Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des équipements de stockage et de conditionnement, en particulier des conteneurs pour le transport ou la manipulation groupé(e), de produits, de composants ou de pièces, notamment de composants ou d'ensembles utiles pour la fabrication de machines ou de véhicules, en particulier à la chaîne.The present invention relates to the field of storage and packaging equipment, in particular containers for the transport or group handling (e), of products, components or parts, in particular components or assemblies useful for the manufacture of machines or vehicles, especially to the chain.
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif pour le verrouillage d'un montant d'un tel conteneur, ainsi qu'un conteneur dont les montants (qui soutiennent les parois latérales) sont équipés de tels dispositifs de verrouillage amovible en position relevée ou redressée.The invention relates to a device for locking an amount of such a container, and a container whose uprights (which support the side walls) are equipped with such removable locking devices in the raised or rectified position.
Le point commun des différentes déclinaisons de conteneurs évoqués ci-dessus est de pouvoir être repliés à vide, pour limiter leur encombrement.The common point of the different types of containers mentioned above is to be folded empty, to limit their size.
A cet effet, ces conteneurs possèdent des montants repliables qui peuvent être généralement pivotés entre une position redressée ou relevée, dans laquelle ils servent de supports aux parois latérales délimitant le volume intérieur utile du conteneur, et une position repliée de non-utilisation et de rangement, en particulier en vue de leur transport en retour à vide.For this purpose, these containers have collapsible amounts that can be generally rotated between a raised or raised position, in which they serve as supports for the side walls defining the useful interior volume of the container, and a folded position of non-use and storage , in particular with a view to their empty return transport.
Des conteneurs de ce type sont, à titres d'exemples, connus des documents suivants :
Ces conteneurs connus comportent en particulier, au niveau de chaque montant, un dispositif de verrouillage amovible en position redressée de ce montant rabattable ou repliable. Ils sont généralement à embase à structure plane et à pourtour carré ou rectangulaire et pourvus de quatre montants assemblés de manière pivotante par leurs extrémités inférieures respectives avec ladite embase, chacun au niveau d'un coin de cette dernière. Ces montants peuvent être déplacés en pivotement entre une position redressée dans laquelle ils sont sensiblement positionnés perpendiculairement au plan de l'embase et une position repliée ou rabattue le long d'un bord latéral de l'embase, dans laquelle ils sont inclinés en direction de l'embase ou disposés parallèlement à celle-ci, en reposant éventuellement sur ladite embase par leur extrémité libre. Le dispositif de verrouillage évoqué ci-dessus est constitué par deux moyens complémentaires coopérant par engagement mutuel pour bloquer ou verrouiller automatiquement le montant auquel il est associé, en position redressée de ce dernier, un desdits moyens étant solidaire du montant et l'autre desdits moyens étant solidaire de l'embase, ledit blocage ou verrouillage pouvant être libéré par action sur l'un au moins desdits deux moyens.These known containers include in particular, at each amount, a removable locking device in the upright position of the collapsible or collapsible amount. They are generally flanged with a flat structure and with a square or rectangular periphery and provided with four uprights pivotally assembled by their respective lower ends with said base, each at a corner thereof. These posts can be pivotally displaced between a rectified position in which they are substantially positioned perpendicularly to the plane of the base and a folded or folded position along a lateral edge of the base, in which they are inclined in the direction of the base or arranged parallel thereto, possibly resting on said base by their free end. The locking device mentioned above consists of two means complementary cooperating by mutual commitment to block or automatically lock the amount with which it is associated, in the rectified position thereof, one of said means being integral with the amount and the other of said means being secured to the base, said locking or locking can be released by action on at least one of said two means.
Dans certaines applications, ces dispositifs de verrouillage connus montrent leurs limites, ce du fait de la fourniture d'une unique possibilité d'interconnexion ou d'engagement mutuel des deux moyens complémentaires et donc d'une unique position de verrouillage.In certain applications, these known locking devices show their limits, because of the provision of a single possibility of interconnection or mutual engagement of the two complementary means and therefore of a single locking position.
Il est donc obligatoire d'amener le montant concerné exactement dans sa position de verrouillage pour que l'effet de blocage soit obtenu, ce qui peut se révéler fastidieux, en cas de répétition fréquente et/ou de déformation du montant et/ou de l'embase concerné(e)(s).It is therefore mandatory to bring the amount concerned exactly in its locking position so that the locking effect is obtained, which can be tedious, in case of frequent repetition and / or deformation of the amount and / or the concerned base (s).
De plus, tous les efforts tendant à solliciter les montants en-dehors de leur position verrouillée sont repris au niveau d'une unique interface de contact entre les deux moyens complémentaires. Par conséquent, cette interface doit être dimensionnée en adéquation avec cette reprise d'effort, ce qui entraîne des amplitudes de manoeuvre importantes au verrouillage et au déverrouillage.In addition, all efforts tending to solicit amounts outside their locked position are taken up at a single contact interface between the two complementary means. Therefore, this interface must be dimensioned in adequacy with this recovery of effort, resulting in significant maneuvering amplitudes to locking and unlocking.
Enfin, la présence d'une unique interface d'interconnexion ou d'engagement mutuel aboutira forcément à la subsistance d'un jeu en position verrouillée, notamment après une certaine période d'utilisation du conteneur, ce qui peut rendre le gerbage desdits conteneurs délicat et risqué.Finally, the presence of a single interface interconnection or mutual engagement will necessarily result in the maintenance of a game in locked position, especially after a certain period of use of the container, which can make the stacking of said containers delicate and risky.
