Un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention est décrit de manière détaillée ci-dessous.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in detail below.

Selon ce.mode de réalisation, il s'agit d'une boîte 1 de rangement pour lunettes 2 de protection pour personnel navigant d'aéronef. Cette boîte 1 est généralement placée dans un cockpit d'avion. Les lunettes 2 sont par exemple des lunettes antifumée.According to this embodiment, it is a storage box 2 for goggles 2 for aircrew aircraft. This box 1 is usually placed in an airplane cockpit. The glasses 2 are for example anti-smoke glasses.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, cette boîte 1 comprend un fond de boîte 3 et.deux portes 4 et 5. Dans des variantes, la boîte 1 pourrait avoir un plus grand nombre de portes, par exemple quatre disposées symétriquement par rapport aux diagonales, etc. Les portes 4, 5, considérées de l'extérieur de la boîte 1, lorsque les portes 4, 5 sont fermées, sont sensiblement convexes. Les portes 4, 5 sont transparentes ; ce qui permet de vérifier la présence des lunettes 2 dans la boîte 1 et de contrôler l'état de la visière de ces lunettes 2.As shown in FIG. 1, this box 1 comprises a box bottom 3 and two doors 4 and 5. In variants, the box 1 could have a larger number of doors, for example four arranged symmetrically with respect to the diagonals, etc. The doors 4, 5 considered from the outside of the box 1, when the doors 4, 5 are closed, are substantially convex. The doors 4, 5 are transparent; this makes it possible to check the presence of the glasses 2 in the box 1 and to check the state of the visor of these glasses 2.

Le fond de boîte 3 a sensiblement une forme rectangulaire, avec deux parois latérales 6 et 7, une paroi supérieure 8 et une paroi inférieure 9. Ces quatre parois latérales 6, 7, supérieure 8 et inférieur 9 s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement à partir du fond de boîte 3, et délimite une face ouverte 14 sensiblement rectangulaire.The box bottom 3 has substantially a rectangular shape, with two side walls 6 and 7, a wall upper 8 and a lower wall 9. These four side walls 6, 7, upper 8 and lower 9 extend substantially perpendicularly from the box bottom 3, and defines a substantially rectangular open face 14.

Le fond boîte 3 comporte deux pieds 10. Chaque pied 10 comporte une surface 11 adjacente et sensiblement perpendiculaire à une paroi latérale 6 ou 7. Cette surface 11 est percée de deux trous 12 adaptés pour la fixation de la boîte sur un support tel qu'une cloison dans un cockpit et ceci à portée de main du personnel navigant.The bottom box 3 has two feet 10. Each foot 10 has an adjacent surface 11 and substantially perpendicular to a side wall 6 or 7. This surface 11 is pierced with two holes 12 adapted for fixing the box on a support such as a partition in a cockpit and this at the fingertips of the aircrew.

Chaque paroi latérale est munie de moyens de fermeture 13. Ces moyens de fermetures 13 sont par exemple des charnières. Chaque charnière 13 supporte une porte 4 ou 5, et permet d'ouvrir et fermer celle-ci, autour d'un axe Z sensiblement parallèle à l'un des petits côtés de la face ouverte 14. Les portes 4, 5 sont articulées sur le fond de boîte 3 entre au moins deux positions extrêmes : une position fermée dans laquelle les portes 4, 5 recouvrent au moins partiellement les lunettes 2 (voir figure 3) et une position ouverte dans laquelle les portes 4, 5 sont écartées l'une de l'autre pour permettre de sortir les lunettes 2 de la boîte 1 (voir figures 1 et 2).Each side wall is provided with closure means 13. These closure means 13 are for example hinges. Each hinge 13 supports a door 4 or 5, and allows to open and close it, about an axis Z substantially parallel to one of the short sides of the open face 14. The doors 4, 5 are articulated on the bottom box 3 between at least two extreme positions: a closed position in which the doors 4, 5 at least partially cover the glasses 2 (see Figure 3) and an open position in which the doors 4, 5 are spaced apart the other to allow the glasses 2 out of the box 1 (see Figures 1 and 2).

