Domaine de ['invention La presente invention concerne un cabriolet comportant un ton' se rangeant dans la partie arriere du vehicule, le ton' ayant au moins une fermeture arriere, rigide et neanmoins globalement mobile, et qui, en position de fermeture, est en contact avec l'extremite avant d'une partie de coffre, adjacente vers l'arriere, couvrant le dessus du logement recevant la capote et un intervalle de passage pour le mouve ment du ton' devant la fermeture arriere du ton' et en-dessous d'une lu nette arriere, en etant couvert au moins en partie par un element de  Field of the invention The present invention relates to a convertible comprising a tone 'which is stored in the rear part of the vehicle, the tone' having at least one rear closure, rigid and nevertheless generally mobile, and which, in the closed position, is in contact with the front end of a trunk part, adjacent towards the rear, covering the top of the housing receiving the hood and a passage interval for the movement of the tone 'in front of the rear closure of the tone' and below a clear rear reading, being covered at least in part by an element of

o recouvrement en forme de plage arriere.  o cover in the form of a rear deck.

Etat de la technique Le document DE 100 36 223 A1 montre un cabriolet du type defini ci-dessus dont la plage arriere est divisee en deux parties, une premiere partie rigide, derriere le dossier de la banquette ainsi s qu'une seconde partie coulissant longitudinalement par rapport a la premiere et pouvant basculer. La mobilite longitudinale est necessaire car lorsque le ton' est ferme, la seconde partie vient avec sa zone avant dans la direction de deplacement sous la premiere partie pour y etre maintenue et elle est delimitee du cote arriere par la fermeture arriere o du ton'. Lorsque le ton' est abaisse, sans mouvement longitudinal de la page arriere par rapport a sa position loreque le ton' est ferme, on aurait un intervalle entre son bord arriere et le bord avant d'une partie de cof fre appartenant a la carrosserie, cette partie ferment le dessus du loge ment recevant le ton' ou la capote. C'est pourquoi le mouvement :5 longitudinal en plus du mouvement de pivotement pendant le range ment du ton', est necessaire pour fermer cet intervalle. La combinaison de ces mouvements est compliquee. I1 faut un temps important jusquta  State of the art Document DE 100 36 223 A1 shows a convertible of the type defined above, the rear section of which is divided into two parts, a first rigid part, behind the back of the bench seat as well as a second part sliding longitudinally compared to the first and able to tilt. Longitudinal mobility is necessary because when the tone is closed, the second part comes with its front zone in the direction of movement under the first part to be held there and it is delimited on the rear side by the rear closure or the tone. When the tone 'is lowered, without longitudinal movement of the rear page with respect to its position when the tone' is firm, there would be an interval between its rear edge and the front edge of a part of the body belonging to the body, this part closes the top of the housing receiving the tone or the hood. This is why the longitudinal movement: 5 in addition to the pivoting movement during the storage of the tone, is necessary to close this interval. The combination of these movements is complicated. It takes a long time until

la fin du mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du ton'.  the end of the opening or closing movement of the tone '.

De plus, la plage arriere comporte des parties laterales so qui, lorsque le ton' est range, ferment le cote superieur de l'espace qui est par ailleurs necessaire pour les pieces de tringlerie du ton'. Le de plolement de ces parties laterales n'est toutefois possible qu'une fois le ton' completement range et ce mouvement est alors combine globale ment a un coulissement longitudinal du ton'. Ces phases de mouvement s5 se deroulement completement l'une apres l'autre et d'abord on aura le mouvement d'entree ou de sortie d'un gonjon dans un bec a l'interieur de la tringlerie du ton' pour liberer le mouvement du ton' pour effectuer  In addition, the rear shelf has lateral sections so which, when the tone 'is stored, close the upper side of the space which is otherwise necessary for the linkage pieces of the tone'. The plolement of these lateral parts is however only possible once the tone 'completely tidied up and this movement is then combined overall with a longitudinal sliding of the tone'. These phases of movement s5 unfold completely one after the other and first we will have the movement of entry or exit of a gonjon in a beak inside the linkage of tone 'to release the movement tone 'to perform

le mouvement d'ouverture ou inversement.  the opening movement or vice versa.

