Description

AGENCEMENT D'UNE CONSOLE POSSEDANT DES ELEMENTS CONVERTIBLES MECANIQUEMENT EN TABLE DANS L'HABITACLE  ARRANGEMENT OF A CONSOLE HAVING MECHANICALLY TABLE CONVERTIBLE ELEMENTS IN THE HABITACLE
D'UN VEHICULE  OF A VEHICLE
La présente invention concerne un agencement d'une console comprenant des éléments convertibles en table dans un véhicule automobile, et plus spécifiquement les éléments se déploient mécaniquement de manière automatique pour constituer le plateau de la table. The present invention relates to an arrangement of a console comprising table convertible elements in a motor vehicle, and more specifically the elements automatically deploy mechanically to form the table top.
L'invention concerne plus spécifiquement l'agencement d'une console comprenant des éléments convertibles mécaniquement en table, comportant une structure allégée et compact, tout en conservant l'accès au rangement des compartiments de la console, aussi bien en position déployée en table qu'en position repliée, les éléments composant en partie la console. Les véhicules possédant un habitacle modulable du type "monospaces" et les véhicules utilitaires pour le transport de passagers, sont de plus en plus employés pour une utilisation "loisirs", en week-end ou en vacances, mais encore pour une utilisation "travail" pour des cadres ou des artisans possédant des appareils multimédia. Ce type d'utilisation a fait apparaître le besoin de prévoir une table à l'intérieur des véhicules. Cette table doit être escamotable, pour ne pas diminuer l'espace disponible à l'intérieur de l'habitacle du véhicule, lorsque notamment la table n'est pas utilisée. Dans l'état de la technique, on connaît le document FR2845327 qui décrit l'agencement d'une table escamotable dans l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile, comportant une console qui est montée sur le plancher du véhicule et qui délimite un compartiment pour le rangement de la table en position escamotée, dans lequel la table comporte au moins un panneau, qui s ' étend globalement dans un plan longitudinal vertical, en position escamotée, et qui s'étend globalement dans un plan horizontal, en position horizontale d'utilisation, le panneau est articulé sur la console, de manière que le panneau parvienne à sa position d'utilisation, à partir de sa position escamotée, en pivotant, dans un premier temps, vers le haut et vers l'arrière, autour d'un axe transversal et, dans un second temps, vers un côté et vers le bas, autour d'un axe longitudinal. The invention relates more specifically to the arrangement of a console comprising elements convertible mechanically into a table, having a lightened and compact structure, while maintaining access to the storage compartments of the console, both in the deployed position in table that in the folded position, the elements partially forming the console. Vehicles with a modular passenger compartment of the "MPV" type and commercial vehicles for the transport of passengers, are more and more used for use "leisure", weekend or vacation, but still for use "work" for executives or artisans with multimedia devices. This type of use has revealed the need to provide a table inside the vehicles. This table must be retractable, so as not to reduce the space available inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, especially when the table is not used. In the state of the art, the document is known FR2845327 which describes the arrangement of a retractable table in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, comprising a console which is mounted on the floor of the vehicle and which delimits a compartment for storing the table in the retracted position, in which the table comprises at least one panel, which extends globally in a vertical longitudinal plane, in the retracted position, and which extends generally in a horizontal plane, horizontal use position, the panel is articulated on the console, so that the panel reaches its position of use, from its retracted position, by pivoting, initially, upwards and backwards, about a transverse axis and, in a second step, towards a side and down, about a longitudinal axis.
On comprend bien que les panneaux de la table sont rangés intégralement dans la console, ce qui implique que la console sert uniquement au rangement des panneaux de la table et qu'elle ne comporte pas de compartiment de rangement spécifique. La console constitue le pied de la table. De ce fait, la console est imposante en hauteur, ce qui augmente sa masse, afin que la table soit dans une position déployée dans une configuration ergonomique pour l'utilisateur. Le déploiement mécanique c'est-à-dire automatique des panneaux n'est pas envisagé et serait compliqué à mettre en œuvre . Cette table ne comporte pas d'éléments déployables mécaniquement de façon automatique . It is understood that the panels of the table are stored entirely in the console, which implies that the console is used only for storing the panels of the table and that it has no specific storage compartment. The console is the foot of the table. As a result, the console is imposing in height, which increases its mass, so that the table is in a deployed position in an ergonomic configuration for the user. The mechanical deployment that is to say automatic panels is not envisaged and would be complicated to implement. This table does not include mechanically deployable elements automatically.
