Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new method of distributing and collecting parcels in an urban environment and to a device for implementing this method.
  • Low capacity vehicles are generally used for this purpose, which increase the flow of traffic and who have to park to load and unload their parcels, which interrupts traffic.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks using simple, inexpensive and easy to implement means.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method of distributing parcels in an urban environment, characterized in that: the parcels are sorted so as to distribute them according to the districts of their destination; that packages for a neighborhood are placed in a closed container, provided with at least one door and the dimensions of which are such that it can be easily loaded and unloaded from a vehicle; that the container thus loaded is brought, preferably during reduced traffic hours, to the neighborhood where the packages it contains are to be distributed; that the container is placed on a support device intended to receive it, after which the vehicle which transported it can be released; and that using means that can be moved manually on a sidewalk, such as a cart or a hand truck, the packages contained in the container are delivered.
  • containers are used which occupy a floor area corresponding substantially to that of a car, these containers can be easily transported on a van which can load and unload them using an independent lifting means.
  • the support device and the container are provided with locking means which cooperate to prevent the removal of the container from its support by unauthorized persons.
  • the support device intended to receive the container is raised relative to the roadway or has terminals so as to prevent vehicles from being able to park on the support device when the latter is not used in accordance with the 'invention.
  • the support devices intended to receive the containers are advantageously placed along a sidewalk where they occupy substantially the parking space of a vehicle, which constitutes for traffic a minor annoyance compared to the delivery methods which are currently used.
  • the present invention also relates to a device intended to implement the method which has been described above, this device being characterized by the combination of a container provided with at least one door, capable of being placed on a vehicle, and a support device attached to the ground intended to receive the container.
  • the container is provided at its upper part with a hooking means by which it can be moved.
  • the support device and the container are provided with cooperating locking means, making it possible to prohibit the removal of the container from its support device by unauthorized persons.
  • the support device includes guide means to facilitate correct positioning of the container.
  • the containers are stackable and lockable to each other.
  • FIG. 1 a light vehicle 1 with a hydraulic lifting device, which supports a container 3 placed on its tray 4. There is also schematically shown a hooking device 5 fixed to the upper part of the container so that the latter can be gripped by the hook 6 of the lifting device 2.
  • FIG. 2 There is schematically shown in Figure 2, how a container 3 provided with its attachment device 5 and doors 6 and 7, can be placed on the roadway 8, along a sidewalk 9, on a support device 10 delimited at each angle by stops 11 whose rounded shapes serve to guide the container during its descent.
  • Figure 3 a variant of the container support device of Figure 2 in which this device 10 is raised to a height substantially corresponding to that of the sidewalk 9, so as to prevent vehicles can park at the place to be occupied by a container.
  • a locking device secures the container on its support device.
  • This locking device can for example be constituted by lugs integral with the container and capable of projecting horizontally outward, to engage in corresponding orifices integral with the support device.
  • the locking device unlocks automatically when the container is lifted by the gripping member 5.
  • a lock operating with a key or a code may prohibit the unlocking of any person not authorized to handle the device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows how the van 1 can, with its lifting machine 2, set up and remove a container 3 despite the presence of cars which park immediately in the vicinity of the container support device.
  • containers stackable on top of each other which can optionally be made integral by the locking means already used for their attachment to the support devices.
  • This characteristic can be particularly useful for the storage and transport of containers.
  • the vehicles used during off-peak hours to move the containers are conventional vehicles, which can be used for other purposes the rest of the time.
  • the vehicles used can be not only vans but also larger trucks.
  • the loading and unloading of containers according to the invention can be carried out using an independent lifting device, mounted for example on a vehicle specially fitted out for this purpose.
  • the lifting device can be of the hydraulic or other type, for example electrical or mechanical.
