Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container, of the type comprising a body made of synthetic material, this body comprising, on at least one side, a pair of juxtaposed orifices, each orifice giving access to a receiving housing of an arm of fork of handling equipment.
- the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a container made of synthetic material able to withstand shocks and repeated contacts between forklift trucks and the body of the container.
- the invention relates to a container of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the body comprises a bottom and four sides, each side having a pair of orifices and being equipped with a metal shield integral with the body and covering the side near the orifices.
- the parts of the sides of the container body located in the vicinity of the forks receiving the forks are protected from shocks, since the metal shield is a mechanical protection against these shocks.
- a metal shield reinforces the structure of the container and, with a suitable configuration, guide the forks of the trucks to the inside of the orifices.
- the container 1 comprises a body 3 of synthetic material, for example high density polyethylene.
- the body 3 comprises a bottom 311 of rectangular section and four sides substantially perpendicular to the bottom 311, namely two longitudinal sides 313 rising from the lengths of the bottom 311 and two transverse sides 315 rising from the widths of the bottom 311
- the bottom 311 has on its upper face 311A unrepresented reliefs, additional parts to be housed and transported in the container 1.
- the container 1 may, for example, be intended for the transport of spare parts of motor vehicles. The reliefs are then designed to accommodate as precisely as possible these spare parts.
- the body 3 is made by rotational molding of high density polyethylene, the reliefs being directly made by rotational molding on the bottom 311 of the body 3.
- the bottom 311 of the body 3 further comprises drainage holes for water or runoff liquid also not shown.
- the body 3 comprises four uprights 314 which rise from each of its corners.
- the portion 314A of the body 3, located below each upright 314, is shaped to have a shape complementary to the outer shape of each upright 314. In this way, several containers 1 are able to be stacked, when are empty, by mutual interlocking of their uprights 314, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
- the body 3 comprises, on each of the four sides 313 and 315, a pair of orifices 318 juxtaposed, each orifice 318 giving access to a housing 319 formed in the body 3 and adapted to receive an arm of a fork of handling trolley.
- Each side 313 or 315 is equipped with a shield 5 consisting of a steel plate.
- Each shield 5 has a main portion 51 which extends against the side 313 or 315 concerned around the orifices 318, so as to protect the outer surface 313E or 315E of the body 3 located in the vicinity of the upper and lateral areas of the orifices 318.
- Each shield 5 also comprises, for each orifice 318, three folding wings which are able to engage from the surfaces 313E or 315E inwards of the housing 319 adjacent and, thus, to protect the entrance to the orifice 318. More specifically, two lateral wings 53 and 53 ', visible at Figures 2 to 4 are capable of covering the lateral faces 319A of each housing 319. These wings 53 and 53 'are of substantially rectangular shape, with a width slightly smaller than the height of each orifice 318 and a length substantially equivalent to half the length of each orifice 318.
- each housing 319 is partially covered by a third wing 54 of substantially rectangular shape, with a length substantially equivalent to the length of each orifice 318 and a width of the order of a few centimeters.
- the shield profile represented in Figures 2 to 4 corresponds to a shield installed on a longitudinal side 313 of the body 3.
- the shields 5 installed on the transverse sides 315 have a similar profile, but their shape is adapted to facilitate their implantation on the sides 315.
- the four shields 5 are fixed on each side 313 or 315 of the body 3 by riveting by means of stampings 55.
- the attachment of each shield 5 can be made by screwing.
- the flat configuration of the shield 5 shown in FIG. figure 4 is obtained from a substantially flat steel blank, in which are formed fold lines 531, 531 'and 541 able to be superimposed on the side edges 318A and upper 318B of the orifices 318.
- the outline of the wings 53, 53' and 54, as well as the general contour of the shield 5, are cut in the steel blank.
- the blank thus prepared is then applied to each side 313 or 315 of the body 3 so as to superpose the folding lines 531, 531 'and 541 on the edges 318A and 318B of the orifices 318.
- the wings 53, 53 'and 54 are folded and fixed against, respectively, the side faces 319A and 319B upper housing 319.
- each shield 5 may be made of another metallic material having good impact resistance.
- the presence of the four shields 5 on the container 1 according to the invention makes it possible to preserve the zones of the body 3 located in the vicinity of the orifices 318 against any damage due to shocks or repeated contacts with forks of handling equipment, while strengthening the structure of rotomolded body 3.
