Description

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

L'objet de l'invention a trait au domaine des rangements spécialement adaptés pour le stockage, et éventuellement le transport d'au moins un article dans une valise.The object of the invention relates to the field of storage specially adapted for storage, and possibly the transport of at least one item in a bag.

Le coût de l'immobilier et le prix croissant du mètre carré habitable impliquent de nouvelles problématiques en ce qui concerne l'encombrement et les moyens de stockage.The cost of real estate and the increasing price of the living square meter imply new issues with regard to the size and the means of storage.

A titre illustratif, de nombreuses sociétés de gardiennage de meubles et de biens se sont développées, et demandent des prix, bien souvent prohibitifs, proportionnels au volume à stocker.By way of illustration, many furniture and property security companies have developed and demand prices, often prohibitive, proportional to the volume to be stocked.

De même, le développement des différents moyens de transport, la flexibilité du travail et les formules de week-end achetées sur Internet aux derniers moments entraînent un besoin grandissant dans le domaine de la bagagerie.Similarly, the development of different means of transport, the flexibility of work and the weekend packages purchased on the Internet at the last moments lead to a growing need in the field of luggage.

Or, les compagnies de transport taxent bien souvent l'encombrement de chaque bagage ; les véhicules offrant de moins en moins de place pour disposer plusieurs bagages.However, transport companies often tax the size of each piece of luggage; vehicles offering less and less space for several pieces of luggage.

Plus généralement, on peut constater que la bagagerie classique et, de façon plus globale, les moyens de rangement ne conviennent pas forcément aux besoins des personnes qui veulent stocker des articles volumineux ou qui voyagent, ni aux volumes transportés.More generally, it can be seen that conventional luggage and, more generally, the storage means are not necessarily suitable for the needs of people who want to store bulky items or traveling, or volumes transported.

Cette problématique de stockage et de transport se retrouve de façon identique dans le domaine de la grande distribution et du fret : les articles ou marchandises doivent être compactées pour des raisons d'encombrement et de coût, puis transportées.This problem of storage and transport is found in the same way in the field of large-scale distribution and freight: articles or goods must be compacted for reasons of space and cost, and then transported.

De façon connue, il existe des housses de transport sous vide qui permettent de comprimer les articles en produisant le vide dans la housse.In known manner, there are vacuum transport covers that can compress the articles by producing the vacuum in the cover.

Il existe également des valises qui intègrent ce genre de housses pour les protéger et les transporter, voire les stocker provisoirement.There are also suitcases that incorporate this kind of covers to protect and transport them, or even temporarily store them.

Ce genre de housses et de valises sont particulièrement adaptés pour les articles textiles saisonniers. FR 2 912 997 et FR 2 894 939 décrivent de telles housses et valises.This kind of covers and suitcases are particularly suitable for seasonal textile items. FR 2,912,997 and FR 2 894 939 describe such covers and suitcases.

Selon notamment le document US 2005/0173439 , les housses actuelles disposent d'une enveloppe apte à contenir des articles textiles.According to the document US 2005/0173439 the actual covers have an envelope capable of containing textile articles.

Cette enveloppe comprend principalement une valve pour l'extraction de l'air contenu à l'intérieur de celle-ci, ce qui permet de comprimer les articles contenus dans l'enveloppe.This envelope mainly comprises a valve for extracting the air contained therein, which compresses the items contained in the envelope.

En outre, selon l'art antérieur connu, ladite enveloppe comprend à son extrémité inférieure, une feuille plastique s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'enveloppe verticale, la feuille plastique étant solidarisée avec une plaque de dimensions correspondantes, celle-ci étant notamment en carton et éventuellement revêtue d'un tissu. L'assemblage de la plaque avec la feuille se fait notamment par couture.In addition, according to the known prior art, said envelope comprises at its lower end, a plastic sheet extending substantially in a plane perpendicular to the vertical envelope, the plastic sheet being secured to a plate of corresponding dimensions, the latter being in particular cardboard and possibly coated with a fabric. The assembly of the plate with the sheet is done by sewing.

Cette plaque en carton s'étend longitudinalement et comprend en ses extrémités des plis qui permettent, lors de la compression des articles, de former un fond de forme parallélépipédique.This cardboard plate extends longitudinally and comprises at its ends folds which, during compression of the articles, form a parallelepiped shaped bottom.

Les articles comprimés prennent ainsi la forme d'un parallélépipède.The compressed articles thus take the form of a parallelepiped.

