Description

DISPOSITIF PERMETTANT DB MAINTENIR EN ATTENTE D'UTILISATION UNE SANGLE D'UNE CEINTURE DE SECURITE D'UN SIEGE DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILEDEVICE FOR MAINTAINING A STRAP OF A SEAT BELT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de maintenir en attente d'utilisation une sangle d'une ceinture de sécurité d'un siège de véhicule automobile. Elle s'applique en particulier mais de manière non limitative à un véhicule du type à trois portes, cabriolet ou coupé.The present invention relates to a device for maintaining a belt of a seat belt of a motor vehicle while waiting for use. It applies in particular but without limitation to a vehicle of the type with three doors, convertible or coupe.
Comme cela est connu, une ceinture de sécurité, notamment de siège avant d'un, véhicule, comprend une sangle dont l'extrémité inférieure est reliée au pied milieu de la caisse du véhicule et l'extrémité opposée est reliée à un moyen enrouleur automatique fixé généralement en partie supérieure du pied du milieu de la caisse. Sur les véhicules du type coupé ou cabriolet, le pied milieu de la caisse est en retrait en arrière du dossier du siège avant afin de favoriser l'accès aux places arrière du véhicule une fois basculé le dossier du siège avant. Une telle architecture où la sangle de ceinture de sécurité est très éloignée de l'occupant du siège avant a pour inconvénient que la saisie de la sangle en attente d'utilisation est souvent très difficile pour la personne qui veut boucler la ceinture de sécurité à son siège et une telle manœuvre exige des contorsions gênantes, notamment de rotation du thorax, en particulier pour des personnes à mobilité réduite .As is known, a seat belt, in particular a front seat of a vehicle, comprises a strap whose lower end is connected to the central pillar of the vehicle body and the opposite end is connected to an automatic retractor. usually attached to the upper part of the foot of the middle of the body. On vehicles of the coupe or cabriolet type, the center foot of the body is set back behind the back of the front seat to facilitate access to the rear seats of the vehicle once tilted the back of the front seat. Such an architecture where the seat belt strap is far removed from the occupant of the front seat has the disadvantage that the seizure of the strap waiting for use is often very difficult for the person who wants to buckle the seat belt to his seat. seat and such a maneuver requires uncomfortable contortions, including thoracic rotation, especially for persons with reduced mobility.
Pour résoudre le problème ci-dessus, on a cherché à utiliser différents dispositifs de retenue de la sangle de ceinture de sécurité au siège du véhicule et comprenant une bande de tissu solidaire à l'une de ses extrémités du dossier du siège et amoviblement fixée à son extrémité au siège à l'aide par exemple d'un bouton pression pour maintenir la aangle entre la bande et le dossier, une bande pouvant être accrochée au tissu du dossier du siège par des moyens d'accrochage du genre velcro ou un guide de la sangle fixé au dossier. Ces dispositifs connus ne sont pas toujours efficaces, sont peu esthétiques et, dans la majorité des cas, ils sont développés spécifiquement pour la fonction de retenue de la sangle. En outre, ils demandent de la part de l'utilisateur une opération supplémentaire de dégagement ou de repositionnement de la ceinture de sécurité dans le dispositif de retenue lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'accéder aux places arrière du véhicule.To solve the above problem, attempts have been made to use different restraints the seat belt webbing at the seat of the vehicle and comprising a strip of integral fabric at one end of the seat back and removably attached at its end to the seat with the help of for example a snap to maintain the band between the band and the backrest, a band that can be hooked to the fabric of the seat back by hooking means of the kind Velcro or guide of the strap attached to the backrest. These known devices are not always effective, are unsightly and, in most cases, they are developed specifically for the restraining function of the strap. In addition, they require the user to an additional operation of release or repositioning of the seat belt in the restraint when it is necessary to access the rear seats of the vehicle.
