Description

L'invention concerne un support de poignée, un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant telle une porte pour un véhicule automobile comprenant ce support de poignée et un procédé de montage de cet ensemble de poignée sur l'ouvrant.The invention relates to a handle support, an opening handle assembly such as a door for a motor vehicle comprising this handle support and a method of mounting this handle assembly on the opening.

Ce type de poignée de porte est relié à une base par une articulation à une première extrémité de la poignée et par un bras monté coulissant dans un logement de la base à une deuxième extrémité de la poignée.This type of door handle is connected to a base by a hinge at a first end of the handle and by an arm slidably mounted in a housing of the base at a second end of the handle.

La poignée est mobile en rotation par rapport à la base entre une position de repos dans laquelle elle est positionnée sensiblement parallèlement à la base, le bras étant inséré dans le logement, et une position d'ouverture de l'ouvrant dans laquelle elle est inclinée par rapport à la base, le bras étant partiellement en dehors du logement. Le bras comprend un crochet à l'une de ses extrémités.The handle is movable in rotation relative to the base between a rest position in which it is positioned substantially parallel to the base, the arm being inserted into the housing, and an opening position of the leaf in which it is inclined. relative to the base, the arm being partially outside the housing. The arm has a hook at one end.

L'ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant comprend un levier logé dans la base et qui est destiné à être relié à un mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte. Le levier est mobile en rotation et s'engage dans le crochet du bras de la poignée.The sash handle assembly includes a lever housed in the base which is intended to be connected to a door opening mechanism. The lever is movable in rotation and engages in the hook of the arm of the handle.

L'ouverture de la poignée entraine le coulissement du crochet du bras de la poignée et par conséquent la rotation du levier vers la porte, actionnant à son tour un mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte.Opening of the handle causes the hook of the handle arm to slide and therefore the lever to rotate towards the door, in turn actuating a door opening mechanism.

Bien que les véhicules automobiles soient équipés d'un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture centralisé, un dispositif de verrouillage (ou verrou) est fixé sur la porte pour pouvoir ouvrir la porte en cas de défaillance du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture centralisé ou en cas d'urgence.Although motor vehicles are equipped with a centralized opening and closing device, a locking device (or lock) is fixed on the door to be able to open the door in the event of failure of the centralized opening and closing device. or in case of emergency.

Certaines poignées comprennent un couvercle longitudinal fixé sur la poignée. Le verrou est positionné en dessous.Some handles include a longitudinal cover attached to the handle. The lock is positioned below.

De plus en plus de véhicules comprennent uniquement un dispositif de verrouillage sur la porte du conducteur. Le dispositif de verrouillage des portes passagers est remplacé par un verrou factice pour s'adapter à l'espace initialement prévu dans le panneau de porte et le support de poignée.More and more vehicles only include a locking device on the driver's door. The locking device of the passenger doors is replaced by a dummy lock to adapt to the space initially provided in the door panel and the handle support.

Ces verrous factices sont des pièces esthétiques qui doivent créer une continuité esthétique avec la poignée ; et fonctionnelle qui doivent maintenir le support sur le panneau de porte.These dummy locks are aesthetic pieces that must create aesthetic continuity with the handle; and functional which must maintain the support on the door panel.

Il y existe un besoin de fournir un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant comprenant un verrou factice avec un aspect esthétique conservé.There is a need to provide a sash handle assembly comprising a dummy latch with a retained aesthetic appearance.

Cependant, lors de l'assemblage de ce type de poignée sur la porte d'un véhicule, la poignée est d'abord montée sur l'ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant.However, when assembling this type of handle to a vehicle door, the handle is first mounted on the sash handle assembly.

Le verrou factice est ensuite monté sur l'ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant qui est fixé après sur la porte du véhicule.The dummy lock is then mounted on the sash handle assembly which is subsequently attached to the vehicle door.

Ce procédé ne permet pas d'insérer le verrou factice sur la porte après le montage de l'ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant sur la porte.This method does not allow the dummy lock to be inserted on the door after the sash handle assembly has been mounted on the door.

En effet, le couvercle longitudinal de la poignée est positionné en face de la zone d'insertion du verrou factice.Indeed, the longitudinal cover of the handle is positioned opposite the insertion zone of the dummy lock.

