TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a trunk for receiving a two-wheeled vehicle, for example without limitation a bicycle, a scooter or a motorcycle. This chest is intended to be installed in the public space but could also be installed in a private area such as a corporate parking. The invention also relates to a set of chests each of the chests of the set being connected to another trunk of the set.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

In the public space or in a company car park, for example, it is not always easy for a user to park his two-wheeled vehicle, for example a bicycle. Thus, the padlock or the chain for attaching the two-wheeled vehicle is not always enough because degradations can however be made on the two-wheeled vehicle. There is therefore a need for anti-theft protection and anti-degradation of two-wheeled vehicles more efficient. This need has been addressed in particular by the purpose of the patent US3967425 .

Indeed, this patent describes modular units for storing a bicycle in an individual locker. Each bin provides a trapezoidal volume in cross-section and comprises an upper wall connected to an end wall and a pair of side walls with the ground or other substrate forming the bottom wall. A door lock post is provided for each rack for selective opening or closing, at a charge that can be collected by a coin mechanism in the door lock post. These units may be arranged individually or arranged in a linear array or arcuate with variations in the individual units to interconnect these units in the desired array. According to this invention, a structure is provided for storing a single bicycle in an individual locker with improved safety and protection of the elements by using parts which are interchangeable into different units of this structure.

This rack is satisfactory, however, it is in particular provided to use rivets, nut and bolt to assemble the panels in the embodiment described on the Figures 1 to 4 . While it is mentioned glue and extrusions for the embodiments of Figures 5 to 13 . This type of element can cause problems if it is desired to easily mount the panels that can not be removed from the outside.

It is desirable to improve the security of the storage unit described in the patent US3967425 in particular by making it more difficult to disassemble from the outside while allowing simple assembly of this storage unit.

  • a door 31 shown ajar. For example, conventionally, the door is mounted on hinges (not shown) of the frame and comprises a lock to cooperate with the frame and ensure the closing of the door in the frame.

As can be seen on the figure 2 the bottom 1, the side wall 2, the side wall 4 and the cover 5 each comprise the connecting elements 6.

According to an exemplary embodiment illustrated on the figure 2 if it is considered that the bottom extends in the plane zy defined in particular by two straight lines extending in the direction z, then two connecting elements 6 of the bottom 1 are arranged on each side of the bottom and aligned according to each of these two lines. Similarly, if it is considered that the cover extends in the xy plane, defined in particular by two straight lines extending in the x direction, then two assembly elements 6 of the cover 5 are arranged on each side of the cover and aligned along each of these two lines.

The side walls 2, 4 are also each provided with an assembly element 6 to cooperate with the connecting elements 6 of the cover 5 and the base 1. According to one embodiment, the side walls 2, 4 each extend in the plane z x. In this case, each side wall may comprise as many assembly elements 6 as the number of connecting elements that comprise the bottom and the cover on the side of this wall. Thus, an assembly member 6 of the bottom 1 or the cover 5 corresponds to an assembly element of the side wall with which it cooperates.

For each side wall 2, 4, there are provided for example two assembly elements 6 aligned along a straight line in the z direction and two assembly elements aligned along a straight line in the x direction.

In addition, the cover 5 can slide relative to the two lateral walls 2, 4 in the corresponding sliding direction 8 according to the example shown in FIG. figure 2 to the direction x. After sliding in this direction, each of the assembly elements 6 of the cover 5 is locked with the connecting element 6 of the side wall with which it cooperates.

Furthermore, the door assembly 3 forms a stop so that after sliding of the cover in the direction 8, it remains in this position so that each of the assembly elements 6 of the lid 5 remains locked with the element d assembly 6 of the side wall with which it cooperates.

In fact, the figure 3 represents the same chest as the figure 2 but from another angle to illustrate the background 1.

In a manner similar to that indicated for the cover, the bottom 1 can slide relative to the two side walls 2, 4 in the corresponding sliding direction 7 according to the example shown in FIG. figure 3 to the direction z. After sliding in this direction, each of the assembly elements 6 of the bottom 1 is locked with the connecting element 6 of the side wall with which it cooperates.

Furthermore, the cover 5 forms a stop so that after sliding of the bottom 1 in the direction 7, it remains in this position so that each of the assembly elements 6 of the bottom 1 remains locked with the element of assembly 6 of the side wall with which it cooperates.

