Description

MONTAGE D'UNE GARNITURE SUR UN PIED MILIEU EQUIPE D'UN SAC GONFLABLE MOUNTING A TRIM ON A FOOT MIDDLE EQUIPPED WITH AN INFLATABLE BAG
L'invention concerne un agencement d'une garniture pour montant ou pied de véhicule automobile comprenant un support de sac gonflable.The invention relates to an arrangement of a lining for an upright or foot of a motor vehicle comprising an airbag support.
L'agencement est particulièrement adapté au pied milieu supérieur d'un véhicule automobile. Elle concerne aussi un procédé de montage d'une garniture sur un montant de véhicule et un véhicule automobile en tant que tel incluant un tel agencement de garniture et de support de sac gonflable. Enfin, l'invention concerne aussi une garniture et un support de sac gonflable en tant que tels, ce dernier étant aussi communément appelé par sa dénomination anglo-saxonne airbag.The arrangement is particularly suitable for the upper middle pillar of a motor vehicle. It also relates to a method of mounting a liner on a vehicle post and a motor vehicle as such including such a liner and airbag support arrangement. Finally, the invention also relates to a lining and an airbag support as such, the latter also commonly known by its Anglo-Saxon name airbag.
Comme cela est connu de l'art antérieur, des éléments gonflables de protection latérale peuvent être montés dans des supports intégrés au sein de parties de la carrosserie du véhicule comme les montants de baie et les pieds milieu. Dans ces solutions, le support d'airbag est donc intégré entre une garniture et le montant d'un véhicule. L'agencement de ces différents éléments dans des volumes restreints, avec des contraintes techniques et esthétiques fortes, reste insatisfaisant avec les solutions de l'art antérieur. Le support d'airbag peut présenter une taille importante et le montage de ces différents éléments est complexe dans un tel cas.As is known from the prior art, inflatable side protection elements may be mounted in integral supports within parts of the vehicle body such as the uprights and the middle legs. In these solutions, the airbag support is integrated between a lining and the amount of a vehicle. The arrangement of these different elements in restricted volumes, with strong technical and aesthetic constraints, remains unsatisfactory with the solutions of the prior art. The airbag support can have a large size and the assembly of these different elements is complex in such a case.
Par conséquent, l'objet de l'invention consiste à proposer un nouvel agencement d'une garniture sur le montant d'un véhicule intégrant un support pour sac gonflable, qui ne présente pas les inconvénients précédents.Therefore, the object of the invention is to provide a new arrangement of a lining on the amount of a vehicle incorporating a support for airbag, which does not have the above disadvantages.
Un autre objet de l'invention concerne aussi un procédé de montage d'une garniture sur un montant ou pied de véhicule automobile. L'invention repose sur l'agencement d'une garniture sur un montant de véhicule automobile comprenant un support de sac gonflable avec un moyen de liaison pour le relier à la garniture par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de liaison complémentaire de la garniture, caractérisé en ce que la garniture comprend des ailes latérales en matériau élastiquement déformable coopérant avec des joints de feuillure de porte, en ce que l'élément de support de sac gonflable est plus large que les feuillures de porte du montant, et en ce que les moyens de liaison complémentaires de la garniture et du support de sac gonflable sont conformés pour permettre le montage de la garniture en la guidant selon un mouvement relatif à l'élément de support de sac gonflable dans les deux directions verticales (z) et transversales (y).Another object of the invention also relates to a method of mounting a lining on an upright or foot of a motor vehicle. The invention is based on the arrangement of a lining on a motor vehicle upright comprising an airbag support with a connecting means for connecting it to the lining by means of a complementary connection means of the lining, characterized in that the liner comprises lateral flanges of elastically deformable material cooperating with door rabbet seals, in that the airbag support member is wider than the door jambs of the upright, and that the complementary connecting means of the lining and the airbag support are shaped to allow the mounting of the liner by guiding it in a relative movement to the airbag support member in both vertical (z) and transverse directions (y). ).
La garniture peut présenter au moins une patte orientée dans les deux directions verticales (z) et transversales (y) coopérant avec une ouverture de l'élément de support de sac gonflable. Cette patte peut présenter dans la partie supérieure de la face intérieure de sa partie plane une forme courbée orientée vers le haut.The liner may have at least one lug oriented in both vertical (z) and transverse (y) directions cooperating with an opening of the airbag support member. This tab may have in the upper part of the inner face of its flat part a curved shape facing upwards.
Le support de sac gonflable peut comprendre des parois latérales arrondies aptes au guidage et à la déformation élastique des ailes de la garniture.The air bag support may comprise rounded side walls capable of guiding and elastic deformation of the wings of the lining.
