- the invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a body and/or such an arrangement.
- a vehicle in particular a motor vehicle, generally comprises a side front door and at least one side rear door on each side of the vehicle.
- the opening in the body for access through the front side door is common with the opening in the body for access through the rear side door.
- such a center pillar in addition to providing mechanical strength to the body, participates in sealing at the rear of the front side door and at the front of the rear side door when the front side doors and rear are closed.
- the object of the invention is to provide a sealing solution between two adjacent front and rear side doors remedying the above drawbacks.
- the invention proposes an effective inter-door sealing solution regardless of the order in which the doors are closed.
- the invention relates to an arrangement for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- the angle formed between the first and second directions can be between 35 degrees and 65 degrees, or even between 45 degrees and 55 degrees, in particular of the order of 50 degrees.
- An angle can be formed between the first direction and the transverse direction of such a vehicle, in particular an angle comprised between 2 degrees and 6 degrees, in particular of the order of 4 degrees.
- An angle can be formed between the second direction and the transverse direction of such a vehicle, in particular an angle comprised between 50 degrees and 60 degrees, in particular of the order of 55 degrees.
- the length of the section of the contact surface along a transverse and longitudinal plane can be between 5 mm and 35 mm, or even between 15 mm and 25 mm, in particular of the order of 20 mm.
- the second edge of the second opening may comprise a second gasket intended to provide sealing between the first opening and the second opening, in particular by being crushed at the level of the first edge of the first opening in the closed positions of the first and second opening.
- the invention also relates to a vehicle body, in particular a motor vehicle, comprising an arrangement as defined previously.
- the box may comprise an integral opening extending or extending substantially from the pivot axis of the first leaf up to the level, or substantially at the level, of the second edge of the second leaf in the open position of the second leaf so as to obtain maximum access space within the passenger compartment, or maximum exit space from the passenger compartment.

- Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of a vehicle body according to one embodiment.
- the direction in which a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, moves in a straight line is defined as being the longitudinal direction X.
- the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction located in a plane parallel to the ground, is called the transverse direction Y
- the third direction, perpendicular to the other two, is called the vertical direction Z.
- a direct reference XYZ is used in which X is the longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, therefore directed towards the rear, Y is the transverse direction pointing to the right and Z is the vertical direction pointing up.
- the forward direction corresponds to the direction in which the vehicle usually moves in the longitudinal direction and is opposite to the reverse direction.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a vehicle, preferably a motor vehicle 1, according to one embodiment.
- the vehicle 1 comprises a body or body structure 3.
- FIG. 2 illustrates schematically the body 3, according to one embodiment.

- the box 3 comprises at least one integral opening 30 provided in one side of the box 4.
- the box 3 includes two openings 30, 30' (illustrated in dotted lines in FIG. 2) each provided on one side of the box 4, 4 ' correspondent.
- Arrangement 2 comprises a first opening 10.
- the first opening 10 opens and closes by pivoting.
- the first opening pivots around a pivot axis A, for example vertical or substantially vertical, to pass from a closed position PF to an open position PO and vice versa.
- the first opening 10 is a front side door.
- the arrangement 2 comprises a second opening 20.
- the second opening 20 slides, or slides substantially, for example along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle or substantially along this direction.
- the second opening 20 passes from a closed position PF to an open position PO and vice versa by translating or by substantially translating.
- the second opening 20 is a rear side door opening rearward. Note that at the start of opening, the second opening 20 moves so as to move away, in particular in the transverse direction Y towards the outside 8, on the side of the body 4 before moving backwards. In the same way, at the end of closing, the second opening 20 moves so as to move closer to the passenger compartment 9, in particular in the transverse direction Y. opening 20 with respect to the body side 4 is made in a second direction D2. As illustrated in Figure 1, the first opening 10 and the second opening 20 in closed positions PF are adjacent to each other.
- the first opening includes a first edge 11, preferably vertical or substantially vertical.
- the first edge 11 is preferably at the rear of the first opening 10.
