Description

L'invention concerne des armoires métalliques monoblocs à rideaux verticaux munies d'un socle robuste.The invention relates to single-piece metal cabinets with vertical curtains fitted with a robust base.

Dans la description qui suit, les termes tels que "haut", "bas", "avant", "arrière", "supérieur" ou "inférieur" se réfèrent à la position normale d'utilisation des armoires.In the following description, terms such as "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", "upper" or "lower" refer to the normal position of use of the cabinets.

On connaît déjà des armoires monoblocs, ainsi appelées parce qu'elles comprennent un fond, des parois latérales, un dessus et un piètement qui forment un corps monobloc. Dans le cas des armoires métalliques, ce corps monobloc est soudé.One-piece cabinets are already known, so called because they include a bottom, side walls, a top and a base which form a one-piece body. In the case of metal cabinets, this one-piece body is welded.

Il existe plusieurs types d'armoires monoblocs, selon la manière dont leur ouverture d'accès est fermée. On connaît ainsi des armoires à portes battantes qui pivotent autour d'un axe vertical, à portes pliantes, et à portes coulissantes comprenant au moins deux portes qui coulissent dans des plans parallèles très rapprochés. On connaît aussi des armoires à rideaux. Les rideaux peuvent être de type horizontal (coulissant en direction verticale) ou de type vertical (coulissant en direction horizontale). Dans ces armoires, chaque rideau se loge dans un espace compris entre une paroi (supérieure-inférieure ou latérale) et une joue incorporée à l'intérieur du corps monobloc.There are several types of monoblock cabinets, depending on how their access opening is closed. Known cupboards with hinged doors which pivot about a vertical axis, with folding doors, and with sliding doors comprising at least two doors which slide in very close parallel planes. Curtain cabinets are also known. Curtains can be horizontal (sliding in a vertical direction) or vertical (sliding in a horizontal direction). In these cabinets, each curtain is housed in a space between a wall (upper-lower or side) and a cheek incorporated inside the one-piece body.

L'invention concerne des armoires monoblocs métalliques du type à rideaux vertical (comprenant un seul rideau ou deux rideaux) se déplaçant en direction horizontale.The invention relates to one-piece metal cabinets of the vertical curtain type (comprising a single curtain or two curtains) moving in a horizontal direction.

On considère d'abord les armoires monoblocs à rideau vertical de la technique antérieure. Ces armoires sont réalisées avec un seul rideau (faible largeur de l'ordre de 60 cm) ou le plus souvent avec deux rideaux (largeur de l'ordre de 80 à 120 cm en général). Les rideaux sont guidés horizontalement par un dispositif de guidage comprenant un rail supérieur et un rail inférieur.We first consider the monoblock cabinets with vertical curtain of the prior art. These cabinets are made with a single curtain (narrow width of the order of 60 cm) or most often with two curtains (width of the order of 80 to 120 cm in general). The curtains are guided horizontally by a guide device comprising an upper rail and a lower rail.

On considère, pour décrire le problème posé par la technique antérieure, une armoire à deux rideaux verticaux.To describe the problem posed by the prior art, we consider a cabinet with two vertical curtains.

Le piètement des armoires monoblocs à rideaux vertical comporte habituellement deux traverses d'extrémité, munies de vérins de réglage en hauteur, et un simple bandeau avant, le bandeau et les traverses étant fixés ou intégrés à une tablette sur laquelle est aussi fixé le rail inférieur de guidage du rideau. Des joues de support de tablettes de rangement sont en appui sur la tablette du piètement. Ainsi, les joues et le rail de guidage sont supportés au-dessus de la surface de la tablette.The base of monobloc cabinets with vertical curtains usually includes two end crosspieces, fitted with height adjustment jacks, and a simple front panel, the strip and the crosspieces being fixed or integrated into a shelf on which is also fixed the lower guide rail of the curtain. Cheeks supporting the storage shelves are supported on the shelf of the base. Thus, the cheeks and the guide rail are supported above the surface of the shelf.

Lors de la fabrication de ces armoires, après que les rails de guidage supérieur et inférieur ont été positionnés près des parois latérales, les joues sont fixées par vissage près de ces rails à des pattes supérieures et inférieures.During the manufacture of these cabinets, after the upper and lower guide rails have been positioned near the side walls, the cheeks are fixed by screwing near these rails to upper and lower legs.

Ces armoires présentent deux inconvénients en particulier.These cabinets have two drawbacks in particular.

