Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for assembling plate elements made of a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard. It relates more particularly to a system of this type which can be applied to nested planar elements, capable, by pivoting, of being brought flat against each other, said system ensuring the locking in the assembled position of these elements, as well flat only after setting in volume.
  • Such elements can be, in particular, parts of crosspieces for bottle racks, which consist of cardboard or corrugated cardboard plates notched at regular intervals over part of their height by slots, in which the corresponding slots of similar plates, so as to form an assembly which defines with the cardboard box in which it is housed a plurality of identical housings for bottles.
  • the braces can be stored flat after assembly. It is also common for them to be housed in advance in the American boxes they equip, sometimes being joined together by gluing an internal face of these boxes, and it is then the boxes themselves that are stored at flat with the braces they contain.
  • Such a system ensures excellent locking of two assembled plates when they are in the use position, that is to say when they are perpendicular to each other.
  • the teeth can very easily come out of their housing, by simple sliding of the plates in contact with one another, and no security is obtained in this position.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks of the known technique, by proposing a system for assembling two elements of cardboard or of a semi-rigid material cooperating by nesting of slots, of particular shape, to lock the assembled elements, whatever that is the angle that these elements form between them and even when they are folded flat against each other.
  • the subject of the invention is a system for assembling two planar elements in a semi-rigid material of the type in which each of said plate elements comprises, from one of its edges, a slot in a rectilinear part at least of which the other element is engaged, the corresponding rectilinear parts of the slots of the two elements in the assembled position being in the extension of one another, this system being characterized in that the slot of one of said elements has a profile such that it defines a part forming a flap offset laterally with respect to the rectilinear part of said slot and articulated on said element by a fold line directed obliquely with respect to said rectilinear part, and in that the other element comprises an opening in which said flap is engaged in the assembled position, said opening having a shape such that, when said assembled elements are arranged perpendicular to each other, ledi t flap can pivot freely around its fold line without meeting the edges of said opening, while, when said elements are applied one against the other in part assembly, after pivoting around an
  • the two elements can thus be assembled in a position in which they are perpendicular to each other, by customarily engaging each of said elements in the slot of the other element.
  • Said flap retracts by pivoting around its fold line when it meets a solid part of the other element and, when it is opposite the cutout of the other panel, it pivots by elasticity in the opposite direction around its fold line and returns to the plane of the element to which it is attached by crossing said cut.
  • the flap prevents the two elements from coming apart.
  • the fold line serving as an articulation for the flap will be d 'one side of the panel having the opening, while a part of this flap will be on the other side of said panel, since the flap cannot pivot freely, in this position, around its fold line. In this position also, therefore, the flap will remain engaged obliquely in the associated opening and the two elements will therefore in all cases be locked in the assembled position.
  • each of the elements assembled in accordance with the invention may comprise a flap intended to be engaged in an opening of the other element and an opening intended to receive a flap of the other element.
  • Such a system is therefore particularly well suited to locking in the assembled position of the crosspiece elements for bottle racks, since it does not significantly modify their manufacture or their mounting. Note also that there is autoblocking of the elements during assembly, the shutter engaging itself in the associated opening. Another object of the invention is such an application to the assembly of cross-pieces for bottles of the system according to the invention.
  • the shutter and the cut could, for example, have a triangular profile, one of the sides of the triangle being constituted, for the shutter, by its fold line and, for the cut, by an offset offset of the rectilinear part of the panel slot in which it is practiced.
  • the cut will have a symmetrical shape with respect to the rectilinear part of said slot, so that the flap can be retracted, by pivoting around its fold line, indifferently in one direction or the other before engaging. in the cutout, when the two panels are assembled.
  • the shutter and the cut can also have curvilinear profiles.
  • a tongue articulated on this panel by a fold line substantially perpendicular to the rectilinear part of the slot will be provided below the lower end of the lower cutout of this slot, in order to absorb shocks between panels, during their overlapping, and thus ensure adequate positioning of the shutter and the associated cutout.
  • the cardboard panels 1 and 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 each comprise, from an edge, a slot, respectively 3 and 4, making it possible to assemble them, by nesting them one inside the other, and rotate them after assembly around an axis materialized by the general direction of the slots.
  • the slot 4 of the panel 2 is substantially rectilinear while the slot 3 of the panel 1 comprises a substantially rectilinear part 5, of length equal to that of the slot 4, in the extension of which is in the assembled position.
  • Part 5 of the slot 3 is extended by parts 6 and 7, delimiting a flap 8, articulated on the panel 1 by a fold line 9, arranged obliquely relative to the part 5 of the slot 3.
  • a cutout 10 is provided in the panel 2, in a position such that in the assembled position the flap 8 can penetrate it freely, when the panels are assembled, in a position perpendicular to one another.
  • This cutout 10 has a shape such that, when the two elements 1 and 2 assembled are perpendicular to each other (position in FIG. 6), the flap 8 can pivot freely around the fold line 9, without meeting the edges of the cutout 10, while, when they are assembled and applied one against the other (position in FIG. 7), the flap 8 cannot pivot around the line 9 without being stopped by one or more edges 10a of the cutout 10.
  • the flap 8 has a triangular shape
  • the cutout 10 has a symmetrical profile with respect to the axis of the slot 4 and has the shape of a quadrilateral formed by the juxtaposition of two identical triangles. It is against the bodies 10a formed by the lower sides of this quadrilateral that the shutter 8 abuts, when the panels 1 and 2 are applied flat against each other.
  • the base of this quadrilateral could have a curvilinear shape, that of an arc of a circle for example, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the assembly of the panels 1 and 2 is carried out in the manner illustrated by FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the panels being perpendicular to each other, they are respectively engaged in the usual manner in the slot 3 or 4 of the other panel.
  • the flap 8 is pushed back by the panel and pivots laterally around the fold line 9, along the arrow F1 (FIG. 5) to retract, until it arrives opposite the cutout 10. Because of its elasticity, it then pivots in the opposite direction around the line 9, along the arrow F2, entering the cutout 10, thus returning to the plane of the panel 1 and locking the panels in assembled position (figure 6). There is therefore self-locking of the two panels, without manual or mechanical intervention being necessary to engage the flap 8 in the slot 10.
  • each of the panels 1 and 2 may include a shutter and an opening for receiving the shutter from the other panel.
  • the spider shown in these figures comprises a panel 2 'assembled in accordance with the invention with two parallel panels 1' which form with a connection element 12 'a U-section assembly, which can, in a manner known per se, be made integral of the internal wall of an American box by bonding of the element 12 'against this wall.
  • the element 12 'representing the base of the U is parallel to the panel 2', but it could as well be perpendicular to this wall (as shown diagrammatically in 12 "in FIG. 8), to be arranged at the bottom of the body, after formatting thereof.
  • FIG 10 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the elements already described retain the same reference numbers.
  • a tongue 14, cut out from the panel 1 is articulated on the latter by a line of folding 15 substantially perpendicular to the straight part 5 of the slot 3.
  • this tab will absorb, by pivoting around the line 15, the shock exerted by the fall of the panel 1 and will eliminate the risks of tearing.
  • the tongue 14 will urge the panel upwards and thus bring it back to a position suitable for allowing the associated panels to be locked flat.
  • the invention therefore provides a very simple system, easy to make and to assemble, for locking in any position of two planar elements assembled by nesting one inside the other of a system of slots.
