A receiver of wastepaper basket type comprising a receiver basket (1, 1') mounted on a support (2, 2') and a lid (3, 3') which pivots about a spindle (4) integral with the said support, the receiver basket being arranged to be able to tilt forwards with respect to the support when the lid is opened and the lid when it is closed keeping the receiver basket flat against the support, characterized by the fact that the lid and the receiver basket included complementary members (7, 7'-9, 9') forming a cam so that when the receiver basket is in its position tilted forwards and then the lid is closed again, the receiver basket is brought back again towards its position flat against the support.

Description

La présente invention concerne un récipient du type corbeille à papier et plus particulièrement un tel récipient comprenant un panier récepteur monté sur un support et un couvercle pivotant sur un axe solidaire dudit support, le panier récepteur étant agencé pour pouvoir basculer vers l'avant par rapport au support lorsque le couvercle est ouvert et le couvercle maintenant, lorsqu'il est fermé, le panier récepteur plaqué contre le support.The present invention relates to a container of the wastepaper basket type and more particularly such a container comprising a receiving basket mounted on a support and a cover pivoting on an axis integral with said support, the receiving basket being arranged to be able to tilt forwards with respect to to the support when the cover is open and the cover now, when closed, the receiving basket pressed against the support.

Un tel récipient est décrit par exemple dans la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 060 794 qui revendique une priorité du 17.03.81, qui a été publiée le 22.09.82 et qui, par suite, fait partie de l'état de la technique défini à l'article 54(3) de la C.B.E.Such a container is described, for example, in European patent application EP-A-0 060 794 which claims a priority from 17.03.81, which was published on 22.09.82 and which, consequently, forms part of the state of the technique defined in Article 54 (3) of the EPC

Ces récipients donnent généralement satisfaction mais sont cependant parfois relativement difficiles à fermer.These containers are generally satisfactory but are however sometimes relatively difficult to close.

Il est en effet nécessaire de plaquer simultanément le panier récepteur contre le support et d'abaisser le couvercle pour assurer le verrouillage. Ces deux mouvements doivent être synchronisés surtout lorsque le panier récepteur et le couvercle comportent des organes d'enclenchement coopérants, de façon à assurer une fermeture verrouillée du couvercle.It is indeed necessary to simultaneously press the receiving basket against the support and lower the cover to ensure locking. These two movements must be synchronized, especially when the receiving basket and the cover have cooperating latching members, so as to ensure a locked closure of the cover.

La présente invention vise à palier ces inconvénients en fournissant un récipient du type mentionné ci-dessus dans lequel le panier récepteur se met en place automatiquement lors de la fermeture du couvercle.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by providing a container of the type mentioned above in which the receiving basket is placed automatically when the lid is closed.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un récipient du type corbeille à papier comprenant un panier récepteur monté sur un support et un couvercle à papier comprenant un panier récepteur monté sur un support et un couvercle pivotant sur un axe solidaire dudit support, le panier récepteur étant agencé pour pouvoir basculer vers l'avant par rapport au support lorsque le couvercle est ouvert et le couvercle maintenant, lorsqu'il est fermé, le panier récepteur plaqué contre le support, caractérisé par le fait que le couvercle et le panier récepteur comprennent des organes complémentaires formant came de sorte lorsque le panier récepteur est dans sa position basculée vers l'avant et que le couvercle est refermé, le panier récepteur soit ramené en arrière vers sa position plaquée contre le support.To this end, the subject of the present invention is a container of the wastepaper basket type comprising a receiving basket mounted on a support and a paper cover comprising a receiving basket mounted on a support and a pivoting cover on an axis integral with said support, the receiving basket being arranged so that it can tilt forwards with respect to the support when the cover is open and the cover now, when closed, the receiving basket pressed against the support, characterized in that the cover and the receiving basket include complementary members forming a cam so that when the receiving basket is in its tilted forward position and the cover is closed, the receiving basket is brought back to its position pressed against the support.

