Description

L'invention concerne un emballage pour vais­selle creuse, telle que tasses ou verres.The invention relates to a packaging for hollow dishes, such as cups or glasses.

On connaît déjà, différents types d'emballage pour le stockage et le transport de vaiselle telle que des assiettes, des tasses, le la verrerie ou autres.We already know different types of packaging for the storage and transport of dishes such as plates, cups, glassware or others.

Ces emballages traditionnels comportent des emballages dits "primaires" constitués par des copeaux de bois ou du papier et des emballages dits "secondaires" constitués par des caisses en bois ou des cartons.These traditional packages include so-called "primary" packages consisting of wood chips or paper and so-called "secondary" packages consisting of wooden cases or cardboard boxes.

Ces types d'emballages sont relativement lourds et d'une manipulation peu aisée. En outre, ils occasion­nent une grande perte de temps pour la mise en place de la vaisselle sans assurer, pour autant, une grande fiabilité lors du transport des éléments de vaisselle emballés.These types of packaging are relatively heavy and not very easy to handle. In addition, they cause a great loss of time for the installation of the dishes without ensuring, however, a high reliability during the transport of the items of packed dishes.

Le brevet français n° 86 11 379 propose un emballage de conception simple permettant de supprimer les emballages "primaires et secondaires" ; cependant, cet emballage est avant tout destiné à permettre l'embal­lage individuel de vaiselle plate telle que plats ou aissettes et ne peut que très difficilement s'adapter à l'emballage de vaisselle creuse telle que des verres ou des tasses qui sont, traditionellement, emballés par groupes de six, huit ou douze.French patent n ° 86 11 379 proposes a packaging of simple design allowing to eliminate the "primary and secondary"packaging; however, this packaging is primarily intended to allow the individual packaging of flat dishes such as dishes or dishes and can only very difficult to adapt to the packaging of hollow dishes such as glasses or cups which are, traditionally, packed in groups of six, eight or twelve.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un emballage plus spé­cialement destiné à de la vaisselle creuse telle que tasses ou verres.The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a packaging more specifically intended for hollow dishes such as cups or glasses.

Selon l'invention, cet emballage est caracté­risé en ce qu'il est constitué d'un corps et d'un couvercle munis, chacun, d'une face principale et coopé­rant pour définir une cage renfermant des organes de réception souples permettant la mise en place côte à côte de tasses ou de verres et leur blocage individuel.According to the invention, this packaging is characterized in that it consists of a body and a cover each provided with a main face and cooperating to define a cage containing flexible receiving members allowing the setting places cups or glasses side by side and their individual blocking.

Comme il a déjà été indiqué, cet emballage maintient efficacement dans sa partie interne, plusieurs tasses ou verres (généralement six, huit ou douze) qui sont placés côte à côte parallèlement les uns aux autres en étant efficacement bloqués de façon à ne pas risquer de s'entrechoquer et par suite de se briser.As already indicated, this packaging effectively maintains in its internal part, several cups or glasses (generally six, eight or twelve) which are placed side by side parallel to each other while being effectively blocked so as not to risk collide and consequently break.

Ce maintien efficace est obtenu dès la mise en place des tasses ou verres qui est quasi immédiate.This effective maintenance is obtained as soon as the cups or glasses are put in place, which is almost immediate.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le corps et le couvercle sont constitué par des cornières délimitant un cadre, notamment rectangulaire, dont les sommets sont munis d'organes d'emboîtement permettant la fermeture de l'emballage par blocage du couvercle sur le corps et dont les côtés opposés sont reliés par des entre­toises disposées parallèlement selon deux directions différentes de manière à définir des intersections uni­formément réparties sur les faces principales du corps et du couvercle et au niveau desquelles sont placées les organes de réception individuels des tasses ou des verres.According to another characteristic of the invention, the body and the cover are constituted by angles defining a frame, in particular rectangular, the vertices of which are fitted with interlocking members enabling the packaging to be closed by locking the cover on the body and whose opposite sides are connected by spacers arranged in parallel in two different directions so as to define intersections uniformly distributed on the main faces of the body and of the lid and at the level of which are placed the individual receiving members for cups or glasses .

Cet emballage est, le plus souvent, réalisé en un matériau synthétique qui présente plusieurs avantages : un prix peu élevé, une fabrication facile, un faible poids et une élasticité permettant de protéger efficacement les objets stockés et transportés.This packaging is most often made of a synthetic material which has several advantages: a low price, easy manufacture, low weight and elasticity allowing effective protection of the objects stored and transported.

