L'invention concerne un agencement d'un moyen de retenue à l'intérieur d'un véhicule automobile et plus particulièrement l'agencement d'un moyen de retenue pour une personne de petite taille à l'intérieur d'un véhicule automobile, comportant une sangle de ceinture de sécurité reliée à un enrouleur et munie d'au moins un pêne de verrouillage destiné à coopérer avec au moins un moyen de fixation complémentaire agencé à proximité d'une zone d'assise et comportant un dispositif amovible de guidage de la sangle de retenue monté sur des tiges de support d'un appui-tête.The invention relates to an arrangement of a retaining means inside a motor vehicle and more particularly to the arrangement of a retaining means for a small person inside a motor vehicle, comprising a seatbelt strap connected to a reel and provided with at least one locking bolt intended to cooperate with at least one complementary fastening means arranged near a seat area and comprising a removable guiding device retaining strap mounted on support rods of a headrest.
Dans le cas où l'on n'utilise pas de rehausseur, la ceinture de sécurité n'est pas bien positionnée pour un enfant, car le renvoi de sangle supérieur est trop haut par rapport à son épaule. De plus, pour que l'enfant soit en sécurité, il est nécessaire que la ceinture assure correctement sa fonction de retenue.In the case where a booster seat is not used, the seat belt is not well positioned for a child because the upper strap return is too high with respect to his shoulder. In addition, for the child to be safe, it is necessary that the belt correctly ensures its restraint function.
II faut également, pour l'utilisateur, que le dispositif soit facile à mettre en place et à retirer.It is also necessary for the user that the device is easy to set up and remove.
On connaît par la publication DE-A-4340337 un dispositif amovible monté sur des tiges d'appui-tête permettant le guidage de la sangle de retenue d'un occupant du siège. Cependant, ce dispositif présente l'inconvénient de ne pas être très aisé d'utilisation car il est nécessaire, d'abord, de retirer l'appui-tête pour pouvoir introduire les tiges dans des trous ménagés dans le dispositif. De plus, en raison de sa forme tubulaire, le dispositif a tendance à tourner et doit donc être maintenu pendant la mise en place de l'appui-tête, ce qui complique encore l'opération de montage. Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'un moyen de retenue assurant la sécurité et le confort du passager et pouvant être monté sans démontage de l'appui-tête.The publication DE-A-4340337 discloses a removable device mounted on headrest rods for guiding the retaining strap of a seat occupant. However, this device has the disadvantage of not being very easy to use because it is necessary, first, to remove the headrest to be able to introduce the rods into holes in the device. In addition, because of its tubular shape, the device tends to rotate and must be maintained during the introduction of the headrest, which further complicates the mounting operation. To overcome these drawbacks, the invention relates to an arrangement of a retaining means ensuring the safety and comfort of the passenger and can be mounted without disassembly of the headrest.

Dans la description qui va suivre, des éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence.In the following description, identical or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals.
Tel que représenté à la figure 1 , un véhicule (non représenté) comporte une banquette arrière 10 présentant un dossier 12 et une assise 14 comportant deux places latérales 16 et une place centrale 18. Les places latérales 16 sont équipées d'une ceinture de sécurité à trois points 20 comportant une sangle 22 reliée à un enrouleur (non représenté) et munie d'un pêne de verrouillage 23 destiné à coopérer avec un moyen de verrouillage complémentaire 24 se trouvant au voisinage de l'assise 14. La ceinture de sécurité 20 peut comporter également un renvoi de sangle supérieur 26. Dans le cas où la place centrale est elle aussi équipée d'une ceinture de sécurité à trois points, la ceinture 20 comporte alors un deuxième pêne de verrouillage 28 destiné à coopérer avec un deuxième moyen de verrouillage 30 agencé au voisinage de l'assise 14. Un dispositif amovible 32 est prévu pour modifier le positionnement de la sangle 22 de ceinture 20 pour un enfant ou une personne de petite taille.As shown in Figure 1, a vehicle (not shown) comprises a rear seat 10 having a backrest 12 and a seat 14 having two lateral seats 16 and a central square 18. The side seats 16 are equipped with a seat belt three-point 20 having a strap 22 connected to a reel (not shown) and provided with a locking bolt 23 for cooperating with a complementary locking means 24 located in the vicinity of the seat 14. The seat belt 20 may also include an upper strap return 26. In the case where the central place is also equipped with a three-point seat belt, the belt 20 then comprises a second locking bolt 28 for cooperating with a second means of lock 30 arranged in the vicinity of the seat 14. A removable device 32 is provided to change the positioning of the belt strap 20 for a child or a small person.
Tel que représenté à la figure 2, nous prendrons à titre non limitatif une orientation selon laquelle une direction longitudinale L correspond à la dimension la plus grande du dispositif 32, la direction verticale se trouvant dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 2.As represented in FIG. 2, we will take, in a nonlimiting manner, an orientation in which a longitudinal direction L corresponds to the largest dimension of the device 32, the vertical direction being in a plane perpendicular to the plane of FIG.
