Description

La présente invention concerne des meubles, en particulier des blocs à tiroirs parfois appelés caissons, utilisés pour le rangement dans les bureaux ou les domiciles privés.The present invention relates to furniture, in particular drawer blocks sometimes called boxes, used for storage in offices or private homes.

Les caissons connus sont de forme parallélépipédique rectangle, avec des tiroirs agencés pour permettre le rangement de dossiers suspendus, de matériel de bureau, etc. Ils peuvent être équipés de roulettes et sont souvent utilisés comme dessertes de bureaux;The known boxes are of parallelepiped shape rectangle, with drawers arranged to allow the storage of hanging files, office equipment, etc. They can be fitted with casters and are often used as office trolleys;

Ces caissons, qu'ils soient en bois, en matière synthétique ou en métal, ont une surface supérieure lisse sur laquelle l'utilisateur peut poser, par exemple, un -combiné téléphonique, des dossiers, du courrier ou divers autres objets.These boxes, whether wooden, synthetic or metal, have a smooth top surface on which the user can ask, for example, a -combined telephone, records, mail or various others objects.

Les caissons de ce type présentent l'inconvénient que les objets posés sur leur surface supérieure peuvent facilement tomber, en particulier lors d'un déplacement de caisson ou lors du ménage. En outre, ils sont, lorsque deux caissons sont posés l'un sur l'autre, très instables de sorte que l'utilisation de tels caissons pour former des colonnes est pratiquement impossible.Boxes of this type have the disadvantage that the objects placed on their upper surface can easily fall, especially when moving the cabinet or during cleaning. In addition, they are, when two boxes are placed on top of each other, very unstable so that the use of such boxes to form columns is practically impossible.

Afin de former de telles colonnes, on connaít par US-A-3.506.321. des boítes pourvues de tiroirs et assemblables en superposition. Chaque boíte présente en partie avant et en partie arrière des moyens d'encliquetage propres à coopérer avec une boíte positionnée au-dessus et une boíte positionnée au-dessous, les moyens d'encliquetage de la partie arrière étant prévus sur une plaque élastique de manière à faciliter l'assemblage. Ainsi, la plaque élastique est déformée pour permettre l'encliquetage à l'avant de la boíte puis, lorsqu'elle reprend sa forme initiale, l'encliquetage à l'arrière est assuré. Ce type de boíte nécessite donc de prévoir des moyens d'encliquetage particuliers en partie avant et une plaque élastique en partie arrière. De plus, cette manipulation de la plaque élastique se révèle difficile à mettre en oeuvre lors de l'assemblage de boíte du type d'un caisson de dimensions importantes.In order to form such columns, we know from US-A-3,506,321. boxes fitted with drawers and assembled superimposed. Each box has at the front and in the rear part of the latching means specific to cooperate with a box positioned above and a box positioned below, the latching means of the rear part being provided on an elastic plate of so as to facilitate assembly. So the plate elastic is deformed to allow snap-in the front of the box then, when it resumes its shape initial, click-in at the rear is ensured. This kind of box therefore requires to provide snap means individuals in the front and an elastic plate in rear part. In addition, this manipulation of the plate elastic proves difficult to implement during box assembly of the type of a dimension box important.

On connaít également par FR-A-2.158.058 un bâti pour emmagasinage ou présentation de produits constitué d'une superposition de plateaux reliés par des éléments de supports positionnés et encliquetés aux angles, desdits plateaux. Ce type d'assemblage nécessite de prévoir des moyens d'encliquetage complémentaires sur l'un et l'autre des objets superposés.We also know from FR-A-2.158.058 a frame for storage or presentation of products consisting of superimposition of trays connected by elements of supports positioned and snapped at the corners of said trays. This type of assembly requires the provision of complementary snap-on means on both superimposed objects.

On connait aussi de DE-U-9 209 265 un meuble avec des moyens d'emboítement constitués par deux cadres rapportés respectivement sur la face inférieure et la face supérieure du meuble.We also know from DE-U-9 209 265 a piece of furniture with interlocking formed by two frames reported respectively on the underside and top of the cabinet.

La présente invention vise à pallier les inconvénients de ces meubles connus.The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of these known pieces of furniture.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un meuble du type bloc à tiroirs ou caisson de forme parallélépipédique rectangle muni d'au moins un tiroir. comportant sur sa face supérieure des moyens d'emboítement de la partie inférieure d'un meuble identique, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens d'emboítement sont constitués par une pièce rapportée, de manière démontable ou indémontable, sur la face supérieure dudit meuble, ladite pièce comprenant une surface sensiblement plane et une bordure périphérique inférieure agencée pour s'emboíter sur ladite face supérieure du meuble, ladite surface étant munie de moyens de montage, tels que des trous de passage de vis, sur la face supérieure du meuble et étant entourée d'une bordure périphérique supérieure continue et en saillie à l'extérieur vers le haut par rapport audit meuble, ladite pièce étant agencée pour coopérer à emboítement avec la partie inférieure d'un meuble identique.To this end, the subject of the invention is a block type furniture or form box rectangular box with at least one drawer. comprising on its upper face nesting means of the lower part of an identical piece of furniture, characterized in that said nesting means are constituted by an attached part, in a removable or non-removable manner, on the upper face of said piece of furniture, said piece comprising a substantially planar surface and a border lower device arranged to fit onto said upper side of the cabinet, said surface being provided with mounting means, such as screw through holes, on the upper side of the cabinet and being surrounded by a continuous upper peripheral ridge projecting from the outside upwards with respect to said piece of furniture, said piece of furniture part being arranged to cooperate with interlocking with the lower part of an identical piece of furniture.

