Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging similar elongated objects, hollow and fragile, nestable one inside the other.
  • One of the solutions used to ensure the packaging of such objects consists in placing them in a box or receptacle provided with a plurality of compartments in each of which is housed an object.
  • a solution can only be envisaged for cases where the objects are relatively expensive and / or dangerous when they break.
  • said box can only contain a limited number of objects so that it remains easy to handle.
  • said objects are capable of being nested one inside the other making it possible to store a large number of them in a limited volume, this solution requires them to be arranged individually.
  • Another solution for packaging such objects consists of fitting them directly into one another, thus forming a plurality of stacks of elongated, hollow and fragile objects. Each stack of objects can then be packaged in a bag or the like, then a plurality of bags are then placed in a box.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and relates to a device for packaging similar elongated hollow and fragile objects, nestable one inside the other, such as, for example, food cones, allowing the packaging of a high number of objects while preventing their deterioration.
  • the device for packaging similar elongated objects, hollow and fragile, nestable one inside the other, comprising a box or the like is remarkable, according to the invention, in that it comprises: - A plurality of parallel plates spaced from each other so that the distance separating two consecutive plates is less than the length of said objects, each plate being provided with orifices such that the orifices of the plates are facing each other and that each orifice can retain by friction through one of the ends one of said objects introduced into said orifice; and - Means for holding said plurality of trays inside said box, so that objects projecting from the end plate are kept apart from the opposite face of said box.
  • said trays are arranged in said box parallel to its bottom.
  • said orifices are of frustoconical shape, each object being retained by one of its ends of corresponding shape, by the wall delimiting one of said orifices, while its other end projects from the corresponding plate.
  • said openings in each tray are arranged in rows and columns.
  • pins can be provided on each plate allowing the superimposition of said plates, the pins, which project transversely from each plate, defining the distance separating two consecutive plates, so that the objects retained by friction by the walls of the orifices of an upper plate are fitted into the objects retained by friction by the walls of the orifices of the lower plate, without touching them.
  • ribs or the like can be provided on each of said plates, said ribs being arranged parallel to each other and extending approximately from one of the side edges of each plate to the opposite edge, separating the orifices in a row.
  • the plates in the orifices of which food cones or the like have been introduced, are intended to be arranged in a box, the plates are presented so that the ribs of a plate are perpendicular to the ribs of the consecutive plate, And so on.
  • the ribs of a lower plate then act as support beams vis-à-vis the ribs of the upper plate, perpendicular and resting without interlocking on those of the lower plate.
  • the plates are spaced apart by a distance corresponding to the height of the ribs, so that the objects retained by friction by the walls of the orifices of an upper plate come to fit in the objects retained by friction by the walls of the holes in a lower plate, without touching them.
  • said means for holding the end plate arranged parallel opposite the corresponding face of the box can comprise spacers provided in said box and on which rests said end plate, so that the ends of said elongated objects, opposite to those retained by friction by the walls of the orifices of said plate, are spaced from said face.
  • said plates are made of a thermoplastic material.
  • the invention also relates to a tray for holding elongated hollow and fragile objects, capable of fitting into similar objects arranged on another similar tray.
  • the plate is remarkable in that orifices are formed in it, retaining by friction, by one of their ends, said objects.
  • each orifice has a frustoconical shape, with which the end, of corresponding shape, of said object cooperates.
  • the device for packaging elongated, similar, hollow and fragile objects, nestable one inside the other, such as, for example, food cones subsequently intended to receive an ice cream includes a box 2 having a parallelepiped shape.
  • This box 2 has its upper face 3 open, the side flaps 4, later intended to form the upper face 3 to close the box, being folded towards the side faces 5 thereof.
  • the device comprises a plurality of plates 6 identical and parallel to each other, two of which 6A and 6B have been shown in FIG. 1. These plates 6 have a section corresponding to the section of the box 2 and are intended to be introduced therein parallel to its background 7.
  • each plate 6A and 6B is provided with identical orifices 8 for receiving the food cones 1.
  • These orifices 8 are arranged in rows and columns, being regularly spaced from one another.
  • the section of the wall 8A delimiting each orifice is frustoconical, corresponding to that of the cones 1.
  • the frustoconical orifices 8 of the plates are look at each other, coaxially.
  • each frustoconical orifice 8 retains, by friction, the upper end 1A of the food cone 1 introduced into the orifice, as shown in this figure 1, the two cones 1 housed in the orifices frustoconical 8 respectively of plate 6A and plate 6B.
  • means 10 are provided for keeping said end plate 6A away from the bottom 7 of the box.
  • these holding means 10 are constituted by spacers 11, in this case two, the lower edge 11A of which comes into contact with the bottom 7 of the box, while the upper edge 11B receives the end plate 6A .
  • the height of the spacers 11 is greater than the length of the cones 1. In this way, the tips 1B of the cones 1 are distant from the bottom 7 of the box, as can be seen in FIG. 3, and do not risk d 'be damaged.
  • each plate 6 has pins 12 arranged, for example, in the vicinity of the four corners of each of the plates, projecting perpendicularly from each of them and on the same side as the walls 8A delimiting the frustoconical orifices 8.
  • the height spikes 12 is, in this embodiment, slightly greater than that of the walls 8A delimiting the orifices 8.
  • the pins 12 allow the plates 6 to be superposed on each other in a regularly spaced manner, as shown by the plates 6A, 6B and 6C shown.
  • the distance d separating two consecutive plates and corresponding to the height of the pins, is clearly less than the length of said elongated objects, but sufficient for the cones 1, for example, of the plate 6C to fit into the cones 1 of the lower plate 6B by preventing them from touching.
  • a clearance j then separates the external wall 1C of the cones of the upper plate from the internal wall 1D of the cones of the lower plate.
  • the face of the upper end 1A of the cones comes substantially at the level of the plates, without, however, protruding from them.
  • the cones 1, in this particular application are held individually from one another, while being nested, without contact, one inside the other, which allows, of a on the one hand, to avoid any shock and therefore any deterioration of the cones between them, and on the other hand, to store a large number of cones in the same box.
  • FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the plates 6. It can be seen that each of the two identical plates illustrated 6E and 6F has ribs 18 which are arranged parallel to each other, extending from a lateral edge 19A to the opposite side edge 19B of each tray. In this way, the ribs 18 separate the orifices 8 in a row.
  • the profile of the ribs 18 is such that it extends, at the locations of the orifices 8, the frustoconical walls 8A delimiting these orifices.
  • This embodiment of said trays is particularly advantageous since it allows, when the ribs of the trays are parallel to each other, the storage of the trays before use while occupying a minimum space requirement.
  • the ribs 18G of the plate 6G and the walls 8G of the orifices 8 fit, respectively, in the ribs 18F and the walls 8F of the orifices of the upper plate 6F, while, in turn, the ribs 18F and the walls 8F of the orifices 8 of the plate 6F fit, respectively, into the ribs 18E and the walls 8E of the orifices 8 of the upper plate 6E. In this way, the space occupied by the flat waters thus stacked, before their use, is minimal.
  • ribs 18E and 18F thus act as support beams, which increases the rigidity of the plates, the ribs 18E of the plate 6E coming into contact with the ribs 18F of the plate 6F, perpendicular thereto.
  • the height of the ribs is determined so that the food cones 1 retained by friction by the frustoconical walls 8E of the orifices 8 of the upper plate 6E come to fit in the food cones 1 retained by friction by the frustoconical walls 8F of orifices 8 of the lower plate 6F, without touching them.
  • the plates comprising the orifices and the pins or the ribs can easily be produced directly from a thermoplastic material.
