Titre de l'invention : Articulation à blocage réversible, fenêtre de véhicule équipé d'une telle articulationTitle of the invention: Reversible locking hinge, vehicle window fitted with such a hinge
[0001] La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française 2000729 déposée le 24 janvier 2020 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence. The present invention claims the priority of French application 2000729 filed on January 24, 2020, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated here by reference.
[0002] L’invention concerne une articulation comportant une position de blocage, ainsi qu’une fenêtre de véhicule comportant une telle articulation, et un véhicule équipé d’une vitre articulée par une telle articulation. The invention relates to a hinge comprising a locking position, as well as a vehicle window comprising such a hinge, and a vehicle equipped with a window hinged by such a hinge.
[0003] Une charnière est un dispositif comportant deux charnons mobiles l’un par rapport à l’autre par rotation autour d’un axe de rotation les reliant. Afin de donner à la charnière une position de blocage réversible, il est connu d'installer un moyen de blocage réversible dans la charnière, au niveau de l'axe de rotation, permettant un maintien en position de blocage de la charnière, et de sortir de cette position de blocage lorsqu'un effort supérieur à un niveau donné est appliquée à la charnière. [0003] A hinge is a device comprising two knuckles movable relative to each other by rotation about an axis of rotation connecting them. In order to give the hinge a reversible locking position, it is known to install a reversible locking means in the hinge, at the level of the axis of rotation, allowing the hinge to be held in the locking position, and to exit of this locking position when a force greater than a given level is applied to the hinge.
[0004] Par exemple, le brevet US20090293228 décrit une charnière de porte de véhicule permettant de maintenir la porte dans une position ouverte. La charnière comporte un moyen de blocage réversible situé au niveau de l'axe de ladite charnière. La charnière est formée par deux charnons reliés entre eux par deux pions cylindriques alignés suivant l'axe de rotation de la charnière, ces deux pions cylindrique formant chacun une partie de l'axe de rotation. Ces deux pions sont fixes par rapport au premier charnon, comportent chacun une rainure dans leur diamètre et débouchant à une extrémité du pion. Les rainures sont traversées par deux tiges cylindriques orientées perpendiculairement à l'axe de rotation. Au niveau de chaque pion, une rondelle épaisse est enfilée autour du pion, par l'extrémité du pion comportant la rainure, avant que la tige cylindrique soit insérée dans cette rainure. Un ressort hélicoïdal exerce une pression contre la tige cylindrique de manière à l'appuyer contre une face de la rondelle épaisse. La rondelle épaisse est fixe en rotation par rapport au deuxième charnon, et comporte une rainure de blocage disposés suivant son diamètre dans laquelle vient s'insérer la tige cylindrique pour une certaine position du deuxième charnon. [0005] Lorsque le deuxième charnon pivote par rapport premier charnon, il fait piloter la rondelle épaisse par rapport à la tige cylindrique suivant l'axe de rotation de la charnière jusqu'à ce que cette tige cylindrique rentre dans la rainure de blocage poussée par le ressort hélicoïdal. Lorsque la tige cylindrique est dans la rainure de blocage, la charnière est dans une position de blocage. Il faut exercer un effort sur le deuxième charnon suffisamment important pour permettre à la tige cylindrique de repousser le ressort et sortir de la rainure pour débloquer la charnière. Les deux pions étant face-à-face, le ressort hélicoïdal est disposé entre ces deux pions et pousse à chacune de ces extrémités contre chacune des tiges cylindriques insérés dans les rainures des pions. [0004] For example, the patent US20090293228 describes a vehicle door hinge making it possible to keep the door in an open position. The hinge comprises a reversible locking means located at the level of the axis of said hinge. The hinge is formed by two knuckles interconnected by two cylindrical pins aligned along the axis of rotation of the hinge, these two cylindrical pins each forming part of the axis of rotation. These two pins are fixed relative to the first knuckle, each have a groove in their diameter and opening out at one end of the pin. The grooves are crossed by two cylindrical rods oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation. At the level of each pin, a thick washer is threaded around the pin, by the end of the pin comprising the groove, before the cylindrical rod is inserted into this groove. A coil spring exerts pressure against the cylindrical rod so as to press it against a face of the thick washer. The thick washer is fixed in rotation with respect to the second knuckle, and has a locking groove arranged along its diameter into which the cylindrical rod is inserted for a certain position of the second knuckle. When the second knuckle pivots relative to the first knuckle, it drives the thick washer relative to the cylindrical rod along the axis of rotation of the hinge until this cylindrical rod enters the locking groove pushed by the coil spring. When the cylindrical rod is in the locking groove, the hinge is in a locking position. It is necessary to exert a force on the second knuckle large enough to allow the cylindrical rod to push back the spring and to come out of the groove to unlock the hinge. The two pins being face to face, the helical spring is placed between these two pins and pushes at each of these ends against each of the cylindrical rods inserted in the grooves of the pins.
