Glazed device for a vehicle door, comprising a flush-fitted movable panel, and corresponding door
A glazed device for a vehicle door including a mobile panel configured to be movable relative to a fixed panel and a frame for guiding the mobile panel within the door. The device comprises at least one guide rail secured to the fixed panel and configured to receive the mobile panel in sliding engagement. A rail mount is fixed to the inner side of the fixed panel and extends substantially parallel to the guide rail. The rail mount includes a mounting interface for coupling the guide rail to the fixed panel. The configuration simplifies assembly, improves structural integration, and facilitates secure retention of the mobile panel during operation. The invention also relates to a vehicle door incorporating the glazed device.
1. Glazed device intended to be mounted on an inner door shell to form a vehicle door or on a bodywork element, comprising a glazed fixed part and a mobile glazed panel that can slide relative to the glazed fixed part along a substantially vertical axis, and can selectively at least partially cover or uncover an opening in the glazed fixed part, the mobile glazed panel being guided along rails supported by the glazed fixed part,
wherein the mobile glazed panel supports an encapsulation, covering a rim of the mobile glazed panel and extends over at least one edge of a surface of the mobile glazed panel oriented towards a side corresponding to an inside of a vehicle, and of which a lower portion extends on a lower edge of the mobile glazed panel and has at least one stop capable of cooperating with at least one of a frame, a central crosspiece connecting the two side parts of a frame supported by the glazed fixed part or an attachment part on one of the rails supported by the glazed fixed part,
the at least one stop ensuring that movement of the mobile glazed panel is limited relative to the fixed part in two directions substantially perpendicular to the substantially vertical axis, at least while said mobile panel is mounted on the glazed fixed part.
2. Glazed device according to claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation comprises two stops, which extend close to the rails and/or the frame.
3. Glazed device according to claim 2 , wherein the stops cooperate with a recess formed in the frame, said crosspiece or said attachment part on a guide rail.
4. Glazed device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the encapsulation comprises an element for connecting with a window lifting mechanism.
5. Glazed device according to claim 4 , wherein the connecting element has at least one hole for securing said connecting element with the window lifting mechanism, and supporting a flexible adjustment part.
6. Glazed device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the encapsulation extends by two side portions each supporting a pad capable of sliding in one of the rails, or a pad support receiving a pad.
7. Glazed device according to claim 6 , wherein the pads have a substantially C-shaped section, a first end of the pad being engaged in the side portion of the encapsulation and a second end of the pad, supporting a guide element in the rail, which extends substantially above the first end.
8. Glazed device according to claim 6 , wherein the pads have a substantially S-shaped section, a first end of the pad being engaged in the side portion of the encapsulation and a second end of the pad, supporting a guide element in the rail, which extends beyond an edge of the mobile panel and above a corresponding edge of the glazed fixed part.
9. Glazed device according to claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation has, sectionally, on at least one of its edges, an extension which extends towards the outside of the mobile glazed panel and towards the inside of the vehicle.
10. Glazed device according to claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation has an upper portion, connecting the side portions, so as to extend around the entire periphery of the mobile glazed panel.
11. Motor vehicle comprising at least one glazed device mounted on an inner door shell to form a vehicle door or on a bodywork element of the motor vehicle, the at least one glazed device comprising a glazed fixed part and a mobile glazed panel that can slide relative to the glazed fixed part along a substantially vertical axis, and can selectively at least partially cover or uncover an opening in the glazed fixed part, the mobile glazed panel being guided along rails supported by the glazed fixed part,
wherein the mobile glazed panel supports an encapsulation, covering a rim of the mobile glazed panel and extends over at least one edge of a surface of the mobile glazed panel oriented towards the inside of the vehicle, and of which a lower portion extends on a lower edge of the mobile glazed panel and has at least one stop capable of cooperating with at least one of a frame, a central crosspiece or an attachment part on one of the rails supported by the glazed fixed part,
the at least one stop ensuring that movement of the mobile glazed panel is limited relative to the fixed part in two directions substantially perpendicular to the substantially vertical axis, at least while said mobile panel is mounted on the glazed fixed part.
12. Vehicle according to claim 11 , characterised in that the covering device is mounted in an upper part of a door of the vehicle, the mobile panel moving at least partially in a lower part of the door.
