Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux coffrets destinés à contenir des objets délicats ou de grande valeur. De tels coffrets peuvent comprendre une enveloppe, formée d'une boíte rigide comportant un réceptacle et un couvercle monté articulé sur ce réceptacle. Ce dernier est agencé pour recevoir un ou plusieurs plateaux destinés à supporter les objets considérés, par exemple des montres ou des bijoux. Un tel coffret est, en outre, muni d'un fermoir et d'une poignée pour en faciliter le transport. Il est particulièrement bien adapté pour abriter et transporter une collection de pièces, en vue de la présenter à des clients.The present invention relates to boxes intended to contain objects delicate or of great value. Such boxes may include a envelope, formed of a rigid box comprising a receptacle and a cover hinged mounted on this receptacle. The latter is arranged to receive one or several trays intended to support the objects considered, for example watches or jewelry. Such a box is, moreover, provided with a clasp and a handle for easy transport. It is particularly well suited for house and transport a collection of pieces, with a view to presenting it to clients.

On connaít, par ailleurs, des écrins pour montre ou bijou, dans lesquels un seul objet est rangé. Ils comportent aussi un réceptacle, un couvercle monté pivotant sur le réceptacle, et un capitonnage disposé à l'intérieur du réceptacle et destiné à positionner et à protéger l'objet considéré.We also know cases for watches or jewelry, in which only one object is stored. They also have a receptacle, a pivotally mounted cover on the receptacle, and a padding arranged inside the receptacle and intended to position and protect the object in question.

Ni les coffrets, ni les écrins ne sont bien adaptés pour ranger un objet de valeur dans un bagage individuel. Les coffrets décrits ci-dessus sont agencés pour recevoir un grand nombre de pièces, et doivent être portés individuellement. Les écrins sont assez volumineux et comportent des charnières en métal susceptibles de s'accrocher au tissu d'un vêtement, ce qui peut l'abímer.Neither the boxes nor the boxes are well suited for storing valuables in individual luggage. The boxes described above are designed to receive a large number of pieces, and must be worn individually. The boxes are quite large and have metal hinges likely clinging to the fabric of a garment, which can damage it.

Certains bagages disposent d'un compartiment destiné à recevoir de tels objets. Ils offrent de bonnes conditions de rangement pendant le déplacement, mais nécessitent de transférer les objets dans le coffre de la chambre d'hôtel. Il est par ailleurs nécessaire de choisir le bagage dans sa globalité, avec cet accessoire. Le but de la présente invention est de réaliser un coffret agencé pour servir de moyen de rangement à des objets de valeur, à l'instar de montres ou de bijoux, facilement transportable dans un bagage et sans risque d'abímer les vêtements se trouvant dans le voisinage immédiat. Il comporte, de manière connue, une enveloppe et un plateau disposé dans cette enveloppe et muni d'au moins un logement destiné à recevoir au moins l'un de ces objets.Certain luggage has a compartment intended to receive such objects. They offer good storage conditions while on the move, but require transferring items to the hotel room safe. It is also necessary to choose the baggage in its entirety, with this accessory. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a box arranged to serve as means of storage for valuables, such as watches or jewelry, easily transportable in luggage and without risk of damaging clothes located in the immediate vicinity. It comprises, in known manner, a envelope and a tray arranged in this envelope and provided with at least one housing intended to receive at least one of these objects.

Il est caractérisé en ce que l'enveloppe comprend :

  • une assise destinée à recevoir le plateau,
  • des rabats, en matériau souple, disposés autour de l'assise et agencés de manière, à ce qu'ils couvrent au moins partiellement le plateau,
  • des moyens de maintien des rabats également en matériau souple et comprenant deux parties solidaires chacune de l'un des rabats, et
  • un organe de rigidification, en matériau rigide, présentant une surface plane.
It is characterized in that the envelope comprises:
  • a seat intended to receive the tray,
  • flaps, made of flexible material, arranged around the seat and arranged so that they at least partially cover the tray,
  • means for holding the flaps also in flexible material and comprising two parts each secured to one of the flaps, and
  • a stiffening member, made of rigid material, having a flat surface.

