Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des systèmes d'ouverture d'un ouvrant d'un véhicule automobile, et plus particulièrement, une commande d'ouverture de tel système d'ouverture.The present invention relates to the field of opening systems for an opening of a motor vehicle, and more particularly, to an opening control for such an opening system.

Communément, les véhicules automobiles sont pourvus d'ouvrants permettant aux utilisateurs d'un véhicule automobile d'entrer ou de sortir d'un habitacle du véhicule automobile. De tels ouvrants comprennent d'une part, une commande d'ouverture avec laquelle l'utilisateur peut interagir et d'autre part, un dispositif d'ouverture apte à prendre une position dans laquelle l'ouvrant est bloqué et une autre position dans laquelle l'ouvrant est débloqué. Le dispositif d'ouverture est relié à la commande d'ouverture par une tringle ou un câble ; l'interaction de l'utilisateur sur la commande d'ouverture génère un mouvement transmis, par le câble ou la tringle, jusqu'au dispositif d'ouverture qui passe de sa position bloquée à sa position débloquée, libérant ainsi l'ouvrant.Commonly, motor vehicles are provided with openings allowing users of a motor vehicle to enter or exit a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. Such openings comprise on the one hand, an opening control with which the user can interact and on the other hand, an opening device capable of taking a position in which the opening is blocked and another position in which the sash is unlocked. The opening device is connected to the opening control by a rod or a cable; the user's interaction on the opening control generates a movement transmitted, by the cable or the rod, to the opening device which passes from its blocked position to its unlocked position, thus releasing the opening.

La commande d'ouverture comprend une poignée d'actionnement avec laquelle l'utilisateur interagit, un support permettant de fixer la commande d'ouverture à un élément de l'ouvrant tel qu'un panneau en tôle, et un cache, du type d'un faux verrou par exemple, ou un verrou logé dans le support et participant à maintenir la poignée d'actionnement solidaire du support. Une bague de blocage, disposée autour du cache ou du verrou, est prévu pour maintenir le cache ou le verrou dans le logement du support. Cette bague de blocage est apte à prendre une position bloquée et une position débloquée, dans sa position bloquée le cache ou le verrou est maintenu dans le logement du support tandis que dans sa position débloquée, le cache ou le verrou peut se libérer du logement, et plus largement de la commande d'ouverture.The opening control comprises an actuation handle with which the user interacts, a support allowing the opening control to be fixed to an element of the opening such as a sheet metal panel, and a cover, of the type a false lock for example, or a lock housed in the support and helping to keep the actuation handle attached to the support. A locking ring, arranged around the cover or the lock, is provided to hold the cover or the lock in the support housing. This locking ring is able to take a blocked position and an unlocked position, in its blocked position the cover or the lock is held in the housing of the support while in its unlocked position, the cover or the lock can be released from the housing, and more broadly the opening command.

Les commandes d'ouverture connus de l'état de la technique peuvent présenter des défauts de qualité. Les manipulations répétées de la poignée d'actionnement et/ou du verrou, ainsi que les vibrations du véhicule peuvent conduire à la perte de pièces et donc à la mise en défaut du système d'ouverture de l'ouvrant.Opening controls known from the state of the art may have quality defects. Repeated handling of the operating handle and/or the lock, as well as vehicle vibrations, can lead to the loss of parts and therefore to malfunction of the sash opening system.

Par ailleurs, le passage de la bague de blocage de sa position débloquée, dans laquelle le cache ou verrou peut être monté sur la commande d'ouverture de sorte que la bague de blocage puisse être positionnée autour du cache ou du verrou, à sa position bloquée est assuré par un opérateur faisant, manuellement, passer la bague de blocage de sa position débloquée à sa position bloquée. Dans certaines situations, la bague de blocage n'est pas parfaitement placée dans sa position bloquée par l'opérateur, un tel aléa pouvant entraîner une désolidarisation du cache ou du verrou du support de la commande d'ouverture.Furthermore, the passage of the locking ring from its unlocked position, in which the cover or lock can be mounted on the opening control so that the locking ring can be positioned around the cover or lock, in its position blocked is ensured by an operator manually moving the locking ring from its position unlocked in its locked position. In certain situations, the locking ring is not perfectly placed in its locked position by the operator, such a hazard could result in the cover or the lock becoming separated from the opening control support.

La présente invention se propose de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur, et notamment de proposer un commande d'ouverture permettant d'assurer à l'opérateur que la bague de blocage est dans sa position bloquée et maintenue dans ladite position.The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, and in particular to propose an opening control making it possible to assure the operator that the locking ring is in its locked position and maintained in said position.

