Description

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général de la protection d'objets de valeur par aspersion des objets par un liquide entraînant leur altération, voire leur destruction, en cas de tentative de vol de ces derniers. Elle vise plus précisément un container sécurisé (ou coffre) servant à stocker et transporter des objets de valeur disposés en vrac ou dans des sacs.The present invention relates to the general field of the protection of valuables by sprinkling objects with a liquid causing their alteration, or even their destruction, in case of attempted theft of the latter. It is more specifically a secure container (or chest) for storing and transporting valuables arranged in bulk or in bags.

L'invention trouve une application privilégiée mais non limitative dans la protection des billets de banque.The invention finds a preferred but non-limiting application in the protection of bank notes.

De façon connue, le stockage et le transport sécurisé de billets de banque (en vrac ou logés dans des sacs) se fait par l'intermédiaire d'un container (ou coffre) que l'on peut déplacer manuellement. Ce type de container sécurisé comprend le plus souvent une ouverture pratiquée au niveau de son couvercle supérieur, cette ouverture permettant de déposer à l'intérieur du container les billets à transporter.In known manner, the storage and secure transport of banknotes (loose or in bags) is via a container (or chest) that can be moved manually. This type of secure container most often includes an opening made at its top cover, this opening for depositing inside the container tickets to transport.

En cas de tentative de vol ou d'ouverture par effraction du container, il est généralement prévu d'altérer les billets par maculage. A cet effet, un ou plusieurs modules de maculage sont disposés à l'intérieur du container, chacun de ces modules se composant d'une chambre remplie par exemple d'encre et connectée à une rampe d'aspersion, et de moyens pour chasser l'encre de la chambre vers la rampe d'aspersion en cas de fracturation de l'enceinte du container ou suite à une commande à distance.In case of attempted theft or break-in of the container, it is generally expected to alter the tickets by smearing. For this purpose, one or more smearing modules are arranged inside the container, each of these modules consisting of a chamber filled for example with ink and connected to a spray boom, and means for hunting the liner. ink from the chamber to the spray boom in case of fracturing of the enclosure of the container or following a remote control.

Pour une plus grande efficacité, les rampes d'aspersion de ces modules de maculage sont montées verticalement contre les parois latérales du container, chaque rampe comprenant une pluralité d'orifices dirigés vers le centre du container. De la sorte, en cas de tentative de vol ou d'ouverture forcée du container, l'encre est chassée de la chambre et se diffuse par les rampes d'aspersion sur les billets, ce qui les rend inutilisables. On pourra se référer par exemple au document WO 2009/060141 qui décrit une telle enceinte sécurisée.For greater efficiency, the spray ramps of these smudging modules are mounted vertically against the side walls of the container, each ramp comprising a plurality of orifices directed towards the center of the container. In this way, in case of attempted theft or forced opening of the container, the ink is driven from the chamber and diffuses through the spray booms on the notes, rendering them unusable. We can refer for example to the document WO 2009/060141 which describes such a secure enclosure.

Bien qu'efficace, un tel système de maculage n'est pas pleinement satisfait. En particulier, compte tenu du volume interne relativement important du container sécurisé, la présence de rampes d'aspersion montées sur les parois latérales du container n'est pas toujours suffisante pour maculer correctement l'ensemble des billets stockés dans le container.Although effective, such a smearing system is not fully satisfied. In particular, given the relatively large internal volume of the secure container, the presence of spray booms mounted on the side walls of the container is not always sufficient to properly stain all the notes stored in the container.

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

La présente invention a donc pour but principal de pallier de tels inconvénients en proposant un container permettant d'asperger correctement et efficacement la totalité des billets stockés dans le container.The present invention therefore has the main purpose of overcoming such drawbacks by proposing a container for spraying correctly and efficiently all the tickets stored in the container.

