Description

La présente invention concerne une couchette empilable, ainsi qu'un élément d'angle pour couchette empilable.The present invention relates to a stackable berth, as well as an element corner for stackable berth.

Les couchettes empilables de ce genre sont souvent utilisées dans les crèches, garderies et écoles maternelles. Elles comportent en générale une toile tendue dans un cadre globalement rectangulaire formé par des éléments longitudinaux et transversaux reliés les uns aux autres par des éléments d'angle.Stackable berths like this are often used in nurseries, nurseries and nursery schools. They generally include a canvas stretched in a generally rectangular frame formed by longitudinal elements and transverse connected to each other by corner elements.

Chaque élément d'angle est sur sa face inférieure pourvu d'un pied, et sur sa face supérieure pourvu d'un évidement aligné sur ce pied et constituant un logement de réception d'un pied similaire d'une autre couchette venant s'empiler sur la première couchette. Dans une couchette connue, les pieds ont une forme globalement cylindrique et les logements ont également une forme globalement cylindrique et présentent un léger jeu par rapport au contour des pieds afin de permettre l'empilage aisé des couchettes les unes sur les autres.Each corner element is on its underside provided with a foot, and on its upper face provided with a recess aligned on this foot and constituting a housing receiving a similar foot from another bunk stacking on the first berth. In a known berth, the feet have an overall shape cylindrical and the housings also have a generally cylindrical shape and have a slight clearance relative to the contour of the feet to allow stacking easy berths on top of each other.

Cette structure donne généralement satisfaction, mais les trous formés par ces logements présentent un certain danger pour les enfants en bas âge qui pourraient y introduire une main ou un objet pouvant les blesser. Si la main reste bloquée dans le trou et l'enfant perd l'équilibre et tombe, il y a un risque réel d'une fracture. Pour cette raison, il serait souhaitable d'éviter la formation de tels trous sur les éléments d'angle.This structure is generally satisfactory, but the holes formed by these homes pose a certain danger to young children who may introduce a hand or object that could injure them. If the hand remains stuck in the hole and the child loses balance and falls, there is a real risk of a fracture. For this For this reason, it would be desirable to avoid the formation of such holes on the corner elements.

On connaít une couchette de ce genre dans laquelle les éléments d'angle sont en deux parties, une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure reliées ensemble. Dans chaque élément d'angle de cette couchette, le logement de réception d'un pied d'une couchette supérieure empilée sur la couchette est essentiellement formé par le pied creux de la partie inférieure ouvert vers le haut et par un trou dans la partie supérieure aligné sur le reste du logement.We know a berth of this kind in which the corner elements are in two parts, an upper part and a lower part connected together. In each corner element of this berth, the housing for receiving a foot of a upper bunk stacked on the bunk is essentially formed by the foot hollow in the lower part open upwards and through a hole in the part upper aligned with the rest of the housing.

Cette couchette présente l'inconvénient mentionné ci-dessus, et en plus, les éléments d'angle comportent sur toute leur périphérie dirigée vers l'extérieur un joint non désirable puisque si les surfaces d'assemblage ne sont pas parfaitement alignées, il y a nécessairement un rebord qui fait légèrement saillie et peut ainsi constituer un risque. Par ailleurs, cette présence d'un joint peut également inciter les enfants à y introduire une lame et se blesser sérieusement en jouant. This berth has the drawback mentioned above, and in addition, the corner elements have a joint on their entire periphery directed towards the outside not desirable since if the assembly surfaces are not perfectly aligned, there is necessarily a rim which protrudes slightly and can thus constitute a risk. Furthermore, this presence of a joint can also encourage children to go there. insert a blade and seriously injure yourself while playing.

On connaít également d'autres couchettes dans lesquelles les éléments d'angle comportent sur leur face extérieure tout simplement un épaulement contre lequel vient buter le pied d'une couchette venant s'empiler sur une autre couchette. Dans ce cas, les pieds ne sont pas individuellement bloqués en position lorsque les couchettes sont empilées. Ils sont en effet bloqués ensemble grâce au fait qu'ils sont reliés par les éléments formant le cadre de la couchette.We also know other berths in which the corner elements have on their outer face simply a shoulder against which abuts the foot of a bunk stacking on another berth. In this case, the feet are not individually locked in position when the bunks are stacked. They are indeed blocked together thanks to the fact that they are connected by the elements forming the frame of the berth.

