Abstract
Description
Les véhicules automobiles sont en général munis d'une.Motor vehicles are generally equipped with a.
boite contenant un groupe d'instruments tels que tachymètre, indicateurs de niveau de carburant, de pression d'huile, de température d'eau et autres, qui fournissent au conducteur les- diverses indications utiles ou nécessaires à la conduite du véhicule. Ces instruments sont assemblés sur un panneau constituant la partie avant de la boîte et affleurent la paroi du tableau de bord dans lequel ladite boite est encastrée.box containing a group of instruments such as tachometer, fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature and other indicators, which provide the driver with various indications useful or necessary for driving the vehicle. These instruments are assembled on a panel constituting the front part of the box and are flush with the wall of the dashboard in which said box is embedded.
On a adopté jusqu'à présent différents modes de fixation des boites à la paroi ou au renfoncement du tableau de bord comportant des vis extérieures ou bien des brides de blocage disposées à l'intérieur de la paroi du tableau de bord.Up to now, different methods of fixing the boxes to the wall or to the recess of the dashboard have been adopted, comprising external screws or else clamping flanges disposed inside the wall of the dashboard.
On a également proposé pour assembler ladite boite au tableau de bord de faire usage d'un couple de lamelles élastiques associées à la boîte par l'une de leurs extrémités et libres de fléchir élastiquement à leur extrémité opposée, celle-ci venant en prise avec le bord correspondant d'une ouverture adéquate du tableau de bord.It has also been proposed to assemble said box to the dashboard to make use of a couple of elastic strips associated with the box by one of their ends and free to flex elastically at their opposite end, the latter engaging with the corresponding edge of an adequate opening of the dashboard.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'ancrage d'un boîtier d'instruments dans une ouverture d'un tableau de bord à l'aide de lamelles élastiques, qui ne nécessite aucun accès dans le tableau de bord, sinon ladite ouverturç. The present invention relates to a device for anchoring an instrument case in an opening of a dashboard using elastic strips, which does not require any access to the dashboard, otherwise said opening.
Ce dispositif est caractérisé en ce que les lamelles élastiques sont solidaires du tableau de bord, en étant prévues au moins une dans la partie haute de l'ouverture et au moins une dans la partie inférieure de cette ouverture, et en ce que leur extrémité libre comporte une partie en saillie propre à s'engager dans une ouverture d'un appendice rigide prévu à l'extérieur de la bote d'instruments.This device is characterized in that the elastic strips are integral with the dashboard, being provided at least one in the upper part of the opening and at least one in the lower part of this opening, and in that their free end has a projecting part suitable for engaging in an opening of a rigid appendage provided on the outside of the instrument case.
On a décrit ci-après,à titre -d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
La Figure 1 est une vue en perspective
schématique de l'arrière de la boîte
d'instruments.An embodiment of the device according to the invention has been described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which

Aux dessins, on voit le tableau de bord 1 d'un véhicule
automobile, qui comporte un renfoncement ou ouverture
2 destiné à recevoir une bote d'instruments 3.In the drawings, we see the dashboard 1 of a vehicle
automobile, which has a recess or opening
2 intended to receive a box of instruments 3.
La bote d'instruments 3 présente quatre appendices
extérieurs 4, deux dans la partie inférieure de la botte
et deux dans la partie supérieure; la face extérieure
4a de ces appendices est pentue et comporte une
ouverture 5.Instrument box 3 has four appendices
outer 4, two in the lower part of the boot
and two at the top; the outer face
4a of these appendices is sloping and has a
opening 5.
La partie du tableau de bord 1 entourant le renfoncement
2 est rigidifiée par un insert 6. Cet insert est prolongé par quatre lamelles élastiques 7 qui peuvent débattre dans des évidements 8 du tableau de bord débouchant dans le renfoncement 2 et font saillie à l'extérieur de ce dernier; deux des lamelles se trouvent du côté du bord supérieur du renfoncement 2 et les deux autres du côté de son bord inférieur. L'extrémité libre de chaque languette 7 est repliée en forme de C dont la partie arrondie 9 est tournée vers le renfoncement 2. Les languettes sont disposées de manière que leurs parties arrondies 9 puissent s'engager dans les ouvertures 5 de la boite d'instruments 3.The part of the dashboard 1 surrounding the recess
2 is stiffened by an insert 6. This insert is extended by four elastic strips 7 which can debate in recesses 8 of the dashboard opening into the recess 2 and protrude outside of the latter; two of the strips are on the side of the upper edge of the recess 2 and the other two on the side of its lower edge. The free end of each tongue 7 is folded back in the shape of a C, the rounded part 9 of which is turned towards the recess 2. The tongues are arranged so that their rounded parts 9 can engage in the openings 5 of the box. instruments 3.
