compartiment d'un vehicule automobile.  compartment of a motor vehicle.

s L'invention concerne plus particulierement un support de roue de secours d'un vehicule automobile qui est agencee a l'interieur d'un compartiment, notamment a bagages, du vehicule automobile qui est deiimite par un plancher horizontal et par une porte arriere transversale, du type qui est monte articule par o rapport au plancher entre une position de rangement dans laquelle la roue de secours est portee par le support en position transversale et verticale a l'interieur du compartiment, avec son axe de rotation sensiblement parallele a l'axe general longitudinal  s The invention relates more particularly to a spare wheel support of a motor vehicle which is arranged inside a compartment, in particular for luggage, of the motor vehicle which is delimited by a horizontal floor and by a transverse rear door , of the type which is mounted articulated with respect to the floor between a storage position in which the spare wheel is carried by the support in transverse and vertical position inside the compartment, with its axis of rotation substantially parallel to the general longitudinal axis

du vehicule, et une position d'utilisation de la roue de secours.  of the vehicle, and a position for using the spare wheel.

Les vehicules actuels de type "tout-terrain" ou "4 x 4" vent con,cus aussi bien pour une utilisation urbaine que pour une utilisation sur des chemins accidentes. Sur de nombreux vehicules de ce type, la roue de secours est fixee sur un support  Current vehicles of the "all-terrain" or "4 x 4" type are designed both for urban use and for use on rough roads. On many vehicles of this type, the spare wheel is fixed on a support

a l'exterieur du vehicule.outside the vehicle.

Cette disposition permet de rendre la roue de secours plus accessible en cas de crevaison et de liberer l'espace a l'interieur du vehicule dans lequel le compartiment arriere a bagages susceptible de recevoir la roue de secours est une partie arriere de l'habitacle. Cependant, selon cette conception, la roue de secours est exposee aux agressions exterieures provenant des  This arrangement makes it possible to make the spare wheel more accessible in the event of a puncture and to free up the space inside the vehicle in which the rear luggage compartment capable of receiving the spare wheel is a rear part of the passenger compartment. However, according to this conception, the spare tire is exposed to external aggressions coming from

intemperies, mais aussi d'actes de vandalisme.  bad weather, but also acts of vandalism.

Selon une autre conception, il a ete propose de fixer la roue de secours dans le compartiment a bagages en position r - transversale, au dos des sieges les plus arriere. Cette solution necessite que le dossier d'au moins un siege arriere soit amovible de sorte qu'il soit possible d'acceder a la roue. De plus, en ce qui concerne les vehicules "toutterrain", le volume et le poids de la roue rendent sa manipulation difficile. Enfin, un autre conception consiste a fixer la roue de secours au moyen d'un support articule, par rapport a la structure de caisse du vehicule, autour d'un axe vertical entre une premiere position "de rangement" dans laquelle la roue s'etend o transversalement a l'arriere du compartiment a bagages, et une deuxieme position "d'utilisation" dans laquelle la roue s'etend verticalement vers l'arriere, ctest-a-dire avec son axe de rotation oriente transversalement. Dans cette deuxieme position, lorsque l'utilisateur desire desolidariser la roue de secours du support, il y s a alors un risque de chute de la roue de secours, ce qui est relativement dangereux, etant donnee la masse d'une roue de  According to another design, it has been proposed to fix the spare wheel in the luggage compartment in a transverse position, on the back of the rearmost seats. This solution requires that the backrest of at least one rear seat is removable so that it is possible to access the wheel. In addition, with regard to "all-terrain" vehicles, the volume and the weight of the wheel make it difficult to handle. Finally, another design consists in fixing the spare wheel by means of an articulated support, relative to the body structure of the vehicle, around a vertical axis between a first "storage" position in which the wheel s' extending o transversely to the rear of the luggage compartment, and a second "use" position in which the wheel extends vertically towards the rear, that is to say with its axis of rotation oriented transversely. In this second position, when the user wishes to separate the spare wheel from the support, there is then a risk of the spare wheel falling, which is relatively dangerous, given the mass of a spare wheel.

On a represente a la figure 1, I'arriere d'un vehicule automobile 10 du type "tout-terrain" comportant un compartiment a bagages 12, ou coffre, qui est situe a l'arriere de l'habitacle et qui est agence de sorte a loger une roue de secours 14 du  There is shown in Figure 1, the rear of a motor vehicle 10 of the "all-terrain" type comprising a luggage compartment 12, or trunk, which is located at the rear of the passenger compartment and which is agency of so as to accommodate a spare wheel 14 of the

vehicule 10.vehicle 10.