L'insertion du verrou n'est pas possible non plus même si la poignée reste dans une position ouverte.Insertion of the lock is also not possible even if the handle remains in an open position.

Par conséquent, le verrou factice doit être inséré obligatoirement après la poignée, ce qui est contraignant pour l'assemblage.Therefore, the dummy lock must be inserted after the handle, which is binding for the assembly.

Des solutions de l'art antérieur proposent un procédé de montage dans lequel la poignée est assemblée sur la base et maintenue dans une position de livraison, c'est-à-dire dans laquelle la poignée est dans une position d'ouverture intermédiaire entre la position de fermeture et la position d'ouverture, par un dispositif de maintien de la poignée.Solutions of the prior art provide a mounting method in which the handle is assembled on the base and held in a delivery position, that is to say in which the handle is in an open position intermediate between the closed position and open position, by a device for holding the handle.

Ceci permet de pouvoir monter l'ensemble de poignée sur la porte comprenant la poignée qui reste en position d'ouverture pour permettre l'insertion du verrou factice sous la poignée et sa fixation sur la base.This makes it possible to be able to mount the handle assembly on the door comprising the handle which remains in the open position to allow the insertion of the dummy lock under the handle and its fixing on the base.

Une solution connue prévoit une patte flexible sur le levier qui se déforme et s'engage dans la base pour maintenir le levier en position intermédiaire d'ouverture.A known solution provides for a flexible tab on the lever which deforms and engages in the base to keep the lever in the intermediate open position.

Un actionnement du levier entraine le déblocage de la patte flexible et le retour du levier en position normale d'utilisation.An actuation of the lever causes the release of the flexible tab and the return of the lever to the normal position of use.

Cependant, cette solution présente un problème de déformation permanente de la patte flexible si elle reste trop longtemps dans cette position de blocage lors de son stockage avant d'être assemblée.However, this solution presents a problem of permanent deformation of the flexible tab if it remains too long in this locking position during its storage before being assembled.

Le déblocage du levier peut être difficile voire impossible. Un support de poignée selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document US 2003/0038486 A1 . Ce document divulgue aussi les caractéristiques correspondantes du support utilisé dans le procédé selon la revendication 9.Unlocking the lever can be difficult or even impossible. A handle support according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document US 2003/0038486 A1 . This document also discloses the corresponding characteristics of the support used in the method according to claim 9.

When moving the handle in rotation from the intermediate angular position to the open position, the cavity slides along the inclined wedge allowing translation of the lever from the axial position offset from the sliding path Y to an axial position aligned with the sliding path Y.

L'invention fournit ainsi un support de poignée assemblé en position de livraison et un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant comprenant un tel support plus efficace, permettant un déblocage plus facile et plus sûre du levier après le montage de l'ensemble de poignée sur la porte.The invention thus provides a handle support assembled in the delivery position and a sash handle assembly comprising such a more efficient support, allowing easier and safer release of the lever after mounting the handle assembly on the handle. door.

L'invention vise également à fournir un procédé de montage de cet ensemble de poignée sur l'ouvrant optimisé et plus efficace durant lequel le blocage du levier en position intermédiaire ou de livraison est évité après le montage de l'ensemble de poignée sur la porte et lorsque le levier est actionné pour le débloquer.The invention also aims to provide a method of mounting this handle assembly on the optimized and more efficient opening during which the locking of the lever in the intermediate or delivery position is avoided after the assembly of the handle assembly on the door. and when the lever is operated to release it.

L'ensemble de poignée est donc plus facile à monter sur la porte.The handle assembly is therefore easier to mount on the door.

Il est ainsi possible d'insérer un verrou factice ou même un vrai verrou sur la porte après le montage du support de poignée sur la porte et du montage de la poignée sur le support de poignée pour former un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant complet et présentant un aspect esthétique conservé par rapport à un ensemble de poignée comprenant un vrai verrou.It is thus possible to insert a dummy lock or even a real lock on the door after mounting the handle holder on the door and mounting the handle on the handle holder to form a complete sash handle assembly and having an aesthetic appearance preserved compared to a handle assembly comprising a real lock.

