Description

La présente invention est relative à une boîte enregistreuse portable.The present invention relates to a portable recording box.

On connaît des boîtes enregistreuses portables comprenant un fond, deux côtés latéraux, deux côtés transversaux, et un couvercle évidé permettant de voir un papier situé à l'intérieur de la boîte et d'écrire sur lui, ce papier pouvant être évacué par une fente située à l'extrémité du couvercle, la boîte étant équipée en outre d'une plaque rigide servant de table d'écriture située entre le couvercle évidé et le volume intérieur de la boîte, ladite plaque rigide laissant, du côté opposé à la fente, un passage pour permettre à une partie d'une bande de papier contenue dans le volume intérieur de passer sur ladite plaque pour qu'on puisse écrire dessus.Portable recording boxes are known comprising a bottom, two lateral sides, two transverse sides, and a hollowed-out cover making it possible to see a paper located inside the box and to write on it, this paper being able to be evacuated by a slot located at the end of the cover, the box being further equipped with a rigid plate serving as a writing table situated between the hollowed-out cover and the interior volume of the box, said rigid plate leaving, on the side opposite to the slot, a passage to allow part of a strip of paper contained in the interior volume to pass over said plate so that one can write on it.

Quand il s'agit de factures, ou documents analogues, le papier est un papier autocopiant ou pourvu d'un carbone, et on établit un double lorsqu'on écrit sur lui. Ce double, conservé généralement par la personne qui a écrit sur la boîte, doit être conservé. Usuellement, il est stocké séparément. Lorsque l'utilisateur, par exemple dans un commerce de proximité, n'a pas de place pour ranger les doubles, il les met dans sa poche ou dans une sacoche où ils risquent d'être détériorés ou froissés. Il est nécessaire ensuite de les reclasser, ce qui prend du temps.When it comes to invoices, or similar documents, the paper is carbonless or carbon-containing paper, and a duplicate is made when writing on it. This duplicate, generally kept by the person who wrote on the box, should be kept. Usually it is stored separately. When the user, for example in a convenience store, has no place to store the duplicates, he puts them in his pocket or in a bag where they risk being damaged or wrinkled. It is then necessary to reclassify them, which takes time.

On a proposé dans FR-A-971.804 une boîte enregistreuse portable qui présente, dans son fond, une fente par laquelle une feuille à conserver peut être introduite dans l'espace intérieur.In FR-A-971.804, a portable recording box has been proposed which has, at its bottom, a slot through which a sheet to be stored can be introduced into the interior space.

Pour empêcher les feuilles à conserver de s'échapper, le bord de la fente qui est du côté du centre de la boîte est relevé vers l'intérieur par rapport à l'autre. Cette disposition oblige à prévoir, dans le fond, un trou par lequel l'opérateur peut glisser les doigts pour faciliter l'introduction d'une nouvelle feuille à conserver, si bien que le contenu de la boîte est mal protégé.To prevent the leaves to keep from escaping, the edge of the slit which is on the side of the center of the box is raised inward relative to the other. This provision obliges to provide, in the bottom, a hole through which the operator can slide the fingers to facilitate the introduction of a new sheet to keep, so that the contents of the box are poorly protected.

Cette boîte enregistreuse, qui est en deux parties maintenues par un verrouillage, est relativement coûteuse, et c'est sans doute pour cette raison qu'elle ne s'est pas répandue.This cash register, which is in two parts held by a lock, is relatively expensive, and it is probably for this reason that it has not spread.

FR-A-912.296 décrit lui aussi une boîte enregistreuse pourvue d'une fente pour l'archivage de feuilles à conserver. Une pièce pivotante placée à l'intérieur de la boîte sert à séparer les feuilles vierges des feuilles usagées. Cette pièce est disposée de façon à empêcher ou freiner l'accès des feuilles déjà conservées à la fente, lorsque la boîte enregistreuse est dans sa position normale.FR-A-912.296 also describes a register box provided with a slot for archiving sheets to be kept. A swivel piece inside the box is used to separate the blank sheets from the used sheets. This part is arranged so as to prevent or slow down the access of the sheets already stored in the slot, when the register box is in its normal position.

