Description

La présente invention concerne un coffre à linge.The present invention relates to a laundry bin.

Un coffre à linge connu est composé d'un bac, destiné à recevoir du linge sale, et d'un couvercle solidaire du bac, qui s'articule avec un bord supérieur du bac. Un bac à section rectangulaire comprend un fond et quatre faces latérales, dont deux sont larges et deux sont étroites. En fonction de l'agencement de la pièce dans laquelle le coffre à linge est entreposé, le coffre à linge est placé, par exemple contre un mur, en largeur ou en longueur. Cependant, le couvercle d'un bac à linge de l'art antérieur est articulé avec un seul bord du bac, de manière classique un des bords longs, de sorte que lorsque le coffre à linge est placé en largeur, l'accès au bac n'est pas optimisé.A known laundry bin consists of a tray for receiving dirty laundry, and a lid secured to the tray, which is articulated with an upper edge of the tray. A rectangular section tray has a bottom and four side faces, two of which are wide and two are narrow. Depending on the arrangement of the room in which the laundry bin is stored, the laundry bin is placed, for example against a wall, in width or length. However, the lid of a laundry container of the prior art is articulated with a single edge of the tray, conventionally one of the long edges, so that when the laundry bin is placed in width, access to the tray is not optimized.

US-A-2007/187912 divulgue une corbeille à linge montée sur roulettes et équipée d'une poignée télescopique. Le bac de la corbeille à linge est de forme globalement parallélépipédique et comprend un fond, quatre parois latérales et un couvercle monté sur un cadre. Le couvercle est articulé en rotation par rapport au cadre, autour d'un axe parallèle à la paroi latérale arrière du bac. Ainsi, cette corbeille à linge n'est pas prévue pour permettre l'optimisation de l'accès à la corbeille à linge en fonction de l'agencement de la pièce dans laquelle la corbeille à linge est entreposée. US-2007/187912 discloses a laundry bin mounted on wheels and equipped with a telescopic handle. The bin of the laundry bin is generally parallelepipedal in shape and comprises a bottom, four side walls and a lid mounted on a frame. The lid is articulated in rotation relative to the frame, about an axis parallel to the rear side wall of the tray. Thus, this laundry basket is not provided to allow the optimization of access to the laundry basket depending on the arrangement of the room in which the laundry basket is stored.

US-A-5 577 628 divulgue un coffre à linge dont le bac a la géométrie d'un prisme dont la base est en forme de quart de disque. Le bac comprend deux faces latérales planes et une face arrondie. Un couvercle, en forme de quart de disque, est prévu pour obstruer le bac. L'articulation du couvercle avec le bac se fait avec la première ou la seconde face latérale plane du bac. En fonction de l'agencement de la pièce dans laquelle le coffre à linge est entreposé, l'utilisateur choisit d'assembler le couvercle sur la première ou la seconde face latérale du bac, pour optimiser l'accès au bac. Cependant, pour modifier l'articulation du bac, l'utilisateur doit séparer le couvercle du bac puis le mettre en place sur l'autre face latérale, ce qui est relativement fastidieux. De plus, ce coffre à linge est adapté pour être posé dans un angle, non le long d'un mur. US-A-5,577,628 discloses a clothes chest whose tray has the geometry of a prism whose base is shaped quarter disc. The tray has two flat side faces and a rounded face. A quarter-disc-shaped cover is provided to obstruct the bin. The hinge of the lid with the tray is with the first or second flat side of the tray. Depending on the arrangement of the room in which the laundry bin is stored, the user chooses to assemble the cover on the first or second side face of the tray, to optimize access to the tray. However, to change the articulation of the tray, the user must separate the lid of the tray and put it in place on the other side, which is relatively tedious. In addition, this chest is adapted to be placed in an angle, not along a wall.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un coffre à linge dont le couvercle peut s'articuler à la fois avec un bord large et un bord étroit du bac.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy more particularly by providing a clothes chest whose cover can be articulated both with a wide edge and a narrow edge of the tray.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un coffre à linge comprenant :

  • un couvercle,
  • un bac qui comprend un fond et une paroi latérale,
  • un cadre adapté pour être positionné sur une extrémité supérieure du bac opposée au fond, et qui délimite une ouverture.
For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a laundry chest comprising:
  • a lid,
  • a tray that includes a bottom and a side wall,
  • a frame adapted to be positioned on an upper end of the tank opposite the bottom, and which defines an opening.

