The spring 27 is also threaded coaxially around the sleeve 23.
Le manchon 23 a un alésage axial 39 complémentaire de la tige annelée 11. L'extrémité du manchon 23 située - du côté opposé à l'ouverture 33, et qui fait saillie hors de la douille 21 au travers de la plaque 25, est pourvue d'une rondelle 41 coaxiale, en matériau magnétique. Cette rondelle 41, qui est est par exemple sertie, s'étend dans une partie du logement 9 située entre la plaque de fermeture 25 et la face d'aspect 7.The sleeve 23 has an axial bore 39 complementary to the corrugated rod 11. The end of the sleeve 23 located - on the side opposite to the opening 33, and which protrudes out of the sleeve 21 through the plate 25, is provided a coaxial washer 41, made of magnetic material. This washer 41, which is for example crimped, extends in a part of the housing 9 located between the closure plate 25 and the appearance face 7.
Du côté de l'ouverture 33, le manchon 23 a une section 43 de forme extérieure tronconique complémentaire de la paroi intérieure tronconique 31 de la douille 21. Cette section tronconique 43 forme un épaulement 45 tourné vers la plaque 25. Le ressort axial 27 prend appui d'une part sur l'épaulement 45, et d'autre part sur la plaque de fermeture 25.On the side of the opening 33, the sleeve 23 has a section 43 of frustoconical external shape complementary to the frustoconical internal wall 31 of the sleeve 21. This frustoconical section 43 forms a shoulder 45 turned towards the plate 25. The axial spring 27 takes support on the one hand on the shoulder 45, and on the other hand on the closure plate 25.
Du fait que la manchon 23 est fendu axialement sur toute sa longueur, dans l'exemple représenté, il forme deux mâchoires 57A, 57B symétriques, reliées entre elles par la rondelle magnétique 41. Chacune des mâchoires 57A, 57B est formée avec une dent 59A, 59B respective en saillie radiale dans l'alésage 39. Chacune des dents 59A, 59B est de forme complémentaire des gorges 15 de la tige 11, de façon à pouvoir s'engager dans lesdites gorges lorsque la tige 11 est insérée dans le manchon 23.Because the sleeve 23 is axially split over its entire length, in the example shown, it forms two symmetrical jaws 57A, 57B, connected to each other by the magnetic washer 41. Each of the jaws 57A, 57B is formed with a tooth 59A , 59B respective in radial projection in the bore 39. Each of the teeth 59A, 59B is of complementary shape to the grooves 15 of the rod 11, so as to be able to engage in said grooves when the rod 11 is inserted into the sleeve 23 .
Il faut noter enfin que le ressort axial 27 est prévu pour solliciter la douille 23 de façon que sa section tronconique 43 s'appuie sur la paroi tronconique 31 de la douille 21.Finally, it should be noted that the axial spring 27 is designed to urge the socket 23 so that its frustoconical section 43 is supported on the frustoconical wall 31 of the socket 21.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif de fixation qui vient d'être décrit va maintenant être explicité en référence aux Figures 1 et 2.The operation of the fixing device which has just been described will now be explained with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
La Figure 1 illustre la configuration assemblée des pièces 1, 3 par le dispositif 5.Figure 1 illustrates the assembled configuration of parts 1, 3 by device 5.
Pour parvenir à cette configuration, -à partir de la configuration dans laquelle les deux pièces 1, 3 sont séparées, les deux pièces 1 , 3 sont déplacées l'une par rapport à l'autre de façon à insérer la tige 11 dans l'organe femelle 12, tout d'abord au travers de l'ouverture 33, puis à l'intérieur de l'alésage 39 du manchon 23. L'extrémité libre de la tige 11, qui est de préférence de forme tronconique, vient alors en appui sur les dents 59A, 59B. Le manchon 23 est donc repoussé vers le fond du logement 9, à l' encontre de l'effet du ressort axial 27. Les mâchoires 57A, 57B, en se dégageant de la paroi tronconique 31 de la douille 21, peuvent alors s'écarter radiale ent, également sous l'effet de la poussée de la tige 11 sur les dents 59A, 59B.To achieve this configuration, -from the configuration in which the two parts 1, 3 are separated, the two parts 1, 3 are moved relative to each other so as to insert the rod 11 in the female member 12, firstly through the opening 33, then inside the bore 39 of the sleeve 23. The free end of the rod 11, which is preferably of frustoconical shape, then comes into support on teeth 59A, 59B. The sleeve 23 is therefore pushed back towards the bottom of the housing 9, against the effect of the axial spring 27. The jaws 57A, 57B, while being released from the frustoconical wall 31 of the sleeve 21, can then move away radial ent, also under the effect of the thrust of the rod 11 on the teeth 59A, 59B.
