Réservoir de lave-vitre logé dans le bac de roue de secours d'un véhicule automobile La présente invention concerne un réservoir de lave-vitre pour véhicule automobile et, en particulier, la disposition d'un tel réservoir 5 de lave-vitre à l'intérieur du véhicule. The present invention relates to a windshield washer reservoir for a motor vehicle and, in particular, to the provision of such a windshield washer reservoir 5. inside the vehicle.
Le plus souvent, le réservoir de lave-vitre est placé à l'avant du véhicule, en particulier dans le compartiment du moteur, pour être placé près des gicleurs de pulvérisation du liquide de nettoyage sur le parebrise qui constitue la vitre la plus importante du véhicule. Most often, the windshield washer reservoir is placed at the front of the vehicle, in particular in the engine compartment, to be placed near the spray jets of the cleaning liquid on the windshield which is the most important window of the vehicle.
Une telle disposition du réservoir de lave-vitre est décrite par exemple dans l'US 5 460 420 et dans l'US 5 024 383. Such an arrangement of the windshield washer reservoir is described for example in US 5,460,420 and in US 5,024,383.
Cependant, en raison de l'encombrement de plus en plus important du compartiment moteur des véhicules, on a cherché à trouver un autre emplacement du réservoir de lave-vitre. However, due to the increasing size of the engine compartment of the vehicles, it was sought to find another location of the windshield washer reservoir.
Ainsi, on a décrit, dans le GB 2 328 915 un réservoir de lave-vitre disposé sous le siège arrière du véhicule, le remplissage de ce réservoir se faisant à partir du coffre arrière du véhicule. Thus, GB 2 328 915 discloses a windshield washer reservoir disposed under the rear seat of the vehicle, the filling of this tank being made from the rear trunk of the vehicle.
D'autres véhicules automobiles comportent un réservoir de lave-vitre placé à l'avant, c'est-à-dire dans le compartiment moteur, et un second réservoir lave-vitre placé dans le coffre arrière près d'une aile de la carrosserie pour alimenter un gicleur de la lunette arrière. Other motor vehicles include a windshield washer reservoir located in the front, that is, in the engine compartment, and a second windshield washer reservoir located in the trunk near a wing of the body. to power a nozzle of the rear window.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un réservoir de lavevitre dont la disposition est telle qu'il n'encombre ni l'espace disponible dans le compartiment moteur du véhicule, ni l'espace disponible dans le coffre arrière, ni celui situé sous un siège du véhicule, ce réservoir pouvant acheminer le liquide de nettoyage vers le pare-brise, la lunette arrière et éventuellement les phares du véhicule. The object of the present invention is to provide a reservoir of a dishwasher whose arrangement is such that it encumbers neither the space available in the engine compartment of the vehicle, nor the space available in the trunk, or that located under a seat of the vehicle, this tank can route the cleaning liquid to the windshield, the rear window and possibly the headlights of the vehicle.
L'invention vise ainsi un réservoir de lave-vitre pour véhicule automobile, ce réservoir étant équipé d'une goulotte de remplissage de liquide de nettoyage, d'une pompe raccordée à des tubulures pour acheminer le liquide vers les gicleurs de pulvérisation de ce liquide sur le pare-brise, la lunette arrière et éventuellement les phares du véhicule. The invention thus relates to a windshield washer reservoir for a motor vehicle, this tank being equipped with a cleaning liquid filler neck, a pump connected to tubings for conveying the liquid to the spray nozzles of this liquid. on the windshield, the rear window and possibly the headlights of the vehicle.
Suivant l'invention, ce réservoir est caractérisé en ce qu'il est 35 monté de façon amovible dans un coin du bac de la roue de secours du véhicule qui est situé sous le plancher du coffre arrière de ce véhicule. According to the invention, this tank is characterized in that it is mounted removably in a corner of the tank of the spare wheel of the vehicle which is located under the floor of the trunk of the vehicle.
2884788 2 Ainsi, le réservoir lave-vitre n'encombre ni le compartiment moteur, ni le coffre arrière puisqu'il est logé sous le plancher amovible du coffre arrière, dans un coin du bac de la roue de secours qui est limité vers l'intérieur par le pourtour de cette roue de secours. 2884788 2 Thus, the windshield washer reservoir does not clutter the engine compartment or the trunk since it is housed under the removable floor of the trunk, in a corner of the spare wheel tray which is limited to the inside by the circumference of this spare wheel.
Selon une version préférée de l'invention, la goulotte de remplissage traverse la paroi adjacente au bac de roue de secours formant la jupe arrière du véhicule, de façon que l'ouverture de remplissage de cette goulotte soit accessible après ouverture du couvercle de coffre ou du hayon arrière du véhicule. According to a preferred version of the invention, the filler chute passes through the wall adjacent to the spare tire container forming the rear skirt of the vehicle, so that the filling opening of this chute is accessible after opening the trunk lid or the tailgate of the vehicle.
Selon d'autres particularités de l'invention: - la goulotte de remplissage comprend une partie qui s'étend vers le haut dans l'espace compris entre la paroi formant la jupe arrière et le bouclier arrière du véhicule; le bouclier arrière comprend, sur sa face supérieure, une 15 ouverture fermée par un couvercle amovible et qui est située en regard de l'ouverture de remplissage de la goulotte. According to other features of the invention: - the filler neck comprises a portion which extends upwards in the space between the wall forming the rear skirt and the rear bumper of the vehicle; the rear shield comprises, on its upper face, an opening closed by a removable cover and which is located opposite the filling opening of the chute.
