Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closed package with a peripheral link serving as a handle and a gripping cavity in front of which the link with improved grip passes whatever the containers.
  • the occupancy rate of the useful surface area thus increases correlatively to the reduction in width of the grouping linked to the nesting of the containers arranged in staggered rows.
  • peripheral strapping has already been used on the outside of the carton for packaging to immobilize the containers inside a closed package. or with a single continuous lateral surface (French patent LAFARGE Emballage n ° 2.302.244) but also to immobilize the only side panels of a packaging with upper lateral surface with open end around a group of containers (French patent TETRA PAK n ° 2.149.899).
  • a secondary objective of the invention consists in making the packaging in two separate materials, the first for the bottom, in the manner of a false corrugated cardboard tray of the microcannel type which does not need to be printed. and providing rigidity and absorption of vertical shocks in the pallets between the bottoms of the bottles and caps of the underlying layer, the second kraft cardboard printed resistor minimum for the remainder of the package, the cohesion of grouping is ensured only by the link.
  • the object of the invention is to fulfill these three conditions simultaneously on a packaging with peripheral strapping by planar link, by offering a remarkable ease of grip of the link used as a handle in the central part of at least one of the faces of the lateral ends.
  • the packaging according to the invention is defined by the claim divided into two parts with regard to FR-A 2 149 899.
  • the general inventive idea therefore consists in therefore using the end-of-row recess (s) of an arrangement staggered containers in closed packaging with peripheral link to constitute means for guiding and passing the hand through the front plane of the packaging in order to facilitate entry of the link.
  • the general inventive idea consists, for larger numbers of bottles grouped together, in increasing the width of the cavity by an arrangement in association of staggered rows in order to bring the entry width closer to the receiving receptor cavity. that of an adult hand, taking into account the usual diameters of small bottles.
  • the invention relates to a closed package with peripheral link called to play the role of handle at least at one of its ends, characterized in that the body of the package forms at the location or at the free end locations, resulting from the staggered arrangement, a receiving cavity behind the link, used for the passage of the hand and the grasping of the link with a view to taking, moving and carrying the packaging, said packaging can be erected into a sheath and benefit from a bottom-up cavity.
  • the general inventive idea consists in using the end recesses of a staggered arrangement of containers in several rows to constitute in a closed packaging with peripheral strapping an end receiving cavity delimiting sufficient space. for the passage of the hand in order to grasp the link through the frontal plane of the cavity and to use it as a handle.
  • the width of the receiving cavity is increased on large models by a double staggered grouping arrangement which makes it possible to make it equal or to bring it closer to an average adult hand.
  • the packaging according to the invention applies to at least three different types of staggered arrangements: a first type of longitudinal configuration of three rows (Figure 3) for a small group of bottles: eight, eleven, fourteen, seventeen , and two additional layouts staggered rows ( Figures 9 and 10).
  • the first in wide configuration is a juxtaposition of two quincunxes of three rows for larger groups of bottles: twenty, twenty-six, thirty-two ... and the second in narrow configuration in juxtaposition of two quincunxes of two rows for groupings of: eighteen, twenty-two, twenty-six, thirty ....
  • the packaging according to the invention consists of a packaging body 1 and a bottom 2 on which the body 1 of the packaging is attached by gluing.
  • the funds 2 have, for this purpose, side flaps 3 and 4 serving as bonding tabs.
  • the transverse edges 5 of the bottom have semi-curvilinear cutouts or in broken lines 6 and 7 for the small model and 8 and 9 for the large model according to the particular end configuration. These cutouts are separated by a central flap forming the end bonding tab 10 or 11 respectively for the small and large models.
  • the bottoms are made of corrugated cardboard with micro-grooves oriented perpendicular to the side flaps 3 and 4 to give them good overall rigidity and the desired ease of folding.
  • transverse shocks to the packaging will be better absorbed because the grooves have better resistance in this direction.
  • the top called body 1 of the packaging is made of printable kraft cardboard. It comprises a peripheral link 12 of the planar type, for example a polypropylene strip giving it a low elasticity in traction.
  • the packaging includes on the upper face 13 or 14 pre-cut access hatches 15 and 16 for the small model and 17 and 18 for the large models. These hatches, of classic characteristics, open completely detached on the small model and include a double articulation fold 19 and 20 recessed on the large models allowing the flap of the hatch flaps behind the link. In all cases, there remains a sufficient border of material around the hatches so that the object retains sufficient rigidity with the packaging open.
  • the general shapes of the packaging are conditioned by the shape of the group or groups of bottles.
