Description

La présente invention a trait à un article d'emballa­ge en forme de parois pliables comprenant plusieurs parois liées entre elles et une poignée qui est capable d'être enfoncée dans l'ensemble des parois.The present invention relates to a packaging article in the form of foldable walls comprising several walls linked together and a handle which is capable of being pressed into the assembly of the walls.

On connaît des emballages en carton plié par exemple les emballages pour un ensemble d'une demi-douzaine de bou­teilles notamment de bière, qui consiste en un rouleau en carton plié carré ou d'une autre forme polygonale dont la partie supérieure comporte deux trous par lesquels l'ensemble peut être supporté en introduisant des doigts dans ces trous.Folded cardboard packaging is known, for example packaging for a set of half a dozen bottles, in particular beer, which consists of a roll of cardboard folded square or of another polygonal shape, the upper part of which has two holes by which the assembly can be supported by inserting fingers into these holes.

Ce genre d'emballage notamment quand il est utilisé pour emballer les objets d'un certain poids comme c'est le cas dans l'emballage d'un ensemble de six bouteilles de bière comporte l'inconvénient que les bords des trous pratiqués dans la partie supérieure de cet emballage s'appuient fortement contre les doigts en le portant et ils sont ainsi la cause d'un certain désagrément lorsqu'on doit porter cet ensemble pendant une certaine durée.This type of packaging, in particular when it is used to package objects of a certain weight, as is the case in the packaging of a set of six bottles of beer, has the drawback that the edges of the holes in the upper part of this packaging strongly bear against the fingers when carrying it and they are thus the cause of some inconvenience when it is necessary to wear this set during a certain duration.

Par ailleurs, sont connus des emballages en forme de parallélépipède en carton comprenant au moins deux ouvertures allongées dans lesquelles on peut introduire les extrémités libres d'une poignée,notamment en plastique, extrémités libres qui portent des élargissements qui, une fois introduits dans les ouvertures du carton dans l'orientation correspondante à l'ex­tension des ouvertures allongées, sont tournés de 90° afin d'être retenus à l'intérieur de l'emballage. Ainsi, les extrémités libres d'une poignée qui,elle-même, reste en saillie à l'ex­térieur de cet emballage, sont maintenues à l'intérieur de cette dernière et constituent ainsi une connexion entre la poignée et l'emballage.In addition, there are known packages in the form of a cardboard parallelepiped comprising at least two elongated openings into which the free ends of a handle, in particular plastic, can be introduced, free ends which bear enlargements which, once introduced into the openings cardboard in the orientation corresponding to the extension of the elongated openings, are rotated 90 ° so as to be retained inside the packaging. Thus, the free ends of a handle which, itself, protrudes outside this packaging, are held inside the latter and thus constitute a connection between the handle and the packaging.

Ce genre d'ensemble de poignée et emballage est relativement coûteux car les deux composants doivent être fabri­qués séparément et comportent en outre le désavantage que la poignée peut être complètement enlevée de l'emballage ce qui présente un risque de sa perte.This kind of handle and packaging assembly is relatively expensive since the two components have to be manufactured separately and furthermore has the disadvantage that the handle can be completely removed from the packaging which presents a risk of its loss.

La présente invention a pour objet de pallier les in­convénients de l'art antérieur et propose donc un article d'em­ballage comme mentionné ci-dessus qui est caractérisé en ce que la poignée est constituée d'une partie intégrale de l'ensemble de paroi, cette partie intégrale ayant une extrémité attachée à cet ensemble de paroi et une extrémité mobile qui est capable d'être mise en une première position telle que la poignée res­te intégralement dans le gabarit de l'ensemble de parois et une deuxième position où la poignée est en saillie de l'en­semble de parois.The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and therefore proposes a packaging article as mentioned above which is characterized in that the handle consists of an integral part of the wall assembly, this integral part having one end attached to this wall assembly and a movable end which is capable of being brought into a first position such that the handle remains integrally in the template of the wall assembly and a second position where the handle is projecting from the set of walls.

Un tel emballage offre l'avantage qu'il comporte une poignée par laquelle l'emballage peut être supporté sans désagrément même si l'emballage contient des marchandises plus lourdes.Such packaging has the advantage that it has a handle by which the packaging can be supported without inconvenience even if the packaging contains heavier goods.

