Description

La présente invention concerne un élément de maintien pour tableau de jeu pour enfant, ainsi qu'un tableau de jeu pour enfant pourvu d'un tel élément.The present invention relates to a holding element for children's play board, as well as a play board for children provided with such an element.

De manière habituelle, un tableau de jeu pour enfant comprend deux cadres tubulaires en forme de U, dont les ailes constituent des pieds destinés à reposer sur le sol. Il est prévu une charnière d'articulation entre les deux âmes des U, ce qui permet de conférer une inclinaison variable à ces deux cadres.Usually, a play board for children includes two U-shaped tubular frames, the wings of which constitute feet intended to rest on the ground. It is provided a hinge of articulation between the two souls of the U, which gives a variable inclination to these two frames.

Ce tableau est pourvu d'au moins une face d'écriture, portée par au moins l'un de ses cadres constitutifs. Il comprend en outre un élément de maintien, permettant de solidariser mutuellement les deux cadres précités.This table is provided with at least one writing face, carried by at least one of its constituent frames. He understands in addition a holding element, making it possible to secure the two aforementioned frames.

On connaít, par US-A-4,123,127 un tel élément de maintien, qui est constitué par une boíte à peinture, susceptible de coopérer avec un chevalet. Cette boíte possède deux positions, à savoir une position ouverte dans laquelle elle assure le maintien du chevalet dans sa position de travail, ainsi qu'une position fermée. La fixation de la boíte à peinture sur les pieds du chevalet est assurée, dans la position ouverte précitée, par l'intermédiaire de vis et de crochets.We know from US-A-4,123,127 such an element of support, which consists of a paint box, likely to cooperate with an easel. This box has two positions, namely an open position in which it maintains the bridge in its position work, as well as a closed position. The fixing of the box paint on the feet of the easel is provided, in the above-mentioned open position, by means of screws and hooks.

Cette solution connue présente cependant certains inconvénients. En effet, l'élément de maintien, mentionné ci-dessus, rend le montage et le démontage du chevalet particulièrement malaisés.This known solution, however, presents certain disadvantages. Indeed, the holding element, mentioned above, makes mounting and dismounting the easel particularly awkward.

Afin de pallier ces différents inconvénients, l'invention se propose de réaliser un élément de maintien qui, tout en assurant un maintien fiable des deux cadres du tableau qu'il équipe, garantit des opérations de montage et de démontage de ce tableau, dont la rapidité et la simplicité sont accrues en comparaison avec l'art antérieur.In order to overcome these various drawbacks, the invention proposes to produce a holding element which, while ensuring reliable support of the two picture frames that it team, guarantees assembly and disassembly operations of this table, whose speed and simplicity are increased in comparison with the prior art.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet un élément de maintien pour tableau de jeu pour enfant, ledit tableau comprenant des premier et second cadres, au moins une face d'écriture portée par le ou chaque cadre, et des moyens d'articulation desdits cadres, ledit élément de maintien comprenant des première et seconde zones de fixation sur les premier et second cadres, au moins l'une de ces zones étant adaptée pour être fixée de façon amovible sur un cadre correspondant, et un volume intérieur de rangement d'accessoires, caractérisé en ce que ledit élément de maintien comprend des moyens de retenue desdits accessoires, indépendants des zones de fixation, ces moyens de retenue étant mobiles entre une position de fermeture dudit volume intérieur et une position d'accessibilité audit volume intérieur.To this end, it relates to a holding element for a children's play board, said board comprising first and second frames, at least one writing surface worn by the or each frame, and means of articulation of said frames, said holding element comprising first and second attachment zones on the first and second frames, at least one of these zones being adapted to be fixed removable way on a corresponding frame, and a volume accessory storage interior, characterized in that said holding element comprises retaining means said accessories, independent of the fixing zones, these retaining means being movable between a position of closing of said interior volume and an accessibility position internal volume audit.

Au sens de l'invention, les moyens de retenue sont indépendants des zones de fixation, en ce sens qu'ils sont aptes à être manoeuvrés indépendamment de ces zones de fixation. En d'autres termes, le tableau de jeu équipé de l'élément de maintien peut posséder plusieurs configurations. Ainsi, l'élément de maintien peut être fixé au tableau, tout en assurant soit la fermeture du volume intérieur, soit l'accessibilité à ce dernier. Ces deux dernières possibilités sont également assurées dans le cas où au moins une des zones de fixation de l'élément de maintien est désolidarisée par rapport au tableau de jeu.Within the meaning of the invention, the retaining means are independent of attachment areas, in that they are suitable for being operated independently of these areas of fixation. In other words, the game board equipped with the holding element can have several configurations. Thus, the holding element can be fixed to the board, any ensuring either the closing of the interior volume, or accessibility to the latter. These last two possibilities are also insured in the event that at least one of the zones fixing element is separated by compared to the game board.

