Definitions
- the present invention relates to the sorting of objects, and more particularly the sorting of flat objects of the type of postal folds.
- the invention was made to solve the problems encountered in postal sorting with materials that no longer meet current needs.
- sorting operations are very important variability, due in part to the uniqueness of each postman's tour, and for another part at because they are layered on several levels as well strongly differentiated.
- sorting general of classifying bulk as one or more several passes to form batches corresponding to factor tours. Then these intervene usually themselves to order their "satchel".
- a first pass called “cutting” consists of a pre-sorting into a limited number of lots, each lot then being treated individually during the "stitching" to arrive at a precise classification.
- sorting tools current not very flexible, have become totally obsolete. There are cost issues and space congestion due to the importance of necessary materials, as well as problems efficiency and discomfort for operators.
- the invention is the culmination of research of a global solution to these various problems, that is to say an economical, space-saving solution, and providing each user with the ability to have a practical, efficient and suitable sorting tool at best to his particular need.
- It consists of a new filing system sorting, characterized in that it includes lockers identical units in the shape of a parallelepiped elongated rectangle, which includes means for freely organize a plurality of shelves stacked for use while standing or vertical, or to freely organize a plurality of juxtaposed boxes for use in position lying down or horizontal, in order to make it possible to constitute sorting conformations according to need for which they are intended, by grouping and interior arrangement of a plurality of lockers arranged upright and / or horizontal, and being able to be juxtaposed and / or superimposed.
- the vertical arrangement of the lockers with stacking of shelves will be better for receiving large groupings of folds that will be there stacked, while the horizontal layout will significantly more advantageous for groupings of folds in limited number which can then be placed standing on their edge in the boxes (sorting method in vertical), offering the possibility of reducing considerably the size of the boxes that will then be their width (height in the other configuration) without loss of operational convenience for users.
- the mode of use in vertical lockers will be used primarily for the general sorting, as well as for the first operation so-called “cutting” of the organization of touring factors, whereas for the second operation called “stitching" is the mode of use in horizontal lockers that will be retained.
- the lockers have a length whose value is a multiple of that of their width, to allow combinations associating juxtapositions and overlays of lockers, including overall form remains simple, compact and rational.
- Means for organizing the interior of lockers advantageously subdivided into a set of tablets with vocation of shelf for the mode of use of vertical lockers and a set of dividers for the horizontal mode of use.
- the means of restraint shelves and dividers will be manipulated simple and fast, so that users have all freedom and ease of carrying out layout modifications, even during work.
- the shelves and dividers will be provided with practical employment information supports.
- the locker C shown in FIG. 1 is a elongated rectangular parallelepiped, fully open in facade on one of its large faces, manufactured by example of sheet steel or synthetic material dark in color such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Its length is three times its width, so that its height when standing corresponds exactly to that of the superposition of three identical lockers arranged horizontally. In practice, for application to postal sorting, its dimensions can be 1 m for its length, and 33 cm for its width and depth.
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- Locker C has a set of accessories allowing to organize shelves at will superimposed for vertical use, or juxtaposed boxes for horizontal use.
- the same elements could be used to constitute the shelves or partitions between juxtaposed boxes, but in practice, it was considered preferable to subdivide them in two specific games which can then be adapted optimally to their function by presenting a maximum convenience for users, especially for their installation and removal which must give an immediate character to the operations of rearrangement of the locker.
- a first game brings together a plurality of tablets identical to vocation of shelves, such as that which is shown upside down in FIG. 2, identified in 5 and which consists of a square plane with internal dimensions transverse of the locker, which plane is bordered on its front side by a square return 50 intended to be facing downwards and used for marking of information.
- Each tablet 5 is associated with a bar 6 used to hold it in the compartment C, in cooperating with means of it.
- the means of the locker consist of simple slots 30 formed in the two longitudinal bottom corners, which consist of oblique sections 3 (at 45 °, and which, alternatively, can be rounded), intermediate between the bottom wall 1 and the side walls elongated 2.
- the slots 30, perpendicular to the axis longitudinal sections 3, follow one another 5 cm apart, and they are aligned two by two between the two sides.
- the slots 30 are intended to receive the rear corners of shelves 5.
- the shelves are carried at the front by the bar 6 which engages on each side in holes correspondents 20 housed in the walls 2, near their front edge and which, of course, are spread longitudinally in the same pitch as the slots 30.
