Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un emballage composite associant un fond du type barquette, un lien périphérique poignée, et une coiffe,The present invention relates to a composite packaging associating a bottom of the tray type, a peripheral link handle, and a cap,

Les emballages composites à fond du type barquette s'avèrent intéressants car la barquette, en plus de sa fonction de soutien, joue le rôle de conformateur pour le lot de contenants à emballer lors de la phase de concentration et d'individualisation en groupements avant le cerclage et la couverture par la coiffe.Composite packaging with a tray type bottom proves to be interesting because the tray, in addition to its support function, plays the role of conformator for the batch of containers to be wrapped during the phase of concentration and individualization into groups before the strapping and covering by the cap.

Par ailleurs, pour des raisons de coût, on pratique de plus en plus le cerclage du groupement de contenants à l'aide d'un lien. Le lien se trouvant couramment dans le commerce est du type ruban ou feuillard, c'est-à-dire plat. II présente sur ses deux faces un faible relief obtenu par exemple par calandrage lui assurant une meilleure résistance mécanique dans le sens longitudinal et une bonne adhérence d'immobilisation en superposition.Furthermore, for cost reasons, the strapping of the grouping of containers is increasingly practiced using a link. The link commonly found in commerce is of the ribbon or strip type, that is to say flat. It has on its two faces a slight relief obtained for example by calendering ensuring better mechanical resistance in the longitudinal direction and good immobilization adhesion overlay.

Ainsi, un emballage composite à fond, du type barquette avec cerclage du groupement et sa coiffe doit non seulement remplir les conditions et considérations générales ci-dessus, mais en plus, offrir aux consommateurs les garanties concernant plusieurs points fondamentaux tels que la tenue de la poignée formée avec le lien, la cohésion générale du groupement et de l'emballage, les facilités de saisie par le consommateur...Thus, a composite packaging at the bottom, of the tray type with banding of the grouping and its cap must not only fulfill the above conditions and general considerations, but in addition, offer consumers the guarantees concerning several fundamental points such as the holding of the handle formed with the link, the general cohesion of the grouping and packaging, the ease of input by the consumer ...

Si toutes ces conditions sont réunies simultanément dans le cas d'un emballage à fond du type barquette, à coiffe et à cerclage périphérique du lot de contenants, il n'est pas évident que celles-ci soient maintenues dans le cas d'un ceinturage périphérique lâche ou tout autre procédé de ceinturage connu.If all these conditions are met simultaneously in the case of a bottom packaging of the tray type, with cap and peripheral strapping of the batch of containers, it is not obvious that these are maintained in the case of a belt. loose device or any other known belting process.

Précisément, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un emballage à fond du type barquette et coiffe avec un lien périphérique à ceinturage lâche réunissant simultanément toutes ces conditions.Specifically, the purpose of the present invention is to provide bottom packaging of the tray and cap type with a peripheral link with loose belting. meeting all of these conditions simultaneously.

Selon l'invention, la partie du lien périphérique située à l'extrémité de l'emballage est appelée à servir de poignée transformant l'effort de traction lors du port, en force de cohésion du groupement pour éviter tout dommage, la barquette et sa coiffe participant également à la cohésion du groupement lorsque le lien n'est pas sollicité.According to the invention, the part of the peripheral link located at the end of the packaging is intended to serve as a handle transforming the tensile force during wearing, into a cohesive force of the group to avoid any damage, the tray and its cap also participating in the cohesion of the grouping when the link is not requested.

L'invention se rapporte à un emballage composite à fond du type barquette et à lien-poignée dont le port, quel que soit le poids du groupement ne peut désolidariser la poignée du lien, celle-ci étant réalisée par le lien lui-même.The invention relates to a composite packaging with a bottom of the tray type and a link-handle, the port of which, whatever the weight of the group cannot dissociate the handle from the link, the latter being produced by the link itself.