Le prix de cette boîte enregistreuse est grevé par la complication résultant de la présence de la pièce pivotante, si bien que cette boîte ne s'est pas plus répandue.The price of this register box is burdened by the complication resulting from the presence of the pivoting part, so that this box has not become more widespread.

D'un autre côté, on a proposé dans la demande de brevet FR-A-2 575 442 publiée le 4 juillet 1986, de constituer la boîte enregistreuse par découpage et pliage d'un flan de carton unique, au moins pour le fond, le couvercle et les côtés. Le faible prix de revient de cette boîte permet de la jeter, après utilisation de son contenu, sans la recharger.On the other hand, it has been proposed in patent application FR-A-2 575 442 published on July 4, 1986, to constitute the register box by cutting and folding a single cardboard blank, at least for the bottom, the cover and the sides. The low cost price of this box allows you to throw it away, after using its contents, without recharging it.

Cette boîte enregistreuse ne permet cependant pas de conserver des documents d'archives, et la création d'un fente pour introduire les documents dans l'espace intérieur, accompagnée de la mise en place de moyens pour empêcher les feuilles de s'échapper, paraissait de nature à entraîner une argumentation de prix de revient de nature à enlever tout intérêt à la solution consistant à obtenir la boîte par découpage et pliage d'un flan de matière pliable.This register box does not, however, make it possible to store archival documents, and the creation of a slot for introducing the documents into the interior space, accompanied by the installation of means to prevent the leaves from escaping, appeared to be likely to cause cost arguments to remove any interest in the solution of obtaining the box by cutting and folding a foldable blank.

L'invention a donc pour but de fournir une boîte enregistreuse portable qui permette de conserver les documents produits, et qui soit en même temps d'un prix de revient très bas.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a portable recording box which makes it possible to store the documents produced, and at the same time of a very low cost price.

Pour obtenir ce résultat, l'invention fournit, selon un premier mode de réalisation, une boîte enregistreuse portable, comprenant un fond, deux côtés latéraux, deux côtés transversaux, et un couvercle évidé permettant de voir un papier situé à l'intérieur de la boîte et d'écrire sur lui, ce papier pouvant être évacué par une fente située à l'extrémité du couvercle, la boîte étant équipée en outre d'une plaque rigide servant de table d'écriture située entre le couvercle évidé et le volume intérieur de la boîte, ladite plaque rigide laissant, du côté opposé à la fente, un passage pour permettre à une partie d'une bande de papier contenue dans le volume intérieur de passer sur ladite plaque pour qu'on puisse écrire dessus, le fond de la boîte présentant une découpe par laquelle on peut introduire dans le volume intérieur une feuille de papier destinée à y être archivée,
   ladite boîte étant constituée d'un premier élément contenant le couvercle évidé et formé d'une plaque de matière pliable découpée et pliée, et d'un second élément également formé d'une plaque de matière pliable découpée et pliée, le premier et le second éléments étant assemblés entre eux
   caractérisée en ce que la matière pliable des deux éléments est du carton, et en ce que le fond est sensiblement plan et d'épaisseur constante sur toute sa surface, y compris les bords de la découpe.To obtain this result, the invention provides, according to a first embodiment, a portable recording box, comprising a bottom, two lateral sides, two transverse sides, and a hollowed-out cover making it possible to see a paper located inside the box and write on it, this paper can be evacuated through a slot located at the end of the cover, the box being further equipped with a rigid plate serving as a writing table located between the hollowed out cover and the interior volume of the box, said rigid plate leaving, on the side opposite to the slot, a passage to allow part of a strip of paper contained in the interior volume to pass over said plate so that one can write on it, the bottom of the box having a cutout by which a sheet of paper intended to be archived therein can be introduced into the interior volume,
said box consisting of a first element containing the hollowed-out cover and formed of a plate of folded material cut and folded, and of a second element also formed of a plate of foldable material cut and folded, the first and the second elements being assembled together
characterized in that the foldable material of the two elements is cardboard, and in that the bottom is substantially flat and of constant thickness over its entire surface, including the edges of the cutout.

