Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>
La présente invention concerne un toit escamotable ou rétractable dans le coffre arrière d'un véhicule. The present invention relates to a retractable or retractable roof in the rear boot of a vehicle.
Un tel toit escamotable permet notamment de transformer un véhicule du type coupé à deux places ou coupé ou berline à quatre places en un véhicule du type cabriolet. Such a retractable roof makes it possible in particular to transform a vehicle of the two-seat coupe or four-seat coupe or sedan type into a vehicle of the convertible type.
Dans le cas des coupés ou berlines à quatre places, le toit présente une longueur relativement importante, de sorte que le toit escamotable est composé de trois éléments dont chacun doit avoir une longueur compatible avec les dimensions du coffre du véhicule. In the case of four-seat coupes or sedans, the roof has a relatively large length, so that the retractable roof is composed of three elements, each of which must have a length compatible with the dimensions of the trunk of the vehicle.
On connaît ainsi un toit escamotable pour véhicule, comprenant un élément de toit avant, un élément de toit intermédiaire et un élément de toit arrière, ces trois éléments étant mobiles entre une position dans laquelle, ils recouvrent l'habitacle du véhicule et une position dans laquelle, ils sont superposés sensiblement horizontalement dans le coffre arrière du véhicule. A retractable roof for a vehicle is thus known, comprising a front roof element, an intermediate roof element and a rear roof element, these three elements being movable between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a position in which, they are superimposed substantially horizontally in the rear trunk of the vehicle.
Le but de la présente invention est d'apporter des perfectionnements aux moyens connus, pour commander et guider d'une manière optimale le déplacement des éléments du toit entre leur position de fermeture et leur position de rangement dans le coffre. The object of the present invention is to provide improvements to the known means, for optimally controlling and guiding the movement of the elements of the roof between their closed position and their storage position in the boot.
Suivant l'invention, le toit escamotable est caractérisé en ce que le déplacement de l'élément arrière vers le coffre est commandé par au moins un bras articulé au châssis du véhicule et à l'élément arrière, en ce que l'élément arrière est relié à l'élément intermédiaire par deux leviers articulés audit élément arrière et audit élément intermédiaire, ces deux leviers formant un quadrilatère déformable, en ce que According to the invention, the retractable roof is characterized in that the movement of the rear element towards the trunk is controlled by at least one arm articulated to the chassis of the vehicle and to the rear element, in that the rear element is connected to the intermediate element by two levers articulated to said rear element and to said intermediate element, these two levers forming a deformable quadrilateral, in that
<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>
l'élément intermédiaire est relié à l'élément avant par deux autres leviers articulés audit élément intermédiaire et audit élément avant, ces deux autres leviers formant un quadrilatère déformable, en ce que ledit bras est relié de façon articulée à l'un des deux leviers reliant les éléments arrière et intermédiaire, par une biellette articulée audit bras et audit levier en ce que l'autre levier reliant les éléments arrière et intermédiaire est relié à l'un des leviers reliant les éléments intermédiaire et avant par une biellette articulée auxdits leviers. the intermediate element is connected to the front element by two other levers articulated to said intermediate element and to said front element, these two other levers forming a deformable quadrilateral, in that said arm is connected in an articulated manner to one of the two levers connecting the rear and intermediate elements, by a link articulated to said arm and to said lever in that the other lever connecting the rear and intermediate elements is connected to one of the levers connecting the intermediate and front elements by a link articulated to said levers.
Dans une version simplifiée de l'invention, notamment dans le cas des coupés ne comportant que deux places, le toit escamotable pourrait ne comporter que les deux éléments intermédiaire et arrière, qui seraient alors respectivement les éléments avant et arrière. In a simplified version of the invention, in particular in the case of coupés comprising only two places, the retractable roof could comprise only the two intermediate and rear elements, which would then be the front and rear elements respectively.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the description below.
Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs : - La figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe longitudinale partielle d'un véhicule équipé d'un toit escamotable selon l'invention, en position fermée ; - La figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, le toit escamotable étant dans une position intermédiaire ; - La figure 3 est une vue analogue aux figures 1 et 2, le toit escamotable étant en position rangée dans le coffre du véhicule. In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples: - Figure 1 is a schematic view in partial longitudinal section of a vehicle equipped with a retractable roof according to the invention, in the closed position; - Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, the retractable roof being in an intermediate position; - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figures 1 and 2, the retractable roof being in the stowed position in the trunk of the vehicle.
Dans la réalisation représentée sur les figures 1 à 3, le toit escamotable pour véhicule, comprend un élément de toit avant In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the retractable roof for a vehicle comprises a front roof element
<Desc/Clms Page number 3><Desc / Clms Page number 3>
1, un élément de toit intermédiaire 2 et un élément de toit arrière 3. Ces trois éléments 1, 2, 3 sont mobiles entre une position dans laquelle (voir figure 1) ils recouvrent l'habitacle 4 du véhicule et une position dans laquelle (voir figure 3), ils sont superposés sensiblement horizontalement dans le coffre arrière 5 du véhicule. 1, an intermediate roof element 2 and a rear roof element 3. These three elements 1, 2, 3 are movable between a position in which (see FIG. 1) they cover the passenger compartment 4 of the vehicle and a position in which ( see Figure 3), they are superimposed substantially horizontally in the rear trunk 5 of the vehicle.