  • the packages have side panels 21 and 22 connected to the upper face 13 or 14 by longitudinal oblique cut sections such as 23. These cut sections are repeated at transverse ends of the packaging as will be seen below.
  • the small model is simple grouping.
  • the distribution of containers shown in Figure 3 shows three rows arranged in staggered rows.
  • the central row has a lower number of containers, leaving a free space at each end.
  • the free end volume is shaped in the packaging in the form of a receiving cavity 24 set back from the front end plane, a cavity used as access volume for gripping the link allowing the passage of the hand behind the link and its seizure for the realization of the handle function.
  • the end structures of the small model consist of the following means.
  • the packaging has at least one end forming a receiving cavity 24 recessed behind the link 12 passing through the front end plane.
  • the wrapping of the end bottles on either side of the central recess and that of the walls of the receiving cavity 24 are produced by a succession of flaps and flaps coming to rest by covering and gluing.
  • the end is formed by three flaps, two lateral flaps 25 and 26 each connected by a vertical oblique face 27 and 28 to the corresponding vertical side surface panel and an upper flap such as 29 which overlap to form in the folded state the complete end of the packaging and constitute the receiving cavity 24.
  • An identical cavity is formed at the opposite end in the case of a symmetrical packaging.
  • the lateral end flaps 25 and 26 comprise three vertical panels in series, separated by parallel grooves. These are, from the center outwards, seen on the flat blank, panels with a small end face 30 or 31 defining the front plane of the packaging, two lateral cut sides 32 or 33 forming the walls vertical lateral sides of the cavity 24 and of two vertical panels at the bottom of the cavity 34 or 35 which, on the one hand, are applied to and secured by bonding to the central flap 10 or 11 from the bottom 2 and, on the other hand, form bottom wall of the cavity 24.
  • the upper flap 29 constitutes the connection with the upper face and forms the inclined upper part of the cavity 24. It includes a cutaway oblique connection 36 constituting an inclined plane extended in the central part 37 by an immobilizing tongue 38 and on each side by two lateral bonding tabs 39 and 40 covered by the panels 30 or 31 of small end face.
  • the immobilization tab 38 consists of a first locking flap 41 of trapezoidal shape followed by a locking flap 42 of rectangular shape glued to one or the other of the panels 34 and 35 of the cavity bottom. These flaps respectively form the upper part and a part of the bottom of the cavity 24 and maintain the adjacent panels.
  • the link 12 is placed around the packaging in a plane perpendicular to the generatrices of the bottles, preferably in the plane of gravity of the grouping of the bottles carried horizontally.
  • the link fulfills two functions simultaneously: placed tightly, it ensures the cohesion of the grouping and plays the role of handle.
  • first locking flap 41 lateral centering tabs 45 and 46 cooperating with corresponding oblique notches 47 and 48 formed in the two lateral cut sides 32 and 33.
  • Other lateral tabs 49 and 50 are also provided at the end of the locking flap 42 which engages in corresponding vertical notches 51 and 52 cut at the separation of the side cut sides 32 and 33 and the bottom panels 34 and 35 of the cavity.
  • Compensation notches are also provided on the free vertical edges of the panels 34 and 35.
  • the upper flap 29 is articulated laterally to the cut horizontal and vertical upper connecting sections by a set of dihedral joints 53 consisting of three small panels of generally triangular shape forming on the mounted packaging a hollow trihedron.
  • the upper flap 29 comes down, immobilization tab 38 raised while the side flaps remain open.
  • the latter are then folded down with bonding of the legs 39 and 40 as well as the bonding of the central leg of the bottom 10 or 11.
  • the immobilization tongue is then only folded down and definitively put in place by a bonding carried out simultaneously with the engagement of the side tabs in the corresponding notches.
  • the receiving cavity is thus completely formed and held in place.
  • the general shapes of the packaging are identical to those of the small model already described above.
  • the larger width receiving cavity offers more space and therefore more comfort in the consumer's hand for taking the link.
  • the embodiment in juxtaposition of two staggered rows of three rows shown in FIG. 9 has a very original general hexagonal shape.
  • This embodiment of a large model packaging according to the invention has an enlarged symmetrical shape with a double width cavity conditioned by two groups of three rows of containers.
  • This type of arrangement makes it possible to group together in a single package a larger number of containers differing between them by six units. In practice, the numbers twenty, twenty-six and thirty-two can be reached.
  • the volumes corresponding to the end locations are transformed in the packaging into receiving cavities formed in the body of the packaging by a combination of flap panels and bonding tabs.
