Description

L'invention concerne un emballage en une matièresemi-rigide telle que le carton ondulé, pour le conditionnement d'un lot d'objets à axe de révolution, par exemple de bouteilles ou de boîtes cylindriques.The invention relates to a packaging in a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard, for packaging a batch of objects with axis of revolution, for example bottles or cylindrical boxes.

L'invention vise plus particulièrement à faciliter la manutention d'emballages pour bouteilles ou similaires, du type comprenant un fond, par exemple de forme générale rectangulaire, des parois latérales perpendiculaires à ce fond, une partie supérieure parallèle au fond et, éventuellement, des parties inclinées réunissant cette partie supérieure aux parois latérales, l'une au moins des parois latérales étant solidaire de parties arrondies épousant sensiblement la forme des objets conditionnés et attenantes aux parois contiguës, une poignée étant découpée dans cette paroi dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire auxdits objets, comme décrit dans FR-A No 2196630.The invention more particularly aims to facilitate the handling of packaging for bottles or the like, of the type comprising a bottom, for example of generally rectangular shape, side walls perpendicular to this bottom, an upper part parallel to the bottom and, optionally, inclined parts joining this upper part to the side walls, at least one of the side walls being integral with rounded parts substantially matching the shape of the conditioned objects and adjoining the adjoining walls, a handle being cut in this wall in a direction substantially perpendicular to said objects , as described in FR-A No 2196630.

Il est en effet usuel de conditionner dans de tels emballages des lots de 6, 12 ou 24 bouteilles de bière, jus de fruits, boissons gazeuses ou autres boissons, des découpes étant généralement prévues dans l'emballage, pour laisser apparaître les bouteilles ou pour recevoir le col de celles-ci. De tels emballages sont aussi utilisés pour conditionner des boîtes métalliques cylindriques contenant des boissons, des produits alimentaires ou, plus généralement, tout produit susceptible d'être conditionné dans de telles boîtes.It is indeed customary to package in such packages lots of 6, 12 or 24 bottles of beer, fruit juice, soft drinks or other drinks, cutouts are generally provided in the packaging, to allow the bottles to appear or for receive the collar of these. Such packaging is also used to package cylindrical metal boxes containing drinks, food products or, more generally, any product capable of being packaged in such boxes.

Le principal problème posé par ces emballages réside dans leur manutention par l'acheteur car, lorsque les bouteilles ou les boîtes sont pleines, les conditionnements peuvent atteindre un poids élevé, peu compatible avec la faible rigidité du carton utilisé. Pour pouvoir supporter la charge et répartir celle-ci également sur le fond, tout en enserrant fermement les objets conditionnés, on prévoit donc généralement, dans la partie supérieure de l'emballage, un élément découpé formant poignée de préhension, ou deux découpes dans lesquelles l'utilisateur peut introduire deux doigts d'une main pour soulever le conditionnement.The main problem posed by these packages lies in their handling by the buyer because, when the bottles or boxes are full, the packaging can reach a high weight, not very compatible with the low rigidity of the cardboard used. To be able to support the load and distribute it evenly on the bottom, while firmly enclosing the conditioned objects, there is therefore generally provided, in the upper part of the packaging, a cut-out element forming a grip handle, or two cut-outs in which the user can insert two fingers with one hand to lift the packaging.

Lorsque les objets conditionnés sont nombreux et ont un poids important, de tels moyens de préhension se révèlent précaires, compte tenu de la faible résistance du matériau constitutif de l'emballage.When the packaged objects are numerous and have a large weight, such gripping means prove to be precarious, given the low resistance of the material constituting the packaging.

