Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un conteneur à usages multiples. The present invention relates to a multipurpose container.
On connaît déjà de nombreux types de conteneurs, mais aucun de ceux-ci ne permet ae satisfaire à ae multiples usages tout en étant de conception simple. Many types of containers are already known, but none of them allows for multiple uses while being of simple design.
Le conteneur à usages multipies selon ia présente invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu il comprend deux bacs en forme de parallélépipèdes rectangles, comportant chacun quatre côtés et un fond, i'un de ces bacs pouvant etre introduit dans i autre, ie bac intérieur ayant à cet effet des dimensions inférieures à celles du bac extérieur, lesdits bacs comportant chacun au moins deux côtés carré munis d orifices en regard permettant l'introduction d'une barre traversant lesdits bacs. The multi-purpose container according to the present invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises two rectangular parallelepiped-shaped containers, each having four sides and a bottom, one of which can be introduced into another, the inner container having for this purpose dimensions smaller than those of the outer tank, said bins each having at least two square sides provided with orifices for the introduction of a bar passing through said bins.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du conteneur selon l inventlon, chacun des orifices destinés à l'introduction de la barre est de section ronde avec une échancrure latérale, et ia barre, qui est de section correspondante, comporte une extrémité pliée à angle droit, son autre extrémité comportant un ergot saillant perpendiculairement dans la même direction que ladite extrémité pliée. According to an additional characteristic of the container according to the inventlon, each of the orifices intended for the introduction of the bar is of round section with a lateral notch, and the bar, which is of corresponding section, has one end bent at right angles, the other end having a protruding pin perpendicularly in the same direction as said folded end.
Le conteneur à usages multiples selon l'invention peut être utilisé dans de nombreuses configurations, le bac extérieur pouvant servir de couvercle au bac intérieur, ou inversement, le bac intérieur pouvant être utilisé en tiroir coulissant dans le bac extérieur, ia barre servant par exemple à verrouiller les bacs dans une configuration donnée. The multipurpose container according to the invention can be used in many configurations, the outer tray can serve as a lid to the inner tray, or vice versa, the inner tray can be used as a sliding drawer in the outer tray, the bar serving for example to lock the bins in a given configuration.
Les bacs peuvent être réaiisés en carton fort mais ils sont de préférence en matière plastique ou en métal siéger du type aluminium, de manière à permettre égaiement le stockage de liquides par exempie. The trays can be made of strong cardboard but they are preferably made of plastic or aluminum-type metal, so as to also allow the storage of liquids for example.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de ia présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de ia description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.
Dans le dessin annexé
- la figure l représente une vue en perspective, en éclaté et avec arraché partiel d'un conteneur selon l'invention.In the attached drawing
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view, exploded and partially torn off a container according to the invention.
- les figures 2a à 2h représentent des vues schématiques du même conteneur àans aifférentes configurations. FIGS. 2a to 2h show schematic views of the same container in different configurations.
Si on se réfère à la figure l on peut voir qu'un conteneur selon l'invention comporte deux bacs i et 2, de forme parallélépipèdique. With reference to FIG. 1, it can be seen that a container according to the invention comprises two bins i and 2, of parallelepipedal shape.
Le bac l comporte un fond lû, deux côtés carrés 1l et 12 en regard et deux grands cotés 13 et 14 également en regard. The tray 1 has a bottom 10, two square sides 11 and 12 opposite and two large sides 13 and 14 also facing.
De même ie bac 2 comporte un fond 20, non visible sur la figure, deux côtés carrés 21 et 22 en regard et deux grands côtés en regard 23 et 24. Similarly the tray 2 comprises a bottom 20, not visible in the figure, two square sides 21 and 22 opposite and two long sides facing 23 and 24.
Le bac i peut être introduit dans ie bac 2, ses dimensions étant inférieures à celles du bac 2. Tray i can be introduced into tray 2, its dimensions being smaller than those of tray 2.
Il y a lieu de remarquer que les bacs i et 2 sont de forme parallélépipédique, mais pourraient également être de forme cubique. It should be noted that the bins i and 2 are of parallelepipedal shape, but could also be of cubic shape.
