Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux charnières de porte latérale coulissante pour les véhicules automobiles.The present invention relates to sliding side door hinges for motor vehicles.

Les véhicules automobiles du type véhicules utilitaires sont déjà équipés depuis longtemps de portes latérales coulissantes. Ce type de porte présente l'avantage d'autoriser de grandes ouvertures latérales car les portes qui les referment sont non plus battantes mais coulissantes ce qui réduit l'espace nécessaire à leur ouverture.Motor vehicles of the commercial vehicle type have long been equipped with sliding side doors. This type of door has the advantage of allowing large lateral openings because the doors that close them are not swinging but sliding which reduces the space required for their opening.

En effet, l'ouverture latérale pratiquée dans les véhicules automobiles définit une embrasure et la porte latérale est adaptée à être portée, d'une position d'obturation dans laquelle elle est encastrée dans ladite embrasure, vers une position d'ouverture dans laquelle elle est écartée de ladite ouverture et coulissée le long dudit véhicule.Indeed, the lateral opening made in motor vehicles defines an embrasure and the side door is adapted to be worn, from a closed position in which it is embedded in said recess, to an open position in which it is spaced from said opening and slid along said vehicle.

Pour ce faire, les charnières comprennent des rails de guidage montés dans l'embrasure et des charnons solidaires de la porte latérale. Les charnons équipés de galets sont montés dans les rails de guidage et ils permettent de guider la porte, d'abord en pivotement sensible à partir de ladite position d'ouverture, puis en translation latérale vers ladite position d'ouverture.To do this, the hinges comprise guide rails mounted in the recess and knuckles integral with the side door. The knuckles equipped with rollers are mounted in the guide rails and they guide the door, first substantially pivoting from said open position, then in lateral translation to said open position.

On pourra notamment se référer au document FR 2 658 762 , lequel décrit une telle charnière pour porte coulissante. Un inconvénient de ces dispositifs classiques, réside notamment dans la trajectoire de la porte dans la phase d'ouverture, à partir de la position d'obturation. Car en effet, à partir de cette position d'obturation, la porte latérale pivote et coulisse simultanément, de sorte que la trajectoire est difficilement contrôlable. Bien évidemment, cet inconvénient apparaît de la même façon dans la phase de fermeture, en approche de la position d'obturation. Un autre inconvénient des dispositifs classiques réside dans la tenue de la porte en position fermée lors de chocs frontaux ou latéraux.In particular, we can refer to the document FR 2,658,762 which describes such a sliding door hinge. A disadvantage of these conventional devices resides in particular in the path of the door in the opening phase, from the closed position. Indeed, from this shutter position, the side door pivots and slides simultaneously, so that the trajectory is difficult to control. Of course, this disadvantage appears in the same way in the closing phase, approaching the closed position. Another disadvantage of conventional devices is the holding of the door in the closed position during frontal or side impacts.

Les inconvénients précités constituent des obstacles pour la mise en oeuvre de ces portes latérales coulissantes sur les véhicules automobiles de tourisme alors qu'elles présentent, par ailleurs, de grands avantages.The aforementioned drawbacks constitute obstacles for the implementation of these sliding side doors on passenger motor vehicles while they have, moreover, great advantages.

Aussi, un problème qui se pose et que visa résoudre la présente invention est alors de fournir des charnières pour porte latérale coulissante qui permettent non seulement de contrôler la course des portes, mais aussi, qui permettent une bonne tenue en cas de choc.Also, a problem that arises and vis visa solve the present invention is then to provide hinges for sliding side door that not only control the race of the doors, but also, which allow a good resistance in case of shock.

