Each hole is delimited by a convergent conical wall (10), which guides the pins during assembly of the casing to the body, a clamping wall (11) and a divergent conical wall (12). The clamping wall has a non circular convex section in a plane perpendicular to the hole, but the pin has a circular section. The clamping wall has plane surfaces (14) alternating circumferentially with portions (15) of a surface of revolution around the hole axis (13).

Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des pare-soleil pour véhicules automobiles équipés de miroir de courtoisie. The invention relates to the field of sun visors for motor vehicles fitted with a vanity mirror.

Elle concerne plus précisément l'assemblage d'un boîtier de miroir présentant sur sa face arrière des plots coopérant avec des moyens d'assemblage prévus sur le corps de pare-soleil, ce corps étant réalisé en un matériau plastique rigide. It relates more precisely to the assembly of a mirror housing having on its rear face studs cooperating with assembly means provided on the body of the sun visor, this body being made of a rigid plastic material.

En général, le boîtier de miroir comporte quatre plots en plastique venus du moulage du boîtier, et le corps de pare-soleil est équipé d'une plaque métallique qui comporte quatre trous cruciformes pour recevoir les plots. La périphérie de chaque trou de la plaque métallique présente ainsi quatre griffes qui enserrent le plot correspondant. In general, the mirror housing has four plastic studs from the molding of the housing, and the sun visor body is equipped with a metal plate which has four cruciform holes to receive the studs. The periphery of each hole in the metal plate thus has four claws which enclose the corresponding stud.

Cette disposition nécessite la fabrication d'une plaque métallique, la fixation de cette plaque sur le corps, et entraîne des problèmes lors du recyclage du pare-soleil, du fait de la présence d'au moins deux matériaux de nature différente. This arrangement requires the manufacture of a metal plate, the fixing of this plate to the body, and causes problems during recycling of the sun visor, due to the presence of at least two materials of different nature.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un pare-soleil du type mentionné ci-dessus dans lequel l'assemblage du boîtier de miroir sur le corps de pare-soleil est réalisé sans la présence d'un élément métallique. The object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor of the type mentioned above in which the assembly of the mirror housing on the body of the sun visor is carried out without the presence of a metallic element.

L'invention concerne donc un pare-soleil pour véhicule automobile, ce pare-soleil comportant un corps rigide en matériau plastique et un boîtier de miroir présentant sur sa face arrière des plots coopérant avec des moyens d'assemblage prévus sur le corps. The invention therefore relates to a sun visor for a motor vehicle, this sun visor comprising a rigid body of plastic material and a mirror housing having on its rear face studs cooperating with assembly means provided on the body.

Selon l'invention, ce pare-soleil est caractérisé par le fait que les moyens d'assemblage sont constitués par des trous ménagés dans le corps en correspondance avec les plots, chaque trou étant délimité, dans le sens de l'éloignement du boîtier, par une paroi conique convergente destinée à favoriser le guidage des plots lors de l'assemblage du boîtier sur le corps, une paroi de serrage et une paroi conique divergente, la paroi de serrage présentant une section convexe non circulaire dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe dudit trou, cependant que le plot présente une section circulaire. According to the invention, this sun visor is characterized in that the assembly means consist of holes made in the body in correspondence with the studs, each hole being delimited, in the direction of the distance from the housing, by a converging conical wall intended to favor the guiding of the studs during assembly of the housing on the body, a clamping wall and a diverging conical wall, the clamping wall having a non-circular convex section in a plane perpendicular to the axis of said hole, while the stud has a circular section.

Avantageusement, la paroi de serrage présente des surfaces planes alternant circonférentiellement avec des portions d'une surface de révolution autour de l'axe du trou.  Advantageously, the clamping wall has planar surfaces alternating circumferentially with portions of a surface of revolution around the axis of the hole.

