- 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 °.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne, de façon générale, les dispositifs d'arrêt de porte, notamment dans le domaine automobile. Plus particulièrement, cette invention s'intéresse à un dispositif d'arrêt de porte qui est intégré à une charnière, par laquelle la porte considérée est articulée sur la carrosserie du véhicule concerné.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.
Les portes qui équipent les véhicules possèdent habituellement des charnières qui permettent leur ouverture selon un angle de l'ordre de 90°, ce qui ne permet pas de rabattre la porte contre un flanc de la carrosserie du véhicule.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.
Dans la très grande majorité des cas, les charnières de portes pour lesquelles il est souhaité un angle d'ouverture plus important sont alors visibles de l'extérieur.In the vast majority of cases, door hinges for which a larger opening angle is desired are then visible from the outside.
De telles portes sont habituellement équipées d'un dispositif d'arrêt de porte, qui permet de les immobiliser ou de les indexer dans au moins une position d'ouverture intermédiaire, par exemple une position d'ouverture à 90° dans laquelle la porte se situe perpendiculairement au flanc de la carrosserie du véhicule.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.
En règle générale, les dispositifs d'arrêt de porte sont des mécanismes indépendants des charnières de la porte. On connaît cependant des véhicules dans lesquels un dispositif d'arrêt de porte est intégré à une charnière d'articulation de la porte considérée.As a rule, the door stop devices are mechanisms independent of the hinges of the door. However, vehicles are known in which a door stop device is integrated into a hinge hinge of the door in question.
En l'état actuel de la technique, il n'existe pas de charnière de porte de véhicule, qui soit invisible du moins en position fermée et qui, de plus, incorpore un dispositif d'arrêt de porte «déverrouillable».In the current state of the art, there is no vehicle door hinge, which is invisible at least in the closed position and which, in addition, incorporates an "unlockable" door stop device.
Le but de la présente invention est donc de fournir une charnière de porte, incorporant un dispositif d'arrêt de porte approprié pour ce genre de porte, et rendue invisible de l'extérieur lorsque la porte est fermée, cette charnière permettant une ouverture plus importante à la demande.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.
A cet effet, l'invention a essentiellement pour objet une charnière de porte avec arrêt de porte intégré et autorisant une grande ouverture, typiquement selon un angle supérieur à 90°, la charnière comprenant un charnon fixe prévu pour être fixé sur une carrosserie de véhicule, un charnon mobile prévu pour être solidarisé avec la porte, et un axe de charnière qui relie de façon articulée le charnon mobile au charnon fixe, en définissant un axe d'articulation, la charnière étant essentiellement caractérisée en ce que, pour constituer un dispositif d'arrêt de la porte dans au moins une position d'ouverture intermédiaire :
- le charnon fixe ou mobile possède un alésage de guidage d'axe parallèle à l'axe d'articulation, et situé à distance réduite de ce dernier, alésage de guidage dans lequel est monté un élément mobile escamotable sollicité par un ressort,
- l'autre charnon, mobile ou fixe selon le cas, porte au moins un élément saillant prévu pour coopérer avec une partie de l'élément mobile escamotable ou avec l'élément saillant.
- une butée solidaire de l'un des charnons est montée mobile dans une position angulaire différente de celle de l'élément saillant, la butée mobile étant sollicitée par un ressort et comportant un moyen de commande pour son déplacement à l'encontre de l'action du ressort, cette butée mobile étant prévue pour coopérer également avec l'élément mobile escamotable ou avec l'élément saillant.
- the fixed or movable knuckle has a guide bore axis parallel to the axis of articulation, and located at a reduced distance from the latter, guide bore in which is mounted a retractable movable member biased by a spring,
- the other knuckle, mobile or fixed as appropriate, carries at least one projecting element provided to cooperate with a portion of the movable movable member or with the projecting element.
- an abutment integral with one of the knuckles is movably mounted in a different angular position from that of the projecting element, the movable stop being biased by a spring and comprising a control means for its displacement against the action spring, this movable stop being provided to cooperate also with the retractable movable element or with the projecting element.
De préférence, l'élément mobile escamotable possède une forme conjuguée, coopérant avec l'élément saillant du charnon mobile, et une partie qui en liaison avec la butée mobile est prévue pour positionner l'élément saillant dans une position définie.Preferably, 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.
Ainsi, lors de l'ouverture de la porte, l'élément saillant pivote, avec le charnon mobile, autour de l'axe d'articulation de la charnière, et il entre en contact , à un moment donné, avec la forme conjuguée de l'élément mobile escamotable , qu'il repousse à l'encontre de l'action du ressort associé. Une fois passé ce "point dur", l'élément mobile escamotable est repoussé par son ressort, et les trois éléments (élément mobile escamotable, élément saillant et butée) se retrouvent retenus entre eux, l'un des éléments se trouvant bloqué angulairement entre les deux autres. Le charnon mobile qui est pourvu de l'élément saillant, donc la porte elle-même, se trouvent alors arrêtés dans une position d'ouverture intermédiaire. Cette position d'ouverture intermédiaire, définie par le dispositif d'arrêt de porte intégré à la charnière, est notamment une position dans laquelle la porte est ouverte à 90°.Thus, when opening the door, 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. Once past this "hard point", 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 °.
