Description

Structure de support d'une caisse d'un véhicule comportant un moyen d'actionnement d'un pied de support  Carrier support structure of a vehicle having means for actuating a support leg
L'invention concerne une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile, qui comporte un plateau mobile de support de la caisse. The invention relates to a structure for supporting the body of a motor vehicle, which comprises a movable plate for supporting the body.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile, structure qui comporte :  The invention relates more particularly to a structure for supporting the body of a motor vehicle, a structure comprising:
- un châssis qui s'étend horizontalement,  - a frame that extends horizontally,
- des moyens de support de la caisse du véhicule automobile, comportant au moins un pied de support qui est porté par le châssis et qui est apte à être interposé verticalement entre le châssis et la caisse du véhicule.  - Means for supporting the body of the motor vehicle, comprising at least one support leg which is carried by the frame and which is adapted to be interposed vertically between the frame and the vehicle body.
La fabrication industrielle d'un véhicule automobile comporte plusieurs étapes de fabrication, comme la tôlerie, la peinture et la cataphorèse. The industrial manufacture of a motor vehicle involves several manufacturing stages, such as sheet metal work, painting and cataphoresis.
Au cours de ces étapes, la caisse du véhicule, aussi appelée structure de caisse, est posée sur une structure de support, aussi appelée "portoir", qui supporte le véhicule dans une position stable et sensiblement surélevée, de sorte qu'un opérateur ou une machine est apte à exécuter une tâche sur la caisse du véhicule.  During these steps, the vehicle body, also called body structure, is placed on a support structure, also called "rack", which supports the vehicle in a stable and substantially elevated position, so that an operator or a machine is capable of performing a task on the vehicle body.
De plus, la structure de support est apte à être déplacée pour transporter la caisse du véhicule d'un poste de travail à un autre.  In addition, the support structure is movable to transport the vehicle body from one workstation to another.
A cet effet, la structure de support comporte un châssis horizontal globalement rectangulaire dont un premier et un second longerons sont reliés entre eux et s'étendent longitudinalement en vis à vis.  For this purpose, the support structure comprises a generally rectangular horizontal frame, a first and a second longitudinal members are interconnected and extend longitudinally opposite.
On connaît une structure du type « luge », qui est agencée sous la caisse du véhicule, et qui permet de porter la caisse du véhicule, par exemple au cours d'une opération d'application de cire, de mastic, de peinture ou de toute autre substance pâteuse. A sled type structure is known which is arranged under the vehicle body and which makes it possible to carry the body of the vehicle. vehicle, for example during an application operation of wax, putty, paint or other pasty substance.
De façon connue, le châssis de la structure de support du type luge comporte au moins un pied de support qui est fixé sur le châssis de la structure de support et qui est apte à supporter une partie du soubassement de la caisse du véhicule.  In known manner, the frame of the sled type support structure comprises at least one support leg which is fixed on the frame of the support structure and which is able to support a portion of the underbody of the vehicle body.
A cet effet, le pied comporte un plateau supérieur dont une face supérieure d'appui est apte à coopérer avec une face inférieure d'appui complémentaire de la caisse du véhicule, pour l'appui vertical de la caisse.  For this purpose, the foot comprises an upper plate, an upper bearing surface is adapted to cooperate with a lower bearing surface complementary to the vehicle body, for the vertical support of the body.
La face supérieure d'appui du pied s'étend parallèlement à la face inférieure d'appui de la caisse, de sorte que le plateau supérieur du pied et la face d'appui complémentaire de la caisse sont en appui plan, ou en appui linéaire rectiligne.  The upper bearing surface of the foot extends parallel to the lower bearing surface of the box, so that the upper plate of the foot and the complementary bearing surface of the box are in plane support, or linear support straight.
Dans ce but, la face supérieure d'appui du pied est usinée de façon à présenter une pente parallèle à la face inférieure d'appui associée de la caisse.  For this purpose, the upper bearing surface of the foot is machined so as to have a slope parallel to the lower bearing surface associated with the body.
Toutefois, la pente, ou l'assiette, de la face inférieure d'appui de la caisse peut être différente d'un type de caisse à un autre.  However, the slope, or the attitude, of the underside of support of the body may be different from one type of body to another.