La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une configuration de console allégée, de construction simple et économique comportant des compartiments de rangement et des éléments mobiles convertibles en table mécaniquement de façon automatique à la demande de l'utilisateur. The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a lightweight console configuration, simple and economical construction comprising storage compartments and movable elements convertible table mechanically automatically at the request of the user.
A cet effet l'invention propose un agencement d'une console montée coulissante sur le plancher d'un habitacle de véhicule, comportant des compartiments de rangements et des éléments convertibles pour créer une table, les éléments convertibles de la table étant extractibles automatiquement par un moyen mécanique, après déverrouillage d'une poignée, pour passer d'une position verticale de rangement dans un logement à une position horizontale d'utilisation en table.  To this end, the invention proposes an arrangement of a sliding console mounted on the floor of a vehicle cabin, comprising storage compartments and convertible elements to create a table, the convertible elements of the table being automatically extractable by a mechanical means, after unlocking a handle, to move from a vertical storage position in a housing to a horizontal table-use position.
Avantageusement, le moyen mécanique est un élément élastique. Ce qui est très simple et peu onéreux. Advantageously, the mechanical means is an elastic element. Which is very simple and inexpensive.
Selon une variante, le moyen mécanique est fixé à la base des éléments convertibles par l'intermédiaire d'une proéminence qui est emprisonnée dans un logement aménagé depuis la surface du talon de blocage. Alternatively, the mechanical means is attached to the base of the convertible elements via a prominence which is trapped in a housing provided from the blocking heel surface.
De manière optionnelle, le moyen mécanique est guidé dans le talon des éléments convertibles dans un passage débouchant sur la surface opposée au talon de blocage des éléments convertibles. Optionally, the mechanical means is guided in the heel of the convertible elements in a passage opening on the opposite surface to the blocking heel of the convertible elements.
Selon une variante, le moyen mécanique est raccordé à un socle d'ancrage par 1 ' intermédiaire d'une attache rigide montée avec jeu dans un passage dudit socle d'ancrage. According to one variant, the mechanical means is connected to an anchoring base by means of a rigid fastener mounted with clearance in a passage of said anchoring base.
Avantageusement, l'attache rigide possède à sa base une proéminence qui est emprisonnée dans un logement du socle d'ancrage. Advantageously, the rigid fastener has at its base a prominence which is trapped in a housing of the anchoring base.
Selon une autre variante, le moyen mécanique est assisté sur la paroi interne des logements des éléments convertibles par l'intermédiaire d'une poulie folle. According to another variant, the mechanical means is assisted on the inner wall of the housing of the convertible elements via an idler pulley.
De façon avantageuse, la poulie folle est montée sur la paroi interne, des logements des éléments convertibles, de l'ossature, à une hauteur équivalente au deux tiers de la hauteur totale de l'ossature de la table . Advantageously, the idler pulley is mounted on the inner wall, housings of the convertible elements, the frame, at a height equivalent to two thirds of the total height of the frame of the table.
Selon une variante, le moyen mécanique est guidé par un embrèvement réalisé dans la partie de paroi formant la cavité dans laquelle le talon des éléments convertibles supporte une rcstation . Selon une autre variante, la poignée articulée sur la surface visible des éléments convertibles en position de rangement permet le verrouillage des éléments convertibles par l'intermédiaire d'une excroissance comportant une butée positive pour le blocage des éléments convertibles. According to a variant, the mechanical means is guided by a recess formed in the wall portion forming the cavity in which the heel of the convertible elements supports a rcstation. According to another variant, the handle articulated on the visible surface of the convertible elements in the storage position allows the locking of the convertible elements via an outgrowth comprising a positive stop for locking the convertible elements.

