Description

COLIS A VOLUME DE STOCKAGE ADAPTABLE A UN CONTENU PARCELS WITH A STORAGE VOLUME ADAPTABLE TO A CONTENT
Le domaine de l’invention est celui de la conception et de la fabrication de moyens de transport de colis. The field of the invention is that of the design and manufacture of means of transporting parcels.
Plus précisément, l’invention concerne en particulier, mais non exclusivement, un colis à volume de stockage adaptable à un contenu. More specifically, the invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to a package with a storage volume adaptable to a content.
Pour transporter des articles entre un point de départ et une destination d’arrivée, des colis sont généralement utilisés. To transport items between a departure point and an arrival destination, parcels are generally used.
D’une manière largement répandue, les colis prennent la forme de cartons. In a widespread way, packages take the form of boxes.
En fonction de la taille des articles à transporter, plusieurs tailles de cartons sont disponibles. Depending on the size of the items to be transported, several sizes of cartons are available.
Ainsi, lors de l’envoi d’un article, l’expéditeur choisi le carton de la taille la plus appropriée à la taille de l’article à envoyer. Thus, when sending an item, the sender chooses the box of the most appropriate size for the size of the item to be sent.
Toutefois, la taille du carton choisi n’est pas toujours adaptée à l’article à transporter. However, the size of the box chosen is not always suitable for the item to be transported.
En effet, pour garantir que l’article rentre convenablement dans le carton, le carton choisi présente généralement des dimensions largement supérieures à l’article à transporter. Indeed, to ensure that the item fits properly in the box, the box chosen generally has dimensions much larger than the item to be transported.
Il est donc nécessaire de caler l’article à l’intérieur du carton. Pour cela, des billes de polystyrène, des poches d’air ou encore des boules de papier sont utilisées pour combler l’espace résiduel entre l’article et le carton. It is therefore necessary to wedge the item inside the box. For this, polystyrene beads, air pockets or even paper balls are used to fill the residual space between the item and the cardboard.
Il en résulte alors un gaspillage de matière puisque les billes, poches ou boules ne sont que très rarement réutilisées pour une expédition ultérieure. D’une manière générale, ces billes, poches ou boules sont jetées lors de l’ouverture du carton. Par ailleurs, lorsque les cartons sont surdimensionnés par rapport à l’article à transporter, ils présentent un encombrement tel qu’il limite la place disponible au stockage d’un autre colis. This then results in a waste of material since the balls, pockets or balls are only very rarely reused for a subsequent shipment. In general, these balls, pockets or balls are discarded when opening the carton. Moreover, when the boxes are oversized with respect to the item to be transported, they have a size such that it limits the space available for storing another package.
En d’autres termes, en surdimensionnant les cartons par rapport à la taille des articles à transporter, à volume de transport égal, moins d’articles peuvent être transporter comparativement à l’utilisation de cartons à une taille adéquate. In other words, by oversizing the boxes compared to the size of the items to be transported, for the same transport volume, fewer items can be transported compared to using boxes of an adequate size.
En variante, pour des articles de petite taille et/ou souples (par exemple les magazines, les livres, les vêtements) des poches plastiques souples peuvent être utilisées. Alternatively, for small and/or flexible items (eg magazines, books, clothing) flexible plastic pouches may be used.
Ces poches plastiques sont découpées et scellées lors de l’emballage de l’article à transporter de manière à les adapter à la taille de l’article. These plastic pockets are cut and sealed during the packaging of the item to be transported so as to adapt them to the size of the item.
Cela permet de réduire la perte de stockage engendrée par les cartons surdimensionnés. This reduces the storage loss caused by oversized boxes.
En revanche, contrairement à l’utilisation d’un carton, l’article transporté n’est pas ou peu protégé. On the other hand, unlike the use of a cardboard box, the item transported is not or only slightly protected.
Cette méthode n’est donc pas recommandée pour le transport d’articles fragiles par exemple. This method is therefore not recommended for transporting fragile items, for example.
Par ailleurs, pour permettre l’acheminement des articles, les colis portent des étiquettes de logistiques qui sont lues de manière automatique dans les centres logistiques. In addition, to allow the delivery of items, the packages carry logistics labels which are read automatically in the logistics centers.
Ces étiquettes mentionnent par exemple des informations de destination, les informations du destinataire, des caractéristiques de poids ou de fragilité du colis. These labels mention, for example, destination information, recipient information, characteristics of the weight or fragility of the package.
Ces étiquettes doivent donc pouvoir être lues de manière automatiques et rapide par des scanners. These labels must therefore be able to be read automatically and quickly by scanners.