Le couvercle est adapté pour obstruer l'ouverture et le couvercle est articulé en rotation avec le cadre autour d'un premier axe. Le cadre est articulé en rotation avec la paroi latérale du bac, autour d'un second axe non parallèle au premier axe.The lid is adapted to obstruct the opening and the lid is articulated in rotation with the frame about a first axis. The frame is articulated in rotation with the side wall of the tray, about a second axis not parallel to the first axis.

Grâce à l'invention, le cadre s'articule avec une paroi du bac, tandis que le couvercle s'articule avec le cadre selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'articulation du cadre avec le bac. Ainsi, que l'on choisisse de placer le coffre à linge en largeur ou en longueur, il est possible d'ouvrir le bac dans un sens qui facilite l'accès au bac. De plus, grâce à l'invention, il n'est pas nécessaire de manipuler préalablement le coffre à linge pour changer la disposition de l'articulation du couvercle avec le bac à linge.Thanks to the invention, the frame is articulated with a wall of the tray, while the lid is articulated with the frame in a direction perpendicular to the articulation of the frame with the tray. So, whether one chooses to place the laundry bin in width or length, it is possible to open the bin in a direction that facilitates access to the bin. In addition, thanks to the invention, it is not necessary to manipulate the laundry chest beforehand to change the arrangement of the hinge of the lid with the laundry bin.

Le coffre à linge 1 est en matière plastique mais d'autres matériaux peuvent être utilisés pour la fabrication du bac 2, du cadre 3 et du couvercle 4. Comme expliqué plus en détail par la suite, le cadre 3 est articulé en rotation avec le bac 2, autour d'un axe A3, et le couvercle 4 est articulé en rotation avec le cadre 3 autour d'un axe A4 perpendiculaire à l'axe A3.The Figures 1 to 3 show a laundry bin 1 which comprises a bin 2, a frame 3 and a lid 4. The laundry bin 1 is made of plastic but other materials can be used for the manufacture of the bin 2, the frame 3 and the lid 4. As explained in more detail below, the frame 3 is articulated in rotation with the tray 2, about an axis A3, and the cover 4 is articulated in rotation with the frame 3 about an axis perpendicular to A4 the A3 axis.

Le bac 2 comprend un fond 20 rectangulaire et quatre parois latérales 21, 22, 23 et 24. Les parois latérales 21 et 23 sont plus larges que les parois latérales 22 et 24 et les arêtes de jonction des faces latérales 21 à 24 sont arrondies.The tray 2 comprises a rectangular bottom 20 and four side walls 21, 22, 23 and 24. The side walls 21 and 23 are wider than the side walls 22 and 24 and the joining edges of the side faces 21 to 24 are rounded.

Dans la suite de la description, les termes « supérieur » et « inférieur » sont définis par rapport à l'orientation du coffre à linge 1 aux figures 1 à 3, où le fond 20 du bac 2 est situé en bas et le couvercle 4 est situé en haut.In the remainder of the description, the terms "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the laundry bin 1 to Figures 1 to 3 , where the bottom 20 of the tray 2 is located at the bottom and the lid 4 is located at the top.

Comme le montre la figure 2, l'extrémité supérieure de chaque paroi latérale 21 à 24 est prolongée vers l'extérieur du bac 2 par un rebord 211, 221, 231 et 241. Chaque rebord 211, 221, 231 et 241 comprend, d'une part, une partie supérieure 2111, 2211, 2311 et 2411 reliée à la paroi latérale 21 à 24 correspondante et sensiblement perpendiculaire à cette paroi latérale 21 à 24, et, d'autre part, une partie inférieure 2112, 2212, 2312 et 2412 reliée à la partie supérieure 2111, 2211, 2311 et 2411 et sensiblement parallèle à la paroi latérale 21 à 24 correspondante. Les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 forment un contour rectangulaire qui délimite une ouverture 25 d'accès au volume intérieur du bac 2. Aux figures 1 et 3, les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 sont cachés sous le cadre 3.As shown in figure 2 , the upper end of each side wall 21 to 24 is extended towards the outside of the tray 2 by a flange 211, 221, 231 and 241. Each flange 211, 221, 231 and 241 comprises, on the one hand, a part upper 2111, 2211, 2311 and 2411 connected to the corresponding side wall 21 to 24 and substantially perpendicular to this side wall 21 to 24, and, secondly, a lower portion 2112, 2212, 2312 and 2412 connected to the upper part. 2111, 2211, 2311 and 2411 and substantially parallel to the corresponding side wall 21 to 24. The edges 211, 221, 231 and 241 form a rectangular contour which delimits an opening 25 to access the interior volume of the tray 2. To figures 1 and 3 , the flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241 are hidden under the frame 3.

