Description

Les bureaux utilisés notamment dans les administrations comportent généralement un plateau, formant table, un grand cOté longitudinal formant fond, et deux petits côtes transversaux, formant pieds, ainsi qu'au moins un tiroir d'un côte du bureau coulissant dans un caisson rigide et monobloc. The offices used in particular in administrations generally comprise a tray, forming a table, a large longitudinal side forming the bottom, and two small transverse ribs, forming feet, as well as at least one drawer on one side of the office sliding in a rigid box and monobloc.

Ces bureaux sont souvent assez encombrants, ce qui pose un grave problème pour leur stockage et leur transport, et grève notablement leur prix de revient. These offices are often quite bulky, which poses a serious problem for their storage and transport, and significantly increases their cost price.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient des bureaux classiques, le bureau suivant la présente invention est caractérisé en ce que son plateau, son grand cOté longitudinal formant fond, pourvu d'éléments supports arrière des tiroirs, et ses deux petits côtés transversaux, sont agencés pour pouvoir Entre repliés à plat, et sont complétés, lors du montage du bureau pour son utilisation, non pas par un coffre monobloc habituel, mais par un cadre rigide, support avant des tiroirs, que l'on fixe aux éléments précités et au moins un tiroir ; lorsqu'il y a plusieurs tiroirs superposés, ils sont préférablement démontables et emboitables. To overcome this drawback of conventional offices, the office according to the present invention is characterized in that its tray, its large longitudinal side forming the bottom, provided with rear support elements of the drawers, and its two small transverse sides, are arranged to be able to folded flat, and are supplemented, during assembly of the desk for its use, not by a usual one-piece chest, but by a rigid frame, support before the drawers, which are fixed to the aforementioned elements and at least one drawer; when there are several overlapping drawers, they are preferably removable and nestable.

Le dessin annexé montre à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation de la présente invention. The accompanying drawing shows by way of example an embodiment of the present invention.

La figure 1 est une vue en élévation du bureau, après montage, tel qu'il est utilisé. Figure 1 is an elevational view of the desk, after assembly, as it is used.

Les figures 2 à 5 sont des vues analogues montrant les différentes étapes du montage du bureau. Figures 2 to 5 are similar views showing the different stages of mounting the desk.

La figure 6 est une vue en coupe transversale montrant le montage des tiroirs. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the assembly of the drawers.

Le bureau représenté comporte un plateau 1, formant table, un grand côté longitudinal 2, formant fond, dont la face intérieure est pourvue, de chaque côté, d'une paire 3 et 4, de crémaillères sè faisant face, constituant le support arrière des rails de tiroirs, et deux petits côtés longitudinaux 5 et 6, munis chacun d'une paire de pieds 7 et 8. The desk shown has a tray 1, forming a table, a large longitudinal side 2, forming a bottom, the inner face of which is provided, on each side, with a pair 3 and 4, of racks facing each other, constituting the rear support of the drawer rails, and two small longitudinal sides 5 and 6, each provided with a pair of legs 7 and 8.

Les éléments précités, constitutifs de la carcasse du bureau, sont montés a charnières, de façon à pouvoir être repliés a plat les uns sur les autres, pour le stockage et le transport, comme le montre la figure 2, occupant ainsi un volume très réduit, comparé notamment a celui du bureau, lors de son utilisation, tel que montré à la figure 1. The above elements, constituting the carcass of the office, are hinged, so that they can be folded flat on top of each other, for storage and transport, as shown in Figure 2, thus occupying a very small volume , compared in particular to that of the office, when in use, as shown in FIG. 1.

L'ensemble de ces éléments de carcasse, ainsi repliés, reposant a l'envers sur le sol, pour le montage, on commence par faire basculer de 900 vers le haut les deux petits côtés 5 et 6, avec leurs pieds 7 et 8, puis le grand côté 2, avec ses paires de crémaillères 3 et 4, on assure la rigidité de cette carcasse par des fixations aux angles 9 et 10, et on la complète par un cadre rigide indépendant 11, pourvu d'une paire de crémaillères 12, destinées à coopérer avec la paire de crémaillères 4 du fond du bureau du côtX où on désire pouvoir disposer de tiroirs, cadre que l'on fixe sous le plateau 1 .et contre le petit côté transversal correspondant 6 ; un voile de côté 13 permet de cacher les tiroirs et d'en empêcher l'accès latéral, tout en rigidifiant l'ensemble. All of these carcass elements, thus folded, resting upside down on the ground, for assembly, we begin by tilting 900 the two short sides 5 and 6 upwards, with their feet 7 and 8, then the long side 2, with its pairs of racks 3 and 4, this rigidity is ensured by fixings at the angles 9 and 10, and it is completed by an independent rigid frame 11, provided with a pair of racks 12 , intended to cooperate with the pair of racks 4 at the bottom of the office of the CôtX where one wishes to be able to have drawers, frame which is fixed under the plate 1. and against the corresponding small transverse side 6; a side veil 13 makes it possible to hide the drawers and to prevent lateral access thereto, while stiffening the assembly.

