Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging box intended for wedging, protecting and presenting various products, in particular food products, such as chocolate candies, but also luxury products (confectionery, jewelry, alcohols, pens, etc.) or fragile products.
  • This principle has the disadvantage of little value to the products, on the one hand because they are hidden, at the opening of the box, by a paper pad, on the other hand because these products are very deep in their alveolar which also makes them difficult to grasp.
  • the paper fibers of the pad are in contact with the products, and that they can convey undesirable residues (bacteria, odors, dust, etc.).
  • this type of box is frequently overwrapped with a film, which sometimes requires the use of an elastic strap surrounding the box, to make the bottom and cover integral during the overpacking operation.
  • the object of the invention is to solve these drawbacks and constraints, by producing a packaging of particularly simple structure, which can be manufactured and delivered to the user assembled and ready for use, this very easily and economically, starting from of two bodies, namely: a bottom and a cover, themselves composed of a flank of cut cardboard, folded and possibly glued -or of any other similar material-, of one or two reinforcing plates of corrugated cardboard, this bottom and this cover each receiving a thermoformed or injected plastic honeycomb.
  • honeycomb fixed to the bottom of the box by nipples and / or bonding serves as a receptacle for the products, while the honeycomb integral with the cover of the box, by snap-fastening and / or gluing, holds and protects them and the cover comes to be positioned on the bottom of the box by pins and / or by interlocking (FIG. 14).
  • the present invention reduces the packaging, for the user, to only two elements, ready for filling, instead of four to five previously. It is indeed supplied to it, ready to use, without assembly operation which consisted, for this user, in the prior volume setting of the two cardboard parts and in the introduction of the honeycomb and of the pad, a filling package. its wedging, protection and particularly product presentation function.
  • this packaging consists of two parts into which the respective honeycomb has been previously introduced, after setting in volume and possibly gluing of the cardboard part - or any other similar material -, at the manufacturer.
  • the invention also consists in making integral the constituent elements of the bottom and cover parts of the box, namely that the plastic honeycomb is fixed to its cardboard support - or any other similar material.
  • This fixing consists, for the bottom part, in a principle of nippling whose male parts are formed in the material of the cellular and, prominent on the back of said cellular, are introduced into the edge of the cardboard part, previously cut out. for this purpose.
  • the invention also consists in gluing the foam onto the cardboard support - or any other similar material -, by means of coatings. glue arranged on the periphery and / or on the bottom, or back, of said alveolar.
  • the fixing consists, for the cover part, in a principle of latching of the cardboard support -or any other similar material-, the cutting and the volume of which are designed to receive and maintain flat flanges provided around the periphery of the upper honeycomb, so as to lock it in position after setting up the side of the receiving carton - or any other similar material.
  • the invention also consists, as for the honeycomb of the bottom part, in gluing this honeycomb on its cardboard support or any other similar material, by means of adhesive coatings placed on the periphery of said honeycomb, this operation may be necessary, depending on application variables (nature, weight and volume of the product contained, for example).
  • the alveoli may include height compensations for the products and stiffening cavities.
  • This process therefore considerably reduces, for the user, the costs of routing and management, storage, handling and preliminary assembly of the packaging. It facilitates and shortens the preparation and packaging chain of the product, which, depending on the user's equipment, turns out to be a considerable advantage by completely eliminating assembly operations, but also the necessary investments, for example, in the mechanization of the assembly of the cardboard sides, the automatic unstacking of the cells, and by concentration on the filling operation of the packaging.
  • a very strong seasonality immobilizes a workforce, equipment and unused surfaces outside the periods of high activity, labor, equipment and surfaces to which the invention supplants.
  • the invention is also a source of better hygiene, by reducing handling at the place of packaging of the products, and by replacing a pad, the fibers of which can carry undesirable residues (bacteria, odors, dust ...) by a plastic alveolar for food use.
  • the user sometimes has the need to surround the box, after filling, with an elastic strap to make the bottom and the lid integral during the operation which consists of overpacking this box with a shrink or foldable film.
  • the invention removes this constraint, since the alveolar of the cover is provided with thermoformed nipples or injected into the material of said alveolar and protruding on the front thereof, nipples which are introduced and fixed in the edge of the carton -or any other similar material of which the bottom is made, and rim whose cut-out provides housing for this purpose, allowing perfect positioning of the assembly.
