Description

L'invention a trait à un support d'étiquette d'identification de dossiers suspendus et à un dossier suspendu comprenant un tel support.The invention relates to an identification label support. of suspended files and a suspended file comprising such support.

Lorsque des dossiers suspendus sont installés à l'intérieur d'une armoire ou d'un placard, il est connu de les munir chacun d'une étiquette d'identification, celle-ci étant portée par un support généralement réalisé en un matériau plastique et relié à l'une au moins des faces principales du dossier suspendu constituées par une feuille de carton. Il est essentiel pour le confort de l'utilisateur que ces étiquettes d'identification soit aisément lisibles. La facilité de lecture d'une étiquette d'identification dépend essentiellement de sa largeur. Or, dans le cas où un grand nombre de dossiers de faible épaisseur sont suspendus sous une étagère d'une armoire ou d'un placard, leur encombrement transversal est déterminé par la largeur de leurs étiquettes respectives. En effet, la largeur de l'étiquette définit la largeur du support et, dans le cas où des dossiers de faible épaisseur sont utilisés, la largeur du support de l'étiquette est supérieure à celle du dossier suspendu lui-même. Ainsi, si l'étiquette est trop large, le nombre de dossiers susceptibles d'être suspendus à une étagère est trop faible et une installation avec une densité optimale des dossiers suspendus ne peut pas être envisagée.When hanging folders are installed inside a cabinet or a closet, it is known to provide them each with an identification label, this being worn by a support generally made of a plastic material and connected to at least one of the main sides of the backrest suspended formed by a sheet of cardboard. It is essential for the convenience of the user that these labels easily readable. Ease of reading of an identification label depends essentially on its width. However, in the event that a large number of thin are hanging under a shelf of a cabinet or a cupboard, their transverse dimensions are determined by the width of their respective labels. Indeed, the width of the label defines the width of the support and, in if thin files are used, the width of label holder is greater than that of folder hanging itself. So if the label is too large, the number of files likely to be suspended at a shelf is too low and an installation with a optimal density of hanging folders cannot be considered.

D'autre part, il est connu qu'une armoire ou un placard contenant des dossiers suspendus peut être accédé selon une direction qui n'est pas perpendiculaire à sa face avant. Ceci est en particulier le cas lorsque le placard ou l'armoire en question est installé dans un coin d'une pièce ou lorsque l'utilisateur accède aux dossiers suspendus à partir d'un emplacement déterminé, par exemple défini par son fauteuil de bureau, qui n'est pas exactement en face de l'armoire ou du placard en question. Dans ce cas, son angle de vision des étiquettes d'identification des dossiers suspendus ne correspond pas avec la direction orthogonale pour laquelle sont définis les supports d'étiquettes de l'art antérieur.On the other hand, it is known that a wardrobe or closet containing hanging files can be accessed according to a direction which is not perpendicular to its front face. This is particularly the case when the cupboard or cabinet in question is installed in a corner of a room or when the user accesses the suspended files from a determined location, for example defined by his wheelchair desk, which is not exactly opposite the cupboard or closet in question. In this case, his viewing angle of suspension folder identification labels does not match not with the orthogonal direction for which are defined the label carriers of the prior art.

Or, les gaines transparentes des supports d'étiquette ont une géométrie apte à produire, dans une direction comprise dans leur plan de symétrie, un effet de loupe permettant une meilleure lisibilité des étiquettes. L'utilisateur qui accède de biais au dossier suspendu ne bénéficie pas de cet effet de loupe et peut être gêné par la réflection de la lumière sur la surface externe des gaines des supports en question.However, the transparent sheaths of the label supports have a geometry capable of producing, in a direction included in their plane of symmetry, a magnifying glass effect allowing better readability of labels. The user who accesses from bias in the suspended file does not benefit from this magnifying glass and may be hampered by the reflection of light on the external surface of the sheaths of the supports in question.

L'invention résoud l'ensemble de ces problèmes et vise à fournir un support d'étiquette d'identification permettant la suspension de dossiers aux étagères d'une armoire ou d'un placard avec une densité maximale alors que la lisibilité des étiquettes peut être améliorée en augmentant leur largeur. Un autre but de l'invention est de permettre une bonne lisibilité des étiquettes d'identification des dossiers suspendus, y compris dans le cas où, l'utilisateur accède de biais aux dossiers suspendus.The invention solves all of these problems and aims to provide an identification label support allowing the hanging files on shelves in a cupboard or closet with maximum density while the readability of labels can be improved by increasing their width. A another object of the invention is to allow good readability identification labels for suspended files, including understood in the case where, the user accesses the files suspended.

Dans cet esprit, l'invention concerne un support d'étiquette d'identification de dossier suspendu comprenant une gaine transparente et un corps relié au dossier, caractérisé en ce que ladite gaine est orientable par pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical.In this spirit, the invention relates to a label support suspension file identification including a transparent sheath and a body connected to the backrest, characterized in that said sheath is orientable by pivoting around a substantially vertical axis.

Grâce à l'invention, la gaine et l'étiquette qu'elle contient peuvent être orientées pour n'être pas perpendiculaires aux faces principales du dossier suspendu, de sorte que l'encombrement transversal du support d'étiquette est réduit, ce qui facilite la mise en place d'un grand nombre de dossiers suspendu sous une étagère. En outre, il est possible d'orienter la gaine, et donc l'étiquette d'identification, dans la direction de lecture privilégiée par l'utilisateur, ce qui facilite aussi sa lecture.Thanks to the invention, the sheath and the label which it contains can be oriented so as not to be perpendicular on the main faces of the hanging file, so that the transverse size of the label support is reduced, which facilitates the establishment of a large number of files hanging under a shelf. In addition, it is possible to orient the sheath, and therefore the identification label, in the direction privileged reading by the user, which facilitates also his reading.

Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, le support d'étiquette comprend des moyens d'immobilisation de la gaine dans une position orientée par rapport à son axe de pivotement, de sorte que la gaine est maintenue dans la position choisie par l'utilisateur. On peut prévoir que ces moyens d'immobilisation comprennent une pluralité d'encoches aptes à coopérer avec au moins un ergot de blocage, ces encoches étant par exemple disposées côte à côte dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement de la gaine.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the support label includes means for immobilizing the sheath in a position oriented relative to its pivot axis, so that the sheath is kept in the chosen position by the user. We can predict that these means of immobilization comprise a plurality of notches capable of cooperating with at least one locking lug, these notches being by example arranged side by side in a plane substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis of the sheath.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, la gaine peut être pourvue d'au moins une extension portant les encoches alors que le corps du support porte au moins un ergot de blocage. On peut, en outre, prévoir que le corps comprend deux parties reliées entre elles par une charnière définissant l'axe de pivotement.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the sheath can be provided with at least one extension carrying the notches while the support body carries at least one lug blocking. We can, moreover, provide that the body comprises two parts connected together by a hinge defining the pivot axis.

Selon une variante avantageuse de l'invention, la gaine peut être pourvue d'encoches sur une extrémité alors que le corps comprend à son extrémité voisine des encoches, une patte portant un ergot de blocage.According to an advantageous variant of the invention, the sheath can be provided with notches on one end while the body includes at its adjacent end notches, a tab carrying a locking pin.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la gaine est pourvue d'au moins une extension portant un ergot alors que le corps du support d'étiquette porte les encoches. Dans ce cas, et selon un aspect particulièrement avantageux de l'invention, les encoches peuvent s'étendre sur la majeure partie de la hauteur du support de l'invention.According to another embodiment of the invention, the sheath is provided with at least one extension carrying a lug while the body of the label holder carries the notches. In this case, and according to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the notches can extend over the major part of the height of the support of the invention.

Enfin, l'invention concerne aussi un dossier suspendu comprenant un support conforme à l'invention.Finally, the invention also relates to a suspended file comprising a support according to the invention.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre de cinq modes de réalisation d'un support d'étiquette d'identification de dossier suspendu conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

A la figure 1, on a représenté une armoire 1 comprenant plusieurs dossiers suspendus 2, cette armoire étant disposée dans un coin d'une pièce formée par deux murs 3 et 4.In Figure 1, there is shown a cabinet 1 comprising several hanging files 2, this cabinet being arranged in a corner of a room formed by two walls 3 and 4.

Lorsqu'un utilisateur accède aux dossiers les plus éloignés de l'angle des murs 3 et 4, il peut le faire selon une direction F sensiblement perpendiculaire au fond de l'armoire 1. Pour ce faire, la porte droite la de l'armoire peut être ouverte à plus de 90°. Cependant, lorsque l'utilisateur désire accéder aux dossiers suspendus situés du côté de l'angle des murs 3 et 4, il accède à ceux-ci selon une direction F' orientée obliquement par rapport au fond de l'armoire 1, en particulier à cause de l'espace occupé par la seconde porte 1b de l'armoire 1.When a user accesses the files furthest from the corner of walls 3 and 4, he can do so in a direction F substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the cabinet 1. To do this, the right door la of the cabinet can be opened more than 90 °. However, when the user wishes to access the hanging files located on the corner side of the walls 3 and 4, he accesses them in a direction F 'oriented obliquely with respect to the bottom of the cabinet 1, in particular at because of the space occupied by the second door 1 b of the cabinet 1.

Les dossiers suspendus 2 comprennent chacun un support 5 dans lequel peut être glissée une étiquette d'identification 10 sur laquelle sont portées les références ou le titre des documents contenus dans chaque dossier suspendu 2.The hanging files 2 each include a support 5 in which can be slipped an identification label 10 on which the references or the title of the documents contained in each suspended file 2.

Conformément à l'invention, les supports 5 sont orientables par pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical, de sorte que les supports d'étiquette situés sur la gauche de l'armoire 1 peuvent être tournés de façon à être sensiblement perpendiculaires à la direction F' ce qui facilite leur lecture par un utilisateur les observant dans cette direction.According to the invention, the supports 5 are orientable by pivoting around a substantially vertical axis, so that the label holders located on the left of the cabinet 1 can be rotated so as to be substantially perpendicular to the direction F 'which facilitates their reading by a user watching them in that direction.

En outre, la place occupée par chaque support 5 dans une direction parallèle au fond de l'armoire 1 est inférieure à la largeur de chaque support 5 puisqu'elle correspond à la largeur de chaque support 5 multipliée par le cosinus de l'angle a d'orientation du support 5 par rapport à un plan parallèle au fond de l'armoire 1 passant par l'axe de pivotement des supports. Ceci permet donc un gain de place substantiel, car les dossiers situés dans la partie de l'armoire dans laquelle les supports 5 sont orientés obliquement peuvent être installés avec une grande densité, et ce, y compris dans le cas où le support d'étiquette et l'étiquette ont une largeur supérieure à la largeur propre de chaque dossier suspendu.In addition, the space occupied by each support 5 in a direction parallel to the bottom of cabinet 1 is less than the width of each support 5 since it corresponds to the width of each support 5 multiplied by the cosine of the angle a orientation of the support 5 with respect to a plane parallel to the bottom of the cabinet 1 passing through the pivot axis of the supports. This therefore saves substantial space, because the files located in the part of the cabinet in which supports 5 are oriented obliquely can be installed with a high density, and this, including in the case where the label holder and label have greater width to the proper width of each hanging file.

