Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the storage and transportation of motor vehicle bumpers.
  • a motor vehicle bumper is usually manufactured outside the vehicle assembly line.
  • the manufacture of a bumper includes steps of assembling several functional elements on a bumper skin.
  • the bumper may include sensors, reinforcements or optics.
  • the bumper with these functional elements is then mounted in a single operation on the vehicle body, on the assembly line.
  • Bumpers are usually stored and transported on a bumper storage cart, also known as a “storage rack”.
  • the rack allows simultaneous manipulation of several bumpers by means of a forklift.
  • bumpers are juxtaposed next to each other and stacked on several levels.
  • the bumper storage rack usually includes a set of bumper housings, which maintain a predetermined spacing between the bumpers.
  • each housing are adapted to the storage of a particular type of bumper.
  • the racks are specifically designed for storing only one type of bumper so that when designing a new vehicle, it is necessary to design and manufacture new racks.
  • FR 2,832,387 describes a spacer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention aims to allow the use of a standard rack that is not necessary to change when designing a new type of motor vehicle bumper.
  • the subject of the invention is a spacer intended to keep at a distance the first and second skins of motor vehicle bumpers juxtaposed during a period of storage or transport, the spacer comprising at least a first end comprising means for securing to an element integral with the first bumper skin and at least one second end comprising support means on an element integral with the second bumper skin.
  • the spacing means of the bumper skins are not worn by the rack. It is therefore possible to design a standard rack.
  • the spacer according to the invention is manufactured separately from the rack. Since the spacer is a small part, it is possible to design and manufacture new ones for each new motor vehicle at a lower cost.
  • the spacer further comprises a bearing zone intended to cooperate with the support means of another spacer.
  • the support means and the support zone are shaped to cooperate together by snapping.
  • the spacer made of foam.
  • the spacer may be a block of foam intended to be attached to a skin.
  • the foam has the advantage of damping vibrations and shocks generated during transport.
  • the subject of the invention is also a bumper skin of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising at least one of the elements of the assembly constituted by means for fixing an optical block, fixing means for a grid, means for fixing a strip, means for fixing a sensor, means for fixing a skin reinforcement, means for fixing a police plate, means for fixing the skin at the vehicle body, means for attaching a badge, cable attachment means, means for fixing a headlight washer and means for fixing a towing hook, the bumper skin further comprising means for securing a spacer as previously defined, the means for securing the spacer being separate from each of the fastening means of the aforementioned assembly and being complementary to the fastening means carried by the first end of the spacer.
  • the bumper skin is thus locally adapted so that it comprises means for securing the spacer complementary to the securing means carried by the first end of the spacer.
  • These securing means may be for example a notch for receiving a clip or a hole for receiving a screw.
  • the invention also relates to a bumper skin of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising at least one of the elements of the assembly constituted by means for fixing an optical block, means for fixing a gate, means for fixing a band, means for fixing a sensor, means for fixing a skin reinforcement, means fixing a police plate, means for attaching the skin to the vehicle body, means for attaching a badge, cable fixing means, means for fixing a headlight washer, and means for fixing a towing hook, the bumper skin further comprising at least one spacer as defined previously molded at its first end with the skin, the spacer being distinct from each of the fastening means of the aforementioned set.
  • This embodiment is particularly interesting since the spacer is manufactured at the same time as the bumper skin. This saves time and material. Indeed, the fastening of the spacer to the bumper skin does not require any additional operation.
  • the spacer comprises, in the vicinity of its first end means for easily separating the spacer from the skin, these means comprising for example a local decrease in thickness.
  • the spacer is shaped as a skin reinforcement and is connected by a hinge connection so that it is adapted to adopt, during transport or storage, a first position in which it has a spacer function and a second position, when mounting on the vehicle, wherein it substantially matches the inner shape of the skin and has a reinforcing function.
  • the invention also relates to a bumper skin reinforcement of the type comprising means for securing to a bumper skin, further comprising at least one spacer as previously defined.
