De même, la forme générale d'un tel caisson 2 peut être différente d'une forme parallélépipédique à six faces régulières ou non.  The faces of the box 2 are delimited by pieces extending over part or all of said faces. The relative dimensions of the faces of the box 2 in the drawings are given solely by way of example but may of course vary according to the nature of the apparatus 1. Similarly, the general shape of such a box 2 may be different of a parallelepipedal shape with six regular faces or not.
Ainsi comme illustré sur les dessins, le caisson 2 comporte deux faces de liaison en biais dites avant 11 et deux faces de liaison en biais dites arrière 13. Plus précisément, la face avant 4 du caisson est raccordée de part et d'autre, aux faces latérales 6, 7, par les faces de liaison en biais avant 11, tandis que la face arrière 5 du caisson est raccordée de part et d'autre, aux faces latérales 6, 7, par les faces de liaison en biais arrière 13.  Thus, as illustrated in the drawings, the casing 2 comprises two angled connecting faces, said before 11, and two so-called rear connecting faces 13. More specifically, the front face 4 of the casing is connected on both sides to the side faces 6, 7, by the front sloping connection faces 11, while the rear face 5 of the box is connected on either side, to the side faces 6, 7, by the rear-sided connection faces 13.
Le caisson 2 présente ainsi en vue de dessus, un profil octogonal. Dans l'exemple illustré, le caisson 2 possède un pourtour périmétrique de profil octogonal qui est irrégulier ou dissymétrique puisque les faces de liaison en biais 11 et 13 possèdent des longueurs inférieures aux longueurs des faces avant, arrière et latérales. Bien entendu, le caisson 2 peut présenter un profil octogonal régulier ou symétrique c'est-à-dire à huit faces de mêmes longueurs. The casing 2 thus has a top view of an octagonal profile. In the example shown, the box 2 has a perimetric perimetric profile octagonal which is irregular or asymmetrical since the angled connection faces 11 and 13 have lengths shorter than the lengths of the front, rear and side faces. Of course, the box 2 may have a regular octagonal or symmetrical profile that is to say eight faces of the same lengths.
Conformément à l'invention, l'appareil 1 comporte un habillage 15 amovible par rapport au caisson 2. L'habillage 15 de cet appareil présente ainsi la particularité d'être interchangeable facilement pour modifier en particulier son aspect esthétique. Cet habillage amovible 15 comporte au moins un parement 16 de forme générale en U pour recouvrir au moins la face avant 4 et les faces latérales 6, 7 du caisson 2. Le parement 16 présente des dimensions pour recouvrir totalement la face avant 4 et les faces latérales 6 et 7 du caisson 2.  According to the invention, the apparatus 1 comprises a dressing 15 removable from the box 2. The dressing 15 of this device and has the particularity of being interchangeable easily to change in particular its aesthetic appearance. This removable covering 15 comprises at least one facing 16 of generally U-shaped to cover at least the front face 4 and the side faces 6, 7 of the box 2. The facing 16 has dimensions to completely cover the front face 4 and the faces side 6 and 7 of the casing 2.
Ce parement 16 présente ainsi une paroi de façade 18 se prolongeant de part et d'autre, par des parois de côté 19. En position montée, la paroi de façade 18 et les parois de côté 19 du parement 16 s'étendent en vis-à-vis respectivement de Sa face avant 4 et des faces latérales 6 et 7 du caisson 2. Les parois de côté 19 s'étendent ainsi parallèlement entre elles et sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à la paroi de façade 18.  This facing 16 thus has a front wall 18 extending on either side, by side walls 19. In the mounted position, the front wall 18 and the side walls 19 of the facing 16 extend in the opposite direction. with respect to its front face 4 and the side faces 6 and 7 of the box 2. The side walls 19 thus extend parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the front wall 18.
Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, le parement 16 présente une forme congruente ou complémentaire de la forme d'au moins de la face avant 4 et des faces latérales 6, 7 du caisson en recouvrant totalement ces faces. Ainsi dans l'exemple illustré, la paroi de façade 18 du parement 16 est raccordée aux parois de côté 19 par des parois de liaison 21 s'étendant en biais et en vis-à-vis des faces de liaison en biais avant 11 du caisson.  According to a preferred embodiment, the facing 16 has a shape congruent or complementary to the shape of at least the front face 4 and the side faces 6, 7 of the box completely covering these faces. Thus in the example shown, the front wall 18 of the cladding 16 is connected to the side walls 19 by connecting walls 21 extending obliquely and vis-à-vis the connecting faces 11 at the front of the box .
