Description

ENSEMBLE DE MALLES DE TRANSPORT EMPILABLES [01] La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des malles ou boîtiers d'appareillage technique et/ou scientifique assurant une fonction de protection pendant le transport ainsi qu'une fonction de support de l'appareillage sur le lieu de mise en œuvre. The present invention relates to the technical field of trunks or cases of technical and / or scientific equipment providing a protection function during transport as well as a support function of the apparatus on the place. implementation.
[02] Dans le domaine ci-dessus, il est connu des malles de transport qui comprennent généralement un corps, en matière plastique ou composite, équipé d'un couvercle amovible. Afin de permettre un assemblage des différentes malles de manière à constituer un rack de support de l'ensemble de l'équipement adapté dans le corps des malles, ces derniers comprennent des systèmes d'assemblage mettant en œuvre des plots mâles coopérant avec des conformations femelles complémentaires, de manière à définir des liaisons réalisées par un emboîtement selon une direction normale aux plots et aux conformations femelles complémentaires et le plus souvent aux faces portant lesdites conformations. [03] De telles malles donnent généralement satisfaction en ce qui concerne leur fonction de transport et de protection d'un équipement électrique ou électronique, mais présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas toujours être facilement assemblables. Par ailleurs, les plots et les conformation femelles complémentaires présentent l'inconvénient d'induire des coûts de fabrication relativement élevés tout en présentant une certaine difficulté d'assemblage dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre d'un nombre important de malles empilées les unes sur les autres ou encore de malles présentant une masse individuelle relativement importante.[02] In the above field, it is known transport trunks which generally comprise a body, plastic or composite, equipped with a removable cover. In order to allow an assembly of the different trunks so as to constitute a support rack of all the adapted equipment in the body of the trunks, the latter comprise assembly systems implementing male studs cooperating with female conformations complementary, so as to define connections made by interlocking in a direction normal to the complementary studs and female conformations and most often faces bearing said conformations. [03] Such trunks generally give satisfaction with regard to their function of transport and protection of electrical or electronic equipment, but have the disadvantage of not always being easily assembled. Furthermore, the complementary studs and female conformation have the disadvantage of inducing relatively high manufacturing costs while having some difficulty of assembly in the context of the implementation of a large number of trunks stacked some on others or trunks with a relatively large individual mass.
[04] II est donc apparu le besoin d'un nouveau de type de malle ou ensemble de malles qui offrent une plus grande facilité d'assemblage notamment dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de malles relativement volumineuses et lourdes.[04] It has therefore appeared the need for a new type of trunk or set of trunks that offer greater ease of assembly especially in the context of the implementation of relatively large and heavy trunks.
[05] Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, l'invention concerne un ensemble d'au moins deux malles de transport empilables, chaque malle présentant un corps de forme générale parallélépipédique qui comprend un fond et quatre parois latérales solidaires du fond et qui est fermé par un couvercle amovible, l'une des parois latérales de chaque malle comprenant des moyens d'emboîtement destinés à coopérer avec les moyens d'emboîtement d'une paroi latérale d'une autre malle sur laquelle elle est empilée. [06] Selon l'invention, les moyens d'emboîtement sont adaptés pour définir, lorsqu'ils coopèrent, une liaison glissière dont la direction de translation est parallèle aux faces latérales portant les moyens d'emboîtement et aux fonds des malles et pour guider la translation des malles l'une sur l'autre, les parois latérales correspondantes étant adaptées pour permettre la coopération des moyens d'emboitement et autoriser cette translation.[05] In order to achieve this objective, the invention relates to a set of at least two stackable transport trunks, each trunk having a generally parallelepiped shaped body which comprises a bottom and four side walls integral with the bottom and which is closed by a removable cover, one of the side walls of each trunk comprising interlocking means for cooperating with the interlocking means of a side wall of another trunk on which it is stacked. [06] According to the invention, the interlocking means are adapted to define, when they cooperate, a slide connection whose direction of translation is parallel to the lateral faces carrying the interlocking means and trunks funds and to guide the translation of the trunks one on the other, the corresponding side walls being adapted to allow the cooperation of the interlocking means and allow this translation.
[07] La mise en œuvre de tels moyens d'emboîtement définissant des liaisons glissières permet de faciliter la mise en place des malles les unes sur les autres, notamment lorsque l'ensemble de malles met en œuvre plus de trois malles. En effet, la liaison glissière définie par des moyens d'emboîtement permet de venir poser une malle supérieure sur une malle inférieure sans que la malle supérieure soit parfaitement alignée sur celle qui la supporte, de sorte que les parois latérales verticales de la malle sont parfaitement dégagées facilitant ainsi la manutention de la malle supérieure. Il est ensuite possible de venir accoler cette malle supérieure à sa voisine en faisant simplement glisser la malle supérieure sur la malle inférieure grâce à la liaison glissière définie par les moyens d'emboîtement selon l'invention. Cette liaison glissière prévient alors les risques de chute de la malle supérieure en guidant parfaitement son mouvement.[07] The implementation of such interlocking means defining slide links facilitates the establishment of the trunks on each other, especially when the set of trunks implements more than three trunks. Indeed, the slide link defined by interlocking means makes it possible to install an upper trunk on a lower trunk without the upper trunk is perfectly aligned on that which supports it, so that the vertical side walls of the trunk are perfectly thus facilitating the handling of the upper trunk. It is then possible to come join this upper trunk to its neighbor simply by sliding the upper trunk on the trunk under the sliding link defined by the interlocking means according to the invention. This slide connection prevents the risk of falling from the upper trunk by guiding its movement perfectly.