Dans ce but, la présente invention propose des charnières de porte latérale coulissante pour véhicule automobile, ledit véhicule automobile présentant une ouverture latérale et une porte latérale coulissante pour obturer ladite ouverture latérale, ladite ouverture latérale présentant une embrasure, ladite porte latérale étant destinée à être portée d'une position d'obturation dans laquelle elle est encastrée dans ladite embrasure vers une position d'ouverture dans laquelle elle est écartée de ladite ouverture et coulissée le long dudit véhicule, lesdites charnières comprenant des moyens de guidage montés dans ladite embrasure et au moins un premier charnon solidaire de ladite porte latérale, ledit premier charnon étant relié auxdits moyens de guidage pour guider en pivotement ladite porte latérale autour d'un axe de pivotement lorsque ladite porte latérale est entraînée en mouvement de ladite position d'obturation vers ladite position d'ouverture ; selon l'invention, lesdits moyens de guidage comprennent au moins un second charnon, tandis que lesdites charnières comprennent des moyens de verrouillage des deux charnons ensemble ; et lesdits moyens de verrouillage sont adaptés à maintenir lesdits charnons mobiles en pivotement l'un par rapport à l'autre durant le pivotement de ladite porte latérale pour maintenir ledit axe de pivotement en position fixe, et pour libérer lesdits charnons après que ladite porte a été pivotée.For this purpose, the present invention provides sliding side door hinges for a motor vehicle, said motor vehicle having a side opening and a sliding side door for closing said lateral opening, said side opening having an embrasure, said side door being intended to be door of a closed position in which it is embedded in said recess to an open position in which it is spaced from said opening and slid along said vehicle, said hinges comprising guide means mounted in said recess and at the minus a first knuckle secured to said side door, said first knuckle being connected to said guide means for pivotally guiding said side door about a pivot axis when said side door is driven in motion from said closed position to said position opening; according to the invention, said guide means comprise at least one second knuckle, while said hinges comprise means for locking the two knuckles together; and said locking means is adapted to maintain said movable knuckles pivoted relative to each other during pivoting of said side door to maintain said pivot axis in a fixed position, and to release said knuckles after said door has been moved. been rotated.

Ainsi, une caractéristique de l'invention réside dans la mise en oeuvre de charnons dégondables qui permettent, dans une première phase de mouvement à partir de la position d'obturation, de faire pivoter la porte latérale autour d'un axe de pivotement maintenu en position fixe, avant de faire coulisser la porte latérale le long du véhicule. Lorsque la porte latérale est suffisamment pivotée, pour ensuite être entraînée en translation, les charnons se désolidarisent pour autoriser précisément cette translation. De la sorte, la trajectoire de la porte latérale est parfaitement définie dans cette phase d'ouverture puisqu'elle pivote autour d'un axe de pivotement fixe. Ce n'est qu'ensuite qu'elle peut être guidée en translation de façon classique grâce à des rails de guidage.Thus, a feature of the invention lies in the implementation of detachable knuckles which allow, in a first phase of movement from the closed position, to pivot the side door about a pivot axis held in position. position, before sliding the side door along the vehicle. When the side door is sufficiently rotated, to then be driven in translation, the knuckles dissociate to allow precisely this translation. In this way, the trajectory of the side door is perfectly defined in this opening phase since it pivots about a fixed pivot axis. It is only then that it can be guided in translation in a conventional manner by means of guide rails.

En outre, grâce aux moyens de verrouillage des deux charnons ensemble, lorsque la porte latérale est dans ladite position d'obturation, elle est parfaitement maintenue lors d'un choc.In addition, thanks to the locking means of the two knuckles together, when the side door is in said closed position, it is perfectly maintained during an impact.

Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention avantageux, ledit second charnon comprend un arbre d'articulation prolongé à au moins l'une de ses deux extrémités par une branche recourbée sensiblement perpendiculairement audit arbre d'articulation pour former paumelle, ladite branche étant ancrée dans ladite embrasure. De la sorte, l'arbre d'articulation, espacé d'un bord latéral de l'ouverture, est orienté sensiblement verticalement pour autoriser le pivotement de la porte selon un plan sensiblement horizontal.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said second knuckle comprises a hinge shaft extended at at least one of its two ends by a branch curved substantially perpendicular to said hinge shaft to form hinge, said hinge being anchored in said embrasure. In this way, the hinge shaft, spaced from a lateral edge of the opening, is oriented substantially vertically to allow the pivoting of the door in a substantially horizontal plane.

Avantageusement, ledit premier charnon présente une extrémité libre en U, ladite extrémité libre en U présentant deux ailes espacées l'une de l'autre, ledit second charnon étant adapté à venir en prise entre lesdites ailes de ladite extrémité libre et en appui dans le fond de cette extrémité libre en U. II y est ainsi au moins partiellement guidé en rotation.Advantageously, said first knuckle has a U-shaped free end, said U-shaped free end having two wings spaced apart from each other, said second knuckle being adapted to engage between said wings of said free end and resting in the bottom of this free end U. It is thus at least partially guided in rotation.

