Description
La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet une caisse de manutention à couvercle rabattable incorporé.The present invention essentially relates to a handling case with a foldable cover incorporated.
De façon plus précise, une caisse de manutention conforme à l'invention est du type comportant un couvercle articulé au corps de la caisse à l'un de ses bords le long d'une charnière formée vers la bordure supérieure de la caisse, et est caractérisée en ce que ledit couvercle est divisé en deux parties articulées l'une à l'autre autour d'une deuxième charnière parallèle à la première, formant respectivement une partie arrière articulée autour de ladite première charnière sur ladite bordure de la caisse, et une partie avant articulée sur ladite partie arrière du couvercle autour de ladite deuxième charnière, ladite partie avant comportant au voisinage des extrémités de ladite deuxième charnière des parties en crochets ou analogues venant en position rabattue du couvercle se verrouiller dans des encoches formées en correspondance sur la bordure de la caisse, ladite partie avant comportant en outre des moyens de verrouillage classiques du couvercle sur la caisse.More specifically, a handling box according to the invention is of the type comprising a cover hinged to the body of the box at one of its edges along a hinge formed towards the upper edge of the box, and is characterized in that said cover is divided into two parts hinged to each other around a second hinge parallel to the first, respectively forming a rear part hinged around said first hinge on said edge of the body, and a front part articulated on said rear part of the cover around said second hinge, said front part comprising in the vicinity of the ends of said second hinge parts in hooks or the like coming in the folded down position of the cover to lock in notches formed correspondingly on the border of the body, said front part further comprising conventional means for locking the cover on the body.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdites deux parties de couvercle comportent des moyens de verrouillage de type clipsable coopérants permettant le verrouillage de ladite partie avant contre ladite partie arrière lorsque les deux faces supérieures desdites deux parties sont rabattues l'une contre l'autre.According to another characteristic of the invention, said two cover parts comprise cooperating clip-on type locking means allowing the locking of said front part against said rear part when the two upper faces of said two parts are folded one against the other.
Une telle conception de construction permet d'obtenir de nombreux avantages par rapport aux caisses connues à couvercle incorporé.Such a construction design makes it possible to obtain numerous advantages compared with known cases with incorporated lid.
La construction en deux parties articulées l'une à l'autre du couvercle permet, en position ouverte de la caisse, le couvercle étant plié avec ses deux parties clipsées l'une contre l'autre et rabattu derrière un grand côté de la caisse, de laisser entièrement libre l'ouverture supérieure de la caisse et le devant de la caisse, facilitant la manutention des objets à placer dans la caisse.The construction in two parts hinged to one another of the cover allows, in the open position of the box, the cover being folded with its two parts clipped against one another and folded behind a long side of the box, to leave completely free the upper opening of the box and the front of the box, facilitating the handling of the objects to be placed in the box.
Cette même conception en deux parties articulées clipsa- bles l'une sur l'autre permet d'obtenir un très bon verrouillage du couvercle en position de fermeture de la caisse en évitant l'encombrement et la gêne que constitue l'utilisation d'un grand couvercle en une seule partie ou de deux demi-couvercles articulés sur le bord supérieur de la caisse de part et d'autre d'elle.This same design in two articulated parts which can be clipped onto one another makes it possible to obtain a very good locking of the cover in the closed position of the box, avoiding the bulk and the inconvenience that the use of a large single-part cover or two half-hinges articulated on the upper edge of the body on either side of it.
En outre, la conception de la caisse telle que mentionnée ci-dessus permet de concevoir les caisses de façon . qu'elles puissent s'emboîter les unes dans les autres pour leur retour à vide sous encombrement réduit, sans que les couvercles ouverts en position rabattue tous d'un même côté empêchent un tel emboîtement des caisses. Cette solution présente l'avantage évident sur une solution à couvercles amovibles qu'on ne risque pas lors du retour des caisses de perdre des couvercles, puisque chaque caisse garde en permanence son couvercle associé.In addition, the design of the box as mentioned above makes it possible to design the boxes in a way. they can fit into each other for their return to vacuum under reduced overall dimensions, without the open covers in the folded position all on the same side preventing such interlocking of the boxes. This solution has the obvious advantage over a solution with removable covers that there is no risk of losing the covers when returning the boxes, since each box permanently keeps its associated cover.
