Definitions
- TITLE DEVICE FOR ATTACHING A FENDER TO A MOTOR VEHICLE SIDE STRUCTURE
- the present invention claims the priority of French application 2013248 filed on December 15, 2020, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated herein by reference.
- the invention relates to motor vehicles comprising at least one wing fixed in its lower part to the structure of the vehicle by a fixing device.
- the invention also relates to such wing attachment devices.
- the invention relates in particular to the attachment of a vehicle front fender.
- the invention also relates to a method for assembling a wing to a motor vehicle structure, according to the invention.
- the fenders of vehicles are bodywork elements which are fixed to the structure of the vehicle in different places and in particular in their lower part.
- This fixing is done by means of support parts, for example assembled by welding to a structural element of the vehicle.
- the supports therefore have a fixing interface for fixing a fender.
- the fixing of the wing on its support can be done by screwing so that the support will, for example, present a fixing interface with at least one opening for the passage of a fixing screw forming a fixing interface.
- the document FR2924085 thus discloses a wing support fixed by screws to a lower wall of the wing.
- the screws pass through a horizontal wall of a support arranged in the lower part of a front foot and a horizontal lower wall of the wing so as to fix the wing to the support.
- This configuration is particularly suitable in the case where the wing can be fixed in the lower part of the vehicle structure invisibly. In case such a binding cannot be positioned low enough or not visible, the wing binding becomes visible. In addition, it should be noted that for reasons of ease and cost of separability of the wing, for example following an impact, the wing must be able to be replaced without dismantling other parts of the vehicle.
- the object of the invention is to solve the problems of the prior art.
- one of the objectives of the invention is to propose a fixing of the wing to the structure of the vehicle which is invisible from the outside of the vehicle, only the wing thus being visible, while respecting the criterion of the dismountability of the wing in relation to the structure of the vehicle.
- the invention proposes a motor vehicle bodywork element comprising a wing comprising an inner face and an outer face, a support comprising a first contact part fixed to the inner face of the wing and comprising an interface fixing intended to fix the bodywork element to a lateral structure of the vehicle, said bodywork assembly being remarkable in that the support comprises a part remote from the face of the wing comprising the fixing interface), and in that that the support is fixed to the wing at the level of the first contact part by an assembly means arranged only on the side of the inner face of the wing.
- the means for fixing the fender to the side structure of the vehicle do not cross the fender and are not visible on the side opposite the inner face of the fender.
- the support comprises a first contact part and a second contact part fixed on the inner face of the wing each by an assembly means arranged only on the side of the inner face.
- the first contact part or one of the two contact parts is fixed to the inner face of the wing by welding or a bonding means.
- the bodywork element comprises a first contact part and a second contact part, said second contact part being fixed by a bonding means to the inner face of the fender.
- the first contact part is fixed to the inner face of the wing by welding.
- the second contact part is fixed using a wedging mastic to the inner face of the wing.
- the second contact part is arranged between the first contact part and the fixing interface.
- the wing comprises a wing root part, a wheel arch intended to be arranged opposite a wheel arch of the vehicle, a rear edge intended to extend along a door pillar of the vehicle, said wing root part being arranged between the wheel arch and the rear edge, the support being fixed to the wing root part, at the end of the wing root part.
- the invention relates to a vehicle comprising a bodywork element according to the invention.
- the invention relates to a vehicle, comprising a hooking lug fixed to the side structure element of the vehicle, said hooking lug being vertically remote from the lower edge of the side structure of the vehicle, said hooking lug attachment being fixed to the support by the fixing interface.
- the fixing of the hooking lug to the support fixing interface is removable, for example the fixing is of the screw-nut type.
- the invention also relates to a method for assembling a wing on a vehicle side structure, comprising the following successive steps:
- a first step of assembling a bodywork element according to the invention the support being fixed to an inner face of the wing at least using a bonding means.
- a second step of assembling the bodywork element by fixing by screwing the fixing interface of the support to the structure of the vehicle, preferably to a hooking lug fixed to the side structure of the vehicle,
- a third stage of polymerization and/or hardening of the bonding means is
- FIG.1 represents the side of a wing attached to a vehicle structure.

- the support 3 is fixed to the wing 2 at the level of the first contact part 31 by a means of assembly arranged only on the side of the inner face 21 .
- the remote part comprising the fixing interface 32 is not in contact with the inner face 21 and tends to move away from the inner face 21.
- the support 2 and its fixing interface 32 are arranged opposite the inner face 21 .
- the bodywork element 1 as shown in Figure 3 comprises a support device 3 comprising two contact parts, respectively 31 and 33, fixed on the inner face 21 of the wing 2, each by an assembly means arranged only on the inner face side 21 .
- the two contact parts 31 and 33 are not adjacent, the support 3 comprising an intermediate part 34 located between the contact parts 31 and 33.
- the part intermediate 34 is arranged facing the inner face 21 .
- the intermediate part 33 does not touch the inner face 21 .
- the first contact part 31 is arranged at the end of the support 3 and is fixed at the lower end of the wing 2, that is to say to a lower end of the wing 2 in position on the vehicle.
- the first contact part 31 is fixed by welding to the inner face 21 or is fixed to the inner face of the wing 21 by gluing
- the part 33 is fixed by gluing to the inner face 21 or is fixed by welding to the inner face of the wing 21 .
- the assemblies of the contact parts 31, 33 with the inner face 21 of the wing 2 are made by welding and/or gluing.
- the assembly by bonding or bonding is carried out by means of a wedging mastic, said wedging mastic polymerizing and adhering fixed to the surfaces in contact following a rise in temperature.
- the wedging mastic is arranged between the second contact part 33 and the inner face 21 of the wing 2, in contact with the inner face 21 and the second part contact 33.
- the first contact part 31 is arranged at one end of the support 3 and is assembled by welding at the lower end of the wing.
- the second contact part 33 assembled according to FIG. 2 or 3 by means of a wedging mastic on the inner face 21 is remote from the first contact part 31 .
- the fixing interface 32 is arranged between the first contact part 31 and the second contact part 33.
