Description

D I S POS ITI F D E S U P PO RT PO U R CHARG ES LON G U ES.  D I S POS ITI F E S U P PO R T IN G O R T IN G O L.
La présente invention concerne de manière générale un dispositif de support pour des charges longues monté dans un véhicule automobile, et plus précisément monté sur un plafond de véhicule automobile. The present invention generally relates to a support device for long loads mounted in a motor vehicle, and more specifically mounted on a ceiling of a motor vehicle.
De nos jours, afin de transporter des charges longues, les véhicules automobiles ne disposant pas d'un espace de stockage arrière conséquent, sont généralement dotés de dispositifs de rangement disposés sur le toit. La plupart de ces dispositifs sont agencés pour se fixer au toit comme par exemple, des porte-skis ou des grilles de support. Cependant, ces dispositifs ne sont pas faciles à utiliser du fait de leur situation en hauteur, et peuvent parfois se révéler dangereux si les charges ne sont pas bien fixées. Il existe également des possibilités de stocker des charges longues dans le coffre, par exemple en rabattant un siège de la banquette arrière, cependant cela implique une réduction du nombre de places dans le véhicule. Il a donc été nécessaire de trouver un moyen de stockage de charges longues qui permet de stocker des charges longues de manière aisée et sans réduire l'espace disponible dans le coffre et ni le nombre de places assises à l'arrière, ou même à l'avant, du véhicule.  Today, in order to transport long loads, motor vehicles that do not have a large rear storage space, are generally equipped with storage devices arranged on the roof. Most of these devices are arranged to attach to the roof such as, for example, ski racks or support grids. However, these devices are not easy to use because of their height, and can sometimes be dangerous if the loads are not well fixed. There are also possibilities to store long loads in the trunk, for example by folding a seat in the back seat, however this implies a reduction in the number of seats in the vehicle. It has therefore been necessary to find a means of storing long loads which makes it possible to store long loads easily and without reducing the space available in the trunk and the number of seats at the rear, or even at the rear. 'front of the vehicle.
Comme mentionné ci-dessous, il est connu dans l'art antérieur des dispositifs de stockage de charges longues répondant aux inconvénients soulevés plus haut. Plus particulièrement, le document DE 102008048656 décrit un équipement en toile installé au plafond pour pouvoir y ranger des affaires. Ce dispositif n'est cependant pas robuste et compliqué à mettre en place. Par ailleurs, il ne présente aucune modularité. Il est donc nécessaire de fournir un dispositif de support pour des charges longues qui serait plus facile à utiliser.  As mentioned below, there is known in the prior art long charge storage devices responding to the disadvantages mentioned above. More particularly, DE 102008048656 discloses a ceiling cloth equipment for storing business. This device is however not robust and complicated to set up. Moreover, it presents no modularity. It is therefore necessary to provide a support device for long loads that would be easier to use.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de répondre aux inconvénients du document de l'art antérieur mentionné ci-dessus et en particulier, de prévoir un dispositif de support pour des charges longues facile à utiliser. An object of the present invention is therefore to meet the disadvantages of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular to provide a support device for long loads easy to use.
Pour cela un premier aspect de l'invention concerne un dispositif de support de charge pour un habitacle de véhicule automobile, comprenant : - au moins un moyen de support agencé pour supporter une charge, For this purpose, a first aspect of the invention relates to a load support device for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, comprising: at least one support means arranged to support a load,
- au moins un moyen d'attache réversible fixé au dit au moins un moyen de support et agencé pour attacher ledit moyen de support à un plafond de l'habitacle du véhicule automobile,  at least one reversible fastening means fastened to said at least one support means and arranged for attaching said support means to a ceiling of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle,

Le dispositif selon la présente invention est aisé à utiliser et modulable, car on peut positionner facilement où il faut le moyen de support via son moyen d'attache, en fonction des charges à transporter. Il est à noter que le moyen d'attache est réversible, c'est-à-dire qu'il est amovible par rapport au rail, et on peut le démonter facilement lorsqu'il n'y a pas de charges à transporter. Un tel rail selon l'invention n'est pas très encombrant et ne gêne pas les occupants, surtout s'il est agencé au plafond. characterized in that the load-supporting device further comprises at least one rail arranged to be fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle, and in that said at least one attachment means comprises at least one shoe arranged to mate with said at least one rail in at least two different positions in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The device according to the present invention is easy to use and flexible, because it can easily position where the support means is required via its attachment means, depending on the loads to be transported. It should be noted that the attachment means is reversible, that is to say it is removable relative to the rail, and can be easily dismounted when there are no loads to transport. Such a rail according to the invention is not very bulky and does not bother the occupants, especially if it is arranged on the ceiling.
