Abstract

The storage cabinet comprises a plurality of superposed storage compartments pivoting about horizontal axes to pass from an open position to a closed position, and vice-versa. Each compartment is in the shape of a trough with a bottom part constituted by a portion of cylinder and two lateral end walls. Each trough is provided at its rear part with a tongue piece which extends inwardly substantially perpendicularly to the bottom wall of the trough and ensures, in the trough closed position, a continuity with the bottom wall of the lower adjacent trough, so that in the closed position, each trough is entirely closed.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un coffret de rangement à compartiments de rangement multiples, comportant un bâti dans lequel sont montés plusieurs compartiments de rangement alignés susceptibles de présenter chacun une première position fermée et une seconde position ouverte, les compartiments de rangement étant répartis selon au moins deux rangées superposées et présentant la forme de godets pivotant autour d'axes horizontaux parallèles montés dans le bâti, chaque godet présentant une paroi de fond constituée par une portion de cylindre et deux parois latérales d'extrémité.The present invention relates to a storage box with multiple storage compartments, comprising a frame in which are mounted several aligned storage compartments capable of each having a first closed position and a second open position, the storage compartments being distributed according to at least two superimposed rows and having the form of buckets pivoting around parallel horizontal axes mounted in the frame, each bucket having a bottom wall constituted by a cylinder portion and two end side walls.

On connaît divers coffrets ou meubles de rangement comportant un ensemble de compartiments destinés à ranger des objets en vrac, de divers types tels que des outils, pièces détachées, ou similaires. Du fait de la pluralité des compartiments, il est possible de réaliser un classement des objets en fonction de leur type, chaque compartiment pouvant ne comprendre que des objets d'un même type.Various boxes or storage units are known, comprising a set of compartments intended for storing loose objects of various types such as tools, spare parts, or the like. Due to the plurality of compartments, it is possible to classify the objects according to their type, each compartment possibly comprising only objects of the same type.

Lorsque l'on désire faire rapidement un choix parmi divers objets placés dans des compartiments différents, par exemple parmi diverses pièces d'une même nature, mais rangées dans des compartiments différents du fait de leur classement, par exemple selon la taille ou la forme, il est souvent long et fastidieux de rechercher successivement dans les divers compartiments qui sont généralement réalisés dans des tiroirs ou similaire. De plus, les meubles ou coffrets de rangement à tiroirs ne sont pas toujours suffisamment compacts ou ne permettent pas un accès aisé aux objets stockés dans les tiroirs. En particulier, lorsque deux tiroirs adjacents superposés sont ouverts simultanément, il n'est plus possible d'avoir accès à l'intérieur du tiroir du dessous, puisque le fond du tiroir supérieur vient recouvrir l'ouverture du tiroir inférieur. La recherche d'une pièce ou d'un objet parmi une multiplicité de compartiments dans des meubles ou coffrets de rangement classiques s'avère ainsi souvent relativement longue.When you want to quickly choose from various objects placed in different compartments, for example among various pieces of the same kind, but stored in different compartments because of their classification, for example according to size or shape, it is often long and tedious to search successively in the various compartments which are generally made in drawers or the like. In addition, the furniture or storage boxes with drawers are not always sufficiently compact or do not allow easy access to the objects stored in the drawers. In particular, when two superimposed adjacent drawers are open simultaneously, it is no longer possible to have access to the interior of the drawer below, since the bottom of the upper drawer covers the opening of the lower drawer. The search for a room or an object among a multiplicity of compartments in conventional furniture or storage boxes thus often turns out to be relatively long.

On connaît également par le brevet U.S. 1 883 776 des meubles de rangement comportant un ensemble de compartiments de rangement superposés et constitués par des godets pivotant autour d'axes horizontaux parallèles, la commande de l'ouverture et de la fermeture des godets pouvant être effectuée simultanément au moyen d'une tringle, Un tel type de meuble de rangement s'avère cependant peu fonctionnel en pratique car le volume de rangement et l'angle d'ouverture des godets sont limités. L'encombrement en hauteur du meuble est par ailleurs relativement important, et les objets disposés dans les godets peuvent facilement s'échapper par l'arrière en position fermée de ces derniers.Also known from US Pat. No. 1,883,776 are storage units comprising a set of superimposed storage compartments constituted by buckets pivoting about parallel horizontal axes, the opening and closing of the buckets being able to be carried out. simultaneously by means of a rod, such a type of storage cabinet proves however not very practical in practice because the storage volume and the opening angle of the buckets are limited. The overall height of the cabinet is also relatively large, and the objects placed in the buckets can easily escape from the rear in the closed position of the latter.

L'invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de réaliser un coffret de rangement à compartiments de rangement multiples qui soit à la fois compact. facile à fabriquer et commode à utiliser et qui permette d'avoir accès rapidement à chacun des compartiments de rangement, grâce à un passage quasi instantané de la position fermée à la position ouverte de chacun des compartiments, et qui offre un volume de. rangement important dans des récipients parfaitement clos en position fermée et présentant une excellente accessibilité en position ouverte.The object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to produce a storage box with multiple storage compartments which is both compact. easy to manufacture and convenient to use and which allows quick access to each of the storage compartments, thanks to an almost instantaneous passage from the closed position to the open position of each of the compartments, and which offers a volume of. large storage in perfectly closed containers in the closed position and with excellent accessibility in the open position.

