The locking units are carried by an inner peripheral area (24) of the grill and cooperate with orifices (22) arranged at a rim (20) of the panel.

Description

L'invention concerne un agencement d'une grille de haut-parleur sur un panneau de garniture de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile par des moyens de fixation.The invention relates to an arrangement of a loudspeaker grille on a trim panel of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle by fixing means.

Il est connu, par exemple, par la publication DE-A-4024758 de protéger un haut-parleur fixé sur un panneau de garniture d'un véhicule automobile au moyen d'une grille montée par des moyens d'encliquetage, ce qui permet, entre autre, de faciliter le processus de montage mais aussi le démontage de la grille en cas de besoin, comme cela peut-être nécessaire en après-vente.It is known, for example, by the publication DE-A-4024758 to protect a loudspeaker fixed to a trim panel of a motor vehicle by means of a grid mounted by snap-fastening means, which makes it possible, inter alia, to facilitate the assembly process but also the dismantling of the grid when needed, as may be necessary in after-sales.

Cependant, cet agencement peut présenter des inconvénients en cas d'accident, et plus particulièrement en cas de choc latéral lorsque les haut-parleurs sont agencés dans des portes, car la grille peut se détacher et être éjectée dans l'habitacle du véhicule.However, this arrangement may have disadvantages in the event of an accident, and more particularly in the event of a side impact when the speakers are arranged in doors, because the grille can detach and be ejected in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'une grille de haut-parleur dont le montage soit simple et qui ne risque pas d'être éjectée en cas de choc.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the object of the invention is an arrangement of a loudspeaker grille whose assembly is simple and which is not likely to be ejected in the event of an impact.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un agencement d'une grille de haut-parleur de véhicule automobile du type cité ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un élément anti-éjection, qui est apte, lorsque le véhicule est soumis à un choc et que la grille n'est plus retenue par les moyens de fixation, à maintenir la grille au moins partiellement solidaire du panneau de garniture.For this purpose, the invention proposes an arrangement of a motor vehicle loudspeaker grille of the type mentioned above, characterized in that it comprises at least one anti-ejection element, which is suitable, when the vehicle is subjected to a shock and that the grid is no longer retained by the fastening means, to maintain the grid at least partially integral with the trim panel.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention:

  • Les moyens de fixation sont des moyens d'encliquetage, portés par une zone périphérique interne de la grille, qui coopèrent avec des orifices ménagés dans un rebord du panneau de garniture.
  • L'élément anti-éjection se situe dans une zone supérieure de la grille de haut-parleur.
  • L'élément anti-éjection comporte une patte, qui s'étend selon un plan sensiblement parallèle à celui du panneau de garniture et qui est munie de deux bras latéraux déformables élastiquement, ledit élément anti-éjection étant apte à coopérer avec un orifice du rebord du panneau de garniture.
  • Le montage de la grille sur le panneau de garniture s'effectue en deux étapes :
    • dans un premier temps, la patte est introduite dans l'orifice, les bras se déformant élastiquement le long des bords de l'orifice jusqu'à ce que, n'étant plus en contact avec les bords, ils retrouvent automatiquement leur forme initiale,
    • dans un deuxième temps, la grille est fixée sur le panneau par l'intermédiaire des moyens de fixation, par un appui sur la surface de la grille.
  • Sous l'effet d'un choc, les moyens de fixation se désolidarisent du panneau de garniture et, sous l'effet du poids de la grille, la patte glisse alors en partie dans l'orifice, les bras de l'élément anti-éjection étant aptes à se déformer et à être retenus par les bords de l'orifice, de façon que la grille reste solidaire du panneau de garniture.
  • Les bords de l'orifice destiné à recevoir l'élément anti-éjection sont munis de nervures aptes à faciliter le guidage et à permettre une meilleure retenue des bras à l'intérieur de l'orifice en cas de choc.
According to other features of the invention:
  • The fastening means are latching means, carried by an inner peripheral zone of the grid, which cooperate with orifices formed in a flange of the trim panel.
  • The anti-ejection element is located in an upper zone of the loudspeaker grille.
  • The anti-ejection element comprises a lug, which extends in a plane substantially parallel to that of the lining panel and which is provided with two elastically deformable lateral arms, said anti-ejection element being able to cooperate with an orifice of the rim. trim panel.
  • The grid is mounted on the trim panel in two stages:
    • at first, the tab is introduced into the orifice, the arms deforming elastically along the edges of the orifice until, no longer in contact with the edges, they automatically return to their original shape,
    • in a second step, the grid is fixed on the panel via the fastening means, by pressing on the surface of the grid.
  • Under the effect of a shock, the fastening means are separated from the trim panel and, under the effect of the weight of the grid, the tab then slides partly into the hole, the arms of the anti-lock element. ejection being able to deform and be retained by the edges of the orifice, so that the grid remains integral with the trim panel.
  • The edges of the orifice intended to receive the anti-ejection element are provided with ribs adapted to facilitate the guiding and to allow better retention of the arms inside the orifice in case of impact.