En outre, l'emballage selon la présente invention comporte une poignée qui est une partie intégrale de l'embal­lage et en plus cette poignée peut être mise en deux positions différentes dont l'une est en saillie de l'emballage ce qui re­présente sa position de travail permettant sa saisie par un por­teur et une deuxième position dans laquelle la poignée est complètement enfoncée, notamment mise à fleur avec l'ensemble de paroi, dans une position qui permet de stocker plusieurs emballages l'un sur l'autre sans être encombrés par une poignée qui fait saillie au-dessus de la partie supérieure de cet emballage.In addition, the packaging according to the present invention comprises a handle which is an integral part of the packaging and in addition this handle can be put in two positions one of which protrudes from the packaging which represents its working position allowing it to be grasped by a carrier and a second position in which the handle is completely depressed, in particular flush with the wall assembly, in a position which allows several packages to be stored one on top of the other without being encumbered by a handle which projects above the upper part of this package.

Comme mentionné plus haut, la poignée de l'emballage selon la présente invention comporte une extrémité qui est liée intégralement avec le corps de l'emballage et une deu­xième extrémité mobile qui est maintenue en contact avec l'ensemble de paroi, telle qu'elle peut être glissée entre les deux positions décrites plus haut sans pourtant être dégagée de l'ensemble des parois.As mentioned above, the handle of the package according to the present invention has one end which is integrally connected with the body of the package and a second movable end which is held in contact with the wall assembly, such that it can be slid between the two positions described above without however being released from all of the walls.

Pour assurer le maintien de l'extrémité mobile de la poignée en contact avec l'ensemble de parois, cette extrémité mobile comporte un moyen de guidage par lequel elle glisse d'une position à l'autre, ce moyen de guidage coopérant avec une partie de l'ensemble de parois.To maintain the movable end of the handle in contact with the set of walls, this movable end includes a guide means by which it slides from one position to the other, this guide means cooperating with a part of the set of walls.

L'article d'emballage selon la présente invention peut être fabriqué d'une seule feuille de carton d'une forme plus ou moins allongée, feuille dont les extrémités sont retournées en se chevauchant pour former un rouleau dans lequel la poi­gnée est pratiquée dans la partie chevauchante des extrémités de cette feuille par découpage. De ce fait la partie de l'en­semble de parois qui coopère avec les moyens de guidage de l'extrémité mobile de la poignée est constituée par le contour de ce découpage de la poignée dans l'ensemble de parois.The packaging article according to the present invention can be made from a single sheet of cardboard of a more or less elongated shape, the sheet of which the ends are turned over by overlapping to form a roll in which the handle is formed in the overlapping part of the ends of this sheet by cutting. Therefore the part of the set of walls which cooperates with the means for guiding the movable end of the handle is formed by the outline of this cutout of the handle in the set of walls.

Le rouleau comme définit plus haut comprend donc dans sa partie chevauchante une couche supérieure et une couche inférieure qui sont partiellement collées l'une contre l'autre. La poignée étant pratiquée dans la partie de chevauchement ou sont collées la couche supérieure et inférieure consiste donc en une épaisseur de deux couches de parois ayant ainsi une rigidité renforcée ce qui assure le bon fonctionnement de la poignée.The roller as defined above therefore comprises in its overlapping part an upper layer and a lower layer which are partially glued against each other. The handle being formed in the overlapping part where the upper and lower layer are bonded therefore consists of a thickness of two layers of walls thus having a reinforced rigidity which ensures the proper functioning of the handle.

La poignée elle-même ayant aussi une couche supérieure et une couche inférieure est de forme plus ou moins allongée notam­ment de la forme d'une rectangulaire. Pendant que la couche supérieure de la poignée suit complètement cette forme, la cou­che inférieure correspond à cette forme sur la plus grande par­tie de sa longueur et comprend en outre une partie élargie à l'extrémité mobile de la poignée, cette extrémité mobile étant découpée de la couche inférieure de la partie chevauchée de l'ensemble de parois. Cette partie élargie sert comme arrêt contre le dégagement de la poignée hors de l'ouverture représen­tant le découpage de la poignée et elle assure ainsi le main­tien en contact de l'extrémité mobile de la poignée avec l'en­semble de parois.The handle itself also having an upper layer and a lower layer is of more or less elongated shape, in particular of the shape of a rectangular. While the upper layer of the handle completely follows this shape, the lower layer corresponds to this shape over most of its length and further comprises an enlarged part at the movable end of the handle, this movable end being cut from the bottom layer of the overlapped portion of the wall assembly. This enlarged part serves as a stop against the release of the handle from the opening representing the cutting of the handle and it thus maintains the contact of the movable end of the handle with the set of walls.

