Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des disnositifs à fonctionnement manuel ou électrique, permettant de régler la longueur des moyens de support d'un rétroviseur extérieur d'un véhicule, et, ceci du oste de conduite. The present invention relates to devices with manual or electrical operation, making it possible to adjust the length of the support means for a rear-view mirror outside a vehicle, and, this of the driving oste.
Lorsque des véhicules agricole ou automobile sont attelés d'une remorque ou d'une caravane, il est nécessaire et même li- gatoire de disposer de rétroviseurextérieur assurant un champ de vision total quelaue soit la largeur de l'attelage. When agricultural or motor vehicles are coupled with a trailer or caravan, it is necessary and even compulsory to have an exterior rearview mirror ensuring a total field of vision whatever the width of the coupling.
Dans le cas de tracteur agricole, ceux-ci sont équipes de rétroviseurs extérieurs dont les bras de support ne sont pas réglables en longueur. Ces bras sont le nlus souvent de longueur insuffisante, ce qui ne nermet sas de voir à l'arrière des remorques tractées. De ce fait, la conduite de véhicules agricole devient dangereuse, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'effectuer des manoeuvres telles que changer de direction en traversant une route. In the case of an agricultural tractor, these are fitted with exterior mirrors whose support arms are not adjustable in length. These arms are often of insufficient length, which does not allow you to see the rear of towed trailers. As a result, driving agricultural vehicles becomes dangerous, especially when it comes to performing maneuvers such as changing directions when crossing a road.
De nombreux accidents ou accrochages se produisent sarceque le chauffeur du tracteur n'a ns la possibilité de voir s'il est suivi ou va être doublé par d'autres véhicules. Dans de nombreux cas, le rétrovis-eurs extérieurs doivent dépasser du tracteur de nrés d'un mettre. Many accidents or clashes occur because the tractor driver cannot see if he is being followed or will be overtaken by other vehicles. In many cases, the exterior mirrors must protrude from the tractor by a put.
Il est donc nécessaire de nouvoir ramener le rétroviseur le plus près possible du tracteur lorsque celui-ci n'ést plus attelé d'une remorque. Car un rétroviseur qui dénuasse trop du tracteur risque d'être accroché et endommagé. Dans le cas d'automobile tractant une caravane, la conception des rétroviseurs extérieurs oblige à l'équipée de rétroviseurs extérieurs démontables. Ceuxci ayant une longueur de bras de support imnortante, ils doivent être démontés ou repliés lorsque l'automobile n'est plus attelée d'une caravane. It is therefore necessary to bring the rear view mirror as close as possible to the tractor when the latter is no longer coupled to a trailer. Because a rearview mirror that strips the tractor too much risks being caught and damaged. In the case of an automobile towing a caravan, the design of the exterior mirrors requires that the vehicle be fitted with removable exterior mirrors. Those having an immortal length of support arm, they must be dismantled or folded up when the car is no longer coupled to a caravan.
aussi est-il indispensable et pratique de disposer sur un véhicule de bras de support pour un rétroviseur extérieur pouvant s'allonger ou se rétracter suffisamment et, ceci, du poste de conduite. it is therefore essential and practical to have a support arm on a vehicle for an exterior mirror that can be extended or retracted sufficiently and, this, from the driving position.
L'invention consiste donc à pouvoir régler du poste de conduite d'un véhicule et, ceci de façon manuel ou électrique la longueur des moyens destinés à maintenir un rétroviseur extérieur. The invention therefore consists in being able to adjust the driving position of a vehicle and, this manually or electrically, the length of the means intended to hold an exterior mirror.
On décrira à présent, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, deux formes de réalisations préférées de l'invention en référence aux dessins annexes dans lesquelles
La figue I représente schématiquement un tracteur agricole équipé d'un dispositif selon l'invention.Two preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig I schematically represents an agricultural tractor equipped with a device according to the invention.
La figure II est une vue en coune d'un rétroviseur extérieur d'automobile équipée d'un dispositif selon l'invention. Figure II is a side view of an automobile exterior mirror fitted with a device according to the invention.
Comme on le voit, en se reportant au dessin I, ce tracts > z Équipé d'un dispositif objet de l'invention est constitué d'un tube (4) filté à une de ses extrémités et fixé transversalement à l'intérieur de la cabine par, d'un côté deux écrous (3) et, de l'autre, un embout en caoutchouc (7). Ce tube (4) a comme fonction de maintenir et guider le tube mobile (2) qui, lui, maintient le rétroviseur extérieur (I). le tube (4) comporte sur sa longueur une fente (5) qui permet à une poignée (6) d'être fixoe au tube (2). Ainsi en faisant coulisser la soignée (6) dans la fente (5) du tube (4), on obtient des mouvements de translation du tube (2), ce qui permet d'adapter le rétroviseur (I) à la largeur des remoroues tractées. As can be seen, with reference to drawing I, this leaflet> z Equipped with a device which is the subject of the invention consists of a tube (4) threaded at one of its ends and fixed transversely inside the cabin by, on one side two nuts (3) and, on the other, a rubber end cap (7). This tube (4) has the function of maintaining and guiding the mobile tube (2) which, in turn, maintains the exterior mirror (I). the tube (4) has along its length a slot (5) which allows a handle (6) to be fixed to the tube (2). Thus by sliding the neat (6) in the slot (5) of the tube (4), one obtains translational movements of the tube (2), which allows the mirror (I) to be adapted to the width of the towed trailers. .
k la figure II, on a représenté en coune un rétroviseur extérieur d'automobile éqUiPé d'un dispositif objet de l'invention constitué par un rétroviseur (8) maintenu par un tube mobile (9) qui coulisse à l'intérieur d'un tube (10). Un moteur électrique (I3) actionne par des mouvements de rotation une tige filetée (I2) qui nasse dans un écrou (II), fixé à I'extrêmité du tube (9). k Figure II, there is shown in color an automotive exterior mirror eqUiPé of a device object of the invention consisting of a mirror (8) held by a movable tube (9) which slides inside a tube (10). An electric motor (I3) actuates by rotation movements a threaded rod (I2) which is entangled in a nut (II), fixed at the end of the tube (9).
Ainsi, lorsque le moteur (I3)entraine dans un sens ou dans l'autre la tige filetée (I2), celle-ci agit sur ltécrou (II), qui entrasse dans des mouvements de translation le tube (9) maintenant le rtro viseur (8). Le moteur (I3) est commandé par un bouton contact (non renrésenté) situé à l'intérieur du véhicule.Thus, when the motor (I3) drives the threaded rod (I2) in one direction or the other, it acts on the nut (II), which moves in translation movements the tube (9) holding the rear sight (8). The engine (I3) is controlled by a contact button (not shown) located inside the vehicle.
Dans les deux cas, l'utilisation des dispositifs selon l'invention permet du poste de conduite d'un véhicule de régler la longueur des moyens destinés a maintenir un rétroviseur extérieur et, ainsi, d'obtenir un champ de vision total queloue soit la largeurs des remorques. In both cases, the use of the devices according to the invention allows the driving position of a vehicle to adjust the length of the means intended to hold an exterior mirror and, thus, to obtain a total field of vision whatever the widths of trailers.
Le dispositif est destiné princinalement à équiper des tracteurs agricole, des moissonneuses batteuses7 des automobiles, des camions, etc... The device is primarily intended for equipping agricultural tractors, combine harvesters7 for cars, trucks, etc.
