Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge device for a motor vehicle door.
  • Motor vehicles usually have openings, which can be closed by doors, which are generally pivotally mounted along one of the side edges of each of these openings.
  • the vehicles comprise a body-lined wall, and the openings in this wall which open into the bodywork define an outer edge and an inner edge in the wall thickness.
  • the hinge device comprises a U-shaped hinge, which makes it possible to connect a door to the wall, completely retracting this hinge in the thickness of the wall when the door is in a closed position.
  • the wall has a cavity that opens into the inner edge, between an outer side edge which runs along the outer edge in the vicinity of the body and an opposite side edge.
  • the U-shaped hinge has one end which is integral with the door and another opposite end which is pivotally mounted in the cavity near the outer side edge. In this way, when the door is in a closed position, the hinge is housed in the cavity and when the door is driven to an open position, it pivots about one end of the U-shaped hinge, while the other end is driven out of the cavity to the outside so as to substantially separate the door from the opening of the opening so as not to deform the body part corresponding to the outer edge.
  • the U-shaped hinge is a light color while the body is a dark color.
  • the U-shaped hinge located partially in the cavity is then visible from the outside of the motor vehicle between the edge outside and the door that pivots, especially since it is relatively clear compared to the body.
  • the cavity which is usually relatively wide also appears and influences the perceived quality.
  • the document US 2,284,320 A also discloses a device for hinging a door on a wall of a motor vehicle, the hinge device being provided with a flexible mask capable of concealing the opening cavity of the joint when the door is in the open position.
  • the flexible mask is attached only to a fixed portion of the wall while an opposite end of the flexible mask is in abutment and rubs against the hinge.
  • an object of the present invention is then to provide a hinge device that allows for advantageous costs, reduce this feeling of lower quality for the potential user of a motor vehicle.
  • the present invention provides a device for articulating a motor vehicle door on a vehicle wall in which an opening is made, said opening defining a side wall portion having an outer edge and a substantially perpendicular inner edge. at said outer edge, said wall portion having a cavity opening into said inner edge, between an outer side edge along said outer edge and an opposite side edge, said hinge device comprising a U-shaped hinge having a first end secured to said door and a second end pivotally mounted in said cavity in the vicinity of said outer lateral edge, so that said door is pivotally movable between a closed position in which it closes said opening and wherein said U-shaped hinge is housed at least partially in said cavity, and a position of opening in which said door is spaced from said opening and wherein said U-shaped hinge is at least partially disengaged from said cavity; and according to the invention, in said closed position, said door is set back from said outer edge so as to expose said cavity, said first end of said U-shaped hinge being located in the vicinity of said opposite side edge; joint comprises
  • a feature of the invention lies in the implementation of the flexible strip which extends between the outer lateral edge and the first end of the U-shaped hinge and which obscures the inside of the cavity and the U-shaped hinge. when the door is driven to its open position.
  • the flexible strip which extends between the outer lateral edge and the first end of the U-shaped hinge and which obscures the inside of the cavity and the U-shaped hinge. when the door is driven to its open position.
  • said opening is made in a rear wall of said vehicle, in which a trunk is generally located and, preferably, said side wall portion is formed by a portion of a rear bumper of said motor vehicle.
  • a trunk is generally located and, preferably, said side wall portion is formed by a portion of a rear bumper of said motor vehicle.
  • this rectangular tongue is preformed with an end curved so as to correspond to the shape it has in a situation where the closed range.
  • said tab has a bulged end in which is formed a rabbet, said bulbous end being adapted to be connected to said outer side edge, by forcing said outer lateral edge. in said rabbet.
  • the tongue is molded in one piece with its bulbous end and rebate.
  • said tongue preferably has a pierced end opposite to said bulged end, said pierced end being intended to receive at least one rivet integral with said first end of said U-shaped hinge.
  • the tongue is molded from one piece with its pierced end to save the material in which it is molded.
  • said U-shaped hinge has, from said second end towards said first end, a first branch extended by a bottom portion forming a substantially acute angle with said first branch, said bottom portion being extended by a second branch forming an angle substantially obtuse with said bottom portion.
