  • the assembly element 1 is mainly consisting of at least two angular parts 2 with a substantially flat structure having at least one external offset 3 on either side of the angle of said parts 3 and by an elongated part 4 having a cross section in V and at least two transverse cuts 5 in the form of slits, each piece angular 2 extending, through a corresponding slot 5, between the two wings 4 ' of part 4 with a V section with a part 2 'delimited by the two at least 3 recesses present and being rigidly secured to said part 4 with V-shaped section by pinching said part 2 'between the two wings 4' of this piece 4.
  • the assembly element 1 is essentially formed by partial fitting of the outer corners of the angular pieces 2 in the room elongated 4 and crimping of said angular parts 2 in their nested position, without using any additional fixing means, or using any means of securing.
  • the elongated part 4 with a V section is formed by folding a flat elongated plate along a longitudinal LP fold line, after passage parts 2 'delimited by the recesses 3 of the angular parts 2 through the corresponding slots 5.
  • the solid portions extending between the ends of the slots 5 and the outer edges of the wings 4 "of the part 4 with a V section have a width 1 substantially equivalent to or at least slightly greater than the height recesses 3, the angle ⁇ formed by the two legs 2 "of the angular parts 2 being advantageously between 30 ° and 150 °, preferably between 60 ° and 120 °.
  • angles ⁇ between the upper and lower 2 "legs at 90 ° it is possible to make assemblies of planar elements, such as panels or plates, with a view to forming box or frame structures having, where appropriate, corners of various shapes and consisting of three, four, five, six or more of constituent plates or panels.
  • the thickness of the angular pieces 2 is substantially equal to the width of the slots 5 of the elongated part 4 with a V section, said slots 5 having a length slightly greater than the largest width L of the angular parts 2 'delimited by the recesses 3, so to allow the passage of said angular parts 2 "while retaining a width I maximum solid portions for a given wing width 4 '.
  • the parts angular 2 " may have a disc portion conformation, the outer edge in a circular arc is substantially flush with the edges outer 4 "of the wings 4 'of the part 4.
  • the outer edges of the parts 2 "angles may alternatively also have other shapes in depending on the desired aesthetic aspect (triangular shape, bulb shape, heraldic form, ).
  • the recesses 3 are formed by the straight sides of notches 3 ′, preferably rectangular, cut in the legs 2 "constituting the angular parts 2 and form between them an angle ⁇ between 30 ° and 150 °, preferably between 60 ° and 120 °.
  • the assembly element I comprises two angular parts 2 fixed nearby of the two ends of the elongated part 4 with a V section and of which the two legs 2 " constitutive are each provided with at least one perforation 6 and extended by folded flat end portions 7, each also provided with minus a perforation 7 ′, which can serve, for example, as a hanging support to a hinge secured to a leaf and formed therewith an articulation of the hinge type.
  • bonding or welding points can be provided between the part delimited by the recesses 3 of the angular parts 2 and the part elongated 4 with V section, these material connection points being invisible to the level of the internal faces of the wings 4 ′ of said part 4.
  • the angular parts 2 can be provided, on at least one of their faces, protuberances or extra thicknesses 8 in the form of V formed and positioned in such a way that the elongated part 4 has a cross-section V take support with at least a portion of one or more 5 ′ edges (s) delimiting each slot 5 on said extra thicknesses or protuberances 8 after folding of said elongated part 4 by folding the two wings 4 'against the dropouts opposites 3 along a longitudinal fold line LP.
  • protuberances or extra thicknesses 8 can also be replaced by cutouts of similar shape allowing them to connect 5 'edges of the slots 5 or insert a block or wedge block with section in V, so as to thus block in position the angular parts 2 partially nested in the elongated part 4 with a V section.
  • parts 2 and 4 are advantageously made of a treated sheet against attacks by external atmospheric agents and sufficiently rigid, in particular with regard to part 4, for mounting resistant by simple interlocking and pinching.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of manufacture of an assembly element 1 as described above.
  • this method essentially consists in separately producing an elongated flat part 4 provided with at least two transverse cutouts 5 in the form of slots and at least two substantially flat angular pieces 2 provided in particular with at least two opposite external recesses 3 located on either side of the median plane MS of angle of corner pieces 2, to fit each corner piece 2 into a corresponding slot 5 until the part 2 'delimited by the recesses 3 extend beyond said corresponding slot 5, to fold the elongated piece 4 flat along a longitudinal line LP by folding the two halves 4 'of said piece 4 elongated flat, forming the two wings 4' of the piece elongated 4 with resulting V-section, against said recesses 3 so as to tighten said part 2 'by pinching.
  • the assembly element 1 In order to be able to respond to resistance and higher rigidity, it is possible to increase the characteristics of the assembly element 1 by making one or more connections local material (s) between the V-shaped elongated part 4 and the parts angular 2 by welding, gluing or the like, preferably in such a way that said connection is not visible in the interior space delimited by the two wings 4 'of the elongated part 4 with V section.
  • the panels 12 have profiled longitudinal edges 13 folded inwards and the interior extensions include at least one fixing wing 14 located parallel and in surface contact with the legs 2 "of the angular parts 2 of an assembly element 1 in the mounting position and at least one wing of wedging 14 'holding said legs 2 "against the corresponding panel 12.
  • the box 10 forming the outer structural envelope of the set 9 of mailboxes may have a variable number of panels 12 and therefore have various shapes (triangular, rectangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, ...), the assembly of the different constituent panels 12 made by means of assembly elements 1, the 2 "legs form between them an angle ⁇ of suitable value.
  • profiled panels 12 may have dimensions any longitudinal and form a set 9 of adapted mailboxes the varying needs of different sites.
  • the set 9 of mailboxes can advantageously include hinges 15 for articulation by pivoting of a support frame 16 of cover or collective door each formed by a plate 15 'fixed to said frame 16 and extended by a flat hook 15 "carrying at its end a lug 15" intended for nest with the possibility of rotation in a 7 'perforation of a portion flat end folded 7 of a tab 2 "of an angular piece 2 of an element assembly 1.
  • each support frame 16 on the set 9 of boxes for letters is preferably carried out via two hinges 15 each articulated on a folded end portion 7 of a 2 "leg of two assembly elements 1 mounted on the two ends of a panel 12, both hinges 15 being hung either in the same direction or in opposite directions, their lugs 15 "'being however aligned with each other and forming the pivot axis of the hinge thus formed.
  • compartmentalisation 11 is mainly composed of horizontal planar elements 17 forming floors and provided with assembly slots 17 ′ and planar elements vertical 18 forming partitions and provided with tabs 18 'intended to fit together in the assembly slots 17 ′ of the horizontal planar elements 17 during the mounting of the internal compartmentalization structure, each compartment or cell 19 delimited by said structure being associated with an individual door mounted in the support frame 16 of a collective door.
  • this internal compartmentalization structure 11 is preferably fixed in position in the box 10 by means of lateral edges of the planar elements horizontal 17 and vertical 18 folded at right angles.
  • the internal compartmentalization structure 11 can be produced with planar elements 17 and 18 of small thicknesses, since the latter do not have to contribute to the rigidity of said set 9 of mailboxes.
