Description
Fourgon à parois latérales ngldes et à pavillon rehaussable
La présente invention concerne un fourgon à parois latérales rigides et à pavillon rehaussable.Van with side walls and raised roof
The present invention relates to a van with rigid side walls and a raising roof.
Il existe à ltheure actuelle de nombreux types de véhicules de transport comportant un pavillon rehaussable permettant si besoin est d'accroître le volume de chargement disponible. Le plus souvent, ce pavillon rehaussable est simplement constitué par une armature rigide pourvue d'un revêtement souple et il est donc particulièrement bien adapté aux véhicules dont les parois latérales sont également constituées par un revêtement souple du type bâche. Il suffit en effet dans ce cas de prévoir en partie basse des soufflets équivalent à la capacité de rehaussement du pavillon pour assurer une bonne étanchéité de l'ensemble. There are currently many types of transport vehicles with a raising roof, allowing if necessary to increase the load volume available. Most often, this raising flag is simply constituted by a rigid frame provided with a flexible coating and it is therefore particularly well suited to vehicles whose side walls are also constituted by a flexible covering of the tarpaulin type. It suffices in this case to provide bellows in the lower part equivalent to the raising capacity of the roof to ensure good sealing of the assembly.
Toutefois, une telle disposition n'est plus possible lorsqu'il s'agit d'un fourgon à parois latérales rigides. However, such an arrangement is no longer possible when it is a van with rigid side walls.
La présente invention a donc pour but principal de remédier à cet inconvénient et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un fourgon à parois latérales rigides et à pavillon rehaussable qui se caractérise essentiellement en ce que le pavillon est constitué d'une partie supérieure formant toit et de deux panneaux latéraux venant recouvrir partiellement les parois latérales rigides du fourgon sur l'extérieur, la solidarisation des panneaux latéraux du pavillon avec les parois latérales du fourgon étant assurée par des moyens magnétiques. The main object of the present invention is therefore to remedy this drawback and, to do this, it relates to a van with rigid side walls and with a raising roof which is essentially characterized in that the roof consists of an upper part forming roof and two side panels partially covering the rigid side walls of the van on the outside, the side panels of the roof are joined to the side walls of the van by magnetic means.
Dans une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, les moyens magnétiques sont constitués par des plaques métalliques et des aimants répartis sur la longueur du fourgon et fixés respectivement aux parois latérales du fourgon et aux panneaux latéraux du pavillon. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the magnetic means consist of metal plates and magnets distributed over the length of the van and fixed respectively to the side walls of the van and to the side panels of the roof.
Ainsi, les panneaux latéraux du pavillon sont toujours parfaitement plaqués sur les parois latérales du fourgon et assurent donc une bonne étanchéité en toute circonstance, même lorsque ces panneaux sont réalisés en un matériau relativement mince du fait des contraintes du code de la route qui impose, pour les véhicules de ce type, une largeur hors tout maximum. Thus, the side panels of the roof are always perfectly plated on the side walls of the van and therefore ensure a good seal in all circumstances, even when these panels are made of a relatively thin material due to the constraints of the highway code which imposes, for vehicles of this type, a maximum overall width.
De préférence, un joint en caoutchouc est fixé longitudinalement en partie basse sur la face interne de chacun des panneaux latéraux, afin de parfaire l'étanchéité à ce niveau. Preferably, a rubber seal is fixed longitudinally in the lower part on the internal face of each of the side panels, in order to perfect the seal at this level.
Une forme d'exécution de l'invention est décrite ci-après à titre d'exemple, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue simplifiée en perspective avec arrachement partiel d'un fourgon conforme à l'invention ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale de l'une des parois latérales de ce fourgon.An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
- Figure 1 is a simplified perspective view with partial cutaway of a van according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of one of the side walls of this van.
Le fourgon représenté sur la figure 1 est du type à parois latérales rigides et se compose de façon classique d'un châssis 1 muni d'un train de roulement 2 et supportant deux poteaux fixes avant 3, deux poteaux fixes arrière 4 et deux poteaux fixes intermédiaires 5. Entre les poteaux fixes sont disposées des parois rigides 6 réalisées en une matière plastique composite ayant une certaine épaisseur de par exemple 21 mm. The van shown in FIG. 1 is of the type with rigid lateral walls and is conventionally composed of a chassis 1 provided with a running gear 2 and supporting two fixed front posts 3, two rear fixed posts 4 and two fixed posts intermediaries 5. Between the fixed posts are arranged rigid walls 6 made of a composite plastic material having a certain thickness of for example 21 mm.
Bien entendu, sur la face arrière du fourgon, non visible sur la figure, il est prévu au moins une porte donnant accès à l'intérieur.Of course, on the rear face of the van, not visible in the figure, there is provided at least one door giving access to the interior.