Dans ce contexte, la présente invention a pour principal objet une commande d'ouverture pour ouvrant d'un véhicule automobile destinée à activer une serrure de l'ouvrant, la commande d'ouverture comprenant au moins un support destiné à relier la commande d'ouverture à l'ouvrant, un verrou ou un cache et une bague de blocage du verrou ou du cache par rapport au support, le support comprenant une ouverture centrée sur un axe principal et logeant le verrou ou le cache, la bague de blocage étant disposée autour du verrou ou du cache en étant mobile en rotation autour de l'axe principal entre une position débloquée et une position bloquée du verrou ou du cache, caractérisée en ce que la commande d'ouverture comprend un organe de verrouillage destiné à maintenir la bague de blocage dans sa position bloquée. Il convient de noter que la serrure de l'ouvrant et la commande d'ouverture sont deux éléments d'un système de fermeture de l'ouvrant distincts. La commande d'ouverture permettant de générer un mouvement sur un câble ou une tringle relié à la serrure. Il convient également de noter que l'organe de verrouillage est un élément rapporté permettant d'assurer à l'opérateur en charge d'assembler la commande d'ouverture que la bague de blocage est dans sa position bloquée. Un tel organe de verrouillage formant un élément rapporté peut avantageusement équiper des commandes d'ouvertures préexistantes comportant une bague de blocage.In this context, the main object of the present invention is an opening control for the opening of a motor vehicle intended to activate a lock of the opening, the opening control comprising at least one support intended to connect the opening control. opening to the sash, a lock or a cover and a locking ring of the lock or the cover relative to the support, the support comprising an opening centered on a main axis and housing the lock or the cover, the locking ring being arranged around the lock or cover while being movable in rotation around the main axis between an unlocked position and a blocked position of the lock or cover, characterized in that the opening control comprises a locking member intended to hold the ring locking device in its locked position. It should be noted that the sash lock and the opening control are two separate elements of a sash closing system. The opening command makes it possible to generate a movement on a cable or a rod connected to the lock. It should also be noted that the locking member is an attached element making it possible to assure the operator responsible for assembling the opening control that the locking ring is in its locked position. Such a locking member forming an attached element can advantageously equip pre-existing opening controls comprising a locking ring.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la bague de blocage comprend un poussoir apte à prendre une première position dans laquelle la bague de blocage est dans sa position débloquée et une deuxième position dans laquelle la bague de blocage est dans sa position bloquée, l'organe de verrouillage comprenant une butée interdisant le retour du poussoir de sa deuxième position à sa première position. La bague de blocage est formée d'un anneau et du poussoir, le poussoir faisant saillie depuis l'anneau qui est mobile en rotation autour de l'axe principal. On comprend que la première positon et la deuxième position du poussoir sont des positions angulaires par rapport à l'axe principal.According to one characteristic of the invention, the locking ring comprises a pusher capable of taking a first position in which the locking ring is in its unlocked position and a second position in which the locking ring is in its blocked position, the locking member comprising a stop preventing the return of the pusher from its second position to its first position. The locking ring is formed of a ring and the pusher, the pusher projecting from the ring which is movable in rotation around the main axis. We understand that the first position and the second position of the pusher are angular positions relative to the main axis.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la butée de l'organe de verrouillage s'étend majoritairement selon une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe principal. Cette butée présente une forme parallélépipédique s'étendant depuis le corps de l'organe de verrouillage dans une direction parallèle à l'axe principal.According to one characteristic of the invention, the stop of the locking member extends mainly in a direction substantially parallel to the main axis. This stop has a parallelepiped shape extending from the body of the locking member in a direction parallel to the main axis.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la bague de blocage interdit l'assemblage de l'organe de verrouillage à la commande d'ouverture lorsque le poussoir de la bague de blocage est dans sa première position. Cette interdiction de l'assemblage de l'organe de verrouillage à la commande d'ouverture est générée par le contact entre la butée et le poussoir lorsque ce dernier est dans sa première position. On comprend que l'organe de verrouillage ne peut être assemblé à la commande d'ouverture uniquement lorsque le poussoir est dans sa deuxième position et que la bague de blocage est dans sa position bloquée. Une telle caractéristique permet à l'opérateur d'être certain que la bague de blocage est bien dans sa position bloquée.According to one characteristic of the invention, the locking ring prevents the assembly of the locking member to the opening control when the pusher of the locking ring is in its first position. This prohibition of the assembly of the locking member to the opening control is generated by the contact between the stop and the pusher when the latter is in its first position. It is understood that the locking member can only be assembled with the opening control when the pusher is in its second position and the locking ring is in its blocked position. Such a characteristic allows the operator to be certain that the locking ring is indeed in its locked position.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'organe de verrouillage comprend une languette permettant de maintenir l'organe de verrouillage au support. Le maintien de l'organe de verrouillage au support s'opère au moyen de la languette.According to one characteristic of the invention, the locking member comprises a tongue making it possible to hold the locking member to the support. The locking member is held to the support by means of the tab.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la languette comprend au moins un chanfrein et un épaulement permettant de maintenir l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au support. Ce maintien de l'organe de verrouillage au support est généré selon une direction parallèle à l'axe principal par la coopération d'un épaulement prévu sur le support et d'un épaulement prévu sur la languette. Le chanfrein permettant d'écarter lors de l'assemblage de l'organe de verrouillage au support lesdits épaulements l'un de l'autre. Puis, par un rappel élastique, l'épaulement ménagé sur le support forme une butée contre laquelle l'épaulement de la languette vient en contact ; empêchant le retrait de l'organe de verrouillage par un mouvement de translation parallèle à l'axe principal.According to one characteristic of the invention, the tongue comprises at least one chamfer and a shoulder making it possible to maintain the locking member relative to the support. This holding of the locking member to the support is generated in a direction parallel to the main axis by the cooperation of a shoulder provided on the support and a shoulder provided on the tongue. The chamfer makes it possible to separate said shoulders from each other when assembling the locking member to the support. Then, by an elastic return, the shoulder provided on the support forms a stop against which the shoulder of the tongue comes into contact; preventing the removal of the locking member by a translation movement parallel to the main axis.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la languette comprend un moyen de séparation de l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au support. Ce moyen de séparation permet de déformer la languette de sorte à dégager les épaulements l'un de l'autre.According to one characteristic of the invention, the tongue comprises a means of separating the locking member from the support. This separation means makes it possible to deform the tongue so as to release the shoulders from one another.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la commande d'ouverture comprend un moyen de centrage de l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au verrou ou au cache. Le moyen de centrage est destiné à centrer l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au verrou ou au cache et plus largement au support de sorte que la butée de l'organe de verrouillage soit en regard du poussoir de la bague de blocage. Ce centrage par le moyen de centrage est réalisé par la coopération d'un cylindre formant une portion tubulaire et d'un logement ménagé dans le cache, la portion tubulaire pénétrant dans le logement. Ce centrage peut également être réalisé par la coopération entre un évidement de centrage ménagé dans l'organe de verrouillage dans lequel vient se loger le verrou.According to one characteristic of the invention, the opening control comprises a means for centering the locking member relative to the lock or the cover. Way to centering is intended to center the locking member relative to the lock or the cover and more broadly to the support so that the stop of the locking member faces the pusher of the locking ring. This centering by the centering means is achieved by the cooperation of a cylinder forming a tubular portion and a housing provided in the cover, the tubular portion penetrating into the housing. This centering can also be achieved by cooperation between a centering recess provided in the locking member in which the lock is housed.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de centrage comprend un organe anti-rotation limitant la rotation de l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au cache ou au verrou. L'organe anti-rotation est formé de creux ménagés sur la portion tubulaire de l'organe de verrouillage et d'une croix formée dans le logement du cache, la croix étant logée dans les creux de la portion tubulaire limitant la rotation de l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au cache. L'organe anti-rotation peut également être formé par des cavités prévues dans la paroi périphérique de l'organe de verrouillage délimitant l'évidement de centrage coopérant avec des éléments du verrou pour limiter la rotation de l'organe de verrouillage par rapport au verrou.According to one characteristic of the invention, the centering means comprises an anti-rotation member limiting the rotation of the locking member relative to the cover or the lock. The anti-rotation member is formed of recesses formed on the tubular portion of the locking member and of a cross formed in the housing of the cover, the cross being housed in the recesses of the tubular portion limiting the rotation of the locking member relative to the cover. The anti-rotation member can also be formed by cavities provided in the peripheral wall of the locking member delimiting the centering recess cooperating with elements of the lock to limit the rotation of the locking member relative to the lock .