[08] Selon l'invention, la liaison glissière peut être définie par des conformations mâles et femelles complémentaires. Toutefois, un tel mode de réalisation n'est toutefois pas strictement nécessaire à l'invention, ainsi, selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens d'emboîtement comprennent, au niveau de chaque face latérale correspondante de chaque malle, au moins deux nervures d'emboîtement aménagées en saillie.[08] According to the invention, the slide connection can be defined by complementary male and female conformations. However, such an embodiment is not however strictly necessary for the invention, thus, according to one embodiment of the invention, the interlocking means comprise, at the level of each corresponding lateral face of each trunk, the minus two interlocking ribs arranged projecting.
[09] La mise en œuvre de telles nervures en tant que moyens d'emboîtement présente l'avantage, d'une part, d'assurer une parfaite protection des faces latérales pourvues des nervures et, d'autre part, de contribuer à la rigidité de ces dernières. De plus, la mise en œuvre pour les moyens d'emboîtement d'éléments saillants par rapport aux surfaces qui les portent, évite tout risque d'encrassement des moyens d'emboîtement tels que ceux qui sont susceptibles d'intervenir dans le cas de conformation en creux ou femelles. [10] Selon l'invention, une seule des parois latérales de chaque malle de l'ensemble peut comprendre des moyens d'emboîtement. Cependant, selon une forme de réalisation visant à permettre des combinaisons variées d'assemblage des différentes malles constitutives de l'ensemble, chaque malle comprend au niveau de ses quatre parois latérales des moyens d'emboîtement comprenant au moins deux nervures d'emboîtement parallèles entre elles, les bords internes en regard de ces nervures sont alors séparés d'une distance, dite écart interne, tandis que les bords externes orientés vers l'extérieur à l'opposé des bords internes sont séparés d'une distance dite écart externe. Selon cette forme de réalisation, pour chaque paire de parois latérales opposées l'écart externe des nervures d'emboîtement d'une paroi est inférieur ou égal à l'écart interne des nervures d'emboîtement de l'autre paroi latérale. [11] Selon une variante de cette forme de réalisation, afin de définir une orientation préférée d'assemblage, chaque malle comprend deux parois latérales consécutives dont les écarts interne et externe sont sensiblement égaux.[09] The implementation of such ribs as interlocking means has the advantage, on the one hand, to ensure perfect protection of the lateral faces provided with the ribs and, on the other hand, to contribute to the rigidity of the latter. In addition, the implementation for the interlocking means of projecting elements relative to the surfaces that carry them, avoids any risk of fouling of the interlocking means such as those that may occur in the case of conformation in hollow or females. [10] According to the invention, only one of the side walls of each trunk of the assembly may comprise interlocking means. However, according to one embodiment for allowing various combinations of assembly of the different trunks constituting the set, each trunk comprises at its four levels. side walls of the interlocking means comprising at least two interlocking ribs parallel to each other, the inner edges facing these ribs are then separated by a distance, called internal distance, while the outer edges facing outwards to the opposite of the inner edges are separated by a distance called external gap. According to this embodiment, for each pair of opposite side walls the outer spacing of the interlocking ribs of one wall is less than or equal to the internal spacing of the interlocking ribs of the other side wall. [11] According to a variant of this embodiment, in order to define a preferred assembly orientation, each trunk comprises two consecutive side walls whose internal and external gaps are substantially equal.
[12] Dans le cadre de cette variante de réalisation, il est alors possible que deux autres parois latérales consécutives présentent des écarts externes différents. [13] Selon l'invention, différentes formes peuvent être envisagées pour les nervures d'emboîtement, ainsi, les nervures d'emboîtement peuvent par exemple présenter une forme générale trapézoïdale ou encore une forme générale rectangulaire.[12] In the context of this embodiment, it is then possible that two other consecutive side walls have different external gaps. [13] According to the invention, different shapes can be envisaged for the interlocking ribs, thus, the interlocking ribs may for example have a generally trapezoidal shape or a generally rectangular shape.
[14] Selon l'invention, un ensemble de malles peut comprendre des malles susceptibles de connaître différentes applications ou mettant en œuvre différentes fonctionnalités.[14] According to the invention, a set of trunks can comprise trunks likely to know different applications or implementing different functionalities.
[15] Ainsi, l'ensemble peut comprendre au moins une malle à tiroir dont le corps comprend au moins une cloison interne qui est perpendiculaire à deux parois latérales opposées et au fond et qui définit au moins un compartiment de réception d'un tiroir, chaque cloison présentant au niveau de son bord libre situé à l'opposé du fond au moins une échancrure en U d'une profondeur supérieure à 10 cm et d'une largeur supérieure à 20 cm et inférieure à la longueur de la cloison interne mesurée parallèlement au fond, chaque tiroir comprenant un dos et à l'opposé du dos une façade qui est en retrait ou au niveau d'un bord longitudinal de l'échancrure lorsque que le dos du tiroir est en contact avec le fond de la malle à tiroir. Ces échancrures offrent alors la possibilité à un utilisateur assis de placer partiellement ses jambes à l'intérieur de la malle à tiroir lorsque cette dernière supporte une malle intégrant un équipement pouvant être utilisé en position assise. [16] Dans le cadre de cette forme de réalisation et selon encore une autre variante, chaque tiroir comprend des moyens de verrouillage du tiroir en une position rétractée, le dos du tiroir étant en contact avec le fond de la malle.[15] Thus, the assembly may comprise at least one drawer trunk whose body comprises at least one internal partition which is perpendicular to two opposite side walls and at the bottom and which defines at least one receiving compartment of a drawer, each partition having at its free edge located opposite the bottom at least one U-shaped notch having a depth greater than 10 cm and a width greater than 20 cm and less than the length of the internal partition measured in parallel at the bottom, each drawer comprising a back and opposite the back a front which is set back or at a longitudinal edge of the notch when the back of the drawer is in contact with the bottom of the trunk drawer . These recesses then offer the opportunity to a seated user to place his legs partially inside the trunk drawer when it supports a trunk incorporating equipment that can be used in a sitting position. [16] In the context of this embodiment and according to yet another variant, each drawer comprises drawer locking means in a retracted position, the back of the drawer being in contact with the bottom of the trunk.
