DISPOSITIF DE BLOCAGE D'UNE TRAVERSE
COULISSANTE DE GALERIE"
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de blocage d'une traverse de galerie, ladite traverse étant munie de deux pieds coulissant respectivement dans deux rails latéraux fixés sur le pavillon d'un véhicule.DEVICE FOR LOCKING A CROSSING
SLIDING GALLERY "
The present invention relates to a device for blocking a gallery cross member, said cross member being provided with two feet sliding respectively in two lateral rails fixed to the roof of a vehicle.
Ce type de traverse, généralement appelée coulissante, peut être réglée en position sur le pavillon du véhicule considéré en faisant coulisser les pieds dont est équipée la traverse le long des rails latéraux. L'immobilisation de la traverse en position est habituellement obtenue en actionnant des dispositifs de blocage constitués par des moyens de verrouillage individuels disposés dans chaque pied de traverse. Pour une galerie à deux traverses coulissantes, l'utilisateur doit donc effectuer au total quatre manoeuvres en faisant le tour du véhicule. This type of cross, generally called sliding, can be adjusted in position on the roof of the vehicle in question by sliding the feet with which the cross is fitted along the side rails. The immobilization of the cross member in position is usually obtained by actuating locking devices constituted by individual locking means arranged in each cross leg. For a gallery with two sliding crosspieces, the user must therefore perform a total of four maneuvers around the vehicle.
Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est-de proposer un dispositif de blocage d'une traverse de galerie, conforme au préambule, qui permettrait de limiter le nombre de manoeuvres à réaliser pour bloquer la traverse, tout en évitant à l'utilisateur de contourner le véhicule. Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a device for blocking a gallery cross member, in accordance with the preamble, which would make it possible to limit the number of operations to be carried out to block the cross member, while avoiding the user to bypass the vehicle.
La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que ledit dispositif de blocage comporte des moyens de blocage simultané desdits pieds dans le rail latéral respectif. The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that said blocking device comprises means for simultaneously blocking said feet in the respective side rail.
Ainsi, par une seule manoeuvre, l'utilisateur peut bloquer totalement la traverse en position sans avoir à faire le tour du véhicule. Thus, by a single maneuver, the user can completely lock the crosspiece in position without having to go around the vehicle.
La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut être réalisée. The description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be implemented.
Les figures la et lb sont des vues schématiques de côté d'un dispositif de blocage conforme à l'invention, en position respectivement débloquée et bloquée. Figures la and lb are schematic side views of a locking device according to the invention, in the respectively unlocked and blocked position.
Les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en perspective respectivement d'un premier et d'un deuxième pieds d'une traverse selon une variante dé réalisation du dispositif de blocage des figures la et lb. Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views respectively of a first and second feet of a cross member according to an alternative embodiment of the locking device of Figures la and lb.
Les figures la et lb montrent schématiquement en vue de côté un dispositif de blocage d'une traverse 100 de galerie destinée à être montée sur le pavillon 10 d'un véhicule. Cette traverse 100 est munie de deux pieds 200,300 coulissant respectivement dans deux rails 20,30 latéraux fixés sur le pavillon 10 du véhicule
Comme on peut le voir sur les figures la et lb, ledit dispositif de blocage comporte des moyens de blocage simultané desdits pieds 200,300 dans le rail latéral 20,30 respectif. Ces moyens de blocage simultané comprennent: - dans chaque pied 200,300, un patin 210,310 engagé dans le rail 20,30 respectif, - un levier 400 de commande du type à grenouillère, mobile autour d'un axe D d'articulation, - un premier 220 et deuxième 320 organes de liaison reliant respectivement les patins 210,310 au levier 400 de commande, de manière que, dans la position bloquée montrée sur la figure lb, le levier de commande amène chaque patin 210,310 en appui forcé contre le rail respectif 20,30. A l'inverse, dans la position débloquée de la figure la, le levier 400 de commande libère chaque patin 210,310 dans le rail respectif 20,30, permettant ainsi le mouvement de coulissement de la traverse 100.Figures la and lb schematically show a side view of a device for locking a cross member 100 of the gallery intended to be mounted on the roof 10 of a vehicle. This cross 100 is provided with two feet 200,300 sliding respectively in two lateral rails 20,30 fixed on the roof 10 of the vehicle
As can be seen in Figures la and lb, said blocking device comprises means for simultaneously blocking said feet 200,300 in the respective side rail 20,30. These simultaneous locking means comprise: - in each leg 200,300, a shoe 210,310 engaged in the respective rail 20.30, - a lever 400 of the latch type control lever, movable around an axis D of articulation, - a first 220 and second 320 connecting members respectively connecting the pads 210, 310 to the control lever 400, so that, in the locked position shown in FIG. 1b, the control lever brings each pad 210, 310 into forced abutment against the respective rail 20.30 . Conversely, in the unlocked position of FIG. 1a, the control lever 400 releases each shoe 210, 310 in the respective rail 20, 30, thus allowing the sliding movement of the cross-member 100.
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures la et lb, les organes 220,320 de liaison sont des câbles métalliques, tandis que dans la variante des figures 2 et 3, un 320' desdits organes de liaison est une lamelle métallique fixée à la grenouillère du levier 400 de commande par un étrier 321 de renvoi, l'autre organe de liaison étant un autre étrier 220' de renvoi reliant directement le patin 210 à la grenouillère du levier 400 de commande. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, the connecting members 220, 320 are metallic cables, while in the variant of FIGS. 2 and 3, a 320 ′ of said connecting members is a metallic strip fixed to the latch of the lever. 400 control by a stirrup 321 return, the other connecting member being another stirrup 220 'return directly connecting the shoe 210 to the latch of the lever 400 control.
