Description

L'invention a pour objet un ensemble de conditionnement et de présentation d'articles tels que de l'outillage par exemple.The subject of the invention is a set of packaging and presentation of articles such as tools for example.

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique de l'em­ballage et de la présentation de petits articles.The invention relates to the technical sector of packaging and presentation of small articles.

La vente de petits articles, du type outillage à main, et petits équipements électriques, peut s'effectuer soit par une présentation de chaque article sur un support déterminé, tel que présentatoir étiquette, en matière plastique ou autres, ou emballage à coque plastique, soit en vrac sur des rayonnages ou bacs de réception. Le choix de l'un ou l'autre de ces types de commercialisation dépend de chaque fabricant et/ou commerçant en fonction de sa stratégie personnelle de vente.The sale of small articles, of the hand tool type, and small electrical equipment, can be carried out either by a presentation of each article on a determined support, such as display label, plastic or other material, or plastic shell packaging, either in bulk on shelves or receiving bins. The choice of one or the other of these types of marketing depends on each manufacturer and / or trader according to his personal sales strategy.

Dans le cas particulier des bacs remplis d'articles, leur manipulation n'est pas aisée, la gestion des stocks n'est pas pratique.In the particular case of bins filled with articles, their handling is not easy, inventory management is not practical.

Le but recherché selon l'invention vise un nouveau concept de présentation d'articles en bacs mis à la disposition temporaire du commerçant qui tout en garantissant une présenta­tion adaptée et nette des articles, offre au commerçant une sim­plicité et une facilité de gestion de ses commandes, achats pour la clientèle et supprime pour lui la quasi-totalité d'une ges­tion de stocks. L'ensemble du conditionnement-présentoir selon l'invention permet des présentations d'articles variés pendant des périodes ponctuelles en tous lieux de vente en limitant au maximum les différentes manipulations.The aim sought after according to the invention is a new concept of presentation of items in containers made available to the merchant temporarily which, while guaranteeing an adapted and clear presentation of the articles, offers the merchant a simplicity and an ease of management of his orders. , purchases for customers and eliminates for him almost all of an inventory management. All of the packaging-display according to the invention allows presentations of various articles during specific periods at all points of sale while limiting the various manipulations as much as possible.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, l'ensemble comprend au moins un module de plusieurs bacs gerba­bles de longueur dégressive et disposés en position les uns des autres en définissant au moins d'un côté un plan incliné homogè­ne, le ou lesdits modules de bacs étant disposés sur une palette ou support de préhension, une housse formant ossature rigide de forme et volume assurant le recouvrement et la totalité du ou des modules de bacs, et un ou des moyens de garnissage de volume complémentaire à l'espace resté libre après insertion de la housse autour des modules de bacs, le ou lesdits moyens de gar­nissage présentant au moins un panneau venant en appui ferme sur la face avant profilée de chaque bac et assurant une obturation totale de celle-ci.According to a first characteristic of the invention, the assembly comprises at least one module of several stackable bins of declining length and arranged in position from one another by defining at least on one side a homogeneous inclined plane, the said module or modules trays being arranged on a pallet or gripping support, a cover forming a rigid frame of shape and volume ensuring the recovery and all of the tray module (s), and one or more filling means of volume complementary to the space remaining free after insertion of cover around the tank modules, said lining means or said means having at least one panel coming into firm abutment on the profiled front face of each tank and ensuring a total sealing thereof.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will emerge clearly from the following description.

Pour fixer l'object de l'invention illustrée d'une manière non limitative aux figures des dessins où:

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective avant monta­ge des différents éléments constitutifs de l'ensemble condition­nement-présentoir selon l'invention,

  • - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale selon la ligne AA de la figure 2,
  • - la figure 4 est une vue à caractère schématique illustrant la palettisation de huit modules de bacs à titre d'exemple,
  • - la figure 5 est une vue en variante du positionne­ment des modules de bacs dans la housse,
  • - la figure 6 est une vue en variante d'un module de bacs.
To fix the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in the figures of the drawings where:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view before mounting of the various constituent elements of the packaging-display unit according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating the packaging-display unit during unpacking,
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line AA in FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the palletization of eight container modules by way of example,
  • FIG. 5 is an alternative view of the positioning of the container modules in the cover,
  • - Figure 6 is an alternative view of a container module.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