L'extrémité inférieure de la partie inférieure 2312 du rebord 231 est pourvue de trois pattes 2313 de réception du cadre 3 réparties le long du rebord 231. La figure 4 montre une des pattes 2313. Les pattes 2313 sont centrées sur l'axe A3 qui est parallèle à la face latérale 23 et au rebord 231.The lower end of the lower part 2312 of the flange 231 is provided with three tabs 2313 for receiving the frame 3 distributed along the flange 231. figure 4 shows one of the tabs 2313. The tabs 2313 are centered on the axis A3 which is parallel to the side face 23 and the flange 231.

Le cadre 3 comprend quatre branches 31, 32, 33 et 34 rectilignes qui forment un contour rectangulaire, dont les angles sont arrondis, et qui délimitent le pourtour d'une ouverture 35. La branche 31 est pourvue d'une poignée 30 et les branches 31 et 33 sont plus longues que les branches 32 et 34, dans les mêmes proportions que les parois latérales 21 et 23 par rapport aux parois latérales 22 et 24. La section transversale des branches 31 à 34 est en forme de U, chaque branche 31 à 34 comprenant une partie dorsale supérieure et deux ailes latérales. En particulier, les branches 31 et 33 comprennent chacune une partie dorsale 311 ou 331, une aile latérale interne 312 ou 332, du côté de l'ouverture 35, et une aile latérale externe 313 ou 33. Les parties dorsales 311, 313 et équivalentes des branches 31 à 34 sont coplanaires et les ailes latérales 331, 332 et équivalentes sont perpendiculaires aux parties dorsales 311, 313 et équivalentes. La forme en U des branches 31 à 34 est adaptée pour s'emboiter sur les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 du bac 2, c'est-à-dire que le cadre 3 est adapté pour recouvrir les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241.The frame 3 comprises four rectilinear branches 31, 32, 33 and 34 which form a rectangular contour, whose angles are rounded, and which delimit the periphery of an opening 35. The branch 31 is provided with a handle 30 and the branches 31 and 33 are longer than the branches 32 and 34, in the same proportions as the side walls 21 and 23 relative to the side walls 22 and 24. The cross section of the branches 31 to 34 is U-shaped, each branch 31 at 34 comprising an upper dorsal portion and two lateral wings. In particular, the branches 31 and 33 each comprise a dorsal portion 311 or 331, an inner side wing 312 or 332, on the opening side 35, and an outer lateral wing 313 or 33. The dorsal portions 311, 313 and the like branches 31 to 34 are coplanar and the lateral wings 331, 332 and the like are perpendicular to the dorsal portions 311, 313 and the like. The U-shape of the branches 31 to 34 is adapted to fit on the flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241 of the tray 2, that is to say that the frame 3 is adapted to cover the flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241.

L'aile latérale externe 332 de la branche 32 est terminée par trois bourrelets 334 dont l'un est visible à la figure 4. Les bourrelets 334 sont prévus pour s'emboîter chacun dans une patte 2313. Les pattes 2313 et les bourrelets 334 forment une articulation en rotation, d'axe A3, du cadre 3 avec le bac 2. Ainsi, en soulevant la poignée 30, l'utilisateur fait pivoter le cadre 3 autour de l'axe A3.The external lateral flange 332 of the branch 32 is terminated by three beads 334, one of which is visible at the figure 4 . The beads 334 are provided to fit each into a tab 2313. The tabs 2313 and the beads 334 form a rotational articulation, axis A3, of the frame 3 with the tray 2. Thus, by lifting the handle 30, user rotates the frame 3 about the axis A3.