La figure 1 présente une vue de dessus gauche en perspective de l'agencement 1 d'une console 2 dont des éléments 3, 4a, 4b ont été déployés pour créer une table 6 selon l'invention. La console 2 est constituée avantageusement sous la forme d'un bloc parallélépipédique 5 comprenant un compartiment 7 de rangement doté d'un couvercle 7a sur son ouverture 7b supérieure. Ce compartiment 7 de rangement possède un volume important permettant d'y déposer des bouteilles 20 de grande contenance. De plus, ce compartiment 7 de rangement pourrait être réfrigéré. Ce compartiment 7 de rangement est accessible aussi bien lorsque les éléments 3a, 4a, 4b convertibles de la table 6 sont repliés que lorsqu'ils sont déployés. La table 6 telle que représentée, est constituée de trois éléments 3, 4a, 4b convertibles soit un support en L 3, et deux panneaux identiques 4a, 4b. Les panneaux 4a, 4b sont articulés sur le bord de la plus longue branche 3a du support 3 en L. Lorsque les panneaux 4a, 4b sont déployés au bord de la plus longue branche 3a du support 3. Les éléments 3, 4a, 4b forment le plateau 6a la table 6. Les éléments 4a, 4b sont également muni sur leur bord extérieur d'une poignée 21 permettant leur manœuvre et leur verrouillage. La branche courte 3b constitue le pied mobile de la table 6. L'extrémité 3c de la branche courte 3b du support 3 est articulée à l'extrémité d'un pied fixe 10 orienté verticalement affleurant sur la surface supérieure de la console 2. En position d'utilisation de la table 6, le pied mobile 3b est dans le prolongement d'un pied fixe 10, un mécanisme approprié permet de verrouiller le pied fixe 10 et mobile 3b dans cette position. La surface externe de la branche la plus longue 3a constitue l'élément central du plateau 6a de la table 6. La partie centrale du plateau 6a comporte des alvéoles 9 constituants des portes gobelets. A l'opposé du compartiment 7 de rangement, un autre compartiment de rangement 8 aux dimensions plus modestes est prévu. Ce compartiment de rangement 8 pourrait être prévu pour y ranger les gobelets. Ce compartiment de rangement 8 est obturé lorsque le support 3 est dans sa position repliée, la branche courte 3b du support 3 obturant l'ouverture 11 du compartiment de rangement 8 tandis que la branche la plus longue 3a vient en appui sur la surface latérale 8a du compartiment de rangement 8. Lorsque, le support 3 est replié, un couvercle pourrait être prévu sur la surface externe de la branche courte 3b du support 3 afin d'accéder au compartiment de rangement 8 sans qu'il soit nécessaire de déplier les éléments convertibles de la table 6. Les figures 2 à 9 présentent les différentes séquences à effectuer afin de déployer les éléments 4a, 4b de la console 2 permettant de créer une table 6. La figure 2 montre la console 2 sous la forme d'un bloc parallélépipédique 5 susceptible de se déplacer sur les rails 12 suivant l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. Sur la figure 3, le support en L 3 est relevé par une rotation dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre de 90 degrés suivant la flèche 40, plaçant la branche 3a dans sa position d'utilisation. Les poignées 15 associées à un mécanisme approprié sont également prévues sur la branche 3b du support 3 pour le bloquer, aussi bien dans sa position d'utilisation que dans sa position rangée. Suivant les figures 4 et 5, on saisit la palette 21, afin de tirer verticalement l'élément 4b en le faisant coulisser dans une fente 22 du flasque 23. Ce flasque 23 constitue un côté de l'équerre en L 3. Ce flasque 23 est échancré, suivant un rayon de courbure, formant une concavité 23a depuis l'extrémité des deux branches de l'équerre en L 3. La paroi latérale 7 de la console 2 en regard du flasque 23 est convexe 7a et possède un rayon de courbure complémentaire par rapport au rayon de courbure du flasque 23. Le flasque 23 est dans le prolongement de la paroi latérale 7 de façon complémentaire afin de créer en position repliée de la branche 3, une surface latérale de la console 2 de forme rectangulaire 30, comme montré à la figure 2. Sur les figures 6 à 8, les éléments de panneau 4a, 4b sont repliés d'une position verticale à une position horizontale afin de créer le plateau 6a de la table 6. Le plateau 6a de la table 6 est constitué des éléments de panneaux 4a, 4b et de la branche 3a constituant l'élément central du plateau 6a. La cinématique de déploiement des plateaux ne procure aucune gêne aux usagers, contrairement aux plateaux relevable qui gênent les usagers au niveau des jambes et qui doivent