L'ensemble conditionnement-présentoir comprend tout d'abord une pluralité de groupes ou modules de bacs (B) gerba­bles de longueur dégressive et disposée en position les uns par rapport aux autres de manière à définir au moins d'un côté un plan incliné homogène et continu. Par exemple, selon les figures 1, 2 et 3, ces bacs sont tous disposés par rapport à un plan arrière de référence constitué par les faces de fond verticales. En variante, selon la figure 6, les bacs sont agencés sans face de fond et se positionnent par rapport au plan médian de symé­trie.The packaging-display unit firstly comprises a plurality of groups or modules of stackable containers (B) of declining length and positioned in relation to one another so as to define at least one side a homogeneous inclined plane and continuous. For example, according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, these tanks are all arranged with respect to a rear reference plane constituted by the vertical bottom faces. As a variant, according to FIG. 6, the tanks are arranged without a bottom face and are positioned relative to the median plane of symmetry.

Les bacs sont réalisés en tous matériaux appropriés tels que cartonnages, matière plastique et autres. Chaque module comprend par exemple et non limitativement, les bacs superposés (1, 2, 3, 4) de même longueur et se positionnant les uns aux autres par rapport à leur plan arrière ou leur plan médian de symétrie, en s'appuyant sur leurs chants supérieurs longitudi­naux (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1). Afin d'assurer leur centrage, chaque bac présente dans le prolongement des ses côtés longitudinaux, une ou des languettes (1-2, 2-2, 3-2) verticales susceptibles de s'insérer dans une ou des ouvertures (1-3, 2-3, 3-3, 4-3) ména­gées sur chaque flanc longitudinal de chacun des bacs. On peut envisager également de disposer une languette de retenue à par­tir du flanc transversal arrière de chaque bac dans le cas des figures 1, 2 et 3, et également une ouverture correspondante sur le chant inférieur de fond du bac.The bins are made of all suitable materials such as cardboard, plastic and others. Each module includes, for example and without limitation, the superimposed tanks (1, 2, 3, 4) of the same length and positioning each other with respect to their rear plane or their median plane of symmetry, based on their longitudinal upper edges (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1). In order to ensure their centering, each tray has, in the extension of its longitudinal sides, one or more vertical tabs (1-2, 2-2, 3-2) capable of being inserted in one or more openings (1-3 , 2-3, 3-3, 4-3) formed on each longitudinal flank of each of the tanks. One can also consider having a retaining tab from the rear transverse flank of each tray in the case of Figures 1, 2 and 3, and also a corresponding opening on the bottom edge of the tray.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les faces avant (1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 4-4) des différents bacs se présentent avec un double plan, avec une face inclinée vers l'avant angu­lairement définissant entre elles un seul et même plan P continu et homogène ayant une double fonction qui sera exposée par la suite et une face inclinée (1-5, 2-5, 3-5, 4-5) vers l'arrière ou au plus verticale, de raccordement avec la paroi de fond. Ainsi, de par les formes à double paroi de la face avant des bacs, on peut avoir accès sans difficulté au contenu de chacun d'eux.According to a characteristic of the invention, the front faces (1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 4-4) of the different tanks are presented with a double plane, with a face inclined towards the front angularly defining therebetween one and the same continuous and homogeneous plane P having a double function which will be exposed subsequently and an inclined face (1-5, 2-5, 3-5, 4-5) rearward or at most vertical, of connection with the back wall. Thus, by the double-walled shapes of the front face of the tanks, one can have access without difficulty to the content of each of them.

On utilise ainsi plusieurs modules de bacs (M1) (M2) (M3) (M4) par exemple disposés sur une palette P, les modules étant disposés de manière à faire apparaître une forme triangu­lée ou pyramidale. Par exemple, sur une palette ou autre support de préhension (11) dont les dimensions sont de 1200 mm par 1200 mm, on peut disposer 8 modules de bac de dimensions au sol de 600 mm par 30 mm, les modules étant présentés face arrière con­tre face arrière. On obtient sur une surface au sol très réduite et peu encombrante, une présentation et offre en vente d'une quantité considérable d'articles. Il n'est pas exclu par ail­ leurs que certains des bacs et en particulier le bac supérieur soient aménagés avec des séparations intérieures pour recevoir des articles de nature ou dimensions différentes.Several modules of tanks (M1) (M2) (M3) (M4) are thus used, for example arranged on a pallet P, the modules being arranged so as to reveal a triangulated or pyramidal shape. For example, on a pallet or other gripping support (11) whose dimensions are 1200 mm by 1200 mm, it is possible to have 8 bin modules with dimensions of 600 mm by 30 mm on the ground, the modules being presented rear-facing back side. We obtain on a very small and space-saving ground surface, a presentation and offer for sale of a considerable quantity of articles. It is not excluded by garlic their that some of the bins and in particular the upper bin are fitted with internal partitions to receive articles of different nature or dimensions.

