Description

La présente invention est relative à une boîte d'emballage du genre de celles susceptibles de contenir un objet, tel qu'une bouteille, dont les formes sont très différentes de celles de ladite boîte.The present invention relates to a packaging box of the kind likely to contain an object, such as a bottle, the shapes of which are very different from those of said box.

Pour de tels objets, le problème qui se pose consiste à les immobiliser dans la boîte tout en les protégeant.For such objects, the problem is to immobilize them in the box while protecting them.

Ainsi, on connaît une boîte se présentant sous une forme prismatique et comportant intérieurement une cale, occupant le fond de la boîte et formant, par sa face visible,un berceau dans lequel on dispose l'objet.Thus, there is known a box having a prismatic shape and internally comprising a wedge, occupying the bottom of the box and forming, by its visible face, a cradle in which the object is placed.

Deux modes de réalisation de cette cale sont connus :
   Le premier consiste à réaliser la cale en polystyrène expansé. Cette matière est peu onéreuse et résiste bien à l'écrasement tout en étant légère. Toutefois son aspect est peu avantageux, ce qui constitue un inconvénient très important pour des boîtes devant contenir des produits de luxe. Il faut signaler, de plus, que cette matière ne se prête pas au procédé de décoration dénommé floquage qui donne aux surfaces traitées un aspect de velours.Two embodiments of this wedge are known:
The first consists in making the block in expanded polystyrene. This material is inexpensive and resists crushing well while being light. However, its appearance is not very advantageous, which constitutes a very significant drawback for boxes having to contain luxury products. It should be noted, moreover, that this material does not lend itself to the decoration process called flocking which gives the treated surfaces a velvet appearance.

Le second consiste à réaliser la cale à partir d'une feuille de matière plastique thermoformée. Les feuilles thermoformables se prêtent très bien au floquage. Il faut toutefois signaler que les cales, ainsi réalisées, sont fragiles et ne se prêtent pas au conditionnement d'objet lourds tels que des bouteilles. De plus, ces cales sont onéreuses en raison de la matière utilisée.The second is to make the shim from a sheet of thermoformed plastic. The thermoformable sheets are very suitable for flocking. It should however be noted that the wedges, thus produced, are fragile and do not lend themselves to the packaging of heavy objects such as bottles. In addition, these shims are expensive because of the material used.

Le document WO-A-88/10214 décrit une boîte revêtue, intérieurement, d'un doublage isotherme, mais cette boîte ne comporte pas de cale formant un berceau de réception de l'objet.Document WO-A-88/10214 describes a box internally coated with an isothermal lining, but this box does not have a wedge forming a cradle for receiving the object.

Le document US-A-4658567 décrit un procédé de fabrication d'un berceau constitué par une masse centrale enveloppée dans une feuille réalisée en une matière de densité élevée, la dite masse comportant des inserts . Le procédé consistant à enrober totalement la masse centrale est onéreux.Document US-A-4658567 describes a method of manufacturing a cradle consisting of a central mass wrapped in a sheet made of a material of high density, said mass comprising inserts. The process of completely coating the central mass is expensive.

La présente invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est relative à une boîte comportant , intérieurement, une cale de maintien et est caractérisée en ce que la cale est réalisée en deux parties, l'une desdites parties étant constituée par un bloc de polystyrène expansé tandis que l'autre partie est réalisée à partir d'une feuille en matière plastique thermoformable et épouse le relief de ladite première partie sur laquelle elle repose, des moyens étant prévus pour maintenir les deux parties de la cale dans la boîte.The present invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, relates to a box comprising, internally, a holding block and is characterized in that the block is produced in two parts, one of said parts being constituted by a block of expanded polystyrene while the other part is made from a thermoformable plastic sheet and follows the relief of said first part on which it rests, means being provided to hold the two parts of the wedge in the box.

