La partie inférieure du montant arrière gauche 109 présente un orifice 703. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'orifice 703 est défini par un embout sur une extrémité basse du montant arrière gauche 109, qui est sous forme d'un tube creux rectangulaire. L'embout n'obture cette extrémité que partiellement, laissant ainsi l'orifice 703. Un fluide qui aurait pu pénétrer le montant arrière gauche 109 peut ainsi s'écouler dans le profilé creux 702 du pied d'angle arrière gauche 701. Plus spécifiquement, le fluide s'écoule d'abord dans la base de fixation arrière gauche 120 qui comprend également une extrémité partiellement ouverte.The lower portion of the left
Le pied d'angle arrière gauche 701 comprend une partie inférieure munie d'un patin 704. Le patin 704 maintien une distance entre le profilé creux 702 de ce pied d'angle 701 et un sol sur lequel le conteneur 100 est posé. La partie inférieure du pied d'angle arrière gauche 701 comprend un orifice 705. Le fluide qui s'est écoulé du montant arrière gauche 109 dans le profilé creux 702 du pied d'angle arrière gauche 701, peut ensuite s'écouler sur le sol par cet orifice 705. Ainsi, l'eau qui aurait pu pénétrer le montant arrière gauche 109 peut s'évacuer par gravité. Cet agencement évite une rétention d'eau dans le montant arrière gauche 109, ainsi que dans le pied d'angle arrière gauche 701, qui pourrait causer de la rouille.The left
Plus spécifiquement, la partie inférieure du pied d'angle arrière gauche 701 comprend un plancher 706 fixé au profilé creux 702 de ce pied d'angle 701. Le patin 704 est fixé à ce plancher 706 par, par exemple, rivetage. Le plancher 706 de la partie inférieure comprend quatre coins coupés. Le patin 704 comprend aussi quatre coins coupés. Dans ce mode de réalisation, ces coins coupés sont forcément alignés pour former quatre orifices de la partie inférieure. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le plancher 706 et le patin 704 peuvent chacun comprendre, par l'exemple, qu'un seul coin coupé. Dans ce mode de réalisation, il convient d'aligner le coin coupé du plancher 706 et le coin coupé du patin 704 pour former un orifice de la partie inférieure.More specifically, the lower part of the left

La description détaillée qui vient d'être faite en référence aux dessins n'est qu'une illustration de quelques modes de réalisation de l'invention. L'invention peut être réalisée de nombreuses façons différentes. Afin d'illustrer ceci, quelques alternatives sont indiquées sommairement.The detailed description which has just been made with reference to the drawings is only an illustration of some embodiments of the invention. The invention can be realized in many different ways. In order to illustrate this, some alternatives are indicated briefly.
L'invention peut être appliquée à de nombreux produits et procédés logistiques. Par exemple, l'invention peut, en principe, être appliquée à tous types de modules logistiques présentant une ouverture pour le chargement et le déchargement d'objets et comprenant une paire de volets antichute apte à obturer cette ouverture. Un conteneur tel qu'illustré à la
Il existe différentes façons de réaliser un module logistique conforme à l'invention. Par exemple, un tel module logistique peut comprendre une paire de skis au lieu de quatre pieds d'angle, où en complément de quatre pieds d'angle. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, le module logistique peut se tenir sur un sol, ou peut se tenir sur un autre module logistique, par l'intermédiaire de la paire de skis.There are different ways to realize a logistics module according to the invention. For example, such a logistics module may include a pair of skis instead of four corner feet, or in addition to four corner feet. In such an embodiment, the logistics module can stand on a floor, or can stand on another logistics module, through the pair of skis.
De façon globale, le terme « module logistique » doit donc être interprété de façon large. Ce terme embrasse toute entité dans laquelle des objets peuvent être posés pour, par exemple, des besoins de stockage ou de transport. Le terme « volet antichute » doit être interprété de façon large. Ce terme embrasse toute entité pouvant obturer, au moins partiellement, une ouverture permettant un chargement ou un déchargement d'objets. Les termes « éléments auto-agrippants » et « éléments auto-agrippants complémentaires » doivent être interprétés de façon large et, de plus, ils sont interchangeables. Par exemple, des poils de velours peuvent constituer des éléments auto-agrippants, tandis que des crochets peuvent constituer des éléments auto-agrippants complémentaires, ou vice versa. Il convient également de souligner que les adjectifs tels que « avant », « arrière », « gauche », et « droit » qui apparaissent dans la description détaillée ne sont aucunement limitatifs. Les adjectifs ont été employés pour des raisons d'illustration et de convenance et peuvent être parfaitement interchangeables. En inversant le sens du conteneur en question avant devient arrière et gauche devient droit, et vice versa.Overall, the term "logistics module" must be interpreted broadly. This term embraces any entity in which objects may be placed for, for example, storage or transport requirements. The term "fall arrest" should be interpreted broadly. This term embraces any entity that can seal, at least partially, an opening for loading or unloading objects. The terms "hook-and-loop" and "self-gripping" are to be interpreted broadly and, moreover, interchangeable. For example, pile hairs can be self-gripping elements, while hooks can be complementary self-gripping elements, or vice versa. It should also be noted that adjectives such as "before", "back", "left", and "right" that appear in the detailed description are in no way limiting. The adjectives have been used for reasons of illustration and convenience and can be perfectly interchangeable. By reversing the meaning of the container in question before getting back and left becomes right, and vice versa.
Les remarques qui précèdent montrent que la description détaillée en référence aux figures, illustre l'invention plutôt qu'elle ne la limite. Les signes de références n'ont aucun caractère limitatif. Les verbes « comprendre » et « comporter » n'excluent pas la présence d'autres éléments ou d'autres étapes que ceux listés dans les revendications. Le mot « un » ou « une » précédant un élément ou une étape n'exclut pas la présence d'une pluralité de tels éléments ou de telles étapes.The foregoing remarks show that the detailed description with reference to the figures illustrates the invention rather than limiting it. The reference signs are in no way limiting. The verbs "understand" and "include" do not exclude the presence of other elements or steps other than those listed in the claims. The word "a" or "an" preceding an element or a step does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements or steps.
