Description

Planche de bord de véhicule automobile  Dashboard of a motor vehicle
La présente invention se rapporte à une planche de bord de véhicule automobile permettant de faciliter le montage d'un boîtier de compteur. The present invention relates to a dashboard of a motor vehicle for facilitating the mounting of a meter housing.
Les planches de bord comprennent un logement interne apte de recevoir le compteur et une coiffe formant la paroi supérieure externe des planches de bord. Une ouverture transversale, généralement oblongue, est ménagée dans la coiffe de manière à pouvoir observer le compteur à travers cette ouverture. Les planches de bord comprennent également une visière solidaire de la coiffe et destinée à venir s'étendre en surplomb de l'ouverture transversale. La visière permet d'atténuer la luminosité en avant du compteur pour une lecture plus distincte.  The dashboards include an inner housing adapted to receive the meter and a cap forming the outer upper wall of the dashboards. A transverse opening, generally oblong, is formed in the cap so as to observe the meter through this opening. The dashboards also include a visor integral with the cap and intended to extend overhanging the transverse opening. The visor reduces the brightness ahead of the meter for a more distinct reading.
Usuellement, la visière formée d'une seule pièce est montée de manière amovible sur la coiffe et elle présente une partie supérieure et deux parties latérales opposées. L'ouverture transversale, quant à elle, présente deux extrémités latérales opposées et les parties latérales opposées de la visière viennent respectivement recouvrir au moins partiellement les deux extrémités latérales opposées. Aussi, le compteur, qui comprend un boîtier longitudinal et des pattes de fixation installées à chacune de ses extrémités latérales, peut être installé dans le logement interne à travers l'ouverture transversale, avant que la visière ne soit montée sur la coiffe. Il y est alors maintenu en position fixe par l'intermédiaire des pattes de fixation. Ensuite, la visière est montée tandis que les deux parties latérales de la visière recouvrent les deux extrémités latérales de l'ouverture transversale et viennent ainsi masquer les pattes de fixation du compteur.  Usually, the one-piece visor is removably mounted on the cap and has an upper portion and two opposing side portions. The transverse opening, in turn, has two opposite lateral ends and the opposite side portions of the visor respectively cover at least partially the two opposite lateral ends. Also, the meter, which comprises a longitudinal housing and fastening tabs installed at each of its lateral ends, can be installed in the inner housing through the transverse opening, before the visor is mounted on the cap. It is then held in a fixed position by means of the fixing lugs. Then, the visor is mounted while the two side portions of the visor cover the two lateral ends of the transverse opening and thus hide the tabs of the counter.
Cependant, la mise en œuvre d'une visière démontable dégrade l'impression de robustesse de l'architecture de l'habitacle. Aussi, il a été imaginé de réaliser la visière et la coiffe en une seule pièce. Toutefois, un tel montage ne permet pas d'installer aisément le compteur, et ce, d'autant plus, lorsque l'ouverture transversale oblongue est relativement étroite.  However, the implementation of a removable visor degrades the impression of robustness of the architecture of the cabin. Also, it was imagined to make the visor and the cap in one piece. However, such an assembly does not allow to easily install the counter, and this, especially when the oblong transverse opening is relatively narrow.
Aussi, un problème qui se pose et que vise à résoudre la présente invention est de fourn ir une planche de bord conférant à l'habitacle une sensation de robustesse tout en permettant d'y installer un compteur du type précité. Also, a problem that arises and that aims to solve the present invention is to provide ir a dashboard conferring to the cockpit a feeling of robustness while allowing to install a meter of the aforementioned type.