De plus, les moyens de positionnement comprennent deux parties solidaires l'une de l'organe de rigidification et l'autre du plateau et coopérant l'une avec l'autre pour positionner le plateau en référence à l'enveloppe.In addition, the positioning means comprise two integral parts one of the stiffening member and the other of the plate and cooperating one with the other to position the tray with reference to the envelope.

Un tel coffret ne présente aucune partie extérieure susceptible d'abímer les objets environnants. De plus, différents types de plateaux peuvent être proposés, permettant de ranger un ou plusieurs objets, dans des conditions optimales, ceux-ci ne pouvant être abímés par les matériaux constituant le coffret.Such a box does not present any external part likely to damage the surrounding objects. In addition, different types of trays can be offered, allowing to store one or more objects, in optimal conditions, these cannot be damaged by the materials constituting the box.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, l'organe de rigidification est formé d'une plaque intégrée dans l'assise. La première partie des moyens de positionnement comporte une protubérance solidaire de la plaque et la deuxième partie un trou pratiqué dans le plateau et agencé de manière à pouvoir recevoir la protubérance, pour définir ensemble la position du plateau en référence à l'enveloppe.In a first embodiment, the stiffening member is formed of a plate integrated into the seat. The first part of the positioning means has a protrusion secured to the plate and the second part a hole practiced in the tray and arranged so that it can receive the protrusion, to define together the position of the plate with reference to the envelope.

Pour que la position du plateau sur l'assise soit bien définie, la première partie des moyens de positionnement comprend deux protubérances, présentant la forme de goupilles et solidaires de la plaque, et la deuxième partie deux trous dimensionnés de manière à ce que les goupilles y soient engagées à force.So that the position of the tray on the seat is well defined, the first part positioning means comprises two protrusions, having the form of pins and integral with the plate, and the second part two holes dimensioned so that the pins are forced into it.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, l'organe de rigidification comporte deux plaques, intégrées chacune dans l'un des rabats. Les moyens de positionnement comprennent une gorge pratiquée dans deux des faces latérales du plateau et un bossage fixé à chacune des plaques. Les gorges et les bossages sont agencés de manière à ce que l'un soit engagé dans l'autre lorsque le plateau occupe la bonne position sur l'assise.In a second embodiment, the stiffening member has two plates, each integrated in one of the flaps. Positioning means include a groove made in two of the side faces of the tray and a boss fixed to each of the plates. The grooves and bosses are arranged so that one is engaged in the other when the plate occupies the good position on the seat.

De manière avantageuse, le matériau souple formant les rabats et les moyens de maintien sont en cuir. Ce matériau confère un aspect chaleureux et distingué, tout en protégeant efficacement le plateau et l'objet supporté. Il est durable, nécessitant peu de soin et de contact agréable.Advantageously, the flexible material forming the flaps and the means of support are leather. This material gives a warm and distinguished appearance, while effectively protecting the tray and the object supported. It is durable, requiring little care and pleasant contact.

Un tel coffret présente un aspect particulièrement attrayant lorsqu'il est traité par les techniques propres à la sellerie, la réalisation de l'enveloppe en plusieurs pièces permettant de réduire le coût de fabrication. C'est pourquoi il est avantageux que l'assise et les rabats soient formés chacun d'une pièce de peausserie, celle formant l'assise étant de forme rectangulaire et celles formant les rabats étant chacune attachée à l'un des côtés de l'assise.Such a cabinet has a particularly attractive appearance when treated by the techniques specific to the saddlery, the realization of the envelope in several parts to reduce the manufacturing cost. That's why it is advantageous that the seat and the flaps are each formed of a piece of leather, that forming the seat being rectangular and those forming the flaps being each attached to one of the sides of the seat.

