Description

La présente invention concerne un accessoire de groupage pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'objets.The present invention relates to a grouping accessory for the packaging and presentation of objects.

Les petits objets sont très fréquemment mis en vente sous un emballage constitué d'une coquille plastique thermoformée fixée sur un carton plat.Small objects are very often sold in a package consisting of a thermoformed plastic shell fixed on a flat cardboard.

Ce mode de conditionnement, connu sous le nom de blister, permet de présenter ces objets à la vente sur des présentoirs essentiellement constitués de broches sur lesquelles les blisters sont engagés au moyen d'un trou ménagé sur la partie supérieure du carton.This packaging method, known as a blister, allows these objects to be presented for sale on display stands essentially consisting of pins on which the blisters are engaged by means of a hole made in the upper part of the carton.

Plusieurs blisters peuvent ainsi être placés sur une même broche et il suffit à l'acheteur de retirer un blister de la broche pour l'examiner ou l'acheter.Several blisters can thus be placed on the same pin and the buyer just has to remove a blister from the pin to examine it or buy it.

Ce mode de présentation, très largement diffusé, impose toutefois certaines contraintes au commerçant notamment en ce qui concerne le réapprovisionnement régulier des broches en fonction des vides existants. Ce réapprovisionnement n'est effectué que lorsque la broche autorise la mise en place de plusieurs unités correspondant le plus souvent à la quantité renfermée dans les boîtes fournies par le fabricant ; en fonction du présentoir, les broches peuvent recevoir un multiple de cette quantité, par exemple 6,12 ou 18 unités.This mode of presentation, very widely distributed, however imposes certain constraints on the merchant, in particular with regard to the regular replenishment of the pins according to the existing voids. This replenishment is only carried out when the spindle authorizes the installation of several units corresponding most often to the quantity contained in the boxes supplied by the manufacturer; depending on the display, the pins can receive a multiple of this quantity, for example 6.12 or 18 units.

Ce travail de réapprovisionnement est relativement long puisqu'il faut, après avoir fait l'inventaire des besoins, mettre en place les produits un par un sur chaque broche, après les avoir munis d'une étiquette mentionnant leur prix.This work of replenishment is relatively long since it is necessary, after having made an inventory of needs, to set up the products one by one on each spindle, after having provided them with a label mentioning their price.

Les changements de tarifs nécessitent bien évidemment de reprendre tous les blisters un par un pour effectuer le changement de l'étiquette.Price changes obviously require taking all the blisters one by one to change the label.

De nombreuses autres manipulations doivent aussi être faites unité par unité :

  • - comptabilisation des produits en place lors de l'inventaire ;
  • - vérification de la position des produits éventuellement mélangés par la clientèle ;
  • - réorganisation du présentoir en fonction des saisons ou de la demande ;
  • - élimination des produits qui se vendent mal, etc...
Many other manipulations must also be made unit by unit:
  • - accounting of the products in place during the inventory;
  • - verification of the position of products possibly mixed by customers;
  • - reorganization of the display according to the seasons or demand;
  • - elimination of products that sell poorly, etc ...

Toutes ces opérations sont longues. A titre d'exemple, un présentoir ou un linéaire de 50 cm de long comporte environ quarante broches. Si les broches portent douze produits chacune, cela représente quatre cent quatre-vingt unités. Etant donné qu'il faut environ une heure pour manipuler et étiqueter deux cents produits, l'équipement d'un présentoir de 50 cm correspond à deux heures quarante quatre minutes de travail. Il faut ajouter à ce temps toutes les opérations citées précédemment.All these operations are long. For example, a display or shelf 50 cm long has about forty pins. If the pins carry twelve products each, this represents four hundred and eighty units. Since it takes about an hour to handle and label two hundred products, equipping a 50 cm display unit means two hours and forty-four minutes of work. All the operations mentioned above must be added to this time.

