Abstract

The boot extension attaches to a motor vehicle that has the boot lid opening downward to form the base of the extension. The enclosure is formed over the open boot lid, with two lateral panels (3), two oblique panels (4) and a rear panel (5). These panels are hinged together and can fold down onto the boot lid. When extended the panels are supported by rods (6) attached to the bodywork of the vehicle. The panels are made of sheet metal, plastic, or covered metal mesh. A central spring (9) holds the panels in position. The rear panel carries the number plate, with lighting automatically connected.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Dans certains véhicules automobiles le coffre arrière pour les bagages est particulièrement petit. La présente invention permet d'augmenter à peu de frais le volume disponible pour les bagages en rabaissant la porte du coffre vers le bas.DESCRIPTION
In certain motor vehicles the rear luggage compartment is particularly small. The present invention allows the volume available for luggage to be increased inexpensively by lowering the trunk door downwards.

Pour satisfaire à la réglementation actuelle, tout agrandissement de coffre exige une visibilité sous un angle de 45" (voir figure 1), des deux feux arrière. n convient donc de réaliser des panneaux latéraux obliques pour dégager les dits feux. To comply with current regulations, any enlargement of the boot requires visibility from an angle of 45 "(see figure 1), of the two rear lights. It is therefore advisable to produce oblique side panels to release the said lights.

La description qui suit montre un exemple de réalisation selon l'invention. The following description shows an exemplary embodiment according to the invention.

La figure 2 montre un coffre de voiture ouvrant vers le bas (porte de coffre galbée ou pas). Figure 2 shows a car trunk opening downwards (curved trunk door or not).

La figure 3 montre le coffre équipé de deux panneaux latéraux (3) qui déterminent avec 2 panneaux obliques (4) et un panneau central arrière (5) un volume complémentaire au coffre luimême. Deux tringles (6) entre les panneaux latéraux (3) et la carrosserie donnent à l'ensemble sa rigidité en empêchant aussi bien son soulèvement que son abaissement. Ces tringles sont fixées dans l'angle haut à l'extérieur des panneaux latéraux (3), par un axe de pivotement, et viennent s'ancrer sur la carrosserie dans une petite équerre fixée dans la gorge d'étanchéité de la porte du coffre. Figure 3 shows the trunk equipped with two side panels (3) which determine with 2 oblique panels (4) and a rear central panel (5) a volume complementary to the trunk itself. Two rods (6) between the side panels (3) and the body give the whole its rigidity by preventing both its raising and lowering. These rods are fixed in the top angle outside the side panels (3), by a pivot axis, and are anchored on the body in a small square fixed in the sealing groove of the trunk door. .

Les panneaux obliques (4) sont joints au panneau arrière (5) par des charnières (9). Ils se replient latéralement en position rangement contre ce dernier côté intérieur. The oblique panels (4) are joined to the rear panel (5) by hinges (9). They fold laterally in the storage position against the latter inner side.

Les deux panneaux latéraux (3) sont articulés autour d'un axe (7) pour se replier indépendamment des autres panneaux sur l'intérieur de la porte du coffre, parallèlement à l'ouverture du coffre. The two side panels (3) are articulated around an axis (7) to fold independently of the other panels on the inside of the trunk door, parallel to the opening of the trunk.

Les panneaux obliques (4) sont maintenus en position ouverte grâce à un verrouillage sur les panneaux (3), tel que celui représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 ; un manchon coulissant (12) très légèrement serré, les empêchant de se désolidariser. The oblique panels (4) are held in the open position by locking on the panels (3), such as that shown in Figures 4 and 5; a sliding sleeve (12) very slightly tightened, preventing them from detaching.

Les panneaux (4) obliques ont cette position car ils dégagent ainsi réglementairement les feux de marche du véhicule selon un angle de 45".  The oblique panels (4) have this position because they thus legally clear the vehicle's running lights at an angle of 45 ".

Les panneaux (3) (4) (5) peuvent être soit en tôle métallique, soit en matière plastique ou en treillis métallique garni d'une toile. The panels (3) (4) (5) can be either sheet metal, plastic or wire mesh lined with a canvas.

La Figure 6 montre comment sur le panneau arrière (5), il convient de fixer une plaque minéralogique (11) avec feux d'éclairage pour assurer la conformité à la réglementation. Lors du déploiement des panneaux (3) (4) (5). Un contact automatique assurera le transfert des connexions électrique nécessaires à l'éclairage de la plaque.  Figure 6 shows how on the rear panel (5), a number plate (11) with lighting lights should be attached to ensure regulatory compliance. When deploying the panels (3) (4) (5). An automatic contact will ensure the transfer of the electrical connections necessary for lighting the plate.

Les figures 6 et 7 montrent comment la protection des bagages pourra avantageusement être assurée par un rideau ( 10) avec enrouleur ( 13) fixé à l'intérieur du coffre. Figures 6 and 7 show how the protection of luggage can advantageously be provided by a curtain (10) with reel (13) fixed inside the trunk.

La figure 8 montre comment le panneau (5) est articulé à sa base autour d'un axe pour pouvoir se replier en position rangée, sur la porte du coffre, en étant maintenu par un ressort puissant (9). Ce dernier maintient l'ensemble des 5 panneaux plaqués contre l'intérieur de la porte du coffre, permettant ainsi de replier aisément l'ensemble à l'intérieur du coffre. Figure 8 shows how the panel (5) is articulated at its base around an axis to be able to fold in the stowed position, on the trunk door, being held by a strong spring (9). The latter holds all of the 5 panels pressed against the inside of the trunk door, thus making it possible to easily fold the assembly inside the trunk.

Cette figure 8 représente donc l'ensemble replié avant fermeture du coffre.  This figure 8 therefore shows the assembly folded before closing the trunk.