Avantageusement, les parois de côté 19 du parement 16 sont prolongées à l'opposé des parois de liaison 21, par des parois de finition 22 s'étendant en biais en vis-à-vis des faces de liaison en biais arrière 13 du caisson 2. Ces parois de finition 22 permettent de conférer à l'appareil 1, par le parement 16, un effet esthétique certain sur pratiquement toute la périphérie de l'appareil. Il est à noter que le parement 16 présente une forme en U de préférence complétée par les parois de finition 22 qui s'étendent l'une vers l'autre, conférant ainsi au parement 16, une forme de pince contribuant à un assemblage intime avec le caisson. En position montée, le parement 16 se trouve ainsi plus ou moins en contact sur toute sa surface, avec la face avant 4, les faces latérales 6, 7 et une partie de la face arrière 5. Advantageously, the side walls 19 of the cladding 16 are extended opposite the connecting walls 21, by finishing walls 22 extending obliquely vis-a-vis the connecting faces at the rear 13 of the wedge 2 These finishing walls 22 make it possible to give the appliance 1, by the facing 16, a certain aesthetic effect on practically the entire periphery of the appliance. It should be noted that the facing 16 has a U shape preferably complemented by the finishing walls 22 which extend towards one another, thus giving the facing 16, a form of clamp contributing to an intimate assembly with the box. In the mounted position, the facing 16 is thus more or less in contact over its entire surface, with the front face 4, the side faces 6, 7 and a part of the rear face 5.
Indépendamment de sa forme générale en U, le parement 16 peut présenter des contours adaptés au caisson 2. Dans l'exemple illustré, le parement 16 comporte une découpe circulaire 25 aménagée dans la paroi de façade 18 pour permettre le montage sur le caisson, d'un composant 26 tel qu'un élément optique destiné à être encastré dans une ouverture 27 aménagée dans la face avant 4 du caisson.  Independently of its general U shape, the facing 16 may have contours adapted to the caisson 2. In the example shown, the facing 16 has a circular cutout 25 arranged in the front wall 18 to allow mounting on the caisson, d a component 26 such as an optical element intended to be embedded in an opening 27 arranged in the front face 4 of the box.
Le montage du parement 16 sur le caisson 2 est réalisé par le glissement vertical du parement 16 sur le caisson 2. Dans le cas où le caisson est pourvu d'un composant 26 rapporté, ce composant 26 est fixé sur ie caisson après le positionnement du parement 16 sur le caisson 2. Le parement 16 se trouve ainsi interposé entre le caisson 2 et le composant rapporté 26.  The mounting of the facing 16 on the box 2 is achieved by the vertical sliding of the facing 16 on the box 2. In the case where the box is provided with a component 26 reported, this component 26 is fixed on the box after positioning the facing 16 on the casing 2. The facing 16 is thus interposed between the casing 2 and the reported component 26.
Le parement 16 est réalisé en divers matériaux choisis seul ou en combinaison, pour présenter une rigidité suffisante ou adaptée pour permettre son montage sur le caisson 2 tout en conférant à l'appareil 1 un aspect esthétique déterminé. Selon un exemple de réalisation, ce parement 16 est réalisé en une seule pièce d'un unique matériau tel que par exemple en pierre, en verre ou en métal avec une finition particulière (brossée, polie ou peinte par exemple).  The facing 16 is made of various materials chosen alone or in combination, to have sufficient rigidity or adapted to allow its mounting on the box 2 while giving the device 1 a particular aesthetic appearance. According to an exemplary embodiment, the facing 16 is made in one piece of a single material such as for example stone, glass or metal with a particular finish (brushed, polished or painted for example).
