Description

L'invention concerne un chapiteau de couchage destiné à être installé sur le toit de véhicules automobile, en particulier de voitures particulières. Jusqu'ici, les utilisateurs de véhicules sont obligés de passer la nuit dans des hôtels, des logements ou dans des tentes, parce qu'une voiture particulière n'offre normalement pas assez de place. The invention relates to a sleeping tent intended to be installed on the roof of motor vehicles, in particular passenger cars. So far, vehicle users have been forced to stay overnight in hotels, accommodation or in tents, because a private car normally does not provide enough space.

Or les nuitées dans des hôtels sont coûteuses et passer la nuit dans une tente emportée implique une peine assez grande pour le montage de celle-ci ; il faut aussi considérer que la tente et son armature doivent être emportées dans le véhicule, ce qui limite le volume disponible du coffre, qui est de toute façon faible.However, overnight stays in hotels are expensive and spending the night in a carried tent entails a fairly large penalty for setting up the tent; it should also be considered that the tent and its frame must be carried in the vehicle, which limits the available volume of the trunk, which is in any case small.

Le but de l'invention est de créer une possibilité de couchage pour les utilisateurs de véhicules automobiles, en particulier de voitures particulières, sans que le volume du coffre en soit réduit. The object of the invention is to create a sleeping possibility for users of motor vehicles, in particular passenger cars, without the volume of the boot being reduced.

Ce but est atteint suivant l'invention par un chapiteau de couchage, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un fond qui se monte sur la galerie d'un véhicule, est rigide et d'une seule pièce et ne déborde pas les dimensions du véhicule, un couvercle étant articulé à l'avant de ce fond et recouvrant, à l'état fermé, les parois latérales de celuici, cependant qu'une tente repliable est fixée entre les bords de ce fond et de ce couvercle. This object is achieved according to the invention by a sleeping tent, characterized in that it comprises a bottom which is mounted on the gallery of a vehicle, is rigid and in one piece and does not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle , a cover being hinged at the front of this bottom and covering, in the closed state, the side walls of this, while a folding tent is fixed between the edges of this bottom and of this cover.

Le couvercle de ce chapiteau est fixé, par une charnière sur l'extrémité du fond correspondant aux pieds et peut se relever à l'extrémité opposée en étant maintenu relevé par des étrésillons, des mâts ou des éléments analogues. The lid of this marquee is fixed by a hinge on the end of the bottom corresponding to the feet and can be raised at the opposite end by being kept raised by struts, masts or the like.

La tente et le fond et/ou le couvercle sont reliés entre eux de manière que les parois de la tente soient tendues et mises en position d'utilisation par l'ouverture du couvercle. The tent and the bottom and / or the cover are interconnected so that the walls of the tent are stretched and put in position for use by the opening of the cover.

Un système élastique est inséré utilement entre le couvercle et le fond, de préférence dans la charnière ; quand il se libère, ce système élastique ouvre le couvercle et le maintient dans la position voulue. A sa tête, la tente présente une entrée fermant au moyen d'un volet, ou rabat, d'une fermeture à glissière ou d'un moyen analogue. D'autre part, la tente est conçue comme un corps de tente ferme, s'étenç:ant sur les faces intérieures du fond et du couvercle, le corps de tente pouvant être enlevé et utilisé seul colmle tente. Le boîtier de ce chapiteau de couchage peut aussi être utilisé avantageusement pour le transport d'un équipement de ski.An elastic system is usefully inserted between the cover and the bottom, preferably in the hinge; when it is released, this elastic system opens the cover and keeps it in the desired position. At its head, the tent has a closing entrance by means of a flap, or flap, a zipper or the like. On the other hand, the tent is designed as a firm tent body, extending on the inner faces of the bottom and of the cover, the tent body being able to be removed and used alone as a tent. The casing of this sleeping tent can also be used advantageously for the transport of ski equipment.

Pour que l'utilisation de la tente soit facilité, il est prévu, sur le couvercle ou sur le fond, des organes de fixation et une échelle qui s'y fixe d'une manière amovible. To make the use of the tent easier, there are provided, on the cover or on the bottom, fixing members and a ladder which is fixed therein in a removable manner.

Enfin, on peut prévoir, dans la tente et/ou dans le couvercle ou dans le fond, un raccord pour une conduite de chauffage allant dans le véhicule.Finally, one can provide, in the tent and / or in the cover or in the bottom, a connector for a heating pipe going into the vehicle.

