The belt is vertically supported on the pallet by its lower edge (9), and fixed to the pallet by a locking element (15), where the locking element is secured to one panel of the belt, and cooperates with an edge of the pallet to secure the belt on the pallet. The belt includes a movable manual gripping element e.g. bar, to cooperate with the locking element so that the belt is released from the pallet by the gripping element.

Description

La présente invention porte sur un container comprenant une ceinture montée de manière amovible sur une palette, la ceinture étant pourvue notamment de verrous de fixation à la palette.The present invention relates to a container comprising a belt removably mounted on a pallet, the belt being provided in particular with latches for attachment to the pallet.

Art antérieurPrior art

On connaît des containers, comprenant une palette et une ceinture formée de plusieurs panneaux définissant un volume de chargement, la ceinture étant en appui vertical sur la palette par son bord inférieur et fixée à la palette par au moins un élément de verrouillage solidaire d'un panneau de la ceinture et coopérant avec un bord de la palette pour immobiliser la ceinture sur la palette selon la direction verticale.Containers are known, comprising a pallet and a belt formed of several panels defining a loading volume, the belt being in vertical support on the pallet by its lower edge and fixed to the pallet by at least one locking element integral with a belt panel and cooperating with an edge of the pallet to immobilize the belt on the pallet in the vertical direction.

Néanmoins, le verrouillage et déverrouillage des éléments de verrouillage nécessite pour l'opérateur de se baisser jusqu'à la palette, autant de fois que nécessaire pour déverrouiller ou verrouiller l'ensemble des verrous (de deux à quatre par ceinture), ce qui est fastidieux pour l'opérateur et demande du temps.Nevertheless, the locking and unlocking of the locking elements requires the operator to bend down to the pallet, as many times as necessary to unlock or lock all locks (two to four per belt), which is tedious for the operator and takes time.

La présente demande a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en tout ou partie.The present application aims to remedy these drawbacks in whole or in part.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

A cet effet, il est proposé un container comprenant une palette et une ceinture formée de plusieurs panneaux définissant un volume de chargement, la ceinture étant en appui vertical sur la palette par son bord inférieur et fixée à la palette par au moins un élément de verrouillage solidaire d'un panneau de la ceinture et coopérant avec un bord de la palette pour immobiliser la ceinture sur la palette. Le container est caractérisé par le fait que la ceinture comporte au moins un organe de manoeuvre distant de l'élément de verrouillage configuré pour coopérer avec ledit élément de verrouillage en sorte que la ceinture est libérée de la palette par l'organe de manoeuvre.For this purpose, there is provided a container comprising a pallet and a belt formed of several panels defining a loading volume, the belt being in vertical support on the pallet by its lower edge and fixed to the pallet by at least one locking element secured to a panel of the belt and cooperating with an edge of the pallet to immobilize the belt on the pallet. The container is characterized in that the belt comprises at least one operating member remote from the locking element configured to cooperate with said locking element so that the belt is released from the pallet by the actuating member.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, ledit élément de verrouillage est agencé pour que, dans son engagement à la palette, la ceinture est verrouillée automatiquement à la palette, de préférence par son propre poids.According to another aspect of the invention, said locking element is arranged so that, in its engagement with the pallet, the belt is automatically locked to the pallet, preferably by its own weight.

L'organe de manoeuvre est avantageusement disposé dans une poignée de la ceinture, étant par exemple un élément de préhension manuel mobile, en particulier un élément annulaire ou analogue, relié à ladite partie de verrouillage.The operating member is advantageously arranged in a handle of the belt, being for example a movable manual gripping element, in particular an annular element or the like, connected to said locking portion.

Ladite poignée peut être disposée à hauteur d'homme, par exemple à 0,6 à 0,9 mètre du sol, sur la ceinture en position dressée, de sorte que l'opérateur n'ait plus à se baisser pour manoeuvrer la ceinture et la fixer ou la libérer relativement à la palette.Said handle can be placed at man's height, for example at 0.6 to 0.9 meters from the ground, on the upright belt, so that the operator no longer has to bend to maneuver the belt and fix it or release it relative to the pallet.

Avantageusement, lesdits élément de verrouillage, poignée et organe de manoeuvre sont montés dans un panneau de la ceinture en sorte de, au pliage et repliage de la ceinture à plat hors service, de ne pas faire saillie du panneau et donc de permettre un pliage à plat de la ceinture, sans perdre de volume de pliage à plat.Advantageously, said locking element, handle and operating member are mounted in a panel of the belt so as to fold and fold the belt flat out of service, not to project from the panel and thus to allow a folding to flat of the belt, without losing flat fold volume.