A titre d'exemple, on peut noter que la largeur des étiquettes habituellement utilisées pour les dossiers suspendus est de 6,35 mm (1/4 de pouce), ce qui correspond au réglage d'interligne 1,5 sur une machine à écrire classique. Chacune de ces étiquettes est entourée par une gaine transparente 6 dont les dimensions extérieures définissent l'encombrement transversal du support 5. Dans le cas d'une étiquette dont la largeur est de 8,47 mm (1/3 de pouce) correspondant à un écartement de deux interlignes sur une machine à écrire classique, lorsque cette étiquette est orientée obliquement selon un angle de 35°, son encombrement dans un plan parallèle au fond de l'armoire 1 est égal à la dimension extérieure de la gaine transparente multipliée par le cosinus de 35° soit 0,82 ce qui, si la gaine transparente n'a pas une épaisseur supérieure à celle utilisée avec une étiquette de 6,35 mm, implique un encombrement transversal plus faible qu'avec l'étiquette utilisée ultérieurement.As an example, it can be noted that the width of the labels usually used for hanging files is 6.35 mm (1/4 inch), which corresponds to the setting 1.5 line spacing on a conventional typewriter. Each of these labels are surrounded by a transparent sheath 6 of which the external dimensions define the transverse dimensions of the support 5. In the case of a label whose width is 8.47 mm (1/3 inch) corresponding to a spacing of two lines on a conventional typewriter, when this label is oriented obliquely at an angle of 35 °, its size in a plane parallel to the bottom of the cabinet 1 is equal to the external dimension of the transparent sheath multiplied by the cosine of 35 ° or 0.82 which, if the sheath transparent has no thickness greater than that used with a 6.35 mm label, requires space lower transverse than with the label used later.

Ainsi, l'invention permet non seulement une meilleure lisibilité des étiquettes d'identification des dossiers suspendus, mais aussi la diminution de l'encombrement des dossiers suspendus dans un plan parallèle au fond de l'armoire dans laquelle ils sont installés.Thus, the invention not only allows better readability of file identification labels suspended, but also the reduction in the size of the files suspended in a plane parallel to the back of the cabinet in which they are installed.

En utilisant l'invention, on peut même concevoir d'utiliser des étiquettes dont la largeur est portée à 10,5 mm (5/12 de pouces) qui correspondent au pas de 2,5 utilisé comme interligne sur une machine à écrire classique. Une telle étiquette pourrait être utilisée sans augmenter l'encombrement transversal du support d'étiquette pour autant que son angle α d'orientation serait assez important, c'est-à-dire que le cosinus de cet angle serait assez faible.Using the invention, it is even conceivable to use labels whose width is increased to 10.5 mm (5/12 of inches) which correspond to the step of 2.5 used as spaced on a classic typewriter. Such a label could be used without increasing bulk transverse of the label support as long as its angle α orientation would be quite important, that is, the cosine of this angle would be quite small.

Le support d'étiquette de la figure 1 est représenté plus en détail à la figure 2. Il comprend essentiellement une gaine 6 transparente et un corps 7 qui est monté sur une des faces principales 2a en carton du dossier suspendu par tout moyen adapté et, par exemple, grâce à deux rivets 8 et 9 traversant un voile principal 7a du corps 7. Ce corps 7 comprend aussi une languette 7b disposée sensiblement perpendiculairement au voile 7a et reliée à celui-ci par une bande 7c de matière, plus fine que le voile 7a et formant un axe de pivotement XX' sensiblement vertical. Le matériau du corps 7 est choisi pour que la bande 7c ait une élasticité telle qu'elle permette le pivotement de la languette 7b autour de l'axe XX'. A titre d'exemple, le polypropylène est particulièrement adapté à cet effet et la bande 7c peut être obtenue par pincement du voile 7a réalisé dans ce matériau.Figure 1 of label holder is shown in more detail in Figure 2. It essentially comprises a transparent sheath 6 and a body 7 which is mounted on one of the main faces 2 a cardboard folder suspended by any suitable means and , for example, by means of two rivets 8 and 9 passing through a main veil 7 a of the body 7. This body 7 also includes a tongue 7 b disposed substantially perpendicular to the veil 7 a and connected to the latter by a strip 7 c of material , thinner than the web 7 a and forming a substantially vertical pivot axis XX '. The material of the body 7 is chosen so that the strip 7 c has an elasticity such that it allows the pivoting of the tongue 7 b around the axis XX '. For example, polypropylene is particularly suitable for this purpose and the strip 7c can be obtained by pinching the web 7 is achieved in this material.

