Definitions
- the present invention relates to lateral packaging for grouping and maintaining superimposed objects.
- Lateral conditioning means consist of a strip arranged around an object and which has a series of slots in which the edges of the object are engaged for its retention.
- the present invention aims to eliminate these disadvantages.
- the lateral strip surrounding the periphery of a group of objects has at least two series of parallel superimposed slots in which the angles or the sides of the edges of the superimposed objects are engaged according to their direction of origin, said slots being formed alternately on the sides of the strip.
- the side strip is octagonal and has eight sides delimited by fold lines, one side out of two having at least two horizontal slots.
- This arrangement according to the invention allows effective maintenance of all of the objects without the risk of one of the objects in the group falling.
- this packaging offers a maximum visible printing surface.
- the rigidity of the assembly is exceptional because the weight of the objects is distributed over the edge of the cutting system.
- the octagonal shape of the strip makes it possible to present, in a superimposed fashion, groups of objects and products of all shapes, square, rectangular, oval, or round, without increasing the basic volume, because this lateral packaging follows the shape of the product to present.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of a packaging strip according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of another embodiment of a strip having openings
- - Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lateral packaging according to the invention of two aluminum trays; and - Figure 4 is a perspective view of the lateral packaging according to the invention of a set of yogurt pots.
- a strip 1 in the form of a flat cut which consists of a sheet in particular of cardboard having fold lines 2 in order to delimit sides or faces 3, 3a_, in particular eight in number for obtain, when the strip 1 is assembled by its ends, an octagonal shape.
- the assembly means consists of a cut tab 4 provided at one end of the strip and which is capable of being engaged in a slot 5 provided at the other end and delimited by a folded cut tab 6.
- two series of slots 7, 7a_ are provided, which are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the folding lines 2.
- the distance A separating two slots 7, 7a_, is equal to the height of an object such as a tray 8, 8a_ ( Figure 3).
- the slots 7, 7a_ are provided alternately from one side to the other, so that only the sides 3 have slots while the intermediate sides 3a_ do not.
- Figure 3 there is shown a strip 1 used during the assembly of two trays 8, 8a stacked one on the other in their original direction.
- the upper face 10 of the tray 8 and the lower face 10a of the tray 8a_ are visible, which allows the printing of information on these faces and in particular the printing of a deadline for use of the product.
- FIG. 2 there is shown another embodiment of the strip 1 in which there are provided openings 11, 12 which extend on two sides 3 and on one side 3a_. These openings are intended to make visible the lateral faces of the objects as shown in FIG. 4 where eight jars 13, 13a_ of yogurt are assembled in two groups of four jars 13, 13a_ superimposed according to their direction of origin.
- One of the corner flanges 14 and 14a_ of each of the pots 13, 13a is engaged in a slot 7, 7a of the strip 1 so that the pots are thus kept assembled.
- the upper faces 15 and 15a of the pots 13, 13a_ being visible externally, it is possible to print therein information which can be read by the user without removing the banner.
- FIG. la_ there is shown another method of assembling the ends of the strip 1 in which one of the ends has a cutout comprising two flaps 16, 16a articulated around of fold lines 17, 17a_, The other end of the strip has another cutout comprising two flaps 18, 18a_ articulated around two fold lines 19, 19a_, said flaps 18, 18a_ having a width L greater than the width 1_ of the fold line 19, 19a_ and flaps 16, 16a_.
Abstract
Conditionnement lateral pour le groupage et le maintien d'objets (8, 8a, 13, 13a) superposes suivant leur sens d'origine Le bandeau lateral (1) entourant la peripherie d'un groupe d'objets (8, 8a) presente au moins deux series de fentes (7, 7a) paralleles superposees dans lesquelles sont engages les angles ou es cotes (9, 9a) des rebords des objets (8, 8a) superposes suivant leur sens d'origine, lesdites fentes (7, 7a) etant menagees de facon alternee sur les cotes (3, 3a) du bandeau. L'invention est utilisee pour le conditionnement lateral d'objets.Lateral packaging for grouping and holding objects (8, 8a, 13, 13a) superimposed in their original direction. The lateral strip (1) surrounding the periphery of a group of objects (8, 8a) presented at the at least two series of superimposed parallel slots (7, 7a) in which the angles or sides (9, 9a) of the edges of the objects (8, 8a) superimposed in their original direction are engaged, said slots (7, 7a) being arranged alternately on the sides (3, 3a) of the strip.
