Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new embodiment of the packaging according to European patent application EP-A 0 170 570 which appears in the state of the art as defined in Article 5u (3) EPC, and a new form of implementation of the method according to claim 4 of this patent application.
  • this relates to a packaging for packaging batches of objects of different volumes, 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 outer flaps, adjoining two parallel walls of the box and constituting the bottom proper of the package, and the inner flaps, adjoining the other two walls, generally the walls of smaller width, which double this bottom internally .
  • 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 material, 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 eral, so as to define parts intended to be folded down later on the conditioned objects, before the shrinkage of the plastic film.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention therefore relates to a packaging of the type defined above, characterized in that at least one tongue cut out in each of the internal flaps of the bottom and articulated on the adjoining wall by a pivot line formed by the edge connecting 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.
  • 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.
  • the tabs may or may not be glued against the plastic film, as well as the external flaps.
  • the plastic film will be glued against the external face of the internal flaps.
  • the packaging shown in the drawings includes an American box 1 and a film of material heat-shrinkable plastic 2.
  • This film is pinched between the bottom proper of the body, constituted by the external flaps 3 adjoining the side walls 4 (preferably the largest), 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.
  • 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.
  • the American box 1 is first opened 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 and with the tongues 7 arranged in the plane of the flaps 5 or spread outwards, as shown in FIG. 1, forming an obtuse angle with the external face of the walls 6.
  • the film 2 of heat-shrinkable plastic is then introduced into the packaging with its two strands 2a, 2b applied against the internal face of the walls 4, until the part 2c joining the strands 2La and 2b exceeds the end of the flaps. 3 and 5 ( Figure 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 tabs 7 are still held in this position, the two strands 2a, 2b of the film 2 are then reassembled along the walls 4, so as to apply the part 2c against the outer face of the flaps 5, preferably glued.
  • 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.

Claims (3)

1. Verpackung für Güter mit verschiedenen Massen bestehend aus einer Faltschachtel (1) oder ähnlichem und einer thermoschrumpfenden Kunststofffolie (2), welche gemeinsam mit dem Boden der Schachtel ausgebildet ist, wobei die Kunststoffolie (2) zwischen den äußeren an zwei parallele Wände der Schachtel angrenzenden Klappen (3), welche den eigentlichen Boden der Verpackung bilden und den inneren, an die zwei anderen parallelen Wände angrenzenden Klappen (5) und welche den Boden innen verdoppeln, eingeklemmt ist, wobei diese Verpackung wenigstens eine aus jeder der inneren Klappen (5) des Bodens ausgeschnittene Lasche (7) aufweist und welche an der benachbarten Wand (6) durch eine Faltungslinie befestigt ist, bestehend aus der Verbindungskante dieser Wand und der zugehörigen Klappe, welche Lasche an der Außenfläche der thermoschrumpfenden Kunststoffolie (2) anliegt und an der Innenfläche der äußeren Klappen (3) des Bodens angeklebt ist.
