Description

L'invention concerne une poignée basculante pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile à fixation par l'extérieur et un procédé de montage d'une telle poignée sur un ouvrant.The invention relates to a tilting handle for opening a motor vehicle to fixing from the outside and a method of mounting such a handle on an opening.

Une poignée d'ouvrant de véhicule permet à un utilisateur d'actionner une serrure pour pouvoir mouvoir l'ouvrant.A handle of a vehicle door allows a user to operate a lock to be able to move the opening.

A cet effet, la poignée comporte généralement un châssis qui est adapté pour être fixé sur l'ouvrant du côté interne de l'ouvrant, une structure interne qui actionne la serrure et une structure externe qui est manipulable par l'utilisateur.For this purpose, the handle generally comprises a frame which is adapted to be fixed on the opening of the inner side of the opening, an internal structure which actuates the lock and an external structure which is manipulable by the user.

La structure externe et la structure interne constituent un ensemble solidaire qui est monté articulé sur le châssis pour permettre l'actionnement de la serrure.The external structure and the internal structure constitute a unitary assembly that is hingedly mounted on the frame to allow actuation of the lock.

On distingue différents types de poignées qui permettent chacune l'ouverture d'un ouvrant de véhicule, parmi lesquels les poignées du type « frigo », les poignées à palette et les poignées basculantes notamment.There are different types of handles that each allow the opening of a vehicle door, among which the handles of the type "fridge", the pallet handles and tilting handles in particular.

Les poignées du type « frigo » comportent une structure externe qui forme une anse de préhension s'étendant longitudinalement et qui est montée pivotante à une extrémité autour d'un axe vertical, perpendiculaire à l'anse, entre une position de repos et une position d'ouverture de l'ouvrant.The handles of the "fridge" type comprise an external structure which forms a longitudinally extending gripping handle which is pivotally mounted at one end about a vertical axis, perpendicular to the handle, between a rest position and a position opening of the opening.

Les poignées dites à palette comportent une structure externe qui forme une palette s'étendant longitudinalement et qui est montée pivotante autour d'un axe longitudinal.The so-called paddle handles have an outer structure that forms a longitudinally extending pallet and is pivotally mounted about a longitudinal axis.

Enfin, les poignées basculantes, aussi appelées « swing handle » en anglais, sont une combinaison des deux types de poignées décrites ci-dessus.Finally, the swing handles, also called "swing handle" in English, are a combination of the two types of handles described above.

On entend par poignée basculante une poignée qui comporte une structure externe formant anse de préhension, la structure externe comportant un corps longitudinal équipé de deux attaches transversales qui sont fixées sur la structure interne, et un capot d'habillage qui est monté sur le corps.A tilting handle means a handle which comprises an external structure forming a handle, the external structure comprising a longitudinal body equipped with two transverse fasteners which are fixed on the internal structure, and a covering cap which is mounted on the body.

Aussi, la structure interne de la poignée basculante comporte un corps et deux bras transversaux qui sont adaptés pour s'étendre transversalement à travers l'ouvrant pour être fixés sur les attaches de la structure externe.Also, the internal structure of the tilting handle comprises a body and two transverse arms which are adapted to extend transversely through the opening to be fixed on the fasteners of the external structure.

La structure interne est montée pivotante sur le châssis autour d'un axe longitudinal de pivotement, entre une position de repos et une position d'ouverture de l'ouvrant.The internal structure is pivotally mounted on the frame about a longitudinal axis of pivoting, between a rest position and an opening position of the opening.

Généralement, l'axe de pivotement de la poignée basculante est horizontal en configuration normale d'utilisation sur un véhicule automobile. Une telle poignée est par exemple divulguée dans le document EP 3 002 397 A1 .Generally, the pivot axis of the tilting handle is horizontal in the normal configuration of use on a motor vehicle. Such a handle is for example disclosed in the document EP 3,002,397 A1 .

Un inconvénient de la poignée basculante est le nombre d'étapes nécessaires à son montage sur l'ouvrant du véhicule par l'assembleur.A disadvantage of the tilting handle is the number of steps necessary for its assembly on the opening of the vehicle by the assembler.

En effet, la poignée basculante peut être livrée au constructeur dans un état désassemblé ou dans un état assemblé.Indeed, the tilting handle can be delivered to the manufacturer in a disassembled state or in an assembled state.

