Description

La présente invention concerne une boîte ou couvercle articulé pouvant servir à loger un objet utilitaire tel qu'un briquet, un tube de parfum, un pulvérisateur, une lampe électrique, un surligneur, etc...The present invention relates to a hinged box or cover which can be used to accommodate a utility object such as a lighter, a perfume tube, a sprayer, an electric lamp, a highlighter, etc ...

Elle a pour objet en premier lieu un dispositif de charnière entre boîte et couvercle, conçu pour être simple et peu coûteux.It first relates to a hinge device between box and cover, designed to be simple and inexpensive.

On connaît déjà, voir les documents BE-A-338194 et DE-U-8325984, des dispositifs de charnière simples constitués par des ergots portés par une des parties, boîte ou couvercle, et qui s'engagent chacun dans un logement prévu dans l'autre partie. La mise en place des ergots dans leurs logements ne peut se faire qu'en mettant à profit l'élasticité de la matière de l'une au moins des parties, si bien que ces structures conviennent mal lorsque la boîte et son couvercle sont tous deux en une matière relativement rigide.We already know, see documents BE-A-338194 and DE-U-8325984, simple hinge devices constituted by lugs carried by one of the parts, box or cover, and which each engage in a housing provided in the 'other party. The positioning of the pins in their housings can only be done by taking advantage of the elasticity of the material of at least one of the parts, so that these structures are ill-suited when the box and its cover are both in a relatively rigid material.

On a aussi proposé, GB-A-2047311 une articulation de fenêtre dans laquelle l'ouverture porte deux paires de tenons, chaque paire s'engageant dans une rainure qui s'ouvre vers l'extérieur et a une forme adaptée pour maintenir la fenêtre en situation fermée ou pour lui permettre de pivoter. Cette disposition exige une grande résistance mécanique des tenons, ce qui est incompatible avec les faibles dimensions qui correspondent à une boîte de taille relativement réduite.GB-A-2047311 has also proposed a window hinge in which the opening carries two pairs of studs, each pair engaging in a groove which opens outwards and has a shape adapted to hold the window. in a closed situation or to allow it to pivot. This arrangement requires high mechanical strength of the studs, which is incompatible with the small dimensions which correspond to a relatively small box.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir une boîte à couvercle articulé qui puisse être exécutée en un matériau relativement rigide, sans exiger une résistance mécanique élevée au niveau de la charnière.The object of the present invention is to provide a box with an articulated cover which can be made of a relatively rigid material, without requiring high mechanical strength at the hinge.

Pour obtenir ce résultat, l'invention fournit une boîte à couvercle articulé en deux parties dont l'une constitue le couvercle et l'autre le corps de boîte, et dont la charnière est constituée par un tenon solidaire d'une des parties et portant des ergots opposés l'un à l'autre et qui s'engagent dans des logements prévus dans l'autre partie, qui présente pour particularité que le tenon s'engage dans une fente prévue dans la paroi de l'autre partie et ouverte vers l'intérieur de celle-ci, et les logements des ergots sont constitués par des échancrures ménagées latéralement sur la fente et s'ouvrant seulement vers l'intérieur de l'étui.To obtain this result, the invention provides a box with a hinged lid in two parts, one of which constitutes the lid and the other the body of the box, and the hinge of which is formed by a tenon integral with one of the parts and bearing lugs opposite one to the other and which engage in housings provided in the other part, which has the particularity that the post engages in a slot provided in the wall of the other part and open towards the interior thereof , and the lugs housings are formed by notches formed laterally on the slot and opening only towards the inside of the case.

Suivant une modalité avantageuse, dans le cas où l'objet auquel la boîte est destinée est rigide et de dimensions fixes à l'avance, les dimensions intérieures de la boîte sont telles que l'objet, quand il est dans la boîte empêche un déplacement du tenon vers l'intérieur de la boîte suffisant pour permettre aux ergots de sortir de leur logement.According to an advantageous modality, in the case where the object for which the box is intended is rigid and of fixed dimensions in advance, the internal dimensions of the box are such that the object, when it is in the box prevents displacement of the post towards the inside of the box sufficient to allow the pins to come out of their housing.

Ainsi le couvercle ne peut pas s'échapper tant que l'objet est dans la boîte.Thus the lid cannot escape while the object is in the box.

Suivant une autre modalité avantageuse, qui peut se cumuler avec la précédente, des reliefs complémentaires sont prévus sur les surfaces en vis-à-vis des parties, ces reliefs étant tels que, lorsque la boîte est fermée, ils empêchent un déplacement du tenon vers l'intérieur de la boîte suffisant pour permettre aux ergots de sortir de leur logement. Ainsi le couvercle ne peut pas s'échapper. Le couvercle peut être maintenu en position fermée par tous moyens appropriés. De préférence, pour plus de simplicité, on utilisera une liaison à enclenchement entre au moins certains desdits saillants et rentrants de la boîte et du couvercle.According to another advantageous modality, which can be combined with the previous one, additional reliefs are provided on the surfaces facing the parts, these reliefs being such that, when the box is closed, they prevent movement of the post towards enough inside the box to allow the pins to come out of their housing. Thus the cover cannot escape. The cover can be kept in the closed position by any suitable means. Preferably, for simplicity, use will be made of an interlocking connection between at least some of said protrusions and reentrants of the box and of the cover.

