Abstract

The packaging comprises a casing (1) having a general parallelepipidal form, at least one face (11) of which slopes towards the outside, and a lid (2) comprising a fold (21) at the level of the junction of its upper part (22) and of its frontal part (23), the said lid (2) being fastened to the casing (1) at the level of its edge (24, 25) which covers and envelopes the edge (14, 15) of the said casing (1). Fastening the lid (2) to the casing (1) can be achieved by heat sealing or adhesive bonding of the edge (24) of the upper part (22) of the lid (2) on the edge (14) of the casing (1), the frontal part (23) of the said lid (2) comprising at its front edge (25) a tamper-proof tongue (3) which is heat sealed or adhesively bonded on a tongue integral with the casing. It may also be achieved by means of catches (4) integral with the edges (24, 25) of the lid (2) and introduced in orifices provided in the edges (14, 15) of the casing (1). <IMAGE>

Ces critères sont de plusieurs ordres, à savoir le coût de fabrication, la facilité de remplissage, manuel ou automatique, la facilité de manutention et de stockage, l'esthétique, la rationalisation et l'optimisation de leur surface d'implantation sur le lieu de vente, la possibilité de réutilisation et l'inviolabilité lors de la proposition à la vente.There are currently on the market different types of packaging which more or less meet certain criteria which depend on the respective requirements of the manufacturer, distributor and consumer. These criteria are of several orders, namely the manufacturing cost, the ease of filling, manual or automatic, the ease of handling and storage, the aesthetics, the rationalization and the optimization of their surface area on the site. of sale, the possibility of re-use and inviolability during the offer for sale.

Les emballages existant à ce jour répondent rarement à tous ces critères.The packaging existing to date rarely meets all these criteria.

Les plus fréquemment rencontrés sont les sachets en matières plastiques, qui sont facilement présentables, mais offrent peu d'attraits pour le consommateur car non réutilisables, ce qui nécessite pour ledit consommateur de disposer de moyens de rangement.The most frequently encountered are plastic bags, which are easily presentable, but offer little attraction for the consumer because they are not reusable, which requires for said consumer to have storage means.

D'autres emballages consitent en des boîtes de forme parallélépipédique, en matière plastique transparente dure, comportant un couvercle, mais si ces boîtes sont d'une esthétique satisfaisante et offrent des possibilités de réutilisation, elles ne sont toutefois pas d'une utilisation aisée, car nécessitant de soulever le couvercle, et empêchant de ce fait toute possibilité de superposition. Elles présentent en outre l'inconvénient d'être assez fragiles et d'être d'un encombrement trop important à vide, car non emboîtables.Other packages consist of boxes of parallelepiped shape, made of hard transparent plastic material, comprising a lid, but if these boxes are of satisfactory aesthetics and offer possibilities of re-use, they are not however easy to use, because requiring to lift the cover, and thereby preventing any possibility of overlapping. They also have the disadvantage of being fairly fragile and of being too bulky when empty, since they cannot be stacked.

D'autres emballages sont réalisés en matière plastique semi-rigide, donc moins fragiles, s'ouvrant en deux parties, et fermés en général par agrafage, mais ils présentent des risques de difficultés d'ouverture, et ils sont difficilement réutilisables du fait de leur système de fermeture qui les expose à être détériorés lors de la première ouverture.Other packaging is made of semi-rigid plastic, therefore less fragile, opening in two parts, and generally closed by stapling, but they present risks of opening difficulties, and they are difficult to re-use due to their closure system which exposes them to being damaged during the first opening.

Un autre type d'emballage, décrit dans le document FR-A-1 570 711, consiste en une coquille en matière plastique transparente soudée par ses bords, sur une partie de son pourtour, à un carton de présentation, l'autre partie n'étant appliquée sur ce carton que par une patte de petites dimensions et le carton présentant à la limite de la zone où la coquille lui est soudée une saignée permettant de le rabattre pour faciliter l'accès au contenu de la coquille.Another type of packaging, described in document FR-A-1 570 711, consists of a transparent plastic shell welded by its edges, on part of its periphery, to a presentation cardboard, the other part n 'being applied to this cardboard only by a tab of small dimensions and the cardboard having at the limit of the area where the shell is welded to it a groove allowing it to be folded down to facilitate access to the contents of the shell.

