Description

POTENCE REGLABLE DE SOLIDARISATION A UN SOUS-BASSEMENT DE CAISSE D'UN ELEMENT DE LIGNE D'ECHAPPEMENT DE MOTEUR A COMBUSTION INTERNE.ADJUSTABLE POSITION OF SOLIDARIZATION TO A BODY SUBASSEMBLY OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE EXHAUST LINE ELEMENT.
L'invention a trait à une potence pour la solidarisation, à un sous-bassèment de caisse de véhicule automobile, d'un élément de ligne d'échappement de moteur à combustion interne.The invention relates to a bracket for securing, to a sub-bass body of a motor vehicle, an exhaust line element of an internal combustion engine.
Cette invention concerne le domaine de l'industrie automobile et, plus particulièrement, celui de la fabrication d'équipements venant compléter une ligne d'échappement et destinés à assurer la fixation de cette dernière sous un véhicule automobile.This invention relates to the field of the automotive industry and, more particularly, that of the manufacture of equipment to complete an exhaust line and intended to ensure the attachment of the latter under a motor vehicle.
L'on connaît, d'ores et déjà, des dispositifs pour la fixation d'une ligne d'échappement ou d'au moins un élément d'une telle ligne d'échappement sous un véhicule automobile. Ces dispositifs sont conçus pour assurer une fixation réversible de manière à autoriser un remplacement de la ligne d'échappement ou d'un ou plusieurs éléments de cette ligne.Already known, devices for fixing an exhaust line or at least one element of such an exhaust line under a motor vehicle. These devices are designed to provide a reversible attachment so as to allow replacement of the exhaust line or one or more elements of this line.
Pour ce faire, un tel dispositif de fixation est, usuellement, constitué, d'une part, par un crochet fixé, notamment par soudure, sur le sous-bassèment de caisse d'un véhicule, d'autre part, par une potence fixée, notamment par soudure, sur la ligne d'échappement ou sur l'élément de cette ligne d'échappement et, d'autre part encore, par des moyens de solidarisation de la potence au crochet, constitués par une pièce en élastomère, notamment de forme annulaire, engagée par-dessus le crochet et dans laquelle est engagée, de manière réversible, la potence de manière à assurer la suspension de cette potence sous le sous- bassèment de caisse.To do this, such a fixing device is usually constituted, on the one hand, by a hook fixed, in particular by welding, on the underbody of a vehicle body, on the other hand, by a fixed bracket , in particular by welding, on the exhaust line or on the element of this exhaust line and, on the other hand, by means of securing the bracket to the hook, constituted by a piece of elastomer, in particular of annular shape, engaged over the hook and in which is reversibly engaged, the bracket so as to ensure the suspension of the bracket under the underbody bass.
A ce propos, on observera que cette pièce en élastomère est conçue de manière à assurer une fixation rigide, sous le sous- bassement de caisse, de la ligne d'échappement ou de l'élément d'échappement de manière à éviter tout détachement involontaire de ce dernier, notamment sous l'effet d'une vibration, d'un choc, d'un accrochage ou autre.In this connection, it will be observed that this elastomer part is designed to ensure a rigid attachment, under the underbody, of the exhaust line or the exhaust element so as to avoid any involuntary detachment. of the latter, especially under the effect of vibration, shock, snagging or other.
