Description

La présente invention concerne une caisse d'emballage destinée à contenir des plateaux de support superposés de produits, plus particulièrement de plateaux de support d'oeufs.The present invention relates to a packaging case intended to contain support trays superimposed on products, more particularly egg support trays.

Les caisses d'emballage de ce type existant actuellement posent souvent, de par leur structure, des problèmes de remplissage ou de vidage, étant donné que l'accès aux plateaux de support superposés contenus dans la caisse s'avère généralement difficile. Ceci peut ralentir fortement le remplissage et le vidage des causses, surtout s'il s'agit de plateaux de produits fragiles, tels que des oeufs.Packaging boxes of this type currently existing often pose, due to their structure, filling or emptying problems, since access to the superimposed support trays contained in the box is generally difficult. This can greatly slow down the filling and emptying of the causses, especially in the case of trays of fragile products, such as eggs.

L'invention a précisément pour but de créer une caisse d'emballage qui permet de remédier à ces divers inconvénients.The object of the invention is precisely to create a packaging case which overcomes these various drawbacks.

A cet effet, au moins deux faces latérales opposées de la caisse d'emballage comportent chacune au moins un évidement s'étendant à partir du bord supérieur de la caisse vers le fond de cette dernière.To this end, at least two opposite lateral faces of the packaging box each have at least one recess extending from the upper edge of the box towards the bottom of the latter.

Suivant une forme de réalisation avantageuse de l'invention, au moins les faces latérales présentant les évidements comportent des nervures de renforcement.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least the side faces having the recesses have reinforcing ribs.

Par ailleurs, l'invention vise également à procurer une caisse d'emballage présentant un couvercle qui peut être scellé facilement sur la caisse et qui permet un accès facile et rapide au contenu de cette dernière.Furthermore, the invention also aims to provide a packaging case having a cover which can be easily sealed on the case and which allows easy and quick access to the contents of the latter.

Ainsi, suivant l'invention, la caisse d'emballage présente un couvercle complètement amovible muni sur un côté de son pourtour d'un rebord en forme de crochet orienté vers le bas, ce rebord pouvant, d'une part, être articulé et s'adapter librement sur un bord saillant supérieur d'une face latérale de la caisse au moment où le couvercle se trouve dans une position d'ouverture et, d'autre part, être bloqué sur le bord saillant au moment où le couvercle passe en position de fermeture par une rotation autour de ce bord saillant.Thus, according to the invention, the packing case has a completely removable cover provided on one side of its periphery with a hook-shaped rim oriented downwards, this rim being able, on the one hand, to be articulated and s '' freely fit on an upper projecting edge of a side face of the box when the cover is in an open position and, on the other hand, be locked on the edge protruding when the cover passes into the closed position by a rotation around this projecting edge.

D'autres particularités de l'invention apparaîtront de la description donnée, ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une forme de réalisation spécifique de l'invention avec référence aux dessins annexés.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en élévation, avec brisures partielles, de la caisse d'emballage suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1, mais uniquement dans la caisse.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en élévation schéma­tique d'un empilement de caisses d'emballage suivant l'invention.
Other features of the invention will appear from the description given below, by way of nonlimiting example, of a specific embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view, partially broken, of the packing case according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1, but only in the body.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic elevational view of a stack of packing cases according to the invention.

Dans chacune des figures, les mêmes références se rapportent aux mêmes éléments.In each of the figures, the same references relate to the same elements.

D'une manière générale, l'invention concerne des caisses d'emballage destinées à contenir des plateaux de support superposés de produits, notamment de produits fragiles, tels que des oeufs.In general, the invention relates to packaging cases intended to contain support trays superimposed on products, in particular fragile products, such as eggs.

Cette caisse se caractérise par le fait qu'au moins deux de ses faces latérales opposées comportent chacune au moins un évidement s'étendant à partir du bord supérieur de la caisse vers le fond de cette dernière, et ce de manière à rendre le contenu de la caisse plus accessible à la prise par les mains.This box is characterized by the fact that at least two of its opposite lateral faces each have at least one recess extending from the upper edge of the box towards the bottom of the latter, so as to render the contents of the body more accessible to the grip by the hands.

La plupart du temps, on donnera la préférence à une caisse dont les évidements s'étendent à partir du bord supérieur jusqu'à une certaine distance verticale du fond de la caisse.Most of the time, preference will be given to a box, the recesses of which extend from the upper edge to a certain vertical distance from the bottom of the box.

La distance verticale au-delà de laquelle la caisse n'est pas évidée définit une zone où l'on peut empiler par exemple une réserve de plateaux de support vides.The vertical distance beyond which the body is not hollowed out defines a zone where one can stack, for example, a reserve of empty support trays.

Afin d'assurer la rigidité, des nervures de renforcement sont avantageusement prévues, au moins aux faces latérales de la caisse présentant les évidements.In order to ensure rigidity, reinforcing ribs are advantageously provided, at least on the lateral faces of the box having the recesses.