  • the two parts, lower / bottom, and upper / cover thus become integral.
  • the invention also has several advantages which benefit the final prescriber.
  • the whole therefore gains, for the prescriber as for the user, both in practicality and in quality. It becomes possible to present to those around him, for example, chocolate candies on the tray simulated by the lower part of the box, consisting of the bottom and its honeycomb.
  • the invention thus confers an indisputable high-end product status to the product packaged according to its principles.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a packaging box of rectangular shape with rectangular longitudinal section, made of cardboard and plastic.
  • the general principle of the invention is applicable whatever the shape of the packaging, and whatever the materials from. from which the different elements of this packaging are made. It is possible to use, in particular, for the sides 8, 10, 11 and the reinforcements 13, 14 of the cover and the reinforcement 7 of the bottom, compact, fluted, micro-fluted, corrugated, laminated, covered cartons. , or any other similar material, their cutting may vary.
  • the packaging which is described here has been produced: for the sides 8, 10, 11, in compact cardboard for food use; in corrugated cardboard displayed on two sides for the reinforcements 7 and 13; in plain corrugated for reinforcements 14 and in polyvynil chloride (PVC) for cells 9 and 12.
  • PVC polyvynil chloride
  • the packaging box shown complete, filled and closed in Figure 14 comprises two separate parts, namely a bottom 7, 8, 9 and a cover 10, 12, 13 or 11,12,13,14, in accordance with invention. These two parts presented one above the other snap in and fit together by simple vertical pressure, the bottom and the cover becoming integral.
  • the cover as a whole has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and is made up of several parts held together and integral: a flank of cardboard 10 or 11, possible reinforcements of corrugated cardboard 13, 14 and a honeycomb 12.
  • the cover is made from a single-piece cutout, the periphery of which determines a rectangular central part 1b, corresponding to the top of the box, provided on its four sides with a vertical wall 2 intended to be folded perpendicularly towards inside by a crease line 2b, to form with the face 1 a 90 ° angle.
  • These four walls 2 are extended by four walls 3, folded by a creasing line 3b inward, and optionally glued, at 180 °.
  • extensions 3a are intended to stiffen the cover to resist vertical pressure, and at 2a, to provide the finish at the corners, by introduction during assembly between the faces 2 and 3, thanks to the grooves 3c and cut dotted 3d, the walls 3 being themselves extended lengthwise by a tongue 4, folded inside the cover perpendicular to the face 3 by a dotted cutting line 6, interrupted in its extension by sharp cuts 10a, they -same punctuated by a creasing or a perpendicular cut 10b and protruding, preventing the tearing of this fold.
  • Said blunt cuts 10a ensure the positioning, the blocking and the positioning of the flaps 12e of the alveolar of the cover, their number and their size being a function of the variables of the application, for example the surface and the weight of the products contained in the packaging.
  • the walls 3 are shorter than the walls 2 to allow, during assembly, to insert on the back of this cover, the reinforcement plates 13 and 14, the tabs 4 serving to block the reinforcements in their place and to lock the 'by overlapping in the four angles.
  • the flap 4a folded outwards, blocks the reinforcements, 13 being a corrugated displayed on two sides, 14 being a simple corrugated not occupying the entire surface of the cover 1b and making it possible to give the latter, by the nervousness of the cardboard constituting the side 11, a curved exterior effect.
  • the cover comprises a honeycomb 12 whose rectangular surface is bordered by a sidewalk 12c, a part of which comes into contact with the sidewalk of the honeycomb 9 and, in part, for the outer part, in contact with the sidewalk 8b of the sidewall 8 set in volume of the bottom of the box.
  • the surface of this cell shows the cavities 12f corresponding to the height of the products presented and projecting from the bottom cell 9, a slight gap 15a being formed between the product and the cell 12, so as not to injure this product.
  • stiffening cavities 12b are formed in the material and in the depth of the alveolar 12, ensuring a support of the latter in the bottom of the cover, to ensure good resistance in the event of stacking of finished products.
  • the sidewalk 12c of this honeycomb 12 also shows the protruding pins 12d, formed in its material and located around its periphery, intended to make the two bodies - bottom and cover - of the box integral.
  • the pins 12d constituting the male part are introduced into the cutouts 8n provided to receive them on top of the sidewalk 8b of the bottom 8 of the box.
