Description

Boîte aux lettres, livrable en kit Mailbox, available as a kit

La présente invention concerne une boîte aux lettres livrable en kit. Le document FR 2 870 097 décrit une boîte aux lettres, livrable en kit, comprenant deux panneaux latéraux espacés et parallèles, un panneau supérieur raccordant les bords supérieurs des panneaux latéraux, un panneau inférieur raccordant les bords inférieurs des panneaux latéraux, un cadre avant délimitant une ouverture dans laquelle est montée pivotante une porte, et un fond. Cette boîte aux lettres est réalisée en tôle.The present invention relates to a mailbox available as a kit. Document FR 2 870 097 describes a mailbox, available in kit form, comprising two spaced and parallel side panels, an upper panel connecting the upper edges of the side panels, a lower panel connecting the lower edges of the side panels, a front frame delimiting an opening in which is pivotally mounted a door, and a bottom. This mailbox is made of sheet metal.

Les différents éléments constitutifs de cette boîte aux lettres peuvent être superposés, ce qui permet de réduire le volume de stockage de cette dernière.The different elements of this mailbox can be superimposed, which reduces the storage volume of the latter.

Toutefois, la fabrication de la boîte aux lettres décrite dans le document FR 2 870 097 nécessite de nombreuses étapes complexes et coûteuses de pliage, de découpe et d'emboutissage des tôles formant les différents éléments constitutifs de la boîte aux lettres.However, the manufacture of the mailbox described in document FR 2 870 097 requires many complex and expensive steps of folding, cutting and stamping sheets forming the various components of the mailbox.

Il en résulte un coût de revient important de la boîte aux lettres. En outre, bien que le panneau supérieur de la boîte aux lettre comprenne sur ses bords latéraux des retours recouvrant les bords supérieurs des panneaux latéraux, l'étanchéité des différents raccords entre les panneaux, le fond et le cadre avant est insuffisante et de l'eau peut donc s'infiltrer dans la boîte aux lettres.This results in a significant cost of the mailbox. In addition, although the upper panel of the mailbox includes on its side edges returns covering the upper edges of the side panels, the sealing of the various connections between the panels, the bottom and the front frame is insufficient and the water can thus seep into the mailbox.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients. La présente invention consiste donc à fournir une boîte aux lettres livrable en kit qui soit de structure simple, économique et légère, tout en assurant une étanchéité améliorée de la boîte aux lettres.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages. The present invention is therefore to provide a mailbox available as a kit that is simple structure, economical and light, while ensuring improved sealing of the mailbox.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une boîte aux lettres, livrable en kit, comprenant deux panneaux latéraux espacés et parallèles, un panneau supérieur raccordant les bords supérieurs des panneaux latéraux, un panneau inférieur raccordant les bords inférieurs des panneaux latéraux, un cadre avant délimitant une ouverture dans laquelle est montée pivotante une porte, et un fond, les différents panneaux, le fond et le cadre avant étant réalisés en matière synthétique et étant indépendants les uns des autres et assemblés entre eux, caractérisée en ce que chaque panneau comporte une surface plane prolongée, sur l'un de ses bords adjacent à un autre panneau, par un retour s'étendant sensiblement à 90° par rapport à cette surface plane et venant de moulage avec cette dernière, chaque retour étant destiné au raccordement avec un bord d'un panneau adjacent.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a mailbox, available in kit, comprising two side panels spaced and parallel, an upper panel connecting the upper edges of the side panels, a lower panel connecting the lower edges of the side panels, a front frame defining an opening in which is pivotally mounted a door, and a bottom, the various panels, the bottom and the front frame being made of synthetic material and being independent of each other and assembled together, characterized in that each panel comprises a extended flat surface, on one of its edges adjacent to another panel, by a return extending substantially at 90 ° with respect to this flat surface and integrally molded therewith, each return being for connection to an edge of an adjacent panel.

L'utilisation de matière synthétique pour réaliser les éléments constitutifs de la boîte aux lettres permet d'obtenir des éléments de faible poids et donc facilement manipulables. De plus, l'utilisation de matière synthétique permet de réaliser les éléments par moulage et donc d'obtenir des coûts de fabrication très faibles.The use of synthetic material to achieve the constituent elements of the mailbox makes it possible to obtain elements of low weight and therefore easy to handle. In addition, the use of synthetic material makes it possible to produce the elements by molding and thus to obtain very low manufacturing costs.

