Definitions
- the present invention relates to a means of assisting the assembly of a device on a structure, the device comprising at least one prominent element to engage in a hollow part of the structure.
- An example of a device to be assembled on a structure inside the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is a compartment lighting device which is provided on one of the inner walls of a container or the like serving as a pockets.
- a lighting device comprises a translucent surface, closing the front face of a housing which comprises a light source with its power supply connectors.
- the power connector disposed on the casing of the lighting compartment is in most cases a male connector which must be inserted into a corresponding female connector fixed on the structure of the interior trim of the passenger compartment.
- This electrical connection is then made to the rear of the apparent surface of the casing and the connectors are plugged into each other blind.
- This type of blind assembly can lead to an absence of the lighting function due to a bad electrical connection which causes a revision at this level of the vehicle at the end of the line making the general assembly longer and more expensive.
- the object of the invention is to propose means for assisting the assembly of a device on a structure, the device comprising at least one prominent element comprising a front part to engage in a hollow part of the structure.
- the hollow part of the structure is at least partially surrounded by a guide member to facilitate the introduction of the protruding element in said hollow part of the structure, said front part of said prominent element coming from sliding during assembly along the surface of the guide member to said hollow part of the structure.
- the guide member comprises an oblique ramp.
- the ramp has mainly at least partially the shape of a section of a truncated cone.
- the guide member has an elasticity due to its material and / or due to its shape.
- the prominent element has the shape of a rod.
- the rod may be a male electrical connector and the hollow portion may be a corresponding female electrical connector.
- the device is a lighting device with a housing to snap into a wall of the structure, the rod being disposed on the housing so that it is, in the assembled position of the device, not apparent at the back of the wall of the structure.
- the lighting device is a compartment lighting of a motor vehicle.
- the guide member forms an inlet with a ramp whose section has the shape of a U with the base of this U remote from the hollow portion and with a branch located near the hollow portion which has a free end , giving elastic flexibility to the ramp.
- the assembly assist means is made of injection molded plastic.
- Fig.1 is a side sectional view of a structure of an interior trim of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle with a provisionitf lighting compartments in different positions during its assembly;
- Fig.2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a guide member according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a structure of an interior trim of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle at a storage compartment 1, arranged for example on the center console between the two front seats of a vehicle. motor vehicle.
- a storage compartment 1 In one of the walls 2 of the storage compartment 1 is arranged an opening 3 which can receive the housing of a lighting device 4 of the storage compartment 1.
- the lighting device 4 comprises a translucent face 4a and a housing 4b for receiving a light source 5 which is supplied with electricity via a connector.
- This connector is in the example described a prominent element having the shape of a rod 6 which will fit into a corresponding female connector disposed in a hollow portion 7 arranged on the structure at the rear of the apparent face of the wall 2 of the dressing.
- the editor inserts the housing 4b by presenting the rod 6 forward in the orifice 3 of the wall 2.
- the assembler can not see the hollow part 7 of the structure, that is to say the female connector into which the male electrical connector is to be inserted. He seeks to spot blindly with the front of the rod 6 the location around the hollow portion until he thinks he has found it and can insert the rod 6 in the hollow part 7 .
- the present invention proposes to provide as a means of assisting assembly a guide member 8 to facilitate the insertion of the rod 6 in the hollow portion 7 of the structure.
- This guide member 8 has, in the example shown in FIG. 1 in cross section, the shape of a U whose base is remote from the hollow portion 7 of the structure and a branch 8a whose front end is free, which gives the guide member 8 a certain elasticity when it is pushed by the front end of the rod 6.
- the front portion of the rod 6 comes to burst on the body 8 of guiding and sliding along the outer surface of the member 8 to the hollow portion 7 in the structure.
- the rod 6 is at least partially inserted into the hollow portion, which may consist of a female connector to provide power supply of the light source 5 of the lighting device.
- the vacuum bag lighting device can be brought into its final position by snapping the clips 10 provided on a lateral edge of the housing 4b and close to the translucent face.
- This guide member 8 allows a "blind" mounting of the lighting device of the storage compartment without risk of damage to the rod 6, the hollow portion 7 or, where appropriate, the electrical connection between a male electrical connector represented by the rod 6 and a corresponding female electrical connector represented by the hollow portion 7 of the structure. As a result, the potential risk of the absence of lighting function of the end-of-line lighting device is reduced and a revision of the vehicles for this reason is not necessary.
- Fig.2 shows two perspective views of a guide member 8 according to FIG. 1. It is clearly seen the ramp 9 on which the end end of the rod 6 is guided towards the hollow portion 7. This ramp is oblique and may have the shape of a section of a truncated cone.