Selon un autre exemple de réalisation, ce parement 16 comporte une plaque de support sur laquelle est rapporté extérieurement, un revêtement déterminé conférant au parement son aspect esthétique déterminé. Ce revêtement est avantageusement fixé ou solidarisé par tous moyens appropriés sur la plaque de support. Par exemple, cette plaque de support peut être réalisée en un matériau métallique te! qu'en aluminium, en étant recouverte en tant que revêtement, par du tissu, du cuir, du bois, des feuilles d'or et/ou un transfert imprimé par exemple. According to another embodiment, this facing 16 comprises a support plate to which is reported externally, a determined coating conferring on the facing its aesthetic appearance determined. This coating is advantageously fixed or secured by any appropriate means on the support plate. For example, this support plate can be made of a metal material te! than aluminum, being covered as a coating by fabric, leather, wood, gold leaf and / or a printed transfer for example.
Selon une variante préférée de réalisation, l'habillage amovible 15 comporte également une plaque supérieure 30 recouvrant la face de dessus 8 du caisson 2 et fixée au caisson 2 par un système de fixation démontable 31. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de réalisation, la plaque supérieure 30 de l'habillage amovible 15 comporte une rainure 33 permettant l'insertion de la tranche supérieure du parement 16 et le maintien en position du parement 16. Bien entendu, la plaque supérieure 30 déborde par rapport à la face de dessus 8 du caisson 8 de sorte que la rainure 33 puisse recevoir la tranche du parement 16 placé autour du caisson 2.  According to a preferred embodiment, the removable covering 15 also comprises an upper plate 30 covering the top face 8 of the box 2 and fixed to the box 2 by a removable fastening system 31. According to an advantageous embodiment, the top plate 30 of the removable covering 15 has a groove 33 for the insertion of the upper edge of the facing 16 and the holding in position of the facing 16. Of course, the upper plate 30 overflows with respect to the top face 8 of the housing 8 so that the groove 33 can receive the edge of the facing 16 placed around the casing 2.
Selon l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les dessins, la plaque supérieure 30 n'est pas une plaque pleine mais se limite à une ceinture périphérique. En complément de cette plaque supérieure 30, l'habillage amovible 15 comporte selon cet exemple de réalisation, un plateau de finition 30a venant recouvrir complètement la plaque supérieure 30. Bien entendu, la plaque supérieure 30 peut être réalisée de toute manière appropriée, pleine ou ajourée, seule ou en combinaison avec un plateau de finition.  According to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the upper plate 30 is not a solid plate but is limited to a peripheral belt. In addition to this upper plate 30, the removable covering 15 comprises, according to this exemplary embodiment, a finishing plate 30a completely covering the upper plate 30. Of course, the upper plate 30 can be made in any appropriate manner, solid or openwork, alone or in combination with a finishing tray.
Selon une variante avantageuse de réalisation, l'habillage amovible 15 comporte également une plaque inférieure 35 recouvrant la face de dessous 9 du caisson 2 et fixée au caisson 2 par un système de fixation amovible 36, Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de réalisation, la plaque inférieure 35 de l'habillage amovible 15 comporte une rainure 37 pour l'insertion de la tranche inférieure du parement 16 et le maintien en position du parement 16. Bien entendu, la plaque inférieure 35 déborde par rapport à la face de dessous 9 du caisson afin que la rainure 37 puisse recevoir la tranche du parement 16 placé autour du caisson 2.  According to an advantageous variant of embodiment, the removable covering 15 also comprises a lower plate 35 covering the bottom face 9 of the box 2 and fixed to the box 2 by a removable fixing system 36, According to an advantageous characteristic of realization, the lower plate 35 of the removable covering 15 has a groove 37 for the insertion of the lower edge of the facing 16 and the holding in position of the facing 16. Of course, the lower plate 35 overflows with respect to the bottom face 9 of the box so that the groove 37 can receive the edge of the facing 16 placed around the casing 2.
Les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 sont réalisées en tous matériaux constitutifs appropriés. Par exemple, les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 sont réalisées en un matériau métallique alors que le plateau de finition 30a est réalisée en verre permettant de voir l'intérieur de l'appareil 1. Upper and lower plates 35 are made of any suitable constituent materials. For example, the top 30 and bottom 35 plates are made of a metallic material while the plateau 30a is made of glass to see the inside of the device 1.
