Abstract

Device for assembling, along their edges, plane elements, characterised in that it consists of a clip 1 made from polyester reinforced with glass fibres, with a "U"-shaped profile the branches of which U 3 and 4 each carry, on their internal face, a fastening claw 7, respectively 8, intended to interact respectively with each of the elements to be assembled.

Description

La présente invention concerne l'assemblage d'un élément plan sur un autre, et plus spécialement la fixation d'un article présentant un rebord plan sur un support présentant également un rebord plan. Une application de l'invention vise la fixation d'un déflecteur d'air sur la carrosserie d'une automobile, mais bien entendu l'invention vise plus généralement tout assemblage de ce genre. The present invention relates to the assembly of one planar element on another, and more particularly the fixing of an article having a plane rim on a support also having a planar rim. An application of the invention relates to the fixing of an air deflector on the body of an automobile, but of course the invention relates more generally to any assembly of this kind.

Le montage, sur un support comportant un rebord plan, d'un article ou accessoire sur lequel est prévu un rebord correspondant, bien que relevant d'un principe très simple, pose quelques problèmes, notamment quand on s'adresse à un matériel exposé aux intempéries et à la corrosion, par exemple les accessoires automobiles montés sur l'extérieur de la carrosserie. The mounting, on a support having a flat rim, of an article or accessory on which a corresponding rim is provided, although falling under a very simple principle, poses some problems, in particular when dealing with material exposed to weather and corrosion, such as car accessories mounted on the outside of the body.

En effet, il est aisé de réunir ensemble deux éléments plans au moyens de pattes métalliques vissées. Par contre ces pattes sont rapidement attaquées par la rouille, et deviennent inesthétiques et fragiles. Au surplus le montage de ces pattes est relativement long, ce qui est un inconvénient non négligeable compte-tenu du prix de la main d'oeuvre.Indeed, it is easy to bring together two planar elements by means of screwed metal tabs. By cons these legs are quickly attacked by rust, and become unsightly and fragile. In addition, the mounting of these legs is relatively long, which is a non-negligible drawback given the price of labor.

L'invention permet d'éliminer tous ces inconvénients, en remplaçant ces pattes par des pièces présentant un certain nombre de caractéristiques spéciales, qui permettent de réaliser un assemblage rapide, sûr et esthétique. The invention makes it possible to eliminate all these drawbacks, by replacing these legs with parts having a certain number of special characteristics, which make it possible to carry out a rapid, safe and aesthetic assembly.

Les pièces d'assemblage selon l'invention consistent en des pinces, réalisées de préférence en polyester armé de fibres de verre, présentant à la fois une solidité élevée et une élasticité satisfaisante, à profil en U, dont les branches portent chacune sur leur face interne des griffes d'accrochage destinées à coopérer respectivement avec les deux éléments à assembler. The assembly parts according to the invention consist of clips, preferably made of polyester reinforced with glass fibers, having both a high solidity and a satisfactory elasticity, with a U-shaped profile, the branches of which each bear on their face. internal hooking claws intended to cooperate respectively with the two elements to be assembled.

Plus particulièrement, la pince selon l'invention comporte une première griffe située à l'extrémité d'une branche du U et orientée vers l'intérieur de manière à venir s'accrocher sous l'arête du rebord du premier élément, et une seconde griffe, faisant saillie sur la surface interne de l'autre branche du U, de manière à venir s'accrocher dans une encoche pratiquée dans la face externe du second élément. More particularly, the clamp according to the invention comprises a first claw situated at the end of a branch of the U and oriented inwards so as to come to hang under the edge of the rim of the first element, and a second claw, projecting from the internal surface of the other branch of the U, so as to catch on a notch made in the external face of the second element.

Pour l'assemblage des deux éléments, on répartit un certain nombre de pinces le long des deux rebords accolés, éventuellement avec interposition d'un joint, les branches de chaque pince étant légèrement convergents vers leurs extrémités au repos, et devant donc être écartés pour leur mise en place, cette déformation élastique assurant la coopération des deux griffes sur leurs points d'accrochage respectifs sur les deux éléments. Le serrage des deux éléments l'un contre l'autre est donc assuré par l'élasticité du matériau des pinces. For the assembly of the two elements, a number of clamps are distributed along the two joined edges, possibly with the interposition of a joint, the branches of each clamp being slightly convergent towards their ends at rest, and therefore having to be separated for their establishment, this elastic deformation ensuring the cooperation of the two claws on their respective attachment points on the two elements. The tightening of the two elements against each other is therefore ensured by the elasticity of the material of the clamps.