Ce but est atteint grâce à un container pour le stockage sécurisé d'objets, comprenant une enceinte destinée à recevoir des objets, ladite enceinte ayant un fond sensiblement horizontal, des parois latérales, une paroi supérieure et des buses d'aspersion de liquide, et au moins une tour d'aspersion disposée à l'intérieur de l'enceinte sans contact avec les parois latérales de l'enceinte et ayant au moins deux buses d'aspersion de liquide dont les axes respectifs sont disposés selon des directions différentes. Ledit container est remarquable en ce que la tour d'aspersion comprend au moins deux branches verticales solidaires entre elles par l'une de leurs arêtes, chaque branche présentant une partie droite et une partie oblique en forme de biseau prolongeant la partie droite jusqu'au sommet de la tour.This object is achieved by means of a container for the secure storage of objects, comprising an enclosure intended to receive objects, said enclosure having a substantially horizontal bottom, side walls, an upper wall and liquid spray nozzles, and at least one spray tower disposed within the enclosure without contact with the side walls of the enclosure and having at least two liquid spray nozzles whose respective axes are arranged in different directions. Said container is remarkable in that the spraying tower comprises at least two vertical branches integral with each other by one of their edges, each branch having a straight portion and an oblique portion in the form of a bevel extending the straight portion to top of the tower.

La présence d'une tour d'aspersion positionnée à l'intérieur de l'enceinte avec des buses d'aspersion disposées de façon à répandre du liquide (par exemple de l'encre) à l'intérieur de l'enceinte selon des directions différentes permet d'assurer un complément d'aspersion des objets à sécuriser (notamment des billets de banque) en cas de tentative de vol ou d'ouverture forcée du container. Il en résulte une plus grande efficacité d'altération de ces objets.The presence of a spray tower positioned inside the enclosure with spray nozzles arranged in such a way as to spread liquid (for example ink) inside the enclosure in different directions makes it possible to ensure additional spraying of the objects to be secured (notably banknotes) in the event of attempted theft or forced opening of the container. This results in greater efficiency of alteration of these objects.

Par ailleurs, la présence de ces parties obliques en forme de biseau prolongeant la partie droite permet d'éviter que des objets à sécuriser introduits par l'ouverture supérieure de l'enceinte ne viennent reposer en équilibre sur ces branches et échappent ainsi à l'aspersion.Moreover, the presence of these oblique portions in the shape of a bevel extending the right part makes it possible to prevent objects to be secured introduced by the upper opening of the enclosure from coming to rest in equilibrium on these branches and thus escape from the aspersion.

Dans ce cas, les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion peuvent être disposées selon des rampes formées au niveau de l'arête libre de la partie droite et au niveau de l'arête libre de la partie oblique des branches. Alternativement, les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion peuvent être disposées selon des rampes formées au niveau de l'arête libre de la partie droite.In this case, the spray nozzles of the spray tower can be arranged along ramps formed at the free edge of the right part and at the free edge of the oblique part of the branches. Alternatively, the spray nozzles of the spray tower may be arranged in ramps formed at the free edge of the right part.

Toujours dans ce cas, la tour d'aspersion peut comprendre trois branches verticales équidistantes formant un Y ou quatre branches verticales équidistantes formant un X.Still in this case, the spray tower may comprise three equidistant vertical branches forming a Y or four equidistant vertical branches forming an X.

Selon une variante de réalisation, les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion sont disposées selon une rampe hélicoïdale.According to an alternative embodiment, the spray nozzles of the spray tower are arranged in a helical ramp.

Les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion peuvent aussi être disposées de sorte à pouvoir répandre du liquide sur 360°.The spray nozzles of the spray tower can also be arranged so that 360 ° liquid can be spilled.

Les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion peuvent s'étendre verticalement sur une distance correspondant au moins à la moitié de la distance séparant le fond de l'enceinte de sa paroi supérieure. Une telle hauteur permet de réduire l'encombrement de la tour d'aspersion au sein de l'enceinte tout en assurant une possibilité d'asperger efficacement les objets à sécuriser.The spray nozzles of the spray tower can extend vertically over a distance corresponding to at least half the distance separating the bottom of the enclosure from its upper wall. Such a height allows to reduce the size of the spray tower within the enclosure while ensuring a possibility of effectively spraying the objects to be secured.

