Description

PERFECTIONNEMENT POUR PLANCHE DE BORD D'UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE IMPROVEMENT FOR DASHBOARD OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
La présente invention est relative à un perfectionnement apporté à une planche de bord pour véhicule automobile, en vue notamment de faciliter le rangement, le retrait et la remise en place dans un emplacement dédié à cet effet, d'une carte de crédit ou analogue, dont l'utilisation est fréquente lors de l'usage d'un tel véhicule.The present invention relates to an improvement made to a dashboard for a motor vehicle, in particular to facilitate storage, removal and re-placement in a dedicated location for this purpose, a credit card or the like, whose use is frequent when using such a vehicle.
On sait en effet que le conducteur d'un véhicule a besoin de plus en plus habituellement d'utiliser des moyens divers et en particulier des cartes de paiement ou d'accréditation pour accomplir des tâches fort nombreuses, notamment et à titre d'exemples, pour acquitter un péage autoroutier, payer une durée de stationnement dans un parking, régler une facture d'achat de carburant ou autre.It is known that the driver of a vehicle needs more and more usually to use various means and in particular payment cards or accreditation to perform many tasks, including and as examples, to pay a motorway toll, pay a parking period in a car park, pay a fuel bill or other.
De telles cartes, qui peuvent servir pour des paiements divers, mais qui quelquefois sont différentes d'un usage à l'autre, se présentent de façon très usuelle pour ne pas dire unique, sous la forme d'un rectangle de matière plastique, comportant une piste magnétique d'identification et le cas échéant, une puce électronique de contrôle de la régularité de son utilisation.Such cards, which may be used for various payments, but which are sometimes different from one use to another, are presented in a very usual way, not to say unique, in the form of a rectangle of plastic material, comprising a magnetic identification strip and, if necessary, an electronic chip controlling the regularity of its use.
Ces cartes, qui présentent un très faible encombrement, sont généralement rangées en des endroits plus ou moins différents selon le cas, soit dans le portefeuille du conducteur, soit dans la boite à gants de son véhicule, ou encore dans une fente de rangement prévu derrière le volet du pare- soleil, ou même dans d'autres endroits plus inhabituels, que le conducteur a parfois du mal à se remémorer sur le champ lorsqu'il a besoin d'utiliser une quelconque parmi ces cartes .These cards, which have a very small footprint, are generally stored in more or less different locations as appropriate, either in the driver's wallet or in the glove box of his vehicle, or in a slot provided behind the sunshade shutter, or even in other more unusual places, the driver sometimes has trouble remembering when he needs to use any of these cards.
L'invention concerne un perfectionnement spécialement au rangement de ces cartes, qui soit facilement accessible et dans lequel elles peuvent être conservées de façon sûre, entre deux usages succèssifs . A cet effet, la planche de bord de véhicule automobile selon l'invention, comportant un tiroir coulissant dans un logement de réception prévu dans cette planche, ce tiroir, monté à proximité de la main du conducteur et/ou du passager, comprenant un compartiment interne agencé pour pouvoir s'escamoter à l'intérieur de la planche, l'ouverture du tiroir étant provoquée par l'usager, se caractérise en ce que ledit tiroir présente une faible épaisseur et est aménagé en vue de contenir au moins une carte plate, du type carte de crédit, le compartiment interne du tiroir coulissant comportant un fond plat sur lequel repose la carte, ce fond plat étant muni d'un trou de passage de faible diamètre pour l'extrémité du doigt de l'usager, pouvant ainsi soulever la carte pour faciliter sa préhension.The invention relates to an improvement especially to the storage of these cards, which is easily accessible and in which they can be safely stored between two successful uses. For this purpose, the dashboard of a motor vehicle according to the invention, comprising a sliding drawer in a receiving housing provided in this board, this drawer, mounted near the hand of the driver and / or passenger, comprising a compartment internal arranged to be retracted inside the board, the opening of the drawer being caused by the user, is characterized in that said drawer has a small thickness and is arranged to contain at least one flat card , of the credit card type, the internal compartment of the sliding drawer having a flat bottom on which the card rests, this flat bottom being provided with a small diameter through hole for the end of the finger of the user, thus being able to lift the card to make it easier to grip.
Selon une autre caractéristique, la carte repose sur le fond plat du compartiment interne du tiroir coulissant par l'intermédiaire d'une feuille. De préférence, la feuille est souple et est constituée en un matériau plastique ou textile, du genre feutrine ou similaire.According to another characteristic, the card rests on the flat bottom of the internal compartment of the sliding drawer via a sheet. Preferably, the sheet is flexible and is made of a plastic or textile material, of the felt kind or the like.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la feuille souple est collée selon un côté du compartiment du tiroir coulissant et est libre du côté opposé, afin de lui permettre d'être soulevée avec la carte sous l'effet de la poussée du doigt à travers le trou, prévu dans le fond de ce tiroir.According to an advantageous characteristic, the flexible sheet is glued on one side of the compartment of the sliding drawer and is free on the opposite side, to allow it to be raised with the card under the effect of the thrust of the finger through the hole, provided in the bottom of this drawer.