Or, le procédé de fabrication d'un sous-bassement de caisse d'un véhicule automobile et/ou d'un élément d'échappement (à fortiori de la ligne d'échappement) n'est pas parfaitement répétable de sorte que l'implantation du crochet et/ou de la potence n'est pas assurée strictement au même endroit. Il en résulte que, du fait de la fixation rigide, la position de la ligne d'échappement peut varier sensiblement par rapport à la position idéale de cette dernière vis-à-vis du sous-bassement de caisse et, par conséquent, vis-à-vis de la caisse elle-même ou vis-à- vis d'un élément de sécurité ou d'habillage du véhicule, plus particulièrement constitué par un pare-chocs, un déflecteur, une jupe ou autre. Or, un tel élément de sécurité ou d'habillage est, usuellement, réalisé en un matériau plastique particulièrement sensible à la chaleur, telle que celle dégagée par les gaz d'échappement circulant dans la ligne d'échappement, de sorte qu'une variation de la position de cette ligne d'échappement par rapport à un tel élément est susceptible de rapprocher, voire de mettre en contact, cette ligne d'échappement avec cet élément et d'occasionner des dégradations inadmissibles à ce dernier.However, the method of manufacturing a sub-bass body of a motor vehicle and / or an exhaust element (especially the exhaust line) is not perfectly repeatable so that the implantation hook and / or gallows is not strictly in the same place. As a result, because of the rigid attachment, the position of the exhaust line can vary substantially with respect to the ideal position of the latter vis-à-vis the underbody basement and, therefore, screw- with respect to the body itself or vis-à-vis a security element or dressing of the vehicle, more particularly constituted by a bumper, a deflector, a skirt or other. However, such a security element or dressing is usually made of a plastic material particularly sensitive to heat, such as that released by the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust line, so that a variation the position of this exhaust line with respect to such an element is likely to bring or even bring into contact this exhaust line with this element and to cause inadmissible damage to the latter.
La présente invention se veut à même de remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs de l'état de la technique.The present invention is intended to overcome the disadvantages of devices of the state of the art.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne une potence pour la solidarisation, à un sous-bassement de caisse de véhicule automobile, d'un élément de ligne d'échappement de moteur à combustion interne. Cette potence est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comporte, d'une part, un support destiné à être rendu solidaire dudit élément de la ligne d'échappement, d'autre part, un embout destiné à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation au sous-bassement de caisse du véhicule et, d'autre part encore, des moyens de réglage de la position de cet embout par rapport au support.For this purpose, the invention relates to a bracket for fastening, to a sub-basement of the body of a motor vehicle, an exhaust line element of an internal combustion engine. This bracket is characterized in that it comprises, on the one hand, a support intended to be secured to said element of the exhaust line, on the other hand, a nozzle intended to cooperate with securing means to the sub -bassement of the vehicle and, on the other hand, means for adjusting the position of this endpiece relative to the support.
Selon une autre caractéristique, les moyens de réglage de la position de l'embout sont, au moins en partie, constitués par des moyens, d'une part, que comporte ledit support et/ou qui viennent compléter ce dernier et, d'autre part, qui assurent un montage en coulissement de l'embout par rapport audit support.According to another characteristic, the means for adjusting the position of the endpiece are at least partly constituted by means, on the one hand, that comprises said support and / or which complete the latter and, on the other hand, on the other hand, which ensure sliding mounting of the endpiece relative to said support.
En fait, les moyens de montage en coulissement se présentent sous la forme d'un collier, au moins en partie défini au niveau du support, et à l'intérieur duquel est engagé en coulissement ledit embout.In fact, the sliding mounting means are in the form of a collar, at least partly defined at the support, and within which is engaged in sliding said tip.
De tels moyens de montage en coulissement peuvent, encore, être constitués, d'une part, par une console sur laquelle est fixée l'embout et, d'autre part, par au moins un trou oblong ménagé au niveau du support et traversé par des moyens de fixation de la console sur ce support, à mêmes de coulisser dans un tel trou oblong.Such sliding mounting means may, again, be constituted, on the one hand, by a bracket on which is fixed the endpiece and, on the other hand, by at least one oblong hole formed at the level of the support and traversed by means for fixing the bracket on this support, able to slide in such an oblong hole.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de réglage de la position comportent, encore, des moyens d'immobilisation de l'embout par rapport au support.According to another characteristic of the invention, the position adjustment means further comprise means for immobilizing the endpiece relative to the support.
En fait, de tels moyens d'immobilisation sont associés aux moyens de montage en coulissement et sont constitués par des moyens de serrage de ces moyens de montage en coulissement sur l'embout ou sur le support.In fact, such immobilizing means are associated with the sliding mounting means and are constituted by means for clamping these sliding mounting means on the end piece or on the support.
