Abstract

The invention relates to an unpartitioned case without an additional lid allowing audio or video cassettes, or compact discs, to be stored. It consists of two superposed hexahedra 1, 2, whose lateral faces are right-angled trapezia 3. The two hexahedra have an open face 9 through cassettes 11 or discs 11 are inserted. The two hexahedra 1, 2 are joined by a hinge 10 allowing one of the hexahedra 1, 2 to be folded down over the other, and the case to be closed. A strip of foam 12 glued to the inside of each hexadron 1, 2 acts as a spring, ensuring the holding of the cassettes 11 or discs 11.

Description

La présente invention concerne un coffret destiné au r-angement de cassettes audio, vidéo ou disques compacts. Ce rangement s'effectue traditionnellement dans des contenants en forme de mallettes, de coffrets a tiroir ou encore de cubes pivotant autour d'un axe central; ces divers réceptacle présentent tous des inconvénlents:
1) Lorsqu'on les transporte alors qu'ils sont a moitie pleins, les cassettes ont tendance à s'entre-cho4uer et a se renverser. Pour remédier à cela, les fabricants cloisonnent l'intérieur des coffrets, ce qui implique un surplus de matériaux dans la fabrication, un poids accru et une perte d'espace.The present invention relates to a box for the r-angement of audio cassettes, video or compact discs. This storage is traditionally done in containers in the form of briefcases, drawer cabinets or cubes pivoting about a central axis; these various receptacles all have drawbacks:
1) When transported when they are half full, the cassettes tend to clutter and tilt. To remedy this, the manufacturers are partitioning the interior of the cabinets, which implies a surplus of materials in the manufacture, an increased weight and a loss of space.

2) Le plus souvent, les coffrets à cassettes sont munis de couvercles, ce qui représente une dépense supplémentaire en matériaux. De plus, le couvercle représente un gêne pour l'accès direct aux cassettes. Seuls les cubes pivotant assurent une exposition visuelle et un acces facile lors du choix de la cassettes; mais l'absence de fermeture expose les cassettes à la poussière et ne permet en outre pas de les transporter. 2) Most often, cassette cases have lids, which represents an additional expense in materials. In addition, the lid is an inconvenience for direct access to the cassettes. Only swivel cubes provide visual exposure and easy access when choosing cassettes; but the absence of closure exposes the cassettes to dust and also does not allow to transport them.

La présente invention permet de pallier des inconvénients. The present invention overcomes disadvantages.

Le dessin illustré par la figure 1, selon une vue perspective, représente le coffret constitué de deux hexaèdres (1) (2) égaux superposés ayant pour faces latérales deux trapézes rectangles (3) identiques reposant sur leur grande base(4). La face inférieure(5) de chaque hexaèdre relie les grandes bases(9,) des trapézes(3); la face supérieur(6) relie les petites bases(7 > ; la face postérieure(S est perpendiculaire aux faces inférieure(5) et supérieure(6); la face antérieure 9) non encore définie, est la sixiéme face des hexaèdres et se distingue des autres faces en ce qu'elle reste ouverte, c'est- å-dire non concrétisée par un matériau.The drawing illustrated in FIG. 1, according to a perspective view, represents the box consisting of two superposed equal hexahedrons (1) (2) having, for side faces, two identical rectangular trapezes (3) resting on their large base (4). The lower face (5) of each hexahedron connects the large bases (9,) of the trapezes (3); the upper face (6) connects the small bases (7), the posterior face (S is perpendicular to the lower (5) and upper (6) faces, the anterior face (9) not yet defined, is the sixth face of the hexahedrons and distinguishes from other faces in that it remains open, that is to say not concretized by a material.