Dans l'état désassemblé de la poignée, l'assembleur fixe la structure externe sur la structure interne, généralement au moyen de vis, puis l'assembleur monte le capot sur le corps de la structure externe, les vis n'étant pas accessibles lorsque le capot est monté sur le corps de la structure externe.In the disassembled state of the handle, the assembler fixes the external structure on the internal structure, generally by means of screws, then the assembler mounts the cover on the body of the external structure, the screws not being accessible when the hood is mounted on the body of the external structure.

Dans l'état assemblé de la poignée, le capot est déjà monté sur le corps de la structure externe. L'assembleur doit alors fixer la structure externe sur la structure interne par le côté intérieur de l'ouvrant pour pouvoir accéder aux vis.In the assembled state of the handle, the hood is already mounted on the body of the external structure. The assembler must then fix the external structure on the internal structure by the inner side of the opening to be able to access the screws.

Cette opération de fixation par l'intérieur est une opération chronophage qui n'est pas adaptée au montage de poignées en grande série.This fixing operation from the inside is a time-consuming operation that is not suitable for mounting handles in large series.

La présente invention vise notamment à proposer une poignée du type basculante qui limite le temps de montage sur l'ouvrant.The present invention aims in particular to provide a tilting handle type which limits the mounting time on the opening.

L'invention se rapporte pour ce faire à une poignée pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile, la poignée comportant :

  • un châssis qui est adapté pour être fixé sur l'ouvrant, d'un côté interne de l'ouvrant,
  • une structure interne qui comporte un corps et deux bras transversaux qui sont adaptés pour s'étendre transversalement à travers l'ouvrant, depuis le côté interne jusqu'à un côté externe de l'ouvrant, la structure interne étant montée pivotante sur le châssis autour d'un axe (B) longitudinal de pivotement, entre une position de repos et une position d'ouverture de l'ouvrant,
  • une structure externe qui comporte un corps longitudinal de préhension équipé de deux attaches transversales qui sont fixées sur la structure interne, et un capot d'habillage qui est monté sur le corps de la structure externe, caractérisée en ce que chaque bras de la structure interne forme un fourreau transversal délimitant une empreinte de blocage qui comprend une première face de blocage transversal et une seconde face d'appui perpendiculaire à la première face de blocage transversal, et en ce que chaque attache comporte une tête de fixation qui présente au moins une première portion de blocage délimitant au moins une troisième face de blocage transversal qui est adaptée pour coopérer avec la première face de blocage de l'empreinte associée pour s'opposer au retrait transversal de la tête de fixation, et une quatrième face d'appui adaptée pour coopérer avec la seconde face d'appui de l'empreinte associée, et en ce que la poignée comporte au moins deux éléments de serrage, chaque élément de serrage étant conçu pour plaquer la seconde face d'appui de la structure interne sur la quatrième face d'appui de la structure externe, chaque élément de serrage étant apte à être actionné depuis le côté externe de l'ouvrant.
The invention relates to this to a handle for opening a motor vehicle, the handle comprising:
  • a frame which is adapted to be fixed on the opening, on an inner side of the opening,
  • an internal structure that includes a body and two transverse arms that are adapted to extend transversely through the opening, from the inner side to an outer side of the opening, the inner structure being pivotally mounted on the frame around a pivoting longitudinal axis (B) between a rest position and an opening position of the opening leaf,
  • an external structure which comprises a longitudinal gripping body equipped with two transverse fasteners which are fixed on the internal structure, and a covering cap which is mounted on the body of the external structure, characterized in that each arm of the internal structure forms a transverse sheath delimiting a blocking footprint which comprises a first transverse locking face and a second bearing face perpendicular to the first transverse locking face, and in that each fastener comprises a fixing head which has at least a first locking portion delimiting at least a third face of transverse block which is adapted to cooperate with the first locking face of the associated footprint to oppose the transverse withdrawal of the fixing head, and a fourth bearing face adapted to cooperate with the second bearing face of the associated footprint, and in that the handle comprises at least two clamping elements, each clamping element being designed to press the second bearing surface of the internal structure onto the fourth bearing surface of the external structure, each element clamping being able to be actuated from the outer side of the opening.

