Description

PROCEDE DE MONTAGE D'UN POSTE DE CONDUITE SUR UNE CAISSE DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE ET ENSEMBLE DE MONTAGE METHOD FOR MOUNTING A DRIVING STATION ON A MOTOR VEHICLE BOX AND ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY
CORRESPONDANT CORRESPONDING
L'invention concerne un procédé de montage d'un poste de conduite sur une caisse de véhicule automobile, ainsi qu'un ensemble de montage d'un poste de conduite sur une caisse d'un véhicule automobile mettant en œuvre un tel procédé de montage. The invention relates to a method of mounting a driving position on a body of a motor vehicle, and a mounting assembly of a driving position on a body of a motor vehicle implementing such a mounting method .
Habituellement, afin de procéder au montage du poste de conduite sur la caisse d'un véhicule automobile, des doigts de positionnement, généralement appelés pilotes, sont positionnés de manière précise sur une face interne de la caisse suivant la direction longitudinale du véhicule. Ces pilotes permettent d'assurer le centrage du poste de conduite sur la caisse. En général, deux pilotes sont prévus sur chaque face interne et deux faces internes sont prévues de part et d'autre du véhicule. Après la mise en place des pilotes, le poste de conduite est ensuite approché de la caisse grâce à un moyen de montage, souvent piloté par ordinateur. Ce moyen de montage applique le poste de conduite contre les faces internes de la caisse, les pilotes de celles-ci pénétrant des trous correspondants du poste de conduite approché de la caisse. Le moyen de montage peut alors libérer le poste de conduite lequel reste en place suspendu aux pilotes. Afin d'éviter une chute du poste de conduite, les pilotes comportent généralement une gorge de retenue qui peut ainsi bloquer le poste de conduite s'il vient à glisser sur les pilotes. Reste alors à fixer le poste de conduite à la face interne de la caisse pour finaliser son montage.  Usually, in order to assemble the driving position on the body of a motor vehicle, positioning fingers, generally called pilots, are positioned accurately on an inner face of the body in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. These pilots make it possible to center the driving position on the body. In general, two drivers are provided on each inner face and two internal faces are provided on both sides of the vehicle. After the pilots have been put in place, the driving position is then approached by a mounting device, often computer-controlled. This mounting means applies the driving position against the inner faces of the body, the pilots thereof penetrating corresponding holes of the driver's station approached the body. The mounting means can then release the driving position which remains in place suspended from the pilots. In order to avoid a fall from the driving position, pilots generally have a retaining groove which can thus block the driving position if it slips on the pilots. It remains to fix the driving position to the inside of the body to finalize its assembly.
Ce procédé de montage implique de devoir laisser les pilotes sur la caisse, de sorte que de nouveaux pilotes doivent être réalisés pour chaque véhicule, augmentant le coût et le poids du véhicule. Ce coût est d'autant plus important que les pilotes présentent très souvent les gorges de retenue, lesquelles nécessitent un usinage précis, et qu'un positionnement précis des pilotes (généralement au nombre de deux) doit être réalisé sur chaque caisse de véhicule.  This mounting process involves having to leave the drivers on the crate, so that new drivers must be made for each vehicle, increasing the cost and weight of the vehicle. This cost is all the more important as the pilots very often present the restraining grooves, which require precise machining, and that precise positioning of the pilots (generally two in number) must be performed on each vehicle body.
