Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for storing and transporting at least one extruded continuous seal for a motor vehicle.
- a motor vehicle comprises several extruded seals, in particular seals which are made of elastomeric material. These seals have an elongate shape and may have a predetermined length depending on their application. They are then precut at this length out of the extrusion line.
- the seals can be made continuously or endless and be delivered as such to a customer who can then cut seal lengths according to his needs. These continuous joints are commonly called “endless” in the automotive field.
- the storage and transport of this type of seal are generally made by means of a coil.
- the coil comprises a horizontal axis hub around which is wound the continuous seal, side walls being located at each end of the hub to retain the seal on the hub. It has already been proposed to make the winding of such a seal around a hub of vertical axis. In this case, we speak of a winding on a plate, this plate being horizontal and supporting the seal which is wrapped around the hub carried by the plate.
- the present invention provides an improvement to this technology.
- the invention proposes for this purpose a device for storing and transporting at least one extruded continuous seal for a motor vehicle, comprising a horizontal plate and a hub of vertical axis, said hub having a frustoconical shape with a larger end.
- the device further comprising a peripheral wall extending around said hub and having a frustoconical shape whose end of smaller diameter is connected to said plate, this peripheral wall defining with the hub an annular space of winding and storage of the seal which is intended to bear at least partly on said plate and said peripheral wall, characterized in that said plate comprises support pads on a floor and / or receiving the fork arms of a forklift , and in that said annular space is configured to receive at least a portion of another device when the devices are stacked vertically on top of one another and in storage position in which the devices are configured to support one on the other, by pressing the soles of a higher device on the tray of a lower device.
- the invention thus proposes to use an annular "basin" for storing and transporting an extruded continuous seal.
- This device differs from the tray of the prior art by the peripheral wall which extends around the hub and allows to retain the seal wound around the hub.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to limit or even eliminate the winding tension in the seal because it is simply placed in the device.
- the weight constraint can be managed by the product itself.
- a first portion of seal may be arranged so that a more rigid portion of the seal supports a similar portion of a second portion of seal disposed directly on the first portion. This allows not to alter the less rigid and therefore more deformable parts of the seal.
- the stress of withdrawal of the joint can be managed by gaps between the windings or turns of the joint.
- a stack of several basins thus comprises an intermediate basin which is engaged at least partly in the space of a lower basin and which receives in its space at least a portion of an upper basin.
- the optimization of the storage volume of basins is particularly important.
- the basins can have dimensions and a large volume. When filled with seals, their storage volume can not be optimized to avoid crushing and damaging the seals. When they are empty, they can instead be stacked into each other so as to significantly reduce their storage volume. This is particularly important when empty bowls are returned, after delivery of seals to a customer.
- the basins are supported on a floor and can be transported through the soles.
- These insoles have another particularly advantageous function because they are configured to rest on the tray of a lower basin in a stack of basins. This support prevents the stacked basins from having their peripheral walls or hubs that are embedded in force and stuck in one another, which would result in a significant force required for them. disintegration or cleansing-nesting and also a risk of deterioration of the basins during this operation. On the contrary, the force of withdrawal of a basin of a stack depends only on the weight of this basin.