La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients ci-desεus des dispositifs connus en proposant un dispositif de maintien en attente d'utilisation d'une sangle de ceinture de sécurité d'un siège de véhicule automobile permettant à l'occupant de ce siège de' saisir très facilement la sangle de ceinture de sécurité pour boucler ensuite la ceinture au siège .The present invention aims to eliminate the above disadvantages of known devices by providing a holding device waiting for use of a seat belt strap of a motor vehicle seat allowing the occupant of this seat to 'very easily grasp the seat belt strap to then buckle the seat belt.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif permettant de maintenir en attente d'utilisation une sangle d'une ceinture de sécurité d'un siège notamment avant de véhicule automobile, le siège étant équipé d'un élément de préhension disposé latéralement au dossier du siège en regard de la caisse du véhicule et actionnable mantuellement pour commander un mécanisme de déverrouillage autorisant au moins le pivotement du dossier à une position inclinée de réglage, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un doigt de maintien monté pivotant à l'élément de préhension entre une position inactive escamotée et une position active faisant saillie latéralement au dossier du siège vers la caisse du véhicule et à laquelle position active une partie de la sangle de ceinture de sécurité peut être disposée sur le doigt de maintien en attente d'utilisation pour permettre à un occupant du siège de saisir facilement la sangle.For this purpose, according to the invention, the device making it possible to maintain the use of a seatbelt webbing of a seat, particularly before a motor vehicle, the seat being equipped with a gripping element arranged laterally to the seat. seat back opposite the vehicle body and operable normally to control an unlocking mechanism allowing at least the pivoting of the backrest to a position Inclined adjustment, is characterized in that it comprises a holding finger pivotally mounted to the gripping element between a retracted inactive position and an active position projecting laterally to the seat back to the vehicle body and at which active position a portion of the seat belt webbing may be disposed on the holding finger awaiting use to allow a seat occupant to easily grasp the strap.
L'ensemble à élément de préhension et doigt de maintien est situe en partie supérieure du dossier.The assembly with gripping element and holding finger is located in the upper part of the folder.
En position escamotée, le doigt de maintien épouse la forme de 1 ' élément de préhension en étant complètement intégré à cet élément.In the retracted position, the retaining finger conforms to the shape of the gripping element while being completely integrated with this element.
Le doigt de maintien est fixé à l'une de ses extrémités à 1 ' élément de préhension par un axe de pivotement sensiblement horizontal.The holding finger is fixed at one of its ends to the gripping element by a substantially horizontal pivot axis.
Le doigt de maintien est rappelé automatiquement à sa position escamotée à l'élément de préhension, en l'absence de la sangle sur le doigt de maintien, par un moyen élastique de rappel, tel qu'un ressort de torsion, interposé entre le doigt et l'élément de préhension. • • L'élément de préhension est en forme de poignée arquée et le doigt présente une forme arquée creuse conjuguée de manière à épouser le contour de la poignée en position escamotée du doigt.The holding finger is automatically recalled to its retracted position to the gripping element, in the absence of the strap on the holding finger, by an elastic return means, such as a torsion spring, interposed between the finger and the gripping element. • • The gripping element is shaped arched handle and the finger has a hollow arched shape conjugate so as to marry the contour of the handle in the retracted position of the finger.
Le véhicule est du type à trois portes, cabriolet ou coupé.The vehicle is of the three-door, convertible or coupe type.

Le dispositif de l'invention va être décrit en référence à un siège avant d'un véhicule automobile du type à trois portes, cabriolet ou coupé, mais il est bien entendu qu'il peut s'appliquer à d'autres sièges de véhicules automobiles dans lesquels se pose un problème d'accès à la ceinture de sécurité du siège par l'occupant de ce siège. En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, la référence 1 désigne un dossier de siège avant de véhicule automobile équipé d'un élément de préhension 2 disposé latéralement au dossier 1 en partie suspendue au dossier et en regard de la caisse du véhicule. L'élément de préhension 2 présente avantageusement la forme d'une poignée arquée 3 dont la base 4 est normalement en appui sur une semelle 5 solidaire du côté du dossier 1. L'élément de préhension 2 est relié à un mécanisme de déverrouillage du dossier 1 pour le basculement à une position inclinée de réglage de ce dossier. Ce mécanisme comprend une biellette 6 solidaire