Description

1 VOLANT DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE COMPORTANT UNE COMMANDE DE1 WHEEL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE COMPRISING A CONTROL OF

REGULATEUR/LIMITEUR DE VITESSE DESCRIPTION DOMAINE TECHNIQUE L'invention concerne un volant de véhicule automobile comprenant au moins une branche comportant un trou apte à recevoir une commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse. On propose de plus en plus de version différente de véhicules aux clients. L'inconvénient est que cela induit une grande diversité de pièces ce qui coûte cher, complique le montage et complexifie la logistique. C'est le cas en particulier des véhicules dont le volant comprend des commandes de réglage de limitateur/limiteur de vitesse. En effet, selon que le véhicule doit être équipé ou non d'un régulateur, il doit être prévu des types de volants différents. Les documents EP-A-1 129 885 et EP-A-O 553 192 décrivent chacun des volants de véhicule comportant des boutons de commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse agencés dans des logements ménagés à la surface du volant. Cependant, dans le cas où il existe des versions différentes sans régulateur/limiteur de vitesse, on est obligé d'utiliser un autre type de volant car l'absence de boutons laisse à la surface du volant des logements vides peu esthétiques. L'invention a précisément pour objet un volant de véhicule qui remédie à cet inconvénient. Ce 2907721 2 but est atteint conformément à l'invention, par le fait que le trou apte à recevoir une commande de régulateur/limiteur est traversant. On peut ainsi proposer deux versions du 5 véhicule (avec ou sans régulateur/limiteur de vitesse) avec un seul type de volant. Dans le cas où le véhicule ne propose pas de fonction régulateur/limiteur de vitesse, les boutons de commande sont absents et le volant comporte un ou deux orifices présentant un 10 aspect esthétique ne donnant pas l'impression qu'il manque quelque chose. Les trous aptes à recevoir la commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse ne donnent pas l'impression qu'il s'agit de logements inutilisés. Dans le cas où le véhicule propose la 15 fonction régulateur/limiteur de vitesse, un module de commande est inséré dans le trou traversant. Il est alors prévu des moyens d'alimentation du module. Le module est monté par exemple par encliquetage dans le trou d'au moins une branche.  TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a motor vehicle steering wheel comprising at least one branch comprising a hole adapted to receive a speed regulator / speed limiter control. More and more different versions of vehicles are being offered to customers. The disadvantage is that it induces a wide variety of parts which is expensive, complicated assembly and complexity of logistics. This is particularly the case for vehicles whose steering wheel includes speed limiter / speed limiter controls. Indeed, depending on whether the vehicle must be equipped with a regulator or not, it must be provided different types of wheels. Documents EP-A-1 129 885 and EP-A-0 553 192 each describe vehicle steering wheels having cruise control / speed limiter control knobs arranged in recesses provided on the surface of the steering wheel. However, in the case where there are different versions without regulator / speed limiter, it is necessary to use another type of steering wheel because the absence of buttons leaves the surface of the steering wheel empty homes unattractive. The invention specifically relates to a vehicle steering wheel that overcomes this disadvantage. This purpose is achieved according to the invention, in that the hole adapted to receive a controller / limiter control is through. It is thus possible to propose two versions of the vehicle (with or without regulator / speed limiter) with only one type of steering wheel. In the case where the vehicle does not offer a cruise control / speed limiter function, the control buttons are absent and the steering wheel has one or two orifices having an aesthetic appearance that does not give the impression that something is missing. Holes capable of receiving cruise control / speed limiter control do not give the impression that these are unused accommodations. In the case where the vehicle proposes the cruise control / speed limiter function, a control module is inserted into the through hole. It is then provided power supply module. The module is mounted for example by snapping into the hole of at least one branch.