Le dispositif 32 est une plaque dont une extrémité 33 comporte un anneau 34 destiné à recevoir la sangle 22. Deux encoches 38 sont ménagées dans le dispositif 32, débouchant chacune dans un des bords longitudinaux opposés 36 du dispositif 32. Les encoches 38 sont destinées chacune à coopérer avec des tiges 40 verticales d'appui-tête 42. Les encoches 38 sont orientées selon une même direction D formant un angle avec l'axe longitudinal L.The device 32 is a plate whose end 33 comprises a ring 34 intended to receive the strap 22. Two notches 38 are formed in the device 32, each opening into one of the opposite longitudinal edges 36 of the device 32. The notches 38 are each intended to cooperate with vertical rods 40 of headrest 42. The notches 38 are oriented in the same direction D forming an angle with the longitudinal axis L.
Ainsi, le montage du dispositif 32 s'effectue simplement en deux étapes. Dans une première étape, l'utilisateur introduit une extrémité 44 de la plaque, opposée à l'anneau 34, entre les tiges 40 de l'appui-tête 42 et fait coopérer l'encoche 38 se trouvant du côté de l'extrémité 44 avec l'une des tiges 40. Dans une deuxième étape, il fait pivoter le dispositif 32 autour de ladite tige 40 selon le sens indiqué par la flèche F1 , jusqu'à ce que l'autre encoche 38 coopère avec l'autre tige 40. Il peut alors être prévu que les encoches 38 soient en arc de cercle de façon à faciliter le pivotement du dispositif 32.Thus, the mounting of the device 32 is performed simply in two steps. In a first step, the user introduces an end 44 of the plate, opposite the ring 34, between the rods 40 of the headrest 42 and cooperates with the notch 38 located on the side of the end 44. with one of the rods 40. In a second step, it rotates the device 32 around said rod 40 in the direction indicated by the arrow F1, until the other notch 38 cooperates with the other rod 40 It can then be provided that the notches 38 are in an arc so as to facilitate the pivoting of the device 32.
L'utilisateur peut aussi introduire l'extrémité 44 du dispositif 32 entre les tiges 40 de façon à placer les encoches 38 en regard des tiges 40 puis faire effectuer à la plaque un pivotement autour d'un axe vertical situé entre les tiges selon la direction indiquée par la flèche F1 de manière que les tiges 40 soient reçues dans les encoches 38. L'orientation des encoches 38 selon le sens indiqué par la flèche F1 permet le pivotement du dispositif 32.The user can also introduce the end 44 of the device 32 between the rods 40 so as to place the notches 38 opposite the rods 40 and then cause the plate to pivot about a vertical axis located between the rods in the direction indicated by the arrow F1 so that the rods 40 are received in the notches 38. The orientation of the notches 38 in the direction indicated by the arrow F1 allows the pivoting of the device 32.
Il peut aussi être prévu à l'intérieur d'au moins une des deux encoches 38 un rétrécissement (non représenté) tel qu'une butée ou une patte élastique par exemple. Ainsi, lors du pivotement du dispositif 32, le passage de la tige 40 dans le rétrécissement forme un point dur de façon que l'utilisateur soit sûr que le dispositif 32 est bien mis en place. Le rétrécissement peut aussi permettre d'éviter le pivotement accidentel du dispositif 32 en sens inverse.It can also be provided inside at least one of the two notches 38 a narrowing (not shown) such as a stop or an elastic tab for example. Thus, during the pivoting of the device 32, the passage of the rod 40 in the constriction forms a hard point so that the user is sure that the device 32 is well established. The narrowing may also prevent the accidental pivoting of the device 32 in the opposite direction.
L'utilisateur fait ensuite passer la sangle 22 dans l'anneau 34, le dimensionnement de ce dernier étant prévu pour pouvoir laisser passer les pênes de verrouillage 23,28, pour boucler le ou les pênes de ceintures sur les moyens de verrouillages 24, 30 correspondants.The user then passes the strap 22 in the ring 34, the dimensioning of the latter being provided to be able to pass the locking bolts 23,28, to buckle or the belt bolts on the locking means 24, 30 correspondents.
L'anneau 34 peut aussi comporter une fente latérale (non représentée) d'insertion de la sangle 22 conformée de façon à éviter que la sangle 22 ne puisse s'échapper accidentellement. Pour que le siège puisse être utilisé par un adulte, par exemple, il suffit à l'utilisateur d'effectuer les opérations précédentes en sens inverse pour le démontage du dispositif.The ring 34 may also include a lateral slot (not shown) for insertion of the strap 22 shaped so as to prevent the strap 22 from escaping accidentally. For the seat to be used by an adult, for example, it is sufficient for the user to perform the previous operations in reverse for disassembly of the device.
