Il comprend un ou plusieurs rails 30 (de préférence deux) fixé(s) au support horizontal 40, dans lequel glisse un élément de glissement respectif 21 fixé au fond 18 du caisson, faisant ainsi coulisser le caisson horizontalement par rapport au support.The slide device according to the invention is substantially horizontal. It comprises one or more rails 30 (preferably two) fixed to the horizontal support 40, in which slides a respective sliding element 21 fixed to the bottom 18 of the box, thus sliding the box horizontally relative to the support.

En se référant aux figures 2A et 2B, et selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, deux paires symétriques de barres horizontales 22, 24 parallèles à l'axe de coulissement du caisson, sont disposées de part et d'autre du fond du caisson 18. Les deux paires de barres sont reliées entre elles à travers le fond du caisson 18 par des moyens de fixation 23, tels que des vis. Ces barres sont de préférence réalisées en un matériau métallique ou tout autre matériau solide. Les barres externes 24 sont avantageusement prolongées d'un côté du fond 18 du caisson, par un axe 20, de préférence courbé à 90°, s'étendant en éloignement du fond et dont l'extrémité du prolongement se termine par un élément de glissement 21, avantageusement en forme de T. La barre horizontale du T, par exemple cylindrique et enrobée d'un plastique très rigide, est destinée à glisser dans un rail 30. Des roulettes peuvent aussi être adaptées aux extrémités de la pièce en T, et/ou dans ledit rail 30.Referring to Figures 2A and 2B, and according to a first embodiment of the invention, two symmetrical pairs of horizontal bars 22, 24 parallel to the axis of sliding of the box, are arranged on either side of the bottom The two pairs of bars are interconnected through the bottom of the box 18 by fastening means 23, such as screws. These bars are preferably made of a metallic material or any other solid material. The outer bars 24 are advantageously extended on one side of the bottom 18 of the box, by an axis 20, preferably bent at 90 °, extending away from the bottom and the end of the extension terminates in a sliding member. 21, advantageously T-shaped. The horizontal bar of the T, for example cylindrical and coated with a very plastic rigid, is intended to slide in a rail 30. Wheels may also be adapted to the ends of the T-piece, and / or in said rail 30.

Comme évoqué précédemment, et en référence aux figures 3A à 3D, le dispositif de glissière comprend au moins un rail. Sur les figures, deux rails parallèles 30 sont représentés, qui sont par exemple métalliques, et qui sont adaptés à recevoir la partie horizontale de l'élément de glissement en T prolongeant chaque barre externe 24. Ces rails peuvent être reliés par au moins un élément de traverse, dans le cas représenté deux traverses métalliques 32 de même longueur, pour assurer le parallélisme des deux rails. Ces barres métalliques peuvent comporter des roulettes 33. En référence à la figure 3A, la barre métallique reliant les deux rails 30, située le plus avant du meuble ou de l'étagère, est équipée de roulettes 33. Le déplacement horizontal du caisson est facilité par ces roulettes, celles-ci roulant sur la face externe du fond 18 du caisson. En variante, ou de manière additionnelle, des roulettes peuvent aussi être prévues directement sur le support 40.As mentioned above, and with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D, the slide device comprises at least one rail. In the figures, two parallel rails 30 are shown, which are for example metallic, and which are adapted to receive the horizontal portion of the T-shaped sliding element extending each outer bar 24. These rails can be connected by at least one element crosswise, in the case shown two metal sleepers 32 of the same length, to ensure the parallelism of the two rails. These metal bars may comprise rollers 33. With reference to FIG. 3A, the metal bar connecting the two rails 30, situated furthest forward of the cabinet or the shelf, is equipped with rollers 33. The horizontal displacement of the box is facilitated by these wheels, these rolling on the outer face of the bottom 18 of the box. Alternatively, or additionally, rollers may also be provided directly on the support 40.

Les rails de coulissement 30 et ledit au moins un élément de traverse 32 sont fixés au support 40, par exemple vissés sur une étagère ou sur la paroi supérieure d'un meuble haut, perpendiculairement au mur sur lequel le meuble est adossé. D'autres moyens de fixation sont bien entendu envisageables.The sliding rails 30 and said at least one cross member 32 are fixed to the support 40, for example screwed on a shelf or on the top wall of a high piece of furniture, perpendicular to the wall on which the piece of furniture is backed. Other fixing means are of course conceivable.

Les bords latéraux verticaux de chaque rail s'étendent horizontalement au-dessus du rail pour ne laisser qu'un espace central supérieur longitudinal libre 34 (c'est-à-dire non recouvert par les bords du rail) de largeur suffisante pour contenir l'élément de glissement 21. Ainsi, comme représenté sur la figure 3B, chaque rail peut comporter deux profils latéraux en U se faisant face, recevant chacun un bord latéral dudit élément de glissement en forme de T 21. Une ouverture longitudinale 34 sépare lesdits deux profils latéraux en U pour permettre le passage de la barre centrale du T, en l'occurrence l'axe 20 courbé à 90°.The vertical lateral edges of each rail extend horizontally above the rail to leave only a free longitudinal central space 34 (that is to say not covered by the edges of the rail) of sufficient width to contain the rail. Sliding element 21. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3B, each rail may comprise two facing U-shaped side profiles, each receiving a lateral edge of said T-shaped sliding element 21. A longitudinal opening 34 separates said two lateral U-shaped profiles to allow the passage of the central bar of the T, in this case the axis 20 bent at 90 °.