Ce type d'emballage, s'il offre l'avantage de constituer, une fois ouvert, une réserve pour les pièces qu'il contient, présente néanmoins l'inconvénient de ne pas être refermable, en sorte que s'il est accidentellement renversé son contenu s'en échappe.This type of packaging, if it offers the advantage of constituting, once opened, a reserve for the parts it contains, has the disadvantage of not being resealable, so that if it is accidentally overturned its content escapes.

La présente invention comme définie dans la revendication 1 permet de remédier aux divers inconvénients des emballages existants en proposant un emballage nouveau répondant à tous les critères avantageux énumérés ci-dessus.The present invention as defined in claim 1 overcomes the various drawbacks of existing packaging by providing a new packaging that meets all the advantageous criteria listed above.

L'emballage objet de la présente invention comporte deux parties, un boîtier réalisé avantageusement en une matière plastique semi-rigide du type polypropylène, et un couvercle réalisé lui aussi en matière plastique semi-rigide de type polypropylène.The packaging object of the present invention comprises two parts, a housing advantageously made of a semi-rigid plastic material of the polypropylene type, and a cover also made of semi-rigid plastic material of the polypropylene type.

Le boîtier a la forme générale d'un parallélépipède dont une face au moins est de hauteur inférieure aux autres et est inclinée vers l'extérieur de manière à créer, en plus de l'ouverture supérieure, une ouverture frontale inclinée, de manière que l'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage puisse se faire par le haut ou par la face frontale inclinée.The housing has the general shape of a parallelepiped, at least one face of which is lower in height than the others and is inclined towards the outside so as to create, in addition to the upper opening, a front inclined opening, so that the access to the interior of the packaging can be done from above or from the inclined front face.

Le couvercle est apte à recouvrir à la fois l'ouverture supérieure et l'ouverture frontale, et comporte à cet effet une pliure à fonction de charnière à la jonction des deux ouvertures.The cover is capable of covering both the upper opening and the front opening, and comprises this effect a fold at the hinge function at the junction of the two openings.

La fixation du couvercle sur le boîtier peut s'effectuer de plusieurs façons, et soit de manière que la partie supérieure dudit couvercle soit inamovible et que seule sa partie frontale puisse être manoeuvrée fréquemment, soit de manière que l'ensemble dudit couvercle, partie supérieure et partie frontale, puisse être manoeuvré fréquemment pour faciliter l'accès du boîtier tant en vue de son vidage que de son remplissage.The fixing of the cover on the housing can be done in several ways, and either so that the upper part of said cover is irremovable and that only its front part can be operated frequently, or so that the whole of said cover, upper part and front part, can be operated frequently to facilitate access to the housing both for emptying and filling.

Toutefois la première ouverture de la partie frontale du couvercle ne doit de préférence être possible qu'après une opération bien spécifique détruisant le système d'inviolabilité, permettant ainsi de prouver que ledit emballage n'a pas été ouvert avant la vente.However, the first opening of the front part of the cover should preferably only be possible after a very specific operation destroying the tamper-evident system, thus making it possible to prove that the said packaging was not opened before the sale.

La fermeture de l'emballage selon l'invention peut ainsi être réalisée au niveau de l'ouverture supérieure, par thermoscellage ou collage du couvercle sur les bords du boîtier, auquel cas la partie frontale du couvercle peut comporter à sa périphérie un bord enveloppant un rebord ménagé autour de l'ouverture frontale du boîtier, et comporter en extrémité une languette d'inviolabilité thermoscellée ou collée sur une languette solidaire dudit boîtier, la libération du système d'ouverture pouvant alors être réalisée par sectionnement de ladite languette.The packaging according to the invention can thus be closed at the upper opening, by heat-sealing or bonding of the cover to the edges of the housing, in which case the front part of the cover may have at its periphery an edge enveloping a rim formed around the front opening of the housing, and include at the end a tamper-evident seal tab or glued to a tongue integral with said housing, the release of the opening system can then be achieved by cutting off said tongue.

On peut aussi réaliser la fermeture du couvercle au moyen d'ergots-harpons solidaires des bords du couvercle et s'introduisant dans des orifices pratiqués dans un rebord ménagé à la périphérie des ouvertures frontale et supérieure, laissant à l'utilisateur le choix de sectionner tous lesdits ergots afin de libérer complètement le couvercle, ou seulement ceux maintenant la partie frontale dudit couvercle.It is also possible to close the cover by means of lugs-harpoons integral with the edges of the cover and entering holes made in a flange formed at the periphery of the front and upper openings, leaving the user the choice of cutting all said pins in order to completely release the cover, or only those holding the front part of said cover.

