Abstract

The opening roof (1), which is deployed and retracted by articulated levers (12) so that it covers the passenger compartment when deployed and stows into a compartment behind it when retracted, has the stowage compartment covered by a supple cover (5) when the roof is deployed and by the roof itself when retracted. The forward edge (5B) of the supple cover has projections that move in slideways (41) on the rear of the roof so that it retracts automatically when the roof is stowed, allowing the roof to cover the stowage compartment.

rapporte à un toit mobile escamotable. L'invention vise également le véhicule pourvu du toit escamotable. Elle se rapporte également au véhicule transformable pourvu de ce toit.  relates to a retractable mobile roof. The invention also relates to the vehicle provided with the retractable roof. It also relates to the convertible vehicle provided with this roof.

Il est connu deux grandes familles de toits mobiles. La famille la plus ancienne est le toit souple constituée d'une toile que l'on vient tendre au dessus de l'habitacle. La toile peut être sans support rigide et elle est roulée sur elle-même lorsque la voiture est en position décapotée. Elle peut également être portée par des arceaux avec un mécanisme plus moins compliqué pour en assurer la motorisation. La seconde famille concerne les toits mobiles à éléments rigides. Ils sont apparus plus tardivement sur le marché. Dans cette seconde famille, des toits amovibles peuvent comporter deux éléments principaux, un élément avant et un élément arrière et parfois des éléments latéraux 15 situés de part et d'autre de l'élément de toit arrière. Le mécanisme de déplacement du toit rigide est plus simple que celui de la toile mais le coût de production de ces toits rigides est différent. Lors de la manoeuvre du toit rigide, il est nécessaire d'ouvrir préalablement le capot du coffre où sera rangé ledit toit mobile ce qui complique le système et augmente le 20 temps d'opération du retrait du toit mobile ou de sa remise en place au dessus de l'habitacle. Le but de l'invention est de proposer une solution au problème évoqué ci-dessus Dans ces conditions, suivant l'invention, une solution proposée consiste dans un toit mobile (en particulier escamotable) sur un véhicule, présentant un avant, un arrière et 25 une direction longitudinale et comprenant un élément de toit mobile entre un état déployé dans lequel il s'étend au-dessus de l'habitacle du véhicule et un état escamoté dans lequel l'élément de toit est disposé à l'écart du dessus de l'habitacle, tel à l'arrière de l'habitacle du véhicule dans un logement, l'élément de toit étant, d'une part, articulé sur la caisse du véhicule suivant au moins un axe transversal et, d'autre 30 part, éventuellement guidé en translation selon l'axe longitudinal dudit véhicule, ce toit étant caractérisé en ce que le logement destiné à recevoir le toit mobile est fermé, lorsque le toit mobile recouvre l'habitable du véhicule, par une couverture souple fixée par son bord arrière transversal sur le véhicule laquelle couverture est, d'une part, guidée en translation par son bord avant sur des rails sensiblement horizontaux s'étendant de part et d'autre du logement et, d'autre part, en liaison coulissante avec des coulisses portées par l'arrière du toit mobile. L'invention vise également le véhicule pourvu du toit amovible. L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci après faite à titre d'exemple en regard du dessin qui représente schématiquement FIG 1 : Toit en position couvrant l'habitacle FIG 2 : Toit en position pliée. FIG 3 : une variante de toit en position couvrant l'habitacle FIG 4 : Le toit de la figure 3 en position pliée FIG 5: Vue de dessus du toit en position fermée au dessus de l'habitacle couverture fermée.  Two large families of mobile roofs are known. The oldest family is the soft roof made of a canvas that is stretched above the cockpit. The canvas can be without rigid support and is rolled on itself when the car is in the open position. It can also be carried by arches with a less complicated mechanism to ensure motorization. The second family concerns mobile roofs with rigid elements. They appeared later on the market. In this second family, removable roofs may comprise two main elements, a front element and a rear element and sometimes side elements 15 located on either side of the rear roof element. The mechanism of movement of the hard roof is simpler than that of the canvas but the production cost of these rigid roofs is different. When maneuvering the hardtop, it is necessary to open beforehand the trunk lid where the mobile roof will be stowed which complicates the system and increases the time of operation of removal of the movable roof or its refitting to the roof. above the cockpit. The object of the invention is to propose a solution to the problem mentioned above Under these conditions, according to the invention, a proposed solution consists in a mobile roof (particularly retractable) on a vehicle, having a front, a rear and In a longitudinal direction and comprising a roof element movable between an expanded state in which it extends above the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a retracted state in which the roof element is disposed away from the top of the vehicle. the passenger compartment, such at the rear of the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a housing, the roof element being, on the one hand, hinged to the vehicle body following at least one transverse axis and, on the other hand, , possibly guided in translation along the longitudinal axis of said vehicle, this roof being characterized in that the housing for receiving the movable roof is closed, when the movable roof covers the habitable of the vehicle, by a flexible cover fixed by a transverse rear edge on the vehicle which cover is, firstly, guided in translation by its front edge on substantially horizontal rails extending on either side of the housing and, on the other hand, in sliding connection with slides supported by the rear of the movable roof. The invention also relates to the vehicle provided with the removable roof. The invention will be better understood from the following description given by way of example with reference to the drawing which shows schematically FIG. 1: Roof in position covering the passenger compartment FIG. 2: Roof in the folded position. FIG 3: a roof variant in position covering the passenger compartment FIG 4: The roof of FIG. 3 in the folded position FIG. 5: Top view of the roof in the closed position above the passenger compartment closed cover.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit une partie de véhicule présentant un avant, un arrière et une direction longitudinale comportant un toit 1 mobile escamotable pouvant occuper deux positions. Dans la première position, le toit 1 couvre l'habitacle et, suivant une seconde position, il est rangé dans un logement 2 du véhicule situé à l'arrière de l'habitacle.  Referring to the drawing, there is shown a vehicle part having a front, a rear and a longitudinal direction having a mobile roof 1 retractable can occupy two positions. In the first position, the roof 1 covers the passenger compartment and, in a second position, it is stored in a housing 2 of the vehicle located at the rear of the passenger compartment.

