«CAISSE À OUTILS MODULAIRE AVEC TIROIRS AMOVIBLES A ACCROCHAGE / DECROCHAGE RAPIDE»"MODULAR TOOL BOX WITH REMOVABLE DRAWERS FOR QUICK HANGING / HANGING"
* * * * ** * * * *
DOMAINE D'APPLICATION La présente invention concerne une caisse à outils modulaire à accrochage rapide. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un système de caisse à outils constituée de plusieurs casiers tiroirs empilables de façon modulaire pouvant être assemblés les uns aux autres par de simples opérations d'accrochage. ' Les casiers sont destinés au transport d'outils et de composants en tout genre; la caisse est facile à transporter jusqu'à son endroit d'utilisation. Cette invention peut s'appliquer dans le domaine de l'industrie pour la production de caisses de rangement en tout genre pour le bricolage. ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUE L'utilisation de caisses de rangement comprenant des casiers avec une ouverture aisée de l'extérieur et destinées au rangement d'outils et de pièces en tout genre, indispensables au personnel préposé à l'entretien ou aux interventions sur les sites de mise en œuvre de dispositifs et d'installations est bien connue. Tel est le cas, par exemple, des plombiers ou des électriciens qui doivent disposer d'une quantité relativement élevée de quincaillerie et de consommables ainsi que de petites pièces, pour remplacer par exemple les pièces usées d'une installation ou celles ne fonctionnant pas. De telles caisses de rangement sont également utilisées dans les familles pour ranger les outils et le nécessaire pour le bricolage. Ces caisses de rangement sont normalement constituées d'un corps rigide, généralement en matière plastique ou métallique, avec des poignées ou une sangle pour les porter à l'épaule. Néanmoins, leurs dimensions globales ne peuvent pas être modifiées. Bien qu'étant extrêmement utiles pour le transport du matériel nécessaire, ces caisses conviennent mal au rangement du matériel strictement nécessaire, offrant parfois des encombrements inutiles et pénalisants en ce qui concerne la maniabilité. Les solutions déjà proposées prévoient la fixation de compartiments modulaires constitués de simples casiers ; ainsi, les dimensions de la caisse de rangement peuvent être modifiées selon les besoins. Néanmoins, un inconvénient est représenté par le fait que ces compartiments modulaires nécessitent d'astuces spéciales pour être assemblés entre eux et pour être séparés. Ils se fixent généralement les uns aux autres à l'aide de vis ou de crochets et nécessitent donc d'outils supplémentaires pour l'assemblage complet de la caisse de rangement ou pour sa dépose. Par ailleurs, l'assemblage improvisé des compartiments empêche l'utilisateur de reconnaître immédiatement les objets qui sont rangés dans un casier donné, si ce n'est de mémoire en cas d'utilisation répétée et continue.FIELD OF APPLICATION The present invention relates to a modular tool box with quick coupling. The present invention relates more particularly to a toolbox system consisting of several modular stackable drawers which can be assembled to one another by simple hooking operations. 'The lockers are intended for the transport of tools and components of all kinds; the box is easy to transport to its place of use. This invention can be applied in the field of industry for the production of storage boxes of all kinds for DIY. STATE OF THE ART The use of storage boxes comprising lockers with an easy opening from the outside and intended for the storage of tools and parts of all kinds, essential for the personnel responsible for maintenance or interventions on the sites of implementation of devices and facilities is well known. This is the case, for example, of plumbers or electricians who must have a relatively large quantity of hardware and consumables as well as small parts, to replace for example the worn parts of an installation or those not functioning. Such storage boxes are also used in families for storing tools and necessities for DIY. These storage boxes normally consist of a rigid body, generally made of plastic or metal, with handles or a strap to carry them on the shoulder. However, their overall dimensions cannot be changed. Although extremely useful for transporting the necessary equipment, these boxes are ill-suited to storing the strictly necessary equipment, sometimes offering unnecessary space and penalizing in terms of maneuverability. The solutions already proposed provide for the attachment of modular compartments consisting of simple lockers; thus, the dimensions of the storage box can be modified as required. However, a drawback is represented by the fact that these modular compartments require special tricks to be assembled together and to be separated. They are generally fixed to each other using screws or hooks and therefore require additional tools for the complete assembly of the storage box or for its removal. Furthermore, the improvised assembly of the compartments prevents the user from immediately recognizing the objects which are stored in a given rack, if not from memory in the event of repeated and continuous use.
DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTION Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une caisse à outils avec casiers à tiroirs modulaires à accrochage et décrochage rapide afin de supprimer ou de réduire sensiblement les inconvénients susmentionnés. La présente invention permet également d'ajouter une caisse à outils à l'ensemble des casiers, le tout restant modulaire à accrochage et décrochage rapide. Cet ensemble est facile à fabriquer d'où le prix compétitif et bon marché . Ceci est possible grâce à une caisse à outils modulaire à accrochage et décrochage rapide ayant les caractéristiques décrites à la revendication principale. Les revendications dépendantes indiquent des formes de réalisation de l'invention intéressantes. Conformément à l'invention, la caisse à outils modulaire à accrochage et décrochage rapide comprend au moins un casier comportant un tiroir assemblé de manière à coulisser sur un cadre équipé de dispositifs d'accrochage et un système de décrochage rapide à d'autres cadres identiques empilables de manière à former une structure modulaire unique. Conformément à l'invention, les dispositifs d'accrochage et de décrochage rapide sont constitués de dents d'accrochage ou de chevilles concernant la partie latérale inférieure ou supérieure de chaque cadre et de leurs languettes respectives situées à l'intérieur d'ouvertures opportunes, positionnées dans la partie latérale supérieure ou inférieure de chaque cadre, lesdites languettes comprenant des saillies réalisées de manière à faciliter une poussée manuelle sur elles-mêmes pour effectuer l'opération de décrochage. En place, les dents ou les chevilles d'un cadre viennent se loger dans les fentes respectives du cadre au- dessous en exerçant une pression sur les languettes vers l'extérieur de la caisse. Par la simple pression manuelle depuis la partie supérieure d'un cadre, on obtient donc l'introduction à déclic des dents ou des chevilles dans les fentes du cadre au-dessous et ce, sans besoin d'outils. Conformément à un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les parois latérales courtes du cadre de chaque casier présentent des creux pouvant accueillir des plaques ou des étiquettes portant une représentation et/ou des caractères alphanumériques permettant de reconnaître aussitôt et sans erreur le contenu du casier correspondant. Selon un autre mode de réalisation intéressante, la paroi frontale visible de chaque casier dispose d'une poignée pour la préhension de la part de l'utilisateur de manière à extraire le casier du cadre pour accéder à 1' intérieur. Pour assurer un transport aisé, la caisse peut en outre comporter des accessoires de différent type, comme par exemple des roulettes à appliquer au cadre au-dessous de toute la pile, un couvercle pour le cadre situé au sommet de la pile de casiers, une poignée fixée au cadre supérieur et en saillie dans la zone centrale de manière à pouvoir transporter la caisse comme s'il s'agissait d'une valise et une poignée latérale, saillant du sommet de la caisse, solidaire d'un montant destiné à supporter l'axe des roulettes et à apporter une rigidité à la structure modulaire . Avantageusement, la caisse est réalisée en matière plastique . rigide obtenue par moulage et résistante aux chocs.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a toolbox with modular drawers with quick-release and quick-release drawers in order to eliminate or substantially reduce the abovementioned drawbacks. The present invention also makes it possible to add a toolbox to all of the lockers, the whole remaining modular with quick coupling and unhooking. This set is easy to manufacture, hence the competitive and inexpensive price. This is possible thanks to a modular toolbox with quick coupling and unhooking having the characteristics described in the main claim. The dependent claims indicate interesting embodiments of the invention. According to the invention, the modular tool box with quick coupling and unhooking comprises at least one rack comprising a drawer assembled so as to slide on a frame equipped with hooking devices and a system for quick unhooking to other identical frames. stackable to form a single modular structure. In accordance with the invention, the fastening and quick release devices are made up of fastening teeth or pegs on the lower or upper lateral part of each frame and their respective tabs located inside appropriate openings, positioned in the upper or lower lateral part of each frame, said tabs comprising projections made so as to facilitate manual pushing on themselves to perform the stall operation. In place, the teeth or the pegs of a frame are housed in the respective slots of the frame below by exerting pressure on the tabs towards the outside of the body. By simple manual pressure from the top of a frame, we therefore obtain the introduction to clicks teeth or pegs into the slots in the frame below without the need for tools. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the short side walls of the frame of each rack have recesses which can accommodate plates or labels bearing a representation and / or alphanumeric characters making it possible to recognize the contents of the rack immediately and without error corresponding. According to another interesting embodiment, the visible front wall of each locker has a handle for gripping on the part of the user so as to extract the locker from the frame to access the interior. To ensure easy transport, the box can also include accessories of different types, such as castors to be applied to the frame below the entire stack, a cover for the frame located at the top of the stack of racks, a handle fixed to the upper frame and protruding in the central area so as to be able to transport the body as if it were a suitcase and a side handle, protruding from the top of the body, integral with an upright intended to support the axis of the casters and bring rigidity to the modular structure. Advantageously, the body is made of material plastic. rigid obtained by molding and impact resistant.