Le brevet US-A ? 3101886 a certes proposé un conditionnement dans lequel une poignée est renforcée par un ruban contrecollé contre cette poignée et contre les parois attenantes. Cette poignée ne se prolonge cependant pas par des parties épousant la forme d'objets arrondis et, si l'on se réfère aux dessins dudit brevet, la poignée ne semble pas perpendiculaire, mais parallèle à l'axe des objets conditionnés.The US-A patent? 3101886 has certainly proposed a packaging in which a handle is reinforced by a tape laminated against this handle and against the adjoining walls. This handle does not, however, extend into parts which conform to the shape of rounded objects and, if we refer to the drawings in said patent, the handle does not appear to be perpendicular, but parallel to the axis of the packaged objects.

L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus en proposant un emballage équipé d'un moyen de préhension tel que le poids de la charge se répartisse sur trois parois latérales contiguës, en tendant en outre à rapprocher les uns des autres les objets conditionnés.The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a packaging equipped with a gripping means such that the weight of the load is distributed over three adjoining side walls, while also tending to bring the objects closer to one another. conditioned.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un emballage en une matière semi-rigide telle que le carton, pour le conditionnement d'un lot d'objets à axe de révolution, cet emballage comportant un fond, des parois latérales perpendiculaires au fond, une partie supérieure parallèle au fond et éventuellement des parties inclinées réunissant cette partie supérieure aux parois latérales, l'une au moins des parois latérales étant solidaire de parties arrondies épousant sensiblement la forme des objets conditionnés et attenantes aux parois contiguës, une poignée étant découpée dans cette paroi, cet emballage étant caractérisé en ce que ladite poignée est découpée dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire aux axes desdits objets et que, sur ladite poignée, est contrecollée une bande de renfort dont les extrémités sont également collées sur les parties adjacentes de ladite paroi et une portion au moins de la partie arrondie réunissant cette paroi aux parois contiguës.To this end, the subject of the invention is a packaging made of a semi-rigid material such as cardboard, for packaging a batch of objects with axis of revolution, this packaging comprising a bottom, side walls perpendicular to the bottom , an upper part parallel to the bottom and possibly inclined parts joining this upper part to the side walls, at least one of the side walls being integral with rounded parts substantially matching the shape of the conditioned objects and adjoining the adjoining walls, a handle being cut out in this wall, this packaging being characterized in that said handle is cut in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axes of said objects and that, on said handle, a reinforcing strip is laminated whose ends are also glued to the adjacent parts of said wall and at least a portion of the rounded part joining this wall to the adjoining walls.

De préférence, les extrémités de la bande de renfort s'étendront au-delà des parties arrondies et seront également collées contre les parois contiguës.Preferably, the ends of the reinforcing strip will extend beyond the rounded parts and will also be glued against the adjoining walls.

La poignée et sa bande de renfort forment ainsi un organe de préhension, que peut saisir et maintenir l'acheteur, dont l'effort, égal au poids du conditionnement, ne s'exerce pas seulement sur la paroi équipée de ladite poignée, mais, par l'intermédiaire de la bande de renfort, sur les parties arrondies et, par conséquent, sur les deux parois adjacentes. Le poids de la charge est ainsi réparti sur trois parois contiguës, tandis que l'organe de préhension est lui-même doublé par la bande de renfort, de sorte que l'emballage plein peut être manipulé de façon beaucoup plus sûre que dans la technique antérieure.The handle and its reinforcing strip thus form a gripping member, which the buyer can grasp and maintain, whose effort, equal to the weight of the packaging, is not exerted only on the wall equipped with said handle, but, by means of the reinforcing strip, on the rounded parts and, consequently, on the two adjacent walls. The weight of the load is thus distributed over three adjoining walls, while the gripping member is itself doubled by the reinforcing strip, so that the full packaging can be handled much more safely than in the technique. anterior.

