Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un meuble comprenant au moins un tiroir.The present invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising at least one drawer.
On connaît des meubles comprenant des tiroirs coulissant à l'intérieur du corps du meuble, au moyen de glissières ou de galets de roulement solidaires des flancs du meuble. Ces meubles comprennent en outre des dispositifs pour limiter la course de chaque tiroir vers l'extérieur du corps afin d'interdire la chute ou le renversement du tiroir.Furniture is known comprising drawers sliding inside the body of the piece of furniture, by means of runners or rollers integral with the sides of the piece of furniture. These pieces of furniture also include devices to limit the travel of each drawer towards the outside of the body in order to prevent the drawer from falling or overturning.
Si l'utilisateur notamment un jeune enfant, appuie sur un tiroir placé en position tiré, il exerce sur le tiroir une force appliquée en porte-à-faux par rapport au corps du meuble et risque de faire basculer celui-ci. En outre il exerce sur les éléments de coulissement un effort qui risque de les détériorer.If the user, in particular a young child, presses on a drawer placed in the pulled position, it exerts on the drawer a force applied in overhang with respect to the body of the cabinet and risks tipping it over. In addition, it exerts on the sliding elements an effort which risks damaging them.
Ces problèmes sont particulièrement importants avec les jeunes enfants mis au contact de meubles à tiroirs dans les écoles maternelles et les garderies. En effet, les enfants sont tentés de tirer les tiroirs en escalier et de jouer en montant dessus.These problems are particularly important with young children in contact with drawer furniture in kindergartens and daycare centers. Indeed, children are tempted to pull the drawers up the stairs and play while climbing on them.
L'invention a donc pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en réalisant un meuble à tiroirs permettant de prendre appui sur les tiroirs sans aucun danger pour l'utilisateur et sans risque de détériorer le meuble.The invention therefore aims to overcome these drawbacks by providing a cabinet with drawers to support the drawers without any danger to the user and without risk of damaging the cabinet.
Selon l'invention on propose un meuble comprenant un corps ayant un plateau supérieur et une base définissant un plan d'assise du meuble, et au moins un tiroir mobile par rapport au corps, chaque tiroir comportant deux parois latérales parallèles opposées, et deux organes supports fixés rigidement au tiroir, ces organes supports s'étendant jusqu'au plan d'assise du meuble, et étant disposés respectivement au voisinage des deux parois latérales du tiroir.According to the invention there is provided a piece of furniture comprising a body having an upper plate and a base defining a seat plane of the piece of furniture, and at least one drawer movable relative to the body, each drawer having two opposite parallel side walls, and two members. supports rigidly fixed to the drawer, these support members extending to the seating plane of the cabinet, and being arranged respectively in the vicinity of the two side walls of the drawer.
Grâce à ces organes supports, chaque tiroir repose en permanence directement sur le sol. Si un utilisateur s'appuie sur un tiroir tiré, celui-ci n'exerce pas de force en porte à faux sur le corps du meuble qui reste donc en appui stable. En outre on évite ainsi l'effet de levier sur les éléments de coulissement.Thanks to these support members, each drawer permanently rests directly on the floor. If a user leans on a drawer, it does not exercise force cantilevered on the body of the cabinet which therefore remains in stable support. In addition, the lever effect on the sliding elements is thus avoided.
Chaque tiroir peut être associé à des éléments classiques de coulissement par rapport au corps du meuble. Cependant, le meuble pourra aussi avantageusement être dépourvu de tels éléments de sorte que les tiroirs ne sont pas solidaires du corps d'une façon ou d'une autre.Each drawer can be associated with conventional sliding elements relative to the body of the cabinet. However, the furniture can also advantageously be devoid of such elements so that the drawers are not integral with the body in one way or another.
Selon une version avantageuse de l'invention, les organes supports comprennent des panneaux formant les parois latérales des tiroirs correspondants.According to an advantageous version of the invention, the support members comprise panels forming the side walls of the corresponding drawers.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description qui va suivre de deux modes préférés de réalisation. Aux figures annexées données à titre d'exemples non limitatifs :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un meuble selon un premier mode de réalisation avec arrachement ;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant le plan horizontal II-II de la figure 1, et
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant un plan de symétrie verticale d'un meuble selon un deuxième mode de réalisation.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a piece of furniture according to a first embodiment with cutaway;
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view along the horizontal plane II-II of FIG. 1, and
- Figure 3 is a sectional view along a vertical plane of symmetry of a piece of furniture according to a second embodiment.