De même, la pente, ou l'assiette, de la face inférieure d'appui de la caisse varie selon le degré d'inclinaison de la caisse par rapport à la structure de support, par exemple lorsque l'arrière de la caisse est surélevé par rapport à l'avant de la caisse.  Similarly, the slope, or the attitude, of the underside of support of the body varies according to the degree of inclination of the body relative to the support structure, for example when the rear of the body is raised compared to the front of the box.
Aussi le pied de support comporte t-il un plateau adapté à une pluralité de types de caisse de véhicule, qui comporte :  Also, the support foot has a tray adapted to a plurality of vehicle body types, which comprises:
- une embase inférieure qui est montée sur le châssis, a lower base which is mounted on the chassis,
- un plateau supérieur d'appui qui est agencé au dessus de l'embase et qui comporte une face supérieure globalement horizontale pour l'appui de la caisse du véhicule, - An upper support plate which is arranged above the base and which has a generally horizontal upper face for the support of the vehicle body,
- un moyen d'articulation mécanique qui est interposé entre le plateau supérieure et l'embase inférieure, de sorte que le plateau est monté pivotant par rapport à l'embase autour d'au moins un premier axe horizontal. a mechanical articulation means which is interposed between the upper plate and the lower base, so that the tray is pivotally mounted relative to the base around at least a first horizontal axis.
L'inconvénient d'un tel pied est qu'il est particulièrement exposé aux différents traitements à laquelle est soumise la caisse du véhicule associé. De ce fait, le pied est susceptible de voir son moyen d'articulation mécanique se coincer sous l'action desdits traitements.  The disadvantage of such a foot is that it is particularly exposed to the different treatments to which the body of the associated vehicle is subjected. Therefore, the foot is likely to see its mechanical articulation means get stuck under the action of said treatments.
Lorsque que l'on passe d'un type de véhicule à un autre sur la structure de support, il est primordial de vérifier que le pied est susceptible de s'articuler naturellement sans coincement.  When moving from one type of vehicle to another on the support structure, it is important to check that the foot is able to articulate naturally without jamming.
Sans cela, la caisse du véhicule serait susceptible d'occuper une position inadéquate.  Without this, the vehicle's body would be likely to occupy an inadequate position.
Il est par ailleurs souhaitable de pouvoir automatiser cette opération de vérification.  It is also desirable to be able to automate this verification operation.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile du type décrit précédemment, comportant des moyens de vérification de l'articulation du pied. For this purpose, the invention proposes a structure for supporting the body of a motor vehicle of the type described above, comprising means for checking the articulation of the foot.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce qu'elle comporte au moins un moyen d'actionnement du pied de support, destiné à solliciter le plateau dudit pied en pivotement autour d'au moins le premier axe horizontal par rapport à son embase pour en vérifier la bonne articulation préalablement à son utilisation.  For this purpose, the invention proposes a structure for supporting the body of a motor vehicle of the type described above, characterized in that it comprises at least one means for actuating the support foot, intended to solicit the tray said foot pivoting about at least the first horizontal axis relative to its base to verify the good articulation prior to its use.

La figure 1 représente une structure de support 10 pour le support du soubassement de la caisse (non représentée) d'un véhicule automobile.  Figure 1 shows a support structure 10 for supporting the underbody of the body (not shown) of a motor vehicle.
La structure de support 10 présente une symétrie générale de conception par rapport à un plan vertical longitudinal de symétrie (non représenté) passant par le milieu de la structure 10.  The support structure 10 has a general design symmetry with respect to a longitudinal vertical plane of symmetry (not shown) passing through the middle of the structure 10.
Des éléments ou composants identiques et symétriques par rapport au plan de symétrie seront désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence indicés a ou b selon qu'ils sont situés d'un premier côté ou d'un second côté du plan de symétrie.  Elements or components that are identical and symmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry will be designated by the same reference numbers indexed a or b according to whether they are situated on a first side or a second side of the plane of symmetry.
La structure de support 10 est ici du type luge, ou brancard, qui comporte un châssis 12. Le châssis 12 est constitué d'un premier longeron 18a et d'un second longeron 18b longitudinaux et parallèles, qui sont reliés entre eux au moins par une première traverse avant 20 transversale et une seconde traverse arrière 22 transversale. The support structure 10 is here of the sled type, or stretcher, which comprises a frame 12. The frame 12 consists of a longitudinal and parallel first longitudinal beam 18a and a second longitudinal beam 18b which are interconnected at least by a first transverse cross member and a second transverse cross member 22.