En variante, la feuille sur laquelle repose la carte est rigide, et est articulée selon un côté du compartiment interne du tiroir coulissant.In a variant, the sheet on which the card rests is rigid, and is articulated along one side of the internal compartment of the sliding drawer.
De préférence, la planche de bord comporte deux tiroirs coulissants, disposés à gauche et à droite de celle-ci pour être plus facilement utilisés respectivement par le conducteur ou le passage séparément. De préférence également, le compartiment interne du tiroir coulissant est de forme rectangulaire et présente des dimensions légèrement supérieures, en largeur, profondeur et épaisseur, à celles de la carte qu'il contient. Selon une autre caractéristique, le tiroir coulissant comporte un mécanisme de verrouillage du type << push-pull >>, pour permettre l'ouverture du compartiment interne consécutivement à une simple poussée exercée sur le tiroir. D'autres caractéristiques d'une planche de bord perfectionnée, établie conformément à l'invention, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :Preferably, the dashboard comprises two sliding drawers, arranged to the left and right of it to be more easily used respectively by the driver or the passage separately. Also preferably, the inner compartment of the sliding drawer is rectangular in shape and has dimensions slightly greater in width, depth and thickness, than those of the card it contains. According to another characteristic, the sliding drawer comprises a locking mechanism of the push-pull type, to allow the opening of the internal compartment consecutively to a simple thrust exerted on the drawer. Other features of an improved dashboard, established in accordance with the invention, will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of indication and not limitation, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- La Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une fraction d'une planche de bord pour véhicule automobile, comportant le perfectionnement selon 1' invention. - La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe du tiroir coulissant monté dans la planche de bord selon la Figure 1.- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fraction of a dashboard for a motor vehicle, comprising the improvement of the invention. - Figure 2 is a sectional view of the sliding drawer mounted in the dashboard according to Figure 1.
Sur la Figure 1, on a représenté une fraction d'une planche de bord 1 pour véhicule automobile, illustrée seulement au niveau de la partie de celle-ci qui comporte de façon usuelle une ouverture 2, munie de volets pivotants 3 et à travers laquelle Le système de climatisation du véhicule délivre dans l'habitacle de l'air chaud ou froid selon le cas, en fonction d'un réglage commandé par le conducteur pour obtenir une température choisie. Conformément à l'invention, la planche de bord 1 comporte un logement de réception 4 pour un tiroir coulissant 5 de faible épaisseur, agencé pour pouvoir s'escamoter dans la planche de bord lorsqu'il est repoussé dans ce logement et, au contraire, à pouvoir s'extraire en partie hors de ce dernier lorsqu'il doit être ouvert et accessible au conducteur.In Figure 1, there is shown a fraction of a dashboard 1 for a motor vehicle, shown only at the portion thereof which comprises a usual opening 2, provided with pivoting flaps 3 and through which The air conditioning system of the vehicle delivers in the passenger compartment hot or cold air as appropriate, according to a setting controlled by the driver to obtain a chosen temperature. According to the invention, the dashboard 1 comprises a receiving housing 4 for a sliding drawer 5 of small thickness, arranged to be retracted into the dashboard when pushed into the housing and, conversely, to be able to be partially extracted out of the latter when it must be open and accessible to the driver.
Avantageusement, le tiroir 5 comporte un mécanisme de verrouillage classique, monté à l'intérieur du logement 4, du type « push-pull », tel que, le tiroir étant fermé, une légère poussée sur celui-ci débloque ce mécanisme en permettant à un ressort (non représenté) de faire coulisser ce tiroir vers l'extérieur dans la position illustrée sur les figures, notamment jusqu'à ce qu'un redan 6, prévu dans la partie arrière 7 du tiroir 5, vienne s'appliquer contre une butée 8 ménagée dans le bord correspondant 9 de la planche de bord 1, en limitant ainsi son ouverture maximale. Au contraire, une poussée en sens inverse sur le tiroir 5 ramène celui-ci dans son logement 4 à l'encontre du ressort, jusqu'à ce que le mécanisme se verrouille à nouveau, le tiroir étant alors complètement disposé dans le logement 4. Le tiroir 5 comporte un compartiment interne 10, dont les dimensions en largeur, profondeur et épaisseur, sont choisies pour être légèrement supérieures à celles d'une carte de crédit 11 ou similaire, qui se présente usuellement sous la forme d'un rectangle en matière plastique, muni d'une bande magnétique d'identification et le cas échéant d'un composant électronique 12, plus généralement appelé puce, permettant de contrôler la régularité de l'utilisation de cette carte.Advantageously, the drawer 5 comprises a conventional locking mechanism, mounted inside the housing 4, of the "push-pull" type, such that, the drawer being closed, a slight thrust on it unlocks this mechanism by allowing a spring (not shown) to slide this drawer outwards in the position illustrated in the figures, in particular until a step 6, provided in the rear portion 7 of the drawer 5, comes to bear against a stop 8 formed in the corresponding edge 9 of the dashboard 1, thus limiting its maximum opening. On the contrary, a thrust in the opposite direction on the slide 5 brings it back into its housing 4 against the spring, until the mechanism locks again, the slide then being completely arranged in the housing 4. The drawer 5 has an internal compartment 10, whose dimensions in width, depth and thickness, are chosen to be slightly greater than those of a credit card 11 or the like, which is usually in the form of a rectangle of material plastic, with a magnetic identification strip and, where appropriate an electronic component 12, more generally called a chip, for controlling the regularity of the use of this card.