La tour d'aspersion peut s'élever verticalement depuis le fond de l'enceinte vers sa partie supérieure. La tour d'aspersion peut être positionnée sensiblement à équidistance des parois latérales de l'enceinte. Une telle disposition a pour avantage de permettre d'obtenir une bonne homogénéité d'aspersion des objets à sécuriser dans tout le volume interne de l'enceinte.The spraying tower can rise vertically from the bottom of the enclosure to its upper part. The spraying tower may be positioned substantially equidistant from the side walls of the enclosure. Such an arrangement has the advantage of making it possible to obtain good homogeneity of spraying of the objects to be secured throughout the internal volume of the enclosure.

De préférence, l'enceinte comprend des buses d'aspersion disposées selon des rampes montées contre des parois de l'enceinte.Preferably, the enclosure comprises spray nozzles arranged in ramps mounted against walls of the enclosure.

L'une des parois de l'enceinte peut comprendre une ouverture pour l'introduction des objets à l'intérieur de l'enceinte et l'enceinte peut comprendre en outre une paire de roulettes et une poignée la rendant déplaçable manuellement.One of the walls of the enclosure may include an opening for the introduction of objects within the enclosure and the enclosure may further include a pair of wheels and a handle making it movable manually.

Description détaillée de modes de réalisationDetailed description of embodiments

Les figures 1 à 3 représentent un container 10 pour le stockage sécurisé d'objets de valeur selon un premier mode de réalisation.The Figures 1 to 3 represent a container 10 for the secure storage of valuables according to a first embodiment.

Un tel container est parfaitement adapté pour le stockage et le transport sécurisé de billets de banque 12 arrangés sous forme de liasses, ces liasses de billets étant entreposées telles qu'elles dans le container ou conditionnées dans des sacs déposés dans le container.Such a container is perfectly suited for the storage and secure transportation of bank notes 12 arranged in bundles, these bundles of notes being stored as they are in the container or packaged in bags deposited in the container.

De manière générale, le container comprend une enceinte 14 de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique qui se compose d'une paroi inférieure et horizontale formant fond 16, de parois latérales 18 verticales et d'une paroi supérieure et horizontale formant couvercle 20.In general, the container comprises an enclosure 14 of substantially parallelepipedal shape which consists of a bottom and horizontal bottom wall 16, vertical side walls 18 and a top and horizontal cover wall 20.

Les différentes parois de l'enceinte sont réalisées dans des matériaux qui garantissent sa solidité et sa tenue mécanique. Par exemple, ces parois peuvent être réalisées à partir d'une composition de fibres et de résine ou en plastique moulé ou encore en métal.The different walls of the enclosure are made of materials that guarantee its strength and mechanical strength. For example, these walls can be made from a composition of fibers and resin or molded plastic or metal.

Dans le couvercle 20 de l'enceinte est pratiquée une ouverture 22 pour l'introduction des billets. Cette ouverture est avantageusement obturable par une trappe coulissante 24, la fermeture de celle-ci étant également sécurisée.In the cover 20 of the chamber is an opening 22 for the introduction of notes. This opening is advantageously closable by a sliding door 24, the closure thereof being also secured.

Bien entendu, il est possible de positionner l'ouverture de l'enceinte à un autre emplacement que dans son couvercle. Par exemple, cette ouverture pourrait être pratiquée dans l'une des parois latérales de l'enceinte.Of course, it is possible to position the opening of the enclosure to a different location than in its cover. For example, this opening could be made in one of the side walls of the enclosure.

Le container peut être déplacé manuellement au moyen d'une paire de roulettes 26 solidaires du fond 16 de l'enceinte et d'une poignée 28 rétractable dans le couvercle 20 de l'enceinte.The container can be moved manually by means of a pair of rollers 26 integral with the bottom 16 of the enclosure and a retractable handle 28 in the cover 20 of the enclosure.

