Definitions
- the cover of the invention is characterized in that it consists of an elastically deformable rod to which a curtain is suspended, this rod being curved or folded and dimensioned in such a way that it is capable of being placed against the body , on the internal periphery of a wheel arch of the vehicle.
- the elastically deformable rod is curved in the general shape of a U and is integral with a part extending laterally to the plane of the rod, this part being dimensioned to bear on the external face of the vehicle wheel.
- the rod and the part are curved and folded to define together a structure in the general shape of a crescent whose internal edge is offset from the plane formed by the external edge.
- the present invention therefore aims to achieve a protective cover which allows painting operations of vehicle bodies by protecting the entire volume formed by a wheel arch of the body, that is to say -tell not only the vehicle wheel with its constituent parts, tire, rim, hubcap, brake disc, etc. but also the internal area of this wheel arch, spring, shock absorber, protection plates, internal faces of the bumpers and of the lighting device, etc. who are likely to receive paint during a spray painting operation on the outside of the vehicle fender.
- the device of the invention consists of a curtain 1 of fabric, plastic or other material, which is suspended by its upper edge from a rod 2 elastically deformable, this rod being curved and / or folded in the manner of a U and being dimensioned to be applied elastically against the wing 3 of the body of the vehicle to be painted on the inner periphery 31 of the wheel arch 4, so that the curtain 1 hangs down to the ground 5 thereby protecting from paint splashes not only the wheel 6 but also all the mechanisms of this vehicle which are located inside this wheel arch 4.
- the curtain 1 is therefore arranged in the plane XX of the wheel arch 4, the elastically deformable rod in the form of a U and more precisely in the form of a hoop or semicircle coming from its 21 and 22 ends, bearing against the protective plates, generally made of plastic, provided against the internal face 31 of the wing 3 inside the wheel arch 4 of the vehicle.
- This rod 2 is preferably made using a steel rod but may also be made of plastic or in any other way using a coil spring, a tube of flexible material forming a sealed enclosure made elastically deformable by inflation, etc.
- the rod is intended to promote the application of the rod against the internal face of the wheel arch by fixing on this rod a piece 7 which extends laterally to the plane XX of this U and which is dimensioned to come s' press on the external face of the wheel 6 of the vehicle or of its constituent parts comprising in particular the brake disc and the wheel hub.
- This part will also be made of elastically deformable material in order to firmly hold the rod 2 against the internal face 3 face of the wheel rim and also in order to be able to adapt to the different dimensions of the wheels and wheel arches of the vehicles.
- this part extending laterally to the plane of the rod 2 in a general U shape is obtained by a rod in one and the same part, of generally circular shape, which is folded over itself in 21 and 22 to produce a crescent-shaped structure whose internal edge 7 is offset and disposed obliquely relative to the external edge 2.
- edges 2 and 7 of this crescent are made in the shape of an arc of a circle, the radius of the arc of a circle of the internal edge 2 will therefore be greater than that of the outer edge 7.
- This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a firm application of the bead wire 2 on the internal periphery of the wheel arch, whatever the dimensions of the wheels of the vehicle and whatever the shape and the volume of the space formed inside. the wing and receiving this wheel, whether this wheel is present or not.

Description
Le cache de l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il se compose d'une tringle déformable élastiquement à laquelle est suspendu un rideau, cette tringle étant courbée ou pliée et dimensionnée de manière telle qu'elle est susceptible de se placer contre la carrosserie, sur le pourtour interne d'un passage de roue du véhicule.The cover of the invention is characterized in that it consists of an elastically deformable rod to which a curtain is suspended, this rod being curved or folded and dimensioned in such a way that it is capable of being placed against the body , on the internal periphery of a wheel arch of the vehicle.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tringle déformable élastiquement est courbée en forme générale de U et est solidaire d'une pièce se prolongeant latéralement au plan de la tringle, cette pièce étant dimensionnée pour s'appuyer sur la face externe de la roue du véhicule.According to another characteristic of the invention, the elastically deformable rod is curved in the general shape of a U and is integral with a part extending laterally to the plane of the rod, this part being dimensioned to bear on the external face of the vehicle wheel.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tringle et la pièce sont courbées et pliées pour définir ensemble une structure en forme générale de croissant dont le bord interne est décalé du plan formé par le bord externe.According to another characteristic of the invention, the rod and the part are curved and folded to define together a structure in the general shape of a crescent whose internal edge is offset from the plane formed by the external edge.
L'invention est représentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur les dessins ci-joints dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de trois quarts arrière du dispositif conforme à l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue du cache de la figure 1 mis en place sur une aile d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile,
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant A-A de la figure 2.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view from three rear quarters of the device according to the invention,
- FIG. 2 is a view of the cover of FIG. 1 placed on a wing of a bodywork of a motor vehicle,
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view along AA of FIG. 2.