[0006] L'inconvénient d'une telle conception est qu'elle est complexe à assembler car il faut aligner tous les éléments permettant son blocage et les pions formant l'axe de rotation en même temps, au moment d'insérer lesdits pions. De plus, elle nécessite un grand nombre de pièces. La conception est complexe car il faut assurer d'une part le blocage des pions par rapport au premier charnon et d'autre part le blocage des rondelles épaisses par rapport au deuxième charnon, en s’assurant que ces rondelles soient convenablement positionnées. The disadvantage of such a design is that it is complex to assemble because it is necessary to align all the elements allowing its blocking and the pins forming the axis of rotation at the same time, when inserting said pins. In addition, it requires a large number of parts. The design is complex because it is necessary to ensure on the one hand the locking of the pins relative to the first knuckle and on the other hand the locking of the thick washers relative to the second knuckle, making sure that these washers are properly positioned.
[0007] En particulier, l'un des objectifs de l'invention est de proposer une charnière comportant une position de blocage réversible, simple à réaliser et à assembler, réalisée avec peu de pièces et à faible coût. [0007] In particular, one of the objectives of the invention is to provide a hinge comprising a reversible locking position, simple to produce and to assemble, produced with few parts and at low cost.
[0008] Ce but est atteint selon l’invention, grâce à une charnière comportant un premier charnon monté pivotant sur un deuxième charnon entre une première position et une deuxième position, par un axe de rotation, agencée de sorte qu’en deuxième position une face intérieure du deuxième charnon, sensiblement perpendiculaire à l’axe de rotation, est disposée en vis-à-vis d’une face latérale du premier charnon, remarquable en ce que le deuxième charnon comporte sur sa face intérieure un moyen de blocage, et le premier charnon comporte sur sa face latérale une interface de fixation coopérant avec ledit moyen de blocage lorsque ledit premier charnon est en deuxième position de sorte à bloquer ledit premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon dans cette deuxième position, le moyen de blocage étant mobile de manière à permettre libérer le blocage du premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon. [0009] Ainsi avantageusement, le nombre de pièce nécessaire pour permettre le blocage réversible de la charnière en deuxième position peut être réduit, le blocage réversible étant obtenu par déplacement du moyen de blocage mobile. Un autre avantage est que l’assemblage est simple à réaliser car le moyen de verrouillage est indépendant de l’assemblage des deux charnons entre eux par l’axe de rotation, le moyen de blocage n’étant pas lié directement à cet axe de rotation. Un autre avantage est que le déblocage peut être obtenu par simple déplacement du moyen de blocage. This object is achieved according to the invention, thanks to a hinge comprising a first knuckle pivotally mounted on a second knuckle between a first position and a second position, by an axis of rotation, arranged so that in the second position a inner face of the second knuckle, substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation, is arranged opposite a lateral face of the first knuckle, remarkable in that the second knuckle comprises on its inner face a locking means, and the first knuckle comprises on its lateral face a fixing interface cooperating with said locking means when said first knuckle is in the second position so as to lock said first knuckle relative to the second knuckle in this second position, the locking means being movable from so as to release the blocking of the first knuckle relative to the second knuckle. [0009] Thus advantageously, the number of parts necessary to allow the reversible locking of the hinge in the second position can be reduced, the reversible locking being obtained by displacement of the mobile locking means. Another advantage is that the assembly is simple to achieve because the locking means is independent of the assembly of the two knuckles between them by the axis of rotation, the locking means not being directly linked to this axis of rotation. . Another advantage is that the unlocking can be obtained by simply moving the locking means.
[0010] Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l’invention, le deuxième charnon comporte un alésage cylindrique de direction sensiblement parallèle à l’axe de rotation, débouchant sur la face intérieure du deuxième charnon et comportant un rétrécissement de sa section au niveau de son extrémité débouchant sur ladite face intérieure, un verrou comportant le moyen de blocage mobile disposé dans alésage cylindrique et un ressort poussant ledit moyen de blocage mobile jusqu’à une position de butée dans laquelle ce moyen de blocage mobile est en appui contre le rétrécissement, le moyen de blocage comportant une extrémité de contact dépassant de l’alésage cylindrique au travers du rétrécissement, en saillie de la face intérieure et coopérant avec l’interface de fixation lorsque ledit premier charnon est en deuxième position de sorte à maintenir ledit premier charnon dans cette deuxième position de manière réversible. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the second knuckle comprises a cylindrical bore with a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, opening onto the inner face of the second knuckle and comprising a narrowing of its section at the level of its end opening onto said inner face, a lock comprising the movable locking means arranged in the cylindrical bore and a spring pushing said movable locking means up to a stop position in which this movable locking means bears against the constriction, the locking means comprising a contact end projecting from the cylindrical bore through the constriction, projecting from the interior face and cooperating with the fixing interface when said first knuckle is in the second position so as to maintain said first knuckle in this second position reversibly.
