Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of storage and packaging, with a view to their transport or their grouped handling, of articles, manufactured products or parts, in particular of components, elements or assemblies useful for the manufacture of machines or vehicles, especially to the chain.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a container of the type comprising a base forming a lower frame with generally square or rectangular shape, four uprights or two opposite walls extending from edge areas or corners of said base and at least one, preferably several, loading medium (s) extending substantially parallel to the base.
  • Each loading support is in the form of a carrier structure of substantially flat general configuration and is slidably mounted on or in a pair of opposed parallel lateral support and / or guide rails, in the manner of a drawer, each rail being fixed rigidly on a wall or a pair of uprights.
  • the loading supports can generally be moved between, on the one hand, a retracted (or retracted) storage position, in which they are located in the outline of the container delimited by the base and the four uprights and, on the other hand , a position at least partially removed or extracted for the establishment or removal of the parts or articles concerned (e) s.
  • the present invention is intended in particular to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the subject of the invention is a container of the aforementioned type, in particular a drawer storage container (s), characterized in that each loading support is slidably guided unilaterally, only one of the two support rails associated with the support concerned also ensuring its guidance in translation.
  • FIGS 1, 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings show, for some only in part, a container 1 of the type comprising, on the one hand, a base 1 'forming a lower frame with generally square or rectangular shape outline, other two opposite side walls or four uprights 2 extending from edge areas or corners of said base 1 'and, finally, at least one, preferably several, support (s) 3 which extend substantially parallel to the base.
  • Each loading support 3 is in the form of a carrier structure with a generally planar general configuration and slidably mounted on or in a pair of parallel rails. opposing support and / or lateral guidance 4 and 4 ', in the manner of a drawer, each rail 4, 4' being rigidly attached to a wall or a pair of uprights 2.
  • each loading support 3 is slidably guided unilaterally, only one of the two support rails 4 and 4 'associated with the support 3 concerned also ensuring its translation guidance.
  • the invention avoids the disadvantages mentioned above in relation to the containers known in the art. Indeed, the maintenance with unguided sliding of the or each support 3 on a 3 'of its two sides 3' and 3 "coming into engagement with the rails or rails 4 and 4 'corresponding corresponding (s), makes it possible to dispense with the need for a precise adjustment between the dimensions of the or each support 3 and the rails 4, 4 'associated therewith, the spacing of said rails 4, 4' and their parallelism. Constructive constraints are thus limited to providing a constant support in all possible positions of the support concerned and a constructive fit between said rails 4, 4 'and the rolling or sliding means of the support 3 concerned.
  • each pair of opposed rails 4, 4 ' cooperating for the purpose of supporting and guiding a substantially flat loading support 3 in translation, comprises, on the one hand, a first profiled rail 4 for supporting and guiding, providing a longitudinal rolling or sliding surface in the sliding direction DC simultaneously with a linear guide in the aforesaid direction, and secondly a second profiled rail 4 'of support only, providing a rolling surface or longitudinal sliding in the sliding direction DC without lateral guidance.
  • each loading support 3 with a substantially square or rectangular contour according to the outer peripheral contour square or rectangular of the base 1 ', comprises along each of its two opposite lateral sides 3' and 3 ", designed to come into abutment or sliding engagement in the profiled bearing and / or guide rails 4, 4 ', a plurality of rolling means 5 such as rollers, rollers, ball or needle bearings or the like, fixed spaced along the concerned side 3 'or 3 ", the rail 4 of the pair of rails of opposed support 4, 4 'which also ensures the translation guide comprising a raceway 6 groove or groove, preferably with automatic alignment properties or self-centering on a rectilinear trajectory in the direction of sliding DC.
  • a plurality of rolling means 5 such as rollers, rollers, ball or needle bearings or the like
  • This advantageous embodiment allows the storage of heavy parts and provides optimum comfort of use.
  • the support between the rolling means 5 and the rolling surfaces at the level of the rails 4 and 4 ' is preferably of the surface type. However, a linear or quasi-linear support may be tolerated between the rolling means 5 and the rail 4 also guiding, if such support is necessary to obtain the desired sliding properties and without jamming.
  • each support and guide rail 4 has opposite rolling faces 6 'inclined towards the bottom of said groove or groove and on which bear and run the rolling means 5 mounted on the relevant side 3 'of the loading support 3 engaging said support rail 4 and guiding in translation.
