Description
La presente invention est relative à un dispositif de protection de laThe present invention relates to a device for protecting the
commande d'ouverture du capot d'un véhicule automobile, man uvrée depuis l'intérieur de l'habitacle de ce véhicule. opening control of the hood of a motor vehicle, operated from inside the passenger compartment of that vehicle.
On sait que tous les véhicules actuels comportent, en position de fermeture de leur capot s'étendant au-dessus du compartiment contenant le moteur, le plus couramment ménagé en avant de l'habitacle, un mécanisme de déverrouillage qui est susceptible d'être commandé par l'utilisateur du véhicule, en particulier dans le sens de son déblocage pour permettre seulement dans cette position, le soulèvement ultérieur du capot et le libre accès au moteur ou aux autres accessoires contenus dans le même compartiment. It is known that all current vehicles include, in the closed position of their hood extending above the compartment containing the engine, most commonly formed in front of the passenger compartment, an unlocking mechanism that is likely to be controlled by the user of the vehicle, in particular in the direction of its release to allow only in this position, the subsequent raising of the hood and the free access to the engine or other accessories contained in the same compartment.
Le plus généralement, ce mécanisme de déverrouillage est manoeuvrable à distance au moyen d'une poignée ou d'un autre organe de commande similaire, du genre levier basculant ou analogue, monté à l'intérieur de l'habitacle près du conducteur, usuellement sous le volant ou au voisinage de celui-ci en dessous de la planche de bord, l'utilisateur devant nécessairement agir sur cette poignée ou ce levier afin d'autoriser ce déverrouillage. More generally, this unlocking mechanism is operable remotely by means of a handle or other similar control member, such as rocking lever or the like, mounted inside the cockpit near the driver, usually under the steering wheel or in the vicinity of it below the dashboard, the user must necessarily act on this handle or lever to allow this unlocking.
Mais dans ces conditions, on conçoit que si un tiers indélicat ou non autorisé peut atteindre la poignée de déblocage du mécanisme à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, notamment en brisant une vitre d'accès ou même en abaissant suff=_samment celle-ci à force, il pourra manoeuvrer cette poignée et ainsi atteindre le compartiment moteur pour dérober certains accessoires et plus gravement encore court-circuiter les moyens électroniques d'interdiction du démarrage du véhicule et s'emparer de celui-ci. But in these conditions, it is conceivable that if a third indelicate or unauthorized can reach the unlocking handle of the mechanism inside the passenger compartment, including breaking an access window or even lowering enough this one by force, it can manipulate the handle and thus reach the engine compartment to steal certain accessories and more seriously bypass the electronic means of prohibiting the starting of the vehicle and seize it.
La présente invention vise un dispositif qui évite cet inconvénient, en permettant de protéger la poignée d'actionnement du mécanisme de déverrouillage du capot d'un véhicule automobile aussi longtemps que les portes de l'habitacle sont fermées, de sorte qu'un éventuel voleur, même après avoir brisé la vitre qui se situe au plus près de la poignée, ne puisse pas commander celle-ci et ouvrir le capot de façon non autorisée. The present invention aims a device that avoids this disadvantage, allowing to protect the actuating handle of the unlocking mechanism of the hood of a motor vehicle as long as the doors of the passenger compartment are closed, so that a possible thief , even after breaking the glass that is closest to the handle, can not control it and open the hood unauthorized.
A cet effet, le dispositif considéré, pour habitacle de véhicule automobile comportant une poignée de commande d'un mécanisme de déverrouillage du capot du compartiment moteur de ce véhicule, actionnée par l'utilisateur depuis l'intérieur de l'habitacle afin de commander ce mécanisme et autoriser le relèvement du capot pour accéder librement au compartiment moteur, se caractérise en ce que le panneau intérieur de la porte du véhicule, située dans le côté de l'habitacle le plus proche de la poignée de commande, comporte un élément obturateur qui recouvre entièrement cette poignée lors de la fermeture de cette porte et ne la rend accessible qu'en position d'ouverture, de manière à empêcher que cette poignée puisse être actionnée en dehors de cette ouverture. For this purpose, the device considered, for passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising a control handle of a mechanism for unlocking the cover of the engine compartment of this vehicle, actuated by the user from inside the passenger compartment to control this mechanism and allow the recovery of the hood to freely access the engine compartment, is characterized in that the interior panel of the vehicle door, located in the side of the passenger compartment closest to the control handle, comprises a shutter member which completely covers this handle when closing the door and makes it accessible in the open position, so as to prevent this handle can be operated outside this opening.