Par ailleurs, lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent préférentiellement un organe de verrouillage pour emprisonner alors ledit arbre dans ladite extrémité libre en U, ledit organe de verrouillage étant mobile entre une position de verrouillage dans laquelle il referme la partie ouverte de l'extrémité libre en U et où il emprisonne ledit arbre, et une position de déverrouillage dans laquelle il libère ledit arbre en dégageant cette partie ouverte.Furthermore, said locking means preferably comprise a locking member to then imprison said shaft in said U-shaped free end, said locking member being movable between a locking position in which it closes the open portion of the U-shaped free end. and where it traps said shaft, and an unlocking position in which it releases said shaft by releasing this open portion.

En outre, et de façon particulièrement avantageuse, ledit organe de verrouillage comporte un pêne en U, ledit pêne en U, monté articulé sur l'une desdites ailes, étant adapté à recevoir ledit arbre d'articulation et à pivoter pour que le pêne et l'extrémité libre en U soient opposés, le fond du pêne en U étant alors en regard du fonds de l'extrémité libre en U, de manière à maintenir ledit arbre d'articulation verrouillé entre lesdites ailes et entre lesdits fonds respectifs tout en autorisant sa rotation.In addition, and particularly advantageously, said locking member comprises a U-bolt, said U-bolt, hingedly mounted on one of said flanges, being adapted to receive said hinge shaft and to pivoting so that the bolt and the U-shaped free end are opposite, the bottom of the U-bolt then facing the bottom of the U-shaped free end, so as to maintain said hinge shaft locked between said flanges and between said funds while allowing its rotation.

De plus, lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent, de façon préférentielle, un organe de blocage adapté à venir bloquer ledit organe de verrouillage dans ladite position de verrouillage de façon que l'arbre d'articulation reste prisonnier de l'extrémité libre en U et par là, que le premier charnon reste solidaire du second charnon, au moins dans une première phase de pivotement de la porte latérale.In addition, said locking means preferably comprise a locking member adapted to block said locking member in said locking position so that the hinge shaft remains trapped in the free end U and by there, that the first knuckle remains integral with the second knuckle, at least in a first phase of pivoting of the side door.

Au surplus, lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent avantageusement, une partie d'appui excentrée et solidaire dudit arbre d'articulation, ledit organe de blocage étant adapté à coopérer avec ladite partie d'appui lorsque ladite porte latérale est entraînée en pivotement pour débloquer ledit organe de verrouillage. Ainsi, lorsque la porte latérale est entraînée en pivotement, le premier charnon l'est également et par conséquent l'organe de blocage aussi qui pivote alors autour de l'arbre d'articulation. En fin de course de ce pivotement, l'organe de blocage vient en appui contre ladite partie d'appui qui elle est maintenue en position fixe par rapport à l'arbre d'articulation, de sorte que l'organe de blocage est entraîné en mouvement par rapport à l'organe de verrouillage et le débloque. L'organe de verrouillage peut alors pivoter à son tour pour libérer l'arbre d'articulation de l'extrémité libre en U.In addition, said locking means advantageously comprise an eccentric bearing portion integral with said articulation shaft, said locking member being adapted to cooperate with said bearing portion when said lateral door is pivotally engaged to unlock said member. locking. Thus, when the side door is pivoted, the first knuckle is also and therefore also the locking member which then pivots about the hinge shaft. At the end of this pivoting stroke, the locking member abuts against said bearing portion which is held in a fixed position relative to the hinge shaft, so that the locking member is driven into position. movement relative to the locking member and unlock. The locking member can then rotate in turn to release the hinge shaft of the free end U.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent des moyens de liaison, élastiques par exemple, reliant ensemble ledit organe de verrouillage et ledit organe de blocage, de façon à entraîner ledit organe de verrouillage vers ladite position de déverrouillage lorsque ledit organe de blocage coopère avec ladite partie d'appui. Ainsi, ledit organe de verrouillage étant entraîné vers la position de déverrouillage il tend par là même, à éjecter l'arbre d'articulation de l'extrémité libre en U et contribue à la séparation des deux charnons qui bien évidemment dans cette phase du mouvement est nécessaire pour autoriser alors le coulissement de la porte latérale.Advantageously, said locking means comprise elastic connecting means, for example, interconnecting said locking member and said locking member, so as to cause said locking member to go to said unlocking position when said locking member cooperates with said part. support. Thus, said locking member being driven towards the unlocking position, it tends thereby to eject the hinge shaft from the free end U and contributes to the separation of the two knuckles which obviously this phase of the movement is necessary to then allow the sliding of the side door.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention particulièrement avantageux, ledit organe de blocage comporte une fourchette montée à pivotement sur l'autre desdites ailes, opposée à celle sur laquelle est articulé l'organe de verrouillage, ladite fourchette présentant une dent centrale, légèrement incurvée et adaptée à venir en butée contre ledit organe de verrouillage, par exemple contre un cran d'arrêt prévu à cet effet, de manière à le bloquer, et une dent latérale recourbée sensiblement perpendiculairement à la dent centrale et adaptée à venir en appui contre ladite partie d'appui.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, said locking member comprises a fork pivotally mounted on the other of said wings, opposite to that on which is articulated the locking member, said fork having a central tooth, slightly curved and adapted to abut against said locking member, for example against a detent provided for this purpose, so as to block it, and a lateral tooth curved substantially perpendicularly to the central tooth and adapted to abut against said support portion.

