Abstract

The present invention relates to an assembly ( 111 ) for motor vehicle equipment comprising:
an electric motor ( 3 ), a fixing plate ( 11 ) to which the electric motor ( 3 ) is fixed at least at one attachment point ( 14 ), the said fixing plate ( 11 ) comprising: at least one fixing point ( 20 ) intended for the fixing of the fixing plate ( 11 ) to an element external to the assembly ( 111 ), such as a structural element of the vehicle,

in which the fixing plate ( 11 ) has at least one slot ( 25 ) associated with the fixing point ( 20 ) and distinct from the associated fixing point ( 20 ), the said at least one slot ( 25 ) extending over at least part of the thickness of the fixing plate ( 11 ).

First claim

1 . The assembly for motor vehicle equipment comprising:
an electric motor; and a fixing plate to which the electric motor is fixed at least at one attachment point, the fixing plate comprising:
at least one fixing point intended for the fixing of the fixing plate to a structural element of the vehicle that is external to the assembly, and
at least one slot associated with the fixing point and distinct from the associated fixing point, the at least one slot extending over at least part of the thickness of the fixing plate.

2 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the fixing point comprises an opening made in the fixing plate.

3 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which at least one slot is positioned between the fixing point and the at least one attachment point and extends substantially perpendicular to a direction connecting the fixing point to the attachment point.

4 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the at least one slot is formed in a predefined perimeter around the fixing point.

5 . The assembly according to claim 4 , in which the perimeter is comprised within a radius of 3 cm around the fixing point.

6 . The assembly according to claim 4 , in which the at least one slot extends around the fixing point.

7 . The assembly according to claim 6 , in which the at least one slot describes an arc of a circle or a circle around the fixing point.

8 . The assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising at least a first series of slots which are arranged at a first radius from the fixing point and a second series of slots which are arranged at a second radius from the centre of the fixing point distinct from the first radius, the slots of the first series being at least partially angularly offset from the slots of the second series.

9 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the at least one slot is a through-slot.

10 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the width of the at least one slot is comprised between 1 and 10 mm.

11 . The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the fixing plate is made of a laminated composite material comprising a plurality of layers at least one of the layers of which is made from a viscoelastic material.

12 . The assembly according to claim 1 , comprising a geared motor unit of a wiper equipment.

13 . A motor vehicle comprising an assembly according to claim 1 .