  • the vertical side face panels 21 and 22 are extended by the vertical oblique sections 27 and 28 and the side flaps 25 and 26 of the same type formed by three panels in series.
  • the end of these lateral flaps 25 and 26 remains on the same transverse line as that of the end of the central immobilizing tongue 38. Therefore and due to the large width of the packaging, the cavity bottom panels 34 and 35 are no longer overlapping. Their free edge does not therefore require any compensation notch, and the locking flap 42 is glued to the two panels 34 and 35 simultaneously.
  • All the vertical oblique sections 27 and 28 are connected to the upper face 14 by corner cut sections 54 and 55 whose fold lines 56 are inclined at an angle of 60 ° with respect to the lines of the bottles, in connection, of each side, with the adjacent oblique sections by a bellows joint 57.
  • Each corner cutaway 54 or 55 is extended towards the corresponding oblique vertical pan 27 or 28 by a bonding tab 58 or 59.
  • an additional horizontal notch 60 or 61 is necessary to ensure sufficient maintenance of the link. It overlaps the dividing groove of the adjacent lateral surface panel 21 or 22 and of the corresponding oblique vertical pan 27 or 28.
  • the packaging is formed as before by gluing the side flaps 3 and 4 at the bottom to the lower edges of the vertical panels. lateral face wedges 21 and 22 simultaneously with the lowering of the corner cut sections 54 and 55 on the one hand and 36 on the other hand, immobilization tongue 38 kept raised. Then push the side flaps towards the free space and then proceed to bonding the legs 58 and 59 to the adjacent vertical oblique sides 27 and 28 and then bonding the side tabs 39 and 40 of the upper flap 29, immobilization tongue 38 still raised .
  • the vertical cavity bottom panels 34 and 35 are then glued to the central flap 11 of the bottom.
  • the immobilization tab is then folded down, put in place, glued and locked by the play of the lateral tabs and secondary notches as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 no longer has longitudinal upper oblique sections or corners and therefore proves to be better suited to cylindrical or high-conical containers due, for the former, to volume gain and for the latter. , displacement towards the top of the plane of gravity and, consequently, approximation of the link of the upper wall of the reception cavity correspondingly reducing the inlet section.
  • the guiding idea of this variant therefore consists in saving space upwards in order to keep a passage section sufficient for the consumer's hand and to guarantee that user comfort is maintained.
  • the vertical panels of lateral surface 21 and 22 continue upwards to the upper face 14 having a configuration identical in shape to that of the large model but in larger surface, which correlatively allows to provide larger hatches to facilitate access to bottles.

  • the lateral bonding tabs 39 and 40 are of greater length.
  • connection of the corners of the upper face 14 to the vertical cut sections 27 and 28 is carried out in this case by a simple bellows 62 and 63, returning to the packaging at the time of its assembly with, possibly, a point of immobilizing glue. between the two flaps of the bellows.
  • FIG. 13 An additional example of a small or large model illustrating the general means of the invention is shown in FIG. 13. It incorporates the essential characteristics of the other models without vertical cut sides 27 and 28 or oblique upper panels of circumference, the two lateral tabs of independent bonding which can advantageously, in this case, be replaced by a single front panel 64 with vertical lateral extensions 65 and 66, the whole folded over and glued to the vertical panels 30 and 31 of small end faces.
  • the central part 67 of this panel in this case ensures the connection between the upper face 14 and the trapezoidal locking flap 41, the latter constituting, as on the other models, the upper face of the receiving cavity 24.
  • the upper panel would be connected directly on the one hand to the vertical lateral faces and on the other hand to the lateral gluing tabs connected to the end lateral panels and finally to the trapezoidal panel forming the upper face of the receiving cavity end.
  • the characteristic described improves the aptitude for dressing the packaging and for shaping it for the quick and easy constitution of a sheath or a pre-glued case because the force of approximation of the walls would not allow, without the characteristic ci -afterwards, correctly raise the cut corners and the central front panels to easily admit the grouping of containers in the interior volume, this due to the complexity of shutters, panels and bellows on the front.
  • the upper grooves 68 and 69 separating the upper face of the oblique longitudinal cut sections are extended on either side through the corner cut sections 53 and 54 and their bonding tabs 58 and 59 respectively by segments 70 and 71 to constitute a continuous fold line parallel to the other fold lines present on the lateral faces, making it possible to erect the packaging in a sheath or in a case.
