DISPOSITIF D'EScAM)(AGE DE PARE-BRISE
DI
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'escamotage de pare-brise, destiné notamment à équiper des véhicules du type cabriolet ou analogue.ESCAM DEVICE) (WINDSHIELD AGE
DI
The present invention relates to a retractable windshield device, intended in particular to equip vehicles of the convertible type or the like.
Les dispositifs généralement utilisés sur ce type de véhicules, comprennent, habituellement, des articulations i la base du pare-brise, ces articulations permettant de rabattre le pare-brise sur le capot. Les pare-brise utilisés étant généralement relativement plats, l'épaisseur du pare-brise, quand celui-ci est rabattu sur le capot, ne diminue pas sensiblement la visibilité du conducteur. The devices generally used on this type of vehicle usually include joints at the base of the windshield, these joints making it possible to fold the windshield onto the hood. Since the windshields used are generally relatively flat, the thickness of the windshield, when the latter is folded over the hood, does not significantly reduce the visibility of the driver.
Toutefois, lorsque le pare-brise et le capot sont de forme plus galbée, du fait -des galbes contradictoires du pare-brise rabattu sur le capot et de ce capot, la visibilité du conducteur est considérablement réduite. However, when the windshield and the hood are more curved in shape, due to the contradictory curves of the windshield folded over the hood and of this hood, the visibility of the driver is considerably reduced.
Le but de l'invention est de pallier cet inconvénient en proposant un pare-brise conformé pour épouser le profil du capot et un dispositif d'escamotage de ce pare-brise qui permette de translater ce pare-brise sur le capot de manière que le profil du pare-brise vienne épouser celui du capot lorsque le pare-brise est dans sa position escamotée. The object of the invention is to overcome this drawback by proposing a windshield shaped to match the profile of the hood and a device for retracting this windshield which allows this windshield to be translated onto the hood so that the profile of the windshield comes to match that of the hood when the windshield is in its retracted position.
Ainsi, le dispositif d'escamotage de pare-brise conforme i l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens d'articulation rotatifs du pare-brise permettant le rabattement de celui-ci vers l'arrière du véhicule dans une position sensiblement parallèle au capot de ce dernier, lesdits moyens d'articulation étant reliés librement en rotation à des moens de coulissement adaptés i coulisser dans des rainures de guidage fixées sur les ailes du véhicule, de manière à permettre une translation du pare-brise parallèlement au capot, vers l'avant du véhicule, en position escamotée. Thus, the retractable windshield device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises rotary articulation means of the windshield allowing the latter to be folded towards the rear of the vehicle in a position substantially parallel to the hood of the latter, said articulation means being freely connected in rotation to means of sliding adapted to slide in guide grooves fixed on the fenders of the vehicle, so as to allow translation of the windshield parallel to the hood, towards the front of the vehicle, in the retracted position.
Selon l'invention, la procédure d'escamotage du pare-brise est très simple puisqu'il suffit d'abord de le rabattre vers l'arrière du véhicule puis de le faire coulisser vers l'avant. According to the invention, the procedure for retracting the windshield is very simple since it is sufficient first to fold it towards the rear of the vehicle and then to make it slide forward.
Selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, le pare-brise est conformé de manière à épouser le profil du capot du véhicule. According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the windshield is shaped so as to match the profile of the hood of the vehicle.