D'abord, en général, les objets les plus lourds sont placés à la partie inférieure des armoires, c'est-à-dire posés sur la tablette du piètement plutôt que sur des tablettes supérieures. Comme la tablette du piètement n'est supportée qu'à ses bords et extrémités, elle peut facilement fléchir.First, in general, the heaviest objects are placed at the bottom of the cupboards, that is to say placed on the shelf of the base rather than on upper shelves. As the base shelf is only supported at its edges and ends, it can easily flex.

Ensuite, comme le rail de guidage est fixé sur la tablette, il est en saillie par rapport à celle-ci. Lorsque les lourdes charges placées sur cette tablette doivent être sorties de l'armoire, elles doivent être soulevées pour pouvoir passer au-dessus du rail de guidage. Elles peuvent même parfois détériorer ce rail.Then, as the guide rail is fixed on the shelf, it projects from it. When the heavy loads placed on this shelf must be removed from the cabinet, they must be lifted so that they can pass over the guide rail. They can even sometimes damage this rail.

Enfin, lors de la fixation des joues, il faut placer au moins deux vis de retenue des joues sur les pattes à des emplacements peu accessibles, sans observation des trous des pattes. L'opération nécessaire est donc délicate et doit être exécutée par une personne en position inconfortable.Finally, when fixing the cheeks, at least two cheek retaining screws must be placed on the legs in places that are not easily accessible, without observing the holes in the legs. The necessary operation is therefore delicate and must be carried out by a person in an uncomfortable position.

L'invention remédie à ces inconvénients de la technique antérieure. A cet effet, elle met en oeuvre un véritable socle robuste, assurant le support de la tablette du piètement à un emplacement intermédiaire au moins, si bien qu'elle ne fléchit pas sous l'action des lourdes charges. Ensuite, la surface de la tablette se trouve au niveau de la partie supérieure du rail ou au-dessus, si bien qu'elle facilite l'introduction et l'extraction de ces charges par simple glissement sur la tablette. Enfin, les joues sont maintenues par la tablette, et la fixation des joués par des vis peut être supprimée.The invention overcomes these drawbacks of the prior art. To this end, it uses a real robust base, ensuring the support of the tablet of the base at least in an intermediate location, so that it does not bend under the action of heavy loads. Then, the surface of the shelf is at the top of the rail or above, so that it facilitates the introduction and extraction of these loads by simply sliding on the shelf. Finally, the cheeks are held by the tablet, and the fixing of the cheeks by screws can be eliminated.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne une armoire métallique monobloc à rideau vertical, du type qui comprend un corps monobloc soudé comportant un fond, des parois latérales, un dessus et un piètement, l'armoire comportant en outre au moins une joue disposée parallèlement à une paroi latérale, la joue délimitant entre elle et 1a paroi latérale voisine un espace de logement d'un rideau vertical mobile horizontalement dans des dispositifs supérieur et inférieur de guidage, afin que le rideau soit escamotable dans cet espace délimité entre la paroi latérale et la joue ; selon l'invention, le piétement est constitué par un socle robuste qui comprend au moins deux longerons, deux traverses munies de vérins de réglage en hauteur, et une entretoise ayant une position intermédiaire entre les traverses, les longerons, les traverses et l'entretoise étant soudés sous forme d'un corps en une seule pièce, le dispositif inférieur de guidage est supporté par un longeron et au moins une traverse, et l'armoire comporte en outre une tablette supportée par le socle.More specifically, the invention relates to a one-piece metal cabinet with vertical curtain, of the type which comprises a one-piece welded body comprising a bottom, side walls, a top and a base, the cabinet further comprising at least one cheek disposed parallel to a side wall, the cheek defining between it and the adjacent side wall a space for housing a vertical curtain movable horizontally in upper and lower guide devices, so that the curtain is retractable in this space defined between the side wall and the play ; according to the invention, the base consists of a robust base which comprises at least two side members, two cross members provided with height adjustment jacks, and a spacer having an intermediate position between the cross members, the side members, the cross members and the spacer being welded in the form of a body in one piece, the lower guide device is supported by a spar and at least one cross member, and the cabinet further comprises a shelf supported by the base.

De préférence, la tablette est supportée par le socle de manière qu'elle soit en appui sur l'entretoise.Preferably, the tablet is supported by the base so that it is supported on the spacer.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, le support de la tablette sur le socle est tel que la hauteur de la surface supérieure de la tablette est supérieure ou égale à la hauteur du haut du dispositif inférieur de guidage.In an advantageous embodiment, the support of the tablet on the base is such that the height of the upper surface of the tablet is greater than or equal to the height of the top of the lower guide device.