Pour le montage, il suffit d'introduire la boite 3 dans le renfoncement 2 et -de la pousser dans le sens de la flèche F. Les extrémités des lamelles 7 viennent au contact de la face pentue 4a des appendices 4; les lamelles se déforment jusqu a ce que leurs parties 9 viennent se loger dans les ouvertures 5 des appendices dans lesquelles elles restent bloquées. La déformation des lamelles entraîne une réaction sur la boite 3 qui la fixe ainsi dans le renfoncement 2.For assembly, it suffices to introduce the box 3 into the recess 2 and to push it in the direction of the arrow F. The ends of the strips 7 come into contact with the sloping face 4a of the appendages 4; the strips are deformed until their parts 9 are received in the openings 5 of the appendages in which they remain blocked. The deformation of the lamellae causes a reaction on the box 3 which thus fixes it in the recess 2.
Le tableau de bord 1 présente, au droit de chacun des bords supérieur et inférieur du renfoncement 2, une feuillure 10 dans laquelle peut se loger un cache Il assurant une finition entre la boite 3 et le tableau de bord 1. Ce cache est fixé par des vis 12 vissées dans les lamelles 7; il comporte des évidements 13 dans lesquels peuvent se loger les têtes des vis 12. Lorsque la boite 3 a été mise en place dans le renfoncement 2, on insère le cache 11 dans les feuillures 10 et on les fixe à l'aide des vis 12. Cette opération a pour effet de diminuer la longueur de la partie des lamelles 5 pouvant fléchir, ce qui renforce la fixation.The dashboard 1 has, at the right of each of the upper and lower edges of the recess 2, a rebate 10 in which a cover can be housed. It provides a finish between the box 3 and the dashboard 1. This cover is fixed by screws 12 screwed into the strips 7; it has recesses 13 in which the heads of the screws 12 can be housed. When the box 3 has been placed in the recess 2, the cover 11 is inserted into the rebates 10 and they are fixed using the screws 12 This operation has the effect of reducing the length of the part of the blades 5 which can bend, which reinforces the fixing.
Pour retirer la boîte 3, il suffit de déposer le cache 11 en retirant les vis 12, de faire ensuite pression sur les lamelles à l'aide d'un outil introduit dans les trous 13, de façon à faire remonter les lamelles 7 dans les évidements 8 et à dégager des ouvertures 5 les parties arrondies 9 des lamelles 7, et à tirer la boite 3 dans le sens opposé à celui de la flèche
F.To remove the box 3, simply remove the cover 11 by removing the screws 12, then put pressure on the strips using a tool inserted in the holes 13, so as to raise the strips 7 in the recesses 8 and to clear the openings 5 the rounded parts 9 of the strips 7, and to pull the box 3 in the opposite direction to that of the arrow
F.
Le montage de la boîte 3 est rapide et ne nécessite par d'outillage particulier. Les vis de fixation 12 des caches de finition 11 ne sont pas dans le champ de vision de la boite d'instruments; leurs têtes sont en retrait dans les évidements 13 des caches 11 donc non apparentes. I1 ne nécessite pas de lamelles rapportées dont la fixation au tableau de bord est relativement compliquée.The assembly of the box 3 is quick and does not require any special tools. The fixing screws 12 of the finishing covers 11 are not in the field of vision of the instrument box; their heads are set back in the recesses 13 of the covers 11 therefore not visible. I1 does not require fitted sipes whose attachment to the dashboard is relatively complicated.
I1 va de soi que la présente invention ne doit pas être considérée comme limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais en couvre, au contraire, toutes les variantes. C'est ainsi que les lamelles 7 peuvent comporter, à leurs extrémités libres, un doigt rapporté 14 au lieu d'une partie arrondie en C (Figure 4). Dans ce cas, le démontage nécessite l'utilisation d'un outil (15) que l'on introduit à la place de la vis de fixation 12 (Figure 5). It goes without saying that the present invention should not be considered as limited to the embodiment described and shown, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof. Thus the strips 7 may have, at their free ends, an attached finger 14 instead of a rounded part in C (Figure 4). In this case, disassembly requires the use of a tool (15) which is introduced in place of the fixing screw 12 (Figure 5).
