Description

L'invention concerne un emballage refermable en carton plié pour produits secs, comportant des panneaux avant et arrière et des panneaux latéraux entre lesdits panneaux avant et arrière et des rabats formant le fond et le haut dudit emballage et présentant une fermeture refermable de forme sensiblement prismatique délimitée par une ligne charnière sur le haut dudit emballage, des lignes de découpe sur les panneaux avant et arrière aboutissant sur ladite charnière et sur l'un des panneaux latéraux par une ligne de découpe.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.

On connaît déjà des emballages refermables pour le conditionnement de produits secs, tels que des spaghetti, comme celui faisant l'objet du brevet US 5'067'615. L'emballage, objet de ce brevet, est bien refermable, mais il nécessite une découpe sous forme de flan très compliqué qui oblige à plusieurs étapes pour le pliage et le collage, notamment une rotation du flan. Cette configuration oblige à l'utilisation de machines spécifiques de formage de l'emballage. En outre, lors de la première utilisation, il faut ouvrir en deux étapes, à savoir l'ouverture principale, puis une ouverture secondaire intérieure. Le modèle d'utilité DE-U-8908393 concerne un emballage comportant une fermeture refermable disposée sur le haut dudit emballage. Ce type de fermeture n'est pas pratique, car il permet difficilement un dosage direct de poudre sans utilisation de cuillère.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. In addition, during the first use, 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.

Le but de la présente invention est de mettre au point un emballage refermable pour le conditionnement de produits secs, nécessitant une découpe assez simple, permettant le formage et le collage sur des machines standard et d'un emploi facile.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.

L'invention concerne un emballage en carton plié selon le préambule de la revendication 1, dans lequel la fermeture comporte sous la ligne de découpe du panneau latéral précité et solidaire de celui-ci une languette de préhension prédécoupée comprenant une languette de verrouillage prévue pour s'engager dans une fente formée dans une couche de carton appliquée contre ledit panneau latéral sous ladite languette de préhension et dans lequel le panneau latéral précité dans lequel est formeé ladite fermeture et la couche de carton sont situés à deux extrémités opposées du flan dans lequel est réalisé l'emballage.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.

L'emballage selon l'invention est normalement en carton de qualité normale ou de qualité recyclée, simple ou microondulé. Il est prévu soit pour y mettre directement des produits secs comme des pâtes, des aliments pour animaux familiers, des céréales, des biscuits, soit pour y mettre un sachet intérieur souple contenant des farines lactées, des poudres de cacao. L'intérêt de cet emballage dans ce dernier cas, est qu'il permet le dosage direct de la poudre sans nécessiter pour le consommateur d'utiliser une cuillère.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.

D'autre part, cet emballage est d'un usage très pratique pour le consommateur comme on le verra plus loin en référence aux figures.On the other hand, this packaging is very practical for the consumer as will be seen below with reference to the figures.

Les lignes de découpe des panneaux avant et arrière sont constitués de segments plus longs à proximité de la ligne charnière et du panneau latéral qu'au milieu desdits panneaux. La raison est qu'on veut minimiser lors du transport et du stockage de ces emballages les risques d'ouverture dudit emballage. La languette de préhension située sur le panneau latéral a normalement une largeur sensiblement moitié de celle de la largeur dudit panneau latéral.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.

La languette de verrouillage a la forme d'un demi-cercle, car cette forme permet une bonne refermeture de l'emballage. Néanmoins, une autre forme de la languette de verrouillage est également possible.The locking tab has the shape of a semicircle, because this shape allows a good reclosure of the packaging. However, another form of the locking tab is also possible.

La fente prévue pour recevoir la languette de verrouillage est de forme rectangulaire. Pour faciliter la prise de la languette de préhension, il est prévu sous ladite languette, sur le panneau latéral, un décrochement de forme non critique mais de préférence semi-circulaire.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.

Pour garantir à la fermeture de bien rester en position ouverte lors de l'utilisation de l'emballage, il est prévu sur la ligne charnière une découpe de forme semi-circulaire. Cette découpe permet de s'appuyer sur le rabat situé directement en dessous et maintient ainsi l'emballage bien ouvert.To ensure that the closure remains in the open position when using the packaging, 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.

