Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door protector and particularly, but not exclusively, to a retractable door protector for a vehicle such as an automobile.
  • a common problem experienced by the owners of vehicles such as automobiles is that when the vehicle doors are opened sufficiently to allow the driver to enter or exit the vehicle, it is possible for the door to strike an object such as a wall, fence, tree or, indeed, another vehicle. This is particularly the case where the vehicle is parked in a small or tight parking space or when another vehicle has parked unreasonably close to it.
  • This problem is not limited to vehicles having horizontally hinged doors.
  • the vertically hinged tailgate doors of vehicles, and the gull-wing or scissor-type doors used on certain high-level sports cars may also suffer this problem when opening in areas having low height clearances such as in underground or multistorey car parks or garages.
  • an apparatus for protecting a door comprising a body which is rotatable between a first non-protecting position when the door is closed and a second protecting position when the door is open.
  • the body In the first position, the body may be received within an end or an end face of the door. In the second position, the body may protrude outside of the vehicle door, thereby to protect the door.
  • the body may be arranged to extend from the door, towards the second position during an opening movement of the door and to retract into the door to move towards the first position during a closing movement of the door.
  • the body may arranged to move between the first and second positions during movement of the vehicle door between first and second predetermined angles relative to a closed position of the door.
  • the first predetermined angle may be between 0° and 10°, preferably approximately 5°.
  • the second predetermined angle may be between 20° and 40°, preferably between 20° and 30°, more preferably approximately substantially 25°.
  • the body may be substantially U-shaped.
  • the body may be arranged to rotate about a fixed axis from the first position to the second position during movement of the door.
  • the body may be mechanically linked to a movable mechanism of the door, such that movement of the door causes rotation of the body between the first and second positions.
  • the rate of rotation of the body, and the position thereof relative to the door may be proportional to the rate of movement and the position, respectively, of the door.
  • the body may be coupled to a check link mechanism of the door, movement of the check link mechanism relative to the door during opening or closing movement thereof causing rotation of the body between the first and second positions.
  • the body may be arranged to remain in the first position until the door has moved past the first predetermined angle.
  • the body may be arranged to move from the first to the second position in response to the door moving from the first predetermined angle to the second predetermined angle.
  • the body may be arranged such that no rotation thereof occurs during movement of the door past the second predetermined angle.
  • the body may be rotatably mounted to the door and arranged to rotate about a substantially fixed point from the first position to the second position during an opening movement of the door. The rotation of the body between the first and second positions may be in a generally horizontal plane about a substantially vertical axis.
  • the body may be connected to, and driven by, the check link mechanism of the door, the position of the body relative to the door may be dependant upon the position of the door. Thus, the body moves as the door itself moves. However, there may be a range of movement of the door during which the body does not move. In particular, no movement of the body may occur during initial movement of the door, for example between approximately 0° and 10° from the closed position of the door. In addition, no movement of the body may occur during movement of the door between, say 30° and the fully open position of the door.
  • This restriction of movement of the body advantageously ensures two things: firstly, no movement of the body during the initial opening movement of the door ensures that the body remains fully retracted in the first position, reducing or eliminating the likelihood of the body striking or contacting the vehicle body and breaking; and secondly, the body is sully in the second, protecting position by the time the door is sufficiently open to allow a person to enter or exit the vehicle. It is not necessary for the body to be in the second position when the vehicle door is open by only a few degrees since it is not possible for a person to enter or exit the vehicle anyway.

  • the body 14 is disposed in a generally horizontal attitude within the housing 11 with the arms 14a, 14b directed towards the non- hinged end 13 of the door 12.
  • the body 14 is mounted on a first shaft 16 at an end region of the second arm 14b.
  • the first shaft 16 extends in a substantially vertical direction within the housing and is mounted by means of bearings 17a, 17b ( Figure 3) for rotation relative to the housing 11 and to the door 12 about its longitudinal axis.

