Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation dune barre de toit pour véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a device for fixing a roof bar for a motor vehicle.
On connaît des dispositifs de fixation d'une barre de toit comportant deux supports symétriques par rapport au plan longitudinal médian de symétrie du véhicule dans lesquels sont engagées les extrémités de la barre, une patte de fixation étant montée en contact glissant à l-intérieur de chaque support.There are known devices for fixing a roof bar comprising two supports symmetrical with respect to the median longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle in which the ends of the bar are engaged, a fixing lug being mounted in sliding contact inside. each support.
Cette patte présente une partie inférieure, sortant du support de façon inesthétique et qui est munie d'un bord recourbé pour s'appuyer sur la caisse, sensiblement à I'opposé de appui du support sur le pavillon. Cette mise en appui est obtenue sous l-action du serrage une vis de fixation coopérant avec la barre et le support. Cette vis est accessible par une ouverture latérale du support.This tab has a lower part, leaving the support in an unsightly manner and which is provided with a curved edge to bear on the body, substantially opposite the support bearing on the roof. This support is obtained under the action of tightening a fixing screw cooperating with the bar and the support. This screw is accessible by a lateral opening of the support.
Un tel dispositif est décrit par exemple dans la demande de brevet français publiée sous le numéro 2635061 dont on voit en figure 1, l-aspect inesthétique de la ferrure ou patte de fixation 8 dont la partie inférieure sort du support 1. L'ou- verture latérale 6 au fond de laquelle se trouve la vis 7 nécessite, pour éviter que ne s'y accumulent les salissures, une plaque de fermeture amovible.Such a device is described for example in the French patent application published under the number 2635061 which we see in Figure 1, l-unsightly appearance of the fitting or bracket 8 whose lower part comes out of the support 1. The or lateral groove 6 at the bottom of which the screw 7 is located requires, to prevent the accumulation of dirt therein, a removable closure plate.
L'invention a pour but d'améliorer I'esthétique d un dispositif de fixation de ce type par I'adjonction d'une pièce ou élément d'habillage en plastique qui assure simultanément la fermeture de l-ouverture latérale.The object of the invention is to improve the aesthetics of a fastening device of this type by adding a plastic part or covering element which simultaneously closes the lateral opening.
A cet effet, Invention se caractérise en ce qu'on ajoute au dispositif de fixation un élément d'habillage muni dune semelle appui, interposée entre le support et le pavillon, et comportant un volet mobile qui, lorsqu'il est relevé, cache la partie de la patte de fixation sortant du support et permet d-ob- turer l-ouverture latérale. To this end, the invention is characterized in that one adds to the fixing device a covering element provided with a support sole, interposed between the support and the roof, and comprising a movable flap which, when raised, hides the part of the mounting lug leaving the support and enables the lateral opening to be closed.
De préférence, le volet est maintenu en position relevée par encastrement élastique sur les bords de l ouverture latérale.Preferably, the flap is held in the raised position by elastic embedding on the edges of the lateral opening.
A cet effet, les moyens d encastrement du volet mobile peuvent comporter des barrettes dont les extrémités présentent une contre-dépouille coopérant avec les parois internes de 1 ouver- ture latérale.To this end, the means for embedding the movable flap may include bars whose ends have an undercut cooperating with the internal walls of the lateral opening.
Selon une autre caractéristique importante, le volet et la semelle appui sont articulés l-un à l autre par une charnière formée par au moins une zone amincie et constituent une pièce unique.According to another important characteristic, the flap and the support sole are hinged to each other by a hinge formed by at least one thinned zone and constitute a single piece.
De préférence, la charnière est constituée par deux zones amincies entre lesquelles est disposée une fente permettant le passage de la patte de fixation.Preferably, the hinge is constituted by two thinned zones between which is disposed a slot allowing the passage of the fixing lug.
Selon une autre caractéristique, des pions de centrage, disposés sur la semelle à l-opposé de sa face d'appui sur le pavillon, s engagent dans des trous d'une platine d'appui du support.According to another characteristic, centering pins, arranged on the sole opposite its bearing face on the roof, engage in holes in a support plate of the support.
