Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a door arrester for sliding doors being movable between a closed position and an open position and particularly to a door arrester for sliding doors of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the door arrester comprises a latching member which is mounted on a vehicle body and acts transversely to a direction of travel of the sliding door. Furthermore, a latching lever is rotatably connected to the sliding door and latches with the latching member in the open position of the sliding door. The rotational movement of the latching lever is limited by a limit stop.
  • a door stopper system should keep the sliding door in the open position with defined entry and withdrawal forces.
  • Such a system is able to prevent a potential passenger injury that may occur if the vehicle is standing in an unfavorable way, e. g. in an inclined way such as on a ramp and the like, due to the sliding door rolling back into the closed position and hitting the passenger.
  • the active door arresters include a release mechanism that is actuated from a door handle by the passenger.
  • passive door arresters are operated with the opening and closing forces being applied by the passenger on the door handle.
  • the door arrester 1 comprises a latching member 2 being resiliently mounted on a vehicle body (not shown) by means of a mounting bracket 3 and acting transversely to a direction of travel 4 of the sliding door (not shown). Furthermore, the door arrester 1 comprises a latching lever 5 being rotatably connected to the sliding door via a holding arm 6. The rotational movement of the latching lever 5 is limited by a limit stop 7. Moreover, the latching lever 5 is guided in a guide rail 8 to allow the movement of the sliding door in the direction of travel 4. Further, in the door arrester 1 depicted in FIGs.
  • the latching member 2 acts against the spring force of a first spring element 9 which is shown in the form of a leaf spring acting transversely to the direction of travel 4 of the sliding door. Additionally, the rotatable latching lever 5 acts against the spring force of a second spring element 10 which is shown in the form of a spiral spring.
  • the two different spring elements 9 and 10 are used to control the opening and closing forces of the sliding door separately as will be explained in further detail as follows.
  • the leaf spring 9 will be active, i. e. generate a spring force against the opening movement of the sliding door, whereas during the closing of the sliding door which corresponds to the direction of travel 4 towards the left hand side in FIGs. 1 to 4 the spiral spring 10 will be active and generate a spring force against the closing movement of the sliding door.
  • the spring force generated by the second spring element 10 is substantially higher than the spring force generated by the first spring element 9.
  • the force to be applied for closing the sliding door has to be substantially higher than the force to be applied for opening the sliding door.
  • FIG. 4 which is shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the latching lever 5 starts to rotate clockwise so that the spiral spring 10 stretches and generates a spring force against the opening movement of the sliding door. After passing the latching member 2 the latching lever 5 returns to its original position which is the position where the latching lever 5 abuts the limit stop 7.
  • the return movement of the spiral spring 10 occurs at a rather high velocity. which may cause an undesirable noise, deformation of the clashing parts and/or raise a durability issue of the spiral spring 10 or the parts linked to it.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an improved door arrester for sliding doors which avoids the aforementioned drawbacks. Furthermore, the door arrester shall be as compact as possible to be able to comply with tight packaging constraints.
  • a door arrester for sliding doors of motor vehicles wherein the sliding door is movable between a closed position and an open position, comprises a latching member which is resiliently mounted on a vehicle body and acts transversely to a direction of travel of the sliding door and a latching lever which is rotatably connected to the sliding door and latches with the latching member in the open position of the sliding door, wherein the rotational movement of the latching lever is limited by a limit stop through abutment therewith.
  • the door arrester according to the present invention further comprises a braking device which is configured to slow down the rotational movement of the latching lever in a predetermined angular range about the limit stop.
  • the braking device is able to slow down the velocity with which the latching lever clashes against the limit stop during the closing movement of the sliding door a noticeable noise can be prevented effectively. Furthermore, no deformations of the clashing parts of the door arrester according to the present invention are observed after many opening and closing operations of the sliding door, thus making the door arrester according to the present invention especially durable.
  • the braking device includes a rotationally fixed bushing rotatably supporting the latching lever thereon. Furthermore, the bushing has an outer sliding surface which frictionally interacts with an inner sliding surface of an opening of the latching lever.
  • the sliding surfaces are configured such that an effective friction force between the sliding surfaces is dependent on a relative angle between the bushing and the latching lever.
  • the outer sliding surface of the bushing is elliptically shaped or barrel-shaped having two opposing arcuate surface sections and two opposing straight surface sections being respectively connected to said arcuate surface sections.
  • the inner sliding surface of the opening of the latching lever is formed by at least two sliding tongues resiliently protruding radially inward at an acute angle from an inner periphery of the opening. Operatively, the sliding tongues rest against the outer sliding surface of the bushing.
  • an elastic member e. g. a rubber element, is inserted in the space between the inner periphery of the opening of the latching lever and a backside of the sliding tongue facing the inner periphery of the opening.
  • the elastic member biases the sliding tongue against the outer sliding surface of the bushing creating a stronger friction force between the sliding tongue and the outer sliding surface of the bushing.
  • the latching lever comprises a first part providing the sliding tongues in the opening and a second overmould part fitting the first part and providing the elastic member. Especially, this configuration allows a compact design of the door arrester.
  • the first part is made of a plastic material and the second part is made of a rubber material.
  • the latching member acts against the spring force of a first spring element such as a leaf spring or a spiral spring.
  • a first spring element such as a leaf spring or a spiral spring.
  • the rotatable latching lever acts against the spring force of a second spring element.
  • the maximum closing force that is to be applied to the latching lever to pass the latching member in the closing direction of the sliding door can be controlled advantageously by the second spring element.
  • the braking device should be configured such that it is not generating a braking force in the maximum rotational displacement of the latching lever.
  • the spring force of the second spring element is substantially greater than the spring force of the first spring element.
  • FIGs. 1 to 4 which show an embodiment of a door arrester according to the prior art in four different operating states have been described already in the preliminaries of this specification.
