Definitions
- the present invention relates to packages of the pallet box type, in which parallel longitudinal sleeves, integral with the bottom of a cardboard, corrugated or similar container, receive reinforcement blocks made of a rigid or semi-rigid material, by example of expanded polystyrene, to form a pallet under the container and thus allow it to be transported using forklift trucks.
- DE-A-27 29 265 describes a pallet box of this type comprising a container in the bottom of which are cut tabs adjoining this bottom and arranged in positions such that they can at least partially close off the ends of said ends. sleeves, said tabs being folded inside the sleeves under the stress of the reinforcement blocks and being pinched between them and the part of the sleeves in contact with the bottom of the container.
- the present invention relates to a pallet box of this type, the container of which is a so-called "American" box and in which, in order to allow pre-assembly of the various components and the flat folding of the pallet box thus pre-assembled , the sleeves consist of two half-sleeves, which, after the pallet box has been placed in volume, are placed end to end and respectively secured to the external flaps of the box via said tabs, each half sheath receiving a block of independent reinforcement.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a pallet box comprising a container of the American box type comprising a bottom formed by two adjoining external flaps by a fold line with two parallel walls and possibly doubled by two internal flaps adjoining the two other walls. , tongues being cut out in said external flaps in order to be engaged in the ends and / or associated sheath slots, arranged perpendicular to said parallel walls, said sheaths receiving reinforcement blocks made of a rigid material, which secure said external flaps and said sleeves by means of said tongues, this pallet box being characterized in that said sleeves consist of two independent half-sleeves, which, after the volume of the pallet box, are placed end to end and secured respectively said external flaps by means of said tabs, each half-sleeve receiving an independent reinforcement block, said half-sleeves being either independent or adjoining two by two by the wall intended to be applied against said flaps, with a transverse fold line formed in said wall between said half-sleeves.
- each half-sheath will thus be secured to the bottom flap with which it is associated thanks to the corresponding reinforcement block and it will however be possible to fold the pallet box flat:
- the pre-assembled pallet box can thus be stored, delivered to users and handled in a small volume and its volume setting by users will be as simple as that of the usual American boxes.
- pallet boxes of this type can also be delivered to unassembled users, that is to say with their separate components, and, in this case, even if said half-sleeves are attached two by two, it will not be necessary to provide fold lines in the other walls and in the associated shutters.
- the flaps carrying the sleeves may be left independent or made integral by gluing or stapling the internal flaps, or even be made integral with one another by a gummed strip.
- the pallet box 11 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is of the American box type, and its bottom consists of two external flaps 12 of corrugated cardboard or the like, adjoining two parallel side walls 13 and lined internally with two adjoining flaps 14 to the other two walls.
- flaps 12 are cut, in the extension of the walls 13, tongues 15 and, in the middle part, two tongues 16, intended to make the flaps 12 integral respectively with a half-sheath 17.
- the half-sheaths integral with the flaps 12 are independent of each other, but associated two by two, in the extension of one another, to form sleeves within the meaning of the invention.
- the half-sleeves 17 are of square section, in this case. They can be made of corrugated cardboard or any other semi-rigid material. They are intended to receive reinforcement blocks 18, in expanded polystyrene for example, of corresponding section.
- the establishment of the half-sleeves 17 on the associated flaps 12 is carried out by engaging the tabs 16 in the slots 19 and applying the half-sleeves against the bottom of the container. It then suffices to engage the blocks 18 in the half-sleeves 17, from their outer end, to fold inwards against the part of the half-sheath which comes into contact with the bottom of the container, first the tabs 15, then the tabs 16, which are thus pinched between the blocks 18 and the half-sheath. These tongues are therefore locked in position and consequently immobilize the half-sleeves 17, which are thus perfectly integral with the external flaps 12, without any auxiliary means of fixing having been used.
- the half-sleeves 17 and their reinforcement blocks 18 are in the extension of one another.