Un inconvénient de ce type de couchette réside dans le fait que les zones d'angle présentent un interstice ou même un trou allongé formé entre la toile et les éléments d'angle. Ceci est également à éviter pour les mêmes raisons que celles invoquées ci-dessus.A disadvantage of this type of berth is that the areas corner have a gap or even an elongated hole formed between the fabric and the corner elements. This is also to be avoided for the same reasons as those invoked above.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer une couchette et un élément d'angle qui remédient aux inconvénients des couchettes connues et qui en plus permettent une fabrication moins chère puisque sans usinage des pièces et sans les inserts métalliques habituellement nécessaires pour le montage. L'invention permet également un montage simplifié des éléments constitutifs de la couchette.The object of the invention is to propose a berth and a corner element which overcome the disadvantages of known berths and which in addition allow a cheaper manufacturing since without machining parts and without inserts usually required for mounting. The invention allows also a simplified assembly of the constituent elements of the berth.

La couchette 1 comporte des éléments d'angle 2 reliés entre eux par des éléments longitudinaux et transversaux 3, 4 qui sont généralement constitués par des tubes métalliques. Ces éléments forment ensemble un cadre globalement rectangulaire sur lequel une toile 5 est tendue comme il sera décrit plus tard en référence à la figure 7.The berth 1 comprises corner elements 2 interconnected by longitudinal and transverse elements 3, 4 which generally consist of metal tubes. These elements together form a framework overall rectangular on which a canvas 5 is stretched as will be described later in reference to figure 7.

La couchette est ainsi pourvue de quatre éléments d'angle 2. Chaque élément d'angle comporte sur sa face inférieure un pied 6 et sur sa face supérieure un logement de réception vertical 7 aligné sur ce pied afin de recevoir un pied de forme correspondante sur une couchette similaire venant s'empiler sur la couchette immédiatement inférieure.The berth is thus provided with four corner elements 2. Each element angle has on its underside a foot 6 and on its upper face a vertical receiving housing 7 aligned with this foot in order to receive a shaped foot corresponding on a similar bunk stacking on the berth immediately lower.

Chaque élément d'angle 2 comporte en outre deux trous horizontaux de réception et de fixation 8, 9 respectivement destinés à recevoir une extrémité d'un élément longitudinal 3 et une extrémité d'un élément transversal 4. Ces trous de réception 8, 9 s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement l'un à l'autre dans un plan horizontal.Each corner element 2 further comprises two horizontal holes of receiving and fixing 8, 9 respectively intended to receive one end of a longitudinal element 3 and one end of a transverse element 4. These holes reception 8, 9 extend substantially perpendicular to each other in a plane horizontal.

Selon l'invention, les éléments d'angle sont composés d'une partie supérieure 10 et d'une partie inférieure 11. La partie supérieure 10 et la partie inférieure 11 peuvent être en une seule pièce et présenter l'aspect général représenté à la figure 5, ou bien être en au moins deux pièces individuelles et séparées qui sont reliées l'une à l'autre lors de l'assemblage de la couchette, comme cela sera expliqué en détail plus tard. Indépendamment du mode de réalisation en une ou deux pièces, le logement de réception 7 est intégralement formé dans la partie supérieure 10 et comporte une ouverture latérale sous forme d'une fente verticale 12 débouchant vers l'extérieur et s'étendant sur sensiblement toute la hauteur du logement 7 en s'ouvrant vers le haut. La largeur de l'ouverture latérale 12 est telle qu'un pied d'une couchette supérieure soit maintenue latéralement immobilisé dans le logement 7 sans possibilité de déplacement vers l'extérieur.According to the invention, the corner elements are composed of an upper part 10 and a lower part 11. The upper part 10 and the lower part 11 may be in one piece and have the general appearance shown in FIG. 5, or be in at least two individual and separate rooms which are connected one to the other when assembling the berth, as will be explained in more detail later. Regardless of the one or two-piece embodiment, the housing of reception 7 is integrally formed in the upper part 10 and comprises a lateral opening in the form of a vertical slot 12 opening outwards and extending over substantially the entire height of the housing 7, opening upwards. The width of the lateral opening 12 is such that a foot of an upper berth is kept laterally immobilized in the housing 7 without the possibility of moving outward.

