Abstract

A lifter, designed to raise the contents of a container (6) as it is emptied to facilitate the removal of remaining items, consists of a platform (1) which is shaped to fit in a standard container and is connected by traction springs (2, 3) to clips (4, 5) which engage with the container's upper edges (7, 8). The platform can be fitted with traction springs which are stronger at the rear of the container than at the front so that the platform is tilted towards the front of the container as it is emptied, giving easier access to the remaining items inside it. The platform, springs and clips are easily fitted and removed and can be supplied, for example, in kit form.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la remontée automatique des objets ou produits d'un conteneur pendant son vidage. The present invention relates to a device for the automatic lifting of objects or products from a container during emptying.

On connait des conteneurs qui sont les uns dépourvus de moyens permettant la remontée automatique des objets pendant le vidage (conteneurs ordinaires), les autres étant munis de ces moyens intégrés à leur structure (conteneurs élévateurs), ce qui oblige l'exploitant à porter un choix sur l'un ou l'autre genre de conteneur à adopter, radicalement différents entre eux. Containers are known which are devoid of means allowing the automatic recovery of objects during emptying (ordinary containers), the others being provided with these means integrated into their structure (lifting containers), which obliges the operator to carry a choice on one or the other kind of container to adopt, radically different from each other.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. I1 comporte en effet, comme caractéristique principale, des moyens permettant de le mettre en place dans un conteneur ordinaire de modèle existant, et de le retirer de ce conteneur (amovibilité du dispositif), sans intervenir sur la structure du conteneur, qui peut ainsi être utilisé à volonté soit comme conteneur ordinaire, soit comme conteneur élévateur par simple adjonction de ce dispositif. The device according to the present invention overcomes this drawback. I1 indeed comprises, as main characteristic, means making it possible to place it in an ordinary container of existing model, and to remove it from this container (removable from the device), without intervening on the structure of the container, which can thus be used at will either as an ordinary container or as a lifting container by simple addition of this device.

Une autre caractéristique du dispositif est de permettre l'inclinaison de son support de charge vers la face avant du conteneur, devant laquelle se tient l'utilisateur procédant au prélèvement d'objets, ce qui facilite ce prélèvement, surtout en fin de vidage du conteneur (glissement des objets vers l'avant du conteneur). Une autre caractéristique du dispositif est autre pliable, ou démontable en ses pièces constitutives, ce qui permet d'en réduire l'encombrement lorsqu'il se trouve hors d'un conteneur, et de le conditionner à l'état de kit, prêt à être installé après l'avoir déplié, ou après avoir assemblé ses pièces constitutives entre elles. Another characteristic of the device is to allow the tilting of its load support towards the front face of the container, in front of which the user carrying out the removal of objects stands, which facilitates this removal, especially at the end of emptying of the container (sliding objects towards the front of the container). Another characteristic of the device is another foldable, or removable in its constituent parts, which allows to reduce its size when it is outside a container, and to condition it in the state of kit, ready to be installed after having unfolded it, or after having assembled its constituent parts together.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un support de charge constitué par un plateau, auquel sont attachés des ressorts de traction, dont les extrémités supérieures sont fixées à des pièces de suspension qui se placent dans les parties hautes du conteneur à équiper, ces pièces étant adaptées à la configuration desdtes parties hautes. Lesdits ressorts de traction étant plue forts à l'arrière qu'à l'avant du plateau, cela entraine, pendant le prélèvement des objets ou produits supportés par le plateau, une remontée de ce plateau commençant par l'arrière de celui-ci, ce qui crée une inclinaison de ce plateiuvers l'avant du conteneur. According to a preferred embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises a load support constituted by a plate, to which tension springs are attached, the upper ends of which are fixed to suspension parts which are placed in the upper parts of the container to be fitted, these parts being adapted to the configuration of the high parts. Said tension springs being stronger at the rear than at the front of the plate, this causes, during the removal of the objects or products supported by the plate, a rise of this plate starting from the rear of the latter, which creates an inclination of this plateiuvers the front of the container.

La figure I ci-annexée illustre l'invention. Figure I attached illustrates the invention.

Tel qu'il est représenté sur cette figure, vu de face, le dispositif comporte un support de charge constitué par un plateau (1), auquel sont attachés des ressorts de traction (2) (3), dont les extrémités (boucles) supérieures sont fixées à des pièces de suspension, constituées par des crampons en forme de cavaliers (4) (5), qui s'accrochent sur le dessus des parois latérales du conteneur (6) à équiper, constituées par des planches (7) (8); les extrémités (boucles) inférieures des ressorts (2) (3) sont attachées à des pattes à oeil (9) (IO) liées au plateau (I), qui permettent, après avoir enlevé le dispositif du conteneur - soit le pliage du dispositif par rabattement des ressorts (2) (3), munis des crampons (4) (5), sur le plateau (I); - soit le détachement des ressorts (2) (3), afin de démon- ter le dispositif en ses pièces constitutives (I) (2)(3) (4) (5). As shown in this figure, seen from the front, the device comprises a load support constituted by a plate (1), to which are attached tension springs (2) (3), whose upper ends (loops) are fixed to suspension parts, constituted by studs in the form of jumpers (4) (5), which hang on the top of the side walls of the container (6) to be equipped, constituted by planks (7) (8 ); the lower ends (loops) of the springs (2) (3) are attached to eye lugs (9) (IO) linked to the plate (I), which allow, after removing the device from the container - either folding the device by folding the springs (2) (3), provided with the studs (4) (5), on the plate (I); - or the detachment of the springs (2) (3), in order to dismantle the device into its constituent parts (I) (2) (3) (4) (5).

Les ressorts (2) (3) sont entourés d'une gaine téléscopique, non représentée, qui évite le contact entre les ressorts et les objets ou produits déposés sur le plateau(I'.  The springs (2) (3) are surrounded by a telescopic sheath, not shown, which avoids contact between the springs and the objects or products deposited on the plate (I '.

Des variantes peuvent être apportées à ce mode de réalisation, notamment en ce qui concerne les pièces de suspension du dispositif, qui se placent dans les parties hautes du conteneur à équiper (verrouillage de sécurité de ces pièces), selon la configuration desdites parties hautes, cela sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Variants can be made to this embodiment, in particular with regard to the suspension parts of the device, which are placed in the upper parts of the container to be fitted (security locking of these parts), depending on the configuration of said upper parts, this without departing from the scope of the invention.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à équiper des conteneurs ordinaires (y compris les modèles pliables), afin de pouvoir les utiliser comme conteneurs élevateurs notamment dans les supermarchés. I1 peut aussi être utilisé dans des "caddies".  The device according to the invention is particularly intended to equip ordinary containers (including foldable models), in order to be able to use them as lifting containers, especially in supermarkets. It can also be used in "shopping carts".