- the presence of the wings 53, 53 'and 54, folded from the outer surface 313E or 315E of the body 3 towards the inside of the housings 319 ensures a function of guiding the forks of the handling equipment towards the inside of these housing.
- the container 1 represented at figure 1 also comprises two stacking tees 7, each tee 7 consisting of a central bar 71 and two wings 73, arranged generally in a shape of "T". Each wing 73 is provided at its distal end 731 with an anchoring loop 75 on an upright 314 of the body 3.
- the wings 73 of each tee 7 form a receiving zone 733 of another container, substantially perpendicular to the bar central 71 and separated from each of the distal ends 731 by an inclined pan 735, the corresponding distal end 731 to the receiving zone 733, towards the central bar 71.
- Each of the tees 7 is articulated on a transverse side 315 of the body 3.
- Each tee 7 is movable between a low position in which the central bar 71 is substantially parallel to the bottom 311, and a high position in which the central bar 71 is substantially perpendicular at bottom 311, while the wings 73 extend parallel to the transverse side 315 on which the tee 7 is hinged and rest on the uprights 314 flanking this side 315.
- the tees 7 When the container 1 is empty, the tees 7 are in the low position. As soon as the two tees 7 are in the low position, a container homologous to the container 1 can be stacked on it by mutually interlocking the uprights 314 of the two containers, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
- each of the stacking tees 7 Prior to the loading on the face 311A of the body 3 of parts intended to be transported in the container 1, each of the stacking tees 7 is moved from its lower position to its upper position, by a tilting around an axis directed parallel to the sides transverse 315 of the body 3.
- Each tee 7 has an oblong slot 711 formed in the central bar 71, parallel to the axis of this central bar.
- a rod 316 integral with the body 3 is able to slide in the oblong slot 711.
- the sliding of the rod 316 in the oblong slot 711 makes it possible to raise each tee 7, in the vicinity of its upper position, with respect to the amounts 314, as shown in figure 5 .
- the distal ends 731 can thus be made to cap the upper portion 314B of the uprights 314, without risk of blocking the ends 731 by the uprights 314 during the tilting of the tees 7 from their lower position to their upper position.
- an oblong slot 711 may be formed in the body 3 while the corresponding rod 316 is integral with the central bar 71 of each tee 7.
- the uprights 314 are equipped, at their upper part 314B, with relief shapes 314C intended to receive the anchoring loops 75.
- the two reception zones 733 are able to receive together the bottom of a container, homologous or not with the container 1, stacked on the container 1, as shown in FIG. figure 9 .
- the presence of inclined faces 735, which surround each receiving zone 733, makes it possible to guide and maintain the positioning of the stacked container on the container 1.
- the anchoring of the loops 75 on the uprights 314 and the support of the panels inclined 735 against the lateral faces 314D of the uprights 314 make it possible to maintain the spacing of the uprights 314 when stacking the containers in the high position of the tees 7.
- Each tee 7 also comprises a load transfer bracket 713 fixed on the central bar 71 and adapted to bear on a support 312 formed at the transverse side 315 on which is articulated the tee 7.
- a load transfer bracket 713 fixed on the central bar 71 and adapted to bear on a support 312 formed at the transverse side 315 on which is articulated the tee 7.
- the container 1 comprises two flanges 9 for retaining pieces housed in the body 3.
- Each flange 9 comprises a main bar 91, extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal sides 313 of the body 3 and two tabs 93 bent, oriented in the same direction, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bar 91.
- Each tab 93 of a flange 9 is articulated on a transverse side 315 of the body 3 by means of a pin 95 formed on the tab 93 and adapted to be inserted into a well overmolded in the body 3.
- Each leg 93 is furthermore fixed to a tension spring 97 disposed between the lug 93 and the transverse side 315 on which it is hinged.
- the two springs 97 associated with each flange 9 thus exert on it an elastic return force towards the bottom 311 of the body 3.
- the tension springs 97 may be replaced by gas cylinders or flat springs.
- Each retaining flange 9 is movable between a low position in which the tabs 93 are substantially parallel to the bottom 311 and a high position in which the tabs 93 are substantially inclined, or even perpendicular to the bottom 311.