Les couches inférieure et supérieure de la partie chevau­chante de l'ensemble de parois sont partiellement collées seulement l'une sur l'autre, formant uns plage collée et une plage de libre chevauchement à la partie supérieure de l'emballage.The lower and upper layers of the overlapping part of the wall assembly are only partially bonded to one another, forming a bonded area and a free overlapping area at the top of the package.

La plage collée est formée par l'extrémité de la couche supérieure ainsi qu'une partie adjacente à l'extrémité de la couche inférieure qui sont entièrement collées l'une sur l'au­tre, alors que la partie de chevauchement libre comporte l'ex­trémité de la couche inférieure et une partie adjacente à l'ex­trémité de la couche supérieure, ces deux parties étant mainte­nues plus ou moins en parallèle mais sans être collées l'une sur l'autre.The bonded area is formed by the end of the upper layer as well as a part adjacent to the end of the lower layer which are entirely glued to each other, while the free overlapping part comprises the end. of the lower layer and a part adjacent to the end of the upper layer, these two parts being held more or less in parallel but without being glued to each other.

L'extrémité libre de la couche inférieure comporte une ligne de plis par laquelle elle est liée à ladite plage collée, ligne de plis qui comporte un découpage qui coopère avec la partie élargie de la poignée afin de constituer un ar­rêt pour le glissement de l'extrémité mobile dans le contour de découpage contenu dans la couche supérieure.The free end of the lower layer has a fold line through which it is linked to said bonded area, fold line which has a cutout which cooperates with the enlarged part of the handle in order to constitute a stop for the sliding of the movable end in the cutting contour contained in the upper layer.

Le découpage de la poignée dans la partie chevauchan­te de l'ensemble de parois est positionné tel que les deux positions de l'extrémité mobile de la poignée se trouvent à l'intérieur de la plage collée, ce qui assure une rigidité ma­ximale de l'engagement entre l'extrémité mobile de la poignée et l'ensemble de parois.The cutout of the handle in the overlapping part of the wall assembly is positioned such that the two positions of the movable end of the handle are at inside the bonded area, which ensures maximum rigidity of the engagement between the movable end of the handle and the set of walls.

La partie supérieure de l'ensemble de parois peut avoir des trous aux deux côtés de la poignée qui facilitent l'introduction des doigts dans l'ensemble des parois pour en retirer la poignée.The upper part of the wall assembly may have holes on both sides of the handle which facilitate the insertion of the fingers into the wall assembly to remove the handle.

L'emballage selon la présente invention peut être utilisé pour englober plusieurs unités d'emballages indivi­duels telles que pour des petites unités de nourritures comme des oeufs, des yaourths, ou autres ou pour enrober un seul ar­ticle.The packaging according to the present invention can be used to encompass several units of individual packaging such as for small units of foods such as eggs, yogurts, or the like or to coat a single article.

L'emballage de la présente invention est particulière­ment avantageux pour l'emballage des oeufs et plus particuliè­rement pour l'enveloppement de plusieurs emballages d'oeufs classiques du type dit alvéole dont les unités supérieures ont des parties inférieures qui sont en saillie vers le bas, s'engagent dans les parties creuses del'unité d'emballage inférieure.The packaging of the present invention is particularly advantageous for packaging eggs and more particularly for wrapping several conventional egg packaging of the so-called alveolus type, the upper units of which have lower parts which project downwards, engage in the hollow parts of the lower packaging unit.

