Description

L'invention concerne un coffre à bagages pour véhicule automobile. The invention relates to a luggage compartment for a motor vehicle.

I1 est connu de fixer sur les pavillons des véhicules automobiles des galeries destinées a supporter des bagages en excédent
Cependant, ces bagages ainsi placés à l'extérieur du véhicule doivent toujours être fixés solidement à la galerie pour éviter de les perdre ou pour empêcher qu'ils soient volés.
I1 is known to fix on the pavilions of motor vehicles galleries intended to support excess baggage
However, this luggage thus placed outside the vehicle must always be securely attached to the gallery to avoid losing it or to prevent it from being stolen.

Par ailleurs, ces bagages, fixés sur la galerie, offrent une prise au vent importante, ce qui ralentit les véhicules et est une source de bruit très genanter
également, pour éviter que ces bagages soient soumis aux intempéries, il est prévu de les recouvrir d'une bâche, cette bâche pouvant éventuellement constituer également le moyen de fixation des bagages à la galerie.
In addition, this luggage, fixed on the gallery, offers a significant wind resistance, which slows down the vehicles and is a very annoying source of noise.
also, to prevent this baggage from being subjected to bad weather, it is planned to cover it with a tarpaulin, this tarpaulin possibly also constituting the means of fixing the baggage to the gallery.

Cependant, la fixation de cette biche est longue et délicate, l'étanchéité n'est pas parfaite et les bagages peuvent être dérobés en entaillant la bichez
La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne à cet effet un coffre à bagages pour véhicule automobile caractérisé en ce qu'il se compose de deux éléments en matière rigide, formant deux coquilles, articulés l'un sur l'autre, et s'assemblant suivant un plan de joint à l'aide de moyens de fermeture, l'un des deux éléments ou élément inférieur étant pourvu sur sa face externe de moyens pour sa fixation sur les bords latéraux du pavillon du véhicule automobile, les articulations d'une part et les moyens de fermeture d'autre part étant situés sur les bords latéraux opposés du coffre adjacents aux moyens de fixation.
However, the fixing of this doe is long and delicate, the sealing is not perfect and the luggage can be stolen by cutting the doe
The present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose relates to a luggage compartment for a motor vehicle, characterized in that it consists of two elements made of rigid material, forming two shells, articulated one on the other, and assembling along a joint plane using closing means, one of the two elements or lower element being provided on its external face with means for its attachment to the lateral edges of the roof of the motor vehicle, the joints on the one hand and the closing means on the other hand being located on the opposite lateral edges of the trunk adjacent to the fixing means.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bord avant est incliné tandis que le bord arrière est relevé. According to another characteristic of the invention, the front edge is inclined while the rear edge is raised.

L'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, sur les dessins ci-joints, dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue latérale partielle d'un véhicule pourvu du coffre conforme à l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective à demi ouverte du coffre de la figure 1.
The invention is shown, by way of non-limiting example, in the accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a partial side view of a vehicle provided with the trunk according to the invention,
- Figure 2 is a half open perspective view of the trunk of Figure 1.

La présente invention a en conséquence pour but la réalisation d'un coffre à bagages pour véhicule automobile qui offre une prise au vent qui soit faible, qui ne soit pas une source de bruit, qui protège efficacement les bagages contre le vol et les intempéries. The present invention therefore aims to achieve a luggage compartment for a motor vehicle which offers a wind resistance which is weak, which is not a source of noise, which effectively protects the luggage against theft and bad weather.

Comme représenté sur les dessins ci-joints, ce coffre se compose de deux éléments I et 2 qui s'assemblent suivant un plan de joint 3 et qui sont articulés l'un sur l'autre sur un de leurs bords latéraux par des charnières 4
Sur le côté latéral opposé à celui comportant les charnières 4 sont prévus des moyens de fermeture 5 pourvus d'un cadenas ou d'une serrure.
As shown in the attached drawings, this box consists of two elements I and 2 which are assembled along a joint plane 3 and which are articulated one on the other on one of their lateral edges by hinges 4
On the lateral side opposite to that comprising the hinges 4 are provided closing means 5 provided with a padlock or a lock.

Chacun des deux éléments 1 et 2 est réalisé en matériau rigide et par exemple en métal embouti, la profondeur de chacun des éléments 1 et 2 étant identique ou non, mais de préférence l'élément inférieur 3 sera de profondeur plus faible que la profondeur de l'élément supérieur 1 afin de faciliter la mise en place des bagages. Each of the two elements 1 and 2 is made of rigid material and for example of stamped metal, the depth of each of the elements 1 and 2 being identical or not, but preferably the lower element 3 will be of depth less than the depth of the upper element 1 in order to facilitate the positioning of the luggage.