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de centrage est formé par un élément saillant de l'organe de verrouillage destiné à se loger dans un logement ménagé dans le cache autour de l'axe principale.According to one characteristic of the invention, the centering means is formed by a projecting element of the locking member intended to be housed in a housing provided in the cover around the main axis.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'organe de verrouillage présente une symétrie par rapport à un plan de symétrie passant au moins par la languette et la butée.According to a characteristic of the invention, the locking member has symmetry with respect to a plane of symmetry passing at least through the tongue and the stop.

La présente invention porte également sur un ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant une commande d'ouverture conforme à l'une quelconque des caractéristiques susmentionnées.The present invention also relates to a motor vehicle opening comprising an opening control conforming to any of the aforementioned characteristics.

It will be possible in particular to imagine variants of the invention comprising only a selection of characteristics described subsequently in isolation from the other characteristics described, if this selection of characteristics is sufficient to confer a technical advantage or to differentiate the invention from to the state of the art.

Sur les figures, les éléments communs à plusieurs figures conservent la même référence.In the figures, elements common to several figures retain the same reference.

Dans la description qui va suivre, on se référera à une orientation fonction des axes Longitudinaux, Verticaux et Transversaux tels qu'ils sont définis arbitrairement par le trièdre L, V, T représenté par les figures 1 à 7. Le choix des appellations de ces axes n'est pas limitatif de l'orientation que peut prendre la commande d'ouverture dans son application à un véhicule automobile.In the description which follows, we will refer to an orientation function of the Longitudinal, Vertical and Transverse axes as they are defined arbitrarily by the trihedron L, V, T represented by the figures 1 to 7 . The choice of the names of these axes does not limit the orientation that the opening command can take in its application to a motor vehicle.

