Description

Ensemble support/porte multid irectionnelle  Support / multidirectional door assembly
La présente invention concerne de manière générale un ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle et plus généralement un ou plusieurs ensembles support/porte multidirectionnelle destinés à être installés dans un meuble de rangement. The present invention generally relates to a multidirectional support / door assembly and more generally to one or more support / multidirectional door assemblies intended to be installed in a storage unit.
II est connu dans l'art antérieur des dispositifs, plus particulièrement des dispositifs de rangement, comprenant un compartiment logé dans un support et un panneau fixé à ce support et apte à fermer ce compartiment. De manière générale, ces panneaux ont la forme d'une porte reliée au support au moyen d'une ou plusieurs charnières de sorte à permettre une rotation de la porte par rapport au support autour d'un axe de pivotement passant par la ou les charnières. Grâce à ce type de dispositif, on peut cacher le contenu du compartiment et même éventuellement verrouiller le compartiment. En contrepartie, ce système présente notamment l'inconvénient d'avoir des charnières du type axe/moyeu fixées au support et à la porte qui imposent un sens d'installation limitant de ce fait la modularité du dispositif de rangement et compliquant sa fabrication. De plus ce type de charnière nécessite généralement un démontage en deux étapes, une première étape de rotation de la porte suivie d'une étape de déverrouillage de la charnière par un mouvement vertical, dans les plus simples des cas, ce qui complique le processus d'installation, désinstallation ou remplacement de porte sur le support.  It is known in the prior art devices, more particularly storage devices, comprising a compartment housed in a support and a panel attached to the support and able to close this compartment. In general, these panels have the shape of a door connected to the support by means of one or more hinges so as to allow a rotation of the door relative to the support about a pivot axis passing through the hinge or hinges . With this type of device, it can hide the contents of the compartment and possibly even lock the compartment. In return, this system has the particular disadvantage of having hinges of the type axis / hub fixed to the support and the door which impose a direction of installation thereby limiting the modularity of the storage device and complicating its manufacture. In addition, this type of hinge generally requires disassembly in two stages, a first stage of rotation of the door followed by a step of unlocking the hinge by a vertical movement, in the simplest of cases, which complicates the process of installing, uninstalling or replacing the door on the support.
Enfin, certains meubles de rangement présentent des compartiments répartis sur toute leur façade, à savoir du sommet au pied. La mise en place de portes sur ces compartiments peut très vite se compliquer lors de la mise en place des charnières qui doivent être disposées de sorte à permettre un confort d'utilisation maximum. En effet, une porte couvrant un compartiment au sommet d'un meuble s'ouvrira de préférence vers le haut pour permettre un accès facile au compartiment, alors qu'une porte couvrant un compartiment au pied d'un meuble s'ouvrira de préférence vers le bas pour les mêmes raisons. Finally, some cabinets have compartments distributed throughout their facade, namely from top to bottom. The establishment of doors on these compartments can very quickly become complicated when the establishment of the hinges which must be arranged so as to allow maximum user comfort. Indeed, a door covering a compartment at the top of a piece of furniture will preferably open upwards to allow easy access to the compartment, while a door covering a compartment at the foot of a piece of furniture will preferably open downwards for the same reasons.
Un but de la présente invention est de répondre aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus et en particulier, tout d'abord, de fournir un ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle présentant une modularité améliorée et facile à fabriquer.  An object of the present invention is to meet the drawbacks mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to provide a multidirectional support / door assembly having improved modularity and easy to manufacture.