Avantageusement, le tenon se termine par une partie en arc de cercle dont le centre est sensiblement placé sur l'axe commun des ergots, et dont le rayon est sensiblement égal à la distance qui sépare le fond de chaque échancrure de l'intérieur de la boîte. Il suffit, dans ce cas, que le contenu de la boîte soit rigide pour que le tenon, en s'appuyant ce contenu, maintienne les ergots au fond de la rainure, assurant ainsi un fonctionnement régulier et sans à-coups de la charnière, dont l'axe géométrique de pivotement est maintenu fixe.Advantageously, the tenon ends in a part in an arc of a circle, the center of which is substantially placed on the common axis of the lugs, and the radius of which is substantially equal to the distance which separates the bottom of each notch from the interior of the box. It suffices, in this case, that the content of the box is rigid for the post, by leaning on this content, to hold the lugs at the bottom of the groove, thus ensuring smooth and smooth operation. jerks of the hinge, the geometric pivot axis of which is kept fixed.

Si on réalise le couvercle en matière plastique, il est avantageux de faire le tenon en une seule pièce avec le couvercle ce qui simplifie la fabrication.If the plastic cover is produced, it is advantageous to make the post in one piece with the cover, which simplifies manufacture.

On obtiendra une présentation originale en réalisant au moins une zone de l'étui en matière transparente ou translucide, incolore ou colorée et en ménageant un léger jeu entre l'intérieur de l'étui et l'objet contenu, pour pouvoir glisser entre les deux, une feuille publicitaire ou décorative devant ladite zone transparente ou translucide.We will obtain an original presentation by making at least one area of the case in transparent or translucent, colorless or colored material and by leaving a slight play between the inside of the case and the object contained, to be able to slide between the two , an advertising or decorative sheet in front of said transparent or translucent area.

Il y a lieu de remarquer que dans le cas particulier d'un briquet, la réalisation d'un étui d'une certaine épaisseur de paroi permet d'augmenter l'intervalle entre les doigts et le briquet et d'éviter un échauffement excessif de la main auquel on peut être exposé avec des briquets de petite dimension que l'on trouve dans le commerce.It should be noted that in the particular case of a lighter, the production of a case with a certain wall thickness makes it possible to increase the interval between the fingers and the lighter and to avoid excessive heating of the hand to which one can be exposed with lighters of small dimension which one finds in the trade.

La description qui va suivre en regard du dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée, les particularités qui ressortent tant du dessin que du texte faisant, bien entendu, partie de ladite invention.The description which follows with reference to the appended drawing, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it clear how the invention can be implemented, the features which emerge both from the drawing and from the text which, of course, forms part of said invention .

  • la figure 2 représente le même article, couvercle ouvert et contenu sorti en partie
  • la figure 3 montre le couvercle à plus grande échelle,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en élévation du corps de l'étui avec arrachement partiel.
  • la figure 5 montre l'étui en projection horizontale, couvercle enlevé.
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of an article according to the invention, with the cover closed,
  • FIG. 2 represents the same article, lid open and contents partly removed
  • FIG. 3 shows the cover on a larger scale,
  • Figure 4 is an elevational view of the body of the case with partial cutaway.
  • Figure 5 shows the case in horizontal projection, cover removed.

On voit sur les dessins un étui 1 de forme oblongue comme celle d'un briquet à gaz ou d'une petite lampe électrique, muni d'un couvercle articulé 2.The drawings show a case 1 of oblong shape like that of a gas lighter or a small electric lamp, fitted with an articulated cover 2.

L'articulation de ce couvercle sur l'étui comprend un tenon 3 solidaire du couvercle et venant s'engager dans une fente 4 prévue dans la paroi de l'étui.The articulation of this cover on the case comprises a tenon 3 integral with the cover and coming to engage in a slot 4 provided in the wall of the case.

Le tenon porte deux ergots en saillie 5 opposés l'un à l'autre. L'extrémité du tenon 3 qui est à l'opposé du couvercle à la forme d'un arc de cercle, en pratique un demi cercle seulement pour des raisons de facilité d'exécution, et le centre de l'arc de cercle est sensiblement sur l'axe commun des ergots 5.The tenon carries two projecting lugs 5 opposite one another. The end of the tenon 3 which is opposite the cover in the form of a circular arc, in practice only a semi-circle for reasons of ease of execution, and the center of the circular arc is substantially on the common axis of the pins 5.

Sur les parois opposées de la fente 4 sont prévues deux échancrures 6 dans lesquelles peuvent s'engager les ergots 5.On the opposite walls of the slot 4 are provided two notches 6 in which the pins 5 can engage.

Le profil de ces échancrures (figure 3) comporte, vers l'ouverture de l'étui, une partie inclinée 7 se terminant, du côté opposé à cette ouverture, par un arrondi 8 de diamètre convenable pour le logement des ergots 5 formant pivots.The profile of these notches (Figure 3) comprises, towards the opening of the case, an inclined portion 7 ending, on the side opposite this opening, by a rounded 8 of suitable diameter for housing the pins 5 forming pivots.