Les entretoises sont le plus souvent disposées selon deux directions perpendiculaires et parallèles aux côtés du cadre ; cette configuration n'est cependant pas limitative de l'invention, et, l'on pourraît prévoir des entretoises définissant des losanges. De même, bien qu'ils soient le plus souvent rectangulaires, on pourraît également imaginer des cadres ayant des formes autres, notamment arrondies.The spacers are most often arranged in two directions perpendicular and parallel to the sides of the frame; this configuration is not however limiting of the invention, and, one could provide spacers defining diamonds. Similarly, although they are most often rectangular, one could also imagine frames having other shapes, in particular rounded.

De même, la géométrie de l'ensemble ainsi constitué est quelconque et dépend, avant tout, du nombre de verres ou de tasses que l'emballage doit contenir ; dans le cas le plus fréquent de six objets, on prévoit généralement de les disposer sur deux rangées de trois.Similarly, the geometry of the assembly thus formed is arbitrary and depends, above all, on the number of glasses or cups that the packaging must contain; in the most frequent case of six objects, provision is generally made for placing them in two rows of three.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les organes de réception sont constitués par une tige rigide essentiellement perpendiculaire à la face princi­pale du corps ou du couvercle sur laquelle elle est fixée au niveau d'une intersection par l'une de ses extrémités ou première extrémité, et portant, à son extrémité opposée ou seconde extrémité, au moins deux languettes souples croisées essentiellement orthogonales, inclinées en direction de la tige et coopérant pour définir un dôme de réception de la surface interne d'une tasse ou d'un verre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the receiving members consist of a rigid rod essentially perpendicular to the main face of the body or of the cover on which it is fixed at an intersection by one of its ends or first end, and carrying, at its opposite end or second end, at least two flexible tongues crossed essentially orthogonal, inclined towards the rod and cooperating to define a dome for receiving the internal surface of a cup or a glass.

De par leur élasticité, les languettes permet­tent un blocage à la fois sûr et souple des objets mis en place dans l'emballage. Bien entendu, la dimension et l'inclinaison des languettes sont fonction des tasses ou verres devant être emballés.Due to their elasticity, the tabs allow secure and flexible locking of the objects placed in the packaging. Of course, the size and the inclination of the tongues depend on the cups or glasses to be packaged.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les intersections du corps et du couvercle se correspon­dent et sont chacune munies d'un plot de réception creux permettant la mise en place à force et de manière amovible de la première extrémité de la tige d'un organe de récep­tion.According to another characteristic of the invention, the intersections of the body and of the cover correspond to each other and are each provided with a hollow receiving stud allowing the first end of the rod to be force-fitted and removably receiving agency.

Ce caractère amovible des organes de réception présente un intérêt tout particulier, étant donné qu'il est ainsi possible de mettre en place, dans une même "cage" différents organes de réception en fonction des différences de formes ou de dimensions des tasses ou verres devant être transportés.This removable nature of the receiving members is of particular interest, since it is thus possible to set up, in the same "cage" different receiving members depending on the differences in shape or dimensions of the cups or glasses in front be transported.

De plus, il est ainsi possible d'insérer au choix, la première extrémité de la tige soit dans le couvercle, soit dans le corps de l'emballage.In addition, it is thus possible to insert, as desired, the first end of the rod either in the cover or in the body of the package.

Il convient, par ailleurs, de remarquer que les plots de réception non utilisés (du couvercle ou du corps de l'emballage) ne sont pas sans intérêt, étant donné qu'ils coopèrent avec les languettes pour permettre de bloquer les tasses ou les verres par leur partie externe, empêchant tout mouvement pouvant conduire à des chocs.It should also be noted that the unused receiving pads (of the lid or the body of the package) are not without interest, since they cooperate with the tongues to allow the cups or glasses to be blocked by their external part, preventing any movement which could lead to shocks.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le corps, le couvercle et les organes de réception sont montés en une seule pièce en un matériau synthétique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the body, the cover and the receiving members are mounted in one piece in a synthetic material.

Il s'agit là d'une caractéristique de nature à faciliter notablement la fabrication de l'emballage conforme à l'invention, et par suite, de diminuer son prix de revient.This is a characteristic capable of significantly facilitating the manufacture of the packaging according to the invention, and consequently of reducing its cost price.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les organes d'emboîtement sont constitués, d'une part, par des plots d'emboîtement creux parallèles aux plots de réception et disposés sur les cornières aux quatre coins de la face principale du couvercle et, d'autre part, par des colonnes d'emboîtement cylindriques ou tronconiques parallèles aux plots de réception, disposées sur les cornières aux quatre coins de la face principale du corps et munies, à leur extrémité, d'un décrochement coopérant avec la partie creuse des plots d'emboîtement pour permet­tre la mise en place à force du couvercle sur le corps de l'emballage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the nesting members consist, on the one hand, of hollow nesting studs parallel to the reception studs and arranged on the angles at the four corners of the main face of the cover and, on the other hand, by cylindrical or frustoconical interlocking columns parallel to the receiving pads, arranged on the angles at the four corners of the main face of the body and provided, at their end, with a recess cooperating with the hollow part of the nesting studs to allow the cover to be forced into place on the body of the packaging.

