Description

" Dispositif d'agencement de l'espace à l'intérieur d'un habitacle de véhicule automobile et véhicule équipé de ce dispositif " "Device for arranging the space inside a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle and vehicle equipped with this device"
La présente invention concerne principalement un dispositif d'agencement modulable de l'espace à l'intérieur de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention mainly relates to a device for modular arrangement of the space inside the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle.
L' invention concerne également un véhicule automobile comportant un tel dispositif.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such a device.
L'agencement modulable de l'espace dans un véhicule automobile, et en particulier de l'espace dans l'habitacle, est constamment recherché par souci de gain de place mais également d'organisation de rangement notamment lors du transport d'objets encombrants.The modular arrangement of the space in a motor vehicle, and in particular the space in the cabin, is constantly sought for space saving but also storage organization especially when transporting bulky objects.
Par exemple, la publication GB-A-2341369 décrit un plancher mobile qui est monté coulissant entre une position initiale de rangement sous un siège avant du véhicule et une position finale dans laquelle il s'étend depuis ce siège jusqu'à la face inférieure de la planche de bord en formant un compartiment fermé. Dans ce dispositif, une tablette rigide est fixée à la carrosserie et s'étend depuis la partie basse du siège concerné jusqu'au plancher de carrosserie de manière à fermer complètement le compartiment.For example, GB-A-2341369 discloses a movable floor which is slidably mounted between an initial storage position under a front seat of the vehicle and a final position in which it extends from that seat to the underside of the vehicle. the dashboard forming a closed compartment. In this device, a rigid shelf is attached to the body and extends from the lower part of the seat concerned to the floor of the body so as to completely close the compartment.
Le plancher mobile décrit dans cette publication est guidé dans son déplacement par des rails fixés sous le siège à une hauteur définissant l'espace de stockage du compartiment ainsi formé.The movable floor described in this publication is guided in its movement by rails fixed under the seat at a height defining the storage space of the compartment thus formed.
Le compartiment formé dans la position finale aménage ainsi un espace à l'abri des regards permettant de se prémunir contre les risques de vol, en particulier dans le cas d'un véhicule décapotable.The compartment formed in the final position thus provides a space out of sight to protect against the risk of theft, especially in the case of a convertible.
Cependant, le plancher décrit dans cette publication implique de nombreux composants dont le montage et la mise en œuvre sont complexes et coûteux. La présente invention permet de pallier les inconvénients précités et propose à cet effet un dispositif d'agencement de l'espace à l'intérieur de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile comprenant un plancher qui est mobile entre une position initiale de rangement sous un siège dudit véhicule et une position finale de déploiement couvrant au moins en partie l'espace situé au-dessus du plancher de carrosserie à l'avant de ce siège. Selon l'invention, le plancher mobile comprend au moins un premier panneau monté articulé sous le siège autour de moyens d'articulation.However, the floor described in this publication involves many components whose assembly and implementation are complex and expensive. The present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and proposes for this purpose a device for arranging the space inside the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising a floor which is movable between an initial storage position under a seat of said vehicle and a final deployment position at least partially covering the space above the body floor at the front of this seat. According to the invention, the movable floor comprises at least a first panel mounted hinged under the seat around hinge means.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comprend des moyens d'appui dudit panneau dans sa position finale de déploiement. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le premier panneau est monté rotatif au plancher de carrosserie sous siège autour d'un axe de rotation YY' perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale du véhicule . Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le premier panneau est articulé, par les moyens d'articulation, à une planchette de fixation rigidement solidarisée au plancher de carrosserie sous siège.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device comprises means for supporting said panel in its final deployment position. According to another characteristic of the invention, the first panel is rotatably mounted to the underbody body floor around an axis of rotation YY 'perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. According to another characteristic of the invention, the first panel is articulated, by the hinge means, to a fastening board rigidly secured to the underbody floor.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, les moyens d'articulation et d'appui permettent au premier panneau de former un angle de 180° par rapport au plancher plan sous siège dans sa position finale de déploiement de façon à prolonger ce plancher vers l'espace avant du siège . Par ailleurs, les moyens d'articulation du premier panneau à la planchette de fixation peuvent être des charnières-film permettant la réalisation du premier panneau et de la planchette de fixation en une seule pièce . Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, le premier panneau est solidaire, par son extrémité opposée à la planchette de fixation, d'un deuxième panneau susceptible de former notamment arrêt de charge lorsque le plancher est en position déployée.According to a first embodiment, the hinge and support means allow the first panel to form an angle of 180 ° with respect to the flat floor under the seat in its final deployment position so as to extend this floor to the space before the seat. Furthermore, the hinge means of the first panel to the fastening board may be film hinges for the realization of the first panel and the fastening board in one piece. According to a second embodiment, the first panel is secured, by its end opposite to the fastening board, a second panel susceptible to form in particular stop load when the floor is in the deployed position.
