Definitions
- Such devices are effective, but require, for their use, a large area, and whether or not they are wearing shoes.
- the volume of the box frame is, in fact, immutable and, if this frame has shoe support tubes on its two sides, empty spaces must be provided on either side of the device to allow access to all shoes.
- the invention aims to remedy this drawback. It relates to an installation consisting of an enclosure under the upper face of which are fixed a plurality of slides which each serve to support and translate a plurality of rods or hangers supporting the shoes and present, from the face rear of the enclosure, a first zone in which they are rectilinear and have a spacing allowing the storage of the shoes, then a second zone in which they go by converging towards each other.
- the enclosure thus delimits two zones: a first zone in which the lines of a slide are spaced from those of the neighboring slide (s) to allow the storage of the shoes, with a view to their drying, and a second zone intended for storage lines which are stripped of shoes and can therefore be brought together. Thanks to the converging direction of the slides in this second zone and thanks to their distribution by groups, the stripped lines of shoes are thus gathered at the entrance of the installation, forming groups which are separated from each other, this which facilitates access to the shoes worn by the lines located in the rear area.
- Heating means can be provided in the first zone in order to speed up the drying of the shoes.
- a retractable partition is then interposed between the two zones. This separation is constituted, for example, by a slatted curtain.
- each hanger consists of a rod or a tube comprising, over its entire height, holes used for hanging, at adjustable height, of individual supports for shoes, constituted by a metal wire folded into a pin, to form two branches, one of which is constantly in abutment against the hanger and the other of which, tending to fold elastically against the first, receives the shoe and keeps it pressed against the hanger.
- each hanger is constituted by a tube to which is connected, by a joint, an oblique tube receiving the shoe, and the hanger tube is supplied with hot air by a sheath which is located on the underside, or floor, of the installation, below the rectilinear zone of each slide, and is connected to the source of hot air.
- Means are also provided to allow the hanger tube to be in communication with the lower duct of hot air only when the hanger occupies a position of use to determine a drying position.
- the hanger is, for this purpose, freely articulated around a transverse horizontal axis on a carriage supporting it in one of the upper slides of the installation, and it carries at its lower end a shoe articulated by which it freely rests on the lower sheath of hot air which has openings with which communicates the hanger tube when it is brought into a position to determine the drying of the shoes, each of these openings being equipped with a valve closing automatically when, by moving the hanger, the communication between the hanger tube and the sheath ceases.
- the installation which is the subject of the invention comprises a plurality of hangers for hanging the shoes in the inverted position.
- One of these lines is shown in Figure 1. It consists of a vertical rod (1) which, at its upper end, is suspended by a carriage (2) in a horizontal slide (3), fixed under the face lower (4) of the installation; and by its lower end, the hanger (l) is placed inside a slide (5) fixed on the face lower (6) of the installation, below the upper slide (3). The lower end of the hanger can move freely in this lower slide (5).
- this hanger (1) has a plurality of holes (7) intended for fixing the members constituting the individual supports of the shoes.
- each of these members is constituted by a steel wire folded over on itself like a pin, to form two branches, respectively (8) and (9). Thanks to the elasticity obtained by folding the wire, the two branches (8) and (9) tend to approach one against the other, and thanks to their fixing on a support passing through one or the other of the orifices (7), the two branches (8) and (9) tend to be applied elastically against the hanger (1). While, however, the branch (8) is constantly in abutment against the hanger (I), the branch (9) can be moved away from it elastically to receive a shoe (10).
- the spacing of the slides (3) is such that when the lines are lined with shoes, there are practically no free spaces between the shoes worn by the sus slopes of a slide and the shoes worn by the lines of the neighboring slide.
- the slides (3) extend over the entire depth of the two zones (12) and (13); but while they are mutually parallel in the zone (12), the slides (3) converge in groups towards one another in the zone (13).
- the number of groups is three.
- the group on the left there are four slides (3); in the middle group, end six slides (3); and in the right group, end three slides (3).