Lorsque le dispositif est en position montée sur les tiges 40 de l'appui-tête 42, la sangle 22 se trouvant en configuration d'utilisation et passant par l'anneau 34, exerce une force sur le dispositif 32 dans le sens indiqué par la flèche F1 , ce qui permet un verrouillage du dispositif 32 sur les tiges 40.When the device is in the mounted position on the rods 40 of the headrest 42, the strap 22 in the configuration of use and passing through the ring 34, exerts a force on the device 32 in the direction indicated by the F1 arrow, which allows a locking of the device 32 on the rods 40.
On peut aussi prévoir un réglage de la distance (non représenté) entre les deux encoches 38 de façon que le dispositif 32 puisse être adapté à n'importe quel type d'appui-tête. On peut également prévoir sur le dispositif 32 un moyen de fixation (non représenté) d'un dossier de siège enfant, ce qui permet d'utiliser le même dispositif 32 durant toute l'évolution et la croissance de l'enfant.It is also possible to provide an adjustment of the distance (not shown) between the two notches 38 so that the device 32 can be adapted to any type of headrest. It is also possible on the device 32 a fastening means (not shown) of a child seat back, which allows to use the same device 32 throughout the evolution and growth of the child.
Il est avantageux aussi de prévoir une zone de rangement (non représentée) du dispositif quand celui-ci n'est pas utilisé. En particulier il peut s'agir de deux plots en plastique (non représentés) aptes à coopérer avec les encoches 38 du dispositif 32. Les plots peuvent être alors agencés sur une paroi de l'habitacle, du coffre ou bien du rehausseur pour enfant.It is also advantageous to provide a storage area (not shown) of the device when it is not used. In particular it may be two plastic studs (not shown) able to cooperate with the notches 38 of the device 32. The studs can then be arranged on a wall of the passenger compartment, trunk or booster child.
Il peut être prévu un moyen de fixation 46 supplémentaire du dispositif sur le dossier du siège ou de la banquette. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'une vis passant à travers un trou ménagé dans la plaque entre les deux encoches 38 et qui est reçue dans un orifice taraudé (non représenté) ménagé dans le dossier du siège.It can be provided an additional fixing means 46 of the device on the back of the seat or bench. It may be for example a screw passing to through a hole in the plate between the two notches 38 and which is received in a threaded hole (not shown) formed in the seat back.
Avantageusement, le dispositif peut être utilisé comme support d'un logo ou d'une figurine pour enfant par exemple. En particulier la figurine peut former l'anneau de passage de la sangle.Advantageously, the device can be used as a support for a logo or a child figure for example. In particular the figurine can form the ring of passage of the strap.
Le dispositif 32 est intégré au dossier du siège ou de la banquette de façon qu'il ne présente pas d'angle dangereux pour un occupant du siège.The device 32 is integrated in the back of the seat or bench so that it does not present a dangerous angle for a seat occupant.
Le moyen de retenue selon l'invention permet ainsi de repositionner la sangle 22 pour que la ceinture de sécurité 20 soit plus confortable pour l'enfant. Ainsi, la sangle 22 ne risque pas de s'échapper et est correctement positionnée pour que l'enfant soit retenu en cas de choc.The retaining means according to the invention thus makes it possible to reposition the strap 22 so that the seat belt 20 is more comfortable for the child. Thus, the strap 22 is not likely to escape and is correctly positioned for the child to be retained in case of shock.
De plus, le dispositif 32 selon l'invention permet également d'assurer une retenue efficace de l'enfant, le dispositif 32 étant solidaire des tiges 40 d'appui-tête. De plus, de façon à améliorer les propriétés du moyen de retenue, le dispositif 32 est réalisé en acier.In addition, the device 32 according to the invention also ensures effective retention of the child, the device 32 being secured to the rods 40 headrest. In addition, so as to improve the properties of the retaining means, the device 32 is made of steel.
Le moyen de retenue selon l'invention est donc facile à utiliser, sûr et peu encombrant. Il est utilisable en place arrière centrale et il ne dégrade pas le confort et les fonctionnalités des autres emplacements, telles que, par exemple, la modularité de la banquette ou des sièges. Il ne perturbe pas non plus la vision arrière pour le conducteur.The retaining means according to the invention is easy to use, safe and compact. It is usable in the rear center position and it does not degrade the comfort and functionality of other locations, such as, for example, the modularity of the bench or seats. It does not disturb the rear vision for the driver either.
Dans une variante de l'invention, non représentée, les encoches 38 sont ménagées dans un même bord longitudinal 36. L'utilisateur doit alors, par une translation du dispositif 32 selon une direction perpendiculaire à celle des tiges 40, faire coopérer les encoches 38 avec les tiges 40 d'appui-tête. Un moyen de verrouillage, tel qu'une tirette, par exemple, permet alors de maintenir en place le dispositif sur les tiges. In a variant of the invention, not shown, the notches 38 are formed in the same longitudinal edge 36. The user must then, by a translation of the device 32 in a direction perpendicular to that of the rods 40, to cooperate the notches 38 with the stems 40 of headrest. Locking means, such as a zipper, for example, then allows to keep in place the device on the rods.
