FIELD The present invention relates to a baie of a motor vehicle. More particularly, the present invention is a closing device of an opening which is steered in a vehicle body or in an automobile door and which includes a sliding movable, which releases or closes the steered opening in such a device.

Typically, in order to close the opening of a vehicle on a car, commercial vehicle, truck, bus or railway carriage, it is associated with a window pane held by a connecting frame. The connecting frame is divided into an inner part and an outer part, which together with the airtight packing, simultaneously tighten the edges of the pane and the openings being steered in the body.

Recent well-known techniques for opening and closing the panes of the doors make it movable vertically in the appropriate plane while exiting or penetrating from the packing or body of the door. In addition, horizontal sliding panels along rails formed in the frame are known.

Other techniques have been proposed by the applicant of this patent application. Such techniques are described in particular in the patent publications of EP-0,778,168 and EP-0,857,844. The closure device presented herein (hereinafter referred to as " flush opening ") includes a stationary assembly and a movable portion for the stationary assembly. The movable part is connected to the fixed assembly by means of an operating member fitted to the face of the fixed part that forms the required movable and which rotates towards the interior of the vehicle.

Such "flush" openings can all be mounted independently of the motor vehicle and fit in a housing partitioned from the outside to the motor vehicle body. It can also be integrated by adhesion to the bottom of the door, in particular by the technique described in the patent publication of EP 1 022 172.

In aesthetic sense, the "flush" opening is flush with the car body due to the fact that no frame is required, giving a smooth appearance from the outside.

In order to obtain sliding of the movable part, which is generally composed of a transparent panel, it comprises for example a first and a second guide rail fixedly mounted on the fixing assembly (or fixing structure) of the opening on both sides of the opening closed by the movable panel. Provide a guide device. It is mounted on the rail for sliding along the sliding side in the longitudinal direction between one (or a plurality of) open positions and an intermediate position of the discharge opposite and departed from the opening.

The present invention relates to a variant thereof and to a type of closure device referred to as "flush opening" in its improvement. Thus, the present invention includes the displacement y between the intermediate position and the open position of the discharge in a plane parallel to the plane of the fixing assembly and the displacement x in the parallel plane.

Several solutions have been proposed for the locking of the movable panel in the closed position and in some cases in the selected open position. These solutions are of little ergonomics and / or practicality, in particular they must be treated with a tightening force, for example in order to obtain a lock.

Among them, EP 1,659,247 shows one or more bolts which cooperate with a keeper formed on the support member and / or the guide member, the keeper having one or more sloped shapes, so that the passage from the locked position to the unlocked position of the locking means is prevented. Techniques for driving the passage of the movable panel of the first face towards the second face or vice versa are disclosed. Two bolts can be presented to effectively lock the movable panel at the top and bottom.

This approach is effective for the working side. On the other hand, this approach is hardly ergonomic since the displacement of the bolt is perpendicular to the sliding axis, which will not be easy to operate. This would be more realistic if you provided two bolts.

In particular, it is an object of the present invention to solve the disadvantages of the prior art.

More specifically, the present invention proposes a closing device of a sliding panel of an opening that simplifies the opening and closing operation of the sliding panel, and a closing device in a closed position and, if necessary, in an open position.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a closing device of the opening which is reliably and easily lockable, unlockable and slidable.

Thus, a particular object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of easily controlling the sliding of the movable panel in whatever direction of displacement (open or closed).

Accordingly, the present invention seeks to provide a closing device for an opening that is simple to implement, for mounting on a door or a motor vehicle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of closing an opening which maintains the advantages of the "flush opening" already developed by the applicant of the present application, in particular the following advantages:

Flat aesthetic features;

Aerodynamic characteristics;

-Ease of manufacture and cost reduction;

-Ease of assembly and cost reduction.

