Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a fastener arranged to be mounted in a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fastener arranged to be mounted in an opening of a wall of a vehicle seat frame and forming part of a housing masking a child seat attachment hook.
- this device has the particular disadvantage of having an extremely small contact area with the seat frame, which can result in significant forces applied to the seat frame and therefore a deterioration of this frame, usually consisting of a thin sheet.
- this type of device has a limited pull-out resistance and is therefore not suitable for passenger compartment elements subjected to constraints of use throughout the life of the vehicle.
- An object of the present invention is to meet the disadvantages of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular to provide a fastener adapted to be mounted on a thin wall and having a resistance to the significant tearing.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a fastener arranged to be mounted in an opening of a wall of a vehicle seat frame, said fastener comprising: - a body arranged to receive a locking element and - Holding means for holding the body on the wall, the holding means comprising at least one articulated portion, characterized in that said at least one articulated portion is arranged such that, when the fastener is mounted in the opening of the wall and the locking member is received in said body, said at least one hinged portion is locked by said locking member in a bearing position on said wall.
- Such a fastener does not include clipping means and can be easily mounted on a thin wall without the risk of deforming it.
- the contact area between the fastener and the thin wall is high, which allows to obtain a large tearing force while having low contact pressures. Any concentration of stress is thus avoided.
- said articulated portion comprises a locking face arranged such that, when the fastener is mounted in the opening of the wall and the locking element is received in said body, the locking element is in support against the locking face.
- a position is stable and allows optimal locking of the articulated portion on the wall of the seat frame.
- said at least one articulated portion and said body are of polymeric materials and said at least one articulated portion is articulated by a segment of thin polymeric material, such as a film.
- a segment of thin polymeric material such as a film.
- said body is arranged to bear on a first face of the wall and said hinged portion is arranged to bear on a second face of the wall opposite to said first face.
- said wall is sandwiched between the body and the articulated portion, which ensures a solid attachment of the fastener to said wall.
- said body is part of a housing arranged to frame a cavity in said wall. Said body then constitutes a cabin element capable of providing a feeling of comfort and safety to the occupants.
- said housing further comprises an articulated hood adapted to close the access to said cavity.
- the cavity may be a storage space or still house a security element.
- the attachment piece thus makes it possible to mask the cavity in view of the occupants of the vehicle, thereby accentuating the feeling of comfort and safety.
- a second aspect of the invention is a fastening module comprising a fastener according to the first aspect of the invention, characterized in that it comprises a locking element selected from a hook, a snap or a magnet.
- the locking element serves both to lock the articulated portion on the wall, but can also be used to attach or attach another element to the body of the fastener and thus to the wall of the seat frame.
- the locking element is a magnet and said fixing module is provided with an articulated cover comprising a metal surface arranged so as to be placed opposite said locking element when said cover is in a position of closing.
- the locking element is then also used to temporarily lock the hood to the body so as to avoid any vibration or inadvertent opening.
- a third aspect of the invention is a vehicle seat comprising a wall provided with an opening and a fastening module according to the second aspect of the invention, characterized in that said wall comprises a cavity provided with a hook arranged to attach a baby seat.
- a final aspect of the invention is a vehicle comprising at least one attachment piece, a fastening module or a seat according to one of the preceding aspects of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a fastener according to the present invention locked to a wall of a vehicle seat frame
- FIGS. 2A to 2C show the different steps of locking a fastener according to FIG. 1 to a wall of a vehicle seat frame.
- the present invention generally relates to a fastener adapted to be mounted in an opening of a seat frame.
- This fastener can be used to attach seat elements or any other element to such a frame.
- the fastener may be integrated with a passenger compartment element such as a safety hook housing, as described below.
- Figure 1 shows a wall 10 of a seat frame comprising a first face 10a facing the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a second face 10b facing towards the inside of the seat.
- the wall 10 further forms a cavity 1 1 in which is provided a safety hook 20.
- This safety hook 20 serves for example as a third anchor point for attaching a baby seat to a vehicle seat, for example in addition to fasteners of ISOFIX or LATCH type.
- This hook can also serve as an anchor point for the attachment of luggage or a bulky load in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.