La poignée selon l'invention permet à l'assembleur de fixer la structure externe sur la structure interne en emboîtant ces deux structures et en actionnant les éléments de serrage qui équipent la structure interne.The handle according to the invention allows the assembler to fix the external structure on the internal structure by fitting these two structures and by actuating the clamping elements that equip the internal structure.

L'assembleur n'a donc pas à prendre les éléments de serrage à la main et à les monter sur la structure interne avant des les actionner.The assembler therefore does not have to take the clamping elements by hand and mount them on the internal structure before actuating them.

Selon une autre caractéristique, chaque élément de serrage est une vis de serrage qui s'étend perpendiculairement audites faces d'appui et qui est équipée d'un corps qui est vissé dans le structure interne et d'une tête qui serre l'attache associée sur le bras associé, chaque bras de la structure interne délimitant un orifice d'accès à la tête de vis associée pour permettre le serrage de la vis depuis le côté externe de l'ouvrant.According to another characteristic, each clamping element is a clamping screw which extends perpendicularly to said bearing faces and which is equipped with a body which is screwed into the internal structure and a head which clamps the associated fastener. on the associated arm, each arm of the internal structure defining an access port to the associated screw head to allow the tightening of the screw from the outer side of the opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique, chaque tête de fixation des attaches présente une fente en forme de U qui est conçue pour enjamber le corps de la vis de serrage associée afin de permettre le montage des vis sur la structure interne avant le montage de la structure externe sur la structure interne.According to another characteristic, each attachment fastener head has a U-shaped slot which is designed to span the body of the associated clamping screw to allow the mounting of the screws on the internal structure before mounting the external structure on the internal structure.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la structure externe présente une conception symétrique suivant un plan de symétrie médian longitudinal, de sorte que chaque tête de fixation comporte une seconde portion de blocage qui est opposée symétriquement à ladite première portion de blocage.According to another characteristic, the external structure has a symmetrical design along a longitudinal median symmetry plane, so that each fixing head comprises a second locking portion which is symmetrically opposite to said first locking portion.

Cette caractéristique permet à la structure externe d'être polyvalente et adaptable aussi bien sur un ouvrant gauche que sur un ouvrant droit.This feature allows the external structure to be versatile and adaptable on both a left opening and a right opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique, chaque bras de la structure interne délimite une rampe de guidage qui est adaptée pour guider l'insertion transversale de l'attache associée vers l'empreinte de blocage associée.According to another characteristic, each arm of the internal structure delimits a guide ramp which is adapted to guide the transverse insertion of the associated fastener towards the associated locking footprint.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la poignée comporte au moins un élément de rappel élastique qui est adapté pour rappeler la structure interne vers sa position de repos.According to another characteristic, the handle comprises at least one elastic return element which is adapted to recall the internal structure to its rest position.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la poignée comporte une languette de retenue déformable élastiquement qui s'étend depuis le châssis, jusqu'à une extrémité libre formant crochet, et qui est conçue pour retenir provisoirement la structure interne dans sa position d'ouverture.According to another characteristic, the handle comprises an elastically deformable retaining tongue which extends from the frame to a free end forming a hook, and which is designed to temporarily retain the internal structure in its open position.

Cette caractéristique permet de livrer la poignée à l'assembleur dans une position dans laquelle les éléments de serrage sont directement accessibles et prêts à être actionnés sans avoir à manipuler la poignée pour entraîner en pivotement la structure interne.This feature allows the handle to be delivered to the assembler in a position in which the clamping elements are directly accessible and ready to be actuated without having to manipulate the handle to pivot the internal structure.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la poignée est du type basculante autour de l'axe longitudinal de pivotement qui est parallèle au corps longitudinal de préhension de la structure externe.According to another characteristic, the handle is of the swinging type about the longitudinal axis of pivoting which is parallel to the longitudinal gripping body of the external structure.