Les ailes de la garniture sont aptes à une déformation permettant à ses extrémités de s'écarter selon un écart maximal correspondant à la largeur du support de sac gonflable, supérieure à celle des feuillures de porte du montant, au niveau de ses parois latérales arrondies. L'invention porte aussi sur un procédé de montage d'une garniture sur un montant ou pied de véhicule comprenant un support de sac gonflable, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes :The wings of the liner are capable of deformation allowing its ends to deviate at a maximum deviation corresponding to the width of the airbag support, greater than that of the door rebates of the upright, at its rounded side walls. The invention also relates to a method of mounting a lining on a post or foot of a vehicle comprising an airbag support, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
-connexion de moyens de liaison de la garniture avec des moyens de liaison complémentaires du support de sac gonflable ;connecting connection means of the lining with complementary connection means of the airbag support;
-appui sur la garniture pour forcer son déplacement vers le montant du véhicule selon un mouvement dans les deux directions verticales (z) et transversales (y) guidé par les deux moyens de liaison;-support on the lining to force its movement towards the vehicle upright in a movement in both vertical (z) and transverse directions (y) guided by the two connecting means;
-continuité du mouvement précédent jusqu'à ce que les extrémités des ailes latérales de la garniture se déforment en glissant le long des parois arrondies du support de sac gonflable puis dépassent leurs extrémités pour reprendre leur forme initiale dans un logement prévu au niveau des bords du montant ou pied du véhicule.-continuity of the previous movement until the ends of the side wings of the liner deform by sliding along the rounded walls of the airbag support and then protrude their ends to resume their original shape in a housing provided at the edges of the amount or foot of the vehicle.
Ces objets, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront exposés en détail dans la description suivante d'un mode d'exécution particulier fait à titre non-limitatif en relation avec les figures jointes parmi lesquelles :These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in detail in the following description of a particular embodiment made in a non-limiting manner in relation to the appended figures among which:
La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus en coupe par un plan horizontal d'un pied milieu supérieur de véhicule automobile intégrant un mode d'exécution de l'invention ; la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective d'une garniture selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention ; la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective d'un support pour sac gonflable selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention ; la figure 4 représente une vue de côté en coupe par un plan vertical et transversal au véhicule d'un pied milieu supérieur intégrant un mode d'exécution de l'invention. La figure 1 illustre une coupe horizontale de la partie haute d'un pied milieu 1 , comprenant des joints 3 d'entrée de portes disposés sur les feuillures de porte. Un élément de support 2 de sac gonflable est positionné contre ce pied milieu 1 , l'ensemble étant recouvert par une garniture 4 présentant une surface plane dont la face visible orientée vers l'intérieur du véhicule présente une esthétique attrayante. L'autre face cachée de cette surface plane de la garniture 4 présente un moyen de liaison 7 avec un moyen de liaison complémentaire de l'élément de support 2 de sac gonflable. La garniture 4 présente deux ailes latérales arrondies 5 dont les extrémités 6 viennent se loger dans un emplacement prévu au niveau des joints 3 d'entrée de porte. Ainsi, la garniture 4 couvre au mieux le pied milieu, garantissant une esthétique optimale. Cet agencement présente notamment l'originalité d'avoir un support 2 de sac gonflable de grande dimension, de largeur supérieure à celle des feuillures du pied milieu 1. Cette géométrie est avantageuse mais rend complexe le montage de la garniture 4 qui nécessite l'écartement des ailes 5 pour sa mise en place.Figure 1 shows a top view in section through a horizontal plane of a upper middle pillar of a motor vehicle incorporating an embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a liner according to one embodiment of the invention; FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of an airbag support according to an embodiment of the invention; Figure 4 shows a side view in section through a vertical plane and transverse to the vehicle of a higher middle foot incorporating an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1 illustrates a horizontal section of the upper part of a central pillar 1, comprising door entry seals 3 arranged on the door rabbets. An airbag support member 2 is positioned against this central foot 1, the assembly being covered by a lining 4 having a flat surface whose visible face facing the vehicle interior has an attractive appearance. The other hidden face of this flat surface of the liner 4 has a connecting means 7 with a connecting means complementary to the airbag support member 2. The liner 4 has two rounded side wings 5 whose ends 6 are housed in a location provided at the seals 3 door entry. Thus, the lining 4 best covers the middle foot, ensuring optimum aesthetics. This arrangement has the particularity of having a large airbag support 2, of greater width than that of the rabbets of the middle foot 1. This geometry is advantageous but makes complex the assembly of the liner 4 which requires the spacing wings 5 for its implementation.
La figure 2 illustre plus en détail la forme de la garniture 4 dont les ailes 5 forment des gouttières. La face cachée de sa surface plane comprend deux pattes 7 de forme courbée orientée vers le haut, présentant une arrête arrondie 11.Figure 2 illustrates in more detail the shape of the liner 4 whose wings 5 form gutters. The hidden face of its flat surface comprises two tabs 7 of curved shape oriented upwards, having a rounded edge 11.