En outre, de manière préférée ladite fourchette présente une autre dent latérale opposée et recourbée dans un sens opposé, ladite autre dent étant adaptée à coopérer avec lesdits moyens de liaison, en pivotant lorsque ladite partie d'appui est en appui contre la première dent latérale, pour entraîner en mouvement ledit organe de verrouillage qui libère alors l'arbre d'articulation.In addition, preferably said fork has another opposite lateral tooth and bent in an opposite direction, said other tooth being adapted to cooperate with said connecting means, pivoting when said bearing portion bears against the first lateral tooth to drive in motion said locking member which then releases the hinge shaft.

La Figure 1 illustre une charnière conforme à l'invention comportant un premier charnon 10 destiné à être installé sur une porte coulissante non représentée d'un véhicule automobile, et un second charnon 12 destiné lui, à être monté dans l'embrasure d'une ouverture latérale pratiquée dans ledit véhicule.Figure 1 illustrates a hinge according to the invention comprising a first knuckle 10 intended to be installed on a sliding door not shown of a motor vehicle, and a second knuckle 12 for him, to be mounted in the doorway of a lateral opening in said vehicle.

Ce second charnon 12, comprend un arbre d'articulation 14 qui s'étend selon un axe vertical A, et qui est prolongé à chacune de ses deux extrémités par deux branches recourbées 16 perpendiculairement à l'arbre d'articulation 14 et parallèlement entre elles, lesdites branches étant elles-mêmes incurvées et ancrées dans une platine 18. Cette platine 18 est adaptée à être maintenue vissée en position fixe dans l'embrasure.This second knuckle 12 comprises a hinge shaft 14 which extends along a vertical axis A, and which is extended at each of its two ends by two curved branches 16 perpendicular to the hinge shaft 14 and parallel to each other. , said branches themselves being curved and anchored in a plate 18. This plate 18 is adapted to be held screwed in a fixed position in the recess.

Le premier charnon 10 présente lui, une extrémité en U 20 dans laquelle est engagé l'arbre d'articulation 14. L'extrémité en U 20 s'étend en épaisseur selon l'axe vertical A, pour former berceau, et elle présente une paroi de fond 21. Par ailleurs, elle présente un perçage oblong 22 qui traverse sa paroi de fond 21 et qui s'étend sensiblement tangentiellement selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe vertical A. En outre, apparaît à travers ce perçage oblong 22 et en saillie à l'extérieur de ladite la paroi de fond, un ergot d'appui 24 qui lui, est solidaire de l'arbre d'articulation 14 et s'étend en saillie perpendiculaire dudit arbre d'articulation 14.The first knuckle 10 has it, a U-shaped end 20 in which is engaged the hinge shaft 14. The U-shaped end 20 extends in thickness along the vertical axis A, to form a cradle, and it has a In addition, it has an oblong bore 22 which passes through its bottom wall 21 and which extends substantially tangentially in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis A. In addition, it appears through this oblong hole 22. and protruding outside said bottom wall, a bearing pin 24 which is integral with the hinge shaft 14 and extends perpendicularly projecting from said hinge shaft 14.