  • This continuous creasing over the entire length of the packaging allows, thanks to the semi-rigidity of the upper face, to raise by an overall movement the central succession of flaps and flaps of the front face to clear the opening of the case of sufficient section to ensure the mechanization of admission of the grouping of containers into the free interior volume after shaping the packaging in a sheath or in a case by lateral pressure.

  • the immobilization tab is then folded down, put in place, glued and locked by the play of the lateral tabs and secondary notches.
  • an appropriate configuration of the flat cut, made in one or two pieces, and more particularly a modification of the succession of the flaps, flaps, tabs and flaps constituting the upper part of the front face makes it possible to go up from Sufficiently the upper limit of the cavity ( Figures 18 to 22).
  • the upper fold line 74 is raised constituting the articulation of the immobilization tongue 38 with the oblique connection panel 36 by individualizing, in said oblique panel 36 two end extensions hereinafter called connecting tongues 75 and 76.
  • These tongues are bounded longitudinally by the longitudinal outer edges of the pan 36 and the lateral edges of an opening 77 in said pan, the cross section of which constitutes the bulk of the passage reserved for the consumer's hand for access to the link.
  • the bonding tabs located, in the previous versions, in extension on either side of the oblique pan 36 referenced here 78 and 79 are articulated according to the present improvement to the panels of small end face 30 and 31.
  • connection lines 82, 83, 84 and 85 are situated in the exact extension of the connection lines 82, 83, 84 and 85 between the longitudinal oblique sections 23, the sections cut from corners 54 and 55 and the adjacent vertical panels 21, 22, 27 and 28 of lateral surface.
  • the modification according to the present improvement also results in the cutting by specific bonding tabs 88 and 89, corner cut sections 54 and 55.
  • These tabs in the shape of a rectangular trapezium are each provided with a notch 90 and 91 to keep the passage of full opening of the link in the corresponding neighboring notches 43 and 44 thus allowing the link 12 to remain in direct and complete contact with the body of the bottles.
  • the depth of the cavity can also be increased simultaneously by increasing the width of the lateral cut sections 32 and 33.
  • the necessary adaptation dictated by the imperatives of economy is obtained on the one hand by connecting the bottom of the packaging which has become less rigid as close as possible to its outer edge by a central flap ensuring the connection between the bottom of the grip cavity and the bottom of the packaging and, on the other hand, by covering the bottom cavity panels which have become shorter using the central connecting flap no longer at the lowest level, near the bottom of the packaging, but at an intermediate level between said bottom of the packaging and the upper limit of the bottom of the cavity.
  • this improvement is characterized in that the central flap of the bottom present on each of the transverse sides of the bottom is connected along a fold line situated in front of the bottom of the cavity, the bottom comprising on either side of the central flap auxiliary support legs secured in the lower part to the lateral surface for additional support.
  • the bottom 2 has on either side of the central connecting flap 92 of the auxiliary support legs 95 and 96 secured in the lower part to the adjacent wall preferably at the level of the vertical oblique sections 27 and 28 as shown in the figures although a closer hold is necessary in some cases.
  • the flaps 34, 35 and 42 no longer fully cover the surface of the bottom of the cavity leaving an opening 98 in the lower part of the bottom of the cavity.
  • this opening 98 is hidden by the corresponding central connecting flap 92 of the bottom 2, articulated around the fold line 93 advanced outward preferably to the entry plane 94 of the cavity containing the link 12.
  • This flap is folded down and locked in an inclined plane by bonding a connection tab 99 which it has at the end on the locking flap 42 in any position.
  • connection area of the central connecting flap 92 that is that is, its inclination and length can vary significantly.
  • the upper part of the flat cut is folded over the group of containers previously placed on the bottom by pivoting around the connecting groove 100 of the large adjacent side face in the case of a cut delivered flat.
  • a sheath is then formed by bonding the securing lug 101 of the bottom 2. Then the folding movements of the different flaps begin to form each small end face and in particular the cavity 24.
  • the panels 30 and 31 of small end faces, the side cut sides 32 and 33 as well as the vertical panels 34 and 35 of the bottom of the cavity are folded down (FIG. 24).
  • the locking and locking flaps 41 and 42 are then folded down, then the central connecting flaps 92 of the bottom 2 and the auxiliary support legs 95 and 96 are made integral (FIG. 25).
  • the flap 42 is glued to the bottom panels 34 and 35 of the cavity bottom and the central connecting flap 92 of the bottom hides the lower part and is secured to the flap 42 at any height from the bottom of the cavity by its connection tab 99 which closes opening area 98.