[0011] Ainsi avantageusement, la réalisation de la charnière avec le verrou est de conception simple. En effet, elle nécessite un simple alésage dans le deuxième charnon, des formes spécifiques dans le premier charnon, par exemple des reliefs ou évidement, pour coopérer avec le moyen de blocage mobile, et uniquement deux éléments pour réaliser le verrou, le moyen de blocage mobile et un ressort. [0011] Thus advantageously, the production of the hinge with the lock is of simple design. Indeed, it requires a simple bore in the second knuckle, specific shapes in the first knuckle, for example reliefs or recess, to cooperate with the mobile locking means, and only two elements to achieve the lock, the locking means mobile and a spring.
[0012] Dans un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le ressort est un ressort hélicoïdal inséré dans l’alésage cylindrique. [0012] In one embodiment of the invention, the spring is a coil spring inserted into the cylindrical bore.
[0013] Ainsi avantageusement, le ressort est de conception simple et est guidé par les paroi de l’alésage. [0013] Thus advantageously, the spring is of simple design and is guided by the walls of the bore.
[0014] Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l’invention, le moyen de blocage mobile est une bille, le rétrécissement est agencé de sorte à laisser dépasser une partie de la bille de l’alésage cylindrique, en saillie de la face intérieure, cette partie de la bille formant l’extrémité de contact, et l’interface de fixation est un relief en creux située sur la face latérale du premier charnon située en vis-à-vis de la face intérieur du deuxième charnon lorsque ledit deuxième charnon est en deuxième position, la bille s’insérant dans ce relief lorsque ledit deuxième charnon est dans cette deuxième position de manière à bloquer le premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon de manière réversible. In another embodiment of the invention, the movable locking means is a ball, the narrowing is arranged so as to leave a part of the ball protruding from the cylindrical bore, projecting from the inner face, this part of the ball forming the contact end, and the fixing interface is a hollow relief located on the side face of the first knuckle located opposite the inner face of the second knuckle when said second knuckle is in the second position, the ball inserting into this relief when said second knuckle is in this second position so as to block the first knuckle with respect to the second knuckle in a reversible manner.
[0015] Ainsi avantageusement, les pièces formant le verrou sont des pièces largement répandues, et des dimensions standard peuvent être choisies. Ces pièces peuvent donc être standard et donc à très faible coût. [0015] Thus advantageously, the parts forming the lock are widely used parts, and standard dimensions can be chosen. These parts can therefore be standard and therefore at very low cost.
[0016] De plus, lorsque le premier charnon est déplacé vers la deuxième position, sa face latérale va venir frotter contre la bille et déplacer ladite bille vers l’intérieur de l’alésage jusqu’à ce qu’elle se place dans le relief en creux. La pression des ressorts sur la bille insérée en partie dans le relief en creux va permettre le blocage du premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon. Le frottement du premier charnon contre la bille va la faire tourner sur elle-même, réduisant ainsi avantageusement l’effort nécessaire pour amener le premier charnon dans sa deuxième position, la rotation de la bille générant moins d’effort qu’un frottement. De plus, la partie de la surface de la bille en contact avec le premier charnon lorsqu’il est amené en deuxième position est régulièrement changée du fait de la rotation de ladite bille, réduisant l’usure de ladite bille et de la face latérale. In addition, when the first knuckle is moved to the second position, its side face will rub against the ball and move said ball inside the bore until it is placed in the relief. hollow. The pressure of the springs on the ball inserted in part in the hollow relief will allow the first knuckle to be blocked with respect to the second knuckle. The friction of the first knuckle against the ball will cause it to rotate on itself, thus advantageously reducing the effort required to bring the first knuckle to its second position, the rotation of the ball generating less effort than friction. In addition, the part of the surface of the ball in contact with the first knuckle when it is brought to the second position is regularly changed due to the rotation of said ball, reducing the wear of said ball and of the side face.
[0017] Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulier de l’invention, le deuxième charnon comporte un bras s’étendant jusqu’à l’axe de rotation, l’alésage cylindrique traversant ce bras, et une plaque de fermeture obture une extrémité d’entrée dudit alésage cylindrique située du côté opposé à l’extrémité comportant le rétrécissement, le ressort étant mis en compression entre cette plaque de fermeture et le moyen de blocage. In another particular embodiment of the invention, the second knuckle comprises an arm extending as far as the axis of rotation, the cylindrical bore passing through this arm, and a closure plate closes one end of it. 'inlet of said cylindrical bore located on the side opposite to the end comprising the constriction, the spring being placed in compression between this closure plate and the locking means.