Le logement 7 a une forme cylindrique dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures et est effectué dans un corps 13 également cylindrique. Ce corps 13 constitue un organe mâle (voir figure 2) apte à coopérer avec un évidement 14 (voir figure 3) sur la face supérieure de la pièce inférieure constituant un organe femelle. Cet organe femelle 14 épouse la forme de l'organe mâle 13 et comporte également une ouverture latérale 15 correspondant à l'ouverture latérale 12 de la partie supérieure 10. Ces organes mâle et femelle ont ici une forme de préférence circulaire.The housing 7 has a cylindrical shape in the embodiment illustrated on the figures and is performed in a body 13 also cylindrical. This body 13 constitutes a male organ (see FIG. 2) able to cooperate with a recess 14 (see Figure 3) on the upper face of the lower part constituting a female member. This female organ 14 follows the shape of the male organ 13 and also comprises a lateral opening 15 corresponding to the lateral opening 12 of the part upper 10. These male and female organs here have a preferably circular shape.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le pied 6 est creux et l'organe mâle 13 de la partie supérieure 10 est à son extrémité inférieure pourvu d'un élément transversal 16 formant fond et qui referme le pied 6 vers le haut lorsque les parties supérieure et inférieur sont assemblées (voir figure 5).In the example illustrated, the foot 6 is hollow and the male member 13 of the part upper 10 is at its lower end provided with a transverse element 16 forming the bottom and which closes the foot 6 upwards when the upper parts and lower are assembled (see figure 5).

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, l'extrémité de l'organe mâle 13 est pourvue d'une protubérance 17 de section réduite reçue dans un évidement 18 à l'extrémité inférieure de l'organe femelle 14 lorsque les deux parties supérieure et inférieure sont assemblées.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the end of the member male 13 is provided with a protrusion 17 of reduced section received in a recess 18 at the lower end of the female member 14 when the two parts upper and lower are assembled.

Cette protubérance 17 est sur sa face extérieure avantageusement pourvue de nervures longitudinales 19 coopérant avec la paroi de l'évidement 18 afin d'y retenir cette protubérance.This protuberance 17 is on its outer face advantageously provided with longitudinal ribs 19 cooperating with the wall of the recess 18 in order to retain therein this protuberance.

Les parties supérieure et inférieure 10, 11 de l'élément d'angle 2 comporte une lèvre supérieure 20 respectivement une lèvre inférieure 21 aptes à être disposées de part et d'autre de la toile 5 dans une zone d'angle 22 (voir figures 8 et 9). Des moyens de retenue de la toile sont formés sur la face inférieure de la lèvre supérieure 20 et sur la face supérieure de la lèvre inférieure 21. Ces moyens de retenue sont avantageusement constitués par les lèvres elles-mêmes et pour obtenir une force de serrage améliorée, la lèvre supérieure 20 est inclinée vers la lèvre inférieure 21 de sorte que ces lèvres forment une mâchoire.The upper and lower parts 10, 11 of the corner element 2 have a upper lip 20 respectively a lower lip 21 able to be disposed of on either side of the fabric 5 in a corner area 22 (see Figures 8 and 9). Means retaining cloth are formed on the underside of the upper lip 20 and on the upper face of the lower lip 21. These retaining means are advantageously formed by the lips themselves and to obtain a force of improved tightening, the upper lip 20 is inclined towards the lower lip 21 of so that these lips form a jaw.

Selon une autre variante non illustrée, ces moyens de retenue de la toile 5 sont constitués par des ergots disposés sur la face supérieure de la lèvre inférieure 21 et coopérant avec des évidements effectués sur la face inférieure de la lèvre supérieure 20 ou inversement.According to another variant not illustrated, these means for retaining the fabric 5 are constituted by lugs arranged on the upper face of the lower lip 21 and cooperating with recesses made on the underside of the upper lip 20 or vice versa.