Ces buts sont atteints grâce à un coffret de rangement à compartiments de rangement multiples selon la revendication 1.These aims are achieved by means of a storage box with multiple storage compartments according to claim 1.

La réalisation de compartiments de stockage sous la forme de godets pivotants assure une rapidité d'ouverture ou fermeture plus grande qu'avec des tiroirs coulissants et confère également une excellente facilité d'accès aux différents compartiments, même lorsque ceux-ci sont tous en position ouverte. Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'ensemble des compartiments peut d'ailleurs être réalisée simultanément, ce qui augmente encore la rapidité de recherche des objets placés dans le coffret, le coffret se transformant automatiquement en présentoir lorsqu'il est en position ouverte.The provision of storage compartments in the form of pivoting buckets ensures greater opening or closing speed than with sliding drawers and also gives excellent accessibility to the various compartments, even when these are all in position. opened. According to an advantageous embodiment, the opening or closing of all the compartments can also be carried out simultaneously, which further increases the speed of searching for the objects placed in the box, the box automatically transforming into a display when 'it is in the open position.

De façon plus particulière, selon l'invention, chaque godet pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal présente une paroi de fond constituée par une portion de cylindre et deux parois latérales d'extrémité, et la paroi de fond présente vue en section dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement du godet, une première partie arrière de rayon progressivement croissant à partir de l'extrémité libre arrière de la paroi de fond, par rapport à un centre de courbure w, une seconde partie principale de rayon sensiblement constant par rapport audit centre de courbure, et une troisième partie avant sensiblement rectiligne, les première, deuxième et troisième parties étant raccordées les unes aux autres successivement sans discontinuité.More specifically, according to the invention, each bucket pivoting about a horizontal axis has a bottom wall constituted by a cylinder portion and two end side walls, and the bottom wall has a section view in a plane perpendicular to the pivot axis of the bucket, a first rear part of radius gradually increasing from the rear free end of the bottom wall, with respect to a center of curvature w, a second main part of radius substantially constant by with respect to said center of curvature, and a third substantially straight front part, the first, second and third parts being connected to each other successively without discontinuity.

Suivant un mode particulier de réalisation, ladite première partie arrière comprend, à partir de l'extrémité libre arrière de la paroi de fond une première portion sensiblement rectiligne de faible longueur et une seconde portion courbe présentant un rayon sensiblement constant par rapport à un second centre de courbure situé au-dessus du centre de pivotement du godet dans un plan axial vertical et le rayon de la seconde portion courbe est légèrement inférieur au rayon de la seconde partie principale, le centre de courbure étant situé à mi-hauteur entre le second centre de courbure et le centre de pivotement et légèrement en avant de ces derniers.According to a particular embodiment, said first rear part comprises, from the rear free end of the bottom wall a first substantially straight portion of short length and a second curved portion having a radius substantially constant with respect to a second center of curvature located above the pivot center of the bucket in a vertical axial plane and the radius of the second curved portion is slightly less than the radius of the second main part, the center of curvature being located halfway between the second center of curvature and the center of pivoting and slightly in front of them.

La première partie présente une ouverture angulaire comprise entre environ 50° et 80° et la seconde partie présente une ouverture angulaire comprise entre environ 140° et 160°.The first part has an angular opening between about 50 ° and 80 ° and the second part has an angular opening between about 140 ° and 160 °.

La partie de paroi de fond de plus petit rayon présente un rayon minimum de l'ordre de 75 à 85 % du rayon R de la seconde partie principale et la troisième partie sensiblement rectiligne présente une longueur de l'ordre de 100 % à 140 % du rayon R de la seconde partie principale.The bottom wall portion of smaller radius has a minimum radius of the order of 75 to 85% of the radius R of the second main part and the substantially straight third part has a length of the order of 100% to 140% of the radius R of the second main part.

En position fermée du godet, la zone de raccordement entre la troisième partie et la seconde partie est située sensiblement dans un plan horizontal passant par l'axe de pivotement du godet.In the closed position of the bucket, the connection zone between the third part and the second part is situated substantially in a horizontal plane passing through the pivot axis of the bucket.

En position fermée du godet, la troisième partie est inclinée vers l'intérieur du godet par rapport à la verticale d'un angle compris entre environ 4° et 8° et de préférence voisin de 5°.In the closed position of the bucket, the third part is inclined towards the inside of the bucket relative to the vertical by an angle of between approximately 4 ° and 8 ° and preferably close to 5 °.

En position fermée du godet, l'extrémité libre de la première partie de la paroi de fond est située dans un plan faisant un angle compris entre environ 25 et 35° par rapport au plan horizontal passant par l'axe contenant les seconds centres de courbure.In the closed position of the bucket, the free end of the first part of the bottom wall is located in a plane making an angle of between approximately 25 and 35 ° relative to the horizontal plane passing through the axis containing the second centers of curvature .

L'entraxe de deux godets superposés est sensiblement égal au double du rayon de la seconde partie de la paroi de fond d'un godet.The distance between two superposed buckets is substantially equal to twice the radius of the second part of the bottom wall of a bucket.

