Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door-stop device for vehicles.
  • the document No. EP-A-525 268 describes a door-stop device for vehicles having the characteristics contained in the preamble of Claim 1.
  • This document describes a door-stop device comprising a tie-rod having an external surface provided with at least one retention seat and a supporting casing having a chamber and two facing through openings, through which the tie-rod extends.
  • Housed within the chamber of the supporting casing are two opposed retention bodies and elastic means that push the retention bodies elastically against the external surface of the tie-rod.
  • the supporting casing is formed by a base body having an opening for the insertion of the retention bodies and of the elastic means in said chamber and a lid fixed to the base body for closing said opening.
  • the base body and the lid are made of stamped metal plate.
  • the base body and the lid of the supporting casing made of plastic material rather than of stamped metal plate.
  • plastic material for the construction of the supporting body and of the lid renders the supporting casing less resistant and more subject to deformations during use. This problem is rendered more critical in that the base body must be provided with an opening of ample dimensions to enable insertion of the retention bodies and of the elastic means in the chamber formed within the base body.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved door-stop device that will overcome the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • a door-stop device having the characteristics forming the subject of Claim 1.
  • the number 10 designates a door-stop device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the door-stop device 10 comprises a tie-rod 12 provided, on its external surface, with at least one retention seat.
  • the external surface of the tie-rod 12 is provided with three retention seats 14a, 14b and 14c, corresponding to the positions of door completely open, and service opening (1 and 2).
  • the tie-rod 14 is preferably formed by a metal core 16, on which a coating 18 made of co-moulded plastic material is applied. The thickness of the coating 18 varies along the longitudinal axis of the tie-rod 12 to form the aforesaid retention seats 14a, 14b and 14c made up of areas with smaller thickness of the coating 18.
  • the tie-rod 12 has a rectangular shape in sections orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the tie-rod.
  • the tie-rod 12 could have a circular cross section, as described in the European patent application No. 07 425 355 , filed in the name of the present applicant.
  • the tie-rod 12 is provided, at a first end, with an arrest portion 20 and, at the opposite end, with an eyelet 22 for articulation to a flange 24, designed to be fixed to the upright of a vehicle (not illustrated).
  • the door-stop device 10 comprises a box-shaped casing 26, designed to be fixed to a door of a vehicle (not illustrated).
  • the casing 26 comprises a base body 28 and a lid 30, fixed to one another in the way that will be described in what follows. Both the base body 28 and the lid 30 are made of injection-moulded plastic material.
  • the base body 28 has a chamber 32 having a parallelepipedal shape with one open face and five closed faces.
  • the open face delimits an opening of rectangular shape 34.
  • the base body 28 comprises two larger side walls 36, two smaller side walls 38, and an end wall 40.
  • the base body 38 is moreover provided with a flange 42 that surrounds the opening 34 and that extends towards the outside with respect to the side walls 36 and 38.
  • the base body 28 is moreover provided with a ribbing 44, which surrounds the opening 34 and projects from a front wall 46.
  • the lid 30 has a plane front surface 48, which rests against the front surface 46 of the base body 28.
  • the lid 30 is provided with a groove 50 set in with respect to the front surface 48 and having a shape that is complementary with respect to the ribbing 44.
  • the lid 30 is applied to the base body 28 for closing the opening 34.
  • the ribbing 44 of the base body 28 engages with minimum play the groove 50 of the lid 30.
  • each retention element 52 Housed within the casing 26 are two opposed retention elements 52, which are pushed elastically and on opposite sides against the external surface of the tie-rod 12.
  • the retention elements 52 are associated to respective elastic elements 54, made up, for example, of helical springs or else inserts made of elastomeric material.
  • the retention elements 52 have plane side surfaces 56, which are guided by the internal surfaces of the larger side walls 36.
  • Each elastic element 54 is set between a respective retention element 56 and a respective smaller side wall 38.
  • the retention elements 52 and the elastic elements 54 are inserted in the chamber 32 through the opening 34.
  • the lid 30 is applied and fixed to the base body 38 after insertion of the retention elements 52 and the elastic elements 54 in the chamber 32.
  • the lid 30 and the flange 42 of the base body 28 are provided with respective mutually aligned holes 58, 60, designed to be engaged by rivets or screws (not illustrated) for fixing the lid 30 to the base body 28.
  • the lid 30 and the base body 28 are moreover provided with respective through openings 62, 64, through which the tie-rod 12 extends.
  • the opening 64 is formed on the end wall 40 of the base body 26 and faces the opening 62 of the lid 30.
