, le boîtier 21 est bloqué par les composants à baïonnette et l'arbre 12 du balancier 7 est tiré axialement par la saillie façonnée 19. Le déplacement axial du balancier 7 entraîne à son tour l'accouplement mécanique de l'appendice 5 du levier 2 avec la dent 6 du balancier 7. Pour démonter la poignée, il suffit évidemment de tourner la vis 13 dans le sens inverse. Dans ce cas, la saillie façonnée 18 du collier 16 pousse l'arbre 12 et le balancier 7 dans la position de montage.Referring to the figure 4 it is found that before assembly, the bayonet components of the collar 16 are aligned with the corresponding bayonet members of the housing 21 so that it can be moved along the axis 17 to its operating position in the collar 16. The rocker 7 is in a mounting position in which the tooth 6 is not coupled to the appendix 5 of the lever 2 which can easily be applied from the outside to the housing 1. When the lever 2 and the housing 21 provided with the lock are in their operating position, an operator turns the screw 13 so that the collar 16 rotates about the axis 17. In this way, the housing 21 is blocked by the bayonet components and the shaft 12 of the rocker 7 is pulled axially by the shaped projection 19. The axial displacement of the rocker 7 in turn causes the mechanical coupling of the appendix 5 of the lever 2 with the tooth 6 of the rocker 7. To disassemble the handle, i l is obviously sufficient to turn the screw 13 in the opposite direction. In this case, the shaped projection 18 of the collar 16 pushes the shaft 12 and the rocker 7 into the mounting position.

En se référant aux figures 5 à 9, on constate que dans le deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, qui est similaire au premier, un curseur 120 est relié au balancier 107 et est inséré dans une partie filetée 123 de la vis 113 dont le pas est de préférence plus petit que celui de la partie filetée qui s'engrène sur l'arc dentelé 115 du collier 116. Il est donc clair que la rotation de la vis 113 dans les deux sens entraîne le déplacement axial du balancier 107 dans les deux directions, et l'accouplement ou le désaccouplement du balancier 107 et de l'appendice 105 du levier. Le curseur 120 est de préférence réalisé en une seule pièce avec le balancier 107.Referring to Figures 5 to 9 , it is found that in the second embodiment of the invention, which is similar to the first, a slider 120 is connected to the rocker 107 and is inserted into a threaded portion 123 of the screw 113 whose pitch is preferably smaller than that of the threaded portion which meshes with the serrated arc 115 of the collar 116. It is therefore clear that the rotation of the screw 113 in both directions causes the axial movement of the rocker 107 in both directions, and the coupling or uncoupling of the rocker 107 and appendix 105 of the lever. The slider 120 is preferably made in one piece with the balance 107.

En se référant aux figures 10 et 11, on constate que dans le cas de la poignée selon le troisième mode de réalisation du procédé de l'invention, le mécanisme d'accouplement du balancier 207 comprend aussi une vis 213 qui peut tourner dans le châssis 201 (représenté sans levier dans la figure 10) et est vissé dans un trou fileté ménagé dans un coulisseau 224 qui peut se déplacer dans le châssis 201 le long d'un axe essentiellement parallèle à l'axe de rotation du balancier 207. Le coulisseau 224 est muni d'une ou de deux saillies façonnées 218, 219 qui peuvent pousser ou tirer un curseur 220 solidaire de l'arbre 212 du balancier 207. La pointe de la vis 213 s'appuie sur le boîtier 221 destiné à une serrure et disposé dans une ouverture 225 ménagée au centre du coulisseau 224 de manière à maintenir ce boîtier 221 dans un emplacement complémentaire ménagé dans le châssis 201. La vis 223 bloque donc le coulisseau 224 et le boîtier 221 dans le châssis 201.Referring to Figures 10 and 11 it is found that in the case of the handle according to the third embodiment of the method of the invention, the coupling mechanism of the balance 207 also comprises a screw 213 which can rotate in the frame 201 (shown without lever in the figure 10 ) and is screwed into a threaded hole formed in a slide 224 which can move in the frame 201 along an axis substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the rocker 207. The slide 224 is provided with one or two shaped projections 218, 219 which can push or pull a slider 220 integral with the shaft 212 of the balance 207. The tip of the screw 213 rests on the housing 221 for a lock and disposed in an opening 225 in the center of the slide 224 so as to maintain this housing 221 in a complementary location in the frame 201. The screw 223 therefore blocks the slide 224 and the housing 221 in the frame 201.

En se référant aux figures 12 à 14, on constate que dans la position de montage, la vis 213 est légèrement dévissée du coulisseau 224 par rapport à la position de fonctionnement et donc que sa tête s'appuie contre le châssis 201 tandis que sa pointe ne s'appuie pas contre le boîtier 221 qui n'est donc pas maintenu dans son emplacement du châssis 201 et est libre de se déplacer axialement. Le coulisseau 224 poussé par la vis 213 amène le balancier 207 dans sa position désaccouplée du levier (non représenté dans la figure 12) de la poignée. En vissant la vis 213 dans le coulisseau 224, on obtient donc le blocage du boîtier 221 dans le châssis 201 et en même temps l'accouplement du balancier 207 et de l'appendice 205 du levier. Le châssis 201 peut être muni d'une dent élastique 226 apte à bloquer le coulisseau 224 dans la position de montage. Pour débloquer le coulisseau 224, il suffit d'insérer un outil et par exemple un tournevis dans un trou 227 ménagé dans le châssis 201 en dessous du trou d'accès à la tête de la vis 213.Referring to Figures 12 to 14 , it is found that in the mounting position, the screw 213 is slightly unscrewed from the slide 224 relative to the operating position and therefore that its head bears against the frame 201 while its tip does not rest against the housing 221 which is not maintained in its location of the frame 201 and is free to move axially. The slide 224 pushed by the screw 213 brings the balance 207 into its uncoupled position of the lever (not shown in FIG. figure 12 ) of the handle. By screwing the screw 213 into the slide 224, the blocking of the casing 221 in the frame 201 is thus obtained and at the same time the coupling of the rocker 207 and the appendage 205 of the lever. The frame 201 may be provided with an elastic tooth 226 adapted to lock the slide 224 in the mounting position. To unlock the slide 224, simply insert a tool and for example a screwdriver in a hole 227 formed in the frame 201 below the access hole to the head of the screw 213.