Cependant, la feuille de plastique et la plaque cartonnée travaillant différemment lors de la mise en forme du parallélépipède, une telle conception présente pour inconvénient, que la feuille plastique s'arrache au niveau des points de fixation avec la plaque.However, the plastic sheet and the cardboard plate working differently during the shaping of the parallelepiped, such a design has the disadvantage that the plastic sheet tears at the points of attachment with the plate.

Il existe également des housses, notamment selon le document US 2006/0120631 , dans lesquelles la plaque cartonnée est directement disposée dans le fond de la housse.There are also covers, especially according to the document US 2006/0120631 , in which the cardboard plate is directly disposed in the bottom of the cover.

Ce genre de housse présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients.This type of cover has a number of disadvantages.

Notamment en cas de mauvais positionnement de la plaque, après avoir rempli la housse et y avoir fait le vide, il est nécessaire d'ouvrir cette housse, de la décompresser, de retirer l'article, puis de repositionner convenablement la plaque.Especially in case of misplacement of the plate, after filling the cover and have evacuated, it is necessary to open the cover, to unzip, remove the item, then properly reposition the plate.

Objet et résumé de l'inventionObject and summary of the invention

L'objet de l'invention tente de remédier aux inconvénients précités, et vise également à réduire le coût de fabrication d'une housse de rangement.The object of the invention attempts to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, and also aims to reduce the cost of manufacturing a storage cover.

A cet effet, l'objet de l'invention concerne une housse de rangement d'au moins un article, tel qu'un article textile selon la revendication 1. FR 2 912 997 , FR 2 894 939 et US 2005/0173439 décrivent la préambule de la revendication 1.For this purpose, the object of the invention relates to a storage bag for at least one article, such as a textile article according to claim 1. FR 2,912,997 , FR 2 894 939 and US 2005/0173439 describe the preamble of claim 1.

Cette housse de rangement selon la présente invention comprend, d'une part, une première enveloppe qui s'étend vers le haut, et qui est munie en son extrémité supérieure d'une ouverture pour l'insertion du ou des articles.This storage bag according to the present invention comprises, on the one hand, a first envelope which extends upwards, and which is provided at its upper end with an opening for the insertion of the article or articles.

La housse de rangement selon la présente invention comprend, d'autre part, une plaque munie de moyens de pliage pour la formation d'une embase parallélépipédique dans laquelle est disposée au moins la partie inférieure de la première enveloppe.The storage bag according to the present invention comprises, on the other hand, a plate provided with folding means for the formation of a parallelepipedic base in which is arranged at least the lower part of the first envelope.

Cette housse de rangement comprend également une seconde enveloppe qui est assemblée horizontalement en dessous de l'extrémité inférieure de la première enveloppe.This storage bag also includes a second casing that is assembled horizontally below the lower end of the first casing.

On remarquera que cette seconde enveloppe présente des dimensions légèrement supérieures à la plaque, et qu'elle comporte au moins une ouverture dans la seconde enveloppe pour l'introduction de la plaque.It will be noted that this second envelope has dimensions slightly greater than the plate, and that it comprises at least one opening in the second envelope for the introduction of the plate.

Cette conception de la seconde enveloppe évite ainsi toute fixation ou assemblage de la plaque avec le reste de la housse.This design of the second envelope thus avoids any attachment or assembly of the plate with the rest of the cover.

On notera, plus particulièrement, que l'agencement entre la seconde enveloppe et la plaque permet que les éléments travaillent indépendamment l'un de l'autre, et évite ainsi tout arrachage de la plaque et/ou de la seconde enveloppe.It will be noted, more particularly, that the arrangement between the second envelope and the plate allows the elements to work independently of one another, and thus avoids any tearing of the plate and / or the second envelope.

Avantageusement, la première enveloppe comprend en son extrémité supérieure des moyens de fermeture de l'ouverture, qui peuvent être par exemple un système de zip. Ces moyens de fermeture permettent l'herméticité de la housse.Advantageously, the first envelope comprises at its upper end closure means of the opening, which may be for example a zip system. These closure means allow the hermeticity of the cover.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la première enveloppe comprend sur l'une de ses parois des moyens d'extraction de l'air, qui peuvent par exemple être une valve. Ces moyens d'extraction permettent l'extraction de l'air contenu à l'intérieur de ladite première enveloppe.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first envelope comprises on one of its walls means for extracting air, which may for example be a valve. These extraction means allow the extraction of the air contained within said first envelope.

On notera, ainsi, que la coopération des moyens de fermeture hermétique et des moyens d'extraction de l'air permet de comprimer le ou les articles contenus dans la première enveloppe.It will be noted, therefore, that the cooperation of the hermetic closure means and the air extraction means makes it possible to compress the article or articles contained in the first envelope.

