Description

Console centrale mobile de véhicule automobile Mobile central console of a motor vehicle
La présente invention se rapporte à une console centrale mobile de véhicule automobile destinée à être installée entre deux sièges d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a mobile central console of a motor vehicle intended to be installed between two seats of a motor vehicle.
Des véhicules connus présentent des consoles centrales destinées à être montées entre deux sièges avant du véhicule ou bien entre les deux sièges arrière. Ces consoles centrales comprennent généralement un coffre dont la partie supérieure est ouverte pour donner accès à un logement situé à l'intérieur dudit coffre. Par ailleurs, usuellement ce coffre est susceptible d'être refermé grâce à un couvercle qui est monté et articulé sur le bord du coffre et qui permet d'obturer l'ouverture. En outre, des consoles centrales connues sont montées entre les deux sièges sur un plan incliné et elles sont adaptées à coulisser longitudinalement sur ce plan incliné pour ajuster la hauteur de la console. Le couvercle servant également d'accoudoir, il est ainsi aisé d'ajuster la hauteur de cet accoudoir à chaque conducteur du véhicule en faisant coulisser le coffre sur le plan incliné et de surcroît, de régler la hauteur du coffre en fonction de l'accessibilité au logement que l'on souhaite.Known vehicles have central consoles to be mounted between two front seats of the vehicle or between the two rear seats. These central consoles generally include a chest whose upper part is open to provide access to a housing located inside said chest. Furthermore, usually this chest is likely to be closed with a lid that is mounted and articulated on the edge of the box and which closes the opening. In addition, known central consoles are mounted between the two seats on an inclined plane and they are adapted to slide longitudinally on the inclined plane to adjust the height of the console. The lid also serves as an armrest, it is thus easy to adjust the height of the armrest to each driver of the vehicle by sliding the trunk on the inclined plane and, moreover, to adjust the height of the trunk according to the accessibility to the housing that we want.
On pourra notamment se référer au document EP 1 170 177, lequel décrit un tel type de console centrale.In particular, reference may be made to document EP 1 170 177, which describes such a type of central console.
En revanche, un inconvénient de ce type de console réside non seulement dans l'espace qu'il est nécessaire de réserver pour l'installer, puisqu'il faut pouvoir l'entraîner longitudinalement entre les deux sièges mais aussi dans sa longueur puisqu'elle doit être suffisamment longue pour que, malgré un déplacement longitudinal, elle soit toujours à l'aplomb du coude du conducteur pour qu'il s'y appui.On the other hand, a disadvantage of this type of console lies not only in the space that it is necessary to reserve to install it, since it is necessary to be able to train it longitudinally between the two seats but also in its length since it must be long enough so that, despite a longitudinal movement, it is always in line with the driver's elbow for support.
Aussi, un problème qui se pose et que vise à résoudre la présente invention est de fournir une console centrale qui puisse être mobile sans toutefois nécessiter un espace important. En outre, un autre problème réside dans la mise en oeuvre d'une console centrale qui puisse parfaitement s'encastrer entre les deux sièges.Also, a problem that arises and that aims to solve the present invention is to provide a central console that can be mobile without requiring a large space. In addition, another problem lies in the implementation of a central console that can perfectly fit between the two seats.
Dans le but de résoudre ce problème, l'invention propose une console centrale de véhicule automobile destinée à être installée dans un véhicule automobile, ledit véhicule comprenant deux sièges installés côte à côte, lesdits sièges présentant une assise et un dossier, ladite assise définissant un plan moyen, ladite console comprenant un coffre et un couvercle rabattable, ledit coffre étant monté mobile entre lesdites assises selon une direction sensiblement normale audit plan moyen, ledit coffre présentant en outre un logement interne et une ouverture supérieure débouchant dans ledit logement interne, ladite ouverture étant susceptible d'être obturée par ledit couvercle ; selon l'invention ledit couvercle est monté sur ledit dossier en surplomb dudit plan moyen et libre par rapport audit coffre ; et au surplus ledit coffre est mobile entre une position haute rapprochée dudit couvercle rabattu dans laquelle ladite ouverture supérieure est obturée et une position basse écartée dudit couvercle permettant de libérer au moins partiellement ladite ouverture supérieure.In order to solve this problem, the invention proposes a central console for a motor vehicle intended to be installed in a motor vehicle, said vehicle comprising two seats installed side by side, said seats having a seat and a backrest, said seat defining a medium plane, said console comprising a trunk and a folding lid, said trunk being movably mounted between said seats in a direction substantially normal to said middle plane, said trunk further having an inner housing and an upper opening opening into said inner housing, said opening; being capable of being closed by said lid; according to the invention said lid is mounted on said folder overhanging said mean and free plane relative to said chest; and in addition said chest is movable between a high position close to said lid folded in which said upper opening is closed and a low position spaced from said cover for releasing at least partially said upper opening.
