Description

VEHICULE COMPORTANT UN PORTE-CHARGEVEHICLE COMPRISING A LOAD CARRIER
L'invention concerne un véhicule automobile comportant un coffre accessible par un ouvrant, et muni d'un porte-charge, agencé à l'arrière du véhicule et présentant une configuration d'utilisation dans laquelle le porte-charge ou son contenu s'étend au moins en partie devant l'accès au coffre.The invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising a trunk accessible by an opening, and provided with a load carrier, arranged at the rear of the vehicle and having a configuration of use in which the load carrier or its contents extend. at least partly in front of the access to the trunk.
H est très fréquent d'équiper des véhicules automobiles de porte- charges tels que des porte-vélos, par exemple. Il existe des porte- vélos pouvant être agencés sur le pavillon du véhicule, ce qui a pour intérêt de ne pas gêner l'accès au coffre mais ce qui a pour inconvénient d'augmenter la consommation du véhicule et les bruyances.It is very common to equip motor vehicles with load carriers such as bicycle carriers, for example. There are bicycle carriers that can be arranged on the roof of the vehicle, which has the advantage of not hampering access to the boot but which has the drawback of increasing the consumption of the vehicle and the noise.
Les porte-vélos agencés à l'arrière du véhicule donnent un meilleur coefficient aérodynamique au véhicule mais, en même temps, gênent l'accès au coffre, car on est obligé de démonter le dispositif pour ouvrir la porte du coffre.The bicycle carriers arranged at the rear of the vehicle give a better aerodynamic coefficient to the vehicle but, at the same time, hinder access to the trunk, since it is necessary to dismantle the device to open the trunk door.
Il est connu, par la publication US-A-5544799, un porte-charge, agencé à l'arrière d'un véhicule, comportant un support relié au véhicule et une partie mobile fixée sur ledit support par intermédiatre d'un bras latéral. Le bras latéral est monté à rotation autour d'un axe vertical de façon que la partie mobile puisse être escamotée sur le côté afin de permettre l'ouverture de la porte du coffre.It is known, from publication US-A-5544799, a load carrier, arranged at the rear of a vehicle, comprising a support connected to the vehicle and a movable part fixed to said support by means of a lateral arm. The side arm is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis so that the movable part can be retracted to the side to allow the opening of the trunk door.
H est aussi connu par la publication US-A-5685469 un porte-charge, agencé à l'arrière d'un véhicule, comportant un support fixé sur le véhicule et une partie mobile reliée au support par l'intermédiaire d'un axe horizontal. La partie mobile est montée à rotation autour de l'axe horizontal de manière que l'on puisse ouvrir la porte du coffre en abaissant ia partie mobile du porte-charge. Ces deux agencements de porte-charges, comme ceux décrits dans de nombreux documents de l'état de la technique, permettent effectivement d'ouvrir et d'accéder au coffre mais nécessitent des manipulations supplémentaires pour l'utilisateur. De plus, en fonction du poids de la charge, l'opération de rotation du porte-charge peut être rendue difficile pour l'utilisateur.It is also known from publication US-A-5685469 a load carrier, arranged at the rear of a vehicle, comprising a support fixed to the vehicle and a movable part connected to the support via a horizontal axis . The mobile part is rotatably mounted about the horizontal axis so that the trunk door can be opened by lowering the mobile part of the load carrier. These two load-carrier arrangements, such as those described in numerous documents of the state of the art, effectively make it possible to open and access the trunk but require additional manipulations for the user. In addition, depending on the weight of the load, the rotation of the load carrier can be made difficult for the user.
En outre, le dispositif est plus compliqué et donc plus onéreux à fabriquer.In addition, the device is more complicated and therefore more expensive to manufacture.
Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un véhicule automobile, muni d'un porte-charge, et dans lequel l'accès au coffre est facilité.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the invention relates to a motor vehicle, provided with a load carrier, and in which access to the boot is facilitated.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un véhicule muni d'un porte charge du type cité ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que le coffre comporte au moins un abattant monté mobile entre une position rabattue dans laquelle il obture au moins partiellement une ouverture du coffre et une position ouverte dans laquelle au moins une partie du coffre est directement accessible lorsque le porte-charge demeure en configuration d'utilisation.To this end, the invention provides a vehicle provided with a load carrier of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the trunk comprises at least one flap mounted movable between a folded position in which it at least partially closes an opening of the trunk and an open position in which at least part of the trunk is directly accessible when the load carrier remains in the configuration of use.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention: - L'abattant est apte à passer de sa position rabattue à sa position ouverte par une rotation autour d'au moins un axe transversal.According to other characteristics of the invention: - The flap is able to pass from its folded position to its open position by rotation around at least one transverse axis.
