Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dashboard of a motor vehicle for facilitating the mounting of a meter housing.
- the dashboards include an inner housing adapted to receive the meter and a cap forming the outer upper wall of the dashboards.
- a transverse opening, generally oblong, is formed in the cap so as to observe the meter through this opening.
- the dashboards also include a visor integral with the cap and intended to extend overhanging the transverse opening. The visor reduces the brightness ahead of the meter for a more distinct reading.
- the one-piece visor is removably mounted on the cap and has an upper portion and two opposing side portions.
- the transverse opening has two opposite lateral ends and the opposite side portions of the visor respectively cover at least partially the two opposite lateral ends.
- the meter which comprises a longitudinal housing and fastening tabs installed at each of its lateral ends, can be installed in the inner housing through the transverse opening, before the visor is mounted on the cap. It is then held in a fixed position by means of the fixing lugs. Then, the visor is mounted while the two side portions of the visor cover the two lateral ends of the transverse opening and thus hide the tabs of the counter.
- a problem that arises and that aims to solve the present invention is to provide ir a dashboard conferring to the cockpit a feeling of robustness while allowing to install a meter of the aforementioned type.
- the present invention proposes a dashboard of a motor vehicle comprising an inner housing adapted to receive a counter and a cap having a transverse opening, said cap being intended to cover said housing so as to be able to visualize said counter through said transverse opening, said counter comprising a casing extending transversely and fixing tabs mounted at each of the lateral ends of said casing, said transverse opening having two opposite lateral ends, said dashboard further comprising a visor integral with said cap, said visor comprising an upper portion extending overlying said transverse opening and two opposite side portions of each other intended to respectively cover said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening.
- said upper part of said visor and said cap are formed together in one piece, while said two opposite side parts are removably mounted to be able to release said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening when said two opposite side parts are disassembled; and said counter is adapted to be carried through said transverse opening by respectively engaging said fasteners simultaneously through said two opposite lateral ends to be able to install said counter within said inner housing.
- a feature of the invention lies in the implementation of a visor whose upper part forms a single piece with the cap and whose two opposite side parts, on each side of the upper part, are removable.
- said dashboard offers a greater feeling of robustness.
- said cap and said upper visor portion form two lateral notches, on each side of the upper part, allowing the engagement of said fastening tabs through said two opposite lateral ends. The two side parts opposite then come then engage in a complementary manner in the lateral notches, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the visor side parts are removed to leave free the side notches.
- These two lateral notches, on each side of the upper visor portion extend facing the two opposite lateral ends of the transverse opening, also, when the meter is carried through the transverse opening, the fixing lugs can be simultaneously engaged respectively through the notches and the opposite lateral ends of the opening to then install the meter inside the inner housing.
- the meter housing includes for example two brackets at each end of the housing, which tabs are screwed into the dashboard to maintain the meter in a fixed position.
- said two opposite side portions comprise two outer side seals, which are intended not only to cover the two opposite lateral ends of the opening, but also to form a continuous surface between the visor upper part and the cap.
- said visor has an outer wall opposite to an inner wall and said visor further comprises a removable inner liner intended to be mounted facing said inner wall.
- the removable inner liner mounted opposite and at a distance from the inner visor wall, gives the latter a relative thickness giving it an impression of robustness.
- said inner liner is advantageously formed in one piece which extends longitudinally from one side visor part to the other and facing the inner wall of said visor upper part.
- the internal lining also extends in depth to come to bear against the housing of the meter and thus close the transverse opening.
- the ite visor has a flange oriented towards said opening, and said inner liner bears against said flange. The flange, curved towards said opening, closes the space between the visor and the internal lining and forms the free and visible portion of the visor. This apparent slice corresponds to the thickness of the visor and gives it the impression of robustness.
- the dashboard further comprises a removable lower lining forming strip and having two opposed projecting portions intended respectively to join said two opposite side portions to cover said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening.
- the lower liner also bears against the housing and it allows to close a portion of the transverse opening.
- the object of the invention makes it possible to set up the meter easily.
- FIG. 1 is a partial schematic top view of an element of a dashboard according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial schematic front view of the dashboard according to the invention, in a first phase of assembly
- FIG. 3 is a partial schematic view of the dashboard shown in Figure 2, in a second phase of assembly;
- FIG. 4 is a partial schematic view of the dashboard shown in Figure 3, in a third final phase of assembly.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view of the dashboard as shown in Figure 4 along the plane V-V.
- FIG. 1 illustrates, in plan view and partially, a single part comprising a first portion capable of forming a cap 10 and a second portion intended to form a visor 12 and to be installed opposite the driver's seat of a motor vehicle.
- the cap 10 and the visor 12 are for example molded together in one piece of plastic material.
- the visor 12 has an upper portion 14 forming with the cap 10, on each side of the upper portion 14, two opposite lateral notches 16, 18.
- the cap 10 defines behind the visor 12 and at a plane P, substantially perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, an oblong transverse opening 15.
- the visor 12 has an inner wall 13 opposite to an outer wall 17.
- FIG. 2 the cap 10 and the visor 12 in front view.
- the upper part 14 of the visor 12 extends in an arc above the transverse opening 15.
- the cap 10 is installed on a dashboard body 19 so as to form together an instrument panel 20.
- FIG. 2 also illustrates a counter 26 comprising a housing 28 equipped, for example, with a tachometer 30 and an odometer 32.
- the counter 26 has two pairs of fixing lugs 34, 36 opposite one of the other and respectively located at both ends of the housing 28.
- the counter 26 is in Figure 2, located across the oblong transverse opening 15, in an inclined position corresponding to a first phase of assembly, the pairs of legs of 34, 36 being respectively engaged through the two opposite lateral ends 22, 24 and also through the two opposite lateral notches 16, 18.
- the upper portion 14 of the visor 12 has an inner rim 35 curved towards the transverse opening 15 and which extends between two attachment ends 37, 39.
- the housing 26 may contain the housing 28 substantially vertically by presenting it opposite the oblong transverse opening 15 and tilting it forward first so as to passing it under the inner rim 35 of the upper visor portion 12. Then by driving it towards the transverse opening 15, the fixing lugs 34, 36 are engaged through the opposite lateral indentations 16, 18 and then through the opposite lateral ends 22, 24 of the transverse opening 15.
- the housing 28 is pivotally driven about a horizontal axis so as to bring it back in a direction close to the vertical direction while supporting the pairs fastening tabs 34, 36 respectively against the pairs of support members 38, 40.
- the counter 26 is then in its final position as illustrated in FIG. 3 through the oblong transverse opening 15, and the pairs of fastening tabs 34, 36 appear through the opposite lateral ends 22, 24 and also through the notches 16, 18.
- These pairs of fastening tabs 34, 36 are respectively secured to the pairs of support members 38, 40, for example by means of rivets 42.
