Abstract

The rear part (1) of the vehicle roof, carries the rear window (2) and the rear side windows (3). The side window panels are linked to the rear part of the roof by means of a translation mechanism (4,5,6,7,8), which allows the window panel to be displaced towards the rear.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'escamotage des vitres latérales de custode d'une automobile. Un tel dispositif permet aux vitres latérales adjacentes à la custode d'une automobile de se rétracter dans ladite custode. The present invention relates to a device for retracting the side windows of the quarter panel of an automobile. Such a device allows the side windows adjacent to the quarter of an automobile to retract into said quarter.

Dans les véhicules automobiles, la custode désigne la partie arrière de la carrosserie qui porte la lunette arrière. Cette custode, notamment dans le cas des véhicules coupés, peut aussi porter des vitres latérales généralement fixes qui ne peuvent pas être réalisées d'une seule pièce avec les vitres de portières. In motor vehicles, the quarter light designates the rear part of the bodywork which carries the rear window. This quarter window, especially in the case of coupe vehicles, can also carry generally fixed side windows which cannot be produced in one piece with the door windows.

Dans la plupart des véhicules comprenant des vitres latérales de custode, ces vitres sont fixes car elles ne peuvent pas descendre dans la carrosserie à la manière des vitres de portière à cause du passage de roue qui se trouve juste en dessous. In most vehicles comprising side quarter windows, these windows are fixed because they cannot descend into the body like the door windows because of the wheel arch which is located just below.

Néanmoins, il serait intéressant pour les passagers arrière d'un coupé de pouvoir ouvrir cette vitre de custode. Nevertheless, it would be interesting for rear passengers of a coupé to be able to open this quarter window.

Dans le cas d'un véhicule sans montants de portes, des vitres latérales de custode rétractables permettraient, dans la position toutes vitres ouvertes, d'avoir un large espace d'ouverture, d'un bout à l'autre de l'automobile, conférant à celle-ci une certaine esthétique. In the case of a vehicle without door pillars, retractable side quarter windows would allow, in the all-open position, to have a large opening space, from one end of the automobile to the other, giving it a certain aesthetic.

Dans le cas d'un véhicule à toit escamotable dans le coffre arrière, des vitres latérales de custode rétractables permettraient de ne pas gêner le fonctionnement du système lors du passage à la position cabriolet. Elles permettraient In the case of a vehicle with a retractable roof in the rear trunk, retractable side quarter windows would not interfere with the operation of the system when switching to the convertible position. They would allow

également de réduire l'encombrement de la custode lorsque celle-ci est rangée à l'intérieur du coffre.  also reduce the size of the quarter panel when it is stored inside the trunk.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients et de répondre aux besoins précédemment décrits en fournissant une custode pourvue d'un dispositif d'escamotage des vitres latérales. The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks and meet the needs described above by providing a quarter panel provided with a device for retracting the side windows.

Suivant l'invention, la custode de véhicule automobile est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est reliée aux vitres latérales par des moyens de translation permettant de déplacer lesdites vitres vers l'arrière. According to the invention, the quarter panel of a motor vehicle is characterized in that it is connected to the side windows by translation means making it possible to move said windows rearward.

De préférence, les moyens de translation en question sont composés de deux glissières longitudinales de chaque côté de la custode dans lesquelles sont engagés des doigts solidaires du bord arrière des vitres latérales. Preferably, the translation means in question are composed of two longitudinal slides on each side of the quarter panel in which are engaged fingers integral with the rear edge of the side windows.

De préférence également, lesdits moyens de translation sont portés par les faces internes des parois de la custode permettant d'escamoter les vitres latérales à l'intérieur de la custode.

Figure img00020001
Preferably also, said translation means are carried by the internal faces of the walls of the quarter panel making it possible to retract the side windows inside the quarter panel.
Figure img00020001

Ainsi, les vitres escamotées s'effacent et se confondent avec la custode. Thus, the retracted windows are erased and merge with the quarter panel.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après. Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs : Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the description below. In the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples:

- La figure 1 est une vue schématique latérale d'une custode de véhicule, la vitre latérale étant en position fermée (c'est-à-dire : sortie de la custode) ; - La figure 2 est une vue schématique latérale d'une custode de véhicule, la vitre latérale étant en position ouverte (c'est-à-dire : rétractée dans la custode).  - Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a vehicle quarter, the side window being in the closed position (that is to say: exit of the quarter); - Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a vehicle quarter, the side window being in the open position (that is to say: retracted in the quarter).

Dans la réalisation représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, la custode (1) comprend une lunette arrière (2) et une vitre latérale (3) de chaque côté de la custode. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the quarter (1) comprises a rear window (2) and a side window (3) on each side of the quarter.

Conformément à l'invention, les vitres latérales (3) sont reliées à la custode (1) par des moyens de translation. According to the invention, the side windows (3) are connected to the quarter panel (1) by means of translation.

Dans cette réalisation, la liaison des vitres latérales (3) avec la custode (1) comprend deux glissières (4), (5) longitudinales de chaque côté et solidaires de la custode (1) dans lesquelles sont engagés des doigts (6), (7), (8) solidaires du bord arrière des vitres latérales (3). In this embodiment, the connection of the side windows (3) with the quarter panel (1) comprises two slides (4), (5) longitudinal on each side and integral with the quarter panel (1) in which fingers (6) are engaged, (7), (8) integral with the rear edge of the side windows (3).

Lorsque les vitres (3) sont en position fermées (sorties de la custode), elles se comportent comme des vitres fixes classiques, fermant hermétiquement l'espace entre la vitre latérale de portière et la custode et pouvant participer à la rigidité de la carrosserie. When the windows (3) are in the closed position (exits from the quarter window), they behave like conventional fixed windows, hermetically closing the space between the side door window and the quarter window and which can contribute to the rigidity of the bodywork.

La possibilité de rétracter ces vitres latérales dans la custode permet aux passagers arrière de disposer de vitres qui s'ouvrent, ceci quelque soit la configuration du véhicule relative à la position des passages de roue. The possibility of retracting these side windows in the quarter panel allows rear passengers to have windows that open, regardless of the configuration of the vehicle relative to the position of the wheel arches.

Lorsque les vitres sont en position ouvertes (rétractées dans la custode), la custode est plus compacte et se prête mieux When the windows are in the open position (retracted in the quarter panel), the quarter panel is more compact and lends itself better