Ainsi, une caractéristique de mise en oeuvre de l'invention réside dans la mise en oeuvre d'un coffre mobile uniquement selon une composante verticale au plan moyen desdites assises et non plus de deux composantes, de manière à restreindre l'espace horizontal nécessaire au coffre. En outre, le couvercle est indépendant du coffre et ainsi, quand bien même il est porté dans la position rabattue au dessus dudit coffre, le logement de ce dernier est néanmoins accessible en le portant dans sa position basse.Thus, a feature of implementation of the invention lies in the implementation of a trunk only movable in a vertical component in the mean plane of said seat and not two components, so as to restrict the horizontal space required for chest. In addition, the lid is independent of the trunk and so, even if it is worn in the folded position above said trunk, the housing of the latter is nevertheless accessible by bringing it in its low position.
Par ailleurs, et selon un mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention particulièrement avantageux ledit coffre est monté à pivotement entre lesdits sièges selon un axe de pivotement sensiblement horizontal. De la sorte, il est parfaitement encastrable entre les deux sièges au niveau de l'assise et il peut ainsi être porté entre la position haute, en saillie du plan moyen de l'assise, et la position basse enfoncée dans l'assise. Dans cette position basse, le coffre autorise sans l'entraver le pivotement éventuel du dossier contre l'assise des sièges.Moreover, and according to an embodiment of the invention particularly advantageous said chest is pivotally mounted between said seats along a substantially horizontal pivot axis. In this way, it is perfectly fit between the two seats at the seat and it can thus be worn between the upper position, projecting from the middle plane of the seat, and the lowered position in the seat. In this low position, the trunk allows without hindering the possible pivoting of the backrest against the seat cushion.
En outre, ladite assise présentant un bord avant libre opposé audit dossier, ledit coffre s'étend longitudinalement dudit bord avant jusqu'audit dossier de manière à respecter la géométrie de l'assise et à venir en affleurement dudit plan moyen dans la position basse. De plus, préférentiellement, ledit coffre est monté pivotant autour d'un arbre situé au voisinage dudit bord avant de façon que l'amplitude maximale de pivotement du coffre se situe au niveau du dossier, et que ledit couvercle qui forme un accoudoir encastrable et pivotant dans ledit dossier, puisse venir dans la position rabattue, recouvrir le coffre dans sa position haute et obturer ainsi l'ouverture.In addition, said seat having a free front edge opposite said backrest, said trunk extends longitudinally from said front edge to said backrest so as to respect the geometry of the seat and to come flush with said middle plane in the low position. In addition, preferably, said trunk is pivotally mounted around a shaft located in the vicinity of said front edge so that the maximum pivoting amplitude of the trunk is at the backrest, and said cover which forms a recessed armrest and swivel in said folder, can come in the folded position, cover the chest in its upper position and thus close the opening.
