Abstract

A structure for mounting an articulated lid to a thermoformed box wherein the box includes outwardly projecting lugs which extend from the lateral or side walls of the box upon which are mounted or formed lateral bosses which are receivable within openings formed in the side walls of the lid when the projecting lugs are folded into vertically abutting relationship with the lateral walls of the box.

Description

La présente invention a trait aux écrins ou autres étuis dans lesquels le couvercle s'articule latéralement sur les côtés d'un boîtier obtenu par l'assemblage d'un fond thermoformé et d'un dos inférieur.The present invention relates to cases or other cases in which the cover is articulated laterally on the sides of a case obtained by the assembly of a thermoformed bottom and a lower back.

On sait que dans les écrins de ce genre, le montage articulé du couvercle sur le boîtier est généralement assuré à l'aide de deux rivets ou organes similaires qui sont introduits dans des perforations pratiquées en coïncidence dans les parois latérales du boîtier et du couvercle. On comprend que la pose de ces rivets constitue une opération supplémentaire qui grève de manière non négligeable le prix de revient des articles finis.We know that in cases of this kind, the hinged mounting of the cover on the housing is generally ensured by means of two rivets or similar members which are introduced into perforations formed coincidentally in the side walls of the housing and of the cover. It is understood that the installation of these rivets constitutes an additional operation which significantly increases the cost price of the finished articles.

Aussi a-t-on proposé d'assurer l'articulation du couvercle moyennant encliquetage élastique de bossages latéraux prévus en saillie sur le fond thermoformé, à l'intérieur de perforations ménagées dans les côtés du couvercle. Le montage est quelque peu simplifié, mais il n'en reste pas moins que la réalisation des bossages latéraux implique le plus souvent une reprise des boîtiers après thermoformage, de sorte que le coût reste élevé.It has therefore been proposed to ensure the articulation of the cover by means of elastic snap-fastening of lateral bosses provided projecting from the thermoformed bottom, inside perforations made in the sides of the cover. The assembly is somewhat simplified, but the fact remains that the realization of the lateral bosses generally involves a resumption of the boxes after thermoforming, so that the cost remains high.

C'est à ces inconvénients que la présente invention entend remédier.It is these drawbacks that the present invention intends to remedy.

Suivant l'invention, les bossages latéraux d'articulation sont prévus sur des pattes débordantes solidaires du boîtier et rabattues contre les parois latérales de celui-ci lors du montage du couvercle.According to the invention, the lateral articulation bosses are provided on projecting lugs integral with the housing and folded against the side walls of the latter during assembly of the cover.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :

  • Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'un écrin établi conformément à l'invention.
  • Fig. 2 et 3 et 4 illustrent à échelle très agrandie le mode de réalisation de cet écrin.
  • Fig. 5 et 6, respectivement 7 et 8, sont des coupes analogues à celles de fig. 2 et 4, mais correspondant à deux variantes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.
The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a case established in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 and 4 illustrate on a very enlarged scale the embodiment of this case.
  • Fig. 5 and 6, respectively 7 and 8, are sections similar to those of FIG. 2 and 4, but corresponding to two variant embodiments of the invention.

L'écrin représenté en fig. 1 comprend essentiellement un couvercle 1 dont la partie arrière s'articule latéralement sur un boîtier 2, lequel est à la façon en soi connue réalisé par assemblage (collage ou soudage) d'un fond thermoformé 20 et d'un dos inférieur 21.The case shown in fig. 1 essentially comprises a cover 1, the rear part of which is articulated laterally on a housing 2, which is in the known manner made by assembling (bonding or welding) a thermoformed bottom 20 and a lower back 21.

Comme montré en fig. 2, le fond thermoformé 20 comporte sur chacune de ses parois latérales une patte débordante 20 a qui, lors de l'opération de thermoformage, a été emboutie pour présenter un bossage 20 b qui fait saillie vers le bas. Les deux pattes 20 a ne gênent en aucune manière l'assemblage des pièces 20 et 21, assemblage qui détermine à la façon usuelle un patin débordant qui est destiné à servir de butée pour le bord libre du couvercle 1.As shown in fig. 2, the thermoformed bottom 20 has on each of its side walls a protruding tab 20 a which, during the thermoforming operation, has been stamped to present a boss 20 b which projects downwards. The two tabs 20 a do not in any way interfere with the assembly of the parts 20 and 21, an assembly which in the usual manner determines an overflowing pad which is intended to serve as a stop for the free edge of the cover 1.