Un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention diffère du premier par le fait que la boîte est constituée d'un élément unique formé d'une plaque de carton découpée et pliée, la plaque rigide pouvant être faite d'une matière différente.A second embodiment of the invention differs from the first in that the box consists of a single element formed from a cut and folded cardboard plate, the rigid plate can be made of a different material.

De façon inattendue, le problème du passage à travers la découpe des feuilles déjà emmagasinées dans la boîte enregistreuse ne s'est pas posé lorsque l'invention a été expérimentée, et les feuilles placées dans l'intérieur de la boîte ne s'en échappent que rarement.Unexpectedly, the problem of passing through the cutting of the sheets already stored in the the register box did not arise when the invention was tested, and the sheets placed inside the box rarely escape.

Ce résultat surprenant paraît dû au fait que les matières pliables utilisables pour fabriquer de telles boîtes enregistreuses, et en particulier le carton, se présentent sous des épaisseurs plus fortes que les matières telles que la tôle mince en usage à l'époque des brevets FR-A-971.804 et FR-A-919.296, si bien qu'on obtiendrait, sans mesure particulière, un effet analogue à celui du bord relevé du premier brevet cité.This surprising result appears to be due to the fact that the foldable materials which can be used to manufacture such recording boxes, and in particular the cardboard, come in greater thicknesses than the materials such as thin sheet metal in use at the time of the FR- patents. A-971.804 and FR-A-919.296, so that an effect analogous to that of the raised edge of the first cited patent.

La boîte enregistreuse peut être prévue pour n'être pas rechargée après épuisement de son contenu initial de papier. Dans ce cas, l'invention apporte un avantage important car elle permet de constituer cette boîte enregistreuse comme une boîte d'archivage "définitif", où les documents seront stockés pour toute la durée où il est nécessaire de les conserver.The cash register may be designed not to be recharged after its initial paper content has been used up. In this case, the invention provides an important advantage because it makes it possible to constitute this recording box as a "definitive" filing box, where the documents will be stored for the entire duration when it is necessary to keep them.

La boîte enregistreuse peut aussi être conçue pour un usage de longue durée avec des rechargements successifs du volume intérieur de la boîte quand il est vide. Il suffit dans ce cas de prévoir que, périodiquement, par exemple en fin de journée, on ouvre le fond de la boîte pour récupérer les documents archivés. Etant donné que le volume des documents à archiver ne constitue qu'une fraction de celui du papier vierge qui a été utilisé, puisque, à chaque fois, l'exemplaire original est remis au client, il n'y a pas de problème pour disposer d'une place suffisante pour les doubles à archiver.The cash register can also be designed for long-term use with successive recharges of the internal volume of the box when it is empty. In this case, it suffices to provide that, periodically, for example at the end of the day, the bottom of the box is opened to recover the archived documents. Since the volume of documents to be archived is only a fraction of that of the blank paper that was used, since, each time, the original copy is given to the client, there is no problem in having sufficient space for duplicates to be archived.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite de façon plus détaillée à l'aide d'exemples pratiques illustrés avec les dessins, parmi lesquels :

  • Figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective, respectivement de dessus et de dessous d'une boîte enregistreuse conforme à l'invention.
  • Figure 3 est une vue d'un flan de carton permettant d'obtenir une boîte enregistreuse conforme aux figures 1 et 2.
  • Figure 4 est une vue en coupe, à plus grande échelle, selon un plan médian de la boîte des figures 1 et 2.
  • Figures 5 et 6 sont des vues éclatées, en perspective, d'une variante de boîte selon l'invention.
  • Figures 7 et 8 sont des vues analogues d'une autre variante, et
  • Figures 9 et 10 sont encore des vues analogues d'une autre variante.
The invention will now be described in more detail with the aid of practical examples illustrated with the drawings, among which:
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views, respectively from above and from below of a register box according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a view of a cardboard blank for obtaining a register box in accordance with Figures 1 and 2.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view, on a larger scale, along a median plane of the box of Figures 1 and 2.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are exploded perspective views of a variant box according to the invention.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are similar views of another variant, and
  • Figures 9 and 10 are still similar views of another variant.

