Abstract

The bin (10) has a tank (11), side faces (12A-12C) forming a peripheral wall (17), a bottom wall (14), and a connection region (16) for connecting the side faces. Another connection region (22) connects the side faces and the bottom wall. A rib is provided in the bottom wall for resting the bin on the ground in a normal waiting position. The peripheral wall forms a downward extension (34) only to the right and in the vicinity of overlapping regions (32) of the connection regions, so as to be supported on the ground when the bin is in the normal waiting position.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des bacs pour la collecte de déchets, du type comportant deux roues permettant de le déplacer.The present invention relates to the technical field of bins for the collection of waste, the type comprising two wheels for moving it.

On connaît déjà un tel bac pour la collecte de déchets qui comporte une cuve comprenant des parois latérales, une paroi inférieure et deux roues en bas d'une des parois latérales. Ce bac est généralement fabriqué en matière plastique, notamment en polypropylène. Une nervure de renfort, ménagée sous la cuve à la périphérie de la paroi inférieure, permet d'augmenter la résistance mécanique dans la partie basse de la cuve, c'est-à-dire dans sa partie en contact avec le sol et constitue un appui qui stabilise la cuve lorsqu'elle repose sur le sol, par ses roues et par ladite nervure.There is already known such a bin for waste collection which comprises a vessel comprising side walls, a bottom wall and two wheels at the bottom of one of the side walls. This tray is generally made of plastic, including polypropylene. A reinforcing rib, formed under the tank at the periphery of the bottom wall, makes it possible to increase the mechanical strength in the lower part of the tank, that is to say in its part in contact with the ground and constitutes a support that stabilizes the tank when it rests on the ground, by its wheels and by said rib.

Ces bacs sont généralement adaptés pour pouvoir être encastrés les uns dans les autres, ce qui réduit leur encombrement et permet de les empiler afin de les stocker ou de les transporter. Ainsi, les bacs de l'art antérieur peuvent être facilement gerbés en position verticale de manière à former une pile comportant un nombre de bacs prédéterminé, ce nombre étant limité par la résistance mécanique de la nervure de renfort et par l'épaisseur de la paroi inférieure située sous la cuve. Les inventeurs ont observé que lorsque cette pile excède un nombre de bacs déterminé, peut apparaître une fragilisation de la paroi inférieure du bac du dessous de la pile ou même une fissuration de la nervure de renfort de ce bac.These bins are generally adapted to be recessed into each other, which reduces their size and allows them to stack for storing or transporting. Thus, the tanks of the prior art can be easily stacked in a vertical position so as to form a stack having a predetermined number of tanks, this number being limited by the strength of the reinforcing rib and the wall thickness. bottom under the tank. The inventors have observed that when this stack exceeds a number of tanks determined, may appear a weakening of the bottom wall of the tray from below the pile or even cracking of the reinforcing rib of this tray.

De plus, pour alléger le poids des bacs et économiser de la matière, la tendance est à l'amincissement des parois des bacs, ce qui réduit la résistance mécanique de la paroi inférieure, tandis que les nervures conservent une certaine épaisseur pour pouvoir remplir leurs fonctions.In addition, to reduce the weight of the bins and save material, the trend is to thin the walls of the tanks, which reduces the mechanical strength of the lower wall, while the ribs retain a certain thickness to be able to fill their walls. functions.

De ce fait, lorsque de trop nombreux bacs sont empilés les uns sur les autres et que leur poids est important, la nervure située sous la cuve du bac a tendance à flamber sous le poids de la pile, et donc la paroi inférieure du bac, qui est relativement fine par rapport à la nervure, se fissure dans l'angle formé entre la paroi inférieure du bac et cette nervure de renfort.Therefore, when too many bins are stacked on each other and their weight is important, the rib below the tank trough tends to flare up under the weight of the battery, and therefore the bottom wall of the tray, which is relatively thin with respect to the rib, is cracked in the angle formed between the lower wall of the tank and this reinforcing rib.

Ainsi, la capacité d'empilement des bacs les uns sur les autres est réduite et il n'est pas rare que le bac du bas de la pile vienne à être endommagé par l'empilement d'un nombre trop important de bacs, ce qui génère un taux de rebut important.Thus, the stacking capacity of the bins on each other is reduced and it is not uncommon for the bottom tray of the stack to be damaged by stacking too many bins, which generates a high scrap rate.