- the cavity 1 1 and the hook 20 are masked in view of the occupants of the vehicle by a housing 30 comprising a body 31 and a cover 32 hinged by a hinge 33.
- a portion of the body 31, encircled in Figure 1 serves as a fastener and is accommodated in an opening 12 of the wall 10 of such so as to maintain the casing 30 fixed to the first face 10a of the wall 10.
- This fastener comprises holding means and accommodates a locking member 40 as detailed below with reference to Figures 2A to 2C.
- the hook 20 is passed through the cavity bottom wall of the body 31 which is perforated for this purpose. It is understood that the housing 30 is also fixed by other points on the wall 10 (not shown in the figures).
- the wall 10 is made of a thin steel sheet, for example 0.4 mm, and the hook 20 is for example steel wire.
- the housing 30 is made of rigid polymer, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS).
- Figures 2A to 2C detail the steps allowing the holding means to maintain the housing 30 on the wall 10.
- the cover 32 has been omitted from Figures 2A to 2C.
- the body 31 comprises a through opening 37 provided with a shoulder 37a and a base 35 provided with a groove 35a.
- the housing 30 is provided with an articulated portion 34 which is articulated to the body 31 by a segment 36 of thin material.
- the body 31 is disposed on the first face 10a of the wall 10 so that an edge of the wall 10 is accommodated in the groove 35a which applies a slight pinching force to the wall 10.
- the housing 30 is thus held on the wall 10 without being locked yet and the articulated portion 34 is then partially accommodated in the opening 12 of the wall 10.
- the base 35 can easily accommodate an edge of the wall 10 without risk of deformation of the thin wall 10, since the groove 35a applies a limited pinch force without applying deforming force on the edge of the wall.
- the only element vis-à-vis is the articulated portion 34 which does not yet contact the opposite face of the wall and only a minimal force is applied to the wall 10 at the time of installation of the housing 30.
- the locking member 40 is inserted into the opening 37 from the first face 10a, as shown by the vertical arrow of Figure 2B.
- This locking element 40 which comprises a flange 40a, then comes into contact with a locking face 34a of the articulated portion 34 which is then driven in a rotational movement around the segment 36 which acts as a hinge, as shown by a semi-circular arrow in Figure 2B.
- the articulated portion is thus progressively closer to the wall 10 by rotation of the second face 10b.
- locking element 40 is completely inserted into the opening 37 and the flange 40a then comes into contact with the shoulder 37a.
- the locking element 40 is then completely in contact or in abutment with the locking face 34a of the articulated portion 34 which is thus locked in a position bearing against the second face 10b of the wall 10.
- the wall 10 is then sandwiched between the body 31 on the first face 10a and the articulated portion 34 on the second face 10b.
- the locking element 40 is also in abutment against the base 35 and the wall 10 can not escape from the groove 35a.
- the casing 30 is locked to the wall 10 and the cavity 11 is framed by the body 31 and closed by the cap 32 (see FIG. 1).
- the contact surface between the wall 10 and the holding means comprising the articulated portion 34 and the groove 35a is high and the fixing of the housing 30 by the holding means has a high resistance to tearing.
- the locking member 40 is formed of a magnet so as to cooperate with a metal portion 32a of the cover 32.
- the locking member 40 serves both to lock the holding means comprising the articulated portion 34 and the groove 35a on the second face 10b of the wall 10, but also to achieve a reversible locking of the cover 32 in a closed position of the cavity 1 1 and the housing 30. In this way, the cover 32 is not subjected to vibrations or untimely openings when the vehicle is moving.
- the locking element is provided with interlocking or clipping means (not shown) so as to remain locked in the opening 37 and not be driven by the cover 32 when moving to a position of opening.
- the body 31 which is not limited to a housing element, but can adopt any necessary shape.
- the body 31 may include fastening elements such as to attach a seat member to the wall 10.
- the locking member 40 is not limited to a magnet, but may be a simple piece of rigid material and / or comprise an upper surface, accessible on the side of the first face of the wall, provided with a hook or a snap to temporarily lock the cap 32 on the body 31 and alternatively to serve as an additional hook point in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- the opening 37 and the locking element 40 can adopt any desired corresponding geometry.