Dans ce but, la présente invention propose une planche de bord de véhicule automobile comprenant un logement interne apte à recevoir un compteur et une coiffe présentant une ouverture transversale, ladite coiffe étant destinée à recouvrir ledit logement de manière à pouvoir visualiser ledit compteur à travers ladite ouverture transversale, ledit compteur comprenant un boîtier s'étendant transversalement et des pattes de fixation montées à chacune des extrémités latérales dudit boîtier, ladite ouverture transversale présentant deux extrémités latérales opposées, ladite planche de bord comprenant en outre une visière solidaire de ladite coiffe, ladite visière comportant une partie supérieure s'étendant en surplomb de ladite ouverture transversale et deux parties latérales opposées l'une de l'autre destinées à venir recouvrir respectivement lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées de ladite ouverture transversale. Selon l'invention, ladite partie supérieure de ladite visière et ladite coiffe sont formées ensemble d'une seule pièce, tandis que lesdites deux parties latérales opposées sont montées de manière amovible pour pouvoir libérer lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées de ladite ouverture transversale lorsque lesdites deux parties latérales opposées sont démontées ; et ledit compteur est apte à être porté à travers ladite ouverture transversale en engageant respectivement lesdites pattes de fixation simultanément à travers lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées pour pouvoir installer ledit compteur à l'intérieur dudit logement interne.  For this purpose, the present invention proposes a dashboard of a motor vehicle comprising an inner housing adapted to receive a counter and a cap having a transverse opening, said cap being intended to cover said housing so as to be able to visualize said counter through said transverse opening, said counter comprising a casing extending transversely and fixing tabs mounted at each of the lateral ends of said casing, said transverse opening having two opposite lateral ends, said dashboard further comprising a visor integral with said cap, said visor comprising an upper portion extending overlying said transverse opening and two opposite side portions of each other intended to respectively cover said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening. According to the invention, said upper part of said visor and said cap are formed together in one piece, while said two opposite side parts are removably mounted to be able to release said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening when said two opposite side parts are disassembled; and said counter is adapted to be carried through said transverse opening by respectively engaging said fasteners simultaneously through said two opposite lateral ends to be able to install said counter within said inner housing.
Ainsi, une caractéristique de l'invention réside dans la mise en œuvre d'une visière dont la partie supérieure forme une seule pièce avec la coiffe et dont les deux parties latérales opposées, de chaque côté de la partie supérieure, sont amovibles. De la sorte, la planche de bord offre une plus grande sensation de robustesse. Aussi, ladite coiffe et ladite partie supérieure de visière forment deux échancrures latérales, de chaque côté de la partie supérieure, autorisant l'engagement desdites pattes de fixation à travers lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées. Les deux parties latérales opposées viennent alors s'engager ensuite de manière complémentaire dans les échancrures latérales, comme on l'expliquera plus en détail ci-après. Thus, a feature of the invention lies in the implementation of a visor whose upper part forms a single piece with the cap and whose two opposite side parts, on each side of the upper part, are removable. In this way, the dashboard offers a greater feeling of robustness. Also, said cap and said upper visor portion form two lateral notches, on each side of the upper part, allowing the engagement of said fastening tabs through said two opposite lateral ends. The two side parts opposite then come then engage in a complementary manner in the lateral notches, as will be explained in more detail below.
En effet, avant l'installation du compteur, les parties latérales de visière sont retirées pour laisser libres les échancrures latérales. Ces deux échancrures latérales, de chaque côté de la partie supérieure de visière s'étendent en regard des deux extrémités latérales opposées de l'ouverture transversale, aussi, lorsque le compteur est porté à travers l'ouverture transversale, les pattes de fixation peuvent être engagées simultanément respectivement à travers les échancrures et les extrémités latérales opposées de l'ouverture pour ensuite installer le compteur à l'intérieur du logement interne. Le boîtier de compteur comprend par exemple deux pattes de fixation à chaque extrémité du boîtier, lesquelles pattes sont vissées à l'intérieur de la planche de bord pour maintenir le compteur en position fixe.  Indeed, before the installation of the meter, the visor side parts are removed to leave free the side notches. These two lateral notches, on each side of the upper visor portion extend facing the two opposite lateral ends of the transverse opening, also, when the meter is carried through the transverse opening, the fixing lugs can be simultaneously engaged respectively through the notches and the opposite lateral ends of the opening to then install the meter inside the inner housing. The meter housing includes for example two brackets at each end of the housing, which tabs are screwed into the dashboard to maintain the meter in a fixed position.