Avantageusement, le moyen de support comprend au moins une barre escamotable agencée pour être déplacée entre une position d'utilisation, de préférence selon une direction transversale au véhicule, et une position escamotée. L'encombrement est encore réduit, et la modularité accrue, on peut se servir seulement d'une partie des barres si plusieurs sont prévues dans le dispositif.  Advantageously, the support means comprises at least one retractable bar arranged to be moved between a position of use, preferably in a direction transverse to the vehicle, and a retracted position. The size is further reduced, and increased modularity, we can use only a portion of the bars if several are provided in the device.
Avantageusement, ladite au moins une barre escamotable est télescopique de sorte à être étendue en position d'utilisation et rétractée en position escamotée.  Advantageously, said at least one retractable bar is telescopic so as to be extended in the use position and retracted in the retracted position.
Avantageusement, ledit au moins un patin comprend une patte de fixation et un levier de verrouillage, dans lequel le levier de verrouillage présente une surface d'appui agencée pour venir en appui sur ledit au moins un rail de sorte à pouvoir verrouiller ledit au moins un patin sur ledit au moins un rail. La patte de fixation peut être montée en pivot pour démonter le patin du rail, et le levier de verrouillage permet de bloquer le patin une fois ce dernier monté sur le rail. La sécurité est garantie, avec la suppression des glissements une fois verrouillé. La surface d'appui du levier de verrouillage peut être en polymère à base d'EPDM (éthylène-propylène-diène monomère). Avantageusement, ladite au moins une barre escamotable est fixée via une liaison pivot sur ledit au moins un moyen d'attache de sorte à pouvoir pivoter entre une position d'utilisation et une position escamotée. Advantageously, said at least one pad comprises a fixing lug and a locking lever, wherein the locking lever has a bearing surface arranged to bear on said at least one rail so as to lock said at least one pad on said at least one rail. The bracket can be pivotally mounted to disassemble the rail pad, and the locking lever can lock the pad once the latter mounted on the rail. Security is guaranteed, with the removal of slippage once locked. The bearing surface of the locking lever may be EPDM-based polymer (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer). Advantageously, said at least one retractable bar is fixed via a pivot connection on said at least one attachment means so as to be able to pivot between a use position and a retracted position.
Avantageusement, ledit au moins un moyen d'attache comprend un levier agencé pour être mobile entre une position de réglage et une position de verrouillage, Advantageously, said at least one attachment means comprises a lever arranged to be movable between an adjustment position and a locking position,
dans lequel le levier comprend in which the lever comprises

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et illustré par les dessins annexés, dans lesquels : Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading the following detailed description of a embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which:
- les figures 1 à 3 représentent un dispositif de support selon un mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention ; - les figures 4 à 6 représentent un dispositif de support selon un autre mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention.  - Figures 1 to 3 show a support device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figures 4 to 6 show a support device according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus en perspective d'une console centrale 50 d'un plafond d'habitacle de véhicule, agencée pour être montée longitudinalement dans l'habitacle du véhicule sur le plafond, autrement appelé pavillon.  Figure 1 shows a top view in perspective of a central console 50 of a vehicle cabin ceiling, arranged to be mounted longitudinally in the passenger compartment of the vehicle on the ceiling, otherwise called pavilion.
De part et d'autre de la console centrale 50 sont agencés deux rails 30 qui supportent des moyens d'attache 20 liés à des moyens de support 10, qui peuvent recevoir des charges longues, tels que des skis par exemple. Les moyens de support 10 sont déployés selon une direction transversale dans le véhicule, pour recevoir aisément des charges longues. On either side of the central console 50 are arranged two rails 30 which support attachment means 20 connected to support means 10, which can receive long loads, such as skis for example. The support means 10 are deployed in a transverse direction in the vehicle, to easily receive long loads.
Comme le montrent les flèches figure 1 , les moyens de support 10 par le biais de leurs moyens d'attache 20 peuvent coulisser le long des rails 30, pour s'adapter aux dimensions des charges à transporter.  As shown by the arrows in FIG. 1, the support means 10 by means of their attachment means 20 can slide along the rails 30, to adapt to the dimensions of the loads to be transported.
La figure 2 montre en détail un des sous ensemble de la figure 1 , avec le moyen de support 10 composé de deux barres escamotables 1 1 , et une barre de liaison 12, liée à deux moyens d'attache 20. Une patte de fixation 21 pivotante et articulée par rapport à une tige 22, pour former un patin lorsque la patte de fixation 21 est telle que représentée, et pour pouvoir démonter le patin lorsque la patte pivotante est dans la position représentée en pointillés. Il est également prévu un levier de verrouillage 23 qui comporte une face (par exemple en EPDM) pouvant contacter le rail 30, pour verrouiller le patin en position sur le rail 30.  FIG. 2 shows in detail one of the subassemblies of FIG. 1, with the support means 10 composed of two retractable bars 1 1, and a connecting bar 12, connected to two fastening means 20. A fastening tab 21 pivoting and articulated relative to a rod 22, to form a pad when the bracket 21 is as shown, and to be able to disassemble the pad when the pivoting tab is in the position shown in dashed lines. There is also provided a locking lever 23 which has a face (for example EPDM) which can contact the rail 30, to lock the pad in position on the rail 30.