L'invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un procédé de montage d'un poste de conduite sur une caisse de véhicule, la caisse comprenant deux boîtiers de caisse chacun solidaire d'une paroi latérale avant de la caisse, chaque boîtier de caisse présentant une face de fixation destinée à la fixation d'un poste de conduite, The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a method of mounting a driving position on a vehicle body, the body comprising two body boxes each integral with a front side wall of the body, each body box having a fixing face for fixing a driving position,
chaque face de fixation d'un boîtier de caisse comportant au moins trois orifices traversant et une plaque de positionnement percée d'au moins un orifice de positionnement traversant, ladite plaque de positionnement étant positionnée de manière à ce que l'orifice de positionnement coïncide avec l'un des orifices traversant de la face de fixation, cette plaque de positionnement étant positionnée de manière prédéterminée, le procédé de montage comprenant les étapes suivantes :  each fixing face of a box body having at least three through-holes and a positioning plate pierced with at least one through-hole positioning hole, said positioning plate being positioned so that the positioning hole coincides with one of the through holes of the fixing face, this positioning plate being positioned in a predetermined manner, the mounting method comprising the following steps:
(a) un moyen de montage mobile équipé d'au moins deux doigts de positionnement et de doigts de support saisit un poste de conduite par introduction de ses doigts de support au travers d'orifices correspondant du poste de conduite ;  (a) a mobile mounting means equipped with at least two positioning fingers and support fingers grasps a driving position by introducing its support fingers through corresponding openings of the driving position;
(b) le moyen de montage approche le poste de conduite de la caisse du véhicule et engage ses doigts de positionnement, orientés suivant la direction longitudinale du véhicule, au travers d'orifices de positionnement prévus à cet effet sur la caisse, jusqu'à ce qu'une partie de fixation du poste de conduite soit en appui contre une partie de fixation de la caisse du véhicule ;  (b) the mounting means approaches the driving position of the vehicle body and engages its positioning fingers, oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, through positioning holes provided for this purpose on the body, to that a fixing part of the driving position is supported against a fixing part of the vehicle body;
(c) la partie de fixation du poste de conduite est assemblée à la partie de fixation de la caisse du véhicule ;  (c) the attachment part of the driving position is assembled to the attachment part of the vehicle body;
le moyen de montage comprenant en outre :  the mounting means further comprising:
un moyen de déplacement apte à permettre le déplacement dudit moyen de montage,  displacement means adapted to allow the displacement of said mounting means,
deux bras de support portant chacun des doigts de support, chaque bras de support comprenant au moins un doigt de positionnement apte à être engagé au travers d'un orifice de positionnement correspondant du poste de conduite,  two support arms each carrying support fingers, each support arm comprising at least one positioning finger adapted to be engaged through a corresponding positioning hole of the driving position,
le poste de conduite comprenant :  the driving position comprising:
une traverse de support,  a support cross,
deux flasques de support, solidaires de la traverse de support sensiblement perpendiculairement à celle-ci,  two support flanges, secured to the support cross member substantially perpendicular to it,
une plaque de fixation constituant la partie de fixation solidaire de chaque flasque support et s 'étendant perpendiculairement au flasque support auquel elle est fixée, chaque plaque de fixation du poste de conduite comportant au moins trois orifices traversant et en ce que chaque plaque de fixation du poste de conduite est appliquée contre une face de fixation d'un boîtier de caisse, les orifices traversant de ladite plaque de fixation coïncidant avec les orifices traversant de ladite face de fixation du poste de conduite, la plaque de positionnement étant en appui contre la plaque de fixation. a fixing plate constituting the integral fastening portion of each support flange and extending perpendicularly to the support flange to which it is attached, each fixing plate of the driving station comprising at least three through-holes and in that each fixing plate of the driving station is applied against a fixing face of a body-box, the through orifices of said fixing plate coinciding with the orifices passing through said fixing face of the driving position, the positioning plate being in abutment against the fixing plate.
Le procédé de montage selon l'invention permet ainsi d'éviter une fixation précise de doigts de positionnement directement sur la caisse. Les doigts de positionnement utilisés faisant partie du moyen de montage, ils peuvent être réutilisés pour la fabrication de nombreux véhicules.  The mounting method according to the invention thus makes it possible to avoid precise fixing of positioning fingers directly on the body. The positioning fingers used being part of the mounting means, they can be reused for the manufacture of many vehicles.
Seuls deux doigts de positionnement, positionnés de part et d'autre du poste de conduite selon la direction longitudinale de celui-ci peuvent être prévus. Toutefois, davantage de doigts de positionnement peuvent être prévus, par exemple 2 ou plus de chaque côté du poste de conduite.  Only two positioning fingers, positioned on either side of the driving position in the longitudinal direction thereof can be provided. However, more locating fingers may be provided, for example 2 or more on each side of the driving position.
Avantageusement et de manière non limitative, selon une première variante, le moyen de montage peut maintenir ladite partie de fixation du poste de conduite en appui contre ladite partie de fixation de la caisse lors de l'étape (c) d'assemblage. Toute chute du poste de conduite est ainsi évitée ce qui permet d'augmenter la sécurité des personnes éventuellement présentes. Il n'est en outre plus nécessaire de réaliser des gorges sur les doigts de positionnement pour assurer un pré-maintien du poste de conduite sur la caisse avant assemblage définitif, de sorte que leur fabrication est facilitée et peu coûteuse.  Advantageously and in a nonlimiting manner, according to a first variant, the mounting means can hold said fixing part of the driving station in abutment against said fastening part of the body during the assembly step (c). Any fall of the driving position is avoided, which increases the safety of those who may be present. It is also no longer necessary to perform grooves on the positioning fingers to ensure a pre-maintenance of the driving position on the body before final assembly, so that their manufacture is facilitated and inexpensive.
