On a représenté à la figure 1, un mode de réalisation préférée de la présente invention appliquée à une ridelle de pavillon 1 d'un véhicule automobile 2. - Figure 1 is a partial side view of a motor vehicle equipped with a side panel provided with a locking mechanism according to the invention; and - Figures 2 to 5 are views on a larger scale of the fixing mechanism according to the invention illustrating the different phases of implementation of the movable member in the fixed member. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention applied to a side wall 1 of a motor vehicle 2.
Ce véhicule automobile est constitué de deux ridelles de pavillon 1 amovibles destinées à être fixée respectivement sur les côtés latéraux du véhicule par l'intermédiaire des extrémités libre de chacune des ridelles 1. This motor vehicle is made up of two removable roof rails 1 intended to be fixed respectively to the lateral sides of the vehicle via the free ends of each of the rails 1.
A l'avant du véhicule, chacune des ridelles 1 est pourvue d'un système classique de verrouillage avec l'un des montants du pare- brise du type à grenouillère. At the front of the vehicle, each of the drop sides 1 is provided with a conventional locking system with one of the uprights of the windscreen of the latch type.
Selon la présente invention, l'arrière de chacune des ridelles amovibles 1 -ou élément mobile- est pourvu d'un mécanisme de fixation 3 avec la structure du véhicule -ou élément fixe. According to the present invention, the rear of each of the removable drop sides 1 - or mobile element - is provided with a fixing mechanism 3 with the structure of the vehicle - or fixed element.
Ce mécanisme 3 est constitué d'une part sur la partie fixe d'un logement 4 agencé, avantageusement dans notre mode de réalisation, à l'intérieur de l'aile arrière 5 du véhicule dans lequel sont fixés par exemple par soudure deux axes 6, 7 transversaux, parallèles et disposés dans des plans horizontaux différents et d'autre part d'une partie saillante 8 solidaire de la partie mobile 9 destinée à coopérer avec au moins un des axes 6, 7. Cette partie saillante 8 est munie également d'un moyen de verrouillage 9 avec l'un des axes qui est désarmable sous l'action d'un loquet 10 porté par l'élément mobile 1. This mechanism 3 consists on the one hand on the fixed part of a housing 4 arranged, advantageously in our embodiment, inside the rear wing 5 of the vehicle in which are fixed for example by welding two axes 6 , 7 transverse, parallel and arranged in different horizontal planes and on the other hand a projecting part 8 integral with the movable part 9 intended to cooperate with at least one of the axes 6, 7. This projecting part 8 is also provided with 'A locking means 9 with one of the axes which is disarmable under the action of a latch 10 carried by the movable element 1.
La partie saillante 8 est composée d'une platine verticale qui présente deux bras rigide 8a, 8b formants sensiblement les branches d'un V inversé. L'une des branches de ce V , avantageusement la branche dirigée vers l'arrière du véhicule en considérant les figures, est plus longue que l'autre de manière à guider le montage de la ridelle 1. The projecting part 8 is composed of a vertical plate which has two rigid arms 8a, 8b substantially forming the branches of an inverted V. One of the branches of this V, advantageously the branch directed towards the rear of the vehicle when considering the figures, is longer than the other so as to guide the mounting of the drop side 1.
Cette branche 8b désigné comme la branche la plus longue présente à son extrémité libre une découpe 13 formant logement pour l'un des axes, comme visible sur les figures. This branch 8b designated as the longest branch has at its free end a cutout 13 forming a housing for one of the axes, as visible in the figures.
On notera que la branche 8b est munie d'une rampe 14 qui est constituée par la forme de la branche qui présente une courbure destinée à assister l'opérateur lors du montage. Note that the branch 8b is provided with a ramp 14 which is formed by the shape of the branch which has a curvature intended to assist the operator during assembly.
Cette platine 8 porte un verrou 9 apte à pivoter autour d'un axe transversal 11 solidaire de ladite platine 8 et est maintenu en appui sur l'une des branches du V par l'intermédiaire d'un fil de ressort 12 enroulé autour de l'axe 11 et dont les extrémités libres 12a, 12b sont respectivement solidaires de la platine 8 et du verrou 9, comme visible sur les figures 2 à 5. This plate 8 carries a lock 9 capable of pivoting about a transverse axis 11 integral with said plate 8 and is held in abutment on one of the branches of the V by means of a spring wire 12 wound around the axis 11 and whose free ends 12a, 12b are respectively secured to the plate 8 and the latch 9, as visible in FIGS. 2 to 5.