On notera, en outre, que, du fait que l'effort de préhension est transmis par les parties arrondies aux parois contiguës, cet effort tend à rapprocher l'une de l'autre ces parois et, par conséquent, à rapprocher également les objets conditionnés contre lesquels s'appuient ces parois. Le lot d'objets conditionnés forme ainsi avec l'emballage, en cours de manutention, un ensemble compact et rigide, facile à déplacer, qui né risque pas de se disloquer sous l'effort qu'il supporte.It will also be noted that, since the gripping force is transmitted by the rounded parts to the adjoining walls, this force tends to bring these walls closer to one another and, therefore, to also bring objects closer together. conditioned against which these walls lean. The batch of conditioned objects thus forms with the packaging, during handling, a compact and rigid assembly, easy to move, which does not risk breaking up under the effort it supports.

Il est clair que le perfectionnement conforme à l'invention est indépendant du type même de l'emballage. A la limite, il n'est même pas nécessaire que les parois contiguës à la paroi dans laquelle est ménagée la poignée soient parallèles entre elles. Les dessins annexés, qui illustrent deux formes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, n'ont donc, à l'évidence, aucun caractère limitatif.It is clear that the improvement in accordance with the invention is independent of the type of packaging itself. Ultimately, it is not even necessary that the walls contiguous to the wall in which the handle is formed are parallel to each other. The accompanying drawings, which illustrate two forms of implementation of the invention, therefore, obviously, have no limiting character.

Sur ces dessins:

  • la fig. 1 est une vue en perspective de l'emballage monté et contenant des bouteilles de bière;
  • la fig. 2 est une coupe transversale d'une paroi de cet emballage équipée d'une poignée de préhension;
  • la fig. 3 est une vue en plan du flan de carton prédécoupé et rainé dont est issu cet emballage;
  • la fig. 4 est une coupe, analogue à la fig. 2, d'une variante de cet emballage.
In these drawings:
  • fig. 1 is a perspective view of the mounted packaging and containing beer bottles;
  • fig. 2 is a cross section of a wall of this packaging equipped with a grip handle;
  • fig. 3 is a plan view of the pre-cut and creased cardboard blank from which this packaging originates;
  • fig. 4 is a section, similar to FIG. 2, of a variant of this packaging.

Celui-ci comprend un fond 1, de forme générale rectangulaire, mais arrondi dans les angles, deux parois longitudinales, dont l'une, 2, est attenante au fond, tandis que l'autre, 3, est collée contre un panneau 3", également attenant au fond 1. Les parois 2 et 3 sont réunies par des parties inclinées, respectivement 4 et 5, à une partie supérieure 6, parallèle au fond 1 et qui prend appui sur l'extrémité supérieure (capsule de bouchage) des bouteilles 7 conditionnées dans l'emballage, dont le col dépasse par des découpes 8 des parties inclinées 4 et 5.This comprises a bottom 1, of generally rectangular shape, but rounded at the corners, two longitudinal walls, one of which, 2, is attached to the bottom, while the other, 3, is glued against a panel 3 " , also adjacent to the bottom 1. The walls 2 and 3 are joined by inclined parts, respectively 4 and 5, to an upper part 6, parallel to the bottom 1 and which bears on the upper end (closure cap) of the bottles 7 packaged in the package, the neck of which protrudes 8 from the inclined parts 4 and 5.

Les parois transversales de l'emballage sont constituées d'un volet inférieur 9, attenant au fond 1, et d'un volet supérieur 10, collé contre la face interne du volet 9 et réuni par une partie inclinée 11 à la face supérieure 6 de l'emballage. Des amorces de découpe 17 sont prévues à la partie supérieure de l'emballage pour l'ouvrir facilement.The transverse walls of the packaging consist of a lower flap 9, adjoining the bottom 1, and an upper flap 10, glued against the internal face of the flap 9 and joined by an inclined part 11 to the upper face 6 of packaging. Cutting primers 17 are provided at the top of the package for easy opening.

