Abstract
Description
1 Boîte vide-poches disposée sous la planche de bord d'un véhicule1 storage box arranged under the dashboard of a vehicle
automobile, cette boîte étant rabattable pour constituer un repose-pieds. La présente invention concerne une boîte vide-poches disposée sous la planche de bord d'un véhicule automobile, devant le siège du passager. Il existe actuellement un besoin pour le passager du siège avant d'un véhicule automobile, de pouvoir reposer ses pieds dans une position élevée par rapport au plancher du véhicule. Le DE 198 25 652 Al décrit une solution qui satisfait en partie à ce besoin. Ce document décrit un compartiment situé en dessous de la planche de bord et au-dessus du plancher du véhicule, compartiment duquel le passager peut extraire une boîte à objets. automobile, this box being foldable to constitute a footrest. The present invention relates to a storage box arranged under the dashboard of a motor vehicle, in front of the passenger seat. There is currently a need for the passenger in the front seat of a motor vehicle, to be able to rest his feet in a high position relative to the floor of the vehicle. DE 198 25 652 A1 describes a solution which partly satisfies this need. This document describes a compartment located below the dashboard and above the floor of the vehicle, the compartment from which the passenger can extract an object box.
Lorsque cette boîte à objets est extraite, il subsiste un logement ouvert vers le passager dans lequel celui-ci peut engager ses pieds pour les maintenir en position surélevée par rapport au plancher. Cette solution nécessite donc d'enlever la boîte à objets et de ranger celle-ci dans un autre endroit du véhicule, ce qui constitue un inconvénient. When this object box is extracted, there remains a housing open to the passenger in which it can engage his feet to maintain elevated position relative to the floor. This solution therefore requires removing the object box and store it in another place of the vehicle, which is a drawback.
Le but de la présente invention est de créer un repose-pieds pour le passager avant d'un véhicule automobile permettant à ce passager de reposer confortablement ses pieds dans une position surélevée sans être gêné par la présence de la boîte vide-poches. Ce but est atteint selon l'invention, grâce à une boîte vide-poches disposée sous une planche de bord d'un véhicule automobile, devant un siège d'un passager, comportant sur sa face dirigée vers le siège un couvercle mobile entre une position fermée et une position ouverte, caractérisée en ce que l'ensemble de la boîte vide-poches est monté pivotant suivant un axe entre une première position dans laquelle cet ensemble est fixé sous la planche de bord et une seconde position dans laquelle cet ensemble est rabattu vers le plancher du véhicule, la face supérieure de la boîte vide-poches présentant une inclinaison telle qu'elle est apte à servir de reposepieds pour le passager. Ainsi, lorsque la boîte vide-poches est dans la position rabattue vers le bas, elle forme elle-même un repose-pieds confortable pour le passager. DB5231 FR DEM 0 2910404 2 Etant donné que la place qui est normalement occupée par la boîte vide-poches est libérée, le passager peut reposer ses pieds dans une position nettement surélevée par rapport au plancher, ce qui lui procure un confort amélioré. The object of the present invention is to create a footrest for the front passenger of a motor vehicle that allows this passenger to rest comfortably his feet in an elevated position without being bothered by the presence of the box-pockets. This object is achieved according to the invention, thanks to a storage box arranged under a dashboard of a motor vehicle, in front of a seat of a passenger, having on its face facing the seat a movable cover between a position closed and an open position, characterized in that the entire storage box is pivotally mounted along an axis between a first position in which this set is fixed under the dashboard and a second position in which the assembly is folded down towards the floor of the vehicle, the upper face of the storage box having an inclination such that it is able to serve as footpegs for the passenger. Thus, when the storage compartment box is in the folded down position, it forms itself a comfortable footrest for the passenger. DB5231 EN DEM 0 2910404 2 Since the space that is normally occupied by the storage box is released, the passenger can rest his feet in a position significantly higher than the floor, which gives him improved comfort.
5 L'axe de pivotement dudit ensemble peut être transversal et être situé sous la planche de bord et près du bord avant de celle-ci. La face supérieure de la boîte vide-poches peut présenter une surface sensiblement plane, un bossage en saillie vers le haut étant formé près de son bord arrière.The pivot axis of said assembly may be transverse and be located under the dashboard and near the front edge thereof. The upper face of the storage box may have a substantially planar surface with an upwardly projecting boss being formed near its trailing edge.
10 Ce bossage constitue une butée confortable pour les pieds du passager. Selon une autre particularité de l'invention, dans la seconde position, la face comportant le couvercle est dirigée vers le plancher du véhicule. Dans la seconde position, la face inférieure de la boîte vide-poches peut être en appui sur un bossage formé sur le tablier du véhicule.This boss is a comfortable stop for the passenger's feet. According to another feature of the invention, in the second position, the face with the cover is directed towards the floor of the vehicle. In the second position, the underside of the storage box can be supported on a boss formed on the apron of the vehicle.
15 Cet appui permet de maintenir la surface inclinée de la boîte vide-poches dans une position optimale pour les pieds et d'éviter que la face comportant le couvercle de la boîte vide-poches s'appuie sur le plancher du véhicule. Bien entendu, des moyens sont prévus pour verrouiller la boîte vide-poches dans ladite première position.This support makes it possible to keep the inclined surface of the storage box in an optimal position for the feet and to prevent the face with the lid of the storage box from resting on the floor of the vehicle. Of course, means are provided for locking the box-pockets in said first position.