La présente invention a en conséquence pour but la réalisation d'un cache de protection qui permet d'effectuer des opérations de peinture de carrosseries de véhicules en protégeant la totalité du volume formé par un passage de roue de la carrosserie, c'est-à-dire non seulement la roue du véhicule avec avec ses pièces constitutives, pneu, jante, enjoliveur, disque de frein, etc. mais également la zone interne de ce passage de roue, ressort, amortisseur, plaques de protection, faces internes des pare-chocs et du dispositif d'éclairage, etc. qui sont susceptibles de recevoir de la peinture lors d'une opération de peinture au pistolet de la face externe de l'aile du véhicule.The present invention therefore aims to achieve a protective cover which allows painting operations of vehicle bodies by protecting the entire volume formed by a wheel arch of the body, that is to say -tell not only the vehicle wheel with its constituent parts, tire, rim, hubcap, brake disc, etc. but also the internal area of this wheel arch, spring, shock absorber, protection plates, internal faces of the bumpers and of the lighting device, etc. who are likely to receive paint during a spray painting operation on the outside of the vehicle fender.
Le dispositif de l'invention se compose d'un rideau 1 en tissu, matière plastique ou autre, qui est suspendu par son bord supérieur à une tringle 2 déformable élastiquement, cette tringle étant courbée et/ou pliée à la manière d'un U et étant dimensionnée pour s'appliquer élastiquement contre l'aile 3 de la carrosserie du véhicule à peindre sur le pourtour interne 3₁ du passage de roue 4, de façon que le rideau 1 pende jusqu'au sol 5 en protégeant ainsi des projections de peinture non seulement la roue 6 mais aussi tous les mécanismes de ce véhicule qui sont situés à l'intérieur de ce passage de roue 4.The device of the invention consists of a curtain 1 of fabric, plastic or other material, which is suspended by its upper edge from a
Par cette disposition, le rideau 1 se dispose donc dans le plan X-X du passage de roue 4, la tringle déformable élastiquement en forme de U et plus précisément en forme d'arceau ou de demi-cercle venant, par ses extrémités 2₁ et 2₂, en appui contre les plaques de protection, en général en matière plastique, prévues contre la face interne 3₁ de l'aile 3 à l'intérieur du passage de roue 4 du véhicule.By this arrangement, the curtain 1 is therefore arranged in the plane XX of the wheel arch 4, the elastically deformable rod in the form of a U and more precisely in the form of a hoop or semicircle coming from its 2₁ and 2₂ ends, bearing against the protective plates, generally made of plastic, provided against the
Cette tringle 2 est de préférence réalisée à l'aide d'une tige en acier mais pourra également être réalisée en matière plastique ou de toute autre manière à l'aide d'un ressort à boudin, d'un tube en matériau souple formant une enceinte étanche rendue déformable élastiquement par gonflage, etc.This
Suivant l'invention, il est prévu de favoriser l'application de la tringle contre la face interne du passage de roue en fixant sur cette tringle une pièce 7 qui se prolonge latéralement au plan X-X de ce U et qui est dimensionnée pour venir s'appuyer sur la face externe de la roue 6 du véhicule ou de ses pièces constitutives comprenant notamment le disque de frein et le moyeu de roue. Cette pièce sera également réalisée en matériau déformable élastiquement afin de maintenir fermement la tringle 2 contre la face interne 3₁ du pourtour de roue et afin également de pouvoir s'adapter aux différentes dimensions des roues et des passages de roue des véhicules.According to the invention, it is intended to promote the application of the rod against the internal face of the wheel arch by fixing on this rod a piece 7 which extends laterally to the plane XX of this U and which is dimensioned to come s' press on the external face of the wheel 6 of the vehicle or of its constituent parts comprising in particular the brake disc and the wheel hub. This part will also be made of elastically deformable material in order to firmly hold the
De préférence et comme représenté sur les dessins ci-joints, cette pièce se prolongeant latéralement au plan de la tringle 2 en forme générale de U, est obtenue par une tringle en une seule et même pièce, de forme générale circulaire, qui est repliée sur elle-même en 2₁ et 2₂ pour réaliser une structure en forme de croissant dont le bord interne 7 est décalé et disposé en oblique par rapport au bord externe 2.Preferably and as shown in the attached drawings, this part extending laterally to the plane of the
Si les bords 2 et 7 de ce croissant sont réalisés en forme d'arc de cercle, le rayon de l'arc de cercle du bord interne 2 sera donc plus grand que celui du bord externe 7.If the
Cette disposition permet d'obtenir une application ferme de la tringle 2 sur le pourtour interne du passage de roue, quelles que soient les dimensions des roues du véhicule et quelles que soient la forme et le volume de l'espace formé à l'intérieur de l'aile et recevant cette roue, que cette roue soit présente ou non.This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a firm application of the