[0018] Ainsi avantageusement, l’assemblage de la charnière est simplifié. Le moyen de blocage mobile et le ressort sont insérées par l’extrémité d’entrée de l’alésage cylindrique opposé au rétrécissement, la plaque de fermeture venant obturer cette extrémité. Le verrou peut ainsi être assemblé facilement à la charnière après l’assemblage des deux charnons entre eux. [0019] Dans un mode de réalisation de l’invention, le bras du deuxième charnon comporte un alésage de rotation traversé par l’axe de rotation, et la plaque de fermeture recouvre l’extrémité d’entrée de l’alésage, s’étend jusqu’à l’alésage de rotation et comporte une ouverture de passage traversée par ledit axe de rotation, l’axe de rotation comportant un épaulement plaquant la plaque de fermeture contre ledit bras du deuxième charnon. [0018] Thus advantageously, the assembly of the hinge is simplified. The movable locking means and the spring are inserted through the entry end of the cylindrical bore opposite the constriction, the closure plate closing off this end. The lock can thus be easily assembled to the hinge after assembling the two knuckles together. In one embodiment of the invention, the arm of the second knuckle comprises a rotational bore through which the axis of rotation passes, and the closure plate covers the inlet end of the bore, s' extends to the rotational bore and comprises a passage opening through which said axis of rotation passes, the axis of rotation comprising a shoulder pressing the closure plate against said arm of the second knuckle.
[0020] Ainsi avantageusement, la plaque de fermeture est maintenue contre le deuxième charnon par l’axe de rotation. Il n’est pas nécessaire d’ajouter des moyens de fixation spécifique pour cette plaque de fermeture. [0020] Thus advantageously, the closure plate is held against the second knuckle by the axis of rotation. It is not necessary to add specific fixing means for this closure plate.
[0021] Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l’invention, le deuxième charnon comporte deux bras parallèles et en vis-à-vis, distants et traversés chacun à l’une de leur extrémité par l’axe de rotation, l’un desdits bras du deuxième charnon comportant le moyen de blocage mobile, et le premier charnon comporte un bras relié à l’axe de rotation entre les deux bras du deuxième charnon, une partie dudit bras du premier charnon se plaçant entre les deux bras du deuxième charnon lorsqu’il est en deuxième position et comportant l’interface de fixation. In another embodiment of the invention, the second knuckle comprises two parallel arms and vis-à-vis, distant and each crossed at one of their end by the axis of rotation, one said arms of the second knuckle comprising the movable locking means, and the first knuckle comprises an arm connected to the axis of rotation between the two arms of the second knuckle, part of said arm of the first knuckle being placed between the two arms of the second knuckle when it is in the second position and comprising the fixing interface.
[0022] Ainsi avantageusement, la charnière est particulièrement rigide. [0022] Thus advantageously, the hinge is particularly rigid.
[0023] Dans un mode de réalisation de l’invention, chaque bras du deuxième charnon comporte une face intérieure, l’une en vis de l’autre, et un moyen de blocage mobile en saillie de chacune de ces faces intérieure, et le bras du premier charnon comporte deux faces latérales opposée se plaçant entre les deux bras et en vis-à-vis de chacune des faces intérieures lorsque le premier charnon est en deuxième position, chacune de ces faces latérales comportant une interface de fixation coopérant chacune avec un des moyen de blocage mobile. In one embodiment of the invention, each arm of the second knuckle has an inner face, one facing the other, and a movable locking means projecting from each of these inner faces, and the arm of the first knuckle comprises two opposite side faces which are placed between the two arms and opposite each of the inner faces when the first knuckle is in the second position, each of these lateral faces comprising a fixing interface each cooperating with a mobile locking means.
[0024] Ainsi avantageusement, l’effort de maintien du premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon en deuxième position est plus important grâce à la présence de deux moyens de blocage. [0024] Thus advantageously, the force for maintaining the first knuckle relative to the second knuckle in the second position is greater thanks to the presence of two locking means.
[0025] L’invention porte également sur une fenêtre pour automobile comportant une vitre fixe et une vitre mobile par rotation autour d’un axe parallèle, comportant au moins une charnière telle que décrite précédemment fixée à la vitre mobile de manière à permettre sa rotation. [0026] L’invention porte également sur un véhicule comportant une fenêtre telle que décrite précédemment, dont la première position du premier charnon par rapport au deuxième charnon correspond à une position fermée du système de vitrage empêchant l’air extérieur de rentrer à l’intérieur du véhicule, et la deuxième position correspond à une position ouverte dans laquelle la vitre mobile est rabattue contre la vitre fixe et est maintenue dans cette position grâce au moyen de blocage mobile de la charnière. The invention also relates to a window for an automobile comprising a fixed pane and a pane movable by rotation about a parallel axis, comprising at least one hinge as described above fixed to the movable pane so as to allow its rotation . The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a window as described above, the first position of the first knuckle relative to the second knuckle corresponds to a closed position of the glazing system preventing outside air from entering the window. interior of the vehicle, and the second position corresponds to an open position in which the movable window is folded against the fixed window and is held in this position by virtue of the movable locking means of the hinge.
[0027] Ainsi avantageusement, la fenêtre peut être ouverte et maintenu dans cette position ouverte par un système simple et peu cher. [0027] Thus advantageously, the window can be opened and kept in this open position by a simple and inexpensive system.