C'est ainsi, par la coopération des organes formant came, que le panier récepteur est ramené dans sa position d'utilisation plaquée contre son support, lors de la fermeture du couvercle.Thus, by the cooperation of the cam members, the receiving basket is returned to its position of use pressed against its support, when the cover is closed.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, les organes formant came comprennent au moins une nervure solidaire du couvercle, nervure dont la surface de came se trouve dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation du couvercle.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cam members comprise at least one rib integral with the cover, a rib whose cam surface is in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cover.

Par ailleurs, les organes formant came peuvent aussi comprendre le bord du panier récepteur qui peut alors coopérer avec la nervure mentionnée ci-dessus.Furthermore, the cam members can also include the edge of the receiving basket which can then cooperate with the rib mentioned above.

Dans ce cas, le couvercle peut comprendre une gorge périphérique susceptible de recevoir le bord du panier récepteur, la surface de came de la nervure s'étendant à partir du bord interne de cette gorge.In this case, the cover may include a peripheral groove capable of receiving the edge of the receiving basket, the cam surface of the rib extending from the internal edge of this groove.

Ainsi, l'enclenchement du bord du panier récepteur dans la gorge du couvercle est assuré puisque le bord du panier glisse sur la surface de came de la nervure et est ainsi guidée jusqu'au bord interne de celle-ci.Thus, the engagement of the edge of the receiving basket in the groove of the cover is ensured since the edge of the basket slides on the cam surface of the rib and is thus guided to the internal edge of the latter.

On décrira maintenant à titre d'exemple non limitatif des modes de réalisation de l'invention en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de côté d'une corbeille à papier selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale de la corbeille de la figure 1, montrant à plus grande échelle le couvercle dans sa position ouverte,
  • la figure 3 est une vue similaire à la figure 2 dans laquelle le couvercle est dans sa position fermée et,
  • la figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 d'une variante de réalisation.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a wastepaper basket according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a view in longitudinal section of the basket of FIG. 1, showing on a larger scale the cover in its open position,
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 in which the cover is in its closed position and,
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of an alternative embodiment.

La corbeille à papier représentée aux figures 1 à 3 est du type de celle de la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 060 794 et ne sera donc pas décrite ici en détail.The wastepaper basket represented in FIGS. 1 to 3 is of the type of that of European patent application EP-A-0 060 794 and will therefore not be described here in detail.

Cette corbeille à papier comprend un panier récepteur 1 monté sur un support 2 et fermé par un couvercle 3 pivotant autour d'un axe transversal sensiblement horizontal 4 monté également sur le support 2.This wastepaper basket comprises a receiving basket 1 mounted on a support 2 and closed by a cover 3 pivoting about a substantially horizontal transverse axis 4 also mounted on the support 2.

Le panier récepteur 1 peut pivoter autout d'un axe inférieur horizontal 5 du support 2 entre une position où il est maintenu plaqué contre ce support par le couvercle 3 lorsque ce dernier est fermé, et une position représentée à la figure 1 dans laquelle il est basculé vers l'avant et maintenu dans cette position à l'aide d'un crochet 6 coopérant avec une nervure non représentée du support 2.The receiving basket 1 can pivot around a lower horizontal axis 5 of the support 2 between a position where it is kept pressed against this support by the cover 3 when the latter is closed, and a position shown in FIG. 1 in which it is tilted forward and kept in this position using a hook 6 cooperating with a not shown rib of the support 2.

Dans la position fermée du couvercle, le bord supérieur 7 du panier récepteur 1 vient s'enclencher dans une gorge 8 formée à la périphérie du couvercle 3, ce qui empêche ainsi tout déplacement vers le haut ou tout basculement vers l'avant du panier récepteur 1.In the closed position of the cover, the upper edge 7 of the receiving basket 1 engages in a groove 8 formed at the periphery of the cover 3, which thus prevents any upward movement or any tilting of the receiving basket forward. 1.