DESCRIPTION D'UNE FORME DE RÉALISATION Sur les figures,, le signe de référence 10 indique en général une caisse et plus particulièrement une caisse à outils modulaire 10 à accrochage et décrochage rapide pour l'éventuelle recomposition conformément aux nécessités en fonction du contenu. Celle-ci est dotée d'un élément de fermeture 13 servant de vitrine lors de l'achat; ce système, de type inviolable, est réalisé avec des crochets spéciaux qui empêchent l'ouverture de chaque casier pendant l'exposition dans les magasins. Le système ne peut être ouvert qu'en forçant et en détruisant ledit élément de fermeture 13. La caisse 10 comprend au moins un casier comportant un cadre 11 destiné au logement coulissant de son tiroir 12 pouvant être surmonté par ledit élément de fermeture 13. Le cadre 11 présente un encadrement de base 14 de forme quadrangulaire constituée d'une traverse longue à l'avant 15 et d'une traverse longue à l'arrière 16, opposée et reliée à la précédente par deux traverses latérales courtes 17. Chaque traverse latérale courte 16 dispose d'un panneau 18, pointant en direction sensiblement perpendiculaire au cadre 14 et présentant un creux 19 sur sa surface 20 tournée vers l'extérieur. Pour augmenter la rigidité et la résistance de l'encadrement de base 14, les traverses longues 15 et 16 peuvent être reliées, au niveau de leur portion centrale, par une charpente réticulaire 21. La traverse frontale 15 peut par ailleurs disposer, dans sa partie centrale tournée vers l'extérieur du cadre 11, d'une nervure saillante 22 pour rendre le tout plus robuste. Chaque extrémité 18 dispose d'un secteur 23 d'une hauteur inférieure au panneau 18 correspondant et apte à créer dans la partie intérieure du cadre 11 une fente ou une encoche 27. Chaque traverse 16, 17 dispose de montants 25 sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'encadrement de base 14, chacune présentant son extrémité en saillie munie d'un butoir 26 tourné vers l'extérieur du cadre 11. Les montants 25 sont situés au niveau des sommets de l'encadrement de base 14 et le long de la traverse arrière 16 afin d'en assurer une distribution uniforme. Conformément à l'invention, la zone inférieure de chaque panneau 18, proche de chaque sommet du cadre 14 et disposée au-dessous d'un butoir 26 correspondant, comporte une encoche 27 fermée par une languette en saillie 28 en place pouvant être écartée vers l'extérieur du cadre 11.. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3, l'extrémité libre de la languette 28 présente une protubérance 29, tournée vers l'extérieur du cadre 11, et elle est orientée vers sa traverse latérale courte 17. Les fentes 27 et les respectives languettes 28 sont également présentes sur le côté de la traverse arriére 16 (qui n'est pas représentée sur les figures) toujours au niveau des montants 25 et des butoirs 26. Sur la figure 4, le cadre 11 d'un casier donné peut être accroché et fixé à un cadre 11 identique d'un autre casier placé au-dessous en le' poussant jusqu'à ce que chaque butoir 26 corresponde à son encoche 27 respective. Lors de l'assemblage, le butoir 26 interpénètre l'encoche 27 respective depuis 1 ' intérieur -du cadre 11 en écartant la languette 28 vers l'extérieur. Ainsi, les cadres 11 des casiers sont fixés à l'aide de dispositifs d'accouplement à déclic extrêmement pratiques et fiables. En référence à la figure 5, on peut noter qu'en exerçant une légère pression depuis l'extérieur sur la protubérance 29 de la languette 28, le butoir 26 peut être poussé vers l'intérieur du cadre 11, libérant ainsi le moyen d'accrochage pour permettre la séparation des parties. En référence à la figure 1, on peut voir que le tiroir 12 présente une configuration en boîte à plan quadrangulaire, correspondant au plan de l'encadrement de base 14 du cadre 11, accessible depuis le haut. Au niveau de sa partie . centrale tournée vers l'extérieur du tiroir 12, la paroi frontale longue 30 dispose d'une poche 31 destinée à accueillir une cuvette 32 encastrable dans celle-ci et servant de poignée pour tirer le tiroir 12 en position d'ouverture lorsqu'il est monté sur le cadre .11 du casier. Chaque paroi latérale courte 33 est munie d'une baguette supérieure 34, saillant vers l'extérieur, servant à être logée dans la fente 24 respective de manière à ce que les tétons 23 puissent