Abstract

This one-piece packaging is made from a blank of foldable material and includes a top wall whose width is less than the width of the bottom wall, and is not greater than half the maximum transverse dimension of the articles. This width may, in the limit, be zero. As a result: at least a portion of the height of the front wall is sloping; the windows cut out in the front wall which have bottom portions that are narrower than the maximum transverse dimension of the bottom regions of the articles in order to retain the articles in the packaging also have top portions whose width is equal to the maximum transverse dimension of the top regions of the articles so that said top regions of the articles project as much as possible from said packaging; and the side end faces of the packaging which are optionally closed by walls are at least partially trapezoidal, and in said limit are at least partially triangular when said top wall is of zero width.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un emballage-présentoir pour plusieurs verres à boire ou arti- des similaires (vases, flacons etc.) alignés, cet emballage étant réalisé d'une seule pièce à partir d'un flan en une matière pliable, qui est découpé et plié de manière appropriée.The present invention relates to a display packaging for several drinking glasses or similar items (vases, flasks, etc.) aligned, this packaging being produced in one piece from a blank of a foldable material, which is cut and folded appropriately.

Le nombre d'articles alignés peut être compris entre deux et douze, ceci n'étant aucunement limitatif d'ailleurs, en fonctions des dimensions de l'article (verre à orangeade ou verre à liqueur par exemple) et de l'usage auquel il est destiné (verre à boire ou vase à fleurs par exemple).The number of aligned articles can be between two and twelve, this being in no way limiting, depending on the dimensions of the article (orangeade glass or shot glass for example) and the use for which it is intended (drinking glass or flower vase for example).

La matière pliable peut être une feuille de carton, de carton plastifié ou de matière plastique semi-rigide et elle doit pouvoir être imprimée par tous types d'impression : offset, flexographie etc., à des fins commerciales.The foldable material can be a sheet of cardboard, plasticized cardboard or semi-rigid plastic and it must be capable of being printed by all types of printing: offset, flexography etc., for commercial purposes.

On connaît déjà un emballage-présentoir pour articles alignés tels que des verres à boire; cet emballage comprend une paroi arrière ayant la hauteur de l'article, une paroi avant de même hauteur, disposée parallèlement à la paroi arrière et dans laquelle une fenêtre est découpée en face de chaque article, la largeur de cette fenêtre étant inférieure à la dimension transversale maximale de la région basse de l'article pour retenir celui-ci dans l'emballage, une paroi de dessus reliant les parois arrière et avant et une double paroi de dessous, constituée par des prolongements repliés l'un au-dessous de l'autre de la paroi avant et de la paroi arrière, ces prolongements étant maintenus assemblés par des pattes de verrouillage découpées dans l'un et enfoncées dans des ouvertures en regard pratiquées dans l'autre, la largeur, identique, de la paroi de dessus et de la double paroi de dessous étant inférieure à la dimension transversale maximale de l'article, mais supérieure à cette demi-dimension, pour que l'article déborde un peu seulement la fenêtre correspondante afin d'être partiellement visi ble; en avant des fenêtres de la paroi avant, les parois de dessus et de dessous peuvent présenter un bord en saillie pour que le haut de l'article et sa base soient entièrement couverts.There is already known a display package for aligned items such as drinking glasses; this packaging includes a rear wall having the height of the article, a front wall of the same height, arranged parallel to the rear wall and in which a window is cut in front of each article, the width of this window being less than the dimension maximum transverse of the lower region of the article to retain it in the packaging, a top wall connecting the rear and front walls and a double bottom wall, consisting of extensions folded one below the other of the front wall and the rear wall, these extensions being kept assembled by locking tabs cut in one and pressed into facing openings made in the other, the width, identical, of the top wall and the double bottom wall being less than the maximum transverse dimension of the article, but greater than this half-dimension, so that the article protrudes only slightly the corresponding window in order to be p artificially visible; in front of the windows of the front wall, the top and bottom walls may have a projecting edge so that the top of the article and its base are completely covered.

