Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for bulk products, for example potato fries, but not exclusively, comprising a thin pleated sheet associated with a semi-rigid unpleated sheet delimiting a space intended to contain the products and serving to support the deployment of the pleated sheet.
  • Patent FR-A-2595666 (corresponding to the preamble of claim 1) describes a packaging for a sandwich of the "hamburger" type, consisting of a thin sheet pleated parallel to its width, the folds of which are welded together in the vicinity of their lateral ends in two narrow zones. Such packaging is not suitable for bulk products.
  • US-A-3446416 describes a package consisting of a semi-rigid sheet capable of being shaped to reserve a cavity serving as a receptacle for a sandwich. This package is not intended to contain bulk products because it does not have a closure.
  • the packaging in question and as claimed makes it possible to contain not only solid bulk products, but also one-piece products such as pizzas.
  • the invention resides in the assembly of a non-pleated area 1 Fig.1 consisting of a semi-rigid sheet, capable of being shaped, and a thin and flexible pleated film 2 as described in the patents and applications cited patents;
  • the non-pleated zone 1 FIG. 2 is shaped to, on the one hand, serve as a receptacle for the solid bulk product 3 to be conditioned, on the other hand, to constitute the object of convex shape, as described in the cited patents, which may then be covered, totally or partially, by the deployment of the pleated zone 14 Fig.3 of the packaging; the zone made up of a semi-rigid sheet 1 Fig.
  • the packaging consists of a semi-rigid zone 1 Fig.1 formed for example of a cardboard box having in its center an elongated rectangular zone 4 bordered, on either side of the two of the parallel sides 5, by a zone in the form of a semicircle 6 having said side 5 as a diameter, thus forming an arc of 180 °; each of the two parallel sides 5, common to rectangle 4 and to the semi-circular zones 6, has a creasing allowing the folding; the pleated paper zone 1 is fixed in the vicinity of its edge 34 according to a fixing zone 33 which runs along it, using for example one of the fixing methods described in patent FR-A-2 676 037 (published on 06.011.1992 ), parallel to one of the other sides 7 of the rectangle 4 so that the folds 8 located in the vicinity of the side 7 are parallel to it; this fixing zone 33 is situated substantially in the middle of the edge 34 of the pleated part 2 and occupies substantially the length of the side 7 of the rectangular zone 4; the shape of the folds 8 of the pleated
  • the packaging is unfolded Fig.3 it forms a self-locked closed enclosure insofar as the length of the previously folded and deployed zone 14 is greater than the length of the semicircle 13 Fig.2 forming the edge of the semi-circular zone rigid 1; indeed the distance 16 between the end 15 Fig.
  • the two semi-circular zones 6 Fig.1 taken by way of example can be replaced by zones limited by arcs of circles passing through the ends 17 of each of the two sides 5 of the rectangle common with the lateral zones 6; there are obviously endless possibilities; in particular for all the arcs of circles of less than 180 ° delimiting lateral zones 6 smaller than those made up of semi-circles previously described, the deployment of a pleated part 1 calculated according to the cylindrical shape obtained is not automatically self-locking; in return for all the arcs of circles of more than 180 ° delimiting zones larger than the semi-circular zone 6 Fig.3 previously described, the deployment of the pleated part 14 is self-locking because the pleated zone 14 passes during its deployment by a zone diametrically opposite to its fixing point 7 before returning to cover the
  • the methods of fixing the pleated part 2 to the non-pleated part 1 are the same as those described in patent FR-A-2 676 037; the pleated part is fixed over all or part of its length depending on what is most practical for use for the proper functioning of the packaging.
  • the packaging is fixed over a length equivalent to that of the side 7, but nothing prevents it from being fixed over a greater length by overflowing onto the lateral parts; the choice is made during the development of the packaging.
  • the packaging for pizza Fig. 4 comprises a semi-rigid non-pleated zone 25 comprising a lateral zone 18 limited by an arc of a circle 26 much greater than 180 °, substantially of the diameter of the pizza 23 Fig.5 to be wrapped and which constitutes the support carton 22 Fig.5 of the pizza 23;
  • the rectangular zone 24 Fig.4 has a width 27 slightly greater than the height of the pizza to be packaged; its common side 28 with the area 18 for supporting the pizza is small enough not to significantly interfere with the positioning thereof;
  • the rectangular area has its other side 29 common with the lateral zone 19 which can have a variable shape since its role consists mainly in plugging the central round portion 20 Fig.6 left uncovered by the pleated part 21 when it is deployed around the assembly formed by the pizza and its cardboard support 22.
  • the edge 31 of the pleated part 30 Fig.4, which is parallel to the folds 32, is fixed in a fixing zone 35 perpendicular to the side 28 of the rectangular zone 24; the rectangular area 24 passes substantially in the middle of the side 31 of the pleated area and is determined using the formulas contained in the cited patents, considering that there is a cylindrical volume whose diameter is that of the area 18 and the height that of the rectangle 24.
  • the implementation of the packaging Fig.4 is done as follows: the packaging Fig.4 is laid flat and the pizza 23 Fig.5 is placed on the support area 22; the area 19 is folded over the pizza by forming the folds along the sides 28 and 29 of the rectangular area 24; a plastic piece can be interposed between the area 19 and the pizza 23 to avoid their contact; then it remains to deploy the pleated part 21 Fig.6 which naturally locks when its end comes to cover in particular the rectangular part 36 of the non-pleated area.
  • the lateral zones 37 FIG. 9 are connected by a wall 38 which reduces the opening 39 for loading the parts 40 and makes it possible to facilitate their accumulation before the deployment of the pleated zone 41.
  • a cornet can be produced, the fourth side 38 of which consists of a flat face, for example rectangular, two sides 42 of which are common with the lateral zones 37 and one side 43 adjacent to one of the sides 44 Fig. 7 of the rectangular area 45, which is perpendicular to the sides 46 common with the areas lateral 37; the means for producing the various forms of horn from semi-rigid sheets are perfectly known, as is their folding allowing them to be stored flat before use; by way of example, the connecting wall 38 Fig.
  • the side wall 37 a horn is thus formed which it is easy to fill;
  • the pleated area is, when it is sized, positioned, fixed using the same methods as those described above and illustrated in Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3; when the pleated part 51 Fig.10 is deployed around the horn formed by the semi-rigid shaped area 50 a closed container is obtained;
  • the side walls can be connected by several walls 38 which connect the side walls and which either are put in place automatically during the shaping of the semi-rigid part 50, or are put in place at the time of this deployment.
  • the packaging may include vents made up of holes 52 Fig.1 and Fig.9 made through the non-pleated area 1 and 50; these holes can lead into an area covered by the deployment of the pleated area if we want to avoid direct contact with the outside, but this is not compulsory; they may be necessary to avoid too high a concentration of humidity in the cavity thus formed, when it contains for example fried potatoes.
  • the fixing zone 53 of the pleated part and of the non-pleated part follows on a case-by-case basis from the position of the reference axis defined in particular in patent FR-A-2 595 666 around which the pleated part is deployed and which used to determine the curves whose length is used to determine the characteristics of the pleated part.