- the bottom of the pallet box is equipped with several pairs of half-sleeves and blocks arranged in parallel, on which the container can bear and which allow it to be moved using a transport or lifting trolley .
- the half-sleeves 17 and the blocks 18 arranged in the extension of each other are however independent, so that it is possible to bring the flaps 12 equipped with the half-sleeves and their reinforcing block in the extension of the walls 13 adjoining, as well as the flaps 14 associated with the other two walls, in order to be able to fold the pallet box flat in the usual manner for American boxes.
- the half-sleeves 17' are no longer independent, but have in common two by two , the wall intended to be applied against the flaps 12 ', with a transverse fold line 20' formed in this wall between the half-sleeves.
- the mounting of the sleeves and the positioning of the reinforcement blocks 18 ′ are carried out in the same way as in the variant described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, and can be easily carried out by the users. If the pallet box must be delivered to them with its constituent elements pre-assembled, as in the case of the variant described above, it will be necessary, in this case, to provide on the walls adjoining the walls 13 ′ and on the flaps 14 'median fold lines such as 21', allowing the folding in accordion of these walls and these flaps, in order to apply the walls 13 'one against the other, with, in their extension, the flaps 12 '' carrying the pre-assembled sheaths and reinforcement blocks.

Description
La présente invention concerne les emballages du type des caisses-palettes, dans lesquels des fourreaux longitudinaux parallèles, solidaires du fond d'un conteneur en carton, carton ondulé ou similaire, reçoivent des blocs de renfort en un matériau rigide ou semi-rigide, par exemple du polystyrène expansé, pour former une palette sous le conteneur et permettre ainsi de le transporter à l'aide de chariots de manutention à fourche.The present invention relates to packages of the pallet box type, in which parallel longitudinal sleeves, integral with the bottom of a cardboard, corrugated or similar container, receive reinforcement blocks made of a rigid or semi-rigid material, by example of expanded polystyrene, to form a pallet under the container and thus allow it to be transported using forklift trucks.
De très nombreuses variantes de telles caisses-palettes ont déjà été proposées dans la technique, mais elles soulèvent généralement toutes le même genre de problèmes:
- d'une part, la nécessité de réaliser des fourreaux qui soient le moins coûteux possible et, en particulier, s'ils sont en carton, qui consomment le moins possible de matière première, et ce, que ces fourreaux fassent partie intégrante du fond du conteneur ou qu'ils soient rapportés ensuite sur celui-ci ;
- d'autre part, limiter et simplifier les opérations de montage des fourreaux, en particulier lorsque ceux-ci doivent être rapportés et fixés sur le fond du conteneur.
- on the one hand, the need to produce sheaths that are as inexpensive as possible and, in particular, if they are made of cardboard, which consume as little raw material as possible, and this, that these sheaths are an integral part of the bottom of the container or be brought back thereto;
- on the other hand, limit and simplify the assembly operations of the sleeves, in particular when the latter must be attached and fixed to the bottom of the container.
C'est ainsi que DE-A-27 29 265 décrit une caissepalette de ce type comprenant un conteneur dans le fond duquel sont découpées des languettes attenantes à ce fond et disposées dans des positions telles qu'elles puissent obturer au moins partiellement les extrémités desdits fourreaux, lesdites languettes étant repliées à l'intérieur des fourreaux sous la sollicitation des blocs de renfort et étant pincées entre ceux-ci et la partie des fourreaux en contact avec le fond du conteneur.DE-A-27 29 265 describes a pallet box of this type comprising a container in the bottom of which are cut tabs adjoining this bottom and arranged in positions such that they can at least partially close off the ends of said ends. sleeves, said tabs being folded inside the sleeves under the stress of the reinforcement blocks and being pinched between them and the part of the sleeves in contact with the bottom of the container.