Conformément à l'invention, le déplacement de l'élément arrière 3 vers le coffre 5 est commandé par un bras 6 articulé en 7 au châssis du véhicule et en 8 à l'élément arrière 3. According to the invention, the movement of the rear element 3 towards the boot 5 is controlled by an arm 6 articulated at 7 to the chassis of the vehicle and at 8 at the rear element 3.
L'élément arrière 3 est relié à l'élément intermédiaire 2 par deux leviers 9,10 articulés en 11, 12 à l'élément arrière 3 et en 13,14 à l'élément intermédiaire 2. Ces deux leviers 9,10 forment ainsi un quadrilatère déformable. The rear element 3 is connected to the intermediate element 2 by two levers 9, 10 articulated at 11, 12 to the rear element 3 and at 13, 14 to the intermediate element 2. These two levers 9, 10 thus form a deformable quadrilateral.
Par ailleurs, l'élément intermédiaire 2 est relié à l'élément avant 1 par deux leviers 15,16 articulés en 19,20 à l'élément avant 1 et en 17,18 à l'élément intermédiaire 2. Ces deux autres leviers 15,16 forment ainsi un second quadrilatère déformable. Furthermore, the intermediate element 2 is connected to the front element 1 by two levers 15,16 articulated in 19,20 to the front element 1 and in 17,18 to the intermediate element 2. These two other levers 15 , 16 thus form a second deformable quadrilateral.
Le bras 6 est relié de façon articulée à l'un des deux leviers 9,10 reliant les éléments arrière 3 et intermédiaire 2, par une biellette 21 articulée en 22 au bras 6 et en 23 levier 10 D'autre part, l'autre levier 9 reliant les éléments arrière 3 et intermédiaire 2 est relié à l'un 16 des leviers reliant les éléments intermédiaire 2 et avant 1, par une biellette 24 articulée en 25,26 aux dits leviers 9 et 16. The arm 6 is hingedly connected to one of the two levers 9,10 connecting the rear 3 and intermediate 2 elements, by a link 21 articulated at 22 to the arm 6 and at lever 23 On the other hand, the other lever 9 connecting the rear 3 and intermediate 2 elements is connected to one 16 of the levers connecting the intermediate 2 and front 1 elements, by a link 24 articulated at 25, 26 to said levers 9 and 16.
Comme montré notamment par la figure 2, le déplacement de l'élément arrière 3 vers le coffre 5 est en outre commandé par un doigt 27 porté par la partie arrière 3a de l'élément arrière 3 As shown in particular in Figure 2, the movement of the rear element 3 to the trunk 5 is further controlled by a finger 27 carried by the rear part 3a of the rear element 3
<Desc/Clms Page number 4><Desc / Clms Page number 4>
engagé de façon coulissante dans une glissière 28 s'étendant à l'intérieur du coffre 5. slidably engaged in a slide 28 extending inside the trunk 5.
Au lieu de la glissière 28 et du doigt 27, le déplacement de l'élément arrière 3 vers le coffre 5 pourrait être commandé par un second bras (non représenté) articulé au châssis et à la partie arrière 3a de l'élément arrière 3. Instead of the slide 28 and the finger 27, the movement of the rear element 3 towards the trunk 5 could be controlled by a second arm (not shown) articulated to the chassis and to the rear part 3a of the rear element 3.
Le toit escamotable que l'on vient de décrire fonctionne de la façon suivante : Après déverrouillage des éléments 1,2, 3 et ouverture du couvercle 5a, le bras 6 pivote vers l'arrière sous l'action d'un moteur ou d'un vérin (non représenté). Le mouvement du bras 6 entraîne l'élément arrière 3 vers l'arrière en faisant coulisser le doigt 27 le long de la glissière 28. The retractable roof that has just been described operates as follows: After unlocking the elements 1, 2, 3 and opening the cover 5a, the arm 6 pivots backwards under the action of a motor or a jack (not shown). The movement of the arm 6 drives the rear element 3 towards the rear by sliding the finger 27 along the slide 28.
Le mouvement du bras 6 entraîne la biellette 21 et fait pivoter le levier 10 vers le haut, en entraînant dans le même sens le levier 9. Le déplacement des leviers 9,10 vers le haut, fait passer l'élément intermédiaire 2 au-dessus de l'élément arrière 3. The movement of the arm 6 drives the link 21 and makes the lever 10 pivot upwards, by driving the lever 9 in the same direction. The movement of the levers 9,10 upwards, passes the intermediate element 2 above rear element 3.
En même temps, le mouvement du levier 9 entraîne la biellette 24 qui fait pivoter le levier 16 vers le haut en entraînant dans le même sens le levier 15 et le passage de l'élément avant 1 au-dessus de l'élément intermédiaire 2, comme indiqué sur la figure 2. At the same time, the movement of the lever 9 drives the link 24 which makes the lever 16 pivot upwards, driving in the same direction the lever 15 and the passage of the front element 1 above the intermediate element 2, as shown in figure 2.
Les mouvements ci-dessus se poursuivent jusqu'à ce que les éléments 3,2, 1 se superposent sensiblement horizontalement dans le coffre 5, comme indiqué sur la figure 3.The above movements continue until the elements 3,2, 1 are superimposed substantially horizontally in the trunk 5, as shown in FIG. 3.