Les modules de bacs ainsi constitués et disposés sur palettes, l'ensemble conditionnement-présentoir comprend deux moyens complémentaires à savoir tout d'abord une housse (5) de forme et volume susceptible de recouvrir la totalité des modules disposés sur la palette avec un certain ajustement. Cette housse formant ossature est réalisée en matériau rigide, tel que carton et recouvre les modules sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier la position des bacs sur la palette. Pour assurer la tenue de l'ensemble et éviter l'échappement des articles hors de leurs bacs, on dispose dans le conditionnement obtenu après mise en place de la housse, une ou des garnitures (6) dont la forme et le volume sont complémentaires afin de remplir totalement l'es­pace vide non rempli lorsque la housse coiffe lesdits modules de bacs. Ces garnitures sont récupérables et avantageusement en carton, pliable ou non, ou en mousse de polyuréthane. Ces garni­tures présentent avantageusement au moins un panneau (6-1) sus­ceptible de venir en appui sur les faces avant (1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 4-­4) de chaque bac qui assure ainsi l'obturation totale de la face avant du ou des modules évitant l'échappement des articles. Si l'on fait référence à la structure triangulaire des modules du bac, la garniture présente une forme complémentaire en trian­gulation susceptible de venir étroitement en appui contre l'en semble des faces avant des différents bacs. Si l'on veut éviter un transfert latéral des articles d'un bac à un autre, on intro­duira des intercalaires (7) escamotables, essentiellement lors de l'opération d'enlèvement des bacs pour conserver une certaine esthétique à l'ensemble. On peut également disposer entre les faces arrière des différents modules un ou des panneaux entre­toises (8) de rigidification ou susceptibles de servir de moyen d'affichage d'information ou de marquage.The modules of trays thus formed and arranged on pallets, the packaging-display unit comprises two complementary means, namely firstly a cover (5) of shape and volume capable of covering all of the modules placed on the pallet with a certain adjustment. This frame forming cover is made of rigid material, such as cardboard and covers the modules without the need to modify the position of the containers on the pallet. To ensure the holding of the assembly and avoid the escape of the articles out of their bins, one has in the packaging obtained after fitting the cover, one or more linings (6) whose shape and volume are complementary so to completely fill the empty unfilled space when the cover covers said modules of tanks. These linings are recoverable and advantageously in cardboard, foldable or not, or in polyurethane foam. These linings advantageously have at least one panel (6-1) capable of coming to bear on the front faces (1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 4-4) of each tank which thus ensures the total sealing of the front face of the module or modules preventing the escape of articles. If reference is made to the triangular structure of the modules of the tank, the lining has a complementary triangular shape capable of coming to bear closely against all of the front faces of the different tanks. If we want to avoid a lateral transfer of articles from one bin to another, we will introduce retractable dividers (7), essentially during the bin removal operation to maintain a certain aesthetic to the whole. It is also possible to have, between the rear faces of the different modules, one or more spacer panels (8) for stiffening or capable of serving as a means of displaying information or marking.