La figure 1 illustre très schématiquement un véhicule automobile 1 équipé d'un ouvrant 2 et d'un système de fermeture 3 de l'ouvrant 2 selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention. L'ouvrant 2 est un élément du véhicule automobile 1 apte à s'ouvrir et se fermer pour permettre, par exemple, à un utilisateur d'entrer ou de sortir dans l'habitacle du véhicule automobile 1 et/ou d'accéder à un espace de stockage du véhicule automobile 1. Plus précisément, l'ouvrant 2 est formé d'un panneau 21 articulé en rotation par rapport à une caisse du véhicule automobile 1, par exemple, par des charnières 22.There figure 1 very schematically illustrates a motor vehicle 1 equipped with an opening 2 and a closing system 3 of the opening 2 according to one embodiment of the invention. The opening 2 is an element of the motor vehicle 1 capable of opening and closing to allow, for example, a user to enter or exit the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle 1 and/or to access a storage space of the motor vehicle 1. More precisely, the opening 2 is formed of a panel 21 articulated in rotation relative to a body of the motor vehicle 1, for example, by hinges 22.

À cette fin, le système de fermeture 3 de l'ouvrant 2 comprend une commande d'ouverture 4 de l'ouvrant 2 reliée à une serrure 5 par une tringle ou un câble 6. La serrure 5 comprend, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, un pêne coopérant avec une gâche, solidaire de la caisse ou d'un autre ouvrant du véhicule automobile 1, pour bloquer l'ouvrant 2 en position fermée lorsque le pêne est logé dans la gâche.To this end, the closing system 3 of the opening 2 comprises an opening control 4 of the opening 2 connected to a lock 5 by a rod or a cable 6. The lock 5 comprises, in the embodiment shown , a bolt cooperating with a striker, integral with the body or another opening of the motor vehicle 1, to block the opening 2 in the closed position when the bolt is housed in the striker.

La commande d'ouverture 4 comprend une poignée d'actionnement 41 et un cache 42 participant à maintenir la poignée d'actionnement 41 solidaire de la commande d'ouverture 4. La poignée d'actionnement 41 peut être actionnée par l'utilisateur du véhicule automobile 1 pour transmettre un mouvement à la tringle ou au câble 6 afin de faire passer la serrure 5 de sa position fermée à une position ouverte permettant à l'utilisateur d'ouvrir l'ouvrant 2 du véhicule automobile 1.The opening control 4 comprises an actuation handle 41 and a cover 42 helping to keep the actuation handle 41 secured to the opening control 4. The actuation handle 41 can be actuated by the user of the vehicle automobile 1 to transmit a movement to the rod or to the cable 6 in order to move the lock 5 from its closed position to an open position allowing the user to open the opening 2 of the motor vehicle 1.

Il convient de noter que dans le mode de réalisation représenté par la figure 1, la commande d'ouverture 4 pourrait comprendre, en lieu et place du cache 42, un verrou 43, notamment visible sur la figure 3, permettant d'autoriser ou d'interdire le changement de position de la serrure 5. Il convient également de noter que la commande d'ouverture 4 et la serrure 5, bien que faisant partie du même système de fermeture 3 permettant de bloquer ou de débloquer l'ouvrant 2, sont deux équipements distincts de l'ouvrant 2.It should be noted that in the embodiment represented by the figure 1 , the opening command 4 could include, instead of the cover 42, a lock 43, in particular visible on the Figure 3 , making it possible to authorize or prohibit the change of position of the lock 5. It should also be noted that the opening control 4 and the lock 5, although forming part of the same closing system 3 making it possible to block or unlock the opening 2, are two separate pieces of equipment for the opening 2.

Les figures 2 et 3 illustrent la commande d'ouverture 4 selon deux modes de réalisation de l'invention. Plus précisément, la figure 2 illustre un mode de réalisation dans lequel la commande d'ouverture 4 comprend un cache 42, et la figure 3 illustre un mode de réalisation dans lequel la commande d'ouverture 4 comprend un verrou 43.THE figures 2 And 3 illustrate the opening control 4 according to two embodiments of the invention. More precisely, the figure 2 illustrates an embodiment in which the opening control 4 comprises a cover 42, and the Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment in which the opening control 4 comprises a lock 43.

La commande d'ouverture 4 comprend un support 44 destiné à relier la commande d'ouverture 4 au panneau 21 de l'ouvrant 2. Plus précisément, le support 44 est un élément fixé au panneau 21 de l'ouvrant 2 et formé, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, par un matériau plastique dans lequel des moyens de liaison du support 44 au panneau 21 sont prévus. Ces moyens peuvent, par exemple, être des orifices taraudés destinés à coopérer avec des éléments de fixation tels que des vis et/ou des rivets.The opening control 4 comprises a support 44 intended to connect the opening control 4 to the panel 21 of the opening 2. More precisely, the support 44 is an element fixed to the panel 21 of the opening 2 and formed, in the embodiment represented, by a plastic material in which means for connecting the support 44 to the panel 21 are provided. These means can, for example, be threaded holes intended to cooperate with fixing elements such as screws and/or rivets.

