Abstract

The plate consists of a plate (1), in a flexible plastic material, which carries the registration numbers. It is provided with several suction pads (2, 3, 4) on the rear of the plate and clips (5, 6), U-shaped, and which are fixed to the body of the plate, in a removable manner. The clips are located under the lower edge (101) of the body of the registration plate and of the fixed plate on the vehicle, and within the gaps (20 and 23) between the suction pads.

Description

La présente invention concerne une plaque d'immatriculation amovible (plaque de garage dite plaque w ) destinée à être fixée par-dessus la plaque d'immatriculation d'un véhicule pour circuler en dehors du garage. The present invention relates to a removable license plate (garage plate called w plate) intended to be fixed over the license plate of a vehicle for driving outside the garage.

De telles plaques sont utilisées par les garagistes lorsque ceux-ci circulent à l'extérieur du garage avec un véhicule de client pour faire des essais. Chaque plaque d'un jeu de deux plaques, se monte par-dessus les deux plaques fixées à demeure sur le véhicule. Ces deux plaques amovibles doivent être faciles à mettre en place et à enlever, tenir correctement pendant l'essai et ne pas se détacher. Such plates are used by garage owners when they are driving outside the garage with a customer vehicle for testing. Each plate in a set of two plates is mounted over the two plates permanently fixed to the vehicle. These two removable plates must be easy to put on and remove, hold correctly during the test and not come loose.

I1 existe de multiples types de plaques amovibles ou plaques de garage car les plaques fixes ont des états de surface variables, soit lisses, soit irréguliers suivant que les éléments d'immatriculation de la plaque fixe sont en relief ou sont intégrés dans la masse de la plaque (plaque en matière plastique ou plaque en aluminium). There are multiple types of removable plates or garage plates because the fixed plates have variable surface conditions, either smooth or irregular depending on whether the registration elements of the fixed plate are in relief or are integrated into the mass of the plate (plastic plate or aluminum plate).

De ce fait, il n'est pas possible d'avoir une plaque de garage compatible avec les différents types de plaques que le garagiste peut trouver sur un véhicule en réparation. I1 lui faut donc différents types de plaques amovibles pour ses essais. Therefore, it is not possible to have a garage plate compatible with the different types of plates that the garage owner can find on a vehicle under repair. I1 therefore needs different types of removable plates for its tests.

Ce problème est important en pratique. This problem is important in practice.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et se propose de créer une plaque d'immatriculation amovible (plaque de garage) pour garagistes, qui puisse se monter pratiquement sur toutes les plaques fixes existantes et cela par une opération simple tout en garantissant la bonne tenue de la plaque fixe et sans détériorer celle-ci. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create a removable registration plate (garage plate) for garage owners, which can be mounted on practically all existing fixed plates and this by a simple operation while guaranteeing the good behavior of the fixed plate and without damaging it.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une plaque d'immatriculation amovible caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend - une plaque en matière plastique souple comportant le numéro
d'immatriculation du w du garagiste, - quelques ventouses sur le côté arrière du corps de la pla
que, - des pinces en forme de U venant serrer le corps de manière
amovible contre la plaque fixe, ces pinces étant placées
par-dessus le bord inférieur du corps et de la plaque fixe,
dans les intervalles entre les ventouses pour serrer et dé
former élastiquement le corps.
To this end, the invention relates to a removable license plate characterized in that it comprises - a flexible plastic plate bearing the number
registration number of the garage owner, - some suction cups on the rear side of the body of the pla
that, - U-shaped pliers tightening the body so
removable against the fixed plate, these clips being placed
over the lower edge of the body and the fixed plate,
in the intervals between the suction cups to tighten and dice
resiliently form the body.

Cette plaque est d'une réalisation simple. Elle comporte uniquement quelques ventouses et notamment trois ventouses dont deux ventouses latérales, c'est-à-dire placées près des extrémités du corps de la plaque et une ventouse médiane ; ces ventouses ont de préférence des têtes pour être retenues devant la plaque. This plate is of a simple realization. It comprises only a few suction cups and in particular three suction cups including two lateral suction cups, that is to say placed near the ends of the body of the plate and a central suction cup; these suction cups preferably have heads to be retained in front of the plate.

Sur une surface lisse ces ventouses créent un effet de ventouse combiné à un effet de ressort sous l'effet de la déformation induite dans la plaque amovible par les pinces placées dans l'intervalle de la plaque amovible, entre deux ventouses. On a smooth surface, these suction cups create a suction cup effect combined with a spring effect under the effect of the deformation induced in the removable plate by the clamps placed in the interval of the removable plate, between two suction cups.

Cette coopération des pinces et des ventouses permet un excellent accrochage de la plaque amovible quelle que soit la surface ou l'état de la surface de la plaque fixe qui reçoit provisoirement la plaque amovible ou encore de l'état d'usure des ventouses. This cooperation of the clamps and of the suction cups allows excellent attachment of the removable plate whatever the surface or the condition of the surface of the fixed plate which temporarily receives the removable plate or even of the state of wear of the suction cups.

Cet effet existe même sur des plaques lisses qui en théorie pourraient recevoir une plaque provisoire munie uniquement de ventouses. This effect even exists on smooth plates which in theory could receive a provisional plate provided only with suction cups.

Les pinces et la déformation de la plaque provisoire augmentent la pression exercée par les ventouses et évitent l'effet de cisaillement ou de glissement vers le bas que pourrait subit une plaque provisoire accrochée uniquement par des ventouses sur une plaque fixe, lisse. The clamps and the deformation of the temporary plate increase the pressure exerted by the suction cups and avoid the effect of shearing or sliding downwards that a temporary plate could undergo, hooked only by suction cups on a fixed, smooth plate.

