Description

La présente invention est relative à des bacs en alliage d'aluminium destinés principalement à la manutention d'objets fragiles et notamment d'ampoules pharmaceutiques.The present invention relates to aluminum alloy containers intended mainly for handling fragile objects and in particular pharmaceutical ampoules.

Dans les techniques de manutention en bacs d'objets fragiles, il est connu d'employer des moyens pour empêcher le déplacement des objets entre eux ou par rapport aux parois du bac qui les contient, et éviter ainsi de les casser.In techniques for handling fragile objects in containers, it is known to employ means to prevent the movement of objects between them or with respect to the walls of the container that contains them, and thus avoid breaking them.

C'est ainsi qu'on recourt, le plus souvent, à des corps de remplissage en matériaux souples qui sont coincés entre les objets et la paroi.This is how, most often, use is made of filling bodies made of flexible materials which are wedged between the objects and the wall.

Dans l'industrie pharmaceutique, il est connu d'utiliser pour le conditionnement de certains liquides des ampoules en verre de forme cylindrique et dites mécaniques parce que ces cylindres sont prolongés à leurs extrémités par des parties effilées et scellées en bout que l'on casse pour en récupérer le contenu.In the pharmaceutical industry, it is known to use for the packaging of certain liquids glass ampoules of cylindrical shape and called mechanical because these cylinders are extended at their ends by tapered and sealed ends which are broken. to retrieve the content.

Ces ampoules doivent être généralement transportées du lieu de fabrication au lieu d'utilisation où elles sont remplies, passées à l'étuve, scellées et emballées, prêtes à la vente. Pour assurer cette manutention, on prend le plus souvent des bacs de forme prismatique ou cylindrique réalisés en matériaux plastiques ou métalliques dans lesquels les ampoules sont placées verticalement côte à côte.These bulbs must generally be transported from the place of manufacture to the place of use where they are filled, passed through the oven, sealed and packaged, ready for sale. To ensure this handling, it is most often taken in tubs of prismatic or cylindrical shape made of plastic or metallic materials in which the bulbs are placed vertically side by side.

La section horizontale de ces bacs est plus ou moins bien adaptée aux diamètres des ampoules, de manière que ces dernières ne présentent pas entre elles d'espaces vides trop grands et éviter ainsi soit qu'elles s'entrechoquent et se cassent pendant le transport, soit qu'elles se prêtent mal au remplissage en ayant une inclinaison trop grande de leur axe par rapport à la verticale.The horizontal section of these containers is more or less well adapted to the diameters of the bulbs, so that the latter do not have too large empty spaces between them and thus avoid either colliding and breaking during transport, or that they do not lend themselves well to filling by having too great an inclination of their axis relative to the vertical.

C'est ainsi par exemple que dans le document FR-A-25 05 300, il est décrit un cristallisoir pour ampoules mécaniques de forme parallélépipédique avec deux cotés opposés prolongés vers le haut par des panneaux repliés vers l'intérieur et soudés selon leurs arêtes latérales afin de réaliser des doubles parois supérieures opposées renforçant la rigidité du cristallisoir.Thus, for example, in document FR-A-25 05 300, there is described a crystallizer for mechanical bulbs of parallelepiped shape with two opposite sides extended upwards by panels folded inwards and welded according to their edges lateral in order to produce opposite upper double walls reinforcing the rigidity of the crystallizer.

Mais, les dimensions de ces bacs tiennent compte d'un diamètre moyen des ampoules. Or, il est admis pour le fabricant une certaine tolérance dans les dimensionnements de ses produits liés aux contingences des appareils de fabrication.However, the dimensions of these containers take into account the average diameter of the bulbs. However, it is accepted for the manufacturer a certain tolerance in the sizing of its products linked to the contingencies of the manufacturing apparatus.

Il en resulte que, pour certains lots d'ampoules, il peut subsister un écart de plusieurs millimètres avec la paroi interne du bac, de sorte que les inconvénients cités plus haut peuvent subsister.It follows that, for certain batches of bulbs, there may remain a difference of several millimeters with the internal wall of the tank, so that the drawbacks mentioned above may remain.

Consciente de ces difficultés, la demanderesse a cherché et trouvé le moyen de stocker ces ampoules de manière qu'on puisse les manipuler sans les casser et les remplir aisément.Aware of these difficulties, the applicant sought and found a way to store these bulbs so that they can be handled without breaking them and filling them easily.