Suivant une forme de réalisation plus avanta­geuse encore de l'invention, la caisse présente un couvercle qui s'emboîte à un bord de celle-ci, de manière à pouvoir être scellé seulement au bord opposéAccording to an even more advantageous embodiment of the invention, the box has a cover which fits at one edge thereof, so that it can be sealed only at the opposite edge

Sur la figure 1 sont représentées toutes les parties d'une caisse d'emballage contenant des plateaux de support superposés 3 d'oeufs 4, avec une brisure partielle qui montre le mode de fixation du couvercle à la caisse. On peut distinguer les évidements 2 s'étendant dans les faces latérales 5 de la caisse d'emballage, et qui sont conçus de manière à pouvoir passer facilement les mains à l'intérieur de la caisse afin d'avoir un accès aisé aux plateaux de support 3, et ce jusqu'au fond de l'évidement 2.In FIG. 1 are shown all the parts of a packing case containing superimposed support trays 3 of eggs 4, with a partial break which shows the method of fixing the cover to the case. We can distinguish the recesses 2 extending in the side faces 5 of the packaging box, and which are designed so that they can easily pass their hands inside the box in order to have easy access to the trays of support 3, to the bottom of the recess 2.

Les faces latérales 5 présentent une partie formant saillie 15 permettant un meilleur emboîtement de caisses vides et augmentant la rigidité de ces faces 5.The lateral faces 5 have a protruding part 15 allowing better fitting of empty boxes and increasing the rigidity of these faces 5.

La caisse présente des nervures de renforcement 1 sur tout le pourtour des évidements 2 et dans les parties supérieures des faces latérales.The body has reinforcing ribs 1 around the entire periphery of the recesses 2 and in the upper parts of the lateral faces.

Les évidements 2 laissent apparaître les pla­teaux de support superposés 3 d'oeufs 4. La caisse est munie d'un couvercle 8 qui s'articule sur un rebord 9 de celle-ci et qui est scellée au moyen d'une bandelette 11 au bord opposé 10. Le rebord 9 présente une saillie extérieure 12 et est rendu solidaire avec le rebord correspondant 7 en forme de crochet du couvercle 8.The recesses 2 reveal the superimposed support plates 3 of eggs 4. The box is provided with a cover 8 which is articulated on a rim 9 thereof and which is sealed by means of a strip 11 at the edge opposite 10. The rim 9 has an external projection 12 and is made integral with the corresponding rim 7 in the form of a hook of the cover 8.

Deux poignées 6 sont prévues dans la caisse, qui en facilitent la manipulation.Two handles 6 are provided in the box, which facilitate handling.

La caisse repose sur un rebord 13, orienté vers le bas, et présentant des découpures 14 dans les faces latérales 5 évidées, ces découpures étant destinées à coopérer avec le rebord du couvercle d'une autre caisse. Ceci permet de former des empilements de caisses en les croisant comme montré à la figure 3, ce qui assure une excellente stabilité lors de la manutention de caisses superposées. Il est également possible de former des empilements de caisses en les disposant de manière parallèle. A cette fin, des découpures 14 sont également prévues dans les faces présen­tant les poignées 6.The box rests on a rim 13, oriented downwards, and having cutouts 14 in the recessed side faces 5, these cutouts being intended to cooperate with the rim of the cover of another box. This makes it possible to form stacks of boxes by crossing them as shown in FIG. 3, which ensures excellent stability when handling stacked boxes. It is also possible to form stacks of boxes by arranging them in parallel. To this end, cutouts 14 are also provided in the faces presenting the handles 6.

Par caisse il y a deux empilements juxtaposés de plusieurs plateaux de support, par exemple 7. Chacun de ces empilements peut être posé dans ou extrait d'une caisse en une seule opération, d'où un gain de temps appréciable. Le plateau supérieur ne contient pas d'oeufs et sert uniquement à assurer une bonne stabilité d'un empilement en serrant ce dernier contre le couvercle.By case there are two stacks juxtaposed with several support trays, for example 7. Each of these stacks can be placed in or extracted from a case in a single operation, thereby saving significant time. The upper plate does contains no eggs and is used only to ensure good stability of a stack by pressing it against the cover.

La largeur moyenne totale des évidements par face est sensiblement égale au tiers de la longueur totale de la face correspondante.The total average width of the recesses per face is substantially equal to one third of the total length of the corresponding face.

La caisse, en polyéthylène à haute densité, est de forme rectangulaire et chacune des deux plus grandes faces latérales présente deux évidements.The body, made of high density polyethylene, is rectangular in shape and each of the two largest side faces has two recesses.

De ce qui précède, il ressort que grâce à la présence des évidements dans des faces latérales de la caisse, on obtient une plus grande accessibilité au contenu de celle-ci.From the above, it appears that thanks to the presence of the recesses in the lateral faces of the box, greater accessibility to the content thereof is obtained.