Les extrémités latérales de la languette 7b sont aptes à coopérer avec deux gorges longitudinales 6a et 6b de la gaine transparente 6. La gaine 6 est installée sur le corps 7 en faisant glisser la languette 7b dans les gorges 6a et 6b jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité inférieure 6c de la gaine 6 soit sensiblement à la même hauteur que l'extrémité inférieure de la languette 7b. Lorsque la gaine 6 est montée sur la languette 7b, la gaine est susceptible des mêmes mouvements de pivotement autour de l'axe XX' que la languette 7b. Une étiquette d'identification 10 est installée dans la gaine 6, par insertion dans sa partie supérieure selon une direction F'', et peut être lue à travers la face avant de la gaine 6 dont l'épaisseur E permet de créer un effet de loupe.The lateral ends of the tongue 7 b are able to cooperate with two longitudinal grooves 6 a and 6 b of the transparent sheath 6. The sheath 6 is installed on the body 7 by sliding the tongue 7 b in the grooves 6 a and 6 b until the lower end 6 c of the sheath 6 is substantially at the same height as the lower end of the tongue 7 b . When the sheath 6 is mounted on the tongue 7b, the sheath is capable of the same pivoting movements around the axis XX 'as the tongue 7 b . An identification label 10 is installed in the sheath 6, by insertion in its upper part in a direction F '', and can be read through the front face of the sheath 6 whose thickness E makes it possible to create an effect of magnifying glass.

Comme il apparaít plus clairement en comparant les figures 3 et 4, la gaine 6 et l'étiquette 10 peuvent être orientées pour que l'étiquette soit perpendiculaire à une direction d'observation F normale au fond de l'armoire 1 ou à une direction F' oblique par rapport à ce fond, et ce, par pivotement autour de l'axe XX'. Ainsi, par exemple, les dossiers suspendus installés dans la partie droite de l'armoire 1 de la figure 1 peuvent avoir un support d'étiquette dans la position de la figure 3 alors que les dossiers suspendus installés dans la partie gauche de l'armoire 1 peuvent avoir un support d'étiquette dans la position de la figure 4. Il est bien entendu que, en fonction de la direction d'observation du support d'étiquette, la gaine peut être pivotée dans le sens opposé pour atteindre la position représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 4.As it becomes clearer when comparing the figures 3 and 4, the sheath 6 and the label 10 can be oriented so that the label is perpendicular to a direction normal observation F at the bottom of cabinet 1 or at a direction F 'oblique to this bottom, and this, by pivoting around the XX 'axis. So, for example, the records suspended lights installed in the right part of cabinet 1 of the Figure 1 may have label holder in position in Figure 3 while the hanging folders installed in the left side of cabinet 1 can have a support label in the position of figure 4. It is well understood that, depending on the direction of observation of the label holder, the sleeve can be rotated in the direction opposite to reach the position shown in phantom in Figure 4.

Conformément à un aspect particulièrement avantageux de l'invention, le support d'étiquette comprend des moyens d'immobilisation de la gaine dans une position orientée par rapport à son axe de pivotement. Il importe en effet que, lorsque la gaine 6 a été mise en place dans la position de la figure 4, elle ne retourne pas automatiquement dans sa position de la figure 3 sous l'effet de l'élasticité de la bande 7c. Pour ce faire, la gaine 6 comprend dans sa partie supérieure une extension 11 munie de trois encoches 12, 13 et 14 disposées sur une partie de l'extension 11 formant un arc de cercle. Le voile 7a comprend quant à lui une extrémité formant un ergot 7d susceptible de pénétrer dans l'une des encoches 12 à 14. En se reportant plus particulièrement aux figures 5 et 6, on note que l'ergot 7d est engagé dans l'encoche centrale 13 lorsque l'étiquette doit être visible selon la direction F, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'étiquette 10 doit être sensiblement parallèle au fond de l'armoire 1 dans laquelle est installé le dossier suspendu en question. Cette position est visible à la figure 5. Au contraire, lorsque l'étiquette doit être lisible dans la direction F', l'ergot 7d est engagé dans une des encoches latérales, dans l'exemple l'encoche 14. Comme précédemment, une position symétrique représentée en traits mixtes peut être obtenue en orientant la gaine 6 dans la direction opposée.In accordance with a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the label support comprises means for immobilizing the sheath in a position oriented relative to its pivot axis. It is indeed important that, when the sheath 6 has been put in place in the position of FIG. 4, it does not automatically return to its position in FIG. 3 under the effect of the elasticity of the strip 7 c . To do this, the sheath 6 comprises in its upper part an extension 11 provided with three notches 12, 13 and 14 arranged on a part of the extension 11 forming an arc of a circle. The veil 7 a comprises for its part an end forming a lug 7 d capable of penetrating one of the notches 12 to 14. Referring more particularly to FIGS. 5 and 6, it is noted that the lug 7 d is engaged in the central notch 13 when the label must be visible in the direction F, that is to say when the label 10 must be substantially parallel to the bottom of the cabinet 1 in which the suspended file in question is installed. This position is visible in FIG. 5. On the contrary, when the label must be readable in the direction F ′, the lug 7 d is engaged in one of the lateral notches, in the example the notch 14. As before, a symmetrical position shown in broken lines can be obtained by orienting the sheath 6 in the opposite direction.

Le passage d'une position à une autre est obtenu en exerçant une traction sur la gaine 6 de façon à dégager l'ergot 7d de l'encoche 12, 13 ou 14 dans laquelle il pénètre. Ce mouvement relatif des encoches par rapport à l'ergot 7d est possible grâce à l'élasticité des matériaux utilisés pour le corps 7 et la gaine 6.The transition from one position to another is obtained by exerting traction on the sheath 6 so as to release the lug 7 d from the notch 12, 13 or 14 into which it enters. This relative movement of the notches relative to the lug 7 d is possible thanks to the elasticity of the materials used for the body 7 and the sheath 6.

