Abstract

The present invention relates to a hoop (1 & 11) device with articulated (8) and sliding (14 & 15 and 24 & 25) elements, which is intended to hold in place, in leaktight fashion, the canvas (7) of a dismantleable hood (2), and to stretch the said canvas (7) appropriately.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'arceaux à éléments articulés et coulissants, destiné à maintenir en place de manière étanche, la toile d'une capote démontable, et à tendre convenablement la dite toile. The present invention relates to a hoop device with articulated and sliding elements, intended to hold in place in a sealed manner, the fabric of a removable hood, and to stretch the said fabric appropriately.

Le maintien en place, position voiture couverte, d'une capote traditionnelle, généralement non démontable, est assuré par des arceaux dont les pieds sont articulés afin de rabattre ensuite vers l'arrière, position voiture découverte, l'ensemble toile et arceaux, les dits arceaux étant solidaires de la toile au moyen par exemple de fourreaux collés ou cousus sous la dite toile. Maintaining in place, covered car position, a traditional soft top, generally not removable, is ensured by arches whose feet are hinged in order to then fold backwards, uncovered car position, the canvas and arches assembly, the said hoops being integral with the canvas by means for example of sheaths glued or sewn under said canvas.

La toile, maintenue par les arceaux, est généralement tendue manuellement, à partir d'une fixation latérale inférieure constituée de boutons pression ou griffes, et à partir de fixations supérieures avant à exentrique ou comportant tout autre système de tension longitudinal à verrouillage, connus. The fabric, held by the arches, is generally stretched manually, from a lower lateral fastening consisting of snaps or claws, and from upper fastenings with eccentric or comprising any other known longitudinal locking tension system.

Les ensembles courants existants sont souvent difficiles à manoeuvrer, à fixer et à étanchéifier avec la carrosserie surtout quant il s'agit d'une adaptation de capote sur un véhicule non prévu en découvrable à l'origine de sa conception. The existing common assemblies are often difficult to maneuver, to fix and to seal with the bodywork especially when it is about an adaptation of soft top on a vehicle not foreseeable in discoverable at the origin of its design.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention permet de remédier à ces invonvénients. The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks.

I1 comporte en effet un système d'arceaux, articulés à la partie inférieure de leurs pieds, dont le premier, par rapport au poste de conduite, est solidarisé à une bavette rigide, pouvant pivoter autour du dit arceau, sur laquelle est fixée la bordure avant de la toile ; le ou les arceaux supplémentaires articulés comme le premier sont maintenus en position convenable, voiture couverte, par rapport au premier arceau, par une ou plusieurs entretoises de liaison comportant des éléments coulissants entre eux maintenus en extension maximum par un moyen pneumatique ou à ressort ; maintenus en position par leurs entretoises les dits second et/ou troisième arceaux supplémentaires ne sont pas solidaires de la toile qui de ce fait est plus facile à tendre comme à replier. I1 indeed comprises a system of arches, articulated at the lower part of their feet, the first of which, relative to the driving position, is secured to a rigid flap, which can pivot around said arch, on which the border is fixed front of the canvas; the additional hoop (s) articulated like the first are held in a suitable position, car covered, with respect to the first hoop, by one or more connecting spacers comprising sliding elements between them maintained in maximum extension by pneumatic or spring means; held in position by their spacers, the so-called second and / or third additional hoops are not integral with the fabric which is therefore easier to stretch and to fold.

Une fois les arceaux relevés vers le poste de conduite, le premier entrainant la toile de capote, une fixation de la dite toile sur l'avant de la carrosserie, devient facile par simple maintien de la dite toile, solidaire de la bavette rigide du premier arceau, en appui dans un logement d'étanchéité formant gouttière, et blocage du dit appui par une fermeture agissant de haut en bas, la partie inférieure de la capote étant rendue solidaire de la carrosserie par une fixation étanche de la toile de la dite capote dans une glissière fixée à la dite carrosserie, longitudinalement. Once the arches are raised towards the driving position, the first driving the hood fabric, fixing said fabric to the front of the body, becomes easy by simply holding said fabric, secured to the rigid mud flap of the first hoop, supported in a sealing housing forming a gutter, and blocking of said support by a closure acting from top to bottom, the lower part of the hood being made integral with the bodywork by a tight fixing of the fabric of said hood in a slide fastened to said body, longitudinally.