In other words, the side walls 2, 4 comprising at least one assembly element 6, for example four assembly elements, the bottom 1 comprises an assembly element 6 configured to be locked with the element of assembly. assembly 6 of a side wall 2, 4 by sliding 7 of the bottom 1 relative to the side wall 2, 4 and the cover 5 forms a stop of the sliding of the bottom 1 to keep locked the assembly element 6 of the wall side 2, 4 with the bottom joining element 1.

Thus, since the cover forms a stop of the bottom and the assembly forms a stop of the cover, to assemble the trunk 20, the bottom can be first mounted on the two side walls, then the cover on the two side walls and finally the whole door.

According to figure 6 , we can see in detail the four assembly elements 62 of each side wall. As can be seen the assembly elements 62 are each a light.

Thus, as can be understood with the aid of figures 5 and 6 , the connecting elements 61 of the bottom and the cover form male connecting elements 61 which are each intended to enter an assembly element 62 of the side walls which forms a female connecting element.

In other words, the connecting elements 6 form pairs, each pair comprising a female connecting element 62 and a male connecting element 61, the male connecting element 61 being able to fit into the female connecting element 62.

The figure 7 is a view of a male coupling element and a female element according to the first embodiment of the invention.

The male connecting member 61 and the connecting member 62 form a pair. This pair is for example composed of one of the two female assembly elements 62 of the wall 2 aligned along a straight line in the z direction and a male connecting member 61 of the bottom. She can also be constituted by one of the two female assembly elements 62 of the wall 2 or 4 aligned along a straight line in the x direction and a male connecting member 61 of the cover. It could also consist of one of the two female assembly elements 62 of the wall 4 aligned along a straight line in the z direction and a male connecting member 61 of the bottom.

The connecting element 61 is inserted in the direction 69 in the female coupling element 62. Then, the connecting element 61 is locked with the female coupling element 62 by sliding in the direction of sliding. 7 or 8.

In other words, each pair comprising a female connecting element 62 and a male connecting element 61, the male connecting element 61 being able to be inserted in the female coupling element 62 in a direction d insertion 69 and the male connecting member 61 inserted in the female connecting member 62 is locked with the female connecting member 62 after sliding in a direction 7, 8 substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction 69.

The figure 8 is a view of a male coupling member and a female connecting member according to a second embodiment of the invention.

As can be seen, the height in the z direction of the bottom 1 is smaller than the height in the z direction of the door assembly 3. In other words, a height of the door assembly 3 is different from a height of the bottom 1 so that the cover 5 is inclined so that the rain can be easily removed from the cover in the case of an outdoor installation.

The figure 11 is a top view along the x, y plane of the trunk according to a fourth embodiment of the invention.

• un repère orthonormé 70 comprenant trois vecteurs x, y et z, dont seuls sont visibles les vecteurs x et y;
• le coffre 20 comprenant:
• le fond 1;
• la paroi latérale 2;
• l'ensemble porte 3;
• la paroi latérale 4;
• le couvercle 5;
• les éléments d'assemblage 6;
• la direction de coulissement 8;
• une entretoise 12;
• une largeur 13 du fond;
• une largeur 14 de l'ensemble porte.

On the figure 11 , are referenced:

• an orthonormal frame 70 comprising three vectors x, y and z, of which only the vectors x and y are visible;
• the chest 20 comprising:
• the bottom 1;
• the side wall 2;
• the assembly door 3;

• the lid 5;
• the fasteners 6;
• the sliding direction 8;
• a spacer 12;
• a width 13 of the bottom;
• a width 14 of the door assembly.

As can be seen on the figure 11 , the width 13 is smaller than the width 14. That is to say that the width 14 of the entire door 3 is greater than a width 13 of the bottom 1.

In this case, the two side walls are not parallel, it does not appear easy to lock the assembly elements of the cover with those of the side walls by a sliding of the cover in the direction 8. To improve this point, it is provided to provide the side wall with a spacer for each locking member and on which is positioned the locking member. Thanks to this spacer 12, the locking elements can all be aligned in the direction of sliding 8.

In other words, there is provided for each side wall 2, 4 at least one spacer 12, an assembly element 6 being fixed on each spacer 12 and each connecting element 6 being fixed on a spacer 12.

The figure 12 represents a set of chests according to a fifth embodiment of the invention.

On the other hand, for the additional box 30 comprising a first 41 and a second side wall 4, the first side wall 41 is formed by a side wall of the first box 20.

The figure 13 is an x, y plane section of a set of chests according to the fifth embodiment.

• un repère orthonormé 70 comprenant trois vecteurs x, y et z dont seuls sont visibles x et y;
• l'ensemble porte 3;
• la direction du coulissement 8;
• la paroi latérale 41;
• l'élément d'assemblage femelle 62;
• l'élément d'assemblage male 61.