De préférence, les joues de l'armoire sont posées sur les traverses, et elles sont maintenues du côté extérieur par les traverses, et du côté intérieur par la tablette.Preferably, the cheeks of the cabinet are placed on the crosspieces, and they are held on the outside by the crosspieces, and on the inside by the shelf.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la tablette est amovible et permet le dégagement de l'espace interne du socle.In an advantageous embodiment, the tablet is removable and allows the clearance of the internal space of the base.

Dans une variante, le socle comporte, parallèlement à un longeron, une goulotte de passage de câbles. De préférence, la goulotte est placée à l'arrière, la joue de l'armoire délimite une goulotte verticale avec le fond, et la goulotte du socle et la goulotte verticale communiquent pour le passage de câbles.Alternatively, the base comprises, parallel to a spar, a cable passage trough. Preferably, the chute is placed at the rear, the cheek of the cabinet delimits a vertical chute with the bottom, and the base chute and the vertical chute communicate for the passage of cables.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, l'armoire comporte en outre, en coopération avec chacune des deux traverses, un support à roulettes qui comprend un corps de support destiné à être appliqué sous une traverse et muni de deux axes de support de roulettes, et deux roulettes orientables montées chacune sur un des axes. De préférence, chaque roulette avant est munie d'un frein de blocage.In another advantageous embodiment, the cabinet further comprises, in cooperation with each of the two crosspieces, a support on rollers which comprises a support body intended to be applied under a crosspiece and provided with two axes of support for rollers, and two swivel casters each mounted on one of the axes. Preferably, each front caster is provided with a locking brake.

L'invention concerne aussi un support à roulettes destiné à être fixé a une traverse d'armoire telle que définie par les paragraphes précédents, et qui comprend un corps de support et des roulettes, le corps ayant au moins deux trous. de passage d'organes de fixation correspondant aux trous de montage de vérin de l'armoire lorsque le support à roulettes est en coopération avec une armoire.The invention also relates to a support on casters intended to be fixed to a cabinet cross member as defined by the preceding paragraphs, and which comprises a support body and casters, the body having at least two holes. passage of fasteners corresponding to the cylinder mounting holes of the cabinet when the roller support is in cooperation with a cabinet.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre d'exemples de réalisation, faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un exemple d'armoire selon l'invention, représentée sans ses rideaux ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue éclatée du piètement de l'armoire de la figure 1, dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention
  • la figure 3 est une vue éclatée d'un coin inférieur de l'armoire de la figure 1, lorsqu'elle est munie d'un dispositif de déplacement ; et
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective de la partie inférieure d'une variante d'armoire selon l'invention, dont le socle comporte une goulotte de passage de câbles.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of embodiments, made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an example of a cabinet according to the invention, shown without its curtains;
  • Figure 2 is an exploded view of the base of the cabinet of Figure 1, in one embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 3 is an exploded view of a lower corner of the cabinet of Figure 1, when provided with a displacement device; and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the lower part of a variant of a cabinet according to the invention, the base of which comprises a cable passage trough.

La figure 1 représente une armoire monobloc à rideaux verticaux, dont les rideaux ont été retirés. Sur la figure 1, l'armoire 10 comporte un corps monobloc constitué de deux parois latérales 12, d'un dessus d'armoire 14, d'un fond 16 et d'un piètement 18. Ces éléments forment un corps monobloc.Figure 1 shows a one-piece cabinet with vertical curtains, the curtains of which have been removed. In FIG. 1, the cabinet 10 comprises a one-piece body consisting of two side walls 12, a top of the cabinet 14, a bottom 16 and a base 18. These elements form a one-piece body.

L'armoire 10 représentée sur la figure 1 comporte, de chaque côté, une joue 20 dont le bord avant 24 est distant de l'avant de la paroi latérale et laisse une ouverture 25 entre la joue et la paroi latérale pour le passage d'un rideau. En outre, la joue comporte des alignements d'orifices 22, appelés crémaillères, destinés à la fixation d'accessoires de support de tablettes de rangement.The cabinet 10 shown in Figure 1 has, on each side, a cheek 20 whose front edge 24 is distant from the front of the side wall and leaves an opening 25 between the cheek and the side wall for the passage of a curtain. In addition, the cheek has alignments of orifices 22, called racks, intended for fixing accessories for supporting storage shelves.

L'espace compris entre la joue et la paroi latérale est partiellement ouvert à l'avant, par l'ouverture 25 comprise entre le bord 24 et la paroi latérale.The space between the cheek and the side wall is partially open at the front, through the opening 25 between the edge 24 and the side wall.