L'invention concerne également un ouvrant de véhicule automobile équipé d'une poignée selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes.The invention also relates to an opening of a motor vehicle equipped with a handle according to any one of the preceding claims.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage d'une poignée du type décrit ci-dessus, sur un ouvrant de véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte successivement au moins :

  • une étape de pré-assemblage de l'ensemble constitué par le châssis, la structure interne et chaque élément de serrage, étape qui consiste à monter la structure interne sur le châssis et à monter chaque élément de serrage sur la structure interne dans une position de livraison dans laquelle chaque élément de serrage autorise l'insertion de l'attache dans le bras associé, et
  • une étape de montage final qui consiste à monter ledit ensemble pré-assemblé précédemment au cours de l'étape de pré-assemblage sur l'ouvrant, à monter la structure externe sur ledit ensemble, et à verrouiller chaque attache de la structure externe sur le bras associé de la structure interne au moyen de l'élément de serrage associé.
The invention also relates to a method of mounting a handle of the type described above, on a vehicle door, characterized in that it comprises successively at least:
  • a step of pre-assembly of the assembly constituted by the frame, the internal structure and each clamping element, which step consists of mounting the internal structure on the frame and mounting each clamping element on the internal structure in a position of delivery in which each clamping member allows insertion of the clip into the associated arm, and
  • a final assembly step which consists in mounting said assembly pre-assembled previously during the pre-assembly step on the opening, in mounting the external structure on said assembly, and in locking each fastener of the external structure on the associated arm of the internal structure by means of the associated clamping element.

Dans la description et les revendications, on utilisera à titre non limitatif la terminologie longitudinal, vertical et transversal en référence au trièdre L, V, T indiqué aux figures, sans référence à la gravité terrestre.In the description and the claims, the longitudinal, vertical and transverse terminology will be used in a nonlimiting manner with reference to the trihedron L, V, T indicated in the figures, without reference to earth's gravity.

Sur l'ensemble de ces figures, des références identiques ou analogues représentent des organes ou ensembles d'organes identiques ou analogues.In all of these figures, identical or similar references represent identical or similar organs or sets of members.

On a représenté à la figure 1 une poignée 10 pour ouvrant 12 de véhicule automobile. Seule une portion d'un panneau d'habillage 14 de l'ouvrant 12 est représentée, l'ouvrant 12 étant une porte latérale gauche selon l'exemple décrit.We have shown figure 1 a handle 10 for opening 12 of a motor vehicle. Only a portion of a trim panel 14 of the opening 12 is shown, the opening 12 being a left side door according to the example described.

Le panneau 14 d'habillage de l'ouvrant 12 délimite un côté externe, correspondant à l'extérieur du véhicule, et un côté interne de l'ouvrant 12.The trim panel 14 of the opening 12 defines an outer side, corresponding to the outside of the vehicle, and an inner side of the opening 12.

En référence à la figure 4, la poignée 10 comporte un châssis 16 qui est fixé sur l'ouvrant 12, du côté interne de l'ouvrant, une structure interne 18 et une structure externe 20.With reference to the figure 4 , the handle 10 comprises a frame 16 which is fixed on the opening 12, on the inner side of the opening, an internal structure 18 and an external structure 20.

La structure interne 18 comporte un corps 22 qui est réalisé en deux parties. A titre non limitatif, le corps 22 peut être réalisé en une seule partie.The internal structure 18 comprises a body 22 which is made in two parts. Without limitation, the body 22 may be made in one part.

La structure interne 18 comporte également deux bras transversaux 24 qui s'étendent transversalement depuis le corps 22 associé à travers l'ouvrant 12, depuis le côté interne jusqu'au côté externe de l'ouvrant 12.The internal structure 18 also comprises two transverse arms 24 which extend transversely from the associated body 22 through the opening 12, from the inner side to the outer side of the opening 12.

A cet effet, le châssis 16 délimite deux orifices 26 de passage et le panneau 14 d'habillage délimite également deux lumières 28.For this purpose, the frame 16 delimits two through-holes 26 and the trim panel 14 also delimits two slots 28.

Chaque bras 24 de la structure interne 18 forme un fourreau transversal délimitant une empreinte 30 interne de blocage.Each arm 24 of the internal structure 18 forms a transverse sheath delimiting an internal blocking imprint 30.

Comme on peut le voir aux figures 6 et 9, chaque empreinte 30 de blocage comprend une première face de blocage 32 transversale et une seconde face d'appui 34 vertical.As can be seen at figures 6 and 9 each locking groove 30 comprises a first transverse locking face 32 and a second vertical bearing face 34.

La première face de blocage 32 forme une portion d'un cylindre qui s'étend autour d'un axe A vertical.The first locking face 32 forms a portion of a cylinder which extends around a vertical axis A.

