Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un toit escamotable dans le coffre arrière d'un véhicule. The present invention relates to a retractable roof in the rear boot of a vehicle.
Un toit escamotable permet de transformer un véhicule automobile du type coupe en un véhicule du type cabriolet. A retractable roof makes it possible to transform a motor vehicle of the coupe type into a vehicle of the convertible type.
On connaît notamment par des brevets au nom de la demanderesse, des toits escamotables dans le coffre arrière d'un véhicule. Patents in the name of the applicant are known in particular for retractable roofs in the rear trunk of a vehicle.
La figure 1 annexée illustre un toit escamotable du type ci-dessus. Figure 1 attached illustrates a retractable roof of the above type.
Ce toit escamotable comprend un élément avant rigide 1 relié de façon articulée en 4 à un élément arrière rigide 2 dont l'extrémité arrière est articulée en 3 au châssis du véhicule. Ces deux éléments 1, 2 sont mobiles entre une position dans laquelle ces deux éléments 1, 2 recouvrent l'habitacle du véhicule et une position dans laquelle ces éléments (voir 1' et 2') sont repliés à l'intérieur du coffre arrière 10 dans une position sensiblement parallèle au couvercle 7 du coffre. This retractable roof comprises a rigid front element 1 connected in an articulated manner at 4 to a rigid rear element 2 whose rear end is articulated at 3 to the chassis of the vehicle. These two elements 1, 2 are movable between a position in which these two elements 1, 2 cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a position in which these elements (see 1 ′ and 2 ′) are folded back inside the rear boot 10 in a position substantially parallel to the lid 7 of the trunk.
Le déplacement entre les deux positions ci-dessus, des éléments 1, 2 est commandé au moyen d'un bras 5 articulé au châssis en 6 et à l'élément avant en 9. pivotement du bras 5 est commandé par exemple par un moteur relie à l'axe Les articulations 4, 9, 6, 3 forment un parallèle déformable. The displacement between the two positions above, of the elements 1, 2 is controlled by means of an arm 5 articulated to the chassis at 6 and to the front element at 9. pivoting of the arm 5 is controlled for example by a motor connected to the axis The joints 4, 9, 6, 3 form a deformable parallel.
L'élément arrière 2 porte une lunette arrière qui est habituellement fixée dans le prolongement de la surface extérieure de l'élément arrière. The rear element 2 carries a rear window which is usually fixed in the extension of the external surface of the rear element.
La figure 1 montre que dans la position de rangement des éléments 1, 2 il subsiste à l'intérieur du coffre 10, une distance réduite F entre le seuil arrière 8 de chargement du coffre et le bord inférieur de l'élément 2' et une hauteur réduite G entre ce dernier et le fond du coffre. Figure 1 shows that in the storage position of the elements 1, 2 there remains inside the trunk 10, a reduced distance F between the rear threshold 8 for loading the trunk and the lower edge of the element 2 'and a reduced height G between the latter and the bottom of the boot.
Le de la présente invention est d'augmenter les distance et hauteur dessus afin de faciliter l'accès des bagages et d'augmenter le volume disponible à l'intérieur du coffre lorsque les éléments du toit sont rangés à l'intérieur de ce dernier. The object of the present invention is to increase the distance and height above in order to facilitate access to the luggage and to increase the volume available inside the boot when the roof elements are stored inside the latter.
Suivant l'invention, le toit escamotable est caractérisé en ce que la lunette arrière est reliée à l'élément arrière par des moyens tels que lors du déplacement cet élément vers le coffre arrière, la lunette arrière puisse se dégager de surface extérieure de l'élément arrière ; cet élément arrière étant constitué deux éléments latéraux formant custode, la lunette arrière occupant tout l'espace compris entre ces deux éléments. According to the invention, the retractable roof is characterized in that the rear window is connected to the rear element by means such that when moving this element towards the rear trunk, the rear window can be released from the outer surface of the rear element; this rear element being made up of two lateral elements forming a quarter panel, the rear window occupying all the space between these two elements.
Grâce à cette disposition, on augmente le distance entre le seuil chargement et l'élément arrière, ainsi que la distance entre celui-ci et le fond coffre. Thanks to this arrangement, the distance between the loading threshold and the rear element is increased, as well as the distance between the latter and the trunk bottom.
De préférence, l'élément arrière est articulé au châssis suivant horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, cet axe horizontal passant par le bord inférieur arrière dudit élément arrière. Preferably, the rear element is articulated to the following horizontal chassis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, this horizontal axis passing through the rear lower edge of said rear element.
