Abstract
Description
les galeries de toit modernes que l'on fixe sur les véhicules automobiles comportent le plus souvent des barres sur lesquelles on pose et fixe les bagages à transporter. the modern roof racks that are attached to motor vehicles most often include bars on which the luggage to be transported is placed and fixed.
Ce mode de transport des bagages comporte divers inconvénients. Outre que les bagages reçoivent la pluie, la poussière, et les salissures, ils sont soumis à des efforts aérodynamiques très importants quinrisquent de compromettre leur fixation et diminuent en outre les performances du véhicule. This mode of transporting luggage has various drawbacks. Besides that the luggage receives rain, dust, and dirt, it is subjected to very significant aerodynamic forces which risk compromising its fixation and further decrease the performance of the vehicle.
le dispositif de transport de bagages qui fait l'objet de l'invention est destiné à supprimer ou à réduire ces inconvénients. the baggage transport device which is the subject of the invention is intended to eliminate or reduce these drawbacks.
Il comporte un support destiné à être placé sur le toit d'un véhicule automobile et à recevoir des bagages posés sur lui, ce support étant combiné avec un auvent agencé le long de son bord antérieur transversal et incliné d'avant en arrière à la manière d'un pare-brise. It comprises a support intended to be placed on the roof of a motor vehicle and to receive luggage placed on it, this support being combined with an awning arranged along its transverse front edge and inclined from front to back in the manner a windshield.
Grâce à cette combinaison on obtient de façon très simple, une bonne assise des bagages placés sur le support qui peut avoir toute constitution convenable et être formé par un simple plateau. Les bagages reçoivent de plus une certaine protection contre la pluie, la poussière et les salissures grâce à l'auvent, enfin la pénétration de l'en- semble dans l'air, aux grandes vitesses,est améliorée de même que les prformances du véhicule. Thanks to this combination, a very good foundation is obtained for the luggage placed on the support which can have any suitable constitution and be formed by a simple tray. The luggage also receives a certain protection against rain, dust and dirt thanks to the awning, finally the penetration of the assembly in the air, at high speeds, is improved as well as the performance of the vehicle. .
le plateau-support et l'auvent peuvent être réalisés en un seul bloc en toute matière appropriée de préférence légère et résistante. the support plate and the awning can be made in a single block of any suitable material, preferably light and resistant.
De préférence encore l'auvent incliné est relié au plateau-support par des joues latérales de forme triangulaire améliorant la protection des bagages et assurant la rigidité de l'ensemble. More preferably still the inclined awning is connected to the support plate by lateral cheeks of triangular shape improving the protection of the luggage and ensuring the rigidity of the assembly.
I1 est également avantageux que l'auvent se prolonge sous le support pour assurer une certaine continuité avec la paroi de la voiture au-dessus du pare-brise. I1 is also advantageous that the awning extends under the support to ensure a certain continuity with the wall of the car above the windshield.
La description qui va suivre en regard du dessin annexén donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée, les particularités qui ressortent tant du texte que du dessin faisant bien entendu partie de ladite invention. The description which follows with reference to the annexed drawing given by way of non-limiting example, will make it clear how the invention can be implemented, the particular features which emerge both from the text and from the drawing of course forming part of said invention.
- la figure 1 montre en perspective un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention. - Figure 1 shows in perspective an embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- la figure 2 en est une élévation latérale montrant le dispositif placé sur une galerie de toit. - Figure 2 is a side elevation showing the device placed on a roof rack.
- la figure 3 en est une vue en projection horizontale. - Figure 3 is a horizontal projection view.
Comme on le voit sur le dessin le dispositif com un porte un support constitué par/plateau 1 de forme rectangu- laire et de dimensions assez grandes pour recouvrir les barres 2 d'une galerie de toit sur lequel il vient se poser. As can be seen in the drawing, the device com has a support constituted by / tray 1 of rectangular shape and of dimensions large enough to cover the bars 2 of a roof rack on which it comes to rest.
le modèle de la galerie de toit peut être quelconque, sa fixation étant assurée comme d'habitude par des pattes 3 sur la carrosserie 4 d'une automobile.the model of the roof rack can be arbitrary, its fixing being provided as usual by lugs 3 on the body 4 of an automobile.
