Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'industrie automobile et plus précisément un dispositif pour immobiliser un ouvrant, articulé de manière provisoire ou définitive sur une caisse de véhicule, lors de son passage dans une chaîne de traitement de surface (anticorrosion, passivation, protection, peinture...) .The present invention relates to the field of the automotive industry and more specifically to a device for immobilizing a leaf, hinged temporarily or permanently on a vehicle body, during its passage through a surface treatment line (anticorrosion, passivation, protection , painting...) .

ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Un ouvrant d'une caisse de véhicule, comme une porte, doit, dans un cycle de production, être écarté ou rapproché de la caisse plusieurs fois durant ce cycle et immobilisé aux extrémités de ce débattement, notamment dans son état le plus proche de la caisse. Or, à ce stade, il n'est équipé ni de serrure ni de poignée de manœuvre. Il est connu d'installer sur l'ouvrant, au moyen d'un bâti de fixation, une sorte de serrure provisoire, pour assurer l'immobilisation susdite, et un organe de son actionnement. Cette serrure est le plus souvent formée par une sorte de pêne débordant latéralement de l'ouvrant pour venir s'enclencher derrière une tôle de la caisse qui borde l'ouverture de la caisse que l'ouvrant est destiné à obturer. La plupart du temps, le pêne fait face à une butée portée par le dispositif qui, elle, vient au contact de cette tôle en avant de celle-ci, de sorte que, lorsque le pêne est engagé derrière le bord de l'ouverture de la caisse, ce bord est logé entre le pêne et cette butée avec plus ou moins de jeu selon les exigences du constructeur. Lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant, le pêne est escamoté vers l'intérieur de l'ouverture au moyen d'un organe qui en commande une translation ou, plus souvent, une rotation à l'encontre de l'effet d'un organe élastique de rappel. Lors de la fermeture, le pêne, saillant au-delà du bord de l'ouvrant, poussé par l'organe élastique, est conformé de manière que son appui sur le bord de l'ouverture le repousse automatiquement selon un mouvement identique à celui obtenu par la manœuvre de l'organe susdit. Cet appui glissant présente l'inconvénient de détacher des particules du revêtement qui a été précédemment déposé et sur le bord de l'ouverture de la caisse frotté par le pêne et sur le pêne lui-même. Ces particules détachées tombent sur des parties basses de la caisse et sont la source de défauts pour la ou les couches suivantes appliquées sur ces parties basses.A leaf of a vehicle body, such as a door, must, in a production cycle, be moved away from or brought closer to the body several times during this cycle and immobilized at the ends of this clearance, in particular in its state closest to the box. However, at this stage, it is equipped with neither a lock nor an operating handle. It is known to install on the opening, by means of a fixing frame, a kind of temporary lock, to ensure the aforesaid immobilization, and a member for its actuation. This lock is usually formed by a kind of bolt projecting laterally from the opening to engage behind a sheet of the body which borders the opening of the body that the opening is intended to close. Most of the time, the bolt faces an abutment carried by the device which itself comes into contact with this sheet in front of the latter, so that, when the bolt is engaged behind the edge of the opening of the body, this edge is housed between the bolt and this stop with more or less clearance depending on the manufacturer's requirements. When opening the opening, the bolt is retracted towards the inside of the opening by means of a member which controls a translation or, more often, a rotation against the effect of an elastic return member. When closing, the bolt, projecting beyond the edge of the opening, pushed by the elastic member, is shaped like so that its support on the edge of the opening pushes it back automatically according to a movement identical to that obtained by the maneuver of the aforesaid member. This sliding support has the disadvantage of detaching particles of the coating which has been previously deposited both on the edge of the opening of the box rubbed by the bolt and on the bolt itself. These detached particles fall on the lower parts of the body and are the source of defects for the following layer(s) applied to these lower parts.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Par la présente invention, on entend fournir un dispositif qui ne présente pas cet inconvénient.The present invention is intended to provide a device which does not have this drawback.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'immobilisation d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile articulé à la caisse de ce dernier, dans une position proche de ladite caisse, comportant un bâti rapporté sur une face intérieure de l'ouvrant et formant le support d'un pêne apte, dans un premier état, à être logé derrière un bord de caisse délimitant l'ouverture à laquelle l'ouvrant est associé, et dans un deuxième état, à être escamoté pour pouvoir contourner ledit bord lors de l'éloignement de l'ouvrant, le pêne étant soumis à un effort tendant à le faire saillir dans sa position d'immobilisation de l'ouvrant et étant solidaire d'un élément de manœuvre tendant à l'escamoter à l'encontre de l'effort susdit, le bâti comportant, en regard du pêne, une butée destinée à venir au contact dudit bord de l'ouverture. Le dispositif comporte une gâchette de blocage du pêne dans son deuxième état, dont l'armement est assuré par la manœuvre du pêne en direction de son deuxième état et dont l'effacement est assuré par le bord susdit de l'ouverture de la caisse, jouant le rôle d'une détente, libérant ainsi le pêne en direction de la butée susdite.To this end, the invention relates to a device for immobilizing a motor vehicle opening hinged to the body of the latter, in a position close to said body, comprising a frame attached to an inner face of the opening and forming the support of a bolt capable, in a first state, of being housed behind a box edge delimiting the opening with which the leaf is associated, and in a second state, of being retracted in order to be able to circumvent said edge during the distance of the opening, the bolt being subjected to a force tending to make it protrude in its position of immobilization of the opening and being integral with an operating element tending to retract it against the aforesaid effort, the frame comprising, facing the bolt, a stop intended to come into contact with said edge of the opening. The device comprises a trigger for blocking the bolt in its second state, the arming of which is ensured by the maneuver of the bolt in the direction of its second state and the deletion of which is ensured by the aforesaid edge of the opening of the box, playing the role of a trigger, thus releasing the bolt in the direction of the aforesaid stop.