Un avantage supplémentaire de l'invention réside dans le fait que la caisse est pourvue d'un couvercle qui s'emboîte à un bord de celle-ci, de sorte à pouvoir être scellé au bord opposé, par exemple au moyen d'une bandelette, qui peut indiquer diverses données utiles, telles que calibre, poids, date d'emballage des produits.An additional advantage of the invention resides in the fact that the box is provided with a lid which fits at one edge thereof, so that it can be sealed at the opposite edge, for example by means of a strip. , which can indicate various useful data, such as size, weight, date of packaging of the products.

Un autre avantage encore de l'invention est que ce couvercle peut s'articuler et s'adapter librement à la caisse pour se retrouver en position de fermeture ou d'ouverture de la caisse.Yet another advantage of the invention is that this cover can be articulated and freely adapt to the body to find itself in the closed or open position of the body.

La caisse étant symétrique, le couvercle peut y être adapté indépendamment du sens, ce qui entraîne un gain de temps supplémentaire lors de l'opération d'emballage.The box being symmetrical, the cover can be adapted to it independently of the direction, which saves additional time during the packaging operation.

La forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus a uniquement pour but de mettre en évidence les possibilités d'application de l'objet de l'invention.The embodiment described above is only intended to highlight the possibilities of application of the object of the invention.

Dans les figures, la caisse a été montrée avec un évasement relativement important. Toutefois, pour éviter que les empilements de plateaux puissent bouger latéralement on peut avoir intérêt à réduire au stricte minimum cet évasement pour que les empilements de plateaux soient maintenus sur pratiquement toute leur hauteur entre les faces latérales de la caisse. Grâce aux évidements, suivant l'invention, ceci ne gêne nullement la manipulation des plateaux lors du remplissage et vidage de la caisse.In the figures, the body has been shown with a relatively large flare. However, to avoid that the stacks of trays can move laterally, it may be advantageous to reduce this flaring to a strict minimum so that the stacks of trays are maintained over practically their entire height between the lateral faces of the body. Thanks to the recesses according to the invention, this does not hinder the handling of the plates during filling and emptying of the box.

En outre, le fond de la caisse présente sur la ligne médiane des faces latérales évidées, deux goussets l'un et l'autre s'appuyant contre chaque face évidée destinés à augmenter la rigidité de ces faces. Les deux goussets sont reliés par une nervure traversant le côté intérieur du fond de la caisse, formant obstacle au déplacement latéral d'un empilement de plateaux de support d'oeufs, par exemple durant le transport.In addition, the bottom of the box on the line median of the hollowed out lateral faces, two gussets each pressing against each hollowed out face intended to increase the rigidity of these faces. The two gussets are connected by a rib crossing the inside of the bottom of the box, forming an obstacle to the lateral movement of a stack of egg support trays, for example during transport.

L'invention n'est donc nullement limitée à ces formes de réalisation et, dans le cadre de la protection recherchée, plusieurs modifications peuvent être imaginées, entr'autres quant aux formes, aux dimensions et au choix des matériaux de la caisse.The invention is therefore by no means limited to these embodiments and, in the context of the protection sought, several modifications can be imagined, among others with regard to the shapes, dimensions and choice of materials for the body.

Ainsi, les évidements peuvent pratiquement s'étendre jusqu'au fond de la caisse, permettant un accès facile à l'entièreté du volume de la caisse, et ainsi augmenter la capacité utile de celle-ci à contenir des plateaux de support chargés de produits. Il faudrait prévoir, entr'autres, des nervures de renforcement supplémentaires pour compenser la diminution de résistance de la caisse entraînée par la profondeur accrue des évidements.Thus, the recesses can practically extend to the bottom of the box, allowing easy access to the entire volume of the box, and thus increase the useful capacity of the latter to contain support trays loaded with products. . Provision should be made, inter alia, for additional reinforcing ribs to compensate for the reduction in resistance of the body caused by the increased depth of the recesses.

On peut envisager également une forme carrée pour les caisses, chaque face latérale y étant pourvue d'un seul évidement, s'étendant au milieu de la face. Le volume est alors réduit de moitié mais l'opération de remplissage s'effectue en une fois et la manipulation des caisses est encore plus rapide de par leur symétrie, aucune face latérale ne se différenciant encore de l'autre.We can also consider a square shape for the boxes, each side face being provided with a single recess, extending in the middle of the face. The volume is then halved, but the filling operation is carried out at once and the handling of the boxes is even faster due to their symmetry, no side face yet differentiating from the other.

Une forme cylindrique pour les caisses peut s'avérer utile pour certaines applications, notamment lorsque les plateaux de support sont circulaires, ou encore lorsque les produits destinés à remplir la caisse sont en forme de disques. Dans ce cas, les évidements sont disposés diamétralement opposés sur le pourtour de la caisse.A cylindrical shape for the boxes can be useful for certain applications, especially when the support plates are circular, or even when the products intended to fill the box are in the form of discs. In this case, the recesses are arranged diametrically opposite around the periphery of the body.
