Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for unlocking the door of vehicles, of the type of vans, trucks, lorries, semi-trailer trucks, trailers and the like.
  • the rear doors of vehicles such as vans, trucks, lorries, semi-trailer trucks, trailers and the like have an external handle which is accommodated in a recess, which is formed by a tub recessed in an opening, which in turn is provided along the outward-facing side of the door; such handle can be gripped by an operator to actuate the opening of the door, in order to access the inner compartment of the vehicle.
  • a vertical bar is mounted in a rotatable manner on the door and rigidly supports, with its upper and lower ends, pawls and/or hooks which are capable of being stably engaged, when the door is closed, in respective locators and retention means, which are secured to the frame of the vehicle, correspondingly above and below the door.
  • a button which is in a rotatable manner and elastically associated with the tub that accommodates the handle: a protruding lip of the button in fact rests on the terminal edge of a respective plate, formed by the handle, obstructing its rotation and thus the unlocking of the door.
  • EP 0 893 558 A2 discloses a lever retainer 1 for flat levers for doors of trucks, comprising a flat lever 2 and a frame 3.
  • the lever 2 has at one end a manual grip 2a and at the other end a tapered hook 7.
  • a transverse hole 8 for a pin 9 protruding slightly from the hole 8 In intemediate positions of the lever 2 there are provided a transverse hole 8 for a pin 9 protruding slightly from the hole 8, and an elongated slot 4 with a median bridge 5.
  • the frame 3 comprises a backplate 10 with two protruding wings 11a,11b that retain a transverse shaft 14 for engagement with the hook 7 of the lever 2, and a pair of spring-loaded L-shaped elements 20,21 with latch-like pawls 24,25 for releasably engaging the bridge 5 of the slot 4 of the lever.
  • EP 1 764 463 A2 discloses a handle device for opening and closing the door of the body of trucks, trailers and the like, which comprises a base, which is inserted in a respective seat provided in the door.
  • the base accommodates a grip bar which is articulated, at a first end, to at least one rod for actuating pawl means adapted to couple said door to the frame of the body and forms, at the second end, at least one substantially ergonomic grip wing for the operator.
  • the grip bar being able to turn manually between a closed angular position, in which it is accommodated within said base and in which said pawl means are coupled to the frame of the body, and an open angular position, in which said grip bar is substantially spaced from said base and said pawl means are uncoupled from the frame of the body, so as to allow the free opening of the door.
  • the handle device further comprises a button for manual safety locking and release of said grip bar.
  • the grip bar has a substantially laminar three-dimensional shape so as to form, at said first end, at least one substantially tubular portion for keying along said rod.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, by providing an assembly that is effectively capable of reducing the risk of accidental unlocking events.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an assembly that ensures high mechanical strength, even in the event of accidental and/or violent stresses.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an assembly that is capable of guarding against or reducing the danger of accidental unlocking, also in the event of attempts to break in and/or violent stresses owing to the impact of the load against the inward side of the door.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an unlocking assembly that is safe and ensures a high reliability of operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly that can be easily implemented using elements and materials that are readily available on the market.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly that is low-cost and safe in application.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates an assembly for unlocking the door of vehicles, of the type of vans, trucks, lorries, semi-trailer trucks, trailers and similar vehicles for professional use.
  • the assembly 1 comprises a base 2 that can be stably coupled to the door (which may be in a conventional manner) and a handle 3, which is U-shaped, so as to define two parallel arms 3a which are connected by an ergonomic cross-member 3b, which can be gripped by the user to rotate the handle 3 and cause the unlocking of the door, in accordance with the methods described in the following paragraphs.
  • the handle 3 is fixed (with its arms 3a, at the end opposite to the cross-member 3b) to at least one bar 4 (outside or inside the door), which in turn can be coupled in a rotatable manner to the door and rigidly supports (at its mutually opposite ends) respective means of anchoring (pawls, hooks, and the like) to the frame of the vehicle (for example, as is known, thanks to corresponding brackets, locators, etc., which protrude from the frame above and below the door).
