Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a dashboard assembly mounted on a vehicle, for example a dashboard storage.
- the vehicle interiors often include overlays of different materials, for example cockpit elements or dashboard covered with coating parts for embellishing or functionalizing certain surfaces. This raises the problem of an elegant and durable attachment of these parts of coating, which are generally made of a different material of the cabin element that they cover. Thus, an interval may be formed between the coating member and the cabin element which affects the perceived quality and / or function of said surface.
- this system has the particular disadvantage of not being transposable to a vehicle dashboard element, which requires different shapes and materials.
- An object of the present invention is to meet the disadvantage of the above-mentioned prior art document and in particular to propose a vehicle dashboard assembly comprising a piece of lining affixed in an elegant manner. and durable, and in particular leaving no apparent gap between the coating piece and the coated dashboard element.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a vehicle dashboard assembly, comprising: A flexible coating part comprising at least one end,
- a dashboard element made of rigid material with a storage surface arranged to be covered at least partially by the lining piece
- the dashboard element comprises at least one slot in which is arranged, that is to say inserted at least a portion of the end of the liner piece.
- the longitudinal opening formed by the slot is arranged to be oriented towards the roof of the vehicle, alternatively to the windshield or the hood of the vehicle.
- said end is arranged to be oriented towards the passenger compartment of said vehicle, which optimizes the aesthetic effect, and simplify the assembly and disassembly of the coating part.
- the normally visible end of the flexible liner piece is thus hidden in the slot.
- the coating part is an elastomeric mat, which allows a more pleasant feel and easier insertion into the slot of the cabin element.
- this elastomeric mat is made of a sound-absorbing and scratch-resistant material.
- the dashboard element defines a cavity.
- the dashboard assembly forms a dashboard storage, for example to deposit a wallet, keys or a telephone.
- the dashboard assembly comprises clipping means disposed on said lining piece and on said dashboard element, in order to ensure a durable and easy attachment and a holding in position of the coating part.
- the clipping means are located near the slot of said dashboard element, for example less than 2 cm, preferably less than 1 cm of the longitudinal opening formed by the slot, which during assembly allows at least a portion of the fastening of the liner piece to the dashboard element at the same time as the insertion of the end of the liner piece into the slot .
- such clipping means make it possible to prevent the end of the lining piece from being disengaged from the slot, for example following a dimensional change in the lining piece.
- at least a portion of the clipping means are located opposite the slot of said dashboard element, for example at one end of the facing piece of said end inserted into the slot, and / or or at the bottom of the cavity formed by the dashboard element. This allows a stable and durable attachment of the liner to the dashboard element, while allowing easy replacement of the liner piece if necessary.
- the dashboard element comprises a horizontal portion, or oriented towards the front of the vehicle, constituting the storage surface and an oblique portion, for example facing the rear of the vehicle, and said slot is located on said oblique portion.
- said slot comprises at least one opening arranged to be oriented towards the inside of the dashboard, which allows to evacuate any dust inserted inside the slot.
- FIG. 1 represents a three-dimensional view of a dashboard assembly according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 represents a sectional view of a dashboard assembly according to FIG. 1.
- the present invention consists of a dashboard assembly for any type of vehicle, for example private or utility vehicles with two or four wheels, such as cars, scooters, buses, vans or military vehicles.
- FIG. 1 represents a dashboard assembly 10 comprising a dashboard element 100 defining a cavity 101 provided with an opening 102 designed to face a vehicle interior and comprising a top surface (not visible). and a lower surface 1 10 visible in FIG.
- the lower surface 1 10 comprises a horizontal portion 1 1 1 defining a storage surface and an oblique portion 1 12 completely covered with a coating member 200 of flexible material and which are therefore not visible in Figure 1, but visible in Figure 2.
- the oblique portion 1 12 comprises a slot 120, that is to say a longitudinal opening open to the roof of the roof and running through almost the entire length of the oblique surface 1 12, along a lower edge of the opening 102 of the cavity 101 formed by the dashboard element 100.
- the coating member 200 defines a bowl 201 comprising grooves and edges 202 of low height, for example a few millimeters, and disposed above the horizontal portion 1 1 1 of the dashboard element 100 , as well as an oblique surface 210.
- This oblique surface 210 covers the oblique portion 1 12 of the dashboard element 100, as can be seen in FIG. 2 and comprises an end 21 1 housed, inserted or accommodated in the slot 120 of the dashboard element 100.
- the slot 120 is provided with an inner flange 121 for locking in translation the end 21 1 and therefore the coating part 200.
- an opening 122 between the flange 121 and the oblique portion 1 12 of the dashboard element 100 allows to create a clearance allowing the removal of dust that can be deposited or inserted into the slot 120 while accepting dimensional variations of the end 21 1 of the liner 200.
- the dashboard element 100 and the coating part 200 are provided with clipping means to achieve a fixation.
- the oblique portion 1 12 of the dashboard element 100 is provided with cavities 1 13 disposed regularly close to and aligned with the slot 120, less than 2 cm above the longitudinal opening formed by the slot .
- These cavities 1 13 are located in the lower half of the oblique portion 1 12 and accommodate clips or protrusions 212 disposed on the underside or inner side of the oblique surface 210 of the coating member 200 in a nesting or clipping relationship .
- These clipping means thus allow easy assembly and disassembly of the coating member 200 to the dashboard element 100, while ensuring a durable fixation, since these clipping elements are not affected by deformations or dimensional variations of either of the liner piece and the dashboard member.
- clipping means may be arranged on the horizontal portion 1 1 1 of the inner lower face 1 10 of the dashboard element 100 and in particular cavities hosting protrusions placed opposite the lower surface of the bowl 201 (not shown).
- these additional clipping means are disposed opposite the slot 120 and the end 21 1, at the bottom of the cavity 101 in order to achieve a stable and durable attachment and to "stretch" the piece of coating to to avoid the formation of any wave or bead.
- glue dots may also be made to secure the coating member 200 to the dashboard element 100.
- the coating member 200 is less rigid than the dashboard element 100 and preferably flexible, that is to say made of a material easily accepting a deformation, without breaking and reversibly.
- the coating member 200 forms an elastomeric mat of limited thickness, for example less than 1 cm and preferably 1 to 5 mm.
- This elastomeric mat may be made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), such as a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene block copolymer (BCPP).
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
- TPO thermoplastic polyolefin
- PP polypropylene
- PE polyethylene
- BCPP polypropylene block copolymer
- the dashboard element 100 is preferably made of rigid material, or at least more rigid than the material of the piece of
- it may be a polymer commonly used for vehicle dashboards, such as polypropylene (PP) or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
- PP polypropylene
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- dashboard element 100 which does not necessarily define a cavity, but may take any form required and in particular open forms, without an upper wall.
- the dashboard element 100 is not necessarily provided with an oblique portion 1 12 and the slot 120 can be arranged on any other adequate portion and in particular a horizontal or vertical portion.
- the slot is not necessarily open to the roof of the vehicle roof, but can also be opened at any relevant angle, for example to the windshield or the front hood of the vehicle.
- the bowl 201 may comprise edges of any height or no edge, grooves of any type or other textures or relief or inserts of different materials.
- the shape of the clipping means is in no way limited to the example given in FIG. 2 and these elements can be in number of one or more, continuous or discontinuous along the slot 120 or offset from the slot, or be arranged at other locations of the interface between the piece of coating and the dashboard element.