Selon l'invention, le couvercle 3 comporte à sa partie arrière du côté de l'axe de rotation 4, au moins une nervure 9 dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 4.According to the invention, the cover 3 comprises at its rear part on the side of the axis of rotation 4, at least one rib 9 in a plane perpendicular to the axis 4.

La nervure 9 s'étend vers l'intérieur et vers le bas par rapport au bord inférieur 10 du couvercle 3 pour former une surface de came 11 susceptible de coopérer avec le bord 7 du panier récepteur 1.The rib 9 extends inward and downward relative to the lower edge 10 of the cover 3 to form a cam surface 11 capable of cooperating with the edge 7 of the receiving basket 1.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, lorsque l'on commence à abaisser le couvercle 3 selon la flèche F1, la partie inférieure de la surface de came 11 vient au contact du bord 7 du panier récepteur 1.As can be seen in FIG. 2, when one begins to lower the cover 3 according to arrow F1, the lower part of the cam surface 11 comes into contact with the edge 7 of the receiving basket 1.

Lorsque le mouvement se poursuit dans la direction de la flèche F1, la surface de came 11 coopérant avec le bord 7 rabat le panier récepteur 1 selon la flèche F2 pour venir progressivement le plaquer contre le support 2 (non représenté aux figures 2 et 3).When the movement continues in the direction of arrow F1, the cam surface 11 cooperating with the edge 7 flaps the receiving basket 1 according to arrow F2 to progressively press it against the support 2 (not shown in Figures 2 and 3).

La surface de came 11 se termine à sa partie supérieure au voisinage immédiat du bord 12 de la gorge 8 de sorte qu'en fermant complètement le couvercle 3 comme représenté à la figure 3 le bord 7 du panier récepteur 1 vient automatiquement s'engager à l'intérieur de la gorge périphérique 8 du couvercle 3.The cam surface 11 ends at its upper part in the immediate vicinity of the edge 12 of the groove 8 so that by completely closing the cover 3 as shown in FIG. 3 the edge 7 of the receiving basket 1 automatically engages inside the peripheral groove 8 of the cover 3.

La figure 4 représente une autre corbeille à papier dans laquelle le panier récepteur 1' est monté pivotant par rapport au support 2' autour d'un axe 5' situé au niveau du milieu du panier. récepteur 1'. Le couvercle 3' de cette corbeille à papier comporte selon l'invention une nervure 9' susceptible de coopérer avec le bord 7' du panier récepteur 1' pour faire basculer ce panier de la position représentée à la figure 4 à sa position d'utilisation où il se trouve sensiblement vertical, plaqué contre le support 2'.Figure 4 shows another wastepaper basket in which the receiving basket 1 'is pivotally mounted relative to the support 2' about an axis 5 'located at the middle of the basket. 1 'receiver. The cover 3 'of this wastepaper basket comprises, according to the invention, a rib 9' capable of cooperating with the edge 7 'of the receiving basket 1' to tilt this basket from the position shown in FIG. 4 to its position of use where it is substantially vertical, pressed against the support 2 '.

On constate sur les figures 1 et 4 que la dimension de la nervure selon l'invention est adaptée aux degrés de basculement possibles pour le panier, de telle sorte que la partie inférieure de la surface de came de cette nervure puisse venir en contact avec le bord supérieur du panier, lors de la fermeture du couvercle.It can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 4 that the dimension of the rib according to the invention is adapted to the possible degrees of tilting for the basket, so that the lower part of the cam surface of this rib can come into contact with the upper edge of basket when closing the lid.

Bien entendu, diverses modifications et variantes peuvent être apportées au mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus sans sortir pour autant du cadre ni de l'esprit de l'invention telle que définie par les revendications.Of course, various modifications and variants can be made to the embodiment described above without departing from the scope or the spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.
