Embodiment Construction

[0021] Such as figure 1 As shown, a portion of the dashboard of a motor vehicle is indicated by the general reference numeral 10 .

[0022] A control panel or control unit 12 for controlling eg an air conditioning system is mounted on said instrument panel 10 by means of two breakable mounting means 20 configured to be broken and located on top of the control panel 12 . As a variant, there may be only one breakable mounting means. The two mounting means 20 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the control panel 12 .

[0023] as in figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in detail, each mounting device 20 includes a fixing lug 22 designed to cooperate with a T-shaped groove 14 formed on the upper surface 12a of the control panel 12, as figure 2 and image 3 shown.

[0024] The fixing lug 22 extends above with a coupling portion 24 for fixing the mounting device 20 to the instrument panel 10 .

[0025] Said coupling portion 24 comprises a position...

Abstract

The invention relates to a breakable mounting device (20) which is designed to assemble two parts (10, 12) of a motor vehicle, said breakable mounting device (20) comprising a fastening lug designed to be slidably inserted into a groove formed on one of the parts (12) and an assembly part designed to be fixed to the other part (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to motor vehicles, and more particularly to a mounting device for assembling elements in a vehicle, such as a control unit for air conditioning, multimedia, or any other control panel that must be mounted to the dashboard of the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Typically, the control unit is mounted to the dashboard with integral fixing lugs. In the event of a crash, the fixing lugs break and the entire control unit has to be replaced. Contents of the invention [0003] It is therefore the object of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages and to reduce the maintenance costs of the control unit. [0004] A particular object of the invention is to propose a breakable mounting device configured to be broken and designed for assembling at least two parts of a motor vehicle. [0005] The breakable mounting means comprises a fixing lug designed to slide into a groove formed on one of these pa...
