Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanical and thermal surface protection intended for temporary or extended application on elements whose surface finish quality it is desired to preserve. It consists of a panel (1) provided with hook fasteners (2) and (3) connected to the said panel by straps (4) allowing adjustment or adaptation of the protection to the shapes of the element to be protected. An adhesive fastening (5) makes it possible to hold the protection in place when the dimensions or the shapes of the elements to be protected do not allow hook attachment. In the case of application on the bodywork of a motor vehicle during parking, the shape of the hooks (3) allows the protection to be made tamperproof once it has been fitted and the door has been closed. This protection according to the invention is intended for protecting the bodywork of a parked motor vehicle, but may find applications in industrial or domestic fields.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de protection mécanique et thermique, adaptable et amovible, destiné à l'application temporaire ou prolongée sur les parties extérieures des véhicules automobiles en stationnement. The present invention relates to a mechanical and thermal protection system, adaptable and removable, intended for temporary or prolonged application on the exterior parts of parked motor vehicles.

On connait les désagréments des éraflures ou de chocs locaux occasionnés sur des véhicules automobiles dont on veut conserver leur qualité de surface d'origine. We know the inconvenience of scratches or local shocks caused on motor vehicles which we want to keep their original surface quality.

La protection des parois latérales des véhicules, portières et ailes principalement, n'est que trés localement assurée par les baguettes fixées sur celle-ci. The protection of the side walls of vehicles, doors and wings mainly, is only very locally ensured by the rods fixed on it.

Le système de protection qui fait l'objet de la présente invention permet d'assurer la couverture adaptée aux dimensions de l'élément ou de la surface à protéger. Cette protection doit pouvoir être assurée à volonté. Elle est donc préférentiellement amovible pour permettre l'usage normal du véhicule lorsque celui-ci est en mouvement. The protection system which is the subject of the present invention makes it possible to provide the cover adapted to the dimensions of the element or of the surface to be protected. This protection must be able to be provided at will. It is therefore preferably removable to allow normal use of the vehicle when it is in motion.

selon les figures I et la, le système de protection consiste en un panneau repère (1) pourvu d'éléments de fixation repères (2) (3) et (5). according to Figures I and 1a, the protection system consists of a reference panel (1) provided with reference fixing elements (2) (3) and (5).

Les fixations repère (2) sont des crochets tels que définis aux figures 2a et 2b. Ces fixations sont rendues solidaires du panneau (1) par collage, soudage ou couture (6). La forme de ces crochets permet leur insertion dans les joints de vitrage. The fixings mark (2) are hooks as defined in Figures 2a and 2b. These fixings are made integral with the panel (1) by gluing, welding or sewing (6). The shape of these hooks allows their insertion into the glazing joints.

Selon la figure 2b, une variante de l'élément de fixation (2) comporte une sangle de liaison (4b) entre le-dit crochet (2) et le panneau (1 > permettant l'adaptation de la protection et son accrochage soit sur la vitre, soit sur l'encadrement de la portière. According to FIG. 2b, a variant of the fixing element (2) comprises a connecting strap (4b) between the said hook (2) and the panel (1> allowing the adaptation of the protection and its attachment either on the window, either on the door frame.

Les fixations repère (3) sont également des crochets mais de forme différente telle que représentée à la figure 3. Ces crochets (3) sont rendus solidaires du panneau (I) par des sangles repère (4), de longueur réglable ou élastique, permettant l'adaptation de la protection et son plaquage par tension de ces dites sangles sur les éléments à protéger dont les dimensions peuvent être différentes. The reference fixings (3) are also hooks but of different shape as shown in FIG. 3. These hooks (3) are made integral with the panel (I) by reference straps (4), of adjustable or elastic length, allowing the adaptation of the protection and its plating by tension of these said straps on the elements to be protected, the dimensions of which may be different.

La forme des dits crochets (3) est telle qu'elle n'autorise pas l'enlèvement de la protection une fois celle-ci posée et la portière du véhicule fermée. The shape of said hooks (3) is such that it does not allow the protection to be removed once it has been placed and the vehicle door closed.

Tel qu'il est représenté également à la figure 1, le panneau (1) est pourvu d'un élément de fixation par adhérence repère (5), qui est préférentiellement une plaquette magnétique ou une ventouse et dont le role est de retenir localement les parties extrèmes du panneau, trop éloignées des crochets de fixation, et que la raideur propre du panneau ne permet pas le maintien de celle-ci en position plaquée. As also shown in FIG. 1, the panel (1) is provided with a fixing element by reference adhesion (5), which is preferably a magnetic plate or a suction cup and whose role is to locally retain the extreme parts of the panel, too far from the fixing hooks, and that the panel's own stiffness does not allow it to be held in the pressed position.

Le panneau de protection (1) est préférentiellement en matériau insensible aux agents atmosphériques, de structure alvéolaire ou cellulaire pour en augmenter l'épaisseur sans en augmente- la masse et assurer une bonne résistance aux impacts ponctuels. Outre sa souplesse et sa légèreté les caractéristiques du panneau (1) sont sa resistance à l'écrasement et à la déchirure ainsi que sa bonne isolation thermique. The protective panel (1) is preferably made of a material insensitive to atmospheric agents, of cellular or cellular structure to increase its thickness without increasing its mass and ensuring good resistance to punctual impacts. In addition to its flexibility and lightness, the characteristics of the panel (1) are its resistance to crushing and tearing as well as its good thermal insulation.

Tout autre principe de matériau, carton gaufré, textile ou matériau de synthèse ou composite, peut-être utilisé dans la structure du panneau de protection. Any other principle of material, embossed cardboard, textile or synthetic or composite material, can be used in the structure of the protective panel.

Les crochets ainsi que les sangles sont préférentiellement en matériau de synthèse afin de ne pas induire eus-memes les méfaits de griffure ou écaillage local dont on veut se protéger. The hooks as well as the straps are preferably made of synthetic material in order not to induce eus themselves the damage of scratching or local chipping which one wants to protect.

Ce système de protection est préfétlentiellemerlt appliqué aux véhicules automobiles mais peut trés bien trouver d'autres applications dans
les domaines industriel ou domestique pour rendre les manoeuvres et manutentions aisées, tout en permettant la reutilisation de la protection.This protection system is preferably applied to motor vehicles but may very well find other applications in
industrial or domestic areas to make maneuvers and handling easy, while allowing the reuse of protection.

De par la nature du matériau du panneau de protection t17 qui lui confère des qualités d'isolation thermique et aux rayonnements, la protection qui fait l'objet de la présente invention peut trouver des applications dans le domaine des véhicules en stationnement, notamment sur les aires situes en plein soleil. Due to the nature of the protective panel material t17 which gives it thermal and radiation insulation qualities, the protection which is the subject of the present invention can find applications in the field of parked vehicles, in particular on areas located in full sun.

Par extension en appliquant les mêmes principes d'accrochages cités ci-dessus, l'on isolera par l'extérieur toute partie du véhicule - portière, toiture, capot - sans que li'on puisse enlever la dite protection de façon inopinée. By extension, by applying the same fastening principles mentioned above, any part of the vehicle - door, roof, hood - will be isolated from the outside without being able to remove said protection unexpectedly.