Les deux hexaedres(1)(2) reposent sur leur grande base(4) et sont superposés de tell sorte que les 2 faces antérieures (9)(ouvertes) sont située sur le même plan. Un dispositif d'articulation(10) unit les deux arêtes en contact, a savoir pour i 'hexaédre supérieur (1): @ 'arête Irférieure de la face antérieure(9), et pour l'hexaédre inférieur(2): l'arête supèrieure de la face antérieure(9). race å cette articulation < 10 > , comme le montre la figure 3. il est possible de faire basculer vers l'avant l'hexaèdre supérieure1) dont la face antérieure(9) vient épouser celle de l'hexaèdre inférieur(2), et de refermer ainsi sur lui-même le coffret qui apparait alors comme un parallélépipéde rectangle, chaque hexaedret 1 (2! faisant a la fois fonction de réceptacle pour cassettes ou disques et de couvercle du coffret. The two hexahedrons (1) (2) rest on their large base (4) and are superimposed so that the 2 front faces (9) (open) are located on the same plane. A hinge device (10) joins the two edges in contact, namely for the upper hexahedron (1): the lower edge of the anterior face (9), and for the lower hexahedron (2): upper edge of the anterior face (9). race å this articulation <10>, as shown in Figure 3. It is possible to tilt forward the upper hexahedron1) whose anterior face (9) comes to marry that of the lower hexahedron (2), and to close thus on itself the cabinet which then appears as a parallelepiped rectangle, each hexaedret 1 (2! doing both function receptacle for cassettes or disks and cabinet cover.

Les cassettes(11) ou disques compacts(11) sont disposés verticalement à l'intérieur de chaque hexaèdre(1)(2). Elles ou ils sont maintenus droit, quel que soit leur nombre, grace a une bande de mousse élastique(12) collée sur la face infé- rieure(5) interne de chaque hexaèdre(1)(2). Une très légère pression exercée sur la mousse(12) permet de placer ou retirer une cassette ou un disque. The cassettes (11) or compact discs (11) are arranged vertically inside each hexahedron (1) (2). They or they are held upright, regardless of their number, thanks to an elastic band of foam (12) glued on the inner lower face (5) of each hexahedron (1) (2). A very slight pressure exerted on the foam (12) makes it possible to place or remove a cassette or a disc.

Trois dimensions des hexaèdres(1)(2) sont imposées par les cassettes(11) ou les disques compacts(11) : a) la hauteur interne égale la hauteur d'une cassette(11) ou d'un disque(11) plus i 'épaisseur de la mousse(12) lorsqu'elle est comprimée par la cassette(l) ou le disque(li > . b) La somme de la plus grande profondeur(correspondant à la grande base(4) des trapèzes latéraux(3) et la plus petite profondeur (correspondant à la petite base(7) des trapézes latéraux(3)
doit être légèrement plus grande(O,3 cm environs) que la somme de la longeur des deux petites côtés d'une cassette(ll > ou d'un disque compact(11). c) La longeur de la petite basent: : des trapèzes latéraux(3) est la moitié de celle de la grande base(4) ou bien légèrement plus longue en vue d'obtenir la stabilité quand les deux hexaèdres(1)(2) se superposent.Three dimensions of the hexahedrons (1) (2) are imposed by the cassettes (11) or the compact discs (11): a) the internal height equals the height of a cassette (11) or a disc (11) plus the thickness of the foam (12) when it is compressed by the cassette (1) or the disc (b) (b) The sum of the greatest depth (corresponding to the large base (4) of the lateral trapeziums (3) ) and the smallest depth (corresponding to the small base (7) of the lateral trapezes (3)
should be slightly larger (about 0.3 cm) than the sum of the length of the two short sides of a cassette (11> or a compact disc (11) c) The length of the small base: lateral trapezoids (3) is half that of the large base (4) or slightly longer in order to obtain stability when the two hexahedrons (1) (2) are superimposed.

La longeur de chaque hexaèdre(1)(2), dont depend le nombre de cassettes ou disques que l'on peut ranger, peut être fixée ad libitum. The length of each hexahedron (1) (2), on which depends the number of cassettes or discs that can be stored, can be fixed ad libitum.

Le coffret peut être réalisé en bois, métal, matière plastique acrylique ou carton. The box can be made of wood, metal, acrylic plastic material or cardboard.

La figure 3, composée de 4 dessins successifs, montre comment, dans le choix du carton, il est possible de confectionner aisément le coffret par simple pliage d'une feuille de carton préalablement découpée aux dimensions voulues.  Figure 3, consisting of 4 successive drawings, shows how, in the choice of cardboard, it is possible to easily make the box by simply folding a cardboard sheet previously cut to the desired dimensions.
