Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne les dispositifs de protection de pare-brise de véhicule automobile, soit contre le dépôt de matières, soit contre le rayonnement solaire et en particulier l'agencement d'un tel dispositif dans le véhicule. The invention relates to devices for protecting the windshield of a motor vehicle, either against the deposition of materials or against solar radiation, and in particular the arrangement of such a device in the vehicle.
Le pare-brise d'un véhicule automobile à l'arrêt est exposé, durant la saison froide, au dépôt de givre ou de neige qu'il est nécessaire d'enlever pour restaurer la visibilité du conducteur. Durant la saison chaude, ce même pare-brise diffuse largement le rayonnement solaire à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, ce qui contribue au réchauffement de celui-ci. The windshield of a stopped motor vehicle is exposed, during the cold season, to the deposit of frost or snow which must be removed to restore the driver's visibility. During the hot season, this same windshield widely diffuses solar radiation inside the passenger compartment, which contributes to the heating of the latter.
Pour pallier ces inconvénients, on utilise le plus souvent, une feuille de plastique ou de simple carton placée sur le pare-brise et maintenue précairement par les essuieglace. Ni la mise en place, ni surtout le rangement après usage d'un tel dispositif ne sont faciles. On a donc proposé également des dispositifs montés à demeure sur les véhicules. Ces dispositifs se composent d'un rideau déroulant contenu dans un boîtier fixé sur le toit du véhicule. Les documents FR 2 705 397, DE 34 14 484 montrent de tels dispositifs. Toutefois ceux-ci ne sont pas complètement intégrés à la carrosserie du véhicule, ce qui nuit à son aspect extérieur et à son aérodynamisme. To overcome these drawbacks, most often, a plastic sheet or simple cardboard placed on the windshield and held precariously by the wipers. Neither the installation, nor especially the storage after use of such a device is easy. It has therefore also been proposed devices permanently mounted on vehicles. These devices consist of a rolling curtain contained in a box fixed to the roof of the vehicle. Documents FR 2 705 397, DE 34 14 484 show such devices. However, these are not completely integrated into the vehicle body, which affects its exterior appearance and aerodynamics.
C'est donc le but de la présente invention de proposer un dispositif de protection externe du pare-brise d'un véhicule automobile monté à demeure sur ledit véhicule et totalement invisible lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an external protection device for the windshield of a motor vehicle permanently mounted on said vehicle and completely invisible when not in use.
Pour ce faire, l'invention a pour objet un agencement dans un véhicule automobile d'un dispositif de protection de son pare-brise, du type comportant un caisson, disposé transversalement à l'axe du véhicule, adjacent au parebrise, un rideau souple dont l'une des extrémités est fixée sur un axe monté mobile en rotation dans ledit caisson et dont la seconde extrémité est fixée sur une barre de traction, dans lequel ledit caisson est installé dans le collecteur d'auvent disposé à la base du pare-brise sous le capot du véhicule. To do this, the invention relates to an arrangement in a motor vehicle of a device for protecting its windshield, of the type comprising a box, arranged transversely to the axis of the vehicle, adjacent to the windshield, a flexible curtain one end of which is fixed on an axis mounted to move in rotation in the said box and the second end of which is fixed on a draw bar, in which the said box is installed in the awning collector disposed at the base of the screen breaks under the hood of the vehicle.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques et/ou variantes de l'invention J Le caisson est fixé sur une grille qui ferme le collecteur
d'auvent.According to other characteristics and / or variants of the invention J The box is fixed on a grid which closes the collector
awning.
J L'une des faces latérales du caisson comporte une fente à
travers laquelle passe le rideau souple, dont la longueur
est supérieure à la largeur du rideau mais inférieure à la
longueur de la barre de traction sur laquelle est fixée
l'extrémité libre dudit rideau. J One of the side faces of the box has a slot
through which the flexible curtain passes, the length of which
is greater than the width of the curtain but less than the
length of the drawbar to which is attached
the free end of said curtain.
La La fente pratiquée dans la face latérale du caisson est
munie, sur au moins l'un de ses bords longitudinaux,
d'une brosse sur laquelle vient frotter, lorsqu'il est
manoeuvré, le rideau souple.The slot in the side of the box is
provided, on at least one of its longitudinal edges,
a brush on which comes to rub, when it is
maneuvered, the curtain flexible.
J La barre de traction comporte à chacune de ses
extrémités une roulette de guidage.J The drawbar has at each of its
ends a guide wheel.