L'invention apparaîtra plus clairement à l'aide de la description qui va suivre faite en référence aux.dessins annexés illustrant, à titre d'exemple, un mode de réalisation. Dans ces dessins :
- - la figure 1 montre en vue.perspective une caisse conforme à l'invention avec.la partie avant du couvercle que l'on a commencé à ouvrir;
- - la figure 2 est.une vue par-dessus à plus grande échelle faite avec arrachement des deux parties de couvercle qui ont été séparées;
- - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe faite selon le plan III-III de .la figure 2;
- - la figure 4 montre comme la figure 1, la caisse en vue perspective, le couvercle étant fermé;
- - les figures 5 à 8 montrent en vue perspective à plus petite échelle que les figures 1 à 4, quatre positions intermédiaires successives illustrant la phase d'ouverture et de rabattement du couvercle derrière la caisse.'
- - Figure 1 shows a vue.perspective a case according to the invention avec.la front part of the cover that has started to open;
- - Figure 2 est.une view from above on a larger scale with cutaway of the two cover parts which have been separated;
- - Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along the plane III-III of .la Figure 2;
- - Figure 4 shows like Figure 1, the body in perspective view, the cover being closed;
- - Figures 5 to 8 show in perspective view on a smaller scale than Figures 1 to 4, four successive intermediate positions illustrating the phase of opening and folding of the cover behind the body. '
Selon le mode de réalisation illustré aux dessins, une caisse 1 conforme à l'invention comprend essentiellement un corps 2 sur lequel est monté un couvercle 3 formé de deux parties articulées entre elles respectivement arrière 4 et avant 5. Aux figures 1 et 4 on a repéré par les lettres AR et AV respectivement les côtés "arrière" et "avant" de la caisse en faisant référence au système d'ouverture donnant libre accès d'abord au côté "avant". Les parties arrière 4 et avant 5 du couvercle sont articulées entre elles autour d'une charnière dont l'axe a été repéré 6. Cette charnière peut être constituée de toute manière connue avec, par exemple, un axe en acier et des tourillons 7, 8 moulés de matière dans les parties avant 5 et arrière 4 du couvercle (voir figures 2 et 3). La caisse et son couvercle seront en général et avantageusement-moulés en plastique.According to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, a
D'autre part, la partie arrière 4 du couvercle est articulée quant à elle autour d'un axe 9 vers la bordure su- périèure de la caisse. Cette articulation peut être constituée comme l'articulation des deux parties du couvercle par exemple au moyen de tourillons coopérants 10, 11 prévus tantôt sur la partie arrière du couvercle 4, tantôt sur la bordure supérieure arrière de la caisse le long de l'axe de la charnière 9. Comme pivot, on peut utiliser une tringle métallique (non représentée) enfilée dans les tourillons 10, 11.On the other hand, the
De façon qu'en position rabattue du couvercle on ait un bon verrouillage du couvercle à plat sur la caisse dans la position illustrée à la figure 4, on prévoit, au voisinage des extrémités de la charnière 6, solidaires de la partie avant 5 du couvercle des parties en crochet ou analogue 12 qui viennent-en position rabattue du couvercle se verrouiller dans des encoches 13 (voir figure 1) formées en correspondance sur la bordure supérieure 14 du corps 2 de la caisse.So that in the folded down position of the cover there is a good locking of the cover flat on the body in the position illustrated in FIG. 4, provision is made, in the vicinity of the ends of the
D'autre part, on aperçoit (voir figures 1 à 4) formés sur la partie avant 5 du couvercle, des ergots recourbés en crochets 15 qui viendront en position rabattue de la partie 5 sur la partie 4 se verrouiller par clipsage dans des ouvertures 16 coopérantes prévues sur la face supérieure de la partie arrière 4 du couvercle. Dans l'exemple illustré et pour permettre un meilleur guidage du verrouillage de ces organes coopérants, ces ergots de verrouillage 15 sont centrés à l'intérieur d'une bordure 17 faisant saillie sur le couvercle avec des pans inclinés 18 et 19, la bordure 17 étant reçue dans une cuvette 20 de section correspondante formée sur la partie 4 du couvercle et entourant les ouvertures 16.On the other hand, we see (see Figures 1 to 4) formed on the
