Definitions
- Hinge assembly for the articulation of a motor vehicle swing door
- the invention relates to a hinge assembly for the articulation of a swinging rear door of a motor vehicle.
- the invention relates more particularly to a hinge assembly for the articulation of a swinging rear door of a motor vehicle on a vertical rear leg of a body structure of said vehicle, comprising a first hinge portion adapted to be fixed to the door and a second hinge portion adapted to be attached to the rear leg, said second hinge portion being secured by means of screws which successively pass from the outside to the inside, said second hinge portion, drill holes, and a wall of the rear foot, bores of a reinforcing plate, and at least three captive nuts, each of which is received in a plate and at least two of which are secured to one another.
- hinge assemblies are known.
- a fastener plate In a conventional hinge assembly, a fastener plate generally receives all the captive nuts and binds them rigidly to each other.
- the invention overcomes this disadvantage by proposing a hinge assembly of which at least the prisoner nut intended to receive the first screw is independent of the others.
- the invention proposes a hinge assembly of the type described above, characterized in that it comprises a fixing assembly comprising a first plate receiving a first captive nut, which is intended to receive a first screw to be mounted and previously tightened to the other screws, and a second plate, independent of the first plate, which receives second captive nuts which are intended to receive the other screws, to avoid the misalignment of said second nuts with the holes in the wall of the rear foot and the holes in the reinforcement plate after tightening the first screw in the first nut.
- the hinge assembly comprises a holding plate which is adapted to be immobilized relative to the body structure of the vehicle and to cooperate with the first and second plates of the fastening assembly to immobilize in rotation the first and second nuts prisoners.
- the reinforcing plate comprises at least one wing intended to fit internally to a wall of the rear leg of the body structure which is oriented in the extension of a side wall of the vehicle and the holding plate comprises:
- a folded sheet metal part comprising at least one wing designed to fit internally with the wing of the reinforcing plate
- a wall of the part which has an outer face against which are immobilized wall bearing faces of the first and second plates,
- the first and second captive nuts protrude from support faces of the first and second plates and in that the wall of the holding plate has cutouts adapted to receive said captive nuts.
- the first and second captive nuts open into respective free faces of the first and second walls.
- the second and third captive nuts open into a free face of the second wall.
- the second wall of the second plate comprises a concave cut complementary to a convex cut of the first wall of the first plate which is adapted to ensure a relative position of the plates.
- the first plate has two extensions which extend on either side of one side of said plate opposite its convex cut and which have a common rectilinear edge and the holding plate has a projecting lug disposed in the immediate vicinity of the common rectilinear edge and two projecting lugs disposed in close proximity to each of the opposite edges of the extensions, to immobilize the first plate relative to the holding plate, in particular when screwing the associated screw.
- Each projecting tab is formed by cutting the holding plate and folding in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the holding plate.
- Each protruding tab is formed during the making of a blank of the plate and folded at the edge thereof.
- FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a motor vehicle utility type comprising a hinge assembly according to the invention
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are internal side views illustrating the rotation of a fixing plate according to the state of the art when tightening a screw;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of plates carrying captive nuts according to the invention
- - Figure 5 is a perspective view of plates bearing captive nuts and the associated plate according to the invention
- FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of a hinge assembly according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows the rear of a motor vehicle 10 of the utility type.
- the vehicle 10 comprises a body structure 12 provided with a vertical rear leg 14 which receives a swinging rear door 13.
- the swinging rear door 13 is hinged to the vertical rear foot 14 preferably by means of two hinge assemblies 16.
- the hinge assembly 16 comprises a first hinge portion 18 adapted to be fixed to the door 13 and a second hinge portion 20 adapted to be attached to the rear leg 14.
- the second hinge portion 20 is fixed by means of screws 22 which pass successively through said second hinge portion 20, holes 23 of a wall 24 of the rear foot 14 and holes 25 of a reinforcing plate 26.