- the user accesses the hanger located in front, in the slide corresponding to the shoe size chosen; he takes the pair of shoes; and after this removal, it pulls the hanger forward until it reaches the end of the slide in the area (13) or until it comes to bear against another hanger already stripped of his shoes.
- a hanger When a hanger is stripped of shoes, it is therefore stored in the zone (13), in one or other of the three groups mentioned above; and the empty lines as well stored occupy only a small lateral space since they are stripped of shoes and the supports (9) of the shoes are folded against the hangers themselves; and due to the converging direction of the slides (3) in the zone (13), the stripped lines of shoes can thus come closer to one another, ultimately giving rise to a very small lateral bulk. It is therefore possible to easily access the rear area (12) in which the shoes are stored.
- drying means are provided; and this is how a stream of advantageously ozonized hot air can be sent into the zone (12).
- a louvered curtain (14) is advantageously provided between the zones (12) and (13) of the installation.
- each of the lines of the installation consists of a tube (15) to which are connected tubular end pieces (16) intended to serve each for supporting a shoe (17).
- a joint is provided between the tube (15) of the hanger and the tubular endpiece (16) in order to allow this endpiece to be folded against the hanger (15) when it is stripped of shoes.
- the hanger tube (15) is mounted, as in the previous case, by means of a carriage, in an upper horizontal slide.
- the hanger tube (15) receives a shoe (18) which is articulated to it in (19).
- This shoe surrounds the tube (15) and is intended to rest freely, by a seal (20), on the upper face of a sheath (21) in which a stream of advantageously ozonated hot air circulates.
- holes (22) are provided, the number of which is equal to that of the lines to be placed in the storage area (12).
- This flap (23) is intended to automatically close, by means of a spring, the opening (22) when the hanger (15), after having been stripped of shoes, passes from the drying zone (12) to the storage zone empty (13).
- hanger (15) it is therefore sufficient for the hanger (15) to be passed manually from the zone (12) to that (13) or vice-versa, for it to cease or for its air supply to be triggered by a channel (21).
- the installation may have a general shape other than that previously described with reference to FIG. 2.
- an installation in accordance with the invention makes it possible, in all cases, to dry the shoes in the best conditions of efficiency, while allowing, on the one hand, storage shoes in a space of limited volume, and while allowing, on the other hand, easy access to shoes.

Abstract
Description
Il est des cas dans lesquels il importe d'accélérer le séchage des chaussures. Il en est ainsi notamment, par exemple, pour les chaussures de ski, plus particulièrement pour celles utilisées en location. Pour cette application particulière, il existe un type d'appareil conforme au brevet français N° 2.406.790 dans lequel les chaussures sont chacune portées par un tube incliné de bas en haut sur lequel la chaussure est engagée, tige en bas, et au travers duquel peut être amené un courant d'air chaud accélérant le séchage, l'ensemble des tubes de l'appareil étant porté par un seul et même caisson servant de bâti.There are cases in which it is important to speed up the drying of shoes. This is particularly so, for example, for ski boots, more particularly for those used for rental. For this particular application, there is a type of device in accordance with French patent No. 2,406,790 in which the shoes are each carried by an inclined tube from bottom to top on which the shoe is engaged, rod down, and through which can be brought in a stream of hot air accelerating drying, all the tubes of the device being carried by a single box serving as a frame.
De tels appareils sont efficaces, mais nécessitent, pour leur utilisation, un emplacement de grande surface, et ce qu'ils soient ou non garnis de chaussures. Le volume du bâti-caisson est, en effet, immuable et, si ce bâti comporte des tubes-supports de chaussures sur ses deux faces, des espaces vides doivent être prévus de part et d'autre de l'appareil pour permettre l'accès à toutes les chaussures.Such devices are effective, but require, for their use, a large area, and whether or not they are wearing shoes. The volume of the box frame is, in fact, immutable and, if this frame has shoe support tubes on its two sides, empty spaces must be provided on either side of the device to allow access to all shoes.
