Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for temporarily closing an opening element on a support element.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a device for temporarily closing a door or a moving element of a motor vehicle, for example a tailgate or a bonnet, on the bodywork of said vehicle.
  • existing temporary closure devices comprise a fixing plate intended to be fixed on a support element and a body attached to the fixing plate and forming an abutment capable of serving as a support for the opening element.
  • the support element is the chassis frame and the opening element is the vehicle door.
  • the temporary locking device is placed at the level where the strike plate of the lock will be installed later during assembly in the assembly workshop.
  • the fixing plate may be provided with bores which are aligned with the fixing holes of the strike plate of the lock. In this way, the mounting plate can be screwed to the vehicle chassis by means of screws inserted into the bores of said plate.
  • the invention aims to remedy all or part of the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a device for temporarily closing an element opening on a support element whose assembly and disassembly are quick, simple and economical.

  • the stroke of the lock is guided by the sliding of the lug 251 in the first slide 260.
  • the lug 251 abuts against a lower end 261 of the first slide 260.
  • the lug 251 abuts against an upper end 261 of the first slide 260.
  • the stop body 3 comprises a stop nose 31 which rests on a bottom 510 of the opening 51 through which the lock passes through the opening element 5 when the opening element 5 is in a locked position. closure as shown in figure 11 .
  • the abutment body 3 further comprises a second movable element 32 having the function of holding the opening element 5 to prevent any inadvertent opening of the opening element 5.
  • the stop nose 31 and the second movable element 32 constitute means for blocking the opening element 5.
  • FIG 9 shows the first stage of the closure of the opening element 5 on the support element 4.
  • the opening element 5 approaches the support element 4 following the direction of opening and closure F.
  • the opening element gradually approaches the second movable element 32 until it comes into contact with it.
  • the contact between the opening element 5 and the second movable element 32 marks the start of the second closing stage.
  • the contact is made at the level of an edge of the opening 51 for the passage of the lock with a beak 321 of the second movable element 32.
  • the second movable element 32 is V-shaped and comprises a flexible tongue 320 (or flexible tab) and a plate 326.
  • the flexible tongue 320 is inclined relative to the axis V while the plate 326 extends substantially along the longitudinal axis L.
  • the spout 321 is located at a free end of the flexible tongue 320 on a front face 325 thereof.
  • the beak 321 has a triangular shape and it is oriented so that the most exposed edge of the triangle is in contact first with the opening element 5, which makes it possible to reduce the friction between the flexible tab and the opening element 5 and to avoid scratches.
  • the second movable element 32 is mounted so as to be able to rotate relative to the stop body 3.
  • the rotational movement of the second movable element 32 is ensured by a second elastic spring-effect hinge 322 of axis K.
  • the axis K of the second hinge 322 forms the axis of rotation of the flexible tab.

  • the second movable element 32 is in a biased position following contact with the opening element 5.
  • the flexible tongue 320 has a low resistance to the opening element 5, which makes it possible to reduce the friction between these two elements compared to existing solutions.
  • the second movable element 32 returns to its initial position thanks to the second elastic hinge 322, which prevents the return of the opening element 5, therefore its opening.
  • the opening element 5 is in a completely closed position in which the edge 510 is in contact with the abutment nose 31 of the abutment body 3. In this position, there is a small operating clearance between the flexible tongue 320 and the opening element 5. The stiffness of the flexible tongue makes it possible to retain the opening element 5.
  • the opening element 5 when opening, the opening element 5 is moved in a direction opposite to the direction of closing until it is again in contact with the flexible tongue 320 at the level of the rear face 324, opposite to the front face 325 Since the flexible tongue 320 can deform elastically, it suffices to apply a suitable force, generally between 30N and 60N, to cause the flexible tongue 320 to bend, which tilts forwards according to the arrow P illustrated on the figure 18 to release the opening element.
  • THE figures 14 and 15 illustrate the first step of the assembly method during which the first attachment member 21 is inserted into the first bore 41. At the end of this first step, the first attachment member 21 is positioned relative to the element of support 4 so that the nose 212 of said member is below the inner face 46 of the support element 4.
  • the second step of the assembly process consists in tilting the device 1 according to the arrow B illustrated on the figure 16 and in a counterclockwise direction to insert the second attachment member 22 into the second bore 42.
  • the second attachment member 22 is located behind the inner face 46, just like the first member of hooking 21.
  • the lock 24 is in the unlocked position due to the support of the abutment member 240 against the outer face 45 of the support element 4.
  • the temporary closure device 1 is pushed slightly towards the interior of the vehicle, here according to the arrow C illustrated on the figure 18 , so that the abutment member 240 is opposite the second bore 42.
  • the arrow C is in a direction opposite to the first attachment member 21.
  • the lock 24 returns to its initial position and therefore to the locked position.
  • the abutment member is automatically placed in a locking position of the first attachment member 21 by the spring effect of the lock 24 conferred by the first elastic hinge 243.
  • the temporary closure device 1 is fixedly attached to the support element 4.
  • the temporary closing device 1 for the dismantling of the temporary closing device 1, it suffices to manually raise the lock 24 carrying the abutment member 240 by manipulating the gripping part 246 and at the same time to move the device 1 towards the outside of the vehicle according to the direction indicated by the arrow D, that is to say here in the direction of the first attachment member 21.
  • the abutment member 240 being disengaged from the second bore 42, the device 1 is free to be moved so as to bring out the second attachment member and then the first attachment member from their corresponding bore.
  • the assembly and disassembly process of the temporary closure device 1 does not require any additional tool. They can be done quickly and easily by the operator working on the assembly or painting line.