Ce toit 1 mobile est, d'une part, articulé sur la caisse du véhicule suivant au moins un axe 3, transversal et, d'autre part, éventuellement guidé en translation selon l'axe 4 longitudinal dudit véhicule. Selon l'invention, le logement 2 destiné à recevoir le toit mobile est fermé, lorsque le toit mobile recouvre l'habitable du véhicule, par une couverture 5 souple fixée par son bord arrière 5A transversal sur le véhicule laquelle couverture est, d'une part, guidée en translation par son bord avant 5B sur des rails 40 généralement sensiblement horizontaux s'étendant de part et d'autre du logement 2 et, d'autre part, en liaison coulissante avec des coulisses 41 portées par l'arrière du toit mobile. Par rail, guide ou coulisse, on comprendra un moyen de guidage en translation suivant une trajectoire imposée.  This movable roof 1 is, on the one hand, hinged to the vehicle body according to at least one axis 3, transverse and, on the other hand, optionally guided in translation along the longitudinal axis 4 of said vehicle. According to the invention, the housing 2 intended to receive the movable roof is closed, when the movable roof covers the habitable of the vehicle, by a flexible cover 5 fixed by its transverse rear edge 5A on the vehicle which cover is, of a part, guided in translation by its front edge 5B on rails 40 generally substantially horizontal extending on either side of the housing 2 and, on the other hand, in sliding connection with slides 41 carried by the rear of the roof mobile. By rail, guide or slide, there will be understood a guide means in translation along an imposed trajectory.

Le bord avant 5B de la couverture comprend des doigts transversaux coopérant avec les rails 40 et coulisses 41. Par doigt transversal, on comprendra une pièce qui coopère avec un moyen de guidage et qui est mobile par rapport à ce moyen de guidage.  The front edge 5B of the cover comprises transverse fingers cooperating with the rails 40 and slides 41. By transverse finger, there will be understood a part which cooperates with a guide means and which is movable relative to this guide means.

Ainsi lorsque le toit mobile est positionné au dessus de l'habitacle, la couverture est tendue au dessus du logement et son bord avant est placé sensiblement au niveau bas des coulisses 41. Lorsque le toit mobile se déplace de la position précédente vers une position où il se trouve écarté du dessus de l'habitacle, le bord avant de la couverture se déplace suivant la trajectoire imposée par les rails 40 et en même temps la liaison coulissante entre le bord avant 5B de la couverture et le toit mobile déplace la couverture de l'avant vers l'arrière tout en autorisant le toit à se déplacer du haut vers le bas. Par exemple, les doigts de cette liaison coulissante coulissent dans la lumière d'une coulisse et coopèrent avec les rails qui peuvent avoir une section en U ou en C.  Thus when the movable roof is positioned above the passenger compartment, the cover is stretched over the housing and its front edge is placed substantially at the low level of the slides 41. When the moving roof moves from the previous position to a position where it is spaced from the top of the passenger compartment, the front edge of the cover moves along the path imposed by the rails 40 and at the same time the sliding connection between the front edge 5B of the cover and the movable roof moves the cover of front to back while allowing the roof to move from top to bottom. For example, the fingers of this sliding connection slide in the slot of a slide and cooperate with the rails which may have a section U or C.

