Description

Perfectionnements aux sièges rabattables de véhicules
o
La présente invention est relative aux sièges de véhicules propres à être basculés vers l'avant à partir d'une position normale de conduite afin, par exemple, de libérer l'accès aux places arrière si le véhicule est du type dit trois portes".
Improvements to folding vehicle seats
o
The present invention relates to vehicle seats capable of being tilted forward from a normal driving position in order, for example, to free access to the rear seats if the vehicle is of the so-called three-door type.

Elle vise plus particulièrement, parmi ces sièges, ceux du type comprenant un soubassement solidarisable avec le plancher du véhicule, une ossature comportant un dossier et montée pivotante autour d'un axe transversal lié rigidement au soubassement de façon à pouvoir basculer vers l'avant, une assise comportant une portion arrière montée pivotante sur l'ossature autour d'un axe transversal, un dispositif de règlage de l'inclinaison de l'assise comportant d'une part deux crémaillères avant, parallèles, espacées transversalement et montées pivotantes autour d'un axe transversal lié rigidement au soubassement et d'autre part deux pignons coaxiaux d'axe transversal solidarisés entre eux par une traverse avant de l'assise et propres à coopérer avec les crémaillères avant et un organe de commande accessible à l'usager du siège lorsqu'il est assis sur le siège et prévu pour commander la rotation de la paire de pignons. It is more particularly aimed, among these seats, at those of the type comprising a base which can be secured to the vehicle floor, a frame comprising a backrest and pivotally mounted around a transverse axis rigidly connected to the base so as to be able to tilt forward, a seat comprising a rear portion pivotally mounted on the framework around a transverse axis, a device for adjusting the inclination of the seat comprising on the one hand two front racks, parallel, spaced transversely and pivotally mounted around a transverse axis rigidly connected to the base and on the other hand two coaxial pinions of transverse axis secured to each other by a front crossmember of the seat and adapted to cooperate with the front racks and a control member accessible to the seat user when seated on the seat and intended to control the rotation of the pair of gears.

Un siège de véhicule du type ci-dessus défini, est décrit dans la'demande de brevet FR 85 18 777 de la demanderesse, non encore publiée, et présente de nombreux avantages. A vehicle seat of the type defined above, is described in the patent application FR 85 18 777 of the applicant, not yet published, and has many advantages.

Néanmoins, ce type de siège n'a été envisagé qu'avec un système de règlage de l'assise comportant également un jeu de pignons et de crémaillères arrières permettant une modification conjointe des hauteurs avant et arrière de l'assise. Ceci nécessite une commande du système de règlage relativement complexe. However, this type of seat has only been envisaged with a seat adjustment system also comprising a set of pinions and rear racks allowing a joint modification of the front and rear heights of the seat. This requires control of the relatively complex control system.

Une telle solution peut donc apparaitre, dans certains cas, peu souhaitable. Such a solution may therefore appear, in certain cases, undesirable.

La demanderesse a donc, tout dernièrement, eu l'idée de réaliser l'articulation de l'assise sur l'ossature en liant de façon indérèglable l'axe de cette articulation à I'ossature.  The Applicant has therefore, very recently, had the idea of making the articulation of the seat on the framework by foolproofly connecting the axis of this articulation to the framework.

Ceci ne permet plus de règler simultanément les hauteurs avant et arrière de l'assise, seule l'inclinaison de ladite assise demeurant règlable, mais l'ensemble du dispositif gagne nettement en simplicité et en prix de revient. This no longer makes it possible to simultaneously adjust the front and rear heights of the seat, only the inclination of said seat remains adjustable, but the entire device clearly gains in simplicity and cost.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le siège de véhicule est caractérisé en ce que chaque pignon est constitué par un galet de révolution portant deux pions de révolution identiques propres respectivement à pénétrer jointivement dans des encoches appropriées des crémaillères avant, les axes de ces pions étant parallèles, symétriques l'un de l'autre par rapport à l'axe du galet et écartés entre eux de la même distance que la distance séparant deux encoches successives, des moyens élastiques pour solliciter constamment le galet vers la denture des crémaillères de façon à enfoncer les pions dans les encoches étant prévus. In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle seat is characterized in that each pinion is constituted by a roller of revolution carrying two identical pins of revolution suitable respectively for entering contiguously into appropriate notches of the front racks, the axes of these pins being parallel, symmetrical to each other with respect to the axis of the roller and spaced from each other by the same distance as the distance separating two successive notches, elastic means for constantly urging the roller towards the teeth of the racks so as to press the pins into the notches provided.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode particulier de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif. The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a particular embodiment given by way of non-limiting example.