  • the first wheel 18 is fixedly attached to the first shaft 16 and is thus rotatable with both the first shaft 16 and the body 14, relative to the door 12.

  • the second shaft 20 is of reduced length compared with the first shaft and is mounted within the housing 11 by means of bearings 21a, 21b ( Figure 3) for rotation about its longitudinal (vertical) axis relative to the door 12.

  • the second wheel 22 is thus arranged to rotate with the second shaft 20 relative to the housing 11 and the door 12.
  • the second wheel 22 is disposed on the second shaft 20 at a vertical position or height which corresponds to the position of the first wheel 18 on the first shaft 16.

  • the arcs of the outer segments ⁇ , ⁇ may join the arc of the intermediate segment by a smooth, curved junction as illustrated or by a well-defined apex or chine.
  • the former solution may be easier to manufacture.
  • the second wheel 22 had a radius which is significantly greater than that of the first wheel.
  • the effect of this is size difference is that for a given angle of rotation of the second wheel 22, the angle of rotation of the first wheel 18 is significantly greater.
  • the diameter of the second wheel 22 is approximately 4.5 times that of the first wheel 18 such that rotation of the second wheel through, for example, 40° causes rotation of the first gear through 180°. The reasons for this are discussed below.
  • the second shaft 20 also carries pivot means, in the form of a relatively short and narrow pivot arm 24 (shown as a dashed line in Figures 1 and 2).
  • An end region of the pivot arm 24 is fixedly mounted on the second shaft 20 at a position on the second shaft 20 adjacent and above the second wheel 22. Since the pivot arm 24 is fixedly attached to the second shaft 20, it is rotatable with the second shaft 20 and the second wheel, relative to both the housing 11 and the door 12.
  • the free end of the pivot arm 24 is pivotally connected to one end of an elongate driving arm 26.
  • the driving arm 26 extends generally horizontally in a longitudinal direction through the door 12, from the housing 11 at the non- hinged end 13 of the door, to the hinged end thereof (not shown).
  • the driving arm 26 connected to the pivot arm 24 extends through an aperture 27 disposed in a rear wall of the housing towards the hinged end of the door (not shown) and is pivotally attached or hinged to the body 50 of the vehicle by means of a hinge 51 at a position which is laterally offset from the hinges 52 by which the door 12 itself is mounted to the vehicle body 50 ( Figure 4).
  • the driving arm 26 may be cranked along its length to ensure that it does not interfere with the downward movement of the window glass (not shown) within the door 12.
  • the driving arm 26 and hinge 51 may be positioned adjacent the bottom of the door 12 such that the driving arm 26 extends within the door 12 at a height which is below the lowest position of the window glass or the window mechanism.
  • the offset nature of the driving arm hinge 51 relative to the door hinges 52 is such that, on normal rotational movement of the door 12 between a closed position and an open position shown by arrow B, the driving arm 26 moves relative to the door 12 in a longitudinal or axial direction shown by arrow A.
  • the driving arm 26 is able to pivot or rotate with the door owing to its hinged connection 51 to the vehicle body 50.
  • the driving arm 26 moves relative thereto in a direction away from the non-hinged end 13 of the door 12. Conversely, when the door is moved from an open position towards a closed position, the driving arm 26 moves relative to the door 12 in a direction towards the non-hinged end 53 of the door 12.
  • the effect of this relative movement between the driving arm 26 and the door 12 as the latter is moved between the closed and open positions is to cause the pivot arm 24 to pivot or rotate relative to the door 12 about a vertical axis defined by the second shaft 20. Rotation of the pivot arm 24 when the door is moving from the closed position towards the open position is clockwise as shown in the drawings. On the other hand, rotation of the pivot arm 24 when the door is moving from the open position towards the closed position is anticlockwise as shown in the drawings.