Pour cela un premier aspect de l'invention concerne un ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle incluant un support, une porte agencée pour fermer une ouverture, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre au moins trois paires d'aimants chaque paire d'aimants comprenant un aimant monté sur le support et un aimant monté en vis-à-vis sur la porte, agencées de sorte à fournir deux axes de rotation à la porte par rapport au support, et en ce que les paires d'aimants sont agencées deux à deux pour maintenir la porte en place sur le support lors d'une rotation d'ouverture ou de fermeture de la porte. Ainsi, l'utilisation de charnière de type exclusivement magnétique permet un maintien robuste de la porte sur le support tout en permettant une ouverture selon des directions différentes de cette porte due à l'absence de verrouillage mécanique du type axe/moyeu.  For this purpose, a first aspect of the invention concerns a multidirectional support / door assembly including a support, a door arranged to close an opening, characterized in that it furthermore comprises at least three pairs of magnets each pair of magnets comprising a magnet mounted on the support and a magnet mounted opposite the door, arranged to provide two axes of rotation to the door relative to the support, and in that the pairs of magnets are arranged two to two to hold the door in place on the support during an opening or closing rotation of the door. Thus, the use of hinges of exclusively magnetic type allows a robust maintenance of the door on the support while allowing an opening in different directions of this door due to the absence of mechanical locking of the type axis / hub.
De manière avantageuse, un coin de la porte est évidé pour former un moyen de préhension. De cette manière, la porte peut facilement s'ouvrir selon les deux axes de rotation tout en diminuant le poids de la porte.  Advantageously, a corner of the door is hollowed out to form a gripping means. In this way, the door can easily open along both axes of rotation while reducing the weight of the door.
Avantageusement, l'ensemble comprend une quatrième paire d'aimants agencée de sorte à fournir deux axes de rotation supplémentaires à la porte. Ainsi, la porte peut s'ouvrir selon quatre directions différentes, améliorant ainsi sa modularité.  Advantageously, the assembly comprises a fourth pair of magnets arranged so as to provide two additional axes of rotation to the door. Thus, the door can open in four different directions, thus improving its modularity.
De manière avantageuse, la porte comprend un moyen de préhension en son centre. De cette manière, l'utilisateur peut facilement l'utiliser.  Advantageously, the door comprises a gripping means at its center. In this way, the user can easily use it.
Avantageusement, le moyen de préhension est un trou formé dans la porte. Ainsi, on allège en même temps le poids de la porte diminuant ainsi les contraintes sur les aimants. Selon une réalisation particulièrement intéressante l'ouverture et la porte ont une forme carrée. Ainsi, la porte peut être utilisée selon quatre orientations différentes et elle peut être réversible. Advantageously, the gripping means is a hole formed in the door. Thus, at the same time, the weight of the door is reduced, thereby reducing the stresses on the magnets. In a particularly interesting embodiment the opening and the door have a square shape. Thus, the door can be used in four different orientations and it can be reversible.
Avantageusement, l'ensemble comprend huit paires d'aimants, chaque paire d'aimants comprenant un aimant monté sur le support et un aimant monté en vis-à-vis sur la porte, agencés de sorte à fournir quatre axes de rotation différents à la porte. De cette manière, la porte est robustement fixée au support bien que toujours de manière détachable.  Advantageously, the assembly comprises eight pairs of magnets, each pair of magnets comprising a magnet mounted on the support and a magnet mounted opposite the door, arranged to provide four different axes of rotation to the door. In this way, the door is firmly attached to the support although still releasably.
De manière avantageuse, le support comprend en outre au moins un ergot agencé de sorte à venir en butée contre une face de la porte en position fermée. Ainsi, lors de la fermeture, on évite un choc avec le contenu.  Advantageously, the support further comprises at least one lug arranged to abut against a face of the door in the closed position. Thus, when closing, it avoids a shock with the content.
Un second aspect de l'invention concerne un support pour l'ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle du premier aspect de l'invention comprenant au moins trois aimants ou agencée pour recevoir trois aimants.  A second aspect of the invention relates to a support for the support / multidirectional door assembly of the first aspect of the invention comprising at least three magnets or arranged to receive three magnets.
Un troisième aspect de l'invention concerne une porte pour l'ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle du premier aspect de l'invention comprenant au moins trois aimants ou agencée pour recevoir trois aimants.  A third aspect of the invention relates to a door for the support / multidirectional door assembly of the first aspect of the invention comprising at least three magnets or arranged to receive three magnets.