La pose de ces pinces est instantanée et n'exige aucune main-d'oeuvre spécialisée. Leur matériau étant insensible à la corrosion, elles conservent leur aspect et leurs qualités mécaniques. I1 apparaît ainsi qu'en dépit de la simplicité apparente de cette nouvelle solution, celle-ci représente un progrès important dans ce domaine technique et, n'ayant jamais été proposée, ne relevait donc nullement de l'évidence. The installation of these pliers is instantaneous and does not require any specialized labor. Their material being insensitive to corrosion, they retain their appearance and their mechanical qualities. It thus appears that, despite the apparent simplicity of this new solution, it represents significant progress in this technical field and, having never been proposed, was therefore by no means obvious.

On va décrire maintenant l'invention dans son application à la fixation d'un déflecteur sur le cadre de la portière d'une voiture, en se référant au dessin annexé, sur lequel
- la figure 1 est une vue de profil de la pince selon l'invention
- la figure 2 est une coupe transversale de l'assemblage d'un déflecteur sur une carrosserie de porte d'automobile, réalisé au moyen d'une pince selon l'invention.We will now describe the invention in its application to the fixing of a deflector on the frame of the door of a car, with reference to the attached drawing, in which
- Figure 1 is a side view of the clamp according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a cross section of the assembly of a deflector on an automobile door body, produced by means of a clamp according to the invention.

Si l'on se réfère tout d'abord à la figure 1, la pièce d'assemblage selon 1 invention est une pince, désignée par la référence générale 1, se présentant sous forme d'une pièce à profil en "U", comportant un fond 2 et deux branches 3 et 4, convergent vers leurs extrémités 5 et 6 d'un angle . Cette pièce est réalisée en un matériau résistant à la corrosion et présentant d'excellentes qualités mécaniques, notamment une élasticité permettant d'écarter les branches 3 et 4, autour d'un obstacle, qui tendent alors à se refermer sur cet obstacle. If we refer first to Figure 1, the assembly piece according to 1 invention is a clamp, designated by the general reference 1, in the form of a piece with a "U" profile, comprising a bottom 2 and two branches 3 and 4, converge towards their ends 5 and 6 at an angle. This part is made of a material resistant to corrosion and having excellent mechanical qualities, in particular an elasticity making it possible to spread the arms 3 and 4 around an obstacle, which then tend to close on this obstacle.

L'extrémité 5 comporte sur sa face interne un crochet 7 orienté vers le fond de 1'U, tandis qu'à mi-hauteur, la face interne de la branche 4 présente une griffe 8, également orientée vers le fond de l'U. The end 5 has on its internal face a hook 7 oriented towards the bottom of the U, while at mid-height, the internal face of the branch 4 has a claw 8, also oriented towards the bottom of the U .

La pièce I est mise en oeuvre, selon l'invention, pour assembler deux éléments plats de la manière illustrée à la figure 2/
Sur cette figure, on a représenté en 10 le rebord plan de la partie supérieure d'une portière de voiture, et en 11 le rebord plan d'un déflecteur 12, un joint 13 assurant l'étanchéité de l'assemblage de ces deux rebords. Selon les techniques antérieures, l'ensemble 10-11-13 étant perforé à intervalles pour le passage de vis immobilisées par des écrous.The part I is used, according to the invention, to assemble two flat elements in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2 /
In this figure, there is shown at 10 the flat edge of the upper part of a car door, and at 11 the flat edge of a deflector 12, a seal 13 ensuring the tightness of the assembly of these two edges . According to prior techniques, the assembly 10-11-13 being perforated at intervals for the passage of screws immobilized by nuts.

Selon l'invention, on pince le même ensemble au moyen des pinces 1, le crochet 7 venant s'accrocher sur le champ 14 de la tôle 16 de la portière, et la griffe 8 venant se bloquer dans un alvéole 15 du rebord 11. De préférence cet alvéole est en forme de creux cylindrique, et la griffe 8 est de forme tron-conique pour faciliter cet accrochage. According to the invention, the same assembly is clamped by means of the clamps 1, the hook 7 coming to hang on the field 14 of the sheet metal 16 of the door, and the claw 8 coming to lock in a cell 15 of the rim 11. Preferably this cell is in the form of a cylindrical hollow, and the claw 8 is of conical shape to facilitate this attachment.

La mise en place des pinces 1 est pratiquement instantanée, puisqu'il suffit de les enfoncer sur l'ensemble 1011-13, jusqu'à enclenchement des griffes 7 et 8 qui assure l'immobilisation de la pince en place. The positioning of the clamps 1 is practically instantaneous, since it suffices to push them onto the assembly 1011-13, until the claws 7 and 8 engage, which immobilizes the clamp in place.

Bien entendu, bien que ce système ait été conçu pour le montage des accessoires automobiles, il est adaptable à l'assemblage de n'importe quel ensemble d'éléments plans sur leurs bords, dans n'importe quel domaine industriel.  Of course, although this system was designed for mounting automobile accessories, it is adaptable to the assembly of any set of planar elements on their edges, in any industrial field.