L'invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient. Elle a pour objet une installation constituée par une enceinte sous la face supérieure de laquelle sont fixées une pluralité de glissières qui servent chacune au support et à la translation d'une pluralité de tringles ou suspentes supportant les chaussures et présentent, à partir de la face arrière de l'enceinte, une première zone dans laquelle elles sont rectilignes et ont un écartement permettant le stockage des chaussures, puis une deuxième zone dans laquelle elles vont en convergeant les unes vers les autres.The invention aims to remedy this drawback. It relates to an installation consisting of an enclosure under the upper face of which are fixed a plurality of slides which each serve to support and translate a plurality of rods or hangers supporting the shoes and present, from the face rear of the enclosure, a first zone in which they are rectilinear and have a spacing allowing the storage of the shoes, then a second zone in which they go by converging towards each other.
L'enceinte délimite ainsi deux zones : une première zone dans laquelle les suspentes d'une glissière sont écartées de celles de la ou des deux glissières voisines pour permettre le stockage des chaussures, en vue de leur séchage, et une deuxième zone destinée au stockage des suspentes qui sont dégarnies de chaussures et peuvent donc être rapprochées les unes des autres. Grâce à la direction convergente des glissières dans cette deuxième zone et grâce à leur répartition par groupes, les suspentes dégarnies de chaussures se trouvent ainsi rassemblées à l'entrée de l'installation, en formant des groupes qui sont écartés les uns des autres, ce qui facilite l'accès aux chaussures portées par les suspentes situées dans la zone arrière.The enclosure thus delimits two zones: a first zone in which the lines of a slide are spaced from those of the neighboring slide (s) to allow the storage of the shoes, with a view to their drying, and a second zone intended for storage lines which are stripped of shoes and can therefore be brought together. Thanks to the converging direction of the slides in this second zone and thanks to their distribution by groups, the stripped lines of shoes are thus gathered at the entrance of the installation, forming groups which are separated from each other, this which facilitates access to the shoes worn by the lines located in the rear area.
Des moyens de chauffage peuvent être prévus dans la première zone en vue d'accélérer le séchage des chaussures. Une séparation escamotable est alors interposée entre les deux zones. Cette séparation est constituée, par exemple, par un rideau à lamelles.Heating means can be provided in the first zone in order to speed up the drying of the shoes. A retractable partition is then interposed between the two zones. This separation is constituted, for example, by a slatted curtain.
Diverses formes peuvent être adoptées pour la réalisation de l'enceinte proprement dite. C'est ainsi que :
- - l'enceinte peut avoir une forme de parallélépipède rectangle, la première zone destinée au stockage et au séchage des chaussures étant celle arrière, et la deuxième zone destinée au stockage des suspentes dégarnies de chaussures étant celle avant ;
- - l'enceinte peut avoir une forme générale cylindrique à axe vertical, comporter des glissières pour suspentes à direction radiale et délimiter trois zones concentriques : celle extérieure destinée au stockage et au séchage des chaussures, celle intermédiaire destinée à la manutention des chaussures, et celle intérieure destinée au stockage des suspentes dégarnies de chaussures, au moins un espace vide étant prévu dans la zone extérieure pour servir de couloir d'accès à la zone intermédiaire.
- - The enclosure can have the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the first zone intended for the storage and drying of the shoes being that rear, and the second zone intended for the storage of the hanging lines of shoes being that before;
- - the enclosure can have a generally cylindrical shape with a vertical axis, include slides for hangers with radial direction and delimit three concentric zones: the external one intended for the storage and drying of the shoes, the intermediate one intended for the handling of the shoes, and that interior intended for the storage of the hanging lines of shoes, at least one empty space being provided in the exterior zone to serve as an access corridor to the intermediate zone.
Quelle que soit la forme de l'enceinte, la même installation devant recevoir des chaussures de diverses pointures, des écartements différents sont donnés aux glissières qui correspondent alors chacune à une ou à quelques pointures déterminées.Whatever the shape of the enclosure, the same installation having to receive shoes of various sizes, different spacings are given to the slides which then correspond each to one or a few determined sizes.
