Definitions

  • the invention herein is encompassed within the field of the automobile industry and more specifically relates to an interior handle for opening the door of a motor vehicle that is comprised of a lever that acts as a door handle, which is surrounded by an outer frame surrounding said lever and having a primarily decorative function.
  • clipping systems are used for joining the various components of a car since they are simple couplings and relatively more economical compared to other similar solutions. More specifically, the clipping elements of the two components to be joined are usually moulded directly into one of said components.
  • said handle is normally composed of a lever that is surrounded by a decorative frame that is usually chrome-plated in most cases.
  • Joining the decorative frame to the lever can be done in many ways.
  • said coupling can be made by means of scoring and clipping, which is the simplest method of attachment, and consists of using clips moulded directly into one of the two components to be joined.
  • the decorative contour is an annular element that fits over the entire contour of the lever
  • the clipping of the decorative contour on the lever has the drawback that the flanges are visible at the rear part of the lever and when the handle is actuated, the rear part can be seen by the user. Therefore, the coupling elements of the lever and the decorative frame have to be concealed.
  • the clearance in other words, the degree of separation of the opposite outer perimeters of the lever and the frame is particularly noticeable once they have been once joined, mainly due to the defects of form of said components and due to the clearance required for the correct assembly thereof.
  • clipping couplings are typically advised against if the quality requirements are high, such as for example the metallic and/or painted parts of a car.
  • Patent WO 2011/032976 describes one such clipping system for the door handle of a vehicle; in this case the problem arises related to the space or clearance between the lever and the decorative frame, which is considerable, and the coupling can further be seen between both parts from the rear part of the lever and therefore it is visible to the user.
  • the decorative frame can be divided into two more or less symmetrical parts, that are fixed on opposite sides, but in this case the groove of the coupling between the two parts would be visible and additionally when the chrome-plated decorative frame is inserted around the lever, its perimeter must be slightly increased in order to then insert it and the frame may become deformed or the chrome-plating may become damaged.
  • a final option is to use bi-injection moulding as a method of forming the handle, which essentially consists of the coupling of the two materials (lever and decorative frame) by means of co-injection of the second over the first, and subsequently chrome-plating the decorative frame.
  • This method has the disadvantage that, during the chrome-plating process, the surface of the part of the handle that is not plated becomes damaged. In addition, this process involves the presence of a clearance or space between the chrome-plated part and the lever.
  • the invention herein relates to an interior handle for opening the door of a vehicle of the type that are hinged, in relation to a housing built into the interior trim panel of the vehicle door, the handle being included inside said housing in a rest position.
  • the handle comprises a lever that has a front opening with a perimeter partition exteriorly surrounding the contour of the lever and an outer frame that, in turn, has a perimeter partition exteriorly facing the perimeter partition of the lever surrounding the frame exteriorly to the lever.
  • a particular characteristic of the handle, object of the invention herein, is that the outer contour of the lever, on its face side, has a perimeter rim with its outer wall tapered in relation to the centre of the housing and the outer contour of the frame has a perimeter groove on its face side, directed towards the inside of the handle, with its tapered inner wall, the cone taper of said tapered inner wall of the frame and the cone taper of the tapered outer wall of the lever being coincident.
  • a plurality of clipping points may be arranged on the outer face of the perimeter partition of the lever and on the inner face of the perimeter partition of the frame, in the immediate area surrounding the unseen faces opposite the visible faces and therefore further away from the perimeter rim of the lever and the perimeter groove of the frame and configured so as to exert pressure on the contact zone between the tapered inner wall of the frame and the tapered outer wall of the lever.
  • the clipping strength required to maintain the conical contact between the lever and frame is determined by the interference values on the faces of the clips. Its function is to put pressure on the conical fit, such that perfect leveling is achieved between surfaces and in this way coupling defects are hidden, as there is no clearance between them.
  • the clipping points are further away from the visible conical fit zones and that provides the flexibility necessary for efficient and easy assembly. Therefore, for metallic component couplings, for example, friction during assembly can be decreased in order for the coating not to get impaired.
  • a plurality of guide zones may be arranged on the outer face of the perimeter partition of the lever and on the inner face of the perimeter partition of the frame, alternately to the clipping points, in the immediate area surrounding the unseen faces opposite the visible faces.
