Abstract

The vehicle boot (1) comprises a container (3) in the boot floor (2) having a horizontal bottom (5) for receiving the spare wheel (4) when placed flat. There is an upper access opening in the floor. Above the container bottom is a wheel support plate (6) which can slide vertically to be held in top access or lower stowed positions. It is raised to the top access position by three vertical helicoidal springs (9) between the bottom and the plate. The springs are each engaged in a tube (10) fixed to the bottom and in shafts (11) fixed to the plate. In the stowed position the plate is supported on the bottom by a lowering bolt (13) opposing the spring. The plate is guided by a central leg (8) having a thread (8a) into which the lowering bolt thread (12) is screwed.

Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de rangement d'une roue de secours dans un coffre de véhicule. The invention relates to a device for storing a spare wheel in a vehicle trunk.

Elle se rapporte plus précisément aux dispositifs comportant un réceptacle agencé dans le plancher du coffre et muni d'un fond horizontal apte à recevoir la roue posée à plat, et d'une ouverture supérieure d'accès sensiblement alignée avec le plancher. It relates more precisely to devices comprising a receptacle arranged in the floor of the boot and provided with a horizontal bottom capable of receiving the wheel placed flat, and an upper access opening substantially aligned with the floor.

Ces dispositifs sont préférables à ceux disposés sous le coffre, qui procurent un accès à la roue malaisé et salissant par le dessous du véhicule, mais ils présentent généralement l'inconvénient de nécessiter un important effort d'extraction de la roue hors du réceptacle. These devices are preferable to those arranged under the boot, which provide awkward and messy access to the wheel from underneath the vehicle, but they generally have the drawback of requiring a significant effort to extract the wheel from the receptacle.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de rangement d'une roue dans un coffre de véhicule, qui soit simple et ne nécessite qu'un faible effort d'extraction de la roue. The object of the invention is to propose a device for storing a wheel in a vehicle trunk, which is simple and requires only a small effort to extract the wheel.

A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte, au-dessus du fond du réceptacle, une plaque de support de la roue propre à coulisser verticalement et à être maintenue alternativement en position haute d'accès en étant soulevée par des moyens élastiques, et en position basse de rangement en étant appuyée sur le fond par un moyen d'abaissement s'opposant aux moyens élastiques. To this end, the device according to the invention comprises, above the bottom of the receptacle, a wheel support plate capable of sliding vertically and being held alternately in the high access position by being lifted by elastic means, and in the low storage position by being supported on the bottom by a lowering means opposing the elastic means.

Selon une disposition préférée, la plaque est guidée par un pied central propre à coopérer par des moyens filetés avec un organe d'abaissement prenant appui sur la roue portée par la plaque. According to a preferred arrangement, the plate is guided by a central foot capable of cooperating by threaded means with a lowering member bearing on the wheel carried by the plate.

Un mode de réalisation du dispositif de rangement selon l'invention est décrit ci-après, avec référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue, en coupe par un plan vertical, d'une partie de véhicule équipée du dispositif, avec une roue en position de rangement;
- la figure 2 est une vue analogue avec une roue en position d'accès. An embodiment of the storage device according to the invention is described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, among which:
- Figure 1 is a view, in section through a vertical plane, of a vehicle part equipped with the device, with a wheel in the storage position;
- Figure 2 is a similar view with a wheel in the access position.

On voit sur les figures une partie inférieure d'un coffre 1 de véhicule, dans le plancher 2 duquel est agencé un réceptacle 3 pour une roue de secours 4, près d'un bord inférieur la d'une ouverture d'accès au coffre. The figures show a lower part of a vehicle trunk 1, in the floor 2 of which is arranged a receptacle 3 for a spare wheel 4, near a lower edge 1a of an opening for access to the trunk.

Ce réceptacle comporte un fond horizontal 5 apte à supporter la roue 4 posée à plat, et une ouverture supérieure située au niveau du plancher 2. This receptacle has a horizontal bottom 5 capable of supporting the wheel 4 placed flat, and an upper opening situated at the level of the floor 2.

