Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for assembling an external handle on a door of a vehicle.
• An outer handle is adapted to control an opening member of a door lock, such as a bolt.
• a vehicle door usually has an outer panel on which a liner is attached.
• the handle When assembling the handle on the door, the handle is conventionally mounted on a stirrup, the stirrup being fixed on the inner face of the outer panel.
• Attaching the handle to the caliper requires the use of a fastener, such as an assembly screw. Placing the fastener on the caliper is a difficult operation because performed from the outside of the door liner.
• a handle mounted on the stirrup, designed to control an opening member of a lock of the door;
• said device being characterized in that the guide means are provided with extraction means for extracting the guide means, once the fastening element in position on the yoke.
• the device according to the invention by extracting the guide means once the fastening element in position on the caliper, allows to overcome the potential noise nuisance caused by the separation of the guide means of the stirrup.
• this device significantly reduces the costs associated with the manufacture of guiding means, by allowing their reuse for different vehicle doors after their extraction.
• the extraction means have:
• a sliding tube shaped to surround a portion of the rope, the tube being provided with locking means designed to block the tube around the portion of the rope.
• the cord can be easily attached to the guide means for example by a single node.
• the cord can be deformed by adapting to the geometry of the guide means.
• the tube blocked around the cord near the guide means, allows to extract the removable guide means without risk that they are damaged by striking the constituent elements of the door.
• the guide means are shaped to be fixed to the stirrup by snapping.
• the latching makes it possible to fix the guide means in a reversible manner, in order to make the latter removable.
• the guide means are shaped to receive an assembly screw, the screw being intended to form a fastening element of the handle on the caliper.
• the guiding means have a hollow truncated cone.
• the wide part of the truncated cone provides the guiding function of the fastening element of the handle on the caliper.
• the tube is provided with a gripping means.
• the gripping means contributes to facilitating the extraction of the guide means.
• the present invention also relates to a vehicle door having an outer panel and a liner fixed on the outer panel, said door being equipped with a device according to the invention so that the stirrup is fixed on the inner face of the outer panel and the guide means are arranged on the stirrup inside the lining.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the interior of a lining of a vehicle door equipped with a device according to the state of the art
• FIG. 2 is a perspective view of extraction means intended to equip a device according to the invention
• FIGS. 3 to 5 are perspective views of the inner face of a vehicle door equipped with a device according to the invention, during the extraction of the guide means.
• the device illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a bracket 1 fixedly mounted on an outer panel 20 of a door 2 of the vehicle.
• the outer panel 20 is not shown in Figure 1 but remains visible in Figures 3 to 5.
• a handle 3 designed to control an opening member of a door lock, is mounted on the stirrup 1.
• the lock of the door is not shown in Figure 1.
• the device comprises a truncated cone 4 snapped onto the stirrup 1.
• the truncated cone 4 forms a guide means designed to guide a screw assembly of the handle 3 on the stirrup 1.
• the screw assembly screw is not shown in Figure 1. This assembly screw cooperates with a screwdriver 5, the screwdriver 5 passing through the lining 21 of the door 2 so as to be located opposite the truncated cone 4 to be able to engage in it.
• Figure 2 is illustrated a tube 6 surrounding a portion of a cord 7.
• the tube 6 is shaped to slide along the cord 7.
• the tube 6 has a sleeve 60 forming a gripping means.
• the tube 6 is also provided with locking means designed to block the tube 6 around the part of the cord 7.
• the blocking means are not shown in FIG. 2.
• These locking means are mechanically controlled by a pallet 61, mounted on the sleeve 60.
• the truncated cone 4, mounted on the stirrup 1 has a connecting piece 40 extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to its enlarged base.
• the cord 7 is fixed to the connecting piece 40 via a knot 41.
• FIGS. 3 to 5 show a lining 21 of a door 2 inside which is provided a device according to the invention.
• the handle 2 located at the rear of the stirrup 1, is not visible in FIGS. 3 to 5.
• the truncated cone 4 this is visible only in FIG.
• the liner 21 has an opening 210 releasing access for the tube 6 and the cord 7 from the inner face of the liner 21.
• the tube 6 and the cord 7 open out of the opening 210 by presenting an initial position in which the tube 6 freely surrounds part of the cord 7.
• Device for assembling an external handle (3) on a door (2) of a vehicle comprising:
• stirrup (1) intended to be integral with the door
• a handle mounted on the stirrup, designed to control an opening member of a lock of the door;
• said device being characterized in that the guide means are provided with extraction means (6, 7) for extracting the guide means, once the fastening element in position on the yoke.
