Description

La présente invention a pour objet une armoire métallique comportant une ossature parallélépipédique dont deux faces latérales au moins, opposées l'une à l'autre, sont obturées par des panneaux rectangulaires, l'ossature comprenant quatre montants constitués par des profilés tubulaires assemblés à leurs extrémités respectives avec deux cadres, de forme rectangulaire ou carrée, constitués d'éléments tubulaires.The subject of the present invention is a metal cabinet comprising a parallelepipedic framework of which at least two lateral faces, opposite one another, are closed by rectangular panels, the framework comprising four uprights constituted by tubular profiles assembled at their respective ends with two frames, rectangular or square, made of tubular elements.

Une armoire de ce type, décrite dans FR - A - 1 150 069, comporte une carcasse composée de deux cadres horizontaux constitués de profilés assemblés au moyen de goussets horizontaux et de quatre montants tubulaires cylindriques dans lesquels sont emmanchées des broches portées par les goussets, l'habillage de la carcasse comprenant, outre des panneaux latéraux pourvus de rebords cintrés en forme de gouttière, dans lesquels s'emboîtent les montants cylindriques, un panneau de fond fixé au moyen de vis ou d'agrafes sur les rebords des panneaux latéraux et un panneau antérieur formé par une porte coulissante ou basculante.A cabinet of this type, described in FR - A - 1 150 069, comprises a carcass made up of two horizontal frames made up of profiles assembled by means of horizontal gussets and four cylindrical tubular uprights in which are fitted pins carried by the gussets, the covering of the carcass comprising, in addition to side panels provided with curved edges in the form of a gutter, in which the cylindrical uprights fit, a bottom panel fixed by means of screws or staples on the edges of the side panels and a front panel formed by a sliding or tilting door.

Le but de l'invention est de réaliser une armoire du type mentionné dont le montage soit plus simple que celui de l'armoire connue en rendant possible et facile l'érection de l'armoire autour d'un ensemble existant qui doit être protégé, par exemple d'une colonne à tambours rotatifs pour le classement de dossiers.The object of the invention is to produce a cabinet of the type mentioned, the mounting of which is simpler than that of the known cabinet, making it possible and easy to erect the cabinet around an existing assembly which must be protected, for example a rotary drum column for filing files.

L'armoire suivant l'invention est caractérisée en ce que chacun des panneaux opposés comporte à son extrémité inférieure un rebord emboîté sur l'élément tubulaire correspondant du cadre inférieur, tandis que son extrémité haute comporte un coude qui forme un rebord posé sur l'élément tubulaire correspondant du cadre supérieur, lequel est coiffé d'un toit constitué par une tôle dont les bords sont pliés à angle droit, de manière à former un couvercle dont les bords recouvrent l'extrémité haute des panneaux et les verrouillent en assurant leur assemblage.The cabinet according to the invention is characterized in that each of the opposite panels comprises at its lower end a flange fitted on the corresponding tubular element of the lower frame, while its upper end comprises a bend which forms a flange placed on the corresponding tubular element of the upper frame, which is capped with a roof consisting of a sheet metal the edges of which are folded at right angles, so as to form a cover whose edges cover the upper end of the panels and lock them while ensuring their assembly .

La simplicité du montage tient au fait qu'après l'exécution de l'ossature, la mise en place des panneaux d'habillage et de la porte n'exige que des opérations d'emboîtement ou d'emmanchement, sans le secours d'un outil quelconque, ce qui permit à un personnel non qualifié de procéder très facilement à l'assemblage. De plus, la structure même de l'ossature, et en particulier l'utilisation d'un cadre inférieur réduit en fait à un contour fermé délimitant un espace intérieur totalement libre, permet de construire l'armoire par exemple autour d'une colonne de classement à tambours rotatifs, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de retirer le moindre dossier des tambours ou de démonter ces derniers.The simplicity of the assembly is due to the fact that after the execution of the framework, the installation of the panels of covering and the door requires only operations of interlocking or fitting, without the help of any tool, which allowed unqualified personnel to easily assemble. In addition, the very structure of the framework, and in particular the use of a lower frame reduced in fact to a closed outline delimiting a completely free interior space, makes it possible to build the cabinet for example around a column of classification with rotary drums, without the need to remove any files from the drums or to dismantle them.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, dans chaque cadre les éléments tubulaires adjacents, définissant un angle du cadre, ont un contact jointif suivant une arête commune, de manière à ménager vers l'extérieur une encoche destinée à épouser le profil du montant correspondant, et ils sont assemblés au moyen d'un gousset soudé constituant une plaquette orientée obliquement, à travers laquelle peut être insérée une vis orientée diagonalement, qui est vissée dans un trou taraudé correspondant du montant associé pour assurer l'assemblage de ce dernier avec le cadre.According to another characteristic of the invention, in each frame the adjacent tubular elements, defining an angle of the frame, have a contiguous contact along a common edge, so as to provide outwardly a notch intended to match the profile of the corresponding amount , and they are assembled by means of a welded gusset constituting an obliquely oriented plate, through which a diagonally oriented screw can be inserted, which is screwed into a corresponding tapped hole of the associated upright to ensure the assembly of the latter with the frame.

