Description
Dispositif de montage d'un boîtier de rétroviseur sur un organe de support.Device for mounting a mirror housing on a support member.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de montage d'un boîtier de rétroviseur sur un organe de support solidaire de la carrosserie d'un véhicule, notamment du gousset d'une porte. The present invention relates to a device for mounting a mirror housing on a support member integral with the body of a vehicle, in particular the gusset of a door.
Le rétroviseur qui est réglable de l'intérieur du véhicule comporte un miroir qui est assujetti au boîtier et fait corps avec celui-ci. The rear view mirror, which is adjustable from inside the vehicle, includes a mirror which is attached to and forms part of the housing.
On connaît des dispositifs de jonction entre le boîtier et l'organe de support de commande au moyen d'un organe élastique, dans lesquels on utilise un ressort de traction ou de compression disposé dans le boîtier, ce ressort étant fixé à l'une de ses extrémites dans le boîtier et à son autre extrémité sur l'organe de support de commande. Connection devices are known between the housing and the control support member by means of an elastic member, in which a tension or compression spring disposed in the housing is used, this spring being fixed to one of its ends in the housing and at its other end on the control support member.
Dans le dispositif suivant la présente invention, on utilise également un ressort mais dont le point de fixation à l'or- gane de commande est situé de façon différente des moyens connus et en combinaison avec une ouverture fonctionnelle et particulière de la paroi du boîtier en contact avec l'organe de support. In the device according to the present invention, a spring is also used but whose point of attachment to the control member is located differently from known means and in combination with a functional and particular opening of the wall of the housing in contact with the support member.
Conformément à la présente invention l'une des extrémités de l'organe élastique est fixée dans le boîtier et l'autre extrémité est montée pivotante sur un organe de fixation solidaire de l'organe de support et s'étendant dans le boîtier de telle sorte que l'action du ressort s'exerce toujours suivant l'axe longitudinal du boîtier dont la face convexe présente une ouverture pour le passage de l'organe de fixation qui comporte au moins deux bossages sur ses faces opposées qui sont susceptibles d'être engagés sélectivement dans au moins deux logements prévus aux extrémités de l'ouverture lorsque le boîtier est en position escamotée ledit boîtier présentant au moins une nervure qui est engagée dans un logement correspondant de l'organe de support. According to the present invention one end of the elastic member is fixed in the housing and the other end is pivotally mounted on a fixing member integral with the support member and extending in the housing so that the action of the spring is always exerted along the longitudinal axis of the housing, the convex face of which has an opening for the passage of the fixing member which comprises at least two bosses on its opposite faces which are capable of being engaged selectively in at least two housings provided at the ends of the opening when the housing is in the retracted position, said housing having at least one rib which is engaged in a corresponding housing of the support member.
La caractéristique de l'invention réside dans le mode de jonction élastique et d'escamotage du boîtier par rapport à l'or- galLe de support suivant une inclinaison angulaire déterminée et qui permet au boîtier de rester en position extrême escamotée sans rappel élastique. The characteristic of the invention resides in the mode of elastic junction and retraction of the housing relative to the support orifice according to a determined angular inclination and which allows the housing to remain in the extreme retracted position without elastic return.
Cette disposition présente une sécurité en cas de choc sur le boîtier, celui-ci n'étant pas sollicité par son ressort de rappel et n'étant pas ramené brutalement on position initiale afin d'éviter le "coup de raquette". This arrangement provides security in the event of an impact on the housing, the latter not being biased by its return spring and not being brought back suddenly to the initial position in order to avoid the "racket stroke".
Par ailleurs, le dispositif permet lors de la livraison du véhicule de maintenir la coupelle rabattue contre la carrosserie et d'éviter ainsi les risques de détérioration. Furthermore, the device allows the delivery of the vehicle to keep the cup folded against the body and thus avoid the risk of damage.

V of figure 1.
Aux figures 1, 2 et 3 on a représenté un rétroviseur de véhicule qui comprend un organe de support 1 présentant un logement sphérique la dans lequel est montée oscillante une rotule 3 qui présente une face concave 3a contre laquelle est en appui une face convexe 4 d'un boîtier 5 sur lequel est monté de façon connue un miroir non représenté au dessin. In Figures 1, 2 and 3 there is shown a vehicle rearview mirror which comprises a support member 1 having a spherical housing 1a in which an oscillating ball 3 is mounted which has a concave face 3a against which a convex face 4 d is supported 'a housing 5 on which is mounted in a known manner a mirror not shown in the drawing.
Par ailleurs, la face 4 du bottier 5 présente deux nervures 5, 6a qui sont engagées respectivement dans des logements parallèles 7, 7a de la rotule 3 disposés avec leur axe sensiblement horizontal. Le boîtier est maintenu en contact avec la face 3a de la rotule 3 sous l'action d'un ressort hélicoidal de traction 8 disposé dans le boîtier et fixé à l'une de ses extrémités en un point 9 du boîtier et à l'autre extrémité sur une entretoise 10
tenue entre les branches d'une chape 12 fixée sur la rotule, par un axe 11 (figure 5) dont les deux extrémités 12c et 12d sont rivetées.Furthermore, the face 4 of the boot 5 has two ribs 5, 6a which are respectively engaged in parallel housings 7, 7a of the ball 3 arranged with their axis substantially horizontal. The housing is kept in contact with the face 3a of the ball joint 3 under the action of a helical tension spring 8 disposed in the housing and fixed at one of its ends at a point 9 of the housing and at the other end on a spacer 10
held between the branches of a yoke 12 fixed on the ball joint, by an axis 11 (Figure 5) whose two ends 12c and 12d are riveted.