  • Clockwise rotation of the pivot arm 24 causes corresponding rotation of the second shaft 20, to which the pivot arm 24 is attached, and thus clockwise rotation of the second wheel, also fixedly carried by the second shaft 20.
  • Rotation of the second wheel 22 in the clockwise direction causes rotation of the first wheel 18 in the opposite direction (anti-clockwise in the drawings), the first and second gears being drivingly engaged with one another, as described above.
  • Anti-clockwise rotation of the first wheel 18 causes corresponding rotation of the first shaft 16, to which the first wheel is fixedly attached and hence rotation of the protector body 14, also fixedly carried on the first shaft 16.
  • the centre of rotation of the protector body 14 is offset from its geometrical centre.
  • the rotation of the protector body 14 is eccentric.
  • the body 14 rotates about the axis of the first shaft 16, which movement carries it through a slot 30 formed in the housing 11 and in the non-hinged end 13 of the door 12 so that it effectively extends from without the housing 11 and the end of the door 12.
  • the protector body 14 is rigid so that it does not easily bend or break when it strikes an object. Furthermore, the outer edge of the arm 14a is provided with a protective flexible cover Or cushion 32 to at least partly absorb any impact with an object and to reduce damage to the body itself. The cushion 32 (shown only in Figures 2 and 3) also protects any other vehicle that the door 12 strikes.
  • Rotation of the door 12 towards the closed position causes movement of the driving arm 26 relative to the door 12 in a direction towards the non-hinged end 53 thereof.
  • This movement causes rotational movement of the pivot arm 24 in an anticlockwise direction and thus corresponding anticlockwise rotation of the second shaft 20 and the second wheel 22.
  • the second wheel 22, in driving engagement with the first wheel 18, causes the latter, and hence the first shaft 16 and the protector body 14, to rotate in a clockwise direction.
  • the length and positioning of the pivot arm 24 is selected so that the full range of movement of the driving arm, that is to say movement of the driving arm 26 from a position corresponding to the closed position of the vehicle door 12 to a position corresponding to a fully open position of the door 12, causes rotation of the second wheel 22 through an angle of approximately 120°.
  • the vehicle doors generally have a maximum opening angle of 60°, it follows that for every 1° of rotation of the door 12, the pivot arm 24 and hence the second wheel 22 will rotate through approximately 2°. It will also be appreciated that this 120° rotation of the second wheel must, in turn, cause the first wheel 18 to rotate through at least 180° in order to rotate the body 14 by a corresponding amount. It can be shown that this can be achieved by providing the second wheel 22 with a radius that is approximately 1.5 times greater than that of the first wheel 18.
  • the second wheel 22 may have a radius that is more than 1.5 times greater than that of the first wheel 18. The reason for this is that it may be desirable to ensure that the body 14 does not begin to rotate out of the housing 11 until the door 12 has rotated about a first predetermined angle following initial opening movement of the door.
  • the body 14 itself does not begin to rotate until the non-hinged end 13 of the door 12 has cleared, or substantially cleared, the body or B-pillar of the vehicle (not shown).
  • the body 14 does not begin to rotate until the door 12 itself has rotated through an angle of between approximately 5°. This "delay" or “dead band” ensures that the body 14 does not obstruct the movement of the door 12 by extending from the housing 11 and catching on the vehicle body.
  • the body 14 may be desirable for the body 14 to have rotated fully to the second position, in which it is able to protect the outer skin of the door, by the time the door 12 has rotated about a second predetermined angle.
  • the body 14 has rotated through 180° to its second position, i.e. its maximum extension, when the door 12 has rotated through an angle of approximately 25°. Further rotation of the door 12 towards the open position does not cause any further rotation of the body.
  • This second "dead band" ensures that the protector body is fully in its protecting position by the time the door 12 is opened sufficiently to allow a person to enter or exit the vehicle.
  • the arcuate length of the intermediate segment ⁇ is such that movement of the door 12 between the first predetermined angle (5°) and the second predetermined angle, for example 25°, causes rotation of the first gear through 180°.