Dans les figures 1 à 5, est illustré un article d'em­ballage dans des stades de production ou utilisation diffé­rents, articles d'emballage qui consistent essentiellement d'une bande d'une forme rectangulaire allongée en général qui pour réaliser l'article d'emballage selon la présente inven­tion est enroulé pour former un rouleau polygonal. Cette ban­de rectangulaire généralement dessinée en 1 comprend plu­sieurs plages 4, 5, 6, 4′ 5′ qui sont séparées l'une de l'au­tre par des plis 8, 9, 3. Les deux plages 4 et 5 sont desti­nées pour être superposées aux plages 4′, 5′ lors de l'enrou­lement de la bande 1 comme illustré dans la figure 2. Une partie 14 de forme rectangulaire allongée est partiellement découpée à travers des plages 4 et 5 de façon à maintenir une connexion intégrale avec la plage 5 le long du pli 9 ainsi formant à cet endroit l'extrémité fixe 7 d'une poignée qui sera définit par la suite. La ligne de découpage 14a qui court le long du reste du rectangle de cette partie décou­pée comprend deux lignes de découpage suivant les côtés longs du rectangle 11 et une autre ligne courte 13 opposée à l'ex­trémité fixe 7, la ligne 13 constituant l'extrémité mobile de la poignée. Cette bande découpée 11 qui comprend des parties 10, et 12, séparées par des plis, va être superposée à la bande 11′ pratiquée dans les plages 4′ et 5′ lors de l'enrou­lement de la bande 1. La plage 4 va être collée sur la pla­ge 4′ de façon que l'extrémité mobile 13 vienne en appui sur la partie élargie 18 de la bande 11′ alors que la plage 5 viendra en appui contre la plage 5′ sans être collée. La ban­de 11′ traversant les plages 4′ et 5′ comprend également une extrémité fixe 7′ et une extrémité libre qui est constituée par la partie élargie 18. Par découpage 16, une partie 17 de la plage 4′ est complètement découpée. Ce découpage 16 se défile de façon continue des extrémités de la partie élar­gie 18 jusqu'à la ligne de plis 8′ qu'il découpe à une certai­ne distance de la bande 11′ pour former un arrêt 19. Cet arrêt 19 servira comme décrit plus loin pour arrêter la par­tie élargie 18 de la bande 11′ lors de son extraction à la fin de laquelle le rebord 20 de la partie élargie 18 vient en appui contre l'arrêt 19. Du côté ou de l'autre de la bande 11, sont appliqués des trous 15 qui vont être superpo­sés aux parties découpées 15′ de la plage 5, de façon à permettre l'introduction d'un doigt en-dessous de la poignée constituée par des bandes 14 et 11′, pour faciliter son ex­traction.In Figures 1 to 5 is illustrated a packaging article in different stages of production or use, packaging articles which consist essentially of a strip of an elongated rectangular shape in general which to achieve the packaging article according to the present invention is wound to form a polygonal roll. This rectangular strip generally drawn at 1 comprises several areas 4, 5, 6, 4 ′ 5 ′ which are separated from each other by folds 8, 9, 3. The two areas 4 and 5 are intended to be superimposed at areas 4 ′, 5 ′ during the winding of the strip 1 as illustrated in FIG. 2. A portion 14 of elongated rectangular shape is partially cut through areas 4 and 5 so as to maintain an integral connection with the area 5 along the fold 9 thus forming at this location the fixed end 7 of a handle which will be defined later. The cutting line 14a which runs along the rest of the rectangle of this cut part comprises two cutting lines along the long sides of the rectangle 11 and another short line 13 opposite the fixed end 7, the line 13 constituting the end movable handle. This cut strip 11 which comprises parts 10, and 12, separated by folds, will be superimposed on the strip 11 ′ practiced in ranges 4 ′ and 5 ′ during the winding of the strip 1. The range 4 will be bonded to the pad 4 ′ so that the movable end 13 comes to bear on the widened part 18 of the strip 11 ′ while the pad 5 will come to bear against the pad 5 ′ without being bonded. The strip 11 ′ crossing the areas 4 ′ and 5 ′ also includes a fixed end 7 ′ and a free end which is constituted by the enlarged part 18. By cutting 16, a part 17 of the range 4 ′ is completely cut. This cut 16 is continuously scrolled from the ends of the widened part 18 to the fold line 8 ′ which it cuts at a certain distance from the strip 11 ′ to form a stop 19. This stop 19 will serve as described more far to stop the widened part 18 of the strip 11 ′ during its extraction at the end of which the rim 20 of the widened part 18 bears against the stop 19. On either side of the strip 11, holes 15 are applied which will be superimposed on the cut parts 15 ′ of the area 5, so as to allow the insertion of a finger below the handle constituted by bands 14 and 11 ′, to facilitate its extraction.