La carte 11 est ainsi mise en place à l'intérieur du compartiment 10 dans le tiroir 5 et repose contre le fond 13 de celui-ci, par l'intermédiaire d'une feuille 14 de préférence réalisée au moyen d'un matériau souple, du genre matière plastique ou textile, par exemple en feutrine ou matériau analogue, cette feuille étant collée selon un de ses côtés 15 contre le fond 13 et étant libre sur ses autres côtés et notamment sur son côté opposé.The card 11 is thus placed inside the compartment 10 in the drawer 5 and rests against the bottom 13 thereof, via a sheet 14 preferably made of a flexible material, of the plastic or textile material, for example in felt or the like material, this sheet being glued on one of its sides 15 against the bottom 13 and being free on its other sides and in particular on its opposite side.
Le fond 13 du compartiment 10 du tiroir 5 comporte enfin un trou de faible diamètre 16, destiné à permettre le passage à travers celui-ci de l'extrémité du doigt 17 de l'utilisateur, généralement le conducteur, lorsque le tiroir 5 est en position ouverte. De ce fait, la feuille souple 14 peut être aisément soulevée autour de son côté 15 fixé au fond 13 du compartiment 10, et avec elle la carte magnétique 11, que l'utilisateur peut alors aisément saisir avec son autre main pour l'usage envisagé de cette carte, notamment pour un paiement quelconque ou permettre la vérification d'une accréditation particulière .The bottom 13 of the compartment 10 of the drawer 5 finally has a small diameter hole 16, intended to allow passage therethrough of the end of the finger 17 of the user, generally the driver, when the drawer 5 is in position. open position. As a result, the flexible sheet 14 can easily be lifted around its side 15 fixed to the bottom 13 of the compartment 10, and with it the magnetic card 11, which the user can then easily grasp with his other hand for the intended use. this card, in particular for any payment or allow the verification of a particular accreditation.
Une fois l'usage de la carte magnétique achevé, celle-ci peut être aisément replacée dans le tiroir avant que celui-ci ne soit refermé selon le processus décrit précédemment.Once the use of the magnetic card completed, it can be easily returned to the drawer before it is closed according to the process described above.
On réalise ainsi une planche de bord perfectionnée, comportant un tiroir de rangement pour carte de crédit ou analogue, qui présente les avantages déjà exposés, notamment d'un accès facile et immédiat . Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit et représenté ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes . Notamment, on pourrait prévoir sans complication particulière d'associer au mécanisme de verrouillage du tiroir coulissant dans la planche de bord un dispositif de blocage automatique fonctionnant avec la clé de démarrage du véhicule, le tiroir n'étant débloqué que lorsque le conducteur a engagé cette clé dans l'emplacement approprié. Dans ces conditions en effet, lorsque le conducteur est absent de son véhicule, le tiroir reste verrouillé, de sorte que la carte qu'il contient ne peut être accessible à toute autre personne qui ne possède pas la clé de contact.This produces an improved dashboard, including a storage drawer for credit card or the like, which has the advantages already exposed, including easy access and immediate. Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described and shown; on the contrary, it embraces all variants. In particular, it could be provided without particular difficulty to associate the locking mechanism of the sliding drawer in the dashboard an automatic locking device operating with the ignition key of the vehicle, the drawer being unlocked only when the driver has engaged this key in the appropriate location. Under these conditions, when the driver is absent from his vehicle, the drawer remains locked, so that the card it contains can not be accessible to anyone else who does not have the ignition key.
Par ailleurs, si dans l'exemple décrit et représenté, la feuille 14 est souple et collée au fond du tiroir selon un côté de celui-ci, on peut également la réaliser en un matériau différent, notamment en plastique rigide, en la munissant en outre d'une articulation appropriée vis-à-vis du fond pour autoriser son soulèvement comme précédemment, ce qui peut présenter en plus l'avantage de moins risquer de perdre de petits objets laissés dans le tiroir et qui passeraient par le trou prévu dans le fond de celui-ci. Moreover, if in the example described and shown, the sheet 14 is flexible and glued to the bottom of the drawer on one side thereof, it can also be made of a different material, including rigid plastic, providing it in in addition to a suitable articulation to the bottom to allow its lifting as previously, which may have the added advantage of less risk of losing small objects left in the drawer and which would pass through the hole provided in the bottom of it.
