Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif à installer sur une structure rigide pour en augmenter la surface utilisable en créant une extension par déploiement du dit dispositif.The present invention relates to a device to be installed on a rigid structure to increase its usable surface area by creating an extension by deploying said device.
Cette structure rigide peut notamment être le côté ouvert d’un petit fourgon ou être placée sur une remorque. Dans ce dernier cas, cette structure rigide sera alors composée d’un toit posé sur les côtés surélevés et fermés avant et arrière de la remorque.This rigid structure can notably be the open side of a small van or be placed on a trailer. In the latter case, this rigid structure will then be composed of a roof placed on the raised and closed front and rear sides of the trailer.
Cette extension permet de créer un espace « couchage » avec un lit double, transformant un fourgon en petit camping-car ou une remorque en mini-caravane. Le système pouvant se placer sur les deux côtés du véhicule, on peut avoir deux lits doubles.This extension allows you to create a “sleeping” space with a double bed, transforming a van into a small motorhome or a trailer into a mini-caravan. Since the system can be placed on both sides of the vehicle, we can have two double beds.
Il existe déjà de nombreux dispositifs dans ce domaine, mais ils sont, soit fermés avec de la toile de tente donc non sécurisés et non isolés, soit rigides, mais plus compliqués, avec des panneaux trop nombreux qui pivotent ou coulissent sans s’auto-coincer, engendrant des torsions de la structure qui accélère le vieillissement, augmentent le coût de fabrication ainsi que le temps de déploiement du système.There are already many devices in this area, but they are either closed with tent fabric and therefore not secure and not insulated, or rigid, but more complicated, with too many panels which pivot or slide without self-propelled. jamming, causing twisting of the structure which accelerates aging, increases the manufacturing cost as well as the deployment time of the system.
De plus, la plupart de ces systèmes obligent à déplier toute la caravane pour qu’elle soit fonctionnelle et étanche.In addition, most of these systems require the entire caravan to be unfolded so that it is functional and waterproof.
Le dispositif selon notre invention ne comporte que peu de panneaux rigides mobiles, qui se déploient facilement et s’auto-coincent pour rigidifier l’ensemble et éviter les grincements.The device according to our invention has only a few rigid movable panels, which deploy easily and self-lock to stiffen the whole and avoid squeaks.
Ce déploiement se fait sans bouger la structure rigide.This deployment is done without moving the rigid structure.
Il est, dans notre invention, possible de ne déplier qu’un seul dispositif pour n’avoir qu’un lit double : la caravane reste fonctionnelle, étanche, isolée et sécurisée.In our invention, it is possible to unfold only one device to have only one double bed: the caravan remains functional, waterproof, insulated and secure.
Il est possible de retirer le dispositif du véhicule pour retrouver l’usage d’origine de ce dernier.It is possible to remove the device from the vehicle to return to its original use.
Le dessin annexé
En référence avec ce dessin, le dispositif comporte un panneau principal (1) qui ferme le côté latéral de la structure rigide (6), notamment d’un véhicule, quand le dispositif est plié et qui, ce dernier déplié, constitue le toit de l’extension. Ce panneau (1) est solidaire du toit de la structure rigide (6) par des charnières.With reference to this drawing, the device comprises a main panel (1) which closes the lateral side of the rigid structure (6), in particular of a vehicle, when the device is folded and which, the latter unfolded, constitutes the roof of the extension. This panel (1) is secured to the roof of the rigid structure (6) by hinges.
Le dispositif comporte un autre panneau principal (2) fixé par des charnières sur les ridelles des longs côtés de la structure rigide, notamment sur les ridelles d’une remorque ou sur le bas de l’ouverture latérale d’un fourgon.The device comprises another main panel (2) fixed by hinges on the sides of the long sides of the rigid structure, in particular on the sides of a trailer or on the bottom of the side opening of a van.
Ce panneau (2), quand le dispositif est déplié, ferme le bas de l’extension et sert de sommier à la literie. Ce panneau possède des bords relevés sur les quatre côtés, le rebord supérieur (5) étant légèrement plus important.This panel (2), when the device is unfolded, closes the bottom of the extension and serves as a base for the bedding. This panel has raised edges on all four sides, with the top edge (5) being slightly larger.
C’est sur ce rebord plus important que va s’articuler un panneau (3) qui va fermer le long côté de l’extension en se fixant au panneau (1) par un système male/femelle.It is on this larger edge that a panel (3) will be articulated which will close the long side of the extension by attaching to the panel (1) by a male/female system.
Deux panneaux (4), articulés sur les rebords des petits côtés du panneau (2), vont venir fermer les côtés latéraux de l’extension, donc l’extension entière, et coincer le panneau (3) en se fixant au panneau (1) par des verrous ne pouvant être manipulés que de l’intérieur.Two panels (4), hinged on the edges of the short sides of the panel (2), will close the lateral sides of the extension, therefore the entire extension, and wedge the panel (3) by attaching to the panel (1 ) by locks that can only be manipulated from the inside.
En position dispositif plié, les panneaux (4) maintiennent la literie verticale et le panneau (3), se pliant par-dessus, maintient les panneaux (4), le quatrième bord relevé ne sert qu’à retenir la literie.In the folded device position, the panels (4) hold the bedding vertical and the panel (3), folding over it, holds the panels (4), the fourth raised edge only serves to hold the bedding.
Le dispositif selon l’invention permet de transformer notamment une remorque en mini-caravane rigide, isolée et sécurisée. Cette caravane, en fait une chambre d’un ou deux lits doubles, est facile à remorquer et à garer de par son faible encombrement en position pliée. Remorquée par un petit camping-car, elle en augmente le nombre de couchages. Le dispositif placé sur un petit fourgon le transforme en camping-car.The device according to the invention makes it possible to transform a trailer into a rigid, insulated and secure mini-caravan. This caravan, actually a room with one or two double beds, is easy to tow and park due to its small footprint in the folded position. Towed by a small motorhome, it increases the number of beds. The device placed on a small van transforms it into a camper van.
Le dispositif pouvant être enlevé, mis à part le panneau (1), le véhicule, côté fermé par le panneau (1), retrouve alors sa destination d’origine.The device can be removed, apart from the panel (1), the vehicle, on the side closed by the panel (1), then returns to its original destination.
