Description

DISPOSITIF DE SUPPORT D'UNE VITRE SUR UN LEVE-VITRE DE PORTE DE VEHICULE DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING A WINDOW ON A VEHICLE DOOR WINDOW
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de support d'une vitre sur un lève-vitre de porte de véhicule, comportant au moins une pince à deux mâchoires de serrage de la vitre, adaptées pour enserrer le bord inférieur de celle-ci, une contre-plaque prolongeant latéralement une mâchoire sensiblement dans le plan de celle-ci, un curseur profilé pour pouvoir coulisser sur un rail de guidage du lève-vitre, et des moyens pour solidariser le curseur et la contre-plaque.The present invention relates to a device for supporting a window on a vehicle door window regulator, comprising at least one clamp with two jaws for clamping the window, adapted to grip the lower edge thereof, a counter plate laterally extending a jaw substantially in the plane thereof, a profiled slider to be able to slide on a guide rail of the window regulator, and means for securing the slider and the counter plate.
De préférence le lève-vitre comporte deux rails de guidage à chacun desquels est associé un dispositif de support de la vitre. L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de support de vitre, dont l'assemblage de la contre-plaque et du curseur soit aisé et présente un encombrement réduit en direction transversale.Preferably the window regulator comprises two guide rails to each of which is associated a device for supporting the window. The object of the invention is to propose a glass support device, the assembly of the counterplate and the slider of which is easy and has a reduced bulk in the transverse direction.
Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif de support de vitre est caractérisé en ce que dans le curseur est ménagé un dégagement adapté pour recevoir la contre-plaque, en ce que cette dernière est munie de pattes latérales adaptées pour pouvoir glisser jusqu'à une position de butée, sur des rampes de retenue du curseur formées latéralement audit dégagement et en ce que des moyens sont prévus pour verrouiller la contre-plaque dans sa position en butée sur le curseur. L'assemblage de la contre-plaque et du curseur se fait donc en appliquant tout d'abord la contre-plaque dans sa position initiale sur le curseur, puis en la faisant coulisser dans le dégagement de celui-ci jusqu'à ce que ses pattes latérales , glissant sous les rampes d'accrochage du curseur, viennent en butée. Suivant un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le curseur présente un évidement central dans lequel est agencé un organe de verrouillage de la contre-plaque, les bords du dégagement sont pourvus chacun d'au moins une rampe sous laquelle peut s'engager et glisser une patte associée de la contre-plaque, et cette rampe est prolongée par une butée transversale d'arrêt de la patte.According to the invention, the glass support device is characterized in that in the cursor is provided a clearance adapted to receive the counterplate, in that the latter is provided with lateral tabs adapted to be able to slide up to a stop position, on slider retaining ramps formed laterally at said clearance and in that means are provided for locking the counterplate in its position in abutment on the cursor. The assembly of the backplate and the slider is therefore done by first applying the backplate in its initial position on the slider, then sliding it in the clearance of the latter until its side tabs, sliding under the slider hooking ramps, come into abutment. According to one embodiment of the invention, the cursor has a central recess in which is arranged a locking member of the counterplate, the edges of the clearance are each provided with at least one ramp under which can engage and slide an associated tab of the counterplate, and this ramp is extended by a transverse stop stop of the tab.

Figure 8 is a simplified perspective view of a second embodiment of the support device according to the invention.
Le lève-vitre partiellement représenté à la figure 1 comprend deux rails 1 de guidage du déplacement d'une vitre 2 sur deux dispositifs 3 de support de cette vitre le long des rails 1 , disposés parallèlement l'un à l'autre dans un plan sensiblement vertical.The window regulator partially shown in Figure 1 comprises two rails 1 for guiding the movement of a window 2 on two devices 3 for supporting this window along the rails 1, arranged parallel to each other in a plane substantially vertical.