Avantageusement et de manière non limitative, selon une autre variante, le moyen de montage peut être dégagé du poste de conduite et de la caisse préalablement à l'étape (c) d'assemblage, le poste de conduite étant alors maintenu sur la caisse par des moyens de prémaintien au cours de l'étape (c). De tels moyens de pré-maintien peuvent être réalisés de manière simple par coopération d'une patte et d'un orifice prévus respectivement sur la caisse et le poste de conduite ou inversement. De même que pour la précédente variante, Il n'est plus nécessaire de réaliser des gorges sur les doigts de positionnement du moyen de montage pour assurer un pré-maintien du poste de conduite sur la caisse avant assemblage définitif. En outre, le dégagement du moyen de montage permet un accès plus facile au poste de conduite pour l'assemblage définitif à la caisse. Advantageously and in a nonlimiting manner, according to another variant, the mounting means can be disengaged from the driving position and the body prior to assembly step (c), the driving position being then maintained on the body by pre-maintenance means during step (c). Such pre-holding means can be made in a simple manner by cooperation of a lug and an orifice respectively provided on the body and the driving position or vice versa. As for the previous variant, it is no longer necessary to perform grooves on the positioning fingers of the mounting means to ensure a pre-maintenance of the driving position on the body before final assembly. In addition, the release of the mounting means allows easier access to the driving position for final assembly at the checkout.
Avantageusement et de manière non limitative, au cours de l'étape (b), un doigt de positionnement du moyen de montage peut être engagé au travers d'un orifice de positionnement de même dimension, un autre doigt de positionnement étant engagé au travers d'un orifice de positionnement de plus grande dimension suivant une direction prédéterminée, par exemple suivant une direction verticale.  Advantageously and in a nonlimiting manner, during step (b), a positioning finger of the mounting means can be engaged through a positioning orifice of the same dimension, another positioning finger being engaged through a positioning orifice of greater dimension in a predetermined direction, for example in a vertical direction.
Ceci peut permettre d'ajuster la position du poste de conduite par rapport à la caisse avant son assemblage définitif à la caisse.  This can make it possible to adjust the position of the driving position relative to the body before final assembly at the body.
A noter que les doigts de positionnement peuvent éventuellement traverser la partie de fixation du poste de conduite : autrement dit, lors de l'étape (a), à la fois les doigts de support et les doigts de positionnement peuvent être engagés au travers d'orifices correspondant du poste de conduite, les doigts de positionnement traversant la partie de fixation dudit poste de conduite. Ceci peut être par exemple obtenu en réalisant des doigts de support mobiles en translation suivant leur axe entre une position rétractée et une position sortie. Il est alors possible d'engager les doigts de positionnement dans les orifices correspondants du poste de conduite, les doigts de support étant en position rétractée, puis d'engager les doigts de support dans les orifices correspondants du poste de conduite en les déplaçant de leur position rétractée vers leur position sortie.  Note that the positioning fingers may possibly pass through the fixing part of the driving position: in other words, during step (a), both the support fingers and the positioning fingers can be engaged through corresponding ports of the driving position, the positioning fingers passing through the fixing portion of said driving position. This can be obtained for example by producing support fingers movable in translation along their axis between a retracted position and an extended position. It is then possible to engage the positioning fingers in the corresponding orifices of the driving position, the support fingers being in the retracted position, then to engage the support fingers in the corresponding orifices of the driving position by moving them from their position. position retracted to their extended position.
Ainsi, à la fin de l'étape (b), les doigts de positionnement traversent la partie de fixation du poste de conduite et la partie de fixation de la caisse, ces parties de fixation étant en appui l'une contre l'autre. Les doigts de positionnement sont ainsi situés au plus près des points de fixation du poste de conduite à la caisse, ce qui peut permettre de faciliter le positionnement relatif des deux pièces.  Thus, at the end of step (b), the positioning fingers pass through the fixing part of the driving position and the fastening part of the body, these fastening portions being in abutment against each other. The positioning fingers are thus located closer to the attachment points of the driving position to the body, which can facilitate the relative positioning of the two parts.

