- a motor vehicle is equipped with doors with a window intended to be closed by a window.
- the window is slidably mounted vertically by a mechanism called the window lifter mechanism.
- the mechanism is manual, a user manipulating in rotation a crank 8 to raise or lower the window.
- the invention relates to a crank fixing device for a manual mechanism.
- the window rises and falls in a closed door box to the outside, the box having an opening towards the inside, that is to say towards the passenger compartment, to allow the mounting of various accessories such as the window lift.
- the interior opening of the box is closed by a covering panel 10, along which the crank 8 rotates for the mobility of the window.
- the accessories in particular the window lifter mechanism connected to the window, generally mounted in the box, then the panel is mounted on the box to close the opening.
- the mechanism comprises a rod 12 of axis A, connected for example to a cable allowing the sliding of the window.
- the rod 12 is located opposite an orifice 14 of the panel 10.
- the crank 8 has an elongated body 16. At a free end of the body 16, the crank comprises a rotary knob 18 along a transverse axis, parallel to the axis A. At the other end, the body 16 comprises a transverse leg 19, to which a sleeve 20 is connected. According to an axis A transverse to the body 16, a bore 22 is formed in the foot 19 and the sleeve 20. An annular rib 24 of axial retention projects into the bore 22.
- the sleeve 20 is provided with slots 21, for example at the number of four evenly distributed every 90 degrees, so that the sleeve has four legs in the form of a tube portion. At rest, the legs of the sleeve 20 go in
- the device comprises a ring 40.
- the ring 40 comprises a tubular body 42 adapted to be mounted along the axis A. At one end of the body 42, the ring has a radial neck 44 perpendicular to the axis A. At the other end of the body 42, the ring 40 has returns 46 forming snap hook ge.
- the ring 40 has returns 46 forming snap hook ge.
- the device comprises a washer 48 adapted to be fixed to the body 42, between the neck 44 and the snap hooks 46.
- the neck 44 is adapted to cooperate with one face of the panel 10 and the washer 48 is adapted to cooperate with the other face of the panel 10.
- the ring 40 equipped with its washer 48 is fixed in the orifice 14 of the panel 10.
- the method comprises: • a step of engaging the ring 40 in the orifice 14 of the panel 10, with engagement of the body 42 in the orifice 14 until the neck 44 cooperates with one face of the ring p, • a step of snap-fastening of the washer 48 on the ring 40 for fixing the ring in the orifice 14. the washer cooperating with the other side of the panel. If the panel 10 allows access to its face located opposite the box, near the orifice 1 4, the two preceding steps can be carried out after mounting the panel 10 on the box.
- the method then comprises the following stages : • a stage of elastic deformation of the panel 10 by exerting an axial thrust, that is to say along the axis A, on the panel in the direction of the mechanism, so that the panel is at least set back in the box relative to the groove 15, • a step of engaging the sleeve 20 on the rod 12, until the end of the rod 12 is in abutment in the bottom of the bore , the rib 24 being at the level of the groove 15, • a step of engaging the ring 40 on the sleeve performed by releasing said thrust, the engagement of the ring 40 on the sleeve 20 making the legs of the sleeve 20 tighten against the rod 12 and causing the rib 24 to engage in the groove 15.
- the device When the panel 0 has returned to the box by the thrust causing elastic deformation, the device is in the mounting position. After the assembly steps, the device is in the position of use relative to the covering panel 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the panel 10 is in a position of use without deformation.
- the sleeve 20 passes through the orifice 14 when the crank 8 is mounted on the rod 12.
- the rib 24 is in correspondence with the groove 15, for indexing and axial locking.
- a collar 30 of the net 16 is flush with the panel 10, around the orifice 14. The collar 30 conceals the orifice 14 and the ring 40 in view of the users of the vehicle.
- the presence of the ring 40 makes it possible to secure the assembly of the sleeve 20 relative to the rod 12. An untimely disassembly of the sleeve 20 and the rod 12 is thus avoided.
- Disassembly of the vehicle window mechanism crank fixing device is carried out according to the following method, for vehicle maintenance: • a step of elastic deformation of the panel 10 by exerting an axial thrust, ie ie according to Tax A, on the panel 10 in the direction of the mechanism, that is to say towards the outside or towards the box, with disengagement of the ring 40 relative to the sleeve 20, • maintaining the thrust axial, a step of disengaging the sleeve 20 relative to the rod 12 by pulling axially on the crank 8.
- the panel is retracted into the box by said elastic deformation, the panel is in the disassembly position, authorizing the disassembly of the device.
- the ring 40 slides relative to the sleeve 20 between an engaged position of the ring 40 and the sleeve 20 with axial locking of the sleeve 20 relative to the rod 12 by and a position released from the ring 40 and the sleeve
- the panel 10 forms an elastic means suitable for exerting an axial thrust on the rail between the engaged and released positions of the ring, here the mounting position.
- the ring 400 is not secured to the panel 10. It is mounted on the mechanism 402 by means of a spring 404 which pushes it towards the panel 10.
- the ring 400 has an outer face 460 facing the mechanism 402 for cooperation with the spring 404.
- the ba 400 has a frustoconical housing 462 provided to cooperate with the free outer end of the sleeve
- the assembly process is as follows, after mounting the spring 404 and the ring 400 on the mechanism 402: • a step of preliminary engagement of the sleeve 20 on the rod 12, with engagement of the ring 400 on the sleeve 20, without tightening the legs of the sleeve 20 against the rod 12, with sliding of the rib 24 against the rod, • a final engagement step, with tightening of the legs of the sleeve 20 against the rod 12 during the engagement of the rib 24 in the groove 15 under the pushing action of the ring 400.
- the ring 400 is adapted to slide relative to the sleeve 20 between a position engaged of the ring 400 and the sleeve 20 with axial locking of the sleeve 20 relative to the rod 12 by and a disengaged position of the ring 400 and the sleeve 20.
- the spring 404 forms an elastic means exerting an axial thrust on the ring between the engaged and released positions of the ring.
- the disassembly is carried out according to the following method: • a step of elastic deformation of the panel 10 by exerting an axial thrust, that is to say along the axis A, on the panel 10 in the direction of the mechanism, c ' that is to say towards the outside or towards the box, with compression of the spring 404 • insertion of a tool in the orifice 14 to keep the spring 404 compressed by pressing on the ring 400, that is to say by actuating the spring 404 • while maintaining the axial thrust on the panel 10 and the ring 400, a step of disengaging the sleeve 20 relative to the rod 12 by pulling axially on the crank 8.
