Abstract

Extension structure in height of the overcab of a motor home with a view to saving sleeping space, of the type comprising a part of an articulated mobile cell solicited by lifting / closing means, sealing elements being provided for close the cell in the extended position, characterized in that the mobile cell part is obtained by separating part of the original nasturtium (16) and that the articulation axis (6) is located at the field level front of the nasturtium.

Description

The subject of the present invention is a height extension structure of

  the nasturtium of a motorhome with a view to saving sleeping space, of the type comprising an articulated movable cell part urged by lifting / closing means, sealing elements being provided to close the cell in the position of extension. Structures of this type have been the subject, not

  limitatively, from patent FR 2 653 722.

  The proposed creation has never been marketed, however, for the simple reason that it is unrealistic on a conventional nasturtium motorhome (motorhome). Furthermore, its implementation involves the destruction of the flag of the original nasturtium and

  to bring back a specific part which opens towards the front of the vehicle.

  Space saving is therefore limited.

  In addition, this structure changes the aesthetic appearance

vehicle exterior.

  The present invention, by virtue of its different design, overcomes these drawbacks by proposing a device which is simple to implement, quick in its design and which provides a gain in

  significant space while retaining the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

  In accordance with the invention, this result is obtained with a structure for extending the height of the overcab of a motor home with a view to saving sleeping space, of the type comprising a part of an articulated mobile cell which is stressed by means of lifting / closing, sealing elements -being -provided for closing the cell in the extended position, characterized in that the part of the movable cell is obtained by detaching part of the original nasturtium and that the axis d he articulation is located at the level of the front field of the nasturtium.

  The invention will be better understood using the description

  made below of an embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a partial profile view of a motorhome equipped with a structure conforming to the invention, in closed position Figure 2 is a partial side view of a motorhome equipped with a structure according to the invention, in the open position; Figure 3 is an exploded view of the various components of 2 - the structure of the invention; Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the structure of the invention in the closed position; Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the structure of the invention in the open position; Figure 6 is a section along C-C of Figure 4;

  FIG. 7 is a section on D-D of FIG. 5.

  A vehicle generally referenced (15) comprises a cell (1) with an nasturtium (16) disposed above the cabin (17) of the

  conductor, this in a conventional manner.

  According to the invention, a portion of nasturtium (2) is pivotally mounted relative to the base (18), which remains unchanged, around a

  horizontal axis (6) consisting of hinges.

  The part (2), as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, can move by rotation from the closed position to the fully deployed position. The movable part is a hat detached from the nasturtium

  initial (16) taking with it any windows (19,20).

  In the lower part of the nasturtium is arranged the bed part (3) On its lower edges, the movable part (2) has angles (8) which cooperate with angles (8 ') of the fixed part until they come in contact with them in the deployed position (see Figure 7) with interposition of insulating seals (9,9 '), the seals (9) ensuring the seal in the open position, the seals (9') ensuring the seal

closed position.

  The closure is ensured by insulating panels (4,4 ') articulated in accordion,

  substantially vertical side insulating panels (5,5 ′).

  The insulating panels (4,4 ') have articulations (6)

of the same type as the previous one.

  An angle (2 ') is provided on the lower part of the flap (4) and an angle (22) on the rear edge of the movable part (2) There will also be adequate seals at each location where this is necessary both in position closed than in the open position

  main hinge (6) will be protected by an insulating sheath (7).

  In the open position, a profile (10) forming a gutter will be provided.

  The opening, respectively the closing, will be ensured by at least one lateral jack (11) bearing on the one hand on the part

  fixed and on the other hand on the mobile part.

  A manipulation handle (12) will be provided in the middle position. There will also be a safety locking system (13) in the open position and a safety locking system (14).

in closed position.