Concernant les suspentes et leurs moyens de support des chaussures, divers agencements sont possibles.Regarding the lines and their means of supporting the shoes, various arrangements are possible.
Suivant une forme d'exécution, chaque suspente consiste en une tringle ou un tube comportant, sur toute sa hauteur, des orifices servant à l'accrochage, à hauteur réglable, de supports individuels pour chaussures, constitués par un fil métallique replié en épingle, pour former deux branches dont l'une est constamment en appui contre la suspente et dont l'autre, tendant à se rabattre élastiquement contre la première, reçoit la chaussure et la maintient plaquée contre la suspente.According to one embodiment, each hanger consists of a rod or a tube comprising, over its entire height, holes used for hanging, at adjustable height, of individual supports for shoes, constituted by a metal wire folded into a pin, to form two branches, one of which is constantly in abutment against the hanger and the other of which, tending to fold elastically against the first, receives the shoe and keeps it pressed against the hanger.
Suivant une variante d'exécution, chaque suspente est constituée par un tube auquel se raccorde, par une articulation, un tube oblique recevant la chaussure, et le tube de suspente est alimenté en air chaud par une gaine qui est située sur la face inférieure, ou plancher, de l'installation, en dessous de la zone rectiligne de chaque glissière, et est raccordée à la source d'air chaud.According to an alternative embodiment, each hanger is constituted by a tube to which is connected, by a joint, an oblique tube receiving the shoe, and the hanger tube is supplied with hot air by a sheath which is located on the underside, or floor, of the installation, below the rectilinear zone of each slide, and is connected to the source of hot air.
Des moyens sont d'ailleurs prévus pour permettre au tube de suspente de n'être en communication avec la gaine inférieure d'air chaud que lorsque la suspente occupe une position d'utilisation devant déterminer une position de séchage.Means are also provided to allow the hanger tube to be in communication with the lower duct of hot air only when the hanger occupies a position of use to determine a drying position.
Suivant une forme d'exécution, la suspente est, à cet effet, librement articulée autour d'un axe horizontal transversal sur un chariot la supportant dans l'une des glissières supérieures de l'installation, et elle porte à son extrémité inférieure un patin articulé par lequel elle prend librement appui sur la gaine inférieure d'air chaud qui présente des ouvertures avec lesquelles communique le tube de suspente lorsqu'il est amené dans une position devant déterminer le séchage des chaussures, chacune de ces ouvertures étant équipée d'un clapet se fermant automatiquement lorsque, par déplacement de la suspente, cesse la communication entre le tube de suspente et la gaine.According to one embodiment, the hanger is, for this purpose, freely articulated around a transverse horizontal axis on a carriage supporting it in one of the upper slides of the installation, and it carries at its lower end a shoe articulated by which it freely rests on the lower sheath of hot air which has openings with which communicates the hanger tube when it is brought into a position to determine the drying of the shoes, each of these openings being equipped with a valve closing automatically when, by moving the hanger, the communication between the hanger tube and the sheath ceases.
L'invention' sera bien comprise, d'ailleurs, et ses avantages, ainsi que d'autres caractéristiques, ressortiront bien de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, deux formes d'exécution de cette installation :
- Figure 1 est une vue de face en élévation, illustrant une forme d'exécution d'une suspente entrant dans la constitution de cette installation,
- Figure 2 est une vue schématique en plan par dessus d'une installation comportant de telles suspentes, l'installation étant représentée garnie de chaussures pour certaines suspentes, et plus ou moins dégarnie pour certaines autres,
- Figure 3 est une vue schématique en plan par dessus d'une variante d'exécution de l'installation,
- Figures 4 et 5 sont, à plus grande échelle, des vues en coupe verticale, respectivement transversale et longitudinale, d'une suspente dans le cas d'une variante d'exécution.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevation view, illustrating an embodiment of a hanger forming part of this installation,
- FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view from above of an installation comprising such hangers, the installation being shown furnished with shoes for certain hangers, and more or less bare for certain others,
- FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view from above of an alternative embodiment of the installation,
- Figures 4 and 5 are, on a larger scale, views in vertical section, respectively transverse and longitudinal, of a hanger in the case of an alternative embodiment.
