Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a release apparatus for vehicle doors.
  • Rear doors (and sometimes also side doors) usually arranged to close the loading compartment of trucks, vans, articulated trucks, heavy goods vehicles, trailers, and the like, are usually associated with particular apparatuses intended for their release. These apparatuses are indeed actuated when one wishes to gain access to the compartment.
  • engagement elements hooks, claws, etc.
  • the engagement elements engage respective retention elements, which are fixed to the frame of the vehicle (above and/or below the door).
  • Each release apparatus of the known type therefore comprises a handle, which is integral with the rod and is arranged substantially outside the door, so that it can be gripped and turned by a person wishing to access the compartment.
  • the movement of the handle in fact causes the integral rotation of the rod and the consequent disengagement of the engagement elements from the retention elements, thus allowing the door to rotate freely.
  • buttons that must be pressed by the user, simultaneously with the traction applied to the handle, and key-operated devices that can be deactivated exclusively by the owner of said key (and therefore also allow to discourage actions by ill-intentioned individuals in addition to contrasting accidental rotations).
  • the handle typically made of metal plate, has a flat laminar shape and is usually kept so as to face and lie proximate to the base of the apparatus (which in turn is anchored to the door).
  • the rigid coupling between the rod and the handle is provided at an end lip of the latter, which is bent and partially rolled up so as to form a sort of through duct, in which it is indeed possible to insert the rod, which is then anchored to said lip in various manners.
  • welds are also used in relation to other elements of known apparatuses, for example in order to compose the button, which usually has a bulkier central portion intended to be pressed directly by the user, and a respective supporting structure, which vice versa must be able to ensure coupling to other components of the release apparatus, usually in very confined spaces and therefore with the need to comply with rigid dimensional constraints.
  • the central portion and the supporting structure are indeed provided separately and then mutually welded.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems described above, by providing an apparatus that is capable of containing or eliminating the risk of deformations and unrolling of the lip of the handle without resorting to welds.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that has effective methods for anchoring the lip to the handle without resorting to welds.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus in which the lip is anchored to the handle rapidly, inexpensively, without requiring specific skills and without resorting to polluting materials.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus in which welds are used minimally or which lacks them completely.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that ensures high reliability in operation and allows practical methods for verification and inspection.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that adopts a technical and structural architecture that is alternative to those of apparatuses of the known type.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that has low costs and is safe in application.
  • a release apparatus for doors of vehicles which comprises a base, which can be anchored stably to the door, and a handle assembly, which has at least one main plate that is associated with means for fixing to a rod, which can be coupled rotatably to the door and supports at least one respective unit for anchoring to the frame of the vehicle, said handle assembly being able to rotate with respect to said base between at least one locking configuration, in which said at least one unit can engage even indirectly the frame of the vehicle, and at least one release configuration, in which said at least one unit is in any case disengaged from the frame of the vehicle, in order to allow the rotation of the door, said means comprising a lip that is adjacent and integral with said plate, said lip being partially rolled up onto itself so as to form a rod insertion seat, characterized in that said lip is further coupled to said plate by means of at least one permanent connection element, of the
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a release apparatus for doors of vehicles (typically but not exclusively for professional use).
  • These vehicles can be of the type of vans, heavy goods vehicles, trucks, articulated trucks, trailers, and like, and comprise therefore an internal compartment, which is closed by at least one door (usually arranged to the rear) and intended to accommodate and transport goods of various types.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a base 2, which can be anchored stably to the door: for example, the base 2 can be applied rigidly to the outer face of the door, or can be arranged and fixed in a recess that is provided for this purpose in the door proper (along its external face).
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a handle assembly 3, which has at least one main plate 4 (typically but not exclusively made of metal plate), which is associated with means for fixing to a rod A (shown only in Figure 1 for the sake of simplicity).
  • a handle assembly 3 which has at least one main plate 4 (typically but not exclusively made of metal plate), which is associated with means for fixing to a rod A (shown only in Figure 1 for the sake of simplicity).
