Abstract

The control pedal (1) is mounted at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The pedal pivots about an axis of rotation (XX) that is fixed to the floor (3). The pedal is raised at an angle ( alpha ) to the floor, with the pivot nearer the driver. The pivot is provided by a rod with its axis at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and the pedal can be positioned along the rod to adjust the distance from the seat. The rod is at an angle alpha to the longitudinal axis of the pedal. The pedal has a length exceeding (100/cos alpha ) millimetre.

Description

La présente invention concerne une pédale de véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a motor vehicle pedal.

Une telle pédale est adaptée en particulier pour un véhicule à propulsion électrique dont le siège est intégralement moulé avec le plancher du véhicule, mais il est bien entendu qu'elle peut être utilisée pour d'autres types de véhicules dont le siège conducteur n'est pas réglable mais pas nécessairement moulé avec le plancher de celui-ci. Such a pedal is particularly suitable for an electrically propelled vehicle whose seat is integrally molded with the floor of the vehicle, but it is understood that it can be used for other types of vehicles whose driver's seat is not not adjustable but not necessarily molded with the floor thereof.

Selon l'invention, la pédale de véhicule automobile est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est disposée de façon oblique suivant un angle a par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du véhicle. According to the invention, the pedal of a motor vehicle is characterized in that it is arranged obliquely at an angle a relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

La pédale est articulée sur un axe de rotation s'étendant suivant la direction oblique d'angle a par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de celle-ci. The pedal is articulated on an axis of rotation extending in the oblique direction of angle a with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof.

De préférence, l'axe de rotation est fixé au plancher du véhicule. Preferably, the axis of rotation is fixed to the vehicle floor.

Avantageusement, la pédale a une longueur supérieure ou
100 lO0 mm egale a
cos a
L'angle a précité est inférieur à s/2 et est de préférence compris entre tut/8 et 3tu/8. Advantageously, the pedal has a longer length or
100 l00 mm equal to
cos a
The aforementioned angle is less than s / 2 and is preferably between tut / 8 and 3tu / 8.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une pédale de véhicule automobile conforme à l'invention ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne II II de la figure 1.The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating an embodiment. of the invention and in which
- Figure 1 is a top view of a motor vehicle pedal according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II II of Figure 1.

En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, la pédale 1 d'un véhicule automobile, par exemple du type à propulsion électrique et/ou à boîte automatique, est disposée de façon oblique suivant un angle a par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, dont l'avant est indiqué par la flèche A.  Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the pedal 1 of a motor vehicle, for example of the type with electric propulsion and / or automatic transmission, is arranged obliquely at an angle a relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle , the front of which is indicated by arrow A.

La pédale, vue de dessus, est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire de relativement grande dimension par rapport à celle d'une pédale usuelle et est articulée sur un axe de rotation 2 s'étendant suivant la direction longitudinale XX' de la pédale 1, l'axe de rotation 2 étant fixé au plancher 3 du véhicule par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de support approprié 4. The pedal, seen from above, is of substantially rectangular shape of relatively large dimension compared to that of a usual pedal and is articulated on a rotation axis 2 extending in the longitudinal direction XX 'of the pedal 1, l' axis of rotation 2 being fixed to the floor 3 of the vehicle by means of an appropriate support means 4.

L'angle a ci-dessus de la pédale est inférieur à s/2 et, de préférence, est compris entre =/8 et 3z/8.  The angle a above of the pedal is less than s / 2 and, preferably, is between = / 8 and 3z / 8.

La pédale 1 est rappelée à sa position relevée représentée en figure 2 par un ressort hélicoïdal 5 interposé entre la face inférieure ou arrière de la pédale 1 et le plancher 3. Deux pieds de positionnement et de maintien 6 du ressort hélicoïdal 5 sont fixés respectivement sous la pédale 1 et au plancher 3. Une butée 7, solidaire de la pédale 1, délimite la position haute relevée de la pédale en venant en appui sur une partie d'appui correspondante 8 du plancher 3. The pedal 1 is returned to its raised position represented in FIG. 2 by a helical spring 5 interposed between the lower or rear face of the pedal 1 and the floor 3. Two positioning and holding feet 6 of the helical spring 5 are fixed respectively under the pedal 1 and to the floor 3. A stop 7, integral with the pedal 1, delimits the raised high position of the pedal by coming to bear on a corresponding bearing part 8 of the floor 3.

La butée 7, lors de l'enfoncement de la pédale 1, se déplace dans une lumière 9 du plancher 3.The stop 7, when the pedal 1 is depressed, moves in a slot 9 in the floor 3.

La figure 1 montre l'actionnement de la pédale 1 par deux chaussures d'utilisateurs de tailles différentes et, de préférence, la différence de positionnement D entre les deux talons de ces chaussures est supérieure ou égale à 100 mm et cette différence est suffisante pour une assise haute du conducteur supérieure à la hauteur d'assise d'un siège normal. Dans ces conditions, la pédale 1 a une longueur
100 mm supérieure ou égale à
cos a
Grâce à la relativement grande dimension définie cidessus de la pédale de l'invention, il est possible de supprimer les réglages du siège conducteur et d'utiliser notamment un siège de conducteur fixe intégralement moulé au plancher du véhicule. Ce dernier peut comporter deux pédales conformes à l'invention et qui sont disposées symétriquement à un plan vertical parallèle au plan médian du véhicule en s'écartant l'une de l'autre vers l'arrière du véhicule. FIG. 1 shows the actuation of the pedal 1 by two user shoes of different sizes and, preferably, the difference in positioning D between the two heels of these shoes is greater than or equal to 100 mm and this difference is sufficient to a high driver's seat greater than the seat height of a normal seat. In these conditions, the pedal 1 has a length
100 mm greater than or equal to
cos a
Thanks to the relatively large dimension defined above of the pedal of the invention, it is possible to eliminate the adjustments of the driver's seat and in particular to use a fixed driver's seat integrally molded to the floor of the vehicle. The latter may include two pedals according to the invention and which are arranged symmetrically to a vertical plane parallel to the median plane of the vehicle, deviating from one another towards the rear of the vehicle.