Le compartiment a bagages 12 est notamment delimite vers l'arriere par une porte transversale arriere 16 telle qutun hayon, qui est ici articulee par rapport au pavilion 18 du vehicule , autour d'un axe transversal A, entre une position inferieure de  The luggage compartment 12 is in particular delimited towards the rear by a rear transverse door 16 such as a tailgate, which is here articulated with respect to the pavilion 18 of the vehicle, around a transverse axis A, between a lower position of

De maniere connue, le support 22 est destine a recevoir un  In known manner, the support 22 is intended to receive a

flasque 26 central d'une jante 28 de la roue de secours 14.  central flange 26 of a rim 28 of the spare wheel 14.

Comme on l'a represente aux figures 3 et 4,Le flasque 26 permet par exemple la fixation de la roue de secours 14 sur le support 22 de la meme maniere que sur un moyeu d'un essieu (non  As shown in Figures 3 and 4, The flange 26 allows for example the fixing of the spare wheel 14 on the support 22 in the same way as on a hub of an axle (not

represente) du vehicule 10.vehicle) 10.

Ainsi, la roue de secours 14 est fixee sur le support 22 par o l'intermediaire des meme moyens que ceux utilises pour sa  Thus, the spare wheel 14 is fixed on the support 22 by means of the same means as those used for its

fixation sur le moyeu, qui consistent ici en des vis 30.  attachment to the hub, which here consists of screws 30.

Dans cette position, la roue de secours 14 est accessible, que le compartiment a bagages soit rempli ou non. Cependant, la roue de secours 14 masque une forte partie de la face s transversale arriere 24 du compartiment a bagages 12, ce qui peut staverer particulierement genant pour le chargement d'objets  In this position, the spare wheel 14 is accessible, whether the luggage compartment is filled or not. However, the spare wheel 14 masks a large part of the rear transverse face 24 of the luggage compartment 12, which can be particularly troublesome for loading objects.

volumineux a l'interieur du compartiment a bagages 12.  large inside the luggage compartment 12.

C'est pourquoi le support 22 est monte articule par rapport au compartiment a bagages 12 entre une position de rangement o dans laquelle la roue de secours 14 est en position verticale et transversale, et une position globalement horizontale d'utilisation representee a la figure 2, dans laquelle l'acces au compartiment a  This is why the support 22 is mounted articulated with respect to the luggage compartment 12 between a storage position o in which the spare wheel 14 is in a vertical and transverse position, and a generally horizontal position of use represented in FIG. 2 , in which access to the compartment has

bagages 12, par la face transversale arriere 24 est plus aise.  baggage 12, by the rear transverse face 24 is easier.

Le support 22 est agence par rapport au compartiment a bagages 12 de sorte qu'en position de rangement, il stetende verticalement vers le haut depu is le p la ncher 20, entre la roue de secours 14 et la porte 16. Ainsi, les vis de fixation 30 de la roue de secours 14 ne vent accessibles que par la face avant de la roue de secours 14. Lorsque le compartiment a bagages 12 est o charge, les vis 30 ne vent plus accessibles, pour desolidariser la roue de secours 14 du support 22, le support doit etre dans sa  The support 22 is arranged relative to the luggage compartment 12 so that in the storage position, it stetends vertically upwards since it is p ncher 20, between the spare wheel 14 and the door 16. Thus, the screws fastening 30 of the spare wheel 14 can only be accessed from the front face of the spare wheel 14. When the luggage compartment 12 is loaded, the screws 30 are no longer accessible, to separate the spare wheel 14 from the support 22, the support must be in its

position d'utilisation.position of use.

Selon un mode de realisation connu, lorsque le support est en position d'utilisation, la roue de secours est a l'exterieur du vehicule, cependant, son axe de rotation est toujours horizontal,  According to a known embodiment, when the support is in the use position, the spare wheel is outside the vehicle, however, its axis of rotation is always horizontal,

et elle est situee au-dessus du sol, loin de ce dernier.  and it is located above the ground, far from it.

