Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une structure repliable et déployable en trois dimensions, telle qu' indiquée dans le préambule de la revendication 1. The present invention relates to a structure foldable and deployable in three dimensions, as shown in the preamble of claim 1.
On connaít déjà une structure repliable telle qu'indiquée au début (v. par exemple le US-A-2393772). Ce brevet concerne un dispositif pour déployer des illustrations comprenant un livre, des pages dans ce livre, une page du livre contenant une partie illustrative adaptée pour être séparée de la page du livre le long de sa ligne externe, être convertie en une structure scénique en trois dimensions et être réinsérée dans la page du livre. Cette partie illustrée est adaptée pour être convertie, après enlèvement hors du livre, en une structure scénique autoportante droite et être réaplatie dans son état d'origine pour une réinsertion dans le livre. Une fois la feuille sortie du livre, tous les éléments de décor doivent être repliés, amenés à la main en position, et des pattes doivent être introduites dans des fentes pour maintenir le tout en place. Une même opération en sens inverse est nécessaire avant la réinsertion de la feuille dans le livre.We already know a folding structure as indicated at the beginning (see for example US-A-2393772). This patent relates to a device for deploy illustrations including a book, pages in this book, a page of the book containing an illustrative part adapted to be separated from the book page along its outer line, be converted to a three-dimensional scenic structure and be reinserted into the book page. This illustrated part is adapted to be converted, after removal from the book, in a straight freestanding stage structure and be re-flattened to its original state for reinsertion into the book. Once the sheet is out of the book, all the decorative elements must be folded, brought by hand into position, and legs must be inserted into slots to hold everything in place. The same reverse operation is necessary before reinserting the sheet in the book.
On connaít par ailleurs, par le brevet GB-A-3756 A.D. 1915, une boíte formée d'un fond et d'un couvercle qui sont articulés l'un à l'autre. Les surfaces antérieures du fond et du couvercle sont chacune décorées pour représenter une scène quelconque. Des objets sont aussi fixés sur la surface interne du fond de manière à pouvoir être pliés vers le bas lorsque la boíte est fermée, et à pouvoir être dressés lorsque la boíte est ouverte. Cette boíte ne permet donc aucun déploiement automatique des éléments décoratifs. Ceux-ci tiennent au fond, mais doivent être manipulés à la main à chaque ouverture et à chaque fermeture pour être mis dans la position adaptée.We also know, from GB-A-3756 A.D. 1915, a box formed by a bottom and a cover which are hinged to each other. The front surfaces of the bottom and the lid are each decorated to represent any scene. Objects are also attached to the inner surface of the bottom so that it can be folded down when the box is closed, and able to be erected when the box is opened. This box therefore does not allow any automatic deployment of decorative elements. These stick to the bottom, but must be handled by hand at each opening and each closing to be put in the correct position.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients cités ci-dessus et de mettre au point une structure, en particulier de décor, qui permette lors de son emploi un déploiement automatique des éléments et un repli automatique de ceux-ci, lorsque la structure cesse d'être utilisée. L'objectif est de réaliser ainsi des décors repliables qui peuvent se déployer et se mettre en place sur différents plans de l'espace. Une application particulière, mais non exclusive, est un décor de jeu pour enfant.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks cited above and to develop a structure, in particular of decor, which allows during its use an automatic deployment of elements and an automatic retraction of these, when the structure ceases to be used. The objective is to create foldable decorations which can be deployed and set up on different planes space. A particular, but not exclusive, application is a decoration for children.
Pour résoudre ces problèmes, on a prévu, suivant l'invention, une structure repliable présentant les particularités indiquées dans la revendication 1. Chaque élément déployable dans l'espace peut avoir de nombreuses configurations et être orné librement pour réaliser un décor voulu quelconque.To solve these problems, provision has been made, according to the invention, for a folding structure with the particulars indicated in the claim 1. Each space deployable element may have many configurations and be adorned freely to create a decor wanted any.
D'autres formes de réalisation de la structure pliable suivant l'invention sont indiquées dans les revendications 2 à 6.Other embodiments of the following foldable structure the invention are indicated in claims 2 to 6.
Une boíte comprenant un fond et un couvercle rabattable sur le dessus de la boíte et pourvue d'une structure repliable, suivant l'invention, est indiquée dans les revendications 7 à 11.A box with a bottom and a hinged lid on the above the box and provided with a folding structure, according to the invention is indicated in claims 7 to 11.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la feuille repliable suivant l'invention est attachée à la fois au fond d'une boíte et à l'intérieur d'un couvercle rabattable sur le dessus de la boíte. Le décor se replie ainsi à l'intérieur de la boíte fermée par son couvercle par le seul rabattement du couvercle et se déploie par le relèvement du couvercle. Le couvercle est fixé à la boíte par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation qui garantissent les ouvertures répétées du couvercle sans risque de déchirure du décor déployable.In an advantageous embodiment, the foldable sheet according to the invention is attached to both bottom of a box and inside a hinged lid on top of the box. The decor folds back so inside the box closed by its cover by the only folding of the cover and deploys by raising the cover. The cover is fixed to the box by means of fixing means which guarantee repeated opening of the cover without risk of tearing the deployable decor.