But de ['invention s - La presente invention a pour but daccelerer les mouve ments d'ouverture et de fermeture du ton' et d'optimiser le deroulement  Aim of the invention - The aim of the present invention is to accelerate the opening and closing movements of the tone and to optimize the progress

correspondent des mouvements du ton'.  correspond movements of the tone '.

Expose de ['invention et avantages : A cet effet, ['invention concerne un cabriolet du type defi o ni ci-dessus caracterise en ce que ltelement de recouvrement est tenu dans la meme position par rapport a la direction longitudinale du vehi cule pour le ton' ouvert ou ferme, et lorsque le ton' est ferme, cet element  Disclosure of the invention and advantages: To this end, the invention relates to a convertible of the defi o ni above type, characterized in that the covering element is held in the same position relative to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle for the tone 'open or firm, and when tone' is firm, this element

de recouvrement est en contact avec la partie de coffre.  cover is in contact with the boot part.

Selon ['invention, le ton' peut etre deplace par un pur mouvement de pivotement pendant le mouvement d'ouverture ou de fermeture du ton'. I1 ntest pas necessaire d'avoir un mouvement longitu dinal supplementaire. Ainsi, pour la partie centrale de ltelement de re couvrement, il ne faut qu'un seul degre de liberte, ce qui accelere et simplifie globalement le mouvement et permet egalement de reduire  According to the 'invention, the tone' can be moved by a pure pivoting movement during the opening or closing movement of the tone '. It is not necessary to have an additional longitudinal movement. Thus, for the central part of the covering element, only one degree of freedom is required, which generally accelerates and simplifies the movement and also makes it possible to reduce

o l'encombrement des pieces necessaires au mouvement.  o the size of the parts necessary for movement.

Si ['element de recouvrement fait directement suite au bord arriere d'une banquette, on evite de subdiviser de ltelement de re couvrement en un segment fixe et un segment mobile ce qui le simplifie  If the covering element directly follows the rear edge of a bench seat, one avoids subdividing the covering element into a fixed segment and a mobile segment which simplifies it.

encore plus et diminue les couts de fabrication.  even more and lowers manufacturing costs.

:5 I1 est notamment avantageux que ltelement de recouvre ment passe endessous de la fermeture arriere du ton' lorsque le ton' est en position fermee car apres rangement du ton', ltextremite arriere de la fermeture du ton' est remise dans la meme position par le pivotement que dans celle dans laquelle se trouvait la fermeture arriere lorsque le ton' etait ferme. Ainsi, lorsque le ton' est ouvert, ['element de recouvre ment avec son extremite arriere vient directement en contact avec la partie de coffre de la carrosserie, cette partie par exemple articulee du cote arriere libere ['orifice de passage pour le ton' ou le ferme suivant le mouvement a effectuer. Par exemple, il peut etre avantageux que la partie de coffre soit pivotee par le dessus sur la fermeture arriere du ton' lorsque le ton' est ferme ou sur le bord arriere de ['element de recouvre ment lorsque le ton' est ouvert. Le bord ou terminaison arriere de ['element de recouvrement peut par exemple comporter une partie en creux constituent une goulotte. Cette partie en forme de canal peut ser  : 5 It is particularly advantageous that the covering element passes under the rear closure of the tone 'when the tone' is in the closed position because after storage of the tone ', the rear end of the tone closure' is returned to the same position by the pivoting as in that in which was the rear closure when the tone 'was firm. Thus, when the tone 'is open, the covering element with its rear end comes directly into contact with the boot part of the body, this part for example articulated on the rear side released [' passage opening for the tone ' or closes it according to the movement to be performed. For example, it may be advantageous if the trunk part is pivoted from above on the rear closure of the tone 'when the tone' is closed or on the rear edge of the 'covering element when the tone' is open. The rear edge or termination of the covering element may for example comprise a hollow part constituting a chute. This channel-shaped part can be used

s vir a recevoir la fermeture arriere du ton' lorsque le ton' est ferme.  s receive the back closing tone when the tone is closed.

Suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse ['element de recouvrement est pivotant vers le haut a partir de sa position hori zontale en phase d'ouverture, par le ou les organes cooperants pour le mouvement du ton' et cet element peut pivoter vers le teas par les orga o nes d'entranement cooperant pour le mouvement de fermeture de la partie arriere du coffre, pour venir en position horizontale lorsque le ton'  According to another advantageous characteristic, the covering element is pivotable upwards from its horizontal position in the opening phase, by the cooperating member or bodies for the movement of the tone, and this element can pivot towards the teas by the cooperating drive organs for the closing movement of the rear part of the trunk, to come into a horizontal position when the tone '

- est ouvert.- is open.

Ainsi, lors du mouvement d'ouverture du ton', le pivote ment descendant de ltelement de recouvrement est assure par le ou les s actionneurs servant au rangement du ton' et le pivotement vers l'arriere en position horizontale est produit par le ou les organes d'entranement de la partie arriere du ton', si bien que le mouvement de fermeture de la partie de coffre peut se faire en synchronisme avec l'abaissement de ['element de recouvrement dans la position definitive lorsque le ton' est o ouvert. Le mouvement de rangement global du ton' ou le mouvement de fermeture vent ainsi acceleres. En particulier, le deplolement des par ties laterales peut se faire pendant la mise en position verticale de ltelement de recouvrement, c'est- a- dire pendant le mouvement de ran gement du ton'. Les phases de mouvement peuvent se chevaucher et s eviter ainsi la perte de temps liee a une execution successive de cha  Thus, during the tone opening movement, the downward pivoting of the covering element is ensured by the actuator (s) for storing the tone, and the pivoting towards the rear in a horizontal position is produced by the drive members of the rear part of the tone, so that the closing movement of the boot part can be carried out in synchronism with the lowering of the covering element in the final position when the tone is open . The overall tone storage movement or the closing wind movement thus accelerated. In particular, the displacement of the lateral parts can be carried out during the vertical positioning of the covering element, that is to say during the movement of tonal storage. The phases of movement can overlap and thus avoid the loss of time linked to a successive execution of cha

cune des differentes phases de mouvement.  one of the different phases of movement.

Dans l'exemple de realisation, la partie arriere 3 du ton' comporte une lunette arriere 5 sous laquelle se trouve un element de recouvrement 7 pratiquement horizontal lorsque le ton' 4 est ferme, constituent une plage arriere. La partie arriere 3 du ton' est delimitee au s niveau de son extremite inferieure arriere par une fermeture de ton' 6 s essentiellement transversale par rapport au vehicule. Cette fermeture est realisee ici sous la forme d'une goulotte munie d'au moins un or  In the exemplary embodiment, the rear part 3 of the tone 'comprises a rear window 5 under which there is a covering element 7 which is practically horizontal when the tone' 4 is closed, constitute a rear area. The rear part 3 of the tone 'is delimited at the level of its lower rear end by a closure of the tone' 6 s which is essentially transverse to the vehicle. This closure is carried out here in the form of a chute provided with at least one gold

L'element de recouvrement 7 comprend une partie cen trale 10 ainsi que des parties ou extensions laterales 11 rentrees lors o que le ton' est ferme en venant en dessous de cette partie centrale. Ces parties laterales 11 ne vent indiquees que schematiquement a la Figure 1. L'element de recouvrement 7 rejoins par son arete avant 12 dans la direction de deplacement, directement ou pratiquement directement la banquette arriere 13. Lateralement, on a chaque fois deux installations  The covering element 7 comprises a central part 10 as well as parts or lateral extensions 11 which are retracted when the tone is firm when coming below this central part.

