Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de retenue d'un ouvrant d'un véhicule.The present invention relates to a device for retaining an opening of a vehicle.

Dans le domaine du transport de marchandise, on peut être amené à charger un véhicule avec différents types de produits, les produits en question étant stockés dans différents lieux.In the field of goods transport, it may be necessary to load a vehicle with different types of products, the products in question being stored in different places.

Dans un centre logistique, le véhicule peut ainsi être amené à se déplacer d'un lieu de stockage à un autre.In a logistics center, the vehicle can be moved from one storage location to another.

Les déplacements entre deux lieux de stockage se font généralement en conservant les ouvrants du véhicule en position ouverte. La fermeture et l'ouverture de l'ouvrant est une opération contraignante qui fait que le véhicule circule entre plusieurs baies de chargement avec son ou ses ouvrants en position ouverte.Movements between two storage locations are generally made keeping the opening of the vehicle in the open position. Closing and opening the sash is a binding operation that makes the vehicle flows between several bays with his or her opening open.

De façon traditionnelle, dans le cas d'un véhicule dont l'ouvrant est pivotant - typiquement sur la face arrière du véhicule -, l'ouvrant est maintenu en position ouverte par une tringle. Ce système actuel s'avère présenter de nombreux inconvénients. Sa mise en place demande notamment des efforts importants à l'utilisateur, il présente une tendance à se bloquer et risque par ailleurs de se déverrouiller de lui-même, par exemple sous l'effet des vibrations du véhicule lors de son déplacement. De plus, il peut se montrer bruyant et n'est pas adapté aux véhicules à voie étroite car la dimension de la tringle peut être incompatible avec la dimension transversale du véhicule.In the traditional way, in the case of a vehicle whose opening is pivoted - typically on the rear face of the vehicle -, the opening is held in the open position by a rod. This current system proves to have many disadvantages. Its implementation requires in particular significant efforts to the user, it has a tendency to lock and may also unlock itself, for example under the effect of vibration of the vehicle when moving. In addition, it can be noisy and is not suitable for narrow gauge vehicles because the size of the rod may be incompatible with the transverse dimension of the vehicle.

Le problème se pose également pour des ouvrants battants - typiquement disposés sur une face latérale d'un véhicule - pour lesquels il n'existe pas de moyens de blocage satisfaisants de l'ouvrant dans sa position ouverte.The problem also arises for wing wings - typically arranged on a side face of a vehicle - for which there is no satisfactory blocking means of the opening in its open position.

La présente invention vise alors à pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un dispositif de retenue d'un ouvrant d'un véhicule, le dispositif de retenue comprenant un organe de fixation adapté pour fixer le dispositif à une caisse du véhicule, un organe de retenue monté mobile par rapport au organe de fixation entre une position de retenue dans laquelle l'organe de retenue est apte à retenir l'ouvrant dans une position d'ouverture et une position de libération dans laquelle l'organe de retenue est agencé pour libérer l'ouvrant, et un organe de rappel agencé pour solliciter l'organe de retenue en position de retenue.For this purpose, the invention proposes a device for retaining an opening of a vehicle, the retaining device comprising a fastener adapted to fix the device to a vehicle body, a retaining member mounted movable relative to the fastener between a retaining position in which the retaining member is adapted to retain the opening in an open position and a release position in which the retaining member is arranged to release the opening, and a return member arranged to urge the retaining member in the retaining position.

Ce dispositif de retenue permet ainsi une retenue fiable, même lorsque le véhicule se déplace à petite vitesse. Il est peu encombrant, même en position déployée de retenue et peut être manipulé sans effort par un utilisateur.This retainer thus allows reliable retention, even when the vehicle is moving at low speed. It is compact, even in the extended restraint position and can be effortlessly handled by a user.

Avantageusement, l'organe de retenue comprend une portion de retenue conformée pour coopérer par complémentarité de forme avec une portion de l'ouvrant, tel qu'un pêne. Cette complémentarité permet d'obtenir la retenue de l'ouvrant par simple mise en contact. Ceci évite de prévoir des pièces mobiles, pouvant se bloquer et altérer à terme la résistance mécanique de la portion de retenue.Advantageously, the retaining member comprises a retaining portion shaped to cooperate in complementary form with a portion of the opening, such as a bolt. This complementarity allows to obtain the restraint of the opening by simple contact. This avoids the provision of moving parts, which can block and eventually alter the mechanical strength of the retaining portion.