Conformément à un autre aspect de l'invention, le couvercle comporte deux rebords latéraux et un rebord arrière agencés pratiquement perpendiculairement au plan du couvercle de manière à encadrer au moins partiellement les faces latérales et la face arrière de la boíte lorsque le couvercle est rabattu sur la boite, les rebords latéraux du couvercle étant attachés aux faces latérales de la boíte par des moyens de fixation les traversant de manière à permettre au couvercle de pivoter autour d'un axe imaginaire défini par les moyens de fixation précités.In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the cover has two side edges and one edge rear arranged practically perpendicular to the plane of the cover so as to frame at least partially the side faces and the back side of the box when the cover is folded back on the box, the side edges of the cover being attached to the side faces of the box by fixing means passing through them so as to allow the cover to rotate around an imaginary axis defined by aforementioned fixing means.
Grâce au dispositif de fixation suivant l'invention, le couvercle peut pivoter autour de l'axe imaginaire défini par les deux éléments de fixation. Dans son mouvement d'ouverture, le couvercle entraíne et déploie le décor jusqu'à ce qu'il se trouve en position relevée. Les éléments sont alors déployés dans l'espace. Le mouvement de pivotement du couvercle est rendu possible par la forme allongée des ouvertures ménagées dans les faces latérales de la boíte, qui permet au rebord arrière du couvercle de contourner l'arête formée par la jonction de la face arrière avec le fond de la boíte. Le pivotement du couvercle s'arrête lorsque son rebord arrière vient se placer sous et contre le fond de la boíte. La présence de ce rebord arrière maintient le couvercle dans sa position relevée et empêche la déchirure du décor déployé.Thanks to the fixing device according to the invention, the cover can rotate around the imaginary axis defined by the two fixing elements. In his movement opening, the cover drives and deploys the decor until it is in the raised position. The elements are then deployed in space. Movement pivoting of the cover is made possible by the elongated shape of the openings in the side faces of the box, which allows the rim back of the cover to bypass the edge formed by the junction of the rear face with the bottom of the box. The pivoting of the cover stops when its rear edge is placed under and against the bottom of the box. The presence of this rear edge keeps the cover in its raised position and prevents tearing deployed decor.
Durant son pivotement en sens inverse, le couvercle se rabat en repliant automatiquement la structure de décor dans la boíte. Les éléments se replient alors suivant les lignes de pliure.During its pivoting in the opposite direction, the cover flap automatically folding the decor structure in the box. The elements then fold up according to the fold lines.
L'invention est illustrée sur les dessins joints sur la base desquels l'invention va être décrite dans ce qui suit.The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings on the basis of which the invention will be described in what follows.
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une boíte suivant
l'invention, avec couvercle relevé, montrant schématiquement
un décor déployé mais pas encore attaché
dans la boíte.
La figure 2 montre la boite de la figure 1 avec le décor
attaché et déployé.
La figure 3 illustre l'emboitement de la boíte de la
figure 1 dans le couvercle.
La figure 4 représente un mode de réalisation avantageux
de la boíte et de son couvercle.
La figure 5 est une vue éclatée, à plus grande échelle,
d'un exemple de fixation du couvercle sur la boíte montrée
en figure 1.Figure 1 is a perspective view of a box according to the invention, with raised cover, schematically showing a decoration deployed but not yet attached in the box.
Figure 2 shows the box of Figure 1 with the decor attached and deployed.
Figure 3 illustrates the nesting of the box of Figure 1 in the cover.
Figure 4 shows an advantageous embodiment of the box and its cover.
Figure 5 is an exploded view, on a larger scale, of an example of fixing the cover on the box shown in Figure 1.
Se reportant à la figure 1, on voit représentée une
boíte 10 avec son couvercle 20 relevé, prête à recevoir
une structure de décor repliable conforme à l'invention,
schématisée en 30. La structure de décor est
constituée d'une feuille 31 dans laquelle sont découpées
des fentes 32. Celles-ci délimitent plusieurs
éléments déployables 33 qui présentent des lignes de
pliures 34, 35 s'étendant entre deux fentes adjacentes
pour former des plis qui s'ouvrent en sens opposés.
Lorsque la feuille 31 est pliée à angle pratiquement
droit comme montré en figure 1, les éléments 33 sont
déployés et se détachent du fond 31 en formant dans
l'espace plusieurs plans parallèles 36. Un tel décor,
qui peut être réalisé en une multitude de configurations,
physionomies et décorations, est attaché à
l'intérieur 21 du couvercle et au fond 11 de la boite.