Le verrou est rendu solidaire d'un loquet articulé autour de l'axe transversal, comme visible à la figure 5, permettant ainsi à un opérateur de déverrouiller le mécanisme de verrouillage afin d'enlever la ridelle du véhicule et obtenir un véhicule entièrement découvert, dirigé par le terme de cabriolet. The lock is made integral with a latch articulated around the transverse axis, as visible in FIG. 5, thus allowing an operator to unlock the locking mechanism in order to remove the drop side from the vehicle and obtain a fully uncovered vehicle, led by the term convertible.
Le montage de la partie arrière de la ridelle sur la caisse du véhicule va maintenant être expliqué en relation avec les figures 2 à 5. The mounting of the rear part of the drop side on the vehicle body will now be explained in relation to FIGS. 2 to 5.
La partie saillante 8 du mécanisme est présentée verticalement dans le logement mettant en butée la branche 8b la plus longue du V contre l'un 7 des axes 6, 7, comme illustré sur la figure 2. L'utilisateur est alors obligé d'effectuer un mouvement de rotation à la ridelle afin de permettre à la branche 8b de glisser par l'intermédiaire de la rampe 14 sur l'axe 7 jusqu'à ce que cette dernière ait son extrémité libre en contact avec le fond du logement 4 (Fig. 3). Le glissement de la partie saillante 8 de la ridelle 1 s'effectue dans le fond du logement 4 et est guidé par la forme de la branche qui est contact avec l'un des axes 6, 7. Le glissement dans le fond du logement se termine dès lors que la branche 8b de la platine 8 rencontre le second axe 6 (Figure 4). A ce moment, une seconde rotation est nécessaire afin d'engager ce second axe 6 dans l'ouverture de la branche, ce qui entraîne également une poussée sur le verrou 9 à l'encontre du ressort 12 (Fig. 5). Dès lors la ridelle 1 est mise en place et verrouiller dans sa partie arrière, il convient alors d'assurer la fixation de celle-ci dans la partie avant avec un système à grenouillère tel qu'il est classique de rencontrer par exemple dans les fixations de capotes de cabriolets. Le démontage de la ridelle, s'effectue de manière aisée en libérant préalablement la fixation avant de la ridelle ainsi que l'axe 6 du verrou 9 par l'intermédiaire du loquet 10. Le démontage s'effectue alors en inversant les opérations décrites ci-dessus. on comprend à la lecture de la description ci-dessus que le mécanisme de verrouillage selon la présente invention est très simple à réaliser et permet avantageusement une mise en place aisée avec une assistance à la mise en place par la forme de la branche 8b de la partie saillante. The projecting part 8 of the mechanism is presented vertically in the housing abutting the longest branch 8b of the V against one 7 of the axes 6, 7, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The user is then obliged to perform a rotation movement with the drop side in order to allow the branch 8b to slide via the ramp 14 on the axis 7 until the latter has its free end in contact with the bottom of the housing 4 (FIG. 3). The sliding of the protruding part 8 of the drop side 1 takes place in the bottom of the housing 4 and is guided by the shape of the branch which is in contact with one of the axes 6, 7. The sliding in the bottom of the housing is ends when the branch 8b of the plate 8 meets the second axis 6 (Figure 4). At this time, a second rotation is necessary in order to engage this second axis 6 in the opening of the branch, which also causes a push on the latch 9 against the spring 12 (Fig. 5). Therefore the drop side 1 is put in place and locked in its rear part, it is then necessary to ensure the fixing of the latter in the front part with a latching system such as it is conventional to meet for example in the fasteners convertible top. The disassembly of the side panel is carried out in an easy manner by releasing beforehand the front attachment of the side panel as well as the axis 6 of the lock 9 via the latch 10. The disassembly is then carried out by reversing the operations described below. -above. it will be understood from reading the description above that the locking mechanism according to the present invention is very simple to produce and advantageously allows easy installation with assistance in setting up by the shape of the branch 8b of the protruding part.
Le mécanisme selon la présente invention trouve également avantageusement son application pour la fixation d'un hard-top ou d'un porte- bagages. The mechanism according to the present invention also advantageously finds its application for fixing a hard-top or a luggage rack.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un mode de réalisation particulier elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it includes all the technical equivalents of the means described.