On the figure 13 , we can see the set of chests 100 including:

• an orthonormal frame 70 comprising three vectors x, y and z, of which only x and y are visible;
• the assembly door 3;
• the direction of sliding 8;
• the side wall 41;
• the female connecting element 62;
• the male assembly element 61.

On the figure 13 is also illustrated by the reference 5 the position of the two covers, those ci not appear on the cut.

The figure 13 illustrates in detail the side wall 41 of the set of boxes 100 according to the fifth embodiment.

According to this fifth embodiment, provision is made to provide the side wall 41 with female connecting elements 62 on each of its two sides. More precisely for each of its two sides, it is intended to provide the side wall of the female connecting elements 62 to cooperate with the male connecting elements 61 of the bottom 1 and the cover 5 located on that side.

Thus, with respect to a side wall 2, 4 as described according to the first embodiment, the side wall comprises twice as many connecting elements.

According to the fifth embodiment, it is in fact provided to apply a symmetry with a plane of symmetry passing through the side wall 41 to position the connecting elements 61 and 62 on one side and the other side of the wall lateral.

According to figure 13 are only visible the connecting elements 61 of each of the two covers 5 which are aligned along two straight lines respectively extending in the direction x but what is described is valid mutatis mutandis for the connecting elements 61 of each of the two bottom 5 which are aligned along two lines respectively extending in the direction z.

Thus, it is provided according to the fifth embodiment, to position at the same location on each of the two sides of the side wall, the connecting elements 62 of the side wall. Incidentally, the assembly elements 61 of the cover and the bottom being positioned to correspond to the connecting elements on both sides of the side wall, the connecting elements of the two covers are also positioned in the same places as well as the assembly elements of the two funds.

This is advantageous because it allows in the case of caps to be able to interchange them and to be able to rotate them 180 ° around the x axis while maintaining compatibility between the lid assembly members and the side wall assembly members.

Similarly, it allows in the case of funds to be able to interchange them and to rotate them 180 ° around the z axis while maintaining compatibility between the bottom assembly elements and the assembly elements of the side wall.

The disadvantage is the need to provide a side wall with a thickness along the y axis twice as large.

The figure 14 is a section along an x, y plane of a set of chests according to a sixth embodiment of the invention.

• un repère orthonormé 70 comprenant trois vecteurs x, y et z dont seuls sont visibles x et y;
• l'ensemble de coffres 100 comprenant:
• l'ensemble porte 3;
• la direction du coulissement 8;
• une paroi latérale 42 qui se distingue de la paroi latérale 41;
• l'élément d'assemblage femelle 62;
• l'élément d'assemblage male 61.

On the figure 14 , are referenced:

• an orthonormal frame 70 comprising three vectors x, y and z, of which only x and y are visible;
• the set of chests 100 comprising:
• the assembly door 3;
• the direction of sliding 8;
• a side wall 42 which is distinguished from the side wall 41;
• the female connecting element 62;
• the male assembly element 61.

On the figure 14 is also illustrated by the reference 5 the position of the two covers, those ci not appear on the cut.

According to this sixth embodiment, it is intended to provide the side wall 42 of assembly elements 6 on each of its two sides. Specifically for each of its two sides, it is expected to provide the side wall of the connecting elements 6 to cooperate with the connecting elements 6 of the bottom 1 and the cover 5 located on that side.

Thus, with respect to a side wall 2, 4 as described according to the first embodiment, the side wall 42 comprises twice as many connecting elements.

According to the sixth embodiment, it is not intended to apply a symmetry with a plane of symmetry passing through the side wall 41 to position the connecting elements on one side and the other of the side wall as in the fifth embodiment.

On the contrary, it is intended to interleave along the x axis, the assembly elements corresponding to those of the cover of each of the two sides of the side wall as can be seen on the figure 14 .

Similarly, it is also planned to interleave along the z axis, the connecting elements corresponding to those of the bottom of each of the two sides of the side wall.

Thus, according to the sixth embodiment, the assembly elements 62 of the side wall are positioned offset on each of the two sides of the side wall, the assembly elements 61 of the cover and the bottom being positioned to correspond to the elements of the assembly on both sides.

This is advantageous because it allows to keep a thickness of the side wall along the y-axis according to the sixth embodiment equal to that of the side wall 2 or 4 of the first embodiment.

Of course it is not beyond the scope of the invention with a number of assembly elements lower or higher than strictly 4 for the bottom or for the cover.
