Abstract

The police vehicle includes an individual front seat (15) pivoting (16) mechanism which is unlocked (20) by an electromagnet (19), operated by a passenger control button, which simultaneously unlocks (11,12,13) and opens the door automatically. When the button is not operated, the door function and seat position are normal. The seat backs have detachable protection and a cavity corresponding to the position of the police officers revolver holster.The door (6) may be operated by pneumatic cylinder (2), its rod (3) end (4) acting on the door edge (5). The cylinder is supplied with compressed gas from a distributor, with electromagnet controlled piston valve, enabling gas to escape when the door is closed.

Description

Lorsque des policiers arrivent en véhicule automobile en un lieu où ils ont à intervenir en faisant usage de leurs armes, il est extremement important qu'ils puissent le faire en un temps très court et dans la meilleure position possible puisque leur sécurité en dépend ainsi que l'efficacité de leur intervention. When the police arrive by motor vehicle in a place where they have to intervene by using their weapons, it is extremely important that they can do it in a very short time and in the best possible position since their safety depends on it as well as the effectiveness of their intervention.

Actuellement les véhicules de police sont, hormis les systèmes radio, des voitures de modèles courants qui, dans la situation évoquée ci-dessus, se révèlent peu pratiques, en particulier pour les policiers assis à l'avant. Currently, police vehicles are, apart from radio systems, cars of current models which, in the situation mentioned above, prove to be impractical, in particular for the police officers seated in the front.

Ceux-ci doivent en effet, avant de pouvoir utiliser leurs armes, réaliser presque simultanément plusieurs opérations, à savoir
a) Ouvrir la portière,
b) Pivoter d'un quart de tour pour se placer en bonne position de tir,
c) Dégainer.Before they can use their weapons, they must almost simultaneously carry out several operations, namely
a) Open the door,
b) Rotate a quarter of a turn to get into the correct shooting position,
c) Draw.

La présente invention se rapporte à un équipement de la voiture grâce auquel, au moyen d'une simple impulsion électrique, chacun des passagers avant déclanche simultanément l'ouverture automatique de sa portière et le déblocage de son siège pivotant qui lui laisse les mains libres pour dégainer. The present invention relates to equipment of the car thanks to which, by means of a simple electric pulse, each of the front passengers simultaneously triggers the automatic opening of its door and the unlocking of its swivel seat which leaves it hands free for draw.

Pour compléter l'équipement de sécurité dans le cas où, après pivotement de son siège, un policier se trouverait exposé à des tirs venant de l'arrière, le dossier de ce siège est garni d'une protection amovible qui peut, avantageusement, être constituée par un gilet pare-balles place à cheval sur le dossier. To complete the safety equipment in the event that, after pivoting his seat, a police officer is exposed to fire from the rear, the backrest of this seat is fitted with removable protection which can, advantageously, be consisting of a bulletproof vest placed astride the backrest.

Enfin ce dossier comporte une alvéole dirigée vers l'arrière à la place qui correspond à celle de l'arme dans la poche révolver du policier ce qui donne à ce dernier toute facilité pour se saisir de cette arme, dans la situation évoquée ci-dessus. Finally, this file includes a cell directed towards the rear in the place which corresponds to that of the weapon in the policeman's revolver pocket, which gives the latter every facility to seize this weapon, in the situation mentioned above. .

L'enclanchement du dispositif s'effectue au troyen d'un bouton poussoir temporisé qui, simultanément met sous tension trois électro aimants qui commandent respectivement
a) le dégagement du pêne de la serrure pour permettre l'ouverture de la portière,
b) la mise en position d'ouverture du distributeur pneumatique qui commande le verin d'ouverture de la portière.The device is switched on using a timed push button which simultaneously powers up three electromagnets which respectively control
a) the release of the bolt from the lock to allow the door to be opened,
b) placing the pneumatic distributor in the open position which controls the door opening actuator.

c) le déverrouillage du siège pivotant. c) unlocking the swivel seat.