La figure 3 illustre en perspective une partie de l'élément de support 2 de sac gonflable, qui comprend des surfaces latérales arrondies 9 et des ouvertures 8 aptes a coopérer avec les pattes 7 d'une garniture 4 telle que décrit précédemment.Figure 3 illustrates in perspective a portion of the air bag support member 2, which comprises rounded side surfaces 9 and openings 8 adapted to cooperate with the tabs 7 of a gasket 4 as described above.
La géométrie des moyens de liaison 7, 8 de respectivement la garniture 4 et le support 2 de sac gonflable est telle que ces éléments présentent deux pentes correspondantes 11 , 10, qui guident leur liaison selon un mouvement unique prédéfini, dans deux directions y et z, z étant la direction verticale au véhicule automobile et y sa direction horizontale et transversale. Ce mouvement relatif prédéfini par les moyens de liaison 7, 8, permet la mise en œuvre d'un procédé de montage de la garniture simple, convivial et peu coûteux, malgré la géométrie particulière de l'ensemble, rappelé précédemment.The geometry of the connecting means 7, 8 of respectively the lining 4 and the support 2 of the air bag is such that these elements present two corresponding slopes 11, 10, which guide their connection according to a single predefined movement, in two directions y and z, z being the vertical direction to the motor vehicle and y its horizontal and transverse direction. This relative movement predefined by the connecting means 7, 8, allows the implementation of a simple assembly process of the simple packing, user-friendly and inexpensive, despite the particular geometry of the assembly, recalled previously.
En effet, le procédé de montage de la garniture consiste donc à glisser les pattes 7 de la garniture 4 dans les ouvertures 8 correspondantes de l'élément de support 2 et à exercer une force dans une direction proche de l'axe y. Une telle force va permettre la mise en place quasi-automatique de la garniture, selon le mouvement imposé et guidé par la géométrie des moyens de liaison 7, 8. La géométrie des parties latérales 5 de la garniture 4 et de l'élément de support 2 est telle que les ailes latérales 5 de la garniture 4 vont glisser sur les parois latérales 9 de l'élément de support 2 de sac gonflable, tout en se déformant élastiquement de manière à écarter leurs extrémités 6 jusqu'à ce qu'elles dépassent et échappent aux extrémités des parois 9 de l'élément de support 2 et reprennent alors leur dimension initiale, se logeant simultanément dans leur emplacement prédéfini selon la configuration illustrée sur la figure 1.Indeed, the method of mounting the liner thus consists in sliding the lugs 7 of the liner 4 into the corresponding openings 8 of the support member 2 and exerting a force in a direction close to the y-axis. Such a force will allow the quasi-automatic positioning of the lining, according to the movement imposed and guided by the geometry of the connecting means 7, 8. The geometry of the side portions 5 of the liner 4 and the support member 2 is such that the lateral wings 5 of the liner 4 will slide on the side walls 9 of the air bag support member 2, while elastically deforming so as to spread their ends 6 until they exceed and escape the ends of the walls 9 of the support member 2 and then resume their original dimension, housing simultaneously in their predefined location in the configuration shown in Figure 1.
Le montage précédemment décrit de la garniture 4 permet, par une combinaison d'une élasticité des ailes latérales 5, la rampe 9 de l'élément 2 et des moyens de liaison 7, 8, de réaliser un montage simple de la garniture, réalisable par une seule personne se contentant d'appuyer sur la surface plane de la garniture pour la rapprocher du pied milieu.The previously described assembly of the lining 4 allows, by a combination of elasticity of the lateral flanges 5, the ramp 9 of the element 2 and connecting means 7, 8, to achieve a simple assembly of the lining, which can be achieved by one person merely pressing on the flat surface of the gasket to bring it closer to the foot.
La solution décrite pour un pied milieu de véhicule est adaptée à tout montant de véhicule. Ainsi, la solution atteint bien les objets recherchés et présente les avantages suivants :The solution described for a vehicle center stand is adapted to any vehicle amount. Thus, the solution achieves the desired objects and has the following advantages:
-le pied milieu intègre un dispositif de sac gonflable, dont la géométrie, notamment son volume, est intéressante ;the middle pillar incorporates an inflatable bag device, the geometry of which, in particular its volume, is interesting;
-la garniture couvre au mieux la surface du pied milieu, pour atteindre une esthétique intéressante ;the lining covers the surface of the middle pill, to achieve an attractive aesthetic;
-le montage de la garniture est simple, convivial, peu coûteux. the assembly of the trim is simple, user-friendly, inexpensive.