Le support de poignée est stocké et livré à un assembleur dans cette position de livraison, simplifiant le processus de montage.The handle holder is stored and delivered to an assembler in this delivery position, simplifying the assembly process.

Cet ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant permet aussi d'utiliser un levier mobile autour d'un axe de rotation horizontal.This sash handle assembly also allows the use of a lever movable around a horizontal axis of rotation.

Cette solution réduit également le nombre de composants constituant l'ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant par rapport à l'art antérieur utilisant un support additionnel. Le poids final est donc réduit.This solution also reduces the number of components constituting the sash handle assembly compared to the prior art using an additional support. The final weight is therefore reduced.

La figure 1 illustre un support de poignée 1 destiné à être relié à une poignée 4 pour former un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant 3 destiné à être monté sur un ouvrant 2 telle une porte d'un véhicule automobile, selon un premier mode de réalisation.The figure 1 illustrates a handle support 1 intended to be connected to a handle 4 to form an opening handle assembly 3 intended to be mounted on an opening 2 such as a door of a motor vehicle, according to a first embodiment.

Le support de poignée 1 comprend une base 5 s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale X.The handle support 1 comprises a base 5 extending in a longitudinal direction X.

Le support de poignée 1 comprend également un levier 6 monté mobile en rotation sur la base 5 autour d'un axe de rotation X entre une position de fermeture et une position d'ouverture lorsque la poignée 4 est actionnée, déverouillant un mécanisme d'ouverture de l'ouvrant 2 pour l'ouvrir (non représenté).The handle support 1 also comprises a lever 6 mounted movably in rotation on the base 5 about an axis of rotation X between a closed position and an open position when the handle 4 is actuated, unlocking an opening mechanism of the leaf 2 to open it (not shown).

Le levier 6 comprend un premier bras 9 destiné à être connecté à un bras 10 de la poignée 4 et à coulisser à l'intérieur d'un logement 11 de la base 5 suivant un chemin de coulissement Y.The lever 6 comprises a first arm 9 intended to be connected to an arm 10 of the handle 4 and to slide inside a housing 11 of the base 5 along a sliding path Y.

Le support de poignée 1 comprend un ressort de rappel 7 (fig. 2) excercant une force de rappel sur le levier 6 pour le ramener vers une position de fermeture.The handle support 1 includes a return spring 7 ( fig. 2 ) exerting a return force on the lever 6 to bring it back to a closed position.

Dans cet exemple, le levier 6 est traversé par un arbre de rotation 8 s'étendant suivant l'axe de rotation X, comme représenté sur la figure 4.In this example, the lever 6 is crossed by a rotation shaft 8 extending along the axis of rotation X, as shown in FIG. figure 4 .

Le levier 6 comprend une partie tubulaire 32 s'étendant suivant l'axe de rotation X depuis une surface interne 33 du levier 6.The lever 6 comprises a tubular part 32 extending along the axis of rotation X from an internal surface 33 of the lever 6.

Le ressort de rappel 7 est enroulé autour de la partie tubulaire 32.The return spring 7 is wound around the tubular part 32.

L'arbre de rotation 8 est logé dans une cavité tubulaire 59 de la partie tubulaire 32 et traverse le centre de la partie tubulaire 32.The rotation shaft 8 is housed in a tubular cavity 59 of the tubular part 32 and passes through the center of the tubular part 32.

Une première extrémité 34 de l'arbre de rotation 8 est logée dans un premier palier 35 prévu sur la base 5. Une deuxième extrémité 36 opposée de l'arbre de rotation 8 est logée dans un deuxième palier 38 prévu sur la base 5, comme illustré sur la figure 5.A first end 34 of the rotation shaft 8 is housed in a first bearing 35 provided on the base 5. An opposite second end 36 of the rotation shaft 8 is housed in a second bearing 38 provided on the base 5, as illustrated on the figure 5 .

L'arbre de rotation 8 est maintenu immobile en translation suivant l'axe de rotation X par les paliers 35, 38.The rotation shaft 8 is kept motionless in translation along the axis of rotation X by the bearings 35, 38.