Selon un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, le support d'étiquette de la figure 1 comprend des seconds moyens d'immobilisation de la gaine 6 dans une position orientée par rapport à l'axe XX'. Ces seconds moyens sont constitués par trois encoches 22, 23 et 24 ménagées à l'extrémité 6c de la gaine 6, alors que le corps 7 comprend à son extrémité inférieure une patte 7e qui porte un second ergot 7f. Lorsque la gaine 6 est installée sur la languette 7b, elle est poussée par l'utilisateur pour qu'une des encoches 22, 23 ou 24 vienne entourer l'ergot 7f. Lorsque l'ergot 7f est en position dans l'une des encoches 22 à 24 disposées en arc de cercle, la gaine 6 est immobilisée en rotation autour de l'axe XX'. Les figures 7 et 8 montrent la position de l'ergot 7f respectivement dans l'encoche 22 ou dans l'encoche 23 en fonction de l'orientation du support d'étiquette choisie par l'utilisateur. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite changer l'orientation de la gaine 6, il peut désengager l'ergot 7f de l'encoche 22, 23 ou 24 en soulevant légèrement la gaine 6 et faire effectuer à la gaine 6 le mouvement souhaité avant de repousser vers le bas la gaine 6 de façon à ce qu'une encoche coiffe l'ergot 7f. Il est à noter que le poids propre de la gaine 6 est un facteur de stabilité de l'assemblage obtenu par la coopération de l'ergot 7f et de l'encoche 22, 23 ou 24 dans laquelle il est engagé.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, the label support of FIG. 1 comprises second means for immobilizing the sheath 6 in a position oriented relative to the axis XX '. These second means consist of three notches 22, 23 and 24 formed at the end 6c of the sheath 6, while the body 7 comprises at its lower end a tab 7 e which carries a second lug 7 f . When the sheath 6 is installed on the tongue 7 b , it is pushed by the user so that one of the notches 22, 23 or 24 comes to surround the lug 7 f . When the lug 7 f is in position in one of the notches 22 to 24 arranged in an arc, the sheath 6 is immobilized in rotation about the axis XX '. Figures 7 and 8 show the position of the lug 7 f respectively in the notch 22 or in the notch 23 depending on the orientation of the label support chosen by the user. When the user wishes to change the orientation of the sheath 6, he can disengage the lug 7 f from the notch 22, 23 or 24 by slightly lifting the sheath 6 and causing the sheath 6 to carry out the desired movement before pushing back down the sheath 6 so that a notch covers the lug 7 f . It should be noted that the self-weight of the sheath 6 is a factor of stability of the assembly obtained by the cooperation of the lug 7 f and the notch 22, 23 or 24 in which it is engaged.

Les figures 9 et 10 représentent un second mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les éléments similaires à ceux du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8 portent une référence identique augmentée de 50. Le support 55 de ce mode de réalisation diffère du précédent essentiellement en ce que son corps 57 porte dans sa partie supérieure deux ergots 57d et 57d' décalés par rapport à l'axe de symétrie d'un voile 57a du corps 57, de sorte qu'ils pénètrent simultanément chacun dans une encoche appartenant à une série de quatre encoches 62 à 65 ménagées sur le bord en arc de cercle d'une extension 61 d'une gaine transparente 56. Ce mode de réalisation présente l'avantage particulier que, du fait de la double immobilisation découlant des deux ergots 57d et 57d', le support d'étiquette de l'invention est très fermement maintenu dans la position choisie par l'utilisateur, pour la lecture d'une étiquette 60, par rotation de la gaine 56 et d'une languette 57b autour d'un axe de pivotement XX' matérialisé par une bande 57c formant charnière.Figures 9 and 10 show a second embodiment of the invention in which elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear an identical reference increased by 50. The support 55 of this embodiment differs from the previous one essentially in that its body 57 carries in its upper part two pins 57 d and 57 d offset relative to the axis of symmetry of a veil 57 a of the body 57, so that they each simultaneously penetrate into a notch belonging to a series of four notches 62 to 65 formed on the arcuate edge of an extension 61 of a transparent sheath 56. This embodiment has the particular advantage that, due to the double immobilization resulting from the two pins 57 d and 57 d ', the label support of the invention is very firmly held in the position chosen by the user, for reading a label 60, by rotation of the sheath 56 and a tongue head 57 b around a pivot axis XX 'materialized by a band 57 c forming a hinge.