  • the pivot point can be provided behind a rim in the cavity, thus allowing the clearance of the door at a distance from the edge outer, an inner wall of the bottom portion being adapted to abut against said outer lateral edge of the cavity.
  • the U-shaped hinge can provide a clearance of substantially 180 °, between the closed position of the door and the open position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a hinge device 10 according to the invention for mounting a rear door 12 at the rear of a motor vehicle 14 to close an opening 16 opening into a trunk 18.
  • Figure 1 shows here a horizontal section formed in the lower part of a wall 19 of the vehicle at a rear shield 20 which covers it, and a U-shaped hinge 22 which connects the door 12 to the wall 19.
  • the U-shaped hinge 22 is here represented in two positions, spaced 170 ° from each other, a closed position 24 in which the door 12 closes the opening 16 and an open position 26 in which the door 12 is removed from the opening 16.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates in rear view a portion of the motor vehicle according to the arrow V carried on the Figure 1 , in which is located the hinge device 10 according to the invention. There is the rear shield 20 and the rear door 12 here in the closed position.
  • the wall 19 covered with the rear bumper 20 has an outer rim 28 and an inner rim 30, the two edges inclined one to the other. relative to each other by about 90 °, being separated by a ridge 32.
  • the door 12 extends in a plane substantially parallel to the rear bumper 20 and therefore substantially perpendicular to the inner edge 30.
  • the wall 19 has a cavity 34 here closed by a flexible tongue 36 substantially rectangular and which will be detailed with reference to the Figure 1 .
  • the flexible tongue 36 closes the cavity 34 substantially in the plane of the inner edge 30, between an outer side edge 38 adjacent to the edge 32 and an opposite side edge 40 here masked by the door 12 but that the we find on the Figure 1 .
  • the U-shaped hinge 22 has a first branch 39 whose end 41 is pivotally shown inside the cavity 34 around a vertical pivot 42 situated in the vicinity of the outer lateral edge 38 and which is extended by a portion of bottom 44 inclined at an acute angle with the first branch 39, then by a second branch 46 inclined it at an obtuse angle with respect to the bottom portion 44.
  • This second branch 46 ends with an enlarged end 48 directly connected to the rear door 12.
  • the tongue 36 has a bulged edge 50 in which is formed a rebate 52 and an opposite end in which there is a bore 54.
  • the rabbet 52 then allows to embed the outer side edge 38 to connect them together. without other artifice, while the opposite end of the tongue 36 is riveted through the bore 54 in the widened end 48 of the second leg 46 of the U-shaped hinge 22.
  • the tongue 36 preformed plastic for example, has a opposite end curved inwardly of the cavity 34 so as to maintain its convex portion bearing against the enlarged end 48.
  • the tongue 36 is flexible so as to be able to deform when the door 12 is driven to its open position 26 and that the U-shaped hinge 22 then pivots in the direction of clockwise with reference to the Figure 1 .
  • the opposite end of the tongue 36 which is integral with the widened end 48 of the U-shaped hinge 22, is then also pivoted along the travel path. the enlarged end 48, the opposite end being first approached the bulged edge 50 and then moved away when the U-shaped hinge 22 approaches the open position 26. In the latter position, where the U-shaped hinge 22 is at least partially located outside the cavity 34, the tongue 36 is then deformed in a substantially S-shape.
  • the tongue 36 is deformed again to resume its initial position also represented in FIG. Figure 2 , in which it closes the cavity 34 substantially in the plane of the inner edge 30. In this way, not only the cavity 34 is closed, which prevents the penetration of debris or dust into the thickness of the wall 19 but at the Moreover, since the tongue 36 is of a tone comparable to that of the rear bumper 20, the bodywork at the rear of the vehicle appears substantially continuous which accentuates the perception of the quality of the vehicle. In addition, the tab 36 masks the U-shaped hinge 22 which generally is lighter in tone and contrasts with the generally anthracite color of the rear bumper 20.