- the bar 6 has a main part 60 of length corresponding to the internal width of the rack, extended on both sides, beyond shoulders keeping it in place in the locker, by end parts of smaller diameter 61, the diameter of the main part 60 being itself of diameter slightly less than that of the holes 20.
- FIG. 2 on the other hand lets appear a stop 51 making protrusion on the underside of the shelves 5, which located behind bar 6 to prevent them from slide forward when in place.
- the dividers 7 are square plates with rear corners fit into the slots 30. They are held at the front near their upper corner, by a cooperating lock 8 with holes 20 and also serving as a support of information.
- the lock represented is an arm articulated on the interlayer, near its upper front corner, whose side upper defines a boss 80 designed to engage in a hole 20.
- the boss 80 flares from its top to its base, to allow a locking without play.
- the free end of the arm 8 has a return 81 forming a small panel in facade when the interlayer is in place, intended to receive information. It can also include a means of hanging mini-documents, relating for example redirection.
- the dividers 7 present at a certain height of their base, from their front edge, a notch 70 the purpose of which is to facilitate deposit or withdrawal of all mail formats.
- a notch 70 the purpose of which is to facilitate deposit or withdrawal of all mail formats.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an example of a fitted filing cabinet on two tables T by a user, for example a postman having to organize his tour.
- Two lockers C1 and C2 arranged vertically are juxtaposed on one of the T tables of appropriate width (for example 70 cm), forming a set of "coupage", itself juxtaposed with a set of "stakes" of three compartments C3 to C5 lying horizontally and superimposed on the other table T of corresponding width (1 m).
- Bosses and complementary hollows can be provided on the external faces of the lockers, for allow mutual calibration between adjacent compartments.
- the set of lockers C1 to C5 is surmounted on the front by transparent strips 9, Fig. 1, which serve as information carriers additional. They have a horizontal wing 90 which screws onto the lockers, and an oblique wing 91 intended to form an overhanging pan on the front of lockers.
- the strips 9 have a unique length of 1 m, which therefore corresponds to the length of the lockers and the triple their width. They can be completed by shorter strips of length corresponding to twice the width of lockers. Otherwise, as in the arrangement of FIG. 4, two strips 9a, 9b can overlap if necessary over part of their length. Note that strips 9 constitute a high connection between compartments.
- the "cutting" assembly C1, C2 is provided shelves 5 suitably spaced, generally at least two spacing steps (10 cm), to make it easy to form and remove the piles of P mail addressed to them. Good that a regular provision of the shelves 5, the user is free to organize them as he sees fit, to the best of his need, knowing that in principle, the mail will be deposited there stacked at dish. It records useful information on returns 50.
- Lockers C3 to C5 of the "pricking" set are organized in a succession of juxtaposed boxes, intended to receive in principle the folds p standing on their edge (sorting said vertical), so that their width can be reduced considerably without loss convenience for the user. This adjusts the width boxes according to the volume of mail they must receive, rearrangements that may take place being sorted. In practice, the most used width is one step apart (5 cm). If an address is abnormally loaded, the width of the box can be enlarged enough to accommodate the mail stacked flat.
- FIG. 4 was described only as an example, but is absolutely not limiting. In practice, the user will be able to organize its lockers according to its personal suitability, in U, in L, in spans, etc.
- a sorting file according to the invention such as that of Fig. 4, compared to conventional equipment, represents a gain of space on the ground and in height by at least 50%, an even greater cost saving, and also provides maximum flexibility and comfort of use.
- these qualities of the invention are susceptible to make it accessible and advantageous wherever mail items require classification, especially in communities: schools, hospitals, mail order organizations, etc.

Description
La présente invention concerne le tri d'objets, et plus particulièrement le tri d'objets plats du type des plis postaux.The present invention relates to the sorting of objects, and more particularly the sorting of flat objects of the type of postal folds.
Bien que non limitée à cette application, l'invention a été réalisée pour résoudre les problèmes rencontrés dans le tri postal avec les matériels existants qui ne satisfont plus aux besoins actuels.Although not limited to this application, the invention was made to solve the problems encountered in postal sorting with materials that no longer meet current needs.
Ces matériels existants sont des ensembles consistant en un quadrillage vertical de cases, généralement toutes identiques, dans lesquelles les plis sont empilés. Les plus modernes présentent une certaine modularité permettant d'adapter dans une certaine mesure leur volume au besoin particulier mais, dans la pratique, cette modularité apporte peu bien que son coût soit relativement élevé.These existing materials are sets consisting of a vertical grid of boxes, generally all identical, in which the folds are stacked. The most modern have a some modularity to adapt in a some measure their volume to the particular need but, in practice, this modularity brings little although its cost is relatively high.