- the first edge 11 comprises a first rebate 12.
- the second opening 20 comprises a second edge 21, preferably vertical or substantially vertical.
- the second edge 21 is preferably at the front of the second sash 20.
- the second edge 21 comprises a first seal 22.
- the first seal 22 in the uncompressed state has a closed section in the general shape of a circular ring or in the general shape of an ellipse.
- the first seal 22 is fitted onto a flattened portion 26 extending vertically and longitudinally, or substantially vertically and longitudinally, at the level of the second edge 21 of the second opening 20.
- the closed section in the uncompressed state of the first joint 22 has a general shape of a square, a rectangle or a triangle.
- the first seal 22 is not a lip seal(s).
- the first edge 11 of the first opening 10 and the second edge 21 of the second opening 20 are close, even in contact or substantially in contact, one the other.
- the openings 10, 20 touch or touch each other substantially along the first and second edges 11, 21.
- substantially touch each other means that there is a gap between the openings of a few millimeters, for example between 2 mm and 10 mm, in such a way that the openings are arranged flush, thus creating a continuity of body line.
- the first rebate 12 includes a contact surface 13 (in particular illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 3). More specifically, the contact surface 13 is intended to come into contact with the first seal 22 arranged on the second edge 21, in the closed positions PF or substantially closed positions of the first and second openings 10, 20.
- the integral opening 30 extends along the longitudinal direction X, or extends substantially, from the pivot axis A of the first opening 10 to the level, or substantially to the level, of the second edge 21 of the second opening 20 in the open position PO of the second opening.
- the second edge 21 is at the same level, or substantially at the same level in the longitudinal direction, as a front edge 6 of a rear part 5 on the side of body 4.
- Such an opening 30 offers maximum access space within the passenger compartment, or exit space from the passenger compartment.
- the body 3 of the vehicle does not include a middle pillar, or pillar B, preferably both on the right side and on the left side of the body 3.
- the start of opening and the end of closing of the first opening 10 generates a movement of the first edge 11 in a first direction D1, or substantially in the first direction D1, illustrated in Figures 2 and 3.
- the start of opening and the end of closing the second opening 20 generates a movement of the second edge 21 in the second direction D2 or substantially in the second direction D2.
- an angle a extends between the first and second directions D1, D2 or, preferably, between two planes P1, P2.
- the P1 plan includes direction D1 and extends vertically.
- the plane P2 includes the direction D2 and extends vertically.
- the first edge follows a first direction in one direction when opening and in an opposite direction when closing.
- the beginning of opening and the end of closing of the first sash confers a movement of the contact surface of the first edge of the first sash in a first direction.
- the beginning of opening and the end of closing of the second sash confers a movement of the first joint of the second edge of the second sash in a second direction.
- the first and second directions thus form different paths followed respectively by the first and second edges of the openings.
- the contact surface 13 of the first rebate 12 in the closed position PF of the first opening 10 extends in a main plane P, or substantially in a main plane P.
- the main plane P comprises , or substantially comprises the bisector B of the angle a formed between the first and second directions D1, D2 or between the planes P1, P2.
- the angle a is between 35 degrees and 65 degrees, or even between 45 degrees and 55 degrees.
- the angle a is of the order of 50 degrees, for example 51 degrees or substantially 51 degrees, i.e. 25.5 degrees on either side of the bisector B.
- an angle [3 is further formed between the first direction D1 and the transverse direction Y.
- the angle P is between 2 degrees and 6 degrees, for example it is 4 degrees or approximately 4 degrees.
- an angle 0 is formed between the second direction D2 and the transverse direction Y.
- the angle 0 is between 50 degrees and 60 degrees, for example it is 55 degrees or substantially 55 degrees. In this case, it follows that the bisector B has an angle of the order of 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction X.
- the length L of the section of the contact surface 13 along a transverse and longitudinal plane is between 5 mm and 35 mm, or even between 15 mm and 25 mm, for example of the order of 20 mm.