La description se réfère aux dessins qui l'accompagnent dans lesquels
- la figure 1 montre schématiquement un siège établi selon l'invention en sa position normale de conduite, deux hauteurs différentes étant indiquées pour l'avant de l'assise respectivement en trait plein et en trait mixte,
- la figure 2 montre schématiquement le même siège en sa position basculée vers l'avant,
- la figure 3 est une vue latérale partielle d'un dispositif préféré de réglage en inclinaison de l'assise dans un siège selon l'invention.
The description refers to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 schematically shows a seat established according to the invention in its normal driving position, two different heights being indicated for the front of the seat respectively in solid line and in broken line,
FIG. 2 schematically shows the same seat in its tilted forward position,
- Figure 3 is a partial side view of a preferred device for adjusting the inclination of the seat in a seat according to the invention.

Le siège considéré comporte un soubassement 1 solidarisable avec le plancher 2 du véhicule, une ossature 3 montée pivotante autour d'un axe transversal
A lié au soubassement et une assise 4.
The seat considered comprises a base 1 which can be secured to the floor 2 of the vehicle, a frame 3 pivotally mounted about a transverse axis.
Linked to the base and a seat 4.

Le soubassement 1 comprend
- deux glissières 5 s'étendant longitudinalement, c'est-à-dire selon la direction avant-arrière du véhicule et permettant le règlage en position longitudinale du siège, et
- deux socles 6 montés sur ces glissières 5, socles constitués par des mes métalliques verticales s'détendant longitudinalement.
The base 1 includes
two slides 5 extending longitudinally, that is to say in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and allowing the seat to be adjusted in the longitudinal position, and
- Two bases 6 mounted on these slides 5, bases formed by vertical metallic meshes extending longitudinally.

L'ossature 3 comprend
- deux pieds inférieurs 18,
- un dossier 7 que l'on peut faire pivoter sur les pieds 18 autour d'un axe E de façon à l'incliner dans la position souhaitée par l'utilisateur du siège lorsqu'il est en position assise, et ce de façon connue en soi.
Frame 3 includes
- two lower legs 18,
- A backrest 7 which can be pivoted on the feet 18 around an axis E so as to tilt it in the position desired by the user of the seat when he is in the seated position, and in a known manner in itself.

L'ossature 3 comprend en outre, en partie basse, un crochet 8, sollicité élastiquement vers une position de repos et propre à coagir avec un pion 9 d'un socle 6 aux fins de fixation du dossier dans sa position arrière, qui est la position normale de conduite. Ce crochet 8 est actionnable d'une façon connue en soi à partir d'une manette 10 prévue dans la partie haute du dossier 7. The frame 3 further comprises, in the lower part, a hook 8, elastically urged towards a rest position and capable of interacting with a pin 9 of a base 6 for the purpose of fixing the backrest in its rear position, which is the normal driving position. This hook 8 can be actuated in a manner known per se from a lever 10 provided in the upper part of the backrest 7.

L'ossature 3 a une forme de U renversé dont les pieds ou extrémités inférieures 18 des deux bras sont coudés vers l'avant et sont montés pivotants autour de l'axe transversal A. Les extrémités des pieds de cette ossature sont terminées par deux becs il s'étendant vers l'avant et vers le haut dont la butée contre le fond des socles 6 ou contre les glissières 5 supportant ces socles constitue une butée de fin de course angulaire pour les basculements du dossier vers l'avant. The frame 3 has an inverted U shape whose feet or lower ends 18 of the two arms are bent forward and are pivotally mounted around the transverse axis A. The ends of the feet of this frame are terminated by two spouts it extending forward and upward, the abutment against the bottom of the bases 6 or against the slides 5 supporting these bases constitutes an angular end-of-travel stop for tilting the backrest forward.

Le dispositif de règlage en inclinaison de l'assise 4 comprend
- deux crémaillères avant parallèles 12 portées respectivement par deux biellettes parallèles 13 situées des deux côtés du siège, ces biellettes étant ellesmêmes montées pivotantes autour d'un axe transversal avant B lié aux socles 6 et étant entretoisées par une barre transversale 7, et
- deux pignons avant 14 solidarisés entre eux par une traversé 15 avant de l'assise 4 et propres à coopérer avec les deux crémaillères avant 12.
The seat tilt adjustment device 4 comprises
two parallel front racks 12 carried respectively by two parallel rods 13 located on both sides of the seat, these rods being themselves pivotally mounted about a front transverse axis B linked to the bases 6 and being braced by a transverse bar 7, and
- two front pinions 14 secured to each other by a cross 15 before the seat 4 and adapted to cooperate with the two front racks 12.

La portion arrière de l'assise 4 comporte une traverse arrière rigide 16 d'axe transversal D fixée rigidement de manière inamovible et indéréglable à l'ossature 3. The rear portion of the seat 4 comprises a rigid rear crossmember 16 of transverse axis D rigidly fixed in a non-removable and foolproof manner to the framework 3.

Enfin, l'assise 4 est complétée par un baquet 21 en forme de cuvette s'étendant entre la traverse avant 15 et la traverse arrière 16 et recouvert d'un coussin. Finally, the seat 4 is completed by a tub 21 in the form of a bowl extending between the front cross member 15 and the rear cross member 16 and covered with a cushion.

Selon une disposition préférée de l'invention, (Fig.3) chaque pignon est constitué par un galet de révolution 20, solidaire angulairement d'une poignée de commande rotative 22 accessible à la personne assise sur le siège. La denture de la crémaillère 12 est constituée par une suite d'encoches à bords parallèles écartées entre elles d'une distance 4 selon la direction générale
G de déplacement d'un pignon.
According to a preferred arrangement of the invention, (Fig.3) each pinion is constituted by a roller of revolution 20, angularly integral with a rotary control handle 22 accessible to the person seated on the seat. The teeth of rack 12 consist of a series of notches with parallel edges spaced apart by a distance 4 in the general direction
G of displacement of a pinion.

Deux pions de révolution identiques 19 propres à pénétrer jointivement dans les encoches 23 de la denture de crémaillère 12 sont solidaires du galet 20 et écartés entre eux de la même distance 8, les axes de ces pions étant parallèles et symétriques l'un de l'autre par rapport à celui 24 du galet. Des moyens élastiques (non représentés) pour solliciter constamment le galet vers la denture suivant une force de direction F perpendiculaire à G de façon à enfoncer les pions dans les encoches sont prévus. Des moyens pour lier l'axe du galet selon sa direction générale G de déplacement en autorisant ses débattements selon la direction F sont également prévus. Two identical pins of revolution 19 suitable for joining contiguously in the notches 23 of the rack teeth 12 are integral with the roller 20 and spaced apart by the same distance 8, the axes of these pins being parallel and symmetrical one of the other compared to that 24 of the roller. Elastic means (not shown) for constantly urging the roller towards the teeth according to a directional force F perpendicular to G so as to push the pins into the notches are provided. Means for connecting the axis of the roller in its general direction G of movement by authorizing its movements in the direction F are also provided.

