JPH0648179A - Push-out device for sliding door - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a sliding door push-out device capable of removing ice coating effectively without anxiety about the loss of parts. CONSTITUTION:A bracket 5 is fixed to the body side face opposed to the lower part back face of the rear end of a sliding door 2, and the intermediate part of a pedal 8 is pivotally supported in the oscillating state at this bracket 5 through a pivot in the longitudinal direction of a body 1. A pedal part is formed at the lower end part of the pedal 8, and a door push-out arm part 8b is formed at the upper end part of the pedal 8. When the pedal part is depressed, an arm inserted between the sliding door 2 and the body 1 pushes the rear end lower part of the sliding door 2 outward so as to remove ice formed by icing.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sliding door pushing device for a van type vehicle or the like. More specifically, when the sliding door cannot be opened due to freezing or the like, the ice can be forcibly peeled off. The present invention relates to an extrusion device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when the sliding door is iced,
A member for freezing and freezing ice that can forcefully open the door to the outside of the vehicle body has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-24981). This ice peeling member consists of a handle and a hook-shaped part, and the hook-shaped part is inserted into the gap between the slide door and the car body to raise the handle part, so that the ice is peeled off from the car body by lever application and slides. I am trying to open the door.

[0003]

However, since the above-mentioned ice peeling member is a component that is not attached to the vehicle body, it has the drawback that it is cumbersome to store and easily lost. Also,
Since the ice is mainly water and mud splashed by the front wheels, freezing occurs in the lower part of the rear end of the slide door, but if the ice peeling member cannot be inserted in this freezing part, The hook-shaped portion of the ice peeling member is inserted into the gap between the guide rail groove provided on the side wall of the vehicle body and the slide door. However, in this case, since the distance between the insertion portion and the frosted portion is large, the peeling force of the icing / peeling member does not effectively act on the frosted portion, and it may be difficult to peel the ice. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a slide door pushing device that does not have to be lost and can effectively remove icing.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms a pedal portion at the lower end and
A pedal having an arm portion for pushing out a door at an upper end portion and a bracket pivotably supporting an intermediate portion of the pedal via a support shaft in the vehicle front-rear direction are provided. It is fixed to the vehicle body side surface facing the lower back surface, and the arm portion of the pedal is inserted between the lower rear surface of the rear end of the slide door and the vehicle body side surface.

[0005]

When the pedal portion of the pedal is depressed, the pedal swings in the vehicle width direction around the support shaft, and the arm portion pushes the lower rear surface of the rear end portion of the slide door outward in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the peeling force of the pedal directly acts on the ice on the lower end of the slide door, and the ice can be easily broken. After that, the slide door can be opened by operating the door handle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a van type vehicle equipped with an extrusion device according to the present invention, in which 1 is a vehicle body, 2 is a sliding door, 3 is a door handle, and 4 is a guide rail. As shown in FIG. 2, a bracket 5 is fixed to the side surface of the vehicle body 1 facing the lower rear surface of the rear end portion of the sliding door 2 by bolts 6, and the bearings bent and formed on both sides of the bracket 5. A pedal 8 is pivotally supported on the portion 5a via a support shaft 7 in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be swingable in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pedal 8 has a pedal portion 8a protruding to the outside of the vehicle body at the lower end portion, and a door pushing arm portion 8 inserted between the vehicle body 1 and the slide door 2 at the upper end portion.
b, and a bearing portion 8c that is swingably supported by the support shaft 7 is integrally provided in the middle portion. Arm part 8b
A rubber protector 9 is fixedly attached to the vehicle body 1 or the sliding door 2 to prevent damage to the vehicle body 1 or the sliding door 2. A return spring 10, which is a torsion spring, is interposed between one of the bearings 5 a of the bracket 5 and the pedal 8, and the pedal 8 causes the pedal 8 to move toward the arm 8.
b is constantly urged in the direction in which it contacts the vehicle body 1.

The operation of the extrusion device having the above construction will now be described. In a cold region or the like, water or mud splashed by the front wheels may be frozen in the lower portion on the rear end side of the slide door 2 as shown by the diagonal lines in FIG. If the lower end of the slide door 2 freezes, it becomes difficult to open the slide door 2 only by operating the door handle 3. In this case, the foot of the pedal portion 8a is depressed, and the pedal 8 is swung against the return spring 10. That is, pedal 8
When the vehicle is swung to the outside of the vehicle body, the arm 8b pushes the lower rear surface of the rear end portion of the slide door 2 to the outside as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 2, and the ice formed between the vehicle body 1 and the slide door 2 freezes. You can divide 20. After that, by operating the door handle 3, the slide door 2 is moved to the guide rail 4
Can be easily opened along. Also, if the pedal 8 is operated with the foot, the person's weight can be used to strongly depress, so that a large peeling force can be exerted, and even if the vehicle body 1 and the slide door 2 are strongly frozen, it is easily frozen. You can break the ice.

In order to prevent the pedal 8 itself from icing, the pedal 8 may be formed of a heat insulating material that does not easily icy, or the periphery of the pedal 8 may be covered with a heat insulating material.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the ice attached between the vehicle body and the sliding door is broken by using the pedal attached to the vehicle body via the bracket. There is no need to store the ice peeling parts as in the past, and there is no risk of loss. Also, because the part of the slide door near the icing part is pushed out by the pedal,
The peeling force directly acts on the ice that has landed, the ice can be effectively broken, and the operability of opening the slide door can be improved.
