Description

DISPOSITIF DE RANGEMENT D'UNE ROUE DE SECOURS
SOUS LE PLANCHER D'UN VEHICULE Invention se rapporte à un dispositif de rangement d'une roue de secours sous le plancher d'un véhicule automobile dans un panier monté articulé autour d'un axe horizontal.
SPARE WHEEL STORAGE DEVICE
UNDER THE FLOOR OF A VEHICLE Invention relates to a device for storing a spare wheel under the floor of a motor vehicle in a basket mounted articulated about a horizontal axis.

Dans les solutions connues par la publication
FR-A 1 551 853, le panier est articulé autour d'un axe transversal disposé sous le châssis du véhicule et son extrémité opposée à l'axe de pivotement comporte un étrier d'accrochage engagé dans un mécanisme.
In the solutions known by the publication
FR-A 1 551 853, the basket is articulated around a transverse axis disposed under the chassis of the vehicle and its end opposite to the pivot axis comprises a hooking stirrup engaged in a mechanism.

Ce mécanisme est accessible près d'un bord du véhicule, notamment près de son pare-chocs arrière, le panier étant décroché puis abaissé par pivotement autour de l'axe d'articulation lorsqu'on désire placer ou retirer la roue de secours.This mechanism is accessible near an edge of the vehicle, in particular near its rear bumper, the basket being unhooked and then lowered by pivoting around the articulation axis when it is desired to place or remove the spare wheel.

La publication US-A 2 063 092 décrit un logement de roue de secours montée sur un support coulissant obturable par un panneau de carrosserie pivotant.The publication US-A 2,063,092 describes a spare wheel housing mounted on a sliding support which can be closed off by a pivoting body panel.

Les rangements connus de roues de secours posent généralement un problème d'accessibilité, notamment lorsque ceux-ci sont localisés derrière un pare-chocs.Known spare tire storage generally poses an accessibility problem, especially when these are located behind a bumper.

Dans une telle configuration, il est difficile ou impossible d'accéder à la roue de secours lorsque le véhicule occupe une position de rangement dans une file de véhicules en stationnement.In such a configuration, it is difficult or impossible to access the spare wheel when the vehicle occupies a storage position in a queue of parked vehicles.

L'invention a pour objet de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de rangement latéral de la roue de secours derrière un panneau de carrosserie pivotant sans modifier l'implantation des ouvertures d'accès dans l'habitacle du véhicule.The object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a device for lateral storage of the spare wheel behind a pivoting body panel without modifying the location of the access openings in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Selon l'invention, le panneau pivotant est parallèle à une poutre longitudinale du châssis assemblée au côté latéral du plancher du véhicule.According to the invention, the pivoting panel is parallel to a longitudinal beam of the chassis assembled to the lateral side of the vehicle floor.

Le rangement ainsi réalisé permet un accès plus aisé à la roue de secours et un abaissement du panier porteur de la roue de secours, notamment lorsque l'une des roues du véhicule est dégonflée.The storage thus produced allows easier access to the spare wheel and a lowering of the basket carrying the spare wheel, especially when one of the vehicle wheels is deflated.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation du rangement de la roue de secours, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel: - La figure 1 est une représentation schématique du véhicule, - La figure 2 est une vue en coupe du dispositif selon la ligne
II-II de la figure 1, - La figure 3 est une variante de réalisation du dispositif
représenté à la figure 2, - La figure 4 est une vue en plan du dispositif représenté à la

En référence au dessin, le véhicule est représenté schématiquement par sa carrosserie 10 montée sur un châssis dont on a représenté un élément 11. L'élément il porte un plancher 12 dont le bord latéral 13 est accolé à une poutre longitudinale 22.With reference to the drawing, the vehicle is represented diagrammatically by its bodywork 10 mounted on a chassis of which an element 11 has been shown. The element carries a floor 12 whose lateral edge 13 is attached to a longitudinal beam 22.

Sous le plancher 12 est monté à articulation un panier 15. A cet effet, l'élément 11 porte un axe fixe 16 horizontal parallèle au plan longitudinal X du véhicule. La localisation de l'axe 16 permet le mouvement de basculement du pannier 15 et l'extraction de la roue de secours sans risque de buter sur la poutre longitudinale 22. Le panier 15 porte la roue de secours 20 et est masqué par un panneau pivotant 21 disposé de la sorte devant le panier à proximité de la poutre de structure 22 longitudinale assemblée au côté latéral du plancher 12.Under the floor 12 is hingedly mounted a basket 15. For this purpose, the element 11 carries a fixed axis 16 horizontal parallel to the longitudinal plane X of the vehicle. The location of the axis 16 allows the tilting movement of the basket 15 and the extraction of the spare wheel without risk of abutting on the longitudinal beam 22. The basket 15 carries the spare wheel 20 and is hidden by a pivoting panel 21 arranged in this way in front of the basket near the longitudinal structural beam 22 assembled to the lateral side of the floor 12.