Aussi, la seconde face d'appui 34 de chaque empreinte 30 forme un siège qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la première face de blocage 32, dans un plan transversal.Also, the second bearing surface 34 of each cavity 30 forms a seat that extends perpendicularly to the first locking face 32, in a transverse plane.

La structure interne 18 est montée pivotante sur le châssis 16 autour d'un axe longitudinal B de pivotement, entre une position de repos illustrée à la figure 1 et une position d'ouverture de l'ouvrant 12 illustrée aux figures 2 à 7.The internal structure 18 is pivotally mounted on the frame 16 about a longitudinal pivot axis B, between a rest position illustrated in FIG. figure 1 and an open position of the opening 12 shown in FIGS. Figures 2 to 7 .

Dans ce but, en référence aux figures 4 et 6, le châssis 16 forme deux étriers 36 qui portent chacun une tige 38 longitudinale qui matérialise chacune l'axe de pivotement B, le corps 22 de la structure interne 18 étant monté pivotant sur les deux tiges 38.For this purpose, with reference to figures 4 and 6 , the frame 16 forms two stirrups 36 which each carry a longitudinal rod 38 which each materializes the pivot axis B, the body 22 of the inner structure 18 being pivotally mounted on the two rods 38.

Aussi, chaque tige 38 est associée à un ressort 40 hélicoïdal qui rappelle élastiquement la structure interne 18 vers sa position de repos.Also, each rod 38 is associated with a helical spring 40 which resiliently recalls the internal structure 18 towards its rest position.

Selon un autre aspect, la structure externe 20 comporte un corps 42 longitudinal de préhension équipé de deux attaches 44 transversales et d'un capot 46 d'habillage qui est monté sur le corps 42 de la structure externe 20.In another aspect, the outer structure 20 comprises a longitudinal gripping body 42 equipped with two transverse fasteners 44 and a cover 46 which is mounted on the body 42 of the outer structure 20.

Le corps 42 et le capot 46 d'habillage de la structure externe 20 forme une anse de préhension qui permet à un utilisateur d'entraîner la structure interne 18 en pivotement pour actionner la serrure (non représentée) associée à la poignée 10.The body 42 and the covering cover 46 of the external structure 20 form a handle that allows a user to drive the internal structure 18 to pivot to actuate the lock (not shown) associated with the handle 10.

A cet effet, chaque attache 44 est fixée sur la structure interne 18 et est solidaire en mouvement de la structure interne 18.For this purpose, each fastener 44 is fixed on the internal structure 18 and is integral in motion with the internal structure 18.

On notera que la structure externe 20 présente une conception symétrique suivant un plan P de symétrie médian longitudinal illustré aux figures 6 et 9. Cette conception symétrique offre l'avantage de pouvoir utiliser la structure externe 20 de la poignée 10 selon l'invention aussi bien sur un ouvrant gauche que sur un ouvrant droit.It will be noted that the external structure 20 has a symmetrical design along a plane P of longitudinal median symmetry illustrated in FIGS. figures 6 and 9 . This symmetrical design has the advantage of being able to use the external structure 20 of the handle 10 according to the invention as well on a left opening as on a right opening.

Les deux attaches 44 étant similaires, seule une attache 44 appelée « l'attache 44 » par la suite sera décrite en détail dans la suite de la description.The two fasteners 44 being similar, only a fastener 44 called "the fastener 44" later will be described in detail in the following description.

Comme on peut le voir à la figure 9, l'attache 44 comporte une tête de fixation 48 qui présente au moins une première portion de blocage 50 délimitant au moins une troisième face de blocage 52 transversale qui est adaptée pour être en appui sur la première face de blocage 32 de l'empreinte 30 associée pour s'opposer au retrait transversal de la tête de fixation 48.As can be seen at figure 9 , the fastener 44 comprises a fixing head 48 which has at least a first locking portion 50 delimiting at least a third locking face 52 which is adapted to bear against the first locking face 32 of the imprint 30 associated to oppose the transverse withdrawal of the fastening head 48.

La troisième face de blocage 52 de la tête de fixation 48 présente une forme complémentaire à la forme de la première face de blocage 32 de l'empreinte associée, c'est-à-dire une forme d'une portion d'un cylindre qui s'étend autour de l'axe A vertical.The third locking face 52 of the fixing head 48 has a shape complementary to the shape of the first locking face 32 of the associated footprint, that is to say a shape of a portion of a cylinder which extends around the vertical axis A.