[17] L'ensemble selon l'invention peut également comprendre une malle à bouteille de gaz dont le corps comprend au moins deux cloisons parallèles entre elles et au fond qui sont chacune pourvue d'une fenêtre, les fenêtres des deux cloisons étant alignées selon un axe central Δ incliné par rapport au fond de la malle pour définir un logement de réception d'au moins une bouteille cylindrique de gaz sous pression en position. [18] Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque fenêtre peut présenter une forme elliptique et se trouver équipée à sa périphérie d'au moins trois rouleaux destinés à guider la bouteille lors de sa mise en place. La mise en œuvre d'une telle forme de fenêtre associée à des rouleaux permet d'assurer un calage optimal de chaque bouteille à l'intérieur de la malle. De plus, les rouleaux permettent un parfait guidage de la bouteille, lors de son introduction et de son retrait. [19] Afin d'augmenter l'efficacité du calage de chaque bouteille, le couvercle de la malle à bouteille de gaz pourra également comprendre un ou plusieurs éléments amortisseurs élastiquement déformables situés sensiblement dans l'alignement de l'axe Δ ou des fenêtres et destinés à former un appui pour la tête de la bouteille de gaz lorsque le couvercle est en position sur le corps de la malle à bouteille de gaz. [20] Dans le même esprit, la malle à bouteille de gaz pourra comprendre au niveau de son fond au moins un élément amortisseur élastiquement déformable situé sensiblement dans l'alignement de l'axe Δ et destiné à former un appui pour le fond de la bouteille de gaz. [21] Selon une caractéristique visant à augmenter plus encore l'ergonomie du système transportable mettant en œuvre l'ensemble selon l'invention, une malle peut comprendre une tablette articulée sur une paroi latérale du corps de la malle de manière à être mobile en rotation entre une position repliée dans laquelle elle est parallèle au fond de la malle et une position dépliée dans laquelle elle est parallèle à la paroi latérale qui la porte. [22] Toujours dans cet esprit d'augmentation de l'ergonomie de l'ensemble selon l'invention, au moins une malle de l'ensemble peut comprendre un couvercle équipé, au niveau d'une face inférieure, de pieds rabattables destinés à supporter le couvercle lorsqu'ils sont en positon dépliée. Chaque pied rabattable peut alors posséder une extrémité réglable.[17] The assembly according to the invention may also comprise a gas cylinder trunk whose body comprises at least two partitions parallel to each other and to the bottom which are each provided with a window, the windows of the two partitions being aligned according to a central axis Δ inclined relative to the bottom of the trunk to define a receiving housing of at least one cylindrical cylinder of pressurized gas in position. [18] According to a feature of the invention, each window may have an elliptical shape and be equipped at its periphery with at least three rollers for guiding the bottle during its introduction. The implementation of such a form of window associated with rollers ensures optimum timing of each bottle inside the trunk. In addition, the rollers allow a perfect guiding of the bottle, during its introduction and its withdrawal. [19] In order to increase the effectiveness of the setting of each bottle, the lid of the trunk gas cylinder may also include one or more elastically deformable damping elements located substantially in alignment with the axis Δ or windows and intended to form a support for the head of the gas cylinder when the lid is in position on the body of the trunk gas bottle. [20] In the same spirit, the gas bottle trunk can include at its bottom at least one resiliently deformable damping element located substantially in alignment with the axis Δ and intended to form a support for the bottom of the gas cylinder. [21] According to a feature intended to further increase the ergonomics of the transportable system implementing the assembly according to the invention, a trunk may comprise a hinged shelf on a side wall of the body of the trunk so as to be movable in rotation between a folded position in which it is parallel to the bottom of the trunk and an unfolded position in which it is parallel to the side wall which carries it. [22] Still in this spirit of increasing the ergonomics of the assembly according to the invention, at least one trunk of the assembly may comprise a lid equipped, at a lower face, with folding feet intended for support the lid when in unfolded position. Each folding foot can then have an adjustable end.
