Description

VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE EQUIPE D'UN TOIT ESCAMOTABLE  MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A RETRACTABLE ROOF
La présente invention se rapporte à un véhicule automobile équipé d'un toit escamotable. The present invention relates to a motor vehicle equipped with a retractable roof.
Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un véhicule équipé d'un toit escamotable comprenant un panneau avant, notamment du type pavillon de toit, et un panneau arrière, notamment du type lunette arrière, où les deux panneaux sont déplaçables entre une position déployée de couverture de l'habitacle du véhicule et une position escamotée, par exemple à l'intérieur d'un compartiment de coffre.  It relates more particularly to a vehicle equipped with a retractable roof comprising a front panel, including roof type roof, and a rear panel, including the rear window type, where the two panels are movable between a deployed position of cover of the passenger compartment and a retracted position, for example inside a trunk compartment.
De manière classique, le pavillon de toit constitue le panneau avant rigide du toit disposé essentiellement au-dessus de la tête des passagers de l'habitacle et dans un plan sensiblement horizontal, tandis que la lunette arrière constitue le panneau arrière rigide du toit disposé derrière les passagers de l'habitacle, sensiblement dans un plan vertical ou incliné et transversal au véhicule.  Conventionally, the roof pavilion constitutes the rigid front panel of the roof disposed substantially above the head of the passengers of the passenger compartment and in a substantially horizontal plane, while the rear window constitutes the rigid rear panel of the roof arranged behind passengers in the passenger compartment, substantially in a vertical or inclined plane and transverse to the vehicle.
Il est connu, notamment du document FR 2 892 365 A1 , que le pavillon et la lunette arrière soient articulés l'un par rapport à l'autre et repliables l'un sur l'autre dans le compartiment du coffre situé à l'arrière du véhicule.  It is known, particularly from FR 2 892 365 A1, that the roof and the rear window are hinged relative to one another and foldable one over the other in the trunk compartment located at the rear of the vehicle.
Avec ce type de toit escamotable, les arceaux latéraux de structure du véhicule sont intégrés directement sur le pavillon et la lunette arrière du toit escamotable. Ainsi, chaque arceau latéral présente une portion supérieure solidaire du pavillon et une portion inférieure solidaire de la lunette arrière, ces deux portions d'arceau étant articulées l'une à l'autre tout comme le pavillon et la lunette arrière. La portion supérieure, respectivement inférieure, d'un arceau latéral se présente sous la forme d'un rebord latéral rabattu verticalement du pavillon, respectivement de la lunette arrière, et qui épouse en position escamotée le contour supérieur de la vitre latérale de la portière concernée, respectivement la vitre latérale de custode concernée.  With this type of retractable roof, the side bows of vehicle structure are integrated directly on the roof and the rear window of the retractable roof. Thus, each side hoop has an upper portion secured to the roof and a lower portion secured to the rear window, these two hoop portions being hinged to each other as the roof and the rear window. The upper portion, respectively lower, of a lateral hoop is in the form of a lateral flange folded vertically from the roof, respectively from the rear window, and which marries in retracted position the upper contour of the side window of the door concerned , respectively the side window of quarter custodian concerned.
Dans la position déployée, ces arceaux latéraux rigidifient la structure de toit du véhicule et, dans la position escamotée, ces arceaux latéraux sont escamotés dans le compartiment du coffre arrière.  In the deployed position, these side arches stiffen the roof structure of the vehicle and, in the retracted position, these side arches are retracted into the trunk compartment.
Ce type de toit escamotable présente un inconvénient en termes de sécurité car, dans la position escamotée, les arceaux latéraux sont escamotés à l'intérieur du coffre arrière et, en conséquence, ne participent plus à la protection de l'habitacle, notamment en cas de choc latéral sur le véhicule. This type of retractable roof has a disadvantage in terms of safety because, in the retracted position, the side arches are retracted inside the trunk and, consequently, no longer participate in the protection of the passenger compartment, especially in the event of a side impact on the vehicle.