- the contact surface 13 is intended to come into contact with the first seal 22 when the openings 10, 20 are in the closed positions PF.
- the second edge 21 of the second opening 20 comprises a second seal 23.
- the second seal 23 is intended to ensure sealing between the first opening 10 and the second opening 20, for example in s crushing at the level of the first edge 11 of the first opening 10 in the closed positions PF of the first and second openings 10, 20.
- the first opening comprises a projecting fold 14 extending along the first edge towards the rear for example.
- the second seal 23 then comes crashing down on a face 15 oriented towards the passenger compartment 9 of the fold 14 in the closed position PF of the openings.
- the second seal 23 is a seal comprising at least one lip 24.
- this second seal is fixed at the rebate of the second edge 21 via one or more clips 25.
- first and second seals 22, 23 illustrated in Figure 3 are shown "not crushed” although the doors 10, 20 are in closed positions.
- the solution ensures optimal watertightness between side doors, whatever the closing order of the doors, despite the absence of a middle pillar and the fact that each door is independent of the other door in opening and closing .
- the solution is based on the creation of the support surface 13 comprising the bisector B of the two trajectories or directions D1, D2, respectively of the front swing door 10 and the sliding rear door 20 at the start of opening and in end of closing.
- This orientation of the support surface 13 on the opening on which the inter-door seal 22 is crushed during the closing of the openings ensures suitable sealing while limiting friction between the seal 22 and the surface. support 13.
- the seal 22 in closed position PF doors takes the same position or substantially the same position, including the same form of compression, regardless of the order of closure of the opening.
- the tightness is not affected at the level of the junction of the two doors.
- the seal thanks to the contact surface oriented in a plane containing the bisector of the angle formed between the directions of movement at the start of opening or at the end of closing of the doors, the seal always lies down in the same way, without subject to significant sliding or friction.
- the circular closed section, or in the form of an ellipse for example, of the first seal 22 helps to greatly limit friction.
- the attack on the seal takes place in the same way regardless of the closing order, which makes it possible to avoid efforts.
- the first seal 22 is placed in a similar manner regardless of the order in which the openings are closed, which ensures reliable and identical sealing throughout the opening/closing cycles. This results in an increased longevity for the seal(s) and consequently a longer longevity for the sealing function.
- seal wear is reduced.
- the number of endurance cycles of the seals of such an arrangement can reach that of the seals of a body fitted with a center pillar between the front and rear doors.
- the first sash has been described as a pivoting front side door
- the first sash may be a front side door that slides forward to open.
- the second opening is preferably a hinged rear side door around a pivot axis arranged at the front edge of the rear part of the body side (configuration not shown).
- the contact surface is then arranged on the second opening, the first seal then being fixed on the first opening.
- the contact surface for the first seal is provided on the leaf opening and closing by pivoting.
- the seal or seals are for their part preferably fixed to the opening opening by sliding or translation.
- the support surface 13 comes opposite the first seal or main inter-door seal 22 (doors closed) being oriented along the bisector of the trajectories of the two openings.
- the orientation of the bisector B is of the order of 60 degrees, or of the order of 65 degrees, with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the vehicle.
- a secondary seal 32 exterior side 8, fixed to the body 3 in the upper part of the openings and above the main seal 31, ensuring in particular an acoustic attenuation role (air noise) and creating a first barrier to prevent too much water from entering between the body 3 and the openings in the event of rain and/or vehicle washes;
- the first seal 22 fixed on the passenger compartment side 9 on the sliding rear door, also called the main inter-door seal with regard to its function of sealing against water and/or air and/or dust between the front door and rear door;
- this second seal 23 or secondary sealing line possibly consisting of one or more seals, in particular by being discontinuous, in particular constituting an acoustic barrier by filling the clearance between doors on the outside 8, and/or providing protection against attack by a water jet on the first inter-door seal 22;
- the solution according to the invention therefore achieves the desired objective of sealing the inter-side doors of a vehicle body without a center pillar and has the following advantages:
