Description

La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un dispositif de verrouillage d'un boîtier avec couvercle pouvant constituer par exemple un vide-poches pour véhicule automobile.The present invention essentially relates to a device for locking a housing with a cover which can constitute, for example, a storage compartment for a motor vehicle.

On a déjà proposé divers systèmes de verrouillage des vide-poches prévus sur les planches de bord des véhicules automobiles.Various locking systems have already been proposed for storage compartments provided on the dashboards of motor vehicles.

Ces systèmes peuvent être par exemple un bouton avec clé fonctionnant par pression ou par rotation, ou encore une manette pouvant actionner un ou plusieurs pênes ou crochets permettant le verrouillage du couvercle sur le boîtier.These systems can be, for example, a button with a key operating by pressure or by rotation, or even a lever which can actuate one or more bolts or hooks allowing the lid to be locked on the housing.

Mais, généralement, ces systèmes ne peuvent pas être manoeuvrés facilement par le conducteur car ils sont situés trop loin du poste de conduite et, de plus, le verrouillage procuré par ces systèmes ne permet pas toujours au couvercle qui peut présenter des dimensions relativement importantes, de se plaquer correctement sur le bord de l'ouverture du vide-poches.But, generally, these systems cannot be easily maneuvered by the driver because they are located too far from the driving position and, moreover, the locking provided by these systems does not always allow the cover which can have relatively large dimensions, to press correctly on the edge of the storage compartment opening.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier notamment aux inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un système de verrouillage dont l'organe de manoeuvre est placé de façon ergonomique, à proximité du conducteur et qui, du fait de sa conception mécanique spéciale, permet au couvercle, lors de sa fermeture, de s'appliquer étroitement sur l'ouverture du vide-poches et donc de s'intégrer ou d'affleurer d'une façon parfaite avec la planche de bord du véhicule.The object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks in particular by proposing a locking system, the operating member of which is ergonomically placed, close to the conductor and which, because of its special mechanical design, allows the cover , when closed, apply tightly to the opening of the storage compartment and therefore integrate or flush with the dashboard of the vehicle.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de verrouillage d'un boîtier avec couvercle formant par exemple vide-poches pour véhicule automobile et du type comprenant au moins un pêne actionnable par une manette pour permettre le verrouillage du couvercle sur le boîtier ou son déverrouillage, caractérisé par deux pênes respectivement solidaires des extrémités d'un support allongé monté coulissant dans un élément fixe de guidage portant à l'une de ses extrémités, la plus proche du poste de conduite du véhicule, ladite manette qui est susceptible d'entraîner en translation le support allongé dans l'élément de guidage pour déverrouiller le couvercle.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for locking a housing with a cover forming, for example, a storage compartment for a motor vehicle and of the type comprising at least one bolt which can be actuated by a lever to allow the locking of the cover on the housing or its unlocking, characterized by two bolts respectively secured to the ends of an elongate support mounted to slide in a fixed guide element carrying at one of its ends, the closest to the driving position of the vehicle, said lever which is capable of drive the elongated support in translation in the guide element to unlock the cover.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de ce dispositif, l'élément de guidage fixe précité comporte une partie formant rail dans lequel est retenu le support allongé précité par des saillies de maintien permettant un montage, par élasticité, et un ressort est agencé dans le rail entre ledit élément et ledit support pour rappeler constamment ce dernier en position de verrouillage des pênes.According to another characteristic of this device, the above-mentioned fixed guide element comprises a part forming a rail in which the above-mentioned elongated support is retained by retaining projections allowing mounting, by elasticity, and a spring is arranged in the rail between said element and said support for constantly recalling the latter in the bolt locking position.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la manette précitée est montée pivotante sur l'élément de guidage et porte sur sa face intérieure une patte ou analogue susceptible de coopérer avec une butée appartenant à une biellette articulée sur une extrémité du support allongé, pour commander la translation du support allongé dans cet élément.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the aforementioned lever is pivotally mounted on the guide element and carries on its inner face a tab or the like capable of cooperating with a stop belonging to a link articulated on one end of the elongated support, to control the translation of the elongated support in this element.