A partir de la position fermee du ton' 4 selon la Figure 1, pour arriver dans la position ouverte representee a la Figure 5, on abaisse tout d'abord la partie arriere 3 du ton' (Figure 2).

avec la partie arriere 3 du ton'.with the back part 3 of tone '.

Lore qu ' on p our-quit le mouvement d ' ouverture du ton' (Fi gure 3), des qutil y a suffisamment d'espace de pivotement libre vers le haut, pour ne pas rencontrer la lunette arriere 5, ['element de recou vrement 7 pivote vers le haut autour d'un axe horizontal transversal a la direction de deplacement F dans la direction de la fleche 16. Ce mou - vement est commande par la tige de guidage 15 ayant un bras 17 dans 3s sa zone d'extremite inferieure, ce bras stetend transversalement au plan median longitudinal vertical du vehicule. Avec le debut de mouvement de descente du ton', la tige de guidage principale 15 pivote autour de l'axe horizontal 18 transversal par rapport au vehicule, dans la direc tion de la fleche 19 sans que dans la zone initiale le mouvement de ran gement du ton' 4 soit provoque par un mouvement de pivotement de ltelement de recouvrement 7. Celui-ci bascule bien plus, tout d'abord  Even if we are going to open the tone movement (Figure 3), as soon as there is sufficient free upward swiveling space, so as not to meet the rear window 5, [element of overlap 7 pivots upwards around a horizontal axis transverse to the direction of movement F in the direction of the arrow 16. This movement is controlled by the guide rod 15 having an arm 17 in its area of lower extremity, this arm extends transversely to the vertical longitudinal median plane of the vehicle. With the start of the downward movement of the tone, the main guide rod 15 pivots about the horizontal axis 18 transverse to the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow 19 without the storage movement in the initial zone of tone '4 is caused by a pivoting movement of the cover element 7. This rocks much more, first of all

comme indique ci-dessus vers le teas avec son extremite arriere 9.  as indicated above towards the teas with its rear end 9.

Ce ntest qu'au cours de la pour-quite du mouvement qutune zone 20 d'une arete arriere du bras 17 rencontre une surface de o butee 21 d'un levier 22 egalement pivotant autour de l'axe 18. Ce levier pivotant 22 entrane un levier 23 relic a ['element de recouvrement 7 pour basculer celui-ci dans le sens montant dans la direction de la fle  It is only in the course of the movement that a zone 20 of a rear edge of the arm 17 encounters an abutment surface 21 of a lever 22 also pivoting about the axis 18. This pivoting lever 22 entrains a lever 23 connected to the covering element 7 to tilt the latter in the upward direction in the direction of the fle

che 16.che 16.