Ainsi, la gêne occasionnée par le pare-brise en position escamotée, sur la visibilité du conducteur, est minimisée. Thus, the discomfort caused by the windshield in the retracted position, on the visibility of the driver, is minimized.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore ce la description qui va suivre, ainsi que des dessins anrexés donnés à titre non limitatif, dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective partielle d'un véhicule de type cabriolet, équipé d'un dispositif d'escamotage de pare-brise conforme à l'invention, le pare-brise étant montré en position normale d'utilisation,
- la figure 2 est une vue de côté suivant la flèche F du véhicule de la figure 1, le pare-brise en position rabattue étant dessiné en trait mixte,
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon le plan III-III de la figure 1,
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon le plan IV-IV de la figure 1, le pare-brise étant représenté en position normale d'utilisation,
- la figure 5 représente un détail de la figure 4, montrant le dispositif de verrouillage du pare-brise en position normale d'utilisation, et
- la figure 6 est une vue en coupe selon le plan VI-VI de la figure 1, le pare-brise étant représenté en position escamotée.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge further from the following description, as well as from the attached drawings given without limitation, in which
FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of a convertible type vehicle, equipped with a windshield retraction device according to the invention, the windshield being shown in the normal position of use,
FIG. 2 is a side view along arrow F of the vehicle in FIG. 1, the windscreen in the folded position being drawn in phantom,
FIG. 3 is a sectional view along the plane III-III of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the plane IV-IV of FIG. 1, the windshield being shown in the normal position of use,
FIG. 5 represents a detail of FIG. 4, showing the device for locking the windshield in the normal position of use, and
- Figure 6 is a sectional view along the plane VI-VI of Figure 1, the windshield being shown in the retracted position.
A la figure 1, le pare-brise 1 qui est représenté en position normale a'tilisation, comprend ur cadre la entourant une vitre 9. La base du cadre la est constituée d'une traverse 6 adjacente au capot 2a du véhicule 2. In FIG. 1, the windshield 1 which is shown in the normal use position, comprises the frame surrounding it a window 9. The base of the frame 1a consists of a cross member 6 adjacent to the hood 2a of the vehicle 2.
A la figure 2 on voit que le dispositif d'escamotage selon l'invention, comprend des moyens d'articulation rotatifs 5, 8 du pare-brise 1 qui permettent le rabattement de ce pare-brise 1 vers l'arrière du véhicule dans un plan ou une position sensiblement parallèle au capot 2a du véhicule 2. Lesdits moyens d'articulation 5, 8 comprennent (figure 3) deux pattes 8, solidaires du cadre la du pare-brise 1 et faisant saillie par rapport & ce cadre la en regard de glissières de guidage 4 fixées sur les ailes 3 du véhicule 2. In Figure 2 we see that the retraction device according to the invention comprises rotary articulation means 5, 8 of the windshield 1 which allow the folding of this windshield 1 towards the rear of the vehicle in a plane or a position substantially parallel to the hood 2a of the vehicle 2. Said articulation means 5, 8 comprise (FIG. 3) two tabs 8, integral with the frame 1a of the windshield 1 and projecting relative to this frame 1 opposite guide rails 4 fixed to the wings 3 of the vehicle 2.
Chaque patte 8 est sol-idaire en rotation d'un axe 5, lui-même solidaire en translation d'un galet de coulissement 21 adapté à coulisser dans la glissière de guidage 4 correspondante. Each tab 8 is solid-id in rotation with an axis 5, itself integral in translation with a sliding roller 21 adapted to slide in the corresponding guide slide 4.
De préférence, chaque glissière 4 est constituée d'un profilé en U, fixé dans la gouttière 10 correspondante de l'aile 3 du véhicule, pour que l'étanchéité reste assurée. Le profilé en U précité, dans lequel coulisse le galet 21, ouvre dans la gouttière 10, de manière i permettre le passage de l'axe 5 (figure 3). Preferably, each slide 4 consists of a U-shaped profile, fixed in the corresponding gutter 10 of the wing 3 of the vehicle, so that the seal remains ensured. The aforementioned U-profile, in which the roller 21 slides, opens in the gutter 10, so that i allow the passage of the axis 5 (Figure 3).
L'escamotage du pare-brise 1 est ainsi réalisé par un double mouvement de rotation selon la flèche il (figure 2) autour de l'axe 5, et de translation selon la flèche 12 le long des glissières 4 au moyen des pattes 8. The retraction of the windshield 1 is thus achieved by a double rotation movement along the arrow il (FIG. 2) around the axis 5, and of translation along the arrow 12 along the slides 4 by means of the tabs 8.
