Abstract

The invention relates to a device for shading a window (1) in particular in a motor vehicle, comprising a flexible sheet (5) fitted at one of its ends with a pull bar (8) and fixed at its other end to the roller (6) of a winding mechanism which is mounted so as to rotate about its axis in a casing (7), this casing including means for attaching the device to a fixed structure (2) located close to the window (1). The attachment means consist in articulating the casing onto the structure (2), thereby enabling the said casing to pivot about a pin (9) which is perpendicular to the axis of the winding roller (6) and substantially orthogonal to the surface of the window (1) to be shaded.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif escamotable d'occultation d'une baie, notamment de véhicule automobile, du genre pare-soleil. The present invention relates to a retractable device for concealing a bay, in particular for a motor vehicle, of the sun visor type.

Les dispositifs existants à manoeuvre manuelle comportent, au moins dans le domaine des véhicules automobiles, une toile que l'on déploie, à partir d'un enrouleur fixé au-dessus ou au-dessous de la baie, devant la baie. Existing devices with manual operation comprise, at least in the field of motor vehicles, a fabric which is deployed, from a reel fixed above or below the opening, in front of the opening.

L'enroulement est assuré par l'enrouleur entraîné par un ressort de rappel. Le maintien de la toile déployée est obtenu par l'accrochage de l'extrémité libre de cette toile, équipée d'une barre de tirage à la partie du châssis de la baie, ou de la structure voisine, au moyen de crochets pouvant recevoir cette barre et la retenir à l'encontre de l'effort de rappel du rouleau.The winding is ensured by the reel driven by a return spring. Maintaining the deployed fabric is obtained by hooking the free end of this fabric, equipped with a pull bar to the part of the frame of the bay, or the neighboring structure, by means of hooks which can receive this bar and hold it against the restoring force of the roller.

Ces dispositifs sont mal adaptés à l'occultation acceptable et esthétique des fenêtres dont le contour n'est pas rectangulaire. En effet dans la mesure où le bord de la baie qui reçoit la barre de tirage n'est pas parallèle à celui le long duquel est fixé le boîtier de l'enrouleur, il est nécessaire de trouver des accomodements - étendre la toile au-delà du bord de la baie et accrocher la barre de tirage loin de ce bord de manière qu'elle ne le coupe pas ; cette solution est rarement possible car la structure de la baie est, au niveau de ce bord, relativement mince (c'est le cas notamment des vitres de porte), - couper l'extrémité libre de la toile en biais, dans la direction générale du bord devant l'accueillir ; dans ce cas la barre de tirage ne recouvre pas correctement l'ouver- ture de passage de la toile qui s'étend généralement parallèlement à l'autre bord et qui constitue un logement de rangement de la barre lorsque la toile est enroulée. These devices are ill-suited to the acceptable and aesthetic concealment of windows whose contour is not rectangular. Indeed, since the edge of the opening that receives the pull bar is not parallel to that along which the reel housing is fixed, it is necessary to find accommodation - extend the canvas beyond from the edge of the bay and hang the pull bar away from this edge so that it does not cut it; this solution is rarely possible because the structure of the opening is, at this edge, relatively thin (this is particularly the case for door windows), - cut the free end of the fabric at an angle, in the general direction from the edge before it; in this case the draw bar does not correctly cover the opening for passage of the fabric which generally extends parallel to the other edge and which constitutes a storage housing for the bar when the fabric is rolled up.

- accepter un jour entre la barre de tirage et le bord de la baie lorsque la toile est déployée, qui peut être important et inesthétique.- accept one day between the draw bar and the edge of the bay when the canvas is deployed, which can be significant and unsightly.

L'invention entend proposer une autre solution à ce problème grâce à des moyens qui permettent de modifier l'inclinaison de la barre de tirage pour qu'elle puisse être parallèle à l'un des bords de la baie lorsque la toile est enroulée et à l'autre bord lorsque la toile est déployée. The invention intends to propose another solution to this problem by means which make it possible to modify the inclination of the draw bar so that it can be parallel to one of the edges of the opening when the fabric is rolled up and the other edge when the canvas is deployed.

Ainsi le dispositif d'occultation d'une baie, qui comprend de manière connue une feuille souple équipée à l'une de ses extrémités d'une barre de tirage et fixée à son autre extrémité au cylindre d'un mécanisme enrouleur, monté rotatif autour de son axe dans un boitier, ce boîtier comportant des moyens de fixation du dispositif à une structure fixe située au voisinage de la baie, est tel, selon l'invention, que les moyens de fixation comprennent une articulation du boîtier sur la structure permettant un pivotement de ce dernier autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe du cylindre enrouleur et sensiblement orthogonal à la surface de la baie à occulter. Thus the device for occulting a bay, which comprises in a known manner a flexible sheet fitted at one of its ends with a draw bar and fixed at its other end to the cylinder of a winding mechanism, mounted rotatably around of its axis in a box, this box comprising means for fixing the device to a fixed structure located in the vicinity of the bay, is such, according to the invention, that the fixing means comprise an articulation of the box on the structure allowing a pivoting of the latter about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the winding cylinder and substantially orthogonal to the surface of the opening to be obscured.