Les avantages de la présente invention consistent en ce que, lorsque l'on assure le montage d'une ligne d'échappement sous la caisse d'un véhicule, l'on procède au régalage de la position de la ligne d'échappement par rapport au sous-bassèment de cette caisse en intervenant sur les moyens de réglage que comporte la potence des moyens de fixation de cette ligne d'échappement sous la caisse.The advantages of the present invention are that, when the assembly of an exhaust line under the body of a vehicle is carried out, the position of the exhaust line is adjusted with respect to to the sub-bass of this box by intervening on the means of regulation which the gallows means fastening this exhaust line under the body.
D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre se rapportant à des modes de réalisation qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description relating to embodiments which are given by way of indicative and non-limiting examples.

L'invention concerne le domaine de l'industrie automobile et, plus particulièrement, celui de la fabrication d'équipements venant compléter une ligne d'échappement des gaz issus de la combustion d'un mélange carburé au sein d'un moteur thermique à combustion interne.The invention relates to the field of the automotive industry and, more particularly, that of the manufacture of equipment to complete an exhaust line of gases from the combustion of a fuel mixture within a combustion engine. internal.
En fait, cette invention trouvera une application lorsqu'il s'agit d'assurer la fixation (plus particulièrement de manière réversible) d'une telle ligne d'échappement ou d'un élément que comporte une telle ligne d'échappement sous un véhicule automobile, plus particulièrement au sous-bassèment de caisse d'un tel véhicule, notamment en plusieurs endroits de ce sous- bassèment de caisse.In fact, this invention will find an application when it comes to ensuring the attachment (particularly reversibly) of such an exhaust line or an element that includes such an exhaust line under a motor vehicle, more particularly to the underbody of the body of such a vehicle, including several locations of this sub-bed body.
Pour assurer une telle fixation, il est connu de faire appel à des moyens de fixation constitués, d'une part, par un crochet (non représenté) fixé, notamment par soudure, sur le sous- bassèment de caisse du véhicule, d'autre part, par une potence fixée sur la ligne d'échappement et, d'autre part encore, par des moyens de solidarisation de la potence au crochet.To ensure such a fixing, it is known to use fastening means constituted, on the one hand, by a hook (not shown) fixed, in particular by welding, on the underbody of the vehicle body, other part, by a bracket fixed on the exhaust line and, secondly, by means of securing the bracket to the hook.
Selon l'invention, cette potence 1 comporte, d'une part, un support 2 destiné à être rendu solidaire de la ligne d'échappement ou d'un élément que comporte une telle ligne d'échappement. Un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention consiste à rendre ce support 2 solidaire d'un élément d'une ligne d'échappement constitué par un silencieux. Une telle solidarisation est, alors, assurée par soudure de ce support 2 par exemple sur une coupelle 3 que comporte un tel silencieux (figure 5) .According to the invention, this bracket 1 comprises, on the one hand, a support 2 intended to be secured to the exhaust line or an element that includes such an exhaust line. A particular embodiment of the invention consists in making this support 2 integral with an element of an exhaust line constituted by a silencer. Such fastening is then ensured by welding of the support 2 for example on a cup 3 that includes such a silencer (Figure 5).
D'autre part, cette potence 1 comporte un embout 4 rendu solidaire dudit support 2 et destiné à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation de cet embout 4 (et par conséquent de la potence 1) au sous-bassèment de caisse du véhicule. A ce propos, on observera que de tels moyens de solidarisation (non représentés) sont, de préférence, constitués par une pièce en élastomère, notamment de forme annulaire, engagée par-dessus le crochet des moyens de fixation et dans laquelle est engagé, de manière réversible, l'embout 4 de manière à assurer une fixation (notamment par suspension et de manière rigide) de la potence 1 sous la caisse.On the other hand, this bracket 1 comprises a tip 4 secured to said support 2 and intended to cooperate with means for securing this tip 4 (and therefore the bracket 1) to the sub-bass body of the vehicle. In this regard, it will be observed that such securing means (not shown) are preferably constituted by a piece of elastomer, in particular of annular shape, engaged over the hook of the fixing means and in which is engaged, of reversibly, the tip 4 so as to ensure a fixation (including suspension and rigid manner) of the bracket 1 under the body.
