Abstract

Lateral conditioning for grouping and holding articles (8, 8a, 13, 13a) superposed according to their original direction. The side band (1) surrounding the periphery of a group of articles (8, 8a) has at least two series of parallel superposed slots (7, 7a) in which are engaged the angles or the sides (9, 9a) of the edges of the superposed articles (8, 8a) according to their original direction, said slots (7, 7a) being arranged alternatingly on the sides (3, 3a) of the band. The invention is used for lateral conditioning of articles.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un conditionnement latéral pour le groupage et le maintien d'objets superposés.The present invention relates to lateral packaging for grouping and maintaining superimposed objects.

Les conditionnements connus de ce genre présentent souvent une grande complexité en ce qui concerne leur montage et leur découpe qui est délicate. Par ailleurs le maintien des objets est très aléatoire et ne donne pas toujours satisfaction du fait que les objets glissent et peuvent tomber. Enfin, ils présentent aussi une surface d'impression trop réduite en raison du nombre important de découpes ou inversement, un enveloppement trop important masquant la partie supérieure des objets et par conséquent les dates limites de vente, ce qui nécessite souvent une étiquette collée.The known packaging of this kind often presents a great complexity with regard to their assembly and their cutting which is delicate. Furthermore, the maintenance of objects is very uncertain and does not always give satisfaction because the objects slide and can fall. Finally, they also have too small a printing surface due to the large number of cuts or vice versa, too large a wrap masking the upper part of the objects and therefore the sales deadlines, which often requires a glued label.

Le document US-A 4.141.448 concerne un moyen de conditionnement latéral constitué d'un bandeau disposé autour de deux objets disposés tête bêche l'un sur l'autre dont les bords sont engagés dans une série de fentes pour le maintien desdits objets.Document US-A 4,141,448 relates to a lateral conditioning means consisting of a strip arranged around two objects arranged head to tail, one on the other, the edges of which are engaged in a series of slots for holding said objects.

Par ailleurs le bandeau ne présente que six côtés et ne permet de ce fait que le conditionnement d'objets circulaires ou hexagonaux.Furthermore the strip only has six sides and therefore only allows the packaging of circular or hexagonal objects.

Une telle disposition ne permet donc pas d'assurer le maintien d'un groupe d'objets de manière à pouvoir lire facilement les informations imprimées sur ces objets.Such an arrangement therefore does not make it possible to maintain a group of objects so as to be able to easily read the information printed on these objects.

La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer ces inconvénients.The object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.

Conformément à la présente invention le bandeau latéral entourant la périphérie d'un groupe d'objets présente au moins deux séries de fentes parallèles superposées, chaque série de fentes recevant les angles ou les côtés du rebord supérieur de l'un des objets superposés suivant leur sens d'origine, lesdits objets étant maintenus en suspension par leurs angles ou côtés engagés dans les fentes lesdites fentes étant ménagées de façon alternée sur les côtés du bandeau, ledit bandeau latéral étant octogonal et présentant huit côtés délimités par des lignes de pliage.According to the present invention, the lateral strip surrounding the periphery of a group of objects has at least two series of parallel superposed slots, each series of slots receiving the angles or the sides of the upper edge of one of the superimposed objects according to their sense of origin, said objects being held in suspension by their angles or sides engaged in the slots, said slots being formed alternately on the sides of the strip, said lateral strip being octagonal and having eight sides delimited by fold lines.

Cette disposition suivant l'invention permet le maintien efficace de l'ensemble des objets sans risque de chute de l'un des objets du groupement.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.

En raison de sa présentation de forme octogonale et de la possibilité d'avoir accès aux parties supérieure et inférieure des objets, ce conditionnement offre une surface maximale d'impression visible.Due to its octagonal shape and the possibility of having access to the upper and lower parts of the objects, this packaging offers a maximum visible printing surface.

Par ailleurs, la rigidité de l'ensemble est exceptionnelle du fait que le poids des objets se répartit sur la tranche du système de découpe.In addition, the rigidity of the assembly is exceptional because the weight of the objects is distributed over the edge of the cutting system.

La forme octogonale du bandeau permet de présenter de façon superposée des groupes d'objets et de produits de toutes formes, carrée, rectangulaire, ovale, ou ronde, sans augmenter le volume de base, du fait que cet emballage latéral épouse la forme du produit à présenter.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 matches the shape of the product. to present.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description qui va suivre de plusieurs modes de réalisation et en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un mode de réalisation d'un bandeau de conditionnement suivant l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'un autre mode de réalisation d'un bandeau présentant des ouvertures ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du conditionnement latéral suivant l'invention de deux barquettes en aluminium ; et
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective du conditionnement latéral suivant l'invention d'un ensemble de pots de yogourt.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the following description of several embodiments and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of a packaging strip according to the invention;
  • Figure 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 la figure 1, on a représenté un bandeau 1 sous forme de découpe à plat qui est constitué d'une feuille notamment de carton présentant des lignes de pliage 2 afin de délimiter des côtés ou faces 3, 3a, notamment au nombre de huit pour obtenir, lorsque le bandeau 1 est assemblé par ses extrémités, une forme octogonale.In Figure 1, there is shown 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.