Enfin le volet mobile est avantagement de forme triangulaire.Finally the movable flap is advantageously triangular in shape.

La figure 1 montre l-aspect extérieur d-un support 1 monté en appui par l-intermédiaire d'une platine 2 sur le pavillon 3 d'un véhicule automobile. Une barre transversale 4, élément d'un porte-bagages ou galerie de toit amovible, s'engage à chacune de ses extrémités dans des parties cylindriques 5 d-un support 1
Chacun des support 1, disposés symétriquement de chaque côté du pavillon, est muni d-une ouverture 6 permettant dîntroduire une vis d assemblage 7. Le serrage de la vis 7, engagée dans un trou dune patte de fixation 8, et d'un écrou, non représenté, solidaire de la barre 4 assure le contact, puis la mise en tension de la patte 8, sur la caisse du véhicule.Figure 1 shows the external appearance of a support 1 mounted in support by means of a plate 2 on the roof 3 of a motor vehicle. A transverse bar 4, element of a luggage rack or removable roof rack, engages at each of its ends in cylindrical parts 5 of a support 1
Each of the supports 1, arranged symmetrically on each side of the roof, is provided with an opening 6 making it possible to introduce a connecting screw 7. The tightening of the screw 7, engaged in a hole with a fixing lug 8, and a nut , not shown, secured to the bar 4 ensures contact, then the tensioning of the tab 8, on the vehicle body.
La patte de fixation 8 s'insère en 9 dans la feuillure dune porte latérale 10 dont le cadre supérieur est seul visible sur les figures.The fixing lug 8 is inserted at 9 into the rebate of a side door 10, the upper frame of which is only visible in the figures.
La patte 8, pour venir prendre appui sur la caisse du véhicule à l-intérieur de la feuillure, sort du support 1 en passant devant la partie latérale de la platine 2. The tab 8, to come to bear on the vehicle body inside the rebate, leaves the support 1 passing in front of the lateral part of the plate 2.
Selon I'invention on prévoit, pour obturer I'ouverture 6 et masquer la partie apparente des pattes ou ferrures 8, une pièce unique d'habillage 11 donnant I'aspect visible à la figure 2.According to the invention, a single piece of covering 11 giving the appearance visible in FIG. 2 is provided to close the opening 6 and hide the visible part of the legs or fittings 8.
La pièce d'habillage 11 comporte (figure 5) une semelle 12 munie, à I'opposé de sa face d'appui sur le pavillon, de pions de centrage 13 et d'un bord relevé 14 disposé à sa périphérie.The covering part 11 comprises (FIG. 5) a sole 12 provided, opposite its bearing face on the roof, with centering pins 13 and a raised edge 14 disposed at its periphery.
Un volet rabattable 15, de forme sensiblement triangulaire, est lié de façon articulée par un de ses côtés à la base de la semelle 12. Au voisinage du sommet opposé à cette articulation sont disposés deux bossages 16 en forme de barrettes de section triangulaire dont les extrémités sont en contre-dépouille.A foldable flap 15, of substantially triangular shape, is linked in an articulated manner by one of its sides to the base of the sole 12. In the vicinity of the apex opposite this articulation are arranged two bosses 16 in the form of bars of triangular section whose ends are undercut.
Le volet 15 et la semelle 12 sont réalisés d'une seule pièce moulée en un matériau plastique et s'articulent I'un à l autre par deux zones étroites 17,18 présentant une section amincie formant charnière. Une fente 19, disposée entre ces deux zones, permet le passage d'une ferrure de fixation 8. The flap 15 and the sole 12 are made in one piece molded from a plastic material and are articulated to one another by two narrow zones 17, 18 having a thinned section forming a hinge. A slot 19, arranged between these two zones, allows the passage of a fixing fitting 8.
