Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a palletized container packaging; sand for the conservation and transport of agricultural or horticultural products.
  • the packaging comprises a bag, completely flexible, waterproof, provided with an upper filling opening; a window pierced on a side face of the bag closed by the selective permeability membrane which therefore forms an integral part of the bag. Any link closes the opening of the bag when filled.
  • Such packaging has a number of drawbacks; the packaging completely preexists its use. Storing products in the bag is difficult, long risky (possibility of tearing).
  • the bag is not suitable for juxtaposing, inside, basic packaging such as crates of fruit or vegetables. No adjustment of the window surface is possible depending on the volume of the packaging and the products contained in the bag.
  • the selective membrane can be secured to the bag only by gluing, which is a difficult and costly operation.
  • the existence of a window which must remain free on a lateral face of the bag hinders the juxtaposition of the packages in a container for example.
  • the packaging as such is not suitable for transport and, in particular, it does not have an integrated pallet.
  • the packaging comprises a completely rigid and impermeable box having an upper opening on which the selective membrane fixed to the bag is placed by gluing or by means of any link.
  • Such packaging also has many disadvantages; it also preexists, in its entirety, when it is used, the storage of products inside the box is delicate, there is a risk of leaks between the membrane and the box. The surface of the membrane cannot be adjusted.
  • the packaging is not designed to be palletized and transported in particular in containers.
  • French Patent No. 1,282,830 describes a container for perishable foodstuffs, the container being provided with a ventilation system arranged in a base tray. More particularly, the container has a bottom and side walls with ventilation channels allowing access of the air arriving from the bottom through or around the contents of the container when it is placed on the ground or stacked on other containers. . These openings or vents are in the form of slots made either in the lower plate or in the side panels or both in the side panels and the lower plate.
  • the disadvantages of such a device are inter alia that it does not have an integrated pallet and if it has openings which allow the circulation of air, they do not allow the control of air circulation.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a palletized, containerizable packaging, intended simultaneously for the conservation and transport of agricultural or horticultural products.
  • a packaging comprises a rigid bottom forming a pallet or integrated into a pallet forming part of the packaging, an at least partially flexible, homogeneous lateral part, distinct from the bottom, normally connected to the latter in a rigid and leaktight manner.
  • the membrane with selective permeability is placed in particular either on top of the packaging, or below in the bottom provided for this purpose.
  • Such packaging does not entirely exist prior to its use, but, on the contrary, is constituted at the very moment when one wishes to package, for the purpose of conservation and transport, agricultural or horticultural products, It follows that storage of the products in the packaging is conventional and convenient.
  • the packaging forms an assembly devoid of openings of the type found in known packaging.
  • the packaging optionally includes means for adjusting the area of the selective membrane. Due to its general conformation and the absence of a selective membrane on the side faces of the package, it can be conveniently juxtaposed and placed in containers. The pallet bottom also allows very convenient transport of the packaging.

  • Figure 15 is a schematic view, in elevation, of another embodiment of packaging according to the invention using a pallet bottom.
  • a palletized, containerizable packaging is proposed for simultaneously storing and transporting, under a controlled atmosphere, agricultural or horticultural products, in particular contained in elementary packaging 1 such as crates, not forming part of the invention .
  • the packaging according to the invention comprises, in a manner known per se, a first part 2, completely impermeable to gases and vapors and a second part 3, in the form for example of a membrane known per se with selective permeability for gases and vapors produced in particular in silicone elastomer and, more generally, in the form of a member controlling the flows of gases and vapors respectively from the inside to the outside of the packaging and from the outside to the inside.
  • the first part 2 and the second part 3 are connected to each other in a rigid manner, in particular removable, and impermeable to gases and vapors.
  • the packaging being containerizable is in the general form of a rectangular parallelepiped, of vertical axis 4, comprising a bottom element 5, normally horizontal, a lateral element 6, normally vertical and a top element 7, also normally horizontal .
  • the bottom element 5 is rigid. It is either associated with a notably conventional pallet, or integrated into a special pallet then forming an integral part of the packaging.
  • the lateral element 6 is at least partially flexible, homogeneous, distinct from the bottom element 5, normally connected to the latter in a rigid and sealed manner. This element 6 is a shrink or stretch film.
  • the first part 2 comprises the bottom elements 5, side 6 and from above 7.
  • the second part 3 is integrated in the first part 2 or in the bottom element 5 (FIGS. 2A , 2B, 15), or in the top element 7 ( Figure 1). Consequently, the fact that the lateral element 6 is, in this case, devoid of the second part 3, makes possible the juxtaposition of packages according to the invention with a view to their containerization. This result is also achieved because a pallet is an integral part of the bottom element 5 of the packaging.
  • the first part 2 consists of at least two distinct elements, namely on the one hand the bottom element 5 and, on the other hand, the lateral element 6, allows the packaging according to the invention is definitively constituted at the very moment of its use, which at the same time makes it easier to store the packaging before use and to use the packaging, that is to say filling it with the elementary packaging 1 and placing it under a controlled atmosphere.
  • the second part 3 is integrated into the top element 7 which is separate from the side element 6 and normally connected to the latter so rigid and gas and vapor tight.

  • the bottom element 5 comprises, secondly, a pallet 11, in particular conventional, on the upper face 12 of which rests the bottom 9 which is secured to the pallet, for example by the lateral element 6.
  • the top element 7 comprises, in this embodiment, a blank 13, flexible or rigid, pierced with a central hole 14; a lateral belt 15 of the same general type as the belt 10 already described, in one piece or not with the blank 13; and a border 16, rigid, non-deformable, rigidly fixed to the blank 13 around the hole 14, projecting towards the outside of the packaging, that is to say directed in the opposite direction to the elementary packaging 1, curved with turned concavity towards the outside of the packaging 1.
  • the edge 16 defines an annular groove in the bottom of which the edge of a membrane constituting the second part 3 can be placed rigidly, removably and tightly held on the top element 7, for example by means of an elastic member 17, such as an air-inflated hose placed in the concave housing of the edge 16.
  • the lateral element 6 is in the form of a flexible, deformable material, extensible or not, extending between the bottom element 5 and the top element 7, in particular the belts 10 and 15 and rigidly and tightly connected to these belts by any suitable means.
  • the various components of the packaging are preferably made of plastic material compatible with the presence of agricultural or horticultural products.
  • the reciprocal joining of the different elements of the packaging is carried out everywhere appropriate means.
