Abstract

The storage cell includes ventilation means suitable for creating a rear-to-front air flow or a front-to-rear air flow, an inflatable sealing device, and inflation means which allow the inflatable sealing device to be inflated. The inflatable sealing device includes an upper inflatable sealing element and at least one side inflatable sealing element which directly or indirectly allow, in the inflated state, a seal between the upper wall of the cell and at least one part of the top face of a set of products positioned in the cell and a seal between at least one side wall of the cell and at least one part of one of the side faces of this set of products. The upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element delimit a single inflatable chamber, and the inflation means allow the upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element to be inflated by blowing air into this single inflatable chamber.

Abstract

A cell (1) for storing a set (2) of products (20) includes ventilation means (4) for creating a rear-to-front air flow (A) circulating in the housing (14) and at least one first sealing device (5 or 6) having a first flexible sealing element (50 or 60) that is inflatable in relation to one of the walls (10, 11, 12) of the cell and towards the inside of the housing (14) under the effect of an air pressure which is generated in the housing (14) by said air flow. The first sealing device (5 or 6) has at least one second sealing element (52 or 62) that can be actuated between an inactive configuration and an active configuration in which it exerts a mechanical pressure on part of the first flexible sealing element (50 or 60).

Abstract

The storage cell (1A) has ventilation means (4) which are able to create a rear/front air flow (A) or a front/rear air flow, an inflatable sealing device (7A) and inflation means for inflating the inflatable sealing device. The inflatable sealing device (7A) has an inflatable upper sealing element (70A) and at least one inflatable lateral sealing element (71A; 71B) which make it possible, in the inflated state, to directly or indirectly ensure sealing between the upper wall (12) of the cell and at least a part of the top face (2e) of a set (2) of products (20) positioned in the cell and sealing between at least one lateral wall (10 or 11) of the cell and at least a part of one of the lateral faces (2c or 2d) of this set (2) of products (20). The inflatable upper sealing element (70A) and the inflatable lateral sealing element (71A) delimit a single inflatable chamber (70a/71a), and the inflation means make it possible to inflate the inflatable upper sealing element (70A) and the inflatable lateral sealing element (71A) by blowing air into this single inflatable chamber (70a/71a).