A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un emballage composite à fond du type barquette et à lien périphérique lâche, formant poignée , caractérisé en ce que le ceinturage des contenants est réalisé par un lien périphérique lâche formant poignée en extrémité d'emballage, le lien étant maintenu sur les chants supérieurs des deux faces frontales de la barquette par des ergots de maintien coopérant avec les rabats de face frontale de la coiffe pour former de chaque côté de la face frontale avec lesdits rabats une fente de passage du lien vers l'extérieur pour la constitution d'une poignée.To this end, the invention relates to a composite packaging with a bottom of the tray type and with a loose peripheral link, forming a handle, characterized in that the belting of the containers is produced by a loose peripheral link forming a handle at the end of the packaging, the link being maintained on the upper edges of the two front faces of the tray by retaining lugs cooperating with the flaps on the front face of the cap to form on each side of the front face with said flaps a slot for passage of the link towards the outside for the constitution of a handle.

Les moyens employés procurent à l'invention les avantages suivants :

  • - Constitution d'une poignée de haute résistance à partir d'un lien unique ;
  • - fonctions multiples du lien qui, en plus de son rôle de poignée, contient le groupement de contenants lorsque nécessaire, le carton ne participe donc que très peu à la cohésion du groupement lors du port ;
  • - mécanisation de l'emballage facile à l'aide de machines existantes ;
  • - le lien situé à l'intérieur dégage une surface publicitaire totale sur chaque face latérale de l'emballage sans surfaces raccordées ;
  • - par la juxtaposition, la poignée se met en retrait lors de la palettisation et sort d'elle-même lors de la prise de l'emballage.
  • - le ou les raccordements du lien se trouvent toujours sur le périmètre intérieur laissant la poignée sans aspérités susceptibles de gèner la préhension et le port.
The means employed provide the invention with the following advantages:
  • - Constitution of a high resistance handle from a single link;
  • - multiple functions of the link which, in addition to its role of handle, contains the grouping of containers when necessary, the cardboard therefore participates only very little in the cohesion of the grouping during port;
  • - easy packaging mechanization using existing machines;
  • - the link inside gives off a total advertising surface on each side face of the packaging ge without connected surfaces;
  • - by juxtaposition, the handle is set back during palletization and comes out of itself when the packaging is picked up.
  • - the link (s) of the link are always on the inside perimeter, leaving the handle without roughness likely to interfere with gripping and carrying.

L'idée générale de l'invention consiste à former, sur un emballage composite du type à fond barquette, à partir d'un lien unique de ceinturage, une poignée avec ledit lien, en laissant une certaine aisance pour le passage de la main et constituer ainsi la poignée de préhension de l'emballage.The general idea of the invention consists in forming, on a composite packaging of the type with a tray bottom, from a single belt link, a handle with said link, leaving a certain ease for the passage of the hand and thus constitute the handle for gripping the packaging.

On décrira ci-après l'invention en adoptant le terme général de contenants et le terme particulier de bouteilles. Il est bien entendu que cette formulation couvre tous les types de contenants quelles que soient leurs formes et leur nature, notamment boîtes et contenants à section carrée.The invention will be described below by adopting the general term of containers and the particular term of bottles. It is understood that this formulation covers all types of containers whatever their shapes and nature, in particular boxes and containers with a square section.

L'emballage selon l'invention se compose d'une coiffe 1, d'un fond 2 du type barquette et d'un lien périphérique de maintien 3 par exemple plat et en matière synthétique tel que celui existant dans le commerce actuellement.The packaging according to the invention consists of a cap 1, a bottom 2 of the tray type and a peripheral holding link 3, for example flat and made of synthetic material such as that existing in trade today.

Bien entendu, toute autre forme de lien ou toute autre matière conviennent.Of course, any other form of link or any other matter is suitable.

La boucle du lien est lâche. Sa longueur dépasse le périmètre du groupement de contenants de manière à former en extrémité une flèche suffisante pour constituer une poignée 4.The link loop is loose. Its length exceeds the perimeter of the grouping of containers so as to form at the end an arrow sufficient to constitute a handle 4.