Toutefois, la souplesse de la poche plastique peut autoriser un repli de l’étiquette sur elle- même ce qui empêche sa lecture par les scanners. Le colis doit donc être traité manuellement, ce qui peut rallonger son temps d’acheminement. However, the flexibility of the plastic pocket can allow the label to fold back on itself, which prevents it from being read by scanners. The package must therefore be processed manually, which can lengthen its delivery time.
L’invention a notamment pour objectif de palier les inconvénients de l’art antérieur. The object of the invention is in particular to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
Plus précisément, l’invention a pour objectif de proposer un colis permettant d’adapter son volume de contenance au contenu à transporter tout en assurant une protection dudit contenu. More specifically, the aim of the invention is to provide a package that makes it possible to adapt its volume of capacity to the content to be transported while ensuring protection of said content.
L’invention a également pour objectif de fournir un tel colis qui permette une lecture aisée et automatique des informations d’acheminement en toutes circonstance, ou quasiment. The invention also aims to provide such a package which allows easy and automatic reading of routing information in all circumstances, or almost.
L’invention a en outre pour objectif de fournir un tel colis qui soit réutilisable et peu encombrant lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé. The invention also aims to provide such a package which is reusable and compact when not in use.
Ces objectifs, ainsi que d’autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints grâce à l’invention qui a pour objet un colis de transport comprenant : These objectives, as well as others which will appear later, are achieved thanks to the invention which relates to a transport package comprising:
- un socle présentant une face de réception d’un article, - a base having a face for receiving an article,
- un couvercle pouvant adopter une position de fermeture dans laquelle il définit un volume fermé de stockage avec le socle, le couvercle comprenant : - a lid that can adopt a closed position in which it defines a closed storage volume with the base, the lid comprising:
- un cadre venant au contact du socle dans la position de fermeture du couvercle ; - A frame coming into contact with the base in the closed position of the cover;
- un fond monté à l’intérieur du cadre, et - a bottom mounted inside the frame, and
- des moyens de jonction déformables reliant le cadre au fond, caractérisé en ce que, le couvercle comprend également un organe de contact présentant une face de contact avec un article, le colis pouvant adopter : - deformable junction means connecting the frame to the bottom, characterized in that the lid also comprises a contact member having a face in contact with an article, the package being able to adopt:
- une configuration à plat dans laquelle, en position de fermeture du couvercle, la face de contact et la face de réception du socle se touchent ou sont au voisinage immédiat l’une de l’autre, - a flat configuration in which, in the closed position of the lid, the contact face and the reception face of the base touch or are in the immediate vicinity of one another,
- une configuration de transport dans laquelle un article est reçu dans le volume fermé de stockage, entre la face de contact et la face de réception du socle, et dans laquelle, en position de fermeture du couvercle, les moyens de jonction déformables sont dans un état déformé par rapport à la configuration à plat pour écarter la face de contact de la face de réception du socle sous l’effet de la présence dudit article, l’organe de contact écartant le fond par rapport au socle, le couvercle comprenant également des moyens de rappel tendant à déplacer la face de contact en direction de la face de réception du socle. - a transport configuration in which an article is received in the closed storage volume, between the contact face and the reception face of the base, and in which, in the closed position of the lid, the deformable joining means are in a deformed state relative to the flat configuration to separate the contact face from the face of reception of the base under the effect of the presence of said article, the contact member separating the bottom relative to the base, the lid also comprising return means tending to move the contact face in the direction of the receiving face of the base .
Un tel colis permet d’adapter son volume fermé de stockage en fonction de la taille de l’article à transporter. Such a package makes it possible to adapt its closed storage volume according to the size of the item to be transported.
Par ailleurs, l’intégrité de l’article est préservée grâce au colis selon l’invention. Furthermore, the integrity of the article is preserved thanks to the package according to the invention.
En effet, les moyens de rappel permettent de plaquer l’article contre le socle par l’intermédiaire de la face de contact. Indeed, the return means make it possible to press the article against the base via the contact face.
Ainsi, l’article se retrouve bloqué et empêché de se déplacer à l’intérieur du volume fermé de stockage. L’article ne peut donc pas heurter violemment le couvercle ou le socle si le colis est malmené lors de son transport. Thus, the item is blocked and prevented from moving inside the closed storage volume. The item cannot therefore violently hit the lid or the base if the package is mishandled during transport.
Par ailleurs, le colis selon l’invention est plus écologique que les colis de l’art antérieur précédemment cités puisqu’aucun élément de calage supplémentaire n’est nécessaire pour maintenir et protéger l’article dans le volume fermé de stockage. Furthermore, the package according to the invention is more ecological than the packages of the prior art mentioned above since no additional wedging element is necessary to maintain and protect the article in the closed storage volume.