Ce processus n'intervenant qu'en cas d'urgence exceptionnelle, l'en- semble est aménagé de manière à ce que le dispositif n'interfère en rien sur le fonctionnement normal des portières et la position normale des siège ges dans les périodes de non utilisation de ce dispositif. This process only intervenes in exceptional emergencies, the assembly is arranged so that the device does not interfere in any way with the normal functioning of the doors and the normal position of the seats in periods of not using this device.

Pour mieux comprendre l'invention, on pourra utilement se référer aux figures ci-annexees données à titre d'exemples non limitatifs. To better understand the invention, reference may usefully be made to the appended figures given by way of nonlimiting examples.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent en vue de dessus et sur un seul ensemble les positions respectivement avant et après l'enclanchement du processus. Figures 1 and 2 show in top view and on a single assembly the positions respectively before and after the engagement of the process.

La figure 3 montre shématiquement la commande du verin pneumatique par un distributeur à pistons accouplé avec un électro-aimant. Figure 3 shows schematically the control of the pneumatic cylinder by a piston distributor coupled with an electromagnet.

La figure 4 montre le détail du dispositif de verrouillage d'un siège
Dans la partie latérale avant (1) de l'habitacle de la voiture et à proximité du plancher est placé un verin pneumatique (2) dont la tige (3) traverse la carrosserie de manière à ce que son extrémité (4) se trouve en contact du chant (5) de la portière (6).Figure 4 shows the detail of the seat locking device
In the front side part (1) of the passenger compartment of the car and near the floor is placed a pneumatic cylinder (2) whose rod (3) passes through the bodywork so that its end (4) is in edge contact (5) of the door (6).

Ls distributeur de commande (7) du type à pistons, comporte une tige (8) attelée à celle (9) d'un électro-aimant (10). La translation de la tige (9) ouvre l'alimentation du verin (2) en gaz comprimé ce qui, le pêne (11) de la serrure ayant été retracté de son logement (12). par l'action de l'electro-aimant (13), provoque l'ouverture de la portière (6), à la suite de quoi, l'impulsion électrique ayant été interrompue, le pêne retrouve sa liberté de mouvement et le distributeur revient à sa position initiale. On peut alors fermer la portière, le gaz contenu dans le verin s'échappant par l'orifice (14). The piston type control distributor (7) comprises a rod (8) coupled to that (9) of an electromagnet (10). The translation of the rod (9) opens the supply of the actuator (2) with compressed gas which, the bolt (11) of the lock having been retracted from its housing (12). by the action of the electromagnet (13), causes the door (6) to open, as a result of which, the electrical impulse having been interrupted, the bolt regains its freedom of movement and the distributor returns to its original position. The door can then be closed, the gas contained in the cylinder escaping through the orifice (14).

Le siège (15) est du type qui peut pivoter autour de son axe (16) en entant maintenu dans un plan horizontal. Sur la face externe (17) de son fond (18) est fixé un électro-aimant (19) dont la tige verticale (20) se place juste dans un logement correspondant (21) aménagé sur la partie supérieure d'un tassot (22) lui même fixé sur le plancher. The seat (15) is of the type which can pivot about its axis (16) while being kept in a horizontal plane. On the external face (17) of its bottom (18) is fixed an electromagnet (19) whose vertical rod (20) is placed just in a corresponding housing (21) arranged on the upper part of a tassot (22 ) itself fixed on the floor.

Le coulissement de la tige (20) de bas en haut, en la dégageant du logement (21) permet le libre pivotement du siège (15) autour de son axe (16) jusqu'à ce qu'un plot (23) fixé sur (17) vienne buter sur un plot (24) fixé sur le plancher ce qui correspond à un pivotement d'un quart de tour. The sliding of the rod (20) from bottom to top, releasing it from the housing (21) allows the seat (15) to pivot freely around its axis (16) until a stud (23) fixed on (17) abuts on a stud (24) fixed on the floor which corresponds to a pivoting of a quarter turn.

Le plot (23) porte un contact (25) qui, lorsqu'il se rétablit au moment où le siège est ramené manuellement à sa position d'origine, provoque le coulissement de (19) de haut en bas pour verrouiller à nouveau ce siège. The stud (23) carries a contact (25) which, when it recovers when the seat is returned manually to its original position, causes the sliding of (19) up and down to lock the seat again .
