Description

La présente invention concerne un coffre de rangement.The present invention relates to a storage box.

Un coffre de rangement connu est composé d'un bac, destiné à recevoir des objets, et d'un couvercle. Le bac comprend généralement un fond et une paroi latérale.A known storage chest is composed of a tray for receiving objects and a lid. The bin usually includes a bottom and a side wall.

Certains coffres de rangements comportent un couvercle qui est posé sur le bord supérieur de la paroi latérale du bac et qui ferme le bac. Un tel couvercle n'est pas solidaire du bac, de sorte que, lorsqu'un utilisateur ouvre le coffre, il doit entreposer le couvercle à côté du bac. Ceci n'est pas toujours satisfaisant, par exemple lorsque l'utilisateur ne dispose pas de suffisamment d'espace pour entreposer le couvercle.Some storage boxes have a lid which is placed on the upper edge of the side wall of the tray and which closes the tray. Such a lid is not secured to the tray, so that when a user opens the box, it must store the lid next to the tray. This is not always satisfactory, for example when the user does not have enough space to store the lid.

D'autres coffres de rangement comportent un couvercle qui s'articule avec un bord supérieur du bac. Lorsqu'un utilisateur ouvre le coffre, le couvercle pivote de 180° et se place horizontalement à l'arrière du bac. Le couvercle occupe alors un espace conséquent, ce qui n'est pas satisfaisant lorsque le coffre de rangement est utilisé dans un espace réduit.Other storage boxes have a lid that hinges with an upper edge of the tray. When a user opens the chest, the lid rotates 180 degrees and sits horizontally at the back of the bin. The lid then occupies a large space, which is not satisfactory when the storage box is used in a small space.

Dans d'autres cas, le couvercle pivote jusqu'à se positionner verticalement contre la paroi arrière du bac. Il est alors peu aisé pour l'utilisateur qui se trouve à l'avant du bac d'attraper le couvercle pour le refermer, car le couvercle est difficilement accessible compte tenu de sa position.In other cases, the lid pivots to position vertically against the rear wall of the tray. It is then not easy for the user who is in the front of the tray to catch the lid to close it, because the lid is difficult to access given its position.

US-A-5 065 887 divulgue un coffre de rangement dont la paroi latérale du bac est prolongée par un rebord. Le couvercle comprend une plaque et une paroi périphérique. Lorsque le couvercle est soulevé pour ouvrir le coffre, il pivote jusqu'à atteindre une configuration d'ouverture dans laquelle il se maintient en position ouverte. Dans la configuration d'ouverture, un bord libre de la paroi périphérique du couvercle est en butée contre une face du rebord du bac. L'utilisation de ce coffre de rangement est aisée et pratique, en particulier dans des espaces réduits. US-A-5,065,887 discloses a storage box whose side wall of the tray is extended by a rim. The lid includes a plate and a peripheral wall. When the lid is raised to open the trunk, it pivots until it reaches an open configuration in which it remains in the open position. In the opening configuration, a free edge of the peripheral wall of the lid abuts against one side of the rim of the tray. The use of this storage box is easy and convenient, especially in small spaces.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une alternative au coffre de rangement connu du document US-A-5 065 887 .The purpose of the present invention is to propose an alternative to the storage box known from the document US-A-5,065,887 .

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un coffre de rangement comprenant un couvercle et un bac qui comprend un fond et une paroi latérale dont l'extrémité opposée au fond délimite une ouverture d'accès au volume intérieur du bac. La paroi latérale du bac est prolongée, au niveau de l'ouverture, par un rebord qui est recourbé vers l'extérieur du bac et vers le fond et qui comprend une partie supérieure reliée à la paroi latérale et une partie extérieure reliée à la partie supérieure. Le couvercle comprend une plaque adaptée pour obstruer l'ouverture et une paroi périphérique qui borde la plaque. Le couvercle est articulé en rotation avec le bac et, lorsque le couvercle est soulevé pour ouvrir le coffre, le couvercle pivote jusqu'à atteindre une configuration d'ouverture dans laquelle le couvercle se maintient en position ouverte. Un angle qui est délimité par le fond du bac et la plaque du couvercle et qui est défini entre le fond et le couvercle est strictement supérieur à 90° et strictement inférieur à 180°. Dans la configuration d'ouverture, un bord libre de la paroi périphérique du couvercle est en butée contre un bord libre de la partie extérieure du rebord du bac.To this end, the invention relates to a storage box comprising a lid and a tray which comprises a bottom and a side wall whose end opposite the bottom defines an access opening to the inner volume of the tray. The side wall of the tank is extended, at the opening, by a flange which is bent outwardly of the tank and towards the bottom and which comprises an upper part connected to the side wall and an outer part connected to the part. higher. The lid includes a plate adapted to obstruct the opening and a peripheral wall that borders the plate. The The lid is rotatably articulated with the container and, when the lid is raised to open the container, the lid pivots to an opening configuration in which the lid is held in the open position. An angle which is delimited by the bottom of the tray and the lid plate and which is defined between the bottom and the lid is strictly greater than 90 ° and strictly less than 180 °. In the opening configuration, a free edge of the peripheral wall of the lid abuts against a free edge of the outer portion of the tray rim.