On précisera encore ici que la biellette précitée est munie, à son extrémité opposée à celle articulée sur le support allongé, d'une lumière traversée par un ergot dont l'orientation permet ou non l'actionnement de la biellette, et donc du support allongé, par l'intermédiaire de la manette.It will also be specified here that the aforementioned link is provided, at its end opposite to that articulated on the elongated support, with a light passed through by a lug whose orientation allows or not the actuation of the connecting rod, and therefore of the elongated support, via the lever.

Suivant un mode de réalisation, l'ergot précité est fixe et appartient à une pièce en forme de bouchon fixée sur l'élément de guidage précité au voisinage de la manette.According to one embodiment, the aforementioned lug is fixed and belongs to a plug-shaped part fixed to the aforementioned guide element in the vicinity of the lever.

Selon une autre réalisation, l'ergot précité est solidaire du cylindre d'un verrou commandé par une clé et fixé sur l'élément de guidage au voisinage de la manette, de façon à permettre par actionnement de la clé, soit la coopération de la patte de la manette avec la butée de la biellette, soit l'échappement de cette patte à la butée, lors du pivotement de la manette.According to another embodiment, the aforementioned lug is integral with the cylinder of a lock controlled by a key and fixed on the guide element in the vicinity of the lever, so as to allow, by actuation of the key, either the cooperation of the leg of the lever with the stop of the rod, that is to say the exhaust of this leg to the stop, during the pivoting of the lever.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de cette invention, l'élément de guidage précité est fixé sur la planche de bord d'un véhicule et les deux pênes précités traversent chacun un orifice ménagé dans la paroi du boîtier d'un vide-poches pour pouvoir coopérer avec une partie formant gâche prévue sous le couvercle.According to yet another characteristic of this invention, the aforementioned guide element is fixed to the dashboard of a vehicle and the two aforementioned bolts each pass through an orifice formed in the wall of the housing of a storage compartment in order to be able to cooperate with a keeper part provided under the cover.

On précisera encore que chaque orifice précité comporte une encoche dans laquelle peut passer une nervure prévue en dessous de chaque pêne lors du montage du vide-poches sur la planche de bord du véhicule.It will also be specified that each aforementioned orifice has a notch in which a rib provided under each bolt can pass during the mounting of the storage compartment on the dashboard of the vehicle.

Ainsi, comme on le décrira plus loin, les pênes pourront en quelque sorte participer au maintien du vide-poches sur la planche de bord du véhicule, par le fait que les pênes resteront constamment en contact avec le vide-poches et la position relative des pênes et du vide-poches demeurera constante.Thus, as will be described later, the bolts can somehow participate in maintaining the storage compartment on the dashboard of the vehicle, by the fact that the bolts will constantly remain in contact with the storage compartment and the relative position of the bolts and the storage compartment will remain constant.

En se reportant plus particulièrement aux figures 1, 2 et 4, on voit un vide-poches 1 monté dans une ouverture pratiquée dans la planche de bord 2 d'un véhicule et comportant un couvercle 3 articulé en 4 et assurant la fermeture du vide-poches 1.Referring more particularly to Figures 1, 2 and 4, we see a storage compartment 1 mounted in an opening in the dashboard 2 of a vehicle and having a cover 3 hinged in 4 and ensuring the closing of the vacuum- pockets 1.

Le dispositif de verrouillage 5 conforme à l'invention, et bien visible sur les figures 3 à 12, est fixé sur la planche de bord 2, et comporte deux pênes 6 susceptibles de traverser chacun une ouverture 7 ménagée dans un rebord la de la paroi du vide-poches 1, de sorte que lesdits pênes 6 peuvent venir s'accrocher ou se verrouiller sur une partie formant gâche 8 prévue sous le couvercle 3 du vide-poches 1.The locking device 5 according to the invention, and clearly visible in Figures 3 to 12, is fixed on the dashboard 2, and comprises two bolts 6 capable of each passing through an opening 7 formed in a flange la of the wall of the storage compartment 1, so that the said bolts 6 can come to hang or lock on a part forming a keeper 8 provided under the cover 3 of the storage compartment 1.