On comprend qu'avec ce dispositif, on peut éviter le contact frottant entre le bord de caisse et le pêne, donc la création de particules. Il faut pour cela armer la gâchette en agissant sur l'organe de manœuvre de l'ouvrant. Sur la chaîne de traitement, cette manœuvre préalable est obligatoire à compter de la seconde manipulation de l'ouvrant. En revanche, en début de traitement, l'ouvrant peut être rapproché de la caisse sans que l'opérateur ait agi sur l'organe de manœuvre. Il faut alors prévoir que le bord extérieur du pêne soit conformé en une surface de came qui permette son effacement par le bord de caisse sur lequel il va frotter, frottement qui peut générer la formation de microparticules mais qu'une seule fois. L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description d'exemples de réalisation donnée ci-après de manière non limitative.It is understood that with this device, it is possible to avoid rubbing contact between the edge of the body and the bolt, and therefore the creation of particles. This requires arming the trigger by acting on the operating member of the opening. On the processing chain, this preliminary maneuver is mandatory from the second manipulation of the sash. On the other hand, at the start of treatment, the opening can be brought closer to the body without the operator having acted on the operating member. Provision must then be made for the outer edge of the bolt to be formed into a cam surface which allows it to be erased by the edge of the body on which it will rub, friction which can generate the formation of microparticles but only once. The invention will be better understood during the description of exemplary embodiments given below in a non-limiting manner.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Dans chacune des variantes représentées, les pièces ayant les mêmes fonctions portent les mêmes références.In each of the variants represented, the parts having the same functions bear the same references.