Ce moyen consiste en un bac en alliage d'aluminium ayant la forme d'un prisme droit ou d'un cylindre caractérisé en ce qu'il est réalisé en alliage demi-dur et que au moins une paroi latérale du prisme ou la circonférence du cylindre présente au moins un volet élastique ouvert vers le bas et formé par découpage et pliage vers l'intérieur d'une partie de ladite paroi ou circonférence.This means consists of an aluminum alloy tank having the shape of a straight prism or of a cylinder, characterized in that it is made of semi-hard alloy and that at least one side wall of the prism or the circumference of the cylinder has at least one elastic flap open at the bottom and formed by cutting and folding inwards a part of said wall or circumference.

Ainsi, le bac selon la présente invention est réalisé en alliage d'aluminium. C'est de manière générale un alliage se prêtant facilement à la mise sous forme de feuilles d'épaisseur comprise entre 100 et 200 Ilm, dimension qui convient très bien à la confection de tels bacs. Ce peut-être, par exemple, un alliage du type 8011 qui contient 0,5 à 0,9 % de silicium, 0,6 à 1,0 % de fer, 0,1 % de cuivre, 0,1 % de manganèse et également du magnésium et du chrome et les éléments d'impuretés habituels. Toutefois, ces feuilles doivent subir, au cours de leur fabrication, des traitements thermiques de façon à se trouver sous l'état H14 ou demi-dur, qui contribue à leur conférer une limite élastique relativement élevée. Avec ces feuilles, on confectionne par les techniques classiques des bacs ayant une forme générale de prisme droit telle que cube, parallélépipède ou de cylindre qui présentent sur leur paroi latérale au moins un volet, c'est-à-dire une lamelle inclinée de manière à se trouver entièrement située à l'intérieur du bac et qui, initialement, faisait partie intégrante de la paroi.Thus, the container according to the present invention is made of aluminum alloy. This is generally an alloy suitable to easily formed into thick sheets of between 100 and 200 I lm, which dimension is very suitable for making such containers. It may be, for example, an alloy of the type 8011 which contains 0.5 to 0.9% of silicon, 0.6 to 1.0% of iron, 0.1% of copper, 0.1% of manganese and also magnesium and chromium and the usual impurity elements. However, these sheets must undergo, during their manufacture, heat treatments so as to be in the H14 or semi-hard state, which contributes to giving them a relatively high elastic limit. With these sheets, trays are made using conventional techniques having a general shape of a straight prism such as a cube, parallelepiped or cylinder which have on their side wall at least one flap, that is to say a lamella inclined so to be located entirely inside the tank and which, initially, was an integral part of the wall.

Ces volets sont obtenus par découpage de la paroi suivant une portion du périmètre du volet, puis pliage le long de la paroi et ne nécessitent pour leur réalisation aucun moyen d'assemblage tel que collage, soudage, rivetage ou autre. Ce volet est ouvert vers le bas, c'est-à-dire que sa partie la plus éloignée de la paroi latérale est située vers le bas du bac, ceci de façon à faciliter l'introduction des ampoules dans le bac.These shutters are obtained by cutting the wall along a portion of the perimeter of the shutter, then folding along the wall and do not require for their realization any means of assembly such as gluing, welding, riveting or other. This flap is open at the bottom, that is to say that its part furthest from the side wall is located towards the bottom of the container, this so as to facilitate the introduction of the bulbs into the container.

En raison de l'état métallurgique du volet et des propriétés élastiques qui en découlent, ce dernier remplit une fonction analogue à celle jouée par une lame de ressort. Il peut donc se rapprocher plus ou moins de la paroi latérale lorsque, par exemple, on exerce une pression sur lui avec la mise en place des dernières ampoules dans le bac puis, mû par des forces de rappel, il tend à reprendre sa position initiale en poussant les ampoules les unes contre les autres.Due to the metallurgical condition of the shutter and the elastic properties which result therefrom, the latter fulfills a function similar to that played by a leaf spring. It can therefore come closer or closer to the side wall when, for example, pressure is exerted on it with the placement of the last bulbs in the tank then, moved by restoring forces, it tends to return to its initial position by pushing the bulbs against each other.

Pour avoir une répartition convenable de cette poussée sur l'ensemble des ampoules et éviter que certaines d'entre elles ne gardent un degré de liberté suffisant pour qu'elles puissent s'entrechoquer, il est nécessaire que le volet soit en contact avec le plus grand nombre possible d'ampoules. Celà s'obtient en donnant au volet une forme allongée dans une direction parallèle à la paroi du bac, direction qui épouse sensiblement le contour de l'ensemble des ampoules.To have an adequate distribution of this thrust on all the bulbs and to prevent some of them from retaining a sufficient degree of freedom so that they can collide, it is necessary that the shutter is in contact with the most large number of bulbs possible. This is obtained by giving the shutter an elongated shape in a direction parallel to the wall of the tank, a direction which substantially matches the outline of all the bulbs.