Le premier mouvement de rotation selon la flèche 11, permet d'escamoter l'axe d'articulation du ballet d'essuie-glace 7 monté sur la partie fixe de la carrosserie 13 par le soulèvement de la traverse inférieure 6. The first rotational movement according to arrow 11 makes it possible to retract the articulation axis of the wiper ballet 7 mounted on the fixed part of the bodywork 13 by lifting the lower cross member 6.
A la figure 6, qui représente le pare-brise 1 en position escamotée sur le capot 2a, on voit que chaque axe 5 vient en appui contre une butée 14 disposée c-ns la rainure 4 correspondante, i l'extrémité avant de celle ci, tandis que l'extrémité supérieure lb du pare-brise 1 est rendue solidaire de la carrosserie 13 du véhicule par un crochet escamotable 15, solidaire de la carrosserie 13 et entourant un tenon 15a solidaire du cadre la du parebrise 1. In Figure 6, which shows the windshield 1 in the retracted position on the cover 2a, we see that each axis 5 comes to bear against a stop 14 arranged c-ns the corresponding groove 4, i the front end thereof , while the upper end 1b of the windshield 1 is made integral with the body 13 of the vehicle by a retractable hook 15, integral with the body 13 and surrounding a stud 15a integral with the frame 1 of the windshield 1.
Le retour à la position normale d'utilisation du pare-brise est réalisé par le mouvement inverse du mouvement précédemment décrit. En position basculée mais non escamotée du pare-brise 1, chaque axe 5 vient en appui (figure 5) contre une butée 17 disposée à l'extrémité de la rainure correspondante 4, opposée à l'avant du véhicule 2 et est verrouillé dans cette position par un crochet escamotable 18 articulé sur un axe 19 solidaire de la carrosserie 13 du véhicule 2. The return to the normal position of use of the windshield is achieved by the reverse movement of the movement described above. In the tilted but not retracted position of the windshield 1, each axis 5 comes to bear (FIG. 5) against a stop 17 disposed at the end of the corresponding groove 4, opposite the front of the vehicle 2 and is locked in this position by a retractable hook 18 articulated on an axis 19 integral with the body 13 of the vehicle 2.
En position normale d'utilisation, l'étanchéité entre la base du pare-brise la et la face 20 adjacente de la carrosserie 13 peut être renforcée, le cas échéant, par un joint en caoutchouc (figure 4). In the normal position of use, the seal between the base of the windshield la and the adjacent face 20 of the body 13 can be reinforced, if necessary, by a rubber seal (FIG. 4).
Le verrouillage du pare-brise 1 dans sa position normale d'utilisation, est assuré par un ou plusieurs verrous 16 (voir figure 4) du type grenouillère ou analogue montés en position fixe sur la carrosserie 13 du véhicule. The windshield 1 is locked in its normal position of use, is provided by one or more latches 16 (see FIG. 4) of the latch type or the like mounted in a fixed position on the body 13 of the vehicle.
En position escamotée du pare-brise 1, les essuie-glace peuvent être ou non escamotés ou enlevés selon leur encombrement. In the retracted position of the windshield 1, the wipers may or may not be retracted or removed depending on their size.
Comme, selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, le profil du pare-brise 1 est adapté à épouser celui du capot 2a du véhicule 2, on comprend que le dispositif d'escamotage décrit permet d'amener le pare-brise 1 en contact étroit avec le capot 2a. Ainsi, lorsque le conducteur du véhicule 2 conduit avec le parebrise 1 en position escamotée, son champ de visibilité avant n'est pratiquement pas réduit. As, according to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the profile of the windshield 1 is adapted to match that of the hood 2a of the vehicle 2, it is understood that the retraction device described makes it possible to bring the windshield 1 into contact narrow with cover 2a. Thus, when the driver of the vehicle 2 drives with the windshield 1 in the retracted position, his front field of vision is practically not reduced.
Bien entend-, l'invention ntest pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples described and shown.