En se reportant notamment aux figures 3 à 6, on voit que ce dispositif de verrouillage, essentiellement constitué de pièces en matière plastique, comprend essentiellement un support allongé 9 monté coulissant dans un élément fixe de guidage 10 (également visible sur la figure 2), lequel élément porte à l'une de ses extrémités, la plus proche du poste de conduite du véhicule, une manette 11 montée à pivotement sur l'élément de guidage 10 et susceptible d'entraîner en translation le support allongé 9 dans ledit élément de guidage 10 pour déverrouiller le couvercle 3 du vide-poches 1, c'est-à-dire, pour dégager des gâches 8 les deux pênes 6 respectivement solidaires des extrémités du support allongé 9.Referring in particular to FIGS. 3 to 6, it can be seen that this locking device, essentially consisting of plastic parts, essentially comprises an elongated support 9 slidably mounted in an element fixed guide 10 (also visible in FIG. 2), which element carries at one of its ends, closest to the driving position of the vehicle, a lever 11 pivotally mounted on the guide element 10 and capable of 'drive in translation the elongated support 9 in said guide element 10 to unlock the cover 3 of the storage compartment 1, that is to say, to release the strikes 8 the two bolts 6 respectively secured to the ends of the elongated support 9 .

L'élément fixe de guidage 10 comporte des perçages 12 permettant sa fixation par des vis ou analogues 13 sur la planche de bord 2, comme on le voit sur la figure 2.The fixed guide element 10 has holes 12 allowing it to be fixed by screws or the like 13 on the dashboard 2, as can be seen in FIG. 2.

En se reportant à la figure 6, on voit que la manette ou palette de manoeuvre 11 est montée à pivotement autour d'un axe 14 retenu par des chapes 14a sur la face avant de l'élément de guidage 10 fixé sur la planche de bord 2.Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the lever or maneuvering pallet 11 is pivotally mounted about an axis 14 retained by yokes 14a on the front face of the guide element 10 fixed on the dashboard 2.

On a montré en 15 un ressort de rappel de la manette 11 contre la face avant de l'élément 10.A return spring of the lever 11 has been shown at 15 against the front face of the element 10.

La manette 11 est munie sur sa face intérieure d'une patte 16 dont l'utilité sera expliquée plus loin.The lever 11 is provided on its inner face with a lug 16 whose utility will be explained later.

Comme on le voit bien sur les figures 5 et 6, l'élément de guidage fixe 10 comporte une partie en forme de rail 17 dans lequel est retenu de manière coulissante le support allongé 9 par des saillies de maintien 18 permettant un montage par élasticité.As can be clearly seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fixed guide element 10 comprises a rail-shaped part 17 in which the elongate support 9 is slidably retained by retaining projections 18 allowing mounting by elasticity.

On a montré en 19 sur les figures 3 et 4 un ressort agencé dans le rail 17 entre l'élément 10 et le support 9 pour rappeler constamment ce dernier en position de verrouillage des pênes 6.There is shown in 19 in Figures 3 and 4 a spring arranged in the rail 17 between the element 10 and the support 9 to constantly remind the latter in the bolt locking position 6.

Plus précisément, le ressort 19 est accroché par ses extrémités sur deux ergots 20 appartenant respectivement à l'élément 10 et au support allongé et coulissant 9.More precisely, the spring 19 is hooked by its ends on two lugs 20 belonging respectively to the element 10 and to the elongated and sliding support 9.

La patte 16 de la manette 11 peut coopérer avec une butée 21 appartenant à une biellette 22 articulée sur une extrémité du support allongé 9, de façon à commander la translation de ce support dans le rail 17 de l'élément de guidage fixe 10.The tab 16 of the lever 11 can cooperate with a stop 21 belonging to a link 22 articulated on one end of the elongate support 9, so as to control the translation of this support in the rail 17 of the fixed guide element 10.

On a montré en 23 sur la figure 6 un ergot solidaire d'une extrémité du support allongé 9 et sur lequel est articulée l'extrémité 24 de la biellette 22.23 has shown in FIG. 6 a lug secured to one end of the elongated support 9 and on which the end 24 of the connecting rod 22 is articulated.

A son extrémité opposée à celle 24 articulée sur le support allongé 9, la biellette 22 comporte une lumière 25 traversée par un ergot qui sera décrit en détail plus loin, et dont l'orientation permet ou non l'actionnement de la biellette 22 et donc du support allongé 9 par la patte 16 de la manette pivotante 11.At its end opposite that 24 articulated on the elongated support 9, the link 22 has a slot 25 through which a lug which will be described in detail below, and whose orientation allows or not the actuation of the link 22 and therefore of the elongated support 9 by the tab 16 of the pivoting lever 11.