D'autre part encore, ladite potence 1 comporte des moyens 5 de réglage de la position de l'embout 4 par rapport au support 2. De tels moyens de réglage 5 permettent de positionner l'embout 4 par rapport à ce support 2 de telle sorte que la ligne d'échappement vienne se positionner de manière appropriée par rapport au sous-bassèment de caisse et, par conséquent, par rapport aux éléments de sécurité ou d'habillage du véhicule, ceci malgré une éventuelle dispersion du sous-bassèment de caisse et/ou de la ligne d'échappement due à un défaut de répétabilité dans le processus de fabrication de ces derniers.On the other hand, said stem 1 comprises means 5 for adjusting the position of the tip 4 relative to the support 2. Such adjustment means 5 make it possible to position the end piece 4 with respect to this support 2 so that the exhaust line comes to be positioned appropriately with respect to the underbody and, consequently, with respect to elements of security or dressing of the vehicle, this despite a possible dispersion of the sub-bass body and / or the exhaust line due to a lack of repeatability in the manufacturing process of the latter.
Tel que visible sur les figures en annexe, les moyens 5 de réglage de la position de l'embout 4 sont, au moins en partie, constitués par des moyens 6, d'une part, que comporte ledit support 2 et/ou qui viennent compléter ce dernier 2 et, d'autre part, qui assurent un montage en coulissement de l'embout 4 par rapport à ce support 2.As can be seen in the appended figures, the means 5 for adjusting the position of the endpiece 4 are, at least in part, constituted by means 6, on the one hand, that comprises said support 2 and / or which come complete the latter 2 and, on the other hand, which provide a sliding assembly of the end piece 4 relative to the support 2.
De tels moyens 6 de montage en coulissement sont, notamment conçus de manière à assurer un guidage approprié de l'embout 4 par rapport au support 2, ceci lors du déplacement de cet embout 4 par rapport à ce support 2 en vue d'être amené dans sa position de service.Such sliding mounting means 6 are, in particular, designed so as to ensure appropriate guidance of the endpiece 4 relative to the support 2, this during the displacement of this endpiece 4 relative to the support 2 in order to be brought in his service position.
Un premier mode de réalisation illustré figures 1 à 4 concerne des moyens 6 de montage en coulissement qui se présentent sous la forme d'un collier 7, au moins en partie défini au niveau du support 2, et à l'intérieur duquel est engagé en coulissement 1'embout 4.A first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 relates to sliding mounting means 6 which are in the form of a collar 7, at least partly defined at the support 2, and inside which is engaged in sliding 1'embout 4.
A ce propos, on observera que les figures 1 et 2 ont trait à un support 2 comportant des moyens 6 de montage en coulissement qui adoptent la forme d'un collier 7 constitué par un fourreau tubulaire 8 défini au niveau de ce support 2. Un tel fourreau tubulaire 8 peut être réalisé par déformation de ce support 2, par exemple par emboutissage de ce dernier 2. Un autre mode de réalisation a été représenté figures 3 et 4 et concerne des moyens 6 de montage en coulissement définis par un collier 7 en deux parties.In this regard, it will be observed that FIGS. 1 and 2 relate to a support 2 comprising sliding mounting means 6 which adopt the shape of a collar 7 constituted by a tubular sheath 8 defined at the level of this support 2. such tubular sleeve 8 can be made by deformation of this support 2, for example by stamping the latter 2. Another embodiment has been represented in FIGS. 3 and 4 and relates to sliding mounting means 6 defined by a collar 7 in two parts.
En fait, un tel collier 7 comporte, d'une part, une première partie définie au niveau du support 2 (et que comporte, par conséquent, ce support 2) et qui constitue un berceau 9 pour la réception de l'embout 4. Là encore, un tel berceau 9 peut être réalisé par déformation du support 2, par exemple par emboutissage de ce dernier 2.In fact, such a collar 7 comprises, on the one hand, a first part defined at the level of the support 2 (and which comprises, consequently, this support 2) and which constitutes a cradle 9 for receiving the endpiece 4. Again, such a cradle 9 can be made by deformation of the support 2, for example by stamping the latter 2.