de .la base 5 de l'élément de préhension 2 au travers d'une fente de la semelle 5 et montée à rotation à l'opposé de la semelle 5 autour d'un axe 7 solidaire du dossier l. La biellette 6 est reliée directement à un mécanisme proprement dit de déverrouillage (non représenté) du dossier 1. Ainsi; le pivotement du dossier 1 à une position inclinée de réglage souhaitée s'effectue en saisissant l'élément de préhension 2 à sa position de repos représentée notamment en traits pleins en figure 2 et déplaçant l'élément de préhension 2 à 5a position représentée en traits mixtes à cette figure pour faire pivoter la biellette 6 autour de l'axe 7 et provoquer le déverrouillage du mécanisme autorisant le basculement du dossier 1.The device of the invention will be described with reference to a front seat of a motor vehicle of the three-door, convertible or coupe type, but it is understood that it can be applied to other motor vehicle seats. in which there is a problem of access to the seat-belt by the occupant of that seat. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the reference 1 designates a front seat back of a motor vehicle equipped with a gripping element 2 disposed laterally to the backrest 1 partly suspended from the backrest and facing the vehicle body. The gripping element 2 advantageously has the shape of an arched handle 3 whose base 4 is normally supported on a sole 5 secured to the backrest 1. The gripping element 2 is connected to a mechanism for unlocking the backrest 1 for tilting to an inclined setting position of this folder. This mechanism comprises a link 6 secured to the base 5 of the gripping element 2 through a slot of the sole 5 and rotatably mounted opposite the sole 5 about an integral axis 7 of the file l. The rod 6 is connected directly to a proper mechanism of unlocking (not shown) of the folder 1. Thus; the pivoting of the backrest 1 to an inclined position of desired adjustment is effected by grasping the gripping element 2 at its rest position shown in particular in full lines in FIG. 2 and moving the gripping element 2 to 5a position shown in phantom mixed to this figure to rotate the rod 6 about the axis 7 and cause the unlocking mechanism allowing the tilting of the backrest 1.
Le cas échéant, le mécanisme peut également être adapté pour déverrouiller l'assise du siège et la régler à une position longitudinale souhaitée.If necessary, the mechanism can also be adapted to unlock the seat cushion and adjust it to a desired longitudinal position.
Une ceinture de sécurité 8, dont seule une partie de la sangle 9 est représentée, est prévue pour retenir une personne sur son siège lors d'un choc. La sangle 9 a son extrémité inférieure fixée à la caisse du véhicule et en particulier en bas d'un pied du milieu de cette caisse et son extrémité opposée est fixée à un enrouleur automatique relie à la caisse du véhicule. La sangle 9 est pourvue d'une boucle d'attache, non représentée, pouvant se verrouiller à un organe de fixation solidaire du châssis du véhicule.A seat belt 8, only part of the strap 9 is shown, is provided to hold a person on his seat during a shock. The strap 9 has its lower end fixed to the vehicle body and in particular at the bottom of a foot of the middle of this body and its opposite end is attached to an automatic retractor connected to the vehicle body. The strap 9 is provided with a fastening loop, not shown, which can be locked to a fastener secured to the chassis of the vehicle.
Le dispositif de l'invention permettant de maintenir en attente d'utilisation la sangle 9 de la ceinture de sécurité θ comprend un doigt de maintien 10 fixé à l'une de ses extrémités à l'élément de préhension 3 en partie inférieure de celui-ci par un axe de pivotement sensiblement horizontal 11 s 'étendant approximativement transversalement au dossier 1, de manière que le doigt 10 puisse occuper une position inactive escamotée sur la poignée 3 de 1 ' élément de préhension 2 comme représenté en traits mixtes en figure 2 ou une position active faisant saillie latéralement du dossier l vers la caisse du véhicule comme représenté en traits forts à cette figure .The device of the invention making it possible to keep the belt 9 of the safety belt 9 at stand-by use comprises a holding pin 10 fastened at one of its ends to the gripping element 3 in the lower part of this belt. ci by a substantially horizontal pivot axis 11 extending approximately transversely to the backrest 1, so that the finger 10 can occupy an inactive position retracted on the handle 3 of 1 'gripping element 2 as shown in phantom in Figure 2 or an active position projecting laterally backrest l to the vehicle body as shown in bold lines in this figure.
A La position active du doigt 10, la sangle 9 peut être disposée sur ce doigt qui la maintient en attente d'utilisation à une position déportée relativement au dossier 1 comme représenté en figure 2.At the active position of the finger 10, the strap 9 can be placed on this finger which keeps it waiting for use at a position offset relative to the backrest 1 as represented in FIG. 2.
