La présente invention se rapporte à un emballage comportant deux faces polygonales superposées et reliées latéralement par leurs arêtes sauf sur au moins un des côtés, ainsi qu'à l'utilisation particu lière de cet emballage comme pochette de disque. The present invention relates to a package comprising two superimposed polygonal faces and joined laterally by their edges except on at least one of the sides, as well as to the particular use of this package as a record sleeve.

On connaît déjà des emballages du type précité qui servent de pochettes de disques. Un des inconvénients de ces pochettes consiste en ce que le disque n'est pas retenu entre les deux faces de la pochette et qu'il risque de sortir par l'ouverture latérale lorsque la pochette est manipulée. Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, le disque est généralement introduit d'abord dans une fourre qui est introduite entre les deux faces de la pochette, cette fourre intérieure risquant moins de glisser hors de la pochette que le disque seul. Enfin, I'ou- verture de la pochette peut être fermée provisoirement au moyen d'une bande de papier collée en travers de cette ouverture; toutefois, une fois cette bande déchirée pour permettre la sortie du disque, il n'est plus possible de l'utiliser comme moyen de fermeture de la pochette.Cette bande n'est en fait utilisée qu'à titre de contrôle pour le vendeur. Packages of the aforementioned type are already known which serve as record sleeves. One of the drawbacks of these covers is that the disc is not retained between the two faces of the cover and that it risks coming out through the lateral opening when the cover is handled. To remedy this drawback, the disc is generally first introduced into a bag which is introduced between the two faces of the cover, this inner cover being less likely to slip out of the cover than the disc alone. Finally, the opening of the pouch can be closed temporarily by means of a strip of paper glued across this opening; however, once this tape is torn to allow the release of the disc, it is no longer possible to use it as a means of closing the cover. This tape is in fact only used as a control for the seller.

Le but de cette invention consiste donc à fournir un emballage du type précité et pouvant servir de pochette de disque, qui remédie aux inconvénients précités. Le but est atteint par l'emballage selon l'invention, qui est caractérisé par le fait qu'un coin d'au moins une des faces, adjacent à un côté ouvert, est replié sur l'autre face, et par le fait que le coin replié est muni de moyens de fixation destinés à coopérer avec des moyens de fixation correspondants dont est munie la face sur laquelle le coin est replié. The object of this invention therefore consists in providing a packaging of the aforementioned type and which can serve as a record sleeve, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. The object is achieved by the packaging according to the invention, which is characterized by the fact that a corner of at least one of the faces, adjacent to an open side, is folded over the other face, and by the fact that the folded corner is provided with fixing means intended to cooperate with corresponding fixing means with which the face on which the corner is folded is provided.

Le dessin annexé illustre schématiquement et à titre d'exemples deux réalisations de l'emballage selon l'invention. The accompanying drawing illustrates schematically and by way of examples two embodiments of the packaging according to the invention.

Les fig. 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective, générale et d'un détail respectivement, d'une première forme d'exécution. Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views, general and of a detail respectively, of a first embodiment.

La fig. 3 est une vue en perspective d'un détail d'une seconde forme d'exécution. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detail of a second embodiment.

Sur les fig. I et 2, I'emballage représenté, consistant ici en une pochette de disque, comporte deux faces carrées 1, 2 superposées et reliées latéralement par leurs arêtes sur trois des quatre côtés, un des côtés de la pochette restant ouvert pour permettre l'introduction d'un disque. In fig. I and 2, the packaging shown, consisting here of a disc cover, has two square faces 1, 2 superimposed and connected laterally by their edges on three of the four sides, one side of the cover remaining open to allow insertion of a disc.

Un des coins 3 de la face inférieure 2, adjacent au côté ouvert, est replié sur la face supérieure 1, dont le coin correspondant a été coupé pour laisser une arête oblique 4. One of the corners 3 of the lower face 2, adjacent to the open side, is folded over the upper face 1, the corresponding corner of which has been cut to leave an oblique edge 4.

Ainsi, le côté ouvert de la pochette est partiellement fermé du fait du repliement du coin 3 sur la face 1, empêchant donc le disque disposé à l'intérieur de la pochette de sortir. Thus, the open side of the cover is partially closed due to the folding of the corner 3 on the face 1, thus preventing the disc disposed inside the cover from coming out.

De plus, la face interne du coin 3 est munie d'un bouton 5 destiné à coopérer en position repliée de fermeture avec un oeillet métallique 6 dont est rnunie la face supérieure 1 ou réciproquement. In addition, the inner face of the corner 3 is provided with a button 5 intended to cooperate in the folded closed position with a metal eyelet 6 from which the upper face 1 is joined or vice versa.

Enfin, la face externe du coin 3 peut présenter un élément d'identification 7, par exemple un sigle, un dessin, un nom, ou tout autre moyen. Finally, the outer face of the corner 3 may have an identification element 7, for example an acronym, a design, a name, or any other means.

Dans la variante illustrée sur la fig. 3, la face supérieure 1' est complète, c'est-à-dire que le coin 8 correspondant au coin 3 de la face inférieure est maintenu, et une ligne de pliage oblique 9 est prévue pour faciliter le pliage simultané des deux coins 3, 8 sur le face supérieure 1. In the variant illustrated in FIG. 3, the upper face 1 ′ is complete, that is to say that the corner 8 corresponding to the corner 3 of the lower face is maintained, and an oblique fold line 9 is provided to facilitate the simultaneous folding of the two corners 3 , 8 on the upper side 1.

