Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of grouping articles on a support.
  • the invention also relates to the means for implementing this method as well as to the batches of articles grouped according to this method.
  • the invention relates more particularly but not exclusively to the grouping of boxes or pots in batches which can be handled by a person.
  • the invention specifically concerns the grouping of articles intended to be placed on support plans for the exhibition for sale or storage.
  • the disadvantage of this grouping process is the need to deposit the glue just when grouping the articles and then keep the articles and the support firmly applied to each other for a long time.
  • this adhesive and this method are not suitable for heavier items, such as cans of food or drink and jars of mustard or condiments.
  • the subject of the invention is a method of grouping articles, in particular characterized in that the adhesive is chosen from those which are substantially pasty which, on the one hand, although superficially dry, has adhesive properties by contact and, on the other hand, after exposure to the open air, remains pasty in particular under the conditions of atmospheric pressure of temperature and normal hygrometry.
  • the invention also relates to the means for implementing this method of grouping articles as well as the batches of articles thus obtained.
  • articles 1 which have at least one face 2 which, when taken in isolation, allows their stable support on a substantially flat support 3 such as an element of a shelf 4.
  • the articles are for example grouped so as to constitute a batch 5 which can be handled in a given configuration without risk of dissociation.
  • the articles are grouped in a certain number of juxtaposed rows.
  • a common plate 6 which is of rigidity at least sufficient not to bend under the weight of the articles.
  • the grouping plate 6 has: - On the one hand, at least one surface 8 known as receiving articles, the extent of which is at least sufficient to offer all the articles arranged in the configuration of the batch, a support location 7 by their stable support face above and - on the other hand, at least one means 9, such as a surface opposite the receiving surface and allowing the support of the tray on a support 3, in order to maintain the receiving surface 8 of the articles in a plane substantially parallel to the says support 3.
  • Adhesive 10 has: - at the surface, sufficient adhesion power, in line with its face 11 connecting to the surface 8 for receiving the grouping plate and its face 12 connecting the articles to the bearing surface 2 of an article , maintain but also, internally and in particular in the thickness 13 of each deposit, sufficient cohesion for said maintenance, the adhesion power on at least one of the opposite faces and / or the cohesion power being however sufficient without being excessive to allow its rupture under a predetermined load.
  • the adhesive is chosen from those which are substantially pasty which, on the one hand, although superficially dry, has adhesive properties on contact and, on the other hand, after exposure to the open air, remains pasty in particular under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions.
  • the application of the adhesive 10 takes place on the grouping plate.
  • An adhesive is chosen of which, after the abovementioned rest time, the cohesion power and the adhesion power are such that, to induce the detachment of the articles, it is necessary to apply to each article an action whose intensity is greater than that generated at the level of said adhesive by the mass of each item during the simple reversal of the batch carried by the grouping plate.
  • This feature makes it possible to obviate the dissociation of the batch during its reversal without obviously hampering the possibility for an operator to pick up an article from said batch.
  • This adhesive is applied in points, lines or areas at least at each location 7 which, on the receiving surface 8 of the grouping plate 6, must be occupied by one of the articles of the batch to be formed.
  • a set of stops 14 is created on the regrouping plate which, during the stacking of the regrouping plates devoid of articles, prevent any contact between the adhesive disposed at each receiving surface 8, on the one hand, and the means 9 for supporting the superposed grouping plate, on the other hand.
  • the stops 14 are for example constituted by the opposite faces of a flange which rises at the periphery of each of the grouping plates with a flare which, by wedge effect, prohibits their total nesting because this contact was sufficient beyond some time to secure their membership.
  • the means for implementing the above-mentioned method mainly comprise, in a known manner: - at least one grouping plate 6 having: . on the one hand, a surface 8 known as receiving articles, the extent of which is at least sufficient to provide a support location 7 for all the articles in the configuration of the batch and, . on the other hand, a means 9, such as a bearing surface of the grouping plate on a support 3, in order to maintain the receiving surface 8 of the articles in a plane substantially parallel to said support 4.
  • the grouping plate has a rigidity at least sufficient not to bend under the weight of the articles.
  • adhesive 10 having: a surface 11 for bonding by adhesion to the surface 8 for receiving the grouping plate 6, a surface 12 for bonding by adhesion to the bearing surface 2 of an article, and - In its mass 13, a cohesive power allowing its rupture only under a predetermined load.
  • This adhesive is characterized in that it is substantially pasty and in that, on the one hand, although it is superficially dry, it has adhesive properties on contact and, on the other hand, after exposure to air , it remains pasty, in particular under normal atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity conditions.
  • the means for implementing the invention also include grouping plates which, apart from the locations 7 of the articles on the grouping plate, have a set of stops 14 which, during the stacking of trays devoid of articles hamper any contact between the adhesive deposited at each receiving surface 8, on the one hand, and the means 9 for supporting the superposed grouping tray, on the other hand.
  • an adhesive is chosen such that its adhesion power on the facing surfaces ensures that the rupture occurs between the bearing surface 2 of each article and the said material so that the articles can be removed without wearing adhesive residue and in an alternative embodiment, the adhesive is chosen such that the rupture takes place between the receiving surface 8 of the grouping plate and the said material so that the plates can be recycled.
  • the adhesive 10 is deposited on the receiving surface of the grouping plates in the form of possibly rectilinear and substantially parallel lines of spacing E and of width L predetermined according to the desired adhesion effect. with the items in the batch.
  • the regrouping tray 6 consists of a cardboard tray provided with a peripheral border giving the whole the shape of a trunk of pyramid trunk whose edges hinder the total nesting of said trays during of their overlap.
  • the material constituting the adhesive is an adhesive of the so-called "HOTMELT” type.