Différents systèmes de recharge de blisters ont déjà été proposés. C'est ainsi que le système décrit dans FR-A-2 191 421 est spécialement destiné au stockage d'articles conditionnés en chapelet et comportant des parties épaisses et des parties plates ; il comporte une armature en forme de peigne double dont les dents sont disposées horizontalement de part et d'autre d'une âme centrale ; l'écartement prévu entre les dents correspond à la partie mince du chapelet dont le maintien est assuré par la partie épaisse reposant sur la face supérieure du peigne ; il est, d'autre part, prévu à l'extrémité des dents des renflements destinés à empêcher le glissement du chapelet vers l'extérieur. Ces renflements ne supportent donc pas la charge d'accrochage. Il faut, par ailleurs, noter que l'utilisation de ce système est strictement réservé au stockage des articles conditionnés en chapelet.Different blister refill systems have already been proposed. Thus the system described in FR-A-2 191 421 is specially intended for the storage of articles packaged in strings and comprising thick parts and flat parts; it comprises a frame in the form of a double comb, the teeth of which are arranged horizontally on either side of a central core; the spacing provided between the teeth corresponds to the thin part of the rosary, the maintenance of which is ensured by the thick part resting on the upper face of the comb; it is, on the other hand, provided at the end of the teeth of the bulges intended to prevent the sliding of the rosary towards the outside. These bulges therefore do not support the hanging load. It should also be noted that the use of this system is strictly reserved for the storage of articles packaged in strings.

La présente invention s'est donné pour but de proposer un nouvel accessoire de groupage pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'objets sous blister qui évite les manipulations unité par unité en assurant le groupement, en un seul tenant, de l'ensemble des blisters contenus dans une boîte.The purpose of the present invention is to propose a new grouping accessory for the packaging and presentation of objects in a blister pack which avoids handling unit by unit by ensuring the grouping, in one piece, of all the blisters contained in a box.

L'accessoire de groupage pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'objets sous blister selon l'invention présente la forme générale d'un peigne comportant un certain nombre de dents réparties régulièrement selon un écartement prédéterminé ; il est caractérisé en ce que chacune de ces dents, disposées verticalement sur une seule face du dos dudit peigne. comporte, sur une partie au moins de l'une de ses faces, un bossage prévu pour se loger dans l'orifice ménagé à la partie supérieure du blister, ledit peigne étant, par ailleurs, équipé, sur la partie supérieure de son dos d'un dispositif de suspension prévu pour s'engager sur une broche d'un présentoir.The grouping accessory for packaging and presenting objects in a blister according to the invention has the general shape of a comb comprising a number of teeth distributed regularly at a predetermined spacing; it is characterized in that each of these teeth, arranged vertically on a single face of the back of said comb. comprises, on at least part of one of its faces, a boss provided for being housed in the orifice provided in the upper part of the blister, said comb being, moreover, equipped, on the upper part of its back d 'A suspension device intended to engage on a spindle of a display.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, toutes les dents présentent, sur l'une de leurs faces, un bossage tourné dans le même sens vers l'intérieur.According to one embodiment of the invention, all the teeth have, on one of their faces, a boss turned in the same inward direction.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, les dents présentent, sur leurs faces adjacentes, des bossages complémentaires.According to another embodiment of the invention, the teeth have, on their adjacent faces, complementary bosses.

Avantageusement, les bossages sont tournés soit vers l'intérieur, soit vers l'extérieur.Advantageously, the bosses are turned either inward or outward.

Alternativement, chaque dent présente un bossage tourné vers l'intérieur et un bossage tourné vers l'extérieur.Alternatively, each tooth has an inward facing boss and an outward facing boss.