Lors du demontage de la roue de secours, l'utilisateur peut effectuer un faux mouvement qui entranerait la desolidarisation de la roue de secours du support et ainsi une chute de celle-ci, ce qui peut s'averer relativement dangereux car la masse d'une roue  When removing the spare wheel, the user can make a false movement which would cause the spare wheel to become detached from the support and thus fall, which may prove to be relatively dangerous because the mass of a wheel

de vehicule "tout-terrain" est en general relativement elevee.  vehicle "all-terrain" is generally relatively high.

Conformement a ['invention, et comme on l'a represente aux figures 2 et 4, le support 22 est articule autour d'un axe C o transversal de sorte que, lorsque le support 22 est en position d'utilisation, la roue de secours 14 s'etend horizontalement vers  In accordance with the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the support 22 is articulated about an axis C o transverse so that, when the support 22 is in the position of use, the wheel rescue 14 extends horizontally towards

l'arriere et au-dessus du support 22.  the rear and above the support 22.

Ainsi, meme apres avoir retire les vis 30, la roue de secours 14 demeure posee sur le support 22 et elle ne peut pas  Thus, even after having removed the screws 30, the spare wheel 14 remains placed on the support 22 and it cannot

somber accidentellement.accidentally sink.

De plus, dans cette position, la roue de secours 14 est a l'exterieur du compartiment a bagages 12, ce qui en facilite la  In addition, in this position, the spare wheel 14 is outside the luggage compartment 12, which facilitates the

prehension et la manipulation.gripping and handling.

Le support 22 est articule par rapport au plancher 20 de sorte a empecher la fermeture de la porte 16 lorsqu'il est en position d'utilisation. Ceci permet d'eviter que l'utilisateur ne circule avec le support 22, avec ou sans la roue de secours 14, qui fait saillie vers l'arriere du vehicule 10, ce qui pourrait s'averer dangereux en cas de choc par l'arriere avec un autre  The support 22 is articulated relative to the floor 20 so as to prevent the closing of the door 16 when it is in the position of use. This makes it possible to prevent the user from circulating with the support 22, with or without the spare wheel 14, which projects towards the rear of the vehicle 10, which could prove dangerous in the event of an impact by the back with another

vehicule.vehicle.

Selon un premier mode de realisation, represente aux figures 1 et 2, le support 22 est realise a partir de tron,cons de profiles, et il a la forme d'un "V" dont ltextremite libre 32a de cheque branche 32 du "V" est articulee par rapport au plancher 20. La pointe du "V", formee par la reunion des branches du "V" porte une plaque de fixation 34 de la roue de secours 14 qui comporte des trous taraudes (non representes) qui repoivent les  According to a first embodiment, represented in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support 22 is produced from a section, cons of profiles, and it has the shape of a "V" whose free end 32a of each branch 32 of the "V "is articulated with respect to the floor 20. The point of the" V ", formed by the union of the branches of the" V "carries a fixing plate 34 of the spare wheel 14 which has tapped holes (not shown) which receive the

vis de fixation 30 de la roue de secours 14.  spare wheel fixing screw 30.

Selon un deuxieme mode de realisation, represente aux figures 3 a 6, le support 22 est une plaque plane dont une premiere extremite 36 est articulee par rapport au plancher autour de l'axe C, et dont une deuxieme extremite 38 comporte les trous taraudes (non representes) qui re,coivent les vis de fixation 30 de  According to a second embodiment, represented in FIGS. 3 to 6, the support 22 is a flat plate of which a first end 36 is articulated relative to the floor around the axis C, and of which a second end 38 includes the tapped holes ( not shown) which re, coive the fixing screws 30 of

la roue de secours 14.the spare tire 14.

Selon un autre aspect de ['invention, I'extremite arriere 20a du plancher 20 comporte un evidement 40 qui re,coit une partie de la roue de secours 14 lorsque le support 22 est en position de o rangement. Grace a cet evidement 40, la roue de secours 14 est positionnee a une hauteur inferieure par rapport au cas ou la roue de secours 14 serait situee audessus de la face superieure 20s  According to another aspect of the invention, the rear end 20a of the floor 20 comprises a recess 40 which receives part of the spare wheel 14 when the support 22 is in the storage position. Thanks to this recess 40, the spare wheel 14 is positioned at a lower height compared to the case where the spare wheel 14 is located above the upper face 20s

du plancher 20.floor 20.