Dans les figures 1 et 2, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte une semelle 1 de sa fixation sur l'ouvrant. La semelle 1 porte deux platines 2 et 3, parallèles entre elles et perpendiculaires à la platine 1, qui se trouvent en position horizontale lorsque le dispositif est fixé sur l'ouvrant (la platine 2 étant la platine supérieure et la platine 3 la platine inférieure). Ces deux platines 2, 3 portent entre elles le mécanisme du dispositif commandé par un organe de manœuvre 4 tel qu'il est décrit dans les figures suivantes qui sont des vues de dessus dans lesquelles la platine supérieure 2 n'est pas représentée. Ainsi aux figures 3 et 4, le mécanisme du dispositif selon l'invention est fixé à un ouvrant 5 articulé sur la caisse 6 d'un véhicule autour de charnières provisoires ou définitives non représentées situées sur la gauche des figures. Le déplacement d'ouverture de l'ouvrant 5 est dans le sens de la flèche A, par action selon la flèche B sur l'organe 4. L'ouvrant est associé à une ouverture ou baie de la caisse 6. L'ouverture est limitée par un bord 6a qui se présente sous la forme d'une paroi mince (une tôle simple ou double).In the figures 1 and 2 , the device according to the invention comprises a sole 1 of its attachment to the opening. The sole 1 carries two plates 2 and 3, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plate 1, which are in a horizontal position when the device is fixed on the opening (the plate 2 being the upper plate and the plate 3 the lower plate ). These two plates 2, 3 carry between them the mechanism of the device controlled by an operating member 4 as described in the following figures which are top views in which the upper plate 2 is not shown. Thus to figure 3 and 4 , the mechanism of the device according to the invention is attached to an opening 5 hinged to the body 6 of a vehicle around temporary or permanent hinges, not shown, located on the left of the figures. The opening movement of the opening 5 is in the direction of the arrow A, by action according to the arrow B on the member 4. The opening is associated with an opening or bay of the box 6. The opening is limited by an edge 6a which is in the form of a thin wall (a single or double sheet).

Les platines 2, 3 supportent un pêne 7 au moyen d'une articulation 8, le pêne 7 étant soumis en permanence à l'effet d'un organe de rappel (ressort) 9 qui tend à le rabattre en direction d'une butée 10 formée par le bord (ici 3a) des platines pour former avec cette butée 10 une pince pour le bord 6a de l'ouverture de la caisse 6.The plates 2, 3 support a bolt 7 by means of a hinge 8, the bolt 7 being permanently subjected to the effect of a return member (spring) 9 which tends to fold it in the direction of an abutment 10 formed by the edge (here 3a) of the plates to form with this abutment 10 a clamp for the edge 6a of the cash register opening 6.

Le pivotement du pêne 7 autour de son articulation 8 est limité par les extrémités d'une lumière 11, ménagée dans le pêne 7, qui reçoit un pion 12 solidaire de la platine 3.The pivoting of the bolt 7 around its articulation 8 is limited by the ends of a slot 11, provided in the bolt 7, which receives a pin 12 secured to the plate 3.

Chacun des dispositifs possède une gâchette 13 articulée sur l'une ou l'autre des platines 2, 3 autour d'un axe 14. Il convient, dans ce qui suit, de distinguer les figures 3, 5 et 7, qui concernent la variante de réalisation de la figure 1, des figures 4, 6 et 8 qui concernent la variante de la figure 2.Each of the devices has a trigger 13 articulated on one or the other of the plates 2, 3 around an axis 14. It is appropriate, in what follows, to distinguish the figure 3 , 5 and 7 , which relate to the alternative embodiment of the figure 1 , of the figures 4, 6 and 8 which concern the variant of the figure 2 .