[23] La mise en œuvre d'un tel couvercle à pieds intégrés permet également d'augmenter l'ergonomie de l'ensemble selon l'invention. Ainsi, le couvercle posé sur le sol avec les pieds en position dépliés pourra servir de base ou de support au corps constitutif de la malle. A cet effet, le couvercle peut comprendre, au niveau d'une face supérieure des moyens d'emboîtement destinés à coopérer avec les moyens d'emboîtement d'une face latérale du corps correspondant. [24] Dans le même esprit, le couvercle pourra également être utilisé en tant que table. A cet effet, le couvercle peut comprendre au niveau de sa face inférieure des moyens de maintient d'une tablette amovible destinée à être placée sur la face supérieure du couvercle, la tablette comprenant au niveau de sa face inférieure des moyens d'immobilisation destinés à coopérer avec des moyens d'emboîtement de la face supérieure du couvercle de manière à bloquer au moins la translation de la tablette parallèlement à la face supérieure du couvercle et perpendiculairement aux nervures. La mise en œuvre d'une telle tablette amovible permet d'obtenir une surface de travail dont la surface parfaitement plane et propre. De plus, les moyens d'emboîtement aménagés sur la face inférieure de la tablette garantissent une bonne immobilisation de cette dernière sur le couvercle qui la supporte. [25] Selon l'invention, une au moins des malles de l'ensemble peut comprendre des équipements électriques et/ou électroniques et des moyens de raccordement à une source d'énergie électromagnétique. [26] Dans le cadre de cette forme de réalisation, l'invention peut comprendre :[23] The implementation of such a lid with integrated feet also increases the ergonomics of the assembly according to the invention. Thus, the cover placed on the ground with the legs in unfolded position may serve as a base or support to the body of the trunk. For this purpose, the cover may comprise, at an upper face, interlocking means intended to cooperate with the interlocking means of a lateral face of the corresponding body. [24] In the same spirit, the lid can also be used as a table. For this purpose, the lid may comprise at its lower face means for holding a removable shelf intended to be placed on the upper face of the lid, the tablet comprising at its lower face immobilization means for cooperate with interlocking means of the upper face of the lid so as to block at least the translation of the tablet parallel to the upper face of the lid and perpendicular to the ribs. The implementation of such a removable shelf provides a work surface whose surface perfectly flat and clean. In addition, the interlocking means arranged on the underside of the shelf ensure a good immobilization of the latter on the lid that supports it. [25] According to the invention, at least one of the trunks of the assembly may comprise electrical and / or electronic equipment and connection means to a source of electromagnetic energy. [26] In the context of this embodiment, the invention may include:
- une malle d'alimentation qui comprend une unité de régulation et de répartition d'énergie électrique et des moyens de distribution d'énergie électrique raccordés à l'unité de répartition et ;a supply trunk which comprises a unit for regulating and distributing electrical energy and means for distributing electrical energy connected to the distribution unit and;
- une malle comprenant des équipements électriques et/ou électroniques et des moyens de raccordement aux moyens de distribution de la malle d'alimentation.a trunk comprising electrical and / or electronic equipment and means of connection to the distribution means of the trunk.
[27] Les moyens de raccordement et de distribution d'énergie électriques peuvent alors être réalisés de toute façon appropriée, telle que par exemple sous la forme de connecteurs électriques multipoints. [28] Les moyens de raccordement et de distribution peuvent également être réalisés de façon à assurer un transfert d'énergie électrique sans contact. A cet effet, les moyens de raccordement et les moyens de distribution peuvent être adaptés pour assurer le transfert d'énergie électrique par couplage magnétique sans contact, ce qui permet d'éviter les opérations fastidieuses de branchement. Les moyens de transfert d'énergie par couplage magnétique peuvent être également associés à des moyens de communication sans contact entre les différentes malles, soit par ondes hertziennes, soit par la mise en œuvre de moyens de communication à couplage magnétique. Bien entendu, un ensemble de malles, selon l'invention, peut comprendre plusieurs malles d'un même type ou une malle de chacun des types évoqués ci-dessus ou encore des malles d'un seul type.[27] The means of connection and distribution of electrical energy can then be made in any suitable manner, such as for example in the form of multipoint electrical connectors. [28] The connection and distribution means can also be made to ensure a transfer of electrical energy without contact. For this purpose, the connection means and the distribution means may be adapted to ensure the transfer of electrical energy by magnetic coupling without contact, which avoids tedious branching operations. The energy transfer means by magnetic coupling can also be associated with contactless communication means between the different trunks, either by radio waves, or by the implementation of magnetically coupled communication means. Of course, a set of trunks according to the invention may comprise several trunks of the same type or a trunk of each of the types mentioned above or trunks of a single type.
[29] II doit de plus être remarqué que les différentes formes, variantes et caractéristiques de l'invention peuvent être associées les unes aux autres selon diverses combinaisons dans la mesure où elles ne sont pas incompatibles ou exclusives les unes des autres.[29] It should also be noted that the various forms, variants and features of the invention may be associated with each other in various combinations to the extent that they are not incompatible or exclusive of each other.

[31] Un ensemble de malles de transport empilables selon l'invention peut, par exemple, être utilisé pour former après assemblage un laboratoire transportable tel qu'illustré à la figure 1. [32] Un tel laboratoire désigné dans son ensemble par la référence L est, selon l'exemple illustré, formé de quatre malles M empilées et juxtaposées.[31] A set of stackable transport trunks according to the invention may, for example, be used to form after assembly a transportable laboratory as illustrated in Figure 1. [32] Such a laboratory designated as a whole by the reference L is, according to the illustrated example, formed of four trunks M stacked and juxtaposed.
[33] Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 2 à 4, chaque malle M constitutive de l'ensemble L comprend un corps 1 fermé par un couvercle 2 amovible. Le corps 1 présente une forme générale parallélépipédique comprenant un fond 3, bordé par quatre parois latérales 4 et 7 solidaires du fond 3. Les parois 4 à 7 définissent alors à l'opposé du fond 3 une façade en partie au moins ouverte et, selon l'exemple illustré, complètement ouverte qui offre un accès à l'intérieur du corps de la malle et au matériel qu'il est susceptible de contenir. Le couvercle 2 présente également une forme générale parallélépipédique avec un dessus 10 bordé par quatre rebords latéraux 11, dont seulement deux sont visibles à la figure 2. Les rebords 11 sont alors destinés à se trouver dans l'alignement des parois latérales 4 à 7, lorsque le couvercle 2 referme le corps 1. La malle M comprend alors des moyens de fixation 12 du couvercle sur la malle et par exemple, par des systèmes à genouillères 12.[33] As shown more particularly in Figures 2 to 4, each trunk M constituting the assembly L comprises a body 1 closed by a removable cover 2. The body 1 has a parallelepipedal general shape comprising a bottom 3, bordered by four side walls 4 and 7 integral with the bottom 3. The walls 4 to 7 then define opposite the bottom 3 a partly open facade and, according to the illustrated example, completely open, which provides access to the inside of the body of the trunk and the material it is likely to contain. The lid 2 also has a generally parallelepipedal shape with a top 10 bordered by four lateral flanges 11, only two of which are visible in FIG. 2. The flanges 11 are then intended to be in alignment with the side walls 4 to 7, when the cover 2 closes the body 1. The trunk M then comprises fastening means 12 of the cover on the trunk and for example, by toggle systems 12.