Comme la venue en butee de l'arete 20 ne se produit s qu'apres un certain mouvement de pivotement de la tige de guidage 15, le pivotement remontant de ['element de recouvrement 7 ne se produit quta ce moment. Grace a la pour-quite du mouvement pivotant des tiges de guidage principal 15 dans la direction de la fleche 19, le mouvement de pivotement montant de ltelement de recouvrement 7 se pour-quit o dans la direction de la fleche 16. De plus, sensiblement au niveau de la position representee a la figure 4, lorsque la tige de guidage principal 15 est passee a cote de ltelement de recouvrement 7, la zone avant 20a de l'arete du bras 17 vient en butee contre la zone avant 24 d'une roue d'entranement 25 montee egalement pivotante autour de l'axe 18. La roue d'entranement 25 se deplace dans la direction de la fleche 26 et qu'elle exerce ainsi une traction sur ltextremite avant 27 d'un cable Bowden 28 tenue par cette piece. La traction exercee sur le cable Bowden 28, produit le debattement des parties laterales 11 par rapport a la partie centrale 10 de ['element de recouvrement 7 autour s o d' articulations de pivotement 2 8 laterale s ass o ciees a la p artie centrale 10. Les articulations de pivotement 29 ont un axe de rotation perpendi culaire a la surface de la piece centrale 10. Ces articulations communi quent en outre une course pour que les parties laterales 11 puissent venir en position rentree sous la partie centrale 10 et etre neanmoins au niveau de la partie centrale 10 lorsque ses parties laterales vent de ployees. Le deploiement des parties laterales 11 se -produit ainsi pratiquement en position verticale de ['element de recouvrement 7 pen dant que la tige de guidage principal 15 continue de pivoter avec ltensemble du ton' 4 si bien que le mouvement de rangement du ton' 4 se fait avec chevauchement lateral avec le mouvement de deplolement des parties laterales 11 et ne necessite aucune temporisation pour ce mou vement de deplolement. Ainsi le mouvement de rangement du ton' n'est o pas freine dans sa progression et ni au debut ni a la fin du mouvement, il ne faut organiser une temporisation supplementaire pour le deploie  As the abutment of the edge 20 only occurs after a certain pivoting movement of the guide rod 15, the upward pivoting of the covering element 7 does not occur until this moment. Thanks to the pros-quite of the pivoting movement of the main guide rods 15 in the direction of the arrow 19, the upward pivoting movement of the covering element 7 is done in the direction of the arrow 16. In addition, substantially at the position shown in Figure 4, when the main guide rod 15 is passed next to the covering element 7, the front region 20a of the edge of the arm 17 abuts against the front region 24 of a drive wheel 25 also mounted to pivot about the axis 18. The drive wheel 25 moves in the direction of the arrow 26 and thus exerts traction on the front end 27 of a Bowden cable 28 held by this piece. The traction exerted on the Bowden cable 28 produces the movement of the lateral parts 11 with respect to the central part 10 of the covering element 7 around the pivot articulations 2 lateral 8 associated with the central part 10. The pivot joints 29 have an axis of rotation perpendicular to the surface of the central part 10. These articulations further communicate a stroke so that the lateral parts 11 can come into the retracted position under the central part 10 and nevertheless be at the level of the central part 10 when its lateral parts wind ployees. The deployment of the lateral parts 11 thus occurs practically in the vertical position of the covering element 7 while the main guide rod 15 continues to pivot with the whole of tone '4 so that the storage movement of tone' 4 is done with lateral overlap with the movement of movement of the side parts 11 and does not require any delay for this movement of movement. Thus the tone storage movement is not hampered in its progression and neither at the beginning nor at the end of the movement, it is not necessary to organize an additional delay for the deployment

ment des parties laterales 11.side parts 11.

Cette position de fin de course provisoire de ['element de recouvrement 7, pour ces phases de mouvement occasionnees par les s organes d'entranement assurant le mouvement du ton', selon la Figure correspond a une position pratiquement verticale pour ltelement de recouvrement 7 avec des parties laterales 11 deployees, ce qui permet de ranger le ton' 4 dans ltespace de reception, pratiquement en position horizontale. La partie avant 2 du ton' forme ainsi, dans ltexemple de  This provisional end-of-travel position of the covering element 7, for these phases of movement occasioned by the drive members ensuring the movement of the tone, according to the Figure corresponds to a practically vertical position for the covering element 7 with lateral parts 11 deployed, which allows the tone 4 to be stored in the reception area, practically in a horizontal position. The front part 2 of the tone thus forms, in the example of