Comme en général le boîtier est logé derrière un caisson de garniture, ce dernier comporte une fente de passage de la toile qui est souvent parallèle à l'un des bords de la baie. Cette fente est de largeur légèrement inférieure à celle de la barre de tirage si bien que celleci constitue la fermeture de la fente. Pour que cette fermeture s'opère correctement avec le montage selon l'invention, le boîtier est soumis à un couple de rappel engendré par un organe approprié tendant à le placer en butée dans une position parallèle à la fente de support de la barre de tirage. As in general the housing is housed behind a trim box, the latter has a slit for the passage of the fabric which is often parallel to one of the edges of the opening. This slot is slightly smaller in width than that of the draw bar so that this constitutes the closure of the slot. In order for this closure to operate correctly with the assembly according to the invention, the housing is subjected to a restoring torque generated by an appropriate member tending to place it in abutment in a position parallel to the support slot of the draw bar. .

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description d'un exemple de réalisation donné ci-après en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe du dispositif selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 est un schéma suivant F de la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description of an exemplary embodiment given below with reference to the appended drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of the device according to the invention,
- Figure 2 is a diagram along F of Figure 1.

Ces figures sont la représentation schématique d'une baie vitrée, par exemple une vitre 1 de portière 2 de véhicule automobile. Cette baie est délimitée par deux bords haut 3 et bas 4 qui ne sont pas parallèles, comme celà est généralement le cas dans les véhicules actuels. These figures are the schematic representation of a bay window, for example a window 1 of the door 2 of a motor vehicle. This bay is delimited by two top 3 and bottom 4 edges which are not parallel, as is generally the case in current vehicles.

Cette baie est équipée intérieurement d'un dispositif d'occultation (pare-soleil) connu en lui-même et comportant une toile 5 souple dont une extrémité est solidaire d'un cylindre enrouleur 6 enfermé dans un boîtier 7 fixé à la structure fixe de la baie, au voisinage de son bord 4, et dont l'extrémité libre comporte une barre de tirage 8 permettant, avec une languette de préhension, de dérouler manuellement la toile pour la tendre devant la baie, et de l'accrocher à la structure fixe au voisinage du bord supérieur de la baie. This bay is internally equipped with a concealment device (sun visor) known in itself and comprising a flexible fabric 5, one end of which is secured to a winding cylinder 6 enclosed in a housing 7 fixed to the fixed structure of the bay, in the vicinity of its edge 4, and the free end of which comprises a pulling bar 8 allowing, with a gripping tab, to manually unwind the fabric to stretch it in front of the bay, and to hang it on the structure fixed near the upper edge of the bay.

Conformément à l'invention, le boîtier 7 est articulé sur la structure fixe autour d'un axe 9 qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe du cylindre enrouleur et sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de la vitre 1. According to the invention, the housing 7 is articulated on the fixed structure around an axis 9 which is perpendicular to the axis of the take-up cylinder and substantially perpendicular to the plane of the window 1.

La figure 2 fait apparaître l'intérêt de cette fixation articulée qui permet de prendre en compte l'absence de parallèlisme entre les bords 3 et 4. Cette fixation permet en effet une inclinaison de l'ensemble grâce à laquelle on peut placer la barre de tirage 8 parallèle au bord supérieur 3 de la baie, alors que dans son état hors service, la barre de tirage est sensiblement parallèle au bord 4 inférieur de la baie. En effet, le boîtier 7 de l'enrouleur est le plus souvent placé derrière un caisson 10 de garniture de la portière. La toile 5 passe par une fente 11 de cette garniture qui est recouverte par la barre de tirage 8 lorsque le store ou le pare-soleil est enroulé. Cette fente est en général parallèle au bord inférieur de la fenêtre, et dans ce cas, le boîtier est dans une position 7' représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 2. Cette position peut être fixée par une butée fixe 12 sur laquelle le boîtier est rappelé sous l'effet d'un couple de rappel exercé par un ressort 13. FIG. 2 shows the advantage of this articulated fixing which makes it possible to take into account the absence of parallelism between the edges 3 and 4. This fixing indeed allows an inclination of the assembly thanks to which the bar can be placed. draft 8 parallel to the upper edge 3 of the opening, while in its out-of-service state, the drawing bar is substantially parallel to the lower edge 4 of the opening. Indeed, the housing 7 of the reel is most often placed behind a box 10 for the door trim. The fabric 5 passes through a slot 11 of this lining which is covered by the draw bar 8 when the blind or the sun visor is rolled up. This slot is generally parallel to the lower edge of the window, and in this case, the housing is in a position 7 'shown in phantom in Figure 2. This position can be fixed by a fixed stop 12 on which the housing is recalled under the effect of a return torque exerted by a spring 13.

La position de l'axe 9 d'articulation n'est pas impérativement au centre du boîtier 7. On peut, si l'espace disponible l'exige, disposer cet axe plutôt au voisinage d'une extrémité de ce boîtier. De même le couple de rappel n'est pas indispensable et sera fonction de l'effort de tension de la toile par le cylindre enrouleur.  The position of the hinge pin 9 is not necessarily at the center of the housing 7. It is possible, if the available space requires it, to have this axis rather in the vicinity of one end of this housing. Similarly, the return torque is not essential and will depend on the tensioning force of the fabric by the winding cylinder.