L'extrémité libre de ladite troisième partie peut être munie d'une tige de préhension ou d'un rebord de préhension recourbé vers l'extérieur.The free end of said third part may be provided with a gripping rod or with a gripping edge curved outward.

La paroi interne du fond des godets est rigide et lisse.The inner wall of the bottom of the cups is rigid and smooth.

Des moyens d'encliquetage sont réalisés dans la paroi interne au fond des godets au voisinage de plans verticaux pour recevoir des cloisons amovibles verticales parallèles aux faces latérales d'extrémité des godets.Snap-fastening means are produced in the internal wall at the bottom of the buckets in the vicinity of vertical planes to receive removable vertical partitions parallel to the lateral end faces of the buckets.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de blocage d'un godet comprennent au moins un bossage formé sur une tringle solidaire d'une oreille elle-même solidaire de la partie arrière de la paroi de fond du godet et au moins deux bossages espacés l'un de l'autre sur une pièce solidaire du bâti et disposés le long de la course du bossage de la tringle lorsque le godet passe de sa position fermée à sa position ouverte.According to an advantageous embodiment, the means for blocking a bucket comprise at least one boss formed on a rod secured to an ear which is itself secured to the rear part of the bottom wall of the bucket and at least two spaced bosses one from the other on a part integral with the frame and arranged along the stroke of the boss of the rod when the bucket moves from its closed position to its open position.

Les différents godets alignés et superposés peuvent être solidaires d'une même tringle provoquant une ouverture et une fermeture simultanées de l'ensemble des godets.The different aligned and superimposed buckets can be integral with the same rod causing simultaneous opening and closing of all the buckets.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, un coffret de rangement 100 selon l'invention comprend un bâti 110 avec un panneau arrière 111, des panneaux latéraux 112.113, un fond 117, un panneau supérieur de couverture 116 et des piètements 114, 115. Le bâti 110 définit un meuble ou coffret vertical pouvant être adapté pour être posé au sol ou sur un meuble, suspendu à un mur, ou transporté facilement s'il est muni d'une poignée et/ou de roulettes.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, a storage box 100 according to the invention comprises a frame 110 with a rear panel 111, side panels 112.113, a bottom 117, an upper cover panel 116 and legs 114 , 115. The frame 110 defines a piece of furniture or vertical box which can be adapted to be placed on the ground or on a piece of furniture, suspended from a wall, or easily transported if it is provided with a handle and / or casters.

Des rangées de compartiments superposés 10, 20, 30, 40 montés dans le bâti 110 définissent les espaces de rangement du coffret 100. Comme cela est visible sur les figures 1 et 2, les compartiments de rangement 10, 20, 30, 40 sont constitués par des réceptacles en forme de godets pouvant pivoter autour d'axes horizontaux montés dans un plan vertical sur les faces latérales 112,113 du bâti 110, afin de passer d'une position fermée de stockage (figure 1) à une position ouverte de présentation des objets disposés dans les réceptacles 10, 20, 30, 40 (figure 2).Rows of superimposed compartments 10, 20, 30, 40 mounted in the frame 110 define the storage spaces of the box 100. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage compartments 10, 20, 30, 40 are made up by receptacles in the form of buckets which can pivot around horizontal axes mounted in a vertical plane on the lateral faces 112, 113 of the frame 110, in order to pass from a closed storage position (FIG. 1) to an open position for presenting the objects arranged in the receptacles 10, 20, 30, 40 (Figure 2).

Chaque godet, qui comprend un fond 210 constitué par une portion de cylindre droit dont l'axe est constitué par l'axe de pivotement, et deux parois latérales d'extrémité 240, 250, peut en outre être divisé en plusieurs compartiments par des cloisons verticales 260 parallèles aux parois latérales d'extrémité 240, 250. Ainsi, sur la figure 2, on voit les godets 20 et 30 divisés chacun en deux compartiments 21, 22, respectivement 31, 32 par une cloison 260, tandis que le godet 40 est lui-même divisé en trois compartiments 41, 42, 43 par deux cloisons intermédiaires. Plusieurs godets indépendants pourraient également être montés dans chacune des rangées superposées, les axes des godets d'une même rangée étant alignés.Each bucket, which comprises a bottom 210 constituted by a straight cylinder portion, the axis of which is constituted by the pivot axis, and two end side walls 240, 250, can also be divided into several compartments by partitions. vertical 260 parallel to the end side walls 240, 250. Thus, in FIG. 2, we see the buckets 20 and 30 each divided into two compartments 21, 22, respectively 31, 32 by a partition 260, while the bucket 40 is itself divided into three compartments 41, 42, 43 by two intermediate partitions. Several independent buckets could also be mounted in each of the superimposed rows, the axes of the buckets of the same row being aligned.

On décrira maintenant de façon plus détaillée la structure d'un godet, en référence aux figures 3, 5 et 8. La structure générale de chacun des godets superposés 10. 20, 30, 40 étant la même, seule sera décrite la structure du godet 10. La position fermée du godet 10 est représentée sur ces figures en traits pleins tandis que la position ouverte 10a du godet 10 est figurée en traits discontinus.The structure of a bucket will now be described in more detail, with reference to FIGS. 3, 5 and 8. The general structure of each of the superimposed buckets 10. 20, 30, 40 being the same, only the structure of the bucket will be described 10. The closed position of the bucket 10 is shown in these figures in solid lines while the open position 10a of the bucket 10 is shown in broken lines.

