Abstract
Description
La présente invention, concerne un dispositif, permettant de moduler à souhaits, le volume utile de remplissage, disponible à l'intérieur du coffre bagages d'un véhicule automobile, de façon à stabiliser au mieux la charge transportée. The present invention relates to a device, making it possible to adjust, as desired, the useful filling volume, available inside the luggage compartment of a motor vehicle, so as to best stabilize the load transported.
Il n'existe pas de mécanisme similaire connu à ce jour, on peut toutefois mentionner les pratiques qui consistent à arrimer ou bloquer la charge, au moyen d'accessoires hétérogènes, qui participent de la mme ambition, à la différence fondamentale près, que la présente invention ne nécessite plus de recourir à quelques accessoires additionnels que ce soit, au demeurant embarrassants en dehors de leur période d'utilisation, pour obtenir l'espace intérieur polyvalent désiré, vu la nature hétéroclite des objets, pièces ou ustensiles amenés à prendre place à l'intérieur du coffre à bagages. There is no similar mechanism known to date, one can however mention the practices which consist in securing or blocking the load, by means of heterogeneous accessories, which share the same ambition, with the fundamental difference close, that the present invention no longer requires the use of any additional accessories whatsoever, which are moreover embarrassing outside their period of use, in order to obtain the desired polyvalent interior space, given the heterogeneous nature of the objects, parts or utensils brought to take place inside the luggage compartment.
Le dispositif selon l'invention, permet de remédier à cet inconvénient, en alliant les qualités de légèreté, inaltérabilité et rigidité de l'aluminium. II présente en effet, selon une première caractéristique, deux plans verticaux ainsi façonnés qu'ils peuvent se fondre dans l'ergonomie générale du coffre, après retrait préalable des éventuels éléments d'habillage latéraux droit et gauche, aidés en cela, par le fait d'tres parés d'un revtement semblable à celui du plancher, dotés chacun d'une poignée mobile, commandant simultanément le verrouillage/déverrouillage du système et le déploiement des parois sur le plan horizontal, dans un axe concomitant parallèle à l'axe transversal du véhicule, provoqué par simple traction ou contraction, en vertu des besoins du manipulant. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback, by combining the qualities of lightness, unalterability and rigidity of aluminum. It has in fact, according to a first characteristic, two vertical planes so shaped that they can blend into the general ergonomics of the boot, after prior removal of any right and left side trim elements, aided in this by the fact of ones adorned with a coating similar to that of the floor, each provided with a movable handle, simultaneously controlling the locking / unlocking of the system and the deployment of the walls on the horizontal plane, in a concomitant axis parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle, caused by simple traction or contraction, by virtue of the needs of the operator.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, les cotes transcrites sur les dessins joints sont susceptibles de légères modifications, sujettes aux propres caractéristiques de conception du coffre à bagages du véhicule hôte. Enfin, il est bon de préciser que dans le cas présent, seule la force musculaire de l'Homme est requise. Il est toutefois concevable de recourir à toute autre forme d'énergie, notamment électrique, afin de parvenir à un niveau de confort de manipulation accru. According to particular embodiments, the dimensions transcribed on the accompanying drawings are liable to slight modifications, subject to the own design characteristics of the luggage compartment of the host vehicle. Finally, it is good to specify that in the present case, only the muscular strength of the Man is required. However, it is conceivable to use any other form of energy, in particular electrical energy, in order to achieve an increased level of handling comfort.
Les dessins annexés, illustrent l'invention à travers son implantation côté droit du coffre à bagages uniquement, il est facile d'imaginer le dispositif symétrique côté gauche complétant éventuellement la présente invention :
La figure 1, représente de face le plan vertical avant de l'invention, système de verrouillage enclenche.The attached drawings illustrate the invention through its location on the right side of the luggage compartment only, it is easy to imagine the symmetrical device on the left side possibly supplementing the present invention:
Figure 1 shows the front vertical plane of the invention from the front, the locking system engages.
La figure 2, représente de face le plan vertical arrière de l'invention, châssis tubulaire en position totalement déployée.FIG. 2 shows the rear vertical plane of the invention from the front, the tubular chassis in the fully deployed position.
La figure 3, représente la vue suivant F, de la globalité du dispositif de l'invention, châssis tubulaire en position totalement déployée.Figure 3 shows the view along F, of the entire device of the invention, tubular frame in the fully deployed position.