Grâce à l'invention, lorsqu'un utilisateur ouvre le coffre, le couvercle vient se positionner dans une position sensiblement verticale. De cette manière, le coffre ouvert occupe peu d'espace et le couvercle n'a pas besoin d'être entreposé à part puisqu'il est solidaire du coffre. De plus, l'utilisateur peut facilement attraper le couvercle pour le refermer.Thanks to the invention, when a user opens the trunk, the cover is positioned in a substantially vertical position. In this way, the open trunk takes up little space and the lid does not need to be stored separately since it is secured to the trunk. In addition, the user can easily catch the lid to close it.

Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, un tel coffre de rangement peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises dans toute combinaison techniquement admissible :

  • L'angle est compris entre 95° et 120°, de préférence de l'ordre de 100°.
  • Le fond du bac est rectangulaire, le couvercle est rectangulaire et un axe d'articulation du couvercle par rapport au bac est parallèle à un côté du couvercle.
  • L'axe d'articulation est parallèle aux côtés les plus longs du couvercle.
  • Un bord du couvercle est pourvu d'une poignée.
  • Le couvercle est équipé d'au moins un élément de retenue apte, lorsque le coffre est fermé, à s'accrocher dans au moins une encoche ménagée dans le bac et en ce que lorsque l'utilisateur soulève la poignée, l'élément de retenue est libéré de l'encoche.
  • L'élément de retenue est ménagé sur la poignée.
According to advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention, such a storage box may incorporate one or more of the following features, taken in any technically permissible combination:
  • The angle is between 95 ° and 120 °, preferably of the order of 100 °.
  • The bottom of the tray is rectangular, the lid is rectangular and a hinge axis of the lid relative to the tray is parallel to one side of the lid.
  • The hinge pin is parallel to the longer sides of the lid.
  • An edge of the lid is provided with a handle.
  • The cover is equipped with at least one suitable retaining element, when the trunk is closed, to catch in at least one notch formed in the tray and in that when the user raises the handle, the retaining element is released from the notch.
  • The retainer is provided on the handle.

Les figures 1 à 4 montrent un coffre de rangement 1 qui comprend un bac 2 et un couvercle 4. Le coffre de rangement 1 est en matière plastique mais d'autres matériaux peuvent être utilisés pour la fabrication du bac 2 et du couvercle 4. Le couvercle 4 est articulé en rotation avec le bac 2 autour d'un axe A4.The Figures 1 to 4 show a storage box 1 which comprises a tray 2 and a lid 4. The storage box 1 is made of plastic but other materials can be used for the manufacture of the tray 2 and the lid 4. The lid 4 is hinged in rotation with tray 2 around an axis A4.

Le bac 2 comprend un fond 20 globalement rectangulaire et quatre parois latérales 21, 22, 23 et 24. Par globalement rectangulaire, on entend que les coins 20 du fond 20 sont arrondis. 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 generally rectangular bottom 20 and four side walls 21, 22, 23 and 24. By generally rectangular means that the corners 20 of the bottom 20 are rounded. 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 de rangement 1 aux figures 1 à 4, où le fond 20 du bac 2 est situé en bas et le couvercle 4 est situé en haut, du côté d'une extrémité supérieure E des parois latérales 21 à 24 opposée au fond 20.In the following description, the terms "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the storage box 1 to Figures 1 to 4 , where the bottom 20 of the tray 2 is located at the bottom and the lid 4 is located at the top, on the side of an upper end E of the side walls 21 to 24 opposite the bottom 20.