Chaque blister est ainsi maintenu dans une dent du peigne, et sa présentation est similaire à celle qu'il aurait s'il était engagé directement sur une broche du présentoir. Il est, d'autre part, possible, par simple traction exercée vers le bas, de décrocher le blister du peigne sans modifier la disposition des autres blisters qui restent engagés dans les autres dents du peigne.Each blister is thus held in a comb tooth, and its presentation is similar to that which it would have if it were engaged directly on a pin of the display. It is, on the other hand, possible, by simple pull downward, to unhook the blister from the comb without modifying the arrangement of the other blisters which remain engaged in the other teeth of the comb.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages ressortiront bien de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, dans lequel :

  • - Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation de l'accessoire pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'objets sous blister selon l'invention, en position d'utilisation ;
  • - Figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale de l'accessoire de figure 1 ;
  • - Figure 3 est une vue de face d'un autre mode de réalisation de l'accessoire selon l'invention ;
  • - Figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un certain nombre d'accessoires représentés en figure 3 en position emboîtée ;
  • - Figure 5 est une vue de face d'un troisième mode de réalisation de l'accessoire selon l'invention.
The present invention will be better understood and other advantages will emerge clearly from the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing, in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the accessory for the packaging and presentation of objects in a blister according to the invention, in the position of use;
  • - Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the accessory of Figure 1;
  • - Figure 3 is a front view of another embodiment of the accessory according to the invention;
  • - Figure 4 is a perspective view of a number of accessories shown in Figure 3 in the nested position;
  • - Figure 5 is a front view of a third embodiment of the accessory according to the invention.

Sur les figures, l'accessoire de groupage pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'objets sous blister selon l'invention est désigné, de façon générale, par 1, les dents par 2, les bossages par 3 et les blisters par 4.In the figures, the grouping accessory for packaging and presenting objects in a blister according to the invention is generally designated by 1, the teeth by 2, the bosses by 3 and the blisters by 4.

L'accessoire selon l'invention présente la forme générale d'un peigne 1, constitué de dents 2 réparties régulièrement selon un écartement prédéterminé, et reliées par un dos 5.The accessory according to the invention has the general shape of a comb 1, consisting of teeth 2 distributed regularly at a predetermined spacing, and connected by a back 5.

Chaque dent 2 comporte sur une partie d'au moins l'une de ses faces et sensiblement au centre de chacune d'elles un bossage 3 qui est prévu pour se loger dans l'orifice 6 ménagé dans la patte de suspension prévue à la partie supérieure du blister 4. Les dents 2 sont réparties régulièrement avec un écartement qui est fonction des dimensions mêmes des blisters que l'on désire recevoir, et notamment de l'épaisseur du carton.Each tooth 2 has on a part of at least one of its faces and substantially in the center of each of them a boss 3 which is intended to be housed in the orifice 6 formed in the suspension lug provided in the upper part of the blister 4. The teeth 2 are distributed regularly with a spacing which is a function of the very dimensions of the blisters which it is desired to receive, and in particular of the thickness of the carton.

Les dimensions relatives des bossages 3 et de l'orifice 6 sont choisies de telle sorte que le blister soit maintenu en position quand il n'est soumis à aucune action autre que son propre poids, mais que l'application d'une traction exercée manuellement de haut en bas sur le blister permette de désolidariser ce dernier du bossage qui l'a reçu.The relative dimensions of the bosses 3 and the orifice 6 are chosen so that the blister is held in position when it is not subjected to any action other than its own weight, but that the application of a traction exerted manually from top to bottom on the blister allows to separate it from the boss that received it.

Le peigne 1 est avantageusement obtenu par moulage d'une matière plastique légèrement déformable élastiquement.The comb 1 is advantageously obtained by molding a plastic material which is slightly elastically deformable.

Sur le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 et 2, les bossages 3 sont disposés sur une seule des faces de chacune des dents 2 : ils sont tous tournés dans le même sens.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bosses 3 are arranged on only one of the faces of each of the teeth 2: they are all turned in the same direction.

Sur le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 3 et 5, les dents 2 présentent, sur leurs faces adjacentes, des bossages 3 complémentaires.In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 5, the teeth 2 have, on their adjacent faces, complementary bosses 3.

C'est ainsi que, sur le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 3. les bossages 3a, 3b de chaque dent 2 sont tournés alternativement respectivement vers l'extérieur et vers l'intérieur.Thus, in the embodiment shown in Figure 3. the bosses 3a, 3b of each tooth 2 are rotated alternately outward and inward respectively.