De plus, en vue de sa mise en place dans les présentoirs linéaires, l'emballage selon l'invention peut être muni d'un système d'accrochage disposé sur le bord du boîtier, ledit système d'accrochage pouvant consister en une découpe ménagée, dans la languette d'inviolabilité.In addition, with a view to its installation in the linear displays, the packaging according to the invention may be provided with a hanging system arranged on the edge of the housing, said attachment system can consist of a cut cut in the tamper-evident tab.

Enfin le couvercle de l'emballage selon l'invention peut comporter un dispositif permettant la mise en place d'une étiquette informative qui peut être apparente à la fois sur les faces supérieure et frontale dudit couvercle.Finally, the cover of the packaging according to the invention may include a device allowing the placement of an informative label which may be visible both on the upper and front faces of said cover.

Un tel dispositif peut consister en un logement ménagé à la face supérieure du couvercle, réalisé de manière à présenter une déformation en creux de forme adaptée à celle de l'étiquette, laquelle peut être maintenue bilatéralement par deux ergots en forme de demi-cercles disposés en surplomb dudit logement.Such a device may consist of a housing formed on the upper face of the cover, produced so as to have a hollow deformation of a shape adapted to that of the label, which can be held bilaterally by two lugs in the form of semicircles arranged overhanging said housing.

Ce dispositif peut être complété par deux fenêtres ménagées sur la face du logement voisine de la pliure du couvercle, permettant d'introduire à l'intérieur du boîtier deux jambes prolongeant l'étiquette, lesdites jambes venant se plaquer à l'intérieur de l'emballage contre la face frontale dudit couvercle, constituant une étiquette frontale.This device can be completed by two windows provided on the face of the housing close to the fold of the cover, making it possible to introduce two legs extending the label inside the case, said legs being pressed inside the packaging against the front face of said cover, constituting a front label.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Si on se réfère d'abord à la figure 1, on voit que l'emballage selon l'invention comprend un boîtier 1 de forme générale parallélépipédique dont une face 11 est inclinée vers l'extérieur de manière à créer, en plus de l'ouverture supérieure 12, une ouverture frontale inclinée 13.If we refer first to Figure 1, we see that the package according to the invention comprises a housing 1 of generally parallelepiped shape, one face 11 is inclined outward so as to create, in addition to the upper opening 12, an inclined front opening 13.

Le boîtier 1 est recouvert par un couvercle 2 apte à recouvrir à la fois l'ouverture supérieure 12 et l'ouverture frontale 13, et comportant à cet effet une pliure 21 au niveau de la jonction de sa partie supérieure 22 et de sa partie frontale 23.The housing 1 is covered by a cover 2 capable of covering both the upper opening 12 and the front opening 13, and comprising for this purpose a fold 21 at the junction of its upper part 22 and its front part 23.

Le couvercle 2 est fixé au boîtier 1 au niveau de son bord 24, 25, qui recouvre et enveloppe le bord 14, 15 du boîtier 1.The cover 2 is fixed to the housing 1 at its edge 24, 25, which covers and envelops the edge 14, 15 of the housing 1.

Pour une meilleure sécurité de vente, le bord 24 de sa partie supérieure 22 peut être thermoscellé au bord 14 du boîtier 1, tandis que sa partie frontale 23 peut être manoeuvrée en ouverture et fermeture uniquement après sectionnement d'une languette 3 solidaire du bord 25 de ladite partie frontale 23, et solidaire également d'une languette (non visible sur la figure) solidarisée au boîtier 1.For better sales security, the edge 24 of its upper part 22 can be heat-sealed to the edge 14 of the housing 1, while its front part 23 can be operated in opening and closing only after cutting a tongue 3 secured to the edge 25 of said front portion 23, and also integral with a tongue (not visible in the figure) secured to the housing 1.

La languette 3 peut présenter une découpe 31 de forme adaptée à la mise en place de l'emballage sur différents types de présentoirs.The tongue 3 can have a cutout 31 of a shape adapted to the positioning of the packaging on different types of display stands.

