Abstract

The invention relates to a device enabling tarpaulins to be rapidly put on and taken off vehicles, especially the open-top cabs of military lorries in order that, when the top rails have been totally folded up and the windscreen folded down or removed, an armament system which can fire horizontally over 360 DEG and upwards up to 90 DEG can be installed. This device is characterised in that the base 11 of the windscreen 1 is assembled to the cab 2 of the vehicle by removable fixing members 17, 18 whilst the ridge 12 of the said windscreen is coupled to the articulated top rails 5, 6, 7 in order to form with the latter a kinematic assembly, which can be folded up like an accordion, in the direction of the rear of the cab 2, the said assembly being securely fastened to retractable uprights 8 in order to be removed with them, after folding up, into the cab. The device is more particularly intended for military vehicles.

Description

"Dispositif pour le bâchage et le débchage de véhicules"."Device for covering and uncorking vehicles".

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant le bâchage et le débâchage rapides des véhicules, notamment des Ca- bines Torpédo de camions militaires afin que l'on puisse, lorsque les arceaux ont été totalement repliés et le pare-brise rabattu ou effacé, installer un système d'armes pouvant tirer b l'horizontale sur 3600 et vers le haut sur 90O.  The invention relates to a device for quickly covering and uncovering vehicles, in particular torpedo cabins of military trucks so that, when the roll bars have been completely folded and the windshield folded down or erased, a device can be installed. weapon system capable of firing horizontally at 3600 and upwards at 90O.

Les véhicules Torpédo ont depuis des décennies fait appel d des ossatures formées de bielettes articulées destinées à sous-tendre la toile, celles-ci se repliant en accordéon pour venir en position rétractée se ramasser à l'arrière du véhicule sous un encothrement le plus réduit possible. Torpédo vehicles have for decades used frames formed of articulated connecting rods intended to underpin the canvas, these folding in accordion to come in retracted position to be picked up at the rear of the vehicle in a reduced encumbrance possible.

S'agissant des véhicules militaires et en particulier de leur cabine de pilotage, on prévoit le plus souvent un montage articulé du pare-brise de manière à ce qu'il puisse se rabattre vers l'avant, l'ossature formée d ' arçeaux articulés étant repliable et servant à soutenir la capote démontable. Cette formule de cabine, de même que le repliement des arceaux de la capote présente plusieurs inconvénients liés au oare - brise et à la manoeuvre de bâchage et de débSchage. En effet, le fait que le pare-brise se rabatte sur l'avant de la cabine gene le refroidissement du moteur, car il vient se placer devant les ouies d'aération dudit moteur.En outre, le pare-brise ainsi rabattu gêne la visibilité du chauffeur en masquant les quelques mètres de route situés immédiatement devantle véhicule, ce qui est particulièrement gênant pour un véhicule évoluant en terrain accidenté. With regard to military vehicles and in particular their cockpit, provision is most often made for an articulated mounting of the windshield so that it can fold forward, the frame formed by articulated arches. being foldable and used to support the removable hood. This cabin formula, as well as the folding of the hood arches, presents several drawbacks linked to the windshield and to the covering and unloading operation. Indeed, the fact that the windshield folds down on the front of the cabin hinders the cooling of the engine, because it comes to be placed in front of the ventilation openings of said engine. In addition, the windshield thus folded hinders the visibility of the driver by masking the few meters of road located immediately in front of the vehicle, which is particularly troublesome for a vehicle operating in rough terrain.

En outre, le montage de l'ossature et son mode de repliement engendrent des manoeuvres longues et fastidieuses aussi bien dans le sens déploiement que dans le sens rétraction. In addition, the mounting of the frame and its folding mode generate long and tedious maneuvers both in the deployment direction and in the retraction direction.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces divers inconvénients, et concerne à cet effet un dispositif de bâchage et de ddbSchage pour cabines torpédo, notamment pour les véhicules militaires, dans lequel le pare-brise peut au choix être rabattu sur l'avant tandis que l'ossature articulée se replie et bascule vers l'arrière, ou encore être maintenu en position opérationnelle
(alors que la cabine est débachée),ou enfin et surtout, former un ensemble cinématiquement solidaire avec l'ossature articulée pour pouvoir être replié en accordéon avec ladite ossature.The invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks, and for this purpose relates to a tarpaulin and ddbSchage device for roadster cabins, in particular for military vehicles, in which the windshield can optionally be folded down on the front while the articulated frame folds and tilts backwards, or even be kept in the operational position
(while the cabin is opened), or finally and above all, form a kinematically integral unit with the articulated frame to be able to be folded in accordion with said frame.