[0028] L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels : The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0034] Le figure 1 illustre une charnière 1 suivant l'invention comportant un premier charnon 11 monté pivotant sur un deuxième charnon 12 à l'aide d'un axe de rotation 2. Le premier charnon 11 comporte un bras 112 relié à une platine 111. L'extrémité de ce bras 112 opposée à la platine 111 comporte un trou cylindrique de section circulaire traversé par l'axe de rotation 2. Figure 1 illustrates a hinge 1 according to the invention comprising a first knuckle 11 pivotably mounted on a second knuckle 12 using a rotation axis 2. The first knuckle 11 comprises an arm 112 connected to a plate 111. The end of this arm 112 opposite to the plate 111 has a cylindrical hole of circular section through which the axis of rotation 2 passes.
[0035] Le deuxième charnon 12 comporte une platine 121 de laquelle s'étend deux bras 122 parallèlement entre eux, de sorte que le deuxième charnon 12 a une forme générale en "U", les deux branches du « U » étant formées par les deux bras 122 de ce deuxième charnon 12. L'extrémité du bras 112 du premier charnon 11 traversée par l’axe de rotation 2 est disposée entre les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12, de sorte que l’axe de rotation 2 traverse les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon et le bras 112 du premier charnon. The second knuckle 12 comprises a plate 121 from which extends two arms 122 parallel to each other, so that the second knuckle 12 has a shape general "U", the two branches of the "U" being formed by the two arms 122 of this second knuckle 12. The end of the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 crossed by the axis of rotation 2 is disposed between the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12, so that the axis of rotation 2 passes through the two arms 122 of the second knuckle and the arm 112 of the first knuckle.
[0036] Chacun des bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 comporte un alésage cylindrique 120 traversant lesdits bras 122, ces deux alésages 120 étant alignés et parallèles à l’axe de rotation 2. Ces deux alésages 120 débouchent chacun dans l’espace entre les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12. Ces deux alésages 120 sont par exemple alignés suivant un même axe. Each of the arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 comprises a cylindrical bore 120 passing through said arms 122, these two bores 120 being aligned and parallel to the axis of rotation 2. These two bores 120 each open into the space between the two arm 122 of the second knuckle 12. These two bores 120 are for example aligned along the same axis.
[0037] Le premier charnon 11 pivote par rapport au deuxième charnon entre une première position et une deuxième position. Dans le mode de réalisation présenté dans les figures, la première position est une position dans laquelle le bras 112 du premier charnon 11 et les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 sont de part et d’autre de l’axe de la rotation, faisant entre eux un angle d’environ 180 degrés. The first knuckle 11 pivots relative to the second knuckle between a first position and a second position. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the first position is a position in which the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 and the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 are on either side of the axis of rotation, making between them an angle of about 180 degrees.
[0038] Lorsque le premier charnon 11 est en deuxième position par rapport au deuxième charnon 12, le bras 112 du premier charnon 11 est au moins en partie entre les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12, de sorte à être en vis-à-vis des alésages cylindriques 120. Dans cette deuxième position, le bras 112 du premier charnon 11 est par exemple en butée ou à proximité de la platine 121 du deuxième charnon 12, c’est-à-dire par exemple à moins de quelques millimètres de la platine 121 du deuxième charnon 12. Les faces des bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 faisant face au bras 112 du premier charnon 11 sont appelées faces intérieures 123 du deuxième charnon 12. Les alésages cylindriques 120 débouchent d’un côté sur ces faces intérieures 123. Ces faces intérieures 123 sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à l’axe de rotation 2. When the first knuckle 11 is in the second position relative to the second knuckle 12, the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 is at least partly between the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12, so as to be facing each other. screw cylindrical bores 120. In this second position, the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 is for example in abutment or near the plate 121 of the second knuckle 12, that is to say for example less than a few millimeters from the plate 121 of the second knuckle 12. The faces of the arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 facing the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 are called the inner faces 123 of the second knuckle 12. The cylindrical bores 120 open on one side on these inner faces 123 These interior faces 123 are substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 2.
