Abstract

The invention relates to a device for covering a windscreen wiper arm more particularly although not exclusively intended for the rear screen of a motor vehicle of the family saloon type. The covering device 1 consists of a cover entirely covering the assembly formed by the windscreen wiper arm 2, including its hub 6a and its wiper blade 7. This element is thus completely concealed. According to the invention, the cover 1 and the boot lid 4 are arranged so that when the windscreen wiper stops along the top part of the boot lid 4 adjacent to the screen 5, the visible outer faces of the cover 1 and of the boot lid 4 are situated substantially in the extension of one another.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'habillage d'un bras d'essuie-glace plus particulièrement destiné, mais non exclusivement, à la glace arrière d'un véhicule automobile de type trois corps. The invention relates to a device for covering a wiper arm more particularly intended, but not exclusively, for the rear window of a three-body type motor vehicle.

Les essuie-glace connus ont l'inconvénient de mal s intégrer au volume général de la carrosserie, ce qui est préjudiciable notamment à l'esthétique du véhicule. Known wipers have the disadvantage of being poorly integrated into the general volume of the body, which is detrimental in particular to the aesthetics of the vehicle.

L'invention s'applique à un dispositif d'habillage dans lequel le bras porte-balai est muni d'un capot qui recouvre entièrement l'ensemble composé du balai et du bras, y compris son moyeu, et a pour but de remédier à l'inconvénient ci-dessus. The invention applies to a covering device in which the brush-carrying arm is provided with a cover which completely covers the assembly consisting of the brush and the arm, including its hub, and has the aim of remedying the above drawback.

Elle est caractérisée en ce que le balai étant situé, à l'arrêt de l'essuie-glace, le long d1un élément de carrosserie du véhicule adjacent à la glace, cet élément et le capot du balai sont agencés de manière que, dans cette position d'arrêt, leurs faces extérieures visibles respectives soient sensiblement juxtaposées et dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre. It is characterized in that the blade being located, at the stop of the wiper, along a body element of the vehicle adjacent to the window, this element and the hood of the brush are arranged so that, in this stopped position, their respective visible external faces are substantially juxtaposed and in the extension of one another.

Selon une caractéristique importante la surface de la face visible du capot affleure la surface extérieure de l'élément de carrosserie. According to an important characteristic, the surface of the visible face of the hood is flush with the exterior surface of the bodywork element.

Selon une autre caractéristique importante le bord de l'élément de carrosserie adjacent à la glace s'étend dans le prolongement du bord du capot du balai côté glace, en position d'arrêt de l'essuie-glace. According to another important characteristic, the edge of the body element adjacent to the window extends in the extension of the edge of the broom cover on the window side, in the stop position of the wiper.

Selon une autre caractéristique le capot du balai est clippé sur le bras. According to another characteristic, the broom cover is clipped onto the arm.

Avantageusement l'axe d'entraînement du porte-balai passe à travers la glace à essuyer.  Advantageously, the drive axis of the brush holder passes through the wiping glass.

Enfin le dispositif d'habillage selon l'invention est plus particulièrement destiné à être associé à la glace arrière du véhicule, l'élément de carrosserie étant le couvercle du coffre du véhicule. Finally, the covering device according to the invention is more particularly intended to be associated with the rear window of the vehicle, the bodywork element being the lid of the vehicle trunk.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue perspective de l'arrière d'un véhicule équipé d'un dispositif d'habillage selon l'invention avec essuie-glace en position d'arrêt
- la figure 2 est une autre perspective du même véhi cule
- la figure 3 est un agrandissement de la zone Z de la figure 1
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 1
- la figure 5 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne V-V de la figure 1
- la figure 6 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne VI-VI de la figure 1.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings, in which
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rear of a vehicle equipped with a covering device according to the invention with the wiper in the stopped position
- Figure 2 is another perspective of the same vehicle
- Figure 3 is an enlargement of the zone Z of Figure 1
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along line IV-IV of Figure 1
- Figure 5 is a sectional view along the line VV of Figure 1
- Figure 6 is a sectional view along line VI-VI of Figure 1.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit (figures 1 à 3), le dispositif d'habillage 1 conforme à l'invention est porté par le bras 2 de l'essuie-glace arrière d'un véhicule automobile 3 de type trois corps comportant un couvercle de coffre à bagages 4. La glace 5 constituant la lunette arrière est dans ce cas montée fixe sur la caisse du véhicule 3.  In the embodiment described (Figures 1 to 3), the covering device 1 according to the invention is carried by the arm 2 of the rear wiper of a motor vehicle 3 of the three-body type comprising a luggage compartment cover 4. The window 5 constituting the rear window is in this case fixed mounted on the vehicle body 3.