Ces moyens facilitent ainsi le rangement du ou des articles dans la première enveloppe tout en limitant leur encombrement.These means thus facilitate the storage of the item or items in the first envelope while limiting their size.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la seconde enveloppe, la partie inférieure de la première enveloppe et la plaque sont de forme rectangulaire.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the second envelope, the lower part of the first envelope and the plate are of rectangular shape.

Plus particulièrement, la largeur de la plaque est inférieure à la largeur de la seconde enveloppe ainsi qu'à celle de la partie inférieure de la première enveloppe. La longueur de la plaque est inférieure à la longueur de la seconde enveloppe ainsi qu'à celle de la partie inférieure de la première enveloppe.More particularly, the width of the plate is less than the width of the second envelope as well as that of the lower part of the first envelope. The length of the plate is less than the length of the second envelope and that of the lower part of the first envelope.

La plaque peut comprendre deux lignes de pliage s'étendant transversalement, et séparant cette plaque en une partie centrale et deux parties latérales rabattables pour la formation de l'embase parallélépipédique ; la partie centrale étant de longueur légèrement supérieure à la longueur de la première enveloppe à l'état compressé, c'est-à-dire l'extraction de l'air réalisée.The plate may comprise two fold lines extending transversely, and separating said plate into a central portion and two foldable side portions for the formation of the parallelepiped base; the central portion being of length slightly greater than the length of the first envelope in the compressed state, that is to say the extraction of the air produced.

Dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention, la seconde enveloppe comprend deux extrémités latérales munies chacune d'une ouverture pour l'insertion de la plaque.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the second envelope comprises two lateral ends each provided with an opening for the insertion of the plate.

Dans une variante d'un mode de réalisation particulier décrit ci-dessus, les deux parties latérales rabattables sont de longueur identique et dimensionnée pour que le volume de l'embase parallélépipédique corresponde au volume de la première enveloppe une fois l'air extrait.In a variant of a particular embodiment described above, the two foldable lateral parts are of identical length and dimensioned so that the volume of the parallelepiped base corresponds to the volume of the first envelope once the air extracted.

Corrélativement, l'objet de l'invention porte également sur un sac de rangement et/ou de transport d'articles selon la revendication 8.Correlatively, the subject of the invention also relates to a storage bag and / or article transport bag according to claim 8.

Plus précisément, ce sac de rangement est constitué d'un contenant correspondant à une housse extérieure notamment de la forme d'une valise, et d'une housse de rangement selon l'un des modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus ; cette housse de rangement étant apte à être enfermée dans ledit contenant.More specifically, this storage bag consists of a container corresponding to an outer cover including the shape of a suitcase, and a storage bag according to one of the embodiments described above; this storage bag being adapted to be enclosed in said container.

Selon une variante de la présente invention, le contenant comprend une paroi verticale périphérique. Cette paroi comprend sur sa face interne des moyens de réception de l'embase parallélépipédique pour la stabilisation de la housse dans le contenant.According to a variant of the present invention, the container comprises a peripheral vertical wall. This wall comprises on its inner face means for receiving the parallelepiped base for stabilizing the cover in the container.

Dans un mode particulier de cette variante, la paroi verticale périphérique comprend au moins deux côtés latéraux, et les moyens de réception sont constitués par des rabats situés au niveau des extrémités angulaires supérieures de ces deux côtés latéraux.In a particular embodiment of this variant, the peripheral vertical wall comprises at least two lateral sides, and the receiving means consist of flaps located at the upper angular ends of these two lateral sides.

Ces rabats permettent, ainsi, la réception des extrémités angulaires des parties latérales rabattables de la plaque lors de la formation de l'embase parallélépipédique.These flaps thus allow the reception of the angular ends of the foldable lateral parts of the plate during the formation of the parallelepipedic base.

Enfin, l'objet de l'invention portera sur un kit selon la revendication 11 constitué d'une part d'un sac, comprenant une housse de rangement, et d'autre part d'un appareil de pompage qui permet l'extraction de l'air dans la housse. Cet appareil de pompage est de préférence une pompe de voyage ou un mini-aspirateur qui peut, par exemple, être disposé dans le contenant une fois la housse de rangement comprimé.Finally, the subject of the invention will relate to a kit according to claim 11 consisting on the one hand of a bag, comprising a storage cover, and on the other hand a pumping apparatus which allows the extraction of the air in the cover. This pumping apparatus is preferably a travel pump or a mini-vacuum which can, for example, be placed in the container once the storage bag is compressed.