Le levier 6 est mobile en translation suivant la direction de l'axe de rotation X par rapport à l'arbre de rotation 8 entre une position axiale d'utilisation dans laquelle le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est positionné dans le logement 11 de la base 5 (ou aligné avec le chemin de coulissement Y) et une position axiale décalée dans laquelle le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est décalé par rapport au logement 11 (ou décalé par rapport au chemin de coulissement Y).The lever 6 is movable in translation in the direction of the axis of rotation X relative to the rotation shaft 8 between an axial position of use in which the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is positioned in the housing 11 of the base 5 (or aligned with the sliding path Y) and an offset axial position in which the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is offset with respect to the housing 11 (or offset with respect to the sliding path Y).

Le levier 6 comprend un deuxième bras 39 opposé au premier bras 9 par rapport à l'axe de rotation X.The lever 6 comprises a second arm 39 opposite to the first arm 9 with respect to the axis of rotation X.

Ce deuxième bras 39 comprend un logement 40 à son extrémité destiné à recevoir un ballour 41. Ce deuxième bras est optionel, tout comme le logement 40 et le ballour 41.This second arm 39 comprises a housing 40 at its end intended to receive a ballour 41. This second arm is optional, just like the housing 40 and the ballour 41.

Pour le transport et le stockage, c'est-à-dire avant le montage du support de poignée 1 sur un ouvrant 2 de véhicule, le levier 6 est monté sur la base 5 et positionné en position de livraison ou dite « position angulaire intermédiaire ».For transport and storage, that is to say before mounting the handle support 1 on a vehicle opening 2, the lever 6 is mounted on the base 5 and positioned in the delivery position or called "intermediate angular position. ".

En position normale d'utilisation du levier 6 et donc de la poignée 4 entre la position de fermeture et la position d'ouverture, le premier bras 9 du levier 6 coulisse dans le logement 11 de la base 5 suivant le chemin de coulissement Y.In the normal position of use of the lever 6 and therefore of the handle 4 between the closed position and the open position, the first arm 9 of the lever 6 slides in the housing 11 of the base 5 along the sliding path Y.

En position de fermeture de la porte ou de repos, le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est dans sa position la plus éloignée de la base 5.In the closed position of the door or in rest, the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is in its position furthest from the base 5.

En position d'ouverture de la porte lorsque la poignée 4 est tirée par un utilisateur, le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est dans sa position la plus proche de la base 5.In the door open position when the handle 4 is pulled by a user, the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is in its position closest to the base 5.

Aussi, en position normale d'utilisation du levier 6, ce dernier est positionné sur l'axe de rotation X de façon à ce que le premier bras 9 du levier 6 soit dans ou en regard du logement 11 de la base 5. Plus précisémment, le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est aligné avec le chemin de coulissement Y.Also, in the normal position of use of the lever 6, the latter is positioned on the axis of rotation X so that the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is in or opposite the housing 11 of the base 5. More precisely , the first arm 9 of the lever 6 is aligned with the sliding path Y.

Pour atteindre la position de livraison, le levier 6 est d'une part pivoté autour de l'axe de rotation X de façon à atteindre une position angulaire intermédiaire entre la position de fermeture et la position d'ouverture. Le premier bras 9 du levier 6 est alors rapproché de la base 5, sans être dans sa position la plus proche de la base 5 qui correspond à la position d'ouverture maximale.To reach the delivery position, the lever 6 is on the one hand pivoted about the axis of rotation X so as to reach an angular position intermediate between the closed position and the open position. The first arm 9 of the lever 6 is then brought closer to the base 5, without being in its position closest to the base 5 which corresponds to the maximum open position.

Par exemple, la position de livraison peut correspondre à un pivotement du levier 6 d'un angle de 50° par rapport à sa position de fermeture.For example, the delivery position may correspond to a pivoting of the lever 6 by an angle of 50 ° with respect to its closed position.

En position de livraison, le levier 6 est d'autre part translaté suivant la direction de l'axe de rotation X de la position axiale d'utilisation à une position axiale décalée par rapport au logement 11 de la base 5, c'est-à-dire par rapport au chemin de coulissement Y.In the delivery position, the lever 6 is on the other hand translated in the direction of the axis of rotation X from the axial position of use to an axial position offset with respect to the housing 11 of the base 5, ie. that is to say with respect to the sliding path Y.

Par rapport au plan de la figure 1, le levier 6 est translaté vers la droite.Compared to the plane of the figure 1 , the lever 6 is moved to the right.