Ces pattes de fixation apparaissent alors à travers l'ouverture transversale dans le prolongement des échancrures et des extrémités latérales opposées de l'ouverture. Aussi, lesdites deux parties latérales opposées comprennent deux garnitures latérales externes, lesquelles sont destinées, non seulement à recouvrir les deux extrémités latérales opposées de l'ouverture, mais aussi à former une surface continue entre la partie supérieure de visière et la coiffe. Ces deux parties latérales opposées, après que le compteur a été installé, viennent s'engager respectivement dans les deux échancrures précitées.  These fastening tabs then appear through the transverse opening in the extension of the indentations and the opposite lateral ends of the opening. Also, said two opposite side portions comprise two outer side seals, which are intended not only to cover the two opposite lateral ends of the opening, but also to form a continuous surface between the visor upper part and the cap. These two opposite side parts, after the meter has been installed, engage respectively in the two aforementioned indentations.
Par ailleurs, ladite visière présente une paroi externe opposée à une paroi interne et ladite visière comprend en outre une garniture interne amovible destinée à être montée en regard de ladite paroi interne. Ainsi, la garniture interne amovible, montée en regard et à distance de la paroi interne de visière, confère à cette dernière une épaisseur relative lui donnant une impression de robustesse.  Furthermore, said visor has an outer wall opposite to an inner wall and said visor further comprises a removable inner liner intended to be mounted facing said inner wall. Thus, the removable inner liner, mounted opposite and at a distance from the inner visor wall, gives the latter a relative thickness giving it an impression of robustness.
De plus, ladite garniture interne est formée avantageusement d'une seule pièce qui s'étend longitudinalement d'une partie latérale de visière à l'autre et en regard de la paroi interne de ladite partie supérieure de visière. Ainsi qu'on l'expliquera ci-après, la garniture interne s'étend également en profondeur pour venir prendre appui contre le boîtier du compteur et ainsi fermer l'ouverture transversale. Aussi, lad ite visière présente un rebord orienté vers ladite ouverture, et ladite garniture interne vient prendre appui contre ledit rebord. Le rebord, recourbé vers ladite ouverture, permet de fermer l'espace situé entre la visière et la garniture interne et il forme la tranche libre et visible de la visière. Cette tranche apparente correspond à l'épaisseur de la visière et lui donne cette impression de robustesse. In addition, said inner liner is advantageously formed in one piece which extends longitudinally from one side visor part to the other and facing the inner wall of said visor upper part. As will be explained below, the internal lining also extends in depth to come to bear against the housing of the meter and thus close the transverse opening. Also, the ite visor has a flange oriented towards said opening, and said inner liner bears against said flange. The flange, curved towards said opening, closes the space between the visor and the internal lining and forms the free and visible portion of the visor. This apparent slice corresponds to the thickness of the visor and gives it the impression of robustness.
Avantageusement, la planche de bord comprend en outre une garniture inférieure amovible formant bandeau et présentant deux portions opposées en saillie destinées à rejoindre respectivement lesdites deux parties latérales opposées pour recouvrir lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées de ladite ouverture transversale. Ainsi qu'on l'expliquera plus en détail ci-après, la garniture inférieure vient également prendre appui contre le boîtier et elle permet de refermer une partie de l'ouverture transversale.  Advantageously, the dashboard further comprises a removable lower lining forming strip and having two opposed projecting portions intended respectively to join said two opposite side portions to cover said two opposite lateral ends of said transverse opening. As will be explained in more detail below, the lower liner also bears against the housing and it allows to close a portion of the transverse opening.
Ainsi, l'objet de l'invention permet de mettre en place le compteur de manière aisée.  Thus, the object of the invention makes it possible to set up the meter easily.