Un quatrième aspect de l'invention concerne un meuble de rangement comprenant au moins un ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelle selon le premier aspect de l'invention  A fourth aspect of the invention relates to a storage cabinet comprising at least one support / multidirectional door assembly according to the first aspect of the invention.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et illustré par les dessins annexés, dans lesquels :  Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which:

La figure 1A représente un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention dans lequel un ensemble support/porte multidirectionnelie inclue un support 1 comprenant une ouverture 11 de forme carrée ou rectangulaire et une porte 2 agencée pour fermer cette ouverture 11 et ayant donc la même forme que l'ouverture 11. Il est important de noter que la forme n'est pas limitée à celles-ci et peut être différente, par exemple hexagonale. Par « fermer cette ouverture », il est entendu « au moins partiellement fermer cette ouverture ». En effet, un jeu est présent entre le périmètre de la porte 2 et le support 1. La taille de ce jeu est principalement dépendante de l'épaisseur de la porte 2 et peut être modifiée en fonction du type de porte 2 utilisée.  FIG. 1A represents a preferred embodiment of the invention in which a multidirectional support / door assembly includes a support 1 comprising an opening 11 of square or rectangular shape and a door 2 arranged to close this opening 11 and therefore having the same shape. that opening 11. It is important to note that the shape is not limited to these and can be different, for example hexagonal. By "closing this opening", it is understood to "at least partially close this opening". Indeed, a game is present between the perimeter of the door 2 and the support 1. The size of this game is mainly dependent on the thickness of the door 2 and can be changed depending on the type of door 2 used.
Comme représenté, l'ensemble comprend quatre paires d'aimants 31 , 32, 41, 42, 51 , 52, 61 , 62, chaque paire d'aimants comprenant un aimant 31 , 41 , 51 , 61 monté sur le support 1 et un aimant 32, 42, 52, 62 monté en vis-à- vis sur la porte 2, agencées de sorte à fournir quatre axes de rotation X, Y, X', Y' à la porte 2 par rapport au support 1. Pour cela, les quatre aimants 32, 42, 52, 62 montés sur la porte 2 sont situés sur les arêtes supérieures et inférieures de la porte, et les quatre aimants 31 , 41 , 51 , 61 montés sur le support 1 sont agencés sur les faces supérieures et inférieures intérieures du support 1 de sorte à faire face aux aimants de la porte 2.  As shown, the assembly comprises four pairs of magnets 31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52, 61, 62, each pair of magnets comprising a magnet 31, 41, 51, 61 mounted on the support 1 and a magnet 32, 42, 52, 62 mounted opposite the door 2, arranged to provide four axes of rotation X, Y, X ', Y' to the door 2 relative to the support 1. For that the four magnets 32, 42, 52, 62 mounted on the door 2 are located on the upper and lower edges of the door, and the four magnets 31, 41, 51, 61 mounted on the support 1 are arranged on the upper faces. and lower interior of the support 1 so as to face the magnets of the door 2.
De préférence, les quatre axes de rotation X, X' et Y, Y' sont parallèles deux à deux et consistent, dans le cas d'espèce, en deux axes de rotation verticaux X et X', un du côté gauche de la porte et un du côté droit de la porte pour une rotation dite horizontale de la porte, et en deux axes horizontaux Y et Y', un au sommet de la porte et l'autre au pied de celle-ci pour un mouvement de pivotement vers le haut ou vers le bas de la porte respectivement. Un aspect essentiel est que les paires d'aimants sont agencées deux à deux pour maintenir la porte 2 en place sur le support 1 lors d'une rotation. Ainsi, il n'y a pas de liaison mécanique, c'est-à-dire du type axe-moyeu, et chaque liaison étant exclusivement magnétique, elle est assurée par une paire d'aimants qui peut donc être rompue par un utilisateur. Afin d'assurer un force magnétique suffisante pour permettre une ouverture/fermeture de la porte sans détachement, les aimants doivent être choisis en fonction du poids de la porte. Par exemple, pour une porte de 300 grammes, des aimants néodyme cylindriques de 10 mm de longueur et de 5 mm de diamètre sur la porte et des aimants néodyme de 8,5 mm de longueur et de 8 mm de diamètre avec une force d'attraction de 1200 grammes suffisent à fournir une force d'attraction suffisante. L'invention n'est cependant pas limitée à cela. Preferably, the four axes of rotation X, X 'and Y, Y' are parallel in pairs and consist, in this case, in two vertical axes of rotation X and X ', one on the left side of the door and one on the right side of the door for a so-called horizontal rotation of the door, and in two axes horizontal Y and Y ', one at the top of the door and the other at the foot thereof for pivotal movement up or down the door respectively. An essential aspect is that the pairs of magnets are arranged in pairs to hold the door 2 in place on the support 1 during a rotation. Thus, there is no mechanical connection, that is to say the axis-hub type, and each link being exclusively magnetic, it is provided by a pair of magnets which can be broken by a user. In order to ensure sufficient magnetic force to allow opening / closing of the door without detachment, the magnets must be chosen according to the weight of the door. For example, for a gate of 300 grams, cylindrical neodymium magnets of 10 mm length and 5 mm diameter on the door and neodymium magnets of 8.5 mm in length and 8 mm in diameter with a force of attraction of 1200 grams are enough to provide a sufficient pulling force. The invention is however not limited to this.
