Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular bottom case.
  • the problem it aims to solve is to provide a housing that can be mounted from elements assembled by contact, in particular by gluing, so as to avoid as much as possible the conventional welding and drilling operations.
  • the disadvantage of these latter operations is that they must be carried out on a raw raw material, so as not to attack the finishing treatment of the housing. They therefore oblige to plan a subsequent operation for this treatment.
  • a housing comprising a U-shaped cover comprising an upper face and two lateral faces, each lateral face carrying, on an edge furthest from the upper face, a tongue extending along this edge and towards the other lateral face, a bottom having a main face comprising, along two opposite edges, two flanges extending perpendicularly on the same side of this face, the two flanges being spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to that separating the two side faces of the cover, the two tabs of the cover being in surface contact with the main face of the bottom while the two edges of the bottom are in surface contact with the two side faces of the cover respectively, the tabs and the edges being fixed to the corresponding faces, a rear face fixed to the end edges of the cover or of the bottom; and a door constituting a front face opposite to said rear face and fixed to an end edge of the cover or of the bottom so as to be able to pivot.
  • the mailbox shown in FIG. 1 comprises four main parts, namely a cover 1, a bottom 2 intended to be placed under the cover, and two doors 3, only one of which is visible in this figure, intended to be arranged on the side. and on the other side of the cover 1.
  • the cover 1 is in the general shape of a U defined by an upper face 4, extended by two lateral faces 5, 6.
  • Each face of the cover 1 is bordered by a rim 7 of section in the general shape of a U comprising, as shown in FIG. 10, a base 8 and two wings 11, 12.
  • This rim is identical for the three faces of the cover 1.
  • the wing 11 of the rim 7 is formed by a fold of the lateral face 6, as it appears in FIG.
  • the base 8 of the rim 7 extends perpendicular to the lateral face 6 and in the direction of the opposite lateral face 5.
  • the wing 12 of the rim 7 extends parallel to the wing 11 towards the outside of the cover, over a width slightly less than that of the wing 11.
  • the wing 12 of the rim 7 carries a fold 13 extending inside the rim 7 towards the base 8, along the wing 12 so to provide a game 14 with it.
  • the rim 7 of the side faces 5, 6 is such that its base 8 and its wing 12 carrying the fold 13 stop a little before reaching a respective longitudinal free edge 15, 16 of these faces, as can be seen on the Figures 1 and 2. Between the end of the base 8 and the longitudinal free edge 15, 16, the other wing 11 of the rim 7 has a substantially square notch 17 limiting the width of this wing.
  • Each side face 5, 6 of the cover 1 carries, along its longitudinal free edge 15, 16, a tongue 21, 22 respectively which extends over a major part of the length of the cover between two opposite edges 7 of the side face .
  • This tongue extends perpendicularly to the lateral face considered, in the direction of the opposite lateral face.
  • the bottom 2 has a main face 30 surrounded by two straight longitudinal edges 31, 32 extending perpendicular to the main face, on the same side thereof, and two transverse edges 33, 34 of L-shaped section.
  • Each transverse edge 33, 34 carries two wings, namely a wing 35 extending perpendicular to the main face 30, on the same side as the edges.
  • straight longitudinal 31, 32 but over a width slightly greater than that of these, this wing being extended by a wing 36 extending parallel to the main face 30 and towards the outside of the bottom 2.
  • the latter wing 36 carries a fold 37 extending towards the other wing 35, on one side of the wing 36 facing this wing 35.
  • Each straight longitudinal edge 31, 32 of the bottom 2 carries, at each end, a fixing lug s' extending beyond the neighboring transverse edge, the shape of which is arranged to allow it to be housed in the notch 17 of the rim 7 of the cover.
  • Each fixing lug 40 is drilled in the middle of a hole 41.
  • Each door 3 has a main face 42 surrounded, on four sides, by a perpendicular straight edge 43. In two adjacent corners of the door 3, two opposite straight edges 43 have a boss 44 projecting slightly outwards relative to the plan of these edges. Each boss 44 is pierced with a hole 45. Opposite the bosses 44, the door 3 has a lock 46 and an opening closed by a flap 47.
  • the bottom 2 and the cover 1 are assembled by fixing the main face 30 of the first to the tongues 21, 22 of the second. Among different possible fixing means, bonding will now be described. To this end, four beads of adhesive 50 are deposited inside the cover 1, namely two beads along the inner faces of the tongues 21, 22 and two beads 50 parallel to the first but arranged on the lateral faces 5, 6, near the tabs. The bottom 2 is then slid inside the cover 1, according to arrow 51 in FIG. 1 and by any one of the two ends of the cover.
  • the bottom 2 is slid under a lower end of the flanges 7 of the side faces 5, 6 of the cover, so as to go along the tongues 21, 22 to a position where the fixing lugs 40 of the bottom 2 are respectively provided opposite the notches 17 of the cover 1.
  • the lateral faces 5, 6 of the hood are applied against the straight longitudinal edges 31, 32 of the bottom 2.
  • the tabs 21, 22 of the bottom being housed in the notches 17 of the hood.
  • the wings 36 of the bottom carrying the fold 37 are then located opposite the wings 12 of the cover carrying the fold 13 and form therewith a frame surrounding two main openings of the mailbox.
