SELECTEUR DE BOITE A VITESSES ANTIVOL POUR VEHICULE
AUTOMOBILE.ANTITHEFT GEARBOX SELECTOR FOR VEHICLE
AUTOMOTIVE.
L'invention concerne un sélecteur de boite à vitesses perfectionné formant antivol pour véhicule automobile. The invention relates to an improved gearbox selector forming an anti-theft device for a motor vehicle.
Comme malheureusement on le sait, de plus en plus, les véhicules automobiles sont l'objet de vols fréquents. On a donc été amenés à imaginer plusieurs types de systèmes antivol. As we know, more and more, motor vehicles are subject to frequent theft. We were therefore led to imagine several types of anti-theft systems.
On a tout d'abord proposé des systèmes mécaniques, tels que par exemple ceux qui visent à bloquer par une serrure la colonne de direction. Cette disposition, bien que largement répandue,n'est pas toujours très efficace, car, en agissant violemment sur le volant, le voleur peut fracturer le dispositif de blocage. First of all, mechanical systems have been proposed, such as for example those which aim to lock the steering column with a lock. This provision, although widely used, is not always very effective because, by acting violently on the steering wheel, the thief can fracture the locking device.
On a alors suggéré de relier par un crochet le volant soit à la pédale de frein soit au levier du sélecteur de boite à vitesses. Cette disposition présente toutefois l'inconvénient d'être visible et d'etre facile à scier ou à faire sauter. It was then suggested to hook the steering wheel either to the brake pedal or to the gearbox selector lever. However, this arrangement has the disadvantage of being visible and of being easy to saw or to jump.
Récemment, on a proposé des systèmes électroniques qui ont l'inconvénient d'être coûteux et fragiles. Recently, electronic systems have been proposed which have the disadvantage of being expensive and fragile.
L'invention pallie ces inconvénients. Elle vise un dispositif antivol pour véhicule automobile qui soit simple à réaliser, facile à mettre en oeuvre, tout en restant assez efficace, et qui soit en relation avec le sélecteur. de boite à vitesses. The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates to an anti-theft device for a motor vehicle which is simple to produce, easy to implement, while remaining fairly effective, and which is linked to the selector. gearbox.
Ce sélecteur de boite à vitesses antivol perfectionné pour véhicule automobile, du type constitué par
- un levier et son pommeau de manoeuvre destiné à être actionné par le conducteur
- un moyen d'articulation dudit levier par rapport à un plan
- un organe solidaire du levier et du moyen d'articulation, pour transmettre les déplacements du levier à la commande de la boite à vitesses, se caractérise en ce que le levier de manoeuvre est constitué en deux parties séparables dont les extrémités sont emboitées entre elles.This improved anti-theft gearbox selector for a motor vehicle, of the type constituted by
- a lever and its operating knob intended to be actuated by the driver
a means of articulation of said lever with respect to a plane
- a member secured to the lever and the articulation means, for transmitting the movements of the lever when controlling the gearbox, is characterized in that the operating lever is made up of two separable parts, the ends of which are fitted together .
En d'autres termes, le dispositif antivol selon l'invention consiste à réaliser le levier de manoeuvre du sélecteur de vitesses en deux parties distinctes, emboîtées entre elles mais séparables sous l'effet d'une action volontaire de dégagement vers le haut. In other words, the anti-theft device according to the invention consists in producing the operating lever of the gear selector in two distinct parts, fitted together but separable under the effect of a voluntary upward release action.
Ainsi, en cours de fonctionnement habituel, les deux parties étant emboitées entre elles, l'ensemble se comporte comme un levier usuel de sélecteur. En revanche, à l'arrêt, lorsque le conducteur désire mettre son véhicule en sécurité, il lui suffit de retirer la partie supérieure amovible du levier pour rendre le véhicule difficilement utilisable.Thus, during normal operation, the two parts being fitted together, the assembly behaves like a conventional selector lever. On the other hand, when stationary, when the driver wishes to put his vehicle in safety, he only has to remove the removable upper part of the lever to make the vehicle difficult to use.
