Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, in particular a basket or a laundry bin, comprising a body having a bottom wall and a side wall.
  • the invention also relates to a use of such a container.
  • a laundry basket is adapted to carry dirty laundry for washing or wet clean clothes for drying, for example on a clothes rack. Washing accessories, such as brushes or detergent containers, and drying accessories, such as clothespins, are most often transported together with the laundry basket.
  • Washing accessories such as brushes or detergent containers
  • drying accessories such as clothespins
  • it is difficult for the user to carry washing or drying accessories at the same time as the basket, except to put these accessories in the basket, in contact with the laundry, with a risk of burying the accessories under the laundry.
  • the document GB-A-836 349 discloses a basket having a bottom wall, a side wall and a plurality of inner wall members. Such elements can not be tilted between a first stable configuration, in which they bear against the side wall, and a second configuration in which they each define an inner receptacle to the basket. This arrangement does not allow the stacking of the basket with another basket of the same type.
  • the document US-A-2,720,902 provides a laundry trolley with a container.
  • the container includes a receptacle for clothespins. This receptacle can not be brought into a stable position in which it bears against an inner wall of the container. The use of such a container is therefore impractical.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a container, in particular a basket or laundry container, which can be stacked with homologous containers for its storage, while allowing easy transport of linen jointly. with washing or drying accessories.
  • the subject of the invention is a container, in particular a basket or a laundry bin, comprising a body comprising a bottom wall and a side wall, the container further comprising at least one inner wall element, the element comprising an elastically deformable reinforcement, the element being able to be fixed on a part of the lateral wall and able to be tilted, in a configuration fixed on the part, between a first stable configuration, in which it bears against the face internal part of the part, and a second stable configuration, in which it defines with the part a receptacle internal to the body, characterized in that, in the first configuration, the concavity of the frame is oriented towards the inside of the body and, in the second configuration, the concavity of the armature faces the concavity of the sidewall portion.
  • the invention also relates to the use of a container as described above for the storage and transport of laundry, together with washing and drying accessories.
  • the container 1 represented on the figure 1 comprises a body 3, which has a bottom wall 31 of ovoid shape, from which extends a side wall 33 substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 31.
  • the body 3 consists of polypropylene.
  • the body 3 may be made of any other suitable material such as, for example, polyethylene, aluminum, wicker, etc.
  • the side wall 33 is pierced with openings 331.
  • the body 3 is suitable for storing and transporting laundry, especially wet laundry.
  • the upper edge 35 of the side wall 33, opposite the bottom wall 31, forms a folded bead towards the outside of the body 3.
  • Two gripping elements 351 equip two opposite portions of the edge 35 along the greatest length of the body. 3 ovoid, so as to form grip handles of the body 3.
  • the side wall 33 has two curved portions 37, identical to each other and opposite along the greater length of the ovoid body 3.
  • Each portion 37 has a concavity oriented towards the inside of the body 3 and extends in height from the upper edge 35 to a zone 333 of the median side wall 33 between the edge 35 and the bottom wall 31.
  • the container 1 also comprises two elements 5 forming internal walls, each element 5 being fixed on the body 3 at one of the curved portions 37.
  • Each element 5 comprises a perforated reinforcement 51, made of a reinforced thermoplastic material, for example polypropylene filled with glass fibers.
  • the armature 51 has a generally U-shaped peripheral rim 59, the ends of the U-shaped rim 59 being connected to one another by an upper edge 52 of the armature.
  • Each element 5 also comprises a net 53 molded onto the frame 51.
  • each element 5 is fixed rigidly on the corresponding part 37.
  • the frame 51 of each element 5 comprises two lateral lugs 55, which extend from the peripheral edge 59, in the vicinity of the upper edge 52 of the frame.
  • Each tab 55 extends substantially perpendicular to the edge 52, being folded on itself. The tabs 55 are thus able to be inserted by elastic compression into two orifices 375 pierced in the part 37, at the upper edge 35 of the side wall 33.
  • each element 5 comprises a centering tongue 57, which extends from the peripheral edge 59 and which is intended to be received and immobilized, by screwing, riveting or any other suitable method of attachment, in a complementary orifice 377 provided on part 37 at the middle zone 333 of the side wall 33.
  • the peripheral edge 59 in U of the armature 51 is immobilized in abutment against the inner face 37A of the part 37.
  • the armature 51 of each element 5 is elastically deformable and able to be tilted between a first and a second curved and stable configurations.
  • the armature 51 forms a bi-stable element. In other words, the intermediate configurations between the first and second configurations do not exhibit the stability character.
  • each element 5 is able, in a configuration fixed on the corresponding part 37, to adopt a first or a second configuration and to pass from one to the other, these two configurations being represented, respectively, on the left and on the right of Figures 1 and 2 .
  • each element 5 is able to pass from its first configuration to its second configuration under the effect of a force F 1 , applied to the upper edge 52 of the armature 51 and directed away from the portion 37 on which the element 5 is fixed, and its second configuration to its first configuration under the effect of a force F 2 , applied to the upper edge 52 and directed towards the portion 37 on which the element 5 is fixed.