Par ailleurs, la présence d'un retour s'étendant sensiblement à 90° au niveau de chaque zone de raccordement entre deux panneaux adjacents permet d'assurer l'étanchéité au niveau de ces raccord et donc d'éviter l'infiltration d'eau à l'intérieur de la boîte aux lettres.Furthermore, the presence of a return extending substantially 90 ° at each connection zone between two adjacent panels makes it possible to ensure the seal at these connections and thus to prevent the infiltration of water. inside the mailbox.

Avantageusement, les panneaux latéraux, supérieur et inférieur sont identiques. Il en résulte un coût de fabrication encore diminué de la boîte aux lettres puisqu'il est possible de réaliser les panneaux latéraux, inférieur et supérieur à partir d'un seul moule.Advantageously, the side panels, upper and lower are identical. This results in a manufacturing cost further reduced by the mailbox since it is possible to make the side panels, lower and upper from a single mold.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque retour comprend une portion arrondie raccordée à la surface plane du panneau correspondant et prolongée par une portion plane formant un angle de 90° avec cette surface plane. De préférence, chaque panneau comprend, sur ses bords avant et arrière, des nervures s'étendant sur au moins une partie de la longueur de ces derniers et destinées à coopérer avec des rainures de forme complémentaire ménagées sur les faces intérieures du cadre avant et du fond. Cette disposition permet d'assurer l'étanchéité des raccords entre les panneaux, le fond et le cadre avant.According to another characteristic of the invention, each return comprises a rounded portion connected to the flat surface of the corresponding panel and extended by a flat portion forming an angle of 90 ° with this flat surface. Preferably, each panel comprises, on its front and rear edges, ribs extending over at least a part of the length thereof and intended to cooperate with grooves of complementary shape formed on the inner faces of the front frame and the background. This arrangement makes it possible to seal the connections between the panels, the bottom and the front frame.

Avantageusement, chaque panneau comprend, sur son bord opposé au retour, une nervure s'étendant sur au moins une partie de la longueur de celui-ci, et sur son bord tourné du côté du retour, une rainure de forme complémentaire, la nervure d'un panneau étant destinée à coopérer avec la rainure complémentaire du panneau adjacent. Cette disposition permet d'assurer l'étanchéité du raccord entre deux panneaux.Advantageously, each panel comprises, on its edge opposite the return, a rib extending over at least a part of the length thereof, and on its edge turned on the return side, a groove of complementary shape, the rib of a panel being adapted to cooperate with the complementary groove of the adjacent panel. This arrangement makes it possible to seal the connection between two panels.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque panneau comprend des premiers et seconds moyens de fixation complémentaires ménagés sensiblement au niveau de ses bords respectivement adjacents à un autre de ces panneaux, les premiers moyens de fixation d'un panneau étant destinés à coopérer avec les seconds moyens de fixation d'un panneau adjacent.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, each panel comprises first and second complementary fastening means formed substantially at its edges respectively adjacent to another of these panels, the first means of fixing a panel being intended to cooperate with the second fastening means of an adjacent panel.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les premiers moyens de fixation ménagés sur chaque panneau comprennent au moins une patte ménagée sur la face intérieure du panneau et s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à celle-ci, chaque patte comprenant une ouverture destinée à permettre le passage de la tige filetée d'une vis de fixation et formant butée pour la tête de celle-ci, et les seconds moyens de fixation ménagés sur chaque panneau comportent au moins un alésage borgne ménagé sur la face intérieure du panneau et destiné à recevoir la tige filetée d'une vis de fixation.According to one embodiment of the invention, the first fastening means provided on each panel comprise at least one lug formed on the inner face of the panel and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each lug comprising an opening intended to allow the passage of the threaded rod of a fixing screw and forming a stop for the head thereof, and the second fixing means provided on each panel comprise at least one blind bore formed on the inner face of the panel and intended to receive the threaded rod of a fixing screw.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, chaque panneau comprend des troisièmes moyens de fixation ménagés sensiblement au niveau de ses bords avant et arrière et destinés à coopérer avec des quatrièmes moyens de fixation complémentaires ménagés sur le fond et le cadre avant.According to another embodiment of the invention, each panel comprises third fastening means formed substantially at its front and rear edges and intended to cooperate with fourth complementary fastening means provided on the bottom and the front frame.

Avantageusement, les premiers et troisièmes moyens de fixation sont identiques, et les seconds et quatrièmes moyens de fixation sont identiques.Advantageously, the first and third fixing means are identical, and the second and fourth fixing means are identical.

De préférence, chaque panneau comprend au moins une zone de plus faible épaisseur adaptée pour permettre, après retrait de celle-ci, le passage de moyens de fixation de la boîte aux lettres sur un support.Preferably, each panel comprises at least one zone of smaller thickness adapted to allow, after removal of the latter, the passage of means for fixing the mailbox on a support.
