Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a handle group for a motor vehicle door provided with a safety device suitable for preventing the door opening in a collision.
  • the object of the present invention is to make a handle group for a motor vehicle door provided with a safety device which should overcome the disadvantages mentioned above with reference to the prior art.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of the handle group according to the present invention, in a rest configuration.
  • figure 2 shows a safety device of the handle group of figure 1 in the rest configuration
  • figure 3 shows the safety device of figure 2 in an engaged configuration and with handle at rest;
  • FIG. 4 shows the handle group in a configuration with pulled handle
  • - figure 5 shows the safety device in the engaged configuration and with pulled handle.
  • reference numeral 1 globally denotes a handle group for a motor vehicle door.
  • the handle group 1 is associable to a closing mechanism suitable for switching from a closed configuration, wherein it constrains the door to the frame of the motor vehicle for preventing the opening thereof, to an open configuration, wherein the door opening is allowed.
  • the handle group comprises a grip 2 suitable for being grasped by a user and being moved from a rest configuration to a pulled configuration for allowing the door opening.
  • grip 2 comprises a hinging portion 4, usually arranged into the door, suitable for hinging the grip to a fixed bar 6, inside the door as well.
  • grip 2 comprises a handle 8, arranged on the outer surface of the door and connected to the hinging portion 2.
  • handle 8 comprises a first enlargement 8a, on the end of the hinging portion 4, a second enlargement 8b, on the opposite side, and a thinned portion 8c, which connects enlargements 8a, 8b and with the outer surface of the door forms a gripping space 10 suitable for the introduction of a hand of the user.
  • grip 2 exhibits a window 8d, for example obtained on the back surface of grip 2, in particular on the back surface of the thinned portion 8c, facing the door surface.
  • the handle group 1 comprises a control lever 20 associable to the closing mechanism for controlling it from the closed configuration to the open configuration.
  • control lever 20 is connectable to the closing mechanism by a cable (not shown), known in the field as "Bowden cable", or by a tie rod.
  • the control lever 20 is hinged to a support along an axis of rotation Z, so as to be moved and in particular rotated from a rest position, wherein it does not influence the closing mechanism, to an active position wherein it influences the closing mechanism in opening.
  • the handle group comprises elastic means suitable for constantly influencing the control lever 20 so as to oppose the passage of the control lever from the rest position to the active position.
  • the elastic means comprise a spring 22, arranged about the axis of rotation Z of the control lever 20.
  • control lever 20 comprises a hook portion 24 for the engagement with grip 2 and a pulling portion 26 for the connection to the closing mechanism.
  • the pulling portion 26 is associated to the Bowden cable or the tie rod.
  • the hook portion 24 is angularly spaced relative to the pulling portion 26, for facilitating the connection of the Bowden cable to the closing mechanism and not undergoing structural interferences between the Bowden cable and the control lever, especially ion the active position thereof.
  • the hook portion 24 is proximal to the axis of rotation Z and the pulling portion 26 is distal to the axis of rotation Z, for obtaining a lever effect that facilitates the actuation of the closing mechanism in opening also in case of a weak action on the grip.
  • the handle group 1 comprises a coupling lever 30 integral with grip 2, suitable for switching from a disengaged configuration to an engaged configuration wherein it engages the control lever 20, thus allowing the control of the closing mechanism in opening moving grip 2.
  • Said lever normally in the disengaged configuration, is influenced to stay in said configuration by elastic means (not shown).
  • the coupling lever 30 comprises a lever body 32, partly seated in grip 2, for example in the second enlargement 8b thereof, and a projection 34, protruding from the lever body 32, suitable for engaging the coupling portion 24 of the control lever 20.
  • the coupling lever 30 exhibits a hammer shape.
  • the coupling lever 30 is actuable by the user from outside the motor vehicle, preferably at the same time as the grasping of the grip, for switching from the disengaged configuration to the engaged configuration wherein it engages the control lever 20.
  • the handle group 1 comprises a safety lever 40, arranged inside grip 2 and accessible by the user through window 8d obtained in grip 2.
  • the safety lever 40 is operatively engageable with the coupling lever 30 so that moving the safety lever 40, the coupling lever 30 switches from the disengaged configuration to the engaged configuration with the control lever 20.
  • the safety lever 40 protrudes from window 8d of grip 2, to be pressed by the user's hand that grasps grip 2, at the same time as grasping grip 2.
  • the handle group comprises a multiplier device (not shown) arranged along the kinematic chain between the safety lever 40 and the coupling lever 30, suitable for multiplying the movement of the safety lever 40, that is, such as to match a slight movement of the safety lever with a movement of the coupling lever 30 sufficiently wide to engage the control lever 20.
  • a multiplier device (not shown) arranged along the kinematic chain between the safety lever 40 and the coupling lever 30, suitable for multiplying the movement of the safety lever 40, that is, such as to match a slight movement of the safety lever with a movement of the coupling lever 30 sufficiently wide to engage the control lever 20.
  • the grip is in the rest configuration, that is, is not pulled by the user
  • the safety lever 40 is not pressed by the user, widely protrudes from window 8d of grip 2 and does not influence the coupling lever 30 towards the engagement configuration thereof;
  • the coupling lever 30 is in the disengaged configuration, that is, it does not engage the control lever 20;
  • control lever 20 is in the rest position, that is, it does not influence the closing mechanism to open;
  • the closing mechanism is in the closed configuration, that is, it engages the vehicle frame, so as to prevent the door opening.
  • the grip is in the rest configuration, that is, is not pulled by the user
  • the safety lever 40 is pressed by the user and influences the coupling lever 30 towards the engagement configuration thereof with the control lever 20;
  • the coupling lever 30 is in the engaged configuration, that is, it engages the control lever 20;
  • control lever 20 is in the rest position, that is, it does not influence the closing mechanism to open;
  • the closing mechanism is in the closed configuration, that is, it engages the vehicle frame, so as to prevent the door opening.
  • the grip is in the pulled configuration, that is, is pulled by the user;
  • the safety lever 40 is pressed by the user and influences the coupling lever 30 towards the engagement configuration thereof with the control lever 20;
  • the coupling lever 30 is in the engaged configuration, that is, it engages the control lever 20;
  • control lever 20 is in the active position, that is, it influences the closing mechanism to open;
  • the closing mechanism is in the open configuration, that is, it does not engage the vehicle frame, so as to allow the door opening.
  • the closing mechanism disengages the vehicle frame and the door opening is allowed.
  • control lever is hinged to the support body so as to be turnable about the axis of rotation Z, that the axils of rotation lays on a horizontal plane and that the movement of the grip from the rest configuration to the pulled configuration takes place on a plane coplanar to said horizontal plane.
  • the handle group according to the present invention allows preventing undesired door opening subsequent to collisions, overcoming the disadvantages mentioned with reference to the prior art, since it does not exhibit inertial masses and is structurally simple in the construction and assembly thereof.
  • the handle group is convenient to use since the actuation of the safety lever occurs at the same time as the grip grasping.
  • the construction is optimised to reduce the user's effort required to actuate the safety lever and to release the closing mechanism.