[0039] Un verrou 3 est inséré dans chacun des alésages cylindriques 120. Comme illustré en figure 2, chacun de ces verrous 3 est constitué d’un moyen de blocage mobile 30 et d’un ressort 31. Chaque alésage cylindrique 120 comporte un rétrécissement de sa section du côté de son extrémité débouchant sur la face intérieure 123 de chacun des bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12, de manière à empêcher le moyen de blocage mobile 30 de sortir totalement dudit alésage 120. Le moyen de blocage mobile 30 comporte une extrémité de contact dépassant de l’alésage 120 au travers du rétrécissement lorsque le ressort 31 pousse le moyen de blocage mobile 30 contre ledit rétrécissement. Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, le moyen de blocage mobile 30 est une bille 30, et le rétrécissement permet de blocage la bille 30 pour l’empêcher de sortir totalement de l’alésage cylindrique 120 tout en laissant dépasser une partie de ladite bille 30. L’extrémité de contact correspond à la partie de la bille 30 qui sort de l’alésage cylindrique 120 et dépasse de la face intérieure 123. A lock 3 is inserted into each of the cylindrical bores 120. As illustrated in Figure 2, each of these locks 3 consists of a movable locking means 30 and a spring 31. Each cylindrical bore 120 has a narrowing of its section on the side of its end opening onto the inner face 123 of each of the arms 122 of the second knuckle 12, so as to prevent the movable locking means 30 from completely coming out of said bore 120. The movable locking means 30 has a contact end projecting from the bore 120 through the constriction when the spring 31 urges the movable locking means 30 against said constriction. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the movable blocking means 30 is a ball 30, and the narrowing allows the ball 30 to be blocked to prevent it from completely coming out of the cylindrical bore 120 while leaving a part of the tube protruding. said ball 30. The contact end corresponds to the part of the ball 30 which comes out of the cylindrical bore 120 and protrudes from the inner face 123.
[0040] Dans le mode de réalisation illustré en figure 2, les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 sont reliés entre eux par une partie liaison 124 qui permet de rigidifier ledit deuxième charnon 12. Cette partie liaison 124 est située de sorte que la section transversale du deuxième charnon 12 au niveau de ces bras 122 a une forme de « U », créant une rainure entre les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 et dans laquelle rainure s’insère une partie du bras 112 du premier charnon 11 lorsqu’il est en deuxième position. En variante, le deuxième charnon 12 ne comporte pas cette partie liaison 124. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 are interconnected by a link portion 124 which allows to stiffen said second knuckle 12. This link portion 124 is located so that the section transverse of the second knuckle 12 at the level of these arms 122 has a "U" shape, creating a groove between the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 and in which a groove is inserted part of the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 when is in second position. As a variant, the second knuckle 12 does not include this connecting part 124.
[0041] L’alésage cylindrique 120 est fermé par une plaque de fermeture 4 à son extrémité dite extrémité d’entrée, qui est opposée à son l’extrémité comportant le rétrécissement. La bille 30 puis le ressort 31 sont insérés successivement dans l’alésage cylindrique 120 par l’extrémité d’entrée dudit alésage cylindrique 120 avant de placer la plaque de fermeture 4. Une fois la plaque de fermeture installée, celle-ci comprime le ressort 31 de sorte qu’il pousse ladite bille 30 contre l’extrémité de l’alésage cylindrique 120 comportant le rétrécissement, jusqu’à ce qu’une partie de la bille 30 ressorte et dépasse en saillie de la face intérieure 123 du bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12. Dans cette position, la bille 30 est dans une position de butée. The cylindrical bore 120 is closed by a closure plate 4 at its end called the entry end, which is opposite its end comprising the constriction. The ball 30 and then the spring 31 are inserted successively into the cylindrical bore 120 through the entry end of said cylindrical bore 120 before placing the closure plate 4. Once the closure plate is installed, the latter compresses the spring. 31 so that it pushes said ball 30 against the end of the cylindrical bore 120 having the constriction, until part of the ball 30 comes out and protrudes from the inner face 123 of the arm 122 of the second knuckle 12. In this position, the ball 30 is in a stop position.
[0042] Dans le figure 1 , la plaque de fermeture 4 s’étend jusqu’en vis-à-vis de l’alésage de rotation 13 situé à l’extrémité des bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12. La plaque de fermeture 4 comporte une ouverture traversée par l’axe de rotation 2. L’axe de rotation 2 est maintenu par aplatissement de chacune de ses extrémités à la manière d’un rivet, aplatissement formant un épaulement. Les plaques de fermeture 4 situées de chaque côté du deuxième charnon 12, sur chacun des bras 122 dudit deuxième charnon 12, sont maintenues plaquées contre le deuxième charnon 12 par les épaulements de l’axe de rotation 2. In Figure 1, the closure plate 4 extends as far as vis-à-vis the rotational bore 13 located at the end of the arms 122 of the second knuckle 12. The closure plate 4 comprises an opening crossed by the axis of rotation 2. The axis of rotation 2 is maintained by flattening each of its ends in the manner of a rivet, flattening forming a shoulder. The closing plates 4 located on each side of the second knuckle 12, on each of the arms 122 of said second knuckle 12, are held pressed against the second knuckle 12 by the shoulders of the axis of rotation 2.