L'installation qui fait l'objet de l'invention comporte une pluralité de suspentes servant à l'accrochage des chaussures en position renversée. L'une de ces suspentes est représentée à la figure 1. Elle est constituée par une tringle verticale (1) qui, à son extrémité supérieure, est suspendue par un chariot (2) dans une glissière horizontale (3), fixée sous la face inférieure (4) de l'installation ; et par son extrémité inférieure, la suspente (l) est placée à l'intérieur d'une glissière (5) fixée sur la face inférieure (6) de l'installation, en dessous de la glissière supérieure (3). L'extrémité inférieure de la suspente peut librement se déplacer dans cette glissière inférieure (5).The installation which is the subject of the invention comprises a plurality of hangers for hanging the shoes in the inverted position. One of these lines is shown in Figure 1. It consists of a vertical rod (1) which, at its upper end, is suspended by a carriage (2) in a horizontal slide (3), fixed under the face lower (4) of the installation; and by its lower end, the hanger (l) is placed inside a slide (5) fixed on the face lower (6) of the installation, below the upper slide (3). The lower end of the hanger can move freely in this lower slide (5).
Sur la plus grande partie de sa hauteur, cette suspente (1) comporte une pluralité d'orifices (7) destinés à la fixation des organes constituant les supports individuels des chaussures. Dans le cas représenté à la figure 1, chacun de ces organes est constitué par un fil d'acier replié sur lui-même à la manière d'une épingle, pour former deux branches, respectivement (8) et (9). Grâce à l'élasticité obtenue par repliement du fil, les deux branches (8) et (9) tendent à se rapprocher l'une contre l'autre, et grâce à leur fixation sur un support traversant l'un ou l'autre des orifices (7), les deux branches (8) et (9) tendent à s'appliquer élastiquement contre la suspente (1). Alors cependant que la branche (8) est constamment en appui contre la suspente (I), la branche (9) peut en être écartée élastiquement pour recevoir une chaussure (10).Over most of its height, this hanger (1) has a plurality of holes (7) intended for fixing the members constituting the individual supports of the shoes. In the case shown in Figure 1, each of these members is constituted by a steel wire folded over on itself like a pin, to form two branches, respectively (8) and (9). Thanks to the elasticity obtained by folding the wire, the two branches (8) and (9) tend to approach one against the other, and thanks to their fixing on a support passing through one or the other of the orifices (7), the two branches (8) and (9) tend to be applied elastically against the hanger (1). While, however, the branch (8) is constantly in abutment against the hanger (I), the branch (9) can be moved away from it elastically to receive a shoe (10).
: Comme le montre la figure 1, le support de chaque chaussure n'occupe qu'un emplacement latéral très réduit, lorsqu'il est sans chaussures. Par contre, lorsqu'une chaussure (10) a été mise en place sur la branche (9) d'un support, cette chaussure et son support (9) débordent fortement latéralement par rapport à la tringle (1) de la suspente. : As shown in Figure 1, the support of each shoe occupies only a very small lateral location, when it is without shoes. On the other hand, when a shoe (10) has been put in place on the branch (9) of a support, this shoe and its support (9) project strongly laterally with respect to the rod (1) of the hanger.
On conçoit dès lors que, si une installation comporte une pluralité de glissières supérieures (3), des écartements différents peuvent être donnés à ces glissières, en fonction des pointures des chaussures à sécher.It is therefore understandable that, if an installation comprises a plurality of upper slides (3), different spacings can be given to these slides, depending on the sizes of the shoes to be dried.