Le support de poignée 1 comprend un moyen de transformation 14 d'un mouvement de rotation du levier 6 en un mouvement de translation du levier 6 lorsque le levier 6 est pivoté de sa position angulaire intermédiaire (fig. 1) vers la position d'ouverture (fig. 5), pour libérer le levier 6 des premier et deuxième moyens de blocage 12, 13.The handle support 1 comprises means 14 for transforming a rotational movement of the lever 6 into a translational movement of the lever 6 when the lever 6 is pivoted from its intermediate angular position ( fig. 1 ) to the open position ( fig. 5 ), to release the lever 6 from the first and second locking means 12, 13.

Ce mouvement est décrit en détail plus loin.This movement is described in detail below.

Le moyen de transformation 14 comprend une cavité 25 formée dans le levier 6 destinée à coulisser le long d'une cale inclinée 24 positionnée sur la surface interne 21 de la base 5 lorsque le levier 6 est actionnée vers la position d'ouverture.The transformation means 14 comprises a cavity 25 formed in the lever 6 intended to slide along an inclined wedge 24 positioned on the internal surface 21 of the base 5 when the lever 6 is actuated towards the open position.

De préférence, la cavité 25 présente une surface convexe 26, comme représentée sur la figure 4.Preferably, the cavity 25 has a convex surface 26, as shown in figure 4 .

La cavité 25 est positionnée sur le premier bras 9 du levier 6, à proximité de l'élément annulaire 19.The cavity 25 is positioned on the first arm 9 of the lever 6, near the annular element 19.

Le premier bras 9 du levier 6 comprend un moyen d'engagement 53 à son extrémité 54 s'engageant dans le crochet 51. Le moyen d'engagement 53 est de préférence un ergot 53.The first arm 9 of the lever 6 comprises an engagement means 53 at its end 54 engaging in the hook 51. The engagement means 53 is preferably a lug 53.

Comme dit précédemment, le levier 6 est monté mobile en rotation autour de l'axe de rotation X dans le logement 11 de la base 5 entre une position de fermeture lorsque la poignée 4 est en position de repos (non tirée) et une position d'ouverture lorsque la poignée 4 est tirée.As said previously, the lever 6 is mounted so as to be able to rotate around the axis of rotation X in the housing 11 of the base 5 between a closed position when the handle 4 is in the rest position (not pulled out) and a position of opening when the handle 4 is pulled.

L'actionnement de la poignée 4 entraine le coulissement du crochet 51 du bras 10 de la poignée 4 suivant un chemin de coulissement Y et par conséquent la rotation du premier bras 9 du levier 6.The actuation of the handle 4 causes the sliding of the hook 51 of the arm 10 of the handle 4 along a sliding path Y and consequently the rotation of the first arm 9 of the lever 6.

Ceci entraine l'actionnemment du mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte 2 pour ouvrir la porte 2.This causes the actuation of the opening mechanism of the door 2 to open the door 2.

Le chemin de coulissement Y correspond au chemin suivi par le bras 10 de la poignée 4.The sliding path Y corresponds to the path followed by the arm 10 of the handle 4.

La porte 2 comprend un élément de verrou 55 positionné sous la poignée 4.The door 2 comprises a latch element 55 positioned under the handle 4.

L'élément de verrou 55 peut être un verrou factice 55 fixé sur la base 5 ou un vrai verrou (non représenté) fixé sur la porte 2.The latch element 55 may be a dummy latch 55 attached to base 5 or a real latch (not shown) attached to door 2.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage d'un ensemble de poignée d'ouvrant 3 sur un ouvrant 2 d'un véhicule automobile comportant un support de poignée 1 tel que décrit précédemment.The invention also relates to a method for mounting an opening handle assembly 3 on an opening 2 of a motor vehicle comprising a handle support 1 as described above.

Selon l'invention, le procédé comprend une étape de positionnement de la base 5 du support de poignée 1 sur une face intérieure de l'ouvrant 2, comme représenté sur la figure 10.According to the invention, the method comprises a step of positioning the base 5 of the handle support 1 on an inner face of the opening 2, as shown in FIG. figure 10 .