Chaque support 1 (figure 3) comporte un axe interne 20 susceptible de prendre appui sur deux bossages 21 de la platine 2. Each support 1 (FIG. 3) has an internal axis 20 capable of bearing on two bosses 21 of the plate 2.
Cette dernière (figure 4) est munie de trous 22 dans lesquels peuvent s'engage les pions de centrage 13 de la semelle 12 et d'un bord relevé 23 présentant une découpe 24 destinée au passage de la ferrure 8.The latter (FIG. 4) is provided with holes 22 in which the centering pins 13 of the sole 12 can engage and a raised edge 23 having a cutout 24 intended for the passage of the fitting 8.
La patte ou ferrure 8 (figure 6), dont la forme générale est celle dun trapèze, est munie sur sa grande base d'un bord recourbé 25. A opposé du bord 25, une partie étroite 26, prolongeant le trapèze, est percée d-un trou 27 destiné au passage de la vis 7.The tab or fitting 8 (FIG. 6), the general shape of which is that of a trapezoid, is provided on its large base with a curved edge 25. Opposite the edge 25, a narrow part 26, extending the trapezium, is pierced with a hole 27 intended for the passage of the screw 7.
Le montage du dispositif s'effectue de la façon qui va maintenant être décrite. The assembly of the device is carried out in the manner which will now be described.
On engage une extrémité de la barre 4 dans la portée cylindrique 5 d'un support 1 muni de sa patte de fixation 8 et d'une platine 2. On introduit dans le trou 27 de la patte 8 une vis 7 que I'on visse de quelques tours. On opère de la même façon avec un deuxième support 1 symétrique du premier à autre extrémité de la barre 4.One engages one end of the bar 4 in the cylindrical seat 5 of a support 1 provided with its fixing lug 8 and a plate 2. A screw 7 is introduced into the hole 27 of the lug 8 which is screwed of a few turns. We operate in the same way with a second support 1 symmetrical from the first to the other end of the bar 4.
On pose sur le pavillon l~ensemble ainsi constitué en intercalant sous chaque support 1 la semelle 12 d'une pièce d ha- billage 11. On règle si besoin l-écartement des supports 1 en agissant successivement sur les vis 7 de façon à pouvoir engager de chaque côté du pavillon le bord recourbé 25 dans la feuillure de porte. On bloque alors les vis 7.We place on the pavilion the assembly thus formed by inserting under each support 1 the sole 12 of a piece of clothing 11. We adjust the spacing of the supports 1 if necessary by acting successively on the screws 7 so as to be able to engage the curved edge 25 on each side of the roof in the door rebate. The screws 7 are then blocked.
Pendant ces opérations, chaque volet 15 est en position basse tel que représenté aux figures 5 et 7. On relève alors les volets 15 et on les encastre par pression dans les ouvertures 6 des supports. L'aspect final est celui montré en figure 2.During these operations, each flap 15 is in the low position as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7. The flaps 15 are then raised and they are pressed into the openings 6 of the supports. The final appearance is that shown in Figure 2.
On notera dans la partie supérieure du volet 15 un petit triangle 28 correspondant sensiblement au pourtour de I'ouverture 6 et sur lequel peut être apposé un emblème de marque.Note in the upper part of the shutter 15 a small triangle 28 corresponding substantially to the periphery of the opening 6 and on which can be affixed a brand emblem.
L'invention ne se limite pas à exemple décrit mais peut au contraire en couvrir toutes les variantes. C-est ainsi que les pattes de fixation pourraient, au lieu de prendre appui dans une feuillure de porte, prendre appui sur une gouttière latérale du pavillon, I'essentiel étant que les supports 1 soient munis dwune surface appui sur le pavillon permettant d'intercaler la semelle 12 de l-élément d'habillage 11. The invention is not limited to the example described but can, on the contrary, cover all its variants. This is how the fixing lugs could, instead of being supported in a door rebate, be supported on a side gutter of the roof, the essential being that the supports 1 are provided with a surface supported on the roof allowing insert the sole 12 of the covering element 11.
