Description

L'invention se rapporte à un emballage pouvant être utilisé comme distributeur pour produits plats et souples, notamment pour des produits en papier du type serviettes de table, essuyeurs, essuie-mains, etc...The invention relates to a packaging which can be used as a dispenser for flat and flexible products, in particular for paper products of the napkin, wipers, hand towels, etc. type.

L'emploi d'articles en papier que l'on jette après usage est maintenant largement répandu. Ils offrent un avantage particulier dans les collectivités : restauration ou hôtellerie par exemple, du fait qu'ils réduisent les frais d'entretien.The use of paper articles which are discarded after use is now widespread. They offer a particular advantage in communities: catering or hotels for example, because they reduce maintenance costs.

Ainsi les serviettes de table en papier se présentent sous la forme d'une feuille pliée généralement en quatre. Elles sont souvent disposées dans des distributeurs rigides parallélépipédiques dont une face, parallèle aux plans des serviettes, comporte une ouverture de distribution par laquelle elles sont extraites. Au fur et à mesure que la charge est consommée, la longueur de la pile diminue ; et afin de la maintenir plaquée contre la paroi distribution, les distributeurs comportent un poussoir à ressort en appui sur le fond qui assure la compression nécessaire. Lorsque le distributeur est épuisé, son chargement nécessite une succession d'opérations plus ou moins aisées selon le mécanisme utilisé.Thus the paper napkins are in the form of a sheet folded generally in four. They are often arranged in rigid parallelepiped distributors, one face of which, parallel to the planes of the towels, has a dispensing opening through which they are extracted. As the charge is consumed, the length of the battery decreases; and in order to keep it pressed against the distribution wall, the distributors include a spring plunger bearing on the bottom which provides the necessary compression. When the dispenser is exhausted, loading requires a succession of more or less easy operations depending on the mechanism used.

Par ailleurs, les recharges de serviettes sont en général enveloppées dans un film plastique ou dans un manchon de papier. Il n'est pas possible de les utiliser telles quelles sans distributeur.In addition, towel refills are generally wrapped in plastic film or in a paper sleeve. It is not possible to use them as is without a distributor.

L'invention a pour objet de fournir un emballage remplissant la fonction de distributeur pour ce type de produits empilés en paquet.The object of the invention is to provide packaging fulfilling the function of a distributor for this type of product stacked in a package.

Il est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une paroi de distribution en matériau rigide, tel que le carton, adjacent à l'une des deux faces de la pile parallèle auxdits produits, ladite paroi étant pourvue d'une ouverture de distribution par laquelle les produits peuvent être extraits, et un moyen de rappel élastique reliant ladite paroi à la face opposée de la pile de produits de manière à exercer une poussée permanente sur celle-ci vers la paroi de distribution.It is characterized in that it comprises a distribution wall made of rigid material, such as cardboard, adjacent to one of the two faces of the stack parallel to said products, said wall being provided with a distribution opening through which the products can be extracted, and an elastic return means connecting said wall to the opposite face of the stack of products so as to exert a permanent thrust on the latter towards the distribution wall.

Un paquet de produits ainsi conditionné présente plusieurs avantages :
   Il offre un gain place pour le transport du fait de sa compacité.A package of products thus packaged has several advantages:
It saves space for transport due to its compactness.

Il peut être utilisé tel quel et évite, si on le souhaite, l'emploi des distributeurs de l'art antérieur dont il constitue un substitut économique.It can be used as it is and avoids, if desired, the use of distributors of the prior art of which it constitutes an economic substitute.

Il peut être utilisé comme recharge dans les distributeurs de l'art antérieur et offre alors l'intérêt d'une simplicité de mise en place et de rechargement à l'instar d'une cassette. Il peut être utilisé en combinaison avec un simple boîtier, sans mécanisme complexe de poussoir à ressort, dont l'encombrement se trouve ainsi réduit.It can be used as a refill in dispensers of the prior art and then offers the advantage of a simplicity of installation and recharging like a cassette. It can be used in combination with a simple housing, without complex mechanism of spring plunger, whose space is thus reduced.