Il est, bien sûr possible, de réaliser un plateau selon des formes et des matériaux très variés. Dans une solution particulièrement efficace et économique, le plateau comporte une coque en matériau rigide, de forme générale parallélépipédique, avec une face supérieure et une face inférieure. Cette coque est munie du trou de positionnement dans sa face inférieure et d'au moins une alvéole dans sa face supérieure. Une gaine entoure la coque, et tapisse l'alvéole pour former ainsi une paroi protectrice du logement. It is, of course possible, to make a tray according to shapes and materials very varied. In a particularly efficient and economical solution, the tray has a shell of rigid material, of general shape parallelepiped, with an upper face and a lower face. This shell has the positioning hole in its underside and at least one alveolus in its upper face. A sheath surrounds the hull, and lines the cell to thereby form a protective wall of the housing.

Si un coffre de rangement comporte plusieurs coffrets renfermant chacun un ou des objets différents, il peut être difficile de trouver rapidement le bon. Afin de faciliter la recherche, au moins l'un des rabats est muni d'une découpe définissant une fenêtre. Le plateau peut alors être identifié par un signe distinctif, visible au travers de la fenêtre. Il est également possible que le rabat ne recouvre que partiellement le logement, de telle sorte que l'objet est en partie visible.If a storage box has several boxes each containing one or different items, it can be difficult to quickly find the right one. In order to to facilitate research, at least one of the flaps is provided with a cutout defining a window. The tray can then be identified by a sign distinctive, visible through the window. It is also possible that the flap only partially covers the housing, so that the object is partly visible.

Lorsque les objets à conserver sont délicats, il peut être nécessaire de les protéger de manière particulièrement efficace. A cet effet, l'interposition d'un coussin disposé entre le plateau et les rabats garantit un bon positionnement de l'objet et évite son écrasement. Ce coussin comporte avantageusement une poche destinée à recevoir des objets minces, par exemple des papiers tels que billets de banque, bulletin de garantie, etc.When the objects to be preserved are delicate, it may be necessary to protect particularly effectively. To this end, the interposition of a cushion placed between the tray and the flaps guarantees good positioning of the object and prevents it from being crushed. This cushion advantageously includes a pocket for receiving thin objects, for example paper such as banknotes, guarantee bulletin, etc.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en regard du dessin annexé, dans lequel:

  • Les figures 1 et 2 montrent, en perspective, un coffret selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, respectivement en position fermée et ouverte;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale du coffret des figures 1 et 2, et
  • La figure 4 illustre, vu en coupe, un coffret selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • Figures 1 and 2 show, in perspective, a box according to a first embodiment of the invention, respectively in the closed and open position;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the box of FIGS. 1 and 2, and
  • FIG. 4 illustrates, seen in section, a box according to a second embodiment of the invention.

Les coffrets représentés au dessin comportent une enveloppe 10, un plateau 12 et un coussin 14 recouvrant le plateau 12, tous les deux logés à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 10 et bien visibles sur les figures 2 et 3.The boxes shown in the drawing have an envelope 10, a tray 12 and a cushion 14 covering the plate 12, both housed inside the envelope 10 and clearly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3.

L'enveloppe 10 est formée de cinq pièces assemblées, soit d'une assise rectangulaire 16 et de quatre rabats 18 à 21, chacun cousu sur l'un des côtés de l'assise 16. Ces pièces comportent deux peausseries superposées, cousues ensembles et dont le côté fleur est tourné vers l'extérieur. La couture des peausseries et des rabats 18 à 21 sur l'assise 16 se fait par les techniques en usage dans le domaine de la sellerie, ce qui lui confère un aspect très attractif.The envelope 10 is formed of five assembled parts, that is to say of a seat rectangular 16 and four flaps 18 to 21, each sewn on one side of the seat 16. These pieces have two overlapping skins, sewn together and whose flower side faces outward. Sewing skins and flaps 18 to 21 on the seat 16 is done by techniques used in the area of saddlery, which gives it a very attractive appearance.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, une plaque de base 22, en matériau rigide, par exemple en bois, en métal ou en plastique dur (figures 2 et 3) est interposée entre les peausseries de l'assise 16. Elle porte deux goupilles 24 protubérantes, s'étendant perpendiculairement à sa surface et traversant des trous non référencés que comporte la peausserie supérieure de l'assise 16.In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, a base plate 22, in rigid material, for example wood, metal or hard plastic (Figures 2 and 3) is interposed between the skins of the seat 16. It carries two pins 24 protruding, extending perpendicular to its surface and crossing unreferenced holes in the upper skin of the seat 16.