En effet, dans tout bureau de poste d'une certaine importance, les opérations de tri présentent une grande variabilité, due pour une part au caractère unique de chaque tournée de facteur, et pour une autre part au fait qu'elles s'étagent en plusieurs niveaux également fortement différenciés. Il s'agit d'abord du tri général consistant à classer le vrac en une ou plusieurs passes pour former des lots correspondant aux tournées des facteurs. Ensuite, ceux-ci interviennent généralement eux-mêmes pour ordonner leur "sacoche". Une première passe appelée "coupage" consiste en un pré-tri en un nombre restreint de lots, chaque lot étant ensuite traité individuellement lors du "piquage" pour aboutir à un classement précis. Face à cette grande variabilité des opérations de tri et à l'accroissement important du volume du courrier que l'on connaít depuis quelques années, les outils de tri actuels, peu modulables, sont devenus totalement obsolètes. Il s'ensuit des problèmes de coût et d'encombrement des locaux dûs à l'importance des matériels nécessaires, ainsi que des problèmes d'efficacité et d'inconfort pour les opérateurs.Indeed, in any post office a certain importance, sorting operations are very important variability, due in part to the uniqueness of each postman's tour, and for another part at because they are layered on several levels as well strongly differentiated. First it’s sorting general of classifying bulk as one or more several passes to form batches corresponding to factor tours. Then these intervene usually themselves to order their "satchel". A first pass called "cutting" consists of a pre-sorting into a limited number of lots, each lot then being treated individually during the "stitching" to arrive at a precise classification. Faced with this great variability in sorting operations and the significant increase in the volume of mail that we have known for a few years, sorting tools current, not very flexible, have become totally obsolete. There are cost issues and space congestion due to the importance of necessary materials, as well as problems efficiency and discomfort for operators.
L'invention est l'aboutissement de la recherche d'une solution globale à ces divers problèmes, c'est-à-dire d'une solution économique, d'encombrement réduit, et procurant à chaque utilisateur la possibilité de disposer d'un outil de tri pratique, efficace et adapté au mieux à son besoin particulier.The invention is the culmination of research of a global solution to these various problems, that is to say an economical, space-saving solution, and providing each user with the ability to have a practical, efficient and suitable sorting tool at best to his particular need.
Elle consiste en un nouveau système de classeur de tri, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des casiers unitaires identiques en forme de parallélépipède rectangle allongé, qui comportent des moyens permettant d'y organiser librement une pluralité d'étagères superposées pour une utilisation en position debout ou verticale, ou d'y organiser librement une pluralité de cases juxtaposés pour une utilisation en position couchée ou horizontale, afin de permettre de constituer des conformations de tri en fonction du besoin auxquelles elles sont destinées, par regroupement et aménagement intérieur d'une pluralité de casiers disposés debout et/ou horizontaux, et pouvant être juxtaposés et/ou superposés.It consists of a new filing system sorting, characterized in that it includes lockers identical units in the shape of a parallelepiped elongated rectangle, which includes means for freely organize a plurality of shelves stacked for use while standing or vertical, or to freely organize a plurality of juxtaposed boxes for use in position lying down or horizontal, in order to make it possible to constitute sorting conformations according to need for which they are intended, by grouping and interior arrangement of a plurality of lockers arranged upright and / or horizontal, and being able to be juxtaposed and / or superimposed.
La disposition verticale des casiers avec superposition d'étagères conviendra mieux pour recevoir des regroupements importants de plis qui y seront empilés, tandis que la disposition horizontale sera nettement plus avantageuse pour des regroupements de plis en nombre limité qui pourront alors être placés debout sur leur tranche dans les cases (mode de tri en vertical), en offrant la possibilité de réduire considérablement la dimension des cases que sera alors leur largeur (hauteur dans l'autre configuration) sans perte de commodité opérationnelle pour les utilisateurs.The vertical arrangement of the lockers with stacking of shelves will be better for receiving large groupings of folds that will be there stacked, while the horizontal layout will significantly more advantageous for groupings of folds in limited number which can then be placed standing on their edge in the boxes (sorting method in vertical), offering the possibility of reducing considerably the size of the boxes that will then be their width (height in the other configuration) without loss of operational convenience for users.