- the device according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following features, taken separately from one another or in combination with each other:
- said plate has a disc shape whose inner periphery is connected to said hub and the outer periphery is connected to said peripheral wall;
- said plate, said hub and said peripheral wall are made of metal alloy, or of thermoplastic, thermosetting or composite material,
- said hub has a height greater than or equal to that of said peripheral wall, measured from said plate, - Said hub and / or said peripheral wall comprises, for example in the upper part, gripping and lifting means, for example by means of a hoist or a forklift; the positioning of these means in the upper part is particularly advantageous because it facilitates the lifting and removal of a basin when engaged in a lower basin,
- the devices are configured to be engaged one inside the other over at least 50% of their height in said storage position
- the device comprises retractable legs movable between a first row position and a second deployed position, said legs being configured in their second position to bear on said peripheral wall of another device when the devices are aligned and stacked vertically, and in their first position to allow the interlocking of devices in one another,
- said feet are rotatable about substantially vertical axes

- the soles are formed by independent elements or by a single element, for example annular and extending around the axis of the hub,
- the insoles have in cross section a general shape in C, U or O,
- the soles are positioned relative to each other or to one another so as to be able to cooperate with a fork of a forklift truck or the like,
- an extruded continuous seal is wound around said hub and housed in said space, the seal being organized in said space in superposed horizontal layers comprising, from bottom to top, a first layer in which the seal is wound on itself while leaving from the hub to the peripheral wall, a second layer in which the seal is wound from the peripheral wall to the hub, and so on,
- an extruded continuous seal is wound around said hub and housed in said space, the seal being organized in said space in superposed horizontal layers comprising, from bottom to top, a first layer in which the seal is wound inside it; even from the peripheral wall to the hub, a second layer in which the seal is wound from the hub to the peripheral wall, and so on,

- the hub has a diameter that varies between 100 and 600 mm, and preferably between 200 and 500 mm, and more preferably between 250 and 350 mm,
- the peripheral wall has a diameter that varies between 800 and 2500 mm, and preferably between 1000 and 2000 mm, and more preferably between 1100 and 1500 mm, and
- the hub and the peripheral wall have cone angles which are between 3 and 25 °, and preferably between 3 and 15 °, and more preferably between 4 and 10 °
- peripheral wall extends downwards beyond the plane of the plate to form said flanges, and -

- Figure 1 shows a device 10 for storing and transporting continuous extruded gasket 12 for a motor vehicle.
- the gasket is for example intended to be cut to desired lengths to produce joint segments for example for doors or vehicle bodies.
- the seal is generally made of elastomeric material and may comprise in cross section several parts, such as parts of different stiffnesses, different compositions, different shapes, etc. It may comprise one or more longitudinal lips, a continuous adhesive tape coated with a release coating, a longitudinal cavity, etc.
- the length of the seal stored in the device 10 may be greater than 100m and preferably greater than 500m.
- the device 10 shown schematically in Figure 1 essentially comprises three parts namely a horizontal plate 14, a central hub 16 located on the plate 14, and a peripheral wall 18 extending on the plate 14 and remotely of the hub so as to define therewith an annular space E for winding the gasket 12.
- the plate 14 is preferably in the form of a disk whose inner periphery is connected to the hub 16 and whose outer periphery is connected to the wall 18.
- the hub 16 is substantially cylindrical and has a diameter denoted D1.
- the wall 18 is substantially cylindrical and has a diameter denoted D2.
- the plate 14 thus has an outer diameter D2.
- the height of the device 10, which corresponds substantially to the height or vertical dimension of the wall 18, is denoted H1.
- the hub 16 has a height similar to that of the wall 18.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows an automated installation for winding a seal 12 in a device 10 such as that represented in FIG.
- the device 10 is disposed on a wheel 20 which is rotatable about a vertical axis coincident with the axis X of the hub 16.
- a robot 22 for example of the six-axis type, or a three-axis or more than three-axis trimming system (In translation or in rotation), comprises a head 23 for handling the seal 12.
- the seal 12 passes through guides 24 and reaches the head 23 of the robot which is engaged in the space E of the device 10 in order to wind the seal around the hub 16.
- an end of the seal 12 is first positioned by the robot head as close as possible to the hub 16.
- the device 10 is displaced in rotation about the axis X of its hub so that the seal wraps around the hub.
- the seal is thus wrapped around itself to form a first seal layer C1, in the direction of the arrow of Figure 1, to the vicinity of the wall 18.
- the seal is then wound inside of itself and on the first layer, to form a second layer C2 in the direction of the arrow.
- the second layer bears on the first layer and also extends between the hub and the peripheral wall.
- the seal is then wrapped around itself to form a third seal layer C3, in the direction of the arrow of Figure 1, to the vicinity of the wall 18.
- the third layer is supported on the second layer and s also extends between the hub and the peripheral wall.
- the seal is then wound inside itself and on the third layer to form a fourth layer C4 in the direction of the arrow.
- the fourth layer bears on the third layer and also extends between the hub and the peripheral wall.
- the orientation of the seal in the device is essential for good transport robustness.
- the seal 12 comprises an adhesive strip 12b covered with a non-stick coating, as shown in Figure 1, the seal is preferably wound so that this band extends substantially cylindrical around hub.
