Abstract

The device (1) has an adjusting unit for adjusting a height of a base (3) of an arm (2) with variable length, where the base of the arm is carried by a plate (4), which is cooperated with a slider shoe (5). The base of the arm is articulated around an axle that is horizontal and orthogonal to a longitudinal axle of a motor vehicle e.g. car, such that tilting of the arm produces displacement of the base based on the longitudinal axle of the vehicle. The arm includes a vertical pivoting axle (7) for pivoting the base in a horizontal plane.

Description

DISPOSITIF MONOPIED DE SUPPORT D'UNE ASSISE DE SIEGE. L'invention seMONOPODED DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING A SEAT SEAT. The invention

rapporte à un dispositif de manoeuvre d'un siège de véhicule. Au moins le siège du conducteur du véhicule doit pouvoir être déplacé pour adapter la position de conduite à la morphologie du conducteur.  relates to a device for maneuvering a vehicle seat. At least the driver's seat of the vehicle must be able to be moved to adapt the driving position to the morphology of the driver.

Le dispositif de manoeuvre comporte généralement un réglage selon l'axe de déplacement du véhicule c'est à dire vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière du véhicule. Il comporte, parfois, un réglage en hauteur et parfois un réglage en inclinaison de l'assise. Pour le réglage suivant le sens de déplacement conventionnel du véhicule, on fait appel à des glissières. Le siège comporte à sa base des patins qui coopèrent avec les glissières. Les sièges les moins sophistiqués ne comportent que ce réglage. Pour le déplacement vertical, on fait généralement appel à des biellettes montées à la manière d'un parallélogramme déformable en sorte de déplacer l'assise verticalement sans en modifier l'orientation de l'assise mais en modifiant la distance entre l'assise et les pédales. Pour ce qui concerne l'inclinaison de l'assise , on fait souvent appel à des cames . L'invention propose une solution nouvelle. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de manoeuvre d'un siège de véhicule comprenant un moyen de réglage en hauteur de l'assise, ce dispositif de manoeuvre étant caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par un bras central de longueur variable. L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin qui représente schématiquement FIG 1 Vue d'un Siège de voiture selon l'invention. FIG 2 Vue de la figure 1 selon F FIG 3 et 4 Vues d'une variante de siège en position reculécet en position avancée. FIG 5 Vue en coupe transversale d'un pied de siège pourvu d'un moyen de verrouillage en translation. En se reportant au dessin, on voit un dispositif 1 de manoeuvre d'un siège de véhicule comprenant un moyen de réglage en hauteur de l'assise.  The maneuvering device generally comprises an adjustment according to the axis of movement of the vehicle, that is towards the front or towards the rear of the vehicle. It includes, sometimes, a height adjustment and sometimes a tilt adjustment of the seat. For adjustment according to the conventional direction of movement of the vehicle, slides are used. The seat has at its base pads that cooperate with the slides. The least sophisticated seats only include this setting. For the vertical displacement, it is generally used rods mounted in the manner of a deformable parallelogram so as to move the seat vertically without changing the orientation of the seat but by changing the distance between the seat and the seats. pedals. As regards the inclination of the seat, it is often used cams. The invention proposes a new solution. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device for maneuvering a vehicle seat comprising means for adjusting the height of the seat, this operating device being characterized in that it consists of a central arm of variable length. The invention will be better understood using the following description given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the drawing which shows schematically FIG 1 view of a car seat according to the invention. FIG. 2 View of FIG. 1 according to FIG. 3 and 4. Views of a seat variant in the recoil position and in the advanced position. FIG. 5 Cross-sectional view of a seat leg provided with translation locking means. Referring to the drawing, there is shown a device 1 for maneuvering a vehicle seat comprising means for adjusting the height of the seat.

Ce dispositif est constitué par un bras 2 de longueur variable. Ce bras peut être constitué à la manière d'un équilibreur.  This device consists of an arm 2 of variable length. This arm can be constituted in the manner of a balancer.

Le bras peut loger l'équilibreur ou constituer le corps dudit équilibreur. Dans une première forme de réalisation (figures 1 et 2), la base 3 du bras est rigidement portée par une plaque 4 qui coopère avec deux glissières 5 .Cette plaque 4 constitue une partie des glissières ce qui permet d'augmenter la stabilité du siège.  The arm can house the balancer or constitute the body of said balancer. In a first embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2), the base 3 of the arm is rigidly supported by a plate 4 which co-operates with two slides 5. This plate 4 forms part of the slides, which makes it possible to increase the stability of the seat .

