Pour faciliter la lecture du dessin, seuls les éléments nécessaires à la compréhension de l'invention ont été représentés. Les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références d'une figure à l'autre.To facilitate the reading of the drawing, only the elements necessary for understanding of the invention have been shown. The same elements have the same references from one figure to another.

La figure 1 représente un véhicule ferroviaire comportant une peau 6 réalisant l'enveloppe esthétique du véhicule et un châssis 4 rigide muni à son extrémité avant d'un élément absorbeur d'énergie 9. La peau 6 présente une face avant comportant un pare-brise feuilleté 2 fixé de manière affleurante sur la peau 6 par exemple au moyen d'une coque plastique 7. FIG. 1 represents a railway vehicle comprising a skin 6 realizing the aesthetic envelope of the vehicle and a rigid chassis 4 provided at its front end of an energy-absorbing element 9. The skin 6 has a front face comprising a laminated windshield 2 affixed flushly on the skin 6 for example by means of a plastic shell 7.

Conformément à la figure 1, le véhicule comporte une cabine de conduite 1 disposée derrière la face avant du véhicule, cette cabine de conduite comportant un pupitre de commande 5 placé à proximité de la base du pare-brise 2 du véhicule et un fauteuil en regard du pupitre pour accueillir le conducteur. Le véhicule comporte également un dispositif contre l'intrusion du pare-brise 2 dans la cabine 1, ce dispositif comportant un bouclier de protection 3 interposé entre la face avant du véhicule formée par la peau 6 du véhicule et l'intérieur de la cabine de conduite 1, ce bouclier de protection 3 étant supporté par le châssis 4.According to FIG. 1, the vehicle comprises a driving cabin 1 arranged behind the front of the vehicle, this driver's cab with a console control 5 placed near the base of the windshield 2 of the vehicle and an armchair next to the desk to accommodate the driver. The vehicle also includes a device against the intrusion of the windshield 2 into the cabin 1, this device comprising a protective shield 3 interposed between the front face of the vehicle formed by the skin 6 of the vehicle and the interior of the driver's cab 1, this shield protection 3 being supported by the frame 4.

Conformément à la figure 2, le bouclier de protection 3 est formé d'une structure métallique supportant une paroi frontale rigide, indéformable, s'étendant sur toute la hauteur de la cabine de conduite 1 et présentant une ouverture 8 rectangulaire disposée en regard du pare-brise 2 du véhicule, cette ouverture 8 permettant la vision du conducteur et possédant une surface sensiblement égale à la surface du pare-brise 2. Le bouclier de protection 3 comporte également deux parois latérales dont l'une est munie d'une ouverture pour permettre l'accès au conducteur.According to FIG. 2, the protective shield 3 is formed of a structure metal support a rigid, indeformable front wall extending over the entire height of the driver's cab 1 and having a rectangular opening 8 disposed opposite the windshield 2 of the vehicle, this opening 8 allowing the vision of the conductor and having a surface substantially equal to the surface of the windshield 2. The protective shield 3 also has two side walls of which one has an opening to allow access to the driver.

Le bouclier 3 supporte, autour de l'ouverture 8, un cadre de baie 10 absorbeur d'énergie comportant quatre structures 11 à déformation programmée disposées parallèlement aux bords de l'ouverture 8. Conformément au schéma supérieur de la figure 3, illustrant le dispositif avant le choc, chaque structure 11 déformable présente une section trapézoïdale comportant une grande base s'appuyant sur le pourtour de l'ouverture et une petite base venant au contact du pare-brise 2 en bordure de ce dernier. Les structures 11 déformables supportent chacune un volet 12 sur leur flan intérieur, orienté vers l'ouverture 8, ce volet étant constitué par une plaque métallique dont une extrémité est soudée à la structure 11 déformable à proximité du pare-brise 2 et dont l'autre extrémité est libre et repose sur le bord de l'ouverture 8 en débordant très légèrement à l'intérieur de cette dernière.The shield 3 supports, around the opening 8, an absorber frame 10 of energy comprising four structures 11 with programmed deformation arranged parallel to the edges of the opening 8. In accordance with the upper diagram of the FIG. 3, illustrating the device before the impact, each deformable structure 11 has a trapezoidal section with a large base resting on the around the opening and a small base coming into contact with the windshield 2 border of the latter. The deformable structures 11 each support a shutter 12 on their inner blank, oriented towards the opening 8, this flap being constituted by a metal plate whose one end is welded to the structure 11 deformable to near the windshield 2 and whose other end is free and rests on the edge of the opening 8 overflowing very slightly inside the latter.