Cette combinaison des effets de ressort créé par les ventouses et les pinces permet également d'éviter le glissement des plaques dont les ventouses sont usées ou ne créent plus un effet d'aspiration suffisant. This combination of the spring effects created by the suction cups and the clamps also makes it possible to avoid the sliding of the plates whose suction cups are worn or no longer create a sufficient suction effect.

De manière particulièrement avantageuses, le corps de la plaque est constitué par une plaque en matière plastique d'une épaisseur de 3 mm. Cette épaisseur donne à la plaque une élasticité suffisante et en même temps la rigidité s'opposant au pincement exercé par les pinces.  Particularly advantageously, the body of the plate consists of a plastic plate with a thickness of 3 mm. This thickness gives the plate sufficient elasticity and at the same time the rigidity opposing the pinching exerted by the clamps.

Ces pinces en matière plastique sont de préférence au nombre de deux ; elles ont une section en U refermé, terminé à chaque extrémité par un bord formant une ouverture évasée, facilitant la mise en place de la pince sur les bords inférieurs de la plaque amovible et la plaque fixe. These plastic clamps are preferably two in number; they have a closed U-shaped section, terminated at each end by an edge forming a flared opening, facilitating the positioning of the clamp on the lower edges of the removable plate and the fixed plate.

La présente invention sera décrite ci-après de manière plus détaillée à l'aide des dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue de face d'une plaque amovible selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la plaque de la figure 1,
- la figure 3 est une vue de dessus d'une plaque selon l'invention fixée sur la plaque du véhicule,
- la figure 4 est une vue de côté correspondant à la figure 3.
The present invention will be described below in more detail with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a front view of a removable plate according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a top view of the plate in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a top view of a plate according to the invention fixed to the plate of the vehicle,
- Figure 4 is a side view corresponding to Figure 3.

Selon la figure 1, l'invention concerne une plaque d'immatriculation amovible ou plaque de garage dite plaque w composée d'un corps 1 constitué par une plaque en matière plastique d'une épaisseur d'environ 3 mm, élastique et néanmoins résistante. Ce corps 1 est muni de ventouses 2, 3, 4 sur sa face arrière. Ces ventouses traversent des orifices 11, 12, 13 du corps 1 et sont munies à l'avant d'une tête 21, 31, 41 pour être reliées de manière imperdable au corps 1. Les ventouses ont un corps 22, 32, 42 de forme tronconique, élastique. According to Figure 1, the invention relates to a removable license plate or garage plate called w plate composed of a body 1 consisting of a plastic plate with a thickness of about 3 mm, elastic and nevertheless resistant. This body 1 is provided with suction cups 2, 3, 4 on its rear face. These suction cups pass through orifices 11, 12, 13 of the body 1 and are provided at the front with a head 21, 31, 41 to be connected in a captive manner to the body 1. The suction cups have a body 22, 32, 42 of frustoconical, elastic shape.

Les ventouses 2, 3, 4 sont placées de préférence au niveau de chaque extrémité (14, 16) et au milieu 15 du corps 1 de manière à ne pas encombrer l'emplacement réservé aux lettres et chiffres d'immatriculation 17, 18, 19 de cette plaque de garage. The suction cups 2, 3, 4 are preferably placed at each end (14, 16) and in the middle 15 of the body 1 so as not to clutter the space reserved for registration letters and numbers 17, 18, 19 of this garage plate.

La plaque comprend également des pinces 5, 6 à section en U, se fixant sur le bord inférieur 101 du corps de la plaque 1. The plate also comprises clamps 5, 6 of U-section, which are fixed on the lower edge 101 of the body of the plate 1.

La mise en place et l'effet de fixation de la plaque de garage 1 sur une plaque d'immatriculation 7 solidaire du véhicule apparaissent aux figures 3 et 4.  The installation and the fixing effect of the garage plate 1 on a license plate 7 secured to the vehicle appear in FIGS. 3 and 4.

La plaque définitive ou fixe 7 peut avoir une surface avant 71 lisse ou munie de parties en relief 72, 73, 74 correspondant aux inscriptions portées par la plaque (lettres et chiffres en relief). The final or fixed plate 7 may have a smooth front surface 71 or provided with raised parts 72, 73, 74 corresponding to the inscriptions carried by the plate (letters and numbers in relief).

Quel que soit cet état et la forme de la surface avant 71 de la plaque fixe 7, celle-ci reçoit les corps 22, 32, 42 des ventouses qui grâce aux têtes 21, 31, 41 retiennent la plaque. Whatever this state and the shape of the front surface 71 of the fixed plate 7, the latter receives the bodies 22, 32, 42 of the suction cups which, thanks to the heads 21, 31, 41 retain the plate.

Dans l'intervalle 20, 23 entre les ventouses 2, 3, 4, la plaque se déforme sous l'effet de la pince 5, 6. La plaque présente ainsi une forme ondulée entre les zones pincées par les pinces 5, 6 et celles repoussées élastiquement par les corps 22, 32, 42 des ventouses. In the interval 20, 23 between the suction cups 2, 3, 4, the plate deforms under the effect of the clamp 5, 6. The plate thus has a wavy shape between the areas clamped by the clamps 5, 6 and those pushed elastically by the bodies 22, 32, 42 of the suction cups.

La figure 4 montre la mise en place des ventouses et le pincement qu'elles créent dans la partie inférieure du corps 1 de la plaque amovible.  Figure 4 shows the establishment of the suction cups and the pinch they create in the lower part of the body 1 of the removable plate.
