Description

La présente invention concerne une nouvelle forme de réalisa­tion de l'emballage selon la demande de brevet européen EP-A-O 170 570 et une nouvelle forme de mise en oeuvre du procédé selon la revendication 4 de cette demande de brevet.The present invention relates to a new embodiment of the packaging according to European patent application EP-A-O 170 570 and a new embodiment of the method according to claim 4 of this patent application.

On rappelle que celle-ci concerne un emballage pour le condi­tionnement de lots d'objets de volumes différents, du type comprenant une caisse américaine ou similaire et un film de matière plastique thermorétractable solidaire du fond de la caisse, caractérisé en ce que le film de matière plastique est pincé entre les rabats externes, attenants à deux parois parallèles de la caisse et constituant le fond proprement dit de l'emballage, et les rabats internes, attenants aux deux autres parois, généralement les parois de plus petite largeur, qui doublent ce fond intérieurement.It will be recalled that this relates to a packaging for packaging batches of objects of different volumes, of the type comprising an American box or the like and a film of heat-shrinkable plastic material secured to the bottom of the box, characterized in that the film of plastic material is pinched between the external flaps, adjoining two parallel walls of the box and constituting the actual bottom of the packaging, and the internal flaps, adjoining the other two walls, generally the walls of smaller width, which double this internally melts.

La demande de brevet précitée a également pour objet un pro­cédé de fabrication d'un tel emballage caractérisé en ce que, l'emballage étant ouvert à sa partie supérieure et à sa par­tie inférieure, le film de matière plastique thermorétracta­ble, déroulé à partir d'une bobine à l'aide d'un moyen d'en­traînement, est abaissé à l'intérieur de l'emballage à l'aide d'un piston ou similaire, parallèlement à deux parois laté­rales opposées, jusqu'à dépasser l'arête libre des rabats, en ce que les deux rabats attenants aux deux autres parois latérales, de préférence celles ayant la plus petite largeur, sont alors repliés vers l'intérieur de l'emballage perpen­diculairement aux parois attenantes et sont éventuellement encollés par points sur leur face externe, en ce que le film est alors ramené en contact avec la face externe des rabats précédemment repliés, en ce que les deux autres rabats sont repliés à leur tour et appliqués contre la face externe dudit film, et en ce que celui-ci est découpé latéralement, de manière à définir des parties destinées à être rabattues ultérieurement sur les objets conditionnés, préalablement à la rétraction du film plastique.The aforementioned patent application also relates to a process for manufacturing such a packaging, characterized in that, the packaging being open at its upper part and at its lower part, the film of heat-shrinkable plastic, unwound from a spool by means of a driving means, is lowered inside the packaging by means of a piston or the like, parallel to two opposite side walls, until it exceeds the free edge flaps, in that the two flaps adjoining the other two side walls, preferably those having the smallest width, are then folded towards the inside of the packaging perpendicular to the adjoining walls and are optionally glued in spots on their external face , in that the film is then brought back into contact with the external face of the flaps previously folded, in that the other two flaps are folded in turn and applied against the external face of said film, and in that the latter is cut out lat in general, so as to define parts intended to be folded down later on the conditioned objects, before the shrinkage of the plastic film.

Dans cet emballage, le film de matière plastique peut être rendu solidaire, par collage, de la face interne des rabats externes et/ou de la face externe des rabats internes.In this packaging, the plastic film can be made integral, by gluing, of the internal face of the external flaps and / or of the external face of the internal flaps.