  • the raceways provided by the two rails 4 and 4 ' are positioned such that the loading supports 3 are arranged substantially parallel to the base 1' and remain parallel to the latter during their movement.
  • the rollers, bearings, rollers or the like forming the guided rolling means may optionally have contact faces with the raceway of the corresponding support and guide rail 4, which are inclined in the opposite direction to make a surface contact. between these faces and the rolling faces of said rail 4.
  • the rails 4 and 4 ' providing bilateral sliding support for the loading supports 3, consist of C-sections, mounted in pairs, with their longitudinal openings 4 "facing each other and with a profiled wing 7 serving as a bearing surface for the rolling means 5 of the loading support 3 received by said pair of opposite rails 4, 4 'considered ( Figures 4 and 5).
  • one of the rails 4, 4 'of each pair of opposite rails 4, 4' comprises, at its lower flange 7 serving as a bearing surface for the bearing means 5 of the loading support 3 concerned, a longitudinal recess or a V-shaped cross sectional section 8, the upper wings 7 'of the rails 4, 4' which do not serve as bearing surfaces extending to short distance above said rolling means 5.
  • pairs of rails 4, 4 'in the form of two C-shaped profiles facing makes it possible to guarantee a conservation of the engagement of the supports 3 in said rails 4, 4' whatever the sliding position of said supports (the rolling means 5 may possibly bear on the upper wings 7 'when the supports 3 are in the extracted position) or whatever the lateral stresses to which these supports are subjected (lateral setting with play).
  • each support 3 may comprise, on the one hand, a rectangular frame 9 sized to fit between the two walls or the four uprights 2 in the retracted or retracted position of said support 3 and bearing on two lateral sides of the rolling means 5, on the other hand, one or more site (s) 10 for receiving part (s) or article (s) 11 intended (s) to be stored in the container 1, this (s) site (s) 10 being located (s) inside the aforementioned frame 9 and formed (s) by a solid structure provided with a fingerprint adapted or for a tubular or screened perforated structure, providing, if appropriate, an indexed positioning for this piece (s) or article (s) 11 and, finally, at least one stop means 12 limiting the extraction of said loading support 3 in the extended position, for example intended to come into contact with cooperating means forming a stop or counter stop, present on the extraction side of said support 3.
  • each loading support 3 is extractable on two opposite lateral sides of the container 1, the frame 9 of at least one loading support 3 being provided with gripping means 13 for sliding training, such as handles or the like.
  • each loading support 3 there may be provided, for each loading support 3, a means 12 "for locking or detachably holding in the retracted or retracted position in which said loading support 3 is entirely arranged in the outline of the container 1, in particular between the four amounts 2.
  • Each means 12 may for example consist of a lug biased laterally projecting, for example by the action of a spring.Compression of said spring, and thus a corresponding retraction of the lug, then allow a displacement of the support 3 concerned out of this retracted position centered.
  • the container 1 will comprise at least two loading supports 3 extending parallel to the base 1 ', each being associated with a pair of support rails 4 and 4', one of which also ensures the unilateral guidance of the corresponding support 3.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du stockage et du conditionnement, en vue de leur transport ou de leur manipulation groupée, d'articles, de produits manufacturés ou de pièces, notamment de composants, d'éléments ou d'ensembles utiles pour la fabrication de machines ou de véhicules, en particulier à la chaîne.The present invention relates to the field of storage and packaging, with a view to their transport or their grouped handling, of articles, manufactured products or parts, in particular of components, elements or assemblies useful for the manufacture of machines or vehicles, especially to the chain.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un conteneur du type comportant une embase formant un châssis inférieur à contour de forme générale carrée ou rectangulaire, quatre montants ou deux parois opposées s'étendant à partir de zones de bords ou des coins de ladite embase et au moins un, préférentiellement plusieurs, support(s) de chargement s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à l'embase. Chaque support de chargement se présente sous la forme d'une structure porteuse à configuration générale sensiblement plane et est montée avec faculté de coulissement sur ou dans une paire de rails parallèles d'appui et/ou de guidage latéraux opposés, à la manière d'un tiroir, chaque rail étant fixé rigidement sur une paroi ou une paire de montants.The invention more particularly relates to a container of the type comprising a base forming a lower frame with generally square or rectangular shape, four uprights or two opposite walls extending from edge areas or corners of said base and at least one, preferably several, loading medium (s) extending substantially parallel to the base. Each loading support is in the form of a carrier structure of substantially flat general configuration and is slidably mounted on or in a pair of opposed parallel lateral support and / or guide rails, in the manner of a drawer, each rail being fixed rigidly on a wall or a pair of uprights.