Ce lève-vitre, destiné à équiper une porte de véhicule non représentée, comprend de manière connue deux câbles 4, 5 d'entraînement d'un curseur 6 de chaque dispositif de support 3, de façon connue en soi. Le lève-vitre est complété par un moteur d'entraînement des câbles 4, 5 et par des organes de renvoi des câbles, situés aux extrémités des rails 1 , ces éléments étant connus en soi et non représentés.This window regulator, intended to equip a vehicle door not shown, comprises in known manner two cables 4, 5 for driving a slider 6 of each support device 3, in a manner known per se. The window regulator is completed by a motor for driving the cables 4, 5 and by cable return members, situated at the ends of the rails 1, these elements being known per se and not shown.
Chaque dispositif 3 de support de la vitre 2 comprend une pince 7 à deux, mâchoires 8 de serrage de la vitre 2, adaptées pour enserrer le bord inférieur 2a de la vitre 2. Une contre-plaque 9 prolonge latéralement une mâchoire 8 sensiblement dans le plan de celle-ci, et le curseur correspondantEach device 3 for supporting the window 2 comprises a clamp 7 with two, jaws 8 for tightening the window 2, adapted to grip the lower edge 2a of the window 2. A counter plate 9 laterally extends a jaw 8 substantially in the map of it, and the corresponding cursor
6 présente une fente 33 (Figure 5) dans laquelle peut être enserré un élément complémentaire du rail 1. Dans le curseur 6 est en outre agencé un logement 32 de réception d'un grain d'accrochage du câble d'entraînement 4, 5 correspondant. Entre les deux mâchoires 8 est introduit un profilé souple 1 1 en U dont les bords 1 1 a sont accrochés sur les extrémités supérieures des mâchoires 8 et dans lequel vient s'insérer le bord inférieur 2a de la vitre 2 (figure 3). Les mâchoires 8 sont réalisées et assemblées de manière connue en soi, au moyen d'un boulon 12 traversant les deux mâchoires 8 et fixé en place par un écrou 13 (figure 5).6 has a slot 33 (Figure 5) in which a complementary element of the rail 1 can be clamped. In the slider 6 is also arranged a housing 32 for receiving a hooking grain of the corresponding drive cable 4, 5 . Between the two jaws 8 is introduced a flexible section 1 1 in U whose edges 1 1 a are hooked on the upper ends of the jaws 8 and into which is inserted the lower edge 2a of the window 2 (Figure 3). The jaws 8 are produced and assembled in a manner known per se, by means of a bolt 12 passing through the two jaws 8 and fixed in place by a nut 13 (FIG. 5).
Selon l'agencement illustré à la figure 1 , le dispositif de support 3 de l'avant de la vitre 2 (dispositif de gauche) est monté de telle sorte que la pinceAccording to the arrangement illustrated in Figure 1, the support device 3 of the front of the window 2 (left device) is mounted so that the clamp
7 soit située en avant du rail 1 , tandis que le dispositif arrière 3 a sa pince 7 située en arrière du rail correspondant 1 . En outre, compte tenu de l'inclinaison des rails 1 et des pinces 7 sur la verticale, le bord inférieur 2a de la vitre 2 présente un tracé discontinu, adapté pour que ses tronçons insérés dans les pinces 7 prennent appui de manière uniforme dans celles-ci sur toute leur largeur.7 is located in front of the rail 1, while the rear device 3 has its clamp 7 located behind the corresponding rail 1. In addition, given the inclination of the rails 1 and the clamps 7 on the vertical, the lower edge 2a of the window 2 has a discontinuous line, adapted so that its sections inserted in the clamps 7 bear uniformly in those over their entire width.
