  • the present invention relates to a new assemblable packaging device, in particular an improved fruit tray, which can be produced in a simple and economical manner, whose transport is easy, and the different parts of which can be economically and quickly assembled on or near the place of use.
  • packaging device within the meaning of the present invention is meant containers which are not or only slightly nestable in their final form, ready for use, open or opening on at least one side, and capable of receiving products for their packaging. and their transport, such as, for example, crates, boxes, toques, trays, etc.
  • the fruit tray according to the invention is assembled from several pieces and, better still, from a single blank economically produced in the factory, and giving birth after separation to several pieces, blank capable of being nested in its similars. for transport to the vicinity of the place of use, this blank being assembled by a simple and economical means at the place of use or in the vicinity thereof, so as to produce a fruit tray which meets the different requirements users have.
  • a packaging device of this type is described in French patent n ° 76 29281 which relates to a packaging device, in particular a fruit tray, of the type comprising three section elements in general U-shape each comprising a middle part and lateral wings, the first of said central elements having a length equal to the length of the plate and constituting the body thereof, the other two elements, preferably identical to each other, constituting the end parts of the plate, and having a length equal to the height of the plate, the device further comprising connecting means for pivotally connecting the middle part of the first element to the respective middle parts of the two end elements, and fixing means for securing each of the wings of the end elements to a wing of the central element.
  • each of the wings of the central element has ends each separated by a slit from the rest of the wing of the central element, the ends of the wings of the end elements being cut so as to s '' engaging in said slots during the pivoting movement of the end elements relative to the central element, means being further provided for locking the wings of the end elements on the wings of the central element towards the end of said pivoting movement.
  • the present application relates to a packaging device of this type, essentially characterized in that said slots are made in the form of openings in the wings of the central element, the wings of the end elements each having a tongue integral with the wing, in its plane, preferably produced by cutting said wing, said tongue being capable of engaging in the lumen formed in the corresponding wing of the central element, the wings of the central element having in the vicinity from each of the lights an inward recess defining an edge distant from said light of a length substantially corresponding to the width of said tongue, said means for locking the wings of the end elements on the wings of the central element comprising an inwardly turned rim, substantially at a right angle, on the base edge of each of the wings of the end members, said rims being susceptible them to engage behind recesses formed at the end of flats made on the lower parts of the external faces of the end parts of the wings of the central element.
  • the locking of the elements of the packaging device according to the invention is obtained by pivoting the end elements relative to the central element so that the tongues of the wings of the end elements engage in the openings of the wings of the central element, the edges of the wings of the end elements snapping behind the recesses provided on the central element substantially at the bottom of the plate.
  • each wing of the central element is preferably slightly offset inwards with respect to the rest of the wing forming a step in which said lumen is produced.
  • the bottom of the central element present in the vicinity of its ends of the transverse slots in which engage, at the end of their pivoting, the middle parts of the end elements, the central element having beyond said slots, stops immobilizing said middle parts in said slots.
  • stops can preferably be made by a folded part facing upwards from the end edge of the central element.
  • notches are formed in the bottom of the central element, these notches opening into the lower part of said slots, which gives the device elasticity allowing easy insertion of the tongue into the slot.
  • middle parts of the end elements can, in a first embodiment be separated by a cutout of the middle part of the central element, articulation members, such as staples or a strip of a sticky material for pivotally connecting the end elements to the central element.
  • articulation members such as staples or a strip of a sticky material for pivotally connecting the end elements to the central element.
  • the central element and the end elements may be in one piece, separated only by a fold line capable of serving as a pivot axis of the end elements vis-à-vis of the central element.
  • end elements may include deformations at the top of their middle part so as to allow the gripping of the plate. If desired, these deformations can be provided with a cutout.
  • the middle part of the central element may further comprise, projecting from its external face, ribs or bosses making it possible to maintain the plates on top of each other during their stacking.
  • the present invention also relates to a blank for the production of a packaging device, in particular a fruit tray, as described above, characterized in that it has a shape of gutter with a section in U substantially constant, and consists of the central element and the two end elements arranged to pivot relative to the central element.
  • This blank can be produced by grinding, in particular of agglomerated fibers.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling a packaging device, in particular a fruit tray, characterized in that one starts from a blank as described above, and that the 'the end elements are assembled to the central element after having tilted the end elements by approximately 90 °.
  • the fruit tray according to the invention is obtained by assembling a central element 1 and two end elements 2 from a U-shaped blank.
  • the central element 1 is thus formed of a middle part, or bottom, 4, and of wing 7, while the end elements 2 are formed of middle parts 5 and of wings 8.
  • the assembly can be carried out by means of clips which join the edges of the middle part 4 of the central element, and those of the middle parts 5 of the end elements 2.
  • the staples can be replaced by any suitable means such as an adhesive strip or an elastomeric tab allowing the end elements 2 to pivot relative to the central element 1, when the middle parts 5 of these elements end are separated by a cutting line from the middle part of the central element.
  • each of the wings 7 of the central element has end zones 9 slightly offset inwardly beyond a slot which, in the present invention, is in the form of a lumen 10, s' extending over part of the height of the wings of the central element without opening at its upper part.
  • the lumen 10 has in elevation a ramp-shaped edge 10A.
  • a notch 10B is formed in the bottom 4 of the central element and opens at the bottom of the lumen 10. This arrangement facilitates the insertion into the lumen 10 of the tab described below.
  • Each of the wings 8 of the end elements has an end part cut out in the form of a tongue 30 in the plane of the wing 8.
  • the wings 7 of the central element have, in the vicinity of each of the slots 10, an internal edge 23, distant from the slot 10 by a length corresponding substantially to the length of the tongue 30 when it engages in the slot 10 by pivoting of the end elements relative to the central element.
  • Such an embodiment prevents sharp edges of the tongue from damaging the products contained in the device, in particular the fruits.
  • This edge 23 preferably extends over a depth not exceeding the transverse distance between the end zone 9 of the wing of the central element and the remaining part 7 of the latter, that is to say the value of the offset in which each of the lights 10 is produced.
  • the flats 31 connecting by recesses 32 to the middle bottom part 4 of each central element.
  • the angle of the flats 3 1 with the recesses 32 is preferably slightly less than 90 °.
  • each of the wings 8 of the end elements has, at its base edge, a flange 33, turned inwards substantially at right angles, ending in a cutaway 33A.
  • the locking of the wings of the end elements relative to the wings of the central element is obtained by snap-fastening the flanges 33 behind the recesses 32 in the position shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 towards the end of the pivoting movement of the end elements relative to the central element, when the tongues 30 are engaged in the slots 10.
  • the invention is not limited to a fruit tray but relates to any packaging device which can be manufactured from separate parts or from a blank and assembled as indicated in the present application.