La présente invention concerne une caisse- palette de ce type dont le conteneur est une caisse dite "américaine" et dans laquelle, en vue de permettre un pré-assemblage des différents constituants et le pliage à plat de la caisse-palette ainsi pré-assemblée, les fourreaux sont constitués de deux demi-fourreaux, qui, après mise en volume de la caisse-palette, sont disposés bout à bout et solidaires respectivement des volets externes de la caisse par l'intermédiaire desdites languettes, chaque demifourreau recevant un bloc de renfort indépendant.The present invention relates to a pallet box of this type, the container of which is a so-called "American" box and in which, in order to allow pre-assembly of the various components and the flat folding of the pallet box thus pre-assembled , the sleeves consist of two half-sleeves, which, after the pallet box has been placed in volume, are placed end to end and respectively secured to the external flaps of the box via said tabs, each half sheath receiving a block of independent reinforcement.
L'invention a par conséquent pour objet une caisse-palette comprenant un conteneur du type des caisses américaines comportant un fond formé par deux volets externes attenants par une ligne de pliage à deux parois parallèles et doublés éventuellement par deux volets internes attenants aux deux autres parois, des languettes étant découpées dans lesdits volets externes en vue d'être engagées dans les extrémités et/ou des fentes de fourreaux associés, disposés perpendiculairement auxdites parois parallèles, lesdits fourreaux recevant des blocs de renfort en une matière rigide, qui solidarisent lesdits volets externes et lesdits fourreaux par l'intermédiaire desdites languettes, cette caisse-palette étant caractérisée en ce que lesdits fourreaux sont constitués de deux demi-fourreaux indépendants, qui, après mise en volume de la caisse-palette, sont disposés bout à bout et solidaires respectivement desdits volets externes par l'intermédiaire desdites languettes, chaque demi-fourreau recevant un bloc de renfort indépendant, lesdits demifourreaux étant soit indépendants, soit attenants deux à deux par la paroi destinée à être appliquée contre lesdits volets, avec une ligne de pliage transversale ménagée dans ladite paroi entre lesdits demi-fourreaux.The subject of the invention is therefore a pallet box comprising a container of the American box type comprising a bottom formed by two adjoining external flaps by a fold line with two parallel walls and possibly doubled by two internal flaps adjoining the two other walls. , tongues being cut out in said external flaps in order to be engaged in the ends and / or associated sheath slots, arranged perpendicular to said parallel walls, said sheaths receiving reinforcement blocks made of a rigid material, which secure said external flaps and said sleeves by means of said tongues, this pallet box being characterized in that said sleeves consist of two independent half-sleeves, which, after the volume of the pallet box, are placed end to end and secured respectively said external flaps by means of said tabs, each half-sleeve receiving an independent reinforcement block, said half-sleeves being either independent or adjoining two by two by the wall intended to be applied against said flaps, with a transverse fold line formed in said wall between said half-sleeves.
En fin de fabrication de la caisse-palette, chaque demi-fourreau sera ainsi solidaire du volet du fond auquel il est associé grâce au bloc de renfort correspondant et il sera cependant possible de replier à plat la caisse-palette:At the end of manufacture of the pallet box, each half-sheath will thus be secured to the bottom flap with which it is associated thanks to the corresponding reinforcement block and it will however be possible to fold the pallet box flat:
soit de la manière usuelle pour les caisses américaines, c'est-à-dire avec les parois latérales appliquées deux à deux les unes contre les autres, dans le cas où les demi-fourreaux sont indépendants, avec les volets du fond disposés dans le prolongement des parois auxquelles ils sont attenants, les demi-fourreaux et leurs blocs de renfort étant disposés à l'extérieur des volets associés,either in the usual way for American boxes, that is to say with the side walls applied two by two against each other, in the case where the half-sleeves are independent, with the bottom flaps arranged in the extension of the walls to which they are attached, the half-sleeves and their reinforcement blocks being arranged outside the associated flaps,
soit avec les parois opposées auxquelles sont attenants les volets portant les demi-fourreaux appliquées l'une contre l'autre, avec lesdits volets disposés dans leur prolongement, lorsque les demi-fourreaux sont attenants, des lignes de pliage médianes perpendiculaires auxdits blocs de renfort devant, dans ce cas, être prévus dans les deux autres parois et dans les volets attenants, afin de permettre leur pliage en accordéon.either with the opposite walls to which the flaps carrying the half-sleeves applied against each other are adjacent, with said flaps arranged in their extension, when the half-sleeves are adjoining, median fold lines perpendicular to said reinforcement blocks in front, in this case, be provided in the other two walls and in the adjoining shutters, in order to allow them to be folded in accordion.
