Description
La présente invention concerne un élément de construction et une face avant pour véhicule automobile muni de cet élément. The present invention relates to a construction element and a front face for a motor vehicle provided with this element.
On connaît déjà dans l'état de la technique, notamment d'après EP-A- 0.370.342, un élément de construction du type comprenant une armature métallique muni d'un corps creux, sensiblement profilé, de section transversale délimitée par un contour ouvert, et des nervures de renfort en matière plastique logées dans le corps d'armature. Already known in the state of the art, in particular from EP-A-0.370.342, a construction element of the type comprising a metal reinforcement provided with a hollow body, substantially profiled, of cross section defined by an outline open, and reinforcing ribs of plastic material housed in the frame body.
Un élément de construction de ce type est avantageusement utilisé pour la fabrication d'une face avant de véhicule automobile. Les nervures de renfort permettent de rigidifier efficacement l'élément de construction et la face avant. Toutefois, si l'on souhait augmenter davantage la rigidité de la face avant , on est généralement conduit, soit à augmenter l'épaisseur des nervures ou du corps d'armature, soit à rajouter localement dans cette face avant des parties métalliques. A construction element of this type is advantageously used for the manufacture of a front face of a motor vehicle. The reinforcing ribs make it possible to effectively stiffen the construction element and the front face. However, if one wishes to further increase the rigidity of the front face, it is generally necessary to increase the thickness of the ribs or the reinforcing body, or to add locally in this front face of the metal parts.
L'invention a pour but d'augmenter la rigidité d'un élément de construction du type précité avec des moyens simples et faciles à fabriquer. The invention aims to increase the rigidity of a construction element of the aforementioned type with simple means and easy to manufacture.

According to other characteristics of this element - the cover is connected to the frame body by a hinge plastic material material with the reinforcing ribs; it comprises complementary means for hooking the lid in the closed position, carried by this lid and an extension of the reinforcing ribs; - The attachment means comprise at least one screw, extending through a passage opening in the cover, screwed into a hole in the extension of the reinforcing ribs; - The attachment means comprise at least one latching lug, carried by the extension of the reinforcing ribs, cooperating with a latching orifice formed in the cover; the reinforcing ribs are connected to the reinforcing body by anchoring portions of these ribs extending through respective anchoring orifices formed in the reinforcing body, each anchoring portion extending to the reinforcement body; outside the frame body by an anchor head in the frame body; the edge of the anchoring orifices is folded towards the inside of the reinforcing body, the anchoring heads flush with the external surface of the reinforcing body; the cross section of the reinforcing body is generally U-shaped.
L'invention a également pour objet une face avant pour véhicule automobile, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend un élément de construction tel que défini ci-dessus. The invention also relates to a front face for a motor vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a construction element as defined above.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'une face avant de véhicule automobile munie d'un élément de construction selon l'invention dont le couvercle est en position de fermeture ; - les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en coupe suivant la ligne 2-2 de la figure 1 montrant le couvercle de l'élément de construction dans des positions d'accès à l'intérieur du corps d'armature et de fermeture du contour de ce corps d'armature, respectivement ; - la figure 4 est une vue suivant la flèche 4 de la figure 2 ; - la figure 5 est une vue de détail de l'élément de construction montrant des moyens complémentaires d'accrochage du couvercle en position de fermeture du type à encliquetage. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the drawings in which - FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a front face of a motor vehicle equipped with a construction element according to the invention whose lid is in the closed position; FIGS. 2 and 3 are sectional views along line 2-2 of FIG. 1 showing the cover of the construction element in access positions inside the frame body and closure of the contour of this frame body, respectively; - Figure 4 is a view along the arrow 4 of Figure 2; - Figure 5 is a detail view of the construction element showing complementary means for hooking the cover in the latching type of the latching type.
On a représenté schématiquement sur la figure 1 une face avant pour véhicule automobile, désignée par la référence générale 10. FIG. 1 shows schematically a front face for a motor vehicle, designated by the general reference 10.
Cette face avant 10 comprend un élément de construction 12 selon l'invention formant, par exemple, une partie supérieure de la face avant. This front face 10 comprises a construction element 12 according to the invention forming, for example, an upper portion of the front face.
En se référant aux figures 2 à 4, on voit que l'élément de construction 12 comprend une armature métallique 14 munie d'un corps creux 16, sensiblement profilé, de section transversale délimitée par un contour ouvert (à gauche en considérant la figure 2). Dans l'exemple illustré, la section transversale du corps 16 d'armature a une forme générale en U. Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, it can be seen that the construction element 12 comprises a metal reinforcement 14 provided with a substantially profiled hollow body 16 of cross section delimited by an open contour (on the left considering FIG. 2 ). In the example illustrated, the cross section of the body 16 has a generally U-shaped frame.