La figure 4, représente une coupe partielle A. A. de l'invention, en position totalement déployée. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte huit segments tubulaires creux (1), incorporant chacun en une extrémité un embout d'articulation usiné dans la masse (2), riveté, qu'il convient d'associer au moyen d'un axe (3), avec l'un des huit éléments de fixation soudés (4), eux-mmes placés uniformément et pour moitié dans chaques coins respectifs du plan vertical avant (18) et du plan vertical arrière (19). Ce dernier, présente sur sa partie postérieure, un jeu d'entretoises (20) préalablement formées de manière à garantir le positionnement et l'ancrage de l'ensemble du dispositif, solidarisé au moyen de rivets à expansion étanches à la structure latérale du coffre, préalablement débarrassée de ses éventuels éléments d'habillage. D'autre part, un embout support (5) également usiné dans la masse, accueille l'extrémité de l'axe rigide (6). II est à noter, que la liaison entre les deux axes rigides, doit nécessairement présenter un léger jeu, obtenu grâce à l'emploi d'anneaux élastiques, de manière à rendre possible la rotation indispensable à la correction constante d'alignement, due aux multiples positions adoptées et impératives, pour atteindre un fonctionnement correct des éléments solidaires amenés à compléter le dispositif. Les chapes soudées (7) à mme les axes précédemment cités, ont pour objet de sustenter la pièce maîtresse (8) par l'intermédiaire des biellettes (9), solidarisées uniformément, maintenues par anneaux élastiques et d'en provoquer la rotation idoine proportionnellement inhérente à l'écartement ou bien au rapprochement des axes.Figure 4 shows a partial section A. A. of the invention, in the fully deployed position. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises eight hollow tubular segments (1), each incorporating at one end an articulated end piece machined in the mass (2), riveted, which should be associated by means of an axis (3), with one of the eight welded fastening elements (4), themselves placed uniformly and for half in each respective corner of the front vertical plane (18) and the rear vertical plane (19). The latter, present on its rear part, a set of spacers (20) previously formed so as to guarantee the positioning and anchoring of the entire device, secured by means of waterproof expansion rivets to the lateral structure of the boot , previously rid of any cladding elements. On the other hand, a support end piece (5) also machined in the mass, receives the end of the rigid axis (6). It should be noted that the connection between the two rigid axes must necessarily have a slight clearance, obtained through the use of elastic rings, so as to make possible the rotation essential for the constant correction of alignment, due to multiple positions adopted and imperative, to achieve correct operation of the integral elements brought to complete the device. The welded yokes (7) to the same axes mentioned above, are intended to support the centerpiece (8) via the rods (9), uniformly secured, maintained by elastic rings and to cause the appropriate rotation proportionally inherent in the spacing or the approximation of the axes.
La pièce maîtresse a pour objet d'assurer l'ajustement adéquat du système réversible, au travers de la multitude de positions potentiellement envisageables, pour une utilisation rationnelle, que la présente invention est en mesure d'offrir au manipulant. Le crabot (10), au moment du verrouillage du système, vient s'inscrire dans les dentures se présentant face à lui, usinées dans la masse sur le pourtour externe complet de la platine dentelée (11), mobile autour de son axe, créant ainsi les conditions du blocage mécanique. A contrario, en cas de déverrouillage du système, le crabot, se désolidarise des dentures, permettant à nouveau et chronologiquement, la rotation de la platine dentelée, de la pièce maîtresse, le mouvement ordonné des biellettes, des axes rigidificateurs, des segments tubulaires creux constituant le châssis articulé et enfin, le déplacement du plan vertical avant, soit vers le centre du coffre, soit vers son extérieur, en fonction de la direction de la force horizontale imprimée par l'utilisateur sur la poignée (12), sise sur la face visible du plan vertical avant, complètement inscrite au repos dans son carter de protection (13), dont un jeu de ressorts interdit tout déverrouillage intempestif. The object of the centerpiece is to ensure the adequate adjustment of the reversible system, through the multitude of potentially conceivable positions, for rational use, that the present invention is able to offer to the manipulator. The dog clutch (10), when the system is locked, fits into the teeth facing it, machined in the mass on the complete outer periphery of the serrated plate (11), movable around its axis, creating thus the conditions of the mechanical blocking. Conversely, in the event of unlocking of the system, the dog clutch disengages from the teeth, allowing again and chronologically, the rotation of the serrated plate, of the centerpiece, the orderly movement of the rods, stiffening axes, hollow tubular segments constituting the articulated frame and finally, the displacement of the front vertical plane, either towards the center of the trunk, or towards its exterior, depending on the direction of the horizontal force impressed by the user on the handle (12), located on the visible side of the front vertical plane, completely registered at rest in its protective casing (13), of which a set of springs prevents any untimely unlocking.