Ce caractère indépendant des zones de fixation est particulièrement avantageux, dans la mesure où il confère une facilité d'utilisation notable au tableau de jeu équipé d'un tel élément de maintien. Ainsi, lorsque le tableau est dans sa position d'utilisation, l'élément de maintien assure de façon fiable la stabilité de ce tableau, tout en étant susceptible de recevoir des accessoires dans son volume intérieur. Par ailleurs, dans cette position de travail, l'accès à ce volume intérieur peut être empêché, sans modifier l'agencement du tableau de jeu. Ceci peut par exemple interdir à de jeunes enfants de saisir des accessoires coupants ou toxiques ce qui évite tout danger de blessure ou de contamination.This independent character of the fixing zones is particularly advantageous, insofar as it confers a notable ease of use on the game board equipped with a such a holding element. So when the array is in its position of use, the holding element ensures reliably the stability of this array, while being likely to receive accessories in its volume interior. Furthermore, in this working position, access to this interior volume can be prevented, without modifying the arrangement of the game board. This can for example prohibit young children to grab sharp accessories or toxic which avoids any danger of injury or contamination.

En outre, lorsque l'utilisateur désire procéder à une opération de démontage du tableau, il est à même d'actionner les moyens de retenue, de manière à leur conférer une position de fermeture du volume intérieur. L'utilisateur procède ensuite à l'opération correspondante, sans avoir à se soucier de l'inclinaison de l'élément de maintien, étant donné que les accessoires qui y sont logés ne peuvent en sortir. Ceci permet donc de s'affranchir de toute opération de retenue manuelle des accessoires.In addition, when the user wishes to carry out a dismantling operation of the switchboard, it can activate the retaining means, so as to give them a position closing the interior volume. User proceeds then to the corresponding operation, without having to worry of the inclination of the holding element, since the accessories housed there can not come out. this allows therefore to get rid of any manual holding operation accessories.

Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, chaque zone de fixation amovible est apte à pivoter par rapport au cadre sur lequel elle peut être fixée. Un tel pivotement est par exemple assuré en ménageant deux encoches de fixation sur une barre transversale d'un cadre correspondant. Cette mesure est avantageuse, puisque le montage et le démontage du tableau sont rendus particulièrement aisés. Ainsi, ce démontage consiste à désolidariser une des extrémités pourvues de ces encoches. De la sorte, l'élément de maintien, qui n'est alors retenu au tableau que par l'autre de ces extrémités, pivote par gravité par rapport au cadre, jusqu'à s'étendre sensiblement verticalement. Ceci permet de s'affranchir de toute opération mécanique fastidieuse, faisant par exemple appel à des moyens de fixation par vissage.According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, each removable fixing zone is suitable for pivot relative to the frame on which it can be fixed. Such pivoting is for example ensured by providing two fixing notches on a crossbar of a frame corresponding. This measure is advantageous, since the assembly and disassembly of the switchboard are made particularly wealthy. Thus, this disassembly consists in separating a ends provided with these notches. In this way, the holding element, which is then retained in the table only by the other of these ends, pivots by gravity relative to the frame, until it extends substantially vertically. This eliminates any tedious mechanical operation, using, for example, fixing means by screwing.

L'invention a également pour objet un tableau de jeu pour enfant, comprenant des premier et second cadres comportant chacun deux pieds, au moins une face d'écriture portée par le ou chaque cadre, et des moyens d'articulation de ces cadres, ledit tableau comprenant en outre au moins un élément de maintien, fixé sur chacun de ces cadres, cet élément de maintien étant fixé de façon amovible sur au moins un de ces cadres, caractérisé en ce que le ou chaque élément de maintien est tel que défini ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a game board for child, comprising first and second frames comprising each two feet, at least one writing surface carried by the or each frame, and means of articulation of these frames, said array further comprising at least one element of holding, fixed on each of these frames, this element of support being removably attached to at least one of these frames, characterized in that the or each holding element is as defined above.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le ou chaque élément de maintien est fixé sur deux barres transversales dont sont pourvus les cadres, chaque barre transversale s'étendant entre les deux pieds d'un même cadre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the or each holding element is fixed on two transverse bars with frames, each crossbar extending between the two feet of the same frame.