Cette configuration, qui est d'une nature extrêmement simple, peut donner lieu à un certain nombre de variantes ; il est par exemple possible de munir les cornières ou les plots d'éléments de renforcement.This configuration, which is extremely simple in nature, can give rise to a number of variants; it is for example possible to provide the angles or the studs with reinforcing elements.

Une autre variante consiste à munir les faces principales du couvercle et du corps d'emballage d'organes coopérant pour permettre leur empilement.Another variant consists in providing the main faces of the cover and of the packaging body with cooperating members to allow their stacking.

Une variante particulièrement intéressante de l'invention consisterait à concevoir un emballage cons­titué par un couvercle et un corps identiques coopérant avec quatre colonnes annexes munies d'un décrochement à chacune de leurs extrémités.A particularly advantageous variant of the invention would consist in designing a packaging consisting of a cover and an identical body cooperating with four annexed columns provided with a recess at each of their ends.

Les caractéristiques de l'emballage qui fait l'objet de l'invention seront décrites plus en détail en se référant aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du corps de l'emballage,
  • - la figure 2 représente le couvercle du corps de l'emballage de la figure 1.
The characteristics of the packaging which is the subject of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the body of the package,
  • - Figure 2 shows the cover of the body of the packaging of Figure 1.

Selon les figures, l'emballage conforme à l'invention est constitué d'un corps d'emballage 1 (figure 1) coopérant avec un couvercle 2 (figure 2) qui coopèrent pour définir une cage, lorsqu'ils sont bloqués l'un dans l'autre au moyen d'organes d'emboîtement qui seront décrits plus en détail dans la suite de cet exposé.According to the figures, the packaging according to the invention consists of a packaging body 1 (Figure 1) cooperating with a cover 2 (Figure 2) which cooperate to define a cage, when they are blocked one in the other by means of nesting members which will be described in more detail later in this presentation.

Selon les figures, le corps 1 et le couvercle 2 de l'emballage comportent des faces principales 10 et 20 et sont constitués par des cornières 3 assemblées de manière à définir un cadre rectangulaire 30, 31 entourant respectivement les faces principales 10, 20 du corps d'emballage 1 et du couvercle 2.According to the figures, the body 1 and the cover 2 of the packaging have main faces 10 and 20 and are constituted by angles 3 assembled so as to define a rectangular frame 30, 31 respectively surrounding the main faces 10, 20 of the body 1 and cover 2.

Les quatre angles des cadres 30, 31 du corps 1, d'une part, et du couvercle 2, d'autre part, portent les organes d'emboîtement dont une partie est solidaire du corps 1 tandis que la partie complémentaire est solidaire du couvercle 2.The four angles of the frames 30, 31 of the body 1, on the one hand, and of the cover 2, on the other hand, carry the interlocking members, part of which is integral with the body 1 while the complementary part is integral cover 2.

Ces éléments comportent des colonnes d'emboîte­ment 6 de forme tronconique fixées sur les coins 5 du cadre 30 du corps d'emballage 1 perpendiculairement à la face principale 10 de celui-ci ; ces colonnes 6 sont munies, à leur extrémité, d'un décrochement 7 coopérant avec la partie creuse 8 de plots d'emboîtement 9 fixés aux quatre coins 5ʹ du cadre 31 du couvercle 2 perpendiculaire­ment à la face principale 20 de celui-ci. Les dimensions des décrochements 7 des colonnes 6, d'une part, et des par­ties creuses 8 des plots d'emboîtement 9, d'autre part, sont choisies de manière à permettre une mise en place à force des décrochements 7 dans les parties creuses 8 et un maintien sûr de ceux-ci.These elements include interlocking columns 6 of frustoconical shape fixed on the corners 5 of the frame 30 of the packaging body 1 perpendicular to the main face 10 thereof; these columns 6 are provided, at their end, with a recess 7 cooperating with the hollow part 8 of nesting studs 9 fixed to the four corners 5ʹ of the frame 31 of the cover 2 perpendicularly to the main face 20 thereof. The dimensions of the recesses 7 of the columns 6, on the one hand, and of the hollow parts 8 of the nesting studs 9, on the other hand, are chosen so as to allow the recesses 7 to be forced into place in the hollow parts 8 and secure maintenance thereof.