20 Dans le cas d'un véhicule avec conduite à droite il est possible de prévoir le trou traversant à gauche si nécessaire. Dans une réalisation préférée, le volant comporte au moins une branche droite et une branche 25 gauche chacune des branches gauche et droite étant apte à recevoir une commande de régulateur/limitateur de vitesse. Avantageusement la commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse se présente sous la forme d'un module comportant les boutons de réglage de 2907721 3 la vitesse et les boutons d'activation/désactivation du régulateur/limiteur de vitesse. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore à la lecture de la 5 description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation donné à titre illustratif en référence aux figures annexées. Sur ces figures : la figure 1 est une vue d'un volant conforme à la présente invention sans commande de 10 régulateur/limiteur de vitesse inséré ; - la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective du volant de la figure 1 montrant l'insertion de la commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse ; 15 - la figure 3 est une vue du volant de l'invention avec la commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse inséré. Sur la figure 1, le volant 2 comporte trois branches, à savoir une branche gauche 4, une branche 20 droite 6 et une branche centrale 8. Conformément à l'invention chacune des branches gauche et droite 4, 6 comporte un trou traversant 10 apte à recevoir une commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse. La branche centrale 8, au contraire, ne comporte pas de trou.In the case of a right-hand drive vehicle it is possible to provide the left through hole if necessary. In a preferred embodiment, the steering wheel comprises at least one straight branch and one left branch each of the left and right branches being able to receive a cruise control / speed limiter control. Advantageously, the cruise control / speed limiter control is in the form of a module comprising the speed adjustment buttons and the cruise control / speed limiter on / off buttons. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment given by way of illustration with reference to the appended figures. In these figures: FIG. 1 is a view of a steering wheel according to the present invention without an inserted cruise control / speed limiter control; FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of the steering wheel of FIG. 1 showing the insertion of the cruise control / speed limiter control; Figure 3 is a view of the steering wheel of the invention with the cruise control / speed limiter control inserted. In FIG. 1, the flywheel 2 comprises three branches, namely a left branch 4, a right branch 6 and a central branch 8. According to the invention, each of the left and right branches 4, 6 has a through hole 10 capable of to receive a cruise control / speed limiter command. The central branch 8, on the contrary, has no hole.

25 Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, un module 12 comportant des boutons de réglage de la vitesse et les boutons d'activation/désactivation du régulateur/limiteur de vitesse peut être introduit et maintenu dans le trou 10 de la branche droite 6.As can be seen in FIG. 2, a module 12 having speed control knobs and the cruise control / speed limiter enable / disable buttons can be inserted and held in the right branch hole 10. .

30 On a représenté sur la figure 3 le volant 2 de la figure 1 avec la commande de régulateur/limiteur 2907721 4 de vitesse intégré dans le trou 10 de la branche 6. En revanche le trou traversant 10 de la branche 4 reste vide. Cependant, le trou 10 présente une forme esthétique ne donnant pas une impression d'inachevé.FIG. 3 shows the steering wheel 2 of FIG. 1 with the speed limiter / regulator control integrated in the hole 10 of the branch 6. On the other hand, the through hole 10 of the branch 4 remains empty. However, the hole 10 has an aesthetic shape does not give an impression of unfinished.

5 En variante de réalisation, il est possible d'insérer la commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse 12 dans le trou 10 de la branche gauche 4, le trou 10 de la branche droite 6 restant alors initulisé. Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, il est possible 10 d'équiper du même volant les véhicules ne proposant pas la fonction de commande de régulateur/limiteur de vitesse et les véhicules qui proposent cette fonction. Cette solution présente de nombreux avantages . - elle est esthétique ; - elle simplifie la logistique et le montage du volant ; -elle permet une diminution du nombre de pièces détachées ; elle permet une baisse du coût de fabrication. 15 20In an alternative embodiment, it is possible to insert the regulator / speed limiter control 12 in the hole 10 of the left branch 4, the hole 10 of the right branch 6 remaining then initiated. Thus, thanks to the invention, it is possible to equip the same steering wheel with vehicles that do not offer the cruise control / speed limiter function and the vehicles that offer this function. This solution has many advantages. - it is aesthetic; - it simplifies the logistics and assembly of the steering wheel; it allows a decrease in the number of spare parts; it allows a lowering of the cost of manufacture. 15 20