Dans chaque curseur 6 est ménagé un dégagement 14 adapté pour recevoir la contre-plaque associée 9. Dans la réalisation illustrée aux dessins, le dégagement 14 débouche dans une ouverture 15 traversant le curseur 6 de part en part. La contre-plaque 9 est munie de pattes latérales, au nombre de deux (16, 17) dans cet exemple de réalisation, de chaque côté de la contre-plaque. Ces pattes 16, 17 sont adaptées pour pouvoir glisser sur des rampes 18, 19 de retenue du curseur 6 sur la contre-plaque 9. Les rampes 18, 19 sont formées latéralement au dégagement 14, orientées vers l'intérieur du curseur dans l'ouverture 15, et se prolongent, du côté opposé à la pince 7, par des épaulements transversaux 21 , 22. Ces derniers sont agencés pour constituer des butées d'arrêt des pattes 16, 17 après que celles-ci aient été enfoncées dans le dégagement 14 et que la contre-plaque 9 ait coulissé jusqu'à sa position de butée dans le curseur 6, comme cela sera expliqué plus en détail ci-après.In each cursor 6 is formed a clearance 14 adapted to receive the associated counter-plate 9. In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the clearance 14 opens into an opening 15 passing through the cursor 6 right through. The counter-plate 9 is provided with lateral tabs, two in number (16, 17) in this embodiment, on each side of the counter-plate. These legs 16, 17 are adapted to be able to slide on ramps 18, 19 for retaining the cursor 6 on the counter-plate 9. The ramps 18, 19 are formed laterally at the clearance 14, oriented towards the inside of the cursor in the opening 15, and are extended, on the side opposite to the clamp 7, by transverse shoulders 21, 22. The latter are arranged to constitute stops for stopping the tabs 16, 17 after these have been inserted into the recess 14 and that the counterplate 9 has slid to its stop position in the cursor 6, as will be explained in more detail below.
Entre les épaulements de butée 21 , 22, le dégagement 14 délimite une lumière 23 d'introduction de la plaque 17, tandis que la patte 16 peut être mise en place dans une ouverture 24 réservée devant la rampe 18 (figure 6). Chaque curseur 6 présente par ailleurs un évidement central 25 dans lequel est agencé un organe 26 de verrouillage de la contre-plaque 9, constitué dans l'exemple décrit par une languette élastique s'étendant dans la direction F de coulissement de la contre-plaque 9 sur le curseur 6. Son extrémité libre 26a est située du côté opposé à la pince 7 et à la contre-plaque 9 et conformée afin de faire saillie par rapport au plan de contact avec la contre-plaque 9. Corrélativement, dans la contre-plaque 9 est réalisée une lumière centrale 27 à l'intérieur de laquelle l'extrémité libre 26a de la languette flexible 27 peut s'encliqueter elastiquement et remplir sa fonction de verrouillage de la contre-plaque 9 sur le curseur 6, en fin de course de coulissement de la contre-plaque 9 dans le curseur 6.Between the abutment shoulders 21, 22, the recess 14 delimits a lumen 23 for introducing the plate 17, while the tab 16 can be placed in an opening 24 reserved in front of the ramp 18 (FIG. 6). Each slider 6 also has a central recess 25 in which is arranged a member 26 for locking the counter plate 9, constituted in the example described by an elastic tongue extending in the direction F of sliding of the counter plate 9 on the slider 6. Its free end 26a is situated on the side opposite the clamp 7 and the counter plate 9 and shaped so as to project from the plane of contact with the counter plate 9. Correspondingly, in the counter -plate 9 is made a central lumen 27 inside which the free end 26a of the flexible tongue 27 can snap elastically and fulfill its locking function of the counter-plate 9 on the cursor 6, at the end of the sliding stroke of the counter-plate 9 in the cursor 6.
La contre-plaque 9 présente un profil transversal sensiblement en U, sur les bords opposés 28 duquel les pattes 16, 17 sont agencées l'une derrière l'autre. L'extrémité 29 de chaque contre-plaque 9 est coudée perpendiculairement au plan général de la contre-plaque 9 du côté intérieur à la pince 7 et porte un coussinet souple 31 . Ce dernier est réalisé dans la même matière que le profilé 1 1 et le bord inférieur 2a de la vitre 2 peut venir s'y appuyer. L'assemblage d'une pince 1 et de sa contreplaque 9 avec le curseur 6 associé s'effectue de la manière suivante.Against the plate 9 has a substantially U-shaped transverse profile, on the opposite edges 28 of which the tabs 16, 17 are arranged one behind the other. The end 29 of each counter-plate 9 is bent perpendicular to the general plane of the counter-plate 9 on the interior side of the clamp 7 and carries a flexible pad 31. The latter is made of the same material as the profile 1 1 and the lower edge 2a of the window 2 can come to bear on it. The assembly of a clamp 1 and its plywood 9 with the associated cursor 6 is carried out in the following manner.