Selon une variante du deuxième mode de réalisation, le deuxième panneau est rigidement solidaire du premier panneau et définit un angle sensiblement égal à 90° avec ce premier panneau de façon à former arrêt de charge lorsque le plancher est en position déployée.According to a variant of the second embodiment, the second panel is rigidly secured to the first panel and defines an angle substantially equal to 90 ° with the first panel so as to form a load stop when the floor is in the deployed position.
Selon une deuxième variante du deuxième mode de réalisation, le deuxième panneau est monté articulé au premier panneau de façon à pouvoir s'étendre à l'avant du premier panneau lorsque que le plancher est en position déployée .According to a second variant of the second embodiment, the second panel is hinged to the first panel so as to extend forward of the first panel when the floor is in the deployed position.
Avantageusement, le deuxième panneau est tel que lorsque le plancher est en position déployée, il est susceptible de venir en butée contre une partie fixe du véhicule à l'avant du siège concerné, telle que la partie basse de la planche de bord du véhicule automobile lorsque le dispositif est monté sous un siège avant ou la face arrière d'un siège avant adjacent au siège concerné lorsque le dispositif est monté sous un siège arrière.Advantageously, the second panel is such that when the floor is in the deployed position, it is likely to abut against a fixed part of the vehicle in front of the seat concerned, such as the lower part of the dashboard of the motor vehicle when the device is mounted under a front seat or the rear face of a front seat adjacent to the seat concerned when the device is mounted under a rear seat.
Préférentiellement , les moyens d'articulation du premier panneau au deuxième panneau sont des charnières- film permettant la réalisation du premier panneau, du deuxième panneau et de la planchette de fixation en une seule pièce.Preferably, the hinge means of the first panel to the second panel are hinges-film for the realization of the first panel, the second panel and the fastening board in one piece.
Par ailleurs, les moyens d'appui du plancher mobile dans sa position finale de déploiement peuvent comprendre deux butées sur lesquelles le premier panneau est susceptible de venir en appui, chaque butée étant solidaire d'un élément de carrosserie du véhicule, tel qu'un tunnel du plancher de carrosserie et un longeron qui sont disposés de part et d'autre de ce premier panneau .Furthermore, the support means of the mobile floor in its final deployment position may comprise two stops on which the first panel is likely to come into abutment, each stop being secured to a bodywork element of the vehicle, such as a body floor tunnel and a spar which are arranged on either side of this first panel.
Egalement, les moyens d'appui du premier panneau dans la position finale de déploiement du plancher mobile comprennent une portion de plancher de carrosserie sous siège sur laquelle ce premier panneau vient en appui. L' invention concerne également un véhicule automobile équipé d'au moins un dispositif d'agencement de l'espace tel que défini ci-dessus.Also, the support means of the first panel in the final position of deployment of the movable floor comprises an underbody seat floor portion on which the first panel bears. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle equipped with at least one space arrangement device as defined above.

En référence aux figures 1 à 3, le plancher mobile 1 de l'invention comprend un premier panneau de forme générale rectangulaire 2, rectangulaire en coupe transversale et réalisé en un matériau rigide, qui est relié sur toute sa longueur à une planchette de fixation longitudinale 6 également réalisée en un matériau rigide.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the mobile floor 1 of the invention comprises a first panel of rectangular general shape 2, rectangular in cross-section and made of a rigid material, which is connected throughout its length to a longitudinal fastening board 6 also made of a rigid material.