Le fait d'abaisser la hauteur de la roue de secours 14 permet d'ameliorer la visibilite vers l'arriere depuis le posse de conduite, ce qui est particulierement avantageux lors de manceuvres. Selon un autre aspect de ['invention, la roue de secours 14 n'est presente a l'interieur du compartiment a bagages 12  The fact of lowering the height of the spare wheel 14 makes it possible to improve the visibility towards the rear from the driving posse, which is particularly advantageous during maneuvers. According to another aspect of the invention, the spare wheel 14 is not present inside the luggage compartment 12

o qu'occasionnellement.o only occasionally.

En effet, en usage courant du vehicule 10, c'est-a-dire pour une utilisation sur des routes goudronnees, le risque de crevaison est relativement faible, de sorte que la roue de secours 14 est inutile. La roue de secours 14 reste alors dans le garage, en prevision d'une utilisation ulterieure du vehicule 10 en terrain accidente, dans des chemins ou le risque de crevaison est plus important. En cas d'absence de la roue de secours 14, lorsque le support 22 est en position de rangement, il gene inutilement o l'acces au compartiment a bagages 12, de sorte qutil est alors necessaire de le faire basculer vers sa position d'utilisation pour le chargement, puis de le faire basculer a nouveau vers sa position de rangement pour la fermeture du compartiment a bagages 12. Puisque la roue de secours 14 est absente, cette operation est plus simple, mais elle fait quand meme perdre du temps a l'utilisateur et l'acces au compartiment a bagages 12  Indeed, in current use of the vehicle 10, that is to say for use on paved roads, the risk of puncture is relatively low, so that the spare wheel 14 is useless. The spare wheel 14 then remains in the garage, in anticipation of a subsequent use of the vehicle 10 in uneven terrain, in paths where the risk of puncture is greater. In the absence of the spare wheel 14, when the support 22 is in the storage position, it unnecessarily interferes with access to the luggage compartment 12, so that it is then necessary to tilt it to its position of use for loading, then tilt it again to its storage position for closing the luggage compartment 12. Since the spare wheel 14 is absent, this operation is simpler, but it still costs time at the user and access to the luggage compartment 12

n'est pas entierement deg age.is not fully cleared.

Comme on l'a represente au figures 5 et 6, lorsque la roue de secours 14 est absente, le support 22 selon ['invention est apte a occuper une position escamotee a l'interieur de l'evidement 40. Dans cette position escamotee, le support 22 s'etend longitudinalement vers ['avant a l'interieur du compartiment a to bagages 12, de sorte que sa face superieure 22s affleure avec la  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the spare wheel 14 is absent, the support 22 according to the invention is able to occupy a retracted position inside the recess 40. In this retracted position, the support 22 extends longitudinally forwards inside the luggage compartment 12, so that its upper face 22s is flush with the

face superieure 20s du plancher.upper face 20s from the floor.

L'utilisateur dispose alors d'un acces a l'interieur du compartiment a bagages 12 qui est identique a l'acces d'un compartiment a bagages vehicule qui ntest pas equipe d'un  The user then has access to the interior of the luggage compartment 12 which is identical to the access to a vehicle luggage compartment which is not equipped with a

s support 22 conforme a ['invention.  s support 22 according to the invention.

Lorsque la roue de secours 14 est absente, il est toujours  When the spare wheel 14 is missing, it is always

possible de deplacer le support 22 vers la position d'utilisation.  possible to move the support 22 to the position of use.

Dans cette position, il stetend horizontalement vers l'arriere, au-  In this position, it stretches horizontally backwards,

dela de l'extremite arriere 20a du plancher 20.  beyond the rear end 20a of the floor 20.

o Le support 22 peut alors etre utilise comme une tablette supplementaire, ou bien comme un strapontin d'appoint. Une telle tablette peut etre relativement utile par exemple pour les pauses  o The support 22 can then be used as an additional shelf, or as an extra folding seat. Such a tablet can be relatively useful for example for breaks

Un tel agencement permet le rangement d'une roue de secours 14 a l'interieur d'un compartiment a bagages 12 de sorte que la roue de secours 14 soit toujours accessible, que le compartiment a bagages soit rempli ou non. De plus, le support 22 de la roue de secours 14 permet une manipulation de la roue  Such an arrangement allows the storage of a spare wheel 14 inside a luggage compartment 12 so that the spare wheel 14 is always accessible, whether the luggage compartment is filled or not. In addition, the support 22 of the spare wheel 14 allows manipulation of the wheel