En référence aux figures 1 et 2 le meuble comprend un corps 4 constitué d'un plateau supérieur horizontal 6, d'un fond vertical 8 et de deux panneaux latéraux parallèles opposés 10. Par leurs chants inférieurs, le fond 8 et les panneaux 10 définissent un plan d'assise 14 du meuble.Referring to Figures 1 and 2 the cabinet comprises a
Le meuble comprend trois tiroirs respectivement supérieur 16, médian 18 et inférieur 20. Ces tiroirs sont mobiles en translation par rapport au corps et disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre. Sur les figures 1 et 2, les tiroirs 16 et 20 sont représentés en position rentrée dans le corps 4. Le tiroir 18 est représenté en position tirée, c'est-à-dire partiellement à l'extérieur du corps 4.The cabinet comprises three drawers respectively upper 16,
Chaque tiroir comprend un fond 22, une paroi avant 24, une paroi arrière 26 et deux parois latérales parallèles opposées 28 fixées rigidement au tiroir. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré les parois latérales 28 sont formées par des panneaux qui s'étendent jusqu'au plan d'assise 14 et réalisent ainsi des organes supports des tiroirs correspondants. Les tiroirs 16, 18, 20 forment ainsi des tiroirs gigognes encastrés les uns dans les autres.Each drawer comprises a
Les panneaux 28 sont équipés sur leur bord inférieur de roulettes 44 qui facilitent le coulissement des tiroirs.The
Au voisinage de leur bord inférieur les panneaux 28 comportent des lumières 30 qui s'étendent parallèlement à la trajectoire des tiroirs et dans lesquelles est engagée une traverse 46 fixée par ses extrémités dans les panneaux latéraux 10 du corps 4. La traverse 46 réalise une butée pour les tiroirs lorsque ceux-ci sont tirés afin d'éviter que ceux-ci ne soient totalement désengagés du corps 4. Cette fonction de butée apparaît mieux sur la figure 2 qui est une vue en coupe par un plan horizontal passant par les lumières 30. Lorsque le corps 4 ne comprend pas de fond la traverse 46 joue le rôle de butée lorsque le tiroir est rentré.In the vicinity of their lower edge, the
Pour monter le meuble, on glisse les tiroirs dans le corps 4 et on enfile la traverse 46 dans les panneaux latéraux du corps 4 et dans les lumières 30.To assemble the cabinet, the drawers are slid into the
La figure 3 présente un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les éléments analogues portent les mêmes références. Les tiroirs 16 et 20 sont rentrés et le tiroir 18 est tiré au maximum. Dans ce mode de réalisation les lumières 30 débouchent sur le bord inférieur des panneaux 28 et délimitent une partie d'appui avant 34 et une partie d'appui arrière 36 qui encadrent la traverse 46. Par ailleurs les parois latérales de chaque tiroir comportent une découpe 11 et la paroi arrière 26 a une hauteur réduite de sorte que chaque tiroir comporte une portion arrière ayant un bord supérieur espacé du plateau supérieur 6 ou du fond 22 du tiroir disposé immédiatement au-dessus, la hauteur h de l'encoche 11 étant de préférence légèrement supérieure à la distance d de la butée 46 par rapport au plan d'assise 14.FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention in which the similar elements have the same references. The
Cette configuration de l'arrière de chaque tiroir permet, si on le désire, de dégager totalement le tiroir du corps du meuble. Pour cela, on tire le tiroir jusqu'à le placer en butée contre la traverse 46 comme le tiroir médian 18 sur la figure 3. On soulève ensuite le tiroir jusqu'à ce que les parties d'appui arrière 36 échappent de la butée 46. Il est alors possible de tirer totalement le tiroir.This configuration of the back of each drawer allows, if desired, to completely disengage the drawer from the body of the cabinet. For this, the drawer is pulled out until it places it in abutment against the
Dans un mode de réalisation comme dans l'autre, lorsqu'un tiroir est en position totalement tirée ou dans une position intermédiaire quelconque, il repose sur le sol par ses organes supports. L'utilisateur peut donc prendre appui sur le tiroir en toute sécurité sans risque de basculement du meuble.In one embodiment as in the other, when a drawer is in the fully pulled out position or in any intermediate position, it rests on the ground by its support members. The user can therefore safely lean on the drawer without the risk of the cabinet tipping over.
Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications et améliorations sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci. On pourra notamment varier le nombre, la disposition et la forme des tiroirs et des organes supports. On pourra par exemple fixer les organes supports de chaque tiroir à son plateau horizontal pour que les organes supports s'étendent sous celui-ci.Of course, many modifications and improvements can be made to the invention without departing from the scope thereof. In particular, the number, arrangement and shape of the drawers and the support members may be varied. We can for example fix the support members of each drawer to its horizontal plate so that the support members extend below it.
On pourra également prévoir des organes supports coudés ayant une extrémité fixée à la paroi latérale et une branche s'étendant vers le sol en étant écartée de la paroi latérale. La traverse 46 pourra également être remplacée par un autre dispositif formant une butée.It is also possible to provide angled support members having one end fixed to the side wall and a branch extending towards the ground while being spaced from the side wall. The
Dans le cas de tiroirs devant être dégagés du corps on pourra également prévoir de simplement supprimer la traverse 46, ou monter celle-ci de façon amovible. On pourra également prévoir des encoches 11 dans le tiroir supérieur seulement, les autres tiroirs pouvant alors être soulevés après le retrait du tiroir supérieur. On remarquera à ce propos que les encoches doivent avoir une longueur suffisante pour que le bord avant de l'encoche apparaisse à l'extérieur du corps lorsque le tiroir est dans sa position tirée. La longueur de l'encoche n'est pas limitée et l'espace de dégagement peut être prévu en prévoyant une paroi latérale de hauteur limitée sur toute la longueur du tiroir.In the case of drawers to be cleared from the body we can also plan to simply remove the