L'invention va être décrite ci-dessous, en référence aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un tableau de jeu pour enfant conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, à plus grande échelle, illustrant un élément de maintien du tableau de jeu de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne III-III à la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective, analogue à la figure 1, illustrant le démontage du tableau de la figure 1 ; et
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective illustrant une variante de réalisation de l'élément de maintien du tableau de jeu de la figure 1.
The invention will be described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, given only by way of nonlimiting examples and in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a game table for children according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, illustrating a holding element of the game board of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III in Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view, similar to Figure 1, illustrating the disassembly of the table of Figure 1; and
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating an alternative embodiment of the holding element of the game board of FIG. 1.

La figure 1 représente un tableau de jeu, désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 2, qui comprend deux cadres 4, 6, qui sont formés de tubes métalliques ou sont réalisés en matière plastique.Figure 1 shows a game board, designated in as a whole by reference 2, which includes two frames 4, 6, which are formed of metal tubes or are made of plastic material.

Chacun des cadres 4, 6 présente une forme de U, dont les ailes forment des pieds 8, 9, 10 et 11 prenant appui sur la surface du sol S supposée plane et horizontale.Each of the frames 4, 6 has a U shape, the wings form feet 8, 9, 10 and 11 resting on the ground surface S assumed to be flat and horizontal.

Les âmes des U constitutifs des cadres 4, 6 sont articulées mutuellement, autour d'un axe horizontal, au moyen d'une charnière non représentée. De la sorte, l'écartement angulaire des cadres reposant sur le sol est variable.The souls of the U constituting the frames 4, 6 are mutually articulated, about a horizontal axis, by means a hinge not shown. In this way, the spacing angle of the frames resting on the ground is variable.

Chaque cadre 4, 6 est pourvu d'une face d'écriture correspondante 14, 16. Cependant, seule une unique face d'écriture peut être prévue. Chaque cadre 4, 6 est en outre muni d'une barre transversale 18, 20, s'étendant entre les deux pieds 8, 9 et 10, 11 d'un même cadre 4, 6.Each frame 4, 6 is provided with a writing face corresponding 14, 16. However, only one face writing can be expected. Each frame 4, 6 is further provided with a transverse bar 18, 20, extending between the two legs 8, 9 and 10, 11 of the same frame 4, 6.

Le tableau 2 comprend également un élément de maintien destiné à solidariser mutuellement les cadres 4, 6 dans une position prédéterminée. Comme le montrent plus précisément les figures 2 et 3, cet élément de maintien est un plumier 22, réalisé par exemple en résine de synthèse.Table 2 also includes a holding element intended to secure mutually frames 4, 6 in a predetermined position. As more precisely the FIGS. 2 and 3, this holding element is a pen tray 22, made for example of synthetic resin.

Ce plumier 22, qui présente une forme globalement rectangulaire, possède deux régions latérales 24, 26, qui forment des zones de fixation sur les cadres 4, 6. Chacune des régions 24, 26 est creusée d'une encoche longitudinale 28, 30 destinée à coopérer, par encliquetage élastique, avec chaque barre transversale 18, 20. En variante, une seule de ces régions peut être fixée de façon amovible, l'autre étant fixée de façon permanente sur la barre correspondante. This pen tray 22, which has a shape overall rectangular, has two lateral regions 24, 26, which form fixing zones on the frames 4, 6. Each of the regions 24, 26 is hollowed out with a longitudinal notch 28, 30 intended to cooperate, by elastic snap-fastening, with each crossbar 18, 20. Alternatively, only one of these regions can be fixed removably, the other being fixed permanently on the corresponding bar.

La partie centrale 32 du plumier 22 comprend deux renfoncements, qui forment des compartiments creux 34. Ces derniers, qui sont séparés par une traverse 36, forment le volume intérieur du plumier 22, volume dans lequel peuvent être logés des accessoires, tels que notamment des crayons permettant l'écriture sur les faces 14, 16.The central part 32 of the pen tray 22 comprises two recesses, which form hollow compartments 34. These last, which are separated by a crosspiece 36, form the internal volume of pen tray 22, volume in which can be housed with accessories, such as pencils allowing writing on the faces 14, 16.

