Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pedal cap for covering a pedal of a motor vehicle, and a pedal equipped with this cap.
  • the pedal caps are usually stamped or cut in the mass and are usually made of aluminum.
  • these caps are provided with holes allowing pads of a rubber sheet disposed under the cap to pass through the cap.
  • the cap and web assembly is secured to the pedal, for example, by screwing or other means of attachment.
  • This type of cap has the disadvantage of an inconvenient mounting of having to manipulate two parts, namely the cap itself and the tablecloth.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the object of the invention is achieved with a pedal cap for covering a pedal of a motor vehicle.
  • the cap is a piece of injection molded material.
  • This technique of making molding of the cap by injecting material offers the advantage of a low weight cap combined with a reduced manufacturing cost.
  • the pedal cap is made of an injected material which is a plastic material.
  • the injected material comprises particles.
  • the material comprises metal particles to provide the cap a metallic appearance.
  • the material comprises non-metallic particles, for example, pigments.
  • the pedal cap according to the invention has been subjected to radii for removing any burrs resulting from the molding.
  • the pedal cap according to the invention may be provided with a rubber mat whose pads pass through holes previously made in the cap.
  • the cap and the rubber mat form a single piece, which simplifies the mounting of the cap on the pedal.
  • the pedal cap is provided with a rubber mat directly molded on the cap.
  • the pedal cap according to the invention comprises at least one through hole for fixing the cap on a pedal of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention also relates to a pedal of a motor vehicle, comprising a cap as described above.
  • Figure 1 is shown a side view of a pedal 1 for a motor vehicle.
  • This pedal 1 comprises a pedal body 2 delimited by two opposite ends 3, 5 of the pedal 1.
  • the end 3 is a pivot end of the pedal 1 and intended to be rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation XX 'disposed transversely to the pedal body 2.
  • This pivot end 3 is intended to communicate with a member of the motor vehicle through a tongue-shaped connecting piece 4, integral with the body 2.
  • the end 5 is a free end provided with a support or plate 6 adapted to receive a cap 7 to cover the pedal 1.
  • This cap 7 extends over a bearing area of the foot of a driver of the vehicle, and is secured to the plate 6 of the pedal 1 by fastening means 8, such as bolts.
  • studs 16 project protruding beyond the cap 7 of a relatively small thickness e relative to the thickness of the cap 7.
  • Figure 2 which is a front view along the arrow II of Figure 1, is shown the cap 7 according to the invention.
  • This cap 7 is a part made of an injection molded material. This material is preferably plastic.
  • the cap 7 has a substantially rectangular cap surface 11 and having the same shape as the plate 6 of the pedal 1, and side edges 12, 13, 14 and 15 which are rounded so as to cover this plate.
  • the pads 16 of the cap 7 are arranged in rows 17 and in columns 18 in order to form a matrix on almost the entire surface 11 of the cap 7.
  • the rows 17 and the columns 18 are three in number.
  • the pads 16 are spaced from each other by a substantially constant distance d.
  • the pads are spaced from each other by a distance of which is less than the distance d.
  • This particular arrangement of the pads 16 covers the surface 11 so as to have a direct bearing surface of the foot of the homogeneous conductor and complementary to the shape of the foot.
  • the bolts 8 are arranged diametrically opposite one another so ensuring the maintenance of the cap 7 on the plate 6 of the pedal 1.
  • the bolts 8 pass through the cap 7 and the plate 6 of the pedal 1 via holes 21 provided therein for this purpose.
  • a stud 16 separates the two bolts 8 and passes through the cap 7 by a hole 21 provided for this purpose.
  • This stud 16 is an integral part of a ply 22 which is made of a plastic material, generally in rubber or polyurethane, and is arranged directly under the cap 7.
  • the cap 7 has side edges 12 and 14 having a rounded shape.
  • the rubber ply 22 is completely inserted between the cap 7 and the plate 6 of the pedal 1.
  • This rubber ply 22 is directly overmolded on the cap 7, during the production of the cap 7 by plastic injection, in order to form a single piece with this cap.
  • the over-molding of the ply 22 on the cap 7 offers the possibility of mounting the resulting piece easier on the pedal 1.
  • the holes 21 made in the cap 7 allow the three studs 16 of the row 17b, shown on the line IV-IV of FIG. 2, to pass through this cap 7, during overmoulding, while slightly exceeding it by the thickness e. .
  • the cap 7 made by plastic injection and provided with the overmolded sheet is fixed by the bolts 8 on the plate 6 of the pedal 1 at its free end 5.
  • this fastening means is not limited to bolts 8 but may be rivets or any other means for securely fastening the cap 7 to the plate 6.
  • the cap 7 according to the invention can have a very aesthetic appearance.
  • the plastic material used for injection may comprise metal particles to provide the cap 7 a tinted metal appearance in the mass.
  • cap 7 in a first material and a first color and the sheet 22 and the pads 16 in another material and another color, which allows to have a wide range of colors to customize the pedals obtained according to the invention.
  • cap 7 being obtained by injection, allows to obtain rounded edges and thus to avoid aggressive burrs for shoes.