La ceinture comporte au moins deux poignées solidaires de deux panneaux opposés de la ceinture, de sorte que l'opérateur puisse manoeuvrer la ceinture de façon équilibrée avec ses deux mains.The belt has at least two handles integral with two opposite panels of the belt, so that the operator can maneuver the belt in a balanced way with both hands.

Avantageusement, le bord inférieur de la ceinture est reçu dans une rainure périphérique de la palette, ledit élément de verrouillage étant configuré pour coopérer avec ladite rainure pour fixer ou libérer la ceinture relativement à la palette.Advantageously, the lower edge of the belt is received in a peripheral groove of the pallet, said locking element being configured to cooperate with said groove to fix or release the belt relative to the pallet.

Plus particulièrement, ledit container comprend au moins deux éléments de verrouillage solidaires de deux panneaux opposés de la ceinture.More particularly, said container comprises at least two interlocking locking elements of two opposite panels of the belt.

Notamment, ledit élément de verrouillage comprend au moins une partie de verrouillage mobile agencée pour venir en appui contre un bord, par exemple en saillie, de la rainure périphérique et tenir la ceinture fixée à la palette ou libérer la ceinture de la palette.In particular, said locking element comprises at least one movable locking portion arranged to bear against an edge, for example projecting, of the peripheral groove and hold the belt attached to the pallet or release the belt from the pallet.

Avantageusement, ladite partie de verrouillage est mobile autour d'une charnière parallèle au bord inférieur de la ceinture.Advantageously, said locking portion is movable around a hinge parallel to the lower edge of the belt.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, ladite partie de verrouillage est disposée dans un logement, par exemple une découpe du panneau de ceinture, ménagé dans la ceinture.According to another characteristic, said locking portion is disposed in a housing, for example a cutout of the belt panel, formed in the belt.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, ledit élément de verrouillage comporte un moyen de rappel apte à maintenir la partie de verrouillage en appui contre un bord de la rainure périphérique.According to another feature, said locking element comprises a biasing means adapted to maintain the locking portion bearing against an edge of the peripheral groove.

De plus, ladite partie de verrouillage est avantageusement conformée pour s'escamoter à l'engagement de la ceinture, de préférence par son propre poids, dans la rainure périphérique, en sorte que la ceinture se fixe automatiquement à la palette dans son engagement de verrouillage dans la rainure périphérique. Ladite partie de verrouillage peut à cet effet comporter un profil, par exemple pourvu d'une rampe, apte à glisser sur le bord de la rainure périphérique pour permettre l'engagement de la partie de verrouillage dans la rainure.In addition, said locking portion is advantageously shaped to retract to the engagement of the belt, preferably by its own weight, in the peripheral groove, so that the belt automatically attaches to the pallet in its locking engagement in the peripheral groove.

Description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation de l'inventionDetailed description of an embodiment of the invention

La figure 1 montre un container 1 formé d'une ceinture 3 destinée à venir en appui vertical et fixation sur le plateau d'une palette 5. L'invention ne se limite pas à la fixation sur une palette mais pourrait concerner tout autre support, tel qu'un chariot à roulettes.The figure 1 shows a container 1 formed of a belt 3 intended to come in vertical support and fixing on the plate of a pallet 5. The invention is not limited to fixing on a pallet but could concern any other support, such as a cart with wheels.

La palette est de préférence réalisée en matière plastique de manière à assurer à la fois légèreté et robustesse.The pallet is preferably made of plastic so as to ensure both lightness and robustness.

La ceinture 3 comprend ici quatre panneaux 7 articulés les uns aux autres pour former un volume de chargement d'articles.The belt 3 here comprises four panels 7 articulated to each other to form a load volume of articles.