En outre, le support 44 permet de maintenir la poignée d'actionnement 41 et le cache 42 ou le verrou 43 solidaire de l'ouvrant 2. Ce support 44 comprend une ouverture 441 centrée sur un axe principal 100, sensiblement parallèle à l'axe L, et logeant le cache 42, tel que visible sur la figure 2, ou le verrou 43, tel que visible sur la figure 3. On comprend que le support 44 assure le maintien du cache 42 ou du verrou 43 et plus largement de la poignée d'actionnement 41 à l'ouvrant 2.In addition, the support 44 makes it possible to hold the actuation handle 41 and the cover 42 or the lock 43 secured to the opening 2. This support 44 includes an opening 441 centered on a main axis 100, substantially parallel to the axis L, and housing the cover 42, as visible on the figure 2 , or the lock 43, as visible on the Figure 3 . We understand that the support 44 ensures the maintenance of the cover 42 or the lock 43 and more generally of the actuation handle 41 to the opening 2.

Le verrou 43, tel que visible sur la figure 3, est logé dans l'ouverture 441 et est destiné à coopérer par une extrémité longitudinale, opposé à la poignée d'actionnement 41 selon l'axe principal 100, avec une batteuse, ici non représenté, formant un levier destiné à actionner la tringle ou le câble 6.The lock 43, as visible on the Figure 3 , is housed in the opening 441 and is intended to cooperate via a longitudinal end, opposite the actuation handle 41 along the main axis 100, with a thresher, here not shown, forming a lever intended to actuate the rod or cable 6.

Le cache 42, tel que visible sur la figure 2, est logé dans l'ouverture 441 du support 44 et comprend un logement 421 ouvert par une extrémité longitudinale du cache 42 selon l'axe principal 100, opposée à la poignée d'actionnement 41. Ce logement 421 est centré sur l'axe principal 100.The cache 42, as visible on the figure 2 , is housed in the opening 441 of the support 44 and comprises a housing 421 opened by a longitudinal end of the cover 42 along the main axis 100, opposite the actuation handle 41. This housing 421 is centered on the main axis 100.

La commande d'ouverture 4 comprend une bague de blocage 45 du cache 42 ou du verrou 43 par rapport au support 44. Cette bague de blocage 45 est disposée autour du cache 42 ou du verrou 43 et est mobile en rotation autour de l'axe principal 100 entre une position débloquée et une position bloquée du cache 42 ou du verrou 43. On comprend que le cache 42 ou le verrou 43 est logé d'une part, dans l'ouverture 441 du support 44 et d'autre part, dans un anneau 451 de la bague de blocage 45. Cet anneau 451 de la bague de blocage 45 présente un diamètre sensiblement égale au diamètre de l'ouverture 441. On comprend que l'anneau 451 délimitant l'orifice dans lequel est logé le cache 42 ou le verrou 43 ne permet pas à l'anneau 451 de passer à travers l'ouverture 441.The opening control 4 comprises a locking ring 45 of the cover 42 or the lock 43 relative to the support 44. This locking ring 45 is arranged around the cover 42 or the lock 43 and is movable in rotation around the axis main 100 between an unlocked position and a blocked position of the cover 42 or the lock 43. It is understood that the cover 42 or the lock 43 is housed on the one hand, in the opening 441 of the support 44 and on the other hand, in a ring 451 of the locking ring 45. This ring 451 of the locking ring 45 has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the opening 441. It is understood that the ring 451 delimits the orifice in which the cover 42 is housed or the lock 43 does not allow the ring 451 to pass through the opening 441.

De surcroît, l'anneau 451 de la bague de blocage 45 est mobile en rotation entre une position débloquée dans laquelle le cache 42 ou le verrou 43 peut être insérée ou retirée de la bague de blocage 45 par un mouvement de translation parallèle à l'axe principal 100, et une position bloquée dans laquelle l'anneau 451 est solidaire du cache 42 ou du verrou 43.In addition, the ring 451 of the locking ring 45 is movable in rotation between an unlocked position in which the cover 42 or the lock 43 can be inserted or removed from the locking ring 45 by a translation movement parallel to the main axis 100, and a blocked position in which the ring 451 is secured to the cover 42 or the lock 43.