La boîte qui est décrite aux figures 1 à 4 constitue, dans son ensemble, une variante de la boîte qui fait l'objet du brevet FR-A-2 575 442, déjà cité, auquel il est renvoyé expressément pour les détails qui ne sont pas exposés ici. Rappelons que ce document décrit une boîte enregistreuse obtenue par découpage et pliage d'un flan de carton unique, et qui présente la particularité que la plaque rigide est constituée par une partie repliée du flan, reliée au reste de celui-ci par une ligne de pliage située à l'opposé de celle qui relie le couvercle au reste du flan, et que la fente d'évacuation du papier est située à l'extrémité libre du couvercle.The box which is described in FIGS. 1 to 4 constitutes, as a whole, a variant of the box which is the subject of patent FR-A-2 575 442, already cited, to which it is expressly referred for the details which are not not exposed here. Recall that this document describes a register box obtained by cutting and folding a single cardboard blank, and which has the particularity that the rigid plate is constituted by a folded part of the blank, connected to the rest of the latter by a line of folding located opposite to that which connects the cover to the rest of the blank, and that the paper discharge slot is located at the free end of the cover.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, on voit le fond 1 de la boîte, ses côtés latéraux 2, ses côtés transversaux 3, et son couvercle 4 comportant une fenêtre 5, qui permet de voir un papier 6 et d'écrire sur lui.In Figures 1 and 2, we see the bottom 1 of the box, its lateral sides 2, its transverse sides 3, and its cover 4 having a window 5, which allows to see a paper 6 and write on it.

La différence essentielle entre la boîte enregistreuse du document précité et celle qui est décrite ici consiste en une ouverture 7, prévue dans le fond. Cette ouverture, de forme générale à peu près triangulaire, comprend un bord transversal 8, de longueur sensiblement égale à la largeur intérieure de la boîte, et situé à faible distance de celle 9 des arêtes de la boîte qui est la plus proche de la fente d'évacuation du papier, et un sommet 10 voisin du milieu du fond 1. Il en résulte qu'il est possible d'archiver dans la boîte des documents ayant une dimension comparable à celle du fond 1.The essential difference between the register box of the aforementioned document and that described here consists of an opening 7, provided in the bottom. This opening, of generally roughly triangular shape, comprises a transverse edge 8, of length substantially equal to the interior width of the box, and located a short distance from that 9 of the edges of the box which is closest to the slot. evacuation of the paper, and a top 10 close to the middle of the bottom 1. As a result, it is possible to archive in the box documents having a size comparable to that of the bottom 1.

La figure 3 montre le flan qui a servi à confectionner la boîte représentée aux figures 1 et 2.FIG. 3 shows the blank which was used to make the box shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Sur cette figure, les panneaux portent les mêmes repères que les parties de la boîte enregistreuse qu'ils vont constituer : les panneaux 1 et 4 sont destinés à former le fond 1 et le couvercle 4, les panneaux 2A et 2B, après pliage, forment les côtés latéraux 2, et les panneaux 3A et 3B, les côtés transversaux 3. Les panneaux 12A et 12B, repliés, forment la plaque rigide 12.In this figure, the panels bear the same references as the parts of the register box that they will constitute: the panels 1 and 4 are intended to form the bottom 1 and the cover 4, the panels 2A and 2B, after folding, form the lateral sides 2, and the panels 3A and 3B, the transverse sides 3. The panels 12A and 12B, folded, form the rigid plate 12.

