Description

La présente invention a trait à un dispositif anti-basculement pour mobilier de type armoire comprenant des éléments tels que des tiroirs pouvant être déployés au-delà de sa façade. Dans ce cas, ledit déploiement conduit à modifier la position du centre de gravité de l'armoire, et fait courir le risque d'un basculement de l'armoire lorsque la position dudit centre de gravité crée un moment par rapport au centre géométrique de l'armoire qui n'est pas suffisamment compensé par la structure de cette dernière.The present invention relates to an anti-tilt device for cabinet-type furniture comprising elements such as drawers that can be deployed beyond its front. In this case, said deployment leads to change the position of the center of gravity of the cabinet, and runs the risk of a tilting of the cabinet when the position of said center of gravity creates a moment relative to the geometric center of the cabinet. cabinet that is not sufficiently compensated by the structure of the latter.

Ce problème est classiquement résolu par l'emploi de contrepoids, en général situés au voisinage de la base de l'armoire. Plus précisément, les solutions utilisées recourent à une ou plusieurs plaques de forte densité localisée(s) sur ou à la place de la base. C'est ce qui est par exemple montré dans le document WO98/33416 qui présente, à titre de base de la commode décrite, un matériau non métallique d'épaisseur bien supérieure aux parois latérales métalliques du cadre, et ayant une densité prévue pour exercer un contrepoids suffisant pour contrebalancer les effets des tiroirs lorsqu'ils sont ouverts.This problem is conventionally solved by the use of counterweights, usually located near the base of the cabinet. More precisely, the solutions used use one or more plates of high density localized on or in place of the base. This is shown for example in the document WO98 / 33416 which has, as a base of the described dresser, a non-metallic material of much greater thickness than the metal side walls of the frame, and having a density designed to exert a counterweight sufficient to counterbalance the effects of the drawers when they are open.

Alternativement, il est connu d'intégrer des plaques formant contrepoids sous la plaque formant la base du meuble.Alternatively, it is known to integrate counterweight plates under the plate forming the base of the furniture.

Ces solutions présentent cependant un caractère quasi définitif, puisque le contrepoids devient partie intégrante de la structure de l'armoire. Il est alors malaisé de procéder à des modifications du contrepoids, par exemple pour correspondre à des évolutions touchant l'armoire ou la commode (adjonction de nouveaux tiroirs, nouvelle fonction ou utilisation du meuble, etc.). S'il est nécessaire de procéder au remplacement ou à l'ajustement du contrepoids, il faut en effet dans ce cas démonter une partie de l'armoire, qui doit d'ailleurs le cas échéant être préalablement vidée, afin de pouvoir réaliser l'opération dans des conditions correctes.These solutions, however, have a virtually definitive character, since the counterweight becomes part of the structure of the cabinet. It is then difficult to make changes to the counterweight, for example to correspond to developments affecting the cabinet or dresser (adding new drawers, new function or use of the furniture, etc.). If it is necessary to replace or adjust the counterweight, it is indeed necessary in this case to disassemble part of the cabinet, which must also be emptied if necessary, in order to realize the operation in correct conditions.

Par ailleurs, il est courant de procéder au lestage d'une armoire à l'aide de contrepoids seulement une fois qu'elle a été livrée au client, afin d'en faciliter la manipulation au cours de la livraison.In addition, it is common practice to weight a cabinet with counterweight only once it has been delivered to the customer, for ease of handling during delivery.

Dans cette hypothèse, il n'est pas possible d'achever le montage de l'armoire en usine, puisque l'installation du contrepoids nécessite un démontage partiel.In this case, it is not possible to complete the installation of the cabinet in the factory, since the installation of the counterweight requires partial disassembly.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients, par la mise en place d'un contrepoids qui n'est pas lié à la structure de l'armoire et procure une efficacité accrue par rapport aux solutions existantes.The present invention proposes to overcome these disadvantages, by setting up a counterweight which is not related to the structure of the cabinet and provides greater efficiency compared to existing solutions.