Avantageusement, la console centrale comprend des moyens de retenue pour maintenir ledit coffre bloqué en position haute, dans la position d'obturation de d'ouverture. En outre, selon un mode de mise en oeuvre particulier, les moyens de retenue permettent aussi de maintenir ledit coffre lorsqu'il est situé en dessous dudit plan moyen, dans ladite position basse. Le cas échéant, le coffre est dans cette position basse, en appui contre une paroi de plancher du véhicule automobile. D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description faite ci-après d'un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, donné à titre indicatif mais non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :Advantageously, the central console comprises retaining means for holding said safe locked in the upper position, in the open shutter position. In addition, according to a particular embodiment, the retaining means also maintain said trunk when it is located below said mean plane, in said low position. If necessary, the trunk is in this low position, resting against a floor wall of the motor vehicle. Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge on reading the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given by way of indication but not limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

La Figure 1 illustre de trois quarts avant droit une console centrale 10 installée entre deux sièges arrière 12, 14 de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile. Les deux sièges arrière 12, 14 comportent un dossier commun 16 et une assise 18 divisée en deux parties 20, 22 séparées par la console centrale 10. L'assise 18 définit un plan moyen P sensiblement horizontal. Par ailleurs, la console centrale 10 comporte un coffre 24 et un couvercle rabattable 26 formant accoudoir monté articulé sur le dossier 16, ici rabattu sur le coffre 24. Le couvercle rabattable 26 est aussi adapté à venir dans un évidement 28 ménagé dans ce dossier, et ce dans une position escamotée. On notera que le coffre 24 est sur cette figure 1 en position haute. Les deux parties 20, 22 de l'assise 18 présentent un bord avant libre 30 opposé à un bord à arrière 32 qui rejoint une base du dossier 16, et le coffre 24 s'étend longitudinalement entre les deux parties 20, 22 depuis leur bord avant libre 30 jusqu'au bord arrière 32. Sur la figure 1 , le coffre 24 présente un premier logement 34 ouvert dans la partie supérieure et situé au voisinage des bords avant libres 30. Il comporte en outre un second logement 36 qui apparaît alors sur la figure 2 et dont l'ouverture 38 est obturée par le couvercle rabattable 26 sur la figure 1.Figure 1 illustrates three quarters right front center console 10 installed between two rear seats 12, 14 of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The two rear seats 12, 14 comprise a common backrest 16 and a seat 18 divided into two parts 20, 22 separated by the central console 10. The seat 18 defines a substantially horizontal plane P substantially horizontal. Furthermore, the central console 10 comprises a trunk 24 and a folding lid 26 forming an armrest mounted articulated on the backrest 16, here folded on the trunk 24. The folding lid 26 is also adapted to come into a recess 28 formed in this folder, and this in a retracted position. Note that the chest 24 is in this figure 1 in the high position. The two parts 20, 22 of the seat 18 have a free front edge 30 opposite a rear edge 32 which joins a base of the backrest 16, and the trunk 24 extends longitudinally between the two parts 20, 22 from their edge free front 30 to the rear edge 32. In Figure 1, the trunk 24 has a first housing 34 open in the upper part and located in the vicinity of the free front edges 30. It further comprises a second housing 36 which then appears on FIG. 2, the opening 38 of which is closed by the folding lid 26 in FIG.
On se reportera à la figure 2 pour décrire plus en détail le coffre 24. Il s'étend longitudinalement en s'évasant depuis une partie avant 40 arrondie jusqu'à une partie arrière 42. La partie avant 40 est susceptible d'être montée articulée autour d'un axe transversal A qui s'étend sensiblement parallèlement et au voisinage du bord avant libre 30 des deux parties 20, 22 de l'assise 18 illustrées sur la figure 1. Cet axe transversal A traverse la base de la partie avant 40 et permet ainsi de faire pivoter le coffre 24 selon la flèche R. On retrouve également sur la figure 2 le premier logement 34 séparé du second logement par une cloison 44 au niveau de laquelle vient se rabattre l'extrémité du couvercle rabattable 26 ; le premier logement 34 restant ouvert librement quelle que soit la position du couvercle rabattable 26. Compte tenu de la forme évasée du coffre 24, le second logement qui s'étend sensiblement sur une demie longueur du coffre 24 est sensiblement plus profond et peut donc recevoir des objets plus volumineux. En outre, et de façon avantageuse, le second logement 36 présente un fond ouvert 46 débouchant en regard d'une paroi de fond du plancher du véhicule automobile. Ainsi, en prévoyant un réceptacle entre les deux parties 20, 22 dans lequel vient s'encastrer le coffre 24, le réceptacle étant alors en appui contre ladite paroi de fond, le volume du second logement 36 est alors modulable.Referring to Figure 2 to describe in more detail the trunk 24. It extends longitudinally flaring from a rounded front portion 40 to a rear portion 42. The front portion 40 is articulately mountable around a transverse axis A which extends substantially parallel and in the vicinity of the free front edge 30 of the two parts 20, 22 of the seat 18 shown in Figure 1. This transverse axis A passes through the base of the front portion 40 and thus makes it possible to rotate the box 24 along the arrow R. There is also in FIG. 2 the first housing 34 separated from the second housing by a partition 44 at which the end of the lid is folded down. folding 26; the first housing 34 remaining freely open regardless of the position of the folding lid 26. Given the flared shape of the trunk 24, the second housing which extends substantially over a half length of the trunk 24 is substantially deeper and can therefore receive larger objects. In addition, and advantageously, the second housing 36 has an open bottom 46 opening facing a bottom wall of the floor of the motor vehicle. Thus, by providing a receptacle between the two parts 20, 22 which is embedded in the trunk 24, the receptacle then being supported against said bottom wall, the volume of the second housing 36 is then adjustable.