Les côtés carrés 21 et 22 du bac extérieur 2 comportent chacun un orifice, respectivement 25 et 26, en regard l'un de l'autre, positionné chacun sur la médiane verticale du côté, non loin du bord du bac 2, ces orifices 25 et 26 étant de forme sensiblement ronde et prolongés chacun latéralement, en direction du grand côté 24, par une échancrure 27. The square sides 21 and 22 of the outer container 2 each have an orifice, respectively 25 and 26, facing each other, each positioned on the vertical median side, not far from the edge of the tray 2, these orifices 25 and 26 being of substantially round shape and each extended laterally, towards the long side 24, by a notch 27.
Les côtés carrés ll et i2 du bac intérieur i comportent chacun plusieurs orifices, respectivement 15 et 16, en regard deux à deux, alignés sur la médiane verticale du côté carré 11, respectivement 12. Les orifices 15 et 16 sont de forme sensiblement ronde, et prolongés chacun latéralement, en airection du grand côté 14, par une échancrure 17. The square sides ll and i2 of the inner tray i each comprise a plurality of orifices, respectively 15 and 16, facing two by two, aligned on the vertical median of the square side 11, respectively 12. The orifices 15 and 16 are substantially round in shape, and each extended laterally, in airection of the long side 14, by a notch 17.
Les côtés carrés Il et 12 du bac l comportent également chacun, latéralement, du coté du grand côté 13, un orifice 18, respectivement 19, semblable aux orifices 15 et 16, positionné sur la médiane horizontale du côté ll, respectivement 12, et prolongé par une échancrure 17 dirigée vers le bord du bac 1. The square sides 11 and 12 of the tray 1 also each have, laterally, on the side of the long side 13, an orifice 18, respectively 19, similar to the orifices 15 and 16, positioned on the horizontal median of the side 11, respectively 12, and extended by a notch 17 directed towards the edge of the tray 1.
Enfin, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte une barre 3 de section ronde, d'un diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre des orifices 15, 16, 18, 19, 25 et 26, d'une longueur légèrement supérieure à la longueur des grands côtés 23 et 24 du bac 2, àont une extrémité, 30, est pliée à angle droit, l'autre extrémité, 31, comportant un ergot 32, d'une longueur légèrement inférieure à la longueur des échancrures 17 et 27, et saillant perpendiculairement à la barre 3, parallèlement à 1 extrémité pliée 30. Finally, the device according to the invention comprises a bar 3 of round section, a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the orifices 15, 16, 18, 19, 25 and 26, a length slightly greater than the length of the long sides 23 and 24 of the tray 2, one end, 30, is folded at right angles, the other end, 31, having a lug 32, a length slightly less than the length of the notches 17 and 27, and salient perpendicular to the bar 3, parallel to the folded end 30.
L exlriémlté 31 comporte également un orifice diamétral 33 permettant, après introduction de la barre 3 dans les bacs 1 et 2, d'y introduire un moyen de blocage tel qu'un cadenas. Exlriémlté 31 also comprises a diametrical orifice 33 allowing, after introduction of the bar 3 in the bins 1 and 2, to introduce a locking means such as a padlock.
On peut également voir que le grand côté 13 du bac 1 comporte sensiblement centralement deux orifices 130 de grandes dimensions. It can also be seen that the long side 13 of the container 1 substantially substantially comprises two orifices 130 of large dimensions.
La barre 3 permet de verrouiller les deux bacs entre eux, en l'introduisant dans les différents orifices de ceux-ci, les différentes échancrures 17 et 27 autorisant le passage de l'ergot 32. Lors du relàchement de la barre j, l'extrémité 30 pliée se positionne verticalement par gravité, l'ergot 32 se positionnant de la même manière interdisant l'extraction de la barre 3 des orifices, les échancrures 17 et 27 étant horizontales. The bar 3 makes it possible to lock the two bins together, by introducing it into the different orifices thereof, the different indentations 17 and 27 allowing the passage of the lug 32. When releasing the bar j, the folded end is positioned vertically by gravity, the pin 32 is positioned in the same way prohibiting the extraction of the bar 3 orifices, the notches 17 and 27 being horizontal.
Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 2a à 2h on peut voir quelques configurations et utilisations permises par le conteneur selon l'invention. Referring now to Figures 2a to 2h we can see some configurations and uses allowed by the container according to the invention.
Sur la figure 2a, le bac 1 est encastré dans le bac 2, le fond 10 contre le fond 20, cette configuration permettant d'obtenir un conteneur renforcé. In Figure 2a, the tray 1 is embedded in the tray 2, the bottom 10 against the bottom 20, this configuration to obtain a reinforced container.