Selon d'autres variantes non illustrées, le bouton-pression 5, 6 dont est muni l'emballage illustré sur les fig. 1 à 3 pour fixer le coin 3, 8 replié sur la face supérieure 1, 1', afin de fermer l'ouverture de l'emballage peut être remplacé par d'autres moyens de fixation tels que crochet, élément collant, bande Velcro, ruban, etc. De même, la face supérieure de l'emballage peut être munie d'une petite lame métallique ou en plastique, que l'on fait passer à travers un orifice pratiqué dans le ou les coins repliés, puis l'on replie cette lame sur la surface externe du coin de la face inférieure de l'emballage pour fixer ledit coin sur la face supérieure. According to other variants not shown, the press button 5, 6 with which the packaging illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 to fix the corner 3, 8 folded over the upper face 1, 1 ′, in order to close the opening of the packaging can be replaced by other fixing means such as hook, sticky element, Velcro tape, ribbon, etc. Similarly, the upper face of the packaging can be provided with a small metal or plastic blade, which is passed through an orifice made in the folded corner (s), and then this blade is folded over the outer surface of the corner of the lower face of the package for fixing said corner on the upper face.

Grâce au repliement du ou des coins de l'emballage, I'ouverture de celui-ci est fermée partiellement. Ainsi, lorsque cet emballage est utilisé comme pochette de disque, le disque ne risque plus de glisser hors de la pochette. De plus, la présence d'une fourre intérieure n'est plus nécessaire. Enfin, lorsque la face externe du coin replié est munie d'un élément d'identification, cela permet aux clients de retrouver immédiatement les disques ainsi identifiés. Thanks to the folding of the corner or corners of the package, the opening of the latter is partially closed. Thus, when this packaging is used as a disc cover, the disc no longer risks slipping out of the cover. In addition, the presence of an inner bag is no longer necessary. Finally, when the external face of the folded corner is provided with an identification element, this allows customers to immediately find the discs thus identified.

The present invention relates to a package comprising two superimposed polygonal faces and joined laterally by their edges except on at least one of the sides, as well as to the particular use of this package as a record sleeve.

Packages of the aforementioned type are already known which serve as record sleeves. One of the drawbacks of these covers is that the disc is not retained between the two faces of the cover and that it risks coming out through the lateral opening when the cover is handled. To remedy this drawback, the disc is generally first introduced into a bag which is introduced between the two faces of the cover, this inner cover being less likely to slip out of the cover than the disc alone. Finally, the opening of the pouch can be closed temporarily by means of a strip of paper glued across this opening; however, once this tape is torn to allow the release of the disc, it is no longer possible to use it as a means of closing the cover. This tape is in fact only used as a control for the seller.

The object of this invention therefore consists in providing a packaging of the aforementioned type and which can serve as a record sleeve, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. The object is achieved by the packaging according to the invention, which is characterized by the fact that a corner of at least one of the faces, adjacent to an open side, is folded over the other face, and by the fact that the folded corner is provided with fixing means intended to cooperate with corresponding fixing means with which the face on which the corner is folded is provided.

The accompanying drawing illustrates schematically and by way of examples two embodiments of the packaging according to the invention.

Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views, general and of a detail respectively, of a first embodiment.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detail of a second embodiment.

In fig. I and 2, the packaging shown, consisting here of a disc cover, has two square faces 1, 2 superimposed and connected laterally by their edges on three of the four sides, one side of the cover remaining open to allow insertion of a disc.

One of the corners 3 of the lower face 2, adjacent to the open side, is folded over the upper face 1, the corresponding corner of which has been cut to leave an oblique edge 4.

Thus, the open side of the cover is partially closed due to the folding of the corner 3 on the face 1, thus preventing the disc disposed inside the cover from coming out.

In addition, the inner face of the corner 3 is provided with a button 5 intended to cooperate in the folded closed position with a metal eyelet 6 from which the upper face 1 is joined or vice versa.

Finally, the outer face of the corner 3 may have an identification element 7, for example an acronym, a design, a name, or any other means.

In the variant illustrated in FIG. 3, the upper face 1 'is complete, that is to say that the corner 8 corresponding to the corner 3 of the lower face is maintained, and an oblique fold line 9 is provided to facilitate the simultaneous folding of the two corners 3 , 8 on the upper side 1.

According to other variants not shown, the press button 5, 6 with which the packaging illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 to fix the corner 3, 8 folded over the upper face 1, 1 ′, in order to close the opening of the packaging can be replaced by other fixing means such as hook, sticky element, Velcro tape, ribbon, etc. Similarly, the upper face of the packaging can be provided with a small metal or plastic blade, which is passed through an orifice made in the folded corner (s), and then this blade is folded over the outer surface of the corner of the lower face of the package for fixing said corner on the upper face.

Thanks to the folding of the corner or corners of the package, the opening of the latter is partially closed. Thus, when this packaging is used as a disc cover, the disc no longer risks slipping out of the cover. In addition, the presence of an inner bag is no longer necessary. Finally, when the external face of the folded corner is provided with an identification element, this allows customers to immediately find the discs thus identified.