Avantageusement, la partie supérieure 10 comporte en outre une jupe 23 s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'ouverture latérale 12 du logement 7. Cette jupe constitue un moyen de guidage lors de l'assemblage des deux parties 10, 11 de l'élément d'angle 2 en glissant contre la face extérieure de la partie inférieure 11 en même temps que l'organe mâle 13 de la partie supérieure pénètre dans l'organe femelle 14 de la partie inférieure 11. Lorsque les parties supérieure et inférieure 10, 11 sont assemblées, la jupe sert également comme une protection cachant le plan de jointure entre ces deux parties lorsque l'élément d'angle est effectué en deux pièces comme illustré sur la figure 6.Advantageously, the upper part 10 further comprises a skirt 23 extending on either side of the lateral opening 12 of the housing 7. This skirt constitutes a guide means during the assembly of the two parts 10, 11 of the corner element 2 by sliding against the external face of the lower part 11 in same time as the male organ 13 of the upper part enters the organ female 14 of the lower part 11. When the upper and lower parts 10, 11 are assembled, the skirt also serves as a protection hiding the plane of joint between these two parts when the corner element is made in two parts as shown in figure 6.

Pour la fixation des éléments longitudinaux et transversaux 3, 4 du cadre de la couchette, chaque trou de réception et de fixation 8, 9 est formé par une rainure 8A, 9A effectuée sur la face supérieure de la partie inférieure 11 et disposée en regard d'une rainure analogue respective 8B, 9B effectuée sur la face inférieure de la partie supérieure 10 (voir figure 6).For fixing the longitudinal and transverse elements 3, 4 of the frame of the berth, each receiving and fixing hole 8, 9 is formed by a groove 8A, 9A carried out on the upper face of the lower part 11 and arranged opposite a respective analogous groove 8B, 9B made on the underside of the part upper 10 (see Figure 6).

Afin d'immobiliser les éléments longitudinaux et latéraux à l'intérieur des trous de réception et de fixation 8, 9 lors de l'assemblage de la couchette, des paires de douilles transversales 24, 25 s'étendent à partir des fonds des rainures 8A, 8B respectivement 9A, 9B. Les douilles de chaque paire de douille 24, 25 traversent des trous de fixation opposés 26 ménagés dans les éléments longitudinaux et transversaux. Les douilles de chaque paire de douille 24, 25 sont disposées en regard afin de permettre l'introduction d'une vis de fixation 27 par un trou de fixation 28 par lequel les douilles de la partie inférieure débouchent vers le bas.In order to immobilize the longitudinal and lateral elements inside the receiving and fixing holes 8, 9 when assembling the berth, pairs transverse bushings 24, 25 extend from the bottoms of the grooves 8A, 8B respectively 9A, 9B. The sockets of each pair of sockets 24, 25 pass through opposite fixing holes 26 made in the longitudinal elements and transverse. The sockets of each pair of sockets 24, 25 are arranged facing each other to allow the introduction of a fixing screw 27 through a fixing hole 28 by which the sockets of the lower part open down.

Le pied 6 de l'élément d'angle 2 comporte avantageusement un trou central 29 constituant un trou de fixation d'une roulette 30 par simple encliquetage de l'axe de la roulette dans ce trou. Les roulettes restent amovibles et peuvent avantageusement être pourvues d'un frein.The foot 6 of the corner element 2 advantageously has a central hole 29 constituting a fixing hole for a caster 30 by simply snap-fastening the axis of the roulette in this hole. The casters remain removable and can advantageously have a brake.

La procédure d'assemblage de la couchette comportant des éléments d'angle en deux pièces est schématiquement illustrée à la figure 7. The procedure for assembling the berth with corner elements in two parts is schematically illustrated in Figure 7.

La toile 5 est d'abord découpée pour obtenir la forme souhaitée permettant l'obtention de rebords tubulaires 31 par pliage et soudage ou couture. Chaque angle de la toile est découpé pour recevoir un élément d'angle 2.The fabric 5 is first cut to obtain the desired shape allowing obtaining tubular flanges 31 by folding and welding or sewing. Each angle canvas is cut to receive a corner element 2.