Selon une disposition, la portion de retenue comprend deux doigts aptes à reposer contre deux éléments formés par le pêne en position de retenue de l'organe de retenue. Cette conformation permet de maintenir le pêne sans risque de blocage. L'ouvrant peut alors être maintenu de façon fiable dans une position d'ouverture, par exemple plaqué contre le flanc du véhicule.According to one arrangement, the retaining portion comprises two fingers able to rest against two elements formed by the bolt in the retaining position of the retaining member. This conformation makes it possible to maintain the bolt without risk of blockage. The opening can then be reliably maintained in an open position, for example pressed against the side of the vehicle.

Selon un arrangement particulier, l'organe de retenue comprend une portion de liaison montée pivotante sur l'organe de fixation. Cette portion de liaison permet à l'organe de retenue de basculer entre sa position de retenue et sa position de libération.According to a particular arrangement, the retaining member comprises a connecting portion pivotally mounted on the fixing member. This connecting portion allows the retaining member to switch between its retaining position and its release position.

Selon une disposition particulière, la portion de liaison comprend deux bras montés pivotant selon un axe de pivotement sur une première chape formée par l'organe de fixation. Cette conception confère une grande robustesse au dispositif de retenue, ce qui assure sa longévité.According to a particular provision, the connecting portion comprises two arms mounted pivoting about a pivot axis on a first yoke formed by the fastener. This design gives great strength to the retainer, which ensures its longevity.

De préférence, l'organe de retenue comprend une portion d'actionnement conformée de sorte que lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur la portion d'actionnement, l'organe de retenue est déplacé de sa position de retenue à sa position de libération. Cette configuration permet au dispositif de retenue d'être actionné facilement, en exerçant une simple force allant à l'encontre de la force exercée par l'organe de rappel. De plus, cette configuration évite que de simples vibrations ne déclenchent le déplacement de l'organe de retenue, comme cela est le cas dans un système de retenue par tringle.Preferably, the retaining member comprises an actuating portion shaped so that when pressure is applied to the actuating portion, the retaining member is moved from its retaining position to its release position. This configuration allows the restraint to be operated easily, exerting a simple force against the force exerted by the return member. In addition, this configuration prevents simple vibrations from triggering the displacement of the retaining member, as is the case in a bead retaining system.

Typiquement, l'organe de rappel comprend un vérin, tel qu'un vérin à gaz ou à ressort, de sorte que le dispositif de retenue reste robuste dans le temps.Typically, the return member comprises a jack, such as a gas cylinder or spring, so that the retainer remains robust over time.

Selon une disposition, l'organe de rappel comprend une première portion d'extrémité montée pivotante sur une seconde chape formée par l'organe de fixation, selon un axe parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de la portion de liaison.According to one arrangement, the return member comprises a first end portion pivotally mounted on a second clevis formed by the fixing member, along an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the connecting portion.

L'organe de rappel comprend par ailleurs une seconde portion d'extrémité montée pivotante sur la portion d'actionnement, selon un axe parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de la portion de liaison.The return member further comprises a second end portion pivotally mounted on the actuating portion, along an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the connecting portion.

De préférence, la portion d'actionnement est sensiblement plane et s'étend parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement de la portion de liaison. Ceci permet d'exercer facilement une force dans une direction allant à l'encontre de la force de sollicitation de l'organe de rappel. De plus, la portion d'actionnement est accessible par le pied de l'utilisateur de sorte que ses mains restent libres. De plus, cette configuration épargne l'exercice d'une force sur les lombaires.Preferably, the actuating portion is substantially flat and extends parallel to the pivot axis of the connecting portion. This makes it easy to exert a force in a direction against the biasing force of the biasing member. In addition, the actuating portion is accessible by the user's foot so that his hands remain free. In addition, this configuration saves the exercise of a force on the lumbar.

Selon une possibilité, l'organe de retenue est constitué d'une matière plastique moulée ou d'un aluminium injecté. Ceci facilite la fabrication de l'organe de retenue selon les détails de volume souhaités, notamment en ce qui concerne la portion de retenue et la portion d'actionnement.According to one possibility, the retaining member is made of a molded plastic or an injected aluminum. This facilitates the manufacture of the retaining member according to the desired volume details, particularly with regard to the retaining portion and the actuating portion.