A cause de ce risque d'endommagement du bac du dessous de la pile, on ne peut pas empiler plus d'un certain nombre de bacs, ce qui oblige, pour le stockage, à utiliser une surface plus grande. Pour ce qui concerne le transport des bacs, il est également nécessaire d'utiliser des moyens de transport plus importants, ce qui a un impact négatif sur l'environnement et sur le coût du transport de ces bacs.Because of this risk of damage to the tray from the bottom of the stack, we can not stack more than a number of tanks, which requires, for storage, to use a larger area. With regard to the transport of bins, it is also necessary to use larger means of transport, which has a negative impact on the environment and the cost of transporting these bins.

Par ailleurs, la destruction de la nervure de renfort du bac du dessous génère une certaine instabilité de la pile de bacs et cette instabilité peut causer la chute de la pile sur le sol, ou pire, sur des personnes.Moreover, the destruction of the reinforcing rib of the bottom tray generates a certain instability of the stack of tanks and this instability can cause the pile to fall on the ground, or worse, on people.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de proposer un bac dont la capacité d'empilement est plus grande et dont la stabilité est améliorée lorsque des bacs sont empilés.The present invention is intended in particular to provide a tray whose stacking capacity is greater and whose stability is improved when trays are stacked.

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un bac pour la collecte des déchets, comprenant une cuve comportant des faces latérales qui forment une paroi périphérique, une paroi inférieure, des premières zones de raccordement des faces latérales entre elles, des deuxièmes zones de raccordement entre les faces latérales et la paroi inférieure, des zones de chevauchement des premières et deuxièmes zones de raccordement, au moins une nervure sous la paroi inférieure, nervure par laquelle le bac repose sur le sol en position normale d'attente, caractérisé en ce que la paroi périphérique forme au moins un prolongement vers le bas uniquement au droit et au voisinage des zones de chevauchement des premières et deuxièmes zones de raccordement de manière à être en appui sur le sol lorsque le bac repose en position normale d'attente.To this end, the subject of the invention is a bin for the collection of waste, comprising a vessel having lateral faces which form a peripheral wall, a bottom wall, first zones for connecting the lateral faces to one another, second zones for connection between the side faces and the bottom wall, overlapping areas of the first and second connection areas, at least one rib under the bottom wall, rib by which the tray rests on the ground in normal waiting position, characterized in that that the peripheral wall forms at least one extension downwardly only to the right and in the vicinity of the overlapping areas of the first and second connection areas so as to rest on the ground when the tray rests in the normal standby position.

Avantageusement, ladite au moins une nervure du bac se raccorde directement audit au moins un prolongement vers le bas. Ainsi, on créé une nervure qui est solidaire des prolongements et qui permet de rigidifier l'ensemble de la partie basse du bac de manière efficace.Advantageously, said at least one rib of the tray is connected directly to said at least one extension downwards. Thus, a rib is created which is integral with the extensions and which makes it possible to stiffen the entire lower part of the tray efficiently.

Avantageusement, au moins un prolongement vers le bas comporte une section selon un plan sensiblement parallèle au fond de la cuve, ladite section est courbe et dépourvue d'angle. Ainsi, le fait que le prolongement vers le bas ne comporte pas d'angle et que sa section est courbe évite l'apparition de concentrations de contraintes sur le prolongement vers le bas, notamment dans le cas d'une cuve qui serait au bas d'une pile de cuves.Advantageously, at least one downward extension comprises a section in a plane substantially parallel to the bottom of the tank, said section is curved and devoid of angle. Thus, the fact that the downward extension does not have an angle and that its section is curved avoids the appearance of stress concentrations on the downward extension, particularly in the case of a tank which would be at the bottom. a pile of vats.

Avantageusement, le au moins un prolongement vers le bas a une hauteur telle que son sommet est au même niveau que le sommet de la au moins une nervure. Dans la suite de la description, on désigne par « sommet » l'extrémité inférieure du prolongement vers le bas, par analogie avec les sommets des nervures.Advantageously, the at least one downward extension has a height such that its vertex is at the same level as the top of the at least one rib. In the remainder of the description, the term "vertex" designates the lower end of the extension downwards, by analogy with the vertices of the ribs.