Ce collier 7 comporte, d'autre part, une seconde partie qui est définie par une pièce additionnelle 10 destinée à coopérer avec le support 2 pour refermer le collier 7 autour de l'embout 4, ceci en vue d'assurer le montage en coulissement de cet embout 4.This collar 7 comprises, on the other hand, a second part which is defined by an additional piece 10 intended to cooperate with the support 2 to close the collar 7 around the endpiece 4, this to ensure the sliding assembly of this mouthpiece 4.
A ce propos, il convient d'observer que cette pièce additionnelle 10 et/ou le support 2 comportent des moyens aptes à rendre cette pièce 10 solidaire de ce support 2.In this regard, it should be noted that this additional piece 10 and / or the support 2 comprise means capable of making this piece 10 integral with this support 2.
Aussi et selon un mode de réalisation préféré visible figures 3 et 4, cette pièce additionnelle 10 comporte, d'une part, une première patte 11 destinée à être engagée dans une ouverture 12 définie au niveau dudit support 2 et, d'autre part, une seconde patte 13 destinée à être rendue solidaire de ce support 2, notamment par vissage, rivetage ou autre.Also and according to a preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this additional piece 10 comprises, on the one hand, a first tab 11 intended to be engaged in an opening 12 defined at the level of said support 2 and, on the other hand, a second leg 13 intended to be secured to the support 2, in particular by screwing, riveting or other.
Tel que visible sur ces mêmes figures, cette pièce additionnelle 10 peut, elle aussi, comporter un berceau 9' pour la réception de l'embout 4, un tel berceau 9' pouvant être bordé, d'une part, par ladite première patte 11 et, d'autre part, par ladite seconde patte 13. II a été illustré figure 5 un autre mode de réalisation des moyens 6 de montage en coulissement d'un embout 4 par rapport au support 2.As can be seen in these same figures, this additional piece 10 may also include a cradle 9 'for receiving the end piece 4, such a cradle 9' being edged, on the one hand, by said first leg 11 and, secondly, by said second leg 13. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the means 6 for slidingly mounting an endpiece 4 with respect to the support 2.
De tels moyens 6 de montage en coulissement se présentent, d'une part, sous la forme d'une console 14 sur laquelle est fixée l'embout 4 et, d'autre part, par au moins un trou oblong 15, 15' ménagé au niveau dudit support 2 et traversé par des moyens de fixation (non représentés) de la console 14 sur ce support 2, notamment constitués par des vis, des rivets ou autre. De tels moyens de fixation sont conçus à mêmes de coulisser dans un tel trou oblong 15, 15' en vue d'un montage coulissant de la console 14 (par conséquent de l'embout 4) par rapport à un tel trou 15, 15' (et, par conséquent, par rapport au support 2) .Such sliding mounting means 6 are, on the one hand, in the form of a bracket 14 on which is fixed the nozzle 4 and, on the other hand, by at least one oblong hole 15, 15 'provided at said support 2 and traversed by fastening means (not shown) of the bracket 14 on the support 2, in particular constituted by screws, rivets or other. Such fastening means are designed to slide in such an oblong hole 15, 15 'for a sliding mounting of the bracket 14 (therefore of the nozzle 4) with respect to such a hole 15, 15' (and, therefore, with respect to the support 2).
A ce propos, on observera que le support 2 peut, encore, comporter des moyens de réception d'une telle console 14 et autorisant un coulissement de cette dernière 14 par rapport audit support 2. De tels moyens de réception peuvent être définis par une conformation particulière (notamment en « U ») de ce support 2 réalisée, notamment par déformation de ce dernier 2, par exemple par emboutissage.In this regard, it will be observed that the support 2 may, again, include means for receiving such a console 14 and allowing the latter 14 to slide relative to said support 2. Such reception means may be defined by a conformation particular (in particular "U") of this support 2 made, in particular by deformation of the latter 2, for example by stamping.