Cet élément inférieur 2 présente, sur son fond, des plots ou des nervures transversales 6 qui sont destinées à recevoir des moyens permettant la fixation du coffre sur les bords latéraux du pavillon 7 du véhicule automobile 8. This lower element 2 has, on its bottom, studs or transverse ribs 6 which are intended to receive means allowing the trunk to be fixed on the lateral edges of the roof 7 of the motor vehicle 8.

Dans l'exemple représenté, ces nervures 6 sont formées sur la face interne de l'élément inférieur 2 et les moyens de fixation du coffre au véhicule sont constitués par des barres 9 ou similaires fixées sur la face externe de l'élément inférieur 2 à hauteur des nervures de renfort 6, ces barres 9 étant pourvues à leur extrémité de moyens réglables 10 permettant la fixation de l'ensemble sur les bords latéraux 7 du pavillon et de préférence sur les pourtours des ouvertures de portes. In the example shown, these ribs 6 are formed on the internal face of the lower element 2 and the means for fixing the boot to the vehicle consist of bars 9 or the like fixed on the external face of the lower element 2 to height of the reinforcing ribs 6, these bars 9 being provided at their end with adjustable means 10 allowing the assembly of the assembly on the lateral edges 7 of the roof and preferably on the edges of the door openings.

Comme on le remarque sur les dessins ci-joints, les charnières 4 d'une part et les moyens de fermeture 5 d'autre part sont formés sur les deux bords latéraux opposés du coffre, c'est-à-dire sur les bords adjacents aux extrémités des moyens de fixation 9, 10 de façon que ce coffre, lorsqu'il est fixé à un véhicule, puisse s'ouvrir suivant l'un des côtés du véhicule en s'articulant suivant l'autre côté du véhicule, ce qui permet de faciliter les manoeuvres d'ouverture et de fermeture et de faciliter également la mise en place et l'extraction des bagages du coffre. As can be seen in the attached drawings, the hinges 4 on the one hand and the closure means 5 on the other hand are formed on the two opposite lateral edges of the box, that is to say on the adjacent edges at the ends of the fixing means 9, 10 so that this trunk, when it is fixed to a vehicle, can open along one of the sides of the vehicle by hinging along the other side of the vehicle, which facilitates opening and closing maneuvers and also facilitates the placement and removal of luggage from the trunk.

Afin de renforcer le fond de l'élément en coquille inférieur 2, celui-ci pourra comporter des rainures, de préférence longitudinales, ou toute autre déformation.  In order to reinforce the bottom of the lower shell element 2, it may have grooves, preferably longitudinal, or any other deformation.

Comme représenté sur les dessins, le coffre 1 est profilé de façon que son extrémité avant 11 soit inclinée de maniere similaire à celle du pare-brise 81 du véhicule afin d'offrir une prise au vent minimum.As shown in the drawings, the trunk 1 is profiled so that its front end 11 is inclined in a manner similar to that of the windshield 81 of the vehicle in order to offer a minimum wind resistance.

Egalement, le bord arrière 12 du coffre est relevé pour former une nervure transversale 11 qui est raccordée au fond de l'élément supérieur I par une courbe llî, cette disposition ayant pour effet de supprimer les tourbillonnements d'air à l'arrière du véhicule et donc de supprimer une cause de bruit. Also, the rear edge 12 of the boot is raised to form a transverse rib 11 which is connected to the bottom of the upper element I by a curve llî, this arrangement having the effect of eliminating the air swirls at the rear of the vehicle. and therefore to remove a cause of noise.

Egalement, lorsque ce véhicule tracte une caravane, la nervure 11 a pour effet de réduire la prise au vent de cette dernière en déviant vers le haut le courant d'air créé par le déplacement du véhicule afin que ce courant d'air passe au-dessus de la caravane. Also, when this vehicle is towing a caravan, the rib 11 has the effect of reducing the wind resistance of the latter by deflecting upward the air flow created by the movement of the vehicle so that this air flow passes through. above the caravan.

Afin de maintenir le coffre en position d'ouverture pour son chargement ou son déchargement, une tringle 12, articulée à l'intérieur de l'un des éléments, est prévue pour venir s'accrocher sur l'autre élément afin de maintenir l'élément supérieur 1 en position basculée par rapport à l'élément inférieur 2 (voir figure 2 > .  In order to keep the trunk in the open position for loading or unloading, a rod 12, articulated inside one of the elements, is provided to hang on the other element in order to maintain the upper element 1 in the tilted position relative to the lower element 2 (see FIG. 2>.