Le schéma inférieur de la figure 3 ainsi que la figure 4 illustre l'état du dispositif contre l'intrusion du pare-brise 2 après un choc ayant provoqué la projection du pare-brise 2 en direction de la cabine 1, par exemple par rupture de la coque plastique 7 assurant le maintien de ce dernier. Conformément à ces figures, lors de la projection du pare-brise 2 en direction de la cabine 1, les bords du pare-brise 2 en appui contre le cadre de baie 10 viennent déformer les structures 11 provoquant la déformation et le basculement des volets 12 vers l'intérieur de l'ouverture 8, ce qui obstrue alors partiellement la surface de l'ouverture 8, limitant ainsi les risques d'intrusion du pare-brise 2 dans la cabine de conduite 1.The lower diagram of FIG. 3 as well as FIG. 4 illustrates the state of the device against the intrusion of the windshield 2 after an impact causing the projection of the windshield 2 towards the cabin 1, for example by breaking the plastic shell 7 ensuring the maintenance of the latter. According to these figures, during the projection windshield 2 towards the cabin 1, the edges of the windshield 2 against the rack frame 10 come to deform the structures 11 causing deformation and the tilting of the flaps 12 towards the inside of the opening 8, which then obstructs partially the surface of the opening 8, thus limiting the risks of intrusion of the windshield 2 in the driver's cab 1.

Il résulte de ce qui précède que les risques d'intrusions du pare-brise ou d'autres objets dans la cabine sont minimisés d'une part par l'absorption d'une partie de l'énergie d'intrusion du pare-brise lors de la déformation du cadre de baie et d'autre part par l'obstruction de l'ouverture par les volets.It follows from the foregoing that the risks of windshield or other intrusions objects in the cabin are minimized on the one hand by the absorption of a part of the intrusion energy of the windshield during the deformation of the bay frame and other part through the obstruction of the opening by the shutters.

Les figures 5 à 7 présentent une variante de réalisation du dispositif contre l'intrusion d'un pare-brise selon l'invention dans laquelle le cadre de baie précédemment décrit est remplacé par un cadre de baie 20 absorbeur d'énergie muni de moyens anti-intrusions constitués par deux paires de vérins 22 précontraints disposés en bordure de l'ouverture 8.FIGS. 5 to 7 show an alternative embodiment of the device against intrusion of a windshield according to the invention in which the bay frame previously described is replaced by an energy absorbing bay frame provided with anti-intrusion means constituted by two pairs of pretensioned cylinders 22 arranged at the edge of the opening 8.

Conformément à la figure 5 et au schéma de gauche de la figure 6, le cadre de baie 20 est constitué par un cadre rectangulaire entourant l'ouverture 8 comportant une face inférieure prenant appui sur le bouclier de protection 3 et une partie supérieure déformable faisant saillie vers le pare-brise 2. La partie supérieure du cadre 20 est formée d'une structure déformable 21 s'étendant sur le pourtour extérieur du cadre 20 et présente une face supérieure venant au contact du pare-brise, ce dernier n'étant pas représenté sur les figures 5 et 6, en bordure du pare-brise. Le cadre de baie 20 comporte, à proximité de deux bords opposés de l'ouverture 8, deux vérins 22 précontraints disposés tête-bêche parallèlement au bord de l'ouverture 8, chaque vérin 22 comportant un pied articulé sur le cadre de baie 20 au moyen d'une liaison pivot 22a autorisant un mouvement de rotation du vérin 22 dans le plan de l'ouverture 8, le vérin 22 comportant une tige coulissante présentant une tête reliée par une liaison rotule 22b à la tête de la tige coulissante du vérin 22 en vis-à-vis. Les vérins 22 ainsi positionnés sont précontraints et ont leur tête en butée contre un flan de la structure déformable 21 la plus proche, les têtes étant alors légèrement décalées par rapport à l'axe d passant par les pieds des deux vérins 22. In accordance with Figure 5 and the left-hand diagram of Figure 6, the berry frame 20 is constituted by a rectangular frame surrounding the opening 8 having a lower face bearing on the protective shield 3 and an upper part deformable protruding towards the windshield 2. The upper part of the frame 20 is formed of a deformable structure 21 extending on the outer periphery of the frame 20 and has an upper face coming into contact with the windshield, the latter not being shown in Figures 5 and 6, at the edge of the windshield. The bay frame 20 comprises, near two opposite edges of the opening 8, two jacks 22 prestressed arranged head to tail parallel to the edge of the opening 8, each cylinder 22 having a foot hinged to the frame 20 by means of a connection 22a pivot allowing a rotational movement of the cylinder 22 in the plane of the opening 8, the jack 22 comprising a sliding rod having a connected head by a ball joint 22b to the head of the sliding rod of the jack 22 vis-à-vis. The jacks 22 thus positioned are prestressed and have their head in abutment against a blank of the nearest deformable structure 21, the heads then being slightly offset relative to the axis passing through the feet of the two cylinders 22.

