Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle equipped with an A pillar and a windscreen. In the said vehicle the branches 9, 10 of a hollow section, mutually opposed via their wing-shaped edges 11, 12 together form a support surface and are securely fastened by means of an adhesive strip 2 which covers the junction zone. Application in particular to fixing motor vehicle windscreens in a corner.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un véhicule automobile muni d'-une colonne A, ainsi que d'un pare-brise
dont le bord est relié par l'intermédiaire d'une chenille
d'adhésif à une surface de support, s'étendant sensible -ment parallèlement audit pare-brise, de la colonne A qui forme un profil creux et possède, au-dessous du bord du pare-brise, une zone de liaison de branches du profil creux.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle provided with a column A, as well as a windshield
the edge of which is connected by means of a caterpillar
of adhesive to a support surface, extending appreciably parallel to said windshield, of the column A which forms a hollow profile and has, below the edge of the windshield, a connection zone of branches of the hollow profile.

Une réalisation de ce genre, telle que décrite dans la demande de brevet antérieure P 3 533 946,offre l'avantage consistant en ce que la colonne A, y compris le système de fixation de la vitre, affecte au minimum l'angle de visibilité du conducteur. Des réalisations classiques prévoient en revanche, en plus du système de fixation de la vitre, des ailes soudées supplémentaires qui sont orien tées, par rapport au profil creux, vers 1 'extérieur paral lèlement au plan de la vitre
Dans la réalisation selon la demande de brevet antérieure susmentionnée, les branches du profil creux se chevauchent au-dessous du bord de la vitre et par conséquent au-dessous de la chenille d'adhésif, et elles sont soli darisées par soudage.An embodiment of this kind, as described in the previous patent application P 3 533 946, offers the advantage that column A, including the glass fixing system, minimally affects the angle of visibility of the driver. Conventional embodiments, on the other hand, provide, in addition to the glass fixing system, additional welded wings which are oriented, relative to the hollow profile, towards the outside parallel to the plane of the glass.
In the embodiment according to the aforementioned prior patent application, the branches of the hollow profile overlap below the edge of the glass and therefore below the track of adhesive, and they are solidified by welding.

L'invention a pour objet de perfectiorller un véhicule automobile du type mentionné dans le préambule, c'est-à-dire que, tout en conservant les avantages de la réalisation selon la demande de brevet antérieure, elle vise à réduire la complexite de l'établissement de la liaison des branches du profil au-dessous du bord du pare-brise. The object of the invention is to improve a motor vehicle of the type mentioned in the preamble, that is to say that, while retaining the advantages of the embodiment according to the earlier patent application, it aims to reduce the complexity of the 'establishment of the connection of the branches of the profile below the edge of the windshield.

Conformément à l'invention, cet objet est atteint par le fait que les branches, mutuellement opposées par leurs bords, forment conjointement la surface de support et sont solidarisées par l'intermédiaire de la chenille d'adhesif qui recouvre la zone de liaison. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that the branches, mutually opposed by their edges, jointly form the support surface and are secured by means of the track of adhesive which covers the connection zone.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'in- vention :
- les bords des branches peuvent être formés par des ailes pénétrant dans l'espace interne du profil creux ;
- les bords peuvent délimiter entre eux un étroit interstice destiné à recevoir l'adhésif de la chenille ; et
- la colonne A peut être formée par deux pieces profi idées qui sont solidarisées, en particulier par soudage, le long d'ailes tournées à l'opposé des branches lorsqu'on observe le profil creux en coupe-transversale.According to other advantageous features of the invention:
- The edges of the branches can be formed by wings penetrating into the internal space of the hollow profile;
- The edges can delimit between them a narrow gap intended to receive the adhesive of the track; and
- column A can be formed by two profi ideas pieces which are joined together, in particular by welding, along wings turned away from the branches when the hollow profile is observed in cross section.