Par ailleurs, pour rendre inutilisables les billets stockés dans le container en cas de tentative de vol de ces derniers, il est prévu de disposer à l'intérieur de l'enceinte un ou plusieurs modules d'aspersion des billets.Moreover, to make unusable the tickets stored in the container in case of attempted theft of these Last, it is planned to have inside the enclosure one or more modules for spraying the notes.

De façon connue en soi, chaque module d'aspersion comporte une pluralité de buses d'aspersion d'encre 34 alignées selon une rampe 32 et connectées chacune à une chambre (non représentée sur les figures) remplie d'un liquide, par exemple de l'encre de maculage. Des moyens sont également prévus pour chasser ladite encre de la chambre et la diriger sous pression dans la rampe du module d'aspersion en cas de fracturation de l'enceinte du container ou suite à une commande à distance. Par exemple, l'encre peut être chassée de la chambre au moyen d'un piston se déplaçant dans la chambre sous l'effet d'une décharge de flux de gaz déclenchée par un générateur de gaz.In a manner known per se, each spray module comprises a plurality of ink spray nozzles 34 aligned along a ramp 32 and each connected to a chamber (not shown in the figures) filled with a liquid, for example the smudge ink. Means are also provided to drive said ink from the chamber and to direct it under pressure into the boom of the spray module in the event of fracturing of the container enclosure or following a remote control. For example, the ink can be expelled from the chamber by means of a piston moving in the chamber under the effect of a gas flow discharge triggered by a gas generator.

Bien entendu, le liquide utilisé pour rendre inutilisable les billets pourra être de nature différente de l'encre de maculage décrite ici. Ainsi, on pourra utiliser un liquide corrosif, tel que de l'acide par exemple, pour détruire au moins en partie les billets contenus dans le container selon l'invention.Of course, the liquid used to make the notes unusable may be different in nature from the smudge ink described herein. Thus, it will be possible to use a corrosive liquid, such as acid for example, to destroy at least part of the notes contained in the container according to the invention.

Par buse d'aspersion d'encre de maculage, on entendu ici un injecteur d'encre qui est destiné à diffuser de l'encre sous forme d'un jet 34b centré sur un axe 34a de la buse. Par rampe, on entend un alignement d'une pluralité de ces buses d'aspersion d'encre.The ink spray nozzle smudging herein is understood an ink injector which is intended to spread the ink in a jet 34b centered on an axis 34 a of the nozzle. Ramp means an alignment of a plurality of these ink sprays.

On notera que chaque module d'aspersion peut comporter sa propre chambre d'encre ou bien la chambre d'encre peut être commune à l'ensemble des modules d'aspersion, c'est-à-dire être connectée à toutes les rampes des modules d'aspersion.Note that each spray module may have its own ink chamber or the ink chamber may be common to all of the spray modules, that is to say be connected to all the ramps of sprinkler modules.

Les rampes 32 des modules d'aspersion du container sont positionnées contre les parois latérales 18 de l'enceinte du container. Plus précisément, dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, il est prévu quatre rampes, deux étant positionnées contre l'une des parois latérales 18 de l'enceinte et les deux autres étant positionnées contre la paroi latérale opposée. De plus, ces rampes comportent chacune une pluralité de buses d'aspersion qui sont alignées verticalement depuis le fond 16 jusqu'au couvercle 20 de l'enceinte.The ramps 32 of the container spray modules are positioned against the side walls 18 of the enclosure of the container. More precisely, in the example realization of Figures 1 to 3 , there are four ramps, two being positioned against one of the side walls 18 of the enclosure and the other two being positioned against the opposite side wall. In addition, these ramps each comprise a plurality of spray nozzles which are aligned vertically from the bottom 16 to the lid 20 of the enclosure.

