Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the exterior opening of a motor vehicle door.

  • this invention relates to a device for controlling the exterior opening of a side opening of the vehicle, both very practical to use and presenting an exterior appearance opening up new perspectives for improving the style of motor vehicles, in particular the side style.
  • control device comprises an operating pallet (or gripping handle) which is mounted articulated with respect to a body panel of the opening, inside a casing.
  • This box is generally housed inside a cutout provided for this purpose in the body panel.
  • a current trend is to allow the opening of the opening by means of an electric actuator, itself triggered manually, for example by light pressure, a simple touch or detection of a close presence of a user in a predefined zone of the control device, generally a non-visible inner face of the maneuvering pallet.

  • opening control device allows particularly intuitive operation of the latter because the motorist who wishes to open the opening of the vehicle proceeds in the same pulling movement, first of all with an attempt to electrically unlock the lock mechanism associated with the pallet by manually triggering the electric actuator located in an interior gripping zone of the pallet, then, only in the event of failure to open the leaf, by exerting a pulling force of intensity higher on the handle. It then causes, without changing movement, the opening of the door by exerting on the pallet a traction force oriented upwards which leads to the pivoting of the pallet and the mechanical actuation of the lock.

Consequently, once the handle 22 is positioned in the cavity 48, the shell 52 cannot be removed without crossing the location receiving the handle 22 which is then made impassable by the handle 22.
  • the cavity 48 and the shell 52 are shaped to prevent the positioning of the shell 52 in a transverse direction of interlocking inside the cavity 48 directly in a final destination position of the shell 52.
  • the intermediate mounting position (shown in dotted lines) is a vertically upper position with respect to the final destination position of the shell 52 in the support 26 (mode A) or is an inclined position with respect to the final destination position of the shell 52 (mode B) or a combination of these two positions intermediaries.
  • Such an external opening control device 20 reduces the number of parts to be supplied, handled and mounted.