Le flan comporte, par comparaison avec celui de FR-A-2 575 442, un panneau supplémentaire 13, qui prolonge le panneau 8B en étant plus étroit que lui. Ce panneau supplémentaire forme, après le montage, une cloison mobile 13 (figure 4) qui sépare le compartiment à papier vierge 14 du compartiment d'archivage 15. Ce panneau est facultatif. En effet, il a été constaté qu'en utilisation normale, le risque de voir un document archivé être entraîné par la bande de papier vierge jusqu'à apparaître dans la fenêtre 5, en l'absence du panneau 13, est très faible. En outre, le frottement de la bande vierge sur les documents archivés, à l'intérieur de la boîte, tend à les écarter du bord 8 de l'ouverture 7, et à les empêcher de sortir. Il n'en serait pas de même si l'ouverture 7 était placée près de l'arête opposée 11 du fond.The blank comprises, by comparison with that of FR-A-2 575 442, an additional panel 13, which extends the panel 8B by being narrower than it. This additional panel forms, after assembly, a movable partition 13 (Figure 4) which separates the blank paper compartment 14 from the filing compartment 15. This panel is optional. Indeed, it has been observed that in normal use, the risk of seeing an archived document be entrained by the blank strip of paper until it appears in window 5, in the absence of panel 13, is very low. In addition, the friction of the blank strip on the archived documents, inside the box, tends to separate them from the edge 8 of the opening 7, and to prevent them from coming out. It would not be the same if the opening 7 was placed near the opposite edge 11 of the bottom.

On notera que, sur la figure 4, on suppose que la surface de fond qui correspond à l'ouverture 7 n'est pas complètement enlevée, mais forme un rabat 16 qui reste fixé à la boîte le long de l'arête 10, de façon à empêcher les documents archivés de s'échapper, et à leur assurer une certaine protection en obturant l'ouverture 7 au moins partiellement. Cette modalité n'est pas obligatoire.It will be noted that, in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the bottom surface which corresponds to the opening 7 is not completely removed, but forms a flap 16 which remains fixed to the box along the edge 10, of so as to prevent the archived documents from escaping, and to provide them with a certain protection by closing the opening 7 at least partially. This modality is not compulsory.

Les figures 5 à 10 sont relatives à des variantes de boîte selon l'invention, dans lesquelles la boîte est obtenue par assemblage de deux éléments, qui peuvent être obtenus chacun par découpage et pliage, et éventuellement collage, d'un flan de matière pliable telle que du carton.Figures 5 to 10 relate to box variants according to the invention, in which the box is obtained by assembling two elements, which can each be obtained by cutting and folding, and optionally gluing, of a foldable blank of material such as cardboard.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent une boîte dont le premier élément 20 comprend le couvercle 4, deux côtés latéraux extérieurs identiques 21 et deux côtés transversaux 22, 23. Une fente d'évacuation du papier est prévue à l'endroit de l'arête reliant le couvercle 4 à l'un des côtés transversaux 23, et des encoches 25, 26 sont prévues de part et d'autre de cette fente 24, l'une sur le couvercle, l'autre sur le côté transversal 23, pour permettre la saisie du papier (ces encoches ne sont pas toujours nécessaires).FIGS. 5 and 6 show a box, the first element 20 of which comprises the cover 4, two identical external lateral sides 21 and two transverse sides 22, 23. A paper discharge slot is provided at the location of the connecting edge the cover 4 at one of the transverse sides 23, and notches 25, 26 are provided on either side of this slot 24, one on the cover, the other on the transverse side 23, to allow the paper entry (these notches are not always necessary).

Le second élément 27 comprend le fond 1 avec une ouverture 7 analogue à celle qu'on voit aux figures 2 à 4, deux côtés latéraux intérieurs 28, un côté transversal intérieur 29, et une plaque rigide 12 opposée au fond. Du côté opposé au côté transversal 29, la plaque rigide ne s'étend pas jusqu'au bout des côtés latéraux 28 mais laisse un espace qui, une fois la boîte montée, servira à faire passer le papier sur la plaque rigide 12 à partir du volume intérieur de la boîte.The second element 27 comprises the bottom 1 with a opening 7 similar to that seen in FIGS. 2 to 4, two interior lateral sides 28, an interior transverse side 29, and a rigid plate 12 opposite the bottom. On the side opposite to the transverse side 29, the rigid plate does not extend to the end of the lateral sides 28 but leaves a space which, once the box is mounted, will be used to pass the paper over the rigid plate 12 from the inside volume of the box.