This and other objects set out below are achieved by a locking device of the sliding panel of the vehicle, which is movable with respect to the fixing structure, which device comprises at least one bolt which cooperates with at least one supplemental locking member provided in the fixing structure. And may be displaced along the lock axis to pass from an unlocked state that enables sliding of the sliding panel to a locked state that cooperates with a supplemental locking member for preventing sliding or vice versa.

It is characterized by being able to take three or more positions.

Thus, the displacement of the movable panel in two sliding directions can be adjusted simply and effectively. In order to displace the movable panel in one direction or the other, it is sufficient to move the panel in the desired direction after it is operated in the actuating means and without mitigating it.

Thus, the panel can be released in the same operation of the operation button, thereby obtaining a simple and efficient system that can be slid.

The system can be released in two opposite directions, allowing the panel to slide on the right as well as on the left. Of course, the term "left / right" should be interpreted to represent "in two directions" and the sliding can also be carried out vertically and more generally along all directions and all sides.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the actuation button cooperates with the transmission means acting on the bolt (s) and comprising two connecting members for each bolt, wherein the first connecting member is active in the left release position and the second connecting member Is active in the release position on the right.

And at least one release carrier acting on the connecting means for displacing and driving and being translatable along the displacement axis substantially perpendicular to the lock axis and substantially parallel to the plane defined by the sliding panel.

Thus, a simple and efficient mechanism is provided for forming a release capable of operating in two directions corresponding to two possible directions for sliding.

The transmission means advantageously comprise one or more cables.

In this case, each release carrier preferably comprises a passage of one or more cables through which the cable (s) can slide. This can effectively guide the cable (s).

According to an advantageous embodiment, each release carrier is operated by a finger integral with the control button.

In this case, the control button performs a rotational movement of the finger along the axis of rotation substantially parallel to the lock axis.

Such a device preferably comprises two release carriers displaced in opposite directions. This can amplify the displacement of the cable (s).

In certain embodiments of the invention, the device comprises two bolts distributed on both sides of the release carrier.

In this case, the connecting means advantageously comprise two parallel cables connected to each of the two bolts, respectively, by one end of it and by another end of the fastening member.

The device, in particular the carrier (s), comprises means for spacing the cables from each other to prevent any friction between them.

This can prevent friction, wear and malfunction.

Each bolt preferably cooperates with repeating means that tend to return from the locked state. The grip is also returned from the rest position corresponding to the locked state.

According to a third embodiment, each bolt is integral with the first end of the cable and the second end is driven by a drive gear that allows the bolt to pass from the locked state to the unlocked state, the drive gear being connected to the actuation button. It works by

Other features and advantages of the present invention will be understood from the following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, with reference to the examples presented as non-limiting examples and the accompanying drawings.

As can be seen above, the general principle of the present invention is to create a separate operable grip, in particular in two directions for release, and then to slide in one direction or the other of the movable panel.

1 shows a closing device of an opening provided in a vehicle body by creating a locking device according to the present invention. It comprises a fixing assembly 11 mounted with a movable panel 12 which is slidable along rails 13 and 14 mounted on the top and bottom of the fixing assembly 11. This rail is connected to a fixed assembly toward the inside of the vehicle in the plane of rotation.

Movable panel 12, which is flat glass, comprises two bolts that cooperate with the upper rail 13 and the lower rail 14, respectively. The grip 15 can simultaneously control two bolts as described in detail below. Of course, it can be practiced by the invention at the top or at the bottom using a single bolt.

The device is mounted such that the locking / unlocking movement of each bolt is in the plane parallel to the movable panel and in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the panel is movable in the horizontal direction and the lock / unlock movement is in the vertical direction.

In this embodiment, the locking device of the present invention has two actuations at the top and bottom of the movable panel 12, respectively, such that the rails 13 and 14 cooperate directly or by one or a plurality of keepers partitioned at each rail. Includes two bolts.

