Description

Title of the invention: SYSTEM FOR THE INTERIOR FITTING OUT OF A VEHICLE, SYSTEM FOR FURNISHING A CARGO AREA OF A VEHICLE AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of vehicle interior design, more particularly to the cargo area of ​​vehicles intended to be habitable. The design system according to the invention can, in particular, be used for the conversion of vehicles that have a cargo area large enough to accommodate living quarters. Specifically, the invention relates to a system for the interior design of a vehicle that includes a module for converting the vehicle's cargo area.

[0002] The invention further relates to a vehicle cargo area furnishing system, which includes, in particular, the system for the vehicle's interior fittings. The invention also relates to a fitted vehicle comprising said systems. Previous technique

[0003] Below, we describe the prior art known from which the invention was developed.

[0004] The development of independent travel has seen the rise, a few decades ago, of road vehicles commonly called recreational vehicles, which include "motorhomes" when the vehicle has a living area attached to a chassis / driver's cab, "motorhomes" when the living area is integrated into the driver's cab, and "vans" when the vehicle is a converted van. These vehicles include all the basic amenities a traveler might need. Indeed, these vehicles often include a shower, toilet, kitchen facilities, a sleeping area, and possibly a washbasin / toilet, and, at best for vans, a shared shower / washbasin / toilet area. None of these vehicles, and even less so vans, have three separate areas: shower, washbasin, and toilet.The design of these vehicles is often a challenge for manufacturers who must optimize the available space to integrate as many features as possible.

[0005] Numerous solutions aimed at optimizing the available space for fitting out these vehicles have emerged. One such solution, described in utility certificate no. CN221315940, proposes a system for optimizing space for deploying a bed. The proposed system allows a bed frame to be folded or unfolded. When folded, the bed frame rests primarily along a partition wall in the cargo area, while in the unfolded position, the bed frame rests partly on cleats and a piece of furniture.

[0006] A second solution described in patent document CN 118107470 proposes a solution for optimizing the usable interior space of the vehicle. The proposed system increases the vehicle's interior space by deploying an extension to the rear of the vehicle, which incorporates a retractable bed frame.

[0007] In recent years, the conversion of vans, campervans, and light commercial vehicles has been booming. A much less expensive alternative to buying a motorhome, more and more companies are offering their services for the custom conversion of older commercial vehicles. Kits are also available for purchase for those wishing to convert their own vehicle. However, converting these types of vehicles involves making significant compromises regarding the choice of features to be included, due to the smaller available space compared to motorhomes.

[0008] However, the solutions developed for motorhome-type vehicles remain poorly suited to smaller vehicles, and there are no integrated solutions that allow for the direct outfitting of the entire vehicle's cargo area. Furthermore, the proposed solutions do not allow for optimal space utilization. Indeed, as is often the case, the vehicle's storage area forms a single room in which the furniture elements that characterize different living spaces are arranged, without freeing up the space they occupy when not in use.

[0009] Thus, there is a need to optimize the interior space in a vehicle while limiting the space occupied by furniture elements.

[0010] The invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art. In particular, the invention aims to provide an interior fitting system that can be integrated into any type of vehicle, and that optimizes the available space according to the user's needs while allowing them to maintain optimal living space compared to solutions offered until now.

[0011] The invention further aims to provide a furniture system including the interior fitting system of a vehicle, said furnishing system also makes it possible to optimize the space occupied by the seating devices while allowing their use in different configurations. Summary of the invention

[0028] The figures do not necessarily respect the scales, particularly in thickness, for illustrative purposes.

[0029] Aspects of the present invention are described with reference to functional diagrams of devices (systems) according to embodiments of the invention. Description of embodiments

[0030] Below, we describe a summary of the invention and the associated vocabulary, before presenting the disadvantages of the prior art, and finally showing in more detail how the invention remedies them.

[0031] The terms "fixed", "fixed", or "fixed", in the sense of the invention, correspond to the direct or indirect association of one element with respect to another without movement of these elements with respect to each other, immovable or removable with one or more intermediate elements.

[0032] Thus, the invention relates to a system 1 for the interior fitting of a vehicle, the system 1 comprising a module for fitting out a loading area of ​​the vehicle, preferably for the interior fitting out of a recreational type vehicle, preferably a van and / or a camper van.

[0033] The furniture module according to the invention, described in relation to figures 1 to 3, comprises a first piece of furniture 10, a second piece of furniture 11 and a bed frame 12.

[0034] As mentioned previously, the storage module according to the invention is intended to be installed inside the vehicle, more particularly in a space defining a storage or loading area of ​​the vehicle. By way of example, the storage or loading area of ​​the vehicle may correspond to the entire interior space of the vehicle except for the space dedicated to the driver's seat. Preferably, the storage area is located directly behind the driver's seat of the vehicle.