L'invention concerne donc un dispositif pour le bâchage et le débâchage de véhicules, applicable notamment aux cabines de pilotage de camions militaires, du type comprenant une ossature formée d'arceaux articulés accouplés au pare-brise et servant à sous-tendre la toile recouvrant ladite cabine, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que la base du pare-brise est assemblé à l'habitacle du véhicule par des organes de fixation amovibles tandis que le fate dudit pare-brise est accouplé aux arceaux articulés formant l'ossature, cette dernière constituant avec le pare-brise un ensemble cinématique repliable en accordéon, en d-recticn de l'arrière de la cabine, ledit ensemble étant solidaire de montants escamotables pour s'effacer, après repliement, à l'intérieur de la cabine. The invention therefore relates to a device for tarpaulin and unblocking of vehicles, applicable in particular to the cabins of military trucks, of the type comprising a frame formed by articulated arches coupled to the windshield and serving to underpin the fabric covering said cabin, this device being characterized in that the base of the windshield is assembled to the passenger compartment of the vehicle by removable fixing members while the fate of said windshield is coupled to the articulated arches forming the framework, the latter constituting with the windshield a kinematic foldable accordion assembly, d-recticn from the rear of the cabin, said assembly being integral with retractable uprights to disappear, after folding, inside the cabin.

Suivant un mode. de réalisation, le pare-brise est totalement indépendant de l'habitacle du véhicule ainsi que des arceaux articulés formant l'ossature du bâchage, la base et le faite de ce pare-brise étant accouplés de façon amovible audit habitacle et auxdits arceaux par des moyens de fixation amovibles, de sorte que le pare-brise peut au choix être démonté de l'habitacle ou encore être maintenu en place(tandis que l'ossature est repliée vers l'arrière) ou encore rabattu sur l'avant de la cabine ou enfin suivre l'ossature dans son repliement en accordéon. According to a mode. embodiment, the windshield is completely independent of the passenger compartment of the vehicle as well as of the articulated arches forming the framework of the tarpaulin, the base and the made of this windshield being removably coupled to said passenger compartment and to said arches removable fixing means, so that the windshield can optionally be dismantled from the passenger compartment or be held in place (while the framework is folded back) or folded down on the front of the cabin or finally follow the framework in its folding accordion.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description ci-après et des dessins annexés dans lesquels

Le but essentiel de lVinvention est de mettre à la disposition des usagers de véhicules torpédo et en particulier les militaires pilotant des véhicules de transport de troupes ou de ma- triel, un système de bâchage et de débâchage rapides permettant de réduire très notablement le temps matériel nécessaire à ces opérations tout en rendant la manoeuvre simple et aisée. Là où il fallait naguère une bonne dizaine de minutes pour procéder à l'opé
-ation de dêbâchage, l'invention propose d'obtenir le même résultat en dix fois moins de temps.The essential aim of the invention is to provide road users of road vehicles, and in particular the soldiers driving troops or equipment transport vehicles, with a rapid tarpaulin and uncovering system which makes it possible to reduce material time very considerably. necessary for these operations while making the maneuver simple and easy. Where it used to take a good ten minutes to perform the operation
-ation of cleaning, the invention proposes to obtain the same result in ten times less time.

Pour ce faire, le pare-brise 1 de la cabine torpédo 2 est totalement indépendant de l'ossature de ladite cabine, la base 11 de ce pare-brise étant assemblée au châssis 3 de la cabine 2 par des organes de fixation amovibles, tandis que son faite 12 est accouplé à l'ossature 4, formée d'arceaux articulés, par des orgaw nes également détachables de manière à ce que l'on puisse au choix désolidariser la base du pare-brise du châssis de la cabine en maintenant son fate articulé à l'ossature 4, ou encore désolidariser la partie supérieure du pare-brise de l'ossature 4 mais maintenir a liais au niveau de sa base 1 1,de manière à maintenir le parebrise en position relevée, dite"position opérationnelle", ou encore, puisque les organes de fixation constituent en même temps des moyens d'articulation, faire basculer vers lavant le pare-brise pour le rabattre sur la cabine 2. To do this, the windshield 1 of the roadster cabin 2 is completely independent of the frame of said cabin, the base 11 of this windshield being assembled to the chassis 3 of the cabin 2 by removable fixing members, while that its made 12 is coupled to the frame 4, formed of articulated arches, by orgaw nes also detachable so that one can optionally separate the base of the windshield from the chassis of the cabin maintaining its fate articulated to the frame 4, or separate the upper part of the windshield from the frame 4 but maintain a link at its base 1 1, so as to maintain the windshield in the raised position, called "operational position" , or again, since the fixing members constitute at the same time articulation means, tilt the windshield towards the front to fold it over the cabin 2.