A keeper is provided in particular with respect to the closed position of the movable panel, but to define one or a plurality of predetermined open positions. In this case in particular, it is important that they can be displaced separately in one or the other direction of the panel, for example for closing or larger opening. The approach of the invention can be slid in one direction or the other by adjusting the release on the grip (or taken alone).

Three types of embodiments are described below.

1. The first Example

2 illustrates in more detail the mechanism of the present invention in certain embodiments. The operation button (or grip) 15 is rotatably mounted around the rotation shaft 121 and is movable to the left side 122 and the right side 123. The housing 124 is partitioned in the frame 125 of the movable panel 12, so that the grip is advantageously at about the same height as the rest of the frame.

Various "designs" can be considered for the grip as needed. In particular, areas 126 and 127 may be considered to assist in catching.

On the other side of the frame, the buttons act on two bolts as illustrated in FIG. Two bolts 131 and 132 are disposed in the frame 125 and mounted to cooperate with the respective rails 113 and 114. Such a rail may represent a keeper provided to cooperate with the bolt in all positions, or provided in a plurality of intermediate positions or at least in the closed position of the movable panel.

More specifically, the button 15 acts on a connecting rod, referred to as a grip connecting rod 133, which generates a rotational movement, or acts on two cams 134 and 135 superimposed (ie dividing the same axis).

The cam 134 is connected to the bolt 131 by two rods 136 and 137 mounted to steer the operation of the bolt as the grip is displaced in one direction or the other. The bolt 132 is symmetrically connected to the cam 135 by two rods 138 and 139.

In another embodiment, the rod can be replaced by another connecting means such as a cable.

As can be seen in FIGS. 4A-C, each cam 134 is a circular arc that circulates two projections 142 and 143 connected to two rods 136 and 137, respectively. An opening at 141. At rest, i.e. in the locked position (Fig. 4 (a)), the two projections 142 and 143 are present, supported at one of the ends of the opening 141, respectively.

On the other hand, the cam 134 has, at its circumference, a finger 144 provided to slide in a rectangular opening 145 formed in the grip connecting rod 133.

As can be seen in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c), when the grip connecting rod 133 is displaced by rotation around the axis 146, the opening 145 displaces the finger 144. And rotationally drive the cam 134. The protrusion 143 is pulled by the opening 141. As a result, the rod 137 pulls the bolt 131. In the supported state (FIG. 4C), the bolt 131 is released, ie away from the keeper and / or rail.

Note that the second protrusion 142 is displaced at the opening 141 but is inactive. Of course, when the grip is displaced in the other direction, the protrusion 142 acts the same by the rod 136.

5 (a) to 5 (c) show the gradual release of the bolts 131 and 132 as the grip connecting rod 133 is displaced (arrow 151).

6 (a) and 6 (b) show schematic diagrams of the working principle of the present invention. These figures illustrate the operation of a single bolt 131. In fact, as indicated above, the mechanism of the present invention is practiced to control the operation of a single bolt or two bolts distributed on both sides of the grip, for example the top and bottom of the panel.

Bolt 131 is connected to rods 136 and 137 by piece 161, which piece 161 comprises reinforcement means 162 on the one hand and repeating spring 163 on the other hand 131 and on the other hand against a support fixing member 164 provided in the frame of the opening. The spring 163 is compressed when the bolt is in the unlocked position (FIG. 6 (b)) and tends to return the bolt from the locked position when no action is applied on the grip connecting rod 133 (FIG. 6 (a)).

When the connecting rod 133 is displaced by the user (arrow 165), the protrusion 143 is driven by the opening 141, and the cam is displaced along the arrow 166. Displacement 167 of the projection 143 is maintained at the other end of the rod 137 (arrow 168), and thus is at the same height as the projection (arrow 169), which causes the release.

According to the above figure, it is clear that the above movement is symmetrical and the same effect is obtained even when the grip is displaced in the other direction.