- L'axe transversal est porté par un bord inférieur de l'ouverture.- The transverse axis is carried by a lower edge of the opening.
- L'axe transversal est porté par un bord supérieur de l'ouverture.- The transverse axis is carried by an upper edge of the opening.
- Il est prévu des moyens de limitation du débattement de l'abattant lorsque le porte-charge est en configuration d'utilisation de façon à éviter un contact entre l'abattant et le porte-charge.- Means are provided for limiting the travel of the flap when the load carrier is in the configuration of use so as to avoid contact between the flap and the load carrier.
- Le moyen de limitation comprend un capteur de présence.- The limiting means includes a presence sensor.
- L'abattant est monté sur l'ouvrant.- The flap is mounted on the sash.
- Le porte-charge est un porte-vélo.- The load carrier is a bicycle carrier.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description d'exemples de réalisation d'un véhicule muni d'un porte-charge en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : - La figure 1 est une vue arrière d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un véhicule selon l'invention, qui, pour des raisons de clarté, ne comporte pas le porte-charge.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description of exemplary embodiments of a vehicle provided with a load carrier with reference to the appended drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a rear view of a first embodiment of a vehicle according to the invention, which, for reasons of clarity, does not include the load carrier.
- La figure 2 est une vue latérale du véhicule de la figure 1 comportant le porte-charge, le coffre n'étant pas accessible.- Figure 2 is a side view of the vehicle of Figure 1 comprising the load carrier, the trunk not being accessible.

Dans la description qui suit, nous prendrons à titre non limitatif une orientation longitudinale, verticale et transversale indiquée par le trièdre L,V,T de la figure 1.In the description which follows, we will take, without limitation, a longitudinal, vertical and transverse orientation indicated by the trihedron L, V, T of FIG. 1.
Des éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence.Identical or analogous elements are designated by the same reference numbers.
Tel que représenté à la figure 2, un véhicule 10, comportant un coffre 12, est muni d'un porte-charge 14, agencé à l'arrière du véhicule 10.As shown in FIG. 2, a vehicle 10, comprising a trunk 12, is provided with a load carrier 14, arranged at the rear of the vehicle 10.
Le porte-charge 14 est représenté ici dans sa configuration d'utilisation.The load carrier 14 is shown here in its configuration of use.
Il peut s'agir, par exemple, d'un porte-vélo 14 amovible du type de celui décrit dans la demande n° WO-A-03039912 déposée par la Demanderesse. Le porte-vélo 14 comporte un support 16 s'étendant dans un plan globalement horizontal prévu pour accueillir un vélo 18. Le porte-vélo 14 présente aussi deux bras de fixation 20 longitudinaux coopérant avec au moins un élément de structure arrière 22 du véhicule 10.It may be, for example, a removable bicycle carrier 14 of the type described in application No. WO-A-03039912 filed by the Applicant. The bicycle carrier 14 comprises a support 16 extending in a generally horizontal plane intended to accommodate a bicycle 18. The bicycle carrier 14 also has two longitudinal fixing arms 20 cooperating with at least one rear structural element 22 of the vehicle 10 .
Le vélo 18 est agencé transversalement sur 1e support 16 selon un plan vertical et s'étend devant l'accès au coffre 12. Tel que représenté à la figure 1, le coffre 12 est accessible par un ouvrant 23, tel qu'un hayon, par exemple, comportant une ouverture 24 munie d'au moins un abattant 26. En position fermée, l'abattant 26 obture au moins en partie l'ouverture 24 du coffre 12.The bicycle 18 is arranged transversely on the support 16 in a vertical plane and extends in front of the access to the boot 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the boot 12 is accessible by an opening 23, such as a tailgate, for example, having an opening 24 provided with at least one flap 26. In the closed position, the flap 26 at least partially closes the opening 24 of the trunk 12.