soutenir le tiroir 12 et à en permettre le défilement en position d'ouverture ou de fermeture . La baguette supérieure 34 concerne également la paroi arrière longue 35 du tiroir 12 afin de constituer une butée de fin de course en se trouvant, en position d'ouverture maximale du tiroir, contre les tétons 42 prévus sur le cadre 11 du casier. La paroi frontale 30 .dispose par ailleurs de brins d'extrémité 36 destinés à assurer la fin de course en position de fermeture du tiroir 12 en butant contre les tétons 23. La surface de base 37 du tiroir 12 présente une rigidité et une résistance aptes à supporter le poids des objets éventuellement présents dans le tiroir 12. L'élément de fermeture ou couvercle 13 présente un cadre quadrangulaire 38 dont le pourtour a la même configuration que le cadre 11; ce cadre 38 est creux, de manière à être interpénétré, en place, par les butoirs 26 des montants 25 saillant du cadre 11. La partie centrale du couvercle 13, délimitée par le cadre 38, peut être constituée d'une plaque transparente 39. Chaque creux 19 est destiné à loger une plaque 40 avec des représentations et/ou des indications alphanumériques indiquant le contenu de chaque casier 12. Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 6 et 7, la caisseDESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT In the figures, the reference sign 10 generally indicates a box and more particularly a modular tool box 10 with quick coupling and unhooking for possible recomposition in accordance with the requirements depending on the content. The latter is provided with a closing element 13 serving as a showcase during the purchase; this tamper-proof system is made with special hooks that prevent the opening of each locker during the exhibition in the stores. The system can only be opened by forcing and destroying said closing element 13. The box 10 comprises at least one rack comprising a frame 11 intended for the sliding housing of its drawer 12 which can be surmounted by said closing element 13. The frame 11 has a base frame 14 of quadrangular shape consisting of a long cross member at the front 15 and a long rear cross member 16, opposite and connected to the previous one by two short side cross members 17. Each short side cross member 16 has a panel 18, pointing in the direction substantially perpendicular to the frame 14 and having a recess 19 on its surface 20 facing outwards. To increase the rigidity and resistance of the base frame 14, the long crosspieces 15 and 16 can be connected, at their central portion, by a reticular frame 21. The front crosspiece 15 can also have, in its part central facing outward of the frame 11, a projecting rib 22 to make the whole more robust. Each end 18 has a sector 23 of a height less than the corresponding panel 18 and capable of creating in the interior part of the frame 11 a slot or a notch 27. Each crosspiece 16, 17 has uprights 25 substantially perpendicular to the base frame 14, each having its projecting end provided with a stopper 26 turned towards the outside of the frame 11. The uprights 25 are located at the tops of the base frame 14 and along the rear cross member 16 to ensure uniform distribution. According to the invention, the lower zone of each panel 18, close to each vertex of the frame 14 and arranged below a corresponding stopper 26, has a notch 27 closed by a projecting tongue 28 in place which can be moved towards outside the frame 11 .. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the free end of the tongue 28 has a protuberance 29, turned towards the outside of the frame 11, and it is oriented towards its lateral cross member short 17. The slots 27 and the respective tongues 28 are also present on the side of the rear cross member 16 (which is not shown in the figures) always at the level of the uprights 25 and of the buffers 26. In FIG. 4, the frame 11 of a given locker can be hung and fixed to an identical frame 11 of another locker placed below by pushing it until each stopper 26 corresponds to its respective notch 27. During assembly, the stopper 26 interpenetrates the respective notch 27 from the interior of the frame 11 by spreading the tongue 28 outwards. Thus, the frames 11 of the lockers are fixed using extremely practical and reliable click coupling devices. With reference to FIG. 5, it can be noted that