- the storage cassette 102 is set and secured inside the primary structure 101 of the storage frame 100 by means of movable mechanical links 8, perpendicular to the direction of the first sheet, at the level of the first sheet 1 and fixed mechanical connections 9 at the second sheet 2.
- the mechanical connections include, for example, screw and nut or screw and tapping systems or bolt and nut and / or bolt or any other suitable system for securing the storage cassette 102 in the primary structure 101 of the frame.
- the fixed mechanical connections 9 block the second sheet 2 on the primary structure in the three directions in space (fixed point without degree of freedom).
- several screws 9 pass through passages made in the second sheet and fix this sheet 2 to the primary structure 101.
- this second sheet 2 may include orifices (star or other) complementary to the outer shape of the second end bottles 103b to block rotation.
- the movable mechanical links 8 block the first sheet 1 on the primary structure 101 in two directions (locking in the plane of the first sheet 1) while allowing limited movement of the first sheet 1 in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the first sheet 1. That is to say that the first sheet 1 can move in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bottles 103, in particular to absorb their longitudinal expansion (displacement limited vertically when the bottles 103 are arranged vertically oriented according to Figures 9 and 10 for example). This limited movement has for example an amplitude of 5 to 30mm and in particular 20mm.
- equipment 11 sheets, reinforcements, user facades, etc.
- the storage frame 100 is returned to the ground on its lower part to put it in place.
- the second embodiment of the storage frame 100 according to the invention differs from the first embodiment in that the second sheet 2 of the storage cassette 102 is removed and replaced by a portion of the primary structure 101.
- the primary structure 101 has a plurality of housings 101b formed in a portion of said primary structure 101.
- intermediate elements 101c or spacers are positioned in said housings 101b in such a way that to ensure the interface between the bottles 103 and the primary structure 101.
- each at least one intermediate element 101c is shaped to receive and match the shape of each housing 101b formed on the primary structure 101 on an outer face.
- each intermediate element 101c is shaped to receive and match the shape of the second end 103b of each bottle 103 on an inner face.
- the first sheet 1 is positioned at the first end 103a of each bottle 103.
- the lyrage is carried out, that is to say the mounting of the lyrage system and fitting 10 equipping the storage frame 100, by cohabitation with the valve outlets mounted at the outlet of the bottles 103. and the gas distribution systems are installed, then the primary structure 101 is closed and equipment 11 (sheets, reinforcements, user facade, etc.) is placed on the lateral faces of the storage frame 100 formed.
- equipment 11 sheets, reinforcements, user facade, etc.
- the storage frame 100 comprises a locking device comprising at least one locking member 12 configured to pass through the primary structure 101 and also the second end 103b of the bottle 103 when the latter is hollow. .
- each storage cassette 102 is carried out independently as illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16. Then, the storage cassettes 102 are grouped together and assembled in the structure primary 101 which welcomes them as illustrated in Figures 17 and 18.
- the storage frame 100 For a storage frame 100 of vertical bottles, the storage frame 100 is positioned on the ground on its lower face. For a storage frame 100 of horizontal bottles, the storage frame 100 is positioned on the ground on one of its lateral faces.
- a storage cassette 102 contains from four to sixteen bottles 103.
- a storage frame 100 designed according to the invention is constructed in a modular manner with one to four storage cassettes 102.
- a storage frame 100 of sixteen bottles 103 of the invention may be designed from a storage cassette 102 of sixteen bottles.
- a storage frame 102 of sixty-four bottles 103 is designed from four storage cassettes 102 of sixteen bottles 103.
