Description

ACCESSOIRE POUR VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
EQUIPE D'UNE ANTENNE EXTERIEURE
La présente invention se rapporte à un accessoire pour véhicule automobile équipé d'une antenne extérieure, par exemple une antenne flexible, droite et longiligne.
ACCESSORY FOR MOTOR VEHICLE
EQUIPPED WITH AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA
The present invention relates to an accessory for a motor vehicle equipped with an external antenna, for example a flexible, straight and elongated antenna.

Il est connu de fixer ce genre d'antenne sur le pavillon -du véhicule, ou même en d'autres endroits, par exemple sur ses gouttières. Si, par exemple, L'antenne est fixée sur le pavillon du véhicule, et que l'on fait passer ce dernier dans une station de lavage automatique, les rouleaux de lavage secouent fortement cette antenne, de sorte qu'elle vient alors choquer le pavillon du véhicule et endommager celui-ci. Le fait d'attacher l'antenne au pavillon avec un papier ou tissu adhésif ne résout pas vraiment ce problème, car l'antenne est dans ce cas en contact avec la carrosserie, tout en étant soumise à des chocs violents, de sorte qu'un risque d'endommagement du pavillon et même de l'antenne est toujours présent. It is known to fix this kind of antenna on the roof of the vehicle, or even in other places, for example on its gutters. If, for example, the antenna is attached to the roof of the vehicle, and the latter is passed through an automatic washing station, the washing rollers strongly shake this antenna, so that it then comes to shock the vehicle roof and damage it. Attaching the antenna to the roof with adhesive paper or cloth does not really solve this problem, since the antenna is in this case in contact with the body, while being subjected to strong shocks, so that there is always a risk of damage to the roof and even the antenna.

Par ailleurs, si l'on place sur le toit une galerie, ou des barres de support de bagages, de skis, ou autres, L'antenne est abaissée par cette galerie, ou ces barres, en direction du toit du véhicule et,- comme elle a tendance à battre en cours de route. elle vient quelquefois heurter le pavillon du véhicule, avec la encore un risque non négligeable d'endommagement du toit. Elle heurte par ailleurs la galerie ou les barres, ce qui crée un bruit désagréable. Furthermore, if a gallery is placed on the roof, or luggage, ski, or other support bars, the antenna is lowered by this gallery, or these bars, towards the roof of the vehicle and, - as it tends to beat along the way. it sometimes strikes the roof of the vehicle, again with a significant risk of damage to the roof. It also strikes the gallery or the bars, which creates an unpleasant noise.

La présente invention concerne un accessoire destiné à remédier à ce genre d'inconvénients. Il est constitué par un bloc souple ou semi-rigide, en caoutchouc, matière plastique ou métal semi-rigides par exemple, ce bloc ayant une base sensiblement plane par laquelle il est fixé sur une partie sensiblement plane du véhicule, par exemple sur son pavillon, et étant traversé par un perçage horizontal qui est relié à l'extérieur par une fente adjacente et parallèle à ce perçage, et qui est apte à recevoir en encastrement étroit une portion de cette antenne pour la bloquer en position. The present invention relates to an accessory intended to remedy this type of drawback. It is constituted by a flexible or semi-rigid block, made of rubber, plastic or semi-rigid metal for example, this block having a substantially flat base by which it is fixed on a substantially flat part of the vehicle, for example on its roof , and being traversed by a horizontal bore which is connected to the outside by an adjacent slot and parallel to this bore, and which is capable of receiving in narrow recess a portion of this antenna to block it in position.

L'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et autres caractéristiques ressortiront, au cours de la description suivante de deux exemples de réalisation de cet accessoire, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
Figure I est une vue partielle en perspective d'une portion de pavillon de véhicule automobile, équipé d'une antenne-fouet, c'est-à-dire d'une antenne souple et droite, ainsi que de cet accessoire
Figure 2 est une vue en perspective de cet accessoire seul ;
Figure 3 est une vue en coupe, selon III-III de la figure 1, avec l'antenne retenue dans cet accessoire
Figure 4 est une vue semblable à celle de la figure 3, dans une autre forme de réalisation de cet accessoire et sans l'antenne.
The invention will be clearly understood, and its advantages and other characteristics will emerge during the following description of two exemplary embodiments of this accessory, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure I is a partial perspective view of a portion of the roof of a motor vehicle, equipped with a whip antenna, that is to say a flexible and straight antenna, as well as this accessory
Figure 2 is a perspective view of this accessory alone;
Figure 3 is a sectional view, along III-III of Figure 1, with the antenna retained in this accessory
Figure 4 is a view similar to that of Figure 3, in another embodiment of this accessory and without the antenna.

