DISPOSITIF DE MAINTIEN DE LA TETE
D'UN OCCUPANT D'UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de maintien de la tête d'un occupant d'un véhicule automobile.HEAD HOLDING DEVICE
OF AN OCCUPANT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present invention relates to a device for holding the head of an occupant of a motor vehicle.
Les appui-tête montés habituellement sur les dossiers des sièges des véhicules automobiles ont pour fonction essentielle de prévenir les accidents de la colonne vertébrale dus à des chocs provenant généralement de l'arrière du véhicule. A ce titre, ils participent au confort des sièges de véhicule. The main function of the head restraints usually mounted on the seat backs of motor vehicles is to prevent accidents to the spine due to shocks generally coming from the rear of the vehicle. As such, they contribute to the comfort of vehicle seats.
Toutefois, du fait de la fonction qui leur est assignée, ils ne procurent un appui à la tête de l'utilisateur que de l'avant vers l'arrière, même si, parfois, ils présentent une certaine concavité dirigée vers l'avant du véhicule. En outre, cette concavité présente souvent une gêne pour l'utilisateur lorsque celui-ci est de grande taille ou est un enfant: en effet, les bourrelets latéraux de l'appui-tête empêchent alors généralement un appui droit et régulier de la colonne vertébrale sur le dossier du siège et sur l'appui-tête. However, because of the function assigned to them, they provide support for the head of the user only from front to back, even if, sometimes, they have a certain concavity directed towards the front of the vehicle. In addition, this concavity often presents discomfort to the user when the latter is tall or is a child: in fact, the lateral beads of the headrest then generally prevent a straight and regular support of the spine on the seat back and on the headrest.
La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
A cet effet, I'invention a pour objet un dispositif de maintien de la tête d'un occupant d'un véhicule automobile, et ceci quelque soit sa morphologie, sur le dossier d'un siège muni d'un appui-tête monté sur le dossier dudit siège par des barres de montage, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un organe en forme générale de U, dont les deux branches ont leurs extrémités libres recourbées dans le même sens sensiblement à 90" dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à la base du U, et comportant des moyens d'accrochage auxdites barres, avec lesdites extrémités libres dirigées soit vers le haut, soit vers le bas. To this end, the invention relates to a device for holding the head of an occupant of a motor vehicle, and this regardless of its morphology, on the back of a seat provided with a headrest mounted on the back of said seat by mounting bars, characterized in that it comprises a member in the general shape of a U, the two branches of which have their free ends curved in the same direction substantially at 90 "in a plane substantially perpendicular to the base of the U, and comprising means for hooking to said bars, with said free ends directed either upwards or downwards.
Les deux extrémités libres des branches du U, qui se trouvent sensiblement verticales, forment des bourrelets qui assurent un maintien latéral des deux côtés de la tête de l'utilisateur. En outre, ces extrémités des branches sont orientées vers le bas, dans le cas où l'utilisateur est un enfant, ou vers le haut, dans le cas où l'utilisateur est un adulte et ceci en complément de la fonction protection des accidents de la colonne vertébrale dus à des chocs provenant de l'arrière du véhicule. The two free ends of the branches of the U, which are substantially vertical, form beads which provide lateral support on both sides of the user's head. In addition, these ends of the branches are oriented downward, in the case where the user is a child, or upward, in the case where the user is an adult, and this in addition to the accident protection function of the spine due to impact from the rear of the vehicle.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, lesdits moyens d'accrochage sont constitués par les deux angles formés entre la base du U et les départs des branches dudit U. In a particular embodiment of the invention, said hooking means are constituted by the two angles formed between the base of the U and the departures of the branches of said U.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, lesdits moyens d'accrochage sont constitués par des trous traversant ledit organe dans la zone de raccordement entre la base du U et ses branches, et dont les axes sont sensiblement parallèles aux extrémités libres desdites branches. In another embodiment of the invention, said attachment means consist of holes passing through said member in the connection zone between the base of the U and its branches, and whose axes are substantially parallel to the free ends of said branches .