A quelques centimètres de l'extrémité arrière des rails 30, côté mur, peut se trouver avantageusement une encoche 35, large de 1,5 centimètre par exemple, traversant toute la largeur supérieure du rail. Cette encoche permet d'introduire l'élément de glissement en T respectif. Ainsi, la forme des profils latéraux en U du rail définit un espace interne du rail dont la section est adaptée à recevoir ladite barre horizontale du T, qui est introduite par l'encoche arrière 35, et à maintenir la barre horizontale du T à l'intérieur dudit rail, ceci perpendiculairement à la direction de coulissement le long du rail dans le cas représenté sur les figures, mais d'autres configurations de coulissement sont évidement possibles.A few centimeters from the rear end of the rails 30, wall side, can advantageously be a notch 35, 1.5 centimeters wide, for example, through the entire upper width of the rail. This notch makes it possible to introduce the respective sliding element into T. Thus, the shape of the U-shaped side profiles of the rail defines an internal space of the rail whose section is adapted to receive said horizontal bar of the T, which is introduced by the rear notch 35, and to maintain the horizontal bar of the T inside said rail, this perpendicularly to the direction of sliding along the rail in the case shown in the figures, but other sliding configurations are obviously possible.

Chaque rail est au moins partiellement refermé à son extrémité avant 36 pour former une butée pour l'élément de glissement en T (21). Celui-ci forme ainsi un axe de pivotement ou de bascule du caisson 10, qui peut ainsi pivoter, de préférence de 90°, vers l'avant du support, par exemple sous l'effet d'une traction par l'utilisateur de la poignée en U 14 du caisson. De cette façon, le fond 18 du caisson passe d'une position sensiblement horizontale (selon l'inclinaison du support 40) à une position sensiblement verticale, comme schématisé sur la figure 5, facilitant l'accès à l'espace intérieur du caisson 10.Each rail is at least partially closed at its forward end 36 to form a stop for the T-slide member (21). The latter thus forms a pivoting or tilting axis of the box 10, which can thus pivot, preferably 90 °, towards the front of the support, for example under the effect of a traction by the user of the U-shaped handle 14 of the box. In this way, the bottom 18 of the box goes from a substantially horizontal position (according to the inclination of the support 40) to a substantially vertical position, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, facilitating access to the interior space of the box 10 .

Le dispositif peut comprendre, outre le caisson et le système de glissière, des moyens de tirage/poussée 50 du bac commandé par l'utilisateur. En référence aux figures 4A et 4B, ces moyens de tirage/poussée peuvent comprendre un crochet 52, par exemple métallique, et un manche 51, qui peut être télescopique à la manière d'un manche d'aspirateur. Ce crochet permet à l'utilisateur d'atteindre facilement le moyen d'accroche, tel que la poignée 14 du caisson, et de commander sa descente ou remontée sans avoir besoin d'un escabeau.The device may comprise, in addition to the box and the slide system, pull / push means 50 of the tray controlled by the user. With reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B, these pulling / pushing means may comprise a hook 52, for example a metal hook, and a handle 51, which may be telescopic in the manner of a vacuum handle. This hook allows the user to easily reach the attachment means, such as the handle 14 of the box, and to control its descent or ascent without the need for a stool.

Ainsi, en partant de la position de stockage, représentée sur la partie supérieure de la figure 5, l'utilisateur tire horizontalement sur le caisson 10, et les éléments de glissement 21 glissent dans les rails 30 jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient arrêtés par les butées avant 36 des rails. Le caisson 10 peut alors basculer autour desdits éléments de glissement 21 vers la position basse.Thus, starting from the storage position, represented on the upper part of FIG. 5, the user pulls horizontally on the box 10, and the sliding elements 21 slide in the rails 30 until they are stopped. by the front stops 36 of the rails. The casing 10 can then tilt around said sliding elements 21 towards the low position.

L'utilisateur peut retenir le caisson à l'aide du crochet afin que cette rotation ne soit pas trop brutale. Des tampons 25, par exemple en plastique, collés à l'avant extérieur du fond 18 du caisson peuvent aussi être prévus pour amortir le contact du caisson avec le support, en position basse. D'autres moyens d'amortissement sont aussi envisageables. Le caisson initialement en position horizontale haute se retrouve alors en position verticale, comme représenté sur la figure 6, à hauteur convenable et sa porte 11 face à l'utilisateur. L'utilisateur peut alors ouvrir cette porte à la main et y déposer ou en retirer ce qu'il désire. Pour repositionner le caisson 10 sur le meuble porteur 40 il suffira de le rebasculer en position horizontale à l'aide du crochet 50 et de le repousser vers sa position de stockage.The user can hold the box with the hook so that this rotation is not too brutal. Pads 25, for example plastic, glued to the outer front of the bottom 18 of the box may also be provided to damp the contact of the box with the support, in the low position. Other damping means are also conceivable. The box initially in high horizontal position is found then in a vertical position, as shown in Figure 6, at a suitable height and its door 11 facing the user. The user can then open the door by hand and deposit or remove what he wants. To reposition the box 10 on the furniture carrier 40 it will be sufficient to rebase into the horizontal position with the hook 50 and push it back to its storage position.

La présente invention a été décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation avantageux de celle-ci, mais il est bien entendu qu'elle n'est pas limitée par les exemples représentés sur les dessins. Des modifications sont envisageables pour l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention tel que défini par ies revendications annexées.The present invention has been described with reference to an advantageous embodiment thereof, but it is understood that it is not limited by the examples shown in the drawings. Modifications are conceivable for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
