Tableau de bord à indicateur à aiguille
La présente invention concerne un tableau de bord, principalement de véhicule automobile terrestre, équipé au moins d'un indicateur à aiguille comprenant un mouvement et une aiguille disposés respectivement de part et d'autre d'une face avant sur laquelle est formé un cadran pour l'aiguille.Instrument panel with needle indicator
The present invention relates to a dashboard, mainly of a land motor vehicle, equipped at least with a pointer indicator comprising a movement and a pointer respectively disposed on either side of a front face on which a dial is formed for the needle.
Dans les tableaux de bord conventionnels, la face avant est plane et les aiguilles d'indicateur font par conséquent saillie hors de cette face avant, hors du plan des graduations de leur cadran. II en résulte que la saisie visuelle, par les conducteurs, des informations des indicateurs peut être entachée d'erreurs de parallaxe. La présente invention vise à éliminer cet inconvénient.In conventional dashboards, the front face is flat and the indicator hands therefore protrude out of this front face, out of the plane of the graduations of their dial. It follows that the visual capture, by the drivers, of the information of the indicators can be marred by parallax errors. The present invention aims to eliminate this drawback.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un tableau de bord du type défini cidessus, caractérisé par le fait que le cadran s'étend dans un plan que l'aiguille affleure sensiblement.To this end, the present invention relates to a dashboard of the type defined above, characterized in that the dial extends in a plane that the needle is substantially flush with.
Grâce à l'invention, il a été créé une continuité visuelle entre les graduations du cadran et l'aiguille de l'indicateur.Thanks to the invention, a visual continuity has been created between the graduations of the dial and the indicator hand.
Dans la forme de réalisation préférée du tableau de bord de l'invention, la face avant est conformée pour présenter une cuvette pourvue d'un bord annulaire sur lequel est formé le cadran.In the preferred embodiment of the dashboard of the invention, the front face is shaped to present a bowl provided with an annular edge on which the dial is formed.
Avantageusement, et dans ce dernier cas, la face avant comporte une couche externe s'étendant jusque dans la cuvette et sur laquelle est sérigraphié le cadran.Advantageously, and in the latter case, the front face comprises an external layer extending as far as the bowl and on which the dial is screen-printed.
La couche support de cadran présente ainsi une structure en relief, étagée, qui crée la continuité visuelle entre les graduations du cadran et l'aiguille de l'indicateur.The dial support layer thus has a stepped relief structure, which creates visual continuity between the graduations of the dial and the indicator hand.
De préférence, la couche sur laquelle est sérigraphié le cadran est un flan en polycarbonate. Preferably, the layer on which the dial is screen printed is a polycarbonate blank.
On remarquera que la technologie de formage des flans en polycarbonate a subi dernièrement un bel essor et qu'elle est aujourd'hui bien maitrisée.It will be noted that the technology for forming polycarbonate blanks has undergone a recent boom and that it is now well under control.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description suivante d'une forme de réalisation particulière du tableau de bord de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel - la figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'une partie du tableau de bord, avec un indicateur à aiguille et - la figure 2 est une vue en plan du cadran de l'indicateur du tableau de bord de la figure 1.The invention will be better understood using the following description of a particular embodiment of the dashboard of the invention, with reference to the appended drawing, in which - Figure 1 is a sectional view of a part of the dashboard, with a pointer indicator and - Figure 2 is a plan view of the dial of the indicator of the dashboard of Figure 1.
Le tableau de bord représenté sur les figures, en l'espèce pour véhicule automobile, est équipé de plusieurs indicateurs à aiguille mais un seul, 1, y est représenté. L'indicateur 1 comprend, de façon classique, un mouvement 2 et une aiguille 3 respectivement disposés de part et d'autre d'une face avant 4.The dashboard shown in the figures, in this case for a motor vehicle, is equipped with several needle indicators but only one, 1, is shown there. The indicator 1 comprises, in a conventional manner, a movement 2 and a needle 3 respectively arranged on either side of a front face 4.
La face avant 4 comporte ici un conduit de lumière 5 sur lequel s'étend une couche externe 6 constituée d'un flan en polycarbonate. La face avant dans son ensemble, c'est-à-dire le conduit de lumière 5 et la couche 6, est conformée pour présenter une structure en relief étagée avec une cuvette 7, comportant un fond 8, hors duquel l'aiguille 3 fait saillie, et un bord annulaire 9, parallèle au fond 8 et qu'affleure l'aiguille 3.The front face 4 here comprises a light pipe 5 on which extends an outer layer 6 consisting of a polycarbonate blank. The front face as a whole, that is to say the light pipe 5 and the layer 6, is shaped to have a relief structure stepped with a bowl 7, comprising a bottom 8, out of which the needle 3 forms projection, and an annular edge 9, parallel to the bottom 8 and flush with the needle 3.
Le cadran 10 de l'indicateur 1, avec ses graduations 11 et ses nombres 12, est sérigraphié sur le bord annulaire 9 de la couche en polycarbonate 6. La face externe 13 de l'aiguille 3 et le bord annulaire 9 support du cadran 10 sont sensiblement coplanaires, ce qui offre une continuité visuelle entre les graduations 11 du cadran 10 et l'aiguille 3, ce qui évite toute erreur de parallaxe.The dial 10 of the indicator 1, with its graduations 11 and its numbers 12, is screen printed on the annular edge 9 of the polycarbonate layer 6. The external face 13 of the needle 3 and the annular edge 9 support of the dial 10 are substantially coplanar, which provides visual continuity between the graduations 11 of the dial 10 and the hand 3, which avoids any parallax error.
La couche 6 pourrait être conformée aussi pour servir de butée à l'aiguille 3. Layer 6 could also be shaped to serve as a stop for needle 3.
