Description

TOIT ESCAMOTABLE DE VEHICULE CONVERTIBLE VEHICLE ROOF
La présente invention concerne un toit escamotable de véhicule, et plus particulièrement un tel toit comprenant un élément de toit avant et un élément de toit arrière rigides déplaçables entre une position dans laquelle ils recouvrent l'habitacle du véhicule et une position dans laquelle ils sont rangés dans le coffre arrière du véhicule.The present invention relates to a retractable vehicle roof, and more particularly such a roof comprising a front roof element and a rigid rear roof element which can be moved between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a position in which they are stored. in the rear trunk of the vehicle.
Un tel toit escamotable permet de transformer un véhicule du type berline ou coupé en un véhicule du type cabriolet.Such a retractable roof makes it possible to transform a vehicle of the sedan or coupe type into a vehicle of the convertible type.
On connaît par le document FR-A-2 816 253 un toit escamotable dont l'élément arrière se loge dans le coffre arrière horizontalement par un mouvement d'oscillation et de coulissement, et au moins un élément avant coulisse le long de l'élément arrière, entraîné par un bras, pour se disposer au- dessous de ce dernier en position de rangement.Document FR-A-2 816 253 discloses a retractable roof, the rear element of which is housed in the rear boot horizontally by an oscillation and sliding movement, and at least one front element slides along the element. rear, driven by an arm, to be positioned below the latter in the storage position.
Dans cet agencement, il est nécessaire d'entraîner dans son mouvement l'élément de toit arrière pour faire basculer l'élément de toit avant.In this arrangement, it is necessary to drive in its movement the rear roof element to tilt the front roof element.
On connaît par ailleurs des dispositifs dans lesquels il est nécessaire de décaler vers le haut la partie avant de l'élément de toit arrière afin de faire coulisser en dessous de ce dernier l'élément de toit avant.Devices are also known in which it is necessary to shift the front part of the rear roof element upwards in order to slide the front roof element below the latter.
L'invention a pour but de palier ces inconvénients.The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention vise à fournir un toit escamotable dans un coffre arrière de faible volume A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un toit escamotable de véhicule, comprenant un élément de toit avant et un élément de toit arrière rigides déplaçables entre une position dans laquelle ils recouvrent l'habitacle du véhicule et une position dans laquelle ils sont rangés dans le coffre arrière du véhicule, caractérisé en ce que : l'élément de toit arrière a sa partie arrière guidée par une premjère glissière solidaire de la structure du véhicule et sa partie avant articulée sur un bras monté pivotant sur le châssis du véhicule autour d'un axe transversal à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule ; l'élément de toit avant porte une seconde glissière et est monté coulissant sur une troisième glissière solidaire de l'élément arrière.More particularly, the invention aims to provide a retractable roof in a rear boot of small volume To this end, the subject of the invention is a retractable vehicle roof, comprising a rigid front roof element and a rear roof element which can be moved between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a position in which they are stored. in the rear boot of the vehicle, characterized in that: the rear roof element has its rear part guided by a first slide secured to the structure of the vehicle and its front part articulated on an arm pivotally mounted on the chassis of the vehicle around 'an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle; the front roof element carries a second slide and is slidably mounted on a third slide secured to the rear element.
Ainsi, l'élément de toit avant vient se superposer au-dessus de l'élément arrière. L'élément de toit avant est indépendant dans son coulissement de l'élément de toit arrière et est solidaire de ce dernier pour son rangement dans le coffre.Thus, the front roof element is superimposed above the rear element. The front roof element is independent in its sliding from the rear roof element and is integral with the latter for its storage in the boot.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément de toit arrière comporte une vitre montée pivotante à sa partie supérieure autour d'un axe transversal à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule et portant à sa partie inférieure un organe engagé dans une glissière solidaire du châssis du véhicule.In a particular embodiment, the rear roof element comprises a window pivotally mounted at its upper part around an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and carrying at its lower part a member engaged in a slide secured to the chassis of the vehicle.
On décrira maintenant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels : la figu re 1 est une vue de côté d'un toit selon l'invention en positions de recouvrement en traits pleins, et de semi- recouvrement en traits interrompus ;et la figure 2 est une vue de côté de ce toit en position de rangement dans le coffre arrière du véhicule.A particular embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which: Figure 1 is a side view of a roof according to the invention in overlapping positions in solid lines, and semi-overlapping in broken lines; and Figure 2 is a side view of this roof in storage position in the rear trunk of the vehicle.
