Abstract
LA PRESENTE INVENTION CONCERNE UN NOUVEAU TYPE DE CARROSSERIE PARTICULIEREMENT ADAPTABLE AUX AUTOMOBILES ET VEHICULES TOUT-TERRAIN. LA CARROSSERIE EST CONSTITUEE DE COMPOSANTS MODULAIRES INTERCHANGEABLES, COMPOSES DE PANNEAUX, FAITS DE PREFERENCE DE TOLES PROFILEES QUI SONT FIXEES AU CHASSIS AU MOYEN DE BOULONS, DE MOYENS DE RIVETAGE OU D'AUTRES SYSTEMES CONNUS. LES BORDS DES PANNEAUX PEUVENT ETRE REPLIES AU MOINS DEUX FOIS DE MANIERE A FORMER UN PANNEAU RIGIDE INTERCHANGEABLE. AINSI, PAR EXEMPLE, LES PANNEAUX LATERAUX SUPERIEURS B1, B2, B3, B4 SONT EXACTEMENT SEMBLABLES ENTRE EUX, DE MEME QUE LES PANNEAUX LATERAUX A1, A2, A3, A4, A9, A10, A11, A12 ET LES PANNEAUX A5, A6, A7 ET A8 OU SONT MENAGES DES SIEGES POUR LES ELEMENTS LEGERS.THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A NEW TYPE OF BODYWORK PARTICULARLY ADAPTABLE TO ALL-TERRAIN AUTOMOBILES AND VEHICLES. THE BODYWORK CONSISTS OF INTERCHANGEABLE MODULAR COMPONENTS, COMPOSED OF PANELS, PREFERABLY MADE OF PROFILED SHEETS THAT ARE FASTENED TO THE FRAME BY MEANS OF BOLTS, RIVETERS OR OTHER KNOWN SYSTEMS. THE EDGES OF THE PANELS MAY BE FOLDED AT LEAST TWICE TO FORM A RIGID INTERCHANGEABLE PANEL. THEREFORE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE UPPER SIDE PANELS B1, B2, B3, B4 ARE EXACTLY SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER, AS ARE THE SIDE PANELS A1, A2, A3, A4, A9, A10, A11, A12 AND THE PANELS A5, A6, A7 AND A8 WHERE ARE HOUSING SEATS FOR LIGHT ELEMENTS.

tituée d'un petit nombre de composants modulaires exactement semblables les uns aux autres et donc interchangeables. Ces panneaux, faits par exemple de tôle profilée, dont les bords sont repliés deux fois de manière à former un panneau rigide comme on le verra ci-dessous, sont interchangeables, en ce que les différentes pièces de la carrosserie consistent en un certain nombre de panneaux semblables fixés au châssis. L'invention sera maintenant décrite en détail, en donnant simplementuun exemple non limitatif, se référant particulièrement aux figures cijointes, ou: La Figure 1 est une représentation explosée d'une carrosserie selon l'invention, 25. Les Figures 2 et 3 sont des vues latérales d'une carrosserie selon l'invention; La Figure 4 est une vue frontale d'une carrosserie selon l'invention; La Figure 5 est une vue arrière d'une carrosserie selon l'invention; La Figure 6 est une vue perspective d'un panneau constituant la carrosserie selon l'invention, La Figure 7 est une coupe selon la ligne It has a small number of modular components exactly similar to each other and therefore interchangeable. These panels, made for example of profiled sheet, whose edges are folded twice to form a rigid panel as will be seen below, are interchangeable, in that the various parts of the body consist of a number of similar panels attached to the frame. The invention will now be described in detail, by simply giving a non-limiting example, with particular reference to the accompanying figures, or: Figure 1 is an exploded representation of a body according to the invention, 25. Figures 2 and 3 are side views of a body according to the invention; Figure 4 is a front view of a body according to the invention; Figure 5 is a rear view of a body according to the invention; Figure 6 is a perspective view of a panel constituting the bodywork according to the invention, Figure 7 is a section along the line.

Ces panneaux sont faits de préférence en pliant doublement une tôle le long de ses bords, mais on peut aussi bien utiliser n'importe quel matériau approprié, comme par exemple un matériau plastique embouti. Dans les Figures 6 et 7 le pliage est fait These panels are preferably made by doubly folding a metal sheet along its edges, but any suitable material, such as a stamped plastic material, can be used as well. In Figures 6 and 7 the folding is done

La carrosserie décrite par les dessins ci-joints est munie de panneaux AlA2 ayant exactement la même taille. De même, les panneaux indiqués par The bodywork described in the accompanying drawings is provided with AlA2 panels having exactly the same size. Similarly, the signs indicated by
la même lettre ont exactement la même taille. the same letter are exactly the same size.
Les mesures de la carrosserie sont telles que n'importe laquelle de ses parties peut être The measurements of the bodywork are such that any of its parts can be

Ainsi, les panneaux indiqués par C sont conçus pour constituer les portes et, lorsqu'ils sont réunis à deux-panneaux du type A, ils forment également la partie frontale supérieure et la partie arrière supérieure de la carrosserie elle-même, comme Thus, the panels indicated by C are designed to constitute the doors and, when they are joined to two-panel type A, they also form the upper front part and the upper rear part of the bodywork itself, as
le montrent les Figures 2,3., 4 et 5. as shown in Figures 2,3, 4 and 5.
Le côté de la-coque (Figure 2), outre les panneaux CI et C2 constituant la porte, se compose des quatre panneaux Al, A2, A9 et AIO, tous exactement The side of the shell (Figure 2), in addition to the panels CI and C2 constituting the door, consists of four panels Al, A2, A9 and AIO, all exactly

En disposant ces pièces de façon convenable il est ainsi possible d'obtenir une carrosserie que l'on peut facilement assembler, composée d'un petit nombre d'ensembles différents d'éléments identiques, avec la possibilité de disposer de toutes les pièces By arranging these parts appropriately it is thus possible to obtain a body that can be easily assembled, composed of a small number of different sets of identical elements, with the possibility of having all the parts