De manière générale, le dispositif antibasculement de l'invention s'adresse à des mobiliers de rangement du type armoire comprenant :

  • une structure dotée de parois extérieures supérieure et latérales, d'une base et d'un fond ;
  • un premier support pour étagères monté à une première paroi latérale et un second support pour étagères monté à une seconde paroi latérale.
In general, the anti-tip device of the invention is intended for storage furniture of the cabinet type comprising:
  • a structure with upper and lateral outer walls, a base and a bottom;
  • a first shelf support mounted to a first side wall and a second shelf support mounted to a second side wall.

L'invention objet de la présente demande se caractérise à titre principal en ce que la structure ci-dessus comporte :

  • une fente ménagée entre les premier et second supports et le fond du mobilier ;
  • un contrepoids prévu pour être inséré dans ladite fente.
The invention which is the subject of the present application is characterized principally by the fact that the above structure comprises:
  • a slot formed between the first and second supports and the bottom of the furniture;
  • a counterweight provided to be inserted into said slot.

En fait, pour des raisons d'efficience du système, le contrepoids est placé à proximité de la base du mobilier.In fact, for reasons of efficiency of the system, the counterweight is placed near the base of the furniture.

Pour satisfaire à la condition précitée visant à faciliter l'installation du contrepoids sans toucher à la structure du meuble, une condition de forme est ensuite posée : un premier côté du contrepoids comporte un profil permettant l'insertion dans la fente de la seconde paroi latérale d'un second côté dudit contrepoids de sorte que le contrepoids puisse être pivoté pour permettre l'insertion du premier côté dans la fente de la première paroi latérale.To satisfy the aforementioned condition to facilitate the installation of the counterweight without affecting the structure of the furniture, a form condition is then posed: a first side of the counterweight has a profile for insertion into the slot of the second side wall a second side of said counterweight so that the counterweight can be pivoted to allow insertion of the first side into the slot of the first side wall.

Plus précisément, le dispositif anti-basculement de l'invention, qui concerne des mobiliers constitués d'un cadre d'allure parallélépipédique auquel est fixé un fond vertical et dont au moins les côtés latéraux sont revêtus d'une paroi intérieure, se caractérise en ce que :

  • des fentes sont ménagées entre les chants arrières desdites parois intérieures et le fond ;
  • au moins une plaque d'allure rectangulaire fabriquée en un matériau lourd est insérée et maintenue verticale dans lesdites fentes, ladite plaque présentant sur un premier côté latéral un profil faisant varier sa longueur dans le sens d'une réduction vers au moins un de ses chants supérieur ou inférieur, ladite réduction étant prévue pour autoriser un pivotement par rapport au coin supérieur opposé de la plaque, prenant une forme arrondie à cet effet ;
  • des moyens de préhension sont prévus pour déplacer la plaque en vue de l'implanter dans ou de l'extraire de l'armoire.
More specifically, the anti-tilt device of the invention, which relates to furniture made of a parallelepiped-shaped frame to which is attached a vertical bottom and whose at least the lateral sides are coated with an inner wall, is characterized by what:
  • slots are provided between the rear edges of said inner walls and the bottom;
  • at least one rectangular looking plate made of a heavy material is inserted and held vertically in said slots, said plate having on a first lateral side a profile varying its length in the direction of a reduction towards at least one of its songs higher or lower, said reduction being provided to allow pivoting relative to the opposite upper corner of the plate, taking a rounded shape for this purpose;
  • gripping means are provided for moving the plate for implantation into or out of the cabinet.

Contrairement à ses devanciers, le dispositif anti-basculement qui est proposé permet un positionnement du point d'application de la charge situé à l'opposé de la zone de déploiement des tiroirs, garantissant ainsi une efficacité maximale. Il est dès lors possible d'utiliser des contrepoids dont le poids est moindre compte tenu de la création d'un couple résistant amélioré par rapport aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur.Unlike its predecessors, the anti-tilt device that is proposed allows a positioning of the point of application of the load located opposite the drawer deployment area, thus ensuring maximum efficiency. It is therefore possible to use counterweights whose weight is less given the creation of an improved resistant torque compared to the devices of the prior art.