On note sur la figure 1 que des tablettes 32 et des châssis coulissants 34 peuvent constituer des accessoires de rangement de l'armoire. La figure 1 indique aussi que l'armoire comporte, en parties haute et basse, des orifices 36 munis de passe-câbles.Note in Figure 1 that shelves 32 and sliding frames 34 may constitute storage accessories for the cabinet. Figure 1 also indicates that the cabinet has, in the upper and lower parts, orifices 36 provided with cable grommets.

La figure 2 représente le piètement 18 constitué d'un socle selon l'invention. Ce socle comporte deux longerons 30 raccordés à leurs extrémités par des traverses 31. Une entretoise 32 raccorde les deux longerons 30 à peu près à mi-distance entre les deux traverses 31. Une tablette amovible 33 s'applique sur les longerons 30 et la traversé 32. A cet effet, cette tablette du piètement a des bords pliés vers le bas qui se logent dans des rainures 34 formées aux parties supérieures des longerons et s'appuient sur les traverses 31. De cette manière, la partie centrale de la tablette amovible 33 est directement supportée par la face supérieure 36 de l'entretoise 32.Figure 2 shows the base 18 consisting of a base according to the invention. This base has two side members 30 connected at their ends by cross members 31. A spacer 32 connects the two side members 30 approximately halfway between the two cross members 31. A removable shelf 33 is applied to the side members 30 and the cross member 32. For this purpose, this shelf of the base has edges folded downwards which are housed in grooves 34 formed in the upper parts of the side members and rest on the crosspieces 31. In this way, the central part of the removable shelf 33 is directly supported by the upper face 36 of the spacer 32.

On note que les traverses 31 sont renforcées par des organes 38 au niveau des trous 40 de montage de vérins. Ces organes 38 ont des pattes qui passent dans des trous de la traverse pour retenir vers l'extérieur la joue correspondante. Chaque vérin est vissé dans un écrou soudé de préférence sur l'organe 38, en face des trous 40.It will be noted that the cross members 31 are reinforced by members 38 at the level of the holes 40 for mounting jacks. These members 38 have legs which pass through holes in the cross member to retain the corresponding cheek towards the outside. Each jack is screwed into a nut, preferably welded to the member 38, opposite the holes 40.

On a aussi représenté deux rails de guidage 52 des rideaux coulissants. Ces rails comportent une partie avant logée dans la rainure 34 du longeron avant et une partie courbée supportée par une traverse 31.Also shown are two guide rails 52 of the sliding curtains. These rails have a front part housed in the groove 34 of the front spar and a curved part supported by a cross member 31.

Une première caractéristique de la disposition représentée sur la figure 2 est que la tablette 33 est supportée à toute sa périphérie et en son milieu ; elle ne fléchit donc pas, même lorsqu'elle est lourdement chargée.A first characteristic of the arrangement shown in Figure 2 is that the shelf 33 is supported at its entire periphery and in the middle; it therefore does not flex, even when it is heavily loaded.

Une seconde caractéristique de la disposition représentée sur la figure 2 est que, comme les rails 52 se logent dans la rainure 34 du longeron avant, la surface supérieure de la tablette 33 se trouve pratiquement au niveau de la partie supérieure des rails 52. De cette manière, de lourdes charges peuvent être placées sur la tablette 33 et retirées de celle-ci par simple glissement sur la tablette, sans que le rail soit accroché. En outre, cette disposition présente de grands avantages esthétiques, puisque le rail inférieur de guidage est très peu apparent.A second characteristic of the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 is that, as the rails 52 are housed in the groove 34 of the front spar, the upper surface of the shelf 33 is practically at the level of the upper part of the rails 52. From this In this way, heavy loads can be placed on the shelf 33 and removed from it by simply sliding on the shelf, without the rail being hooked. In addition, this arrangement has great aesthetic advantages, since the lower guide rail is hardly visible.

Une troisième caractéristique de la disposition représentée sur la figure 2 est que la tablette 33 est au-dessus des traverses 31 ; elle peut donc bloquer vers l'intérieur les joues 20 qui sont en appui sur ces traverses. Ainsi, il n'est pas nécessaire de placer deux vis de retenue des joues sur des pattes à des emplacements peu accessibles, sans observation des trous des pattes. L'opération de montage des joues est donc simple et rapide.A third characteristic of the arrangement shown in Figure 2 is that the shelf 33 is above the cross members 31; it can therefore block inwardly the cheeks 20 which are supported on these crosspieces. Thus, it is not necessary to place two cheek retaining screws on legs in places that are not easily accessible, without observing the holes in the legs. The cheek mounting operation is therefore simple and quick.

