Description

La présente invention concerne les postes de travail et vise plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement un poste opérateur pour salle des marchés, ou un poste de travail similaire. Un poste de travail comporte un bureau, constitué essentiellement par un plateau, ayant un bord avant, devant lequel est placé l'opérateur, un bord arrière et deux côtés, le plateau reposant sur des pieds ou des caissons. Les salles des marchés sont des locaux situés dans les banques, les sociétés de bourse et autres organisations de négoce de produits divers. Les postes de travail de ceux qui traitent ces marchés doivent permettre une activité intense avec le minimum de dérangement pour être rapides et efficaces.The present invention relates to workstations and more particularly but not exclusively relates to an operator station for trading room, or a similar work station. A workstation comprises a desk, essentially consisting of a tray, having a front edge, in front of which the operator is placed, a rear edge and two sides, the tray resting on feet or boxes. The trading rooms are premises located in banks, brokerage firms and other organizations trading in various products. The workstations of those who deal with these markets must allow intense activity with the minimum of disturbance to be quick and efficient.

Un poste opérateur, pour permettre de disposer de plusieurs informations simultanément est généralement équipé, en plus de plusieurs lignes téléphoniques simultanées de plusieurs ordinateurs, par exemple trois ou quatre, comme par exemple le poste qui est représenté sur la figure 1 des dessins ci-joints. Un ordinateur comporte entre autre un écran et une unité centrale. Pour être utilisable, l'écran doit être placé sur le poste de travail, donc face vers le bord avant. En général, l'unité centrale est placée sur la table, en dessous de l'écran, qui est posé dessus.An operator station, to allow multiple information to be available simultaneously, is generally equipped, in addition to several simultaneous telephone lines, of several computers, for example three or four, such as for example the station which is shown in FIG. 1 of the attached drawings. . Among other things, a computer has a screen and a central processing unit. To be usable, the screen must be placed on the workstation, so facing towards the front edge. In general, the central unit is placed on the table, below the screen, which is placed on it.

Sur un poste d'opérateur, déjà très encombré par les téléphones et les écrans, la place manque pour loger les unités centrales ou d'autres équipements, électroniques entre autre. Jusqu'à maintenant, on place ces unités à part, à côté de la table, ou sous celle-ci, dans un petit meuble sur roulette. On s'accommode de cette disposition qui n'est pas toujours pratique, car l'opérateur doit pouvoir accéder à la face avant de l'unité centrale, ainsi qu'à la face arrière, pour défaire, refaire ou modifier les connexions.On an operator station, already very crowded with telephones and screens, there is insufficient space to house the central units or other equipment, electronic among others. Until now, we place these units separately, next to the table, or under it, in a small cabinet on wheels. We accommodate this provision which is not always practical, because the operator must be able to access the front of the central unit, as well as the rear, to undo, redo or modify the connections.

La présente invention a pour objet un poste opérateur présentant une disposition particulièrement avantageuse des unités centrales.The present invention relates to an operator station having a particularly advantageous arrangement of the central units.

Selon l'invention, un poste opérateur pour salle de marchés comportant un plateau de travail avec un bord avant devant lequel s'installe normalement l'opérateur, et sur lequel plateau sont disposés un ou plusieurs écrans d'ordinateurs, dont les unités centrales sont disposées à proximité immédiate, en particulier en dessous du plateau de travail, est caractérisé en ce que les unités centrales sont logées dans un coffre, présentant une face avant et une face arrière, correspondant aux faces avant et arrière des unités centrales, ledit coffre étant rattaché au poste opérateur par une liaison qui permet un mouvement dudit coffre afin de pouvoir présenter au choix la face avant ou la face arrière vers le bord avant du plateau de travail.According to the invention, an operator station for a trading room comprising a work platform with a front edge in front of which the operator normally sits, and on which tray there are arranged one or more computer screens, the central units of which are arranged in the immediate vicinity, in particular below the work tray, is characterized in that the units central units are housed in a trunk, having a front face and a rear face, corresponding to the front and rear faces of the central units, said trunk being attached to the operator station by a link which allows movement of said trunk so that the face can be presented as desired front or rear side toward the front edge of the worktop.