- the adhesive strip is placed opposite the X axis, which eliminates any tension stress on the release liner and therefore prevents twisting of the seal and detachment of the coating.
- the weight constraint can be managed by the product itself.
- the rigid base 12a of the seal of an upper layer can be directly resting on the rigid base of this seal of a lower layer.
- the shrinkage stress of the joint can be managed by gaps J between the windings or turns of the joint.
- the lateral face of the seal 12 which is supported on the plate 14 or which is oriented towards the plate is preferably that which is not intended to be visible by a user of the vehicle equipped with this seal. This allows the opposite sideface to have more time to cool at the extrusion outlet before being covered by a layer, and thus limits the risk of marking the seal during winding.
- the device according to the invention is stackable or stackable, that is to say that similar devices can be stacked on each other. Even more advantageously, this device may be recessed or nested in another similar device in the absence of a seal stored in this other device.
- Figures 3 to 8 illustrate a first embodiment of the device 110 according to the invention.
- the hub 118 has a frustoconical shape whose large base or the end of larger diameter D11 is connected to the plate 114, and more exactly to the inner periphery of the disk-shaped plate.
- the wall 118 has a frustoconical shape whose small base or the end of smaller diameter D21 is connected to the plate 114, and more exactly to the outer periphery of the disk-shaped plate.
- the height of the hub 116 is denoted H2 and the height of the wall 118 is denoted H1, where H2 is greater than H1.
- the smaller diameter end D12 of the hub 116 thus protrudes from the larger diameter end D22 of the wall 118.
- the heights H1 and H2 are here measured from the plate 114.
- the upper end or smaller diameter D12 of the hub 116 comprises means 125 for gripping and lifting the device 110, for example by means of a hoist, not shown.
- these means 125 comprise two intersecting bars forming a cross adapted to cooperate with a hoist hook for example.
- This upper end may also have the function of facilitating the centering of the devices during stacking.
- the device 110 may include handles 125b on the upper peripheral edge of the wall 118 " which are adapted to receive the fork bars of a forklift.
- the device 1 10 would be at least partly made of metal alloy "such as stainless steel or aluminum " or of thermoplastic material, composite or other " means 124 could be formed in one piece with the hub 116 which could also be formed in one piece with the plate 114 and the wall 118.
- the device can be monobloc.
- the hub is preferably hollow or tubular to lighten the device.
- the device 1 10 comprises " under the plate 1 14 " of the flanges 126 of support of the device on a floor.
- the soles 126 are two in number and are substantially parallel. They are preferably tubular and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance so as to cooperate with a fork of a forklift truck or the like. The bars of the fork are thus intended to be inserted into the flanges so as to be arranged under the plate for the purpose of lifting and moving the device 1 10.
- the device 110 further comprises retractable legs 128. These feet 128 are used here to superpose and stack several similar devices 110 during storage or transport of these devices " as shown in Figure 5.
- Feet 128 are here represented in number of four (and are preferably at least three in number for reasons of stability), evenly distributed around the axis X of the hub 116. They are mounted under the plate 1 and articulated 14 on the latter around substantially vertical axes Y.
- the feet 128 have an elongate shape and are articulated at one of their longitudinal ends. They are each rotatable about their hinge axis Y " from a service position " shown in Figures 3 to 5 " to a storage position " shown in Figure 6 Alternatively or additional feature, they can be sliding along horizontal axes XI and X2, and each movable in translation along one of these axes, from a service position to a storage position.
- the free ends of the feet 128 are located radially outwardly with respect to the X axis and are situated on a circumference whose diameter D3 (FIG. 4) is greater than the diameter D22 .
- the feet 128 of a first device 110 are able to bear on the end of larger diameter D22 of the wall 118 of another device 110 located under the first device, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the upper portion of the hub 116 of a lower device which extends beyond the upper end of the wall 118 of this device, is engaged in the lower part of the hub of a device higher, which limits the risk of sliding devices, vis-à-vis each other, when stacked.
- the free ends of the legs 128 are folded inwards with respect to X, by at least 90 ° (or translated at least the whole of the overflowing length of the plate) , and are located on a circumference whose diameter D3 '( Figure 6) is smaller than the diameter D22.
- the feet 128 do not interfere with the stacking and embedding of the devices 110 into each other, as shown in FIG. 6.