Le fond du type barquette possède des bords longitudinaux 5 et 6 et latéraux avant 7 et arrière 8, formant une bordure de maintien pour le groupement de bouteilles, appelés à être recouverts par les bords inférieurs correspondants de la coiffe.The bottom of the tray type has longitudinal edges 5 and 6 and lateral front 7 and rear 8, forming a retaining edge for the grouping of bottles, called to be covered by the corresponding lower edges of the cap.

Comme indiqué, ce fond joue le rôle de conformateur dans le procédé d'emballage. Il reçoit le groupement de bouteilles et le maintient par sa base, permettant d'en assurer la cohésion jusqu'à la pose du lien puis de la coiffe. II participe bien entendu aussi à cette cohésion lorsque l'emballage est totalement reconstitué.As indicated, this bottom plays the role of conformator in the packaging process. It receives the grouping of bottles and maintains it by its base, making it possible to ensure cohesion until the laying of the link and then of the cap. It naturally also contributes to this cohesion when the packaging is completely re constituted.

Le bord latéral avant 7 du fond présente deux ergots de maintien 9 et 10 faisant saillie verticalement vers le haut de la ligne de chants séparés par une échancrure 11.The front lateral edge 7 of the bottom has two retaining pins 9 and 10 projecting vertically upwards from the edge line separated by a notch 11.

Le bord latéral arrière 8 du fond ne comporte qu'un ergot dit de centrage 12 disposé en partie centrale.The rear lateral edge 8 of the bottom has only one so-called centering lug 12 disposed in the central part.

Les ergots 9, 10 et 12 et les chants supérieurs attenants des bords latéraux 7 et 8 du fond maintiennent le lien 4 en position de ceinturage c'est-à-dire le plan du lien en présentation verticale comme représenté en figures 1 et 2.The pins 9, 10 and 12 and the adjoining upper edges of the lateral edges 7 and 8 of the bottom hold the link 4 in the belt position, that is to say the plane of the link in vertical presentation as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

La coiffe est réalisée en matériau plan rigide ou semi-rigide. Elle affecte une forme générale parallélépipédique à face supérieure 13 pourvue par exemple de trappes d'accès prédécoupées 14 et 15 et de deux faces latérales 16 et 17. Les extrémités avant et arrière se composent d'un panneau de fermeture respectivement 18 et 19 et de rabats latéraux de face avant 20 et 21 et de face arrière 22 et 23.The cap is made of rigid or semi-rigid planar material. It has a general parallelepiped shape with an upper face 13 provided for example with precut access hatches 14 and 15 and two lateral faces 16 and 17. The front and rear ends consist of a closure panel 18 and 19 respectively and side flaps on the front face 20 and 21 and on the rear face 22 and 23.

Les rabats de face arrière 22 et 23 sont de forme légèrement trapézoïdale et destinés uniquement à améliorer la rigidité de la face arrière obturée par le panneau arrière de fermeture 19.The rear face flaps 22 and 23 are of slightly trapezoidal shape and intended only to improve the rigidity of the rear face closed by the rear closure panel 19.

Les rabats de face avant 20 et 21 sont d'une longueur telle que leur longueur cumulée est inférieure à celle du panneau 18 de face avant. Plus particulièrement, leur longueur est réduite de façon qu'ils laissent libre à l'état rabatus la surface en regard de l'évidement 11. Ils présentent en partie inférieure une découpe rectangulaire en retrait constituant un évidement 24 ou 25 de formé et de dimensions rigoureusement identiques aux ergots de maintien 9 ou 10 correspondants.The front face flaps 20 and 21 are of a length such that their cumulative length is less than that of the front face panel 18. More particularly, their length is reduced so that they leave the surface facing the recess 11 free in the folded state. They have a recessed rectangular cutout in the lower part constituting a recess 24 or 25 of shape and dimensions strictly identical to the corresponding holding pins 9 or 10.