Selon une autre caractéristique, l'élément obturateur comporte un volet conformé au profil extérieur de la poignée pour entourer complètement celle-ci lors de la fermeture de la porte. According to another characteristic, the shutter element comprises a shutter shaped to the outer profile of the handle to completely surround it when closing the door.
Avantageusement, le volet de l'élément obturateur est muni de nervures internes pour éviter tout passage d'un moyen du genre fil rigide ou objet spécialement conformé, propre à être introduit sous ce volet pour man uvrer indûment la poignée. Advantageously, the flap of the shutter element is provided with internal ribs to prevent any passage of a means of the rigid wire type or specially shaped object, adapted to be introduced under this shutter to maneuver the handle unduly.
D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de protection du mécanisme de commande de déverrouillage du capot d'un véhicule automobile, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel. Other features of a protection device of the hood unlocking control mechanism of a motor vehicle, will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of indication and not limitation, with reference to FIG. attached drawing on which.
- La Figure 1 est une vue en perspective partielle de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile, illustrant le positionnement usuel de la poignée d'actionnement du mécanisme de déverrouillage du capot de ce véhicule situé au voisinage du tableau de bord de ce dernier. - Figure 1 is a partial perspective view of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, illustrating the usual positioning of the actuating handle of the hood of the unlocking mechanism of the vehicle located in the vicinity of the dashboard of the latter.
- La Figure 2 est une vue similaire dans laquelle la porte de l'habitacle, située au plus près de la poignée, comporte un dispositif de protection conforme à l'invention. - Figure 2 is a similar view in which the door of the passenger compartment, located closer to the handle, comprises a protective device according to the invention.
- Les Figures 3 et 4 sont des vues en perspective à plus grande échelle, de l'élément obturateur selon l'invention, vu respectivement de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur de l'habitacle. - Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views on a larger scale of the shutter member according to the invention, seen from the inside and outside of the passenger compartment respectively.
Sur ces figures, on a repris des chiffres de référence identiques pour désigner des organes semblables de l'une à l'autre. In these figures, identical reference numerals have been used to designate similar members from one to the other.
Sur la Figure 1, la référence 1 désigne une partie de l'intérieur d'un habitacle 1 d'un véhicule automobile, comportant une planche de bord 2 dont le détail de la réalisation importe peu à l'invention, cette planche s'intégrant dans la carrosserie 3 du véhicule. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a portion of the interior of a passenger compartment 1 of a motor vehicle, comprising a dashboard 2 the details of which are of little importance to the invention, this board integrating in the bodywork 3 of the vehicle.
Sous la planche, est usuellement disposée une poignée 4, pouvant comporter un levier articulé pivotant autour d'un axe, un poussoir ou tout autre moyen apte à commander l'ouverture du capot (non représenté) du véhicule par transmission d'un effort de poussée ou de traction approprié, tel qu'il provoquer le déblocage d'un verrou ou autre moyen similaire qui empêche l'ouverture non provoquée du capot par le conducteur ou un utilisateur du véhicule situé à l'intérieur de l'habitacle. Under the board, is usually arranged a handle 4, which may comprise an articulated lever pivoting about an axis, a pusher or any other means adapted to control the opening of the hood (not shown) of the vehicle by transmission of a force of thrust or appropriate traction, such as causing the unlocking of a lock or other similar means that prevents unprovoked opening of the hood by the driver or a user of the vehicle located inside the passenger compartment.
Un tel mécanisme de déverrouillage du capot qui ferme le compartiment moteur d'un véhicule automobile est en lui-même parfaitement classique et mis en oeuvre d'une façon absolument générale. Such a mechanism for unlocking the hood which closes the engine compartment of a motor vehicle is in itself perfectly conventional and implemented in an absolutely general manner.