Pour tendre la toile de capote, dans la position voiture couverte, il suffit, en décrochant des brides de maintien, de libérer la poussée vers le haut de vérins pneumatiques ou ressorts qui entrainent l'allongement coulissant des pieds de l'un ou des arceaux supplémentaires maintenus en position convenable de poussée de bas en haut sur la dite toile par une ou plusieurs entretoises de liaison avec le premier arceau. To stretch the hood fabric, in the covered car position, it suffices, by unhooking the holding straps, to release the upward push of pneumatic cylinders or springs which cause the sliding extension of the feet of one or more roll bars additional maintained in suitable position of pushing from bottom to top on said fabric by one or more spacers connecting with the first hoop.

La manoeuvre de repliage de la toile de capote, et le rabattement des arceaux, découvrant la moitié haute de l'arrière de la carrosserie lorsque l'on dévérouillage la fermeture avant de la dite capote, sont rendus possibles et faciles par coulissement de la dite toile dans sa glissière de fixation à la carrosserie, en comprimant, au moment du rabattement des dits arceaux sur l'arrière, les entretoises télescopiques de liaison avec le premier arceau, dans la position voiture ouverte. The folding of the hood fabric, and the folding of the arches, revealing the upper half of the rear of the body when the front closure of the said hood is unlocked, are made possible and easy by sliding the said hood canvas in its fastening slide to the body, compressing, when the said hoops are folded down on the rear, the telescopic spacers connecting to the first hoop, in the open car position.

Le système de capotage amovible décrit ci-dessus, permet également, selon l'invention, un déboitage de 1'embase des pieds d'arceaux de leurs pièces d'articulation solidaires de la carrosserie ; la capote peut également se désolidariser de la carrosserie par coulissement et extraction de ses pions de fixation inférieure dans la glissière solidaire de ladite carrosserie ; les arceaux, constitués chacun de deux éléments, peuvent être emboitables et déboitables en leur milieu, l'ensemble toile et arceaux, plié dans un volume de faible encombrement, se logera très facilement dans le coffre de la voiture, cette dernière, banquette arrière enlevée, pouvant à ce moment là, se convertir en un véhicule largement ouvert. The removable hooding system described above also allows, according to the invention, a disengagement of the base of the hoop feet from their articulation parts secured to the bodywork; the hood can also be detached from the bodywork by sliding and extraction of its lower fixing pins in the slide secured to said bodywork; the hoops, each made up of two elements, can be nestable and detachable in the middle, the canvas and hoops assembly, folded in a compact volume, will fit very easily in the trunk of the car, the latter, rear seat removed , which can then convert into a widely open vehicle.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférencielle ltensemble du dispositif de capotage, et notamment les articulations d'arceaux, peut être rendu solidaire d'un encadrement tubulaire formant renfort, par boulonnage, rivetage ou collage, fixé comme le serait une rembarde, en bordure de la découpe de la moitié haute de carrosserie, derrière les portes avants ; lorsque la capote est démontée et que la banquette arrière, amovible, est enlevée le véhicule largement ouvert ainsi constitué se converti très rapidement en un véhicule appelé communément "Pick up de loisir" avec la possibilité de reconstituer aussi rapidement,après remontage des éléments déposés, une voiture de tourisme couverte et découvrable. According to a preferred embodiment, the entire hooding device, and in particular the hinge joints, can be made integral with a tubular frame forming a reinforcement, by bolting, riveting or gluing, fixed as would be a railing, at the edge of the cut-out of the upper body half, behind the front doors; when the convertible top is removed and the removable rear seat is removed, the wide open vehicle thus formed is very quickly converted into a vehicle commonly called "leisure pick up" with the possibility of reconstituting as quickly, after reassembly of the elements deposited, a covered and discoverable passenger car.