Cette longueur peut être réalisée, de préférence, en multipliant le nombre de volets. Toutefois, pour éviter un affaiblissement trop grand de la résistance mécanique de la paroi du bac, il est souhaitable que cette longueur soit au plus égale au demi-périmètre de la section droite du bac. Dans ces conditions, la meilleure solution consiste à répartir symétriquement les volets sur la périphérie du bac.This length can be achieved, preferably, by multiplying the number of flaps. However, to avoid too great a weakening of the mechanical resistance of the wall of the tank, it is desirable that this length is at most equal to the half-perimeter of the cross section of the tank. Under these conditions, the best solution consists in symmetrically distributing the flaps on the periphery of the tank.

Ainsi, dans le cas particulier d'un bac de forme parallélépipédique, on le munit de deux volets placés chacun sur une des petites parois latérales.Thus, in the particular case of a rectangular-shaped container, it is provided with two flaps each placed on one of the small side walls.

S'il s'agit d'un bac cylindrique, on découpe au moins trois volets disposés suivant des arcs de cercle répartis d'une manière équidistante sur la circonférence du bac, c'est-à-dire qu'on peut avoir par exemple trois volets occupant chacun un arc de 60 degrés, séparés les une des autres par des arcs de paroi non découpée de même angle.If it is a cylindrical container, at least three flaps are cut arranged in arcs of a circle distributed equidistantly around the circumference of the container, that is to say that one can have for example three shutters each occupying an arc of 60 degrees, separated from each other by arcs of uncut wall of the same angle.

En ce qui concerne l'ouverture du volet, c'est-à-dire l'angle formé par son plan avec la paroi latérale du bac, on peut accentuer plus ou moins le pliage du volet après découpage de manière à avoir une valeur d'angle comprise entre 30 et 60 degrés. Ces limites correspondent à une fourchette optimum en dehors de laquelle, soit l'angle est trop petit et limite l'amplitude du ressort, soit il est trop grand et conduit à une réduction trop importante de la capacité du bac.With regard to the opening of the flap, that is to say the angle formed by its plane with the side wall of the container, it is possible to accentuate more or less the folding of the flap after cutting so as to have a value d 'angle between 30 and 60 degrees. These limits correspond to an optimum range outside of which either the angle is too small and limits the amplitude of the spring, or it is too large and leads to too great a reduction in the capacity of the tank.

Le volet a une largeur réduite comprise entre des extrêmes qui sont 1/3 et 1/10 de la hauteur du bac de manière à ne pas affaiblir la tenue de la paroi, ce qui se produirait avec une largeur trop grande, mais tout en gardant une largeur suffisante pour donner au ressort une amplitude convenable. Une relation peut être établie entre la largeur du volet et son ouverture: un volet très large s'accomodant mieux d'une ouverture petite.The flap has a reduced width between extremes which are 1/3 and 1/10 of the height of the tank so as not to weaken the holding of the wall, which would occur with too large a width, but while keeping sufficient width to give the spring a suitable amplitude. A relationship can be established between the width of the shutter and its opening: a very wide shutter accommodates better with a small opening.

Pour permettre un bon maintien des ampoules en position verticale, on place le volet le plus haut possible sur la paroi latérale et, en tout cas, à un niveau supérieur à la mi-hauteur du bac. Lorsqu'il y a plusieurs volets, ceux-ci sont de préférence placés au même niveau.To allow the bulbs to remain in a vertical position, the shutter is placed as high as possible on the side wall and, in any case, at a level higher than halfway up the tank. When there are several shutters, these are preferably placed on the same level.

Dans le but de réaliser un meilleur maintien des ampoules, on peut aussi replier l'extrémité du volet la plus éloignée de la paroi latérale du bac vers le bas et sur toute la longueur de manière qu'il présente une surface parallèle à la paroi latérale. Ainsi, au lieu d'avoir un contact par points entre le volet et les ampoules, celui-ci s'établit tout le long d'une portion de génératrice de l'ampoule.In order to provide better retention of the bulbs, one can also fold the end of the flap furthest from the side wall of the tank down and over the entire length so that it has a surface parallel to the side wall . Thus, instead of having point contact between the shutter and the bulbs, it is established along a portion of the generator of the bulb.

L'invention peut être illustrée au moyen des figures qui accompagnent la présente demande:The invention can be illustrated by means of the figures which accompany the present application:
