Description

En l'état actuel de la technique, on connait des boîtes, réalisées en deux parties dont l'une forme un boîtier oblong, ouvert sur une de ses grandes faces pour permettre l'introduction de la bouteille, tandis que l'autre est formée par un fourreau tubulaire dans lequel on engage ledit boîtier.In the current state of the art, boxes are known, produced in two parts, one of which forms an oblong box, open on one of its large faces to allow the introduction of the bottle, while the other is formed by a tubular sheath in which said housing is engaged.

Jusqu'à présent, ces boîtes permettaient uniquement de réaliser un paquet pouvant être facilement enveloppé et n'avaient plus d'usage après extraction de la bouteille.Until now, these boxes only allowed to make a package that could be easily wrapped and were no longer used after extraction from the bottle.

Lorsque la boîte renferme une bouteille, contenant un vin de qualité, cette dernière est généralement placée, après extraction, dans un panier à bouteille dans lequel ladite bouteille repose en position semi-couchée, ledit panier permettant aussi de servir le vin.When the box contains a bottle containing a quality wine, the latter is generally placed, after extraction, in a bottle basket in which said bottle rests in a semi-lying position, said basket also serving the wine.

L'objet de la présente invention est de réaliser une boîte pouvant facilement être transformée en panier à bouteille et être utilisée à cet usage.The object of the present invention is to provide a box which can easily be transformed into a bottle basket and be used for this purpose.

Selon l'invention, le boîtier comporte des moyens permettant de le manipuler et d'assurer le maintien de la bouteille en position semi-allongée.According to the invention, the box comprises means making it possible to manipulate it and to ensure that the bottle is held in the semi-extended position.

L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre,faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'example indicatif seulement, sur lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une vue de dessus conforme à l'invention,le fourreau extérieur étant partiellement arraché ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en élévation et en coupe montrant l'utilisation du boîtier en panier à bouteille;
  • La figure 3 est une vue partielle et en perspective montrant un détail de réalisation;
  • La figure 4 est une vue en plan montrant une découpe, à plat, permettant de réaliser le boîtier conforme aux figures 1 à 3.
The invention will be better understood from the description which follows, made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of illustrative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a top view according to the invention, the outer sheath being partially cut away;
  • Figure 2 is an elevational and sectional view showing the use of the bottle basket housing;
  • Figure 3 is a partial perspective view showing a detail of embodiment;
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a cutout, flat, making it possible to produce the box in accordance with FIGS. 1 to 3.

En se reportant aux dessins et selon un mode de réalisation, on voit que, de la façon connue, la boîte se compose de deux parties, à savoir un boîtier 1, oblong et prismatique, pouvant être engagé dans un fourreau tubulaire 2.Referring to the drawings and according to one embodiment, it can be seen that, in the known manner, the box consists of two parts, namely a housing 1, oblong and prismatic, which can be engaged in a tubular sheath 2.

Selon l'invention, le boîtier 1 présente le long du bord supérieur de chacune de ses grandes faces 3 un volet 4 et le long du bord supérieur de l'une de ses petites faces 5 un volet 6.According to the invention, the housing 1 has along the upper edge of each of its large faces 3 a flap 4 and along from the upper edge of one of its small faces 5 a flap 6.

Le volet 6 se raccorde à ceux 4 par l'entremise d'un soufflet en deux parties 7 et 8.The flap 6 is connected to those 4 by means of a bellows in two parts 7 and 8.

Lorsque le boîtier 1 est engagé dans son fourreau 2, le volet 6 est rabattu contre ceux 4 ,comme cela ressort de la figure 1.When the housing 1 is engaged in its sheath 2, the flap 6 is folded against those 4, as is apparent from FIG. 1.

Le soulèvement du volet 6 détermine celui des volets 4.The lifting of flap 6 determines that of flaps 4.

Le volet 6 présente le long de son bord supérieur une échancrure 9 de réception du goulot G d'une bouteille B.The flap 6 has along its upper edge a notch 9 for receiving the neck G of a bottle B.

Le bord supérieur de la petite face 10 du boîtier présente une patte, en trois parties 11,12 et 13, pouvant être repliée comme montré sur la figure 2 pour former un appui pour le fond de la bouteille, la longueur de la partie 13, extrême, étant supérieure à celle de la partie 11 se raccordant à la face 10. Chacun des volets 4 présente une ouverture 14. De cette façon, les volets 4 constituent des anses permettant de manipuler le boîtier et de verser le vin contenu dans la bouteille B.The upper edge of the small face 10 of the housing has a tab, in three parts 11, 12 and 13, which can be folded up as shown in FIG. 2 to form a support for the bottom of the bottle, the length of part 13, extreme, being greater than that of the part 11 connecting to the face 10. Each of the flaps 4 has an opening 14. In this way, the flaps 4 constitute handles making it possible to manipulate the case and to pour the wine contained in the bottle B.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes et dimensions.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of shapes and dimensions.

C'est ainsi, entre autres,que les volets 4 peuvent être supprimés. Dans ce cas, la partie 8 du soufflet se raccorde direc­tement le long du bord supérieur de la face 3 et des ouvertures 14a sont prévues dans lesdites faces, ces modifications sont montrées en traits mixtes sur la figure 4.Thus, among other things, the flaps 4 can be deleted. In this case, the part 8 of the bellows is connected directly along the upper edge of the face 3 and openings 14a are provided in the said faces, these modifications are shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4.

C'est ainsi,encore, que la partie centrale 12 de la patte repliable peut présenter une ouverture 15 permettant d'engager le goulot G de la bouteille pour assurer son maintien durant le transport.Thus, again, the central part 12 of the folding tab can have an opening 15 making it possible to engage the neck G of the bottle to ensure its maintenance during transport.
