Description

La présente invention concerne un élément de rangement pour documents ou autres et un ensemble de rangement à casiers inclinés constitués de plusieurs des dits éléments.The present invention relates to a storage element for documents or the like and a storage unit with inclined lockers made up of several of the said elements.

Les ensembles de rangement à casiers inclinés existant sont pour la plupart constitués par des parois de séparation planes logées entre deux étagères horizontales dotées d'encoches ou d'orifices pour le blocage des dites parois. Ces ensembles sont utilisés pour leur commodité de rangement et pour le bon maintien des documents qu'ils procurent. Cependant ces ensembles présentent des inconvénients pour leur montage et leur démontage qui ne sont ni aisés ni rapides.The existing inclined locker storage assemblies are for the most part constituted by flat partition walls housed between two horizontal shelves provided with notches or orifices for blocking said walls. These sets are used for their convenience of storage and for the good maintenance of the documents they provide. However, these assemblies have drawbacks for their assembly and disassembly which are neither easy nor quick.

Le brevet français n° 2 544 667 pallie à ces inconvénients de montage et de démontage en proposant un casier oblique modulable réalisé à partir de plaques identiques conformées en W.French Patent No. 2,544,667 overcomes these mounting and dismantling drawbacks by proposing a modular oblique rack made from identical plates shaped as W.

Ces plaques sont posées sur une étagère et reposent les unes sur les autres sans nécessiter de moyens de blocage.These plates are placed on a shelf and rest on each other without requiring locking means.

Cependant ce casier modulable présente un inconvénient sur le maintien en position des plaques.However, this modular locker has a drawback on keeping the plates in position.

En effet ces plaques sont destinées à s'autobloquer entre elles par le poids des documents qu'elles supportent, toutefois la forme en W de ces plaques ne permet pas un autoblocage sûr. Les plaques formant le casier selon ce brevet sont pourvues d'une paroi (la plus longue) contre laquelle s'appuient les documents qui est inclinée vers l'arrière par rapport aux autres parois formées dans la plaque. Ainsi l'appui des documents sur cette paroi tend à soulever les autres parois et donc à faire basculer vers l'arrière la plaque.Indeed, these plates are intended to self-lock together by the weight of the documents they support, however the W-shape of these plates does not allow safe self-locking. The plates forming the locker according to this patent are provided with a wall (the longest) against which the documents bear, which is inclined backwards with respect to the other walls. formed in the plate. Thus the support of the documents on this wall tends to raise the other walls and therefore to tilt the plate backwards.

Chaque plaque repose sur une partie d'une autre plaque disposée derrière elle et il est donc nécessaire de charger les compartiments de ce casier formés par ces plaques en W suivant un ordre déterminé afin que les dites plaques ne se renversent pas.Each plate rests on a part of another plate disposed behind it and it is therefore necessary to load the compartments of this rack formed by these plates in W in a determined order so that said plates do not overturn.

La présente invention vise à obvier à et inconvénient en proposant un élément de rangement qui par sa forme et son association avec un autre élément identique s'autobloque par rapport à cet autre élément lorsqu'il est chargé.The present invention aims to obviate and disadvantage by proposing a storage element which by its shape and its association with another identical element is self-locking with respect to this other element when it is loaded.

A cet effet, l'élément de rangement pour documents ou autres constitué d'une plaque pliée définissant des arêtes et des parois comprenant un dossier, une assise formant une arête avec le dossier, une surface de support recevant un autre élément de rangement et une paroi de liaison entre l'assise et la surface de support et formant respectivement avec ces dernières une arête et une arête, le dit élément se caractérise essentiellement en ce que la paroi de liaison est pliée dans la même direction que le dossier par rapport à l'assise de façon à former avec le dit dossier et la dite assise un U à ailes inégales,que la surface de support est pliée dans la direction opposée à l'assise par rapport à la paroi de liaison et est parallèle à la dite assise, que l'arête entre l'assise et la paroi de liaison repose sur une surface ou bien sur un autre élément de rangement, que le bord transversal de la surface de support repose sur la dite surface de telle manière que le dossier soit incliné au dessus de l'assise et qu'il est prévu un moyen de blocage en translation de l'autre élément de rangement venant sur la surface de support lequel moyen de blocage est constitué d'un talon formant avec la surface de support le bord transversal, le dit talon étant obtenu par pliage en direction opposée à la paroi de liaison par rapport à la dite surface de support.For this purpose, the storage element for documents or the like consisting of a folded plate defining edges and walls comprising a backrest, a seat forming an edge with the backrest, a support surface receiving another storage element and a connecting wall between the seat and the support surface and forming respectively with an edge and an edge, the said element is essentially characterized in that the connecting wall is folded in the same direction as the backrest with respect to the 'seat so as to form with said backrest and said seat a U with unequal wings, that the support surface is folded in the direction opposite to the seat relative to the connecting wall and is parallel to said seat, that the edge between the seat and the connecting wall rests on a surface or on another storage element, that the transverse edge of the support surface rests on said surface in such a way that the backrest is inclined above the seat and that there is provided a means of locking in translation of the other storage element coming on the surface of support which locking means consists of a heel forming with the support surface the transverse edge, said heel being obtained by folding in the direction opposite to the connecting wall with respect to said support surface.

