Description

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

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour le nettoyage d'un rétroviseur extérieur de véhicule automobile, et plus particulièrement de camions ou analogues.  The present invention relates to a device for cleaning an exterior mirror of a motor vehicle, and more particularly of trucks or the like.

Les véhicules automobiles comportent tous au moins un rétroviseur extérieur, de préférence deux, exposé aux conditions météorologiques, en sorte qu'en cas de mauvais temps il est fréquent que les rétroviseurs extérieurs soient rapidement souillés et parfois inutilisables.  Motor vehicles all have at least one exterior mirror, preferably two, exposed to weather conditions, so that in bad weather it is frequent that the exterior mirrors are quickly soiled and sometimes unusable.

Cet inconvénient est accru par le développement des dispositifs de dégivrage des rétroviseurs extérieurs qui consistent en des résistances électriques disposées à l'arrière de la partie miroir.  This drawback is increased by the development of defrosting devices for exterior mirrors which consist of electrical resistors arranged at the rear of the mirror part.

En effet, le chauffage du miroir tend à assécher les souillures, rendant leur enlèvement plus difficile. Indeed, the heating of the mirror tends to dry the stains, making their removal more difficult.

Ces inconvénients sont bien plus importants pour les rétroviseurs des véhicules de transport tels que les camions, puisque, outre leur surface plus importante, ils sont exposés sur des périodes très longues.  These drawbacks are much more significant for the mirrors of transport vehicles such as trucks, since, in addition to their larger surface area, they are exposed over very long periods.

Ces inconvénients concernent particulièrement le rétroviseur le plus éloigné du conducteur, c'est-à-dire le droit lorsque la conduite est à gauche, puisque l'autre rétroviseur, celui du côté du conducteur est généralement facilement accessible par ce dernier.  These drawbacks particularly concern the rearview mirror furthest from the driver, that is to say the right when driving on the left, since the other rearview mirror, that on the driver's side is generally easily accessible by the latter.

Pour pouvoir utiliser le rétroviseur extérieur le plus éloigné du conducteur, la majorité des chauffeurs routiers suspend audit rétroviseur un morceau de chiffon, en sorte que sous les effets des déplacements d'air, il vienne balayer de manière aléatoire le miroir. Cette solution n'est toutefois pas idéale, le morceau de chiffon étant également susceptible de cacher le miroir.  In order to be able to use the exterior mirror furthest from the driver, the majority of truck drivers hang a piece of cloth from the rear view mirror, so that under the effects of air movement, it randomly sweeps the mirror. However, this solution is not ideal, the piece of cloth also being able to hide the mirror.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient il a été proposé des rétroviseurs équipés de dispositif d'essuie-glace, tel que celui décrit dans le document EP 0.904. 983, lequel comprend une raclette montée à l'extrémité d'un bras apte à se déplacer en pivotement en sorte que ladite raclette balaie le miroir dans un mouvement alternatif de gauche à droite. Toutefois, outre sa grande complexité de conception, son efficacité est très limitée, qui plus est pour les rétroviseur des camions ou analogues qui présentent généralement une forme allongée.  To overcome this drawback, mirrors have been proposed fitted with wiper devices, such as that described in document EP 0.904. 983, which comprises a squeegee mounted at the end of an arm able to move in pivoting so that said squeegee sweeps the mirror in an alternating movement from left to right. However, in addition to its great design complexity, its effectiveness is very limited, which is more for the rear view mirrors of trucks or the like which generally have an elongated shape.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces divers inconvénients en proposant un dispositif pour le nettoyage d'un rétroviseur extérieur de véhicule automobile, et plus particulièrement de camions ou analogues.  The present invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks by providing a device for cleaning an exterior mirror of a motor vehicle, and more particularly of trucks or the like.

Le dispositif pour le nettoyage d'un rétroviseur extérieur de véhicule automobile, et plus particulièrement de camion selon l'invention, est du type comprenant une raclette apte être déplacée contre la surface du miroir dudit rétroviseur, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce que ladite raclette est maintenue par ses extrémités par l'intermédiaire de guides parallèles, et elle est reliée à des moyens d'entraînement permettant de la déplacer selon une direction qui lui est perpendiculaire.  The device for cleaning an exterior mirror of a motor vehicle, and more particularly of a truck according to the invention, is of the type comprising a squeegee capable of being moved against the surface of the mirror of said mirror, and it is essentially characterized in that said squeegee is held at its ends by means of parallel guides, and it is connected to drive means making it possible to move it in a direction which is perpendicular to it.