Comme montré aux figures, le véhicule 1 comprend un élément de toit avant rigide 2, un élément de toit arrière rigide 3 et un couvercle de coffre arrière 4.As shown in the figures, the vehicle 1 comprises a rigid front roof element 2, a rigid rear roof element 3 and a rear trunk lid 4.
L'élément de toit avant 2 porte une glissière 5 et est monté coulissant sur l'élément arrière 3 qui porte une glissière 6. Cet élément arrière 3 supporte un doigt ou galet 7 qui est engagé dans une glissière 8 solidaire du châssis du véhicule.The front roof element 2 carries a slide 5 and is slidably mounted on the rear element 3 which carries a slide 6. This rear element 3 supports a finger or roller 7 which is engaged in a slide 8 secured to the chassis of the vehicle.
Le bord avant de l'élément de toit arrière 3 est articulé autou r d'un axe 9 transversal à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule à une extrémité d'un bras 10. L'autre extrémité du bras 10 est articulée au châssis du véhicule autour d'un axe 1 1 également transversal à l'axe longitud inal du véhicule.The front edge of the rear roof element 3 is articulated around an axis 9 transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle at one end of an arm 10. The other end of the arm 10 is articulated to the chassis of the vehicle about an axis 1 1 also transverse to the longitudinal inal axis of the vehicle.
L'élément de toit arrière 3 comprend une vitre 12 montée pivotante à sa partie supérieure autour d'un axe 13 transversal à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. La partie inférieure de la vitre 12 comporte un doigt ou un galet 14 engagé dans une glissière 15 solidaire du châssis du véhicule.The rear roof element 3 comprises a window 12 pivotally mounted at its upper part around an axis 13 transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The lower part of the window 12 has a finger or a roller 14 engaged in a slide 15 secured to the chassis of the vehicle.
La zone de rangement 16 du toit escamotable est délimitée par le couvercle 4 de coffre arrière, le passage de roue arrière 17, et le couvercle de moteur 18. Pour permettre le rangement du toit dans la zone 16, le couvercle de coffre 4 bascule de l'avant vers l'arrière, tandis que l'élément de toit avant 2 coulisse le long de la glissière 6 solidaire de l'élément arrière 3 et se superpose ainsi à ce dernier.The storage area 16 of the retractable roof is delimited by the rear trunk lid 4, the rear wheel arch 17, and the engine cover 18. To allow the roof to be stored in zone 16, the trunk lid 4 swings from front to rear, while the front roof element 2 slides along the slide 6 secured to the rear element 3 and is thus superimposed on the latter.
Un doigt 19 solidaire de l'élément de toit avant 2 pénètre dans un orifice de centrage 20 situé sur l'extrémité arrière 21 de l'élément de toit arrière 3.A finger 19 secured to the front roof element 2 enters a centering orifice 20 situated on the rear end 21 of the rear roof element 3.
L'ensemble constitué par les éléments de toit avant 2 et arrière 3 est ensuite entraîné par le bras 10. Le galet 7 solidaire de l'élément de toit arrière 3 se déplace alors le long de la glissière 8 de sorte que l'ensemble se range dans la zone de rangement 16.The assembly constituted by the front 2 and rear 3 roof elements is then driven by the arm 10. The roller 7 secured to the rear roof element 3 then moves along the slide 8 so that the assembly store in storage area 16.
Lorsque l'ensemble des deux éléments de toit 2 et 3 bascule, la vitre arrière 12 pivote autou r de l'axe 13 tandis que le doigt 14 est guidé par la glissière 1 5 de sorte que la vitre 12 s'escamote par rapport au couvercle de moteur 18.When all of the two roof elements 2 and 3 tilt, the rear window 12 pivots autou r of the axis 13 while the finger 14 is guided by the slide 1 5 so that the window 12 retracts relative to the engine cover 18.
Enfin, une tablette 22 articulée su r le châssis du véhicule autour d'un axe de rotation 23 passe d'une position sensiblement verticale pour permettre le passage des éléments de toit, à une position sensiblement horizontale comme montré à la figure 2.Finally, a shelf 22 articulated on the chassis of the vehicle about an axis of rotation 23 passes from a substantially vertical position to allow the passage of the roof elements, to a substantially horizontal position as shown in FIG. 2.
Ces mouvements peuvent être réalisés automatiquement à l'aide d'actionneurs convenables, ou manuellement. These movements can be carried out automatically using suitable actuators, or manually.