On comprendra donc que le mode d'utilisation en vertical des casiers sera prioritairement utilisé pour le tri général, ainsi que pour la première opération dite de "coupage" de l'organisation des tournées de facteurs, alors que pour la seconde opération dite de "piquage", c'est le mode d'utilisation en horizontal des casiers qui sera retenu. Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, les casiers ont une longueur dont la valeur est un multiple de celle de leur largeur, pour permettre des combinaisons associant juxtapositions et superpositions des casiers, dont la forme d'ensemble reste simple, compacte et rationnelle.It will therefore be understood that the mode of use in vertical lockers will be used primarily for the general sorting, as well as for the first operation so-called "cutting" of the organization of touring factors, whereas for the second operation called "stitching" is the mode of use in horizontal lockers that will be retained. In a form of preferred embodiment of the invention, the lockers have a length whose value is a multiple of that of their width, to allow combinations associating juxtapositions and overlays of lockers, including overall form remains simple, compact and rational.
Les moyens pour organiser l'intérieur des casiers se subdivisent avantageusement en un jeu de tablettes à vocation d'étagère pour le mode d'utilisation des casiers en vertical et un jeu d'intercalaires pour le mode d'utilisation en horizontal. Les moyens de retenue des tablettes et intercalaires seront de manipulation simple et rapide, afin que les utilisateurs aient toutes liberté et facilité de procéder à des modifications d'aménagement, même en cours de travail. D'autre part, les tablettes et intercalaires seront dotés de supports d'information pratiques d'emploi.Means for organizing the interior of lockers advantageously subdivided into a set of tablets with vocation of shelf for the mode of use of vertical lockers and a set of dividers for the horizontal mode of use. The means of restraint shelves and dividers will be manipulated simple and fast, so that users have all freedom and ease of carrying out layout modifications, even during work. On the other hand, the shelves and dividers will be provided with practical employment information supports.
Les caractéristiques et avantages exposés ci-dessus,
ainsi que d'autres, apparaítront clairement à
la lecture de la description suivante, faite en
relation avec les dessins joints, dans lesquels :
Le casier C représenté à la Fig. 1 est un parallélépipède rectangle allongé, totalement ouvert en façade sur l'une de ses grandes faces, fabriqué par exemple en tôle d'acier ou en un matériau synthétique de teinte sombre tel que polychlorure de vinyle (PVC). Sa longueur est triple de sa largeur, de telle sorte que sa hauteur en position debout correspond exactement à celle de la superposition de trois casiers identiques disposés horizontalement. En pratique, pour l'application au tri postal, ses dimensions peuvent être de 1 m pour sa longueur, et de 33 cm pour sa largeur et sa profondeur.The locker C shown in FIG. 1 is a elongated rectangular parallelepiped, fully open in facade on one of its large faces, manufactured by example of sheet steel or synthetic material dark in color such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Its length is three times its width, so that its height when standing corresponds exactly to that of the superposition of three identical lockers arranged horizontally. In practice, for application to postal sorting, its dimensions can be 1 m for its length, and 33 cm for its width and depth.
Le casier C est pourvu d'un ensemble d'accessoires permettant d'y organiser à volonté des étagères superposées pour une utilisation en vertical, ou des cases juxtaposées pour une utilisation en horizontal. Les mêmes éléments pourraient servir à constituer les étagères ou les cloisons entre cases juxtaposées, mais en pratique, il a été jugé préférable de les subdiviser en deux jeux spécifiques qui peuvent alors être adaptés de façon optimale à leur fonction en présentant un maximum de commodité pour les utilisateurs, notamment pour leur mise en place et leur retrait qui doivent conférer un caractère d'immédiateté aux opérations de réaménagement du casier.Locker C has a set of accessories allowing to organize shelves at will superimposed for vertical use, or juxtaposed boxes for horizontal use. The same elements could be used to constitute the shelves or partitions between juxtaposed boxes, but in practice, it was considered preferable to subdivide them in two specific games which can then be adapted optimally to their function by presenting a maximum convenience for users, especially for their installation and removal which must give an immediate character to the operations of rearrangement of the locker.