D'autres aspects, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation de celle-ci, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en référence aux dessins annexés. Les figures ne respectent pas nécessairement l'échelle de tous les éléments représentés de sorte à améliorer leur lisibilité. Dans la suite de la description, par souci de simplification, des éléments identiques, similaires ou équivalents des différentes formes de réalisation portent les mêmes références numériques.Other aspects, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear better on reading the following description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the accompanying drawings. The figures do not necessarily respect the scale of all the elements represented so as to improve their readability. In the remainder of the description, for the sake of simplification, identical, similar or equivalent elements of the various embodiments bear the same numerical references.

La figure 1 et la figure 2 montrent en vue de trois quart avant et en vue de dessus une forme de réalisation du dispositif de retenue en position de retenue d'un ouvrant.The figure 1 and the figure 2 show in three-quarter front view and in plan view an embodiment of the retainer in the retaining position of an opening.

La figure 3 et la figure 4 illustrent en vue de coté une deuxième forme de réalisation du dispositif de retenue en position de retenue et en position de libération d'un ouvrant.The figure 3 and the figure 4 illustrate a side view of a second embodiment of the retainer in the retaining position and in the release position of an opening.

Comme représenté à la figure 1, le dispositif de retenue 1 comprend un organe de fixation 2, destiné à être fixé à une caisse d'un véhicule sur lequel est articulier un levier 3. A son extrémité libre, le levier 3 est doté d'un organe de retenue 4 en position de retenue d'un ouvrant du véhicule. De plus le dispositif de retenue 1 comprend un organe de rappel 5 agencé pour solliciter l'organe de retenue dans cette position de retenue.As represented in figure 1 , the retaining device 1 comprises a fixing member 2, intended to be fixed to a body of a vehicle on which is articulated a lever 3. At its free end, the lever 3 is provided with a retaining member 4 in retaining position of an opening of the vehicle. In addition, the retaining device 1 comprises a return member 5 arranged to urge the retaining member in this retaining position.

Il est précisé que le vehicule sur lequel le dispositif de retenue 1 est fixé n'est représenté que partiellement. Par véhicule, on entend un véhicule de transport comprenant une caisse susceptible de transporter des marchandises. Le terme de véhicule au sens du présent document englobe donc également une semi remorque.It is specified that the vehicle on which the retaining device 1 is fixed is only partially represented. "Vehicle" means a transport vehicle comprising a body capable of transporting goods. The term "vehicle" as used herein also includes a semi-trailer.

On peut voir sur les figures 1 et 2, une représentation d'un pêne 100 de verrouillage d'un ouvrant disposé à l'extrémité d'un tringle 101.We can see on Figures 1 and 2 , a representation of a latch bolt 100 of an opening disposed at the end of a rod 101.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent partiellement une caisse 103 d'un véhicule dont l'ouvrant 104 est en position ouverte.The Figures 3 and 4 partially show a box 103 of a vehicle whose opening 104 is in the open position.

Le levier 3 peut être une pièce moulée en matière plastique chargée. Le levier 3 présente deux jambes 6a et 6b qui viennent se fixer sur l'organe de fixation 2. Le deux jambes 6a et 6b sont liées au niveau de l'organe de retenue 4. Comme cela apparait sur les figures, le levier 3 peut incoporer un poignée 9.The lever 3 may be a molded piece of plastic material loaded. The lever 3 has two legs 6a and 6b which are fixed on the fixing member 2. The two legs 6a and 6b are connected at the level of the retaining member 4. As can be seen in the figures, the lever 3 can to incoporate a handle 9.

L'organe de retenue 4 comprend une portion de retenue, conformée pour coopérer par complémentarité de forme avec une partie d'un ouvrant, tel qu'un pêne 100, afin de maintenir l'ouvrant en position d'ouverture. La portion de retenue comprend notamment deux doigts 8 a et 8b qui viennent encadrer sur le pêne 100, de sorte que l'ouvrant est verrouillé de manière positive en position ouverte. Selon une variante non illustrée, la portion de retenue peut prendre toutes autres conformations adaptées pour retenir l'ouvrant en position d'ouverture.The retaining member 4 comprises a retaining portion, shaped to cooperate in complementary form with a portion of an opening, such as a bolt 100, to maintain the opening in the open position. The retaining portion comprises in particular two fingers 8a and 8b which are framed on the bolt 100, so that the opening is positively locked in the open position. According to a variant not shown, the retaining portion may take any other suitable conformations to retain the opening in the open position.

Le levier 3 est monté en pivot sur l'organe de liaison 2. Chacune de jambes 6a et 6b est pour cela dotée d'un palier dans lequel est inséré un axe de liaison 12 avec l'organe de liaison 2.The lever 3 is pivotally mounted on the connecting member 2. Each of legs 6a and 6b is therefore provided with a bearing in which is inserted a connecting pin 12 with the connecting member 2.