se déplacer pour laisser le libre passage des plateaux. La figure 9 représente la table 6 dans une configuration conviviale où les bouteilles 20 ont été extraites du compartiment 7, de préférence réfrigérée et les verres 19 du compartiment 8 (visible figure 1) . Figure 1 shows a top left perspective view of the arrangement 1 of a console 2, elements 3, 4a, 4b have been deployed to create a table 6 according to the invention. The console 2 is advantageously constituted in the form of a parallelepiped block 5 comprising a storage compartment 7 having a lid 7a on its upper opening 7b. This storage compartment 7 has a large volume for depositing bottles 20 large capacity. In addition, this storage compartment 7 could be refrigerated. This storage compartment 7 is accessible both when the elements 3a, 4a, 4b convertible table 6 are folded as when they are deployed. The table 6 as shown, consists of three elements 3, 4a, 4b convertible or a support L 3, and two identical panels 4a, 4b. The panels 4a, 4b are articulated on the edge of the longest branch 3a of the support 3 L. When the panels 4a, 4b are deployed at the edge of the longest branch 3a of the support 3. The elements 3, 4a, 4b form the tray 6a the table 6. The elements 4a, 4b are also provided on their outer edge with a handle 21 for their operation and locking. The short limb 3b constitutes the movable foot of the table 6. The end 3c of the short limb 3b of the support 3 is articulated to the end of a fixed foot 10 oriented vertically flush with the upper surface of the console 2. use of the table 6 position, the movable foot 3b is in the extension of a fixed foot 10, a suitable mechanism to lock the fixed foot 10 and mobile 3b in this position. The outer surface of the longest leg 3a is the central element of the plate 6a of the table 6. The central portion of the plate 6a comprises cells 9 constituting the cup holders. In contrast to the storage compartment 7, another storage compartment 8 with smaller dimensions is provided. This storage compartment 8 could be provided to store the cups. This storage compartment 8 is closed when the support 3 is in its folded position, the short branch 3b of the support 3 closing the opening 11 of the storage compartment 8 while the longest branch 3a bears on the lateral surface 8a 8. When the support 3 is folded, a cover could be provided on the outer surface of the short branch 3b of the support 3 to access the storage compartment 8 without the need to unfold the elements convertible from table 6. FIGS. 2 to 9 show the various sequences to be performed in order to deploy the elements 4a, 4b of the console 2 making it possible to create a table 6. FIG. 2 shows the console 2 in the form of a parallelepipedal block 5 capable of moving on the rails 12 along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. In Figure 3, the support L 3 is raised by a rotation in the opposite direction of the clockwise by 90 degrees according to the arrow 40, placing the branch 3a in its position of use. The handles 15 associated with a suitable mechanism are also provided on the branch 3b of the support 3 to block it, both in its use position as in its stowed position. According to FIGS. 4 and 5, the pallet 21 is grasped in order to draw the element 4b vertically by sliding it in a slot 22 of the flange 23. This flange 23 forms a side of the L-shaped bracket 3. This flange 23 is indented, following a radius of curvature, forming a concavity 23a from the end of the two branches of the L-shaped bracket 3. The side wall 7 of the console 2 opposite the flange 23 is convex 7a and has a radius of curvature complementary to the radius of curvature of the flange 23. The flange 23 is in the extension of the side wall 7 in a complementary manner to create in the folded position of the branch 3, a side surface of the bracket 2 of rectangular shape 30, as shown in Figure 2. In FIGS. 6 to 8, the panel elements 4a, 4b are folded from a vertical position to a horizontal position in order to create the plate 6a of the table 6. The plate 6a of the table 6 consists of the panel elements 4a , 4b and branch 3a constituting the central element of the plate 6a. The kinematics of deployment of trays does not provide any inconvenience to users, unlike liftable trays that hinder users in the legs and must move to allow free passage trays. Figure 9 shows the table 6 in a user-friendly configuration where the bottles 20 were extracted from the compartment 7, preferably refrigerated and the glasses 19 of the compartment 8 (visible in Figure 1).