Par ailleurs, la charnière comporte des moyens de verrouillage 26 des deux charnons 10, 12, ensemble, ici dans une position de verrouillage dans laquelle ils emprisonnent l'arbre d'articulation 14 dans l'extrémité en U 20. Ces moyens de verrouillage 26 comprennent, un organe de verrouillage 28 que l'on détaillera ci-après et qui est monté articulé sur l'extrémité en U 20 autour d'un premier axe 30, et à l'opposé un organe de blocage 32 comprenant une fourchette montée à pivotement sur l'extrémité en U 20 autour d'un second axe 34. Ladite fourchette comprend, une dent centrale 36 qui rejoint l'organe de verrouillage 28 ; une première dent latérale 38 recourbée perpendiculairement à la dent centrale 36 et longeant la paroi de fond 21 en s'étendant en regard du perçage oblong 22 ; et enfin une seconde dent latérale 40 recourbée dans un sens opposé à la première dent latérale 38. L'organe de blocage 32 se prolonge latéralement au-delà de la seconde dent latérale 40 pour être monté pivotant autour du second axe 34.Furthermore, the hinge comprises locking means 26 of the two knuckles 10, 12, together, here in a locking position in which they trap the hinge shaft 14 in the U-shaped end 20. These locking means 26 comprise, a locking member 28 which will be detailed below and which is mounted articulated on the U-shaped end 20 around a first axis 30, and opposite a locking member 32 comprising a fork mounted to pivoting on the U-shaped end 20 about a second axis 34. Said fork comprises a central tooth 36 which joins the locking member 28; a first lateral tooth 38 bent perpendicularly to the central tooth 36 and along the bottom wall 21 extending opposite the oblong bore 22; and finally a second lateral tooth 40 curved in a direction opposite to the first lateral tooth 38. The locking member 32 extends laterally beyond the second lateral tooth 40 to be pivotally mounted about the second axis 34.

Par ailleurs, le premier et le second axes 30, 34, solidaires de l'extrémité en U 20 sont surmontés d'un téton dans lequel est pratiquée une gorge recevant en appui dans le fond de ladite gorge, une lame de ressort 42 dont l'une des extrémités est montée solidaire dans la gorge du second axe 34, et qui se prolonge en prenant appui derrière la seconde dent latérale 40 pour ensuite venir prendre appui dans la gorge du premier axe 30. On détaillera ci-après la lame de ressort 42, dont l'autre extrémité, ici masquée par l'arbre d'articulation 14, est solidaire de l'organe de verrouillage 28.Furthermore, the first and the second pins 30, 34 integral with the U-shaped end 20 are surmounted by a pin in which is formed a groove receiving bearing in the bottom of said groove, a leaf spring 42 whose one of the ends is integral with the groove of the second axis 34, and which is extended by taking support behind the second lateral tooth 40 to then come to bear in the groove of the first axis 30. The following will be detailed spring blade 42, whose other end, here masked by the hinge shaft 14, is integral with the locking member 28.

On se référera maintenant à la Figure 3 puis à la Figure 2 pour décrire le fonctionnement de la charnière dégondable. On retrouve sur cette Figure 3, le premier charnon 10 et le second charnon 12, séparés l'un de l'autre.Referring now to Figure 3 and Figure 2 to describe the operation of the hinge detachable. This Figure 3 shows the first knuckle 10 and the second knuckle 12, separated from one another.

En outre, on retrouve l'extrémité en U 20 du premier charnon 10, et apparaissent ici plus clairement deux ailes opposées de l'extrémité en U 20, une première aile 44 sur laquelle est monté à rotation l'organe de verrouillage 28 et une seconde 46 sur laquelle est monté à rotation l'organe de blocage 32 ; ces deux organes étant adaptés à pivoter dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au plan de la Figure 3.In addition, there is the U-shaped end 20 of the first knuckle 10, and here appear more clearly two opposite wings of the U-shaped end 20, a first flange 44 on which is rotatably mounted the locking member 28 and a second 46 on which is rotatably mounted the locking member 32; these two members being adapted to pivot in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of FIG. 3.