La présente invention a notamment pour objet de surmonter au moins certains des inconvénients précités.The present invention is intended to overcome at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour principal objet un dispositif de verrouillage amovible en position redressée d'un montant rabattable ou repliable d'un conteneur, tel qu'évoqué ci-dessus, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que chaque moyen complémentaire comporte au moins deux dents ou crans fournissant par coopération, en fonction de leur configuration d'engagement mutuel, au moins deux positions verrouillées ou bloquées en pivotement distinctes pour le montant concerné, dont l'une correspond à sa position redressée et dont l'autre ou les autres correspond(ent) à une ou des position(s) proche(s) de cette position redressée, mais décalée(s) en direction de la position repliée de ce montant.To this end, the present invention has for main object a removable locking device in the upright position of a collapsible or collapsible amount of a container, as evoked above, this device being characterized in that each complementary means comprises at least two teeth or notches providing by cooperation, according to their mutual engagement configuration, at least two separate locked or locked pivot positions for the amount concerned, one of which corresponds to its upright position and the other of which the others correspond to a position or positions close to this rectified position, but staggered towards the folded position of this amount.

Les figures 1 à 4 représentent un dispositif 1 de verrouillage amovible en position redressée d'un montant 3 rabattable ou repliable, appartenant à un conteneur 4 à embase 5 à structure plane et à pourtour carré ou rectangulaire.Figures 1 to 4 show a
Ce conteneur 4 est pourvu de quatre montants 3 assemblés de manière pivotante par leurs extrémités inférieures respectives avec ladite embase 5, chacun au niveau d'un coin de cette dernière, et peuvent être déplacés en pivotement entre une position redressée (figures 3 et 4) dans laquelle les montants sont sensiblement positionnés perpendiculairement au plan de l'embase et une position repliée ou rabattue le long d'un bord latéral de l'embase, dans laquelle ces montants sont inclinés en direction de l'embase ou disposés parallèlement à celle-ci, en reposant éventuellement sur ladite embase par leur extrémité libre (figure 1).This
Ce dispositif de verrouillage 1 est constitué par deux moyens complémentaires 2 et 2' coopérant par engagement mutuel pour bloquer ou verrouiller automatiquement le montant 3 auquel il est associé, lorsqu'il est en position redressée. Un desdits moyens 2, 2' est solidaire dudit montant 3 et l'autre desdits moyens est solidaire de l'embase 5, le blocage ou verrouillage en position redressée pouvant être libéré par action sur l'un au moins desdits deux moyens 2 et 2'.This
Conformément à l'invention, chaque moyen complémentaire 2, 2' comporte au moins deux dents ou crans 6, 6' fournissant par coopération, en fonction de leur configuration d'engagement mutuel, au moins deux positions verrouillées ou bloquées en pivotement distinctes pour le montant 3 concerné, dont l'une correspond à sa position redressée et dont l'autre ou les autres correspond(ent) à une ou des position(s) proche(s) de cette position redressée, mais décalée(s) en direction de la position repliée de ce montant 3.According to the invention, each
Ainsi, les efforts de maintien du montant 3 considéré sont réparties sur au moins deux interfaces de contact entre dents ou crans 6 et 6', ces dernier(e)s pouvant présenter une taille plus faible (donc une structure plus massive et plus résistante) tout en garantissant un calage sûr et sans jeu à l'état verrouillé.Thus, the forces of maintaining the
De plus, la présence sur chaque moyen 2, 2' d'au moins deux, préférentiellement de plusieurs, dents ou crans, permettent de définir au moins une (préférentiellement plusieurs) position(s) de verrouillage intermédiaires. Ces positions intermédiaires sécurisées peuvent éventuellement être occupées temporairement par le montant 3 considéré, par exemple après une première opération ou un premier mouvement de redressement, un mouvement supplémentaire de pivotement final pouvant amener ultérieurement ledit montant 3 dans sa position redressée, également verrouillée (position normale d'utilisation de gerbage).In addition, the presence on each
Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, l'un des deux moyens complémentaires 2, 2' mutuellement coopérants comporte une pièce 7 qui est mobile par rapport à son corps support 3 ou 5 et porte les dents ou crans 6, 6', cette pièce mobile 7 étant sollicitée élastiquement vers une position dans laquelle ses dents ou crans 6, 6' viennent automatiquement en engagement ou en prise avec les dents ou crans 6', 6 de l'autre moyen 2', 2 lorsque le montant 3 considéré arrive par pivotement à proximité de sa position redressée, le nombre de dents ou de crans 6 et 6' mutuellement en prise augmentant au fur et à mesure que ledit montant 3 se rapproche de cette position redressée, en étant maximum dans cette dernière.According to a first feature of the invention, one of the two
De manière préférée, le dispositif 1 comporte un moyen fixe et un moyen mobile (relativement par rapport à son support correspondant) et ces moyens complémentaires mutuellement coopérants 2 et 2' forment ensemble un mécanisme du type cliquet/rochet, le moyen 2 ou 2' formant cliquet présentant une pièce 7 mobile en translation par rapport à son support et portant au moins deux dents ou crans 6 ou 6' au niveau de son extrémité dirigée vers l'autre moyen 2' ou 2 et ce dernier moyen complémentaire 2' ou 2 formant rochet et portant également au moins deux dents ou crans 6' ou 6, ces deux séries de dents ou crans 6 et 6' pouvant défiler relativement l'une par rapport à l'autre, avec définition d'une pluralité de positions d'encliquetage discrètes par enclenchement élastique, un nombre croissant de dents ou de crans 6, 6' venant mutuellement en prise au fur et à mesure que le montant considéré 3 se rapproche de sa position redressée.Preferably, the