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 recourbé vers l'extérieur du bac 2 et vers le bas. 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 extérieure 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 globalement rectangulaire qui délimite une ouverture 25 d'accès au volume intérieur du bac 2. Par globalement rectangulaire, on entend que les jonctions entre les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 sont arrondies. En d'autres termes, les coins du contour sont arrondis. Aux figures 2 et 3, les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 sont cachés sous le couvercle 4.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 bent outwardly of the tray 2 and downwards. Each flange 211, 221, 231 and 241 comprises, on the one hand, an upper part 2111, 2211, 2311 and 2411 connected to the corresponding lateral wall 21 to 24 and substantially perpendicular to this side wall 21 to 24, and, on the other hand, an outer part 2112, 2212, 2312 and 2412 connected to the upper part 2111, 2211, 2311 and 2411 and substantially parallel to the corresponding lateral wall 21 to 24. FIGS. The flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241 form a generally rectangular contour which delimits an opening 25 for access to the interior volume of the container 2.

L'extrémité inférieure de la partie extérieure 2312 du rebord 231 est pourvue de deux gonds 2313 de réception et d'articulation du couvercle 4, répartis le long du rebord 231. La figure 5 montre un des gonds 2313. Les gonds 2313 sont centrés sur l'axe A4 qui est parallèle à la face latérale 23, au fond 20 et au rebord 231.The lower end of the outer portion 2312 of the flange 231 is provided with two hinges 2313 for receiving and articulating the lid 4, distributed along the flange 231. figure 5 shows one of the hinges 2313. The hinges 2313 are centered on the axis A4 which is parallel to the side face 23, the bottom 20 and the flange 231.

Le couvercle 4 comprend une plaque globalement rectangulaire et plane 400 dont les angles sont arrondis dans les mêmes proportions que les jonctions entre les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 du bac 2.. Les bords de la plaque 400 sont prolongés par des parois latérales périphériques 41, 42, 43 et 44 perpendiculaires à la plaque 400 qui, lorsque le couvercle 4 est fermé, sont tournées vers le bas et recouvrent les rebords 211, 221, 231 et 241 du bac 2. Les parois 41 et 43 sont plus longues que les parois 42 et 44, dans les mêmes proportions que les faces latérales 21 et 23 du bac 2. Les jonctions entre les parois 21 à 24 sont arrondies dans les mêmes proportions que les arêtes de jonction des faces latérales 21 à 24 du bac 2.The cover 4 comprises a generally rectangular and flat plate 400 whose angles are rounded in the same proportions as the junctions between the flanges 211, 221, 231 and 241 of the tray 2. The edges of the plate 400 are extended by side walls. peripherals 41, 42, 43 and 44 perpendicular to the plate 400 which, when the lid 4 is closed, are turned downwards and cover the edges 211, 221, 231 and 241 of the tray 2. The walls 41 and 43 are longer than the walls 42 and 44, in the same proportions as the side faces 21 and 23 of the tray 2. The junctions between the walls 21 to 24 are rounded in the same proportions that the junction edges of the lateral faces 21 to 24 of the tray 2.

La paroi 41 est pourvue d'une poignée 40 qui s'étend le long de la paroi 41 et dont les extrémités sont pourvues d'éléments de retenue en relief 40a et 40b qui font saillie vers le centre du couvercle 4. Le rebord 211 comporte deux encoches 211a et 211b de réception des éléments en relief 40a et 40b. Lorsqu'un utilisateur ferme le couvercle 4, le couvercle 4 se déforme de manière élastique de sorte que les éléments en relief 40a et 40b se bloquent dans les encoches 211a et 211b. Ainsi, si le coffre 1 est retourné ou est posé sur le côté, le couvercle 4 ne peut pas s'ouvrir.The wall 41 is provided with a handle 40 which extends along the wall 41 and whose ends are provided with relief retaining elements 40a and 40b which project towards the center of the cover 4. The rim 211 comprises two notches 211a and 211b for receiving the relief elements 40a and 40b. When a user closes the lid 4, the lid 4 deforms elastically so that the raised elements 40a and 40b lock in the notches 211a and 211b. Thus, if the trunk 1 is turned over or is placed on the side, the cover 4 can not open.