Avantageusement, les moyens de jonction déformables comprennent : Advantageously, the deformable joining means comprise:
- au moins deux arceaux concentriques l’un à l’autre, - at least two arches concentric with each other,
- une toile formant un fourreau joignant le cadre au fond, les arceaux étant logés à l’intérieur du cadre, concentriquement au cadre dans la configuration à plat du colis, les arceaux étant solidaires de la toile. - a canvas forming a sheath joining the frame to the bottom, the hoops being housed inside the frame, concentrically to the frame in the flat configuration of the package, the hoops being integral with the canvas.
Cette structure des moyens de jonction déformables permet de créer des paliers intermédiaires de volume fermé de stockage dans la configuration de transport du colis. This structure of the deformable junction means makes it possible to create intermediate levels of closed storage volume in the transport configuration of the package.
Par ailleurs, la présence des arceaux concentriques permet de rigidifier les moyens de jonction déformables pour préserver d’avantage l’intégralité de l’article qui est transporté. Dans ce cas, les arceaux sont préférentiellement logés à l’intérieur du fourreau formé par la toile. Furthermore, the presence of the concentric hoops makes it possible to stiffen the deformable joining means to further preserve the entirety of the article which is transported. In this case, the hoops are preferably housed inside the sheath formed by the fabric.
Cela permet de faciliter le repli des moyens de jonction déformables lorsque le colis passe de sa configuration de transport à sa configuration à plat. This facilitates the folding of the deformable joining means when the package passes from its transport configuration to its flat configuration.
En outre, les arceaux ne sont pas visibles depuis l’extérieur du colis, ce qui favorise l’esthétisme du colis. In addition, the hoops are not visible from the outside of the package, which enhances the aesthetics of the package.
De préférence, la toile est réalisée dans un matériau élastiquement déformable, la toile formant les moyens de rappel. Preferably, the fabric is made of an elastically deformable material, the fabric forming the return means.
Ainsi, dès que la toile se déforme élastiquement, elle permet le maintien de l’article transporté entre le socle et le fond du couvercle. Thus, as soon as the fabric deforms elastically, it allows the maintenance of the article transported between the base and the bottom of the lid.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de rappel comprennent au moins un élastique intercalé entre le fond et le cadre du couvercle. According to another advantageous embodiment, the return means comprise at least one elastic inserted between the bottom and the frame of the cover.
La présence des élastiques permet de faciliter la maintenance du colis qui peut être réutilisé à de nombreuses reprises. The presence of rubber bands makes it easier to maintain the package, which can be reused many times.
En effet, les élastiques peuvent être simplement remplacés à mesure de l’utilisation du colis, les élastiques pouvant perdre de leur élasticité ou se rompre à force de leur sollicitation, ce qui nuit à la bonne protection de l’article situé dans le volume fermé de stockage. Indeed, the rubber bands can simply be replaced as the package is used, the rubber bands possibly losing their elasticity or breaking by force of their stress, which is detrimental to the good protection of the article located in the closed volume. of storage.
Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de rappel comprennent un bloc de mousse formant l’organe de contact, le bloc de mousse étant élastiquement déformable. According to yet another advantageous embodiment, the return means comprise a block of foam forming the contact member, the block of foam being elastically deformable.
Le bloc de mousse permet d’assurer un maintien d’un article contre le socle lorsque l’article est de faible épaisseur (par exemple ne pièce de monnaie ou une enveloppe) et que le colis est quasiment dans sa configuration à plat ou, à tout le moins, que les moyens de jonction déformables ne sont pas déformés ou quasiment. Avantageusement, l’organe de contact est solidaire du fond du couvercle. The foam block makes it possible to hold an item against the base when the item is thin (for example, a coin or an envelope) and the package is almost in its flat configuration or, at the very least, that the deformable junction means are not deformed or almost. Advantageously, the contact member is integral with the bottom of the cover.
Cette position de l’organe de contact favorise le maintien de l’article dans le volume fermé de stockage. This position of the contact member promotes the maintenance of the article in the closed storage volume.
Préférentiellement, le couvercle est monté mobile à rotation sur le socle par une charnière. Preferably, the lid is rotatably mounted on the base by a hinge.
Cela permet de faciliter la manipulation du colis puisque seul un mouvement de pivotement du couvercle est nécessaire pour créer le volume fermé de stockage. This makes it easier to handle the package since only a pivoting movement of the lid is necessary to create the closed storage volume.
Ainsi, il n’est pas nécessaire à un utilisateur de se préoccuper du positionnement du couvercle dans sa position de fermeture. Thus, it is not necessary for a user to worry about positioning the cover in its closed position.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de rappel comprennent également au moins un tendeur intercalé entre le fond du couvercle et le socle, la jonction entre chaque tendeur avec le socle étant située à proximité de la charnière. According to another advantageous embodiment, the return means also comprise at least one tensioner interposed between the bottom of the lid and the base, the junction between each tensioner with the base being located close to the hinge.