Le levier 6 est placé dans une position de livraison correspondant à une position angulaire intermédiaire entre la position de fermeture et la position d'ouverture, comme expliqué précédemment et illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, par exemple.The lever 6 is placed in a delivery position corresponding to an angular position intermediate between the closed position and the open position, as explained above and illustrated in the figures. figures 1 to 3 , for example.

Cette position correspond à une rotation du levier 6 d'environ 50° par rapport à sa position de fermeture, par exemple.This position corresponds to a rotation of the lever 6 of approximately 50 ° with respect to its closed position, for example.

Le levier 6 a aussi été translaté axialement selon la direction de l'axe de rotation X jusqu'à ce que les pattes flexibles 15 du premier moyen de blocage 12 formées sur la base 5, s'engagent dans les gorges 18 prévues sur l'élément cylindrique 19 du levier 6.The lever 6 has also been moved axially in the direction of the axis of rotation X until the flexible tabs 15 of the first locking means 12 formed on the base 5 engage in the grooves 18 provided on the cylindrical element 19 of lever 6.

Le levier 6 est alors bloqué en translation dans une position axiale décalée par le premier moyen de blocage 12 et bloqué en rotation par le deuxième moyen de blocage 13.The lever 6 is then blocked in translation in an axial position offset by the first blocking means 12 and blocked in rotation by the second blocking means 13.

En effet, le ressort de rappel 7 excerce toujours une force de rappel sur le levier 6 pour le ramener vers la position de fermeture.Indeed, the return spring 7 always exerts a return force on the lever 6 to bring it back to the closed position.

Le procédé comprend ensuite une étape de positionnement de la poignée 4 sur le support de poignée 1, comme illustré sur la figure 11.The method then comprises a step of positioning the handle 4 on the handle support 1, as illustrated in FIG. figure 11 .

La poignée 4 est d'abord fixée à la base 5 par une articulation à une première extrémité 27 de la poignée 4 et puis par un bras 10 monté coulissant dans un logement 11 de la base 5 à une deuxième extrémité 28 de la poignée 4.The handle 4 is first fixed to the base 5 by an articulation at a first end 27 of the handle 4 and then by an arm 10 slidably mounted in a housing 11 of the base 5 at a second end 28 of the handle 4.

Le bras 10 comprend un crochet 51 à l'une de ses extrémités 52 qui est engagé dans un ergot 53 du premier bras 9 du levier 6, comme illustré sur la figure 12.The arm 10 comprises a hook 51 at one of its ends 52 which is engaged in a lug 53 of the first arm 9 of the lever 6, as illustrated in FIG. figure 12 .

La poignée 4 est ainsi positionnée dans la même position que le levier 6, c'est-à-dire en position de livraison, comme illustrée sur les figures 11, 13 et 14.The handle 4 is thus positioned in the same position as the lever 6, that is to say in the delivery position, as illustrated in the figures. figures 11 , 13 and 14 .

La direction longitudinale A' de la poignée 4 est alors inclinée par rapport à la direction longitudinale A de la porte 2, d'un angle d'environ 5,65°, par exemple.The longitudinal direction A 'of the handle 4 is then inclined relative to the longitudinal direction A of the door 2, by an angle of approximately 5.65 °, for example.

Le procédé comprend ensuite une étape de positionnement d'un élément de verrou 55 (verrou factice 55 par exemple) dans la base 5, le levier 6 étant dans sa position angulaire intermédiaire, comme illustré sur la figure 13.The method then comprises a step of positioning a latch element 55 (dummy latch 55 for example) in the base 5, the lever 6 being in its intermediate angular position, as illustrated in FIG. figure 13 .

L'inclinaison de la poignée 4 doit être suffisante pour fournir un espace entre la poignée 4 et la base 5 assez grand pour l'insertion de l'élément de verrou 55.The inclination of the handle 4 should be sufficient to provide a space between the handle 4 and the base 5 large enough for the insertion of the latch element 55.

Le verrou factice 55 est inséré dans une cavité 56 prévue dans la base 5. La cavité 56 est adjacente au logement 11 de la base 5. Le verrou factice 55 est fixé à la base 5 par une vis 57 à une partie latérale 58 de la base 5, comme illustré sur les figures 13 et 14.The dummy latch 55 is inserted into a cavity 56 provided in the base 5. The cavity 56 is adjacent to the housing 11 of the base 5. The dummy latch 55 is fixed to the base 5 by a screw 57 at a side part 58 of the base. base 5, as shown on the figures 13 and 14 .

