Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reclosable folded cardboard packaging for dry products, comprising front and rear panels and side panels between said front and rear panels and flaps forming the bottom and top of said packaging and having a reclosable closure of substantially prismatic shape. delimited by a hinge line on the top of said packaging, cutting lines on the front and rear panels leading to said hinge and on one of the side panels by a cutting line.
  • Resealable packaging is already known for packaging dry products, such as spaghetti, such as that which is the subject of US patent 5,067,615.
  • the packaging which is the subject of this patent is well reclosable, but it requires cutting in the form of a very complicated blank which requires several stages for folding and gluing, in particular a rotation of the blank.
  • This configuration requires the use of specific packaging forming machines.
  • it must be opened in two stages, namely the main opening, then an interior secondary opening.
  • the utility model DE-U-8908393 relates to a package comprising a reclosable closure disposed on the top of said package. This type of closure is not practical, since it makes it difficult to directly dose powder without using a spoon.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a reclosable packaging for the packaging of dry products, requiring a fairly simple cutting, allowing forming and bonding on standard machines and easy to use.
  • the invention relates to a folded cardboard packaging according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the closure comprises, under the cutting line of the abovementioned side panel and integral with it, a pre-cut gripping tab comprising a locking tab provided for s engaging in a slot formed in a layer of cardboard applied against said side panel under said gripping tab and in which the aforementioned side panel in which said closure is formed and the cardboard layer are located at two opposite ends of the blank in which is made the packaging.
  • the packaging according to the invention is normally made of normal or recycled quality cardboard, simple or micro-corrugated. It is intended either to put directly dry products such as pasta, pet food, cereals, cookies, or to put in a flexible inner bag containing milk flours, cocoa powders.
  • the advantage of this packaging in the latter case is that it allows direct dosing of the powder without requiring the consumer to use a spoon.
  • the cutting lines of the front and rear panels consist of longer segments near the hinge line and the side panel than in the middle of said panels. The reason is that we want to minimize during the transport and storage of these packages the risks of opening said package.
  • the gripping tab located on the side panel normally has a width substantially half that of the width of said side panel.
  • the locking tab has the shape of a semicircle, because this shape allows a good reclosure of the packaging.
  • another form of the locking tab is also possible.
  • the slot for receiving the locking tab is rectangular. To facilitate the grip of the gripping tab, it is provided under said tongue, on the side panel, a non-critical but preferably semi-circular recess.
  • a semi-circular cutout is provided on the hinge line. This cut makes it possible to lean on the flap located directly below and thus keeps the packaging well open.
  • the closure can have an opening angle alpha (see fig. 1) of between 0 and 90 °, preferably between 40 and 50 °.
  • an angle close to 45 ° can be provided.
  • the cuts are shown in continuous lines, the precuts are in continuous line with points representing the areas not cut, and the fold lines in continuous lines followed by two dotted lines.
  • the bonding areas are represented by hatching.
  • the blank (1) of the packaging according to the invention comprises front (2) and rear (3) panels, side panels (4,5) and flaps (6,7,8,14) forming the top and flaps (9,10,11,15) forming the bottom of said packaging.
  • the panel (12) is provided during folding to be located under the panel (5).
  • This package comprises a closure (19) of substantially prismatic shape comprising a hinge line (20) and pre-cut lines (21, 22) leading to a pre-cut line (23) of the side panel (5).
  • a gripping tab (24) precut along a line (30) comprising a locking tab (25) provided to engage in the slot (26) of the panel (12) located below.
  • a recess (27) Under the gripping tab (24) is a recess (27) facilitating the grip of said tab.
  • a semi-circular cutout (28) is provided which presses in the open position against the other flap (7).
  • a cutout (29) is provided on this latter flap.
  • the opening of the packaging (18) is done as follows: the user presses on the panels (2,3) at the level of the precut lines (21,22) to tear them. Then, he pulls on the grip tab (24) to tear it off according to the precut lines (30,23). He can then lift the closure (19) into the position according to FIG. 3. Due to the cutout (29) on the flap (7), the semi-circular cutout (28) can press against said flap (7) so as to ensure better opening of the packaging. The user can then pour the contents of the package (18). To close (fig. 4), push the closure (19) down and engage the locking tab (25) in the slot (26). There is thus according to the invention a resealable packaging ensuring a good seal of the product contained therein and easy to use.