On entend par « sol » un plan sensiblement horizontal et on entend par « position normale d'attente », une position verticale du bac qui a le haut de sa cuve orienté vers le haut et dans laquelle la paroi inférieure du bac est sensiblement parallèle au sol.The term "floor" means a substantially horizontal plane and "normal waiting position" means a vertical position of the tank which has the top of its tank facing upwards and in which the bottom wall of the tank is substantially parallel to the ground.

Avantageusement, le voisinage est limité à une distance de 50 millimètres des zones de chevauchement et de préférence de 0,5 millimètres.Advantageously, the neighborhood is limited to a distance of 50 millimeters from the overlapping zones and preferably 0.5 millimeters.

Avantageusement, la paroi périphérique du bac comporte une partie adjacente à la paroi inférieure engendrée par une génératrice rectiligne, et la distance entre le prolongement vers le bas et la génératrice est inférieure à 60 mm, tandis que l'épaisseur d'une nervure est comprise entre 1,5 mm et 5 mm.Advantageously, the peripheral wall of the tray has a portion adjacent to the bottom wall generated by a rectilinear generatrix, and the distance between the downward extension and the generatrix is less than 60 mm, while the thickness of a rib is included between 1.5 mm and 5 mm.

On entend par « nervure », une cloison pleine ayant deux faces opposées la délimitant et se rejoignant le long d'un bord libre de la cloison.The term "rib" means a solid partition having two opposite faces delimiting and joining along a free edge of the partition.

Avantageusement, ladite au moins une nervure du bac appartient à la deuxième zone de raccordement.Advantageously, said at least one rib of the tank belongs to the second connection zone.

Avantageusement, ladite au moins une nervure du bac est agencée sous la paroi inférieure, en retrait par rapport à la deuxième zone.Advantageously, said at least one rib of the tray is arranged under the lower wall, set back relative to the second zone.

Avantageusement, ladite au moins une nervure se raccorde directement audit au moins un prolongement vers le bas, ladite au moins une nervure s'étendant vers le bas selon un plan sensiblement parallèle à la paroi périphérique et ledit plan étant éloigné d'une distance d'au moins 5 mm, et de préférence d'au moins 15 mm d'une génératrice située au bas de la paroi périphérique. Ainsi, il résulte un avantage esthétique d'une telle configuration car le bas de la nervure qui est en contact avec le sol, et qui donc présente un aspect usé voire abîmé par son utilisation, n'est pas visible par une personne qui se tiendrait debout près du bac.Advantageously, said at least one rib is connected directly to said at least one downward extension, said at least one rib extending downwards in a plane substantially parallel to the peripheral wall and said plane being distant from a distance of at least 5 mm, and preferably at least 15 mm from a generatrix located at the bottom of the peripheral wall. Thus, it results an aesthetic advantage of such a configuration because the bottom of the rib which is in contact with the ground, and which therefore has a worn appearance or damaged by its use, is not visible by a person who would stand standing near the ferry.

Avantageusement, l'épaisseur des faces latérales du bac et de la paroi inférieure sont inférieures à 5 millimètres, et de préférence inférieure à 3,5 mmAdvantageously, the thickness of the lateral faces of the tray and the bottom wall are less than 5 millimeters, and preferably less than 3.5 mm.

Ainsi, une épaisseur mince permet d'économiser de la matière plastique sur les bacs, tout en conservant une bonne résistance de la partie inférieure du bac.Thus, a thin thickness saves plastic on the bins, while maintaining good strength of the lower part of the tray.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue partielle en perspective de la partie basse d'un bac selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessous du bac de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une section selon III-III prise sur la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 2 montrant un bac selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a partial perspective view of the lower part of a tray according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a bottom view of the ferry from the figure 1 ;
  • the figure 3 is a section according to III-III taken on the figure 1 ;
  • the figure 4 is a view similar to that of the figure 2 showing a tray according to another embodiment of the invention.