Les figures représentent partiellement un mode de réalisation d'un ensemble 10 de poste de conduite et de caisse de véhicule automobile pouvant être obtenu par le procédé de montage selon l'invention. Seule l'une des zones de fixation latérale de l'ensemble est représentée sur les figures, l'autre zone de fixation latérale étant symétrique par rapport à un plan longitudinal vertical du véhicule.  The figures partially represent an embodiment of a set of driving position and body of a motor vehicle obtainable by the mounting method according to the invention. Only one of the lateral attachment zones of the assembly is shown in the figures, the other lateral attachment zone being symmetrical with respect to a vertical longitudinal plane of the vehicle.
Cet ensemble 10 comprend une caisse de véhicule 20 et un poste de conduite 30.  This assembly 10 comprises a vehicle body 20 and a driving position 30.
La caisse de véhicule 20 comprend deux boîtiers de caisse 201 , chacun solidaire d'une paroi latérale avant 203 de la caisse. Tel qu'expliqué plus haut, sur les figures, un seul boîtier de caisse 201 et une seule paroi latérale avant 203 sont représentés sur les figures, l'autres boîtier de caisse et l'autre paroi latérale étant identiques par symétrie par rapport au plan médian longitudinal et vertical de la caisse. The vehicle body 20 comprises two body boxes 201, each secured to a front side wall 203 of the body. As explained above, in the figures, a single cash box 201 and a single front side wall 203 are shown in the figures, the other body box and the other side wall being identical in symmetry with respect to the longitudinal and vertical median plane of the body.
Chaque boîtier de caisse 201 présente une face de fixation 202 destinée à la fixation du poste de conduite 30.  Each cash box 201 has a fastening face 202 for fastening the driving position 30.
Chaque face de fixation 202 comporte trois orifices traversant 207, 208, 209 (figure 3). Deux de ces orifices (207, 209) servent à la fixation du poste de conduite 30, par exemple par vis.  Each attachment face 202 has three through-holes 207, 208, 209 (Figure 3). Two of these orifices (207, 209) are used for fixing the driving position 30, for example by screws.
Chaque face de fixation 202 comporte en outre une plaque de positionnement 204 (visible figures 2 et 3) percée d'au moins un orifice de positionnement traversant 206. La plaque de positionnement 204 est positionnée de manière à ce que l'orifice de positionnement 206 coïncide avec l'un (208) des orifices traversant de la face de fixation.  Each attachment face 202 further comprises a positioning plate 204 (visible in FIGS. 2 and 3) pierced with at least one through-hole positioning orifice 206. The positioning plate 204 is positioned in such a way that the positioning orifice 206 coincides with one (208) of the orifices passing through the attachment face.
Cette plaque de positionnement 204 est positionnée de manière suffisamment précise pour assurer un positionnement précis du poste de conduite par rapport à la caisse. La plaque de positionnement 204 a ainsi pour fonction d'assurer le positionnement du poste de conduite 30 par coopération de son orifice traversant 206 avec un doigt de positionnement d'un moyen de montage (décrit plus bas).  This positioning plate 204 is positioned in a sufficiently precise manner to ensure precise positioning of the driving position relative to the body. The positioning plate 204 thus has the function of ensuring the positioning of the driving position 30 by cooperation of its through orifice 206 with a positioning finger of a mounting means (described below).
Dans l'exemple représenté, la face de fixation 202 comprend un logement 210 recevant la plaque de positionnement 204 de sorte que celle-ci affleure la face de fixation 202, tel que visible sur la figure 2.  In the example shown, the attachment face 202 comprises a housing 210 receiving the positioning plate 204 so that it is flush with the attachment face 202, as visible in FIG. 2.
Le poste de conduite 30 comprend :  The driving position 30 comprises:
une traverse de support 301 (représentée uniquement figure 3),  a support beam 301 (shown only in FIG. 3),
deux flasques de support 302 (non visibles sur la figure 2), solidaires de la traverse de support 301 sensiblement perpendiculairement à celle-ci,  two support flanges 302 (not visible in Figure 2), integral with the support cross member 301 substantially perpendicular to it,
une plaque de fixation 303 solidaire de chaque flasque support 302 et s 'étendant perpendiculairement au flasque auquel elle est fixée.  a fixing plate 303 integral with each support flange 302 and extending perpendicular to the flange to which it is attached.
Seul un flasque de support 302 est représenté sur les figures 1 et Only a support flange 302 is shown in FIGS.
3. 3.