De façon avantageuse, la base 11 du pare-brise est redue indépendante du châssis 3 de la cabine de manière à pouvoir former avec l'ossature articulée 4, un ensemble cinématique pouvant se replier à la façon d'un accordéon vers l'arrière de la cabine sous un encombrement réduit. Cette ossature 4 est formée, dans l'exemple considéré, de trois arceaux ou bielettes 5,6 et 7, les arceaux avant 5 étant accouplés au fatte 12 du pare-brise et les arceaux arrière 7 aux iroetants effaçables 8. Ces différents arceaux sont reliés les uns aux autres par des tourillons 9 de manière à pouvoir s'articuler à la façon d'un compas, ces tourillons 9 comportant des butées fin de course de façon à éviter que l'ossature s'affaisse vers le bas. Ces systen's de lmiLation de course sont parfaitement connus et utilisés dans le commerce pour ce genre de pièces articulées. Les arceaux 5, 6 et 7 des deux flancs de la cabine sont reliés entre eux au niveau de leurs articulations 9, par des traverses 10, visibles en fig.1. Advantageously, the base 11 of the windshield is reduced independent of the chassis 3 of the cabin so as to be able to form, with the articulated framework 4, a kinematic assembly which can be folded up like an accordion towards the rear of the cabin in a small footprint. This frame 4 is formed, in the example considered, of three arches or connecting rods 5, 6 and 7, the front arches 5 being coupled to the exhaust 12 of the windshield and the rear arches 7 to the erasable iroetants 8. These different arches are connected to each other by pins 9 so as to be able to articulate like a compass, these pins 9 comprising end-of-travel stops so as to prevent the framework from sagging downwards. These racing limenation systems are perfectly known and used in the trade for this kind of articulated parts. The arches 5, 6 and 7 of the two sides of the cabin are interconnected at their joints 9, by crosspieces 10, visible in fig.1.

Les montants 8 ont leur extrérîté inférieure engagée, avec
étancheité,danslesforreauxîî, solidaires de la partie arrière du châs
sis de la cabine, ces fourreaux renfermant des ressorts pneumatiques à gaz 12, dont la poussée est supérieure au poids de l'ossature 4, la base inférieure des montants comportant un orifice dans
lequel est engagée, à travers des fourreaux 11, une broche de fixation 13 s'opposant à l'enfoncement inopiné des montants dans lesdits fourreaux. L'extrémité supérieure des montants 8 comporte une chape 14 en forme de secteur, dans laquelle pivote l'arceau 7, cette chape comportant des orifices 15 distriiaées sur un arc de cercle pour
de verrouiller dans des positions différentes lesdits arceaux 7,
ces verrouillages se faisant par une broche ou goupille 16.The uprights 8 have their lower ends engaged, with
watertightness, in the slots, secured to the rear part of the frame
located in the cabin, these sleeves containing pneumatic gas springs 12, the thrust of which is greater than the weight of the frame 4, the lower base of the uprights having an orifice in
which is engaged, through sleeves 11, a fixing pin 13 opposing the unexpected depression of the uprights in said sleeves. The upper end of the uprights 8 has a sector-shaped yoke 14, in which the hoop 7 pivots, this yoke having orifices 15 distributed on an arc of a circle for
to lock said arches 7 in different positions,
these locks being made by a pin or pin 16.

Les organes de fixation amovibles assurant l'accouplement de la base et du fate du paré-brise respectivement au châs
sis de la cåbine-et à l'ossature de bâchage, sont constitués d'éléments du commerce par exemple de broches, de sauterelles ou encore,
comme illustré en fig.8, de loquets basculants 17 pourvus d'une
décape 18 venant en prise sur un tourillon 19 (axes d'articulation) solidaire du
pare-brise, le verrouillage de ce loquet étant réalisé par un verrou
vissable 20. Il est bien évident qu'il s'agit là d'un mode de réa
lisation mais que l'on pourrait utiliser tout autre organe de fi .xation amovible sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Removable fasteners ensuring the coupling of the base and the fate of the windshield respectively to the chassis
located in the cåbine-and with the tarpaulin framework, are made up of elements of the trade for example of pins, grasshoppers or,
as illustrated in fig. 8, tilting latches 17 provided with a
stripper 18 engaging on a pin 19 (hinge pins) integral with the
windscreen, the locking of this latch being produced by a lock
screwable 20. It is obvious that this is a mode of reaction
reading but that one could use any other removable fi .xation member without departing from the scope of the invention.