Le moyen de rappel élastique sera avantageusement constitué à partir d'un ruban en matériau élastique bien connu en soi.The elastic return means will advantageously consist of a ribbon of elastic material well known in itself.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'emballage comporte une deuxième paroi rigide en appui sur la face opposée de la pile de produits, les deux parois étant reliées par ledit moyen de rappel élastique.According to one embodiment, the packaging comprises a second rigid wall bearing on the opposite face of the stack of products, the two walls being connected by said elastic return means.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'emballage est constitué par une enveloppe en forme de manchon avec une paroi de distribution et une deuxième paroi parallèle à la première, les deux parois étant reliées par des entretoises.According to another embodiment, the packaging consists of a sleeve-shaped envelope with a distribution wall and a second wall parallel to the first, the two walls being connected by spacers.

Ces deux modes de réalisation offrent l'avantage d'être particulièrement économiques aussi bien en matériau qu'à la fabrication.These two embodiments offer the advantage of being particularly economical both in material and in manufacture.

L'invention est décrite ci-après plus en détail, mais sans caractère limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente les éléments d'un emballage selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente un paquet de produits emballé,
  • la figure 3 représente en coupe un paquet à l'intérieur d'un boîtier,
  • la figure 4 représente un emballage selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 5 représente un paquet emballé selon le deuxième mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 6 représente une plaque de carton prédécoupée selon le deuxième mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 7 représente un paquet emballé selon une variante du deuxième mode de réalisation.
  • la figure 8 représente un autre mode de réalisation de boîtier et de sa recharge.
The invention is described below in more detail, but without limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents the elements of a package according to a first embodiment of the invention,
  • FIG. 2 represents a packet of packaged products,
  • FIG. 3 represents in section a package inside a box,
  • FIG. 4 represents a package according to a second embodiment of the invention,
  • FIG. 5 represents a packaged package according to the second embodiment,
  • FIG. 6 represents a pre-cut cardboard plate according to the second embodiment,
  • FIG. 7 represents a packaged package according to a variant of the second embodiment.
  • Figure 8 shows another embodiment of the housing and its refill.

Selon le premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 3, on voit que l'emballage comprend une première paroi (1) constituée par une plaque en matériau rigide ou semi-rigide tel que le carton, et découpée sensiblement au format du produit à conditionner, par exemple au format d'une serviette de table pliée. Dans cette plaque on a ménagé une ouverture de distribution (11). On y a fixé également, par tout moyen approprié : collage, agrafage, etc..., un ruban élastique (3) qui forme un anneau.According to the first embodiment represented in FIGS. 1 and 3, it can be seen that the packaging comprises a first wall (1) constituted by a plate made of rigid or semi-rigid material such as cardboard, and cut out substantially in the format of the product. to be packaged, for example in the format of a folded napkin. In this plate, a distribution opening (11) has been provided. It has also been fixed, by any appropriate means: bonding, stapling, etc., an elastic tape (3) which forms a ring.

L'emballage comprend également une paroi arrière (5) constituée par une plaque semblable à la première.The packaging also includes a rear wall (5) constituted by a plate similar to the first.

Sur la figure 2, on voit le paquet de produits (7) inséré entre les deux plaques (1 et 5). Ces dernières sont maintenues l'une à l'autre par le ruban élastique (3) que l'on a tendu et rabattu sur la face libre de la plaque (5). L'ensemble constitue ainsi une recharge pour un distributeur ou peut être utilisé sans boîtier de distribution.In Figure 2, we see the product package (7) inserted between the two plates (1 and 5). The latter are held together by the elastic ribbon (3) which has been stretched and folded over the free face of the plate (5). The assembly thus constitutes a refill for a distributor or can be used without a distribution box.

La force de rappel exercée par le ruban (3) sur la plaque (5) comprime le paquet (7). Il s'ensuit que la plaque (5) forme poussoir jusqu'à ce que celui-ci soit consommé et que le ruban revienne à son état détendu.The restoring force exerted by the tape (3) on the plate (5) compresses the package (7). It follows that the plate (5) forms a pusher until it is consumed and the ribbon returns to its relaxed state.