Un déplacement de la raclette selon une direction qui lui est perpendiculaire autorise le nettoyage d'une surface plus importante, tandis que le maintien de ladite raclette par ses extrémités permet une parfaite intégration du dispositif, contrairement à un système à bras pivotant.  A displacement of the squeegee in a direction which is perpendicular to it allows the cleaning of a larger surface, while the maintenance of said squeegee by its ends allows a perfect integration of the device, unlike a system with pivoting arm.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, les guides sont solidarisés à la face arrière du miroir, et la raclette est liée à ceux-ci par l'intermédiaire de moyens de contournement des bords dudit miroir.  According to an additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the guides are secured to the rear face of the mirror, and the squeegee is linked to these by means of means for bypassing the edges of said mirror.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, les guides consistent en des rails ou analogues disposés à proximité de deux bords opposés du miroir, et auxquels sont liées en coulissement les extrémités de la raclette.  According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the guides consist of rails or the like placed near two opposite edges of the mirror, and to which the ends of the squeegee are slidingly connected.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, la raclette est portée par un bras dont les extrémités sont liées en coulissement aux guides.  According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the squeegee is carried by an arm, the ends of which are slidably linked to the guides.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, le bras comporte des moyens aptes à plaquer de manière réglable la raclette contre la surface du miroir.  According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the arm comprises means capable of pressing the squeegee in an adjustable manner against the surface of the mirror.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, les moyens aptes à plaquer la raclette contre la surface du miroir consistent en un moyen élastique intercalé entre le bras et ladite raclette.  According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the means capable of pressing the squeegee against the surface of the mirror consist of an elastic means interposed between the arm and said squeegee.

<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, la raclette est associée à des moyens aspersion d'un liquide de lavage sur la surface du miroir.  According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the squeegee is associated with means for spraying a washing liquid on the surface of the mirror.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier du dispositif selon l'invention, les guides consistent en des tiges parallèles sur chacune desquelles peut coulisser un patin qui porte une extrémité du bras auquel est solidarisée la raclette, et qui est relié à une courroie crantée ou analogue tendue sur deux poulies dont l'une est mue par un moyen moteur.  According to a particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, the guides consist of parallel rods on each of which can slide a shoe which carries one end of the arm to which the squeegee is secured, and which is connected to a toothed belt or the like stretched on two pulleys, one of which is driven by motor means.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques du dispositif selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.  The advantages and characteristics of the device according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé : - la figure 1 représente une vue schématique partielle en élévation d'un dispositif pour le nettoyage d'un rétroviseur extérieur selon l'invention.  In the accompanying drawing: - Figure 1 shows a partial schematic elevation view of a device for cleaning an exterior mirror according to the invention.

- la figure 2 représente une vue schématique partielle de profil du même dispositif.  - Figure 2 shows a partial schematic profile view of the same device.

Sur ces figures on peut voir qu'un dispositif pour le nettoyage d'un rétroviseur extérieur selon l'invention comprend deux guides 1 disposés parallèlement de part et d'autre du miroir 2 d'un rétroviseur, le long desquels se déplace un bras 3, porteur d'une raclette ou analogue 4, non visible sur la figure 2.  In these figures we can see that a device for cleaning an exterior mirror according to the invention comprises two guides 1 arranged parallel on either side of the mirror 2 of a mirror, along which an arm 3 moves , carrying a squeegee or the like 4, not visible in FIG. 2.

Chacune des extrémités du bras 3 est munie d'un patin 30 apte à coulisser le long d'un guide 1, qui peut se présenter sous la forme d'une tige ou d'un tube, solidarisé par ses extrémités à la coque, non représentée, du rétroviseur.  Each end of the arm 3 is provided with a shoe 30 capable of sliding along a guide 1, which can be in the form of a rod or a tube, secured at its ends to the shell, not shown, the rear view mirror.