Selon l'invention, le container comprend en outre une tour d'aspersion 100 disposée à l'intérieur de l'enceinte sans présenter de contact avec les parois latérales de l'enceinte et comprenant au moins deux buses d'aspersion d'encre dont les axes respectifs sont disposées selon des directions différentes.According to the invention, the container further comprises a spraying tower 100 disposed inside the enclosure without having any contact with the side walls of the enclosure and comprising at least two ink spraying nozzles of which the respective axes are arranged in different directions.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, cette tour d'aspersion est plus précisément positionnée de façon à s'élever verticalement depuis le fond 16 de l'enceinte vers son couvercle 20. Toutefois, il est possible d'imaginer que cette tour soit fixée sur le couvercle de l'enceinte et s'étende verticalement depuis celui-ci en direction du fond de l'enceinte.In the exemplary embodiment of Figures 1 to 3 , this spray tower is more precisely positioned so as to rise vertically from the bottom 16 of the enclosure to its cover 20. However, it is possible to imagine that this tower is fixed on the cover of the enclosure and extends vertically from it towards the bottom of the enclosure.

Par ailleurs, toujours dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, la tour d'aspersion 100 comprend quatre branches verticales 102 équidistantes et solidaires entre elles par une arête commune de sorte à former un X.Moreover, still in the embodiment of the Figures 1 to 3 , the spraying tower 100 comprises four vertical branches 102 equidistant and joined together by a common edge so as to form an X.

Chacune de ces branches se compose d'une partie droite 102a s'étendant verticalement depuis le fond de l'enceinte et d'une partie oblique 102b en forme de biseau prolongeant la partie droite jusqu'au sommet de la tour.Each of these branches comprises a straight portion 102 extending vertically from the bottom of the enclosure and an oblique portion 102b shaped bevel extending the straight portion to the top of the tower.

Compte tenu de la forme biseautée des branches verticales de la tour d'aspersion dans leur partie supérieure, les billets introduits dans l'enceinte du container par l'ouverture 22 de celle-ci ne risquent ainsi pas de rester coincés en équilibre sur le sommet de la tour d'aspersion.Given the beveled shape of the vertical branches of the spraying tower in their upper part, the bills introduced into the enclosure of the container through the opening 22 of the latter are thus not likely to remain stuck in balance on the top of the spraying tower.

La tour d'aspersion 100 comprend en outre un module d'aspersion 104 qui lui est propre. Ce module d'aspersion comprend une chambre remplie d'encre (non représentée) qui est connectée à plusieurs buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 qui sont alignées selon des rampes 108. Des moyens sont aussi prévus pour chasser l'encre de la chambre et la diriger sous pression dans la rampe du module d'aspersion en cas de fracturation de l'enceinte du container ou suite à une commande à distance.The spraying tower 100 further comprises a spraying module 104 which is specific to it. This spray module comprises an ink filled chamber (not shown) which is connected to a plurality of ink spray nozzles 109 which are aligned along ramps 108. Means are also provided for flushing the ink from the chamber and directing it under pressure into the boom of the spray module in the event of fracturing of the enclosure of the container or following a remote control.

Au moins deux des buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 de la tour d'aspersion ont leurs axes respectifs d'aspersion 109a disposés selon des directions différentes de façon à répandre de l'encre à l'intérieur de l'enceinte selon des directions différentes.At least two of ink spray nozzles 109 of the spray tower have their respective axes sprinkler 109 has arranged along different directions so as to spread the ink to the enclosure's interior according to different directions.

Comme indiqué précédemment, ces buses d'aspersion d'encre sont arrangées selon des rampes. Les rampes 108 de buses d'aspersion peuvent ainsi être disposées au niveau de l'arête libre de la partie droite 102a et au niveau de l'arête libre de la partie oblique 102b des branches verticales 102.As indicated above, these ink spray nozzles are arranged in ramps. The ramps 108 of spray nozzles can thus be disposed at the free edge of the straight portion 102 and at the free edge of the slant portion 102 b of the vertical branches 102.