- An intermediate device 110 is engaged in a lower device and has its soles 126 which bear on the upper surface of the plate 114 of the lower device.
- An upper device is engaged in the intermediate device and has its flanges 126 which bear on the upper surface of the plate 114 of the intermediate device.
- the walls 118 of the devices may be supported on one another or spaced from each other.
- seals are stored in the devices 110, they are stacked on each other as shown in Figure 5 and occupy a significant height corresponding substantially to the height of a device multiplied by the number of stacked devices.
- the devices 110 are empty, that is to say without joints, they are stacked and recessed into each other as shown in Figure 6 and occupy a much lower height.
- two devices are embedded one inside the other over a height representing more than 50% of the height (H1 or H2) of a device. This value can be 60 or even 80%.
- the height of three devices embedded in Figure 6 is substantially equal to half the height of three devices stacked in Figure 5. It is thus understood that the return of empty devices, a client to the seals supplier, can be done in a reduced storage and transport volume. In other words, although several transport trucks may be needed to deliver the devices with seals to a customer, a smaller number of trucks is needed for empty return of these devices.
- Figures 7 to 18 illustrate a second embodiment of the device 210 according to the invention.
- the hub 216 has a frustoconical shape whose large base or the end of larger diameter D11 is connected to the plate 214, and more exactly to the inner periphery of the disk-shaped plate.
- the wall 218 has a frustoconical shape whose small base or the end of smaller diameter D21 is connected to the plate 214, and more exactly to the outer periphery of the disk-shaped plate.
- the height of the hub 218 is similar to the height of the wall 118 and is denoted H1.
- the smaller diameter end D12 of the hub 218 and the larger diameter end D22 of the wall 218 are thus located in the same plane perpendicular to the axis X.
- the upper end or smaller diameter D12 of the hub 218 comprises means 230 for gripping and lifting the device 110, for example by means of a hoist, not shown.
- these means 230 comprise one or more hooks adapted to cooperate with a lifting bar 232 shown in FIG. 9.
- the means 224 could be formed in one piece with the hub 216 which could also be formed in one piece with the plate 214 and the wall 218.
- the device can thus be monobloc.
- the hub is preferably hollow or tubular to lighten the device.
- the device 210 comprises, under the plate 214, flanges 226 for supporting the device on a floor.
- the flanges 228 are two in number and are substantially parallel. They are preferably tubular and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance so as to cooperate with a fork of a forklift truck or the like. The bars of the fork are thus intended to be inserted into the soles so as to be arranged under the plate for the purpose of lifting and moving the device 210.
- the device 210 is intended to be mounted in a cage 234 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.
- the cage 234 comprises a horizontal support base 234a of the device 210 and peripheral barriers 234b intended to surround the device 210.
- the cage may be metallic.
- the base 234a of the cage is preferably monobloc and comprises soles 236 or the like, for example similar to those 228 of the 210.
- These soles 238 are two in number and are substantially parallel. They are preferably tubular and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance so as to cooperate with the fork of a forklift, as mentioned in the foregoing.
- the base 234a advantageously comprises a cone 238 for centering a device 210 in the cage 234.
- This cone 238 converges upwards and is centered on the base 234a.
- H is intended to cooperate by sliding with the inside of the hub 216 so as to center the device 210 on the base 234a and thus in the cage 234.
- Figures 12 and 13 show an assembly comprising a cage 234 and a device 210 mounted in this cage.
- the flanges 226 of the device bear on the upper surface of the base 234a of the cage and the cone 228 bears on the lower peripheral edge of the hub 218 of the device.
- the barriers are substantially vertical and extend over at least two sides of the device.
- the barriers 234b are advantageously movable from a service position shown in Figures 10 to 13 in which they extend vertically and therefore perpendicular to the base 234a, and a storage position shown in Figure 14 in which they are folded against the base and are therefore substantially horizontal. This storage position reduces their empty storage volume. To move the barriers from their operating position to their storage position, it is necessary to remove the device 210 from the cage.
- each barrier 234b is articulated about a substantially horizontal axis Z vis-à-vis the base 234a ( Figure 14).
- the cages 234 whose barriers 234b are folded down, can be stacked on top of one another (FIG. 15).