La position du bras par rapport à la plaque est fixe. C'est à dire, on ne peut modifier son inclinaison. L'emprise en largeur du bras est alors faible ce qui permet au passager arrière de disposer de la place pour les pieds. Le bras comporte éventuellement avec l'assise, un axe de pivot vertical afin de 10 pouvoir faire pivoter la dite assise dans le plan horizontal. Cette solution simple permet de limiter l'emprise des glissières de guidage selon l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. Pour le réglage de la distance entre l'assise et les pédales on fait coulisser l'ensemble sur les glissières.  The position of the arm relative to the plate is fixed. That is, we can not change its inclination. The width of the arm width is then low which allows the rear passenger to have room for the feet. The arm optionally comprises, with the seat, a vertical pivot axis in order to be able to rotate said seat in the horizontal plane. This simple solution limits the grip of the guide rails along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. For the adjustment of the distance between the seat and the pedals we slide the assembly on the slides.

15 Dans une seconde variante (figures 3 et 4) la base 3 du bras est articulée sur un axe 6 horizontal et orthogonal à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule de sorte que c'est le basculement du bras qui produit le déplacement de l'assise selon l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. Selon cette seconde variante, le bras comporte éventuellement avec l'assise, un axe 7 20 de pivot vertical afin de pouvoir faire pivoter la dite assise dans le plan horizontal. Dans une troisième variante qui peut être combinée ou non avec les solutions évoquées ci avant, la tête 8 du bras peut être articulée avec l'assise de sorte à régler son inclinaison. Des moyens de verrouillage ( non représenté) des différentes articulations sont prévus.In a second variant (FIGS. 3 and 4) the base 3 of the arm is articulated on a horizontal axis 6 and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle so that it is the tilting of the arm which produces the displacement of the seat along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. According to this second variant, the arm optionally comprises, with the seat, an axis 19 of vertical pivot in order to be able to pivot said seat in the horizontal plane. In a third variant that can be combined or not with the solutions mentioned above, the head 8 of the arm can be articulated with the seat so as to adjust its inclination. Locking means (not shown) of the different joints are provided.

25 On pourra utiliser une manette multifonction. On a également prévu un système de verrouillage 10 du siège permettant une reprise des efforts indépendamment des moyens évoqués ci dessus mais pouvant les compléter ou se substituer. Ce système de verrouillage comprend, de part et d'autre du siège, deux patins 11 30 latéraux tournés vers l'extérieur qui, sont par un moyen de déplacement mobile entre une position neutre où ces patins ne touchent aucune surface et une position active où chaque patin s'appuie sur une plaque 12 verticale fixée au plancher du véhicule et interdit tout mouvement du siège par rapport aux plaques. Le mouvement sera donc verrouillé horizontalement et verticalement. Le coefficient de friction entre le patin et la plaque sera adapté à la résistance 5 souhaitée. Il peut s'agir de dents coopérant avec des empreintes. En cas de choc, ce dispositif va donc participer à la résistance. Le patin peut être porté par des guides. Il peut être sollicité vers la plaque par un élément ressort ou un actionneur. La rotation du siège permet soit la convivialité soit facilite l'accès aux places arrières 10 dans le cas de véhicule deux portes.A multifunction joystick can be used. There is also provided a seat locking system 10 allowing efforts to be resumed independently of the means mentioned above but may complete or replace them. This locking system comprises, on either side of the seat, two outwardly facing lateral skids 11 which are by means of displacement movable between a neutral position where these skids do not touch any surface and an active position where each pad is supported on a vertical plate 12 fixed to the floor of the vehicle and prohibits movement of the seat relative to the plates. The movement will be locked horizontally and vertically. The coefficient of friction between the pad and the plate will be adapted to the desired strength. It may be teeth cooperating with fingerprints. In case of shock, this device will participate in the resistance. The pad can be worn by guides. It can be biased towards the plate by a spring element or an actuator. The rotation of the seat allows either the usability or facilitates access to the rear seats 10 in the case of two-door vehicle.
