référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels: - la figure 1 est une vue perpective éclatée des deux formes constituant le reference to the accompanying drawings in which: - Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the two forms constituting the
pied avant selon l'invention.front leg according to the invention.
- la figure 2 est une vue perspective du pied avant selon l'invention. - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the front leg according to the invention.
La figure 1 représente une perspective éclatée d'un pied avant selon Figure 1 shows an exploded perspective of a front leg according to
l'invention possédant une partie servant de coupelle d'amortisseur. the invention having a portion serving as a shock absorber cup.
Le pied avant selon l'invention est constitué de deux formes complémentaires, extérieure 1 et intérieure 2, se fondant en une seule structure. Ces formes peuvent être, à titre d'exemple, en tôle d'acier ou The front leg according to the invention consists of two complementary shapes, exterior 1 and interior 2, merging into a single structure. These forms can be, for example, sheet steel or
d'aluminium emboutie.stamped aluminum.
La première forme extérieure 1 se compose de trois zones. Une première zone 12 est un demi-montant extérieur sensiblement vertical et constitue l'extérieur du pied avant de la structure d'un véhicule. Ce demi-montant extérieur 12 est prolongé à son extrémité supérieure par une deuxième zone composée d'un demi-longeron extérieur 13 situé dans un plan The first external shape 1 is made up of three zones. A first zone 12 is a substantially vertical exterior half-upright and constitutes the exterior of the front leg of the structure of a vehicle. This external half-upright 12 is extended at its upper end by a second zone composed of an external half-spar 13 located in a plane
sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe dudit demi-montant. Ainsi, le demi- substantially perpendicular to the axis of said half upright. So the half
montant extérieur 12 et le demi-longeron extérieur 13 ont sensiblement la external upright 12 and the external half-spar 13 have substantially the
forme d'un L renversé.shape of an inverted L.
Le demi-longeron extérieur 13 est relié, à son extrémité libre, à une troisième zone composée d'une coupelle d'amortisseur 14, située sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan défini par le demi-longeron The outer half-spar 13 is connected, at its free end, to a third zone composed of a shock absorber cup 14, located substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the half-spar
extérieur 13 et le demi-montant extérieur 12. outside 13 and the outside half upright 12.
La coupelle d'amortisseur 14 est percée d'un trou sensiblement circulaire permettant de recevoir les moyens de fixation de l'ensemble de suspension avant du véhicule, connus en soi et non représentés. Cette coupelle comporte également une bordure 16 qui forme un angle droit, The damper cup 14 is pierced with a substantially circular hole for receiving the means for fixing the front suspension assembly of the vehicle, known per se and not shown. This cup also has a border 16 which forms a right angle,
dirigé vers le bas, avec le plan de ladite coupelle. directed downward, with the plane of said cup.
La deuxième forme intérieure 2 se compose de deux zones. Une première zone constitue un demi-montant intérieur 22 ayant sensiblement la forme d'un profil en U orienté selon une direction sensiblement verticale. Les ailes 22a et 22b du U sont dirigées vers l'extérieur du véhicule. Lors de l'assemblage du demi-montant intérieur 22 et du demi-montant extérieur 12, les ailes 22a et 22b du U viennent en appui contre le demi-montant extérieur afin de former un profil creux à section sensiblement rectangulaire. Une deuxième zone se compose d'un demi- longeron intérieur 23 raccordé à l'extrémité supérieure du demi-montant intérieur 22, selon une direction The second interior shape 2 consists of two zones. A first zone constitutes an internal half-upright 22 having substantially the shape of a U-shaped profile oriented in a substantially vertical direction. The wings 22a and 22b of the U are directed towards the outside of the vehicle. During the assembly of the internal half-upright 22 and the external half-upright 12, the wings 22a and 22b of the U come to bear against the external half-upright in order to form a hollow profile with a substantially rectangular section. A second zone consists of an interior half-spar 23 connected to the upper end of the interior half-upright 22, in a direction
sensiblement perpendiculaire audit demi-montant intérieur. Le demi- substantially perpendicular to said interior half upright. The half
longeron intérieur 23 forme un L complémentaire à celui du demi- inner spar 23 forms an L complementary to that of the half
longeron extérieur 13, ledit demi-longeron intérieur 23 venant fermer ledit outer spar 13, said inner half spar 23 closing said
demi-longeron extérieur 13 le long de la coupelle d'amortisseur 14. outer half-spar 13 along the shock absorber cup 14.
Ainsi, comme représenté à la figure 2, la réunion des deux formes 1 et 2 donne un pied avant de véhicule automobile ayant la forme d'un L, à section creuse sensiblement rectangulaire, se fermant à l'extrémité des demi-longerons 13 et 23, ledit pied étant relié, seulement sur sa partie Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, the union of the two forms 1 and 2 gives a front foot of a motor vehicle having the shape of an L, with a substantially rectangular hollow section, closing at the end of the half-beams 13 and 23, said foot being connected, only on its part
extérieure, à une coupelle d'amortisseur 14. outside, to a shock absorber cup 14.
-4- De cette manière, on crée un pied avant dont la partie extérieure 1 est liée à la coupelle d'amortisseur et dont la partie intérieure 2, non liée à ladite -4- In this way, a front foot is created, the external part 1 of which is linked to the shock absorber cup and the internal part of which 2, which is not linked to said
coupelle d'amortisseur, constitue néanmoins un renfort de cette dernière. shock absorber cup, nevertheless constitutes a reinforcement of the latter.
Une telle structure selon l'invention permet de rassembler trois pièces, un pied avant, un longeron supérieur et une coupelle d'amortisseur, en un seul élément. Cette structure entraine donc une réduction non négligeable Such a structure according to the invention makes it possible to assemble three parts, a front leg, an upper spar and a shock absorber cup, in a single element. This structure therefore results in a significant reduction
des coûts en investissement d'outillage. tool investment costs.
De plus, la structure selon l'invention entraîne également une simplification du montage du véhicule mais aussi une rigidification de In addition, the structure according to the invention also results in a simplification of the mounting of the vehicle but also a stiffening of
l'ensemble recevant les moyens de fixation des suspensions avant. the assembly receiving the means for fixing the front suspensions.
L'invention ne se limrite pas au seul mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit mais englobe des variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, le pied selon l'invention est également utilisable pour une suspension arrière de véhicule automobile. -5- The invention is not limited to the single embodiment which has just been described but encompasses alternative embodiments. Thus, the foot according to the invention can also be used for a rear suspension of a motor vehicle. -5-