La butée mobile possède, de préférence, une face de blocage, de préférence sensiblement plane et parallèle à l'axe d'articulation de la charnière, cette face de blocage étant tournée vers l'élément saillant, tandis que sur la face opposée de la butée mobile, est aménagée une forme conjuguée telle que rampe d'effacement qui permet l'escamotage de la butée mobile, ladite butée mobile étant immobilisée en rotation relativement au charnon qui la supporte. A cette butée mobile est avantageusement associé un élément de commande de type manuel, agissant à l'encontre de l'action du ressort.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. To this movable stop is advantageously associated a control element of the manual type, acting against the action of the spring.
Plus particulièrement, la butée mobile peut être prolongée par une tige qui porte directement un moyen de commande de type manuel, accessible, notamment en forme de bouton. En variante, le moyen de commande manuel est situé à distance de la charnière, et relié mécaniquement à la butée mobile.More particularly, the movable stop can be extended by a rod which directly carries a control means of manual type, accessible, in particular button-shaped. Alternatively, the manual control means is located away from the hinge, and mechanically connected to the movable stop.
Ainsi, en position d'ouverture intermédiaire par exemple à 90°, l'élément saillant est immobilisé par la face de blocage de la butée mobile. Partant de cette position, la porte peut être refermée sans action particulière, l'élément saillant repoussant alors l'élément mobile escamotable grâce à la forme conjuguée. Par contre, pour ouvrir plus largement la porte, l'utilisateur doit actionner le moyen de commande manuel afin d'escamoter la butée mobile à l'encontre de l'action de son ressort, ce qui permet au charnon mobile de continuer sa rotation au-delà de la position d'ouverture intermédiaire, et jusqu'à la butée finale de la porte.Thus, in the intermediate open position for example at 90 °, 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. By cons, to open the door wider, 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.
A partir de la position d'ouverture complète de la porte, la fermeture de celle-ci se fait sans action particulière, par rotation inverse du charnon mobile, la forme conjuguée (rampe d'effacement) aménagée sur la butée mobile permettant le passage de la position d'ouverture intermédiaire vers la position de fermeture.From the fully open position 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.
Dans l'ensemble, il est ainsi réalisé une charnière compacte, incorporant un dispositif d'arrêt en position intermédiaire, cette charnière étant entièrement dissimulée et invisible de l'extérieur du moins lorsque la porte concernée est fermée. La conception d'ensemble de la charnière est simple et adaptée aux exigences de fabrication et d'utilisation :
- La butée mobile peut prendre des positions relatives variées en fonction de l'accessibilité au déverrouillage.
- Une simple section de forme carrée ou rectangulaire, pour la butée mobile, assure son immobilisation en rotation relativement au charnon mobile, pour le positionnement de ses faces.
- L'élément mobile escamotable peut posséder des configurations variables.
- Des formes adaptées, sur les différents composants de la charnière, permettent l'écoulement de la cataphorèse.
- Cette charnière est particulièrement robuste, et notamment résistante aux efforts, tels que ceux résultant d'un coup de vent, en position d'ouverture intermédiaire.
- De plus, en ce qui concerne le fonctionnement de la charnière, la maîtrise des couples notamment au passage de la position d'ouverture intermédiaire est aisément obtenue, par la forme de l'élément mobile escamotable (en particulier par conjugaison des formes au regard de l'élément saillant) et par le tarage du ressort qui sollicite cet élément.
- The movable stop may take various relative positions depending on the accessibility to unlocking.
- A simple section of square or rectangular shape, for the movable stop, ensures its immobilization in rotation relative to the moving knuckle, for the positioning of its faces.
- The retractable movable element may have variable configurations.
- Suitable shapes on the different components of the hinge allow the flow of cataphoresis.
- This hinge is particularly robust, and particularly resistant to forces, such as those resulting from a gust of wind, in the intermediate open position.
- Moreover, with regard to the operation of the hinge, the control of the torques, in particular at the passage of the intermediate open position, is easily obtained by the shape of the retractable movable element (in particular by conjugating the shapes with respect to the protruding element) and the setting of the spring which solicits this element.