On décrira maintenant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif selon l'invention, positionné pour être utilisé à une place arrière d'un véhicule automobile par un enfant;
- la figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure 1, le dispositif étant positionné pour être utilisé par un adulte; et
- la figure 3 est une vue de coté du dispositif selon l'invention.A particular embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention, positioned to be used in a rear seat of a motor vehicle by a child;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, the device being positioned for use by an adult; and
- Figure 3 is a side view of the device according to the invention.
Le dispositif représenté aux dessins est constitué pour l'essentiel par un organe allongé généralement cylindrique conformé en forme de U. II est destiné à être monté sur le dossier 1 d'un siège de véhicule automobile de manière à maintenir latéralement la tête de l'utilisateur. The device shown in the drawings essentially consists of an elongated generally cylindrical member shaped like a U. It is intended to be mounted on the backrest 1 of a motor vehicle seat so as to laterally hold the head of the user.
Cet organe est réalisé par tout moyen convenable pour assurer le confort du passager. II peut par exemple comporter une enveloppe textile à l'intérieur de laquelle une mousse est moulée par moulage in-situ ou une enveloppe textile étanche à l'intérieur de laquelle un gaz est propulsé. This body is made by any suitable means to ensure the comfort of the passenger. It may for example comprise a textile envelope inside which a foam is molded by in situ molding or a waterproof textile envelope inside which a gas is propelled.
Le dossier porte de façon connue à sa partie supérieure un appui-tête 2 monté par l'intermédiaire de deux barres de montage 3. L'appui-tête peut être réglable en hauteur. The backrest carries in known manner at its upper part a headrest 2 mounted by means of two mounting bars 3. The headrest can be adjustable in height.
La base 4 du U a une longueur telle que les barres 3 puissent la traverser par deux trous ménagés aux environs de sa jonction avec les branches du U. En variante, les barres 3 peuvent simplement se trouver engagées dans les angles formés entre la base du U et ses deux branches. The base 4 of the U has a length such that the bars 3 can pass through two holes provided in the vicinity of its junction with the branches of the U. As a variant, the bars 3 can simply be engaged in the angles formed between the base of the U and its two branches.
Ces deux branches 5 et 5' sont recourbées sensiblement à 90" dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à la base 4, de manière que leurs extrémités 6 et 6' s'étendent soit vers le bas (figure 1), soit vers le haut (figure 2), le long du dossier 1 ou de l'appui-tête selon le sens dans lequel le dispositif est monté sur le dossier 1. These two arms 5 and 5 'are curved substantially at 90 "in a plane substantially parallel to the base 4, so that their ends 6 and 6' extend either downwards (FIG. 1) or upwards (FIG. 2), along the backrest 1 or the headrest depending on the direction in which the device is mounted on the backrest 1.
Lorsque le siège est occupé par un enfant, le dispositif est dans sa position représentée à la figure 1, ou en traits pleins à la figure 3, les extrémités 6 et 6' des branches 5 et 5' dirigées vers le bas. Un coussin 7 peut être ajouté sous l'enfant si nécessaire pour que sa tête soit convenablement disposée entre les branches 5 et 5' du dispositif. When the seat is occupied by a child, the device is in the position shown in FIG. 1, or in solid lines in FIG. 3, the ends 6 and 6 ′ of the branches 5 and 5 ′ directed downwards. A cushion 7 can be added under the child if necessary so that his head is properly arranged between the branches 5 and 5 'of the device.
Lorsqu'au contraire le dispositif doit être utilisé par un adulte, les extrémités 6 et 6' des branches 5 et 5' sont orientées vers le haut, comme représenté à la figure 2 ou en traits interrompus à la figure 3. When, on the contrary, the device must be used by an adult, the ends 6 and 6 ′ of the branches 5 and 5 ′ are oriented upwards, as shown in FIG. 2 or in broken lines in FIG. 3.
Dans les deux cas, le dispositif selon l'invention procure à la fois confort et sécurité latérale à l'utilisateur, quelle que soit sa taille. In both cases, the device according to the invention provides both comfort and lateral safety to the user, whatever its size.