[0035] Thus, the interior fitting module preferably has dimensions adapted to the interior space of the vehicle, delimited by the vehicle body, so as to be easily integrated therein. Preferably, the elements constituting the interior fitting module can be fixed to a support structure 70 arranged to rest on the floor of the vehicle's cargo area. The support structure 70 can also be fixed to the floor of the vehicle's cargo area. In addition, a floor 80 can be mounted on the support structure 70. For this purpose, the support structure 70 can comprise a plurality of joists onto which the elements of the interior fitting module or the floor 80 can be fixed.

[0036] In the invention, as shown in relation to [Fig. 1], the interior fitting module of a system 1 for the interior fitting of a vehicle comprises a first parallelepiped-shaped furniture element 10. The first furniture element 10 is arranged to be mounted on a partition 10-1, which, for example, separates a living area from the vehicle's cargo area. To this end, the first furniture element 10 slides along the partition 10-1 by means of a first guiding means 10-11.

[0037] The partition 10-1 may correspond to a removable partition fixed in the loading area of ​​the vehicle or it may correspond to a body part, an inner side wall of the body of the loading area of ​​the vehicle.

[0038] The furniture module further comprises a second parallelepiped-shaped furniture element 11. In order to optimize the available space as much as possible, the first and second furniture elements 10, 11 are preferably positioned one above the other, in contact or not, and may in particular be of the same dimensions. The second furniture element 11 comprises a lower face arranged to rest on a vehicle floor 80 on which at least one second transverse guide means 11-1 is arranged to be mounted between the lower face of the second furniture element 11 and a vehicle floor 80 so that the second furniture element 11 slides.

[0039] Advantageously, the first and second guide means 10-11, 11-1 can be equipped with locking devices to allow the guide means to be locked in different positions. Furthermore, the first and second guide means can include a stop system with end-of-stroke dampers.

[0040] By way of example, the first and second guiding means 10-11, 11-1 can respectively correspond to a roller or ball guide rail fixed directly on the partition 10-1 or on the floor 80.

[0041] Still within the scope of the invention, the furniture module includes a bed frame 12 comprising a first part 12-1 of the frame fixed on an upper face of the first furniture element 10 and a second part 12-2 of the bed frame 12.

[0042] The bed frame 12 includes at least one retractable fastening means 12-21 arranged to be connected to the ceiling of the vehicle.

[0043] The retractable fastening means 12-21 may correspond to a strap winder mounted on or in the bed frame 12 and may include a motor whose action allows the strap to be wound or unwound, thus enabling a vertical translation of the bed frame 12. Alternatively, the retractable fastening means 12-21 may correspond to a jack.

[0044] Generally, the retractable fastening means 12-21 can be fixed by anchoring to the vehicle ceiling. The retractable fastening means 12-21 can be mounted at different positions on the bed frame 12, for example, symmetrically at each end of the bed frame 12.

[0045] In one embodiment of a system 1 for the interior fitting of a vehicle, the retractable fastening means 12-21 may include at least two motorized retractable straps fixed to the second part 12-2 of bed frame 12.

[0046] In the invention, the furniture module is arranged to move from a so-called "high" configuration, in which the first and second furniture elements 10, 11 are positioned one above the other, to a so-called "low" configuration, in which the first and second furniture elements 10, 11 are positioned side by side so that the second part 12-2 of the bed frame 12 is positioned substantially above an upper face of the second furniture element 11.

[0047] The arrangement of the first and second furniture elements 10, 11, in combination with the guiding means, thus optimizes the space under the second part of the frame 12-2. In particular, the space delimited by a third furniture element 20, positioned near the first and second furniture elements 10, 11, which, in the upper configuration, allows a user access to said furniture elements and, in the lower configuration, frees up the space occupied by the first furniture element. 10 and allows to occupy the space between the second piece of furniture 11 and the third piece of furniture 20 which no longer has any use in low configuration.

[0048] By way of illustrative example, the third furniture element 20 may correspond to a piece of furniture equipped with a sink and a connection system to a water supply and drainage and a hob.

[0049] Of course, in order to optimize the available space in the vehicle loading area, the first piece of furniture 10, the second piece of furniture 11 and the bed frame 12 can be dimensioned so as to correspond substantially to a height of the vehicle loading area to be fitted out.

[0050] According to a second aspect, the invention, described in connection with figures 4 to 9, relates to a furnishing system 2 for a cargo area of ​​a vehicle comprising a system 1 for the interior fitting of a vehicle according to the invention and at least one seating device 3.

[0051] The furniture system 2 for a vehicle cargo area is preferably for furnishing a cargo area of ​​a recreational vehicle, preferably a van and / or a camper van.