La paroi 43 du couvercle 4 comporte deux pattes 431 dont l'une est visible aux figures 4 et 8. Les gonds 2313 sont prévus pour s'emboîter chacun dans une patte 431. Les pattes 431 et les gonds 2313 forment ensemble une articulation en rotation, d'axe A4, du couvercle 4 avec le bac 2. Ainsi, en soulevant la poignée 40, l'utilisateur fait pivoter le couvercle 4 autour de l'axe A4.The wall 43 of the cover 4 has two tabs 431, one of which is visible at figures 4 and 8 . The hinges 2313 are designed to fit each into a tab 431. The tabs 431 and the hinges 2313 together form an articulation in rotation, of axis A4, of the cover 4 with the tray 2. Thus, by lifting the handle 40, the user rotates the lid 4 about the axis A4.

Dans la configuration fermée du coffre de rangement 1, visible aux figures 2, 3 et 4, le couvercle 4 est fermé. Les dimensions du couvercle 4 sont légèrement supérieures aux dimensions de l'ouverture 25 du bac 2, de sorte que dans cette configuration, les parois 41 à 44 du couvercle 4 sont en appui contre les parties supérieures 2111 et équivalentes des rebords 211 à 241 du couvercle 4.In the closed configuration of the storage box 1, visible at figures 2 , 3 and 4 , the lid 4 is closed. The dimensions of the cover 4 are slightly greater than the dimensions of the opening 25 of the tray 2, so that in this configuration, the walls 41 to 44 of the cover 4 bear against the upper parts 2111 and equivalent of the flanges 211 to 241 of the cover 4.

Pour passer dans la configuration d'ouverture du coffre de rangement 1, visible aux figures 1 et 7, l'utilisateur soulève la poignée 40 pour ouvrir le coffre 1. Le couvercle 4 se déforme élastiquement pour libérer les éléments en relief 40a et 40b des encoches 211a et 211b et le couvercle 4 se soulève en pivotant autour de l'axe A4.To enter the opening configuration of the storage box 1, visible at figures 1 and 7 , the user lifts the handle 40 to open the chest 1. The lid 4 is deformed elastically to release the raised elements 40a and 40b of the notches 211a and 211b and the lid 4 is lifted by pivoting about the axis A4.

Soit α, un angle délimité par le fond 20 du bac 2 et la plaque 400 du couvercle 4. L'angle α est défini entre le fond 20 et le couvercle 4, de sorte que lorsque le couvercle 4 est fermé, l'angle α est nul.Let α, an angle delimited by the bottom 20 of the tank 2 and the plate 400 of the cover 4. The angle α is defined between the bottom 20 and the cover 4, so that when the cover 4 is closed, the angle α is zero.

Lorsque l'utilisateur soulève le couvercle 4 vers le haut pour permettre l'accès au volume intérieur du bac 2, l'angle α augmente. L'angle α atteint 90° lorsque le couvercle 4 est à la verticale. Lorsque l'utilisateur continue de faire pivoter le couvercle 4, le bord libre inférieur 4311 de la paroi 43 du couvercle 4, opposé à la plaque 400, bute contre le bord inférieur libre 2312a de la partie extérieure 2312 du rebord 231, de sorte que le couvercle 4 ne peut pas continuer de pivoter. Dans le plan de coupe des figures 7 et 8, compte tenu de la forme arrondie des coins du couvercle 4, le bord libre 4311 de la paroi périphérique 41 à 44 du couvercle 4 n'est pas en butée contre le bord libre 2312a de la partie extérieure 2312 du rebord 231 du bac 2. En effet, le bord libre 4311 du couvercle 4 est positionné en dessous du bord libre 2312a du bac 2 et un espace libre est ménagé entre les bords libres 4311 et 2312a dans ce plan de coupe.When the user raises the cover 4 upwards to allow access to the interior volume of the tray 2, the angle α increases. The angle α reaches 90 ° when the lid 4 is vertical. When the user continues to rotate the lid 4, the lower free edge 4311 of the wall 43 of the lid 4, opposite the plate 400, abuts against the free lower edge 2312a of the outer portion 2312 of the flange 231, so that the cover 4 can not continue to rotate. In the cutting plane of the Figures 7 and 8 , taking into account the rounded shape of the corners of the cover 4, the free edge 4311 of the peripheral wall 41 to 44 of the cover 4 is not in abutment against the free edge 2312a of the part 2312 exterior of the rim 231 of the tray 2. Indeed, the free edge 4311 of the cover 4 is positioned below the free edge 2312a of the tray 2 and a free space is formed between the free edges 4311 and 2312a in this section plane.