La surface périphérique du plot peut être cylindrique ou conique et divergeant vers l'extrémité libre. The peripheral surface of the stud may be cylindrical or conical and diverging towards the free end.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description suivante faite à titre d'exemple et en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:
la figure 1 est une vue générale de la face d'un pare-soleil équipé d'un miroir de courtoisie;
la figure 2 est une coupe en éclaté selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1;
la figure 3 est section selon la ligne III-III de la figure 2.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge on reading the following description given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a general view of the face of a sun visor equipped with a vanity mirror;
Figure 2 is an exploded section along line II-II of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is section along line III-III of Figure 2.

Le dessin montre un pare-soleil 1 qui présente, sur l'une de ses faces, un miroir 2. Le miroir 2 est fixé dans un boîtier 3 qui loge dans une cavité 4 ménagée dans le corps 5 du pare-soleil 1. Le boîtier 3 et le corps 5 sont réalisés en un matériau plastique rigide. Le corps 5 est disposé de manière connue dans la structure du pare-soleil. The drawing shows a sun visor 1 which has, on one of its faces, a mirror 2. The mirror 2 is fixed in a housing 3 which accommodates in a cavity 4 formed in the body 5 of the sun visor 1. The housing 3 and body 5 are made of a rigid plastic material. The body 5 is arranged in a known manner in the structure of the sun visor.

Le boîtier 3 comporte sur sa face arrière 6 quatre plots cylindriques 7 venus du moulage destinés à loger de manière serrée dans la paroi de fond 9 de la cavité 4. The housing 3 has on its rear face 6 four cylindrical studs 7 coming from the molding intended to fit tightly in the bottom wall 9 of the cavity 4.

De manière à guider les plots lors du montage du boîtier 3 dans la cavité 4, et à les serrer après montage, chaque trou 8 est délimité, depuis la cavité 4 jusqu'à la face du fond 9 opposée à la cavité, successivement, par une paroi conique convergente 10, une paroi de serrage 11 et un paroi conique divergente 12. So as to guide the studs during assembly of the housing 3 in the cavity 4, and to tighten them after assembly, each hole 8 is delimited, from the cavity 4 to the face of the bottom 9 opposite the cavity, successively, by a converging conical wall 10, a clamping wall 11 and a diverging conical wall 12.

La paroi de serrage 1 1 présente dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 13 du trou 8, une section convexe non circulaire, des surfaces planes 14 alternant circonférentiellement avec des portions 15 d'une surface de révolution autour de l'axe 13, cette surface de révolution ayant un diamètre légèrement supérieur au diamètre du plot correspondant 7, tandis que les surfaces planes 14 sont éloignées de l'axe 13 d'une distance inférieure au diamètre du plot 7 afin d'assurer le serrage du plot 7 après montage. The clamping wall 1 1 has in a plane perpendicular to the axis 13 of the hole 8, a non-circular convex section, flat surfaces 14 alternating circumferentially with portions 15 of a surface of revolution around the axis 13, this surface of revolution having a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the corresponding stud 7, while the flat surfaces 14 are spaced from the axis 13 by a distance less than the diameter of the stud 7 in order to ensure the clamping of the stud 7 after assembly.

La paroi conique convergente 10 guide le plot 7 au cours de son introduction dans le trou 8, le diamètre de son orifice étant supérieur au diamètre du plot 7. The converging conical wall 10 guides the stud 7 during its introduction into the hole 8, the diameter of its orifice being greater than the diameter of the stud 7.

L'angle au sommet du cône générateur de la paroi conique convergente 10 a une valeur comprise entre 50 et 60t. Il est par exemple de 60*. L'angle au sommet du cône générateur de la paroi conique divergente 12 est compris entre 2 et 10.. Sa valeur peut être par exemple 39.  The angle at the top of the generator cone of the converging conical wall 10 has a value between 50 and 60t. It is for example 60 *. The angle at the top of the generator cone of the divergent conical wall 12 is between 2 and 10. Its value can be for example 39.

Dans la description détaillée faite ci-dessus, les plots 7 ont une configuration cylindrique. Mais ces plots peuvent être également coniques et divergeant vers l'arrière du boîtier 3.  In the detailed description given above, the studs 7 have a cylindrical configuration. But these studs can also be conical and diverging towards the rear of the housing 3.