La bague de blocage 45 comprend également un poussoir 452 s'étendant depuis l'anneau 451. Ce poussoir 452 est mobile en rotation entre une première position dans laquelle la bague de blocage 45 est dans sa position débloquée et une deuxième position dans laquelle la bague de blocage 45 est dans sa position débloquée. Plus précisément, la première position et la deuxième position du poussoir 452 sont deux positions angulaires distinctes par rapport à l'axe principal 100. On comprend que l'opérateur chargé d'assembler la commande d'ouverture 4 peut, avantageusement, moduler la position bloquée ou débloquée de la bague de blocage 45 en modifiant la position angulaire du poussoir 452 entre sa première position et sa deuxième position.The locking ring 45 also comprises a pusher 452 extending from the ring 451. This pusher 452 is movable in rotation between a first position in which the locking ring 45 is in its unlocked position and a second position in which the ring blocking 45 is in its unlocked position. More precisely, the first position and the second position of the pusher 452 are two positions distinct angular positions relative to the main axis 100. It is understood that the operator responsible for assembling the opening control 4 can, advantageously, modulate the blocked or unlocked position of the locking ring 45 by modifying the angular position of the pusher 452 between its first position and its second position.

La commande d'ouverture 4 comprend, selon l'invention, un organe de verrouillage 7 destiné à maintenir la bague de blocage 45 dans sa positon bloquée. Cet organe de verrouillage 7, visible selon deux modes de réalisation différents sur les figures 4 et 6, comprend un moyen de centrage 71 de l'organe de verrouillage 7 par rapport au cache 42 ou au verrou 43, une butée 72 et une languette 73. Plus précisément l'organe de verrouillage 7 comprend un corps 74 s'étendant selon une direction d'allongement principal verticale, c'est-à-dire parallèlement à l'axe V, depuis lequel la butée 72 et la languette 73 font saillies dans une même direction, sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'allongement principal verticale du corps 74, c'est-à-dire selon une direction parallèle à l'axe L. Cette direction dans laquelle s'étendent la butée 72 et la languette 73 est, lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé à la commande d'ouverture 4, sensiblement parallèle à l'axe principal 100 du support 44.The opening control 4 comprises, according to the invention, a locking member 7 intended to maintain the blocking ring 45 in its locked position. This locking member 7, visible according to two different embodiments on the figures 4 And 6 , comprises a centering means 71 of the locking member 7 relative to the cover 42 or the lock 43, a stop 72 and a tongue 73. More precisely, the locking member 7 comprises a body 74 extending in one direction main vertical elongation, that is to say parallel to the axis V, from which the stop 72 and the tongue 73 project in the same direction, substantially perpendicular to the direction of main vertical elongation of the body 74, that is to say in a direction parallel to the axis L. This direction in which the stop 72 and the tongue 73 extend is, when the locking member 7 is assembled to the opening control 4, substantially parallel to the main axis 100 of the support 44.

La languette 73 comprend au niveau d'une extrémité longitudinale 731, la plus éloignée du corps 74, une coopération entre un chanfrein 732 et un épaulement 733 destinée à maintenir l'organe de verrouillage 7 solidaire du support 44.The tongue 73 comprises at a longitudinal end 731, furthest from the body 74, a cooperation between a chamfer 732 and a shoulder 733 intended to hold the locking member 7 secured to the support 44.

La butée 72 est destinée à venir en regard du poussoir 452 lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé à la commande d'ouverture 4. Plus précisément, la butée 72 est destinée à interdire le retour du poussoir 452 de sa deuxième position dans laquelle la bague de blocage 45 est dans sa position bloquée à sa première position dans laquelle la bague de blocage 45 est dans sa position débloquée.The stop 72 is intended to come opposite the pusher 452 when the locking member 7 is assembled to the opening control 4. More precisely, the stop 72 is intended to prevent the return of the pusher 452 from its second position in which the locking ring 45 is in its locked position in its first position in which the locking ring 45 is in its unlocked position.

Il convient de noter que l'organe de verrouillage 7 ne peut être assemblé au support 44, et plus largement à la commande d'ouverture 4, seulement lorsque la bague de blocage 45 est dans sa position bloquée, et plus précisément lorsque le poussoir 452 est dans sa deuxième position. En effet, lorsque le poussoir 452 est dans sa première position, la butée 72 entre en contact, selon une direction longitudinale, avec le poussoir 452 interdisant l'assemblage de l'organe de verrouillage 7 au support 44.It should be noted that the locking member 7 cannot be assembled to the support 44, and more broadly to the opening control 4, only when the locking ring 45 is in its blocked position, and more precisely when the pusher 452 is in its second position. Indeed, when the pusher 452 is in its first position, the stop 72 comes into contact, in a longitudinal direction, with the pusher 452 preventing the assembly of the locking member 7 to the support 44.

