Definitions

  • This closure is generally obtained by folding down by folding elements such as walls or shutters and then by gluing these elements using an adhesive tape of any known type.
  • a package intended to wrap one or more objects as close as possible to their outline was already canned, by transverse folding on itself. Of a strip along parallel lines.
  • the strip has lateral flaps which are placed transversely to it and which cannot and should not be folded when the strip is folded. They therefore determine a non-foldable part of the strip which constitutes a base of invariable length.
  • the patent US-A-3455499 also describes a packaging intended to wrap one or more objects as close as possible to their outline by transverse folding over itself of a strip along parallel lines.
  • the present invention deviates entirely from these known solutions by eliminating the need for an independent link while guaranteeing perfect closure, whatever the relative position of the parts of the strip which must overlap, and this, thanks to the particular structure of the packaging which carries its own closure means.
  • the invention simplifies and rationalizes the operation of closing packaging of this type. It can also be used as a conditioning phase in automatic mechanized installations.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging of the type intended to wrap one or more objects as close as possible to its contour, by transversely folding on itself a strip along parallel lines which determine on the one hand a face forming base of invariable length predetermined by lateral flaps and on the other hand faces of variable lengths according to the dimensions of the object (s), two of the faces having to be partially superimposed one against the other according to the dimensions of the object (s) , characterized in that one of the faces forming the ends of the strip comprises two symmetrical lateral tabs of a length such that they can be folded and applied to the outside of the face opposite to that which is formed by superposition of two faces and in that an adhesive is provided on the ends of the legs and on the face, preferably in the form of a continuous strip extending between the ends of the legs.
  • FIG. 1 we see a known type of packaging which is composed of a strip (1) of corrugated cardboard having a face 1c on which are folded two flaps 2 and 3 and reinforcements respectively 4-5 and 6-7 located on either side of shutters 2 and 3.
  • the flaps 2 and 3 are kept applied against the face 1c forming a base up to the line 8 and 9 respectively, in particular by gluing or stapling.
  • the lines 8 and 9 are located at a distance x as is particularly visible in FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • two legs 12 and 13 are obtained at the same time as the reinforcements 6 and 7 and are folded back with them while being separated from them by two slots respectively 14 and 15 interrupted to constitute bridges 16 and 17 thanks to which the tabs 12 and 13 remain suitably applied inside the contour of the strip 1, like the reinforcements 6: and 7, which allows safe handling.
  • the wedges are formed by folding the tabs 18 and 19 and straightening the end of the legs 12 and 13 by breaking the bridges 16 and 17 which are of sufficiently small dimensions to break without effort.
  • the end 1a as well as the tabs 12 and 13 have been previously provided with an adhesive strip 26 which preferably extends continuously from the end of the tab 12 to the end of the tab 13 or on legs 12 and 13 only.
  • the tabs 12 and 13 are folded laterally, outside the contour of the strip 1, so that they pass in front of the recessed faces 2 and 3 of the packaging and stick to the large face of the package forming base 1c which is opposite to that formed by superposition of the ends 1 a and 1 b.
  • FIG. 3 represents the embodiment according to which tongues 18 and 19 are provided to constitute shims.
  • the dimensions and the arrangements of the various elements constituting the packaging are established so that the tabs 12 and 13 on the one hand, and the tabs 18 and 19 on the other hand, are symmetrical with respect to a line imaginary transverse median y of the strip 1, so that after constitution of the packaging, the legs 12 and 13 folded over the recessed lateral faces are, at least partially, opposite that of your sides 18 and 19.
  • the legs 12 and 13 tend to press the shims against the straightened part of the flaps and, consequently, against the packaged objects A which are thus found to be suitably immobilized laterally.
  • a package of this type may also not contain shims, that is to say be deprived of the tongues 18 and 19.
  • a packaging of this type is therefore simpler and lighter, in particular because it only has a simple thickness of cardboard to constitute the strip 1 instead of having a thickness doubled by the presence of the reinforcements 4, 5, 6 and 7.
  • Such packaging is correspondingly more fragile but more economical.
  • lateral shims When adopting the variant according to which lateral shims are used, it can be provided that these have a substantially triangular or trapezoidal section as shown in FIG. 3 or, preferably, a rectangular section thanks to which the shim has a outer edge no longer inclined as shown in Figure 3 but vertical, so that the legs 12 and 13 can be applied over the entire length of the outer face of the wedge.
  • An effect comparable to that obtained with the pinching shown in FIG. 4 is thus obtained since, by energetically applying the tabs 12 and 13, there is a tendency to laterally block the objects to be packaged A.
  • the tongues 18 and 19 do not exist but, on the other hand, there are four notches 30, 31, 32 and 33 provided on the longitudinal edges 10 and 11 at a depth z.
  • a packaging of this type produced according to patent FR-A-2 415 048, can only be closed by means of an attached link, whether it is an adhesive tape, 'an elastic ring or knotted string.
  • such a link is placed in the longitudinal direction relative to the axis of the strip 1, that is to say transversely to the ends 1 a and 1 b when the packaging is finished.
  • the notches 30 to 33 are provided in such a way that the tabs 12 and 13 are also placed in the notches passing in front of the recessed side faces, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the slots 14 and 15 parallel to the end of the reinforcements 6 and 7 are extended in the strip 1 proper by a distance Z equal to depth z notches so that the legs 12 and 13 can be folded back against the bottom of said notches 30 to 33.
  • the invention applies to simple envelopes devoid of lateral faces and not only to the examples used here.
  • a package according to the invention has a height adjustable according to the thickness of the object to be packaged. If it is very flat (a single sheet, for example, which you want to protect against accidental folding), it does not really have side faces. If, on the contrary, the object is thick: one or more books, several magazines, a box of records, etc., flaps 2 and 3 are folded to have the desired height. They then constitute true lateral faces, adjacent to the two large faces (upper and lower).
  • the location of the collage therefore varies from one package to another depending on what they contain.
  • the two parallel planes formed by these two large opposite faces are made integral by crossing the lateral faces, whatever their height, while ensuring bonding in all cases, by means of the strip of adhesive. 26 protected, before use, by a removable tape.