La planchette de fixation 6 comprend deux évidements 10a, 10b situés au niveau de chaque extrémité longitudinale 3a, 3b de cette planchette 6, chacun de ces évidements 10a, 10b étant traversé par une vis 12a destinée à solidariser la plancher mobile 1 dans l'habitacle du véhicule 16 comme il sera détaillé plus loin . Le premier panneau 2 et la planchette de fixation 6 sont reliés entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière-film 8 permettant au premier panneau 2 d'être mobile en rotation par rapport à la planchette de fixation 6 autour de l'axe de rotation YY' défini par cette charnière-film 8 qui présente en coupe 2 V opposés par leur base respective 8a et 8b (figure 1), de sorte que l'épaisseur de la planchette 6 et du premier panneau 2 soit réduite localement au niveau de la charnière-film 8. Par ailleurs, l'angle des V de la charnière-film 8 permet de contrôler et de limiter la rotation du premier panneau 2 relativement à la planchette de fixation 6.The fastening board 6 comprises two recesses 10a, 10b located at each longitudinal end 3a, 3b of this board 6, each of these recesses 10a, 10b being traversed by a screw 12a intended to secure the movable floor 1 in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 16 as will be detailed later. The first panel 2 and the fastening board 6 are interconnected by means of a film hinge 8 allowing the first panel 2 to be rotatable relative to the fastening board 6 about the axis of YY 'rotation defined by this hinge-film 8 which has in section 2 V opposed by their respective base 8a and 8b (Figure 1), so that the thickness of the board 6 and the first panel 2 is reduced locally at the level of the hinge-film 8. Moreover, the angle V of the hinge-film 8 makes it possible to control and limit the rotation of the first panel 2 relative to the fastening board 6.
Le premier panneau 2 est rigidement solidaire, par son extrémité opposée à la planchette de fixation 6, d'un deuxième panneau longitudinal 30 qui est de longueur nettement inférieure à la longueur du premier panneau 2, rectangulaire en coupe transversale et réalisé en un matériau rigide, et qui forme un angle sensiblement égal à 90° avec le premier panneau 2. Le plancher mobile 1 constitué par le premier panneau 2, le deuxième panneau 30 ainsi que la planchette de fixation 6 peut être réalisé en une seule pièce par la technique de moulage qui impose, pour la réalisation de la charnière-film 8, des angles de dépouille formant les 2 V qui constituent cette charnière-film 8.The first panel 2 is rigidly secured, by its end opposite to the fastening board 6, of a second longitudinal panel 30 which is of a length substantially smaller than the length of the first panel 2, rectangular in cross section and made of a rigid material , and which forms an angle substantially equal to 90 ° with the first panel 2. The movable floor 1 constituted by the first panel 2, the second panel 30 and the fastening board 6 can be made in one piece by the technique of molding which imposes, for the production of the film hinge 8, draft angles forming the 2 V which constitute this hinge-film 8.
Le plancher mobile 1 décrit précédemment est solidarisé au plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 par engagement de la planchette de fixation 6 dans une rainure conjuguée (non représentée) pratiquée parallèlement et à faible distance du bord avant transversal 27 du plancher sous siège 26 (figures 2 et 3) et par enfoncement (non représenté) de la vis 12a qui traverse l'évidement 10a de la planchette 6 dans ce plancher 26.The movable floor 1 described above is secured to the underbody floor 26 by engagement of the fastening board 6 in a conjugate groove (not shown) made in parallel and at a short distance from the transverse front edge 27 of the under-seat floor 26 (FIGS. 2 and 3) and by driving (not shown) of the screw 12a which passes through the recess 10a of the board 6 in this floor 26.
En variante, la planchette de fixation 6 peut être solidarisée au plancher de carrosserie 26 par collage ou un procédé analogue.Alternatively, the fastening board 6 may be secured to the body floor 26 by gluing or a similar method.
Dans la position initiale de rangement représentée sur la figure 3, le premier panneau 2 est disposé entièrement sous une assise 19 du siège arrière 18 en reposant sur le plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 et en formant un angle σ avec la planchette de fixation 6.In the initial storage position shown in FIG. 3, the first panel 2 is placed entirely under a seat 19 of the rear seat 18 while resting on the underbody floor 26 and forming an angle σ with the fastening board 6.