Le fond 210 d'un réceptacle pivotant 10 en forme de godet constitue une portion de cylindre avec, à partir du rebord arrière 219. une première partie 211 qui s'étend sur un arc d'ouverture angulaire comprise entre environ 50° et 70°, la distance des divers points de la première partie 211 à l'axe 1 du godet 10 étant croissante à partir de l'extrémité libre 219. La partie terminale voisine de l'extrémité libre 219 peut d'ailleurs être sensiblement rectiligne. Le fond 210 présente à la suite de la première partie 211 de rayon croissant une seconde partie principale circulaire 212 centrée sur l'axe 1 et de rayon R sensiblement constant. Enfin, le fond 210 d'un godet présente à la suite de la partie principale 212 une troisième partie 213 sensiblement rectiligne qui se raccorde à peu près tangentiellement à la partie principale 212. La troisième partie 213 se raccorde à la partie principale 212 sensiblement dans un plan axial horizontal lorsque le godet 10 est en position fermée. La troisième partie 213 sensiblement rectiligne est avantageusement un peu inclinée vers l'intérieur du godet, d'un angle α compris entre environ 4 à 8° par rapport à la verticale, lorsque le godet 10 est en position fermée. La partie principale 212 du fond 210 s'étend de préférence sur un arc de cercle 13 compris entre environ 140° à 160°. L'extrémité arrière 219 du fond 210 est de préférence située à une distance de l'axe du godet, qui constitue de 70 à 80 % du rayon R de la partie principale 212, et, en position fermée du godet, le plan axial passant par l'extrémité 219 fait de préférence un angle compris entre 15 et 30° par rapport à l'horizontale. La longueur de la troisième partie 213 est elle-même de préférence comprise entre environ 1,3 et 1,4 fois la longueur du rayon R de la partie principale circulaire 212.The bottom 210 of a pivoting receptacle 10 in the form of a cup constitutes a portion of cylinder with, from the rear edge 219. a first part 211 which extends over an arc of angular opening of between approximately 50 ° and 70 °, the distance from the various points of the first part 211 to the axis 1 of the bucket 10 being increasing from the free end 219. The terminal part adjacent to the free end 219 can moreover be substantially rectilinear. The bottom 210 has, following the first part 211 of increasing radius, a second circular main part 212 centered on the axis 1 and of radius R substantially constant. Finally, the bottom 210 of a bucket has, following the main part 212, a third substantially straight part 213 which is connected approximately tangentially to the main part 212. The third part 213 is connected to the main part 212 substantially in a horizontal axial plane when the bucket 10 is in the closed position. The third portion 213 which is substantially rectilinear is advantageously slightly inclined towards the inside of the bucket, by an angle α of between approximately 4 to 8 ° relative to the vertical, when the bucket 10 is in the closed position. The main part 212 of the bottom 210 preferably extends over an arc 13 ranging from about 140 ° to 160 °. The rear end 219 of the bottom 210 is preferably located at a distance from the axis of the bucket, which constitutes from 70 to 80% of the radius R of the main part 212, and, in the closed position of the bucket, the passing axial plane by the end 219 preferably makes an angle between 15 and 30 ° relative to the horizontal. The length of the third part 213 is itself preferably between approximately 1.3 and 1.4 times the length of the radius R of the circular main part 212.

Avec la configuration décrite ci-dessus, les différentes rangées de godets 10, 20, 30, 40 peuvent être superposées de façon très compacte, avec des entraxes dont la longueur est de l'ordre de grandeur du double du rayon R des parties principales circulaires 212 des parois de fond des godets 10, 20, 30, 40. La réduction du rayon des premières parties 211 permet en effet de tenir compte de l'épaisseur des parois de fond 210 et de ne pas limiter le basculement vers l'avant lorsque les godets sont ouverts.With the configuration described above, the different rows of buckets 10, 20, 30, 40 can be superimposed in a very compact manner, with spacings whose length is of the order of magnitude twice the radius R of the main circular parts 212 of the bottom walls of the buckets 10, 20, 30, 40. The reduction in the radius of the first parts 211 in fact makes it possible to take into account the thickness of the bottom walls 210 and not to limit the tilting forward when the buckets are open.

Lors de l'ouverture, les godets 10, 20, 30 basculent vers l'avant en pivotant autour des axes 1, 2, 3 d'un angle compris entre environ 50 et 70° pour venir dans la position 10a, 20a, 30a représentée en pointillés sur la figure 3. Dans la position d'ouverture, l'extrémité 219a de la première partie 211 de la paroi de fond 210 est pratiquement située dans un plan axial vertical, tandis que la troisième partie 213 reste inclinée vers le haut d'un angle compris entre environ 25 et 45°, ce qui empêche les objets placés dans le godet 10 de s'échapper.When opening, the buckets 10, 20, 30 tilt forward by pivoting around the axes 1, 2, 3 at an angle between about 50 and 70 ° to come into the position 10a, 20a, 30a shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3. In the open position, the end 219a of the first part 211 of the bottom wall 210 is practically situated in a vertical axial plane, while the third part 213 remains inclined upwards d 'an angle between about 25 and 45 °, which prevents objects placed in the bucket 10 to escape.