[0043] Pour assurer le blocage réversible dans la deuxième position du premier charnon 11 par rapport au deuxième charnon 12, le bras 112 du premier charnon 11 comporte sur chacune de ces faces en vis-à-vis des alésages cylindriques 120 lorsque le ledit premier charnon 11 est en deuxième position, faces nommées faces latérales 113, une interface de fixation 110 sous la forme d’un creux 110, comme illustré en figure 1 et 3, coopérant avec la bille 30. Lorsque le premier charnon 11 et le deuxième charnon 12 sont dans cette deuxième position, la partie de chacune des billes 30 dépassant de chacune des faces intérieures 123 du deuxième charnon 12 se place dans chacun des creux 110 situés sur les faces latérales 113 du premier charnon 11. Dans cette position, les billes 30 sont soit dans une position de butée, soit légèrement enfoncées dans leurs alésages 120 respectifs mais toujours dans le creux 110, de sorte qu’elles exercent une pression contre le bras 112 du premier charnon 11 sous l’effort des ressorts 30. Cette pression sur les billes 30 permet un blocage efficace en deuxième position du premier charnon 11 par rapport au deuxième charnon 12. Le creux 110 est par exemple de forme complémentaire à la partie de la bille 30 qui vient s’insérer dedans. To ensure the reversible locking in the second position of the first knuckle 11 relative to the second knuckle 12, the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 comprises on each of these faces vis-à-vis cylindrical bores 120 when said first knuckle 11 is in the second position, faces called side faces 113, a fixing interface 110 in the form of a hollow 110, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, cooperating with the ball 30. When the first knuckle 11 and the second knuckle 12 are in this second position, the part of each of the balls 30 projecting from each of the inner faces 123 of the second knuckle 12 is placed in each of the hollows 110 located on the side faces 113 of the first knuckle 11. In this position, the balls 30 are either in a stop position or slightly sunk in their respective bores 120 but still in the hollow 110, so that they exert pressure against the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 under the th Strength of the springs 30. This pressure on the balls 30 allows effective locking in the second position of the first knuckle 11 relative to the second knuckle 12. The hollow 110 is for example of a shape complementary to the part of the ball 30 which is inserted. inside.
[0044] Lorsque le premier charnon 11 se déplace depuis la première position vers la deuxième position, le bras 112 de ce premier charnon 11 va se placer entre les bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12, déplacer les billes 30 du fait de la largeur supérieure de ce bras 112 du premier charnon 11 à l’espacement entre lesdites billes 30, les billes 30 étant poussés vers l’intérieur de l’alésage 120 au contact dudit bras 112 du premier charnon 11. Puis ces billes 30 vont s’insérer dans les creux 110, poussées chacune par l’un des ressorts 31. La pression des ressorts 31 poussant les billes dans le creux 110 va bloquer le premier charnon 11 dans la deuxième position. Pour débloquer la charnière 1 et ramener le premier charnon 11 en première position, il est nécessaire d’appliquer un effort sur ce premier charnon 11 en direction de la première position suffisant pour dépasser l’effort de maintien généré par les billes 30 poussées dans le creux 110 par les ressorts 31. When the first knuckle 11 moves from the first position to the second position, the arm 112 of this first knuckle 11 will be placed between the arms 122 of the second knuckle 12, moving the balls 30 due to the greater width of this arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 at the spacing between said balls 30, the balls 30 being pushed towards the inside of the bore 120 in contact with said arm 112 of the first knuckle 11. Then these balls 30 will be inserted into the hollow 110, each pushed by one of the springs 31. The pressure of the springs 31 pushing the balls into the hollow 110 will block the first knuckle 11 in the second position. To unlock the hinge 1 and return the first knuckle 11 to the first position, it is necessary to apply a force on this first knuckle 11 in the direction of the first position sufficient to exceed the holding force generated by the balls 30 pushed into the hollow 110 by the springs 31.
[0045] Comme illustré en figure 1 , les bras 112 et 122 sont en saillie par rapport à leur platine respective 111 et 121. Cette disposition permet au bras 112 du premier charnon 11 de s’insérer entre les deux bras 122 du deuxième charnon 12 jusqu’à ce que le creux 110 vienne en vis-à-vis de la bille 30 sans être bloqué par un contact entre les deux platines 111 et 121 , ou entre l’un des bras de l’un des charnons et la platine de l’autre charnon, avec un débattement important. As illustrated in Figure 1, the arms 112 and 122 protrude from their respective plate 111 and 121. This arrangement allows the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11 to fit between the two arms 122 of the second knuckle 12 until that the hollow 110 comes opposite the ball 30 without being blocked by a contact between the two plates 111 and 121, or between one of the arms of one of the knuckles and the plate of the other knuckle , with a large travel.
[0046] Pour aider au montage de la plaque de maintien 4, celle-ci peut comporter une ou plusieurs pattes de fixation s’insérant dans un évidement adapté disposé dans le deuxième charnon 12. Comme illustré en figure 1 , un capuchon 5 est placé par-dessus la plaque de maintien 4 et l’extrémité de l’axe de rotation 2 pour protéger l’ensemble. Le capuchon 5 est par exemple fixé par clippage. To assist in the assembly of the retaining plate 4, the latter may include one or more fixing lugs inserting into a suitable recess disposed in the second knuckle 12. As illustrated in Figure 1, a cap 5 is placed over the retaining plate 4 and the end of the axis of rotation 2 to protect the assembly. The cap 5 is for example fixed by clipping.