GB-A 830 200 décrit des emballages de ce type dans lesquels les fenêtres découpées ont dans leur partie basse une largeur inférieure à la dimension transversale maximale de la région basse des arti- des, pour retenir ceux-ci dans l'emballage.GB-A 830 200 describes packages of this type in which the cut windows have in their lower part a width less than the maximum transverse dimension of the bottom region of the articles, to retain these in the packaging.

La présente invention a pour objet un emballage-présentoir de ce type, mais qui est perfectionné dans le but de mieux mettre en valeur les articles.The present invention relates to a display packaging of this type, but which is improved in order to better highlight the articles.

A cet effet, le présent emballage-présentoir pour plusieurs verres à boire ou articles similaires alignés, emballage réalisé d'une seule pièce à partir d'un flan en une matière pliable, qui est découpé et pourvu de lignes de pliage, qui y délimitent deux panneaux rectangulaires destinés à devenir les parois arrière et avant de l'emballage, la paroi arrière devant avoir une hauteur égale à celle des articles, une bande rectangulaire de liaison de ces panneaux, destinée à former la paroi de dessus de l'emballage, et deux bandes rectangulaires prolongeant les deux panneaux au-delà des côtés de ceux-ci opposés à ladite bande de liaison, ces deux bandes rectangulaires étant destinées, lors de la mise en forme de l'emballage par pliage autour des lignes de pliage, à être superposées et maintenues assemblées pour constituer la paroi de dessous de l'emballage d'une largeur au plus égale à la dimension transversale maximale de la base de l'article, la paroi de dessous et la paroi de dessus devant être disposées sensiblement perpendiculairement à la paroi arrière après mise en forme de l'emballage, et des fenêtres en nombre égal à celui des articles étant découpées dans le panneau formant la paroi avant de l'emballage, ces fenêtres s'étendant jusqu'à ladite bande de liaison formant la paroi de dessus et ayant dans leur partie basse une largeur inférieure à la dimension transversale maximale de la région basse des articles, pour retenir ceux-ci dans l'emballage, est caractérisé en ce que la paroi de dessus a une largeur inférieure à celle de la paroi de dessous, au plus égale à la demi-dimension transversale maximale des articles et pouvant être nulle à la limite, en ce que, de ce fait, le panneau formant la paroi avant est incliné, au moins sur une partie de sa hauteur, par rapport à la direction perpendiculaire aux parois de dessous et de dessus et a une hauteur supérieure à celle des articles pour que la paroi de dessous reste sensiblement perpendiculaire à la paroi arrière, en ce que, également de ce fait, les fenêtres découpées dans la paroi avant ont dans leur partie haute une largeur égale à la dimension transversale maximale de la région haute des articles, pour que cette région saille au maximum de l'emballage, et en ce que, toujours de ce fait, les faces latérales en bout de l'emballage mis en forme sont, au moins en partie, trapézoïdales et à la limite, lorsque la paroi de dessus a une largeur nulle, triangulaires.For this purpose, the present display packaging for several drinking glasses or similar items aligned, packaging made in one piece from a blank of a pliable material, which is cut and provided with fold lines, which delimit therein. two rectangular panels intended to become the rear and front walls of the packaging, the rear wall having to have a height equal to that of the articles, a rectangular strip for connecting these panels, intended to form the top wall of the packaging, and two rectangular strips extending the two panels beyond the sides thereof opposite said connecting strip, these two rectangular strips being intended, when the packaging is shaped by folding around the fold lines, to be superimposed and held together to form the bottom wall of the package, at most equal to the maximum transverse dimension of the base of the article, the bottom wall and the top wall must be nt be arranged substantially perpendicular to the rear wall after shaping the packaging, and windows in number equal to that of the articles being cut from the panel forming the front wall of the packaging, these windows extending up to said connecting strip forming the top wall and having in their lower part a width less than the maximum transverse dimension of the bottom region of the articles, for retaining them in the packaging, is characterized in that the top wall has a width less than that of the bottom wall, at most equal to the maximum transverse half-dimension of the articles and possibly being zero at the limit, in that, therefore, the panel forming the front wall is inclined, at least over part of its height, relative to the direction perpendicular to the bottom and top walls and has a height greater than that of the articles so that the bottom wall remains substantially perpendicular to the rear wall , in that, also therefore, the windows cut in the front wall have in their upper part a width equal to the maximum transverse dimension of the upper region of the articles, so that this region protrudes as far as possible from the packaging, and in that, still therefore, the lateral faces at the end of the shaped package are, at least in part, trapezoidal and, at the limit, when the top wall has zero width, triangular.