Sur le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 5, chaque dent 2 présente sur l'une de ses faces un bossage 3a tourné vers l'extérieur et sur l'autre face un bossage 3b tourné vers l'intérieur.In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, each tooth 2 has on one of its faces a boss 3a facing outwards and on the other face a boss 3b facing inwards.

Selon l'invention, le peigne 1 est, par ailleurs, équipé, à la partie supérieure de son dos, d'un dispositif de suspension prévu pour s'engager sur une broche d'un présentoir.According to the invention, the comb 1 is, moreover, equipped, at the upper part of its back, with a suspension device intended to engage on a spindle of a display stand.

Dans un mode de réalisation, tel que celui représenté aux figures 1 et 2, ce dispositif est constitué par des anneaux 8.In one embodiment, such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this device consists of rings 8.

Ces anneaux 8 peuvent être fixés par des zones de liaison aptes à constituer des charnières flexibles de bonne résistance mécanique. Ces charnières permettent de rabattre les anneaux 8 sur le corps 2 lors du rangement de l'accessoire 1 dans la boîte prévue pour son stockage.These rings 8 can be fixed by connecting zones capable of constituting flexible hinges of good mechanical strength. These hinges allow the rings 8 to be folded down onto the body 2 when the accessory 1 is stored in the box provided for its storage.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, tel que celui représenté aux figures 3 et 4, le dispositif de suspension est constitué de deux anneaux elliptiques 10a, 10b assemblés de façon à présenter la forme générale d'un V dont la base tronquée est remplacée par une plaque de matière 11. lesdits anneaux étant rendus solidaires du dos du peigne 1, et symétriquement par rapport au plan médian de ce dernier, sensiblement au niveau de la partie centrale de chacune des branches dudit V ; lesdits anneaux comportent, de part et d'autre de la partie centrale 12 prévue pour permettre leur engagement sur la broche d'un présentoir, des parties pleines 13 venant de moulage et servant de guide audit engagement.In another embodiment, such as that shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the suspension device consists of two elliptical rings 10a, 10b assembled so as to have the general shape of a V whose truncated base is replaced by a material plate 11. said rings being made integral with the back of comb 1, and symmetrical tracing with respect to the median plane of the latter, substantially at the level of the central part of each of the branches of said V; said rings comprise, on either side of the central part 12 provided to allow their engagement on the spindle of a display, solid parts 13 coming from molding and serving as a guide for said engagement.

Avantageusement et afin de faciliter le stockage par emboîtement de plusieurs accessoires selon l'invention, la partie plane de la dent située à chaque extrémité du peigne comporte, venant de moulage, un prolongement 14 dirigé dans le sens de la pointe du V.Advantageously and in order to facilitate the storage by nesting of several accessories according to the invention, the flat part of the tooth situated at each end of the comb comprises, coming from molding, an extension 14 directed in the direction of the point of the V.

On conçoit facilement tout l'intérêt que présente l'invention et la simplification qu'elle apporte au conditionnement et à la présentation d'objets emballés sous blister.It is easy to understand all the interest presented by the invention and the simplification which it brings to the packaging and the presentation of objects packed in blister.

Le préconditionnement des blisters se fait par introduction de chacun d'entre eux entre les dents 2 de l'accessoire de groupage 1 selon l'invention ; quand l'accessoire de groupage 1 est équipé du dispositif de suspension représenté aux figures 1 et 2, chaque dispositif renfermant, par exemple, six blisters, est alors stocké dans la boîte prévue pour le recevoir, les anneaux 8 étant éventuellement rabattus.The preconditioning of the blisters is done by introduction of each of them between the teeth 2 of the grouping accessory 1 according to the invention; when the grouping accessory 1 is equipped with the suspension device shown in Figures 1 and 2, each device containing, for example, six blisters, is then stored in the box intended to receive it, the rings 8 being optionally folded down.