Les panneaux 7 sont avantageusement réalisés dans une seule plaque en matière plastique ou bien dans deux ou plusieurs plaques soudées entre elles, convenablement découpée et pliée. Par exemple, il peut s'agir d'une plaque dite alvéolaire, obtenue par extrusion de matière plastique et formée de deux feuilles planes de couverture espacées l'une de l'autre et reliées par des entretoises ménageant entre elles et les couvertures des alvéoles parallèles les unes aux autres. Une telle plaque est commercialisée sous la marque Akylux®. Ce matériau allie légèreté et rigidité selon la direction des alvéoles. Il peut s'agir aussi d'une plaque telle que commercialisée sous la marque Akyboard® comprenant deux feuilles espacées l'une de l'autre et reliées entre elles par des entretoises en forme de dômes, bulles ou de cylindres et obtenue par extrusion, thermoformage et soudage de feuilles entre elles.The panels 7 are advantageously made in a single plastic plate or in two or more plates welded together, suitably cut and folded. For example, it may be a so-called cellular plate, obtained by plastic extrusion and formed of two flat cover sheets spaced from one another and connected by struts between them and the covers of the cells. parallel to each other. Such a plate is marketed under the trademark Akylux®. This material combines lightness and rigidity in the direction of the cells. It can also be a plate as marketed under the trademark Akyboard® comprising two sheets spaced from each other and interconnected by spacers in the form of domes, bubbles or cylinders and obtained by extrusion, thermoforming and welding sheets together.

La ceinture 3 repose en appui vertical par son bord inférieur 9 (voir aussi les figures 2 et 3), en service, dans une rainure périphérique 11 formée autour du plateau 13 de la palette.The belt 3 rests vertically by its lower edge 9 (see also the Figures 2 and 3 ), in use, in a peripheral groove 11 formed around the plate 13 of the pallet.

La ceinture 3 est fixée à la palette par un moyen de fixation, lequel comprend un ensemble d'éléments de verrouillage 15 et poignées de manoeuvre 17 formant un moyen automatique de verrouillage et déverrouillage de la ceinture à la palette et constituant en verrouillage un container de l'invention.The belt 3 is fixed to the pallet by a fixing means, which comprises a set of locking elements 15 and operating handles 17 forming an automatic means of locking and unlocking the belt to the pallet and constituting in lock a container of the invention.

Lorsque la ceinture 3 est déverrouillée de la palette 5, au non usage du container, elle peut être repliée à plat occupant alors un volume minimal.When the belt 3 is unlocked from the pallet 5, the non-use of the container, it can be folded flat then occupying a minimum volume.

La ceinture 3 comporte ici deux poignées 17 solidaires de deux panneaux opposés 7 de la ceinture, ce qui permet à l'opérateur de monter ou démonter le container en agissant uniquement sur les deux poignées 17 de la ceinture et donc sans avoir à se baisser au niveau de la palette 5.The belt 3 here comprises two handles 17 integral with two opposite panels 7 of the belt, which allows the operator to assemble or dismount the container by acting only on the two handles 17 of the belt and therefore without having to bend at pallet level 5.

Le verrouillage de la ceinture 3 à la palette 5 en engagement vertical dans la rainure périphérique 11 est assuré par le propre poids de la ceinture 3 et son déverrouillage de la palette 5 est réalisé en soulevant la ceinture 3 de la palette 5, uniquement en agissant sur les poignées 17. Ces manoeuvres de verrouillage et déverrouillage sont donc faciles et rapides à réaliser, ce qui représente pour l'opérateur une économie d'énergie et de temps relativement à la fixation classique d'un container à ceinture amovible sur palette par des verrous à la palette.The locking of the belt 3 to the pallet 5 in vertical engagement in the peripheral groove 11 is ensured by the own weight of the belt 3 and its unlocking of the pallet 5 is achieved by lifting the belt 3 of the pallet 5, only by acting 17. These locking and unlocking maneuvers are therefore easy and quick to perform, which represents for the operator a saving of energy and time relative to the conventional attachment of a container with a removable belt on pallet by locks to the pallet.

Les éléments de verrouillage 15 sont identiques, étant disposés dans un plan médian P du container. Ils sont montés chacun (figures 2 et 5) dans un cadre support 19 inséré dans une découpe 21 du panneau et comprennent chacun (figure 2) une partie de verrouillage mobile 23 conformée pour coopérer en butée, sortie latéralement du plan de la découpe 21, avec le bord 25 en saillie de la rainure 11. La partie de verrouillage 23 sur la face avant est visible, celle sur la face arrière étant non visible. Cette partie de verrouillage 23 a une conformation longitudinale parallèle au bord 25 du plateau 13 de la palette, sa face supérieure venant en butée contre la face inférieure du bord 25, formé en saillie intérieure dans la rainure périphérique 11. Ce bord 25 est ici celui d'une plaque rigide 27 formant plateau de la palette.The locking elements 15 are identical, being arranged in a median plane P of the container. They are each mounted ( figures 2 and 5 ) in a support frame 19 inserted in a cutout 21 of the panel and each comprise ( figure 2 ) a movable locking portion 23 shaped to cooperate in abutment, laterally out of the plane of the cutout 21, with the edge 25 projecting from the groove 11. The locking portion 23 on the front face is visible, the one on the rear face being not visible. This locking portion 23 has a longitudinal conformation parallel to the edge 25 of the plate 13 of the pallet, its upper face abutting against the underside of the edge 25, formed in internal projection in the peripheral groove 11. This edge 25 is here the a rigid plate 27 forming the pallet tray.