La figure 11 présente un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les éléments analogues à ceux du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8 portent des références identiques augmentées de 100. Le support 105 de ce mode de réalisation diffère du précédent essentiellement en ce que le caractère orientable d'une gaine 106, dans laquelle est logé une étiquette 110, est obtenu grâce à la géométrie du corps 107 de ce support. En effet, le corps 107 comprend une extension 107b de forme globalement cylindrique et pourvue de cannelures ou encoches 112, 113, 114, 112', 113' et 114'. Ces cannelures, qui sont réparties sur un arc de cercle formé par la surface de la section de l'extension 107b, s'étendent sur la majeure partie de la hauteur du corps 107, c'est-à-dire du support 105. La gaine transparente 106 en matière plastique comprend deux extensions 111 et 111' portant chacune un ergot 117, respectivement 117'. Chacun des ergots 117 ou 117' est destiné à pénétrer dans l'une des cannelures 112 à 114 et 112' à 114'. Les ergots 117 et 117' peuvent s'étendre sur la majeure partie de la hauteur de la gaine 106 ou n'être présents que sur une partie de celle-ci. Ainsi, l'axe de symétrie de l'extension 107b est confondu avec l'axe de pivotement XX' de la gaine 106.FIG. 11 shows a third embodiment of the invention in which the elements similar to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 8 bear identical references increased by 100. The support 105 of this embodiment differs from the preceding essentially in that the orientable nature of a sheath 106, in which a label 110 is housed, is obtained thanks to the geometry of the body 107 of this support. Indeed, the body 107 comprises an extension 107b of generally cylindrical shape and provided with grooves or notches 112, 113, 114, 112 ', 113' and 114 '. These grooves, which are distributed over a circular arc formed by the surface of the extension portion 107 b, extend over most of the height of the body 107, that is to say the support 105. The transparent plastic sheath 106 comprises two extensions 111 and 111 'each carrying a lug 117, respectively 117'. Each of the lugs 117 or 117 'is intended to penetrate one of the grooves 112 to 114 and 112' to 114 '. The pins 117 and 117 ′ may extend over the major part of the height of the sheath 106 or be present only over a part of the latter. Thus, the axis of symmetry of the extension 107 b coincides with the pivot axis XX 'of the sheath 106.

Selon un mode de réalisation non représenté de l'invention, plusieurs ergots 117 et 117' peuvent être répartis sur la hauteur des extensions 111 et 111'.According to an embodiment not shown of the invention, several pins 117 and 117 ′ can be distributed over the height of extensions 111 and 111 '.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant : Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de mettre en place la gaine 106 sur le corps 107, celle-ci est animée d'un mouvement de translation verticale de façon à ce que les ergots 117 et 117' pénètrent dans deux encoches ou cannelures diamétralement opposées. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite orienter la gaine 106 par rapport à l'axe XX' passant par le centre de l'extension 107b, il exerce un couple par rapport à cet axe sur la gaine 106 dont les extensions 111 et 111' se déforment à cause des propriétés élastique du matériau utilisé pour sa fabrication, ce qui permet de dégager les ergots 117 et 117' des cannelures dans lesquelles ils sont engagés. Lorsque la position angulaire correspondant à l'engagement des ergots 117 et 117' dans un second jeu de cannelures ou encoches est atteinte, les ergots pénètrent dans les cannelures correspondantes sous l'effet de l'élasticité des extensions 111 et 111'. Le dispositif de l'invention peut ainsi facilement être amené de la position représentée à la figure 12 à l'une des positions représentées en traits pleins ou en traits mixtes à la figure 13.The operation is as follows: When it is necessary to set up the sheath 106 on the body 107, the latter is driven in a vertical translational movement so that the pins 117 and 117 'penetrate into two notches or diametrically opposite grooves. When the user wishes to orient the sheath 106 relative to the axis XX 'passing through the center of the extension 107 b , he exerts a torque with respect to this axis on the sheath 106 whose extensions 111 and 111' are deformed because of the elastic properties of the material used for its manufacture, which makes it possible to disengage the pins 117 and 117 ′ from the grooves in which they are engaged. When the angular position corresponding to the engagement of the lugs 117 and 117 ′ in a second set of grooves or notches is reached, the lugs penetrate into the corresponding grooves under the effect of the elasticity of the extensions 111 and 111 ′. The device of the invention can thus easily be brought from the position shown in FIG. 12 to one of the positions shown in solid lines or in broken lines in FIG. 13.

En se référant plus particulièrement à la figure 13, on peut noter qu'une extrémité 118' de l'extension 111' est en butée contre le voile 107a du corps 107 lorsque la gaine 106 est dans une position oblique par rapport aux faces principales du dossier suspendu sur laquelle est monté le support de l'invention. Cette butée de l'extrémité 118', qui peut être réalisée sur la majeure partie de la hauteur du support 105, confère une bonne stabilité mécanique au dispositif et évite la détérioration de celui-ci dans le cas où un utilisateur exerce sur la gaine 106 un couple qui aurait tendance à lui faire dépasser la position représentée en traits pleins à la figure 13. Bien entendu, l'extrémité 118 de l'extension 111 constitue aussi une butée dans la position représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 13.Referring more particularly to FIG. 13, it can be noted that one end 118 ′ of the extension 111 ′ abuts against the web 107 a of the body 107 when the sheath 106 is in an oblique position relative to the main faces of the hanging file on which the support of the invention is mounted. This end stop 118 ′, which can be produced over most of the height of the support 105, gives good mechanical stability to the device and avoids deterioration of the latter in the case where a user exercises on the sheath 106 a torque which would tend to make it exceed the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 13. Of course, the end 118 of the extension 111 also constitutes a stop in the position represented in dashed lines in FIG. 13.