La figure 10 présente une vue de face suivant la coupe A-A de la figure 3 de la console 5 dont les éléments 4a, 4b constituant une partie de la table 6 sont rangés dans le flasque 23 qui est assemblé sur chaque côté des branches 3a, 3b (pas visible sur la figure) du support en L 3. L'élément 3a constituant l'élément central du plateau de la table 6. Le flasque 23 est constitué d'une ossature 24 et de la paroi externe 25. Une fente 26 est prévue sur la paroi 27 supérieure du flasque 23 conduisant à un logement 32. Dans le logement 32, l'élément 4a, 4b de panneaux est rangé entre la paroi externe de l'ossature 24 et la paroi interne du flasque 23, tandis que la fente 26 permet l'extraction des éléments 4a, 4b, par coulissement vers le haut. La face de l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau, en regard de la paroi 24a de l'ossature 24 est plane, guide et reçoit de façon juxtaposée la face supérieure de l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau. A l'inverse, l'autre face de l'élément 4a, 4b du panneau comporte un décroché 6c par rapport à ses bords 6f comportant un raccordement arrondi 6d, 6e avec les bords 6f . Une poutre cylindrique 28 est placée entre les parois latérales 24b de l'ossature 24. Cette poutre 28 permet de maintenir par le décroché 6c et l'arrondi supérieur 6e, les éléments 4a, 4b de panneau et de limiter le débattement des éléments 4a, 4b. En position rangée, le côté externe 6g des éléments 4a, 4b de plateau 6 affleurent sur la face supérieure de la branche 3a du support 3. En outre, la face supérieure de la branche 3a du support 3 comporte des alvéoles 9 pour recevoir des bouteilles ou des gobelets . FIG. 10 shows a front view along the section AA of FIG. 3 of the console 5 whose elements 4a, 4b constituting part of the table 6 are arranged in the flange 23 which is assembled on each side of the branches 3a, 3b (Not visible in the figure) of the support L 3. The element 3a constituting the central element of the table top 6. The flange 23 consists of a frame 24 and the outer wall 25. A slot 26 is provided on the upper wall 27 of the flange 23 leading to a housing 32. In the housing 32, the element 4a, 4b of panels is stored between the outer wall of the frame 24 and the inner wall of the flange 23, while the slot 26 allows the extraction of elements 4a, 4b, by sliding upwards. The face of element 4a, 4b panel, facing the wall 24a of the frame 24 is planar, guide and juxtaposed receives the upper face of the panel member 4a, 4b. Conversely, the other face of the element 4a, 4b of the panel has a hook 6c with respect to its edges 6f having a rounded connection 6d, 6e with the edges 6f. A cylindrical beam 28 is placed between the lateral walls 24b of the framework 24. This beam 28 makes it possible to hold the panel elements 4a, 4b by the off-hook 6c and the upper rounding 6e and to limit the deflection of the elements 4a, 4b. In the stowed position, the outer side 6g of the elements 4a, 4b of plate 6 are flush on the upper face of the arm 3a of the support 3. In addition, the upper face of the arm 3a of the support 3 comprises cells 9 for receiving bottles or goblets.