La présente invention concerne également un ensemble de rangement à casiers inclinés qui est obtenu à partir de plusieurs éléments de rangement et est doté d'un élément de rangement terminal disposé sur la surface de support d'un élément de rangement d'extrémité, le dit élément de rangement terminal étant doté d'un dossier, d'une assise et d'une paroi de liaison inclinées les unes par rapport aux autres de façon identique aux autres éléments de rangement selon l'invention.The present invention also relates to a storage unit with inclined lockers which is obtained from several storage elements and is provided with an end storage element disposed on the support surface of an end storage element, the so-called terminal storage element being provided with a backrest, a seat and a connecting wall inclined with respect to each other in the same way as the other storage elements according to the invention.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques apparaitront dans la description qui va suivre d'une forme préférentielle de réalisation illustrée aux dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif en lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de côté de l'élément de rangement selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de côté d'un ensemble de rangement obtenu à partir d'une pluralité d'éléments selon l'invention,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de l'élément de rangement,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de rangement terminal selon l'invention.
Other advantages and characteristics will appear in the following description of a preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings given by way of nonlimiting example in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the storage element according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of a storage assembly obtained from a plurality of elements according to the invention,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the storage element,
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a terminal storage element according to the invention.

Tel que représenté aux figures 1 et 3, l'élément de rangement de documents ou autres est constitué d'une plaque 1 pliée suivant plusieurs lignes définissant des arêtes 2 et des parois 3 et reposant sur une surface 4 et/ou sur un autre élément selon l'invention par au moins deux de ses arêtes.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the document or other storage element consists of a plate 1 folded along several lines defining edges 2 and walls 3 and resting on a surface 4 and / or on another element according to the invention by at least two of its edges.

Les parois 3 formées par pliage de la plaque 1 comprennent un dossier 3A qui est la paroi de plus grande longueur et contre une face duquel s'appuient les documents, une assise 3B formant une arête 2A avec le dossier 3A et supportant les documents, une surface de support 3C sur laquelle est destinée à venir se placer un autre élément selon l'invention et une paroi de liaison 3D entre l'assise 3B et la surface de support 3C et formant respectivement avec ces dernières une arête 2B et une arête 2C.The walls 3 formed by folding the plate 1 include a folder 3A which is the longer wall and against one face of which the documents are supported, a seat 3B forming an edge 2A with the folder 3A and supporting the documents, a support surface 3C on which is intended to be placed another element according to the invention and a 3D connecting wall between the seat 3B and the support surface 3C and forming respectively with the latter an edge 2B and an edge 2C.

Préférentiellement la plaque 1 est rectangulaire et les lignes de pliages sont parallèles les unes aux autres et perpendiculaires aux bords de la dite plaque.Preferably, the plate 1 is rectangular and the fold lines are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the edges of said plate.

De façon préférentielle le dossier 3A est perpendiculaire à l'assise 3B.Preferably, the backrest 3A is perpendicular to the seat 3B.

La paroi de liaison 3D formant une arête 2B avec l'assise 3B est pliée dans la même direction que le dossier 3A par rapport à l'assise 3B de façon à former avec le dit dossier et la dite assise un U à ailes inégales, la surface de support 3C formant une arête 2C avec la paroi de liaison 3D est pliée dans la direction opposée à l'assise 3B par rapport à la paroi de liaison 3D.The 3D connecting wall forming an edge 2B with the seat 3B is folded in the same direction as the backrest 3A with respect to the seat 3B so as to form with the said backrest and the said seat an U with unequal wings, the support surface 3C forming an edge 2C with the 3D connection wall is folded in the direction opposite to the seat 3B relative to the 3D connection wall.

L'élément de rangement selon l'invention repose sur une surface 4 par l'arête 2B entre l'assise 3B et la paroi de liaison 3D et par le bord transversal de la surface de support 3C de façon que le dossier 3A soit incliné au dessus de l'assise 3B.
L'angle entre l'assise 3B et la paroi de liaison 3D est de préférence supérieur à 90° pour des raisons qui seront énoncées plus avant.The storage element according to the invention rests on a surface 4 by the edge 2B between the seat 3B and the 3D connection wall and by the transverse edge of the support surface 3C so that the backrest 3A is inclined above the seat 3B.
The angle between the seat 3B and the 3D connecting wall is preferably greater than 90 ° for reasons which will be explained later.