Les parois latérales d'extrémité 240, 250, de même que les cloisons éventuelles 260 des godets 10, 20. 30, 40 se terminent avantageusement par une arête supérieure 230 qui, dans la position de fermeture des godets, présente une première partie rectiligne horizontale 231 s'étendant de l'extrémité libre arrière 219 de la paroi de fond 210 jusqu'au voisinage du plan axial vertical du godet, et une seconde partie incurvée 232 qui peut être concave ou convexe, et relie la partie rectiligne 231 à l'extrémité libre avant de la paroi de fond 210. Cette configuration assure à la fois un bon coefficient de remplissage des godets et une facilité de préhension des objets en position ouverte des godets.The end side walls 240, 250, as well as the possible partitions 260 of the buckets 10, 20. 30, 40 advantageously end in an upper edge 230 which, in the closed position of the buckets, has a first horizontal rectilinear part 231 extending from the rear free end 219 of the bottom wall 210 to the vicinity of the vertical axial plane of the bucket, and a second curved part 232 which may be concave or convex, and connects the straight part 231 to the front free end of the bottom wall 210. This configuration ensures both a good filling coefficient of the buckets and an easy grip of the objects in the open position of the buckets.

L'extrémité libre 214 de la partie avant 213 de la paroi de fond 210 peut être légèrement recourbée vers l'extérieur et être éventuellement munie au moins sur une partie de sa longueur, d'une tige raidisseuse facilitant la préhension pour l'ouverture ou la fermeture du godet, La face externe de la paroi de fond 210 peut présenter une saillie 222 qui permet un encastrement de l'extrémité libre avant 214 de la paroi de fond 210 du godet inférieur dans la position de fermeture des godets. La face externe de la paroi de fond 210 peut présenter une saillie 222 qui permet un encastrement de l'extrémité libre avant 214 de la paroi de fond 210 du godet inférieur dans la position de fermeture des godets.The free end 214 of the front part 213 of the bottom wall 210 may be slightly curved outwards and may be provided, at least over part of its length, with a stiffening rod facilitating gripping for opening or closing the bucket, The external face of the bottom wall 210 may have a projection 222 which allows the free front end 214 of the bottom wall 210 of the lower bucket to be embedded in the closed bucket position. The external face of the bottom wall 210 may have a projection 222 which allows the front free end 214 of the bottom wall 210 of the lower bucket to be embedded in the closed bucket position.

A divers emplacements répartis dans le fond des godets, des moyens d'encliquetage tels que des nervures 216, 217 ou des pions 218 peuvent être prévus pour permettre la fixation de cloisons amovibles 260 dans des plans verticaux parallèles aux parois d'extrémités 240, 250 (figures 5 et 8). D'une façon générale, la surface interne de la paroi de fond 210 d'un même compartiment de godet est de préférence lisse et rigide. Ajouté au fait que le centre de gravité des godets change peu de position lors de l'ouverture des godets et ne provoque pas de porte à faux, ceci contribue à empêcher un basculement des objets à l'intérieur des godets lors des changements de position de ceux-ci.At various locations distributed in the bottom of the buckets, latching means such as ribs 216, 217 or pins 218 can be provided to allow the fixing of removable partitions 260 in vertical planes parallel to the end walls 240, 250 (Figures 5 and 8). In general, the internal surface of the bottom wall 210 of the same bucket compartment is preferably smooth and rigid. Added to the fact that the center of gravity of the buckets changes little position when opening the buckets and does not cause an overhang, this contributes to prevent tipping of objects inside the buckets when the position changes. these.

A la partie arrière de chaque godet, une oreille 220 est fixée sur la face externe de la paroi de fond 210 au voisinage de la zone de raccordement entre la première partie 211 et la partie principale 212 de la paroi de fond 210. Comme on peut le voir plus en détail sur ies figures 3.9.10 et 11, des parties en saillie 321 d'une tringle verticale 320 sont engagées dans des orifices 221 des oreilles 220 solidaires des godets 10, 20, 30. Ceci contribue à assurer un mouvement de basculement simultané des godets 10, 20, 30. Ainsi, la manoeuvre de l'extrémité 214 d'un seul godet, par exemple du godet supérieur 10, dont l'extrémité libre avant 214 de la paroi de fond est munie de moyens de rigidification, suffit pour provoquer instantanément l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'ensemble des godets 10, 20, 30.At the rear part of each bucket, an ear 220 is fixed to the external face of the bottom wall 210 in the vicinity of the connection zone between the first part 211 and the main part 212 of the bottom wall 210. As can be see it in more detail in FIGS. 3.9.10 and 11, projecting parts 321 of a vertical rod 320 are engaged in orifices 221 of the ears 220 secured to the cups 10, 20, 30. This contributes to ensuring a movement of simultaneous tilting of the buckets 10, 20, 30. Thus, the operation of the end 214 of a single bucket, for example of the upper bucket 10, the free front end 214 of the bottom wall is provided with stiffening means , is sufficient to instantly cause the opening or closing of all of the buckets 10, 20, 30.

