For this purpose, the object of the invention is a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped box or drawer unit provided with at least one drawer, characterized in that its free top surface has a continuous or discontinuous peripheral edge projecting from the outside. outwardly upwardly relative to said box and arranged to cooperate interlocking with the lower part of an identical box.15 The upper peripheral edge of the box according to
l'invention permet de maintenir les objets posés sur le caisson ou, lorsqu'on désire construire une colonne, de stabiliser l'empilement grâce à l'emboîtement de la portion20 inférieure du caisson, bien entendu démunie d'éventuelles roulettes. the invention makes it possible to maintain the objects placed on the box or, when it is desired to build a column, to stabilize the stack thanks to the interlocking of the lower portion of the box, of course without any wheels.
Avantageusement, la surface intérieure à ladite bordure est Advantageously, the inner surface at said border is
striée, cette surface constituant alors avec la bordure un25 réceptacle à courrier. striated, this surface then constituting with the border a mail receptacle.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, According to a preferred embodiment of the invention,
ladite bordure périphérique continue ou discontinue est d'une seule pièce avec une surface plane formant fond et30) comportant des moyens de montage, tels que des trous de passage de vis, sur la surface supérieure d'un caisson. said continuous or discontinuous peripheral edge is in one piece with a flat bottom surface (30) having mounting means, such as screw holes, on the upper surface of a box.
L'invention a en conséquence également pour objet un dispositif de transformation d'un caisson constitué par une35 surface sensiblement plane entourée d'une bordure périphérique supérieure continue ou discontinue et munie de moyens de montage, tels que des trous de passage de vis, sur la surface supérieure d'un caisson, ledit dispositif étant agencé pour coopérer à emboîtement avec la partie The invention therefore also relates to a device for transforming a box consisting of a substantially flat surface surrounded by a continuous or discontinuous upper peripheral edge and provided with mounting means, such as screw holes, on the upper surface of a box, said device being arranged to co-operate with the part
inférieure d'un caisson identique.bottom of an identical box.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la The invention will be well understood on reading the
description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en following description of an exemplary embodiment, in
référence au dessin annexé dans lequel: la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective explosée d'un caisson et d'un dispositif de transformation selon un exemple de réalisation préféré de l'invention la figure 2 est une vue schématique en perspective explosée d'une colonne constituée de deux caissons et d'un dispositif de transformation selon la figure 1 et15 1 is an exploded schematic perspective view of a caisson and a transformation device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is an exploded schematic perspective view of FIG. a column consisting of two boxes and a transformation device according to FIG.
la figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'une portion de bord du dispositif de transformation des figures 1 et 2. Figure 3 is a sectional view of an edge portion of the transformation device of Figures 1 and 2.
Dans la forme de réalisation de l'invention représentée au dessin, un caisson 1 peut être muni d'un dispositif de transformation 2 démontable. Il est cependant également du domaine de l'invention de prévoir que le dispositif de transformation 2 est monté à demeure sur le caisson 1 ou un caisson (non représenté) dont la surface supérieure25 comporte les caractéristiques de la présente invention, la face supérieure du caisson étant alors aménagée d'origine à In the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, a box 1 may be provided with a removable transformation device 2. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to provide that the transformation device 2 is permanently mounted on the caisson 1 or a caisson (not shown) whose upper surface comprises the characteristics of the present invention, the upper face of the caisson being then converted from

Le caisson 1 comprend des tiroirs et peut, de manière The box 1 includes drawers and can, so
optionnelle, être muni de roulettes (non représentées) permettant un déplacement aisé. optional, be provided with wheels (not shown) for easy movement.
Dans l'exemple représenté, un dispositif de transformation 2 est muni d'une bordure périphérique continue supérieure 3, 4 et d'une bordure périphérique continue inférieure 5. La portion frontale 4 de la bordure supérieure est légèrement plus basse que le reste de la bordure 3, afin de former, avec un fond 6 du dispositif de transformation 2, l'équivalent d'un réceptacle à courrier. Le fond 6 comporte des nervures 7 sur sa surface supérieure et est muni de In the example shown, a transformation device 2 is provided with an upper continuous peripheral edge 3, 4 and a lower continuous peripheral edge 5. The front portion 4 of the upper edge is slightly lower than the rest of the border 3, to form, with a bottom 6 of the processing device 2, the equivalent of a mail receptacle. The bottom 6 has ribs 7 on its upper surface and is provided with
quatre trous 8.four holes 8.
Les dimensions de la bordure périphérique supérieure 3, 4 correspondent à celles de la périphérie extérieure de la base 9 du caisson 1 de manière que, lorsqu'un caisson 1' (figure 3) identique au caisson 1, est gerbé dessus, sa base 9' s'emboîte dans la bordure périphérique supérieure 3, 4 du dispositif de transformation 2. Pour renforcer le maintien des deux caissons 1, 1' ainsi gerbes l'un sur l'autre, il peut être avantageux de prévoir sur tout ou partie de la périphérique interne de la bordure supérieure 3, 4 des saillies de serrage et/ou d'incliner cette bordure 3, 4 vers l'intérieur. Il est également possible de fixer le dispositif de transformation 2 à la base 9' du caisson 1' en utilisant des vis traversant les trous 8 du fond 6 et des trous de cette base 8', par exemple les trous de fixation d'axes de roulettes.20 Les dimensions de la bordure périphérique inférieure 5 sont choisies telles que cette bordure 5 s'emboite sur la face supérieure 10 du caisson 1. Le dispositif de transformation 2 peut être fixé au caisson 1 par des vis ou des boulons traversant les trous 8 du fond 6 et des trous 11 ménagés dans la face supérieure 10 du caisson 1, lesquels trous 11 The dimensions of the upper peripheral edge 3, 4 correspond to those of the outer periphery of the base 9 of the box 1 so that, when a box 1 '(Figure 3) identical to the box 1, is stacked above, its base 9 'fits in the upper peripheral edge 3, 4 of the transformation device 2. To reinforce the maintenance of the two boxes 1, 1' and sheave one on the other, it may be advantageous to provide all or part of the inner peripheral of the upper edge 3, 4 of the clamping projections and / or to incline this edge 3, 4 inwards. It is also possible to fix the transformation device 2 to the base 9 'of the box 1' by using screws through the holes 8 of the bottom 6 and holes of this base 8 ', for example the fixing holes of the pins. The dimensions of the lower peripheral edge 5 are chosen such that this edge 5 fits on the upper face 10 of the casing 1. The transformation device 2 can be fixed to the casing 1 by screws or bolts passing through the holes. 8 of the bottom 6 and holes 11 formed in the upper face 10 of the box 1, which holes 11