  • the lid 30 is preferably provided with two threaded pins 66 that project from its front wall.
  • the threaded pins 66 have respective heads that are embedded and co-moulded in the body of the lid 30.
  • the distance between the axes of the threaded pins 66 can be varied during moulding of the lid 30 to adapt the device 10 to the requirements of the user.
  • the engagement between the ribbing 44 and the groove 50 bestows upon the casing 26 a greater stiffness and reduces the deformations due to the action of the springs 54. Since the casing 26 is entirely made of plastic material, it tends to have lower characteristics of stiffness with respect to those of casings of devices according to the known art made of metal. The higher stiffness of the casing 26 obtained thanks to the coupling between the ribbing 44 and the groove 50 is particularly advantageous in so far as it reduces the noise of the device 10.
  • FIGS 7-12 illustrate a second embodiment of a door-stop device according to the present invention.
  • the elements corresponding to the ones previously described are designated by the same reference numbers.
  • the lid 30 is fixed to the base body 28 by snap-action engagement means.
  • the base body 28 is provided with a plurality of elastic teeth 68 that project from the open edge of the base body 28.
  • the teeth 68 are substantially aligned to the ribbing 44, and the ribbing 44 is interrupted in a position corresponding to the teeth 68.
  • the elastic teeth 68 engage in the same groove 50 of the lid 30 in which the ribbing 44 of the base body 28 is engaged.
  • the lid 30 can be provided with transverse holes 70 or corresponding engagement slots that give out into the ribbing 50 in a position corresponding to the teeth 68, thus forming surfaces for engagement for the teeth 68.
  • the elastic teeth 68 are formed integrally on the open edge of the base body 28 and have engagement surfaces facing the outside in such a way that, following upon insertion of the teeth 68 and of the ribbing 44 in the groove 50 of the lid 30, the engagement surfaces of the teeth 68 snap into engagement with the edge formed by the intersection between the holes 70 or corresponding cavities and the groove 50.
  • the lid 30 is provided on its outer front surface with holes 72 that give out into in a position corresponding to the side holes 70, and a blocking element 74 is provided, applied on the front face of the lid 30.
  • the blocking element 74 is provided with a plurality of projections 76 that are inserted into the respective holes 72. Each projection 76 is inserted between the inner side of the respective tooth 68 and the internal edge of the groove 50, preventing disengagement of the teeth 68 from the respective seats.
  • the blocking element 74 is compressed axially between the front surface of the lid 30 and a wall (not illustrated) of the door, so that the projections 76 are forced between the teeth 68 and the internal edge of the groove 50.
  • the projections 76 of the blocking element 74 eliminate any play between the teeth 68 and the groove 50 and render the snap-engagement between the lid 30 and the base body 28 irreversible.
  • FIG. 13-17 illustrate a third embodiment of the device according to the present invention. Also in this case, the details corresponding to the ones previously described are designated by the same reference numbers.
  • the base body 28 is provided with a front wall 78 opposite and parallel to the end wall 40.
  • the front wall 78 and the end wall 40 are provided with openings 62, 64 for the passage of the tie-rod 12.
  • the threaded pins 66 are fixed by means of co-moulding in the front wall 78.
  • One of the side walls 36 of the base body 28 is replaced by an opening 34 that serves for insertion in the chamber 32 of the retention elements 52 and of the elastic elements 54.
  • the lid 30 is formed by a rectangular plate made of plastic material, the edges 44 of which engage like a drawer a guide groove 50 provided in the base body 28 in a position corresponding to the opening 34.
  • the edges 44 of the lid 30 couple with minimum play to the groove 50 of the base body 28 in a way similar to the coupling between the ribbing 44 and the groove 50 of the embodiments previously described.
  • the lid 30 is preferably provided with a tooth 80 that engages by snap-action a hole 82 formed on one of the smaller side walls 38 of the base body 28.
  • the lid 30 is preferably inserted in a through slit formed in one of the smaller side walls 38.
  • the internal surface of the lid 30 functions as guide for the retention elements 56 together with the internal surface of the larger side wall 36 opposite to the opening 34.
  • the base body 28 of the casing 26 is always provided with a single opening for insertion of the retention elements 52 and of the elastic elements 54.
  • the lid 30 When the lid 30 is applied for closing the opening 34, the base body 28 assumes the conformation of a closed prismatic box, with the lid 30 that functions as closing element and as stiffener of the open side of the base body 28.
  • the lid 30 contributes to increasing the flexural and torsional rigidity of the base body 28, which reduces the noise of the door-stop device.