  • the arc of the intermediate segment ⁇ may subtend an angle of approximately 40°.
  • the recessed curved edge of the second outer segment ⁇ on the second wheel 22 does not contact with the first wheel 18 so that no further rotation of the first wheel 18 or the body 14 occurs.
  • rotation of the body 14 occurs only during a limited range of rotation of the door 12.
  • rotation of the body 14 from the first, non protecting position in which it is disposed within the door 12 itself, to the second, protecting position, through substantially 180° occurs during rotation of the door 12 between the first and second predetermined angles, a rotation of approximately 20°.
  • the angle between the first and second predetermined angles can be selected as desired. This arrangement ensures that, on opening of the door, the protector body 14 does not contact the body of the vehicle and is fully extended by the time the vehicle door 12 has opened sufficiently to let a person in or out.
  • the protector body 14 is always sufficiently retracted into the housing 11 to ensure that it does not become trapped between the door 12 and the vehicle body. It will be understood that the precise sizes, lengths and angles and positions of the elements within the housing 11, and the size and shape of the housing itself, will be dependent upon the vehicle to which the apparatus is fitted. For example, as illustrated, it may be desirable to position the first shaft in a more forward position than the second shaft 16 to reduce the required size of the protector body 14 and to create a more compact apparatus.
  • the second wheel is not generally circular but segment- shaped the segment subtending, for example, an angle of 120°, since the remaining curved edge of the wheel 22 is not used.
  • the recessed first outer segment ⁇ may not be required if there is sufficient clearance between the end 13 of the door 12 and the vehicle body. In this case, rotation of the protector body 12 can be initiated as soon as the door 12 is moved.
  • the enclosure 23 is included only to provide a surface on which to mount the bearing 21a in order to reduce the length of the second shaft 20. It is possible for the second shaft to extend between the upper and lower walls of the housing 11, in a manner similar to the first shaft. However, here the position and size of the body 14 may have to be selected to ensure that the second shaft does not interfere with its movement.
  • the driving arm 26 could be formed from an extension to the conventional check link arm which is provided on the door of the vehicle, the arrangement of which will be well understood by the skilled person.
  • the extension may be cranked or bent to ensure that it does not interfere with the window glass or mechanism.
  • the complete apparatus may be located mounted within a housing to define a module for mounting within the vehicle door, as illustrated.
  • the door may be provided with an appropriate recess within which the module may be mounted, if desired.
  • a cover or blanking plate may be provided to cover the aperture in the event that the module is not to be fitted to the vehicle.
  • the mechanism may be provided as an optional or aftermarket accessory.
  • a quick connect mechanism may be provided such that the pivot arm is automatically connected to the driving arm when the module is inserted into the recess within the door. This is particularly advantageous where the driving arm, or the extension to the check link arm, is fitted as standard to the vehicle.
  • Such a quick connect mechanism may be provided by means of a ball-hitch type connector as illustrated in Figure 6.
  • the driving arm 26 does not extend fully to the pivot arm 24. Instead, it is shortened and is provided at its end with a ball-hitch 40.
  • An elongate connecting piece 42 is pivotally connected to the pivot arm 24, as described with respect to the driving arm 26 in Figures 1 to 3, and terminates at its free end with a ball-hitch socket 44.
  • the module comprising the housing 11 and the apparatus 10, is inserted into the recess within the door 12. Insertion in this manner causes the ball-hitch 40 to engage with and connect to the ball-hitch socket 44 without further manual intervention.
  • the ball hitch connector permits lateral (horizontal) pivoting movement of the driving arm 26 relative to the connecting piece 42 but not vertical pivoting movement nor longitudinal relative movement.
  • movement of the driving arm in the direction shown by the arrow A causes corresponding movement of the connecting piece 42 and hence the rotational movement of the shafts and wheels described above.