L'assemblage de l'ossature elle-même, qui n'exige comme outil qu'un simple tournevis, est donc facile lui aussi. Cet assemblage peut être encore simplifié si, suivant une variante de l'invention, les cadres comportent, en chacun de leurs angles, des embouts rigides orientés perpendiculairement au plan du cadre, qui peuvent être emboîtés dans l'ouverture interne des montants tubulaires.The assembly of the frame itself, which requires only a simple screwdriver as a tool, is therefore also easy. This assembly can be further simplified if, according to a variant of the invention, the frames comprise, at each of their angles, rigid end pieces oriented perpendicular to the plane of the frame, which can be fitted into the internal opening of the tubular uprights.

L'invention sera explicitée de façon purement indicative au cours de la description qui va suivre, en référence au dessin annexé, dans lequel:

  • - la fig. 1 représente en perspective, avec arrachement, une armoire métallique suivant l'invention;
  • - la fig. 2 est une vue de dessus partielle de l'armoire, couvercle enlevé;
  • - la fig. 3 est une vue partielle, en coupe verticale d'une face de l'armoire montrant un battant de porte rentré.
The invention will be explained in a purely indicative manner during the description which follows, with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • - fig. 1 shows in perspective, with cutaway, a metal cabinet according to the invention;
  • - fig. 2 is a partial top view of the cabinet, cover removed;
  • - fig. 3 is a partial view, in vertical section, of a face of the cabinet showing a retracted door leaf.

L'armoire métallique représentée est construite à partir d'une ossature comprenant quatre montants tubulaires 1, de section carrée, et deux cadres 2, 3, de forme rectangulaire ou carrée, dont les côtés 4,4-6,6 sont des tubes ayant la même section carrée que les montants 1. Dans chaque cadre 2, 3 les éléments tubulaires 4, 6 définissant un angle du cadre, ont un contact jointif suivant une arête commune 7 de manière à ménager vers l'extérieur une encoche à angle droit 8 épousant le demi-profil tubulaire du montant 1 correspondant, et ils sont assemblés au moyen d'un gousset 9 qui forme une plaquette disposée obliquement, dont des tranches sont soudées sur les éléments tubulaires respectifs. Dans la plaquette 9 et dans la zone des éléments 4, 6, qui est adjacente à l'arête commune 7, sont prévus des trous en coînci- dence 11, 12 à travers lesquels est enfilée une vis 13 orientée diagonalement et vissée dans un trou taraudé correspondant 14 du montant 1, pour assurer l'assemblage rigide de ce dernier avec le cadre.The metal cabinet shown is constructed from a frame comprising four tubular uprights 1, of square section, and two frames 2, 3, of rectangular or square shape, the sides of which 4,4-6,6 are tubes having the same square section as the uprights 1. In each frame 2, 3 the tubular elements 4, 6 defining an angle of the frame, have a contiguous contact along a common edge 7 so as to form outwards a notch at right angles 8 matching the tubular half-profile of the corresponding upright 1, and they are assembled by means of a gusset 9 which forms a plate arranged obliquely, the edges of which are welded to the respective tubular elements. In the plate 9 and in the area of the elements 4, 6, which is adjacent to the common edge 7, there are provided coincident holes 11, 12 through which is threaded a screw 13 diagonally oriented and screwed into a hole corresponding thread 14 of the upright 1, to ensure the rigid assembly of the latter with the frame.

L'habillage de l'ossature, pour la confection de l'armoire, est réalisé au moyen de troise panneaux verticaux 16 recouvrant trois faces verticales de l'ossature, et d'une porte 17 à deux battants 18 montée de manière à pouvoir obturer la quatrième face.The covering of the frame, for the making of the cabinet, is carried out by means of three vertical panels 16 covering three vertical faces of the frame, and of a door 17 with two leaves 18 mounted so as to be able to be closed. the fourth side.

