- the folding operations of the mesh panels on the base require an order in handling which, if it is not respected, causes damage to the panels and prevents stacking in this incorrectly folded position of the containers between them .
- the assembly or disassembly of the mesh panels requires most of the time, for maintenance reasons, particular tools.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by providing a container with enough modularity to be versatile.
- the invention relates to a modular container having a base and four panels fixed on four uprights by means of first and second fixing means adapted to allow the pivoting of each of the panels relative to the base , the first fastening means constituting an assembly consisting of a finger formed on the panel and a groove on the upright and inside which the finger can slide and pivot to allow the substantially horizontal folding of the panels on the base characterized in that the groove is substantially oval, snail-shaped and raised relative to the uprights, the groove comprising a U-shaped bottom extended by a first side wall located towards the inside of the container and a second sidewall located towards the outside of the container and parallel to the first, the first sidewall having an outwardly inclined and upwardly extending extension container, and an opening which is defined between the free ends of the second side wall and the inclined extension, the panels passing through said opening during their assembly and / or disassembly.
- the height of the grooves of the fixing means is preferably at least equal to four times the thickness of the panels so as to allow folding of the panels horizontally on the base.
- the uprights are pivotally mounted on the base to allow stacking containers.
- At least one of the panels has two parts movable relative to each other to allow the reduction of the height of the container during the loading of parts.
- the movable parts of the panels are advantageously pivotably mounted relative to each other to provide a robust hinge.
- the base comprises a recess to allow its transport.
- the base 3 forms the base of the container 1. It comprises a recess 21 in its lower part to allow its transport by forklifts.
- Each upright has a fixed part and a moving part relative to the base 3 ( figure 8 ).
- the fixed part forms the base of the upright and comprises a foot 27, a bracket 29 and locking means of the mobile part on the fixed part as shown in FIG. figure 11 .
- the figure 5 shows the movable portion of the amount which is a hollow tube 31 of substantially square section.
- the locking means of the fixed part on the movable portion of the upright consist of a pin housed on the foot 27 of the upright and a groove 35 located at the base of the tube.

- the tubes 31 have a length that is substantially less than the height of the container 1. This length is between 0.35 meters and 1.5 meters.
- a tube according to the example illustrated for the present invention preferably measures approximately 0.7 meters.
- the width of the upper half-panel is substantially the same as that of the lower half-panel.
- the width of the upper half-panel is preferably very slightly less than that of the lower half-panel.
- the dimensions may advantageously be as follows: 370 mm high for the width of the lower half-panel and 310 mm for the upper half-panel.
- the grooves 39a are approximately twice as high as the grooves 39b.
- the height of the grooves 39a is between 70 and 300 mm.
- a groove 39 preferably measures approximately 130 mm.
- the height of the grooves 39b is between 30 and 120 mm and.
- a groove 39b preferably measures substantially 60 mm.
- the container is preferably made of steel to give it better strength.
- the container may contain parts and / or products.
- figure 2 it is possible to reduce the height of the container 1 by folding one or more upper half-panels 13s, 15s, 17s and / or 17s so as to reduce the height of the container.
- This operation is performed by sliding the handles 43 of the upper half-panels to one another and horizontally.
- This operation makes it possible to free the fingers 45 from the handles of the orifices 47 of the tube, thus allowing the folding of the upper half-panel on the lower half-panel 8.
- the operator can more easily load parts or products into the container. .
- This folding is achieved by a pivoting of the panel relative to the base after the handles have been opened in the same way as the handles of the upper half-panel.
- the height of the grooves 39 is at least equal to the cumulative thickness of the four panels 1. This has the effect that, when the panels are folded on the base 3, they are in substantially horizontal position and this, whatever the order to fold the panels as shown in figure 4 .
- the operator is not obliged to respect a particular order.
- the panels can also be dismantled from the container. To do this, once the handles have slid, the operator pulls them upwards so as to free the fingers of the grooves by passing said panels through the opening of the grooves. This operation is fast and does not require any particular tools facilitating assembly, disassembly and maintenance of the container.
- the folding of the uprights 5, 7, 9 and 11 on the base 3 is made by sliding and pivoting the pin 33 of the foot in the groove 39, thereby making the container 1 able to be stacked on other containers . It is thus possible to save space when the containers have to be stored. In addition, damage to panels induced by misfolding can also be avoided when the containers are stacked on top of one another.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un conteneur adapté à la manutention, au transport et au stockage de pièces, notamment automobiles, ou de produits.The invention relates to a container adapted for the handling, transport and storage of parts, especially automobiles, or products.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un conteneur modulable et empilable constitué d'une embase, de quatre montants et de quatre panneaux.The invention relates more particularly to a modular and stackable container consisting of a base, four uprights and four panels.
Le conditionnement de pièces et de produits nécessite pour des raisons de transport, de manutention et de stockage des conteneurs spécifiques (adaptés à une pièce et/ou un produit) ou polyvalents (adaptés à plusieurs familles de pièces et/ou produits). Pour répondre à ce besoin, des conteneurs repliables existent déjà, mais ils ont généralement compte tenu de leur conception certains inconvénients.The packaging of parts and products requires, for reasons of transport, handling and storage of specific containers (adapted to a room and / or a product) or polyvalent (adapted to several families of rooms and / or products). To meet this need, collapsible containers already exist, but they generally have given their design some disadvantages.