La carcasse du bureau, ainsi montée et rigidifiée, peut recevoir les tiroirs après qu'on l'aura rétourné, et fait reposer sur ses paires de pieds 7 et 8, comme le montre la figure 4. The carcass of the desk, thus mounted and stiffened, can receive the drawers after it has been turned over, and rests on its pairs of legs 7 and 8, as shown in Figure 4.

A cet effet, on utilise un support de tiroir constitué d'un axe 14 dont les extrémités peuvent être engagées dans des crans, de niveaux appropriés, des crémaillères 12 du cadre 11, et de rails 15, dont les extrémités peuvent être engagées dans les crans de niveaux appropriés de la paire de cré maillères 4 ; sur les extrémités de cet axe 14 sont montés une paire de galets 16 équipés de joues 17, sur lesquels pourra rouler la partie inférieure d'un tiroir, tout en étant guidé latéralement. For this purpose, use is made of a drawer support consisting of a pin 14, the ends of which can be engaged in notches, of appropriate levels, racks 12 of the frame 11, and rails 15, the ends of which can be engaged in the appropriate level notches of the pair of chain links 4; on the ends of this axis 14 are mounted a pair of rollers 16 equipped with cheeks 17, on which the lower part of a drawer can roll, while being guided laterally.

Le tiroir lui-même est démontable ; il est constitué d'un corps de tiroir 17, et d'une paroi avant 18 munie d'une poignée 19 ; la fixation de ces deux éléments constitutifs du tiroir peut être obtenue au moyen de pattes en équerre 20, solidaires de la paroi avant 18 du tiroir 17, que l'on peut fixer par vis à la partie antérieure des cOtés longitudinaux 21 du tiroir 17 ; sa paroi postérieure 22 comporte un prolongement vers le bas 23, formant latéralement les crans 24 qui peuvent être engagés sur les rails support de tiroir 15 ; la distance entre les rails 15 étant plus grande a l'avant, permettra l'emmanchement des crans 24 sur les rails 15. The drawer itself is removable; it consists of a drawer body 17, and a front wall 18 provided with a handle 19; the fixing of these two constituent elements of the drawer can be obtained by means of angled lugs 20, integral with the front wall 18 of the drawer 17, which can be fixed by screws to the front part of the longitudinal sides 21 of the drawer 17; its rear wall 22 has a downward extension 23, laterally forming the notches 24 which can be engaged on the drawer support rails 15; the distance between the rails 15 being greater at the front, will allow the notches 24 to be fitted onto the rails 15.

Une butée 25 peut être prévue sous le fond du tiroir pour limiter son ouverture lorsqu'elle vient au contact de l'axe 14. A stop 25 can be provided under the bottom of the drawer to limit its opening when it comes into contact with the axis 14.

Sur la figure 4, il n'a été prévu qu'un seul tiroir par contre, sur la figure 1, on a montré deux tiroirs superposés ; dans ce cas, les corps de ces tiroirs peuvent être évasés vers le haut de façon à pouvoir s'emboîter l'un dans l'autre pour limiter l'encombrement lors du stockage et du transport. In FIG. 4, only one drawer has been provided, in FIG. 1, two superimposed drawers have been shown; in this case, the bodies of these drawers can be flared upwards so as to be able to fit one into the other to limit the space requirement during storage and transport.

I1 est bien entendu que le mode de réalisation de l'invention qui a été décrit ci-dessus en référence au dessin annexe a été donné d~titre purement indicatif et nullement limitatif et que de nombreuses modifications peuvent être apportées sans qu'on s'écarte pour cela du cadre de la présente invention. I1 is understood that the embodiment of the invention which has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawing has been given ~ purely indicative and in no way limiting and that many modifications can be made without being deviates for this from the scope of the present invention.