Un premier mode de réalisation (non représenté) consiste en un support 2 au niveau duquel est défini un unique trou oblong 15. Au niveau de ce support 2 sont, également, ménagés des moyens de réception de la console 14 de type susmentionné qui constituent, en fait, des moyens de guidage en coulissement de cette console 14 par rapport à ce support 2.A first embodiment (not shown) consists of a support 2 at which is defined a single oblong hole 15. At this support 2 are also provided means for receiving the console 14 of the aforementioned type which constitute, in fact, sliding guide means of this console 14 with respect to this support 2.
Un mode préféré de réalisation visible figure 5 concerne un support 2 au niveau duquel sont définis au moins deux trous oblongs 15, 15' qui, par le biais de leur coopération avec les moyens de fixation de la console 14, constituent lesdits moyens de montage en coulissement 6 de cette console 14, donc de 1'embout 4, par rapport au support 2. Ce dernier 2 peut, alors, comporter des moyens de réception de ladite console 14 du type susmentionné.A preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 5 relates to a support 2 at which at least two oblong holes 15, 15 'are defined, which, by virtue of their cooperation with the fastening means of the bracket 14, constitute said mounting means. sliding 6 of this console 14, so the 1'embout 4, relative to the support 2. The latter 2 can, then, have means for receiving said console 14 of the aforementioned type.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens 5 de régalâge de la position de l'embout 4 par rapport au support 2 comportent, encore, des moyens 16 d'immobilisation de cet embout 4 par rapport au support 2.According to another characteristic of the invention, the means 5 for equalizing the position of the endpiece 4 relative to the support 2 comprise, again, means 16 for immobilizing this endpiece 4 with respect to the support 2.
En fait, de tels moyens 16 sont conçus aptes à assurer une immobilisation de cet embout 4 après que cet embout 4 ait été amené (plus particulièrement par coulissement par rapport au support 2, ceci par le biais des moyens 6 de montage en coulissement) dans une position déterminée par rapport au support 2 et permettant de positionner la ligne d'échappement de manière appropriée par rapport au sous-bassement de caisse et, par conséquent, par rapport aux éléments de sécurité ou d'habillage du véhicule.In fact, such means 16 are designed to ensure immobilization of this tip 4 after this tip 4 has been brought (more particularly by sliding relative to the support 2, this through the means 6 of sliding installation) in a position determined relative to the support 2 and to position the exhaust line appropriately relative to the underbody and, therefore, compared to the security elements or dressing of the vehicle.
En fait, de tels moyens d'immobilisation 16 sont associés aux moyens 6 de montage en coulissement de l'embout 4 par rapport au support 2.In fact, such immobilizing means 16 are associated with the means 6 for slidingly mounting the end piece 4 with respect to the support 2.
Plus particulièrement, ces moyens d'immobilisation 16 peuvent être constitués par des moyens 17 de serrage de ces moyens 6 de montage en coulissement, selon le cas, sur l'embout 4 ou sur le support 2.More particularly, these immobilizing means 16 may be constituted by means 17 for clamping these sliding mounting means 6, as the case may be, on the endpiece 4 or on the support 2.
Il a été représenté figures 1 à 4 des moyens 16 d'immobilisation constitués par des moyens de serrage 17 de ces moyens 6 de montage en coulissement sur l'embout 4.FIGS. 1 to 4 show immobilization means 16 constituted by clamping means 17 of these sliding mounting means 6 on the end piece 4.
Ainsi, figures 1 et 2, les moyens d'immobilisation 16 sont constitués par au moins un organe de serrage 18 (vis, rivet système vis-écrou ou analogue) traversant, chacun, un orifice 19 ménagé dans des pattes 20 définies au niveau du fourreau tubulaire 8, de part et d'autre d'une fente longitudinale 21 que comporte ce fourreau 8.Thus, Figures 1 and 2, the immobilizing means 16 are constituted by at least one clamping member 18 (screw, rivet system screw-nut or the like) passing through, each, an orifice 19 formed in legs 20 defined at the level of scabbard tubular 8, on either side of a longitudinal slot 21 that includes this sleeve 8.