Les mouvements sont, bien entendu, inversés lors du déplacement inverse du toit mobile. Le toit mobile pénètre cependant dans le logement et c'est principalement la face lA supérieure du toit 1 mobile qui forme un couvercle pour le logement 2. La manoeuvre de la couverture 5 souple est actionnée par le déplacement du toit 20 mobile. C'est le mouvement du toit mobile se déplaçant vers l'arrière et vers le bas qui va pousser la couverture 5 souple vers l'arrière des rails 40 qui pourra, par exemple se ranger en accordéon selon les moyens utilisés par cette couverture souple tels des doigts intermédiaires coopérant avec les rails. 25 I1 est possible de prévoir un enrouleur fixé sur l'arrière du logement pour enrouler au fur et à mesure la couverture souple. La couverture souple s'enroule sur un enrouleur ou se plie en s'accumulant à l'arrière. Une variante de cette couverture souple est une association de lamelles transversales articulées les unes aux autres. 30 La manoeuvre inverse va tendre la couverture souple.  The movements are, of course, reversed during the reverse movement of the moving roof. The movable roof, however, penetrates into the housing and it is mainly the upper surface 1A of the movable roof 1 which forms a cover for the housing 2. The operation of the flexible cover 5 is actuated by the moving of the movable roof. It is the movement of the moving roof moving backwards and downwards which will push the flexible cover towards the rear of the rails 40 which may, for example, be accordion-arranged according to the means used by this flexible cover such as intermediate fingers cooperating with the rails. It is possible to provide a retractor fixed on the back of the housing for winding as the soft cover. The soft cover wraps around a reel or folds and accumulates on the back. A variant of this flexible cover is an association of transverse lamellae hinged to each other. The reverse maneuver will stretch the soft cover.

Cela permet de découvrir le logement progressivement en même temps que l'on déplace le toit mobile pour le ranger et donc la manoeuvre du toit et de la couverture se fait en une seule opération . Par ailleurs on voit qu'il n'est point besoin de mécanisme compliqué ou coûteux pour la manoeuvre du toit et de la couverture. Le toit 1 mobile aura en vue de profil une forme de L couché, la grande 10 branche du L formant la partie supérieure du toit mobile tandis que la petite branche 11 du L forme le panneau arrière du toit mobile et peut comporter une lunette arrière. On voit que les coulisses 41 sont sensiblement verticales. Bien évidemment la position de ces coulisses et la forme de celles-ci dépendent de la forme du véhicule. Ces coulisses peuvent être rectilignes ou courbes. Pour la manoeuvre du toit mobile on utilisera des moyens connus. Deux exemples de réalisation de ces moyens de manoeuvre ont été représentés schématiquement.  This makes it possible to discover the housing progressively at the same time as the movable roof is moved to store it and thus the maneuvering of the roof and the roof is done in a single operation. Moreover we see that there is no need for complicated or expensive mechanism for maneuvering the roof and the cover. The movable roof 1 will have in profile a L-shape lying down, the large L-branch forming the upper part of the movable roof while the L-shaped small branch 11 forms the rear panel of the movable roof and may include a rear window. We see that the slides 41 are substantially vertical. Obviously the position of these slides and the shape of these depend on the shape of the vehicle. These slides can be rectilinear or curved. For the operation of the mobile roof, known means will be used. Two embodiments of these operating means have been shown schematically.

Le premier moyen ( Figure 1 et 2) comprend une paire de biellettes 12 articulée à sa base 12 A sur le châssis ou la caisse du véhicule. La partie supérieure 12 B de la paire de biellettes est articulée sur le toit 1 mobile. On voit, sur l'exemple représenté (Figure 1), que chaque biellette 12 est coudée en sa partie supérieure pour s'orienter vers l'avant du véhicule.  The first means (Figure 1 and 2) comprises a pair of rods 12 hinged at its base 12A on the chassis or the vehicle body. The upper part 12 B of the pair of rods is articulated on the roof 1 mobile. We see, in the example shown (Figure 1), each link 12 is bent at its upper part to move towards the front of the vehicle.