Le doigt de maintien 10 présente une formé arquée conjuguée à celle de la poignée 3 de l'élément de préhension 2 et est intérieurement creux de manière à épouser parfaitement le contour de la poignée 3 en position escamotée du doigt 10 et être ainsi complètement intégré à cette poignée. La forme arquée du doigt 10 permet de maintenir latéralement la sangle 9 relativement au dossier 1.The holding finger 10 has an arched shape conjugated to that of the handle 3 of the gripping element 2 and is internally hollow so as to perfectly fit the contour of the handle 3 in the retracted position of the finger 10 and thus be completely integrated with this handle. The arched shape of the finger 10 makes it possible to hold the strap 9 laterally relative to the backrest 1.
Le doigt 10 peut être rappelé automatiquement à sa position escamotée à l'élément de préhension 2, en l'absence de la sangle 9 sur le doigt 10, par un moyen élastique de rappel, tel qu'un ressort de torsion, interposé entre le doigt 10 et l'élément 2. Dans le cas d'un ressort de torsion, celui-ci est alors monté coaxialement à l'axe de pivotement 11.The finger 10 can be automatically recalled to its retracted position to the gripping element 2, in the absence of the strap 9 on the finger 10, by an elastic return means, such as a torsion spring, interposed between the finger 10 and the element 2. In the case of a torsion spring, it is then mounted coaxially with the pivot axis 11.
En position d'utilisation du doigt 10, l'occupant, une fois assis sur son siège, peut très facilement saisir la sangle 9 quelles que soient la morphologie de l'occupant et les positions du siège en direction longitudinale du véhicule et d'inclinaison du doβsier de ce siège, sans contorsions gênantes de la part, de l'occupant. Le doigt 10 est ainsi utilisé lorsque la ceinture de sécurité θ est à sa position rangée et n'est plus utilisé une foiB la ceinture de sécurité 8 bouclée au siège.In the position of use of the finger 10, the occupant, once seated in his seat, can very easily grab the strap 9 regardless of the morphology of the occupant and the seat positions in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and inclination of the chair, without uncomfortable contortions on the part of the occupant. The finger 10 is thus used when the seat belt θ is at its stored position and is no longer used a seat belt 8 buckled to the seat.
Lorsqu'une personne aouhaite accéder au siège arrière du véhicule avec la sangle 9 occupant sa position d'attente d'utilisation, cette personne dégage complètement la sangle 9 du doigt 10 qui pivote alors automatiquement autour de l'axe 11 à sa position escamotée à l'élément de préhension 3 ou, en l'absence du moyen de rappel automatique de ce doigt à sa position escamotée, la personne amène manuellement le doigt 10 à sa position escamotée. Il en va de mime lorsque la personne souhaite utiliser l'élément de préhension 2 pour actionner le mécanisme de déverrouillage du dossier 1 et l'incliner à une position de réglage souhaitée.When a person wishes to access the rear seat of the vehicle with the strap 9 in its standby position, this person completely releases the strap 9 of the finger 10 which then automatically pivots about the axis 11 to its retracted position to the gripping element 3 or, in the absence of the automatic return means of the finger to its retracted position, the person manually brings the finger 10 to its retracted position. The same is true when the person wishes to use the gripping element 2 to actuate the unlocking mechanism of the backrest 1 and tilt it to a desired adjustment position.
Le doigt de maintien 10 de la sangle 9 permet de présenter cette sangle pour qu'elle soit facilement saisie par l'occupant du siège. Ce doigt a donc pour rôle de maintenir la sangle 9 à sa position d'attente d'utilisation et ne constitue pas un déviateur de sangle ni un moyen de guidage de celle-ci. Le doigt 10 est utilisé lorsque la ceinture de sécurité est rangée et n'est pas utilisée en situation de la ceinture de sécurité portée par l'occupant du siège. The holding finger 10 of the strap 9 makes it possible to present this strap so that it is easily grasped by the occupant of the seat. This finger therefore has the role of maintaining the strap 9 in its position of waiting for use and does not constitute a belt deflector nor a guide means thereof. The finger 10 is used when the seat belt is stored and is not used in situation of the seat belt worn by the occupant of the seat.