Les charnières 13 sont bi-stables. Elles ont une première position stable qui correspond à la position fermée des portes (figure 3). Dans cette position, les moyens de fermeture 13 sont adaptés pour maintenir, avec une force suffisante, les lunettes 2 dans la boîte 1, entre le fond de boîte 3 et les portes 4, 5, même si elles ne sont pas maintenues sur le fond de boîte 3. Les charnières 13 ont une deuxième position stable qui correspond à la position ouverte des portes 4, 5. Cette deuxième position stable est adaptée pour que les portes 4, 5 ne se referment pas intempestivement. De cette manière, l'utilisateur peut remettre les lunettes 2 dans la boîte 1, avec une seule main, lorsque les portes 4, 5 sont ouvertes.The hinges 13 are bi-stable. They have a first stable position corresponding to the closed position of the doors (Figure 3). In this position, the closing means 13 are adapted to maintain, with sufficient force, the glasses 2 in the box 1, between the bottom of the box 3 and the doors 4, 5, even if they are not held on the bottom 3. The hinges 13 have a second stable position which corresponds to the open position of the doors 4, 5. This second stable position is adapted so that the doors 4, 5 do not close unexpectedly. In this way, the user can put back the glasses 2 in the box 1, with only one hand, when the doors 4, 5 are open.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, l'écartement e des parois latérales 6 et 7 est adapté pour maintenir les lunettes 2 dans la boîte 1 même lorsque celle-ci est ouverte. Ainsi, cet écartement e est inférieur à la dimension des lunettes 2 prises dans leur largeur, c'est-à-dire, parallèlement à la direction binoculaire. Le fond de boîte 3 comporte des surfaces guidantes 15, s'étendant des surfaces 11 vers la face ouverte 14, de manière à faciliter l'entrée et le blocage, avec une force suffisante, des bords latéraux 16 des lunettes 2, dans le fond de boîte 3, lors de l'introduction des lunettes 2 dans ce dernier. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut engager d'une seule main les lunettes 2 dans le fond de boîte 3, les lunettes 2 restant en position dans ce dernier lorsque l'utilisateur les relâche.As shown in Figure 2, the spacing e of the side walls 6 and 7 is adapted to hold the glasses 2 in the box 1 even when it is open. Thus, this spacing e is smaller than the size of the glasses 2 taken in their width, that is to say, parallel to the binocular direction. The box bottom 3 has guiding surfaces 15, extending from the surfaces 11 to the open face 14, so as to facilitate entry and blocking, with sufficient force, the lateral edges 16 of the glasses 2, in the bottom of box 3, during the introduction of the glasses 2 in the latter. Thus, a user can engage with one hand the glasses 2 in the box bottom 3, the glasses 2 remaining in position in the latter when the user releases them.

Comme représenté sur la figure 3, les deux portes 4 et 5 sont symétriques par rapport au plan médian P de la boîte correspondant au plan de symétrie bilatéral des lunettes.As shown in FIG. 3, the two doors 4 and 5 are symmetrical with respect to the median plane P of the box corresponding to the plane of bilateral symmetry of the glasses.

Chaque porte 4 ou 5 comporte un bord de fermeture 17 approchant, en position fermée des portes 4 et 5, le plan médian P. Ce bord de fermeture 17 comporte, une échancrure haute 18 et une échancrure basse 19.Each door 4 or 5 has a closing edge 17 approaching, in the closed position of the doors 4 and 5, the median plane P. This closing edge 17 comprises, an upper notch 18 and a lower notch 19.

L'échancrure haute 18 d'une porte 4, avec l'échancrure haute de l'autre porte 5, permet de placer un premier doigt, en un lieu H, sur un bord des lunettes. L'échancrure basse 19 est située sensiblement en correspondance, lorsque les lunettes 2 sont dans la boîte 1, de la partie des lunettes 2 destinée à recouvrir le nez. L'échancrure basse 19 d'une porte 4, avec l'échancrure basse de l'autre porte 5 avec laquelle elle forme une découpe sensiblement triangulaire, permet de placer un second doigt, en un lieu B, sur un autre bord des lunettes 2. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut saisir les lunettes en pince, entre les lieux B et H, entre deux doigts et extraire les lunettes 2 de la boîte 3, d'une seule main. La convexité des portes 4 et 5 ne s'opposant pas à cette extraction, il n'est nécessaire d'avoir préalablement ouvert les portes 4 et 5.The upper notch 18 of a door 4, with the notch high of the other door 5, allows to place a first finger, at a location H, on an edge of the glasses. The lower notch 19 is located substantially in correspondence, when the glasses 2 are in the box 1, the part of the glasses 2 intended to cover the nose. The low notch 19 of a door 4, with the low notch of the other door 5 with which it forms a substantially triangular cut, allows to place a second finger, in a place B, on another edge of the glasses 2 Thus, a user can grab the glasses in a clip, between places B and H, between two fingers and extract the glasses 2 of the box 3, with one hand. The convexity of the doors 4 and 5 does not oppose this extraction, it is necessary to have previously opened the doors 4 and 5.

La découpe sensiblement triangulaire formée par les échancrures basses 19, lorsque les portes 4 et 5 sont fermées, est adaptée pour permettre également la préhension des lunettes 2, par la partie des lunettes 2 destinée à recouvrir le nez. Cette disposition est particulièrement adaptée aux lunettes de type MLD (Masque à Lunettes Détachables ou attachables). Comme expliqué précédemment, l'extraction des lunettes 2 de la boîte 3 peut être effectuée d'une seule main et sans avoir préalablement ouvert les portes 4, 5.The substantially triangular cut formed by the lower notches 19, when the doors 4 and 5 are closed, is adapted to also allow the gripping of the glasses 2, by the part of the glasses 2 intended to cover the nose. This arrangement is particularly suitable for glasses type MLD (Detachable Eyewear Mask or attachable). As explained above, the extraction of the glasses 2 from the box 3 can be performed with one hand and without having previously opened the doors 4, 5.

La boîte 1 selon l'invention permet de stocker plusieurs types de lunettes antifumée, tout en garantissant une disponibilité immédiate des lunettes 2 stockées. Ainsi, Les lunettes stockées dans la boîte selon l'invention peuvent être mises en place sur la tête d'un utilisateur en moins de 15 secondes comme le préconise la réglementation.The box 1 according to the invention makes it possible to store several types of anti-smoke glasses, while guaranteeing an immediate availability of the stored spectacles 2. Thus, the glasses stored in the box according to the invention can be placed on the head of a user in less than 15 seconds as recommended by the regulations.