Ce type d’élastique permet de rapprocher encore le fond du socle dans la configuration de transport du colis, cela au bénéfice du maintien de l’article dans le colis. This type of elastic makes it possible to bring the bottom of the base even closer in the transport configuration of the package, this to the benefit of maintaining the article in the package.
De préférence, l’une au moins de la face de contact et de la face de réception intègre des moyens adhérents et/ou des moyens antidérapants. Preferably, at least one of the contact face and the receiving face incorporates adherent means and/or non-slip means.
Les moyens adhérents et/ou les moyens antidérapants assurent également le maintien des articles dans le colis. The adherent means and/or the non-slip means also ensure the maintenance of the articles in the package.
En effet, en plus de la retenue par placage contre le socle via le fond du couvercle et les moyens de rappel, les moyens adhérents et/ou les moyens antidérapants permettent d’empêcher l’article de glisser sur le socle et/ou par rapport au fond du couvercle. Indeed, in addition to the retention by plating against the base via the bottom of the cover and the return means, the adherent means and/or the non-slip means make it possible to prevent the article from sliding on the base and/or relative at the bottom of the lid.

La figure 1 illustre un colis 100 selon l’invention. Figure 1 illustrates a package 100 according to the invention.
Le colis 100 comprend un socle 200 et un couvercle 300. Package 100 includes a base 200 and a cover 300.
Le socle 200 et le couvercle 300 forment, l’un avec l’autre, un volume V fermé de stockage tel qu’illustré sur les figures 7 et 8. The base 200 and the lid 300 together form a closed storage volume V as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
En référence à la figure 2, le socle 200 comprend : Referring to Figure 2, the base 200 includes:
- une face de réception 210 d’un article A (l’article A étant illustré sur la figure 8 et la figure 7) ; - une bordure périphérique 220 entourant la face de réception 210 ; - A reception face 210 of an article A (the article A being illustrated in FIG. 8 and FIG. 7); - A peripheral edge 220 surrounding the receiving face 210;
- une rainure périphérique 230 entourant la bordure périphérique 220 à l’extérieur de cette dernière, tel que cela est visible sur la figure 3 ; - a peripheral groove 230 surrounding the peripheral edge 220 outside the latter, as can be seen in Figure 3;
- une cavité 240 s’ouvrant vers l’extérieur du colis 100. - a cavity 240 opening outwards from the package 100.
Tel que cela est visible sur les figures 2, 7 et 8, la cavité 240 est destinée à recevoir une tablette numérique 400 permettant l’affichage de données d’acheminement du colis 100. As can be seen in Figures 2, 7 and 8, the cavity 240 is intended to receive a digital tablet 400 allowing the display of parcel routing data 100.
Tel qu’on le voit sur les figures 7 et 8, la tablette numérique 400 est pourvue d’un écran 410, cet écran étant de préférence un écran de type papier électronique. As seen in Figures 7 and 8, the digital tablet 400 is provided with a screen 410, this screen preferably being an electronic paper type screen.
En référence aux figures 4 et 5, le couvercle 300 est monté à rotation sur le socle 200. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the cover 300 is rotatably mounted on the base 200.
Plus particulièrement, le colis 100 comprend une charnière 600 formant une interface permettant la rotation du couvercle 300 par rapport au socle 200. More specifically, the package 100 includes a hinge 600 forming an interface allowing the rotation of the lid 300 relative to the base 200.
Ainsi, le colis peut adopter plusieurs configurations à savoir : Thus, the package can adopt several configurations, namely:
- une configuration à plat (également appelée configuration de stockage), tel qu’illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 ; - a flat configuration (also called storage configuration), as illustrated in figures 1 and 2;
- une configuration semi-ouverte, tel qu’illustré sur les figures 3 et 4 ; - a semi-open configuration, as shown in Figures 3 and 4;
- une configuration ouverte, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 5, et - an open configuration, as shown in Figure 5, and
- une configuration de transport, tel qu’illustré sur les figures 6, 7 et 8. - a transport configuration, as shown in figures 6, 7 and 8.
Autrement dit, le couvercle 300 peut adopter une position de fermeture pour définir le volume V fermé de stockage avec le socle, tel qu’illustré sur les figures 1 , 2, 6, 7 et 8, et une position d’ouverture dans laquelle il est écarté du socle 200 correspondant notamment aux figures 3, 4 et 5. In other words, the cover 300 can adopt a closed position to define the closed storage volume V with the base, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8, and an open position in which it is separated from the base 200 corresponding in particular to Figures 3, 4 and 5.
