Description

Title of the invention: Interior residential door with integrated housing for storage module Field of invention

[0001] The present patent application relates to the field of interior residential doors.

[0002] The present invention will find, in a non-exclusive manner, advantageous applications in the field of housing, in particular by equipping a room of reduced surface area, such as a bathroom or toilet. State of the art

[0003] Optimizing space in a home is a constant challenge, particularly optimizing storage space.

[0004] For this purpose, it is known to arrange storage in unused spaces such as spaces under roof slopes or high spaces, which can accommodate shelves or other storage boxes, for example. Statement of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims in particular to propose an alternative solution which makes it possible to compensate for the lack of surface area in a room of a dwelling by optimizing the storage space.

[0006] This objective, as well as others which will become apparent upon reading the following description, is achieved with an interior residential door comprising a central core which is interposed between a first back panel and a second front panel, characterized in that the central core and the front panel delimit at least one recess which forms a housing suitable for accommodating a storage module.

[0007] Thus, the recess delimited by the door according to the invention offers additional storage volume compared to a solid door, which can accommodate at least one storage module, of the shelf type for example.

[0008] According to other optional characteristics of the invention, taken alone or in combination:

[0009] - the recess is delimited by a bottom which is formed by the back panel. This feature allows to optimize the volume of the recess which almost corresponds to the total thickness of the door;

[0010] - the recess has a parallelepiped shape;

[0011] - the central core comprises a plurality of structural elements which form a frame. This frame contributes advantageously to the mechanical strength of the door;

[0012] - the structural elements of the central core are glued at least to the back panel of the door. This feature allows the door to form a non-deformable unit;

[0013] - the recess comprises a peripheral frame which is formed by the central core of the door. The peripheral frame of the recess thus forms a structure on which the storage module can be fixed;

[0014] - it comprises a plurality of fixing inserts which are mounted on the peri frame spherical recess, to allow the storage module to be fixed;

[0015] - the storage module is fixed to the door by a plurality of elements of fasteners which each cooperate with a fixing insert secured to the door;

[0016] - the central core and the front panel delimit a plurality of recesses which each form a housing suitable for accommodating a storage module;

[0017] - the door comprises at least one storage module which is housed in the ren pit provided for this purpose. Description of the drawings

[0025] In the description and the claims, the terminology "vertical" will be adopted without limitation, considering the door according to the invention in a configuration of use mounted pivoting on a frame around a vertical axis.

[0026] Throughout these figures, identical or similar elements are identified by identical or similar reference signs. Detailed description

[0027] Figures 1 and 2 show an interior residential door 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention.

[0028] The door 10 comprises a central core 12 which is interposed between a first back panel 14 and a second front panel 16.

[0029] The central core 12 and the front panel 16 delimit a recess 18 which forms a housing suitable for accommodating a 20 storage module.

[0030] Also, the central core 12 comprises a plurality of structural elements 22 which form a framework.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, each structural element 22 is formed by a wooden strip.

[0032] The structural elements 22 of the core 12 form a rectangular outer frame 24 which comprises a first vertical upright 26 and a second vertical upright 28 which are connected to each other by a first upper crosspiece 30 and a second lower crosspiece 32.

[0033] The recess 18 is delimited by a peripheral frame 34 which is formed by the structural elements 22 of the central core 12, and more particularly by a central portion 36 of the first vertical upright 26, a third vertical upright 38, a third upper crosspiece 40 and a fourth lower crosspiece 42.

[0034] In addition, the front panel 16 of the door 10 has a light 43 which borders the peripheral frame 34 of the recess 18.

[0035] As can be seen in [Fig. 2], the structural elements 22 of the core 12 comprise a first series of spacers 44 which extend vertically between the first cross member 30 and the third upper cross member 40, a second series of spacers 46 which extend vertically between the second cross member 32 and the fourth lower cross member 42 and a third series of spacers 48 which extend transversely between the second upright 28 and the third upright 38.

[0036] The spacers 44 are arranged in a ladder and are distributed regularly.

[0037] It will be understood that the structural elements 22 which form the central core 12 are designed and arranged in particular to ensure the mechanical resistance of door 10.