Avec cette structure de l'emballage, les articles, tout en étant parfaitement retenus, sont dégagés en très grande partie de l'emballage sur la face avant de celui-ci, ce qui permet à l'acheteur éventuel de saisir et palper l'article, de bien voir son profil ainsi que la forme et l'épaisseur du "buvant" dans le cas des verres à boire (le buvant étant la région haute du verre par laquelle on boit). Les articles sont ainsi beaucoup plus attractifs, ce qui favorise leur vente. Dans l'emballage-présentoir antérieur, les arti- des étaient bien davantage emprisonnés, leur forme apparaissait moins nettement et il était beaucoup plus difficiles de juger de l'épaisseur de leur paroi.With this structure of the packaging, the articles, while being perfectly retained, are released for the most part from the packaging on the front face thereof, which allows the prospective buyer to grasp and palpate the article, to see its profile as well as the shape and thickness of the "drink" in the case of drinking glasses (the drinking is the upper region of the glass through which one drinks). The articles are thus much more attractive, which promotes their sale. In the anterior display package, the articles were much more trapped, their shape appeared less clearly and it was much more difficult to judge the thickness of their wall.

La visibilité peut être encore augmentée par des découpes dans la paroi arrière de l'emballage.Visibility can be further increased by cutouts in the rear wall of the package.

Une ligne de pliage intermédiaire, parallèle aux parois de dessous et de dessus, peut être prévue sur la paroi avant de l'emballage; elle permet de donner une inclinaison différente aux parties haute et basse de la paroi avant qu'elle délimite.An intermediate fold line, parallel to the bottom and top walls, can be provided on the front wall of the package; it makes it possible to give a different inclination to the upper and lower parts of the wall before it delimits.

De préférence, la paroi de dessous présente, en avant de chaque fenêtre de la paroi avant, un bord en saillie pour que la base des articles soit entièrement couverte par l'emballage, et les deux bandes rectangulaires superposées constituant la paroi de dessous sont maintenues assemblées par des pattes de verrouillage découpées dans l'une et des ouvertures en regard pratiquées dans l'autre et dans lesquelles lesdites pattes sont enfoncées, ces moyens de verrouillage étant prévus entre les articles, dont en face des portions de la paroi avant situées entre les fenêtres de celle-ci.Preferably, the bottom wall has, in front of each window of the front wall, a projecting edge so that the base of the articles is entirely covered by the packaging, and the two superimposed rectangular strips constituting the bottom wall are maintained assembled by locking tabs cut in one and facing openings made in the other, and in which said tabs are inserted, these locking means being provided between the articles, including opposite portions of the front wall located between the windows thereof.

L'emballage-présentoir peut comprendre deux parois latérales en bout, constituées par deux rabats prolongeant longitudinalement les côtés de la paroi avant ou arrière au-delà de lignes de pliage et comportant chacun au moins une patte de verrouillage s'insérant, après pliage suivant une ligne de pliage, à l'intérieur de l'emballage contre l'une au moins des parois arrière ou avant. Ces parois latérales renforcent et protègent les extrémités de l'emballage dans le sens longitudinal et déterminent bien son volume dans sa présentation finale.The display packaging may include two end side walls, constituted by two flaps extending longitudinally the sides of the front or rear wall beyond fold lines and each comprising at least one locking tab which can be inserted after following folding a fold line, inside the packaging against at least one of the rear or front walls. These side walls strengthen and protect the ends of the packaging in the longitudinal direction and determine its volume in its final presentation.

