Abstract

Device for delimiting the linear parking space of a motor vehicle. The invention relates to a device for ensuring the user a sufficient parking space between his vehicle and another. It consists of two housings (6) having an orifice (8) in which slides an arm (1) crenellated (10) by gearing (5) and (11) motorized (7). A rod (2) adjustable in height is assembled on the end of the arms (1). The arms (1) are provided with two fins (3) to facilitate sliding in the grooves (9) of the housings (6). The boxes are connected by a tunnel of three stacked tubes (4) allowing their spacing adjustment and the passage of electrical wires. When the user actuates the motor (7) with a remote control the arms (1) are driven. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to provide the user of a motor vehicle a minimum linear parking space between the other vehicles.

LINEAR PARKING OF A VEHICLE

PU AUTOMOTIVE SPACE DELIMITATION DEVICE.

FR 3 059 293 - A1 (§7) Device for defining the linear parking space of a motor vehicle.

The invention relates to a device for providing the user with sufficient parking space between his vehicle and another.

It consists of two housings (6) having an orifice (8) in which slides a crenellated arm (1) (10) by gear (5) and (11) motorized (7). A height adjustable rod (2) is assembled on the end of the arms (1). The arms (1) are provided with two fins (3) to facilitate sliding in the grooves (9) of the housings (6). The boxes are connected by a tunnel of three stacked tubes (4) allowing their spacing adjustment as well as the passage of electrical wires. When the user actuates the motor (7) using a remote control, the arms (1) are driven.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended to provide the user of a motor vehicle with a minimum linear parking space between the other vehicles.

The present invention relates to a device for delimiting the linear parking space of a motor vehicle.

The problem of linear parking in the city, and more particularly when the locations are not marked on the ground, raises the possibility that one vehicle is stuck by another because of being too close.

The device according to the invention overcomes the problem by providing the user with sufficient parking space between his vehicle and another. According to a first characteristic, it comprises two arms placed under the chassis at the front of the vehicle, each having a crenellated part over its length, two opposite fins and a perpendicular rod adjustable in height. These arms, making it possible to provide the user with the necessary parking space after being deployed, consist of a cylindrical bar and a rod perpendicular to its end. According to a second characteristic, it indeed comprises two housings having an orifice through which an arm can slide. These boxes which allow the arms to deploy and retract, are equipped with a large gear, a small gear connected to a motor; thus the whole of the motorized gear drives the arm ensuring it a regular linear deployment and without effort. According to a third characteristic, it in fact comprises two opposite grooves embedded in each of the boxes having a balance guide. These two grooves allowing the ailerons of the arm to follow the guide, ensures the linear balance of the arm during its deployment. According to a fourth characteristic, it comprises a tunnel having three stacked tubes. This tunnel for adjusting the spacing of the boxes and the passage of the electrical wires of the motorization of the device, provides the user with a fastening adaptable to his vehicle.

According to particular embodiments:

- The rods can be fitted with a reflector to guarantee the device visibility at all times and at night.

- 2 The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Figure 1 shows in profile, the arm and the two gears of the device of the invention.

2 shows in section, the right housing of the device of the invention.

Figure 3 shows in section, the left housing of the device of the invention.

Figure 4 shows from the front, the housing of the device of the invention.

Figure 5 shows in section, the device of the invention.

With reference to these drawings, the device comprises two boxes (6) connected by a tunnel of three stacked tubes (4), placed under the chassis at the front of the vehicle, each provided with an orifice (8) in which slides a arm (1) attached to a perpendicular rod (2) at its height adjustable end. When the vehicle is parked, the user deploys the device. The deployment of the arm (1) is done by an automatic linear extraction using a mobile remote control or a fixed remote control adaptable from the dashboard of the vehicle. The activation of the arm (1) is driven by the toothed wheel (5) which fits into the rack (10), actuated by the motor (7) and the gear of the small toothed wheel (11). The deployment is done by a horizontal linear extraction thanks to the ailerons (3) sliding in the furrows (9). When the extraction is complete, the arm (1) remains immobilized.

By way of nonlimiting example, the arm will have a length of 70cm for a diameter of 3cm, and a perpendicular rod with a length of 20cm to 36cm depending on the expected height adjustment. The commissioning of the device offers the user a space of 50cm at the front, which provides him with maneuvering comfort when leaving his parking area.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended to provide the user of a motor vehicle with a minimum linear parking space between the other vehicles.