C'est donc ainsi que, comme le montre la figure 2, des écartements très différents ont été donnés de gauche à droite aux glissières (3) représentées de façon très schématique sur cette figure 2 dans laquelle les glissières situées dans la. partie gauche sont beaucoup plus rapprochées que celles situées dans la partie droite. Dans ces conditions, les glissières situées à gauche reçoivent des suspentes destinées à des chaussures dont les pointures vont, par exemple, de 24 à 37, alors que les suspentes de la partie médiane sont destinées à des chaussures dont les pointures vont de 38 à 43, et que les suspentes situées dans la partie droite sont destinées à des chaussures de grandes pointures, par exemple, 44 à 48.Thus, as shown in Figure 2, very different spacings were given from left to right to the slides (3) shown very schematically in this Figure 2 in which the slides located in the. left side are much closer than those located on the right side. Under these conditions, the slides located on the left receive lines intended for shoes whose sizes range, for example, from 24 to 37, while the lines in the middle part are intended for shoes whose sizes range from 38 to 43 , and that the lines located in the right part are intended for shoes of large sizes, for example, 44 to 48.
Dans toutes les zones, l'écartement des glissières (3) est tel que lorsque les suspentes sont garnies de chaussures, il n'existe pratiquement pas d'espaces libres entre les chaussures portées par les suspentes d'une glissière et les chaussures portées par les suspentes de la glissière voisine.In all areas, the spacing of the slides (3) is such that when the lines are lined with shoes, there are practically no free spaces between the shoes worn by the sus slopes of a slide and the shoes worn by the lines of the neighboring slide.
On conçoît dès lors que l'accès aux chaussures portées par des suspentes serait difficile après qu'aient été dégarnies les suspentes placées en avant. En d'autres termes, ne seraient facilement accessibles que les suspentes placées en avant, c'est-à-dire la première suspente de chaque série de suspentes.It is therefore understandable that access to the shoes worn by lines would be difficult after the lines placed in front have been stripped. In other words, only the lines placed in front, that is to say the first line of each series of lines, would be easily accessible.
Il n'en est pas ainsi en réalité. Comme le montre en effet la figure 1 qui représente une forme d'exécution de l'installation, chaque glissière (3) se prolonge vers l'avant de façon telle que l'installation délimite deux zones, à savoir :
- - une première zone désignée de façon générale par (12) ; cette zone est celle destinée au stockage des chaussures,
- - et une deuxième zone désignée par (13) ; cette deuxième zone est destinée au rassemblement des suspentes lorsqu'elles ont été dégarnies de chaussures.
- - a first zone generally designated by (12); this area is the area for storing shoes
- - and a second zone designated by (13); this second zone is intended for the collection of lines when they have been stripped of shoes.
Les glissières (3) s'étendent sur toute la profondeur des deux zones (12) et (13) ; mais alors qu'elles sont parallèles entre elles dans la zone (12), les glissières (3) convergent par groupes les unes en direction des autres dans la zone (13). Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 2, le nombre de groupes est de trois. Dans le groupe de gauche, aboutissent quatre glissières (3) ; dans le groupe médian, aboutissent six glissières (3) ; et dans le groupe de droite, aboutissent trois glissières (3).The slides (3) extend over the entire depth of the two zones (12) and (13); but while they are mutually parallel in the zone (12), the slides (3) converge in groups towards one another in the zone (13). In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the number of groups is three. In the group on the left, there are four slides (3); in the middle group, end six slides (3); and in the right group, end three slides (3).
Lorsque les suspentes sont garnies de chaussures, elles sont rassemblées les unes derrière les autres dans les portions parallèles des glissières (3), à l'intérieur de la zone de stockage et de séchage (12).When the lines are lined with shoes, they are gathered one behind the other in the parallel portions of the slides (3), inside the storage and drying area (12).
Lorsqu'une paire de chaussures de telle ou telle pointure doit être prélevée, l'utilisateur accède à la suspente se trouvant en avant, dans la glissière correspondant à la pointure de chaussures choisies ; il prélève la paire de chaussures ; et après ce prélèvement, il tire la suspente vers l'avant jusqu'à ce qu'elle arrive à l'extrémité de la glissière dans la zone (13) ou jusqu'à ce qu'elle vienne en appui contre une autre suspente déjà dégarnie de ses chaussures.When a pair of shoes of such or such size must be removed, the user accesses the hanger located in front, in the slide corresponding to the shoe size chosen; he takes the pair of shoes; and after this removal, it pulls the hanger forward until it reaches the end of the slide in the area (13) or until it comes to bear against another hanger already stripped of his shoes.