[0047] Pour fixer la charnière 1 à un support et un ouvrant, celle-ci comporte sur chacun de ces charnons 11 et 12 une vis sur laquelle se fixe un écrou 7. Des patins de contact 6 souples peuvent être prévus pour créer une couche d’absorption et d’amortissement entre les charnons 11 et 12 et les éléments sur lesquels ces charnons 11 et 12 sont fixés, comme par exemple des vitres. To fix the hinge 1 to a support and an opening, the latter comprises on each of these knuckles 11 and 12 a screw on which a nut is fixed 7. Flexible contact pads 6 can be provided to create a layer absorption and damping between the knuckles 11 and 12 and the elements on which these knuckles 11 and 12 are fixed, such as windows, for example.
[0048] La figure 4 illustre une application sur un véhicule 6 d’une charnière 1 telle que décrite précédemment. Le véhicule 6 comporte sur une de ces portes 60 une fenêtre comportant deux vitres, une vitre supérieur 61 fixe et une vitre inférieur 62 mobile. La vitre supérieure 61 est disposée au-dessus de la vitre inférieure 62, la séparation des deux vitres 61 et 62 étant suivant une ligne sensiblement droite et parallèle à l’axe longitudinal du véhicule 6. La vitre inférieure 62 se déplace par rotation autour d’un axe sensiblement parallèle à la ligne de séparation entre les deux vitres 61 et 62, de sorte que ladite vitre inférieure 62 se rabatte vers le haut en vis-à-vis de la vitre supérieure 61. Une charnière 1 suivant l’invention est disposée à chacune des extrémités de la ligne de séparation des deux vitres 61 et 62. Par exemple, le premier charnon 11 est fixé à la vitre inférieure 62 et le deuxième charnon 12 à la vitre supérieure 61 , les axes 2 de rotation étant alignés. En variante, l’inverse peut être réalisé. En autre variante, la fixation de la charnière 1 peut être réalisé non pas sur la vitre supérieure 61 mais un élément de la structure de la porte 60 sur laquelle la vitre supérieure 61 est installée, comme par exemple sur un cadre de la porte 60 disposé de part et d’autre de la fenêtre. L’utilisation de ce type de charnière 2 permet d’avoir une position de maintien de la vitre inférieure 62 en position ouverte, en vis-à-vis de la vitre supérieure 61 , simple à réaliser, avec le minimum de pièce, sans rajouter un autre élément de maintien de la vitre inférieure 62 en plus de la charnière 2. [0049] La fixation sur la vitre inférieure 62 est faites par exemple en réalisant des perçages dans ladite vitre inférieure 62 et en faisant passer au travers une tige filetée fixée à l’un des charnons et sur laquelle un écrou est serré pour prendre en sandwich la vitre inférieure 62 entre l’un des charnons et l’écrou. FIG. 4 illustrates an application on a vehicle 6 of a hinge 1 as described above. The vehicle 6 comprises on one of these doors 60 a window comprising two panes, a fixed upper pane 61 and a movable lower pane 62. The upper window 61 is disposed above the lower window 62, the separation of the two windows 61 and 62 being along a substantially straight line and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 6. The lower window 62 moves by rotation around it. 'an axis substantially parallel to the line of separation between the two panes 61 and 62, so that said lower pane 62 is folded upwards vis-à-vis the upper pane 61. A hinge 1 according to the invention is disposed at each of the ends of the line of separation of the two panes 61 and 62. For example, the first knuckle 11 is fixed to the lower pane 62 and the second knuckle 12 to the upper pane 61, the axes 2 of rotation being aligned. Alternatively, the reverse can be done. In another variant, the fixing of the hinge 1 can be carried out not on the upper pane 61 but an element of the structure of the door 60 on which the upper pane 61 is installed, such as for example on a frame of the door 60 arranged on either side of the window. The use of this type of hinge 2 makes it possible to have a position for holding the lower pane 62 in the open position, opposite the upper pane 61, simple to produce, with the minimum of parts, without adding another element for maintaining the lower window 62 in addition to the hinge 2. Fixing on the lower window 62 is made for example by making holes in said lower window 62 and passing through a threaded rod fixed to one of the knuckles and on which a nut is tightened to sandwich the lower pane 62 between one of the knuckles and the nut.
[0050] En variante, le moyen de blocage 30 peut être réalisé sous d’autres formes, avec toujours une partie du moyen de blocage 30 mobile dépassant de la face intérieur 123 afin de venir bloquer la charnière 1 en coopérant avec le bras 112 du premier charnon 11. Par exemple, le moyen de blocage 30 peut être un cylindre avec un bout arrondi, coulissant dans l’alésage 120. As a variant, the locking means 30 can be produced in other forms, always with a part of the movable locking means 30 projecting from the interior face 123 in order to come and block the hinge 1 by cooperating with the arm 112 of the first knuckle 11. For example, the locking means 30 may be a cylinder with a rounded end, sliding in the bore 120.
