Definitions

• TITLE TRIM PANEL WITH TOP ORNAMENTAL PIECE WITH REINFORCED STRENGTH, FOR A VEHICLE DOOR
• each side door includes an external structural part (or metal panel) to which an internal trim panel is fixedly attached (and therefore oriented towards the passenger compartment).
• Certain trim panels include in particular a support, an upper strip trim secured to the support and defining a recess, and an upper ornamental piece having a lower part secured to the support and installed almost completely under the upper strip trim. .
• the trim panel does not include a support part. with a photon source, and therefore the passage between the upper edge of the upper ornamental piece and the upper headband trim allows small objects to pass through and find themselves housed inside the trim panel.
• the vehicle user must take it to an after-sales service center which must then dismantle at least part of the trim panel, which is time-consuming and expensive.
• the invention therefore aims in particular to improve the situation.
• trim panel suitable for forming part of a side door of a vehicle and comprising:
• an upper ornamental piece having a lower part secured to the support and having an upper edge separated from the upper headband trim by a passage.
• This trim panel is characterized by the fact that it also comprises an interface device coupling an upper part of the upper ornamental piece to the support to prevent the passage from widening, and arranged so as to obstruct this passage. .
• trim panel according to the invention may include other characteristics which can be taken separately or in combination, and in particular:
• the interface device may comprise, on the one hand, an interface part ensuring the coupling between the upper part of the upper ornamental part and the support, and, on the other hand, a part of obstruction fixedly secured to this interface part and ensuring obstruction of the passage;
• the obstruction part can be made of a material transparent to photons
• the interface device can comprise a source of photons fixedly attached to an upper face of the interface part and capable of generating photons in the direction of the obstructing part so that they come out through the passage to light the recess;
• this side door can be part of an automobile type vehicle.
• FIG. 1 schematically illustrates, in a perspective view from the side of the interior face, a part of an example of a vehicle side door comprising an example of production of a trim panel according to the invention
• the support SP is fixedly attached to the structural part PST, and can be made of rigid plastic or metal.
• this EBS upper strip trim defines a recess (or concave housing) RE.
• the upper ornamental part POS has a lower part which is secured to the support SP (see Figure 6), and comprises an upper edge BS which is separated (and therefore distant) from the upper strip trim EBS by a PL passage (see figures 1 to 5). We will return to this solidarity later.
• the interface device DI now obstructs the passage PL, both when the version of the vehicle belongs to the upper segment and when the version of the vehicle belongs to the lower segment, and the passage PL cannot be widened, there is no longer any risk that an object could pass between the upper edge BS of the upper ornamental part POS and the upper headband trim EBS.
• the interface device DI may comprise an interface part PI and an obstruction part PO.
• the interface part PI ensures the coupling between the upper part of the upper ornamental part POS and the support SP (see figure 3).
• There obstruction part PO is fixedly attached to the interface part PI and ensures obstruction of the passage PL (see figure 3).
• the interface device DI could only comprise one part ensuring both interfacing and obstruction.
• the obstruction part PO can be made from a material which is transparent to photons.
• This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the interface device DI also comprises, as illustrated without limitation in Figures 3 to 5, a photon source SOP fixedly secured to the upper face of its interface part PI and therefore to the The interior of the internal housing which is defined by its interface part PI and obstruction part PO.
• the photon source SOP is arranged so as to generate photons in the direction of the obstructing part PO so that they exit through the passage PL to illuminate the recess RE.
• this SOP photon source may include at least one light emitting diode (or LED) or a laser diode, with its control and power supply means.
• the interface device DI does not include the photon source SOP.
• the DI interface device may only include one part ensuring both interfacing and obstruction.
• the interface part PI may comprise at least one housing LP
• the upper ornamental part POS may comprise a internal face Fl which is provided with at least one first coupling tab PC1 housed in the corresponding LP housing.
• This ensures at least part of the coupling between the interface part PI and the upper ornamental part POS.
• this coupling takes place in the upper part PSP of the PI interface part and in the upper part of the upper ornamental part POS. But this is not obligatory.
• the number of housings LP (and therefore also the number of first coupling lugs PC1) is equal to six. But this number can take any value greater than or equal to one.
• the interface part PI can comprise at least a first through hole TT1, and the internal face Fl of the part d
• the upper ornament POS can be provided with at least a second coupling tab PC2 which passes through the first corresponding through hole TT1.
• This ensures at least part of the coupling between the interface part PI and the upper ornamental part POS.
• this coupling takes place in the lower part PIP of the interface part PI and in an intermediate part of the upper ornamental part POS. But this is not obligatory.
• the internal face Fl of the upper ornamental piece POS can be provided with at least one support tab PTS, and the PI interface part may comprise at least one PAP support tab which rests on the corresponding PTS support tab.
• the PI interface part may comprise at least one PAP support tab which rests on the corresponding PTS support tab.
• this support takes place in the intermediate part of the upper ornamental piece POS, and each tab support PAP projects downwards from an intermediate part of the interface part PI. But this is not obligatory.
• the number of support legs PTS (and therefore also the number of support legs PAP) is equal to two. But this number can take any value greater than or equal to one.
• the support SP can comprise at least a second through hole TT2, and the internal face Fl of the upper ornamental piece POS can be provided in a lower part with at least one fixing lug PF which passes through the second corresponding through hole TT2.
• the interface part PI can also include in its lower part PIP at least a third coupling tab PC3 which is provided with a third through hole TT3 crossed by the corresponding fixing tab PF.
• each third coupling tab PC3 projects downwards from the lower part PIP of the interface part PL This ensures the coupling between the lower part of the upper ornamental part POS and the support SP and the lower part PIP of the interface part PI, while offering at least one support point to the interface device DI.
• each fixing lug PF located behind a second through hole TT2
• each PF fixing tab could be a clipping tab.
• the support SP may comprise at least a fourth through hole TT4
• the interface part PI may also comprise in its lower part PIP at least a fourth coupling tab PC4 which passes through the corresponding fourth through hole TT4. This ensures the coupling between the support SP and the interface piece PI, and thus allows the interface device DI to ensure the coupling between the upper part of the upper ornamental piece POS and the support SP .
• the lower end of the upper strip trim EBS can also include at least a fifth through hole TT5 which is crossed by the corresponding fourth coupling tab PC4 .
• Each fifth TT5 through hole can optionally be defined in a coupling tab of the EBS upper fascia trim. This ensures the coupling between the lower part of the EBS upper strip trim and the SP support, while reinforcing the overall strength of the PG trim panel.
• the number of fifth through holes TT5 can be equal to the number of fourth coupling lugs PC4. But this number can take any value less than or equal to the number of fourth coupling legs PC4.
• each fourth PC4 coupling tab could be a clipping tab.