Les barres escamotable 1 1 sont télescopiques et peuvent coulisser par rapport à la barre de liaison 12, comme le montre la figure 3. Cette mise en œuvre permet de gagner de la place pour ranger les sous ensembles s'ils ne sont pas utilisés, ou pour escamoter une seule des barres escamotables 1 1 dans le véhicule. On voit donc que l'invention propose un dispositif de support de charge amovible, réglable et escamotable pouvant s'adapter à des rails fins et discrets dans le véhicule. The retractable bars 1 1 are telescopic and can slide relative to the connecting bar 12, as shown in Figure 3. This implementation saves space to store the subsets if they are not used, or to retract one of the retractable bars 1 1 in the vehicle. It can thus be seen that the invention proposes a removable, adjustable and retractable load support device that can be adapted to thin and discrete rails in the vehicle.
Un autre mode de réalisation est représenté figures 4 à 6. Le principe est le même que sur la figure 1 (des sous ensembles peuvent coulisser le long de rails 30a situés au plafond du véhicule) et seules les barres escamotables 13 et leur fonctionnement sera expliqué ici.  Another embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. The principle is the same as in FIG. 1 (subsets can slide along rails 30a located on the vehicle ceiling) and only retractable bars 13 and their operation will be explained. right here.
Selon cette mise en œuvre, un moyen d'attache 20a porte une barre escamotable 13 montée en pivot. Il est également prévu un levier 14 qui peut lui aussi pivoter par rapport au moyen d'attache 20a. Tel que représenté figure 4, le moyen d'attache 20a forme lui-même un patin et peut coulisser sur le rail 30a. En effet, le levier 14 est alors en position de réglage et permet un tel coulissement. Sur cette figure, la barre escamotable 13 est en position escamotée, le long du rail 30a.  According to this implementation, a fastening means 20a carries a retractable bar 13 pivotally mounted. There is also provided a lever 14 which can also pivot relative to the fastening means 20a. As shown in Figure 4, the fastening means 20a itself forms a shoe and can slide on the rail 30a. Indeed, the lever 14 is then in the adjustment position and allows such sliding. In this figure, the retractable bar 13 is in the retracted position, along the rail 30a.
Sur la figure 5, le levier 14 a été pivoté vers une position de verrouillage, il vient contacter le rail 30a, et le moyen d'attache 20a ne peut plus coulisser. Le levier 14 possède une échancrure qui est venue se positionner en vis-à-vis de la barres escamotable 13 lors du pivotement, et cela permet de déployer la barre escamotable vers une position d'utilisation comme montré en figure 6.  In Figure 5, the lever 14 has been pivoted to a locking position, it comes to contact the rail 30a, and the fastening means 20a can no longer slide. The lever 14 has a notch which has been positioned in relation to the retractable bar 13 during pivoting, and this makes it possible to deploy the retractable bar to a position of use as shown in FIG. 6.
Le système comprend un poussoir à ressort (monté dans le moyen d'attache 20a et non visible) qui maintient la barre escamotable 13 dans la position d'utilisation de la figure 6.  The system comprises a spring plunger (mounted in the attachment means 20a and not visible) which holds the retractable bar 13 in the position of use of FIG. 6.
De préférence, les rails 30 ou 30a sont prévus sur une face supérieure d'une console de plafond centrale 50. Il est à noter qu'idéalement les pistes de coulissement sont planes afin de permettre un coulissement facile du patin sur le rail. Cependant, il est tout à fait possible que ce rail 30 ou 30a ait un profil cranté, qui, à défaut de fournir un coulissement facile, permet de bloquer les patins à des endroits discrets, à intervalles réguliers ou non, afin de fournir une certaine robustesse au dispositif. Preferably, the rails 30 or 30a are provided on an upper face of a central ceiling console 50. It should be noted that ideally the sliding tracks are planar so as to allow easy sliding of the pad on the rail. However, it is quite possible that this rail 30 or 30a has a notched profile, which, failing to provide easy sliding, can block the pads in discrete locations, at regular intervals or not, to provide some robustness to the device.
Bien évidemment, l'invention porte également sur un véhicule automobile comprenant un dispositif de support tel qu'il est décrit plus haut et monté dans le véhicule. On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l'invention décrits dans la présente description sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications annexées. En particulier, il est fait référence aux mécanismes de verrouillage qui peuvent revêtir des formes différentes, aux différents types et matériaux des barres, etc. Obviously, the invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising a support device as described above and mounted in the vehicle. It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims. In particular, reference is made to locking mechanisms which may take different forms, to different types and materials of bars, etc.
