• the present invention relates to a hinged box preferably bright with movable internal frame.
• This light box is intended to be fixed on a wall, such as a wall or a ceiling. It comprises an inner frame provided with a stretched sheet attached to the base of said inner frame, an envelope intended to be fixed to a wall and comprising an outer frame and a bottom, and a hinge assembly connecting the inner frame and the outer casing. so as to allow a tilting of said inner frame relative to the casing of the box.
• the envelope may be equipped with lighting means and the sheet may be of translucent type.
• the box may further comprise, in a known manner, stiffening elements to reinforce its rigidity.
• the inner frame is pivotally mounted on the casing of the box.
• the present invention aims to provide a solution to achieve easy and safe opening of the box for maintenance operations despite the possible presence of high-rise objects.
• an articulated box, especially for false ceiling comprising:
• Said articulated box is remarkable in that the articulation allows a roto-translational movement of the inner frame, said inner frame can thus rotate and then be translated along the casing or rotate by translating along said casing. This arrangement allows easy access to the entire interior of the box, since the frame, once tilted, can be easily moved from one side to the other of the envelope.
• the box according to the invention comprises two internal frames articulated to the box but also between them, limiting by half the height of the frames in the tilted position.
• FIG. 1 is a vertical section of a hinged box in the closed position, or operating position
• FIG. 2 is a vertical section of an articulated box in the open position, or maintenance position, according to a first opening movement
• FIG. 3 is a vertical section of an articulated box in the open position, or maintenance position, according to a second opening movement
• FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the hinge assembly
• FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of the locking of the box in the closed position
• FIG. 6 is a vertical section of a second variant of the articulated box in the closed position, or operating position
• FIG. 7 is a vertical section of a second variant of the articulated box in the open position, or maintenance position.
• FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show an articulated box 1, according to the invention, comprising a casing 2 intended to receive an internal mobile frame 3.
• the box device is attached to a ceiling.
• the internal frame 3 is, in operation, housed in the casing 2 of the casing 1, as shown in FIG. 1 and is, in particular for maintenance, tilted out of the casing 2, as represented in FIG.
• the envelope 2 is formed of four sides 4, defining a quadrilateral on which is mounted a bottom 5. This envelope 2 is intended to be fixed to a wall, such as a wall or a ceiling as in this example.
• the inner frame 2 is formed of four profiles 6 at the base of which is fixed a stretched web 7. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the inner frame 3 may be equipped with a second stretched sheet 8 located above the first stretched web 7. For example, the first stretched web 7 is translucent and the second stretched web 8 is transparent. The second stretched sheet 8 has the role of protecting the first stretched sheet 7 against dust and insects that could be deposited on it and which would be visible by users.
• the articulated box 1 further comprises stiffening means (not shown) for stiffening the inner frame 3 formed of at least one spar extending between two opposite sections 6 of the inner frame 3 of the articulated box 1 It also comprises lighting means, such as neon tubes 9, advantageously mounted on the bottom 5.
• the inner frame 3 is adapted to tilt by roto-translation about an axis parallel to one of the sides of the articulated box 1.
• Roto-translation is a movement combining a rotation and a translation that can be performed successively or simultaneously.
• At least one hinge 10 connects the inner frame 3 to the casing 2.
• FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of said hinge 10.
• the hinged box 1 comprises two hinges 10, each disposed in the vicinity of one of the upper ends of opposed sections 6 of the internal frame 3 and defining the hinge. axis of rotation of the inner frame 3.
• Each hinge 10 comprises a slide 11 generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation defined by said hinges 10, a hinge assembly 12 secured to the profile 6 and a rolling member 13 allowing the sliding of the assembly hinge 12 along the slide 11.
• the slide 11 is advantageously a light alloy profile such as an aluminum alloy.
• This slide 11 comprises a central portion 111 in the general U-shaped inverted and two flanges 112 coming from the free ends of said central portion 111 and extending perpendicularly and inwardly of said central portion 111.
• the hinge assembly 12 comprises a first flange 121 fixed, for example, by a plurality of screws on the upper face of one of the profiles 6 of the inner frame 3 and, on the other hand, a second flange 122, the first and second flanges 121, 122, which are generally L-shaped, each comprise a first generally vertical wing 1211, 1221 and a second generally horizontal wing 1212, 1222 and are articulated relative to each other at the free end of their first wing 1211, 1221 along a generally horizontal axis, said axis defining the axis of the joint 10
• the rolling member 13 advantageously comprises a first horizontal rod 131 provided with a plurality of rollers 132 capable of rolling inside the slide 11 on the top of the wings 112 and a second vertical rod 133 perpendicularly issuing from the vicinity of the middle the first rod 131 and fixed on the upper face of the second flange 1222 of the second flange 122.
• the articulated box 1 comprises at least one closure 14.
• this closure 14 is preferably of the bolt type, that is to say that it comprises at least one and advantageously two guards 15 each disposed at one of the lower ends of the profile 6 parallel to the axis of rotation of the hinge 10 and located opposite the hinge assemblies 12.
• said pins 15 are each able, on the one hand, to slide along a groove 16 located on all or part of the length of said profile 6 and, secondly, to cooperate with orifices 17 made on two opposite sides 4 when the articulated box 1 is in the operating position.
• the screws 15 are returned by sliding them along the groove 16 so that they do not exceed the size of the internal frame 3 in order to do not hinder the tilting of said inner frame 3.
• the screws 15 In contrast to lock said closure 14 and thus close the hinged box 1, we extract the screws 15 by sliding them along the groove 16 so that they come cooperate with the orifices 17 in order to immobilize the articulated box 1 in the operating position.
• This type of closure 14 does not require a protruding handle or specific tool for its handling, which makes its use simple and enhances the aesthetic appearance of the articulated box 1.