Le couvercle 4 est une plaque rectangulaire plane dont les angles sont arrondis. Le couvercle 4 comprend une face supérieure 45 plane et une face inférieure 46 plane, tournée vers le bac 2 en configuration fermé du couvercle 4. Le couvercle 4 est délimité par quatre bords 41, 42, 43 et 44. Les bords 41 et 43 sont plus longs que les bords 42 et 44, dans les mêmes proportions que les faces latérales 21 et 23 et que les branches 31 et 33 par rapport aux faces latérales 22 et 24 et aux branches 32 et 34. Le bord 42 est pourvu d'une poignée 40 et la branche 32 du cadre 3 comporte une encoche 320 de réception de la poignée 40.The lid 4 is a flat rectangular plate whose corners are rounded. The lid 4 comprises an upper flat face 45 and a flat lower face 46, facing the tray 2 in the closed configuration of the lid 4. The lid 4 is delimited by four edges 41, 42, 43 and 44. The edges 41 and 43 are longer than the edges 42 and 44, in the same proportions as the lateral faces 21 and 23 and the branches 31 and 33 with respect to the lateral faces 22 and 24 and to the branches 32 and 34. The edge 42 is provided with a handle 40 and the branch 32 of the frame 3 comprises a notch 320 for receiving the handle 40.

Deux éléments d'articulation 47 et 48 identiques sont solidaires de la face inférieure 46. Les éléments d'articulation 47 et 48 sont proches du côté 44 du couvercle 4, et sont situés respectivement contre les bords 41 et 43. Comme le montre la figure 5, l'élément d'articulation 47 comprend un pion 471 relié à la face inférieure 46 au moyen d'un élément d'attache 472 et d'une nervure 473. Le pion 471 est enfilé dans un trou d'axe A4, percé dans l'aile latérale interne 313 de la branche 31 et le pion 48 est enfilé dans un trou d'axe A4, percé dans l'aile latérale interne 333 de la branche 33. De même, l'élément d'articulation 48 comprend un pion 48, visible plus en détail à la figure 4, relié à la face inférieure 46 au moyen d'un élément d'attache 482, perpendiculaire à l'axe A4. Une nervure de renfort 483, perpendiculaire à l'élément d'attache 482, relie l'élément d'attache 482 à la face inférieure 46 du couvercle 4.Two identical hinge elements 47 and 48 are integral with the lower face 46. The hinge elements 47 and 48 are close to the side 44 of the cover 4, and are located respectively against the edges 41 and 43. As shown in FIG. figure 5 , the hinge element 47 comprises a pin 471 connected to the lower face 46 by means of an attachment element 472 and a rib 473. The pin 471 is threaded into a hole of axis A4, pierced in the inner lateral flange 313 of the branch 31 and the pin 48 is threaded into a hole of axis A4, pierced in the inner lateral flange 333 of the branch 33. Similarly, the hinge element 48 comprises a pin 48, visible in more detail at figure 4 connected to the lower face 46 by means of an attachment element 482, perpendicular to the axis A4. A reinforcing rib 483, perpendicular to the fastening element 482, connects the fastening element 482 to the lower face 46 of the cover 4.

Les éléments d'articulation 47 et 48, avec les trous, forment une articulation en rotation, autour de l'axe A4, du couvercle 4 avec le cadre 3. En soulevant la poignée 40, l'utilisateur fait pivoter le couvercle 4 autour de l'axe A4.The hinge elements 47 and 48, with the holes, form a hinge in rotation about the axis A4, the lid 4 with the frame 3. By lifting the handle 40, the user rotates the lid 4 around the axis A4.