La fixation par collage des rabats externes contre le film de matière plastique se révèle en général insuffisante pour assurer une bonne tenue en position fermée de l'emballage, car celui-ci est ensuite soumis à de multiples opérations, notamment de remplissage, de chauffage de la matière plasti­que thermorétractable, de manutention et de convoyage. Il est cependant difficile de rendre les rabats externes directement solidaires, par collage, des rabats internes, puisque le film de matière plastique est interposé entre les rabats internes et externes. Aussi, dans la pratique, comme mentionné dans la demande de brevet précitée, colle-t-on habituellement sur la face externe des rabats externes une bande adhésive che­vauchant ces rabats et les rendant ainsi solidaires l'un de l'autre. Cette opération, qui est usuelle dans la technique, est cependant coûteuse, en raison, d'une part, des frais occasionnés par la bande gommée, d'autre part, de la néces­sité de prévoir sur les chaînes de fabrication un poste supplémentaire.The fixing by gluing of the external flaps against the plastic film is generally insufficient to ensure good resistance in the closed position of the packaging, since it is then subjected to multiple operations, in particular filling, heating of heat shrinkable plastic, handling and conveying. It is however difficult to make the external flaps directly secured, by gluing, the internal flaps, since the plastic film is interposed between the internal and external flaps. Also, in practice, as mentioned in the aforementioned patent application, do we usually stick on the external face of the external flaps an adhesive strip overlapping these flaps and thus making them integral with one another. This operation, which is usual in the art, is however expensive, due, on the one hand, to the costs occasioned by the gummed strip, on the other hand, the need to provide an additional station on the production lines.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un emballage dans lequel les rabats externes sont contrecollés sur une partie des rabats internes, contre la­quelle n'est pas appliquée la face interne du film de matière plastique, cette partie étant, au contraire, appliquée contre la face externe de ce film.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a packaging in which the external flaps are laminated to a part of the internal flaps, against which the internal face of the plastic film is not applied, this part being, on the contrary, applied against the external face of this film.

L'invention a par conséquent pour objet un emballage du type défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins une languette découpée dans chacun des rabats internes du fond et articulée sur la paroi attenante par une ligne de pivotement constituée par l'arête de raccordement de cette paroi et du rabat associé est appliquée contre la face externe du film de matière plas­tique thermorétractable et est collée contre la face interne des rabats externes du fond.The invention therefore relates to a package of the type defined above, characterized in that at least one tongue cut from each of the internal flaps of the bottom and articulated on the adjoining wall by a pivot line formed by the connection edge of this wall and the associated flap is applied against the outer face of the film of heat-shrinkable plastic and is glued against the inner face of the outer flaps of the bottom.

L'invention a également pour objet une variante du procédé selon la demande de brevet précitée, pour la réalisation de l'emballage qui vient d'être défini, caractérisée en ce que, lorsque les rabats internes du fond de l'emballage sont ra­battus vers l'intérieur de celui-ci, perpendiculairement aux parois attenantes, lesdites languettes sont maintenues dans le plan des parois attenantes ou dans un plan faisant un angle obtus avec ces parois, et ce jusqu'à ce que le film de matière plastique ait été amené en contact avec la face ex­terne desdits rabats internes, en ce que lesdites languettes, éventuellement après encollage de leur face interne, sont en­suite appliquées contre la face externe dudit film et en ce que, après encollage de la face externe desdites languettes ou de la partie correspondante de la face interne des rabats externes, lesdits rabats externes sont appliqués contre les­dites languettes.The invention also relates to a variant of the method according to the aforementioned patent application, for the production of the packaging which has just been defined, characterized in that, when the internal flaps of the bottom of the packaging are folded towards inside thereof, perpendicular to the adjoining walls, said tabs are held in the plane of the adjoining walls or in a plane making an obtuse angle with these walls, and this until the plastic film has been brought in contact with the external face of said internal flaps, in that said tabs, optionally after gluing of their internal face, are then applied against the external face of said film and in that, after gluing of the external face of said tabs or of the part corresponding to the inner face of the outer flaps, said outer flaps are applied against said tabs.

On obtient ainsi un emballage du type décrit ci-dessus, dans lequel les rabats externes sont collés contre les languettes issues des rabats internes et sont par conséquent maintenues fermement en position, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser un moyen auxiliaire de solidarisation.A package of the type described above is thus obtained, in which the external flaps are glued against the tabs coming from the internal flaps and are consequently held firmly in position, without it being necessary to use an auxiliary fastening means.

Les languettes pourront ou non être collées contre le film de matière plastique, de même que les rabats externes. De préférence, cependant, comme décrit dans la demande précitée, le film de matière plastique sera collé contre la face ex­terne des rabats internes.The tabs may or may not be glued against the plastic film, as well as the external flaps. Preferably, however, as described in the aforementioned application, the plastic film will be glued against the external face of the internal flaps.

