Abstract

The cover is in one or more parts and is for an air passage for a windscreen wiper folded between a car bonnet and windscreen. The width or length of the cover (7) is greater than the depth covered. Near the edges (9) adjacent to the partitions (3) are fixings to enable these to press together flexibly. The two types of edge are thinner than the main parts and the edges of the cover have comb type teeth (10).

Description

La presente invention concerne un couvercle en une ou plusieurs parties pour une alvéole délimitée au zinzins dtun côté par des parties de paroi fixes, notamment un couvercle pourvu de passages d'air pour une alvéole recevant un essuie-glace placé en position escamotee entre le capot du moteur et le pare-brise d'tm véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a cover in one or more parts for a cell delimited zinzins on one side by fixed wall parts, in particular a cover provided with air passages for a cell receiving a wiper placed in the retracted position between the hood engine and windshield of a motor vehicle.

Les essuie-glace escamotes de voitures de tourisme sont généralement disposes, dans la position de repose, dans une alvéole qui est formée entre la zone inférieure du pare-brise et le bord arrière du capot du moteur et dont la zone de fond sert simultanément dtentrée d'air pour l'installation de chauffage et de ventilation du véhicule. Pour qutaucun corps étranger, comme par exemple du feuillage ou des matieres semblables, ne puisse pdnétrer par les orifices d'admission d'air, l'alvéole est obturée supérieurement par un couvercle qui comporte des passages d'air ayant une section relativement réduite qui empêche le passage de corps étrangers perturbateurs.Du fait de tolérances inévitables, on rencontre cependant des difficultés pour assurer ltétanchéité des zones du couvercle qui jouxtent les parties de paroi de l'alvéole afin qu'il ne puisse également pas se produire dans cette zone une aspiration de feuillage, de papier ou d'autres corps étrangers perturbateurs à l'intérieur du système de ventilation. Passenger car retractable wipers are generally arranged, in the resting position, in a cavity which is formed between the lower zone of the windshield and the rear edge of the engine hood and the bottom zone of which serves simultaneously as inlet of air for the vehicle's heating and ventilation system. In order that no foreign body, such as, for example, foliage or similar materials, can penetrate through the air intake orifices, the cell is closed off above by a cover which has air passages having a relatively reduced section which prevents the passage of disruptive foreign bodies. Due to inevitable tolerances, however, difficulties are encountered in sealing the areas of the cover which adjoin the parts of the cell wall so that it cannot also occur in this area. suction of foliage, paper or other disturbing foreign matter inside the ventilation system.

L'invention a en conséquence pour but de remédier à cela, et d'agencer le couvercle, sans augmentation sensible des frais de fabrication ou des difficultés de montage, de manière à être assuré également d'une étanchéité correcte dans les zones adjacentes aux parties de paroi de l'alvéole. The invention therefore aims to remedy this, and to arrange the cover, without appreciable increase in manufacturing costs or mounting difficulties, so as to also be assured of a correct seal in the areas adjacent to the parts. of the cell wall.

Ce problème est résolu selon l'invention, dans le cas d'un couvercle du type défini ci-dessus, en ce que la largeur et/ou la longueur du couvercle est su périeure à ltespacement jusqutà une partle de paroi associée ou supérieure à la distance séparant des par ties de paroi associées et en ce que les zones de bord du couvercle qui sont adjacentes à ces parties de paroi sont agencées de manière à s'appliquer contre celles-ci avec fléchissement élastique. This problem is solved according to the invention, in the case of a cover of the type defined above, in that the width and / or the length of the cover is greater than the spacing up to a part of the wall associated with or greater than the distance separating associated wall parts and in that the edge regions of the cover which are adjacent to these wall parts are arranged so as to press against them with elastic deflection.

Les zones de bord du couvercle peuvent ainsi avantageusement avoir une épaisseur de paroi plus faible que celle des autres zones. The edge areas of the cover can thus advantageously have a smaller wall thickness than that of the other areas.

On peut également obtenir un fléchissement correct en entaillant localement les lisières des zones de bordure, auquel cas elles sont agencées de préférence en forme de peigne. It is also possible to obtain correct deflection by locally cutting the edges of the border zones, in which case they are preferably arranged in the form of a comb.

Il peut cependant être également avantageux d'augmenter la flexibilité des zones de bordure par des perforations. However, it may also be advantageous to increase the flexibility of the border zones by perforations.

Suivant un mode avantageux de réalisation de l'invention, on peut enfin faire en sorte que les zones de bordure constituent chacune un composant séparé qui est relié de façon rigide ou séparable avec le couvercle. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is finally possible to ensure that the border zones each constitute a separate component which is rigidly or separable connected with the cover.