Ce système de montage permet le déploiement et le
repliement de l'ossature articuléeyavec ou sans le pare-bris dans
un temps record. En effet, si l'on souhaite découvrir totalement la
cabine, il suffit-de désolidariser la base 11 du pare-brise.de la
cabine puis de retirer la broche 16 de manière à pouvoir libérer
les arceaux 7 et les incliner comme cela est visible en fig.4,
suivant un angle de 450 environ.Il suffit ensuite d'amener l'ar
ceau 6 contre l'arceau 71par une simple rotation/ puis de replier
l'ensemble à la façon d'un accordéon jusqu'à ce que les trois ar
ceaux 5,6 et 7 soient regroupés et juxtaposés, le pare-brise, arti culé par son faite aux arceaux formant avec ceux-ci un ensemble cinématique et basculant vers l'extérieur (fig.3), pour venir en définitive s'appliquer contre les arceaux juxtaposés comme visible en fig.6. Le tout est ensuite ramené en position verticale par basculement autour de la chape 14 des montants 8,de manière à ce que l'ensemble puisse venir se loger derrière les sièges du conducteur et du passager.This mounting system allows the deployment and
folding of the articulated frame with or without the windscreen in
record time. Indeed, if one wishes to fully discover the
cabin, just disconnect the base 11 from the windshield.
cabin then remove pin 16 so that you can release
the arches 7 and tilt them as shown in fig.4,
at an angle of about 450. Then just bring the ar
hoop 6 against hoop 71 by a simple rotation / then fold back
the whole like an accordion until the three ar
5, 5 and 7 are grouped together and juxtaposed, the windshield, articulated by its made with arches forming with them a kinematic assembly and tilting outwards (fig. 3), to finally apply against the juxtaposed arches as visible in fig. 6. The whole is then brought back to the vertical position by tilting around the yoke 14 of the uprights 8, so that the assembly can be housed behind the driver and passenger seats.

Lorsque l'on est dans cette position1 il suffit de retirer la broche 13 pour permettre l'effacement ou l'escamotage de l'ensemble à l'intérieur de la cabine, ce mouvement de des cente s'effectuant par une simple pression exercée sur les arceaux
de manière à catprirr'r le gaz (ressort pneumatique) contenu à l'intérieur des amor- tisseurs. Lorsque l'ensemble est effacé comme visible en fig.7, on le verrouille dans cette position en introduisant la broche 13 dans un orifice 21 prévu à la partie supérieure des montants 8.When one is in this position1 it suffices to remove the pin 13 to allow the erasure or the retraction of the assembly inside the cabin, this movement of centering being effected by a simple pressure exerted on the hoops
so as to catprirr'r the gas (pneumatic spring) contained inside the shock absorbers. When the assembly is erased as visible in FIG. 7, it is locked in this position by introducing the pin 13 into an orifice 21 provided in the upper part of the uprights 8.

On observe que dans cette position de la fig.7, les arceaux sont en application les uns sur les autres de même que le pare-brise de sorte que l'ensemble est vertical et forme un volume réduit.It is observed that in this position of fig.7, the arches are in application on each other as well as the windshield so that the assembly is vertical and forms a reduced volume.

Pour passer de la position débchée et à la position bâché, il suffira de procéder aux opérations inverses, c'est-à-dire: déverrouillage des montants 8 (qui seront poussés vers le haut par le gaz
catprimé des ressorts pneumatique 12; déblocage dB la chape 14 (pour libérer les arceaux 7,déploiement de ces arceaux et accrochage de la base du pare-brise à la cabine. La toile ou boche est elle-même fixée à l'ossature articulée par des organes de fixation traditionnels et peut, bien entendu, se replier avec l'ossature 4 au cours de l'opération de débâchage. To go from the pulled-out position to the tarpaulin position, it will suffice to carry out the reverse operations, that is: unlocking the uprights 8 (which will be pushed upwards by the gas
compressed air springs 12; dB release the clevis 14 (to release the arches 7, deployment of these arches and attachment of the base of the windshield to the cabin. The canvas or boche is itself fixed to the articulated frame by traditional fasteners and can, of course, fold back with the frame 4 during the uncovering operation.