Sur la figure 2b, le bac 1 est encastré retourné dans le bac 2, on obtient ainsi un volume protégé. In Figure 2b, the tray 1 is recessed returned to the tray 2, thereby obtaining a protected volume.
Sur la figure 2c, la configuration est ia même que précédemment, mais ia barre 3 est introduite successivement dans l'orifice 25 du bac 2, les orifices inférieurs 15 et 16 du bac 1, puis i orifice 26 du bac 2, ce qui permet de verrouiller cette configuration. In FIG. 2c, the configuration is the same as before, but the bar 3 is introduced successively into the orifice 25 of the tank 2, the lower orifices 15 and 16 of the tank 1, then the orifice 26 of the tank 2, which allows to lock this configuration.
En introduisant ia barre 3 dans des orifices 15 et 16 autres que les orifices inférieurs, on peut obtenir un volume protégé plus grand, comme cela est visible sur la figure 2h. By introducing the bar 3 into orifices 15 and 16 other than the lower openings, a larger protected volume can be obtained, as can be seen in FIG. 2h.
Ces deux configurations permettent notamment le transport dobDets volumineux et/ou fragiles, par exemple une plante, ou bien le transport d'animaux domestiques, l'aération étant alors assurée par les orifices 130. These two configurations make it possible in particular to transport bulky and / or fragile objects, for example a plant, or the transport of domestic animals, the aeration then being provided by the orifices 130.
Sur la figure 2d, seul le bac 2 est utilisé, la barre 3 est introduite dans les orifices 25 et 26, faisant ainsi office d'anse. On peut également, dans une configuration non représentée, utiliser les deux bacs 1 et 2 encastrés l'un dans l'autre comme représenté à la figure 2a, et engager la barre 3 dans les orifices 25 et 26 et les orifices supérieurs 15 et 16. In Figure 2d, only the tray 2 is used, the bar 3 is inserted into the orifices 25 and 26, thus acting as a handle. It is also possible, in a configuration not shown, to use the two bins 1 and 2 recessed into one another as shown in FIG. 2a, and to engage the bar 3 in the orifices 25 and 26 and the upper orifices 15 and 16. .
Sur la figure 2e, ie bac 2 est couché. sur le côté 23 et le bac 1 y est encastré, son côté 14 contre le fond 20, le bac 1 faisant alors office de tiroir, les orifices 130 servant à son manoeuvrement. In Figure 2e, the tray 2 is lying. on the side 23 and the tray 1 is embedded therein, its side 14 against the bottom 20, the tray 1 then acting as a drawer, the orifices 130 serving for its maneuverement.
Sur ia figure 2f, les bacs 1 et 2 sont disposés de manière identique, et la barre 3 verrouille ia position en étant introduite successivement dans les orifices 25, 18, 19 et 26. In FIG. 2f, the containers 1 and 2 are arranged identically, and the bar 3 locks the position by being introduced successively into the orifices 25, 18, 19 and 26.
Sur ia figure 2g, ie bac i est introduit dans le bac 2 comme sur ia figure 2a, mais la barre 3 est introduite dans les orifices 25 et 2o, en passant dans i!un des orifices 15 et 16, permettant d'obtenir un conteneur surélevé. In FIG. 2g, the tray i is introduced into the tray 2 as in FIG. 2a, but the bar 3 is inserted into the orifices 25 and 2o, passing through one of the orifices 15 and 16, making it possible to obtain a raised container.
Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à ia description qui précède d'un de ses modes de réalisation, susceptible de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. It goes without saying that the present invention can not be limited to the above description of one of its embodiments, capable of undergoing a number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
Il est par exempie possible d'utiliser un ou plusieurs bacs supplémentaires, de dimensions adéquates, encastrabies i'un dans l'autre et dans le bac intérieur 1, éventuellement non traversables par la barre 3, le verrouillage s'effectuant alors uniquement au niveau du bac extérieur 2 et du bac intérieur 1. Ce mode de mise en oeuvre peut être utilisé soit pour renforcer les bacs, soit pour permettre le transport simultané d'un certain nombre de conteneurs avec le minimum d'encombrement. It is possible for example to use one or more additional bins, of adequate dimensions, recessed into each other and into the inner tray 1, possibly not traversable by the bar 3, the locking then being effected only at the level of outer tray 2 and inner tray 1. This embodiment can be used either to strengthen the bins, or to allow the simultaneous transport of a number of containers with the minimum of space.