Aux figure 3, 5 et 7, l'organe de manœuvre 4 se compose d'une tringle 15 reliant le pêne 7 à un levier 16 qui est monté sur la platine 3 pour pivoter autour d'un axe 17 et qui est solidaire de l'organe de manœuvre 4, ici en forme d'anneau. Une butée 18 limite le pivotement du levier 16 lors de son rappel par le ressort 9 dont l'effort de rappel s'applique au levier 16 via le pêne 7 et la tringle 15. La gâchette 13 possède un doigt d'entraînement 13a tandis que le pêne 7 possède un bec d'entraînement 7a. La gâchette 13 comporte un bec d'extrémité 13b tandis que le pêne 7 possède un pion d'arrêt 7b pour coopérer, comme dit ci-après, avec le bec 13b. La gâchette 13 est conformée pour présenter un bec 13c qui peut (figures 5 et 7) ou non (figure 3) déborder de la butée 10 selon sa position angulaire autour de l'axe 14.To the picture 3 , 5 and 7 , the operating member 4 consists of a rod 15 connecting the bolt 7 to a lever 16 which is mounted on the plate 3 to pivot about an axis 17 and which is integral with the operating member 4, here ring-shaped. A stop 18 limits the pivoting of the lever 16 when it is returned by the spring 9, the return force of which is applied to the lever 16 via the bolt 7 and the rod 15. The trigger 13 has a drive finger 13a while the bolt 7 has a drive spout 7a. The trigger 13 has an end beak 13b while the bolt 7 has a stop pin 7b to cooperate, as described below, with the beak 13b. The trigger 13 is shaped to have a beak 13c which can ( figure 5 and 7 ) or not ( picture 3 ) overflow from the stop 10 according to its angular position around the axis 14.

La figure 3 représente le dispositif selon l'invention en service, c'est-à-dire le pêne 7 engagé derrière le bord 6a de l'ouverture de la caisse. Ainsi le pêne 7 est-il repoussé en pivotement autour de l'axe 8, en direction de la butée 10 sous l'action du ressort 9, ce pivotement étant stoppé par le pion 12 en appui sur une extrémité de la lumière 11. Cet état du pêne peut exister préalablement à son enclenchement derrière le bord 6a et lors d'un premier rabattement de l'ouvrant contre la caisse, le bord 7c du pêne, ayant un profil adapté, est en contact glissant sur le bord 6a et forme une came permettant un escamotage du pêne 7 permettant qu'il puisse passer derrière le bord 6a. Cet état préalable du dispositif peut exister soit avant le premier rabattement de l'ouvrant, l'organe 4 n'ayant pas été encore manipulé par un opérateur ou, au cours du traitement, à cause d'une mauvaise manipulation du dispositif. Dans tous les cas, un enclenchement du pêne 7 est possible.The picture 3 shows the device according to the invention in use, that is to say the bolt 7 engaged behind the edge 6a of the opening of the box. Thus the bolt 7 is pushed back in pivoting around the axis 8, in the direction of the stop 10 under the action of the spring 9, this pivoting being stopped by the pin 12 resting on one end of the light 11. This state of the bolt may exist prior to its engagement behind the edge 6a and during a first folding of the opening against the body, the edge 7c of the bolt, having a suitable profile, is in sliding contact on the edge 6a and forms a cam allowing retraction of the bolt 7 allowing it to pass behind the edge 6a. This prior state of the device may exist either before the first folding down of the opening, the member 4 having not yet been manipulated by an operator or, during the treatment, because of improper manipulation of the device. In all cases, engagement of the bolt 7 is possible.

La figure 5 montre un état intermédiaire du dispositif obtenu par la manipulation de l'organe 4 dans le sens B pour éloigner l'ouvrant 5 de la caisse 6. Par l'intermédiaire de la tringle 15, le pêne 7 est pivoté autour de l'axe 8 (contre l'effet du ressort 9) pour être situé en dehors de la trajectoire du bord 6a de la caisse 6 par rapport à l'ouvrant 5 lorsque ce dernier est rabattu et éviter le contact frottant du pêne 7 avec l'arête du bord 6a. Le bec 7a du pêne entraîne le doigt 13a porté par la gâchette 13 pour la faire tourner autour de son articulation dans le sens contra-horaire. Le bec d'extrémité 13b de la gâchette 13 se trouve alors en face du pion d'arrêt 7b, alors que le pion 12 se trouve en butée à l'autre extrémité de la lumière 11, limitant ainsi l'amplitude du pivotement du pêne 7. Il faut noter que dans cet état intermédiaire, l'extrémité du bec 13c de la gâchette 13 a passé outre la butée 10 fixe du dispositif.The figure 5 shows an intermediate state of the device obtained by manipulating the member 4 in the direction B to move the leaf 5 away from the body 6. Via the rod 15, the bolt 7 is pivoted around the axis 8 (against the effect of the spring 9) to be located outside the trajectory of the edge 6a of the body 6 with respect to the opening 5 when the latter is folded down and to avoid the rubbing contact of the bolt 7 with the edge of the edge 6a. The beak 7a of the bolt drives the finger 13a carried by the trigger 13 to cause it to rotate around its articulation in the counter-clockwise direction. The end beak 13b of the trigger 13 is then opposite the stop pin 7b, while the pin 12 is in abutment at the other end of the slot 11, thus limiting the amplitude of the pivoting of the bolt 7. It should be noted that in this intermediate state, the end of the beak 13c of the trigger 13 has passed beyond the fixed stop 10 of the device.