Lorsqu'une suspente est dégarnie de chaussures, elle se trouve, en conséquence, stockée dans la zone (13), dans l'un ou l'autre des trois groupes dont il a été question plus haut ; et les suspentes vides ainsi stockées n'occupent qu'un faible encombrement latéral puisqu'elles sont dégarnies de chaussures et que les supports (9) des chaussures se trouvent rabattus contre les suspentes elles-mêmes ; et en raison de la direction convergente des glissières (3) dans la zone (13), les suspentes dégarnies de chaussures peuvent ainsi se rapprocher les unes des autres en donnant finalement lieu à un encombrement latéral très réduit. Il est donc possible d'accéder très facilement à la zone arrière (12) dans laquelle sont stockées les chaussures.When a hanger is stripped of shoes, it is therefore stored in the zone (13), in one or other of the three groups mentioned above; and the empty lines as well stored occupy only a small lateral space since they are stripped of shoes and the supports (9) of the shoes are folded against the hangers themselves; and due to the converging direction of the slides (3) in the zone (13), the stripped lines of shoes can thus come closer to one another, ultimately giving rise to a very small lateral bulk. It is therefore possible to easily access the rear area (12) in which the shoes are stored.
Pour favoriser le séchage des chaussures dans la zone (12), des moyens de séchage sont prévus ; et c'est ainsi que peut être envoyé dans la zone (12) un courant d'air chaud avantageusement ozonisé. Pour diminuer les pertes d'air chaud vers l'extérieur, un rideau à lamelles (14) est avantageusement prévu entre les zones (12) et (13) de l'instal-- / lation.To promote the drying of the shoes in the area (12), drying means are provided; and this is how a stream of advantageously ozonized hot air can be sent into the zone (12). To reduce losses of hot air to the outside, a louvered curtain (14) is advantageously provided between the zones (12) and (13) of the installation.
D'autres moyens peuvent évidemment être prévus pour accélérer le séchage des chaussures et réduire au minimum les pertes d'air chaud.Other means can obviously be provided to accelerate the drying of the shoes and to minimize losses of hot air.
C'est ainsi que dans le cas de la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 4 et 5, chacune des suspentes de l'installation est constituée par un tube (15) sur lequel sont raccordés des embouts tubulaires (16) destinés à servir chacun de support à une chaussure (17). Une articulation est prévue entre le tube (15) de la suspente et l'embout tubulaire (16) afin de permettre à cet embout d'être rabattu contre la suspente (15) lorsqu'il est dégarni de chaussures.Thus in the case of the embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, each of the lines of the installation consists of a tube (15) to which are connected tubular end pieces (16) intended to serve each for supporting a shoe (17). A joint is provided between the tube (15) of the hanger and the tubular endpiece (16) in order to allow this endpiece to be folded against the hanger (15) when it is stripped of shoes.
A sa partie supérieure, le tube de suspente (15) est monté, comme dans le cas précédent, par l'intermédiaire d'un chariot, dans une glissière horizontale supérieure. A sa partie inférieure, le tube de suspente (15) reçoit un patin (18) qui lui est articulé en (19). Ce patin entoure le tube (15) et est destiné à prendre librement appui, par un joint (20), sur la face supérieure d'une gaine (21) dans laquelle circule un courant d'air chaud avantageusement ozonisé. Dans la face supérieure de cette gaine, sont prévus des orifices (22) dont le nombre est égal à celui des suspentes devant être placées dans la zone de stockage (12). Lorsque la suspente (15) est en position d'utilisation, son extrémité inférieure pénètre dans la gaine (21), de telle sorte que l'intérieur de la chaussure (17) est alimenté en air chaud ; et dans cette position, l'extrémité inférieure de la suspente agit sur un volet (23) placé à l'intérieur de la gaine (21).At its upper part, the hanger tube (15) is mounted, as in the previous case, by means of a carriage, in an upper horizontal slide. At its lower part, the hanger tube (15) receives a shoe (18) which is articulated to it in (19). This shoe surrounds the tube (15) and is intended to rest freely, by a seal (20), on the upper face of a sheath (21) in which a stream of advantageously ozonated hot air circulates. In the upper face of this sheath, holes (22) are provided, the number of which is equal to that of the lines to be placed in the storage area (12). When the hanger (15) is in the use position, its lower end penetrates into the sheath (21), so that the interior of the shoe (17) is supplied with hot air; and in this position, the lower end of the hanger acts on a flap (23) placed inside the sheath (21).