De cette facon, la cale de l'invention présente les avantages des cales connues, sans en présenter les inconvénients.In this way, the wedge of the invention has the advantages of known wedges, without having the disadvantages.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront mieux par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe transversale d'une boîte conforme à l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe, effectuée selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1;
  • la figure 3 est une vue, analogue à la figure 1, montrant un autre mode de réalisation.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings, by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a box according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a view, similar to Figure 1, showing another embodiment.

En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que la boîte 1 affecte une forme prismatique et présente un fond 2 et des faces latérales 3 et 4.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the box 1 has a prismatic shape and has a bottom 2 and lateral faces 3 and 4.

Selon l'invention, la cale est réalisée en deux parties 5 et 6.According to the invention, the wedge is made in two parts 5 and 6.

La partie 5 est formée par un bloc, réalisé de préférence en polystyrène expansé, qui repose sur le fond 2. La face supérieure 5a du bloc 5 est évidée pour former un berceau de réception de l'objet B à conditionner.Part 5 is formed by a block, preferably made of expanded polystyrene, which rests on the bottom 2. The upper face 5a of block 5 is hollowed out to form a cradle for receiving the object B to be packaged.

La partie 6 repose sur le bloc 5 et elle épouse le relief de sa face 5a. La partie 6 est réalisée à partir d'une mince feuille en matière thermoformable.Part 6 rests on block 5 and it follows the relief of its face 5a. Part 6 is made from a thin sheet of thermoformable material.

Des moyens sont prévus pour maintenir la cale de l'invention dans la boîte 1.Means are provided for holding the wedge of the invention in the box 1.

A cet effet, la partie 6, supérieure, présente une rainure 7, périphérique, dans laquelle peuvent être engagées les extrémités de volets 8 et 9 articulés le long du bord supérieur 1a de la boîte 1. Selon un mode de réalisation, chacun des volets 8 et 9 est articulé par l'entremise d'un volet intermédiaire 10. Pour fixer la cale, on rabat d'abord les volets 8, puis ceux 9.To this end, the upper part 6 has a peripheral groove 7 in which the ends of flaps 8 and 9 can be engaged articulated along the upper edge 1a of the box 1. According to one embodiment, each of the flaps 8 and 9 is articulated by means of an intermediate flap 10. To fix the wedge, the flaps 8 are first folded down, then those 9.

Des moyens sont prévus pour verrouiller deux volets adjacents entreeux. A cet effet, les bords 9a des volets 9 présentent une languette 11 susceptible de traverser une ouverture 12 prévue sur le volet 8,adjacent.Means are provided for locking two adjacent shutters between them. To this end, the edges 9a of the flaps 9 have a tongue 11 capable of passing through an opening 12 provided on the flap 8, adjacent.

La figure 3 montre une boîte dont le couvercle 13 est articulé le long d'un bord de la boîte 1. Dans ce cas, le volet 8 est constitué par l'une des branches d'une pièce auxiliaire, pliée en forme d'U, dont l'autre branche 14 est insérée entre la face correspondante interne de la boîte 1 et le bloc 5. De préférence, la branche 14 s'étend jusqu'au fond 2 deladite boîte.Figure 3 shows a box whose cover 13 is hinged along an edge of the box 1. In this case, the flap 8 is constituted by one of the branches of an auxiliary part, folded in U shape , the other branch 14 of which is inserted between the corresponding internal face of the box 1 and the block 5. Preferably, the branch 14 extends to the bottom 2 of said box.

La partie 6 peut être complétée par un rebord périphérique 15 dont l'extrémité prend appui contre un épaulement périphérique 16 du bloc 5. Ce rebord contribue à augmenter la rigidité de la partie 6.Part 6 can be completed by a peripheral rim 15, the end of which bears against a peripheral shoulder 16 of block 5. This rim contributes to increasing the rigidity of part 6.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes matières et dimensions.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of material shapes and dimensions.

C'est ainsi, entre autres, qu'il est possible d'utiliser des pièces auxiliaires avec des boîtes comportant un couvercle amovible.Thus, among other things, it is possible to use auxiliary parts with boxes having a removable cover.
