Les caracteristiques de ['invention mentionnees ci-dessus, ainsi que  The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as

d'autres, appara^'tront plus clairement a la lecture de la description suivante d'un  others will appear more clearly on reading the following description of a

exemple de realisation, en se referent aux dessins annexes sur lesquels: la figure 1 est une vue schematique de dessous d'une structure de capot selon la presente invention, et - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective en detail de la zone A de la figure 1 On a represente a la figure 1, la face interne d'un capot comportant de maniere connue en soi une peau exterieure 1 realisee par exemple en aluminium OU encore en acier et une doublure interieure 2 realisee dans le meme materiau et reliee a la peau 1 du capot. De maniere classique la peripherie de la peau 1  exemplary embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view from below of a hood structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view in detail of zone A of Figure 1 We have shown in Figure 1, the inner face of a cover comprising in a manner known per se an outer skin 1 made for example of aluminum OR still steel and an inner lining 2 made in the same material and connected to the skin 1 of the cover. Classically the periphery of the skin 1

du capot est sertie avec sa doublure 2.  cover is crimped with its lining 2.

Selon ['invention, la doublure 2 est en contact avec le coeur de la peau, c'est-a-dire a l'interieur de la peripherie de la peau 1 uniquement par des pastes de maintien 3 presentant une caracteristique elastique en cas d'effort sur le capot  According to the invention, the lining 2 is in contact with the heart of the skin, that is to say inside the periphery of the skin 1 only by holding strips 3 having an elastic characteristic in the event of on the hood

Ces pastes de maintien 3 vent solidarisees sur le cceur de la peau au moyen d'une fixation 4 par exemple du mastic de calage couramment utilise pour  These holding pastes 3 wind secured to the core of the skin by means of a fixing 4, for example wedging putty commonly used for

la fixation sur les structures de capot de l'art anterieur.  fixing on the hood structures of the prior art.

Selon le mode de realisation represente a la figure 1, le nombre total de pastes de maintien 3 est de huit, disposees de maniere symetrique. Ce nombre  According to the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the total number of holding steps 3 is eight, arranged symmetrically. This number

n'est pas limitatif et varie en fonction de la taille du capot et de la raideur que le  is not limiting and varies according to the size of the hood and the stiffness that the

constructeur veut bien lui donner.builder is willing to give it to him.

Avantageusement, les pastes de maintien 3 vent realisees, comme visible sur la figure 2, par des parties saillantes de la doublure 2 formant ainsi une unique piece et presentent chacune la forme d'une portion bombee 5 dirigee en direction de la peau 1 directement a partir de la doublure 2 qui se prolonge par une portion rectiligne 6 sur laqueile est dispose le moyen de fixation 4, du type  Advantageously, the 3 wind holding steps made, as visible in FIG. 2, by protruding parts of the lining 2 thus forming a single piece and each have the shape of a convex portion 5 directed towards the skin 1 directly at starting from the lining 2 which is extended by a rectilinear portion 6 on the laqueile, there is the fixing means 4, of the type

On comprend qu'une telle forme permet d'assurer un amortissement lors 0 eventuellement d'un choc de la tete d'un pieton sur le capot, par la flexion desdites pastes. En outre, la forme de ces pastes 3 permet egalement lors du  It is understood that such a shape makes it possible to ensure damping during a possible impact of the head of a pedestrian on the hood, by the flexion of said steps. In addition, the shape of these pastes 3 also allows during the

choc, de ne pas faire ressortir de forme agressive susceptible de nuire au pieton.  shock, not to bring out an aggressive form likely to harm the pedestrian.

Par ailleurs, ces pastes vent reparties sur tout le cceur de la peau et presentent une longueur adequate afin de conserver des performances equivalentes a celles d'une structure d'un capot classique en terme de tenue a  Furthermore, these pastes are distributed over the entire core of the skin and have an adequate length in order to maintain performance equivalent to that of a structure of a conventional hood in terms of resistance to

['endurance au claquage et de rigidite.  ['endurance to breakdown and stiffness.

On comprend a la lecture de la description ci-dessus que la structure de  It is understood from reading the description above that the structure of

capot selon la presente invention est relativement simple a realiser et permet de diminuer la raideur locale du capot afin de limiter les lesions d'un pieton ayant eu un choc avec le capot du vehicule tout en conservant une raideur globale  bonnet according to the present invention is relatively simple to produce and makes it possible to reduce the local stiffness of the bonnet in order to limit the lesions of a pedestrian having had an impact with the bonnet of the vehicle while retaining an overall stiffness

inchangee permettant d'assurer les autres prestations classiques du capot.  unchanged to ensure the other classic hood services.

En outre, on a constate qu'une structure de capot selon ['invention permet de reduire d'environ 10 % le poids total du capot. Cette reduction du poids permet d'avoir des consequences avantageuses pour le vehicule en general,  In addition, it has been found that a hood structure according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the total weight of the hood by around 10%. This reduction in weight allows to have beneficial consequences for the vehicle in general,
