Abstract

The end fixings accept the ends of the cross-bars (1), and are held to the roof (2) of the vehicle by straps (9) with broad lower ends which have horizontal "keyhole" slots fitting over studs (11) in the side recesses (2a) of the roof, ideally with the narrow slot of the "keyhole" facing forwards. The straps are tightened by screws (3), which fit into the ends of the cross-bars, and the end fixings carry shoes (5) on pivots (6) with padding (7,8) to protect the roof.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de fixation de barres de toit pour véhicule automobile ayant un toit sans gouttière, et plus particulièrement des dispositifs du type comportant deux embases ou crosses s'appuyant par leur base sur le dessus du toit et recevant dans leur partie supérieure les extrémités d'une barre de toit, deux pattes de fixation associées aux crosses et dont la partie inférieure dépasse l'embase des crosses et comporte un pli ou aile formant crochet qui prend appui sous le bord du toit, et deux vis de fixation qui, se vissant dans deux taraudages exécutés dans les extrémités des barres de toit et traversant la partie supérieure des crosses, et des pattes de fixation déplacent ces dernières par rapport aux crosses.The present invention relates to roof bar fixing devices for a motor vehicle having a roof without a gutter, and more particularly to devices of the type comprising two bases or brackets supported by their base on the top of the roof and receiving in their upper part. the ends of a roof bar, two fixing lugs associated with the sticks and the lower part of which exceeds the base of the sticks and has a fold or wing forming a hook which is supported under the edge of the roof, and two fixing screws which , screwing in two threads made in the ends of the roof bars and crossing the upper part of the brackets, and fixing lugs move the latter relative to the brackets.

Lorsqu'on serre les vis de fixation aux deux extrémités d'une barre, les deux pattes de fixation se rapprochent l'une de l'autre enserrant entre leurs extrémités en forme de crochets les bords du toit qui se trouvent ainsi pincés entre l'embase des crosses et les crochets.When the fixing screws are tightened at the two ends of a bar, the two fixing lugs move towards each other enclosing between their hook-shaped ends the edges of the roof which are thus pinched between the base of hooks and hooks.

Mais si les vis ont été mal serrées ou se desserrent pendant le roulage, les crochets des pattes de fixation se dégagent du toit et la pression dynamique de l'air soulève l'ensemble fixations-barres qui risque de tomber du toit et de provoquer un grave accident.However, if the screws have been loosely tightened or become loose during travel, the hooks on the fixing lugs will release from the roof and the dynamic air pressure will raise the bar-fixing assembly, which could fall from the roof and cause a serious accident.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation pour barre de toit, qui remédie au défaut de ces types de fixation connus.The subject of the present invention is a fixing device for a roof bar, which remedies the defect in these known types of fixing.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que la patte de fixation comporte dans la petite aile de sa partie formant crochet au moins une rainure en forme de boutonnière pouvant se positionner sur un pion fixé sur le bord du toit.The fixing device according to the invention is characterized in that the fixing tab comprises in the small wing of its hook part at least one groove in the form of a buttonhole which can be positioned on a pin fixed on the edge of the roof.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation du dispositif de fixation selon l'invention, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels

Au dessin, on voit des barres tubulaires 1 destinées à être fixées sur le toit 2 d'un véhicule automobile, ce toit ne comportant pas de gouttière.In the drawing, we see tubular bars 1 intended to be fixed on the roof 2 of a motor vehicle, this roof not comprising a gutter.

Chaque barre 1 est fixée au toit 2, par chacune de ses extrémités. Chaque extrémité de la barre est emmanchée dans la partie supérieure d'une crosse 3 et lui est fixée par une vis 4 disposée dans l'axe de la barre 1 et engagée dans un écrou fixé à l'intérieur de cette barre. Une chape 5 est articulée en 6 sur l'extrémité inférieure de la crosse 3 et porte un patin 7 muni d'une semelle 8 en appui sur le toit.Each bar 1 is fixed to the roof 2, by each of its ends. Each end of the bar is fitted into the upper part of a stick 3 and is fixed to it by a screw 4 arranged in the axis of the bar 1 and engaged in a nut fixed inside this bar. A yoke 5 is articulated at 6 on the lower end of the butt 3 and carries a shoe 7 provided with a sole 8 bearing on the roof.