L'emballage-présentoir peut aussi être pourvu de pattes prolongeant à leurs deux extrémités les parois de dessous et de dessus et repliables perpendiculairement à ces parois et vers l'intérieur de l'emballage, pour consolider à leurs extrémités hautes et basses les parois latérales en bout et maintenir l'écartement entre les parois arrière et avant.The display package can also be provided with tabs extending the bottom and top walls at their two ends and foldable perpendicular to these walls and towards the inside of the package, to consolidate the side walls at their high and low ends. at the end and maintain the distance between the rear and front walls.

Cet emballage d'une seule pièce peut être entièrement mis en forme autour des articles et verrouillé, manuellement, sans aucun collage. Cette mise en forme peut aussi être effectuée mécaniquement, sans collage, ou avec collage; dans ce dernier cas, certaines au moins des pattes de verrouillage peuvent être supprimées. Dans le suremballage (boîte ou caisse) d'expédition et de stockage des emballages garnis d'articles, aucune protection supplémentaire n'est nécessaire; en particulier, l'adjonction de plaques de protection est inutile.This one-piece package can be fully shaped around the items and locked, manually, without any bonding. This shaping can also be carried out mechanically, without bonding, or with bonding; in the latter case, at least some of the locking tabs can be omitted. In the overpack (box or case) for shipping and storing packages filled with items, no additional protection is necessary; in particular, the addition of protective plates is unnecessary.

Une forme particulière d'exécution de l'emballage-présentoir suivant l'invention va être décrite ci-après, à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en plan du flan en une matière pliable, du carton par exemple, à partir duquel l'emballage-présentoir peut être formé.
  • Les figures 2, 3 et 4 sont des vues en perspective, à plus petite échelle, illustrant la mise en forme de l'emballage autour des articles à emballer, la figure 4 montrant l'emballage-présentoir garni d'articles, finalement obtenu.
  • La figure 5 est une vue de côté de cet emballage-présentoir.
A particular embodiment of the display packaging according to the invention will be described below, by way of purely indicative and in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank in a foldable material, cardboard for example, from which the display package can be formed.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 are perspective views, on a smaller scale, illustrating the shaping of the packaging around the articles to be packaged, Figure 4 showing the display package filled with articles, finally obtained.
  • Figure 5 is a side view of this display package.

Sur le flan de carton montré à la figure 1, en une seule pièce et convenablement découpé, les lignes de pliage sont représentées en tirets.On the cardboard blank shown in Figure 1, in one piece and suitably cut, the fold lines are shown in dashes.

Toutes les découpes ont été réalisées au moyen d'un couteau appelé coupeur et les lignes de pliage ont été marquées au moyen d'un couteau appelé re- fouleur.All cuts were made using a knife called a cutter and the fold lines were marked using a knife called a repressor.

Le flan de carton comprend un panneau rectangulaire 1, qui sera la paroi arrière de l'emballage et dont la largeur, qui deviendra la hauteur de cette paroi, est égale à la hauteur des articles à emballer, un panneau rectangulaire 2a-2b, qui sera la paroi avant de l'emballage et dont la largeur est un peu supérieure à celle du panneau 1, une bande rectangulaire 3 reliant les panneaux 1 et 2g-2Q et délimitée par des lignes de pliage 4 et 5, cette bande étant destinée à former la paroi de dessus de l'emballage, tandis que la paroi de dessous de celui-ci sera formée par deux bandes rectangulaires 6 et 7 prolongeant respectivement le panneau 1 et le panneau 2a-2b, au-delà de lignes de pliage respectivement 8 et 9.The cardboard blank comprises a rectangular panel 1, which will be the rear wall of the package and whose width, which will become the height of this wall, is equal to the height of the articles to be packaged, a rectangular panel 2a-2b, which will be the front wall of the packaging and whose width is slightly greater than that of the panel 1, a rectangular strip 3 connecting the panels 1 and 2g-2Q and delimited by fold lines 4 and 5, this strip being intended to form the top wall of the package, while the bottom wall of the latter will be formed by two rectangular strips 6 and 7 respectively extending the panel 1 and the panel 2a-2b, beyond fold lines respectively 8 and 9.