Avantageusement, le coffre est articulé autour d'un axe vertical, de préférence sur un côté de la face avant du coffre et sur un côté d'un bord avant de la table du poste opérateur. Avantageusement, le coffre comporte plusieurs parties de coffre articulées indépendamment les unes des autres autour de l'axe vertical. Le câblage passe près de l'axe et a une longueur suffisante pour accompagner le mouvement du coffre. Les faces avant des unités centrales ou d'autres équipements sont directement accessibles par l'opérateur, et par un simple geste il opère la rotation du coffre et a directement sous la main toutes les connexions des unités centrales, qu'il peut manipuler individuellement sans perte de temps pour rechercher les câbles à déplacer.Advantageously, the trunk is articulated around a vertical axis, preferably on one side of the front face of the trunk and on one side of a front edge of the table of the operator station. Advantageously, the trunk comprises several trunk parts articulated independently of each other around the vertical axis. The wiring passes close to the axis and has a sufficient length to accompany the movement of the trunk. The front panels of the central units or other equipment are directly accessible by the operator, and by a simple gesture he operates the rotation of the trunk and has all the connections of the central units directly at hand, which he can handle individually without wasted time searching for cables to move.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des dessins ci-joints, et qui fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Sur les dessins,

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un poste opérateur selon l'invention, en position de travail, avec le coffre contenant les unités centrales présentant sa face avant vers l'avant du poste opérateur.
  • la figure 2 est une vue du même poste opérateur de la figure 1, avec le coffre basculé pour permettre l'accès aux faces arrière des unités centrales, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue agrandie d'un détail de la figure 2, montrant plus particulièrement le câblage des faces arrière des unités centrales.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the attached drawings, and which will make it clear how the invention can be implemented. In the drawings,
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an operator station according to the invention, in the working position, with the trunk containing the central units having its front face towards the front of the operator station.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the same operator station in FIG. 1, with the boot tilted to allow access to the rear faces of the central units, and
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a detail of Figure 2, showing more particularly the wiring of the rear faces of the central units.

La figure 1 représente un poste opérateur selon l'invention. Un tel poste est utilisable dans une salle de marchés, ainsi que dans des organisations de négoce ayant à traiter des problèmes similaires.FIG. 1 represents an operator station according to the invention. Such a station can be used in a trading room, as well as in trading organizations having to deal with similar problems.

Ce poste comporte un plateau 1, dont éventuellement une partie avant peut être rabattable ou escamotable. Le plateau est supporté par des caissons 2 et 3 qui peuvent contenir des tiroirs de rangement, du câblage, etc. Sur le plateau est disposé un système de téléphone 4, adapté aux relations nécessaires pour les opérations à effectuer par l'utilisateur. Le poste opérateur selon l'invention est équipé d'ordinateurs dont les écrans E1, E2, E3, E4, ici au nombre de quatre, sont disposés auprès du bord arrière du plateau. Les unités centrales U1, U2, etc. correspondantes sont placées dans un coffre 5 organisé de façon particulière selon l'invention.This station comprises a plate 1, of which optionally a front part can be foldable or retractable. The tray is supported by boxes 2 and 3 which can contain storage drawers, wiring, etc. On the tray is arranged a telephone system 4, adapted to the relationships necessary for the operations to be performed by the user. The operator station according to the invention is equipped with computers whose screens E 1 , E 2 , E 3 , E 4 , here four in number, are arranged near the rear edge of the tray. The central units U 1 , U 2 , etc. corresponding are placed in a trunk 5 organized in a particular way according to the invention.

Le coffre, parallélépipède rectangle est articulé autour d'une arête verticale 6, de la face avant 5A du coffre, le long d'une arête verticale 7 de la face avant 2A du caisson 2. Le coffre est avantageusement monté sur des roulettes. Le coffre peut être réalisé de manière unitaire ou comporter plusieurs parties de coffres, telles que des tiroirs, articulées indépendamment les unes des autres autour de l'axe de pivotement 6, 7.The box, a rectangular parallelepiped is articulated around a vertical edge 6, of the front face 5A of the box, along a vertical edge 7 of the front face 2A of the box 2. The box is advantageously mounted on casters. The box can be made in a unitary fashion or include several parts of boxes, such as drawers, articulated independently of each other around the pivot axis 6, 7.