Le moyen de centrage 71 est destinée à coopérer avec le cache 42 ou le verrou 43 de sorte à centrer l'organe de verrouillage 7 par rapport au cache 42 ou au verrou 43. Plus spécifiquement, la figure 4 illustre l'organe de verrouillage 7 destiné à coopérer avec le cache 42 de la commande d'ouverture 4. À cet effet, le moyen de centrage 71 de l'organe de verrouillage 7 est formé, dans ce mode de réalisation représenté par la figure 4, par une portion tubulaire 711 faisant saillie depuis la corps 74 de l'organe de verrouillage 7 selon une direction parallèle à l'axe L et à l'axe principal 100 du support 44. Il convient de noter que la portion tubulaire s'étend depuis le corps 74 de l'organe de verrouillage selon une même direction que la butée 72 et la languette 73.The centering means 71 is intended to cooperate with the cover 42 or the lock 43 so as to center the locking member 7 relative to the cover 42 or the lock 43. More specifically, the figure 4 illustrates the locking member 7 intended to cooperate with the cover 42 of the opening control 4. For this purpose, the centering means 71 of the locking member 7 is formed, in this embodiment represented by the figure 4 , by a tubular portion 711 projecting from the body 74 of the locking member 7 in a direction parallel to the axis L and to the main axis 100 of the support 44. It should be noted that the tubular portion extends from the body 74 of the locking member in the same direction as the stop 72 and the tongue 73.

A une extrémité longitudinale 712 de cette portion tubulaire 711 quatre creux 713 opposés deux à deux sont ménagés dans la portion tubulaire 711. Ces creux 713 sont destinés à coopérer avec une croix ménagée dans le logement 421 du cache 42.At a longitudinal end 712 of this tubular portion 711 four hollows 713 opposite two by two are formed in the tubular portion 711. These hollows 713 are intended to cooperate with a cross formed in the housing 421 of the cover 42.

La figure 5 illustre la coopération entre l'organe de verrouillage 7 représenté par la figure 4 et la commande d'ouverture 4 tel que représentée par la figure 3. La portion tubulaire 711 est logée dans le logement 421 prévu dans la partie du cache 42 logée dans l'ouverture 441 du support 44. Plus précisément, l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé avec le support 44, et plus largement avec la commande d'ouverture 4, de telle sorte que le corps 74 de l'organe de verrouillage 7 soit au contact du cache 42 et que l'extrémité longitudinale 731 de la languette 73 soit en prise sur le support 44.There figure 5 illustrates the cooperation between the locking member 7 represented by the figure 4 and the opening command 4 as represented by the Figure 3 . The tubular portion 711 is housed in the housing 421 provided in the part of the cover 42 housed in the opening 441 of the support 44. More precisely, the locking member 7 is assembled with the support 44, and more broadly with the control of opening 4, such that the body 74 of the locking member 7 is in contact with the cover 42 and the longitudinal end 731 of the tongue 73 engages with the support 44.

Tel que précédemment évoqué, les creux 713 de la portion tubulaire 711 sont destinés à coopérer avec une croix ménagée dans le logement 421 du cache 42. Cette croix est formée, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, de deux éléments faisant saillie formant une croix logés dans les creux 713 de la portion tubulaire 711. Cette coopération entre les creux 713 et la croix ménagée dans le logement 421 du cache 42 permet de former une organe anti-rotation limitant la rotation de l'organe de verrouillage 7 par rapport au cache 42.As previously mentioned, the recesses 713 of the tubular portion 711 are intended to cooperate with a cross provided in the housing 421 of the cover 42. This cross is formed, in the embodiment shown, of two projecting elements forming a cross housed in the recesses 713 of the tubular portion 711. This cooperation between the recesses 713 and the cross provided in the housing 421 of the cover 42 makes it possible to form an anti-rotation member limiting the rotation of the locking member 7 relative to the cover 42 .

En outre, au niveau de la languette 73, la coopération entre le chanfrein 732 et l'épaulement 733 permet à l'organe de verrouillage 7 d'être rendu solidaire du support 44. Tel que visible sur la figure 5, le support 44 comprend un épaulement de réception 442 coopérant avec l'épaulement 733 de telle sorte que la languette 73 est en prise sur l'épaulement de réception 442 du support 44. On comprend que le chanfrein 732 permet à la languette 73 d'être en prise sur l'épaulement 733 par une simple translation de l'organe de verrouillage 7 selon une direction parallèle à l'axe principal 100. Une telle translation génère, par le biais du chanfrein 732, une déformation ponctuelle éloignant la languette 73 de l'épaulement de réception 442 puis un retour élastique de la languette 73 permet à l'épaulement 733 de venir en prise sur l'épaulement de réception 442.Furthermore, at the level of the tongue 73, the cooperation between the chamfer 732 and the shoulder 733 allows the locking member 7 to be made integral with the support 44. As visible on the figure 5 , the support 44 comprises a receiving shoulder 442 cooperating with the shoulder 733 such that the tongue 73 engages with the receiving shoulder 442 of the support 44. It is understood that the chamfer 732 allows the tongue 73 to be engaged on the shoulder 733 by a simple translation of the locking member 7 in a direction parallel to the main axis 100. Such translation generates, through the chamfer 732, a point deformation moving the tongue 73 of the receiving shoulder 442 then an elastic return of the tongue 73 allows the shoulder 733 to engage on the receiving shoulder 442.

