Definitions

• the invention relates to an activator for the operation of the mechanism of a protective device, which serves to protect the vehicle door edges against damage when opening the vehicle door.
• Document US4221411 describes a device for protecting the vehicle door surface.
• This protective device comprises an activator and a mechanism which serves to cover and protect the doors.
• the activator is connected to the mechanism and actuates the extension of the protection device from the retracted non-use position to the extended use position, in which the protective device of the mechanism protects the vehicle door.
• the activator comprises a rod, which is biased by a spring and with one end against the body wall. By opening the door, the distance between the hinge-side door wall and the body frame increases. This shifts the rod of the activator and the protective device of the mechanism moves from the retracted non-use position in the extended position of use.
• the invention relates to an activator for the operation of the mechanism of a protective device, which serves to protect the vehicle door edges against damage when opening the vehicle door.
• the activator is disposed on the hinge-side vehicle door wall.
• the activator for operating the mechanism of the vehicle door protection mechanism includes an actuator disk, a finger, and a slide member having a rack.
• this protective device is set at the first extension so that the bar of the protection device surrounds the door edge at the desired door opening angle, with an opening angle of 11 ° appears to be advantageous.
• the finger must rest against the bodywork panel so that the finger touches the body panel without a play. It is therefore necessary for the finger to touch the body panel from the position when the door is fully closed (0 °) to the door opening angle (11 °) for extending the guard.
• This desired door opening angle appears to be advantageous for the extension of the protective device, ie, so that the protective strip of the protective device surrounds the vehicle door edge.
• the present invention is therefore based on the object to compensate for the inaccuracy of the vehicle body in the initial zero position in such a way that the finger of the activator touches the bodywork sheet without play.
• the distance ie the clearance between the finger of the activator and the body panel, is compensated by the rotation of the finger along a helical line or the threaded portion of the rod of the sliding part.
• the sliding part of the activator comprises a rod having a threaded portion and an end portion. Furthermore, the finger of the activator on a cap and a sleeve, in which an internal thread is formed. The finger of the activator is then screwed onto the threaded portion of the rod of the sliding part. The finger of the activator is freely screwed on the threaded portion of the rod, wherein the internal thread of the sleeve of the finger of the activator is self-locking. This means that the more the finger is screwed onto the rod of the sliding part, the greater force is necessary for the screwing operation, ie by screwing the finger is tightened.
• the distance x i. the distance between the pinion of the actuating disk and the end portion of the sliding part identical.
• the actuating disc is connected by means of a Bowden cable with the door edge protection device, which is actuated by means of the Bowden cable (not shown).
• the pinion of the actuating disc does not move on the rack of the sliding part and the position of the tensioned Bowden cable, which is attached to the actuating disc, does not change, so that the door edge protection device always remains in the retracted non-use position.
• any mechanism of the protective device can be actuated, which is designed for operation by means of Bowden cable or drawbar.
• the distance y ie the distance between the cap of the finger and the sliding part must be changed.
• the change of the Distance y is therefore necessary so that the gap a, which represents the serial inaccuracy (play) of the body, is closed.
• the distance a ie the distance between the cap of the finger of the activator and the support portion of the body panel, is eliminated by turning the finger on the rod of the sliding member to the position where the finger of the activator touches the body panel without a clearance ,
• the distance y is increased by this movement of the finger by the distance a.
• a locking portion is formed between the cap and the sleeve of the finger of the activator.
• This locking portion connects the cap to the sleeve.
• the locking portion of the finger comprises elastic lamellae, between which the detent grooves are formed.
• the end portion of the rod of the sliding part of the activator comprises the locking pin. These locking pins engage in the locking grooves of the locking portion of the activator.
• the locking pins have the necessary projection, that is, that the imaginary circle formed by these locking pins has a larger diameter than the circle formed by the inner surface of the slats.
• This supernatant is necessary so that the engagement in the joints is made possible.
• This projection can damage the lamellae or the locking pins when turning the finger. Therefore, the slats are made elastic.