Avantageusement, en pratique
- chaque extrémité des deux parties constitutives du levier présente un emboitement mâle ou femelle et un organe de maintien
- cet organe de maintien est constitué par une bille poussée par un ressort, disposée sur l'extrémité mâle, alors que la bille vient se loger dans une gorge prévue à cet effet dans l'extrémité femelle
- les extrémités mâle et femelle qui s'emboitent entre elles ont une section carrée
- la jonction d'emmanchement est disposée juste en dessous du plancher ou de la console qui reçoit le levier de manoeuvre
- le plan (plancher, console) comporte un couvercle articulé ou emboitable destiné à venir recouvrir la partie du levier solidaire du moyen d'articulation, lorsque l'on a retiré l'autre partie amovible
- le couvercle articulé comporte également un moyen de verrouillage sur le plan (plancher, console), tel que par exemple une serrure.Advantageously, in practice
- each end of the two constituent parts of the lever has a male or female socket and a holding member
- This holding member is constituted by a ball pushed by a spring, arranged on the male end, while the ball is housed in a groove provided for this purpose in the female end
- the male and female ends which fit together have a square section
- the fitting junction is arranged just below the floor or the console which receives the operating lever
- The plan (floor, console) has a hinged or nestable cover intended to cover the part of the lever secured to the articulation means, when the other removable part has been removed
- The hinged cover also includes a locking means on the plane (floor, console), such as for example a lock.
La manière dont l'invention peut être réalisée et les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront mieux de l'exemple de réalisation qui suit donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif à l'appui des figures annexées. The manner in which the invention can be implemented and the advantages which ensue therefrom will emerge more clearly from the example of embodiment which follows, given by way of indication and without limitation in support of the appended figures.
La figure 1 est une vue en coupe sommaire d'un sélecteur classique de boite à vitesses modifié conformément à l'invention. Figure 1 is a summary sectional view of a conventional gearbox selector modified according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue grossie des éléments caractéristiques de l'invention. Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the characteristic elements of the invention.
La figure 3 est une vue de dessus.du sélecteur montré en position levier escamoté. Figure 3 is a top view of the selector shown in the retracted lever position.
Comme on le sait, un sélecteur de boite à vitesses pour véhicule automobile se compose essentiellement d'un levier désigné par la référence générale (1) dont l'extrémité libre supérieure comporte un pommeau de manoeuvre (2) destiné à être actionné par le conducteur. As is known, a gearbox selector for a motor vehicle essentially consists of a lever designated by the general reference (1) whose upper free end comprises an operating knob (2) intended to be actuated by the driver .
Ce levier (1) qui dépasse du plan de référence (3), tel que le plancher du véhicule ou la console qui reçoit le sélecteur (1), est solidaire d'un moyen d'articulation (4) constitué par exemple, soit par une rotule, soit par un orifice comme montré sur la figure 1 ou tout autre moyen équivalent. Le levier (1) et l'organe d'articulation (4) sont également solidaires d'un second levier (5) destine à transmettre les déplacements du levier (1) à la prise de commande (6) de la boite à vitesses non représentée, telle que par exemple à une tringlerie ou à des fourchettes.This lever (1) which protrudes from the reference plane (3), such as the vehicle floor or the console which receives the selector (1), is secured to an articulation means (4) constituted for example, either by a ball joint, either through an orifice as shown in Figure 1 or any other equivalent means. The lever (1) and the articulation member (4) are also integral with a second lever (5) intended to transmit the movements of the lever (1) to the control socket (6) of the non-gearbox. shown, such as for example a linkage or forks.
Selon la caractéristique de l'invention, le levier (1) est formé en deux parties distinctes, respectivement (10) (partie supérieure amovible) et (11) (partie inférieure solidaire de (4)). La jonction (12) entre ces deux parties est située juste en dessous du plan (3). According to the characteristic of the invention, the lever (1) is formed in two distinct parts, respectively (10) (removable upper part) and (11) (lower part integral with (4)). The junction (12) between these two parts is located just below the plane (3).
L'extrémité inférieure (13) de la partie amovible (10) présente un carré mâle (14) dans lequel est ménagé un fraisage (15 > - destiné à recevoir une bille de maintien (16) et son ressort (17) (voir figure 2). En regard de cet ensemble, l'extrémité supérieure (18) de la partie fixe (11) du levier (1) comporte une extrémité femelle (19) de section également carrée correspondant à la section de la partie mâle (14), de manière à permettre l'emboîtage précis. Une des faces inférieures du carré (19) comporte un logement (20) destiné à recevoir la bille de maintien (16).The lower end (13) of the removable part (10) has a male square (14) in which is formed a milling (15> - intended to receive a retaining ball (16) and its spring (17) (see figure 2). Opposite this assembly, the upper end (18) of the fixed part (11) of the lever (1) comprises a female end (19) of also square section corresponding to the section of the male part (14). One of the lower faces of the square (19) has a housing (20) intended to receive the retaining ball (16).
