Problems solved by technology

When there is not much space available around the pedal, it can prove difficult to use such clips to secure the catch, and these clips more specifically risk preventing the pedal from being actuated by the driver's foot
Furthermore, the use of screws requiring less space is undesirable as this requires the use of tools in a particularly confined and difficult-to-reach environment
Also, adding screws is more expensive than clips

Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 Partially shown is a thermal device 1 comprising a housing 2 equipped with a filter trap 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. This filter catcher 10 seals the opening for access to the filter, which is figure 1 The catcher 10 in is concealed. alone in figure 2 , Figure 2a , Figure 2b This trap 10 is shown in , where also the means for retaining it secured to the thermal device 1 are shown.

[0028] The trap 10 is made of a polymer material, such as polypropylene. This trap 10 has a flat elongated shape and has a length L. In this example, the trap is in the form of a ribbed plate. The catcher 10 has two longitudinal edges 12, 14 extending along its length and joined by two lateral edges 16, 18 extending along its width.

[0029] The catcher 10 also includes a first assembly tab 20 extending in the extension of the catcher 10 along its length, this first assembly tab 20 being secured to the lateral edge 16 . In the example shown, this firs...

Abstract

The invention relates to a filter catcher (10) for a thermal device (1) of a motor vehicle. Said trap (10) made of polymer material comprises: a first assembly tab (20) forming its extension along the length of the trap (10), the first assembly tab being rigidly connected to a side edge (16) of the catcher; a snap coupling means (22) designed to lock said catcher in a direction (N) perpendicular to the plane of the catcher (10), the snap coupling device is rigidly connected to one longitudinal edge (12) of the catcher and is located near the other side edge (18); the edge forming the catcher (10) is perpendicular to the A second assembly tab (26) of a directional extension of the first assembly tab (20), which is rigidly connected to the other longitudinal edge (14) of the catcher and located otherwise Adjacent to the side edges (18) of the catcher (10) is designed and arranged so as to be sufficiently flexible along its length to twist about a longitudinal twist axis (T).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a filter trap for a motor vehicle thermal unit. Background technique [0002] In motor vehicles, air can be pumped into the interior of the passenger compartment by a thermal device that can heat or cool the pumped air as required. The thermal device is located in the passenger compartment, under the dashboard, against a sheet metal part, generally called a firewall, which separates the passenger compartment from the engine compartment. The thermal unit is in particular equipped with a filter which must be accessible from the passenger compartment, allowing its replacement. For this purpose, the housing of the thermal device includes a catch, the opening of which allows access to this filter. The current catch is inserted into the housing by one of its ends, parallel to the surface of the housing, and secured to the housing by clipping at its other end, allowing quick opening of the catch without the use of tools. Generally ...