La tringle 320 est munie de moyens de blocage qui permettent de maintenir les godets 10, 20, 30 en position ouverte ou fermée. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, des bossages 131, 132 sont formés sur une pièce verticale solidaire du bâti 110, par exemple au voisinage d'un côté latéral 112, 113 et/ou du fond 111 du bâti 110. Un bossage 322 est également formé sur une face de tringle 320 susceptible de venir porter sur les bossages 131 ou 132 lors de la course de la tringle 320 entre sa position haute d'ouverture des godets 10a, 20a, 30a et sa position basse de fermeture des godets 10, 20,30. La tringle 320 est montée avec un certain jeu par rapport au bâti 110, à la fois par rapport à la paroi de fond 111 du bâti 110 parallèle au plan vertical contenant les axes de rotation 1, 2,3 des godets 10, 20, 30 et par rapport à la partie 113 de bâti portant les bossages fixes 131, 132.The rod 320 is provided with locking means which make it possible to maintain the buckets 10, 20, 30 in the open or closed position. According to a particular embodiment, bosses 131, 132 are formed on a vertical piece integral with the frame 110, for example in the vicinity of a lateral side 112, 113 and / or of the bottom 111 of the frame 110. A boss 322 is also formed on a rod face 320 capable of coming to bear on the bosses 131 or 132 during the travel of the rod 320 between its high position of opening of the buckets 10a, 20a, 30a and its low position of closing of the buckets 10, 20.30. The rod 320 is mounted with a certain clearance relative to the frame 110, both relative to the bottom wall 111 of the frame 110 parallel to the vertical plane containing the axes of rotation 1, 2.3 of the buckets 10, 20, 30 and relative to the frame part 113 carrying the fixed bosses 131, 132.

Dans la position ouverte des godets 10a, 20a, 30a, le bossage 322 de la tringle mobile 320 est situé au-dessus du bossage supérieur fixe 131 qui constitue une retenue. Pour passer à une position de fermeture, la tringle 320 doit être poussée vers le bas de telle manière que le bossage 322 passe sur le bossage supérieur fixe 131 puis sur le bossage inférieur fixe 132 qui constituent deux points durs lors de la manoeuvre des godets. En position inférieure de la tringle 320 (en pointillés sur la figure 11) correspondant à la fermeture des godets 10. 20, 30, le bossage 322 est retenu par le bossage inférieur fixe 132. Ainsi, les bossages 131, 132 constituent des moyens de blocage des godets en position ouverte ou fermée. Toutefois, il est possible d'agir facilement à l'encontre des moyens de blocage par une simple accentuation de l'effort exercé manuellement par l'utilisateur sur les godets, ce qui garantit une commodité de manipulation.In the open position of the buckets 10a, 20a, 30a, the boss 322 of the movable rod 320 is located above the fixed upper boss 131 which constitutes a retainer. To move to a closed position, the rod 320 must be pushed down so that the boss 322 passes over the fixed upper boss 131 then over the fixed lower boss 132 which constitute two hard points when maneuvering the buckets. In the lower position of the rod 320 (in dotted lines in FIG. 11) corresponding to the closing of the buckets 10. 20, 30, the boss 322 is retained by the fixed lower boss 132. Thus, the bosses 131, 132 constitute means of blocking of buckets in open or closed position. However, it is possible to act easily against the locking means by a simple accentuation of the force exerted manually by the user on the buckets, which guarantees ease of handling.

Deux tringles 320 reliées à des oreilles 220 des godets 10, 20, 30, et présentant des moyens de blocage 322 peuvent être disposés à l'arrière du coffret 1 au voisinage des faces latérales 112, 113 du bâti (figure 8). Il est naturellement possible d'utiliser un nombre de tringles 320 différent. De même le nombre de moyens de blocage 322, 131, 132 peut être différent du nombre de godets 10, 20, 30. Dans le cas où l'ouverture et la fermeture de chaque godet 10, 20, 30 doivent pouvoir s'effectuer indépendamment de la manœuvre des autres godets, il est cependant nécessaire d'associer à chaque godet des moyens de blocage propres.Two rods 320 connected to ears 220 of buckets 10, 20, 30, and having locking means 322 can be arranged at the rear of the box 1 in the vicinity of the lateral faces 112, 113 of the frame (FIG. 8). It is of course possible to use a different number of rods 320. Similarly, the number of blocking means 322, 131, 132 may be different from the number of buckets 10, 20, 30. In the case where the opening and closing of each bucket 10, 20, 30 must be able to be carried out independently when maneuvering the other buckets, it is however necessary to associate with each bucket its own locking means.

La structure du bâti 110 du coffret de rangement selon l'invention peut présenter diverses formes. Sur la figure 4, on voit que les axes de pivotement 1, 2, 3 des godets 10, 20, 30 sont montés dans des paliers supportés par un réseau de tiges 120 définissant des parties en retrait 118 et des parties saillantes 119, les parties saillantes 119 se trouvant situées au niveau des parties d'extrémité avant 214 des fonds de godets.The structure of the frame 110 of the storage box according to the invention can have various forms. In FIG. 4, it can be seen that the pivot axes 1, 2, 3 of the buckets 10, 20, 30 are mounted in bearings supported by a network of rods 120 defining recessed parts 118 and projecting parts 119, the parts protruding 119 being located at the front end portions 214 of the bucket bottoms.

