La societe Audi a commercialise un vehicule sous la denomination A4 durant le millesime 2000. Les portieres avant de ce vehicule vent equipees de garnitures de poussoir de bassin. Ces garnitures vent placees a l'arriere des portieres au niveau du bassin ou du siege d'un passager du vehicule. Lors d'un impact, et en particulier lors d'un impact lateral, cette garniture assure une repartition de ['effort d'intrusion sur le bassin et sur le siege du passager. Cette garniture permet ainsi d'ecarter le passager The Audi company marketed a vehicle under the name A4 during the 2000 vintage. The front doors of this vehicle are fitted with basin lifters. These wind linings placed at the rear of the doors at the level of the basin or of the passenger seat of the vehicle. During an impact, and in particular during a lateral impact, this lining ensures a distribution of the intrusion force on the pelvis and on the passenger seat. This lining thus makes it possible to separate the passenger

de la zone de contact et de limiter les blessures du passager lors d'un impact. of the contact area and limit passenger injuries during an impact.

L'assemblage de cette piece supplementaire presente des inconvenients. Cette piece est volumineuse. Cette piece est done difficile a assembler dans une portiere dans laquelle le volume est generalement limite. Son assemblage dans le volume de la portiere est rendu encore plus difficile par la presence prealable de nombreux equipements de portiere, tels que la serrure et les cables de commandes afferents ou The assembly of this additional part has drawbacks. This piece is bulky. This piece is therefore difficult to assemble in a door in which the volume is generally limited. Its assembly in the volume of the door is made even more difficult by the prior presence of numerous door equipment, such as the lock and the associated control cables or

L'invention propose un procede de fixation d'une garniture de poussoir de bassin dans une portiere. La garniture est guidee par une partie structurelle de la portiere jusqu'a une position de fixation de la garniture a la portiere. La garniture est The invention provides a method of fixing a basin pusher trim in a door. The trim is guided by a structural part of the door to a position for fixing the trim to the door.

moyen d'une vitre de la portiere. La plaque est la premiere partie deformee de la garniture lors d'une intrusion. La plaque a generalement pour fonction d'amortir une partie du choc dtintrusion. La garniture presente de fa,con connue en soi des plots 3 saillants en direction de l'interieur du vehicule par rapport a la plaque. Les plots ont pour fonction de pousser et d'amortir le choc par ecrasement. La portiere 1 presente des parties structurelles destinees a augmenter la resistance des elements dthabillage de la portiere, tels que le panneau interieur 7 represente partiellement- et le panneau exterieur 8. Les parties structurelles peuvent avoir pour fonction d'augmenter la resistance de la portiere aux impacts frontaux ou aux impacts lateraux. Ces parties structurelles peuvent notamment etre des barres de renfort anti-intrusion 5 et 6. On peut egalement envisager une partie structurelle formee par un repli de tole, realise through a door window. The plate is the first deformed part of the lining during an intrusion. The plate generally has the function of absorbing part of the intrusion shock. The lining presents in a manner, known per se, studs 3 projecting in the direction of the interior of the vehicle relative to the plate. The studs have the function of pushing and absorbing the shock by crushing. The door 1 has structural parts intended to increase the resistance of the door trim elements, such as the interior panel 7 partially represented and the exterior panel 8. The structural parts may have the function of increasing the resistance of the door to frontal impacts or lateral impacts. These structural parts can in particular be anti-intrusion reinforcement bars 5 and 6. One can also envisage a structural part formed by a sheet fold, produced

par exemple dans le panneau interieur 7 ou dans le panneau exterieur 8. for example in the interior panel 7 or in the exterior panel 8.

La garniture de poussoir de bassin 2 presente au moins une partie -non representee- permettant la fxation de la garniture a la portiere 1. On peut notamment envisager de fixer la garniture 2 a la portiere 1 par vissage, par l'intermediaire d'inserts filetes places dans la garniture 2 ou encore par collage. La garniture 2 presente ainsi une position de fixation avec la portiere 1. Cette position peut etre The basin pusher trim 2 has at least one part - not shown - allowing the fitting of the trim to the door 1. One can in particular envisage fixing the trim 2 to the door 1 by screwing, by means of inserts threads placed in the filling 2 or by gluing. The trim 2 thus has a fixing position with the door 1. This position can be

definie au moyen d'une butee menagee dans la portiere. defined by means of a stopper in the door.

La garniture 2 presente egalement une partie susceptible d'etre guidee par une piece structurelle de la portiere 1. La garniture 2 presente ainsi un rail 9 muni d'une fente dans laquelle la barre anti-intrusion 5 est susceptible de coulisser. La garniture 2 est ainsi susceptible d'8tre guidee, jusqu'a sa position de fixation, par coulissement relatif entre le rail 9 et la barre 5. La garniture peut ainsi etre aisement guidee jusqu'a sa position de fixation a la portiere. Bien qu'on ait decrit jusqu'alors un guidage longitudinal de la garniture 2 jusqu'a sa position de fxation a la portiere, on peut egalement prevoir un guidage vertical ou transversal, ou encore une combinaison de The lining 2 also has a portion capable of being guided by a structural part of the door 1. The lining 2 thus presents a rail 9 provided with a slot in which the anti-intrusion bar 5 is capable of sliding. The lining 2 is thus capable of being guided, to its fixing position, by relative sliding between the rail 9 and the bar 5. The lining can thus be easily guided to its fixing position on the door. Although hitherto has been described a longitudinal guide of the trim 2 to its position of attachment to the door, it is also possible to provide a vertical or transverse guide, or even a combination of

ces guidages.these guides.