Lors du montage de ce couvercle 1, il suffit à l'opérateur de relever les deux pattes 20 a et d'introduire, moyennant une déformation élastique momentanée, les bossages 20 b dans des perforations 1 a pratiquées dans les parois latérales du couvercle 1. On obtient de la sorte le montage articulé représenté en fig. 4.When mounting this lid 1, it suffices for the operator to raise the two lugs 20a and to introduce, with a temporary elastic deformation, the bosses 20 b in the perforations 1a in the side walls of the cover 1. This gives the articulated assembly shown in fig. 4.

On observera que si l'on prend soin de prévoir sur chaque paroi latérale du fond 20, au niveau de la patte débordante 20 a, une partie en dépression telle que celle référencée 20 c, le repliage vers le haut des pattes 20 a ne détermine aucune surépaisseur sur les côtés du fond 20.It will be observed that if care is taken to provide on each side wall of the bottom 20, at the level of the protruding tab 20 a , a part in depression such as that referenced 20 c , the upward folding of the tabs 20 a does not determine no allowance for the sides of the bottom 20.

Dans la variante de mise en oeuvre illustrée en fig. 5 et 6, c'est le dos inférieur, référencé 23, qui comporte latéralement deux pattes débordantes 23 a dont chacune est pourvue d'un bossage 23 b tourné vers le bas à la manière représentée en fig. 5. Ici également, après assemblage du fond 22 et du dos 23, les deux pattes 23 a sont repliées à la verticale contre les parois latérales du fond 22 (ces parois présentant avantageusement des dépressions 22 a pour recevoir ces pattes), de sorte que les bossages 23 b, alors tournés latéralement, sont susceptibles d'être introduits dans les perforations 1 a du couvercle 1.In the variant of implementation illustrated in FIG. 5 and 6, it is the lower back, referenced 23, which laterally comprises two projecting legs 23 a , each of which is provided with a boss 23 b turned downwards in the manner shown in FIG. 5. Here also, after assembling the bottom 22 and the back 23, the two legs 23 a are folded vertically against the side walls of the bottom 22 (these walls advantageously having depressions 22 a to receive these legs), so that the bosses 23 b , then turned laterally, are capable of being introduced into the perforations 1 a of the cover 1.

Fig. 7 et 8 illustrent un troisième mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, suivant lequel les pattes débordantes, référencées 24 a et pourvues d'un bossage 24 b tourné vers le bas, sont solidaires du fond thermoformé 24, comme dans le cas de fig. 2 à 4. Toutefois, le dos 25 comporte deux pattes débordantes 25 a équivalentes qui sont perforées en 25 b et qui, après introduction des bossages 24 b dans les perforations 25 b, sont assemblées aux pattes 24 a lors du soudage du dos 25 contre le fond 24. Les pattes doubles 24 a-25 a ainsi obtenues peuvent être rabattues vers le haut comme illustré en fig. 8, afin que les bossages 24 b soient engagés dans les perforations 1 a du couvercle 1 pour assurer le montage articulé de celui-ci sur le boîtier.Fig. 7 and 8 illustrate a third embodiment of the invention, according to which the protruding legs, referenced 24 a and provided with a boss 24 b facing downwards, are integral with the thermoformed bottom 24, as in the case of fig. 2 to 4. However, the back 25 has two equivalent overhanging legs 25 a which are perforated at 25 b and which, after introduction of the bosses 24 b into the perforations 25 b , are joined to the legs 24 a when the back 25 is welded against the bottom 24. The double legs 24 a -25 a thus obtained can be folded up as illustrated in fig. 8, so that the bosses 24 b are engaged in the perforations 1 a of the cover 1 to ensure the articulated mounting of the latter on the housing.

On notera que le doublage ainsi réalisé est susceptible d'être adopté dans le cas du mode de mise en oeuvre suivant fig. 5 et 6, le bord libre du fond 22 étant pourvu à cet effet de pattes débordantes 22 b qui ferment les bossages 23 b des pattes 23 a du dos 23.It will be noted that the doubling thus produced is likely to be adopted in the case of the mode of implementation according to FIG. 5 and 6, the free edge of the bottom 22 being provided for this purpose with protruding legs 22 b which close the bosses 23 b of the legs 23 a on the back 23.

Dans tous les cas, le mode d'articulation obtenu est particulièrement robuste et sûr, tout au long de l'utilisation de l'écrin.In all cases, the mode of articulation obtained is particularly robust and safe, throughout the use of the case.
