FR2776817A1 - Housing for a commercial vehicle chronometer/tachograph. - Google Patents

Abstract

The housing includes a front cover (1), a rear cover (2), an inside removable part (3) fitted with means for retaining one or more tachograph discs. Each disc is arranged adjacent to the two opposite faces of the removable part so that the housing in the closed position is approximately the same thickness as a compact disc housing, double or simple format.

Description

-1 i2776817 housing for tachograph discs The present invention

  relates to a housing that would be used to contain one or more tachograph records in perfect condition before and after several uses by drivers of heavy goods vehicles (goods transport, passenger transport). Generally they are transported in their original cardboard box, in a flexible plastic bag designed for this purpose, but after several uses deteriorate quickly or placed in the pockets of users' clothes, are crumpled, torn, unfit for reading optical, while knowing that these discs must be kept a year by the company and also during police control so as to have clean disks tidy and especially to possess the discs of the current and previous week in a single simple handling and practice.A better presentation, or even an advertising medium a rigorous ranking are some of the assets to be covered by

this invention.

  Also known is the dual compact disk format A2> single format or the single box for receiving one or more compact discs (CD) video disc, sound or memory disk (CD ROM)

  the most common diameter is 12 cm.

  But these boxes are not able to receive one or more records tachograph. The object of the invention is to modify

  2ó parts of compact case compact discs in simple format.

  One or more tachograph discs could be inserted

  blank or used without damage to them.

  From a single format compact disc case with its removable inner part, it would be possible to insert one or more tachograph discs without the latter being damaged during the closing or opening. These changes can also be

  made to the case of compact single discs.

  Chamfer the inner back side hinge of the lid to reduce

  the thickness of the edge so that it does not interfere with the closing.

  Swing the two side walls of the cover, the base and the removable part so that when closing all the indented parts are juxtaposed without the tachograph discs being damaged. Modify the central axis of the removable part which must maintain the or discs when opening or closing. Preferably, they must be

  maintained by small paws or lugs.

  According to an advantageous variant, use is made of a compact format double disc pack (C D) patent M F-R 2683663 which is

  make the changes above.

  The advantage of the double housing lies in the possibility of being able on one side of the internal removable part to superpose several used tachograph discs and on the other side, to keep the X41 blank discs or the previous week. These dimensions and configurations of the package of compact discs doubles in simple format or

  simple housing are already standardized at the industrial level.

  An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example on a single format compact disk package, 2 <> knowing that all these modifications can be made to the single package. Figure (1) is a perspective view of a housing for two

  Compact discs in the format of the simple case in the open position.

  Figure (2) is an exploded view showing the separated parts

of the box.

  Figures (3) and (4) show the modified box to receive

  one or more chrono-tachograph disks seen in FIG.

  It will be appreciated that this embodiment results in modifying a dual compact disk package having more or less the same size 3% as a standard housing (not shown) in order to receive one or more

  tachograph discs figure (5).

  Referring to drawings (3) and (4), it comprises a front cover portion (1) a rear cover portion (2) and an interior member

  removable (3) tray-shaped or support.

  The parts (1) and (2) are preferably made of a transparent plastic material, but they can also be of a non-transparent or opaque material as well as the removable inner element (3). On the part of the lid, chamfer (4) the inner rear hinge side (7) to reduce the thickness of the edge (5) and the t, two side walls (6) by indentation (8). Swing (12) the two side walls (11) of the back of the housing (2). Cut (10) the two side walls (9) of the removable inner tray (3) so that all these

  parts are positioned in perfect coordination when closing the case.

  Modify the central axis (13) of the removable part (3) on each side to

  ability to maintain one or more tachograph discs.

  The parts of the front cover (1) and the rear cover (2) surround

  almost completely the edges of the removable support member (3).

  The lateral dimensions of the removable support (3) are smaller than the corresponding lateral dimensions of the lid / front (1) and rear (2) parts in such a way that when the housing is closed the edges of the lid parts extend beyond edges of the support member. First, the housing design allows the use of the

  standard size for printed inserts.

  It is therefore not necessary to design and print new inserts thus allowing the use of manufacturing machines

  classic, for an already existing cost.

  In the second place, it is not necessary to reduce the thickness of the plastic material from which the parts of the housing are made with respect to

  3. a single format compact disc package.

  Thirdly, when the housing is fully opened, the tachograph disks (FIG. 5) which are not exposed are protected by the removable rear part (3) and the rear cover (2). This part can also be used as that reserve of disks (figure 5) virgins or others. In addition, it is not necessary to invert the entire housing to access the tachograph disks (Figure 5) or reserve or chronologically ordered disks. In the embodiment, the housing opens in two parts without separating. The removable part (3) can open -0o either from the right or from the left depending on the design of the housing. In Figure (4) we can see the opening of the removable part (3) to the left.