Une quatrième caractéristique de la disposition représentée sur la figure 2 est que la tablette 33 est amovible et donne accès à une sorte de coffre délimité dans le socle et donnant accès par exemple à des dispositifs électriques.A fourth characteristic of the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 is that the shelf 33 is removable and gives access to a sort of trunk delimited in the base and giving access for example to electrical devices.

La figure 4 représente une variante de réalisation dans laquelle le socle comporte une goulotte longitudinale couverte par une trappe d'accès. Plus précisément, la tablette est formée de deux éléments, une partie 33' correspondant à la partie 33 de la figure 2, et une partie 33" placée de préférence vers l'arrière et surmontant une goulotte de passage de câbles.Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment in which the base has a longitudinal chute covered by an access hatch. More specifically, the shelf is formed of two elements, a part 33 ′ corresponding to the part 33 of FIG. 2, and a part 33 ″ preferably placed towards the rear and surmounting a cable passage trough.

Lorsque l'armoire doit être raccordée à un câblage électrique ou informatique par exemple, le raccordement peut être réalisé soit par passage de câbles par les orifices 36 indiqués sur la figure 1, soit directement à travers le socle par soulèvement de la tablette inférieure 33 ou 33', 33", qui peut donner accès directement à une prise de raccordement, souvent prévue dans un plancher. Les câbles peuvent alors être guidés à l'intérieur du socle dans la goulotte et dans des goulottes latérales qui peuvent être formées à l'arriére des joues.When the cabinet must be connected to an electrical or computer wiring for example, the connection can be made either by passing cables through the holes 36 indicated in Figure 1, or directly through the base by lifting the lower shelf 33 or 33 ', 33 ", which can give direct access to a connection socket, often provided in a floor. The cables can then be guided inside the base in the trough and in side troughs which can be formed at the back of the cheeks .

La figure 3 représente sous forme éclatée un dispositif de montage d'une armoire afin qu'elle puisse être déplacée.Figure 3 shows in exploded form a device for mounting a cabinet so that it can be moved.

Sur la figure 3, le piètement 18 comporte la traverse 31 munie de l'organe de renforcement 38, ayant des trous 40 destinés normalement au montage de vérins de réglage en hauteur. Sur la figure 3, les vérins sont retirés et un support de roulettes ayant un corps 42 est disposé en face de la traverse 38 afin que, par des trous 44, il puisse être fixé aux trous 40 de montage de vérins. Lorsque le corps de support 42 a été fixé à la traverse, des roulettes 48 peuvent être enclenchées élastiquement sur des axes 46 de rotation qui sont fixés au support 42. De préférence, les roulettes placées à l'avant de l'armoire possèdent un frein 50.In Figure 3, the base 18 comprises the cross member 31 provided with the reinforcing member 38, having holes 40 normally intended for mounting height adjustment cylinders. In FIG. 3, the jacks are removed and a roller support having a body 42 is arranged opposite the cross-member 38 so that, by holes 44, it can be fixed to the holes 40 for mounting jacks. When the support body 42 has been fixed to the cross member, rollers 48 can be engaged elastically on axes 46 of rotation which are fixed to the support 42. Preferably, the rollers placed at the front of the cabinet have a brake 50.

L'invention concerne donc une armoire de grande rigidité obtenue grâce à son socle, qui peut être munie d'un câblage et qui peut cependant être déplacée sur des roulettes. Une telle armoire est utile comme armoire "nomade", c'est-à-dire destinée à du personnel dont la présence dans l'entreprise est réduite, dans des locaux qui sont cependant constamment utilisés par du personnel tournant.The invention therefore relates to a high-rigidity cabinet obtained by virtue of its base, which can be provided with cabling and which can however be moved on casters. Such a cabinet is useful as a "nomadic" cabinet, that is to say intended for personnel whose presence in the company is reduced, in premises which are however constantly used by rotating personnel.

Bien qu'on ait décrit l'invention en détail en référence à une armoire à deux rideaux, elle s'applique aussi aux armoires à un seul rideau.Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to a cabinet with two curtains, it also applies to cabinets with a single curtain.

Bien entendu, diverses modifications peuvent être apportées par l'homme de l'art aux armoires et supports qui viennent d'être décrits uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to the cabinets and supports which have just been described solely by way of non-limiting example without departing from the scope of the invention.
