Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a plastic catch arrangement for vehicle doors and the associated manufacturing procedure in which in the axis zone of the plastic catch arrangement stresses do not accumulate as said axis only fulfils the function of positioning element of the catch.
  • the associated manufacturing procedure by means of gas assisted injected moulding enables the aforementioned configuration to be obtained, in which the axis is not subjected to stresses and in which the catch is also provided with support surfaces in the casing which release stresses on the casing, thus preventing the axis from breaking the catch.
  • vehicle door catches which are made from metallic materials, preferentially by aluminium Zamac alloy injection moulding, as used in top range vehicles.
  • injected plastic moulding materials are used in manufacturing door catch arrangements which are subsequently subjected to an electroplating process, thus reducing the final costs associated with the materials used in the vehicle.
  • the aforementioned arrangements manufactured by injection moulding are provided with a plastic housing with a catch that the user employs to open the vehicle door, in which the catch has a projection with a hole through which the axis passes in order to make the rotation.
  • a door catch arrangement is known from US-4 343 501 .
  • the catch should be inserted in the casing, so that there is no projection with a hole into which the axis is inserted, but rather various zones of the catch through which the axis passes.
  • Conventional injection moulding does not permit a catch to be obtained with the aforementioned geometry due to the fact that the material would not reach the catch zones which surround the geometric position of the axis in the arrangement.
  • the present invention refers to a plastic catch arrangement for a vehicle door and the associated manufacturing procedure where the catch axis acts solely as a positioning element thereof, preventing the concentration of stresses in said zone and thus breakage of the catch in the area of connection with the axis.
  • the catch is provided with support surfaces which rest, some during repose and others during full activation of the catch, on the casing, releasing stresses thereon and preventing breakage of the catch in the zone where the axis passes through it.
  • the catch is provided with a main body manufactured in a procedure to be described below, from which a zone connecting to the casing extends, and which remains self-centred therein, as this connection zone of the catch is antagonistic to the interior zone of the casing to which it is joined, comprising all the concave space of the carcass.
  • This axial direction is defined as that in which an axis passes through both the connection zone of the catch and the casing, and the casing itself, where the axis only serves to position the catch with respect to the casing in its different positions during the rotation of the catch.
  • An elastic element is situated in a groove of the catch connection zone and external to the axis, which permits the catch to recover its resting position following activation.
  • the catch is self-centred with respect to the casing and the axis is not required to support the stresses when the catch is in the fully opened position, or those stresses caused by the force of activation of the catch, as the aforementioned stresses are transmitted to the casing by the support zones of the catch.
  • the associated manufacturing process consists of an initial gas assisted injection moulding stage in which the gas displaces the plastic material of the catch towards the volume of the mould cavity, which as yet has not been filled, leaving in its place an internal channel without any plastic material formed by the gas flow.
  • the axis simply comprises a positioning element of the catch, said catch is required to occupy the casing cavities, and in turn the casing occupies the cavities of the catch for adequate self-centring of the casing catch.
  • the plastic material reaches the extensions of the zone connecting the catch to the casing which are situated in the cavities of said carcase.
  • an electroplating process using various metals is applied to the part obtained in the gas assisted injection moulding stage, which provides the arrangement with an external metallic appearance.
  • the present invention refers to a plastic catch arrangement for vehicle doors and an associated manufacturing procedure, with the arrangement in this example of a preferred embodiment being of the type situated in the interior of a vehicle door.
  • the plastic catch arrangement for vehicle doors consists of a casing (1) on which a catch (2) is self-centred due to the fact that the catch (2) geometry is antagonistic to the concave side of the casing (1) in the zone where both parts (1,2) are connected.
  • This antagonistic geometry of both parts (1, 2) is such that the catch (2) is provided with a cavity (2.1) antagonistic to a projection (1.1) of the casing(1). Therefore, the space between each of the two walls (1.1.1) of said projection (1.1) of the casing(1) and the lower and upper concave walls (1.2, 1.3) of the casing(1) are occupied by the catch(2), achieving the self-centring thereof (2) in the casing (1).
  • Both the catch (2) and the projection (1.1) of the casing (1) in the connection zone of both (1, 2) are provided with a hole (1.4, 2.2) which is present throughout the height of the arrangement in the connection zone.
  • This hole (1.4, 2.2) runs from the lower concave wall (1.2) of the casing (1) to the upper concave wall (1.3) thereof (1), permitting connection of an axis (3) which positions the catch (2) with respect to the casing (1) in the various positions of the catch (2) during rotation.
  • the catch (2) is provided with first (2.4) and second (2.5) support surfaces.
  • the first support surface (2.4) rests on the casing (1) when the catch (2) is not activated whereas the second support surfaces (2.5) rest on the casing (1) when the catch (2) is in the fully activated position, releasing the stresses on the casing (1) and preventing breaking of the catch (2) in the area where the axis (3) passes through the catch (2).
  • the manufacturing process of the plastic catch arrangement for vehicle doors consists of an initial gas assisted injection moulding stage in which the gas displaces the plastic material of the catch towards the volume of the mould cavity, which as yet has not been filled, leaving in its place an internal channel (2.6) without any plastic material formed by the gas flow.
  • This internal channel (2.6) created in the catch interior has the form of an oval shaped bubble with constant dimensions, with no visible injection lines from the flow of plastic material on the catch (2) as it is possible to maintain the internal pressure of the gas during the procedure so that the plastic material reaches all the walls of the mould.
  • thermoplastic resins such as acrylonitryl butadiene styrene ABS, acrylonitryl butadiene styrene alloy with polycarbonate ABS/PC, polyamide PA or polypropylene PP.
  • an electroplating process using various metals is applied to the plastic material of the catch (2), which is the part obtained in the gas assisted injection moulding stage thus providing the arrangement with an external metallic appearance.
  • These metals are Pd, Cu, Ni y Cr, and provide the match (2) with either a shiny or matt external appearance.
  • the third and final stage of the manufacturing procedure of the plastic catch for vehicle doors consists of assembly of the different components of the arrangement, namely casing (1), catch (2), axis (3) and elastic element (4).