  • the rod A can be coupled rotatably to the door (and typically kept in a vertical orientation).
  • the rod A supports at least one respective unit (a hook, a claw, etc.) for anchoring to the frame of the vehicle, substantially at one or both of its ends, which protrude from the space occupation of the door.
  • a respective unit a hook, a claw, etc.
  • the handle assembly 3 can rotate with respect to the base 2 (about the axis B along which the rod A is arranged) between at least one locking configuration (in which it is shown in the accompanying figures) and at least one release configuration (in practice, the handle assembly 3 can oscillate about these configurations).
  • this condition can be obtained, according to known methods, by arranging adequate retention elements on the frame of the vehicle, above and below the position assumed by the door, so as to be able to indeed affect the respective anchoring units and engage with them detachably.
  • the anchoring units are in any case disengaged from the frame of the vehicle, so as to allow the free rotation of the door and access to the internal compartment of the vehicle.
  • the handle assembly 3 also comprises a handgrip 5, which is anchored to the plate 4 on the opposite side with respect to the rod A.
  • a handgrip 5 might be provided with one or more degrees of freedom with respect to the plate 4, in the preferred solution the handle assembly 3 (the plate 4 and the handgrip 5) moves integrally when it is gripped by a user (indeed preferably at the handgrip 5) to be moved from the locking configuration to the release configuration.
  • the already introduced fixing means comprise a lip 6 which is adjacent to and integral with the plate 4; such lip 6 is partially rolled up so as to define a seat 7 (which is substantially tubular) for the insertion of the rod A, so as to indeed allow the coupling between the latter and the handle assembly 3.
  • the lip 6 is further coupled to the plate 4 by means of at least one permanent connection element 9, of the type of a rivet, a nail, and the like, and therefore without resorting to welds, thus achieving the intended aim.
  • the permanent connection element 9 is indeed a rivet.
  • the lip 6 has at least one lug 10, which extends from its end edge 6a, on the opposite side with respect to the plate 4.
  • the lug 10 and a lateral ridge 4a of the plate 4 are mutually fastened by the permanent connection element 9.
  • the lip 6 is provided with two lugs 10, which extend from the ends of the end edge 6a of such lip 6: each lug 10 and a respective ridge 4a are therefore mutually fastened by a corresponding permanent connection element 9.
  • the plate 4 has a substantially rectangular shape, and the ridges 4a protrude from the two sides that are perpendicular to the rod A.
  • the lip 6 in practice constitutes a sort of extension of such plate 4 and has, on the opposite side, the end edge 6a, at which (at its ends) the lugs 10 are defined.
  • the permanent connection element 9 is inserted in a hole, provided beforehand along each lug 10, and in an orifice, provided beforehand along each ridge 4a and aligned with the respective hole, in order to be able to obtain indeed subsequently the mutual fastening of the lug 10 and of the ridge 4a.
  • a first protruding portion 9a can form an abutment head, which has an enlarged transverse cross-section, on the opposite side with respect to the other protruding portion 9a, the one inserted in the holes and in the orifices, after such insertion is pressed against the corresponding external surface, for example by resorting to the action of a press, obtaining the desired fastening.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a locking button 11, which is coupled rotatably to the base 2, and can thus move reversibly between at least one first angular position (in which it is shown in the accompanying figures) and at least one second angular position.
  • the button 11 is arranged even indirectly so as interfere with the movement of the handle assembly 3.
  • the button 11 is in any case spaced from the handle assembly 3 and therefore allows the movement of the handle assembly 3 (and the opening of the door).
  • the button 11 (as can be deduced in particular from Figures 9 and 10 ) comprises a laminar main body 12, which has a central portion 13a that is substantially flat (and at the most is slightly curved at the sides), which is interposed between respective mutually opposite end flaps 13b, which are bent and articulated to the base 2 (in the manners that will be illustrated hereinafter in relation to a possible embodiment).
  • the body 12 (which constitutes the button 11 or at least its primary component) is obtained simply by bending starting from a single component, again without resorting to any welding step.
