Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des porte-charges, notamment des porte-charges à monter à l'arrière d'un véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to load carriers, in particular load carriers to be mounted at the rear of a motor vehicle.
Lorsqu'un porte-charges ne sert pas, il prend beaucoup de place à l'arrière du véhicule et, comme il se trouve au-delà du pare-chocs, il transmet tout choc ou impact qu'il reçoit de l'arrière à l'avant du véhicule sans l'amortir, ce qui peut provoquer des dommages au véhicule. When a load carrier is not in use, it takes up a lot of space at the rear of the vehicle and, since it is beyond the bumper, it transmits any shock or impact it receives from the rear to the front of the vehicle without cushioning it, which can cause damage to the vehicle.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a déjà pensé à monter le plateau de charge de manière qu'il puisse être rabattu contre la porte de coffre du véhicule lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. Cet agencement a cependant l'inconvénient que le plateau se trouve toujours au < lelà du pare-chocs (ou bouclier) du véhicule et en outre, a tendance à provoquer des dommages à la peinture du côté du plateau qui fait face à la route à l'état non rabattu du plateau, ces dommages donnant un aspect peu attrayant à l'arrière du véhicule lorsque le plateau est ramené en position rabattue. To overcome this drawback, we have already thought of mounting the load plate so that it can be folded against the trunk door of the vehicle when it is not in use. This arrangement, however, has the disadvantage that the tray is always <<beyond the bumper (or shield) of the vehicle and in addition, tends to cause damage to the paint on the side of the tray which faces the road to the non-folded state of the tray, this damage giving an unattractive appearance to the rear of the vehicle when the tray is brought back into the folded position.
Le document EP-O 566 84 3 Al décrit un porte-charges dans lequel le plateau de charge est constitué de deux membrures destinées à coulisser dans deux fourreaux prévus dans le plancher du véhicule, d'une traverse principale et de deux bras coudés montés tournant dans les membrures et coulissant sur la traverse principale. Pour l'escamotage, le rabattement du plateau de charge s'effectue, dans le plan vertical, perpendiculaire aux membrures, dans lequel se trouvent les bras quand le porte-charges est sorti, par rotation des bras pour les faire passer à l'horizontale. Une fois les bras rabattus, I'ensemble peut coulisser par l'intermédiaire des membrures coulissant dans les fourreaux prévus dans le plancher du véhicule, afin d'amener le porte-charges dans le pare-chocs. Document EP-O 566 84 3 A1 describes a load carrier in which the load plate consists of two frames intended to slide in two sleeves provided in the vehicle floor, a main cross member and two bent arms mounted to rotate in the frames and sliding on the main transom. For the retraction, the folding of the load plate is carried out, in the vertical plane, perpendicular to the members, in which the arms are located when the load carrier is out, by rotation of the arms to make them pass horizontally . Once the arms are folded, the assembly can slide through the members sliding in the sleeves provided in the vehicle floor, in order to bring the load carrier into the bumper.
Ce porte-charges a les inconvénients suivants
D'une part, les bras étant nécessairement coudés pour pouvoir être rabattus dans le plan vertical, le porte-charges ne peut pas avoir une grande dimension dans le sens de la longueur du véhicule, à moins de prévoir de très longues membrures qui prennent beaucoup de place dans le véhicule lorsqu'elles y sont rentrées.This load carrier has the following disadvantages
On the one hand, the arms being necessarily bent to be able to be folded in the vertical plane, the load carrier cannot have a large dimension in the direction of the length of the vehicle, unless providing very long members which take a lot of space in the vehicle when they have entered it.
D'autre part, les opérations de sortie et d'escamotage du portecharges sont compliquées et prennent du temps, notamment en ne pouvant pas s'effectuer d'un seul mouvement ; deux étapes sont en effet nécessaires, à savoir rabattre les deux bras, puis faire coulisser les membrures dans les fourreaux. On the other hand, the operations of removing and retracting the load carrier are complicated and take time, in particular by not being able to be carried out with a single movement; two steps are in fact necessary, namely folding down the two arms, then sliding the members in the sleeves.
L'invention vise un porte-charges qui, tout en pouvant être escamoté comme les porte-charges de l'art antérieur, est plus simple à sortir ou à escamoter et qui peut être de plus grande dimension dans la direction longitudinale des membrures, et ce pour des membrures de même dimension que celle de l'art antérieur. The invention relates to a load carrier which, while being able to be retracted like the load carriers of the prior art, is simpler to exit or to retract and which can be of larger dimension in the longitudinal direction of the members, and this for members of the same dimension as that of the prior art.
Suivant l'invention, le porte-charges comprenant une membrure qui est conformée de manière à pouvoir coulisser dans une direction et sur laquelle un élément porteur est monté de manière à pouvoir coulisser et à pouvoir se déployer, est caractérisé en ce que l'élément porteur se déploie dans un plan parallèle à la direction de coulissement de la membrure. According to the invention, the load carrier comprising a frame which is shaped so that it can slide in one direction and on which a carrier element is mounted so that it can slide and can be deployed, is characterized in that the element carrier deploys in a plane parallel to the sliding direction of the member.
On peut ainsi le faire coulisser et le déployer d'un seul et même mouvement. Replié, il prend peu de place, même s'il est grand dans la direction longitudinale des membrures
Suivant un mode de réalisation d'une grande stabilité, le porte-charges comprend deux membrures parallèles et l'élément porteur coulisse et se déploie dans le plan défini par les deux membrures, parallèlement au plan de la route.We can thus slide it and deploy it in a single movement. Folded up, it takes up little space, even if it is large in the longitudinal direction of the members
According to an embodiment of great stability, the load carrier comprises two parallel members and the carrier element slides and deploys in the plane defined by the two members, parallel to the road plane.