En complément, la tête de fixation 48 présente une quatrième face d'appui 54 qui est adaptée pour appuyer verticalement suivant l'axe A sur la seconde face d'appui 34 de l'empreinte 30 associée.In addition, the fixing head 48 has a fourth bearing face 54 which is adapted to support vertically along the axis A on the second bearing face 34 of the associated footprint 30.

La tête de fixation 48 est verrouillée sur l'empreinte 30 au moyen d'une vis 56 formant élément de serrage.The fixing head 48 is locked on the cavity 30 by means of a screw 56 forming a clamping element.

On notera que par symétrie suivant le plan P de symétrie, en référence aux figures 10 et 11, la tête de fixation 48 comporte une seconde portion de blocage 50' qui est opposée symétriquement à la première portion de blocage 50.It will be noted that by symmetry following the plane P of symmetry, with reference to the figures 10 and 11 the fixing head 48 has a second locking portion 50 'which is symmetrically opposed to the first locking portion 50.

Ainsi, la tête de fixation 48 présente une cinquième face de blocage 52' et une sixième face d'appui 54' qui permettent de monter la structure externe 20 sur un ouvrant gauche ou sur un ouvrant droit.Thus, the fastening head 48 has a fifth locking face 52 'and a sixth bearing face 54' which make it possible to mount the external structure 20 on a left leaf or on a right leaf.

La vis 56 de serrage s'étend perpendiculairement aux faces d'appui 34, 54, la vis comportant un corps 60 qui est vissé sur la structure interne 18 et une tête 58 qui serre l'attache 44 associée sur le bras 24 en plaquant la seconde face d'appui 34 sur la quatrième face d'appui 54.The clamping screw 56 extends perpendicularly to the bearing faces 34, 54, the screw comprising a body 60 which is screwed onto the internal structure 18 and a head 58 which clamps the associated fastener 44 on the arm 24 by clamping the second bearing face 34 on the fourth bearing face 54.

Comme on peut le voir aux figures 3 et 9, chaque bras 24 de la structure interne 18 délimite un orifice 62 qui permet l'accès à la tête 58 de la vis 56 associée lorsque la poignée 10 occupe sa position d'ouverture, de sorte que chaque vis 56 est apte à être serrée depuis le côté externe de l'ouvrant.As can be seen at figures 3 and 9 each arm 24 of the internal structure 18 defines an orifice 62 which allows access to the head 58 of the associated screw 56 when the handle 10 is in its open position, so that each screw 56 can be tightened from the outer side of the opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tête de fixation 48 de l'attache 44 présente une fente 64 en forme de U qui est conçue pour enjamber le corps 60 de la vis 56 de serrage associée. Cette caractéristique permet de limiter le temps de montage de la poignée 10, comme décrit par la suite.According to another characteristic of the invention, the fixing head 48 of the fastener 44 has a U-shaped slot 64 which is designed to span the body 60 of the associated clamping screw 56. This feature limits the mounting time of the handle 10, as described below.

De même, chaque bras 24 de la structure interne 18 délimite une rampe 66 de guidage qui est adaptée pour guider l'insertion de l'attache 44 associée vers l'empreinte 30 de blocage.Similarly, each arm 24 of the internal structure 18 defines a guide ramp 66 which is adapted to guide the insertion of the associated fastener 44 towards the blocking footprint 30.

Selon un autre aspect, la poignée 10 comporte une languette 68 de retenue déformable élastiquement, illustrée à la figure 12, qui est conçue pour retenir provisoirement la structure interne 18 dans sa position d'ouverture et de livraison en s'opposant à l'effort de rappel des ressorts 40.In another aspect, the handle 10 comprises an elastically deformable retaining tongue 68, illustrated in FIG. figure 12 , which is designed to temporarily retain the internal structure 18 in its open position and delivery by opposing the return force of the springs 40.

A cet effet, la languette 68 s'étend depuis le châssis 16 jusqu'à une extrémité libre formant un crochet 70 qui coopère avec un ergot 72 délimité par la structure interne 18.For this purpose, the tongue 68 extends from the frame 16 to a free end forming a hook 70 which cooperates with a lug 72 defined by the internal structure 18.