L'invention permet les possibilités d'exécutif les plus diverses ; l'une d'elles va etre expliquée à l'aide des dessins annexés ; sur ces dessins
Les figures 1 et 2 représentent une vue de côté et une vue
arrière d'un véhicule, comportant un
chapiteau de couchage fermé, monté sur le
toit
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent des vues du même véhicule,

Les figures 5 et 6 représentent le véhicule avec le chapiteau

La figure 7 représente une vue schématique du chapiteau de
couchage en position de fermeture.The invention allows the most diverse executive possibilities; one of them will be explained using the accompanying drawings; on these drawings
Figures 1 and 2 show a side view and a view
rear of a vehicle, comprising a
closed sleeping tent, mounted on the
roof
Figures 3 and 4 show views of the same vehicle,
with the sleeping tent in position
opening
Figures 5 and 6 show the vehicle with the marquee
sleeping and tent open and
Figure 7 shows a schematic view of the marquee of
sleeping in closed position.

Ce chapiteau de couchage est fixé habituellement sur la galerie d'un véhicule. S'il n'est pas utilisé, on peut le retirer. Il se compose essentiellement d'un fond 1, qui a environ la longueur et la largeur du toit du véhicule et possède avantageusement des parois remontant sur son pourtour. This sleeping tent is usually fixed on the gallery of a vehicle. If not in use, it can be removed. It essentially consists of a bottom 1, which has approximately the length and width of the roof of the vehicle and advantageously has walls going up around its periphery.

A l'extrémité avant de ce chapiteau,formant le côté des pieds, un couvercle relevable 3 est monté sur des charnières 2 quand il est fermé, ses parois recouvrent les parois latérales du fond. At the front end of this marquee, forming the side of the feet, a lifting cover 3 is mounted on hinges 2 when it is closed, its walls cover the side walls of the bottom.

Le fond et le couvercle sont avantageusement moulés, coulés ou fabriqués d'une autre maniere en une seule pièce, le matériau pouvant être surtout un métal léger, mais aussi du bois ou un matériau analogue. A l'état fermé, suivant la figure 7, le couvercle 3 et le fond 1 peuvent être verrouillés entre eux, de façon que l'intérieur du boîtier ne soit plus accessible. The bottom and the cover are advantageously molded, cast or otherwise made in one piece, the material possibly being mainly a light metal, but also wood or the like. In the closed state, according to Figure 7, the cover 3 and the bottom 1 can be locked together, so that the interior of the housing is no longer accessible.

Comme les figures 1 et 2 le montrent, le chapiteau fermé prend très peu de place, de sorte qu'il ne gêne guère la conduite du véhicule. Sur le couvercle 3 il est prévu des organes de fixation pour une échelle 4, qui s'enlève avant l'ouverture du chapiteau. As Figures 1 and 2 show, the closed marquee takes up very little space, so that it hardly interferes with driving the vehicle. On the cover 3 there are provided fixing members for a ladder 4, which is removed before the opening of the marquee.

Sur les autres figures 3 à 6, le couvercle est ouvert ; il est alors prévu des étrésillons, mâts ou éléments analogues et, le cas échéant, des organes à ressorts ou analogues, qui, une fois libérés, soulevent le couvercle et le maintiennent ouvert. Les étrésillons peuvent servir en même temps de renfort d'angles pour un corps de tente 5, qui est inséré entre le fond 1 et le couvercle 3. Ce corps de tente est formé et dimensionné de manière à se replier à la fermeture du chapiteau. Mais, par ailleurs, il s'étend sur toute la surface intérieure fond 1 au couvercle 3. Dans les zones d'angles, la tente et le fond sont reliés entre eux d'une manière amovible, de sorte que l'ensemble du corps de tente peut être sorti et utilisé comme une tente indépendante. In the other Figures 3 to 6, the cover is open; provision is then made for struts, masts or the like and, where appropriate, spring members or the like, which, once released, lift the cover and keep it open. The struts can serve at the same time as reinforcement of angles for a tent body 5, which is inserted between the bottom 1 and the cover 3. This tent body is formed and dimensioned so as to fold up when the marquee is closed. But, moreover, it extends over the entire inner surface of the bottom 1 to the cover 3. In the corner areas, the tent and the bottom are connected to each other in a removable manner, so that the whole body tent can be taken out and used as an independent tent.

A l'arrière, le corps de tente présente une entrée circulaire 6, qui se ferme au moyen d'un volet ou rabat-7 et est munie avantageusement d'une fermeture à glissière.  At the rear, the tent body has a circular entrance 6, which closes by means of a flap or flap-7 and is advantageously provided with a zipper.