L'organe de verrouillage 28 est constitué d'un pêne en U comportant deux arcs opposés l'un de l'autre et réunis ensemble par une partie de fond 48 que traverse le premier axe 30. Le premier arc 50 est adapté à venir refermer l'extrémité en U 20 pour emprisonner l'arbre d'articulation 14 tandis que le second arc 52 est lui adapté à coopérer avec l'organe de blocage 32, notamment grâce à une encoche 53, pour bloquer l'organe de verrouillage 28. Par ailleurs, ce second arc 52 permet l'entraînement en rotation de l'organe de verrouillage 28 lorsque l'arbre d'articulation 14 vient s'engager dans l'extrémité en U 20.The locking member 28 consists of a U-bolt having two arcs opposite to each other and joined together by a bottom portion 48 through which the first axis 30 passes. The first arc 50 is adapted to close again. the U-shaped end 20 to trap the hinge shaft 14 while the second arc 52 is adapted to cooperate with the locking member 32, in particular by means of a notch 53, to lock the locking member 28. Moreover, this second arc 52 allows the rotation of the locking member 28 when the hinge shaft 14 engages in the U-shaped end 20.

De plus, on retrouve sur cette Figure 3 la lame de ressort 42 dont l'autre extrémité rejoint l'extrémité du premier arc 50 pour pouvoir l'entraîner en mouvement et par là-même, entraîner l'organe de verrouillage 28 en rotation.In addition, this Figure 3 shows the leaf spring 42 whose other end joins the end of the first arc 50 to be able to drive it in motion and thereby cause the locking member 28 to rotate.

On se référera maintenant à la Figure 2 afin de décrire les mouvements relatifs des différents éléments, conduisant à une situation dans laquelle les deux charnons 10, 12 sont séparés l'un de l'autre comme illustrés sur la Figure 3.Reference will now be made to FIG. 2 to describe the relative movements of the different elements, leading to a situation in which the two knuckles 10, 12 are separated from each other as illustrated in FIG. 3.

Sur cette Figure 2, où le premier charnon 10 est susceptible de pivoter autour de l'arbre d'articulation 14, qui lui est engagé dans l'extrémité en U 20, on retrouve l'organe de verrouillage 28 dans une position de verrouillage dans laquelle, le premier arc 50 referme l'extrémité en U 20 et emprisonne par là-même l'arbre d'articulation 14 à l'intérieur de cette extrémité en U 20 formant berceau, tandis que l'organe de verrouillage 28 est bloqué en rotation grâce à l'organe de blocage 32 dont la dent centrale 36, légèrement incurvée, épouse la forme du second arc 52 et vient en butée dans l'encoche 53. En outre, l'ergot d'appui 24 étendu dans le perçage oblong 22 est susceptible de venir en butée contre la première dent latérale 38.In this Figure 2, where the first knuckle 10 is pivotable about the hinge shaft 14, which is engaged in the U-shaped end 20, there is the locking member 28 in a locking position in which, the first arc 50 closes the U-shaped end 20 and thereby traps the hinge shaft 14 within this cradle U-shaped end, while the locking member 28 is locked in position. rotation through the locking member 32 whose central tooth 36, slightly curved, matches the shape of the second arc 52 and abuts in the notch 53. In addition, the support pin 24 extended in the oblong hole 22 is capable of abutting against the first lateral tooth 38.

Ainsi, on va décrire maintenant la cinématique du mouvement des éléments décrits ci-dessus. L'objet de la charnière ici représentée, est de permettre la séparation des deux charnons lorsque le premier charnon 10 pivote d'un angle déterminé dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et s'écarte du second charnon 12.Thus, we will now describe the kinematics of the movement of the elements described above. The object of the hinge shown here, is to allow the separation of the two knuckles when the first knuckle 10 rotates at a given angle in the direction of clockwise and deviates from the second knuckle 12.

Par conséquent, lorsque la porte est entraînée à partir d'une position d'obturation vers une position d'ouverture, le premier charnon 10 tend à pivoter dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre selon F. La première dent latérale 38 prend alors appui contre l'ergot d'appui 24 et, au fur et à mesure du pivotement, l'ergot d'appui 24, libre dans le perçage oblong 22, entraîne à son tour en rotation l'organe de blocage 32 autour de son second axe 34 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre selon T, ce qui tend à écarter la dent centrale 36 du second arc 52 et par là-même de libérer l'encoche 53. Par ailleurs, le mouvement de rotation de l'organe de blocage 32 provoque également le pivotement de la seconde dent latérale 40 qui vient alors tirer la lame de ressort 42 qui est en appui dans la gorge du premier axe 30 et qui renvoie l'effort de tirage sur l'extrémité du premier arc 50. Cet effort de tirage tend ainsi à faire pivoter l'organe de verrouillage 28 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre autour du premier axe 30.Therefore, when the door is driven from a closed position to an open position, the first knuckle 10 tends to rotate clockwise along F. The first lateral tooth 38 then takes bearing against the bearing lug 24 and, as the pivoting takes place, the bearing lug 24, free in the oblong bore 22, in turn rotates the locking member 32 around its second axis 34 counterclockwise along T, which tends to move the central tooth 36 of the second arc 52 and thereby release the notch 53. Moreover, the rotational movement of the locking member 32 also causes the pivoting of the second lateral tooth 40 which then pulls the spring leaf 42 which bears in the groove of the first axis 30 and which returns the pulling force on the end of the first arc 50. This pulling effort thus tends to rotate the locking member 28 counterclockwise about the first axis 30.