En outre, du fait de l'intégration des arceaux latéraux sur le pavillon et la lunette du toit escamotable, ce toit escamotable présente un grand encombrement transversal, autrement une grande largeur, ce qui pose des difficultés pour escamoter ce toit dans le compartiment du coffre arrière.  In addition, because of the integration of the side arches on the roof and the bezel of the retractable roof, the retractable roof has a large transverse size, otherwise a large width, which poses difficulties to retract this roof in the trunk compartment back.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre en tout ou partie ces inconvénients en proposant un véhicule équipé d'un toit escamotable qui conserve ses qualités structurelles et de sécurité, que le toit soit escamoté ou déployé.  The present invention aims to solve all or part of these disadvantages by providing a vehicle with a retractable roof that retains its structural and safety qualities, whether the roof is retracted or deployed.
A cet effet, elle propose un véhicule automobile, notamment de type coupé-cabriolet, comprenant un toit escamotable pourvu de deux panneaux rigides, respectivement avant et arrière, présentant chacun un bord avant et un bord arrière, ainsi qu'une face interne et une face externe, où le bord avant du panneau arrière et le bord arrière du panneau avant sont montés rotatifs l'un par rapport à l'autre autour d'un premier axe de rotation, et où le bord arrière du panneau arrière est monté à rotation sur la structure du véhicule autour d'un second axe de rotation, les deux panneaux du toit étant déplaçables entre :  For this purpose, it proposes a motor vehicle, particularly coupe-cabriolet, comprising a retractable roof provided with two rigid panels, front and rear, each having a front edge and a rear edge, and an inner face and a outer face, where the front edge of the rear panel and the rear edge of the front panel are rotatably mounted relative to each other about a first axis of rotation, and wherein the rear edge of the rear panel is rotatably mounted on the structure of the vehicle around a second axis of rotation, the two roof panels being movable between:
- une position déployée de couverture de l'habitacle du véhicule dans laquelle les panneaux présentent leurs faces internes respectives en regard de l'habitacle ; et - A deployed position of cover of the passenger compartment of the vehicle in which the panels have their respective internal faces facing the passenger compartment; and
- une position escamotée dans laquelle les deux panneaux sont pliés l'un sur l'autre avec leurs faces internes respectives en regard l'une de l'autre ;  a retracted position in which the two panels are folded one on the other with their respective internal faces facing each other;
ce véhicule étant remarquable en ce qu'il comprend en outre deux arceaux latéraux fixes de structure qui encadrent les panneaux dans la position déployée du toit, lesdits arceaux comprenant des moyens de guidage en coulissement le long des arceaux du bord avant du panneau avant. this vehicle being remarkable in that it further comprises two fixed lateral arches of structure which frame the panels in the deployed position of the roof, said arches comprising sliding guide means along the arches of the front edge of the front panel.
Ainsi, les arceaux du véhicule sont fixes et ne s'escamotent pas avec le toit, et ces arceaux assurent le guidage du panneau avant afin d'en faciliter l'escamotage et le déploiement.  Thus, the hoops of the vehicle are fixed and do not retract with the roof, and these hoops provide guidance of the front panel to facilitate retraction and deployment.
Selon une caractéristique, le véhicule comprend en outre des moyens d'entraînement en rotation du panneau arrière autour du second axe de rotation, lesdits moyens d'entraînement étant conçus pour, à partir de la position déployée, entraîner en rotation le panneau arrière autour du second axe de rotation de sorte que les deux panneaux se replient l'un sur l'autre par pivotement relatif des deux panneaux autour du premier axe de rotation concomitamment au coulissement du bord avant du panneau avant sur les arceaux latéraux, ou inversement. According to one characteristic, the vehicle further comprises means for rotating the rear panel about the second axis of rotation, said drive means being designed to, from the deployed position, rotate the rear panel around the second axis of rotation so that the two panels fold over each other by relative pivoting of the two panels around the first axis of rotation concomitantly with the sliding of the front edge of the front panel on the side arches, or vice versa.
Selon une autre caractéristique, les moyens de guidage comportent des rails de guidage fixés sur les arceaux respectifs et sur lesquels le bord avant du panneau avant est monté à coulissement.  According to another characteristic, the guide means comprise guide rails fixed on the respective arches and on which the front edge of the front panel is slidably mounted.