L'insertion de la tige 11 dans l'alésage 39 peut être poursuivie jusqu'à ce que les dents 59A, 59B tombent dans l'une des gorges 15. Lorsque la poussée sur la tige 11 est interrompue, le ressort axial 27 repousse le manchon 23 en appui par sa section tronconique 43 sur la partie correspondante 31 de la douille 21.The insertion of the rod 11 into the bore 39 can be continued until the teeth 59A, 59B fall into one of the grooves 15. When the pushing on the rod 11 is interrupted, the axial spring 27 pushes the sleeve 23 supported by its frustoconical section 43 on the corresponding part 31 of the socket 21.
La tige 11 ne peut plus alors être extraite de l'organe femelle 12, de sorte que le dispositif 5 se trouve dans une position verrouillée.The rod 11 can then no longer be extracted from the female member 12, so that the device 5 is in a locked position.
Seul un jeu axial dans le sens de l'insertion est autorisé par le dispositif une fois verrouillé, ce jeu étant d' amplitude faible et limitée soit par la butée de l'epaulement 45 sur la plaque de fermeture 25, soit par la butée de l'extrémité du manchon 23 sur le fond du logementOnly an axial play in the direction of insertion is authorized by the device once locked, this play being of small amplitude and limited either by the stop of the shoulder 45 on the closure plate 25, or by the stop of the end of the sleeve 23 on the bottom of the housing
9. • .9. • .
Le déverrouillage du dispositif de fixation 5 est illustré sur la Figure 2. Pour déverrouiller le dispositif 5, l'opérateur place sur la face d'aspect 7 de la paroi 3, par exemple depuis l'intérieur de l'habitacle, un aimant 60 de façon à produire une attraction mutuelle (illustrée par des flèches axiales) de l'élément 60 et de la rondelle magnétique 41. Ainsi, le manchon 23 se déplace axialement vers le fond du logement 9, et les mâchoires 57A, 57B se dégagent de la paroi tronconique 31 de la douille 21. Les dents 59A, 59B peuvent alors s'extraire des gorges 15, par écartement radial de la mâchoire. On comprend que la force magnétique d'attraction mutuelle de l'aimant 60 et de la rondelle magnétique 41 doit être supérieure à l'effort de rappel exercé sur le manchonThe unlocking of the fixing device 5 is illustrated in FIG. 2. To unlock the device 5, the operator places a magnet 60 on the aspect face 7 of the wall 3, for example from inside the passenger compartment. so as to produce a mutual attraction (illustrated by axial arrows) of the element 60 and of the magnetic washer 41. Thus, the sleeve 23 moves axially towards the bottom of the housing 9, and the jaws 57A, 57B are released from the frustoconical wall 31 of the sleeve 21. The teeth 59A, 59B can then be extracted from the grooves 15, by radial spacing of the jaw. It is understood that the magnetic force of mutual attraction of the magnet 60 and the magnetic washer 41 must be greater than the restoring force exerted on the sleeve
23, par la compression du ressort axial 27. Dans la configuration représentée sur la Figure 2, la tige 11 est libérée des mâchoires 57A, 57B, de sorte que les pièces 1, 3 peuvent être détachées l'une de l'autre.23, by the compression of the axial spring 27. In the configuration shown in Figure 2, the rod 11 is released from the jaws 57A, 57B, so that the parts 1, 3 can be detached from each other.
On comprend que, lorsque la tige 11 est entièrement retirée de l'organe femelle 12, le manchon 23, sous l'effet du rappel élastique du ressort 27, retrouve sa position initiale de repos, dans laquelle la section tronconique 43 prend appui sur la paroi complémentaire 31 de la douille 21.It is understood that, when the rod 11 is entirely withdrawn from the female member 12, the sleeve 23, under the effect of the elastic return of the spring 27, returns to its initial rest position, in which the frustoconical section 43 is supported on the complementary wall 31 of the socket 21.
Le dispositif de fixation qui vient d'être décrit est particulièrement avantageux pour réaliser la fixation d'une pièce d'aspect, comme cela vient d'être décrit, car il peut être libéré sans contact et que, de ce fait, le dispositif peut être entièrement caché.The fixing device which has just been described is particularly advantageous for carrying out the fixing of a part of appearance, as has just been described, because it can be released without contact and that, as a result, the device can be completely hidden.
Un autre avantage important d'un tel dispositif provient du fait que son déverrouillage peut être effectué sans usure sensible du dispositif, et de façon extrêmement aisée.Another important advantage of such a device comes from the fact that its unlocking can be carried out without appreciable wear of the device, and in an extremely easy way.
Un tel dispositif trouve d'autres applications avantageuses que celle de la fixation .d'un paroi d'aspect. Par exemple, un tel dispositif de fixation convient particulièrement à des composants de bloc moteur ou de bloc avant, qui sont susceptibles de subir plusieurs manœuvres de montage et démontage. Such a device finds other advantageous applications than that of fixing a appearance wall. For example, such a fixing device is particularly suitable for engine block or front block components, which are liable to undergo several assembly and disassembly operations.