As soon as the user slows the grip, the repeating spring 163 tends to return the bolt 131 in the locked position (Fig. 6 (a)). The reinforcement means 162 acts on the two rods 136 and 137 to return from the initial position, which drives the return of the grip in the initial position (described vertically in the embodiment).

2. Second Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 7, which illustrates a part of the frame of the movable panel with a locking device, two bolts 221 and 222 are connected to the release means 225 by one or more cables 223, 224. The release means 225 comprise two carriers 2251, 2252 movably mounted in translational motion on the guide rails 2253, 2254. The translation axis defined by the rails 2253, 2254 is perpendicular to the axis passing through the two bolts 221, 222. Thus, the displacement of the two carriers 2251 and 2252 drives the cables 223 and 224 due to the chicane effect, which tends to pull on the cables when they are displaced to release the bolts 221 and 222. Let's go.

Guide means 2255 and 2256 of the cable are held by a frame that maintains a straight line excluding release means 225. In addition, when there are a plurality of cables, they are not touched. In fact, in order to limit malfunction and wear due to any friction, it is important to prevent contact between cables.

8A and 8B show the release means 225 in detail. 9 (a) and 9 (b) are enlarged views of the circled portions of Figs. 8 (a) and 8 (b), respectively.

By no action, i.e. when no action is exerted by the user and in the locked position corresponding to the position by the release means 225, the carriers 2251 and 2252 are shown in FIGS. It exists in the position shown by b).

In the illustrated embodiment, two cables 231 and 232 are provided that are integral to each of the two bolts 221 and 222. In other embodiments, the cable is integral with the intermediate member connected to the bolt by means of connecting means. In addition, a single cable may be provided. It may also be provided that one of the ends of each cable is connected to the fixing structure of the frame of the movable panel.

As is apparent from FIG. 9 (a), each carrier is capable of easy assembly and can accommodate cables 231, 232 and be sufficiently spaced apart to prevent contact therebetween ( 241, 242).

The carrier further includes a housing 243 for receiving a finger 244 or grip 15 that is integral with the release actuation button.

In the resting state (Fig. 8 (a)), the cables 231 and 232 are straight. When acting on an actuation button or on grip 233, fingers 244 and 245 drive carriers 2251 and 2252 in a direction perpendicular to the axis partitioned by two bolts (by rails 2253 and 2254). Let's do it.

This displacement extends the path of the cable, thus bringing it closer to the bolts 221 and 222 to form a release. When the grip 233 is loosened, the repeating springs 234 and 235 connected to the bolts 221 and 222 respectively drive the return in the locked position shown in Fig. 8A.

10 (a) and 10 (b) show an operation schematic of the present invention, in which case the bolt 221 alone is briefly shown. This can be easily generalized to two bolts as illustrated in the figure above.

At rest, i.e. in the locked position shown in Fig. 10 (a), the cable 251 is straight and its trajectory is not deformed by the carriers 2251 and 2252. The cable is connected by bolts 221 to one of its ends and to the other of the ends of the frame of the movable panel 252 by a flexible repeating spring 253 of the cable.

In addition, pions 254 and 255 formed in the frame of the panel are provided to guide the cable 251 and to allow the displacement of the bolts to allow the cable's sneak effect as shown in FIG. 10 (b). do.

In Fig. 10 (b), the carriers 2251 and 2252 are displaced in opposite directions to drive the cable 251 with a chicane effect which forms the release of the bolt 221 (arrow 256). A repeating spring 257 of the bolt acts on the bolt to return towards the locked position (Fig. 10 (a)). Thus, if there is no actuation on the actuation button, the bolt 221 pulls the cable 251, which returns the carriers 2251 and 2252, thus returning the actuation button in the locked position.

A number of actuation buttons are provided that act on the carriers 2251 and 2252. One example is shown in FIG. In addition, in Fig. 11 (a) and (b) are shown from the outside in the locked position and unlocked position, respectively. This actuation button comprises two pallets 261, 262 rotatably mounted mounted about an axis parallel to the cable 251 in the locked position. In addition, fingers 244 and 245 are rotationally displaced along their axis.