Bien entendu, les figures 3 et 4 illustrent une position semi-ouverte particulière. Cependant le colis 100 selon l’invention peut adopter une multitude de positions semi-ouvertes entre sa configuration à plat ou de transport et sa configuration ouverte. Of course, Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a particular semi-open position. However, the package 100 according to the invention can adopt a multitude of semi-open positions between its flat or transport configuration and its open configuration.
En référence aux figures 3, 5, 6, 7 et 8, le couvercle comprend : With reference to figures 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the cover comprises:
- un cadre 310 ; - un fond 320 ; - a frame 310; - a bottom 320;
- des moyens de jonction déformables 330 du fond 320 au cadre 310 ; - Deformable junction means 330 from the bottom 320 to the frame 310;
- un organe de contact 340, et - a contact member 340, and
- des moyens de rappel 360. - 360 recall means.
L’organe de contact 340 présente une face de contact 350 destinée à venir au contact d’un article A à transporter tel qu’illustré sur les figures 7 et 8. The contact member 340 has a contact face 350 intended to come into contact with an article A to be transported as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
Tel que cela sera expliqué ci-après, les moyens de rappel 360 permettent de déplacer la face de contact 350 vers le socle 200 pour maintenir l’article A en position dans le volume V fermé de stockage tel qu’illustré sur les figures 7 et 8. As will be explained below, the return means 360 make it possible to move the contact face 350 towards the base 200 to hold the article A in position in the closed storage volume V as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
Tel qu’illustré sur la vue en section transversale de la figure 2, le cadre 310 vient au contact du socle 200 dans la position de fermeture du couvercle 300 et donc dans les configurations à plat et de transport du colis 100. As illustrated in the cross-sectional view of Figure 2, the frame 310 comes into contact with the base 200 in the closed position of the cover 300 and therefore in the flat and transport configurations of the package 100.
Pour améliorer la sécurité de l’article A stocké dans le volume V fermé de stockage, le cadre 310 présente un bourrelet 311 venant se loger dans la rainure périphérique 230 du socle 200 dans la configuration à plat et dans la configuration de transport du colis 100. To improve the security of the article A stored in the closed storage volume V, the frame 310 has a bead 311 which is housed in the peripheral groove 230 of the base 200 in the flat configuration and in the transport configuration of the package 100 .
Autrement dit, le bourrelet annulaire 311 vient se loger dans la rainure périphérique 230 du socle 200 dans la position de fermeture du couvercle 300. In other words, the annular bead 311 is housed in the peripheral groove 230 of the base 200 in the closed position of the cover 300.
Ainsi, la coopération entre le bourrelet annulaire 311 et la rainure périphérique 230 permet de former une chicane empêchant par exemple le passage d’une lame (notamment la lame d’un couteau) pour former un bras de levier permettant d’ouvrir le colis 100 ou de regarder à l’intérieur. Thus, the cooperation between the annular bead 311 and the peripheral groove 230 makes it possible to form a baffle preventing for example the passage of a blade (in particular the blade of a knife) to form a lever arm making it possible to open the package 100 or look inside.
La bordure périphérique 220 forme également une barrière empêchant la vue de l’article 1 à l’intérieur du colis 100. The peripheral border 220 also forms a barrier preventing the view of the article 1 inside the package 100.
En outre, cette chicane permet de rendre étanche le volume V de stockage par rapport au milieu extérieur dans lequel se trouve le colis 100. Dans ce cas, le bourrelet annulaire 311 forme un joint. En référence à la figure 7, le fond 320 est formé d’une plaque rigide. In addition, this chicane makes it possible to seal the storage volume V with respect to the external environment in which the package 100 is located. In this case, the annular bead 311 forms a seal. Referring to Figure 7, the bottom 320 is formed of a rigid plate.
Tel qu’illustré sur la figure 2, dans la configuration à plat du colis 100, le fond 320 est monté concentriquement à l’intérieur du cadre 310 du couvercle. As shown in Figure 2, in the flat configuration of the package 100, the bottom 320 is mounted concentrically inside the frame 310 of the lid.
Les moyens de jonction déformables 330 qui relient le cadre 310 au fond 320, comprennent : The deformable junction means 330 which connect the frame 310 to the bottom 320, comprise:
- au moins deux arceaux 331 , et - at least two hoops 331, and
- une toile 332 solidarisée aux arceaux 331 . - A canvas 332 secured to the arches 331.
Plus particulièrement, tel que cela est illustré sur les sections de coupe des figures 2, 7 et 8, les arceaux 331 sont concentriques entre eux et concentriques au cadre 311 , à l’intérieur de ce dernier. More particularly, as illustrated in the cut sections of Figures 2, 7 and 8, the arches 331 are concentric with each other and concentric with the frame 311, inside the latter.
Tel qu’on le voit sur les figures 7 et 8, les arceaux 331 sont situés à l’intérieur à l’intérieur de la toile 332. As seen in Figures 7 and 8, the hoops 331 are located inside the canvas 332.