Selon une version de l'invention, le bord arrière de la lunette arrière porte à chacune ses extrémités une patte fixe dont l'extrémité est montée pivotante sur ledit axe horizontal. According to a version of the invention, the rear edge of the rear window carries at each of its ends a fixed tab whose end is pivotally mounted on said horizontal axis.
Selon l'une des versions de l'invention, le bord avant de la lunette arrière porte à chacune de ses extrémités un levier dont l'une des extrémités articulée près du bord avant de la lunette et dont l'autre extrémité est articulée à l'élément arrière près du bord avant de celui-ci en un point distant de la surface extérieure de l'élément arrière et adjacent à l'intérieur du véhicule lorsque le toit est fermé. Selon une autre version, lorsque les deux éléments du toit sont repliés à l'intérieur du coffre, l'élément arrière s'étend sous l'élément avant sensiblement parallèlement au fond du coffre et la lunette arrière s'étend au-dessus du bord inférieur de l'élément arrière sensiblement parallèlement à ce bord. According to one of the versions of the invention, the front edge of the rear window carries a lever at each of its ends, one of the ends of which is articulated near the front edge of the window and the other end of which is articulated to the rear element near the front edge thereof at a point distant from the exterior surface of the rear element and adjacent to the interior of the vehicle when the roof is closed. According to another version, when the two roof elements are folded inside the trunk, the rear element extends under the front element substantially parallel to the bottom of the trunk and the rear window extends above the edge lower of the rear element substantially parallel to this edge.
On augmente ainsi notablement la facilité d'accès au coffre arrière ainsi que le volume de chargement de celui-ci. D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après. This significantly increases the ease of access to the rear boot as well as the loading volume thereof. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the description below.

Dans la réalisation de la figure 2, le toit escamotable comporte une lunette arrière 11 qui est reliée à l'élément arrière 2 par des moyens tels que lors du déplacement de cet élément 2 vers le coffre arrière 10, la lunette arrière 11 puisse se déplacer vers le haut en se dégageant de la surface extérieure 2a de l'élément arrière 2, comme montré par la position 11' de cette lunette arrière. L'élément arrière 2 est en fait constitué par deux éléments latéraux formant custode. La lunette arrière 11 occupe tout l'espace compris entre les deux éléments latéraux. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the retractable roof comprises a rear window 11 which is connected to the rear element 2 by means such that when this element 2 is moved towards the rear trunk 10, the rear window 11 can move upwards, emerging from the outer surface 2a of the rear element 2, as shown by the position 11 'of this rear window. The rear element 2 is in fact constituted by two lateral elements forming a quarter panel. The rear window 11 occupies all the space between the two lateral elements.
Comme le montre également la figure 2, l'élément arrière 2 est articulé au châssis suivant un axe horizontal 3 perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal L du véhicule. Cet axe horizontal 3 passe par le bord inférieur arrière 12 de l'élément arrière 2. As also shown in FIG. 2, the rear element 2 is articulated to the chassis along a horizontal axis 3 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the vehicle. This horizontal axis 3 passes through the rear lower edge 12 of the rear element 2.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 2, le bord arrière 11a de la lunette arrière 11 porte à chacune de ses extrémités une patte fixe 13 dont l'extrémité est montée pivotante sur l'axe horizontal 3 (voir également la figure 5). Comme montré par les figures 3 et 4, le bord avant de la lunette arriere 11 porte à chacune ses extrémités un levier 14 dont l'une des extrémités articulée en 15 près bord avant de la lunette 11 et dont l'autre extrémité articulée en 16 à l'élement arrière 2 près du bord avant de celui-ci en un point distant de la surface extérieure de l'élément arrière 2 et adjacent à l'intérieur du véhicule lorsque le toit est fermé. In the example of Figure 2, the rear edge 11a of the rear window 11 carries at each of its ends a fixed tab 13 whose end is pivotally mounted on the horizontal axis 3 (see also Figure 5). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the front edge of the rear window 11 carries at each of its ends a lever 14, one of whose ends hinged at 15 near the front edge of the window 11 and whose other end hinged at 16 to the rear element 2 near the front edge thereof at a point distant from the exterior surface of the rear element 2 and adjacent to the interior of the vehicle when the roof is closed.