La figure 2 montre que le panneau pivotant 21 est fermé latéralement par des fiasques parallèles 23 porteurs d'un pivot d'articulation 24 solidaire d'un palier rigidement fixé à la poutre 22. II y a cependant lieu de remarquer que le pivot d'articulation 24 peut être réalisé le long d'un bord interne du panneau 21 ainsi que cela est montré à la figure 5.FIG. 2 shows that the pivoting panel 21 is closed laterally by parallel flanges 23 carrying an articulation pivot 24 secured to a bearing rigidly fixed to the beam 22. It should however be noted that the pivot articulation 24 can be produced along an internal edge of the panel 21 as shown in FIG. 5.

A l'axe 24 peut être associé un ressort qui exerce sur le panneau pivotant une force de rappel dans le sens horaire pour mettre ledit panneau en butée sur le panier en position de repos du dispositif ainsi que représentée à la figure 3.A pin 24 may be associated with a spring which exerts on the pivoting panel a return force clockwise to place said panel in abutment on the basket in the device's rest position as shown in FIG. 3.

La figure 3 montre que le panneau pivotant 21 est lié au panier 15 par un axe 26 parallèle à l'axe d'articulation 16. L'axe 26 peut être également un axe à ressort qui assure le rappel du panneau dans la position de fermeture. Selon la figure 6, l'axe 26 est solidaire du panneau 21 et peut être extrait de ses paliers avant abaissement du panier 15 dans le but de permettre le démontage préalable du panneau 21.FIG. 3 shows that the pivoting panel 21 is linked to the basket 15 by an axis 26 parallel to the articulation axis 16. The axis 26 can also be a spring axis which ensures the return of the panel to the closed position . According to FIG. 6, the axis 26 is integral with the panel 21 and can be removed from its bearings before the basket 15 is lowered in order to allow the panel 21 to be dismantled beforehand.

Le dispositif de rangement porte avantageusement un mécanisme de verrouillage 27 connu en soi sans rapport direct avec l'invention sur lequel peut agir un organe de manoeuvre tel qu'une manivelle de cric.The storage device advantageously carries a locking mechanism 27 known per se with no direct relation to the invention on which an operating member such as a jack crank can act.

Le mécanisme 27 est constitué par un crochet 30 dans lequel est vissée une tige filetée 31 actionnable par la manivelle après ouverture et dégagement du panneau 21. Le crochet 30 est monté dans un support 32 qui pivote autour d'un axe 33 solidaire d'une chape 34 fixée à la poutre 22.The mechanism 27 consists of a hook 30 into which is screwed a threaded rod 31 actuable by the crank after opening and release of the panel 21. The hook 30 is mounted in a support 32 which pivots around an axis 33 secured to a fork 34 fixed to beam 22.

Le support 32 du crochet 30 peut être maintenu en position reIevée par une butée d'arrêt escamotable constituée par une lame flexible 35 portée par la chape 34 qui agit sur un bec de retenue découpé dans le support 32.The support 32 of the hook 30 can be held in the reIevé position by a retractable stop stop constituted by a flexible blade 35 carried by the yoke 34 which acts on a retaining spout cut from the support 32.

Lorsque le mécanisme 27 est manoeuvré, le panier 15 peut être déverrouillé. Le panneau pivotant 21 peut porter, au besoin, une serrure auxiliaire 40 de secours susceptible d'immobiliser ledit panneau avec la poutre 22 et empêcher le vol de la roue.When the mechanism 27 is operated, the basket 15 can be unlocked. The pivoting panel 21 can carry, if necessary, an auxiliary emergency lock 40 capable of immobilizing said panel with the beam 22 and preventing theft of the wheel.

La figure 5 montre un ensemble de verrous 41 montés sur la face interne du panneau 21 manoeuvrables à partir de la serrure 40.FIG. 5 shows a set of latches 41 mounted on the internal face of the panel 21 which can be operated from the lock 40.

Les verrous 41 sont constitués par exemple par un ensemble de deux pênes engageables dans des gaches 42 portées par la poutre 22. The latches 41 consist for example of a set of two bolts which can be engaged in strikes 42 carried by the beam 22.