L'attachement peut par exemple se faire le long des
bords longitudinaux 37 et 38 du décor.Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a
Le couvercle 20 est fixé à la boíte 10 de manière que
le couvercle puisse être relevé dans une position pratiquement
perpendiculaire au fond de la boíte 10 et se
maintenir dans cette position, comme illustré à la figure
3, sans risque de déchirure du décor 30. Ce but
est atteint, suivant l'invention, grâce à l'agencement
décrit ci-après.The
Le couvercle 20 présente des rebords latéraux 22 qui,
lorsque le couvercle est rabattu sur le dessus de la
boíte, encadre les faces latérales 12 de la boíte, au
moins sur une partie de la largeur de la boíte. Lorsque
le couvercle 20 est relevé comme montré en figure 2,
une partie des rebords latéraux 22 précités encadrent
une partie des faces latérales 12 de la boíte 10. Il
est entendu que les rebords latéraux 22 du couvercle
peuvent ne s'étendre que sur une partie seulement de la
largeur du couvercle. De plus, le couvercle 20 présente
un rebord arrière 23 qui, dans l'exemple représenté,
relie entre eux les deux rebords latéraux 22. Ce rebord
arrière 23 vient se placer sous et contre le fond de la
boíte 10 lorsque le couvercle est relevé. Des moyens de
fixation 40 sont agencés pour attacher chaque rebord
latéral 22 à une face latérale 12 de la boíte 10. Sur
la figure 2, le fond 31 du décor présente sur son bord
latéral droit une découpe 39 dans son angle de pliure.
Cette découpe permet au fond de décor qui couvre ici
toute la longueur du couvercle de se replier, dans
l'exemple illustré, sans accrocher la tête 43 du dispositif
de fixation. Une découpe similaire est prévue sur
le bord latéral gauche (non visible) du fond du décor.The
Chaque moyen de fixation 40 traverse une face latérale
12 de la boíte 10 dans une ouverture allongée 14 ayant
sa longueur suivant la direction longitudinale de la
face latérale (voir figure 4).Each fixing means 40 passes through a
De préférence, chaque moyen de fixation 40 traverse un
rebord latéral 22 du couvercle 20 dans une ouverture
allongée 24 ayant sa direction longitudinale oblique
par rapport à la dimension longitudinale du rebord
latéral (voir figure 4).Preferably, each fixing means 40 passes through a
Grâce au dispositif de fixation suivant l'invention, le
couvercle 20 peut pivoter autour de l'axe imaginaire
défini par les deux éléments de fixation 40. Dans son
mouvement d'ouverture, le couvercle 20 entraíne et déploie
le décor 30 jusqu'à ce qu'il se trouve en position
relevée comme montré à la figure 2. Les éléments
33 sont alors déployés dans l'espace. Le mouvement de
pivotement du couvercle est rendu possible par la forme
allongée des ouvertures ménagées dans les faces latérales
de la boíte 10, qui permet au rebord arrière 23 du
couvercle de contourner l'arête formée par la jonction
de la face arrière 13 avec le fond 11 de la boíte. Le
pivotement du couvercle s'arrête lorsque son rebord
arrière 23 vient se placer sous et contre le fond de la
boíte. La présence de ce rebord arrière 23 maintient le
couvercle dans sa position relevée et empêche la déchirure
du décor 30 déployé.Thanks to the fixing device according to the invention, the
Durant son pivotement en sens inverse, le couvercle 20
se rabat en repliant automatiquement la structure de
décor 30 dans la boíte. Les éléments 33 se replient
alors suivant les lignes de pliure 34, 35.During its pivoting in the opposite direction, the
Dans le mode d'exécution illustré en figure 5, la pièce
de liaison est constituée par exemple de deux éléments
41 et 42 s'emboítant l'un dans l'autre. Chacun des deux
éléments présente une tête, 43 et 44 respectivement.
Lorsque les deux éléments sont emboítés l'un dans l'autre,
les ressauts des deux têtes enserrent l'ensemble
formé par une face latérale de la boite et un rebord
latéral du couvercle, éventuellement avec interposition
d'une rondelle 45. La solidarisation des deux éléments
41 et 42 avec l'autre peut se faire simplement par
clipsage de l'élément femelle 41 sur l'embout 46 de
l'élément mâle 42.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the part
of connection consists for example of two
La boíte peut bien entendu servir à enfermer des accessoires divers utiles pour l'usage du décor (fascicule, disque, cassette ou autres) et pour le jeu.The box can of course be used to enclose accessories various useful for the use of the decoration (booklet, disc, cassette or others) and for the game.
Le mode de réalisation décrit dans ce qui précède et illustré dans les dessins joints est un exemple donné à titre illustratif et l'invention n'est nullement limitée à cet exemple. Toute modification, toute variante et tout agencement équivalent effectués dans les limites fixées par les revendications doivent être considérés comme compris dans le cadre de l'invention.The embodiment described in the above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings is a given example by way of illustration and the invention is in no way limited to this example. Any modification, any variant and any equivalent arrangement made within the limits set by the claims should be considered as understood within the framework of the invention.