  • These 12d nipples can have different shapes and lengths, depending on of the nature and thickness of the materials used for the production of cells 9 and 12, depending on the techniques used - such as thermoforming or injection for example -. Generally, these nipples will have an thinned throat followed by a bulb a few millimeters in height and diameter. Once introduced by pressure into their logmeent on the sidewalk at the bottom 8, these pins 12d will be held in place by their bulb.
  • This alveolar 12 also comprises, bordering its surface, four vertical walls 12a, including two longitudinal walls and two transverse walls, themselves extended by perpendicular flats 12e, protruding discontinuously, the number and size of which depend on the application variables, such as the volume or weight of the product (s) contained.
  • These flats 12e are housed in the clean cuts 10a, to lock, in the case of a cover with right angles 10, or to be introduced in the case of a cover with beveled angles 11, between the tongues 4a and the reinforcement 13.
  • the vertical walls 12a have a height defined on the one hand by the depth of the cavities 12f and on the other hand by the aesthetic choice sought for the final packaging, the invention allowing several types of cover: covering 16, or resting on the sidewalk at the bottom 10, or beveled 11.
  • the bottom 7, 8, 9 of the box is composed, in accordance with the invention of a cardboard side 8, a cardboard reinforcement 7 in certain cases, and a cellular 9.
  • the flank 8 of cardboard is produced from a cut whose periphery determines a rectangular central part 1a, corresponding to the bottom of the box and, bordering the bottom, by the creases 8f, two longitudinal walls and, by the creases 8m, two transverse walls which will constitute, after folding along the creasing lines 8g and 8h, the sidewalks 8b on the four sides of this bottom.
  • the central part comprises the bottom 1a, the vertical walls 8a, the sidewalks 8b, the interior wedging tongues 8c and the tabs for finishing the angles 8d.
  • Each partitioning element is folded successively along the crease lines 8f-8g-8h-8j-8m and determines around the bottom a sidewalk whose interior tabs 8c serve to block the possible reinforcing wedge 7 and to lock the assembly by overlapping in the four angles.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show the configuration of this bottom after its volume, as well as the positions of the perforations 8k, intended to receive the pins 9d of the alveolar of this bottom, and the locations of the perforations 8n having to receive the pins 12d of the cover alveolar.
  • the honeycomb 9 corresponding to the bottom of the box 8 has a rectangular surface slightly smaller than the perimeter determined by the sidewalks of the bottom 8, to leave visible part of the sidewalks 8b, cut 8n, to receive the pins 12d of the honeycomb 12 of the cover.
  • the covering of the sidewalk 8b by its honeycomb 9 is a function of the decor that one wants to create. It is also possible to completely cover the sidewalks 8b, and therefore to provide in the flat, serrated or smooth, constituting the periphery of the alveolar, sighting marks with the cutouts 8n, located on the sidewalks 8b, and intended to allow the pins 12d of the alveolar 12 of the cover to pass.
  • the fixing of the honeycomb 9 at the bottom of the box 8 is done by introduction of the protruding nipples 9d formed in the material of the honeycomb 9, on the back of the periphery of the latter.
  • nipples can have different shapes and lengths, depending on the nature and thickness of the materials used to produce the cells, depending on the techniques used such as thermoforming or injection for example. Generally, these nipples will have an thinned throat followed by a bulb a few millimeters in height and diameter. Once introduced by pressure into their housing on the sidewalk at the bottom, Figures 14, 15 and 16, these pins will be held in place by their bulb. The asymmetrical positioning of the pins 9d makes it possible to orient the alveolar without error in its bottom 8.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show a particular embodiment of the invention, which finds application in particular in the packaging of confectionery, products requiring specific protection and presentation and meticulous care.
  • FIG. 15 shows a section of a complete package including a cover 11 with beveled angles and
  • FIG. 16 a package with a covering cover 16, fixed by studs, the walls of which mask the bottom of the box over its entire height.
  • These presentation variants have the additional advantage of being able to be produced with the same alveoli. bottom and cover. It will therefore be possible to decline the same content in several versions, without being penalized by new purchases or new cellular designs, involving mold costs, by problems of supply cost and modification of the chains of filling.
  • the packaging obtained after filling ( Figure 14) and placed in shrink or foldable film, can be easily stacked, despite their traditional fragility.