Il doit être compris que selon cette forme de réalisation préférée, le parement 16 se trouve maintenu assemblée en position par les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 dans lesquelles les tranches supérieure et inférieure du parement sont engagées. A cet effet, le parement 16 possède une hauteur légèrement supérieure à la hauteur du caisson 2 définie par les faces avant 4, arrière 5 et les faces latérales 6, 7 du caisson pour permettre l'engagement des chants supérieur et inférieur du parement dans les rainures 33, 37 des plaques. De surcroit, l'engagement du parement 16 dans les rainures 33, 37 des plaques contribue à l'effet esthétique d'un tel habillage. Les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 préservent également l'intégrité au parement 16.  It should be understood that according to this preferred embodiment, the cladding 16 is held in position by the upper and lower plates 35 in which the upper and lower edges of the cladding are engaged. For this purpose, the facing 16 has a height slightly greater than the height of the box 2 defined by the front faces 4, rear 5 and the side faces 6, 7 of the box to allow the engagement of the upper and lower edges of the facing in the grooves 33, 37 of the plates. In addition, the engagement of the facing 16 in the grooves 33, 37 of the plates contributes to the aesthetic effect of such a covering. The upper and lower plates 35 also preserve the integrity of the facing 16.
La plaque supérieure 30 est assemblée au caisson par un système de fixation démontable 31 réalisé de toutes manières appropriées. Il est à noter que dans l'exemple illustré, le plateau de finition 30a est également assemblé au caisson par le système de fixation démontable 31. De même, la plaque inférieure 35 est assemblée au caisson 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un système de fixation démontable 36 réalisé de toutes manières appropriées.  The upper plate 30 is assembled to the box by a removable fastening system 31 made in any suitable manner. It should be noted that in the example shown, the finishing plate 30a is also assembled to the box by the removable fixing system 31. Similarly, the lower plate 35 is assembled to the box 2 via a system of assembly. removable fastener 36 made in any suitable manner.
Selon un exemple préféré de réalisation, les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 sont fixées à l'aide des systèmes de fixation démontables 31, 36 sur les extrémités de colonnes de support 40.  According to a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower plates 35 are fixed by means of the removable fastening systems 31, 36 on the ends of support columns 40.
Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des Fig. 2 et 3, les colonnes support 40 sont montées à l'intérieur du caisson 2 afin que leurs extrémités puissent être accessibles à partir des faces de dessus 8 et de dessous 9. Les colonnes support 40 traversent le caisson 2 sur toute sa hauteur, de la face de dessous 9 à la face de dessus 8. Dans l'exemple illustré, le caisson 2 comporte quatre colonnes de support 40 disposées sensiblement dans chaque coin du caisson 2. Bien entendu, le nombre de colonnes support 40 peut être différent par exemple égal à trois ou à cinq.  As is more particularly apparent from Figs. 2 and 3, the support columns 40 are mounted inside the box 2 so that their ends can be accessible from the top faces 8 and 9 below. The support columns 40 pass through the box 2 over its entire height, from the underside 9 to the top face 8. In the illustrated example, the box 2 comprises four support columns 40 disposed substantially in each corner of the box 2. Of course, the number of support columns 40 may be different for example equal to three or five.
Le système de fixation démontable 36 de la plaque inférieure 35 comporte pour chaque colonne support 40, des pieds 50 engagés dans les extrémités inférieures des colonnes 40. La plaque inférieure 35 est montée entre ces pieds 50 et la face de dessous 9 du caisson. The removable fixing system 36 of the lower plate 35 comprises for each support column 40, feet 50 engaged in the lower ends of the columns 40. The lower plate 35 is mounted between these feet 50 and the bottom face 9 of the box.
Selon une variante préférée de réalisation, chaque pied 50 est pourvu d'un prolongement fileté 51 se vissant dans un taraudage 52 aménagé à partir de l'extrémité inférieure de chaque colonne support 40. L'appareil 1 est donc apte à reposer par ses pieds 50 au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple illustré, sur un support de sorte que les plaques supérieure 30 et inférieure 35 puissent s'établir dans des plans horizontaux.  According to a preferred embodiment, each leg 50 is provided with a threaded extension 51 screwed into a tapping 52 arranged from the lower end of each support column 40. The apparatus 1 is therefore able to rest by its feet Four in the illustrated example, on a support so that the upper and lower plates 35 can be established in horizontal planes.
