Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of vehicles and, in particular but not exclusively to motor vehicles. More specifically, the invention relates to utility accessories intended to be brought inside a vehicle in order to extend its functionality. Vehicles have become a place of work, especially for those working, as itinerant salespeople. These professionals then make their vehicle a secondary office, inside which they are called upon to consult documents, take notes after telephone conversations, write reports of visits, enter data on a laptop ...
- the discomfort and lack of practicality of the vehicle as a workplace is the nature to cause the fall of objects that can be fragile, such as phones or laptops, which can therefore deteriorate them or lead to perilous situations when the driver tries to catch them or put them back in place while driving the vehicle '.
- the invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the prior art. More specifically, the invention aims to provide an accessory which can be arranged rigidly and temporarily inside a vehicle so as to constitute a work plan.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such a work plan which can be adapted to all vehicles, or at least most vehicles.
- the invention also aims to provide such a work plan which can be easily assembled and disassembled inside vehicles.
- another objective of the invention is to propose a system which can be secured in a removable manner without having to use a tool.
- An objective of the invention is also to allow the mounting and dismounting of such a work plan without any deterioration or any final modification being produced in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- the invention also aims to provide such a work plan adjustable in position inside the vehicle and which can in particular pass from a position of use opposite a seat to a standby position opposite another seat.
- the invention also aims to provide such a work plan that can be used from the driving position, be close to or away from it, without the driving members making obstacles to the movement of the work plan.
- the invention also aims to provide such a work plan which prevents as far as possible the fall of objects resting on it due to the tremors and movements of the vehicle.
- a particular objective of the invention is to propose such a work plan which is able to support, in a reliable manner in road conditions, a portable computer and to allow its various connections in an ergonomic way.
- the invention also aims to provide "such a work plan which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the vehicle seat adjustment slides allowing the front seats to be moved forward or backward / constitute a reliable and efficient attachment point for such a work plan.
- all, or almost all current vehicles are provided with such slides.
- the work surface according to the invention can therefore be installed in most motor vehicles or other vehicles (trucks, vans, motorhomes, etc.).
- said base comprises an arm intended to be placed in abutment on one of said slides to be secured therein.
- the slides generally in the shape of a U, form a seat for the arm of the base, thus ensuring it an effective positioning.
- said securing means comprise hooks intended to cooperate with one of said slides, said hooks being able to be interconnected by clamping means so as to hold said arm against said slide.
- the hook principle can therefore be applied to multiple vehicle models, allowing mass production of the hooks.
- such an assembly does not cause any deterioration (due for example to a drilling or the like) or final modification of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- said clamping means comprise at least one loop passing through orifices formed in said hooks and means capable of tightening said loop while pressing said arm against said slide.
- This solution provides a simple and inexpensive means to achieve. It also has a small footprint when the work surface is removed from the vehicle.
- said arm is
- said base comprises a leg intended to form a support on the floor of said vehicle.
- said arm and said leg are coupled by a T-element.
- the coupling of the arm and the leg with the T-element can be carried out so as to obtain telescopic connections to increase the possibilities of adjustment.
- the arm is coupled to the leg by a rigid connection obtained by welding or the like.
- said base comprises a support arm • of the plate pivotally mounted in or on said T-element.
- This arrangement further increases the number of modifications to the position of the work surface and in particular ensures the possibility for the user to move, by a simple gesture, the work plan from an active use position to a standby position (freeing up the driving space for example).
- said plate is orientable relative to the axis of said support arm of said plate.
- said tray includes flanges.
- the tray can thus support and maintain documents, computer or other objects thanks to the edges, including during certain driving phases causing the vehicle to shake or tilt.
- said flanges have orifices allowing a device placed on said tray to be connected with other devices outside said tray.
- Cabling for example of a computer, is thus made possible, or at the very least facilitated. These holes in the edges can prove to be essential when wireless connections (of the infrared type for example) must be obtained.
- FIG. 1 gives an overall perspective view of the work plan according to the invention
- 2 shows a hook preferably used for anchoring the work surface according to the invention on a slide of the vehicle
- - Figures 3 to 5 illustrate, in sectional views, the means for securing the base of the work plan according to the invention on a slide of the vehicle;
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a variant of a T-shaped element of the base shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 A work plan intended, according to the invention, to equip the interior of a vehicle comprising slides 1 for adjusting the position of a seat is illustrated in FIG. 1.