La partie de verrouillage 23 est mobile autour d'une charnière d'axe 29 parallèle au bord inférieur 9 de la ceinture. La partie mobile 23 est en outre articulée en sa partie médiane à un bras supérieur 31 monté coulissant à son extrémité supérieure 33, verticalement, dans le cadre support 19. L'extrémité supérieure 33 du bras est reliée à un ressort de rappel 35, par exemple hélicoïdal, rappelant vers le bas l'extrémité supérieure 33 du bras et donc repoussant vers le bas le bras en sorte que la partie de verrouillage 23 soit en position sortie naturelle de verrouillage.The locking portion 23 is movable around a hinge axis 29 parallel to the lower edge 9 of the belt. The movable portion 23 is further articulated at its middle portion to an upper arm 31 slidably mounted at its upper end 33, vertically, in the support frame 19. The upper end 33 of the arm is connected to a return spring 35, by helical example, reminding down the upper end 33 of the arm and thus pushing down the arm so that the locking portion 23 is in the natural locking position.

De plus, l'extrémité supérieure 33 du bras est reliée à un câble 37, lui-même relié à un élément de préhension manuel mobile 39 de la poignée de manoeuvre 17. Cette dernière est disposée à distance de l'élément de verrouillage, par exemple environ 0,7 mètre en projection verticale, en sorte que, lorsque la ceinture est dressée, cette poignée soit ainsi à hauteur d'homme pour la manoeuvre de la ceinture.In addition, the upper end 33 of the arm is connected to a cable 37, itself connected to a movable manual gripping element 39 of the operating handle 17. The latter is disposed at a distance from the locking element, by For example, about 0.7 meters in vertical projection, so that when the belt is erected, this handle is thus at man's height for maneuvering the belt.

L'élément de préhension manuel 39 est monté coulissant verticalement dans la poignée 17, laquelle est insérée dans une découpe complémentaire 41 du panneau. L'élément de préhension manuel 39 est constitué par exemple par une barrette ou un élément annulaire mobile agencé en légère saillie du plan du panneau pour être saisi par une main. La distance de coulissement de l'élément de préhension manuel 39 correspond à celle de l'extrémité supérieure 33 du bras de la partie de verrouillage.The manual gripping element 39 is slidably mounted vertically in the handle 17, which is inserted into a complementary cutout 41 of the panel. The manual gripping element 39 is constituted for example by a bar or a movable annular element arranged slightly protruding from the plane of the panel to be grasped by a hand. The sliding distance of the manual gripping element 39 corresponds to that of the upper end 33 of the arm of the locking portion.

L'actionnement de l'élément de préhension manuel 39 vers le haut en opposition au rappel du ressort 35, au soulèvement de la ceinture par l'opérateur, tire l'extrémité supérieure 33 du bras et donc la partie de verrouillage 23 vers le haut (figure 5), dans un mouvement l'amenant à l'intérieur de la découpe correspondante 21 de panneau et donc hors de prise du bord inférieur 25 de la rainure périphérique. La ceinture 3 peut ainsi sortir de la rainure périphérique 11.The actuation of the manual gripping element 39 upwards in opposition to the return of the spring 35, to the uprising of the belt by the operator, pulls the upper end 33 of the arm and thus the locking portion 23 upwardly. ( figure 5 ), in a movement bringing it inside the corresponding panel cut 21 and thus out of engagement with the lower edge 25 of the peripheral groove. The belt 3 can thus leave the peripheral groove 11.