  • the assembly of the two letterbox doors is described below, with reference to one of them.
  • the distance between the outer faces of the bosses 44 of the door 3 is slightly less than that separating the opposite faces of the fixing lugs 40 from the bottom 2.
  • the door 3 is arranged so that these bosses 44 are opposite the fixing lugs 40 from the bottom, their respective holes 45, 41 being aligned, and a rivet 52 is provided so as to pass through these holes.
  • the rivet 52 therefore clamps three thicknesses, namely the side face 5 or 6 of the cover, the fixing lug 40 of the bottom and the boss 44 of the door.
  • the arrangement is such that the door 3 can pivot around a geometric pivot axis 53 coaxial with the rivet 52.
  • the door 3 covers the wing 36 of the bottom carrying the fold 37 and the wing 12 of the flanges 7 of the cover carrying the fold 13.
  • the door 3 is locked in the closed position thanks to the lock 46 cooperating with an inner face of the rim 7 of the upper face 4 of the cover.
  • the second embodiment of the invention differs essentially from the previous one in the way that the door 62 is pivotally mounted on the mailbox.
  • the cover 60 and the bottom 61 of this mailbox are identical to those of the first embodiment, but do not have holes corespondant, in the first embodiment, to those crossed by the rivets 52.
  • the assembly by gluing between the bottom and the cover is identical to that described for the first embodiment.
  • Each door 62 differs from the previous ones by the following elements. She does not has no bosses but has, on a straight edge located laterally relative to the flap 64 of the door, two extensions 65, 66 in the form of a socket, constituting hinge elements.
  • the lock 67 is arranged on an edge opposite to that carrying the sockets 65, 66.
  • Each hinge element consists of a U-shaped section profile comprising a base 71 and two wings 72, 73, l wing 72 having a width substantially equal to that of wing 12 of the abovementioned flange 7 of the cover, the base 71 having a width approximately equal to half that of 8 of said flange 7, and wing 73 being similar to the wing 72.
  • the wing 73 of the hinge element 70 carries, in two end regions, two extensions 75, 76 forming a socket, the common axis of the sockets 77 extending parallel to the hinge element 70 but outside of the U-shape. Furthermore, in a region located between the sockets 75, 76, the wing 73 of the hinge element 70 is absent.
  • the hinge element 70 further comprises two legs 81, 82 extending the base 71 at two opposite ends, these legs extending over a length corresponding substantially to the width of the wing 35 of the L-shaped transverse edges 33, 34 the bottom.
  • the bottom 61 is assembled by bonding to the cover 60 in the same manner as with regard to the first embodiment of the invention.
  • the hinge element 70 is slid into the U-shaped rim 7 of the cover, from the bottom 61.
  • the wing 72 of the hinge element is slid with play between the wing 12 of the edge of the cover and its fold 13, the base 71 of the hinge element pressing against that 8 of the edge of the cover.
  • the hinge element 70 is slid into the cover until its tab 81 introduced in the first stop against the rim 7 of the upper face of the cover. Then the hinge element 70 is crimped onto the rim 7 of the cover by pushing, by crimping jaws known in themselves, the fold 13 of the rim 7 of the cover against the flange 72 of the hinge element 70. In addition to this assembly by crimping, and if desired, it is possible to deposit a layer of adhesive 83 on an external face of the base 71 of the hinge element 70, before its introduction into the rim 7 of the cover.
  • the tab 82 of the hinge element 70 extends in front of the wing 35 of the L-shaped transverse edge of the bottom 61 and therefore prevents the latter from leaving the mailbox, thus ensuring mechanical locking in addition to assembly by gluing.
  • the sockets 65, 66 of the door 62 are arranged opposite and on either side of the sockets 75, 76 of the hinge element 70, and a rod 84 forming a pivot axis is introduced into these four sockets, ensuring pivoting mounting of the door.
  • the mailbox included two opposite doors.
  • a bottom 90 of different constitution comprising a base 91 substantially identical to the bottom 2 above and extended by an upright 92 extending perpendicular to the base.
  • the base 91 has two straight longitudinal edges 93, 94 but only one transverse edge 95 in the shape of an L, placed opposite the upright 92.
  • the upright 92 it has a main face 99 bordered by three straight edges 96, 97, 98 extending perpendicular to this face.
  • the respective edges of the base 91 and of the upright 92 are carried by one face of these turned towards the other of these two elements.
  • the size of the upright 92 corresponds approximately to that of the doors 3, 62 above.
  • beads of glue 50 are arranged, as before, on the tongues 21, 22 of the cover 1 as well as on the lateral faces 5, 6 of the latter and, moreover, a bead of glue 101 is disposed on an outer face of each of the straight edges 96, 97, 98 of the upright 92 of the bottom 90.
  • the bottom 90 is introduced into the cover 1 along the arrow 102 by its base 91 penetrating on one side of the cover opposite the door.
  • the base 91 is fixed by gluing to the side faces 5, 6 of the cover 1 as described above with regard to the bottoms 2, 61.
  • an external face of these straight edges 96, 97, 98 is applied against an inner face of the wings 11 of the edges 7 of the cover, which constitute a fold of the faces of the latter.