La surface de support 3C est pliée par rapport à la paroi de liaison 3D de façon à être parallèle à l'assise 3B.The support surface 3C is folded relative to the 3D connecting wall so as to be parallel to the seat 3B.

L'ensemble de rangement tel que représenté en figure 2 est obtenu à partir de plusieurs éléments selon l'invention.The storage assembly as shown in Figure 2 is obtained from several elements according to the invention.

La surface de support 3C d'un élément de rangement reçoit l'assise 3B d'un autre élément.The support surface 3C of a storage element receives the seat 3B of another element.

La surface de support 3C d'un élément étant parallèle à l'assise 3B du même élément on comprendra aisément que le dossier 3A d'un élément est parallèle au dossier 3A de l'élément qu'il support par sa surface de support 3C.The support surface 3C of an element being parallel to the seat 3B of the same element, it will easily be understood that the backrest 3A of an element is parallel to the backrest 3A of the element that it supports by its support surface 3C.

Ainsi l'ensemble de rangement comporte plusieurs casiers 5 inclinés tous de façon identique et définis chacun par le dossier 3A et l'assise 3B d'un premier élément et par le dossier 3A de l'élément disposé sur la surface de support du dit premier élément.Thus the storage assembly comprises several compartments 5 all inclined in an identical manner and each defined by the backrest 3A and the seat 3B of a first element and by the backrest 3A of the element disposed on the support surface of said first element.

Les documents disposés dans un casier 5 reposent sur l'assise 3B d'un premier élément et s'appuient contre le dossier 3A de l'élément porté par le dit premier élément.The documents arranged in a compartment 5 rest on the seat 3B of a first element and bear against the backrest 3A of the element carried by said first element.

Avantageusement l'élément de rangement selon l'invention est doté d'un moyen de blocage sur sa surface de support 3C d'un autre élément de rangement.Advantageously, the storage element according to the invention is provided with a locking means on its support surface 3C of another storage unit.

Ce moyen de blocage est constitué préférentiellement par un talon 3E formant avec la dite surface support une arête 2D et obtenu par pliage en direction opposée à la paroi de liaison 3D par rapport à la surface de support 3C.This locking means preferably consists of a heel 3E forming with said support surface a 2D edge and obtained by bending in the direction opposite to the 3D connection wall relative to the support surface 3C.

Le talon 3E est plié de telle manière à être parallèle à la paroi de liaison 3D.
L'arête 2D entre le talon 3E et la surface de support 3C est destiné à reposer sur la surface 4.The heel 3E is folded so as to be parallel to the 3D connecting wall.
The 2D edge between the heel 3E and the support surface 3C is intended to rest on the surface 4.

Ainsi le talon 3E d'un premier élément de rangement selon l'invention bloque en translation sur la surface de support 3C un autre élément de rangement placé sur la dite surface de support par appui d'une partie de la paroi de liaison 3D de cette autre élément contre le dit talon.Thus the heel 3E of a first storage element according to the invention blocks in translation on the support surface 3C another storage element placed on said support surface by pressing a part of the 3D connecting wall of this another element against the said heel.

Préférentiellement la longueur du talon 3E est inférieure ou égale à la longueur de la paroi de liaison 3D.Preferably, the length of the heel 3E is less than or equal to the length of the 3D connecting wall.

Ainsi l'arête 2B entre l'assise et la paroi de liaison 3D d'un élément de rangement est logée au niveau de l'arête 2D entre le talon 3E et la surface de support 3C d'un premier élément.Thus the edge 2B between the seat and the 3D connecting wall of a storage element is housed at the level of the edge 2D between the heel 3E and the support surface 3C of a first element.

Pour un élément placé au milieu de l'ensemble de rangement, l'arête 2B de cet élément repose sur un autre élément placé derrière lui et l'arête 2D du dit premier élément repose sur la surface 4.For an element placed in the middle of the storage assembly, the edge 2B of this element rests on another element placed behind it and the 2D edge of said first element rests on the surface 4.

Seul le premier élément de l'ensemble de rangement repose sur la surface 4 par ses arêtes 2B et 2D.
Le chargement d'un casier 5 de l'ensemble selon l'invention par des documents provoque le blocage d'un élément de rangement par rapport à l'autre.Only the first element of the storage assembly rests on the surface 4 by its edges 2B and 2D.
The loading of a locker 5 of the assembly according to the invention with documents causes the blocking of a storage element relative to the other.

En effet les documents sont supportés par l'assise 3B d'un premier élément et s'appuient sur le dossier 3A d'un autre élément placé sur le dit premier.
Cet appui des documents sur le dossier 3A d'un élément placé devant favorise le calage de celui sur l'élément qui le supporte.Indeed, the documents are supported by the seat 3B of a first element and are based on the file 3A of another element placed on said first.
This support of the documents on the file 3A of an element placed in front promotes the setting of that on the element which supports it.