La caisse-palette pré-assemblée pourra ainsi être stockée, livrée aux utilisateurs et manipulée sous un faible volume et sa mise en volume par les utilisateurs sera aussi simple que celle des caisses américaines usuelles.The pre-assembled pallet box can thus be stored, delivered to users and handled in a small volume and its volume setting by users will be as simple as that of the usual American boxes.
Bien entendu, les caisses-palettes de ce type peuvent aussi être livrées aux utilisateurs non montées, c'est-à-dire avec leurs éléments constitutifs séparés, et, dans ce cas, même si lesdits demi-fourreaux sont attenants deux à deux, il ne sera pas nécessaire de prévoir de lignes de pliage dans les autres parois et dans les volets associés.Of course, pallet boxes of this type can also be delivered to unassembled users, that is to say with their separate components, and, in this case, even if said half-sleeves are attached two by two, it will not be necessary to provide fold lines in the other walls and in the associated shutters.
Suivant les utilisations de la caisse-palette montée, les volets portant les fourreaux pourront être laissés indépendants ou rendus solidaires par collage ou agrafage des volets internes, ou encore être rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre par une bande gommée.Depending on the uses of the pallet box mounted, the flaps carrying the sleeves may be left independent or made integral by gluing or stapling the internal flaps, or even be made integral with one another by a gummed strip.

- La figure 1 est une vue éclatée de la partie de fond d'une caisse-palette selon l'invention, dans laquelle des demi-fourreaux solidaires du fond sont indépendants;
- La figure 2 représente la partie de fond de la caisse de la figure 1 en position d'utilisation;
- La figure 3 illustre le pliage des volets externes du fond de la caisse-palette représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, en vue de la mise à plat de celle-ci;
- Les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues analogues aux figures 1 et 2 d'une autre forme de réalisation;
- La figure 6 illustre le pliage de cette dernière forme de réalisation.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of the bottom part of a pallet box according to the invention, in which half-sleeves integral with the bottom are independent;
- Figure 2 shows the bottom part of the box of Figure 1 in the use position;
- Figure 3 illustrates the folding of the outer flaps of the bottom of the pallet box shown in Figures 1 and 2, for the flattening thereof;
- Figures 4 and 5 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 of another embodiment;
- FIG. 6 illustrates the folding of this latter embodiment.