L'emballage représenté sur les dessins comprend une caisse américaine 1 et un film en une matière plastique thermo­rétractable 2. Ce film est pincé entre le fond proprement dit de la caisse, constitué par les volets externes 3 attenants aux parois latérales 4 (de préférence les plus larges), ces volets 3 étant assemblés entre eux par un ruban adhésif non représenté, et les volets internes 5, attenants aux parois latérales 6 de la caisse. Conformément à l'invention, une languette 7 est découpée dans les rabats internes 5 du fond, de manière à rester attenante à la paroi latérale 6 associée, par rapport à laquelle elle est montée pivotante autour de l'arête de raccordement de cette paroi et du rabat attenant. La languette 7 peut avoir tout type de forme et toutes dimen­sions. Elle peut éventuellement se prolonger jusqu'au bord du rabat 5.The packaging shown in the drawings comprises an American box 1 and a film of heat-shrinkable plastic 2. This film is pinched between the bottom of the box itself, consisting of the external flaps 3 adjoining the side walls 4 (preferably the wider), these flaps 3 being assembled together by an adhesive tape not shown, and the internal flaps 5, adjoining the side walls 6 of the body. According to the invention, a tongue 7 is cut in the internal flaps 5 of the bottom, so as to remain adjacent to the associated side wall 6, with respect to which it is pivotally mounted around the connection edge of this wall and of the adjoining flap. The tongue 7 can have any type of shape and any size. It can possibly extend to the edge of the flap 5.

Pour réaliser cet emballage, la caisse américaine 1 est d'abord ouverte à ses deux extrémités, avec les volets 3 et 5 destinés à constituer le fond disposés dans le prolongement des parois attenantes 4 et 6 avec les languettes 7 dispo­sées dans le plan des volets 5 ou écartés vers l'extérieur, comme représenté sur la figure 1, en formant un angle obtus avec la face externe des parois 6.To make this packaging, the American box 1 is first open at its two ends, with the flaps 3 and 5 intended to constitute the bottom arranged in the extension of the adjoining walls 4 and 6 with the tongues 7 arranged in the plane of the flaps. 5 or spaced outwards, as shown in FIG. 1, forming an obtuse angle with the external face of the walls 6.

Le film 2 de matière plastique thermorétractable est alors introduit dans l'emballage avec ses deux brins 2a, 2b appli­qués contre la face interne des parois 4, jusqu'à ce que la partie 2c réunissant les brins 2a et 2b dépasse l'extrémité des volets 3 et 5 (figure 1). Les volets 5 sont alors rabattus à angle droit vers l'intérieur de la caisse, tout en mainte­nant les languettes 7 dans leur position de départ, par exemple à l'aide de ventouses aspirantes ou de taquets. Les languettes 7 étant toujours maintenues dans cette position, les deux brins 2a, 2b du film 2 sont alors remontés le long des parois 4, de manière à appliquer la partie 2c contre la face externe des volets 5, de préférence encollée.The film 2 of heat-shrinkable plastic is then introduced into the packaging with its two strands 2 a , 2 b applied against the internal face of the walls 4, until the part 2 c bringing together the strands 2 a and 2 b exceeds the end of the flaps 3 and 5 (FIG. 1). The flaps 5 are then folded at a right angle towards the inside of the body, while maintaining the tabs 7 in their starting position, for example using suction cups or cleats. The tongues 7 are still held in this position, the two strands 2 a , 2 b of the film 2 are then reassembled along the walls 4, so as to apply the part 2 c against the external face of the flaps 5, preferably glued.

On applique alors la face interne des languettes 7, éventuel­lement après encollage, contre le film 2, puis on rabat les volets 3 contre la face externe préalablement encollée des languettes 7, dont ils deviennent ainsi parfaitement soli­daires, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de réunir ensuite ces volets par une bande adhésive les chevauchant.The internal face of the tongues 7 is then applied, optionally after gluing, against the film 2, then the flaps 3 are folded against the external surface previously glued with the tongues 7, of which they thus become perfectly secured, without it being necessary to join together then these shutters by an overlapping adhesive strip.

L'invention apporte donc un moyen simple et facile à mettre en oeuvre pour fixer en position de fermeture les volets externes du fond de l'emballage de la demande précitée.The invention therefore provides a simple and easy to implement means for fixing in the closed position the external flaps of the bottom of the packaging of the aforementioned application.