Pour des raisons de clarté de la description, nous prendrons à titre non limitatif la convention selon laquelle les parties externes de l'agencement sont situées du côté de l'habitacle, les parties internes étant alors opposées aux parties externes.For the sake of clarity of the description, we will not limit the convention that the external parts of the arrangement are located on the side of the passenger compartment, the internal parts then being opposed to the outer parts.

Des éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence.Identical or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals.

Tel que représenté à la figure 1, un haut-parleur 10 est agencé sur un panneau de garniture 12, par des moyens de fixations connus en soi, donc non décrits en détail. La périphérie du haut-parleur peut par exemple comporter des pattes de fixation 14 destinées à recevoir une vis 16. Afin de le protéger de la poussière et de détériorations, le haut-parleur10 est recouvert par une grille 18.As shown in figure 1 a loudspeaker 10 is arranged on a trim panel 12, by fastening means known per se, and therefore not described in detail. The periphery of the loudspeaker may for example comprise fixing lugs 14 intended to receive a screw 16. In order to protect it from dust and damage, the loudspeaker10 is covered by a grid 18.

Le panneau de garniture 12 forme tout autour du haut-parleur 10 un rebord 20 dans lequel sont ménagés des orifices 22.The trim panel 12 forms around the loudspeaker 10 a flange 20 in which orifices 22 are formed.

Une zone périphérique interne 24 de la grille 18 présente des moyens d'encliquetage 26 qui sont aptes, comme représenté à la figure 2, à coopérer avec les orifices 22 du rebord 20 du panneau de garniture 12.An inner peripheral zone 24 of the grid 18 has latching means 26 which are capable, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , to cooperate with the orifices 22 of the flange 20 of the trim panel 12.

Une partie supérieure de la zone périphérique interne 24 de la grille 18 comporte également un élément anti-éjection 28. L'élément anti-éjection 28 peut remplacer un des moyens d'encliquetage 26 ou bien être porté par l'un d'eux.An upper portion of the inner peripheral zone 24 of the grid 18 also has an anti-ejection element 28. The anti-ejection element 28 can replace one of the latching means 26 or be carried by one of them.

Les grilles de haut-parleur étant généralement réalisées en plastique, les moyens d'encliquetage 26 et l'élément anti-éjection 28 peuvent être venus de matière avec la grille 18 ou bien rapportés.Since the speaker grids are generally made of plastic, the latching means 26 and the anti-ejection element 28 may be integral with the grid 18 or may be attached.

Tel que représenté à la figure 3, l'élément anti-éjection 28 comporte une patte 30 s'étendant selon un plan sensiblement parallèle à celui du panneau de garniture 12.As shown in figure 3 , the anti-ejection element 28 comprises a lug 30 extending in a plane substantially parallel to that of the lining panel 12.

Tel que représenté à la figure 4, la patte 30 comporte deux bras latéraux 32, déformables élastiquement. La patte 30 est destinée à coopérer avec l'un 22s des orifices 22.As shown in figure 4 , the tab 30 comprises two lateral arms 32, elastically deformable. The tab 30 is intended to cooperate with one 22s of the orifices 22.

