Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of interior equipment for motor vehicles.
- the invention relates more particularly to a tool facilitating the assembly of the rear seats of a motor vehicle when these are foldable.
- a removable fixing of the seat backrest (or seats) is provided on the vehicle body.
- a fixing is obtained for example by means of a locking mechanism comprising at least one hook secured to the vehicle body and fixed relative thereto, and comprising a movable finger, secured to the back of the seat, and configured to take a locked position, in which the movable finger is engaged with the hook, and an unlocked position in which the movable finger is not engaged with the hook.
- FIG. 1a and 1b show a hook of a locking mechanism as described above.
- a hook 1 having a slot 10 provided to cooperate with a movable finger of the locking mechanism (not shown). Near the slot 10, the hook 1 has one end having a straight edge 14.
- the hook 1 is configured to be fixed to the body of a motor vehicle by means of a fixing screw 12, the tightening thereof this takes place in the direction indicated by the arrow F.
- FIG. 1 shows an axis A corresponding to the correct position of the hook 1 a. As illustrated in FIG.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a tool allowing an operator to carry out the fixing of a hook such as that shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b without risk of driving the hook towards a bad position when tightening the screw.
- the invention relates to a tool for positioning a hook for fixing a locking mechanism, the positioning tool comprising:
- a base configured to be positioned resting on a first portion of the body of a vehicle
- An intermediate part comprising a front face configured to be positioned in abutment on a second portion of the body of said vehicle;
- an upper part comprising a finger configured to cooperate with a slot of the fixing hook and prevent rotation of the latter during the assembly of the fixing hook on the vehicle body.
- the tool for positioning the fixing hook
- the tool comprising a finger capable of cooperating with the hook in order to block the latter in rotation
- an operator is allowed to carry out a correct positioning of the hook, simply , fast and perfectly repeatable.
- the tool according to the invention is also very simple to use and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the intermediate part includes a magnetic element allowing the autonomous positioning and the maintenance of the positioning tool against the second portion of the vehicle body by the action of the magnetic attraction force.
- the base has a lower surface forming a support surface whose shape is configured to be complementary to the shape of the first portion of the vehicle body.
- the positioning tool comprises a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate.
- the invention also relates to a method of assembling a hook for fixing to the body of a vehicle using a positioning tool according to one of the preceding claims, the method comprising the steps consisting in:
- FIG. 1 a already described, illustrates a locking hook for a foldable seat back
- FIG. 1b already described, illustrates the hook of FIG. 1, in an incorrect position after tightening the fixing screw
- FIG. 2a is a perspective view of a positioning tool according to the invention.
- FIG. 2b is a front view of the positioning tool of FIG. 2a;
- FIG. 3a is a view showing a step of fixing the hook of FIGS. 1a and 1b using a tool according to the invention
- FIG. 3b is a perspective view similar to FIG. 3a.
- FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b A positioning tool according to the invention and its use are described below, in relation to FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b.
- the positioning tool 2 comprises a base 20, an intermediate part 22 and an upper part 24.
- the base 20a has a lower surface 20a, whether flat or not.
- the shape of the lower surface 20a of the base 20 is configured to be complementary to an element of the body of the motor vehicle on which the positioning tool 2 will be used. In fact, as will be seen below, the lower surface 20a of the base 20 is intended to serve as a reference for the positioning of the positioning tool 2.
- the central part 22 includes a magnetic element 22a, such as a magnet 22a.
- the magnetic element 22a is arranged so as to be flush with a front face 22b of the central part 22.
- the upper part 24 has a finger 24a, configured to cooperate with the slot of a locking hook, such as the slot 10 of the hook 1 in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b.
- the positioning tool 2 makes it possible to block the rotation of a locking hook when it is fixed.
- Figures 3a and 3b show a step of assembling the hook 1 of Figures 1a and 1b on the body 3 of a vehicle.
- the positioning tool As can be seen in these figures, the positioning tool
- the positioning tool 2 is supported on a first portion 30 of the body 3, which allows to position the tool in a first direction, and therefore to ensure that the finger 24a is at the right height.
- the magnetic element 22a cooperates with a second portion 32 of the body 3, to which the hook 1 must be fixed. Thanks to the magnetic element 22a, the positioning tool 2 is positioned and held independently. in a second direction, by the effect of the magnetic attraction force, which presses the front face 22b of the intermediate part of the positioning tool against the second portion 32 of the body 3. This positioning of the tool according to a second direction ensures good spacing between the finger 24a and the screw axis of the screw 12.
- the positioning tool 2 is configured to provide a reference for the positioning of the hook 1, by positioning the latter so that the slot 10 cooperates with the finger 24a of the positioning tool 2.
- this cooperation between the finger 24a and the slot 10 will prevent any rotation movement of the hook 1 when a tightening torque is applied to the screw 12.
- the tool according to the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain rapid, safe and repeatable positioning of a fixing hook, and at a lower cost.
- the positioning tool can advantageously be made from a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- a body will be provided in which the intermediate part 22 has a bore allowing the magnetic element 22a to be inserted therein.