La structure de support 10 comporte au moins un premier pied arrière 14a et un second pied arrière 14b de support d'une partie arrière du soubassement de la caisse du véhicule.  The support structure 10 comprises at least a first rear foot 14a and a second rear leg 14b for supporting a rear portion of the underbody of the vehicle body.
De plus, la structure de support 10 comporte un premier pied avant 16a et un second pied avant 16b de support d'une partie avant du soubassement de la caisse du véhicule.  In addition, the support structure 10 comprises a first front leg 16a and a second front leg 16b of support of a front portion of the underbody of the vehicle body.
Comme on va le voir dans la suite de la présente description, au moins les pieds avant 16a, 16b sont articulés en pivotement selon deux axes orthogonaux horizontaux.  As will be seen in the remainder of this description, at least the front legs 16a, 16b are pivotally articulated along two horizontal orthogonal axes.
Pour faciliter la compréhension de la description, on décrira seulement le premier pied avant 16a de support, qui sera appelé « pied de support 16a » par la suite.  To facilitate the understanding of the description, it will be described only the first front support leg 16a, which will be called "support foot 16a" thereafter.
Selon la figure 2, le pied de support 16a comporte essentiellement une embase 24a inférieure, un plateau 26a supérieur d'appui qui est agencé au dessus de l'embase 24a et un moyen d'articulation 28a mécanique qui est interposé entre le plateau 26a supérieur et l'embase 24a inférieure.  According to FIG. 2, the support leg 16a essentially comprises a lower base 24a, an upper support plate 26a which is arranged above the base 24a and a mechanical articulation means 28a which is interposed between the upper plate 26a. and the lower base 24a.
L'embase 24a est constituée d'un élément métallique parallélépipédique qui est fixé sur le châssis 12 de la structure 10, par exemple par soudage.  The base 24a consists of a parallelepipedal metal element which is fixed on the frame 12 of the structure 10, for example by welding.
L'embase 24a comporte un puits 30a central cylindrique qui s'étend verticalement selon un axe vertical A, et qui débouche verticalement vers le haut, suivant la direction de la flèche "V".  The base 24a comprises a cylindrical central well 30a which extends vertically along a vertical axis A, and which opens vertically upwards, in the direction of the arrow "V".
De plus, l'embase 24a comporte un premier perçage 32a cylindrique qui s'étend selon un premier axe transversal B à travers le puits 30a central, le premier axe transversal étant orienté sensiblement suivant la direction de la flèche "T", sécante et orthogonale à la direction de la flèche "V". Le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte une colonne 34a centrale verticale dont un tronçon inférieur 36a est destiné à être agencé dans le puits 30a de l'embase 24a. In addition, the base 24a comprises a first cylindrical bore 32a which extends along a first transverse axis B through the central well 30a, the first transverse axis being oriented substantially in the direction of the arrow "T", secant and orthogonal to the direction of the arrow "V". The articulation means 28a comprises a vertical central column 34a, a lower section 36a of which is intended to be arranged in the well 30a of the base 24a.
Le tronçon inférieur 36a de la colonne 34a centrale comporte un second perçage 38a qui est coaxial au premier perçage 32a de l'embase 24a, selon le premier axe transversal B.  The lower portion 36a of the central column 34a has a second bore 38a which is coaxial with the first bore 32a of the base 24a, along the first transverse axis B.
Une goupille élastique 40a s'étend à travers le premier perçage 32a et le second perçage 38a, afin de retenir la colonne 34a sur l'embase 24a.  An elastic pin 40a extends through the first bore 32a and the second bore 38a to retain the column 34a on the base 24a.
Ainsi, la colonne 34a est susceptible d'être désolidarisée de l'embase 24a par retrait de la goupille élastique 40a, par exemple pour être remplacée par une colonne différente.  Thus, the column 34a can be detached from the base 24a by removing the elastic pin 40a, for example to be replaced by a different column.
La colonne 34a comporte un tronçon supérieur 42a vertical délimitant un premier alésage 46a qui s'étend selon un axe longitudinal C, orienté sensiblement suivant la direction de la flèche "L", c'est à dire orthogonalement à la direction "T".  The column 34a comprises an upper vertical portion 42a defining a first bore 46a which extends along a longitudinal axis C, oriented substantially in the direction of the arrow "L", ie orthogonal to the direction "T".