La figure 11 présente une vue de face en coupe A-A de la partie supérieure de la console 5 montrant un élément 4b de panneau de la table 6, extrait à son maximum dans sa position verticale, du flasque 23 accolé au support 3 en L. Sur la figure, un seul élément 4b est représenté mais bien entendu, elle est identique pour l'élément 4a symétrique. Dans cette position, l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau est en appui sur la poutre cylindrique 28 par l'intermédiaire du décroché 6c et l'arrondi 6d inférieur de l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau. La bordure inférieure 6h de l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau comporte depuis sa face plane, une partie courbe 30a se prolongeant par un talon 30. La partie supérieure de l'ossature 24 suivant sa face longitudinale comporte un moyen de guidage et de blocage 35 constitué d'une partie courbe 24a dont la concavité est dirigée vers l'intérieur se prolongeant par un raccord horizontal 24b vers l'extérieur de l'ossature 24, puis se prolongeant à nouveau par une partie courbe 24c jusqu'à la face supérieure de l'ossature 24 constitutive de la branche 3a du support 3. Le profil du moyen de blocage 35 correspond au profil complémentaire de la bordure inférieure 6h de l'élément 4a, 4b de panneau. On comprend qu'il convient de basculer l'élément 4b de panneau suivant la flèche 36, afin de le passer horizontalement. FIG. 11 shows a front view in section AA of the upper part of the console 5 showing a panel element 4b of the table 6, extracted at its maximum in its vertical position, from the flange 23 attached to the support 3 L. the figure, a single element 4b is shown but of course, it is identical for the symmetrical element 4a. In this position, the panel member 4a, 4b is supported on the cylindrical beam 28 via the hook 6c and the rounded bottom 6d of the panel member 4a, 4b. The lower edge 6h of the panel element 4a, 4b has from its flat face a curved portion 30a extending through a heel 30. The upper part of the frame 24 along its longitudinal face comprises a guiding and locking means 35 consisting of a curved portion 24a whose concavity is directed inwards extending by a horizontal connection 24b to the outside of the frame 24, then extending again by a curved portion 24c to the upper face of the frame 24 constituting the branch 3a of the support 3. The profile of the blocking means 35 corresponds to the complementary profile of the lower edge 6h of the panel element 4a, 4b. It will be understood that the panel element 4b should be tilted along the arrow 36 in order to pass it horizontally.
La figure 12 présente une vue de face en coupe A-A de la partie supérieure de la console 5 montrant partiellement les éléments 4a, 4b de panneau de la table 6 extrait dans leur position d'utilisation. Les éléments 4a, 4b de panneau sont mobiles en rotation suivant la flèche 36 visible figure 11 et sont guidés par le moyen de guidage et de blocage 35, défini par la partie courbe 29 et la partie courbée 24b de l'ossature 24, puis consécutivement les éléments 4a, 4b de plateau 6a sont bloqués par le talon 30 venant en appui sur le raccord horizontal 24b de l'ossature 24. De cette façon, les éléments 4a, 4b de panneau sont déployés horizontalement avec l'élément central 3a pour constituer le plateau 6a de la table 6. Les figures 13 à 19 présentent en vue de face schématiquement , les différentes séquences à réaliser afin d'obtenir le déploiement des éléments convertibles 4a, 4b de leurs positions de rangements 32 à leur positions d'utilisations de manière automatique. Afin d'alléger la description, le déploiement et le reploiement de la table 6 dans la console comportant deux côtés symétriques autour de l'axe 25 sera décrit pour un seul côté, tout en sachant que l'autre côté est rigoureusement identique. Ainsi, comme montré sur la figure 13, l'élément convertible 4b qui est un panneau constitutif de la table 6 comprenant également l'élément central 3 constituant le support constitutif de l'ossature 24. En position rangée le panneau 4b est entièrement introduit dans son logement 32. Pour le déployer mécaniquement et automatiquement, un moyen mécanique 31 qui est un fil élastique possédant des caractéristiques appropriées, est fixé sur un socle d'ancrage 24b constitutif de l'ossature 24, disposé sur l'axe de symétrie de la table 6. Le moyen mécanique 31 est raccordé au socle d'ancrage 24b à la base du socle 24b par l'intermédiaire d'une attache rigide 31a montée librement dans un passage 24c dudit socle 24b. L'attache rigide 31a possède à sa base une proéminence 31b qui est emprisonnée dans un logement 24d du socle d'ancrage 24b. Le fil élastique 31 est guidé vers le haut sur une poulie 50 montée folle sur un axe solidaire de la paroi interne 32a du logement 32. Le fil élastique 31 traverse la paroi 29 à travers une ouverture 29a pour redescendre dans l'interstice entre la paroi 32a et le panneau 4b. Le fil élastique 31 entoure le bord 33 du panneau 4b. L'extrémité du fil élastique 31 comporte une proéminence 31c qui est emprisonnée dans un logement 34 aménagé depuis la surface du talon de blocage 30, le fil élastique 31 s'étend librement dans un passage 34 prolongé depuis le logement 34 et débouchant sur la surface 35, opposé au talon de blocage 30 du panneau 4b. Le fil élastique 31 est dimensionné de manière qu'il puisse extraire le panneau 4b avec la seule énergie fournie par le fil élastique 31. La poignée 21 articulée sur le bord visible du panneau 4b en