  • Fixing each element 5 on the corresponding part 37 by cooperation between the tabs 55 and the orifices 375 is compatible with the deformation of the armature 51 occurring during the passage of the element 5 between its first and second configurations.
  • the element 5 has a curved shape, substantially complementary to the shape of the parts 37.
  • the element 5 defines with the part 37 a receptacle 7 internal to the body 3.
  • the receptacle 7 can be used for storing washing or drying accessories, while the laundry is stored in the main part of the body 3, delimited by the wall of bottom 31, the side wall 33 and the elements 5 arranged in the continuity of the side wall 33.
  • Fixing each element 5 on the corresponding part 37 by cooperation of the tabs 55 and the tongue 57 with the orifices 375 and 377 guarantees the retention of the element 5 on the part 37 against forces resulting from the stacking of homologous containers on the container 1, when the elements 5 are in the first configuration, or against the weight of accessories stored in the receptacle 7, when the elements 5 are in the second configuration.
  • the armature 51 of each element 5 may be made of any material with suitable mechanical properties, other than polypropylene loaded with glass fibers, allowing the armature to tilt between two stable configurations.
  • the armature 51 may be full, and not perforated as in this first embodiment, overmolding a net on the frame is then not necessary.
  • the container 101 partially shown in these figures comprises a body 103, identical to the body 3 of the container 1 of the first embodiment, comprising a bottom wall and a side wall 133 substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall.
  • the side wall 133 has an upper edge 135, which forms an outwardly folded bead of the body 103, and two curved portions 137, identical to each other and opposite along the length of the body 103, the concavity of each portion 137 being oriented towards the interior of the body 103.
  • the container 101 also comprises two elements 105 forming internal walls, each fixed on the body 103 at one of the curved parts 137.
  • Each element 105 comprises an upper band 151 forming a frame of the element 105 and made of a material reinforced thermoplastic, for example polypropylene filled with glass fibers.
  • Each element 105 also comprises a net 153, integral with the strip 151 and delimited by a generally U-shaped peripheral edge 159.
  • the edge 159 is made of silicone or any other suitable material and is connected to the strip 151 at each of the ends 151 A of it.
  • Each element 105 is rigidly attached to the corresponding portion 137. More specifically, each of the two ends 151 A of the strip 151 is secured to a stud 136 arranged on the upper edge 135 of the side wall 133. Advantageously, the joining of the ends 151 A with the studs 136 allows a rotation R of each end 151A around the associated stud 136.
  • Each element 105 also comprises a centering tab 157, which extends from the peripheral edge 159 and which is intended to be received and immobilized in a complementary orifice 138 provided on the part 137 at the median zone of the wall 133. In the fixed configuration of an element 105 on the corresponding portion 137, the peripheral edge 159 in U is immobilized in abutment against the inner face 137A of the portion 137.
  • each element 105 is elastically deformable and able to be tilted between first and second curved and stable configurations, which are respectively represented on the Figures 5 and 6 .
  • the band 151 forms a bi-stable element.
  • each element 105 is able, in configuration fixed on the corresponding part 137, to be tilted between a first or a second configuration under the effect of a force F 1 or F 2 applied to the strip 151, so as to make tilt the strip 151 between its two stable configurations.
  • the first configuration of an element 105 visible on the figure 5 the element 105 bears against the internal face 137A of the part 137, the concavity of the strip 151 being oriented towards the inside of the body 103.
  • the container 101 is able to receive in interlocking another similar container 101.
  • the concavity of the strip 151 faces the concavity of the part 137 and the element 105 defines with the part 137 a receptacle 107 internal to the body 103.
  • the fixing of the ends 151 A of the strip 151 at the studs 136 with the possibility of rotation R facilitates the passage of the element 105 between its first and second configurations.
  • a container 1, 101 according to the invention is able to be stacked with other similar containers 1, 101 when the elements 5, 105 are in the first configuration, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the containers 1, 101 for their storage.
  • a container 1, 101 according to the invention is able to receive laundry in the main part of the body 3, 103 and washing or drying accessories in each receptacle 7, 107 when the elements 5, 105 are in the second configuration. This results in an easy transport of laundry in the container 1, 101 together with accessories, which is particularly advantageous when the container 1, 101 is filled with laundry and has a significant weight.
  • the elements 5, 105 being integral with the body 3, 103, there is no risk of loss of the elements 5, 105.
  • the passage between the first and second configurations of the elements 5, 105 is also particularly easy, by the application of a force F 1 , F 2 on an upper part of an armature 51, 151 of each element 5, 105.
  • each element 5, 105 can be fixed on a part 37, 137 by any appropriate means other than the fixing means implemented in the previous embodiments.
  • the number of elements 5, 105 and parts 37, 137 of the body 3, 103 may also be different from two, depending on the desired number of receptacles 7, 107.
  • each element 5, 105 of a container according to the invention can be fixed on the body 3, 103 of the container by overmoulding, or even molded in one piece therewith.
  • a container 1, 101 according to the invention can be used for other applications than the storage and transport of laundry, the size and the rigidity of the body 3, 103 and elements 5, 105 being adapted according to the use.
  • Such a container 1, 101 with retractable lateral compartment can be used in various applications requiring in particular the separation of elements of different natures, as an example in any storage device.