Pour améliorer la stabilité de l'ensemble, il est possible de prévoir un deuxième ruban, tendu dans le plan perpendiculaire à celui du premier ruban.To improve the stability of the assembly, it is possible to provide a second ribbon, stretched in the plane perpendicular to that of the first ribbon.

De même, on ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention en utilisant des rubans élastiques distincts, reliant les bords correspondants des deux plaques au lieu d'un ruban monté en anneau.Likewise, it is not going beyond the ambit of the invention to use separate elastic ribbons, connecting the corresponding edges of the two plates instead of a ring-mounted ribbon.

Pour compléter l'emballage, il est possible également d'envelopper le paquet de produits, ou l'ensemble, d'un film de protection contre les salissures ou tout autre dommage susceptible de survenir pendant le transport.To complete the packaging, it is also possible to wrap the product package, or the whole, with a protective film against dirt or any other damage likely to occur during transport.

Sur la figure 3, on a représenté un paquet de produits conditionné selon l'invention et placé à l'intérieur d'un boîtier (20) ouvert sur une face. On peut prévoir un élément (21) en forme de cadre pour immobiliser le paquet à l'intérieur. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la plaque de distribution (1) est de dimension suffisante pour permettre son calage entre le bord du réceptacle et le cadre (21).In Figure 3, there is shown a package of products packaged according to the invention and placed inside a housing (20) open on one side. A frame-shaped element (21) can be provided for immobilizing the package inside. In the embodiment shown, the distribution plate (1) is of sufficient size to allow it to be wedged between the edge of the receptacle and the frame (21).

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 4 à 6, l'emballage est en forme de manchon (100) avec une paroi de distribution (101) avec ouverture (111) et une paroi arrière (105) ; les deux parois sont reliées entre elles par des entretoises (102, 103, 104). On observe que la paroi arrière (105) est en fait un retour de l'entretoise (104). Avant mise en service, le ruban élastique (3) est disposé comme dans l'exemple précédent.According to a second embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 6, the package is in the form of a sleeve (100) with a distribution wall (101) with opening (111) and a rear wall (105); the two walls are connected together by spacers (102, 103, 104). It can be seen that the rear wall (105) is in fact a return from the spacer (104). Before putting into service, the elastic tape (3) is arranged as in the previous example.

Les entretoises empêchent a priori la paroi (105) de se mouvoir vers la paroi (101). On a donc prévu une ligne prédécoupée (106) sur la paroi (105) de sorte qu'elle soit rompue par l'élastique (3) à la mise en service. Il peut ainsi entraîner les produits vers l'ouverture de distribution au fur et à mesure qu'ils sont débités.The spacers a priori prevent the wall (105) from moving towards the wall (101). A pre-cut line (106) is therefore provided on the wall (105) so that it is broken by the elastic (3) when it is put into service. It can thus lead the products to the distribution opening as they are debited.

Un mode particulièrement avantageux de réalisation de l'enveloppe (100) consiste à découper une plaque de carton - ou tout autre matériau équivalent - comme représenté à la figure 6. Les traits pleins figurent les découpes et les traits interrompus les lignes de pliage.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the envelope (100) consists in cutting a cardboard plate - or any other equivalent material - as shown in FIG. 6. The solid lines represent the cutouts and the broken lines the fold lines.

La plaque est découpée ainsi dans le sens de la longueur en 3 bandes (102, 103, 104) à partir d'une ligne de pliage transversale (105′) délimitant un rabat. A l'autre extrémité de la plaque, la ligne de pliage transversale (101′) délimite un deuxième rabat et la ligne de pliage (101˝) qui lui est parallèle délimite avec la ligne (101′) un panneau (101) qui constituera la paroi de distribution. On découpe à cet effet une ouverture dans le panneau.The plate is thus cut lengthwise into 3 strips (102, 103, 104) from a transverse fold line (105 ′) delimiting a flap. At the other end of the plate, the transverse fold line (101 ′) delimits a second flap and the fold line (101˝) which is parallel to it delimits with the line (101 ′) a panel (101) which will constitute the distribution wall. An opening is cut for this purpose in the panel.

