Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for hinging and supporting a vehicle bonnet.
  • a bonnet On vehicles, particularly motor vehicles, the use of a bonnet is known, in particular an engine bonnet, which pivots in relation to the body of the vehicle about a horizontal hinge axis between an open position and a closed position.
  • a supporting device is provided to hold the bonnet in the open position.
  • the supporting device normally comprises a rod, which is pivotally connected at one end thereof to the body of the vehicle and is moved manually between a rest position, in which the rod is arranged in a substantially horizontal position and is releasably blocked by means of a snap mechanism on the body, and an operating position, in which the rod is arranged in a raised position and has an upper end that supports the bonnet in the open position.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for hinging and supporting a vehicle bonnet, which overcomes the drawbacks described above in a simple and cost-effective manner.
  • a device for hinging and supporting a vehicle bonnet comprising:
  • reference number 1 indicates a hinging and supporting device to couple a bonnet 2, in particular an engine bonnet (partially and schematically illustrated by means of the dashed line) to a body 3 of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle.
  • the device 1 comprises a bracket 4, which is fastened to the body 3, consists of a single piece, and comprises three walls 9,10,11 which are joined together.
  • the wall 9 defines a substantially horizontal base; the wall 10 is substantially vertical and is at the rear, i.e. it faces a passenger compartment of the vehicle; and the wall 11 is arranged laterally and is also substantially vertical.
  • the bracket 4 also comprises an appendix 12, extending in a cantilevered fashion from the upper end of the wall 10 in a position facing the wall 11; and a stop element 13 ( Figure 2 ), extending in a cantilevered fashion from an intermediate front portion 14 of the wall 11 in a position facing the walls 9 and 10.
  • the device 1 comprises a bracket 15, which comprises two end portions 16 and 17 arranged opposite one another and coupled to the bonnet 2 and, respectively, to the bracket 4.
  • the portion 16 is fastened directly to a lower surface of the bonnet 2, while the portion 17 is pivotally connected directly to an upper end 18 of the wall 11 to pivot about a horizontal axis 19, which is fixed in relation to the body 3, and thus make the bonnet 2 pivot between a closed lowered position and an open raised position.
  • the portion 17 is substantially rectilinear, it is joined to an intermediate portion 20 of the bracket 15 via a curved portion 21, and has a slit 22 ( Figure 3 ) that is engaged by the appendix 12 when the bonnet 2 is arranged in the closed lowered position.
  • the device 1 comprises a toggle lever system 23, which consists of an upper lever 24 and a lower lever 25 having respective plate shaped end portions 26 and 27 that are pivotally connected about an axis 29.
  • the axis 29 is parallel to the axis 19, and fixed in relation to each of the levers 24 and 25, and is able to move from and towards the axis 19 during the closing and, respectively, opening of the bonnet 2.
  • the lever 24 has an upper end 30 ( Figure 1 ), which is opposite the portion 26 and is pivotally connected directly to the portion 20 of the bracket 15 about an axis 31.
  • the axis 31 is parallel to the axes 19 and 29 and is fixed in relation to each of the levers 5 and 24.
  • the lever 25 has a lower end 33, which is opposite the portion 27 and is pivotally connected directly to a lower and front portion 34 of the wall 11 about an axis 35.
  • the axis 35 is also parallel to the axes 19 and 29 and fixed with respect to the lever 25 and the bracket 4.
  • the portions 26 and 30 of the lever 24 are staggered in relation to one another in a direction parallel to the axes 29 and 31 and are joined together by means of a transversal portion 36 which faces the bracket 15 in a direction at right angles to the axis 19. Therefore, the portions 26 and 27 and, thus, the hinge defined by the axis 29 are aligned vertically with the bracket 15.
  • the lever 24 also comprises a tab 37, which extends in a cantilevered fashion from the portion 26 in a position facing the bracket 15 and defines a grip portion for a user, to manually push the toggle lever mechanism 23 from a first operating position, corresponding to the open raised position of the bonnet 2, against the force exerted by a spring 38.
  • the spring 38 is of the coil type and the ends of said spring are hooked to the wall 10 of the bracket 4 and, respectively, to the portion 27 of the lever 25.
  • the toggle lever mechanism 23 In the first operating position, the toggle lever mechanism 23 is arranged in the end-of-travel position, resting against the stop element 13 in a direction substantially parallel to the force exerted by the spring 38. In this way, the toggle lever mechanism 23 supports the bonnet 2 in the open raised position.
  • an intermediate portion 39 of the lever 25 has a hollowed rear edge 40 that is engaged by the stop element 13.
  • the portion 36 is arranged in a position adjacent to the portion 21.
  • the toggle lever mechanism 23 When the bonnet 2 is arranged in the closed lowered position, the toggle lever mechanism 23 is arranged in a second operating position, in which the axis 29 is further away from the axis 19. During the movement between the two operating positions, the toggle lever mechanism 23 moves beyond a dead center position, in which the axes 29, 31 and 35 are aligned in relation to one another and, thus, the bonnet 2 is raised to the maximum height allowed by the toggle lever mechanism 23.
  • the tab 37 must be operated manually to move the toggle lever mechanism 23 away from the first operating position, by raising the bonnet 2 slightly with respect to the raised open position, and then to move beyond the dead center position. Once the dead center position has been passed, the bonnet 2 can simply be allowed to lower itself due to the effect of its weight in order to move the toggle lever mechanism 23 back to and hold it in the second operating position.
  • the appendix 12 engages the slit 22 in order to block the bracket 15 in case the hinge defined by the axis 19 should give way during a collision or accident.
  • the device 1 holds the bonnet 2 in the raised position in a simple manner, with a relatively small number of components and limited overall dimensions.
  • the device 1 has the function of making the bonnet 2 pivot by means of the hinge defined by the axis 19, and also the function of keeping the bonnet 2 blocked in the open raised position.
  • the device 1 holds the bonnet 2 open without obstructing the engine compartment laterally, thus making the engine compartment more accessible for servicing, in that the toggle lever mechanism 23 is connected directly to the brackets 4 and 15.
  • the operations to move the bonnet 2 to the open raised position are simple, in that the toggle lever mechanism 23 moves to its first operating position automatically, thanks to the spring 38.
  • the device 1 is also relatively cheap and relatively light.
  • the end-of-travel surface for the first operating position of the toggle lever mechanism 23 could be defined directly by a portion of the bracket 4, and/or could be provided by the bracket 15, and/or could support the lever 24 with or instead of the lever 25.
  • the axes 29, 31 and 35 while parallel to one another, need not be parallel to the axis 19 and/or may be defined by ball joints.
  • the spring 38 could be of a different type, for example it could be a torsion spring arranged about the axes 29, 31 or 35, or it could be arranged in a different position with respect to that described by way of example.
