Abstract

The positioner for advancing the seat belt loop near to the door armrest comprises an operating arm (3) rotating on a spindle (4) through a sector of about 90<o>. The arm is held inside a tubular part (11) between two stops (12,13) enabling it to rotate along its longitudinal axis. The arm is activated by an electro-mechanical element which is located either directly on the arm spindle or separate from it inside an independent casing. At the opposite end to the mechanism, the arm has a grip (6) which is placed parallel or perpendicular to the lateral upright of the vehicle, according to whether it is being used or at rest.

Description

SERVEUR AUTOMATIQUE POUR CEINTURE DE SECURITE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif électromécanique pour avancer la ceinture de sécurité d'un véhicule automobile au niveau de l'accoudoir de porte.AUTOMATIC SAFETY BELT SERVER
The present invention relates to an electromechanical device for advancing the seat belt of a motor vehicle at the level of the door armrest.

Les automobiles sont équipées de ceintures de sécurité FIG.1 comportant une fiche mâle 8 que l'utilisateur doit engager à l'intérieur d'une pièce réceptrice 9. Automobiles are equipped with FIG.1 seat belts comprising a male plug 8 that the user must engage inside a receiving part 9.

Afin d'effectuer cette opération, il est nécessaire de saisir la fiche mâle 8 qui, lorsqu'elle n'est pas en service se trouve derrière l'épaule ou à l'arrière du siège de l'utilisateur. - Cette opération nécessite de faire des mouvements désagréables voir difficiles surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de personnes agées ou habillées de vêtements hivernaux. In order to perform this operation, it is necessary to grasp the male plug 8 which, when not in use, is located behind the shoulder or behind the seat of the user. - This operation requires making unpleasant or even difficult movements, especially when it comes to elderly people or people dressed in winter clothes.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif permet d'éviter cet inconvénient tout en laissant à l'opérateur le choix d'une utilisation conventionnelle. According to the invention, the device makes it possible to avoid this drawback while leaving the operator the choice of a conventional use.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif est fixé sur la partie basse 2 du montant latéral 1 à l'intérieur du véhicule. According to the invention, the device is fixed on the lower part 2 of the side upright 1 inside the vehicle.

Selon l'invention, l'appareil est pourvu d'un bras de manoeuvre 3 constitué d'un profil métallique de section ronde tournant autour d'un axe 4 situé en déport par rapport à son axe longitudinal. - Pendant la manoeuvre, le bras effectue une course rotative d'environ 900 , 17 autour de l'axe 4. According to the invention, the device is provided with an operating arm 3 consisting of a metal profile of round section rotating about an axis 4 located offset from its longitudinal axis. - During the maneuver, the arm performs a rotary stroke of approximately 900, 17 around axis 4.

Selon l'invention, le bras de manoeuvre est maintenu à l'intérieur d'une pièce tubulaire 11 entre deux butées 12 et 13 solidaires de celui-ci. - Lorsqu'il est mis en mouvement, l'une des butée 13 vient alors au contact du carter de l'appareFil, et provoque une rotation d'environ 900 du dit bras sur son axe longitudinal. - Lorsque ce bras est ramené en position initiale l'autre butée 12 est contrainte de s'engager à l'intérieur du carter de l'appareil qui repousse alors émette butée, provoquant ainsi une rotation inverse de celle décrite précédemment. According to the invention, the operating arm is held inside a tubular part 11 between two stops 12 and 13 secured thereto. - When it is set in motion, one of the stops 13 then comes into contact with the casing of the wire apparatus, and causes a rotation of about 900 of said arm on its longitudinal axis. - When this arm is returned to the initial position, the other stop 12 is forced to engage inside the housing of the device which then pushes back the stop, thus causing a reverse rotation of that described above.

Selon l'invention, l'extrémité du bras de manoeuvre opposée au mécanisme est pourvu d'une crosse 6 solidaire de ce bras.
Pendant les mouvements effectués par celui-ci, la crosse 6 se trouve soit en position parallèle au montant latéral lorsque l'appareil n'est pas utilisé, soit en position perpendiculaire lorsque l'appareil est sollicité. According to the invention, the end of the operating arm opposite the mechanism is provided with a stick 6 integral with this arm.
During the movements carried out by the latter, the stick 6 is either in a position parallel to the lateral upright when the device is not in use, or in a perpendicular position when the device is requested.

Selon l'invention, pendant l'évolution du bras de manoeuvre, la crosse 6 vient au contact de la sangle de la ceinture de sécurité fixée au plancher du véhicule. - Elle l'entraîne alors en extrêmité de sa course à proximité de l'accoudoir de porte 7. According to the invention, during the evolution of the maneuvering arm, the stick 6 comes into contact with the strap of the seat belt fixed to the floor of the vehicle. - It then pulls it at the end of its travel near the door armrest 7.

Selon l'invention, la figure cinématique ci-dessus explicitée est réalisée au moyen d'un moto-réducteur électrique pouvant être placé soit directement en prise sur l'axe de rotation 4 du bras de manoeuvre, soit à distance FIG.4 , le mouvement étant alors transmis au moyen d'une gaine flexible 18. According to the invention, the kinematic figure explained above is produced by means of an electric gear motor that can be placed either directly in engagement with the axis of rotation 4 of the operating arm, or at a distance FIG. 4, the movement then being transmitted by means of a flexible sheath 18.

Selon des modes particuliers d'exécution, la commande du dispositif peut être réalisée à titre d'exemples non limitatifs
- soit au moyen d'un interrupteur inverseur électrique à impulsions.placé à la portée de l'utilisateur.According to particular embodiments, the control of the device can be carried out by way of nonlimiting examples.
- or by means of an electric pulse changeover switch placed within reach of the user.

- soit au moyen d'un interrupteur électrique à impulsion enclenchant un cycle de fonctionnement. - or by means of an electrical impulse switch initiating an operating cycle.

- soit au moyen d'un asservissement électronique enclenchant un cycle de fonctionnement à partir d'une cellule ultra-sonique de détection de présence. - or by means of an electronic servo-control initiating an operating cycle from an ultra-sonic presence detection cell.