Chaque plaque de fixation 303 du poste de conduite 30 comporte au moins trois orifices 304, 305, 306 traversant (figure 3).  Each fixing plate 303 of the driving station 30 comprises at least three orifices 304, 305, 306 through (Figure 3).
Lorsque l'ensemble 10 est monté, chaque plaque de fixation 303 du poste de conduite 30 est appliquée contre une face de fixation 202 d'un boîtier de caisse 201 , l'orifice de positionnement 206 de ladite face de fixation coïncidant avec un orifice traversant 305 de la plaque de fixation du poste de conduite, les autres orifices traversant 207, 209 de la face de fixation coïncidant avec les autres orifices 304, 306 respectivement de la plaque de fixation 303. When the assembly 10 is mounted, each fixing plate 303 of the driving station 30 is applied against a fixing face 202 of a body box 201, the positioning hole 206 of said fixing face coinciding with a through hole 305 of the fixing plate of the driving station, the other through holes 207, 209 of the fixing face coinciding with the other holes 304, 306 respectively of the fixing plate 303.
Un poste de conduite comprend en outre de nombreux autres éléments non représentés, tels que par exemple la colonne de direction et le volant associé, un boîtier de climatisation, un boîtier électrique, une radio, un compteur, différents câblage pour ces éléments et un habillage externe dénommé habituellement planche de bord.  A driving position also includes many other elements not shown, such as for example the steering column and the associated steering wheel, an air conditioning unit, an electrical box, a radio, a meter, different wiring for these elements and a dressing external usually referred to as dashboard.
L'ensemble 10 peut également comprendre des moyens de prémaintien aptes à maintenir le poste de conduite sur la caisse de sorte que chaque plaque de fixation du poste de conduite soit appliquée contre une face de fixation d'un boîtier de caisse. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'une patte 12 solidaire du boîtier de caisse venant s'engager suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X du véhicule dans un orifice correspondant 14 de la plaque de fixation 303 du poste de conduite, situé dans la moitié supérieure de la plaque de fixation, tel que représenté sur la figure 3.  The assembly 10 may also include pre-maintenance means able to maintain the driving position on the body so that each fixing plate of the driving position is applied against a fixing face of a body box. It may be for example a lug 12 secured to the body box coming to engage in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the vehicle in a corresponding hole 14 of the mounting plate 303 of the driving position, located in the upper half of the fixing plate, as shown in Figure 3.
Afin de monter l'ensemble 10 décrit ci-dessus, on utilise un moyen de montage 40 (figures 1 et 2) lequel comprend :  In order to mount the assembly 10 described above, a mounting means 40 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is used which comprises:
un moyen de déplacement 401 apte à permettre le déplacement du moyen de montage et représenté schématiquement sur la figure 2,  a displacement means 401 able to allow the displacement of the mounting means and diagrammatically shown in FIG. 2,
- deux bras de support 402 portant chacun des doigts de support 403.  two support arms 402 each bearing support fingers 403.
Seul un bras de support 402 est visible sur les figures 1 et 2. Les deux bras de support 402 sont avantageusement symétriques et sont généralement conformés pour saisir des extrémités opposées d'un poste de conduite selon une direction longitudinale de ce dernier. Autrement dit, les bras de support sont généralement conformés pour saisir un poste de conduite à chaque extrémité de celui-ci. Le plus souvent, les doigts de support 403 viennent en prise avec un flasque 302 du poste de conduite. Dans l'exemple représenté, chaque bras de support 402 supporte deux doigts de support 403 lesquels sont engagés dans des orifices prévus à cet effet du flasque 302, perpendiculairement à celui- ci. Selon l'invention, chaque bras de support 402 comprend en outre au moins un doigt de positionnement 404 apte à être engagé au travers d'un orifice correspondant du poste de conduite. Only one support arm 402 is visible in FIGS. 1 and 2. The two support arms 402 are advantageously symmetrical and are generally shaped to grip opposite ends of a driving station in a longitudinal direction of the latter. In other words, the support arms are generally shaped to grip a driving position at each end thereof. Most often, the support fingers 403 engage with a flange 302 of the driving position. In the example shown, each support arm 402 supports two support pins 403 which are engaged in holes provided for this purpose of the flange 302, perpendicularly thereto. According to the invention, each support arm 402 further comprises at least one positioning finger 404 adapted to be engaged through a corresponding orifice of the driving position.