La bordure périphérique supérieure de la pièce rapportée du meuble selon l'invention permet de maintenir les objets posés sur le caisson ou, lorsqu'on désire construire une colonne, de stabiliser l'empilement grâce à l'emboítement de la portion inférieure du caisson, bien entendu démunie d'éventuelles roulettes.The upper peripheral border of the insert of the furniture according to the invention makes it possible to hold objects placed on the box or, when you want to build a column, to stabilize the stack thanks to the nesting of the lower portion of the box, of course poor any casters.

De préférence, la portion frontale de la bordure supérieure est plus basse que le reste de ladite bordure supérieure.Preferably, the front portion of the upper border is lower than the rest of said upper border.

Avantageusement, ladite surface entourée par ladite bordure supérieure est striée, cette surface constituant alors avec la bordure supérieure un réceptacle à courrier.Advantageously, said surface surrounded by said border upper is striated, this surface then constituting with the upper border a mail receptacle.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective explosée d'un caisson et d'un dispositif de transformation selon un exemple de réalisation préféré de l'invention
  • la figure 2 est une vue schématique en perspective explosée d'une colonne constituée de deux caissons et d'un dispositif de transformation selon la figure 1 et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'une portion de bord du dispositif de transformation des figures 1 et 2.
    • The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a box and a processing device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a column made up of two boxes and of a transformation device according to FIG. 1 and
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an edge portion of the transformation device of FIGS. 1 and 2.

    • Dans la forme de réalisation de l'invention représentée au dessin, un caisson 1 peut être muni d'un dispositif de transformation 2 démontable. Il est cependant également du domaine de l'invention de prévoir que le dispositif de transformation 2 est monté à demeure sur le caisson 1 ou un caisson (non représenté) dont la surface supérieure comporte les caractéristiques de la présente invention, la face supérieure du caisson étant alors aménagée d'origine à cet effet.In the embodiment of the invention shown in drawing, a box 1 can be fitted with a Removable transformation 2. However, it is also field of the invention to provide that the device transformation 2 is permanently mounted on box 1 or a box (not shown) whose upper surface includes the features of the present invention, the upper side of the box then being originally fitted to this effect.

    Le caisson 1 comprend des tiroirs et peut, de manière optionnelle, être muni de roulettes (non représentées) permettant un déplacement aisé.The box 1 comprises drawers and can, so optional, be fitted with casters (not shown) allowing easy movement.

    Dans l'exemple représenté, un dispositif de transformation 2 est muni d'une bordure périphérique continue supérieure 3, 4 et d'une bordure périphérique continue inférieure 5. La portion frontale 4 de la bordure supérieure est légèrement plus basse que le reste de la bordure 3, afin de former, avec un fond 6 du dispositif de transformation 2, l'équivalent d'un réceptacle à courrier. Le fond 6 comporte des nervures 7 sur sa surface supérieure et est muni de quatre trous 8.In the example shown, a transformation device 2 has an upper continuous peripheral border 3, 4 and a lower continuous peripheral border 5. The front portion 4 of the upper border is slightly lower than the rest of border 3, in order to forming, with a bottom 6 of the transformation device 2, the equivalent of a mail receptacle. The bottom 6 has ribs 7 on its upper surface and is provided with four holes 8.

    Les dimensions de la bordure périphérique supérieure 3, 4 correspondent à celles de la périphérie extérieure de la base 9 du caisson 1 de manière que, lorsqu'un caisson 1' (figure 3) identique au caisson 1, est gerbé dessus, sa base 9' s'emboíte dans la bordure périphérique supérieure 3, 4 du dispositif de transformation 2. Pour renforcer le maintien des deux caissons 1, 1' ainsi gerbés l'un sur l'autre, il peut être avantageux de prévoir sur tout ou partie de la périphérique interne de la bordure supérieure 3, 4 des saillies de serrage et/ou d'incliner cette bordure 3, 4 vers l'intérieur.The dimensions of the upper peripheral border 3, 4 correspond to those of the outer periphery of the base 9 of box 1 so that when a box 1 ' (Figure 3) identical to box 1, is stacked on top, its base 9 'fits into the upper peripheral border 3, 4 of the transformation device 2. To strengthen the holding the two boxes 1, 1 'thus stacked one on the other, it may be advantageous to plan on all or part of the inner peripheral of the upper border 3, 4 clamping projections and / or tilting this border 3, 4 inward.

    Les dimensions de la bordure périphérique inférieure 5 sont choisies telles que cette bordure 5 s'emboíte sur la face supérieure 10 du caisson 1. Le dispositif de transformation 2 peut être fixé au caisson 1 par des vis ou des boulons traversant les trous 8 du fond 6 et des trous 11 ménagés dans la face supérieure 10 du caisson 1, lesquels trous 11 peuvent être masqués, de manière classique, par des opercules 12 (voir figure 3).The dimensions of the lower peripheral border 5 are chosen such that this border 5 fits on the face upper 10 of box 1. The transformation device 2 can be fixed to the casing 1 by screws or bolts passing through the holes 8 in the bottom 6 and holes 11 made in the upper face 10 of the box 1, which holes 11 can be masked, in a conventional manner, by covers 12 (see Figure 3).

    Le dispositif de transformation 2 peut être réalisé en tout matériau et par tout procédé adéquat. Il est de préférence constitué d'une matière synthétique moulée, par exemple du polypropylène.The transformation device 2 can be produced in any material and by any suitable process. It is preferably made of a molded synthetic material, for example polypropylene.