by exerting a slight pressure from the outside on the protrusion 29 of the tongue 28, the stopper 26 can be pushed towards the inside of the frame 11, thus freeing the attachment means to allow the separation of the parts. With reference to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the drawer 12 has a configuration in a box with a quadrangular plane, corresponding to the plane of the base frame 14 of the frame 11, accessible from the top. At the level of its part. central facing outward of the drawer 12, the long front wall 30 has a pocket 31 intended to accommodate a bowl 32 which can be embedded in it and which serves as a handle for pulling the drawer 12 into the open position when it is mounted on the frame .11 of the locker. Each short side wall 33 is provided with an upper strip 34, projecting outwards, serving to be housed in the respective slot 24 so that the pins 23 can support the drawer 12 and allow it to scroll in position. opening or closing. The upper strip 34 also relates to the long rear wall 35 of the drawer 12 in order to constitute an end-of-travel stop by being, in the position of maximum opening of the drawer, against the pins 42 provided on the frame 11 of the rack. The front wall 30 also has strands end 36 intended to ensure the end of travel in the closed position of the drawer 12 by abutting the pins 23. The base surface 37 of the drawer 12 has a rigidity and a resistance capable of supporting the weight of the objects possibly present in the drawer 12. The closing element or cover 13 has a quadrangular frame 38 whose periphery has the same configuration as the frame 11; this frame 38 is hollow, so as to be interpenetrated in place by the bumpers 26 of the uprights 25 projecting from the frame 11. The central part of the cover 13, delimited by the frame 38, may consist of a transparent plate 39. Each hollow 19 is intended to accommodate a plate 40 with representations and / or alphanumeric indications indicating the content of each rack 12. As can be seen in Figures 6 and 7, the box
10 peut se composer de plusieurs casiers qui, avec leurs tiroirs 12 respectifs, sont empilables de manière à constituer une unique structure modulaire selon les exigences de l'utilisateur. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure-10 may consist of several compartments which, with their respective drawers 12, can be stacked so as to constitute a single modular structure according to the requirements of the user. In the embodiment shown in the figure-
7, l'encadrement de base 14 de chaque cadre 11 est renforcé par une grille 41 ou un plateau entièrement fermé, de manière à empêcher aux pièces contenues dans le tiroir de bouger . La caisse à outils à tiroirs 10 peut comporter plusieurs accessoires: des roulettes à appliquer au cadre au-dessous de toute la pile constituant la caisse; un couvercle avec une poignée 50, fixée au casier 11 supérieur, saillant dans sa zone centrale de manière à transporter la caisse 10 comme s'il s'agissait d'une valise (voir figure 5); - une poignée latérale, saillant du sommet de la caisse, solidaire d'un montant destiné à supporter l'axe des roulettes et à conférer une certaine rigidité à la structure modulaire. Auparavant, l'invention a été décrite avec une référence à un mode de réalisation particulier; néanmoins, il est clair que l'invention est susceptible de subir de nombreuses variations qui rentrent dans son cadre, dans les limites des équivalences techniques . 7, the base frame 14 of each frame 11 is reinforced by a grid 41 or a fully closed tray, so as to prevent the parts contained in the drawer from move. The toolbox with drawers 10 can include several accessories: rollers to be applied to the frame below the entire stack constituting the box; a cover with a handle 50, fixed to the upper rack 11, projecting in its central zone so as to transport the box 10 as if it were a suitcase (see FIG. 5); - A side handle, projecting from the top of the body, secured to an upright intended to support the axis of the rollers and to impart a certain rigidity to the modular structure. Previously, the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment; nevertheless, it is clear that the invention is susceptible to numerous variations which fall within its scope, within the limits of technical equivalences.