Chaque compartiment 34 est bordé par des parois latérales 38 et une paroi d'extrémité 40, opposée à la traverse 36. L'extrémité supérieure de chaque paroi latérale 38 forme une plage 42 surmontée par un rebord longitudinal 44 dont est pourvue la partie centrale 32. Chaque plage 42 définit, avec le tronçon du rebord 44 qui la surmonte, une glissière latérale 46.Each compartment 34 is bordered by side walls 38 and an end wall 40, opposite the crosspiece 36. The upper end of each side wall 38 forms a area 42 surmounted by a longitudinal edge 44 of which is provided with the central part 32. Each range 42 defines, with the section of the rim 44 which surmounts it, a slide lateral 46.

Par ailleurs, la paroi d'extrémité est pourvue d'une saillie 48 recourbée, s'étendant à l'opposé de la traverse 36. Cette saillie 48 définit, avec un bord 50 reliant le fond 52 à la partie supérieure du plumier, une glissière d'extrémité 54. Le fond 52 du plumier s'étend à distance d'une paroi inférieure 56 du compartiment 34, de manière à définir une glissière inférieure 58.Furthermore, the end wall is provided with a projection 48 curved, extending opposite the cross-member 36. This projection 48 defines, with an edge 50 connecting the bottom 52 at the top of the pen tray, an end slide 54. The bottom 52 of the pen tray extends away from a wall lower 56 of compartment 34, so as to define a lower slide 58.

Le plumier 22 est pourvu d'un rideau 60, monté coulissant dans les glissières respectivement latérales 46, d'extrémité 54 et inférieure 58. Ce rideau 60 comprend une succession de lames 62 transversales, articulées deux à deux. La lame finale 62', adjacente à la traverse 36 lorsque le rideau 60 ferme le compartiment 34, est pourvue d'une languette 64 assurant la préhension du rideau 60.The pen tray 22 is provided with a curtain 60, mounted sliding in the side rails 46 respectively, at the end 54 and lower 58. This curtain 60 comprises a succession of transverse blades 62, articulated two by two. The final blade 62 ', adjacent to the crosspiece 36 when the curtain 60 closes the compartment 34, is provided with a tongue 64 ensuring the gripping the curtain 60.

Cette lame finale 62' est en outre munie, à l'opposée de la languette 64, d'un ergot non représenté apte à être fixé de manière amovible, par encliquetage élastique, dans l'une des cavités 66 dont est munie la traverse 36. Etant donné que la languette 64 fait saillie vers le haut par rapport à la lame finale 62', elle retient le rideau 60, en ce sens qu'elle l'empêche de s'engager entièrement dans les glissières extérieure 54 et inférieure 58.This final blade 62 ′ is furthermore provided, opposite to the tongue 64, of a lug not shown capable of being fixed removably, by elastic snap-fastening, in one cavities 66 with which the crosspiece 36 is provided. Since the tongue 64 projects upwards relative to the final blade 62 ', it retains the curtain 60, in the sense that it prevents it from fully engaging the slides outer 54 and lower 58.

Le fonctionnement du tableau de jeu 2 va maintenant être explicité.The operation of the game board 2 will now be explicit.

Dans la position d'utilisation du tableau 2, illustrée à la figure 1, l'élément de maintien 22 est solidarisé aux deux barres transversales 18, 20, de sorte que le tableau 2 est parfaitement maintenu en place. Dans cette configuration, il est possible de faire coulisser les rideaux 60, de manière à les amener dans une position permettant l'accès aux compartiments 34 formant le volume intérieur du plumier 22.In the position of use of table 2, illustrated in Figure 1, the holding element 22 is secured to two cross bars 18, 20, so that table 2 is perfectly held in place. In this configuration, it is possible to slide the curtains 60, so to bring them in a position allowing access to compartments 34 forming the interior volume of the pen tray 22.

Dans cette position d'accessibilité, chaque rideau s'étend dans la glissière extérieure 54 et au moins partiellement dans la glissière inférieure 58, et il est possible de placer des accessoires dans chaque compartiment 34 ou de les en retirer. Les rideaux 60 peuvent être maintenus dans cette position d'accessibilité au volume intérieur, étant donné que le plumier 22 est sensiblement horizontal, de sorte que les accessoires ne peuvent s'échapper par gravité des compartiments 34.In this accessible position, each curtain extends into the outer slide 54 and at least partially in the lower slide 58, and it is possible to place accessories in each compartment 34 or remove it. Curtains 60 can be kept in this position of accessibility to the interior volume, since the pen tray 22 is substantially horizontal, so that the accessories cannot escape by gravity from the compartments 34.