Dans la figure 2, les bandes 11 et 11′ sont superpo­sées et on peut s'imaginer que la bande en carton 1, qui cons­titue l'ensemble des parois de l'emballage, peut être repliée à plat en pliant complètement les lignes de plis 6′ et 6˝ pour former un rouleau aplati et ainsi faciliter le stockage de ces articles d'emballage. La poignée 14, restant dans le gabarit du rouleau polygonal de la figure 2, est illustrée dans sa position extraite dans la figure 3. En introduisant les doigts dans les ouvertures 15, on saisit la partie centrale de la poignée 14 et en la soulevant la partie élargie 18 de la bande 11′ est tirée vers le haut pour venir en appui contre la ligne de plis 8′. L'extrémité libre 13, 18 de la poignée 14 comprend donc deux positions, l'une d'entre eux étant illustrée dans la figure 2 et l'autre dans la figure 3. Cette extrémité libre est donc guidée par les lignes de décou­page 14a de la bande 11 telle, que la partie élargie 18 et, notamment son rebord 20, s'appuient contre la partie de la pla­ge 4 qui est derrière l'ouverture 17, assurant ainsi que la partie 18 ne peut pas être extraite en dehors de la plage 4.In FIG. 2, the strips 11 and 11 ′ are superimposed and it can be imagined that the cardboard strip 1, which constitutes all of the walls of the package, can be folded flat by completely folding the fold lines 6 ′ and 6˝ to form a flattened roll and thus facilitate the storage of these packaging articles. The handle 14, remaining in the template of the polygonal roller of FIG. 2, is illustrated in its extracted position in FIG. 3. By inserting the fingers into the openings 15, the central part of the handle 14 is grasped and by lifting it up. widened part 18 of the strip 11 ′ is pulled upwards to come into abutment against the fold line 8 ′. The free end 13, 18 of the handle 14 therefore comprises two positions, one of them being illustrated in FIG. 2 and the other in FIG. 3. This free end is therefore guided by the cutting lines 14a of the strip 11 such that the widened part 18 and, in particular its rim 20, bear against the part of the pad 4 which is behind the opening 17, thus ensuring that the part 18 cannot be extracted outside track 4.

La figure 4 qui représente la même position que la figure 3 montre de façon plus directe la position supé­rieure de l'extrémité libre de la poignée 14, cette posi­tion étant illustrée plus en détail dans la figure 5.FIG. 4, which represents the same position as FIG. 3, shows more directly the upper position of the free end of the handle 14, this position being illustrated in more detail in FIG. 5.

