Device for closing off an opening made in a structural element comprising synchronization, and corresponding automobile

摘要

A device is provided for sealing an opening made in a structure, including a fixed panel in which an opening is defined, and at least one sliding panel, including: two shuttles respectively guided in two guiding rails mounted and/or formed on the surface of the fixed panel facing the inside of the vehicle and a frame supporting at least two guiding pins respectively engaging with each one of the shuttles. The shuttles include guides for guiding the pins, enabling a transverse movement of the frame relative to the shuttles. An actuator acts directly or indirectly on the shuttles in order to move the latter in the rails, causing the sliding panel to move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fixed panel. The device also synchronizes the actuator so as to synchronize the movement of the shuttles.

1. A device for closing off an opening made in a structure having an interior, comprising a fixed panel in which there is defined an aperture, and at least one sliding panel having:
an upper shuttle and a lower shuttle, respectively guided in two distinct guide rails mounted or formed on a surface of said fixed panel, wherein the shuttles are disposed toward the interior of said structure; a frame bearing at least two guiding pegs respectively engaging with each one of said shuttles, these shuttles comprising guides for guiding said pegs enabling a transverse movement of said frame relative to said shuttles; means for actuating acting directly or indirectly on said shuttles in order to move the latter in said rails, causing said sliding panel to move in a direction perpendicular to a plane of said fixed panel; and means for synchronizing the movement of said shuttles, said means for synchronizing comprising at least one leaf spring or at least one cable circulating in a part of the frame of the sliding panel, and wherein said means for synchronizing is connected to the lower shuttle and to the upper shuttle.