En variante, les arceaux 331 peuvent être montés à l’extérieur de la toile 332. Alternatively, the hoops 331 can be mounted outside the canvas 332.
Selon une autre variante, les arceaux 331 peuvent être montés dans des poches réalisées dans la toile 332. According to another variant, the hoops 331 can be mounted in pockets made in the canvas 332.
Tel qu’on le voit sur les figures 7 et 8, les moyens de jonction déformables 330 comprennent ainsi une alternance de toile seule et de toile couplée à l’arceau entre le fond 320 et le cadre 310. As seen in Figures 7 and 8, the deformable joining means 330 thus comprise an alternation of canvas alone and canvas coupled to the hoop between the bottom 320 and the frame 310.
Tel qu’on le voit sur la section transversale de la figure 2 notamment, lorsque le colis 100 est dans sa configuration à plat, les moyens de jonction déformables 330 sont dans un état initial dans lequel les arceaux 331 concentriques entre eux sont situés à l’intérieur du cadre 310 et la toile s’étend entre le fond 320 et le cadre 310 en formant, par la présence des arceaux 331 , une alternance de crêtes et de creux. Selon une variante de réalisation non illustrée sur les figures, la toile 332 peut être une toile élastique s’étirant lorsque le fond 320 est écarté du cadre 310 et se rétractant lorsque le fond 320 est rapproché du cadre 310. As seen in the cross section of Figure 2 in particular, when the package 100 is in its flat configuration, the deformable junction means 330 are in an initial state in which the hoops 331 concentric with each other are located at the inside the frame 310 and the fabric extends between the bottom 320 and the frame 310 forming, by the presence of the arches 331, an alternation of ridges and hollows. According to a variant embodiment not illustrated in the figures, the canvas 332 can be an elastic canvas stretching when the bottom 320 is moved away from the frame 310 and retracting when the bottom 320 is brought closer to the frame 310.
L’organe de contact 340, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 7, porte la face de contact 350 et est formé par un plateau 341 solidaire du fond 320. The contact member 340, as illustrated in Figure 7, carries the contact face 350 and is formed by a plate 341 secured to the bottom 320.
Selon une variante de réalisation non illustrée sur les figures, le plateau 341 peut présenter une forme concave s’ouvrant vers le socle 200 dans la position de fermeture du couvercle 300, la forme concave portant alors la phase de contact 350. According to a variant embodiment not illustrated in the figures, the plate 341 may have a concave shape opening towards the base 200 in the closed position of the cover 300, the concave shape then bearing the contact phase 350.
Selon la variante de réalisation illustrée sur la figure 8, l’organe de contact 340 se présente sous la forme d’un bloc de mousse 342. According to the variant embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, the contact member 340 is in the form of a block of foam 342.
Le bloc de mousse 342 présente alors la face de contact 350 et est solidarisé au fond 320 du couvercle 300. The block of foam 342 then has the contact face 350 and is secured to the bottom 320 of the cover 300.
Ce bloc de mousse 342 est élastiquement déformable pour pouvoir rapprocher la face de contact 350 du fond 320 lorsqu’un article A est inséré dans le colis 100 et que le couvercle 300 est dans sa position de fermeture. This block of foam 342 is elastically deformable to be able to bring the contact face 350 closer to the bottom 320 when an article A is inserted into the package 100 and the lid 300 is in its closed position.
En référence à la figure 5, les moyens de rappel 360 qui permettent de déplacer la face de contact 350 vers le socle 200 dans la position de fermeture du couvercle 300, comprennent au moins un élastique 361 intercalé entre le cadre 310 et le fond 320. Referring to Figure 5, the return means 360 which allow the contact face 350 to be moved towards the base 200 in the closed position of the cover 300, comprise at least one elastic 361 inserted between the frame 310 and the bottom 320.
Selon ce même mode de réalisation, les moyens de rappel 360 comprennent également au moins un tendeur 362 intercalé entre le fond 320 et le socle 200. Le tendeur 362 est, de préférence, également un élastique. According to this same embodiment, the return means 360 also comprise at least one tensioner 362 inserted between the bottom 320 and the base 200. The tensioner 362 is preferably also an elastic.
La jonction entre chaque tendeur 362 et le socle 200 est située à proximité de la charnière 600. Préférentiellement, tel que cela est illustré sur la figure 5, les moyens de rappel 360 comprennent deux élastiques 361 intercalés chacun entre le cadre 310 et le fond 320, et deux tendeurs 362 intercalés chacun entre le fond 320 et le socle 200. The junction between each tensioner 362 and the base 200 is located near the hinge 600. Preferably, as illustrated in Figure 5, the return means 360 comprise two elastics 361 each interposed between the frame 310 and the bottom 320, and two tensioners 362 each interposed between the bottom 320 and the base 200.