Dans une réalisation particulière, en position escamotée, les deux panneaux sont pliés l'un sur l'autre derrière les arceaux.  In a particular embodiment, in the retracted position, the two panels are folded one over the other behind the arches.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, en position escamotée, les deux panneaux sont pliés l'un sur l'autre au-dessus d'un panneau d'un coffre arrière.  According to a first embodiment, in the retracted position, the two panels are folded one over the other above a panel of a trunk.
Selon un second mode de réalisation, en position escamotée, les deux panneaux sont pliés l'un sur l'autre à l'intérieur d'un compartiment d'un coffre arrière.  According to a second embodiment, in the retracted position, the two panels are folded one on the other inside a compartment of a trunk.
Dans ce cas, il est avantageux que le coffre arrière comporte : In this case, it is advantageous that the rear trunk comprises:
- un ouvrant mobile entre une position fermée interdisant l'accès au compartiment du coffre et une position ouverte permettant l'accès au compartiment du coffre, ledit ouvrant présentant un panneau supérieur dans lequel est pratiquée une ouverture ; et - A movable door between a closed position prohibiting access to the trunk compartment and an open position allowing access to the trunk compartment, said opening having an upper panel in which is formed an opening; and
- un volet articulé sur le panneau supérieur de l'ouvrant et mobile entre une position fermée dans laquelle ledit volet occulte l'ouverture et une position ouverte permettant aux panneaux du toit d'accéder au compartiment du coffre à travers ladite ouverture. - A hinged flap on the upper panel of the opening and movable between a closed position in which said flap obscures the opening and an open position allowing the roof panels to access the trunk compartment through said opening.
Selon une possibilité de l'invention, le panneau arrière constitue une lunette arrière, présentant de préférence une partie vitrée, disposée en position déployée essentiellement derrière les sièges des passagers de l'habitacle.  According to a possibility of the invention, the rear panel is a rear window, preferably having a glazed portion disposed in the deployed position substantially behind the passenger seats of the passenger compartment.
Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, le panneau avant constitue un pavillon du toit disposé en position déployée essentiellement au- dessus des sièges des passagers de l'habitacle.  According to another possibility of the invention, the front panel is a roof lodge disposed in the deployed position substantially above the passenger seats of the passenger compartment.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-après, de deux exemples de mise en œuvre non limitatifs, faite en référence aux figures annexées dans lesquelles :  Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the following detailed description of two nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended figures in which:
- les figures 1 à 3 sont des vues schématiques en perspective arrière d'un véhicule conforme à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention et comprenant un toit escamotable illustré respectivement dans une position déployée, une position intermédiaire et une position escamotée ; - Figures 1 to 3 are schematic rear perspective views of a vehicle according to a first embodiment of the invention and comprising a retractable roof shown respectively in an extended position, an intermediate position and a retracted position;
- les figures 4 à 6 sont des vues schématiques en perspective arrière d'un véhicule conforme à un second mode de réalisation de l'invention et comprenant un toit escamotable illustré respectivement dans une position déployée, une position intermédiaire et une position escamotée.  - Figures 4 to 6 are schematic rear perspective views of a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the invention and comprising a retractable roof respectively illustrated in an extended position, an intermediate position and a retracted position.
Un véhicule équipé d'un toit 1 escamotable conforme à l'invention est illustré sur les figures 1 à 3 pour un premier mode de réalisation, et sur les figures 4 à 6 pour un second mode de réalisation. Pour la suite de la description, les mêmes références numériques seront employées pour décrire les mêmes éléments constitutifs du véhicule.  A vehicle equipped with a roof 1 retractable according to the invention is illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 for a first embodiment, and in Figures 4 to 6 for a second embodiment. For the rest of the description, the same numerical references will be used to describe the same constituent elements of the vehicle.
Le toit 1 escamotable comporte un panneau avant 2 formant le pavillon de toit et un panneau arrière 3 formant la lunette arrière.  The retractable roof 1 has a front panel 2 forming the roof and a rear panel 3 forming the rear window.
Le pavillon 2 est constitué d'une pièce rigide comportant un corps sensiblement plan et rectangulaire, formée notamment par emboutissage d'une tôle métallique, et conçue pour s'étendre sensiblement horizontalement au- dessus de l'habitacle du véhicule dans la position déployée du toit 1 , comme illustré sur les figures 1 et 4. Ce pavillon 2 peut également intégrer une partie vitrée.  The roof 2 consists of a rigid part comprising a substantially planar and rectangular body, formed in particular by stamping a metal sheet, and designed to extend substantially horizontally above the passenger compartment of the vehicle in the extended position of the roof 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 4. This flag 2 can also integrate a glazed portion.
