Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for storing and transporting elongate parts, with ends folded on the same side.
  • the invention finds a particular application, but not limited to, in the field of storage and transport of spare parts of the automotive industry, for example vehicle bumpers.
  • bumpers are most often manufactured and painted at a subcontractor, and then transported in trucks, to the factory assembly and manufacturing of motor vehicles.
  • Such devices or containers adapted to the storage and transport of bumpers have already been proposed in the state of the art.
  • they comprise a metal base, elongated rectangular general shape, which can be moved by means of a forklift, and later on the platform of a truck.
  • This base is provided with supports in the form of metal hoops on which are mounted pieces of wedging painted bumpers.
  • the base is also equipped with a central grating, longitudinal, that the operator borrows to implement one by one the bumpers on the hoops.
  • the number of bumpers that can be stored in such a container is necessarily limited, because of the bulk of the metal hoops and the space that it is necessary to leave free for the passage of the operator.
  • the average number of bumpers disposed within such a container is of the order of six to ten.
  • This device has the disadvantage of requiring the operator to introduce glazing from the top between neighboring wedging tubes which are fixed, rigid and vertical, which increases the risk of shocks or scratches on the glazing when they are placed. in place or their withdrawal.
  • the operator must precisely position the glazing in the small space between two adjacent tubes, which slows the rate of filling of the transport bridge.
  • the present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned above.
  • the invention also aims to allow the transport, the establishment and removal of these parts inside the storage device, without damaging them, that is to say, especially without striking or scratching.
  • the invention relates to a device for the storage and transport of elongated parts whose ends are bent on the same side, such as bumpers of motor vehicles.
  • the device according to the invention is intended to allow the transport and storage of elongated parts whose ends are curved on the same side.
  • An exemplary embodiment of such a part is a motor vehicle bumper, such as that shown in FIG. 2.
  • a bumper 1 consisting of a body 10 of elongate shape, the two left ends 11 and 11 'are curved on the same side.
  • the body 10 extends along a longitudinal axis X1-X'1.
  • the bumper 1 has an upper edge 14, a lower edge 15, and two opposite lateral flanks, outer 12 and inner 13.
  • the inner side 13 corresponds to the concave side of the bumper 1, intended to be mounted on the vehicle frame, and the outer side 12, to the convex side of the bumper, visible from the outside.
  • the outer sidewall 12, painted, is particularly fragile and must absolutely not be scratched or damaged during transport of the bumper.
  • the bumper 1 is shown in Figure 2 in the position that it occupies substantially when it is transported inside the device according to the invention.
  • It comprises a frame 2, means 3 for supporting parts 1 and means 4 for wedging these parts.
  • the frame 2 which is preferably metallic, comprises a base 20, and two left vertical 21 and right 21 'side walls, joined at one of their ends by a vertical wall 22 which constitutes the bottom of the frame 2.
  • the device is schematically and simplified, so that the elements that compose it are not on their true scale.
  • the length and width of the base 20 substantially correspond to the dimensions of the trailer of a truck, on which this type of device is intended to be loaded.
  • the walls 21, 21 'and 22 could be replaced by an assembly of hollow metal profiles, such as uprights and longitudinal members, welded together so as to materialize this frame.
  • the base 20 comprises, in its middle part, a longitudinal grating 203, on which the operator can move, to reach the bottom of the frame 2.
  • This grating 203 is supported laterally on two longitudinal members 201 and 201 'right.
  • the profiles 201, 201 ' are hollow and open on the open front side of the frame, respectively by openings referenced 202 and 202'.
  • the spacing between these openings 202 and 202 ' is provided to allow to insert the forks of a forklift.
  • the frame 2 has a plan of symmetry, vertical, longitudinal, median, referenced P1.
  • the space above the grating 203 is free and defines an aisle 200 for the passage of the operator.
  • the frame 2 supports at least one floor of a storage structure of the elongate parts.
  • a storage structure of the elongate parts In Figure 1, two stages of storage structure are shown, they respectively bear the references E1 and E2.
  • Each storage structure comprises means 3 for supporting the parts 1, which are arranged to allow the passage of an operator in the aisle 200. These means are to the left and right of the vertical plane P1 and they support respectively the left 11 and right 11 'ends of each elongated piece 1 or neighboring areas of these ends.
  • these neighboring zones of the ends 11 and 11 respectively bear the reference numerals 110 and 110'.
  • These zones 110 and 110 ' substantially correspond to the zone of intersection between the body 10 and the curved ends 11 and 11'.
  • these support means 3 consist of tubes, preferably rectilinear, which extend longitudinally and horizontally, inside the frame 2, preferably parallel to the plane of symmetry P1.
  • At least the support means 3 comprise a tube on the left and a right.
  • the left-hand tubes are two in number and have the reference numerals 31 and 32 and the right-hand ones are the references 31 'and 32'.
  • These four tubes are arranged at the same height, so as to allow the maintenance of the elongate parts 1 in the same horizontal plane P2 .
  • the right tube (s) are spaced apart from the left tube (s) by a distance less than the length of the elongated pieces 1 to be supported, but sufficient to allow the operator to pass through the tube. aisle 200, when handling said parts 1.
  • the support tubes 31, 32 ', 31', 32 ' are fixed to the frame 2 by any suitable fastening means, such as fixing lugs or welding points.
  • the support tubes are generally made of metal. To avoid any risk of damage to the transported parts, they are advantageously covered with a sleeve of shock-absorbing material, for example, an expanded cellular material, such as a polyethylene foam.
  • a sleeve of shock-absorbing material for example, an expanded cellular material, such as a polyethylene foam.