De la sorte, dès que le pivotement du premier charnon 10 a atteint un certain angle, la dent centrale 36 a alors totalement libéré l'encoche 53 et l'organe de verrouillage 28 peut alors pivoter pour libérer l'arbre d'articulation 14 de l'extrémité en U 20. Cet angle étant atteint, la porte peut être entraînée en translation puisque le premier charnon 10 peut être désolidarisé du second charnon 12. Cette situation étant illustrée sur la Figure 3. En revanche, tant que cet angle n'est pas atteint, le premier charnon 10 pivote autour de l'arbre d'articulation 14 qui lui reste maintenu en position fixe.In this way, as soon as the pivoting of the first knuckle 10 has reached a certain angle, the central tooth 36 then completely releases the notch 53 and the locking member 28 can then pivot to release the hinge shaft 14. the end U. 20. This angle being reached, the door can be driven in translation since the first knuckle 10 can be detached from the second knuckle 12. This situation is illustrated in Figure 3. On the other hand, as long as this angle n ' is not reached, the first knuckle 10 pivots about the hinge shaft 14 which remains held in a fixed position.

Bien évidemment, en sens inverse, lorsque la porte est entraînée vers sa position d'obturation, l'extrémité en U 20 du premier charnon 10 est adaptée à venir en prise sur l'arbre d'articulation 14 pour le verrouiller. Pour ce faire, et ainsi que l'illustre la Figure 3, lorsque l'extrémité en U 20 vient en approche de l'arbre d'articulation 14, le second arc 52 est adapté à venir en butée contre cet arbre d'articulation 14 et par là, lorsque cette extrémité en U 20 est entraînée vers l'arbre d'articulation 14, l'organe de verrouillage 28 tend à pivoter dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et le premier arc 50 vient refermer l'extrémité en U 20 formant berceau, derrière l'arbre d'articulation 14 pour l'emprisonner. En bout de course, l'extrémité du premier arc 50 entraîne en mouvement, et à l'inverse, ladite autre extrémité de la lame de ressort 42 et simultanément l'organe de blocage, par l'intermédiaire de la seconde dent latérale recourbée 40 de telle manière que la dent centrale 36 vient s'encliqueter dans l'encoche 53 pour bloquer à nouveau en rotation l'organe de verrouillage 28.Of course, in the opposite direction, when the door is driven to its closed position, the U-shaped end 20 of the first knuckle 10 is adapted to engage on the hinge shaft 14 to lock it. To do this, and as illustrated in FIG. 3, when the U-shaped end 20 comes into approach with the hinge shaft 14, the second arc 52 is adapted to abut against this hinge shaft 14 and thereby, when this U-shaped end 20 is driven towards the hinge shaft 14, the locking member 28 tends to rotate clockwise and the first arc 50 closes the end in a direction of rotation. 20 forming a cradle, behind the hinge shaft 14 to imprison. At the end of the stroke, the end of the first arc 50 drives in movement, and inversely, said other end of the leaf spring 42 and simultaneously the blocking member, via the second bent lateral tooth 40 in such a way that the central tooth 36 snaps into the notch 53 to lock the locking member 28 again in rotation.

Et on se retrouve alors dans une situation identique à celle qui est illustrée à la Figure 2. Ainsi, la porte est fermement reliée au véhicule automobile, puisque qu'elle y reste accrochée tant que le premier charnon 10 n'a pas pivoté par rapport au second charnon 12. Ce qui constitue une sécurité en cas de choc.And then we find ourselves in a situation identical to that shown in Figure 2. Thus, the door is firmly connected to the motor vehicle, since it remains attached to it as long as the first knuckle 10 has not rotated relative to second knuckle 12. Which constitutes a safety in case of shock.