Dans l'exemple, chaque bras de support 402 comprend un unique doigt de positionnement 404 lequel est engagé à la fois au travers de l'orifice 305 de la plaque de fixation 303 du poste de conduite et au travers de l'orifice 206 de la plaque de positionnement 204 et de l'orifice 208 de la face de fixation 202 du boîtier de caisse 201.  In the example, each support arm 402 comprises a single positioning finger 404 which is engaged both through the orifice 305 of the fixing plate 303 of the driving position and through the orifice 206 of the positioning plate 204 and the orifice 208 of the fastening face 202 of the body case 201.
Tel que visible sur la figure 2, ce doigt de positionnement 404 présente une paroi externe lisse, dépourvue de gorge.  As can be seen in FIG. 2, this positioning pin 404 has a smooth external wall without a groove.
Le montage de l'ensemble 10 est maintenant décrit.  The assembly of the assembly 10 is now described.
Au cours d'une première étape (a), un moyen de montage 40 mobile, équipé d'au moins deux doigts de positionnement 404 et de doigts de support 40, saisit le poste de conduite 30 par introduction de ses doigts de support 403 au travers d'orifices correspondant du poste de conduite. Dans l'exemple représenté, les doigts de positionnement 404 sont engagés dans les orifices 305 correspondant de la plaque de fixation 303 du poste de conduite, alors que les doigts de support 403 sont rétractés. Les doigts de positionnement 404 étant engagés les doits de support 403 peuvent alors être déplacés dans une position sortie dans laquelle ils sont engagés dans des orifices correspondant du flasque 302.  During a first step (a), a movable mounting means 40, equipped with at least two positioning fingers 404 and support fingers 40, grasps the driving station 30 by introducing its support fingers 403 to the through corresponding openings in the driving position. In the example shown, the positioning fingers 404 are engaged in the holes 305 corresponding to the fixing plate 303 of the driving position, while the support fingers 403 are retracted. The positioning fingers 404 being engaged, the support fingers 403 can then be moved to an extended position in which they are engaged in corresponding holes in the flange 302.
Au cours d'une étape (b), le moyen de montage 40 approche le poste de conduite 30 de la caisse 20 du véhicule, notamment par déplacement suivant la direction longitudinale du véhicule, et engage ses doigts de positionnement 404, orientés suivant la direction longitudinale X du véhicule, au travers d'orifices de positionnement 206 prévus à cet effet sur la caisse 20, jusqu'à ce qu'une partie de fixation du poste de conduite (la plaque de fixation 303) soit en appui contre une partie de fixation de la caisse du véhicule (la face de fixation 202 du boîtier de caisse 201).  During a step (b), the mounting means 40 approaches the driving position 30 of the body 20 of the vehicle, in particular by displacement in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and engages its positioning fingers 404, oriented in the direction longitudinal X of the vehicle, through positioning holes 206 provided for this purpose on the body 20, until a fixing part of the driving position (the fixing plate 303) bears against a part of fixing the vehicle body (the attachment face 202 of the body box 201).
Au cours de cette étape (b), un doigt de positionnement 404 peut être engagé au travers d'un orifice 206 de même dimension (tel que celui représenté sur la figure 3), un autre doigt de positionnement étant engagé au travers d'un orifice de plus grande dimension suivant une direction prédéterminée, par exemple suivant une direction transversale du véhicule (non représenté sur les figures). Au cours d'une étape (c), la partie de fixation du poste de montage est assemblée à la partie de fixation de la caisse du véhicule. During this step (b), a positioning pin 404 can be engaged through an orifice 206 of the same dimension (such as that shown in FIG. 3), another positioning finger being engaged through a orifice of larger dimension in a predetermined direction, for example in a transverse direction of the vehicle (not shown in the figures). During a step (c), the mounting part of the mounting station is assembled to the fixing part of the vehicle body.
Au cours de cette étape (c) :  During this step (c):
soit le moyen de montage maintient la partie de fixation du poste de conduite en appui contre ladite partie de fixation de la caisse, autrement dit, le moyen de montage 40 reste en place pendant la fixation définitive du poste de conduite à la caisse,  either the mounting means keeps the fixing part of the driving station resting against said fixing part of the body, in other words, the mounting means 40 remains in place during the final fixing of the driving position to the body,
soit le poste de conduite est maintenu sur la caisse par les moyens de pré-maintien, le moyen de montage 40 ayant été préalablement dégagé du poste de conduite.  either the driving position is maintained on the body by the pre-holding means, the mounting means 40 having been previously cleared from the driving position.