Ce volet (23) est destiné à fermer automatiquement, grâce à un ressort, l'ouverture (22) lorsque la suspente (15), après avoir été dégarnie de chaussures, passe de la zone de séchage (12) à la zone de stockage à vide (13).This flap (23) is intended to automatically close, by means of a spring, the opening (22) when the hanger (15), after having been stripped of shoes, passes from the drying zone (12) to the storage zone empty (13).
Il suffit donc que la suspente (15) soit passée manuellement de la zone (12) à celle (13) ou vice-versa, pour que cesse ou pour que soit déclenchée son alimentation en air par un canal (21).It is therefore sufficient for the hanger (15) to be passed manually from the zone (12) to that (13) or vice-versa, for it to cease or for its air supply to be triggered by a channel (21).
Quel que soit le mode de chauffage envisagé pour accélérer le séchage des chaussures, ou même en l'absence d'un chauffage, l'installation peut avoir une forme générale autre que celle précédemment décrite en référence à la figure 2.Whatever the heating mode envisaged to accelerate the drying of the shoes, or even in the absence of heating, the installation may have a general shape other than that previously described with reference to FIG. 2.
C'est ainsi que la figure 3 représente une installation de forme générale cylindrique dans laquelle les glissières (3) s'étendent radialement et sont en conséquence plus écartées dans la zone extérieure que dans la zone centrale. Cette enceinte cylindrique est divisée en trois zones :
- - une zone extérieure (25) qui est destinée au stockage et au séchage des chaussures et présente deux interruptions (26), entre lesquelles peut être aménagée une banque (29),
- - une zone intérieure (27) qui, en raison du rapprochement des glissières (3), n'est utilisable qu'au stockage des suspentes dégarnies de chaussures,
- - et une zone intermédiaire (28) à laquelle il est possible d'accéder par l'un ou l'autre des deux passages que constituent les deux interruptions de la zone extérieure (25) ; cette zone intermédiaire (28) joue le rôle de couloir de passage pour accéder aux suspentes et aux chaussures.
- - an external zone (25) which is intended for the storage and drying of the shoes and has two interruptions (26), between which a bank (29) can be arranged,
- - an interior zone (27) which, due to the approximation of the slides (3), can only be used for the storage of stripped shoe hangers,
- - And an intermediate zone (28) to which it is possible to access by one or the other of the two passages which constitute the two interruptions of the external zone (25); this intermediate zone (28) acts as a passage corridor for accessing the hangers and the shoes.
Quels que soient sa forme et l'agencement de ses suspentes, une installation conforme à l'invention permet, dans tous les cas, de sécher les chaussures dans les meilleures conditions d'efficacité, tout en permettant, d'une part, un stockage des chaussuress dans un emplacement de volume restreint, et tout en permettant, d'autre part, un accès facile aux chaussures.Whatever its shape and the arrangement of its lines, an installation in accordance with the invention makes it possible, in all cases, to dry the shoes in the best conditions of efficiency, while allowing, on the one hand, storage shoes in a space of limited volume, and while allowing, on the other hand, easy access to shoes.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à ses seules formes d'exécution qui ont été ci-dessus indiquées à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes.As it goes without saying, the invention is not limited to its only embodiments which have been indicated above by way of example, on the contrary, it embraces all of the variants thereof.