Le procédé comprend ensuite une étape de déplacement en rotation de la poignée 4 de la position angulaire intermédiaire vers la position d'ouverture (fig. 5) de sorte à déplacer le levier 6 en translation suivant la direction X d'une position axiale décalée (fig. 6) par rapport au chemin de coulissement Y vers une position axiale alignée avec le chemin de coulissement Y par des moyens de transformation de mouvement 14 transformant le movement de rotation du levier 6 en un mouvement de translation pour le libérer des premier et deuxième moyens de blocage 12, 13.The method then comprises a step of moving the handle 4 in rotation from the intermediate angular position to the open position ( fig. 5 ) so as to move the lever 6 in translation in the X direction from an offset axial position ( fig. 6 ) relative to the sliding path Y to an axial position aligned with the sliding path Y by movement transformation means 14 transforming the rotational movement of the lever 6 into a translational movement to release it from the first and second locking means 12, 13.

La poignée 4 pivote de l'angle de 5,65° jusqu'à un angle d'environ 6, 65°. La direction longitudinale A' de la poignée 4 est alors inclinée par rapport à la direction longitudinale A de la porte 2, d'un angle d'environ 6,65°, correspondant à une rotation du levier 6 d'environ 8° de sa position angulaire intermédiaire (position de livraison) jusqu'à la position d'ouverture.Handle 4 swivels from an angle of 5.65 ° to an angle of approximately 6.65 °. The longitudinal direction A 'of the handle 4 is then inclined relative to the longitudinal direction A of the door 2, by an angle of approximately 6.65 °, corresponding to a rotation of the lever 6 of approximately 8 ° of its intermediate angular position (delivery position) up to the open position.

Lors du déplacement en rotation de la poignée 4 de la position angulaire intermédiaire vers la position d'ouverture, la cavité 25, des moyens de transformation de mouvement 14, formée dans le levier 6, coulisse le long de la cale inclinée 24 positionnée sur la base 5. Ceci permet la translation du levier 6 de la position axiale décalée par rapport au chemin de coulissement Y vers une position axiale alignée avec le chemin de coulissement Y.During the rotational displacement of the handle 4 from the intermediate angular position to the open position, the cavity 25, of the movement transformation means 14, formed in the lever 6, slides along the inclined wedge 24 positioned on the base 5. This allows the translation of the lever 6 from the axial position offset with respect to the sliding path Y to an axial position aligned with the sliding path Y.

Lors du déplacement en rotation de la poignée 4 de la position angulaire intermédiaire vers la position d'ouverture, les pattes flexibles 15 se désengagent des gorges 18 du levier 6 et s'écartent l'une par rapport à l'autre lorsque qu'elles arrivent sur une surface circulaire 29 de l'élément cylindrique 19.During the rotational movement of the handle 4 from the intermediate angular position to the open position, the flexible tabs 15 disengage from the grooves 18 of the lever 6 and move away from each other when they arrive on a circular surface 29 of the cylindrical element 19.

Lorsque le levier 6 arrive en position d'ouverture, l'extrémité latérale 17 des pattes flexibles 15 vient en butée contre une surface latérale 31 de l'élément cylindrique 19, permettant un blocage axial du levier 6 suivant l'axe de rotation X pendant le fonctionnement normal du levier 6 entre les positions d'ouverture et de fermeture.When the lever 6 arrives in the open position, the lateral end 17 of the flexible tabs 15 abuts against a lateral surface 31 of the cylindrical element 19, allowing axial locking of the lever 6 along the axis of rotation X during normal operation of lever 6 between the open and closed positions.

Le levier 6 retrouve ainsi sa position axiale normale de fonctionnement. Il peut retourner en position de fermeture une fois la poignée 4 relachée.The lever 6 thus returns to its normal axial operating position. It can return to the closed position once the handle 4 has been released.

L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de réalisation de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications.The invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that a person skilled in the art is in a position to produce various variant embodiments of the invention without, however, departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