Afin de satisfaire aux contraintes de variations importantes d'écartement, entre la pièce maîtresse et la platine dentelée, vecteurs du couple de verrouillage/déverrouillage, les bilames (14), s'articulent en leurs extrémités mitoyennes, au moyen d'un petit axe (15), conditionnant ainsi le lien à géométrie variable requis. Les extrémités opposées laissées vacantes, solidarisées à l'identique, se partagent respectivement pour moitié, entre la platine dentelée accouplée à la poignée et la pièce maîtresse. In order to meet the constraints of large variations in spacing, between the centerpiece and the serrated plate, vectors of the locking / unlocking couple, the bimetallic strips (14), are articulated at their joint ends, by means of a small axis. (15), thus conditioning the link with variable geometry required. The opposite ends left vacant, joined identically, are divided respectively for half, between the serrated plate coupled to the handle and the centerpiece.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 1, le plan vertical avant propose, suite aux opérations de pliage appropriées, un contour calqué sur les cotes relevées au niveau de la carrosserie du flanc latéral droit, délimitant le coffre à bagages du véhicule hôte. Le rebord intérieur, tout en apportant une touche de finition, protège l'intégrité du mécanisme, en position de repli maximal. De plus, il offre dans sa partie inférieure, une possibilité d'ancrage pour les axes de roulement, composants essentiels du jeu de roulettes (16), propre à faciliter le déploiement du système, en annihilant les frottements sur le plancher. Par la mme, le profil de carrossage du seuil de chargement du coffre, comportant un galbe, la pièce tampon (17), logée dans son carter de protection, solidarisé au plan vertical avant, par l'emploi de rivets à expansion, doit épouser la dépression, conformément à l'action du jeu de ressorts de compression inclus en son sein, afin de remplir sa fonction d'étanchéité lors de toutes translations. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the front vertical plane offers, following the appropriate folding operations, a contour patterned on the dimensions noted at the level of the body of the right lateral flank, delimiting the luggage compartment of the host vehicle. The interior rim, while providing a finishing touch, protects the integrity of the mechanism, in the fully folded position. In addition, it offers in its lower part, an anchoring possibility for the rolling axes, essential components of the set of rollers (16), capable of facilitating the deployment of the system, by eliminating friction on the floor. In the same way, the camber profile of the boot loading threshold, comprising a curve, the buffer part (17), housed in its protective casing, secured to the vertical front plane, by the use of expansion rivets, must match depression, in accordance with the action of the set of compression springs included therein, in order to fulfill its sealing function during all translations.
Selon une variante non illustrée, l'adjonction d'une réglette auto-bloquante, télescopique, coulissant perpendiculairement à un rail fixé au choix sur l'un des deux plans avant potentiellement disponible, parallèlement au plancher du coffre, facilement escamotable par simple rabattement, permet d'offrir à l'utilisateur, les avantages combinés du blocage longitudinal et transversal de la charge transportée. According to a variant not illustrated, the addition of a self-locking, telescopic strip, sliding perpendicularly to a rail fixed as desired on one of the two potentially available front planes, parallel to the floor of the boot, easily retractable by simple folding down, offers the user the combined advantages of longitudinal and transverse blocking of the load transported.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, puisque devant tre personnalisé à chacune des gammes proposées par un constructeur, en vue de l'installation sur un véhicule automobile répondant au segment de marché petite berline familiale , on relève pour le dispositif complet une largeur de 75 cm, une hauteur de 40 cm, une épaisseur de 2,5 cm en position complètement rétractée et 52 cm en totale extension. By way of nonlimiting example, since it must be personalized to each of the ranges offered by a manufacturer, with a view to installation on a motor vehicle meeting the market segment for small family sedans, the width is noted to be 75 cm, a height of 40 cm, a thickness of 2.5 cm in the fully retracted position and 52 cm in full extension.
Le dispositif selon l'invention, est particulièrement destiné à enrichir la gamme des accessoires de sécurité et de confort proposés par les professionnels de l'automobile, que ce soit en monte d'origine ou au titre des options. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to enrich the range of safety and comfort accessories offered by automotive professionals, whether in original equipment or as options.