- the holding plate 30 and the captive nuts are in accordance with those shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, which represent a plate 30 arranged on the back of the reinforcing plate 26.
- the captive nuts 32a, 32b, 32c are part of a single assembly 32.
- the holding plate 30 which receives the nuts 32a, 32b, 32c prisoners binds them rigidly to each other.
- This design has a disadvantage. Indeed, when mounting the hinge 16, the screws 22 are conventionally mounted one after the other. However, it has been found that the introduction and tightening of the first screw 22 in the nut 32a causes a rotation of the fixing plate 30 which other captive nuts 32b, 32c are no longer aligned with the holes 25 of the reinforcement plate 26 and the holes 23 of the wall 24 of the rear leg 14, as shown in FIG.
- one solution is to separate and immobilize the first captive nut 32a which must be tightened before the other captive nuts 32b, 32c.
- the invention proposes a hinge assembly of the type described above, characterized in that it comprises a fixing assembly 32 comprising a first plate 46 receiving a first captive nut 32a, which is intended to receive a first screw 22a. to be assembled and tightened prior to the other screws 22b, 22c, and a second plate 50, independent of the first plate, which receives second captive nuts 32b, 32c which are intended to receive the other screws 22b, 22c to prevent the misalignment of said second nuts 32b, 32c with the holes 23 of the wall 24 and the holes 25 of the reinforcing plate 26.
- a holding plate 30, which is adapted to be immobilized with respect to the body structure of the vehicle, cooperates with the first and second plates 46, 50 of the fastening assembly 32 to immobilize in rotation the first and second captive nuts 22a. , 22b, 22c.
- the reinforcing plate 26 has at least one flange 34 intended to fit internally a wall 36 of the rear leg 14, shown in Figure 1, which is oriented in the extension of a side wall 37 of the vehicle (not shown).
- the holding plate 30 comprises at least one folded sheet portion 33 comprising at least one flange 38 intended to fit internally to the flange 34 of the reinforcing plate 26.
- the captive nuts 32a, 32b, 32c are able to pass through complementary cuts. 40, 42, 44 formed in this sheet metal portion 33.
- the first plate 46 receiving the first captive nut 32a has a first wall 52, a bearing surface 53 of which is immobilized against a free face 31 of a wall 35 of the part 33 of the holding plate 30 and said first nut 32a through the first cutout 40 associated therewith.
- the first captive nut 32a opens into a free face 48 of the first wall 52 to allow its screwing.
- the second plate 50 receiving the second and third captive nuts 32b, 32c includes a second wall 54, a bearing surface 55 which is immobilized against the free face 31 of the wall 35 of the portion 33 of the plate 30 holding .
- the second and third captive nuts 32b, 32c pass through the second and third cutouts 42, 44 associated therewith.
- the second and third captive nuts 32b, 32c open into a free face 56 of the second wall 54.
- the second wall 54 comprises a concave cutout 58 which is complementary to a convex cutout 60 of the first wall 52. These cutouts are thus able to ensure a relative positioning of the plates 46. , 50 before the insertion of the nuts 32a, 32b, 32c into the associated cutouts 40, 42, 44 of the holding plate.
- the first plate 46 has two extensions 62, 64 which extend on either side of a side 66 of said plate 46 opposite its convex cutout. 60, and which have a common rectilinear edge 68.
- the wafer 30 has a tab 70 projecting disposed in close proximity to the straight edge 68 common to the first plate 46 and two projecting lugs 72, 74 disposed in the immediate vicinity of each opposite edges 76, 78 of the extensions 62, 64 of the first plate 46, to prevent the rotation of the first plate 46 when screwing the screw 22 in the locking nut 32a.
- each protruding lug 70, 72, 74 is formed by cutting the holding plate 30 and folding in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the holding plate 30.
- each projecting lug 70, 72, 74 is formed during the making of a blank 40, 42, 44 of the plate 30 and is folded at the edge thereof.
- the tabs are formed during the production of the plate 30.