Pour libérer la structure interne 18, la structure interne 18 est pivotée au-delà de sa position d'ouverture de sorte que la languette 68 se déforme élastiquement pour passer d'une position initiale de retenue à une position finale de libération de la structure interne dans laquelle la languette est dégagée de l'ergot 72. Cette opération de libération de la structure interne 18 est réalisée une seule fois à la suite du montage de la poignée 10 sur l'ouvrant.To release the internal structure 18, the internal structure 18 is pivoted beyond its open position so that the tongue 68 elastically deforms from an initial retaining position to a final release position of the internal structure wherein the tongue is disengaged from the lug 72. This release operation of the internal structure 18 is performed only once following the mounting of the handle 10 on the opening.

Ainsi, la languette 68 permet à l'assembleur de visser les vis 56 sans avoir à maintenir la poignée 10 dans sa position d'ouverture.Thus, the tongue 68 allows the assembler to screw the screws 56 without having to hold the handle 10 in its open position.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage de la poignée 10 décrite ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a method of mounting the handle 10 described above.

Le procédé comporte successivement au moins une étape de pré-assemblage et une étape de montage final.The method comprises successively at least one pre-assembly step and a final assembly step.

L'étape de pré-assemblage consiste à monter la structure interne 18 sur le châssis 16 et à monter chaque vis 56 sur la structure interne 18 dans une position de livraison dans laquelle chaque vis 56 autorise l'insertion de l'attache 44 dans le bras 24 associé.The pre-assembly step consists of mounting the internal structure 18 on the frame 16 and mounting each screw 56 on the internal structure 18 in a delivery position in which each screw 56 allows the insertion of the fastener 44 in the associated arm 24.

Cette étape de pré-assemblage est par exemple réalisée par le fabriquant de la poignée 10, avant d'être livrée à l'assembleur.This pre-assembly step is for example performed by the manufacturer of the handle 10, before being delivered to the assembler.

A l'issue de l'étape de pré-assemblage, la poignée 10 occupe un état dans lequel la structure interne 18 est retenue dans sa position d'ouverture par la languette 68 prévue à cet effet, état dans lequel la poignée 10 est livrée à l'assembleur.At the end of the pre-assembly step, the handle 10 occupies a state in which the internal structure 18 is retained in its open position by the tongue 68 provided for this purpose, in which state the handle 10 is delivered to the assembler.

L'étape de montage final, qui est réalisée par l'assembleur, consiste à monter ledit ensemble pré-assemblé au cours de l'étape de pré-assemblage sur l'ouvrant 12 en fixant le châssis 16 de la poignée 10 sur l'ouvrant 12.The final assembly step, which is performed by the assembler, consists in mounting said assembly pre-assembled during the pre-assembly step on the opening 12 by fixing the frame 16 of the handle 10 on the opening 12.

De plus, l'étape de montage final consiste à monter la structure externe 20 sur la structure interne 18 et à verrouiller chaque attache 44 de la structure externe 20 sur le bras 24 associé de la structure interne 18 au moyen de la vis 56 associée.In addition, the final assembly step consists of mounting the outer structure 20 on the inner structure 18 and locking each fastener 44 of the outer structure 20 on the associated arm 24 of the inner structure 18 by means of the associated screw 56.

Avantageusement, le procédé selon l'invention permet à l'assembleur de monter la poignée 10 basculante sur l'ouvrant 12 en un minimum d'étape, en ayant ni à monter le capot 46 d'habillage sur la structure externe, ni à monter les vis 56 sur la structure externe 20.Advantageously, the method according to the invention allows the assembler to mount the tilting handle 10 on the opening 12 in a minimum of step, having neither to mount the covering cover 46 on the external structure, nor to mount the screws 56 on the external structure 20.

La présente description de l'invention est donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif.The present description of the invention is given by way of non-limiting example.

On comprendra que la poignée 10 peut s'étendre verticalement, et la structure interne 18 de la poignée peut pivoter autour d'un axe de pivotement vertical par exemple.It will be understood that the handle 10 can extend vertically, and the internal structure 18 of the handle can pivot about a vertical pivot axis for example.

De même, des inversions mécaniques simples sont couvertes par l'invention.Likewise, simple mechanical inversions are covered by the invention.