[0038] For this purpose, the structural elements 22 are glued to the back panel 14 and to the front panel 16 of the door 10, to form a non-deformable assembly.

[0039] Advantageously, the voids which are delimited between the structural elements 22 of the central core 12, with the exception of the recess 18, can be filled with a sound and / or thermal insulator.

[0040] Still with reference to [Fig.2], the door 10 is equipped with a lock block 50 which is interposed between the second upright 28 and the third upright 38, and which is associated with a handle 52 to allow the opening and closing of the door 10 when it is mounted on a frame (not shown).

[0041] The recess 18 has a parallelepiped shape and is delimited by a bottom 54 which is formed by the back panel 14.

[0042] The back panel 14 and the front panel 16 are made of compressed wood fibers, for example.

[0043] With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the storage module 20, which is arranged in the recess 18 provided for this purpose, comprises a first upright 54 and a second vertical upright 56 ​​which are connected to each other by a first upper crosspiece 58 and a second lower crosspiece 60.

[0044] The storage module 20 is equipped with five shelves 61 with rims which are provided for the storage and arrangement of various objects.

[0045] To ensure the fixing of the storage module 20 on the door 10, four nut-type fixing inserts 62 are mounted on the peripheral frame 34 of the recess 18 of the door 10, as can be seen in [Fig.2].

[0046] Among the four inserts 62, two inserts are mounted on the central portion 36 of the first vertical upright 26, and two inserts are mounted on the third vertical upright 38.

[0047] In a complementary manner, the storage module 20 is fixed to the door 10 by four fixing elements 64 which each cooperate with an associated insert 62.

[0048] The four fixing elements 64 are for example four screws which each comprise a threaded body which cooperates with a complementary tapped hole formed by the associated insert 62.

[0049] Without limitation, the storage module 20 may have the shape of a shelf module as described previously, or the shape of a box which is closed by one or more openings, for example.

[0050] In fact, the term “storage module” means a removable or sedentary module which is suitable for the storage and arrangement of various objects.

[0051] It will be noted that the storage module 20 projects relative to the front panel 16 of the door 10, in a direction perpendicular to the general plane of the door 10, to optimize the storage volume provided by the storage module 20.

[0052] However, in order to limit the thickness of the assembly formed by the door 10 and the storage module 20, the storage module 20 can be designed to be flush with the front panel 16 of the door 10.

[0053] Figures 3 and 4 show the interior residential door 10 according to a second embodiment of the invention.

[0054] The door 10 according to the second embodiment is distinguished from the door 10 according to the first embodiment previously described, by a substantially different central core 12.

[0055] Indeed, with reference to [Fig.4], the door 10 according to the second embodiment of the invention has a symmetrical design along a vertical median axis A, so that the core 12 of the door 10 according to the second embodiment of the invention comprises a fourth vertical upright 66.

[0056] The fourth upright 66 is arranged opposite the third upright 38, and it belongs to the peripheral frame 34 which delimits the recess 18.

[0057] In addition, the structural elements 22 of the core 12 comprise a fourth series of spacers 48 which are arranged in a ladder-like manner in a regular manner and which extend transversely between the first upright 26 and the fourth upright 66.

[0058] Furthermore, by symmetry along the axis A, the door 10 according to the second embodiment is equipped with a first lock block 69a and a second lock block 69b, which makes it possible to mount the handle 52 on one side of the door 10 or the other, depending on the desired opening direction of the door 10.

[0059] Figures 5 and 6 show the interior residential door 10 according to a third embodiment of the invention.

[0060] The door 10 according to the third embodiment is distinguished from the door 10 according to the second embodiment previously described, in that it comprises a first recess 68a and a second recess 68b which each form a housing adapted to accommodate a storage module 20a, 20b respectively.

[0061] Thus, with reference to [Fig.6], the structural elements 22 of the core 12 of the door 10 according to the third embodiment of the invention comprise a first separator 70a and a second separator 70b which extend transversely between the fourth upright 66 and the third upright 38, to form the first recess 68a and the second recess 68b.

[0062] Naturally, the invention is described in the above by way of example. It is understood that those skilled in the art are able to carry out different variant embodiments of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention.