Ces conteneurs permettent de stocker, préférentiellement sur plusieurs niveaux, des pièces ou des articles. Les supports de chargement peuvent généralement être déplacés entre, d'une part, une position escamotée (ou rentrée) de stockage, dans laquelle ils sont situés dans le contour du conteneur délimité par l'embase et les quatre montants et, d'autre part, une position au moins partiellement sortie ou extraite pour la mise en place ou l'enlèvement des pièces ou articles concerné(e)s.These containers make it possible to store, preferably on several levels, parts or articles. The loading supports can generally be moved between, on the one hand, a retracted (or retracted) storage position, in which they are located in the outline of the container delimited by the base and the four uprights and, on the other hand , a position at least partially removed or extracted for the establishment or removal of the parts or articles concerned (e) s.

Les conteneurs actuels du type précité présentent des inconvénients importants liés au guidage des supports de chargement en forme de tiroirs.Current containers of the aforementioned type have significant drawbacks related to the guiding of the loading supports in the form of drawers.

En effet, ils nécessitent un ajustement précis des dimensions des supports et des dimensions des rails ou glissières assurant leur maintien et leur guidage en déplacement.Indeed, they require a precise adjustment of the dimensions of the supports and the dimensions of the rails or slides ensuring their maintenance and guidance in displacement.

Cet ajustement dimensionnel oblige les constructeurs de conteneurs à respecter des tolérances de fabrication sévères et à réaliser ensuite des opérations de réglage latéral fastidieuses.This dimensional adjustment forces container manufacturers to adhere to severe manufacturing tolerances and then perform tedious side adjustment operations.

En outre, du fait des déformations induites par les charges supportées durant la durée de vie du conteneur, il est également nécessaire d'effectuer à intervalles réguliers des interventions rectificatives ou de remplacement pour éviter un blocage desdits supports rendant les conteneurs inutilisables.In addition, because of the deformations induced by the loads supported during the lifetime of the container, it is also necessary to carry out at regular intervals corrective or replacement interventions to avoid a blockage of said supports rendering the containers unusable.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de surmonter les inconvénients précités.The present invention is intended in particular to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un conteneur du type précité, en particulier un conteneur de stockage à tiroir(s), caractérisé en ce que chaque support de chargement est guidé en coulissement de manière unilatérale, seul l'un des deux rails d'appui associés au support concerné assurant également son guidage en translation.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a container of the aforementioned type, in particular a drawer storage container (s), characterized in that each loading support is slidably guided unilaterally, only one of the two support rails associated with the support concerned also ensuring its guidance in translation.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un conteneur selon l'invention, apte à recevoir quatre supports de chargement, un seul support étant représenté pour des raisons de visibilité ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective à une échelle différente du support de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective à une échelle différente du support des figures 1 et 2 ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue partielle en élévation frontale d'un conteneur similaire à celui de la figure 1 également muni d'un seul support de chargement, et
  • la figure 5 est une vue de détail montrant la coopération par engagement des côtés latéraux opposés du support de la figure 4 avec les rails opposés solidaires des montants du conteneur.
The invention will be better understood thanks to the following description, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the invention, adapted to receive four load carriers, a single support being shown for reasons of visibility;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view on a different scale of the support of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a partial perspective view at a different scale of the support of Figures 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary front elevational view of a container similar to that of FIG. 1, also provided with a single loading support, and
  • Figure 5 is a detail view showing the engagement cooperation of the opposite lateral sides of the support of Figure 4 with the opposite rails integral with the amounts of the container.