Dans le panneau 2_a-2b sont découpées des fenêtres 10 en nombre égal à celui des articles à emballer. Dans le cas particulier considéré, ces fenêtres s'évasent en direction de la bande rectangulaire 3, qui sera la paroi de dessus de l'emballage. Les bandes rectangulaires 6 et 7, qui formeront la paroi de dessous de l'emballage, ont une largeur nettement supérieure à celle de la bande rectangulaire 3, qui en sera la paroi de dessus. Dans la bande 7 sont découpées des pattes de verrouillage 11, susceptibles de pivoter autour de lignes de pliage 12 et, dans la bande rectangulaire 6, sont pratiquées des ouvertures coopérantes 13; les pattes de verrouillage 11 de la paroi de dessous sont placées en face des portions du panneau 2a-2b situées entre les fenêtres 10. La bande rectangulaire 7 présente un prolongement 14, en l'occurrence en forme de segment de cercle, en regard de chaque fenêtre 10 et la bande rectangulaire 6 présente des prolongements correspondants et de même forme 15. Les bandes rectangulaires 6 et 7 sont de même largeur et elles sont destinées, lorsque l'emballage sera mis en forme, à être exactement superposées pour former une double paroi de dessous de l'emballage, la bande 7 étant placée sous la bande 6, pour que soit possible l'enfoncement des pattes de verrouillage 12 dans les ouvertures 13. Une ligne de pliage intermédiaire 28 est prévue sur le paneau rectangulaire 2a-2b, cette ligne séparant les régions basses et hautes, respectivement 2a et 2b, de ce panneau.In the panel 2_a-2b are cut windows 10 in number equal to that of the articles to be packaged. In the particular case under consideration, these windows widen in the direction of the rectangular strip 3, which will be the top wall of the packaging. The rectangular strips 6 and 7, which will form the bottom wall of the package, have a width significantly greater than that of the rectangular strip 3, which will be the top wall. In the strip 7 are cut locking tabs 11 capable of pivoting around fold lines 12 and, in the rectangular strip 6, cooperating openings 13 are formed; the locking tabs 11 of the bottom wall are placed opposite the portions of the panel 2a-2b located between the windows 10. The rectangular strip 7 has an extension 14, in this case in the form of a segment of a circle, opposite each window 10 and the rectangular strip 6 has corresponding extensions and of the same shape 15. The rectangular strips 6 and 7 are of the same width and are intended, when the packaging is shaped, to be exactly superimposed to form a double bottom wall of the packaging, the strip 7 being placed under the strip 6, so that the locking tabs 12 can be pushed into the openings 13. An intermediate fold line 28 is provided on the rectangular panel 2a-2b , this line separating the low and high regions, respectively 2a and 2b, of this panel.

Le panneau rectangulaire 2a-2b est prolongé dans le sens longitudinal par deux rabats 16, chacun au-delà d'une ligne de pliage 17 et d'une ligne de coupe 18. Chaque rabat 16 est pourvu d'une patte de verrouillage principale 19 au-delà d'une ligne de pliage 20, et d'une patte de verrouillage auxiliaire 21 au-delà d'une ligne de pliage 22. Les deux rabats 16 formeront les deux parois latérales en bout de l'emballage mis en forme. La bande rectangulaire étroite de liaison 3,qui formera la paroi de dessus de l'emballage, est prolongée à ses deux extrémités, au-delà de lignes de pliage 23,par deux pattes 24 de consolidation desdites parois latérales en bout et la bande rectangulaire 6 contribuant à la constitution de la paroi de dessous est, elle aussi, prolongée,au-delà de lignes de pliage 25, à ses deux extrémités, par deux pattes 26 de consolidation desdites parois laté- rates en bout.The rectangular panel 2a-2b is extended longitudinally by two flaps 16, each beyond a fold line 17 and a cutting line 18. Each flap 16 is provided with a main locking tab 19 beyond a fold line 20, and an auxiliary locking tab 21 beyond a fold line 22. The two flaps 16 will form the two side walls at the end of the shaped package. The narrow rectangular connecting strip 3, which will form the top wall of the package, is extended at its two ends, beyond fold lines 23, by two tabs 24 for consolidating said end side walls and the rectangular strip 6 contributing to the constitution of the bottom wall is also extended, beyond fold lines 25, at its two ends, by two tabs 26 for consolidating said lateral walls at the end.

