  • the present invention relates to a hinge with integrated door stop intended to be mounted on the doors of motor vehicles, but which can be applied to any system comprising openings.
  • a hinge with integrated door stop intended to be mounted on the doors of motor vehicles, but which can be applied to any system comprising openings.
  • the connection between the door and the body of a vehicle is ensured, on the one hand, by means of two hinges, and, on the other hand, with a device called "door stop” whose purpose is to limit the door opening stroke and providing two stops at intermediate positions of said door, called parking and full opening positions.
  • the invention essentially consists in grouping the two functions, hinge and door stop, in the same mechanism which constitutes one of the hinges of the vehicle door.
  • This embodiment also makes it possible to have a door stop as soon as the door is mounted; it also allows rapid dismantling of said door and supports the "paint" range of the vehicle without degrading its performance, which constitutes highly appreciable advantages on vehicle assembly lines.
  • the integrated door stop hinge consists of a fixed knuckle mounted on the vehicle body and a movable knuckle fixed on the door.
  • a cylindrical bore intended to receive a hinge pin with annular elastic means.
  • That the hinge pin has a central part with bosses.
  • each of the elastic blades has a boss intended to cooperate with bosses of the central part of the hinge pin.
  • That elastic blades are provided with tabs intended to be housed in notches provided for this purpose in the bore of the fixed knuckle.
  • annular elastic means can be constituted by two elastic blades superposed one on the other.
  • This hinge is also characterized in that the movable knuckle fixed to the door is mounted at the upper end of the hinge pin.
  • the elastic means can be constituted by flexible blades cooperating with one or more damping devices formed by stops in elastomeric material.
  • That the movable knuckle is made integral with said hinge pin by a screw tightened in a housing of the pin.
  • a pressure screw accommodating in a groove of the articulation axis ensuring the maintenance in translation.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a vehicle door with its hinges according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a hinge with integrated door stop, the door closed.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of Figure 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a section of Figure 3 along the line IV-IV showing the hinge pin mounted.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view along the line V-V of Figure 4 showing the hinge axis and the elastic means in the bore of the fixed knuckle.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an elastic blade.
  • Figures 7,8A, 8B, 9A and 9B show different means of securing the hinge pin.
  • Figures 10,11 and 12 show in section, the hinge axis of the hinge according to the invention in three different positions.
  • FIG. 13 is a plan view of the hinge with integrated door stop according to the invention, the door being opened to the maximum.
  • FIG. 14 shows, in section, a variant of the hinge axis of the hinge according to the invention.
  • FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the hinge with integrated door stop according to the invention.
  • Figure 16 is a vertical sectional view of the hinge of Figure 15 along the line XVI-XVI.
  • FIG. 17 is a perspective view of an elastic blade of the hinge of FIG. 15.
  • a door P of a motor vehicle with its hinges C1 and C2.
  • the lower hinge C2 can be a hinge of known type, the upper hinge C1 being a hinge according to the present invention which will be more particularly described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.
  • the door stop hinge C1 according to the invention consists of a fixed knuckle 1 mounted on the body V of the vehicle by means of a flange 1a and a movable knuckle 2 fixed on the door P of the vehicle also by means a flange 2a in a manner known per se.
  • the fixed knuckle 1 has a cylindrical bore 3 provided with notches 4 and recesses 5.
  • This hinge pin 6 receives a hinge pin 6 rotating between two bearings 7 and 8 provided with self-lubricating rings 9 and 10. These bearings 7 and 8 are screwed at each end of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 to allow the mounting of the hinge pin 6.
  • This hinge pin 6 comprises a central part of larger diameter, 6a provided with bosses 11 distributed at its periphery in groups of two. Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a are inserted three elastic blades or springs 12 ( Figures 4 and 5) intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin 6a. Each elastic blade or spring 12 (FIG.
  • a locking screw 21 ensuring the maitien in translation.
  • the operation of the hinge according to the invention is the following : .
  • the movable knuckle 2 drives the articulation axis 6 in rotation via one of the three connections described and shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
  • the rotation of the axis 6 brings its bosses 11 against the boss 13 of each of the elastic blades 12 causing the bending of each blade 12 causing the boss 13 to be erased inside the recess 5 of the fixed knuckle 1.
  • the bosses 11 of the axis 6a are arranged in groups of two in order to obtain two points 11a and 11b for holding on the door rotation stroke, the variation in the number of bosses 11 per group allowing the number of door holding points to be varied.
  • the axis 6a is shown in the open door position (fig.10) with the door open in the parking position (fig.11) and the door closed (fig.12).
  • the number of bosses and elastic blades can be lower or higher to obtain different operating forces.
  • the full opening stop is provided by a tab 22 of the movable knuckle 2 which comes into contact with a bearing surface 23 of the fixed knuckle 1 as shown in FIG. 13 which shows, in plan, the hinge according to the invention, the door of the vehicle open to the maximum.
  • the door stop device described above can be reversed.
  • the articulation axis 6 with its central part 6a, comprising bosses 11 and the elastic blades 12 intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the articulation axis 6a are arranged in the movable knuckle 2.
  • stops of elastic material are inserted between the blades 12 and the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1. These stops arranged in housings provided for this purpose in the body of the fixed knuckle, act as a damper or spring. During the rotation of the axis 6 of the movable knuckle 2 said elastic stops are compressed and make it possible to obtain significant operating torques.
  • the configuration of the elastic blades 12 is modified. In the embodiment described above these blades each included, three fixing lugs 14 as well as three reinforcements 12a, intended to ensure the rigidity of the boss 13.
  • the elastic blade according to the variant now only has a folded continuous edge or rim ensuring more rigidity in said blade.
  • the fixed knuckle 1 having a cylindrical bore 3 provided with notches 4 and recesses 5; an articulation axis 6 rotating between two bearings 7 and 8 provided with self-lubricating rings 9 and 10, said bearings being screwed at each end of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.
  • the articulation axis includes bosses 11 in its central part 6a. Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a, three flexible blades 12 are inserted which cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin. On the back of each elastic blade 12 are inserted stops 30, also elastic, disposed in housings 31 provided in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.
  • These elastic stops are in the form of a profile, of elastomeric material or the like, having a section allowing it to match on one side, on the back of the blade 12, the shape of the boss 13, and the other to lodge and stay there, in the groove constituting its housing 31 provided in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.
  • each elastic or flexible blade 12 with its boss 13 has only a flange 32, obtained by folding or stamping, in place of the legs 14 of the previous embodiment.
  • This continuous rim 32 has in its middle, a depression 32a, intended to avoid any play when it is engaged in the notch 4 of the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1.
  • This rim 32 gives more rigidity in the longitudinal direction to blade 12.
  • this hinge is as follows: when the door is opened, the hinge pin 6 pivots.
  • the rotation of the axis 6 brings its bosses 11 against the boss 13 of each flexible blade 12 causing the latter to flex and compress the stopper 30 in elastomer which is behind it.
  • the effort of erasing the boss 13 as well as the compression of the stop 30 generate a significant torque while ensuring better resistance to fatigue of the blades 12.
  • the stamped edge 32 of the blades 12 ensures better retention in the notches 4, without play, during the rotation of the axis 6.
  • the hinge with integrated door stop according to the invention allows, on vehicle production lines to quickly mount the doors, position them and then remove them for the passage of the body in the paint bath and their rapid reassembly and final and, moreover, ensures a door stop from the first assembly;
  • the present invention can be applied to any other opening which it is desired to obtain several opening points.