  • respective means of anchoring pawls, hooks, and the like
  • the handle 3 can rotate at least from a blocked configuration (in which for the purposes of example it is shown in the accompanying Figures 1 and 2 ), in which it is substantially facing and proximate to the base 2 and the anchoring means can engage the frame of the vehicle, in order to ensure the stable closing of the door, to a released configuration, in which it is at least partially raised from the base 2 and the anchoring means can disengage the vehicle, in order to allow the free rotation and the opening of the door, and vice versa.
  • a blocked configuration in which for the purposes of example it is shown in the accompanying Figures 1 and 2
  • the anchoring means can engage the frame of the vehicle, in order to ensure the stable closing of the door
  • a released configuration in which it is at least partially raised from the base 2 and the anchoring means can disengage the vehicle, in order to allow the free rotation and the opening of the door, and vice versa.
  • the base 2 is coupled in a rotatable manner to a button 5, which is moveable at least between a first angular position (in which it is shown in Figure 5 , and also in Figure 7 ), in which it is elastically kept in interference with the rotation of the handle 3, and a second angular position, in which it is disengaged from the handle 3, in order to allow the rotation thereof.
  • a button 5 which is moveable at least between a first angular position (in which it is shown in Figure 5 , and also in Figure 7 ), in which it is elastically kept in interference with the rotation of the handle 3, and a second angular position, in which it is disengaged from the handle 3, in order to allow the rotation thereof.
  • the button 5 prevents (in accordance with the methods that will be described on the following pages) any accidental unlocking, owing to shocks and stresses against the base 2 or the handle 3, which could cause the latter to rotate and thus determine the disengagement of the bar 4 from the anchoring means.
  • the assembly 1 comprises a securing body 6, which is moveable at least between a first angular configuration, in which it is shown in the accompanying figures and in which, independently of the button 5, it is elastically kept in interference with the rotation of the handle 3, and a second angular configuration, in which it is disengaged from the handle 3.
  • the element 6 thus cooperates with the button 5 in order to prevent the rotation of the handle 3, thus providing greater effectiveness greater effectiveness (with respect to conventional unlocking devices) in reducing the risk of accidental unlocking to the assembly 1 according to the invention , thus already achieving the set aim.
  • the securing body 6 is a rocker arm which is actuated in rotation by the button 5 between the first angular configuration and the second angular configuration: the simple actuation of the button 5, by the user, can thus determine the simultaneous disengagement both of the button 5 and of the rocker arm from the handle 3, thus allowing the free movement thereof in order to open the door.
  • the rocker arm comprises a central block 7, which is articulated to the base 2 at a first pivot 8: a tooth 9 extends from the central block 7 and abuts against an elongated protrusion 10 of the button 5 (as can clearly be seen for example in the accompanying Figure 8 ).
  • the rocker arm comprises an extension 11, which extends from the central block 7, at the end opposite to the tooth 9, and which defines a shoulder 11a which is kept elastically in abutment, in the first angular configuration, against a first flank 12a of a transverse band 13 of the handle 3 (the band 13 comprised between the arms 3a), in order to obstruct the raising and free rotation of the latter.
  • the unlocking assembly 1 comprises at least one first spring 14 (chosen preferably, but not exclusively, to be of the torsion spring type), which is wound about the first pivot 8: the elastic reaction of the first spring 14 is capable of keeping the shoulder 11a in abutment against the first flank 12a of the transverse band 13, and thus ensures, by means of the rocker arm, interference with the rotation of the handle 3.
  • first spring 14 Chosen preferably, but not exclusively, to be of the torsion spring type
  • the assembly 1 comprises a pair of first springs 14, which are coaxially wound around the first pivot 8 and cooperate in order to keep the shoulder 11a in abutment against the first flank 12a of the transverse band 13.
  • the button 5 comprises a central body 15, which is articulated to the base 2 at a second pivot 16: a tab 17 extends from the central body 15, on the side opposite to the protrusion 10, and supports an abutment plate 18, in order to allow an easy manual actuation of the button 5 (by simply pressing the plate 18).
  • an edge 17a of the tab 17 is elastically kept resting on a respective second flank 12b (at the end opposite to the first flank 12a) of the transverse band 13, so as to in turn obstruct the raising, and the rotation, of the handle 3.