[0052] In figures 4 and 5, like the layout module, at least part of the elements that make up the seating device 3 can be fixed to the support structure 70 arranged to rest on the floor 80 of the vehicle's loading area.

[0053] The seating device 3 according to the invention comprises a seat 310 including a seat 312 on which are mounted a plurality of fixing elements 313.

[0054] By way of illustrative example, the fastening elements 313 may correspond to grooved studs, the groove of the stud corresponding to a grooved part of the stud whose diameter is less than that of the stud (of the ungrooved part of the stud), preferably this corresponding to a groove whose diameter is less than that of the ungrooved part of the stud and whose width corresponds to the thickness of the fastening / unfastening means 330.

[0055] The seating device 3 according to the invention further comprises a seat support 320 including a plurality of fixing holes 323 arranged to receive the fixing elements 313.

[0056] Preferably, the mounting holes 323 are arranged to allow the receipt of the fastening elements 313 and to ensure the positioning of the seat 310 on the seat support 320 in various positions. In particular, the mounting holes 323 can be arranged to allow the fastening elements 313 to be joined by a mortise and tenon joint.

[0057] Also in the invention, in order to facilitate the positioning of the seating device 3, said seating device includes a means for securing / unsecuring 330 positioned in the seat support 320. According to one embodiment, the fastening / unfastening means 330 can be integrated into a recess 326 (see [Fig.9]) made in the seat support 320 so as to slide on the inside of an upper face 322 of the seat support 320. Openings in the form of fixing holes 323 are thus made in the seat 320 to allow on the one hand the positioning of the seat 310 and on the other hand the fastening / unfastening via the fastening / unfastening means 330 of the seat 310 to the seat support 320.

[0058] The fastening / unfastening means 330 comprises a plurality of openings 331 adapted to allow the passage of the fastening elements 313 and is further arranged to allow reversible fastening between the seat 310 and the seat support 320. More particularly, the fastening / unfastening means 330 can be arranged to allow suitable positioning between the fastening elements 313 and the fastening holes 323 and thus ensure their connection.

[0059] Preferably, the openings 331 are arranged to allow the reception of the fastening elements 313 and to ensure the retention of the seat 310 to the seat support 320. In particular, the openings 331 can be arranged to allow a connection by embedding of the fastening elements 313. Even more preferably, the openings 331 have a recess whose diameter is adapted to accommodate the grooved stud.

[0060] In one embodiment of the invention, the application of a horizontal force by means of fastening / unfastening 330 in a first direction enables the connection between the fastening elements 313 and the fastening holes 323, while the application of a horizontal force by means of fastening / unfastening 330 in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, enables the unfastening between the fastening elements 313 and the fastening holes 323.

[0061] More particularly, when the fastening elements 313 are grooved studs, the application of a horizontal force by means of the fastening / unfastening 330 in a first direction allows the grooved part called the "groove" of the stud to be received in the second recess and thus ensure the retention of the seat 310 to the seat support 320.

[0062] As shown in figures 7 or 8, in order to facilitate the joining / disjoining of the seat 310 to the seat support 320, the joining / disjoining means 330 may include a gripping means 332 allowing a user to apply a force by pulling or pushing in a first or second direction, the joining / disjoining means 330. The gripping means 332 may take the form of a vertical edge extending along one side of the joining / disjoining means 330.

[0063] Furthermore, to facilitate the positioning of the seat 310 and the fastening / unfastening means 330 relative to the seat support 320, and more specifically the positioning of the fastening elements 313 and the openings 331 relative to the fastening holes 323, the seat support 320 may include positioning supports 324, 325 on which the fastening / unfastening means 330 can be mounted. The positioning supports 324, 325 advantageously have dimensions adapted to the fastening / unfastening means 330 and are mounted inside the seat support 320 under the face intended to cooperate with the seat 312 of the seat 310.

[0064] In another embodiment of a furniture system 2 according to the invention, the seat 310 may include a backrest 311 connected to the seat 312. The seat 310 may further be arranged to be fixed to the seat support 320 in a first position in which the plurality of fixing holes 323 coincide with at least two fixing elements 313 and in a second position in which the plurality of fixing holes 323 coincide with at least two other fixing elements 313.

[0065] Indeed, fixing holes 323 can be positioned on the seat support 320 in such a way that the seat 310 can be fixed to the seat support 320 in different positions by rotation of said seat and in particular to allow four positions by rotation of 90° of the seat 310 on the seat support 320.