Pour assurer la fermeture du colis 100 et le transport d’un article A en toute sécurité, le colis 100 comprend également des moyens de verrouillage 500. To ensure the closing of the package 100 and the transport of an article A in complete safety, the package 100 also includes locking means 500.
En référence à la figure 5, les moyens de verrouillage 500 comprennent : Referring to Figure 5, the locking means 500 include:
- un crochet 510 solidaire du couvercle 300 ; - A hook 510 integral with the cover 300;
- une fente de réception 520 du crochet 510, pratiqué dans le socle 200 ; - A receiving slot 520 of the hook 510, formed in the base 200;
- un organe de manipulation 530 solidaire du socle 200. - a manipulation member 530 integral with the base 200.
Plus précisément, et de manière connue en soi, les moyens de verrouillage comprennent un mécanisme de blocage du crochet 510 dans la fente de réception 520, ce mécanisme de blocage étant situé dans la fente de réception 520 du crochet 510. More specifically, and in a manner known per se, the locking means comprise a hook locking mechanism 510 in the receiving slot 520, this locking mechanism being located in the receiving slot 520 of the hook 510.
Selon une variante de réalisation, les moyens de rappel 360 sont formés par les moyens de jonction déformables 330. According to a variant embodiment, the return means 360 are formed by the deformable junction means 330.
Plus particulièrement, les moyens de jonction déformables 330 comprennent une toile 332 qui est une toile élastique. More particularly, the deformable joining means 330 comprise a fabric 332 which is an elastic fabric.
Ainsi, lorsque le fond 320 du couvercle 300 est écarté du cadre 310, l’élasticité de la toile 332 tend à déplacer le fond 320 en direction du socle 200 et donc la face de contact 350 solidaire du fond 320 en direction du socle 200. Thus, when the bottom 320 of the cover 300 is moved away from the frame 310, the elasticity of the fabric 332 tends to move the bottom 320 in the direction of the base 200 and therefore the contact face 350 secured to the bottom 320 in the direction of the base 200.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation, les moyens de rappel 360 sont formés par le bloc de mousse 342 illustrés sur la figure 8, qui lorsqu’il est appliqué contre l’article A à transporter, repousse la face de contact 350 à l’opposé du fond 320, c’est-à-dire en direction du socle 200. According to another variant embodiment, the return means 360 are formed by the block of foam 342 illustrated in FIG. 8, which when it is applied against the article A to be transported, pushes the contact face 350 away from bottom 320, that is to say in the direction of the base 200.
Bien entendu, ces variantes de réalisation peuvent être combinées entre elles et combinées au mode de réalisation préféré illustré sur la figure 5, à savoir la présence des élastiques 361 et des tendeurs 362. Autrement dit, le colis 100 selon l’invention peut présenter au titre des moyens de rappel 360 : Of course, these variant embodiments can be combined with each other and combined with the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, namely the presence of elastics 361 and tensioners 362. In other words, the package 100 according to the invention may have, as reminder means 360:
- une paire d’élastiques 361 intercalés chacun entre le cadre 310 et le fond 320 ; - a pair of rubber bands 361 each interposed between the frame 310 and the bottom 320;
- une paire de tendeurs 362 intercalés chacun entre le fond 320 et le socle 200 ; - A pair of turnbuckles 362 each interposed between the bottom 320 and the base 200;
- un bloc de mousse 342 solidaire du fond 320 et portant la face de contact 350 ; - A block of foam 342 integral with the bottom 320 and carrying the contact face 350;
- et une toile élastique 332 faisant partie intégrante des moyens de jonction déformables 330. - and an elastic fabric 332 forming an integral part of the deformable joining means 330.
Pour assurer le maintien de l’article A dans le volume V fermé de stockage, le colis comprend également des moyens antidérapants 211 et/ou des moyens adhérents 351 . To ensure that article A is maintained in the closed storage volume V, the package also includes non-slip means 211 and/or adherent means 351 .
Plus précisément, le colis 100 comprend à la fois des moyens antidérapants 211 et/ou des moyens adhérents 351 . More precisely, the package 100 includes both non-slip means 211 and/or adherent means 351 .
Les moyens antidérapants 211 sont portés par le socle 200 et les moyens adhérents 351 sont portés par le couvercle 300 et plus particulièrement par la face de contact 350. The non-slip means 211 are carried by the base 200 and the adherent means 351 are carried by the cover 300 and more particularly by the contact face 350.