De plus la répartition du poids des documents sur l'assise 3B d'un premier élément favorise également le calage de celui-ci sur l'élément de rangement qui le supporte.In addition the distribution of the weight of the documents on the seat 3B of a first element also promotes the setting of the latter on the storage element which supports it.

Il n'existe donc aucun risque de basculement d'un élément ou d'un autre lors du chargement d'un ou plusieurs casiers quelconques.There is therefore no risk of an element or another tipping over during the loading of any one or more compartments.

Les éléments de rangement sont donc placés les uns derrière les autres et les uns sur une partie des autres et forment un ensemble de rangement sur une surface 4 qui peut être constituée d'une étagère d'une armoire ou autre.The storage elements are therefore placed one behind the other and one on a part of the other and form a storage unit on a surface 4 which may consist of a shelf of a cabinet or the like.

Préférentiellement les éléments de rangement sont alignés les uns derrière les autres pour former l'ensemble de rangement.Preferably the storage elements are aligned one behind the other to form the storage assembly.

Le dit ensemble de rangement est doté à une de ces extrémités d'un élément de rangement qui ne définit pas de casier 5 entre son dossier 3A et son assise 3B avec le dossier 3A d'un autre élément comme c'est le cas pour tous les autres éléments de l'ensemble mais qui est pourvu toutefois d'une surface support 3C et d'un talon 3D.Said storage assembly is provided at one of these ends with a storage element which does not define a locker 5 between its backrest 3A and its seat 3B with the backrest 3A of another element as is the case for all the other elements of the assembly but which is however provided with a 3C support surface and a 3D heel.

Afin de former un autre casier 5 avec cet élément de rangement d'extrémité l'ensemble de rangement est pourvu d'un élément de rangement terminal 6.In order to form another rack 5 with this end storage element, the storage assembly is provided with an end storage element 6.

Tel que représenté en figure 4 l'élément de rangement terminal est constitué de façon identique à l'élément de rangement et est dépourvu d'une surface de support 3C et d'un talon 3E et sa paroi de liaison 3D est de longueur sensiblement égale à celle du talon 3E d'un élément de rangement selon l'invention.As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal storage element is constituted in an identical manner to the storage element and does not have a support surface 3C and a heel 3E and its 3D connecting wall is of substantially equal length. to that of the heel 3E of a storage element according to the invention.

Ainsi cet élément terminal 6 est placé sur la surface de support 3C du dernier élément de rangement par son assise 3B et est bloqué sur celui-ci par l'appui de sa paroi de liaison 3D contre le talon 3E du dit dernier élément.Thus, this terminal element 6 is placed on the support surface 3C of the last storage element by its seat 3B and is blocked thereon by the support of its 3D connecting wall against the heel 3E of said last element.

Ainsi le dossier 3A de cet élément terminal 6 forme un casier 5 avec le dernier élément de rangement de l'ensemble.Thus the folder 3A of this terminal element 6 forms a rack 5 with the last storage element of the assembly.

Accessoirement cet élément de rangement terminal 6 peut être fixé contre le dernier élément de rangement de l'ensemble par tout moyen connu par exemple par visserie ou autre.Incidentally, this terminal storage element 6 can be fixed against the last storage element of the assembly by any known means, for example by screws or the like.

Cet élément terminal 6 permet de former un dernier casier 5 sans allonger l'ensemble de rangement.This terminal element 6 makes it possible to form a last rack 5 without extending the storage assembly.

Selon un autre avantage de l'élément de rangement selon l'invention l'angle entre l'assise 3B et la paroi de liaison 3D est supérieur à 90° afin de pouvoir lors du transport empiler les éléments de rangement les uns sur les autres c'est-à-dire à placer les assises 3B des éléments les unes sur les autres et donc les dossiers 3A les uns contre les autres.According to another advantage of the storage element according to the invention the angle between the seat 3B and the 3D connecting wall is greater than 90 ° in order to be able to stack the storage elements on top of each other during transport, that is to say to place the seats 3B of the elements on top of each other and therefore the 3A files against each other.

L'élément de rangement selon l'invention est préférentiellement métallique mais peut être réalisé en tout autre matière suffisamment rigide.The storage element according to the invention is preferably metallic but can be made of any other sufficiently rigid material.

L'élément de rangement est de fabrication trés simple et est peu onéreux et permet la réalisation rapide et sans accessoire de fixation d'un ensemble de rangement à casiers inclinés.The storage element is very simple to manufacture and is inexpensive and allows the rapid production without attachment accessory of a storage assembly with inclined lockers.