Alternativement, les rampes 108 de la tour d'aspersion peuvent être disposées au niveau d'un creux formé entre deux branches adjacentes de la tour d'aspersion, la présence des branches permettant de créer une distance entre les buses d'aspersion d'encre et les billets pour diffuser de l'encre de manière plus large.Alternatively, the ramps 108 of the spray tower can be arranged at a hollow formed between two adjacent branches of the spray tower, the presence of the branches to create a distance between the ink spray nozzles and the tickets to diffuse ink more broadly.

Bien entendu, on peut imaginer une disposition des rampes à la fois sur les arêtes libres des branches de la tour d'aspersion (parties droites et parties obliques) et dans les creux formés entre ces branches comme représenté sur les figures 1 à 3.Of course, one can imagine an arrangement of the ramps both on the free edges of the branches of the spraying tower (straight parts and oblique parts) and in the hollows formed between these branches as shown in the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 .

Quelle que soit la disposition choisie, ces rampes présentent une pluralité de buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 qui s'étendent verticalement sur toute la hauteur de la tour d'aspersion. Les axes d'aspersion 109a de chaque rampe sont dirigés selon des directions différentes de l'enceinte de façon à couvrir un maximum d'espace autour de la tour d'aspersion, et de préférence sur un espace couvrant 360° autour de la tour d'aspersion.Whatever the arrangement chosen, these ramps have a plurality of ink spray nozzles 109 which extend vertically over the entire height of the spray tower. The spray axes 109a of each ramp are directed in different directions of the enclosure so as to cover a maximum of space around the spray tower, and preferably over an area covering 360 ° around the tower spray.

De façon avantageuse, les branches 102 de la tour d'aspersion 100 s'étendent verticalement sur une hauteur correspondant environ à la moitié de la distance verticale séparant le fond 16 du couvercle 20 de l'enceinte. Une telle hauteur permet de réduire l'encombrement de la tour d'aspersion au sein de l'enceinte tout en assurant une possibilité d'asperger efficacement les billets.Advantageously, the branches 102 of the spray tower 100 extend vertically to a height corresponding to about half the vertical distance separating the bottom 16 of the cover 20 of the enclosure. Such a height reduces the size of the spray tower within the enclosure while ensuring a possibility of effectively spraying the notes.

Quant à la largeur des branches verticales de la tour d'aspersion, on notera qu'elle devra ne pas être trop importante pour réduire au maximum l'encombrement général de la tour par rapport au volume intérieur de l'enceinte restant pour le stockage des billets.As for the width of the vertical branches of the spray tower, it should be noted that it should not be too large to minimize the overall size of the tower relative to the interior volume of the remaining chamber for the storage of tickets.

Par ailleurs, comme représenté sur la figure 3, la tour d'aspersion 100 peut avantageusement être positionnée au niveau du centre du fond 16 de l'enceinte (c'est-à-dire être positionnée sensiblement à équidistance des parois latérales de l'enceinte). Un positionnement central de la tour d'aspersion présente pour avantage d'homogénéiser l'aspersion dans tout le volume à l'intérieur de l'enceinte. Bien entendu, en fonction du centrage de l'ouverture 22 pratiquée dans le couvercle de l'enceinte pour introduire les billets, ce positionnement de la tour d'aspersion pourra être différent.Moreover, as represented on the figure 3 , the spray tower 100 may advantageously be positioned at the center of the bottom 16 of the enclosure (that is to say, be positioned substantially equidistant from the side walls of the enclosure). A central positioning of the spray tower has the advantage of homogenizing the spray throughout the volume inside the enclosure. Of course, depending on the centering of the opening 22 made in the enclosure cover to introduce the notes, this positioning of the spray tower may be different.

En liaison avec les figures 4 à 6, on décrira différentes variantes de réalisation du container selon l'invention.In liaison with Figures 4 to 6 various embodiments of the container according to the invention will be described.

Ainsi, la tour d'aspersion 100a de l'enceinte 10a de la variante de réalisation de la figure 4 se distingue de celle précédemment décrite en ce qu'elle ne comprend que trois branches verticales 102 équidistantes et solidaires entre elles par une arête commune de sorte à former un Y.Thus, the spray tower 100 to the chamber 10a of the alternative embodiment of the figure 4 differs from that previously described in that it only includes three vertical branches 102 equidistant and integral with each other by a common edge so as to form a Y.