Un premier jeu regroupe une pluralité de tablettes
identiques à vocation d'étagères, telles que celle qui
est représentée à l'envers à la Fig. 2, repérée en 5 et
qui consiste en un plan carré aux dimensions internes
transversales du casier, lequel plan est bordé sur son
côté avant par un retour en équerre 50 destiné à être
orienté vers le bas et servant au marquage
d'informations. A chaque tablette 5 est associée une
barrette 6 servant à son maintien dans le casier C, en
coopérant avec des moyens de celui-ci.A first game brings together a plurality of tablets
identical to vocation of shelves, such as that which
is shown upside down in FIG. 2, identified in 5 and
which consists of a square plane with internal dimensions
transverse of the locker, which plane is bordered on its
front side by a
Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré, les moyens
du casier consistent en de simples fentes 30 ménagées
dans les deux coins de fond longitudinaux, lesquels
sont constitués par des pans obliques 3 (à 45°, et qui,
en variante, peuvent être arrondis), intermédiaires
entre la paroi de fond 1 et les parois latérales
allongées 2. Les fentes 30, perpendiculaires à l'axe
longitudinal des pans 3, se suivent selon un pas
d'écartement, par exemple de 5 cm, et elles sont
alignées deux à deux entre les deux pans. Les fentes 30
sont destinées à recevoir les coins arrière des
tablettes 5.In the example of embodiment shown, the means
of the locker consist of
Les tablettes sont portées à l'avant par la
barrette 6 qui s'engage de chaque côté dans des trous
correspondants 20 ménagés dans les parois 2, près de
leur bord avant et qui, bien entendu, sont écartés
longitudinalement selon un même pas que les fentes 30.
La barrette 6 présente une partie principale 60 de
longueur correspondant à la largeur interne du casier,
prolongée des deux côtés, au-delà d'épaulements
assurant son maintien en place dans le casier, par des
parties d'extrémité de moindre diamètre 61, le diamètre
de la partie principale 60 étant lui-même de diamètre
légèrement moindre que celui des trous 20. La Fig. 2
laisse d'autre part apparaítre une butée 51 faisant
saillie sur la face de dessous des tablettes 5, qui se
trouve derrière la barrette 6 pour les empêcher de
glisser vers l'avant lorsqu'elles sont en place.The shelves are carried at the front by the
bar 6 which engages on each side in holes
correspondents 20 housed in the
Les mêmes moyens 30 et 20 sur le casier C servent
à la mise en place et au maintien d'intercalaires 7,
Figs. 1 et 4, formant le second jeu d'accessoires du
casier pour l'organiser en une suite de cases
juxtaposées.The same means 30 and 20 on rack C are used
the establishment and maintenance of
Comme les tablettes 5, les intercalaires 7 sont
des plaquettes carrées dont les coins arrière
s'insèrent dans les fentes 30. Ils sont tenus à l'avant
près de leur coin supérieur, par un verrou 8 coopérant
avec les trous 20 et servant également de support
d'informations. Comme on le voit à la Fig. 3, le verrou
représenté est un bras articulé sur l'intercalaire,
près de son coin supérieur avant, dont le côté
supérieur définit un bossage 80 conçu pour s'engager
dans un trou 20. De préférence, le bossage 80 s'évase
de son sommet vers sa base, pour permettre un
verrouillage sans jeu. L'extrémité libre du bras 8
comporte un retour 81 formant un petit panneau en
façade lorsque l'intercalaire est mis en place, destiné
à recevoir des informations. Il peut comporter en outre
un moyen d'accrochage de mini-documents, concernant par
exemple les réexpéditions.Like the
De préférence, et comme montré à la Fig. 1, les
intercalaires 7 présentent à une certaine hauteur de
leur base, à partir de leur bord avant, une échancrure
70 dont le but est de faciliter le dépôt ou le retrait
de tous formats de courrier. Dans un prototype
satisfaisant, ils ont été prévus transparents, réalisés
en matière synthétique.Preferably, and as shown in FIG. 1, the
La Fig. 4 illustre un exemple de classeur aménagé sur deux tables T par un usager, par exemple un facteur devant organiser sa tournée. Deux casiers C1 et C2 disposés verticalement sont juxtaposés sur l'une des tables T de largeur appropriée (par exemple 70 cm), formant un ensemble de "coupage", lui-même juxtaposé à un ensemble de "piquage" de trois casiers C3 à C5 couchés horizontalement et superposés sur l'autre table T de largeur correspondante (1 m). Des bossages et creux complémentaires, non représentés, peuvent être prévus sur les faces externes des casiers, pour permettre un calage mutuel entre casiers adjacents.Fig. 4 illustrates an example of a fitted filing cabinet on two tables T by a user, for example a postman having to organize his tour. Two lockers C1 and C2 arranged vertically are juxtaposed on one of the T tables of appropriate width (for example 70 cm), forming a set of "coupage", itself juxtaposed with a set of "stakes" of three compartments C3 to C5 lying horizontally and superimposed on the other table T of corresponding width (1 m). Bosses and complementary hollows, not shown, can be provided on the external faces of the lockers, for allow mutual calibration between adjacent compartments.