Les figures 14 et 15 représentent un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'invention dont les éléments constitutifs analogues à ceux du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8 portent des références identiques augmentées de 150. Le support 155 de ce mode de réalisation diffère du précédent essentiellement en ce que des ergots 167 et 167' portés par des extensions 161 et 161' d'une gaine transparente 156 sont disposés aux extrémités des extensions 161 et 161' les plus éloignées d'une étiquette 160. Cette position extrême des ergots 167 et 167' permet de profiter au maximum des propriétés élastiques du matériau plastique des extensions 161 et 161' lorsque la gaine 156 est déplacée d'une position à l'autre. En effet, le débattement des ergots 167 et 167' nécessaire à leur extraction de cannelures ou encoches 162 à 164 et 162' à 164' d'une extension cylindrique 157b du corps 157 dans lesquelles ils sont engagés est facilité par cette position des ergots 167 et 167' aux extrémités des extensions 161 et 161'. Comme précédemment, l'axe de symétrie de l'extension 157b est confondu avec l'axe de pivotement XX' de la gaine 156.Figures 14 and 15 show a fourth embodiment of the invention, the constituent elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear identical references increased by 150. The support 155 of this embodiment differs from the previous one essentially in that pins 167 and 167 'carried by extensions 161 and 161' of a transparent sheath 156 are arranged at the ends of the extensions 161 and 161 'furthest from a label 160. This extreme position of the pins 167 and 167 'makes it possible to take full advantage of the elastic properties of the plastic material of the extensions 161 and 161' when the sheath 156 is moved from one position to the other. Indeed, the deflection of the pins 167 and 167 'necessary for their extraction from grooves or notches 162 to 164 and 162' to 164 'of a cylindrical extension 157 b of the body 157 in which they are engaged is facilitated by this position of the pins 167 and 167 'at the ends of extensions 161 and 161'. As before, the axis of symmetry of the extension 157 b coincides with the pivot axis XX 'of the sheath 156.

En outre, dans ce mode de réalisation, lorsque la gaine 156 est dans une position oblique telle que représentée dans la figure 15, l'un des ergots 167 ou 167' est en appui contre le voile 157a du corps 157 et remplit donc la fonction de l'extrémité 118 ou 118' du mode de réalisation précédent. Ce mode de réalisation constitue donc une simplification par rapport au précédent alors que les avantages en sont conservés. Comme dans le cas précédent, les cannelures ou encoches 162 à 164 et 162' à 164' peuvent s'étendre ou non sur la majeure partie de la hauteur du support 155, de même que les ergots 167 et 167' peuvent s'étendre sur toute cette hauteur ou sur une partie de celle-ci ou être constitués de plusieurs éléments alignés et susceptibles de pénétrer simultanément dans une cannelure.In addition, in this embodiment, when the sheath 156 is in an oblique position as shown in FIG. 15, one of the lugs 167 or 167 ′ is in abutment against the web 157 a of the body 157 and therefore fills the depending on the end 118 or 118 ′ of the previous embodiment. This embodiment therefore constitutes a simplification compared to the previous one while the advantages are retained. As in the previous case, the grooves or notches 162 to 164 and 162 'to 164' may or may not extend over the major part of the height of the support 155, just as the pins 167 and 167 'can extend over all this height or on a part of it or be made up of several aligned elements capable of penetrating simultaneously into a groove.

Selon un mode de réalisation non représenté de l'invention, il est possible de prévoir que chaque extension 161 et 161' comporte plusieurs ergots, par exemple deux, susceptibles de pénétrer simultanément dans deux cannelures différentes à la manière du mode de réalisation des figures 9 et 10.According to an embodiment not shown of the invention, it is possible to provide that each extension 161 and 161 'has several lugs, for example two, susceptible to simultaneously penetrate two different grooves at the way of the embodiment of Figures 9 and 10.

Dans les modes de réalisation des figures 11 à 15, on peut prévoir que la gaine translucide porte un unique ergot sur une extension alors que l'extension du corps porte une unique série de cannelures, la seconde extension ayant une forme interne cylindrique apte à coopérer avec une forme externe cylindrique de l'extension du corps.In the embodiments of FIGS. 11 to 15, it is possible to provide that the translucent sheath carries a single lug on a extension while the extension of the body carries a single series of grooves, the second extension having an internal shape cylindrical able to cooperate with an external cylindrical shape of body extension.

Les figures 16 à 18 représentent un cinquième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les éléments similaires à ceux du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 8 portent une référence identique augmentée de 200. Le support 205 de ce mode de réalisation comprend un corps 207 monté sur une face 202a d'un dossier suspendu 202 moyen de deux rivets 208 et 209. Une gaine 206 transparente est apte à recevoir une étiquette 210 par insertion selon une direction F'''.Figures 16 to 18 show a fifth embodiment of the invention in which elements similar to those of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 8 bear an identical reference increased by 200. The support 205 of this embodiment comprises a body 207 mounted on one side 202 a of a suspended file 202 using two rivets 208 and 209. A transparent sheath 206 is capable of receiving a label 210 by insertion in a direction F '''.

Le corps 207 est essentiellement constitué d'un voile 207a en appui contre la face 202a, d'une tige cylindrique 207b s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement au bord de la face 202a et d'une patte 207e s'étendant perpendiculairement à la tige 207b, dans la partie inférieure du corps 207. Sur la majeure partie de sa hauteur, la tige cylindrique 207b est reliée au voile 207a. A sa partie supérieure, la tige 207b présente une extrémité 207c dégagée du voile 207a.The body 207 essentially consists of a veil 207 a resting against the face 202 a , a cylindrical rod 207 b extending substantially parallel to the edge of the face 202 a and a tab 207 e extending perpendicularly to the rod 207 b , in the lower part of the body 207. Over most of its height, the cylindrical rod 207 b is connected to the web 207 a . At its upper part, the rod 207 b has an end 207 c disengaged from the web 207 a .