Par ailleurs, comme il a été déjà indiqué, l'emballage représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 est destiné à recevoir des tasses ou des verres, non représentés. La hauteur h des colonnes d'emboîtement 6 est, bien entendu, choisie en fonction des dimensions de ceux-ci.Furthermore, as already indicated, the packaging shown in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to receive cups or glasses, not shown. The height h of the interlocking columns 6 is, of course, chosen as a function of the dimensions thereof.

Par ailleurs, les côtés parallèles des cornières 3 définissant les cadres 30, 31 entourant les faces prin­cipales 10, 20 du corps d'emballage 1 et du couvercle 2, sont réunis par des entretoises 12, 13 et 12ʹ, 13ʹ dis­posées parallèlement selon deux directions perpendiculaires de manière à définir des intersections 14, 14ʹ uniformé­ment réparties sur les faces principales 10 et 20 du corps 1 et du couvercle 2 au niveau desquelles sont fixés des plots de réception creux 15, 15ʹ approximativement perpen­diculaires aux plots d'emboîtement 9 et aux colonnes d'emboîtement 6.Furthermore, the parallel sides of the angles 3 defining the frames 30, 31 surrounding the main faces 10, 20 of the packaging body 1 and the cover 2, are joined by spacers 12, 13 and 12ʹ, 13ʹ arranged parallel in two directions perpendicular so as to define intersections 14, 14ʹ uniformly distributed over the main faces 10 and 20 of the body 1 and of the cover 2 at the level of which hollow receiving pads 15, 15ʹ are fixed approximately perpendicular to the fitting pads 9 and to the columns nesting 6.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un emballage destiné à recevoir six tasses disposées selon deux rangées de trois : le corps 1 et le couvercle 2 de cet emballage comportent six intersections 14, 14ʹ munies, chacune, d'un plot de réception 15, 15ʹ. Cette configuration n'est, bien entendu en aucune façon, limitative de l'invention.FIGS. 1 and 2 represent a package intended to receive six cups arranged in two rows of three: the body 1 and the cover 2 of this package have six intersections 14, 14ʹ each provided, a reception pad 15, 15ʹ. This configuration is, of course in no way, limiting of the invention.

Selon la figure 1, les plots de réception 15 placés aux intersections 14 de la face principale 10 du corps 1 de l'emballage sont munis d'organes de réception amovibles 16 destinés, chacun, à maintenir une tasse ou un verre non représenté. Ces organes de réception 16 sont constitués par une tige rigide 17 dont une première extrémité 18 est fixée dans un plot de réception 15 tandis que son extrémité opposée 19 est munie de deux languettes croisées 21 qui sont inclinées vers le bas en direction de la tige 17 de manière à définir un dôme de réception assurant le maintien de la surface interne d'une tasse ou d'un verre non représenté.According to Figure 1, the receiving pads 15 placed at the intersections 14 of the main face 10 of the body 1 of the package are provided with removable receiving members 16 intended, each, to hold a cup or a glass not shown. These receiving members 16 are constituted by a rigid rod 17, a first end 18 of which is fixed in a reception stud 15 while its opposite end 19 is provided with two crossed tabs 21 which are inclined downwards in the direction of the rod 17 so as to define a receiving dome ensuring the maintenance of the internal surface of a cup or a glass not shown.

Les dômes de réception maintiennent les tasses, verres ou autres à l'état suspendu, de manière à éviter que le bord supérieur des tasses, verres ou autres risque d'être ébréché.The receiving domes keep the cups, glasses or the like in a suspended state, so as to prevent the upper edge of the cups, glasses or the like from being chipped.

De plus, la forme des languettes du dôme est fonction des tasses, verres ou autres, néanmoins des tasses, verres ou autres ayant des formes différentes mais un formant similaire peuvent être maintenus sur un même dôme gràace à l'élasticité des languettes.In addition, the shape of the tongues of the dome is a function of the cups, glasses or the like, nevertheless cups, glasses or the like having different shapes but a similar shape can be maintained on the same dome thanks to the elasticity of the tongues.

L'emballage représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 est, de préférence, en matière plastique, et présente l'avantage d'être, à la fois, souple, robuste, léger, d'une fabrication aisée et d'un prix de revient peu élevé.The packaging shown in Figures 1 and 2 is preferably made of plastic, and has the advantage of being, at the same time, flexible, robust, light, easy to manufacture and at cost price. not high.

Bien entendu, l'emballage représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 ne doit être considéré qu'à titre d'exemple et celui-ci pourraît donner lieu à de multiples variantes sans pour ce sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the packaging shown in Figures 1 and 2 should only be considered as an example and it could give rise to multiple variants without departing from the scope of the invention.