Pour des raisons de clarté, la figure 5 montre, seulement les deux plages 4′ et 5′ qui sont superposées par des plages 4 et 5 de l'ensemble des parois, dont les plages intérieures 4′ et 5′ portent une hachure dans le sens longi­tudinal par rapport à la bande 1 de la figure 1 alors que les plages 4 et 5 portent une hachure transversale pour mieux illustrer le jeu de l'extrémité libre de la poignée 14. La plage 4′ comprend un découpage 16 formant un vide 17, dont la partie la plus élargie contient la partie 18 de la bande 11′ quand la poignée est dans sa position enfoncée. La pla­ge 4′ est collée contre la plage 4, qui lui est superposée, de façon à effectivement réduire l'ouverture 17 à une ouverture correspondant à la ligne de découpage 14a pratiquée dans la plage 4. La bande 11 qui est découpée de la plage 4 le long de la ligne 14a est collée contre la bande 11′ de la plage 4′ pour assurer le déplacement simultané des deux bandes 11 et 11′. Lors de son arrivée à sa position supérieure, la partie 18 de la bande 11′ s'appuie contre la ligne de plis 8′ ou plus géné­ralement contre la plage 5′, qui comprend deux coins 22, formés par des découpages 21 et les lignes de découpage de la bande 11′. A son arrivée dans sa position supérieure, le rebord 20 de la partie 18 va s'engager dans la ligne de découpage 21, des coins 22 de la plage 5′ et l'extrémité mobile 13, 18 de la poignée 14 va ainsi être maintenue dans cette position extrême. Il est évident qu'en appuyant contre la poignée 14′ la partie libre de cette dernière peut être remportée dans sa position inférieure illustrée dans la figure 2, pour complè­tement enfoncer la poignée 14 dans l'ensemble des parois. Comme illustré dans la figure 5, la plage 5′ peut comporter des parties 15a qui sont découpées de la plage 5′ de façon à être enfoncées vers l'intérieur du rouleau ou ils peuvent constituer des arêtes pour des unités d'emballage qui sont mises en position à l'intérieur du rouleau. De la même façon, une ou plusieurs des autres parois ou plages peuvent comporter d'autres parties partiellement découpées comme des parties 15a pour les mêmes buts.For reasons of clarity, FIG. 5 shows, only the two areas 4 ′ and 5 ′ which are superimposed by areas 4 and 5 of the set of walls, the interior areas 4 ′ and 5 ′ of which are hatched in the longitudinal direction with respect to the strip 1 of FIG. 1 while the areas 4 and 5 have a transverse hatching to better illustrate the play of the free end of the handle 14. The area 4 ′ comprises a cutout 16 forming a void 17 , the widest part of which contains part 18 of the strip 11 ′ when the handle is in its depressed position. The area 4 ′ is glued against the area 4, which is superimposed on it, so as to effectively reduce the opening 17 to an opening corresponding to the cutting line 14a made in the area 4. The strip 11 which is cut from the area 4 along the line 14a is glued against the strip 11 ′ of the area 4 ′ to ensure the simultaneous movement of the two strips 11 and 11 ′. When it arrives at its upper position, the part 18 of the strip 11 ′ bears against the fold line 8 ′ or more generally against the pad 5 ′, which comprises two corners 22, formed by cutouts 21 and the lines cutting the strip 11 ′. On its arrival in its upper position, the rim 20 of the part 18 will engage in the cutting line 21, the corners 22 of the range 5 ′ and the movable end 13, 18 of the handle 14 will thus be maintained in this extreme position. It is obvious that by pressing against the handle 14 ′ the free part of the latter can be won in its lower position illustrated in FIG. 2, in order to completely push the handle 14 into all of the walls. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the range 5 ′ may comprise parts 15a which are cut from the range 5 ′ so as to be pressed towards the inside of the roll or they may constitute edges for packaging units which are placed in position inside the roller. Likewise, one or more of the other walls or areas may have other parts partially cut out as parts 15a for the same purposes.

Les emballages selon la présente invention sont particulièrement avantageux pour envelopper un ensemble des sous-emballages individuels tels que les emballages alvéolés pour des oeufs, dont on pourrait envisager d'assembler une unité à six oeufs dans un premier étage, une deuxième unité de douze oeufs dans un étage intermédiaire et un troisième étage d'une unité à six oeufs encore pour former un ensemble d'un gabarit hexagonal qui sera étroitement suivi par le rouleau hexagonal comme décrit dans un mode de réalisation de la présente invention.The packages according to the present invention are particularly advantageous for wrapping a set of individual sub-packages such as blister packages for eggs, which one could consider assembling a unit with six eggs in a first stage, a second unit with twelve eggs in an intermediate stage and a third stage of a unit with six eggs again to form a set of a hexagonal gauge which will be closely followed by the hexagonal roller as described in an embodiment of the present invention.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exem­ples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, notamment en ce qui concerne la forme de la bande 1 ou la forme du rou­leau ainsi qu'en ce qui concerne la forme de la poignée notam­ment de son extrémité libre. L'emballage selon la présente in­vention peut également être réalisé en matériau différent, du carton étant le matériau le plus avantageux du point de vue fabrication et coût.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described, in particular with regard to the shape of the strip 1 or the shape of the roller as well as with regard to the shape of the handle in particular of its free end. The packaging according to the present invention can also be made of a different material, cardboard being the most advantageous material from the manufacturing and cost point of view.