  • the spacer is particularly advantageous for the spacer to be carried by a bumper reinforcement. Indeed, it is easy to fix the spacer to the reinforcing element which is a small element.
  • the spacer is molded at its first end with the reinforcement.
  • Such a piece is very easy to design and manufacture.
  • the spacer does not constitute a reinforcement of the bumper skin
  • at the first end of the spacer means for facilitating separation of the spacer once it has been removed. 'has more function, that is to say after the transport of bumper skins.
  • These means consist for example of a local decrease in thickness.
  • the bumper 10 comprises a skin 12 on which are assembled various elements such as a skin reinforcement 14 or a grid 16.
  • spacers 18 are used to keep the skin 12 of the bumper 10 of adjacent skins at a distance.
  • Each spacer 18 for this purpose comprises at least a first end 20 comprising means 22 for securing to a member integral with the bumper skin and at least one second end 24 comprising means 26 for bearing on a member integral with a adjacent bumper skin.
  • integral element an element rigidly attached to the skin such as a reinforcement or a spacer.
  • the integral element of the skin may further be the skin itself.
  • the spacer 18 is attached to the bumper skin 10.
  • the bumper skin 12 comprises means 28 for securing the spacer 18, the means 28 for securing the spacer being complementary to the 22 means of solidarity carried by the first end 20 of the spacer 18.
  • the means 28 are specially dedicated to the joining of the spacers 18.
  • the spacer 18 may be secured to the bumper 10 for example by screwing or snap-fastening. It is then necessary to slightly modify the shape of the bumper skin 12 to form the securing means 28.
  • the securing means 28 of the spacers 18 are distinct from any other fixing means usually present on a bumper skin, in particular means for fixing an optical block, means for fixing a grid, means for fixing a band, means for fixing a radar, means for fixing a skin reinforcement, means for fixing a police plate, means for fixing the skin to the skin, vehicle, means for fixing a headlight washer or means for fixing a towing hook. Indeed, the means 28 are specially dedicated to fixing the spacers 18.
  • the spacers 18 are molded at their first end 20 with the bumper skin 12.
  • the figure 3 is a diagram seen from the side of several bumper skins 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d juxtaposed next to each other, for example on a storage rack.
  • each spacer 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d includes a first end 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d integrally molded with each bumper skin.
  • each bumper skin has a free end 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d oriented toward the adjacent bumper skin forming support means.
  • each free end comprises latching means in the adjacent skin.
  • each spacer 18 can be secured to the adjacent bumper so that the distance between two adjacent bumpers is kept constant thanks to the spacers.
  • the spacers 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d each comprise a bearing zone 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d intended to cooperate by latching with the support means 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d of the adjacent spacer.
  • the points of contact between bumper skins are located on the spacers, so that it does not risk damaging the skins.
  • the spacer is shaped as a skin reinforcement 14 and is connected to the skin 12 by a hinge connection 30 so that it is adapted to adopt, during transport or storage, a first position, visible on the figure 4b , in which it has a spacer function and a second position, not shown, in which it substantially matches the inner shape of the skin 12 and has a reinforcing function.
  • the spacer 18 is carried by the bumper reinforcement 14.
  • the spacer 18 is molded with the reinforcement 14. Since the reinforcement is intended to be secured to the bumper skin, the reinforcement 14 is a solid element of the skin within the meaning of the invention.
  • the spacer 18 protrudes from the bumper skin 12 through an aperture of the skin such as an optics receiving orifice or by the side of the skin.
  • the spacers 18 are made of foam blocks. These blocks are for example glued on the skin 12 by a robot to the areas of the skin that may be in contact with another skin during storage.
  • Foam blocks are buffer zones that can dampen vibrations transmitted between bumpers when transported on racks.
  • the foam can be projected directly onto the skin 12 of the bumpers.
  • the struts 18 are used during the storage or transport of the bumpers.
  • it is necessary to remove these spacers either by removing the fixing means of the spacer to the bumper (first and fifth embodiments), or by breaking the spacers for the separate from the bumper (second and fourth embodiments), or by retracting to transform them into bumper reinforcement (third embodiment).