Les figures 1, 4 et 5 des dessins annexés montrent, pour certaines seulement en partie, un conteneur 1 du type comportant, d'une part, une embase 1' formant un châssis inférieur à contour de forme générale carrée ou rectangulaire, d'autre part, deux parois latérales opposées ou quatre montants 2 s'étendant à partir de zones de bord ou des coins de ladite embase 1' et, enfin, au moins un, préférentiellement plusieurs, support(s) de chargement 3 qui s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à l'embase. Chaque support de chargement 3 se présente sous la forme d'une structure porteuse à configuration générale sensiblement plane et montée avec faculté de coulissement sur ou dans une paire de rails parallèles opposés d'appui et/ou de guidage latéral 4 et 4', à la manière d'un tiroir, chaque rail 4, 4' étant fixé rigidement sur une paroi ou une paire de montants 2.Figures 1, 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings show, for some only in part, a container 1 of the type comprising, on the one hand, a base 1 'forming a lower frame with generally square or rectangular shape outline, other two opposite side walls or four uprights 2 extending from edge areas or corners of said base 1 'and, finally, at least one, preferably several, support (s) 3 which extend substantially parallel to the base. Each loading support 3 is in the form of a carrier structure with a generally planar general configuration and slidably mounted on or in a pair of parallel rails. opposing support and / or lateral guidance 4 and 4 ', in the manner of a drawer, each rail 4, 4' being rigidly attached to a wall or a pair of uprights 2.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque support de chargement 3 est guidé en coulissement de manière unilatérale, seul l'un 4 des deux rails d'appui 4 et 4' associés au support 3 concerné assurant également son guidage en translation.According to the invention, each loading support 3 is slidably guided unilaterally, only one of the two support rails 4 and 4 'associated with the support 3 concerned also ensuring its translation guidance.

En prévoyant un guidage unilatéral du ou des support(s) 3, l'invention permet d'éviter des inconvénients évoqués précédemment en relation avec les conteneurs connus de la technique. En effet, le maintien avec faculté de coulissement non guidé du ou de chaque support 3 sur un 3' de ses deux côtés 3' et 3" venant en engagement avec les rails ou glissières 4 et 4' en regard correspondant(e)s, permet de s'affranchir de la nécessité d'un ajustement précis entre les dimensions du ou de chaque support 3 et des rails 4, 4' qui lui sont associés, de l'écartement desdits rails 4, 4' et de leur parallélisme. Les contraintes constructives se limitent ainsi à la fourniture d'un appui constant dans toutes les positions possibles du support concerné et une adéquation constructive entre lesdits rails 4, 4' et les moyens de roulement ou de glissement du support 3 concerné.By providing a unilateral guide of the support (s) 3, the invention avoids the disadvantages mentioned above in relation to the containers known in the art. Indeed, the maintenance with unguided sliding of the or each support 3 on a 3 'of its two sides 3' and 3 "coming into engagement with the rails or rails 4 and 4 'corresponding corresponding (s), makes it possible to dispense with the need for a precise adjustment between the dimensions of the or each support 3 and the rails 4, 4 'associated therewith, the spacing of said rails 4, 4' and their parallelism. Constructive constraints are thus limited to providing a constant support in all possible positions of the support concerned and a constructive fit between said rails 4, 4 'and the rolling or sliding means of the support 3 concerned.

Plus précisément, chaque paire de rails opposés 4, 4', coopérant en vue du support et du guidage en translation d'un support de chargement 3 sensiblement plan, comprend, d'une part, un premier rail profilé 4 d'appui et de guidage, fournissant une surface de roulement ou de glissement longitudinale dans la direction de coulissement DC avec simultanément un guidage linéaire dans la direction précitée, et, d'autre part, un second rail profilé 4' d'appui uniquement, fournissant une surface de roulement ou de glissement longitudinale dans la direction de coulissement DC sans guidage latéral.More specifically, each pair of opposed rails 4, 4 ', cooperating for the purpose of supporting and guiding a substantially flat loading support 3 in translation, comprises, on the one hand, a first profiled rail 4 for supporting and guiding, providing a longitudinal rolling or sliding surface in the sliding direction DC simultaneously with a linear guide in the aforesaid direction, and secondly a second profiled rail 4 'of support only, providing a rolling surface or longitudinal sliding in the sliding direction DC without lateral guidance.