Les bords 4311 et 2312a sont en butée l'un contre l'autre au niveau des jonctions arrondies entre les faces latérales du bac 2 situées le long de l'axe A4, à savoir entre les faces latérales 22 et 23 d'une part, et 23 et 24 d'autre part. Lorsque le couvercle 4 bute ainsi contre le bac 2, l'angle α est égal à une valeur maximale αmax égale à environ 115°. En pratique, l'angle αmax est strictement supérieur à 90°, et strictement inférieur à 180°. De préférence, l'angle αmax est compris entre 95° et 120°, de préférence encore de l'ordre de 100°.The edges 4311 and 2312a abut one against the other at the level of the rounded junctions between the lateral faces of the tray 2 situated along the axis A4, namely between the lateral faces 22 and 23 on the one hand, and 23 and 24 on the other hand. When the cover 4 abuts against the tray 2, the angle α is equal to a maximum value α max equal to about 115 °. In practice, the angle α max is strictly greater than 90 °, and strictly less than 180 °. Preferably, the angle α max is between 95 ° and 120 °, more preferably of the order of 100 °.

Lorsque le coffre 1 est dans la configuration d'ouverture, l'opérateur n'a pas besoin d'intervenir pour que le couvercle 4 reste dans la configuration d'ouverture, grâce au contact entre le bord libre 4311 du couvercle 4 avec le bord libre 2312a du bac 2. De cette manière, le coffre 1 peut être utilisé dans un environnement où il n'est pas souhaitable de poser le couvercle 4 à distance du bac 2, par exemple si l'environnement n'offre pas d'espace libre disponible.When the trunk 1 is in the opening configuration, the operator does not need to intervene so that the cover 4 remains in the opening configuration, thanks to the contact between the free edge 4311 of the cover 4 with the edge In this way, the box 1 can be used in an environment where it is undesirable to place the lid 4 away from the tray 2, for example if the environment does not provide space. free available.

De plus, Lorsque le coffre 1 est dans la configuration d'ouverture, l'espace occupé par le coffre 1 est réduit grâce à la position quasiment verticale du couvercle 4. En particulier, l'utilisateur peut circuler à l'arrière du coffre 1, le long de la face latérale 23 du bac 2, sans être gêné par le couvercle 4, ce qui est particulièrement avantageux lorsque le coffre 1 est utilisé dans un espace réduit.In addition, when the trunk 1 is in the opening configuration, the space occupied by the trunk 1 is reduced thanks to the almost vertical position of the cover 4. In particular, the user can circulate at the rear of the trunk 1 , along the side face 23 of the tray 2, without being obstructed by the cover 4, which is particularly advantageous when the box 1 is used in a small space.

En variante non représentée, les gonds 2313, et les pattes 431 sont remplacés par d'autres moyens d'articulation, par exemple une charnière rapportée. Le nombre de pattes 2313 et de gonds 431 peut être différent de deux. En particulier, le coffre 1 peut comprendre un seul gond 431 et une seule patte 2313 qui s'étendent sur la toute la longueur du rebord 231, voire uniquement sur un tronçon du rebord 231.In variant not shown, the hinges 2313, and the tabs 431 are replaced by other hinge means, for example an attached hinge. The number of legs 2313 and hinges 431 can be different from two. In particular, the trunk 1 may comprise a single hinge 431 and a single lug 2313 which extend over the entire length of the flange 231, or even only on a portion of the flange 231.

En variante non représentée, le bac 2 comprend un fond 20 de forme quelconque et une paroi latérale perpendiculaire, voire sensiblement perpendiculaire, au fond 20 qui est reliée aux bords du fond 20. La forme du couvercle 4 est alors adaptée à la forme de l'extrémité supérieure du bac 2. Par exemple, le fond 20 et le couvercle 4 peuvent être circulaires ou polygonaux.In variant not shown, the tray 2 comprises a bottom 20 of any shape and a side wall perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the bottom 20 which is connected to the edges of the bottom 20. The shape of the cover 4 is then adapted to the shape of the For example, the bottom 20 and the cover 4 may be circular or polygonal.
