Abstract
A rear vehicle assembly having: two side trims intended to laterally bound a trunk, and a tray, movable relative to the side trims between a concealing position and a storage position. The tray includes at least one first panel, and one second panel linked to the first panel, defining two side edges of the tray. Each side trim defines a guide path for the tray. The tray includes at least one hinge articulating the first panel to the second panel, such that the side edge of the tray is adapted to cooperate with a respective guide path. And the rear vehicle assembly includes a driving mechanism adapted to drive the tray from the concealing position to the storage position.
Claims16
A rear vehicle assembly, comprising:
- two side trims intended to laterally bound a trunk,
- a tray having a front edge and a rear edge, the tray being movable relative to the side trims between a concealing position in which the tray closes off a lower part of the trunk and a storage position,
- the tray comprising at least one first panel defining the front edge of the tray and an opposite edge, and a second panel connected to the first panel by the opposite edge, the panels delimiting two side edges of the tray, each side edge being intended to be placed with regard to an associated side trim,
- wherein each side trim defines a guide path for guiding the tray between the concealing position and the storage position,
- the tray comprising at least one hinge articulating the first panel to the second panel, such that each side edge of the tray is adapted to cooperate with a respective guide path,
- the rear vehicle assembly comprising at least a third panel connected to the second panel by a second hinge articulating the second panel to the third panel, and
- the rear vehicle assembly comprising a driving mechanism adapted to drive the tray from the concealing position to the storage position,
- wherein the driving mechanism comprises a linking member, having a linking configuration in which the linking member is linked to the first panel and a released configuration in which the tray is removable, the linking member being movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, the passage of the linking member between the retracted position and the deployed position driving the passage of the tray between the concealing position and the storage position when the linking member is in the linking configuration.
A rear vehicle assembly, comprising:
- two side trims intended to laterally bound a trunk,
- a tray having a front edge and a rear edge, the tray being movable relative to the side trims between a concealing position in which the tray closes off a lower part of the trunk and a storage position,
- the tray comprising at least one first panel defining the front edge of the tray and an opposite edge, and a second panel connected to the first panel by the opposite edge, the panels delimiting two lateral edges of the tray, each lateral edge being intended to be placed with regard to an associated side trim,
- wherein each side trim defines a guide path for guiding the tray between the concealing position and the storage position,
- the tray comprising at least one hinge articulating the first panel to the second panel, such that the side edge of the tray is adapted to cooperate with a respective guide path,
- the rear vehicle assembly comprising at least a third panel connected to the second panel by a second hinge articulating the second panel to the third panel,
- and the rear vehicle assembly comprising a driving mechanism adapted to drive the tray from the concealing position to the storage position,
- wherein the driving mechanism comprises:
- at least one link positioned in a side trim, the link having a linking end to the first panel of the tray and a traction end, the link being movable between a rest position in which the link is adapted to pull the tray toward the concealing position and a working position in which the link is adapted to pull the tray toward the storage position,
- a traction device of the link adapted to place the link in the working position, wherein the traction device comprises a pulley, and
- a return device of the link adapted to place the link in its rest position, wherein the return device comprises a spring.