Pour le montage, on plie la bande centrale (104) en (105′), dans un sens, et en (104′) - distant de (105′) - dans l'autre sens. La partie comprise entre les lignes (105′) et (104′) constitue la paroi (105) arrière. On plie le panneau (101) autour de la ligne (101˝) et on fixe l'extrémité de la bande (104) au rabat venu de (101) que l'on a également replié. On obtient ainsi le manchon de la figure 4.For assembly, the central strip (104) is folded in (105 ′), in one direction, and in (104 ′) - distant from (105 ′) - in the other direction. The part between the lines (105 ′) and (104 ′) constitutes the rear wall (105). The panel (101) is folded around the line (101˝) and the end of the strip (104) is fixed to the flap from (101) which has also been folded. The sleeve of FIG. 4 is thus obtained.

Selon une variante, au lieu de prévoir la rupture de la paroi (105) on peut ménager des lignes de pliage sur les entretoises (102, 103 et 104) de façon à leur permettre de se plier en accordéon et d'assurer la fonction poussoir par la paroi (105) au fur et à mesure du débit des produits.According to a variant, instead of providing for the rupture of the wall (105), it is possible to provide fold lines on the spacers (102, 103 and 104) so as to allow them to fold in accordion and to provide the push function. through the wall (105) as the products flow.

La figure 8 représente un mode particulièrement avantageux de l'invention.FIG. 8 represents a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention.

La recharge est montrée à demi engagée dans un boîtier (30) à ouverture frontale. L'emballage de la recharge est constitué d'une plaque (1′) frontale avec une ouverture de distribution (11′), de deux rubans élastiques (3′), et d'une plaque arrière non visible sur la figure.The refill is shown half engaged in a housing (30) with front opening. The refill packaging consists of a front plate (1 ′) with a dispensing opening (11 ′), two elastic tapes (3 ′), and a rear plate not visible in the figure.

La plaque (1′) est pourvue de volets (10′) sur les bords, qui forment un angle avec elle. Ils sont, sur le figure, rabattus contre le paquet de serviettes.The plate (1 ′) is provided with flaps (10 ′) on the edges, which form an angle with it. They are, in the figure, folded against the package of towels.

Le boîtier (30) comprend un élément de paroi frontale amovible (31) pourvu d'une ouverture de distribution. L'élément (31) est constitué également en un matériau rigide, et comporte des rebords latéraux (32, 33) qui lui sont perpendiculaires.The housing (30) includes a removable front wall member (31) having a dispensing opening. The element (31) is also made of a rigid material, and has lateral flanges (32, 33) which are perpendicular thereto.

Le rebord (33) est pourvu, sur sa face interne, d'un ergot (34) dont la fonction est de coopérer avec le volet (10′) de la plaque (1′) pour l'immobiliser. Le flanc (32) est pourvu d'un moyen (35) d'accrochage avec la paroi correspondante du boîtier. On met en place la recharge dans le boîtier de la manière suivante :
   On dispose la face amovible (31) contre la plaque (1′) et on l'y solidarise en faisant en sorte que l'ergot (34) vienne en prise sur le bord libre du volet (10′).The rim (33) is provided, on its internal face, with a lug (34) whose function is to cooperate with the flap (10 ′) of the plate (1 ′) to immobilize it. The sidewall (32) is provided with means (35) for hooking with the corresponding wall of the housing. The refill is placed in the housing as follows:
The removable face (31) is placed against the plate (1 ′) and it is joined there by ensuring that the lug (34) engages on the free edge of the flap (10 ′).

L'ensemble ainsi solidaire est introduit dans le boîtier que l'élément de paroi (31) vient fermer.The assembly thus secured is introduced into the housing that the wall element (31) comes to close.

Le moyen d'accrochage (35) assure la solidarisation de l'élément de paroi (31) avec le boîtier.The attachment means (35) secures the wall element (31) to the housing.

On dispose ainsi d'un ensemble stable, dont le remplissage est particulièrement aisé. Le nombre de pièces est réduit tout en assurant la fonction d'entrainement des articles.There is thus a stable assembly, the filling of which is particularly easy. The number of parts is reduced while ensuring the drive function of the articles.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation présentés, elle englobe tous les équivalents.The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented, it encompasses all equivalents.