L'élément de construction 12 comprend également des nervures de renfort classiques 18 en matière plastique, logées dans le corps 16 d'armature. Les nervures 18 sont disposées de façon croisée dans le corps 16 d'armature. Les nervures de renfort 18 sont reliées au corps 16 d'armature par des parties d'ancrage de ces nervures 18 s'étendant à travers des orifices d'ancrage 20 respectifs ménagés dans le corps 16 d'armature. De préférence, le bord des orifices d'ancrage 20 est replié vers l'intérieur du corps 16 d'armature. Chaque partie d'ancrage de nervures se prolonge à l'extérieur du corps 16 d'armature par une tête 22 d'ancrage dans le corps 16. De préférence, les têtes d'ancrage 22 affleurent la surface externe du corps 16 d'armature. The construction element 12 also comprises conventional reinforcing ribs 18 made of plastic, housed in the body 16 of reinforcement. The ribs 18 are arranged crosswise in the body 16 of reinforcement. The reinforcing ribs 18 are connected to the reinforcing body 16 by anchoring portions of these ribs 18 extending through respective anchoring orifices 20 formed in the body 16 of reinforcement. Preferably, the edge of the anchoring orifices 20 is folded towards the inside of the body 16 of reinforcement. Each rib anchoring part extends outside the body 16 of reinforcement by a head 22 anchoring in the body 16. Preferably, the anchor heads 22 are flush with the outer surface of the body 16 of reinforcement .
L'armature métallique 14 comprend également un couvercle métallique 24 déplaçable entre une position d'accès à l'intérieur du corps 16 d'armature, telle que représentée sur les figures 2 et 4, et une position de fermeture du contour de ce corps 16 d'armature, telle que représentée sur la figure 3. The metal armature 14 also comprises a metal cover 24 movable between an access position inside the body 16 of reinforcement, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, and a closed position of the contour of this body 16 reinforcement, as shown in FIG.
Le couvercle 24 est relié au corps 16 d'armature par un film en matière plastique, formant une charnière 26, venu de matière avec les nervures 18. Le couvercle 24 est accroché en position de fermeture sur le corps 16 d'armature à l'aide de moyens complémentaires 28 portés par ce couvercle 24 et un prolongement 30 des nervures de renfort 18, faisant saillie à l'extérieur du corps 16 d'armature. The cover 24 is connected to the frame body 16 by a plastic film, forming a hinge 26, integral with the ribs 18. The cover 24 is hooked in the closed position on the frame body 16 to the using complementary means 28 carried by the cover 24 and an extension 30 of the reinforcing ribs 18, projecting outside the body 16 of reinforcement.
Ces moyens d'accrochage 28 comprennent, par exemple, au moins une vis 32, s'étendant à travers un orifice de passage 34 ménagé dans le couvercle, vissée dans un trou 36 ménagé dans le prolongement 30 (voir figures 2 et 3). These attachment means 28 comprise, for example, at least one screw 32, extending through a through hole 34 formed in the cover, screwed into a hole 36 formed in the extension 30 (see Figures 2 and 3).
Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 5, les moyens d'accrochage 28 comprennent au moins une patte d'encliquetage 38, venue de matière avec le prolongement 30, coopérant avec un orifice d'encliquetage 40 ménagé dans le couvercle 24. In the variant shown in FIG. 5, the fastening means 28 comprise at least one latching lug 38 integrally formed with the extension 30, cooperating with a latching orifice 40 formed in the cover 24.
L'élément de construction 12 selon l'invention est très simple à fabriquer. En effet, les nervures de renforts 18 et la charnière 26 en plastique peuvent être fabriquées simplement par surmoulage, sur le corps 16 et le couvercle 24. The building element 12 according to the invention is very simple to manufacture. Indeed, the reinforcement ribs 18 and the plastic hinge 26 can be manufactured simply by overmoulding, on the body 16 and the cover 24.
A la fin de l'opération de surmoulage, le couvercle 24 est en position d'accès à l'intérieur du corps 16. II suffit ensuite de fermer et accrocher le couvercle 24 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3 pour obtenir l'élément de construction tel qu'il est destiné à être utilisé , par exemple dans la face avant 10. At the end of the overmoulding operation, the cover 24 is in the access position inside the body 16. It is then sufficient to close and hook the cover 24 as shown in FIG. 3 to obtain the element of construction as it is intended to be used, for example in the front face 10.
Le couvercle 24, en position de fermeture, constitue avec le corps 16 d'armature, une armature creuse sensiblement profilée de section transversale délimitée par un contour fermé. La combinaison de ce contour fermé avec les nervures de renfort 18 surmoulées à l'intérieur du corps 16 permet d'obtenir un élément de construction 12 particulièrement rigide. The lid 24, in the closed position, constitutes with the body 16 of reinforcement, a hollow frame substantially profiled cross section delimited by a closed contour. The combination of this closed contour with the reinforcing ribs 18 overmolded inside the body 16 provides a particularly rigid construction element 12.
Bien entendu, l'élément de construction selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour la fabrication d'objets très variés, autres qu'une face avant, à savoir diverses parties du corps ou des ouvrants d'un véhicule automobile.Of course, the construction element according to the invention can be used for the manufacture of very varied objects, other than a front face, namely various body parts or openings of a motor vehicle.