La chape 12 s'étend à l'intérieur du boîtier 5 à travers une ouverture 13 (figure 4) ménagée dans la paroi 14 en contact avec la rotule, ladite ouverture présentant à chaque extrémité des logements 13a 13b et 13c, 13d dans lesquels sont susceptibles de venir s'engager des bossages 12a, 12b prévus sur la chape 12, lorsque le bottier est en position escamotée comme il est représenté en trait interrompu à la figure 3. The yoke 12 extends inside the housing 5 through an opening 13 (FIG. 4) formed in the wall 14 in contact with the ball joint, said opening having at each end housings 13a 13b and 13c, 13d in which are likely to engage bosses 12a, 12b provided on the yoke 12, when the boot is in the retracted position as shown in broken lines in FIG. 3.
Dans ce cas, le ressort 8 ayant pivoté autour de l'axe 11, il agit sur le boîtier suivant les axes X ou Xl ce qui le maintient en position escamotée et ne.permet pas son retour automatique en position initiale. Pour ramener le boîtier en position normale, il faut agir manuellement pour dégager le bottier des bossages de la chape, le ressort tournant sur l'entretoise 10 en amenant les nervures 6, 6a dans les logements 7 7a de la rotule. In this case, the spring 8 having pivoted about the axis 11, it acts on the housing along the axes X or Xl which keeps it in the retracted position and does not allow its automatic return to the initial position. To return the housing to the normal position, it is necessary to act manually to release the shoemaker from the bosses of the yoke, the spring rotating on the spacer 10 by bringing the ribs 6, 6a into the housings 7 7a of the ball joint.
La rotule 3 présente un logement 15 dans lequel est montée une tige de manoeuvre 16 s'étendant à l'intérieur du véhicule par un orifice oblong lb de l'organe de support, et sur laquelle est montée une coupelle 18 à portée concave en appui d'une part contre une rondelle d'arrêt 17 positionnée sur la tige de manoeuvre, d'autre part contre une portée convexe 19 de la paroi du logement sphérique la de l'organe de support, sous l'action d'un ressort hélicoidal de compression 20.The ball 3 has a housing 15 in which is mounted an operating rod 16 extending inside the vehicle by an oblong orifice lb of the support member, and on which is mounted a cup 18 with concave bearing support on the one hand against a locking washer 17 positioned on the operating rod, on the other hand against a convex bearing surface 19 of the wall of the spherical housing 1a of the support member, under the action of a helical spring compression 20.
Le ressort 20 est disposé dans le logement 15 de la
rotule 3 et il est en appui d'un côté contre le fond du logement 15 et de l'autre cêté contre une rondelle 21 solidaire de la tige 16 de manoeuvre, ladite rondelle présentant deux doigts 21a, 21b qui sont engagés dans deux logements correspondants de la rotule 3.The spring 20 is disposed in the housing 15 of the
ball 3 and it bears on one side against the bottom of the housing 15 and on the other side against a washer 21 secured to the operating rod 16, said washer having two fingers 21a, 21b which are engaged in two corresponding housings of the patella 3.
De cette manière, la tige 16 est rendue solidaire par les doigts 21a, 21b et par le ressort 20, de 13 rotule 3 qui permetakEV d'orienter dans toutes les positions et sous un couple de manoeuvre déterminé la rotule et le boîtier 5, qui est solidaire de cette dernière. In this way, the rod 16 is made integral by the fingers 21a, 21b and by the spring 20, of 13 ball joint 3 which allowsakEV to orient in all positions and under a determined operating torque the ball joint and the housing 5, which is in solidarity with the latter.
Pour les rétroviseurs de véhicules utilitaires
(camionnettes, camions) le dispositif décrit ci-dessus peut être utilisé également.For rear view mirrors of commercial vehicles
(vans, trucks) the device described above can also be used.
Dans ce cas, le boîtier 5 est monté suivant un moyen classique, sur rotule à l'extrémité d'un bras de support intermédiaire, lequel porte longitudinalement le ressort 8 de traction qui constitue un moyen de jonction élastique de l'extrémité curviligneùudit bras sur la partie curviligne correspondante de l'organe de support assujetti à la carrosserie du véhicule et un moyen de crabotage étant prévu sur l'organe de support. In this case, the housing 5 is mounted according to conventional means, on a ball joint at the end of an intermediate support arm, which longitudinally carries the traction spring 8 which constitutes a means of elastic junction of the curved end of said arm on the corresponding curvilinear part of the support member subject to the vehicle body and a dog clutch means being provided on the support member.
Sous l'effet d'un choc, le bras se libère de son moyen de verrouillage et reste ensuite sans contrainte élastique, jusqu'en fin de course d'escamotage. Cette disposition permet au conducteur de rabattre le rétroviseur dans des passages resserrés. Under the effect of a shock, the arm is released from its locking means and then remains without elastic stress, until the end of the retraction stroke. This arrangement allows the driver to fold the mirror in tight passages.
Bien entendu, la description n'est pas limitative et l'homme de l'art pourra y apporter des modifications sans sortir pour cela du domaine de l'invention Of course, the description is not limiting and those skilled in the art may make modifications to it without departing from the scope of the invention.
