Abstract

The fancy box, which looks like a cut diamond, is made in one piece out of a sheet of folded, glued card. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une boîte fantaisie plus spécialement destinée à contenir des articles de confiserie tels que des chocolats fins, des pralinés, des bonbons, etc.The present invention relates to a fancy box more specifically intended to contain confectionery items such as fine chocolates, pralines, candies, etc.

Cette boîte, qui allie à une certaine fantaisie de forme une excellente ri­gidité, est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle présente l'aspect d'une pierre précieuse taillée.This box, which combines a certain fantasy of form with excellent rigidity, is characterized by the fact that it has the appearance of a cut precious stone.

Le dessin ci-annexé représente, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention présentant l'aspect d'un dia­mant taillé et obtenue à partir d'une feuille de carton.

  • La figure 1 en est une vue en élévation,
  • la figure 2 une vue en plan,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en plan de la feuille de carton que l'on utilise pour réaliser la boîte,
  • les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues, en élévation, respectivement en plan, illustrant la mise en forme de cette feuille.
The attached drawing shows, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the invention having the appearance of a cut diamond and obtained from a sheet of cardboard.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view thereof,
  • FIG. 2 a plan view,
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the sheet of cardboard which is used to make the box,
  • Figures 4 and 5 are views, in elevation, respectively in plan, illustrating the shaping of this sheet.

La boîte représentée est constituée par un fond 10 et par un dôme 11 pré­sentant respectivement la forme d'une pyramide octogonale renversée et la forme d'une pyramide octogonale droite. Ces deux pyramides ont une base commune 12 et sont d'un seul tenant.The box shown is constituted by a bottom 10 and by a dome 11 having respectively the shape of an inverted octagonal pyramid and the shape of a right octagonal pyramid. These two pyramids have a common base 12 and are in one piece.

La boîte est obtenue à partir d'une feuille de carton 13 qui présente des rainures de pliage délimitant neuf secteurs triangulaires 14 ( 14a, 14b,.... 14i ) prolongés radialement par neuf triangles 15 ( 15 a ...15i ), eux-mêmes reliés entre eux par dix-sept demi-triangles 16 ( 16a, ... 16q ).The box is obtained from a sheet of cardboard 13 which has folding grooves delimiting nine triangular sectors 14 (14a, 14b, .... 14i) extended radially by nine triangles 15 (15 a ... 15i), themselves linked together by seventeen half-triangles 16 (16a, ... 16q).

La mise en forme de la feuille 13 et le remplissage de la boîte s'opèrent comme suit :

  • a) on rapproche les bords libres des triangles 14a et 14i par pivotement autour d'un axe vertical passant par le point 18,
  • b) on superpose et on colle les secteurs 14a et 14i, respectivement les triangles 15a et 15i,
  • c) simultanément on plie en accordéon les triangles 15 et les demi-­triangles 16, et on superpose et colle les demi-triangles 16a et 16q.
  • d) par l'ouverture 17 formées par les bords libres des demi-triangles 16, on remplit la boîte de chocolats fins, de pralinés ou d'articles simi­laires,
  • e) on fait converger ensuite vers l'axe vertical passant par le point 18 les les sommets des triangles 15 ce qui ferme l'ouverture 17 et on assure cette fermeture par un auto-collant par exemple.
The shaping of the sheet 13 and the filling of the box take place as follows:
  • a) the free edges of the triangles 14a and 14i are brought together by pivoting about a vertical axis passing through the point 18,
  • b) the sectors 14a and 14i are superimposed and glued, the triangles 15a and 15i respectively,
  • c) simultaneously the triangles 15 and the half-triangles 16 are folded in accordion, and the half-triangles 16a and 16q are superimposed and glued.
  • d) through the opening 17 formed by the free edges of the half-triangles 16, the box is filled with fine chocolates, pralines or similar articles,
  • e) the vertices of the triangles 15 are then converged towards the vertical axis passing through the point 18 which closes the opening 17 and this closure is ensured by a self-adhesive for example.

La boîte ainsi remplie et fermée est retournée et posée sur un support ou un présentoire ad hoc 19 de préférence au moins partiellement transparent. Elle apparait alors comme un diamant taillé dont l'aspect est renforcé par des lignes trompe-l'oeil ( en traits fins sur le dessin ) tracées sur les faces extérieures des secteurs 14 et des triangles 15.The box thus filled and closed is turned over and placed on a support or an ad hoc display 19 preferably at least partially transparent. It then appears as a cut diamond whose appearance is reinforced by trompe-l'oeil lines (in fine lines in the drawing) drawn on the outer faces of sectors 14 and triangles 15.

Grâce à ses faces planes et malgré sa forme fantaisie, la boîte décrite présente une excellente rigidité.Thanks to its flat faces and despite its fancy shape, the box described has excellent rigidity.

L'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée à la forme d'exécution représen­tée et décrite ci-dessus.The invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown and described above.

En particulier, en variante de cette forme d'exécution, le fond 10 et le dôme 11 pourraient être réalisés en deux pièces disctinctes, articulées ou emboîtées, en matière rigide ou semi-rigide, par exemple en matière plasti­que.In particular, as a variant of this embodiment, the bottom 10 and the dome 11 could be made in two separate pieces, articulated or fitted together, in rigid or semi-rigid material, for example in plastic.

Il va par ailleurs sans dire que la forme d'exécution représentée au des­sin pourrait être retournée dans le présentoir 19, c'est-à-dire se présen­ter dans ce dernier comme à la figure 4.It also goes without saying that the embodiment shown in the drawing could be returned to the display 19, that is to say appear in the latter as in FIG. 4.
