Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical device for controlling the opening of a door, in particular the door of an object containing compartment disposed on a motor-car dashboard.
  • a problem that is felt at present with the new arrangement of motor-cars dashboards lies in that the object containing compartment and its relevant door is located in positions where the door, when opened, falls towards the vehicle floor. This causes the door to open very quickly, rebounding on the end of stroke stopping means.
  • this feature can be regarded as a drawback with high quality motor-cars, as the user often has to use his hands to let the door open gently to avoid the above cited rebound.
  • this object is accomplished by the provision of a mechanical device for controlling the opening of a door, in particular the door of an object containing compartment disposed on a motor-car dashboard, as claimed in claim 1.
  • numeral 2 designates a door for an object containing compartment (not shown), in particular a compartment located on the dashboard 4 of a motor-car.
  • Door 2 is hinged, through arms 6 to hinges 8 fixed to the dashboard 4 by means of bolts 10.
  • the arm 6 is provided with a bore 7 and is inserted on a tube 12 integral with said hinge 8.
  • the arm 6 can rotate about tube 12 in the direction of arrow F so as to allow opening and closing of the object containing compartment door.
  • a bolt 14 Within the tube 12 there is inserted a bolt 14.
  • the axle 16 of bolt 14 is disposed parallel to the fixed hinge 8 and is integral with a first coaxially disposed bushing 18, a second bushing 20 also coaxial to axle 16 being slidably and rotatably inserted thereon.
  • the second bushing 20 is urged against the first bushing 18 by a spring 22 coaxial to axle 16 and fitted with a washer 23.
  • Spring 22 is kept in position against bushing 18 by a self-locking nut 24 with a relevant washer 26.
  • Nut 24 is screwed onto the threaded end of axle 16 opposite to the end engaged by the fixed hinge 8.
  • the two bushings 18 and 20 have front facing surfaces 26 and 28, respectively. These surfaces are designed so as to couple with each other, particularly by means of flat surfaces 30 and 32 disposed alternately on different levels and joined by joining surfaces which are alternately inclined 34 or perpendicular 36.
  • Bushing 20 provides a spline 38 adapted to cooperate with a finger element 40 integral with the door 2 (FIG. 1). Finger element 40 is capable of driving the bushing 20 in rotation therewith in the direction of arrow F when the door is closed, and in the opposite way when the door is opened.
  • the contrasting force acting when the door 2 is being opened may be adjusted at pleasure according to requirements by simply varying the characteristics of the spring 22 or selectively replacing the type of spring, or adjusting the load bearing on the spring by tightening or loosening the nut 24.
  • Another advantage of the device of this invention lies in that the door being closed is recalled by the action of the spring 22 when, due to rotation in the direction opposite to that of arrow F, the two inclined walls 34 come in contact again.
