Description

Fixing set

The technical context of the present invention is that of screens fixed solidly to the dashboard of a motor vehicle and associated fixing systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a fixing assembly.

In the state of the art, motor vehicle dashboards are known extending at the front of a passenger compartment of said vehicle and behind a windshield. Dashboards, also called instrument clusters, include driving information devices allowing the driver of a motor vehicle to have information relating to his driving and information relating to said motor vehicle. The driver is informed of various parameters, such as parameters internal to the motor vehicle, driving information, information relating to the comfort of the occupants, navigation services and other indicators. Dashboards may include a screen, in particular a readable and accessible central screen next to the steering wheel. A large number of motor vehicle functions can be controlled and configured from the central screen, for example by touch: information on the motor vehicle, audio system, navigation aid, communication, comfort of the passenger compartment and other parameters.

Dashboard screens comprising a screen slab of the TFT LCD type (for thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display) are known to be fixed on supports retaining said slab. In the state of the art, there are known fixing devices in the form of an ear intended to be taken between a screw and a nut or an assembly nut.

A disadvantage of these fixtures is that each TFT LCD assembly silhouette is intended to cooperate with a specific bracket. In other words, each project requires specific locations to position the fixing devices in the dashboard.

The object of the present invention is to provide a fastening assembly in order to at least largely respond to the above problems and also to lead to other advantages.

Another object of the invention is to provide a modular fixing assembly configured to adapt to different motor vehicles.

Another object of the invention is to propose a fixing assembly making it possible to avoid the reference diversity of a support/TFT assembly.

Another object of the invention is a durable fastener assembly, which can be used on a variety of projects.

In the first coupling position, the fixing clip is secured to the rail so that it can no longer be moved longitudinally along said rail. On the other hand, in its second coupling position, the fixing clip can be moved along the rail in order to determine a longitudinal position of said fixing clip on said rail.

In the first coupling position, the fixing clip is intended to be fixed integrally to a support located opposite the fixing clip and the rail, for example by screwing.