La fermeture peut avoir un angle d'ouverture alpha (voir fig. 1) compris entre 0 et 90°, de préférence entre 40 et 50°.The closure can have an opening angle alpha (see fig. 1) of between 0 and 90 °, preferably between 40 and 50 °.

Pour un emballage avec sachet intérieur souple, on peut prévoir un angle proche de 45°. Par contre, pour un emballage sans sachet intérieur, il est préférable de prévoir un angle plus faible, car cet angle conditionne le niveau de remplissage dudit emballage.For a packaging with flexible inner bag, an angle close to 45 ° can be provided. On the other hand, for packaging without an inner bag, it is preferable to provide a smaller angle, since this angle conditions the level of filling of said packaging.

Sur les figures, les découpes sont représentées en lignes continues, les prédécoupes sont en ligne continue avec des points représentant les zones non découpées, et les lignes de pliage en traits continus suivis de deux pointillés. Les zones de collage sont représentées par des hachures.In the figures, 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.

Le flan (1) de l'emballage selon l'invention comporte des panneaux avant (2) et arrière (3), des panneaux latéraux (4,5) et des rabats (6,7,8,14) formant le haut et des rabats (9,10,11,15) formant le fond dudit emballage. Le panneau (12) est prévu lors du pliage pour se trouver sous le panneau (5). On colle les panneaux (5) et (12) le long de la zone de collage (13), on replie les rabats (6,14,7 et 8) qu'on colle le long de la zone (16) et les rabats (9,15,10,11) qu'on colle le long de la zone (17), après y avoir amené le contenu.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). We glue the panels (5) and (12) along the gluing zone (13), we fold the flaps (6,14,7 and 8) that we glue along the zone (16) and the flaps (9,15,10,11) which is glued along the area (17), after having brought the content there.

On obtient alors l'emballage (18) selon la fig. 2. Cet emballage comporte une fermeture (19) de forme sensiblement prismatique comportant une ligne charnière (20) et des lignes de prédécoupe (21, 22) aboutissant sur une ligne de prédécoupe (23) du panneau latéral (5). Sous cette ligne de prédécoupe se trouve une languette de préhension (24) prédécoupée selon une ligne (30) comprenant une languette de verrouillage (25) prévue pour s'engager dans la fente (26) du panneau (12) situé endessous. Sous la languette de préhension (24) se trouve un décrochement (27) facilitant la prise de ladite languette. Sur la charnière (20) du rabat supérieur (8), il est prévu une découpe semi-circulaire (28) qui appuie en position d'ouverture contre l'autre rabat (7). Sur ce dernier rabat, il est prévu une découpe (29).The packaging (18) is then obtained according to FIG. 2. 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). Under this pre-cut line is 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. Under the gripping tab (24) is a recess (27) facilitating the grip of said tab. On the hinge (20) of the upper flap (8), a semi-circular cutout (28) is provided which presses in the open position against the other flap (7). On this latter flap, a cutout (29) is provided.

L'ouverture de l'emballage (18) se fait de la manière suivante: l'utilisateur appuie sur les panneaux (2,3) au niveau des lignes de prédécoupe (21,22) pour les déchirer. Ensuite, il tire sur la languette de préhension (24) pour l'arracher selon les lignes de prédécoupe (30,23). Il peut alors soulever la fermeture (19) jusque dans la position selon la fig. 3. Du fait de la découpe (29) sur le rabat (7), la découpe semi-circulaire (28) peut appuyer contre ledit rabat (7) de manière à assurer une meilleure ouverture de l'emballage. L'utilisateur peut alors verser le contenu de l'emballage (18). Pour refermer (fig. 4), on repousse la fermeture (19) vers le bas et on engage la patte de verrouillage (25) dans la fente (26). On dispose ainsi selon l'invention d'un emballage refermable assurant une bonne étanchéité du produit y contenu et d'un emploi aisé.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.