- each flange 9 is arranged in its lower position, to allow a container homologous to the container 1 to be stacked on the container 1 by interlocking the uprights 314 of these containers, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
- each flange 9 Before parts intended to be transported in the container 1, are placed on the face 311A of the body 3, the flanges 9 are moved from their low position to their high position retaining these parts. They are then released and, under the action of the springs 97, they are pressed by their respective main bars 91 on the upper parts of the parts to be transported. In this position, each flange 9 holds in place the parts housed in the body 3, thanks to the action of the springs 97 directed towards the bottom 311. Moreover, during the transport of the parts in the container 1, each spring 97 is able to unfold more or less in order to adapt the force exerted on the flange 9 corresponding to shocks or vibrations occurring during transport. Thus, the pressure exerted by the flanges 9 on the transported parts is substantially constant during transport.
- a container 1 according to the invention is therefore able, thanks to the presence of the shields 5, to withstand damage due to the action of forks of handling equipment on the body 3 of the container.
- Such a container 1 has, moreover, several additional advantageous characteristics.
- the container 1 is stacked empty, in the low position of the tees and retaining flanges, by interlocking its amounts 314 with the amounts of a homologous container.
- the container 1 is also stackable to the full, when the tees 7 and the flanges 9 are in the up position. Finally, the presence of the retaining flanges 9 ensures the maintenance of parts to be transported in the container 1.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a trait à un conteneur, du type comprenant un corps en matériau synthétique, ce corps comportant, sur au moins un côté, une paire d'orifices juxtaposés, chaque orifice donnant accès à un logement de réception d'un bras d'une fourche d'appareil de manutention.The present invention relates to a container, of the type comprising a body made of synthetic material, this body comprising, on at least one side, a pair of juxtaposed orifices, each orifice giving access to a receiving housing of an arm of fork of handling equipment.
Il est connu d'utiliser des conteneurs en matériau synthétique pour transporter des produits variés et de déplacer de tels conteneurs à l'aide de chariots de manutention à fourche. Les bras de fourches des chariots de manutention s'engagent dans des orifices ménagés dans le corps des conteneurs pour les soulever ou encore les pousser d'un site de stockage à un autre. Au cours de ces opérations, les fourches des chariots, qui le plus souvent sont métalliques, tendent à endommager le matériau synthétique constituant le pourtour et l'intérieur des orifices de réception des fourches. Du fait de ces endommagements, la durée de vie des conteneurs est relativement faible.It is known to use containers made of synthetic material to transport various products and to move such containers using forklift trucks. The forklifts of the industrial trucks engage in openings in the body of the containers to lift or push them from one storage site to another. During these operations, the forks of the trolleys, which are usually metal, tend to damage the synthetic material constituting the periphery and the interior of the forks receiving the forks. Because of these damages, the life of the containers is relatively low.
Des systèmes de protection sont connus, voir par exemple
C'est à cet inconvénient qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un conteneur en matériau synthétique apte à résister à des chocs et des contacts répétés entre des fourches de chariots de manutention et le corps du conteneur.It is this disadvantage that the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a container made of synthetic material able to withstand shocks and repeated contacts between forklift trucks and the body of the container.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un conteneur du type précité, caractérisé en ce que le corps comprend un fond et quatre côtés, chacun des côtés comportant une paire d'orifices et étant équipé d'un bouclier métallique solidaire du corps et recouvrant le côté au voisinage des orifices.To this end, the invention relates to a container of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the body comprises a bottom and four sides, each side having a pair of orifices and being equipped with a metal shield integral with the body and covering the side near the orifices.
Grâce à l'invention, les parties des côtés du corps du conteneur situées au voisinage des orifices de réception des fourches sont préservées des chocs, puisque le bouclier métallique constitue une protection mécanique contre ces chocs. De plus, un tel bouclier métallique permet de renforcer la structure du conteneur et, moyennant une configuration adaptée, de guider les fourches des chariots de manutention vers l'intérieur des orifices.Thanks to the invention, the parts of the sides of the container body located in the vicinity of the forks receiving the forks are protected from shocks, since the metal shield is a mechanical protection against these shocks. In addition, such a metal shield reinforces the structure of the container and, with a suitable configuration, guide the forks of the trucks to the inside of the orifices.