Conformément à l'invention, le fourgon est également équipé d'un pavillon rehaussable permettant d'augmenter le volume de chargement intérieur. Ce pavillon rehaussable est essentiellement constitué ici d'une partie supérieure 7 formant toit rigide et de deux panneaux latéraux 8 venant recouvrir partiellement les parois latérales 6 du fourgon sur l'extérieur. A l'avant, le pavillon est solidaire d'un panneau métallique rehaussable 12 recouvrant la face avant du fourgon, tandis que sur la face arrière, l'ouverture dégagée lors du rehaussement du pavillon est normalement obturée par une bâche du type store. According to the invention, the van is also equipped with a raising roof allowing the interior loading volume to be increased. This raising flag is essentially constituted here by an upper part 7 forming a rigid roof and two side panels 8 partially covering the side walls 6 of the van on the outside. At the front, the roof is secured to a raising metal panel 12 covering the front face of the van, while on the rear face, the opening cleared when the roof is raised is normally closed by a tarpaulin of the awning type.
Il n'est pas possible de réduire impunément la largeur intérieure du fourgon, car on doit pouvoir y palettiser les marchandises à transporter dans des conditions acceptables. Par ailleurs, le code de la route impose une largeur hors tout des fourgons de 2,55 m. Dans ces conditions, si le toit rigide 7 du pavillon peut être réalisé en un matériau composite ayant une épaisseur suffisante, comme pour les parois latérales 6 du fourgon, il n'est est pas de même en ce qui concerne les panneaux latéraux 8. It is not possible to reduce the interior width of the van with impunity, because it must be possible to palletize the goods to be transported there in acceptable conditions. In addition, the highway code imposes an overall width of vans of 2.55 m. Under these conditions, if the rigid roof 7 of the roof can be made of a composite material having a sufficient thickness, as for the side walls 6 of the van, it is not the same as regards the side panels 8.
En pratique, ces panneaux latéraux 8 doivent être réalisés avec un matériau composite n'ayant pas une épaisseur supérieure à environ 7 mm. Ils ne présentent pas alors une rigidité suffisante dans les conditions d'utilisation pour assurer une bonne étanchéité de l'ensemble, surtout si l'on tient compte du fait qu'ils s'étendent sur environ 13,50 m de long. In practice, these side panels 8 must be made with a composite material not having a thickness greater than about 7 mm. They do not then have sufficient rigidity under the conditions of use to ensure a good seal of the assembly, especially if one takes into account the fact that they extend over approximately 13.50 m in length.
Cest pourquoi, conformément à l'invention, des moyens magnétiques sont prévus pour assurer la solidarisation des panneaux latéraux 8 du pavillon sur les parois latérales 6 du fourgon. Dans l'exemple de réalisation particulier décrit ici, ces moyens magnétiques sont constitués par des plaques d'acier galvanisé 9 fixées de place en place sur la face externe des parois latérales 6 et coopérant avec des aimants 10 fixés sur la face interne des panneaux latéraux 8. De préférence, les couples plaque d'acier 9aimant 10 sont uniformément répartis à intervalles réguliers sur toute la longueur du fourgon. De plus, les hauteurs respectives des plaques d'acier 10 et des aimants 10 sont telles que les aimants 10 restent en contact avec les plaques d'acier 10 pour toute position du pavillon rehaussable. Enfin, un joint en caoutchouc 11 est prévu en partie basse sur la face interne des panneaux latéraux 8 afin d'assurer une étanchéité avec les parois latérales 6. This is why, in accordance with the invention, magnetic means are provided for securing the side panels 8 of the roof to the side walls 6 of the van. In the particular embodiment described here, these magnetic means consist of galvanized steel plates 9 fixed from place to place on the external face of the side walls 6 and cooperating with magnets 10 fixed on the internal face of the side panels 8. Preferably, the steel plate 9 magnet 10 pairs are uniformly distributed at regular intervals over the entire length of the van. In addition, the respective heights of the steel plates 10 and the magnets 10 are such that the magnets 10 remain in contact with the steel plates 10 for any position of the raising flag. Finally, a rubber seal 11 is provided in the lower part on the internal face of the side panels 8 in order to ensure a seal with the side walls 6.
Grâce à l'effet d'attraction magnétique entre les plaques d'acier 9 et les aimants 10, les panneaux latéraux 8 du pavillon rehaussable sont toujours parfaitement plaqués sur les parois latérales 6 du fourgon, même en présence d'un vent violent, ce qui assure, conjointement avec le joint élastique 11, une excellente étanchéité de l'ensemble en toute circonstance. Thanks to the magnetic attraction effect between the steel plates 9 and the magnets 10, the side panels 8 of the raising roof are always perfectly pressed against the side walls 6 of the van, even in the presence of a strong wind, this which ensures, together with the elastic seal 11, excellent sealing of the assembly in all circumstances.