La gaine transparente 206 est en matériau plastique et comprend deux extensions 211 et 211' aptes à enserrer la tige cylindrique 207b. Pour ce faire, les parties en regard des extensions 211 et 211' portent chacune une rainure en arc de cercle dont le rayon est sensiblement égal à celui de la tige 207b. Dans sa partie supérieure, la gaine 206 porte une extension 212 percée d'un orifice cylindrique 213. Le corps 207 comprend, à sa partie supérieure, un doigt 207h s'étendant, à partir du voile 207a, en direction de l'extrémité 207c de la tige 207b.The transparent sheath 206 is made of plastic material and comprises two extensions 211 and 211 ′ capable of enclosing the cylindrical rod 207 b . To do this, the opposite parts of the extensions 211 and 211 ′ each carry a groove in an arc of a circle whose radius is substantially equal to that of the rod 207 b . In its upper part, the sheath 206 carries an extension 212 pierced with a cylindrical orifice 213. The body 207 comprises, at its upper part, a finger 207 h extending, from the veil 207 a , in the direction of the end 207 c of rod 207 b .

Le fonctionnement est le suivant : lorsqu'il est nécessaire de mettre en place la gaine 206 sur le corps 207, celle-ci est animée d'un mouvement de translation verticale vers le bas selon l'axe XX' de la tige 207b jusqu'à que son extrémité inférieure 206c vienne en butée contre la patte 207e. L'extension 212 est insérée en force entre le doigt 207h et l'extrémité 207c. L'orifice 213 coiffe alors l'extrémité 207c de la tige 207b. Compte tenu de la géométrie des extensions 211 et 211' et de la tige 207b, la gaine 206 peut pivoter autour de l'axe XX' pour atteindre l'orientation souhaitée par l'utilisateur alors que le doigt 207h permet de s'opposer à l'extraction de la gaine 206 vers le haut sur la figure 16.The operation is as follows: when it is necessary to put the sheath 206 on the body 207, the latter is driven in a downward vertical translation movement along the axis XX 'of the rod 207 b up to 'at that its lower end 206 c abuts against the tab 207 e . The extension 212 is inserted by force between the finger 207 h and the end 207 c . The orifice 213 then covers the end 207 c of the rod 207 b . Given the geometry of the extensions 211 and 211 'and the rod 207 b , the sheath 206 can pivot around the axis XX' to reach the orientation desired by the user while the finger 207 h allows s' oppose the extraction of the sheath 206 upwards in FIG. 16.

Par ailleurs, la patte 207e porte, sur une extension 207g, un ergot 207f orienté vers la tige 207b, c'est-à-dire vers la gaine 206 lorsque celle-ci est en place sur le support. La gaine 206 est pourvue, sur sa face externe, à proximité de son extrémité inférieure 206c, d'une rainure 214 dans laquelle pénètre l'ergot 207f lorsque la gaine est en place. L'ergot 207f s'oppose aussi à un éventuel mouvement de translation vers le haut de la gaine 206 lorsqu'elle est en place.Furthermore, the tab 207 e carries, on an extension 207 g , a lug 207 f oriented towards the rod 207 b , that is to say towards the sheath 206 when the latter is in place on the support. The sheath 206 is provided, on its external face, near its lower end 206 c , with a groove 214 into which the lug 207 f penetrates when the sheath is in place. The lug 207 f also opposes a possible upward movement of the sheath 206 when it is in place.

En variante, il est possible de prévoir que l'immobilisation de la gaine 206 est réalisée seulement par le doigt 207h ou par l'ergot 207g.Alternatively, it is possible to provide that the immobilization of the sheath 206 is carried out only by the finger 207 h or by the lug 207 g .

Cinq encoches 215 à 219 sont prévues en arc de cercle au fond de la rainure 214 de sorte que l'ergot 207f est apte à pénétrer dans l'une d'entre elles en fonction de la position de la gaine 206 autour de l'axe XX' et à immobiliser la gaine dans cette position. Les encoches 215 à 219 peuvent être ou non débouchantes dans l'espace interne de la gaine 206 où est logée l'étiquette 210.Five notches 215 to 219 are provided in an arc at the bottom of the groove 214 so that the lug 207 f is able to penetrate one of them depending on the position of the sheath 206 around the axis XX 'and to immobilize the sheath in this position. The notches 215 to 219 may or may not open out into the internal space of the sheath 206 where the label 210 is housed.

Comme dans les modes de réalisation des figures 11 à 15, l'extrémité des extensions 211 et 211' vient en butée contre le voile 207a lorsque la gaine est dans sa position la plus oblique par rapport à ce voile.As in the embodiments of FIGS. 11 to 15, the end of the extensions 211 and 211 ′ abuts against the web 207 a when the sheath is in its most oblique position relative to this web.

Les supports représentés sur les figures annexées comprennent trois, quatre, cinq ou six encoches, mais l'invention est applicable quel que soit le nombre de ces encoches. Ce nombre et la position des encoches sont déterminés en fonction de l'orientation ou des orientations recherchée(s) pour la gaine. En particulier, plusieurs positions obliques avec des angles de 20, 35 et 50° peuvent être obtenues par un choix judicieux, à la portée de l'homme du métier, du nombre et de la position des encoches et/ou des ergots.The supports shown in the appended figures include three, four, five or six notches, but the invention is applicable regardless of the number of these notches. This number and the position of the notches are determined according to the orientation or orientations sought for the sheath. In particular, several oblique positions with angles of 20, 35 and 50 ° can be obtained by a judicious choice, at the scope of the person skilled in the art, the number and the position of notches and / or lugs.