La Figure 1 illustre, en vue de dessus et partiellement, une seule pièce comprenant une première partie apte à former une coiffe 10 et une seconde partie destinée à former une visière 12 et à être installée en regard du siège conducteur d'un véhicule automobile. La coiffe 10 et la visière 12 sont par exemple moulées ensemble d'une seule pièce en matière plastique. La visière 12 présente une partie supérieure 14 formant avec la coiffe 10, de chaque côté de la partie supérieure 14, deux échancrures latérales opposées 16, 18. La coiffe 10 définit en arrière de la visière 12 et au niveau d'un plan P, sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 1 , une ouverture transversale oblongue 15. En outre, la visière 12 présente une paroi interne 13 opposée à une paroi externe 17. FIG. 1 illustrates, in plan view and partially, a single part comprising a first portion capable of forming a cap 10 and a second portion intended to form a visor 12 and to be installed opposite the driver's seat of a motor vehicle. The cap 10 and the visor 12 are for example molded together in one piece of plastic material. The visor 12 has an upper portion 14 forming with the cap 10, on each side of the upper portion 14, two opposite lateral notches 16, 18. The cap 10 defines behind the visor 12 and at a plane P, substantially perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, an oblong transverse opening 15. In addition, the visor 12 has an inner wall 13 opposite to an outer wall 17.
On retrouve sur la figure 2 la coiffe 10 et la visière 12 en vue de face. La partie supérieure 14 de la visière 12 s'étend en arc au-dessus de l'ouverture transversale 15. Par ailleurs, la coiffe 10 est installée sur un corps de planche de bord 19 de manière à former ensemble une planche de bord 20. On y retrouve également de face, l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15, laquelle présente deux extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24, apparaissant sur la figure 2 respectivement à travers les échancrures latérales opposées 16, 18, entre la partie supérieure 14 de la visière 12 et la coiffe 10.  We find in Figure 2 the cap 10 and the visor 12 in front view. The upper part 14 of the visor 12 extends in an arc above the transverse opening 15. Furthermore, the cap 10 is installed on a dashboard body 19 so as to form together an instrument panel 20. There is also seen from the front, the oblong transverse opening 15, which has two opposite lateral ends 22, 24, appearing in FIG. 2 respectively through the opposite lateral indentations 16, 18, between the upper part 14 of the visor 12 and the cap 10.
La figure 2 illustre également un compteur 26 comprenant un boîtier 28 équipé, par exemple, d'un compte-tours 30 et d'un compteur kilométrique 32. Le compteur 26 présente deux paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 opposées l'une de l'autre et respectivement situées aux deux extrémités du boîtier 28. Le compteur 26 est sur la figure 2, situé en travers de l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15, dans une position inclinée correspondant à une première phase de montage, les paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 étant respectivement engagées à travers les deux extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24 et aussi à travers les deux échancrures latérales opposées 16, 18. Par ailleurs, la partie supérieure 14 de la visière 12 présente un rebord intérieur 35 recourbé vers l'ouverture transversale 15 et qui s'étend entre deux extrémités d'accrochage 37, 39.  FIG. 2 also illustrates a counter 26 comprising a housing 28 equipped, for example, with a tachometer 30 and an odometer 32. The counter 26 has two pairs of fixing lugs 34, 36 opposite one of the other and respectively located at both ends of the housing 28. The counter 26 is in Figure 2, located across the oblong transverse opening 15, in an inclined position corresponding to a first phase of assembly, the pairs of legs of 34, 36 being respectively engaged through the two opposite lateral ends 22, 24 and also through the two opposite lateral notches 16, 18. Furthermore, the upper portion 14 of the visor 12 has an inner rim 35 curved towards the transverse opening 15 and which extends between two attachment ends 37, 39.
Ainsi, pour i nstal l er l e com pteu r 26 , on m a i ntient le boîtier 28 sensiblement verticalement en le présentant en regard de l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15 et on l'incline tout d'abord vers l'avant de manière à le faire passer en dessous du rebord intérieur 35 de la partie supérieure 14 de visière 12. Puis en l'entraînant vers l'ouverture transversale 15, on engage les pattes de fixation 34, 36 à travers les échancrures latérales opposées 16, 18 et ensuite à travers les extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24 de l'ouverture transversale 15. Thus, for example, the housing 26 may contain the housing 28 substantially vertically by presenting it opposite the oblong transverse opening 15 and tilting it forward first so as to passing it under the inner rim 35 of the upper visor portion 12. Then by driving it towards the transverse opening 15, the fixing lugs 34, 36 are engaged through the opposite lateral indentations 16, 18 and then through the opposite lateral ends 22, 24 of the transverse opening 15.