Dans cette position initiale, le deuxième panneau 30 pénètre dans une rainure conjuguée 32, pratiquée transversalement dans le plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26. Ainsi, le plancher mobile 1 est, dans sa position initiale de rangement représenté sur la figure 3, situé sous l'assise 19 du siège arrière 18 du véhicule 16 en se trouvant à une hauteur H du plancher de carrosserie 24 à l'avant du siège 18 et en permettant au siège arrière 18 d'être employé dans des conditions normales d' utilisation .In this initial position, the second panel 30 enters a conjugate groove 32, made transversely in the underbody floor 26. Thus, the movable floor 1 is, in its initial storage position shown in FIG. seat 19 of the rear seat 18 of the vehicle 16 at a height H of the body floor 24 at the front of the seat 18 and allowing the rear seat 18 to be used under normal conditions of use.
Par application d'un mouvement de rotation, illustré par la flèche Fl sur la figure 4, du premier panneau 2 par rapport à la planchette de fixation 6 vers l'avant dans la direction longitudinale du véhicule en marche, le premier panneau 2 bascule depuis sa position initiale de rangement, représentée sur la figure 3, jusqu'à une position finale de déploiement, représentée sur la figure 5, en passant par une position intermédiaire, visible sur la figure 4.By applying a rotational movement, illustrated by the arrow Fl in FIG. 4, of the first panel 2 with respect to the fastening board 6 forwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in motion, the first panel 2 has since its initial storage position, shown in Figure 3, to a final deployment position, shown in Figure 5, through an intermediate position, visible in Figure 4.
Pour procéder à ce basculement, l'assise 19 du siège arrière 18 est relevée contre le dossier 20 de façon à découvrir le plancher sous siège 26 et le plancher mobile 1 de l'invention comme illustré à la figure 2.To perform this tilting, the seat 19 of the rear seat 18 is raised against the backrest 20 of way to discover the floor under seat 26 and the movable floor 1 of the invention as illustrated in Figure 2.
Dans sa position finale de déploiement de la figure 5, le premier panneau 2 forme un angle T par rapport à la planchette de fixation 6 et un angle de 180° par rapport au plancher plan sous siège 26, de façon à prolonger ce plancher 26 vers l'espace avant 34 du siège 18 en couvrant en partie cet espace. Le premier panneau 2 est maintenu dans cette position en étant en appui contre la portion du plancher de carrosserie sous siège située entre la planchette de fixation 6 et le bord avant transversal 27 de ce plancher de carrosserie 26. Une fois le plancher mobile 1 déployé, le deuxième panneau 30 vient à proximité d'une partie basse du dossier du siège conducteur 22 et forme dans cette position un arrêt de charge pour des objets, tels qu'un sac à main ou une mallette, pouvant être déposés sur ce plancher mobile 1 comme visible sur la figure 6.In its final deployment position of FIG. 5, the first panel 2 forms an angle T with respect to the fastening board 6 and an angle of 180 ° with respect to the flat floor under the seat 26, so as to prolong this floor 26 towards the front space 34 of the seat 18 partially covering this space. The first panel 2 is held in this position while bearing against the portion of the underbody floor between the fastening board 6 and the transverse front edge 27 of the body floor 26. Once the movable floor 1 deployed, the second panel 30 comes close to a lower part of the back of the driver's seat 22 and forms in this position a load stop for objects, such as a purse or a briefcase, which can be deposited on this movable floor 1 as shown in Figure 6.
Comme illustré sur la figure 7, on peut aussi prévoir d'enlever totalement le siège arrière 18 de l'habitacle 15, de manière à obtenir un espace supplémentaire pour disposer des objets encombrants sur l'ensemble de la surface formée par le plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 et le plancher mobile 1.As illustrated in Figure 7, it is also possible to completely remove the rear seat 18 of the passenger compartment 15, so as to obtain additional space to dispose of bulky objects on the entire surface formed by the floor of the body under seat 26 and the movable floor 1.
Pour les deux configurations représentées sur les figures 6 et 7, l'espace avant 34 est au moins en partie couvert par le premier panneau 2, ce qui permet d'y stocker des objets à l'abri des regards.For the two configurations shown in Figures 6 and 7, the front space 34 is at least partially covered by the first panel 2, which allows to store objects in the dark.