Description détaillée d'un mode de réalisationDetailed description of an embodiment

Une housse 1 et une valise 7 conformes à l'invention vont maintenant être décrites dans un mode de réalisation particulier en faisant référence conjointement aux figures 1 à 5.A cover 1 and a suitcase 7 according to the invention will now be described in a particular embodiment with reference in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 .

La housse 1 selon les figures 1 et 2 est constituée d'une première enveloppe 2 qui s'étend de façon sensiblement verticale, et d'une seconde enveloppe 3 qui est disposée d'une façon sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'extrémité inférieure de la première enveloppe 2.The cover 1 according to the figures 1 and 2 consists of a first casing 2 which extends substantially vertically, and a second casing 3 which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the lower end of the first casing 2.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ici, la première enveloppe 2 comprend une valve 17 qui est apte à extraire l'air contenu dans cette enveloppe 2 pour comprimer la housse. Il est à noter que cette valve est apte à coopérer avec n'importe quel type de pompe ou aspirateur.In the embodiment described here, the first envelope 2 comprises a valve 17 which is able to extract the air contained in the envelope 2 to compress the cover. It should be noted that this valve is able to cooperate with any type of pump or vacuum cleaner.

La première enveloppe comprend en outre un système de zip 18 qui permet une fermeture hermétique de la première enveloppe 2.The first envelope further comprises a zip system 18 which allows a hermetic closure of the first envelope 2.

La valise 7 selon les figures 3 et 4 prend la forme d'un parallélépipède qui présente des dimensions sensiblement supérieures à celles de la housse 1 à l'état comprimé. Typiquement, cette valise 7 comporte un fond 8, quatre parois latérales 9 à 12, ainsi qu'une partie supérieure 13 qui est munie d'un système d'ouverture 14 agencé entre les bords périphériques de la partie supérieure 13 et l'extrémité supérieure des parois latérales 9 à 12.Suitcase 7 according to Figures 3 and 4 takes the form of a parallelepiped which has dimensions substantially greater than those of the cover 1 in the compressed state. Typically, this bag 7 comprises a bottom 8, four side walls 9 to 12, and an upper portion 13 which is provided with an opening system 14 arranged between the peripheral edges of the upper portion 13 and the upper end side walls 9 to 12.

Dans le cadre du transport d'un article qui peut être comprimé, la housse 1 et la valise 7 peuvent se révéler être très avantageuses.In the context of transporting an article that can be compressed, the cover 1 and the bag 7 can be very advantageous.

Prenons l'exemple d'une personne qui veut transporter une couette (article textile très volumineux) et qui dispose d'un kit selon l'invention ; le kit étant composé d'une housse de rangement 1, d'une valise 7 et d'une pompe de voyage.Take the example of a person who wants to carry a duvet (very voluminous textile article) and who has a kit according to the invention; the kit being composed of a storage bag 1, a suitcase 7 and a travel pump.

De façon connue, cette personne plie cette couette, et la glisse dans la housse 1 par l'ouverture 19 située sur l'extrémité supérieure de la première enveloppe 2.In known manner, this person folds this duvet, and slides in the cover 1 through the opening 19 located on the upper end of the first casing 2.

Afin d'isoler hermétiquement la couette située dans la housse 1 du reste de son environnement, la personne va glisser le système de zip 18 jusqu'en position fermée.In order to hermetically isolate the quilt in the cover 1 from the rest of its environment, the person will slide the zip system 18 to the closed position.

Ensuite, la personne va utiliser la valve 17 et la pompe fournie (non représentée) avec le kit afin de créer un quasi-vide à l'intérieur de la première enveloppe 2.Then, the person will use the valve 17 and the pump provided (not shown) with the kit to create a near-vacuum inside the first envelope 2.

Cette extraction de l'air permise par la pompe et la coopération de la valve 17 et du système de zip 18 va entraîner une compression de la couette qui va ainsi voir son volume diminuer pour présenter un minimum d'encombrement.This extraction of air allowed by the pump and the cooperation of the valve 17 and the zip system 18 will cause a compression of the duvet which will see its volume decrease to have a minimum of space.

Obtenir une housse de rangement 1 qui présente une certaine solidité notamment en ses extrémités est un des objectifs de la présente invention.Obtaining a storage bag 1 which has a certain strength including its ends is one of the objectives of the present invention.