Le dispositif d'habillage 1 constitue un capot recouvrant entièrement l'ensemble formé par le bras d'essuieglace 2, y compris son moyeu 6a, et la raclette 7 (figures 4 et 5). The covering device 1 constitutes a cover entirely covering the assembly formed by the wiper arm 2, including its hub 6a, and the squeegee 7 (FIGS. 4 and 5).

Ainsi cet ensemble se trouve donc entièrement masqué.So this set is therefore entirely hidden.

Selon l'invention le capot 1 et le couvercle 4 sont agencés de manière telle que, à l'arrêt de l'essuie-glace le long de la partie supérieure du couvercle 4 adjacente à la glace 5, les faces extérieures visibles du capot 1 et du couvercle 4 soient situées sensiblement dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre. According to the invention the cover 1 and the cover 4 are arranged in such a way that, when the wiper stops along the upper part of the cover 4 adjacent to the window 5, the visible external faces of the cover 1 and of the cover 4 are located substantially in the extension of one another.

En se reportant aux figures 4 et 5, on voit que la surface extérieure visible du capot 1 affleure la surface extérieure visible du couvercle 4, les deux surfaces filant en parfaite continuité de forme. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, we see that the visible outer surface of the cover 1 is flush with the visible outer surface of the cover 4, the two surfaces spinning in perfect shape continuity.

Le bras 2 est fixé par un écrou 8 sur l'axe 6b relié au mécanisme et au moteur d'entraînement (non représentés) liés de façon habituelle par exemple à la traverse 9 de la caisse. L'axe 6b traverse la glace 5 qui est disposée en retrait par rapport à la surface extérieure du couvercle de malle 4 et collée à la traverse de structure 9 par un cordon de colle 10. The arm 2 is fixed by a nut 8 on the axis 6b connected to the mechanism and to the drive motor (not shown) connected in the usual way, for example to the cross member 9 of the body. The axis 6b crosses the glass 5 which is set back with respect to the external surface of the trunk cover 4 and glued to the structural cross member 9 by a bead of glue 10.

Le capot 1 est accroché ou clippé sur le bras 2 par plusieurs pattes ou griffes élastiques 11 venues de moulage avec le capot et il est positionné par des appuis 12 sur le bras 2. Un jeu ou dégagement 13, de largeur sensiblement constante est ménagé entre le capot 1 formant écran et le bord du couvercle ou volet 4. The cover 1 is hooked or clipped onto the arm 2 by several elastic tabs or claws 11 molded with the cover and it is positioned by supports 12 on the arm 2. A clearance or clearance 13, of substantially constant width is provided between the cover 1 forming a screen and the edge of the cover or flap 4.

L'écran 1 s'intègre ainsi parfaitement dans le volet 4 tout en permettant les débattements lors du fonctionnement comme le montre la figure 3 où le débattement maximum de l'écran 1 est indiqué en trait mixte.  The screen 1 thus fits perfectly into the shutter 4 while allowing the deflections during operation as shown in FIG. 3 where the maximum deflection of the screen 1 is indicated in phantom.

On voit (figures 1 à 3) que le bord du couvercle 4 disposé du côté de la glace 5 s'étend dans le prolongement du bord du capot 1 situé du même côté, en position d'arrêt de l'essuie-glace.  We see (Figures 1 to 3) that the edge of the cover 4 disposed on the side of the glass 5 extends in the extension of the edge of the cover 1 located on the same side, in the stop position of the wiper.