Ainsi, l'invention évite ou réduit d'une manière avantageuse des solidarisations supplémentaires par soudage par points pour relier les branches, situées coté pare-brise, des pièces profilées en tôle formant la colonne A creuse ; en effet, la chenille d'adhésif qui est de toute façon nécessaire pour assujettir la vitre à la colonne A est également utilisée pour établir cette liaison. Par conséquent, les branches peuvent etre réalisées relativement courtes avec réduction pondérale, étant donné qu'elles ne doivent pas nécessairement se chevaucher comme dans la réalisation antérieure. Thus, the invention advantageously avoids or reduces additional fastenings by spot welding to connect the branches, located on the windscreen side, of sheet metal parts forming the hollow column A; in fact, the track of adhesive which is in any case necessary to secure the window to the column A is also used to establish this connection. Consequently, the branches can be made relatively short with weight reduction, since they do not necessarily have to overlap as in the previous embodiment.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, en regard du dessin annexé sur lequel la figure unique est une coupe horizontale passant par la région de la colonne A de gauche d'un véhicule automobile. The invention will now be described in more detail by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the attached drawing in which the single figure is a horizontal section passing through the region of column A on the left of a motor vehicle.

Un pare-brise 1 est fixé par son bord de gauche illustre, au moyen d'une chenille d'adhésif 2, à une colonne
A designée par 3 et formant un profil creux. Le bord du pare-brise 1 coiffe par conséquent la colonne 3. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, cette colonne se compose de deux pièces profilées 4 et 5 qui, du côté tourné à l'opposé de la chenille d'adhésif 2 par rapport au profil creux formé par la colonne 3, sont pourvues de deux ailes soudées 6 et 7 orientées vers l'extérieur par rapport au profil creux, et sont solidarisées dans cette zone, par des points de soudure, sous une garniture d'étanchéité 8. A windshield 1 is fixed by its illustrated left edge, by means of an adhesive track 2, to a column
Designated by 3 and forming a hollow profile. The edge of the windshield 1 therefore covers the column 3. In this embodiment, this column consists of two profiled parts 4 and 5 which, on the side facing away from the track of adhesive 2 with respect to the hollow profile formed by the column 3, are provided with two welded wings 6 and 7 oriented outwards relative to the hollow profile, and are joined in this zone, by welding points, under a sealing gasket 8.

Les deux branches 9 et 10 des pièces profilées 4 et 5, s'étendant au-dessous de la chenille d'adhesif 2 et sensiblement parallèlement à la surface du bord du parebrise 1, ne se chevauchent pas mutuellement, mais se font mutuellement face, par leurs regions marginales formées par des ailes 11 et 12 s'engageant dans le profil creux, en délimitant entre elles un étroit interstice 13 servant à recevoir l'adhésif de la chenille 2. Par consequent, la liaison des deux branches 9 et 10, formant conjointement une surface 14 de support de la chenille 2, a lieu seulement en tirant parti de cette chenille 2 de toute façon nécessaire à la fixation du pare-brise 1 ; l'on peut ainsi se dispenser, dans cette zone, de liaisons soudées supplémentaires et, par conséquent, d'ailes soudées ou de chevauchements des branches. Cela n'exclut pas la présence d'éventuelles zones de soudage individuelles. The two branches 9 and 10 of the profiled parts 4 and 5, extending below the track of adhesive 2 and substantially parallel to the surface of the edge of the windshield 1, do not overlap each other, but face each other, by their marginal regions formed by wings 11 and 12 engaging in the hollow profile, delimiting between them a narrow gap 13 serving to receive the adhesive of the track 2. Consequently, the connection of the two branches 9 and 10, jointly forming a surface 14 for supporting the track 2, takes place only by taking advantage of this track 2 in any way necessary for fixing the windshield 1; it is thus possible to dispense, in this zone, with additional welded connections and, consequently, with welded wings or overlapping of the branches. This does not exclude the presence of any individual welding zones.

Comme le met en évidence la figure, la liaison des branches 9 et 10 conforme à l'invention n'entrave en aucune maniere la visibilité du conducteur ; bien au contraire, il est possible de maintenir la colonne 3 très mince à cet égard. As shown in the figure, the connection of the branches 9 and 10 according to the invention does not in any way impede the visibility of the driver; on the contrary, it is possible to keep column 3 very thin in this respect.

Une porte latérale 15 se raccorde de manière classique à la structure décrite, dans le sens longitudinal du véhicule. A side door 15 is conventionally connected to the structure described, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

I1 va de soi que de nombreuses modifications peuvent etre apportées au véhicule décrit et représenté, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.  It goes without saying that numerous modifications can be made to the vehicle described and shown, without departing from the scope of the invention.
