FR2716446A1 - Mobile storage equipment for valuable bottles - Google Patents

Abstract

The equipment has an external enclosure (1) and an internal part (2) that is submerged into the ground to receive an element (7) to which a number of movable trays (4) are attached. The element and trays move inside the internal part under the movement of an actuator (9). The actuator is supplied with liquid from a central hydraulic source (6) to lift or lower the element and trays between the external and internal parts. The external enclosure has a door which can be opened when the element is in the upper position.

Description

- DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a mobile device for circular storage of bottles, canned goods or valuables.

 Access to traditional cellars is by stairs or miller's ladders, which can be dangerous for the user.

 Generally located in the basement and very often in the garage for lack of space, access is often very difficult.

 The device according to the inventor overcomes this drawback, it indeed has a first characteristic, that of being able to raise the whole load to the desired level, without any effort, the most simple maneuver being carried out at the using a hydraulic unit.

 The user presses an up or down contact to set the assembly in motion.

 According to particular embodiments the assembly is composed of two parts, one buried the other above ground for the movement of the load.

 Access to the latter is made using a sliding door, which, for safety reasons, only opens when the load has stabilized.

 Storage can be carried out on circular trays which are themselves mobile and placed on a support.

The dynamics of the whole being ensured by a hydraulic group
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows in elevation, the device CLOSED
Figure 2 shows in elevation, the device OPEN
Figure 3 shows a device cup in the LOW position
Figure 4 shows a device cup in the HIGH position
With reference to these drawings, the device is composed of two parts (1) and (2) of cylindrical shape, fixed one on the other.

 The part (1) of the external part serves as a guide for the load during the maneuvers and comprises a door (3) for access to the mobile distribution plates (4).

 On the left of the part (1) is installed a control box (5) with two buttons, for raising and lowering, acting on a hydraulic unit (6) which allows the jack (9) to raise or lower the load supported by the element (7) and the mobile plates (4).

 In the closed position, an insulated cover (8) provides the seal necessary to preserve the freshness emanating from the ground.

The lifting device will be provided using a jack (9) specially designed for our particular case and will respond to specific specifications such as:
The absence: - of odors
- heat release
- leaks over time
- shock at start-up or on arrival
At rest the assembly (7) and the movable plates (4) enter the element (2) buried in the ground, the products are therefore kept in relative freshness thanks to the tightness of the cover (8).

The elevation of the mobile plates (4) takes place in the external part (1) which is transformed into a cupboard, it is enough after the stop of the element (7) to open the door (3) which is thus The mobile trays (4) pivot around the element (7) to access the products they support when the door (3) is open.

 As soon as the door (3) is closed, contact is established and you can lower it by pressing the "lower" button on the control unit (5).

 The jack (9) then delivers the liquid to the hydraulic unit (6).

 In order to ensure a reliable seal, all of the elements are made of composite materials. The part (2) buried in the ground is treated seamlessly, on the principle of swimming pools.

 The elements (1) and (2) are fitted with limit switch contacts (10) stopping the element (7) and the movable plates (4) in the high position and in the low position.

 By way of nonlimiting example, the assembly has above-ground dimensions of the order of 2100 mm for the height and 900 mm for the diameter.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the storage of bottles, canned goods or securities.

 A protection device for the control unit (5) makes it possible to lock the element (7) and the mobile plates (4) in the low position.

Claims (6)

- CLAIMS 1) Mobile device for circular storage of bottles, preserved or valuables characterized in that it consists of an external part (1) and a part (2) buried in the ground receiving an element (7) on which are fixed movable plates (4), the element (7) and the plates (4) rising in the part (1) stiff with a jack (9). 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the cylinder (9) delivers the liquid to a hydraulic unit (6) to raise or lower the assembly (7) and the movable plates (4) of the element (2) in element (1). 3) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the element (1) is equipped with a door (3) whose opening is conditioned by the presence of the element (7) in the high position. 4) Device according to claims 1,2,3 characterized in that the element (7) supports movable plates (4) and a cover (8) obstructing element (2) when the element (7) is in the low position . 5) Device according to all of the preceding claims characterized in that the mobile plates (4) pivot around the element (7) to access the products they support when the door (3) is open. 6) Device according to claim 4 characterized in that the elements (1) and (2) are equipped with limit switch contacts (10) stopping the element (7) and the movable plates (4) in the high position and in low position.