La languette 73 comprend également un moyen de séparation 735 permettant de séparer l'organe de verrouillage 7 du support 44. Ce moyen de séparation 735 permet d'offrir une prise à l'opérateur pour déformer la languette 73 de sorte à dégager l'épaulement 733 de l'épaulement de réception. Une translation de l'organe de verrouillage 7 selon une direction parallèle à l'axe principal 100 permet alors de dissocier l'organe de verrouillage 7 du support 44.The tongue 73 also comprises a separation means 735 making it possible to separate the locking member 7 from the support 44. This separation means 735 makes it possible to provide a grip to the operator to deform the tongue 73 so as to release the shoulder 733 of the receiving shoulder. A translation of the locking member 7 in a direction parallel to the main axis 100 then makes it possible to dissociate the locking member 7 from the support 44.

Le moyen de centrage 71 de l'organe de verrouillage 7 représenté par la figure 6, est quant à lui formé d'un évidement de centrage 714 destiné à entourer le verrou 43, lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé au support 44. Cet évidement de centrage 714 est délimité par une paroi périphérique 715 comprenant une succession de cavités 716 éloignant localement la paroi périphérique 715 de l'axe principal 100 lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé au support 44.The centering means 71 of the locking member 7 represented by the Figure 6 , is for its part formed of a centering recess 714 intended to surround the lock 43, when the locking member 7 is assembled to the support 44. This centering recess 714 is delimited by a peripheral wall 715 comprising a succession of cavities 716 locally moving the peripheral wall 715 away from the main axis 100 when the locking member 7 is assembled to the support 44.

La figure 7 illustre la coopération de l'organe de verrouillage 7 tel que représenté par la figure 6 avec la commande d'ouverture 4 telle que représentée par la figure 3. Tel que visible sur cette figure 7, le verrou 43 est logé en partie dans l'évidement de centrage 714 de l'organe de verrouillage 7. Des éléments saillant du verrou 43 sont placés en regard des cavités 716 du moyen de centrage 71 pour former un organe anti-rotation limitant la rotation de l'organe de verrouillage 7 par rapport au support 44. Il convient de noter que l'assemblage de la batteuse au verrou 43 intervient après l'assemblage de l'organe de verrouillage 7 à la commande d'ouverture 4.There Figure 7 illustrates the cooperation of the locking member 7 as represented by the Figure 6 with the opening command 4 as represented by the Figure 3 . As visible on this Figure 7 , the lock 43 is housed partly in the centering recess 714 of the locking member 7. Projecting elements of the lock 43 are placed opposite the cavities 716 of the centering means 71 to form an anti-rotation member limiting the rotation of the locking member 7 relative to the support 44. It should be noted that the assembly of the thresher to the lock 43 occurs after the assembly of the locking member 7 to the opening control 4.

Avantageusement, l'organe de verrouillage 7 présente une symétrie par rapport à un plan de symétrie 10 passant au moins par la butée 72 et la languette 73. Plus précisément, ce plan de symétrie 10 s'étend, lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 7 est assemblé au support 44, selon une direction parallèle à l'axe principal 100 et selon une direction parallèle à la direction d'allongement principal verticale du corps 74 de l'organe de verrouillage 7. Cette symétrie de l'organe de verrouillage 7 lui permet de pouvoir équiper une commande d'ouverture 4 d'un ouvrant 2 situé d'un côté du véhicule automobile 1 ou de l'autre.Advantageously, the locking member 7 has symmetry with respect to a plane of symmetry 10 passing at least through the stop 72 and the tongue 73. More precisely, this plane of symmetry 10 extends, when the locking member 7 is assembled to the support 44, in a direction parallel to the main axis 100 and in a direction parallel to the direction of main vertical elongation of the body 74 of the locking member 7. This symmetry of the locking member 7 makes it possible to equip an opening control 4 with an opening 2 located on one side of the motor vehicle 1 or the other.

Ainsi, l'invention telle qu'elle vient d'être décrite atteint bien les buts qu'elle s'était fixée et permet de proposer une commande d'ouverture, destinée à activer une serrure d'un ouvrant, au sein de laquelle le cache ou le verrou est maintenu par une bague de blocage dont la position bloquée est assurée par un organe de verrouillage Des variantes non décrites ici pourraient être mise en oeuvre sans sortir du contexte de l'invention, dès lors que, conformément à l'invention, elles comprennent une commande d'ouverture dans laquelle la position bloquée de la bague de blocage est maintenue par un organe de verrouillage.Thus, the invention as it has just been described achieves the goals it had set for itself and makes it possible to propose an opening command, intended to activate a lock of a opening, within which the cover or the lock is held by a locking ring whose locked position is ensured by a locking member. Variants not described here could be implemented without departing from the context of the invention, therefore that, in accordance with the invention, they include an opening control in which the locked position of the locking ring is maintained by a locking member.