En arrière des deux extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24 de l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15, sous la coiffe 10, s'étendent deux paires d'organes support 38, 40 contre lesquelles vont venir prendre appui respectivement les paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 afin d'y être vissées, pour maintenir le compteur 26 à l'intérieur d'un logement interne 41 .  At the rear of the two opposite lateral ends 22, 24 of the oblong transverse opening 15, under the cap 10, extend two pairs of support members 38, 40 against which the pairs of fixing lugs 34 come to bear respectively, 36 to be screwed, to maintain the counter 26 inside an internal housing 41.
Ainsi, lorsqu'il est maintenu incliné en travers de l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15, le boîtier 28 est entraîné en pivotement autour d'un axe horizontal de manière à le ramener selon une direction voisine de la direction verticale tout en venant appuyer les paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 respectivement contre les paires d'organes support 38, 40.  Thus, when it is held inclined across the oblong transverse opening 15, the housing 28 is pivotally driven about a horizontal axis so as to bring it back in a direction close to the vertical direction while supporting the pairs fastening tabs 34, 36 respectively against the pairs of support members 38, 40.
De la sorte, le compteur 26 est alors dans sa position définitive telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 3 à travers l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15, et les paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 apparaissent à travers les extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24 et également à travers les échancrures 16, 18. Ces paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36 sont respectivement solidarisées aux paires d'organes support 38, 40, par exemple au moyen de rivets 42. De la sorte, le compteur 26 est maintenu en position fixe sous la coiffe 1 0 et dans le logement interne 41 .  In this way, the counter 26 is then in its final position as illustrated in FIG. 3 through the oblong transverse opening 15, and the pairs of fastening tabs 34, 36 appear through the opposite lateral ends 22, 24 and also through the notches 16, 18. These pairs of fastening tabs 34, 36 are respectively secured to the pairs of support members 38, 40, for example by means of rivets 42. In this way, the counter 26 is maintained in fixed position under the cap 1 0 and in the inner housing 41.
Ainsi, bien que la coiffe soit munie de la partie supérieure 14 de visière 12, et soit préinstallée sur le corps de planche bord 19, le compteur 26 est lui apte à être monté, à travers l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15 de manière aisée.  Thus, although the cap is provided with the upper portion 14 of visor 12, and is pre-installed on the board body 19, the counter 26 is adapted to be mounted through the oblong transverse opening 15 easily.
Ensuite, on ajuste sous la coiffe 10 une garniture inférieure amovible 44 formant bandeau et représentée sur les figures 4 et 5. Elle présente deux portion s opposées 46 , 48 , q u i s'étendent en sa i l l i e pou r rej oi nd re respectivement lesdites deux extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24, de manière à les recouvrir dans leurs portions inférieures. Ces dernières, représentées sur la figure 3, sont cachées sur la figure 4, et leurs références ne sont donc pas reportées. Par ailleurs, la visière 12 comporte deux parties latérales opposées 50, 52 comprenant deux garnitures latérales opposées, ou externes, qui viennent respectivement s'ajuster dans les échancrures latérales opposées 16, 18 et qui recouvrent les extrémités latérales opposées 22, 24 tout en masquant les paires de pattes de fixation 34, 36. Les garnitures latérales externes 50, 52 présentent respectivement une bordure libre recourbée 54, 56 vers l'ouverture transversale oblongue 15 de manière à former également des rebords. Les bordures libres recourbées 54, 56 s'étendent respectivement en arc depuis les extrémités d'accrochage 37, 39 du rebord intérieur 35 de la partie supérieure 14 de la visière 12, jusqu'aux portions opposées 46, 48 de la garniture inférieure amovible 44, de manière à former un seul rebord continu avec le rebord intérieur 35. Then, under the cap 10 is fitted a removable lower lining 44 forming a strip and shown in Figures 4 and 5. It has two opposite portions 46, 48, which extend in its illie to rej oid respectively said two opposite lateral ends 22, 24 so as to cover them in their lower portions. These latter, represented on Figure 3, are hidden in Figure 4, and their references are not reported. Furthermore, the visor 12 has two opposite lateral parts 50, 52 comprising two opposite or external lateral gaskets, which respectively fit into the opposite lateral indentations 16, 18 and which cover the opposite lateral ends 22, 24 while masking the pairs of fastening lugs 34, 36. The outer side seals 50, 52 respectively have a curved free edge 54, 56 towards the oblong transverse opening 15 so as to also form flanges. The bent free edges 54, 56 respectively extend in an arc from the hooking ends 37, 39 of the inner rim 35 of the upper portion 14 of the visor 12, to the opposite portions 46, 48 of the removable lower lining 44. , so as to form a single continuous rim with the inner rim 35.