Si l'on désire replier le tableau 2, en vue de son stockage, on ferme chaque rideau 60, par coopération de son ergot avec la cavité correspondante 66, de manière à placer chaque rideau dans une position de fermeture des compartiments 34. Dans cette position, chaque rideau forme un moyen de retenue des accessoires logés dans un compartiment correspondant.If we want to fold table 2, for its storage, each curtain 60 is closed, by cooperation of its lug with the corresponding cavity 66, so as to place each curtain in a closed compartment position 34. In this position, each curtain forms a means of retaining accessories housed in a corresponding compartment.

Puis, comme le montre notamment la figure 4, on désolidarise l'une 24 des régions latérales du plumier 22 par rapport à la barre transversale 18, le recevant initialement. Le plumier 22 est alors lié à une seule barre transversale 20, de sorte que, du fait de la gravité, il retombe selon la flèche F, jusqu'à s'étendre sensiblement verticalement. On rapproche ensuite les deux cadres 4, 6 l'un de l'autre, selon la flèche F', de manière à conférer au tableau 2 un encombrement minimal, ce qui est avantageux en vue de son stockage.Then, as shown in particular in Figure 4, we separate one 24 of the pen tray 22 lateral regions relative to to the crossbar 18, receiving it initially. The pen tray 22 is then linked to a single crossbar 20, so that, due to gravity, it falls according to the arrow F, until it extends substantially vertically. We then bring the two frames 4, 6 together, according to arrow F ', so as to give table 2 a space requirement minimal, which is advantageous for its storage.

Durant le démontage et pendant la phase de stockage, du fait de la présence des rideaux 60, les accessoires placés dans les compartiments 34 ne peuvent s'en échapper.During disassembly and during the storage phase, made of the presence of curtains 60, the accessories placed in compartments 34 cannot escape.

La figure 5 illustre une variante de réalisation de l'élément de maintien. Sur cette figure, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures précédentes sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 100. FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the holding element. In this figure, the elements mechanical similar to those of the previous figures are assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 100.

Le plumier 122 est pourvu de deux compartiments 134 séparés par une traverse médiane 136. Des charnières 168 sont prévues sur chacun des bords longitudinaux 138 des compartiments 134, ces bords 138 étant opposés à la traverse 136. Ces charnières 168 permettent la réception, par encliquetage élastique, d'un axe 170 d'un volet 172, pivotant autour de cet axe 170.The pen tray 122 is provided with two compartments 134 separated by a central crosspiece 136. Hinges 168 are provided on each of the longitudinal edges 138 of the compartments 134, these edges 138 being opposite to the cross-member 136. These 168 hinges allow reception, by snap-fastening elastic, of an axis 170 of a flap 172, pivoting around this axis 170.

Chaque volet 172, de forme à peu près carrée, est pourvue d'une poignée 174 et d'un ergot 176 destiné à coopérer avec une des cavités non représentées, analogues à celles 66, ménagées dans la face supérieure de la traverse 136. Chaque volet 172 est mobile entre une position d'accessibilité à un compartiment 134 correspondant, illustrée sur la partie gauche de cette figure 4, et une position de fermeture de ce compartiment, illustrée sur la partie droite de cette figure.Each flap 172, of roughly square shape, is provided a handle 174 and a lug 176 intended to cooperate with one of the cavities not shown, similar to those 66, formed in the upper face of the cross-member 136. Each flap 172 is movable between a position of accessibility to a corresponding compartment 134, illustrated on the left side of this figure 4, and a closed position of this compartment, illustrated on the right side of this figure.

Le fonctionnement du plumier 122, formant élément de maintien du tableau, est analogue à celui du plumier 22 décrit ci-dessus. Lorsque l'on désire disposer des accessoires dans l'un des compartiments 134, ou les en retirer, on soulève le volet correspondant 172, par action sur sa poignée 174, de manière à l'amener dans sa position d'accessibilité. Puis, on referme le volet 172, par coopération de l'ergot 176 avec la cavité 166, de manière à l'amener dans sa position de fermeture du compartiment 164. Lors du démontage et du stockage du tableau, chaque volet 172 est maintenu dans la position de fermeture précitée, de manière à retenir les accessoires dans chaque compartiment 134, afin d'éviter leur chute par gravité.The functioning of the pen tray 122, forming an element of maintenance of the table, is similar to that of the pen tray 22 described above. When you want to have accessories in one of the compartments 134, or remove them, the corresponding flap 172, by action on its handle 174, of so as to bring it into its accessible position. Then, we closes shutter 172, by cooperation of lug 176 with the cavity 166, so as to bring it into its position of closing of compartment 164. During disassembly and table storage, each flap 172 is kept in the above closing position, so as to retain the accessories in each compartment 134, in order to avoid their fall by gravity.