Pour placer les blisters sur le présentoir, il suffira, après ouverture de la boîte. de sortir le dispositif en le prenant par son dos 5, et en relevant les anneaux 8 pour extraire l'ensemble des six blisters 4 contenus dans la boite.To place the blisters on the display, it will suffice, after opening the box. take out the device by taking it by its back 5, and raising the rings 8 to extract all of the six blisters 4 contained in the box.

Quand l'accessoire de groupage 1 est équipé du dispositif de suspension représenté aux figures 3 à 5, le stockage de plusieurs accessoires se fera par emboîtement comme représenté à la figure 4.When the grouping accessory 1 is equipped with the suspension device shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the storage of several accessories will be done by nesting as shown in FIG. 4.

Une simple inclinaison des blisters 4 par rapport à l'accessoire 1 permet un étiquetage facile de chacun des blisters.A simple inclination of the blisters 4 relative to the accessory 1 allows easy labeling of each of the blisters.

Le placement de l'accessoire 1 sur le présentoir se fait par simple introduction des anneaux 8 ou 10a. 10b sur la broche 9.The placement of the accessory 1 on the display is done by simple introduction of the rings 8 or 10a. 10b on pin 9.

Un objet sous blister détaché par erreur de l'accessoire 1 peut être facilement remis sur la broche 9 comme on le voit à le figure 2 en le plaçant alors directement sur celle-ci par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 6 ménagé dans la patte supérieure du blister.An object in a blister pack detached by mistake from the accessory 1 can be easily put back on the pin 9 as seen in FIG. 2 by placing it then directly on the latter via the orifice 6 formed in the tab top of the blister.

L'utilisation de l'accessoire de groupage selon l'invention, qui n'impose, par ailleurs, aucune modification des présentoirs existants, permet de manipuler six blisters à la fois, ce qui correspond à un gain de temps important non seulement au moment du réapprovisionnement mais également quand il s'agit de modifier les prix, de modifier la position des objets pour les faire passer sur le devant de la broche en raison, par exemple, de leur ancienneté.The use of the grouping accessory according to the invention, which moreover does not require any modification of the existing displays, makes it possible to handle six blisters at a time, which corresponds to a significant time saving not only at the time replenishment but also when it is a question of modifying the prices, of modifying the position of the objects to make them pass on the front of the spindle because, for example, of their seniority.

Un simple coup d'oeil suffit, par ailleurs, pour vérifier si, et dans quelle mesure, il est nécessaire de regarnir le présentoir. On constate également moins de mélanges dans les références ; le produit décroché de son peigne sera remis sur la broche ou sur une broche voisine mais la présence même du peigne bloquera l'introduction de plusieurs blisters individuels sur une même broche.A simple glance is enough to check if, and to what extent, it is necessary to refill the display. There is also less mixing in the references; the product unhooked from its comb will be returned to the spindle or to a neighboring pin, but the very presence of the comb will block the introduction of several individual blisters on the same pin.

L'accessoire selon l'invention tel que représenté aux figures 1 et 2 est également d'un très grand intérêt pour le stockage des jeux de blister qui en sont équipés, puisqu'il permet de les stocker dans une boîte qui n'a plus à comporter de couvercle. Il suffit, en eiiet. de pincer une des parois de la boîte entre le bossage de l'avant-dernière dent et le dos de la dent d'extrémité qui lui est immédiatement voisine et de renouveler l'opération sur la paroi opposée de la boîte pour assurer la bonne tenue du jeu de blister dans la boîte qui est destinée à le recevoir.The accessory according to the invention as shown in Figures 1 and 2 is also of great interest for the storage of blister games which are equipped with it, since it allows them to be stored in a box which no longer has to include a cover. It suffices, in fact. pinch one of the walls of the box between the boss of the penultimate tooth and the back of the end tooth which is immediately adjacent to it and repeat the operation on the opposite wall of the box to ensure the good performance of the blister pack in the box which is intended to receive it.