Les fenêtres 10 ont, dans leur partie basse voisine de la bande rectangulaire 7, une largeur inférieure à la dimension transfersale maximale de la région basse des articles 27 (des verres à boire), représentés sur les figures 2 à 5, et,dans leur partie haute voisine de la bande rectangulaire de liaison 3, une largeur égale à la dimension transversale maximale de la région haute desdits articles. Les bandes rectangulaires 6 et 7, qui formeront la paroi de dessous, ont une largeur inférieure à la dimension transversale maximale de la base des verres 27, sauf dans la région de leurs prolongements 14 et 15, où elles ont une largeur égale à cette dimension. Quant à la bande rectangulaire de liaison 3, qui sera la paroi de dessus, elle a une largeur inférieure à la demi-dimension transversale maximale des verres 27.The windows 10 have, in their lower part close to the rectangular strip 7, a width less than the maximum transfer dimension of the lower region of the articles 27 (drinking glasses), represented in FIGS. 2 to 5, and, in their upper part adjacent to the rectangular connecting strip 3, a width equal to the maximum transverse dimension of the upper region of said articles. The rectangular strips 6 and 7, which will form the bottom wall, have a width less than the dimension maximum transverse of the base of the glasses 27, except in the region of their extensions 14 and 15, where they have a width equal to this dimension. As for the rectangular connecting strip 3, which will be the top wall, it has a width less than the maximum transverse half-dimension of the glasses 27.

La mise en forme de l'emballage,avec, simultanément, l'emballage des verres 27, est montrée aux figures 2 à 4.The shaping of the packaging, with, simultaneously, the packaging of the glasses 27, is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

Le flan de carton tel que représenté à la figure 1 est d'abord précassé suivant ses lignes de pliage. Les verres 27 sont ensuite posés retournés sur ce flan, de telle sorte que leur buvant soit situé sur la bande rectangulaire de liaison 3 et sur la partie haute des fenêtres 10, puis le panneau 1 est relevé par derrière verticalement contre les verres et la bande rectangulaire 6 est rabattue perpendiculairement vers l'avant sur le fond des verres (figure 2). Ensuite, le panneau 2a-2b est redressé par devant contre les verres, la bande rectangulaire 7 est abaissée vers l'arrière pour venir s'appliquer sur la bande rectangulaire 6 et les pattes de verrouillage 11 sont enfoncées dans les ouvertures 13. Les parois de dessus 3,arrière 1, de dessous 6,7 et avant 2a,2b de l'emballage sont ainsi constituées et emprisonnent les verres, dont les fonds sont recouverts complètement du fait de la présence desdits prolongements 14 et 15.The cardboard blank as shown in Figure 1 is first crushed along its fold lines. The glasses 27 are then placed inverted on this blank, so that their rim is located on the rectangular connecting strip 3 and on the upper part of the windows 10, then the panel 1 is raised vertically from behind against the glasses and the strip. rectangular 6 is folded perpendicularly forward on the bottom of the glasses (Figure 2). Then, the panel 2a-2b is straightened from the front against the glasses, the rectangular strip 7 is lowered backwards to come to bear on the rectangular strip 6 and the locking tabs 11 are pressed into the openings 13. The walls from above 3, rear 1, from below 6.7 and before 2a, 2b of the packaging are thus formed and trap the glasses, the bottoms of which are completely covered due to the presence of said extensions 14 and 15.