La figure 7 est l'illustration de l'état du dispositif lorsque l'opérateur a lâché l'organe de manœuvre 4. La gâchette 13 est laissée à la place prise en figure 5, c'est-à-dire dans son état armé, tandis que le pêne 7 est repoussé par le ressort 9 autour de son articulation 8 jusqu'à ce que le pion 7b vienne buter conte le bec 13c de la gâchette 13 elle-même en butée dans le sens contra-horaire.The figure 7 is the illustration of the state of the device when the operator has released the maneuvering member 4. The trigger 13 is left in the place taken into figure 5 , that is to say in its armed state, while the bolt 7 is pushed back by the spring 9 around its articulation 8 until the pin 7b abuts against the beak 13c of the trigger 13 itself abuts in the counter-clockwise direction.

Comme dans cet état le bec 13c de la gâchette 13 déborde au-delà de la butée fixe 10, c'est lui qui sera contacté en premier par le bord 6a de la caisse quand l'ouvrant sera rabattu. Le bord 6a joue alors un rôle de détente qui fera pivoter la gâchette 13 dans le sens horaire de sorte que le pion 7b échappera au bec 13b et que le pêne 7 sera déplacé en direction de la butée 10 par l'action du ressort 9 et viendra se loger derrière le bord 6a. L'ouvrant 5 sera alors dans son état illustré par la figure 3, immobilisé par rapport à la caisse 6 sans que le pêne 7 ait frotté contre le bord de l'ouverture et ait pu en détacher des particules.As in this state the beak 13c of the trigger 13 overflows beyond the fixed stop 10, it is he who will be contacted first by the edge 6a of the body when the opening is folded down. The edge 6a then plays a trigger role which will cause the trigger 13 to pivot clockwise so that the pin 7b will escape from the spout 13b and the bolt 7 will be moved in the direction of the stop 10 by the action of the spring 9 and will lodge behind edge 6a. The opening 5 will then be in its state illustrated by the picture 3 , immobilized with respect to the body 6 without the bolt 7 having rubbed against the edge of the opening and being able to detach particles therefrom.

Dans la variante représentée aux figures 4, 6 et 8, le pêne 7 est directement solidaire de son organe de manœuvre 4 ici en forme de poignée.In the variant shown in figures 4, 6 and 8 , the bolt 7 is directly attached to its operating member 4 here in the form of a handle.

A la figure 4, à l'instar de la figure 3, le pêne 7 est représenté engagé derrière le bord 6a de l'ouverture ménagée dans la caisse 6. Le pêne 7 est repoussé en pivotement autour de l'axe 8, en direction de la butée 10 sous l'action du ressort 9, ce pivotement étant stoppé par le pion 12 en appui sur une extrémité de la lumière 11. Comme dans la variante précédente, le bord 7c du pêne, a un profil adapté pour être, le cas échéant, en contact glissant sur le bord 6a et qu'un enclenchement du pêne 7 soit toujours possible. Le pêne 7 comporte deux pions 19a et 19b pour coopérer avec la gâchette 13 afin de la faire pivoter autour de son axe d'articulation 14.To the figure 4 , like the picture 3 , the bolt 7 is shown engaged behind the edge 6a of the opening in the body 6. The bolt 7 is pushed back in pivoting around the axis 8, in the direction of the stop 10 under the action of the spring 9, this pivoting being stopped by the pin 12 resting on one end of the slot 11. As in the previous variant, the edge 7c of the bolt has a profile adapted to be, if necessary, in sliding contact on the edge 6a and that engagement of the bolt 7 is always possible. The bolt 7 comprises two pins 19a and 19b to cooperate with the trigger 13 in order to make it pivot around its axis of articulation 14.