Partant de la position séparée des figures 4 et 5, l'opérateur dispose la contre-plaque 9 dans le dégagement 14 du curseur 6 de telle manière que les deux paires de pattes 16, 17 viennent se loger respectivement dans les ouvertures 24 et 23 (figure 6) en regard des rampes respectives 18, 19.Starting from the separate position of FIGS. 4 and 5, the operator places the counter-plate 9 in the clearance 14 of the cursor 6 so that the two pairs of lugs 16, 17 are received respectively in the openings 24 and 23 ( Figure 6) opposite the respective ramps 18, 19.
Puis l'opérateur exerce sur la contre-plaque 9 une pression P afin de l'enfoncer suffisamment dans le dégagement 14 à encontre de la sollicitation élastique contraire de la languette flexible 26, jusqu'à ce que les pattes 16, 17 viennent se placer sous les rampes 18, 19. Dès que cet enfoncement est suffisant, il ne reste plus à l'opérateur qu'à faire coulisser la contre-plaque 9 comme indiqué par la flèche sur la figure 7, afin que les pattes 16, 17 glissent sur les rampes respectives 18, 19 jusqu'à venir en position de butée contre les épaulements d'arrêt correspondants 21 et 22. A la fin de la course de la contre-plaque 9, l'extrémité libre 26a de la languette 26, qui était jusque là fléchie sous la partie centrale de la contre-plaque 9, est brusquement libérée et vient se détendre elastiquement en s'engageant dans la lumière 27. Cet encliquetage verrouille la contre-plaque 9 sur le curseur 6.Then the operator exerts on the counter-plate 9 a pressure P in order to push it sufficiently into the clearance 14 against the opposite elastic stress of the flexible tongue 26, until the tabs 16, 17 are placed under the ramps 18, 19. As soon as this insertion is sufficient, the operator only has to slide the counter plate 9 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 7, so that the tabs 16, 17 slide on the respective ramps 18, 19 until they come into abutment position against the corresponding stop shoulders 21 and 22. At the end of the stroke of the counter-plate 9, the free end 26a of the tongue 26, which was previously bent under the central part of the counter plate 9, is suddenly released and comes to relax elastically by engaging in the light 27. This snap locks the counter plate 9 on the cursor 6.
Dès lors la contre-plaque 9 ne peut plus être désolidarisée du curseur 6 qu'en exerçant sur la languette 26 une force suffisante pour la faire fléchir afin de faire repasser son extrémité libre 26a au-dessous de la surface interne de la contre-plaque 9.Consequently, the counter-plate 9 can no longer be detached from the cursor 6 only by exerting on the tongue 26 a force sufficient to cause it to bend in order to cause its free end 26a to pass below the internal surface of the counter-plate. 9.
Cette opération d'assemblage est très simple et s'effectue sans difficulté. Suivant un second mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 8, le dispositif de support 33 comporte deux pinces 7 reliées par une contre-plaque 34 équipée de deux paires de pattes latérales 16, 17 et un curseur 6. Ce dispositif offre à la vitre 2 une longueur d'appui double de celle du précédent.This assembly operation is very simple and is carried out without difficulty. According to a second embodiment illustrated in Figure 8, the support device 33 comprises two clamps 7 connected by a counter plate 34 equipped with two pairs of side tabs 16, 17 and a slider 6. This device provides the window 2 with a support length twice that of the previous one.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et peut comporter des variantes d'exécution. Ainsi chaque contre-plaque 9 pourrait n'être munie que d'une seule patte latérale convenablement dimensionnée, venant s'engager sous une rampe correspondante de retenue formée dans le curseur 6. De même la languette 26 de verrouillage peut être remplacée par tout élément équivalent. The invention is not limited to the embodiments described and may include variant embodiments. Thus each counter-plate 9 could be provided with only one suitably dimensioned lateral tab, coming to engage under a corresponding retaining ramp formed in the slider 6. Similarly, the locking tab 26 can be replaced by any element equivalent.