Le moyen d'assemblage est constitué d'une patte découpée 4 prévue à l'une des extrémités du bandeau et qui est susceptible d'être engagée dans une fente 5 prévue à l'autre extrémité et délimitée par une patte repliable découpée 6.The assembly means consists of a cut tab 4 provided at one end of the strip and which can be engaged in a slot 5 provided at the other end and delimited by a folded cut tab 6.

Sur les panneaux 3 du bandeau 1, sont prévues deux séries de fentes 7, 7a qui sont parallèles entre elles et perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliage 2. La distance A séparant deux fentes 7, 7a est égale à la hauteur d'un objet tel qu'une barquette 8, 8a (figure 3).On the panels 3 of the strip 1, two series of slots 7, 7a are provided which are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the fold 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).

Les fentes 7, 7a sont prévues de façon alternée d'un côté à l'autre, de telle sorte que seuls les côtés 3 comportent des fentes alors que les côtés intermédiaires 3a n'en comportent pas.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.

A la figure 3, on a représenté un bandeau 1 utilisé lors de l'assemblage de deux barquettes 8, 8a empilées l'une sur l'autre suivant leur sens d'origine.In 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.

Ainsi .qu'il est visible à la figure 3, les bords 9 et 9a des barquettes 8, 8a sont engagés dans les fentes 7, 7a du bandeau 1 lorsque celui-ci est assemblé par ses extrémités et il en résulte que les barquettes 8, 8a sont ainsi maintenues ensemble sans risque de chute de l'une d'elles.Thus. That it is visible in Figure 3, the edges 9 and 9a of the trays 8, 8a are engaged in the slots 7, 7a of the strip 1 when the latter is assembled by its ends and it follows that the trays 8 , 8a are thus held together without risk of one of them falling.

Par ailleurs, la face supérieure 10 de la barquette 8 et la face inférieure 10a de la barquette 8a sont apparentes, ce qui permet l'impression de renseignements sur ces faces et notamment l'impression d'une date limite d'utilisation du produit.Furthermore, 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.

A la figure 2, on a représenté un autre mode de réalisation de bandeau 1 dans lequel il est prévu des ouvertures 11, 12 qui s'étendent sur deux côtés 3 et sur un côté 3a. Ces ouvertures sont destinées à rendre apparentes les faces latérales des objets comme représenté à la figure 4 où huits pots 1.3, 13a de yogourt sont assemblés en deux groupes de quatre pots 13, 13a superposés suivant leur sens d'origine. L'un des rebords d'angle 14 et 14a de chacun des pots 13, 13a est engagé dans une fente 7, 7a du bandeau 1 de telle sorte que les pots sont ainsi maintenus assemblés.In Figure 2, there is shown another embodiment of 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 Figure 4 where eight pots 1.3, 13a of yogurt are assembled in two groups of four jars 13, 13a superimposed according to their sense 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.

Les faces supérieures 15 et 15a des pots 13,13a étant apparentes extérieurement, il est possible d'y imprimer des renseignements qui peuvent être lus par l'utilisateur sans enlever le bandeau.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.

Bien que l'on ait représenté un bandeau comportant deux séries de fentes pour l'assemblage de deux ensembles d'objets, il est bien évident que l'on peut réaliser des bandeaux comportant un nombre beaucoup plus grand de séries de fentes pour l'assemblage d'un plus grand nombre d'objets.Although a strip having two series of slots has been shown for assembling two sets of objects, it is obvious that it is possible to produce strips comprising a much greater number of series of slots for the assembly of a larger number of objects.

A la figure ia, on a représenté un autre mode d'assemblage des extrémités du bandeau 1 dans lequel l'une des extrémités présente une découpe comportant deux volets 16, 16a articulés autour de lignes de pliage 17, 17a. L'autre extrémité du bandeau présente une autre découpe comportant deux volets 18, 18a articulés autour de deux lignes de pliage 19, 19a, lesdits volets 18, 18a présentant une largeur L supérieure à la largeur I de la ligne de pliage 19, 19a et des volets 16, 16a.In Figure ia, 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 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 I of the fold line 19, 19a and flaps 16, 16a.

Cette disposition permet l'encliquetage des volets 18, 18a de plus grande largeur L dans l'espace laissé libre par les volets 16, 16a de plus faible largeur I.This arrangement allows the shutters 18, 18a of greater width L to be snapped into the space left free by the flaps 16, 16a of smaller width I.

Bien entendu, diverses modifications peuvent être apportées par l'homme de l'art aux dispositifs ou procédés qui viennent d'être décrits uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention revendiquée.Of course, various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to the devices or methods which have just been described only by way of nonlimiting examples, without departing from the scope of the claimed invention.