[34] Selon l'exemple illustré, les quatre parois latérales 4, 5, 6 et 7 comprennent chacune des moyens d'emboîtement 15 formés par deux nervures 16, 17 qui s'étendent parallèlement au fond 3 sur une grande partie de la longueur latérale correspondante 4. Les nervures 16 et 17, de chaque paroi latérale, sont parallèles entre elles et présentent une forme générale rectangulaire avec des angles arrondis vus en élévation de côté, tel qu'illustré à la figure 4 ou encore en section droite transversale.[34] According to the illustrated example, the four side walls 4, 5, 6 and 7 each comprise interlocking means 15 formed by two ribs 16, 17 which extend parallel to the bottom 3 over a large part of the length 4. The ribs 16 and 17, of each side wall, are parallel to each other and have a general shape. rectangular with rounded corners seen in side elevation, as shown in Figure 4 or in cross section.
[35] Les nervures longitudinales 16 et 17, de chaque face latérale, présentent des bords internes en regard qui sont séparés d'une distance, dite écart interne Ej mesurée perpendiculairement auxdits bord interne, tandis que les bords externes des nervures 16 et 17 orientées vers l'extérieur à l'opposé des bords internes sont séparées d'une distance, dite écart externe, Ee mesurée perpendiculairement auxdits bords externes. [36] Afin de permettre un emboîtement des malles dans une position qui pourrait être dite verticale, une paroi latérale inférieure d'une malle supérieure M4 venant en appui sur une paroi latérale supérieure d'une malle inférieure Mi comme le montre la figure 5, les écarts interne Ej et externe Ee des nervures longitudinales de la paroi latérale inférieure d'une malle supérieure M4 ne présentent pas les mêmes valeurs que les écarts interne Ej, et externe Ee des nervures longitudinales de la paroi latérale supérieure de la malle inférieure Mi. [37] Dans le cas illustré à la figure 4, l'écart externe Eei de la malle inférieure est inférieur ou égal à l'écart interne Ej4 des nervures 16 et 17 de la paroi opposée de la malle supérieure M4. Afin de permettre un emboîtement avec le moins de jeu possible, selon l'exemple illustré, l'écart E1, l'écart externe Ee de la paroi supérieure 4 est sensiblement égal au jeu près à l'écart interne E1 de la paroi inférieure 6. Par ailleurs, selon cet exemple, les écarts interne E1 et externe Ee des parois constitutives 6 et 7 sont sensiblement égaux, tandis que les écarts interne externe des parois constitutives 4 et 5 sont également sensiblement égaux. Cette disposition permet alors de définir une orientation pour l'empilage des malles constitutives de l'ensemble L.[35] The longitudinal ribs 16 and 17, of each lateral face, have internal edges opposite which are separated by a distance, said internal distance Ej measured perpendicularly to said inner edge, while the outer edges of the ribs 16 and 17 oriented outwardly opposite the inner edges are separated by a distance, said external gap, E e measured perpendicular to said outer edges. [36] In order to allow a nesting of the trunks in a position that could be said to be vertical, a lower side wall of an upper trunk M 4 bearing on an upper side wall of a lower trunk Mi as shown in FIG. , the internal gaps Ej and external E e longitudinal ribs of the lower side wall of an upper trunk M 4 do not have the same values as the internal deviations Ej, and external E e longitudinal ribs of the upper side wall of the lower trunk Mi. [37] In the case illustrated in FIG. 4, the external distance E e i of the lower trunk is less than or equal to the internal distance Ej 4 of the ribs 16 and 17 of the opposite wall of the trunk. higher M 4 . In order to allow interlocking with the least possible clearance, according to the illustrated example, the distance E 1 , the external distance E e of the upper wall 4 is substantially equal to the clearance close to the internal distance E 1 of the In addition, according to this example, the internal gaps E 1 and external E e of the constituent walls 6 and 7 are substantially equal, while the external internal gaps of the constituent walls 4 and 5 are also substantially equal. This arrangement then makes it possible to define an orientation for the stacking of the trunks constituting the set L.
[38] Par ailleurs, selon l'exemple illustré, le fonds 3 du corps 1 et le dessus 10 du couvercle 2 présente également des nervures d'emboîtement 18, 19, 20 et 21 respectivement. L'écart externe des nervures du couvercle 2, 20 et 21 étant sensiblement égal au jeu d'emboîtement près, à l'écart interne des nervures 18 et 19 du fond 3 du corps 1. Ainsi, les nervures d'emboîtement 18 à 21 permettent d'empiler de façon stable des malles selon l'invention, les unes sur les autres, lorsqu'elles sont fermées. Les nervures 18 à 21 contribuent également à la rigidité du dessus 10 du couvercle 2 et du fond 3 du corps 1. [39] L'ensemble L, selon l'invention, comprend quatre malles ainsi constituées destinées à être empilées les unes sur les autres, comme le montre la figure 1, leurs façades ouvertes étant toutes orientées verticalement d'un même côté. Selon cet exemple, chacune des malles présente des caractéristiques et des fonctionnalités différentes.[38] Furthermore, according to the illustrated example, the bottom 3 of the body 1 and the top 10 of the lid 2 also has interlocking ribs 18, 19, 20 and 21 respectively. The external gap of the ribs of the cover 2, 20 and 21 is substantially equal to the interlocking play near, the internal distance of the ribs 18 and 19 of the bottom 3 of the body 1. Thus, the interlocking ribs 18 to 21 allow stable stacking trunks according to the invention, one on the other, when closed. The ribs 18 to 21 also contribute to the rigidity of the top 10 of the cover 2 and the bottom 3 of the body 1. [39] The assembly L, according to the invention, comprises four trunks thus formed intended to be stacked on each other. others, as shown in Figure 1, their open facades being all oriented vertically on the same side. According to this example, each of the trunks has different characteristics and functionalities.