Le dispositif de l'invention est en outre très aisément modulable, puisqu'un empilement de plaques formant contrepoids est facilement réalisable. Ces plaques coulissent en effet simplement dans les fentes existant entre les parois internes et le fond, et la forme particulière de leur pourtour autorise un montage/démontage aisé, c'est-à-dire sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'effectuer un pivotement de grande amplitude.The device of the invention is also very easily adjustable, since a stack of counterweight plates is easily achievable. These plates simply slide in the slots between the inner walls and the bottom, and the particular shape of their periphery allows easy assembly / disassembly, that is to say without the need to perform pivoting large amplitude.

Selon une possibilité, le premier côté latéral comporte en son milieu un ergot arrondi suivi vers ses extrémités inférieure et supérieure d'une portion de chant faisant régulièrement décroître la longueur de la plaque.According to one possibility, the first lateral side comprises in its middle a rounded lug followed towards its lower and upper ends of a portion of song regularly decreasing the length of the plate.

L'existence de l'ergot permet de garantir la retenue de la plaque dans la fente correspondante et au contact du fond. Les portions de chant faisant décroître la longueur de la plaque ont pour objet de limiter l'amplitude de la rotation nécessaire au montage/démontage de la plaque.The existence of the lug makes it possible to guarantee the retention of the plate in the corresponding slot and in contact with the bottom. The edge portions decreasing the length of the plate are intended to limit the amount of rotation required for mounting / dismounting the plate.

De préférence, ces portions sont rectilignes, et se terminent par un coin arrondi.Preferably, these portions are rectilinear, and end with a rounded corner.

Le second côté latéral de la plaque obéit à la même logique de retenue dans une fente, c'est-à-dire qu'il comporte, à ses extrémités supérieure et inférieure, deux ergots arrondis séparés par une portion rectiligne.The second lateral side of the plate obeys the same logic of retention in a slot, that is to say that it comprises at its upper and lower ends, two rounded lugs separated by a straight portion.

L'aspect déterminant de ce profil réside dans les coins arrondis, qui permettent d'effectuer un pivotement au cours de l'opération de montage/démontage. Dans l'hypothèse où l'ergot de retenue du premier côté latéral est central, la plaque présente un pourtour ayant une symétrie d'axe médian horizontal favorable en termes de production puisque les autres découpes peuvent ensuite être effectuées indifféremment d'un côté ou de l'autre.The defining feature of this profile is the rounded corners, which allow pivoting during the assembly / disassembly operation. Assuming that the retaining lug of the first lateral side is central, the plate has a periphery having a favorable median horizontal axis symmetry in terms of production since the other cuts can then be made indifferently on one side or the other.

Plus précisément, les moyens de préhension peuvent consister, selon une configuration possible, en au moins un orifice situé au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du premier côté latéral de la plaque, ledit orifice étant dimensionné pour permettre au moins le passage des doigts d'un opérateur.More specifically, the gripping means may consist, in a possible configuration, in at least one orifice located in the vicinity of the end upper of the first lateral side of the plate, said orifice being sized to allow at least the passage of the fingers of an operator.

On notera que l'orifice de préhension se situe bien entendu à l'opposé de l'axe de pivotement, de manière à rendre l'opération plus confortable.Note that the gripping port is of course opposite the pivot axis, so as to make the operation more comfortable.

Les plaques, lorsqu'elles sont montées dans les armoires en vue de réaliser un contrepoids, reposent horizontalement sur leur chant inférieur. II en résulte, au moins pendant une partie du déplacement qui leur est conféré pendant le montage, un coulissement vertical dans les fentes latérales. Ce coulissement peut être facilité par l'existence de deux lumières verticales débouchant dans le chant inférieur en une portion évasée de centrage, lesdites lumières étant prévues pour coopérer avec des galets d'un système de guidage du cadre de l'armoire.The plates, when mounted in the cabinets to make a counterweight, lie horizontally on their lower edge. This results, at least during part of the displacement which is conferred upon them during the assembly, a vertical sliding in the lateral slots. This sliding can be facilitated by the existence of two vertical lights opening into the lower edge in a flared centering portion, said slots being provided to cooperate with rollers of a guide system of the cabinet frame.