Dans ce mode de réalisation préféré, la porte comprend un moyen de préhension 2" en son centre sous la forme d'un évidement ou d'une poignée. Il est ainsi possible pour un utilisateur d'ouvrir la porte selon quatre mouvements de pivotement, ou direction de rotation, différents, par exemple, vers la gauche, la droite, le haut et le bas, comme montré sur les figures 1 B à 1 E.  In this preferred embodiment, the door comprises a gripping means 2 "at its center in the form of a recess or a handle It is thus possible for a user to open the door in four pivoting movements, or direction of rotation, different, for example, to the left, right, up and down, as shown in Figures 1B to 1 E.
Alternativement à ce mode de réalisation, un autre mode de réalisation est représenté dans la figure 4 où les paires d'aimants peuvent être des aimants billes montés dans les coins de la porte et du support. De plus, par paire d'aimants il est également entendu paire de dipôles, de sorte que les aimants du support et/ou de la porte, par exemple les deux aimants situés sur la face intérieure supérieure du support, peuvent être remplacés par une bande magnétique continue. Dans ce cas, cette bande doit avoir une longueur similaire à l'écartement des aimants pour permettre un centrage de la porte qui, elle, portera deux aimants. Encore alternativement, deux paires d'aimants situés sur un même côté, c'est-à-dire les deux aimants sur la face intérieure supérieure du support et les deux aimants situés sur l'arête supérieure de la porte peuvent être chacun remplacés par une bande magnétique, respectivement, les deux bandes magnétiques ayant une longueur identique et se faisant face. Avec cette option, il est possible d'avoir un axe de rotation mobile le long de la bande magnétique. Alternatively to this embodiment, another embodiment is shown in Figure 4 where the pairs of magnets may be ball magnets mounted in the corners of the door and the support. In addition, pair of magnets is also understood pair of dipoles, so that the magnets of the support and / or the door, for example the two magnets located on the upper inner face of the support, can be replaced by a strip continuous magnetic. In this case, this band must have a length similar to the spacing of the magnets to allow a centering of the door which will carry two magnets. Again alternatively, two pairs of magnets located on the same side, that is to say the two magnets on the face the upper interior of the support and the two magnets on the upper edge of the door may each be replaced by a magnetic tape, respectively, the two magnetic strips having the same length and facing each other. With this option, it is possible to have an axis of rotation movable along the magnetic strip.
Selon un second mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 2, un coin de la porte 1 est évidé et présente un moyen de préhension 2'. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'ensemble ne comprend plus que trois paires d'aimants agencées de manière semblable à trois des quatre paires d'aimants du premier mode de réalisation, la quatrième étant absente dans le support et remplacée par l'évidement dans la porte. Dans ce mode de réalisation, les trois paires d'aimants sont agencées de sorte à fournir deux axes de rotation à la porte 2 par rapport au support 1. De préférence, ces axes sont perpendiculaires l'un à l'autre, l'un étant horizontal Y et l'autre vertical X.  According to a second embodiment shown in Figure 2, a corner of the door 1 is recessed and has a gripping means 2 '.
