Abstract

Each of the two articulated elements which form the case is constituted by a frame 1 provided with an open groove which is outward facing in order to receive the peripheral edge of a shell 4 which is pressed on and thus rendered interchangeable.

Description

La présente invention a trait aux écrins utilisés pour la presen- tation et la vente des articles de bijouterie et similaires. The present invention relates to cases used for the display and sale of jewelry and similar articles.

On sait que les écrins de ce type comprennent généralement deux éléments assemblés l'un à l'autre à l'aide de charnières d'articulation, de façon à ce que l'un d'eux joue le rôle de bottier tandis que l'autre tient lieu de couvercle. Ces éléments sont le plus souvent reliés par des moyens élastiques qui les maintiennent en position fermée, de manière à éviter de la sorte la nécessité d'un fermoir. La face interne de chaque élément reçoit opportunément une garniture propre à assurer la retenue ou au moins le centrage de l'article contenu dans l'écrin et à porter la marque de cet article ou autre motif décoratif. We know that boxes of this type generally include two elements joined to each other by means of articulation hinges, so that one of them acts as a shoemaker while the another serves as a cover. These elements are most often connected by elastic means which keep them in the closed position, so as to thereby avoid the need for a clasp. The internal face of each element opportunely receives a lining suitable for ensuring the retention or at least the centering of the article contained in the case and to bear the mark of this article or other decorative motif.

La fabrication et le stockage de ces écrins sont compliqués par le fait que la profondeur de chacun des deux éléments varie de manière con sidérale en fonction de la hauteur et de la conformation des articles, cette complication ayant évidemment un effet défavorable quant au prix final de chaque écrin. The manufacture and storage of these cases are complicated by the fact that the depth of each of the two elements varies sidereally depending on the height and the shape of the articles, this complication obviously having an adverse effect on the final price of each case.

C'est à cet inconvénient qu'entend principalement remédier la présente invention, laquelle consiste essentiellement a réaliser chaque élément de l'écrin à l'aide d'un cadre rigide pourvu d'une rainure périphérique qui est destinée a recevoir le bord ouvert d'une coquille formant le corps de ltélément considéré. It is to this drawback that the present invention mainly intends to remedy, which consists essentially in making each element of the case using a rigid frame provided with a peripheral groove which is intended to receive the open edge of 'a shell forming the body of the element under consideration.

les deux cadres de chaque écrin sont susceptibles d'être assemblés l'un à l'autre à l'aide de charnières classiques et d'un ressort de fermeture de type usuel, chaque cadre étant muni d'une coquille stable en fonction de la nature et/ou de la conformation de l'article destiné à etre disposé dans ltécrin envisagé. the two frames of each case are capable of being assembled to each other using conventional hinges and a closing spring of the usual type, each frame being provided with a stable shell depending on the nature and / or conformation of the article intended to be placed in ltécrin envisaged.

le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
Fig. l montre en perspective, préalablement à leur assemblage, les différentes pièces qui constituent un écrin établi conformement à la présente invention.
the appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing
Fig. l shows in perspective, prior to their assembly, the various parts which constitute a case established in accordance with the present invention.

Fig. 2 est une coupe transversale à échelle agrandie du cadre de l'élément supérieur de l'écrin. Fig. 2 is a cross section on an enlarged scale of the frame of the upper element of the case.

Fig. 3 est une vue de côté avec arrachements représentant l'écrin obtenu. Fig. 3 is a side view with cutaway representing the case obtained.

Comme montré en fig. 1, l'écrin envisagé comprend deux cadres l, avantageusement réalisés en une matière synthétique moulée présentant une bonne rigidité. Comme illustré en fig. 2, chaque cadre 1 comporte un talon la qui est creusé d'une rainure lb. Par ailleurs, la face l' présente deux dépressions lc (fig. 1) profilées pour recevoir les pointes de fixation de deux charnières d'assemblage articulé 2 ; 9 la façon en soi connue dans l'industrie des écrins, chacune des charnières 2 est formée par une plaquette en matière synthétique, amincie suivant sa ligne médiane de façon à permettre le pliage.L'assemblage de deux cadres 1 est renforcé par un ressort à lame 3 dont les extrsits repliées viennent prendre appui contre le bord d'encoches ld (fig. 2) prévues dans le bord libre desdits cadres, à I'opposé du talon la
On obtient de la sorte une armature ouvrante, maintenue élastique- ment fermée par le ressort central 3. Pour compléter I'écrin, il suffit de monter sur cette armature deux coquilles embouties 4 établies au profil des cadres 1 et dont le bord libre vient s'engager dans la rainure lb du talon la, comme montré en fig. 3. La retenue en place des coquilles 4 peut être améliorée à l'aide d'un léger collage, mais en tout état de cause on réalise finalement l'écrin représenté en fig. 3.
As shown in fig. 1, the case envisaged comprises two frames 1, advantageously made of a molded synthetic material having good rigidity. As illustrated in fig. 2, each frame 1 has a heel 1a which is hollowed out by a groove 1b. Furthermore, the face l has two depressions lc (fig. 1) profiled to receive the fixing points of two hinges for articulated assembly 2; 9 the manner known per se in the case industry, each of the hinges 2 is formed by a plastic plate, thinned along its midline so as to allow folding. The assembly of two frames 1 is reinforced by a spring blade 3 whose folded ends come to bear against the edge of notches ld (fig. 2) provided in the free edge of said frames, opposite the heel
In this way an opening frame is obtained, held resiliently closed by the central spring 3. To complete the case, it suffices to mount on this frame two stamped shells 4 established in the profile of the frames 1 and whose free edge comes s 'engage in the groove lb of the heel la, as shown in fig. 3. The retention in place of the shells 4 can be improved with the aid of a light bonding, but in any event, the case shown in FIG. 3.

On conçoit que la même armature est susceptible de recevoir des coquilles différentes, ce qui permet de réaliser aisément une foule d'écrins différents à partir du même type de cadres 1. 1l convient d'observer que si dans la forme d'exécution prise en exemple on a supposé que chaque cadre 1 présentait un profil carré à angles arrondis, ce qui permet de monter les coquilles 4 suivant quatre orientations différentes, cette disposition n'a rien d'obligatoire et l'on peut très bien concevoir des cadres à profil rectangulaire, circulaire, uval) etc... On comprend en outre que la partie interne des cadres 1 est susceptible d'être agencée en vue de faciliter le montage de la garniture ou habillage intérieur. It is understood that the same frame is capable of receiving different shells, which makes it possible to easily produce a multitude of different cases from the same type of frames 1. It should be observed that if in the embodiment taken into account example we assumed that each frame 1 had a square profile with rounded angles, which allows the shells 4 to be mounted according to four different orientations, this arrangement is not mandatory and we can very well design profile frames rectangular, circular, uval) etc ... It is further understood that the internal part of the frames 1 is capable of being arranged in order to facilitate the mounting of the lining or interior covering.

I1 doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui precede n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'execution décrits par tous autres équivalents.  It should moreover be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