L'emballage-présentoir peut alors être retourné (figure 3). On voit que la paroi avant est,dans le cas particulier choisi, perpendiculaire à la paroi de dessous dans sa région inférieure 2p et inclinée sur la verticale et vers la paroi arrière 1 dans sa région supérieure 2b; dans cette région, les verres 27 sont presque totalement dégagés de l'emballage, alors qu'ils sont retenus dans celui-ci au niveau de la région inférieure 2a de la paroi avant, du fait de la différence de largeur des fenêtres 10 dans lesdites régions 2Lb et 2a. La paroi avant pourrait être uniformément inclinée sur la verticale, de sa base à son sommet, ou bien sa région 2g pourrait être inclinée sur la verticale et sa région 2b perpendiculaire aux parois de dessous et de dessus. De plus, la paroi de dessus 3 pourrait avoir une largeur nulle, ce qui dégagerait totalement de l'emballage la région supérieure des verres 27.The display packaging can then be turned over (Figure 3). It can be seen that the front wall is, in the particular case chosen, perpendicular to the bottom wall in its lower region 2p and inclined towards the vertical and towards the rear wall 1 in its upper region 2b; in this region, the glasses 27 are almost completely disengaged from the packaging, while they are retained therein at the level of the lower region 2a of the front wall, due to the difference in width of the windows 10 in said said regions 2Lb and 2a. The front wall could be uniformly inclined on the vertical, from its base to its top, or else its region 2g could be inclined on the vertical and its region 2b perpendicular to the bottom and top walls. In addition, the top wall 3 could have a zero width, which would completely free the upper region of the glasses 27 from the packaging.

Les prolongements 14 et 15 des bandes rectangulaires 6 et 7 formant la double paroi de dessous ont un bord de forme circulaire, parce que les verres 27 ont une section circulaire; ils auraient un bord de forme polygonale, si les verres avaient une section polygonale.The extensions 14 and 15 of the rectangular strips 6 and 7 forming the double bottom wall have a circular edge, because the glasses 27 have a circular section; they would have a polygonal edge, if the glasses had a polygonal section.

A la figure 4, l'emballage a son aspect finale; ses parois latérales en bout ont été formées par pliage respectivement vers le bas et vers le haut des pattes latérales de consolidation 24 et 26, qui maintiennent l'écartement entre les parois avant et arrière, par engagement des pattes de verrouillage auxiliaires 21 derrière la région haute 2b de la paroi avant, avec repli simultané sur les côtés et vers la paroi arrière 1 des rabats 16, enfin par insertion des pattes de verrouillage principales 19 dans l'emballage, contre la face interne de la paroi arrière 1.In Figure 4, the packaging has its final appearance; its side walls at the end were formed by folding downwards and upwards respectively of the lateral consolidation tabs 24 and 26, which maintain the spacing between the front and rear walls, by engagement of the auxiliary locking tabs 21 behind the region upper 2b of the front wall, with simultaneous folding back to the sides and towards the rear wall 1 of the flaps 16, finally by insertion of the main locking tabs 19 in the packaging, against the internal face of the rear wall 1.

Il serait possible de réaliser totalement l'emballage sans le retourner, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit terminé.It would be possible to fully realize the packaging without turning it over, until it is finished.

La figure 5 montre la forme de la face latérale en bout de l'emballage fermée par le rabat 16 et, par suite, de sa section transversale verticale; cette forme est celle d'un rectangle surmonté d'un trapèze; elle devient simplement celle d'un grand trapèze, si la largeur de la paroi de dessus devient nulle; si la face avant est uniformément inclinée sur la verticale, cette forme devient également celle d'un grand trapèze ou, si la largeur de la paroi de dessus est nulle, d'un grand triangle.FIG. 5 shows the shape of the lateral face at the end of the package closed by the flap 16 and, consequently, of its vertical cross section; this shape is that of a rectangle surmounted by a trapezoid; it simply becomes that of a large trapezoid, if the width of the top wall becomes zero; if the front face is uniformly inclined to the vertical, this shape also becomes that of a large trapezoid or, if the width of the top wall is zero, of a large triangle.