Le long du bord antérieur transversal du plateausupport t se trouve un auvent 5 incliné d'avant en arrière comme le pare-brise de la voiture dont on voit la naissance en 6, l'inclinaison pouvant même être un peu plus grande que celle du pare-brise pour augmenter le caractère fuyant, favorisant l'écoulement des filets d'air dans la marche de la voiture. Along the transverse front edge of the support plate is an awning 5 inclined back and forth like the windshield of the car whose birth is seen in 6, the inclination may even be a little greater than that of the visor -brise to increase the fleeting character, favoring the flow of air streams in the car's running.
Cet auvent peut être en une seule pièce avec le plateau 1 ou être rapporté et convenablement fizé sur lui. This awning can be in one piece with the plate 1 or be attached and suitably fixed on it.
De préférence des joues 7, que le dessin montre de forme triangulaire, relient les côtés de l'auvent au plateau en formant ainsi un contre-ventement et en améliorant la protection des bagages. Preferably cheeks 7, which the drawing shows in a triangular shape, connect the sides of the awning to the plate, thus forming a bracing and improving the protection of the luggage.
Comme figuré, l'auvent 5 se prolonge en 5a au-dessousdu plateau pour fermer l'intervalle entre le plateau et la carrosserie de la voiture. le bord 5b de ce prolongement peut être galbé, comme le montre la figure 3, de manière à épouser la forme de la carrosserie. Ce bord 5b pour rait d'ailleurs être muni d'une bavette souple destinée à s'appuyer sur la carrosserie. As illustrated, the canopy 5 extends at 5a below the tray to close the gap between the tray and the car body. the edge 5b of this extension can be curved, as shown in Figure 3, so as to match the shape of the body. This edge 5b could also be provided with a flexible flap intended to bear on the body.
L'auvent 5 peut être plan ou être galbé ou avoir aussi une forme ondulée comme représenté sur la figure 3 afin d'augmenter se rigidité. The canopy 5 can be flat or be curved or also have a corrugated shape as shown in Figure 3 in order to increase its rigidity.
Le développement en hauteur de l'auvent est tel que son bord supérieur 5c soit à peu près au niveau moyen du sommet des bagages habituels. The height development of the awning is such that its upper edge 5c is approximately at the average level of the top of the usual baggage.
Pour l'usage, on place le plateau- support 1 sur les appuis de la galerie dans la position que représente la figure 2, on pose les bagages sur le plateau et on fixe le tout par des sangles ou d'autres liens qui passent aous les barres 2 et sur les bagages pour maintenir le tout fermement assemblé. For use, we place the support tray 1 on the gallery supports in the position shown in Figure 2, put the luggage on the tray and fix everything with straps or other links that pass aous bars 2 and on the luggage to keep everything firmly assembled.
On pourrait d'ailleurs prévoir sous le plateau des pattes ou autres pièces destinées à améliorer la fixation sur la-galerie,
Si on veut améliorer la protection des objets à transporter, on eut naturellement les-recouvrir d'une bâche et,le cas échéant > l'auvent et le plateau peuvent être munis de pièces destinées à la fixation de la bache.One could also provide under the plate legs or other parts intended to improve the fixing on the gallery,
If we want to improve the protection of the objects to be transported, we naturally had them covered with a tarpaulin and, if necessary> the awning and the tray can be fitted with parts intended for fixing the tarpaulin.
Dans une variante, le plateau 1 pourrait être réalisé de manière à se fixer directement sur la carrosserie de la voiture, en comportant alors des pattes de fixation telles que les pattes 3 et des raidisseurs appropriés. In a variant, the plate 1 could be produced so as to be fixed directly to the body of the car, then comprising fixing lugs such as the lugs 3 and appropriate stiffeners.
le dispositif décrit peut être fabriqué en tout matériau approprié tel que bois, matière plastique, métal léger etc. the device described can be made of any suitable material such as wood, plastic, light metal, etc.
il va d'ailleurs de soi que les modes de réalisation décrits n'ont été donnés que titre d'exemples et qu'ils pourraient être modifiés, notamment par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention. it goes without saying that the embodiments described have only been given as examples and that they could be modified, in particular by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of the invention.