- Ensuite, pour arriver au mouvement de descente de ['element de recouvrement 7 en position horizontale, on ferme la partie de coffre arriere 30 qui peut se deployer autour d'un axe de pivotement du cote arriere et qui etait ouvert pendant le rangement du ton'. Un au s tre cable Bowden 32 est relic a la partie de coffre arriere 31 et pendant le pivotement montant du coffre arriere 31, une traction est exercee sur le cable Bowden si bien qutune seconde roue d'entranement 33 reliee au cable Bowden 32 pivote en direction de la fleche 34 (au passage de la Figure 10) en passant par la position de la Figure 11 jusqu'a celle de la so Figure 12. Ainsi, la roue d'entranement 33 prend le levier 23 directe ment ou indirectement par des organes d'entramement 35, 36 en con tact pour faire descendre le levier et produire ainsi le pivotement descendant d'elements de recouvrement 7 en position horizontale. Ce pivotement descendant est ainsi occasionne par le mouvement de fer ss meture de la partie du coffre arriere 30 sans que les organes t  - Then, to arrive at the downward movement of the covering element 7 in a horizontal position, the rear trunk part 30 which can be deployed around a pivot axis on the rear side and which was open during the storage of the your'. One to the other Bowden cable 32 is connected to the rear trunk part 31 and during the upward pivoting of the rear trunk 31, traction is exerted on the Bowden cable so that a second drive wheel 33 connected to the Bowden cable 32 pivots in direction of the arrow 34 (passing Figure 10) through the position of Figure 11 to that of the so Figure 12. Thus, the drive wheel 33 takes the lever 23 directly or indirectly by entraining members 35, 36 in contact to bring the lever down and thus produce the downward pivoting of covering elements 7 in a horizontal position. This downward pivoting is thus occasioned by the movement of iron on the part of the rear trunk 30 without the members t

d'entrainement du rangement du ton' ne participant a ce mouvement.  of training of the arrangement of the tone 'not participating in this movement.

Un debrayage particulier ou une commutation ne vent pas necessaires.  A particular declutching or switching is not necessary.

Pendant le mouvement de fermeture de la partie de coffre 3O, le pivote ment descendant de ['element de recouvrement 7 se produit automati quement de sorte qu'avec la fermeture de la partie de coffre 30, on aura egalement la position de fin de course de ['element de recouvrement 7 avec des parties laterales 11 deployees. Ainsi, globalement, pour aucune des phases de mouvement de ['element de recouvrement 7 il ne faudra une quelconque temporisation. Les phases de mouvement global de o ['element de recouvrement 7 se font dans la fenetre de temps necessaire globalement pour le rangement du ton'. C'est pourquoi il importe peu pour le deroulement chronologique qu'il y ait un element de recouvre  During the closing movement of the boot part 30, the downward pivoting of the covering element 7 occurs automatically so that with the closing of the boot part 30, the end position will also be reached. of the covering element 7 with lateral parts 11 deployed. Thus, overall, for none of the movement phases of the covering element 7 there will be no need for any time delay. The overall movement phases of the covering element 7 are done in the time window required overall for the storage of the tone. This is why it does not matter for the chronological sequence that there is an element of overlap.

Enfin, pour tous les mouvements de ['element de recou vrement 7, seuls vent necessaires des pivotements sans aucun mouve ment de translation. Cela se traduit par des mouvements simples qui vent de construction simple et se realisent sans necessite de moyens  Finally, for all the movements of the covering element 7, only wind necessary for pivoting without any translational movement. This results in simple movements which are simple to build and which are carried out without the need for resources.

Pour les mouvements de fermeture du ton', on peut ega lement assurer les mouvements de pivotement reciproques par la force d'un ressort 37, 38. L'element de recouvrement 7 peut, par exemple, etre precontraint dans la direction d'une position verticale de sorte qu'a l'ouverture de la partie de coffre 30 et a la detente du cable Bowden 32,  For the closing movements of the tone, it is also possible to ensure the reciprocal pivoting movements by the force of a spring 37, 38. The covering element 7 can, for example, be prestressed in the direction of a position vertical so that when the boot part 30 is opened and the Bowden cable 32 is released,