L'abattant 26 est représenté ici porté par l'ouvrant 23 mais il pourrait également être prévu que l'ouvrant 23 et l'abattant 26 soient séparés et distincts, l'ouvrant 23 se trouvant par exempte au-dessus de l'abattant 26.The flap 26 is shown here carried by the leaf 23 but it could also be provided that the leaf 23 and the flap 26 are separate and distinct, the leaf 23 being for example above the flap 26 .
L'abattant 26 est monté à rotation autour d'un axe transversal A porté par un bord inférieur 30 de l'ouverture 24 du coffre 12.The flap 26 is mounted for rotation about a transverse axis A carried by a lower edge 30 of the opening 24 of the boot 12.
L'abattant 26 comporte des moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage, non représentés, qui ne seront donc pas décrits car connus de l'état de la technique.The flap 26 includes closing and locking means, not shown, which will therefore not be described since they are known from the state of the art.
Tel que représenté à la figure 3, le porte-vélo 14 a été maintenu en configuration d'utilisation.As shown in Figure 3, the bike carrier 14 has been maintained in the configuration of use.
L'abattant 26 est passé de sa position rabattue à une position ouverte, dans laquelle une partie au moins du coffre 12 est accessible, par une rotation autour de l'axe transversal A vers l'extérieur du véhicule. En position ouverte maximale, un bord supérieur 32 de l'abattant 26 se trouve à proximité du porte-charge 14 et de son contenu 18. De cette manière, le débattement de l'abattant 26 prévu est suffisant pour qu'un utilisateur puisse facilement glisser ou récupérer un objet dans le coffre 12 sans avoir besoin ni de démonter le porte-vélo 14 ou le vélo 18, ni d'effectuer une quelconque manipulation sur le porte-vélo 14. Avantageusement, il peut être prévu une butée élastique, non représentée, sur le support 16 de façon à éviter toute collision entre l'abattant et le porte-charge 14 ou son contenu 18 pouvant entraîner des dommages et des réparations.The flap 26 has moved from its folded position to an open position, in which at least part of the boot 12 is accessible, by rotation about the transverse axis A towards the outside of the vehicle. In the maximum open position, an upper edge 32 of the flap 26 is located near the load carrier 14 and its contents 18. In this way, the travel of the flap 26 provided is sufficient for a user to be able to easily slide or retrieve an object in the trunk 12 without the need either to disassemble the bicycle carrier 14 or the bicycle 18, or to carry out any manipulation on the bicycle carrier 14. Advantageously, an elastic stop can be provided, not shown, on the support 16 so as to avoid any collision between the flap and the load carrier 14 or its contents 18 which could lead to damage and repairs.
Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur veut ouvrir le coffre 12, il tire sur l'abattant 26 et le fait pivoter vers le bas jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne la butée élastique que l'on peut choisir dans une matière telle que le caoutchouc, par exemple. Avantageuse ent, il peut être prévu sur l'abattant 26 des moyens de limitation, non représentés, du débattement de l'abattant 26 de façon à éviter toute collision entre l'abattant 26 et le porte-charge 14 ou son contenu 18. Dans une première variante de l'invention, dans laquelle l'abattant 26 est ouvert manuellement, le moyen de limitation du débattement peut être mécanique et adapté par l'utilisateur en fonction de la distance entre l'arrière du véhicule et le porte-charge 14 ou Je contenu 18 du porte-charge 14. Selon une deuxième variante de l'invention dans laquelle l'ouverture de l'abattant 26 est motorisée et par exemple commandée à distance, le moyen de limitation du débattement peut comporter un capteur, non représenté, placé sur l'abattant 26 et permettant de détecter la présence d'un obstacle tel que le porte-charge 14 ou le contenu 18 en vue de stopper la course de l'abattant 26.Thus, when the user wants to open the trunk 12, he pulls on the flap 26 and makes it pivot down until it reaches the elastic stop which can be chosen in a material such as rubber. , for example. Advantageously, there may be provided on the flap 26 means for limiting, not shown, the travel of the flap 26 so as to avoid any collision between the flap 26 and the load carrier 14 or its contents 18. In a first variant of the invention, in which the flap 26 is opened manually, the travel limitation means can be mechanical and adapted by the user as a function of the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the load carrier 14 or I content 18 of the load carrier 14. According to a second variant of the invention in which the opening of the flap 26 is motorized and for example remotely controlled, the means for limiting the travel can include a sensor, not shown , placed on the flap 26 and making it possible to detect the presence of an obstacle such as the load carrier 14 or the content 18 in order to stop the travel of the flap 26.
