Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, the external opening controls of motor vehicle doors. More particularly, this invention relates to an external opening control of a motor vehicle side door, which may be either a front door or a rear door, which control is integrated and concealed in an amount, or close to an amount of the bodywork of the vehicle concerned, or in another part of this body, such as the rear quarter panel, adjacent to the door in question.
  • a motor vehicle side door which may be either a front door or a rear door, which control is integrated and concealed in an amount, or close to an amount of the bodywork of the vehicle concerned, or in another part of this body, such as the rear quarter panel, adjacent to the door in question.
  • Such handles generally form significant growths on the sides of the vehicle body or, even if they are more or less recessed in the door panel, they remain very apparent.
  • the outer opening control has, like the pallet, a rest position flush with the body, and this lifting button is mechanically linked to the pallet so that a manual depression of said button causes a start of pivoting of the pallet to from his rest position.
  • the outer opening control has at rest no protrusion and no interruption vis-à-vis the profile of the body, and a simple thumb pressure on the lift button causes a start of rotation of the pallet, which then allows the user to introduce his other fingers under the pallet to achieve its grip and continue the rotation of it.
  • the complete rotation of the pallet causes the actuation of the internal mechanism of the control, for example the actuation of a return lever which, itself, pulls on a cable for opening the lock of the door concerned.
  • the pallet is only related to the lifting button by a direct mutual support, and there is no way that would block the pallet in the closed position, as long as the lift button is not pressed. There is thus a risk of inadvertent opening of the pallet, and therefore of the vehicle door concerned, under the action of an external element such as the force of the wind or the contact with a tree branch, and especially in case of lateral impact, the latter factor being important in the context of the approval of a motor vehicle.
  • the present invention aims to further improve the external opening controls of the type in question, with pallet and lifting button, so as to provide a secure embodiment capable, in particular, of preventing the door from opening. in case of side impact.
  • the subject of the invention is an external opening control of a motor vehicle door, in particular of a motor vehicle side door, this control being of the type of those integrated and concealed close to a body post. of the vehicle concerned, or of another part of this body, such as the rear quarter panel, the control comprising a pallet-type maneuvering member pivoted about an axis of rotation between a rest position flush with the bodywork and a tilted position for manual gripping to open the door, the pallet being coupled to an internal mechanism of the control, and to the pallet being associated a lift button disposed adjacent to the pallet, the button also having a rest position flush with the body, and a mechanical connection being made between the lifting button and the pallet of such that the depression of the lifting button causes the pallet to start to pivot from its rest position, this external opening control being characterized by the fact that a locking lever subjected to the action of a return spring is pivotally mounted under the pallet, keeping it locked, while the lifting button has a boss which cooperates with the locking lever to actuate the latter and thus release
  • the pallet remains locked in the closed position, if the lifting button is not previously actuated, and only the depression of this button causes the unlocking of the pallet, allowing itself the opening of the door.
  • These provisions therefore offer complete safety, particularly avoiding inadvertent opening due to an external element such as the force of the wind, or the contact of a tree branch or a side impact.
  • the figure 1 represents a motor vehicle with four doors, with two front side doors 2 and two rear side doors 3. These side doors are all equipped with external opening controls according to the invention, namely an opening command 4 for each door before 2, and an opening command 5 for each rear door 3.
  • the opening control 4 of the front door 2 is located near the central upright 6 of the body, at the frame 7 of the window 8 of this door 2 (see also figure 2 ).
  • the opening control 5 of the rear door 3 is located near the rear pillar 9, at the frame of the window 10 of the door 3 (in the illustrated example where the vehicle still has a window of Custote 11 behind said door 3).
  • the opening command 5 of the rear door 3 may be located near this quarter panel.
  • the figure 2 shows, more particularly, the external opening control 4 associated with the front door 2, this control 4 having externally a pallet 12 and a lifting button 13 disposed adjacent to the pallet 12 on the frame 7 of the window 8.
  • the pallet 12 is on the side facing the window 8, while the lifting button 13 is at a distance from the window 8.
  • a latch 14 is incorporated in the outer opening control 4 of the front door 2, the latch 14 being located here in a lower corner of the pallet 12 while the lifting button 13 is placed along the upper half of the pallet 12. In the rest position, the pallet 12 and the lifting button 13 occupy a flush position relative to the vehicle body, here more particularly with respect to the outer trim 15 frame 7 of the glass 8.
  • the pallet 12 is pivotally mounted about a substantially vertical axis of rotation 16, close to the rear edge of this pallet 12.
  • the lifting button 13 is pivotally mounted about the same axis of rotation 16, located near the front edge of said knob 13 .
  • the pallet 12 has an inner boss 17 which cooperates with a return lever 18, rotatably mounted about a substantially horizontal pivot axis 19, the return lever 18 having an arm connected to one end of an actuating cable 20 remote to the lock (not shown) of the door 2 considered.
  • the lifting button 13 has internally, on the side of its axis of rotation 16, a first boss 21 provided to cooperate directly with the inner face of the pallet 12.
  • the outer opening control 4 comprises here a locking device of the pallet 12 consisting of a locking lever 22 pivotally mounted under the pallet 12 about a substantially vertical axis 23, a return spring 24 of this lever 22, and a second boss 25 of the lifting button 13, provided to cooperate with the locking lever 22 - see in particular the figure 6 .
  • the outer opening control 4 comprises an inner casing 26, which in particular receives and supports the latch 14 and which also supports the respective axes of rotation 19 and 23 of the return lever 18 and the locking lever 22.
  • the pallet 12 and the lifting button 13 are flush with the bodywork, more particularly the hubcap 15 of the frame 7 of the window 8, as also shown in FIG. figure 7 .
  • the pallet 12 remains blocked by the locking lever 22. This is the closed position of the door 2 considered.
  • the structure and operation of the outer opening control 5 of the rear door 3 are in accordance with the foregoing description.
  • the shapes and the style of the pallet 12 and the lifting button 13 of the external opening control 5 of the rear door 3 can be adapted, in particular according to the inclination or the curvature of the rear pillar 9 of the bodywork.
  • the hubcap 15 may be either snap-fastened to the inner casing 26 of the outer opening control 4 or 5, or mounted directly to the body panel.