Ces rails 4, 4' peuvent être solidarisés directement sur les montants 2 ou être fixés sur des pièces intermédiaires de solidarisation.These rails 4, 4 'can be secured directly to the uprights 2 or be fixed to intermediate fasteners.

Le coulissement du ou des support(s) dans les rails 4 et 4' peut être réalisé par glissement (prévision de surfaces à faible coefficient de friction).The sliding of the support (s) in the rails 4 and 4 'can be made by sliding (prediction of low friction surfaces).

Néanmoins, en accord avec un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, et comme le montrent les figures 2 à 5 des dessins annexés, chaque support de chargement 3, à contour sensiblement carré ou rectangulaire selon le contour périphérique extérieur carré ou rectangulaire de l'embase 1', comporte le long de chacun de ses deux côtés latéraux opposés 3' et 3", destinés à venir en appui ou en engagement coulissant dans les rails profilés d'appui et/ou de guidage 4, 4', une pluralité de moyens de roulement 5 tels que des galets, des rouleaux, des roulements à billes ou à aiguilles ou analogues, fixés de manière espacée le long du côté concerné 3' ou 3", le rail 4 de la paire de rails d'appui opposés 4, 4' qui assure également le guidage en translation comportant un chemin de roulement 6 à gorge ou à rainure, préférentiellement à propriétés d'alignement automatique ou d'autocentrage sur une trajectoire rectiligne dans la direction de coulissement DC.Nevertheless, in accordance with an advantageous embodiment of the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 of the accompanying drawings, each loading support 3, with a substantially square or rectangular contour according to the outer peripheral contour square or rectangular of the base 1 ', comprises along each of its two opposite lateral sides 3' and 3 ", designed to come into abutment or sliding engagement in the profiled bearing and / or guide rails 4, 4 ', a plurality of rolling means 5 such as rollers, rollers, ball or needle bearings or the like, fixed spaced along the concerned side 3 'or 3 ", the rail 4 of the pair of rails of opposed support 4, 4 'which also ensures the translation guide comprising a raceway 6 groove or groove, preferably with automatic alignment properties or self-centering on a rectilinear trajectory in the direction of sliding DC.

Ce mode de réalisation avantageux permet le stockage de pièces lourdes et fournit un confort d'utilisation optimal.This advantageous embodiment allows the storage of heavy parts and provides optimum comfort of use.

L'appui entre les moyens de roulement 5 et les surfaces de roulement au niveau des rails 4 et 4' est préférentiellement de type surfacique. Toutefois, un appui linéaire ou quasi linéaire peut être toléré entre les moyens de roulement 5 et le rail 4 assurant également le guidage, si un tel appui est nécessaire pour obtenir les propriétés de coulissement guidé et sans coincement souhaitées.The support between the rolling means 5 and the rolling surfaces at the level of the rails 4 and 4 'is preferably of the surface type. However, a linear or quasi-linear support may be tolerated between the rolling means 5 and the rail 4 also guiding, if such support is necessary to obtain the desired sliding properties and without jamming.

Selon une variante de réalisation préférée de l'invention, ressortant en particulier des figures 4 et 5, le chemin de roulement à gorge ou à rainure 6 de chaque rail d'appui et de guidage 4 comporte des faces de roulement opposées 6' inclinées vers le fond de ladite gorge ou rainure et sur lesquelles prennent appui et circulent les moyens de roulement 5 montés sur le côté 3' concerné du support de chargement 3 engageant ledit rail 4 d'appui et de guidage en translation.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, particularly in accordance with FIGS. 4 and 5, the grooved or grooved raceway 6 of each support and guide rail 4 has opposite rolling faces 6 'inclined towards the bottom of said groove or groove and on which bear and run the rolling means 5 mounted on the relevant side 3 'of the loading support 3 engaging said support rail 4 and guiding in translation.

Les chemins de roulement fournis par les deux rails 4 et 4' sont positionnés de telle manière que les supports de chargement 3 soient disposés sensiblement parallèlement à l'embase 1' et restent parallèles à cette dernière au cours de leur déplacement.The raceways provided by the two rails 4 and 4 'are positioned such that the loading supports 3 are arranged substantially parallel to the base 1' and remain parallel to the latter during their movement.