Sur la figure 1, on voit le bas d'un bac 10 dont la forme générale est sensiblement parallélépipédique mais évasée vers le haut. Ce bac comporte une cuve 11 formée par des faces latérales 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, désignée dans la suite face avant 12B, face arrière 12D, face latérale gauche 12C et face latérale droite 12A, reliées entre elles par des arrêtes arrondies 16, et par une paroi inférieure 14 dont la forme correspond sensiblement à celle d'un carré dont les coins 15 sont arrondis. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les arrêtes arrondies 16, dites premières zones de raccordement 16, forment des portions de troncs de cônes qui dépassent de la forme générale de parallélépipède du bac. Les faces latérales 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, ainsi que les premières zones de raccordement 16 forment ensemble une paroi périphérique 17 du bac.On the figure 1 we see the bottom of a tray 10 whose general shape is substantially parallelepipedal but flared upward. This tray comprises a tank 11 formed by lateral faces 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, designated in the following front face 12B, rear face 12D, left side face 12C and right lateral face 12A, interconnected by rounded edges 16, and by a bottom wall 14 whose shape corresponds substantially to that of a square whose corners 15 are rounded. In the described embodiment, the rounded edges 16, said first connecting areas 16, form portions of cone trunks which protrude from the general parallelepiped shape of the tray. The side faces 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, as well as the first connection areas 16 together form a peripheral wall 17 of the tray.

On peut voir, sur la face latérale droite 12A, un renfoncement 18, délimité par un bord courbe 18A, qui permet le logement d'une roue (non représentée) du bac. Disposées au bas de la face arrière 12D, se trouvent des nervures 18 munies d'orifices 20 qui permettent de maintenir un axe de rotation des roues (non représenté) et renforcent la partie basse de la paroi 12D à laquelle celles-ci sont reliées.It can be seen, on the right lateral face 12A, a recess 18, defined by a curved edge 18A, which allows the housing of a wheel (not shown) of the tray. Arranged at the bottom of the rear face 12D are ribs 18 provided with orifices 20 which make it possible to maintain an axis of rotation of the wheels (not shown) and reinforce the lower part of the wall 12D to which they are connected.

Les faces latérales droite 12A, avant 12B, latérale gauche 12C, (mais pas la face arrière 12D) sont reliées à la paroi inférieure 14 par une deuxième zone de raccordement 22 qui forme une arrête arrondie. On considère que cette arrête arrondie doit avoir un rayon minimum de 4 mm.The right side faces 12A, 12B front left, 12C left (but not the rear face 12D) are connected to the bottom wall 14 by a second connecting zone 22 which forms a rounded edge. This rounded edge is considered to have a minimum radius of 4 mm.

Sous la paroi inférieure 14 et approximativement en son milieu, on voit une nervure circulaire 24. Celle-ci a pour fonction de servir d'appui sur le sol à une région centrale de la paroi inférieure du bac lorsque ce dernier est en position normale d'attente.Under the bottom wall 14 and approximately in the middle, there is a circular rib 24. The function of the latter is to serve as a support on the ground to a central region of the lower wall of the tank when the latter is in the normal position of 'waiting.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, des nervures latérales 26 se situent à la frontière entre la deuxième zone de raccordement 22 et chacune des faces latérales 12A, 12B et 12C. Les nervures latérales 26 ont un profil qui présente des portions sensiblement droites 26A et des portions courbes 26B. Leur fonction première est de servir d'appui sur le sol à la paroi inférieure 14 du bac, en garantissant à celui-ci une bonne stabilité ainsi qu'une résistance au frottement. Dans l'exemple, les nervures latérales 26 et la nervure circulaire 24 ont une épaisseur qui est égale à 3 mm, tandis que les faces latérales 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D et la paroi inférieure 14 ont une épaisseur égale à 3 mm.In this embodiment, lateral ribs 26 are located at the boundary between the second connection zone 22 and each of the lateral faces 12A, 12B and 12C. The lateral ribs 26 have a profile which has substantially straight portions 26A and curved portions 26B. Their primary function is to serve as a support on the ground to the bottom wall 14 of the tray, ensuring it good stability and resistance to friction. In the example, the lateral ribs 26 and the circular rib 24 have a thickness which is equal to 3 mm, while the lateral faces 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D and the bottom wall 14 have a thickness equal to 3 mm.

