Definitions

• the present invention generally relates to a support device for a screen mounted in a motor vehicle, and more specifically mounted on a ceiling of a motor vehicle.
• screens are especially made to offer passengers in the back entertainment during a trip that can be longer or shorter.
• These screens are generally integrated into the vehicle structure, for example in the headrests of the front seats, so that they are in front of the passengers sitting at the rear. It can also be expected that these screens are fixed in the ceiling and are provided with a pivoting system which rotates them from a horizontal retracted position in the ceiling to a position of vertical or oblique use.
• the latter type of device is similar to that used in some aircraft, for example.
• An object of the present invention is therefore to meet the disadvantages of the documents of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to provide a support means for a screen that is easy to handle, orientable, movable, and detachable.
• a first aspect of the invention relates to a device for supporting a screen for a motor vehicle, comprising a support means arranged to receive and support the screen, at least one reversible attachment means fixed by means of support and arranged to attach said support means to a ceiling element of a motor vehicle, and characterized in that the ceiling element comprises at least one rail arranged to be fixed to a ceiling of a vehicle, and in that that the at least one attachment means comprises a shoe arranged to mate with the rail.
• the screen can be moved and detached easily with respect to the vehicle.
• a particularly interesting embodiment consists in that the pad comprises a bearing surface arranged to bear on the at least one rail so as to slide along it during an attachment.
• the screen is easily movable thus increasing its degree of freedom.
• the pad comprises a fixing lug provided with a locking lever having the bearing surface, the locking lever being arranged to be switched between a locking position in which the bearing surface bears on the at least one rail, and an unlocking position in which one can uncouple the at least one attachment means of the at least one rail.
• the screen can be easily attached and detached from the vehicle.
• the tab and the lever of the at least one attachment means are arranged to take the at least one sandwich rail. In this way, the screen is securely attached to the vehicle
• the support means is rotatably attached to the at least one attachment means so as to be pivotable relative to the at least one attachment means along an axis of rotation perpendicular to the at least one a rail.
• the screen can be retracted.
• a particularly interesting embodiment consists in that the support means is a shell arranged to at least partially house the screen, and that it comprises at least two attachment means located on either side of the shell. Thus, the screen is protected and stable.
• a particularly interesting embodiment consists in that the device comprises two parallel rails having two sliding tracks. In this way, the screen is stable.
• the at least one rail extends in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In this way, a front passenger can also enjoy the screen.
• the at least one rail is provided on an upper face of a central ceiling console. Thus, it is useless to provide an additional rail.
• a second aspect of the invention is a motor vehicle comprising a support device according to the first aspect of the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows a support device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention
• FIG. 2 shows the support device detached from the rail according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
• FIG. 1 shows a screen support device 10 for a motor vehicle of the present invention mounted in a vehicle.
• This support device 10 comprises a support means 3 arranged to receive and support the screen 1, at least one reversible attachment means 2, here two, fixed to the support means 3 and arranged to attach the support means 3 to a ceiling element 6 of a motor vehicle.
• the device is characterized in that it further comprises at least one rail 5 arranged to be fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle, and in that the at least one attachment means 2 comprises a shoe arranged to mate with the rail 5.
• the pad preferably has a hook shape.
• the pad comprises a bearing surface 23 arranged to bear on the at least one rail 5 so as to be able to slide along the latter during attachment.
• the shoe comprises a fastening lug 21 provided with a locking lever 22 having the bearing surface 23, the locking lever 22 being arranged to be switched, by means of a mechanism 24 which can be a return mechanism such as a spring for example, between a locking position in which the bearing surface 23 bears on the rail 5 and an unlocking position in which the attachment means 2 of the rail can be uncoupled 5.
• Figures 1 and 2 show that in the locking position, the tab 21 and the lever 22 of the attachment means 2 are arranged to take the rail 5 sandwiched.
• the support means 3 is rotatably attached to the attachment means 2 so as to be pivotable relative to the at least one attachment means 2 along an axis of rotation perpendicular to the at least one rail 5.
• the attachment means 2 is rotatably attached to the support means 3 by means of a pivot connection 4, so as to be pivotable relative to the attachment means 2 along an axis of rotation perpendicular to a rail.
• the support means 3 may comprise locating pins in rotation which are inserted into a recess provided in the fixing lugs 2.
• positioning grooves may also be provided in this recess to allow a specific orientation of the screen 1 relative to the rail.
• the support means 3 is preferably a shell arranged to at least partially house the screen 1, and the support device 10 comprises at least two attachment means 2 located on each side.
• the two attachment means are arranged so that their shoe comes to couple with two parallel rails 5 having two sliding tracks 51 which extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
• FIG. 1 also shows an aspect of the invention according to which the rails 5 are provided on an upper face of a central ceiling console 6. It should be noted that ideally the sliding tracks are flat so as to allow easy sliding pad on the rail. However, it is quite possible that this rail is a notched profile, which, failing to provide easy sliding, can block the pads in discrete locations, at regular intervals or not, to provide a certain robustness to the device .
• the invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising a support device as described above mounted in the vehicle.