Une barre d'appui fixe 270 peut être fixée sur la paroi supérieure 116 du bâti 110 pour faciliter l'ouverture des godets à l'aide d'une barre rigide 215 solidaire de l'extrémité libre 214 du fond 210 du godet supérieur 10. Le coffret peut être équipé par exemple d'une poignée 150 escamotable et amovible (figures 4 et 7). Un piètement réglable 141, 143 peut également être monté à la base du coffret 100 à l'aide de charnières 121 solidaires des faces latérales 112, 113 du bâti. Le pied 141 peut être placé en position de travail et reposer sur un support par sa face inférieure 143 ou être escamoté et rabattu dans le socle du coffret lorsque par exemple le coffret est suspendu à un mur (position en traits discontinus sur la figure 6).A fixed support bar 270 can be fixed on the upper wall 116 of the frame 110 to facilitate the opening of the buckets using a rigid bar 215 secured to the free end 214 of the bottom 210 of the upper bucket 10. The box can be equipped for example with a retractable and removable handle 150 (FIGS. 4 and 7). An adjustable base 141, 143 can also be mounted at the base of the box 100 using hinges 121 secured to the side faces 112, 113 of the frame. The foot 141 can be placed in the working position and rest on a support by its underside 143 or be retracted and folded back into the base of the cabinet when for example the cabinet is suspended from a wall (position in broken lines in FIG. 6) .

Le nombre de rangées de godets pouvant être superposées n'est pas limité. Ainsi, sur les figures 1 et 2 on a représenté quatre rangées de godets tandis que les figures 3 et 4 ne montrent que trois rangées de godets. Un nombre supérieur de rangées est possible. De même, les dimensions des godets 10, 20, 30 peuvent varier en fonction des applications envisagées. Pour un coffret de rangement de visserie par exemple, les godets seront de dimensions plus réduites que pour un coffret de rangement d'outils ou de fournitures de bureau par exemple. Par ailleurs, le coffret de rangement selon l'invention se prête à une réalisation sous forme modulaire, à partir d'un ensemble de godets de dimensions données. Des rangées superposées de godets de rangement peuvent également être disposées dos à dos ou selon les faces d'un parallélépipède. Dans ce cas, chaque godet pivotant peut être équipé de moyens individuels de blocage en position, ou si l'on préfère, on peut provoquer l'ouverture et la fermeture simultanées de l'ensemble des godets de rangement comme dans le cas de godets superposés dans un seul plan, grâce à une tringlerie solidarisant tous les godets. Les différents panneaux de godets peuvent également conserver des tringleries indépendantes, de sorte que tous les godets d'une face sont ouverts ou fermés simultanément sans action sur les godets constituant les autres faces de l'ensemble de rangement.There is no limit to the number of rows of buckets that can be stacked. Thus, in Figures 1 and 2 there are shown four rows of buckets while Figures 3 and 4 show only three rows of buckets. A higher number of rows is possible. Similarly, the dimensions of the buckets 10, 20, 30 may vary depending on the applications envisaged. For a bolts storage case for example, the buckets will be of smaller dimensions than for a tool or office supplies storage case for example. Furthermore, the storage box according to the invention lends itself to being produced in modular form, from a set of buckets of given dimensions. Superimposed rows of storage cups can also be arranged back to back or along the faces of a parallelepiped. In this case, each pivoting bucket can be equipped with individual means for locking in position, or if preferred, it is possible to cause the simultaneous opening and closing of all the storage buckets as in the case of stacked buckets in a single plane, thanks to a linkage joining all the buckets. The various bucket panels can also retain independent linkages, so that all the buckets on one side are opened or closed simultaneously without acting on the buckets constituting the other sides of the storage assembly.

La forme des godets, qui, vue en coupe perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement, ressemble à une spirale, peut présenter diverses modifications. Ainsi, la paroi de fond 210 pourrait être constituée par une ligne polygonale ou brisée suivant sensiblement en moyenne la ligne continue représentée sur la figure 5. Toutefois, comme on l'a déjà indiqué, il est avantageux que la surface intérieure de la paroi de fond 210 soit lisse et sans discontinuité dans le sens perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement 1, car cela évite un bouleversement ou un mélange des objets placés dans les godets lors des mouvements d'ouverture ou fermeture des godets. Si la paroi de fond 210 a été divisée en trois parties pour les commodités de la description, en pratique, il n'existe pas de discontinuité entre les trois zones successives décrites et chaque godet peut présenter un contour ayant une évolution progressive.The shape of the buckets, which, seen in section perpendicular to the pivot axis, resembles a spiral, can have various modifications. Thus, the bottom wall 210 could be formed by a polygonal or broken line substantially along the continuous line shown in Figure 5. However, as already indicated, it is advantageous that the inner surface of the wall bottom 210 is smooth and without discontinuity in the direction perpendicular to the pivot axis 1, as this avoids overturning or mixing of the objects placed in the buckets during the opening or closing movements of the buckets. If the bottom wall 210 has been divided into three parts for the convenience of the description, in practice, there is no discontinuity between the three successive zones described and each bucket can have a contour having a progressive evolution.

