Dans un dispositif connu de ce type le moyen d'articulation de l'habillage est formé par une goupille ou une rotule volumineuse. In a known device of this type the means of articulation of the covering is formed by a pin or a large ball joint.
Ce dispositif d'habillage connu présente des inconvénients majeurs. Il est peu esthétique, compliqué et coûteux, d'une part, et le montage et le démontage de l'organe de balayage est difficile. This known dressing device has major drawbacks. It is unattractive, complicated and expensive, on the one hand, and the assembly and disassembly of the scanning member is difficult.
L'invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients. The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
Pour atteindre ce but, l'habillage selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il est formé par un revêtement monopièce et que le moyen d'articulation précité est formé par une zone flexible du revêtement monopièce. To achieve this object, the covering according to the invention is characterized in that it is formed by a one-piece coating and that the aforementioned articulation means is formed by a flexible zone of the one-piece coating.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de ltinvention, le revêtement monopièce est réalisé en caoutchouc. According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the one-piece coating is made of rubber.
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le revêtement est réalisé en matière plastique et la zone flexible d'articulation est réalisée sous forme d'une zone de plus faible épaisseur. According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the coating is made of plastic and the flexible articulation zone is produced in the form of a zone of thinner thickness.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le revêtement présente une section transversale sensiblement en forme d'un U dont les branches forment des rebords de recouvrement latéral du bras d'essuie-glace et que le revêtement est susceptible d'être monté sur ledit bras par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de crochets solidaires du revêtement dans l'espace entre les rebords et adaptés pour venir en prise derrière le bord du bras d'essuie-glace, qui est adjacent à la glace du véhicule. According to yet another advantageous characteristic, the coating has a cross section substantially in the shape of a U, the branches of which form lateral overlapping edges of the wiper arm and that the coating is capable of being mounted on said arm by via hook elements integral with the covering in the space between the flanges and adapted to engage behind the edge of the wiper arm, which is adjacent to the vehicle window.

Le dispositif d'habillage selon l'invention est destiné à un bras d'essuie-glace du type connu en soi, d'une véhicule automobile, qui comprend, selon la figure 1, un capot de moyeu 1 par lequel le bras est monté sur le dispositif d'entraînement adapté pour lui impartir son mouvement de pivotement, un boltier du ressort de rappel 2 articulé au capot de moyeu 1 par un axe 3 et se prolongeant par un pont 4 à l'extrémité duquel est articulé en 5 un organe de balayage 6. The covering device according to the invention is intended for a wiper arm of the type known per se, of a motor vehicle, which comprises, according to FIG. 1, a hub cover 1 by which the arm is mounted on the drive device adapted to impart its pivoting movement to it, a return spring bolt 2 articulated to the hub cover 1 by an axis 3 and extended by a bridge 4 at the end of which a member is articulated at 5 scan 6.
Le dispositif d'habillage selon l'invention est réalisé sous forme d'un revêtement monopièce 7 qui recouvre l'ensemble du bras avec ses articulations, comme il ressort clairement des figures 2 et 3. Ce revêtement constitue un cache de protection et d'habillage de la face externe 9 du bras d'essuie-glace, qui est parallèle au plan de la glace du véhicule, par sa partie sensiblement plane médiane 10 et présente des rebords latéraux 11 qui recouvrent au moins partiellement, selon des considérations fonctionnelles de protection et esthétique, les côtés latéraux du bras. Comme l'illustre la figure 8, le revêtement 7 présente une section transversale, perpendiculairement à son axe longitudinal, sensiblement en forme d'un U. D'autre part, on constate que le rebord 11 s'étend sur toute la périphérie du revêtement (figures 3 et 5). The covering device according to the invention is produced in the form of a one-piece covering 7 which covers the whole of the arm with its articulations, as is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3. This covering constitutes a protective and covering of the external face 9 of the wiper arm, which is parallel to the plane of the window of the vehicle, by its substantially planar central portion 10 and has lateral flanges 11 which at least partially overlap, according to functional protection considerations and aesthetic, the lateral sides of the arm. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the covering 7 has a cross section, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, substantially in the shape of a U. On the other hand, it can be seen that the flange 11 extends over the entire periphery of the covering (Figures 3 and 5).
Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le revêtement est réalisé en un matériau tel que de la matière plastique et comporte, au niveau de l'axe d'articulation 3 du bras d'essuie-glace (figure 7) une zone 13 de plus faible épaisseur rendant le revêtement souple au niveau de l'articulation. Le rebord 11 est interrompue en 14 à la hauteur de la zone souple, comme cela ressort des figures 5 et 9. Grâce à ces mesures, le revêtement 7 selon l'invention permet de relever sans effort le bras d'essuie-glace de la glace du véhicule, ce qui est parfaitement illutré par la figure 9. In a first embodiment, the coating is made of a material such as plastic and comprises, at the level of the articulation axis 3 of the wiper arm (FIG. 7), a zone 13 of lower thickness making the coating flexible at the joint. The flange 11 is interrupted at 14 at the height of the flexible zone, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 9. Thanks to these measures, the coating 7 according to the invention makes it possible to effortlessly raise the wiper arm of the vehicle glass, which is perfectly illustrated in Figure 9.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation le revêtement 7 est réalisé en caoutchouc et le rebord 11 comporte une échancrure 15 au niveau de l'axe d'articulation 3 du bras d'essuie-glace (figure 10). In another embodiment, the covering 7 is made of rubber and the flange 11 has a notch 15 at the level of the hinge pin 3 of the wiper arm (FIG. 10).
Les figures 7 et 8 montrent comment le revêtement 7 s'accroche sur le bras d'essuie-glace. Le revêtement comprend à cette fin sur la face interne de la partie médiane 10 des nervures indiquées en 16 qui l'écarte de la face supérieure 9 du bras (figure 1) et des éléments d'accrochage au bras, réalisés sous forme de languettes 17 se terminant par des éléments de crochets 18 comme celle qui est représentée à la figure 7 et vient en prise à l'arrière du capot de moyeu 1, et sous forme de griffes 19 comme celle qui s'accrochent à la figure 8 sur le pont 4. Figures 7 and 8 show how the cover 7 is hooked on the wiper arm. The coating comprises for this purpose on the internal face of the middle part 10 of the ribs indicated at 16 which separates it from the upper face 9 of the arm (FIG. 1) and hooking elements to the arm, produced in the form of tongues 17 ending with hook elements 18 like that which is represented in FIG. 7 and engages at the rear of the hub cover 1, and in the form of claws 19 like that which hang on FIG. 8 on the bridge 4.