Le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a comporte un second alésage 48a qui s'étend selon un second axe transversal D, le second axe transversal D étant sécant et orthogonal à l'axe longitudinal C.  The upper portion 42a of the column 34a has a second bore 48a which extends along a second transverse axis D, the second transverse axis D being secant and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis C.
Le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte un premier moyeu 50a cylindrique longitudinal qui est monté pivotant dans le premier alésage 46a de la colonne 34a, autour de l'axe longitudinal C.  The articulation means 28a comprises a first longitudinal cylindrical hub 50a which is pivotally mounted in the first bore 46a of the column 34a, about the longitudinal axis C.
Le premier moyeu 50a comporte un perçage cylindrique The first hub 50a has a cylindrical bore
52a qui s'étend coaxialement au second alésage 48a de la colonne 34a, selon le second axe transversal D. 52a extending coaxially with the second bore 48a of the column 34a, along the second transverse axis D.
De plus, le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte un second moyeu 54a cylindrique transversal qui est monté pivotant dans le perçage cylindrique 52a du premier moyeu 50a, autour du second axe transversal D.  In addition, the articulation means 28a comprises a second transverse cylindrical hub 54a which is pivotally mounted in the cylindrical bore 52a of the first hub 50a, around the second transverse axis D.
Le second moyeu 54a comporte un premier tronçon d'extrémité 56a axiale et un second tronçon d'extrémité 58a axiale opposé, qui sont destinés à faire chacun saillie transversa- lement de part et d'autre de la colonne 34a et à être reçus dans des perçages complémentaires 66a opposés du plateau 26a. The second hub 54a has a first axial end section 56a and a second opposite axial end section 58a, which are intended to project each transverse projection. both sides of the column 34a and to be received in complementary holes 66a opposite the plate 26a.
Le plateau 26a est de la forme d'une plaque qui s'étend globalement horizontalement et qui est agencé au dessus de l'embase 24a.  The plate 26a is in the form of a plate which extends generally horizontally and which is arranged above the base 24a.
Le plateau 26a comporte une face supérieure 60a globalement horizontale pour l'appui vertical de la caisse du véhicule.  The plate 26a has a generally horizontal upper face 60a for the vertical support of the vehicle body.
La face supérieure 60a du plateau 26a est plane pour pouvoir recevoir la caisse, laquelle est apte à venir en appui plan sur le plateau 26a.  The upper face 60a of the plate 26a is flat to be able to receive the box, which is adapted to bear flat on the plate 26a.
Le plateau 26a comporte une lumière 62a débouchante verticalement, qui est traversée par la colonne 34a, de sorte que le plateau 26a s'étend autour du tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a.  The plate 26a has a vertical opening 62a which is traversed by the column 34a, so that the plate 26a extends around the upper portion 42a of the column 34a.
De plus, le plateau 26a délimite des perçages 66a opposés selon le second axe transversal D, qui sont agencés axialement en vis à vis de façon à déboucher dans la lumière 62a.  In addition, the plate 26a delimits holes 66a opposite the second transverse axis D, which are arranged axially opposite to open into the slot 62a.
Le premier tronçon d'extrémité 56a et le second tronçon d'extrémité 58a du second moyeu 54a sont reçus dans les perçages opposés 66a du plateau 26a, de sorte que le plateau 26a est ainsi fixé et lié en rotation sur le second moyeu 54a.  The first end section 56a and the second end section 58a of the second hub 54a are received in the opposite bores 66a of the plate 26a, so that the plate 26a is thus fixed and rotatably connected to the second hub 54a.
Ainsi, le plateau 26a est monté pivotant autour du second axe transversal D, par pivotement du second moyeu 54a dans le perçage cylindrique 52a du premier moyeu 50a.  Thus, the plate 26a is pivotally mounted about the second transverse axis D, by pivoting the second hub 54a in the cylindrical bore 52a of the first hub 50a.
De même, de façon simultanée et conjointe, le plateau 26a est monté pivotant autour de l'axe longitudinal C, par pivotement du premier moyeu 50a dans le premier perçage 46a de la colonne 42a.  Similarly, simultaneously and jointly, the plate 26a is pivotally mounted about the longitudinal axis C, by pivoting the first hub 50a in the first hole 46a of the column 42a.
Le premier moyeu 50a est entraîné en pivotement par l'intermédiaire du second moyeu 54a qui relie le plateau 26a au tronçon supérieur 42a.  The first hub 50a is pivotally driven through the second hub 54a which connects the plate 26a to the upper section 42a.