Les conteneurs existants ont deux et non quatre panneaux repliables par demi-panneau ce qui impose un sens de positionnement du conteneur par rapport à l'opérateur compte tenu des règles d'ergonomie actuelles.The existing containers have two and not four folding panels per half-panel which imposes a direction of positioning of the container relative to the operator given the current rules of ergonomics.
Les demi-panneaux, une fois ouverts, sortent des dimensions du conteneur, provoquant ainsi lors des manutentions des détériorations par accrochage de ces demi-panneaux avec les autres conteneurs.The half-panels, once opened, out of the dimensions of the container, thus causing damage during handling by hanging these half-panels with the other containers.
Par ailleurs, les opérations de repliement des panneaux grillagés sur l'embase nécessitent un ordre dans les manipulations qui, s'il n'est pas respecté, provoque des détériorations des panneaux et empêche l'empilement dans cette position mal repliée des conteneurs entre eux.Moreover, the folding operations of the mesh panels on the base require an order in handling which, if it is not respected, causes damage to the panels and prevents stacking in this incorrectly folded position of the containers between them .
Une fois repliés, certains panneaux peuvent sortir ou dépasser de l'ensemble constitué occasionnant alors des pertes ou dégradations de ces panneaux lors des opérations de manutention.Once folded, some panels may come out or protrude from the assembly then causing losses or damage to these panels during handling operations.
Le montage ou démontage des panneaux grillagés nécessite la plupart du temps, pour des raisons d'entretien, des outillages particuliers.The assembly or disassembly of the mesh panels requires most of the time, for maintenance reasons, particular tools.
Lors des heurts provoqués par les « nids de poule » sur les routes, les camions transportant ces conteneurs leur transmettent des forces verticales qui tendent à désolidariser les panneaux de l'embase pouvant amener des pertes de pièces au travers de l'espace ainsi créé.During clashes caused by "potholes" on roads, trucks carrying these containers transmit them vertical forces that tend to separate the panels of the base that can cause losses of parts through the space thus created.

Le but de la présente invention est de pallier tout ou partie les inconvénients cités précédemment en proposant un conteneur offrant suffisamment de modularité pour être polyvalent.The object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by providing a container with enough modularity to be versatile.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un conteneur modulable comportant une embase et quatre panneaux fixés sur quatre montants par l'intermédiaire de premier et de deuxième moyens de fixation aptes à permettre le pivotement de chacun des panneaux par rapport à l'embase, les premiers moyens de fixation constituant un ensemble composé d'un doigt ménagé sur le panneau et d'une gorge située sur le montant et à l'intérieur de laquelle le doigt peut coulisser et pivoter pour permettre le repliement sensiblement horizontal des panneaux sur l'embase caractérisé en ce que la gorge est sensiblement ovale, en forme d'escargot et en relief par rapport aux montants, la gorge comprenant un fond en forme de U prolongé d'une première paroi latérale située vers l'intérieur du conteneur et d'une deuxième paroi latérale située vers l'extérieur du conteneur et parallèle à la première, la première paroi latérale ayant un prolongement incliné vers l'extérieur et vers le haut du conteneur, et une ouverture qui est définie entre les extrémités libres de la deuxième paroi latérale et du prolongement incliné, les panneaux transitant par ladite ouverture lors de leur montage et/ou de leur démontage.For this purpose, the invention relates to a modular container having a base and four panels fixed on four uprights by means of first and second fixing means adapted to allow the pivoting of each of the panels relative to the base , the first fastening means constituting an assembly consisting of a finger formed on the panel and a groove on the upright and inside which the finger can slide and pivot to allow the substantially horizontal folding of the panels on the base characterized in that the groove is substantially oval, snail-shaped and raised relative to the uprights, the groove comprising a U-shaped bottom extended by a first side wall located towards the inside of the container and a second sidewall located towards the outside of the container and parallel to the first, the first sidewall having an outwardly inclined and upwardly extending extension container, and an opening which is defined between the free ends of the second side wall and the inclined extension, the panels passing through said opening during their assembly and / or disassembly.
La hauteur des gorges des moyens de fixation est préférentiellement au moins égale à quatre fois l'épaisseur des panneaux de façon à permettre le repliement des panneaux à l'horizontale sur l'embase.The height of the grooves of the fixing means is preferably at least equal to four times the thickness of the panels so as to allow folding of the panels horizontally on the base.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les montants sont montés pivotants sur l'embase pour permettre l'empilement des conteneurs.According to another characteristic of the invention, the uprights are pivotally mounted on the base to allow stacking containers.
Au moins un des panneaux comporte deux parties mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre pour permettre la diminution de la hauteur du conteneur lors du chargement de pièces.At least one of the panels has two parts movable relative to each other to allow the reduction of the height of the container during the loading of parts.
Les parties mobiles des panneaux sont montées de façon avantageuse pivotantes l'une par rapport à l'autre pour permettre une articulation robuste.The movable parts of the panels are advantageously pivotably mounted relative to each other to provide a robust hinge.
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'embase comporte un évidement pour permettre son transport.According to another characteristic of the invention, the base comprises a recess to allow its transport.