Sur la figure 8, est représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation du plancher mobile 1 disposé sous un siège avant du véhicule, en particulier le siège du passager 40. Comme pour le premier mode de réalisation, le plancher mobile 1 de l'invention comprend un premier panneau de forme générale rectangulaire 2, rectangulaire en coupe transversale et réalisé en un matériau rigide, qui est relié sur toute sa longueur à une planchette de fixation longitudinale 6 également réalisée en un matériau rigide. La planchette de fixation 6 comprend deux évidements 10a situés au niveau de chaque extrémité longitudinal 3a de cette planchette 6, chacun de ces évidements 10a est traversé par une vis 12a destinée à solidariser la plancher mobile 1 dans l'habitacle du véhicule comme il sera détaillé plus loin.In Figure 8, there is shown a second embodiment of the movable floor 1 disposed under a front seat of the vehicle, in particular the passenger seat 40. As for the first embodiment, the movable floor 1 of the invention comprises a first panel of rectangular general shape 2, rectangular in cross section and made of a rigid material, which is connected over its entire length to a longitudinal fastening board 6 also made of a rigid material. The fastening board 6 comprises two recesses 10a located at each longitudinal end 3a of this board 6, each of these recesses 10a is traversed by a screw 12a for securing the movable floor 1 in the passenger compartment of the vehicle as will be detailed further.
Le premier panneau 2 et la planchette de fixation 6 sont reliés entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière-film 8 permettant au premier panneau 2 d'être mobile en rotation par rapport à la planchette de fixation 6 autour de l'axe de rotation YY' défini par cette charnière-film 8 qui présente en coupe 2 V opposés par leur base respective 8a et 8b (figure 8), de sorte que l'épaisseur de la planchette 6 et du premier panneau 2 soit réduite localement au niveau de la charnière-film 8.The first panel 2 and the fastening board 6 are interconnected by means of a film hinge 8 allowing the first panel 2 to be rotatable relative to the fastening board 6 about the axis of rotation YY 'defined by this hinge-film 8 which has in section 2 V opposed by their respective base 8a and 8b (Figure 8), so that the thickness of the board 6 and the first panel 2 is reduced locally at the level of the hinge-film 8.
Par ailleurs, l'angle des V de la charnière-film 8 permet de contrôler et de limiter la rotation du premier panneau 2 relativement à la planchette de fixation 6.Moreover, the angle V of the film hinge 8 makes it possible to control and limit the rotation of the first panel 2 relative to the fastening board 6.
Dans ce second mode de réalisation, le plancher mobile 1 comprend également un deuxième panneau 31 monté articulé par rapport au premier panneau 2 et plus précisément monté mobile en rotation par rapport à ce premier panneau 2 autour d'un axe de rotation YlYl' défini par une charnière-film 38 identique à la charnière-film 8 reliant le premier panneau 2 à la planchette de fixation 6.In this second embodiment, the movable floor 1 also comprises a second panel 31 mounted articulated with respect to the first panel 2 and more precisely rotatably mounted relative to this first panel 2 about an axis of rotation YlYl 'defined by a hinge-film 38 identical to the hinge-film 8 connecting the first panel 2 to the fastening board 6.
Le deuxième panneau articulé 31 présente une forme rectangulaire, des dimensions sensiblement égales à celles du premier panneau 2, et est réalisé en un matériau rigide.The second hinged panel 31 has a rectangular shape, dimensions substantially equal to those of the first panel 2, and is made of a rigid material.
Comme pour le premier mode de réalisation, le plancher mobile 1, constitué par le premier panneau 2, le deuxième panneau 31 ainsi que la planchette de fixation 6, peut être réalisé en une seule pièce par la technique de moulage qui impose, pour la réalisation des charnières-film 8 et 38, des angles de dépouille formant ainsi les 2 V respectifs 8a, 8b et 38a, 38b.As for the first embodiment, the mobile floor 1, constituted by the first panel 2, the second panel 31 and the fastening board 6, can be made in one piece by the molding technique which imposes, for the production of the film hinges 8 and 38, draft angles thus forming the respective 2 V 8a, 8b and 38a, 38b.
Par ailleurs, l'angle des V de la charnière-film 38 permet de contrôler et de limiter la rotation du deuxième panneau 31 relativement au premier panneau 2.Moreover, the angle V of the film hinge 38 makes it possible to control and limit the rotation of the second panel 31 relative to the first panel 2.