Suivant un mode de réalisation particulièrement simple, le portecharges est constitué de deux membrures parallèles à distance l'une de l'autre et d'un élément porteur constitué d'une traverse principale montée coulissante sur les deux membrures, d'une traverse d'extrémité montée aux deux extrémités extérieures respectives des membrures, d'un premier bras monté coulissant sur la traverse principale et articulé sur la traverse d'extrémité et d'un deuxième bras monté coulissant sur la traverse principale et pouvant être articulé à la caisse du véhicule. According to a particularly simple embodiment, the load carrier consists of two parallel members at a distance from each other and of a carrier element consisting of a main cross member slidingly mounted on the two members, a cross member end mounted at the two respective outer ends of the members, a first arm mounted sliding on the main cross member and articulated on the end cross member and a second arm mounted sliding on the main cross member and capable of being articulated at the body of the vehicle .
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation de conception simple et permettant d'obtenir un porte-charges bien équilibré et résistant, il est prévu une paire de premiers bras symétriques par rapport à l'axe central longitudinal du portecharges et une paire de seconds bras symétriques également par rapport à cet axe longitudinal, et symétriques de la paire de premiers bras comme dans un miroir par rapport à la traverse principale. According to another embodiment of simple design and making it possible to obtain a well balanced and resistant load carrier, there is provided a pair of first arms symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the load carrier and a pair of second arms also symmetrical with respect to this longitudinal axis, and symmetrical with the pair of first arms as in a mirror with respect to the main crosspiece.
Au dessin annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple,
la Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un porte-charges suivant l'invention à l'état déployé, à l'arrière d'un véhicule automobile, et
la Figure 2 est une vue de côté du même porte-charges à l'état déployé.In the attached drawing, given solely by way of example,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a load carrier according to the invention in the deployed state, at the rear of a motor vehicle, and
Figure 2 is a side view of the same load carrier in the deployed state.
La Figure 1 représente l'arrière d'un véhicule 1 automobile sur lequel est monté un porte-charges 2. FIG. 1 represents the rear of a motor vehicle 1 on which a load carrier 2 is mounted.
Le porte-charges 2 est constitué de deux membrures 3, 4 montées coulissantes dans des fourreaux 5, 6 ménagés dans le plancher 7 du véhicule 1 automobile. The load carrier 2 consists of two frames 3, 4 mounted sliding in sleeves 5, 6 formed in the floor 7 of the motor vehicle 1.
Une traverse 8 d'extrémité est montée d'une pièce avec les membrures 3, 4 aux extrémités de celles-ci. Une traverse 9 principale est montée coulissante par l'intermédiaire de coulisseaux 10, 11 coulissant dans des glissières 12, 13 ménagées dans les membrures 4, 5. An end cross member 8 is mounted in one piece with the members 3, 4 at the ends thereof. A main cross-member 9 is slidably mounted by means of slides 10, 11 sliding in slides 12, 13 formed in the frames 4, 5.
Un premier bras 14 est monté coulissant sur la traverse 9 dans une glissière 15 ménagée dans la traverse 9 principale. A first arm 14 is slidably mounted on the cross-member 9 in a slide 15 formed in the main cross-member 9.
De même, des deuxième, troisième et quatrième bras 16,17,18 sont également montés coulissants sur cette traverse 9 principale dans des glissières ménagées dans la traverse 9 principale. Likewise, second, third and fourth arms 16, 17, 18 are also slidably mounted on this main cross-member 9 in slides arranged in the main cross-member 9.
Les bras 14 et 16 sont en outre articulés en deux points 19 et 20 respectivement à la traverse 8 d'extrémité, tandis que les deux autres bras 17, 18 sont articulés en deux points 21 et 22 du véhicule, en deçà du pare-chocs 23 du véhicule 1. The arms 14 and 16 are also articulated at two points 19 and 20 respectively at the end cross member 8, while the other two arms 17, 18 are articulated at two points 21 and 22 of the vehicle, below the bumper 23 of vehicle 1.
Deux baguettes 24 et 25 peuvent être fixées de manière amovible à chacune des membrures pour aider au maintien d'une bicyclette. Two rods 24 and 25 can be removably attached to each of the members to help maintain a bicycle.
Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite escamoter le porte-charges, il exerce une poussée sur la traverse 8 d'extrémité dans le sens dirigé vers le véhicule, ce qui a pour effet de faire coulisser d'une part les membrures 3, 4 dans les fourreaux 5, 6, d'autre part la traverse 9 principale dans les glissières 12, 13 des membrures 3, 4 et enfin les bras 14, 16, 17, 18 de sorte que ceux-ci viennent sensiblement le long de la traverse 9 principale et occupent avec cette traverse 9 et la traverse 8 un espace désigné par 26. Cet espace 26 est en deçà du pare-chocs 23. When the user wishes to retract the load carrier, he exerts a thrust on the end cross member 8 in the direction directed towards the vehicle, which has the effect of sliding on the one hand the members 3, 4 in the sleeves 5, 6, on the other hand the main cross member 9 in the runners 12, 13 of the members 3, 4 and finally the arms 14, 16, 17, 18 so that these come substantially along the main cross member 9 and occupy with this cross member 9 and the cross member 8 a space designated by 26. This space 26 is below the bumper 23.
Les traits en pointillés à la Figure 2 montrent la position des membrures 3, 4 lorsque celles-ce sont rentrées dans les fourreaux 5 et 6. The dotted lines in Figure 2 show the position of the members 3, 4 when they have entered the sleeves 5 and 6.