Des moyens de détection peuvent également être prévus pour empêcher l'ouverture de l'ouvrant 23 en présence du porte-charge 14.Detection means can also be provided to prevent the opening of the opening 23 in the presence of the load carrier 14.
Ainsi, l'abattant 26 présente l'avantage d'être compatible avec un porte-charge 14 de type quelconque.Thus, the flap 26 has the advantage of being compatible with a load carrier 14 of any type.
Bien évidemment, dans le cas où l'utilisateur a besoin d'ouvrir le coffre entièrement, il lui est cependant possible, en démontant le porte-charge, d'ouvrir entièrement l'abattant 26.Obviously, in the case where the user needs to open the trunk entirely, it is however possible for him, by dismantling the load carrier, to fully open the flap 26.
Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté à la figure 4, l'abattant 26 est monté mobile autour d'un axe transversal B porté par un bord supérieur 36 de l'ouverture 24 du coffre 12. Ainsi, pour passer de sa position rabattue à sa position ouverte, l'abattant 26 effectue une rotation de bas en haut autour de l'axe B.In a second embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 4, the flap 26 is mounted movable about a transverse axis B carried by an upper edge 36 of the opening 24 of the trunk 12. Thus, to pass from its folded down position to its open position, the flap 26 rotates from bottom to top around the axis B.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'abattant 26 forme une trappe permettant ainsi de glisser à l'intérieur du coffre des objets longs 38 tels que des skis ou des planches, par exemple, que l'on peut laisser dépasser au moins en partie et prendre appui sur le porte-charge 14, et ce, sans avoir besoin de modifier la configuration du porte-charge 14. Il peut être prévu sur le porte-charge 14 des moyens de maintien, non représentés, des objets 38-In this embodiment, the flap 26 forms a hatch thus making it possible to slide inside the trunk long objects 38 such as skis or boards, for example, which can be allowed to protrude at least in part and lean on the load carrier 14, and this, without the need to modify the configuration of the load carrier 14. There may be provided on the load carrier 14 means for holding, not shown, objects 38-
De façon analogue au premier mode de réalisation, l'abattant 26 peut être mû par des moyens manuels ou motorisés. Il peut aussi comporter des moyens de limitation de l'ouverture de l'abattant 26.Similarly to the first embodiment, the flap 26 can be moved by manual or motorized means. It may also include means for limiting the opening of the flap 26.
Ainsi, grâce à ce deuxième mode de réalisation, il est possible de laisser dépasser des objets du coffre 12 sans que cela ne présente de danger. De plus, en cas de pluie, l'intérieur du coffre 12 est protégé par l'abattant 26.Thus, thanks to this second embodiment, it is possible to allow objects from the trunk 12 to protrude without this presenting any danger. In addition, in the event of rain, the interior of the boot 12 is protected by the flap 26.
Dans une variante non représentée du deuxième mode de réalisation, l'abattant 26 est fixé sur l'ouvrant 23 par l'intermédiaire d'un parallélogramme de façon que le plan de l'abattant 26, lorsque celui-ci est en position ouverte, soit sensiblement parallèle à celui de l'ouvrant 23, ce qui permet de ne pas du tout gêner l'accès au coffre, même si le porte-charge 14 est très proche de l'arrière du véhicule 10.In a variant not shown of the second embodiment, the flap 26 is fixed to the opening 23 by means of a parallelogram so that the plane of the flap 26, when the latter is in the open position, is substantially parallel to that of the opening 23, which makes it possible not to hinder access to the boot at all, even if the load carrier 14 is very close to the rear of the vehicle 10.
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple et peut comporter d'autres types de porte-charges. Par exemple, le porte- charge peut être fixé sur une partie supérieure arrière du véhicule et s'étendre devant l'accès au coffre.Of course, the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described which has been given only by way of example and may include other types of load carriers. For example, the load carrier can be fixed on a rear upper part of the vehicle and extend in front of the access to the boot.
Le véhicule selon l'invention présente donc l'avantage de permettre un accès facile à au moins une partie du coffre tout en laissant le porte-charge en place c'est-à-dire dans sa configuration d'utilisation. The vehicle according to the invention therefore has the advantage of allowing easy access to at least part of the boot while leaving the load carrier in place, that is to say in its configuration of use.