Pour permettre, conformément à l'invention, d'empêcher un accès direct et non autorisé à la poignée 4 et par suite l'ouverture du capot et une intervention sur les différents organes du véhicule qui sont situés dans le compartiment moteur, on prévoit conformément à l'invention, un moyen d'obturation de cette poignée rendant cet accès impossible par un tiers qui n'est pas préalablement installé dans l'habitacle et qui par conséquent a pu ouvrir à l'aide des moyens de verrouillage usuels la porte 5 d'accès à cet habitacle, cette porte étant le plus généralement celle qui est située du côté du siège du conducteur, au plus près de la poignée 4. To allow, according to the invention, to prevent direct and unauthorized access to the handle 4 and consequently the opening of the hood and an intervention on the various vehicle components that are located in the engine compartment, it is provided in accordance with the invention. to the invention, a closure means of this handle making this access impossible by a third party who is not previously installed in the passenger compartment and which therefore could open with the usual locking means the door 5 access to this cabin, this door being most generally that which is located on the side of the driver's seat, closer to the handle 4.
Comme on le voit sur la Figure 2, la porte 5 comporte un panneau 6 avec une garniture interne 7, laquelle est munie d'un élément obturateur 8, en forme de volet qui, lorsque la porte 5 ferme l'habitacle, est conformé de manière à venir recouvrir entièrement la poignée 4 de sorte que, aussi longtemps que la porte n'est pas ouverte, empêche toute commande de déverrouillage du capot et par suite d'ouverture de celui-ci. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the door 5 comprises a panel 6 with an internal lining 7, which is provided with a shutter-shaped shutter element 8 which, when the door 5 closes the passenger compartment, is shaped so as to completely cover the handle 4 so that, as long as the door is not open, prevents any unlocking control of the cover and as a result of opening thereof.
Les Figures 3 et 4 illustrent la forme de l'élément obturateur 8, vu respectivement de l'intérieur de l'habitacle (Figure 3) ou de l'extérieur de celui-ci (Figure 4). Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the shape of the shutter member 8, respectively seen from inside the passenger compartment (Figure 3) or from outside (Figure 4).
Cet élément obturateur 8 est immobilisé sur la garniture interne 7 du panneau de porte 6 par tout moyen approprié, du genre vis 8a ou autre organe similaire, de sorte qu'il pivote avec la porte autour des gonds de cette dernière en découvrant la poignée lorsque la porte est ouverte. This shutter element 8 is immobilized on the internal lining 7 of the door panel 6 by any appropriate means, such as screw 8a or the like, so that it pivots with the door around the hinges of the latter by revealing the handle when the door is open.
Avantageusement, on voit sur la Figure 4 que le volet de l'élément obturateur 8 peut comporter dans sa surface interne des nervures 9 destinées à éviter que, lorsque la porte 5 est fermée et que le volet cache la poignée 4, un intervenant non autorisé puisse, au-delà de la vitre de la porte légèrement ouverte à force, introduire un fil rigide ou objet plat spécialement conformé sous ce volet pour atteindre la poignée et provoquer indûment l'ouverture du capot. Advantageously, it can be seen in FIG. 4 that the flap of the shutter element 8 may comprise in its internal surface ribs 9 intended to prevent that, when the door 5 is closed and the shutter conceals the handle 4, an unauthorized intervener may, beyond the window of the door slightly forced open, introduce a rigid wire or flat object specially shaped under this flap to reach the handle and unduly cause the hood to open.
On réalise ainsi un dispositif de protection de conception particulièrement simple, qui n'autorise l'accès à la commande d'ouverture du capot du véhicule qu'en position d'ouverture de la porte latérale de l'habitacle, portant le volet de l'élément obturateur. Thus a protection device of particularly simple design, which allows access to the opening control of the hood of the vehicle in the open position of the side door of the passenger compartment, carrying the shutter of the shutter element.
Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemble de réalisation plus spécialement décrit et représenté ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment of an embodiment more specifically described and shown; on the contrary, it embraces all variants.