L'engagement de la ceinture 3 dans la rainure 11 est réalisé dans un mouvement inverse (figure 4), réalisant l'escamotage de la partie de verrouillage 23 relativement au bord 25 de la rainure périphérique, la partie de verrouillage 23 glissant vers le bas par sa face externe profilée 43 contre le bord 25 de la plaque de palette et s'effaçant à l'encontre du rappel du ressort 35 pour pénétrer la rainure 11, puis revenant en position sortie de verrouillage dès quelle est introduite.The engagement of the belt 3 in the groove 11 is carried out in a reverse movement ( figure 4 ), realizing the retraction of the locking portion 23 relative to the edge 25 of the peripheral groove, the locking portion 23 sliding downwards by its profiled external face 43 against the edge 25 of the pallet plate and disappearing at against the return of the spring 35 to enter the groove 11, then returning to the locking position as soon as it is introduced.

Il est à noter que le ressort 35 a une force de rappel inférieure au poids de la ceinture afin de céder sous le poids de la ceinture en engagement dans la rainure 11.It should be noted that the spring 35 has a restoring force lower than the weight of the belt in order to yield under the weight of the belt in engagement in the groove 11.

La mise en oeuvre du container est très simple et résulte de ce qui précède.The implementation of the container is very simple and results from the above.

Il suffit de déplier la ceinture de sa forme stockée, pliée à plat, puis de mettre en volume la ceinture en formant ses quatre cotés. Il s'agit maintenant en manoeuvrant la ceinture par ses poignées 17 d'introduire son bord inférieur 9 dans la rainure périphérique 11. La ceinture dressée s'engage alors par son bord 9 automatiquement en verrouillage dans la rainure 11, la partie de verrouillage 23 s'escamotant au passage du bord 25 puis sortant latéralement sous ce bord 25.Just unfold the belt of its stored form, folded flat, then to volume the belt by forming its four sides. It is now maneuvering the belt by its handles 17 to introduce its lower edge 9 in the peripheral groove 11. The upright belt then engages by its edge 9 automatically locked in the groove 11, the locking portion 23 retracting at the passage 25 edge and laterally outward under this edge 25.

L'extraction de la ceinture de la palette est réalisée simplement en soulevant la ceinture par ses poignées 17, ce qui ramène les parties de verrouillage 23 vers l'intérieur et autorise la sortie du bord 9 de la ceinture de la rainure 11.The extraction of the belt from the pallet is performed simply by lifting the belt by its handles 17, which brings the locking portions 23 inward and allows the exit of the edge 9 of the belt of the groove 11.

Il est à noter qu'au repliage de la ceinture, les parties de verrouillage peuvent être ramenées à l'intérieur de leur découpe, à l'encontre du rappel des ressorts 35, sous l'application du pliage.It should be noted that when folding the belt, the locking parts can be brought back inside their cut, against the return of the springs 35, under the application of folding.

Des variantes de réalisation peuvent être imaginées dans le cadre de l'invention, selon lequel la ceinture comporte au moins un organe de manoeuvre, distant de l'élément de verrouillage et configuré pour coopérer avec ledit élément de verrouillage en sorte que la ceinture est libérée de la palette par l'organe de manoeuvre (se libère automatiquement de la palette au soulèvement de la ceinture par l'organe de manoeuvre). Ainsi, l'organe de manoeuvre peut être un simple organe de levage de la ceinture lié à l'élément de verrouillage et actionnant ce dernier pour qu'il le déverrouille de la palette à la manoeuvre de levage.Alternative embodiments may be devised in the context of the invention, according to which the belt comprises at least one operating member, remote from the locking element and configured to cooperate with said locking element so that the belt is released. the pallet by the operating member (is automatically released from the pallet lifting the belt by the actuator). Thus, the operating member may be a simple lifting member of the belt connected to the locking member and actuating the latter so that it unlocks the pallet at the lifting maneuver.

De plus, il n'est pas nécessaire que le verrouillage et le déverrouillage de la ceinture relativement à la palette soient liés au poids de la ceinture. Eventuellement un effort supplémentaire (en plus du poids de palette) selon les circonstances peut être exigé pour réaliser le verrouillage ou le déverrouillage.In addition, it is not necessary that the locking and unlocking of the belt relative to the pallet is related to the weight of the belt. Possibly additional effort (in addition to the pallet weight) depending on the circumstances may be required to achieve locking or unlocking.

Par ailleurs, les formes et types d'éléments de verrouillage à la palette, de même que les poignées de manoeuvre associées, peuvent être divers.Moreover, the shapes and types of locking elements to the pallet, as well as the associated operating handles, can be various.