Les deux articulations 15, 16 du levier 14 , l'articulation 3 de la patte 13 et le point de fixation de celle-ci à la lunette arrière 11 forment un parallélogramme. Par ailleurs, l'extrémité du levier 14 opposée à l'articulation 15 porte un doigt qui est engagé (voir figure 2) dans une lumière 17 allongée sensiblement dans la direction bord inférieur 2b de l'élément arrière 2 pour guider le déplacement du doigt lors du pivotement de cet élément arrière 2 vers le coffre arrière. The two articulations 15, 16 of the lever 14, the articulation 3 of the tab 13 and the point of attachment of the latter to the rear window 11 form a parallelogram. Furthermore, the end of the lever 14 opposite the articulation 15 carries a finger which is engaged (see FIG. 2) in a slot 17 elongated substantially in the direction of the lower edge 2b of the rear element 2 to guide the movement of the finger during the pivoting of this rear element 2 towards the rear trunk.
Dans le la version représentée sur la figure 7, on a optimisé davantage la hauteur disponible D au dessus du fond 10a du coffre, pour obtenir une hauteur H. Dans cette version, on a modifié la position de l'articulation 3 pour la déplacer en 3a et on solidarisé l'articulation de la lunette arrière 11 et celle des deux éléments latéraux de l'élément arrière 2. In the version shown in FIG. 7, the available height D has been further optimized above the bottom 10a of the boot, to obtain a height H. In this version, the position of the articulation 3 has been modified to move it in 3a and the articulation of the rear window 11 and that of the two lateral elements of the rear element 2 are secured.
Dans cet exemple, l'articulation commune entre les éléments arrieres 2 et la lunette 11 est remplacée par un axe 20 solidaire de la lunette 1 sur lequel s'articule un levier 19 articulé à son autre extrémité sur l'élément arrière 2 en 21. Le mouvement de rotation de la lunette 11 en 3a entraîne dans son mouvement simultanément et fait descendre les éléments arrières sensiblement parallèlement à eux-mêmes relativement à la lunette arrière 11. In this example, the joint between the rear elements 2 and the bezel 11 is replaced by an axis 20 integral with the bezel 1 on which a lever 19 is articulated articulated at its other end on the rear element 2 at 21. The rotational movement of the telescope 11 at 3a drives in its movement simultaneously and causes the rear elements to descend substantially parallel to themselves relative to the rear screen 11.
On va maintenant expliquer en référence à la figure 2, le fonctionnement de la première version du toit escamotable selon l'invention. We will now explain with reference to Figure 2, the operation of the first version of the retractable roof according to the invention.
Le pivotement du bras 5 vers l'arrière, autour de l'axe 6, fait tourner l'élément arrière 2 autour de l'axe 3, autour duquel tourne également la lunette arrière<B>11</B> . Lors du pivotement de l'élément arrière 2 vers le coffre 10, l'avant de la lunette arrière 11 s'enfonce progressivement à l'intérieur l'élément arrière 2, ce mouvement étant provoqué par le levier 14 articulé à lunette 11 et à l'élément arrière 2. The pivoting of the arm 5 towards the rear, around the axis 6, rotates the rear element 2 around the axis 3, around which the rear window <B> 11 </B> also rotates. During the pivoting of the rear element 2 towards the boot 10, the front of the rear window 11 gradually sinks inside the rear element 2, this movement being caused by the lever 14 articulated to the window 11 and to rear element 2.
Ainsi lorsque les deux éléments de toit 1, 2 sont situes dans le coffre 10, l'avant de la lunette arrière 11 est situé à une distance B seuil 8 de chargement du coffre, plus importante que la distance A qui sépare l'avant de l'élément arrière 2 du seuil 8 ci-dessus. Thus when the two roof elements 1, 2 are located in the boot 10, the front of the rear window 11 is located at a threshold distance B 8 for loading the boot, greater than the distance A which separates the front from the rear element 2 of the threshold 8 above.
Cette remontée de la lunette arrière 11 vers le couvercle 7 du coffre, fait également passer de C à D la hauteur de chargement du coffre. This rise from the rear window 11 to the lid 7 of the trunk, also changes the loading height of the trunk from C to D.
Dans le cas de la version illustrée par la figure 7, grace aux deux leviers 13 et 19 qui relient de façon articulée, les extrémités avant arrière de la lunette 11 à l'élément arrière 2, l'augmentation de la hauteur chargement du coffre est encore augmentée puisque celle-ci passe de D à Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisations que l'on vient de décrire et on peut apporter à ceux-ci des modifications sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.In the case of the version illustrated in Figure 7, thanks to the two levers 13 and 19 which articulate, the rear rear ends of the rear window 11 to the rear element 2, the increase in the loading height of the boot is further increased since it goes from D to Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples of embodiments which have just been described and modifications can be made to them without departing from the scope of the invention .
