Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the sorting of objects, and more particularly the sorting of flat objects of the type of postal folds.
  • the invention was made to solve the problems encountered in postal sorting with materials that no longer meet current needs.
  • sorting operations show great variability, partly due to the uniqueness of each factor tour, and for another part to the fact that they are staged in several also highly differentiated levels. It's about first of the general sort consisting in classifying the bulk in one or more passes to form batches corresponding to the postmen's rounds. Then these generally intervene themselves to order their "satchel". A first pass called “coupage” consists of pre-sorting in a limited number of lots, each batch is then treated individually during "stitching" to achieve a precise classification. Face to this great variability in sorting operations and to the significant increase in the volume of mail that we have known for a few years, sorting tools current, not very flexible, have become totally obsolete. There are cost issues and space congestion due to the importance of necessary materials, as well as problems efficiency and discomfort for operators.
  • the invention is the culmination of research of a global solution to these various problems, that is to say an economical, space-saving solution, and providing each user with the ability to have a practical, efficient and suitable sorting tool at best to his particular need.
  • It consists of a new sorting system for sorting flat objects from the type of postal envelopes, characterized in that it comprises identical unit lockers in the form of elongated rectangle parallelepiped, which have means to freely organize a plurality of stacked shelves for use in standing or vertical position, in order to place the objects to sort or stack flat freely a plurality of juxtaposed boxes for a use in lying or horizontal position, in view to deposit there, at least for the majority of the boxes, the objects to be sorted upright on their edges, in order to allow to constitute sorting conformations in according to the need for which they are intended, for grouping and interior design of a plurality lockers arranged upright and / or horizontal, and can be juxtaposed and / or superimposed; lockers being arranged so that said system of filing cabinet allows sorting of flat objects stacked flat and sorting flat objects standing on their edges.
  • the vertical arrangement of the lockers with stacking of shelves will be better for receiving large groupings of folds that will be there stacked, while the horizontal layout will significantly more advantageous for groupings of folds in limited number which can then be placed standing on their edge in the boxes (sorting method in vertical), offering the possibility of reducing considerably the size of the boxes that will then be their width (height in the other configuration) without loss of operational convenience for users.
  • the mode of use in vertical lockers will be used primarily for the general sorting, as well as for the first operation so-called “cutting” of the organization of touring factors, whereas for the second operation called “stitching" is the mode of use in horizontal lockers that will be retained.
  • the lockers have a length whose value is a multiple of that of their width, to allow combinations associating juxtapositions and overlays of lockers, including overall form remains simple, compact and rational.
  • Means for organizing the interior of lockers advantageously subdivided into a set of tablets with vocation of shelf for the mode of use of vertical lockers and a set of dividers for the horizontal mode of use.
  • the means of restraint shelves and dividers will be manipulated simple and fast, so that users have all freedom and ease of carrying out layout modifications, even during work.
  • the shelves and dividers will be provided with practical employment information supports.
  • the locker C shown in FIG. 1 is a elongated rectangular parallelepiped, fully open in facade on one of its large faces, manufactured by example of sheet steel or synthetic material dark in color such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Its length is three times its width, so that its height when standing corresponds exactly to that of the superposition of three identical lockers arranged horizontally. In practice, for application to postal sorting, its dimensions can be 1 m for its length, and 33 cm for its width and depth.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • Locker C has a set of accessories allowing to organize shelves at will superimposed for vertical use, or juxtaposed boxes for horizontal use.
  • the same elements could be used to constitute the shelves or partitions between juxtaposed boxes, but in practice, it was considered preferable to subdivide them in two specific games which can then be adapted optimally to their function by presenting a maximum convenience for users, especially for their installation and removal which must give an immediate character to the operations of rearrangement of the locker.
  • a first game brings together a plurality of tablets identical to vocation of shelves, such as that which is shown upside down in FIG. 2, identified in 5 and which consists of a square plane with internal dimensions transverse of the locker, which plane is bordered on its front side by a square return 50 intended to be facing downwards and used for marking information.
  • Each tablet 5 is associated with a bar 6 used to hold it in the compartment C, in cooperating with means of it.
