Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of transport vehicle fittings and more particularly to the field of vehicle interior space layout intended to receive a user in a wheelchair.
• a space for receiving a wheelchair user in a transport vehicle is generally achieved by a vertical backrest against which the wheelchair is supported during transport.
• the construction of such an arrangement is conventionally done by fixing the vertical file to one or more amounts that operate between the floor and the ceiling of the vehicle.
• such a construction has the disadvantage of imposing fixing points on the ground which complicates the accessibility of the floor surface, for example, in the context of a cleaning operation.
• the backrest is usually installed near a vertical wall to strengthen the strength of the backrest weight of the user and the chair in case of braking.
• a reinforcement structure for example made by a hoop adapted to damp a force along a vehicle axis of movement.
• the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a simplified arrangement that facilitates the positioning of a wheelchair user location in a vehicle interior.
• the subject of the invention is an arrangement for a wheelchair user location in a transport vehicle comprising a backrest arranged in a substantially vertical plane, characterized in that the backrest only is mounted, directly or indirectly, on a side wall of the passenger compartment of the vehicle and cantilevered with respect to the floor of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of an arrangement of the invention according to a fixed first viewing angle, the backrest being mounted on a wall of the passenger compartment,
• FIG. 2 is the schematic representation of the exemplary embodiment of the arrangement of the invention according to a second angle of view, the backrest being detached from the wall of the passenger compartment,
• FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic representation of the exemplary embodiment of the arrangement of the invention according to the second angle of view, showing the skeleton of the supporting structure of the file;
• FIG. 4 is the diagrammatic representation in section of FIG. an example of construction of a support structure for an arrangement of the invention,
• FIG. 5 is the schematic representation in section of the construction example of a carrier structure completed for a development of the invention.
• the invention relates to an arrangement for a wheelchair user location in a transport vehicle comprising a backrest 1 arranged in a substantially vertical plane, characterized in that the backrest 1 is mounted only, directly or indirectly, on a wall side 2 of the vehicle cabin and cantilevered to the floor 3 of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
• the mounting of the backrest 1 on a single side wall eliminates any attachment of the backrest 1 with the floor 3 of the passenger compartment. This attachment thus allows improved accessibility at the level of the floor surface 3, especially at the level of space positioned between the lower edge of the backrest 1 and the floor 3.
• fixing the backrest only at a side wall 2 of the vehicle eliminates the presence of one or more reinforcement elements mounted or positioned on the back of the folder. This single attachment to a side wall of the cabin and allows an optimization of the volume of the cabin located at the back of the folder.
• the fixing of the backrest 1 to the side wall 2 of the passenger compartment is carried out by at least one carrying structure 4 mounted or fixed, at one end, to the wall of the passenger compartment and, at a second end, at the side edge or the back of the backrest 1.
• This carrier structure 4 thus makes a bracket that carries the file 1.
• the support structure 4 comprises a plurality of arms 4a, 4b forming a bracket which connects the backrest 1 and the side wall of the passenger compartment.
• the support structure 4 is integrated in at least a portion of a passenger seat so that the backrest 1 is positioned against this part of the passenger seat.
• the backrest 1 is then fixed to the carrier structure 4 by a connecting means 5 mounted through the surface of this part of the passenger seat.
• This connecting means 5 is positioned between the back of the backrest 1 and the supporting structure 4.
• the back of the backrest 1 is positioned against the back of the back of a passenger seat, the supporting structure 4 being integrated in the back of the passenger seat, the connecting means 5 through the back of the passenger seat.
• the carrier structure 4 has a profile adapted to resist torsion and bending. This resistance is preferably oriented against a force disposed along the axis of movement of the vehicle.
• the carrier structure 4 is adapted to resist without deformation at a stress of the order of at least 250 daN and / or at a stress recovery of the order of at least 5 m / s 2 .
• the profile of the carrier structure has an elongated section along the bending reinforcement axis, for example along a vertical axis or along an axis of movement of the vehicle.
• each arm 4a, 4b which carries the support structure 4 is adapted to resist torsion and bending.
• at least one arm 4b of the support structure 4 has a sectional profile comprising a central portion 4c associated with one or more lugs 4d oriented along an axis of reinforcement of the arm 4b to bending.
• these ears 4d also participate in fixing the carrier structure 4 to the wall of the passenger compartment, either directly or via a fixing interface.
• the arms 4a, 4b of the support structure 4 are integrated in a box 4e, so that a part of the box, for example the upper part 4ebis, realizes an additional arm for the reinforcement of the supporting structure 4.
• the backrest 1 is mounted on a portion of the chassis of the vehicle. This fixation of the backrest 1 on a portion of the vehicle chassis located at one of the side faces of the passenger compartment makes it possible to take advantage of the rigidity of the chassis as a support structure on which is fixed the assembly formed by the supporting structure 4 with the file 1.
• the attachment of the assembly formed by the carrier structure 4 with the backrest 1 on the support structure made by one of the side faces of the passenger compartment is made by mounting the end of the carrier structure 4 on the support structure.
• the carrier structure 4 is made in the form of a piece forming a common structure with the support structure. This common part can be obtained by molding, injection or by producing a mechanically welded assembly.
• the backrest 1 is mounted in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the wall on which it is mounted.
• the positioning of the backrest 1 made so that the back of the backrest 1 faces the direction of movement of the vehicle.
• Such positioning of the backrest 1 allows, when the user in a wheelchair is positioned on the front of the backrest 1, a blockage of the user against the backrest 1 during a braking.
• the wheelchair user is installed with his back resting against the back 1 of the layout of the invention and the side wall of the passenger compartment located on its side.
• the backrest 1 is integral with at least one armrest positioned on one of its sides.