La face du bord de l'étui qui fait face au couvercle présente, au voisinage de la fente 4, une partie en relief 10, limitée par un épaulement 11 dirigé vers l'extérieur. La face du couvercle qui fait face à l'étui présente, de façon correspondante, une partie en creux 12 limitée par un épaulement 13 qui, lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture, vient en appui contre l'épaulement 11, ou est à faible distance de celui-ci. On conçoit que la présence de ces épaulements empêche un déplacement du couvercle vers la gauche sur les figures, c'est-à-dire le déplacement du tenon et des ergots vers l'intérieur de l'étui. En conséquence, les ergots ne peuvent pas sortir des échancrures tant que le couvercle est fermé, ce qui empêche la perte accidentelle du couvercle, l'étui étant vide.The face of the edge of the case which faces the cover has, in the vicinity of the slot 4, a raised part 10, limited by a shoulder 11 directed outwards. The face of the cover which faces the case has, correspondingly, a hollow part 12 limited by a shoulder 13 which, when the cover is in the closed position, bears against the shoulder 11, or is at short distance from it. It is understood that the presence of these shoulders prevents a movement of the cover to the left in the figures, that is to say the movement of the post and the pins towards the inside of the case. Consequently, the pins cannot come out of the notches as long as the cover is closed, which prevents the accidental loss of the cover, the case being empty.

Pour maintenir le couvercle en position fermée on a prévu un encliquetage à l'aide d'un jonc 14, en saillie et en contre dépouille, prolongeant la partie en relief 10 sur la périphérie du bord de l'étui, et d'une encoche 15 de forme complémentaire sur le bord du couvercle.To keep the cover in the closed position, a snap-fastening is provided using a rod 14, projecting and undercut, extending the raised part 10 on the periphery of the edge of the case, and a notch 15 of complementary shape on the edge of the cover.

Lorsque l'étui est vide, pour enlever le couvercle, il faut d'abord le faire pivoter autour des ergots 5 pour faire cesser l'encliquetage, et prolonger le mouvement jusqu'à ce que les épaulements 11 et 13 ne coopèrent plus. On peut alors déplacer le tenon 3 vers l'intérieur de l'étui jusqu'à ce que les ergots 5 sortent des échancrures. Cette opération est illustrée à la figure 4.When the case is empty, to remove the cover, it must first be rotated around the pins 5 to stop the latching, and extend the movement until the shoulders 11 and 13 no longer cooperate. We can then move the post 3 towards the inside of the case until the pins 5 come out of the notches. This is illustrated in Figure 4.

Si l'objet, tel que briquet ou autre est placé dans l'étui, l'extrémité en demi -cercle du tenon vient en appui sur l'objet et empêche la prolongation du mouvement, si bien que les ergots ne peuvent sortir des échancrures. Le couvercle ne peut donc pas s'échapper. Le rayon de la partie d'extrémité en demi-cercle du tenon 3 est à peu près égal à la distance entre le fond arrondi 8 de l'échancrure 6 et l'objet contenu dans l'étui. Il en résulte que les ergots 5 sont maintenus dans ces arrondis 8, pour un fonctionnement satisfaisant de la charnière.If the object, such as a lighter or the like, is placed in the case, the semicircular end of the tenon comes to bear on the object and prevents the extension of the movement, so that the pins cannot come out of the notches . The cover cannot therefore escape. The radius of the semicircular end portion of the tenon 3 is approximately equal to the distance between the rounded bottom 8 of the notch 6 and the object contained in the case. It follows that the pins 5 are maintained in these rounded 8, for satisfactory operation of the hinge.

Le couvercle étant d'abord séparé de l'étui, on peut en le plaçant dans une position voisine de la fermeture (position représentée en pointillés sur la figure 4), engager les ergots 5 dans les échancrures contre les parties obliques 7 puis en poussant sur le couvercle, placer les ergots dans les parties rondes 8, le couvercle étant dès lors solidarisé de l'étui. Il sera bloqué sur l'étui, tout en pouvant pivoter, quand l'objet tel que briquet ou autre sera placé dans l'étui.The cover being first separated from the case, we can by placing it in a position close to the closure (position shown in dotted lines in Figure 4), engage the pins 5 in the notches against the oblique parts 7 then pushing on the cover, place the pins in the round parts 8, the cover being therefore secured to the case. It will be blocked on the case, while being able to pivot, when the object such as a lighter or other is placed in the case.

L'étui étant en matière transparente ou translucide, on pourra, grâce à un léger jeu, ménagé entre étui et objet contenu, placer dans l'intervalle une feuille souple 9 publicitaire, décorative ou de toute autre nature qui sera vue de l'extérieur à travers l'étui.The case being made of transparent or translucent material, it will be possible, thanks to a slight play, made between case and contained object, to place in the meantime a flexible advertising sheet 9, decorative or of any other nature which will be seen from the outside through the case.