De préférence, la plaque est en acier, et elle présente une épaisseur comprise entre 4 et 10 mm.Preferably, the plate is made of steel, and it has a thickness of between 4 and 10 mm.

L'invention concerne également un procédé visant à empêcher le basculement d'une armoire à l'aide du dispositif précité, c'est-à-dire par mise en place d'au moins une plaque telle que décrite ci-dessus. Ce dispositif se caractérise à titre essentiel par les étapes suivantes :

  • positionnement en biais de la plaque contre le fond, premier côté latéral vers le haut ;
  • insertion de l'extrémité supérieure du second côté latéral de la plaque dans la fente d'un des côtés latéraux de l'armoire ;
  • pivotement de la plaque autour de ladite extrémité supérieure en vue d'insérer le premier côté latéral dans la fente opposée de l'armoire ;
  • horizontalisation de la plaque par mise en contact avec la base du cadre de l'armoire ou le chant supérieur d'une plaque déjà positionnée.
The invention also relates to a method for preventing the tilting of a cabinet using the aforementioned device, that is to say by placing at least one plate as described above. This device is characterized by the following essential steps:
  • positioning the plate at an angle against the bottom, first lateral side upwards;
  • inserting the upper end of the second lateral side of the plate into the slot of one of the lateral sides of the cabinet;
  • pivoting the plate about said upper end to insert the first side side into the opposite slot of the cabinet;
  • horizontalization of the plate by contact with the base of the cabinet frame or the upper edge of a plate already positioned.

Selon une possibilité, cette horizontalisation s'accompagne d'une insertion des galets du système de guidage dans les lumières pratiquées dans le chant inférieur de la plaque.According to one possibility, this horizontalization is accompanied by an insertion of the rollers of the guide system in the lights made in the lower edge of the plate.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail, en référence aux figures annexées, pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'une plaque selon l'invention ; et
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe partielle d'une armoire équipée de deux plaques empilées contre le fond.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended figures, for which:
  • the figure 1 is an elevational view of a plate according to the invention; and
  • the figure 2 is a partial sectional view of a cabinet equipped with two plates stacked against the bottom.

En référence à la figure 1, la plaque (1), par exemple métallique, comporte sur son côté latéral (2) un téton central (3) arrondi entouré de deux portions de chant rectilignes (3) et (4) se terminant en des coins arrondis (5, 5').With reference to the figure 1 , the plate (1), for example metallic, has on its lateral side (2) a rounded central stud (3) surrounded by two rectilinear edge portions (3) and (4) ending in rounded corners (5, 5). ').

Le second côté latéral comporte deux tétons arrondis (6, 7) placés aux coins, entourant une portion rectiligne (8). Deux découpes parallèles (9, 10) débouchent au niveau du chant inférieur (11) via des embouchures évasées (12, 13). Au voisinage du coin supérieur arrondi (5) et de la portion rectiligne (3), une découpe oblongue (14) sert de moyen de préhension de la plaque (1).The second lateral side has two rounded nipples (6, 7) placed at the corners, surrounding a rectilinear portion (8). Two parallel cuts (9, 10) open at the lower edge (11) via flared mouths (12, 13). In the vicinity of the rounded upper corner (5) and the rectilinear portion (3), an oblong cutout (14) serves as a gripping means for the plate (1).

En référence à la figure 2, deux plaques (1, 1') sont disposées contre le fond (15) de l'armoire (A) représentée. Cette armoire (A) comporte un cadre d'allure parallélépipédique dont sont visibles les côtés latéraux (16, 17) et la base (18). Des parois latérales intérieures (19, 20) équipent les côtés latéraux (16, 17) du cadre extérieur. Des fentes ont été ménagées entre ces parois intérieures (19, 20) et le fond (15), ainsi le cas échéant qu'entre le cadre (18) de la base et le fond (15), ladite base étant constituée d'une plaque (non représentée) insérée dans le cadre (18) apparent.With reference to the figure 2 two plates (1, 1 ') are arranged against the bottom (15) of the cabinet (A) shown. This cabinet (A) has a parallelepiped-shaped frame which are visible on the lateral sides (16, 17) and the base (18). Inner side walls (19, 20) are provided on the lateral sides (16, 17) of the outer frame. Slots have been formed between these inner walls (19, 20) and the bottom (15), and where appropriate between the frame (18) of the base and the bottom (15), said base consisting of a plate (not shown) inserted into the visible frame (18).