J Le véhicule automobile est muni, de façon connue en soi,
d'un joint latéral à profil concave interposé entre chacun
des montants de baie de sa carrosserie et son pare-brise
de sorte que chacune des roulettes de guidage portée par
la barre de traction s'engage dans le profil dudit joint
latéral adjacent pour guider le rideau dans son
mouvement de translation.J The motor vehicle is provided, in a manner known per se,
a concave profile side seal interposed between each
bay uprights of its body and its windshield
so that each of the guide rollers carried by
the drawbar engages in the profile of said joint
adjacent side to guide the curtain in its
translational movement.
J A leur extrémité adjacente au pavillon du véhicule, les
joints à profil concave comportent une gorge capable de
contenir les roulettes de guidage en fin de course du
rideau.JA their end adjacent to the roof of the vehicle, the
concave profile joints have a groove capable of
contain the guide rollers at the end of the
curtain.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels
La figure 1 est une vue d'un véhicule automobile
équipé de l'invention.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a view of a motor vehicle
equipped with the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue en section selon 2-2 de la
figure 1.Figure 2 is a sectional view along 2-2 of the
figure 1.
La figure 3 est une vue en section selon 3-3 de la
figure 1.Figure 3 is a sectional view along 3-3 of the
figure 1.
La figure 4 montre le dispositif selon l'invention,
avant son montage sur le véhicule.FIG. 4 shows the device according to the invention,
before mounting on the vehicle.
La figure 5 est une vue à plus grande échelle de la
partie cerclée 5 de la figure 2.Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the
circled part 5 of figure 2.
Sur la figure 1 on a représenté, en vue avant, un véhicule automobile comportant un pare-brise 10, un capot 12 ainsi que, comme on le voit mieux sur la figure 2, un collecteur d'auvent 14 s'étendant transversalement par rapport à l'axe du véhicule, à la base du pare-brise 10 et audessous de la partie arrière du capot 12. De manière habituelle, ce collecteur contient le mécanisme 16 de commande des essuie-glace et il est partiellement fermé par une grille 18. In Figure 1 there is shown, in front view, a motor vehicle comprising a windshield 10, a cover 12 and, as seen better in Figure 2, a canopy manifold 14 extending transversely relative at the center line of the vehicle, at the base of the windshield 10 and below the rear part of the hood 12. Usually, this collector contains the mechanism 16 for controlling the wipers and it is partially closed by a grid 18 .
Selon l'invention, le collecteur d'auvent 14 comporte également un rideau déroulable 20 disposé longitudinalement à l'entrée du collecteur. Afin d'éviter tout risque d'entrée d'eau dans le collecteur d'auvent, le rideau 20 est contenu dans un caisson étanche 22 solidaire de la grille d'auvent 18. According to the invention, the awning collector 14 also comprises a drop-down curtain 20 arranged longitudinally at the entrance to the collector. In order to avoid any risk of water entering the awning collector, the curtain 20 is contained in a waterproof box 22 secured to the awning grid 18.
La figure 4 montre le caisson 22, en vue perpective partiellement déchirée. De la sorte, on voit bien l'axe 24 autour duquel est enroulé le rideau souple 20. L'axe 24 est monté en rotation dans le caisson autour de paliers 26. Figure 4 shows the box 22, in partially torn perspective view. In this way, we can clearly see the axis 24 around which the flexible curtain 20 is wound. The axis 24 is mounted in rotation in the box around bearings 26.
L'une des faces latérales 22a dudit caisson est munie d'une fente 28 à travers laquelle passe le rideau 20. La longueur de cette fente est supérieure à la largeur du rideau mais inférieure à la longueur de la barre de traction 30 sur laquelle est fixée l'extrémité libre dudit rideau. De cette façon celui-ci peut se déployer à travers la fente, lorsque l'on tire sur la barre 30, mais celle-ci reste bloquée en appui sur la face latérale 22a du caisson pour rester accessible à l'extérieur de ce caisson.One of the side faces 22a of said box is provided with a slot 28 through which the curtain 20 passes. The length of this slot is greater than the width of the curtain but less than the length of the drawbar 30 on which is fixed the free end of said curtain. In this way it can be deployed through the slot, when the bar 30 is pulled, but the latter remains blocked in abutment on the lateral face 22a of the box to remain accessible outside this box.