Les buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 de cette tour sont disposées de façon à répandre de l'encre à l'intérieur de l'enceinte selon des directions différentes. Elles sont plus précisément disposées au niveau des arêtes libres des parties droites et obliques des branches et au niveau des creux formés entre les branches.The ink sprays 109 of this tower are arranged to spread ink within the enclosure in different directions. They are more precisely arranged at the free edges of the straight and oblique portions of the branches and at the level of the hollows formed between the branches.

De même, la tour d'aspersion 100b de l'enceinte 10b de la variante de réalisation de la figure 5 se distingue des précédentes en ce qu'elle ne comprend que deux branches verticales 102 solidaires entre elles par une arête commune au niveau d'une partie de jonction 110. Ces branches verticales sont ici parallèles l'une à l'autre mais elles pourraient alternativement être disposées dans des plans inclinés.Similarly, the spray tower 100 b of the chamber 10 b of the embodiment of the figure 5 differs from the preceding in that it comprises only two vertical branches 102 integral with each other by a common edge at a junction portion 110. These vertical branches are here parallel to one another but they could alternatively be arranged in inclined planes.

Les buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 de cette tour sont disposées selon des rampes formées au niveau des arêtes libres de chaque branche 102 et deux rampes supplémentaires disposées au niveau de la partie de jonction 110 des branches. Les axes d'aspersion 109a de chacune de ces rampes sont dirigés de façon à répandre de l'encre à l'intérieur de l'enceinte selon des directions différentes.The ink spray nozzles 109 of this tower are arranged in ramps formed at the free edges of each branch 102 and two additional ramps disposed at the junction portion 110 of the branches. The spray axis 109 a of each of these ramps are directed so as to spread the ink within the chamber in different directions.

Enfin, la tour d'aspersion 100c de l'enceinte 10c de la variante de réalisation de la figure 6 se distingue des précédentes en ce qu'elle est dépourvue de branches verticales. En revanche, cette tour présente une forme triangulaire et s'élève verticalement depuis le fond de l'enceinte en direction du couvercle de celle-ci.Finally, the spraying tower 100 c of the enclosure 10 c of the variant embodiment of the figure 6 differs from the previous ones in that it is devoid of vertical branches. However, this tower has a triangular shape and rises vertically from the bottom of the enclosure towards the cover thereof.

Par ailleurs, les buses d'aspersion d'encre 109 de cette tour d'aspersion sont bien disposées selon des rampes verticales formées au niveau de chaque sommet de la tour et des rampes verticales supplémentaires pouvant être disposées au niveau des côtés de la tour entre les sommets de celle-ci. Les axes d'aspersion 109a de chacune de ces rampes sont dirigés de façon à répandre de l'encre à l'intérieur de l'enceinte selon des directions différentes.Furthermore, the ink spray nozzles 109 of this spray tower are well arranged in vertical ramps formed at each top of the tower and additional vertical ramps can be arranged at the sides of the tower between the tops of it. The spray axis 109 a of each of these ramps are directed so as to spread the ink within the chamber in different directions.

Bien entendu, il est possible d'imaginer d'autres variantes de réalisation de la tour d'aspersion selon l'invention. La forme de celle-ci pourrait notamment varier de celles présentées dans les figures 1 à 6. De même, la disposition des rampes d'aspersion pourrait être différente.Of course, it is possible to imagine other variants of embodiment of the spray tower according to the invention. The form of this could vary from those presented in the Figures 1 to 6 . Similarly, the arrangement of the spray booms could be different.

Par exemple, dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, les buses d'aspersion de la tour d'aspersion peuvent être disposées selon une rampe hélicoïdale.For example, in another variant embodiment not shown, the spray nozzles of the spray tower can be arranged in a helical ramp.