Les galets, roulements, rouleaux ou analogues formant les moyens de roulement 5 guidés peuvent éventuellement présenter des faces de contact avec le chemin de roulement du rail d'appui et de guidage 4 correspondant, qui sont inclinées dans le sens opposé pour réaliser un contact surfacique entre ces faces et les faces de roulement dudit rail 4.The rollers, bearings, rollers or the like forming the guided rolling means may optionally have contact faces with the raceway of the corresponding support and guide rail 4, which are inclined in the opposite direction to make a surface contact. between these faces and the rolling faces of said rail 4.

Conformément à une caractéristique très avantageuse de l'invention, il peut être prévu que les rails 4 et 4', fournissant un appui bilatéral avec coulissement pour les supports de chargement 3, consistent en des profilés en C, montés par paire, avec leurs ouvertures longitudinales 4" mutuellement en regard et avec une aile profilée 7 servant de surface d'appui pour les moyens de roulement 5 du support de chargement 3 reçu par ladite paire de rails opposés 4, 4' considérée (figures 4 et 5).According to a very advantageous characteristic of the invention, it can be provided that the rails 4 and 4 ', providing bilateral sliding support for the loading supports 3, consist of C-sections, mounted in pairs, with their longitudinal openings 4 "facing each other and with a profiled wing 7 serving as a bearing surface for the rolling means 5 of the loading support 3 received by said pair of opposite rails 4, 4 'considered (Figures 4 and 5).

De plus, l'un 4 des rails 4, 4' de chaque paire de rails 4, 4' opposés, formant rail d'appui et de guidage, comporte, au niveau de son aile inférieure 7 servant de surface d'appui pour les moyens de roulement 5 du support de chargement 3 concerné, une empreinte longitudinale ou un profilé rapporté à section en forme de V 8, les ailes supérieures 7' des rails 4, 4' qui ne servent pas de surfaces d'appui s'étendant à faible distance au-dessus desdits moyens de roulement 5.In addition, one of the rails 4, 4 'of each pair of opposite rails 4, 4', forming a support and guide rail, comprises, at its lower flange 7 serving as a bearing surface for the bearing means 5 of the loading support 3 concerned, a longitudinal recess or a V-shaped cross sectional section 8, the upper wings 7 'of the rails 4, 4' which do not serve as bearing surfaces extending to short distance above said rolling means 5.

Une telle réalisation des paires de rails 4, 4' sous la forme de deux profilés en C en regard permet de garantir une conservation de l'engagement des supports 3 dans lesdits rails 4, 4' quelle que soit la position en coulissement desdits supports (les moyens de roulement 5 peuvent éventuellement prendre appui sur les ailes supérieures 7' lorsque les supports 3 sont en position extraite) ou quelles que soient les sollicitations latérales auxquelles ces supports sont soumis (calage latéral avec jeu).Such an embodiment of the pairs of rails 4, 4 'in the form of two C-shaped profiles facing makes it possible to guarantee a conservation of the engagement of the supports 3 in said rails 4, 4' whatever the sliding position of said supports ( the rolling means 5 may possibly bear on the upper wings 7 'when the supports 3 are in the extracted position) or whatever the lateral stresses to which these supports are subjected (lateral setting with play).

En accord avec une réalisation pratique simple et économique de l'invention, chaque support 3 peut comprendre, d'une part, un cadre rectangulaire 9 dimensionné pour s'inscrire entre les deux parois ou les quatre montants 2 en position escamotée ou rentrée dudit support 3 et portant sur deux côtés latéraux des moyens de roulement 5, d'autre part, un ou plusieurs site(s) 10 de réception de pièce(s) ou d'article(s) 11 destiné(e)(s) à être stocké(e)(s) dans le conteneur 1, ce(s) site(s) 10 étant situé(s) à l'intérieur du cadre 9 précité et formé(s) par une structure pleine pourvue d'une empreinte adaptée ou pour une structure ajourée tubulaire ou grillagée, en fournissant le cas échéant un positionnement indexé pour cet(te)(s) pièce(s) ou article(s) 11 et, enfin, au moins un moyen formant butée 12 limitant l'extraction dudit support de chargement 3 en position sortie, par exemple destiné à venir en contact sur un moyen 12' coopérant formant arrêt ou contre-butée, présent du côté de l'extraction dudit support 3.In accordance with a simple and economical practical embodiment of the invention, each support 3 may comprise, on the one hand, a rectangular frame 9 sized to fit between the two walls or the four uprights 2 in the retracted or retracted position of said support 3 and bearing on two lateral sides of the rolling means 5, on the other hand, one or more site (s) 10 for receiving part (s) or article (s) 11 intended (s) to be stored in the container 1, this (s) site (s) 10 being located (s) inside the aforementioned frame 9 and formed (s) by a solid structure provided with a fingerprint adapted or for a tubular or screened perforated structure, providing, if appropriate, an indexed positioning for this piece (s) or article (s) 11 and, finally, at least one stop means 12 limiting the extraction of said loading support 3 in the extended position, for example intended to come into contact with cooperating means forming a stop or counter stop, present on the extraction side of said support 3.