Avantageusement, le premier moyeu 50a est en bronze, constituant ainsi une pièce d'usure du moyen d'articulation 28a. Selon un autre aspect, le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a, qui s'étend verticalement à travers la lumière 30a du plateau 24a, est d'une forme tronconique de section décroissante vers le haut, afin de favoriser l'insertion du tronçon supérieur 42a dans un logement complémentaire (non représenté) de positionnement de la caisse du véhicule. Advantageously, the first hub 50a is made of bronze, thus constituting a wear part of the articulation means 28a. In another aspect, the upper portion 42a of the column 34a, which extends vertically through the slot 30a of the plate 24a, is of frustoconical shape of decreasing section upwards, in order to favor the insertion of the upper section. 42a in a complementary housing (not shown) for positioning the vehicle body.
Le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a peut ainsi coopérer avec le logement de positionnement de la caisse du véhicule pour positionner la caisse par rapport à la structure de support 10.  The upper portion 42a of the column 34a can thus cooperate with the positioning housing of the vehicle body to position the body relative to the support structure 10.
De plus, le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a comporte un premier méplat 70a et un second méplat 72a, représentés à la figure 2, qui s'étendent verticalement de façon opposée, et sont destinés à coopérer avec une face complémen- taire du logement de positionnement associé de la caisse du véhicule, afin de bloquer la caisse en rotation selon un axe vertical, par rapport à la structure de support 10.  In addition, the upper portion 42a of the column 34a has a first flat portion 70a and a second flat portion 72a, shown in FIG. 2, which extend vertically in opposite directions and are intended to cooperate with a complementary surface of the housing. associated positioning of the vehicle body, in order to lock the body in rotation along a vertical axis, with respect to the support structure 10.
Selon l'invention, le plateau 26a mobile du pied de support 16a est susceptible de pivoter autour de l'axe longitudinal C et autour du second axe transversal D, grâce à quoi la face supérieure d'appui 60a du plateau 26a est inclinée parallèlement à la face d'appui de la caisse du véhicule, de sorte que le pied de support 16a est susceptible de supporter différents types de caisses de véhicule.  According to the invention, the movable plate 26a of the support leg 16a is pivotable about the longitudinal axis C and around the second transverse axis D, whereby the upper bearing face 60a of the plate 26a is inclined parallel to the support surface of the vehicle body, so that the support leg 16a is likely to support different types of vehicle bodies.
De plus, la face supérieure d'appui 60a du plateau 26a est inclinée parallèlement à la face d'appui de la caisse du véhicule de façon automatique par la pression que la caisse exerce sur le plateau 26a.  In addition, the upper bearing surface 60a of the plate 26a is inclined parallel to the bearing surface of the vehicle body automatically by the pressure that the body exerts on the plate 26a.
Ainsi, le plateau 26a mobile du pied de support 16a et la face d'appui de la caisse sont ici en appui plan.  Thus, the movable plate 26a of the support leg 16a and the bearing surface of the body are here in plane support.
Dans cette configuration, les pieds de support 16a, 16b sont susceptibles de se coincer et de ne plus pouvoir pivoter si des corps polluants, tels que des vernis ou des résidus de peinture, viennent gêner le mouvement de rotation des moyeux 40a, 50a, ou 54a. In this configuration, the support legs 16a, 16b are likely to become wedged and can no longer be pivoted if polluting bodies, such as varnishes or residues of paint, interfere with the rotational movement of the hubs 40a, 50a, or 54a.
Il importe donc, dans le cadre d'une production de caisses de véhicule automobile en grandes séries, de tester la bonne fonctionnalité de chaque pied 16a, 16b préalablement à la dépose de chaque caisse sur la structure 10.  It is therefore important, in the context of a production of motor vehicle bodies in large series, to test the good functionality of each foot 16a, 16b prior to the removal of each box on the structure 10.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose une structure du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce qu'elle comporte au moins un moyen 74 d'actionnement du pied 16a, 16b de support, destiné à solliciter le plateau 60a dudit pied 16a, 16b en pivotement autour d'au moins le premier axe "C" horizontal par rapport à son embase 24a pour en vérifier la bonne articulation préalablement à son utilisation. For this purpose, the invention proposes a structure of the type described above, characterized in that it comprises at least one means 74 for actuating the support leg 16a, 16b, intended to urge the plate 60a of said foot 16a, 16b pivoting about at least the first axis "C" horizontal relative to its base 24a to check the good articulation before use.