Le conteneur 1 conforme à l'invention, représenté à la
Le corps 3 est réalisé par rotomoulage de polyéthylène haute densité, les reliefs étant directement réalisés par rotomoulage sur le fond 311 du corps 3. Le fond 311 du corps 3 comporte en outre des trous d'évacuation d'eau ou de liquide de ruissellement également non représentés.The
Le corps 3 comporte quatre montants 314 qui s'élèvent à partir de chacun de ses coins. La portion 314A du corps 3, située au-dessous de chaque montant 314, est conformée de manière à avoir une forme complémentaire de la forme extérieure de chaque montant 314. De cette façon, plusieurs conteneurs 1 sont aptes à être gerbés, lorsqu'ils sont vides, par emboîtement mutuel de leurs montants 314, comme représenté à la
D'autre part, le corps 3 comporte, sur chacun des quatre côtés 313 et 315, une paire d'orifices 318 juxtaposés, chaque orifice 318 donnant accès à un logement 319 ménagé dans le corps 3 et prévu pour recevoir un bras d'une fourche de chariot de manutention.On the other hand, the
Chaque côté 313 ou 315 est équipé d'un bouclier 5 constitué d'une plaque en acier. Chaque bouclier 5 comporte une partie principale 51 qui s'étend contre le côté 313 ou 315 concerné autour des orifices 318, de manière à protéger la surface externe 313E ou 315E du corps 3 située au voisinage des zones supérieures et latérales des orifices 318.Each
Chaque bouclier 5 comporte également, pour chaque orifice 318, trois ailes rabattables qui sont aptes à s'engager depuis les surfaces 313E ou 315E vers l'intérieur du logement 319 adjacent et, ainsi, à protéger l'entrée de l'orifice 318. Plus précisément, deux ailes latérales 53 et 53', visibles aux
Le profil de bouclier représenté aux
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les quatre boucliers 5 sont fixés sur chaque côté 313 ou 315 du corps 3 par rivetage au moyen d'emboutis 55. En variante, la fixation de chaque bouclier 5 peut être réalisée par vissage.In the embodiment described, the four

La présence des quatre boucliers 5 sur le conteneur 1 conforme à l'invention permet de préserver les zones du corps 3 situées au voisinage des orifices 318 contre tout endommagement dû à des chocs ou à des contacts répétés avec des fourches d'appareils de manutention, tout en renforçant la structure du corps 3 rotomoulé. De plus, la présence des ailes 53, 53' et 54, rabattues depuis la surface externe 313E ou 315E du corps 3 vers l'intérieur des logements 319, assure une fonction de guidage des fourches des appareils de manutention vers l'intérieur de ces logements.The presence of the four
Le conteneur 1 représenté à la
Chacun des tés 7 est articulé sur un côté transversal 315 du corps 3. Chaque té 7 est mobile entre une position basse dans laquelle la barre centrale 71 est sensiblement parallèle au fond 311, et une position haute dans laquelle la barre centrale 71 est sensiblement perpendiculaire au fond 311, alors que les ailes 73 s'étendent parallèlement au côté transversal 315 sur lequel le té 7 est articulé et s'appuient sur les montants 314 encadrant ce côté 315.Each of the
Lorsque le conteneur 1 est vide, les tés 7 sont en position basse. Dès lors que les deux tés 7 sont en position basse, un conteneur homologue au conteneur 1 peut être gerbé sur celui-ci par emboîtement mutuel des montants 314 des deux conteneurs, comme représenté à la
Préalablement au chargement sur la face 311A du corps 3 de pièces destinées à être transportées dans le conteneur 1, chacun des tés de gerbage 7 est déplacé de sa position basse vers sa position haute, par un basculement autour d'un axe dirigé parallèlement aux côtés transversaux 315 du corps 3.Prior to the loading on the
Chaque té 7 comporte une lumière oblongue 711 ménagée dans la barre centrale 71, parallèlement à l'axe de cette barre centrale. Pour chaque té 7, une tige 316 solidaire du corps 3 est apte à coulisser dans la lumière oblongue 711. Le coulissement de la tige 316 dans la lumière oblongue 711 permet de surélever chaque té 7, au voisinage de sa position haute, par rapport aux montants 314, comme représenté à la
En variante et selon un mode de réalisation non représenté sur les figures, une lumière oblongue 711 peut être ménagée dans le corps 3 alors que la tige 316 correspondante est solidaire de la barre centrale 71 de chaque té 7.Alternatively and according to an embodiment not shown in the figures, an