Le montage se fait en déplaçant les deux éléments perpendiculairement au plan du couvercle et du fond, en prenant soin de faire coïncider le côté transversal 23 du premier élément, qui comporte la fente 24 avec le côté transversal 29 du second élément. Les deux éléments viennent s'emboîter l'un dans l'autre.The assembly is done by moving the two elements perpendicular to the plane of the cover and the bottom, taking care to make the transverse side 23 of the first element coincide, which has the slot 24 with the transverse side 29 of the second element. The two elements fit into each other.

On obtient ainsi une boîte dont l'aspect extérieur et le mode d'utilisation sont essentiellement les mêmes que ce qui a été décrit plus haut.A box is thus obtained whose external appearance and method of use are essentially the same as what has been described above.

Les figures 7 et 8 montrent une autre variante.Figures 7 and 8 show another variant.

Le premier élément 30 comprend un couvercle 4, deux côtés latéraux extérieurs 31, un fond transversal 32 et un fond extérieur 33, qui présente une ouverture 7A. Le second élément 34 comporte un fond extérieur 35 qui présente une ouverture 7B superposable à l'ouverture 7A du fond extérieur du premier élément, deux côtés latéraux intérieurs 36, on côté transversal 37 et une plaque rigide 12 qui ne s'étend pas jusqu'au bout des côtés latéraux intérieurs 36.The first element 30 comprises a cover 4, two outer lateral sides 31, a transverse bottom 32 and an outer bottom 33, which has an opening 7A. The second element 34 has an external bottom 35 which has an opening 7B superimposable on the opening 7A of the external bottom of the first element, two internal lateral sides 36, one transverse side 37 and a rigid plate 12 which does not extend up to at the end of the interior lateral sides 36.

L'ensemble se monte par coulissement du second élément dans le premier, à la façon d'une boîte d'allumettes, en prenant soin d'introduire d'abord la partie du second élément qui ne comporte pas de côté latéral. Dans l'opération, les ouvertures 7A et 7B viennent en coïncidence. La fente de sortie du papier est constituée par l'espace existant entre la plaque rigide 12 et le couvercle, et le papier venant de l'espace intérieur pour recouvrir la plaque rigide 12 passe entre le côté transversal 32 et le bord en retrait de la plaque rigide 12.The assembly is assembled by sliding the second element into the first, like a matchbox, taking care to introduce first the part of the second element which does not have a lateral side. In the operation, the openings 7A and 7B come into coincidence. The paper exit slot is formed by the space existing between the rigid plate 12 and the cover, and the paper coming from the interior space to cover the rigid plate 12 passes between the transverse side 32 and the recessed edge of the rigid plate 12.

Les figures 9 et 10 montrent un premier élément 40, qui comprend un couvercle 4, deux côtés latéraux extérieurs 41 et un fond 1 avec une ouverture 7. Il peut comprendre, en outre, mais non nécessairement, un côté transversal extérieur. Le second élément 42 comprend deux côtés latéraux intérieurs 43, deux côtés transversaux 44, 45 et une plaque rigide 12. La plaque rigide 12 n'atteint pas l'un des côtés latéraux 44 et laisse un passage 46 pour le papier venant de l'espace intérieur sur ladite plaque rigide.Figures 9 and 10 show a first element 40, which comprises a cover 4, two outer lateral sides 41 and a bottom 1 with an opening 7. It may further, but not necessarily, include an outer transverse side. The second element 42 comprises two inner lateral sides 43, two transverse sides 44, 45 and a rigid plate 12. The rigid plate 12 does not reach one of the lateral sides 44 and leaves a passage 46 for the paper coming from the interior space on said rigid plate.

Le montage se fait par coulissement du second élément dans le premier, comme dans le cas des figures 7 et 8. Il convient que le passage 46 soit, dans la boîte montée, à l'opposé de l'encoche 47 prévue dans le couvercle pour tirer le papier.The assembly is done by sliding the second element into the first, as in the case of FIGS. 7 and 8. The passage 46 should be, in the mounted box, opposite the notch 47 provided in the cover for pull the paper.