L'élément de guidage fixe 10 comporte, au voisinage de la manette 11, une ouverture 26 dans laquelle peut être monté soit un verrou 27, soit une pièce en forme de bouchon 28.The fixed guide element 10 comprises, in the vicinity of the lever 11, an opening 26 in which can be mounted either a latch 27, or a plug-shaped part 28.

Cette pièce en forme de bouchon 28 comporte vers l'arrière un doigt ou ergot 29 qui appartient à ladite pièce et qui traverse la lumière 25 de la biellette 22 articulée sur le support allongé 9.This plug-shaped part 28 comprises a finger or lug 29 which belongs to said part towards the rear and which passes through the lumen 25 of the link 22 articulated on the elongated support 9.

Le verrou 27 qui peut être commandé par une clé (non représentée) est muni d'un cylindre dont est solidaire un doigt ou ergot 30 qui peut lui aussi passer au travers de la lumière 25 de la biellette 22, mais qui peut être entraîné en rotation par la clé pour faire pivoter ladite biellette.The lock 27 which can be controlled by a key (not shown) is provided with a cylinder of which is attached a finger or lug 30 which can also pass through the opening 25 of the link 22, but which can be rotated by the key to rotate said link.

Dans le cas où la pièce 28 est montée dans l'ouverture 26 de l'élément fixe de guidage 10, il n'y aura pas de condamnation possible du mouvement du support allongé 9 dans l'élément 10, et le fonctionnement sera le suivant en se reportant à la figure 12.In the case where the part 28 is mounted in the opening 26 of the fixed guide element 10, there will be no possible condemnation of the movement of the elongated support 9 in the element 10, and the operation will be as follows referring to figure 12.

Le conducteur, à la porté de main duquel se trouve la manette 11, pourra tirer cette manette vers lui, de sorte que ladite manette pivotera et la patte 16 poussera la butée 21 de la biellette 22, ce qui, comme on le comprend, actionnera le support allongé 9 portant les pênes 6 pour provoquer le déverrouillage, la biellette demeurant maintenue et guidée par l'ergot 29 traversant la lumière 25 ménagée dans ladite biellette. On comprend également ici qu'une fois le déverrouillage des pênes 6 effectué, la barrette ou le support allongé 9 reviendra automatiquement à la position initiale, grâce au ressort de rappel 19.The driver, within easy reach of which the lever 11 is located, will be able to pull this lever towards him, so that said lever will pivot and the tab 16 will push the stop 21 of the link 22, which, as will be understood, will actuate the elongate support 9 carrying the bolts 6 to cause unlocking, the rod remaining maintained and guided by the lug 29 passing through the lumen 25 formed in said rod. It is also understood here that once the bolts 6 have been unlocked, the bar or the elongated support 9 will automatically return to the initial position, thanks to the return spring 19.

Dans le cas où l'on utilise le verrou 27, le fonctionnement est le suivant en se reportant aux figures 10 et 11.In the case where the lock 27 is used, the operation is as follows, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11.

Lorsque le verrou 27 se trouve dans la position de déverrouillage des pênes 6 comme illustré sur la figure 10, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'ergot 30 se trouve dans la position visible sur ladite figure, on comprend qu'en actionnant la manette 11, la patte 16 de cette manette pourra coopérer avec la butée 21 de la biellette 22 pour actionner le support allongé 9 et déverrouiller les pênes 6.When the latch 27 is in the unlocking position of the bolts 6 as illustrated in FIG. 10, that is to say when the lug 30 is in the position visible in the said figure, it is understood that by actuating the lever 11, the tab 16 of this lever can cooperate with the stop 21 of the rod 22 for activate the elongated support 9 and unlock the bolts 6.