La mise en place ou le démontage de chaque plaque (1, 1') se fait de la manière suivante : l'opérateur la place contre le fond (15) de l'armoire (A), en biais de telle sorte que le premier côté latéral, celui qui est muni de l'ergot (2), soit relevé et que l'ergot (6) du second chant latéral soit inséré dans la fente qu'il jouxte.The introduction or the dismounting of each plate (1, 1 ') is done in the following way: the operator places it against the bottom (15) of the cupboard (A), at an angle so that the first side, the one with the pin (2), is raised and the lug (6) of the second side edge is inserted into the slot it adjoins.

Compte tenu de l'inclinaison de la portion rectiligne (4), l'angle d'inclinaison de la plaque (1) peut être maintenu relativement faible.Given the inclination of the rectilinear portion (4), the angle of inclination of the plate (1) can be kept relatively low.

En exerçant une rotation autour du pivot constitué par l'ergot (6), le coin arrondi (5') peut être inséré dans la fente qui lui fait face, c'est-à-dire celle qui est située entre le fond (15) et la paroi interne (20). En continuant le mouvement de pivotement, le reste du premier côté latéral, et notamment l'ergot arrondi (2) pénètre à son tour dans ladite fente. Ce mouvement est contrôlé par l'opérateur en utilisant l'orifice de préhension (14). L'ergot (7) arrondi pénètre à son tour dans la fente située entre la paroi interne (19) et le fond (15), et lorsqu'il arrive en butée, la plaque (1) est peu ou prou horizontalisée. Il est alors possible de la faire descendre au contact du fond de la fente située entre le cadre (18) et le fond (15), ce mouvement pouvant au surplus être guidé par des galets (non visibles) du système de guidage parallèle du cadre, lesdits galets coulissant dans les lumières (9) et (10). Les embouchures évasées (12) et (13) de ces lumières servent s'il en est besoin à centrer lesdits galets dans lesdites lumières (9, 10).By rotating about the pivot constituted by the lug (6), the rounded corner (5 ') can be inserted into the slot facing it, that is to say the one which is located between the bottom (15). ) and the inner wall (20). Continuing the pivoting movement, the remainder of the first lateral side, and in particular the rounded lug (2) in turn penetrates into said slot. This movement is controlled by the operator using the grip hole (14). The rounded lug (7) in turn penetrates into the slot located between the inner wall (19) and the bottom (15), and when it comes into abutment, the plate (1) is more or less horizontal. It is then possible to bring it down into contact with the bottom of the slot located between the frame (18) and the bottom (15), this movement being able to be further guided by rollers (not visible) of the parallel guiding system of the frame. said rollers sliding in the slots (9) and (10). The flared mouths (12) and (13) of these lights serve if necessary to center said rollers in said slots (9, 10).

II est possible d'ajouter d'autres plaques métalliques (1, 1') selon le contrepoids désiré, c'est-à-dire en fonction par exemple du nombre de tiroirs installés dans l'armoire.It is possible to add other metal plates (1, 1 ') according to the desired counterweight, that is to say depending for example on the number of drawers installed in the cabinet.

Bien entendu, la forme donnée notamment à la plaque (1) n'est nullement limitative de l'invention. Le premier côté latéral, comportant l'ergot (2), pourrait ainsi par exemple comporter cet ergot en partie supérieure, au niveau du coin (5), avec un profil de chant entraînant une réduction progressive de la longueur de la plaque jusqu'au coin (5').Of course, the shape given in particular to the plate (1) is not limiting of the invention. The first lateral side, comprising the lug (2), could thus for example include this lug in the upper part, at the corner (5), with a edge profile resulting in a gradual reduction of the length of the plate to the corner (5 ').