On notera également sur les figures 2 et 3 la présence de deux épaulements 322,323 sur lesquels s'appuie la lamelle métallique 320' au niveau des pieds 200,300 dans la partie courbée de la traverse. It will also be noted in FIGS. 2 and 3 the presence of two shoulders 322, 323 on which the metal strip 320 ′ rests at the level of the feet 200,300 in the curved part of the crosspiece.
Lorsque le levier 400 de commande est en position bloquée, l'adhérence de la traverse 100 est augmentée du fait que chaque pied 200,300 de traverse est muni d'une semelle anti-dérapante 230,330, en élastomère par exemple, destinée à venir en contact avec le rail respectif 20,30. Bien entendu, lesdites semelles anti-dérapantes pourraient venir en contact directement sur le pavillon 10 du véhicule. When the control lever 400 is in the locked position, the adhesion of the cross member 100 is increased by the fact that each leg 200,300 of the cross member is provided with a non-slip sole 230,330, made of elastomer for example, intended to come into contact with the respective rail 20.30. Of course, said non-slip soles could come into contact directly on the roof 10 of the vehicle.
La longueur du levier 400 de commande ainsi que la position d'amarrage des étriers 321,220' de renvoi, par rapport à l'axe D d'articulation sont telles que, d'une part, une faible force exercée par l'utilisateur sur le levier permet d'engendrer au niveau de la lamelle métallique 320', ou des câbles métalliques, et des patins 210,310 un effort suffisamment important pour assurer l'adhérence de l'ensemble, et, d'autre part, cette même position des étriers de renvoi assure la stabilité du levier 400 de commande en position bloquée. The length of the control lever 400 as well as the mooring position of the return stirrups 321, 220 ′ with respect to the axis of articulation are such that, on the one hand, a low force exerted by the user on the lever makes it possible to generate, at the level of the metal strip 320 ′, or of the metal cables, and of the pads 210, 310 a sufficiently large force to ensure the adhesion of the assembly, and, on the other hand, this same position of the stirrups of return ensures the stability of the control lever 400 in the locked position.
En effet, la direction des efforts ainsi transmis par les liaisons mécaniques agissent, après passage d'un point neutre, dans le sens de blocage de la commande.Indeed, the direction of the forces thus transmitted by the mechanical connections act, after passing from a neutral point, in the direction of blocking of the control.
Ainsi que le montrent les figures 2 et 3, lesdits moyens de blocage simultané comprennent également des moyens de réglage de la force d'appui des patins 210,310 contre les rails latéraux 20,30, moyens constitués par des crans 240,340 de réglage aménagés sur lesdits patins, et destinés à recevoir des moyens d'accrochage des organes de liaison aux patins, à savoir, d'une part, l'étrier 220' de renvoi accroché aux crans 240 du patin 210, et, d'autre part, un étrier 322, à l'aute extrémité de la lamelle métallique 320', accroché aux crans 340 du patin 310. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, said simultaneous locking means also comprise means for adjusting the bearing force of the pads 210,310 against the side rails 20,30, means constituted by adjustment notches 240,340 arranged on said pads , and intended to receive means for attaching the connecting members to the pads, namely, on the one hand, the stirrup 220 'of return attached to the notches 240 of the pad 210, and, on the other hand, a stirrup 322 , at the other end of the metal strip 320 ′, attached to the notches 340 of the shoe 310.
Conformément aux figures 2 et 3, il est prévu que chaque pied 200,300 de la traverse 100 est muni d'un ressort 250,350 exerçant sur le patin 210,310 respectif une force de dégagement dudit patin de la position bloquée. Les ressorts, à lame dans l'exemple de réalisation montré aux figures 2 et 3, maintiennent les patins 210,310 en position basse en supprimant les risques de blocage intempestif de la traverse 100 durant son déplacement. De même, les ressorts 250,350 permettent d'assurer une tension minimum de la lamelle métallique 320 en position débloquée. In accordance with Figures 2 and 3, it is expected that each foot 200,300 of the cross member 100 is provided with a spring 250,350 exerting on the respective pad 210,310 a force for disengaging said pad from the locked position. The leaf springs in the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3 maintain the pads 210,310 in the low position by eliminating the risk of untimely blocking of the cross member 100 during its movement. Likewise, the springs 250, 350 make it possible to ensure a minimum tension of the metal strip 320 in the unlocked position.
On observe sur les figures 2 et 3 que, afin de faciliter le déplacement de la traverse 100 en réduisant les risques d'arc-boutement, chaque pied 200,300 de la traverse présente deux galets 261,262 et 361,362 de roulement destinés à coopérer avec une rainure 21,31 du rail respectif 20,30. It can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 that, in order to facilitate the movement of the cross-member 100 by reducing the risks of bracing, each leg 200,300 of the cross-member has two rollers 261,262 and 361,362 for rolling intended to cooperate with a groove 21 , 31 of the respective rail 20.30.
Enfin, il apparat sur les figures 2 et 3 que les moyens de blocage simultané des pieds 200,300 sont accessibles par des caches démontables 270,370 articulés ou non, venant habiller les pieds. Ces caches assurent un meilleur aérodynamisme et diminuent d'autant les risques de bruit dus à la circulation de l'air lors de vitesses élévées du véhicule. En particulier, le levier 400 de commande est intégré, en position bloquée, à l'un 270 desdits caches démontables. Finally, it appears in FIGS. 2 and 3 that the means for simultaneously locking the feet 200,300 are accessible by removable covers 270,370, articulated or not, coming to dress the feet. These covers provide better aerodynamics and therefore reduce the risk of noise due to the circulation of air at high vehicle speeds. In particular, the control lever 400 is integrated, in the locked position, into one 270 of said removable covers.
