Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to door stop devices, particularly in the automotive field. More particularly, this invention is concerned with a door stop device which is integrated into a hinge, whereby the door considered is hinged to the body of the vehicle concerned.
  • Doors that equip vehicles usually have hinges that allow their opening at an angle of the order of 90 °, which does not allow to fold the door against a sidewall of the vehicle body.
  • Such doors are usually equipped with a door stop device, which allows them to be immobilized or indexed in at least one intermediate open position, for example a 90 ° open position in which the door is located perpendicular to the side of the vehicle body.
  • the door stop devices are mechanisms independent of the hinges of the door.
  • vehicles are known in which a door stop device is integrated into a hinge hinge of the door in question.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a door hinge, incorporating a door stop device suitable for this type of door, and made invisible from the outside when the door is closed, this hinge allowing greater opening on demand.
  • the retractable movable member has a conjugate shape, cooperating with the projecting member of the movable knuckle, and a portion which in connection with the movable stop is provided for positioning the projecting element in a defined position.
  • the projecting element pivots, with the movable knuckle, around the axis of articulation of the hinge, and it comes into contact, at a given moment, with the conjugate form of the retractable movable element, which it pushes against the action of the associated spring.
  • the retractable mobile element is pushed back by its spring, and the three elements (retractable movable element, projecting element and stop) are found held together, one of the elements being blocked angularly between the two others.
  • the movable knuckle which is provided with the projecting element, therefore the door itself, are then stopped in an intermediate open position.
  • This intermediate open position defined by the door stop device integrated in the hinge, is in particular a position in which the door is open at 90 °.
  • the movable stop preferably has a locking face, preferably substantially flat and parallel to the axis of articulation of the hinge, this locking face being turned towards the projecting element, while on the opposite face of the movable stop, is arranged a conjugate form such as erasure ramp which allows the retraction of the movable stop, said stop mobile being immobilized in rotation relative to the knuckle that supports it.
  • a control element of the manual type acting against the action of the spring.
  • the movable stop can be extended by a rod which directly carries a control means of manual type, accessible, in particular button-shaped.
  • the manual control means is located away from the hinge, and mechanically connected to the movable stop.
  • the projecting element is immobilized by the locking face of the movable stop. From this position, the door can be closed without special action, the projecting element then pushing the retractable movable member through the conjugate form.
  • the user must operate the manual control means to retract the movable stop against the action of its spring, allowing the moving knuckle to continue its rotation at beyond the intermediate opening position and up to the final stop of the door.
  • the closing thereof is done without any particular action, by inverse rotation of the moving knuckle, the conjugate form (erasure ramp) arranged on the movable stop allowing the passage of the intermediate open position towards the closed position.
  • the hinge shown in the drawing serves for the articulation of a swing door 2, indicated schematically in FIGS. 5 and 6, on a body 3 of a motor vehicle, partially shown.
  • the door 2 is movable between a closed position (FIG. 5) and a full open position, for example open at 180 ° (FIG. 6), passing through intermediate positions, such as an open position at 90 °.
  • the hinge 1 is designed for the articulation of the door 2 between the "closed door” (FIG. 5) and “open door” positions (FIG. 6), and for the indexing of this door 2 in the intermediate open position. shown in Figure 3 (for the elements of the hinge).
  • the hinge 1 comprises a fixed knuckle 4, intended to be fixed on the body 3 by a base 5.
  • This hinge 1 also comprises a movable knuckle 7, provided to be secured to the door 2 by a base 8.
  • the two knuckles, respectively fixed 4 and movable 7, are interconnected in a hinged manner by a hinge axis 10, substantially vertical.
  • the hinge axis 10 defines a geometric axis of articulation, which is designated by A.
  • the components described below constitute the door stop device integrated in the hinge 1.
  • These components comprise, on the fixed knuckle 4, a retractable movable member 17 mounted in a guide bore 18 of the fixed knuckle 4, along an axis B parallel to the hinge axis A, and away from this hinge axis A from a distance d.
  • the retractable mobile element 17 is biased by a spring 19, associated with the guide bore 18.
  • the retractable movable member 17 is constituted by a rotary cam, rotatably mounted by an axis 16 introduced into the bore 18 of the fixed knuckle 4.
  • the spring 19, which urges in rotation retractable movable member 17 shaped as a cam, is a torsion spring mounted between the fixed knuckle 4 and said retractable movable member 17.
  • This retractable movable member 17 has, on its active face, at least one notch or a rounded notch defining a position intermediate stop.
  • the components of the door stop device comprise, on the movable knuckle 7, a projecting element 21 mounted in such a way as to come into contact with the retractable mobile element 17.
  • the zone of the retractable mobile element 17, which cooperates with the projecting element 21 has a conjugate geometry allowing the retraction.
  • the projecting element 21 is constituted by a roller mounted to rotate on a finger 22 parallel to the hinge axis A, and connected to the movable knuckle 7.
  • This roller 21 is provided for cooperate with the retractable movable member 17 shaped cam, and more particularly to engage in the notch (or one of the notches) of this cam.
  • said components further comprise a movable stop 23, which is slidably mounted in a sleeve-shaped part 24 of the knuckle 4, following a C axis parallel to the hinge axis A, and away from this hinge axis A by a certain distance D, the same order as the distance d between the axes A and B.
  • the movable stop 23 is urged outwards by a spring 25, also mounted in the sleeve-shaped portion 24 of the knuckle 4.
  • a rod 27, which extends the movable stop 23, passes through the end of the sleeve 24 and comprises at its end a small control button 28, here ring-shaped.
  • the movable stop 23 has a square or rectangular horizontal section, avoiding its rotation relative to the fixed knuckle 4, so that it has a single degree of freedom (translation along the axis C) relative to the knuckle receiving it.
  • This movable stop 23 has a locking lateral face 29, substantially flat and parallel to the axes A, B and C, thus vertical, which is turned (in the circumferential direction) towards the projecting element 21.
  • the retractable mobile element 17 can be retained between the projecting element 21 on the one hand, and the locking face 29 of the movable stop 23 on the other hand, coming into abutment on this face of blocking 29, or the projecting element 21 is retained between the retractable movable element 17 and the locking face 29 of the movable abutment 23.
  • the door 2 is thus indexed in a 90 ° open position, as the FIG. 3 is a diagram. Starting from the 90 ° open position, the door 2 can be closed by a reverse pivoting movement of the previously described one, by ironing the "hard point" made by the retractable mobile element 17.
  • the door 2 can also be opened more widely.
  • the user manually grasps the control button 28, and he pulls the movable stop 23, against the action of the spring 25 which is compressed.
  • the abutment 23 is thus retracted, and the door 2 can be pivoted beyond its open position at 90 °, until it comes to a maximum opening stop.
  • the door 2 can thus be brought for example into a fully open position close to 180 °, a position that can be defined by a stop made on one or the other of the two hinges by which the door 2 is articulated on the bodywork 3.
  • the fixed knuckle 4 advantageously has a clearance 31 allowing the end portion of the door 2 located opposite the opening to be housed.