Une patte de fixation 9 passe sous la crosse 3 et est appliquée par son aile en forme de crochet sur le rebord 2a du toit 2, au niveau de l'encadrement de porte.A fixing lug 9 passes under the butt 3 and is applied by its hook-shaped wing to the edge 2a of the roof 2, at the door frame.

Lorsqu'on met en place les barres et qu'on serre les vis 4, le serrage engendre deux forces parallèles dirigées l'une vers l'autre qui provoquent un rapprochement des pattes de fixation 9 qui se déplacent par rapport aux crosses 3, l'application des semelles 8 sur le toit 2 et l'ancrage des crochets des pattes de fixation 9 sur les rebords 2a du toit.When the bars are put in place and the screws 4 are tightened, the tightening generates two parallel forces directed towards each other which cause the fixing lugs 9 which move relative to the sticks 3, l to move together. application of soles 8 on the roof 2 and anchoring the hooks of the fixing lugs 9 on the edges 2a of the roof.

Chaque patte de fixation 9 est munie, à son extrémité inférieure, dans la petite aile du crochet de deux boutonnières 10 pouvant coopérer avec des pions 11 situés sur le rebord 2a du toit 2. Chaque boutonnière est formée par une rainure longitudinale 10a terminée, à l'une de ses extrémités, par un perçage semi-circulaire 10b dont le diamètre est égal à la largeur de la rainure 10a et, à son autre extrémité, par un perçage semi-circulaire 10c de diamètre plus grand. Les deux boutonnières sont disposées de façon que leurs rainures 10a soient alignées et écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance égale à l'entretoise des pions 11.Chacun de ces derniers comprend un corps cylindrique lla dont le diamètre est légèrement inférieur à celui du perçage 10b et une tête plate cylindrique 11b dont le diamètre est supérieur à celui du perçage 10b mais légèrement inférieur au diamètre du perçage de grand diamètre 10c.Each fixing lug 9 is provided, at its lower end, in the small wing of the hook with two buttonholes 10 which can cooperate with pins 11 located on the edge 2a of the roof 2. Each buttonhole is formed by a completed longitudinal groove 10a, at one of its ends, by a semi-circular bore 10b whose diameter is equal to the width of the groove 10a and, at its other end, by a semi-circular bore 10c of larger diameter. The two buttonholes are arranged so that their grooves 10a are aligned and spaced from each other by a distance equal to the spacer of the pins 11.Each of the latter comprises a cylindrical body lla whose diameter is slightly smaller to that of the bore 10b and a cylindrical flat head 11b whose diameter is greater than that of the bore 10b but slightly less than the diameter of the large diameter bore 10c.

Au montage, avant de serrer les vis 4, on introduit les pions 11 dans les boutonnières 10 et on déplace longitudinalement. les pattes 9 de façon que les perçages 10b de ces boutonnières viennent en butée contre les pions 11; on serre alors les vis 4.During assembly, before tightening the screws 4, the pins 11 are introduced into the buttonholes 10 and they are moved longitudinally. the tabs 9 so that the holes 10b of these buttonholes abut against the pins 11; the screws 4 are then tightened.

Si les vis 4 sont mal serrées ou se desservent sous l'action des vibrations pendant le roulage, les crochets des pattes de fixation 9 restent accrochés sur les bords du toit 2 par les pions 11 mais ils battent contre le toit en émettant un signal sonore qui attire l'attention du conducteur; celui-ci peut ainsi s'arrêter et resserrer les vis 4 avant que les barres 1 ne se séparent du toit.If the screws 4 are loosely tightened or serve under the action of vibrations during rolling, the hooks of the fixing lugs 9 remain hooked on the edges of the roof 2 by the pins 11 but they beat against the roof by emitting an audible signal which attracts the driver's attention; it can thus stop and tighten the screws 4 before the bars 1 separate from the roof.

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.  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.