Conformément au schéma de droite de la figure 6 et à la figure 7, lors d'un choc provoquant le déplacement du pare-brise 2 en direction de la cabine 1, l'énergie du choc est partiellement absorbée par la déformation des structures déformables 21, la déformation de ces structures 21 provoquant simultanément un déplacement latéral des têtes des vérins 22 en direction de l'ouverture 8 au-delà de l'axe d, engendrant ainsi la détente soudaine des vérins 22 précontraints en regard de l'ouverture 8. Les vérins 22 ainsi détendus empêchent alors l'intrusion du pare-brise 2 dans la cabine 1.In accordance with the diagram on the right of Figure 6 and Figure 7, during a shock causing the windshield 2 to move towards the cabin 1, the energy of the shock is partially absorbed by the deformation of the deformable structures 21, the deformation of these structures 21 simultaneously causing a lateral displacement heads of the cylinders 22 towards the opening 8 beyond the axis d, generating and the sudden relaxation of the cylinders 22 prestressed next to the opening 8. The jacks 22 thus relaxed prevent the intrusion of the windshield 2 in the cabin 1.

Une telle variante du dispositif contre l'intrusion présente l'avantage de permettre une forte extension des vérins vers l'intérieur de l'ouverture réduisant d'autant la section de passage et assurant une grande efficacité au dispositif.Such a variant of the device against intrusion has the advantage of allowing a strong extension of the cylinders towards the inside of the opening reducing the section accordingly passage and ensuring high efficiency to the device.

La figure 8 représente une variante perfectionnée du dispositif précédemment décrit dans laquelle le blocage des vérins 22 le long du bord de l'ouverture 8 est réalisé par des moyens de blocage commandés, tel un ergot 23 commandé en translation par un moteur électrique. Cet ergot 23 est placé entre l'axe d et l'ouverture 8 et sert de butée aux têtes 22 b des vérins 22. Le moteur électrique permet l'effacement de l'ergot 23 et la détente des vérins 22 en regard de l'ouverture 8 sur commande du conducteur à partir pupitre de commande 5 ou automatiquement à partir de capteurs de chocs. Une telle variante de réalisation présente l'avantage de permettre une libération des vérins anti-intrusion 22 à la demande du conducteur, par exemple pour anticiper un choc.FIG. 8 represents an improved variant of the device previously described in which the locking of the jacks 22 along the edge of the opening 8 is achieved by controlled locking means, such as a pin 23 controlled in translation by a electric motor. This lug 23 is placed between the axis d and the opening 8 and serves as a stop to the heads 22 b of the cylinders 22. The electric motor allows the erasure of the pin 23 and the relaxation of the cylinders 22 facing the opening 8 on the driver's command to from control panel 5 or automatically from shock sensors. A such an embodiment has the advantage of allowing a release of the cylinders anti-intrusion 22 at the request of the driver, for example to anticipate a shock.

Les figures 9 à 11 présentent un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif contre l'intrusion d'un pare-brise selon l'invention. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la cabine de conduite 1, le châssis 4 du véhicule, les éléments absorbeurs d'énergie 9, la peau 6, le pare-brise 2 restent identiques à ceux décrits sur la figure 1.Figures 9 to 11 show another embodiment of the device against the intrusion of a windshield according to the invention. In this embodiment, the cabin of 1, the chassis 4 of the vehicle, the energy-absorbing elements 9, the skin 6, the windshield 2 remain identical to those described in FIG.