A cet effet, la seconde enveloppe 3 présente deux ouvertures 4 et 5 pour permettre l'introduction d'une plaque 6 cartonnée plus ou moins rigide à l'intérieur de celle-ci. D'autres matières pour la conception de cette plaque 6 sont bien entendu envisageables : plaque en plastique rigide ou semi-rigide.For this purpose, the second envelope 3 has two openings 4 and 5 to allow the introduction of a cardboard plate 6 more or less rigid inside thereof. Other materials for the design of this plate 6 are of course conceivable: rigid or semi-rigid plastic plate.

On remarquera sur les figures 2 et 3 que la plaque 6 présente des moyens de pliage 6a, 6b.We will notice on figures 2 and 3 that the plate 6 has folding means 6a, 6b.

Ainsi, lors de la compression de la couette dans la première enveloppe 2, la housse 1 se déforme. La plaque 6 et la seconde enveloppe 3 permettent cette déformation et se plient selon ces moyens 6a, 6b de façon indépendante l'une par rapport à l'autre pour former un parallélépipède de dimensions sensiblement inférieures aux dimensions de la valise 7.Thus, during compression of the duvet in the first envelope 2, the cover 1 is deformed. The plate 6 and the second envelope 3 allow this deformation and fold according to these means 6a, 6b independently of each other to form a parallelepiped of dimensions substantially smaller than the dimensions of the bag 7.

Il est à noter que, grâce à la conception spécifique de la présente invention qui évite toute fixation ou assemblage de la plaque 6 avec la seconde enveloppe 3, les extrémités de la housse 1 sont solides, et ne seront pas arrachées au niveau d'un point de fixation comme on peut le voir dans l'état de la technique.It should be noted that, thanks to the specific design of the present invention which avoids any fixing or assembly of the plate 6 with the second envelope 3, the ends of the cover 1 are solid, and will not be torn off at a fixing point as can be seen in the state of the art.

Par ailleurs, une fois la couette insérée dans la première enveloppe 2, et après avoir commencé à compresser cette première enveloppe 2, il est toujours possible de repositionner convenablement la plaque 6 avant son pliage pour la formation de l'embase parallélépipédique.Moreover, once the quilt is inserted in the first envelope 2, and after having begun to compress this first envelope 2, it is always possible to properly reposition the plate 6 before folding for the formation of the parallelepiped base.

Ainsi, une fois que la housse 1 a pris la forme d'un parallélépipède comme représenté dans les figures 3 et 4, la personne peut placer cette housse 1 dans la valise 7.Thus, once the cover 1 has taken the form of a parallelepiped as represented in the Figures 3 and 4 , the person can place this cover 1 in the suitcase 7.

Comme représenté dans la figure 5, et toujours pour éviter un quelconque arrachage de la housse et pour assurer son maintien en position dans la valise 7, cette valise 7 présente de façon caractéristique des moyens de réception 15 pour recevoir les extrémités angulaires de la plaque 6, puis sceller et stabiliser la housse 1 et son contenu dans la valise 7 ; ses moyens de réception 15 étant situés sur les côtés latéraux des parois verticales 9 à 12.As represented in the figure 5 , and always to avoid any tearing of the cover and to maintain its position in the bag 7, this bag 7 typically has receiving means 15 for receiving the angular ends of the plate 6, then seal and stabilize the cover 1 and its contents in the suitcase 7; its receiving means 15 being located on the lateral sides of the vertical walls 9 to 12.

La housse 1 ainsi calée dans la valise 7, la personne peut rabattre la partie supérieure 13 de la valise 7, puis la fermer par le système 14.The cover 1 and wedged in the bag 7, the person can fold down the upper portion 13 of the bag 7, then close by the system 14.

Pour éviter toute ouverture accidentelle lors du transport ou d'une mauvaise manipulation, il est également préférable d'utiliser un système de sangles 16 qui entoure la valise, et se fixe par un système de fermeture par clip tel que représenté sur la figure 6, ou par velcro® tel que représenté sur la figure 7.To prevent any accidental opening during transport or mishandling, it is also preferable to use a strap system 16 which surrounds the bag, and is fixed by a clip closure system as shown in FIG. figure 6 , or Velcro® as shown on the figure 7 .

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ici, la housse et la valise sont particulièrement adaptées aux différentes contraintes du stockage et/ou du transport de marchandises textiles volumineuses. Il devra cependant être compris que cet exemple de mise en oeuvre décrit ne doit bien évidemment pas revêtir un quelconque caractère limitatif à l'objet de l'invention.In the embodiment described here, the cover and the bag are particularly adapted to the various constraints of storage and / or transport of bulky textile goods. It should be understood, however, that this example of implementation described must obviously not be of any limiting nature to the subject of the invention.