A la figure 2, on voit le dessous du bac, sur lequel on reconnaît la nervure centrale circulaire 24, et les nervures latérales 26. A la périphérie du bac, on voit une collerette 27 munie de nervures de renfort 29 et de poignées 31 permettant de manipuler le bac 10.To the figure 2 , we see the underside of the tray, on which we recognize the central circular rib 24, and the lateral ribs 26. At the periphery of the tray, we see a collar 27 provided with reinforcement ribs 29 and handles 31 for handling the tray 10.

Les premières zones de raccordement 16 et la deuxième zone de raccordement 22 se chevauchent. Leurs intersections constituent des troisièmes zones, dites « zones de chevauchement » 32. Au droit des zones de chevauchement 32, la paroi périphérique 17 forme deux prolongements 34 vers le bas. Les prolongements 34 ont un profil courbe qui correspond à celui des premières zones 16. Autrement dit, les prolongements vers le bas prennent leur origine au-dessous de la cuve, dans les zones de chevauchement 32.The first connection areas 16 and the second connection zone 22 overlap. Their intersections constitute third zones, called "zones of overlap" 32. At the right of the overlapping areas 32, the peripheral wall 17 forms two extensions 34 downwards. The extensions 34 have a curved profile that corresponds to that of the first zones 16. In other words, the downward extensions originate below the tank in the overlapping areas 32.

Toutefois, un prolongement vers le bas 34 n'est pas nécessairement limité au droit des zones de chevauchement 32, et ce prolongement peut bien sûr déborder un peu dans les deuxièmes zones de raccordement 22 avoisinantes, sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention. On considère ainsi qu'un prolongement vers le bas 34 se situe dans une région qui comprend uniquement une zone de chevauchement 32 et son voisinage, le voisinage s'étendant de part et d'autres dans les deuxièmes zones de raccordement 22 avoisinantes. Dans ce cas, on considère que le voisinage est limité à une distance de 50 mm des zones de chevauchement et de préférence à une distance de 0,5 mm.However, a downward extension 34 is not necessarily limited to the right of the overlapping areas 32, and this extension may of course extend a little in the second connecting zones 22 nearby, without we leave the framework. of the invention. Thus, a downward extension 34 is considered to be in a region that includes only an overlap area 32 and its vicinity, the neighborhood extending from one side to the other in the neighboring second connection areas 22. In this case, it is considered that the vicinity is limited to a distance of 50 mm from the overlapping areas and preferably at a distance of 0.5 mm.

Les prolongements 34, les nervures latérales 26 et la nervure circulaire 24 ont des sommets 30, 31 dont les hauteurs respectives sont toutes à un même niveau. Bien qu'elle ne figure pas dans le plan de coupe, on a représenté une nervure latérale 26 sur la figure 3. On voit que son sommet 31 est à la même hauteur que le sommet 30 du prolongement vers le bas 34. Ainsi, lorsque le bac est en position normale d'attente posé sur le sol, les sommets 30, 31 des différentes nervures et ceux des prolongements sont tous en contact avec le sol, ce qui assure une bonne répartition du poids du bac et une bonne stabilité.The extensions 34, the lateral ribs 26 and the circular rib 24 have vertices 30, 31 whose respective heights are all at the same level. Although it does not appear in the plane of section, there is shown a lateral rib 26 on the figure 3 . It can be seen that its top 31 is at the same height as the top 30 of the downward extension 34. Thus, when the tray is in the normal position of waiting placed on the ground, the vertices 30, 31 of the various ribs and those of the extensions are all in contact with the ground, which ensures a good distribution of the weight of the tray and good stability.

Les prolongements 34, qui se situent dans les zones de chevauchement 32, ont pour fonction de servir d'appui pour le bac lorsqu'il est posé sur le sol en position normale d'attente.The extensions 34, which are located in the areas of overlap 32, serve to support the tray when placed on the ground in the normal position of waiting.

Ainsi, les prolongements 34 assurent une continuité de matière avec les premières zones 16 selon le sens longitudinal du bac. Cette continuité de matière garantit une continuité dans la transmission des efforts lorsque les bacs sont empilés, permettant une résistance et une stabilité adéquate de la partie basse du bac.Thus, the extensions 34 provide continuity of material with the first zones 16 along the longitudinal direction of the tray. This continuity of material ensures continuity in the transmission of forces when the bins are stacked, allowing strength and stability of the lower part of the tray.