  • the guide zones may comprise brackets, attached to the perimeter partition of the frame and grooves, made in the perimeter partition of the lever, whose position will be coincident with the position of the brackets, covering said brackets.
  • the visible face of the frame may present a surface with a different appearance to the surface of the visible face of the lever.
  • the surface finish of each one of the components, lever and frame, of the handle may be different.
  • the frame may be chrome-plated and the lever may not be or vice versa.
  • the interior handle for opening the door, object of the invention herein is, in turn, connected to a housing 1 that houses it on the inside in a rest position or non-actuated condition thereof.
  • the handles rotates in relation to the housing according to an axis of rotation that is vertical taking into account the normal assembly position of the aforementioned housing 1 in the interior trim panel (not shown) of the door.
  • the handle has been shown in an actuated position or open position, in which the handle has rotated in relation to the housing 1.
  • the handle consists essentially of two parts, firstly the lever 2, which, in this embodiment has an approximately trapezoidal shape with rounded corners and slightly curved edges. Said lever 2 is shown in isolation in Figure 8 and has a front opening 3, that is somewhat recessed relative to the front vertical imaginary plane (as mounted on the vehicle door) defined by the outer contour of the lever, said plane known as the "visible face” of the lever and the opposite rear part of the lever is called the "unseen face”.
  • the lever is surrounded along the entire outer contour of a perimeter partition 4, which is perpendicular to the visible face of the lever.
  • the handle comprises a decorative outer frame 5 having a similar shape to the lever 2 surrounding it, also having a perimeter partition 6 that is facing the perimeter partition 4 of the lever when the frame is mounted in said lever 2.
  • Figure 3 shows the lever assembly 2 and the frame 5, and it can be seen how the frame surrounds the entire outer contour of the lever.
  • the outer contour of the lever 2 has a perimeter rim 7 on the face side, with its outer wall 8 conically configured in relation to the centre of the housing 1, the outer contour of the frame 5 on the face side, having a perimeter groove 9 directed towards the inside of the handle, with its inner wall 10 also conically configured, the cone taper of said inner wall 10 of the frame 5 and the cone taper of the outer wall 8 of the lever 2 being coincident.
  • This characteristic of the invention can be seen more clearly in the section of a part of the handle shown in Figures 4A and 4B .
  • the coupling between the lever 2 and the outer frame 5 is achieved by means of clipping points 11, which are arranged on the outer face of the perimeter partition 4 of the lever 2 and on the inner face of the perimeter partition 6 of the frame 5. They are distributed along the entire contour of both components, in the immediate area surrounding its unseen sides, opposite the visible faces, and therefore further away from the perimeter rim 7 of the lever 2 and the perimeter groove 9 of the frame 5 and configured so as to exert pressure on the contact zone between the tapered inner wall 10 of the frame 5 and the tapered outer wall 8 of the lever 2.
  • the arrangement of the clipping points is shown in Figure 3 , wherein said clipping points 11 have been surrounded with circles formed in broken lines for the purpose of clarity. In this manner, the separation between the lever 2 and the frame 5 on the front visible face of the handle is reduced to a minimum.
  • a plurality of guide zones 12 are arranged (see Figure 6 ), that are also located on the outer face of the perimeter partition 4 of the lever 2 and on the inner face of the perimeter partition 6 of the frame 5, alternately to the clipping points 11, in the immediate area surrounding its unseen faces opposite the visible faces.
  • said guide zones 12 will take the form of brackets 13 in the shape of a "T”, arranged perpendicularly attached to the perimeter partition 6 of the frame 5 and in grooves 14, arranged perpendicularly, made in the perimeter partition 4 of the lever 2, whose position coincides with the position of the brackets 13, said brackets 13 and grooves 14 covering part of 25 the width of the perimeter partition 6 of the frame 5 and of the perimeter partition 4 of the lever 2 respectively.
  • the configuration and position of the aforementioned brackets 13 and grooves 14 can be seen clearly in Figure 6 , in which a section is shown according to the C-C cross section drawing of Figure 5 .
  • figures 7 and 8 in which the frame 5 and the lever 2 have been presented in perspective views respectively, both the guide zones and the clipping points of the handle can be seen.
