Definitions

• the invention is in the field of interior design of utility vehicles.
• EP1902898 discloses a removable partitioning device which can be placed behind the back of a front seat, when the backrest is positioned substantially vertical. This device can also be placed longitudinally on the side of a center console to protect the driver in the case of long load, when the passenger seat back in horizontal position. When this device is not in use, it can be stored along a partition using a suitable support.
• document EP1188620 proposes such a driver protection system consisting of an articulated element connected to the dashboard of the vehicle.
• the protection element In the position of use, the protection element extends longitudinally with respect to the vehicle and is placed between the driver's seat and the location left empty by the passenger seat which has been retracted.
• This solution is not entirely satisfactory since it is unsuitable for retaining small objects.
• the partitioning is not ensured at the floor of the vehicle and under the dashboard, so that small objects can roll and slide on the floor of the passenger compartment towards the driver and interfere, for example by placing under the pedals of the driving position.
• such a system of anti-slip protection is penalizing in that it requires the use of a specific dashboard and eliminates the possibility of installing an airbag.
• the installation of this specific dashboard in addition to the installation of a load stop partition increases the costs related to the safety of the users.
• a solution was provided by EP1207079 in which the front passenger seat folds so as to define a secondary loading space capable of holding objects deposited in the passenger compartment.
• the cargo space thus delimited is intended to receive only objects of relatively small size and does not communicate with the main cargo space located at the rear of the passenger compartment of the vehicle so that this solution is unsuitable for loading and transporting long products.
• the object of the invention is to solve the problems encountered in the prior art by proposing a new modular partitioning device of a utility vehicle, simple and inexpensive, which can provide both protection for users in terms of shutdown. load and anti-slip protection when products and in particular long products, are transported in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
• the invention proposes a partitioning device integrated into the central console for a passenger compartment of a utility vehicle, said device comprising an armrest comprising two arms, characterized in that the driver's side arm is stationary and the passenger side arm is mobile. an armrest position resting on the center console, at a position of partitioning when placed behind the back of the passenger seat.
• the armrest arm comprises a longitudinal central element, surmounted by an upper element and a lower element.
• the armrest arm has its hollow central element.
• the armrest arm comprises the lower and upper elements deployable relative to its hollow central element.
• the lower element and the upper element are deployable by means of telescopic rods.
• the lower element and the upper element are deployable via rods.
• the lower element and the upper element unfold by unwinding a protective net between the stationary central arm element and the lower and upper arm elements.
• the protective net is attached laterally to the telescopic rods or to the rods.
• the telescopic rods or rods and the protective net, in the folded position are stored in the central arm member, the lower and upper arm members being contiguous to the central arm member.
• the passenger side arm is movable at the rear end of the fixed arm driver side via a pivot connection.
• FIG. 1 shows a schematic top view of the partitioning device in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, comprising armrests in the initial storage position according to the invention
• FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the partitioning device, comprising armrests in the storage position according to the invention
• FIG. 3 shows a schematic top view of the partitioning device, comprising an armrest in the use position according to the invention
• FIG. 4a and 4b show a schematic rear view of an armrest arm assembly of the partitioning device, in the deployed position according to the invention
• FIG. 5 shows a schematic top view of the articulation of the armrests of the partitioning device.
• Figure 1 shows a schematic top view of the partitioning device 1 in the passenger compartment 2 of the vehicle, comprising armrests 3, 4 in the initial storage position that is to say in normal use position as armrest.
• Cockpit 2 features dashboard 5 extended on its mediator by a bridge 6 for fixing the support 7 lever 8 speed and a console 9.
• the console 9 has on its upper surface the two armrests 3, 4.
• the armrest 3 driver side is fixed on the console 9 while the armrest 4 passenger side is movable in a horizontal plane.
• Figure 2 shows a schematic side view of the partitioning device 1, comprising armrests 3, 4 in the row position according to the invention.
• the view has the support 7 lever 8 speed raised at the armrests 3, 4 resting on the console 9, so that the driver can put his elbow on the armrest and his hand operate the gear lever.
• FIG. 3 shows a schematic top view of the partitioning device 1 in the passenger compartment 2 of the vehicle, comprising an armrest 4 in the use position according to the invention.
• the passenger compartment 2 comprises the board 5 extended by a bridge 6 and the support 7 for fixing the gear lever 8.
• the armrest 3 driver side is fixed on the console 9, while the armrest 4 passenger side is mobile.
• the seats 10, 11 driver and passenger each comprising a seat 12, 13 and a backrest 14, 15 provided with a headrest 14a, 15a.
• the armrest 4 hinged to the rear end of the driver armrest 3 has moved from a longitudinal position along the vehicle axis to a transverse position behind the backrest 15 of the passenger seat, in a 90 degree angular rotation.
• the backrest 15 of the passenger seat is folded over the seat 13, to allow the rotation of the armrest 4 in the horizontal plane.
• Figures 4a and 4b show a schematic rear view of the armrest assembly 4 of the partitioning device 1, in the deployed position according to the invention.
• the partitioning device 1 comprising the armrest arm 4 and is placed behind the backrest 15 of the passenger seat 11 (shown in broken lines), by rotating a quarter turn around the vertical axis 20 (visible in FIG. 3). constituting the pivot connection 30.
• the lower element 4b of the armrest arm 4 is pulled downward, along the arrow 40, to the floor 27 so as to deploy by means of rods 34, 35 or telescopic rods 37, 38, rigid threads 36 while the upper element 4c of the armrest arm 4 is pulled upwards, along the arrow 41, so as to deploy, by means of telescopic rods 31, 32 or rods 39, 40, rigid threads 33.

• a yoke 17 is fixed radially in the direction of the end 4a of the adjacent armrest 4 which has a stud 18 having a bore 19.
• the post 18 is engaged in the yoke 17 and an axis 20 allows to connect the armrests 3, 4 mobile and fixed together.
• the passenger armrest 4 can move from a position adjacent to the fixed armrest 3, to a perpendicular position (shown in broken line) through the pivot connection 30, disposed at the end 3a, 3b of the armrests 3, 4.