Les rabats 18 et 20, disposés de part et d'autre de l'assise 16, comportent l'un 18 une ouverture 26 et l'autre 20 une langue 28 et une boucle 30, dont la fonction sera précisée plus loin.The flaps 18 and 20, arranged on either side of the seat 16, have one 18 an opening 26 and the other 20 a tongue 28 and a loop 30, the function will be specified later.

Le plateau 12 comprend une coque rigide 34 de forme générale parallélépipédique (figure 3). Sa face inférieure est munie de deux trous 36 disposés de manière à servir de logement aux goupilles 24 et formant respectivement une première et une deuxième partie des moyens de positionnement du plateau 12 sur l'enveloppe 10. Sa face supérieure est percée d'alvéoles 36 à 39.The plate 12 comprises a rigid shell 34 of general shape parallelepiped (Figure 3). Its underside is provided with two holes 36 arranged to serve as housing for the pins 24 and forming respectively a first and a second part of the means of positioning of the plate 12 on the envelope 10. Its upper face is pierced cells 36 to 39.

Le plateau 12 comprend, en outre, une couche de capitonnage 40, en matériau amortisseur, par exemple une ouate, disposée contre les bords des alvéoles 38 et 39, une gaine 42 recouvrant le capitonnage 40 et masquant la coque 34, et un couvercle 44 fermant l'alvéole 37. La gaine 42 peut aussi bien être faite en cuir qu'en tissu. Ces différentes alvéoles peuvent servir de réceptacle à des objets tels qu'une bague, un collier, une montre, etc. Les alvéoles 36 à 39 peuvent être adaptées, par leurs formes, leur dimension et leur garnissage, à l'objet devant y être logé. The plate 12 further comprises a padding layer 40, made of material shock absorber, for example a wadding, placed against the edges of the cells 38 and 39, a sheath 42 covering the upholstery 40 and masking the shell 34, and a cover 44 closing the cell 37. The sheath 42 can also be made of leather than in fabric. These different cells can serve as receptacles for objects such as a ring, necklace, watch, etc. The cells 36 to 39 can be adapted, by their forms, their size and their filling, to the object in front be accommodated.

Le coussin 14 présente une longueur et une largeur sensiblement égales à celles du plateau 12, étant ainsi dimensionné de manière à le recouvrir. Il comporte une fourre 46 et un rembourrage 48 lui conférant sa forme (figure 3). Il est muni d'une poche 50 dans laquelle il est possible de glisser des papiers-valeurs ou un bulletin de garantie.The cushion 14 has a length and a width substantially equal to those of the plate 12, being thus dimensioned so as to cover it. It comprises a tote 46 and a padding 48 giving it its shape (Figure 3). He is provided a pocket 50 into which it is possible to slip securities or a warranty card.

Pour assurer le rangement d'un objet dans le coffret selon l'invention, il suffit de placer cet objet dans l'une ou l'autre des alvéoles d'un plateau 12, puis de disposer ce dernier sur une enveloppe 10, les goupilles 24 étant engagées dans les trous 36. De la sorte, le plateau 12 est parfaitement positionné. Le diamètre des trous 36 et/ou leur position est choisi de manière à ce que les goupilles 24 soient engagées à friction, assurant le maintien en place du plateau sur l'enveloppe.To ensure the storage of an object in the box according to the invention, it suffices to place this object in one or other of the cells of a tray 12, then place the latter on an envelope 10, the pins 24 being engaged in the holes 36. In this way, the plate 12 is perfectly positioned. The diameter holes 36 and / or their position is chosen so that the pins 24 are frictionally engaged, ensuring that the plate is held in place on the envelope.