Le fonctionnement de la charnière 1, précédemment décrite, s'établit comme suit :The operation of the hinge 1, previously described, is as follows:
Il est supposé, au départ, que la porte 2 est fermée (voir les figures 2 et 5). Dans cette position, la charnière 1 est rendue entièrement invisible, car elle est dissimulée par la porte 2 et par la carrosserie 3. L'embase 5 du charnon fixe 4 et l'embase 8 du charnon mobile 7 sont alors sensiblement parallèles. Les positions relatives de l'axe d'articulation A, de l'axe B de l'élément mobile escamotable 17, de l'axe C de la butée mobile 23 et de l'élément saillant 21 sont bien visibles sur ces figures 2 et 5, la position relative de ces trois éléments étant dépendante de l'architecture retenue.It is assumed, initially, that the
Lors de l'ouverture de la porte 2, à l'approche d'une position d'ouverture intermédiaire à 90°, l'élément saillant 21 qui pivote (avec le charnon mobile 7) autour de l'axe d'articulation A rentre en contact avec l'élément mobile escamotable 17, qui se rétracte alors grâce à la torsion du ressort 19. Une fois passé ce "point dur", l'élément mobile escamotable 17 revient à sa position initiale sous l'effet du ressort 19, et les trois éléments se retrouvent retenus entre eux, l'un des éléments se trouvant bloqué angulairement entre les deux autres. L'élément mobile escamotable 17 peut se trouver retenu entre l'élément saillant 21 d'une part, et la face de blocage 29 de la butée mobile 23 d'autre part, en venant en butée franche sur cette face de blocage 29, ou bien l'élément saillant 21 est retenu entre l'élément mobile escamotable 17 et la face de blocage 29 de la butée mobile 23. La porte 2 est ainsi indexée dans une position d'ouverture à 90°, comme l'illustre la figure 3. Partant de la position d'ouverture à 90°, la porte 2 peut être refermée, par un mouvement de pivotement inverse de celui précédemment décrit, en repassant le "point dur" réalisé par l'élément mobile escamotable 17.When the
Toujours à partir de la position d'ouverture à 90° (figure 3), la porte 2 peut aussi être ouverte plus largement. A cet effet, l'utilisateur saisit manuellement le bouton de commande 28, et il tire la butée mobile 23, à l'encontre de l'action du ressort 25 qui se comprime. La butée 23 se trouve ainsi escamotée, et la porte 2 peut être pivotée au-delà de sa position d'ouverture à 90°, jusqu'à venir en butée d'ouverture maximale. Comme l'illustrent les figures 4 et 6, la porte 2 peut être ainsi amenée par exemple dans une position d'ouverture complète proche de 180°, position qui peut être définie par une butée réalisée sur l'une ou l'autre des deux charnières par laquelle la porte 2 est articulée sur la carrosserie 3.Still from the open position at 90 ° (Figure 3), the
Dans cette position d'ouverture complète, le charnon fixe 4 présente avantageusement un dégagement 31 permettant à la partie extrême de la porte 2 située à l'opposé de l'ouverture de venir se loger.In this fully open position, the fixed
Pour refermer la porte battante 2, à partir de sa position d'ouverture complète à 180° (figure 6), il suffit de la faire pivoter en sens inverse. Grâce à la rampe d'effacement 30 aménagée sur la butée mobile 23, et coopérant avec l'élément saillant 21 ou l'élément mobile escamotable 17 suivant l'architecture adoptée, le passage de la position intermédiaire à 90° s'effectue sans difficulté, et sans intervention particulière, au cours du mouvement de fermeture de la porte 2.To close the
L'on ne s'éloignerait pas du cadre de l'invention, telle que définie dans les revendications annexées :
- en modifiant les formes de détail des composants de la charnière et du dispositif d'arrêt de porte intégré à celle-ci ;
- en changeant la position relative des trois éléments sur les charnons, par exemple en disposant la butée mobile perpendiculairement à l'axe A d'articulation ;
- en ayant recours à tous moyens équivalents de ceux décrits et illustrés, par exemple en remplaçant l'élément saillant par un galet fixe et non tournant ;
- dans le même ordre d'idées, en remplaçant le bouton de commande de la butée mobile par un organe d'une autre forme, tel qu'une palette, par un câble pour une commande à distance, ou encore par un actionneur motorisé ;
- en disposant cette charnière avec arrêt de porte intégré soit en position de charnière supérieure, soit en position de charnière inférieure de la porte concernée ;
- en destinant cette charnière non seulement à une porte, mais encore à tous autres ouvrants de véhicules, voire même à des portes ou portails utilisés dans des domaines autres que l'automobile ;
- en agençant le dispositif d'arrêt de telle sorte qu'il intervienne dans une position d'ouverture intermédiaire autre qu'à un angle de 90°, ou bien en appliquant l'invention à une porte dont l'ouverture complète est à un angle autre que 180°, par exemple un angle de 270° ;
- en réalisant cette charnière avec deux ou plusieurs positions d'ouverture intermédiaires, toutes indexées grâce au dispositif d'arrêt de porte.
- modifying the detail forms of the components of the hinge and the door stop device integrated therewith;
- changing the relative position of the three elements on the knuckles, for example by arranging the movable stopper perpendicularly to the hinge axis A;
- using all equivalent means of those described and illustrated, for example by replacing the projecting element by a fixed and non-rotating roller;
- in the same vein, by replacing the control button of the movable stop by a member of another form, such as a pallet, by a cable for a remote control, or by a motorized actuator;
- providing this hinge with integrated door stop either in the upper hinge position or in the lower hinge position of the door concerned;
- by noting this hinge not only to a door, but also to all other opening of vehicles, or even to doors or gates used in areas other than the automobile;
- arranging the stopper such that it intervenes in an intermediate open position other than at a 90 ° angle, or by applying the invention to a door whose full opening is at an angle other than 180 °, for example an angle of 270 °;
- by making this hinge with two or more intermediate opening positions, all indexed by the door stop device.