20 D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore tout au long de la description ci-après. Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples, non limitatifs : - la figure 1 est une vue en coupe schématique de la paroi inférieure de la planche de bord d'un véhicule, de la boîte vide-poches fixée sous 25 cette planche de bord et du plancher du véhicule, - la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, montrant la boîte vide-poches en position rabattue vers le bas pour constituer un repose-pieds. La figure 1 représente en coupe suivant la direction longitudinale d'un véhicule automobile, une boîte vide-poches 1 disposée sous la planche de bord 2 du véhicule automobile, devant le siège (non représenté) du passager. Cette boîte vide-poches 1 comporte sur sa face dirigée vers le siège, un couvercle 3 mobile DB5231 FR DEM 0 2910404 3 entre une position fermée et une position ouverte (représentée en traits pointillés sur la figure 1). Conformément à l'invention, l'ensemble de la boîte vide-poches 1 est monté pivotant suivant un axe 4 entre une première position (voir figure 1) dans laquelle 5 cet ensemble est fixé sous la paroi inférieure 2a de la planche de bord et une seconde position dans laquelle (voir figure 2) cet ensemble est rabattu vers le plancher 5 du véhicule, la face supérieure la de la boîte vide-poches 1 présentant une inclinaison telle qu'elle puisse servir de repose-pieds pour les pieds 6 du passager.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the description hereinafter. In the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting example: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of the lower wall of the dashboard of a vehicle, of the box of pockets fixed under this plate of 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the storage box in the folded down position to constitute a footrest. FIG. 1 is a sectional view along the longitudinal direction of a motor vehicle of a box 1 located under the dashboard 2 of the motor vehicle, in front of the seat (not shown) of the passenger. This storage box 1 has on its face facing the seat, a cover 3 movable DB5231 FR DEM 0 2910404 3 between a closed position and an open position (shown in dashed lines in Figure 1). According to the invention, the whole of the storage box 1 is pivotally mounted along an axis 4 between a first position (see FIG. 1) in which this assembly is fixed under the bottom wall 2a of the dashboard and a second position in which (see Figure 2) this assembly is folded towards the floor 5 of the vehicle, the upper face of the storage box 1 having an inclination such that it can serve as footrest for the feet 6 of the passenger.
10 L'axe de pivotement 4 de la boîte vide-poches 1 est transversal et est situé sous la planche de bord 2 et près du bord avant 2b de celle-ci. Par ailleurs, la face supérieure 1 a de la boîte vide-poches 1 présente une surface sensiblement plane. Un bossage 6a en saillie vers le haut est formé près de son bord arrière 1 b.The pivot axis 4 of the storage box 1 is transverse and is located under the dashboard 2 and near the front edge 2b thereof. Furthermore, the upper face 1a of the storage box 1 has a substantially flat surface. An upwardly protruding boss 6a is formed near its trailing edge 1b.
15 Dans la seconde position, c'est-à-dire celle représentée sur la figure 2, la face comportant le couvercle 3 est dirigée vers le plancher 5 du véhicule et s'étend au-dessus de ce plancher 5. De plus, dans cette seconde position, la face inférieure 1c de la boîte vide-poches 1 est en appui sur un bossage 7 formé sur le tablier du véhicule.In the second position, that is to say that shown in FIG. 2, the face with the cover 3 is directed towards the floor 5 of the vehicle and extends above this floor 5. this second position, the lower face 1c of the storage compartment 1 is supported on a boss 7 formed on the apron of the vehicle.
20 Bien entendu, des moyens, non représentés, mais bien connus par l'homme du métier, sont prévus pour verrouiller la boîte vide-poches 1 dans ladite première position, telle que représentée sur la figure 1. Les principaux avantages de la boîte vide-poches selon l'invention sont les suivants.Of course, means, not shown, but well known to those skilled in the art, are provided for locking the storage box 1 in said first position, as shown in Figure 1. The main advantages of the empty box -pockets according to the invention are as follows.
25 Dans la position normale, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, la boîte videpoches 1 est verrouillée sous la planche de bord 2. Le passager a accès à l'intérieur de la boîte vide-poches 1 grâce au couvercle rabattable 3. Dans cette position, le passager ne peut pas reposer ses pieds en position 30 surélevée par rapport au plancher du véhicule, car il est gêné par la présence de la boîte vide-poches 1. Dans la position du boîtier vide-poches 1 rabattue vers le plancher 5 représentée sur la figure 2, le passager peut à la fois lever ses pieds 6 vers la DB5231 FR DEM 0 2910404 4 paroi inférieure 2a de la planche de bord et les reposer sur la face inclinée la de la boîte vide-poches 1. Le bossage 6a prévu à l'arrière de la surface inclinée la constitue une butée qui empêche le glissement des pieds 6 vers le plancher. DB5231 FR DEM 0In the normal position, as shown in FIG. 1, the empty box 1 is locked under the dashboard 2. The passenger has access to the interior of the storage compartment 1 by means of the folding lid 3. In this position, the passenger can not rest his feet in raised position relative to the floor of the vehicle, because it is hindered by the presence of the box-pockets 1. In the position of the pocket-storage box 1 folded towards the floor 5 shown in Figure 2, the passenger can both lift his feet 6 to the DB231 FR DEM 0 2910404 4 bottom wall 2a of the dashboard and rest on the inclined face la of the box pockets 1. The boss 6a provided at the rear of the inclined surface is a stop that prevents the sliding of the feet 6 to the floor. DB5231 EN DEM 0
