Description

L'invention a pour objet une boîte en matière plastique de forme rectangulaire, qui est destinèe à être fixée contre une paroi et à renfermer un boîtage de sachets en polyèthylène à usage hygiénique, assemblés par un double pliage en forme de "S" et propres à être extraits un par un à travers une ouverture frontale.The invention relates to a plastic box of rectangular shape, which is intended to be fixed against a wall and to enclose a box of polyethylene bags for hygienic use, assembled by a double folding in the shape of "S" and clean to be extracted one by one through a front opening.

Une boîte connue sous la marque "CRAYONNE" (fabriqué en Angleterre et du jenre comprenant un fond en forme de boîtier rectangulaire apte à être fixé à une paroi, un couvercle à angles arrondis, qui est découpé d'une ouverture centrale et qui est propre à se fixer par encliquetage sur le fond précité.
Dans la boîte de l'invention les bords les plus courts sont divisés en trois parties, dont la partie centrale est munis d'une petite saillie centrale propre à retenir le couvercle, lorsque la dite saillie vient s'enboiter par pression dans une rainure intérieure dudit couvercle.A box known under the brand name "CRAYONNE" (made in England and of jenre comprising a bottom in the form of a rectangular case able to be fixed to a wall, a cover with rounded angles, which is cut from a central opening and which is clean to be fixed by snap-fastening on the aforementioned bottom.
In the box of the invention the shortest edges are divided into three parts, the central part of which is provided with a small central projection suitable for retaining the cover, when the said projection comes to snap into place in an internal groove of said cover.

On peut de cette manière remplacer un boîtage de sachets épuisé par un nouveau, en utilisant toujours comme contenant la même boîte fixée à la paroi.We can in this way replace a box of spent bags with a new one, always using as container the same box fixed to the wall.

Le double pliage spécial en forme de "S" permet en effet d'extraire à travers l'ouverture frontale les sachets un par un, sans disloquer le paquet et en présentant toujours à l'extérieur de ladite ouverture le bord du sachet subséquent.The special double folding in the shape of an "S" makes it possible to extract through the front opening the sachets one by one, without dislocating the packet and always presenting outside the said opening the edge of the subsequent sachet.

Sur la planche de dessin annexée:

  • La fig. 1 est une vue en perspective montrant à l'état séparé les éléments qui constituent la boîte suivant l'invention.
  • La fig. 2 illustre le système de pliage et d'assemblage des sachets.
  • La fig. 3 est une vue de côté avec coupe partielle des trois constituants de la boîte envisagée, représentés à l'état séparé.
  • La fig. 4 montre le fond de la boîte destiné à étre appliqué a une paroi.
On the attached drawing board:
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing in a separate state the elements which constitute the box according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the folding and assembly system of the bags.
  • Fig. 3 is a side view with partial section of the three components of the envisaged box, shown in the separate state.
  • Fig. 4 shows the bottom of the box intended to be applied to a wall.

Comme le montrent les figs. 1 à 3, la boîte considérée se compose de trois éléments, à savoir le fond 1 du type en forme de boîtier rectangulaire destiné à être fixé à une paroi, le couvercle 2 propre à être encliqueté sur le fond 1 et le boîtage en carton 3 qui renferme le paquet de sachets hygiéniques en polyéthylène.As shown in figs. 1 to 3, the box considered consists of three elements, namely the bottom 1 of the type in the form of a rectangular box intended to be fixed to a wall, the cover 2 suitable for being snapped onto the bottom 1 and the cardboard box 3 which contains the pack of hygienic polyethylene bags.

Les mêmes figs. 1 à 3 montrent que les bords latéraux les plus longs 4 du fond rectangulaire 1 sont moins hauts que les bords les plus courts 5. Dans ces derniers est ménagée la languette centrale 6 qui, par suite de l'élasticité de la matière plastique et la présence de la petite saillie centrale 7, est propre à retenir le couvercle 2 lorsque ladite saillie vient s'emboîter par pression dans la rainure intérieure 8 dudit couvercle.The same figs. 1 to 3 show that the longest side edges 4 of the rectangular bottom 1 are shorter than the shortest edges 5. In the latter is provided the central tongue 6 which, due to the elasticity of the plastic and the presence of the small central projection 7, is capable of retaining the cover 2 when said projection comes to fit by pressure in the inner groove 8 of said cover.

Ce couvercle 2 présente des angles supérieurs arrondis et comporte dans sa partie centrale l'ouverture 9 pour l'extraction des sachets du boîtage 3, préalablement introduit à l'intérieur du fond 1 et lui-même découpé d'une ouverture centrale 10 (fig. 1) qui coïncide, à la position superposée, avec celle référencée 9 du couvercle 2.This cover 2 has rounded upper angles and has in its central part the opening 9 for the extraction of the bags from the casing 3, previously introduced inside the bottom 1 and itself cut out from a central opening 10 (fig 1) which coincides, in the superimposed position, with that referenced 9 of the cover 2.

De cette manière, on facilite le remplacement d'un boîtage de sachets épuisé par un nouveau, en ré-utilisant pendant un temps indéterminé toujours la même boîte appliquée à une paroi.In this way, it facilitates the replacement of a box of spent bags with a new one, by re-using for an indefinite time always the same box applied to a wall.

Le fond 1 de cette boîte peut en effet être fixé à l'aide de vis à une paroi, en utilisant les trous 11 (fig. 3 et 4), ou bien même être rendue solidaire de ladite paroi par pression de l'adhésif 12 contre une surface lisse.The bottom 1 of this box can indeed be fixed with screws to a wall, using the holes 11 (fig. 3 and 4), or even be made integral with said wall by pressure of the adhesive 12 against a smooth surface.

La fig. 2 montre comment les sachets 13 sont repliés et assemblés à l'intérieur du boîtage en carton 3 de figs. 1 à 3.Fig. 2 shows how the bags 13 are folded and assembled inside the cardboard box 3 of FIGS. 1 to 3.

Le pliage particulier en "S" avec superposition intercalée des bords sachets adjacents fait en sorte que l'extraction d'un sachet à travers les ouvertures superposées 9 et 10 du couvercle, respectivement du boîtage, ne provoque aucune dislocation même minime du paquet et détermine seulement la sortie partielle du bord du sachet subséquent, ce qui facilite considérablement l'extraction.The particular "S" folding with interleaved overlap of the adjacent bag edges ensures that the extraction of a bag through the superimposed openings 9 and 10 of the lid, respectively of the casing, does not cause any dislocation, however small, of the package and determines only the partial exit of the edge of the subsequent bag, this which greatly facilitates extraction.

De ce qui vient d'être décrit et illustré, on comprend sans peine la nouveauté et les avantages de l'invention considérée, tout spécialement en ce qui concerne le mode pratique de substitution des boîtages de sachets, l'économie du produit qui n'exige pas le remplacement de la boîte entière, ainsi que la facilité d'extraction des sachets qui sortent seulement un par un.From what has just been described and illustrated, it is easy to understand the novelty and the advantages of the invention considered, especially with regard to the practical mode of substitution of sachet casings, the economy of the product which does not require the replacement of the entire box, as well as the ease of extraction of the bags which come out only one by one.