De préférence, le couvercle obturant l'ouverture formée sur la face supérieure du bouclier est masquée par le bord inférieur du couvercle de coffre ou du hayon arrière du véhicule. Preferably, the cover closing the opening formed on the upper face of the shield is hidden by the lower edge of the trunk lid or the rear hatch of the vehicle.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description below.
Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs: -la figure 1 est un schéma en plan de l'intérieur du coffre arrière d'un véhicule automobile après enlèvement de son plancher, montrant le bac de la roue de secours équipé d'un réservoir de lave-vitre, - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant le plan II-II de la 30 figure 1. In the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting example: FIG. 1 is a plan diagram of the interior of the trunk of a motor vehicle after removal of its floor, showing the container of the spare wheel equipped with Fig. 2 is a sectional view along the plane II-II of Fig. 1.
Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un réservoir 1 de lave-vitre monté dans un véhicule automobile 2, ce réservoir 1 étant équipé d'une goulotte de remplissage 3 de liquide de nettoyage 4, d'une pompe 15 raccordée à des tubulures (non représentées) pour acheminer le liquide 4 vers les gicleurs de pulvérisation de ce liquide sur le pare-brise, la lunette arrière et éventuellement les phares du véhicule. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a windscreen washer reservoir 1 mounted in a motor vehicle 2, this tank 1 being equipped with a filler neck 3 for cleaning liquid 4, a pump 15 connected to tubings (not shown ) to route the liquid 4 to the spray nozzles of this liquid on the windshield, the rear window and possibly the headlights of the vehicle.
2884788 3 Conformément à l'invention, le réservoir lave-vitre 1 est monté de façon amovible dans un coin arrière 5a du bac 5 de la roue de secours 6 du véhicule qui est situé sous le plancher amovible 7 (voir figure 2) du coffre arrière 8 de ce véhicule. According to the invention, the windscreen washer reservoir 1 is removably mounted in a rear corner 5a of the tank 5 of the spare wheel 6 of the vehicle which is located beneath the removable floor 7 (see FIG. 2) of the boot. rear 8 of this vehicle.
Le réservoir 1 ainsi que sa goulotte 3 sont en matière plastique. The tank 1 and its chute 3 are made of plastic.
Le réservoir 1 est fixé dans le bac 5 de roue de secours par exemple au moyen d'un pion de centrage et d'une vis. The tank 1 is fixed in the spare tire compartment 5 for example by means of a centering pin and a screw.
On voit notamment sur la figure 2 que la goulotte de remplissage 3 du réservoir 1 traverse les parois 9, 10 adjacentes au bac 5 de roue de secours formant la jupe arrière du véhicule 2, de façon que l'ouverture de remplissage 3a de la goulotte 3 soit accessible après ouverture du couvercle 11 de coffre ou du hayon arrière du véhicule. It can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 that the filling chute 3 of the tank 1 passes through the walls 9, 10 adjacent to the spare wheel tank 5 forming the rear skirt of the vehicle 2, so that the filling opening 3a of the chute 3 is accessible after opening the trunk lid 11 or the tailgate of the vehicle.
Comme montré par la figure 2, la goulotte 3 de remplissage comprend une partie 3b qui s'étend vers le haut dans l'espace 12 compris entre la paroi 10 formant la jupe arrière et le bouclier arrière 13 du véhicule. Ainsi, la goulotte 3 est cachée par le bouclier 13. As shown in Figure 2, the filler neck 3 comprises a portion 3b which extends upwardly in the space 12 between the wall 10 forming the rear skirt and the rear bumper 13 of the vehicle. Thus, the chute 3 is hidden by the shield 13.
Par ailleurs, le bouclier arrière 13 comprend, sur sa face supérieure 13a, une ouverture fermée par un couvercle amovible 14 et qui est située en regard de l'ouverture de remplissage 3a de la goulotte 3. Furthermore, the rear shield 13 comprises, on its upper face 13a, an opening closed by a removable cover 14 and which is located opposite the filling opening 3a of the chute 3.
De plus, le couvercle 14 obturant l'ouverture formée sur la face supérieure 13a du bouclier 13 est masqué par le bord inférieur l la du couvercle 1l du coffre arrière ou du hayon arrière du véhicule. In addition, the cover 14 closing the opening formed on the upper face 13a of the shield 13 is hidden by the lower edge 1a of the lid 1l of the trunk or rear hatch of the vehicle.
On voit sur la figure 1 que la forme du réservoir 1 est adaptée à la forme de l'espace compris entre le coin 5a du bac 5 de la roue de secours et le profil extérieur de la roue de secours 6 logée dans ce bac 5. It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the shape of the tank 1 is adapted to the shape of the space between the corner 5a of the tank 5 of the spare wheel and the outside profile of the spare wheel 6 housed in this tank 5.
Le réservoir 1 peut ainsi avoir un volume suffisant pour alimenter les gicleurs de pulvérisation situés près du pare-brise et éventuellement près des phares, ainsi que ceux prévus près de la lunette arrière du véhicule. The tank 1 can thus have a sufficient volume to supply the spray nozzles located near the windshield and possibly near the headlights, as well as those provided near the rear window of the vehicle.
Le mérite essentiel de la présente invention est principalement d'avoir mis à profit un espace disponible dans un coin du bac de roue de secours pour monter le réservoir de lave-vitre et, secondairement, d'avoir utilisé l'espace disponible entre la jupe arrière et le bouclier pour le passage de la goulotte d'alimentation du réservoir. The essential merit of the present invention is mainly to have made use of an available space in a corner of the spare wheel container to mount the washer-reservoir and secondly to have used the space available between the skirt back and shield for the passage of the tank feed chute.