L’utilisation du colis 100 selon l’invention se fait comme suit. Selon un mode de stockage, le colis 100 est dans sa configuration à plat tel qu’illustré sur les figures 1 et 2. The use of package 100 according to the invention is as follows. According to one storage mode, the package 100 is in its flat configuration as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
Dans cette configuration à plat, la face de contact 350 du couvercle 300 et la face de réception 210 du socle 200 se touchent ou son au voisinage immédiat l’une de l’autre. In this flat configuration, the contact face 350 of the cover 300 and the receiving face 210 of the base 200 touch each other or are in the immediate vicinity of one another.
Plus particulièrement, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 2, la face de contact 350 du couvercle 300 touche la face de réception 210 du socle 200. More specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the contact face 350 of the cover 300 touches the receiving face 210 of the base 200.
En variante, la phase de contact 350 du couvercle 300 peut être légèrement écartée et se situer au voisinage immédiat de la face de réception 210 du socle 200. As a variant, the contact phase 350 of the cover 300 can be slightly separated and be located in the immediate vicinity of the receiving face 210 of the base 200.
L’utilisateur positionne alors le colis 100 dans sa configuration ouverte tel qu’illustré sur la figure 5 en faisant passer le colis 100 par une configuration semi-ouverte tel qu’illustré sur les figures 3 et 4. Lorsque le colis 100 est dans sa configuration ouverte, c’est-à-dire tel qu’illustré sur la figure 5, l’utilisateur peut déposer un article A sur le socle 200. The user then positions the package 100 in its open configuration as shown in Figure 5 by passing the package 100 through a semi-open configuration as shown in Figures 3 and 4. When the package 100 is in its open configuration, that is to say as illustrated in Figure 5, the user can deposit an article A on the base 200.
Plus particulièrement, l’utilisateur dispose un article A sur les moyens antidérapants 211 du socle 200 afin de limiter le déplacement de l’article A sur le socle 200. More specifically, the user has an article A on the non-slip means 211 of the base 200 in order to limit the movement of the article A on the base 200.
L’utilisateur peut ensuite positionner le couvercle 300 dans sa position de fermeture. Pour cela, il saisit le cadre 310 pour le rabattre en direction du socle 200 par rotation autour de la charnière 600. The user can then position the lid 300 in its closed position. For this, he grabs the frame 310 to fold it in the direction of the base 200 by rotation around the hinge 600.
Le colis 100 passe alors dans sa configuration semi-ouverte, tel qu’illustré sur les figures 3 et 4, pour atteindre sa configuration de transport, tel qu’illustré sur les figures 6, 7 et 8. Package 100 then goes into its semi-open configuration, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, to reach its transport configuration, as shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8.
Dans la configuration de transport, le crochet 510 solidaire du couvercle 300 est reçu dans la fente de réception 520 du socle 200, dans laquelle il est retenu par les moyens de blocage. In the transport configuration, the hook 510 secured to the cover 300 is received in the receiving slot 520 of the base 200, in which it is retained by the locking means.
De même, tel qu’on le voit sur les figures 7 et 8, le bourrelet annulaire 311 du cadre 310 est reçu dans la rainure périphérique 230 du socle 200 permettant de rendre étanche le volume V fermé de stockage du colis 100. Similarly, as seen in Figures 7 and 8, the annular bead 311 of the frame 310 is received in the peripheral groove 230 of the base 200 making it possible to seal the closed storage volume V of the package 100.
Le passage du colis 100 dans sa configuration de transport, et plus particulièrement le passage du couvercle 300 dans sa position de fermeture depuis une position d’ouverture dans laquelle il est écarté du socle 200, provoque la déformation des moyens de jonction déformables 330 par la présence de l’article A. The passage of the package 100 into its transport configuration, and more particularly the passage of the cover 300 into its closed position from an open position in which it is moved away from the base 200, causes the deformation of the deformable junction means 330 by the presence of item A.
Plus particulièrement, lorsque le colis 100 est dans sa configuration de transport, les moyens de jonction déformables 330 sont déformés par rapport à la configuration à plat illustrée sur la figure 1 et 2, par la présence de l’article A dans le volume V fermé de stockage. More particularly, when the package 100 is in its transport configuration, the deformable joining means 330 are deformed with respect to the flat configuration illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, by the presence of the article A in the closed volume V of storage.
La face de contact 350 et la phase de réception 210 sont chacune au contact de l’article A. Les moyens de rappel 360 sont tendus et provoquent le déplacement de la face de contact 350 solidaire du fond 320 en direction du socle 200. The contact face 350 and the reception phase 210 are each in contact with the article A. The return means 360 are stretched and cause the movement of the contact face 350 secured to the bottom 320 in the direction of the base 200.
L’organe de contact 340 écarte donc le fond 320 par rapport au socle 200 lors du passage du couvercle 300 d’une position écartée du socle 200 à sa position de fermeture. The contact member 340 therefore separates the bottom 320 from the base 200 when the cover 300 passes from a position separated from the base 200 to its closed position.