Conformément à la figure 10, le véhicule comporte un bouclier de protection 3 similaire à celui décrit précédemment mais qui supporte, autour de l'ouverture 8, quatre filins élastiques 32 régulièrement répartis autour de l'ouverture 8. Chaque filin élastique 32 est tendu entre deux points d'ancrage 34 du bouclier disposés sur deux côtés attenants de l'ouverture 8 et les filins 32 sont maintenus, sous forte tension, sensiblement parallèlement au bord adjacent de l'ouverture 8 par une griffe de maintien 33 disposée dans l'angle commun aux deux bords recevant les points d'ancrage 34. Les griffes 33 sont montées dans le bouclier 3 au travers d'un logement autorisant un déplacement, sous effort, de la griffe 33 suivant un axe b perpendiculaire au pare-brise 2. Chaque griffe de maintien 33 comporte un doigt de retenu 33a du filin élastique 32 ainsi qu'une béquille de transmission 33b s'étendant suivant l'axe b. La béquille de transmission 33b de chaque griffe, représentée partiellement arrachée pour deux des griffes sur la figure 10, vient au contact du pare-brise 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une extrémité coudée alors que le doigt de retenu 33a s'interrompt en direction du pare-brise 2 afin de permettre la libération du filin 32 lors d'un enfoncement de la griffe 33 à l'intérieur de son logement.According to Figure 10, the vehicle has a protective shield 3 similar to the one previously described but which supports, around the opening 8, four elastic threads 32 regularly distributed around the opening 8. Each thread elastic 32 is stretched between two anchor points 34 of the shield arranged on two adjacent sides of the opening 8 and the ropes 32 are maintained, under high tension, substantially parallel to the adjacent edge of the opening 8 by a claw of holding 33 arranged in the common angle to the two edges receiving the points 34. The claws 33 are mounted in the shield 3 through a housing allowing movement, under stress, of the claw 33 along an axis b perpendicular to the windshield 2. Each holding claw 33 has a finger of retained 33a of the elastic rope 32 and a transmission stand 33b extending along the axis b. The transmission stand 33b of each claw, shown partially torn off for two of the claws in Figure 10, comes into contact with the 2 windshield through a bent end while the retaining finger 33a stops in the direction of the windshield 2 to allow the release of the rope 32 during a depression of the claw 33 inside its housing.

Ainsi, comme cela est représenté à la figure 11, lors d'un choc engendrant le déplacement du pare-brise en direction de l'ouverture 8, les griffes 33 sont enfoncées dans leur logement du fait de l'appui du pare-brise 2 sur les béquilles 33b, ce qui provoque l'effacement des doigts de retenu 33a à l'intérieur du logement et la libération soudaine des filins élastiques 32 qui se détendent partiellement en se plaçant en travers de l'ouverture 8 limitant ainsi les risques d'intrusion du pare-brise 2 dans la cabine 3.Thus, as shown in FIG. 11, during an impact generating the moving the windshield towards the opening 8, the claws 33 are depressed in their housing because of the support of the windshield 2 on the crutches 33b, which causes the deletion of the retaining fingers 33a inside the housing and the sudden release of the elastic strings 32 which partially relax in themselves placing across the opening 8 thus limiting the risks of intrusion of the windshield 2 in the cabin 3.

Dans une variante perfectionnée du mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, les quatre griffes 33 seront avantageusement rendues solidaires les unes des autres par des tiges de liaison afin qu'une poussée exercée sur une seule des griffes 33 entraínent l'enfoncement de l'ensemble des griffes 33 et la libération simultanée des quatre filins élastiques 32.In an improved variant of the embodiment described above, the four claws 33 will advantageously be secured to each other by connecting rods so that a thrust exerted on one of the claws 33 cause the depression of all the claws 33 and the simultaneous release of four elastic threads 32.

Dans une autre variante perfectionnée du mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, les quatre griffes 33 auront leur mouvement de translation suivant l'axe b commandé par des actionneurs, tels des vérins pneumatiques, afin de permettre la libération anticipée des filins élastiques en prévision d'un choc, par exemple sur demande du conducteur à partir du pupitre de commande 5 ou automatiquement à partir de capteurs portés par le véhicule.In another improved variant of the previously described embodiment, the four claws 33 will have their translational movement along the axis b controlled by actuators, such as pneumatic cylinders, to enable the release anticipated elastic strings in anticipation of a shock, for example at the request of the driver from the control panel 5 or automatically from sensors carried by the vehicle.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemples. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated only given as examples. Modifications remain possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the domain of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation le bouclier de protection pourra être constitué par un treillis métallique.Thus, in an alternative embodiment the shield protection may be constituted by a wire mesh.

Ainsi, bien que les différents modes de réalisation précédemment décrits représentent un dispositif contre l'intrusion d'un pare-brise dans une cabine de conduite, le dispositif selon l'invention pourra également être utilisé pour empêcher l'intrusion d'une vitre latérale dans une cabine.Thus, although the various embodiments described above represent a device against the intrusion of a windscreen into a driver's cab, the device according to the invention may also be used to prevent intrusion a side window in a cabin.