Conformément à l'invention, les parois latérales 2 et 3 se prolongent à chacune de leurs extrémités par une partie arrondie, respectivement 2a et 3a, qui épouse la forme cylindrique des bouteilles 7 et qui vient se coller contre la face interne du volet 10 adjacent, pour être ainsi solidaire de la paroi transversale contiguë. Une fente 12, ménagée dans chacun des volets 9 parallèlement au fond 1, définit avec l'arête supérieure de ces volets une poignée 13, servant d'organe de préhension de l'emballage. Une bande de renfort 14 est collée sur cette poignée 13 et sur les parties arrondies 2a et 3a des parois 2 et 3 contiguës, les extrémités de la bande 14 étant elles-mêmes collées sur ces parois 2 et 3.According to the invention, the side walls 2 and 3 are extended at each of their ends by a rounded part, respectively 2a and 3a, which matches the cylindrical shape of the bottles 7 and which sticks against the internal face of the flap 10 adjacent , to be thus integral with the adjoining transverse wall. A slot 12, formed in each of the flaps 9 parallel to the bottom 1, defines with the upper edge of these flaps a handle 13, serving as a handle for gripping the packaging. A reinforcing strip 14 is glued to this handle 13 and to the rounded parts 2a and 3a of the adjoining walls 2 and 3, the ends of the strip 14 themselves being glued to these walls 2 and 3.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur saisit la poignée 13 pour déplacer l'emballage, l'effort de soutien qu'il exerce, qui est égal au poids de la charge, s'exerce non seulement sur la paroi 9 correspondante, mais sur les deux parois contiguës. En outre, l'effort de traction exercé sur la poignée 13 tend à rapprocher les parois 2 et 3 et, par conséquent, les bouteilles conditionnées, en imposant ainsi à l'ensemble de conditionnement une grande rigidité.Thus, when the user grasps the handle 13 to move the packaging, the support force which he exerts, which is equal to the weight of the load, is exerted not only on the corresponding wall 9, but on both adjoining walls. In addition, the tensile force exerted on the handle 13 tends to bring the walls 2 and 3 and, consequently, the conditioned bottles, thereby imposing great rigidity on the packaging assembly.

Comme il a déjà dit ci-dessus, l'invention s'applique à des emballages d'un type complètement différent de celui qui vient d'être décrit. Si l'on considère d'ailleurs uniquement celui-ci, il est clair que les parois latérales (longitudinales ou transversales) dans lesquelles sont ménagées les poignées peuvent avoir une structure complètement différente de celle des parois composites 9-10 de la demande. La poignée 13 pourrait aussi être découpée dans la masse de la paroi ou d'un volet constitutif de cette paroi, au lieu d'avoir un côté défini par une arête de cette paroi ou de ce volet.As already stated above, the invention applies to packaging of a completely different type from that which has just been described. If we consider only this one, it is clear that the side walls (longitudinal or transverse) in which the handles are provided may have a completely different structure from that of the composite walls 9-10 of the application. The handle 13 could also be cut from the bulk of the wall or of a component constituting this wall, instead of having a side defined by an edge of this wall or this component.

La position relative des volets 9 et 10 pourrait être inversée. C'est ce que représente la fig. 4, où les organes déjà décrits conservent les mêmes chiffres de référence affectés de l'indice ' et où le volet 10' est collé sur la face externe du volet 9'.The relative position of flaps 9 and 10 could be reversed. This is what fig. 4, where the bodies already described retain the same reference numbers assigned to the index 'and where the flap 10' is bonded to the external face of the flap 9 '.

Bien entendu, l'espace vide qui, dans le cas des dessins, sépare les parties inclinées 4 (ou 5) et 11 pourrait aussi bien être plein.Of course, the empty space which, in the case of the drawings, separates the inclined parts 4 (or 5) and 11 could as well be full.

Enfin, dans le cas d'un emballage similaire destiné aux conditionnements de boîtes cylindriques au lieu de bouteilles, on pourra naturellement se dispenser des parties inclinées telles que 4, 5 et 11.Finally, in the case of a similar packaging intended for the packaging of cylindrical boxes instead of bottles, we can naturally dispense with inclined parts such as 4, 5 and 11.