Dans la position représentée sur la figure 1, le coffre présente vers l'avant du poste, la face avant 5A, munie d'ouverture O1, O2, etc. devant chacune desquelles est placée la face avant d'une unité centrale U1, U2, etc. L'utilisateur du poste opérateur peut donc avoir accès, de sa place de travail, directement aux faces avant des unités centrales. Une barre de manoeuvre 8 est fixée sur la face avant du coffre.In the position shown in Figure 1, the trunk presents towards the front of the station, the front face 5A, provided with opening O 1 , O 2 , etc. in front of each of which is placed the front face of a central unit U 1 , U 2 , etc. The user of the operator station can therefore have access, from his work place, directly to the front panels of the central units. An operating bar 8 is fixed on the front face of the boot.

Grâce à l'articulation 6, 7, le coffre peut être pivoté vers l'avant et amené dans une position d'intervention dans laquelle la face arrière du coffre est directement accessible à l'avant du poste opérateur.Thanks to the articulation 6, 7, the trunk can be pivoted forward and brought into an intervention position in which the rear face of the trunk is directly accessible at the front of the operator station.

Sur la figure 2, le coffre est représenté après pivotement d'environ 90 à 120°. L'importance du pivotement dépend des dimensions des éléments du poste, notamment de l'épaisseur du caisson 2. Il est seulement nécessaire que la face arrière 5B de ce caisson soit facilement accessible, comme dans l'exemple de représentation de la figure 2. La face arrière du coffre 5 présente des ouvertures suffisantes pour l'extraction ou l'insertion des unités centrales.In Figure 2, the trunk is shown after pivoting about 90 to 120 °. The extent of the pivoting depends on the dimensions of the elements of the station, in particular on the thickness of the box 2. It is only necessary that the rear face 5B of this box is easily accessible, as in the example of representation in FIG. 2. The rear face of the trunk 5 has sufficient openings for extracting or inserting the central units.

La figure 3 représente plus en détail la face arrière 5B du coffre en position d'intervention. La face latérale interne 2L du caisson 2 est munie de prises 9 reliées à d'autres prises non représentées, disposées sur le plateau 1, au voisinage de la face arrière dudit plateau, auxquelles autres prises sont branchées les écrans. Les faces arrières des unités centrales comportent leurs prises habituelles. Des câbles C1, C2, etc. sont branchés d'une part sur les prises 9, d'autre part sur les prises des unités centrales. Ces câbles ont une longueur suffisante pour permettre le déplacement sans aucune gène du coffre 5. Des moyens de fixation 11, 12 sont prévus sur les faces du coffre pour maintenir les câbles en ordre clair. On voit qu'il est ainsi possible et simple, par exemple d'extraire une unité centrale et de la replacer après intervention, ou de la remplacer par une autre : on bascule le coffre, ou débranche une unité, sans toucher aux autres ni à leurs branchements. On replace une unité et on rebascule le coffre. Le dérangement est réduit au minimum, tant dans la durée de l'intervention que dans la perturbation à l'environnement.Figure 3 shows in more detail the rear face 5B of the trunk in the intervention position. The internal lateral face 2L of the box 2 is provided with sockets 9 connected to other sockets, not shown, arranged on the tray 1, in the vicinity of the rear face of said tray, to which other sockets are connected the screens. The rear faces of the central units have their usual sockets. C 1 , C 2 cables, etc. are connected on the one hand to the sockets 9, on the other hand to the sockets of the central units. These cables have a sufficient length to allow movement without any inconvenience of the trunk 5. Fixing means 11, 12 are provided on the faces of the trunk to keep the cables in clear order. We see that it is thus possible and simple, for example to extract a central unit and replace it after intervention, or to replace it with another: we rock the trunk, or disconnect a unit, without touching the others or their connections. We replace a unit and re-tilt the trunk. The disturbance is reduced to a minimum, both in the duration of the intervention and in the disturbance to the environment.