At rest (FIG. 11 (a)), the two pallets 261 and 262 are on the same side, which advantageously resides in the plane defined by the frame 263 of the panel. In order to release the panel, the user brings the two pallets closer together as shown in Fig. 11 (b). Thus, in the same movement, the movable panel can slide to the left as well as to the right (or towards the top and bottom or in all other directions depending on the type of implementation). This technique enables release and sliding in the same operation.

Other mechanisms for actuating the carrier, such as translation of the actuating button or rotation along an axis perpendicular to the axis partitioned by the cable, can also be reliably considered.

Note, however, that the present invention may use a single carrier or, depending on the case, may use two carriers along a particularly essential route.

3. Third embodiment

As illustrated in FIG. 12, which shows a part of the frame of the movable panel with the release device, two bolts 321 and 322 are connected to the release means 325 by one or more cables 323, 324.

This release means 325 also comprises a gear system comprising three gear members 3251, 3252 and 3253, also simply called gears. Gear 3251, which is a drive gear, includes two gear sectors capable of rotational operation, and lead gears 3252 and 3253 are connected to cables 323 and 324.

Thus, when the drive gear 3251 rotates, the lead gears 3252 and 3253 are driven at the same time and in reverse rotation to pull the respective cables, creating release of the bolts 321 and 322.

13A and 13B show respective release means 325 in the locked position and in the unlocked position.

Each lead gear 3252 and 3253 includes connecting pulley members 331, 332 at one end of the cable (323 and 324, respectively) in the moved plane. These members 331 and 332 represent the guide grooves of the cable of the circular arc as shown in Fig. 13B.

Rotational displacements of the lead gears 3252 and 3253 are formed by rotation of the drive gear 3251, where the displacement is controlled by fingers 333 and 334 or actuation buttons 335 integral with the grip.

As shown in FIG. 12, cables 323 and 324 are connected to bolts 321 and 322 by their other ends. In the position of FIG. 13 (b), cables 323 and 324 are pulled, which releases the corresponding bolts. More specifically, the displacement of the operation button 335 (arrows 336 and 337) drives the displacement of the drive gear (arrow 337) by the fingers 333 and 334, and thus the cable by the lead gears 3252 and 3253. Displacements (arrows 338 and 339) of 323 and 324 are driven.

Bolts 321 and 322 are connected to a repeating spring, not shown, which tends to return from the locked position. Thus, if there is no actuation on grip 335, the spring will act on cables 323 and 324 to return them to the position shown in FIG. 13 (a). The cable drives the lead gears 3252 and 3253, which in turn drives the drive gears 3251, fingers 333 and 334, and finally the grip 335. Further, a guide member of the fixing cable by the frame of the movable panel (not shown) may be provided.

A number of actuation buttons may be provided to act on the drive gear by fingers 333, 334. Examples thereof are shown in Figs. 14A and 14B, which are locked positions and released positions, respectively. The actuation button comprises two pallets 361, 362 which are rotatably mounted mounted about an axis parallel to the cable in the locked position. In addition, fingers 333 and 334 are rotatable along these axes.

At rest (FIG. 14 (a)), the two pallets 361 and 362 are on the same side, which is advantageously in the plane partitioned by the frame 363 of the panel. To release the panel, the user brings the two pallets closer together as shown in Fig. 14 (b). Thus, in the same movement, the movable panel can slide not only to the right but also to the left. This technique can be released and sliding in the same operation.

Other mechanisms for actuating the carrier are also possible, such as translation of the actuation button, or rotation of the button along an axis perpendicular to the axis partitioned by the cable.

The closure device of the present invention is reliably and easily lockable, unlockable and slideable, and can easily control sliding of the movable panel in any direction of displacement (open or closed), and its implementation is simple.