Le bord inférieur 26 ou 27 de chacun des rabats de face avant 20 ou 21 présente une découpe reproduisant rigoureusement la forme en créneau de la partie en regard du bord latéral avant 7 du fond, de manière à former, lors de la fermeture, un pan quasi continu qui sera recouvert par le panneau de fermeture de face avant 18.The lower edge 26 or 27 of each of the front face flaps 20 or 21 has a cutout rigorously reproducing the square shape of the part opposite the front lateral edge 7 of the bottom, so as to form, when closing, an almost continuous section which will be covered by the front face closure panel 18.

Le bord transversal 28 ou 29 de chaque rabat correspond approximativement au bord vertical en regard 30 ou 31 de chaque ergot de maintien 9 ou 10. II existe cependant un léger décalage transversal entre ces deux bords qui définit une fente étroite 32 ou 33 pour le passage du lien vers l'intérieur de l'emballage.The transverse edge 28 or 29 of each flap corresponds approximately to the opposite vertical edge 30 or 31 of each retaining lug 9 or 10. However, there is a slight transverse offset between these two edges which defines a narrow slot 32 or 33 for the passage the link to the inside of the package.

Le panneau de fermeture 18 de la face avant n'est pas obscur comme son homologue 19 de face arrière. Il comporte une ouverture médiane allongée 34 formée d'une fente 35 présentant un agrandissement transversal du passage par une découpe centrale 36 en vue du passage de la main.The closure panel 18 of the front face is not obscure like its counterpart 19 on the rear face. It has an elongated middle opening 34 formed by a slot 35 having a transverse enlargement of the passage by a central cutout 36 for the passage of the hand.

En position fermée, l'ouverture 34 correspond exactement à la position du lien qui, lorsque ladite ouverture est dégagée, fait saillie à l'extrérieur par le faible effet de poussée résultant de sa conformation en boucle imposée par la forme générale du périmètre du groupement et par le contact et le guidage apportés par les fentes 32 et 33.In the closed position, the opening 34 corresponds exactly to the position of the link which, when the said opening is released, protrudes outside by the slight pushing effect resulting from its loop conformation imposed by the general shape of the perimeter of the grouping. and by the contact and the guidance provided by the slots 32 and 33.

Dans une version préférée, les bords 26 et 27 des rabats de face avant correspondent exactement aux bords supérieurs correspondants de l'ouverture 34.In a preferred version, the edges 26 and 27 of the front face flaps correspond exactly to the corresponding upper edges of the opening 34.

Par ailleurs, les rabats de face avant dégagent un espace suffisant entre eux lorsque rabattus, pour laisser libre le passage au droit de l'ouverture 36 en vue du passage des doigts derrière le lien.Furthermore, the front flaps give off sufficient space between them when folded down, to allow free passage to the right of the opening 36 for the passage of the fingers behind the link.

Les figures 6, 7 et 8 illustrent les principales positions et formes de la boucle du lien constituant la poignée à travers l'ouverture 34.FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 illustrate the main positions and shapes of the loop of the link constituting the handle through the opening 34.

En position de stockage, de transport ou de présentation à la vente, le lien reste en retrait dans l'ouverture 34 par le contact de poussée de la face arrière de l'emballage voisin dans l'alignement.In the storage, transport or presentation for sale position, the link remains recessed in the opening 34 by the push contact of the face back of neighboring packaging in line.

Si la largeur des fentes 32 et 33 et le recouvrement par le panneau de face avant laissent le lien à coulissement libre dans lesdites fentes, le lien prendra une forme et une position telles que représentées en figure 6.If the width of the slots 32 and 33 and the overlap by the front panel leave the link to slide freely in said slots, the link will take a shape and a position as shown in FIG. 6.

Inversement, si les fentes 32 et 33 provoquent un certain pincement, le lien ne pourra que se replier sur lui-même, à l'intérieur de la fente 34, comme le montre la figure 7.Conversely, if the slots 32 and 33 cause a certain pinching, the link can only fold back on itself, inside the slot 34, as shown in FIG. 7.

Bien entendu, toutes les positions et formes intermédiaires s'avèrent possibles en fonction de l'effet recherché.Of course, all the intermediate positions and shapes are possible depending on the desired effect.