Par ailleurs, dans cet exemple, les nervures latérales 26 et la nervure circulaire 24 jouent aussi un rôle de stabilisation tout en conférant une résistance mécanique accrue du bac notamment lorsque le bac reçoit un empilement d'autres bacs. En fait, de par leur répartition à la fois au centre et à la périphérie de la surface inférieure, la nervure centrale, les prolongements 34 et les nervures latérales 26 assurent une stabilité et une résistance optimale lorsque le bac reçoit un empilement d'autres bacs pendant les phases de stockage. Ainsi, il devient possible d'empiler une quantité plus importante de bacs grâce à la résistance accrue de la paroi inférieure 14 du bac face à des phénomènes de fragilisation de la nervure.Furthermore, in this example, the lateral ribs 26 and the circular rib 24 also play a stabilizing role while providing increased mechanical strength of the tray especially when the tray receives a stack of other bins. In fact, by virtue of their distribution both in the center and at the periphery of the lower surface, the central rib, the extensions 34 and the lateral ribs 26 ensure optimum stability and resistance when the container receives a stack of other containers. during the storage phases. Thus, it becomes possible to stack a larger quantity of tanks thanks to the increased resistance of the lower wall 14 of the tray in the face of embrittlement phenomena of the rib.

Comme montré sur la figure 3, le bas de la première zone de raccordement 16 possède une face externe qui est une partie adjacente 17' à la paroi inférieure 14 et est engendrée par une génératrice rectiligne G. Le prolongement 34, qui se trouve dans une zone de chevauchement 32, se trouve à une distance maximale Dmax de la génératrice G. Dans l'exemple, la distance Dmax a une valeur de 40 mm.As shown on the figure 3 , the bottom of the first connection zone 16 has an outer face which is an adjacent portion 17 'to the bottom wall 14 and is generated by a straight generatrix G. The extension 34, which lies in an overlap zone 32, is at a maximum distance D max of the generator G. In the example, the distance D max has a value of 40 mm.

On a représenté à la figure 4 un bac selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, sur lequel les éléments analogues à ceux de la figure 1 sont désignés par des références identiques. On voit la paroi inférieure 14, la nervure circulaire 24 et les nervures latérales 26 qui sont directement raccordées avec les prolongements 34 dans les zones de chevauchement 32. Dans ce mode de réalisation, ladite au moins une nervure 26 se raccorde directement audit au moins un prolongement vers le bas 34, ladite au moins une nervure 26 s'étendant vers le bas selon un plan sensiblement parallèle à la paroi périphérique et ledit plan étant éloigné d'une distance d' d'au moins 5 mm, et de préférence d'au moins 15 mm d'une génératrice située au bas de la paroi périphérique 17.We have shown figure 4 a container according to a second embodiment of the invention, on which elements similar to those of the figure 1 are designated by identical references. We see the bottom wall 14, the circular rib 24 and the lateral ribs 26 which are directly connected with the extensions 34 in the overlap areas 32. In this embodiment, the at least one rib 26 is connected directly to the at least one downward extension 34, said at least one rib 26 extending downwardly in a plane substantially parallel to the peripheral wall and said plane being spaced a distance of at least 5 mm, and preferably from at least 15 mm from a generatrix located at the bottom of the peripheral wall 17.

L'invention a été décrite selon des modes de réalisation préférentiels.The invention has been described according to preferred embodiments.

Cependant, on comprendra que, tout en respectant ses caractères essentiels, il soit permis d'y introduire de multiples variations de détail, qui seront protégés aussi bien que les autres et qui pourront porter sur la forme des prolongements 34, sur leurs dimensions, sur le matériau utilisé, non moins que sur d'autres éléments quelconques pourvu qu'ils n'altèrent pas la base de l'invention.However, it will be understood that, while respecting its essential characteristics, it is permissible to introduce multiple variations of detail, which will be protected as well as the others and which may bear on the shape of the extensions 34, on their dimensions, on the material used, no less than on any other elements provided that they do not alter the basis of the invention.