La figure 5 montre un mode de fixation du caisson 22 sur la grille d'auvent 18. Celui-ci est maintenu par pincement élastique sur les bords longitudinaux d'une ouverture 34 de la grille. FIG. 5 shows a method of fixing the box 22 to the canopy grid 18. This is held by elastic pinching on the longitudinal edges of an opening 34 of the grid.
Au milieu de la barre de traction 30 est prévue une poignée de manoeuvre et d'accrochage 32. Afin de parfaire le guidage du rideau, il est possible de prévoir, aux deux extrémités de ladite barre, une roulette 36. Chacune des roulettes 36 est destinée à coopérer avec un joint latéral 40 interposé entre le montant de baie 42 et le pare-brise 10 du véhicule. Comme on le voit bien sur la vue en coupe de la figure 3, ce joint a un profil concave dans lequel la roulette 36 peut s'engager de façon à assurer un guidage continu du rideau dans son mouvement de translation. In the middle of the pull-up bar 30 is provided an operating and hooking handle 32. In order to perfect the guiding of the curtain, it is possible to provide, at the two ends of the said bar, a roller 36. Each of the rollers 36 is intended to cooperate with a side seal 40 interposed between the window upright 42 and the windshield 10 of the vehicle. As can be seen in the sectional view of Figure 3, this seal has a concave profile in which the roller 36 can engage so as to ensure continuous guidance of the curtain in its translational movement.
La fente 28 pratiquée dans la face 22a du caisson est encore munie, sur au moins l'un de ses bords longitudinaux d'une brosse 38 sur laquelle vient frotter, lorsqu'il est manoeuvré, le rideau 20. The slot 28 formed in the face 22a of the box is also provided, on at least one of its longitudinal edges, with a brush 38 on which the curtain 20 comes to rub, when it is operated.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif se déduit aisément de la description que l'on vient d'en faire. Lorsque l'on veut protéger le pare-brise du véhicule, on saisit la poignée 32 et l'on tire sur la barre 30 qui entraîne le rideau 20 en passant par-dessus les essuie-glace qui se trouvent ainsi également protégés. Les roulettes 36 s'engagent dans les joints 40 et cheminent le long des montants de baie 42 en guidant le rideau sur sa trajectoire. A leur extrémité adjacente au pavillon 44, les joints 40 comportent une gorge (non représentée) capable de contenir les roulettes 36 en fin de course du rideau, de façon à maintenir la barre de traction 30. Le rideau est ensuite accroché, au moyen de la poignée 32, par exemple à l'embase 46 de l'antenne radio 48 (figure 2). The operation of the device is easily deduced from the description that has just been given. When we want to protect the vehicle windshield, we grab the handle 32 and pull on the bar 30 which drives the curtain 20 passing over the wipers which are thus also protected. The rollers 36 engage in the joints 40 and travel along the uprights of the opening 42, guiding the curtain on its path. At their end adjacent to the pavilion 44, the seals 40 have a groove (not shown) capable of containing the rollers 36 at the end of the curtain's stroke, so as to hold the drawbar 30. The curtain is then hung, by means of the handle 32, for example at the base 46 of the radio antenna 48 (Figure 2).
Pour enlever la protection, il suffit de dégager la poignée 32. Le rideau est rappelé en position enroulée par un mécanisme classique (non représenté), par exemple à ressort, monté sur son axe 24. En s'enroulant il passe sur la brosse 38 disposée à l'entrée de la fente 28 et se trouve ainsi nettoyé automatiquement. To remove the protection, it suffices to release the handle 32. The curtain is returned to the wound position by a conventional mechanism (not shown), for example with spring, mounted on its axis 24. By winding it passes over the brush 38 disposed at the entrance to the slot 28 and is thus cleaned automatically.
Le dispositif que l'on vient de décrire possède beaucoup d'avantages par rapport à ceux de l'art antérieur. En premier lieu, il est totalement intégré au véhicule et n'est pas visible lorsqu'il est inactif. En outre il protège également les essuie-glace, il est bien guidé latéralement et également étanche dans ce sens, enfin il est solidement maintenu en position active. The device that has just been described has many advantages compared to those of the prior art. First, it is fully integrated into the vehicle and is not visible when it is inactive. In addition it also protects the wipers, it is well guided laterally and also waterproof in this direction, finally it is securely held in the active position.
Bien évidemment l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation particulier qui vient d'être décrit, elle comprend également tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Obviously the invention is not limited to the particular embodiment which has just been described, it also includes all the technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations.