  • foam sleeves are advantageously covered with a coating or sheath of non-woven material.
  • each floor of a storage structure E1 or E2 also comprises two left and right 40 'and 40' right lateral rows of wedging elements 4 and 4 ', respectively, of the ends of said elongated parts 1.
  • wedging designates immobilizing an elongated piece, during its storage or transport, even when the frame 2 is moved, in order to prevent it from being displaced. is damaged.
  • Each wedging element 4 is both deformable and retractable.
  • deformable nature allows it to conform substantially to the shape of the space between the left and right ends 11 'of two elongate pieces 1, arranged parallel to one another on the support means 3.
  • the deformable nature is obtained by the nature of the materials constituting it.
  • each wedging element 4 is suspended from means 5, called “suspension means”, which allows it to pivot around its attachment point and therefore to be retractable.
  • FIG. 5 An alternative embodiment of the wedging element 4 is illustrated in more detail in FIG. 5.
  • the wedging element 4 is in the form of a preferably cylindrical bead, suspended vertically.
  • tubular sleeve 41 expanded cellular material, for example polyethylene foam, which gives this element its deformable character.
  • This sleeve 41 is pierced with a longitudinal central orifice 410, which allows the passage of a cable 42 for suspending the coil 4 to the means 5.
  • This cable is flexible and elastic. It is tied at both ends to form an upper node 421 and a lower node 422.
  • the lower node 422 is sufficiently large to hold the sleeve 41.
  • a sock 43 closed at its lower end, to cover the node 422.
  • this sock 43 is held for example by a clamping elastic 430.
  • the sock 43 serves to protect the painted surfaces of the elements 1. It is advantageously made of a nonwoven material or the like.
  • a resistant coating 44 such as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cloth or the like, which has the function of prevent the deterioration of the sock 43, when the flange 4 slides along the upper edge 14 of the bumper 1, as will be described later.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the wedging element 4 is advantageously suspended from suspension means 5, which in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, are in the form of a left tube 51 and a straight tube 51 '.
  • the tubes 51 and 51 ' extend longitudinally, horizontally and parallel to the median vertical plane P1.
  • the height of the cylindrical wedging element 4 is generally very slightly greater than the distance separating a suspension tube 51, 51 'respectively, from the support tube 31, respectively 31 'located below. At rest, the wedging elements 4 thus rest on either side of the support tube.
  • the metal suspension tube 51 is illustrated in FIG.
  • the suspension tube 51 is advantageously covered with a sleeve 52 of shock-absorbing material, such as an expanded cellular material, of the polyethylene foam type.
  • the sleeve 52 is covered with a sheath 53 of protection against scratches, for example of nonwoven material.
  • the tube 51 is pierced on its underside with several orifices 510 in the form of a buttonhole.
  • the orifice 510 appears in a view from above in FIG. 6. It comprises an oblong slot 512, one end of which ends in a circular hole 511 whose diameter is greater than the width of the light 512.
  • the device is modular.
  • Holes 520 and 530 are formed in the sleeve 52 and the sheath 53, facing the holes 511.
  • the operator selects the appropriate orifice 510, penetrates the upper node 421 inside the holes 530, 520 and 511, then shifts the wedging element 4 to the right of the figure 5, which has the effect of bringing the node 421 to the level of the light 512 and also to slide slightly, (to the right in FIG. 5) the sleeve 52.
  • the wedging element 4 is thus fixed and suspended from the tube 51. However, this attachment is removable.
  • the suspension bar 51 of a given lower stage here the stage E1 constitutes the E2 floor support bar located immediately above. This simplifies the structure.
  • the upper stage E2 may comprise two additional support bars 8 and 8 'which extend parallel to and parallel to the suspension bars 51 and 51', respectively.
  • the operator enters the aisle 200 of the frame 2 by carrying a part 1, and moving towards the bottom 22.
  • the wedging elements 4 rub by their rear face (left in Figure 5), covered only with the nonwoven material 43, so as to avoid any risk of scratching on the fragile side 12 of the room 1.
  • the second wedging element 4, 4 'of each row is then positioned against the inner side 13 of the bumper.
  • the operator proceeds likewise with the second bumper, which has the effect of jamming the second wedging elements 4, 4 'between the first and the second bumper.
  • the wedging elements 4 or 4 'deform to adopt a curved shape which corresponds substantially to that of the space between the curved ends of two successive bumpers.
  • each row 40, 40' can be held by means of a locking piece 6, such as the one shown in Figure 7.
  • This locking piece 6 comprises a curved portion 60 whose inner diameter substantially corresponds to that of the wedging element 4 and an end 61 which defines with the support tube 31, to which it is attached, a bottleneck 62.
  • the wedging elements 4 or 4 ' are folded in horizontal position, parallel to the suspension tube 51, 51', which is possible thanks to the flexible cable 42.
  • the wedging element then rubs by its face protected by the coating 44 (right in Figure 5) against the upper edge 14 of the part 1.
  • the fabric 44 thus protects the wedging element 4 against any risk of tearing.
  • the device according to the invention can store a large number of parts in a small space, since they are stored on their edge and very close to each other, but being however protected against damage during transport.
  • the device is flexible, since the wedging elements 4, 4 'can be fixed at different spacings according to the thickness of the parts 1, so that it is possible to store different parts at different stages or possibly to follow on the same floor.
  • wedging elements 4, 4 'could for example have shapes other than cylindrical. They could also be made integral with the frame other than by suspension, for example by fixing on the side or at their base, as long as they retain their retractable character.