Enfin, on aperçoit sur la.face inférieure de la partie avant 5 du couvercle le pène 21 de verrouillage du couvercle qui pénètre en position de fermeture du couvercle dans la gache 23 prévue en correspondance sur la bordure 14 du corps de la caisse. Dans le pène 21, qui pourra être en forme de crochet, on pourra, par exemple, passer un cadenas ou un plomb d'inviolabilité.Finally, we see on the lower surface of the
Avantageusement,.la partie avant du couvercle peut comporter (voir figures 2 et 3) des petites dents en crochets 22 formées dans le retour avant 23 de la partie du couvercle 5 et qui viendront verrouiller le couvercle élastiquement sous la bordure supérieure .14 du corps de la caisse lorsque le couvercle sera bien appliqué en fermeture sur la caisse. De tels moyens sont classiques, d'autres moyens équivalents pouvant être utilisés. A vantageusement, .the front portion of the lid may comprise (see Figures 2 and 3) of the
Enfin, en figures 2 et 3 on a illustré la possibilité de former sur le couvercle des protubérances 24 (non montrées sur les autres figures). Ces protubérances en conjugaison avec les bordures 17 en saillie peuvent faciliter la formation de piles stables de casiers superposés, ces protubérances pouvant coopérer, de façon connue, avec des parties en creux correspondantes formées sous le fond des caisses.Finally, in FIGS. 2 and 3, the possibility of forming protrusions 24 (not shown in the other figures) has been illustrated. These protrusions in conjunction with the projecting
De la description qui précède, il résulte clairement les avantages d'utilisation obtenus avec des caisses conformes à l'invention.From the above description, it clearly follows the advantages of use obtained with boxes according to the invention.
Comme illustré aux figures 5 à 8, lorsqu'on veut ouvrir une caisse, on soulève d'abord la partie avant 5 du couvercle (figure 5), on la rabat et la verrouille par clipsage des organes coopérants 15, 16 contre la partie 4 du couvercle (figure 6). On peut alors soulever la partie arrière 4 autour de la charnière d'articulation 9 (figure 7) puis rabat- tre le couvercle derrière le grand côté de la caisse (figure 8)As illustrated in Figures 5 to 8, when you want to open a box, first lift the
Dans cette position, si les corps 2 des caisses sont - conformés de façon à pouvoir s'emboîter les uns dans les autres, on peut venir empiler d'autres caisses par-dessus la caisse ouverte, les couvercles repliés en deux venant les uns sur les autres à la manière des tuiles d'un toit.In this position, if the
On nôteraque dans la position illustrée à la figure 8, l'accès sur le devant de la caisse est entièrement libéré et que l'on n'est pas gêné par le couvercle rabattu derrière la caisse.We are in the position illustrated in Figure 8, the access to the front of the box is completely free and that we are not hindered by the cover folded down behind the box.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation illustré et décrit qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Ainsi, bien qu'on ait décrit une réalisation préférée dans laquelle le couvercle 3 est formé en deux parties 4 et 5 de grandeur légèrement inégale , la partie avant 5 étant plus petite que la partie arrière 4 (l'axe de la charnière 6 étant décalé vers l'avant par rapport à la ligne médiane 25 -figure 4) du couvercle on pourrait constituer le couvercle suivant un même principe par exemple en trois panneaux articulés qui seraient conformés de façon à se clipser les uns sur les autres. L'invention comprend donc tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont réalisées suivant son esprit-et mises en oeuvre dans le cadre des revendications qui suivent. En particulier, les charnières 6, .9 seront avantageusement d'un type inviolable, c'est-à-dire telles qu'on ne puisse chasser l'axe de la charnière en exerçant une action axiale extérieure, si la caisse comporte des moyens de verrouillage par cadenas ou serrure.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment illustrated and described which has been given only by way of example. Thus, although a preferred embodiment has been described in which the cover 3 is formed in two