Ainsi le montage de la grille 18 sur le panneau de garniture 12 s'effectue en deux étapes. Dans un premier temps, la patte 30 est insérée dans l'orifice 22s situé dans la partie supérieure du haut-parleur 10. Lors de cette étape, les bras latéraux 32 fléchissent au contact des bords 34 de l'orifice 22s jusqu'à ce que, n'étant plus en contact avec les bords 34, ils reprennent automatiquement leur forme initiale. Les bords 34 de l'orifice 22s destiné à recevoir la patte 30 peuvent comporter, du côté de la zone périphérique interne 24, une nervure 38, qui peut, lors d'un choc, permettre un guidage et assurer une retenue plus efficace de la patte 30 à l'intérieur de l'orifice 22s, par l'intermédiaire des bras 32. Les dimensions de l'orifice 22s sont prévues pour permettre le passage, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, de la patte 30 et des bras 32 fléchis contre la patte 30, mais pas le passage de la patte 30 en sens inverse une fois que les bras 32 ont retrouvé leur forme initiale.Thus the mounting of the grid 18 on the trim panel 12 is carried out in two steps. In a first step, the tab 30 is inserted into the orifice 22s located in the upper part of the loudspeaker 10. During this step, the lateral arms 32 flex in contact with the edges 34 of the orifice 22s until that, no longer in contact with the edges 34, they automatically resume their original shape. The edges 34 of the orifice 22s intended to receive the tab 30 may comprise, on the side of the inner peripheral zone 24, a rib 38, which may, during an impact, allow guiding and ensure a more effective retention of the leg 30 inside the orifice 22s, through the arms 32. The dimensions of the orifice 22s are provided to allow the passage, from the outside to the inside, of the leg 30 and arms 32 bent against the leg 30, but not the passage of the leg 30 in the opposite direction once the arms 32 have returned to their original shape.

Dans un deuxième temps, une fois la patte 30 insérée à l'intérieur de l'orifice 22s, un appui sur la grille 18 en direction du panneau 12, permet de fixer la grille 18 sur le panneau 12 par encliquetage des moyens 26. La grille 18 en position montée se trouve alors dans le prolongement de la surface du panneau 12.In a second step, once the tab 30 inserted inside the orifice 22s, a support on the grid 18 in the direction of the panel 12, allows to fix the grid 18 on the panel 12 by snapping means 26. The grid 18 in mounted position is then in the extension of the surface of the panel 12.

Lorsqu'elle est en position montée, la grille est maintenue par les moyens d'encliquetage 26 et les bras 32 de la patte 30 ne sont alors en contact ni avec les bords 34 de l'orifice 22s ni avec les nervures 38.When in the mounted position, the grid is held by the latching means 26 and the arms 32 of the tab 30 are then in contact neither with the edges 34 of the orifice 22s nor with the ribs 38.

La grille 18 peut donc être montée de manière facile et rapide sur le panneau de garniture 12.The grid 18 can therefore be mounted easily and quickly on the trim panel 12.

Tel que représenté aux figures 4 et 5, lorsque le véhicule est soumis à un effort sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan du panneau 12, comme dans le cas d'un accident avec choc latéral, les moyens d'encliquetage 26 peuvent sortir des orifices 22, ce qui entraîne alors le détachement d'une partie inférieure de la grille 18.As represented in Figures 4 and 5 when the vehicle is subjected to a force substantially perpendicular to the plane of the panel 12, as in the case of a crash with side impact, the latching means 26 can exit the orifices 22, which then causes the detachment of a lower part of the grid 18.

Sous l'effet du poids de la grille 18, la patte 30 glisse alors à l'intérieur de l'orifice 22 et est retenue par les bras 32 qui se déforment et entrent en contact avec les bords 34 ou bien avec les nervures 38 lorsque les bords 34 en sont munis, assurant de cette manière la solidarisation de la grille 18 avec le panneau 12.Under the effect of the weight of the grid 18, the tab 30 then slides inside the orifice 22 and is retained by the arms 32 which deform and come into contact with the edges 34 or with the ribs 38 when the edges 34 are provided, thereby ensuring the fastening of the grid 18 with the panel 12.

Ainsi, tel que représenté à la figure 6, la grille 18 est suspendue le long du panneau 12 grâce au moyen 28, ce qui empêche son éjection en direction de l'habitacle.Thus, as represented in figure 6 , the grid 18 is suspended along the panel 12 through the means 28, which prevents its ejection towards the passenger compartment.