Préférentiellement, chaque support de chargement 3 est extractible sur deux côtés latéraux opposés du conteneur 1, le cadre 9 d'au moins un support de chargement 3 étant pourvu de moyens de préhension 13 en vue de son entraînement en coulissement, tels que des poignées ou analogues.Preferably, each loading support 3 is extractable on two opposite lateral sides of the container 1, the frame 9 of at least one loading support 3 being provided with gripping means 13 for sliding training, such as handles or the like.

De plus, il peut être prévu, pour chaque support de chargement 3, un moyen 12" de verrouillage ou de maintien amovible en position escamotée ou rentrée dans laquelle ledit support de chargement 3 est entièrement disposé dans le contour du conteneur 1, en particulier entre les quatre montants 2.In addition, there may be provided, for each loading support 3, a means 12 "for locking or detachably holding in the retracted or retracted position in which said loading support 3 is entirely arranged in the outline of the container 1, in particular between the four amounts 2.

Chaque moyen 12" peut par exemple consister en un ergot sollicité latéralement en saillie, par exemple par l'action d'un ressort. Une compression dudit ressort, et donc un escamotage correspondant de l'ergot, autorisera alors un déplacement du support 3 concerné hors de cette position escamotée centrée.Each means 12 "may for example consist of a lug biased laterally projecting, for example by the action of a spring.Compression of said spring, and thus a corresponding retraction of the lug, then allow a displacement of the support 3 concerned out of this retracted position centered.

Comme il est possible de le déduire de la figure 1, le conteneur 1 comportera au moins deux supports de chargement 3 s'étendant parallèlement à l'embase 1', chacun étant associé à une paire de rails d'appui 4 et 4', dont l'un 4 assure également le guidage unilatéral du support 3 correspondant.As can be deduced from FIG. 1, the container 1 will comprise at least two loading supports 3 extending parallel to the base 1 ', each being associated with a pair of support rails 4 and 4', one of which also ensures the unilateral guidance of the corresponding support 3.

Afin de fournir un conteneur léger et aisément superposable, l'embase 1' peut présenter une constitution tubulaire apte à être manipulée par un chariot de manutention, préférentiellement en forme de palette aux dimensions standard, et ladite embase 1' peut comporter au niveau de ses coins des ergots 14 aptes à être emboîtés dans les ouvertures des extrémités supérieures des montants 2 d'un autre conteneur 1 ou dans des coupelles 14' rapportées sur ces extrémités, de manière à autoriser un gerbage de deux conteneurs 1.In order to provide a lightweight and easily stackable container, the base 1 'may have a tubular constitution adapted to be handled by a handling carriage, preferably pallet-shaped to standard dimensions, and said base 1' may comprise at its level. corners of the lugs 14 adapted to be nested in the openings of the upper ends of the uprights 2 of another container 1 or in cups 14 'attached to these ends, so as to allow stacking of two containers 1.

En variante ou de manière supplémentaire, l'embase 1' peut être équipée de moyens de roulement, tels que par exemple des galets, des rouleaux ou des roues, éventuellement pour certain(e)s pivotant(e)s autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan de l'embase 1' (non représenté).Alternatively or additionally, the base 1 'can be equipped with rolling means, such as for example rollers, rollers or wheels, possibly for some pivoting around an axis. perpendicular to the plane of the base 1 '(not shown).

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