On peut egalement prevoir un autre guidage de la garniture 2 par rapport a une partie structurelle jusqu'a sa position de fixation a la portiere, en remplacement ou en supplement du guidage decrit precedemment. Ainsi, la garniture 2 presente en outre une surface 10 saillant transversalement par rapport a la plaque plane. Cette surface It is also possible to provide another guide for the lining 2 relative to a structural part up to its position for fixing to the door, replacing or in addition to the guide described above. Thus, the lining 2 also has a surface 10 projecting transversely relative to the flat plate. This surface

permet egalement le guidage de la garniture 2 par rapport a la barre de renfort 6. also enables the lining 2 to be guided relative to the reinforcing bar 6.

Des fonctions supplementaires peuvent eke integrees dans la garniture 2. Ainsi, la garniture 2 peut presenter une fonction de protection du cable d'un leve-vitre monte dans la portiere. La garniture presente de preference une partie surplombant la partie du cable a proteger. Un objet introduit par la ligne de ceinture de la portiere ne peut alors pas atteindre la partie protegee du cable. La garniture protege ainsi Additional functions can be integrated into the trim 2. Thus, the trim 2 can have a function of protecting the cable of a window regulator mounted in the door. The lining preferably has a part overhanging the part of the cable to be protected. An object introduced by the belt line of the door cannot then reach the protected part of the cable. The lining thus protects

efficacement le vehicule d'une ouverture frauduleuse de la vitre. effectively the vehicle from fraudulent opening of the window.

La garniture 2 peut egalement presenter des elements de fxation d'equipements de portiere. La garniture 2 peut notamment presenter des elements de fixation pour un mecanisme de levier d'ouverture interieure, un levier d'ouverture exterieure, une serrure ou un actionneur de serrure. Dans l'exemple des figures 1 et 2, la garniture 2 presente des platines de fixation 11 et 12. Un mecanisme de levier d'ouverture exterieure 13 est fixe sur la platine de fixation 11. Le mecanisme 13 est connecte par tout moyen adequat -par cable dans l'exemple represente- a un actionneur de serrure 14. L'actionneur de serrure 14 est egalement connecte par tout moyen adequat a un mecanisme de levier d'ouverture interieure 16, classiquement fixe sur le panneau interieur 7. L'actionneur de serrure 14 a pour fonction de transmettre les commandes d'ouverture de portiere exercees sur les mecanismes 13 et 16 a la serrure 15. La serrure 15 et l'actionneur de serrure 14 vent fixes sur la platine The trim 2 can also have elements for fixing door equipment. The lining 2 may in particular have fixing elements for an internal opening lever mechanism, an external opening lever, a lock or a lock actuator. In the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, the lining 2 has fixing plates 11 and 12. An external opening lever mechanism 13 is fixed to the fixing plate 11. The mechanism 13 is connected by any suitable means - by cable in the example represented- to a lock actuator 14. The lock actuator 14 is also connected by any suitable means to an interior opening lever mechanism 16, conventionally fixed on the interior panel 7. The actuator of the lock 14 has the function of transmitting the door opening commands exerted on the mechanisms 13 and 16 to the lock 15. The lock 15 and the lock actuator 14 are fixed on the plate

de fixation 12 de la garniture 2.fastening 12 of the packing 2.

Les elements de fixation des equipements vent de tout type adequat. Les elements de fixation peuvent notamment comprendre des inserts filetes solidaires de platines de fixation de la garniture 2. On peut egalement prevoir de realiser des platines 11 et 12 monobloc avec la garniture 2. On minimise ainsi le nombre de pieces montees dans la portiere 1. Les elements de fixation vent egalement conformes pour assurer la fixation des equipements sur la garniture, en des positions qui correspondent a leurs positions respectives finales relativement a la portiere 1, lorsque la garniture 2 est dans sa position de fixation par rapport a la portiere. Ainsi, le guidage de la garniture 2 jusqu'a sa position de fixation implique simultanement le guidage des equipements de portiere, fixes prealablement, jusqu'a leur position finale The fastening elements of the equipment are of any suitable type. The fastening elements may in particular include threaded inserts secured to the fixing plates of the lining 2. It is also possible to make plates 11 and 12 in one piece with the lining 2. This minimizes the number of parts mounted in the door 1. The fastening elements are also conform to ensure the attachment of the equipment to the trim, in positions which correspond to their respective final positions relative to the door 1, when the trim 2 is in its fixing position relative to the door. Thus, guiding the trim 2 to its fixing position simultaneously involves guiding the door equipment, previously fixed, to their final position.

par rapport a la portiere 1.relative to the door 1.

La figure 3 represente schematiquement une variante de garniture 2. La Figure 3 shows schematically a variant of packing 2. The

garniture 2 peut ainsi presenter une fixation d'un rail 17 de guidage en U d'une vitre. gasket 2 can thus have a fixing of a U-shaped guide rail 17 of a window.

Cette vitre peut integrer un curseur d'un leve-vitre. Le placement de la garniture de poussoir dans la portiere sert ainsi egalement au placement simultane du rail 17 dans This window can incorporate a slider from a window regulator. The placement of the pusher trim in the door thus also serves for the simultaneous placement of the rail 17 in
