Abstract
Description
D positif d'attelage d'une semi-remorsue à un moyen tracteur tel lu'un pic-u. D positive coupling of a semi-twisted to a tractor means such as a pic-u.
la présente invention concerne les dispositifs d'attelage assurant la liaison entre un tracteur et une semi-remorque. the present invention relates to coupling devices ensuring the connection between a tractor and a semi-trailer.
je dispositif d'attelage selon 11 invention est applicable a une semi-remorque pouvant être quelconque mais très favorablement à une caravane de poids total égal ou inférieur à 3* Aga. the coupling device according to the invention is applicable to a semi-trailer which may be any, but very favorably to a caravan of total weight equal to or less than 3 * Aga.
nlutilisation d'une caravane constituée par une semi- remorque présente plusieurs avantages précis relativement à celle d'une remorque attelée derrière le véhicule tracteur, solution possible lorsque ce dernier est du genre dit pick-up (plateaucabine léger ). On augmente ainsi l'adhérence et la maniabilité de ce tracteur ainsi que la longueur utile de la caravane, pour une longueur d'ensemble (caravane plus tracteur ) inchangée. The use of a caravan made up of a semi-trailer has several specific advantages compared to that of a trailer coupled behind the towing vehicle, a possible solution when the latter is of the so-called pick-up type (light cab bed). This increases the grip and maneuverability of this tractor as well as the useful length of the caravan, for an overall length (caravan plus tractor) unchanged.
Toutefois pour pouvoir bénéfioier de ces avantages il est nécessaire de prévoir une disposition et des moyens simples caractéristiques qui font l'objet de la présente invention.However, in order to be able to benefit from these advantages, it is necessary to provide a characteristic arrangement and simple means which are the subject of the present invention.
bn effet;une semi-remorque classique avec point d1 accrochage situé sous l'avant de la caisse,ou directement sur le front avant,ne permet pas de placer comme il conviendrait les moyens récepteurs d'attelage disposés sur le tracteur pick-up quand le plateau de celui-ci est trop court (cas par exemple d'un nick-up double cabine ),en raison de l'espace libre nécessaire entre le front arrière de la cabine de ce dernier et le front avant de la semi-remorque, cet espace devant être réservé pour les variations angulaires résultant des mouvements relatifs entre tracteur et semi-remorque, aussi bien lors de courbes prononcées de la route qu'au cours de manoeuvres. bn effect; a conventional semi-trailer with point d1 hooking located under the front of the body, or directly on the front, does not allow to place properly the receiver hitch means arranged on the pick-up tractor when the platform of this one is too short (case for example of a double cabin nick-up), because of the free space necessary between the rear front of the cabin of the latter and the front front of the semi-trailer , this space must be reserved for the angular variations resulting from the relative movements between tractor and semi-trailer, as well during pronounced curves of the road as during maneuvers.
un décrira ci-apres en se référant au dessin annexé à titre indicatifs un exemple de réalisation du dispositif conforme à .l'invention permettant d'obtenir les résultats avantageux qui lui sont propres:
La figure 1 représente schématiquement une vue en élévation de l'attelage assurant la liaison zntre un pick-up et une semi remorque telle qu'une caravane dtun poids total égal ou inférieur à 3.5cl Kgs. a description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawing for information only, an example of an embodiment of the device according to the invention making it possible to obtain the advantageous results which are specific to it:
Figure 1 schematically shows an elevational view of the hitch ensuring the connection to a pick-up and a semi-trailer such as a caravan with a total weight of 3.5cl Kgs or less.
La figure 2 est une vue en plan de l'ensemble de la figure 1. Figure 2 is a plan view of the assembly of Figure 1.
l
Sur ces figures, la référence 1 désigne le pick-up, la référence 2 la cabine et la référence 3 le plateau. La référence 4 désigne la semi-remorque constituée dans le présent exemple par une caravane. La pièce d'attelage 5 fixée à la base du front avant 6 de la semi-remorque 4, et développée en longueur est constituée par une pièce métallique (tison) équipé d'une pièce d'attelage normalisée pour remorques.l
In these figures, reference 1 designates the pick-up, reference 2 the cabin and reference 3 the platform. The reference 4 designates the semi-trailer constituted in the present example by a caravan. The coupling piece 5 fixed to the base of the front front 6 of the semi-trailer 4, and developed in length is constituted by a metal piece (brand) equipped with a standardized coupling piece for trailers.
A son extrémité opposée au front avant de la semi-remorque, la pièce d'attelage 5 (timon) est pourvue de moyens d'accrochage sur des éléments fixés en 7 sur le plateau 3 du pick-up immédiatement derrière la cabine 2 ,constitués par exemple par une sphère d'attelage normalisée 50 fixée sur un bâti,lui- meme fixé sur le plateau de pick-up à l'avant de celsi-ci. At its end opposite to the front end of the semi-trailer, the coupling piece 5 (drawbar) is provided with hooking means on elements fixed at 7 on the plate 3 of the pick-up immediately behind the cab 2, constituted for example by a standard coupling sphere 50 fixed on a frame, itself fixed on the pick-up plate at the front of it.
La longueur de la pièce d'attelage 5 permet de laisser entre le front avant 6 de la seni-remorque 4 et le front arrière 8 de la cabine 2 un espace libre suffisant pour autoriser les mouvements de pivotement relatifs entre le pick-up 1 et la semi-remorque 4. Durant ces mouvements la pièce 5 passe librement au-dessus du plateau 3. Ainsi, mdme avec une cabine longue telle qu'unendouble cabine " le point d'accrochage 7 est situé à l'intérieur de l'empâtement du tracteur et nettement en avant de l'essieu arrière de ce dernier,condition très favorable assurant à la fois une amélioration de l'adhérence et de la maniabilité. The length of the coupling piece 5 allows to leave between the front front 6 of the trailer 4 and the rear front 8 of the cabin 2 sufficient free space to allow the relative pivoting movements between the pick-up 1 and the semi-trailer 4. During these movements, the part 5 passes freely over the platform 3. Thus, even with a long cabin such as a double cabin, the attachment point 7 is located inside the impasto of the tractor and clearly in front of the rear axle of the latter, a very favorable condition ensuring both improved grip and handling.
I1 importe tout particulièrement de rappeler l'avantage d'utilisation d'ordre pratique de pouvoir grâce à cette disposition, placer le point d'attelage entre tracteur et semi-remoroue immédiatement derrière le front arri-re de la cabine et permettant d'adapter le dispositif à un tick-up pourvu d'une cabine longue, telle qu'une double cabine, et par conséquent de pouvoir transporter aisément quatre ou conq personnes par exemple, sans devoir recourir a une voiture supplémentaire. On sait en effet que sauf exception aux U.S.A. notamment, il est interdit de transporter des voyageurs dans une semi-remorque. It is particularly important to recall the practical use advantage of being able, thanks to this arrangement, to place the coupling point between tractor and semi-trailer immediately behind the rear front of the cabin and making it possible to adapt the device with a tick-up provided with a long cabin, such as a double cabin, and consequently of being able to transport easily four or conq people for example, without having to resort to an additional car. We know that, with the exception of the U.S.A. in particular, it is prohibited to transport travelers in a semi-trailer.