On notera que dans le cas, fréquent, d'une possibilité de déplacement du miroir pour des raisons de réglage, il convient de prévoir soit des moyens d'accompagnement de ce déplacement, soit, préférentiellement, de solidariser les guides au miroir, à la face arrière de celui-ci par exemple. Dans ce dernier cas, les parties extrêmes du bras 3 sont conformées pour contourner les bords du miroir. 1  It will be noted that in the frequent case of a possibility of displacement of the mirror for adjustment reasons, it is advisable to provide either means for accompanying this displacement, or, preferably, to secure the guides to the mirror, at the back side of it for example. In the latter case, the end parts of the arm 3 are shaped to circumvent the edges of the mirror. 1

<Desc/Clms Page number 4> <Desc / Clms Page number 4>

On notera que les guides sont parallèles au miroir 1, qu'elle que soit la forme de celui-ci. En effet, il est possible d'utiliser des miroirs galbés, et dans ce cas les guides 1 suivent la même courbure. It will be noted that the guides are parallel to the mirror 1, regardless of the shape thereof. Indeed, it is possible to use curved mirrors, and in this case the guides 1 follow the same curvature.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte également un moyen d'entraînement du bras 3, qui consiste en deux courroies crantées 5 ou analogues, dont une seule est visible sur la figure 2, chacune associée à un guide 1, tendue entre deux poulies 50, et reliée solidairement à un patin 30.  The device according to the invention also comprises a means for driving the arm 3, which consists of two toothed belts 5 or the like, only one of which is visible in FIG. 2, each associated with a guide 1, stretched between two pulleys 50, and connected integrally to a shoe 30.

Deux poulies 50 en regard sont portées par un même arbre 51, lui-même entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique 52. La rotation du moteur 52 entraîne celle de l'arbre 51 et donc celle des poulies 50 et des courroies crantées ou analogues 5, et donc le déplacement du bras 3 puisque les patins 30 sont solidaires des courroies crantées ou analogues 5.  Two facing pulleys 50 are carried by the same shaft 51, itself driven in rotation by an electric motor 52. The rotation of the motor 52 drives that of the shaft 51 and therefore that of the pulleys 50 and toothed belts or the like 5 , and therefore the movement of the arm 3 since the pads 30 are integral with toothed belts or the like 5.

Le déplacement du bras 3 et donc de la raclette 4 peut être réalisé selon des séquences différentes, ainsi il est possible de prévoir soit un déplacement simple dans un sens, le retour étant effectué lors du nettoyage suivant, soit un déplacement en aller et retour.  The movement of the arm 3 and therefore of the squeegee 4 can be carried out according to different sequences, so it is possible to provide either a simple movement in one direction, the return being carried out during the next cleaning, or a movement back and forth.

Par ailleurs, le bras 3 est muni d'un moyen permettant de plaquer la raclette 4 sur le miroir 2, et qui consiste en un ressort, non visible, intercalé entre le bras 3 et la raclette 4, associé, en vue d'un réglage, à une vis 31 dont le serrage ou le desserrage est apte à modifier la pression exercée sur le ressort.  Furthermore, the arm 3 is provided with a means for pressing the squeegee 4 on the mirror 2, and which consists of a spring, not visible, interposed between the arm 3 and the squeegee 4, associated, for a adjustment, to a screw 31 whose tightening or loosening is capable of modifying the pressure exerted on the spring.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est également associé à un moyen 6 d'aspersion du miroir 2, se présentant sous la forme de plusieurs buses d'aspersion 60. Dans ce cas le réservoir de liquide de lavage est de préférence prévu dans la coque, non représentée, du rétroviseur, avec une jauge apparente.  The device according to the invention is also associated with a means 6 for spraying the mirror 2, in the form of several spray nozzles 60. In this case, the washing liquid reservoir is preferably provided in the shell, not shown, of the mirror, with an apparent gauge.

On notera que de manière avantageuse, il est possible de prévoir une ou plusieurs buses d'aspersion dirigées latéralement en direction de la vitre de l'habitacle, au droit du rétroviseur en sorte que celui-ci soit toujours parfaitement visible.  It will be noted that, advantageously, it is possible to provide one or more spray nozzles directed laterally towards the window of the passenger compartment, in line with the rear view mirror so that it is always perfectly visible.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède de l'un de ses modes de  It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the preceding description of one of its modes of