  • the means of the locker consist of simple slots 30 formed in the two longitudinal bottom corners, which consist of oblique sections 3 (at 45 °, and which, alternatively, can be rounded), intermediate between the bottom wall 1 and the side walls elongated 2.
  • the slots 30, perpendicular to the axis longitudinal sections 3, follow one another 5 cm apart, and they are aligned two by two between the two sides.
  • the slots 30 are intended to receive the rear corners of shelves 5.
  • the shelves are carried at the front by the bar 6 which engages on each side in holes correspondents 20 housed in the walls 2, near their front edge and which, of course, are spread longitudinally in the same pitch as the slots 30.
  • the bar 6 has a main part 60 of length corresponding to the internal width of the rack, extended on both sides, beyond shoulders keeping it in place in the locker, by end parts of smaller diameter 61, the diameter of the main part 60 being itself of diameter slightly less than that of the holes 20.
  • FIG. 2 on the other hand lets appear a stop 51 making protrusion on the underside of the shelves 5, which located behind bar 6 to prevent them from slide forward when in place.
  • the dividers 7 are square plates with rear corners fit into the slots 30. They are held at the front near their upper corner, by a cooperating lock 8 with holes 20 and also serving as a support information.
  • the lock represented is an arm articulated on the interlayer, near its upper front corner, whose side upper defines a boss 80 designed to engage in a hole 20.
  • the boss 80 flares from its top to its base, to allow a locking without play.
  • the free end of the arm 8 has a return 81 forming a small panel in facade when the interlayer is in place, intended to receive information. It can also include a means of hanging mini-documents, relating for example redirection.
  • the dividers 7 present at a certain height of their base, from their front edge, a notch 70 the purpose of which is to facilitate deposit or withdrawal of all mail formats.
  • a notch 70 the purpose of which is to facilitate deposit or withdrawal of all mail formats.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates an example of a fitted filing cabinet on two tables T by a user, for example a postman having to organize his tour.
  • Two lockers C1 and C2 arranged vertically are juxtaposed on one of the T tables of appropriate width (for example 70 cm), forming a set of "coupage", itself juxtaposed with a set of "stakes" of three compartments C3 to C5 lying horizontally and superimposed on the other table T of corresponding width (1 m).
  • Bosses and complementary hollows can be provided on the external faces of the lockers, for allow mutual calibration between adjacent compartments.
  • the set of lockers C1 to C5 is surmounted on the front by transparent strips 9, Fig. 1, which serve as information carriers additional. They have a horizontal wing 90 which screws onto the lockers, and an oblique wing 91 intended to form an overhanging pan on the front of lockers.
  • the strips 9 have a unique length of 1 m, which therefore corresponds to the length of the lockers and the triple their width. They can be completed by shorter strips of length corresponding to twice the width of lockers. Otherwise, as in the arrangement of FIG. 4 two strips 9a, 9b can overlap if necessary over part of their length. Note that strips 9 constitute a high connection between compartments.
  • the "cutting" assembly C1, C2 is provided shelves 5 suitably spaced, generally at least two spacing steps (10 cm), to make it easy to form and remove the piles of P mail addressed to them.
  • the user is free to organize them as he sees fit, to the best of his need, knowing that in principle, the mail will be deposited there stacked at dish. It records useful information on returns 50.
  • Lockers C3 to C5 of the "pricking" set are organized in a succession of juxtaposed boxes, intended to receive in principle the folds p standing on their edge (sorting said vertical), so that their width can be reduced considerably without loss convenience for the user. This adjusts the width boxes according to the volume of mail they must receive, rearrangements that may take place being sorted. In practice, the most used width is one step apart (5 cm). If an address is abnormally loaded, the width of the box can be enlarged enough to accommodate the mail stacked flat.
  • FIG. 4 was described only as an example, but is absolutely not limiting. In practice, the user will be able to organize its lockers according to its personal suitability, in U, in L, in spans, etc.
  • a sorting file according to the invention such as that of Fig. 4, compared to conventional equipment, represents a gain of space on the ground and in height by at least 50%, an even greater cost saving, and also provides maximum flexibility and comfort use.
  • these qualities of the invention are susceptible to make it accessible and advantageous wherever mail items require classification, especially in communities: schools, hospitals, mail order organizations, etc.
