Definitions

  • Flexible opening roofs comprising a cap capable of moving back and forth and vice versa, in a translational movement, in a rectangular opening of the roof, a flexible cover attached on the one hand to this cap and on the other hand at the rear edge of said opening, this cover being intended to be stretched over said opening, in the roof closed position, and folded back in the open position, a device making it possible to drive the cap forward or towards the rear, to press it against the front edge of said opening and to block it at least in this plating position.
  • the translation and plating movements are obtained by transforming separate movements, for example in sunroofs with manual control, by means of a handle which is pulled to bring the cap into the position of closing and that one turns to carry out the movement of plating and the locking.
  • the present invention relates to a flexible sunroof of the aforementioned type in which the movements of translation and plating of the cap are carried out without transition by transforming a single movement, for example the movement of rotation of a motor shaft, of the axis of a crank, etc.
  • the attached drawing shows, schematically and by way of example, two embodiments of the subject of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view, the hood removed and partially torn, of the first embodiment
  • Figures 2 and 3 are sectional views through lines II-II and III-III of Figure 1
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view through line IV-IV of Figure 1
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating the operation of the mechanism generating the plating of the cap
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view, partially torn, corresponding to FIG. 4.
  • Figure 7 is a plan view of the second embodiment in which the cover and cap are partially- (121 and torn; Figures 8 to 12 (12 'and 12 ") are detailed sectional views according to lines VIII-VIII, IX-IX, XX, XI-XI and XII-XII of Figure 7.
  • the flexible sunroof shown in Figures 1 to 6 which is intended to cover a rectangular opening of the roof P of an automobile, comprises ( Figures 1,2 and 3) a flexible waterproof hood 10 projecting laterally from said opening, supported by arches 11 and connected, on the one hand, to a fixed cap 12 covering the rear edge of the opening of the roof, and, on the other hand, to a movable cap 13.
  • Two pinions 15 are wedged at the ends of a shaft 17 capable of being driven in rotation by an electric reduction motor 18 housed in the casing 14, the other two are wedged on two idle axes 19.
  • the casing 14 moves backwards or towards the 'before by driving the hood 10 which folds or unfolds.
  • connection between the cap 13 and the casing 14 comprises (fig. 4 to 6), on the one hand, two brackets 20 whose horizontal branches 21 are fixed to the cap 13 and on the other hand springs 25.
  • the brackets 20 are articulated on axes 22 engaged in elongate openings 23 of flanges 24 welded to the body of the casing 14, and the springs 25 are stretched between lugs 26 and 27 secured respectively to the cap 13 and to the casing 14.
  • the cap 13 and the casing 14 can thus perform a relative movement in the direction of the translational movement, of amplitude equal to the length of the openings 23, with or against the action of the springs 25 in the direction of movement.
  • the roof further comprises two straps 28 which extend under the hood 10 and which are respectively attached to the axes 22 and to the rear edge of the opening of the roof. These straps have a length such that they are tightened when the casing is at the distance a from the end of its travel - the visor of the cap 13 then covering the front edge of the roof opening.
  • the axes 22 are immobilized, when the roof is closed before the casing 14 which traverses the interval against the action of the springs 25.
  • Each mechanism 37 is constituted (FIGS. 4 to 6) by a lever 31 whose axis 32 rotates in the flanges 24, by two links 33 and 34, of adjustable lengths, articulated one by one with the lever 31 and other share two axes 35 and 36 of the cap 13, respectively of the branch 21 of the square 20 crres laying.
  • any contrary effort on the cap 13 adds to the plasing effect and strengthens the seal.
  • Another advantage of the roof described is the fact that it is self-adjusting in the sense that it is not necessary to take into account, during assembly, possible small differences in length of the straps 28 (difference entering the manufacturing tolerances or consecutive to other factors such as storage time, humidity, temperature, etc.), since a margin b allows them to be absorbed. This margin also makes it possible to make up for an elongation of the straps 23 caused by their wear and tear, without any prejudice to the proper functioning of the mechanism and of the roof seal.
  • the flexible sunroof shown in FIGS. 7 to 12 comprises, like the first embodiment described, a flexible hood 10 attached on the one hand to a fixed rear cap 12 and on the other hand to a front cap 13 mounted on a casing 14 capable of being driven in translation from front to back and vice versa, by means of the shaft 17 ′ of a gear motor 18.
  • the straps 28, only one of which is visible in the drawing, are located laterally, on the outside. as the opening of the pavilion and no longer at a certain distance from the edge of this opening. They are housed in hems formed in the longitudinal edges of the hood 10 and fixed to the det caps in a manner which will be described in detail below.
  • the frame 40 which fits into the opening of the roof, is formed longitudinally by two Z-shaped profiles 41 and transversely by two angle profiles 42.
  • the upper wings of these profiles cover the four edges of the opening of the roof to which they are fixed by screws 43, nuts 44 and washers 45.
  • the rear cap 12 is supported on brackets 46 internally welded to the vertical wing of the corresponding section 42. It is fixed to these consoles by bolts 47. The tightening is such that the edge, slightly folded down of the cap is applied elastically with a certain pressure against the corresponding edge of the opening of the roof so as to ensure a perfect seal. along this edge.
  • the drive means of the casing 14 comprise (FIGS. 7 and 9) two flexible notched belts 4_8 extending above and along the lower wings of the profiles 41. These belts are fixed at their two ends to the profiles 42 corresponding to the rear by tensioning devices 49.
  • Each device 49 is constituted (FIGS. 9 and 11) by a corner 50 pressed into a square tubular body 60 between which the corresponding end of the belt 48 is pinched, and by a screw 51 axially passing through the corner 50 and engaged in a nut welded to the vertical wing of the profile 42.
  • the body 60 can move axially but cannot rotate so that by screwing or unscrewing the screw 51 the belt 48 is more or less stretched.
  • the belts 48 are respectively engaged with two toothed pinions 53 wedged on each of the ends of the motor shaft 17 and pass over two rollers 54, arranged on either side of each pinion 53 so as to distribute over several teeth of the pinion 53 the load transmitted.
  • the rollers 54 rotate freely on axes 55 blocked in blind holes bored in the bearing 56 and the shaft 17.
  • the casing 14 is guided by two pads 57, made of nylon, one on each side, which slide along the lower wings of the sections 41. Furthermore, it bears and slides on two pads 58, also of nylon.
  • the belts 48 are made of an optionally reinforced plastic material having both great flexibility, very high shear strength, rigorous dimensional stability and maximum breaking strength because they support relatively high tensions in the locking position.
  • the straps 28 are no longer attached to the cap 13 by means of an axis, but by means of spring devices (FIG. 12 '). The same is also true at the rear where the straps 28 are attached by means of the same devices to the cap 12.
  • Each device comprises a bent spring leaf 60 riveted at one of its ends under the cap (12-13), a wedge 61 fitting the free end of the blade 60 and an internally conical sleeve 62.
  • the end of the strap 28 is wound around the rounded top of the corner 61 and the sleeve 62 forcibly engaged on the blade 60, the corner 61 and the strap 28.
  • the invention is obviously not limited to the two embodiments shown and described.
  • the mechanisms generating the lowering and lifting movements of the cap 13 could be produced by a system of cables in place of the rods 33 and 34.
  • connection between the cap 13 and the casing 14 could be achieved by elements forming a deformable parallelogram in place of the brackets 20.
  • toothed belts 48 do not necessarily have to be passed over rollers 54 located before and after the drive pinions 53.
  • Other solutions can be implemented to ensure a good distribution of the load transmitted by the pinions 53 to the casing 14 .