La figure 6 montre un état intermédiaire du dispositif obtenu par la manipulation de l'organe 4 (poignée) dans le sens B pour éloigner l'ouvrant 5 de la caisse 6. Par la poignée, le pêne 7 est pivoté autour de l'axe 8 (contre l'effet du ressort 9) pour être situé en dehors de la trajectoire du bord 6a de la caisse 6 par rapport à l'ouvrant 5 lorsque ce dernier est rabattu et éviter le contact frottant du pêne 7 avec l'arête du bord 6a. Le pion 19a du pêne 7 entraîne la gâchette 13 pour la faire tourner autour de son articulation dans le sens horaire. Le bec 13b passe alors au-delà du pion 19b dans le pivotement relatif de la gâchette 13 par rapport au pêne 7. Dans cet état intermédiaire, l'extrémité du bec 13c de la gâchette a passé au-delà de la butée 10 fixe du dispositif.The figure 6 shows an intermediate state of the device obtained by manipulating the member 4 (handle) in the direction B to move the leaf 5 away from the body 6. By the handle, the bolt 7 is pivoted around the axis 8 (against the effect of the spring 9) to be located outside the path of the edge 6a of the body 6 with respect to the opening 5 when the latter is folded down and avoid the rubbing contact of the bolt 7 with the edge of the edge 6a. The pin 19a of the bolt 7 drives the trigger 13 to rotate it around its articulation in the clockwise direction. The beak 13b then passes beyond the pin 19b in the relative pivoting of the trigger 13 with respect to the bolt 7. In this intermediate state, the end of the beak 13c of the trigger has passed beyond the fixed stop 10 of the device.

A la figure 8, comme l'opérateur a lâché la poignée 4, le ressort 9 repousse le pêne 7 en direction de la butée 10. La gâchette 8 reste dans la position prise à la figure 6 tandis que le pion 19b vient en appui sur l'extrémité du bec 13b et l'ensemble gâchette/ pêne se bloque par arcboutement de l'un sur l'autre.To the figure 8 , as the operator has released the handle 4, the spring 9 pushes back the bolt 7 in the direction of the stop 10. The trigger 8 remains in the position taken at the figure 6 while the pin 19b comes to rest on the end of the spout 13b and the trigger/bolt assembly locks by buttressing one on the other.

Comme dans cet état le bec 13c de la gâchette déborde au-delà de la butée fixe 10, c'est lui qui sera contacté en premier par le bord 6a de la caisse quand l'ouvrant sera rabattu. Le bord 6a joue alors un rôle de détente qui fera pivoter la gâchette 13 rompant ainsi l'arc-boutement du pion 19b et du bec 13b de sorte que le pêne 7 sera repoussé en direction de la butée 10 par le ressort 9 et viendra se loger derrière le bord 6a. L'ouvrant 5 sera alors dans son état illustré par la figure 3, immobilisé par rapport à la caisse sans que le pêne 7 ait frotté contre le bord 6a de l'ouverture 6 et ait pu en détacher des particules.As in this state the beak 13c of the trigger overflows beyond the fixed stop 10, it is he who will be contacted first by the edge 6a of the body when the opening is folded down. The edge 6a then plays a role of relaxation which will cause the trigger 13 to pivot thus breaking the buttress of the pin 19b and the beak 13b so that the bolt 7 will be pushed back in the direction of the stop 10 by the spring 9 and will come lodge behind edge 6a. The opening 5 will then be in its state illustrated by the picture 3 , immobilized with respect to the body without the bolt 7 having rubbed against the edge 6a of the opening 6 and being able to detach particles therefrom.