Comme illustré sur les figures, l'organe de rappel est constitué d'un vérin 5. Le vérin 5 est fixée à l'une de ses extrémité au levier 3 et à sa deuxième extrémité à une chape 13. Le vérin 5 peut être un vérin à gaz, avec ressort et mécanisme à genouillère. Ainsi, il suffit d'exercer une force suffisante au passage du point de basculement du vérin 5 pour autoriser le basculement de l'organe de retenue à la position de libération. Le vérin 5 a comme fonction d'assurer le maintien du levier 3 en position de retenue de l'ouvrant (figure 3) et d'assurer le maintien du levier 3 en position escamotée en dessous de la caisse 103 (figure 4).As illustrated in the figures, the return member consists of a jack 5. The jack 5 is fixed at one end to the lever 3 and at its second end to a yoke 13. The jack 5 can be a gas cylinder, with spring and toggle mechanism. Thus, it is sufficient to exert sufficient force to the passage of the tilting point of the jack 5 to allow the tilting of the retaining member to the release position. The jack 5 has the function of maintaining the lever 3 in the sash retaining position ( figure 3 ) and to maintain the lever 3 in the retracted position below the body 103 ( figure 4 ).

La figure 4 illustre le dispositif de retenue 1 en position de libération dans laquelle l'organe de retenue est agencé pour libérer l'ouvrant. Comme représenté, l'encombrement transversal sous la caisse est minime par comparaison au système actuel avec tringle ce qui permet une utilisation sur des véhicules à voie étroite.The figure 4 illustrates the retaining device 1 in the release position in which the retaining member is arranged to release the opening. As shown, the transverse space under the body is minimal compared to the current system with rod which allows use on narrow gauge vehicles.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent une variante de réalisation de l'invention dans laquelle l'organe de retenue 4 comprend une platine de verrouillage 15 qui vient en appui contre l'ouvrant pour en assurer le blocage.The Figures 3 and 4 show an alternative embodiment of the invention in which the retaining member 4 comprises a locking plate 15 which bears against the opening to ensure blocking.

Cette platine de verrouillage 15 est formée par une tole pliée qui permet de bloquer l'ouvrant.This locking plate 15 is formed by a folded sheet which blocks the opening.

Pour passer de la position de libération à la position de retenue, l'utilisateur vient en aveugle excercer une traction sur la poignée 9 située sous la caisse du véhicule jusqu'à dépasser le point de basculement du vérin.To move from the release position to the retaining position, the user blindly exerts traction on the handle 9 located under the vehicle body until beyond the tilting point of the cylinder.

Les doigts 4 de la portion de retenue de l'organe de retenue viennent alors au contact du pêne 100 (figures 1 ou 2). Celui-ci est alors immobilisé sur son axe de rotation. Cette configuration maintient l'ouvrant en position d'ouverture contre les flancs et évite son balancement lorsque le véhicule se déplace.The fingers 4 of the retaining portion of the retaining member then come into contact with the bolt 100 ( Figures 1 or 2 ). It is then immobilized on its axis of rotation. This configuration keeps the opening in the open position against the sidewalls and prevents its swinging when the vehicle moves.

Dans la forme de réalisation montrée aux figures 3 et 4, la platine de verrouillage vient en appui de l'ouvrant 104.In the embodiment shown to Figures 3 and 4 , the locking plate bears against the opening 104.

Le passage de la position de retenue à la position de libération s'effectue à l'inverse en exerçant une force sensiblement verticale jusqu'à dépasser le point de basculement du vérin. Le pêne 100 est alors libéré du contact avec la portion de retenue de sorte que l'ouvrant peut être refermé.The transition from the retaining position to the releasing position is performed by exerting a substantially vertical force to exceed the pivot point of the cylinder. The bolt 100 is then released from contact with the retaining portion so that the opening can be closed.

Ainsi, la présente invention apporte une amélioration déterminante à l'état de la technique antérieure en proposant un dispositif de retenue 1 de ouvrant fiable, facile à utiliser et qui est adapté pour être fixé aux caisses de véhicules tout en étant d'un encombrement contenu.Thus, the present invention provides a decisive improvement to the state of the prior art by providing a reliable opening device 1 of opening, easy to use and which is adapted to be attached to the vehicle bodies while being of a contained footprint .

Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus à titre d'exemples mais qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques et les variantes des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above as examples but that it includes all the technical equivalents and variants of the means described as well as their combinations.