Ensuite, la toile 5 est retournée et les éléments longitudinaux et latéraux 3, 4 sont introduits dans les rebords tubulaires correspondants 31. Les extrémités de chaque élément font saillie des deux côtés du rebord tubulaire afin de permettre introduction des douilles 25 des parties supérieures 10 dans les trous 26 des éléments longitudinaux et latéraux 3, 4 qui ainsi restent bloqués. Les parties inférieures 11 des éléments d'angle sont ainsi refermés sur les parties supérieures 10 en introduisant les douilles correspondantes 24 dans les trous sur les éléments longitudinaux et latéraux 3, 4. Les vis de fixation 27 sont ensuite introduites par les trous 28 sur la face inférieure de la partie inférieure 11 de l'élément d'angle pour réunir celle-ci à la partie supérieure 10 en étant vissées dans les douilles 25.Then, the fabric 5 is turned over and the longitudinal and lateral elements 3, 4 are introduced into the corresponding tubular flanges 31. The ends of each element protrudes from both sides of the tubular rim to allow insertion of the sockets 25 of the upper parts 10 into the holes 26 of the elements longitudinal and lateral 3, 4 which thus remain blocked. The lower parts 11 of corner elements are thus closed on the upper parts 10 by introducing the corresponding sockets 24 in the holes on the longitudinal and lateral elements 3, 4. The fixing screws 27 are then introduced through the holes 28 on the face lower part of the lower part 11 of the corner element to join it to the part upper 10 by being screwed into the sockets 25.

L'assemblage de la couchette est ainsi particulièrement facile et rapide à mettre en oeuvre et on n'a plus besoin d'inserts métalliques afin de tendre la toile d'un côté. La couchette obtenue est montrée à la figure 8. Elle est très solide et les éléments longitudinaux et latéraux 3, 4 sont entièrement bloqués dans les trous de fixation 8, 9 des éléments d'angle et ne peuvent jamais lâcher.The assembly of the berth is thus particularly easy and quick to implement and we no longer need metal inserts in order to stretch the canvas of a side. The berth obtained is shown in Figure 8. It is very solid and the longitudinal and lateral elements 3, 4 are entirely blocked in the holes of fixing 8, 9 of the corner elements and can never let go.

Dans le mode de réalisation des éléments d'angle en une seule pièce, l'assemblage de la couchette est similaire. Bien entendu, les douilles 25, 26 à l'intérieur des trous de réception et de fixation 8, 9 des éléments longitudinaux et transversaux 3, 4 ont été supprimés et remplacés par des moyens de fixation plus classiques comportant tout simplement une vis de fixation en passant par un trou transversal communiquant avec l'intérieur des trous de réception 8, 9 pour s'appuyer directement contre l'élément correspondant 3, 4 ou traversant encore un tour prévu dans la paroi de celui-ci.In the embodiment of the corner elements in one piece, the berth assembly is similar. Of course, the sockets 25, 26 to the interior of the receiving and fixing holes 8, 9 of the longitudinal elements and transverse 3, 4 have been removed and replaced by more fixing means conventional simply with a fixing screw passing through a hole transverse communicating with the interior of the receiving holes 8, 9 to rest directly against the corresponding element 3, 4 or still crossing a planned turn in the wall of it.

La figure 9 montre plusieurs couchettes selon l'invention empilées les unes sur les autres. On n'a plus besoin d'un accessoire de rangement spécialement conçu pour l'empilage puisque la pile obtenue est tout à fait rigide et peut en plus facilement être déplacée si la couchette inférieure est pourvue de roulettes 30. Cette dernière peut également être utilisée sans difficulté si les roulettes sont pourvues de freins pour l'immobiliser. FIG. 9 shows several berths according to the invention stacked one on the other on others. You no longer need a specially designed storage accessory for stacking since the stack obtained is completely rigid and can additionally easily be moved if the lower berth is fitted with castors 30. This the latter can also be used without difficulty if the casters are fitted with brakes to immobilize it.

Ainsi est obtenu une couchette qui est particulièrement sûre pour être utilisée sans danger pour les enfants en bas âge.Thus a berth is obtained which is particularly safe to use. safe for young children.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples illustrés et décrits, mais comprend également toutes les variantes à la portée de l'homme du métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples illustrated and described, but also includes all the variants within the reach of the skilled person without however, depart from the scope of the invention.
