Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for liquid product, and more particularly such packaging being in the form of a plurality of containers assembled in a common packaging.
  • the present invention aims to provide a packaging that is easy to handle and store, and more particularly having excellent stability in the event of stacking.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging for liquid product in the form of a plurality of containers gathered in a common packaging, characterized in that the said containers have a substantially square or rectangular horizontal section, have their neck formed in one of the corners of their upper surface, and have a recess in their surface lower than the vertical of said neck, that these containers are combined in their common packaging in two rows with their necks facing upwards and arranged in the external lateral planes of said rows, and that said common packaging comprises at least one strapping arranged around the containers and a handle passing between the necks of one of the rows of containers and the necks of the other row.
  • the containers being of parallelepiped shape have firstly the advantage of better use of the volume.
  • the surface occupied by a packaging according to the invention is less than that of a packaging in cylindrical bottles.
  • the location of the neck in a corner of the container makes it possible, when grouping several containers in a common package, to arrange the necks in the lateral outer planes of the packaging, and thus to increase the stability of a stack of packages. stacked directly on top of each other.
  • the necks are in fact thus arranged themselves in two rows, the spacing of which is twice that of the axes of the containers, thereby increasing the area of the support polygon thus formed, and consequently the stability of the stack.
  • this stability is also increased by the presence of the recesses on the lower surface of the containers, recesses in which the necks of a lower layer of containers are housed.
  • necks offset in the corners of the containers comes from the fact that it is possible to pass a handle in the large space formed between the two rows of necks. This handle which does not exceed or little beyond the necks of the containers, can nevertheless be easily grasped because of this space and thus facilitate gripping of the packaging according to the invention.
  • the end containers of each row preferably has their necks arranged in the end planes of said rows.
  • the packaging comprises four containers
  • their necks are arranged at the four corners of the upper surface of the packaging.
  • the area of the support polygon formed by the four necks is four times greater than that obtained with traditional packaging in cylindrical bottles.
  • the packaging may further comprise a bottom allowing better holding of the containers.
  • This bottom can for example be constituted by the lower section of a vertical strapping.
  • said handle is constituted by an upper section of a vertical strapping.
  • said handle comprises a gripping member connected to a blocking member disposed in a recess formed between said containers.
  • This locking member can for example be substantially linear and engaged in a set of grooves of complementary shape formed in the side walls of the containers.
  • the packaging of Figure 1 is composed of four containers 1 with a substantially square horizontal section.
  • the neck 2 of each of the containers is arranged in a corner of its upper surface 3, that is to say substantially in the extension of one of the vertical edges 4 of the container.
  • a recess 5 is formed in the bottom 5 ⁇ of the container vertical to the neck 2.
  • the recess 5 is of dimensions such that it can receive the neck 2, and more precisely the cap 6 of a container placed directly below him, as shown in figure 4.
  • the containers 1 are packaged in fours, in two rows of two containers, using a package consisting of a double horizontal banding 7, 7 ⁇ , and a vertical banding 8.
  • the set of four grouped containers has a square horizontal section and the containers are arranged such that the four necks 2 are at the four corners of this square, that is to say both in the outer lateral planes and in the end planes of each row. This arrangement provides the largest stacking surface possible for a second package disposed on the first.
  • the horizontal strapping 7 is arranged as high as possible so as to resume in the best conditions the lateral thrust tending to separate the containers from each other.
  • the upper horizontal section 9 of the vertical strapping 8 passes into the space formed between the necks 2 of the containers, forming a handle. Due to the spacing of the necks, due to their offset in one of the corners of the containers and the disposal of the containers in the packaging, the gripping of this handle is facilitated.
  • Figure 4 shows a stack of several packages according to this embodiment of the invention. It can be seen in this figure that the bearing surface formed by the necks 2 of a lower packaging has the largest possible surface for receiving an upper packaging. The centering of this packaging is ensured by the penetration of the plugs 6 of the lower containers into the recesses 5 of the containers of the upper packaging.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 which represent a second embodiment of the invention, the same references have been used to designate similar elements.
  • the packaging includes only two horizontal straps 7 and 7 ⁇ but does not include vertical strapping.
  • the handle 10 here comprises a gripping member 11 and a linear blocking member 12 connected by a rod 13 also linear.
  • the handle 10 can be made in one piece and thus has the shape of an I.
  • the containers 1 have peripheral grooves 14 of shape complementary to that of the locking member 12, for example in this case, of semi-cylindrical shape.
  • the grooves 14 in the extension one of the other of two of the adjacent containers therefore form, with two grooves 14 also in the extension of one another of the two other containers, a cylindrical cavity in which the blocking member 12 can be housed .
  • the locking member 12 therefore acts like a key so that the four containers can be gripped by the handle 11, the weight of the containers being transmitted to this handle via the rod 13.
  • the containers can have a narrowed section over part of their height, making it possible on the one hand to grip them more easily, and on the other hand to receive one of the horizontal straps, which can allow to remove more easily the lower part of the vertical banding.
  • the packaging shown consisting of two horizontal straps and a vertical strapping, could be replaced by a sheet of continuous plastic material shaped so as to produce the handle passing through the space between the necks of the containers.
  • the packaging shown in the drawing groups the containers by four. It goes without saying that these containers could be grouped for example by six or by eight. In the case of a grouping by six, the containers are arranged in two rows of three containers with the necks of the four corner containers arranged in the corners of the rectangle thus formed.