Le bord 25 de la partie latérale 23 peut s'adapter en fermeture sur le bord 15 du boîtier 1 selon le mode d'assemblage représenté à la figure 4a.The edge 25 of the lateral part 23 can be adapted in closure on the edge 15 of the housing 1 according to the assembly mode shown in FIG. 4a.

Si on se réfère aux figures 2 et 3 on retrouve sur ces figures les divers éléments de l'emballage représenté à la figure 1, avec son boîtier 1 et son couvercle 2 muni d'une languette 3 de fixation et de sécurité, thermoscellée à une languette 32 solidaire du boîtier 1.If we refer to Figures 2 and 3 we find in these figures the various elements of the packaging shown in Figure 1, with its housing 1 and its cover 2 provided with a tongue 3 for fixing and security, heat-sealed to a tongue 32 secured to the housing 1.

Si on se réfère à la figure 4a, on voit sur cette figure un mode d'assemblage du couvercle 2 avec le boîtier 1 au niveau de leurs bords respectifs, et plus spécialement au niveau des bords 15 et 25 de leurs parties frontales : le bord 25 du couvercle 2 enveloppant le bord 15 du boîtier 1, qui présente une section en U.If we refer to Figure 4a, we see in this figure a method of assembling the cover 2 with the housing 1 at their respective edges, and more especially at the edges 15 and 25 of their front parts: the edge 25 of the cover 2 enveloping the edge 15 of the housing 1, which has a U-shaped section.

Dans ce cas, les bords 14 et 24 de leurs parties supérieures peuvent être thermoscellés, de manière à empêcher l'ouverture de l'emballage avant sa vente.In this case, the edges 14 and 24 of their upper parts can be heat sealed, so as to prevent the opening of the packaging before its sale.

Si on se réfère à la figure 4b, on voit sur cette figure un autre mode d'assemblage consistant en des ergots-harpons 4 solidarisant les bords du boîtier 1 et du couvercle 2: dans ce cas tant les bords supérieurs 14, 24 que frontaux 15, 25 peuvent être équipés de ces ergots-harpons, qui peuvent être sectionnés par l'utilisateur à son gré, soit simplement à la périphérie de la partie frontale 13, 23 de l'emballage, soit sur tout son pourtour.If we refer to Figure 4b, we see in this figure another method of assembly consisting of lugs-harpoons 4 securing the edges of the housing 1 and the cover 2: in this case both the upper edges 14, 24 and front 15, 25 can be equipped with these lugs-harpoons, which can be cut by the user at his discretion, either simply at the periphery of the front part 13, 23 of the packaging, or around its entire periphery.

Si on se réfère à la figure 5, on peut voir sur cette figure un mode d'accrochage de l'emballage selon l'invention à un présentoir de vente, au moyen de la languette 3 disposée à la partie frontale du couvercle 2, dont l'ouverture 31 permet de la glisser autour de deux tringles parallèles 6.If we refer to Figure 5, we can see in this figure a method of hanging the packaging according to the invention to a sales display, by means of the tongue 3 disposed at the front part of the cover 2, of which the opening 31 allows it to slide around two parallel rods 6.

Si on se réfère enfin à la figure 6, on voit que le couvercle 2 de l'emballage selon l'invention peut comporter un logement 26 consistant en une déformation en creux dudit couvercle 2, deux ergots 28 en demi-cercle servant au maintien de l'étiquette 29, laquelle comporte deux jambes 30 qui peuvent être introduites dans deux fenêtres 27 ménagées à la face antérieure du logement 26 lorsque l'étiquette 29 est glissée dans le logement 26 sous l'effet d'une poussée exercée dans le sens de la flèche F.If we finally refer to Figure 6, we see that the cover 2 of the packaging according to the invention may include a housing 26 consisting of a hollow deformation of said cover 2, two pins 28 in a semicircle used to maintain the label 29, which has two legs 30 which can be inserted into two windows 27 formed on the front face of the housing 26 when the label 29 is slid into the housing 26 under the effect of a thrust exerted in the direction of arrow F.

L'emballage selon l'invention offre de multiples possibilités tant de présentation à la vente que de rangement, se prêtant aisément à la superposition du fait de la forme de son couvercle, ainsi que divers modes d'ouverture qui en rendent l'utilisation particulièrement facile.The packaging according to the invention offers multiple possibilities both for presentation for sale and for storage, easily lending itself to stacking due to the shape of its cover, as well as various opening modes which make it particularly easy to use.