Le pavillon 2 présente deux bords transversaux opposés, respectivement avant 21 et arrière 22, ainsi que deux faces sensiblement planes et horizontales dans la position déployée et la position escamotée, respectivement une face interne et une face externe ; la face interne s'étendant en regard de l'habitacle dans la position déployée.  The flag 2 has two opposite transverse edges, respectively front 21 and rear 22, and two substantially flat and horizontal faces in the deployed position and the retracted position, respectively an inner face and an outer face; the inner face extending opposite the passenger compartment in the deployed position.
La lunette arrière 3 est constituée d'un cadre 30 sensiblement plan et d'une vitre arrière 31 bordée par ledit cadre 30. Le cadre 30 constitue une pièce rigide formée notamment par emboutissage d'une tôle métallique. Cette lunette arrière 3 peut en variante ne pas intégrer de vitre.  The rear window 3 consists of a substantially flat frame 30 and a rear window 31 bordered by said frame 30. The frame 30 is a rigid part formed in particular by stamping a metal sheet. This rear window 3 may alternatively not include glass.
La lunette arrière 3 présente deux bords transversaux opposés, respectivement avant 32 et arrière 33, ainsi que deux faces sensiblement planes et horizontales dans la position escamotée, respectivement une face interne et une face externe ; la face interne s'étendant en regard de l'habitacle dans la position déployée.  The rear window 3 has two opposite transverse edges, respectively front 32 and rear 33, and two substantially flat and horizontal faces in the retracted position, respectively an inner face and an outer face; the inner face extending opposite the passenger compartment in the deployed position.
Le pavillon 2 et la lunette arrière 3 sont articulés entre eux autour d'un premier axe de rotation A commun sensiblement horizontal et transversal au véhicule. En effet, le bord avant 32 de la lunette arrière 3 et le bord arrière 22 du pavillon 2 sont montés rotatifs l'un par rapport à l'autre autour de ce premier axe de rotation A défini à la jonction entre ces deux bords 22, 32. The roof 2 and the rear window 3 are hinged together around a first axis of rotation A substantially horizontal and transverse common to the vehicle. Indeed, the front edge 32 of the rear window 3 and the rear edge 22 of the roof 2 are rotatably mounted relative to each other about this first axis of rotation A defined at the junction between these two edges 22, 32.
La lunette arrière 3 est montée à rotation sur la structure du véhicule autour d'un second axe de rotation B sensiblement horizontal et transversal au véhicule, parallèle au premier axe de rotation A. En effet, le bord arrière 33 de la lunette arrière 3 est monté à rotation sur la structure du véhicule autour de ce second axe de rotation B.  The rear window 3 is rotatably mounted on the vehicle structure around a second axis of rotation B substantially horizontal and transverse to the vehicle, parallel to the first axis of rotation A. Indeed, the rear edge 33 of the rear window 3 is rotatably mounted on the vehicle structure about this second axis of rotation B.
Le pavillon 2 est guidé en coulissement sur deux arceaux 4 latéraux, respectivement droite et gauche, fixes de structure du véhicule. En effet, le bord avant 21 du pavillon 2 est monté à coulissement dans des rails de guidage 40 fixés sur les arceaux 4 respectifs. Les arceaux 4 s'étendent dans des plans longitudinaux et verticaux du véhicule et présentent chacun une forme d'arche qui borde le toit 1 lorsque ce dernier est en position déployée. Ces arceaux 4 constituent des éléments de structure rigides qui épousent les contours de la vitre 51 de la portière latérale avant 5, ainsi que la vitre de custode arrière 52.  The flag 2 is guided in sliding on two lateral arches 4, respectively right and left, fixed structure of the vehicle. Indeed, the front edge 21 of the horn 2 is slidably mounted in guide rails 40 fixed to the respective arches 4. The arches 4 extend in longitudinal and vertical planes of the vehicle and each have an arch shape which borders the roof 1 when the latter is in the deployed position. These arches 4 constitute rigid structural elements which follow the contours of the window 51 of the front side door 5, as well as the rear quarter window 52.
