Definitions

  • the invention relates to storage furniture.
  • It relates more specifically to storage furniture comprising a storage element configured to pick up an object placed on the floor without the user having to bend down.
  • Storage units comprising one or more drawers integral with the unit and allowing the storage of objects are known. Storing objects in such drawers involves picking up the objects to be stored and placing them in the drawer.
  • the publication DE 20 2013 006941 U1 discloses a storage drawer, wherein two opposing side walls of the drawer rest on wheels. These wheels make it possible to move the drawer to position it, for example, under a bed. Due to the presence of wheels, the edges of the two side walls do not rest on the floor, and therefore the drawer is raised above the floor.
  • the present invention makes it possible to remedy the problems mentioned in the preceding chapter and relates to storage furniture.
  • the invention also relates to a method of using such storage furniture.
  • the invention relates to storage furniture comprising a storage base comprising two first opposing side walls, a first rear wall, a first top wall defining the top of the base and an opening arranged on the front of the base, the base of storage being configured to be placed on a floor on edges of the first two opposite side walls.
  • the storage furniture further comprises a storage element movable and dimensioned to be received in the opening arranged on the storage base, the storage element being made up of two second opposite side walls, a second rear wall, the second wall rear thus comprising two sides connected to the two second side walls and thus forming a space delimited by the two second side walls and the second rear wall, the storage element being configured so that edges of the second rear wall and of the two second rear walls opposite sides rest substantially on the ground and can slide inside the storage base in such a way that the second rear wall is positioned opposite the first rear wall, the space being empty down to the ground .
  • the storage base is configured to be placed on the ground on an edge of the first rear wall.
  • the storage element is further configured to pick up at least one object placed on the floor by moving the storage element on the floor in the direction of the object, the object being picked up in space and moved to the storage base by moving the storage element.
  • the width of the storage element is smaller than the width of the opening arranged on the storage base.
  • the storage base includes a locking mechanism configured to secure the storage element when it is in the storage base.
  • steps i and ii can be repeated if other objects are to be picked up.
  • the first step of the method is to remove the storage element from the opening arranged on the storage base.
  • the invention provides storage furniture configured to pick up objects placed on the floor without the person having to bend down to pick them up.
  • This storage furniture comprises a storage base (1) intended to store the picked up objects as well as a mobile storage element (6) configured for picking up one or more objects placed on the floor and moving them to the storage base (1).
  • the storage base (1) comprises two first opposite side walls (2a, 2b) defining the side edges of the base (1), a first rear wall (3) defining the rear edge of the base (1), a first wall upper (4) defining the upper edge of the base (1) and an opening (5) arranged on the front of the base (1).
  • the storage base (1) is configured to be placed on a floor on edges of the two first opposite side walls (2a, 2b).
  • the storage base (1) can be configured to be placed on the ground on an edge of the first rear wall (3).
  • the opening (5) can correspond to the entire front of the storage base (1).
  • the storage base (1) may also comprise a first front wall defining the front of the base (1) and in which the opening (5) is arranged.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the storage element (6) according to the invention.
  • the storage element (6) is movable and sized to be received in the opening (5) arranged on the storage base (1).
  • the storage element (6) consists of two second opposite side walls (7a, 7b) defining the side edges of the element (6), a second rear wall (8) defining the rear of the element (6 ).
  • the second rear wall (8) thus comprises two sides connected to the two second side walls (7a, 7b) and forms a space (10) delimited by the two second side walls (7a, 7b) and the second rear wall (8).
  • the storage element is further configured so that edges of the second rear wall (8) and the two opposite second lower side walls (7a, 7b) rest substantially on the ground and can slide inside the base storage (1) in such a way that the second rear wall (8) is positioned opposite the first rear wall (3).
  • the storage element is further configured to pick up at least one object placed on the floor by moving the storage element (6) on the floor in the direction of the object, the object being picked up in space ( 10) and moved to the storage base (1) by moving the storage element (6).

  • the second rear wall (8) of the storage element (6) can partly or completely close the opening (5) arranged on the front of the storage base (1).
  • the storage base (1) may further comprise a locking mechanism configured to secure the storage element (6) in the storage base (1) in the closed position. This can be done by magnets, a spring, roller or blade locking system, rods (metal, plastic, wood or other), or any other element making it possible to secure the storage element (6 ) in the storage base (1) in the closed position.
  • the storage furniture can be made of wood, plastic, metal or any other material allowing the construction of the storage furniture according to the invention.
  • the storage element (6) also comprises a second upper wall (9b) defining the upper edge of the storage element (6).

  • the second side walls (7a, 7b) can be arranged so as to each form substantially an angle of 90° with respect to the second rear wall (8).
  • FIG. 5b illustrates the storage element (6) according to a variant of the invention in which the second side walls (7a, 7b) can be arranged so as to each form substantially an angle greater than 90° with respect to the second rear wall ( 8).
  • the second side walls (7a, 7b) can be arranged so as to each form substantially an angle of less than 90° with respect to the second rear wall (8).