Comme déjà dit, l'extrémité de la partie fixe (11) est disposée au dessous du plan (3) constitué soit par le plancher soit par la console. As already said, the end of the fixed part (11) is arranged below the plane (3) formed either by the floor or by the console.
Dans une version avantageuse, le plancher ou la console (3) présente également un couvercle rab attable ou encastrable (21), par exemple articulé sur le plancher autour d'une charnière (22) comportant à une autre extrémité une serrure (23) actionnable par une clé (24), destinée à venir coopérer avec un point d'ancrage approprié (25) prévu sur le plancher (3) ou la console. In an advantageous version, the floor or the console (3) also has an attable or built-in rab cover (21), for example articulated on the floor around a hinge (22) comprising at another end an actuable lock (23) by a key (24), intended to come to cooperate with an appropriate anchoring point (25) provided on the floor (3) or the console.
En position normale, la partie escamotable (10) est emboitée dans la partie fixe (11) et l'ensemble est consolidé grâce à la coopération de la bille de maintien (16) et de l'ergot (20). Ainsi, l'ensemble (10,11) se comporte comme un levier unitaire usuel.In the normal position, the retractable part (10) is fitted into the fixed part (11) and the assembly is consolidated thanks to the cooperation of the retaining ball (16) and the lug (20). Thus, the assembly (10,11) behaves like a usual unitary lever.
Lorsque le conducteur désire mettre son véhicule en sécurité, il lui suffit, par un mouvement vers le haut comme indiqué par la flèche F, de désengager la bille (16) de l'ergot (20), ce qui libère ainsi la partie amovible (10) du levier (1). A ce moment, il lui suffit ensuite de rabattre ou d'encastrer le couvercle (21) puis d'assurer la fermeture de celui-ci par la serrure (23,25). Avantageusement, la surface du couvercle (21) est recouverte du même matériau que l'habillement intérieur du véhicule. Dans ces conditions, on ne voit plus le levier de manoeuvre du sélecteur. When the driver wishes to put his vehicle in safety, it suffices for him, by an upward movement as indicated by the arrow F, to disengage the ball (16) from the lug (20), which thus frees the removable part ( 10) of the lever (1). At this time, it then suffices to fold or embed the cover (21) and then to ensure that it is closed by the lock (23,25). Advantageously, the surface of the cover (21) is covered with the same material as the interior trim of the vehicle. Under these conditions, we no longer see the selector operating lever.
Le véhicule se trouve ainsi en sécurité. The vehicle is thus safe.
En effet, si par aventure, un voleur pénètre néanmoins dans le véhicule, ne voyant pas de levier de sélecteur, il pensera avoir à faire à un véhicule à boite automatique. S'il peut faire démarrer le moteur, il ne pourra avancer. Par sécurité, avant de refermer le couvercle (21), le conducteur peut prendre soin d'engager la marche arrière. Ainsi, même .si le voleur fait démarrer le véhicule, il ne pourra se déplacer qu'en marche arrière, ce qui très rapidement, deviendra suspect. Indeed, if by adventure, a thief nevertheless enters the vehicle, not seeing a selector lever, he will think he is dealing with a vehicle with an automatic gearbox. If he can start the engine, he will not be able to move forward. For safety, before closing the cover (21), the driver can take care to engage reverse gear. Thus, even if the thief starts the vehicle, he can only move in reverse, which very quickly becomes suspect.
Pour accentuer l'égarement du voleur potentiel, on peut également ménager sur la colonne de direction ou encore sur le plancher du véhicule un faux levier de manoeuvre. To accentuate the loss of the potential thief, it is also possible to provide a false operating lever on the steering column or even on the vehicle floor.
Le dispositif antivol selon l'invention est simple, fiable, efficace, car dissuasif et peu coûteux. The anti-theft device according to the invention is simple, reliable, effective, as a deterrent and inexpensive.
De la sorte, il peut être utilisé avec succès sur tous les véhicules, notamment les voitures particulières équipés d'un levier de sélecteur de boite à vitesses disposé au plancher ou sur une console. In this way, it can be successfully used on all vehicles, in particular passenger cars fitted with a gearbox selector lever placed on the floor or on a console.