Afin de permettre la reprise des références du premier mode de réalisation, les figures 9 à 23 reprennent les références ci-dessus mutatis mutandis, c'est-à-dire par analogie. Ainsi, le plancher du siège avant 24 aux figures 1 à 7 devient le plancher 26 sur lequel est monté le plancher mobile 1. Par conséquent, le plancher mobile 1 décrit précédemment est solidarisé au plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 par solidarisation de la planchette de fixation 6 au niveau du bord avant transversal 27 du plancher sous siège 26 (figure 9) obtenue par enfoncement (non représenté) de la vis 12a dans ce plancher 26.In order to allow the references of the first embodiment to be repeated, FIGS. 9 to 23 show the above references mutatis mutandis, that is to say by analogy. Thus, the floor of the front seat 24 in Figures 1 to 7 becomes the floor 26 on which is mounted the movable floor 1. Therefore, the movable floor 1 described above is secured to the underbody seat floor 26 by securing the board of fixing 6 at the transverse front edge 27 of the under-seat floor 26 (FIG. 9) obtained by depressing (not shown) the screw 12a in this floor 26.
En variante, la planchette de fixation 6 peut être solidarisée au plancher de carrosserie 26 par collage ou un procédé analogue.Alternatively, the fastening board 6 may be secured to the body floor 26 by gluing or a similar method.
Dans la position initiale de rangement représentée sur les figures 9, 12, 13, 14 et 20, le premier panneau 2 et le deuxième panneau 31 sont disposés entièrement sous l'assise 40a du siège 40 en reposant sur le plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 et en formant entre eux un angle 180°, le premier panneau formant avec la planchette de fixation 6 un angle σ.In the initial storage position shown in FIGS. 9, 12, 13, 14 and 20, the first panel 2 and the second panel 31 are arranged entirely under the seat 40a of the seat 40 while resting on the underbody floor 26 and forming between them a 180 ° angle, the first panel forming with the fastening board 6 an angle σ.
Grâce à l'articulation du premier panneau 2 relativement à la planchette 6 et du deuxième panneau 31 relativement au premier panneau 2, comme décrit précédemment, le plancher mobile 1 peut se déployer vers l'avant du véhicule selon un mouvement général schématisé par la flèche F2 de la figure 10 depuis sa position initiale de rangement jusqu'à une première ou une deuxième position finale de déploiement, respectivement représentées sur les figures 10 et 11.Thanks to the articulation of the first panel 2 relative to the board 6 and the second panel 31 relative to the first panel 2, as described above, the movable floor 1 can be deployed towards the front of the vehicle in a general movement shown schematically by the arrow F2 of Figure 10 from its initial storage position to a first or a second final deployment position, respectively shown in Figures 10 and 11.
Dans la première position finale C, le premier panneau 2 forme un angle τ par rapport à la planchette de fixation 6 et un angle de 180° par rapport au plancher plan sous siège 26, de façon à prolonger ce plancher 26 vers l'espace avant 34 du siège 40 en couvrant en partie cet espace.In the first end position C, the first panel 2 forms an angle τ with respect to the fastening board 6 and an angle of 180 ° with respect to the flat floor under the seat 26, so as to extend this floor 26 towards the front space 34 of the seat 40 partially covering this space.
Pour maintenir le premier panneau 2 dans cette position le dispositif d'agencement 14 de l'invention comprend également deux butées 42a, 42b respectivement solidaires du longeron (non représenté situé du côté du siège 40) et du tunnel du plancher de carrosserie 46 à l'avant du siège 24 sur lesquelles repose le premier panneau 2 (figures 10, 21 et 23) .To maintain the first panel 2 in this position the arrangement device 14 of the invention also comprises two stops 42a, 42b respectively integral with the spar (not shown located on the side of the seat 40) and the tunnel floor of the bodywork 46 to the front of the seat 24 on which rests the first panel 2 (Figures 10, 21 and 23).
Dans cette même première position finale C, le deuxième panneau 31 s'étend vers l'avant du premier panneau 2 en formant un angle OC avec ce premier panneau 2 et est maintenu dans cette position en étant en butée contre une partie basse 44 d'une planche de bord 45, de manière à remplir une fonction d'arrêt de charge d'objets susceptibles d'être disposés sur le premier panneau 2.In this same first end position C, the second panel 31 extends forwardly of the first panel 2 at an angle OC with this first panel 2 and is held in this position abutting against a lower portion 44 of a dashboard 45, so as to fulfill a load-stop function of objects that can be arranged on the first panel 2.