Dans l'exemple illustré, le système de fixation démontable 31 de la plaque supérieure 30 comporte des vis 55 ancrées dans les extrémités supérieures des colonnes support 40 pourvues chacune à cet effet d'un trou taraudé 56 aménagé à partir de l'extrémité supérieure des colonnes support 40. La plaque supérieure 30 est montée entre la tête 57 de ces vis et la face de dessus 8 du caisson 2. Dans l'exemple illustré, le plateau de finition 30a reçoit la tête 57 de ces vis.  In the example illustrated, the removable fastening system 31 of the upper plate 30 comprises screws 55 anchored in the upper ends of the support columns 40 each provided for this purpose with a threaded hole 56 arranged from the upper end of the support columns 40. The upper plate 30 is mounted between the head 57 of these screws and the top face 8 of the box 2. In the example illustrated, the finishing plate 30a receives the head 57 of these screws.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, les vis 55 du système de fixation démontable de la plaque supérieure 30 présentent une tête plate 59 (Fig. 1) venant s'encastrer dans un logement complémentaire 60 aménagé dans la plaque supérieure 30 ou comme dans l'exemple illustré, dans le plateau de finition 30a. De telles vis à tête plate 59 sont utilisées lorsque la plaque supérieure 30 de l'appareil ne reçoit pas un autre appareil en position superposée.  According to a first variant of embodiment, the screws 55 of the removable fastening system of the upper plate 30 have a flat head 59 (FIG 1) which fits into a complementary housing 60 arranged in the upper plate 30 or as in FIG. illustrated example, in the finishing tray 30a. Such flathead screws 59 are used when the top plate 30 of the apparatus does not receive another apparatus in a superimposed position.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation, les vis 55 du système de fixation démontable de la plaque supérieure 30 comportent des tétons 61 engagés dans des logements 62 aménagés dans les pieds 50 du système de fixation démontable de la plaque inférieure d'un appareil 1 placé en position superposée (Fig. 3). Une telle disposition permet de réaliser un équipement comportant une série d'appareils 1 conformes à l'invention placée en position superposée. Dans cette position superposée, la charge des appareils 1 est reprise par les colonnes support 40.  According to another variant embodiment, the screws 55 of the removable fastening system of the upper plate 30 comprise studs 61 engaged in housings 62 arranged in the feet 50 of the dismountable fastening system of the lower plate of an apparatus 1 placed in superimposed position (Fig. 3). Such an arrangement makes it possible to produce equipment comprising a series of apparatuses 1 according to the invention placed in superimposed position. In this superimposed position, the load of the apparatus 1 is taken up by the support columns 40.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de réalisation, deux appareils 1 conformes à l'invention placés en position superposée sont verrouillés ensemble à l'aide d'au moins une et de manière générale, de vis de blocage 65 venant s'ancrer dans les pieds 50 de l'appareil 1 placé en position superposée, pour verrouiller les tétons 61 de l'appareil 1 placé en dessous. According to an advantageous characteristic of realization, two apparatuses 1 according to the invention placed in superimposed position are locked together using at least one and generally locking screw 65 anchored in the feet 50 of the apparatus 1 placed in a superimposed position, to lock the pins 61 of the apparatus 1 placed in below.
II ressort de la description qui précède que l'habillage 1 pour un tel appareil 1 peut être changé à volonté facilement. Il peut être prévu de changer le parement 16 uniquement et/ou également la plaque supérieure 30 et/ou la plaque inférieure 35 et/ou le plateau de finition 30a.  It follows from the foregoing description that the covering 1 for such a device 1 can be changed at will easily. It may be provided to change the cladding 16 only and / or also the top plate 30 and / or the bottom plate 35 and / or the top plate 30a.
Le changement du parement 16 est facile à mener à bien puisqu'il suffit de retirer l'une des plaques par exemple la plaque supérieure 30, voire également du plateau de finition 30a par le démontage du système de fixation 31. Après le retrait du composant 26, il suffit de soulever le parement 16 pour le retirer et le remplacer par un parement présentant un aspect esthétique différent.  The change of the cladding 16 is easy to carry out since it suffices to remove one of the plates, for example the top plate 30, or even the top plate 30a by dismounting the fastening system 31. After removing the component 26, simply lift the facing 16 to remove it and replace it with a siding with a different aesthetic appearance.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.  The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown because various modifications can be made without departing from its scope.