Chaque panneau vertical 16, de forme générale rectangulaire, est en tôle et peut être raidi par un profilé de renforcement 19, de section en oméga, soudé sur la face interne. Les bords verticaux du panneau sont coudés à angle droit, en 16a, et sont en contact avec les faces correspondantes des montants 1. L'extrémité haute du panneau comporte un rebord horizontal 21 qui est posé sur le côté correspondant 4 du cadre supérieur 3, tandis que sur l'extrémité basse est soudé intérieurement un profile en Z 22 qui forme un rebord emboîte autour du côté correspondant 4 du cadre inférieur 2. Les trois panneaux 16 sont maintenus et verrouillés par un toit 3 constitué par une tôle dont les bords 24 sont pliés à angle droit, de manière à recouvrir l'extrémité haute des panneaux appuyée sur le cadre 3.Each vertical panel 16, of generally rectangular shape, is made of sheet metal and can be stiffened by a reinforcing profile 19, of omega section, welded on the internal face. The vertical edges of the panel are bent at right angles, at 16a, and are in contact with the corresponding faces of the uprights 1. The top end of the panel has a horizontal flange 21 which is placed on the corresponding side 4 of the upper frame 3, while on the lower end is internally welded a Z-shaped profile 22 which forms a flange fitted around the corresponding side 4 of the lower frame 2. The three panels 16 are held and locked by a roof 3 constituted by a sheet metal whose edges 24 are folded at right angles, so as to cover the upper end of the panels resting on the frame 3.

Dans le cas où l'armoire doit être équipée de tablettes de rangement, on utilise pour les montants 1 des tubes comportant des perforations régulièrement espacées, permettant la pose de crochets et le réglage en hauteur des tablettes.In the case where the cabinet must be fitted with storage shelves, tubes 1 having regularly spaced perforations are used for the uprights 1, allowing the installation of hooks and the height adjustment of the shelves.

Dans l'exemple représenté l'armoire est toutefois prévue pour contenir une colonne de classement à tambours rotatifs, de sorte qu'il n'y a pas de tablette et que, pour faciliter l'accès aux tambours portant des dossiers, chaque battant de porte 18 est adapté pour rentrer à l'intérieur de l'armoire le long des panneaux latéraux 16, en position ouverte. A cet effet, à chacune de ses extrémités haute et basse, chaque battant 18 est articulé sur un tube carré 26 soudé sur l'élément tubulaire 6 du cadre correspondant, au moyen d'une biellette 27 dont l'une des extrémités est soudée sur un axe 28 engagé à rotation dans des douilles en U 29 soudées sur la face arrière du battant 18, et dont l'autre extrémité est munie d'une douille cylidrique 31 dans laquelle est inséré un axe d'articulation 32 engagé dans le tube 26 correspondant. Pour la commodité du montage, l'axe supérieur 32 est fixé à demeure dans la douille 31 associée, tandis que l'axe inférieur 32 est amovible. Au cours de son mouvement de rentrée, correspondant à l'ouverture, chaque battant 18 est guidé, à la partie haute de l'ossature, dans un couloir 33 délimité par le panneau 16 adjacent et par un rail de guidage courbe 34 qui, à partir de l'entrée large du couloir, se raproche du 16 en laissant un espace suffisant pour le coulissement du battant dont le mouvement jusqu'à la position finale de la figure 3 est clairement représenté à la figure 2.In the example shown, the cabinet is however designed to contain a classification column with rotary drums, so that there is no shelf and that, to facilitate access to the drums carrying files, each leaf of door 18 is suitable for entering the interior of the cabinet along the side panels 16, in the open position. To this end, at each of its upper and lower ends, each leaf 18 is articulated on a square tube 26 welded to the tubular element 6 of the corresponding frame, by means of a link 27, one of the ends of which is welded to an axis 28 rotatably engaged in U-shaped sockets 29 welded to the rear face of the leaf 18, and the other end of which is provided with a cylindrical sleeve 31 in which is inserted a hinge pin 32 engaged in the tube 26 corresponding. For the convenience of mounting, the upper axis 32 is permanently fixed in the associated socket 31, while the lower axis 32 is removable. During its reentry movement, corresponding to the opening, each leaf 18 is guided, at the upper part of the framework, in a corridor 33 delimited by the adjacent panel 16 and by a curved guide rail 34 which, at from the wide entrance of the corridor, approaches 16 leaving a sufficient space for the sliding of the leaf whose movement to the final position of figure 3 is clearly represented in figure 2.

La figure 3 montre en outre que, pour éviter que le bord plié 24 du couvercle 23 ne présente une surépaisseur par rapport à la face externe du panneau 16, le rebord d'appui 21 de ce panneau est constitué par l'aile horizontale d'une équerre 36 dont l'aile verticale est soudée sur la face interne du panneau 16.Figure 3 further shows that, to prevent the folded edge 24 of the cover 23 from having an excess thickness with respect to the external face of the panel 16, the support flange 21 of this panel is constituted by the horizontal wing of a bracket 36 whose vertical wing is welded to the internal face of the panel 16.