A l'arrière du point d'articulation de la biellette avec le toit mobile, la partie arrière du toit mobile est guidée en translation sur des guides 13 courbes s'étendant vers l'arrière du véhicule. Sur ces guides 13 courbes coopèrent des moyens 14 complémentaires de guidage portés par l'arrière du toit mobile tel des pattes pourvues de galets.  At the rear of the articulation point of the link with the movable roof, the rear part of the movable roof is guided in translation on curved guides 13 extending towards the rear of the vehicle. On these guides 13 curves co-operate complementary guide means 14 carried by the rear of the movable roof such lugs provided with rollers.

Grâce aux caractéristiques précédentes, le toit peut aisément être rangé et déployé manuellement. Il est à noter que la face supérieure du toit est réalisé sous forme de partie rigide transversale de sorte qu'on améliore la sécurité des occupants. Une autre variante plus favorable aux véhicule quatre places ( figure 3 et 4) met en oeuvre un premier jeu de biellettes 45 avants et un second jeu de biellettes 46 arrières.  With the above features, the roof can easily be stored and deployed manually. It should be noted that the upper face of the roof is designed as a rigid transverse part so that the occupants' safety is improved. Another variant that is more favorable to four-seater vehicles (FIGS. 3 and 4) uses a first set of front links 45 and a second set of rear links 46.

Chacun de ces jeux est articulé sur le toit mobile en partie haute autour d'axes transversaux 47, 48 et sur la caisse du véhicule en partie basse autour d'axes transversaux 49, 50. Indépendamment de ce qui précède mais toutefois applicable à ce toit mobile, une structure intéressante de toit mobile est décrite ci-après. Les structures de toit mobiles sont souvent réalisées en métal sauf pour la vitre arrière. Il peut être intéressant de prévoir qu'une partie de ce toit mobile soit apte à être découverte sans pour autant déplacer le dit toit mobile. On peut alors y implanter un dispositif intitulé toit ouvrant qui consiste à découper une ouverture dans la partie supérieure du toit pour y insérer un panneau mobile souvent transparent. Ce toit ouvrant se situe à distance des quatre bords de la partie supérieure du toit. Selon l'invention, le toit mobile comporte, en sa partie avant une échancrure 18 délimitée par deux bords 15, 16 latéraux parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule et un bord 17 arrière, cette échancrure 18 étant destinée à être couverte par un élément 19 mobile. Cet élément 19 mobile est une toile souple ou un panneau coulissant ( non représenté). Les bords latéraux( 15,16) de l'échancrure sont équipés de glissières. La traverse 21 avant du véhicule située au dessus du pare-brise sert alors de point 20 d'accrochage pour la toile souple ou pour le panneau coulissant. Lorsque le toit mobile escamotable ferme l'habitacle, la traverse 21 avant du véhicule délimite le quatrième coté de l'ouverture où est implanté l'élément mobile. Avant d'ouvrir le toit on commence à déplacer l'élément mobile 19 de manière à ouvrir l'échancrure 18 située entre les deux bords 15 et 16. Lors du rangement du toit, 25 les bords 15 et 16 viennent se loger latéralement dans deux cavités de la carrosserie bordant une tablette transversale 30. La surface occupée préalablement par la couverture 5 est alors remplacée par la face supérieure du toit lA .  Each of these games is articulated on the mobile roof at the top around transverse axes 47, 48 and the vehicle body at the bottom around transverse axes 49, 50. Regardless of the above, but applicable to this roof mobile, an interesting structure of moving roof is described below. Mobile roof structures are often made of metal except for the rear window. It may be advantageous to provide that part of this mobile roof is able to be discovered without moving said mobile roof. It can then implement a device called sunroof which consists of cutting an opening in the upper part of the roof to insert a movable panel often transparent. This sunroof is at a distance from the four edges of the roof top. According to the invention, the movable roof comprises, in its front part, a notch 18 delimited by two lateral edges 15, 16 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a rear edge 17, this notch 18 being intended to be covered by an element 19 mobile. This movable member 19 is a flexible fabric or a sliding panel (not shown). The lateral edges (15, 16) of the notch are equipped with slides. The front cross member 21 of the vehicle located above the windshield then serves as a hooking point for the flexible fabric or for the sliding panel. When the retractable mobile roof closes the passenger compartment, the front cross member 21 of the vehicle defines the fourth side of the opening where the movable element is located. Before opening the roof, the mobile element 19 is started to open the notch 18 situated between the two edges 15 and 16. When storing the roof, the edges 15 and 16 are housed laterally in two body cavities bordering a transverse shelf 30. The area previously occupied by the cover 5 is then replaced by the upper face of the roof lA.