L'ensemble de conditionnement et de présentation se­lon l'invention est particulièrement pratique et avantageusement facile à utiliser. Le fournisseur d'articles peut ainsi en ses établissements approvisionner chaque module de bacs à sa conve­nance, les bacs étant ou non sur palettes. Lorsque la sélection d'articles est faite et que les modules de bacs sont sur la pa­lette, l'operation prend une housse (5) ou similaire et l'engage sur la palette coiffant ainsi l'ensemble des modules de bacs. En position, la house fait ainsi apparaître un volume intérieur non rempli situé en regard des faces avant des bacs. L'opérateur complète alors en introduisant un garnissage approprié dont le volume correspond au volume manquant et par simple appui et pression, ce garnissage prend position en s'intégrant totalement dans la housse et en venant en appui ferme par le ou les pan­neaux (6-1) en regard des différents pans avant situés d'un même côté des bacs.The packaging and presentation unit according to the invention is particularly practical and advantageously easy to use. The supplier of articles can thus in his establishments supply each module of bins at his convenience, the bins being or not on pallets. When the selection of articles is made and the modules of trays are on the pallet, the operation takes a cover (5) or the like and engages it on the pallet thus covering all the modules of trays. In position, the house thus reveals an unfilled interior volume located opposite the front faces of the tanks. The operator then completes by introducing an appropriate padding whose volume corresponds to the missing volume and by simple pressing and pressure, this padding takes position by integrating completely into the cover and coming into firm support by the panel or panels (6- 1) opposite the different front panels located on the same side of the tanks.

On a représenté à la figure 5 une variante du condi­tionnement. Dans ce cas, les modules de bacs, au lieu d'être accolés l'un à l'autre par leurs faces arrière, présentent leurs faces avant en regard. Le garnissage (9) est agencé avec une forme triangulée isocèle, les panneaux (9-1, 9-2) venant en ap­pui et obturation sur les pans inclinés avant des bacs. Dans cette mise en oeuvre cependant, l'opérateur devra redisposer les modules de bacs sur la palette lors de la présentation au public pour que ceux-ci soient faciles d'accès à la clientèle.FIG. 5 shows a variant of the packaging. In this case, the tank modules, instead of being joined to one another by their rear faces, have their front faces facing each other. The lining (9) is arranged with an isosceles triangulated shape, the panels (9-1, 9-2) coming to bear and closing on the inclined faces before the tanks. In this implementation, however, the operator will have to rearrange the container modules on the pallet during the presentation to the public so that they are easy to access for customers.

Un tel ensemble selon l'invention est pratique. Le fournisseur d'articles introduit lui-même les articles dans les bacs dans des quantités et références désirées.Such an assembly according to the invention is practical. The article supplier himself introduces the articles into the bins in desired quantities and references.

Il livre et met à la disposition du commerçant les différents modules de bacs présentés sur palette. Après une cer­taine période, le fournisseur reprend possession des différents modules de bacs, établit un inventaire des articles vendus par le commerçant, puis réemballe l'ensemble dont il va reconstituer les stocks après, en modifiant éventuellement les références d'articles.He delivers and makes available to the merchant the different modules of trays presented on a pallet. After a certain period, the supplier repossesses the various modules of trays, draws up an inventory of the items sold by the merchant, then repackages the assembly, the stocks of which he will then replenish, possibly modifying the item references.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le conditionne­ment peut très bien être adapté pour un seul module de bacs, l'intérêt étant bien entendu d'en avoir plusieurs pour augmenter le choix et la diversité des propositions à la clientèle poten­tielle. On peut comme illustré figure 6, réaliser des bacs ayant deux faces d'accès, les bacs étant alors gerbables par rapport à leur plan médian de symétrie.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the packaging can very well be adapted for a single container module, the interest being of course to have several to increase the choice and diversity of proposals to potential customers. As illustrated in FIG. 6, it is possible to produce containers having two access faces, the containers then being stackable relative to their median plane of symmetry.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On sou­ligne le nouveau concept d'utilisation de l'ensemble condition­nement-présentoir, la facilité donnée aux commerçants à gérer et à limiter leur stocks d'articles, la mise en oeuvre facile due conditionnement et sa transformation en présentoir et vice-ver­sa. On souligne également le faible coût de revient de l'ensem­ble.The advantages emerge clearly from the invention. We highlight the new concept of using the packaging-display unit, the ease given to traders to manage and limit their stocks of articles, the easy implementation of packaging and its transformation into a display and vice versa. The low cost price of the assembly is also underlined.

On souligne également la possiblité de superposer plusieurs ensembles en vue de leur transport. Par exemple, cha­que ensemble peut être d'un poids allant jusqu'à 400 Kilo­grammes. Aussi si deux ensembles sont superposés lors du trans­port, on réduit considérablement le coût au m2 de surface utili­sée.It also highlights the possibility of superimposing several sets for transport. For example, each set can weigh up to 400 Kilograms. Also if two sets are superimposed during transport, the cost per m2 of surface is considerably reduced.