Dans la position escamotée du toit 1 , le pavillon 2 et la lunette arrière 3 sont pliés l'un sur l'autre avec leurs faces internes respectives en regard l'une de l'autre, derrière les arceaux 4.  In the retracted position of the roof 1, the roof 2 and the rear window 3 are folded one on the other with their respective internal faces facing one another, behind the arches 4.
Pour réaliser l'escamotage/déploiement du toit 1 , ce dernier comprend en outre des moyens d'entraînement en rotation de la lunette arrière 3 autour du second axe de rotation B. Ces moyens d'entraînement peuvent être automatisés, par exemple en employant un moteur électrique rotatif, ou manuels.  To achieve the retraction / deployment of the roof 1, the latter further comprises means for rotating the rear window 3 about the second axis of rotation B. These driving means can be automated, for example by using a rotary electric motor, or manuals.
Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, le pavillon 2 et la lunette arrière 3 sont pliés l'un sur l'autre, en position escamotée, au-dessus d'un panneau 61 d'un coffre 6 arrière.  In the first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the roof 2 and the rear window 3 are folded one over the other, in the retracted position, above a panel 61 of a rear trunk 6 .
Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le véhicule comprend en partie arrière le coffre 6 qui est équipé d'un ouvrant 60 mobile entre une position fermée (visible sur les figures 1 à 3) interdisant l'accès au compartiment du coffre 6 et une position ouverte (non illustrée) permettant l'accès au compartiment du coffre 6. Cet ouvrant 60 présente un panneau supérieur 61 sur lequel vient se positionner le toit 1 en position escamotée. Cet ouvrant 60 est apte à basculer vers le haut et l'avant du véhicule pour permettre l'accès au compartiment par l'arrière du véhicule. Dans le second mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 4 à 6, le pavillon 2 et la lunette arrière 3 sont pliés l'un sur l'autre, en position escamotée, à l'intérieur d'un compartiment 70 d'un coffre arrière 7. In this first embodiment, the vehicle comprises at the rear of the trunk 6 which is equipped with an opening 60 movable between a closed position (visible in Figures 1 to 3) prohibiting access to the trunk compartment 6 and a position open (not shown) allowing access to the trunk compartment 6. This opening 60 has an upper panel 61 on which is positioned the roof 1 in the retracted position. This opening 60 is adapted to tilt upwards and the front of the vehicle to allow access to the compartment from the rear of the vehicle. In the second embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 to 6, the roof 2 and the rear window 3 are folded one on the other, in the retracted position, inside a compartment 70 of a trunk 7.
Dans ce second mode de réalisation, le véhicule comprend en partie arrière le coffre 7 qui comporte un ouvrant 71 mobile entre une position fermée (visible sur les figures 4 à 6) interdisant l'accès au compartiment 70 du coffre 7 et une position ouverte (non illustrée) permettant l'accès au compartiment 70 du coffre 7, cet ouvrant 71 présentant un panneau supérieur 72 sensiblement horizontal dans lequel est pratiquée une ouverture 73. Cet ouvrant 70 est apte à basculer vers le haut et l'avant du véhicule pour permettre l'accès au compartiment par l'arrière du véhicule.  In this second embodiment, the vehicle comprises at the rear of the trunk 7 which comprises an opening 71 movable between a closed position (visible in Figures 4 to 6) prohibiting access to the compartment 70 of the trunk 7 and an open position ( not shown) allowing access to the compartment 70 of the trunk 7, this opening 71 having a substantially horizontal upper panel 72 in which is formed an opening 73. This opening 70 is adapted to tilt upwards and the front of the vehicle to allow access to the compartment from the rear of the vehicle.