La caisse-palette 11 représentée sur les figures 1 à 3 est du type des caisses américaines, et son fond est constitué par deux volets externes 12 en carton ondulé ou similaire, attenants à deux parois latérales parallèles 13 et doublés intérieurement par deux volets 14 attenants aux deux autres parois.The
Dans les volets 12 sont découpées, dans le prolongement des parois 13, des languettes 15 et, dans la partie médiane, deux languettes 16, destinées à rendre les volets 12 solidaires respectivement d'un demi-fourreau 17. Les demi-fourreaux solidaires des volets 12 sont indépendants les uns des autres, mais associés deux à deux, dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre, pour former des fourreaux au sens de l'invention.In the
Les demi-fourreaux 17 sont à section carrée, dans le cas présent. Ils peuvent être en carton ondulé ou en toute autre matière semi-rigide. Ils sont destinés à recevoir des blocs de renfort 18, en polystyrène expansé par exemple, de section correspondante.The half-
Les languettes 15, lorsqu'elles sont dans la position représentée sur le dessin, c'est-à-dire dans le prolongement de la paroi 13, viennent se placer sensiblement aux extrémités du fourreau 17, tandis que les languettes 16, lorsqu'elles sont redressées parallèlement aux parois 13, peuvent pénétrer dans des fentes 19, ménagées dans la face du fourreau 17 appelée à être en contact avec les volets 12.The
La mise en place des demi-fourreaux 17 sur les volets 12 associés s'effectue en engageant les languettes 16 dans les fentes 19 et en appliquant les demi-fourreaux contre le fond du conteneur. Il suffit alors d'engager les blocs 18 dans les demi- fourreaux 17, à partir de leur extrémité externe, pour rabattre vers l'intérieur contre la partie du demi-fourreau qui vient en contact avec le fond du conteneur, d'abord les languettes 15, puis les languettes 16, qui sont ainsi pincées entre les blocs 18 et le demi-fourreau. Ces languettes sont donc verrouillées en position et immobilisent par conséquent les demi-fourreaux 17, qui sont ainsi parfaitement solidaires des volets externes 12, sans qu'aucun moyen auxiliaire de fixation ait été utiliséThe establishment of the half-
Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, en position d'utilisation de la caisse-palette, les demi-fourreaux 17 et leurs blocs de renfort 18 sont dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre. Bien entendu, le fond de la caisse-palette est équipé de plusieurs paires de demi-fourreaux et de blocs disposés en parallèle, sur lesquels le conteneur peut prendre appui et qui permettent de la déplacer à l'aide d'un chariot transporteur ou élévateur.As can be seen in FIG. 2, in the position of use of the pallet box, the half-
Les demi-fourreaux 17 et les blocs 18 disposés dans le prolongement les uns des autres sont toutefois indépendants, de sorte qu'il est possible d'amener les volets 12 équipés des demi-fourreaux et de leur bloc de renfort dans le prolongement des parois 13 attenantes, de même que les volets 14 associés aux deux autres parois, pour pouvoir replier à plat la caisse-palette de la manière usuelle pour les caisses américaines.The half-
Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur les figures 4 à 6, où les organes déjà décrits conservent les mêmes chiffres de référence affectés de l'indice ', les demi-fourreaux 17' ne sont plus indépendants, mais ont en commun, deux à deux, la paroi destinée à être appliquée contre les volets 12', avec une ligne de pliage transversale 20' ménagée dans cette paroi entre les demi-fourreaux.In the embodiment represented in FIGS. 4 to 6, in which the members already described retain the same reference numbers assigned to the index ', the half-sleeves 17' are no longer independent, but have in common two by two , the wall intended to be applied against the flaps 12 ', with a transverse fold line 20' formed in this wall between the half-sleeves.
Le montage des fourreaux et la mise en place des blocs de renfort 18' s'effectuent de la même façon que dans la variante décrite en détail en référence aux figures 1 à 3, et pourront être aisément réalisés par les utilisateurs. Si la caisse- palette doit leur être livrée avec ses éléments constitutifs pré-assemblés, comme dans le cas de la variante décrite précédemment, il sera nécessaire, dans ce cas, de prévoir sur les parois attenantes aux parois 13' et sur les volets 14' des lignes de pliage médianes telles que 21', permettant le pliage en accordéon de ces parois et de ces volets, en vue d'appliquer les parois 13' l'une contre l'autre, avec, dans leur prolongement, les volets 12' portant les fourreaux et les blocs de renfort prémontés.The mounting of the sleeves and the positioning of the
On notera la grande simplicité de ces caisses américaines, qui peuvent être assemblées et/ou mises en forme par du personnel non spécialisé sans utiliser quelque outil que ce soit.Note the great simplicity of these American boxes, which can be assembled and / or shaped by non-specialized personnel without using any tool whatsoever.