A cet effet, les zones de bord peuvent avan tageusement etre constituées d'un matériau plus flexible que la partie restante du couvercle. For this purpose, the edge zones can advantageously be made of a more flexible material than the remaining part of the cover.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention seront mis en évidence dans la suite de la description, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels s
- la figure 1 est une coupe verticale d'une alvéole, recevant un essuie-glace escamoté non représenté et placée en-dessous du pare-brise d'une voiture de tourisme, le couvercle étant représenté avant son montage dans une position au-dessus de l'alvéole,
- la figure 2 est une coupe qui correspond à la figure 1, mais cependant avec le couvercle mis en place, le capot du moteur du véhicule étant indiqué par des lignes en trait mixte ; et
- la figure 3 est une vue en plan de dessus d'un couvercle conforme à l'invention à l'état nonmonté.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be highlighted in the following description, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which s
- Figure 1 is a vertical section of a cell, receiving a retracted wiper not shown and placed below the windshield of a passenger car, the cover being shown before mounting in a position above of the cell,
- Figure 2 is a section which corresponds to Figure 1, but however with the cover in place, the hood of the vehicle engine being indicated by dashed lines; and
- Figure 3 is a top plan view of a cover according to the invention in the unassembled state.

En- dessous du pare-brise 1 d'une voiture de tourisme, non-représentée en détail, il est prévu une alvéole 2 qui sert à recevoir un essuie-glace pouvant etre escamoté, non représenté. L'alvéole 2 est délimitée latéralement par des parties de paroi 3 et elle comporte dans son fond 4 des orifices 5 qui servent d'une part à l'évacuation de l'eau et d'autre part dlentrée d'air pour un système de chauffage et ventilation du véhicule. Below the windshield 1 of a passenger car, not shown in detail, there is a cell 2 which is used to receive a retractable wiper, not shown. The cell 2 is delimited laterally by wall parts 3 and it has in its bottom 4 orifices 5 which serve on the one hand for the evacuation of the water and on the other hand for air intake for a system of vehicle heating and ventilation.

Les ailes du véhicule, qui sont reliées latéralement à l'alvéole 2, ont été désignées par 6 sur les dessins.The wings of the vehicle, which are connected laterally to the cell 2, have been designated by 6 in the drawings.

Il est prévu un couvercle 7, destiné à être placé au-dessus du fond 4 de l'alvéole 2 et qui a été représenté sur la figure 2 dans sa position de montage où il s'applique sur des entretoises d'espacement 8 faisant saillie du fond 4. Ce couvercle 7, qui a une structure monobloc dans ltexemple représenté et qui peut Stre formé par exemple dtune matière plastique, a une largeur supérieure à la largeur intérieure de l'alvéole 2. Pour permettre un montage étanche du couvercle 7 dans l'air véole 2, ce couvercle 7 comporte des zones de bord 9 de plus faible épaisseur de paroi qui ont en outre un profil de peigne, comme indiqué en 10, pour augmenter encore leur flexibilité. A cover 7 is provided, intended to be placed above the bottom 4 of the cell 2 and which has been shown in FIG. 2 in its mounting position where it is applied to spacing spacers 8 projecting from the bottom 4. This cover 7, which has a one-piece structure in the example shown and which can be formed, for example, from a plastic material, has a width greater than the internal width of the cell 2. To allow a tight assembly of the cover 7 in air voleole 2, this cover 7 has edge zones 9 of smaller wall thickness which also have a comb profile, as indicated in 10, to further increase their flexibility.

La partie centrale 11 du couvercle 7 présente, comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2, une épaisseur de paroi bien plus grande que celle des#zones de bordure 9 et elle est par conséquent également bien plus rigide. The central part 11 of the cover 7 has, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a wall thickness much greater than that of the # border areas 9 and it is therefore also much more rigid.

Pour permettre le passage de l'air et de liteau, le cou vercle 7 comporte des orifices 12 disposés et profilés de façon appropriée. Sur la figure 2, on peut voir comment les zones de bord 9 du couvercle 7 viennent s'appliquer d'une façon étanche, avec fléchissement élastique, contre les parties correspondantes 3 de la paroi de l'alvéole 2 en compensant les tolérances. En outre la figure 2 montre que l'alvéole 2 est obturée supérieurement par le capot. 13 du moteur représenté simplement dans ce cas par des lignes en trait mixte. To allow the passage of air and batten, the cover neck 7 has orifices 12 disposed and suitably shaped. In Figure 2, we can see how the edge areas 9 of the cover 7 are applied in a sealed manner, with elastic deflection, against the corresponding parts 3 of the wall of the cell 2 by compensating for the tolerances. Furthermore, FIG. 2 shows that the cell 2 is closed off at the top by the cover. 13 of the engine represented simply in this case by dashed lines.

On pourrait évidemment également envisager de réaliser le couvercle en plusieurs parties. Egalement il serait possible sans difficulté d'envisager des cas où un couvercle comporterait des zones de bord élastiquement flexibles dans la région de ses cotés longs.  One could obviously also consider making the cover in several parts. Also it would be possible without difficulty to envisage cases where a cover would include elastically flexible edge zones in the region of its long sides.
