Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement made to the receptacles used in many sectors for ensuring the presentation, decoration, or even protection of various products, such as in particular potted plants.
  • the invention will be described for such an application and the receptacle according to the invention designated by the expression "cache-pot”, but it is obvious that this is not limiting and that the The invention also covers all types of containers or containers which can contain various objects, such as baskets for the presentation of food products (bread, fruit, etc.).
  • receptacle comprising a base of circular shape, but it could be envisaged, without departing from the scope of the invention, to produce receptacles which may have a rectangular base or any other, in a similar manner. other form.
  • the plant thus presented is optionally packaged using a flat sheet (paper or film in particular), the edges of which are secured (stapling, bonding, etc.) after being placed around the article.
  • the articles comprising a pleated wall (and being in the form of an open tube surrounding only the periphery of the pot or possibly in the form of a cover having a bottom), allow a use for pots of different diameters, the presence of folds leads to a deformation of the patterns which can be printed on the surface (decor, text).
  • the covers having a smooth peripheral surface have the drawback of being able to be used only for one and the same type of pot.
  • the receptacle according to the invention when intended for potted plants, it can be used for pots having different dimensions and, in a preferred embodiment, be used either in sealed form or made non-sealed, and user choice.
  • the method according to the invention for producing a new type of receptacle which can be used for the presentation, decoration or even the protection of various articles such as in particular potted plants, consists of material comparable to the teachings of WO-88/01593, to form a flat, transparent or colored sheet, possibly printed according to an appropriate decoration, said sheet comprising a central zone whose shape and dimensions correspond to the base of the pot and, extending from this zone, radiating bands whose total surface is at least equal to the developed surface of the volume of the article surrounded by said receptacle after shaping of the sheet.
  • the central area of the precut blank will preferably be circular.
  • the shaping of the sheet and its maintenance is obtained by means of a shaping element which remains associated with the cover after completion;
  • a shaping element is in the form of a set of cups, recessed one inside the other, and between which is kept trapped the central zone of the flat sheet constituting the receptacle as well as the base of radiating bands; in such a case, the bottom of the small section cup has a weakened zone which optionally allows the user to make the receptacle not waterproof.
  • the shaping and keeping in shape of the flat sheet is carried out by thermoforming of said sheet produced either directly at the user, or possibly in the factory (in the latter case, it is obvious that one loses the advantage of flat storage before use).
  • a receptacle in accordance with the invention which not only surrounds the pot over its entire height, but also the plant that said pot contains, said receptacle then being able to be used as receptacle during transport between the sales site and place of use, and then as a simple cover or receptacle after cutting the radiating strips over part of their height.
  • a flat sheet as shown in Figure 1 and which is in the form of a pre-cut blank.
  • a flat sheet designated by the general reference (1), comprises a circular central zone (2), the diameter D1 of which determines the maximum diameter of the pots that it can contain, any pot of smaller diameter can of course be arranged to inside such a cache.
  • This central area presents, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, an opening (3). From this central area (1) extend a plurality of radiating bands (4a, 4b ..) separated from each other, and whose total area is at least equal to the developed area of the volume which must surround the pot of the plant to present.
  • the material in which such a sheet (1) is made can be of any type, but will preferably be chosen from materials such as cardboard, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate ( FART).
  • the sheet (1) can be transparent or colored, and optionally printed according to a specific pattern.
  • such a sheet must, however, have a thickness and a rigidity such that the radiating strips (4a, 4b, etc.) cannot deform under their own weight, especially when 'They are arranged vertically or substantially vertically.
  • the shaping of the receptacle according to the invention can be obtained by compressing the aforementioned sheet in its central zone. Such a compression operation causes the raising of the radiating bands (4a, 4b) which are juxtaposed edge to edge (possibly with a partial overlap), the folded bands and the flat bottom being maintained in this position.
  • Different solutions can be envisaged to achieve such a conformation.
  • the shaping and the maintenance of the sheet (1) is obtained by means of an assembly essentially comprising two cups, designated by the general references (5) and (6 ), one (5) (figure 2) being able to be embedded in the second (6) (figures 3a to 3c), by trapping between them the circular base (2) of the sheet and part of the height of the precut areas close to the diameter D1 in FIG. 1.
  • the blocking is obtained by means of a clipping system which allows, during the shaping of the sheet (1), also to maintain the latter on the cup (5 ) to facilitate handling and allow centering.
  • the internal cup (5) comprises, at its base (see FIGS. 3a and 3b) four equidistant sectors (9) forming clips and which, when said cup (5) is associated with the external cup (6 ), ensure the connection of the two cups between them.
  • FIG. 3c is an enlarged view showing the structure of such sectors (9), structure such that they can be force-fitted inside an opening (8) provided in the central part of the external cup (6) .
  • the internal cup (5) advantageously comprises in its central part, a weakened zone (10) which allows the user to obtain a non-waterproof cover allowing a flow of water from watering.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4e illustrate the manner in which such a receptacle is produced from a set of elements comprising a sheet (1) and two cups (5,6), these elements being shown side by side in FIG. 1.
  • Imprisonment of the circular bottom (2) of the sheet (1) by the user causes the radiating bands (4a, 4b ..) to straighten, this operation being able to be carried out either by action of the user on the bottom of the cup (5) as shown in Figure 4, or possibly by directly placing the pot inside the cover thus formed.
  • the user causes the two cups (5,6) to be blocked one inside the other, so as to maintain the sheet (1) thus formed in position (see FIG. 4e).
  • the two cups (5,6) being nested one inside the other, one obtains a receptacle having the form of a pot-holder, the pre-cut radiating strips being maintained substantially vertically, edge to edge or possibly with a slight overlap . If such a receptacle or cover can be used as it is, it can be envisaged to join together the edges of the radiating strips (4a, 4b, etc.), for example by stapling or adding a peripheral link.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
  • receptacles having a base other than circular for example receptacles having a rectangular base and which can be used in other fields, such as for example to present objects (food, etc.).