On se réfèrera avantageusement au mécanisme plus précisément décrit dans le brevet FR 81 16 719 (publié sous le n 2 512 152) à titre d'exemple non limitatif de dispositif de galet du type décrit ci-dessus et utilisable sur un siège selon l'invention. Advantageously, reference will be made to the mechanism more precisely described in patent FR 81 16 719 (published under No. 2,512,152) by way of non-limiting example of a roller device of the type described above and usable on a seat according to the invention.

Le fonctionnement du siège selon l'invention est le suivant. The operation of the seat according to the invention is as follows.

En position normale de conduite, l'ossature 3 est verrouillée en sa position arrière par coopération du crochet 8 avec le pion 9 (Figure 1). In the normal driving position, the frame 3 is locked in its rear position by cooperation of the hook 8 with the pin 9 (Figure 1).

Il suffit alors de tourner la poignée 22 pour faire tourner les pignons le long des crémaillères avec lesquelles ils coopèrent et donc modifier la hauteur de ces pignons 14 par rapport au soubassement ainsi que l'inclinaison de l'assise. It then suffices to turn the handle 22 to rotate the pinions along the racks with which they cooperate and therefore modify the height of these pinions 14 relative to the base as well as the inclination of the seat.

A partir du lâcher de la poignée 22, la position réglée en hauteur de l'assise est conservée, soit du simple fait du maintien des pions dans les encoches- par la force de rappel élastique F combinée avec les forces de frottement, soit par un mécanisme d'auto-blocage de type classique. From the release of the handle 22, the position adjusted in height of the seat is retained, either simply by keeping the pins in the notches- by the elastic return force F combined with the friction forces, or by a classic type self-locking mechanism.

Si l'on désire ensuite rabattre le siège-vers l'avant, notamment en vue de libérer l'accès aux places arrière du véhicule, il suffit de dégager le crochet 8 du pion 9 en agissant sur la manette 10, puis de repousser le haut du dossier vers l'avant. If one then wishes to fold the seat forward, in particular in order to free access to the rear seats of the vehicle, it suffices to release the hook 8 from the pin 9 by acting on the lever 10, then to push the top of the back forward.

En suite de quoi, et quel que soit le mode de réalisation adopté, on dispose finalement d'un siège de véhicule dont la constitution et le fonctionnement résultent suffisamment de ce qui précède. As a result of which, and whatever the embodiment adopted, there is finally a vehicle seat whose constitution and operation result sufficiently from the above.

Comme il va de soi, et comme il en résulte d'ailleurs de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite hullement d ceux de ces modes de réalisation et d'application qui ont été plus spécialement envisagés elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes, notamment celles où pignons et crémaillère seraient de type classique, chaque pignon étant solidaire d'une bague cylindrique de révolution propre à rouler ou glisser conjointement contre le bord lisse d'.une lumière 17 contenant le pignon, ce bord étant décalé légèrement, selon la direction de l'axe de pignon et selon la direction transversale, par- rapport à la crémaillère associée, pour permettre les deux contacts lisses et dentés concernés. As is obvious, and as it follows from the above, the invention is not strictly limited to those of these embodiments and applications which have been more especially envisaged, on the contrary embraces all of them. variants, in particular those in which the pinions and rack are of the conventional type, each pinion being integral with a cylindrical ring of revolution suitable for rolling or sliding together against the smooth edge of a lumen 17 containing the pinion, this edge being offset slightly, in the direction of the pinion axis and in the transverse direction, relative to the associated rack, to allow the two smooth and toothed contacts concerned.

Le positionnement axial de chaque ensemble pignon-bague dans sa lumière est alors déterminé par emprisonnement axial du pignon entre d'une part une rondelle vissée en bout sur la traverse correspondante 15 et d'autre part le flanc de la biellette 13 adjacent au bord lisse de la lumière considérée.  The axial positioning of each pinion-ring assembly in its lumen is then determined by axial imprisonment of the pinion between on the one hand a washer screwed at the end on the corresponding cross member 15 and on the other hand the side of the rod 13 adjacent to the smooth edge of the light considered.