Le mode de réalisation illustré figures 3 et 4 concerne des moyens d'immobilisation 16 constitués, là encore, par au moins un organe de serrage 18 (vis, rivet, système vis-écrou ou analogue) traversant, chacun, un premier orifice 19 ménagé au niveau du support 2 ainsi qu'un second orifice 19' ménagé au niveau de la pièce additionnelle 10.The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 relates to immobilization means 16 constituted, again, by at least one clamping member 18 (screw, rivet, screw-nut system or the like) passing through, each, a first orifice 19 arranged at the support 2 and a second orifice 19 'provided at the additional piece 10.
II a été représenté figure 5 un mode de réalisation pour lequel les moyens d'immobilisation 16 sont constitués par des moyens 17 de serrage de ces moyens 6 de montage en coulissement sur le support 2.FIG. 5 shows an embodiment for which the immobilization means 16 consist of means 17 for clamping these sliding means 6 on the support 2.
De tels moyens de serrage 17 peuvent, alors, être définis par au moins un organe de serrage (non représenté) , plus particulièrement constitués par les moyens de fixation de la console 14 sur le support 2, et traversant le ou les trous oblongs 15 ménagés au niveau du support 2 pour coopérer avec la console 14.Such clamping means 17 can then be defined by at least one clamping member (not shown), more particularly constituted by the fastening means of the bracket 14 on the support 2, and passing through the or oblong holes 15 formed at the support 2 to cooperate with the console 14.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le support 2 de la potence 1 est réalisé en un matériau autorisant une déformation (notamment par emboutissage) de manière à pouvoir y définir au moins une partie des moyens de réglage 5 (fourreau tubulaire 8 et/ou un berceau 9) , voire des moyens de réception d'une console 14. En fait, un tel support 2 est réalisé en aluminium ou, et de préférence, en tôle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the support 2 of the bracket 1 is made of a material allowing deformation (in particular by stamping) so as to be able to define at least a portion of the adjustment means 5 (tubular sheath 8 and / or or a cradle 9), or means for receiving a console 14. In fact, such a support 2 is made of aluminum or, preferably, sheet.
Une autre caractéristique consiste en ce que le matériau dans lequel est réalisé ce support 2 doit permettre la fixation de ce support 2 sur la ligne d'échappement, plus particulièrement par soudure. Là encore et selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, ce support 2 est réalisé en tôle ou analogue. A ce propos, on observera que ce support 2 peut, également, être réalisé en aluminium et que, dans ce cas, ce support 2 est complété par une pièce, rapportée sur ce support 2, et réalisée en un matériau autorisant sa soudure sur la ligne d'échappement.Another feature is that the material in which the support 2 is made must allow the attachment of the support 2 on the exhaust line, more particularly by welding. Again and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this support 2 is made of sheet metal or the like. In this respect, it will be observed that this support 2 can also be made of aluminum and that, in this case, the support 2 is completed by a part, attached to the support 2, and made of a material allowing its welding on the exhaust line.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, l'embout 4 présente une gorge 22 destinée à recevoir les moyens de solidarisation susmentionnés. A ce propos, on observera que les dimensions de cette gorge 22 (plus particulièrement sa largeur) sont, de préférence, ajustées à celles des moyens de solidarisation en vue de permettre un montage rigide de l'embout 4 et, par conséquent, de la potence 1 et de la ligne d'échappement sous le bas de caisse du véhicule.According to an additional feature, the tip 4 has a groove 22 for receiving the aforementioned fastening means. In this regard, it will be observed that the dimensions of this groove 22 (more particularly its width) are preferably adjusted to those of the securing means to allow a rigid mounting of the tip 4 and, therefore, the stem 1 and the exhaust line under the underside of the vehicle.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite à propos d'une forme de réalisation particulière, il est bien entendu qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'on peut y apporter diverses modifications de formes, de matériaux et de combinaisons de ces divers éléments sans pour cela s'éloigner du cadre et de l'esprit de l'invention. Although the invention has been described with respect to a particular embodiment, it is understood that it is in no way limited and that various modifications of shapes, materials and combinations thereof can be made. various elements without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