[40] Ainsi, la première malle ou malle inférieure gauche Mi est une malle à bouteilles permettant le transport dans des conditions de sécurité adaptée de bouteilles 25 de gaz sous pression. Selon l'exemple illustré, la première malle Mi est destinée à recevoir deux bouteilles de gaz 25 et comprend, à cet effet, deux cloisons 26 et 27 parallèles entre elles et au fond 3 de la malle. Chaque paroi 26, 27 est alors pourvue de deux fenêtres, une pour chaque bouteille 25. Chaque fenêtre 28 d'une paroi est alors sensiblement alignée avec une fenêtre 29 d'une autre paroi, de manière à définir un logement de réception pour une bouteille. Les fenêtres 28 et 29 sont alors alignées selon un axe central Δ incliné par rapport au fond 3 de la malle Mi. L'axe central Δ correspondra alors à l'axe longitudinal de la bouteille lorsque cette dernière est engagée dans les fenêtres 28 et 29 correspondantes. Afin d'assurer une bonne tenue de chaque bouteille 25, les fenêtres présentent une forme sensiblement elliptique et sont chacune équipées au niveau de leur périphérie d'au moins trois rouleaux 30, dont un seul par fenêtre est visible à la figure 6. Les rouleaux 30 sont par exemple réalisés en élastomère et sont disposés sensiblement à 120° les uns des autres au niveau de chaque fenêtre. Les rouleaux 30 sont alors destinés à guider la bouteille correspondante 25, lors de sa mise en place. Afin de contribuer à une parfaite tenue des bouteilles lors de la manutention de la malle Mi, le corps 1 de la malle Mi comprend au niveau de son fond au moins un élément amortisseur 31, tel qu'un bloc en élastomère élastiquement déformable, situé sensiblement dans l'alignement de l'axe Δ pour former un appui pour le fond de la bouteille de gaz correspondante. Dans le même esprit, le couvercle 2 de la malle Mi présente, comme cela est illustré à la figure 7, sur sa face interne, deux éléments amortisseurs 33 élastiquement déformables, chaque élément amortisseur étant destiné à offrir un appui à la tête de la bouteille 25 correspondante, lorsque le couvercle 2 ferme la malle Mi. Il peut être remarqué que, selon l'exemple illustré, le couvercle comprend deux ensembles de deux amortisseurs 33 disposés symétriquement par rapport au centre du dessus 10 du couvercle. Cette disposition de l'invention permet de garantir qu'un élément amortisseur sera toujours placé en relation avec une bouteille quelque soit le sens de montage du couvercle sur le corps de la malle Mi. [41] Selon l'exemple illustré, l'ensemble L comprend également une malle à tiroir M2, correspondant sur la figure 1, à la malle inférieure droite. La malle M2 comprend, selon l'exemple illustré, au niveau de son corps 1, deux cloisons internes 35 qui sont perpendiculaires à deux parois latérales opposées ainsi qu'au fond 3, non visible du corps de la malle M2. Les cloisons 35 sont alors solidaires des parois latérales et du fond correspondant. Selon l'exemple illustré, la malle à tiroirs M2 comprend également une paroi séparatrice interne 36 qui s'étend perpendiculairement aux cloisons internes 35 et au fond de la malle à tiroirs M2. Ainsi, les cloisons internes 35 et la paroi séparatrice 36 définissent à l'intérieur de la malle M2 six compartiments destinés chacun à recevoir un tiroir 37 amovible et mobile en translation. [42] Afin d'offrir un dégagement pour les jambes d'un utilisateur qui souhaiterait travailler assis sur l'appareillage contenu par la malle M3 située au-dessus de la malle M2, les cloisons internes 35 présentent chacune de part et d'autre de la paroi séparatrice 36, une échancrure 38 en « U » présentant une profondeur supérieure à 10 cm et une largeur supérieure à 20 cm. Chaque échancrure en U est alors aménagée pour laisser subsister sur ses bords une partie suffisante de la cloison interne 35 correspondante pour former une glissière de support du tiroir 37 correspondant Afin d'éviter tout mouvement intempestif du tiroir lors du transport de la malle, chacun d'entre eux est équipé d'un système de verrouillage 39 permettant d'immobiliser le tiroir 37 correspondant dans une position rétractée, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 1.[40] Thus, the first trunk or lower left trunk Mi is a trunk bottle for transport under conditions of suitable security 25 pressurized gas cylinders. According to the illustrated example, the first trunk Mi is intended to receive two gas cylinders 25 and comprises, for this purpose, two walls 26 and 27 parallel to each other and to the bottom 3 of the trunk. Each wall 26, 27 is then provided with two windows, one for each bottle 25. Each window 28 of a wall is then substantially aligned with a window 29 of another wall, so as to define a receiving housing for a bottle . The windows 28 and 29 are then aligned along a central axis Δ inclined relative to the bottom 3 of the trunk Mi. The central axis Δ will then correspond to the longitudinal axis of the bottle when the latter is engaged in the windows 28 and 29 corresponding. In order to ensure good hold of each bottle 25, the windows have a substantially elliptical shape and are each equipped at their periphery with at least three rollers 30, only one per window is visible in Figure 6. The rollers 30 are for example made of elastomer and are arranged substantially at 120 ° from each other at each window. The rollers 30 are then intended to guide the corresponding bottle 25 when it is put in place. In order to contribute to a perfect holding of the bottles during the handling of the trunk Mi, the body 1 of the trunk Mi comprises at its bottom at least one damping element 31, such as a block of elastically deformable elastomer, located substantially in the alignment of the axis Δ to form a support for the bottom of the corresponding gas bottle. In the same spirit, the cover 2 of the trunk Mi has, as is illustrated in Figure 7, on its inner face, two damping elements 33 resiliently deformable, each damping element being intended to provide support to the head of the bottle 25, when the lid 2 closes the trunk Mi. It may be noticed that, according to the illustrated example, the lid comprises