Par contre, comme on le voit sur la figure 11, si on a actionné le verrou avec la clé de façon que le cylindre de ce verrou effectue un quart de tour, la biellette 22, entraînée par l'ergot 30, prendra la position inclinée visible sur la figure 11. C'est dire que, dans cette position de la biellette 22, lorsque l'on actionnera la manette 11, celle-ci agira en quelque sorte dans le vide, puisque la patte 16 ne pourra pas agir sur la butée 21 de ladite biellette.On the other hand, as can be seen in FIG. 11, if the lock has been actuated with the key so that the cylinder of this lock performs a quarter turn, the rod 22, driven by the lug 30, will take the inclined position visible in Figure 11. This means that, in this position of the rod 22, when the lever 11 is actuated, the latter will act in a way in a vacuum, since the tab 16 cannot act on the stop 21 of said link.

On comprend donc que la manette 11 pivotera autour de son axe 14 dans tous les cas, mais si le verrou 27 est en position "ouverte" (figure 10), elle commandera le déverrouillage du couvercle 3 du vide-poches 1, alors que si le verrou est en position "fermée" (figure 11), la biellette 22 empêchera la manette 11 d'agir.It is therefore understood that the lever 11 will pivot around its axis 14 in all cases, but if the lock 27 is in the "open" position (FIG. 10), it will command the unlocking of the cover 3 of the storage compartment 1, whereas if the lock is in the "closed" position (Figure 11), the link 22 will prevent the lever 11 from acting.

Il apparaît donc de la description du fonctionnement qui précède que le dispositif de verrouillage selon cette invention peut être équipé commodément d'un verrou de condamnation des pênes ou non, et cela à l'aide tout simplement de deux pièces 27, 28 interchangeables et qui peuvent être facilement fixées sur l'élément de guidage fixe 10.It therefore appears from the above description of the operation that the locking device according to this invention can be conveniently equipped with a latch for locking the bolts or not, and this simply using two interchangeable parts 27, 28 which can be easily attached to the fixed guide element 10.

Les deux pênes 6, comme on le voit mieux sur la figure 7 présentent chacun une forme de crochet, et sous chaque pêne est prévue une nervure 31 qui ne s'étend que sur une partie de la longueur du pêne pour laisser entre la racine du pêne et l'extrémité de la nervure 31, un redan 32.The two bolts 6, as best seen in Figure 7 each have a hook shape, and under each bolt is provided a rib 31 which extends only over a part of the length of the bolt to leave between the root of the bolt and the end of the rib 31, a step 32.

Cette nervure 31 est utile pour le montage du vide-poches 1 sur la planche de bord 2, comme on l'expliquera ci-après. On a vu au début de la présente description que le dispositif de verrouillage 5 selon cette invention était tout d'abord fixé sur la planche de bord 2. Après cette opération, l'ensemble vide-poches 1 et couvercle 3 est monté sur la planche de bord 2, et cela de façon que les pênes 6 traversent des orifices 7 ménagés dans le rebord 1a du vide-poches 1.This rib 31 is useful for mounting the storage compartment 1 on the dashboard 2, as will be explained below. We saw at the beginning of this description that the locking device 5 according to this invention was first of all fixed on the dashboard 2. After this operation, the storage compartment 1 and cover 3 assembly is mounted on the board edge 2, and this so that the bolts 6 pass through orifices 7 formed in the rim 1a of the storage compartment 1.

En se reportant aux figures 8 et 9, on voit que les orifices 7 comportent chacun une encoche 33 dirigée vers le bas et dans laquelle peut passer la nervure 31 des pênes 6. Plus précisément, selon l'exemple représenté, les orifices 7 présentent une forme rectangulaire et l'encoche 33, en vue de face, c'est-à-dire depuis le siège du passager du véhicule, est située en bas et à droite.Referring to Figures 8 and 9, it can be seen that the orifices 7 each have a notch 33 directed downwards and through which the rib 31 of the bolts 6 can pass. More specifically, according to the example shown, the orifices 7 have a rectangular shape and the notch 33, in front view, that is to say from the passenger seat of the vehicle, is located at the bottom right.

Le vide-poches 1 étant en position d'insertion dans son logement pratiqué dans la planche de bord 2, on pousse le support allongé 9 vers la droite en agissant sur l'un des pênes 6, de sorte que la nervure 31 va se trouver en face de l'encoche 33, et le pêne 6 pourra traverser l'orifice 7. C'est ce que l'on voit sur la figure 8.The storage compartment 1 being in the insertion position in its housing made in the dashboard 2, the elongated support 9 is pushed to the right by acting on one of the bolts 6, so that the rib 31 will be found opposite the notch 33, and the bolt 6 can pass through the orifice 7. This is what we see in FIG. 8.

