- la figure 4 est une représentation schématique du dispositif de fixation du potelet au montant latéral de la carrosserie.- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the device for fixing the post to the lateral upright of the bodywork.

La porte latérale pivotante 1 autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, telle que décrite à titre d'exemple dans la publication EP-A-0 493 225, porte dans sa partie inférieure deux enrouleurs 2, 3 des sangles 41, 42 de la ceinture de sécurité 4.The pivoting side door 1 around a substantially horizontal axis, as described by way of example in publication EP-A-0 493 225, carries in its lower part two winders 2, 3 of the straps 41, 42 of the belt security 4.

L'enrouleur 2 assure le déroulement ou l'enroulement de la sangle ventrale 41.The winder 2 ensures the unwinding or the winding of the ventral strap 41.

L'enrouleur 3 assure le déroulement ou l'enroulement de la sangle thoracique 42.The winder 3 ensures the unwinding or the winding of the thoracic strap 42.

Entre les parois extérieure 5 et intérieure 6 de la porte 1, on a monté et fixé un potelet 7 rétractable associé à son mécanisme de commande constitué par un moteur 8 qui actionne un système vis - écrou 9, 10. Between the outer 5 and inner 6 walls of the door 1, a retractable post 7 has been mounted and fixed associated with its control mechanism constituted by a motor 8 which actuates a screw-nut system 9, 10.

Le moteur 8 est fixé par deux supports 81, 82 à la paroi intérieure 6 de la porte 1.The motor 8 is fixed by two supports 81, 82 to the interior wall 6 of the door 1.

L'écrou 10 est encastré dans une cage 11 fixée sur la paroi intérieure du chant 12 de la porte 1.The nut 10 is embedded in a cage 11 fixed to the inner wall of the edge 12 of the door 1.

Le moteur 8 agit par l'intermédiaire de son arbre 13 sur l'écrou 10 en prise avec la vis de commande 9 des déplacements du potelet 7.The motor 8 acts by means of its shaft 13 on the nut 10 in engagement with the control screw 9 for the movements of the post 7.

La vis de commande 9 est fixée par son extrêmité supérieure à une armature 14 du potelet 7.The control screw 9 is fixed by its upper end to a frame 14 of the post 7.

Durant les déplacements du potelet 7, celui-ci est maintenu dans un guide 15 fixé par un support 16 à la paroi intérieure du chant 12.During the movements of the post 7, the latter is held in a guide 15 fixed by a support 16 to the inner wall of the edge 12.

Un ressort de rappel 17 est monté en compression entre le guide 15 et l'armature 14 du potelet 7.A return spring 17 is mounted in compression between the guide 15 and the frame 14 of the post 7.

Le potelet 7 porte par ailleurs l'ancrage latéral 18 de la sangle thoracique 42 de la ceinture de sécurité 4.The post 7 also carries the lateral anchoring 18 of the thoracic strap 42 of the seat belt 4.

Un organe 19 de liaison porté par le potelet 7 est en correspondance avec un organe 20 de retenue fixé sur un montant latéral 21 de la carrosserie, lorsque ledit potelet 7 est en position d'utilisation par suite de la fermeture de la porte 1.A connecting member 19 carried by the post 7 is in correspondence with a retaining member 20 fixed to a lateral upright 21 of the body, when said post 7 is in the position of use as a result of the closing of the door 1.

On décrira ci-après le fonctionnement de la ceinture 4 assservie au mouvement de la porte 1.The operation of the belt 4 slaved to the movement of the door 1 will be described below.

D'une manière conventionnelle, un contacteur assure la mise en route du moteur 8 à la fermeture de la porte 1.In a conventional manner, a contactor ensures that the motor 8 is started when the door 1 is closed.

Le moteur 8 actionne par l'intermédiaire de l'écrou 10 la vis de commande 9 de la mise en position d'utilisation ou en position de rangement du potelet 7. The motor 8 actuates, by means of the nut 10, the control screw 9 for placing in the use position or in the storage position of the post 7.

La vis de commande 9 déplace le potelet 7, maintenu sur son guide 15, vers sa position d'utilisation représentée à la figure 2.The control screw 9 moves the post 7, held on its guide 15, to its position of use shown in FIG. 2.

Le ressort 17 se détend et fournit un effort d'assistance au moteur 8.The spring 17 relaxes and provides an assistance effort to the motor 8.

Par contre lors de la commande de rangement du potelet 7, le poids de celui-ci équilibre la force du ressort et permet au moteur 8 de fonctionner à charge réduite, nécessaire à la manoeuvre du système vis-écrou 9, 10.On the other hand, when the post 7 is ordered to store it, the weight of it balances the force of the spring and allows the motor 8 to operate at reduced load, necessary for the operation of the screw-nut system 9, 10.

Lorsque le potelet 7 a atteint sa position d'utilisation, l'organe 19 de liaison avec l'organe de retenue 20 porté par le montant latéral 21 de la carrosserie vérouille en position d'utilisation ledit potelet 7. When the post 7 has reached its position of use, the member 19 for connection with the retaining member 20 carried by the lateral upright 21 of the bodywork locks in the position of use of said post 7.