Les godets peuvent être avantageusement réalisés par exemple en matière plastique, mais se prêtent à une fabrication à partir de tout autre matériau présentant une rigidité suffisante.The buckets can advantageously be made, for example, of plastics material, but lend themselves to manufacture from any other material having sufficient rigidity.

On a représenté sur la figure 12 un mode préférentiel de réalisation de godet qui définit en position fermée des godets, un espace de rangement totalement clos tout en permettant une excellente accessibilité aux objets contenus dans les godets, en position ouverte de ces derniers. ainsi qu'une bonne visibilité, du fait de l'existence d'une partie terminale rectiligne 213 non galbée.FIG. 12 shows a preferred embodiment of a bucket which defines, in the closed position of the buckets, a completely closed storage space while allowing excellent accessibility to the objects contained in the buckets, in the open position of the latter. as well as good visibility, due to the existence of a rectilinear terminal portion 213 which is not curved.

La fermeture totale des godets en position relevée de ceux-ci est assurée par des cloisons mobiles supplémentaires 280 solidaires des parois de fond des godets et s'étendant vers l'extérieur sensiblement perpendiculairement aux parois de fond. Chaque cloison mobile supplémentaire 280 se trouve dans un plan horizontal en position ouverte des godets et, en position fermée des godets, assure une continuité avec la paroi de fond 210 du godet adjacent inférieur. Les cloisons mobiles supplémentaires 280 peuvent être légèrement recourbées vers le haut à leur partie arrière 281 qui coopère avec l'extrémité libre arrière 219 de la paroi de fond 210 du godet adjacent inférieur. En position fermée des godets, chaque godet est ainsi entièrement clos et les objets ne peuvent pas s'échapper. En position ouverte des godets, l'arrière d'un godet reste également clos grâce à la coopération entre l'extrémité libre 219 de la paroi de fond du godet et la saillie 222 du godet adjacent supérieur.Total closure of the buckets in position relieved of these is provided by additional movable partitions 280 integral with the bottom walls of the buckets and extending outward substantially perpendicular to the bottom walls. Each additional movable partition 280 is in a horizontal plane in the open position of the buckets and, in the closed position of the buckets, ensures continuity with the bottom wall 210 of the adjacent lower bucket. The additional movable partitions 280 may be slightly bent upwards at their rear part 281 which cooperates with the rear free end 219 of the bottom wall 210 of the lower adjacent bucket. In the closed position of the buckets, each bucket is thus completely closed and objects cannot escape. In the open position of the buckets, the rear of a bucket also remains closed thanks to the cooperation between the free end 219 of the bottom wall of the bucket and the projection 222 of the upper adjacent bucket.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 12 montre en outre un godet dont le centre de courbure w et le centre de gravité sont légèrement déportés vers l'avant par rapport à l'axe de pivotement Ω, ce qui facilite l'ouverture des godets pleins. De façon plus précise, ladite première partie arrière (211) comprend, à partir de l'extrémité libre (219) de la paroi de fond une première portion sensiblement rectiligne de faible longueur (211a) et une seconde portion courbe (211b) présentant un rayon R'1 sensiblement constant par rapport à un second centre de courbure w' situé au-dessus du centre de pivotement il du godet dans un plan axial vertical, le rayon R'1 de la seconde partie courbe (211b) est légèrement inférieur au rayon R2 de la seconde partie principale (212) et le centre de courbure ω est situé à mi-hauteur entre le second centre de courbure o et le centre de pivotement Ω, et légèrement en avant de ces derniers.The embodiment of Figure 12 further shows a bucket whose center of curvature w and the center of gravity are slightly offset forward relative to the pivot axis Ω, which facilitates the opening of the full buckets . More precisely, said first rear part (211) comprises, from the free end (219) of the bottom wall, a first substantially straight portion of short length (211a) and a second curved portion (211b) having a radius R'1 substantially constant with respect to a second center of curvature w 'situated above the pivot center il of the bucket in a vertical axial plane, the radius R'1 of the second curved part (211b) is slightly less than the radius R2 of the second main part (212) and the center of curvature ω is located halfway between the second center of curvature o and the pivot center Ω, and slightly in front of the latter.

Avec une telle configuration, il suffit de réaliser un blocage des godets dans leur position fermée tandis que ceux-ci peuvent venir spontanément se placer en position ouverte dès le déverrouillage du blocage en position fermée.With such a configuration, it suffices to block the buckets in their closed position while the latter can spontaneously come to be placed in the open position as soon as the blocking is unlocked in the closed position.

On notera par ailleurs que le bâti présente à sa partie supérieure un décrochement 180 sensiblement parallèle aux languettes 280 placées dans la position de fermeture des godets et destiné à coopérer avec la paroi de fond du godet supérieur afin d'assurer la fermeture totale de ce godet lorsqu'il est en position relevée de fermeture.Note also that the frame has at its upper part a recess 180 substantially parallel to the tabs 280 placed in the closed position of the buckets and intended to cooperate with the bottom wall of the upper bucket in order to ensure the complete closure of this bucket when in the raised closed position.

Sur la figure 12, les godets sont représentés en traits pleins en position d'ouverture basculée vers l'avant et en traits discontinus en position relevée de fermeture.In Figure 12, the buckets are shown in solid lines in the open position tilted forward and in broken lines in the raised closed position.
