Description

Armoire dépourvue de pièces de fixation  Cabinet without fasteners
Domaine de l’invention Field of the invention
L’invention concerne les armoires utilisées de préférence pour le rangement de vêtements et comprenant en général plusieurs compartiments, par exemple sous forme de casier.  The invention relates to cabinets preferably used for storing clothes and generally comprising several compartments, for example in the form of a locker.
Etat de la technique State of the art
Les divers éléments formant les armoires de l’état de la technique sont généralement assemblés au moyen de pièces de fixation. Par « pièce de fixation » on entend un objet de relative faible dimension, distinct des éléments de l’armoire, tel que vis, boulon, plaquette ou cheville.  The various elements forming the cabinets of the state of the art are generally assembled by means of fasteners. By "fastener" is meant an object of relatively small size, distinct from the elements of the cabinet, such as screw, bolt, plate or peg.
il existe par ailleurs des armoires, voir p.ex. la demande de brevet FR 2.143.319, dont l’assemblage des éléments est réalisé sans pièce de fixation. there are also cabinets, see for example the patent application FR 2.143.319, the assembly of the elements is made without fixing piece.
Bien que ce type d’armoire présente plusieurs avantages, en particulier celui d’être assemblée rapidement et d’être aisément transportable sous forme compacte, il en résulte certains inconvénients, parmi lesquels une relative faible rigidité de l’ensemble, une difficulté de montage, de démontage et un risque plus élevé de se blesser, à cause du fait que les éléments d’armoire peuvent avoir des bords tranchants.  Although this type of cabinet has several advantages, in particular that of being assembled quickly and being easily transportable in compact form, it results in certain disadvantages, among which a relative low rigidity of the assembly, a difficulty of assembly , disassembly and a higher risk of injury, due to the fact that the cabinet elements may have sharp edges.
Description de l’invention Description of the invention
Un des buts de la présente invention consiste à renforcer la rigidité des armoires qui sont dépourvues de pièces de fixation.  One of the aims of the present invention is to reinforce the rigidity of the cabinets which are devoid of fasteners.
Un autre but consiste à faciliter le montage et le démontage des armoires.  Another purpose is to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cabinets.
Un autre but consiste à réduire la durée d’assemblage des éléments, notamment la fixation des portes.  Another purpose is to reduce the assembly time of the elements, including the fixing of the doors.
Un autre but consiste à diminuer le risque de se blesser lors de l’assemblage.  Another goal is to reduce the risk of injury during assembly.
Ces buts sont atteints avec la présente invention. These objects are achieved with the present invention.
Celle-ci concerne une armoire comprenant plusieurs parois verticales rectangulaires présentant chacune deux bords verticaux et deux bords horizontaux ; caractérisée par le fait qu’elle comprend au moins un élément creux allongé, disposé verticalement et lié à - ou faisant partie de - l’une desdites parois, au niveau de sa partie inférieure ou supérieure, ainsi qu’un élément de liaison formé d’au moins une partie horizontale et d’une partie verticale adaptée pour être logée à l’intérieur de l’élément creux, la partie horizontale étant adaptée pour être fixée directement ou indirectement à un autre élément de l’armoire, distinct de la paroi sur laquelle se trouve l’élément creux. This concerns a cabinet comprising a plurality of rectangular vertical walls each having two vertical edges and two edges horizontal; characterized in that it comprises at least one elongated hollow element, arranged vertically and connected to - or part of - one of said walls, at its lower or upper part, and a connecting element formed of at least one horizontal part and a vertical part adapted to be housed inside the hollow element, the horizontal part being adapted to be fixed directly or indirectly to another element of the cabinet, distinct from the wall; on which is the hollow element.
Dans le présent document, l’expression « bord vertical » doit être comprise comme un bord destiné à être orienté verticalement, càd perpendiculairement au sol sur lequel repose l’armoire lorsque cette dernière de se trouve dans sa position régulière. In this document, the term "vertical edge" shall be understood as an edge intended to be oriented vertically, ie perpendicular to the floor on which the cabinet rests when the latter is in its regular position.
De même, par « bord horizontal », il faut comprendre un bord orienté perpendiculairement à l’orientation du bord vertical précité.  Similarly, the term "horizontal edge" should include an edge oriented perpendicular to the orientation of the aforementioned vertical edge.
L’élément creux peut avoir n’importe quelle forme ou dimension il doit seulement être adapté de manière à renforcer la rigidité de l’ensemble une fois que la partie verticale de l’élément de liaison est logée dans celui-ci.  The hollow member may be of any shape or size it only needs to be adapted to enhance the rigidity of the assembly once the vertical portion of the connecting member is housed therein.
De préférence, la partie creuse de l’élément allongé est orientée verticalement. Selon un mode réalisation avantageux de l’invention, l’élément de liaison est en forme de U, avantageusement fermé. Dans ce cas, chaque partie verticale est de préférence destinée à être logée à l’intérieur d’un élément allongé fixé ou faisant partie intégrante d’une paroi verticale.  Preferably, the hollow portion of the elongate member is oriented vertically. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is U-shaped, advantageously closed. In this case, each vertical portion is preferably intended to be housed inside an elongated element fixed or integral with a vertical wall.
Le ou les éléments de liaison sont de préférence disposé dans la partie inférieure de l’armoire mais peuvent cependant également l’être, exclusivement ou non, vers la partie supérieure.  The connection element or elements are preferably arranged in the lower part of the cabinet but can however also be, exclusively or not, towards the upper part.
N’importe quel forme peut être envisagée pour l’élément de liaison, sous réserve que celui-ci remplisse sa fonction d’élément rigidifiant de l’ensemble. Any shape can be envisaged for the connecting element, provided that it fulfills its function as a stiffening element of the assembly.