Le coussin 14 est ensuite posé sur le plateau 12. Les rabats 19 et 21, 20, puis 18 sont ramenés par-dessus le plateau 12. La boucle 30 est engagée dans l'ouverture 26. Il reste à fermer le coffret en glissant la langue 28 dans la boucle 30.The cushion 14 is then placed on the plate 12. The flaps 19 and 21, 20, then 18 are brought over the plate 12. The loop 30 is engaged in the opening 26. It remains to close the box by sliding the tongue 28 in the loop 30.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur la figure 1, l'un ou l'autre des rabats peut être muni d'une découpe 52, au travers de laquelle un symbole, par exemple une marque 54, est visible. Il est de la sorte possible d'identifier le plateau 12 contenu dans l'enveloppe 10, et par là, son contenu.As can be seen in Figure 1, either of the flaps can be provided a cutout 52, through which a symbol, for example a mark 54, is visible. It is thus possible to identify the plate 12 contained in envelope 10, and thereby its content.

Comme le montre la figure 4, d'autres moyens de positionnement du plateau sur son assise sont envisageables. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'organe de rigidification est formé de deux plaques rigides 56 et 58, respectivement emprisonnées dans les peausseries des rabats 18 et 20 et disposées de manière à ce qu'elles se trouvent en regard des flancs du plateau 12. Les moyens de positionnement comportent une première partie, formée de bossages 60, par exemple des lattes de bois, fixées sur les plaques 56 et 58, et une deuxième partie, formée de gorges 62, pratiquées sur les flancs du plateau 12 adjacents aux rabats 18 et 20, et disposées de manière à ce que les bossages 60 s'y engagent. De la sorte, le plateau 12 est positionné en repliant les rabats 18 et 20.As shown in Figure 4, other means of positioning the tray on its seat are possible. In this embodiment, the stiffening is formed by two rigid plates 56 and 58, respectively trapped in the skins of flaps 18 and 20 and arranged so as to what they are opposite the sides of the plate 12. The means of positioning have a first part, formed by bosses 60, by example wooden slats, fixed on plates 56 and 58, and a second part, formed of grooves 62, formed on the flanks of the adjacent plate 12 to the flaps 18 and 20, and arranged so that the bosses 60 there commit. In this way, the plate 12 is positioned by folding the flaps 18 and 20.

Dans une variante qui n'a pas été représentée, les rabats peuvent être ajourés de manière à ce que la surface supérieure soit partiellement visible, permettant de voir une partie des objets contenus dans les logements, ce qui facilite leur identification lorsque plusieurs coffrets sont rangés au même endroit.In a variant which has not been shown, the flaps can be perforated with so that the upper surface is partially visible, allowing see some of the objects contained in the dwellings, which facilitates their identification when several boxes are stored in the same place.

Il est évident que le coffret tel que décrit et revendiqué permet de nombreuses variantes. Il est, bien sûr, possible de superposer deux plateaux dans une même enveloppe. Il est également possible de munir le plateau d'un tiroir. Le choix des matériaux offre également de nombreuses possibilités, certains tissus pouvant avantageusement remplacer les cuirs.It is obvious that the box as described and claimed allows many variants. It is, of course, possible to superimpose two trays in the same envelope. It is also possible to provide the tray with a drawer. The choice materials also offers many possibilities, certain fabrics can advantageously replace leathers.

Ainsi, grâce au fait que l'enveloppe est constituée d'un matériau souple, dans sa partie en contact avec l'extérieur, il est possible de placer le coffret décrit dans pratiquement n'importe quel environnement sans risque pour les objets qui pourraient entrer en contact avec lui.Thus, thanks to the fact that the envelope is made of a flexible material, in its part in contact with the outside, it is possible to place the box described in virtually any environment that is safe for objects that could get in touch with him.