  • the useful function of prevention against accidental releases, offered by the button 11, is therefore also implemented without resorting to welded parts.
  • the body 12 can be constituted substantially by a metal plate, which is cold-deformed beforehand to provide indeed the bent flaps 13b (indeed without resorting to any welding step).
  • the desired interference with the rotation of the handle assembly 3 can be obtained for example (by way of a suitable arrangement) by keeping the body 12 in forced resting against a transverse band formed by the plate 4.
  • the flaps 13b are provided with respective mutually opposite openings 14 ( Figure 10 ), in which it is possible to insert a respective transverse pivot 15 ( Figure 9 ), which is coupled to the base 2, thus achieving the consequent articulation of the button 11 to said base 2.
  • the body 12 can be kept elastically in forced resting against the transverse band by at least one spring 16, which is indeed wound around the transverse pivot 15.
  • the laminar body 12 comprises an auxiliary platform 13c, which is extended in a substantially coplanar manner from the central portion 13a, on the opposite side with respect to the plate 4.
  • the user can press directly the platform 13c, instead of on the central portion 13a, thus utilizing a longer lever arm and thus obtaining a facilitated movement of the button 11.
  • the button 11 comprises usefully a reinforcement bracket 17, which is coupled rigidly to the main body 12, in order to increase the mechanical strength of the button 11.
  • the bracket 17 then has a crossmember 17a and a pair of mutually parallel arms 17b, which have a center distance that is substantially complementary (slightly smaller) than the center distance of the flaps 13b.
  • the arms 17b are thus inserted stably between the flaps 13b, with the crossmember 17a arranged on the opposite side with respect to the central portion 13a.
  • the arms 17b are provided with holes 18 which are aligned with the openings 14 in order to allow the insertion of the pivot 15 also in said holes for rotatable coupling to the base 2.
  • the arms 17b and the flaps 13b have respective slots 19 that are mutually aligned, so as to be able to insert therein corresponding mutual fixing elements 20, such as nails, rivets and the like (which are therefore similar to the permanent connection elements 9).
  • the anchoring units engage directly or indirectly the frame of said vehicle and prevent the opening of the door.
  • the user In order to be able to gain access to the compartment, the user must move the button 11 from the first angular position and at the same time move the handle assembly 3: the rotation of the latter in fact causes the rotation of the rod A and therefore the disengagement of the anchoring units (by applying a further traction to the handle assembly 3 it is thus possible to move the door).
  • the integral movement of the handle assembly 3 and of the rod A is achieved by way of the fixing means, and therefore of the partially rolled up lip 6, which defines the seat 7 in which such rod 6 is inserted and subsequently fixed.
  • the lip 6 is coupled to the plate 4, since it constitutes an extension thereof (or in any case is rendered integral with it); furthermore, at the ends of its end edge 6a, which is otherwise free, with the lugs 10 it is coupled further to the ridges 4a (or to another part of the plate 4).
  • the insertion and riveting of the connecting elements 9 occurs rapidly and simply and can thus be performed by any operator even without specific skills.
  • the coupling of the lip 6 to the ridges 4a does not require the management of chemical products for cleaning, as instead is necessary when welding steps are provided.
  • the button 11 (the laminar body 12) is provided in one piece (from metal plate), which is bent at the flaps 13b; after bending them, assembly with the base 2 is achieved in a simple manner by means of the pivot 15, which enters the openings 14.
  • bracket 17 in order to ensure greater structural strength, in any case also ensures simplicity and low cost of execution, since said bracket 17 can be fixed easily to the body 12 by means of rivets (or similar fixing elements 20) and therefore again without welds or similar labor-intensive processes.
  • the apparatus according to the invention achieves fully the intended aim, since the use of a permanent connection element, such as a rivet, a nail, and the like, for further coupling between the lip and the plate allows to provide an apparatus that is capable of containing or eliminating the risk of deformations and unrollings of such lip without resorting to welds.
  • a permanent connection element such as a rivet, a nail, and the like
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