Aussi, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1 où le coffre 24 est dans la position haute et dans laquelle le volume du second logement 36 est maximal, le coffre 24 va pouvoir pivoter dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre pour venir s'enfoncer entre les deux parties 20, 22 d'assise 18 en s'écartant du couvercle rabattable 26 et en libérant par là même l'ouverture 38 du second logement 36. Le couvercle rabattable 26 demeure alors dans sa position d'origine de service sensiblement horizontale et en surplomb de l'assise 18 et il est maintenu dans cette position par des moyens de blocage non représentés et constitués essentiellement d'une butée située près de son axe de pivotement. En outre, le coffre 24 comporte des moyens de retenue non représentés formant des clips et destinés à coopérer avec des moyens de réception fixés sous le couvercle rabattable 26 afin de pouvoir l'y rattacher en position haute. Ainsi, ce n'est pas le coffre 24 qui supporte le couvercle rabattable 26 mais bien l'inverse lorsqu'il est porté dans une position haute.Also, as shown in Figure 1 where the trunk 24 is in the high position and in which the volume of the second housing 36 is maximum, the trunk 24 will be able to rotate clockwise to come s' pushing between the two parts 20, 22 of the seat 18 away from the folding lid 26 and thereby releasing the opening 38 of the second housing 36. The folding lid 26 then remains in its original service position substantially horizontal and overhanging the seat 18 and is held in this position by locking means not shown and consist essentially of a stop located near its pivot axis. In addition, the trunk 24 comprises unrepresented retaining means forming clips and intended to cooperate with receiving means fixed under the flip cover 26 to be able to attach it in the upper position. Thus, it is not the trunk 24 which supports the folding lid 26 but the opposite when it is worn in a high position.
En revanche, lorsque le coffre 24 est enfoncé entre les deux parties 20, 22, dans une position dite basse, il vient en affleurement de ces deux parties et il est maintenu dans cette position en appui contre ladite paroi de fond non représentée ou de manière préférée, dans le fond du réceptacle précité. De la sorte, l'ouverture 38 est libérée et on peut accéder librement au second logement 36 sous le couvercle rabattable 26. En revanche, le volume du second logement 36 a lui été réduit d'autant, le coffre 24 ayant coulissé dans le réceptacle jusqu'à son fond.On the other hand, when the box 24 is pressed between the two parts 20, 22, in a so-called low position, it comes flush with these two parts and is held in this position in abutment against said bottom wall, not shown, or preferred, in the bottom of the aforementioned receptacle. In this way, the opening 38 is released and can freely access the second housing 36 under the folding lid 26. In contrast, the volume of the second housing 36 has been reduced accordingly, the trunk 24 having slid into the receptacle to its bottom.
En outre, lorsque le coffre 24 demeure dans cette position basse et que le couvercle rabattable 26 est pivoté et escamoté dans l'évidement 28 du dossier 16, ce dernier peut alors, s'il est monté pivotant, être rabattu contre l'assise 18 sans que, ni le couvercle rabattable 26, ni le coffre 24 de l'entrave. On pourra se référer maintenant à la figure 4, illustrant une telle situation où les sièges arrière sont disposés dans une position dite « en break ». On y retrouve le coffre 24, ici encastré entre les deux parties 20, 22 non illustrées, et présentant le premier logement 34 et le second logement 36. Par ailleurs, le couvercle rabattable 26 est bien encastré dans l'évidement 28 du dossier 16 lequel est rabattu contre l'assise 18 et par la même sur le coffre 24. In addition, when the trunk 24 remains in this low position and the folding lid 26 is pivoted and retracted in the recess 28 of the backrest 16, the latter can, if it is pivotally mounted, be folded against the seat 18 without, neither the folding lid 26 nor the trunk 24 of the obstacle. We can refer now to Figure 4, illustrating such a situation where the rear seats are arranged in a position called "break". There is found the chest 24, here recessed between the two parts 20, 22 not shown, and having the first housing 34 and the second housing 36. Furthermore, the folding lid 26 is well embedded in the recess 28 of the folder 16 which is folded against the seat 18 and by the same on the trunk 24.