  • the pressure of the plate 18 imposes an oscillation of the button 5 about the second pivot 16, until it is brought to the second angular position, visible in Figure 6 , in which the tab 17 is spaced from the second flank 12b and thus the movement of the transverse band 13, and thus of the handle 3, is allowed.
  • the assembly 1 comprises two second springs 19, which are coaxially wound around the second pivot 16 in order to keep the button 5 in interference with the rotation of the handle 3.
  • the base 2 is a plate (or the like) which is applied externally to the door, and the handle 3, as as well as the bar 4 and the other components of the assembly 1 according to the invention, are arranged outside the door, and protrude from it.
  • the base 2 has four perimetric raised lips 2a, forming a sort of tub 20 (for example constituted by a conveniently folded steel plate), which can be arranged stably in an opening which is provided along the outer surface of the door and is such as to define a recess 21 for accommodating the handle 3, at least in the secured configuration.
  • a sort of tub 20 for example constituted by a conveniently folded steel plate
  • the unlocking assembly 1 in order to limit access to the compartment closed by the door to the driver/owner only or in any case to authorized persons, the unlocking assembly 1 according to the invention comprises a key-operated mechanism 22, which can move at least between a first angular arrangement, locking the movement of the handle 3, and a second angular arrangement, allowing the free movement of the handle 3.
  • the key-operated mechanism 22 comprises a substantially axially symmetric central unit, which can in a rotatable manner be inserted in a slot 23 provided in the transverse band 13: the central unit rotates about an axis which is substantially perpendicular to the base 2 and it is provided with a contoured slit 24 in which a key can be inserted which can be given to the driver of the vehicle or in any case to authorized persons.
  • a latch 25 thus extends from the central unit and is interposed, in the first angular arrangement, between the transverse band 13 and the protrusion 10 of the button 5 (as can be seen for example in Figure 4 ), in order to obstruct the rotation of the button 5 and of the handle 3; in the second angular arrangement (which is reachable via suitable rotation, for example through 90°, of the key inserted in the slit 24) the latch 25 is spaced (because it is in turn rotated by 90°) from the transverse band 13 and from the protrusion 10, in order to allow the free movement of the handle 3 and of the button 5.
  • the operation of the unlocking assembly according to the invention is as follows.
  • the anchoring means supported by the bar 4 can engage the frame of the vehicle, and can thus prevent the opening of the door.
  • the user In order to be able to access the compartment, the user first has to insert the key in the slit 24, in order to rotate, together with the key itself, the latch 25, thus disengaging it from the transverse band 13 and from the protrusion 10 of the button 5, thus enabling the movement of the handle 3.
  • the user can then exert a pressure on the plate 18 in order to cause the simultaneous oscillation of the button 5 and of the rocker arm, in order to disengage them from the transverse band 13, and thus grip the handle 3 (for example at the ergonomic cross-member 3b), in order to cause its rotation into the released configuration.
  • the simultaneous rotation is caused of the bar 4 (which is integral with the handle 3), in order to cause the anchoring means to disengage the frame, thus unlocking the door and enabling its opening.
  • both the securing body 6 (the rocker arm) and the button 5 are elastically kept (mutually independently, by way of separate respective springs 19 and 14) in interference with the rotation of the handle 3.
  • both the shoulder 11a of the extension 11 and the edge 17a of the tab 17 resist the rotation of the transverse band 13 (which is part of the handle 3) and thus they form respective restraints on the rotation.
  • the assembly 1 according to the invention is thus capable of ensuring high mechanical strength and of resisting loads and stresses, even if they are considerable, without requiring overdimensioning of portions of the handle 3, of the button 5 or of the element 6, while still guarding against (or in any case reducing) the risk that such loads and stresses can cause damage or the opening of the door by forcing the restraints provided.
  • the unlocking assembly according to the invention fully achieves the set aim, in that the adoption of a securing body, which is moveable at least between a first angular configuration, in which it is elastically kept in interference with the rotation of the handle, and a second angular configuration, in which it is disengaged, independently of a button, from the handle, which in turn is moveable at least between a first angular position, in which it is elastically kept in interference with the rotation of the handle, and a second angular position, in which it is disengaged from the handle, effectively makes it possible to reduce the risk of accidental unlocking.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