Dans ce second mode de réalisation, le coffre 7 comporte en outre un volet 74 articulé sur le panneau supérieur 72 de l'ouvrant 71 et mobile entre In this second embodiment, the trunk 7 further comprises a flap 74 articulated on the upper panel 72 of the opening 71 and movable between
- une position fermée (visible sur les figures 4 et 6) dans laquelle le volet 74 occulte l'ouverture 71 et recouvre le compartiment 70 ; et a closed position (visible in FIGS. 4 and 6) in which the flap 74 conceals the opening 71 and covers the compartment 70; and
- une position ouverte (visible sur la figure 5) permettant au toit 1 d'accéder au compartiment 70 du coffre 7 à travers l'ouverture 73, afin de permettre l'escamotage du toit 1 entre la position déployée et la position escamotée à l'intérieur du coffre 7, autrement dit dans le compartiment 70.  an open position (visible in FIG. 5) allowing the roof 1 to access the compartment 70 of the trunk 7 through the opening 73, in order to allow the retraction of the roof 1 between the deployed position and the retracted position at the inside the trunk 7, in other words in the compartment 70.
Le volet 74 forme ainsi une trappe articulée sur le panneau supérieur 72 de l'ouvrant 70 pour fermer l'ouverture 73 pratiquée à l'avant du coffre 7 ; ouverture70 par laquelle passe le toit 1 escamotable pour entrer ou sortir du compartiment 70. L'ouverture du volet 74 s'effectue par un pivotement ou basculement vers le haut et l'arrière du véhicule.  The shutter 74 thus forms a hinged door on the upper panel 72 of the opening 70 to close the opening 73 made in the front of the box 7; opening70 through which the roof 1 retractable to enter or leave the compartment 70. The opening of the flap 74 is performed by pivoting or tilting upwards and back of the vehicle.
L'escamotage du toit 1 est décrit ci-dessous, le déploiement dudit toit 1 reprenant sensiblement les mêmes étapes mais dans le sens inverse.  The retraction of the roof 1 is described below, the deployment of said roof 1 taking substantially the same steps but in the opposite direction.
Dans la configuration représentée en figure 1 et 4, le toit 1 est en position déployée et le véhicule est ainsi complètement fermé.  In the configuration shown in Figures 1 and 4, the roof 1 is in the deployed position and the vehicle is thus completely closed.
Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite ouvrir le véhicule, c'est-à-dire disposer le véhicule en configuration cabriolet, et ainsi escamoter le toit 1 , il commande les moyens d'entraînement en rotation de la lunette arrière 3 afin de la faire pivoter vers l'arrière du véhicule. Ce pivotement motorisé entraîne en rotation la lunette arrière 3 autour du second axe de rotation B et, de manière concomitante, le pavillon 2 et la lunette arrière 3 se replient l'un sur l'autre par pivotement relatif de ces deux éléments autour du premier axe de rotation A et par coulissement du bord avant 21 du pavillon 2 le long des rails de guidage 40 des arceaux 4. When the user wishes to open the vehicle, that is to say arrange the vehicle in a convertible configuration, and thus retract the roof 1, it controls the rotating drive means of the rear window 3 to rotate it to the rear of the vehicle. This motorized pivoting rotates the rear window 3 about the second axis of rotation B and, concomitantly, the roof 2 and the rear window 3 fold over one another by relative pivoting of these two elements around the first axis of rotation A and sliding of the front edge 21 of the roof 2 along the guide rails 40 of the arches 4.
Dans le premier mode de réalisation, aucune autre étape n'est nécessaire car, à la fin de l'escamotage, le toit 1 vient se positionner de manière sensiblement horizontale au-dessus du panneau 61 de l'ouvrant 60 du coffre 6.  In the first embodiment, no other step is necessary because, at the end of the retraction, the roof 1 is positioned substantially horizontally above the panel 61 of the opening 60 of the trunk 6.
Dans le second mode de réalisation, il est nécessaire d'ouvrir au préalable le volet 74 du coffre 7 afin que le toit 1 puisse accéder au compartiment 70 du coffre 7.  In the second embodiment, it is necessary to open in advance the flap 74 of the trunk 7 so that the roof 1 can access the compartment 70 of the trunk 7.
Bien entendu l'exemple de mise en œuvre évoqué ci-dessus ne présente aucun caractère limitatif et d'autres améliorations et détails peuvent être apportés au véhicule selon l'invention, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention où d'autres formes de pavillon et/ou de lunette arrière peuvent être réalisées.  Of course the implementation example mentioned above is not limiting and other improvements and details can be made to the vehicle according to the invention, without departing from the scope of the invention where other forms roof and / or rear window can be realized.