two sets of two dampers 33 arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the top 10 of the lid. This arrangement of the invention makes it possible to guarantee that a damping element will always be placed in relation to a bottle regardless of the mounting direction of the cover on the body of the trunk Mi. [41] According to the illustrated example, the assembly L also comprises a drawer trunk M 2 , corresponding in Figure 1, to the lower right trunk. The trunk M 2 comprises, according to the illustrated example, at its body 1, two internal partitions 35 which are perpendicular to two opposite side walls and the bottom 3, not visible from the body of the trunk M 2 . The partitions 35 are then integral with the side walls and the corresponding bottom. According to the illustrated example, the drawer trunk M 2 also comprises an inner dividing wall 36 which extends perpendicularly to the internal partitions 35 and the bottom of the drawer trunk M 2 . Thus, the internal partitions 35 and the partition wall 36 define inside the trunk M 2 six compartments each for receiving a drawer 37 removable and movable in translation. [42] In order to provide a clearance for the legs of a user who would like to work sitting on the apparatus contained by the trunk M 3 located above the trunk M 2 , the internal partitions 35 each have parts and d other of the partition wall 36, a U-shaped recess 38 having a depth greater than 10 cm and a width greater than 20 cm. Each U-shaped notch is then arranged to leave on its edges a sufficient portion of the corresponding internal partition 35 to form a support slide of the corresponding drawer 37 In order to prevent any inadvertent movement of the drawer during the transport of the trunk, each of 'between them is equipped with a locking system 39 for immobilizing the corresponding drawer 37 in a retracted position, as illustrated in Figure 1.
[43] La troisième malle M3 constitutive de l'ensemble L, tel qu'illustré à la figure 1 comprend une hotte de travail en atmosphère contrôlée. [44] La quatrième et dernière malle M4 constitue alors une malle d'alimentation comprenant une unité de régulation et de répartition d'énergie 40 réalisée, par exemple, sous la forme d'un onduleur et d'un système comprenant des appareillages de protection contre les surtensions.[43] The third trunk M 3 constituting the assembly L, as illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a controlled atmosphere work hood. [44] The fourth and last trunk M 4 then constitutes a trunk comprising a power regulation and distribution unit 40 made, for example, in the form of an inverter and a system comprising control gear. protection against overvoltage.
[45] Afin d'assurer l'alimentation en énergie de la malle d'alimentation M4 et la distribution de cette énergie auprès de la malle M3, la malle M4 comprend au niveau de l'une de ses parois latérales des moyens de raccordement et de distribution d'énergie réalisé sous la forme de prises 41. La malle M3 comprend également une prise 41 permettant la mise en place d'un cordon de raccordement, non représenté, entre la malle de distribution M4 d'électricité et la malle utilisatrice M3. Il est à noter que les prises 41 sont situées sur les faces supérieures des malles M3, M4 entre leurs nervures d'emboîtement, de manière à assure une fonction de détrompage empêchant tout empilage de malle sur les malles M3 et M4.[45] In order to ensure the supply of power to the supply trunk M 4 and the distribution of this energy to the trunk M 3 , the trunk M 4 comprises at one of its side walls means connection and distribution of energy made in the form of sockets 41. The trunk M 3 also includes a socket 41 allowing the establishment of a connecting cord, not shown, between the distribution trunk M 4 electricity and the trunk M 3 . It should be noted that the jacks 41 are located on the upper faces of the trunks M 3 , M 4 between their interlocking ribs, so as to provide a keying function preventing trunk stacking on trunks M 3 and M 4 .
[46] Le montage du laboratoire L à partir des malles Mi à M4 peut être effectué de la manière suivante. [47] Tout d'abord, les malles inférieures Mi et M2 sont placées de façon juxtaposée de manière à assurer à l'emboîtement de leurs nervures correspondantes. Ensuite, la malle M4 est placée au-dessus de la malle Mi, de manière à procéder également à l'emboîtement des nervures correspondantes des parois latérales en contact. L'assemblage est achevé en venant placer la malle M3 sur le dessus de la malle M2. Compte tenu de la conformation des nervures d'emboîtement, il est possible de placer la malle M3 en appui partiel sur la malle M2, comme le montre la figure 7, puis ensuite, de procéder à une translation de la malle M3 dans de la flèche Fl pour venir la plaquer contre la malle M4. Les nervures d'emboîtement définissent alors de manière fort avantageuse, une glissière favorisant cette opération et réduisant les risques de chute de la malle M3 lors de sa translation. Il doit être remarqué que les parois latérales et notamment leur rebords sont adaptés pour ne pas faire obstacle à cette translation.[46] The assembly of the laboratory L from the trunks Mi to M 4 can be carried out in the following manner. [47] First, the lower trunks Mi and M 2 are placed juxtaposed so as to ensure the interlocking of their corresponding ribs. Then, the trunk M 4 is placed above the trunk Mi, so as to also engage the corresponding ribs of the side walls in contact. The assembly is completed by placing the trunk M 3 on top of the trunk M 2 . Given the conformation of the interlocking ribs, it is possible to place the trunk M 3 partial support on the trunk M 2 , as shown in Figure 7, and then to proceed to a translation of the trunk M 3 in of the arrow Fl to come and press it against the trunk M 4 . The nesting ribs then define very advantageously, a slide promoting this operation and reducing the risk of falling of the trunk M 3 during its translation. It should be noted that the side walls and in particular their edges are adapted to not hinder this translation.