Lorque l'emballage est dégagé par le consommateur, le lien sort automatiquement de la fente par un effet élastique résultant de sa courbure initiale.When the packaging is released by the consumer, the link automatically leaves the slot by an elastic effect resulting from its initial curvature.

La présente invention ne s'applique pas uniquement aux formes de coiffe parallélépipédiques, mais aussi à pans coupés 37 et 38 avec ou sans coins coupés 39 et 40 comme le montrent les figures 13 et 14.The present invention does not only apply to rectangular cap shapes, but also to cut sides 37 and 38 with or without cut corners 39 and 40 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.

On décrira ci-après les différentes phases du procédé de confection de l'emballage selon l'invention.The various phases of the process for making the packaging according to the invention will be described below.

L'invention se rapporte également au procédé de mise en forme de l'emballage dont l'idée générale consiste à se servir de la barquette comme conformateur du lot ou du groupement de contenants afin de permettre sa formation puis la pose aisée du lien par ceinturage lâche autour dudit lot ou groupement, le fond et les bords de la barquette procurant la stabilité et la cohésion nécessaires au groupement.The invention also relates to the method of shaping the packaging, the general idea of which consists in using the tray as a conformator for the batch or grouping of containers in order to allow its formation then the easy laying of the link by belting. loose around said batch or grouping, the bottom and edges of the tray providing the stability and cohesion necessary for grouping.

Plus précisément, le procédé consiste à former un groupement ou lot de contenants, de l'amener sur la zone centrale d'une barquette à bords relevables, de relever les bords autour du groupement et de les solidariser entre eux afin de constituer une bordure ajustée aux dimensions du groupement des contenants, bordure formant un véritable rempart pour les unités du groupement, réalisant ainsi sa cohésion. Ledit groupement homogène et compact se prête facilement au ceinturage par un lien plan en gardant sa cohésion initiale tout au long de ces opérations de ceinturage.More specifically, the method consists in forming a group or batch of containers, bringing it to the central zone of a tray with liftable edges, raising the edges around the group and joining them together in order to constitute a fitted border. the dimensions of the grouping of containers, border forming a real bulwark for the units of the grouping, thus achieving its cohesion. Said homogeneous and compact grouping lends itself easily to the belting by a planar link while keeping its initial cohesion throughout these belting operations.

A titre de variante, on peut constituer la bordure ajustée aux dimensions des contenants avant l'introduction du groupement dans l'espace délimité par ladite bordure à l'aide de moyens de mécanisation appropriés. La bordure joue le même rôle dans ce cas de maintien du groupement lors des opérations de ceinturage. On utilise ainsi également la barquette comme conformateur.As a variant, the border can be formed which is adjusted to the dimensions of the containers before the grouping is introduced into the space delimited by said border using suitable mechanization means. The border plays the same role in this case of maintaining the grouping during the belt operations. The tray is thus also used as a conformator.

On termine les opérations d'emballage par la pose de la coiffe dont les bords des panneaux latéraux viennent se solidariser aux bords relevés de la barquette par la fermeture de la face arrière et par le collage du panneau de fermeture de face avant.The packaging operations are completed by fitting the cap, the edges of the side panels of which are joined to the raised edges of the tray by closing the rear face and by bonding the front face closure panel.

On assiste, au cours de cette dernière opération, à une superposition et coïncidence parfaites des bords supérieurs de la fente 34 avec les bords inférieurs des rabats 20 et 21 de face avant. La solidité de la face avant est ainsi assurée.During this last operation, there is a perfect superimposition and coincidence of the upper edges of the slot 34 with the lower edges of the front flaps 20 and 21. The solidity of the front face is thus ensured.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite à propos de plusieurs formes de réalisations particulières, il est bien entendu qu'elle ne saurait s'y limiter mais qu'au contraire toute variante directe, modification d'ordre secondaire, substitution et adjonction sans apport inventif entrent parfaitement dans son cadre.Although the invention has been described in connection with several particular embodiments, it is understood that it cannot be limited thereto but, on the contrary, any direct variant, secondary modification, substitution and addition without addition inventive fit perfectly into its framework.
