- the movement means 6 evolves without presenting any variation in height relative to the rail 51.
- the movable flap 9 on the other hand, moves around the pivot axis 900 depending on the cooperation between the guide element 93 and the guide member 62.
- the intermediate wall 92 particularly an edge most distant from the wall intermediate 92 relative to the rail 51 and/or the hubcap 8 will be further pivoted and lowered. The degree of opening of the shutter relative to the trim 8 will then be greater.
- the guide member 62 lowers the movable flap 9 little, if at all, depending on the desired setting.
- the intermediate wall 92 then pivots weakly, if at all, relative to the rail 51 and/or to the trim 8.
- the degree of opening of the movable flap 9 relative to the trim 8 thus varies between a "nominal” configuration or “closed” in which the movable flap 9 is not moved, here obtained at the lowest, or low, height of the guide element 93, and a “tilted” or “open” configuration obtained at the level of a highest, or elevated, height of the guide element 93.
- An example of embodiment of the movable flap 9 in “nominal” configuration is shown in solid lines in FIG. 11, while the movable flap 9 rotated in “tilted” configuration is illustrated in this same figure in dotted lines.
- Such a variation in the degree of opening of the movable shutter 9 notably allows the passage of the articulated arm 7 when the opening is moved between its “closed” position and its “open” position.
- such variation is configured to be adapted to an architecture of the opening, in particular a shape of the opening 21 and/or a roof drop.
- the movable flap 9 can also be moved in one or more intermediate configuration(s), obtained when a point of the guide element 93 cooperating with the movement means 6, selected along the length of that -this, has a height between the lowest height and the highest height relative to the internal surface 901 of the movable flap 9.
- An inverse principle applies mutatis mutandis to a guide element 93 comprising a groove.
- the arrangement 1 according to the invention can also comprise a sealing and/or damping member 11, such as a seal, configured to cooperate with a free end of the movable flap 9.
- a sealing and/or damping member 11 can, for example, be fixed on or near the opening 21 of the body 2.
- it can be carried by a clamp 12 carrying a door entry seal bordering the opening 21.
- the movable flap 9 may comprise reinforcing members 94 of the guide element 93.
- the reinforcing members 94 may be distributed along all or part of the length of the guide element 93.
- the members reinforcement 94 extend transversely, in particular orthogonally to the guide element 93 and to the main direction 500.
- the reinforcement members 94 when the guide element is removable and/or attached, also have the function of maintaining the guide element 93.
- the movable flap 9 can comprise at least one recess 95 and/or at least one location 95' configured to receive at least in part the articulated arm 7.
- the recess 95 can in particular be configured so as to receive the articulated arm 7 when the latter, connected to the movement means 6, is in at least one of the extreme front or rear positions described previously along the rail 51, corresponding to the opening or closing position of the sliding opening 3 relative to the body 2.
- the intermediate wall 92 of the movable shutter 9 comprises a first recess 95a, configured to receive the articulated arm 7 when the opening 3 is placed in the open position.
- the intermediate wall 92 of the movable shutter 9 also comprises a second recess 95b, located opposite the first recess 95a along the main direction 500 and the rail 51, configured to receive the articulated arm 7 when the opening 3 is arranged in the closed position.
- a depth of the recess 95 considered may depend on the variation of the dimension 90 considered of the guide element 93 as explained previously, for example, the greater the dimension 90 considered, the more the depth of the recess 95 is reduced, and Conversely.
- the recess 95 can be replaced by a cutout delimiting a location 95' capable of receiving at least partially the articulated arm 7.
- the movable flap 9 illustrated also represents an alternative example of location 95' capable of receiving the arm, at the level of which the reinforcing members 94 are arranged so as to allow the positioning of a part of the articulated arm 7 parallel, or substantially parallel, to the guide element 93 and/or to the rail 51 in one of the aforementioned positions.
- the arrangement 1 further comprises at least one blocking means 96 arranged at an end portion, along the main direction 500, of the movable flap 9, configured to hold the movable shutter 9 in the extreme closing configuration.
- the blocking means 96 can be one or more spring(s).
- a spring is arranged at the level of the opposite end portions of the movable flap 9 so as to extend between one of the end flanks 81 of the hubcap 8 and one of the end walls 91 of the movable shutter 9.
- the blocking means 96 makes it possible to return the movable flap 9 to the “nominal” or “closed” configuration when the guide member 62 does not lower the guide element 93.
- the invention also extends to a method of operating the arrangement 1 according to the invention. Such a method can also be compared to a method of using arrangement 1 or a vehicle 100 equipped with an arrangement 1 according to the invention.
- the method comprises the opening 21 and/or closing of the sliding opening 3 and the movement of the movement means 6 relative to the rail 51. Indeed, in the example illustrated, when the opening 3 is open or closed, the articulated arm 7 connected to the opening 3 is driven and the same goes for the movement means 6, connected to said arm. As explained previously, the movement means 6 can in particular evolve according to a translation movement T 1.
- the method also includes the simultaneous movement of the movement means 6, in particular via the guide member 62 such as at least one roller, relative to the guide element 93 so as to move the movable flap 9 by relative to the hubcap 8 and vary a degree of opening of the movable flap 9.
- the trajectory of the guide member 62 is parallel, or substantially parallel to the trajectory defined by the rail 51 and it is the cooperation of the means movement 6 with the guide element 93, via the guide member 62, which allows the movement of the movable shutter 9, in particular the pivoting P1 of the shutter around the pivot axis 900, as described upper.
- the present invention thus proposes an arrangement comprising a device for guiding a sliding opening of a motor vehicle advantageously making it possible to hide the operation of said device, in particular of the rail allowing the movement of the opening.
- the aesthetics of the motor vehicle in particular the aesthetics of the body side, are thus optimized.
- the rail is invisible and covered by the mobile shutter of the device.
- the invention is advantageously adapted to a wide variety of vehicles equipped with at least one sliding door, such as for example heavy goods vehicles, buses, trains, or even planes, and to a wide variety of opening architectures. sliding, in particular roof drop, in limiting the intrusion of the device.
- the invention is adapted to more or less large openings.
- the invention allows the use of classic rails, in particular rectilinear ones, integrating perfectly with a classic body side geometry.
- the arrangement, in particular the guiding device can easily be integrated inside the vehicle, in the passenger compartment, for example behind a stretcher covering, so that it makes it possible to maintain a frame opening and a roof drop desired while limiting the intrusion of the device.
- the present invention cannot, however, be limited to the means and modes described and illustrated here and it also extends to any equivalent means or mode and to any technically effective combination of such means insofar as they ultimately fulfill the functionalities described and illustrated. in this document.