Dans une configuration fermée du coffre à linge 1, visible à la figure 1, le cadre 3 est positionné sur une extrémité supérieure E du bac 2 et recouvre les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241. Le couvercle 4 est fermé, c'est-à-dire que le couvercle 4 est aligné avec les parties dorsales 313, 331 et équivalentes du cadre 3 et obstrue l'ouverture 35. Les dimensions du couvercle 4 sont légèrement supérieures aux dimensions de l'ouverture 35, de sorte que dans cette configuration, les bords 41 à 44 du couvercle 4 sont en appui contre les parties dorsales 313, 331 et équivalentes du cadre 3.In a closed configuration of the laundry bin 1, visible at the figure 1 , the frame 3 is positioned on an upper end E of the tray 2 and covers the flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241. The lid 4 is closed, that is to say that the lid 4 is aligned with the dorsal portions 313 , 331 and equivalents of the frame 3 and obstructs the opening 35. The dimensions of the cover 4 are slightly greater than the dimensions of the opening 35, so that in this configuration, the edges 41 to 44 of the cover 4 are supported against the dorsal portions 313, 331 and equivalents of frame 3.

De manière facultative, les parties dorsales 313, 331 et équivalentes comportent un épaulement 36, visible à la figure 4, qui coïncide avec les bords 41 à 44 du couvercle 4 lorsque le couvercle 4 est fermé.Optionally, the dorsal portions 313, 331 and the like comprise a shoulder 36, visible at the figure 4 , which coincides with the edges 41 to 44 of the lid 4 when the lid 4 is closed.

Dans une première configuration d'ouverture du coffre à linge 1, visible à la figure 2, le cadre 3 est positionné sur l'extrémité supérieure du bac 2, et le couvercle 4 est soulevé vers le haut pour permettre l'accès au volume intérieur du bac 2. L'ouverture 35 du cadre 3 communique avec l'extérieur du bac 2 et avec l'ouverture 25 du bac 2. Dans cette configuration, l'accès du bac 2 est optimal lorsque l'utilisateur est placé du côté de la face latérale 22. Cette configuration est avantageuse dans le cas où la face latérale 24 est positionnée contre un mur, ce qui limite l'encombrement du coffre à linge 1 le long du mur, selon la direction de l'axe A4.In a first opening configuration of the clothes chest 1, visible at the figure 2 , the frame 3 is positioned on the upper end of the tray 2, and the lid 4 is lifted upwards to allow access to the interior volume of the tray 2. The opening 35 of the frame 3 communicates with the outside of the tray 2 and with the opening 25 of the tray 2. In this configuration, the access of the tray 2 is optimal when the user is placed on the side of the side face 22. This configuration is advantageous in the case where the side face 24 is positioned against a wall, which limits the size of the laundry bin 1 along the wall, in the direction of the axis A4.

Dans une deuxième configuration d'ouverture du coffre à linge 1, visible à la figure 3, la poignée 40 retient le couvercle 4 au contact du cadre 3 et le couvercle 4 obstrue l'ouverture 35 du cadre 3. Le sous-ensemble formé par le cadre 3 et le couvercle 4 est soulevé vers le haut pour permettre l'accès à l'ouverture 25 du bac 2. Dans cette position, l'accès du bac 2 est optimal lorsque l'utilisateur est placé du côté de la face latérale 21. Cette configuration est avantageuse dans le cas où la face latérale 23 est positionnée contre un mur, par exemple dans une pièce étroite, ce qui limite l'encombrement du coffre à linge 1 selon la direction de l'axe A4.In a second opening configuration of the clothes chest 1, visible at the figure 3 , the handle 40 holds the cover 4 in contact with the frame 3 and the cover 4 obstructs the opening 35 of the frame 3. The subassembly formed by the frame 3 and the cover 4 is lifted upwards to allow access to the opening 25 of the tray 2. In this position, the access tray 2 is optimal when the user is placed on the side of the side face 21. This configuration is advantageous in the case where the side face 23 is positioned against a wall, for example in a narrow room, which limits the size of the laundry bin 1 in the direction of the axis A4.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 3 et 5 deux encoches 51 et 52 sont ménagées dans la partie inférieure 2112 du rebord 211, de part et d'autre de la poignée 30, et l'aile latérale externe 313 de la branche 31 du cadre 3 est pourvue de deux éléments de retenue 53 et 54 prévus pour venir en s'accrocher dans les encoches 51 et 52, lorsque le cadre 3 est positionné sur l'extrémité supérieure E du bac 2. Ainsi, dans la configuration fermée du coffre à linge 1, lorsque l'utilisateur soulève la poignée 40 pour ouvrir le couvercle 4, le cadre 3 reste en place sur le bac 2. De plus, lorsque l'utilisateur soulève la poignée 30, le cadre 3 se déforme élastiquement pour libérer les éléments de retenue 53 et 54 des encoches 51 et 52 et le cadre 3 se soulève.As shown more particularly by figures 3 and 5 two notches 51 and 52 are formed in the lower part 2112 of the flange 211, on either side of the handle 30, and the outer lateral flange 313 of the branch 31 of the frame 3 is provided with two retaining elements 53 and 54 to catch in the notches 51 and 52, when the frame 3 is positioned on the upper end E of the tray 2. Thus, in the closed configuration of the laundry chest 1, when the user lifts the handle 40 to open the lid 4, the frame 3 remains in place on the tray 2. In addition, when the user lifts the handle 30, the frame 3 deforms elastically to release the retaining elements 53 and 54 of the notches 51 and 52 and frame 3 rises.