Au surplus, tel qu'illustré sur les Figures 4 et 5, on ajuste une garniture interne amovible 58, en regard de la paroi interne 17. La garniture interne 58 s'étend en arc transversalement contre les bordures libres recourbées 54, 56 et le rebord intérieur 35 de la partie supérieure 14, et de l'une des portions opposées 46 de la garniture inférieure amovible 44 jusqu'à l'autre portion 48. Elle s'étend également en profondeur des bordures 54, 56 et du rebord intérieur 35, contre le boîtier 28. On se reportera sur la figure 5 décrivant la planche de bord conforme à l'invention en coupe selon le plan V-V illustré sur la figure 4.  In addition, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, a removable internal lining 58 is fitted, facing the inner wall 17. The internal lining 58 extends in an arc transversely against the bent free edges 54, 56 and the inner rim 35 of the upper portion 14, and one of the opposite portions 46 of the removable lower liner 44 to the other portion 48. It also extends in depth of the borders 54, 56 and the inner rim 35 against the housing 28. Reference is made to FIG. 5 describing the dashboard according to the invention in section along the plane VV illustrated in FIG. 4.
On y retrouve la visière 12 et sa partie supérieure 14 ainsi que l'une des garnitures latérales externes 50. On y retrouve également le compteur 26 et la garniture inférieure amovible 44, ainsi que la garniture interne amovible 58 qui s'étend du compteur 26 jusqu'à la garniture latérale externe 50 en regard de la paroi interne 17 de la visière 12. Ainsi, la visière 12 s'étend-t en épaisseur de la paroi interne 17 jusqu'à la garniture interne amovible 58. Au surplus, la bordure libre recourbée 54 est vue depuis l'habitacle comme sa tranche, tout comme le rebord intérieur 35 et la bordure libre recourbée 56 de l'autre garniture latérale externe 52. Par ailleurs, la planche de bord conforme à l'invention, permet non seulement de mettre en place de manière aisée le compteur, mais au surplus, elle permet de mettre en œuvre des garnitures latérales externes 50, 52 et interne 58 de couleurs différentes de manière à pouvoir proposer une mosaïque de couleurs et par conséquent des décors différents. There is the visor 12 and its upper portion 14 and one of the outer side trim 50. There is also the counter 26 and the removable bottom liner 44, and the removable inner liner 58 which extends from the counter 26 to the outer side trim 50 facing the inner wall 17 of the visor 12. Thus, the visor 12 extends-t in thickness of the inner wall 17 to the removable inner lining 58. In addition, the Curved free edge 54 is viewed from the passenger compartment as its edge, as is the inner rim 35 and the curved free edge 56 of the other external lateral trim 52. Furthermore, the dashboard according to the invention not only makes it possible to easily set up the meter, but, moreover, it makes it possible to implement external lateral seals 50, 52 and internal 58 of different colors of way to be able to propose a mosaic of colors and consequently different decorations.