position rangée, comporte une excroissance 21a formant une butée positive contre la poutre cylindrique 28 maintenant le panneau 4b dans son logement 32 et le fil élastique 31 sous tension. Le déploiement du panneau 4b doit être effectué de manière à être positionné mécaniquement dans la position représentée en points pointillés qui représente le panneau 4'b en position horizontale d'utilisation. Comme montré figure 14, la poignée 21 est déverrouillée, en la tirant suivant la flèche 35 libérant le panneau 4b qui est animé sur la figure 15, par un mouvement ascendant suivant la flèche 36, sous l'effet de la tension du fil élastique 31 suivant la flèche 37. Suivant la figure 16, le panneau 4b suivant la flèche 36, vient en butée sur la poutre cylindrique 28 toujours sous l'effet de la tension du fil élastique 31 suivant la flèche 37, et figure 17, le panneau 4b subit une rotation suivant la flèche 38 toujours sous la tension du fil élastique 31, suivant le flèche 37. Sur la figure 18, la rotation suivant la flèche 38 se poursuit mais le fil élastique 31 se relâche suivant la flèche 39, en glissant sur la bordure de l'ouverture 29a. Enfin, sur la figure 19, le fil élastique 31 est totalement relâché suivant la flèche 39 et le panneau 4b se met en place automatiquement dans sa position d'utilisation tout en formant le plateau 6a de la table 6 par déploiement des panneaux 4a, 4b et l'élément central 3 comme montré à l'appui des figures 2 à 9. Figure 12 shows a front view in section AA of the upper part of the console 5 partially showing the panel elements 4a, 4b of the table 6 extracted in their position of use. The panel elements 4a, 4b are movable in rotation along the arrow 36 visible in FIG. 11 and are guided by the guiding and locking means 35, defined by the curved portion 29 and the curved portion 24b of the frame 24, and then consecutively. the elements 4a, 4b of plate 6a are blocked by the heel 30 bearing on the horizontal connection 24b of the frame 24. In this way, the panel elements 4a, 4b are deployed horizontally with the central element 3a to constitute the tray 6a of the table 6. Figures 13 to 19 show schematically in front view, the various sequences to be performed in order to obtain the deployment of convertible elements 4a, 4b from their storage positions 32 to their use positions automatically. To ease the description, the deployment and the folding of the table 6 in the console having two symmetrical sides around the axis 25 will be described for one side, while knowing that the other side is strictly identical. Thus, as shown in FIG. 13, the convertible element 4b which is a constituent panel of the table 6 also comprises the central element 3 constituting the constituent support of the frame 24. In the stowed position, the panel 4b is entirely introduced into its housing 32. To deploy mechanically and automatically, a mechanical means 31 which is an elastic wire having appropriate characteristics, is fixed on an anchor base 24b constituting the frame 24, disposed on the axis of symmetry of the Table 6. The mechanical means 31 is connected to the anchor base 24b at the base of the base 24b by means of a rigid attachment 31a freely mounted in a passage 24c of said base 24b. The rigid fastener 31a has at its base a protrusion 31b which is trapped in a housing 24d of the anchoring base 24b. The elastic wire 31 is guided upwards on a pulley 50 mounted idle on an axis integral with the inner wall 32a of the housing 32. The elastic wire 31 passes through the wall 29 through an opening 29a to descend into the gap between the wall 32a and the panel 4b. The elastic thread 31 surrounds the edge 33 of the panel 4b. The end of the elastic wire 31 has a protrusion 31c which is trapped in a housing 34 arranged from the surface of the locking heel 30, the elastic wire 31 extends freely in a passage 34 extended from the housing 34 and opening on the surface 35, opposite the locking heel 30 of the panel 4b. The elastic wire 31 is dimensioned so that it can extract the panel 4b with the only energy provided by the elastic wire 31. The handle 21 articulated on the visible edge of the panel 4b in the stowed position, has a protrusion 21a forming a positive stop against the cylindrical beam 28 holding the panel 4b in its housing 32 and the elastic wire 31 under tension. The deployment of the panel 4b must be carried out so as to be mechanically positioned in the position represented in dotted points which represents the panel 4'b in the horizontal position of use. As shown in FIG. 14, the handle 21 is unlocked, by pulling it along the arrow 35 releasing the panel 4b which is animated in FIG. 15, by an upward movement along the arrow 36, under the effect of the tension of the elastic thread 31 along the arrow 37. According to Figure 16, the panel 4b following the arrow 36, abuts on the cylindrical beam 28 still under the effect of the tension of the wire 31 along the arrow 37, and Figure 17, the panel 4b is rotated along the arrow 38 still under the tension of the elastic wire 31, along the arrow 37. In Figure 18, the rotation along the arrow 38 continues but the elastic thread 31 is released according to the arrow 39, by sliding on the edge of the opening 29a. Finally, in FIG. 19, the elastic thread 31 is completely released according to the arrow 39 and the panel 4b is automatically placed in its position of use while forming the plate 6a of the table 6 by unfolding the panels 4a, 4b and the central element 3 as shown in support of Figures 2 to 9.