- This work plan includes a tray 2 and a base comprising in particular:
- leg 4 intended to form a support on the floor of the vehicle
- the different parts of the base are made with metal tubes, so that the connections of the arm 3, the leg 4 and the support arm 6 with the T-element 5 allowing a movement of sliding and / or pivoting.
- the arm 3 is doubly bent in a Z, in the form of a crankshaft or crank.
- One end of the arm 3 being maintained along the slide 1, the rotation of the arm 3 (the leg 4 being pre-essentially free to slide during this operation) causes the movement of the base on a path substantially coincident with the line in dotted lines shown in figure 1.
- the support arm 6 carries plates 61 provided with lugs (not shown), protruding through oblong slots 21 formed in the tray 2.
- FIG. 2 there is shown a hook 8 participating in the anchoring of the base on a slide.
- This hook 8 has a general asymmetrical U shape, the longest upright 81 of which is slightly folded towards the inside of the U, an orifice 82, in the form of an oblong opening, being formed in the upright 81.
- the hook 8 which has just been described is intended to be attached to a slide 1, that the latter has a general U shape, the uprights of which are folded inwards (case of FIG. 3) or towards the outside (case of figure 5) or an L shape whose base and upright are folded (case of Figure 4).
- the hooks 8 inserted in the folds of the slide 1 are interconnected by tightening means comprising a strap 9 in the form of a loop, passing through the orifices 82 of the hooks 8, a lever in L 92 and a plate 91 interposed between the strap 9 and the arm 3.
- the lever in L 92 has a cooperating thread, with a threaded bore formed in the plate 91.
- the plate 2 comprises a bottom 22 on which the flanges 23 are mounted, the bottom 22 and the flanges 23 can be made in wood. In another embodiment, the plate 2 can however be made of other materials.
- the flanges 23 have several orifices 231 advantageously distributed so as to provide passages making it possible to connect (either by an appropriate connector, or by a wireless link) an appliance, for example a computer, placed on the tray with other appliances in outside the set.
- the plate 2 can also be fitted with a cover 25 hinged on one of the flanges 23.
- FIG. 7 represents a junction piece 10 that can be provided in the base • in. replacement- of the T-shaped element 5. It is a compact block, without - no sharp edges, having a shape reminiscent of that of a pommel, advantageously made of plastic.
- the part 10 comprises horizontally a first through bore 101 oriented along AA, intended to receive with sliding and rotating ability the arm 3 which can be locked in the desired position, for example by means of a clamping screw implanted as illustrated by the Al axis line in the drawing.
- the part 10 On one side, that is to say in the vicinity of an end portion of the bore 101, the part 10 comprises a second bore 102 oriented vertically along BB and open only upwards, intended to receive the arm or upright 6 for supporting the plate 2; which arm 6 is advantageously telescopic in this version of the base.
- the locking and the adjustment in position of the arm 6 can be carried out in a practical manner with simple means comprising a radial finger 60, for example a screw, protruding on the lower part of the arm 6, and which cooperates with in s 'engaging in a set of grooves in the wall of the bore 102: a first vertical groove 105 open above, and communicating slightly below its lower end near the bottom of the bore 102 with a horizontal groove 106, the latter extending over all or part of the circumference and being in turn open downwards in one or more short vertical grooves 107.
- a radial finger 60 for example a screw
- the part 10 comprises a last bore 103 vertically oriented along CC and open below, intended to receive the leg 4.
- the latter is advantageously a jack-type foot screwed into the bore 103 tapped for this purpose.
- the part 10 is relatively elongated vertically, at least in its part comprising the bore 103, to allow a sufficiently substantial adjustment stroke.
- the bore 103 is preferably located on the same side of the bore 101 as the bore 102, and in an intermediate position between the bore 102 and the inlet orifice for the arm 3 of the bore 101.
- the part 10 is advantageously designed in several distinct parts 10a, 10b, 10c to then be joined by gluing, as illustrated the lines in thin line on the drawing, to facilitate its manufacture by molding.
- the part 10 Compared to the T-shaped element 5, the part 10 has the advantages in particular of being compact in shape, without sharp angles and much less bulky, and of allowing an increased adjustment stroke on the arm 3.