Une plaque 6 de support de la roue est disposée horizontalement au-dessus du fond 5 du réceptacle et peut coulisser verticalement en étant guidée par engagement d'une douille centrale 7 qu'elle comporte sur un pied cylindrique vertical 8 fixé au centre du fond 5 de façon usuelle non représentée. A wheel support plate 6 is arranged horizontally above the bottom 5 of the receptacle and can slide vertically while being guided by engagement of a central sleeve 7 which it comprises on a vertical cylindrical foot 8 fixed to the center of the bottom 5 usually not shown.

Trois ressorts hélicoïdaux 9 disposés verticalement et répartis régulièrement autour du pied 8 sont interposés entre le fond 5 et la plaque 6, en étant engagés chacun dans un tube 10 fixé au fond 5, et dans un puits 11 solidaire de la plaque 6 et saillant de celle-ci vers le haut de manière à pouvoir recevoir coaxialement le tube 10. En variante, chaque ressort 9 est engagé autour d'un tube fixé au fond 5. Three helical springs 9 arranged vertically and regularly distributed around the foot 8 are interposed between the bottom 5 and the plate 6, each being engaged in a tube 10 fixed to the bottom 5, and in a well 11 integral with the plate 6 and projecting from this upwards so as to be able to receive the tube 10 coaxially. As a variant, each spring 9 is engaged around a tube fixed to the bottom 5.

Le pied cylindrique 8 est percé d'un trou taraudé axial 8a dans lequel peut être vissée une tige filetée 12 d'un organe d'abaissement 13 dont une tête circulaire 14 est apte à prendre appui sur le bord supérieur 15 d'un trou central de la roue 4. The cylindrical leg 8 is pierced with an axial threaded hole 8a into which a threaded rod 12 of a lowering member 13 can be screwed, a circular head 14 of which is capable of bearing on the upper edge 15 of a central hole wheel 4.

Cette tête 14 est munie de nervures supérieures 14a permettant le vissage manuel de l'organe 13.This head 14 is provided with upper ribs 14a allowing the manual screwing of the member 13.

Les ressorts 9 sont dimensionnés de manière à provoquer un soulèvement de la plaque 6 chargée de la roue 4 jusqu'à une position haute (Figure 2) d'accès à la roue quand l'organe 13 est suffisamment dévissé, voire retiré pour permettre l'extraction de la roue hors du coffre. The springs 9 are dimensioned so as to cause a lifting of the plate 6 loaded with the wheel 4 to a high position (Figure 2) for access to the wheel when the member 13 is sufficiently unscrewed or even removed to allow the extraction of the wheel from the boot.

Le rangement de la roue s'effectue en la plaçant sur le plateau 6 soulevé par les ressorts 9 (Figure 2), puis en engageant et en vissant la tige filetée 12 dans le trou taraudé 8a du pied central 8, par rotation de la tête 14 de l'organe 13, dont l'appui supérieur sur la roue provoque l'abaissement de celle-ci et du plateau 6 jusqu'à mise en appui sur le fond 5 du réceptacle (Figure 1), en comprimant les ressorts 9 dans leurs tubes 10 et leurs puits 11 respectifs. The wheel is stored by placing it on the plate 6 lifted by the springs 9 (Figure 2), then engaging and screwing the threaded rod 12 in the tapped hole 8a of the central leg 8, by rotation of the head 14 of the member 13, the upper support of which on the wheel causes the lowering of the latter and of the plate 6 until it rests on the bottom 5 of the receptacle (Figure 1), by compressing the springs 9 in their tubes 10 and their respective wells 11.

Dans cette position basse de rangement, un couvercle 16 est de préférence disposé sur la roue de façon usuelle.In this low storage position, a cover 16 is preferably arranged on the wheel in the usual way.

Diverses variantes sont envisageables, telles que le remplacement des trois ressorts décrits plus haut par un seul ressort hélicoïdal central entourant par exemple un pied de guidage vertical, ou bien la réalisation de ce guidage par coopération des tubes 10 susmentionnés avec des puits 1 1 appropriés.  Various variants are conceivable, such as the replacement of the three springs described above by a single central helical spring surrounding for example a vertical guide foot, or else the realization of this guidance by cooperation of the above-mentioned tubes 10 with appropriate wells 1 1.
