Definitions

  • the present invention relates to furniture, in particular drawers blocks sometimes called boxes, used for storage in offices or private homes.
  • the known boxes are of rectangular parallelepiped shape, with drawers arranged to allow the storage of hanging files, office equipment, etc. They can be fitted with casters and are often used as office trolleys;
  • boxes whether of wood, synthetic material or metal, have a smooth upper surface on which the user can place, for example, a telephone handset, files, mail or various other objects.
  • Boxes of this type have the drawback that objects placed on their upper surface can easily fall, in particular when moving a box or during cleaning. In addition, they are, when two boxes are placed one on top of the other, very unstable so that the use of such boxes to form columns is practically impossible.
  • US-A-3,506,321 discloses boxes provided with drawers and which can be assembled in superposition.
  • Each box has, in the front part and in the rear part, latching means capable of cooperating with a box positioned above and a box positioned below, the latching means of the rear part being provided on an elastic plate so to facilitate assembly.
  • the elastic plate is deformed to allow the latching at the front of the box then, when it returns to its initial shape, the latching at the rear is ensured.
  • This type of box therefore requires the provision of particular snap-fastening means in the front part and an elastic plate in the rear part.
  • this manipulation of the elastic plate proves difficult to implement when assembling a box of the type of a box of large dimensions.
  • FR-A-2,158,058 is a frame for storage or presentation of products consisting of a superposition of trays connected by support elements positioned and snapped at the corners of said trays. This type of assembly requires the provision of complementary latching means on one and the other of the superimposed objects.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of known boxes.
  • the subject of the invention is a block of drawers or a box of rectangular parallelepipedal shape provided with at least one drawer, characterized in that its free upper surface has a continuous peripheral border projecting from the outside upwards. in relation to this audit box and arranged to cooperate with interlocking with the lower part of an identical box.
  • the upper peripheral edge of the box according to the invention makes it possible to maintain the objects placed on the box or, when it is desired to build a column, to stabilize the stack by means of the interlocking of the lower portion of the box, of course without '' any casters.
  • the surface inside said border is ridged, this surface then constituting with the border a mail receptacle.
  • said continuous peripheral border is in one piece with a flat surface forming a bottom and comprising mounting means, such as screw through holes, on the upper surface of a box.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a device for transforming a box consisting of a substantially flat surface surrounded by a continuous upper peripheral edge and provided with mounting means, such as screw passage holes, on the surface. upper part of a box, said device being arranged to cooperate with interlocking with the lower part of an identical box.
  • a box 1 can be provided with a removable transformation device 2. It is however also within the scope of the invention to provide that the transformation device 2 is permanently mounted on the box 1 or a box (not shown) whose upper surface includes the characteristics of the present invention, the upper face of the box then being originally fitted for this purpose.
  • the box 1 comprises drawers and can, optionally, be provided with rollers (not shown) allowing easy movement.
  • a transformation device 2 is provided with an upper continuous peripheral border 3, 4 and a lower continuous peripheral border 5.
  • the front portion 4 of the upper border is slightly lower than the rest of the border 3, in order to form, with a bottom 6 of the processing device 2, the equivalent of a mail receptacle.
  • the bottom 6 has ribs 7 on its upper surface and is provided with four holes 8.
  • the dimensions of the upper peripheral edge 3, 4 correspond to those of the outer periphery of the base 9 of the box 1 so that, when a box 1 '(FIG. 3) identical to the box 1, is stacked on top, its base 9 'fits into the upper peripheral edge 3, 4 of the transformation device 2.
  • the dimensions of the lower peripheral border 5 are chosen such that this border 5 fits on the upper face 10 of the box 1.
  • the transformation device 2 can be fixed to the box 1 by screws or bolts passing through the holes 8 in the bottom 6 and holes 11 made in the upper face 10 of the box 1, which holes 11 can be masked, in a conventional manner, by lids 12 (see FIG. 3).
  • the transformation device 2 can be made of any material and by any suitable process. It is preferably made of a molded synthetic material, for example polypropylene.
  • the transformation device 2 which has just been described can also be used in the factory to directly constitute the upper face of a box which would therefore not have an upper face such as that shown in the drawing with the reference numeral 10.