Les figures 20 à 22 présentent en vue de face schématiquement , les différentes séquences à réaliser afin d'obtenir le reploiement de l'élément convertible 4b dans son rangement 32. L'opération consiste à faire passer le panneau 4b représenté en pointillé de sa position horizontale à sa position verticale représenté en pointillé rangé dans son logement 32. Pour réaliser le rangement du panneau 4b, l'utilisateur fait passer le panneau 4b de sa position horizontale à une position verticale en le faisant pivoter autour de la poutre cylindrique 28 suivant la flèche 39. Puis par gravité le panneau 4b descend dans son logement 32 suivant la flèche 40, tout en exerçant une tension sur le fil élastique 31 suivant la flèche 41. Comme montré figure 21, une pression manuelle est exercée sur l'extrémité du panneau 4b suivant la flèche 42 pour engager le panneau 4b dans son logement 32 tout en exerçant une tension sur le fil élastique 31 suivant la flèche 41. Simultanément, la poignée 21 s'engage sur la poutre cylindrique 28, par glissement du pan incliné de l'excroissance 21a, formant sur le côté opposé une butée positive. La figure 22 montre que la pression exercée manuellement suivant la flèche 41 permet à l'excroissance 21a de la poignée 21 de s'affranchir de la poutre cylindrique 28 de manière que l'excroissance 21a de la poignée 21 vient en butée positive contre la poutre cylindrique 28. Un moyen de rappel non représenté permet de plaquer la poignée 21 contre la face visible du panneau 4b et de le bloquer dans sa position de rangement dans son logement 32. Dans cette position de rangement le fil élastique est sous tension pour placer automatiquement le panneau 4b dans sa position d'utilisation pour former une table 6. La configuration du moyen mécanique est décrite comme étant un fil élastique mais bien entendu selon l'effort à exercer, plusieurs fils élastiques pourraient être placés en parallèle où ils pourraient s'agir d'une bande élastique ou d'un système analogue. FIGS. 20 to 22 show schematically a front view of the various sequences to be made in order to obtain the folding of the convertible element 4b in its storage 32. The operation consists of passing the panel 4b shown in dotted line from its position horizontal to its vertical position shown in dotted line in its housing 32. To achieve the storage of the panel 4b, the user passes the panel 4b from its horizontal position to a vertical position by rotating it around the cylindrical beam 28 according to the arrow 39. Then by gravity the panel 4b goes down in its housing 32 along the arrow 40, while exerting a tension on the elastic wire 31 along the arrow 41. As shown in Figure 21, a manual pressure is exerted on the end of the panel 4b following the arrow 42 to engage the panel 4b in its housing 32 while exerting tension on the elastic wire 31 along the arrow 41. Simultaneously, the handle 21 engages the cylindrical beam 28, by sliding the inclined portion of the protrusion 21a forming on the opposite side a positive stop. FIG. 22 shows that the pressure exerted manually along the arrow 41 allows the protrusion 21a of the handle 21 to be freed from the cylindrical beam 28 so that the protrusion 21a of the handle 21 comes into positive abutment against the beam cylindrical 28. A return means not shown allows to press the handle 21 against the visible face of the panel 4b and to block it in its storage position in its housing 32. In this storage position the elastic wire is energized to automatically place the panel 4b in its use position to form a table 6.