De préférence, le moyen 74 d'actionnement du pied 16a, Preferably, the means 74 for actuating the foot 16a,

Les doigts d'actionnement coulissants 82, 84, 86, 88 sont agencés par paire de part et d'autre d'un perçage vertical 92 de la semelle, complémentaire du tronçon supérieur 42a de positionnement de la colonne 34a.  For this purpose, each actuating means 74 comprises a sole 90, fixed to the plate 78, which is traversed by the sliding actuating fingers 82, 84, 86, 88. The sliding actuating fingers 82, 84, 86 , 88 are arranged in pairs on either side of a vertical hole 92 of the soleplate, complementary to the upper portion 42a for positioning the column 34a.
La semelle 90 est fixée à la platine 78 par l'intermédiaire de quatre colonnes verticale 79 entre lesquelles sont montés coulissants les doigts 82, 84, 86, 88.  The sole 90 is fixed to the plate 78 by means of four vertical columns 79 between which are slidably mounted the fingers 82, 84, 86, 88.
Comme l'illustrent les figures 5 et 6, les doigts 82, 84, 86, As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fingers 82, 84, 86,
88 coulissants de chaque paire de doigts 82, 84 et 86, 88 du moyen d'actionnement 74 comportent des touches inférieures d'actionnement 94, 95 du plateau et des extrémités supérieures 96, 97 qui sont susceptibles d'être sollicitées verticalement par des parties d'appui 98, 99 correspondantes d'un levier 100, 101 associé qui est articulé sur la semelle 90 autour d'un axe 102 ou 103 parallèle à l'axe associé C ou D de pivotement du plateau du pied 16a, 16b de support, lesdites parties d'appui 98, 99 étant agencées de part et d'autre de l'axe 102, 103 d'articulation du levier 100, 101, et une extrémité libre 104, 105 de manoeuvre du levier 100, 101 étant susceptible d'être mue verticalement pour actionner en basculement ledit levier 100, 101. 88 sliding of each pair of fingers 82, 84 and 86, 88 of the actuating means 74 comprise lower actuating keys 94, 95 of the plate and upper ends 96, 97 which can be solicited vertically by corresponding bearing portions 98, 99 of a lever 100, 101 associated which is articulated on the sole 90 about an axis 102 or 103 parallel to the associated axis C or D of pivoting of the foot plate 16a, 16b of support, said support portions 98, 99 being arranged on either side of the axis 102, 103 of articulation of the lever 100, 101, and a free end 104, 105 for actuating the lever 100, 101 being capable of being moved vertically to actuate tilting said lever 100, 101.
Par exemple, de manière non limitative de l'invention, les extrémités supérieures 96, 97 sont conformées en chapeaux de bielle et les parties d'appui correspondantes 98, 99 consistent en des axes traversant lesdits chapeaux de bielle 96, 97.  For example, in a nonlimiting manner of the invention, the upper ends 96, 97 are shaped as connecting rod caps and the corresponding bearing portions 98, 99 consist of axes passing through said connecting rod caps 96, 97.
De préférence, le moyen d'actionnement 74 comporte deux vérins 106, 107 d'axe verticaux dont chacun comporte une extrémité fixe 108, 109 liée à la platine et une extrémité mobile 110, 111 liée à l'extrémité de manoeuvre d'un des leviers.  Preferably, the actuating means 74 comprises two cylinders 106, 107 of vertical axis each having a fixed end 108, 109 connected to the plate and a movable end 110, 111 connected to the operating end of one of the levers.
Enfin, comme l'illustrent les figures 1 et 3, on comprendra que la platine 76 est fixée à l'extrémité de la tige 112 d'un vérin 114 dont le corps 116 est fixé sur la potence 82, ladite tige étant mobile entre une position étendue associée à la position basse de la platine, comme représenté à la figure 3, et une position rétractée associée à la position haute de la platine, comme représenté à la figure 1.  Finally, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, it will be understood that the plate 76 is fixed to the end of the rod 112 of a cylinder 114 whose body 116 is fixed on the bracket 82, said rod being movable between a extended position associated with the low position of the plate, as shown in Figure 3, and a retracted position associated with the high position of the plate, as shown in Figure 1.
L'invention propose donc une structure permettant de vérifier le bon fonctionnement d'un pied de support préalablement à son utilisation.  The invention therefore provides a structure for verifying the proper operation of a support leg prior to its use.