Les montants 314 sont équipés, au niveau de leur partie supérieure 314B, de formes en relief 314C destinées à recevoir les boucles d'ancrage 75. Lorsque les deux tés 7 du conteneur 1 sont en position haute, visible à la
Chaque té 7 comporte également une équerre de report de charge 713 fixée sur la barre centrale 71 et apte à venir en appui sur un support 312 ménagé au niveau du côté transversal 315 sur lequel est articulé le té 7. Lors du basculement de chaque té 7 entre sa position basse et sa position haute, le coulissement de la tige 316 dans la lumière oblongue 711 permet de surélever chaque équerre 713 par rapport au support 312 correspondant. Ainsi, pour chaque té 7, l'équerre 713 vient se positionner au dessus du support 312 correspondant puis, simultanément au positionnement des extrémités distales 731 sur les montants 314, l'équerre 713 vient en appui sur le support 312. La présence des équerres de report de charge 713 permet de répartir le poids d'un ou plusieurs conteneurs, gerbés dans la position de la
Par ailleurs, le conteneur 1 comporte deux brides 9 de retenue de pièces logées dans le corps 3. Chaque bride 9 comprend une barre principale 91, s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement aux côtés longitudinaux 313 du corps 3 et deux pattes 93 coudées, orientées dans le même sens, selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la barre principale 91. Chaque patte 93 d'une bride 9 est articulée sur un côté transversal 315 du corps 3 au moyen d'un pion 95 ménagé sur cette patte 93 et apte à être inséré dans un puits surmoulé dans le corps 3. Chaque patte 93 est en outre fixée à un ressort de traction 97, disposé entre la patte 93 et le côté transversal 315 sur lequel elle est articulée. Les deux ressorts 97 associés à chaque bride 9 exercent ainsi sur celle-ci un effort de rappel élastique vers le fond 311 du corps 3. En variante, les ressorts de traction 97 peuvent être remplacés par des vérins à gaz ou des ressorts plats.Furthermore, the container 1 comprises two
Chaque bride 9 de retenue est mobile entre une position basse dans laquelle les pattes 93 sont sensiblement parallèles au fond 311 et une position haute dans laquelle les pattes 93 sont sensiblement inclinées, voire perpendiculaires, au fond 311.Each retaining
Lorsque le conteneur 1 est vide, chaque bride 9 est disposée dans sa position basse, afin de permettre à un conteneur homologue au conteneur 1 d'être gerbé sur le conteneur 1 par emboîtement mutuel des montants 314 de ces conteneurs, comme représenté à la
Avant que des pièces, destinées à être transportées dans le conteneur 1, soient placées sur la face 311A du corps 3, les brides 9 sont déplacées de leur position basse vers leur position haute de retenue de ces pièces. Elles sont alors relâchées et, sous l'action des ressorts 97, elles viennent se plaquer par leurs barres principales 91 respectives sur les parties supérieures des pièces à transporter. Dans cette position, chaque bride 9 maintient en place les pièces logées dans le corps 3, grâce à l'action des ressorts 97 dirigée vers le fond 311. De plus, au cours du transport des pièces dans le conteneur 1, chaque ressort 97 est apte à se déployer plus ou moins de manière à adapter l'effort qu'il exerce sur la bride 9 correspondante en fonction des chocs ou des vibrations intervenant au cours du transport. Ainsi, la pression exercée par les brides 9 sur les pièces transportées est sensiblement constante au cours du transport.Before parts intended to be transported in the container 1, are placed on the
Un conteneur 1 selon l'invention est donc apte, grâce à la présence des boucliers 5, à résister à des endommagements dus à l'action de fourches d'appareils de manutention sur le corps 3 du conteneur. Un tel conteneur 1 a, par ailleurs, plusieurs caractéristiques avantageuses supplémentaires. Le conteneur 1 est gerbable à vide, en position basse des tés et des brides de retenue, par emboîtement mutuel de ses montants 314 avec les montants d'un conteneur homologue. Le conteneur 1 est également gerbable à plein, lorsque les tés 7 et les brides 9 sont en position haute. Enfin, la présence des brides 9 de retenue assure le maintien en place de pièces à transporter dans le conteneur 1.A container 1 according to the invention is therefore able, thanks to the presence of the