La poignée 40 est équipée d'un élément de retenue 55, visible à la figure 6, tourné vers le bord 44 du couvercle 4. Une encoche 56 de réception de l'élément de retenue 55 est ménagée dans la branche 32 du rebord. Ainsi, dans la configuration fermée du coffre à linge 1, lorsque l'utilisateur soulève la poignée 30, le couvercle 4 reste avantageusement en place contre le cadre 3. De plus, lorsque l'utilisateur soulève la poignée 40, elle se déforme élastiquement et l'élément de retenue 55 est libéré de l'encoche 56, ce qui permet l'ouverture du couvercle 4.The handle 40 is equipped with a retaining element 55, visible at the figure 6 , turned towards the edge 44 of the cover 4. A notch 56 for receiving the retaining element 55 is formed in the branch 32 of the flange. Thus, in the closed configuration of the laundry bin 1, when the user lifts the handle 30, the lid 4 advantageously remains in place against the frame 3. In addition, when the user raises the handle 40, it deforms elastically and the retaining element 55 is released from the notch 56, which allows the lid 4 to open.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, non représenté, une branche courte 32 ou 34 du cadre 3 est articulée avec le rebord 221 ou 241 du bac 2, et l'articulation du couvercle 4 avec le cadre 3 est selon un axe parallèle aux bords longs 41 et 43 du couvercle 4.In another embodiment of the invention, not shown, a short leg 32 or 34 of the frame 3 is articulated with the flange 221 or 241 of the tray 2, and the hinge of the lid 4 with the frame 3 is along an axis parallel to the long edges 41 and 43 of the cover 4.

En variante non représentée, les bourrelets 334, les pattes 2313 et les pions 47 et 48 sont remplacés par d'autres moyens d'articulation, par exemple une charnière rapportée. Le nombre de pattes 2313 et de bourrelets 334 peut être différent de trois. En particulier, le bac 2 peut comprendre une seule patte 2313 et un seul bourrelet 334 qui s'étendent sur la toute la longueur du rebord 231, voire uniquement sur un tronçon du rebord 231.In variant not shown, the beads 334, tabs 2313 and pins 47 and 48 are replaced by other hinge means, for example an attached hinge. The number of legs 2313 and beads 334 may be different from three. In particular, the tray 2 may comprise a single tab 2313 and a single bead 334 which extend over the entire length of the flange 231, or only on a portion of the flange 231.

En variante, le bac 2 comprend un fond 20 de forme quelconque et une paroi latérale perpendiculaire, voire sensiblement perpendiculaire, au fond 20. La forme du cadre 3 et du couvercle 4 est adaptée à la forme de l'extrémité supérieure E du bac 2. Dans ce cas, les axes A3 et A4 peuvent ne pas être perpendiculaires, dans la mesure où ils ne sont pas parallèles.Alternatively, the tray 2 comprises a bottom 20 of any shape and a side wall perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the bottom 20. The shape of the frame 3 and the lid 4 is adapted to the shape of the upper end E of the tray 2 In this case, the axes A3 and A4 may not be perpendicular to the extent that they are not parallel.

Les modes de réalisation et variantes décrits ci-dessus peuvent être combinés entre eux, partiellement ou totalement, pour donner lieu à d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention.The embodiments and variants described above may be combined with each other, partially or totally, to give rise to other embodiments of the invention.