[48] Afin d'offrir des surfaces de travail complémentaires aux utilisateurs du laboratoire résultant de l'empilage des malles Mi à M4, la malle Mi comprend en outre une tablette 45 mobile entre une position repliée, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 1, dans laquelle elle est sensiblement parallèle au fond de la malle correspondante et une position pliée, tel qu'illustré à la figure 9, dans laquelle elle est sensiblement perpendiculaire au fond pour former une surface de travail horizontale. A cet effet, la tablette 45 est équipée au niveau de sa face intérieure d'un pied repliable 46. Par ailleurs, la tablette 45 porte une prise 49 destinée à permettre le branchement d'un appareil électrique ou électronique comme un ordinateur portable. La prise 49 est alimentée par une prise extérieure 41 qui sera raccordée à une prise extérieure 41 de la malle M4 par un cordon non représenté. Il sera remarqué que la prise 41 est située entre les nervures 16 et 17 de la paroi latérale qui la porte de façon à assurer une fonction de détrompage en interdisant que ladite paroi latérale puisse être convenablement accolée à la paroi latérale d'une autre malle. Ainsi les prises extérieures 41 des malles Mi, M4, M3 garantissent que les quatre malles de l'ensemble ne peuvent assemblées que dans la configuration illustrée aux figures 1, 8 et 9, les façades étant toutes orientées sur une même face de l'ensemble avec une orientation verticale convenable. [49] Toujours afin d'offrir des surfaces de travail supplémentaires, les couvercles des malles peuvent en outre comprendre des pieds repliables 47, tels qu'illustrés à la figure 10. Ces pieds 47 sont fixés sur la face interne du dessus 10 de chaque couvercle correspondant et sont destinés à supporter ledit couvercle lorsqu'ils sont placés, en position dépliées dans laquelle ils s'étendent perpendiculairement au-dessus, comme illustré aux figures 12 et 13.[48] In order to provide complementary work surfaces to laboratory users resulting from the stacking of the trunks Mi to M 4 , the trunk Mi further comprises a mobile shelf 45 between a folded position, as illustrated in FIG. 1, in which it is substantially parallel to the bottom of the corresponding trunk and a folded position, as shown in Figure 9, in which it is substantially perpendicular to the bottom to form a horizontal working surface. For this purpose, the tablet 45 is equipped at its inner face with a collapsible foot 46. Furthermore, the tablet 45 carries a plug 49 intended to allow the connection of an electrical or electronic device such as a laptop. The plug 49 is powered by an external socket 41 which will be connected to an outer socket 41 of the trunk M 4 by a cord not shown. It will be noted that the plug 41 is located between the ribs 16 and 17 of the side wall which carries it so as to provide a keying function by prohibiting said side wall can be properly contiguous to the side wall of another trunk. Thus the outer jacks 41 of the trunks Mi, M 4 , M 3 ensure that the four trunks of the assembly can only be assembled in the configuration illustrated in Figures 1, 8 and 9, the facades being all oriented on the same face of the together with a proper vertical orientation. [49] Still in order to provide additional work surfaces, the trunk covers may further include folding legs 47, as illustrated in FIG. 10. These feet 47 are fixed to the inner face of the top 10 of each corresponding lid and are intended for supporting said lid when placed in unfolded position in which they extend perpendicularly above, as shown in Figures 12 and 13.
[50] Dans cette position, le couvercle peut servir de plan de travail et à cet effet, le couvercle comprend, au niveau de la face interne du dessus des moyens 50 de support d'une tablette amovible 51 destiné à être placée sur la face supérieure du couvercle, comme le montre les figures 9 et 10. Selon l'exemple illustré est pliable de manière à pouvoir être, en position repliée, disposée dans le couvercle entre les pieds 47. La tablette amovible 51 est alors pourvue sur sa face interne de moyens d'emboîtement 52 destinés à coopérer avec les nervures d'emboîtement 20, 21 du couvercle de manière à bloquer le mouvement de la [51] tablette, au moins dans une direction perpendiculaire aux nervures 20, 21. De plus, la tablette amovible 51 forme une surface propre adaptée aux travaux fins et/ou nécessitant des conditions de bonne propreté par opposition à la surface extérieure du couvercle 2 qui aura été salie lors du transport de la malle et ne se trouve donc pas adaptée pour ce type de travaux. Il est à noter que le couvercle, sans la tablette 51, peut également servir de support au corps de la malle qui lui correspond.[50] In this position, the cover can serve as a worktop and for this purpose, the cover comprises, at the inner face of the top means 50 for supporting a removable shelf 51 to be placed on the face upper cover, as shown in Figures 9 and 10. According to the illustrated example is foldable so that it can be in the folded position, disposed in the cover between the feet 47. The removable shelf 51 is then provided on its inner face interlocking means 52 intended to cooperate with the engagement ribs 20, 21 of the cover so as to block the movement of the [51] tablet, at least in a direction perpendicular to the ribs 20, 21. In addition, the tablet removable 51 forms a clean surface adapted to fine work and / or requiring conditions of cleanliness as opposed to the outer surface of the cover 2 which has been dirty during the transport of the trunk and is therefore not ada for this type of work. It should be noted that the lid, without the tablet 51, can also serve as a support body of the trunk corresponding thereto.
[52] Bien entendu, diverses autres modifications peuvent être apportées à l'invention dans le cadre des revendications annexées. [52] Of course, various other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
