Abstract

A small mesh trellis is mounted in front of a vehicle radiator to prevent insects from reaching and blocking the interstices of the radiator. The mesh may be rigid or flexible, may have a supporting frame, also rigid or flexible. Pref. the mesh is made of aluminium coated with PTFE, to facilitate cleaning. Typically the mesh pores are 0.5-1.5 mm. across.

Description

ECRAN DE PROTECTION POUR RADIATEUR DE
VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
Les radiateurs de véhicules automobiles, principalement des camions, ne sont pas protégés contre les insectes de tous genres (moustiques, guêpes, papillons, etc.) qui s'y écrasent après avoir passés à travers les jours de la calandre.PROTECTION SCREEN FOR RADIATOR
MOTOR VEHICLE
Motor vehicle radiators, mainly trucks, are not protected against all kinds of insects (mosquitoes, wasps, butterflies, etc.) which crash into them after passing through the days of the radiator grille.

Avec le temps, il en résulte un encrassement qu'il est pratiquement impossible d'éliminer et qui a pour conséquence de réduire considérablement l'efficacité du radiateur et par voie de conséquence le refroidissement du moteur. On connait les risques, surtout en saison chaude, que cette situation peut engendrer au niveau du fonctionnement du moteur.Over time, this results in fouling which is practically impossible to remove and which has the consequence of considerably reducing the efficiency of the radiator and consequently the cooling of the engine. We know the risks, especially in the hot season, that this situation can generate in terms of engine operation.

L'ecran selon la presente invention permet de supprimer ces inconvénients et les risques qui en découlent. The screen according to the present invention makes it possible to eliminate these drawbacks and the risks which result therefrom.

A cet effet, cet écran est caractérisé par le fait qu'il est constitué par un treilli muni de moyens permettant de le fixer amoviblement devant le radiateur de manière à laisser passer l'air et à retenir les insectes.To this end, this screen is characterized by the fact that it is constituted by a trellis provided with means making it possible to fix it removably in front of the radiator so as to allow air to pass and to retain insects.

Periodiquement, lorsque le besoin s'en fait sentir, l'écran est enlevé et nettoye. Periodically, when the need arises, the screen is removed and cleaned.

Le dessin ci-annexé représente schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention.The attached drawing shows schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue en élévation de face de l'écran en place sur un camion; la figure 2 est une vue en coupe, selon la ligne II-II, d'un détail; la figure 3 est une vue en plan correspondant à la figure 2.Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the screen in place on a truck; Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II, of a detail; FIG. 3 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 2.

L'écran représente est constitué par un treilli souple 10, en aluminiums de forme rectangulaire, correspondant à celle de la calandre C du camion, dont les quatre côtês sont munis d'une bordure 11, egalement souple, en matière synthétique présentant une bonne resistance mecanique ., chimique et thermique. La maille de ce treillis est comprise entre 0,5 et 1-,5 mm.The screen represents is constituted by a flexible mesh 10, of aluminum of rectangular shape, corresponding to that of the grille C of the truck, the four sides of which are provided with an edge 11, also flexible, made of synthetic material having good resistance. mechanical, chemical and thermal. The mesh of this mesh is between 0.5 and 1-.5 mm.

Cet écran comprend en outre des moyens permettant de le fixer amoviblement
devant le radiateur R du camion, dans l'ouverture de la carrosserie correspondant à la calandre. Ces moyens comprennent des pièces 12 fixees sur les quatre côtés du bord de ladite ouverture et des oeillets 13, de forme ovale, sertis dans la bordure 11. Les pièces 12 sont constituées par un corps 14 muni de vis de fixation et par un axe 15 dont la tête 16 s'engage, à l'encontre de l'action d'un ressort 17, dans l'ouverture de l'oeillet 13 correspondant et verrouille la fixation -lorsqu'elle est tournée de 900.This screen further comprises means making it possible to fix it removably
in front of the radiator R of the truck, in the opening of the bodywork corresponding to the radiator grille. These means comprise parts 12 fixed on the four sides of the edge of said opening and eyelets 13, of oval shape, set in the edge 11. Parts 12 are constituted by a body 14 provided with fixing screws and by an axis 15 whose head 16 engages, against the action of a spring 17, in the opening of the corresponding eyelet 13 and locks the fixing - when it is turned by 900.

L'écran ainsi mis en place devant le radiateur du camion filtre l'air de refroidissement en empêchant les insectes d'atteindre la surface frontale du radiateur après avoir traversé la calandre.The screen thus installed in front of the truck's radiator filters the cooling air by preventing insects from reaching the front surface of the radiator after passing through the radiator grille.

Lorsque 1 ecran est encrassé, on le détache de la calandre en libérant les oeillets 13 et on le nettoie soit en le plongeant dans un bain, soit en le brossant. Pour faciliter cette opération, on pourra utiliser un treilli traité avec un produit, par exemple du tefflon, empêchant que les corps des insectes se fixent fortement sur la surface des fils du treilli.When 1 screen is dirty, it is detached from the grille by releasing the eyelets 13 and it is cleaned either by immersing it in a bath, or by brushing it. To facilitate this operation, it is possible to use a trellis treated with a product, for example tefflon, preventing the bodies of insects from attaching strongly to the surface of the trellis wires.

L'invention n'est évidemment pas limite à la forme d'exécution représentée au dessin.The invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing.

En particulier les moyens de fixations pourraient être constitués par des pressions, des tendeurs, etc.In particular, the fixing means could consist of pressures, tensioners, etc.

Par ailleurs la bordure 11 pourrait être rigide, constituée par exemple par un cadre métallique.Furthermore, the border 11 could be rigid, constituted for example by a metal frame.

Enfin l'écran pourrait être monté directement sur la calandre C, soit devant, soit derrière, ou eventuellement sur le radiateur R, ou encore sur une partie de la carrosserie. Finally, the screen could be mounted directly on the grille C, either in front of or behind, or possibly on the radiator R, or even on a part of the bodywork.