En se reportant aux figures I à 3, cet accessoire est constitué d'un bloc de caoutchouc ou d'élastomère 1, découpé dans un cube d'environ un centimètre de côté, qui est collé, par sa base plante 2 et par l'intermédiaire d'une couche de colle 3, sur le pavillon 4 du véhicule. Referring to Figures I to 3, this accessory consists of a rubber or elastomer block 1, cut from a cube of about one centimeter on the side, which is glued, by its plant base 2 and by the through a layer of glue 3, on the roof 4 of the vehicle.

Le bloc 1 a sa face supérieure 5 de forme arrondie. Il est façonné, pour des questions d'aérodynamique, de manière à ne présenter aucun angle vif, une fois fixé sur le véhicule. I1 est placé derrière l'antenne-fouet 6 qui est fixée sur le pavillon 4 du véhicule, à une distance d du point de fixation 7 de cette antenne qui est inférieure à la longueur de l'antenne. The block 1 has its upper face 5 of rounded shape. It is shaped, for aerodynamic reasons, so as not to present any sharp angle, once fixed on the vehicle. I1 is placed behind the whip antenna 6 which is fixed to the roof 4 of the vehicle, at a distance d from the fixing point 7 of this antenna which is less than the length of the antenna.

Le bloc 1 est percé en son centre d'un trou cylindrique horizontal 8, dont le diamètre est égal à celui de l'antenne 6 au point de celle-ci qui est distant de d de sa base 7. Ce perçage 8 est apte à recevoir l'antenne 6, comme indiqué en traits mixtes sur la figure 1, une fente 9 étant pratiquée sur le flanc de ce bloc pour livrer passage à l'antenne avant qu'elle vienne se coincer dans le perçage 8. Bien entendu, le bloc I est collé sur fe pavillon 4 de manière que l'axe du perçage 8 soit dans le plan vertical contenant l'antenne 6. The block 1 is pierced in its center with a horizontal cylindrical hole 8, the diameter of which is equal to that of the antenna 6 at the point of the latter which is distant from d from its base 7. This hole 8 is suitable for receive the antenna 6, as shown in phantom in Figure 1, a slot 9 being formed on the side of this block to allow passage to the antenna before it gets stuck in the hole 8. Of course, the block I is glued to the roof 4 so that the axis of the bore 8 is in the vertical plane containing the antenna 6.

Avant de faire laver le véhicule, ou avant d'y fixer une galerie porte-bagages, ou des barres porte-tout ou porte-skis, on abaisse manuellement l'antenne 6 et on vient l'encastrer étroitement dans le perçage 8 du bloc 1. Le bloc 1 retient alors l'antenne à distance du pavillon pendant le lavage du véhicule. Il la maintient hors contact de la galerie ou des barres porte-bagages ou porte-skis et sert, en cours de route, d'élément amortisseur entre le pavillon 4 et l'antenne 6. Before having the vehicle washed, or before attaching a luggage rack, or all-purpose bars or ski racks, the antenna 6 is manually lowered and it is fitted tightly into the hole 8 of the block 1. Block 1 then retains the antenna at a distance from the roof during the washing of the vehicle. It keeps it out of contact with the gallery or the luggage or ski carrier bars and serves, during the journey, as a damping element between the roof 4 and the antenna 6.

Le bloc I représenté aux figures 1 à 3 est garni d'une fente 9 de passage d'antenne placée latéralement. L'invention n'est, bien entendu, pas limitée à cette configuration, et la figure 4, par exemple, montre une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la fente 9 est placée sur le dessus. Le bloc 1 peut être fixé au véhicule par d'autres moyens que le collage : il peut être, par exemple, vissé sur le pavillon 4, à partir de l'intérieur du véhicule préférentiellement. Préférentiellement, il est possible de prévoir plusieurs blocs 1 alignés pour y encastrer une même antenne, et en tout cas au moins deux blocs 1 alignés.  The block I shown in Figures 1 to 3 is lined with a slot 9 for antenna passage placed laterally. The invention is, of course, not limited to this configuration, and Figure 4, for example, shows an alternative embodiment in which the slot 9 is placed on top. The block 1 can be fixed to the vehicle by other means than bonding: it can be, for example, screwed onto the roof 4, preferably from inside the vehicle. Preferably, it is possible to provide several aligned blocks 1 for embedding the same antenna therein, and in any case at least two aligned blocks 1.