[0066] In one embodiment of a furniture system 2 according to the invention, the latter may comprise at least two seating devices 3, for which each backrest 311 comprises a support face 311-1, and in which: - in the first position, the support faces 311-1 comprise, preferably are arranged so that they comprise, parallel normal directions and opposite directions, - in second position, the support faces 311-1 include, preferably are arranged so that they include, parallel normal directions and identical senses.

[0067] In addition, each folder 311 can be arranged so that their respective support face 311-1 occupies a third position in which the support faces 311-1 include perpendicular normal directions and identical or opposite directions.

[0068] In one embodiment of a furniture system 2 according to the invention, the seating device 3 may include a guide means 327 arranged to be mounted between the seat support 320 and a vehicle floor 80 so that at least one seating device 3 slides.

[0069] Indeed, Figures 4 to 6 show an example of an embodiment of a furniture system according to the invention in which four seating devices 3 are positioned, two by two, facing each other. The possibility of sliding, in particular transversely, one or more of the seating devices 3 relative to an adjacent seating device 3 makes it possible on the one hand to integrate all the seating devices into the smallest possible space and on the other hand to free up usable space, by a user in a seated position, when the backrest 311 occupies a position rather associated with use in the context of a moving vehicle.

[0070] As already mentioned, the furniture system 2 according to the invention is intended to be integrated into a vehicle and to offer optimized use of the available space. In this respect, the seating devices 3 can be used when the vehicle is stationary as well as when the vehicle is in motion. For this purpose, the orientation of the seating devices 3 must be adjustable so that the user is in a safe position: facing forward or backward when the vehicle is moving.

[0071] Thus, the seat 310 can further be arranged to be attached to the seat support 320 such that the bearing surface 311-1 has a normal direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 80-1 of a vehicle floor 80. The seat 310 can further be arranged to be attached to the seat support 320 such that the bearing surface 311-1 has a normal direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 80-1 of a vehicle floor 80.

[0072] In a particular embodiment of a furniture system 2 according to the invention, the latter may comprise two pairs of seating devices 3, each pair comprising two adjacently positioned seating devices 3, preferably the seats 310 of each pair of seating devices 3 comprising an adjacent face. The pairs are positioned such that each seating device 3 of the first pair is mirrored by a seating device 3 of the second pair.

[0073] Thus, to further optimize the space occupied by the seating devices and, in particular, to allow their use when the vehicle is in motion, the at least two seating devices 3 arranged to move from a first position to a second position may correspond respectively to a seating device 3 from the first pair and a seating device 3 from the second pair positioned as mirror images. When the support faces 311-1 of the at least two seating devices 3 are in the second position, the other seating devices 3 of the first and second pairs may be arranged to slide transversely so that the seating devices 3 of each pair are not adjacent; preferably, the seats 310 of each pair of seating devices 3 do not include an adjacent face or include a partially adjacent face so that a user can position their legs.Adjacent refers to the positioning of two devices. seat 3 or seat supports 320 of two seating devices close enough that the space between the two seating devices does not allow a user to place their legs in a seated position.

[0074] Generally, it is envisaged that each seating device 3 may include a safety belt, of a known type, which makes it possible to keep the user's body secure to the seat 310.

[0075] In addition, a furniture system 2 according to the invention may include a table 40 mounted movably in vertical translation on a profile 41 arranged to be fixed to a vehicle floor 80 and to the inner face of a vehicle roof. More particularly, the table 40 may be positioned between at least two seating devices 3.

[0076] Table 40 can be arranged to take at least three positions: - A first high position in which, when the layout module is in high configuration, the table 40 slides along the profile 41 so as to be positioned substantially below the bed frame 12. - A second lower position, in which the table 40 slides along the profile 41 so as to be positioned approximately at the level of the seat 312 of the seat 310. In this position, when the furniture system 2 according to the invention comprises two pairs of mirrored seating devices 3, the respective seats 312 and the table 40 form a bed frame structure that allows a mattress to be placed on it to create an additional sleeping space. This position can be used, in particular, when the vehicle is not in motion. - A third intermediate position, in which the table 40 slides along the profile 41 so as to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the seat 312 of the seat 310. The predetermined distance may, for example, correspond to a table height 40 on the profile 41 adapted to allow a user to be in a seated position while still having the possibility of using the table 40.

[0077] According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a vehicle comprising a system 1 for the interior fitting of a vehicle according to the invention or a furnishing system 2 for a loading area of ​​a vehicle according to the invention.

[0078] By way of non-limiting examples, the vehicle may be of a motorized recreational type, such as motorhomes, vans or camper vans or of a towable type, such as caravans.

[0079] The invention can be the subject of numerous variations and applications other than those described above. In particular, unless otherwise indicated, the different The structural and functional characteristics of each of the implementations described above should not be considered as combined and / or closely and / or inextricably linked to one another, but rather as mere juxtapositions.