Sur la figure 11 est représentée la deuxième position finale possible de déploiement du plancher mobile 1 dans laquelle le premier panneau 2 s'étend vers l'avant du véhicule 16 en formant un angle δ par rapport au plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 compris entre 90 et 180°, et dans laquelle le deuxième panneau 31 s'étend vers l'avant du premier panneau 2 jusqu'à la partie basse 44 de la planche de bord 45 sur laquelle il est maintenu fixe en butée en formant un angle β avec le premier panneau 2.In Figure 11 is shown the second possible final position of deployment of the movable floor 1 in which the first panel 2 extends towards the front of the vehicle 16 at an angle δ relative to the floor of the underbody seat 26 between 90 and 180 °, and wherein the second panel 31 extends forwardly of the first panel 2 to the lower portion 44 of the dashboard 45 on which it is held fixed abutting at an angle β with the first panel 2.
Comme représenté sur cette figure 11, le deuxième panneau 31 peut être maintenu parallèlement au plancher de carrosserie à l'avant du siège 24, ce qui permet de pouvoir disposer des objets sur ce deuxième panneau 31. Dans ces deux positions finales de déploiement, le plancher mobile 1 délimite un espace avant couvert 34 dont le volume est plus grand dans le cas de la deuxième position finale. En fonction notamment du volume et/ou du nombre d'objets à stocker à l'abri des regards, le conducteur pourra donc choisir l'une ou l'autre des première et deuxième positions de déploiement.As shown in this FIG. 11, the second panel 31 can be held parallel to the floor of the bodywork at the front of the seat 24, which makes it possible to have objects on this second panel 31. In these two final deployment positions, the movable floor 1 defines a front space covered 34 whose volume is larger in the case of the second end position. Depending in particular on the volume and / or the number of objects to be stored away from view, the driver can choose one or the other of the first and second deployment positions.
Le fonctionnement et l'utilisation du plancher mobile 1 décrit précédemment et monté sous le siège passager 40 est décrit ci-après en référence aux figures 12 à 19.The operation and use of the movable floor 1 previously described and mounted under the passenger seat 40 is described below with reference to Figures 12 to 19.
En référence à la figure 12, le plancher mobile 1 du dispositif 14 est dans sa position initiale de rangement sous l'assise 40a du siège du passager 40.Referring to Figure 12, the movable floor 1 of the device 14 is in its initial storage position under the seat 40a of the passenger seat 40.
Une première possibilité pour stocker un objet encombrant sans utiliser le dispositif de l'invention, consiste à rabattre le dossier de siège 40b contre l'assise 40a et à disposer cet objet sur le siège 40 ainsi rabattu qui présente une surface d'appui supérieure à la surface seule du plancher de carrosserie 26 (figure 14) .A first possibility for storing a cumbersome object without using the device of the invention is to fold the seat back 40b against the seat 40a and to arrange this object on the seat 40 thus folded which has a bearing surface greater than the single surface of the body floor 26 (Figure 14).
Mais dans cette configuration, le maintien fixe de l'objet n'est pas assuré puisque le dossier de siège 40b n'est pas plan.But in this configuration, the fixed maintenance of the object is not assured since the seat back 40b is not plane.
Or, le deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans sa première position finale C permet d'augmenter la surface du plancher de carrosserie sous siège 26 tout en conservant la planéité de ce plancher de carrosserie 26. Pour déployer le plancher mobile 1 dans cette première position finale C, l'assise 40a est relevée contre le dossier de siège 40b (figure 13) rendant disponible un espace de stockage au-dessus du plancher mobile 1 et du plancher de carrosserie à l'avant du siège 24.Now, the second embodiment of the invention in its first end position C makes it possible to increase the surface area of the underbody bodywork floor 26 while maintaining the flatness of this body floor 26. To deploy the movable floor 1 in this first end position C, the seat 40a is raised against the seat back 40b (Figure 13) making available a storage space above the movable floor 1 and the floor of the body at the front of the seat 24.
Puis, le plancher mobile 1 est basculé vers l'avant par rotation simultanée ou consécutive du deuxième panneau 31 relativement au premier panneau 2 et de ce premier panneau 2 relativement à la planchette de fixation 6 jusqu'à la première position finale C en passant par des positions intermédiaires A et B représentées sur la figure 15.Then, the mobile floor 1 is tilted forward by simultaneous or consecutive rotation of the second panel 31 relative to the first panel 2 and the first panel 2 relative to the fastening board 6 to the first end position C through intermediate positions A and B shown in Figure 15.