- the devices 210, removed from these cages can also be stacked and recessed into each other, as mentioned in the foregoing (FIG. 16).
- the base 234a has a generally square shape in the example shown and comprises at each of these corners points 240 adapted to be inserted into recesses 242 of the upper ends of the uprights of the barriers, in order to superimpose and stack the devices 210 on one another, as shown in FIG. 17
- the barriers 234b are folded over the base (FIG. 14) they leave free the vertical profiles situated at the four corners of the base and at the upper ends of which recesses are provided. 244 similar to the recesses 242 above the upper ends of the amounts of the barriers. This allows, in the storage position of the barriers, to stack and stack the cages, as can be seen in Figures 15 and 18.
- the cages 234 may comprise locking means able to immobilize two stacked cages, one vis-à-vis the other, and thus prevent them from accidentally separating.
- Figure 17 schematically shows a section of a truck or a transport trailer of this truck, in which are stored sets for transport. It can be seen that the dimensions of the assemblies allow the arrangement of two stacks of three superimposed assemblies. Such an arrangement is optimal and possible by adapting the dimensions of the sets to those of a truck or its trailer.
- the device has a height H1 or H2 of between 200 and 1000 mm, and preferably between 400 and 800 mm, and more preferably between 500 and 800 mm.
- the diameter D1 or D12 is between 100 and 600 mm, and preferably between 200 and 500 mm, and more preferably between 250 and 350 mm.
- the diameter D2 or D22 is between 800 and 2500 mm, and preferably between 1000 and 2000 mm, and more preferably between 1100 and 1500mm.
- the cone angles a, b of the hub and the wall are each between 3 and 25 °, preferably between 3 and 15 °, and more preferably between 4 and 10 °.
- the cone angles a, P are identical or similar.
- a device can have a weight of less than 100kg empty (assuming a metal alloy embodiment) and load a weight greater than 200kg.
- Figure 18 schematically shows the section of the truck or its trailer with the devices 210 that have been removed from the cages 234.
- the devices are stacked and recessed into each other and the cages are superimposed on each other in their storage positions. It can be seen that the same section of the truck or trailer makes it possible to store more sets in this arrangement. In the example shown, twelve vacuum assemblies are stored in this section against six for a (loaded) arrangement as shown in FIG. 17.
- each seal layer comprises a radially inner peripheral portion adapted to bear on the hub 116, 216 and a radially outer peripheral portion adapted to bear on the wall 118, 218, which is also the case with the device 10 of FIG. Figure 1.
- Figures 19 to 22 are views similar to that of Figure 1 and illustrate different possibilities of winding and arrangement of joints in devices according to the invention.
- the device is similar to that shown in Figure 1, its peripheral wall being cylindrical.
- the seal is shown in Fig. 19 so that the lip on one side of the seal faces upward. This is the opposite in FIG. 20.
- the peripheral wall of the device is frustoconical.
- the seal is shown in Figure 21 so that the lip on one of the sides of the seal is oriented towards the top. This is the opposite in Figure 22.
- the turns are more numerous in the upper layers than in the lower layers.
- FIG. 23 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the basin 310 in which the flanges 326 are formed by an axial downward extension of the peripheral wall 318.
- This wall 318 indeed extends under the plane formed by the plate 314 and comprises thus a lower extension referenced 318a.
- This extension 318a includes notches 318b which extend axially from the lower free edge of the extension to the tray 314 in the illustrated embodiment. These notches 318b result in a sectorization of the extension 318a which thus includes sectors forming soles.
- the number of notches 318b is equal to the number of sectors and therefore of flanges 326, and here is four.
- the notches 318b may have a general shape U, C, V whose opening opens down. Alternatively, the notches could be lights in O.
- the notches 318b can be dimensioned and positioned to receive the arms of a fork of a forklift.
- the flanges 326 are therefore designed to bear on the ground or on a plate 314 of another device (in the case of a stack of devices 310) and are therefore not intended to receive or cooperate with a fork (which cooperates rather with the notches 318b provided between these insoles 326).
- the flanges (wall sectors) each have a generally curved shape around the axis of the hub 316.
- extension 318a might not include notches 318b and the flanges 326 would then be formed by a single annular element namely the extension 318a.