• the projection is made so large that the blades or the locking pins are not damaged when turning the finger and at the same time in the position of use, when the mechanism of the protective device is actuated by the activator, no spontaneous rotational movement of the finger on the rod of the sliding part by the action the support area of the body panel occurs, which would screw the finger.
• the pivoting and adjustment of the finger in the desired position when the finger touches the reinforced support area of the body panel can be made with a combination pliers, a suitable key or any other similar tool.
• FIG. 1 shows the activator of the door edge protection device for a vehicle door in the initial zero position with the finger in the position before the setting
• Fig. 2 shows the activator of the door edge protection device for a vehicle door with the finger in the position after the adjustment
• the FIG. 3 shows the activator of the door edge protection device for a vehicle door in the position of use
• FIG. 4 shows in a sectional view AA the finger of the activator screwed onto the rod of the sliding part of the activator
• FIG. 5 shows the sliding part of the activator itself
• FIG shows the finger of the activator itself.
• Figs. 1 to 3 show the activator I, which serves to actuate the mechanism of a door edge protection device for a vehicle door.
• the activator _1 is arranged on the hinge-side vehicle door wall 9.
• the activator 1 comprises an actuating disk 2, a finger 4 and a sliding part 3, which has a rack 6.
• the sliding part 3 is actuated by a compression spring (not shown) which can be arranged in the rear portion of the sliding part 3.
• the actuating disk 2 is connected by means of a Bowden cable with the door edge protection device, which is actuated by this Bowden cable.
• the Bowden cable is fastened to the rear, remote side of the actuating disk 2 (not shown).
• the actuating disk 2 comprises a pinion 5, which is arranged on the rack 6 of the sliding part 3.
• the pinion 5 moves on the rack 6 by the action of the movement of the sliding part 3, whereby the operation disc 2 (Fig. 3) is rotated.
• the actuating disc of the Bowden cable is moved, which actuates the mechanism of the door edge protection device for a vehicle door.
• the mechanism of the protective device then adjusts the protective strip of the door edge from the retracted position to the extended position and vice versa.
• the activator 1 is in the initial zero position, ie when the activator 1 is in a stable position.
• the position of the tensioned Bowden cable, which is attached to the actuating disc 2 does not change, so that the door edge protection device always remains in the retracted non-use position.
• the sliding part 3 of the activator 1 comprises a rod 0, which has a threaded portion 1_1 and an end portion 12.
• the end portion 12 of the rod 10 of the sliding part 3 comprises the locking pin 19th
• the finger 4 of the activator 1, a cap 18 and a sleeve 13, in which an internal thread 14 is formed.

• the latching pins 19 arranged in the latching joints 17 have the necessary projection relative to the blades 16, as shown in FIG. 4. This projection is necessary so that the engagement of the locking pin 19 is made possible in the locking grooves 17.
• the fins 16 are made elastic.
• the supernatant is formed so large that the blades 16 or locking pin 19 are not damaged during rotation of the finger 4 and at the same time in the position of use when the mechanism of the protective device is actuated by the activator 1, no spontaneous rotational movement of the finger 4 on the rod 10th of the sliding part 3 by the action of the support portion 8 of the body panel 7 when closing the vehicle door 9 occurs, which would screw the finger 4.
• the actual adjustment of the finger 4 is carried out such that at the desired opening angle of the vehicle door 9 the distance, ie the clearance between the finger 4 of the activator 1 and the support portion 8 of the body panel 7 by the rotation of the finger 4 along the helix of the screw, ie the threaded portion 1_1 of the rod 10 of the sliding part. 3 is compensated.
• the compensation of the distance takes place in the initial zero position, ie when the mechanism is in a stable position, in such a way that the adjustment takes place only by the finger 4 of the activator 1.
• the compensation of the distance is made because of the necessary adjustment of the distance y, i. E. the distance between the cap 18 of the finger 4 and the sliding part 3, as Figs. 1 and 2 show.