D'autre part, l'ensemble des casiers C1 à C5 est
surmonté en façade par des bandeaux transparents 9,
Fig. 1, qui servent de supports d'informations
supplémentaires. Ils comportent une aile horizontale 90
qui se visse sur les casiers, et une aile oblique 91
destinée à former un pan en surplomb sur l'avant des
casiers. Les bandeaux 9 ont une longueur unique de 1 m,
qui correspond donc à la longueur des casiers et au
triple de leur largeur. Ils peuvent être complétés
par des bandeaux plus courts, de longueur
correspondant au double de la largeur des
casiers. Sinon, comme dans l'arrangement de la Fig. 4,
deux bandeaux 9a, 9b peuvent se chevaucher au besoin
sur une partie de leur longueur. A noter que les
bandeaux 9 constituent une liaison haute entre casiers.On the other hand, the set of lockers C1 to C5 is
surmounted on the front by transparent strips 9,
Fig. 1, which serve as information carriers
additional. They have a horizontal wing 90
which screws onto the lockers, and an oblique wing 91
intended to form an overhanging pan on the front of
lockers. The strips 9 have a unique length of 1 m,
which therefore corresponds to the length of the lockers and the
triple their width. They can be completed
by shorter strips of length
corresponding to twice the width of
lockers. Otherwise, as in the arrangement of FIG. 4,
two
L'ensemble de "coupage" C1, C2 est pourvu
d'étagères 5 convenablement espacées, soit généralement
de deux pas d'écartement au moins (10 cm), pour
permettre d'y former et d'en retirer en toute facilité
les piles de courrier P qui leur sont adressées. Bien
qu'il ait été représenté une disposition régulière des
étagères 5, l'usager a tout loisir de les organiser
comme il l'entend, au mieux de son besoin, sachant
qu'en principe, le courrier y sera déposé empilé à
plat. Il inscrit les informations utiles sur les
retours 50.The "cutting" assembly C1, C2 is provided
Les casiers C3 à C5 de l'ensemble de "piquage" sont organisés en une succession de cases juxtaposées, destinées à recevoir en principe les plis p debout sur leur tranche (tri dit vertical), de sorte que leur largeur peut être considérablement réduite sans perte de commodité pour l'usager. Celui-ci règle la largeur des cases en fonction du volume de courrier qu'elles doivent recevoir, des réaménagements pouvant avoir lieu en cours de tri. En pratique, la largeur la plus usitée est d'un pas d'écartement (5 cm). Si une adresse est anormalement chargée, la largeur de la case peut être agrandie suffisamment pour permettre d'y déposer le courrier empilé à plat.Lockers C3 to C5 of the "pricking" set are organized in a succession of juxtaposed boxes, intended to receive in principle the folds p standing on their edge (sorting said vertical), so that their width can be reduced considerably without loss convenience for the user. This adjusts the width boxes according to the volume of mail they must receive, rearrangements that may take place being sorted. In practice, the most used width is one step apart (5 cm). If an address is abnormally loaded, the width of the box can be enlarged enough to accommodate the mail stacked flat.
Bien entendu, la disposition de la Fig. 4 n'a été décrite qu'à titre d'exemple, mais n'est absolument pas limitative. En pratique, l'utilisateur pourra organiser ses casiers selon sa convenance personnelle, en U, en L, en travées, etc. Of course, the arrangement of FIG. 4 was described only as an example, but is absolutely not limiting.

Un classeur de tri selon l'invention tel que celui de la Fig. 4, comparé à un matériel classique, représente un gain d'encombrement au sol et en hauteur d'au moins 50 %, un gain en coût plus important encore, et apporte également un maximum de souplesse et confort d'utilisation. Bien que conçue dans le cadre du tri postal, ces qualités de l'invention sont susceptibles de la rendre accessible et avantageuse partout où des objets de type courrier nécessitent un classement, notamment dans les collectivités : écoles, hôpitaux, les organismes de vente par correspondance, etc.A sorting file according to the invention such as that of Fig. 4, compared to conventional equipment, represents a gain of space on the ground and in height by at least 50%, an even greater cost saving, and also provides maximum flexibility and comfort of use. Although designed as part of sorting postal, these qualities of the invention are susceptible to make it accessible and advantageous wherever mail items require classification, especially in communities: schools, hospitals, mail order organizations, etc.