Lorsque le vide-poches 1 sera en position complètement insérée dans son logement, les pênes 6, par leur redan 32, pourront échapper au bord de l'orifice 7 et le support allongé 9 sera automatiquement rappelé vers la gauche grâce au ressort 19. Ainsi, par action sur la manette 11, les pênes 6 pourront se débattre dans l'ouverture 7 comme on le voit sur la figure 9, et cela en dehors de l'encoche 33. Autrement dit, on a agi par poussée vers la droite sur les pênes 6 pour effectuer le montage, de façon qu'ils se trouvent dans une position correspondant à l'encoche 33, qui se situe au delà de la course limite des pênes que peut procurer la manette 11 par pivotement. Des moyens de butée sont prévus pour limiter le mouvement de pivotement de la manette 11 et donc la course des pênes. Ces moyens peuvent être constitués, comme on le voit sur la figure 6, soit par un bossage 50 sur la manette 11, lequel vient en contact avec l'élément de guidage 10 au cours du mouvement de la manette, soit par des nervures 31 prévues sur l'élément 10 et prolongeant en quelque sorte les chapes 14a.When the storage compartment 1 is in the fully inserted position in its housing, the bolts 6, by their step 32, can escape the edge of the orifice 7 and the elongated support 9 will be automatically recalled to the left by the spring 19. Thus , by action on the lever 11, the bolts 6 can struggle in the opening 7 as seen in Figure 9, and this outside of the notch 33. In other words, we acted by pushing to the right on the bolts 6 to carry out the mounting, so that they are in a position corresponding to the notch 33, which is located beyond the limit stroke of the bolts that can be obtained by the lever 11 by pivoting. Stop means are provided to limit the pivoting movement of the lever 11 and therefore the stroke of the bolts. These means can be constituted, as seen in FIG. 6, either by a boss 50 on the lever 11, which comes into contact with the guide element 10 during the movement of the lever, or by ribs 31 provided on the element 10 and extending in a way the yokes 14a.

L'intérêt des nervures 31 est qu'elles permettent de maintenir les pênes 6 constamment en contact avec la paroi ou rebord 1a du vide-poches 1. La position relative des pênes 6 et du vide-poches 1 est constante, et il en est de même de la position relative du couvercle 3 et du vide-poches en position fermée.The advantage of the ribs 31 is that they make it possible to keep the bolts 6 constantly in contact with the wall or rim 1a of the storage compartment 1. The relative position of the bolts 6 and of the storage compartment 1 is constant, and it is likewise the relative position of the cover 3 and the storage compartment in the closed position.

On comprend bien sûr de la description qui précède que le verrouillage du couvercle 3 s'effectue simultanément par les deux pênes 6 coopérant avec les gâches 8 sur le couvercle et se trouvant en quelque sorte aux deux extrémités de ce couvercle qui ainsi s'applique et se positionne parfaitement en position d'affleurement sur la planche de bord 2. On ajoutera également ici que le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention, en raison de sa simplicité mécanique, possède une excellente fiabilité de fonctionnement et est en outre peu coûteux du fait que toutes les pièces le composant peuvent être réalisées en matière plastique.It is of course understood from the foregoing description that the locking of the cover 3 is effected simultaneously by the two bolts 6 cooperating with the strikes 8 on the cover and being somehow at the two ends of this cover which thus applies and is perfectly positioned in flush position on the dashboard 2. It will also be added here that the locking device according to the invention, because of its mechanical simplicity, has excellent operating reliability and is also inexpensive because that all the component parts can be made of plastic.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.

C'est ainsi que l'on pourrait prévoir entre vide-poches et couvercle un ressort-amortisseur facilitant l'ouverture du couvercle après déverrouillage. Les pênes 6 pourraient présenter une forme quelque peu différente de celle représentée sur les dessins.Thus one could provide between storage compartment and cover a shock absorber spring facilitating the opening of the cover after unlocking. The bolts 6 could have a shape somewhat different from that shown in the drawings.

C'est dire que l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits et ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit.This means that the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and also their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
